(00:41):
Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas knocks the here

who's got some problems fast approach studio to we'll hit

and wherever you are. We appreciate you hanging out with
us on a hump day here on fs ARE, so
we get ready for you holiday listen. Uh you know, uh,
desperate times call for desperate measures, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you have to sometimes you gotta make the call. Uh
help the bullpen phone is working there? Um, all right,
(01:24):
So we talked about No, he's fine. I listen, he's
he's all good man rock baby, Uh yeah, just get Yeah.
So we talked about the L A. Rams getting a
(01:45):
win over Seattle last night. We talked about Philly getting
a win over Washington and people trying to trying to
separate themselves in the NFC. And then you got the
Tampay Buccaneers. So all of a sudden, I have now
got some problems on their hands. And we mentioned the
Chris Godwin injury. He's done for the year. Leonard Fournett
is gonna miss time, most likely the rest of the
(02:07):
regular season, but potential to be back for the postseason. Obviously,
Mike Evans was banged up. Now they've signed David Yeah,
now they've signed Levian Bell. That was a quick box whoa, whoa.
It wasn't he trying to box? What happened? Yeah, he
was looking for work. Hey, but you do know him
and a B reunited again? What could go wrong? And
(02:28):
it feels so good. Hot take, hot take. I actually
think behind that offensive line he could do all right.
I'm just I'm just saying to you right now, I
actually think, like the reunion between him and be A
and that offensive lot, as good as they are, he
could do all right behind that. I'm I must call
that right now. Historically speaking, hot take might have been
(02:51):
hot box with those guys. Yeah, yeah, where where is
was it Blunt? Garrett Blunt? Wasn't it a A B two? Yeah,
we're walking the green Wolf in their in their transam. Um,
So you think this is boxing? This is the boxing
(03:15):
best offensive line Laby on Bell's hat since his early
years in Pittsburgh, since Pittsburgh. Yeah, I think I think
it's fair to say. And that's why I'm like, this
can actually kind of work. Like I'm just saying, no,
he's not. But I'm just I'm telling you he didn't
have to be the same for a season. Now, he
only has to be the same for the next few
weeks into the playoffs and then he's probably you know,
(03:37):
sharing carries or he's not gonna be there. So I
think it could work. I really do. I think you know,
he you know, he's been out for a while now,
trying to box or whatever the hell was going on,
shoot himself up with whatever he needs to go show
out for a few weeks. You know, wow, I mean Jesus,
we're encouraging that here on the air. But you know that,
you know how many times he'll get drug tested, given
(04:00):
his age and the fact that he was out, he
will get drug tested every day. They will be a
drug test inspector literally sitting at his locker waiting for
him to get undressed and just say, hey, you got
your pants off, let's just go into the urnal now. No.
I mean, they'll just trying to make a Yeah, that's
what I'm saying that I thought were random. You could
(04:23):
go ask Dr Lombardo like when you when you come
back in the NFL and you fall into that category
of being around thirty and then being on the fringe, Like,
that's the guys they test the most. So instead of
the guys who are playing at like a pro Bowl level,
they'll test the guys who were like on the fringe
of rosters the most. It doesn't make much sense to
(04:46):
me that dude out there looks like Superman, but you're
gonna test this dude. He was just on the street.
Can we never? Can we go? Can we stay there
for a minute. There are some of the craziest stories
connected to you know, random steak. Can I give you
one right now? That Ken Dorsey? Alright, Ken Dorsey? Who
(05:07):
he was? Dorsey? He was with us in Cleveland and down.
I want to say it was my first year there,
and maybe it was a second year. I can't remember which,
but he was around the age at thirty at that point,
and he had gotten drug tested like three weeks straight
and maybe a couple of times each of those weeks.
(05:29):
And finally he just went off on the on this
drug tested guy. He's like, are you kidding me? He's like,
look at me. He's like, I hate the weight room.
He's like, you think I'm taking something? Like he just
it was one of those all time epic rants. And
to his point, like he made the baggy sleeves long sleeves,
mind you, not even T shirt like baggy long sleeves.
He made it. He made He took that thing with
(05:50):
some swagged out at to you, like he brought that
to the NFL. I'm like, dude, if you wear baggy
sleeves like you're not taking performance and ancers Like, I'm sorry, Like,
I just those two things don't go together. They don't correlate.
You don't wear baggy sleeves and then all of a
sudden on the side, you're taking some sort of performance
enhancing drug. It just doesn't work. It was the other guy.
Sam Bradford was the other guy who wore baggy sleeves, right.
(06:10):
I don't think anybody else has done it since. One
story that I'll give had nothing to do with performance enhancing.
He had everything to do with chilling out while you're
chilling on the chill chill chilling out right, yeah, left
handed chill out. Yeah. So everybody had their theories on
(06:33):
how on how to beat the test. And one homie, homie,
he had a long he had a long ass peinky uh,
pinky nail and I'm like, he just always ask like,
why is your pinky nails so long? Right? So the
dude used to put dip his finger and clorox breach
(06:55):
every single time he going into the locker room. I'll
be like, is this dude doing And it comes to
find out he would do it because if he got
randomly tested, he would hit his finger because I guess
say off the figure God. So basically he was trying
(07:17):
to throw off the pH the pH of his what
he had going on. So so ironically enough, maybe there
was like I don't know the whole changing of like
Lattimer might have messed it up from the program for everybody,
but whatever it is that was happening, people were beating
the test. It's like the tests were coming back inconclusive,
(07:40):
like it wasn't saying positive, but it wasn't saying negative either, right,
so they started making radio I mean, you came after me,
but they started making you pull your pets out around
her knees. Oh yeah, in front of him. It wasn't
like that at first. It's like you said, they's a
right outside the stall. You're going to stall. You do
(08:02):
what you need to do is cool? Man, day have
you your pads? Are you're short to be around your knees?
Man like this? Like, why why are you a grown
man standing there looking at me? Like hunt, I already
told you before. Like there are certain places where like
guys had that drug testing guy unlocked, like you'd see
(08:24):
him at the club, Like wait, what what do I
know this dude? You're like, oh, yeah, and you're like, wait,
he said, the table getting bottles like this happening right now,
like this dude, this dude was litterally getting bottle service
at clubs. And I'm like, well, hold on, now, I
don't I mean, oh, I get it. I get it.
(08:44):
That's that's part of the person. It sounds like a
bad job until it's not what you actually think about
some of the stuff that happened under the table. Take
him wine and dine them a little bit, and then
all of a sudden you get a heads up. Well
then all of a sudden, you know, now you're not
necessarily test at the facility. Know, maybe it's getting picked
up at your front doorstep. Did you hear this? You
know John Jones, the UFC fire, did you did you
(09:07):
hear the story when he tried to skip a random test.
Guy shows up to the gym in Albuquerque to give
him a random test, and he had either been you know,
smoking weed or whatever whatever he'd been doing, and he
hid under the cage in the gym and the guy said, well,
you know, we're supposed to get this done, so I'll
just hang out here, and he was there for hours.
(09:28):
Jones hit under the cage entire time. He went to
the bathroom under there. He did everything to avoid this
random test. Finally the guy left and they had to
mop and clean up. He was gonna pop, he was
gonna he was gonna get out of tested. That's one
of the most uncomfortable situations. Like it's one thing when
you for whatever reason, like I could differentiate my mind,
(09:51):
like when you go to work you have to get
drug tests, you're like, oh, that's part of the job.
When they come to your house, then it feels like
an invasion of your price and they're like, all right,
you're in my damn bathroom looking at me naked. It's
like there's like a line needs to be drawn at
some point. I just felt uncomfortable. I've never had anyone
show up to my crib, but I'm just saying that
(10:13):
is I'll tell you the worst is when you've you've
messed up and and you get that, you get it
like it's like, yeah, you're home for the weekend, like
you hanging with the homies, Like yeah, pass it, I
tell him puff. And then that Monday they're like, yeah,
you gotta come in and said come in, like no, well,
(10:37):
what's the idea at the combine, there's been guys that
have got I want to see who is it? Then
you got to be the most ignorant duit ever. But
I think to Pop, I think what guys were doing, right, Brady,
they were drinking a bunch of water today and that
would be inconclusive. But at the combine you're not getting
around it. You're not getting around it like they will
(10:58):
make you test. That was like that so well, but
let's just go back to what was it two years
ago with Chase Claypool. Like I remember talking to him beforehand,
and he he ended up wighing in at like two
thirty eight to forty whatever it was. It was heavy,
like he only plays like and so I remember I
(11:19):
sat down with him, like, dude, what happened? He goes, Man,
I was so nervous about gaining dehydrated because all everyone
said out here was like the way it works is
it's like long days and it's hurry up and wait,
and and you're going to one drill and then and
you and you're asked to do something like a really
high speed and you're not doing anything for a while,
and you're asked to do it again. He's like, and
sometimes it's so long, like guys get cramps. He's like, you,
(11:40):
you don't want to get that. He's especially because I
know him a test. Well, I'm like, so when you
drink a bunch of water, He's like yeah, he's like,
now everyone thinks I want to play tight end and like,
so the only reason was just he was scared about
like the cramping and all that because he was so
amped up to test that. Then people started saying like, oh,
maybe he could play like a flex tight end position
and he's like, no, no, Like I was just trying
(12:00):
to drink water so I'd be hydrated from the flight
because I forget where he was training, but it was
a long flight in into Indiapolis. Oh he was training
out here in cal You know. The funny thing about
that is is that guys, like first off, at the
at the combine, you literally have to get up out
of your sleep. You are not allowed to go to
(12:21):
the restroom. Your test is immediately out of your sleep,
like go go put it in the in the cup. Right.
But again, if you are heading into the combine and
you would actually have something in your system other than
what needs to be there, you have done the Lord's work,
(12:44):
the Lord's will for yourself and for anybody who was
going to employ you. You know what I'm saying. You
have done the lord priorities. You know, you gotta gotta
chase the dragon. Sometimes. Have you ever heard of somebody
popping positive for for a drug of some sort at Combine?
You've done the Lord's will. It's it's it's it was
meant to be for you, not to make it into
(13:06):
the league. Just and I can have no I can
have no sympathies. I can have no no, no feelings
of remorse empathy. If you pop for a drug at
that space, in that place in time, you got everything
you deceive. But if they had a poppy seed bagel
or a poppy seed that that pop high school for that, Yeah,
(13:31):
that's a true thing. That is a real but noting. No,
no poppy seeds, no nothing, nothing that can make me
pop for anything out of combine. And I've been working
since i was eight years old. I drew that picture
and said, mom, I'm a value of house. One day
it says eight years old, and I'm now here at
(13:53):
the combine. There ain't a poppy seed that exists in
the world. That's going down his mouth. Whatever it is,
they ain't going in my mouth. I ain't swallowing at all.
Careful with that, poppy said, Yeah, I ain't messing with it.
You know you ain't going ahead of me popping. Yeah,
oh boy, that is that is just ripe withdraw Right
(14:16):
there at the door step, Roberto, I'm knocking at the door. Bill,
be caring that poppy seed. You know what I mean.
I gotta be careful what you're trying to say. I'm
just saying the type of an inside joke, nothing at all. Nothing.
By the way, it can happen easily. A few drinks
(14:37):
become a few too many, it's time to go, and
you think of calling for right at home. Now, what's
the worst that can happen? You get pulled over, you
lose your license, you told your car, you kill someone,
drive sober, or get pulled over paid for by nits.
All right, So coming up next, somebody on this show
got burned. They got shaft because they were told no,
they were denied. And this is a second time this
(15:00):
has happened over the past couple of weeks. We're gonna
get into all that for you next year on FS

that goes with Teena Turner singing. You know That's what
I was thinking that. Yeah, there's a lot behind this.
She went through a whole lot like no, I know
that this song. I'm trying to tell you she was
done some bad spaces. Yeah, some real bad spaces. Now
I knew that, and she was and she was writing
(16:57):
about it, and it was coming through and the music.
Remember the NFL player Keena Turner? Do you play for

Almost positive? There was a Keena Turner who played with
the Niners? Yeah? Almost, pab Let me ask you this, Jonas,

(17:19):
Are I have an update on a name that sounds
similar to Tina Turner in the NFL Inside or Lead
to Laugh for the latest lea, Yeah that is Keena Turner,
former football executive, player, coach and broadcast Damn right, Hey,
Eddie Garcia, how about that dropping a little in nineteen
nineties football on him? Never heard? It's pretty good? No,
I got burnt. I'm old. I remember him for a
(17:41):
guy who payoffice teases now he's dropping a random name
that ron four times Super Bowl champion. Yeah, better believe it,
fab four rings. Uh. And let me tell you something, man,
this is this is how this has done. Rings Kings
much like Draft Kings, download the draft Kings app and
use code to rows to get a free shot at
millions of dollars up for grabs this week with your
(18:03):
first deposit minimum five dollar deposit required eligibility restriction to apply.
See DraftKings dot com for details. Brady, I don't listen.
I'm not trying to wind you up here. That's not
what I want to do. But I did notice that
Notre Dame got burned for the second time in a
couple of weeks. Yeah. This, Uh, Keaton Slovis um, you know,
(18:25):
most most recognizable because when the bum started fielding punts,
some people are referred to the bomb as Keaton homeless us.
But Keaton Slovis has picked pit over Notre Dame. I mean,
any explanation for this, h well, at least struck up
the course again. Struck up the course for because the question,
(18:48):
the question really comes down is what is love? I
gotta do with it? Yeah, and the reality is this
He's girlfriend. I believe goes the University of pit So
for whatever reason, there was this thought that maybe he
was gonna good notre Damn No, what does love have
to do with it everything? For Keenan Slova's he's he's
moving out to Pittsburgh, one of the great Midwest cities.
(19:10):
Can we call him Midwest city as we call him west, Yeah,
we call it people call him mid West City. Yeah,
but that's exactly That's exactly what love has to do
with it. Is He's going out there to be close
where his heart needs well hopefully isn't gonna be broken.
Pittsburgh is the Midwest. Some some people reference Pittsburgh as
a mid Okay, what's considered officially the Midwest cities at
(19:32):
Chicago it starts, it starts to Pittsburgh and moves and
moves west. Um, it just doesn't make sense to me.
I'm sorry. I mean, you gotta you gotta remember when
they used to call it that. That was like a
long long time ago, back when they were like they
saw the Rockies and they're like, nope, turning around like
(19:53):
this looks kind of like the Middle West to us.
You know, I think at the Chicago there are right
I mean, I guess Minneapolis kind of falls in there,
think that Texas would be the Midwest, but it's not.
Texas is the South, that's the south Southwest guy. That's
so it's like kind of I don't I don't get
all that. But they do reference Pittsburgh as the Midwest. Yeah.
(20:15):
I'm looking at a map of the United States right now.
This is uh, you know, show research here live on
the air, and I can assure you it is definitely
not the Midwest. I don't know what the hell you
guys are talking about. That's what they call it, man, Yeah,
now where I grow up, they don't. How about that
you think about that in the West. Yeah, it's a
good get though from streets in all reality, but it
(20:36):
goes to show you. I mean, Jordan Alison's coming back.
He was Alitic cough finalist. Um. Now, so this means
that he has to marry this gal, right, like they've
got to stay together because I don't know if he
has to mean, you know, the Notre Dame over I
mean that, you know, come on, no no offense to
pit but Notre Dame is a much better program than
(20:58):
pit Man. Yeah, I would I would say they've had
more successive late. Yes, because West Viat, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri.
What are you doing? Yeah, I'm just saying what which
states are considered to be midwest? Considered Midwest? So yeah, alright,
(21:18):
so the lighter, the lighter, the lighter ones is, like
the percentage is not a high percentage for like, uh, Wyoming, Colorado, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia. Mid mid West is Illinois, Indiana, Iowa. See,
I think Iowa's midwest and Pennsylvania is like four states
(21:38):
to the right. So I mean, I'm sorry, you know,
Like so if you're listening to this show right now,
just look at your radio dial. Imagine you know, a
couple of spots over to the right, and that's Pittsburgh.
A little radio play by play for you, Brady, we're
talking about they don't change the dial because I know
(22:00):
we say pop. That isn't that a mid Western We
say pop pop pop, I drink pop. I've I've not
said pop and many many many moons, I do you know.
I don't say soda. I say what what it is?
I want? I want to coke, I want a PEPSI
whatever it is. That's that's what I asked for. I
(22:20):
don't say, can I get a pop? Let's let me
drink a soda yesterday with tequila the first time I
tried it, because I usually do it with great fruit juice,
but we ain't had no great fruit and I was
there alone, so I just and it worked out for
me fair enough. Alright, what I mean, what what pop
(22:46):
or what soda would that go good with? Coke? Coke
in tequila? Yes, I'm telling you, fry coke dark dark liquor,
so dark tequila. I think that's a nahoe, Right, it's not.
Isn't that a nahoe aged? Yeah, it's a darker one right,
drop for you right there, Roberto. Let you know, go ahead,
(23:09):
I'm just saying I didn't ask you. I mean a
dark liquer, a naho. It's like, I mean, where does
it come from? Uh? Where's it come from? Alisco? I mean,
I mean, where are those those plants? What are the
plants called the eucalyptus plants or whatever? There you go,
you know what I'm talking about? Tequila? All right? There
(23:33):
you go. Damn right, that's not that's not me being
that way. I didn't know that it would go anyway.
It was really good. It was really good. In fact,
I mean, but good. You just drink it straight. Yeah,
I get that, but I'm not a drink it straight
type of guy. Don't judge me, easy, don't judge me.
(23:54):
He's got a shrink man squirt next time. I was
putting you up on a little bit of game. Squirt.
That is a big word. Soda soda squirt. Tequila that
is a big squirt ye like yellow. It's like it's
it's like a mountain dew or seven up, but not
(24:14):
something out of a porn set like squirk. Is it
great fruit? Yeah, it's great fruit. It's gross, is what
it is with great fruit? Yeah, I mean they've really
named a soda squirt. They did, and people actually get
the bottles and put them in their mouth and drink
them dobea squirt that is just some squirt. Oh man,
(24:37):
we need to transition about that. Cactus schooler. But you
can get cactus jack joints now. They're like hard hard
seltzers from Travis Travis Scott. Interesting, Come on, man, can
we talk sports. I'm trying anyway, get some dark tequila
and try it with some some Coca cola or PEPSI,
(24:57):
I guarantee you'd be like man LaVar was right, Um, alright,
So so it's all nice. So we think Keaton Slova's
nice little pick up following the Kenny Pickett erat pitt
Brady Quinn were good with that. I think Patton Ardozy
is gonna be excited about it. But they you know
that the wide receiver they had Allison, he's coming back. Um,
(25:18):
he's a hell of a player and they look they
like they air it out. So if you want to
go somewhere you can get the chance to kind of
showcase your skill set. Man, there it is there, it is. Uh.
Pit's a what a great town though, that is a
that is a fun town, fun football town. Um. You
know that's a fun town period. If you have money,
you know, because you can you can stay in the
touristy spots of Pittsburgh. I feel like if Jonas went there, though,
(25:41):
he's somehow stumble into tequila, Cowboy gets As kicked, Like,
that's just that's what I envisioned you a tequila that
that is because cowboy Todd and one of the great
stories broken down back in the day was Todd Haley,
the o c for the Pittsburgh Steelers who went on
New Year's Eve after the Steelers were in a game
(26:03):
and got ripped at the Tequila Cowboy and then got
shoved over by some patron who was hitting on his wife.
And then there was a report that Todd Haley broke
his hip, and then the Steelers tried to sweep it
under the ruggets to the whole it was bizarre. They
were just it's just it's a little while there, get
(26:24):
out of the way, Like Joey Porter had multiple run
ins at bars, Darrell Rivius on on Carson Street, the
hell out of some guy. It was like on video
Aaron Donald went back there. And especially if you're from there,
if you're from there, you you get it because cats
don't really be caring. Man. You gotta be careful. You know,
(26:47):
it gets cold out here and stay warm. That's why
I don't go out, man, I don't go out, especially
when I go home. I don't go out. Yeah, no way,
you know, And for them, not for me. That keeps
them safe because because you know, when the cracking comes out,
you don't want him to turn green. But I turn green.
This is just bad stuff happening, especially that uh squirt
(27:10):
in tequila, get after a little bit, all right, it
is by the way, by the way, squirt, speaking of
all that, it can happen easily. A few drinks become
a few too many, it's time to go, and you
think of calling for a ride home. Now, what's the
worst get happen? You get pulled over, you lose your license,
you told your car, you kill someone, drive sober, or
(27:30):
get pulled over? Paid for by NITSA. All right, So
we are going to give out to some midweek awards
here in the world of sports, like we do every
single week. But for all the latest from ladies and
jet we try a man who's been to Pittsburgh several times,
a man who knows the area I'm taking. I'm taking
(27:51):
Eddie to the Bird Edmund. I have not checked out
the pit campus though, that we're going. We're going to campus.
It's a nice we're going to go. I've seen duquese Um.
It's the same thing, bro No, Ducane and pitt it's
the same thing. What do you mean It's pretty similar
to say they're the same area. One is just a
(28:12):
little further down close. And I'm just saying I haven't
been a pit. But I've been I liked their campuses.
I'm just saying, if you knew about Pittsburgh, you know
that that Oakland and you know Ducane and pitt or insane.
I was, I was on Carson. You could literally walk
from Duquesne to pitt Thank you. Eddie's two pros and
a cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. To
hang on Mount Washington, Eddie, to look over the city.
(28:33):
But put a bow on this pit man. Who hasn't.
I mean, come on, we'll take the incline, you know
what I mean. Go walk around, go hit the point.
You know, you know we'll go hit the north Shore, Eddie.
You know what i mean. Ain't out walking around? Do
you guys want? I'm gonna be a fathead saloon on
Carson Street, right next to Mario's, just hanging out, just
(28:54):
doing my thing about you guys. We're gonna go to
Monticello's Restaurant on on McKnight Road. By the way, did
to put up on Babcock now? Actually we're gonna go
to Babcock. Just look at Google Maps right now and stuff. No, no, no,
I'm not looking at any maps right now because that's
where I'm from you know, I definitely know that's I'm
not looking at any time. I mean listen, you know
(29:15):
about twenty minutes away, you know, uh, jump on to
seventy nine, so we could get out to where where
was that Jonas? So we could take to seventy nine
out to warm you're taking the golf course. I'll listen
to all. You know, we just you know, we ran
the different crowds man, you know as we go out
to Meroeville or out to to you know, mccanalists. By
the way, Arnie span your Fox Sports radio host, decided
(29:37):
to chime in with this worthless fact. Uh, the fish
that save Pittsburgh best. Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, it's
the fish that's say whoa who Already go shovel snow, dude,
the fish to say pitch. You know who was you
know who the main character was that Dr J all right?
(29:58):
The things? You know? You know one of the most
famous basketball players from Pittsburgh, Connie Hawkins. Yeah, they call
him the Hawk. That's the truth. Okay, well, I don't know,
I just made it up. You didn't know that they
called him to Hawk? Yeah, I know, listen, I've you
know still reveling in my keya turner knowledge um, which,
(30:18):
by the way, uh I don't leave that out. Okay,
So let's be honest here, Brady, how much Bowl action
if you watched so far? Because I haven't watched a
lick of Bowl games. I'm watching just a tiny, tiny bit,
but I have not dove into it because the NFL
hijacked Bowl season early on. I mean, no, no, that's
not come on, no, it's not. I'm actually watching only
(30:40):
because a lot of times people ask for betting or
gambling advice on this, and I tell them, if you're
betting on Bowl games, you've got a problem. Talk why
because you've got constantly there are players out like and
sometimes you don't hear about it until the day of
the game or before. Or you've got teams playing with him,
head coaches or coaches who aren't gonna be the guy
(31:02):
next year, or like Clemson for example, this year. You know,
I have either the coordinators Brent Venables, what's Oklahoma Tony
ellis going to Virginia that they hired from within to
elevate up. So like, the whole situation is just between
the transfer portal guys opting out for the NFL and
then coaching staff changes. It's a crapshoot, like you really
don't know what to expect or what's gonna happen from
(31:26):
bowl game to bowl game. And so you could get burt.
I did not foresee um, San Diego State taking care
of UTSA the way they did last night. Team, by
the way, give him credit. They had a great season.
They really really did. I mean, outside of getting absolutely
man handled in the Mountain West Championship game by Utah State,
(31:48):
they had a great season. Um, so what is worse
betting on preseason NFL games are betting on bowl games?
I mean, I'll be honest, they're pretty much the equivalent.
I think. I think i'd say bowl games because preseason
you at least you at least you have got like
a stable coach. The guys are trying to make the tea.
Yeah yeah, well but the coach is still there, like
(32:10):
you don't have to worry about some guys never called
plays before. Yeah it is, uh now I think about it. Yeah,
probably what you just said. I have not been on
one bowl game yet, not one I will you're planning, Hey,
it just so happens. We have one today if I'm
(32:31):
not mistaken. All right, we got one every day Armed
Forces Bowl. Baby, that's right, Mazoo taking on Army. Yeah,
eight pm. I'm not gonna stay on what channel, but
it's a contrasting style of games and it should be interesting.
Army is going to beat the brakes off of them.
They are favored by six and a half points. They're
(32:51):
gonna beat them up. Serious And do you think do
you think Army is gonna win by more than six
and a half of our yes? Big, like like a
spread like that for Army, it's kind of a big spread.
Huge because they play the flexbone like, they don't run
as much triple options. People think it's more design runs,
but they have window dressed to make it look like
(33:12):
it's an option. But like, and by the way, they
didn't just lose the Navy, so don't forget about that.
They're going to beat them, tend to. And also if
if Army gets down in a game by like a touchdown,
they're done. Yeah, that's that's such what happened most Yeah,
they couldn't really throw the way back into it. Yeah,
so that would be uh so yeah again, but according
to LaVar Arrington, rom you know stick sports book. I
(33:36):
do like his thought under there. I think the under
is the safe play any time. Anytime you've got an
option team, um like this with Army, they got great
ball control. I mean they really can control that ball. Yeah,
it's good an expert atnalysis there. You can control the
points if you're able to control the ball. That's right.
(33:57):
I hear you. Army. You know they protect and they
served the ball. They sure do, they sure do well.
By the way, do you think it's okay to drive stone?
The truth is your reaction time slow way down. When
you're high, you not only put yourself in danger, but
everyone around you. Stop kidding yourself. If you've been using
marijuana in any form, do not get behind the wheel.
If you feel different, you're gonna drive different. Drive high.
(34:19):
Get a d U I paid for by NITZA. Up
next Midweek Awards, We're gonna hand out some awards. One
of them is good, one of them is bad, the
other's ugly, and they're yours right here on fs are
be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LaVar Arrington and
Jonas Knocks week days at six am Eastern, three am Pacific. Hey,
(34:44):
I'm Doug gottlie The podcast is called All Ball. We
usually talk all basketball all the time, but it's more
about the stories about what made these people love their
sport and all the interesting interactions along the way. We
talked to coaches, we talked to players, We tell you stories.
You downloaded, you listen to it. I think you like it.
(35:04):
Listen to All Ball with Doug gottlieb on the I
Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast orherever you get your podcast.
Oh ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, two pros and
(35:31):
a cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Brady Quinn
the air on or he did look like Tyrono. Some
guy just laid out in the street. Um, by the way,
it was there a uh is this the police chase
that we're that they're referring to their lead to lap
I was so excited about a police chase and went
by the studio this morning. He couldn't contain himself. Um,
(35:54):
did we ever get details on that police chase? Lee? No, No,
no footage of it on there were shoppers and then
the whole nine. That's a bummer. You know, every week
there's a police chase, you know, just waiting for one
by our studio. It's not this fire truck speed chase.
That had have been great. Yeah, that would have been
a lot of fun. All right. By the way, coming
up top of next hour, the race is closing and
(36:17):
we could have a surprise in the NFL that's gonna
piss off a lot of members of the media. We
will get to that here on top of next hour,
about ten minutes from now. It can happen easily. A
few drinks become a few too many, it's time to go,
and you think of calling for a ride home. Now,
what's the worst thing gonna happen? You get pulled over,
you lose your license, you told her your car, you
kill someone, drive sober and get pulled over. Paid for
(36:38):
by NITZA. Right now, it's time for this. There are
some good things that happen, and there's some bad and
then there's some downright ugly things. It's time for good
bad and all right, lead Lap, you're steering the ship here, ship,
I said with a p what the what? What responsibility? Creek?
(37:02):
As we do every week film, as we started with
the good news of the week, and Brady's got the
honor this week. Well, this one was easy for me,
all right. There's some guys who take that name image
and like this money, the n i L money, and
they splurge, maybe they invest, maybe they save. And there's
others who do incredible gestures like Tyler Lindenbaum, the center
(37:22):
for Iowa who's going to be a first round pick
in this upcoming year's draft. He donated thirty thousand dollars
of his n i L money to the Iowa Stead
Family Children's Hospital, an incredible gesture, one of the many examples.
There's other players who have done stuff like this, but
he should be commended for doing this sort of thing,
(37:43):
especially around the holiday season. That's awesome. That's pretty dope, LaVar.
Won't you let us know what was bad this week? Well,
I gotta say Anthony Davis. It's bad. He said he
heard something pop when the Minnesota Timberwold Jaden McDaniels crashed
into his left knee on Friday. And although we're in
the next week, the following week of it, the fallout
(38:07):
of the injury to Anthony Davis has been traumatic, to
say the least. It's can we do it without Anthony Davis?
It's time to part ways with Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis
has to play better. He's been under constant attack and
constant fire. Things are bad right now for Anthony. By
(38:27):
the way, Charles Barkley gave him the nickname street Closed
because he's always in Street Close. And I think he's
gonna miss one four weeks. I think that was the diagnosis.
He's gonna miss the next four weeks. It's just like
how many times before you look at it and go
all right, man, this ain't it. It's not working. It's
just not doesn't makes sense, kind of bad. It's gotten bad. Yeah,
(38:48):
I agree, alright, alright, Jonas, let us know what was ugly? Well,
what was ugly is apparently it did record numbers according
to ESPN, But anybody happened to take a gander at
who the Minnesota Ikes played a couple of nights ago
on Monday Night Football. That's right, the Bear, the diaper
fire of the NFL, the Chicago Bears, who all their flaws, inadequacies,
(39:10):
and disastrous tendencies were on display and just the product
of what has been built up for years upon years
with that organization. It starts at the top. It goes
to the general manager, Ryan Pace, who to give him credit. Though, Brady,
what does Ryan Pace haveous head of hair? He does,
he has a tremendous head of hair. Uh, and he
(39:31):
won't have to worry about that hair being you know,
damaged by the win in Chicago very much longer because
they'll be out soon. Matt and Aggie will be out soon. Uh.
There they are a full blown disaster and a disgrace
to that city, that great fan base. Are you done
because this is not just a ugly this faulting situation.
(39:52):
Ugly this week was to Ron Williams. It was look
my category power, stop much respect or getting in the ring,
just saying it made us football players like so it looked,
it looked bad. You know, diaper valleys, diaper fires. That's
ugly too. You know it's I can smell it every time. Yeah,
(40:13):
it's nasty, ugly. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports

desperate times call for desperate measures, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you have to sometimes you gotta make the call. Uh
help the bullpen phone is working there? Um, all right,
(01:24):
So we talked about No, he's fine. I listen, he's
he's all good man rock baby, Uh yeah, just get Yeah.
So we talked about the L A. Rams getting a
(01:45):
win over Seattle last night. We talked about Philly getting
a win over Washington and people trying to trying to
separate themselves in the NFC. And then you got the
Tampay Buccaneers. So all of a sudden, I have now
got some problems on their hands. And we mentioned the
Chris Godwin injury. He's done for the year. Leonard Fournett
is gonna miss time, most likely the rest of the
(02:07):
regular season, but potential to be back for the postseason. Obviously,
Mike Evans was banged up. Now they've signed David Yeah,
now they've signed Levian Bell. That was a quick box whoa, whoa.
It wasn't he trying to box? What happened? Yeah, he
was looking for work. Hey, but you do know him
and a B reunited again? What could go wrong? And
(02:28):
it feels so good. Hot take, hot take. I actually
think behind that offensive line he could do all right.
I'm just I'm just saying to you right now, I
actually think, like the reunion between him and be A
and that offensive lot, as good as they are, he
could do all right behind that. I'm I must call
that right now. Historically speaking, hot take might have been
(02:51):
hot box with those guys. Yeah, yeah, where where is
was it Blunt? Garrett Blunt? Wasn't it a A B two? Yeah,
we're walking the green Wolf in their in their transam. Um,
So you think this is boxing? This is the boxing
(03:15):
best offensive line Laby on Bell's hat since his early
years in Pittsburgh, since Pittsburgh. Yeah, I think I think
it's fair to say. And that's why I'm like, this
can actually kind of work. Like I'm just saying, no,
he's not. But I'm just I'm telling you he didn't
have to be the same for a season. Now, he
only has to be the same for the next few
weeks into the playoffs and then he's probably you know,
(03:37):
sharing carries or he's not gonna be there. So I
think it could work. I really do. I think you know,
he you know, he's been out for a while now,
trying to box or whatever the hell was going on,
shoot himself up with whatever he needs to go show
out for a few weeks. You know, wow, I mean Jesus,
we're encouraging that here on the air. But you know that,
you know how many times he'll get drug tested, given
(04:00):
his age and the fact that he was out, he
will get drug tested every day. They will be a
drug test inspector literally sitting at his locker waiting for
him to get undressed and just say, hey, you got
your pants off, let's just go into the urnal now. No.
I mean, they'll just trying to make a Yeah, that's
what I'm saying that I thought were random. You could
(04:23):
go ask Dr Lombardo like when you when you come
back in the NFL and you fall into that category
of being around thirty and then being on the fringe, Like,
that's the guys they test the most. So instead of
the guys who are playing at like a pro Bowl level,
they'll test the guys who were like on the fringe
of rosters the most. It doesn't make much sense to
(04:46):
me that dude out there looks like Superman, but you're
gonna test this dude. He was just on the street.
Can we never? Can we go? Can we stay there
for a minute. There are some of the craziest stories
connected to you know, random steak. Can I give you
one right now? That Ken Dorsey? Alright, Ken Dorsey? Who
(05:07):
he was? Dorsey? He was with us in Cleveland and down.
I want to say it was my first year there,
and maybe it was a second year. I can't remember which,
but he was around the age at thirty at that point,
and he had gotten drug tested like three weeks straight
and maybe a couple of times each of those weeks.
(05:29):
And finally he just went off on the on this
drug tested guy. He's like, are you kidding me? He's like,
look at me. He's like, I hate the weight room.
He's like, you think I'm taking something? Like he just
it was one of those all time epic rants. And
to his point, like he made the baggy sleeves long sleeves,
mind you, not even T shirt like baggy long sleeves.
He made it. He made He took that thing with
(05:50):
some swagged out at to you, like he brought that
to the NFL. I'm like, dude, if you wear baggy
sleeves like you're not taking performance and ancers Like, I'm sorry, Like,
I just those two things don't go together. They don't correlate.
You don't wear baggy sleeves and then all of a
sudden on the side, you're taking some sort of performance
enhancing drug. It just doesn't work. It was the other guy.
Sam Bradford was the other guy who wore baggy sleeves, right.
(06:10):
I don't think anybody else has done it since. One
story that I'll give had nothing to do with performance enhancing.
He had everything to do with chilling out while you're
chilling on the chill chill chilling out right, yeah, left
handed chill out. Yeah. So everybody had their theories on
(06:33):
how on how to beat the test. And one homie, homie,
he had a long he had a long ass peinky uh,
pinky nail and I'm like, he just always ask like,
why is your pinky nails so long? Right? So the
dude used to put dip his finger and clorox breach
(06:55):
every single time he going into the locker room. I'll
be like, is this dude doing And it comes to
find out he would do it because if he got
randomly tested, he would hit his finger because I guess
say off the figure God. So basically he was trying
(07:17):
to throw off the pH the pH of his what
he had going on. So so ironically enough, maybe there
was like I don't know the whole changing of like
Lattimer might have messed it up from the program for everybody,
but whatever it is that was happening, people were beating
the test. It's like the tests were coming back inconclusive,
(07:40):
like it wasn't saying positive, but it wasn't saying negative either, right,
so they started making radio I mean, you came after me,
but they started making you pull your pets out around
her knees. Oh yeah, in front of him. It wasn't
like that at first. It's like you said, they's a
right outside the stall. You're going to stall. You do
(08:02):
what you need to do is cool? Man, day have
you your pads? Are you're short to be around your knees?
Man like this? Like, why why are you a grown
man standing there looking at me? Like hunt, I already
told you before. Like there are certain places where like
guys had that drug testing guy unlocked, like you'd see
(08:24):
him at the club, Like wait, what what do I
know this dude? You're like, oh, yeah, and you're like, wait,
he said, the table getting bottles like this happening right now,
like this dude, this dude was litterally getting bottle service
at clubs. And I'm like, well, hold on, now, I
don't I mean, oh, I get it. I get it.
(08:44):
That's that's part of the person. It sounds like a
bad job until it's not what you actually think about
some of the stuff that happened under the table. Take
him wine and dine them a little bit, and then
all of a sudden you get a heads up. Well
then all of a sudden, you know, now you're not
necessarily test at the facility. Know, maybe it's getting picked
up at your front doorstep. Did you hear this? You
know John Jones, the UFC fire, did you did you
(09:07):
hear the story when he tried to skip a random test.
Guy shows up to the gym in Albuquerque to give
him a random test, and he had either been you know,
smoking weed or whatever whatever he'd been doing, and he
hid under the cage in the gym and the guy said, well,
you know, we're supposed to get this done, so I'll
just hang out here, and he was there for hours.
(09:28):
Jones hit under the cage entire time. He went to
the bathroom under there. He did everything to avoid this
random test. Finally the guy left and they had to
mop and clean up. He was gonna pop, he was
gonna he was gonna get out of tested. That's one
of the most uncomfortable situations. Like it's one thing when
you for whatever reason, like I could differentiate my mind,
(09:51):
like when you go to work you have to get
drug tests, you're like, oh, that's part of the job.
When they come to your house, then it feels like
an invasion of your price and they're like, all right,
you're in my damn bathroom looking at me naked. It's
like there's like a line needs to be drawn at
some point. I just felt uncomfortable. I've never had anyone
show up to my crib, but I'm just saying that
(10:13):
is I'll tell you the worst is when you've you've
messed up and and you get that, you get it
like it's like, yeah, you're home for the weekend, like
you hanging with the homies, Like yeah, pass it, I
tell him puff. And then that Monday they're like, yeah,
you gotta come in and said come in, like no, well,
(10:37):
what's the idea at the combine, there's been guys that
have got I want to see who is it? Then
you got to be the most ignorant duit ever. But
I think to Pop, I think what guys were doing, right, Brady,
they were drinking a bunch of water today and that
would be inconclusive. But at the combine you're not getting
around it. You're not getting around it like they will
(10:58):
make you test. That was like that so well, but
let's just go back to what was it two years
ago with Chase Claypool. Like I remember talking to him beforehand,
and he he ended up wighing in at like two
thirty eight to forty whatever it was. It was heavy,
like he only plays like and so I remember I
(11:19):
sat down with him, like, dude, what happened? He goes, Man,
I was so nervous about gaining dehydrated because all everyone
said out here was like the way it works is
it's like long days and it's hurry up and wait,
and and you're going to one drill and then and
you and you're asked to do something like a really
high speed and you're not doing anything for a while,
and you're asked to do it again. He's like, and
sometimes it's so long, like guys get cramps. He's like, you,
(11:40):
you don't want to get that. He's especially because I
know him a test. Well, I'm like, so when you
drink a bunch of water, He's like yeah, he's like,
now everyone thinks I want to play tight end and like,
so the only reason was just he was scared about
like the cramping and all that because he was so
amped up to test that. Then people started saying like, oh,
maybe he could play like a flex tight end position
and he's like, no, no, Like I was just trying
(12:00):
to drink water so I'd be hydrated from the flight
because I forget where he was training, but it was
a long flight in into Indiapolis. Oh he was training
out here in cal You know. The funny thing about
that is is that guys, like first off, at the
at the combine, you literally have to get up out
of your sleep. You are not allowed to go to
(12:21):
the restroom. Your test is immediately out of your sleep,
like go go put it in the in the cup. Right.
But again, if you are heading into the combine and
you would actually have something in your system other than
what needs to be there, you have done the Lord's work,
(12:44):
the Lord's will for yourself and for anybody who was
going to employ you. You know what I'm saying. You
have done the lord priorities. You know, you gotta gotta
chase the dragon. Sometimes. Have you ever heard of somebody
popping positive for for a drug of some sort at Combine?
You've done the Lord's will. It's it's it's it was
meant to be for you, not to make it into
(13:06):
the league. Just and I can have no I can
have no sympathies. I can have no no, no feelings
of remorse empathy. If you pop for a drug at
that space, in that place in time, you got everything
you deceive. But if they had a poppy seed bagel
or a poppy seed that that pop high school for that, Yeah,
(13:31):
that's a true thing. That is a real but noting. No,
no poppy seeds, no nothing, nothing that can make me
pop for anything out of combine. And I've been working
since i was eight years old. I drew that picture
and said, mom, I'm a value of house. One day
it says eight years old, and I'm now here at
(13:53):
the combine. There ain't a poppy seed that exists in
the world. That's going down his mouth. Whatever it is,
they ain't going in my mouth. I ain't swallowing at all.
Careful with that, poppy said, Yeah, I ain't messing with it.
You know you ain't going ahead of me popping. Yeah,
oh boy, that is that is just ripe withdraw Right
(14:16):
there at the door step, Roberto, I'm knocking at the door. Bill,
be caring that poppy seed. You know what I mean.
I gotta be careful what you're trying to say. I'm
just saying the type of an inside joke, nothing at all. Nothing.
By the way, it can happen easily. A few drinks
(14:37):
become a few too many, it's time to go, and
you think of calling for right at home. Now, what's
the worst that can happen? You get pulled over, you
lose your license, you told your car, you kill someone,
drive sober, or get pulled over paid for by nits.
All right, So coming up next, somebody on this show
got burned. They got shaft because they were told no,
they were denied. And this is a second time this
(15:00):
has happened over the past couple of weeks. We're gonna
get into all that for you next year on FS

(16:35):
she trying to say in this? Oh there's a lot
that goes with Teena Turner singing. You know That's what
I was thinking that. Yeah, there's a lot behind this.
She went through a whole lot like no, I know
that this song. I'm trying to tell you she was
done some bad spaces. Yeah, some real bad spaces. Now
I knew that, and she was and she was writing
(16:57):
about it, and it was coming through and the music.
Remember the NFL player Keena Turner? Do you play for
the Niners? Never heard of him? Heard him? Can we
get a fact check on that? From Lead to Lab
Almost positive? There was a Keena Turner who played with
the Niners? Yeah? Almost, pab Let me ask you this, Jonas,
did someone get burned? Yeah? They did? But live too?
(17:19):
Are I have an update on a name that sounds
similar to Tina Turner in the NFL Inside or Lead
to Laugh for the latest lea, Yeah that is Keena Turner,
former football executive, player, coach and broadcast Damn right, Hey,
Eddie Garcia, how about that dropping a little in nineteen
nineties football on him? Never heard? It's pretty good? No,
I got burnt. I'm old. I remember him for a
(17:41):
guy who payoffice teases now he's dropping a random name
that ron four times Super Bowl champion. Yeah, better believe it,
fab four rings. Uh. And let me tell you something, man,
this is this is how this has done. Rings Kings
much like Draft Kings, download the draft Kings app and
use code to rows to get a free shot at
millions of dollars up for grabs this week with your
(18:03):
first deposit minimum five dollar deposit required eligibility restriction to apply.
See DraftKings dot com for details. Brady, I don't listen.
I'm not trying to wind you up here. That's not
what I want to do. But I did notice that
Notre Dame got burned for the second time in a
couple of weeks. Yeah. This, Uh, Keaton Slovis um, you know,
(18:25):
most most recognizable because when the bum started fielding punts,
some people are referred to the bomb as Keaton homeless us.
But Keaton Slovis has picked pit over Notre Dame. I mean,
any explanation for this, h well, at least struck up
the course again. Struck up the course for because the question,
(18:48):
the question really comes down is what is love? I
gotta do with it? Yeah, and the reality is this
He's girlfriend. I believe goes the University of pit So
for whatever reason, there was this thought that maybe he
was gonna good notre Damn No, what does love have
to do with it everything? For Keenan Slova's he's he's
moving out to Pittsburgh, one of the great Midwest cities.
(19:10):
Can we call him Midwest city as we call him west, Yeah,
we call it people call him mid West City. Yeah,
but that's exactly That's exactly what love has to do
with it. Is He's going out there to be close
where his heart needs well hopefully isn't gonna be broken.
Pittsburgh is the Midwest. Some some people reference Pittsburgh as
a mid Okay, what's considered officially the Midwest cities at
(19:32):
Chicago it starts, it starts to Pittsburgh and moves and
moves west. Um, it just doesn't make sense to me.
I'm sorry. I mean, you gotta you gotta remember when
they used to call it that. That was like a
long long time ago, back when they were like they
saw the Rockies and they're like, nope, turning around like
(19:53):
this looks kind of like the Middle West to us.
You know, I think at the Chicago there are right
I mean, I guess Minneapolis kind of falls in there,
think that Texas would be the Midwest, but it's not.
Texas is the South, that's the south Southwest guy. That's
so it's like kind of I don't I don't get
all that. But they do reference Pittsburgh as the Midwest. Yeah.
(20:15):
I'm looking at a map of the United States right now.
This is uh, you know, show research here live on
the air, and I can assure you it is definitely
not the Midwest. I don't know what the hell you
guys are talking about. That's what they call it, man, Yeah,
now where I grow up, they don't. How about that
you think about that in the West. Yeah, it's a
good get though from streets in all reality, but it
(20:36):
goes to show you. I mean, Jordan Alison's coming back.
He was Alitic cough finalist. Um. Now, so this means
that he has to marry this gal, right, like they've
got to stay together because I don't know if he
has to mean, you know, the Notre Dame over I
mean that, you know, come on, no no offense to
pit but Notre Dame is a much better program than
(20:58):
pit Man. Yeah, I would I would say they've had
more successive late. Yes, because West Viat, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri.
What are you doing? Yeah, I'm just saying what which
states are considered to be midwest? Considered Midwest? So yeah, alright,
(21:18):
so the lighter, the lighter, the lighter ones is, like
the percentage is not a high percentage for like, uh, Wyoming, Colorado, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia. Mid mid West is Illinois, Indiana, Iowa. See,
I think Iowa's midwest and Pennsylvania is like four states
(21:38):
to the right. So I mean, I'm sorry, you know,
Like so if you're listening to this show right now,
just look at your radio dial. Imagine you know, a
couple of spots over to the right, and that's Pittsburgh.
A little radio play by play for you, Brady, we're
talking about they don't change the dial because I know
(22:00):
we say pop. That isn't that a mid Western We
say pop pop pop, I drink pop. I've I've not
said pop and many many many moons, I do you know.
I don't say soda. I say what what it is?
I want? I want to coke, I want a PEPSI
whatever it is. That's that's what I asked for. I
(22:20):
don't say, can I get a pop? Let's let me
drink a soda yesterday with tequila the first time I
tried it, because I usually do it with great fruit juice,
but we ain't had no great fruit and I was
there alone, so I just and it worked out for
me fair enough. Alright, what I mean, what what pop
(22:46):
or what soda would that go good with? Coke? Coke
in tequila? Yes, I'm telling you, fry coke dark dark liquor,
so dark tequila. I think that's a nahoe, Right, it's not.
Isn't that a nahoe aged? Yeah, it's a darker one right,
drop for you right there, Roberto. Let you know, go ahead,
(23:09):
I'm just saying I didn't ask you. I mean a
dark liquer, a naho. It's like, I mean, where does
it come from? Uh? Where's it come from? Alisco? I mean,
I mean, where are those those plants? What are the
plants called the eucalyptus plants or whatever? There you go,
you know what I'm talking about? Tequila? All right? There
(23:33):
you go. Damn right, that's not that's not me being
that way. I didn't know that it would go anyway.
It was really good. It was really good. In fact,
I mean, but good. You just drink it straight. Yeah,
I get that, but I'm not a drink it straight
type of guy. Don't judge me, easy, don't judge me.
(23:54):
He's got a shrink man squirt next time. I was
putting you up on a little bit of game. Squirt.
That is a big word. Soda soda squirt. Tequila that
is a big squirt ye like yellow. It's like it's
it's like a mountain dew or seven up, but not
(24:14):
something out of a porn set like squirk. Is it
great fruit? Yeah, it's great fruit. It's gross, is what
it is with great fruit? Yeah, I mean they've really
named a soda squirt. They did, and people actually get
the bottles and put them in their mouth and drink
them dobea squirt that is just some squirt. Oh man,
(24:37):
we need to transition about that. Cactus schooler. But you
can get cactus jack joints now. They're like hard hard
seltzers from Travis Travis Scott. Interesting, Come on, man, can
we talk sports. I'm trying anyway, get some dark tequila
and try it with some some Coca cola or PEPSI,
(24:57):
I guarantee you'd be like man LaVar was right, Um, alright,
So so it's all nice. So we think Keaton Slova's
nice little pick up following the Kenny Pickett erat pitt
Brady Quinn were good with that. I think Patton Ardozy
is gonna be excited about it. But they you know
that the wide receiver they had Allison, he's coming back. Um,
(25:18):
he's a hell of a player and they look they
like they air it out. So if you want to
go somewhere you can get the chance to kind of
showcase your skill set. Man, there it is there, it is. Uh.
Pit's a what a great town though, that is a
that is a fun town, fun football town. Um. You
know that's a fun town period. If you have money,
you know, because you can you can stay in the
touristy spots of Pittsburgh. I feel like if Jonas went there, though,
(25:41):
he's somehow stumble into tequila, Cowboy gets As kicked, Like,
that's just that's what I envisioned you a tequila that
that is because cowboy Todd and one of the great
stories broken down back in the day was Todd Haley,
the o c for the Pittsburgh Steelers who went on
New Year's Eve after the Steelers were in a game
(26:03):
and got ripped at the Tequila Cowboy and then got
shoved over by some patron who was hitting on his wife.
And then there was a report that Todd Haley broke
his hip, and then the Steelers tried to sweep it
under the ruggets to the whole it was bizarre. They
were just it's just it's a little while there, get
(26:24):
out of the way, Like Joey Porter had multiple run
ins at bars, Darrell Rivius on on Carson Street, the
hell out of some guy. It was like on video
Aaron Donald went back there. And especially if you're from there,
if you're from there, you you get it because cats
don't really be caring. Man. You gotta be careful. You know,
(26:47):
it gets cold out here and stay warm. That's why
I don't go out, man, I don't go out, especially
when I go home. I don't go out. Yeah, no way,
you know, And for them, not for me. That keeps
them safe because because you know, when the cracking comes out,
you don't want him to turn green. But I turn green.
This is just bad stuff happening, especially that uh squirt
(27:10):
in tequila, get after a little bit, all right, it
is by the way, by the way, squirt, speaking of
all that, it can happen easily. A few drinks become
a few too many, it's time to go, and you
think of calling for a ride home. Now, what's the
worst get happen? You get pulled over, you lose your license,
you told your car, you kill someone, drive sober, or
(27:30):
get pulled over? Paid for by NITSA. All right, So
we are going to give out to some midweek awards
here in the world of sports, like we do every
single week. But for all the latest from ladies and
jet we try a man who's been to Pittsburgh several times,
a man who knows the area I'm taking. I'm taking
(27:51):
Eddie to the Bird Edmund. I have not checked out
the pit campus though, that we're going. We're going to campus.
It's a nice we're going to go. I've seen duquese Um.
It's the same thing, bro No, Ducane and pitt it's
the same thing. What do you mean It's pretty similar
to say they're the same area. One is just a
(28:12):
little further down close. And I'm just saying I haven't
been a pit. But I've been I liked their campuses.
I'm just saying, if you knew about Pittsburgh, you know
that that Oakland and you know Ducane and pitt or insane.
I was, I was on Carson. You could literally walk
from Duquesne to pitt Thank you. Eddie's two pros and
a cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. To
hang on Mount Washington, Eddie, to look over the city.
(28:33):
But put a bow on this pit man. Who hasn't.
I mean, come on, we'll take the incline, you know
what I mean. Go walk around, go hit the point.
You know, you know we'll go hit the north Shore, Eddie.
You know what i mean. Ain't out walking around? Do
you guys want? I'm gonna be a fathead saloon on
Carson Street, right next to Mario's, just hanging out, just
(28:54):
doing my thing about you guys. We're gonna go to
Monticello's Restaurant on on McKnight Road. By the way, did
to put up on Babcock now? Actually we're gonna go
to Babcock. Just look at Google Maps right now and stuff. No, no, no,
I'm not looking at any maps right now because that's
where I'm from you know, I definitely know that's I'm
not looking at any time. I mean listen, you know
(29:15):
about twenty minutes away, you know, uh, jump on to
seventy nine, so we could get out to where where
was that Jonas? So we could take to seventy nine
out to warm you're taking the golf course. I'll listen
to all. You know, we just you know, we ran
the different crowds man, you know as we go out
to Meroeville or out to to you know, mccanalists. By
the way, Arnie span your Fox Sports radio host, decided
(29:37):
to chime in with this worthless fact. Uh, the fish
that save Pittsburgh best. Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, it's
the fish that's say whoa who Already go shovel snow, dude,
the fish to say pitch. You know who was you
know who the main character was that Dr J all right?
(29:58):
The things? You know? You know one of the most
famous basketball players from Pittsburgh, Connie Hawkins. Yeah, they call
him the Hawk. That's the truth. Okay, well, I don't know,
I just made it up. You didn't know that they
called him to Hawk? Yeah, I know, listen, I've you
know still reveling in my keya turner knowledge um, which,
(30:18):
by the way, uh I don't leave that out. Okay,
So let's be honest here, Brady, how much Bowl action
if you watched so far? Because I haven't watched a
lick of Bowl games. I'm watching just a tiny, tiny bit,
but I have not dove into it because the NFL
hijacked Bowl season early on. I mean, no, no, that's
not come on, no, it's not. I'm actually watching only
(30:40):
because a lot of times people ask for betting or
gambling advice on this, and I tell them, if you're
betting on Bowl games, you've got a problem. Talk why
because you've got constantly there are players out like and
sometimes you don't hear about it until the day of
the game or before. Or you've got teams playing with him,
head coaches or coaches who aren't gonna be the guy
(31:02):
next year, or like Clemson for example, this year. You know,
I have either the coordinators Brent Venables, what's Oklahoma Tony
ellis going to Virginia that they hired from within to
elevate up. So like, the whole situation is just between
the transfer portal guys opting out for the NFL and
then coaching staff changes. It's a crapshoot, like you really
don't know what to expect or what's gonna happen from
(31:26):
bowl game to bowl game. And so you could get burt.
I did not foresee um, San Diego State taking care
of UTSA the way they did last night. Team, by
the way, give him credit. They had a great season.
They really really did. I mean, outside of getting absolutely
man handled in the Mountain West Championship game by Utah State,
(31:48):
they had a great season. Um, so what is worse
betting on preseason NFL games are betting on bowl games?
I mean, I'll be honest, they're pretty much the equivalent.
I think. I think i'd say bowl games because preseason
you at least you at least you have got like
a stable coach. The guys are trying to make the tea.
Yeah yeah, well but the coach is still there, like
(32:10):
you don't have to worry about some guys never called
plays before. Yeah it is, uh now I think about it. Yeah,
probably what you just said. I have not been on
one bowl game yet, not one I will you're planning, Hey,
it just so happens. We have one today if I'm
(32:31):
not mistaken. All right, we got one every day Armed
Forces Bowl. Baby, that's right, Mazoo taking on Army. Yeah,
eight pm. I'm not gonna stay on what channel, but
it's a contrasting style of games and it should be interesting.
Army is going to beat the brakes off of them.
They are favored by six and a half points. They're
(32:51):
gonna beat them up. Serious And do you think do
you think Army is gonna win by more than six
and a half of our yes? Big, like like a
spread like that for Army, it's kind of a big spread.
Huge because they play the flexbone like, they don't run
as much triple options. People think it's more design runs,
but they have window dressed to make it look like
(33:12):
it's an option. But like, and by the way, they
didn't just lose the Navy, so don't forget about that.
They're going to beat them, tend to. And also if
if Army gets down in a game by like a touchdown,
they're done. Yeah, that's that's such what happened most Yeah,
they couldn't really throw the way back into it. Yeah,
so that would be uh so yeah again, but according
to LaVar Arrington, rom you know stick sports book. I
(33:36):
do like his thought under there. I think the under
is the safe play any time. Anytime you've got an
option team, um like this with Army, they got great
ball control. I mean they really can control that ball. Yeah,
it's good an expert atnalysis there. You can control the
points if you're able to control the ball. That's right.
(33:57):
I hear you. Army. You know they protect and they
served the ball. They sure do, they sure do well.
By the way, do you think it's okay to drive stone?
The truth is your reaction time slow way down. When
you're high, you not only put yourself in danger, but
everyone around you. Stop kidding yourself. If you've been using
marijuana in any form, do not get behind the wheel.
If you feel different, you're gonna drive different. Drive high.
(34:19):
Get a d U I paid for by NITZA. Up
next Midweek Awards, We're gonna hand out some awards. One
of them is good, one of them is bad, the
other's ugly, and they're yours right here on fs are
be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LaVar Arrington and
Jonas Knocks week days at six am Eastern, three am Pacific. Hey,
(34:44):
I'm Doug gottlie The podcast is called All Ball. We

about the stories about what made these people love their
sport and all the interesting interactions along the way. We

You downloaded, you listen to it. I think you like it.
(35:04):
Listen to All Ball with Doug gottlieb on the I
Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast orherever you get your podcast.
Oh ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, two pros and
(35:31):
a cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Brady Quinn
the air on or he did look like Tyrono. Some
guy just laid out in the street. Um, by the way,
it was there a uh is this the police chase
that we're that they're referring to their lead to lap
I was so excited about a police chase and went
by the studio this morning. He couldn't contain himself. Um,
(35:54):
did we ever get details on that police chase? Lee? No, No,
no footage of it on there were shoppers and then
the whole nine. That's a bummer. You know, every week
there's a police chase, you know, just waiting for one
by our studio. It's not this fire truck speed chase.
That had have been great. Yeah, that would have been
a lot of fun. All right. By the way, coming
up top of next hour, the race is closing and
(36:17):
we could have a surprise in the NFL that's gonna
piss off a lot of members of the media. We
will get to that here on top of next hour,
about ten minutes from now. It can happen easily. A
few drinks become a few too many, it's time to go,
and you think of calling for a ride home. Now,
what's the worst thing gonna happen? You get pulled over,
you lose your license, you told her your car, you
kill someone, drive sober and get pulled over. Paid for
(36:38):
by NITZA. Right now, it's time for this. There are
some good things that happen, and there's some bad and
then there's some downright ugly things. It's time for good
bad and all right, lead Lap, you're steering the ship here, ship,
I said with a p what the what? What responsibility? Creek?
(37:02):
As we do every week film, as we started with
the good news of the week, and Brady's got the
honor this week. Well, this one was easy for me,
all right. There's some guys who take that name image
and like this money, the n i L money, and
they splurge, maybe they invest, maybe they save. And there's
others who do incredible gestures like Tyler Lindenbaum, the center
(37:22):
for Iowa who's going to be a first round pick
in this upcoming year's draft. He donated thirty thousand dollars
of his n i L money to the Iowa Stead
Family Children's Hospital, an incredible gesture, one of the many examples.
There's other players who have done stuff like this, but
he should be commended for doing this sort of thing,
(37:43):
especially around the holiday season. That's awesome. That's pretty dope, LaVar.
Won't you let us know what was bad this week? Well,
I gotta say Anthony Davis. It's bad. He said he
heard something pop when the Minnesota Timberwold Jaden McDaniels crashed
into his left knee on Friday. And although we're in
the next week, the following week of it, the fallout
(38:07):
of the injury to Anthony Davis has been traumatic, to
say the least. It's can we do it without Anthony Davis?
It's time to part ways with Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis
has to play better. He's been under constant attack and
constant fire. Things are bad right now for Anthony. By
(38:27):
the way, Charles Barkley gave him the nickname street Closed
because he's always in Street Close. And I think he's
gonna miss one four weeks. I think that was the diagnosis.
He's gonna miss the next four weeks. It's just like
how many times before you look at it and go
all right, man, this ain't it. It's not working. It's
just not doesn't makes sense, kind of bad. It's gotten bad. Yeah,
(38:48):
I agree, alright, alright, Jonas, let us know what was ugly? Well,
what was ugly is apparently it did record numbers according
to ESPN, But anybody happened to take a gander at
who the Minnesota Ikes played a couple of nights ago
on Monday Night Football. That's right, the Bear, the diaper
fire of the NFL, the Chicago Bears, who all their flaws, inadequacies,
(39:10):
and disastrous tendencies were on display and just the product
of what has been built up for years upon years
with that organization. It starts at the top. It goes
to the general manager, Ryan Pace, who to give him credit. Though, Brady,
what does Ryan Pace haveous head of hair? He does,
he has a tremendous head of hair. Uh, and he
(39:31):
won't have to worry about that hair being you know,
damaged by the win in Chicago very much longer because
they'll be out soon. Matt and Aggie will be out soon. Uh.
There they are a full blown disaster and a disgrace
to that city, that great fan base. Are you done
because this is not just a ugly this faulting situation.
(39:52):
Ugly this week was to Ron Williams. It was look
my category power, stop much respect or getting in the ring,
just saying it made us football players like so it looked,
it looked bad. You know, diaper valleys, diaper fires. That's
ugly too. You know it's I can smell it every time. Yeah,
(40:13):
it's nasty, ugly. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports
