Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the best of two Pros and a couple
Joe with LaVar arings and rating Winn and Jonas Knox
on Radio Hell.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, this is a slightly awkward, searing not our song,
and boy this really.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Yeah, but you can't you can't talk? Come on, got
to let it play out.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I've still ever seen this movie.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
I'm never going to see this movie. Yes, I got
news for you. If it's Thirteenth Warrior. If this is
the preview to the movie, I'm good. If the music's
this bad, I can't even imagine what the actual movie's like.
(00:47):
But it's interesting. Why's that because there's only two Warriors today?
Why's that because var ain't here?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Why's that?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Well?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Who knows? It is a It is a mystery here
on Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. But it
is very very interesting considering what went down yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Brie, you do have.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
A quick edit for so a little bit of a
backstory here, Just so this makes sense.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
LaVar was giving Lee and Lorraine a hard.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Time yesterday because they are both off today and they
are both in Vancouver because.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
They are going with Coop and are going to be.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
A part of the Ben mallor meet and greet up
there and to hang out with the listeners, and so
you know, Lee wanted to be a part of that.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
A little weird, but hey, is what it is he
wanted to do.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
He wanted to take off our show and go be
a part of that with them all good.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
He had vacation days, not a big deal at all.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Leavar called him out on the air and it sounded
like this yesterday, I.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Have graduation today, right, I've had a very very busy week.
The twins are graduating high school today, right. And I
really was gonna take off tomorrow, like I was going
to take the show off tomorrow, going to I was
going to. But now I think to myself, like, I'm
not gonna let you outwork me. I'm not gonna let
Jonas Knox outwork me. So I'm gonna come in and
(02:18):
work tomorrow. And I see Loraina in the hallway and
I asked, Lorena, you know how you doing?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
What's going on this weekend? Die?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
She's out of town this weekend? Oh great, that's great, perfect,
gonna have a great time. How are you leaving us tomorrow?
You can't, you can't do the show. And then go.
That's what I'm saying. So you're leaving today, you're randomly
off tomorrow. You're standing on that.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I am off tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
No, No, that's not what I asked you to leave.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
I asked you. Are you randomly off tomorrow the same
day as Lorena?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I don't know what that means, but yes, I am
off tomorrow. And as it turns out, so is LeVar.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
After all that, after all that, and by the way,
we saved you, because that was the the abbreviated version
of it all. Job well done by Brie, but it
was a long interrogation.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And entire segment. You literally spend entire segment chastising Lee
for choosing to go to Vancouver, which from all accounts
cool place to go visit if you get an opportunity
to go, and why not and I have no problem
with it. But for the record, I don't have a
problem with LeVar bang off today. You can't be a
(03:29):
gigantic hypocrite and then be saying, yeah, you don't want
to be out worked apparely you didn't mind that now
and you can't chastise So what else? Were taking a
day off that you want to take off too? Just go,
it's not a big deal. It was.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
It was very very interesting to find out how this
whole thing played out. I mean, look, hopefully he's in
Vancouver too, like that would make the story even better.
But nonetheless, I know LeVar to be Brady Quinn and
I taken you all the way up until nine am
Eastern time, six o'clock Pacific, and look, you know, we
were pointing out that it is a football Friday here
on the show, as much as we talked about the
(04:04):
Pacers and the Knicks and what happened last night and
New York survives and they're onto another game six in Indiana.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
We did get some news yesterday, though it did become
official yesterday. If people were wondering, so what the hell
are we going to do the first couple of weeks
of the college football.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Season, Oh, don't worry.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
We've got the answer just for you, because ladies and gentlemen,
we now know the first three weeks, the big noon
kickoff schedule has at least the first three weeks.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
And the last game of the season.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, of course.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
And uh, and the Mountain West championship game as well too.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I saw that's right, championship.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
So when when when Hawaii goes to the Mountain West
Championship game, it should be it should be a fun time.
Week one, August thirtieth, a block buster Texas at Ohio
State in Columbus at the Horseshoe, the defending national champions
against the Texas Longhorns. Should be a fun ride there.
(05:13):
Week two the Sihawk. We've got Iowa at Iowa State
in Ames. That's September sixth. Week three you go to Evanston,
Oregon at Northwestern on September thirteenth. The first three weeks
of the college football schedule have been said as far
as the big noon kickoff goes.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And my big question is.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Will the fans in Ames and Evanston both bitch about
the star time considering.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
It is even an hour earlier than.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
The fans in Columbus and certain politicians have been complaining
about when it comes to Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I'm just wondering, are the star times going to be
a problem again for people?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Absolutely not. The other game obviously that's marked on the schedule,
that is guaranteed is Ohio State at Michigan playing and
ann Arbor. We'll see if they can break through. But
that game traditionally has been and most likely will be
at noon noon kick. You do bring up a good point.
There's been a lot of people, in particular Ohio State fans,
(06:14):
even some Penn State fans, who've been frustrated with the
star times for games. I just want't people to understand
when Ohio State Texas, which was originally announced as a
Fox game, that game, the time was not announced, and
there's a reason for that they didn't announce until yesterday
because Ohio State and Texas, we all know how monumental
(06:36):
of a game this is. I mean, just to put
into perspective as a team who's the defending national champion
hosting arguably their toughest, maybe best opponent of their entire schedule,
and every TV network's very cognizant of how important that
game is, and so there was a lot of effort
to put it into prime time. This isn't like me
(06:58):
just trying to posture for Fox, right thing, because I'll
remind people our pregame show for Fox has zero to
do with the start time of games. I know, because
we show up there people think that, but we did
five different games last year that were not noon kicks.
We were at a completely different property for a three
(07:20):
point thirty or a four o'clock kick in a completely
different part of the country. And we've been two primetime
games before where we've been there in the morning, four
games that weren't until night. So I will reiterate we
have zero to do with the star times of games.
This is how it worked out per the Big Ten
(07:41):
media rights deal, which Fox has handsomely paid two billion
dollars to the Big Ten four. It's one of the
reasons why the Big Ten Conference makes the most of
any of the Power four conferences from their TV media
rights deal. And then obviously CBS and NBC are part
of that. There's a structured agreement. Fox is at noonb yes,
I said three thirty, NBC's in primetime. In order to
(08:03):
move a game that you have selected to a primetime spot,
you have to work with that network to move it.
So if I was to say to you hypothetically speaking,
there was a conversation with NBC and they asked, Hey,
can we move this game in primetime? What do you think?
NBC said Jays. The game then was talked about with
Texas O House State to be played on Sunday, where
(08:25):
like hey, would you be able to want to play
this game on Sunday, So the thirty first, not the thirtieth,
on Sunday in primetime. Ohio State was for it. Texas
said no, which has come out in about a week
or so ago. That sorted the leak out. So I
know there's people who are frustrated with the start time
of the game. Every effort was made to put this
(08:45):
game in primetime. As a former player and now working
in this job, it doesn't make any difference to me
whether the game's at noon or whether it's in primetime.
And I understand the atmosphere and primetime is what it
is for fans and players. I get that, like we
want it to be in primetime, we do, but the
(09:06):
reality is per the Big Ten Media Rightes Agreement and
per the University of Texas, who didn't want to delay
it another day, the game couldn't be moved. So there's
nothing that we can do about that. So Ohio Stay
fans can be upset about it. Go talk to your university,
Go talk to the Big Ten conference. This is the
deal that Kevin Warren signed before he left and went
(09:28):
to the Chicago Bears. So there's a lot of other
people who are basically pointing the finger. You'd have taken
responsibility into all this. So that's the tough part about
the start time for Texas and Ohio State, Like, we'll
still be excited to be there. It's a huge game
that doesn't change anything for us.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
So they had options and this could have been placed elsewhere.
So the idea that you guys are catching the flak
is you're catching the flack for somebody else's ultimately somebody
else's decision.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Sort of. I mean there's options, but their options are
limited because we have to have again the agreement from
any game you want to move, whether it's CBS or
NBC into those windows, you have to get that network
to clear off on it, because that's part of how
the media rights deal with structured for the Big ten.
It's different for the SEC. It's just Disney owns that,
so they can basically place and put whatever teams they want,
(10:19):
whatever windows they want, because they're controlling all of it
between ABC and ESPN, So it's an entirely different structure
because you're not working within your own network, you're working
with the other networks you're competing with, right you're competing
with those networks for advertised dollars. Again, there's a reason
why the Big ten gets two billion a year. It's
(10:39):
because of largely what Fox has built with this new window,
which until last year was the most watched window in
college football. And so that means that you get more
advertising dollars. That means that TV network can pay you
more money for the rights to those games. So everything
else that goes into our athletics program, they're getting paid
(11:01):
more from Fox and CBS and NBC. Then you're saying
from Disney to the.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
SEC, I guess the part that I still have a
hard time understanding when it comes to the complaining is
it's not like it's no man's land. Like we're not
talking about you know, Pac twelve after dark. We're not
talking about oh, it's you know, Hawaii's playing at eleven
fifty nine pm Eastern time. We're not talking about the
(11:29):
Latin You're it's literally it's a giant window. It's a
giant audience. The numbers have proven so, and yet they're
still complaining, Well, we don't want to have kickoffs at
early Okay, so what do you do? You want to
move all the way back so you have it so
you can get a bunch of stuff done during the
day and then you can have your game.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Like, I just I don't understand that. And the first
guy I think.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Then I forget his name, the ad at Oklahoma who
is complaining about all these these eleven am start times
and these eleven am you know, Local I's there. It's like, dude,
would you rather be playing in a window that was
seen by less people?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Like?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Would you rather have less people see your program? Like?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I don't understand that whole concept, because it feels like
when you guys do go to these places, when you
do go to other places, when you're gonna be in Evanston,
when you're gonna be in ams, man, those people are
fired up for it and there and it's an hour earlier.
This isn't like and you were on the call for
one of these games. Didn't you call a game at
(12:31):
nine am at the Rose Bowl during COVID like you
And was that a Sunday nine am game or some
crazy the some weird time like that Local. We're not
talking about nobody watching, no audience whatsoever. You're opening up,
you know, a giant concert and you're the first opening
app with nobody there. The audience is huge, the fans
(12:53):
are there, the eyeballs are there, the attention is there,
the coverage is there. You guys do it up as
well as anybody. I don't get the complaints. I really don't.
It doesn't It doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
It's interesting you brought up the athletic director for Texas
because he used to be the athletic director for Oklahoma.
You're referencing Joe Costiglia, who made the comments about the
Star Times, and you know, the reality is he's the
idea of Texas. It's one of the reasons why you know,
again he doesn't he says he doesn't like it, yet
(13:26):
he will on the road in this case because apparently
they're worried about San Jose State, who they play in
Week two on September sixth, and that's why they don't
want to have a short week and play on Sunday.
Otherwise the game would be in primetime and it would
be going head to head versus Notre Dame Miami. So again,
I understand the frustration from Ohio State fans or even
other fan bases that, for example, like Penn State's already announced.
(13:48):
I believe their white out game this year is versus
organ Well. Last year their white out game was announced
that it was worth first Washington before the season, but
we had Penn State, Ohio State, and for some reason
like they want that to be a whiteout too. Minuder
standing from LeVar, a minor standing from other Penn State
folks is that they have one white out a year.
(14:08):
I didn't know we were doing multiple. So again Fox
was looking at trying to move it hard too. For
a couple of reasons. A they had the World Series
which was Yankees Dodgers. No disrespect to Penn State and
Ohio State, you're not going to rate higher than a
Yankees Dodgers what would have been a game six or
seven whatever it was in that series, even though it
didn't make it that far, so that it was tough
to be able to adjust the windows for that reason,
(14:30):
but also again working with the other partnering networks that
also made it difficult. So you know, when you look
at the grand landscape of it, it's not as simple
as saying, oh, we have this game, let's throw in
prime time. And that's in part because of the deal
that was signed by every Big Ten school Ohio State,
Penn State included, and the TV networks as well. And
this is the first style of we've really had three
(14:54):
different networks, you know, cutting into a conference like this
in such a major way. You Usually it's been like
a shared between Fox and ESPN, who are sharing the
rights to like the Big twelve, and so you're only
working with one other partner going back and forth. Now
you've got two others that you're trying to kind of
make everyone happy, and it's hard sometimes to do so.
So again I get the frustration. We have zero to
(15:17):
do with that for our pregame show.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
So it's just wild any any reason to bitch, just why,
And there's nothing, by the way, there's nothing wrong with
having the game that early.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
One of the great sporting events you can go to
is a.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Friday day game at Wrigley Field one twenty first pitch,
you're out by four o'clock. You got the rest of
your day ahead of you. Come on, man, the game
wraps up, Ohio State picks up another win. It's three
point thirty three forty five in the afternoon in Columbus,
and you just get all your buddies together and you
go rent out of booth at Vaso later on that
(15:56):
night in Dublin, and you tear it up for the
rest of the night. What's the bitch about? And you
can watch all the other games. You can watch all
the other games and enjoy the rest of your day
as opposed to having to gear up? Is it because
of the tailgating? Is because of well, we can't tailgate
as long. Sure you can't start at midnight. Do what
Lee to Lap would do. It just feels like there's
(16:17):
options here.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Do what LeVar does all day. It doesn't matter when
the game starts, you're gonna leave it halftime. You needna
tail it afterwards, you gonna the game, the game had
it hours ago, you're still off their tailgating. That's that's
what he does.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Like there's options here, but but the idea that it's like,
oh my god, this is a punishment really, Like do
you know how many schools would kill for the opportunity
to be seen with that audience, with that many eyeballs
and to have you guys there, How many schools are like, God,
we'd love to We'd love to be a part of this. Like, look,
they can say whatever they want about Dion and coach
(16:50):
Prime and the growth and all the popularity. A big
part of that was your guys's presentation of that place,
the beautiful backdrop up that like what they like, Texas
Tech put on a show last year. Yet Danny Amandola
blowing stuff up on set, like like, it's not like
you guys just go in there, take over and tear.
(17:11):
It's not like the Olympic Village and everything's look know,
you're like building up and help build up the promotion
of a program. I just the complaints have never It's
never made sense to me, honestly.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Well, look, I understand it from the standpoint of and
I mean look, in many cases, if we're there, it's
it's a big game. It's a big matchup. And so
I understand that, especially for Ohio State fans. Because I
was there at the Ohio State Tennessee game. I know
exactly what that atmosphere looks like at night. I grew
up going as a kid. I've just went recently, so
I understand how how electric it may be. And clearly,
(17:44):
based on how that game went, you'd say this is
an advantage for us, But there also is an element
of like you're still playing Texas at home, and this
will largely be the toughest game that arch Manning plays
up until the playoff, and you could maybe even say
it'll be the toughest start that Archie Manning ever has
in his career. You know, some people who have put
(18:05):
out these projected mock drafts after the twenty twenty five
season have him as the number one quarterback. He's started
what three games, and he's played in a handful of others.
So if you're looking at it from a timing standpoint
on a young quarterback having to play on the road
versus Ohio State, like this sets up perfectly for you.
(18:25):
And again a lot of time to prepare before the season,
but for his to cut his teeth Ohio State in Columbus,
it's just a tall task. And I understand how they're
you know, if you're in a night game atmosphere, you
feel like, well, maybe that gives you an advantage. Like
I've been in that stadium for night games. I've been
in that stadium for a noon Gameshow stage fans show
out regardless, it doesn't matter what time it is. It
(18:46):
just they seem to, you know, think that the night
time gives them a big time advantage. And I've always said,
like night games are fun to plan, they stink to
wait for. That's one thing I know as a player,
like I'd much rather play earlier in the day. But again,
I understand and the frustration with it. I'm just trying
to explain to people so they know that it's not
like purely sitting on Fox. Like they did what they
could to try to move the game to primetime. It
(19:09):
just it didn't work out that way. There's a lot
of other moving pieces.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
I mean, now we've got to figure out, uh, you know,
which games we're going to be a part of this show.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I mean, you know Oregon Northwestern would be would be a.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I mean you think Texas Ohio State that we would
be able to figure that out.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I mean, you know the graduates, right, I mean, it's
been there before.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's what I'm saying. We've been there before, We've done
it before. It makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
They had a wheel LaVar In on a gurney.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Never he thought he had he had a legit was
it an achilles injury or foot injury. Then we just we
I mean I diagnosed Gollop pretty quick and he was like,
oh yeah, maybe it is that and sure enough it
was just gout.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Yeah. I think I told him to. Yeah, my my
buddy went through the same thing. He said it was.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Gout like red meat scout and like some some issues
like that. So yeah, I mean, well, alcohol, too much alcohol.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
This seems this seems possible, man, Yeah, I mean it
does seem possible. We'll see if we can get everyone
everyone there. You know, he's not here today, but it is.
It is interesting. That was a very NBA S type
injury for LeVar where there's a lot of drama.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
The whole like wheelchair situation.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
That's that's true.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I am off tomorrow, thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
He is, Yeah, he is. He's gonna be off for
a while most likely. But it was interesting that he
he has this whole wheelchair situation just to find out
his gout. I haven't known many people who dealt with
the wheelchair because of gout. Now, maybe I don't know
that many people with gout, but that felt like, I
don't know, kind of felt I was a Paul Pierce
who got yeah, yeah, yeah, kind of. It kind of
(20:42):
felt like that sort of injury drama behind it.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
And he was there, and he was there. We got
to got to hang out the graduates.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Yeah, that would be that would be a follow On
August thirtieth, we got Texas, Ohio State. Maybe we'll make
that happen as well too, And and if we did,
I'm sure are our backs will be tip top, you know,
tip top, no back pain whatsoever for any of us
at all.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
I can promise you that. It is, you know, two
pros and a cup of Joe Here on Fox Sportsins.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
You're the worst at this. I mean, can't we just
naturally get to it? I mean, do you want to
do the blue cheer read first?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Natural, naturally get to what? What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
All right? Listen, I'm dealt with a lot of backpain,
a lot of other bumps and bruises injuries throughout the
course of my life. And here's the thing. There's only
a number of things that make a difference, and your
mattress is no doubt one of them. Matches Firms, sleep experts.
They'll help you find the perfect bed for your unique needs.
Get matched at mattress firms for more day of sail
and sleep at night.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
It is two pros and a cup of Joe.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Here on Fox Sports Radio, Brady Quinn Jonas Knox with
you here coming up next.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
It is a Friday tradition.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
We're gonna round them all up, all right, We're gonna
round them all up here, and that'll be yours on FSR.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
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 4 (22:04):
It is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here
on Fox Sports Radio. Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you
here by the way, coming up a little over fifteen
minutes from now.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Who needs Lee? We don't. We got Brie. So we
are going to have Breeze leftovers.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Here, and I've got a funny feeling they won't involve
stealing content from somebody else and passing it off like
it's theirs, like Lee likes to do from time to time.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I wonderful it'll involve drinking, though, because that's a common
thing for Lee. So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
I've remember, by the way, Bria, I've never seen you
butchered before. Have you ever gotten one's left time?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
We got hammered. I was with Monsey and I think
it was a week and a half ago. Oh okay,
well that makes sense. Yeah there were shots involved.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, gee, that's usually the case. Although for Lee again,
he's uh, he's a shot in a beer. Guys like
the wire. Yeah, he walks in, He's a shot in
a beer, and that's how he starts his drinking.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
My favorite is when he explains it away, we gotta
have a shot and a beer. No, not really, No,
you actually don't. You actually don't have to have either,
to be honest with you. But he's as well, you
just kind of you already committed at that point. Well okay,
most people aren't. But he operates differently. So Breeze leftovers
will be yours here coming up in a little over
fifteen minutes from now. So the debate rages on who's
(23:18):
going to be involved when it comes to the flag
football and the Olympics. Patrick Mahomes said, hey, listen, I'm
going to leave that to the younger guys.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
You know, I'll be a little bit older by the
time that comes around.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Jason Kelsey was on the New Heights podcast and he
had an idea what it came to selecting the team.
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
I think a coach that is familiar with flag football
should select an NFL represented team, and that team should
just play this flag football team that's been playing for
a long time and feels like they are the best
at it and they don't need other guys, and then
whoever wins.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
This is like a mystery. Alaska's pretty much this is awesome.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
One because I agree. I do agree. If these guys
are the best, they should represent USA.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah, so it's a fair statement. I think in reality,
it's kind of the easy thing to say what they
should have as a qualifying and if the NFL players
want to go, they should be able to go and qualify,
or if the NFL wants to put together a team.
There's a couple of things though, like you're kind of
putting yourself at risk. It's almost like that big school,
(24:25):
that blue blood, trying to play a team that's a
FCS team. You know, it's like it's all upside for
the FCS team, but more often than not, you'd expect
the blue blood to pound the crap out of them
and go ahead and say, take our million dollars and
go back to where you came from. So there's a
bit of a risk there. I think for the NFL
if they put together a team and this other team
beat them, but I think they feel like their athletes
(24:48):
are far superior. The question becomes, you know the training involved,
you know, could you get the NFL players to take
it seriously. There's a number of things you can do
in flag football in regards to like trick and different
plays and things that are very different. I remember people
talking about the transition from Canadian football to the NFL
(25:08):
and everyone assumes like, oh, no, it's like the exact same.
It's like, well, not really, there's a twelve player, the
field dimensions are a lot different. It's what's much wider
and longer in Canada. There is you know, forward motion
and all those things that make it a little more
easier for guys to get open. It makes a hard
run defensive backs. There's a lot of things that change,
even the down and distance, how they go about looking
(25:29):
at first down and second down versus the NFL. So
there's there's they seem like subtle differences, but oftentimes they
can make a huge difference in how guys play the
game and how successful guys are at adapting and playing
that game.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
And I don't know if it's because it's three years out.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
I don't think there's as many NFL players that are
clamoring for the opportunity to do this as maybe some
people might think. Like AJ Brown spoke, he said, like, listen, man,
I'm getting ready for the season.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Mahomesh whatever, like.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
So that's where the bread's buttered. But I think what
you're underestimating is once you see how a lot of
these Olympic athletes make money and when marketing, because the
majority of them, that's how they've made their money. It
hasn't been from the success of winning a gold medal.
You get paid for it, but not that much. You
make all your money from endorsements and marketing. So to me,
(26:24):
there's a thought that, yes, you're an NFL player, maybe
a star, but if you could add that Olympic you know,
brand or title to your brand and be a part
of that or that kind of co branding if you will,
that's huge in regards to marketing dollars, and it also
opens you up to a much wider array of fans.
There's some people who are just Olympic fans. They geek
(26:46):
out about it. Right, we don't have football on it,
so they might not be football fans. They're just big
Olympic fans and they've they've you know, go to all
the different Olympics and they travel around the world and
enjoy it like that. Like there's people who just geek
out on that stuff.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
I don't want to say this and how come off
as disrespectful, But this, like this flag football Olympics or not,
feels beneath the NFL. It just does like it just
like it doesn't. It's not the NFL. It's it's the
NFL minus all the stuff that makes the NFL the NFL.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
And so would would you feel that way if it
was tackle like American tackle football?
Speaker 4 (27:25):
No, if it was if it was tackle football, let's
go like that, then then it's a better representative of
But this is like when I wonder if.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
They had better officiating in the Olympics, I think, so,
I don't know what if they Okay, what if they
had it? That alsoid the Olympics are like, no, we're
going to implement, replan everything, We're gonna have officials, And
we're like, oh, maybe the NFL should think about doing this.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Too.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Boy, wait, they do it a lot better than them,
and they've done this one time. It makes it makes
all the sense.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Of the work because but that was wasn't it the
ten minute quarters that they were doing in the Olympic
basketball and some people looked at that and said, know
this is maybe this is a better idea than what
the NBA is doing. I just it feels like a
completely different sport. Like Jared Allen, remember when he tried
he was going to try out for the curling team
in the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
He's like, I could go do the curling team.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Like I'd have more respect if Patrick Mahomes came out
and said, listen, I'm not interested in playing flag football,
but I'll beat anybody in the world at cornhole, I'd
respect it more because it's it's basically the same thing.
It's not it's not the NFL. It's not anything close
to the NFL. This guy, Darryl Ducett, who we talked
about earlier this week, I did. I did find it
(28:35):
entertaining that he says he's better than Patrick Mahomes, that
he is, that he's better than Mahomes when it comes
to all this. So I know you were talking about
his throwing motion.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yeah, I mean I think my next door neighbor throws
a better ball. I for honest, my next door neighbor,
Joe throws much better football. And by the way, but again,
there's more that goes into playing flag football. He's elusive,
he runs around, you know in some of these cases,
like some of these guys have to play both ways,
which I don't know if there's a roster limit. There's
a lot of questions I have. And again I haven't
looked into it because it's not really it's not real football,
(29:07):
you know, if it's just something you play in gym class.
So again, I have no idea how it became an
Olympic sport. Like I'm looking at like, all right, did
the USA push this, like were we pushing that hard?
Or was like the rest of the world, Like what
other country went to the Olympic Committee or the International
Olympic Committee IOC and said hey, we need flag football
(29:29):
to be a part of this. It's huge in Italy
right now. The Italians are really pushing for for Yeah,
they're pushing for baking and they're pushing for you know,
flag football. Well we got flag football, and okay, how
you doing. I don't know. It seems odd that, like
it had this big wave behind it, Like why wouldn't
it just be American football if you really want to
do it?
Speaker 4 (29:48):
All right, So I looked this up, the LA twenty
eight Olympics. Man, that'll be a good time. I'm sure
they'll get everything cleaned up for that and then it'll
go back to normal afterwards. But the LA twenty eight
Olympics will feature new and returning sports, the debut of
flag football and squash, the return of baseball, softball, cricket,
(30:09):
I love cricket, cricket, and lacrosse are In addition, new
swing events like the fifty meter backstroke, the breaststroke, and
the butterfly will be added, along with mixed gender events
in gymnastics and track and field.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
So look, I mean, there's a joke there to be had,
but I'm not going to say, don't worry everybody the
Olympics for that yeah going on around.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
I just I mean, I don't know there's And we
were making the point earlier this week. Audition by the way,
three on three basketball is increased to twelve teams per gender.
Sport climbing, artistic gymnastics.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
What's sport climbing is that?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
I don't know. Can you look that up?
Speaker 4 (31:01):
What sport climbing is, because apparently that's an Olympic event
that'll be coming. And then you know, lacrosse bringing it
back for the first time since nineteen oh eight. It
hasn't been around what.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah, I was gonna say, I thought when you were
mentioning these, I was like, oh, lacrosse is the first
time because I don't ever remember making part of the Olympics.
But that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
The cricket returning to the program for the first time
since nineteen hundred, So apparently.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I don't think we're gonna win that one.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yeah, that's that's a long shot. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
India is probably the favorite on that one. Yeah, this
something tells.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Me, Yeah, the New Delhi Devils. Uh bree. What is
sport climbing?
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Do you have a It's like a discipline of like
bouldering and lead climbing, So they're bouldering while they're rock
climbing at the same time, like.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Ignorant to all this. What is bouldering?
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Bouldering is a type of rock climbing that you're you're
grabbing different boulders while you're rushing bulging or border bouldering, bulging.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
No, something what a lot of people are like probably
sing right now in the gym R that is that
is a fair point as they're listening to us.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
And just so I'm clear, because I could definitely make
the corn Old team for sure.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
No, but I don't see it here.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
You couldn't, all right. I just there's little I've watched
you try to do certain athletic things that just I don't.
I don't think you got it.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I want you to listen to me.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
There.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
There's nobody you've ever walked by in your life. Nobody
you've ever seen it a barbecue, Nobody you've ever encountered
there in Ohio that could even touch me when it
comes to a corn hole board.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Nobody, right, all right, nobody. I think if most people
saw you walk they would be unless they've got an
oil can somewhere to help, like loosen this guy up.
He's not going to be able to throw it a
bean bag or whatever the hell that thinks stuff. By
the way, that's insulting, not as insulting as Mark who
says you should change the name of the show to
(32:57):
one pro and a vampire.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Maybe I don't know what it's like. You guys have
spun this narrative that I have no color like that.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
There is no you.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
You do look translucent at times. You definitely look like
you should be taking a Vitamin D supplement because you
do not see the sun very I would not. I
would not compare you, though to a vampire. I've always
told you you look like the dude from Hunger Games
or I think Wes Bentley is the actor's name from Yellowstone.
Not not that character though, more the character that he
(33:32):
was in the Hunger Games. Okay, I mean that's who
you look like.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
By the way, did did Kevin Kostner like get kicked
off Yellowstone?
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Is that what happened?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Something happened, There was some sort of a fallout and
he got a They told him to take a walk.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Like, dude, we had a fourth kid, and all those
shows that I used to love watching became shows that
would fall asleep within the first five minutes. Well, yeah,
it's all like it just I put my head down,
I started watching something with the wife, and then it
just we're both passed out. When we wake up later
on I'm like, this is pointless. I mean, it's just
the whole thing's pointless.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Yeah, we did a last movie. We took our son too.
We took him and his cousins to Paddington in Peru.
Just brutal and it's middle of the day and within
thirty to forty five minutes, I'm dozing off.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Dark theater. Bad movie, it's over, it's not happening.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Some would call that painful, and but for me, if
you're dealing with pain like that, you got to find
the right mattress because a movie theater is not going
to do it for you. Because the right mattress makes
all the difference. And that's why mattress from sleep experts
still help you find the perfect bed for your unique needs. Jonas.
No more sleeping at the movie theater. Go to mattress firm.
Take advantage of them a more days sale so you
can sleep at night.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
I'm talking right there.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
See that's you don't have to tea. We can do
it naturally. We can do this naturally.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
Oh yeah, I'm talking about it is two pros and
a cup of Joe. Here on Fox Sports Radio, Brady
Quinn Jonas NOx with you here. Know LeVar Arrington coming
up next here though, we are going to close up
shop with a special something. Normally it's Lee's Leftovers, but
screw that guy. We've got Breeze Leftovers right here on FSR.

a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific

Speaker 5 (35:26):
I have graduation today, right, I've had a very very
busy week. The twins are graduating high school today, right.
And I really was going to take off tomorrow, Like
I was going to take the show off tomorrow, going
to I was going to. But now I think to myself, like,
I'm not gonna let you outwork me. I'm not gonna
let Jonas Knox outwork me. So I'm going to come
(35:48):
in and work tomorrow. And I see Loraina in the
hallway and I asked, Lorena, you know how you doing?
Speaker 2 (35:54):
What's going on this weekend? Dad?
Speaker 5 (35:56):
She's out of town this weekend. Oh great, that's great, perfect,
great time. How are you leaving us tomorrow? You can't,
you can't do the show and then go, that's what
I'm saying. So you're leaving today, you're randomly off tomorrow.
You're standing on that.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I am off tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
No, no, that's not what I asked you. I asked you.
Are you randomly off tomorrow the same day as Lorena?
Speaker 3 (36:20):
I don't know what that means, but yes, I am
off tomorrow, and so is LeVar unbelievable?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Can we get a round of applause for one Jonas
Knox for outworking LeVar Arrington who was so he wasn't
gonna let one Jonahs knocks outwork him. I'll show you, Jonas.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
First of all, this isn't work, like we just can
we just fall like all ignowledge at at some point
like this is not work. People listening right now are
doing real work. You're doing real work, all right. We're
playing grab ass on the radio and slapping it up
here on a football Friday.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
That's what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
So can I say this too, just quickly, listeners, thank
you like a blessing. We appreciate you, and and that
those sentiments gonna be any truer, like what you get
to do is so much fun. We're appreciative of the
love even some of the hate man. Even if you
don't like us, you're still doing it anyway, so we
appreciate it. So I just want you to know like
we're very grateful for you. And even though even though
(37:21):
some of us didn't show up today, we could still
speak on their behalf because every once in a while
everyone needs a day off.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
And also a dynamite job by Bree and Mary Mac
held it down here, you know, who did not take
off to Canada like like those other three yahoos.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
I'm just appreciative that Bree is sober because there's that too.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Which always helps. It's amazing, thank you, Brie.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
It's amazing how many things we can get done during
the show with a uh, with a lot of sobriety.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
So thank you for that.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
You know, like man, last Call really is effective. It

Speaker 2 (38:51):
I didn't say anything, Jonas, I promise, yes, Yondah.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
It's actually not it's tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah, yeah, I know. Well we can't celebrate tomorrow, so
we gotta celebrate it today.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
I gotta be uh, you know, hey, listen, round of
applause to Brady Quinn.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
First time in our knife. What the hell was that?
Speaker 2 (39:13):
It's eleven years? Eleven years, ten years?
Speaker 4 (39:16):
The first time in ten eleven years, Brady Quinn, who
just gave the most insulting impression.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Of one of my in laws that I've ever heard
in my life.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
For first time, Brady Quinn is actually remembered. So listen,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
For lase coopy.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
I so yeah, listen, I appreciate it. You know, I
can no longer tell the tale.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
We used to. I don't know if brief Bride doesn't
know this. I don't think Mary Mack does. We used
to tell Jonah's Happy Birthday like every day because he
would never tell us his birthday. We would never remember it,
and then he would remind us at the end of
a show, today was my birthday, like sorry, man, and
then the show would ends. So we finally got I
finally put in my calendar, so I actually remember from that.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
You know, it was an all time room.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
We were doing the Sunday Night show and Live bet
Jesus came on and you were like, dude.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
What event are you calling?
Speaker 2 (40:18):
What?
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Like, what event is Live at Jesus is going to
be making a prediction on?
Speaker 4 (40:21):
And I opened up the paper right as the show
was going off the air and said, I predict that
Brady Quinn and Steve Desaga will both forget Jonas's birthday again.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
And then we went right.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
To and he got it right, because you guys did
forget it that he got right. It was like one
of one of one hundred out of one in a hundred.
I believe it was his career record.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
But well, we hope you have a wonderful happy birthday.
I appreciate it heavy lifting that you do during the show,
and I know you don't want to make it about you.
You're the type of guy that's like that, but we
do want to show our appreciation for you and even
the people who say the mean stuff that you end
up retweeting. It's great on Saturdays. I know you find
it entertaining, but those people love you too. I think
(41:03):
they just like when you retweet their their mean tweets.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
Yeah, they do, they definitely do well. I appreciate it.
Thank you, guys.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
Brie.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
Do you have anything about yourself that you'd like to share, Like,
what do you got going on this weekend?
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Myself? Leftovers? Come on my leftover. You're my favorite host here,
So there you go. Stop, I'm working this weekend. Good
for you. Thank you, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
Yeah, be hanging out with with Chris Plank later on
with Chris Plank later on the Fellas Anthony Gargano.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Yep, So thank you guys. It was a fun day.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Thank you guys, oh, Chris, I said Boomer.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
Okay, thanks to Bree, Thanks to Marry Mack, Thanks Brady.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
I appreciate you all listening here on two pros and
a cup of Joe.
This is the best of two Pros and a couple
Joe with LaVar arings and rating Winn and Jonas Knox
on Radio Hell.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, this is a slightly awkward, searing not our song,
and boy this really.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Yeah, but you can't you can't talk? Come on, got
to let it play out.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I've still ever seen this movie.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
I'm never going to see this movie. Yes, I got
news for you. If it's Thirteenth Warrior. If this is
the preview to the movie, I'm good. If the music's
this bad, I can't even imagine what the actual movie's like.
(00:47):
But it's interesting. Why's that because there's only two Warriors today?
Why's that because var ain't here?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Why's that?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Well?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Who knows? It is a It is a mystery here
on Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. But it
is very very interesting considering what went down yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Brie, you do have.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
A quick edit for so a little bit of a
backstory here, Just so this makes sense.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
LaVar was giving Lee and Lorraine a hard.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Time yesterday because they are both off today and they
are both in Vancouver because.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
They are going with Coop and are going to be.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
A part of the Ben mallor meet and greet up
there and to hang out with the listeners, and so
you know, Lee wanted to be a part of that.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
A little weird, but hey, is what it is he
wanted to do.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
He wanted to take off our show and go be
a part of that with them all good.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
He had vacation days, not a big deal at all.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Leavar called him out on the air and it sounded
like this yesterday, I.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Have graduation today, right, I've had a very very busy week.
The twins are graduating high school today, right. And I
really was gonna take off tomorrow, like I was going
to take the show off tomorrow, going to I was
going to. But now I think to myself, like, I'm
not gonna let you outwork me. I'm not gonna let
Jonas Knox outwork me. So I'm gonna come in and
(02:18):
work tomorrow. And I see Loraina in the hallway and
I asked, Lorena, you know how you doing?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
What's going on this weekend? Die?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
She's out of town this weekend? Oh great, that's great, perfect,
gonna have a great time. How are you leaving us tomorrow?
You can't, you can't do the show. And then go.
That's what I'm saying. So you're leaving today, you're randomly
off tomorrow. You're standing on that.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I am off tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
No, No, that's not what I asked you to leave.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
I asked you. Are you randomly off tomorrow the same
day as Lorena?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I don't know what that means, but yes, I am
off tomorrow. And as it turns out, so is LeVar.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
After all that, after all that, and by the way,
we saved you, because that was the the abbreviated version
of it all. Job well done by Brie, but it
was a long interrogation.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And entire segment. You literally spend entire segment chastising Lee
for choosing to go to Vancouver, which from all accounts
cool place to go visit if you get an opportunity
to go, and why not and I have no problem
with it. But for the record, I don't have a
problem with LeVar bang off today. You can't be a
(03:29):
gigantic hypocrite and then be saying, yeah, you don't want
to be out worked apparely you didn't mind that now
and you can't chastise So what else? Were taking a
day off that you want to take off too? Just go,
it's not a big deal. It was.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
It was very very interesting to find out how this
whole thing played out. I mean, look, hopefully he's in
Vancouver too, like that would make the story even better.
But nonetheless, I know LeVar to be Brady Quinn and
I taken you all the way up until nine am
Eastern time, six o'clock Pacific, and look, you know, we
were pointing out that it is a football Friday here
on the show, as much as we talked about the
(04:04):
Pacers and the Knicks and what happened last night and
New York survives and they're onto another game six in Indiana.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
We did get some news yesterday, though it did become
official yesterday. If people were wondering, so what the hell
are we going to do the first couple of weeks
of the college football.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Season, Oh, don't worry.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
We've got the answer just for you, because ladies and gentlemen,
we now know the first three weeks, the big noon
kickoff schedule has at least the first three weeks.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
And the last game of the season.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, of course.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
And uh, and the Mountain West championship game as well too.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I saw that's right, championship.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
So when when when Hawaii goes to the Mountain West
Championship game, it should be it should be a fun time.
Week one, August thirtieth, a block buster Texas at Ohio
State in Columbus at the Horseshoe, the defending national champions
against the Texas Longhorns. Should be a fun ride there.
(05:13):
Week two the Sihawk. We've got Iowa at Iowa State
in Ames. That's September sixth. Week three you go to Evanston,
Oregon at Northwestern on September thirteenth. The first three weeks
of the college football schedule have been said as far
as the big noon kickoff goes.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And my big question is.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Will the fans in Ames and Evanston both bitch about
the star time considering.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
It is even an hour earlier than.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
The fans in Columbus and certain politicians have been complaining
about when it comes to Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I'm just wondering, are the star times going to be
a problem again for people?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Absolutely not. The other game obviously that's marked on the schedule,
that is guaranteed is Ohio State at Michigan playing and
ann Arbor. We'll see if they can break through. But
that game traditionally has been and most likely will be
at noon noon kick. You do bring up a good point.
There's been a lot of people, in particular Ohio State fans,
(06:14):
even some Penn State fans, who've been frustrated with the
star times for games. I just want't people to understand
when Ohio State Texas, which was originally announced as a
Fox game, that game, the time was not announced, and
there's a reason for that they didn't announce until yesterday
because Ohio State and Texas, we all know how monumental
(06:36):
of a game this is. I mean, just to put
into perspective as a team who's the defending national champion
hosting arguably their toughest, maybe best opponent of their entire schedule,
and every TV network's very cognizant of how important that
game is, and so there was a lot of effort
to put it into prime time. This isn't like me
(06:58):
just trying to posture for Fox, right thing, because I'll
remind people our pregame show for Fox has zero to
do with the start time of games. I know, because
we show up there people think that, but we did
five different games last year that were not noon kicks.
We were at a completely different property for a three
(07:20):
point thirty or a four o'clock kick in a completely
different part of the country. And we've been two primetime
games before where we've been there in the morning, four
games that weren't until night. So I will reiterate we
have zero to do with the star times of games.
This is how it worked out per the Big Ten
(07:41):
media rights deal, which Fox has handsomely paid two billion
dollars to the Big Ten four. It's one of the
reasons why the Big Ten Conference makes the most of
any of the Power four conferences from their TV media
rights deal. And then obviously CBS and NBC are part
of that. There's a structured agreement. Fox is at noonb yes,
I said three thirty, NBC's in primetime. In order to
(08:03):
move a game that you have selected to a primetime spot,
you have to work with that network to move it.
So if I was to say to you hypothetically speaking,
there was a conversation with NBC and they asked, Hey,
can we move this game in primetime? What do you think?
NBC said Jays. The game then was talked about with
Texas O House State to be played on Sunday, where
(08:25):
like hey, would you be able to want to play
this game on Sunday, So the thirty first, not the thirtieth,
on Sunday in primetime. Ohio State was for it. Texas
said no, which has come out in about a week
or so ago. That sorted the leak out. So I
know there's people who are frustrated with the start time
of the game. Every effort was made to put this
(08:45):
game in primetime. As a former player and now working
in this job, it doesn't make any difference to me
whether the game's at noon or whether it's in primetime.
And I understand the atmosphere and primetime is what it
is for fans and players. I get that, like we
want it to be in primetime, we do, but the
(09:06):
reality is per the Big Ten Media Rightes Agreement and
per the University of Texas, who didn't want to delay
it another day, the game couldn't be moved. So there's
nothing that we can do about that. So Ohio Stay
fans can be upset about it. Go talk to your university,
Go talk to the Big Ten conference. This is the
deal that Kevin Warren signed before he left and went
(09:28):
to the Chicago Bears. So there's a lot of other
people who are basically pointing the finger. You'd have taken
responsibility into all this. So that's the tough part about
the start time for Texas and Ohio State, Like, we'll
still be excited to be there. It's a huge game
that doesn't change anything for us.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
So they had options and this could have been placed elsewhere.
So the idea that you guys are catching the flak
is you're catching the flack for somebody else's ultimately somebody
else's decision.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Sort of. I mean there's options, but their options are
limited because we have to have again the agreement from
any game you want to move, whether it's CBS or
NBC into those windows, you have to get that network
to clear off on it, because that's part of how
the media rights deal with structured for the Big ten.
It's different for the SEC. It's just Disney owns that,
so they can basically place and put whatever teams they want,
(10:19):
whatever windows they want, because they're controlling all of it
between ABC and ESPN, So it's an entirely different structure
because you're not working within your own network, you're working
with the other networks you're competing with, right you're competing
with those networks for advertised dollars. Again, there's a reason
why the Big ten gets two billion a year. It's
(10:39):
because of largely what Fox has built with this new window,
which until last year was the most watched window in
college football. And so that means that you get more
advertising dollars. That means that TV network can pay you
more money for the rights to those games. So everything
else that goes into our athletics program, they're getting paid
(11:01):
more from Fox and CBS and NBC. Then you're saying
from Disney to the.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
SEC, I guess the part that I still have a
hard time understanding when it comes to the complaining is
it's not like it's no man's land. Like we're not
talking about you know, Pac twelve after dark. We're not
talking about oh, it's you know, Hawaii's playing at eleven
fifty nine pm Eastern time. We're not talking about the
(11:29):
Latin You're it's literally it's a giant window. It's a
giant audience. The numbers have proven so, and yet they're
still complaining, Well, we don't want to have kickoffs at
early Okay, so what do you do? You want to
move all the way back so you have it so
you can get a bunch of stuff done during the
day and then you can have your game.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Like, I just I don't understand that. And the first
guy I think.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Then I forget his name, the ad at Oklahoma who
is complaining about all these these eleven am start times
and these eleven am you know, Local I's there. It's like, dude,
would you rather be playing in a window that was
seen by less people?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Like?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Would you rather have less people see your program? Like?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I don't understand that whole concept, because it feels like
when you guys do go to these places, when you
do go to other places, when you're gonna be in Evanston,
when you're gonna be in ams, man, those people are
fired up for it and there and it's an hour earlier.
This isn't like and you were on the call for
one of these games. Didn't you call a game at
(12:31):
nine am at the Rose Bowl during COVID like you
And was that a Sunday nine am game or some
crazy the some weird time like that Local. We're not
talking about nobody watching, no audience whatsoever. You're opening up,
you know, a giant concert and you're the first opening
app with nobody there. The audience is huge, the fans
(12:53):
are there, the eyeballs are there, the attention is there,
the coverage is there. You guys do it up as
well as anybody. I don't get the complaints. I really don't.
It doesn't It doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
It's interesting you brought up the athletic director for Texas
because he used to be the athletic director for Oklahoma.
You're referencing Joe Costiglia, who made the comments about the
Star Times, and you know, the reality is he's the
idea of Texas. It's one of the reasons why you know,
again he doesn't he says he doesn't like it, yet
(13:26):
he will on the road in this case because apparently
they're worried about San Jose State, who they play in
Week two on September sixth, and that's why they don't
want to have a short week and play on Sunday.
Otherwise the game would be in primetime and it would
be going head to head versus Notre Dame Miami. So again,
I understand the frustration from Ohio State fans or even
other fan bases that, for example, like Penn State's already announced.
(13:48):
I believe their white out game this year is versus
organ Well. Last year their white out game was announced
that it was worth first Washington before the season, but
we had Penn State, Ohio State, and for some reason
like they want that to be a whiteout too. Minuder
standing from LeVar, a minor standing from other Penn State
folks is that they have one white out a year.
(14:08):
I didn't know we were doing multiple. So again Fox
was looking at trying to move it hard too. For
a couple of reasons. A they had the World Series
which was Yankees Dodgers. No disrespect to Penn State and
Ohio State, you're not going to rate higher than a
Yankees Dodgers what would have been a game six or
seven whatever it was in that series, even though it
didn't make it that far, so that it was tough
to be able to adjust the windows for that reason,
(14:30):
but also again working with the other partnering networks that
also made it difficult. So you know, when you look
at the grand landscape of it, it's not as simple
as saying, oh, we have this game, let's throw in
prime time. And that's in part because of the deal
that was signed by every Big Ten school Ohio State,
Penn State included, and the TV networks as well. And
this is the first style of we've really had three
(14:54):
different networks, you know, cutting into a conference like this
in such a major way. You Usually it's been like
a shared between Fox and ESPN, who are sharing the
rights to like the Big twelve, and so you're only
working with one other partner going back and forth. Now
you've got two others that you're trying to kind of
make everyone happy, and it's hard sometimes to do so.
So again I get the frustration. We have zero to
(15:17):
do with that for our pregame show.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
So it's just wild any any reason to bitch, just why,
And there's nothing, by the way, there's nothing wrong with
having the game that early.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
One of the great sporting events you can go to
is a.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Friday day game at Wrigley Field one twenty first pitch,
you're out by four o'clock. You got the rest of
your day ahead of you. Come on, man, the game
wraps up, Ohio State picks up another win. It's three
point thirty three forty five in the afternoon in Columbus,
and you just get all your buddies together and you
go rent out of booth at Vaso later on that
(15:56):
night in Dublin, and you tear it up for the
rest of the night. What's the bitch about? And you
can watch all the other games. You can watch all
the other games and enjoy the rest of your day
as opposed to having to gear up? Is it because
of the tailgating? Is because of well, we can't tailgate
as long. Sure you can't start at midnight. Do what
Lee to Lap would do. It just feels like there's
(16:17):
options here.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Do what LeVar does all day. It doesn't matter when
the game starts, you're gonna leave it halftime. You needna
tail it afterwards, you gonna the game, the game had
it hours ago, you're still off their tailgating. That's that's
what he does.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Like there's options here, but but the idea that it's like,
oh my god, this is a punishment really, Like do
you know how many schools would kill for the opportunity
to be seen with that audience, with that many eyeballs
and to have you guys there, How many schools are like, God,
we'd love to We'd love to be a part of this. Like, look,
they can say whatever they want about Dion and coach
(16:50):
Prime and the growth and all the popularity. A big
part of that was your guys's presentation of that place,
the beautiful backdrop up that like what they like, Texas
Tech put on a show last year. Yet Danny Amandola
blowing stuff up on set, like like, it's not like
you guys just go in there, take over and tear.
(17:11):
It's not like the Olympic Village and everything's look know,
you're like building up and help build up the promotion
of a program. I just the complaints have never It's
never made sense to me, honestly.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Well, look, I understand it from the standpoint of and
I mean look, in many cases, if we're there, it's
it's a big game. It's a big matchup. And so
I understand that, especially for Ohio State fans. Because I
was there at the Ohio State Tennessee game. I know
exactly what that atmosphere looks like at night. I grew
up going as a kid. I've just went recently, so
I understand how how electric it may be. And clearly,
(17:44):
based on how that game went, you'd say this is
an advantage for us, But there also is an element
of like you're still playing Texas at home, and this
will largely be the toughest game that arch Manning plays
up until the playoff, and you could maybe even say
it'll be the toughest start that Archie Manning ever has
in his career. You know, some people who have put
(18:05):
out these projected mock drafts after the twenty twenty five
season have him as the number one quarterback. He's started
what three games, and he's played in a handful of others.
So if you're looking at it from a timing standpoint
on a young quarterback having to play on the road
versus Ohio State, like this sets up perfectly for you.
(18:25):
And again a lot of time to prepare before the season,
but for his to cut his teeth Ohio State in Columbus,
it's just a tall task. And I understand how they're
you know, if you're in a night game atmosphere, you
feel like, well, maybe that gives you an advantage. Like
I've been in that stadium for night games. I've been
in that stadium for a noon Gameshow stage fans show
out regardless, it doesn't matter what time it is. It
(18:46):
just they seem to, you know, think that the night
time gives them a big time advantage. And I've always said,
like night games are fun to plan, they stink to
wait for. That's one thing I know as a player,
like I'd much rather play earlier in the day. But again,
I understand and the frustration with it. I'm just trying
to explain to people so they know that it's not
like purely sitting on Fox. Like they did what they
could to try to move the game to primetime. It
(19:09):
just it didn't work out that way. There's a lot
of other moving pieces.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
I mean, now we've got to figure out, uh, you know,
which games we're going to be a part of this show.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I mean, you know Oregon Northwestern would be would be a.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I mean you think Texas Ohio State that we would
be able to figure that out.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I mean, you know the graduates, right, I mean, it's
been there before.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's what I'm saying. We've been there before, We've done
it before. It makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
They had a wheel LaVar In on a gurney.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Never he thought he had he had a legit was
it an achilles injury or foot injury. Then we just we
I mean I diagnosed Gollop pretty quick and he was like,
oh yeah, maybe it is that and sure enough it
was just gout.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Yeah. I think I told him to. Yeah, my my
buddy went through the same thing. He said it was.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Gout like red meat scout and like some some issues
like that. So yeah, I mean, well, alcohol, too much alcohol.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
This seems this seems possible, man, Yeah, I mean it
does seem possible. We'll see if we can get everyone
everyone there. You know, he's not here today, but it is.
It is interesting. That was a very NBA S type
injury for LeVar where there's a lot of drama.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
The whole like wheelchair situation.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
That's that's true.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I am off tomorrow, thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
He is, Yeah, he is. He's gonna be off for
a while most likely. But it was interesting that he
he has this whole wheelchair situation just to find out
his gout. I haven't known many people who dealt with
the wheelchair because of gout. Now, maybe I don't know
that many people with gout, but that felt like, I
don't know, kind of felt I was a Paul Pierce
who got yeah, yeah, yeah, kind of. It kind of
(20:42):
felt like that sort of injury drama behind it.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
And he was there, and he was there. We got
to got to hang out the graduates.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Yeah, that would be that would be a follow On
August thirtieth, we got Texas, Ohio State. Maybe we'll make
that happen as well too, And and if we did,
I'm sure are our backs will be tip top, you know,
tip top, no back pain whatsoever for any of us
at all.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
I can promise you that. It is, you know, two
pros and a cup of Joe Here on Fox Sportsins.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
You're the worst at this. I mean, can't we just
naturally get to it? I mean, do you want to
do the blue cheer read first?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Natural, naturally get to what? What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
All right? Listen, I'm dealt with a lot of backpain,
a lot of other bumps and bruises injuries throughout the
course of my life. And here's the thing. There's only
a number of things that make a difference, and your
mattress is no doubt one of them. Matches Firms, sleep experts.
They'll help you find the perfect bed for your unique needs.
Get matched at mattress firms for more day of sail
and sleep at night.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
It is two pros and a cup of Joe.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Here on Fox Sports Radio, Brady Quinn Jonas Knox with
you here coming up next.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
It is a Friday tradition.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
We're gonna round them all up, all right, We're gonna
round them all up here, and that'll be yours on FSR.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
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 4 (22:04):
It is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here
on Fox Sports Radio. Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you
here by the way, coming up a little over fifteen
minutes from now.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Who needs Lee? We don't. We got Brie. So we
are going to have Breeze leftovers.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Here, and I've got a funny feeling they won't involve
stealing content from somebody else and passing it off like
it's theirs, like Lee likes to do from time to time.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I wonderful it'll involve drinking, though, because that's a common
thing for Lee. So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
I've remember, by the way, Bria, I've never seen you
butchered before. Have you ever gotten one's left time?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
We got hammered. I was with Monsey and I think
it was a week and a half ago. Oh okay,
well that makes sense. Yeah there were shots involved.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, gee, that's usually the case. Although for Lee again,
he's uh, he's a shot in a beer. Guys like
the wire. Yeah, he walks in, He's a shot in
a beer, and that's how he starts his drinking.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
My favorite is when he explains it away, we gotta
have a shot and a beer. No, not really, No,
you actually don't. You actually don't have to have either,
to be honest with you. But he's as well, you
just kind of you already committed at that point. Well okay,
most people aren't. But he operates differently. So Breeze leftovers
will be yours here coming up in a little over
fifteen minutes from now. So the debate rages on who's
(23:18):
going to be involved when it comes to the flag
football and the Olympics. Patrick Mahomes said, hey, listen, I'm
going to leave that to the younger guys.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
You know, I'll be a little bit older by the
time that comes around.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Jason Kelsey was on the New Heights podcast and he
had an idea what it came to selecting the team.
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
I think a coach that is familiar with flag football
should select an NFL represented team, and that team should
just play this flag football team that's been playing for
a long time and feels like they are the best
at it and they don't need other guys, and then
whoever wins.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
This is like a mystery. Alaska's pretty much this is awesome.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
One because I agree. I do agree. If these guys
are the best, they should represent USA.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah, so it's a fair statement. I think in reality,
it's kind of the easy thing to say what they
should have as a qualifying and if the NFL players
want to go, they should be able to go and qualify,
or if the NFL wants to put together a team.
There's a couple of things though, like you're kind of
putting yourself at risk. It's almost like that big school,
(24:25):
that blue blood, trying to play a team that's a
FCS team. You know, it's like it's all upside for
the FCS team, but more often than not, you'd expect
the blue blood to pound the crap out of them
and go ahead and say, take our million dollars and
go back to where you came from. So there's a
bit of a risk there. I think for the NFL
if they put together a team and this other team
beat them, but I think they feel like their athletes
(24:48):
are far superior. The question becomes, you know the training involved,
you know, could you get the NFL players to take
it seriously. There's a number of things you can do
in flag football in regards to like trick and different
plays and things that are very different. I remember people
talking about the transition from Canadian football to the NFL
(25:08):
and everyone assumes like, oh, no, it's like the exact same.
It's like, well, not really, there's a twelve player, the
field dimensions are a lot different. It's what's much wider
and longer in Canada. There is you know, forward motion
and all those things that make it a little more
easier for guys to get open. It makes a hard
run defensive backs. There's a lot of things that change,
even the down and distance, how they go about looking
(25:29):
at first down and second down versus the NFL. So
there's there's they seem like subtle differences, but oftentimes they
can make a huge difference in how guys play the
game and how successful guys are at adapting and playing
that game.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
And I don't know if it's because it's three years out.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
I don't think there's as many NFL players that are
clamoring for the opportunity to do this as maybe some
people might think. Like AJ Brown spoke, he said, like, listen, man,
I'm getting ready for the season.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Mahomesh whatever, like.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
So that's where the bread's buttered. But I think what
you're underestimating is once you see how a lot of
these Olympic athletes make money and when marketing, because the
majority of them, that's how they've made their money. It
hasn't been from the success of winning a gold medal.
You get paid for it, but not that much. You
make all your money from endorsements and marketing. So to me,
(26:24):
there's a thought that, yes, you're an NFL player, maybe
a star, but if you could add that Olympic you know,
brand or title to your brand and be a part
of that or that kind of co branding if you will,
that's huge in regards to marketing dollars, and it also
opens you up to a much wider array of fans.
There's some people who are just Olympic fans. They geek
(26:46):
out about it. Right, we don't have football on it,
so they might not be football fans. They're just big
Olympic fans and they've they've you know, go to all
the different Olympics and they travel around the world and
enjoy it like that. Like there's people who just geek
out on that stuff.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
I don't want to say this and how come off
as disrespectful, But this, like this flag football Olympics or not,
feels beneath the NFL. It just does like it just
like it doesn't. It's not the NFL. It's it's the
NFL minus all the stuff that makes the NFL the NFL.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
And so would would you feel that way if it
was tackle like American tackle football?
Speaker 4 (27:25):
No, if it was if it was tackle football, let's
go like that, then then it's a better representative of
But this is like when I wonder if.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
They had better officiating in the Olympics, I think, so,
I don't know what if they Okay, what if they
had it? That alsoid the Olympics are like, no, we're
going to implement, replan everything, We're gonna have officials, And
we're like, oh, maybe the NFL should think about doing this.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Too.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Boy, wait, they do it a lot better than them,
and they've done this one time. It makes it makes
all the sense.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Of the work because but that was wasn't it the
ten minute quarters that they were doing in the Olympic
basketball and some people looked at that and said, know
this is maybe this is a better idea than what
the NBA is doing. I just it feels like a
completely different sport. Like Jared Allen, remember when he tried
he was going to try out for the curling team
in the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
He's like, I could go do the curling team.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Like I'd have more respect if Patrick Mahomes came out
and said, listen, I'm not interested in playing flag football,
but I'll beat anybody in the world at cornhole, I'd
respect it more because it's it's basically the same thing.
It's not it's not the NFL. It's not anything close
to the NFL. This guy, Darryl Ducett, who we talked
about earlier this week, I did. I did find it
(28:35):
entertaining that he says he's better than Patrick Mahomes, that
he is, that he's better than Mahomes when it comes
to all this. So I know you were talking about
his throwing motion.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yeah, I mean I think my next door neighbor throws
a better ball. I for honest, my next door neighbor,
Joe throws much better football. And by the way, but again,
there's more that goes into playing flag football. He's elusive,
he runs around, you know in some of these cases,
like some of these guys have to play both ways,
which I don't know if there's a roster limit. There's
a lot of questions I have. And again I haven't
looked into it because it's not really it's not real football,
(29:07):
you know, if it's just something you play in gym class.
So again, I have no idea how it became an
Olympic sport. Like I'm looking at like, all right, did
the USA push this, like were we pushing that hard?
Or was like the rest of the world, Like what
other country went to the Olympic Committee or the International
Olympic Committee IOC and said hey, we need flag football
(29:29):
to be a part of this. It's huge in Italy
right now. The Italians are really pushing for for Yeah,
they're pushing for baking and they're pushing for you know,
flag football. Well we got flag football, and okay, how
you doing. I don't know. It seems odd that, like
it had this big wave behind it, Like why wouldn't
it just be American football if you really want to
do it?
Speaker 4 (29:48):
All right, So I looked this up, the LA twenty
eight Olympics. Man, that'll be a good time. I'm sure
they'll get everything cleaned up for that and then it'll
go back to normal afterwards. But the LA twenty eight
Olympics will feature new and returning sports, the debut of
flag football and squash, the return of baseball, softball, cricket,
(30:09):
I love cricket, cricket, and lacrosse are In addition, new
swing events like the fifty meter backstroke, the breaststroke, and
the butterfly will be added, along with mixed gender events
in gymnastics and track and field.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
So look, I mean, there's a joke there to be had,
but I'm not going to say, don't worry everybody the
Olympics for that yeah going on around.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
I just I mean, I don't know there's And we
were making the point earlier this week. Audition by the way,
three on three basketball is increased to twelve teams per gender.
Sport climbing, artistic gymnastics.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
What's sport climbing is that?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
I don't know. Can you look that up?
Speaker 4 (31:01):
What sport climbing is, because apparently that's an Olympic event
that'll be coming. And then you know, lacrosse bringing it
back for the first time since nineteen oh eight. It
hasn't been around what.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah, I was gonna say, I thought when you were
mentioning these, I was like, oh, lacrosse is the first
time because I don't ever remember making part of the Olympics.
But that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
The cricket returning to the program for the first time
since nineteen hundred, So apparently.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I don't think we're gonna win that one.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yeah, that's that's a long shot. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
India is probably the favorite on that one. Yeah, this
something tells.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Me, Yeah, the New Delhi Devils. Uh bree. What is
sport climbing?
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Do you have a It's like a discipline of like
bouldering and lead climbing, So they're bouldering while they're rock
climbing at the same time, like.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Ignorant to all this. What is bouldering?
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Bouldering is a type of rock climbing that you're you're
grabbing different boulders while you're rushing bulging or border bouldering, bulging.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
No, something what a lot of people are like probably
sing right now in the gym R that is that
is a fair point as they're listening to us.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
And just so I'm clear, because I could definitely make
the corn Old team for sure.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
No, but I don't see it here.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
You couldn't, all right. I just there's little I've watched
you try to do certain athletic things that just I don't.
I don't think you got it.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I want you to listen to me.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
There.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
There's nobody you've ever walked by in your life. Nobody
you've ever seen it a barbecue, Nobody you've ever encountered
there in Ohio that could even touch me when it
comes to a corn hole board.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Nobody, right, all right, nobody. I think if most people
saw you walk they would be unless they've got an
oil can somewhere to help, like loosen this guy up.
He's not going to be able to throw it a
bean bag or whatever the hell that thinks stuff. By
the way, that's insulting, not as insulting as Mark who
says you should change the name of the show to
(32:57):
one pro and a vampire.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Maybe I don't know what it's like. You guys have
spun this narrative that I have no color like that.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
There is no you.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
You do look translucent at times. You definitely look like
you should be taking a Vitamin D supplement because you
do not see the sun very I would not. I
would not compare you, though to a vampire. I've always
told you you look like the dude from Hunger Games
or I think Wes Bentley is the actor's name from Yellowstone.
Not not that character though, more the character that he
(33:32):
was in the Hunger Games. Okay, I mean that's who
you look like.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
By the way, did did Kevin Kostner like get kicked
off Yellowstone?
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Is that what happened?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Something happened, There was some sort of a fallout and
he got a They told him to take a walk.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Like, dude, we had a fourth kid, and all those
shows that I used to love watching became shows that
would fall asleep within the first five minutes. Well, yeah,
it's all like it just I put my head down,
I started watching something with the wife, and then it
just we're both passed out. When we wake up later
on I'm like, this is pointless. I mean, it's just
the whole thing's pointless.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Yeah, we did a last movie. We took our son too.
We took him and his cousins to Paddington in Peru.
Just brutal and it's middle of the day and within
thirty to forty five minutes, I'm dozing off.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Dark theater. Bad movie, it's over, it's not happening.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Some would call that painful, and but for me, if
you're dealing with pain like that, you got to find
the right mattress because a movie theater is not going
to do it for you. Because the right mattress makes
all the difference. And that's why mattress from sleep experts
still help you find the perfect bed for your unique needs. Jonas.
No more sleeping at the movie theater. Go to mattress firm.
Take advantage of them a more days sale so you
can sleep at night.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
I'm talking right there.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
See that's you don't have to tea. We can do
it naturally. We can do this naturally.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
Oh yeah, I'm talking about it is two pros and
a cup of Joe. Here on Fox Sports Radio, Brady
Quinn Jonas NOx with you here. Know LeVar Arrington coming
up next here though, we are going to close up
shop with a special something. Normally it's Lee's Leftovers, but

Speaker 5 (35:26):
I have graduation today, right, I've had a very very
busy week. The twins are graduating high school today, right.
And I really was going to take off tomorrow, Like
I was going to take the show off tomorrow, going
to I was going to. But now I think to myself, like,
I'm not gonna let you outwork me. I'm not gonna
let Jonas Knox outwork me. So I'm going to come
(35:48):
in and work tomorrow. And I see Loraina in the
hallway and I asked, Lorena, you know how you doing?
Speaker 2 (35:54):
What's going on this weekend? Dad?
Speaker 5 (35:56):
She's out of town this weekend. Oh great, that's great, perfect,
great time. How are you leaving us tomorrow? You can't,
you can't do the show and then go, that's what
I'm saying. So you're leaving today, you're randomly off tomorrow.
You're standing on that.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I am off tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
No, no, that's not what I asked you. I asked you.
Are you randomly off tomorrow the same day as Lorena?
Speaker 3 (36:20):
I don't know what that means, but yes, I am
off tomorrow, and so is LeVar unbelievable?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Can we get a round of applause for one Jonas
Knox for outworking LeVar Arrington who was so he wasn't
gonna let one Jonahs knocks outwork him. I'll show you, Jonas.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
First of all, this isn't work, like we just can
we just fall like all ignowledge at at some point
like this is not work. People listening right now are
doing real work. You're doing real work, all right. We're
playing grab ass on the radio and slapping it up
here on a football Friday.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
That's what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
So can I say this too, just quickly, listeners, thank
you like a blessing. We appreciate you, and and that
those sentiments gonna be any truer, like what you get
to do is so much fun. We're appreciative of the
love even some of the hate man. Even if you
don't like us, you're still doing it anyway, so we
appreciate it. So I just want you to know like
we're very grateful for you. And even though even though
(37:21):
some of us didn't show up today, we could still
speak on their behalf because every once in a while
everyone needs a day off.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
And also a dynamite job by Bree and Mary Mac
held it down here, you know, who did not take
off to Canada like like those other three yahoos.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
I'm just appreciative that Bree is sober because there's that too.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Which always helps. It's amazing, thank you, Brie.

First time in our knife. What the hell was that?
Speaker 2 (39:13):
It's eleven years? Eleven years, ten years?
Speaker 4 (39:16):
The first time in ten eleven years, Brady Quinn, who
just gave the most insulting impression.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Of one of my in laws that I've ever heard
in my life.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
For first time, Brady Quinn is actually remembered. So listen,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
For lase coopy.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
I so yeah, listen, I appreciate it. You know, I
can no longer tell the tale.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
We used to. I don't know if brief Bride doesn't
know this. I don't think Mary Mack does. We used
to tell Jonah's Happy Birthday like every day because he
would never tell us his birthday. We would never remember it,
and then he would remind us at the end of
a show, today was my birthday, like sorry, man, and
then the show would ends. So we finally got I
finally put in my calendar, so I actually remember from that.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
You know, it was an all time room.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
We were doing the Sunday Night show and Live bet
Jesus came on and you were like, dude.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
What event are you calling?
Speaker 2 (40:18):
What?
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Like, what event is Live at Jesus is going to
be making a prediction on?
Speaker 4 (40:21):
And I opened up the paper right as the show
was going off the air and said, I predict that
Brady Quinn and Steve Desaga will both forget Jonas's birthday again.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
And then we went right.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
To and he got it right, because you guys did
forget it that he got right. It was like one
of one of one hundred out of one in a hundred.
I believe it was his career record.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
But well, we hope you have a wonderful happy birthday.
I appreciate it heavy lifting that you do during the show,
and I know you don't want to make it about you.
You're the type of guy that's like that, but we
do want to show our appreciation for you and even
the people who say the mean stuff that you end
up retweeting. It's great on Saturdays. I know you find
it entertaining, but those people love you too. I think
(41:03):
they just like when you retweet their their mean tweets.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
Yeah, they do, they definitely do well. I appreciate it.
Thank you, guys.
