(01:01):

Speaker 4 (01:06):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Good morning? Hello, Hello Brady, how we go? LaVar? Hello LeVar, Hello.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Brad Good morning, sir, Good morning, good morning. I'm here,
you're here, You're ready to go. I'm gonna start off
by asking you this.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I wanted to mention this yesterday and I saw you
I think it put something out on social media about it.
Jackie Robinson Day, Big day yesterday in Major League Baseball
four fifteen. Talked to us a little bit about the Dodgers,
but just the significance of that day, in particular.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
The Jackie Robinson Day is always significant when it comes
to the Dodgers. Yesterday, they I mean, they built a
statuet Jackie Robinson a few years back, and that was
cool and like kind of a place to gather for
Jackie Robinson Day if the Dodgers are at home, and
(01:57):
then they kind of built this whole sort of beautiful
center field pavilion area around it, so it really is
kind of a great destination. So yesterday they had Kareem
Abdul Jabbar address the Rockies and the Dodgers, which is
really interesting connection because I mean most of these players,
(02:18):
I mean they never saw Kareem play, of course, and
they made a lot of them maybe never even saw airplane.
But everybody knows who Kareem is and his records and
things like that. And there's a great connection because Kareem
was from New York Harlem and came out to LA
probably because they paid him a whole bunch, but also
(02:38):
because his father, who was a NYPD guy, grew up
loving the Brooklyn Dodgers and idolizing Jackie Robinson. So and
they and Jackie and Kareem both went to UCLA, where
Jackie lettered in like five hundred sports and so of course,
of course breaking the color barrier.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And all that.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
And we've had interviews with a lot of people that
knew Jackie Robinson really well over the years that we've
been on. Of course they've passed on Vin Scully and
Don Newcombe the great pitcher, but we got some perspective
on him, and we're able to kind of go back
and play some of those interviews and some of the
(03:22):
sound bites and things like that over the years, which
is always gratifying.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
So, yeah, it's a great it's a great day for baseball.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Everybody wears the number, you know, and it's a little confusing, right,
you know, if you if you just kind of checked
the highlights, you know, everybody's wearing the number, and it's
a little it's a little odd, but there was a
complete and total reasoning behind that, which was the Brooklyn Dodgers,
you know, when they were executing breaking the color Barry
(03:55):
and baseball, and there was a lot of pushback. Some
of the Brooklyn Dodgers suggested that they all wear Jackie's number,
so you know, no one could tell the difference from
far away while they were.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Watching the game.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
So that is a part of the significance of why
everybody wears the number forty two on the day. But
always very nice to remember and always something great to celebrate.
And it's good that the Dodgers and everybody kind of
take time out of the grind of the baseball season
to stop and listen to a speaker and and kind
of tell everybody's what's happening and what's significant.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
I'm gonna switch gears and shots out in respect to
Jackie Robinson and the family, clearly living in west Well,
Southern California.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Lettered in football Levart, I know it is field.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
I lived in in Alhambra and I live, I mean
right next to Pasadena. And if you live next to Pasadena,
one thing that you will be reminded of every day
pretty much. There's a jack Robinson Park, there's Jackie Robinson
things everywhere. People love the legacy and the memories of
(05:08):
Jackie Robinson and what he represented. So you see that
pretty much every day out here, which is super super cool,
the amount of love and admiration that he garnered for
the things that he did. I'm gonna switch gears and
ask you about this pe. You know, for so many
things that we talk about with USC, I think this
(05:29):
one time, and I'm not saying this is the one time,
but I'm just saying this is one time where you
could look at USC and the coaching staff when they
brought in Lincoln Rally, and you could say, man, like,
maybe some.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Things went wrong, maybe some things.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Could be better.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
But I'll say this, with everything that's taking place with Tennessee,
don't you kind of look at Lincoln Rally now and
be like, man, he did an excellent job of being
able to get Caleb Williams, to get Addison guys like that. Yeah,
into USC, because we're looking at a mess right now
that's taking place at Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Well, in regards to Lincoln Riley and how it relates
to him. I mean, I think all these big time coaches, now,
if you have a quarterback who's accomplished, it looks like
you're negotiating with that guy, or you have to negotiate
with that guy all the time, or some of these
coaches are. And yeah, absolutely it's a mess. But I
(06:30):
mean Lincoln Riley brought Caleb Williams in and all those
other transfers and us he is recruiting a lot better,
flipping a lot of guys from Oregon, doing a great
job with the new GM. Apparently don't don't. I don't
usually give a lot of weight to off season parties,
(06:50):
and oh my god, look who they recruited, Look who
they're who they're bringing in. And thus you see it
on the field. And Lincoln Riley's team has been worse
and worse and worse every year since the very first year.
After they lost to Utah the second time in the
Pac twelve Championship and did not go to the College
Football Playoff and ended up losing to Tulane in the
(07:13):
Sugar Bowl, Lincoln Riley said, this is the worst will
ever be rest assured will never be this bad again.
And they have been exponentially worse every year from now on.
So you like, I agree with you what you said.
USC has their own problems hypel handling this situation or
(07:33):
what this was. I mean, you live in high school
football in this area, LeVar very intensely over the last
I don't know, six years, and the kid, Nico Iiamayava's
had a lot of red flags for that time. You know,
I mean, I have nothing against the kid. I have
nothing against his family. I only hear rumors about it,
but I mean there's enough rumors and enough there to say, Okay, yeah,
(07:58):
these are going to be a very difficult group of
people to deal with the more success or whatever that
this kid has. And it came to a head with
something we've never seen before. Somebody trying to hold out
during spring practice. And you know I heard somebody make
the argument, well, this was exactly what coaches do. It's like, no, well,
(08:20):
you know, I've never seen spring practice start, and everybody's like,
where's the head coach?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
He's holding out.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
I mean, it's one thing for Tommy Tubberville to leave
during like a recruiting dinner in February. It's a whole
other thing for a guy to hold out for spring practice.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
What does it mean?
Speaker 5 (08:36):
What does it do to Nico Amayava's are going to
backfire on him? Kind of like it did Mike Williams
the receiver and Maurice Clarett. Remember that when they tried
to buck the NFL's three year thing and go right
into the league. That really hurt those guys. So I
don't know. I mean, people keep saying like North Carolina
was in the mix, and I was like, I could
(08:57):
kind of believe that people were saying Tulanes in the mix.
They're not even a power for right, I mean, does
Tulane have enough money? They don't even have enough money
for the right Marti Gras colors for their team.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's why they're all right. I mean, suh, suh.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Can you scrape the kaffers for this young quarterback to
come to the Garden District.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I mean, that's not happening. I mean, and then you.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
See LA four million dollars or any two million, anything
comparable to what he was getting at Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
That's not gonna happen either.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
So I think the market is kind of pushing back
against Nico i am Mayava. And you could say, like
if Nico iam Ayava didn't have all these different red
flags and different stuff that had happened over the years
as far as leadership and stuff like that goes. Maybe
they would pay them. Maybe we would never know this story,
but I think that they've had enough of it and
(09:54):
Tennessee just kind of took their ball and went home.
What does it mean for the kid or the future?
It's a great question, Labar.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I mean, it's an absolute. I think you described it
really well. It's a mess. But you can't I mean,
I don't care how good the player is, you can't
let him hold the whole team over the barrel for
spring practice.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
D there's a part of you. I've got actually a
couple of questions on the topic.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Does a part of you look at though, how it's
working out and think maybe it's kind of a good
thing because it's like a you know, for others that
try to fall in the footsteps of Nico, it doesn't
always mean that you're gonna find the offer or the
opportunity you're looking for.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Yeah, and it's gonna be a lesson for others. And
we'll see where this kid ends up landing. I God,
I hope he goes back to Tennessee and figures it
out maybe, oh, no way, maybe that horse has left
the barn.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Yeah, that can't happen.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
But but I mean when when I saw the three
schools that were in the mix, I mean, there's none
of those schools. I mean UCLA would take two million
dollars that they're giving nico A Mayava and distribute it
for the rest of the football team. And that's probably
the same thing that would happen with with North Carolina
and Tulane. That the whole we were in the mix
(11:04):
to bring in this transfer quarterback kind of reminded me
of like somebody in like a school auction where you
want people to see you put your paddle up, but
you don't want to win the actual auction, right, You
don't want to spend ten thous you.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yeah, have done that.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
You have done that in your life about it.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I've seen people do it. Though, It's like, now you
end up spending fifteen thousand dollars. You got to go
to the Cook.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Islands, buddy, I literally had a bad experience doing that
last year at a charney.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
What did you tell you?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Well, what what we agreed to?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
At one point was that me and another guy were
gonna split it. And then then they came back and
say no, no, no, no, you guys both can do it.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
You both which which raises more for the charity.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So I was like, yeah, both can pay twenty thousand.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Yeah it was it wasn't that much.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
But then but when they came back with that, I
was like, oh, man, no, I can't back out of this.
So we we both agreed to do it. And basically
it's yet to come to fruition. Like what what we were,
what we were sold, we were going to get exchange
for the donation has yet to come to fruition.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
So, I mean, I don't know how many times I've
sold spend the day with Petros.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
You know.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
God, no one ever like calls me and goes, hey,
remember you said you'd spend the day with me. It's like,
no one else where can I bid on that? No
one ever collects on those where can I bid on that.
I'll tell you the next time anybody asked me please.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I'm gonna do it, and I'm gonna tell my I'm
gonna tell my wife and my family. I'm going out
to cash in on an auction item and I'm hanging
out with Petros for a day.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
It is sad because, I mean, you just kind of
feel like that was all those other teams were interested in.
I mean, if you listen to all of the message
boards and different things, people are really acting like this
kid is going to come to UCLA.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I don't. I don't see that, but but I wish
the young man good luck. I mean, I don't.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
I hate having to criticize twenty year olds, but that's
what I do for a living.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So there you go.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Let me switch gears on you to the team that
everybody talks about outside of the Dallas Cowboys in the
off season. The well, that's a good one too. That's
a good one too. And I could have gone down
that lane. And you know what, I'm gonna stay away
from it.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Cornell Stewart coming on deck.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Dang, I'm gonna use the topic the question that I
have prepared for you, because I prepare for this show very,
very intensively. Petros in fact, the most out of any
of the other guys that are on this show. So yes, sir, so,
I want to stay disciplined to what I was going
to ask you, and so and so I wanted to
(13:47):
throw this one out at you pee the Lakers that
now there's the whole playoffs debate that's going on right now,
and there seems to be so much optimism towards what
the Lakers can do in this year's playoffs.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Your what's your take on it?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Do you think that they with the addition of Luca,
with the subtraction of Anthony, you know what Anthony did?
What's his name? Tell me again, I'm looking at Davis.
Do they have a fear in your estimation? Do they
have a fair opportunity to make a run for the finals?
Do you think they should be favored it to to
(14:28):
win it?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
I don't know if they should be the favorite because,
like you said, we haven't really seen this machination of
this Laker group in the playoffs. I think the one thing,
I mean, for all the offseason talk and most of.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
It was about Brownie James, and we don't need to go.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Down that road as as everybody sees how the year
ended up. But JJ Redick was a huge success. I
mean JJ Redick and how JJ Reddick. I mean, nobody
likes to be condescended to or just you know, heavily
side throughout every postgame press conference.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
But he has done a great job.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
And then they switched it up on him, like you said,
with Ad, and he's done an even better job adapting
to the new roster and getting role players going around
Lebron James, which obviously is not easy and that's.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Been proven over the years.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
I don't know how it translates into playoff basketball. Everybody
talks about how they don't have any bigs and now
they're going to take on the Minnesota Tea Wolves and
they have Rudy Gobert and he's going to be doing
his his Frenchman thing out there. So it'll be interesting
to see how it all translates. The one thing in
this play in era or whatever we're doing now in
(15:46):
the NBA, this is the first time in LA that
we've had the Clippers and the Lakers in recent memory
really kind of surging into the playoffs. Maybe it felt
that way and twenty twenty to a certain degree, and
then the year ended abruptly and they ended up in
the double with Rachel Nichols and all that. But this
(16:09):
is the first time that the Clippers are playing at
a really high level with Kawhi Leonard and Aviza Zubats
and James Harden playing really well, although he does end
up disappearing in pivotal games in the playoffs, at least
he has recently. And then you have the Lakers and
they both but the other thing is they both have
(16:30):
such an intense matchup in the first round. I mean,
the Clippers have to take on the Denver Nuggets, who
have had some issues and yeah they're volatile, but they're
still the Denver Nuggets and they have the toughest matchup
in the NBA and Nikolajokich and the Lakers have Anthony
Edwards who's got four kids by four baby moms.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Did you know that four for four?
Speaker 5 (16:52):
You mean, I know they were chanting about child support
and I was like, oh god, what does he have
a kid or something?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It's like four by four like an in and out.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I mean, here's the logic that you've got. I've got five.
I've got five spread out over like eight and a
half years. I mean, if you could at five, well yes, yeah,
but I'm saying if you could, if you wouldn't have
five kids, four kids, if you could bold it up
into like a year or two, you kind of get
(17:22):
through that wave of the baby phase into like toddler,
you know, toddler, and then into adolescents. Like not the
worst way of looking at right, just trying to look
at the positive of it.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
You could build a whole village if you do it,
if you do.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
It without that.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Okay, I thought you were co signing on that. Maybe not.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I mean no, I'm just saying that.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
I mean they will both if the Lakers and Clippers,
and they don't share the same stadium anymore, so we
can't call it the Hallway series.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Don't share the same yeah, about to say the same hotels?
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Right, So, so the Lakers and Clippers, they are surging into.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
The playoffs, but it would be really cool.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
If they have to meet in the Western Conference finals,
and that probably won't happen, but it would be great
to see him both get out of the first round,
even though they have really intense matchups. But to be honest, LeVar,
I don't know how it translates to playoff basketball, but
they certainly have been impressive down the stretch. And you know,
(18:22):
the story really isn't Lebron anymore, And I think that
really bothers Lebron and his people but the story is
Luka Doncic, and Luka Doncic is Jersey is number one
and all of those different things, and we'll see how
he performs. He was spectacular last year in the playoffs
and took him all the way to the finals of
Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
So we'll see.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
He I want I want to follow up on a
question QS earlier, just super quickly, and he made the point,
is it a what does Dallas have to do in
order for the fans not to melt down over, you know,
losing Luca to the Lakers. I would pose the same question,
what do the Lakers have to do in order for
(19:05):
Lakers fans to be appeased or happy or satisfied with
this season? Does has it already happened or does it
have to happen with this playoff run?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Yeah, I think disappointment in the playoffs brings you right
back to whatever. But I don't think you're that back there. No,
I disagree with the statement I just made. Laker fans
have a twenty what is he twenty six? They have
a twenty six year old superstar. Maybe he vapes or
hookahs or likes vodka and beer, but he's still one
(19:35):
of the top three best players in the NBA at
he's twenty six. So the Lakers have a future around
Luka Doncic and that they did not have that a
month and a half ago, and or whatever. That is
what's changed. That is the seismic shift in the world
of basketball on the West Coast. So I think that
(19:58):
regardless of what happens here with the Lebron built team
and the Lebron coach and Lebron being Lebron and his doll,
I think that the future under Luka Doncic is really
what people are looking to. If they make a run
and people start talking about another championship, batt'll change and
(20:18):
God willing will be talking between then and now.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I actually want to go back to the topic of
kind of Nico and not talking about him specifically, but
more how he got here. And I'm wondering because in
the state of California, you know, players can earn money
off their name.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Image and lights in high school. In fact, like I
wasn't even aware of this.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Many states had approved this, but there's forty states in
the US where that's the case, And so I guess
I'm just kind of going back to maybe his parents' perspective,
his perspective.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
I mean, how much of a rule does that play?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
I mean it's such a foggy gray area, right, Brady,
because we all were raised Now, I didn't play quarterback,
which is a different thing. I mean we all know that,
and obviously LaVar is one of the great players at
his position in a generation. So maybe it doesn't translate,
you know, to you guys personally, but I think it does.
(21:13):
I mean we I mean, when you play football, you
know the message is big team, little me, right, I mean,
you know, you're supposed to think about the team. You're
supposed to think about your teammates. You're supposed to show
your teammates that even though you're a mega talented player
like Brady quann or LeVar Arrington, that we're all in
this together. We're all at the same training table, we
(21:37):
all wear the same mess shorts.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
You know that that's part of a football team.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
And individuals on a football team were acting individually selfish
normally does not translate well to a team dynamic. Now,
we all know what teams are like, and there's a
pecking order and guys that are more talented and higher
recruits and maybe even not more, but just bigger recruits
that treat it a different way than maybe some guys
(22:04):
that have to earn it a little bit differently. We
all know those stories, and not everything is always equal,
but we are all raised to think about the team
before you think about yourself, and you throw the number
next to everybody's name into the mix, and you know,
at the NFL level, when you guys get up there,
(22:24):
you get the impression that at a certain point, everybody's
mature enough to deal with the fact that everybody's getting paid,
everybody's worth a certain amount of money, everybody's.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Trying to stay in the league.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
But in college football we get this weird gray area
between what are you willing to sacrifice for the team
and hey, I'm a big time player, what is the
team willing to do for me? You know, this quarterback
over here is getting paid X amount of money. I'm
not getting as much. My deal happened earlier than his.
You know, the same stuff that happens in the NFL
(22:56):
with less mature and less qualified people who have less
mature and less qualified people advising them. So what LVAR
said when we started the conversation about this situation holds true.
It's a mess, and it is going to be really
hard to I mean, it's just really hard to moralize
(23:16):
it under the kind of football mentality that I grew
up playing. But at the same time I understand it.
I mean, how long is this guy going to play football?
There's money out there. The problem is you want to
if you're playing college football and you're a really big
time playing, you want to be compensated comparable to how
other guys like that are playing like you are compensated
(23:37):
around the country. But you also don't want to cause
so much trouble and make so much of a stink
to where the NFL and people at that level hear
the rumblings about you and you get labeled as somebody
who's not easy to work with or team orient I
think I was.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
More just pointing out the perspective that that's our perspective
because we.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Grew up in that. Our parents ton't know any different.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Nowadays, these kids in junior high are looking at their
high school destinations because they can start becoming a household
brand at least in that local area in the state
what have you, and actually earn an I all moneys
at the high school level now in forty states, So
that perspective that we share is just very different from
I think maybe how parents even players are looking now, right, I.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Think it is, but I still think you build a
football team in the same way.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Without no and everyone believes that.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
But I just think again, the perspective of that player, though,
is changing at a very rapid young age.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
So we could talk about this forever. We're up against
the break.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I want to ask you this though we didn't ask
you about Shador Sanders, Travis Hunters Jerseys being retired of Colorado.
I gotta get your take on this, well, Travis Hunter.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
I mean, the guy won the Heisman Trophy, right, So
I mean it's but it's it's highly questionable. You can
argue about like, look, I look at how much they
change the program and all these different things. But I
mean just take d On Figures, the cornerback who also
wore the number two for CU. He won the championship
in nineteen ninety. Jim Thorpe Award winner, Jack Tatum Award,
(25:09):
consensus All American Big Eight Defensive Player of the Year,
first round pick College.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Football Hall of Fame not retired.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
I mean Rashan Salam God rest his soul, who won
the Heisman, awaited a decade plus to twenty.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Years to have his number retired there.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
And I know numbers are retired for different reasons and
all that, but highly questionable a true stretch to retire
Shader Sanders numbers after a ten and eight career at
Colorado from transferring in from Jackson. That's my opinion. I'm
sure there'll be a lot of debate about it. I
(25:49):
heard one reporter say at least they're not retiring Shiloh's number,
and I wouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Surprised if they tried.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
One and only Petro's Papa Dakas Oh boy man. I
always enjoy the conversations. Appreciate you joining us early this
morning and go Dodgers by the way, God.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. It's it's April. But they're
in third. That's bad.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
That's not good for them, not all the money they're
spending this appointment. Now, do you think Joe Davis is disappointed?
Speaker 5 (26:20):
No, it's early. There's gonna be a Joe Davis bibblehead night,
is there really?
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (26:29):
And they haven't revealed like they've revealed everything, but they
haven't revealed what it's gonna look like. I think it's
gonna be so standing in front of a big green
egg with a spatula in his hand with a quizzical
look on his face. Hey man, far Mgue cost eight
thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I've had some of his cooking, though. That guy can
throw down, all right, Joe.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Davis can cook. Let's Harry on the grill.
Speaker 7 (26:59):
I'll there we go, all right, that way, Well done,
you guys always appreciate it, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Coming up next on Two Pros and a Cup of Joe.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
It's that time of year as the Draft is a
little over a week away, but it's also time to
go shopping.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
I'll explore, I'll explain. On the other side. This is
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
In last night's NBA Action Orlando Steamroll, the Atlanta Hawks
won twenty ninety five. Coy Anthony erupted off the bench
with twenty six points, Anthony Black added sixteen, and Orlando's
defense crushed Atlanta, leading by about twenty two until Trey
Young had a nice little twelve point third quarter, although
that flurry was cut short by his ejection with about
(27:59):
four forty seven left for kicking the ball, and it
ended the Hawks hopes at least of advancing last night.
They'll still get their opportunity to do so as they
play the winner of the Bulls and the Heat on Friday.
The Balls and Heat played tonight and in the West
Golden State they lasted the Memphis Grizzlies one sixteen. Steph
Curry dropped thirty seven. Jimmy Butler added thirty eight to that.
(28:21):
John Moran was battling a tweaked ankle to throughout the
course of the game. So Golden State advances. Meanwhile, Memphis
awaits the winner of Kings and MAVs. So there's your
NBA playoff play and update. But what I wanted to
get to, LeVar is the week's the drafts about a
week away, and you're gonna be a part of the
draft coverage along with Jay Glazer, Joe Douglas, Jennie Taft.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Will be awesome.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
It's next Thursday night, a pm Eastern time, you guys
can be giving the first round pick by pick, analysis, predictions,
all that good stuff. But this time of year is
not just about the draft. It's also about some of
these teams of what they do with some of their veterans.
And so, for example, you've got Chris Career coming out
and saying it's probably best at Jayalen Ramsey and the
(29:06):
Miami Dolphins go their separate ways. And there's a thought
that the general manager for the Baltimore Ravens, Eric DaCosta,
has been talking about the potential of moving on from
Mark Andrews. Do you sometimes, you know, recall I kind
of looking back at this time of years, not just
for the prospects, but also for veterans who are maybe
unhappy or maybe want to get to somewhere else.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
Oh, you know, I gotta say I was probably always
more focused in on just where where the team was
going up until I left Washington. Like when I was
in New York, I didn't even really go through a draft.
I mean, I went as a free agent and that
(29:52):
was more about me getting acclimated to you know, New York.
But when I was in Washington, I was just always
concerned out who we were drafting and who we were
getting in free agency, and ultimately who we were keeping,
because you just never know, You never knew who was
leaving and who was staying. I didn't look at it
(30:14):
for myself until I was in the contract issue that
led to me leaving.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
But I just never really got.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Too deep into the weeds of you know, those those
types of feelings in terms of how it may apply
to me or how it may have applied to other vets,
especially if they were vets that I felt like were
kind of pillars in our locker room and on our team.
I just I guess I had got so accustomed so
(30:41):
early to high profile free agents being brought in and
high profile players and other players going out the door
so rapidly and so quickly. I think I got desensitized
to it very quickly and very early in my career. Q.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
It's always interesting to me just because you know, for
a lot of those guys, it's kind of your the
timing and opportunity, and I think we look at someone
like Aaron Rodgers, who obviously has the opportunity to pick
where he wants to go, but guys who are under contract.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
This is that time of year in essence.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I mean, if you really want to look at a
perfect scenario and you're unhappy with where you're at, or
it's a contractual issue, and you want to try to
find a place that maybe there's a team who will
value you more, this is the time of year to
do it. I mean, you are part of that draft capital.
We know how how much teams covet those draft picks,
and if you can find a way of you know,
(31:38):
utilizing your agent or utilizing even public pressure by putting
stuff out there on social media or through interviews to
try to find somewhere else, some teams are more than
willing to do it because they get that immediate response
from another team, you know, getting that draft pick that
they can spend a week from now. So it's kind
of interesting that a lot of the focus is always
(31:58):
on the prospects, the common the pro private workouts, all
the things we've been talking about. But meanwhile, lurking behind
the scenes is a lot of veterans and really general
managers too, who are trying to shape up their roster
and moving on from some veteran guys but maybe trying
to add some veteran guys too for some teams to
feel like they're not that far off. And so you add,
(32:18):
you know, the playmaker, the playmaking ability of a guy
like Mark Andrews who's super versatile, or a shutdown corner
like Jayalen Ramsey, and they can pay off huge dividends
for your team. So, just an interesting time and had
a couple of players to keep an eye on. And
as we move forward and as we look at you know,
for example, you know Chris Career, who has talked about
(32:39):
or i should say scoffed at the idea that the
Dolphins are in a soft rebuild. His responses to a
lot of that is that's not the case. We brought in,
you know, players, a guy like Zach Wilson who we
feel like is a good fit for what we need
if Tua gets hurt or can't play. And so there's
a lot of general managers who are trying to restock
retool their rosters at this time of the year and
(32:59):
kind of behind the scenes lurking are some of those
veterans that they need to move on from. But nonetheless
exciting time of year again, I know you guys are
excited for the draft coverage coming up next Thursday. I'll
be exciting to listen to, so make sure you lock
in again next Thursday, eight pm Eastern. Fox Sports already
will have you all things covered on the first round.
(33:19):
LaVar Arrington will be part of the great cast that
we've got up taking care of all that draft coverage.

Speaker 8 (35:24):
Uh yeah, sorry about that, all right? Nobody cares about
any of this. How about this a great moose migration
in Sweden for you animal lovers out there.
Speaker 9 (35:33):
I've always wanted to see a moose live in person.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (35:36):
I know, you guys see bears all the time, LeVar.

You know they're massive, right, yeah, yeah, huge?
Speaker 9 (35:42):
Right, you can't you can't even comprehend I want to
ride one.
Speaker 6 (35:48):
You're not okay to ride a big moose, even if
they were rideable. That's like, you know what, I'm gonna
stay away too. Yeah, you're right, you're exactly right. Okay,
what else?
Speaker 9 (36:02):
There's also a sorry I stretch this out.
Speaker 8 (36:05):
And there's also a fish doorbell in uh in Norway
right now.
Speaker 9 (36:09):
It's uh, it's that time of year spawning season.
Speaker 8 (36:11):
You could uh there's a website called there there.
Speaker 9 (36:15):
I can't pronounce it. It's a it's a Dutch word there
fish doorbell.
Speaker 8 (36:19):
But you can let fish into uh into this damn
you know what.
Speaker 9 (36:23):
This is a bad story.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
How about this?
Speaker 8 (36:24):
Terry Bradshaw saved the day the other day in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 9 (36:29):
I know, I know. Did you see this?
Speaker 8 (36:35):
Yeah, there was a there was a there was a
plane stuck on the tarmac. A bunch of passengers were
stuck on on the tarmac for about a half hour
to an hour. Nobody can figure out how to open
the door until mister Terry Bradshaw still got it in Pittsburgh,
saves the day, opens it up with his brute strength.
Good John, Terry, Hey, it's your guy.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
What is brute strength?
Speaker 9 (36:59):
That's what the pilot said. That's what the pilot said,
went over the intercom and everything.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
He's like eight years old, the intercomm and everything.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Yeah, isn't that.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Why don't you just dive back into your birthday? You
just said you went for tacos and five dollars Margarita's Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Did you do anything elsely?
Speaker 1 (37:18):
I mean, were you sitting in at cantina for twelve
hours like you were done working by six am?
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (37:23):
So you did your entire day for your birthday? Is
that all you did?
Speaker 9 (37:26):
I slept in, I did my taxes, filed an extension.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
Didn't you go out after the show yesterday?
Speaker 6 (37:33):
No?
Speaker 9 (37:34):
I went home and slept.
Speaker 8 (37:35):
Todd was passed out by the time we got there,
but I had to wake up. I had to wake
his ass up for Taco Tuesday, and fun times were had.
Now it's onto Musso and Franks, which is a very
famous restaurant out here in Los Angeles, has been one
of the oldest establishments since nineteen nineteen. I'm gonna go
there tonight for a little ribbi cap or a little
(37:56):
flame mignon. I haven't decided yet, have you.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Alright?
Speaker 9 (38:00):
I assume you've been to Muso and Franks.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Who Musso and Franks.
Speaker 9 (38:03):
It's like the Hollywood to go to steak spot.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
I have not.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
I have to check it out. I have not gone
to there.
Speaker 9 (38:13):
I'm surprised, even Brady, that you haven't even heard of
Muso and Franks.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
I don't want to make a controversial statement because, like
you guys will get upset.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
But bigger fan of the East Coast food scene than
I am the.
Speaker 6 (38:25):
West Coast, so that doesn't upset me.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Yeah, And I just food is so much better on
the East Coast.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
I feel like somewhere over the Rockies at like loses
flavor and probably gluten and probably a lot of other
really good tasty things. It becomes super healthy, but it's
just not.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
It doesn't taste as good.
Speaker 6 (38:44):
We went in fruit out here, like produce and stuff
like that. It's a win out here. It doesn't compare
to the East Coast, but like savoring things like steaks
and stuff like that, pizzas, stuff like I think that that's.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
You know, cheese steak weeks. I don't know. It's like
a Florida orange over California.
Speaker 9 (39:04):
But we got well, no, bro, we got Mexican food, Dude.
Speaker 6 (39:08):
We got Yeah, Florida has Cuban food, yes, yeah, fo
though no much Cuban food.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Out and food California. My food is fire. Actually, it's great.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Gets some good couns rain Well, Lee, we hope you
have a wonderful thirty six birthday as your celebration continues
well over twenty four hours after you actually turned thirty six.
Is there a chance that we don't hear from you tomorrow, Lee,

the series with the Padres for one Jonas Knox, who's
probably interested in that, but still the NL Central leading
Chicago Cubs and taking on a San Diego Padres team.

What's up?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Good morning? Hello, Hello Brady, how we go? LaVar? Hello LeVar, Hello.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Brad Good morning, sir, Good morning, good morning. I'm here,
you're here, You're ready to go. I'm gonna start off
by asking you this.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I wanted to mention this yesterday and I saw you
I think it put something out on social media about it.
Jackie Robinson Day, Big day yesterday in Major League Baseball
four fifteen. Talked to us a little bit about the Dodgers,
but just the significance of that day, in particular.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
The Jackie Robinson Day is always significant when it comes
to the Dodgers. Yesterday, they I mean, they built a
statuet Jackie Robinson a few years back, and that was
cool and like kind of a place to gather for
Jackie Robinson Day if the Dodgers are at home, and
(01:57):
then they kind of built this whole sort of beautiful
center field pavilion area around it, so it really is
kind of a great destination. So yesterday they had Kareem
Abdul Jabbar address the Rockies and the Dodgers, which is
really interesting connection because I mean most of these players,
(02:18):
I mean they never saw Kareem play, of course, and
they made a lot of them maybe never even saw airplane.
But everybody knows who Kareem is and his records and
things like that. And there's a great connection because Kareem
was from New York Harlem and came out to LA
probably because they paid him a whole bunch, but also
(02:38):
because his father, who was a NYPD guy, grew up
loving the Brooklyn Dodgers and idolizing Jackie Robinson. So and
they and Jackie and Kareem both went to UCLA, where
Jackie lettered in like five hundred sports and so of course,
of course breaking the color barrier.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And all that.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
And we've had interviews with a lot of people that
knew Jackie Robinson really well over the years that we've
been on. Of course they've passed on Vin Scully and
Don Newcombe the great pitcher, but we got some perspective
on him, and we're able to kind of go back
and play some of those interviews and some of the
(03:22):
sound bites and things like that over the years, which
is always gratifying.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
So, yeah, it's a great it's a great day for baseball.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Everybody wears the number, you know, and it's a little confusing, right,
you know, if you if you just kind of checked
the highlights, you know, everybody's wearing the number, and it's
a little it's a little odd, but there was a
complete and total reasoning behind that, which was the Brooklyn Dodgers,
you know, when they were executing breaking the color Barry
(03:55):
and baseball, and there was a lot of pushback. Some
of the Brooklyn Dodgers suggested that they all wear Jackie's number,
so you know, no one could tell the difference from
far away while they were.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Watching the game.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
So that is a part of the significance of why
everybody wears the number forty two on the day. But
always very nice to remember and always something great to celebrate.
And it's good that the Dodgers and everybody kind of
take time out of the grind of the baseball season
to stop and listen to a speaker and and kind
of tell everybody's what's happening and what's significant.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
I'm gonna switch gears and shots out in respect to
Jackie Robinson and the family, clearly living in west Well,
Southern California.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Lettered in football Levart, I know it is field.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
I lived in in Alhambra and I live, I mean
right next to Pasadena. And if you live next to Pasadena,
one thing that you will be reminded of every day
pretty much. There's a jack Robinson Park, there's Jackie Robinson
things everywhere. People love the legacy and the memories of
(05:08):
Jackie Robinson and what he represented. So you see that
pretty much every day out here, which is super super cool,
the amount of love and admiration that he garnered for
the things that he did. I'm gonna switch gears and
ask you about this pe. You know, for so many
things that we talk about with USC, I think this
(05:29):
one time, and I'm not saying this is the one time,
but I'm just saying this is one time where you
could look at USC and the coaching staff when they
brought in Lincoln Rally, and you could say, man, like,
maybe some.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Things went wrong, maybe some things.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Could be better.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
But I'll say this, with everything that's taking place with Tennessee,
don't you kind of look at Lincoln Rally now and
be like, man, he did an excellent job of being
able to get Caleb Williams, to get Addison guys like that. Yeah,
into USC, because we're looking at a mess right now
that's taking place at Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Well, in regards to Lincoln Riley and how it relates
to him. I mean, I think all these big time coaches, now,
if you have a quarterback who's accomplished, it looks like
you're negotiating with that guy, or you have to negotiate
with that guy all the time, or some of these
coaches are. And yeah, absolutely it's a mess. But I
(06:30):
mean Lincoln Riley brought Caleb Williams in and all those
other transfers and us he is recruiting a lot better,
flipping a lot of guys from Oregon, doing a great
job with the new GM. Apparently don't don't. I don't
usually give a lot of weight to off season parties,
(06:50):
and oh my god, look who they recruited, Look who
they're who they're bringing in. And thus you see it
on the field. And Lincoln Riley's team has been worse
and worse and worse every year since the very first year.
After they lost to Utah the second time in the
Pac twelve Championship and did not go to the College
Football Playoff and ended up losing to Tulane in the
(07:13):
Sugar Bowl, Lincoln Riley said, this is the worst will
ever be rest assured will never be this bad again.
And they have been exponentially worse every year from now on.
So you like, I agree with you what you said.
USC has their own problems hypel handling this situation or
(07:33):
what this was. I mean, you live in high school
football in this area, LeVar very intensely over the last
I don't know, six years, and the kid, Nico Iiamayava's
had a lot of red flags for that time. You know,
I mean, I have nothing against the kid. I have
nothing against his family. I only hear rumors about it,
but I mean there's enough rumors and enough there to say, Okay, yeah,
(07:58):
these are going to be a very difficult group of
people to deal with the more success or whatever that
this kid has. And it came to a head with
something we've never seen before. Somebody trying to hold out
during spring practice. And you know I heard somebody make
the argument, well, this was exactly what coaches do. It's like, no, well,
(08:20):
you know, I've never seen spring practice start, and everybody's like,
where's the head coach?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
He's holding out.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
I mean, it's one thing for Tommy Tubberville to leave
during like a recruiting dinner in February. It's a whole
other thing for a guy to hold out for spring practice.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
What does it mean?
Speaker 5 (08:36):
What does it do to Nico Amayava's are going to
backfire on him? Kind of like it did Mike Williams
the receiver and Maurice Clarett. Remember that when they tried
to buck the NFL's three year thing and go right
into the league. That really hurt those guys. So I
don't know. I mean, people keep saying like North Carolina
was in the mix, and I was like, I could
(08:57):
kind of believe that people were saying Tulanes in the mix.
They're not even a power for right, I mean, does
Tulane have enough money? They don't even have enough money
for the right Marti Gras colors for their team.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's why they're all right. I mean, suh, suh.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Can you scrape the kaffers for this young quarterback to
come to the Garden District.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I mean, that's not happening. I mean, and then you.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
See LA four million dollars or any two million, anything
comparable to what he was getting at Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
That's not gonna happen either.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
So I think the market is kind of pushing back
against Nico i am Mayava. And you could say, like
if Nico iam Ayava didn't have all these different red
flags and different stuff that had happened over the years
as far as leadership and stuff like that goes. Maybe
they would pay them. Maybe we would never know this story,
but I think that they've had enough of it and
(09:54):
Tennessee just kind of took their ball and went home.
What does it mean for the kid or the future?
It's a great question, Labar.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I mean, it's an absolute. I think you described it
really well. It's a mess. But you can't I mean,
I don't care how good the player is, you can't
let him hold the whole team over the barrel for
spring practice.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
D there's a part of you. I've got actually a
couple of questions on the topic.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Does a part of you look at though, how it's
working out and think maybe it's kind of a good
thing because it's like a you know, for others that
try to fall in the footsteps of Nico, it doesn't
always mean that you're gonna find the offer or the
opportunity you're looking for.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Yeah, and it's gonna be a lesson for others. And
we'll see where this kid ends up landing. I God,
I hope he goes back to Tennessee and figures it
out maybe, oh, no way, maybe that horse has left
the barn.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Yeah, that can't happen.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
But but I mean when when I saw the three
schools that were in the mix, I mean, there's none
of those schools. I mean UCLA would take two million
dollars that they're giving nico A Mayava and distribute it
for the rest of the football team. And that's probably
the same thing that would happen with with North Carolina
and Tulane. That the whole we were in the mix
(11:04):
to bring in this transfer quarterback kind of reminded me
of like somebody in like a school auction where you
want people to see you put your paddle up, but
you don't want to win the actual auction, right, You
don't want to spend ten thous you.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yeah, have done that.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
You have done that in your life about it.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I've seen people do it. Though, It's like, now you
end up spending fifteen thousand dollars. You got to go
to the Cook.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Islands, buddy, I literally had a bad experience doing that
last year at a charney.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
What did you tell you?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Well, what what we agreed to?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
At one point was that me and another guy were
gonna split it. And then then they came back and
say no, no, no, no, you guys both can do it.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
You both which which raises more for the charity.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So I was like, yeah, both can pay twenty thousand.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Yeah it was it wasn't that much.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
But then but when they came back with that, I
was like, oh, man, no, I can't back out of this.
So we we both agreed to do it. And basically
it's yet to come to fruition. Like what what we were,
what we were sold, we were going to get exchange
for the donation has yet to come to fruition.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
So, I mean, I don't know how many times I've
sold spend the day with Petros.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
You know.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
God, no one ever like calls me and goes, hey,
remember you said you'd spend the day with me. It's like,
no one else where can I bid on that? No
one ever collects on those where can I bid on that.
I'll tell you the next time anybody asked me please.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I'm gonna do it, and I'm gonna tell my I'm
gonna tell my wife and my family. I'm going out
to cash in on an auction item and I'm hanging
out with Petros for a day.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
It is sad because, I mean, you just kind of
feel like that was all those other teams were interested in.
I mean, if you listen to all of the message
boards and different things, people are really acting like this
kid is going to come to UCLA.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I don't. I don't see that, but but I wish
the young man good luck. I mean, I don't.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
I hate having to criticize twenty year olds, but that's
what I do for a living.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So there you go.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Let me switch gears on you to the team that
everybody talks about outside of the Dallas Cowboys in the
off season. The well, that's a good one too. That's
a good one too. And I could have gone down
that lane. And you know what, I'm gonna stay away
from it.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Cornell Stewart coming on deck.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Dang, I'm gonna use the topic the question that I
have prepared for you, because I prepare for this show very,
very intensively. Petros in fact, the most out of any
of the other guys that are on this show. So yes, sir, so,
I want to stay disciplined to what I was going
to ask you, and so and so I wanted to
(13:47):
throw this one out at you pee the Lakers that
now there's the whole playoffs debate that's going on right now,
and there seems to be so much optimism towards what
the Lakers can do in this year's playoffs.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Your what's your take on it?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Do you think that they with the addition of Luca,
with the subtraction of Anthony, you know what Anthony did?
What's his name? Tell me again, I'm looking at Davis.
Do they have a fear in your estimation? Do they
have a fair opportunity to make a run for the finals?
Do you think they should be favored it to to
(14:28):
win it?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
I don't know if they should be the favorite because,
like you said, we haven't really seen this machination of
this Laker group in the playoffs. I think the one thing,
I mean, for all the offseason talk and most of.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
It was about Brownie James, and we don't need to go.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Down that road as as everybody sees how the year
ended up. But JJ Redick was a huge success. I
mean JJ Redick and how JJ Reddick. I mean, nobody
likes to be condescended to or just you know, heavily
side throughout every postgame press conference.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
But he has done a great job.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
And then they switched it up on him, like you said,
with Ad, and he's done an even better job adapting
to the new roster and getting role players going around
Lebron James, which obviously is not easy and that's.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Been proven over the years.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
I don't know how it translates into playoff basketball. Everybody
talks about how they don't have any bigs and now
they're going to take on the Minnesota Tea Wolves and
they have Rudy Gobert and he's going to be doing
his his Frenchman thing out there. So it'll be interesting
to see how it all translates. The one thing in
this play in era or whatever we're doing now in
(15:46):
the NBA, this is the first time in LA that
we've had the Clippers and the Lakers in recent memory
really kind of surging into the playoffs. Maybe it felt
that way and twenty twenty to a certain degree, and
then the year ended abruptly and they ended up in
the double with Rachel Nichols and all that. But this
(16:09):
is the first time that the Clippers are playing at
a really high level with Kawhi Leonard and Aviza Zubats
and James Harden playing really well, although he does end
up disappearing in pivotal games in the playoffs, at least
he has recently. And then you have the Lakers and
they both but the other thing is they both have
(16:30):
such an intense matchup in the first round. I mean,
the Clippers have to take on the Denver Nuggets, who
have had some issues and yeah they're volatile, but they're
still the Denver Nuggets and they have the toughest matchup
in the NBA and Nikolajokich and the Lakers have Anthony
Edwards who's got four kids by four baby moms.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Did you know that four for four?
Speaker 5 (16:52):
You mean, I know they were chanting about child support
and I was like, oh god, what does he have
a kid or something?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It's like four by four like an in and out.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I mean, here's the logic that you've got. I've got five.
I've got five spread out over like eight and a
half years. I mean, if you could at five, well yes, yeah,
but I'm saying if you could, if you wouldn't have
five kids, four kids, if you could bold it up
into like a year or two, you kind of get
(17:22):
through that wave of the baby phase into like toddler,
you know, toddler, and then into adolescents. Like not the
worst way of looking at right, just trying to look
at the positive of it.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
You could build a whole village if you do it,
if you do.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
It without that.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Okay, I thought you were co signing on that. Maybe not.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I mean no, I'm just saying that.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
I mean they will both if the Lakers and Clippers,
and they don't share the same stadium anymore, so we
can't call it the Hallway series.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Don't share the same yeah, about to say the same hotels?
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Right, So, so the Lakers and Clippers, they are surging into.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
The playoffs, but it would be really cool.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
If they have to meet in the Western Conference finals,
and that probably won't happen, but it would be great
to see him both get out of the first round,
even though they have really intense matchups. But to be honest, LeVar,
I don't know how it translates to playoff basketball, but
they certainly have been impressive down the stretch. And you know,
(18:22):
the story really isn't Lebron anymore, And I think that
really bothers Lebron and his people but the story is
Luka Doncic, and Luka Doncic is Jersey is number one
and all of those different things, and we'll see how
he performs. He was spectacular last year in the playoffs
and took him all the way to the finals of
Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
So we'll see.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
He I want I want to follow up on a
question QS earlier, just super quickly, and he made the point,
is it a what does Dallas have to do in
order for the fans not to melt down over, you know,
losing Luca to the Lakers. I would pose the same question,
what do the Lakers have to do in order for
(19:05):
Lakers fans to be appeased or happy or satisfied with
this season? Does has it already happened or does it
have to happen with this playoff run?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Yeah, I think disappointment in the playoffs brings you right
back to whatever. But I don't think you're that back there. No,
I disagree with the statement I just made. Laker fans
have a twenty what is he twenty six? They have
a twenty six year old superstar. Maybe he vapes or
hookahs or likes vodka and beer, but he's still one
(19:35):
of the top three best players in the NBA at
he's twenty six. So the Lakers have a future around
Luka Doncic and that they did not have that a
month and a half ago, and or whatever. That is
what's changed. That is the seismic shift in the world
of basketball on the West Coast. So I think that
(19:58):
regardless of what happens here with the Lebron built team
and the Lebron coach and Lebron being Lebron and his doll,
I think that the future under Luka Doncic is really
what people are looking to. If they make a run
and people start talking about another championship, batt'll change and
(20:18):
God willing will be talking between then and now.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I actually want to go back to the topic of
kind of Nico and not talking about him specifically, but
more how he got here. And I'm wondering because in
the state of California, you know, players can earn money
off their name.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Image and lights in high school. In fact, like I
wasn't even aware of this.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Many states had approved this, but there's forty states in
the US where that's the case, And so I guess
I'm just kind of going back to maybe his parents' perspective,
his perspective.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
I mean, how much of a rule does that play?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
I mean it's such a foggy gray area, right, Brady,
because we all were raised Now, I didn't play quarterback,
which is a different thing. I mean we all know that,
and obviously LaVar is one of the great players at
his position in a generation. So maybe it doesn't translate,
you know, to you guys personally, but I think it does.
(21:13):
I mean we I mean, when you play football, you
know the message is big team, little me, right, I mean,
you know, you're supposed to think about the team. You're
supposed to think about your teammates. You're supposed to show
your teammates that even though you're a mega talented player
like Brady quann or LeVar Arrington, that we're all in
this together. We're all at the same training table, we
(21:37):
all wear the same mess shorts.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
You know that that's part of a football team.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
And individuals on a football team were acting individually selfish
normally does not translate well to a team dynamic. Now,
we all know what teams are like, and there's a
pecking order and guys that are more talented and higher
recruits and maybe even not more, but just bigger recruits
that treat it a different way than maybe some guys
(22:04):
that have to earn it a little bit differently. We
all know those stories, and not everything is always equal,
but we are all raised to think about the team
before you think about yourself, and you throw the number
next to everybody's name into the mix, and you know,
at the NFL level, when you guys get up there,
(22:24):
you get the impression that at a certain point, everybody's
mature enough to deal with the fact that everybody's getting paid,
everybody's worth a certain amount of money, everybody's.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Trying to stay in the league.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
But in college football we get this weird gray area
between what are you willing to sacrifice for the team
and hey, I'm a big time player, what is the
team willing to do for me? You know, this quarterback
over here is getting paid X amount of money. I'm
not getting as much. My deal happened earlier than his.
You know, the same stuff that happens in the NFL
(22:56):
with less mature and less qualified people who have less
mature and less qualified people advising them. So what LVAR
said when we started the conversation about this situation holds true.
It's a mess, and it is going to be really
hard to I mean, it's just really hard to moralize
(23:16):
it under the kind of football mentality that I grew
up playing. But at the same time I understand it.
I mean, how long is this guy going to play football?
There's money out there. The problem is you want to
if you're playing college football and you're a really big
time playing, you want to be compensated comparable to how
other guys like that are playing like you are compensated
(23:37):
around the country. But you also don't want to cause
so much trouble and make so much of a stink
to where the NFL and people at that level hear
the rumblings about you and you get labeled as somebody
who's not easy to work with or team orient I
think I was.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
More just pointing out the perspective that that's our perspective
because we.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Grew up in that. Our parents ton't know any different.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Nowadays, these kids in junior high are looking at their
high school destinations because they can start becoming a household
brand at least in that local area in the state
what have you, and actually earn an I all moneys
at the high school level now in forty states, So
that perspective that we share is just very different from
I think maybe how parents even players are looking now, right, I.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Think it is, but I still think you build a
football team in the same way.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Without no and everyone believes that.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
But I just think again, the perspective of that player, though,
is changing at a very rapid young age.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
So we could talk about this forever. We're up against
the break.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I want to ask you this though we didn't ask
you about Shador Sanders, Travis Hunters Jerseys being retired of Colorado.
I gotta get your take on this, well, Travis Hunter.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
I mean, the guy won the Heisman Trophy, right, So
I mean it's but it's it's highly questionable. You can
argue about like, look, I look at how much they
change the program and all these different things. But I
mean just take d On Figures, the cornerback who also
wore the number two for CU. He won the championship
in nineteen ninety. Jim Thorpe Award winner, Jack Tatum Award,
(25:09):
consensus All American Big Eight Defensive Player of the Year,
first round pick College.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Football Hall of Fame not retired.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
I mean Rashan Salam God rest his soul, who won
the Heisman, awaited a decade plus to twenty.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Years to have his number retired there.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
And I know numbers are retired for different reasons and
all that, but highly questionable a true stretch to retire
Shader Sanders numbers after a ten and eight career at
Colorado from transferring in from Jackson. That's my opinion. I'm
sure there'll be a lot of debate about it. I
(25:49):
heard one reporter say at least they're not retiring Shiloh's number,
and I wouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Surprised if they tried.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
One and only Petro's Papa Dakas Oh boy man. I
always enjoy the conversations. Appreciate you joining us early this
morning and go Dodgers by the way, God.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. It's it's April. But they're
in third. That's bad.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
That's not good for them, not all the money they're
spending this appointment. Now, do you think Joe Davis is disappointed?
Speaker 5 (26:20):
No, it's early. There's gonna be a Joe Davis bibblehead night,
is there really?
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (26:29):
And they haven't revealed like they've revealed everything, but they
haven't revealed what it's gonna look like. I think it's
gonna be so standing in front of a big green
egg with a spatula in his hand with a quizzical
look on his face. Hey man, far Mgue cost eight
thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I've had some of his cooking, though. That guy can
throw down, all right, Joe.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Davis can cook. Let's Harry on the grill.
Speaker 7 (26:59):
I'll there we go, all right, that way, Well done,
you guys always appreciate it, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Coming up next on Two Pros and a Cup of Joe.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
It's that time of year as the Draft is a
little over a week away, but it's also time to
go shopping.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
I'll explore, I'll explain. On the other side. This is
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
In last night's NBA Action Orlando Steamroll, the Atlanta Hawks
won twenty ninety five. Coy Anthony erupted off the bench
with twenty six points, Anthony Black added sixteen, and Orlando's
defense crushed Atlanta, leading by about twenty two until Trey
Young had a nice little twelve point third quarter, although
that flurry was cut short by his ejection with about
(27:59):
four forty seven left for kicking the ball, and it
ended the Hawks hopes at least of advancing last night.
They'll still get their opportunity to do so as they
play the winner of the Bulls and the Heat on Friday.
The Balls and Heat played tonight and in the West
Golden State they lasted the Memphis Grizzlies one sixteen. Steph
Curry dropped thirty seven. Jimmy Butler added thirty eight to that.
(28:21):
John Moran was battling a tweaked ankle to throughout the
course of the game. So Golden State advances. Meanwhile, Memphis
awaits the winner of Kings and MAVs. So there's your
NBA playoff play and update. But what I wanted to
get to, LeVar is the week's the drafts about a
week away, and you're gonna be a part of the
draft coverage along with Jay Glazer, Joe Douglas, Jennie Taft.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Will be awesome.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
It's next Thursday night, a pm Eastern time, you guys
can be giving the first round pick by pick, analysis, predictions,
all that good stuff. But this time of year is
not just about the draft. It's also about some of
these teams of what they do with some of their veterans.
And so, for example, you've got Chris Career coming out
and saying it's probably best at Jayalen Ramsey and the
(29:06):
Miami Dolphins go their separate ways. And there's a thought
that the general manager for the Baltimore Ravens, Eric DaCosta,
has been talking about the potential of moving on from
Mark Andrews. Do you sometimes, you know, recall I kind
of looking back at this time of years, not just
for the prospects, but also for veterans who are maybe
unhappy or maybe want to get to somewhere else.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
Oh, you know, I gotta say I was probably always
more focused in on just where where the team was
going up until I left Washington. Like when I was
in New York, I didn't even really go through a draft.
I mean, I went as a free agent and that
(29:52):
was more about me getting acclimated to you know, New York.
But when I was in Washington, I was just always
concerned out who we were drafting and who we were
getting in free agency, and ultimately who we were keeping,
because you just never know, You never knew who was
leaving and who was staying. I didn't look at it
(30:14):
for myself until I was in the contract issue that
led to me leaving.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
But I just never really got.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Too deep into the weeds of you know, those those
types of feelings in terms of how it may apply
to me or how it may have applied to other vets,
especially if they were vets that I felt like were
kind of pillars in our locker room and on our team.
I just I guess I had got so accustomed so
(30:41):
early to high profile free agents being brought in and
high profile players and other players going out the door
so rapidly and so quickly. I think I got desensitized
to it very quickly and very early in my career. Q.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
It's always interesting to me just because you know, for
a lot of those guys, it's kind of your the
timing and opportunity, and I think we look at someone
like Aaron Rodgers, who obviously has the opportunity to pick
where he wants to go, but guys who are under contract.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
This is that time of year in essence.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I mean, if you really want to look at a
perfect scenario and you're unhappy with where you're at, or
it's a contractual issue, and you want to try to
find a place that maybe there's a team who will
value you more, this is the time of year to
do it. I mean, you are part of that draft capital.
We know how how much teams covet those draft picks,
and if you can find a way of you know,
(31:38):
utilizing your agent or utilizing even public pressure by putting
stuff out there on social media or through interviews to
try to find somewhere else, some teams are more than
willing to do it because they get that immediate response
from another team, you know, getting that draft pick that
they can spend a week from now. So it's kind
of interesting that a lot of the focus is always
(31:58):
on the prospects, the common the pro private workouts, all
the things we've been talking about. But meanwhile, lurking behind
the scenes is a lot of veterans and really general
managers too, who are trying to shape up their roster
and moving on from some veteran guys but maybe trying
to add some veteran guys too for some teams to
feel like they're not that far off. And so you add,
(32:18):
you know, the playmaker, the playmaking ability of a guy
like Mark Andrews who's super versatile, or a shutdown corner
like Jayalen Ramsey, and they can pay off huge dividends
for your team. So, just an interesting time and had
a couple of players to keep an eye on. And
as we move forward and as we look at you know,
for example, you know Chris Career, who has talked about
(32:39):
or i should say scoffed at the idea that the
Dolphins are in a soft rebuild. His responses to a
lot of that is that's not the case. We brought in,
you know, players, a guy like Zach Wilson who we
feel like is a good fit for what we need
if Tua gets hurt or can't play. And so there's
a lot of general managers who are trying to restock
retool their rosters at this time of the year and
(32:59):
kind of behind the scenes lurking are some of those
veterans that they need to move on from. But nonetheless
exciting time of year again, I know you guys are
excited for the draft coverage coming up next Thursday. I'll
be exciting to listen to, so make sure you lock
in again next Thursday, eight pm Eastern. Fox Sports already
will have you all things covered on the first round.
(33:19):
LaVar Arrington will be part of the great cast that
we've got up taking care of all that draft coverage.
But coming up next on Two Pros and a Cup
of Joe, it's another edition of Lee's Leftovers.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Well done, Lorena, well done, and we'll get the LEAs
leftovers in a second. But first I want to remind
people Two Pros and a Cup of Joe will not
be on in our normal time slot tomorrow or Friday.
We'll be filling in for the Dan Patrick Show. And also,
you're listening to us now, but you know that you

You're not okay to ride a big moose, even if
they were rideable. That's like, you know what, I'm gonna
stay away too. Yeah, you're right, you're exactly right. Okay,
what else?
Speaker 9 (36:02):

It's uh, it's that time of year spawning season.
Speaker 8 (36:11):
You could uh there's a website called there there.
Speaker 9 (36:15):
I can't pronounce it. It's a it's a Dutch word there
fish doorbell.
Speaker 8 (36:19):
But you can let fish into uh into this damn
you know what.
Speaker 9 (36:23):
This is a bad story.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
How about this?
Speaker 8 (36:24):
Terry Bradshaw saved the day the other day in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 9 (36:29):
I know, I know. Did you see this?
Speaker 8 (36:35):
Yeah, there was a there was a there was a
plane stuck on the tarmac. A bunch of passengers were
stuck on on the tarmac for about a half hour
to an hour. Nobody can figure out how to open
the door until mister Terry Bradshaw still got it in Pittsburgh,
saves the day, opens it up with his brute strength.
Good John, Terry, Hey, it's your guy.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
What is brute strength?
Speaker 9 (36:59):
That's what the pilot said. That's what the pilot said,
went over the intercom and everything.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
He's like eight years old, the intercomm and everything.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Yeah, isn't that.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Why don't you just dive back into your birthday? You
just said you went for tacos and five dollars Margarita's Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Did you do anything elsely?
Speaker 1 (37:18):
I mean, were you sitting in at cantina for twelve
hours like you were done working by six am?
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (37:23):
So you did your entire day for your birthday? Is
that all you did?
Speaker 9 (37:26):
I slept in, I did my taxes, filed an extension.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
Didn't you go out after the show yesterday?
Speaker 6 (37:33):
No?
Speaker 9 (37:34):
I went home and slept.
Speaker 8 (37:35):
Todd was passed out by the time we got there,
but I had to wake up. I had to wake
his ass up for Taco Tuesday, and fun times were had.
Now it's onto Musso and Franks, which is a very
famous restaurant out here in Los Angeles, has been one
of the oldest establishments since nineteen nineteen. I'm gonna go
there tonight for a little ribbi cap or a little
(37:56):
flame mignon. I haven't decided yet, have you.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Alright?
Speaker 9 (38:00):
I assume you've been to Muso and Franks.
Speaker 4 (38:02):

Speaker 9 (38:03):
It's like the Hollywood to go to steak spot.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
I have not.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
I have to check it out. I have not gone
to there.
Speaker 9 (38:13):
I'm surprised, even Brady, that you haven't even heard of
Muso and Franks.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
I don't want to make a controversial statement because, like
you guys will get upset.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
But bigger fan of the East Coast food scene than
I am the.
Speaker 6 (38:25):
West Coast, so that doesn't upset me.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Yeah, And I just food is so much better on
the East Coast.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
I feel like somewhere over the Rockies at like loses
flavor and probably gluten and probably a lot of other
really good tasty things. It becomes super healthy, but it's
just not.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
It doesn't taste as good.
Speaker 6 (38:44):
We went in fruit out here, like produce and stuff
like that. It's a win out here. It doesn't compare
to the East Coast, but like savoring things like steaks
and stuff like that, pizzas, stuff like I think that that's.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
You know, cheese steak weeks. I don't know. It's like
a Florida orange over California.
Speaker 9 (39:04):
But we got well, no, bro, we got Mexican food, Dude.
Speaker 6 (39:08):

though no much Cuban food.
