to expect when it comes to the Pacers and the
Knicks in their Game four and the WNBA is about
to find out. Plus, we're going to talk about some
flag football dreams and aspirations that aren't really a reality.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Here.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
And it appears like.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Our timberwolves, the howling Wolves of Minnesota, are on their
last legs.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
What happened to the saying man, strength of the pack
is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is
the pack. Well, I guess I guess that does make sense, though,
you know, because the pack ain't the wolf has not
been supportive of the pack, and the pack has not
been supportive of the wolf.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
It felt like.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
It felt like John Randall didn't want to join in
on the hunt. Julius, Oh you know what? Okay, Julius Randall.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
If his name was Johnny would had a better game.

Speaker 6 (02:53):
Did I say?

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I just love saying John d He's like one of
my favorite Minnesota It's a Randall in this Minnesota.

Speaker 6 (02:58):
There you go, Well.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
That Randall didn't win a super Bowl in Minnesota either,
but you know, but I know, but he went to
the Hall of Fame though, you know, Anthony Edwards and hey, bruh,
I mean, this is one of those moments in time
where you gotta take the criticisms that come with being

(03:23):
a budding young superstar.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Go ahead, well, I was just gonna say this.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Did you not get the feeling watching that game last
night that the game was competitive? The final score was close,
But it never felt like Minnesota was that close.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Like, it never felt like that game was as close
as the final score was indicative of. It was more
of Oklahoma City thunder was going to win that game.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
It was just by a matter of how many.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
I felt like I felt like looking at the no
you did.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
I felt like I concurred it do I concur that's good.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
I you know, I looked at the way they played
early on the Timberwolves. They were sloppy. They they were
they were careless with the ball. They really didn't play
in a way that would have gave you any type
of confidence that they would be able to win the game.

(04:26):
So so to your points, it's definitely that's that's that's legit.
I don't think they did really anything against a team
that you have to do everything to be able to beat,
and they still only end up losing by by two points.
But they just didn't do really anything in that game

(04:46):
to challenge their defense in a way where they made
them uncomfortable. They again, they were sloppy turnovers, sloppy with
with the ball, protection of the ball, and the rotations
were just seemed off.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
They just seemed off. They just seemed off.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
And and you know, obviously you need your best players
to play great. Anthony Edwards did not play great. Julius Randall,
he's on a milk carton box after after that game.
I mean he showed up. He showed up in the
one game that they won, but has not shown up
pretty much the entire series other than that last game.

(05:27):
It's just not good man, Rudy Gobert, he I mean,
you know, he got he did what Rudy does. How
about that, I'll say Rudy did what he did he's
supposed to do. I guess, like, yeah, he's like he's
a roll. I told y'all, don't get carried away when
he had that game against the Lakers, Like, I didn't
understand it how he was able to have that type

(05:49):
of game and that be the dominant, you know, performance
that led to them winning. But the series is over,
Like it's okay, it is better. Yeah, yeah, have no
fight left?

Speaker 7 (06:05):
Yeah over. I think I called this at two. Oh,
by the way, I'm slading you.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Know you by the way, it might have been you
referenced you referenced the milk carton?

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, man, whose idea was that?

Speaker 6 (06:18):
Lee?

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Could you look that up?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Like? Who thought that would be a good idea If
somebody's missing, put their picture.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
On the on the side of a milk carton, because that's.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
Going to at one point that was a big thing.
By the way, By the way, I figured everybody needed milk.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
By the by the time people are having their cereal
the next day to realize so and so is missing,
he probably it's probably over. So I'm just trying to
figure out, like, who thought that was the good idea
to throw that out?

Speaker 5 (06:43):
Why don't you just you're probably right that would be
an interesting piece of trivia or or homework.

Speaker 8 (06:49):
Well, the Missing Children milk milk carton program started in
eighty four eighty five. I'm not exactly sure who started it, but.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Believe were you on one of those, were you on
their Lee?

Speaker 7 (07:00):
I could I could see that in your family's like, oh,
Lee go has been gone for about a month.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Now, good thing they had that that program. They found me.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
They might not we haven't seen him in a while.
Put him on the milk box. Hey there's Lee.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
He's walking by the milk and the seven eleven gone.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
Hey, Maddie, that's me.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Hey it's Lee.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
He didn't know he was abducts. Now, you know why
you call her Carol mom? Literally Mom would have just worked,
but you know it's Carol Mom.

Speaker 6 (07:36):
They got a whold.

Speaker 7 (07:37):
You probably came home and she was like, hey buddy,
Hey buddy, Hey buddy, you're.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Here on the milk cart and.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Get some milk from my white Russian there.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
So you mentioned the struggles of you know, Anthony Edwards or.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, I mean, look to each their own.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Some people their description of struggle is a little bit
different than others. But here was the ant man Anthony
Edwards discussing his performance post game.

Speaker 6 (08:06):
With the media. Definitely not the.

Speaker 9 (08:09):
I guess the points I wanted to get, but I
mean they didn't really let me get too many shots off.
They did a good job of that. Every time I
had the ball. They showed me at BTRIC crowd. So
just making the right play getting off of it and
I guys hit shots tonight, So big shots to him.

Speaker 6 (08:26):
So much of you guys play in front of the point.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
It was the big nights from you and random and
how to kind of hit you from the fact that
you got to post struggle.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
At the same time that I. I don't look at
it like I struggled or he struggled.

Speaker 9 (08:39):
They just they had a good game plan making us
get off the ball. Especially for me, man, it was
super into gaps. I made the right play all night,
so I don't really look at it like I struggled.
I didn't get enough shots to say I struggled, So
that's why that might be how you guys look at it.

Speaker 6 (08:52):
But yeah, I didn't struggle.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
Oh it just I make the right play.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
So he getting a little bit of that bit damning
though it's getting little that heat.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
I mean, he didn't take his first shot until the
end of the first quarter. They was in front of
him the whole time. Man, they were in front of him,
and and they you know, say as crazy as they
didn't play well on the offensive side of the court,
but they didn't they didn't compensate for it on the
defense side. They didn't figure out like they were leaving
them open. They weren't closing out shots they were they

(09:23):
were loose in there in their defense, like they were
like basically like falling back, like they were so afraid
of what SGA and others were going to do. They
weren't even playing sturdy defense. It was like they were
just letting them, you know, kind of just get to
the get to the rim, you know, and they were

(09:43):
moving back with them.

Speaker 6 (09:45):
Like it wasn't.

Speaker 5 (09:45):
Like like Rudy Gobert get caught at the top of
the key. He put his hand up and he just wait,
you know, got moved back, be Sga, maybe Dort. They
get caught, moved back and Rudy Gobert didn't go boom.

Speaker 6 (10:02):
They shooting.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
But then there's the times where they did go and
it was like they just kept moving, like they didn't
try to get in front of them, stop them, you know,
take a charge or anything like that. They just were
kind of just letting them flow. They were flowing to
the to the realm. They were shooting and there was
no one on them. It just it just didn't seem
like it was a really good game. And for me

(10:26):
watching it, and maybe I sound, you know, crazy, but
just watching it just didn't look like it.

Speaker 7 (10:31):
Was a good game to me, I would say sturdy
is one way of describing it. I kind of thought
they were a rock steady stayed rocking on all night long.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
It's kind of how I saw it. But that's just
me rock hell yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Insteady, you guys have made the point that the locker
room doesn't start until the media leave, and so that
that's that's when the real locker room happens and begins
and whatever we see on the outside isn't a reality.
That's just what we are allowed to see the idea
that and some people are upset and it was you know,

(11:07):
you had your hot takes on social media afterwards. Anthony
Edwards not being accountable. He should be held accountable, he
should take responsibility for this loss. He's just because that's
his messaging postgame to a couple of reporters while he's
sitting there, you know, after a game and his locker,
doesn't mean that's not the discussion that they're having or
a different discussion they're having behind the scenes. And something

(11:30):
tells me Chris Finch and Anthony Edwards have brutally honest conversations.
It's why he could criticize him the way that he
did publicly and it not.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Turn into a thing.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
I find it hard to believe that Anthony Edwards doesn't realize, Yeah,
I did struggle. I am struggling. I'm the leader of
this team. I've got to try and figure out ways
to make this team better. Just because I'm not presenting
in just because I'm not giving you all the information
while I'm sitting here at my just because I'm not
giving you all the information I'm sitting here at my

(12:00):
locker fifteen minutes after we just lost a game four
and or down three to one in the series. Is
probably over. Doesn't mean I'm not aware that I need
to be better. This is just publicly what he's giving people,
and that's why they're running wild with it.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
That would be sure.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
I think there's an element to that.

Speaker 7 (12:16):
I mean, I think the most relatable way for people
to see this is it's kind of like family business,
you know, where you're not going to allow family drama
things like that to to, you know, get outside of
your family, at least you don't want to.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
It's very similar.

Speaker 7 (12:31):
So you might have certain conversations in public that are
very different than in private, and that's probably how.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
They've handled this. But I think there's a couple of
things going on.

Speaker 7 (12:41):
What surprise me most about in particular last night, how
he played. You know, we've heard people make comparisons or
he plays like or he looks like you know, MJ.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Or there's a little bit of that in his game.

Speaker 7 (12:57):
Last night was an example, and LaVar kind of pointed
to that, pointed it out where you know, he wasn't
as aggressive early and didn't set the tone as much
early and look, maybe you give Oklahoma City credit for
what they've done defensively to take that away from him.
I mean, right now, if we all said, okay, who
are you gonna stop? If you're building a defensive game

(13:18):
plan around the Minnesota Timberwolves, who's gonna be built around
stopping it's hemany Edwards, Like that's that's the bell end
all of this team that there's gonna be like Julius
Reynolds's gonna pitch in. There's gonna be others who pitch in.
But if you're looking for the most consistent, the fire
start of the guy, who's gonna be that for their offense, for.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
Their team, it's him.

Speaker 7 (13:39):
So if you take him away, like who else can
really step up consistently to allow the Timberwolves to beat
Dilklom City Thunder. We've talked about this from the beginning
of the series. The Thunder is just.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
A deep roster.

Speaker 7 (13:49):
They just they have other guys who even if Sga
isn't having a great night, there's other guys who can
step up and make buckets and make plays. So it's
not like that so much with Minnesota. I mean, Julius
Randalls kind of had his moments, and you could probably
touch on a few others, but part it's Anthony Edwards

(14:09):
and they kind of go as he goes. So I
think for him, he's probably stuck between a rock and
a hard place in regards to he wants to make
smart basketball plays. He wants to obviously, you know, dish
the ball around when it's there too, but also and
also not force things, especially if they're trying to take
him away, and he feels that way. I mean, he's
publicly saying like that a great game plan. Well they've

(14:30):
had a great game plan for him the entire series,
and it seems like ultimately he's either just got to,
you know, put up a bunch of shots that might
be considered bad shots and risk looking like a guy
who's trying to will his team getting back into it
potentially you know, you know, miss a bunch of shots
and look like he's happening off night, or look like

(14:51):
he's trying to do too much just to be able
to keep his team in it because they're down three
to one at this point, nothing else really matters, you know,
this this series is pretty much over.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
And I also think he's twenty three. Every superstar in
the NBA in the history of the league has all
gone through this. They've all gone through it. Jordan went
through it, Lebron went through it, Kobe went like everybody
went through early on in their career. There were struggles.
There were times they were outplayed, a team had a
great game plan for him, they didn't shoot well.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Whatever it is, this is just part of the process.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Like, I don't look at this and go, oh, that
tells us a lot about who Anthony Edwards is a
player now. That tells me that he's twenty three years old.
It's part of the growing pains and ultimately he's going
to figure this out. I don't look at this as
concerning long term.

Speaker 6 (15:39):
Well, give credit to ok See, you know, it's a lot.

Speaker 5 (15:43):
We're making a lot about Minnesota because I believe we
thought I know, I thought this was going to be
the best series of the playoffs, and it's turned out
to be pretty much everything but that. And it almost
made you feel like, for like a moment, there were
you guys watching the game and was like, man, like,

(16:03):
if they look like this against OKC, what do I
feel about the Lakers? Like if Minnesota is looking this bad,
if OKAC is making Minnesota look that bad?

Speaker 6 (16:18):
How do I feel about the Los Angeles Lakers?

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Man?

Speaker 5 (16:22):
Like I had a moment last night like it might
have been a better series with the Lakers and Oka
see thunder what it might have been, because this one
ain't good. It's not very good at all. And it
just seems like.

Speaker 6 (16:37):
Why are they why are they so?

Speaker 5 (16:39):
And listen, maybe it's the greatness of how good they
are that they're making them look so marginal, but man,
it just to me, it just looked like sloppy play.
It didn't look like especially early on in the game,
just didn't look like it was something that was being
dictated to them. Like, yes, they were on Anthony Edwards

(17:00):
a lot, and they made it hard for him, but
like to say, you can't get a shot off, Like,
if you can't get a shot off, then there better
be two three other dudes that are blowing their heads
off on that court. And that's how you start to
open things up.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Is that.

Speaker 5 (17:17):
Okay, they decided they're going to stop Anthony Edwards. That's
what they did. They said, we're going to stop Anthony Atwards.
But that doesn't mean that that that slows your offense down,
like totally and completely shut your your your offense down.
And maybe that's I started thinking to myself, this is
maybe where uh you know, what's what's what's what's the

(17:41):
kid that just went there from Dallas always makes their
names up.

Speaker 6 (17:44):
It's not Jokic, just what.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Luca By the way he's losing weight, you see that?

Speaker 5 (17:51):
Well, I thought he might have had a better he
This would have been a better looking series with a score.

Speaker 6 (17:57):
Who gives zero f's about what's going on? What's in
his face?

Speaker 5 (18:01):
If we need a point here, I'm putting it up
and it could be from deep I could be driving whatever.
And I think that's why Denver gave a Okay see
such a hard time is because you got a score
and the other one in Jokic where it just he
doesn't care wherever he's at, He's going to create his shot.

Speaker 6 (18:22):
See that in this series.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
I think the fact that it wins seven against Denver
is a credit to Jokic that he is that good
and that he's the best player in the league. Because
people also forget that Okac won sixty eight games this year.
Like historically, there's four teams that have had more wins
in a season than Okay see in the history of
the league.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
They're really that good.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
So I just the fact that Denver kept it close
as a credit to Joker, like he's he that's how
good he is. I don't I don't care who it
was that they were going to get. This is probably
what the end result is going to be, and they're
going to go to the finals. I think we see
our NBA championship team. I mean, I don't see anybody
out of the East beating Oka.

Speaker 6 (19:04):
See this year, I don't know who's going to come
out of the East.

Speaker 5 (19:08):
I think that there's a possibility, if Carl Anthony Towns
has found himself in that last game, that this could
be a really really hard series for Indiana to win.
Now if Karl Anthony Towns continues to play the way
he did in the second half of the last game.

Speaker 6 (19:30):
But I don't feel like it matters. And maybe I
could be wrong, maybe we.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
Got to see him play first, but I just I
think it's a foregone conclusion. Okac's going to win it,
and they proved how Donald.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Bam, Hey, you know, Brady and I have also said
that at times too.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
Bam.

Speaker 7 (19:50):
I said it after it was too old, But you know,
I don't get any I.

Speaker 6 (19:56):
Just got to tell you, guys.

Speaker 5 (19:57):
Man, if I'm looking at this with a critical eye,
I'm just thinking that this is going to be an
okay c year.

Speaker 6 (20:03):
Man, that's all, you know.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Nice face there, Huh.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
She didn't do it. She didn't do it on that one.
I was doing it to get another you know. I
mean that y'all shamed her out of giving me the
sticks pick, so I just figured i'd try to get
it to her again.

Speaker 6 (20:18):
She didn't do it, so that's really unfair.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
It is two pros and a cup of Joe here
on Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox
with you. So coming up, we are gonna have the usuals.
Pete Prisco should be stopping by. We'll see if he
does decide to show up following the big loss by
his Florida Panthers last night. So we'll get the thoughts
from Prisco on that and so much more around the NFL.
We've also got another edition of Lee's Leftovers We've got

(20:43):
in case you missed it, It's all yours here on
this three hour extravaganza. Up next, though, something is happening
today yet a crucial component to this in the NFL
is nowhere to be seen yet.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
We'll find out why right here on FSR.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
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 (21:13):
Oh man, could you just see var on his rollerblades
cruising state calls to this?

Speaker 6 (21:23):
Huh?

Speaker 5 (21:26):
I definitely would have been listening to a song like
this at times. You know, I grew up around some
real ogs, you know what I mean. This is the
type of music they played at the cookouts, or even
just sitting on the porch, you know what I mean,
watching the traffic go by, cats honking horn saying what's
up to your family while he's sitting there, you know
what I mean, cats playing in the water, plugs, stuff

(21:48):
like that.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (21:49):
This old school type stuff, hood strip type action, you
know what I mean. But yeah, this would have been
playing in the background and me too.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Steady, steady, I can't out it is Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Brady
Quinn Jonas Knox with you. Coming up a little over
fifteen minutes from now, we are going to tell you
how somebody in the NFL is exposing a lie. There's
a lie that has been told according to this one
player in the NFL. We will get into the details

(22:17):
on that for you here on FSR. So, today is
a noteworthy day in the world of football. The Steelers
OTA program starts today. So they've got six OTA practices.
They've got three this week, they've got another three next week,
and then mandatory mini camps starts June tenth. And to

(22:40):
our knowledge, Aaron Rodgers has not been seen anywhere near
the Pittsburgh area with these OTAs starting this week. And
so the question becomes, is there any sort of concern,
any issue, any worry or troublesome situation that we're looking

(23:03):
at here for the Steelers at quarterback with Mason?

Speaker 4 (23:06):
What do you think, Jonas?

Speaker 1 (23:07):
I think there's nothing to worry about. I think this
is uh, this is all part of the plan. And
I think Aaron Rodgers will be here before June tenth.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
So you think they should rock steady with os They're good.
I believe that.

Speaker 7 (23:21):
Yeah, I'm just saying, I look, I called my shot.

Speaker 6 (23:28):
You did.

Speaker 7 (23:30):
I've called my shot a long time ago about this.
I don't think there's anything to worry about. I think
Albert Albert Breer has made mention of this, and he's right.
If you think about what got Aaron Rodgers in the
most trouble probably the last couple of years, it's been
how he's handled the off season now, the initial off

(23:51):
season with the Jets, I don't think there's any issues
coming off the injury everything else. You know, there was
some thought that if you just avoids any potential miss
of anything mandatory, even though he was a part of
almost the entire offseason process, he'll be fine. He'll be
good to go. And that's where we're at now, where

(24:13):
whatever else he has going on in his personal life.
Heard mention of personal things going on. There's some other
things that are out there and circulating, But the point
is he doesn't have to worry about any of that.
He'll be back in time for training camp and it
gives us Steelers a legitimate shot to compete in what

(24:33):
I believe to be the most difficult division in the NFL.
So it might seem like it's panic mode, panic time.
But I think he shows up for training camp. I
think they're good to go.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
And with a.

Speaker 7 (24:46):
Seventeen game season, you know, most teams are kind of
finding their identity anyways, three or four games and end
of the year. It's not like they play Their start
is during some of these preseason games. Maybe he plays
in some of these preseason games, you know, maybe they
take a little bit of that risk just to be
able to get him more in the flow of things
with Arthur Smith's calling plays and with a lot of

(25:07):
the guys he's playing with in real time, to make
up for some of what he's lost in OTA's and
mini camp. Not that that makes that big of a
deal anymore, at least not when you're a guys played
twenty some years however long he's been in the league.

Speaker 5 (25:18):
Now, I'm just on wait and see, fellas. Honestly, there
could be so much excite.

Speaker 6 (25:27):
Oh no, that I'm going to wait and see.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Huh.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
All right, I mean that's a pick, isn't it.

Speaker 6 (25:34):
I am gonna pick.

Speaker 5 (25:35):
I am picking the option of waiting to see because
I'm not bullish on it, but I'm not down on
it either.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
But if if if I had.

Speaker 5 (25:46):
If I had to do something, I would rather do
something defense. I'm gonna rap. I just don't know what
side of the fence we end up on. And when
I say we, I say we, I mean we as
a fan. I don't know where we end up. I
just know this, and I made this point yesterday. The

(26:07):
stakes are high because you're talking about multiple years of just,
you know, just no clarity on where things are going
to end up at the quarterbacks position in Pittsburgh, and
I think being where we're at right now with not
one of the guys that were on the roster last

(26:30):
year that played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, not one is
there anymore. And we're talking about the potential of what
they're going to be from a guy who hasn't even
signed yet. Now, Granton, I look at what I heard
from UQ, and I'll say, you know, okay, we're basing
it on a strong, strong, strong possibility that he is

(26:54):
going to be on the team. But again, at this point,
what does that really represent? Like, I don't know what
Aaron Rodgers we're going to get. And if you don't
get a good Aaron Rodgers, if you don't get an
Aaron Rodgers, that can stay healthy and that long where.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Is Pittsburgh got Well, whatever whatever you get is going
to be the best quarterback play you've had since second
to last year of Ben Roethlisberger.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Like twenty nineteen, twenty twenty.

Speaker 6 (27:24):
I mean that's a safe assumption. Assumption.

Speaker 5 (27:28):
And then now the point becomes is he going to
be able to stay out there? What happens if Mason
Rudolph has to go? Is he the second option because
right now he's the first option until Aaron Rodgers gets there.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Well, I mean hopefully he doesn't get assaulted by Miles
Garrett again.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
I mean that's the hope.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
A small interesting storyline for certain Yeah, well, there you go.
You have a rematch between Mason Rudolph and and Miles Garrett.
If Aaron Rodgers doesn't make it there you go.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
Get hit with his heulblet again.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
He said something, but nobody heard that.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
That's weird.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
Good day.

Speaker 5 (28:06):
He'd be all right, he'd be a little safer you
were coming out defending him a little bit more.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
Oh you think so?

Speaker 6 (28:13):
Yeah? Man?

Speaker 4 (28:15):
Yeah, man, yeah, I don't I don't know. Lee would
still have Mile scats back.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Yeah, yeah, I got his back.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Hey, guys, take it easy.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Buddy, Brady, we were kicking this around yesterday. Do you
believe that this is what I think? Regardless Rogers signing
with Pittsburgh, which and I tried to look up odds,
there's not even odds available because everybody realizes the foregone conclusion.

(28:51):
They're still, in my mind the third team in the division,
even even with Rogers, like they're thankful Cleveland there because
Cleveland's a bit of a mess.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (29:03):
I was gonna ask you then then without Rogers, where
do they rank compared to Cleveland?

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Probably below really okay, because I'll take my chances with
Joe Flacco over whatever they've got there right now and
knocks Loucks.

Speaker 6 (29:18):
Oh good?

Speaker 7 (29:18):
I mean, are you assuming too it's Flack even though
Pickets supposedly getting the first team reps out the gate.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Yeah, it's gonna be uh Joey Flacco, all.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
Right, They're going to Waco for Flacco down in Cleveland again.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
I think Kevin Stefanski realizes I'm gonna win, and I'd
rather put my trust in a guy who I had
success with.

Speaker 7 (29:37):
By the way, underrated Beard For Kevin Stefanski. I don't
know what we talk about his beard enough, it's very
George Clooney esque. Is that fair to say a Cloney Look? Yeah,
he's that Cloney.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Look he's got a little werewolf to him if you look.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
Okay, I'm not going that direction there, Twilight.

Speaker 6 (29:54):
IM not sure.

Speaker 7 (29:55):
Yeah you're a vampire or whatever, look at it.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
Don't you trust a guy with a beard like that?

Speaker 6 (30:01):
Though?

Speaker 7 (30:01):
I feel like when when a guy like that with
the beard's talking to you, like, you know, he's probably right.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
It's a hell of a beard.

Speaker 5 (30:06):
Yeah yeah, well if all else fails, let's whoop some ass.

Speaker 6 (30:09):
I mean that's.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Because of the beard. Yeah, yeah, got a beard. The beard, Okay,
I got you.

Speaker 5 (30:18):
Then the reality sets in that they ain't tough. It
just they look tough. And then then then it's like
kind of like this conversation, like where do you go
if Aaron Rodgers and hit Well, he's clean shaven right now?

Speaker 4 (30:30):
I think, I mean, I think the alternatives you make
it play for cousins. I mean that would be your latch, like.

Speaker 6 (30:35):
I've heard that being thrown out there. Yeah, that would
have to.

Speaker 7 (30:39):
Be the other move you could make is Rogers doesn't come,
he wants to. I don't know, you retire whatever, and
there's still cousins of the potential of that.

Speaker 5 (30:49):
So and I think that that's I would be even
more on the fence. In fact, I might even have
my feet down on the side of where I wonder
why they made that toes down maybe big toes. I
might have my big toes down, be on my tippy toes.
I just don't see the way he finished out last year,

(31:12):
and after he got hit in that one game, and
he was just different after, like he had got the
yips or you know, just just was tired of getting hit.
The AFC North is not the division to be in
if you you can handle pressure. I mean, what team
isn't going to pressure him? Even if Cleveland is considered

(31:35):
to be the seller dweller of the division, they are
going to get after the quarterback they're going to I
don't know. I mean, if Hendrickson is happy in Cincinnati,
you know, I guess they'll be kind of formidable.

Speaker 6 (31:51):
I don't, I don't.

Speaker 5 (31:51):
I don't put Cincinnati ahead of the Steelers, to be honest,
I don't know why Jonas is so hell bent on
putting Cincinnati ahead of them. I think that their offenses
is amazing I think that there's potential, but they're Cincinnati
and Pittsburgh is Pittsburgh, and I just think unless unless
they go into the season with Mason Rudolph as a starter,

(32:14):
then I put them at three. But if they do
end up getting Aaron Rodgers, I would still have them
at two in the division behind Baltimore. And then again,
Baltimore is going to get after you defensively as well.
I think it's a horrible It's a horrible division for
someone like Kirk Cousins coming off of the type of
season that he had, and again, the pressure is going

(32:37):
to be so high, like got a feverish pitch for
Pittsburgh to do well this year. And I don't see
how you built the chemistry or you build what you're
going to have by getting rid of your number one receiver.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
Bye. And I know you brought in DK metcalv and
you got Woods. I get all that.

Speaker 5 (32:59):
I just don't see how this all comes together the
way that maybe enthusiasts would look at it coming together
with Aaron Rodgers showing up, you know, whenever it is,
he shows up again, and and if it is Kirk Cousins,
I feel I feel even less confident, which is crazy
to say because he's younger than Aaron Rodgers. But I

(33:20):
feel less confident right now. And what Kirk Cousins brings
to the table.

Speaker 6 (33:25):
Yeah, that's but.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
Lee is not paying attention to anything we're doing right now.

Speaker 6 (33:30):
Oh no, no, he's absolutely not.

Speaker 8 (33:34):
We got Brett Farvon Oh yeah, yeah, Brett fervdk ing.

Speaker 7 (33:40):
That's what the pictures, it's a Brett Favre doc what
I was just sent.

Speaker 8 (33:45):
Uh yeah, And that's also the disaster artist. That's uh,
mister James Franco that you're seeing right there in all
his glory.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
So Lee, why is that all uh HBO disaster artists?

Speaker 6 (34:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (34:00):
But why why is his bear?

Speaker 5 (34:02):
Ask?

Speaker 4 (34:04):
Why are we watching that sexcely?

Speaker 2 (34:06):
There's always a sex scene on him. The studio doesn't
have to be there, doesn't have to be.

Speaker 7 (34:10):
Though, That's what it's not accurate, you mean, I'm just
keeping tradition alive here. The weather channels radio, we haven't
seen a Michael Douglas movie and how long.

Speaker 8 (34:23):
I know, I don't know what's up with the programmers
at the HBO. They haven't put on a good Michael
Douglas movie in a while. So did the next best thing,
it doesn't happen.

Speaker 5 (34:36):
Michael Douglas was a mainstay when Berto was was on
the boards. I mean that's colors, colors, and and and
definitely Michael Douglas. So that is very true.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Berdo had problems.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
Man.

Speaker 7 (34:51):
Still still has that based based on the group text Roerto,
those problems have gone nowhere.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
But by the way, I've tried to reply on that,
did I am I not included?

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Can I not reply to messages?

Speaker 4 (35:03):
I don't know. You kind of got logged out again
on something has some issue.

Speaker 6 (35:06):
I can't be restricted, Like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
Are you glad you're back on social media?

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Jonas, Um, yeah, that's whatever.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
I mean, really what you wouldn't really be able to
like retweet a lot of the things that people say
if you weren't.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
So, yeah, that's true. But I felt like that was
we were all part of a group chain. Berto sent
something because he wanted, uh, he wanted some details on
Lee's buddies, Todd's recent date. And I went to go
reply and I couldn't reply, And so I don't know
if I like left the message or the group chain
to be a smart ass, and now I have to react.

Speaker 6 (35:45):
Yeah, you guys air blown up back.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
That's huge bit.

Speaker 6 (35:48):
Okay, yeah, you got caught up under that pressure.

bring you in case you missed it.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
And for that we turn it over to our executive producer,
Lead Lap.

Speaker 8 (37:22):
Good morning everybody, Good morning Jonas, Good morning, Bretty, Good
morning LeVar. Guys, in case you missed this, A little
tweet that went viral rest of you today from our
guy Dove Kleiman, who puts out just great tweets every day.
I went viral showing a five hundred thousand dollars custom
Rolls Royce allegedly ordered by Schador Sanders being delivered. You

(37:44):
can kind of see that, you know, it seemed seemingly
Shadoor talking about, hey did my car show up? And
whoever's filming it kind of looks down they see an
image of Shador. But Shadoor has come out and said
that quote another lie. I'm focused on my team, not
a car purchase exclamation points.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
I don't know you guys buying it?

Speaker 8 (38:02):
Did he did he use his four point six million
dollar contract to buy a five hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 6 (38:08):
Custom rolls Royce. I don't care, Yeah, I care about.

Speaker 7 (38:14):
First off, dove dove climbing. We don't know if it's
a real human being. No one's seeing who this person is.
It's a it's an account that aggregates content, so it
doesn't put out good content.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
None of its original content. It all comes from somewhere else.

Speaker 7 (38:27):
And then it's a repost on whoever this d bag is.
That's the first thing.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
The second thing is I don't care, like he can
spend his money.

Speaker 6 (38:36):
However, he was my first, like he won my first, second,
then third.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
But let's let's be clear about something. He's not getting
four point six million.

Speaker 7 (38:45):
Ly, his contract's not guaranteed, right, so he's gonna get
probably whatever he gets paid under his salary.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
This year.

Speaker 7 (38:53):
So in reality, if it is a half a million
dollar car, his contract's probably about for this salary for
the first year half a million bucks.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
He's most likely after tax is gonna be in debt.

Speaker 7 (39:04):
Now, he's made money during his time in college and
obviously comes from a wealthy family, but it's a terrible
financial decision if he's actually making that decision.

Speaker 4 (39:15):
But I'm not sure why you come out and deny it.

Speaker 7 (39:18):
Maybe because he feels like there's this perception that he's
not focused on football.

Speaker 4 (39:22):
But he's in the video, so I mean it. You
can hear the video, you can see the videos. It's
hard to kind of deny that. It's like, well, what
were you doing in the video?

Speaker 6 (39:28):
Then?

Speaker 4 (39:29):
Like what?

Speaker 7 (39:30):
Like these these things don't add up, So why deny it?
Why not just let it live out there? And who cares?

Speaker 1 (39:35):
Yeah, I mean that's what you get when you're reporting
on Dove Climan's reports.

Speaker 5 (39:40):
I mean, I guess at least he's out doing Travis
Hunter in something, right. I Mean, Travis Hunter got that
crazy ass g wagon, that version of.

Speaker 6 (39:50):
His his truck. Yeah, his that vehicle, But.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
Who do you get that for?

Speaker 6 (39:53):
Though he got it for his it was a wedding gift.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah, congratulations.

Speaker 5 (40:00):
Well there's a pre nup there isn't there? No, not
from what I hear. Yeah, is that what you were
getting at that you were alluding to. I don't know
what you mean, but I don't even care. I don't care.
Drive your whips, do what you want to do. Just
play football, live your life, life.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
What about the prenup?
