LeVar Arrington on Brady Quinn, No Jonas Knox Today, He'll
be back Thursday. We've got some some biz nass to
get to. And it starts off with the US Senate.
(01:49):
Are they coming to the rescue of the n C
double A. Well, we've got five Senators Richard Blumenthal, Jerry Moran,
Corey Booker, Chris Coons, and Ted Cruz. They met several
times in recent weeks in connection with the potential bill. Now,
the bill, if it moves forward, it's expected to have
three major components. And these three major components are important
(02:11):
because they basically help college football get back to some
sort of foundation and structure, so we're not dealing with
a lot of what we're hearing, for example, with the
nico Ia Maliava situation. So the first would be a
federal preemption of any state based NIL bill. What that
essentially means is the federal law will rule over state law.
(02:32):
The second would be a declaration that athletes are students
and not employees, which is interesting and key in all
of this, and I think it's key for keeping the
academic component as part of how they're able to participate. Third,
a limited anti trust exemption that would allow the NCAA
(02:53):
and major conferences to enforce eligibility and transfer rules without
fear or liability. And that's probably the most important because
whether it's the NCAA and it's interesting how this is
worded and major conferences because the reality is the power
for conferences that exist control college football and that's really
(03:16):
the biggest bread winner, money maker, however you want to
phrase it. The NCAA cares more about the college basketball term.
That's how they line their pockets. So the third piece
is the biggest. Now, look, some people would suggest, hey, man,
it's probably not a good thing for the government to
get involved, Like usually doesn't make things more efficient, usually doesn't.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Work out well.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
But at this point, it feels like the schools are
hesitant to take control. The NCAA is scared they're just
gonna get sued again. And with a nine h Supreme
Court decision, you can understand that. So you know, look,
universities could always unionize. They can impose restrictions in this
(04:02):
hypothetical world we're talking about, but the reality is is
it's probably tough to do. And so look, if this
goes through, I still think it will be tested in
the courts. I still think that be some players who
feel like they are limited if there is antitrust exemption
(04:23):
provided to the NCAA, because really that's going to limit
some of these players in the ability to maximize their
market value. So even though this it feels like we're
heading in the right direction, and maybe there's a federal
bill it's gonna be passed to help calm this down. Ultimately,
remember you know we've got Congress, okay, the legislative branch,
they're the ones that make the bills. And then you
(04:45):
have the judicial branch. Okay, they interpret the law to
resolve disputes and then ensure justice. So they will potentially
have to see a case that's going to come about
to decide whether or it's just how this is being handled.
At least that's my inter putation where things are going
either way. Do you feel like this is a step
in the right direction, bar or do you feel like
(05:06):
this is only going to make things more messy.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I think whether it's in the right direction or or not,
it's still gonna get messy. Bro, I don't think there's
any I don't think there's any possible way to avoid
mess because it's almost like, you know what this feels like.
I guess I try to give good analogies. I mean,
(05:31):
maybe this is a good one, maybe it's not. We'll
see where we go.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
It's like heading into.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Heading into a body of water that can't handle the
depth and the size of an ocean liner. But instead
of plotting it out and planning and knowing right when
to slow that cruise liner down so that you don't
have any mishaps of it, you know, getting you know,
(06:03):
caught up in into the bottom of the ocean because
it's too close to the shore.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
They they they threw caution.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
To the wind, and now you have a cruise liner
that is all the way up on the beach and
maybe even in parts of the resort that's on the beach.
Q So I feel like this has been so poorly
managed and so poorly handled in the years prior. How
long has this that obandon case been going on for
(06:35):
It's been going on a long, long long time. The
minute that gained any type of momentum. The bodies that
be the universities, the NCAA government, all these different entities
that are connected to college athletics should have been figuring
(06:58):
out what is the structure moving forward. So they are
so far behind that no matter good steps forward.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Or not, it's not going to be enough.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
And I don't know how long that timeframe is that
actually corrects puts enough safeguards in place to stabilize. I'll
say this, if you get to the point, if they
get this thing to the point of where the TV
dollars now start to no, I don't even want to
(07:33):
do that because I just think that there's always going
to be green. There's always going to be people wanted more,
and you just need the perimeter of the parameters and
the different safeguards in place, the structure in place so
that this can be handled in a business manner. Stop
saying that they're student athletes. They are student athletes, but
(07:57):
you cannot sacrifice the the employee aspect of this anymore
like that. That sounds a little bit like disenchanting, disconnected.
Maybe you got to accept the reality of it is
is that these guys are working. You worked when you
played for Notre Dame. I worked when I played for
(08:19):
Penn State. Anybody who has played a college network.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I did work.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
I got an hourly wage at the Office of News
and Information.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And you did more you did, you did more work.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Yeah, my off days. So I'd get a little a
little bit of that driving money some people will call
pizza and beer money.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I used to here you go, So I used to
use it. So we had a.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Great little Italian spot on the south side of town
called Brunos. Shout out to Brunos. They used to have
a buffet. I think they charged like eight bucks ahead.
It was all you could eat. So I'd take the
linement there on Thursday nights and we had a little
set up upstairs. We had that like that, you know,
that Thursday night college football game was on, and so
I would literally take on and Ryan Harris, all right,
(09:00):
who is my left tackle to this day and for
anyone who knows them, and if you see him, you
can send this message to him. I would eat him
under the table with chicken palm. I would crush him
and need more chicken palm. He would complain every single
time that I must have fasted the entire day.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I didn't eat. I saved up for this moment.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I'm not gonna tell him my secret, but I would
crush him in eating chicken pole.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
YEA went with the big the big chicken palms or
the little ones, and they gave you a whole bunch
of them.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
They gave you.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Literally, yeah they're little, you got a whole bunch of them.
And so I think I would probably eat about eight
of those things.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
See, I like those those thin big ones almost look
like small pieces of pizza. You know that they're like
just over the whole entire plate of chicken palm. That's
that's like my favorite. But I get me the doctor rail.
You go ahead, No, it's all right. I mean, I
just think the point is is that there's so much
that has to be done at this point that you're
(09:58):
going to see a lot of casualties. You're going to
see a lot of mistakes, You're going to see a
lot of bad things happen.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Before you start to see good things happen.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
And I just wonder how how long is that going
to take and how much is it going to take
to get college sports more specifically, in my estimation, college
football in a place where it's stabilized because it's not
stable right now, and a bill being passed, a couple
(10:28):
bills being passed, is not going to change a structure
that isn't in place to keep this thing moving and
running in a smooth manner without having young men connected
to the game, maybe even coaches, maybe even universities programs
(10:49):
go unscathed and how things you know, play out and
pan out right now.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
So a couple things that are interesting, you're gont have
to Edo bannoncase. So the Edobannon I believe it was
the the EA Sports NCAA Basketball nine featuring a virtual
UCLA player matching his characteristics. And that's really what I
think drew his attention in wanting to file, so that
(11:17):
this is back in two thousand and nine. He initially
filed this, right, I believe the trial started in twenty fourteen,
and that is where the initial findings and this is
what gets really crazy, all right, if people care about
this stuff. US District Court Judge Claudia Wilkin, now that
(11:38):
name should be familiar to people because she's ultimately who
ended up finding that the NCAA's amateurs and rules were
unreasonable and I believe awarded in the case of Obanon.
It eventually was you know, appealed and the Supreme Court
declined to hear the case. But the reason why I
(12:00):
bring up the judge because it just so happens that
Judge Claudia Wilkin is now presiding over the House NCAA settlement.
So she not only has played a huge role previously
in that abandon case, but now she's handling this current
case with the House NCAA settlement. And I believe they
actually sent through last night some revisions to what the
(12:23):
settlement will be, one of them being that there was
a question about roster limits. It doesn't look look like
there'll be a change there, but they're still trying to
iron out what the settlement will look like. You know,
what role, for example, collectives will have and to what degree.
Probably some issues surrounding Title nine still, which is not
(12:44):
a lot of clarity on what that will look like.
But the same Judge Claudia Wilkin will impact college sports
in a huge way forever.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Moving forward.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Now again going back to the five centers, the one
nice thing is you've get people from both sides of
the aisle. You have Democrats, you have Republicans that working
together try to find a solution. That's how government should work.
Whether or not that'll last, we'll have to.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Wait and see.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
My concern and my worry is is it still doesn't
ultimately protect the student athlete. Because with these anti trust
exemptions that will allow the NCAA and major conferences to
enforce eligibility and transfer rules, it's all going to be
in favor of the schools. It's going to be a
similar structure, just with revenue sharing for the student athlete.
(13:33):
And maybe people want that, but I'm kind of personally
looking at saying I'd rather these young men and women
find a way of unionizing so they have a little
more of a fair opportunity in bargaining for a collective
bargaining you know, agreement with some sort of CBA, so
they have better you know, for example, more fair pay potentially,
(13:55):
you know, after they're done and playing for these schools,
depending on the eligibility limits. There's something on the table
now for five years of eligibility. You know, it used
to be four. It's one of the reasons why I
feel like you kind of got to throw asterisk next
to some of these stats, because when guys are playing
college for six or seven years, and they have all
these years of eligibilities that are coounting for their cumultive stats.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
They're not all the same, folks.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
I hate to break that to you, Like you can't
look at a guy who's played college for six years
and go, oh, yeah, look what he threw for. It's like, well, yeah,
he played for six years.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
You know, it's not quite the same.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
But the general point is, you know, once they're done playing,
hopefully there's some pro post career player benefits as well
at some point. At least that's how I would see it.
I mean, the structure is gonna be very similar to
the NFLPA at least for football, or the NBA Players
Union as well. I would think when it's also and done,
I would imagine it's going in that direction.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
It's just so much that's going to have to happen,
and how does it happen?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
How is there.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Any unforeseen Like if if were you, what would you
think could be an unforced foreseen type of glitch or
snag that could take place in terms of getting things
where they're stable a stabilized system, Like is there another
ad Obannon case that we're not thinking about or seeing
(15:19):
I can recall back to the beginning when that came
out and that filing took place. People were kind of
shrugging it off and laughing at it Q like they
weren't taking that that seriously, and then all of a sudden, it's.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Like, wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I can recall people, Oh, he's a car salesman, da
da da. Oh he's broke, he needs money. I can
remember the things that were being said about ad Obannon,
So it clearly stated or or kind of established that
people didn't see or understand it in the way of
which it ended up unfolding and creating and causing to
(15:54):
where we are today presently. Is there any is there
anything else that comes up, like, can you think of
something that may be yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I mean to me, to me, it'll be surrounding around.
I think the educational component. That's that's where I feel
like there'll be a sticking point. I think Title nine
and the educational component are what's going to be tough
to figure out. And people think it's simple, but it's not.
I mean, and you've brought it up before. You know,
semesters versus quarters. You know how a lot of those
(16:26):
credits transfer, how they don't if that plays a role
in the eligibility of a player, how they go about
figuring that out. I mean Title nine for example, I've
said this before. You know, we all know there's gonna
be revenue sharing with the House NCA settlement, but we
don't know how it's gonna be divvied up. Is it
going to be equal for both men and women? So
if you have, let's say twenty million for round numbers,
(16:46):
men sports get ten, women's sports get ten, or is
that not going to be the case? Are you going
to mandate or dictate to schools, you know, how much
they can spend on what sports? Are you gonna you know,
basically say no, you have complete autonomy to choose how
you want to spend that money, but you have to
probably provide the same amount of opportunities for men and women.
(17:08):
And how you're constructing you know, what they're doing to
earn this right. So there's all sorts of different, you know,
ways this can be constructed. But I think also could
you could find issues with But that's for someone smarter
than me. I think it's I think it's a step
in the right direction to see that there's a sense
of urgency at least from some entity, whether it's the
(17:29):
government or anyone else for that matter. But I do
still feel like it's a long road ahead before we're
going to be able to find a solution for where
we're at in college sports. So that's just me though.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Come up next to to go ahead, I said, I
think you're pretty accurate there. Well, I don't know. We'll see.
We'll see.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Coming up next though, in Two Pros and a Cup
of Joe, a fall from Grace, but we'll stick. We'll

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Lead a lab.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Not exactly what you'd hope for when you hear the
name of the series The Fall of Farv one of
those beloved players during his time and playing the game.
Brett Favre It's gonna be a documentary. It's gonna air
on May twentieth, and it looks into the Jen Sturger
situation when he was with the New York Jets and
(20:06):
explores the Mississippi welfare scandal, which resulted in one lawsuit
against Farvre and two deformation lawsuits tread lightley by him,
I think one versus Shannon Sharp, one versus Pat McAfee.
So farv declined to be interviewed for this documentary and
look based on you know how the past has gone.
(20:28):
My money's on another defamation lawsuit servicing by far against Netflix. Ever,
wonders studios, who's part of the production Times Studios and
front off of Sports. There might be four more coming,
But are you guys gonna watch this? It's it's still
a month away. But the fact that this is airing
(20:48):
just a little bit on I mean, I feel like
Brett Farr was one of the most beloved players in
NFL history.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Go you're you're a Green Bay Packer fan, Go ahead,
go ahead. Birthday boy, by the way, everyone out there,
it is lead the lapse birthday today, So happy birthday lead.
Go ahead, jump jump on your jump on your daily lead.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Oh so many tragedies in one day.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yes, uh, Lorena clearly has given him a solution to
one of his ailing afflictions queue, which is he's.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Ashy as hell.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I don't know, I don't understand that for a white dude,
how y'all could get so ashy. But apparently he's so
ashy that Lorena had to buy him a big ass
bottle of extra lotion for extra, extra, extra, extra, extra
dry skin.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Apparently she didn't think that was weird at all and
has shared that with the world. Hold a big bottle
of a Veno lotion.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And every man thought the same exact thing when they
saw it.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Yep, that's going in a week, all right, gret could
use it. I'm sure Brett.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Probably has used that a Veno.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
Yeah, there, you got a thoughtful gift.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
It is.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
It is a very thoughtful gift because I, yeah, I
honestly don't have my own, so I can use it,
and that's why I am so ashy. Thank you, Lorena. Yeah, man,
I mean, unfortunately, I will probably be tuning into this
the day it drops. What which is May twentieth, Netflix
uh for the Untold series. I think it's called Untold series, right.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Fall of FARV That is correct?
Speaker 8 (22:26):
Yeah, that's a it's you know, I've It's like I
remember back in the day before I was even working
at Fox Sports Radio of somebody telling me the rumor
about what was going on in New York with Jen Sturger,
and I did not want to believe it.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Lad, do you want to divulge anything more on that?
Speaker 7 (22:42):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (22:42):
Yeah, yeah, that he was a scumbag kind of pulling
some scumbag moves.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
At least off his watch.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:51):
Yeah, showed off his watch collection and his crocs which
were like brand new at the time, you know, very
new fashion statement which gave him away quiet unless it's
like the best ruse ever were like, I bet I
could figure this out.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Just put on some crocks in a geo in a geoshock.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Dang.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
You know, I I'm the biggest far of apologists slash fan,
I won't say apologist, but the biggest fan you could find.
So it's hard.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
It's one of those things you like, don't meet your heroes,
but I mean far is obviously a hero to so
many people who are NFL fans.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Uh So it's hard for those who are in that
in that group, but I'll be watching and uh try
to keep an objective mind about it.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
It's how many Jerseys do you have?
Speaker 8 (23:40):
Lee, I have everything butt of Vikings, Jersey. I in
fact have a Falcons far of Jersey. I have a
Falcons obviously, a Green Bay. I think I have several
Green Bay Packers far of Jerseys and even a Jets
far of Jersey that I rock from time to time.
But I never could bring my have to wear the
(24:00):
purple because I am a diehard Packers fan.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
So that's the shame of it.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
But by the way, the birthday gifts didn't stop at
as she lotion, you know, uh treatment. But there looks
to be Tito's involved with the situation as well, so.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I'll be interested to see.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Well, I'm curious if it'll make it through our three
of the show or if it's already gone out, you
know before.
Speaker 8 (24:32):
I actually got him four mini bottles, Okay, she knows
I'm a fan of the minis.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Yeah, well individually wrapped with balloons attached to each.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Yeah, four balloons, four mini bottles. But I have already
talked to Todd this morning. He called about half an
hour ago. Yeah, Todd called the hotline.
Speaker 9 (24:49):
Actually, Leah's saving the bottles for Todd and I at
the Do we want to have Todd come on at
some point?
Speaker 5 (24:55):
I thought about it, but he's he I saw him
actually earlier tonight. He's, uh, yeah, he's a little dude.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
But it's your birthday, bude. Like, we need to have
Todd calling the next segment? Can we can we set
that up?
Speaker 8 (25:06):
I'll try and see if he hasn't yeah, passed out
by now. We talked to him about forty five minutes ago.
He might still be up.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
He should text them see if he's up. Well, Todd calling.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
The next segment. I'd rather talk about that then you
know what we have on the rundown. I'll say this
very quickly before I finish.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Up with with with Lee obviously, but I will not
probably watch it unless I'm tremendously excruciatingly bored. I'll watch
it because I've already watched. There's at least the type
of people to watch these, though you watch I do
watch them like like this is like on some Aaron
(25:45):
Hernandez type action, right, It's like how many is enough?
How many times are you going to tell the story
like we've seen it once. Okay, he came back, you
did it again. We saw it twice. I mean, I
get it, but I gues he hasn't killed anybody. But
I also get the fact that they're telling Brett Favre's story.
This will be like what I mean, you're a big
(26:05):
fan of them, Like we just said, Lee.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
How many how many document.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Docuseries or docu whatever it is of Brett fav with this,
make like.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Three or four of the scandals he probably three or
four correct.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Like one was on I D. I believe that the
channel I D there was another one somewhat.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Was it a thirty for thirty? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
There's like two or three of them that are already
out there, because I know I watched them.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (26:33):
So I don't there was probably a TMZ.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
All I know is there's already the story's already been told.
You're coming out to tell it again. It's like, how
many times do you need to tell us that Brett
Favre took money from this to do for that?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
How many times are you going to talk about.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
His his his silver Fox and all that, like how
many times you gonna do it? Like like, let that
man be, where are you going to be as it's
it's happened. But that's my take on it. But back
to you, Lee, what what in terms of gifts that
you've received in the studio today and the care that
(27:10):
was taken. Did you receive any gifts or plan on
receiving any gifts at home?
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (27:16):
No, No, I'm not. I tell people not to give
me gifts. I kind of tried it.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
You could tell people not to, but people still give gifts,
especially if they're like you know your other and they
care and it matters.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
They take time to make sure that.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
They gift wrap them individually and make sure they sure
very special to and that they feel very special and
that they're improving themselves by not being ashy.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
What were you planning on doing there with?
Speaker 8 (27:48):
What was she she's decorated with?
Speaker 10 (27:52):
What?
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (27:52):
I did decorate the studios.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
We've got Yeah, we've got balloons, We've got I don't
know what you call these fans.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Is there a chance that Lorena is closing the gap
in order and in terms to get to the final
destination of it literally being official that it's Lee, Reina.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
It is Lorena. Lorena. Le Rena has the ring for
for work wife.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I'm work husband.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
We're good to get, We're ready to run.
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Coop is officially always jealous every morning. He was very
jealous this morning that, hey, you ate your cupcake?
Speaker 2 (28:27):
She made me.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
She has a hold on a second second, doesn't Coop
get Lorena before you?
Speaker 5 (28:34):
Yes, it sounds horrible.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
You are a sloppy second though. Lucky Lee you are
you are second.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
I'm saying Coop works with you, Lorena before the shift
that you.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Work with Lee, and more hours too. He gets a
whole extra hour.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Than leeas Oh, I mean Lee, I'm just saying, Man, hey, Man,
no worries man, whoever's there at the finish line, you
know what I'm saying at the end of the hold
on though, Like, so let's go back to the finish line.
What is the finish line? Lead Like you're saying, oh, her.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
Being wife happen here of aar But I'm just.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Saying, I mean, she clearly like wants you to feel
special Lee, Like, can you not reciprocate? Do you have
you not been in a great situation to actually know
how to reciprocate, bro.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
I think I'm a very very good workmate, work husband.
I think we have a great working relationship.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
We had.
Speaker 8 (29:30):
We put on a great show. Every now and then
I snap and she, you know, she puts me in
my place as as she should. And uh yeah, you know,
I think.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
We all have great relationships. Here on two pros and
a cup of Joe. In fact, I just talked to Todd.
Todd says he's good to go next segment unless you,
guys all.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
I can't wait for that. We've got to make sure
we save enough time for that. So uh not that
we need to go anywhere quick, but let's just put
a cap on the conversation. As far as the fall
of farv uh Var, you said you will not want.
I don't know that I will either. I'll probably just
click on the clips that make their way on social
(30:08):
media and do what everyone else does and just judge
the book by its cover, because that's essentially what we
do in this society, and I don't really have much
time to do much else.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
I've always been a big Brett Pharfaan love the way
he played the game. Lee. I think you said it
best you know, don't don't meet your heroes. I think
the more you kind of pull back the curtains on people,
we all got problems, we all have made mistakes, and
it's unfortunate that, you know, this stuff has to become public.
But look for someone right like Jenn Sturger, who feels
(30:40):
like maybe she's been wronged. Maybe she feels a degree
of justice for those who were wronged in the state
of Mississippi with the whole welfare welfare scandal, if there
is legitimate legitimacy to it, which I haven't seen anything
one way or another. It seems like it's hard to
pin down what exactly happened, even though there's a lot
of theories out there. You feel bad for those people,
(31:01):
and you feel like this, in a way, at least
in the court of public opinion, is a way of
serving justice to someone who has wronged them.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
So if that's the case, so be it.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
But it sounds like Brett Favre did not participate in this,
and so, like I said, there will be continuing litigation
or some sort of lawsuit that's gonna be brought about
from all this. I'm sure what it's all said and done,
So we got.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
To take a break.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Coming up next on Two Pros and a Cup of Joe,
we could talk about Caleb Williams and his comments airing
out Matty Ebraflus. We could talk about some other stuff too,
but no, we've got the birthday boy lead a lap
and his best friend, his wingman, calling in to serenade
him and most likely say some things that gonna get dumped.
Coming up next here on Fox Sports.
Speaker 6 (31:50):

and a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington,

entire show.

I can only imagine you and him on Bourbon Street together.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
That would have been a disaster.
Speaker 4 (39:52):

didn't he come visit during Super Bowl week? We would
have made all the sense in the world.

extra you know, extra room for him.

Speaker 5 (40:08):
Well, I'm just saying I can.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
You know I can make it too, because we paid
for his food all week. Like you had enough despair
to bring Todd in, you know, stay with him.
Speaker 4 (40:16):
Come on, man, I wish I could say I paid
for all these drinks, but I'm pretty sure he snuck
out of the bar a number of times and kept
drinking without us.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
That's true. That was when he went to the Highland Wolf.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Wolf.
