Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the best of two pros and a couple
Joe with Lamar and Jonas Knox Ono.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
To look at in a way I don't want to go.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
I don't want to go as far as Patrick Mahomes,
not not even closed you.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Call top tier quarterback though.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
But this is his second Super Bowl and he played
phenomenal in the first and he outplayed Patrick Mahomes, and
that who I was. I was watching it yesterday and
I was like, man, I was, it's going It's gotta
be a daunting task to beat the quarterback the other quarterback.
But for some reason, I smound myself thinking Jayalen Hurts
(00:44):
is probably just as confident in going into this game
as Patrick Mahomes is.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
And I'll tell you what, Like the mindset when you're
taking on a Patrick Mahomes, like the reality is you
can't You're not playing Patrick, You're not playing not playing him,
You're playing the chief Steve Fns. You're playing Steve's And
I think the biggest thing for Jalen is he just
has to focus on a play to play and like
find that rhythm. But for so many quarterbacks, I think,
especially young quarterbacks in the league now, if you looked
(01:11):
at their evolution and how they got in college in
the NFL.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
What were they excelled.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
They get into a rhythm like you see them in games,
get into a rhythm. Sometimes it helps being up tempo.
Sometimes it helps be in a shotgun. We feel like
you're a point guard. But very early on, if you
get a quarterback who gets into a rhythm, and I
thought Hurtz did that in the first Super Bowl when
these two played each other, you were like, dang, okay,
he's got that confidence. And but you don't really as
(01:37):
a quarterback, you don't really feel it until you get
into the game and start making the throws.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
You could be confident to say like, man, I feel
good in pre game, I'm hitting everything I want.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
I've got my stuff today. But until you get into
that game, you start seeing it starts happening. Pressure too,
But it's not even the pressure. It's just like the energy,
Like there could be nerves, it could be anxiousness, could
be whatever. And once you get into the game though,
and then you start dealing, then you're like all right,
like like I've got my flow and you just go.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
But I was always scared to death before the first hit,
like when we do the coin toss, I'd be like, please,
please be receiving, because I wanted as much time to
not go out there and start the game. I'd be
nervous as hell really until the first hit, and I'd
be on the sideline, like I'd be biting my fingers off.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I'd be on sideline. That's like fighters, right, Oh gosh.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
That's like fighters. They always like that for Terrified.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Then I get out there and then then it's like
like all kinds of and then it's like I start
hearing the snapcown.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I'm like, oh god, all right, here we go. Here
we go, Here we go.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And once they snap it and you start moving, it's
like all here we go.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, here we go. I don't know, it's like a
game within the game.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Then George Saint Pierre is like one of the greatest
UFC fighters of all time. He's known and he's spoken
publicly about this. He hated every single fight, didn't want
to go, was trying to find every reason not to fight.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Terrified.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
This is one of the like the best fighters up
all to And the second he started walking out.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And got in there, okay, like that's.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Where he but it was like the build up was
so much in his mind because it's a training camp,
it's all that, and then you're in the locker room
and like you're putting your your life on the line, basically,
like someone's trying to maim you and take everything from you.
And then once he gets out there, he figures it out.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
And any smell insults help with that too, you think, So, yeah,
smell insults every once in a while, like.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Really like, ah, well, that's that's right there, you know.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
You like your pregame music was probably intense, right it was.
So it was and I don't know if a lot
of other quarterbacks feel that way, but it was the
exact opposite, Like you had to really calm yourself down,
and you had to because you got to.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Operate out there at times like a picture.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
But the difference is is like you really don't get
to dictate the tempo because there's so many variables that
dictate it to you.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
There's a play.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Clock, there's the rush, there's the timing of the play,
and there's that what happens while the play is going on.
So there's so many things that are out of your
control that you have to try to find that like
calm medium.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I used to listen to soundtracks because I really thought
I was like a samurai. Like I would listen to
from Okinawa, a samurai from that learned my art form
from ok.
Speaker 7 (04:22):
Now, Hey, how good was that Game of Throne song?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I sent you?
Speaker 8 (04:25):
Good?
Speaker 9 (04:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (04:26):
Good?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I like Game of Thrones. I like I get you
fired the Dragon, Blood of the Dragon. I was not
too old for Gladiator I had. I would play Gladiator.
Gladiator was two thousands.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah I was. I would play Gladiator. I'd play Rocky.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I play you know one surprisingly, I played h the
score from Armageddon. When we would be driving up to
the stadium, I play Armageddon because I'd be looking at
the people like we were driving to Like in the
movie with Bruce Willis, with Ben Afla and Bruce Willis.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
You were listening to that all full Aerosmith song.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
That's a good that's a good song. But now to
the one all right.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
The reason why we're talking about Jalen Hurts, by the way,
is really the fact that what you said he's gonna
be playing, he's gonna have so to your point, if
he plays well, wins this.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I don't think people understand what he's been able to Yeah, right,
it's kind of been but but this is the issue.
He's gonna have his fourth offensive coordinator four years.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Wow. Think about that.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
You go back a few years ago, right, Shane Steichen,
that's that was his OC, and then it was Johnson, right,
who then got basically fired and moved on to bringing Kellamore,
who to your point, it's it's no secrets, gonna give
me the head coach of the Saints. So they have
to find another OC. So two of the three that
he's had so far have moved on to head coaches.
One got fired or you know however you wanted to
(05:54):
describe that, and then we don't know what's gonna happen
to the next one. But in three years having three
o c's, I can't understate as a quarterback how difficult
that is.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Because even though.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
It's the same system and it's not gonna be the
same each year, every OC might come in tweak, some things,
call something different, do something different. So from your actual
playbook of what you have, if that's gonna change somewhat.
But it's more about like this guy's personality. You know,
there are some coordinators where you could make mistakes and
(06:26):
when they you know, when they're like, you make a
mistake in the coach.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Like no, I believe in you.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I believe in you.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
For it's like, well, you took me off the field.
Then that next opportunity that came. There's some ocs where
like you throw a pick. The next series, you know
what they do the first two plays run and you're like,
all right, well, if you believe in me, let me
go back out there and keep slinging it. So their
their play calling and their actions speak oftentimes louder than
(06:51):
what they actually say, and that's how you can kind
of diagnose them. But you even know, like, hey, I
hit a big play. Is this guy aggressive? Does he
put his foot on the game, we stand, no huddle,
get up the line, running a play, taking a shot,
or is he the type that just kind of stays
within the offense.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Or we backed up.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
You know, there's all these different situations that present themselves
and you're trying to sometimes figure out, you know, what's
the identity of this guy because oftentimes as young player
to calls, I mean, Kellimore has done it now where
he knows what he wants, what he's trying to get,
But young play callers They're still trying to figure out
their identity. They're trying to figure out, like how do
I call how I call a game? How am I
(07:27):
going to change throughout the course of the season, How
am I going to get the ball of these different playmakers.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
So he's had to deal with that adjustment.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
And and again, I can't you know overstate enough how
difficult that is for a quarterback to have to start
again that relationship. It stinks, man. When you look at
the guys who've had a ton of success, there's continuity
and the guy who's there with them. I mean, think
about homes and Andy ree It's like part of the
fact that it's not the OC who's calling the play
(07:56):
as it's Andy Reid.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
I wonder if he part of him is maybe almost
not built for it, but accustomed to it because of
looking transferred out Alabama, went to Oklahoma.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
He ain't changed it OCAs why it was at Bama anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And he gets to Philly.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
They fired the head coach after the first year, there's
all that drama with Carson Wentz and then he's dealt
with you know, Sirianni, the coordinators, all that stuff that's happened.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
So to me, in this spot, you can always you
can always look at it as how much better could
he have been? Though, because there's nothing like having stability.
It's almost like said, a kid that grows up in
a home where there's you know, a parent in and
(08:38):
out of person, that's a parental figure that's in and
out of the house during the course of their time
and development growing up, could still be successful in life.
Of course, they could still be successful in life. But
you know, with that being said, oh, people are so mean, man,
(09:00):
oh you really are. But you know, they could be
easily talking about they could easily be talking about Jalen
Hurts though, Like That's what I'm saying to me. I
feel like, if Jalen wins this game, if Jalen wins
this game, if the Eagles win this game, you got
to talk about Jalen in elite fashion, even if he
(09:21):
doesn't have the most uh, even if he doesn't score.
You know.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
So all right, so here's why we're laughing.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
There's a a Twitter account called today in Sports that
is promoting a new cologne from Dak Prescott. It's called
Dak Prescott Cologne. For those nights when you don't want
to score in the name of the Colone.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Is it signature that is that is savage?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
People are ruthless that it's.
Speaker 9 (09:53):
Savage savage nights when you don't want to score. I
n TEA by Dak best Up.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I think it's a tremendous feet because I didn't even
realize that he had that many O c's. You know,
I had more head coaches than I did years in
the league at one point I had I had with you,
I had.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Three my my Pro Bowl years.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I had a different defensive coordinator every single year.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
And how hard is that?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
It's hard, man, It's hard, And I'm gonna tell you
why it's hard.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It's hard because once you develop the.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Continuity of in the relationship between the play caller and
and you as the player, you're like your your your vision,
your your way of seeing things, your way of approaching
things is so much.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
It's so different. It's so different.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Like I can give you feedback learning it, but my
feedback once I've learned it, it's much different than the
feedback that I'm giving while I'm trying to figure out
what your scheme is and that.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Come when you play faster, you can anticipate, you don't
have to think as much you can.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
And that's so think about it.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
If I'm thinking more, I'm not as good as I
could possibly be if I'm thinking more. And so the
fact that he's been able to overcome that and they've
been able to still have that level of success where
they're making it this far in the season, that I mean,
man like, imagine if you give them a guy for
more than one year, what could this Eagles team really be?

Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and

Speaker 6 (11:46):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming
up later on this hour, a little over fifteen minutes
from now, we are going to dive back into our
prop bets for Super Bowl fifty nine ers who get
you set for the big Game.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Here live from New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It is Radio Row.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
It's Super Bowl Week here on this Wednesday. But right
now we've got an all pro joining us. He is
Gerald McCoy. He is the co host of the McCoy
and Van noy on Yahoo Sports podcast. By the way,
I do want to mention this as well too. I'm
noticing the six Pro Bowls, Gerald, thanks for joining us.
Do those feel a little bit more sentimental seeing what
(12:25):
they've done to the Pro Bowl?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Now we are having this conversation.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
It's crazy you brought it up.
Speaker 11 (12:30):
I just had that conversation with somebody and I said,
the Pro Bowl is a Pro Bowl.
Speaker 10 (12:35):
One.
Speaker 11 (12:36):
I take pride in the fact that I was never
an alternate. I was always voted in first. Always that matters,
always matters well at the I wanttarybody this. If you
make the Pro Bowl, congratulations, But the ones who get
voted in immediately we take pride in matters in all
six of mine. I was voted in. I wasn't an
alternate to one, I take pride in it. But two,
(12:56):
when you grew up watching this game and they say
pro there's one word that pops in your head after that, Hawaii.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (13:05):
So when they took it out of Hawaii, everything changed.
The first year in Orlando, it was great. We had
free VIP tours to Disney. That's great for family, they
rented out Universal Studios. Incredible, But then after that, you're
just in Orlando.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah you know it and went nowhere.
Speaker 11 (13:24):
Yeah, and then now how it is they're trying to
change it up and stuff. So but I grew up
and had an opportunity to experience the pro bo how
most historians seemed the proposed.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
To be in Hawaii. Man.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
So yeah, I asked LeVar this because you know he
went a few times, and do you feel like now
watching the alternates and kind of who goes and some
of it just go, it's almost takes away from what
we accomplished, because like I hear, I hear you sitting
here saying that, almost like you have to defend now, like, hey,
that was a different time. That was a different era the
(14:00):
Pro Bowl because I never made one, but looking at it,
that's how I see it. I'm like, well, come on, man,
some of the people were putting that now it's just
not the same as what it used to be.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (14:08):
I just feel like, if you're going to be an optinate,
be like really next up, like my guy, like my
guy Kyle, he should have been in their period. He
was fourth in the league in sacks and he didn't
make the Pro Bowl, he wasn't in All Pro and
it was like fourth in the league in sacks on
the top defense. He should have been in there anyway,
but he was the first alternate. That's how it's supposed
(14:30):
to be. You have twelve and a half sacks. That's
how the alternates are supposed to be. But when you
just like a random like, I ain't getting there.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I get that, you know, and.
Speaker 11 (14:42):
It seems like telling the truth because we're in the
soft era, just twenty twenty five. You say anything, you
voice your opinion, it's you considered the hater. This is
not hating. This is a fact. If you were not
next up on the list, how did they skip over
all these people and just throw you in there. There
has to be some type of criteria to get you
(15:03):
in there.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Let me ask you.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
That's why we got you, man, because you know you
you had great success obviously at the pro level. Looking
at this game coming up, this this Super Bowl game.
Give me your expert analysis on the defensive fronts in
this game. This is this is not a military secret.
Of course, they're going to be the ones that dictate
(15:28):
what happened. Absolutely, if if Kansas City's defensive front can
handle the mass and the athleticism of Phillies offensive line.
It's going to be a Saquon Barkley day, which I
kind of feel like Saquon is going to have a day.
But what is your take on it? Phillies D line
(15:50):
phenomenal d line. Jalen has I think transition from being
a talent and a potential talent to.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
He's a he's a guy. He's a he's a guy.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
What's your take like, who do you see having the
ad and what's your take on it going into the game.
Speaker 11 (16:04):
So we go back to the AFC Championship, Kansas City
run defense was real leaky. They didn't stop Buffalo. They
didn't stop James Cook. Buffalo stopped James Cook. Go back
before that, they didn't stop Houston. So they didn't stop
those two teams. What makes it now comes in sa
(16:26):
Kwon Barkley. Philly is gonna do what Philly does. That
boy is getting that ball about twenty five to thirty times.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
That scares me. Flip to the other side.
Speaker 11 (16:38):
The offensive line for Kansas City hasn't been great. Patrick
Mahomes has been hit and sacked more than he's been
his since he's been a starter. So now it comes
down to how's Andy Reid gonna draw it up? Because
we know physical physical Kansas City's D line and at
(17:00):
least combat Philly's old line, they can at least combat it.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Flip it.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
I don't feel like Kansas City's old line can combat
Philly's defensive line. So it's gonna have to be drawn up.
And Brady, you notice the run game is gonna have
to be screens. It's gonna have to be a different variation,
not just handing the ball off. And that's the joy
of having Andy Reid. He can manipulate your defense and
(17:30):
you're giving him two weeks to be able to figure
this out. Where it's going to come in is Kansas City.
Andy Reid can manipulate you all game. At some point
they're gonna have to go man for man and block
Philly's defensive line.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
Nolan Smith is really the X factor.
Speaker 11 (17:50):
You go back to the Rams game when Jalen Carter
had the sack and then the pressure. I broke it
down on NFL Network. It wasn't that he did any
thing special. You know why he came so free. They
slid the protection to the right, the guard who's supposed
to stay in wait when Jalen Carter comes into the
A gap, they're supposed to double and wait. He was
(18:12):
so worried about Nolan Smith that he didn't hold. He
took off running to go help with Nolan Smith for
having stunned because he was killing them all game and
Jyalen Carter literally was just running upfield. The center was
looking this way because he's thinking, when Jalen Carter comes down,
I have help, so I'm gonna peak. And when he peaked,
(18:34):
Jalen Carter just ran straight to the quarterback because of
what Nolan Smith has been doing.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Gotcha.
Speaker 11 (18:40):
So we talk about Jalen Carter, but people are forgetting
Nolan Smith is playing the best.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
Football he's plays since he's been in the Pro.
Speaker 11 (18:46):
So that's gonna be the X factor. The tandem of
those two.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
Jerald McCoy joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, the
co host of McCoy and Vanoy on Yahoo Sports.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
They didn't want to ask you. We were talking about
this yesterday.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
The tush push Mark Murphy, the Packers president until he
retires in July. It doesn't like to play once it outlawed,
and we were kind of having the discussion. You know,
it doesn't really look like anything else in the NFL
as somebody who played at the highest level on that
defensive line.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
How are you stopping it? Can you stop it?
Speaker 11 (19:20):
For me, I feel like everybody's tried everything. You can
try and lift the center.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
Up, you can try and load the a gaps, you can.
Speaker 11 (19:28):
It is really a matter of Jalen Hurts and his
strength and how he's running it.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
And I mean he has to fall forward for a yard.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Right And by the way, the NFL, he's over seventy
percent for all teams using it.
Speaker 11 (19:40):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So it's it's it's a
matter of how they're using it. And for me, I've
never been a guy where it's like, oh, they shouldn't
run it.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Is it legal? It's legal?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Right, it's legal. Then you got to try to stop it.
Speaker 10 (19:54):
Stop it.
Speaker 11 (19:54):
Don't let him get that let him get that close,
put them in, get them off track, get them off
All Philly does.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Is what Philly does.
Speaker 11 (20:03):
They get in a position where they're close enough to
where they can run this play. If you don't want
them to run it, keep them out of that position.
I don't think you should, Oh we should outlaw this play.
We've already made football so soft. We can't just stop
just oh well, they can't run it, because can't nobody
stop it.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
That's weird.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
I want to transition into just talk about your transition
from football to broadcasting. First off, was it something that
you always envision? And then second you have a unique perspective.
Your last stop with Las Vegas Raiders kind of went
through the whole situation with Gruden everything else, and so
I'm kind of curious to get your thoughts and just
how that season went, how they went down. But then
even now what he's doing with his career also trying
(20:43):
to kind of maybe get back into it more, but
doing it in a unique route through more broadcasting.
Speaker 11 (20:47):
Yeah. So one, yes, I didn't really have a choice.
You know, from the time I can remember all the
way back to being four years old playing Santa in
this cool Christmas play, to being in church and lee
songs and doing promos from my high school and at
Ou and with Tampa, and when I got speaking of
(21:08):
Vegas or when I got injured with the Cowboys, everybody
start calling the media. Do you think he's gonna keep playing.
If he's not, do you think he's ready to start
working his way? I'm like, God, let me quit first,
Like y'all forced me into this.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
I feel like you shined on Hardening and then I
remember watching Hard Hard Knocks.
Speaker 11 (21:28):
What they did is they came to me before and
they said, hey, are you ready to be a star?
And I said, just turn the camera a lot, need
you do push record? I'll do the rest. And that's
just me. It's not where I don't like tryhards when
people are not just themselves. Was it Liam Cohen? He
(21:53):
did whatever he did that.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Was a try hard.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
You're trying to be something that you're not.
Speaker 11 (22:05):
Me me, what I what I am is just what
I am, and that's who I've always been. Cameras don't
bother me, articulate my thoughts, don't bother me. Figuring outside
the box, it don't bother me. So it was kind
of like a writer of passage. And you guys know,
there's nothing that can substitute for that competition on that field,
(22:27):
that locker room to travel, all of it.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
As much as we say, who I'm tired, I'm exhausted.
Speaker 11 (22:32):
At the end of the week, you give anything to
go do it again, so to have to have I
don't want to go back and do it again.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
Jee, I know I'm saying right now, I.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Don't ever want to go back and do it again.
Speaker 11 (22:45):
You didn't know, so what has substitute? I love this,
this substituting for the competition.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Don't get the feeling.
Speaker 11 (22:53):
That's all I'm saying. I will never That's what I'm saying.
And I agree with you, That's what I'm saying. The
feeling I want.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I want that you're doing what you're doing, and I
love being here.
Speaker 8 (23:02):
I love being here and I don't want to go
back and play.
Speaker 11 (23:06):
But when you're done playing, you try and find something
that I was blessed enough to be able to transition
right into this.

Speaker 10 (26:13):
Why don't you.
Speaker 13 (26:13):
Stop trying to get me to say the same things
over and over and over again.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
It's like I'm a jukebox for jokes that you like.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I don't.
Speaker 10 (26:22):
I don't like.
Speaker 13 (26:23):
I don't like seeing what I look like in other markets. Okay,
that's why I don't like going to.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
The super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
I'm we're looking for Petro.
Speaker 13 (26:33):
I am a afternoon drive host and have been for
a good part of I mean over twenty years in
the city of Los Angeles. I have done the afternoon
drive show with with my partner Matt Smith for like
nineteen years. And I went to one Super Bowl one
(26:56):
they made me go in Miami and I saw, awe,
what I look like in Saint Louis the afternoon drive guy,
or what I look like in Boise and what I
look like usually I have some kind of facial hair,
like a goatee of some kind. Uh. I'm almost always
(27:18):
wearing jeans that are maybe five to six years out
of date, which is fine because I don't want to
be dressed like Rob Polenka either, Like I hired a.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
Style Yeah, yeah, what the hell is that?
Speaker 10 (27:28):
I will get into it?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Is it noticeable how old those jeans are? And what
would be the giveaway.
Speaker 13 (27:33):
Piece like Arizona jeans, you know, or something like that Britanna. Yeah,
something something that the guy's wife boughtom fifteen years ago,
you know. And then of course the bacon neck.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
Yeah, the.
Speaker 13 (27:50):
Bacon neck worn at what worn out, washed a thousand times.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
With all the children's clothes.
Speaker 13 (27:57):
Bacon polo representing your whoren crap station, and it always
has some faded out logo right over there man boob
on the left side.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
That says the NFL logo.
Speaker 13 (28:10):
No, it says the ticket, or it says the Beast,
or it says the fan, or it says the show
the couple.
Speaker 10 (28:19):
Yeah, it's just like, you know what, Please God.
Speaker 13 (28:23):
In Heaven, would you stop? I just don't which look.
I respect the genre I and I'm part of it.
I just don't want to see what I look like
in other market.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Just so you know, Petros I sat next to Don
Martin last night at dinner.
Speaker 10 (28:37):
Hello Brady.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
We had a great.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
Conversation we talked. We were talking about you and just
how it all kind of all came together and everything else.
And we're just both you know, kind of showing our
admiration and appreciation for you.
Speaker 10 (28:51):
So I want you to know that.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
But I do want to get back to Rob Pelinka.
Speaker 10 (28:55):
Okay, what is up with that?
Speaker 13 (28:58):
Well, I think what happens. This happened once at the
Fox Seminar, and I don't know you. I think you
were working there at this point, Brady.
Speaker 10 (29:05):
Maybe not.
Speaker 13 (29:06):
It was a I don't know, maybe eight nine years ago,
and we're at the Fox Seminar, you know, same one
every year, same place every year in Rancher, Palas Verdes,
and Troy Aikman showed up and it was just obviously
clear that he had hired a stylist, you know what
I mean. Like, there's one thing, like if you go
to the store with your girlfriend or your wife or something,
(29:29):
and you buy some clothes and you wear them around,
and then fifteen years later you're at the Super Bowl
and you're wearing the same clothes and people are making
fun of you. That's one thing. It's one thing to
just try to keep up in your own way. It's
a whole other thing to hire a stylist four hundreds
of thousands of dollars a year and spend thousands and
(29:50):
thousands of dollars on clothing. That's how you end up
with a jacket on that doesn't fit you and your
sleeves all pushed up.
Speaker 10 (30:00):
Wan showed up once.
Speaker 13 (30:00):
At a at the Taranea literally wearing like an army
jacket with the sleeves pulled up and and like and
and and like a T shirt. But you know, it
wasn't like a T shirt from a Haynes pack. It
was like a T shirt. It's more like a blouse
of some kind.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
I remember this.
Speaker 13 (30:18):
A bluesa and everybody's you know, every because Troy Aikman
used to look normal, right, We have a polo on
and some kakis and he walk around and all of
a sudden, he's all, you know, dressed up and all
greasy and weird and uh and people were like, dude,
when's Troy getting deployed?
Speaker 10 (30:34):
What happened?
Speaker 13 (30:35):
You know it's but you can only really recognize these
things if you know, like he hired a stylist. He
hired some woman named like Ainsley or something, who you
know comes in and and and spends all your money
on stupid clothes that you would never think of putting
yourself in. Hence the reason Rob Polenka was wearing like
(30:56):
a seven sizes too small flight jack with the sleeves
pulled up and a gleaming zipper on during the uh
the Luka Doncicch press conference.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Let's talk about that. What was your what was your
reaction to the trade?
Speaker 13 (31:15):
Well, I mean at first, you know, you think because
for the last whatever however long, Lebron's been here, Like
it doesn't take a weatherman to know which way the
wind is blowing, Lebron James has been in charge. Lebron
James and Clutch Sports have moved into the Laker building
and influenced the Lakers in.
Speaker 10 (31:35):
All kinds of ways.
Speaker 13 (31:37):
If it's right, if it's wrong, I don't know. It
certainly can point to a lot of the reason people
don't find the NBA as entertaining as they.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Used to go.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Two championships under his watch one and it was the Bubble, two.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
The in season, yes, in season champions.
Speaker 10 (31:53):
Oh, I stand corrected, I'm sorry, how dare you so?
Speaker 11 (31:58):
Uh?
Speaker 13 (31:59):
So, all of those things have been happening with Lebron,
whether you like it or not. I mean, they drafted
his son, they hired the coach that he does a
podcast with.
Speaker 10 (32:07):
I mean, it's not really that hard to see.
Speaker 13 (32:10):
And then so you see this happen and you say,
oh my god, Lebron put a knife in the back
of Anthony Davis. Oh god, Clutch Sports. You know they
let Anthony Davis die. I mean, that was my first impression.
And then you start to look at it and you say,
wait a minute. You know they could have done this
to start to jettison Lebron. This is the get away
(32:33):
from Lebron move and how are we going to get
away from Lebron? We have to bring somebody in that's younger,
better and has more influence for whatever the baggage is
in Dallas.
Speaker 10 (32:45):
I mean, there's a lot of talk there, but it
certainly is a shock.
Speaker 13 (32:49):
But I think for people in Los Angeles that find
the Lakers so unsavory now because of what the Lebron
James era has kind of fostered in whether that's right
for those people, I think they feel as if there's
a light at the end of the tunnel, there's a
new superstar, Like there's always a windfall for the Lakers,
and it's not a mistake. I mean, there's always and
(33:13):
nobody really knows the exact details of this, and I'll
throw out some conspiracy theories for you guys, but nobody
knows exactly where this went or or or how it
was fostered in. It's really hard for me to believe
now that we've looked at it a couple days later,
and we see that this guy, like this guy Luka Doncic,
(33:35):
Yes whatever, he's fat and he's drunk, and he's got
like a giant Slovenian or Slovene mafia that hangs around
with a bunch of guys in sweatsuits smoking cigarettes.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
With no beard.
Speaker 10 (33:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (33:47):
Well, the bad guy, his guys look like the bad
guys in the Saint you know, like all that's fine,
Like everybody would just shrug their shoulders and say, yes,
so okay, yeah, let's take him.
Speaker 10 (33:58):
I mean, the guy was the.
Speaker 13 (33:59):
Rookie the year and then the next five years he's
been first team All NBA. That's like four other guys.
No one does no one's ever done that. Lebron never
did that. So what the Lakers have now is somebody
to lean on for the next ten years or theoretically,
and that means Lebron James has apparently lost his power,
(34:21):
which is a great thing for a lot of us,
because the Lakers, it just doesn't feel right that Lebron
James is able to make all these moves. I get it,
He's forty and I don't know how I'm still doing this.
But for most of us, I think in La it's
become a tiresome thing. So this represents a giant shift.
I think, deep down, deep down, I think Genie Buss
(34:44):
called Adam Silver in his coffin and well he looks
like a vampire come on and.
Speaker 10 (34:53):
Asked him to point his undead finger.
Speaker 13 (34:58):
At the situation and fix it, because she probably said, look, we're.
Speaker 10 (35:02):
We have to get out from under this Lebron thing.
You're killing us. We've done what you've asked.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Yeah, how does this make sense for Dallas?
Speaker 10 (35:10):
Well that's a great question, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
Like there's some conspiracy theories out there which we may
get to, you know, after this, but I just I
look at it and go look at what the compensation
was for Kevin Durant with the nets in that trade
and I look at this and I go, this doesn't
make any sense.
Speaker 13 (35:27):
Well, no it doesn't, and that that's what makes you
feel like the NBA is behind this, or that the
NBA is not a real league, you know, all the
different things you see people saying on social media. Because
if Dallas had actually shopped Luka Doncic, there would be ah,
there would be a surplus. I mean, they couldn't even
get Dalton Connect, this great rookie for the Lakers that
(35:49):
shoots really well.
Speaker 10 (35:51):
They didn't get him.
Speaker 13 (35:51):
They could have got that an extra pick, all kinds
of Ronnie. They could could have got Bronnie James. Imagine
the story that that would be in Dallas, throughout the
whole metroplex.
Speaker 10 (36:02):
So I don't really.
Speaker 13 (36:04):
Yeah, I'm not an NBA expert in that kind of way.
I despise the role of the NBA quote unquote insider.
The whole thing is so gross. I mean, sham Sharania.
At least Warzanowski. Yeah, he sold his soul and he
put on the Illuminati hood and he went to ESPN
(36:26):
and all that. But at least Wargnarowski was never in
the lebron pocket, right, Like that was the only news
he never broke was the Clutch people because he wasn't
on the same page as them. Well, Sharon is a
whole different deal. He actually he's on their payroll. I
mean the company that the Sharun balloon works for, Shamsharania,
(36:47):
is literally owned.
Speaker 10 (36:48):
By Clutch Sports. He's working for them.
Speaker 13 (36:52):
So you know, it's almost like the WWF in some
ways at this point.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
But if this means.
Speaker 13 (37:00):
Lebron is gone, and it and and and it seems
like it does because people in LA that really really
really support Lebron and seem to have connections with him
are really really really pissed about this. So that tells you.
That tells you maybe the direction that his camp is in.
I think it's great. I'd love to see if this
meean Lebron is If this means Lebron is closer to
(37:21):
being gone, I think it's the greatest thing ever.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
Petros Papade is joining us here on Fox Sports Radio,
kind of making the point over the past couple of days,
and you kind of reference this. There is a staleness
to the Lebron run here or in Los Angeles, and
the feeling I get is the Dodgers have taken over.
Oh like there's like it's not it's not even close
(37:45):
to the same, you know, level of well, you know,
it's still a Laker town. Like it feels like with
what they've done, how they operate, how ahead of everybody
else they are, the Dodgers have taken over, and there's
just this lagging, stale, hired Lebron run here or in
Los Angeles that I think people are just fed up with.
Speaker 13 (38:05):
Well, yeah, and and Lebron can do no wrong and
he's an icon, and if you say anything bad about him,
you know, the Lebron sexuals get all upset, and and
it's it's a very you know. I had a guy
that texted me yesterday. He's like, you know what, I
understand us homosexuals get a bad rap, But why do
we have to be connected with Lebron?
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Hold on?
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Hold on, where's the connection there? Missing?
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Just what am iut missing there?
Speaker 10 (38:36):
Petross?
Speaker 13 (38:39):
It's just instead of the word homo, you say Lebron
and they.
Speaker 8 (38:42):
Know, oh wow.
Speaker 13 (38:44):
Lebron sexuals. That's what they call him. Friends said, a homosexual?
Speaker 10 (38:50):
What do you want from you?
Speaker 2 (38:53):
You are.
Speaker 13 (38:57):
I'm not the one I got you say, Lebron's sexual
I've gotten text and people are like, hey, don't lump
us in with Lebron.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
How do you How do you get text?
Speaker 4 (39:05):
Do you have that public number you give out?
Speaker 10 (39:07):
Yes, I still have a public number. I get text
right now, while you guys are what's the number?
Speaker 2 (39:11):
What's the secret text? Also, I give the.
Speaker 10 (39:13):
Text out once a year. I'm not going to give
it out on your show.
Speaker 13 (39:16):
It's sponsored by Toyota, the Southern California Toyota dealers.
Speaker 10 (39:19):
We make it easy.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Oh so you're gonna plug, You're gonna plug lots, but
go and get the number.
Speaker 10 (39:24):
Well we're going in a right now, Yes you are.
Speaker 13 (39:27):
I give it out once a year, and some years
I forget to give it out, but believe me, everybody
has it, including you and me.
Speaker 10 (39:35):
Don Martin, let's start in his whole career.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Yes, let me throw one more out at you before
maybe they want to ask you another one too, But
my last one would be uh Cooper cup Oh obviously
that that is coming to it. And how will he
be remembered? Oh yeah, how will he be remembered in
the LA market? I mean we're talking about the incoming
to butter Well, yeah, I mean he'll.
Speaker 13 (40:02):
Be remembered for his monosyllabic answers.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
The greatest Amish player in the history of the city.
Speaker 13 (40:10):
I mean, the one thing I really, I mean, everybody
heard about him because he was remember Big play Va,
the quarterback for Oregon the transfer to Oregon and ran
around a little bit, remember him Vernon Adams.
Speaker 5 (40:24):
Oh yeas Washington or something exactly.
Speaker 13 (40:28):
And he threw the ball to Cooper Cupp And uh,
that's kind of how Cooper Cup became known in the
area because of the Big play Va who went to
Alamany here in southern California.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
And uh, and then and then.
Speaker 13 (40:45):
Of course he showed up at the Rams from a
small school, a record breaking guy from a small school,
and had enormous success.
Speaker 10 (40:54):
But and and fun to watch. But he's been hurt
every year.
Speaker 13 (40:57):
I don't think he's played a full season ever, or
at lest he's not in the last four or five years.
He's over thirty, which blows my mind because I think
of him as a young player, and they already have
Puka Nakua, another LA guy who's a superstar. And I
just I guess, I don't know how he'll be remembered
because he doesn't speak, you know, I guess he'd be
(41:19):
remembered for his long beard, which is I mean, I
don't know if he I mean, the Chargers need a
receiver and he wants to stay in LA and they
need help. Is that too many whites with im? That's
just too much white guy?
Speaker 2 (41:38):
I worked in New England.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
What do you mean you couldn't pull that off at
l A.
Speaker 10 (41:42):
New England. Those aren't little slot guys though. These guys
aren't slot guys.
Speaker 13 (41:45):
These guys are more like real wide receivers that you
can put everywhere. I mean, and it's true though, Like,
come on, Lvar, if they had all those little bitch
slot guys in the NFL when you were playing, they'd
be dead.
Speaker 10 (41:57):
They change the rules.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
I mean that's true, right, I.
Speaker 10 (42:01):
Mean, Danny A. Mondola would be dead.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
I mean they.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Changed the rules because Todd Law was grabbing up Marvin
Harrison's little ass and throwing him on the bi You.
Speaker 13 (42:10):
Know, I like the NFL when Albert Lewis and Dale
Carter could stand at the line of scrimmage and choke
a receiver to death, couldn't even get two yards downfield.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
Those are the good old days. Festros.
Speaker 10 (42:25):
They were Petros.
Speaker 6 (42:30):
Lucy's retired surf bar going to Today Today.
Speaker 5 (42:35):
That's that's our dinner and there. Yeah, I think, I
mean that's what just is trying to do.
Speaker 4 (42:40):
Is that about Well, No.
Speaker 10 (42:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 13 (42:42):
Yeah, it's fine go to Mothers Mothers. Just go Mothers
has sandwiches. Yeah, just go get a sandwich and then
go drink. There's also a bar called walk Ons that
everybody goes to. It's like seems like more of like
a hey, I'm a college football star, like don't for
your style.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (43:00):
I tried to send you guys down to Frenchman or
the Davenport Room, but that's too culturally high for you.
Speaker 10 (43:05):
So yes, what season?
Speaker 13 (43:07):
Well, you don't want to go watch a guy play
the trumpet and sing like Louis Armstrong, do you?
Speaker 10 (43:12):
I talked about it last week and you poo poot it.
No one that was don't poo poo me bray white
and black.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
Sing it Brady.
Speaker 13 (43:28):
If you can't, you guys keep going. People think you
came back to life. You know, wonderful. I will not
have the best musician of the twentieth century made fun
of him, said, I think the mussel that man was
from a New Orleans Storyville was an orphan nice raised
(43:53):
by the Jewish family, nice as Starr David around Strong.
Speaker 6 (43:58):
Before I let you go, Petri, is what your thoughts?
Your thoughts on a Will Smith's kid wearing a house on.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
His head at the GRAM? It was rocketed, you know.
Speaker 13 (44:07):
I thought he was pretty geeked up about it, and
then he was sad because the Kanye's naked wife showed
up and stole.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Right.
Speaker 10 (44:16):
She was one thing to happen.
Speaker 13 (44:17):
Certain, Yeah, it's one thing to have an alf ro
house on your head, but then you know, somebody shows up,
you know, fully creviced, and it's.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
Like fully like every crevice, yeah, fully you know.
Speaker 13 (44:30):
So, I mean the best is when she drops her
robe and everybody said, whoa, yeah, you hear a paparazzi.
Speaker 10 (44:37):
I go, oh, whoa what I want to do?
Speaker 13 (44:47):
The surf bar, you guys are going to tonight Lucy's.
That's where Drew Brees would go when they would win
the Super Bowl or you know, we'd win a playoff
game or whatever, and after they won the super Bowl
and stand up on the bar to.
Speaker 10 (45:00):
Do his whole chap.
Speaker 4 (45:02):
Yeahs before he did it.
Speaker 10 (45:04):
I don't know, is.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
Spot or I don't know.
Speaker 13 (45:10):
It's a I brought Greg Nolan there. That's my h
claim to fame. Oh nice, you guys know who Greg
Nole is. No, Greg Nole is probably the most famous
surfer that ever lived. He's the first guy. He's dead now,
but yeah, I grew up with him. He's a big
old Oh yeah, there would know nothing about surfing. I know,
(45:31):
killed well, there wouldn't be a Kelly Slater or any
of those things. Greg Nole is the first person to
ever like the Hawaiians wouldn't do it. He's the first
person to paddle out at Ya Maya Bay and the
first person to surf all those places.
Speaker 2 (45:44):
So he was like the Tony Hawk of surfing.
Speaker 13 (45:47):
Kind of like he's the first big wave surfer and
you know, without a jet ski or being saved, he
just was. He's an absolute psychopath. He was a big guy.
I mean, he was absolutely safe, I mean complete. You
could read a book. The book is called double d
A b O U L L. Greg Nole. He's an amazing,
(46:08):
amazing man, an amazing story. But anyway, they had a
sandwich named after him there at the Lucy's and I
brought the actual guy in there and it was. It
was quite a quite a to do.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Hey, Petros.
Speaker 13 (46:20):
We also had to firemen carry him out of the
boxux Ball because he drank a handle of sky vodka.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
That's crazy, I'm sorry, LeVar.
Speaker 8 (46:28):
Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (46:29):
Did you know that Berner is the leader in less
lethal self defense? And well, you know, self defense is good,
especially if you're Petros Papa Dakas, because well, you could
use it in all fifty states if you decided to
go anywhere. No background checks needed, no permits, o you know,
no waiting periods.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
All you got to do to get you a Berner
less lethal launcher.
Speaker 3 (46:51):
No, it's a less lethal launcher like it's got kinetic rounds,
you got tear gas rounds like. It's really effective. Man,
I got a few of them. If you want one,
all you gotta do is visit bernad dot com and

We appreciate it. Uh, well, we'll send picks tonight. Lets
you know, have a good time. All right, So there
he is. Come yeah, come on in the cost of
the Petros and Money show, which you can hear on
the Blowtorch A M. Five seventy l A Sports Fox
college football analysts to get him on X at the op,
especially if you're a Lebron that's played A place to
(47:37):
find him
This is the best of two pros and a couple
Joe with Lamar and Jonas Knox Ono.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
To look at in a way I don't want to go.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
I don't want to go as far as Patrick Mahomes,
not not even closed you.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Call top tier quarterback though.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
But this is his second Super Bowl and he played
phenomenal in the first and he outplayed Patrick Mahomes, and
that who I was. I was watching it yesterday and
I was like, man, I was, it's going It's gotta
be a daunting task to beat the quarterback the other quarterback.
But for some reason, I smound myself thinking Jayalen Hurts
(00:44):
is probably just as confident in going into this game
as Patrick Mahomes is.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
And I'll tell you what, Like the mindset when you're
taking on a Patrick Mahomes, like the reality is you
can't You're not playing Patrick, You're not playing not playing him,
You're playing the chief Steve Fns. You're playing Steve's And
I think the biggest thing for Jalen is he just
has to focus on a play to play and like
find that rhythm. But for so many quarterbacks, I think,
especially young quarterbacks in the league now, if you looked
(01:11):
at their evolution and how they got in college in
the NFL.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
What were they excelled.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
They get into a rhythm like you see them in games,
get into a rhythm. Sometimes it helps being up tempo.
Sometimes it helps be in a shotgun. We feel like
you're a point guard. But very early on, if you
get a quarterback who gets into a rhythm, and I
thought Hurtz did that in the first Super Bowl when
these two played each other, you were like, dang, okay,
he's got that confidence. And but you don't really as
(01:37):
a quarterback, you don't really feel it until you get
into the game and start making the throws.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
You could be confident to say like, man, I feel
good in pre game, I'm hitting everything I want.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
I've got my stuff today. But until you get into
that game, you start seeing it starts happening. Pressure too,
But it's not even the pressure. It's just like the energy,
Like there could be nerves, it could be anxiousness, could
be whatever. And once you get into the game though,
and then you start dealing, then you're like all right,
like like I've got my flow and you just go.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
But I was always scared to death before the first hit,
like when we do the coin toss, I'd be like, please,
please be receiving, because I wanted as much time to
not go out there and start the game. I'd be
nervous as hell really until the first hit, and I'd
be on the sideline, like I'd be biting my fingers off.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I'd be on sideline. That's like fighters, right, Oh gosh.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
That's like fighters. They always like that for Terrified.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Then I get out there and then then it's like
like all kinds of and then it's like I start
hearing the snapcown.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I'm like, oh god, all right, here we go. Here
we go, Here we go.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And once they snap it and you start moving, it's
like all here we go.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, here we go. I don't know, it's like a
game within the game.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Then George Saint Pierre is like one of the greatest
UFC fighters of all time. He's known and he's spoken
publicly about this. He hated every single fight, didn't want
to go, was trying to find every reason not to fight.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Terrified.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
This is one of the like the best fighters up
all to And the second he started walking out.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And got in there, okay, like that's.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Where he but it was like the build up was
so much in his mind because it's a training camp,
it's all that, and then you're in the locker room
and like you're putting your your life on the line, basically,
like someone's trying to maim you and take everything from you.
And then once he gets out there, he figures it out.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
And any smell insults help with that too, you think, So, yeah,
smell insults every once in a while, like.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Really like, ah, well, that's that's right there, you know.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
You like your pregame music was probably intense, right it was.
So it was and I don't know if a lot
of other quarterbacks feel that way, but it was the
exact opposite, Like you had to really calm yourself down,
and you had to because you got to.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Operate out there at times like a picture.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
But the difference is is like you really don't get
to dictate the tempo because there's so many variables that
dictate it to you.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
There's a play.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Clock, there's the rush, there's the timing of the play,
and there's that what happens while the play is going on.
So there's so many things that are out of your
control that you have to try to find that like
calm medium.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I used to listen to soundtracks because I really thought
I was like a samurai. Like I would listen to
from Okinawa, a samurai from that learned my art form
from ok.
Speaker 7 (04:22):
Now, Hey, how good was that Game of Throne song?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I sent you?
Speaker 8 (04:25):
Good?
Speaker 9 (04:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (04:26):
Good?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I like Game of Thrones. I like I get you
fired the Dragon, Blood of the Dragon. I was not
too old for Gladiator I had. I would play Gladiator.
Gladiator was two thousands.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah I was. I would play Gladiator. I'd play Rocky.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I play you know one surprisingly, I played h the
score from Armageddon. When we would be driving up to
the stadium, I play Armageddon because I'd be looking at
the people like we were driving to Like in the
movie with Bruce Willis, with Ben Afla and Bruce Willis.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
You were listening to that all full Aerosmith song.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
That's a good that's a good song. But now to
the one all right.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
The reason why we're talking about Jalen Hurts, by the way,
is really the fact that what you said he's gonna
be playing, he's gonna have so to your point, if
he plays well, wins this.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I don't think people understand what he's been able to Yeah, right,
it's kind of been but but this is the issue.
He's gonna have his fourth offensive coordinator four years.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Wow. Think about that.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
You go back a few years ago, right, Shane Steichen,
that's that was his OC, and then it was Johnson, right,
who then got basically fired and moved on to bringing Kellamore,
who to your point, it's it's no secrets, gonna give
me the head coach of the Saints. So they have
to find another OC. So two of the three that
he's had so far have moved on to head coaches.
One got fired or you know however you wanted to
(05:54):
describe that, and then we don't know what's gonna happen
to the next one. But in three years having three
o c's, I can't understate as a quarterback how difficult
that is.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Because even though.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
It's the same system and it's not gonna be the
same each year, every OC might come in tweak, some things,
call something different, do something different. So from your actual
playbook of what you have, if that's gonna change somewhat.
But it's more about like this guy's personality. You know,
there are some coordinators where you could make mistakes and
(06:26):
when they you know, when they're like, you make a
mistake in the coach.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Like no, I believe in you.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I believe in you.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
For it's like, well, you took me off the field.
Then that next opportunity that came. There's some ocs where
like you throw a pick. The next series, you know
what they do the first two plays run and you're like,
all right, well, if you believe in me, let me
go back out there and keep slinging it. So their
their play calling and their actions speak oftentimes louder than
(06:51):
what they actually say, and that's how you can kind
of diagnose them. But you even know, like, hey, I
hit a big play. Is this guy aggressive? Does he
put his foot on the game, we stand, no huddle,
get up the line, running a play, taking a shot,
or is he the type that just kind of stays
within the offense.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Or we backed up.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
You know, there's all these different situations that present themselves
and you're trying to sometimes figure out, you know, what's
the identity of this guy because oftentimes as young player
to calls, I mean, Kellimore has done it now where
he knows what he wants, what he's trying to get,
But young play callers They're still trying to figure out
their identity. They're trying to figure out, like how do
I call how I call a game? How am I
(07:27):
going to change throughout the course of the season, How
am I going to get the ball of these different playmakers.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
So he's had to deal with that adjustment.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
And and again, I can't you know overstate enough how
difficult that is for a quarterback to have to start
again that relationship. It stinks, man. When you look at
the guys who've had a ton of success, there's continuity
and the guy who's there with them. I mean, think
about homes and Andy ree It's like part of the
fact that it's not the OC who's calling the play
(07:56):
as it's Andy Reid.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
I wonder if he part of him is maybe almost
not built for it, but accustomed to it because of
looking transferred out Alabama, went to Oklahoma.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
He ain't changed it OCAs why it was at Bama anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And he gets to Philly.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
They fired the head coach after the first year, there's
all that drama with Carson Wentz and then he's dealt
with you know, Sirianni, the coordinators, all that stuff that's happened.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
So to me, in this spot, you can always you
can always look at it as how much better could
he have been? Though, because there's nothing like having stability.
It's almost like said, a kid that grows up in
a home where there's you know, a parent in and
(08:38):
out of person, that's a parental figure that's in and
out of the house during the course of their time
and development growing up, could still be successful in life.
Of course, they could still be successful in life. But
you know, with that being said, oh, people are so mean, man,
(09:00):
oh you really are. But you know, they could be
easily talking about they could easily be talking about Jalen
Hurts though, Like That's what I'm saying to me. I
feel like, if Jalen wins this game, if Jalen wins
this game, if the Eagles win this game, you got
to talk about Jalen in elite fashion, even if he
(09:21):
doesn't have the most uh, even if he doesn't score.
You know.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
So all right, so here's why we're laughing.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
There's a a Twitter account called today in Sports that
is promoting a new cologne from Dak Prescott. It's called
Dak Prescott Cologne. For those nights when you don't want
to score in the name of the Colone.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Is it signature that is that is savage?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
People are ruthless that it's.
Speaker 9 (09:53):
Savage savage nights when you don't want to score. I
n TEA by Dak best Up.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I think it's a tremendous feet because I didn't even
realize that he had that many O c's. You know,
I had more head coaches than I did years in
the league at one point I had I had with you,
I had.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Three my my Pro Bowl years.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I had a different defensive coordinator every single year.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
And how hard is that?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
It's hard, man, It's hard, And I'm gonna tell you
why it's hard.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It's hard because once you develop the.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Continuity of in the relationship between the play caller and
and you as the player, you're like your your your vision,
your your way of seeing things, your way of approaching
things is so much.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
It's so different. It's so different.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Like I can give you feedback learning it, but my
feedback once I've learned it, it's much different than the
feedback that I'm giving while I'm trying to figure out
what your scheme is and that.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Come when you play faster, you can anticipate, you don't
have to think as much you can.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
And that's so think about it.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
If I'm thinking more, I'm not as good as I
could possibly be if I'm thinking more. And so the
fact that he's been able to overcome that and they've
been able to still have that level of success where
they're making it this far in the season, that I mean,
man like, imagine if you give them a guy for
more than one year, what could this Eagles team really be?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and

Speaker 6 (11:46):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming
up later on this hour, a little over fifteen minutes
from now, we are going to dive back into our
prop bets for Super Bowl fifty nine ers who get
you set for the big Game.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Here live from New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It is Radio Row.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
It's Super Bowl Week here on this Wednesday. But right
now we've got an all pro joining us. He is
Gerald McCoy. He is the co host of the McCoy
and Van noy on Yahoo Sports podcast. By the way,
I do want to mention this as well too. I'm
noticing the six Pro Bowls, Gerald, thanks for joining us.
Do those feel a little bit more sentimental seeing what
(12:25):
they've done to the Pro Bowl?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Now we are having this conversation.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
It's crazy you brought it up.
Speaker 11 (12:30):
I just had that conversation with somebody and I said,
the Pro Bowl is a Pro Bowl.
Speaker 10 (12:35):
One.
Speaker 11 (12:36):
I take pride in the fact that I was never
an alternate. I was always voted in first. Always that matters,
always matters well at the I wanttarybody this. If you
make the Pro Bowl, congratulations, But the ones who get
voted in immediately we take pride in matters in all
six of mine. I was voted in. I wasn't an
alternate to one, I take pride in it. But two,
(12:56):
when you grew up watching this game and they say
pro there's one word that pops in your head after that, Hawaii.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (13:05):
So when they took it out of Hawaii, everything changed.
The first year in Orlando, it was great. We had
free VIP tours to Disney. That's great for family, they
rented out Universal Studios. Incredible, But then after that, you're
just in Orlando.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah you know it and went nowhere.
Speaker 11 (13:24):
Yeah, and then now how it is they're trying to
change it up and stuff. So but I grew up
and had an opportunity to experience the pro bo how
most historians seemed the proposed.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
To be in Hawaii. Man.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
So yeah, I asked LeVar this because you know he
went a few times, and do you feel like now
watching the alternates and kind of who goes and some
of it just go, it's almost takes away from what
we accomplished, because like I hear, I hear you sitting
here saying that, almost like you have to defend now, like, hey,
that was a different time. That was a different era the
(14:00):
Pro Bowl because I never made one, but looking at it,
that's how I see it. I'm like, well, come on, man,
some of the people were putting that now it's just
not the same as what it used to be.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (14:08):
I just feel like, if you're going to be an optinate,
be like really next up, like my guy, like my
guy Kyle, he should have been in their period. He
was fourth in the league in sacks and he didn't
make the Pro Bowl, he wasn't in All Pro and
it was like fourth in the league in sacks on
the top defense. He should have been in there anyway,
but he was the first alternate. That's how it's supposed
(14:30):
to be. You have twelve and a half sacks. That's
how the alternates are supposed to be. But when you
just like a random like, I ain't getting there.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I get that, you know, and.
Speaker 11 (14:42):
It seems like telling the truth because we're in the
soft era, just twenty twenty five. You say anything, you
voice your opinion, it's you considered the hater. This is
not hating. This is a fact. If you were not
next up on the list, how did they skip over
all these people and just throw you in there. There
has to be some type of criteria to get you
(15:03):
in there.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Let me ask you.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
That's why we got you, man, because you know you
you had great success obviously at the pro level. Looking
at this game coming up, this this Super Bowl game.
Give me your expert analysis on the defensive fronts in
this game. This is this is not a military secret.
Of course, they're going to be the ones that dictate
(15:28):
what happened. Absolutely, if if Kansas City's defensive front can
handle the mass and the athleticism of Phillies offensive line.
It's going to be a Saquon Barkley day, which I
kind of feel like Saquon is going to have a day.
But what is your take on it? Phillies D line
(15:50):
phenomenal d line. Jalen has I think transition from being
a talent and a potential talent to.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
He's a he's a guy. He's a he's a guy.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
What's your take like, who do you see having the
ad and what's your take on it going into the game.
Speaker 11 (16:04):
So we go back to the AFC Championship, Kansas City
run defense was real leaky. They didn't stop Buffalo. They
didn't stop James Cook. Buffalo stopped James Cook. Go back
before that, they didn't stop Houston. So they didn't stop
those two teams. What makes it now comes in sa
(16:26):
Kwon Barkley. Philly is gonna do what Philly does. That
boy is getting that ball about twenty five to thirty times.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
That scares me. Flip to the other side.
Speaker 11 (16:38):
The offensive line for Kansas City hasn't been great. Patrick
Mahomes has been hit and sacked more than he's been
his since he's been a starter. So now it comes
down to how's Andy Reid gonna draw it up? Because
we know physical physical Kansas City's D line and at
(17:00):
least combat Philly's old line, they can at least combat it.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Flip it.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
I don't feel like Kansas City's old line can combat
Philly's defensive line. So it's gonna have to be drawn up.
And Brady, you notice the run game is gonna have
to be screens. It's gonna have to be a different variation,
not just handing the ball off. And that's the joy
of having Andy Reid. He can manipulate your defense and
(17:30):
you're giving him two weeks to be able to figure
this out. Where it's going to come in is Kansas City.
Andy Reid can manipulate you all game. At some point
they're gonna have to go man for man and block
Philly's defensive line.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
Nolan Smith is really the X factor.
Speaker 11 (17:50):
You go back to the Rams game when Jalen Carter
had the sack and then the pressure. I broke it
down on NFL Network. It wasn't that he did any
thing special. You know why he came so free. They
slid the protection to the right, the guard who's supposed
to stay in wait when Jalen Carter comes into the
A gap, they're supposed to double and wait. He was
(18:12):
so worried about Nolan Smith that he didn't hold. He
took off running to go help with Nolan Smith for
having stunned because he was killing them all game and
Jyalen Carter literally was just running upfield. The center was
looking this way because he's thinking, when Jalen Carter comes down,
I have help, so I'm gonna peak. And when he peaked,
(18:34):
Jalen Carter just ran straight to the quarterback because of
what Nolan Smith has been doing.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Gotcha.
Speaker 11 (18:40):
So we talk about Jalen Carter, but people are forgetting
Nolan Smith is playing the best.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
Football he's plays since he's been in the Pro.
Speaker 11 (18:46):
So that's gonna be the X factor. The tandem of
those two.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
Jerald McCoy joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, the
co host of McCoy and Vanoy on Yahoo Sports.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
They didn't want to ask you. We were talking about
this yesterday.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
The tush push Mark Murphy, the Packers president until he
retires in July. It doesn't like to play once it outlawed,
and we were kind of having the discussion. You know,
it doesn't really look like anything else in the NFL
as somebody who played at the highest level on that
defensive line.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
How are you stopping it? Can you stop it?
Speaker 11 (19:20):
For me, I feel like everybody's tried everything. You can
try and lift the center.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
Up, you can try and load the a gaps, you can.
Speaker 11 (19:28):
It is really a matter of Jalen Hurts and his
strength and how he's running it.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
And I mean he has to fall forward for a yard.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Right And by the way, the NFL, he's over seventy
percent for all teams using it.
Speaker 11 (19:40):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So it's it's it's a
matter of how they're using it. And for me, I've
never been a guy where it's like, oh, they shouldn't
run it.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Is it legal? It's legal?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Right, it's legal. Then you got to try to stop it.
Speaker 10 (19:54):
Stop it.
Speaker 11 (19:54):
Don't let him get that let him get that close,
put them in, get them off track, get them off
All Philly does.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Is what Philly does.
Speaker 11 (20:03):
They get in a position where they're close enough to
where they can run this play. If you don't want
them to run it, keep them out of that position.
I don't think you should, Oh we should outlaw this play.
We've already made football so soft. We can't just stop
just oh well, they can't run it, because can't nobody
stop it.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
That's weird.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
I want to transition into just talk about your transition
from football to broadcasting. First off, was it something that
you always envision? And then second you have a unique perspective.
Your last stop with Las Vegas Raiders kind of went
through the whole situation with Gruden everything else, and so
I'm kind of curious to get your thoughts and just
how that season went, how they went down. But then
even now what he's doing with his career also trying
(20:43):
to kind of maybe get back into it more, but
doing it in a unique route through more broadcasting.
Speaker 11 (20:47):
Yeah. So one, yes, I didn't really have a choice.
You know, from the time I can remember all the
way back to being four years old playing Santa in
this cool Christmas play, to being in church and lee
songs and doing promos from my high school and at
Ou and with Tampa, and when I got speaking of
(21:08):
Vegas or when I got injured with the Cowboys, everybody
start calling the media. Do you think he's gonna keep playing.
If he's not, do you think he's ready to start
working his way? I'm like, God, let me quit first,
Like y'all forced me into this.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
I feel like you shined on Hardening and then I
remember watching Hard Hard Knocks.
Speaker 11 (21:28):
What they did is they came to me before and
they said, hey, are you ready to be a star?
And I said, just turn the camera a lot, need
you do push record? I'll do the rest. And that's
just me. It's not where I don't like tryhards when
people are not just themselves. Was it Liam Cohen? He
(21:53):
did whatever he did that.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Was a try hard.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
You're trying to be something that you're not.
Speaker 11 (22:05):
Me me, what I what I am is just what
I am, and that's who I've always been. Cameras don't
bother me, articulate my thoughts, don't bother me. Figuring outside
the box, it don't bother me. So it was kind
of like a writer of passage. And you guys know,
there's nothing that can substitute for that competition on that field,
(22:27):
that locker room to travel, all of it.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
As much as we say, who I'm tired, I'm exhausted.
Speaker 11 (22:32):
At the end of the week, you give anything to
go do it again, so to have to have I
don't want to go back and do it again.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
Jee, I know I'm saying right now, I.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Don't ever want to go back and do it again.
Speaker 11 (22:45):
You didn't know, so what has substitute? I love this,
this substituting for the competition.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Don't get the feeling.
Speaker 11 (22:53):
That's all I'm saying. I will never That's what I'm saying.
And I agree with you, That's what I'm saying. The
feeling I want.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I want that you're doing what you're doing, and I
love being here.
Speaker 8 (23:02):
I love being here and I don't want to go
back and play.
Speaker 11 (23:06):
But when you're done playing, you try and find something
that I was blessed enough to be able to transition
right into this.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Jerald McCoy all pro more importantly a pro bowler when
the Pro Bowl was.
Speaker 12 (23:18):
Really yeah yeah, so the uh, the McCoy and many

Speaker 10 (26:13):
Why don't you.
Speaker 13 (26:13):
Stop trying to get me to say the same things
over and over and over again.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
It's like I'm a jukebox for jokes that you like.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I don't.
Speaker 10 (26:22):
I don't like.
Speaker 13 (26:23):
I don't like seeing what I look like in other markets. Okay,
that's why I don't like going to.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
The super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
I'm we're looking for Petro.
Speaker 13 (26:33):
I am a afternoon drive host and have been for
a good part of I mean over twenty years in
the city of Los Angeles. I have done the afternoon
drive show with with my partner Matt Smith for like
nineteen years. And I went to one Super Bowl one
(26:56):
they made me go in Miami and I saw, awe,
what I look like in Saint Louis the afternoon drive guy,
or what I look like in Boise and what I
look like usually I have some kind of facial hair,
like a goatee of some kind. Uh. I'm almost always
(27:18):
wearing jeans that are maybe five to six years out
of date, which is fine because I don't want to
be dressed like Rob Polenka either, Like I hired a.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
Style Yeah, yeah, what the hell is that?
Speaker 10 (27:28):
I will get into it?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Is it noticeable how old those jeans are? And what
would be the giveaway.
Speaker 13 (27:33):
Piece like Arizona jeans, you know, or something like that Britanna. Yeah,
something something that the guy's wife boughtom fifteen years ago,
you know. And then of course the bacon neck.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
Yeah, the.
Speaker 13 (27:50):
Bacon neck worn at what worn out, washed a thousand times.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
With all the children's clothes.
Speaker 13 (27:57):
Bacon polo representing your whoren crap station, and it always
has some faded out logo right over there man boob
on the left side.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
That says the NFL logo.
Speaker 13 (28:10):
No, it says the ticket, or it says the Beast,
or it says the fan, or it says the show
the couple.
Speaker 10 (28:19):
Yeah, it's just like, you know what, Please God.
Speaker 13 (28:23):
In Heaven, would you stop? I just don't which look.
I respect the genre I and I'm part of it.
I just don't want to see what I look like
in other market.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Just so you know, Petros I sat next to Don
Martin last night at dinner.
Speaker 10 (28:37):
Hello Brady.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
We had a great.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
Conversation we talked. We were talking about you and just
how it all kind of all came together and everything else.
And we're just both you know, kind of showing our
admiration and appreciation for you.
Speaker 10 (28:51):
So I want you to know that.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
But I do want to get back to Rob Pelinka.
Speaker 10 (28:55):
Okay, what is up with that?
Speaker 13 (28:58):
Well, I think what happens. This happened once at the
Fox Seminar, and I don't know you. I think you
were working there at this point, Brady.
Speaker 10 (29:05):
Maybe not.
Speaker 13 (29:06):
It was a I don't know, maybe eight nine years ago,
and we're at the Fox Seminar, you know, same one
every year, same place every year in Rancher, Palas Verdes,
and Troy Aikman showed up and it was just obviously
clear that he had hired a stylist, you know what
I mean. Like, there's one thing, like if you go
to the store with your girlfriend or your wife or something,
(29:29):
and you buy some clothes and you wear them around,
and then fifteen years later you're at the Super Bowl
and you're wearing the same clothes and people are making
fun of you. That's one thing. It's one thing to
just try to keep up in your own way. It's
a whole other thing to hire a stylist four hundreds
of thousands of dollars a year and spend thousands and
(29:50):
thousands of dollars on clothing. That's how you end up
with a jacket on that doesn't fit you and your
sleeves all pushed up.
Speaker 10 (30:00):
Wan showed up once.
Speaker 13 (30:00):
At a at the Taranea literally wearing like an army
jacket with the sleeves pulled up and and like and
and and like a T shirt. But you know, it
wasn't like a T shirt from a Haynes pack. It
was like a T shirt. It's more like a blouse
of some kind.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
I remember this.
Speaker 13 (30:18):
A bluesa and everybody's you know, every because Troy Aikman
used to look normal, right, We have a polo on
and some kakis and he walk around and all of
a sudden, he's all, you know, dressed up and all
greasy and weird and uh and people were like, dude,
when's Troy getting deployed?
Speaker 10 (30:34):
What happened?
Speaker 13 (30:35):
You know it's but you can only really recognize these
things if you know, like he hired a stylist. He
hired some woman named like Ainsley or something, who you
know comes in and and and spends all your money
on stupid clothes that you would never think of putting
yourself in. Hence the reason Rob Polenka was wearing like
(30:56):
a seven sizes too small flight jack with the sleeves
pulled up and a gleaming zipper on during the uh
the Luka Doncicch press conference.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Let's talk about that. What was your what was your
reaction to the trade?
Speaker 13 (31:15):
Well, I mean at first, you know, you think because
for the last whatever however long, Lebron's been here, Like
it doesn't take a weatherman to know which way the
wind is blowing, Lebron James has been in charge. Lebron
James and Clutch Sports have moved into the Laker building
and influenced the Lakers in.
Speaker 10 (31:35):
All kinds of ways.
Speaker 13 (31:37):
If it's right, if it's wrong, I don't know. It
certainly can point to a lot of the reason people
don't find the NBA as entertaining as they.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Used to go.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Two championships under his watch one and it was the Bubble, two.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
The in season, yes, in season champions.
Speaker 10 (31:53):
Oh, I stand corrected, I'm sorry, how dare you so?
Speaker 11 (31:58):
Uh?
Speaker 13 (31:59):
So, all of those things have been happening with Lebron,
whether you like it or not. I mean, they drafted
his son, they hired the coach that he does a
podcast with.
Speaker 10 (32:07):
I mean, it's not really that hard to see.
Speaker 13 (32:10):
And then so you see this happen and you say,
oh my god, Lebron put a knife in the back
of Anthony Davis. Oh god, Clutch Sports. You know they
let Anthony Davis die. I mean, that was my first impression.
And then you start to look at it and you say,
wait a minute. You know they could have done this
to start to jettison Lebron. This is the get away
(32:33):
from Lebron move and how are we going to get
away from Lebron? We have to bring somebody in that's younger,
better and has more influence for whatever the baggage is
in Dallas.
Speaker 10 (32:45):
I mean, there's a lot of talk there, but it
certainly is a shock.
Speaker 13 (32:49):
But I think for people in Los Angeles that find
the Lakers so unsavory now because of what the Lebron
James era has kind of fostered in whether that's right
for those people, I think they feel as if there's
a light at the end of the tunnel, there's a
new superstar, Like there's always a windfall for the Lakers,
and it's not a mistake. I mean, there's always and
(33:13):
nobody really knows the exact details of this, and I'll
throw out some conspiracy theories for you guys, but nobody
knows exactly where this went or or or how it
was fostered in. It's really hard for me to believe
now that we've looked at it a couple days later,
and we see that this guy, like this guy Luka Doncic,
(33:35):
Yes whatever, he's fat and he's drunk, and he's got
like a giant Slovenian or Slovene mafia that hangs around
with a bunch of guys in sweatsuits smoking cigarettes.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
With no beard.
Speaker 10 (33:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (33:47):
Well, the bad guy, his guys look like the bad
guys in the Saint you know, like all that's fine,
Like everybody would just shrug their shoulders and say, yes,
so okay, yeah, let's take him.
Speaker 10 (33:58):
I mean, the guy was the.
Speaker 13 (33:59):
Rookie the year and then the next five years he's
been first team All NBA. That's like four other guys.
No one does no one's ever done that. Lebron never
did that. So what the Lakers have now is somebody
to lean on for the next ten years or theoretically,
and that means Lebron James has apparently lost his power,
(34:21):
which is a great thing for a lot of us,
because the Lakers, it just doesn't feel right that Lebron
James is able to make all these moves. I get it,
He's forty and I don't know how I'm still doing this.
But for most of us, I think in La it's
become a tiresome thing. So this represents a giant shift.
I think, deep down, deep down, I think Genie Buss
(34:44):
called Adam Silver in his coffin and well he looks
like a vampire come on and.
Speaker 10 (34:53):
Asked him to point his undead finger.
Speaker 13 (34:58):
At the situation and fix it, because she probably said, look, we're.
Speaker 10 (35:02):
We have to get out from under this Lebron thing.
You're killing us. We've done what you've asked.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Yeah, how does this make sense for Dallas?
Speaker 10 (35:10):
Well that's a great question, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
Like there's some conspiracy theories out there which we may
get to, you know, after this, but I just I
look at it and go look at what the compensation
was for Kevin Durant with the nets in that trade
and I look at this and I go, this doesn't
make any sense.
Speaker 13 (35:27):
Well, no it doesn't, and that that's what makes you
feel like the NBA is behind this, or that the
NBA is not a real league, you know, all the
different things you see people saying on social media. Because
if Dallas had actually shopped Luka Doncic, there would be ah,
there would be a surplus. I mean, they couldn't even
get Dalton Connect, this great rookie for the Lakers that
(35:49):
shoots really well.
Speaker 10 (35:51):
They didn't get him.
Speaker 13 (35:51):
They could have got that an extra pick, all kinds
of Ronnie. They could could have got Bronnie James. Imagine
the story that that would be in Dallas, throughout the
whole metroplex.
Speaker 10 (36:02):
So I don't really.
Speaker 13 (36:04):
Yeah, I'm not an NBA expert in that kind of way.
I despise the role of the NBA quote unquote insider.
The whole thing is so gross. I mean, sham Sharania.
At least Warzanowski. Yeah, he sold his soul and he
put on the Illuminati hood and he went to ESPN
(36:26):
and all that. But at least Wargnarowski was never in
the lebron pocket, right, Like that was the only news
he never broke was the Clutch people because he wasn't
on the same page as them. Well, Sharon is a
whole different deal. He actually he's on their payroll. I
mean the company that the Sharun balloon works for, Shamsharania,
(36:47):
is literally owned.
Speaker 10 (36:48):
By Clutch Sports. He's working for them.
Speaker 13 (36:52):
So you know, it's almost like the WWF in some
ways at this point.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
But if this means.
Speaker 13 (37:00):
Lebron is gone, and it and and and it seems
like it does because people in LA that really really
really support Lebron and seem to have connections with him
are really really really pissed about this. So that tells you.
That tells you maybe the direction that his camp is in.
I think it's great. I'd love to see if this
meean Lebron is If this means Lebron is closer to
(37:21):
being gone, I think it's the greatest thing ever.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
Petros Papade is joining us here on Fox Sports Radio,
kind of making the point over the past couple of days,
and you kind of reference this. There is a staleness
to the Lebron run here or in Los Angeles, and
the feeling I get is the Dodgers have taken over.
Oh like there's like it's not it's not even close
(37:45):
to the same, you know, level of well, you know,
it's still a Laker town. Like it feels like with
what they've done, how they operate, how ahead of everybody
else they are, the Dodgers have taken over, and there's
just this lagging, stale, hired Lebron run here or in
Los Angeles that I think people are just fed up with.
Speaker 13 (38:05):
Well, yeah, and and Lebron can do no wrong and
he's an icon, and if you say anything bad about him,
you know, the Lebron sexuals get all upset, and and
it's it's a very you know. I had a guy
that texted me yesterday. He's like, you know what, I
understand us homosexuals get a bad rap, But why do
we have to be connected with Lebron?
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Hold on?
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Hold on, where's the connection there? Missing?
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Just what am iut missing there?
Speaker 10 (38:36):
Petross?
Speaker 13 (38:39):
It's just instead of the word homo, you say Lebron
and they.
Speaker 8 (38:42):
Know, oh wow.
Speaker 13 (38:44):
Lebron sexuals. That's what they call him. Friends said, a homosexual?
Speaker 10 (38:50):
What do you want from you?
Speaker 2 (38:53):
You are.
Speaker 13 (38:57):
I'm not the one I got you say, Lebron's sexual
I've gotten text and people are like, hey, don't lump
us in with Lebron.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
How do you How do you get text?
Speaker 4 (39:05):
Do you have that public number you give out?
Speaker 10 (39:07):
Yes, I still have a public number. I get text
right now, while you guys are what's the number?
Speaker 2 (39:11):
What's the secret text? Also, I give the.
Speaker 10 (39:13):
Text out once a year. I'm not going to give
it out on your show.
Speaker 13 (39:16):
It's sponsored by Toyota, the Southern California Toyota dealers.
Speaker 10 (39:19):
We make it easy.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Oh so you're gonna plug, You're gonna plug lots, but
go and get the number.
Speaker 10 (39:24):
Well we're going in a right now, Yes you are.
Speaker 13 (39:27):
I give it out once a year, and some years
I forget to give it out, but believe me, everybody
has it, including you and me.
Speaker 10 (39:35):
Don Martin, let's start in his whole career.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Yes, let me throw one more out at you before
maybe they want to ask you another one too, But
my last one would be uh Cooper cup Oh obviously
that that is coming to it. And how will he
be remembered? Oh yeah, how will he be remembered in
the LA market? I mean we're talking about the incoming
to butter Well, yeah, I mean he'll.
Speaker 13 (40:02):
Be remembered for his monosyllabic answers.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
The greatest Amish player in the history of the city.
Speaker 13 (40:10):
I mean, the one thing I really, I mean, everybody
heard about him because he was remember Big play Va,
the quarterback for Oregon the transfer to Oregon and ran
around a little bit, remember him Vernon Adams.
Speaker 5 (40:24):
Oh yeas Washington or something exactly.
Speaker 13 (40:28):
And he threw the ball to Cooper Cupp And uh,
that's kind of how Cooper Cup became known in the
area because of the Big play Va who went to
Alamany here in southern California.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
And uh, and then and then.
Speaker 13 (40:45):
Of course he showed up at the Rams from a
small school, a record breaking guy from a small school,
and had enormous success.
Speaker 10 (40:54):
But and and fun to watch. But he's been hurt
every year.
Speaker 13 (40:57):
I don't think he's played a full season ever, or
at lest he's not in the last four or five years.
He's over thirty, which blows my mind because I think
of him as a young player, and they already have
Puka Nakua, another LA guy who's a superstar. And I
just I guess, I don't know how he'll be remembered
because he doesn't speak, you know, I guess he'd be
(41:19):
remembered for his long beard, which is I mean, I
don't know if he I mean, the Chargers need a
receiver and he wants to stay in LA and they
need help. Is that too many whites with im? That's
just too much white guy?
Speaker 2 (41:38):
I worked in New England.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
What do you mean you couldn't pull that off at
l A.
Speaker 10 (41:42):
New England. Those aren't little slot guys though. These guys
aren't slot guys.
Speaker 13 (41:45):
These guys are more like real wide receivers that you
can put everywhere. I mean, and it's true though, Like,
come on, Lvar, if they had all those little bitch
slot guys in the NFL when you were playing, they'd
be dead.
Speaker 10 (41:57):
They change the rules.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
I mean that's true, right, I.
Speaker 10 (42:01):
Mean, Danny A. Mondola would be dead.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
I mean they.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Changed the rules because Todd Law was grabbing up Marvin
Harrison's little ass and throwing him on the bi You.
Speaker 13 (42:10):
Know, I like the NFL when Albert Lewis and Dale
Carter could stand at the line of scrimmage and choke
a receiver to death, couldn't even get two yards downfield.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
Those are the good old days. Festros.
Speaker 10 (42:25):
They were Petros.
Speaker 6 (42:30):

mean that's what just is trying to do.

your style.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (43:00):
I tried to send you guys down to Frenchman or
the Davenport Room, but that's too culturally high for you.
Speaker 10 (43:05):
So yes, what season?
Speaker 13 (43:07):
Well, you don't want to go watch a guy play
the trumpet and sing like Louis Armstrong, do you?
Speaker 10 (43:12):

No one that was don't poo poo me bray white

have the best musician of the twentieth century made fun
of him, said, I think the mussel that man was
from a New Orleans Storyville was an orphan nice raised
(43:53):
by the Jewish family, nice as Starr David around Strong.
Speaker 6 (43:58):
Before I let you go, Petri, is what your thoughts?
Your thoughts on a Will Smith's kid wearing a house on.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
His head at the GRAM? It was rocketed, you know.
Speaker 13 (44:07):
I thought he was pretty geeked up about it, and
then he was sad because the Kanye's naked wife showed
up and stole.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Right.
Speaker 10 (44:16):
She was one thing to happen.
Speaker 13 (44:17):
Certain, Yeah, it's one thing to have an alf ro
house on your head, but then you know, somebody shows up,
you know, fully creviced, and it's.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
Like fully like every crevice, yeah, fully you know.
Speaker 13 (44:30):
So, I mean the best is when she drops her
robe and everybody said, whoa, yeah, you hear a paparazzi.
Speaker 10 (44:37):
I go, oh, whoa what I want to do?
Speaker 13 (44:47):
The surf bar, you guys are going to tonight Lucy's.
That's where Drew Brees would go when they would win
the Super Bowl or you know, we'd win a playoff
game or whatever, and after they won the super Bowl
and stand up on the bar to.
Speaker 10 (45:00):
Do his whole chap.
Speaker 4 (45:02):

Speaker 13 (45:10):
It's a I brought Greg Nolan there. That's my h
claim to fame. Oh nice, you guys know who Greg
Nole is. No, Greg Nole is probably the most famous
surfer that ever lived. He's the first guy. He's dead now,
but yeah, I grew up with him. He's a big
old Oh yeah, there would know nothing about surfing. I know,
(45:31):
killed well, there wouldn't be a Kelly Slater or any
of those things. Greg Nole is the first person to
ever like the Hawaiians wouldn't do it. He's the first
person to paddle out at Ya Maya Bay and the
first person to surf all those places.
Speaker 2 (45:44):
So he was like the Tony Hawk of surfing.
Speaker 13 (45:47):
Kind of like he's the first big wave surfer and
you know, without a jet ski or being saved, he
just was. He's an absolute psychopath. He was a big guy.
I mean, he was absolutely safe, I mean complete. You
could read a book. The book is called double d
A b O U L L. Greg Nole. He's an amazing,
(46:08):
amazing man, an amazing story. But anyway, they had a
sandwich named after him there at the Lucy's and I
brought the actual guy in there and it was. It
was quite a quite a to do.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Hey, Petros.
