How the hell we feel in here on a Wednesday morning?
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Fine, little hump day.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, little hump day. Yeah, I mean nah, yeah, LeVar
is stacked and.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Yet for fun today, but I'm sure I feel very sore.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Guys, come on, braga, best do it?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Come on.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
I got the eighty I got the eighty reps on
two twenty five yesterday, going to bench.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
But I'm really all at once?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
No, no, oh, it's like my goodness. No uh.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
The most I did at once was fifteen fifteen on
the third set. Third set, I think the first one
I did ten, the second one I did twelve.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I went up, Did you do it at the combine?
I did?
Speaker 5 (02:01):
I did not do it at the combat I did
at my pro day, I did twenty and threw it
on the rack. Ooh okay, like literally like one two three, four, five,
eighty seven, eight nine to eleven, twelve, thirteen, forteen, fifty, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,
nineteen twenty.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Threw it on the rack like I never slowed down.
I didn't.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
I didn't want them to know what what you know,
where the end was. It could have been the next one,
It could have been the next ten. You know, who knows.
You weren't out on the rack.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
You weren't out to like, you know, beat Jay Cutler's
record from the year before or anything like that, Jay
Cully from.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
One of the NFL way before Ja Cutler.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, I'm saying because I've heard sure how he would
have known about Jay Cutler the quarterback, Yeah, when he
was there like a decade before, because I've heard stories
that like Jay Cutler's mark was something that somebody tried
to beat at the combine once, you know, because they
where they were gassed up by a certain member of
the combine crew.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
That was like speaking of Denver, speaking of interesting news,
I feel.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Like, uh, we've been cheating on you guys, know.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
That right, Whether you're not taking that bait, We've been
cheated on.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
By the NFL. We've been cheating on. Boy, the NFL.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yes, we have.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I wanted to see it. I am frustrated by what
is taking place.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
You want to hear Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Stealer Nation Less wailed do what.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Mike Tomlin does.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
The Stiller head coach Mike Tomlin spoke yesterday about the
decision at quarterback, which will be Justin Fields, not Russell
Wilson heading to Denver.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
You know, I just visited with him. He feels better
today than he did over the weekend, and so what
that means I don't know. As we sit here today,
I know that we're going to take the same approach
that we take with a lot of people in terms
of injury. We'll first start with his participation and his
level of participation, his quality of participation. Over the course
(03:50):
of the week, we'll be analyzing whether he's capable of
protecting himself, whether he's capable of being productive. You know,
when we get to those points, that's when we'll ponder
here inclusion or not, And when that happens will probably
be a component of that equation. But as I sit
here today, we're preparing as if Justin is going to
(04:10):
be our quarterback. I think that's the appropriate way to
do it. Speculation is a waste of time. Russell's heard,
he's not available to us, and so, as you guys know,
as a general practice, man, I focus my energy on
those that are available in their readiness. Just saw Justin
he just finished a good workout here today and excited
about maybe going through a complete week with him. In
(04:33):
terms of the preparation process.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I love Mike Tomlin. Like speculation would be a waste
of time.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
It would be yeah, And so it's going to be JF,
not RW in Denver taking on the Broncos here. And
it's to me, it's kind of wild to think that
if Justin Fields plays well enough, Russell Wilson's not going
to get his opportunity. Like Justin Fields can win this
job with good enough quarterback play, and Russell Wilson could
(05:03):
just be sitting there watching this whole time because of
a calf injury that we kind of dismissed, not entirely
just talked about as well. Listeners to calf issue. He'll
be back. You know, they're just taking precaution and here
we are still not an opportunity for him to suit
up yet and maybe not if Justin Fields plays well enough.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
You know they're being so vague about what the calf
injury is, you wonder if it's a lot more substantial.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Christian McCaffrey various reports.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Right, we weren't sure what his status was for week one,
we find out he's not going to play at all,
and then there is a port. I think I saw
that he was not going to play in week two.
He's with achilles tenonitis and he just doesn't feel like
he's back. And now he's a running back, that's going
to impact him more than anyone else. But if you're
a quarterback, that's still a big part of your game too.
(05:52):
And I know we're diagnosing it or calling it a
calf injury, but watching Russell Wilson warm up before the game,
it seemed a lot more significant than what they're leading on.
I mean, he really wasn't moving around very well at all.
I mean at all, even in like a dropback from
taking a shotgun snap. So I think there could be
(06:15):
a little bit of long runway here for Justin Fields
to prove that he could be the guy, or that
he has improved.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I mean, I think the.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Biggest thing for Justin Fields, it's almost not even how
well he plays because the bar has been set so
low in Pittsburgh over the last couple of years with
the offense. It more has to do with just whether
or not they win, and if they win, I don't
think Pittsburgh Steelers fans are going to care quite as much. Yes,
it'll be frustrating, it'll be a punch line and someone's joke.
(06:44):
But the truth is is, I think they'll be okay
if they're just winning and they're undefeated and they keep
moving forward with justin Fields. It's only going to come
down to switching him out if they start losing and
then you start looking at the quarterback play and saying, yeah,
he's not really lighting the world on fire.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Yeah, I would tend to agree. Obviously, both of them
came at a valued price tag, so there's no real
pressure to say, well, like a Daniel Jones situation, we
paid them, we gotta play them. Deshaun Watson situation, we
paid them, so we got to play them.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
That doesn't exist here.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
They put themselves in a position where they have two
quarterbacks that came in at the same exact time that
are former starting quarterbacks of another team. So to me,
I don't even really feel like it's a major discussion.
If Russell Wilson gets healthy and is able to show
(07:45):
what he can do, as Mike Thomlins said in his statements,
if he can show what he can do in practice,
and at this point, let's just say, at the point
of where he's able to do so, the Pittsburgh Steelers
are maybe winning but not very good on offense, or
(08:06):
they're losing, sure he'll get an opportunity. But if they're
winning in a way that they're satisfied with the way
they're winning. This wasn't for Russell Wilson to lose the job.
This was for Russell Wilson to win the job. When
Justin Fields came in, it wasn't for Justin Fields to
lose the job. It was for Justin Fields to win
(08:27):
the job. Not one of these quarterbacks was in a
position where they were actually stable enough to look at
it from the perspective of it's their job to lose.
Now he was named the starter. Now, I understand that,
but I don't think that that had any tremendous bearing
on on Tomlin and his coaching staff being married to
(08:51):
him being the starter. I think everyone knows that this
was a game by game basis situation and business or
you know, job interview, job audition for both of them.
So for Justin Fields, Justin Fields needs to be confident
in the sense that if he plays well, he's job
(09:12):
auditioning and could stabilize and take the job. He didn't
blow anybody away with the game that he had that
first game. It's not like we came away from the
first game like, yep, Justin Fields. You saw what Justin
Fields could do. He protected the ball, which was the
most important thing. He managed the game, which was probably
(09:34):
I don't know, maybe one A. Maybe that's one and
ball protection is one A or two, I don't know.
But he didn't do anything to hurt the team, and
they know that they're going to ride their defense to
be able to win games with either one of these
guys in there. So I just I don't look at
it as it being that big of a deal. If
(09:56):
Russ doesn't start, or if Russ does start, I really don't.
I just look at it as who's going to win
the job, because it's ultimately a job that's up for
grabs and has been up for grabs since Ben Roethlisberger's
decline as the franchise quarterback of that team.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Like, I looked at the game the other day and
I'm thinking, to Brady's point, look if he and to
your point as well too, if he protects the football
and it doesn't look the greatest, but they're winning games,
I just don't see Mike Tomlin yanking him out of
the lineup because, well, look it's like no like that,
you're winning games. He's not turning the ball over, which
(10:35):
was really Mike Tomlin's issue with Justin Fields in the preseason.
It wasn't so much his performance, it was the turnovers.
He had a couple of fumbles in a preseason game
and he said that was really what sort of soured
him on that performance in the game. If he just
protects the football and they're winning games, even if it's
ugly like this and Chris Boswell's got to kick six
field goals, like, Mike Tomlin's not going to make a switch.
(10:58):
And look, if you're the Chicago Bears, you're probably hoping
he doesn't because one of the conditions in that trade
was that sixth round pick turns into a fourth if
he placed fifty one percent of the snaps. So there
is that component to this as well too. I look
at Russell Wilson and I go and I don't know
who made the point yesterday, but this really is it
(11:19):
for him? Like this is it? Like Russell Wilson. If
this doesn't work in pitches it else where else is
he getting an opportunity? And I didn't see this fall
from grace for him after he left Seattle.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I just didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I thought the reason they moved on from Russ in
Seattle was the relationship with soured. Him and Pete Carroll
just weren't able to co exist anymore and they needed
to go their separate ways. And to see where he's
at now as opposed to where he was, you know,
his final couple of years with the Seahawks, I did
not anticipate kind of wild to think about. I did
(11:56):
you saw coming? I mean, but like you said, his
stats were, I just he was.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I'm just the MVP conversation one of those years, right.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
I just that year they said let rust cook, like
the year right before the.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
First six games. He was cooking though, and.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Then he got what was it, the mallet finger that
final year in Seattle.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, the dreaded Mallifinger had one of those
and that's where stinks.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
That's where he that's by the way, how's the ankle?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I don't know, man, I got imaging and stuff today.
I'm not I'm not very optimistic, all right.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
I just I don't want to have to have surgery,
Like I really, I've been through enough with those.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Man. I got four kids, I got a fifth coming, like.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
I've really I've realized when you have an injury at
this age, it is a huge setback to like your
entire family, like I, like when you get hurt as
a quarterback, like oh man, like I and I. You know,
I had a clean bill of health through college and
the NFL is a different story. It felt like every
single time I got an opportunity, I was getting injured.
(13:00):
But like as a father, as a husband, dude, would
you have an injury like this and you're like either
you know, on crutches or wheelchair written or something. It
is a huge liability to the rest of your family,
especially with the kids at the ages that they are.
So I just pray to God I do not have
to get surgery and this is just a really bad sprain.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Hell. I would even do like the tightrope surgery.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
You know what I'm saying. When they like bring.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Back, Yeah, when like Tua came back after like a
week and a half or something.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Dude, juice me up, whatever your need, give me the tightrope.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
I don't know what it is. I just need to
make sure that this does not carry on very very
much further the rest of this football season.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Bro, what does that mean for your buying and schedule
for big news?
Speaker 7 (13:45):
I carry on business as usual, not gonna be moving
as fast, but business as walking.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Boot on. Yeah, it's that in hell.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
You know, they told me that they're dead. They're like,
you know, we could get you one of those carts
in the airport. I said, nope, I want why because.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
It's an ankle.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Man. You understand, like my foundation works.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
With too many veterans who have lost you know, legs, limbs,
et cetera. So I see too much of like the
people who really need that assistance, the people who really,
like you know, are considered handicap and need help.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
I do not.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I do not fall into that.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
If you got to get surgery on your ankle and
you can't put pressure on your ankle, me back into play.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Coach, I'm ready to go get that tightrope bike chang.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
I'm gonna get that bike chair. I've got a couple
of bikes in that. I'll just take it to the orthopedics.
Speaker 9 (14:43):
Here, buddy, something if you take in a bike chain
and actual bike chain from one of the bikes you
got in your garage and have them put it in
your body, like I'll never respect you more than that.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Like that and what a move?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Yeah, you imagine that, man airport assistance.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
I'm I'm pretty sure that bike chain one time like
ripped off my bike, like I had a bit of
a biking accent once where it was. It was the
most disappointed chopper has ever been in me my entire life.
Like I used to go for these like it was
like a nine mile sprint and I used to go
up this bridge and I was like, you know, you're
grinding like you're going.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Up a hill.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
It's a pretty big bridge and I don't know how
but like I don't know if I hit something or
if the change just popped off, But like next thing
I know, I'm like tumbling over top of the bike,
scrape out my knees, scraping of my arm, and I'm
like at this point, there's another guy who was like
riding the other way and he like stopped. He's like, dude,
you okay? And I was like, yeah, I think so.
And my bike was like torn up from it. So
(15:40):
I had to walk about, I don't know, probably three
quarters of a mile back home.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
And I get back and my dad's looking at me
and he's just like, what happened to you?
Speaker 7 (15:47):
I was like, I full off my bike, was like hell,
that happened, and he just looks at me to disgusted.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
He takes his coffee and just walks away. He just
goes on your bike.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
I think he wanted to call me like a few
different words that I can't sit there, but I was
just I looked at him.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I'm like, no, no, chopper, I've meant to do this,
like I meant to do this.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Well, man, get that assistance. No, man with that ankle
is jacked up. No, put me in coach.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I'm ready to go.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Yeah, yeah, all right, especially if it's a long terminal.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Man. I tried that. I did a whole game. I
did Big New Big noon kickoffs. So you had gout though.
That's different.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Yeah, but it's not because if you didn't realize you
had it.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
If you hurt, you're hurt. Man. If you're down, you're down,
Sit your you're hurt, injury that you're hurt.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
And I well, all right, so you've got you've got
Madison this week.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
And then do you know schedule next week?
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Yes? I do.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
I can't reveal it yet, but things things will set
up well for me, at least in the short term.
We'll see what things look like in the long term.
But in the short term, like I said, tight, wrote
me up, coach, put me back in there.

soccer with my daughters. All right, that's how it all happened.
Like it's a terrible story I need to make. How
about this next segment? Can we all take our version
of what story I need to tell people of how
I actually injured it?

I like that. You're a hockey guy. Yeah, my brother

Speaker 2 (19:23):
I'll say I was well playing goaltender form.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
Or someth that's right, helping him out with his offseason workouts.
And yeah, he fired one hundred mile hours slapshot off tang.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Okay, that's a good one. That's actually a pretty believable too.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Isn't it. That's pretty believable, all right, very realistic. The
bars high guys. Now you guys have to try and
match up. We'll see how it goes.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, let's start with you some in the NFL.
Speaker 8 (19:43):
Whereas you were talking about pittsburghsuurorsad coach Mike Tomlin telling
reporters on Tuesday that they are planning to start justin
Fields at quarterback once again as they take on the
Broncos on Sunday. Dolphins already backed demon A Jane and
or he Mostered, both missing practice Tuesday. This is ahead
of their Thursday night game against Buffalo. So baseball games,
and note we had the Braves rolling over the Nationals
twelve to nothing.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Michael Harris a couple of homers.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
The Braves started four different pitchers or played four different
pictures in this one a bullpen game for them. They
combined on the three at shutout Atlanta back into a
tie with the Mets for the final wildcard spot in
the National League. With the Mets losing to the Blue
Jays six to two. You had the Yankees being shut
out by the Royals five nothing, Seth Lugos seven shoutout innings.
He gets his sixteenth win of the year. That's tied
for the major league leading victories. Kansas City remains three
(20:27):
in that back of Cleveland for the top spot in
the Ale Central, while in New York's lead a top
the Al East Back down to just a half game
on Baltimore with the Orioles beating the Red Sox five
to three. Cedric Mullens a couple of homers for Baltimore.
Tigers blank the Rockies eleven to nothing. Detroit starter Keiter
Montero complete game, shutout, nine innings, no runs three. It's
five strikeouts, no walks. Detroit still three back of Minnesota
(20:47):
for the final wildcard spot in the American League, with
the Twins beating the Angels ten to five. You have
the Phillies over the Rays nine to four. Philadelphias Kyle
Schwarber hit his fourteenth home run of the season from
the leadoff position. That's a new major League record for
a single seas and the Phillies now have the best
record in baseball at eighty seven and fifty eight, one
game up on the Dodgers, who lost to the Cubs
six to three. Padres over the Mariners seven three, San
(21:08):
Diego now four and a half back of LA and
the NL West racy have the Astros losing to the
A's four to three and twelve innings, Houston remaining four
and a half up on Seattle for the top spot
in the AL West, and the White Sox lose again
one hundred and thirteen losses. Now in the season, they
were shut up with the Guardians five nothing. They are
eight losses away from breaking the record for most losses
in a season. They've got sixteen games left to go.
(21:29):
Now back to Brady Quinnavar Arrington and Jonas Knox Attirerack
dot Com, Fox Sports Radio Studios.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
All right, so let's uh, let's patch us together. We
need a legitimate reason as to why Brady suffered the injury.
That sounds better than rolling his ankle playing soccer with
his daughters.
Speaker 7 (22:47):
So yeah, which Eddie started off strong. So it's now
really up to you guys try.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
To top that. Well, I've got it.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I've got a history and making up an injury to
try and sound cooler.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I was in high school.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I was at zoom A seven, had a like a
boogie board or whatever they call those in front of me.
Not exactly the greatest swimmer in the world. Don't spend
a lot of time at the beach, as you can
tell by my complexion. I turned around, had the board
in front of me, and a wave knocked me on
my ass and dragged me across the rocks. So I
got up and my back was bleeding, and I didn't
(23:21):
want to admit that I just wasn't athletic enough to
get out of the way of a wave while everybody
else is out there surfing and body serving and all that.
So I told people that I was attacked by a dolphin.
They believed it.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Why a dolphin, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I have no idea. I still can't answer that. That
was just the first thing that came to my mind,
so much so that like a year later, two years later,
there was.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
A chance you got humped by a dolphin, I got.
I agree, I agree, and Flipper would have been all
over your back.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
But for some reason that story spread. That is true.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
For some reason that story spread, and like a couple
of years later, I had a guy. I was talking
to some guy at a party and he was saying, uh, oh,
you were the guy that got attacked by that dolphin
at Zoom.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
How the hell that happened?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I was like, wait, what, Like I'd almost forgotten about it,
so I went really over the top, but it still
was believable.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
You could go a lower bar and make it still believable.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Where's this even going.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I'm just letting you know.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
You did was tell a story about how you didn't
get attacked by a dolphin.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
But the point is you can go outside the box
on this. It doesn't have to be no.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I do have some ideas, okay, I mean, like, how
like you want all this right now?
Speaker 4 (24:43):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You were practicing gymnastics. Alicia was throwing you on the
balance beam. Whoa, and you fell off.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
You can go that route, or you can.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Say I was working on my dropbacks, my three five seven.
I dropped back on seven and didn't realize that they
were doing some repair work to the field that I
was on. There was a golfer hole there they didn't
patch up, and that's why I rolled my ankle.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Or hack squats. You you were warming up on hack squats,
and you.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Were because if you roll your ankle doing hack squats,
you're quite possibly the most unathletic person ever.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Okay, well, at least I've got options.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
That might be an option for you. That's not an
option for me. Damn, that's not even believe. That's like
your Flipper story. Okay, Like if you would walk out
of the water and told me that, I'd be like,
you're an idiot that you did not get attacked by
a dolphin.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Hey they believed it. YEAHLI say it with your chest.
Have some conviction.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
You used to be able to give Flipper and what
was a clipper at pool City for your as floaties
in your pool?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Really?
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Yeah, I forget their names. Flipper was one of them, though. Yeah,
there you go. That's your story.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Well, I'm just saying I'm throwing out ideas.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
I feel like mine is a little bit more simpler,
but it could be like hurtful for you to have
to say it. Qu That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
God, where's this going?
Speaker 5 (26:06):
I would say, when did you do this? You did
this on what's today, Wednesday? So it was Monday night
and Monday night. Yeah, I would say the fallout from
your Alma Maters loss had you jumping to so many
conclusions that you asked your ankle up by Tuesday and
(26:29):
now you have to go get your ankle looked at.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
See that's believable, man, like I jumped up and down
something that.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Happened, jumping to too many conclusions. Yeah, I had to
lead the lap drank way too much. You go woke
up that had no idea what happened.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
It was just the fallout from the game, and you
don't even remember what happened. And everybody is going to
be sympathetic to you, you know everybody.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Don't you think though, that that'll shine more of a
light on the game and what happened in the game, Like,
we got to leave that one in the past, We
got to focus Well you don't have to go into
the details of it, but just like the.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Game and the injury from the game, there was an
injury to another Golden domer from the fallout of the game.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Yeah, see, yeah, I see what I'm saying. That's what happened.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
I mean, it's more, it's more plausible, it's more believable
than whatever the hell Jonas just tried to say.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Okay, well, I mean I'm squats all right, well gymnastic, Okay,
I mean hit hit by.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
A golf ball, I mean like an ankle. Yeah, I'm trying.
You know, it was sad As, Jonas, you couldn't even bring.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
In the meat wagon. That's part of the story, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Do you want to go on to a co star.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Maybe the meat wagon undercut me or try to take
my leg out instead.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Well, it was just a friendly horse play, you know,
kind of wrestling match.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I moch pitt it this weekend, Did you really? Yes?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
It was the fun I told you guys. We turned
on the music that the Steelers play sticks red.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Yeah, we started.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
We started knocking each other around in the suite. We
was breaking ass up. Was this it was after the game?
Speaker 4 (28:14):
It was after the game.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
I still got a scratch on my arm. Scrap, big
ass scrape. I guess Dophin somebody blinding up. But but
maybe his name was Flipper because he hit me with
his forearm. I got blindsided. I still don't even know
who it is that did it. It took somebody down
and was standing over a point now. Somebody blindsided me
(28:38):
into a cabinet. I scraped my armor. Like at least
three of us was bleeding at the end of it.
But it was such an energy release. I felt so good.
I think we all felt so good after. I don't
even know how it happened.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Like we we do karaoke in.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
In this in this place, like this is where I
always go every single game, and we do karaoke like
that's it's so fun. Like we drink and we do
karaoke and we watch the games, like four or five
TVs in this suite. For some reason, everybody was like
on like this frisky kick, you know, and the dude
(29:15):
turned that song on. It was like we were like
apes up in there, man, Like all that was missing
was like us doing the like ape sounds. But everybody
started like jumping around. Next thing, you know, you see
two dudes like pushing each other. That two more dudes
is pushing each other than that. I don't know what
happened after, but there was liquor involved. No, yes, there
(29:40):
were pool pork sandwiches involved. I think somebody caught a
peanut butter and they were really good. A peanut butter
cookie that that was a peanut butter cookie was involved.
There was a lot of.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Things. It was yeah, yeah, I'm not even gonna keep going.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Well, I mean, do you have any but.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
You could say you hurt yourself horse playing?
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Though?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah you got any ideas?
Speaker 11 (30:06):
Yeah, Lee, you got I was going kind of a
marrying of two of your things here, one with golf
and another with wild animal. I thought maybe like Captain
Hook situation, a gator had chased you down and uh
you had to drop kick that fool hook situation.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, because now you're not in Florida anymore, so it
had to follow you all the way.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
Uh what elaborate You've got time lee elaborate this story.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Yeah, because there's an alligator that's always time down Captain Hook.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 11 (30:35):
It's so he's going after Captain Hook no matter where
he goes, and he's, uh, he's upset that you left him.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
So he chased you all the way down.
Speaker 11 (30:41):
You got almost sprung up on you, but you had
to drop kick him, and then you got to finish
off the story with you had to sink you know,
he was going after your ball. But you sold that
twenty foot that twenty foot eagle drop kick an alligator.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
Yeah, you got a two le drop kick like the
old Chuck Norris type or what would have.
Speaker 11 (30:57):
Got Well, yeah, he would have been jumping up at
you if you had to drop kick them.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
But uh, yeah we're standing up here. Yeah, I mean,
or you just you know, how is your story not
involved booze. Well, if you're golfing, you're always boozing.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
That's a good point. Can't golf without boot You could
also incorporate your daughter. Say you were doing jiu jitsu
with them and their leg lock game was elite and
you were unaware, and so that way to compliment to them,
and you can kind of incorporate the whole family.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
There.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Probably sounds a little better than a soccer injury.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Does it?
Speaker 7 (31:30):
Does it sound better with my daughter submitted me and
putting me in a you some sort of submission.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I mean she seems like a bad a leg lock.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
I don't know about that. I mean she's a sweetheart.
Back to back to Lee's story.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Yeah, do you want you have more of in your
golf bag?
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Balls or booze? Mm?
Speaker 11 (31:51):
Depends on the that's a good question. Actually, I have
a lot of balls in my bag.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Was that because once you start drinking the booze you
lose a lot of ball?
Speaker 4 (32:01):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 11 (32:02):
Yeah, because it gets kind of they both deplete throughout
the day.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (32:07):
What and when you get when you hit the turn,
you get, make it another sleeve, make it another TALLI
or too sleep.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Leave it alone.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Golf terms.
Speaker 7 (32:18):
Listen, yeah, Lee, thank you for your contribution to the conversation.
Though absolutely I do appreciate the best part of some
clearing his throat before it came on air, it was still.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
On it.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Forgot the cough button. All right, Well, listen, I don't
know if that.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
If anybody else has got some ideas, feel fee to
throw them out there.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
But you know, who knows.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Maybe we'll get the imaging done and maybe you'll make
a miraculous recovery by this weekend.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
Maybe you were getting out a bit for your morning ritual,
the dog got in the way, You did an athletic
move to get out of the way. Bam, something happened.
Blame it on the dog. You know I could do that.
I mean, if you have a high.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
She's on her last leg. I'm not I'm not sure
I'm gonna blame throw dog.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
No, no, she's But that's even more that makes the
story even more relevant. Way what, I didn't want to
step on the dog. That dog.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
When I was icing it, she came in like immediately
when I got home, I assume you were and all that.
She came down, laid right down next to me. I
was like, so I was like, there's no way I
could ever ever put it.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
On my dog.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Chance, he definitely. And one he didn't blame the dog.
He blamed that what the dog did. That's correct. Yeah,
but but still it got the It got the job done.
That was the one of the lone shining moments of
that that trial.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
It did.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
I'm just saying, I don't think it's throwing the dog
under one shining Yes, give that dog, Give your dog
one more moment, make her a part of your story.
You didn't want to step on your beloved dog, and
you made an athletic move to get out of the way.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yeah, maybe you'll get a Colone commercial out of it.
Death guy, there you go right afterwards, got a Colone commercial.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
It's called Smells Like Her.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
There's a good chance that Colone commercial was probably you know,
film before all that.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
By the way, Johnny Depp, you know what he doesn't
get what a mouth washed commercial. That guy's teeth looks
like he's been chewing on mustard for six years or
grave Jesus like, find some flaws. Wow, tell you look
at his teeth.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Why are you hating on Johnny?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Look at his teeth?
Speaker 5 (34:38):
He was taking that Captain Sparrow, whatever it is, he
really became a pirate.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Every time he smiles, it looks like a first down marker.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Yeah, we say you were yacht rot rocking.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
You were yacht rocking like Johnny Depp and and uh
Pirates of the Caribbean. And you know what, sometimes it
gets a little slick, a little bit of moisture.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
I slipped on deck. Bam, there you go. Yeah went down.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I mean you can also blame some of the set
crew there at you know, Big Noon.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
You know, no no chance, no chance, jumped down off
the stage.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Honestly, the most believable one was Eddie's. That's the most
believable in my mind. Well, if you.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Want to take that route, that's fine, Jonas.
Speaker 7 (35:24):
I do appreciate the fact that you you care to
share your story with us.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I mean, I'm not really sure why.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
I don't think that did anything that assaulted by Flipper.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
I wanted you. I wanted you to know that I
had experienced in lying about injuries.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
So that's okay.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
You know something, it's just weird when you bring this
stuff up sometimes. Is that my resume? What do you
want from me? You want me to lie about the past, but.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
No one knew it was on your resume until you
literally just brought it up.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
So now you know, like, hey, I need to call
to action. I've got somebody that needs to figure this out.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
Why not just make it fun and funny and like
if somebody asked you make it a mom joke, right, like, well,
your mom rolled over on me. Oh thank Somebody's like, hey,
what happened?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Man?
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Like your mom rolled over on me? You know? Wow?
Good movie?
Speaker 6 (36:09):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (36:10):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
I think if that's if someone's getting shippy about it,
you know, I getell you.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
I mean I just feel like if you hit them
with a mom joke real quick. Everybody laughs.
Speaker 7 (36:18):
Now, oh moving, Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
I don't really mean it, you know what I mean?
But what's funny? I got it? I got it. Yeah,
there we go.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Well I do know this.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Uh here from the tirack dot Com studios. Coming up next,
we are going to tell you about it didn't mean
a real threat, an actual threat in the world was
your ball and it's yours Here on FSA usually.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
After that, we turn it over to our executive producer,
Lee Lapped.
Speaker 11 (37:39):
Good morning everybody, Good morning Jones, Good morning Brady, Good morning,
LeVar Morning guys, I don't know if you saw this,
but in case you missed it, a little rumor that
went out over the weekend. Jake Shapiro of Denver Radio
one O four point three the finn had started a
dialogue that uh Dean Sanders had told the band to
not play their fight song after a touchdown in order
to you play Shador's rap song perfect timing. Well, the
(38:03):
spokesman for Colorado did come out and sit and clarified
that when Shor Sanders scores, the band will wait a
moment for a small snippet of his song to be
played immediately before taking into Glory Glory. Colorado also that,
he says, this will also happen for their star kicker
Alejandro Mata, who also has a song of his own,
will get the similar treatment. But Dion has now come
(38:23):
out and levied threats over what he calls this idiotic
conversation and said, I have a huge platform. I could
get really personal if I wanted to, but choose not
to because it's not right.
Speaker 7 (38:36):
I guess I don't understand why this is the issue
that he wants to take up or get personal over,
or use his platform over. Well, is it that big
of a deal. So I mean that's like the truth
is somewhere in the middle. Like do they play it
after a touchdown? They do a short snippet, but and
then they play the fight song like it's not that
big of a deal.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
Do we need to make it that big of a deal?
Speaker 5 (38:58):
Nebraska plays it after they played Colorado in the locker room.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
Yeah, I saw that. I did see that. So everybody's playing.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
It's like everybody's playing you know, probably not the traditional
song that Nebraska plays in their locker room after games,
but you know what, they made it a point to
do it after they played against your door, so there.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
It's just it's just wild that when.
Speaker 7 (39:22):
They lose, the conversations are almost never about actual football,
like you go, like, for example, go listen like Marcus
Freeman talk about you know, the loss, why they lost, etcetera.
That they're not talking about all this other stuff.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
They're talking about football. For some reason.
Speaker 7 (39:39):
With Colorado, it seems like when they lose, it's about
everything other.
Speaker 4 (39:42):
Than football that we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
I don't know how long it's gonna think.
Speaker 5 (39:46):
This thing going bad quick, that's going to go bad
real quick.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
I'm just gonna say I don't know how long it's
gonna last, but I'm enjoying the hell out of it.
It's just so different, like we're talking about rap songs
after touchdowns and not a team that got tour up
by Nebraska days earlier. Your Buffalo's Bar

But I'm really all at once?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
No, no, oh, it's like my goodness. No uh.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
The most I did at once was fifteen fifteen on
the third set. Third set, I think the first one
I did ten, the second one I did twelve.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I went up, Did you do it at the combine?
I did?
Speaker 5 (02:01):
I did not do it at the combat I did
at my pro day, I did twenty and threw it
on the rack. Ooh okay, like literally like one two three, four, five,
eighty seven, eight nine to eleven, twelve, thirteen, forteen, fifty, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,
nineteen twenty.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Threw it on the rack like I never slowed down.
I didn't.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
I didn't want them to know what what you know,
where the end was. It could have been the next one,
It could have been the next ten. You know, who knows.
You weren't out on the rack.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
You weren't out to like, you know, beat Jay Cutler's
record from the year before or anything like that, Jay
Cully from.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
One of the NFL way before Ja Cutler.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, I'm saying because I've heard sure how he would
have known about Jay Cutler the quarterback, Yeah, when he
was there like a decade before, because I've heard stories
that like Jay Cutler's mark was something that somebody tried
to beat at the combine once, you know, because they
where they were gassed up by a certain member of
the combine crew.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
That was like speaking of Denver, speaking of interesting news,
I feel.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Like, uh, we've been cheating on you guys, know.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
That right, Whether you're not taking that bait, We've been
cheated on.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
By the NFL. We've been cheating on. Boy, the NFL.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yes, we have.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I wanted to see it. I am frustrated by what
is taking place.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
You want to hear Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Stealer Nation Less wailed do what.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Mike Tomlin does.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
The Stiller head coach Mike Tomlin spoke yesterday about the
decision at quarterback, which will be Justin Fields, not Russell
Wilson heading to Denver.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
You know, I just visited with him. He feels better
today than he did over the weekend, and so what
that means I don't know. As we sit here today,
I know that we're going to take the same approach
that we take with a lot of people in terms
of injury. We'll first start with his participation and his
level of participation, his quality of participation. Over the course
(03:50):
of the week, we'll be analyzing whether he's capable of
protecting himself, whether he's capable of being productive. You know,
when we get to those points, that's when we'll ponder
here inclusion or not, And when that happens will probably
be a component of that equation. But as I sit
here today, we're preparing as if Justin is going to
(04:10):
be our quarterback. I think that's the appropriate way to
do it. Speculation is a waste of time. Russell's heard,
he's not available to us, and so, as you guys know,
as a general practice, man, I focus my energy on
those that are available in their readiness. Just saw Justin
he just finished a good workout here today and excited
about maybe going through a complete week with him. In
(04:33):
terms of the preparation process.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I love Mike Tomlin. Like speculation would be a waste
of time.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
It would be yeah, And so it's going to be JF,
not RW in Denver taking on the Broncos here. And
it's to me, it's kind of wild to think that
if Justin Fields plays well enough, Russell Wilson's not going
to get his opportunity. Like Justin Fields can win this
job with good enough quarterback play, and Russell Wilson could
(05:03):
just be sitting there watching this whole time because of
a calf injury that we kind of dismissed, not entirely
just talked about as well. Listeners to calf issue. He'll
be back. You know, they're just taking precaution and here
we are still not an opportunity for him to suit
up yet and maybe not if Justin Fields plays well enough.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
You know they're being so vague about what the calf
injury is, you wonder if it's a lot more substantial.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Christian McCaffrey various reports.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Right, we weren't sure what his status was for week one,
we find out he's not going to play at all,
and then there is a port. I think I saw
that he was not going to play in week two.
He's with achilles tenonitis and he just doesn't feel like
he's back. And now he's a running back, that's going
to impact him more than anyone else. But if you're
a quarterback, that's still a big part of your game too.
(05:52):
And I know we're diagnosing it or calling it a
calf injury, but watching Russell Wilson warm up before the game,
it seemed a lot more significant than what they're leading on.
I mean, he really wasn't moving around very well at all.
I mean at all, even in like a dropback from
taking a shotgun snap. So I think there could be
(06:15):
a little bit of long runway here for Justin Fields
to prove that he could be the guy, or that
he has improved.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I mean, I think the.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Biggest thing for Justin Fields, it's almost not even how
well he plays because the bar has been set so
low in Pittsburgh over the last couple of years with
the offense. It more has to do with just whether
or not they win, and if they win, I don't
think Pittsburgh Steelers fans are going to care quite as much. Yes,
it'll be frustrating, it'll be a punch line and someone's joke.
(06:44):
But the truth is is, I think they'll be okay
if they're just winning and they're undefeated and they keep
moving forward with justin Fields. It's only going to come
down to switching him out if they start losing and
then you start looking at the quarterback play and saying, yeah,
he's not really lighting the world on fire.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Yeah, I would tend to agree. Obviously, both of them
came at a valued price tag, so there's no real
pressure to say, well, like a Daniel Jones situation, we
paid them, we gotta play them. Deshaun Watson situation, we
paid them, so we got to play them.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
That doesn't exist here.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
They put themselves in a position where they have two
quarterbacks that came in at the same exact time that
are former starting quarterbacks of another team. So to me,
I don't even really feel like it's a major discussion.
If Russell Wilson gets healthy and is able to show
(07:45):
what he can do, as Mike Thomlins said in his statements,
if he can show what he can do in practice,
and at this point, let's just say, at the point
of where he's able to do so, the Pittsburgh Steelers
are maybe winning but not very good on offense, or
(08:06):
they're losing, sure he'll get an opportunity. But if they're
winning in a way that they're satisfied with the way
they're winning. This wasn't for Russell Wilson to lose the job.
This was for Russell Wilson to win the job. When
Justin Fields came in, it wasn't for Justin Fields to
lose the job. It was for Justin Fields to win
(08:27):
the job. Not one of these quarterbacks was in a
position where they were actually stable enough to look at
it from the perspective of it's their job to lose.
Now he was named the starter. Now, I understand that,
but I don't think that that had any tremendous bearing
on on Tomlin and his coaching staff being married to
(08:51):
him being the starter. I think everyone knows that this
was a game by game basis situation and business or
you know, job interview, job audition for both of them.
So for Justin Fields, Justin Fields needs to be confident
in the sense that if he plays well, he's job
(09:12):
auditioning and could stabilize and take the job. He didn't
blow anybody away with the game that he had that
first game. It's not like we came away from the
first game like, yep, Justin Fields. You saw what Justin
Fields could do. He protected the ball, which was the
most important thing. He managed the game, which was probably
(09:34):
I don't know, maybe one A. Maybe that's one and
ball protection is one A or two, I don't know.
But he didn't do anything to hurt the team, and
they know that they're going to ride their defense to
be able to win games with either one of these
guys in there. So I just I don't look at
it as it being that big of a deal. If
(09:56):
Russ doesn't start, or if Russ does start, I really don't.
I just look at it as who's going to win
the job, because it's ultimately a job that's up for
grabs and has been up for grabs since Ben Roethlisberger's
decline as the franchise quarterback of that team.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Like, I looked at the game the other day and
I'm thinking, to Brady's point, look if he and to
your point as well too, if he protects the football
and it doesn't look the greatest, but they're winning games,
I just don't see Mike Tomlin yanking him out of
the lineup because, well, look it's like no like that,
you're winning games. He's not turning the ball over, which
(10:35):
was really Mike Tomlin's issue with Justin Fields in the preseason.
It wasn't so much his performance, it was the turnovers.
He had a couple of fumbles in a preseason game
and he said that was really what sort of soured
him on that performance in the game. If he just
protects the football and they're winning games, even if it's
ugly like this and Chris Boswell's got to kick six
field goals, like, Mike Tomlin's not going to make a switch.
(10:58):
And look, if you're the Chicago Bears, you're probably hoping
he doesn't because one of the conditions in that trade
was that sixth round pick turns into a fourth if
he placed fifty one percent of the snaps. So there
is that component to this as well too. I look
at Russell Wilson and I go and I don't know
who made the point yesterday, but this really is it
(11:19):
for him? Like this is it? Like Russell Wilson. If
this doesn't work in pitches it else where else is
he getting an opportunity? And I didn't see this fall
from grace for him after he left Seattle.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I just didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I thought the reason they moved on from Russ in
Seattle was the relationship with soured. Him and Pete Carroll
just weren't able to co exist anymore and they needed
to go their separate ways. And to see where he's
at now as opposed to where he was, you know,
his final couple of years with the Seahawks, I did
not anticipate kind of wild to think about. I did
(11:56):
you saw coming? I mean, but like you said, his
stats were, I just he was.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I'm just the MVP conversation one of those years, right.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
I just that year they said let rust cook, like
the year right before the.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
First six games. He was cooking though, and.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Then he got what was it, the mallet finger that
final year in Seattle.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, the dreaded Mallifinger had one of those
and that's where stinks.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
That's where he that's by the way, how's the ankle?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I don't know, man, I got imaging and stuff today.
I'm not I'm not very optimistic, all right.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
I just I don't want to have to have surgery,
Like I really, I've been through enough with those.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Man. I got four kids, I got a fifth coming, like.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
I've really I've realized when you have an injury at
this age, it is a huge setback to like your
entire family, like I, like when you get hurt as
a quarterback, like oh man, like I and I. You know,
I had a clean bill of health through college and
the NFL is a different story. It felt like every
single time I got an opportunity, I was getting injured.
(13:00):
But like as a father, as a husband, dude, would
you have an injury like this and you're like either
you know, on crutches or wheelchair written or something. It
is a huge liability to the rest of your family,
especially with the kids at the ages that they are.
So I just pray to God I do not have
to get surgery and this is just a really bad sprain.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Hell. I would even do like the tightrope surgery.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
You know what I'm saying. When they like bring.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Back, Yeah, when like Tua came back after like a
week and a half or something.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Dude, juice me up, whatever your need, give me the tightrope.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
I don't know what it is. I just need to
make sure that this does not carry on very very
much further the rest of this football season.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Bro, what does that mean for your buying and schedule
for big news?
Speaker 7 (13:45):
I carry on business as usual, not gonna be moving
as fast, but business as walking.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Boot on. Yeah, it's that in hell.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
You know, they told me that they're dead. They're like,
you know, we could get you one of those carts
in the airport. I said, nope, I want why because.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
It's an ankle.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Man. You understand, like my foundation works.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
With too many veterans who have lost you know, legs, limbs,
et cetera. So I see too much of like the
people who really need that assistance, the people who really,
like you know, are considered handicap and need help.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
I do not.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I do not fall into that.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
If you got to get surgery on your ankle and
you can't put pressure on your ankle, me back into play.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Coach, I'm ready to go get that tightrope bike chang.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
I'm gonna get that bike chair. I've got a couple
of bikes in that. I'll just take it to the orthopedics.
Speaker 9 (14:43):
Here, buddy, something if you take in a bike chain
and actual bike chain from one of the bikes you
got in your garage and have them put it in
your body, like I'll never respect you more than that.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Like that and what a move?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Yeah, you imagine that, man airport assistance.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
I'm I'm pretty sure that bike chain one time like
ripped off my bike, like I had a bit of
a biking accent once where it was. It was the
most disappointed chopper has ever been in me my entire life.
Like I used to go for these like it was
like a nine mile sprint and I used to go
up this bridge and I was like, you know, you're
grinding like you're going.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Up a hill.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
It's a pretty big bridge and I don't know how
but like I don't know if I hit something or
if the change just popped off, But like next thing
I know, I'm like tumbling over top of the bike,
scrape out my knees, scraping of my arm, and I'm
like at this point, there's another guy who was like
riding the other way and he like stopped. He's like, dude,
you okay? And I was like, yeah, I think so.
And my bike was like torn up from it. So
(15:40):
I had to walk about, I don't know, probably three
quarters of a mile back home.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
And I get back and my dad's looking at me
and he's just like, what happened to you?
Speaker 7 (15:47):
I was like, I full off my bike, was like hell,
that happened, and he just looks at me to disgusted.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
He takes his coffee and just walks away. He just
goes on your bike.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
I think he wanted to call me like a few
different words that I can't sit there, but I was
just I looked at him.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I'm like, no, no, chopper, I've meant to do this,
like I meant to do this.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Well, man, get that assistance. No, man with that ankle
is jacked up. No, put me in coach.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I'm ready to go.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Yeah, yeah, all right, especially if it's a long terminal.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Man. I tried that. I did a whole game. I
did Big New Big noon kickoffs. So you had gout though.
That's different.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Yeah, but it's not because if you didn't realize you
had it.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
If you hurt, you're hurt. Man. If you're down, you're down,
Sit your you're hurt, injury that you're hurt.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
And I well, all right, so you've got you've got
Madison this week.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
And then do you know schedule next week?
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Yes? I do.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
I can't reveal it yet, but things things will set
up well for me, at least in the short term.
We'll see what things look like in the long term.
But in the short term, like I said, tight, wrote
me up, coach, put me back in there.

Good call.
Speaker 2 (17:04):

thing of like what happened? Like, guy, everybody, amen, what happened?
Speaker 7 (17:14):
What's I'm like, Uh yeah, I wrote my ankle planing
soccer with my daughters. All right, that's how it all happened.
Like it's a terrible story I need to make. How
about this next segment? Can we all take our version
of what story I need to tell people of how
I actually injured it?
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I have one. Oh yeah, I've got one too perfect.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Only Eddie Garcia, for all the latest in the world
of sports.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
All right, Eddie, what would your story be? Man?
Speaker 8 (19:15):
Oh boy, I'm gonna say, uh, hit with a hockey pocket.
You're playing hockey.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I like that. You're a hockey guy. Yeah, my brother
in law.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I'll say I was well playing goaltender form.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
Or someth that's right, helping him out with his offseason workouts.
And yeah, he fired one hundred mile hours slapshot off tang.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Okay, that's a good one. That's actually a pretty believable too.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Isn't it. That's pretty believable, all right, very realistic. The
bars high guys. Now you guys have to try and
match up. We'll see how it goes.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, let's start with you some in the NFL.
Speaker 8 (19:43):
Whereas you were talking about pittsburghsuurorsad coach Mike Tomlin telling
reporters on Tuesday that they are planning to start justin
Fields at quarterback once again as they take on the
Broncos on Sunday. Dolphins already backed demon A Jane and
or he Mostered, both missing practice Tuesday. This is ahead
of their Thursday night game against Buffalo. So baseball games,
and note we had the Braves rolling over the Nationals
twelve to nothing.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Michael Harris a couple of homers.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
The Braves started four different pitchers or played four different
pictures in this one a bullpen game for them. They
combined on the three at shutout Atlanta back into a
tie with the Mets for the final wildcard spot in
the National League. With the Mets losing to the Blue
Jays six to two. You had the Yankees being shut
out by the Royals five nothing, Seth Lugos seven shoutout innings.
He gets his sixteenth win of the year. That's tied
for the major league leading victories. Kansas City remains three
(20:27):
in that back of Cleveland for the top spot in
the Ale Central, while in New York's lead a top
the Al East Back down to just a half game
on Baltimore with the Orioles beating the Red Sox five
to three. Cedric Mullens a couple of homers for Baltimore.
Tigers blank the Rockies eleven to nothing. Detroit starter Keiter
Montero complete game, shutout, nine innings, no runs three. It's
five strikeouts, no walks. Detroit still three back of Minnesota
(20:47):
for the final wildcard spot in the American League, with
the Twins beating the Angels ten to five. You have
the Phillies over the Rays nine to four. Philadelphias Kyle
Schwarber hit his fourteenth home run of the season from
the leadoff position. That's a new major League record for
a single seas and the Phillies now have the best
record in baseball at eighty seven and fifty eight, one
game up on the Dodgers, who lost to the Cubs
six to three. Padres over the Mariners seven three, San
(21:08):
Diego now four and a half back of LA and
the NL West racy have the Astros losing to the
A's four to three and twelve innings, Houston remaining four
and a half up on Seattle for the top spot
in the AL West, and the White Sox lose again
one hundred and thirteen losses. Now in the season, they
were shut up with the Guardians five nothing. They are
eight losses away from breaking the record for most losses
in a season. They've got sixteen games left to go.
(21:29):
Now back to Brady Quinnavar Arrington and Jonas Knox Attirerack
dot Com, Fox Sports Radio Studios.

All right, so let's uh, let's patch us together. We
need a legitimate reason as to why Brady suffered the injury.
That sounds better than rolling his ankle playing soccer with
his daughters.
Speaker 7 (22:47):
So yeah, which Eddie started off strong. So it's now
really up to you guys try.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
To top that. Well, I've got it.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I've got a history and making up an injury to
try and sound cooler.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I was in high school.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I was at zoom A seven, had a like a
boogie board or whatever they call those in front of me.
Not exactly the greatest swimmer in the world. Don't spend
a lot of time at the beach, as you can
tell by my complexion. I turned around, had the board
in front of me, and a wave knocked me on
my ass and dragged me across the rocks. So I
got up and my back was bleeding, and I didn't
(23:21):
want to admit that I just wasn't athletic enough to
get out of the way of a wave while everybody
else is out there surfing and body serving and all that.
So I told people that I was attacked by a dolphin.
They believed it.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Why a dolphin, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I have no idea. I still can't answer that. That
was just the first thing that came to my mind,
so much so that like a year later, two years later,
there was.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
A chance you got humped by a dolphin, I got.
I agree, I agree, and Flipper would have been all
over your back.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
But for some reason that story spread. That is true.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
For some reason that story spread, and like a couple
of years later, I had a guy. I was talking
to some guy at a party and he was saying, uh, oh,
you were the guy that got attacked by that dolphin
at Zoom.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
How the hell that happened?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I was like, wait, what, Like I'd almost forgotten about it,
so I went really over the top, but it still
was believable.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
You could go a lower bar and make it still believable.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Where's this even going.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I'm just letting you know.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
You did was tell a story about how you didn't
get attacked by a dolphin.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
But the point is you can go outside the box
on this. It doesn't have to be no.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I do have some ideas, okay, I mean, like, how
like you want all this right now?
Speaker 4 (24:43):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You were practicing gymnastics. Alicia was throwing you on the
balance beam. Whoa, and you fell off.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
You can go that route, or you can.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Say I was working on my dropbacks, my three five seven.
I dropped back on seven and didn't realize that they
were doing some repair work to the field that I
was on. There was a golfer hole there they didn't
patch up, and that's why I rolled my ankle.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Or hack squats. You you were warming up on hack squats,
and you.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Were because if you roll your ankle doing hack squats,
you're quite possibly the most unathletic person ever.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Okay, well, at least I've got options.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
That might be an option for you. That's not an
option for me. Damn, that's not even believe. That's like
your Flipper story. Okay, Like if you would walk out
of the water and told me that, I'd be like,
you're an idiot that you did not get attacked by
a dolphin.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Hey they believed it. YEAHLI say it with your chest.
Have some conviction.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
You used to be able to give Flipper and what
was a clipper at pool City for your as floaties
in your pool?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Really?
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Yeah, I forget their names. Flipper was one of them, though. Yeah,
there you go. That's your story.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Well, I'm just saying I'm throwing out ideas.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
I feel like mine is a little bit more simpler,
but it could be like hurtful for you to have
to say it. Qu That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
God, where's this going?
Speaker 5 (26:06):
I would say, when did you do this? You did
this on what's today, Wednesday? So it was Monday night
and Monday night. Yeah, I would say the fallout from
your Alma Maters loss had you jumping to so many
conclusions that you asked your ankle up by Tuesday and
(26:29):
now you have to go get your ankle looked at.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
See that's believable, man, like I jumped up and down
something that.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Happened, jumping to too many conclusions. Yeah, I had to
lead the lap drank way too much. You go woke
up that had no idea what happened.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
It was just the fallout from the game, and you
don't even remember what happened. And everybody is going to
be sympathetic to you, you know everybody.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Don't you think though, that that'll shine more of a
light on the game and what happened in the game, Like,
we got to leave that one in the past, We
got to focus Well you don't have to go into
the details of it, but just like the.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Game and the injury from the game, there was an
injury to another Golden domer from the fallout of the game.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Yeah, see, yeah, I see what I'm saying. That's what happened.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
I mean, it's more, it's more plausible, it's more believable
than whatever the hell Jonas just tried to say.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Okay, well, I mean I'm squats all right, well gymnastic, Okay,
I mean hit hit by.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
A golf ball, I mean like an ankle. Yeah, I'm trying.
You know, it was sad As, Jonas, you couldn't even bring.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
In the meat wagon. That's part of the story, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Do you want to go on to a co star.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Maybe the meat wagon undercut me or try to take
my leg out instead.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Well, it was just a friendly horse play, you know,
kind of wrestling match.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I moch pitt it this weekend, Did you really? Yes?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
It was the fun I told you guys. We turned
on the music that the Steelers play sticks red.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Yeah, we started.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
We started knocking each other around in the suite. We
was breaking ass up. Was this it was after the game?
Speaker 4 (28:14):
It was after the game.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
I still got a scratch on my arm. Scrap, big
ass scrape. I guess Dophin somebody blinding up. But but
maybe his name was Flipper because he hit me with
his forearm. I got blindsided. I still don't even know
who it is that did it. It took somebody down
and was standing over a point now. Somebody blindsided me
(28:38):
into a cabinet. I scraped my armor. Like at least
three of us was bleeding at the end of it.
But it was such an energy release. I felt so good.
I think we all felt so good after. I don't
even know how it happened.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Like we we do karaoke in.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
In this in this place, like this is where I
always go every single game, and we do karaoke like
that's it's so fun. Like we drink and we do
karaoke and we watch the games, like four or five
TVs in this suite. For some reason, everybody was like
on like this frisky kick, you know, and the dude
(29:15):
turned that song on. It was like we were like
apes up in there, man, Like all that was missing
was like us doing the like ape sounds. But everybody
started like jumping around. Next thing, you know, you see
two dudes like pushing each other. That two more dudes
is pushing each other than that. I don't know what
happened after, but there was liquor involved. No, yes, there
(29:40):
were pool pork sandwiches involved. I think somebody caught a
peanut butter and they were really good. A peanut butter
cookie that that was a peanut butter cookie was involved.
There was a lot of.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Things. It was yeah, yeah, I'm not even gonna keep going.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Well, I mean, do you have any but.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
You could say you hurt yourself horse playing?
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Though?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah you got any ideas?
Speaker 11 (30:06):
Yeah, Lee, you got I was going kind of a
marrying of two of your things here, one with golf
and another with wild animal. I thought maybe like Captain
Hook situation, a gator had chased you down and uh
you had to drop kick that fool hook situation.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, because now you're not in Florida anymore, so it
had to follow you all the way.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
Uh what elaborate You've got time lee elaborate this story.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Yeah, because there's an alligator that's always time down Captain Hook.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 11 (30:35):
It's so he's going after Captain Hook no matter where
he goes, and he's, uh, he's upset that you left him.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
So he chased you all the way down.
Speaker 11 (30:41):
You got almost sprung up on you, but you had
to drop kick him, and then you got to finish
off the story with you had to sink you know,
he was going after your ball. But you sold that
twenty foot that twenty foot eagle drop kick an alligator.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
Yeah, you got a two le drop kick like the
old Chuck Norris type or what would have.
Speaker 11 (30:57):
Got Well, yeah, he would have been jumping up at
you if you had to drop kick them.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
But uh, yeah we're standing up here. Yeah, I mean,
or you just you know, how is your story not
involved booze. Well, if you're golfing, you're always boozing.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
That's a good point. Can't golf without boot You could
also incorporate your daughter. Say you were doing jiu jitsu
with them and their leg lock game was elite and
you were unaware, and so that way to compliment to them,
and you can kind of incorporate the whole family.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
There.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Probably sounds a little better than a soccer injury.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Does it?
Speaker 7 (31:30):
Does it sound better with my daughter submitted me and
putting me in a you some sort of submission.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I mean she seems like a bad a leg lock.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
I don't know about that. I mean she's a sweetheart.
Back to back to Lee's story.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Yeah, do you want you have more of in your
golf bag?
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Balls or booze? Mm?
Speaker 11 (31:51):
Depends on the that's a good question. Actually, I have
a lot of balls in my bag.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Was that because once you start drinking the booze you
lose a lot of ball?
Speaker 4 (32:01):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 11 (32:02):
Yeah, because it gets kind of they both deplete throughout
the day.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (32:07):
What and when you get when you hit the turn,
you get, make it another sleeve, make it another TALLI
or too sleep.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Leave it alone.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Golf terms.
Speaker 7 (32:18):
Listen, yeah, Lee, thank you for your contribution to the conversation.
Though absolutely I do appreciate the best part of some
clearing his throat before it came on air, it was still.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
On it.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Forgot the cough button. All right, Well, listen, I don't
know if that.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
If anybody else has got some ideas, feel fee to
throw them out there.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
But you know, who knows.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Maybe we'll get the imaging done and maybe you'll make
a miraculous recovery by this weekend.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
Maybe you were getting out a bit for your morning ritual,
the dog got in the way, You did an athletic
move to get out of the way. Bam, something happened.
Blame it on the dog. You know I could do that.
I mean, if you have a high.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
She's on her last leg. I'm not I'm not sure
I'm gonna blame throw dog.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
No, no, she's But that's even more that makes the
story even more relevant. Way what, I didn't want to
step on the dog. That dog.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
When I was icing it, she came in like immediately
when I got home, I assume you were and all that.
She came down, laid right down next to me. I
was like, so I was like, there's no way I
could ever ever put it.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
On my dog.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Chance, he definitely. And one he didn't blame the dog.
He blamed that what the dog did. That's correct. Yeah,
but but still it got the It got the job done.
That was the one of the lone shining moments of
that that trial.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
It did.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
I'm just saying, I don't think it's throwing the dog
under one shining Yes, give that dog, Give your dog
one more moment, make her a part of your story.
You didn't want to step on your beloved dog, and
you made an athletic move to get out of the way.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yeah, maybe you'll get a Colone commercial out of it.
Death guy, there you go right afterwards, got a Colone commercial.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
It's called Smells Like Her.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
There's a good chance that Colone commercial was probably you know,
film before all that.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
By the way, Johnny Depp, you know what he doesn't
get what a mouth washed commercial. That guy's teeth looks
like he's been chewing on mustard for six years or
grave Jesus like, find some flaws. Wow, tell you look
at his teeth.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Why are you hating on Johnny?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Look at his teeth?
Speaker 5 (34:38):
He was taking that Captain Sparrow, whatever it is, he
really became a pirate.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Every time he smiles, it looks like a first down marker.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Yeah, we say you were yacht rot rocking.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
You were yacht rocking like Johnny Depp and and uh
Pirates of the Caribbean. And you know what, sometimes it
gets a little slick, a little bit of moisture.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
I slipped on deck. Bam, there you go. Yeah went down.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I mean you can also blame some of the set
crew there at you know, Big Noon.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
You know, no no chance, no chance, jumped down off
the stage.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Honestly, the most believable one was Eddie's. That's the most
believable in my mind. Well, if you.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Want to take that route, that's fine, Jonas.
Speaker 7 (35:24):
I do appreciate the fact that you you care to
share your story with us.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I mean, I'm not really sure why.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
I don't think that did anything that assaulted by Flipper.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
I wanted you. I wanted you to know that I
had experienced in lying about injuries.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
So that's okay.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
You know something, it's just weird when you bring this
stuff up sometimes. Is that my resume? What do you
want from me? You want me to lie about the past, but.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
No one knew it was on your resume until you
literally just brought it up.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
So now you know, like, hey, I need to call
to action. I've got somebody that needs to figure this out.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
Why not just make it fun and funny and like
if somebody asked you make it a mom joke, right, like, well,
your mom rolled over on me. Oh thank Somebody's like, hey,
what happened?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Man?
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Like your mom rolled over on me? You know? Wow?
Good movie?
Speaker 6 (36:09):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (36:10):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
I think if that's if someone's getting shippy about it,
you know, I getell you.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
I mean I just feel like if you hit them
with a mom joke real quick. Everybody laughs.
Speaker 7 (36:18):
Now, oh moving, Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
I don't really mean it, you know what I mean?
But what's funny? I got it? I got it. Yeah,
there we go.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Well I do know this.
Speaker 1 (36:28):

After that, we turn it over to our executive producer,
Lee Lapped.
Speaker 11 (37:39):
Good morning everybody, Good morning Jones, Good morning Brady, Good morning,
LeVar Morning guys, I don't know if you saw this,
but in case you missed it, a little rumor that
went out over the weekend. Jake Shapiro of Denver Radio
one O four point three the finn had started a
dialogue that uh Dean Sanders had told the band to
not play their fight song after a touchdown in order
to you play Shador's rap song perfect timing. Well, the
(38:03):
spokesman for Colorado did come out and sit and clarified
that when Shor Sanders scores, the band will wait a
moment for a small snippet of his song to be
played immediately before taking into Glory Glory. Colorado also that,
he says, this will also happen for their star kicker
Alejandro Mata, who also has a song of his own,
will get the similar treatment. But Dion has now come
(38:23):
out and levied threats over what he calls this idiotic
conversation and said, I have a huge platform. I could
get really personal if I wanted to, but choose not
to because it's not right.
Speaker 7 (38:36):
I guess I don't understand why this is the issue
that he wants to take up or get personal over,
or use his platform over. Well, is it that big
of a deal. So I mean that's like the truth
is somewhere in the middle. Like do they play it
after a touchdown? They do a short snippet, but and
then they play the fight song like it's not that
big of a deal.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
Do we need to make it that big of a deal?
Speaker 5 (38:58):
Nebraska plays it after they played Colorado in the locker room.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
Yeah, I saw that. I did see that. So everybody's playing.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
It's like everybody's playing you know, probably not the traditional
song that Nebraska plays in their locker room after games,
but you know what, they made it a point to
do it after they played against your door, so there.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
It's just it's just wild that when.
Speaker 7 (39:22):
They lose, the conversations are almost never about actual football,
like you go, like, for example, go listen like Marcus
Freeman talk about you know, the loss, why they lost, etcetera.
That they're not talking about all this other stuff.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
They're talking about football. For some reason.
Speaker 7 (39:39):
With Colorado, it seems like when they lose, it's about
everything other.
Speaker 4 (39:42):
Than football that we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
I don't know how long it's gonna think.
Speaker 5 (39:46):
This thing going bad quick, that's going to go bad
real quick.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
I'm just gonna say I don't know how long it's
gonna last, but I'm enjoying the hell out of it.
It's just so different, like we're talking about rap songs
after touchdowns and not a team that got tour up
by Nebraska days earlier. Your Buffalo's Bar
