Yeah, there's nats in there for some reason?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Go figure? Have you looked around? Are there falling lee around?

Speaker 4 (01:44):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:45):
Okay, brou I'm not even going to put this on Lee.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I'll say this.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
I'll say this the way, this, this, this place looks
like there's going to be more than that. You know
what's Uh, By the way, you won't see me if
I see a rat or if it's I'm out.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
You know what's impressive about this place. There's every type
of cleaning product.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
You could think of, and nobody using.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Nobody people, but just like full full sanitizers. Uh, this
thing's filled to the I use this, yeah you do.
But other than that, Yeah, this place, Uh, I'm just
saying it's a war zone and filth.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
I don't know, man, I don't want to get into
all of it because I don't want to have to
have no calls or anything.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
But I didn't do it, So I don't. I don't,
you know, I don't.

Speaker 6 (02:43):
Think anyone blame you.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Man, You're you're a very hygienic, clean guy. I really am.
I'm not. I don't. I'm not even in here a
lot anymore.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Who would you blame Brady if you had well.

Speaker 7 (02:53):
I mean, I can't put it all on Loraino, but
I mean Loreno would be part of that crew.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
Maybe Lee, I.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Mean Ray Studio Ray.

Speaker 7 (03:02):
I'm just saying, like, you got to keep Lee in lying.
We know he's pig pen so yes, but you know,
he's actually very considerate, especially about the trash cans in here,
which is where the fruit flies come from.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
Okay, you say that.

Speaker 7 (03:14):
You say that, yet his butt is constantly leaking and
he locks you up in that studio all the time.

Speaker 6 (03:21):
So how is he considerate?

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (03:30):
What did he say on the show?

Speaker 5 (03:33):
I mean, there's clearly like there's lightsow in here, Like
you said, there's a gazillion hand sanitizers in there.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
I'm just it's just so messy and junkie in here.

Speaker 5 (03:44):
I don't know, man, Yeah, some's got to change here.
You're working. Conditions can't be like this anyway. Hey, as
long as it sounds good. As long as they pay you, right,
That's that's the most important thing. And that's what your
what's your work, and that is that is a good point.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Well, it was officially the last weekend without football, but
it was not the last time we'll hear of drama
involving the Dallas Cowboys in a contract and the Dallas
Cowboys have figured it out again. Micah Parsons uh does
not want to be a Cowboy, at least according to
what he put out on social media on Friday.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Its basically just said, yeah, I'm good here.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
I felt like he was disrespected, et cetera, et cetera.
And so Jerry Jones was up an Oxnard and he
was having this fruitfuly Literally that's aggressive. This thing almost
went in my mind aggressive aggressive. This thing really is aggressive.
Jesus Christ, all right, So Jerry Jones, maybe it was

(04:55):
Jerry I've sent him in. But Jerry Jones spoke in
Oxnard on Friday.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
He definitely reached and he was definitely definitely a little
pissy when the conversation turned to the Micah Parsons trade request.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
I've started negotiations in March with Age, I said, I
started negotiation in March, and I've negotiated double handfuls of contracts,
just like I did in March. He thought it was
again again again, but again are you asking me?

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (05:24):
I started that in March. I cost together in a
negotiations associating up.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
The meeting was about leadership, not about his contract. It's
my answer. It's my answer.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
I was negotiating in March, as always in any relationships
or different moods at different times of your relationship, that's
what it is. Don't lose in sleepover, So Jerry, one
thing I would say to our fans, don't lose in sleepover.

Speaker 8 (05:47):
Just to be clear, you don't feel the relationship has
a change at all from the Super Bowl Big twelve.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Again, I know my attitude, and my attitude is the
same one I've had. I think the world of Micah.
He's an outstanding player. He can really help us, but
he's got to fit in with what's in the best
interest of the team, and that's what the negotiation is
all about.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
So Jerry Jones discussing the Micah Parsons situation in Auxnard.

Speaker 6 (06:17):
Why is it so difficult for them?

Speaker 7 (06:19):
I mean, you look at other organizations who are able
to pay their top.

Speaker 6 (06:23):
Players and get business done.

Speaker 7 (06:25):
Let's just say, I don't know Philadelphia that seems to
be like a team that's won the Super Bowl sign
guys back, builds up rosters that are able to get
to multiple Super Bowls.

Speaker 6 (06:35):
They don't ever.

Speaker 7 (06:36):
Have it, at least doesn't feel like they have as
much drama in the offseason in regards to their top players.
Now Dallas Cowboys fans may take issue with that, but
I would say between dak CD Micah, you can go
back to Zeke, it's always something. And look, Philly has

(06:58):
had their moments where they've been fresh with all Nick
Sirianni's success, like it wasn't good enough, or they've questioned
if Jalen Hurts was good enough, even though he's never
given them anything other than playing through injuries a reason
to believe otherwise, Ye out played Mahomes in the first
Super Bowl, you know, obviously played fantastic this past month

(07:18):
and just every single time. So just using that, if
that's the bar, and I think Jerry Jones talks about
winning super Bowls. Every team talks about that, but for
the Dallas Cowboys in particular, because that's.

Speaker 6 (07:28):
In your division as well.

Speaker 7 (07:31):
Just just look a little bit Northeast, and you never
have a team that deals with this sort of drama
like the Cowboys do. So either he's just tired of
listening about it and the deal's gonna get done soon,
or maybe there's more there. I don't know, but I
mean there's a lot to that whole March meeting and
negotiations backstory from all accounts.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
Yeah, like he offered a contract. He said he offered
him a nice contract, a fair contract. But he offered
him a contract. It's like it's basically being put out there.
He didn't want to talk to the agent. He doesn't
want to negotiate with the agent, and that's from his mouth.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
I think those are his words. I don't think he's
talked to the agent. He doesn't want to talk to
the agent, which I.

Speaker 7 (08:16):
Mean, here's here's what I'd say about that, is because
he gave out the example of dealing with Des Bryant,
and then that became a thing because he talked about
jay Z and Rock Nation and and Des Brian before
that contract. So again, just another example of a contract
where there's drama, and I look, I can understand.

Speaker 6 (08:37):
The respective of a guy who's a billionaire.

Speaker 7 (08:39):
That's like, I don't want to talk to the guy
who's Ultimately, I mean, the agent can say whatever he wants. Ultimately,
the player has to say, Okay, let's go, let's sign
the steal. Is that is that accurate? You gotta talk
to the agent. Man Like, I won't put it this way.
I just went through a situation with the house. I
didn't try not to talk to the agent. I cut

(08:59):
out one of the agents. I'll usually just say act
as a dual agent, but I'll kind of represent myself
in this.

Speaker 6 (09:04):
I do it all the time.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
I don't disagree with you.

Speaker 5 (09:08):
But standard procedure and protocol as it has historically applied,
you talk to the agent. That you talk to the agent,
the agent goes back to the player, talks to the
player whatever to play. Either the player is saying get
the deal done and bring me the deal, or some
players want to be involved. But general generally speaking, he

(09:31):
can't be green to the idea that I talked to
the agent and the agent takes the information back to
the player. So I feel like that's not it's it's
you know, why not just talk to the agent If
the player wants you to talk to the agent.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Talk to the agent.

Speaker 6 (09:49):
Well, he gave you the reason.

Speaker 7 (09:52):
I mean, I mean, if if you if you read
what he said about the des Brian situation. I said,
agents are great when you're getting a contract done. Then
as soon as they need to call him about an
issue with the player, they never pick up, Which I.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
Mean, I don't feel like that justifies one to the other. No,
it probably doesn't, but there's some truth to that, you know,
it doesn't. I'm not a fan of agents, so I'm
not and I'm definitely not a fan of MICA's agents,
so I'm not even in the conversation to support or
defend anything that has to do. There's maybe a handful
of agents that I think are okay people, but I

(10:27):
believe it at stale, you gotta use your representation.

Speaker 7 (10:30):
Jerry Jones is the common denominator in all of this.
It's not I mean players have come and gone, agents
have come and gone. It's Jerry Jones.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Does this feel different though.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Than it feels a little different man to me? It does.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
It has a little bit of a different like there's
a little bit more like venom connected to this one.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, like it just the Dak and the and maybe
it's how Dak and des Bryant sort of reacted during
the negotiations, But this one feels like Mike has definitely
taking it person.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Respond to Jerry Jones saying what he said about the
andsfe basically like keep my name out your mouth, well
and that kind of what he said.

Speaker 6 (11:17):
Well, yeah, he just said he didn't want to.

Speaker 7 (11:20):
He said, be careful about opening up that box because
then the stories can.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
Go both ways whatever that means. Yeah, I was saying
that Micah. Micah wasn't what what was our debate about
Micah's just it's just coming. The contract is coming. He's
looking well, he's not looking for it. It's going to
find him or something to that effect. It hasn't aged well.

Speaker 6 (11:46):
Just because now he's looking elsewhere.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah for that God, Yeah, Mike has definitely taken it personal,
like you can tell just by the messaging everything that he.

Speaker 5 (11:58):
You know, I think to say taking it personal, I
think give it more context.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
This has hurt, This has hurt his feelings. This has
hurt him.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
Now people might say, well, I ain't no feelings shouldn't
be involved, and they shouldn't to a certain degree. But
in sports, feelings are a part of it, and feelings
should be a part of it. When you want to
understand why an organization may win or may lose, why
they may have success or have failures, it's because the

(12:30):
people that you employ that work for your organization take
a sense of a feeling of pride and ownership over
their job and what their job represents to the success
of the organization. When you make people feel the way
that they feel. And this is clearly, this is clearly

(12:51):
a situation where the employee has the value that's he's
seeking in comparison to the comps of the other guys
that have gotten contracts. It shouldn't it shouldn't have come
to this, and if you were going to take this
much time to get it done, I think the biggest

(13:13):
era here is is that is that the communication is
taking place through the media. It's like Jerry Jones and
the Dallas Cowboys enjoy taking the communication of what's going
on and what's taking place through the media, and.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Some people just aren't. They're not built like that.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
They don't they don't take somebody negotiating and using the
negotiating tactics where maybe it's a little bit diminishing on
the person, or or it impacts the person in a
way in the public where you know, Mike is getting
attack right now. People are attacking him on social media
and different things like that. When there's contract situations, athletes

(14:01):
are always targeted. Ever get that, man, The athletes are targeted.
And I just don't I don't understand why you would
allow one of your beloved players, one of your you're
arguably your best player, to be in a situation where
he says what he says and now the damage is
done the dat you get a contract done, There's still

(14:23):
there's going to be residual damage from what's taking place
right now. Just knowing how Mike is, He's ultra competitive,
He's a super loving, caring, loyal dude.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
That's his way.

Speaker 5 (14:37):
I know for certain there's there is going to be
a residual Like for instance, I think what the biggest
residual effect will be is maybe the hard feelings. You know,
they they dissipate, but the trust isn't there anymore. And
and and the worst thing that could ever happen it
happened to me as a player. When you have that

(14:58):
that naiveness of that fine line between keeping it business
and trying to figure out if you're a family. The
hardest lesson I learned is that you're not a family.
This is a business. So handle it as a business,
and what comes along with that is what comes.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Along with it. Have you talked to him, I'll.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
Remain silent on that. I don't you know, you know,
I just know this. I know that he wants to
be a Dallas Cowboy. I know that it it is.
It is not, it is not. He's not happy with
being in the situation that he's in in terms of

(15:45):
how it resonates with the fans.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Because I think everybody's in agreement that this deal should
be done and nobody can really figure out why it's
not other than well, the Dallas Cowboys just like to
operate this way. But even then, you know, the lack
of communication, all that stuff to go along with it.
I'm just I just I'll throw this out there as
maybe a possibility, because Albert Breer has hinted about this

(16:11):
in the past that we've talked to him. Jane Slater
pointed this out when she was talking about it on Friday,
that you know he's been somewhat difficult behind the scenes,
that there's some people in the organization who have who
in recent years have gone to the organization and just said, hey,

(16:31):
you got to do something about him, the way that
he communicates, the way he acts going on his podcast.
Remember Malie Hooker was critical of the comments he was
making on his podcast. There's some people that think, well,
he's gotten better in recent months. But is that because
he's looking for a new contract. I don't know that
that warrants them not wanting to pay the guy, but

(16:51):
maybe that's the reason for the hesitation on their heads.

Speaker 7 (16:55):
So okay, but let's I know, I know, and I've
heard that, and people can go back to Penn State
and there is some things then, But what I'd say
is to that this organization signed Greg Hardy.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
I agree, okay, thank you, they signed Greg Hardy.

Speaker 7 (17:12):
I agreed full well, knowing everything that he was alleged
accused of all of that. So you can't really use
that card if you're the Dallas Cowboys, only because you
have done this in the past constantly.

Speaker 6 (17:30):
I just I.

Speaker 7 (17:31):
Can't take that as a explanation for for Jerry Jones.
I'm sorry, and I'll go back to this. It's him,
it's Jerry Jones. He's always the common denominator in this
entire issue that the Dallas Cowboys have dragging their feet
to do these deals. And I don't know if it's
because they're a scarred doing the Exek Elliott deal early

(17:55):
and we've seen it changed since then. I'm not sure
what conclusion you draw to, but at this day and age,
and given Jerry Jones's age, you would think that he
would want to do everything he could to not create
drama put his team in a position to win a
Super Bowl, And instead they've got these contract issues that

(18:18):
continue to pop up year after year. You've got a
head coach and Brian schottheim our first time head coach,
that look, maybe it is his time, maybe things will.

Speaker 6 (18:24):
Go well, but it feels.

Speaker 7 (18:26):
Like you love of Mike McCarthy for some odd reason,
and you really didn't have a plan after that, and
you let Dan Quinn walk out the door to Washington,
mind you, another division rival. They seem to be doing okay,
Like the whole thing has just been a disaster. And
outside of the beautiful stadium and facility and everything around

(18:49):
with the business, the team, the actual team itself has
never figured out how to get back to what they
were able to accomplish in the early nineties. Like that's
the truth, that's the reality, and it's Jerry Jones is
in the center of it.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
Talent will never outperform dysfunction. And now you're seeing just
another example of there's no reason to question why Dallas
can't get it right. You have a can't get right owner.
It's just what it is. And he is perfectly well

(19:27):
within his rights to do things the way he's doing
them and and answer questions and respond the way he
wants to respond.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
It's worked.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
It's his can't get right approach with contracting with his players.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
He's famer, hey bro.

Speaker 5 (19:47):
And it creates a level of entertainment that keeps people
captive and keeps them entertained. And for good or for worse,
it's must see, it's must talk about entertainment. They're headlines
every time. And that's his win. And he's he's clearly
by the way. I mean, he gets irritated here and there,

(20:09):
but he's clearly comfortable with living in the space that
he lives in. So there it's going to be the
way that it's going to be. I think ultimately we
can continue to talk about all of this, but what happens,
I mean, is it he said that the fans shouldn't
worry about it or lose any sleepover. I'm not so
sure he's saying that in what context. I'm not sure

(20:34):
he's saying it like, oh, the deal's going to get done,
or Michael Parsons is no different than any other player.
Either he fits into what we got going on, or
he's got to go and don't lose any sleepover.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
I wasn't sure what the context.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
If they didn't want to pay him, they don't have
to pay him for what three years they've got him
this year, they canenfranchise.

Speaker 6 (20:54):
And use the tags after that.

Speaker 7 (20:57):
I mean, that's the hard part is that this is
the fifty year option, which based on what he's done
so far, you know, they don't have to pay him.

Speaker 6 (21:03):
This year and then for two may of years afterwards.

Speaker 7 (21:06):
Again, this would be one of those examples you would
point out to the NFLPA and saying, let's go back
and try to renegotiate this. You know, rookie draft salary pool,
how he slotted these contracts. I mean, even the contracts
for the rookie deals have gotten more complicated We noticed
that with Shamar Stewart's and then language that Cincinnati's trying
to put in regards to the guarantees. We saw what

(21:29):
the second round picks, with some of them being fully
guaranteed and others not. As that's creeping up more, you know,
because there's only a couple of things to negotiate, so
as agents are trying to create more value for what
they provide to the athlete. You know, this is an
example of again probably the NFLPA in a moment greater
of weakness, as David White's now taking over as the
interim executive director. We could talk about that later, but

(21:53):
it's an example of a situation like this with Micah
Parsons where he should have been able to re up
and extend sooner without the club having complete control over
him for seven years of his professional career. That is
something that the NFLPA the union agreed to in the
collective barring agreement, you know, fourteen years ago. And look,

(22:15):
there's not a lot of people gonna be crying, you know,
for you know, Micah Parsons and these players. Again, an
example of that is the fact that anyone's given a
hard time on social media like, that's the crazy thing
is I'm always like, dude, stop, Like, how do these
Dallas Cowboys fans side with Jerry? He sells you jerseys
that are overpriced, he sells you food that's over tickets
that are overpriced.

Speaker 6 (22:35):
Everything's overpriced.

Speaker 7 (22:38):
I mean seriously, but yet you side with him with
a player contract negotiation helped me make sense of that,
like a guy who's done everything he's asked to do
and outperformed his contract for the past three years, if
we're being real about it. And yet no one brings
this issue up. But it plays a role in extensions

(22:58):
for a lot of rookies, and it plays a role, honestly,
and a lot of veteran contracts because of how some
of these these contracts are slotted and the way it's
pushed down the actual you know, middle class, which there
isn't much of that anymore in the NFL. But I digress, Like,
it's crazy to think that they've they've been here before.
They've been with Dak, but Dak proved himself early in

(23:19):
his career and they didn't want to do it. So
I think they'll get a deal done. I do before
the season starts. But it's it's Jerry Jones and the
Dallas Cowboys, so never say never, but they're definitely not
gonna trade him.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
Just feels like there's some irreputable damage done in the scenario.
It It didn't really feel like that in other situations,
Like it feels.

Speaker 7 (23:43):
Like here's the only other here's the only other thing.
I throw out there and ask you guys, is do
you feel like what he's asking.

Speaker 6 (23:47):
For is unreasonable?

Speaker 7 (23:49):
No, What we don't know is if Mike is saying, hey,
I should get paid forty five forty six million a
year and fully guaranteed contract whatever. Look, there might be
some sticking to that, like we don't we don't know
if he's asking for that. And if he's asking for that,
then you might be saying, all right, like that's never
been done before and we're not gonna do that. You're
a defensive player. Injuries happened, Like we'll guarantee you three years,

(24:11):
not four or five years or that's a big jump
over with TJ. Watt Just goot, and you are a
hell of a player, maybe the best defensive player in
the league, maybe one of the best ever. But we're
also not gonna surpass the next guy. Who set the
market at forty one million and pay another four or
five million per year.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
You know.

Speaker 7 (24:29):
So that's the only point that we don't know in
regards to the negotiations. If he's being unreasonable, I think
what he's asking for, I.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
Think the interesting point about that, and I know we
got a break, but I think the interesting point about
that is he's way younger than TJ.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Watt.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
He's way younger than those guys. You know, He's he's
way younger than Miles Garrett. He's younger. So if he
were to be asking for more, I would assume it
would be for longer, like you just said. And maybe
their sticking point is they don't want to do a
contract for that amount of money fully guaranteed for that

(25:08):
amount of time. And you got to keep in mind,
this is the same guy's representation or the same you
know agent that did Mouths did Deshaun Watson's contract. Yeah,
there could be you know, there could be residual effects
from fallout of Deshaun Watson's contract. This could be playing

(25:28):
out in Dallas. You know, you don't know, you don't
really know all of the politics involved. I wouldn't be
shocked if this was more about the agency. I wonder
if he changed agents, what the deal get done. You know,
there's the possibility that his negotiating tactics have been what
they had been, and now you're in a situation where

(25:49):
you're in a standoff and just maybe it's like you're
not going to do me the way that you did Cleveland.
This is Dallas, sir, It's not Cleveland, it's not Ohio,
and that could be a possibility here as well. All
I know is whatever it is, I still feel as
though they needed to try to figure out how to
keep this more quiet and in terms of the discussion

(26:13):
points of it in the media, so that the damage,
you know, trust wise or relationship wise, you know, didn't
get to the point of where it seemingly has gotten
to now.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
It's two pros and a cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio,

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. We
are going to get to what was a really good
idea in the world of sports? And why did it
take so long? Coming up here in just a couple
of moments. But right now it is time for the
tire Raq Play of the Day and a swinging or
drying left center feeling d this Bub's got a chance?

(27:28):
Cubs win the big game? Justin Turner with a game
winning home run. Yeah, Cubs Radio Network on the call.
That is your tire Rack Play of the Day. For

The way tire buying should be.

Speaker 7 (27:53):
Still two games back, I may add in the NL
Central behind the Milwaukee Brewers.

Speaker 6 (27:58):
Yeah, but there's that for you.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
For those of us who had Cubs minus one and
a half, that two run shot in the ninth was
a was a welcomed gift if you I'm sure it
was welcome to gift.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
They'll get a walk card spot right, hoping.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
For a little more than that interesting five five game
series coming up against Milwaukee and I think two weeks. Yeah,
a little five game it's insulting.

Speaker 7 (28:24):
Uh so, yeah, you make me root against the team
that I like legitimately started to love during my college days.

Speaker 6 (28:30):
So thank you for that. Jonas.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Yeah, didn't you throw it? You did a seventh inning stretch,
did you throughout.

Speaker 6 (28:35):
The first pitch, the whole thing? Yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Now when you get Cubs, Now, when you guys are
throwing out the yeah you went to Harry Carey's.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now when you.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Guys, when you got when you guys throw out the
first pitch, isn't it. Don't you have to ask permission?

Speaker 2 (28:56):
A can we use the mound?

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Because some pitchers get Really, you don't have to ask.

Speaker 7 (29:03):
I'll just be honest with you. I was like lead
to laugh. On a weekday. I was so hammered. I
didn't know what was going on. So I just went
out and stood with they asked me to stand, and
that throughout the first pitch. So I'm pretty sure I
used I've used it, did you multiple times?

Speaker 2 (29:18):
There was one time.

Speaker 5 (29:20):
There was one time after I realized how far away
the pitcher's mound is, that I actually went closer so
that it didn't look so bad.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
But that's really far away. It's really trementous.

Speaker 5 (29:34):
Like once you realize how far the mound is away
from the home plate sixty feet, then that's when you
start to realize how crazy strong these dudes our arms
are and how phenomenal it is for them to be
able to actually clock us a pitch at because it's
nowhere near the same distance as like Little league and

(29:56):
minor league. Like when I go to a little league field,
it's not even close, Like it's like the bat fives
it's right, it's like almost worded second bases and the pros.

Speaker 7 (30:07):
It's it's funny you say that, though, because when I
go out there, I'm always like, man, that is so close,
and like when you get a bigger picture on the mound,
it looks like the balls like two ft in.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Front of you come out of his hand. Like it
feels like it's really really close. Randy Johnson, that's why people.

Speaker 7 (30:26):
Yeah, I mean, he's like releasing it literally right out
in front of you. It's like, all right, good, look.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
At that six ten and through ninety eight and just
it would eat you alive as a lefty.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
And so that's why. And now but again go Brewers.
But that could be.

Speaker 5 (30:40):
A cultural thing, you know what I mean, could be cultural.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Yeah, I'm with you.

Speaker 9 (30:46):
So so it looks distance is cultural. Yeah, it could
look close to you. It looks far away from me,
you know what I mean. Just go be cultural. Well,
I mean what, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (31:00):
You're used to something else, you used to something else.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
I don't know. I'm gonna leave it there.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Speaking of baseball, the Speedway Classic in uh in, Tennessee.
That was at Bristol Motor Speedway. By the way, how
about lead to lap what a what a scumbag? Lead
to Lap is he tries to sell himself as as
the NASCAR guy, and he thought the game was in Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Come on, just for a second. It was like, because
I was old Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Versus since I had to put a lap year, I
knew it was a lap by lap by Lee to
lap sold.

Speaker 7 (31:36):
And can I take up for Lee real quick? That's
actually completely my fault because Lee doesn't do any research.
He reads my notes, and I think I had put
in there Atlanta and that's completely my fault. Well, you
wonder why wouldn't they do it? No, actually I didn't
put that in. I did say it was Atlanta or no, no, nope,
that's a that's a NBA story.

Speaker 6 (31:52):
Nevermind. I had nothing to do with that.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Damn uh sonet a little over ninety one thousand tickets
sold for game that was a lot at the speedway there.

Speaker 6 (32:03):
And setup looked awesome. It's great.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
It's really great.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
And if you're if you're baseball, why wouldn't you do
more of this stuff? Like the Field of Dreams game
they did a few years ago was awesome, Like you've
got one hundred and sixty two games to play with
you could get creative, like there's avenues around this, and
it's not going to cost somebody a season if they're
playing on a racetrack.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
But yeah, it was a cool setup.

Speaker 7 (32:28):
Yesterday, I was gonna say our NASCAR fans the next
closest thing to baseball fans and what regard well, like,
what's the closest thing they're like NBA fans Like what
fanom those sport?

Speaker 6 (32:41):
NFL fans LaVar.

Speaker 5 (32:44):
Uh, what is the closest I don't know because I'll
say this, NASCAR fans are more that's culturally driven. You know,
that's more you know, Confederate flags and you know, more
like I think that's an unfair No, No, I think
it's actually very accurate Sydney. There's moonshine involved, there's there's

(33:09):
beers involved.

Speaker 6 (33:10):
Like okay, but let's let's let's do away with the
Confederate flags. Let's not have that.

Speaker 5 (33:15):
No, that's part of it, That's definitely part of it.
It's just kind of it represents an older time. NASCAR
represents bootlegging, right, so it's like more like rebel.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Type of It's not I'm not trying to make it into.

Speaker 5 (33:30):
Like this crazy over like this racial term or or
you know type of deal. But it just represents like,
you know, being rebels, like being you know, like you know,
breaking the law, you know, doing it how you want
to do it.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
And that's that's a that's a lot of how a
white person.

Speaker 5 (33:51):
No, because black people bootleg actually bootlegging might go further
back with black people than it does with white people,
to be honest with you.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
So there's the possibility.

Speaker 5 (34:03):
Yeah, yeah, y'all might have had different cars.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Y'all was lazy, man, y'all we had to bake y'all
cars and stuff. We had to do everything for y'all.
Our cars were better.

Speaker 6 (34:15):
So what what.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
I'll just try to get people going on a Monday morning. Hey,
that's a bit of that.

Speaker 6 (34:24):
The n b A and then whate the sport, Oh man,
is it?

Speaker 5 (34:28):
You could be even like cars tennis, I say, tennis,
n b A, NBA fans are are very tame.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
They're tame.

Speaker 5 (34:38):
They're they're very tame people. Yeah, NBA fans are tame. Yeah,
I mean outside of them dildo tossers. I mean yeah,
they're they're they're tame.

Speaker 6 (34:49):
So NASA is the baseball is the NBA is the tennis.

Speaker 5 (34:53):
NASCAR is the baseball is what the tennis? I think,
hm hmm, maybe yeah, maybe. I think it's hard to
make comparisons though, because I would say football football fans
are a little bit more their rowdy.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
So but they're not as they're They're not.

Speaker 5 (35:16):
As extreme as as NASCAR fans. They're not as the
NASCAR fans are extreme. Man, they're extreme. It's almost like
you're at a fair ground.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Are you trying to say that what they try to
get a fight or like a war?

Speaker 5 (35:31):
I'm trying to say, you're trying to say the grounds
that these races are like a dividing line. I mean
they're so big that it's almost like you're you're partying
and you hear cars going by. So it'd be no
different than like a picnic, you know, and you just
happen to be on a a grounds where cars are

(35:54):
going by.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
And what would that picnic look like? I've already explained that.
Are you trying to double down.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
On just because there's different picnics?

Speaker 5 (36:03):
I mean there's a whole lot of trailer park homes there,
there's a whole lot of pickup trucks. Sure, it is
a cookout it's a big ass cookout with a whole lot,
with a whole lot of beverages. You know, Milwaukee's best
ice what are they called them ice joints?

Speaker 2 (36:24):
What are those called? Any hennessy at those there's whiskey,
there's drinks.

Speaker 5 (36:31):
Hypnotic No, hell no, ain't no hypnotic there, there is not.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
There is not a lot of teeth missing. Oh oh yeah,
that's a lot of teeth missing. So no teeth and
then gold teeth. I got it. I know what you're saying.
There's no gold teeth. No, but those are the differences.
I got it.

Speaker 5 (36:58):
Uh, there will be more gold teeth out of NBA game.
One more gold period out of NBA game.

Speaker 6 (37:07):
Damn.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
I mean it's truth. I mean.

Speaker 7 (37:10):
Baseball players I think are the deepest pockets though, right
some of.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
The some of the chains those guys wear while they play, I.

Speaker 5 (37:19):
Feel like, I don't know, because soccer fans are way
more into it than even baseball fans, and they have
I want to say, in terms of pretty crowds, baseball
and baseball and soccer are probably up there, Soccer probably.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Being more edging out. Baseball.

Speaker 5 (37:41):
Well, I know this, that was one of the most
racist conversations I've been a part of in quite some time.
But I mean, you were just to tell the truth.
So I did tell the truth. My family is from
Rocky Mount in Roanoke, Virginia. I believe if you got
hate in your heart, let it out, hey, let it out.

(38:02):
Is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports
Radio coming up next there shots fired.

Speaker 2 (38:07):

Speaker 6 (38:39):
Let's do it, all.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Right, Let's do it.

Speaker 6 (38:41):
Let's get Lee involved in a big way at the
top of the hour.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
We want to make we want to make sure Lee
is involved because there are lots of questions that we have,
including uh, that fake picture he sent over yesterday. Hey Lee,
that Brady pointed out with somebody else's hand.

Speaker 7 (38:58):
I would actually I mean, it's it's this counterintuitive, but
I would actually make the case. If you're drinking a
non alcoholic like zero percent alcohol beer, you.

Speaker 6 (39:14):
Got some problems?

Speaker 2 (39:15):
What a waste of time? Yeah? Well just why do it?

Speaker 6 (39:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Sometimes you're just craving that cold crisp beer.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Nah, bro didn't get a cold crisp one? Right, what
are you doing?

Speaker 6 (39:27):
I meane, you, of all.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
People should know that, right, I do know that, But
it's not like I bought it.

Speaker 6 (39:33):
Here's the other thing. You don't really drink beer. You're
a mixed drink guy.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
I drink, I drink everything you do, But you're more
of a mixed drink liquor.

Speaker 5 (39:44):
Not saying a lot. Drink everything saying a lot tell
them wrongly.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Well, if I'm at a bar, yeah, I'm gonna get
a I'm gonna get a well drink call or a.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
Call unless they have one of those beer shot deals.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah that's good. Yeah shot and a beer guy. At least?

Speaker 5 (40:02):
Have you ever I was whipped a couple of my
buddies and stay caused. Have you ever tried to drink
every single drink on the drink menu, like we're going
to take one drink, not one, not one in the.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
But at a certain bar, yell I had a buddy.

Speaker 5 (40:17):
Him and his buddies went out and they tried to
drink every single drink on the on the drink now
that Yeah, it didn't end well, yeah, but they said
they almost made it. Have another They said they almost
made it though. I mean, if you only were drinking
one of it. You know how many drinks is that?

Speaker 8 (40:35):
Like?

Speaker 1 (40:35):
Eleven non alcoholics bear?
