Sports Radio. Still doing this, huh?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I mean, can't we change this while he's out?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I mean, can we pull Big Noon? Fire that bad
boy up?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I mean, anything to support the actual programs, right? It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It's just, well, you know, I mean, this is.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I'm also sort of playing like the pit fight song
or name Penn, Ohio state fight song.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Or CV notice.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It is two pros and a cup of Joe here
on Fox sports radio. No LaVar Arrington. It is Brady Quinn,
Jonas Knox, little quacks for you, taking you all the
way up until 9am Eastern time.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Can you explain that to people? You keep saying that
like that's common vernacular. Like most people don't even know.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
What that is.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Explain what quacks you're talking about. Quacks.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yes, you keep saying it, but can you explain it?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Quinn and Ox. Quox.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
All right.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Dive a little deeper.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
You used to have a Twitter account.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Speaking of burner accounts.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
You used to have a Twitter account where you would
take quotes from the show.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And you were trying to come up with a name
for it.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
And you combined both our last names to create Quox quotes.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I did. Yeah, it was basically just random quotes from
when we were doing our Sunday night show together.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
And....
Speaker 1 (02:00):
It just it was kind of funny because in the
moment the quote sounded normal. And then the next day
when you see him in in words and in front
of you, you go, wait, what? Why would that be said?
Why would they say those things? Some were offensive. Some
were not. But yeah, that's that's that were that the
origin of that. And so I thought.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
It was from Wicked. Because they have buildings tall as
quacks wood trees.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Totally. Because when you hear Brady and I, you go,
those are a couple of guys that are wicked.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
All the time.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Hard and strong like a tree. Yes, quacks wood. I
like it. That's right.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Now the secret's out. So, yeah, Brady and I were
watching Wicked together one time. We chose that over a
USC game.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I've never seen that movie, actually.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
We decided, you know, we don't want to go to
the USC game. We'll go watch Wicked. And we came
up with Quox as a show name. So that's where
the origin of all that came from. I do know this.
It's time to make the budget work for you with
pricing built for pros. Maximize savings on the products you
purchase the most and save more when you buy items
(03:14):
in bulk prices that work as hard as you do.
Brought to you by the Home Depot. So I don't
know if this is necessarily a great look for one
coach in the NFL who finally gets his opportunity to
be a head coach. But Todd Munkin is the brand
new head coach of the Cleveland Browns. It was a
daunting interview process where I believe they had to go
(03:35):
through a psychic evaluation process. They had to do all
sorts of stuff to be able to qualify for the
job to begin with. But he ultimately gets the job.
He's the head coach there. Deshaun Watson is the starting quarterback.
And he was asked about how much previous film he
had watched on Deshaun Watson as he approaches the job.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I really, to be honest, haven't looked at it. To
be honest, only from afar. People say, well, you had
to look at it.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Well, not really.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I looked at it from afar when I was down
the road. in crossover film or something, but I try
to take everything at face value, what I see. It
doesn't matter what the player is. I think we owe
that to our players, guys that are on the roster.
I want to go into it thinking every player we
(04:24):
have is elite, and all they have to do is
prove me right. That's all they have to do. That's
what I'm going to go into it. They're on an
NFL roster. I expect them to play well, and I
just want them to prove me right. And so I
really hadn't really looked at that. Different staff, different system.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
We'll let it play out.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
We'll see where it goes starting in a week from now.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Boy, their win total is dropping fast on DraftKings.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Is it actually?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I don't know. I'm checking now. That is a man.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
So this is one of two things.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
He either doesn't want to answer the question because he
knows the road that that goes down specifically for Deshaun
Watson or even Shador Sanders last year, for that matter.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Or he's lying.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
So it's one of those two, because I don't know
how you can take a head coaching job in the
NFL and not watch previous year's film on the guys
that you have on your roster and guys that you
are going to be looking at potentially becoming your starter,
in particular, a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So that's the first thing.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Even if it's just from a coaching standpoint to look
at them and say, this is what they do well,
this is what they don't do well, or here's where
they're at, this is what we need to work on.
You have to be aware of what their history was
and how you can help improve them. To just walk
into it thinking that everyone's an all-star and everyone's going
(05:52):
to play great and no one's had past injuries or
no one's had past issues is That to me sounds
like something that a first-time head coach would say. And
that's what Todd Munkin is, but ultimately that's not what
you want to hear if you're the Browns' ownership or
their front office. Because I can guarantee you the front
office was watching tape on all these guys because they
want to know what they have on the roster so
(06:13):
they can supplement that with a draft, with free agency,
potential trades.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
So they're watching all this stuff. So he's got to
be lying because then.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
It would essentially mean the entire organization is not in
line with one another. You're telling me Andrew Barry in
the front office and all the scouts are watching all
this previous tape to get an idea of things, and
he's just walking in like, yeah, I'm not going to
watch that. It was someone else's system, and I want
to believe all these guys are good. With that being said,
I love the fact that he's positive. I love the
(06:43):
fact that he wants these guys to achieve at the
highest level. I really do appreciate that about him. And
the fact that he's given them a clean slate, like
there's there's elements of that, too, that are awesome to hear.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
But you got to know your player.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
And if you don't know the history, it feels like
it's going to be tough for you to be able
to coach them the best way possible.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, I remember when Mike McCarthy did this where he said,
you know, he was basically in some barn somewhere in
Wisconsin and was watching film and he would get together
with other coaches and they would watch all the film
together and then he'd get hired by the Cowboys and
he said after the fact, oh yeah, I never, I
didn't really spend much time watching Cowboys tape or something
(07:27):
along those lines. I was like, oh wow, all right,
so you just, you lied and told Jerry that you
did while you guys had a sleepover and then you didn't.
And I hear this and I go, the fact that
he is a first-time coach, and been in the business
for as long as he's been in the business, this
is his opportunity. And if it goes poorly, he never
(07:47):
gets another one. I find it hard to believe that
he didn't do a deep dive on every single aspect
of the organization, understanding this is my shot, this is
my chance. I want to know top to bottom how
this whole thing operates. I want to know the entire roster.
I want to know everything. And so... That's why I
(08:10):
find it hard to believe that he didn't at least
take a peek because that's job number one. And he
coaches have egos. He probably looks at this as, hey, man,
if I if I can be the guy who can
get to Sean Watson to play at a high level,
that says a lot about me as a coach. And
whether he's here long term or he's not, if I
can be the one to sort of solve the issue
or fix the problem that, you know, that says a
(08:31):
lot about my reputation moving forward. So I find it
hard to believe that he didn't take a peek and
do everything in his power to have as much information
on hand and preparation done going into the season. But
if he didn't... All right, man. Here we go. Your
Cleveland Browns, baby. Like, that's just another layer to the
(08:54):
dysfunction of the Cleveland Browns. Who, by the way, Dylan
Gabriel's still on the roster. I mean, he's banged up,
but he's on the roster. And now we get to see,
you know, what this looks like with Deshaun Watson at
QB for him, who he may or may not have
watched any of going into the season.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
It's just odd. Again, he's got to be lying. I
can't imagine that he.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
would take a job without looking at what he is encountering.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
And I don't know, maybe that changed.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Maybe he didn't watch it because he didn't think he
was going to be on the roster. I mean, again,
if you think about Jimmy Haslam's words earlier this year,
I don't think anyone thought he was going to be
on the roster at this point.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
So maybe that was potentially why. But again, forget Watson
for a second.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Same with Shador same with Dylan Gabriel I mean these
are guys who were on the roster last year to
sit there and say you're not going to go watch
them play watch them throw get an idea of things
uh it's hard to believe and it's it's hard to
believe that even more if then you basically went into
this quarterback competition only being a two quarterback race I
mean Tinley Green's a rookie so I understand him not
(09:57):
being a part of it but if everyone went into
a a clean slate, why wasn't Dylan Gabriel given more
of an opportunity in that competition? Then he goes in
and plays fantastic in the last preseason game. Granted, not
with and against a bunch of starters, but still, it
kind of warrants you thinking, why didn't he get more reps?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
He looked the best of any of the Browns quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
So, you know, again, this can't be, this can't be truthful.
This has to be him avoiding wanting to talk about
what the past looked like and everything else out in
the past and keep everything positive, keep everything moving forward.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
That's the only way you can view this.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
And he also, he mentioned, you know, maybe when I
was down the road, I took a, like, I think
Ben Johnson said this, and there was people that talked
about the reason why he took the Bears job is
because when he was with the Lions, he would see
sort of what the potential could be. And that's what
led him to have interest in taking the job. And
so the fact that Todd Munkin spent as much time
(10:55):
as he did with Baltimore and wasn't at least looking
around and kind of peeking around and saying, well, you know,
they do this well, or this guy needs to get
it together there. I just, yeah, I don't buy it.
I don't buy it for a second. But I mean,
at least we know on record, he is a liar
this early in his tenure with the Browns. Which we
can't point.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Every coach lies.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
I feel like they lie to certain degrees and half
the time they're lying to themselves, you know, and that's
the truth of probably the NFL is oftentimes you got
to lie to yourself and fake it till you make it.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I mean, that's what it is. Unless you're a Dijon love,
then that's a whole different story.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Now you're scamming people out of money, carrying an NFL
helmet with you everywhere, which... Might be the funniest part
of that whole story is just how many different photos
you find of him just randomly wearing quote-unquote issued gear
or team apparel and just carrying a helmet. Like, that's
something NFL players do, which is becoming a trend that
guys are making fun of, but... I've never met any
(11:52):
NFL player who would carry their helmet anywhere other than
being in the facility in practice, or maybe they would
maybe use it or have a helmet they would use
if they're working out. But they're not walking into a
restaurant or a store or walking around to a car
dealership or other places walking. to use that to prove
that they're actually a player on an NFL roster.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, but hold on. If you work in construction, don't
you always have your stuff with you? Like, you never know? Like,
you just never know when something pops up. Like, if
you're a mechanic, you always got stuff with you, you know,
in the trunk because you never know when you're going
to need to, you know, step into action. He looks
at this and goes, hey, man, I may as well
bring my helmet.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
So you're telling me that when he walks into McDonald's,
he's going to bring out his hard hat and put
it on just to walk into McDonald's?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Because you never know what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
You never know. Like, hey, man, I just wanted to
stop by real quick. And as gullible as some people are,
they'll buy into this just because they want to be
next to a celebrity.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I don't mean to put anyone on blast, but I
do feel like Loretta could have potentially fallen for this. Really?
I do feel like she could. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Well— I mean.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
She might be gullible for this sort of story.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I don't know. I just... I do recall last year,
Lorena was getting ready for the football season and printed
out photos of all the starting quarterbacks in the NFL
as flashcards. And she showed me a picture of Dak Prescott,
and it was Will Greer.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
So.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
So that is a true story. I was like, Lorena,
this is not Dak Prescott. She goes, it's not? I
was like, it's Will Greer. Google failed me. Google failed me.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
All right.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Yeah, maybe Google failed these women to get that screenshot
of him.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Actually, it's saying that he was a 49ers player.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Did you see how dedicated he was, though?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Like he would go to different fields with the whole
outfit on.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
He would have.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
But that's what I'm saying is no one actually does that.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Any NFL player that I've ever seen before in my
life doesn't wear issued gear everywhere they go. Like, it's
just it's not a thing that you do. I have
no idea why he thought I mean, again, he worked.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Hard at it.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I also don't understand when you see these videos or
these videos being sent to women. And he was just
going on these diatribes about like what it's like to
play in the NFL and talking about the waiver process
or talking about how it actually works. I mean, like,
that's I don't understand. Do people actually communicate that way?
They just send like a four minute long video to someone.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I mean, Therani, you've had some awkward communications.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yeah, we're talking to you here because you are the
target audience.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I definitely have not had that.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
I just don't feel like I'm gullible enough to fall
for something like that.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I really don't.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
You also work around us, so you could corroborate the
story and say, is this legit?
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Yeah, I mean, I was dating a guy who said
he was a Somalier, and I didn't even believe him.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I'm like, nah, you're a busser, my guy.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Maybe he was just Somalian.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
This guy's not Somalian. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
I mean, all I know is as soon as Dejon
Love took off that little bandana thing, I was like,
all right, now I know why he was wearing the
bandana thing.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Not a great hairline.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
It's just, yeah, I mean, that whole thing is just wild.
And he got, what, 1 point, was it 1.3 million?
1.3 million. It came out to about 50,000 a woman,
I believe, that he conned at this money.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Well, yeah, he was 14 at the time they started.
I mean, think about that kid. He's probably sitting in
junior high thinking, hmm, wonder how I can con some people.
I want to know how those two even connected. Like,
that's the most fascinating part is somehow this dude who,
what's he in his 30s now?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
35.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
So when he's 31, he's conning a 14-year-old into helping
him with this? I mean, he's to blame, but it's
not like that kid was completely unaware. But still, 14,
kind of gullible.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I don't like it. Yeah, that part is a bit creepy.
When in your 30s are you hanging out with a
14-year-old devising a scam to get $ 1. 3 million out of
women who just want to chase celebrities? That's a little awkward.
Where does that happen?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I mean, I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
This offseason for storylines between Ravel Rossini to the Jed
York situation to now this, I mean— It has been bonkers.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You can't make this stuff up. I mean, maybe it
is made up. Maybe this is all part of the script.
I mean, no one's going to challenge that, but maybe
that's part of it.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, I mean, look, you know, and the fact that,
you know, he was trying to be a 49er with
everything going on with that organization is just, you know,
is pretty unfortunate. And then, you know, the Brandon Ayuk
stuff was bananas as well, too. That's gotten quiet all
of a sudden. It's just, you know, the Jaden Daniels,
you know, fight for number five crap that went down
(16:49):
for a little while. That was odd. It's just... But
you know what, man? Game week is here. Game week
is here. We got college football coming up, and it's
coming up tomorrow. Which, by the way, what is the
status on Quinn's wins? Are you bringing it back this year?
Are you going to dust that bad boy off and
let it ride, or what?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, can I go ahead and dictate the terms of that?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I'm asking.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
You keep calling out like it's your day.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Quinn's wins. I can't wait to play that all season. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I just....
Speaker 4 (17:22):
You've been waiting for that moment for a while, haven't you?
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Sitting at the tip of my fingers. It's your best work.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
What?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
At some point we will get to doing Quinn's wins.
It will not be today nor tomorrow, but Friday before
week one would be the day in which.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
We will select, we will select some games.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Hell yeah. That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Um, just, it's crazy to be how you keep trying
to like, just jump in on this. I just want
to make it a competition. We've tried that with the NFL.
That didn't work out for you. Well, for you in
the past, I mean, look, Maybe it's because you're over 40.

could get that work. What a scumbag, by the way.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
LaVar's a real piece of work, man.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Why is he a scumbag for liking Dolly Parton?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
She was staring 80 years old, square in the eyes,
and he's talking about giving her that work.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Was this off of the performance at halftime of Thanksgiving game?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Is that where that came from?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I don't know. I think that is when it was from, yeah.
Was it? It's like, the woman's like 78 at the time.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Was the way he said it, if he said it
a different way, would that make you feel better about it?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
It's just there. With LaVar's cadence, there's a point where
He finally– he just gives up on trying to be
professional and just lets it all go. And so he'll
go through and kind of explain and give his reasoning,
kind of walk you through this whole thing. And then
if you counter that or he finally gets to the end,
(20:39):
it just– he sums it up quickly at the end
and just kind of goes, listen, man. Dolly Parton could
get that work.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
That's actually a great impression.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
That's just, he like, he tries.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
You can hear the, you can hear the moment you
gave up.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
That's just like, hey, look. Look, Dolly Parton could get
that work. Like, he tries to be professional. He tries
to be a class act. And then it ultimately just
comes back to, no, he's got some scum back to him.
And that woman was 78 years old. And a man
(21:16):
on national radio talked about giving her that work. It's unbelievable.
But LeVar will be back tomorrow. And we can have
that discussion with him coming up.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
All right. So I know you. So I guess we
got it. We got to pick, you know. Which substance
abuse issue to get to? Do you want to go
Tony Romo or do you want to go Tiger Woods?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I think the Romo route is the better way to
go because it's more recent.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
And we have a little bit of an idea of it.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
But yes, we've got updates for our adult convictions, I
guess is what we'll call this.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
So Tony Romo did release a statement talking about his.
Situation that went down. He took, you know, full responsibility
for what happened. He also talked about just kind of
the back issues and the surgeries he's been through. He
(22:19):
spoke about, you know, those surgeries leading to pain medication,
which led to alcohol. He said the following. Football has
shaped nearly every meaningful part of my life. I played
for more than 20 years, including 14 in the NFL
with the Dallas Cowboys. After my retirement, CBS gave me
the profound honor of staying close to the game through broadcasting.
(22:41):
Playing taught me the power of relationships, the strength of
a team, and the toughness to face failure head-on with honesty, resilience,
and the determination to do better. This is one of
those moments when I am leaning on everything football has
taught me. This morning, I faced a recent personal failure
by pleading no contest to a civil offense for OWI
in Wisconsin. I own this completely. Multiple back surgeries ended
(23:05):
my career earlier than I expected and left me with
constant debilitating pain. The pain led to a dependence on
pain medication, and my efforts to get off those medications
led to an over-reliance on alcohol. As I've taught my
three young boys, when you fall short, you stand up
and take full responsibility. This is an important first step.
The harder and more important step is examining the path
(23:25):
that brought you here and making the changes necessary to
move forward. The path requires honesty. None of this is
an excuse. These are my failures and I take full
responsibility for them. I talked about the past month being difficult,
but basically turning his attention to his health, his family
and so on and so forth. That being said. His
(23:46):
BAC was a. 15. That dude was smoked.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I hate to laugh about it. I mean, he was, yes,
he was hammered. He should know better.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I mean, the reality is this still goes back to
the like, I'm shocked this stuff happens. at this day
and age with so many opportunities to have ride shares
or you still want people to call a cab on
a rotary phone, but.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
How this could happen to him given his stature, given
how much money he makes, quite frankly. The one thing
I just say about him saying all this is he's
trying to get back into the good graces. He's trying
to take accountability for the mistake that he made. All
that's great. But the guy plays golf every damn day.
If you have back issues, come on, man. Golf is
(24:37):
not the sport for you. I've had back surgery, too.
We'll probably need more in the future. I can barely
play the game of golf when we have these tournaments
for three days in a row. My back is completely
jacked up at that point. I'll see a chiropractor, a masseuse.
I'll probably go get some sort of acupuncture done. I
understand the issues that he's dealing with.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Trust me.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
But when you say that, it's like, all right, but
like we're also playing golf every single day, too.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
And let's not get things twisted like you made a mistake.
Leave it at that.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
I don't know that you have to bring your NFL
career on this and say, oh, I was dependent on this,
this and that.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I mean, dude, you got caught. You got caught drinking
and driving.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
We don't need to get this whole long story about
how long you play and everything else when you continue
to play golf every single day and enter every single tournament.
So I would just say generally this. It's awesome to
hear him taking accountability for it. I don't think he'll
be back with CBS.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I just don't.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
It seems like it's too convenient of an excuse to
move on from this in his contract and what they're
paying him. And I think JJ Watts is going to
do a great job. So I'll be, I'll be curious
to see what opportunities are there for him. And if
CBS will still hang on to him, but I just,
I don't see that future, at least not, not calling
games with CBS.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I was watching the field sobriety test a little bit yesterday.
Why was he barefoot? Why did a, Whose idea was that?
I mean, what did he was he driving barefoot? Did
he have just golf shoes on? It was like, I
don't want to I don't want to get my spice.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Well, maybe he had sandals and he didn't want to
try to do a field sobriety test and sandals. OK,
it's just, you know, he's just saying, I mean, it
does it does bring up the question of if you
are put in that position and you choose to do
a field sobriety test.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
You probably got to put your best foot forward.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
I mean, if he had on like a nice pair
of sneakers, I'm sure he would have put them on,
but he may only had sandals with him.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Or maybe he had like dress shoes or something.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I mean, you know, I would, you know, I'd probably
go those Ultra Boosts that you got me years ago.
I still got them.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, but that's like a really thick cushioned bottom.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
I mean, if they start to ask you to do
anything side to side, I mean, you know, you're falling
off like a platform.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, that's true, because it's got that sock top to
where you're.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Kind of sliding around a little bit. See, maybe you
want to be barefoot. Maybe that helps you be grounded,
gives you the best chance of passing that.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, but I understand the grounding thing if you're standing on,
you know, freshly cut grass and you really want to
become one with nature. Tony Romo's, you know, got a. 15.
The guy's, you know, brushing his teeth with vodka. And
he shows up in a parking lot next to a
couple of cops and he's doing a field sobriety test barefoot.
(27:16):
It's just it's an odd look, you know, and it's
it's you know, it's unfortunate. But man, was he ripped.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
I do appreciate, though, you going back through the video
and pointing out this detail.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I don't know about anyone else.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
And Sports Talk Radio has pointed out the barefoot Tony
Romo portion of the field sobriety test.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Because I wanted to know what a. 15 looked like.
What is a. 15? Give me some sort of an idea.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
You think that played into his decision to not wear shoes?
If he was a little bit more sober, he would
have been like, I probably should put some shoes on.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
What's that thing when people get so cold, there's a
point in time where you're about ready to freeze to death?
that there's this thing where your body tricks you into thinking, yeah,
but there's like a phase to where your body tricks
you into thinking that you're warm. So you end up
taking all your clothes off as you're freezing to death.
And I just wonder, do you get to point, like,
(28:12):
what are the stages? You get to 0.08 and you go, oh,
I'm okay to drive. You get to 0.10 and you're like,
I'm okay to have this, you know, bottle of Evan
Williams next to me in the passenger seat. And then
when you get to 0.15, are you like, Just go
barefoot who needs shoes Like what are the stages That's
what I'm trying to get to the bottom of here.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
I do think it's legal to drive a car barefoot.
I mean, nothing says you can't. I don't think you
can't professionally, like a commercial truck driver. But I mean,
I don't know. Maybe you want to drive barefoot. Maybe
he's a barefoot driver. I mean, there's been times I've
taken my shoes off and driven barefoot. It kind of
feels good.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
You know, you got a little more connection to the
accelerator and the brake pedal. I don't know. Something to it.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I feel like my feet would slip, plus my toes.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Maybe you try to stick one out the window and
drive with the other one. Maybe. Air that puppy out.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
You could do that.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
You can't tell me that Lorena hasn't put her feet
out the window before.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Oh, 100%. She probably sells the pictures. I mean, she'd
probably make a pretty penny on that. Definitely should.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Patty, Patty, you don't strike me as the type to
put your feet out the window. You strike me more
as like you put your head out the window like
a dog.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
I can neither confirm nor deny that accusation, Brady.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
This saliva.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
I just see Patty's face all happy with the wind
blowing through his hair.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Because he got out the window he's like.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Yeah think ace ventura with the sunglasses on um.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Yeah just happy to be outside the sunshine.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Man um all right so great enough with tony roboman
let's get over to somebody who's got everything figured out
tiger woods uh what's going on with your buddy tiger
um in this uh in his in his handling of
things uh what does he got well i.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Don't I don't fully know exactly what's happening yet. This
is what's changed. Woods is changing his not guilty plea
in his DUI case. If you'll recall, he did agree
to a breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol,
so kind of the opposite of what's happening with Tony
Romo here.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
But he refused a urine test, and he I.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Believe the sheriff's office in the report, the deputies found
a couple pain pills in his pocket, and he showed
signs of impairment, which this has been something that, look,
he's also an athlete. He's dealt with a lot of
injuries between the car accident, other injuries from playing golf.
So it's understandable if he was on some sort of medication.
I mean, I've said to you before, when you see
(30:45):
his leg and the damage that's been done, there was
probably a conversation about amputating it. You know, he's probably
dealing with a ton of pain just keeping his leg
the way it is now.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
And I'm not trying to make an excuse for him.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
And obviously he went to seek treatment at an inpatient
treatment facility, I believe, overseas. But this sounds like a
similar move where he's pleading guilty or no contest to
the original charges.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Jesus, man.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
I'm looking at his leg right now. Which means he's
probably reached like a plea deal with the prosecutors. to
reduce the charge to avoid a DUI conviction. That's usually
what happens, is you agree to some sort of deal,
so it won't be a DUI, but it'll be reckless
or careless driving, something along those lines. That's where this
case is at. But remember, he was in a residential area,
(31:34):
I believe flipped his car, and it was off of
the back bed of a landscaping truck, something like that.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, I'm a little... I'm looking at a picture of
his leg for the first time. I've never actually looked
at it. Good God, man. He's got a scar going
up from ankle all the way to the bottom of
his knee on the side. There was a time where
I believe there was a conversation that he had with
(32:03):
him about that. And look, I've spent time with him,
a couple moments chatting, talking about it, and I came
away just feeling awful.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
For the way it impacted his career, his ambitions, everything else,
and the pain he was in. I mean, you can
tell he's living constantly with pain with that. And I'm
not trying to make an excuse for him, because in
this instance, too, I mean, he's.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Done this now, it feels like a couple of times.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
But also someone who's in a similar situation, and he's
doing his best to try to reduce the charge so
he can move forward with things.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yeah, that's crazy. Well, look, hopefully... you know, he bounces
back and everybody gets, everybody gets all this stuff sorted out.
And so you're called your shot, Tony Romo done with
CBS for good. We're going to wrap things up here.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I don't see how they bring him back.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
I saw the statement and I thought, all right, so
he's definitely not going to be back this year. This
is going to be his time to get right. But
maybe they come back next year, but JJ Watts good.
I mean, he's good in the booth. So, there's not
it's not like they're desperate for guys who want to
call games and so yeah it does feel like this
is an easy sort of separation of hey he goes
(33:22):
his his way we're going to go our way and
everybody just moves on um you know especially with all
the the backlash he gets to where it was no
longer just oh you're nitpicking things about Tony Roma it
was it was glaringly obvious that he just wasn't totally
prepared to call games at times and I think that's
(33:42):
You know, kind of everybody realized that in the Super
Bowl a couple of years ago, you know, the Chiefs, Eagles.
It was pretty obvious to everybody at that time as well, too.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
So and I think, look, there's an element of the
broadcasting formatics, which I had to go to school for broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
And so I kind of had to learn on the fly. But,
you know, one of the things you're paid to do
is to give your opinion.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
And so when you become it, it becomes cliche to say,
I don't know, Jim. It's like, no, dude, like you're
the analyst. You're the one that we're supposed to hear from.
You're supposed to tell us what you see or what
you think is going to happen. And, you know, from
your experience, story tell or tell us about the conversation
you have with the player coach.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
That's that's where you are supposed to take things over.
And so there's a portion of it, too, that I
think it just became wearing.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
You're listening to him going, what is he talking about?
Or why is he asking Jim Nance what he thinks
on this play? Isn't this your job to do that?
And mind you, when the question of his preparation is
called into question, and there was reports about this, and
I think people who watch the games heard this, it
falls back on, well, yeah, he was in a qualifying
event for golf earlier this week or at some other point.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, give the guy a break.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
It goes back to, like, you're going to use the
excuse of your back issues, yet you're out there swinging
a golf club all the time.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
And then you're not prepared for your job. Let's just
call it what it is.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Listen, yeah. Come on. Cut the guy some slack, man.
He was golfing earlier this week. He can't prepare for
this game. I mean, he's making $ 18 million a year,
but he can't prepare for that. He's got to golf. Yeah,
I hate when that happens. But also, by the way,
you mentioned broadcasters. Are we getting Blandino on again this year?
Are we doing Blandino? I can ask him. All right.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
I can see what he wants to do.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
I got a feeling he's going to say no.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, I would probably say no to.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
I would probably say no to. I think if he
comes on, I don't know that he wants to talk
about football. That's the problem.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Yeah. I think he just wants to talk about other
stuff going on.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Which is fine. Look, he's funny. I mean, it's a
good time with Dean. Very sarcastic.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
He's done stand-up comedy before.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I don't know if people know that.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
He's very sarcastic. You know, we play the Godfather theme
when he comes on, so... Really, really leaning into the
eye-tie portion of the show. It is two pros and
a cup of joe here on Fox Sports Radio. By
the way, I respect a pickup that's built to do
the job without making a fuss. That's a Nissan Frontier
built for the work week and ready to load up
the tailgate on the weekends of the 2026 Nissan Frontier.
(36:11):
And up next, it's a Wednesday tradition here on the show.
It's the good, the bad, and the ugly, and it's
yours here on FSR.

And there's some bad.
Speaker 7 (37:09):
And then there's some downright ugly things. It's time for Good, Bad,
and Ugly.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Well, Sheriff Suica, who's got the duties this week?
Speaker 5 (37:21):
Well, I tell you what, Sheriff, the good of the
week happens to be you, Deputy Knox. So, shoot from
the hip, partner.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Draw. Draw. Well, it's game week. I mean, all the
mumbo jumbo and all the court rulings and TROs and
portal stuff and all that, all of that sort of
goes off to the side, falls off into the distance.
And now we just focus on the games that are here.
It's a full slate of games. We got a little
(37:50):
bit of a sprinkle last weekend. It was fun to
see it back. It was fun to see Bill Belichick
in all his glory getting a win in Dublin, Ireland.
Maybe not the most impressive offensive output, but nonetheless, the
W is a W. But it's game week. It starts
tomorrow and just rolls all the way through the weekend.
The Labor Day college football schedule is awesome. I look
(38:12):
forward to it every year, and it's back for more.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
All right, Will.
Speaker 5 (38:17):
Now it's time for the bad of the week, and
with VAR out, it's going to be me, Sheriff Sleeka.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I'm the bad of the week. She called you a number, huh, bud?
Speaker 1 (38:25):
You are the bad of the week. I am the bad.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
No, my bad of the week, Lorena, is that Aaron
Donald has returned, and I'm a Seahawk fan.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
No one cares about that.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Oh, my.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Come on. I had to pick a bad.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Hold on.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Hold on.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Lorena, what did he do that made you say that?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
It's always just Seahawks with him. I just can't. It's
always Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Thank you. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
He's almost as bad as Jonas with the Bears. What
are you talking about? I never bring up the Bears.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
The Cubs are worse with Jonas. The Cubs.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Yeah, you want to say the Cubs, that's fine. But
you notice I didn't say anything today about him?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Well, he is.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
It's over.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
It's over. You texted me at one point. Was that
Sunday's game? Yeah. I just happened to be watching with
my family, and I was like, my goodness. Was that
a leadoff home run, too? The first versus the Reds?
It was like, as soon as the ball hit the bat,
he just dropped it like he knew it was gone.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
It's so loud, too, and he's like 140 pounds, and
he just rips. Absolutely rips. I don't want to make
accusations here, but, you know, you just wonder about stuff
like that. So that's all. We'll finally.
Speaker 7 (39:37):
The Ugly of the Weekend.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
Constable Quinn, shoot from the hip, partner.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
We could go a lot of different routes here.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
I'm starting to see more and more fights on the
sidelines of high school games. There was one that was
going viral. A coach getting into it, the official. It
could be, you know, even smaller schools, colleges, things of
that nature. But can we just all calm down and
enjoy the game of football? Like, all right, the refs
are out here to do the best they can. They
(40:06):
don't have replay. They're not perfect.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
They're going to make mistakes. I've been trust me.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
I've been on that side of it now coaching junior
high football like it's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Can we just everyone calm down? It's just a game.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
We don't need to threaten people's lives because of what
happens out there on the field.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
It's just a game. There was one that took place.
It was a youth football game. I don't even think
it was high school. And it was coach on coach
and assistant coaches jumping in in the middle of a game,
throwing blows.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Reminds me of the time LeVar. It happened to him.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
That guy he attacked with the oxygen tank. I mean,
the guy attacked him with the oxygen tank.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
It's kind of odd he went after LeVar, of all people.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Yeah, but he didn't have to stab him. Like, I
thought that was a bit much. He did what? Wait,
I don't know.

Jonas Knox, little quacks for you, taking you all the
way up until 9am Eastern time.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Can you explain that to people? You keep saying that
like that's common vernacular. Like most people don't even know.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
What that is.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Explain what quacks you're talking about. Quacks.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yes, you keep saying it, but can you explain it?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Quinn and Ox. Quox.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
All right.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Dive a little deeper.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
You used to have a Twitter account.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Speaking of burner accounts.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
You used to have a Twitter account where you would
take quotes from the show.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And you were trying to come up with a name
for it.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
And you combined both our last names to create Quox quotes.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I did. Yeah, it was basically just random quotes from
when we were doing our Sunday night show together.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
And....
Speaker 1 (02:00):
It just it was kind of funny because in the
moment the quote sounded normal. And then the next day
when you see him in in words and in front
of you, you go, wait, what? Why would that be said?
Why would they say those things? Some were offensive. Some
were not. But yeah, that's that's that were that the
origin of that. And so I thought.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
It was from Wicked. Because they have buildings tall as
quacks wood trees.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Totally. Because when you hear Brady and I, you go,
those are a couple of guys that are wicked.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
All the time.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Hard and strong like a tree. Yes, quacks wood. I
like it. That's right.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Now the secret's out. So, yeah, Brady and I were
watching Wicked together one time. We chose that over a
USC game.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I've never seen that movie, actually.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
We decided, you know, we don't want to go to
the USC game. We'll go watch Wicked. And we came
up with Quox as a show name. So that's where
the origin of all that came from. I do know this.
It's time to make the budget work for you with
pricing built for pros. Maximize savings on the products you
purchase the most and save more when you buy items
(03:14):
in bulk prices that work as hard as you do.
Brought to you by the Home Depot. So I don't
know if this is necessarily a great look for one
coach in the NFL who finally gets his opportunity to
be a head coach. But Todd Munkin is the brand
new head coach of the Cleveland Browns. It was a
daunting interview process where I believe they had to go
(03:35):
through a psychic evaluation process. They had to do all
sorts of stuff to be able to qualify for the
job to begin with. But he ultimately gets the job.
He's the head coach there. Deshaun Watson is the starting quarterback.
And he was asked about how much previous film he
had watched on Deshaun Watson as he approaches the job.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I really, to be honest, haven't looked at it. To
be honest, only from afar. People say, well, you had
to look at it.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Well, not really.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I looked at it from afar when I was down
the road. in crossover film or something, but I try
to take everything at face value, what I see. It
doesn't matter what the player is. I think we owe
that to our players, guys that are on the roster.
I want to go into it thinking every player we
(04:24):
have is elite, and all they have to do is
prove me right. That's all they have to do. That's
what I'm going to go into it. They're on an
NFL roster. I expect them to play well, and I
just want them to prove me right. And so I
really hadn't really looked at that. Different staff, different system.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
We'll let it play out.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
We'll see where it goes starting in a week from now.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Boy, their win total is dropping fast on DraftKings.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Is it actually?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I don't know. I'm checking now. That is a man.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
So this is one of two things.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
He either doesn't want to answer the question because he
knows the road that that goes down specifically for Deshaun
Watson or even Shador Sanders last year, for that matter.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Or he's lying.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
So it's one of those two, because I don't know
how you can take a head coaching job in the
NFL and not watch previous year's film on the guys
that you have on your roster and guys that you
are going to be looking at potentially becoming your starter,
in particular, a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So that's the first thing.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Even if it's just from a coaching standpoint to look
at them and say, this is what they do well,
this is what they don't do well, or here's where
they're at, this is what we need to work on.
You have to be aware of what their history was
and how you can help improve them. To just walk
into it thinking that everyone's an all-star and everyone's going
(05:52):
to play great and no one's had past injuries or
no one's had past issues is That to me sounds
like something that a first-time head coach would say. And
that's what Todd Munkin is, but ultimately that's not what
you want to hear if you're the Browns' ownership or
their front office. Because I can guarantee you the front
office was watching tape on all these guys because they
want to know what they have on the roster so
(06:13):
they can supplement that with a draft, with free agency,
potential trades.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
So they're watching all this stuff. So he's got to
be lying because then.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
It would essentially mean the entire organization is not in
line with one another. You're telling me Andrew Barry in
the front office and all the scouts are watching all
this previous tape to get an idea of things, and
he's just walking in like, yeah, I'm not going to
watch that. It was someone else's system, and I want
to believe all these guys are good. With that being said,
I love the fact that he's positive. I love the
(06:43):
fact that he wants these guys to achieve at the
highest level. I really do appreciate that about him. And
the fact that he's given them a clean slate, like
there's there's elements of that, too, that are awesome to hear.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
But you got to know your player.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
And if you don't know the history, it feels like
it's going to be tough for you to be able
to coach them the best way possible.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, I remember when Mike McCarthy did this where he said,
you know, he was basically in some barn somewhere in
Wisconsin and was watching film and he would get together
with other coaches and they would watch all the film
together and then he'd get hired by the Cowboys and
he said after the fact, oh yeah, I never, I
didn't really spend much time watching Cowboys tape or something
(07:27):
along those lines. I was like, oh wow, all right,
so you just, you lied and told Jerry that you
did while you guys had a sleepover and then you didn't.
And I hear this and I go, the fact that
he is a first-time coach, and been in the business
for as long as he's been in the business, this
is his opportunity. And if it goes poorly, he never
(07:47):
gets another one. I find it hard to believe that
he didn't do a deep dive on every single aspect
of the organization, understanding this is my shot, this is
my chance. I want to know top to bottom how
this whole thing operates. I want to know the entire roster.
I want to know everything. And so... That's why I
(08:10):
find it hard to believe that he didn't at least
take a peek because that's job number one. And he
coaches have egos. He probably looks at this as, hey, man,
if I if I can be the guy who can
get to Sean Watson to play at a high level,
that says a lot about me as a coach. And
whether he's here long term or he's not, if I
can be the one to sort of solve the issue
or fix the problem that, you know, that says a
(08:31):
lot about my reputation moving forward. So I find it
hard to believe that he didn't take a peek and
do everything in his power to have as much information
on hand and preparation done going into the season. But
if he didn't... All right, man. Here we go. Your
Cleveland Browns, baby. Like, that's just another layer to the
(08:54):
dysfunction of the Cleveland Browns. Who, by the way, Dylan
Gabriel's still on the roster. I mean, he's banged up,
but he's on the roster. And now we get to see,
you know, what this looks like with Deshaun Watson at
QB for him, who he may or may not have
watched any of going into the season.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
It's just odd. Again, he's got to be lying. I
can't imagine that he.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
would take a job without looking at what he is encountering.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
And I don't know, maybe that changed.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Maybe he didn't watch it because he didn't think he
was going to be on the roster. I mean, again,
if you think about Jimmy Haslam's words earlier this year,
I don't think anyone thought he was going to be
on the roster at this point.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
So maybe that was potentially why. But again, forget Watson
for a second.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Same with Shador same with Dylan Gabriel I mean these
are guys who were on the roster last year to
sit there and say you're not going to go watch
them play watch them throw get an idea of things
uh it's hard to believe and it's it's hard to
believe that even more if then you basically went into
this quarterback competition only being a two quarterback race I
mean Tinley Green's a rookie so I understand him not
(09:57):
being a part of it but if everyone went into
a a clean slate, why wasn't Dylan Gabriel given more
of an opportunity in that competition? Then he goes in
and plays fantastic in the last preseason game. Granted, not
with and against a bunch of starters, but still, it
kind of warrants you thinking, why didn't he get more reps?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
He looked the best of any of the Browns quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
So, you know, again, this can't be, this can't be truthful.
This has to be him avoiding wanting to talk about
what the past looked like and everything else out in
the past and keep everything positive, keep everything moving forward.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
That's the only way you can view this.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
And he also, he mentioned, you know, maybe when I
was down the road, I took a, like, I think
Ben Johnson said this, and there was people that talked
about the reason why he took the Bears job is
because when he was with the Lions, he would see
sort of what the potential could be. And that's what
led him to have interest in taking the job. And
so the fact that Todd Munkin spent as much time
(10:55):
as he did with Baltimore and wasn't at least looking
around and kind of peeking around and saying, well, you know,
they do this well, or this guy needs to get
it together there. I just, yeah, I don't buy it.
I don't buy it for a second. But I mean,
at least we know on record, he is a liar
this early in his tenure with the Browns. Which we
can't point.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Every coach lies.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
I feel like they lie to certain degrees and half
the time they're lying to themselves, you know, and that's
the truth of probably the NFL is oftentimes you got
to lie to yourself and fake it till you make it.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I mean, that's what it is. Unless you're a Dijon love,
then that's a whole different story.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Now you're scamming people out of money, carrying an NFL
helmet with you everywhere, which... Might be the funniest part
of that whole story is just how many different photos
you find of him just randomly wearing quote-unquote issued gear
or team apparel and just carrying a helmet. Like, that's
something NFL players do, which is becoming a trend that
guys are making fun of, but... I've never met any
(11:52):
NFL player who would carry their helmet anywhere other than
being in the facility in practice, or maybe they would
maybe use it or have a helmet they would use
if they're working out. But they're not walking into a
restaurant or a store or walking around to a car
dealership or other places walking. to use that to prove
that they're actually a player on an NFL roster.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, but hold on. If you work in construction, don't
you always have your stuff with you? Like, you never know? Like,
you just never know when something pops up. Like, if
you're a mechanic, you always got stuff with you, you know,
in the trunk because you never know when you're going
to need to, you know, step into action. He looks
at this and goes, hey, man, I may as well
bring my helmet.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
So you're telling me that when he walks into McDonald's,
he's going to bring out his hard hat and put
it on just to walk into McDonald's?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Because you never know what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
You never know. Like, hey, man, I just wanted to
stop by real quick. And as gullible as some people are,
they'll buy into this just because they want to be
next to a celebrity.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I don't mean to put anyone on blast, but I
do feel like Loretta could have potentially fallen for this. Really?
I do feel like she could. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Well— I mean.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
She might be gullible for this sort of story.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I don't know. I just... I do recall last year,
Lorena was getting ready for the football season and printed
out photos of all the starting quarterbacks in the NFL
as flashcards. And she showed me a picture of Dak Prescott,
and it was Will Greer.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
So.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
So that is a true story. I was like, Lorena,
this is not Dak Prescott. She goes, it's not? I
was like, it's Will Greer. Google failed me. Google failed me.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
All right.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Yeah, maybe Google failed these women to get that screenshot
of him.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Actually, it's saying that he was a 49ers player.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Did you see how dedicated he was, though?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Like he would go to different fields with the whole
outfit on.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
He would have.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
But that's what I'm saying is no one actually does that.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Any NFL player that I've ever seen before in my
life doesn't wear issued gear everywhere they go. Like, it's
just it's not a thing that you do. I have
no idea why he thought I mean, again, he worked.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Hard at it.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I also don't understand when you see these videos or
these videos being sent to women. And he was just
going on these diatribes about like what it's like to
play in the NFL and talking about the waiver process
or talking about how it actually works. I mean, like,
that's I don't understand. Do people actually communicate that way?
They just send like a four minute long video to someone.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I mean, Therani, you've had some awkward communications.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yeah, we're talking to you here because you are the
target audience.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I definitely have not had that.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
I just don't feel like I'm gullible enough to fall
for something like that.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I really don't.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
You also work around us, so you could corroborate the
story and say, is this legit?
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Yeah, I mean, I was dating a guy who said
he was a Somalier, and I didn't even believe him.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I'm like, nah, you're a busser, my guy.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Maybe he was just Somalian.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
This guy's not Somalian. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
I mean, all I know is as soon as Dejon
Love took off that little bandana thing, I was like,
all right, now I know why he was wearing the
bandana thing.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Not a great hairline.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
It's just, yeah, I mean, that whole thing is just wild.
And he got, what, 1 point, was it 1.3 million?
1.3 million. It came out to about 50,000 a woman,
I believe, that he conned at this money.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Well, yeah, he was 14 at the time they started.
I mean, think about that kid. He's probably sitting in
junior high thinking, hmm, wonder how I can con some people.
I want to know how those two even connected. Like,
that's the most fascinating part is somehow this dude who,
what's he in his 30s now?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
35.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
So when he's 31, he's conning a 14-year-old into helping
him with this? I mean, he's to blame, but it's
not like that kid was completely unaware. But still, 14,
kind of gullible.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I don't like it. Yeah, that part is a bit creepy.
When in your 30s are you hanging out with a
14-year-old devising a scam to get $ 1. 3 million out of
women who just want to chase celebrities? That's a little awkward.
Where does that happen?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I mean, I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
This offseason for storylines between Ravel Rossini to the Jed
York situation to now this, I mean— It has been bonkers.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You can't make this stuff up. I mean, maybe it
is made up. Maybe this is all part of the script.
I mean, no one's going to challenge that, but maybe
that's part of it.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, I mean, look, you know, and the fact that,
you know, he was trying to be a 49er with
everything going on with that organization is just, you know,
is pretty unfortunate. And then, you know, the Brandon Ayuk
stuff was bananas as well, too. That's gotten quiet all
of a sudden. It's just, you know, the Jaden Daniels,
you know, fight for number five crap that went down
(16:49):
for a little while. That was odd. It's just... But
you know what, man? Game week is here. Game week
is here. We got college football coming up, and it's
coming up tomorrow. Which, by the way, what is the
status on Quinn's wins? Are you bringing it back this year?
Are you going to dust that bad boy off and
let it ride, or what?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, can I go ahead and dictate the terms of that?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I'm asking.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
You keep calling out like it's your day.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Quinn's wins. I can't wait to play that all season. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I just....
Speaker 4 (17:22):
You've been waiting for that moment for a while, haven't you?
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Sitting at the tip of my fingers. It's your best work.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
What?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
At some point we will get to doing Quinn's wins.
It will not be today nor tomorrow, but Friday before
week one would be the day in which.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
We will select, we will select some games.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Hell yeah. That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Um, just, it's crazy to be how you keep trying
to like, just jump in on this. I just want
to make it a competition. We've tried that with the NFL.
That didn't work out for you. Well, for you in
the past, I mean, look, Maybe it's because you're over 40.

could get that work. What a scumbag, by the way.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
LaVar's a real piece of work, man.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Why is he a scumbag for liking Dolly Parton?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
She was staring 80 years old, square in the eyes,
and he's talking about giving her that work.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Was this off of the performance at halftime of Thanksgiving game?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Is that where that came from?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I don't know. I think that is when it was from, yeah.
Was it? It's like, the woman's like 78 at the time.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Was the way he said it, if he said it
a different way, would that make you feel better about it?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
It's just there. With LaVar's cadence, there's a point where
He finally– he just gives up on trying to be
professional and just lets it all go. And so he'll
go through and kind of explain and give his reasoning,
kind of walk you through this whole thing. And then
if you counter that or he finally gets to the end,
(20:39):
it just– he sums it up quickly at the end
and just kind of goes, listen, man. Dolly Parton could
get that work.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
That's actually a great impression.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
That's just, he like, he tries.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
You can hear the, you can hear the moment you
gave up.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
That's just like, hey, look. Look, Dolly Parton could get
that work. Like, he tries to be professional. He tries
to be a class act. And then it ultimately just
comes back to, no, he's got some scum back to him.
And that woman was 78 years old. And a man
(21:16):
on national radio talked about giving her that work. It's unbelievable.
But LeVar will be back tomorrow. And we can have
that discussion with him coming up.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
All right. So I know you. So I guess we
got it. We got to pick, you know. Which substance
abuse issue to get to? Do you want to go
Tony Romo or do you want to go Tiger Woods?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I think the Romo route is the better way to
go because it's more recent.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
And we have a little bit of an idea of it.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
But yes, we've got updates for our adult convictions, I
guess is what we'll call this.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
So Tony Romo did release a statement talking about his.
Situation that went down. He took, you know, full responsibility
for what happened. He also talked about just kind of
the back issues and the surgeries he's been through. He
(22:19):
spoke about, you know, those surgeries leading to pain medication,
which led to alcohol. He said the following. Football has
shaped nearly every meaningful part of my life. I played
for more than 20 years, including 14 in the NFL
with the Dallas Cowboys. After my retirement, CBS gave me
the profound honor of staying close to the game through broadcasting.
(22:41):
Playing taught me the power of relationships, the strength of
a team, and the toughness to face failure head-on with honesty, resilience,
and the determination to do better. This is one of
those moments when I am leaning on everything football has
taught me. This morning, I faced a recent personal failure
by pleading no contest to a civil offense for OWI
in Wisconsin. I own this completely. Multiple back surgeries ended
(23:05):
my career earlier than I expected and left me with
constant debilitating pain. The pain led to a dependence on
pain medication, and my efforts to get off those medications
led to an over-reliance on alcohol. As I've taught my
three young boys, when you fall short, you stand up
and take full responsibility. This is an important first step.
The harder and more important step is examining the path
(23:25):
that brought you here and making the changes necessary to
move forward. The path requires honesty. None of this is
an excuse. These are my failures and I take full
responsibility for them. I talked about the past month being difficult,
but basically turning his attention to his health, his family
and so on and so forth. That being said. His
(23:46):
BAC was a. 15. That dude was smoked.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I hate to laugh about it. I mean, he was, yes,
he was hammered. He should know better.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I mean, the reality is this still goes back to
the like, I'm shocked this stuff happens. at this day
and age with so many opportunities to have ride shares
or you still want people to call a cab on
a rotary phone, but.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
How this could happen to him given his stature, given
how much money he makes, quite frankly. The one thing
I just say about him saying all this is he's
trying to get back into the good graces. He's trying
to take accountability for the mistake that he made. All
that's great. But the guy plays golf every damn day.
If you have back issues, come on, man. Golf is
(24:37):
not the sport for you. I've had back surgery, too.
We'll probably need more in the future. I can barely
play the game of golf when we have these tournaments
for three days in a row. My back is completely
jacked up at that point. I'll see a chiropractor, a masseuse.
I'll probably go get some sort of acupuncture done. I
understand the issues that he's dealing with.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Trust me.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
But when you say that, it's like, all right, but
like we're also playing golf every single day, too.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
And let's not get things twisted like you made a mistake.
Leave it at that.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
I don't know that you have to bring your NFL
career on this and say, oh, I was dependent on this,
this and that.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I mean, dude, you got caught. You got caught drinking
and driving.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
We don't need to get this whole long story about
how long you play and everything else when you continue
to play golf every single day and enter every single tournament.
So I would just say generally this. It's awesome to
hear him taking accountability for it. I don't think he'll
be back with CBS.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I just don't.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
It seems like it's too convenient of an excuse to
move on from this in his contract and what they're
paying him. And I think JJ Watts is going to
do a great job. So I'll be, I'll be curious
to see what opportunities are there for him. And if
CBS will still hang on to him, but I just,
I don't see that future, at least not, not calling
games with CBS.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I was watching the field sobriety test a little bit yesterday.
Why was he barefoot? Why did a, Whose idea was that?
I mean, what did he was he driving barefoot? Did
he have just golf shoes on? It was like, I
don't want to I don't want to get my spice.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Well, maybe he had sandals and he didn't want to
try to do a field sobriety test and sandals. OK,
it's just, you know, he's just saying, I mean, it
does it does bring up the question of if you
are put in that position and you choose to do
a field sobriety test.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
You probably got to put your best foot forward.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
I mean, if he had on like a nice pair
of sneakers, I'm sure he would have put them on,
but he may only had sandals with him.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Or maybe he had like dress shoes or something.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I mean, you know, I would, you know, I'd probably
go those Ultra Boosts that you got me years ago.
I still got them.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, but that's like a really thick cushioned bottom.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
I mean, if they start to ask you to do
anything side to side, I mean, you know, you're falling
off like a platform.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, that's true, because it's got that sock top to
where you're.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Kind of sliding around a little bit. See, maybe you
want to be barefoot. Maybe that helps you be grounded,
gives you the best chance of passing that.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, but I understand the grounding thing if you're standing on,
you know, freshly cut grass and you really want to
become one with nature. Tony Romo's, you know, got a. 15.
The guy's, you know, brushing his teeth with vodka. And
he shows up in a parking lot next to a
couple of cops and he's doing a field sobriety test barefoot.
(27:16):
It's just it's an odd look, you know, and it's
it's you know, it's unfortunate. But man, was he ripped.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
I do appreciate, though, you going back through the video
and pointing out this detail.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I don't know about anyone else.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
And Sports Talk Radio has pointed out the barefoot Tony
Romo portion of the field sobriety test.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Because I wanted to know what a. 15 looked like.
What is a. 15? Give me some sort of an idea.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
You think that played into his decision to not wear shoes?
If he was a little bit more sober, he would
have been like, I probably should put some shoes on.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
What's that thing when people get so cold, there's a
point in time where you're about ready to freeze to death?
that there's this thing where your body tricks you into thinking, yeah,
but there's like a phase to where your body tricks
you into thinking that you're warm. So you end up
taking all your clothes off as you're freezing to death.
And I just wonder, do you get to point, like,
(28:12):
what are the stages? You get to 0.08 and you go, oh,
I'm okay to drive. You get to 0.10 and you're like,
I'm okay to have this, you know, bottle of Evan
Williams next to me in the passenger seat. And then
when you get to 0.15, are you like, Just go
barefoot who needs shoes Like what are the stages That's
what I'm trying to get to the bottom of here.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
I do think it's legal to drive a car barefoot.
I mean, nothing says you can't. I don't think you
can't professionally, like a commercial truck driver. But I mean,
I don't know. Maybe you want to drive barefoot. Maybe
he's a barefoot driver. I mean, there's been times I've
taken my shoes off and driven barefoot. It kind of
feels good.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
You know, you got a little more connection to the
accelerator and the brake pedal. I don't know. Something to it.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I feel like my feet would slip, plus my toes.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Maybe you try to stick one out the window and
drive with the other one. Maybe. Air that puppy out.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
You could do that.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
You can't tell me that Lorena hasn't put her feet
out the window before.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Oh, 100%. She probably sells the pictures. I mean, she'd
probably make a pretty penny on that. Definitely should.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Patty, Patty, you don't strike me as the type to
put your feet out the window. You strike me more
as like you put your head out the window like
a dog.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
I can neither confirm nor deny that accusation, Brady.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
This saliva.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
I just see Patty's face all happy with the wind
blowing through his hair.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Because he got out the window he's like.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Yeah think ace ventura with the sunglasses on um.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Yeah just happy to be outside the sunshine.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Man um all right so great enough with tony roboman
let's get over to somebody who's got everything figured out
tiger woods uh what's going on with your buddy tiger
um in this uh in his in his handling of
things uh what does he got well i.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Don't I don't fully know exactly what's happening yet. This
is what's changed. Woods is changing his not guilty plea
in his DUI case. If you'll recall, he did agree
to a breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol,
so kind of the opposite of what's happening with Tony
Romo here.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
But he refused a urine test, and he I.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Believe the sheriff's office in the report, the deputies found
a couple pain pills in his pocket, and he showed
signs of impairment, which this has been something that, look,
he's also an athlete. He's dealt with a lot of
injuries between the car accident, other injuries from playing golf.
So it's understandable if he was on some sort of medication.
I mean, I've said to you before, when you see
(30:45):
his leg and the damage that's been done, there was
probably a conversation about amputating it. You know, he's probably
dealing with a ton of pain just keeping his leg
the way it is now.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
And I'm not trying to make an excuse for him.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
And obviously he went to seek treatment at an inpatient
treatment facility, I believe, overseas. But this sounds like a
similar move where he's pleading guilty or no contest to
the original charges.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Jesus, man.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
I'm looking at his leg right now. Which means he's
probably reached like a plea deal with the prosecutors. to
reduce the charge to avoid a DUI conviction. That's usually
what happens, is you agree to some sort of deal,
so it won't be a DUI, but it'll be reckless
or careless driving, something along those lines. That's where this
case is at. But remember, he was in a residential area,
(31:34):
I believe flipped his car, and it was off of
the back bed of a landscaping truck, something like that.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, I'm a little... I'm looking at a picture of
his leg for the first time. I've never actually looked
at it. Good God, man. He's got a scar going
up from ankle all the way to the bottom of
his knee on the side. There was a time where
I believe there was a conversation that he had with
(32:03):
him about that. And look, I've spent time with him,
a couple moments chatting, talking about it, and I came
away just feeling awful.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
For the way it impacted his career, his ambitions, everything else,
and the pain he was in. I mean, you can
tell he's living constantly with pain with that. And I'm
not trying to make an excuse for him, because in
this instance, too, I mean, he's.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Done this now, it feels like a couple of times.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
But also someone who's in a similar situation, and he's
doing his best to try to reduce the charge so
he can move forward with things.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yeah, that's crazy. Well, look, hopefully... you know, he bounces
back and everybody gets, everybody gets all this stuff sorted out.
And so you're called your shot, Tony Romo done with
CBS for good. We're going to wrap things up here.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I don't see how they bring him back.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
I saw the statement and I thought, all right, so
he's definitely not going to be back this year. This
is going to be his time to get right. But
maybe they come back next year, but JJ Watts good.
I mean, he's good in the booth. So, there's not
it's not like they're desperate for guys who want to
call games and so yeah it does feel like this
is an easy sort of separation of hey he goes
(33:22):
his his way we're going to go our way and
everybody just moves on um you know especially with all
the the backlash he gets to where it was no
longer just oh you're nitpicking things about Tony Roma it
was it was glaringly obvious that he just wasn't totally
prepared to call games at times and I think that's
(33:42):
You know, kind of everybody realized that in the Super
Bowl a couple of years ago, you know, the Chiefs, Eagles.
It was pretty obvious to everybody at that time as well, too.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
So and I think, look, there's an element of the
broadcasting formatics, which I had to go to school for broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
And so I kind of had to learn on the fly. But,
you know, one of the things you're paid to do
is to give your opinion.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
And so when you become it, it becomes cliche to say,
I don't know, Jim. It's like, no, dude, like you're
the analyst. You're the one that we're supposed to hear from.
You're supposed to tell us what you see or what
you think is going to happen. And, you know, from
your experience, story tell or tell us about the conversation
you have with the player coach.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
That's that's where you are supposed to take things over.
And so there's a portion of it, too, that I
think it just became wearing.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
You're listening to him going, what is he talking about?
Or why is he asking Jim Nance what he thinks
on this play? Isn't this your job to do that?
And mind you, when the question of his preparation is
called into question, and there was reports about this, and
I think people who watch the games heard this, it
falls back on, well, yeah, he was in a qualifying
event for golf earlier this week or at some other point.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, give the guy a break.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
It goes back to, like, you're going to use the
excuse of your back issues, yet you're out there swinging
a golf club all the time.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
And then you're not prepared for your job. Let's just
call it what it is.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Listen, yeah. Come on. Cut the guy some slack, man.
He was golfing earlier this week. He can't prepare for
this game. I mean, he's making $ 18 million a year,
but he can't prepare for that. He's got to golf. Yeah,
I hate when that happens. But also, by the way,
you mentioned broadcasters. Are we getting Blandino on again this year?
Are we doing Blandino? I can ask him. All right.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
I can see what he wants to do.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
I got a feeling he's going to say no.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, I would probably say no to.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
I would probably say no to. I think if he
comes on, I don't know that he wants to talk
about football. That's the problem.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Yeah. I think he just wants to talk about other
stuff going on.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Which is fine. Look, he's funny. I mean, it's a
good time with Dean. Very sarcastic.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
He's done stand-up comedy before.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I don't know if people know that.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
He's very sarcastic. You know, we play the Godfather theme
when he comes on, so... Really, really leaning into the
eye-tie portion of the show. It is two pros and
a cup of joe here on Fox Sports Radio. By
the way, I respect a pickup that's built to do
the job without making a fuss. That's a Nissan Frontier
built for the work week and ready to load up

Speaker 7 (37:05):
There are some good things that happen.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
And there's some bad.
Speaker 7 (37:09):
And then there's some downright ugly things. It's time for Good, Bad,
and Ugly.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Well, Sheriff Suica, who's got the duties this week?
Speaker 5 (37:21):
Well, I tell you what, Sheriff, the good of the
week happens to be you, Deputy Knox. So, shoot from
the hip, partner.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Draw. Draw. Well, it's game week. I mean, all the
mumbo jumbo and all the court rulings and TROs and
portal stuff and all that, all of that sort of
goes off to the side, falls off into the distance.
And now we just focus on the games that are here.
It's a full slate of games. We got a little
(37:50):
bit of a sprinkle last weekend. It was fun to
see it back. It was fun to see Bill Belichick
in all his glory getting a win in Dublin, Ireland.
Maybe not the most impressive offensive output, but nonetheless, the
W is a W. But it's game week. It starts
tomorrow and just rolls all the way through the weekend.
The Labor Day college football schedule is awesome. I look
(38:12):
forward to it every year, and it's back for more.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
All right, Will.
Speaker 5 (38:17):
Now it's time for the bad of the week, and
with VAR out, it's going to be me, Sheriff Sleeka.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I'm the bad of the week. She called you a number, huh, bud?
Speaker 1 (38:25):
You are the bad of the week. I am the bad.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
No, my bad of the week, Lorena, is that Aaron
Donald has returned, and I'm a Seahawk fan.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
No one cares about that.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Oh, my.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Come on. I had to pick a bad.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Hold on.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Hold on.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Lorena, what did he do that made you say that?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
It's always just Seahawks with him. I just can't. It's
always Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Thank you. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
He's almost as bad as Jonas with the Bears. What
are you talking about? I never bring up the Bears.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
The Cubs are worse with Jonas. The Cubs.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Yeah, you want to say the Cubs, that's fine. But
you notice I didn't say anything today about him?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Well, he is.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
It's over.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
It's over. You texted me at one point. Was that
Sunday's game? Yeah. I just happened to be watching with
my family, and I was like, my goodness. Was that
a leadoff home run, too? The first versus the Reds?
It was like, as soon as the ball hit the bat,
he just dropped it like he knew it was gone.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
It's so loud, too, and he's like 140 pounds, and
he just rips. Absolutely rips. I don't want to make
accusations here, but, you know, you just wonder about stuff
like that. So that's all. We'll finally.
Speaker 7 (39:37):
The Ugly of the Weekend.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
Constable Quinn, shoot from the hip, partner.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
We could go a lot of different routes here.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
I'm starting to see more and more fights on the
sidelines of high school games. There was one that was
going viral. A coach getting into it, the official. It
could be, you know, even smaller schools, colleges, things of
that nature. But can we just all calm down and
enjoy the game of football? Like, all right, the refs
are out here to do the best they can. They
(40:06):
don't have replay. They're not perfect.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
They're going to make mistakes. I've been trust me.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
I've been on that side of it now coaching junior
high football like it's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Can we just everyone calm down? It's just a game.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
We don't need to threaten people's lives because of what
happens out there on the field.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
It's just a game. There was one that took place.
It was a youth football game. I don't even think
it was high school. And it was coach on coach
and assistant coaches jumping in in the middle of a game,
throwing blows.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Reminds me of the time LeVar. It happened to him.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
That guy he attacked with the oxygen tank. I mean,
the guy attacked him with the oxygen tank.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
It's kind of odd he went after LeVar, of all people.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Yeah, but he didn't have to stab him. Like, I
thought that was a bit much. He did what? Wait,
I don't know.
