you know, a day of the week it is. It's
a damn football Friday. Yeah, Friday, Yeah Friday. Yeah, hit
(01:33):
thrust gyrations, hands behind the head. I mean, this is
this is what we do on a football Friday, right guys.
Yeah yeah, all right. So we have got a situation
in the NFL. We were talking about this earlier, the
Deshaun Watson saga. Apparently, according to Mike Florio, Brady's guy.
Mike Florio reported that several teams are still willing to
(01:59):
deal for Deshaun Watson as long as the criminal cases
against him are resolved. So the civil side of things
would still be out there. Whether the league does anything
or gets involved and tries to punish him after the fact,
who knows. But there are teams willing to make a
deal for Deshaun Watson. Now, his current team, the Houston Texans.
They have a brand new head coach and is Lovey Smith.
(02:21):
You know, I'm sure Brian Floor is not thrilled about
that still. But Lovey Smith spoke about the situation involving
Deshaun Watson. Uh. This was on the Rich eis And Show,
and Lovey Smith talked about Watson, the situation he took
in and where they stand as an organization, you don't
give out starting positions in the in the spring. But
(02:43):
I mean as I say it, I love what Davis
has done. He's our quarterback going into the season, like
all guys like you know, hopefully you know some of
our best players that played last year. You know, new
coaching staff starting in but uh, you know, replacing our
core of back. There are a lot of things positions
I'm worried about. Quarterback is not one of you know,
(03:04):
I've had contact with, you know, from just being in
the building. I don't really know Deshan that way, you know,
since he wasn't really involved last year. I know about
his his background and his history as a football player.
That part I know, of course. I know most people
want to know what's gonna happen with that. Time takes
care of a lot of things, and time will take
(03:25):
care of that situation two where it is a favorable
situation for Deshan and coming in as a new head
football coach. We want to put the best football team
on the field, and uh, you know some of the
things where the quest mark on what's gonna happen, And yeah,
I can't wait for all of that to get settled.
And we can kind of move on from there. So
the Houston Texans and love You Smith are like, yeah,
(03:46):
let's go ahead and wrap this up. Um this I
credit the Texans because they're no longer at the point
to where they're like, all right, we're gonna try and
convince this guy too want to stay here. They're just like,
we're moving on. Davis Mills is our guy and we
got to move forward. So so screw it, let's get
a deal done and let's just walk out and uh
and get over this whole thing. It's two regimes now, yeah,
I mean think about it. You went through David Coley.
(04:07):
You hired him, and you knew after the season back
dating back the twenty heading in that Deshaun Watson didn't
want to play and they're hoping they could convince him.
David Coley gets hired at the end of January and
that didn't change course or change plans for for Deshaun Watson.
And now you've moved on from David Coley, You've elevated
Lovey Smith and he's probably like, dude, I've been here
(04:30):
through this already for a year. As the assistant head
coach at d C I don't want to do this again,
Like there's enough on your play as a head coach.
I don't wanna have to deal with this. I am
sure that was one of the things he probably talked
to Nickissario about, is like, like, I know you want
to get your fair you know, compensation for trading away
Toshaun Watson, but at some point you gotta rip the
(04:52):
band aid off and move on. And you got you gotta.
I don't wanna say cut your losses, but you you've
got to move on from this so that this organization,
sation can move on. That He handled that that response
as well as anyone could handle a response in this scenario.
I think he definitively diffused the situation and gave gave direction,
(05:19):
which is is commendable. I wonder was David Culley in
the same situation to be able to speak confidently and
and strategically and methodically um in terms of getting through
the conversation about what do you do as it applies
to Deshaun Watson. I don't know. I almost feel as
(05:40):
though David Culley's job rested on his ability or inability
to get Deshaun Watson to stay with that team. I
almost feel like that was that was the door prize
or that was the ultimate prize for him getting that opportunity,
and there there will be no other reason why you
(06:01):
would say we're going to go in a different direction
from David Culley based upon what what they didn't do
this past season. So now you incomes Lovey Smith and
it's like, all right, we thought we could salvage this
situation with Deshaun Watson, and we're clearly not going to.
So you know what, Lovey, do what you need to do,
(06:22):
do what needs to be done. And he's speaking with
a different level of confidence. But give him credit in
the situation where he put it the bid and he
defused what could be considered to to still be a
toxic type of scenario where you feel like, you know,
we felt like the Houston Texans were being held hostage.
(06:42):
I mean I think I did you know? And and
now I think he puts that the rest that there's
not a hostage situation um taking place in Houston anymore.
Before last season, would you guys say that Deshaun Watson
was one if you asked, you know, thirty two general
managers around the league. If you're starting your France ties
with a quarterback. How many quarterbacks would you have taken
(07:02):
before you get to Watson? Man? Two or three? Maybe many? Yeah?
So yeah, like it just before last season, Like if
you're starting a franchise, maybe two or three quarterbacks you
would take before Deshaun Watson. And I was thinking about
this earlier. It's almost like, I mean, he missed an
entire season in his prime. It like it's almost unprecedented
(07:25):
what we're seeing with this whole situation, and you take
two or three before him. I agree, I agree, And
in his prime missed an entire season and may still
miss more time this year, depending on what happens with
this legal stuff. And it's almost like people just sort
of moved on, like well, you know, like it wasn't
(07:46):
really a topic of conversation last year. There wasn't really
this discussion about, man, you know what a Deshaun Watson.
It's like we just found other things that we you know,
discussed in football at their conversation to other topics. And
I don't know if this goes into the same realm
of man, that's how healthy the game is that you
can lose a quarterback in his prime. One of the
top two or three quarterbacks in the league and we
(08:07):
just continue on with our day and not even worry
about it, like he's gonna possibly miss more time and
he's one of the best players in the league. It's
just the river side. It's but it's cremide. It's called moved.
Moved the drill fifteen yards of field, that's what it's called.
What LaVar is referring to is when there's an injury
(08:27):
in practice, right man goes down, they literally just say riverside,
and they're like, you'll just turn your backs to the
injury and just go the other way. The offense will
literally go the other one, so santay to basically, I mean,
I don't think they riversided and the horse just bring
out the white. You'll be wagon all that thing out
(08:50):
of there. You're in class at all, right, whereas the
nearest elmer's glue. Man, what a classy statement to make.
But it can recall it was at bar in the stall.
Can you recall, um, can you recall a time where
there's just been a player in his prime that's just
completely gone for an entire year Like that's it. Like
(09:13):
I'm trying to think what the compass me Lean Bell.
I think Levian Bell is the closest now, not for
any issues other than the fact that he didn't want
to play under a second year under the franchise tag,
knowing what was going to happen to him, you know.
But he's the only player that comes to mind that
chose to sit out and forego a year that you
(09:33):
can make the case based on what he had done
in Pittsburgh at that point was in his prime or
it was at least playing at the top of the league.
When you look at touches production, those sorts of things.
I mean, maybe Bo Jackson rolling out, you know, playing
baseball instead of going, you know, plant for the team
that that wanted him. Yeah, I mean, that would probably
(09:55):
be the closest thing equivalent to impact out a player
would have that didn't want to play for the team
that wanted oneed his his services. I mean Deshaun Watson,
Deshaun Watson was was was really playing at such a
high level that when you were when you were looking
(10:17):
at where this Texans team was was achieving and how
they were getting things done. I mean you you thought
that they were almost like I mean, I felt like
they were on the cusp of of being able to
put it to you like this. We were a little
bit further ahead and what we were saying about Deshaun
(10:38):
Watson than what we're saying about maybe the quarterback in Baltimore, baby,
the quarterback in Buffalo. Like, I think we were more
we were as as media. We were more defined in
saying that Deshaun Watson can take this Houston Texas team
into the next level, the next phase of what this
(11:00):
franchise could possibly be, which is a super Bowl contender.
And now without the services of Deshaun Watson, the team
is has has has a true rebuild, and that shows
the impact that he had on that that organization and
that franchise. I just wonder can he be that guy again?
(11:22):
And I know, talent wise, I don't think that his
talent has gone anywhere, but I think so many times
we don't take into consideration the emotional and mental impact
and effect of missing a season and and furthermore, this
is this is worse than an injury. This is this
(11:43):
is more based off of circumstance of his own. You know,
it's it's it's his personal life, personal deal. We get
a and this is what you know, and I don't
care who it is. It's a professional athletes, celebrity, et cetera,
unless they want to advertise that, and they're so on
media platforms or via reality TV show. There's some things
(12:04):
that are lives we don't want to make public. This, obviously,
with what he was doing, was something that when you
hear from players that played with them, they knew what
was going on for a while or they had heard
something in this sort and it's something that came to
light all of a sudden. But and I said this
a while ago, I think, uh an interesting comparison. And look,
(12:27):
it's not that Tiger Woods did anything close to this,
but his private life became public and it it felt
like he never could really feel the same playing golf
in a public setting because all of all of his
laundry was out there, like people got to see what
was happening that you have to see his dirty laundry,
(12:50):
basketballs and and there's an element of that too with
Deshaun Watson, where granted, you know, you don't have guys
standing five ft from you on a T box who
are maybe whispering or saying stuff or whatever else. Right,
it's not like that when you play football, but you're
around fans, you know, you hear when you go to
the bench, You're gonna hear all these things. It's gonna
be different form moving forward. When he comes back and
(13:12):
he's in the limelight, He's not only gonna have to
answer to it depending on what happens, he's gonna have
to deal with it for the rest of his career.
And so to LaVar's point, the emotional the psychological portion
of it, like will he be the same player? I
personally feel like regardless of where he goes it is
a big question mark. Yeah, And it's not losing the
(13:33):
invincibility like Tiger lost that invincibility. It's like you're looking
at victory red meant something different. I's going to go
a little further to know that. Uh yeah, that's that
concludes our preview of the Masters here on Fox Sports
(13:56):
Radio as we get ready for h for August and
a couple of months. Unbelievable, just class through and through that.
Brady Quinn, I don't I don't know. I don't know.

why I discover off herself for US based representatives available

There's been a lot of speculation about what happens next,
a major move in the world of sports. We'll get
into the very latest right here Fox Sports Radio. Be

Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, Lavarre Errington and Jonas
knocks week days at six am Eastern, three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio. Two
Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio, LaVar
aer Tim, Brady Quinn, Jonas knocks with you here on
fs ARE. A little system of a down in honor
(15:05):
of a live bet Jesus winning an Armenian Premier League
soccer earlier. About that, all makes sense? Right, all comes together?
All right? We have got a developing story in the NFL.
There's some major news reports out there about a changing
landscape in the world of sports, and we'll have that
(15:27):
for year on fs are we were talking about the
uh that's coming about ten minutes from now. We're talking
about the Deshaun Watson stuff. Um, I do have some
bettable odds on Deshaun Watson's next team. You guys want
you guys want to like it. You guys want to
take a crack at who's the the the favorite or
(15:48):
who are amongst the favorites here? Alright, sot some some
games and some game show music please here. I mean,
whatever you choose, if it it is saved there, it
is all right to the way we go and that
we have the bettable odds here on Fox Sports. Rade.
Al right, so we're going to alternate. Uh, you know,
we'll give out a few of these. Um, LaVar Rington,
(16:09):
you want to go first? Mr ober Unders, what are
you thinking of? Commanders? All right? They are the favorite
is on the board plus three hundred disaccording to DraftKings
plus second. Yeah, we talked about this yesterday and honestly,
like a moment of being real with you all, when
I said it, it it came out of mouth. I was like,
(16:30):
oh gosh, I don't want to get in trouble for
saying that given everything that's going on with the Washington commanders. Yeah,
I really thought, like, I don't know, that might have
been too controversies or one. Brady, you're one correct. How
are they the favorites because that's the whole point of Washington. Yes, like, yeah,
(16:54):
that's the whole point. Yeah, maybe you're right. I mean
maybe maybe that's a bigger discussion to it's a bigger
discussed world, right, I mean it was like, hey, don't
look over here, look one over here. Yeah, it would
be like you probably wouldn't want to bring him to
the Patriots based on Bob Craft's history at you know
what I mean, like just you know, Washington's got their
(17:14):
own issues. Doesn't make sense, but they are the favorites
something in common. Yeah. Yeah, it's a group of lamar
that's a good point. Yeah, that's fair. Uh, if anybody
can help it with the you know kind of like
you know, the therapy of it. Yeah, back on this one.
(17:41):
I'm going with the Philadelphia Eagles. It was Lee's Mike
on there all right, So here we go. So you're
the Philadelphia Eagles. Scroll down, scroll down, scroll the Eagles
are a long way off. They are actually plus two thousand,
twenty to one odds. The Eagles Severn've got the draft capital,
(18:01):
I know, and it's outside the a f C. So
it seems like that would make some sense. And they've
got a history with bringing in Mike Vick after all
his issues. They've got a history of dealing with this.
So I think for me, well then let's keep the party.
Come on the bar, Come get Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Steelers
are third, alright, they are nine to one, nine to
(18:24):
one to land Deshaun Watson, the Pittsburgh who in Miami. Yeah, no,
it's a good point of Brian Flores and um so
you've got the the Pittsburgh Steelers there. These are the
odds according to Draft Kings to land Deshaun Watson based
on the reports according to Mike Florio, again must reiterate
(18:45):
Brady's guy, Mike Florio, who was saying that despite all
the legal issues, teams are still interested in trading for him.
All right, Brady, you want to give another swing at this.
I think this is might be cheating because I saw
the Bucks. That's all Bucks reporting this. Ibmould say that's
by Bucks they're sit again plus three fifty right behind
the Washington Commandos the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at plus three.
(19:09):
I mean, do they I don't. I mean do you
think do you think Bruce Arians wants to deal with
that based on the year he just had with you know, yeah?
Like it just I mean it feels like Bruce Arians,
you know, maybe wants to get some of the credit
back and uh, you know, maybe he would more prefer
(19:30):
a Blaine gabtt you know, like kind of show people.
You know, it wasn't all Tom Brady here all right,
you know, I know how to coach. His team's got
some talent to I think maybe they're a little ego
play there from Bruce arians final years head coach. I mean,
I'm not jumping at you think it's his final year. Yeah,
I don't think he coaches past this year. I think
he's gone. Why would you just retire? Now? Then? Look,
I agree, I I figured he would, but maybe he
(19:52):
wants to prove that, you know, he can go out
with a winning season and it's not just about Tom.
I mean, is it possible to say we get carried
away with that that sentiment or that thought process. I
can do it without this person, you know, is it
is it? Is it just a tad bit possible that
we get kind of carried away with that. Like Bruce
(20:13):
arians has multiple super Bowl championships, He's got one. As
an assistant, he's got one. As as as a head coach.
He's very well accomplished, he's very well respected. At this point.
I don't know that that would be his true motivation
for continuing the coach is to prove it wrong that
Tom Brady wasn't the reason why he was able to
(20:34):
have success in Tampa Bay. I will, however, say this,
if you're a coach, it's so funny because I'm I'm
taking up, I'm picking my whistle back up again, so
I'll be the defensive coordinator um for my my son's
team this year. Yeah, so all right, I'm gonna go
back into it. And I was at the coaches meeting,
(20:57):
you know, the initial coaches meeting. Congratulations. That's not the
point here. Let me get let me get speech. You're saying, no, no,
it wasn't. I mean the figure of picking my whistle
back up, because I didn't literally pick my whistle back
up yesterday. You know what I mean. I just you know. Anyway,
here's the point. The point that I'm making is in
(21:19):
these situations and as it applies to Bruce Arians, but
as it applies to Deshaun Watson as well. These coaches
want to win. But you know what else coaches want
to do. They want to impact lives. And so now
that I'm like getting into my coaching, my coaching like
body and my coaching mindset, you know what a coach
(21:41):
is probably thinking about as it applies to bringing DeShawn
Watson in. I can be a positive influence on this
man's life. The one thing about coaching is when you
know what you're coaching or what you're up against in
terms of your your guys, which is one of the
(22:02):
most important aspects of being a coach is understanding having
an idea of what you're up against in terms of
the personality makeups and emotional makeups of the guys that
you're you're leading and you're guiding and you're teaching. And
so to me, I think that the natural approach, even
(22:23):
even in a Bruce Arians situation, the natural approaches. He's
not looking at Deshaun Watson as if he's Antonio Brown.
He's looking at Deshaun Watson as someone who probably needs
a a stable figure um, someone who can talk to
him straight, which Bruce arians is known to be that
(22:45):
type of coach um, someone that can relate to Deshaun Watson,
which Byron left, Which would be who would be a
more perfect fit to relate to Deshaun Watson on not
only a a coaches level, but on a hair level
as well. In some regards, I think that if you're
looking at it from that perspective of regardless of what
(23:08):
the if the conclusion is that of Deshaun Watson being
able to play, then you would have to assume now
the scenario becomes the reform of of his his name,
the rebuild and and and the reform of his brand.
And what better way to do that than to have
(23:29):
the most supportive people around you. I think if things
don't go exactly away their plan, when Deshaun Watson comes back,
it's gonna be more important for him to have people
around him that are into supporting him versus versus putting
him out there. And if feeling as though his mess
(23:49):
ups and his shortcomings coming back as a player are
going to be amplified in a way that aren't aren't
muffled or doled out by the coaching staff that's around him. Yeah,
here's my question, not not to completely change a different direction,
but is Bruce Arians a Hall of Fame coach? There
has to be. I don't know. Is there are dar
(24:12):
any Hall of Fame coaches that haven't won a Super Bowl?
I don't believe so. But pick for Meal just got
in right, and he's actually gonna go in as an
Eagle as opposed to being part of the Rams where
he actually won his Super Bowl or Kansas City where
he coached thereafter. But Dick for Meal, now he's he
coached as a head coach a lot longer um than
(24:33):
Bruce Arians has as a head coach, but his overall
win percentage is five with one Super Bowl. He's one,
and he went to the playoffs, uh six times if
you include the obviously the Super Bowl run Bruce Arians,
who hasn't coached nearly as long um. And there is
like the unofficial you know, win percentage that he gets
(24:57):
from the time when he took over in Indianapolis, which
all only got him the Arizona Cardinal's head coaching job.
But he's at six thirty five. Right, he had a
nine in three record during his time as head coach
for the Colts. He went to Arizona, only had one
losing season during his time there, went to the playoffs twice,
won the division once. He then goes to Tampa, wins
(25:19):
his Super Bowl and his second year, and then wins
the division the next year, and you know, has a
thirty one and eighteen record with a Super Bowl during
that spin in Tampa. I kind of looking and go,
it's not as big of a sample size, but he's
got the winning percentage percentage better than Dick for Meal.
He's got a Super Bowl similar to Dick for Meal,
(25:40):
and in that short time he went to the playoffs
four times. So kind of um, I would say, at
least if you're comparing it, like, I think he's got
a Hall of Fame resume based on what he's done.
I don't think he needs to prove to anyone else
that he needs to win without Tom Brady or or
anything like. I think he can rest easy, rest happy. Well.
I mean, I think Marty Schottenheimer should be in h
(26:02):
He's got two wins in his career. He's the only
coach of the top ten outside of Dan Reeves, UM
and Andy Reid who's obviously still coaching in Belichick who's
got you know, all those wins and is still not
a Hall of Famer. I just I wonder if people
will look at the because then it comes back to
the conversation, can you tell the story of the NFL
without this guy's name. Madden got in after all those years, um,
(26:24):
you know, and he had a pretty good run. But
I think he got in a lot because of the
stuff he did after his coaching career. I just don't
know that arians is going to be around long enough
to to break a hundred wins. But if if that's
the if that's the thought process of it, then I
think it would be safe to say then that's maybe
not the motivation of it, because he won't coach long enough.
(26:47):
So if he's going to continue to coach, I think
that he's going to continue to coach for for more
more obvious reasons, like he loves to win, he loves
the coach, he loves to compete, he loves to you know.
He it's a lifesty. It's a lifestyle. Let's uh. So
we're gonna get to Eddie Garcia here coming up in
a moment. I do want to mention this though, on
(27:08):
the the odds, the DraftKings odds for Deshaun Watson. They
were sniffing around about it. So the odds go like this,
The Washington is one, the Bucks are to the Steelers
are three, the Saints are for, the Vikings are five,
and the Vikings and the Broncos have the same odds
(27:29):
to land Deshaun Watson. They are ten to one, so
they're in the top portion of this whate As far
as two thousand twenty two, which team does Deshaun Watson
play for in two thousand twenty two? That is also
a ten to one odds right now for next season,
tied with the Vikings and the Broncos. You guys get
one guests each quickly, who do you think the team
(27:52):
that Deshaun Watson plays for in two that is in
the mix with the Minnesota Vikings and den Lebroncos as
far as most likely that he plays for. Yeah, in
the mix. No, no, no no, he's saying another team that's
in the mix. There's three teams. He's saying, pick the
other the other team that he's playing. If you're asking
(28:12):
this question, I think I know where you're going, but
I want to hear Lavars's first. Alright, Miami is down
the way there, fourteen to one, Brady Wi. I was
initially like thinking to myself Cleveland because they took in
cream Hunt. But I think it's Houston. Yeah, I think
you're gonna say, that's why you're asking Houston. That's weird
to me. Uh. Look, I mean they do hold the
(28:33):
control here, right, Don't waste your money. I'm just saying, like,
you know, if if you're looking at it ten to
one and you know Houston wants to waste, don't do it.
It is a two pros and a cup of Joe here.
Fox Sports Radio. We're gonna have the b Q News
coming up ten minutes from now. I do want to
throw this in here one of the now. I don't
(28:54):
know if it's official that Troy Aikman has accepted the
Monday night football gig. I mean, I'm assuming it is
enough people are reporting it, but I don't know that
it's actually been official or there's been any sort of
an announcement. But the expectation is he's going to take
the job. And so one of the the pieces of
info out of the New York Post article is that
(29:15):
Fox and Amazon are both going to call Tom Brady
see if he wants to has any interest. I told
you yesterday, they're gonna call everyone. Yeah, it's gonna be Brady,
it's gonna be McVeigh. They I wouldn't be shocked. I
know Omaha Productions just signed a deal with Disney. I
wouldn't I wanna be shocked if you didn't call them, Hey,
(29:35):
how can we make this work? I'm telling you they're
gonna call everyone to try to figure out who they
can make a splash higher with in that number one spot.
And and I don't even if you think there's no chance,
in no way, I'm telling you right now, they're still
gonna make the call, and they're gonna see if that
person would be interested. I mean, to me, there's there's
(29:56):
you know, one name that makes all the sense in
the world if your Fox. To me, I mean, you
know his name also starts with a B. This this
other individual. You know, just just saying you know somebody,
somebody I know somebody that I think could be uh
could be very very good in that role. You know,
he's got experienced broadcasting. Yeah, yeah, man, I'm telling you
(30:20):
he's got experienced broadcasting. You know, he's done it with
you know, at a Fox for quite some time. To
saying there, Yeah, that's the thing. I would that he
drives a hard bargain. That's the problem. I'm just saying bad.
But it's uh, but there it is. Congratulations, That is correct,
(30:40):
Brett Farve. Yeah, so imagine that's definitely not it. But
if your theory holds true, they may reach out the
bread farm. They're going to reach out to everyone, everyone
and anyone. That's that's how this usually works. But one
of the requirements for far to take the gig I
heard is that he's got to wear crocs in the movie. Um,
(31:00):
that that's what I do. You know what's funny about
that is it's probably so old that like people need
to be reminded of what that means. They can google
it if they want. Well, they can have fun with
that conversation. Who was it? Was it? What was it?
His brother? Someone who was like, I don't know about that,
but I know his crocs he is wearing. I was

Learn more Discover dot Com slash match limitations apply. Let's
go to the newstess. Here's Brady quick. Yeah. Um, We've
(33:42):
got uh some interesting things happening in the world and
also out of this world. All right, there's a blame
game right now between well maybe space X and uh China.
The reason is because there's a rogue rocket or part
of one that's expect to crash into the Moon, and
originally it was thought to be some debris coming off
(34:04):
one of Elon Musk. SpaceX rockets. Now come to find out,
it's looking like this tracking system that they have is
putting the blame on China. So either way, already starting
that we've got enough issues on our own on this planet,
we're already creating issues on the Moon. So what what
happens if this rogue rocket? And by the way, who
(34:27):
hasn't had one of those? What happens if this rogue
rocket crashes? Yeah? What happens if it crashes? Yeh joone
excuse stand up and come to the board and answer
this place. I absolutely cannot or go, um, what what happens?
Don't look at me? Does the moon explode? Uh? No,
(34:52):
that's not going to explode. I mean I want to know,
because it's just I don't know. I'm not I'm like,
I'm not Elon Musk. I can't tell you what gonna happen.
It hits, the rocket went rogue and landed and crashed
into Earth. Would it destroyed Earth? Why would be able
(35:12):
to make a rocket big enough to blow up the Moon? Yeah?
And this is what a c see I call bs
on this story. I think this is just them trying
to keep rockets in the news because no celebrities have
jumped into one of those fake trips in a while,
so they got to keep it, keep it relevant. That
was hot for a minute. William Shatner made it real hot, William.
(35:33):
By the way, William Shatner blocked me on Twitter, that
guy's a toolbag. I've never seen that guy. I don't
even know that guy. He's like almost all the Fox
Sports Radio. I've never said a damn thing about him,
and he like, for some reason, I'm blaked Williams Shatton,
the actor, Yeah, like the guy from it. Yeah, check
(35:56):
right now if I'm blocked by Williams. Yeah, just go
look it up, William Shatner. How do you block everyone?
I don't know? Thanks, Ben, guy's a tool doesn't say
I am. Yeah, I've never said anything about that tool
and for whatever reason, he just keep talking about him. Alright, anyway,
let's move on to the next story. I have no
idea what's going to happen, No idea. Um, okay, so
(36:20):
this is this is kind of interesting. We know what's
happening over in Ukraine and Russia right now. So Louis
c k who he's been controversial in a bunch of
different ways. He's got a performance today and tomorrow in Kiev,
which is under siege right now. Yet he is still
planning to perform. They have not canceled these shows. Kind
(36:43):
of interesting. I mean, well, he doesn't have many options
on the States. Is that what you're saying. He's he's
so desperate he has to perform in a place that's
literally having a war. I also think that he would
look at this like the appearance, the optics of the says,
hey man, even in the time of war, this guy
(37:03):
is still performing comedy. This might be what he thinks,
would you know, revitalize his career based on this is
something that you're doing radio. You would still be doing
a radio show over key right now. I mean we're
talking about me. I have been here on the air
when an earthquake has happened and you wouldn't have even
noticed it all done. That earthquake is much different than
(37:27):
what we're talking There's no earthquakes in Pittsburgh, man, not not.
You know, that's actually not true. There actually is. What
some guy who falls off up there was an earthquake,
and I'll tell you what those earthquakes. It was big
and I was on the on the throne and it
was very very nervous story. I didn't know that. I'll
(37:48):
tell you guys another time. Remind me to tell you
another time. We got time, all. I got one more
to quick one on what happen? Well? I mean I
was at radio doing the radio show, and that the
most what is the most honorable moment? There's two vulnerable
moments a man can find themselves in, right, even a
woman too, By the way, give you credit? Uh is Well,
(38:11):
I'll just go to this one. I was sitting down
and I was taking a respite and I thought that
there was a water main break and on everything. I
thought it was going to blow me off of the seat,
and it kept rocking and rocking, and it was very
very scary, and come to find out, it was a
very very valid earthquake that had taken place while I
(38:34):
was sitting where earthquakes not violent, was unable. I was
unable to escape. What do you on the point is
I would have just died sitting down with literally my
pants down. What are you, Danny Glover? I'll leave the
weapon where he's about that story? Either, I'm not vulnerable?
(38:58):
What a way to go? I hope you washed your
hands after words. I mean, there was I don't even
remember

you know, a day of the week it is. It's
a damn football Friday. Yeah, Friday, Yeah Friday. Yeah, hit
(01:33):
thrust gyrations, hands behind the head. I mean, this is
this is what we do on a football Friday, right guys.
Yeah yeah, all right. So we have got a situation
in the NFL. We were talking about this earlier, the
Deshaun Watson saga. Apparently, according to Mike Florio, Brady's guy.
Mike Florio reported that several teams are still willing to
(01:59):
deal for Deshaun Watson as long as the criminal cases
against him are resolved. So the civil side of things
would still be out there. Whether the league does anything
or gets involved and tries to punish him after the fact,
who knows. But there are teams willing to make a
deal for Deshaun Watson. Now, his current team, the Houston Texans.
They have a brand new head coach and is Lovey Smith.
(02:21):
You know, I'm sure Brian Floor is not thrilled about
that still. But Lovey Smith spoke about the situation involving
Deshaun Watson. Uh. This was on the Rich eis And Show,
and Lovey Smith talked about Watson, the situation he took
in and where they stand as an organization, you don't
give out starting positions in the in the spring. But
(02:43):
I mean as I say it, I love what Davis
has done. He's our quarterback going into the season, like
all guys like you know, hopefully you know some of
our best players that played last year. You know, new
coaching staff starting in but uh, you know, replacing our
core of back. There are a lot of things positions
I'm worried about. Quarterback is not one of you know,
(03:04):
I've had contact with, you know, from just being in
the building. I don't really know Deshan that way, you know,
since he wasn't really involved last year. I know about
his his background and his history as a football player.
That part I know, of course. I know most people
want to know what's gonna happen with that. Time takes
care of a lot of things, and time will take
(03:25):
care of that situation two where it is a favorable
situation for Deshan and coming in as a new head
football coach. We want to put the best football team
on the field, and uh, you know some of the
things where the quest mark on what's gonna happen, And yeah,
I can't wait for all of that to get settled.
And we can kind of move on from there. So
the Houston Texans and love You Smith are like, yeah,
(03:46):
let's go ahead and wrap this up. Um this I
credit the Texans because they're no longer at the point
to where they're like, all right, we're gonna try and
convince this guy too want to stay here. They're just like,
we're moving on. Davis Mills is our guy and we
got to move forward. So so screw it, let's get
a deal done and let's just walk out and uh
and get over this whole thing. It's two regimes now, yeah,
I mean think about it. You went through David Coley.
(04:07):
You hired him, and you knew after the season back
dating back the twenty heading in that Deshaun Watson didn't
want to play and they're hoping they could convince him.
David Coley gets hired at the end of January and
that didn't change course or change plans for for Deshaun Watson.
And now you've moved on from David Coley, You've elevated
Lovey Smith and he's probably like, dude, I've been here
(04:30):
through this already for a year. As the assistant head
coach at d C I don't want to do this again,
Like there's enough on your play as a head coach.
I don't wanna have to deal with this. I am
sure that was one of the things he probably talked
to Nickissario about, is like, like, I know you want
to get your fair you know, compensation for trading away
Toshaun Watson, but at some point you gotta rip the
(04:52):
band aid off and move on. And you got you gotta.
I don't wanna say cut your losses, but you you've
got to move on from this so that this organization,
sation can move on. That He handled that that response
as well as anyone could handle a response in this scenario.
I think he definitively diffused the situation and gave gave direction,
(05:19):
which is is commendable. I wonder was David Culley in
the same situation to be able to speak confidently and
and strategically and methodically um in terms of getting through
the conversation about what do you do as it applies
to Deshaun Watson. I don't know. I almost feel as
(05:40):
though David Culley's job rested on his ability or inability
to get Deshaun Watson to stay with that team. I
almost feel like that was that was the door prize
or that was the ultimate prize for him getting that opportunity,
and there there will be no other reason why you
(06:01):
would say we're going to go in a different direction
from David Culley based upon what what they didn't do
this past season. So now you incomes Lovey Smith and
it's like, all right, we thought we could salvage this
situation with Deshaun Watson, and we're clearly not going to.
So you know what, Lovey, do what you need to do,
(06:22):
do what needs to be done. And he's speaking with
a different level of confidence. But give him credit in
the situation where he put it the bid and he
defused what could be considered to to still be a
toxic type of scenario where you feel like, you know,
we felt like the Houston Texans were being held hostage.
(06:42):
I mean I think I did you know? And and
now I think he puts that the rest that there's
not a hostage situation um taking place in Houston anymore.
Before last season, would you guys say that Deshaun Watson
was one if you asked, you know, thirty two general
managers around the league. If you're starting your France ties
with a quarterback. How many quarterbacks would you have taken
(07:02):
before you get to Watson? Man? Two or three? Maybe many? Yeah?
So yeah, like it just before last season, Like if
you're starting a franchise, maybe two or three quarterbacks you
would take before Deshaun Watson. And I was thinking about
this earlier. It's almost like, I mean, he missed an
entire season in his prime. It like it's almost unprecedented
(07:25):
what we're seeing with this whole situation, and you take
two or three before him. I agree, I agree, And
in his prime missed an entire season and may still
miss more time this year, depending on what happens with
this legal stuff. And it's almost like people just sort
of moved on, like well, you know, like it wasn't
(07:46):
really a topic of conversation last year. There wasn't really
this discussion about, man, you know what a Deshaun Watson.
It's like we just found other things that we you know,
discussed in football at their conversation to other topics. And
I don't know if this goes into the same realm
of man, that's how healthy the game is that you
can lose a quarterback in his prime. One of the
top two or three quarterbacks in the league and we
(08:07):
just continue on with our day and not even worry
about it, like he's gonna possibly miss more time and
he's one of the best players in the league. It's
just the river side. It's but it's cremide. It's called moved.
Moved the drill fifteen yards of field, that's what it's called.
What LaVar is referring to is when there's an injury
(08:27):
in practice, right man goes down, they literally just say riverside,
and they're like, you'll just turn your backs to the
injury and just go the other way. The offense will
literally go the other one, so santay to basically, I mean,
I don't think they riversided and the horse just bring
out the white. You'll be wagon all that thing out
(08:50):
of there. You're in class at all, right, whereas the
nearest elmer's glue. Man, what a classy statement to make.
But it can recall it was at bar in the stall.
Can you recall, um, can you recall a time where
there's just been a player in his prime that's just
completely gone for an entire year Like that's it. Like
(09:13):
I'm trying to think what the compass me Lean Bell.
I think Levian Bell is the closest now, not for
any issues other than the fact that he didn't want
to play under a second year under the franchise tag,
knowing what was going to happen to him, you know.
But he's the only player that comes to mind that
chose to sit out and forego a year that you
(09:33):
can make the case based on what he had done
in Pittsburgh at that point was in his prime or
it was at least playing at the top of the league.
When you look at touches production, those sorts of things.
I mean, maybe Bo Jackson rolling out, you know, playing
baseball instead of going, you know, plant for the team
that that wanted him. Yeah, I mean, that would probably
(09:55):
be the closest thing equivalent to impact out a player
would have that didn't want to play for the team
that wanted oneed his his services. I mean Deshaun Watson,
Deshaun Watson was was was really playing at such a
high level that when you were when you were looking
(10:17):
at where this Texans team was was achieving and how
they were getting things done. I mean you you thought
that they were almost like I mean, I felt like
they were on the cusp of of being able to
put it to you like this. We were a little
bit further ahead and what we were saying about Deshaun
(10:38):
Watson than what we're saying about maybe the quarterback in Baltimore, baby,
the quarterback in Buffalo. Like, I think we were more
we were as as media. We were more defined in
saying that Deshaun Watson can take this Houston Texas team
into the next level, the next phase of what this
(11:00):
franchise could possibly be, which is a super Bowl contender.
And now without the services of Deshaun Watson, the team
is has has has a true rebuild, and that shows
the impact that he had on that that organization and
that franchise. I just wonder can he be that guy again?
(11:22):
And I know, talent wise, I don't think that his
talent has gone anywhere, but I think so many times
we don't take into consideration the emotional and mental impact
and effect of missing a season and and furthermore, this
is this is worse than an injury. This is this
(11:43):
is more based off of circumstance of his own. You know,
it's it's it's his personal life, personal deal. We get
a and this is what you know, and I don't
care who it is. It's a professional athletes, celebrity, et cetera,
unless they want to advertise that, and they're so on
media platforms or via reality TV show. There's some things
(12:04):
that are lives we don't want to make public. This, obviously,
with what he was doing, was something that when you
hear from players that played with them, they knew what
was going on for a while or they had heard
something in this sort and it's something that came to
light all of a sudden. But and I said this
a while ago, I think, uh an interesting comparison. And look,
(12:27):
it's not that Tiger Woods did anything close to this,
but his private life became public and it it felt
like he never could really feel the same playing golf
in a public setting because all of all of his
laundry was out there, like people got to see what
was happening that you have to see his dirty laundry,
(12:50):
basketballs and and there's an element of that too with
Deshaun Watson, where granted, you know, you don't have guys
standing five ft from you on a T box who
are maybe whispering or saying stuff or whatever else. Right,
it's not like that when you play football, but you're
around fans, you know, you hear when you go to
the bench, You're gonna hear all these things. It's gonna
be different form moving forward. When he comes back and
(13:12):
he's in the limelight, He's not only gonna have to
answer to it depending on what happens, he's gonna have
to deal with it for the rest of his career.
And so to LaVar's point, the emotional the psychological portion
of it, like will he be the same player? I
personally feel like regardless of where he goes it is
a big question mark. Yeah, And it's not losing the
(13:33):
invincibility like Tiger lost that invincibility. It's like you're looking
at victory red meant something different. I's going to go
a little further to know that. Uh yeah, that's that
concludes our preview of the Masters here on Fox Sports
(13:56):
Radio as we get ready for h for August and
a couple of months. Unbelievable, just class through and through that.
Brady Quinn, I don't I don't know. I don't know.

a major move in the world of sports. We'll get
into the very latest right here Fox Sports Radio. Be
(14:42):
sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and a
Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, Lavarre Errington and Jonas
knocks week days at six am Eastern, three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio. Two
Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio, LaVar
aer Tim, Brady Quinn, Jonas knocks with you here on
fs ARE. A little system of a down in honor
(15:05):
of a live bet Jesus winning an Armenian Premier League
soccer earlier. About that, all makes sense? Right, all comes together?
All right? We have got a developing story in the NFL.
There's some major news reports out there about a changing
landscape in the world of sports, and we'll have that
(15:27):
for year on fs are we were talking about the
uh that's coming about ten minutes from now. We're talking
about the Deshaun Watson stuff. Um, I do have some
bettable odds on Deshaun Watson's next team. You guys want
you guys want to like it. You guys want to
take a crack at who's the the the favorite or
(15:48):
who are amongst the favorites here? Alright, sot some some
games and some game show music please here. I mean,
whatever you choose, if it it is saved there, it
is all right to the way we go and that
we have the bettable odds here on Fox Sports. Rade.
Al right, so we're going to alternate. Uh, you know,
we'll give out a few of these. Um, LaVar Rington,
(16:09):
you want to go first? Mr ober Unders, what are
you thinking of? Commanders? All right? They are the favorite
is on the board plus three hundred disaccording to DraftKings
plus second. Yeah, we talked about this yesterday and honestly,
like a moment of being real with you all, when
I said it, it it came out of mouth. I was like,
(16:30):
oh gosh, I don't want to get in trouble for
saying that given everything that's going on with the Washington commanders. Yeah,
I really thought, like, I don't know, that might have
been too controversies or one. Brady, you're one correct. How
are they the favorites because that's the whole point of Washington. Yes, like, yeah,
(16:54):
that's the whole point. Yeah, maybe you're right. I mean
maybe maybe that's a bigger discussion to it's a bigger
discussed world, right, I mean it was like, hey, don't
look over here, look one over here. Yeah, it would
be like you probably wouldn't want to bring him to
the Patriots based on Bob Craft's history at you know
what I mean, like just you know, Washington's got their
(17:14):
own issues. Doesn't make sense, but they are the favorites
something in common. Yeah. Yeah, it's a group of lamar
that's a good point. Yeah, that's fair. Uh, if anybody
can help it with the you know kind of like
you know, the therapy of it. Yeah, back on this one.
(17:41):
I'm going with the Philadelphia Eagles. It was Lee's Mike
on there all right, So here we go. So you're
the Philadelphia Eagles. Scroll down, scroll down, scroll the Eagles
are a long way off. They are actually plus two thousand,
twenty to one odds. The Eagles Severn've got the draft capital,
(18:01):
I know, and it's outside the a f C. So
it seems like that would make some sense. And they've
got a history with bringing in Mike Vick after all
his issues. They've got a history of dealing with this.
So I think for me, well then let's keep the party.
Come on the bar, Come get Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Steelers
are third, alright, they are nine to one, nine to
(18:24):
one to land Deshaun Watson, the Pittsburgh who in Miami. Yeah, no,
it's a good point of Brian Flores and um so
you've got the the Pittsburgh Steelers there. These are the
odds according to Draft Kings to land Deshaun Watson based
on the reports according to Mike Florio, again must reiterate
(18:45):
Brady's guy, Mike Florio, who was saying that despite all
the legal issues, teams are still interested in trading for him.
All right, Brady, you want to give another swing at this.
I think this is might be cheating because I saw
the Bucks. That's all Bucks reporting this. Ibmould say that's
by Bucks they're sit again plus three fifty right behind
the Washington Commandos the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at plus three.
(19:09):
I mean, do they I don't. I mean do you
think do you think Bruce Arians wants to deal with
that based on the year he just had with you know, yeah?
Like it just I mean it feels like Bruce Arians,
you know, maybe wants to get some of the credit
back and uh, you know, maybe he would more prefer
(19:30):
a Blaine gabtt you know, like kind of show people.
You know, it wasn't all Tom Brady here all right,
you know, I know how to coach. His team's got
some talent to I think maybe they're a little ego
play there from Bruce arians final years head coach. I mean,
I'm not jumping at you think it's his final year. Yeah,
I don't think he coaches past this year. I think
he's gone. Why would you just retire? Now? Then? Look,
I agree, I I figured he would, but maybe he
(19:52):
wants to prove that, you know, he can go out
with a winning season and it's not just about Tom.
I mean, is it possible to say we get carried
away with that that sentiment or that thought process. I
can do it without this person, you know, is it
is it? Is it just a tad bit possible that
we get kind of carried away with that. Like Bruce
(20:13):
arians has multiple super Bowl championships, He's got one. As
an assistant, he's got one. As as as a head coach.
He's very well accomplished, he's very well respected. At this point.
I don't know that that would be his true motivation
for continuing the coach is to prove it wrong that
Tom Brady wasn't the reason why he was able to
(20:34):
have success in Tampa Bay. I will, however, say this,
if you're a coach, it's so funny because I'm I'm
taking up, I'm picking my whistle back up again, so
I'll be the defensive coordinator um for my my son's
team this year. Yeah, so all right, I'm gonna go
back into it. And I was at the coaches meeting,
(20:57):
you know, the initial coaches meeting. Congratulations. That's not the
point here. Let me get let me get speech. You're saying, no, no,
it wasn't. I mean the figure of picking my whistle
back up, because I didn't literally pick my whistle back
up yesterday. You know what I mean. I just you know. Anyway,
here's the point. The point that I'm making is in
(21:19):
these situations and as it applies to Bruce Arians, but
as it applies to Deshaun Watson as well. These coaches
want to win. But you know what else coaches want
to do. They want to impact lives. And so now
that I'm like getting into my coaching, my coaching like
body and my coaching mindset, you know what a coach
(21:41):
is probably thinking about as it applies to bringing DeShawn
Watson in. I can be a positive influence on this
man's life. The one thing about coaching is when you
know what you're coaching or what you're up against in
terms of your your guys, which is one of the
(22:02):
most important aspects of being a coach is understanding having
an idea of what you're up against in terms of
the personality makeups and emotional makeups of the guys that
you're you're leading and you're guiding and you're teaching. And
so to me, I think that the natural approach, even
(22:23):
even in a Bruce Arians situation, the natural approaches. He's
not looking at Deshaun Watson as if he's Antonio Brown.
He's looking at Deshaun Watson as someone who probably needs
a a stable figure um, someone who can talk to
him straight, which Bruce arians is known to be that
(22:45):
type of coach um, someone that can relate to Deshaun Watson,
which Byron left, Which would be who would be a
more perfect fit to relate to Deshaun Watson on not
only a a coaches level, but on a hair level
as well. In some regards, I think that if you're
looking at it from that perspective of regardless of what
(23:08):
the if the conclusion is that of Deshaun Watson being
able to play, then you would have to assume now
the scenario becomes the reform of of his his name,
the rebuild and and and the reform of his brand.
And what better way to do that than to have
(23:29):
the most supportive people around you. I think if things
don't go exactly away their plan, when Deshaun Watson comes back,
it's gonna be more important for him to have people
around him that are into supporting him versus versus putting
him out there. And if feeling as though his mess
(23:49):
ups and his shortcomings coming back as a player are
going to be amplified in a way that aren't aren't
muffled or doled out by the coaching staff that's around him. Yeah,
here's my question, not not to completely change a different direction,
but is Bruce Arians a Hall of Fame coach? There
has to be. I don't know. Is there are dar
(24:12):
any Hall of Fame coaches that haven't won a Super Bowl?
I don't believe so. But pick for Meal just got
in right, and he's actually gonna go in as an
Eagle as opposed to being part of the Rams where
he actually won his Super Bowl or Kansas City where
he coached thereafter. But Dick for Meal, now he's he
coached as a head coach a lot longer um than
(24:33):
Bruce Arians has as a head coach, but his overall
win percentage is five with one Super Bowl. He's one,
and he went to the playoffs, uh six times if
you include the obviously the Super Bowl run Bruce Arians,
who hasn't coached nearly as long um. And there is
like the unofficial you know, win percentage that he gets
(24:57):
from the time when he took over in Indianapolis, which
all only got him the Arizona Cardinal's head coaching job.
But he's at six thirty five. Right, he had a
nine in three record during his time as head coach
for the Colts. He went to Arizona, only had one
losing season during his time there, went to the playoffs twice,
won the division once. He then goes to Tampa, wins
(25:19):
his Super Bowl and his second year, and then wins
the division the next year, and you know, has a
thirty one and eighteen record with a Super Bowl during
that spin in Tampa. I kind of looking and go,
it's not as big of a sample size, but he's
got the winning percentage percentage better than Dick for Meal.
He's got a Super Bowl similar to Dick for Meal,
(25:40):
and in that short time he went to the playoffs
four times. So kind of um, I would say, at
least if you're comparing it, like, I think he's got
a Hall of Fame resume based on what he's done.
I don't think he needs to prove to anyone else
that he needs to win without Tom Brady or or
anything like. I think he can rest easy, rest happy. Well.
I mean, I think Marty Schottenheimer should be in h
(26:02):
He's got two wins in his career. He's the only
coach of the top ten outside of Dan Reeves, UM
and Andy Reid who's obviously still coaching in Belichick who's
got you know, all those wins and is still not
a Hall of Famer. I just I wonder if people
will look at the because then it comes back to
the conversation, can you tell the story of the NFL
without this guy's name. Madden got in after all those years, um,
(26:24):
you know, and he had a pretty good run. But
I think he got in a lot because of the
stuff he did after his coaching career. I just don't
know that arians is going to be around long enough
to to break a hundred wins. But if if that's
the if that's the thought process of it, then I
think it would be safe to say then that's maybe
not the motivation of it, because he won't coach long enough.
(26:47):
So if he's going to continue to coach, I think
that he's going to continue to coach for for more
more obvious reasons, like he loves to win, he loves
the coach, he loves to compete, he loves to you know.
He it's a lifesty. It's a lifestyle. Let's uh. So
we're gonna get to Eddie Garcia here coming up in
a moment. I do want to mention this though, on
(27:08):
the the odds, the DraftKings odds for Deshaun Watson. They
were sniffing around about it. So the odds go like this,
The Washington is one, the Bucks are to the Steelers
are three, the Saints are for, the Vikings are five,
and the Vikings and the Broncos have the same odds
(27:29):
to land Deshaun Watson. They are ten to one, so
they're in the top portion of this whate As far
as two thousand twenty two, which team does Deshaun Watson
play for in two thousand twenty two? That is also
a ten to one odds right now for next season,
tied with the Vikings and the Broncos. You guys get
one guests each quickly, who do you think the team
(27:52):
that Deshaun Watson plays for in two that is in
the mix with the Minnesota Vikings and den Lebroncos as
far as most likely that he plays for. Yeah, in
the mix. No, no, no no, he's saying another team that's
in the mix. There's three teams. He's saying, pick the
other the other team that he's playing. If you're asking
(28:12):
this question, I think I know where you're going, but
I want to hear Lavars's first. Alright, Miami is down
the way there, fourteen to one, Brady Wi. I was
initially like thinking to myself Cleveland because they took in
cream Hunt. But I think it's Houston. Yeah, I think
you're gonna say, that's why you're asking Houston. That's weird
to me. Uh. Look, I mean they do hold the
(28:33):
control here, right, Don't waste your money. I'm just saying, like,
you know, if if you're looking at it ten to
one and you know Houston wants to waste, don't do it.
It is a two pros and a cup of Joe here.
Fox Sports Radio. We're gonna have the b Q News
coming up ten minutes from now. I do want to
throw this in here one of the now. I don't
(28:54):
know if it's official that Troy Aikman has accepted the
Monday night football gig. I mean, I'm assuming it is
enough people are reporting it, but I don't know that
it's actually been official or there's been any sort of
an announcement. But the expectation is he's going to take
the job. And so one of the the pieces of
info out of the New York Post article is that
(29:15):
Fox and Amazon are both going to call Tom Brady
see if he wants to has any interest. I told
you yesterday, they're gonna call everyone. Yeah, it's gonna be Brady,
it's gonna be McVeigh. They I wouldn't be shocked. I
know Omaha Productions just signed a deal with Disney. I
wouldn't I wanna be shocked if you didn't call them, Hey,
(29:35):
how can we make this work? I'm telling you they're
gonna call everyone to try to figure out who they
can make a splash higher with in that number one spot.
And and I don't even if you think there's no chance,
in no way, I'm telling you right now, they're still
gonna make the call, and they're gonna see if that
person would be interested. I mean, to me, there's there's
(29:56):
you know, one name that makes all the sense in
the world if your Fox. To me, I mean, you
know his name also starts with a B. This this
other individual. You know, just just saying you know somebody,
somebody I know somebody that I think could be uh
could be very very good in that role. You know,
he's got experienced broadcasting. Yeah, yeah, man, I'm telling you
(30:20):
he's got experienced broadcasting. You know, he's done it with
you know, at a Fox for quite some time. To
saying there, Yeah, that's the thing. I would that he
drives a hard bargain. That's the problem. I'm just saying bad.
But it's uh, but there it is. Congratulations, That is correct,
(30:40):
Brett Farve. Yeah, so imagine that's definitely not it. But
if your theory holds true, they may reach out the
bread farm. They're going to reach out to everyone, everyone
and anyone. That's that's how this usually works. But one
of the requirements for far to take the gig I
heard is that he's got to wear crocs in the movie. Um,
(31:00):
that that's what I do. You know what's funny about
that is it's probably so old that like people need
to be reminded of what that means. They can google
it if they want. Well, they can have fun with
that conversation. Who was it? Was it? What was it?
His brother? Someone who was like, I don't know about that,
but I know his crocs he is wearing. I was

go to the newstess. Here's Brady quick. Yeah. Um, We've
(33:42):
got uh some interesting things happening in the world and
also out of this world. All right, there's a blame
game right now between well maybe space X and uh China.
The reason is because there's a rogue rocket or part
of one that's expect to crash into the Moon, and
originally it was thought to be some debris coming off
(34:04):
one of Elon Musk. SpaceX rockets. Now come to find out,
it's looking like this tracking system that they have is
putting the blame on China. So either way, already starting
that we've got enough issues on our own on this planet,
we're already creating issues on the Moon. So what what
happens if this rogue rocket? And by the way, who
(34:27):
hasn't had one of those? What happens if this rogue
rocket crashes? Yeah? What happens if it crashes? Yeh joone
excuse stand up and come to the board and answer
this place. I absolutely cannot or go, um, what what happens?
Don't look at me? Does the moon explode? Uh? No,
(34:52):
that's not going to explode. I mean I want to know,
because it's just I don't know. I'm not I'm like,
I'm not Elon Musk. I can't tell you what gonna happen.
It hits, the rocket went rogue and landed and crashed
into Earth. Would it destroyed Earth? Why would be able
(35:12):
to make a rocket big enough to blow up the Moon? Yeah?
And this is what a c see I call bs
on this story. I think this is just them trying
to keep rockets in the news because no celebrities have
jumped into one of those fake trips in a while,
so they got to keep it, keep it relevant. That
was hot for a minute. William Shatner made it real hot, William.
(35:33):
By the way, William Shatner blocked me on Twitter, that
guy's a toolbag. I've never seen that guy. I don't
even know that guy. He's like almost all the Fox
Sports Radio. I've never said a damn thing about him,
and he like, for some reason, I'm blaked Williams Shatton,
the actor, Yeah, like the guy from it. Yeah, check
(35:56):
right now if I'm blocked by Williams. Yeah, just go
look it up, William Shatner. How do you block everyone?
I don't know? Thanks, Ben, guy's a tool doesn't say
I am. Yeah, I've never said anything about that tool
and for whatever reason, he just keep talking about him. Alright, anyway,
let's move on to the next story. I have no
idea what's going to happen, No idea. Um, okay, so
(36:20):
this is this is kind of interesting. We know what's
happening over in Ukraine and Russia right now. So Louis
c k who he's been controversial in a bunch of
different ways. He's got a performance today and tomorrow in Kiev,
which is under siege right now. Yet he is still
planning to perform. They have not canceled these shows. Kind
(36:43):
of interesting. I mean, well, he doesn't have many options
on the States. Is that what you're saying. He's he's
so desperate he has to perform in a place that's
literally having a war. I also think that he would
look at this like the appearance, the optics of the says,
hey man, even in the time of war, this guy
(37:03):
is still performing comedy. This might be what he thinks,
would you know, revitalize his career based on this is
something that you're doing radio. You would still be doing
a radio show over key right now. I mean we're
talking about me. I have been here on the air
when an earthquake has happened and you wouldn't have even
noticed it all done. That earthquake is much different than
(37:27):
what we're talking There's no earthquakes in Pittsburgh, man, not not.
You know, that's actually not true. There actually is. What
some guy who falls off up there was an earthquake,
and I'll tell you what those earthquakes. It was big
and I was on the on the throne and it
was very very nervous story. I didn't know that. I'll
(37:48):
tell you guys another time. Remind me to tell you
another time. We got time, all. I got one more
to quick one on what happen? Well? I mean I
was at radio doing the radio show, and that the
most what is the most honorable moment? There's two vulnerable
moments a man can find themselves in, right, even a
woman too, By the way, give you credit? Uh is Well,
(38:11):
I'll just go to this one. I was sitting down
and I was taking a respite and I thought that
there was a water main break and on everything. I
thought it was going to blow me off of the seat,
and it kept rocking and rocking, and it was very
very scary, and come to find out, it was a
very very valid earthquake that had taken place while I
(38:34):
was sitting where earthquakes not violent, was unable. I was
unable to escape. What do you on the point is
I would have just died sitting down with literally my
pants down. What are you, Danny Glover? I'll leave the
weapon where he's about that story? Either, I'm not vulnerable?
(38:58):
What a way to go? I hope you washed your
hands after words. I mean, there was I don't even
remember
