Lap good for him.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
A lot of he had an axtra grind. He had
a lot to get off his chest. There was this
felt like years and years of built up having to
hear narrative after narrative about him being criticized by several.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
In the media.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And so he was on the Pat McAfee show yesterday

Like that absolute coward absolutely scholars. Are you kidding me? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (03:03):
You got a pardon and you're in front of you
and you pleaded over a hundred times at the White House.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
What are you scared of? Tony? I thought you were
the science. Yeah, I thought you or I am science
and you get up there and you can't answer a question.
And how much time did the network spend of that?
Speaker 6 (03:16):
How much time did they spend on my responses every
week on my vaccination stat at aunt Taylor at Travis's wedding?
They did they do even a minute? Did they do
even a minute on Tony Fauci?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I don't think I've heard that.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
I bet they didn't.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
But on that and there was another scandalous offseason too,
involved in a voter for MVP for Coach of the Year.
Speaker 7 (03:39):
How much time do you did your network spend?
Speaker 6 (03:42):
What's your did your network spend on network?
Speaker 7 (03:47):
How much this is awesome?
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Go back to Faucie, go back to the cowherd. Tony
foucon science. You're spending the entire time right in his
diary about how fun it is to be famous.
Speaker 7 (03:59):
You gotta be kid me? Okay, So on that note,
what are you gonna say about me? Now? What are
you gonna say about right now?
Speaker 4 (04:04):
I got not debate here?
Speaker 7 (04:05):
Are you at a five? Seriously? What are you gonna
say about me?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Now?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Now now that you can't talk about the COVID stuff
because obviously it was it was made you know, in
a lab in China, that's like not even questionable anymore,
Tony Fauci is an absolute criminal. I'm on I'm on
good terms with my family. I'm on good terms of
my family. What are you gonna say?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Now?
Speaker 7 (04:23):
What are you gonna say? Now? You know I got
at least four minutes, Okay, I got There's a lot
of silence, but I will say this. I gotta give.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
I gotta give flowers to stephen A. Smith, my old
friend Stephen Ag because he was man enough to actually
admit and apologize to Kyri. You're so I got to
give a shout out to my guy, stephen A. You
are not a coward. I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Okay, can we talk about uh, we'll wrap up that car.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
There's been a lot of silence.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
I feel like, you know, like nineteen seconds about one subject.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
Don't don't talk about that.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
You know, we can talk about Rex Ryan's foot fetish,
but please don't talk about, you.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Know, h anything else right now.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Don't talk about you know, any scandals of don't talk
about culture's talking about Taylor and Travis's wedding.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Yeah, what what do the insiders know about that? Voight?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Damn?
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Sometimes it's just a being being an aware person and
knowing how to deliver it is.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I mean, how much do you think that's been boiling inside.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Oh God, look man, is it's hard to argue. I mean,
I don't find a lot of inaccuracy. Is and what
he said his family situation was made public consumption for
years and years and years with a lot of people
weighing on it. Uh, the vaccination status, the whole fiasco there,
(05:47):
the Fauci stuff, the inability for that network to want
to cover the Rassini situation when they were so willing
to cover. It's just it's just an odd, odd way
to and it was handled, and it just sounded like
a guy that was ready to get all of that
revenge all in one sit down with Pat McAfee.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
This goes back to I think this idea of accountability
though too, because I think in America we all want,
like to, you know, our opinions and our beliefs and
everything to be kind of fair and balanced and equal.
And I think you go back to that time period,
let's just talk COVID. You know, he wasn't completely innocent
(06:27):
of how he went about discussing it right immunized versus
saying vaccinated, and kind of the tricky way he went
about doing it. Now that being said, I think his
issue is more like, Hey, this is what I'm doing,
no different than Kyrie Irving, who I believe lost I
think eleven point four million during that period in time
(06:49):
because of you know, how he handled himself and people
who didn't want to get vaccinated or did whatever the
case may be. But the point is is for the
people who were on that see if they didn't want
to get vaccinated, there was no one defending them. It
was open seizing on those people. And I think that's
where the frustration comes is, you know, outside of Steven A.
(07:10):
Smith apologizing to Kyrie Irving, like there were no apologies.
What have you heard anyone apologize to Aaron Rodgers about
how they handled everything about him staying it was immunized.
It's never happened. What are the people who've taken shots
at him about his family relationship, which has never been
fair to you know, comment on or take like who
(07:31):
probably had no actual clue about what was going on
behind the scenes. They've never apologized. So that's part of
the issue is there's been no accountability for all the
people who were out there saying that he was wrong
or whoever else felt that way, or for people who
you know, chose not to go get vaccinated, or not
(07:51):
to do something else because they were scared maybe putting
something in their body, or they just didn't want to
do it. It wasn't their belief. There was no one defending them.
And now you start again finding out some of the
truths of it, whether it was a lab league, whatever else.
You know, that's that's been brought to our attention. Now
there's no one saying that, well, these guys should pay
the price. Now, I will say the one thing about
(08:13):
Fauci that gets misconstrued in his pleading for the fifth
the entire time was he was at risk of perjury,
which is why an attorney would tell him to plead
the fifth over a hundred times. You know, yes, he
received a pardon, but there's still the potential issue of
him perjuring himself in front of Congress, which is why
he would plead the fifth like that. But I digress.
(08:36):
This is pent up frustration. This is someone who I
think lives in a world where they all hold each
other accountable. When you're on a football team and between us,
you know our whole job, what we do together, and
I think a lot of athletes, though we always talk
about accountability. I think that's what this comes down to,
is there has been no one who's been held accountable
for a lot of the things he discussed, even the
(08:57):
Racini you know, Vrabel stuff and how ESPN reported or
didn't report it, and a lot of great points that
he brought up. But she has a Coach of the
Year vote, she has an MVP vote. These are some
of the people who are a part of creating the
legacy of what these coaches of players look like. And
yet we're not gonna then hold them accountable for their
(09:19):
actions or talk about it. I mean, she stepped down.
Let's not get it twisted. She stepped down, like she
basically let ESPN off the hook and so of these
other people off the hook. So there's a lot of
truths in what he's saying, but I think the bigger
picture is just there was a side of a lot
of these conversations that didn't any defense, you know, didn't
(09:43):
get anyone to come back and say, you know what,
you were right, I should have listened, or maybe I
should have been more understanding of your position. I think
that's where his frustration comes from.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
It doesn't do away with the realities that we face
during COVID though, that's to me, that's that you get
your victory lap and that's cool. Fauci couldn't even say
what color his tie was or what color the floor was.
If that's perjury, that's crazy to me. And for what
(10:13):
it's worth, a lot of people you had to realize
were you felt like there was no other recourse but
to get the vaccination. I believe you weren't allowed to
travel unless you had the vaccination. On top of that,
on top of that, for wherever it was created, people
(10:38):
were dying because of COVID.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
They were dying.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
That's a reality that wasn't created somewhere in a lab.
They were dying people. And I think a lot of
people took a fence to it. Not for him making
the personal decision for himself, I think a lot of
people had fallouts upon the way it sounded to them
(11:02):
and knowing that they had loved ones that had either
perished from the from the.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Disease or were at risk.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
I know for me personally, my mother and father were
high risk people because of their health concerns. My dad's heart,
my mother's diabetes. There were aspects of my parents' health
that made them risk and their lives totally changed, and
in fact, they haven't stopped living the way that they
(11:31):
were living during the pandemic to this day because of
just fear that it could pop up and that could
be the reason why that ends it for them. So
while I understand where he's coming from, and I'm I'm
you know, I have no beef with with Aaron Rodgers
not wanting to get you know, get the vaccination. My
(11:54):
I would just say, if I'm speaking for it, it came.
It comes across. There's another form of wope, to be honest, like,
and I know everybody's tired of woke.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
That was woke. What he did was pretty woke.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
And and sometimes people don't take kindly to being woke
about how you feel about something. Same thing with Kyrie Irving.
So he did get a victory lap, and and for
what it's worth, what he said had a lot of
validity to it, But that doesn't do away with the
realities that we as a as a nation, in a country,
(12:27):
what we faced. We lost a lot of people to that,
to that disease or to to the illness. What are
the COVID nineteen what what is it called the virus. Yeah,
so I just you know, I get it, but like,
don't make your victory lap too much of a victory
lap in terms of understanding how how how bad that
(12:50):
time was for our entire country.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, I mean it's and yeah, the people definitely did
die for sure, and that that had an impact on lives,
people lost jobs. But I also think that I also
think that it, you know, there was it wasn't just
this cut and dry situation of you're gonna get it.
You've got this amount of issues going on previously, you're
(13:13):
going to pass like my mom had, was was as
high risk as anybody you could possibly imagine, and literally
got COVID and walked through.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It like a fart cloud like it was nothing.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
So there's stories to be told on all different angles
of this. I think what he's doing is telling his
story because people called out his career, call that his
character called out.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Like you know, no wonder his family does.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Like there was a lot of stuff said about this guy,
like a lot, And that's why I don't have an
issue with it. And I think that the problem with
the COVID stuff and the Fauci stuff is that it
becomes it's so politicized that people can't just accept the
fact that, hey, you didn't necessarily do anything wrong. You
(13:56):
followed the advice of people that you trusted, and they
burned you. And and there's there's a hesitancy for a
lot of people to just put their hand up and
say I got got like I fell for it.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Didn't, conversation didn't. Didn't the whole thing become an issue
because they were forcing the players. If you didn't get
get the vaccination, you weren't like, you weren't able, you
weren't clear the play, or you weren't clear travel.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
What was it wasn't any of that. You had a
different protocol. Okay, so you you had to be testing
more often. So forth people could travel. People were able
to travel even without being vaccinated. That wasn't dictated to anyone,
whether they were playing football or not. So it's a
bit of a misconception. I think. I think the problem
is and again he's he's just talking about from his perspective.
(14:44):
I don't think anything he said like went back and
made light of the heaviness of what people were going through,
you know. I think this is more of a search
for the truth of the information and I think that's
what it was, because he felt like he was on
the right side of that trying to explain it to people.
(15:04):
I Mean, one of the things that like I remember
during that time is just flying across the country from
Florida to La the juxtaposition of just how both those
states were operating at that time, and then seeing so
many business owners. You know, I remember like going through
the protocols or just getting into a hotel. You know,
I would you'd literally walk into the hotel and they
(15:25):
would take your temperature, they'd have ask if you had
any symptoms. They'd asked if you ran in anyone who
might have had symptoms. And I'm like, I'm thinking to myself, well,
how could I honestly answer this question. I just went
from an airport, like, of course I could have ran
into someone who maybe was sick. How would I have
known if they were sick or not, you know, and
you're kind of wearing a mask. And then I would
I would leave to go grab carry out from a restaurant.
(15:46):
Mind you, that one week would be in business, the
next week went out of business because of whatever guidelines
La County gave to that restaurant, and in some cases.
There were some restaurants that I remember talking to they
had to you know, spend all this money on this
like HVAC system that helped filter the air, or they
shut down the inside, but they set up the outside
you know for people to come, you know, sit down
(16:08):
and dine, and then they never ended up actually allowing
them to open up completely, so they all that money
was wasted and it further put them in debtor or
forced them to, you know, out of a business. So
I remember every single week coming in in like a
different place would be out of business, and then I'd
literally go grabbed the food in fifteen minutes later do
the exact same protocol, and I remember thinking to myself, like,
(16:28):
how is this effective? You know, Like there were so
many things during that time where I think people had questions.
People were trying to figure out like what exactly's going on,
and there was a lot of people who profited off
it at that time. I think I think that's more
of an issue too for some people out there who
were like man, there are people who ruined their lives,
Like there were people who lost their lives because of sickness.
(16:49):
There are people who their lives were ruined because of
how it was governed or how it was handled, and
at the end of the day, like people are still
trying to find peace with it, and maybe his way
of finding peace with it is, you know, taking those
shots and saying those things that other people don't feel
like they're strong enough to say. Because that's the other
point of this is he's in a position where he's
(17:10):
I don't want to say untouchable, but he's also in
the last year of his playing career. He's a first
ballot Hall of Famer, and he's going to speak his
mind and say what he feels like needs to be said.
For a lot of people out there who you know,
couldn't say what they wanted to say back then, but
maybe you know, and maybe they still can't now. But
at least he's strong enough to kind of put that
out there to defend them.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Well, they certainly don't have the volume of his voice
to do so. And I think that that's the point,
I think for both sides of it. I think that's
why people would be happy for what he did and
what he stood on and what he said in the
media with Pat yesterday.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
But but else was that yesterday?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Yesterday? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Or or you follow on the other side of it
and you're pissed off with him because people can frame
up how they want to look at Aaron Rods in
a few different ways if you're falling on the other
side of it. And people were dictated to and I
mean maybe as a misconception in terms of uh, you know,
being able to travel, I was under the interpretation under
(18:15):
I'm thinking that I had to have it.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
I didn't want to.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
I didn't want to get it either, but I was
made to think that being able to enter into airport,
being able to enter into certain businesses if you did not.
And maybe it was because I was coaching at the
time that I felt that that pressure that I had
to do it because they one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Was you had to do it.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
If you were teaching out of school, when you one
hundred percent had to do it, I don't I don't
recall anybody having the option of opting out. And in fact,
the spacing rules, everything that you did was based upon
you having to take temperatures and wear your mask. And
we're trying to figure out how you wear a helmet
(19:01):
and a mask, how do you play the games? Like
it's crazy? It was crazy times, and I think people
felt as though they didn't have a choice. You did
not have a choice, and I think that that's where
a lot of the outrage came. And again, whether you
were pro or con to getting the vaccination, it COVID
(19:24):
showed us a lot about our country. Man, I'll say that, yeah,
And it's so funny, I said. I remember walking around
one day, I said, this is how easy it is
to lead a flock. If you are at the top
and you're shepherding, I said, can you imagine And five
years ago, a year ago, a few months ago, if
(19:47):
you came walking around with a mask on.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Your face, people would look at you.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
And be like, I'm curious, I'm scared, I'm concerned, call
the cops.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
What is he doing? What is she doing? And what
are they doing?
Speaker 5 (20:01):
And and that would be like like that's a big
red flag.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
And now if you don't have a.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Mask on, it's like people look at you like you
had sixteen eyeball could you oh my.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
God, how could you you?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Meanwhile, those mask you those masks you could hold a
lighter in front of and blow it out with the mask.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
So some people weren't even wearing like they even created.
I'm sure mask companies got rich off because they started
selling those those like industrial strength ones, saying that whatever
the P nine.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, oh Brady autograph.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
One for me, that's the one you have to get.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
Man.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
I was wearing a picture of a lion on a
piece of cloth with with with.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
If you want to really dive into this, it's like
if it wasn't at ninety five, it really didn't do anything.
And actually, if you looked at the research from that
time period, it actually made you more risk of getting
a respiratory infection because you most likely, if you had
any bacteria issues, you were just breathing in the crap
that was getting stuck on the mask when the mask
was carrying. So there was there was a ton of
(21:08):
things that looking back on it, I think that, look,
there's a lot of people who should have been able
to question things more and not feel like they were,
you know, told to shut up and just follow it.
I mean, and again it goes back to like we
didn't know. There's an element of unknown too, where people
tried to react what they felt like they were doing
(21:29):
their best interest, and that's why maybe there's a there's
an element of you know, people not being held accountable
because they can hide under that and say, well, it
was what we thought was best at the time. Looking
back on it, yeah, maybe it wasn't. Maybe it was
you know, maybe it was that wasn't the healthiest thing
for us. To not have people be able to be
outside on the beach or the sun or whatever else,
(21:49):
but to not be able to question it, I think
was the greater issue. And I think that's one of
the things Aaron's talked a lot about. It's like there
couldn't even be a conversation about it, which is also
a greater issue with our entire country. Is we now,
for whatever reason, you're not allowed to say what you feel.
You're not allowed to ask a question or talk about
it unless you we don't like, we don't have different perspectives.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Yeah, when you guys were at the Penn State Iowa game,
I was so. I was watching that game from a
hospital room next to my mom. She was in the
critical care unit, and it was part of the COVID
ward to where they were so overflowed by by patients
(22:30):
and whatnot that we're coming in and the hospital staff
was just almost delirious because they were overwhelmed, they were understaffed.
There were some that left because they didn't want to
be forced to get a vaccine. All of that's happening,
and I can remember, you know, kind of sitting there
and and you know, we're just kind of hanging out.
I remember the game was on TV and I was
(22:52):
talking to one of the nurses that was coming by
to help out and whatnot, and they and I just said,
how are you guys doing this?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
They're like, well, that's the hard part. Like, what's the
hard part? They pointed outside the room a person had
just passed literally moments earlier. Their family couldn't get close
to them because of the social distancing to say goodbye
and had to do it outside a room as they
died alone.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
And that happened with my family. That's when my grandfather
passed away.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
So that's that's why this stuff people could say, well,
look it.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Was it was old news.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
It was Yeah, there's a lot of people that really
got got burned for good that are never going to
have those moments back in that opportunity back to say goodbye.
So that's why this is a touchy subject for a
lot of people. And Rogers is simply like we said,
calling it out from his point of view. Man like
(23:49):
I was also affected by this, and there was a
lot of people that had had things to say. So yeah,
it's uh, it's rough, but at least he got it
off his chest so.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Well from talking about people having a dirt that you know,
when life's busy, sleep matters. Mattress Firm Sleep experts can
match you to a customizable sleep solution like the Temper

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Hey, by the way, for what it's worth for anybody
that's wondering whether or not Rogers did any good.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Yesterday, Antonio Brown did give him the Cracker of the
Day award on social media based on those comments. So
I just want to point that out. It is too Brown,
I didn't send that.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
You always assume he's the one tweeting that I'm gonna
taken for his word. I'm just saying I'm almost positive
that's been By the.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Way, but didn't he get fined a bunch of money
because he had fake vax cards. I think Antonio Brown
did that pop, Yeah, because he had fine by who
I think he got. I think he said he lost
a bunch of money because he had fake vax cards
and so he got punished by the NFL or something
like that. There's something that happened along those.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Yeah, that's well because it's just like one of those
things that Jonas would make up and no one helds
hi account all right.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
So hold me accountable, all right, go ahead, Oh he's looking.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
He was not financially fine, he said he was.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I'm just I'm just saying, man, he he was.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
It was not financially fine. It was it would it
ended up in a suspension, but it said the NFL
film had found he misrepresented his COVID nineteen vaccination status
and used a fake car.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
No, it's unfortunate, but you know he's handing out awards now.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
So we are have Aaron Rodgers that got his way.
He went to guys suspended. Yeah, just saying that's true.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Saying.

Then what just be calling me mad?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Call it me?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
So coming up in about twelve minutes from now, we
are going to have another edition of In case you
missed it, that'll be yours right here on FSR. Kind
of interesting everybody complaining about the Dodgers going out and
getting trek school ball, and it's a foregone conclusion. I
think last check they were plus one point fifty to
win the World see, which is pretty incredible considering, you know,
(28:04):
it's normally not a number that low when it comes
to trying to pick a future champion in any sport.
But there was a lot of movement that was made
around Major League Baseball yesterday and just a larger discussion.
The extra wild card spot has completely changed that sport
where now you've got teams that aren't very good, but
(28:26):
because they're within the vicinity of the wild card. They're
going out and they're making all these moves, which is
kind of odd considering if it's a foregone conclusion that
the Dodgers are going to win the World Series and
there's going to be a work stoppage, why would you
go out and risk it all? Like the Tigers weren't
that far out of a player given up, giving up,
(28:48):
Like like, why go out and just portrayed a bunch
of your best prospects for the future just so you
can find out, Oh, yeah, we're nowhere close to them,
Like that's like, we're not even in the vicinity of this,
and so that's why, you know, I it's I know,
we talked about the expansion of the NFL playoffs to
where there was the extra wildcard team that came in,
and some people were not fans of it, and I
(29:10):
liked it, and I think eventually they're what they're probably
going to get to eight teams on each side. But
it just sort of opens up at least the door
for hope. But in baseball, you've got to win a series,
and ultimately, I just I don't see how any team
made a move yesterday that you look at and go, oh,
that's gonna be one.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
That competes with the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
I think it's interesting in general talking about a lot
of sports. You get this in college football, we saw
in the NFL, But just the thinking that goes involved
in that, I forget about the trade deadline for a second.
Just Hey, it's expanded the playoffs, which really means that
you'll probably see less managers at least. This is the
common thought that I would hear and hurt a little
(29:51):
bit and talking to some of the folks during Big
Ten media days, but like, hey, if the X playoff,
for example, expands to twenty four in college football, there'll
be coach firings. And I was like, oh, that's interesting,
Like what makes you say that? And people would be like, well,
because if they're getting access into a playoff with they're
playing for a championship, it'd be hard to move on
from a coach. That's the case, And that's one perspective.
(30:13):
There might be other people who say, hey, man, we
got twenty four teams making if you can't make it
a twenty four, like maybe you shouldn't be our coach,
you know, like I might actually it might actually hurt
in a way, And I do wonder if there's elements
of that in Major League Baseball that play out too
in regards to the front office decisions like you're talking
about here with the Tigers, for example, there are some
(30:33):
of these other teams that are like on the cusp
and thinking, well, once we get in, if we just
have enough talent, like we can go win it. It
is weird to think that. It's not like they expanded
it in a large capacity like college football. Did you
know this is just adding on you know, a couple
of teams. But I do think there's a thought as
well in today's front office, regardless of sport, if you
(30:57):
are in the hunt and you're not being active, it's
going to be held against you, like you nowadays more
than ever, when you have the opportunity to be in
control and you can make those decisions, you've got to
be active. You can't be somebody who's sitting on the
sidelines watching it all happen, because it's going to come
back to you at some point, like someone's going to
come back and say, as an owner of the ownership group,
(31:19):
why didn't you make a move, why didn't you go
after that person, or why didn't you try to make
a bid and make something happen. So I feel like
the expansion in some ways has protected some of these
you know, coaches and so forth, where hey, just because
they got in the playoffs, even though they won a championship,
they're going to still remain that manager or that head coach.
(31:40):
But I also feel like it may hurt in another thought,
like if you're not trying to do everything you possibly
can to make sure your team is getting into the
postseason and competing for championships.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
And sometimes people will go back after the fact and
then criticize a move that at the time made all
the sense in the world, the Clippers trading away you know,
Shay Gilgos, Alexander and everything they traded away to get
you know, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George and bring them
in to LA. At the time, everybody loved the move
(32:10):
because man, they're going for it, like they're really going
for it. And then all these years later they get
criticism because how could you get rid of SGA. I mean,
it was a future MVP of the league and this
is what you got from Kawhi and Paul George.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Dude at the time, it made sense.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Like at the time, that move made a lot of sense,
and almost everybody in the league would have done the
exact same thing the Clippers did. It just didn't work out.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Man.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Like, you're putting yourself in as good a spot as
you can and then you're hoping that the results pay
off at the end, but you know a lot of
times it doesn't. There's only one winner at the end
of this whole thing.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
I just I just look at it, and the first
thing I started thinking about was the Yankees, And I
was like, are the Yankees still the same type of
all in Yankees that they were when they were winning
all of those World Series? Kept bringing in guys like
if it wasn't enough to have Derek Jeter on, there
you a break in a rod To not the one
(33:03):
we were talking about first segment, the other one Rodriguez.
I just, in my mind, it exposes the other organizations
that have generally have been all in, and then it
exposes the organizations that have really never been all in
(33:24):
when you had these types of situations. And it makes
you ask the question, which I know, I guess pretty
much we kind of all know the answer to it.
In some cases is, why aren't you spending the type
of money that the Dodgers are spending to keep your team,
not doing patchwork to try to make your team better,
not trying to do a let's run it back, keep
(33:46):
them better. You are doing everything you possibly can to
improve your team, and your team is already a run
it back team. They didn't need to add anything you
want to add pitching. You can never have too good
of a bullpen. From what I gather what baseball represents,
I just find it interesting and I find it curious
(34:11):
all the organizations aren't cash strapped.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Some of these organizations, Like.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
I said, it was the Yankees in the two thousands
or early two thousands that we're doing what the Dodgers
are doing right now. So it makes me wonder, why
have these why have these teams? Why have these franchises
gone so conservative and and just so kind of you know,
(34:37):
managing it versus let's go all in to try to
win it.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Do you think there are more owners pick a league,
any league, that there are more owners that would rather
make money than win a championship.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
I just feel like you wouldn't make money if you
win championships, though hand.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
If you win championships.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
You're gonna make money, yeah, but they're spending the money
to to win the chat you get, you get superstars,
Like think about what it's done for Kansas City. You
have a megastars. You got at least two, you could
say maybe three. In the past, you've had a few,
like you know, you had the Honey Badger, or you
know you had Eric Berry or whatever.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Eric Berry's a little older.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
But I'm just saying you have the ability to build
franchise players and have franchise guys that drive the needle
personally as personal brands for your organization, but the organization itself,
your ticket prices are going to be. You can work
with them because they're in demand. You know, the things
(35:39):
that you do outside of there, you're going to be
in demand. I would just think sponsors want to be
connected to a winner, and they want to be connected
to the viewers.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
And if you're winning.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
People want to watch that people people don't want to
watch losing.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
They don't want to watch it.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
So when you're watching a losing organization, I mean, you know,
I just feel like it goes hang and.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
They hate to push back. Man Wrigley Field's been losing
for a long time.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Oh, they've won some championships won okay, but that's still
you know, and they've been in the hunt a little bit.
I would say, no one can replicate or they have
a hard time replicating what the Dodgers can do because
in baseball, not as many people are able to sell
out as consistently with as big of a stadium and
be able to bring in that additional revenue as compared
(36:28):
to some of the other ballparks out there. That and
they're just they're willing to pay a luxury tax in
order to have success. So in some ways, you know,
it's the willingness of the ownership group to be able
to shell out that sort of cash. In other ways,
it's like, well, we can afford this because we've gotten
such a team that's so healthy, with the manner in
which they're able to attract a crowd, and it's always
(36:50):
a tough ticket, it's always a great following. I mean,
there's not many places like Dodger Stadium. There's not many
fan bases like the Dodgers fan base, so it's not
as equal. So to answer your question, Johna's like, would
these guys probably rather make a profit. I mean, they're
all successful businessmen coming from somewhere else more often than not,
or have other businesses. So I think they realize that
(37:13):
it's hard to win World Series and championships. They'd always
like to be profitable.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
You know.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
If that comes with winning a championship two great. But yeah,
I think there's definitely a side of if I don't
have to put any additional money into this team, it
can make me money and I still own a professional franchise,
Like that's kind of cool enough for me. If I
get a championship, great, but that's going to come oftentimes
with spending more money too. So yeah, maybe to answer
that question, it is more about profitability. It is more about,
(37:41):
you know, finding a way to be able to just
have sustainable business without having to take more out of
your pocket, where you're still enjoying being that guy that
has that special little toy to play with.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
Well, speaking of a special little toy to play with,
I respect pickup trucks that are built to be well,
making it happen without a fuss, and it's the Nissan
Frontier built for the work week and ready to load
up that TAILGATEO on the weekends. Try the twenty twenty
six Nissan Frontier.

Speaker 9 (39:03):
Sometimes you can't get to everything in the world of
sports or entertainment. Good thing the guys are here to
bring you in case you missed it.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Guys, we've got a little bit of a problem here,
all right.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
We've chronicled the Ricky piersall, the Kyle Shanahan, just sort
of the issues the forty nine ers have had, and
you're probably thinking, well, you know, just a couple of
freak occurrences, isolated incidents.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Not a big deal, nothing to worry about.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Then you start to look down the list of forty
nine ers that are currently dealing with an injury. Mike
Evans peer, Saul Andrew Farmer stribbling, Mike Evans, James he
looks injuring healthy, Malik Mustafa, Kaylin Black, just there's Christian Kirk, Like,
(39:53):
there's a number of guys that are currently dealing with
something with the forty nine ers, And so people have
now started to reignite the Hey, where do they practice at?
And it's real close to that substation or a nuclear
reactor or whatever we want to call it. And I
don't know how you guys felt about training camp or
if you preferred going away for training camp or you know,
(40:16):
staying locally or at the team facility. But I know
Fred Warner loves sticking around and being there. But maybe
there is something too. We should probably take the training
camp elsewhere if we're going to continue on here, because
the substation discussions have become louder and louder with the
forty nine ers dealing with all these issues.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Okay, well, I mean, what do they do during the
season comes around that they just I mean it's right
next to their stadium, it's right next to their practical selds.
You can go away for camp, but what happens then
when you come back to the season.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Can't you have FIFA come in and just cover it up.
They did it with Levi Stadium, they did it with
the logo. They've got enough a poll apparently to make
the NFL just sort of bend.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
The knee at will.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
So like, can't FIFA just come in, pay him a
few bucks and just take care of the whole thing?
Speaker 4 (41:07):
You don't need.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
This is also something that like sounds like a classic
Jonas Knox radio take. We're like, all right, well, like
what did the forty nine ers rank on For example,
Rodo Wires twenty twenty six Injury Risk Index. Well, they
actually ranked number one, So there's that there. There is
some literally, there's something to what Jonas is saying about
the substation and drawing more theories because how banged up
(41:29):
they are.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
They practiced, that's they do.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Man, Look at that place. It's awful.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Wasn't that where they had their team uh bonding. They
go to Chernobyl for like a team trip or something
properly

(00:33):
The villains are back in the LA Dodgers, but do
you agree or was there also fault to be had
when it came to other teams around Major League Baseball.

that continue to pile up for the San Francisco forty
nine ers and what it means to where they practice.
You know that little nuclear reactor they practice next to.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Ready to listen to Aaron Rodgers eviscerate everything.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I mean as he makes it a preseason habit, you
know the time.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
This was victory Lap Monday for Aaron rods Definitely Victory
Lap good for him.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
A lot of he had an axtra grind. He had
a lot to get off his chest. There was this
felt like years and years of built up having to
hear narrative after narrative about him being criticized by several.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
In the media.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And so he was on the Pat McAfee show yesterday
starring AJ Hawk and decided, you don't what We'll just
take it away from here.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
I'm gonna plead the fifth okay, like that?
Speaker 7 (02:56):
Like that absolute coward absolutely scholars. Are you kidding me? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (03:03):
You got a pardon and you're in front of you
and you pleaded over a hundred times at the White House.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
What are you scared of? Tony? I thought you were
the science. Yeah, I thought you or I am science
and you get up there and you can't answer a question.
And how much time did the network spend of that?
Speaker 6 (03:16):
How much time did they spend on my responses every
week on my vaccination stat at aunt Taylor at Travis's wedding?
They did they do even a minute? Did they do
even a minute on Tony Fauci?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I don't think I've heard that.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
I bet they didn't.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
But on that and there was another scandalous offseason too,
involved in a voter for MVP for Coach of the Year.
Speaker 7 (03:39):
How much time do you did your network spend?
Speaker 6 (03:42):
What's your did your network spend on network?
Speaker 7 (03:47):
How much this is awesome?
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Go back to Faucie, go back to the cowherd. Tony
foucon science. You're spending the entire time right in his
diary about how fun it is to be famous.
Speaker 7 (03:59):
You gotta be kid me? Okay, So on that note,
what are you gonna say about me? Now? What are
you gonna say about right now?
Speaker 4 (04:04):
I got not debate here?
Speaker 7 (04:05):
Are you at a five? Seriously? What are you gonna
say about me?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Now?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Now now that you can't talk about the COVID stuff
because obviously it was it was made you know, in
a lab in China, that's like not even questionable anymore,
Tony Fauci is an absolute criminal. I'm on I'm on
good terms with my family. I'm on good terms of
my family. What are you gonna say?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Now?
Speaker 7 (04:23):
What are you gonna say? Now? You know I got
at least four minutes, Okay, I got There's a lot
of silence, but I will say this. I gotta give.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
I gotta give flowers to stephen A. Smith, my old
friend Stephen Ag because he was man enough to actually
admit and apologize to Kyri. You're so I got to
give a shout out to my guy, stephen A. You
are not a coward. I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Okay, can we talk about uh, we'll wrap up that car.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
There's been a lot of silence.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
I feel like, you know, like nineteen seconds about one subject.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
Don't don't talk about that.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
You know, we can talk about Rex Ryan's foot fetish,
but please don't talk about, you.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Know, h anything else right now.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Don't talk about you know, any scandals of don't talk
about culture's talking about Taylor and Travis's wedding.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Yeah, what what do the insiders know about that? Voight?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Damn?
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Sometimes it's just a being being an aware person and
knowing how to deliver it is.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I mean, how much do you think that's been boiling inside.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Oh God, look man, is it's hard to argue. I mean,
I don't find a lot of inaccuracy. Is and what
he said his family situation was made public consumption for
years and years and years with a lot of people
weighing on it. Uh, the vaccination status, the whole fiasco there,
(05:47):
the Fauci stuff, the inability for that network to want
to cover the Rassini situation when they were so willing
to cover. It's just it's just an odd, odd way
to and it was handled, and it just sounded like
a guy that was ready to get all of that
revenge all in one sit down with Pat McAfee.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
This goes back to I think this idea of accountability
though too, because I think in America we all want,
like to, you know, our opinions and our beliefs and
everything to be kind of fair and balanced and equal.
And I think you go back to that time period,
let's just talk COVID. You know, he wasn't completely innocent
(06:27):
of how he went about discussing it right immunized versus
saying vaccinated, and kind of the tricky way he went
about doing it. Now that being said, I think his
issue is more like, Hey, this is what I'm doing,
no different than Kyrie Irving, who I believe lost I
think eleven point four million during that period in time
(06:49):
because of you know, how he handled himself and people
who didn't want to get vaccinated or did whatever the
case may be. But the point is is for the
people who were on that see if they didn't want
to get vaccinated, there was no one defending them. It
was open seizing on those people. And I think that's
where the frustration comes is, you know, outside of Steven A.
(07:10):
Smith apologizing to Kyrie Irving, like there were no apologies.
What have you heard anyone apologize to Aaron Rodgers about
how they handled everything about him staying it was immunized.
It's never happened. What are the people who've taken shots
at him about his family relationship, which has never been
fair to you know, comment on or take like who
(07:31):
probably had no actual clue about what was going on
behind the scenes. They've never apologized. So that's part of
the issue is there's been no accountability for all the
people who were out there saying that he was wrong
or whoever else felt that way, or for people who
you know, chose not to go get vaccinated, or not
(07:51):
to do something else because they were scared maybe putting
something in their body, or they just didn't want to
do it. It wasn't their belief. There was no one defending them.
And now you start again finding out some of the
truths of it, whether it was a lab league, whatever else.
You know, that's that's been brought to our attention. Now
there's no one saying that, well, these guys should pay
the price. Now, I will say the one thing about
(08:13):
Fauci that gets misconstrued in his pleading for the fifth
the entire time was he was at risk of perjury,
which is why an attorney would tell him to plead
the fifth over a hundred times. You know, yes, he
received a pardon, but there's still the potential issue of
him perjuring himself in front of Congress, which is why
he would plead the fifth like that. But I digress.
(08:36):
This is pent up frustration. This is someone who I
think lives in a world where they all hold each
other accountable. When you're on a football team and between us,
you know our whole job, what we do together, and
I think a lot of athletes, though we always talk
about accountability. I think that's what this comes down to,
is there has been no one who's been held accountable
for a lot of the things he discussed, even the
(08:57):
Racini you know, Vrabel stuff and how ESPN reported or
didn't report it, and a lot of great points that
he brought up. But she has a Coach of the
Year vote, she has an MVP vote. These are some
of the people who are a part of creating the
legacy of what these coaches of players look like. And
yet we're not gonna then hold them accountable for their
(09:19):
actions or talk about it. I mean, she stepped down.
Let's not get it twisted. She stepped down, like she
basically let ESPN off the hook and so of these
other people off the hook. So there's a lot of
truths in what he's saying, but I think the bigger
picture is just there was a side of a lot
of these conversations that didn't any defense, you know, didn't
(09:43):
get anyone to come back and say, you know what,
you were right, I should have listened, or maybe I
should have been more understanding of your position. I think
that's where his frustration comes from.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
It doesn't do away with the realities that we face
during COVID though, that's to me, that's that you get
your victory lap and that's cool. Fauci couldn't even say
what color his tie was or what color the floor was.
If that's perjury, that's crazy to me. And for what
(10:13):
it's worth, a lot of people you had to realize
were you felt like there was no other recourse but
to get the vaccination. I believe you weren't allowed to
travel unless you had the vaccination. On top of that,
on top of that, for wherever it was created, people
(10:38):
were dying because of COVID.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
They were dying.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
That's a reality that wasn't created somewhere in a lab.
They were dying people. And I think a lot of
people took a fence to it. Not for him making
the personal decision for himself, I think a lot of
people had fallouts upon the way it sounded to them
(11:02):
and knowing that they had loved ones that had either
perished from the from the.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Disease or were at risk.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
I know for me personally, my mother and father were
high risk people because of their health concerns. My dad's heart,
my mother's diabetes. There were aspects of my parents' health
that made them risk and their lives totally changed, and
in fact, they haven't stopped living the way that they
(11:31):
were living during the pandemic to this day because of
just fear that it could pop up and that could
be the reason why that ends it for them. So
while I understand where he's coming from, and I'm I'm
you know, I have no beef with with Aaron Rodgers
not wanting to get you know, get the vaccination. My
(11:54):
I would just say, if I'm speaking for it, it came.
It comes across. There's another form of wope, to be honest, like,
and I know everybody's tired of woke.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
That was woke. What he did was pretty woke.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
And and sometimes people don't take kindly to being woke
about how you feel about something. Same thing with Kyrie Irving.
So he did get a victory lap, and and for
what it's worth, what he said had a lot of
validity to it, But that doesn't do away with the
realities that we as a as a nation, in a country,
(12:27):
what we faced. We lost a lot of people to that,
to that disease or to to the illness. What are
the COVID nineteen what what is it called the virus. Yeah,
so I just you know, I get it, but like,
don't make your victory lap too much of a victory
lap in terms of understanding how how how bad that
(12:50):
time was for our entire country.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, I mean it's and yeah, the people definitely did
die for sure, and that that had an impact on lives,
people lost jobs. But I also think that I also
think that it, you know, there was it wasn't just
this cut and dry situation of you're gonna get it.
You've got this amount of issues going on previously, you're
(13:13):
going to pass like my mom had, was was as
high risk as anybody you could possibly imagine, and literally
got COVID and walked through.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It like a fart cloud like it was nothing.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
So there's stories to be told on all different angles
of this. I think what he's doing is telling his
story because people called out his career, call that his
character called out.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Like you know, no wonder his family does.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Like there was a lot of stuff said about this guy,
like a lot, And that's why I don't have an
issue with it. And I think that the problem with
the COVID stuff and the Fauci stuff is that it
becomes it's so politicized that people can't just accept the
fact that, hey, you didn't necessarily do anything wrong. You
(13:56):
followed the advice of people that you trusted, and they
burned you. And and there's there's a hesitancy for a
lot of people to just put their hand up and
say I got got like I fell for it.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Didn't, conversation didn't. Didn't the whole thing become an issue
because they were forcing the players. If you didn't get
get the vaccination, you weren't like, you weren't able, you
weren't clear the play, or you weren't clear travel.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
What was it wasn't any of that. You had a
different protocol. Okay, so you you had to be testing
more often. So forth people could travel. People were able
to travel even without being vaccinated. That wasn't dictated to anyone,
whether they were playing football or not. So it's a
bit of a misconception. I think. I think the problem
is and again he's he's just talking about from his perspective.
(14:44):
I don't think anything he said like went back and
made light of the heaviness of what people were going through,
you know. I think this is more of a search
for the truth of the information and I think that's
what it was, because he felt like he was on
the right side of that trying to explain it to people.
(15:04):
I Mean, one of the things that like I remember
during that time is just flying across the country from
Florida to La the juxtaposition of just how both those
states were operating at that time, and then seeing so
many business owners. You know, I remember like going through
the protocols or just getting into a hotel. You know,
I would you'd literally walk into the hotel and they
(15:25):
would take your temperature, they'd have ask if you had
any symptoms. They'd asked if you ran in anyone who
might have had symptoms. And I'm like, I'm thinking to myself, well,
how could I honestly answer this question. I just went
from an airport, like, of course I could have ran
into someone who maybe was sick. How would I have
known if they were sick or not, you know, and
you're kind of wearing a mask. And then I would
I would leave to go grab carry out from a restaurant.
(15:46):
Mind you, that one week would be in business, the
next week went out of business because of whatever guidelines
La County gave to that restaurant, and in some cases.
There were some restaurants that I remember talking to they
had to you know, spend all this money on this
like HVAC system that helped filter the air, or they
shut down the inside, but they set up the outside
you know for people to come, you know, sit down
(16:08):
and dine, and then they never ended up actually allowing
them to open up completely, so they all that money
was wasted and it further put them in debtor or
forced them to, you know, out of a business. So
I remember every single week coming in in like a
different place would be out of business, and then I'd
literally go grabbed the food in fifteen minutes later do
the exact same protocol, and I remember thinking to myself, like,
(16:28):
how is this effective? You know, Like there were so
many things during that time where I think people had questions.
People were trying to figure out like what exactly's going on,
and there was a lot of people who profited off
it at that time. I think I think that's more
of an issue too for some people out there who
were like man, there are people who ruined their lives,
Like there were people who lost their lives because of sickness.
(16:49):
There are people who their lives were ruined because of
how it was governed or how it was handled, and
at the end of the day, like people are still
trying to find peace with it, and maybe his way
of finding peace with it is, you know, taking those
shots and saying those things that other people don't feel
like they're strong enough to say. Because that's the other
point of this is he's in a position where he's
(17:10):
I don't want to say untouchable, but he's also in
the last year of his playing career. He's a first
ballot Hall of Famer, and he's going to speak his
mind and say what he feels like needs to be said.
For a lot of people out there who you know,
couldn't say what they wanted to say back then, but
maybe you know, and maybe they still can't now. But
at least he's strong enough to kind of put that
out there to defend them.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Well, they certainly don't have the volume of his voice
to do so. And I think that that's the point,
I think for both sides of it. I think that's
why people would be happy for what he did and
what he stood on and what he said in the
media with Pat yesterday.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
But but else was that yesterday?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Yesterday? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Or or you follow on the other side of it
and you're pissed off with him because people can frame
up how they want to look at Aaron Rods in
a few different ways if you're falling on the other
side of it. And people were dictated to and I
mean maybe as a misconception in terms of uh, you know,
being able to travel, I was under the interpretation under
(18:15):
I'm thinking that I had to have it.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
I didn't want to.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
I didn't want to get it either, but I was
made to think that being able to enter into airport,
being able to enter into certain businesses if you did not.
And maybe it was because I was coaching at the
time that I felt that that pressure that I had
to do it because they one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Was you had to do it.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
If you were teaching out of school, when you one
hundred percent had to do it, I don't I don't
recall anybody having the option of opting out. And in fact,
the spacing rules, everything that you did was based upon
you having to take temperatures and wear your mask. And
we're trying to figure out how you wear a helmet
(19:01):
and a mask, how do you play the games? Like
it's crazy? It was crazy times, and I think people
felt as though they didn't have a choice. You did
not have a choice, and I think that that's where
a lot of the outrage came. And again, whether you
were pro or con to getting the vaccination, it COVID
(19:24):
showed us a lot about our country. Man, I'll say that, yeah,
And it's so funny, I said. I remember walking around
one day, I said, this is how easy it is
to lead a flock. If you are at the top
and you're shepherding, I said, can you imagine And five
years ago, a year ago, a few months ago, if
(19:47):
you came walking around with a mask on.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Your face, people would look at you.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
And be like, I'm curious, I'm scared, I'm concerned, call
the cops.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
What is he doing? What is she doing? And what
are they doing?
Speaker 5 (20:01):
And and that would be like like that's a big
red flag.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
And now if you don't have a.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Mask on, it's like people look at you like you
had sixteen eyeball could you oh my.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
God, how could you you?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Meanwhile, those mask you those masks you could hold a
lighter in front of and blow it out with the mask.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
So some people weren't even wearing like they even created.
I'm sure mask companies got rich off because they started
selling those those like industrial strength ones, saying that whatever
the P nine.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, oh Brady autograph.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
One for me, that's the one you have to get.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
Man.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
I was wearing a picture of a lion on a
piece of cloth with with with.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
If you want to really dive into this, it's like
if it wasn't at ninety five, it really didn't do anything.
And actually, if you looked at the research from that
time period, it actually made you more risk of getting
a respiratory infection because you most likely, if you had
any bacteria issues, you were just breathing in the crap
that was getting stuck on the mask when the mask
was carrying. So there was there was a ton of
(21:08):
things that looking back on it, I think that, look,
there's a lot of people who should have been able
to question things more and not feel like they were,
you know, told to shut up and just follow it.
I mean, and again it goes back to like we
didn't know. There's an element of unknown too, where people
tried to react what they felt like they were doing
(21:29):
their best interest, and that's why maybe there's a there's
an element of you know, people not being held accountable
because they can hide under that and say, well, it
was what we thought was best at the time. Looking
back on it, yeah, maybe it wasn't. Maybe it was
you know, maybe it was that wasn't the healthiest thing
for us. To not have people be able to be
outside on the beach or the sun or whatever else,
(21:49):
but to not be able to question it, I think
was the greater issue. And I think that's one of
the things Aaron's talked a lot about. It's like there
couldn't even be a conversation about it, which is also
a greater issue with our entire country. Is we now,
for whatever reason, you're not allowed to say what you feel.
You're not allowed to ask a question or talk about
it unless you we don't like, we don't have different perspectives.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Yeah, when you guys were at the Penn State Iowa game,
I was so. I was watching that game from a
hospital room next to my mom. She was in the
critical care unit, and it was part of the COVID
ward to where they were so overflowed by by patients
(22:30):
and whatnot that we're coming in and the hospital staff
was just almost delirious because they were overwhelmed, they were understaffed.
There were some that left because they didn't want to
be forced to get a vaccine. All of that's happening,
and I can remember, you know, kind of sitting there
and and you know, we're just kind of hanging out.
I remember the game was on TV and I was
(22:52):
talking to one of the nurses that was coming by
to help out and whatnot, and they and I just said,
how are you guys doing this?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
They're like, well, that's the hard part. Like, what's the
hard part? They pointed outside the room a person had
just passed literally moments earlier. Their family couldn't get close
to them because of the social distancing to say goodbye
and had to do it outside a room as they
died alone.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
And that happened with my family. That's when my grandfather
passed away.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
So that's that's why this stuff people could say, well,
look it.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Was it was old news.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
It was Yeah, there's a lot of people that really
got got burned for good that are never going to
have those moments back in that opportunity back to say goodbye.
So that's why this is a touchy subject for a
lot of people. And Rogers is simply like we said,
calling it out from his point of view. Man like
(23:49):
I was also affected by this, and there was a
lot of people that had had things to say. So yeah,
it's uh, it's rough, but at least he got it
off his chest so.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Well from talking about people having a dirt that you know,
when life's busy, sleep matters. Mattress Firm Sleep experts can
match you to a customizable sleep solution like the Temper
Peedick Split King Sleep System. Right now, you can get
three hundred dollars an instant gift card towards a Temper
Peedick Total Sleep solution with Mattress purchase that make sleep easy.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Hey, by the way, for what it's worth for anybody
that's wondering whether or not Rogers did any good.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Yesterday, Antonio Brown did give him the Cracker of the
Day award on social media based on those comments. So
I just want to point that out. It is too Brown,
I didn't send that.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
You always assume he's the one tweeting that I'm gonna
taken for his word. I'm just saying I'm almost positive
that's been By the.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Way, but didn't he get fined a bunch of money
because he had fake vax cards. I think Antonio Brown
did that pop, Yeah, because he had fine by who
I think he got. I think he said he lost
a bunch of money because he had fake vax cards
and so he got punished by the NFL or something
like that. There's something that happened along those.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Yeah, that's well because it's just like one of those
things that Jonas would make up and no one helds
hi account all right.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
So hold me accountable, all right, go ahead, Oh he's looking.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
He was not financially fine, he said he was.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I'm just I'm just saying, man, he he was.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
It was not financially fine. It was it would it
ended up in a suspension, but it said the NFL
film had found he misrepresented his COVID nineteen vaccination status
and used a fake car.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
No, it's unfortunate, but you know he's handing out awards now.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
So we are have Aaron Rodgers that got his way.
He went to guys suspended. Yeah, just saying that's true.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Saying.
Speaker 1 (25:45):

Call it me?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
So coming up in about twelve minutes from now, we
are going to have another edition of In case you
missed it, that'll be yours right here on FSR. Kind
of interesting everybody complaining about the Dodgers going out and
getting trek school ball, and it's a foregone conclusion. I
think last check they were plus one point fifty to
win the World see, which is pretty incredible considering, you know,
(28:04):
it's normally not a number that low when it comes
to trying to pick a future champion in any sport.
But there was a lot of movement that was made
around Major League Baseball yesterday and just a larger discussion.
The extra wild card spot has completely changed that sport
where now you've got teams that aren't very good, but
(28:26):
because they're within the vicinity of the wild card. They're
going out and they're making all these moves, which is
kind of odd considering if it's a foregone conclusion that
the Dodgers are going to win the World Series and
there's going to be a work stoppage, why would you
go out and risk it all? Like the Tigers weren't
that far out of a player given up, giving up,
(28:48):
Like like, why go out and just portrayed a bunch
of your best prospects for the future just so you
can find out, Oh, yeah, we're nowhere close to them,
Like that's like, we're not even in the vicinity of this,
and so that's why, you know, I it's I know,
we talked about the expansion of the NFL playoffs to
where there was the extra wildcard team that came in,
and some people were not fans of it, and I
(29:10):
liked it, and I think eventually they're what they're probably
going to get to eight teams on each side. But
it just sort of opens up at least the door
for hope. But in baseball, you've got to win a series,
and ultimately, I just I don't see how any team
made a move yesterday that you look at and go, oh,
that's gonna be one.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
That competes with the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
I think it's interesting in general talking about a lot
of sports. You get this in college football, we saw
in the NFL, But just the thinking that goes involved
in that, I forget about the trade deadline for a second.
Just Hey, it's expanded the playoffs, which really means that
you'll probably see less managers at least. This is the
common thought that I would hear and hurt a little
(29:51):
bit and talking to some of the folks during Big
Ten media days, but like, hey, if the X playoff,
for example, expands to twenty four in college football, there'll
be coach firings. And I was like, oh, that's interesting,
Like what makes you say that? And people would be like, well,
because if they're getting access into a playoff with they're
playing for a championship, it'd be hard to move on
from a coach. That's the case, And that's one perspective.
(30:13):
There might be other people who say, hey, man, we
got twenty four teams making if you can't make it
a twenty four, like maybe you shouldn't be our coach,
you know, like I might actually it might actually hurt
in a way, And I do wonder if there's elements
of that in Major League Baseball that play out too
in regards to the front office decisions like you're talking
about here with the Tigers, for example, there are some
(30:33):
of these other teams that are like on the cusp
and thinking, well, once we get in, if we just
have enough talent, like we can go win it. It
is weird to think that. It's not like they expanded
it in a large capacity like college football. Did you
know this is just adding on you know, a couple
of teams. But I do think there's a thought as
well in today's front office, regardless of sport, if you
(30:57):
are in the hunt and you're not being active, it's
going to be held against you, like you nowadays more
than ever, when you have the opportunity to be in
control and you can make those decisions, you've got to
be active. You can't be somebody who's sitting on the
sidelines watching it all happen, because it's going to come
back to you at some point, like someone's going to
come back and say, as an owner of the ownership group,
(31:19):
why didn't you make a move, why didn't you go
after that person, or why didn't you try to make
a bid and make something happen. So I feel like
the expansion in some ways has protected some of these
you know, coaches and so forth, where hey, just because
they got in the playoffs, even though they won a championship,
they're going to still remain that manager or that head coach.
(31:40):
But I also feel like it may hurt in another thought,
like if you're not trying to do everything you possibly
can to make sure your team is getting into the
postseason and competing for championships.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
And sometimes people will go back after the fact and
then criticize a move that at the time made all
the sense in the world, the Clippers trading away you know,
Shay Gilgos, Alexander and everything they traded away to get
you know, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George and bring them
in to LA. At the time, everybody loved the move
(32:10):
because man, they're going for it, like they're really going
for it. And then all these years later they get
criticism because how could you get rid of SGA. I mean,
it was a future MVP of the league and this
is what you got from Kawhi and Paul George.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Dude at the time, it made sense.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Like at the time, that move made a lot of sense,
and almost everybody in the league would have done the
exact same thing the Clippers did. It just didn't work out.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Man.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Like, you're putting yourself in as good a spot as
you can and then you're hoping that the results pay
off at the end, but you know a lot of
times it doesn't. There's only one winner at the end
of this whole thing.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
I just I just look at it, and the first
thing I started thinking about was the Yankees, And I
was like, are the Yankees still the same type of
all in Yankees that they were when they were winning
all of those World Series? Kept bringing in guys like
if it wasn't enough to have Derek Jeter on, there
you a break in a rod To not the one
(33:03):
we were talking about first segment, the other one Rodriguez.
I just, in my mind, it exposes the other organizations
that have generally have been all in, and then it
exposes the organizations that have really never been all in
(33:24):
when you had these types of situations. And it makes
you ask the question, which I know, I guess pretty
much we kind of all know the answer to it.
In some cases is, why aren't you spending the type
of money that the Dodgers are spending to keep your team,
not doing patchwork to try to make your team better,
not trying to do a let's run it back, keep
(33:46):
them better. You are doing everything you possibly can to
improve your team, and your team is already a run
it back team. They didn't need to add anything you
want to add pitching. You can never have too good
of a bullpen. From what I gather what baseball represents,
I just find it interesting and I find it curious
(34:11):
all the organizations aren't cash strapped.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Some of these organizations, Like.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
I said, it was the Yankees in the two thousands
or early two thousands that we're doing what the Dodgers
are doing right now. So it makes me wonder, why
have these why have these teams? Why have these franchises
gone so conservative and and just so kind of you know,
(34:37):
managing it versus let's go all in to try to
win it.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Do you think there are more owners pick a league,
any league, that there are more owners that would rather
make money than win a championship.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
I just feel like you wouldn't make money if you
win championships, though hand.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
If you win championships.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
You're gonna make money, yeah, but they're spending the money
to to win the chat you get, you get superstars,
Like think about what it's done for Kansas City. You
have a megastars. You got at least two, you could
say maybe three. In the past, you've had a few,
like you know, you had the Honey Badger, or you
know you had Eric Berry or whatever.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Eric Berry's a little older.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
But I'm just saying you have the ability to build
franchise players and have franchise guys that drive the needle
personally as personal brands for your organization, but the organization itself,
your ticket prices are going to be. You can work
with them because they're in demand. You know, the things
(35:39):
that you do outside of there, you're going to be
in demand. I would just think sponsors want to be
connected to a winner, and they want to be connected
to the viewers.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
And if you're winning.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
People want to watch that people people don't want to
watch losing.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
They don't want to watch it.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
So when you're watching a losing organization, I mean, you know,
I just feel like it goes hang and.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
They hate to push back. Man Wrigley Field's been losing
for a long time.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Oh, they've won some championships won okay, but that's still
you know, and they've been in the hunt a little bit.
I would say, no one can replicate or they have
a hard time replicating what the Dodgers can do because
in baseball, not as many people are able to sell
out as consistently with as big of a stadium and
be able to bring in that additional revenue as compared
(36:28):
to some of the other ballparks out there. That and
they're just they're willing to pay a luxury tax in
order to have success. So in some ways, you know,
it's the willingness of the ownership group to be able
to shell out that sort of cash. In other ways,
it's like, well, we can afford this because we've gotten
such a team that's so healthy, with the manner in
which they're able to attract a crowd, and it's always
(36:50):
a tough ticket, it's always a great following. I mean,
there's not many places like Dodger Stadium. There's not many
fan bases like the Dodgers fan base, so it's not
as equal. So to answer your question, Johna's like, would
these guys probably rather make a profit. I mean, they're
all successful businessmen coming from somewhere else more often than not,
or have other businesses. So I think they realize that
(37:13):
it's hard to win World Series and championships. They'd always
like to be profitable.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
You know.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
If that comes with winning a championship two great. But yeah,
I think there's definitely a side of if I don't
have to put any additional money into this team, it
can make me money and I still own a professional franchise,
Like that's kind of cool enough for me. If I
get a championship, great, but that's going to come oftentimes
with spending more money too. So yeah, maybe to answer
that question, it is more about profitability. It is more about,
(37:41):
you know, finding a way to be able to just
have sustainable business without having to take more out of
your pocket, where you're still enjoying being that guy that
has that special little toy to play with.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
Well, speaking of a special little toy to play with,
I respect pickup trucks that are built to be well,
making it happen without a fuss, and it's the Nissan
Frontier built for the work week and ready to load
up that TAILGATEO on the weekends. Try the twenty twenty
six Nissan Frontier.

Speaker 9 (39:03):
Sometimes you can't get to everything in the world of
sports or entertainment. Good thing the guys are here to
bring you in case you missed it.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Guys, we've got a little bit of a problem here,
all right.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
We've chronicled the Ricky piersall, the Kyle Shanahan, just sort
of the issues the forty nine ers have had, and
you're probably thinking, well, you know, just a couple of
freak occurrences, isolated incidents.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Not a big deal, nothing to worry about.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Then you start to look down the list of forty
nine ers that are currently dealing with an injury. Mike
Evans peer, Saul Andrew Farmer stribbling, Mike Evans, James he
looks injuring healthy, Malik Mustafa, Kaylin Black, just there's Christian Kirk, Like,
(39:53):
there's a number of guys that are currently dealing with
something with the forty nine ers, And so people have
now started to reignite the Hey, where do they practice at?
And it's real close to that substation or a nuclear
reactor or whatever we want to call it. And I
don't know how you guys felt about training camp or
if you preferred going away for training camp or you know,
(40:16):
staying locally or at the team facility. But I know
Fred Warner loves sticking around and being there. But maybe
there is something too. We should probably take the training
camp elsewhere if we're going to continue on here, because
the substation discussions have become louder and louder with the
forty nine ers dealing with all these issues.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Okay, well, I mean, what do they do during the
season comes around that they just I mean it's right
next to their stadium, it's right next to their practical selds.
You can go away for camp, but what happens then
when you come back to the season.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Can't you have FIFA come in and just cover it up.
They did it with Levi Stadium, they did it with
the logo. They've got enough a poll apparently to make
the NFL just sort of bend.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
The knee at will.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
So like, can't FIFA just come in, pay him a
few bucks and just take care of the whole thing?
Speaker 4 (41:07):
You don't need.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
This is also something that like sounds like a classic
Jonas Knox radio take. We're like, all right, well, like
what did the forty nine ers rank on For example,
Rodo Wires twenty twenty six Injury Risk Index. Well, they
actually ranked number one, So there's that there. There is
some literally, there's something to what Jonas is saying about
the substation and drawing more theories because how banged up
(41:29):
they are.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
They practiced, that's they do.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Man, Look at that place. It's awful.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Wasn't that where they had their team uh bonding. They
go to Chernobyl for like a team trip or something
properly
