(00:41):
in the media. After these comments will get into all
those for you. Coming up here just a couple of
moments from now. It's Two Pros and a Cup of

Brady Quinny will be back tomorrow, so it's just uh,
me and my guys sticks hanging out with you here

(01:01):
Fox Sports Radio Afhilly. It's wherever the hell you are
making us a part of your Monday morning after a
Christmas weekend. We appreciate you doing so. We'll take you
all the way up through the end of the hour.
So we mentioned the the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who put
on a hell of a performance yesterday. They take care
of business with the Carolina Panthers. We saw the return
of Antonio Brown after his suspension for the fake vax
(01:26):
card fiasco. Whatever the hell that was, what was going
on there? Uh? Now, after the game, Antonio Brown was
asked by the media about their faith in him, and uh,
here's how this went down. Post game yesterday, here was
a b o Terry and stood by your side and
he brought you back. Just what did it mean for
you after being here for a year to have a coach?
(01:47):
Next question, banning in your corner? Next question? We just
want to talk about his game. We don't want to
waste no time with you guys, respectfully. Respectfully, Antonio, we
haven't talked to you yet. We haven't talked. That's talk
about that you got you guys, is all drama. It's
all about football. We can't talk about Carolina. I don't
want to talk to you guy. There's Antonio Brown. H Now,
(02:10):
here's uh, he has the right to handle it. That
too much noise right now. But but here, but here's where,
here's the caveat, here's the qualifier. They have the right
to get at you when they get at you, so
(02:31):
so don't like you have your moment, you had a
good game, say this about the drama is about this,
it's about that, like you have every right to handle
that situation the way that you did. She said, respectfully,
we haven't spoken to you. You want to continue on
and say, all right, y'all about the drama this that
(02:52):
and the other, and and you want to make it
see here's my thing, my my whole thing is And
all of that time that you spent telling lady that
reporter that this is drama and asked me about the game,
all you could have you could have answered the question
like it wasn't an egregious question, like it wasn't a
horrible question. Been faster, it would have been quicker to
(03:14):
just give a quick, a quick response like it's great
to have people who believe in me, great to have
a coach that believes in me. Is that that I
missed the question. Let's let's hear the question one more time.
Let's make sure we hear the question one more time, Oh,
Terry and stood by your side and he brought you back.
Just what did it mean for you? Okay, you stop
it right there, You stop it right there. Like to me,
(03:37):
there's nothing dramatic about that. There's nothing to be offended
by by that you did something that led to you
getting disciplined. Right. So the fact that this was a
debate as to whether you and chances are circumstances might
be one of the only or main reasons why you're
(04:00):
still there. Okay, circumstantial here's and And some people were
got the timelines wrong on this. I heard a lot
of people have these takes, and they were wrong. From
this standpoint. People were saying, well, of course you brought
him back because you had injuries to Mike Evans and
God wins out for the year. And dude, they already
announced that we're bringing him back before those injuries happened,
(04:21):
like like that was announced in the game. They discussed
it and made the decision, and then the injuries happened.
It was just by happenstance that it happened the same
game after they announced that he was coming back. So
the idea that you know this was just because they
were banged up. No, they had already made this choice.
They didn't have to bring him back after saying that
they could do whatever it is that they want. That's
(04:44):
the the whole point of it is. Just answer the
question like, you know what, it's great to have coach
area in support. Next question, Bam, but you hit it.
Next question like can questions about Carolina? We can we
hear it again? I just love I love the tone.
(05:05):
Can we hear it again? This is Antonio Brown. Yesterday
Terry and stood by your side and he brought you back.
Just what did it mean for you after being here
for a year to have a coach? Next question pending
in your corner? Next question, you just want to talk
about his game. We don't want to waste no time, respectfully, Respectfully, Antonio,
we haven't talked to you yet. We haven't talked. I
(05:26):
want to talk about that you got you guys? Is
all a drama saw about football? Here's why I laughed.
But I mean, in a way, isn't isn't talking about
coach arians bringing you back by the Carolina game. It's
not like she asked him about the fake VAX card.
(05:48):
She asked him like, Hey, your coach showed support, Like
that's awesome. Next question, shut up? So that's this this
is but i't about this. I don't want to shut up.
This isn't the best part. What are you asking me?
That's the reason why I laugh at this is because
you would think, like if they were to ask you,
all right, you got a place a wager, how do
(06:10):
you believe Antonio Brown is going to behave post game
after he makes his return from the suspension of people
out there would say he's probably going to gracious, appreciative
to be to have another second chance. Uh and no, no,
no doubles down on being an a hole. But these
(06:33):
are these are the moments in time where you say,
why is the media so hard on him? Or he'll
be like, why are you guys so hard on me?
Why are you not fear when it comes to me? Um,
I don't know. Let me take a let me take
a little guess at this, Like maybe it was like
(06:54):
those times where you could have just been like, it's
nice to have Like the lady was just looking for
you to say it's nice to have coach support me.
That's all she was looking for. That's all she was
looking for and now you're gonna get You're gonna get
an article about that lady one day and she is
going to throw down on your ask and you're gonna
(07:14):
be reading that joint. You wanna be like, why does
the media hate me? Why do they not? I don't
never get a fair sake? Like all right, let me
tell you something. If you grew up on w W
E like I did, like LaVar did, like listen, the
heels were always my favorite characters like Ravishing, Rick, Rowdy, Roddy, Piper,
(07:37):
all the bad guys. I loved all the bad guys
for that reason because they could do. And if you
talk to anybody's a pro wrestler, yes, they'll tell you
being a heel, being a bad guy is always more
fun because you can get away with us. I'm about
to say that's why Hulk with to the dark. Listen.
And so the fact that Antonio Brown pulled you know,
(07:58):
it's Econo McGregor. After he had some issues out of
the octagon, he comes back and they're like, anything you
want to say about all the stuff that went down,
He's like, I'd like to take this time to apologize
to absolutely nobody, And like Antonio Brown was like, oh,
you think I'm gonna be contrite? You think after the
performance I just put up, You're gonna start asking me
a question that that I even think threatens the conversation
(08:19):
about a fake vax card. And he says, f this,
I'm doubling down and I'm just gonna be a jay
off And I don't care who's got a problem with it.
I think it's hilarious. I'm all in. I'm Antonio Brown, Baby. Yes,
he'll Antonio Brown, I'm into it. You need more of that.
I mean he came in like, why are you so hot?
(08:40):
Why are you coming so hotbody? I mean, really, you
gonna pop up over somebody asking about support support from
a coach? She did nothing wrong, didn't ask about if
you felt like that was am I'm wrong for saying that.
I came to the conclusion now right now, I can't
(09:01):
to the conclusion that a d doesn't fool with Bruce Arians.
Abe doesn't fool with Bruce Arians right. Think about it.
She asked about support from from coach arians, you said,
next question, I don't want to answer no questions about
the coaches. Y'all come with this drama all the time.
(09:23):
Is that is that a guilty conscience? Are you giving
yourself away? Are you putting yourself out there for the
masses to consume? You not being contrite, you not being humble,
you not being gracious about it as basically saying, look,
I'm here to win games. If you want to talk
about how I bawled out today on their asses against Carolina,
(09:46):
we can talk about that, but don't be asking me
no dramatic questions like if my coach supported me bringing
me back? How do I feel about here? It's just
the blatant lack of self awareness that I just think
it's hilarious. I'm sorry, I think it's hilarious that he
that he that he even the idea, that's how he contextualized,
(10:07):
like this is drama? How dare you about my coach
supporting me and bringing me Dude? You know what's drama?
You freezing your feet off in the Encino man chamber
or whatever it was back in the day. You know
what else's drama? Not paying your cooks, putting a hashtag
on Twitter that says no more white women. I mean listening,
(10:28):
But hey, you know I hear it right? Not not
on his Twitter account, I can tell you that there,
Like yeah, but it's like all that's drama. A reporter
(10:50):
asking him about his coach having faith in him after
being suspended and being given a second chance, and he
doesn't see that as an opportunity to at least public
make a you know, try an attempt to right or wrong,
and he just says, effort. I'm going nine and kiss?
(11:11):
Did they giant kiss my asses? I'm as I'm blowing
through stop signs here. We're trying to win a championship,
by the way, here was Bruce Arians was asked about
the performance of his wide receiver yesterday. Were you surprised
at how much you got out of a by today?
Not necessarily an awful lot. No, not really. When I
watched in practices this week, I knew he's in great
shape and uh he was healthy, and uh told me
(11:33):
whatever you need, I'm there keeping mind. Bruce Arians was
the guy who said not interested. He said not interested,
and he's got experience because he was on the Pittsburgh
staff when A B was there and so everybody took
that as well. If he doesn't want anything to do
with him, man Antonio Brown's really burned bridges. But Tom
(11:53):
Brady wanted him and he was staying with Tom Brady.
He said he's since changed his stance on a b
He's since substance, and then Antonio Brown rolls out with
that gem post something foul away if something goes wrong.
It's like Bruce arians at all. Well, look, you know what,
(12:13):
Like we mentioned that Terrell Owens and and Antonio Brown's
Hall of Fame candidacy we talked about earlier is going
to be fascinating to see how he's judged. But it's
like Terrell Owens should have been a first boutole. He
got jobbed because people held grudges against him in the media,
and it's like, I wonder how many of those media
members that didn't vote for in the first couple of
years to punish him. We're like, hey, dude, you remember
(12:34):
when you were doing sit ups in the driveway. Yeah,
this is why what we're trying to get. We're trying
to ask you a question and you're doing crunches in
the driveway like you're Patrick Bateman off of us. Here's
my Americans. Whose driveway was he in doing those sit ups?
Was it his driveway? Yes? Yeah, y'aw came to him
(12:54):
with that I don't know if he wants to put
on a show, because y'all aim to him have at it.
This is a postgame interview. You're supposed to get up
there questions. I don't want no drama like you. You're
(13:14):
not like shn We be clear here. You are not
a victim. You getting suspended was a decision that you made.
The things that you have gone through. The things that
you have gone through are things that you have created
and brought upon yourself. You are not a victim. What
(13:37):
do you mean y'all trying to bring drama? You bring
the drama. This brought more drama than anything he could
have outsaid, Like like the question was totally within bounds
and him taking this approach only why and that's it's
a guilty CONSTI why not just take that as a
moment to be like, you know what, we got a
(13:57):
lot of adversity going on right now. I'm telling you,
I got an opportunity to get back, get right, to
help our team win. Coach Arians and coach left wide, everybody.
We pulled together a dope game plan to get this done.
Like I'm glad I could be a part of it.
Like done, people feel good about it. You feel good
about it. Everybody feels good about it. It's just hilarious.
(14:19):
You had to go to next question. Hilarious stre you
asked me, how did this coach believe in me? I
believe in me? You want me to me? You want
to be apologetic? Who would have self awareness? Kiss my ass?
I got something for you. I love it. I think
it's hilarious. I think it's just hilarious. By the way,
(14:41):
we were brought to you by Discover, Real credit card
questions require real people, someone who understand your issues and
works to resolve them with you. That's why I Discover
offers help with US based representatives available seven Discover exceptionally
common sense. All right, coming up next, Um, somebody on
this show is going to have to discuss what the
hell is happening to their team. It is not a
(15:01):
good look gets worse and worse seemingly every week. We
get into all that for you next year on fs
ARE be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros
and a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LaVar Arrington

Wait till I start doing it. I know. Yeah, there's
a definite payback coming for sure. So I'm sure is
all right? So we are We're going to get into
(16:30):
an interesting discussion being had about somebody's team here on
the show. Do you want to let you know? Though
it can happen easily, a few drinks become a few
too many, it's time to go anything calling for ride home. Now,
what's the worst gonna happen? You get pulled over, you
lose your license, you told her your car, you kill someone,
drive sober, get pulled over. Paid for by NITZA. The
Kansas City Chiefs are rolling. Uh. They are the one
(16:52):
seed in the a f C right now. They look
they look damn good. They're playing really really good football
right now. They have been for a couple of weeks.
I know, LaVar, you have uh you've started to uh,
you know, sort of see why why Kansas City uh
is that team and just how they're playing right now.
They are a division winner, uh, and they're sitting in
(17:12):
the one spot. And they looked very, very impressive yesterday
against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who don't look so impressive, not
at all. Uh it Uh, we're getting to that point, right,
I mean, it's we're you know, I think we were
probably there for a little while, but you know, it's
a wrap on on Big Bend the Steelers. It just
(17:32):
feels like we're going in that direction and hurry. I
mean they talked about it on the on the broadcast,
like he's got his family coming to games they've never
come to before. In the past. Uh, they're just living
the moments, living in the moments as much as possible.
You start to realize, if you've had an illustrious career
of the magnitude of a Ben Roethlisberger, you have you
(17:56):
have the opportunities and you have the right to to
reminisce and to lean on better days. It's like you
heard can we talked about it earlier in the show.
You heard Cam reminiscing and bringing up old names. I mean,
imagine the names that been reminiscent bring up, you know,
(18:18):
and just understanding what he's experienced and where he's at
right now. Um, this team is not a good team,
and it's funny because they're a good team that finds
a way to win. So that tells you how how
good of an organization, how well they're coached, how how
(18:38):
well things are done that they're still able to be competitive.
And we have to have conversations where you're trying to
figure out what the dynamic of where this team is.
I mean, again, Mike Tomlin has never had a losing
season as as a head coach for this this organization,
So for them to be in the place they're him
(19:00):
right now, I mean, when I watched that game, I
watched the team that had nothing like It was embarrassing
to watch how Kansas City was was doing Pittsburgh. They
ran the ball, they ran over them, they ran around them,
They threw the ball. They threw the ball over them,
(19:22):
they threw it outside of them, they threw it in
the middle of the field. They did what they wanted
to do with the Steelers. And and on defense, they
did what they wanted to do with the Steelers. They
just basically did what they wanted to do with the Steelers.
And that's just not what Steeler football is. And I
think there's there's two fold here. One the first fold
(19:45):
is the Chiefs are definitely improving. But let's be clear,
they lost their running back uh yesterday Edwards a law
uh and and that's a big law for them because
they need to have a running attack. They definitely need
to have a run element. They were still able to
(20:08):
shove the ball down the Steelers throats even after uh
he went out. But moving forward, they're gonna make They're
going to have to make sure that they have some
type of u uh uh you know, running attack of
some sort. Now for the Steelers, I just think that
you look at it from the perspective of you don't
(20:30):
have enough offense and you don't have enough defense, and
that's just not You've always had at least enough defense forever, forever,
and you don't even have that right now. And you're
not you're not good enough on one side of the
ball to make up for the lack of whatever you're
(20:51):
missing on the other side of the ball. Offense is
not good enough, and I just here's here's the other
part about Aethlisberger. So he's got obviously this game coming
up this week, Um, Pittsburgh is going to take on
the Cleveland Browns, and um, that's I believe that's the
Monday night game next week, which look is probably going
(21:13):
to be his last home game as a member of
the Pittsburgh Steelers. So so it'll probably be pretty emotional.
And I'm curious to see what his reaction is after
that game is over, and just to see where they're at. Um,
And they're not completely out of the playoffs. It's a
way long shot or a real a big long shot,
you know. And and so they've got them, then they're
(21:34):
going to finish up at Baltimore. You would figure they
would get a split on on those two games, you
would hope, and that way they'll keep Mike Tomlin's winning record.
He never finished the season with a losing record. That
will continue the thing that I think, like, you look
at Brady, Brady has aged in a way that we've
never seen. And so when you watch Roethlisberger, you go, God,
(21:56):
he clearly has lost a step. He can't make the throws.
He looks like a shell of his former self. Dude,
this is how it normally looks like Brady's changed the
the thought on on quarterbacks. Drew Brees looked like this
in the end. Peyton Manning looked like this in the end.
I mean, Eli Manning, I don't think ever got to
(22:17):
that bad of a state. But he he also never
played at the level that Ben Roethlisberger did individually, and
and it just like this is the normal. What you're
seeing from Roethlisberger is just the normal progression of a
guy who's taken a pounding in his career. Um and
it's just at the point where he's come back from
a couple of surgeries and and it's just it like
(22:38):
this is so when he's talking about wanting to play
again after this season. There was that rumor that was
thrown out there. I don't think he's playing after this season.
I think he's done after this season. I think he's
going to retire a Steeler, and I just think it's time.
I just think it's time they go in a different direction.
The only problem with that logic is players move on
their own time. So if he doesn't it like he's done,
(23:01):
then it's up to a team out there other than
the Pittsburgh Steelers to give him an opportunity. And then
now that becomes are you okay with him being a
backup on your team? Who is he going to be
a backup for? Because now you're running into the same
scenario that you you had where we're talking about Cam
(23:22):
Newton in the same situation. So I just I think
that there's a limited market for guys like Ben Roethlisberger
and honestly for for post career opportunities. Don't don't go
to a different team. No, you're not. You're not going
to get different results than what you're getting right now.
(23:43):
You're not going to go somewhere and be magically better
than what you are right now. Just go ahead, enjoy
the rest of these games, retire a Pittsburgh Steeler and
enjoy doing your signings until you go to the Hall
of Fame, and then you'll do golf tournaments all year,
like you like to do golf, beer footed and and
enjoy your life. Like that's I think that that's where
(24:04):
you go. If I've been Roethlisberger, does he golf barfoot?
I know that Jim McMahon does. Like that's the thing
where people just like the golf bearfoot. Yeah. I like
being beerfoot. Yeah. You don't like shoes. I don't like.
I don't wear socks. I don't I don't like. When's
the last time you wore a pair of socks? I
don't know. Did you ever think you'd be asked that
(24:28):
question on a sports talk radio show? Sure? Why not?
All right? Two pros cup of Joel here Fox Sports Right,
people asked me, did I play play football beer footed?
I did not play football barefooted? Yeah, I mean, like
I'm saying in my spikes, like did I have socks on? Yeah?
I hope so. Yeah, but they were very thin that
(24:50):
didn't mess your feet up at all? Like I don't
know that was like maybe it did. I don't know.
I did end up blowing my killesten't that to me?
Seems like I would need us some comfortable socks, an
apparent cleets. Nobody's walking around in cleats just because they're coming.
I just don't like the barrier between my feet and
my shoe, Like I feel like there's an unnecessary or
(25:11):
unnecessary layer between my foot and my shoe. And and
for for what it's worth, I feel like that about
a shoe. I don't like that in between with the shoe.
I just like my feet to be free. M yeah,
I mean, listen, man, I don't. I don't like my
feet to be in bondage by the system of of
(25:34):
what shoes have created. By the way, this last three
minutes of the show is voted most favorite three minutes
in show history by Rex Ryan. Uh what age just
a bizarre fetish? All right? Um? Coming up next, there's
a you know, a couple of teams in the NFL
(25:56):
in yeah, hold on with your teeth. Would you ever
wear crocs? Okay, it's so funny you brought that up.
I was thinking about it this weekend. How are those comfortable?
But everyone swears everybody sawyers about you know what it is?
I feel like and I could be totally wrong, but
they made them bad boys out of the same materials
(26:17):
that people that that stand at like convenience stores or
stand up behind um like desk and stuff like that,
like that little squire. I think that that's what they
made them. Joints out, yeah, like they or like in
front of a sink, like standing right. So instead of
having to stand on that, we created a shoe for
(26:38):
you to stand in that feels exactly like what that
that cushions and they're like a hippie pilgrim shoes. We
have you worn I've never worn them. If they look
if they want to sponsor throwing a you know, sponsor
opportunity will make that happens. And I learned from up
on game. We're not getting any free love here. Don't
(26:58):
do the free love there. Have you ever worn them?
B No, you kind of look like a cruc. That's
the most insulting thing that you've ever heard on the air.
By the way, Yeah, there's okay, you could go back
to back door still open. No, it's Santa um. If
(27:24):
you're an l A Charger fan and you're waking up
and you're listening on the blowtorch Am five seventy l
A Sports. First of all, you're a Rams fan, You're like,
hey Man, Labar and Brady were right. I give you
guys credit. You guys said the Rams were heading in
the right direction. I was skeptical. Stafford did not play
well yesterday, but they get a win on the road
at Minnesota. Was a tough game. That was a good
(27:44):
quality win told And by the way, Jalen Ramsey versus
Justin Jefferson was a fun matchup to watch. And that's
another one of those. Could have been a taunting foul,
wasn't a taunting foul based off of interpretation. I mean
it's just kind of I don't know, it's just it's
it's the whole. Yeah, the officiating is just puzzling. Every
(28:05):
single very inconsistent. Here's what's puzzling. How the hell did
the Chargers lose in Houston like that yesterday? I mean,
that's embarrassed. I mean they got handled too. They didn't
just lose, they got they got handled. I know that
there was you know, Joey Bosa wasn't in Derwin jail,
Like I I get all that, but you can't I
mean handled hammered. I mean, I don't I don't really understand.
(28:31):
I was trying to comprehend it um because that's one
of those games where you are able to rest your guys,
get in there and get a dub and and get
out of there. Instead of complicating things, you complicated your matters.
You know. It's it's funny because in previous years, what
did we always hear? Because the Charger is like, we're
(28:53):
out here in l A. The Chargers have these like
four or five times a year they have games like
this where it's like really like with that ross her
and that much talent, and that's what you roll out.
The difference is Anthony Lynne got blamed for that for years.
He Anthony Lynn got buried by people all see this
is the problem with Anthony Lynn. It's like when the
(29:13):
Patriots went into into l A last year and hammered him,
and it's like, oh man, this is this is the
issue with Anthony Lynn. The guys aren't ready a well,
what the hell is that? Because they go to Houston,
they're playing a bad football team who has been a
disaster all year against Davis Mills, a rookie mid round
draft pick, and they got knife, like, I mean, all
game like it would it looked terrible. Like I just
(29:35):
if I'm a Charger fan, I come away from that
game going here we go again. Man, it's like the
same old story exau Anthony Lynn is not there to blame.
I mean, it's just it's a bizarre share them and
route them and urge them on at the point, I
don't it's the first time that this is surfacing as
like a big media thing. So maybe that's this is
(29:56):
the first time she's made in public that that there
I them. But you know, I don't really know. I
felt like that was more interesting the storyline of Simone
Bowles being there and coverage. Yeah, you know, well, I
mean what else what else were you what? I'm just no,
just saying that was you know, it was, you know,
(30:17):
courageous for her to show up and and be there
at the game. I just was saying, like I just
wanted to point that out, like I just want to
make that clear. I'm gonna just go back to cancel
culture could come for you on that one. That's one
where canceled culture could. I'm not going to touch that one.
Matt Stafford's wife had to throw a Pretzel at somebody
who was giving him a hard time. If anybody going
to games now, if you're a celebrity like you, you
(30:39):
know you got a lot of things coming your way.
Nothing to do with that, all right, So, uh, I'm
gonna just go back to the field after that. Uh,
Houston seemed to be ready employesed to play a good game.
They have played good games and weeks past, and they
were able to put together against against this Dischargers team.
(31:03):
I find it to be a tad bit concerning, not
that they lost the game, but in the way that
they lost the game. I found to be a tad
big concerned. They were careless with the ball, They weren't
able to win up front, so to speak. Herbert was
seemed off and not not in rhythm. Uh. They just
(31:25):
seemed to be kind of disjointed like they were. They
were not They were not moving in the right direction
as a group yesterday, and that that to me at
this time of the year, that's a tad bit concerning
It's a two pros and a cup of Joe Fox

(33:16):
These are the scraps, And for that we turn it
over to the great lead to Laugh to find out
what the hell we miss A big hair in the scraps,
you guys. A few weeks ago we had reported on
the Dallas Cowboys bringing their own heated benches to Washington
to FedEx Field. Will not to be outdone. When Washington
(33:37):
visited Arlington this weekend, they brought their own heated benches,
even though it's an indoor stadium and eighty degrees. Yeah,
how'd that work out? Well? They got a lot of
airtime for those benches. Maybe that's why Jonathan Allen through
that punch. It was so hot on the bench. He's like, man,
I gotta get off this thing. Let me let me
throw a smoker at this guy and see if I
can land paint that. Let me get off these bench
(33:59):
and poke um in the head because it's so hot
on it. And I was pointing out now, I was
saying aren't these benches really hot? By the way, that
that's so weird, Like why are teams allowed to bring
in their own benches? Isn't part of having a home
field advantage you got to play under the circumstances. Well
that's not that's not true, No, because I can recall
us being at Beaver Stadium freezing our asses off with
(34:21):
aluminum um benches and just a little jet heaters, and
we'd see Michigan or Michigan State over there with the
heat at benches, and they'd be sitting over there, cozy, warm,
bundled up. What was it? Joe Pod just wanted you guys,
it was just different. It's the old school mentality that
(34:41):
we always lost old games. Go figure figure what you guys.
Fort Nitors g M. John Lynch is issuing an apology
for apparently liking a tweet trashing Jimmy g saying that
he unknowingly an accident only like to tweet wall like
probably when that happened. Probably, But by the way, I
(35:04):
like how he dressed it up by saying I was
in a mass with my family, I was in church,
and apparently I like to tweet hey dude, uh while
they're handed out communion. Why don't you log off Twitter? Okay, Like,
what are we talking about here? Well, he's got to
pay attention to what his personnel is doing or what
people are saying about his person I mean, it's it's church.
(35:24):
It was a forty five minutes or an hour. I'm
just saying, you can't be away from the from what's
going on matters that long. You gotta stay connected when
you're the GM. Now, I have accidentally liked to tweet.
I've accidentally followed people. Yeah, I have tweets. I'm ashamed
that I accidentally liked yeah immediately because when you're scrolling
through the like, the like button is like, it's very
(35:48):
easy to hit hit Yeah. You could double tap it
very easily. Unfortunate Jesus, that's a good point. That's accidentally
being why they made it. That is a fair point.

So we mentioned the the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who put
on a hell of a performance yesterday. They take care
of business with the Carolina Panthers. We saw the return
of Antonio Brown after his suspension for the fake vax
(01:26):
card fiasco. Whatever the hell that was, what was going
on there? Uh? Now, after the game, Antonio Brown was
asked by the media about their faith in him, and uh,
here's how this went down. Post game yesterday, here was
a b o Terry and stood by your side and
he brought you back. Just what did it mean for
you after being here for a year to have a coach?
(01:47):
Next question, banning in your corner? Next question? We just
want to talk about his game. We don't want to
waste no time with you guys, respectfully. Respectfully, Antonio, we
haven't talked to you yet. We haven't talked. That's talk
about that you got you guys, is all drama. It's
all about football. We can't talk about Carolina. I don't
want to talk to you guy. There's Antonio Brown. H Now,
(02:10):
here's uh, he has the right to handle it. That
too much noise right now. But but here, but here's where,
here's the caveat, here's the qualifier. They have the right
to get at you when they get at you, so
(02:31):
so don't like you have your moment, you had a
good game, say this about the drama is about this,
it's about that, like you have every right to handle
that situation the way that you did. She said, respectfully,
we haven't spoken to you. You want to continue on
and say, all right, y'all about the drama this that
(02:52):
and the other, and and you want to make it
see here's my thing, my my whole thing is And
all of that time that you spent telling lady that
reporter that this is drama and asked me about the game,
all you could have you could have answered the question
like it wasn't an egregious question, like it wasn't a
horrible question. Been faster, it would have been quicker to
(03:14):
just give a quick, a quick response like it's great
to have people who believe in me, great to have
a coach that believes in me. Is that that I
missed the question. Let's let's hear the question one more time.
Let's make sure we hear the question one more time, Oh,
Terry and stood by your side and he brought you back.
Just what did it mean for you? Okay, you stop
it right there, You stop it right there. Like to me,
(03:37):
there's nothing dramatic about that. There's nothing to be offended
by by that you did something that led to you
getting disciplined. Right. So the fact that this was a
debate as to whether you and chances are circumstances might
be one of the only or main reasons why you're
(04:00):
still there. Okay, circumstantial here's and And some people were
got the timelines wrong on this. I heard a lot
of people have these takes, and they were wrong. From
this standpoint. People were saying, well, of course you brought
him back because you had injuries to Mike Evans and
God wins out for the year. And dude, they already
announced that we're bringing him back before those injuries happened,
(04:21):
like like that was announced in the game. They discussed
it and made the decision, and then the injuries happened.
It was just by happenstance that it happened the same
game after they announced that he was coming back. So
the idea that you know this was just because they
were banged up. No, they had already made this choice.
They didn't have to bring him back after saying that
they could do whatever it is that they want. That's
(04:44):
the the whole point of it is. Just answer the
question like, you know what, it's great to have coach
area in support. Next question, Bam, but you hit it.
Next question like can questions about Carolina? We can we
hear it again? I just love I love the tone.
(05:05):
Can we hear it again? This is Antonio Brown. Yesterday
Terry and stood by your side and he brought you back.
Just what did it mean for you after being here
for a year to have a coach? Next question pending
in your corner? Next question, you just want to talk
about his game. We don't want to waste no time, respectfully, Respectfully, Antonio,
we haven't talked to you yet. We haven't talked. I
(05:26):
want to talk about that you got you guys? Is
all a drama saw about football? Here's why I laughed.
But I mean, in a way, isn't isn't talking about
coach arians bringing you back by the Carolina game. It's
not like she asked him about the fake VAX card.
(05:48):
She asked him like, Hey, your coach showed support, Like
that's awesome. Next question, shut up? So that's this this
is but i't about this. I don't want to shut up.
This isn't the best part. What are you asking me?
That's the reason why I laugh at this is because
you would think, like if they were to ask you,
all right, you got a place a wager, how do
(06:10):
you believe Antonio Brown is going to behave post game
after he makes his return from the suspension of people
out there would say he's probably going to gracious, appreciative
to be to have another second chance. Uh and no, no,
no doubles down on being an a hole. But these
(06:33):
are these are the moments in time where you say,
why is the media so hard on him? Or he'll
be like, why are you guys so hard on me?
Why are you not fear when it comes to me? Um,
I don't know. Let me take a let me take
a little guess at this, Like maybe it was like
(06:54):
those times where you could have just been like, it's
nice to have Like the lady was just looking for
you to say it's nice to have coach support me.
That's all she was looking for. That's all she was
looking for and now you're gonna get You're gonna get
an article about that lady one day and she is
going to throw down on your ask and you're gonna
(07:14):
be reading that joint. You wanna be like, why does
the media hate me? Why do they not? I don't
never get a fair sake? Like all right, let me
tell you something. If you grew up on w W
E like I did, like LaVar did, like listen, the
heels were always my favorite characters like Ravishing, Rick, Rowdy, Roddy, Piper,
(07:37):
all the bad guys. I loved all the bad guys
for that reason because they could do. And if you
talk to anybody's a pro wrestler, yes, they'll tell you
being a heel, being a bad guy is always more
fun because you can get away with us. I'm about
to say that's why Hulk with to the dark. Listen.
And so the fact that Antonio Brown pulled you know,
(07:58):
it's Econo McGregor. After he had some issues out of
the octagon, he comes back and they're like, anything you
want to say about all the stuff that went down,
He's like, I'd like to take this time to apologize
to absolutely nobody, And like Antonio Brown was like, oh,
you think I'm gonna be contrite? You think after the
performance I just put up, You're gonna start asking me
a question that that I even think threatens the conversation
(08:19):
about a fake vax card. And he says, f this,
I'm doubling down and I'm just gonna be a jay
off And I don't care who's got a problem with it.
I think it's hilarious. I'm all in. I'm Antonio Brown, Baby. Yes,
he'll Antonio Brown, I'm into it. You need more of that.
I mean he came in like, why are you so hot?
(08:40):
Why are you coming so hotbody? I mean, really, you
gonna pop up over somebody asking about support support from
a coach? She did nothing wrong, didn't ask about if
you felt like that was am I'm wrong for saying that.
I came to the conclusion now right now, I can't
(09:01):
to the conclusion that a d doesn't fool with Bruce Arians.
Abe doesn't fool with Bruce Arians right. Think about it.
She asked about support from from coach arians, you said,
next question, I don't want to answer no questions about
the coaches. Y'all come with this drama all the time.
(09:23):
Is that is that a guilty conscience? Are you giving
yourself away? Are you putting yourself out there for the
masses to consume? You not being contrite, you not being humble,
you not being gracious about it as basically saying, look,
I'm here to win games. If you want to talk
about how I bawled out today on their asses against Carolina,
(09:46):
we can talk about that, but don't be asking me
no dramatic questions like if my coach supported me bringing
me back? How do I feel about here? It's just
the blatant lack of self awareness that I just think
it's hilarious. I'm sorry, I think it's hilarious that he
that he that he even the idea, that's how he contextualized,
(10:07):
like this is drama? How dare you about my coach
supporting me and bringing me Dude? You know what's drama?
You freezing your feet off in the Encino man chamber
or whatever it was back in the day. You know
what else's drama? Not paying your cooks, putting a hashtag
on Twitter that says no more white women. I mean listening,
(10:28):
But hey, you know I hear it right? Not not
on his Twitter account, I can tell you that there,
Like yeah, but it's like all that's drama. A reporter
(10:50):
asking him about his coach having faith in him after
being suspended and being given a second chance, and he
doesn't see that as an opportunity to at least public
make a you know, try an attempt to right or wrong,
and he just says, effort. I'm going nine and kiss?
(11:11):
Did they giant kiss my asses? I'm as I'm blowing
through stop signs here. We're trying to win a championship,
by the way, here was Bruce Arians was asked about
the performance of his wide receiver yesterday. Were you surprised
at how much you got out of a by today?
Not necessarily an awful lot. No, not really. When I
watched in practices this week, I knew he's in great
shape and uh he was healthy, and uh told me
(11:33):
whatever you need, I'm there keeping mind. Bruce Arians was
the guy who said not interested. He said not interested,
and he's got experience because he was on the Pittsburgh
staff when A B was there and so everybody took
that as well. If he doesn't want anything to do
with him, man Antonio Brown's really burned bridges. But Tom
(11:53):
Brady wanted him and he was staying with Tom Brady.
He said he's since changed his stance on a b
He's since substance, and then Antonio Brown rolls out with
that gem post something foul away if something goes wrong.
It's like Bruce arians at all. Well, look, you know what,
(12:13):
Like we mentioned that Terrell Owens and and Antonio Brown's
Hall of Fame candidacy we talked about earlier is going
to be fascinating to see how he's judged. But it's
like Terrell Owens should have been a first boutole. He
got jobbed because people held grudges against him in the media,
and it's like, I wonder how many of those media
members that didn't vote for in the first couple of
years to punish him. We're like, hey, dude, you remember
(12:34):
when you were doing sit ups in the driveway. Yeah,
this is why what we're trying to get. We're trying
to ask you a question and you're doing crunches in
the driveway like you're Patrick Bateman off of us. Here's
my Americans. Whose driveway was he in doing those sit ups?
Was it his driveway? Yes? Yeah, y'aw came to him
(12:54):
with that I don't know if he wants to put
on a show, because y'all aim to him have at it.
This is a postgame interview. You're supposed to get up
there questions. I don't want no drama like you. You're
(13:14):
not like shn We be clear here. You are not
a victim. You getting suspended was a decision that you made.
The things that you have gone through. The things that
you have gone through are things that you have created
and brought upon yourself. You are not a victim. What
(13:37):
do you mean y'all trying to bring drama? You bring
the drama. This brought more drama than anything he could
have outsaid, Like like the question was totally within bounds
and him taking this approach only why and that's it's
a guilty CONSTI why not just take that as a
moment to be like, you know what, we got a
(13:57):
lot of adversity going on right now. I'm telling you,
I got an opportunity to get back, get right, to
help our team win. Coach Arians and coach left wide, everybody.
We pulled together a dope game plan to get this done.
Like I'm glad I could be a part of it.
Like done, people feel good about it. You feel good
about it. Everybody feels good about it. It's just hilarious.
(14:19):
You had to go to next question. Hilarious stre you
asked me, how did this coach believe in me? I
believe in me? You want me to me? You want
to be apologetic? Who would have self awareness? Kiss my ass?
I got something for you. I love it. I think
it's hilarious. I think it's just hilarious. By the way,
(14:41):
we were brought to you by Discover, Real credit card
questions require real people, someone who understand your issues and
works to resolve them with you. That's why I Discover
offers help with US based representatives available seven Discover exceptionally
common sense. All right, coming up next, Um, somebody on

hell is happening to their team. It is not a
(15:01):
good look gets worse and worse seemingly every week. We
get into all that for you next year on fs
ARE be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros

we're doing. We're two and a half in the show.
Wait till I start doing it. I know. Yeah, there's
a definite payback coming for sure. So I'm sure is
all right? So we are We're going to get into
(16:30):
an interesting discussion being had about somebody's team here on
the show. Do you want to let you know? Though
it can happen easily, a few drinks become a few
too many, it's time to go anything calling for ride home. Now,
what's the worst gonna happen? You get pulled over, you
lose your license, you told her your car, you kill someone,
drive sober, get pulled over. Paid for by NITZA. The
Kansas City Chiefs are rolling. Uh. They are the one
(16:52):
seed in the a f C right now. They look
they look damn good. They're playing really really good football
right now. They have been for a couple of weeks.
I know, LaVar, you have uh you've started to uh,
you know, sort of see why why Kansas City uh
is that team and just how they're playing right now.
They are a division winner, uh, and they're sitting in
(17:12):
the one spot. And they looked very, very impressive yesterday
against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who don't look so impressive, not
at all. Uh it Uh, we're getting to that point, right,
I mean, it's we're you know, I think we were
probably there for a little while, but you know, it's
a wrap on on Big Bend the Steelers. It just
(17:32):
feels like we're going in that direction and hurry. I
mean they talked about it on the on the broadcast,
like he's got his family coming to games they've never
come to before. In the past. Uh, they're just living
the moments, living in the moments as much as possible.
You start to realize, if you've had an illustrious career
of the magnitude of a Ben Roethlisberger, you have you
(17:56):
have the opportunities and you have the right to to
reminisce and to lean on better days. It's like you
heard can we talked about it earlier in the show.
You heard Cam reminiscing and bringing up old names. I mean,
imagine the names that been reminiscent bring up, you know,
(18:18):
and just understanding what he's experienced and where he's at
right now. Um, this team is not a good team,
and it's funny because they're a good team that finds
a way to win. So that tells you how how
good of an organization, how well they're coached, how how
(18:38):
well things are done that they're still able to be competitive.
And we have to have conversations where you're trying to
figure out what the dynamic of where this team is.
I mean, again, Mike Tomlin has never had a losing
season as as a head coach for this this organization,
So for them to be in the place they're him
(19:00):
right now, I mean, when I watched that game, I
watched the team that had nothing like It was embarrassing
to watch how Kansas City was was doing Pittsburgh. They
ran the ball, they ran over them, they ran around them,
They threw the ball. They threw the ball over them,
(19:22):
they threw it outside of them, they threw it in
the middle of the field. They did what they wanted
to do with the Steelers. And and on defense, they
did what they wanted to do with the Steelers. They
just basically did what they wanted to do with the Steelers.
And that's just not what Steeler football is. And I
think there's there's two fold here. One the first fold
(19:45):
is the Chiefs are definitely improving. But let's be clear,
they lost their running back uh yesterday Edwards a law
uh and and that's a big law for them because
they need to have a running attack. They definitely need
to have a run element. They were still able to
(20:08):
shove the ball down the Steelers throats even after uh
he went out. But moving forward, they're gonna make They're
going to have to make sure that they have some
type of u uh uh you know, running attack of
some sort. Now for the Steelers, I just think that
you look at it from the perspective of you don't
(20:30):
have enough offense and you don't have enough defense, and
that's just not You've always had at least enough defense forever, forever,
and you don't even have that right now. And you're
not you're not good enough on one side of the
ball to make up for the lack of whatever you're
(20:51):
missing on the other side of the ball. Offense is
not good enough, and I just here's here's the other
part about Aethlisberger. So he's got obviously this game coming
up this week, Um, Pittsburgh is going to take on
the Cleveland Browns, and um, that's I believe that's the
Monday night game next week, which look is probably going
(21:13):
to be his last home game as a member of
the Pittsburgh Steelers. So so it'll probably be pretty emotional.
And I'm curious to see what his reaction is after
that game is over, and just to see where they're at. Um,
And they're not completely out of the playoffs. It's a
way long shot or a real a big long shot,
you know. And and so they've got them, then they're
(21:34):
going to finish up at Baltimore. You would figure they
would get a split on on those two games, you
would hope, and that way they'll keep Mike Tomlin's winning record.
He never finished the season with a losing record. That
will continue the thing that I think, like, you look
at Brady, Brady has aged in a way that we've
never seen. And so when you watch Roethlisberger, you go, God,
(21:56):
he clearly has lost a step. He can't make the throws.
He looks like a shell of his former self. Dude,
this is how it normally looks like Brady's changed the
the thought on on quarterbacks. Drew Brees looked like this
in the end. Peyton Manning looked like this in the end.
I mean, Eli Manning, I don't think ever got to
(22:17):
that bad of a state. But he he also never
played at the level that Ben Roethlisberger did individually, and
and it just like this is the normal. What you're
seeing from Roethlisberger is just the normal progression of a
guy who's taken a pounding in his career. Um and
it's just at the point where he's come back from
a couple of surgeries and and it's just it like
(22:38):
this is so when he's talking about wanting to play
again after this season. There was that rumor that was
thrown out there. I don't think he's playing after this season.
I think he's done after this season. I think he's
going to retire a Steeler, and I just think it's time.
I just think it's time they go in a different direction.
The only problem with that logic is players move on
their own time. So if he doesn't it like he's done,
(23:01):
then it's up to a team out there other than
the Pittsburgh Steelers to give him an opportunity. And then
now that becomes are you okay with him being a
backup on your team? Who is he going to be
a backup for? Because now you're running into the same
scenario that you you had where we're talking about Cam
(23:22):
Newton in the same situation. So I just I think
that there's a limited market for guys like Ben Roethlisberger
and honestly for for post career opportunities. Don't don't go
to a different team. No, you're not. You're not going
to get different results than what you're getting right now.
(23:43):
You're not going to go somewhere and be magically better
than what you are right now. Just go ahead, enjoy
the rest of these games, retire a Pittsburgh Steeler and
enjoy doing your signings until you go to the Hall
of Fame, and then you'll do golf tournaments all year,
like you like to do golf, beer footed and and
enjoy your life. Like that's I think that that's where
(24:04):
you go. If I've been Roethlisberger, does he golf barfoot?
I know that Jim McMahon does. Like that's the thing
where people just like the golf bearfoot. Yeah. I like
being beerfoot. Yeah. You don't like shoes. I don't like.
I don't wear socks. I don't I don't like. When's
the last time you wore a pair of socks? I
don't know. Did you ever think you'd be asked that
(24:28):
question on a sports talk radio show? Sure? Why not?
All right? Two pros cup of Joel here Fox Sports Right,
people asked me, did I play play football beer footed?
I did not play football barefooted? Yeah, I mean, like
I'm saying in my spikes, like did I have socks on? Yeah?
I hope so. Yeah, but they were very thin that
(24:50):
didn't mess your feet up at all? Like I don't
know that was like maybe it did. I don't know.
I did end up blowing my killesten't that to me?
Seems like I would need us some comfortable socks, an
apparent cleets. Nobody's walking around in cleats just because they're coming.
I just don't like the barrier between my feet and
my shoe, Like I feel like there's an unnecessary or
(25:11):
unnecessary layer between my foot and my shoe. And and
for for what it's worth, I feel like that about
a shoe. I don't like that in between with the shoe.
I just like my feet to be free. M yeah,
I mean, listen, man, I don't. I don't like my
feet to be in bondage by the system of of
(25:34):
what shoes have created. By the way, this last three
minutes of the show is voted most favorite three minutes
in show history by Rex Ryan. Uh what age just
a bizarre fetish? All right? Um? Coming up next, there's
a you know, a couple of teams in the NFL
(25:56):
in yeah, hold on with your teeth. Would you ever
wear crocs? Okay, it's so funny you brought that up.
I was thinking about it this weekend. How are those comfortable?
But everyone swears everybody sawyers about you know what it is?
I feel like and I could be totally wrong, but
they made them bad boys out of the same materials
(26:17):
that people that that stand at like convenience stores or
stand up behind um like desk and stuff like that,
like that little squire. I think that that's what they
made them. Joints out, yeah, like they or like in
front of a sink, like standing right. So instead of
having to stand on that, we created a shoe for
(26:38):
you to stand in that feels exactly like what that
that cushions and they're like a hippie pilgrim shoes. We
have you worn I've never worn them. If they look
if they want to sponsor throwing a you know, sponsor
opportunity will make that happens. And I learned from up
on game. We're not getting any free love here. Don't
(26:58):
do the free love there. Have you ever worn them?
B No, you kind of look like a cruc. That's
the most insulting thing that you've ever heard on the air.
By the way, Yeah, there's okay, you could go back
to back door still open. No, it's Santa um. If
(27:24):
you're an l A Charger fan and you're waking up
and you're listening on the blowtorch Am five seventy l
A Sports. First of all, you're a Rams fan, You're like,
hey Man, Labar and Brady were right. I give you
guys credit. You guys said the Rams were heading in
the right direction. I was skeptical. Stafford did not play
well yesterday, but they get a win on the road
at Minnesota. Was a tough game. That was a good
(27:44):
quality win told And by the way, Jalen Ramsey versus
Justin Jefferson was a fun matchup to watch. And that's
another one of those. Could have been a taunting foul,
wasn't a taunting foul based off of interpretation. I mean
it's just kind of I don't know, it's just it's
it's the whole. Yeah, the officiating is just puzzling. Every
(28:05):
single very inconsistent. Here's what's puzzling. How the hell did
the Chargers lose in Houston like that yesterday? I mean,
that's embarrassed. I mean they got handled too. They didn't
just lose, they got they got handled. I know that
there was you know, Joey Bosa wasn't in Derwin jail,
Like I I get all that, but you can't I
mean handled hammered. I mean, I don't I don't really understand.
(28:31):
I was trying to comprehend it um because that's one
of those games where you are able to rest your guys,
get in there and get a dub and and get
out of there. Instead of complicating things, you complicated your matters.
You know. It's it's funny because in previous years, what
did we always hear? Because the Charger is like, we're
(28:53):
out here in l A. The Chargers have these like
four or five times a year they have games like
this where it's like really like with that ross her
and that much talent, and that's what you roll out.
The difference is Anthony Lynne got blamed for that for years.
He Anthony Lynn got buried by people all see this
is the problem with Anthony Lynn. It's like when the
(29:13):
Patriots went into into l A last year and hammered him,
and it's like, oh man, this is this is the
issue with Anthony Lynn. The guys aren't ready a well,
what the hell is that? Because they go to Houston,
they're playing a bad football team who has been a
disaster all year against Davis Mills, a rookie mid round
draft pick, and they got knife, like, I mean, all
game like it would it looked terrible. Like I just
(29:35):
if I'm a Charger fan, I come away from that
game going here we go again. Man, it's like the
same old story exau Anthony Lynn is not there to blame.
I mean, it's just it's a bizarre share them and
route them and urge them on at the point, I
don't it's the first time that this is surfacing as
like a big media thing. So maybe that's this is
(29:56):
the first time she's made in public that that there
I them. But you know, I don't really know. I
felt like that was more interesting the storyline of Simone
Bowles being there and coverage. Yeah, you know, well, I
mean what else what else were you what? I'm just no,
just saying that was you know, it was, you know,
(30:17):
courageous for her to show up and and be there
at the game. I just was saying, like I just
wanted to point that out, like I just want to
make that clear. I'm gonna just go back to cancel
culture could come for you on that one. That's one
where canceled culture could. I'm not going to touch that one.
Matt Stafford's wife had to throw a Pretzel at somebody
who was giving him a hard time. If anybody going
to games now, if you're a celebrity like you, you
(30:39):
know you got a lot of things coming your way.
Nothing to do with that, all right, So, uh, I'm
gonna just go back to the field after that. Uh,
Houston seemed to be ready employesed to play a good game.
They have played good games and weeks past, and they
were able to put together against against this Dischargers team.
(31:03):
I find it to be a tad bit concerning, not
that they lost the game, but in the way that
they lost the game. I found to be a tad
big concerned. They were careless with the ball, They weren't
able to win up front, so to speak. Herbert was
seemed off and not not in rhythm. Uh. They just
(31:25):
seemed to be kind of disjointed like they were. They
were not They were not moving in the right direction
as a group yesterday, and that that to me at
this time of the year, that's a tad bit concerning
It's a two pros and a cup of Joe Fox
Sports Radio up next. One team thought they had a
really good idea going into the game yesterday. As it
(31:46):

(33:16):
These are the scraps, And for that we turn it
over to the great lead to Laugh to find out
what the hell we miss A big hair in the scraps,
you guys. A few weeks ago we had reported on
the Dallas Cowboys bringing their own heated benches to Washington
to FedEx Field. Will not to be outdone. When Washington
(33:37):
visited Arlington this weekend, they brought their own heated benches,
even though it's an indoor stadium and eighty degrees. Yeah,
how'd that work out? Well? They got a lot of
airtime for those benches. Maybe that's why Jonathan Allen through
that punch. It was so hot on the bench. He's like, man,
I gotta get off this thing. Let me let me
throw a smoker at this guy and see if I
can land paint that. Let me get off these bench
(33:59):
and poke um in the head because it's so hot
on it. And I was pointing out now, I was
saying aren't these benches really hot? By the way, that
that's so weird, Like why are teams allowed to bring
in their own benches? Isn't part of having a home
field advantage you got to play under the circumstances. Well
that's not that's not true, No, because I can recall
us being at Beaver Stadium freezing our asses off with
(34:21):
aluminum um benches and just a little jet heaters, and
we'd see Michigan or Michigan State over there with the
heat at benches, and they'd be sitting over there, cozy, warm,
bundled up. What was it? Joe Pod just wanted you guys,
it was just different. It's the old school mentality that
(34:41):
we always lost old games. Go figure figure what you guys.
Fort Nitors g M. John Lynch is issuing an apology
for apparently liking a tweet trashing Jimmy g saying that
he unknowingly an accident only like to tweet wall like
probably when that happened. Probably, But by the way, I
(35:04):
like how he dressed it up by saying I was
in a mass with my family, I was in church,
and apparently I like to tweet hey dude, uh while
they're handed out communion. Why don't you log off Twitter? Okay, Like,
what are we talking about here? Well, he's got to
pay attention to what his personnel is doing or what
people are saying about his person I mean, it's it's church.
(35:24):
It was a forty five minutes or an hour. I'm
just saying, you can't be away from the from what's
going on matters that long. You gotta stay connected when
you're the GM. Now, I have accidentally liked to tweet.
I've accidentally followed people. Yeah, I have tweets. I'm ashamed
that I accidentally liked yeah immediately because when you're scrolling
through the like, the like button is like, it's very
(35:48):
easy to hit hit Yeah. You could double tap it
very easily. Unfortunate Jesus, that's a good point. That's accidentally
being why they made it. That is a fair point.
