Speaker 2 (01:45):
Do you think Pete Prisco does like handy work? Do
you think he'll like jump under the absolutely or not?

people around that that due one of those.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
I love you, yeah, but do you get you like
a bossy dude?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Pete?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Like turned there, touch your toes.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
And then the other one.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Then the other one.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
As far as a handyman as far as a handyman
LaVar absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Okay, all right, you don't walk around with like a
tool belt on.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
Pete Like, well, no, I don't know how to I
don't know how.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
To put anything together nothing zero.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So uh, Pete, I guess we'll just start, you know,
we'll start backwards. We'll just we'll just whirl our way
from the Lake game all the way to the early games.
What the hell is going on with the Baltimore Ravens
like this? This feels like it's not you stay well,
they're they're in a little bit of a rough stretch.
(04:04):
This just feels like a like a team that's not
very good and totally underperforming this year.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Well they haven't. They've had a lot of injuries, you know,
quarterback being first and foremost, but they and they just
haven't played as well. And guys haven't played as well.
I mean Marlon Humphrey and Rokwan Smith had started out
really poorly and it came on and but he didn't
play the entire season all that. Well, guys haven't played
up to the expectations and that's hurt them. Injuries have
(04:32):
hurt them. And I think you're right I think they're
you know, we kept saying, oh boy, they're gonna get
on a little run and nobody's going to want to
play them in the playoffs. I think we can put
that notion to bed. I think they're done, and I
really believe that even if they got into the playoffs,
I don't see them being a threat. And Lamar can't move.
I mean, he doesn't move. He doesn't move like he
did before his hamstring injury, and that's a big part
(04:54):
of what he is as a quarterback. So I just
think the whole season kind of fell flat and I
think they're done.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Yeah, it's hard to feel confident about what they're going
to be here in the final weeks either way, one
team we.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Should be confident.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
I don't know why we haven't been. Maybe we felt
like this was a proven game for them. But you're
Jacksonville Jaguars, Pete, I mean, are they not one of
the best teams in the AFC? Trevor Lawrence playing great,
Liam Cole maybe up for Coach of the Year.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Tried to tell you, Pete, you tried to.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Look.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
The bottom line is they're playing the no respect card,
and rightfully so. But I don't think that really matters
once you get on the field anyways. But they're good.
I mean he, I mean, the coach is really good
and really a good play caller. Those type of scheme
stuff open and Trevor Lawrence is taking his game to
the next level. And quite frankly, he needed to. I mean,
(05:45):
for the first five games, six games of the season,
he wasn't very good. He was pressing, he wasn't throwing
the ball down the field. He was passing on shots
down the field. The receivers are dropping balls, and the
offensive line went very good. Well, all of a sudden,
now he's taking those shots down the field. He's much
more comfortable. The receivers are catching the ball and the
offensive line. On Sunday they gave up five facts. Two
(06:07):
of them came on the first drive and one of
them was because he held the ball. But the reality
is for they held their own against that that vaunted
defensive line. Nick Benito, by the way, was swallowed whole
by a guy named cole Van Lannon, who's now their
starting left tackle and is emerging as one of the
best offensive lineman on that team and maybe one of
the best left tackles in the league. The last three games.
(06:28):
So kudos to kudos to Liam Combe, but really did
Trevor Larnch because he's really helped develop himself into a
you know what he we all thought he could be.
Let's be real, Before the five games ago, six games ago,
everybody in the league was calling him a bust. And
now they're talking about him maybe taking that team to
a super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Mike Rabel is gooning it out as the head coach
of his former team, the New England Patriots. They look
like they could actually make a run for the Super Bowl.
I mean when you look at these teams, Pete, what
team jumps out at you where you say the coach?
Because obviously what's going on in Jacksonville, but what's taking
(07:09):
place in New England. We see what's going on with
Jonas's team in Chicago. What, Tam are you looking at
where you're like, wow, man, Like this coach did the
best job, the finest job of a coach coaching in
the league this year.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Kyle Shanahan, Oh, go on, go on. I mean, Kyle
Shanahan has never been Coach of the Year in the
NFL ever, and this coaching job and look, tonight's another
step in that direction. They're already in the playoffs. The
fact that that team is in the playoffs in that
division is just amazing. I mean, they lose their two
(07:46):
star warts on defense, the guys that make it go
and Fred Warner and Nick Bosa. You play without your
quarterback a bunch of the season, you have a bunch
of other injuries as well, particularly at the receiver spot,
and here they are with a chance to win thirteen games.
I mean, that's credible, and so I don't think he
deserves the credit. He doesn't get the credit he deserves
for being in the Coach of the Year conversation for
(08:07):
a team that has been banged up and really been
impacted by the injury bug all year.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Pete Prisco joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, senior
NFL columns for CBS Sports, CBS.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Sports HQ analysts. You can get him on x at
Prisco CBS.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
A team that you were high on that I think
a lot of people were high on and just assumed
it was a foregone conclusion going into the season that
they were going to win their division was the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers. And I don't know what has happened the
last two months or what Todd Bowles thought he was
accomplishing by calling his team out the last game, but
it didn't work. How surprised are you at where Tampa
(08:46):
Bay's at with two games left in the season.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Very But I think the injury there's another team that
had been decimated by injuries. But here's the thing. You
get all those guys back on offense, and everybody's back
at wide receiver and aside from the right guard, they're
back on the offensive line, although the left guard's not
there either, but the two guards aren't there. But you're
relatively healthy on offense, and they're not scoring points. They're
(09:11):
not moving the football. And Baker Mayfield isn't playing very
well right now, and he got hurt a while ago.
I'm not sure how if he's still hurt. He's not
saying anything, but he's not playing the same kind of
quarterback he was early in the season. And defensively, they're
not very good, I don't think, and they can't rush
the passer, they don't get after the quarterback. Losing Canty
in the beginning of the season was just enormous for them.
(09:32):
On the defensive front, Vita Vea looks heavy to me
like he's not the same player he was earlier in
the season. And then the linebacker looks heavy.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
You've been eating big bone out there. Fatcham vita vea.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
He's overweight.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
He's just not falling to the ground the same way
he does.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Judge this, How do you judge that the way he
looks like on TV it.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Was the way he went over that player and fell
on his heinee on that one player. I know exactly
what you're talking about, Pete. You came he's overweight.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Don't put on the you think he's overweight, LeVar.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
No, I'm just I was just co signing you that
I was supportive of you, that's all.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
I just don't think he's played as well. And I
think when he has a tendency to get too heavy,
he doesn't player as well.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
It is the holidays, you know, it's the holidays.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Well, and by the way, and you guys know you
played in the league. Offensive and defensive linemen have weigh in,
but early in the season, their bodies, their body changes
throughout the season. They're not lifting like they did before
the season and everything else. You know that they're like
you go, go go from That's why they called fatball season.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
I mean, go through the entire season.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
The oppositive and defensive linemen, their bodies they might make
way in, but their bodies aren't the same. Look at
him and he looks he looks heavy to me, and
he's not playing as good. And and by the way,
if if that game meant nothing yesterday when you really
look at it, though, take a look, could take a
look at it, it meant not. I mean it would
take a.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Look at it. It mean something for Carolina.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
H what No, But if Tampa wins against Miami and
then win beat Carolina, they win the division. So technically
that game meant nothing.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Well okay, but it meant someone for Carolina to stay
in it.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
That would have still been in it anyways if they
won and then they beat him in the last game
of the season. So it doesn't really matter if the
game doesn't matter.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Yeah, they have the best record in the division. But
what's that do The Saints have the best record in
the NFC.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
South, I mean against each other?
Speaker 7 (11:34):
You mean, well, yeah, the NFC South, Pete, they have
the best in the division.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
The things have played good football. By the way, they
have their quarterback Brady that kid's good.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Tyler played well.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah, and you know what, Kellen Moore is another coach
that doesn't get the duty he deserves keeping that team
around me. They're old and a lot of spots, they're
starting a rookie quarterback, and they're playing competitive football. And granted,
the Jets stink, but Tyler Shuck looked good on Sunday,
and I think that's a good step, right direction for him.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
So I was going to ask you about that game specifically,
but more about the Jets.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
They're three and twelve right now.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
It feels like that's you know, that's a cruise ship
and destination and nowhere.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Do you think Aaron Glenn could be one and done?
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Could it happen? Yes?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I don't think it's going to happen though, I just don't.
I think. I mean, that roster is bad, so how
do you put that at on him? But he will
be on very very thin ice next.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Year, not even competitive though, Pete.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
I'm with you, Brady, I'm with you.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
I hear rumors from people that say he just seems overwhelmed,
like it just it seems like he's not ready for
this job.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Would be the first one.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Well, I also think you know you already fired the
defensive coordinator. You lay to him out for that one.
And then you know the offensive coordinator is supposedly a
really good coach, and but he doesn't have that great
feel for the play calling yet. And so I think,
you know, the staff he hired man have something to
do with it too. So I do think I think
he's coming back. Now I don't know that one percent,
(13:07):
but I do think he's coming back. But I tend
to agree with you. I think he's It just looks
overwhelming to him. And they don't compete. I mean the
last two weeks. That's not a good sign. When you
don't compete at all against two teams in Jacksonville and
New Orleans that you should you thought you should be
able to compete against.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
What about that Saints are three and two in the division.
They are tied for the best record within the NFC South.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Yeah, but what does that mean, Brady? What does that mean?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
I don't know. You'd tell me you're the one that
cares about division so much. It means nothing you care
about these divisions.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
It just got yesterday's game with Tampa and Carolina and
the end, it won't beat anything either well.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I mean, you're fat shaming people from the division. I
seem like a pertinent question, Jame.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
I'm just saying he's not playing as well when he's overweight.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
What about it?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
What about as they want to be?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
But it is an impacts the way you're playing.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
That that's a problem.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Is how expensive is his jersey?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Mike sub as well as Sanahan on his way out?
I mean not Shanahan. Is is Schottenheimer on his way
out of Dallas?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
No?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Okay, I mean is he a one? And is he
a one and done? I think that's a legitimate question.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I mean, you know what, it was even more of
a legitimate question, he said, Dan asked if your commander's
coach was on his way.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
Dan Quinn might make more sense, not why should make
more actually competitive?
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Competitive?
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I don't think.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
The Cowboys he's done a good job with.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
The they're the best losing team in the league. I
don't think that qualifies as their competitive. They're the best
losing team in the league.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
This is because I said something about Aaron. Glenn lvar
is trying to stick up for Aaron.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
That has nothing to do with anything. I was just
thinking of coaches, and I brought.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Up Harball earlier for Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I mean, I'm not I'm looking at all kinds of
different coaches that could be on there. There black coaches.
There's not very many black coaches out there. And what
is worth talk about an easy layup, but talk about
a bad team? Hell yeah, that's not racial.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
In New York. They both their teams stink.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I don't think. I don't think. I don't think Schottenheimer
is close to being on the hot seat. And to
be honest with you, I don't think Quinn is either.
But if you had to pick one or the other
one would be on the hotter seat, you would say
Quinn would be would.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
You no, I would say I would say Schottenheimer because
the owner of the franchise said this was an all
in the year. You got rid of a coach, you
got rid of a player, and you said this was
an all in year. And this is what you got.
What are you? Third?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Third in the division? Second? Second?
Speaker 7 (15:51):
And it's actually have the best record in the division.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
The second, the second, their second in the division. And Washington,
Washington that went to the championship game last year is third.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
In the day, they won't even be in the they
won't even be in the playoffs. They won't make the playoffs. No,
I don't care about a winning percentage. And they're this
they're not good.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
From the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
They're limited for that.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
They're not good. They're not good. And all in year
you know.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Where they got eight and they got his first year,
they got better without Michael Parsons.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
You know, he did his.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
First he did his first year.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Oh that's we should use that excuse for everybody.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
You know how many first year coaches have gotten fired
over the last years.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Peter does feel like Pete your namesake, Pete Carroll is
maybe he should be added there too.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
He should be. But do you think do you think
they're gonna they pay Aren't they paying Gruten still, They're
paying McDaniel still, They're playing Antonio Pierce Still. You think
that organization is.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Gonna probably Kelly Still too, you know.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Yeah, they're not going to pay guys that. I don't
think they're gonna get rid of Pete Carroll. But if anything,
that team's.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
He's the one that owns it.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
It sounds like he's probably not going it.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
He's not. He owns it the most for certain.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
I mean, they got rid of They got rid of
Chip Kelly. The offense looks verbade him like what it
did in Seattle. And yeah, they gave chip Kelly all the.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Blame, right, I mean, And Seattle is really good this year,
by the way, really good.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
They made a bad decision at quarterback because Gino is
a very good either.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
You are what you are, Pete, you are?
Speaker 4 (17:29):
It always worked out that way, doesn't it.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
I mean, hey, all I know, Pete is Kirk Cousins
won a game this past week.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
So take that.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
You did the game. He was performing for you.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
He was performing for Q.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
He loved him so much. He's taking up for him
so many times that Kirk went out there and played and.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
He shoved it right back in your face. I talked
to him.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
He said, you tell that Pete prisco to take a seat.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Sits your ass down, Pete Priscoe.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
So Pete, hey, by the way, he didn't look great
on Sunday either.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
In that game.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Well, they wanted to lose it. They just they got
off to a really slow start.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
You know.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Oh they looked golfly in that game. And and b
John Robinson man meant he's so good, right, I mean, but.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Now the Cardinals.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
The Cardinals are shell themselves with that defense.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Everybody's hurt.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I mean it's crazy. And then there's Nolan and and
sweat the sweat getting legitimately hurt Brady or did he.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
Just like check out and go to Cabo.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
No, No, he got hurt. He got hurt. I mean
he got legitimately hurt. Walter. Nolan's injury is pretty serious.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yeah, that looks that was bad.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
But by the way it was getting looked at the
time of the.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Year, when you know that this is the time of
the year when guys, uh, when.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Guys tissue, they got them soft tissue injuries.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Yeah, I didn't get my cap.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I'm going to Cabo and I'm going to Bermuda pe Pete.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Where the where do the West coast teams go?
Speaker 4 (18:53):
The West Coast teams go to Cabo, The teams in
the midwest go to King Ku, and the teams up
in the northeast go to the Mute. Of the teams
in the southeast, they had down to a Ruba and
it's like you know that cockyo song arupa Jamaica. I wanted.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, them groupers is off the chain.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Yeah, that's what the that's that's the song that's being
sung all over the league right now. That's what that is.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Who goes to Jamaica, Pete.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
You get the southern to the southern Southeast teams go
to Jamaica. So like the Dolphs, the Dolphins, if they
want to get a quick getaway away.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
From the South, the Bahamas, the Bahamas or Jamaica.

Speaker 6 (19:37):
Of the year.
Speaker 5 (19:38):

Oh my gosh, bro what a hit in jim that is.
They got a they got a beach there. Literally it's
a pink sand beach and the sand feels like baby powder.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Were you not worried about getting lost in the whole
triangle situation?
Speaker 3 (19:55):
No, And they showed you where where it is.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
It's so underwhelming, apparently, it's kind of like what what uh?
The President's on the head Mount Rushmore looks like it's
not It's very underwhelming.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
When you see it is in the ocean, it starts
at for it works its way. It's a triangle.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah yeah, but they show you, like where the point.
They show you the point in Bermuda where supposedly where
it starts, and it's like it goes under a bridge.
It's kind of interesting the story of it, but it was.
It's just where I think, if I recall it correctly,
the way they were explaining it is just the way
your your signals get all jammed up and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
And is that I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Hey, by the way, how many times during this during
your career, Lehart, did you go to Bermuda and week
fifteen in your mind?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Hey, hey, let me tell you something out of a
seven year career.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
U five yeah, five?
Speaker 6 (20:55):
Ye, the start playing it.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
We gotta start playing that song. It's that time of
the year, Peena.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I just wanted to congratulate you. Your guy Kenny Dillingham's
back and he's asking for money, So.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Did she asked?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
By the way, I am just talking to people that
I know that have involved with that Nil and Brady,
you're involved with another guy. I still can't believe the
amount of money that we're paying these kids these days.
It's incredible.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Somebody was telling me the other day.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
That a corner on a team, A nickel corner got
two fifty last year, and he's bitching and moaning about
getting once a million and says he's going to pedal
himself away. Are we serious with this? Are serious.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
A nickel corner? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
God blessed God, blessed the kids forgetting the money.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
But come on, we're way out.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Of control with this. It's just out of control.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
What do you think he just what do you think
he just if is too much? What do you think
he deserves?
Speaker 4 (21:59):
I don't know who he is, but I'm just saying, okay,
let's just go take a right tackle, Brady, a starting
right tackle at a at a big school, a power school. Million.
Speaker 9 (22:10):
No.
Speaker 7 (22:10):
I mean, if he's like a top whatever going to
be draft picked, maybe he's flirting with that, but I'd
say somewhere around half a million up to you know,
seven hundred eight hundred.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
So your roster as a whole is forty to fifty million,
Is that correct?
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Well, you're getting a rep share, so you have the
piece of that it's coming from the school, and then
you have the collective on top of it.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
So one, no, not every player.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
Is getting eight hundred thousand dollars, right, maybe both your tackles.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
So how much a Notre dame pay?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
There?
Speaker 4 (22:39):
You know how much a Notre dame pay the.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
Players last year?
Speaker 5 (22:44):
I want to say somewhere in the mid mid high teens.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Well, yeah, I mean how State because hold on, pete,
we didn't have a rep share.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
Tho, no wonder whether or not playing.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Geez no, no, pete, pete. They didn't have they didn't
have the REBSH share. Ohio State paid about like twenty million,
so they weren't that far off.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Pete, pete.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Listen, you're talking about this season. So this season, if
everyone's getting twenty and a half million, then you throw
on another what twenty thirty million that Texas Tech, for example,
is spent. But like Notre Dames in a similar category
in that sense, like they're getting the twenty and a
half for whatever it is, million, they're diving up plus
the collective money on top of that, which is again
a much higher number than that.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
So they're paying fifty million.
Speaker 7 (23:28):
Then yeah, I would say most of those bigger schools
are somewhere north of forty million.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
If you want to be competitive, Texas Tech's probably a fifty.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
It's incredible to me.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
It's a it can and there's no but he can
leave whenever the hell he wants to.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
But here's the thing that's funny is like people like
you will sit there and they go, oh, it's ridiculous.
How many NFL players aren't actually on one year contracts
with every NFL team almost the majority. And I'm not
saying that because the actual structure and the term. I'm
saying that because you and I both know there's no
guarantees probably after the first year, with the exception of
like cornerstones like a left tackle, a quarterback, et cetera.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Right, So, like, I don't really look.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
At it as crazy outside of the fact that it
can be as transient as it is. But most schools,
if they really value the kid, they're not letting them go.
They're gonna pay them what most likely is market value.
That's how it works. You and fifty million, hold on
fifty million for you know, a starting offense defense you
know in some depth behind that is not even close
(24:33):
to what you're talking about a salary cap for the NFL.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
They're still grossly underpaid.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Like the number you're talking about right now, You think
you think this number is not gonna keep climbing.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
You're out of your mind.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Oh, I agree that. I agree it does greet, but
there's gotta be some some guardrails put in place.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
I just think I.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Agree with that.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
I don't believe that all these kids should be able
to every single years be like, yep, I'm resigning like
Southern cal announcing them resigning guys every year.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Here, going here, going there.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
I mean, yeah, I just I think that's bad for
the game. I think it's I think it is.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
But what's bad. Look, look, what's bad for a sus
the fact.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
That they have a cheap alumni like you that won't
actually donate money to help out. And you've distracted us
from the original question. And up he donate to Kenny doing.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
And I paid when I went to school.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
I ain't paying anymore. I'm done.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
You didn't You didn't even pay that much. What told
me what your chice was?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
It was it was cheap back in the day, but it.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Was seventy bucks in a ham sandwich.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Let me get this curious, What the hell?

the way, Sesame Street helped raise all of us, and
now it's our turn donate this holiday season at sesame
dot org because the world needs sesame and Sesame needs you.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
Speaking of Sesame Street, it's almost like Disney. Did anyone
watch the old Disney character Jake Paul Disney.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
King By he got his face dislocated.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
First of all, it was it was not a real
fight until he punched him for real. They barely they
barely threw punches the whole entire fight.
Speaker 7 (29:48):
And then he he just kept trying to run around
and tie him up. Right, didn't they make them ring
bigger for that rate. He didn't make it big so
he could run.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
But I mean then he started falling down on his
knees and putting his face and Anthony was right, No,
his legs was fatigued. You ever been in a boxing ring.
It's not a very it's not a very Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah,
it's not a very stable. You know, it's just so
much give.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
You're saying, Jake Paul and kept trying to tie up
and tackle Anthony Joshua because it wasn't stable.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
No, his legs weren't were He was fatigued from running
and when you're on that type of surface and your
legs get like that, jelly, that jelly deal to him
from running you go down.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
I think that was all strategy. I think he was
all trying to knock get knocked out like he.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Did in the fifth round.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
No, he was. He was fatigued from running. Some legs
was going out. It wasn't It wasn't he.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
It was a fight where they were meant to spar
don't hurt him. And he got tired because I think
he got scared during that fight and he was running.
He was running, and when you run for that amount
of time, you get fatigued and all.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
So there were times where Anthony Joshua was kind of
leaning on him, and that's a big dude to be
leaning and trying to carry it.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
He wasn't falling down because that was his strategy. He
was falling down because his ass was tired, like he
had like his legs was not there anymore. He couldn't
he There was a point where he couldn't even get away.
He couldn't get away. Anthony Joshua had him did the
rights a couple of times. The time that he broke
his face was the last time, but he had him
did the rights at least two three times before that.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
And he wasn't hitting punch. That's that's a big dude
in a real fighter, real boxer.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
That it wasn't a real fight. He could have knocked
that man out three four times round.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yeah, I mean, you know, but he still got knocked out.
I mean, take that punch.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Debated.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
At least you get debated that he broke his face,
so he wasn't it wasn't fixed.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
There's a lot of people who are like doing exactly
what Jonah is doing just so they're hoping Jake Paul
hears and falls them on social media.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
The way they had them people announce in the fight
and then you use Lennox Lewis and Andre Ward and
Layla Laila a Lee wasn't having it. She was like, man,
look here, man, that's not a good look. He finished
him the way that he needed to finish him. But
for what it was worth, if it was like the
lowest out of punches, like it was low, like he
wasn't even throwing any punches.
Speaker 7 (32:19):
Let me throw out this question because I think what
everyone who has ever watched at Jake Paul fight was
looking forward to is that moment where Anthony Joshua knocked
him out what happened so exactly?
Speaker 5 (32:31):
So what happened?
Speaker 7 (32:32):
So the question becomes, does Jake Paul continue this because A,
I think we see when he matches up against a
legit boxer, it's not gonna go well. And then b
the intrigue's kind of gone. We've seen him get knocked
out because he's just gonna all of a sudden become
a punching bag for other professional boxers who want a
big pay day.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
They asked like a hundred, one hundred big time boxers
for the fight. I heard Bud Crawford had committed he
was in one hundred percent to do to fight for sixteen.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Oh yeah, I'm sure he would.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
I heard they got ninety millions.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
Paul got ninety two ninety two, and Anthony Joshua got us.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I think he hit ninety if I saw the purses correctly,
I think Jake Paul got ninety two ninety three and
and Anthony joshuall got like ninety.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
I mean, allegedly some of those there's been some speculation
that some of those numbers are really fluffing.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
They said Andrew Tate got twenty. They were trying to
say he got fifty out of that fight. I heard
he got twenty and the other dude got like three million.
He was the only one out of the four and
the big celebrity fights that got kind of bummed on
the number.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
I look at it, I go, yeah, look, he's got
to get his jaw fixed, he's got to eat his
face fixed.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
But he got ninety two million dollars more.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
But also I do think that there's going to be
opportunity that one of the things that that people were always.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
And every chick in the world wants Anthony Joshua Now.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
My goodness of the one of the things hit a
lot of people have wondered about is, you know, is
anything in a be on the up and up with
these fights?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
We're not cheer.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
He's fighting UFC fighters who don't you know, who don't
have are known.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
And then you saw that and you're like, oh, well
maybe it is kind of on the up and up.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
It well, but but here's but here's what I'll say.
Here's what I'll say. So what it doesn't matter if
it's on the up and up. You know what Jake
Paul has done. He has created a lane that did
not exist. This actually it's actually a lane for this
type of a fight fighting box thing that did not exist.
(34:39):
And for what it's worth, whether it was real, scripted
or fake, look at what goes on in wrestling. Don't
nobody have a problem with that? And it be a
packed house? That was a packed house. It was a
who's who are people in there watching that fight?
Speaker 5 (34:53):
A who's you know who else?
Speaker 7 (34:55):
So much so Johnny manziel couldn't even wake up and
make it to be the guest pickup for the cultural point.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
That's a that's a shame.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Wow they party so hard at that fight. Huh yeah
in Miami.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
No, he said listen, you know, he pushed back against
the false narratives.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
Yeah, there's there's a narrative about him. It's not true.
And what was it?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Well, I just need They thought that maybe he might
have you know, maybe been.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Uh missus call time the next day.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I wonder how many times they will go on social
media and be like, where's Johnny Manziel as the guest picker?
Where's Johnny manziel Is? Johnny? Are y'all going to bring
Johnny Manziel on as the guest picker? Where's Johnny's over with?
Speaker 7 (35:36):
So I'm not sure anyone cares as much anymore. Back
to the original conversation, is this good for boxing? Like
as I think Jake Paul to your point about making
a new lant has been good in that sense, like
for the business of it for fighters, But it also
feels like if we keep having to go to these
I don't want to say extremes, but unique measures, right,
(35:58):
Like we've got to fight in a bigger ring.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
We've got to kind of do it around.
Speaker 7 (36:02):
How Jake Paul wants, and I guess he's got the
ability and power to do that. But ultimately, again, where's
this going. Is this just him fighting better fighters getting
knocked out every time? I mean, even if that's like
the even if that's where it was going to go,
the intrigues.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
Lost, is it not.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Yeah, to a certain extent, I think that what he's done,
he's done a lot for women's.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
Boxing because he always has women bad. Yeah, those are
like what he's done for them have been great.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
He's I think he's done more to try and put
on big events than what a lot of other most
other boxing promoters have tried to do because everything is
is so tied up with you know, who promotes you
who's this We can't work together, what sanctioning body has this?
What There's so many different people that that have their
(36:51):
hands in the mix. And that's why what Dana White
is trying to do with zoof of boxing and trying
to you know, whether it's you know, if he's doing
it with ri Odd season and they're trying to put
on the Crawford Canelo fight like it feels like that's
the one that's got an opportunity to get everybody in
the same page. Because what happened in boxing, there's so
(37:12):
many promoters and so many people split in different directions
that none of the big fights happened until Dana White
got involved. So I think Jake Paul put guys on
the map here, and let's be honest here, Jake Paul
had a fight out here at the Pond in Anaheim
this same the same night Terrence Crawford was fighting at
(37:36):
the soccer Stadium in LA.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
They couldn't get anybody to.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Go to that soccer stadium in LA, but they sold
that place out at Honda Center and that was a
Jake Fall fight against maybe one of the all time
greats that we've ever seen in town and more people
were interested in the Jake Paul fight than they were
Terrence Crau, Well, what's interesting about that is the Lopez
Shakoor you know to a female, Paz and chakor Stevenson
(38:01):
is a really really big fight that's on the horizon
and it's been over shadowed by Jake Paul and Anthony
Joshua fight.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Uh is it over?
Speaker 2 (38:11):
No, it's not over because again, the the the draw
is with the personality that Jake Paul is and if
it was going to be over, it should have been
over after the Mike Mike Tyson fight. Mike, if we're
being honest, it should have been over. This is not
what it's supposed to be. Should be over. You get
(38:32):
Anthony Joshua, everybody's expecting him to kill him, and people
come out and fight, saying that all was a really
great fight that unfortunately he got his jaw broke. Like
people really thought that was a legit fight.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
That was said, who is who have you talked to
this bro?
Speaker 2 (38:46):
The pundits were talking like even just the way they
were commentating about.
Speaker 7 (38:50):
It, it was it's the of course, how did you
score it? How do you have a jonas? Because you
I mean again there. I thought there was about three
different times Jake Paul shot like he was wrestling against them,
but apparently his laser retired.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
So he was out of here.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
The fight was terrible, like who's singing? That was a
good fight, Like the ending was noteworthy because he got
his job broken.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
Other than that was it. It was terrible. That was it.
It's a terrible fight.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
That was like the only Tommy punched him. Yeah, Jake
Paul punched him three times. He punched him twice and
it was over.
