Speaker 1 (00:01):
Is the best of two pros and a couple of
Joe with Lamar Areas and Rady Quinn and Jonas Knocks
on Fox Sports Radio, We've got a We've got a
champion here. So for people listening on the West coast,
it's a little past three am where we are based
at and hey, there's a champion, was the man, of course.
(00:23):
I mean, listen. Did you see the crowds at that
RAMS Championship parade? My god, I mean you could see
them for miles. You saw those tumbleweeds with Aaron Donald Man. Hey, hey,
pack packed house to see you know, l A's new
superstar team, because you guys are clowning on it right now.
(00:47):
And we talked to Petros about it. It was a
mile long parade track, which I don't know the histories
of parades that that might be the shortest I've ever
heard of Freddie Holiday or any celebrate. That being said,
I saw some early shots it looked like it was
pretty scarce, But then I saw some stuff later on
(01:07):
where it looked like there's more people there. So what
was the actual feedback on on who showed up for it? Um,
I don't know the actual numbers I don't think we'll
ever get the actual real numbers. It's like, you know,
any sporting of that ego to um, I just would
say there were some shots and some some you know,
(01:28):
nifty camera work. I still can't figure out why it was,
why it was at the coliseum. They don't play there anymore,
so so I I don't get it. Why couldn't it
be it sofa wall because you know the coliseums, you
know more l A. This is about l A. Okay,
is definitely l A cool, So then have it. So
if it's about l A, have it in front of it,
in and out, like what are we talking about here?
(01:49):
Like it was it was, it was a disaster. It
won't be a fake. Crowd of the Fries will get cold,
know because he'll be waiting around for somebody to say
something without cursing on pretty to think that any given
point in time there are just as many people in
an in and out draft through line. Yeah, it's look,
(02:16):
I just I mean, it's it's probably easy to to
pick on the Rams. I mean, this is also a
team that you know made at a point that don't
sell your tickets to Niner fans. Whatever you do, don't
say your tickets to Nighters fans. We're not gonna get
outnumbered at our stadium again. And then they were on
a silent count in the second quarter. So I mean,
come on, it's got to start somewhere, Like in Pittsburgh,
(02:42):
it's started with me and Joe Green. It's got to
start somewhere and and and it's like until it starts somewhere,
I mean, who better to start with than Aaron Donald
And and you know, obviously he's not leaving from the
sounds of things we'll get into topically speaking, but why.
I mean, sometimes you have to you have to bring
(03:07):
the community. You have to you know, in business these days,
like and a lot of the classes, the mentorship uh
sessions that I have, the one thing that people drive
home is building your community. And and there's something to
be said about growing and building and branding and expanding
(03:28):
your community. And sometimes, you know what, you got to
start with very low numbers. And that could even you know,
apply or maybe it does apply to a pro pro
football team that happened to win the Super Bowl. So
the h it's not always about the brilliance of what
takes place on the field. It's all about the balance
(03:48):
of all the colleges, all of the different things that
go into the machine to make it work. That turns
out the success and and to me, I think that
that's now got to be something that the front office
of the RAMS are really really focusing in on. You
have a tangible asset that you can now leverage to
grow your community. They obviously have to grow their community
(04:10):
larger than what it is, or pique the interests more
of those who are more passive, passive fans that are
part of that community. Well, it would also help if
you had a couple of politicians when they stepped up
on stage weren't wearing St. Louis Ramps jerseys. That would
probably help to you know, that's I mean, it appeared
to be a St. Louis Ramps jersey. I'm just saying, like, well,
(04:32):
let's sit about mass on this time right, Well, they're well,
they're holding their breath. Come, I need know the rules
out here. That's how that works with all this hate,
this one just started it off. I hated all fifty
cent to start. I'll take full responsibility. Here's here's the reality.
Like they're they're champions, they won. I feel bad for
(04:55):
them not being celebrated the way it should be. Like,
that's that's the that's a tough part. I think as
a as a former athlete, you know, you look at it,
you go, man, all these dudes have been waiting their
entire career for this. Now you know, Whitworth for example,
forty years old, he's been waiting his entire career for this,
finally gets it. And that's the kind of celebration you receive,
(05:16):
you know, Stafford thirty four, Like, you go through that,
you go through all the guys that have been waiting
for this moment. And that's the sad part. Like I
kind of looking at it, just go, you know, but
it is what it is. I mean, it's not gonna
take away the fact that they want. It's not going
to take away anything else from it. It's just they're
not going to receive in that market the type of
reception that you'd get in other cities that are more
(05:38):
about football. And and look, I challenge anyone like as
much as we would to be like, oh well there's
there's a demographic that's really about football. And I'm sure
that's the part portion that that came out. It's just
it's not quite the same to your point, John, as
the politicians are as involved or as excited about it,
you know, they don't think they view it as as
big of a portion of their economy. I mean it
(06:00):
us this year because they had the Super Bowl and
they hosted the NFC Championship game, But in most years,
like they're not going to view it quite the same way.
When you talk about smaller cities with like football season
is it's a cyclical deal where businesses are thriving off
of that or they survive off of that. It's an
entirely different celebration than when they have success because those
(06:21):
businesses are having success along with the team. You know
that the longer their season goes into the playoffs and
it was super Bowl, the better they do. There's a
lot of other markets where it's like that. And obviously
in l A it doesn't really matter, you know, if
the Rams have success or not, it doesn't really matter.
And and and the ms they got taxes and ye,
(06:43):
but even even then that's not enough. You know, already
talking about raising the taxes again about that there's a
lot of taxes they'd be taken from you. It definitely
is um now here's the we're gonna married to l
at her head and she didn't care about you, and
(07:05):
you know if every single time. Um, So, look, we're
gonna get into, you know, the the dirty move by
somebody who put you know, a player who was trying
to negotiate a contract in a terrible spot. We're gonna
get into that here in a few minutes. I do
think it's worth addressing, um the one of the stars
of the parade, Matt Stafford, who was a phenomenal drinker.
(07:27):
But maybe I could tell he's never been in an
earthquake because he doesn't know how to handle things falling
off shelves, like I could just tell, well, I can
just tell like he's he's not really experienced an earthquake
out here. Maybe he's very experienced experience. All right, So
here was Here was Matthew Stafford. Don't dare call him
Matt because his wife will throw a pretzel like you
(07:47):
had a football game. But here was Matthew Stafford yesterday,
just getting after it at the parade. I'm damn happy
to be staying up here with you guys. Come on,
let's go, y'all. I'm gonna bring his a little sun
in hospitality to this. I appreciate you all so much.
(08:09):
You guys have been unbelievable, unbelievable all year, and you
know what, I appreciate you. Yeah, yeah, all right, yeah
all those people. Yeah, uh oh, who cares. I just
(08:36):
the whole plate out like cigars slash Teque, it seems
like it was almost throwing shade at Burrow and Tom
Brady a little bit right, like Burrows like made it
like a meme of himself, you know, smoking cigars after games.
It's so now when someone else does it, it's always like,
all right, when's the last time you saw Matt Stafford
Matt using Matthew Stafford with with a cigar. I can't
(08:58):
think of a time ever outside of these moments right
like after the game or this parade, which again it
was more like a Joe Burrow thing. And then you
look at the celebration. Who's the last quarterback we saw
who won a Super Bowl, who was hammered off te
killer Tom Brady, And so now he's up there and
you're like, all right, dude, I don't understand, by the way,
(09:19):
I don't understand why he needs to have that up
there with him on stage while he's talking. Maybe there's
an endorsement behind it, but it's one of those deals
where like we almost feel like you can let your
guard down and act like that, but in reality, like
what it isn't necessary, Like the dude has been one
of the best people throughout his career and I'm not
saying this makes him like a bad person or anything,
(09:40):
but it just it doesn't seem as genuine and it
doesn't seem necessary, you know what I'm saying, Like you
could still be up there hammered. You don't need to be,
you know, carrying out a bottle with you the whole time.
I just thought it was interesting that I believe that
Matthew Stafford and Brian Kelly had the same speech therapist
or speech southern Southern style of therapist. You know we
(10:05):
are in l A. They don't really use Yeah, I
get it. He's always talked, he's talked that way since
he was in Detroit. It just saved a little heavier
to me. I mean, it just same, Brian Kelly, is
your Pittsburgh accent comes out when you drink. It does
not drink arm He starts the way he starts talking.
(10:28):
It sounds a little bit like a back in Pittsburgh.
How does that Pittsburgh accent? Do not know? I haven't
heard it in quite some time. I've heard it. I
don't know. I'm proud of that. If you did, I
look at that as a badge of honors. But when
the when the camera woman takes a step back and
falls off a nine or ten foot stage, Um, if
(10:51):
you had a couple of options, what do you think
Matt Stafford does? First was get shocked, turned around and
walk away and drink water and act like he didn't
see it happen? In no, you know that was that
was odd? Odd to see how that all played out.
Be b would be uh, jump down yeah, yeah, well
(11:13):
that's a little bit more realistic. Or see jumped down
there and make sure that she's okay because she stepped
back and fell off, hold off a ten foot stage
and hurt yourself to see if somebody else is open
to a good point, save yourself. I don't know, I don't,
I don't know. That's why I'm assuming there was no
crash pad there, because they pulled back on the camera
(11:34):
shot to make sure it was like when you see
somebody the cops finally get to a guy in a
car who's been on a high speed chase and the
guns are drawn. They're like, all right, pull back just
in case something happens. And uh so, I don't know
if she's okay, but I just a lot of people
making frantic movements with their arms and people crowding around.
You saw a couple of people running over there. So
(11:58):
I don't you know, you don't never want to speculate
on something as serious in nature as that is. So
I'm gonna say this. I know for certain she was
not okay initially upon that drop. I know that for
certain something happened that odd, odd situation altogether. But I mean,
so anyways, to the point right, it was a I
(12:22):
mean that cat Matthew Stafford said, oh my god, sipped
his water and walked away like this is not for me. Well,
you gotta get hydrated, you know. If you're gonna booze
and drink the you gotta get hydrated. I just feel
like he's done that before, Like I feel like he's
seen somebody drop off of something before, and that was
(12:43):
his reaction, like, oh my god, like why does this
always happen to me? Not? Oh my god? Felt it's
always me. It was like, oh my gosh, there's always
can't believe this happened to me. Ever again, this always
happen again. Yeah, people falling off the stages around me.
Lego I was falling off on our season or whatever.
(13:04):
Maybe I don't know, he's used to it. 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 Easter three am Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio. Right now,
we turn it over to Albert Breer, senior NFL reporter
(13:24):
at the mm QB. Get him on Twitter at Albert Brier. Albert,
how we feeling? Happy Thursday to you and yours. I'm good,
how you guys doing good? Just hanging out, trying to
figure out if anybody was at this RAMS Championship parade.
I know you made a comment about that. Look we're
out here, Um, I mean you know, not exactly. Uh,
(13:49):
you know, the Lakers in the early two thousand's, we'll
just put it that way, a little a little different
vibe with this one. Yeah, And you know, I think
it's probably a result of twin two years there being
no NFL team there, and you know, people have divided loyalties,
and I mean it's called what it is too. I mean,
it's a little different out there. I think that it
is in the Northeast or the Midwest where the teams
(14:13):
are so ingrained, you know what I mean. Like, I
just I think it's a different deal. And I had
some fun with it yesterday. But it's not a shot
at anybody. It's just I mean, like again, like those
those those that that market isn't Boston, it's not Philadelphia,
it's not Chicago, it's not Cleveland. It's pretty different out there.
I think you'd agree with that, right, Yeah, But you
(14:33):
know people get a little sensitive to that out here.
So that's that's the way this works. Um. I wanted
to ask you on the Sean McVeigh Aaron Donald front
um we were talking about earlier this week. It felt like, yeah,
maybe Aaron Donald's looking to uh to get get a
better deal. Sean McVeigh, maybe he's got a deal on
the table broadcasting wise, what is your expectation what are
you hearing about both those guys potential return of retirement
(14:56):
next year. Yeah, I think we'll see you know, I
think you need a couple of days to kind of
separate from this, and um, you know, they've obviously been
in the euphoria of of everything winning a Super Bowl,
of everything that comes along with it. UM. I think
you know, there's probably been a good portion of that
that's been a little hazy for everybody involved in rightfully.
(15:16):
So um, you know, and then I think, you know,
today is the day when players start to filter out. UM.
You know, the parade yesterday, and I know, uh players,
a lot of coaches are leaving town um today, and
so you know, I think this is when you sort
of get into that period of reflection. And then when
it comes to Sean McVeigh, I I think the time
(15:37):
is eventually gonna come. Maybe it's now, maybe it's not.
When he takes a year or two off, makes good
money and TV um, get some family time. UM, and
you know, then would come wind up coming back at
some point with uh, you know, the ability to be
maybe the hottest coaching candidate in the history of football. UM.
And then with Aaron Donald. I just think it's sort
(15:59):
of the reality where we are with players, you know,
like and it's a good thing as as I see it, um,
you know, and the guys like Calvin Johnson and and
and Patrick Willis have been able to make these decisions.
Rob Gronkowski before he came back is in that category
to where, you know, I think it's really three things.
You know. Number one, UM, guys are cognizant of what
(16:20):
football does their bodies and the long term effects can have.
Number two, Um, guys are making more money, so they've
got more financial flexibility to walk away if they want to.
And in a lot of cases, they're taking better care
of their money, you know. And the number three I think,
you know, guys are looking ahead pass football probably more
commonly than they did thirty or forty years ago. And
(16:42):
so a lot of these guys have an idea of
what they want to do after football. It's less scary
the idea of walking away, you know. So I think
in general, you know, guys have more resources and more
information to make these sorts of decisions. And so, you know,
I think somebody like Aaron Donald, you know, I think
certainly can look at this and say I've taken care
of my money. Um. You know, he's got family considerations too,
(17:04):
same way McVeigh does. And you know, I think that
there is that that that that that piece of him
that is thought to himself, what would it be like
if I walked away? Um? You know, and again like
you know, it's not as wild the decision if if
he were to do it um as it used to be.
You know, Calvin Johnson, I believe, walked away after nine years,
(17:25):
Patrick Willis walked away after eight years, and this would
be eight years for Aaron Donald. So you'd be right
in line with those guys. I guess as you look
at the landscape though of the NFC, do you think
it's not enticing enough to go? Hold on a second,
if Tom Brady Stace retired and if Aaron Rodgers has
to move teams, uh, what's our competition? Right? I mean,
(17:47):
Russell Wilson could be on the move to like you
kind of look around and go, who really is standing
in our way from repeating? Like, wouldn't that be enticing enough? Yeah?
I mean, I I'm with you. A Brady Dallas San Francisco, right,
Like this would be the top ones if you're taking
Green Bay out of the equation. And look, if if
Aaron Rodgers is back, then you know obviously they're right
back in the mix. But I'm with you. I mean,
(18:09):
you look at the next five years in the NFL
and really, um, you know, like the if we want
to tie this to quarterbacks, like a lot of it's
in the a f C. You know, Burrow and Cincinnati,
MA Homes in Kansas City, uh, Milamar in Baltimore, Herbert
in in in l A. And of course Josh Allen
and Buffalo. I mean, it looks a lot like a
lot of the strength you know when it comes to
(18:30):
young quarterbacks in the league is and the other conference.
So I think it would be enticing the idea of
coming back and and and and making one more run
at it. And it wouldn't surprise me either if you know,
a guy like McVeigh or a guy like Aaron Donald
resolves to say, you know, okay, like I'm gonna give
this one more and we'll see if we can go
and repeat, you know, and then after that, I'm gonna
(18:52):
give this a really hard look, you know. And so
for Aaron Donald, and that would be nine years for
Sean McVeigh, you know, like that would be okay. And
I got an opportunity to repeat as a Super Bowl
champion and then imagine what you know, the television setworks,
would would would would be um lining up to give
me after that. So, um, yeah, I mean I think
that that certainly is a consideration, like your ability to repeat.
(19:15):
And I think you know, you have to look at
where the Rams are too, and um, you know, their
ability to bring everybody back. They do have some tough
decisions to make. You know, Stafford is in line for
an extension. Next year is a contract year for him.
Von Miller is a free agent. You know, Odell Beckham
is a free agent too, And you look at the
receiver situation and that's interesting also because now they do
(19:35):
bring Beckham back, then you talk you're talking about having
two receivers coming off of a C L s and
Robert Woods and O'Dell Beckham, and so you know, there
are a lot of questions with where the Rams are
going to coming out of this year. Um, you know,
and I mean, obviously it was all worth it to
win a championship, but I you know, I think you
balanced kind of like some of the challenges that are
(19:56):
head with the head for them with like you said,
like you know where the NFC is and how it
looks like they may have you know, a pretty viable
path to another Super Bowl. Albert Brier, senior NFL reporter
at the MMQB, joining us here on Fox Sports Radio.
It is a two pros and a cup of Joe
here on fs are UM, what is going on with
Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals keeping it in the
(20:18):
NFC West? Um? You know, Chris Mortenson had the report
that came out, you know where there was a source
within the Cardinals organization that called himselfish and immature, etcetera, etcetera.
Kyler Murray defended himself on social media, like, what what
is happening from people you've talked to behind the scenes
there with Kyler and the Arizona Cardinals. You know, it's
(20:38):
hard for me not to tie until like the juncture
of his career. He's at UM and I think that
this is sort of started to happen the last couple
of years, where you know, when you come into that
fourth year UM as a quarterback who goes who was
trapped in the first round, A decision point comes because
that's when you're eligible for your first contract. That's when
the team's got to make a decision on your fifth
(20:59):
year option. And you know, I think a player, you know,
kind of find some hard realities in that. And you know,
how willing is a team to extend for me? Um?
And how like because these guys all here, how a
team is all in for them? Um, when they're draft
in the first round. Well, after three years, you're gonna
find out the truth. You don't see where your team
(21:20):
stands up stands with you. And you know, like whether
or not they're willing to go forward with the contract extension. Um.
You know, like I think that that's a very real question.
And so like the way I look at it, you know,
I I think that the Cardinals are left wanting for
some more from Kyler Murray in certain ways. The talents
all there, there's no question about that. Um. But you know,
(21:44):
I think the questions that that that that have been
raised over the last year or so, are you know,
Kenny Kenny Kenny Canny. Can he be like the guy
in the front of the room? Um? Can he be
a leader? Can he be the guy in the off
season you can count on? And I know it's got
the attention of some guys in that building. When he
didn't show up to some of the offseason program stuff
last year. Now, in his defense, he did plan passing
(22:07):
camps on his own and Arizona and Texas and and
got guys out there to throw with him and everything else.
But I do think there are some questions about him
as a leader and um and I think that they
want to see a little bit more from him in
that department. And I think, yeah, that to the friction,
or that that to the contract situation and whether or
(22:29):
not they're willing to extend him, and maybe what he
might have heard from the team if he and his
agent went to the team and asked for an extension.
And I think you can kind of add those up
and see where the friction might be. Albert, I want
to talk about another quarterback who it's kind of interesting
to see what's gonna happen to him this offseason. Carson
Wentz with the Colts. Uh, it sounds like they might
(22:50):
be looking to move on from him or to get
getting out from underneath some of the money that's owed
to him as well. I'm just here. I mean I
said this yesterday. I kind of stand by it. I
don't know that it makes sense for like them to
look elsewhere or him to really go elsewhere at this point,
maybe they feel like they're done with them. I just
I feel like they're making a kind of rash decision
when he wasn't healthy going into this season and it
(23:11):
was his first year with a lot of the guys
he's working with. Yeah, I mean Brady, I mean for him,
I'm not sure, like if that's if this didn't work,
I don't know what what what will? You know? Like,
I mean, he's got Frank Reich there and you know,
like they've got i mean pretty good infrastructure. You know,
he's got Jonathan Taylor behind him and he he's throwing
(23:33):
to Michael Pittman and and t y Ailton, and um,
I mean, you know, is it is it what like
Tom Brady walked into too on Tampa? Maybe not, but
it's a pretty good situation. And you know, I know
there's real concern over how he faded down the stretch
and and what happened when it mattered most. And you know,
I think the problem the Colts have now is what
(23:55):
they what they saw the last month of the season
correlates like almost perfectly to why Philadelphia wound up giving
up on him. And so I think that's where your
real concern is it's not just you know what happened. Um,
you know, at the end of one, it's the way
that ended for him in Philadelphia. And you know, I
(24:17):
think that that's that that's the issue is like is
this just who he is now? The problem for the
Colch is if it's not Carson Wentz, then what you know,
like where are you turning? And if Aaron Rodgers stays
in Green Bay and I'm not sure you even want
to go to Indianapolis, but you know, if Aaron Rodgers
stays in Green Bay, um, we'll see what happens with
Russell Wilson. Where are your options? Where's your upgrade? And
(24:39):
you know if you if you are looking for an upgrade,
it is going to cost you because you know, here's
a lot of his money for next year is guaranteed.
And so you know, I think you have to sort
of look at this as a value proposition for the Colts.
It's do you give it another shot with Carson Wentz
and see where it's going, or do you attach detach
from him. Just to detach from him, it's gonna coast
(25:00):
you at least fifteen million dollars that's sunk cost um
it's gonna cost you at least fifteen million dollars just
to walk away from him. And so you know, like
that means going and getting Jimmy Garoppolo, Say, let's just
throw his name out there, um for four million, I
think will be the would be the number coming in.
Now you're talking about spending forty one million dollars to
(25:23):
turn over your quarterback position, and it's going in getting
Garoppolo over once really worth it. So I think that's
the way you have to look at it. And I
think that's why there's still a decent chance that once
winds up back in Indianapolis. Even if the Colts you know,
would would would would like to look at some sort
of upgrade, I don't think it's there for them in
(25:43):
the draft. And if you look at the veteran market,
I mean the top options to Shaun Watson, who is
probably not going to be available to them because he's
in their division. Um, So I don't know where that
better option is outside of of going with Carson Wants.
When you consider all the different factors with his contract
and what you'd be bringing in he is Albert Brier,
(26:03):
Senior NFL reporter at the MM QB always kind enough
to join us every single week here on Fox Sports Radio.
Get him on Twitter at Albert Brier and a good
follow this time of year, especially with all the potential
quarterback movement and things around the league. Albert, we appreciate it.
I have a good week a week. Thanks for not
cussing this week. Two weeks I was gonna say, I
(26:24):
can't think clean. I was gonna get it out. See,
I see, I see. I offer it a lot better
at eight a M versus five A Yeah. Well listen,
well listen, I mean we we thought it added a
little bit of an edginess to you, and people were
big fans of it, so you know, we we're good
with it. You know. Hey, well, if you guys want
me to reverse course, I can next week. That there
(26:48):
he is, Albert. We'll do it again next week. Good stuff.
As always, it is a two pros and a cup
of Joe, Fox Sports Radio. You just couldn't let it go,
could you. You had? You had to bust his balls
one last time on the way. What do you admit
it fun to talk about? I mean he covered up
the F bomb and left left out the uh you
know that the bad word for poop. Yeah, I mean,
look the way the dump works. If you're going to
(27:09):
use one that close together, well, I don't think he
meant to use the second one. I thought he was
concerned with how he was a naturally arriving at the
first one, and then you know, kind of got too
comfortable with the second one that came out. Listen, now,
we all make that mistake from time to time. Be
sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and a
Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LaVar Errington and Jonas

Uh so they're trying so he uh he or she
(28:16):
could be she I'm not Um appeared earlier and bet
on the US over Great Britain. Uh said it correctly
this time in men's curling, and um, I'm seeing that
g b R is leading right now five to four.
But I don't know how much time is left. I
don't know what stages is. And I'll be honestly, I
(28:38):
don't know how scoring in curling works, so we're kind
of flying blind. He shuffle boarding, Yeah, but I don't know.
I don't know the scoring is the same. Huh. By
the way, I'm a phenomenal shuffle board. Are you gotta
play really good? I've only seen you shuffle your cards?
Uh in my front pocket. Well that's along the other
(29:02):
sing out standing out for the Chargers game one time. Yeah.
By the way, By the way, that's a huddent got
to be my Halloween costume this year, that charge of
security guard. I just got to find me at the
red trench coat and you know did you chuck your
TV shuffle. Uh no, I did not their head. That
would probably be smart, NOTOD shuffle. You are a class
(29:25):
act found straight straight and the TV strip and the
TV set to the gunner unbelievable. Alright, time for the news, baby,
let's go to the news desk. What here's Brady Quinn? Alright, alright,
this first one isn't really a news story. It's kind
of interesting though, coming off of the back of the
(29:48):
Super Bowl. Um, did you know each of the last
sixteen quarterbacks to lose in their Super Bowl debut have
never made it back the big Oh dang, Joey b Yikes.
That is not a good status. So we're talking like
(30:08):
g Jered Gop, Matt, Ryan, cam Newton obviously, Kaepernick, Rex Grosston,
Matt Hassleback, Donovan mcnap, and Marino. But you had guys
like Rich Gannon, Steve McNair. What's so yeah? And speaking
of Drew Bletts, so huh do you never think he
(30:29):
sits around like, Hey, I'm as good as Tom Brady was.
I just didn't need to get hurt. We would have
won all the same game. He was a good quarterback
and he's doing all right for himself. Now he's got
that winery. And what is it double back? Because that
would double back? It's called double back? Is it called
double back? It's called double ball, you guys. Right, But
(30:51):
but we did say that the name of the one
that was called double back. Yeah, here, I'll have a
bottle right here. All right, travel we got Well, we'll
move on to an actual story. This one is actually
kind of crazy, I'll be honest with you. So an
Ohio couple and their daughter. They're suing a doctor and
(31:13):
a healthcare system. And uh, here's what happened. The couple,
Mike and Janine. They underwent insemination of procedure back in
to fertilize the wife's eggs with the husband sperm. Uh,
only one problem. Come to find out in Christmas of
(31:33):
Jessica and her husband, this is Mike and Jeanine's daughter. Uh.
They went the ancestry dot com. They got the kiss
the kids right ahead of a trip. You know, they're
they're going to Europe and they want to test their
DNA results right to go through their lineage and travel
to different spots. They came to find out that the
father who had raised her was not her biological father.
(31:57):
They're suing the doctor and the hell care system because
obviously there was something messed up when they went through
the process of insemination. I wonder if it was Michael Jordan,
would they still sue. Yeah, well based on the photos, um,
the father's not Michael Jordan. Now is she getting? Is
(32:18):
she gonna try and get a refund for all the
Father's Day gifts she bought and she keeps and that's
going to be a large That's going to be a
large and years of wasted money. They're not going to
be able to pay that settlement. Yeah, how much is
that gonna be? Thinks I don't know the exact amount
of the of the lawsuit, but I mean, what price
tag do you put on effing up my dad? Like
(32:41):
you gave me the wrong dag bastards? I mean, we'll
think about the father though, like the entire time he's
raised hers so that it's like, oh, I'll have a
couple of lawsuits. She's got these quirky things about him,
but that just must come from the mom's side, That
comes from someone. Then I'm looking at the mom like,
(33:02):
were you in on this? Were you in on this?
Who's the daddy. I need to know who's the daddy.
You know, something are not the fun? Yeah, honest, really
didn't have much on this topic. What's up? I just
you know, I'm not really sure. I don't trust any
(33:23):
of those spitting the tube and send it in the
mail sort of you know, arrangements. I just don't trust them.
It feels like it would be a little flawed. Interesting,
you know, like you didn't you do one, Brady, and
he like, okay, my sister did. Apparently we're Italian. We
didn't know that. Interesting I mean, and that e wow,
(33:45):
you're gonna go there, like I just hey, pagnant
Is the best of two pros and a couple of
Joe with Lamar Areas and Rady Quinn and Jonas Knocks
on Fox Sports Radio, We've got a We've got a
champion here. So for people listening on the West coast,
it's a little past three am where we are based
at and hey, there's a champion, was the man, of course.
(00:23):
I mean, listen. Did you see the crowds at that
RAMS Championship parade? My god, I mean you could see
them for miles. You saw those tumbleweeds with Aaron Donald Man. Hey, hey,
pack packed house to see you know, l A's new
superstar team, because you guys are clowning on it right now.
(00:47):
And we talked to Petros about it. It was a
mile long parade track, which I don't know the histories
of parades that that might be the shortest I've ever
heard of Freddie Holiday or any celebrate. That being said,
I saw some early shots it looked like it was
pretty scarce, But then I saw some stuff later on
(01:07):
where it looked like there's more people there. So what
was the actual feedback on on who showed up for it? Um,
I don't know the actual numbers I don't think we'll
ever get the actual real numbers. It's like, you know,
any sporting of that ego to um, I just would
say there were some shots and some some you know,
(01:28):
nifty camera work. I still can't figure out why it was,
why it was at the coliseum. They don't play there anymore,
so so I I don't get it. Why couldn't it
be it sofa wall because you know the coliseums, you
know more l A. This is about l A. Okay,
is definitely l A cool, So then have it. So
if it's about l A, have it in front of it,
in and out, like what are we talking about here?
(01:49):
Like it was it was, it was a disaster. It
won't be a fake. Crowd of the Fries will get cold,
know because he'll be waiting around for somebody to say
something without cursing on pretty to think that any given
point in time there are just as many people in
an in and out draft through line. Yeah, it's look,
(02:16):
I just I mean, it's it's probably easy to to
pick on the Rams. I mean, this is also a
team that you know made at a point that don't
sell your tickets to Niner fans. Whatever you do, don't
say your tickets to Nighters fans. We're not gonna get
outnumbered at our stadium again. And then they were on
a silent count in the second quarter. So I mean,
come on, it's got to start somewhere, Like in Pittsburgh,
(02:42):
it's started with me and Joe Green. It's got to
start somewhere and and and it's like until it starts somewhere,
I mean, who better to start with than Aaron Donald
And and you know, obviously he's not leaving from the
sounds of things we'll get into topically speaking, but why.
I mean, sometimes you have to you have to bring
(03:07):
the community. You have to you know, in business these days,
like and a lot of the classes, the mentorship uh
sessions that I have, the one thing that people drive
home is building your community. And and there's something to
be said about growing and building and branding and expanding
(03:28):
your community. And sometimes, you know what, you got to
start with very low numbers. And that could even you know,
apply or maybe it does apply to a pro pro
football team that happened to win the Super Bowl. So
the h it's not always about the brilliance of what
takes place on the field. It's all about the balance
(03:48):
of all the colleges, all of the different things that
go into the machine to make it work. That turns
out the success and and to me, I think that
that's now got to be something that the front office
of the RAMS are really really focusing in on. You
have a tangible asset that you can now leverage to
grow your community. They obviously have to grow their community
(04:10):
larger than what it is, or pique the interests more
of those who are more passive, passive fans that are
part of that community. Well, it would also help if
you had a couple of politicians when they stepped up
on stage weren't wearing St. Louis Ramps jerseys. That would
probably help to you know, that's I mean, it appeared
to be a St. Louis Ramps jersey. I'm just saying, like, well,
(04:32):
let's sit about mass on this time right, Well, they're well,
they're holding their breath. Come, I need know the rules
out here. That's how that works with all this hate,
this one just started it off. I hated all fifty
cent to start. I'll take full responsibility. Here's here's the reality.
Like they're they're champions, they won. I feel bad for
(04:55):
them not being celebrated the way it should be. Like,
that's that's the that's a tough part. I think as
a as a former athlete, you know, you look at it,
you go, man, all these dudes have been waiting their
entire career for this. Now you know, Whitworth for example,
forty years old, he's been waiting his entire career for this,
finally gets it. And that's the kind of celebration you receive,
(05:16):
you know, Stafford thirty four, Like, you go through that,
you go through all the guys that have been waiting
for this moment. And that's the sad part. Like I
kind of looking at it, just go, you know, but
it is what it is. I mean, it's not gonna
take away the fact that they want. It's not going
to take away anything else from it. It's just they're
not going to receive in that market the type of
reception that you'd get in other cities that are more
(05:38):
about football. And and look, I challenge anyone like as
much as we would to be like, oh well there's
there's a demographic that's really about football. And I'm sure
that's the part portion that that came out. It's just
it's not quite the same to your point, John, as
the politicians are as involved or as excited about it,
you know, they don't think they view it as as
big of a portion of their economy. I mean it
(06:00):
us this year because they had the Super Bowl and
they hosted the NFC Championship game, But in most years,
like they're not going to view it quite the same way.
When you talk about smaller cities with like football season
is it's a cyclical deal where businesses are thriving off
of that or they survive off of that. It's an
entirely different celebration than when they have success because those
(06:21):
businesses are having success along with the team. You know
that the longer their season goes into the playoffs and
it was super Bowl, the better they do. There's a
lot of other markets where it's like that. And obviously
in l A it doesn't really matter, you know, if
the Rams have success or not, it doesn't really matter.
And and and the ms they got taxes and ye,
(06:43):
but even even then that's not enough. You know, already
talking about raising the taxes again about that there's a
lot of taxes they'd be taken from you. It definitely
is um now here's the we're gonna married to l
at her head and she didn't care about you, and
(07:05):
you know if every single time. Um, So, look, we're
gonna get into, you know, the the dirty move by
somebody who put you know, a player who was trying
to negotiate a contract in a terrible spot. We're gonna
get into that here in a few minutes. I do
think it's worth addressing, um the one of the stars
of the parade, Matt Stafford, who was a phenomenal drinker.
(07:27):
But maybe I could tell he's never been in an
earthquake because he doesn't know how to handle things falling
off shelves, like I could just tell, well, I can
just tell like he's he's not really experienced an earthquake
out here. Maybe he's very experienced experience. All right, So
here was Here was Matthew Stafford. Don't dare call him
Matt because his wife will throw a pretzel like you
(07:47):
had a football game. But here was Matthew Stafford yesterday,
just getting after it at the parade. I'm damn happy
to be staying up here with you guys. Come on,
let's go, y'all. I'm gonna bring his a little sun
in hospitality to this. I appreciate you all so much.
(08:09):
You guys have been unbelievable, unbelievable all year, and you
know what, I appreciate you. Yeah, yeah, all right, yeah
all those people. Yeah, uh oh, who cares. I just
(08:36):
the whole plate out like cigars slash Teque, it seems
like it was almost throwing shade at Burrow and Tom
Brady a little bit right, like Burrows like made it
like a meme of himself, you know, smoking cigars after games.
It's so now when someone else does it, it's always like,
all right, when's the last time you saw Matt Stafford
Matt using Matthew Stafford with with a cigar. I can't
(08:58):
think of a time ever outside of these moments right
like after the game or this parade, which again it
was more like a Joe Burrow thing. And then you
look at the celebration. Who's the last quarterback we saw
who won a Super Bowl, who was hammered off te
killer Tom Brady, And so now he's up there and
you're like, all right, dude, I don't understand, by the way,
(09:19):
I don't understand why he needs to have that up
there with him on stage while he's talking. Maybe there's
an endorsement behind it, but it's one of those deals
where like we almost feel like you can let your
guard down and act like that, but in reality, like
what it isn't necessary, Like the dude has been one
of the best people throughout his career and I'm not
saying this makes him like a bad person or anything,
(09:40):
but it just it doesn't seem as genuine and it
doesn't seem necessary, you know what I'm saying, Like you
could still be up there hammered. You don't need to be,
you know, carrying out a bottle with you the whole time.
I just thought it was interesting that I believe that
Matthew Stafford and Brian Kelly had the same speech therapist
or speech southern Southern style of therapist. You know we
(10:05):
are in l A. They don't really use Yeah, I
get it. He's always talked, he's talked that way since
he was in Detroit. It just saved a little heavier
to me. I mean, it just same, Brian Kelly, is
your Pittsburgh accent comes out when you drink. It does
not drink arm He starts the way he starts talking.
(10:28):
It sounds a little bit like a back in Pittsburgh.
How does that Pittsburgh accent? Do not know? I haven't
heard it in quite some time. I've heard it. I
don't know. I'm proud of that. If you did, I
look at that as a badge of honors. But when
the when the camera woman takes a step back and
falls off a nine or ten foot stage, Um, if
(10:51):
you had a couple of options, what do you think
Matt Stafford does? First was get shocked, turned around and
walk away and drink water and act like he didn't
see it happen? In no, you know that was that
was odd? Odd to see how that all played out.
Be b would be uh, jump down yeah, yeah, well
(11:13):
that's a little bit more realistic. Or see jumped down
there and make sure that she's okay because she stepped
back and fell off, hold off a ten foot stage
and hurt yourself to see if somebody else is open
to a good point, save yourself. I don't know, I don't,
I don't know. That's why I'm assuming there was no
crash pad there, because they pulled back on the camera
(11:34):
shot to make sure it was like when you see
somebody the cops finally get to a guy in a
car who's been on a high speed chase and the
guns are drawn. They're like, all right, pull back just
in case something happens. And uh so, I don't know
if she's okay, but I just a lot of people
making frantic movements with their arms and people crowding around.
You saw a couple of people running over there. So
(11:58):
I don't you know, you don't never want to speculate
on something as serious in nature as that is. So
I'm gonna say this. I know for certain she was
not okay initially upon that drop. I know that for
certain something happened that odd, odd situation altogether. But I mean,
so anyways, to the point right, it was a I
(12:22):
mean that cat Matthew Stafford said, oh my god, sipped
his water and walked away like this is not for me. Well,
you gotta get hydrated, you know. If you're gonna booze
and drink the you gotta get hydrated. I just feel
like he's done that before, Like I feel like he's
seen somebody drop off of something before, and that was
(12:43):
his reaction, like, oh my god, like why does this
always happen to me? Not? Oh my god? Felt it's
always me. It was like, oh my gosh, there's always
can't believe this happened to me. Ever again, this always
happen again. Yeah, people falling off the stages around me.
Lego I was falling off on our season or whatever.
(13:04):
Maybe I don't know, he's used to it. 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 Easter three am Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio. Right now,
we turn it over to Albert Breer, senior NFL reporter
(13:24):
at the mm QB. Get him on Twitter at Albert Brier. Albert,
how we feeling? Happy Thursday to you and yours. I'm good,
how you guys doing good? Just hanging out, trying to
figure out if anybody was at this RAMS Championship parade.
I know you made a comment about that. Look we're
out here, Um, I mean you know, not exactly. Uh,
(13:49):
you know, the Lakers in the early two thousand's, we'll
just put it that way, a little a little different
vibe with this one. Yeah, And you know, I think
it's probably a result of twin two years there being
no NFL team there, and you know, people have divided loyalties,
and I mean it's called what it is too. I mean,
it's a little different out there. I think that it
is in the Northeast or the Midwest where the teams
(14:13):
are so ingrained, you know what I mean. Like, I
just I think it's a different deal. And I had
some fun with it yesterday. But it's not a shot
at anybody. It's just I mean, like again, like those
those those that that market isn't Boston, it's not Philadelphia,
it's not Chicago, it's not Cleveland. It's pretty different out there.
I think you'd agree with that, right, Yeah, But you
(14:33):
know people get a little sensitive to that out here.
So that's that's the way this works. Um. I wanted
to ask you on the Sean McVeigh Aaron Donald front
um we were talking about earlier this week. It felt like, yeah,
maybe Aaron Donald's looking to uh to get get a
better deal. Sean McVeigh, maybe he's got a deal on
the table broadcasting wise, what is your expectation what are
you hearing about both those guys potential return of retirement
(14:56):
next year. Yeah, I think we'll see you know, I
think you need a couple of days to kind of
separate from this, and um, you know, they've obviously been
in the euphoria of of everything winning a Super Bowl,
of everything that comes along with it. UM. I think
you know, there's probably been a good portion of that
that's been a little hazy for everybody involved in rightfully.
(15:16):
So um, you know, and then I think, you know,
today is the day when players start to filter out. UM.
You know, the parade yesterday, and I know, uh players,
a lot of coaches are leaving town um today, and
so you know, I think this is when you sort
of get into that period of reflection. And then when
it comes to Sean McVeigh, I I think the time
(15:37):
is eventually gonna come. Maybe it's now, maybe it's not.
When he takes a year or two off, makes good
money and TV um, get some family time. UM, and
you know, then would come wind up coming back at
some point with uh, you know, the ability to be
maybe the hottest coaching candidate in the history of football. UM.
And then with Aaron Donald. I just think it's sort
(15:59):
of the reality where we are with players, you know,
like and it's a good thing as as I see it, um,
you know, and the guys like Calvin Johnson and and
and Patrick Willis have been able to make these decisions.
Rob Gronkowski before he came back is in that category
to where, you know, I think it's really three things.
You know. Number one, UM, guys are cognizant of what
(16:20):
football does their bodies and the long term effects can have.
Number two, Um, guys are making more money, so they've
got more financial flexibility to walk away if they want to.
And in a lot of cases, they're taking better care
of their money, you know. And the number three I think,
you know, guys are looking ahead pass football probably more
commonly than they did thirty or forty years ago. And
(16:42):
so a lot of these guys have an idea of
what they want to do after football. It's less scary
the idea of walking away, you know. So I think
in general, you know, guys have more resources and more
information to make these sorts of decisions. And so, you know,
I think somebody like Aaron Donald, you know, I think
certainly can look at this and say I've taken care
of my money. Um. You know, he's got family considerations too,
(17:04):
same way McVeigh does. And you know, I think that
there is that that that that that piece of him
that is thought to himself, what would it be like
if I walked away? Um? You know, and again like
you know, it's not as wild the decision if if
he were to do it um as it used to be.
You know, Calvin Johnson, I believe, walked away after nine years,
(17:25):
Patrick Willis walked away after eight years, and this would
be eight years for Aaron Donald. So you'd be right
in line with those guys. I guess as you look
at the landscape though of the NFC, do you think
it's not enticing enough to go? Hold on a second,
if Tom Brady Stace retired and if Aaron Rodgers has
to move teams, uh, what's our competition? Right? I mean,
(17:47):
Russell Wilson could be on the move to like you
kind of look around and go, who really is standing
in our way from repeating? Like, wouldn't that be enticing enough? Yeah?
I mean, I I'm with you. A Brady Dallas San Francisco, right,
Like this would be the top ones if you're taking
Green Bay out of the equation. And look, if if
Aaron Rodgers is back, then you know obviously they're right
back in the mix. But I'm with you. I mean,
(18:09):
you look at the next five years in the NFL
and really, um, you know, like the if we want
to tie this to quarterbacks, like a lot of it's
in the a f C. You know, Burrow and Cincinnati,
MA Homes in Kansas City, uh, Milamar in Baltimore, Herbert
in in in l A. And of course Josh Allen
and Buffalo. I mean, it looks a lot like a
lot of the strength you know when it comes to
(18:30):
young quarterbacks in the league is and the other conference.
So I think it would be enticing the idea of
coming back and and and and making one more run
at it. And it wouldn't surprise me either if you know,
a guy like McVeigh or a guy like Aaron Donald
resolves to say, you know, okay, like I'm gonna give
this one more and we'll see if we can go
and repeat, you know, and then after that, I'm gonna
(18:52):
give this a really hard look, you know. And so
for Aaron Donald, and that would be nine years for
Sean McVeigh, you know, like that would be okay. And
I got an opportunity to repeat as a Super Bowl
champion and then imagine what you know, the television setworks,
would would would would be um lining up to give
me after that. So, um, yeah, I mean I think
that that certainly is a consideration, like your ability to repeat.
(19:15):
And I think you know, you have to look at
where the Rams are too, and um, you know, their
ability to bring everybody back. They do have some tough
decisions to make. You know, Stafford is in line for
an extension. Next year is a contract year for him.
Von Miller is a free agent. You know, Odell Beckham
is a free agent too, And you look at the
receiver situation and that's interesting also because now they do
(19:35):
bring Beckham back, then you talk you're talking about having
two receivers coming off of a C L s and
Robert Woods and O'Dell Beckham, and so you know, there
are a lot of questions with where the Rams are
going to coming out of this year. Um, you know,
and I mean, obviously it was all worth it to
win a championship, but I you know, I think you
balanced kind of like some of the challenges that are
(19:56):
head with the head for them with like you said,
like you know where the NFC is and how it
looks like they may have you know, a pretty viable
path to another Super Bowl. Albert Brier, senior NFL reporter
at the MMQB, joining us here on Fox Sports Radio.
It is a two pros and a cup of Joe
here on fs are UM, what is going on with
Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals keeping it in the
(20:18):
NFC West? Um? You know, Chris Mortenson had the report
that came out, you know where there was a source
within the Cardinals organization that called himselfish and immature, etcetera, etcetera.
Kyler Murray defended himself on social media, like, what what
is happening from people you've talked to behind the scenes
there with Kyler and the Arizona Cardinals. You know, it's
(20:38):
hard for me not to tie until like the juncture
of his career. He's at UM and I think that
this is sort of started to happen the last couple
of years, where you know, when you come into that
fourth year UM as a quarterback who goes who was
trapped in the first round, A decision point comes because
that's when you're eligible for your first contract. That's when
the team's got to make a decision on your fifth
(20:59):
year option. And you know, I think a player, you know,
kind of find some hard realities in that. And you know,
how willing is a team to extend for me? Um?
And how like because these guys all here, how a
team is all in for them? Um, when they're draft
in the first round. Well, after three years, you're gonna
find out the truth. You don't see where your team
(21:20):
stands up stands with you. And you know, like whether
or not they're willing to go forward with the contract extension. Um.
You know, like I think that that's a very real question.
And so like the way I look at it, you know,
I I think that the Cardinals are left wanting for
some more from Kyler Murray in certain ways. The talents
all there, there's no question about that. Um. But you know,
(21:44):
I think the questions that that that that have been
raised over the last year or so, are you know,
Kenny Kenny Kenny Canny. Can he be like the guy
in the front of the room? Um? Can he be
a leader? Can he be the guy in the off
season you can count on? And I know it's got
the attention of some guys in that building. When he
didn't show up to some of the offseason program stuff
last year. Now, in his defense, he did plan passing
(22:07):
camps on his own and Arizona and Texas and and
got guys out there to throw with him and everything else.
But I do think there are some questions about him
as a leader and um and I think that they
want to see a little bit more from him in
that department. And I think, yeah, that to the friction,
or that that to the contract situation and whether or
(22:29):
not they're willing to extend him, and maybe what he
might have heard from the team if he and his
agent went to the team and asked for an extension.
And I think you can kind of add those up
and see where the friction might be. Albert, I want
to talk about another quarterback who it's kind of interesting
to see what's gonna happen to him this offseason. Carson
Wentz with the Colts. Uh, it sounds like they might
(22:50):
be looking to move on from him or to get
getting out from underneath some of the money that's owed
to him as well. I'm just here. I mean I
said this yesterday. I kind of stand by it. I
don't know that it makes sense for like them to
look elsewhere or him to really go elsewhere at this point,
maybe they feel like they're done with them. I just
I feel like they're making a kind of rash decision
when he wasn't healthy going into this season and it
(23:11):
was his first year with a lot of the guys
he's working with. Yeah, I mean Brady, I mean for him,
I'm not sure, like if that's if this didn't work,
I don't know what what what will? You know? Like,
I mean, he's got Frank Reich there and you know,
like they've got i mean pretty good infrastructure. You know,
he's got Jonathan Taylor behind him and he he's throwing
(23:33):
to Michael Pittman and and t y Ailton, and um,
I mean, you know, is it is it what like
Tom Brady walked into too on Tampa? Maybe not, but
it's a pretty good situation. And you know, I know
there's real concern over how he faded down the stretch
and and what happened when it mattered most. And you know,
I think the problem the Colts have now is what
(23:55):
they what they saw the last month of the season
correlates like almost perfectly to why Philadelphia wound up giving
up on him. And so I think that's where your
real concern is it's not just you know what happened. Um,
you know, at the end of one, it's the way
that ended for him in Philadelphia. And you know, I
(24:17):
think that that's that that's the issue is like is
this just who he is now? The problem for the
Colch is if it's not Carson Wentz, then what you know,
like where are you turning? And if Aaron Rodgers stays
in Green Bay and I'm not sure you even want
to go to Indianapolis, but you know, if Aaron Rodgers
stays in Green Bay, um, we'll see what happens with
Russell Wilson. Where are your options? Where's your upgrade? And
(24:39):
you know if you if you are looking for an upgrade,
it is going to cost you because you know, here's
a lot of his money for next year is guaranteed.
And so you know, I think you have to sort
of look at this as a value proposition for the Colts.
It's do you give it another shot with Carson Wentz
and see where it's going, or do you attach detach
from him. Just to detach from him, it's gonna coast
(25:00):
you at least fifteen million dollars that's sunk cost um
it's gonna cost you at least fifteen million dollars just
to walk away from him. And so you know, like
that means going and getting Jimmy Garoppolo, Say, let's just
throw his name out there, um for four million, I
think will be the would be the number coming in.
Now you're talking about spending forty one million dollars to
(25:23):
turn over your quarterback position, and it's going in getting
Garoppolo over once really worth it. So I think that's
the way you have to look at it. And I
think that's why there's still a decent chance that once
winds up back in Indianapolis. Even if the Colts you know,
would would would would like to look at some sort
of upgrade, I don't think it's there for them in
(25:43):
the draft. And if you look at the veteran market,
I mean the top options to Shaun Watson, who is
probably not going to be available to them because he's
in their division. Um, So I don't know where that
better option is outside of of going with Carson Wants.
When you consider all the different factors with his contract
and what you'd be bringing in he is Albert Brier,
(26:03):
Senior NFL reporter at the MM QB always kind enough
to join us every single week here on Fox Sports Radio.
Get him on Twitter at Albert Brier and a good
follow this time of year, especially with all the potential
quarterback movement and things around the league. Albert, we appreciate it.
I have a good week a week. Thanks for not
cussing this week. Two weeks I was gonna say, I
(26:24):
can't think clean. I was gonna get it out. See,
I see, I see. I offer it a lot better
at eight a M versus five A Yeah. Well listen,
well listen, I mean we we thought it added a
little bit of an edginess to you, and people were
big fans of it, so you know, we we're good
with it. You know. Hey, well, if you guys want
me to reverse course, I can next week. That there
(26:48):
he is, Albert. We'll do it again next week. Good stuff.
As always, it is a two pros and a cup
of Joe, Fox Sports Radio. You just couldn't let it go,
could you. You had? You had to bust his balls
one last time on the way. What do you admit
it fun to talk about? I mean he covered up
the F bomb and left left out the uh you
know that the bad word for poop. Yeah, I mean,
look the way the dump works. If you're going to
(27:09):
use one that close together, well, I don't think he
meant to use the second one. I thought he was
concerned with how he was a naturally arriving at the
first one, and then you know, kind of got too
comfortable with the second one that came out. Listen, now,
we all make that mistake from time to time. Be
sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and a
Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LaVar Errington and Jonas

this time in men's curling, and um, I'm seeing that
g b R is leading right now five to four.
But I don't know how much time is left. I
don't know what stages is. And I'll be honestly, I
(28:38):
don't know how scoring in curling works, so we're kind
of flying blind. He shuffle boarding, Yeah, but I don't know.
I don't know the scoring is the same. Huh. By
the way, I'm a phenomenal shuffle board. Are you gotta
play really good? I've only seen you shuffle your cards?
Uh in my front pocket. Well that's along the other
(29:02):

would probably be smart, NOTOD shuffle. You are a class
(29:25):
act found straight straight and the TV strip and the
TV set to the gunner unbelievable. Alright, time for the news, baby,
let's go to the news desk. What here's Brady Quinn? Alright, alright,
this first one isn't really a news story. It's kind
of interesting though, coming off of the back of the
(29:48):
Super Bowl. Um, did you know each of the last
sixteen quarterbacks to lose in their Super Bowl debut have
never made it back the big Oh dang, Joey b Yikes.
That is not a good status. So we're talking like
(30:08):
g Jered Gop, Matt, Ryan, cam Newton obviously, Kaepernick, Rex Grosston,
Matt Hassleback, Donovan mcnap, and Marino. But you had guys
like Rich Gannon, Steve McNair. What's so yeah? And speaking
of Drew Bletts, so huh do you never think he
(30:29):
sits around like, Hey, I'm as good as Tom Brady was.
I just didn't need to get hurt. We would have
won all the same game. He was a good quarterback
and he's doing all right for himself. Now he's got
that winery. And what is it double back? Because that
would double back? It's called double back? Is it called
double back? It's called double ball, you guys. Right, But
(30:51):
but we did say that the name of the one
that was called double back. Yeah, here, I'll have a
bottle right here. All right, travel we got Well, we'll
move on to an actual story. This one is actually
kind of crazy, I'll be honest with you. So an
Ohio couple and their daughter. They're suing a doctor and
(31:13):
a healthcare system. And uh, here's what happened. The couple,
Mike and Janine. They underwent insemination of procedure back in
to fertilize the wife's eggs with the husband sperm. Uh,
only one problem. Come to find out in Christmas of
(31:33):
Jessica and her husband, this is Mike and Jeanine's daughter. Uh.
They went the ancestry dot com. They got the kiss
the kids right ahead of a trip. You know, they're
they're going to Europe and they want to test their
DNA results right to go through their lineage and travel
to different spots. They came to find out that the
father who had raised her was not her biological father.
(31:57):
They're suing the doctor and the hell care system because
obviously there was something messed up when they went through
the process of insemination. I wonder if it was Michael Jordan,
would they still sue. Yeah, well based on the photos, um,
the father's not Michael Jordan. Now is she getting? Is
(32:18):
she gonna try and get a refund for all the
Father's Day gifts she bought and she keeps and that's
going to be a large That's going to be a
large and years of wasted money. They're not going to
be able to pay that settlement. Yeah, how much is
that gonna be? Thinks I don't know the exact amount
of the of the lawsuit, but I mean, what price
tag do you put on effing up my dad? Like
(32:41):
you gave me the wrong dag bastards? I mean, we'll
think about the father though, like the entire time he's
raised hers so that it's like, oh, I'll have a
couple of lawsuits. She's got these quirky things about him,
but that just must come from the mom's side, That
comes from someone. Then I'm looking at the mom like,
(33:02):
were you in on this? Were you in on this?
Who's the daddy. I need to know who's the daddy.
You know, something are not the fun? Yeah, honest, really
didn't have much on this topic. What's up? I just
you know, I'm not really sure. I don't trust any
(33:23):
of those spitting the tube and send it in the
mail sort of you know, arrangements. I just don't trust them.
It feels like it would be a little flawed. Interesting,
you know, like you didn't you do one, Brady, and
he like, okay, my sister did. Apparently we're Italian. We
didn't know that. Interesting I mean, and that e wow,
(33:45):
you're gonna go there, like I just hey, pagnant
