Speaker 1 (01:14):
Here you go. You love this one? Well, you know,
if Q was on the show today, be like, oh,
jonah h, you just really love running this one. I mean,
you just really love running this one. John.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I mean, do you know how many times I've had
to sit here and sit through some conference realignment nil
conversation that I don't give a rip about on this show.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I mean it's funny because I do you be having
topics he don't like to talk about, and he'd be
having topics you don't like to talk about. Funny seeing
it play out on radios, I think it makes the
radio better per personally. But I will I just figured
in his absence, I figured I'd just run it the
way he would like. Jonas like, jeez, nobody really cares
(02:01):
about I have one hundred different topics that are better
than this one that you're about to talk about.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Hold on, hold hold hold hold hold, hold hold on,
hold hold on. How about the fact that I sent Lee.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
A hundred different, one hundred different stories and this is
the story you want to settle Lane, Well, we do,
go ahead, Jonas, I guess you want to.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Talk about squatty potties.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Next too, well, listen, by the way, that is, and.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Lee talks about the ones that light up at night.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Hey, hey, you want to you want to know something.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Brady's getting his come up and next time he's on
this show because I told him, and I either may
have bought him a squatty potty or he bought it
himself because of a recommendation for me. And he filmed
him and his daughter throwing it away because he disliked
it so much.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And here we are they you know, because if you
sent me that might be what I send you.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah, I know, but but he filmed that and was
has just made fun of me ever since then because
of it. And now we just heard a squatty potty
commercial during the show, during one of the breaks. So
I was ahead of my time, man, I.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Mean, hey, bro were coming up. Man, That's all I'm
gonna tell you.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
They know their audience.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I mean, god Lee commercials now, by the way, he
throw one of those in the bathroom. I'm talking about
busting caps and people's asses. We got squatty potties, we
got blue shoes. This is a man's man show. Damn right.
If you didn't know, I mean, ladies, I hope you're listening,
because this is like what masculinity is supposed to sound like,
(03:42):
you know, outside of Jonas you know.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
And Lee by the way, me and Lorena, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
All right, So Bill Belichick, so there was apparently Belichick
met with North Carolina for five hours over the weekend.
Right right now, I haven't spent five hours with my wife,
let alone talking to the team about a job. And
so Belichick spent five hours talking with North Carolina to
(04:18):
try and see whether or not the fit works and whatnot.
I think the assumption is, well, you know, he's just
kind of getting his name out there. Maybe a job
will be opening up, who knows. I mean, depending on
how this whole fiasco works in Philadelphia, maybe it'll open
up there. But nonetheless, Belichick was on the Let's Go
podcast talking with Jim Gray not only about the North
(04:39):
Carolina interest or potential interest, but also about a potential
return to the NFL.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
I think it's a process of just understanding, you know,
what the mutual goals, expectations, and resources are to find
out whether it's a fit and in the process, and
who's to say I goes But this is.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
Not to say that pro football does not still hold
tremendous appeal to you. Yeah, Jim, I may.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
I'm open to you know, a number of thoughts. I've
had an interesting year this year working to in somewhat
of an analytical and media role. Football at any of
the college or a professional level does interest me, and
I would explore those opportunities as well and ultimately see what,
you know, what everybody has to offer and what would
be the best fit for me and and potentially another
(05:24):
organization or it could be in the media. I have
an open mind and have a I think the college
game is closer to the program game that it's ever
been with the new kind of landscape in college football.
So you know, I've explored it and we'll see see
how it works out.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
I think it's widely assumed that you'd like to win
another Super Bowl, and I think it's widely assumed that
you'd like to break down Scheles's record. Is that and
are those two things in the forefront of your mind?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yeah, Jim, I don't have any set goals.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
I'm open to different opportunities going forward, and it's the
value I know as they come.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
So sounds like someone who is posturing in a very
very strategic way.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Doesn't he already sound like he's in coach mode?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Again? He does like he not, but not all the way.
It doesn't sound like he's all the way.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
But when you when you've heard him talk on the
Manning Cast or the Pat McAfee show starring AJ Hawk,
you've heard him on Inside the NFL, you know he's,
you know, an analytical just kind of get that right there.
Sounded like Belichick at the podium in New England more
so than I've heard in this entire offseason. He's already
getting into coaching mode. Already getting into coaching mode.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
You know what it sounds like to me?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
What's that? It sounds as though he is basically letting
people know that, Hey, I yeah, I certainly would come
out of of where I'm at right now and coach
just as long as a you let me do everything
(06:58):
I want to do. That That's what five hours would
consist of. Imagine the amount of structure and information that
Bill Belichick has in terms of what he would want
coming in. Do you have the resources to be able
to support what it is that he laid out to
you in detailed? I mean, he probably has a very
(07:22):
intimidating one of the most impressive ways of interviewing for
a job, because what he's going to show you is
probably like he's opening up a treasure chest and in
that treasure chest like it glows like the gold and
everything like that, and it's just the information that that
(07:43):
man has. And you can only imagine, I mean, the
amount of talent that has come through both coaching and
players and front office people that have come from the
Bill Belichick tree.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Can't even imagine what that.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Would look like, what that five hours look like with him,
And probably a lot of it came across this chumming
it up, but I can guarantee you he laid out
and detailed what it is that it would take for
him to actually come and coach at your for your team.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
And what's crazy is.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
There's there's probably there's probably an NFL team that is
to the point now where they would actually consider and
entertain Bill Belichick coming in and getting exactly every single
thing that he would want detailed in order to come
(08:43):
there and coach their team.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Well, one of the other I saw this story that
came out from Pro Football Talk that reported that Belichick
i guess is surprised that no NFL teams that have
openings have reached out to him about any interest next year,
and those teams would be the Jets, the Saints, the Bears.
The Jets would make some sense. He's not going back
to the Jets, all right, that didn't work out the
first time.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
He's been critical of the owner. Not going to happen.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
The Saints, I think Darren Rizzy's going to get the
job there. I think they like what he's doing. The Bears,
that doesn't make any sense to me. If you were
to say, what is Belichick's specialty attention to details and discipline.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Feels like that would be a team that could probably
use a little bit of that at this point this year. Like,
why would you not have already reached out to him
to gauge his interest or have a conversation. I know
it's in the season, but you can do that quietly
and privately and not have anybody find out about it,
and at least have a discussion with him. Hey, this
is what we're thinking, This is what the structure would
(09:44):
be like. Is this of interest? Would you like to
have a formal interview in the next few weeks after
we make a decision long term, and based on what
we saw in San Francisco for Thomas Brown, he's probably
just the interim and not going to get the job
full time out after that. I just why would you
not reach out to him? He's the greatest of all time?
Speaker 4 (10:07):
To do him?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Unless to do it, unless there really is just this
feeling no, it was all Tom Brady and Belichick had
nothing to do with it.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
That could be my only thought, you.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Know, I just.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I just look at Bill Belichick, and I say to myself,
at his age and his level of accomplishment, why would
you deal with any buffoonery? Why would you walk yourself
into a scenario unless you're a drama drama king, right,
and you're okay with being in a scenario where there's
(10:45):
like this type of confusion or you know, disruptive type
of things that are going on, dysfunctional type of things.
I had already told y'all a hundred times over. I
don't care if your build, Belichick, if you walk into dysfunction,
you're not going to be a good enough coach to
out out coach and outperform the dysfunction. So at his age,
(11:10):
why why would he want to step into a situation
like that.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I don't think Chicago because that they fit the bill
of just complete dysfunction, and you know, if they're not
even entertaining the idea of having a conversation with Jim
Harbaugh last year, I can't imagine Belichick pops up on
the radar. But I do think, and Albert Breers reported
this before, if the Eagles job opens up, I think
he's got a good relationship with Howie Roseman the GM
(11:40):
and that's a ready made roster. Why would you not enter.
I think he absolutely would take that job. And I
think he would take the Giants job for sentimental reasons
because of how much he loves the owner ownership there
and how fond he is of his time with the Giants.
But that also I don't know Man and he can say,
(12:01):
you know, kind of dismiss the thought of the Don
Shula record and all that. I believe that that's part
of the appeal that he wants to break Don Shula's record,
allegedly him and Don Sula. He's not a big fan
of Don Shula's, or wasn't a big fan of Don
Shula because Don Shulda was critical about the flate gate
and the spygate and all that stuff when it came
(12:22):
to his wins. I think he would love to do that.
I just him at the college game. It's interesting, But
if it is about the all time wins record, I
just don't see it happening. I think he goes back
to the NFL this season.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
I just think that the level of.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Difficulty it would be for Bill Belichick to be in
a situation where people can dictate to him. Either either
we're looking at a situation in a scenario where we
a say, you know what, an old dog can learn
new tricks, and so looking at what Bill Belichick has
(13:04):
going on, you.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Actually believe that he can approach.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
This and say, you know what, Hey, I'm just going
to coach like you guys, do everything you need to
do over here. But my whole thing is Jonas. If
we're seeing reports that it was a five hour a
five hour meeting with Bill Belichick, I would have a
hard time believing that you just spent five hours like
(13:30):
yucking it up, Like.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Oh hey you're Bill, You're sharing war stories. Oh my gosh,
tell me.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Another story about Tom Oh, tell me about Super Bowl
number three?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Number four, number five and it took five hours to
do that.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Now, just don't feel as though that would be Bill Belichick,
unless maybe he saw what took place this past go
around when he went to Atlanta and felt as though,
maybe just maybe he doesn't need to be so much
Bill Belichick until he gets the gig.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
But if that's what, if that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Do you really want to brown nose or or you know,
kind of deceptively get the job. If you're Bill Belichick,
why play that game at his age?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
What does that mean?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Brown nose?
Speaker 4 (14:19):
What does that mean?
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Nose in the button? Oh damn, did I get dump?
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Is that dumb worthy rana?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Anyway? That's I mean that you sniffing, you know what
I mean? And that that's you know, I don't know
why that's an endearing term in terms of sucking up
to someone, but that's what it is. Anyway. I had
that here, Hey Jonas, I don't need to do that.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
I have that every day.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
What stop it up? What do you mean brown nosing?
I just don't think that Bill Belichick, with his resume
and all of the good things, It's not like he's
sitting at home twiddling his thumbs and doing like pogo
sticking with his girlfriend and stuff like that and double dutch,
(15:15):
you know, jump roping. I mean, he's busy, you know,
he's working, he's showing people his personality. Maybe he's even
showing himself his personality. Maybe he's had some illuminating experiences.
But my whole thing is, you gotta be careful sometimes
the things that make you great when you're forced to
(15:36):
have to adapt into adjust sometimes that just doesn't lead
to the type of results that you've gotten in the past.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
And he's got to be.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Mindful of the fact that, you know, there's a reason
why old head coaches are, you know, rapidly dropping off
and one of his most famous counterparts and Nick Saban,
they don't like just it might make more sense to
just stay in media, just be your coach, coach up
(16:06):
and criticize other teams.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
They're both fantastic.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
And they're good.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
They're good, and who's going to say they're wrong? What
analyst is going to come back and be like, yeah, Bill,
that's uh what I like. Could you imagine him and
Q doing the show like no, no, no, no, no, what.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
Whole whole whole, whole, whole hole whole up coach, whole
up coach like you have me anyway, I just I
don't I don't see I don't see it making a
ton of sense for Bill Belichick to take on another
coaching project, which of what it would be a project
to rebuild if he gets the opportunity, if if he
(16:46):
doesn't have the resources and has the control, that he
would want to take the job.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
I just don't see that. I don't see that making sense.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I do have a question, Lee, can you look this
up real quick if you don't mind, could you look
uh Lvar mentioned this and I don't even know if
these are still in existence? Pogo sticks? Are those still
in existence? Because let me tell you something.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
She really yeah, Oh there's like extreme pogo stick competitions still.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Oh yeah, you gotta be.
Speaker 9 (17:17):
Strong to you gotta wear a helmet and like they
jump off and let me tell you something. You better
you better be sober if you're a guy on one
of those, because dang thing you know, oh well, you know, fate,
Fate will step in and you'll start blending in.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
With They call that stick the sticks valance stick on stick, valance,
don't get stopped.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
How much is a pogo stick, like, oh no, but
the rip pogo stick. My car was seventy five.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Though. Yeah, they got some good ones out there. Now,
don't get a twisted that pogo stick. You could go
over a fence, well you can. You can pop up
like one of them kangaroo, one of them extreme pogo
you go over.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
How high can you go on? There's got to be
a limitation.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Right, My daughters doesn't go very high?
Speaker 4 (18:09):
About ten feet?
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Can you that high?
Speaker 9 (18:12):
It's capable of going ten feet?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Dang, that's high man.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
You could you could pogo stick over Wemby.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
You could pogo stick to the top of the rim
of a basketball room.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Hey, bro, I'm looking at this joint. It's one eighty five.
Oh their their shoes, their pogo shoes, their boots like
them blades.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Damn they made pogo shoes.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Dang.
Speaker 3 (18:46):

off next from the tire rack dot Com Studios. We're
going to talk about just the true grit of a
guy who's going to the Hall of fame, true grit.

he deserves on this show. We'll get to the bottom
of that next year. On FSR.

LaVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you here, come it up.

less than twenty minutes from now from the tire rack

Speaker 4 (19:48):
On FSR.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
What about this var We've played a couple of classic
Christmas songs back to back. Holy Jolly Christmas.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I mean, is it the same person seeing in both?
Speaker 6 (20:01):
No?
Speaker 4 (20:01):
I think this is uh, who is this?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
This is?
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Burl Ives?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Never heard of them?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Yeah, I guess I heard of them.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
And of them.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Guy from like all the Santa movies from back in
the day. Though, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
And the other guy the voice, I have to be
Crosby or what who was that that's saying the last time?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
I'm so glad we brought this up, all right. So
you know, we have the leg lamp from the Christmas
Story in the medideo here. Yeah, so if anybody's you know,
the small person one, if anybody's seeing any of the
footage of this later on that hits social media, you'll
notice why the lighting's a little off in the studio
because we got just leg lamp lighting here in the
studio from A Christmas Story.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
But I figured this out.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Watching orange orange ness on the left side of your face. Yeah, okay, yeah,
I can see that.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
By the way, it's this is actually the most light
I've gotten in years.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
I know.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
When it's a vampire thing, you know, you got to
stay away from the light. Bruh. So I figured this out.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
If you watch the movie A Christmas Story, this is
gonna blow people's minds. If you watch the movie A
Christmas Story, you know, the guy who narrates the movie,
like who walks you through the whole thing, and it's basically,
you know, uh, it's the old version.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
It's the grown up version of Ralphie.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Of Ralphie, the actual guy who narrates the movie is
actually in the movie and plays a role. His role
is he is at the mall when Ralphie's taking too
long to go up to talk to Santa, and he's
telling Ralphie, kid, you gotta hurry up. And I watched
(21:35):
it and recognized the voice, and I told my wife,
I was like, I think that's the guy.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
So no, I think that's him.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
And I looked it up and it's him.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
So that guy.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I remember foodge. I remember when I was watching the
First Friday movie with ice Cube and Chris Tucker, same thing,
and the girlfriend was on the bit talking to Craig
ice Cube about who he was cheating on her with
and why you cheating and the whole time, if you
(22:06):
look in the background, there's a dude laying on her
bed sleep. Blew my mind. First time I figured it out.
And I know I did this a long time ago,
but you know, I just figured out to add that
to the conversation.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
I know it.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Know you hurry up, kid, hurry up. We ain't got
all day everybody's waiting in line, you know. But then
you know she's sitting there.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
She's like, so, who was it?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And and if you look at her and you look closely,
dude is laying right behind her.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
I hate with that, don't you face time?
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Jack that all up? Who is that in the background?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
You got that blurry background? Now, Like, what's going on there? Nothing?
I'm at the office.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Uh leah, What do you have on Jeane Shepherd the narrator?
Speaker 9 (22:53):
What I'm reading up on him Jeane Shepherd is that
the Christmas Story is actually based on a collection of
his short stories that he wrote, So him being a
narrator is kind of a fun way to keep him
in it. And he's also posthumously inducted into the Radio Hall.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Of Fame, No kidding, there you go. So he's one
of us.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, get inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. That's
what I'm going for. Yeah, yeah, I want it. I mean,
I'm gonna do this until they, you know, until you
got to deliver my eulogy. Bro, they careful, Ralphie, you
don't shoot dry out there'd be Ah, I'm not going
(23:31):
to deliver your eulogy.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
I refuse to do that.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
I don't know why I don't want to do it. Well,
it's too hard.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
One thing I could tell you about LeVar he.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Was black dog.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah, let's just be like, you know, hell yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
I don't know how that would go over with my
crowd people that would be there.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I'll be like, you know, of all the black people
I know, LaVar is one of.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Them, Mondvo and that's trying to Maine being the other
two up.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
All right, So so let's let's have a conversation about
somebody that deserves a little bit of respect.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Here on this show. Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
This is one of them Brady moments.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
This is somebody that has been disrespected time and time
again on this show. And it's going to be stopped
right here now. Jay Laser, Fox, your guy, the guy
that you do the Draft Show with you, Jay Laser,
Rob Stone and company, you guys do the Draft Show together.
But Jay Laser apparently he revealed on Fox that Aaron
(24:53):
Rodgers is really going through it this year.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Let's take his teammates want him to finish the season.
Speaker 10 (24:58):
Aaron Rodgers with no what he knows is how many
injuries he's been dealing with this whole season has been
a grade two hamstring string, which is really a terror
an MCL sprain, a high ankle sprain, and he's been
fighting through a lot of that and it raised them
up a lot in the odds of his teammates.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
All right, Labar, So you gonna I'll just let you
apologize now or you wanna you want to do that,
you know at some point later.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
I mean, what is it being used for?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
What?
Speaker 5 (25:22):
What?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
What? What's Jay reporting it for? Like is like, look
at the list of injuries that other guys have. I mean, like, like,
whoa hold on, now, you mean that Aaron Rodgers is
playing hurt? Wait you mean that he has an ailment
(25:45):
of the hamstring and wait, wait he has a slight
tear here? Oh he's got a slight tear in his finger.
Oh wait, you mean that is his ankle has a
slight tear, it's sprayed. Like you mean that he's got
turf toe? Like what I mean inserts blank name in
blank like okay. But the point is the problem here
(26:09):
is is that you're an old ass man with that
list of ailments. That's the problem. So if you want
to really qualify it, most guys are dealing with pain
right now. During the course of the season, there is
not one person that is playing active football in the
National Football League that is not dealing with some type
(26:30):
of ache and pain and ailment that goes along from
playing this game. Whether it's just running routes, whether it's
the ball hit you, you know, the wrong way, whether
you you know, jacked up your fingers, grabbing you know,
a grown ass man, whatever it is, you're dealing with
aches and pains. So nobody gets a pad on the back,
(26:53):
you know, when you get acknowledged for you know, aches
and pains, Jonas, when you don't deal with them, like,
oh he's on ir he's not playing this week, da
da die?
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Like in basketball load management stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Like that, like you only get you only get the
attention on injuries generally when they're impacting your participation. So
the fact that Aaron Rodgers is continuing to play and
push through the pain, join the club, bro, Like, you're
not getting no pats on the back on this segment
from me, Like that's it is what it is, Like Jay,
(27:29):
that's my dude, and it came from Jay.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Is that military business that he was able you know
a secret that was, you know, released by him to
give to us. To know that Aaron Rodgers is dealing
with these aches and pains. Great, But I mean, I
wouldn't be surprised if I didn't get that report from
Jay Glazer that Aaron Rodgers is dealing with aches and pains.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
This is part of it.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
And this is what I've been thinking about, is when
I saw this story come out, it just sized what
I think a lot of people have said about Rogers.
But I don't look at it as a sinister thing
as much as everybody else does, because a lot of
people that think, well, Aaron Rodgers is only about Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
You know, this is all about him. It's all about
what he's got going on.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
It's all about and you know, he's got this Netflix
documentary which is coming out either soon or is already
out whatever it is called Enigma and all that, and yeah,
there is an element to Yeah, it is about Rogers.
But I looked at it as going into this season,
I think he had two goals and I think they
were equally as important. And if this makes him a
(28:37):
bad guy, then it makes him a bad guy. But
I look at it like this two goals to win
a Super Bowl and also to get through the season
completely healthy.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
I think that was just as important to.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Him, and I think he saw his own mortality flash
in front of his eyes when he went down with
the injury. It was taken away from him and he realized, Man,
I'm at the age now to where if you watch
him play, he doesn't look anywhere close to the same
player everybody. Everybody can see that, like you can see
that he's an aging quarterback and is not aged well.
(29:09):
Tom Brady looked better in his final years than Rogers
has by a mile. But I think Rogers looked at
it and said, my other.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Goal is Tom Brady started looking bad.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
All started down, Yeah, I mean like the last year,
but it.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Wasn't midflight died but it wasn't.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
It wasn't like a Peyton man like Peyton Manning's ball.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
This ball started down.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Oh yeah, like his ball was a pigeon that got shot.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
It was going up, though his was going up. Brady's
was just dropping down. But I was so was Cams.
Cams ball started dying off too.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Do you do you have an issue with Rogers maybe
accepting all right, we're not we're not winning a Super Bowl.
But my other goal, as big as that is, I
want to play every single game this year. I want
to prove it to myself. I want to prove it
to everybody, just like he was trying to cut to
approve it to everybody. You could play every game because
y'll get if y'all losing. Because I think the narrative
(30:06):
on him and his path to recovery and his strategy
last year trying to make a return coming off the
Achilles injury, I think the narrative on the outside was, Oh,
he thinks he knows more than everybody else. He thinks
he can do more than No. No, no, you're aging,
you're this, you're that, There's no way. I think he
desperately wants to play every single game, and I think
(30:26):
that'll be what he points to his success this year.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I think what he needs to do is go boys,
last Boy Scout on him and hit him with the
best offense.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Being a big defense.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
That's lost boss boys. But I'm talking about uh, you
know last Boy Scout. You know where he was running
down the field and he was handking instead of like
pulling out a cannon. That's going to take their lives.
Use less lethal round you know what I mean, like
kinetic rounds. Don't play around with your safety, your personal safety.
And and listen, if you got family safety as a priority,
(31:00):
make it yours, you know what, And get a burner
that's right, less lethal pistol launcher. Get ten percent off
of Berner that's b why or na dot com slash LeVar.
You know, if he if he goes out there with
one of them Berner dips and and every time somebody
about hitting me, bust a cap in their ass, He's
gonna be all right.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
I gotta get me a burner.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I'm telling you, man, them bad boys is the real deal. Man,
I'm telling you I'm so you said you saw the video.
I'm a post one of them at some point. I'm
crazy accurate with them little pellet dips get you yeah,
but I'm over Aaron Rodgers is basically why I went
to burn up. You know, at the end of the day, Aaron,
(31:42):
you old, but you still playing. Play, Play for what
you want to play for, Play how you want to play,
do what you want because that's what you've always done anyway.
So just be true to yourself. Isn't that it to
my own self be true? Who said that? I don't
know who says that. Somebody that of note said to
thy own self be true. And that's what Aaron Rodgers
(32:03):
should do, and and he's done it all along anyway,
so continue to do it. But I really don't give
a damn about no injury reports. You know.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Oh there you.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Gohere, think I saw Hamlet and Shakespeare. I saw that,
not that I read Hamlet in Shakespeare. Just so everyone
is aware, I'm not that type of guy I saw.
Who am I man? Rodney Dangerfield, I do believe said that,
quoted it and back to school. I do believe. You go.
(32:33):
Can you imagine Robin Harris, Rodney Dangerfield, some people like
Bernie Mack, you know, John Candy, Robin Williams, Robin Williams
as well. No, no, no, no, no, Robin Harris, yeah,
Harris exactly. Some of these guys you got to look
them up because they's some of the funniest dudes that
(32:54):
you'd ever hear. Like Robin Harris is Baby's kids. You
remember Baby's kids? You don't, There's been these kids.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
It's too ghetto for you know what Rodney Dangerfield used
to perform. Some of his shows in just a bath towel,
really yeah, with nothing on underneath and creative dude. And
sometimes it will fall off. Well sometimes you know you
turn one way or the other and U and uh,
(33:23):
you know everybody can see the cash from prizes.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
So and he didn't care.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
I mean just lit it out And then you know,
chances are you was looking for the cash and prizes.
Then you know, good for him. He get you what
you was looking for. You looked forward and you got it.
So there you go, shouts out to Rodney Danger.
Speaker 3 (33:41):

rack dot Com Studios, if you are a fan of

your podcast. You'll see today's show posted right after we
get off the air. So we did have an update
from Kevin Stefanski, the head coach of the Cleveland Browns.
The Browns have officially been eliminated from the playoffs. Some
would argue they were eliminated in August, when Deshaun Watson
was still the starting quarterback there, but nonetheless for technicality reasons,
the Browns are gone from the postseason and by the
(35:52):
wayside goes Brady Quinn's Super Bowl pick of the Cleveland Browns.
But we do have some good news, okay. Jamis Winston
will remain the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns next year.
Right now, for this year, that's what we know.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
I mean, who else was going to be it?
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Well yet, Dorian Thompson, Robinson, you know, matter who knows
maybe make a cup.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Well, I'll make a change now because they just lost.
Speaker 8 (36:20):
Well.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Kevin Stefanski explained the reasoning behind it when he spoke
to the media yesterday.
Speaker 11 (36:25):
We need to play better as an offense to help
our team win. We don't want to give the ball
away in any former fashion. We don't want to fumble
it away, we don't want to throw interceptions. But we
also coach each play because each play is a little
bit different than the last. So, like I've said to
you guys before, not all interceptions are created equal, and
all we can do with any play is learn from them,
(36:47):
and that's what James will continue to do.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
I mean, I know that people look at it and say, well,
why don't you give a DTR some work and let
him get out there. We'll hold on a second. James
Winston throws interceptions, but at least he praise out loud
for them afterwards and the lot to have them, Yeah
(37:10):
to no more pick sixes, Like at least we've got that.
He's provided so much entertainment to an organization and a
franchise that has been a bag of vomiting.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
He provided hope too all year. I mean he delivered
a win against the Steelers. I mean he he's played
well during his stat I mean well enough at least,
and I say well enough to actually have the conversation
as to what do you do, Like if you don't
have any intentions of keeping Jameis Winston in as your
(37:46):
starter moving into next year, now that becomes a question
of do you continue to play him or do you
want to see if DTR is indeed that person that
may be the backup once again to Deshaun Watson. And
are you okay with that? I mean that's you know,
(38:07):
they were making it. They were in a different predicament
last year with Joe Flacco, but nonetheless in some regards,
still comparable to Jameis Winston. This year, you have Deshaun
Watson go out, you have the backup step in. You
have the backup do better than the starter once again.
And the only two consistents there that I pulled from
(38:30):
that is Deshaun Watson went out due to an injury,
a season ending injury, and another quarterback stepped in and
did better than him. So I think when you when
you're addressing these conversations, the way that that you know
Cleveland is I think the biggest question has to come
down to Jonas is if you're planning on a long
(38:53):
term play with Jameis Winston as your quarterback, whether a
backup or the starter.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
I mean, I don't know what they're gonna be picking
in the draft, but I would assume they would be
looking at quarterback.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
I would assume.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
But I just don't know how you roll it back
with Deshaun Watson next year and go, you know, we've
had three years of a look at this, Let's go
ahead and give it a fourth and see what we
got this time. I mean, that's wild. He's got nineteen
touchdown passes since he's arrived in Cleveland. Jamis Winston started
(39:26):
six games and he's got thirteen. Every quarterback that's been
there not named Deshaun Watson has outperformed and be in
Cleveland since he got there.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
I know him better than this.
Speaker 7 (39:36):
I know.
Speaker 11 (39:37):
I'm like, I'm just praying for the Lord to deliver
me from pick sixes.
