(01:02):
right here on fs ARE. A lot of movement in
uh cr crank Rocket, crank Rocket. Uh yeah, yeah, that's uh,
he's part of crank Rocket. Uh. You know. Funny speaking
of Jim Crank Rocket while you're singing your song. Well,
(01:23):
I mean it sounds like a fun time for all
you know. Uh, they've thrown a few on the field
and Buffalo here they made a new song called the
Ryan Sings. Yeah, is that what it is? Yeah? Okay,
because Jim Mercy does have a brand new quarterback. His
name is Matt Ryan. So, uh, the revolving door of
(01:43):
starting quarterbacks in Indianapolis continues on. Matt Ryan is there
with the Indianapolis Colts. Uh. Now, he first decided he
wanted to do address his timing, the decision to leave
the Atlanta Falcons. He was there for well over a
deck aid here was Matt Ryan being introduced in Indianapolis yesterday. Ultimately,
(02:05):
it came down to a decision between either staying in
Atlanta or coming here to Indianapolis. And I just knew
with the roster that they talked about, their belief in
the players that they have here, the belief in the
way that they do things, the time was just right
for me. And so basically Atlanta stinks in Indianapolis doesn't.
Is that really? Is that really what he's said? Basically
to have better personnel and way more belief in their
(02:28):
personnel and their their tape than Atlanta do. So it
was the perfect time for me to get the hell
about it out of the A. Probably. Look, if they're
not rumored to have talked to Deshaun Watson, is he
still Atlanta Falcon? Uh? Yes? Probably? Um? Yeah, I mean yeah.
(02:51):
It feels like he handled this much differently than Baker
Mayfield did, because you know, Cleveland was rumored to talk
to him, and it was like Matt Ryan have understood
the situation a little bit more than Baker Mayfield did. Um.
And I want I wonder if Indianapolis, if it came
down to both quarterbacks rumored you know, to be on
the way out if Deshaun Watson goes there. Do you
(03:13):
think Indianapolis took into account Baker Mayfield and the way
he handled the rumors and maybe chose Matt Ryan because
I don't know more of a quote unquote adult. Uh.
And maybe that's part of the reason behind the decision.
But Q hit on this. I think maybe yesterday Matt
Ryan has a whole entire career behind him, like this
(03:35):
is another chapter to what many would say has been
I mean, maybe not as brilliant as the most brilliant
But and it's all right, it's been a brilliant career
for for Matt Ryan. So what he's feeling and what
Baker Mayfield is feeling are two separate things too, two
(03:56):
entirely different things. Now they both may feel though they're
under appreciated, maybe even under valued right now. Maybe they
they own more of the blame than what they are.
You know, we're comfortable with, but that's what comes with
the position. But when you're a former m v P,
I think you feel a little bit differently about how
(04:19):
people value you. You can't take away what your your
accomplishments are. So I think that, first of all, Matt
Ryan has always been that type of dude anyway, He's
he's been class personified from from day one, and and
that's only improved as as he's grown older. Baker Mayfield
is a little bit more brash, he's a little bit
(04:40):
more a little a little bit more edgier. Are you
saying that Matt Ryan has earned the right and Baker
Mayfield hasn't. I mean, if that's how you want to
tell it, that's your interpretation of it. Sure, But but
but Baker Mayfield still he still has so much more
to prove versus what he's already proven and what he's
(05:02):
going to do moving forward. Like you would say that
there's the possibility some way, somehow that Baker Mayfield could
have better days ahead of him than him his better
days being behind him. So, I mean there's a lot
there to that it could go either way with Baker Mayfield.
But with Matt Ryan, I think you know exactly what
(05:24):
you may be getting. You know, you're getting a leader.
You know you're getting someone who's a professional, and they're
gonna put the work in. They're gonna put the time in.
People are going to enjoy him um as a teammate,
you know those things. So it's just a safe pick
for certain There they've traded for something that's a known commodity.
You know, for the most part, what you're getting from
(05:45):
Matt Ryan now, is this best football still ahead of him?
Probably not. I mean he's a four time Pro Bowl
or former m v PS, win an NFC championship, and
at his age it's it's seldom we see guys play
at the level for example Aaron Rodgers has or Tom
Brady has at those ages. Maybe Matt Ryan will fall
on their footsteps. I don't know, But what we do
(06:06):
know is more of what Matt Ryan has been and
what he is as a quarterback than Baker Mayfield, who's
been a roller coaster ride great year one, bad year
to great year three, down year four and and no
team wants to come out every day and deal with
emotions or a roller coaster ride. And those are two
(06:28):
things that if you ask people around the NFL how
they view Baker Mayfield, they would say there's some immaturity there,
There's there's some emotion there. Some guys like it. Some
guys say he's got fire. You know, he's got fire
in the belly, they'd say. But with Matt Ryan, is
LaVar pointed out, he's handled it much more diplomatic because
he's he's you know, he's got a career behind him
(06:49):
where you go, look what he's done. I mean, you
know what you're getting through the Colts and Matt Ryan.
I don't know that you could say that if you
were Frank Bryk in the Colts training for Baker Mayfield.
They're the thing I'd say is this is about respect.
Like Baker Mayfield felt disrespected by the Browns because of
the past four years he's put in and what he's done.
(07:10):
I don't know that you have quite that cloud yet
until you get to that second contract with the organization
and they've really invested in you. Matt Ryan has made
over two hundred and sixty million dollars with the Atlantic, okay,
and and there's a certain amount of like, Hey, I've
won an NFC championship for you. I came here after
(07:31):
everything happened with Mike Vick, and I brought this I
helped bring this thing back around. And they've been pretty
successful at periods of time, even though recently they've gone
through this this downward spiral, he's gotten more of an
issue and more I think of a case to be
feeled disrespected by the Falcons looking at a guy who,
(07:55):
he says, twenty two civil cases against him, has a
worse injury history, and hasn't even been a league MVP
or really within that mentioning. He's been really good and
he showed upside, but that's been it, and so I
think he's got more of a case to say, hold
on a second. I mean, I've been the best player
(08:16):
in the league one year. I've been to a Super Bowl,
I've won you a lot of games, and you're gonna
go talk to this guy. I've done everything right on
the field off the field for you when you moved
on from a guy who didn't, and now you're gonna
go talk to this guy. Like, if that's what you want, okay.
But I'm out like, like, it's not that complicated to
(08:36):
think that he wouldn't or even shouldn't feel that way
given what Matt Ryan has accomplished. Uh and Matt Ryan
also spoke a yesterday about how much he looks at
the future and what he thinks his shelf life is
remaining in his NFL career. You know, I've said from
the start, I'd like to play as long as I can.
(08:57):
I feel really good, my body feels really good. I
still feel like I can play at as high a
level as as I ever have, And as long as
I feel good and feel like I can play well,
I'm gonna I'm gonna try and play. I played in
a division that it was Tom Brady, Drew Brees and
then me, you know, at one point and I was like,
that's the thing, maybe thirty five at the time when
(09:18):
I was doing that, and I was like, no, I
feel young times like forty three and Drew's forty one.
I like that. You know, I'm still pretty young. Uh,
it's it definitely changes, you know, quickly. But I feel good,
I really do. You know. My body feels my body
feels great. I feel like I've gotten into a space
where I know how to take care of myself. I
know what I need to do in order to train,
(09:38):
and so I don't feel like an old man. All right,
here's the question, because it is the shot at at Atlanta.
By the way, just so you know, that was a
shot because a lot of people, a lot of people
kind of made created the narrative that he was washed
like this he was that was it. He he was
old and and he just didn't have it anymore. He
(10:01):
just addressed it very like, very clearly too. By the way. Okay,
so it's Indianapolis and they have not been able to
keep a quarterback longer than one year since Frank Gregor
has been there over under one and a half years.
Over you think, I think easily over. I think easily
it'll be over. I mean you have to understand they're
(10:22):
getting something similar to what they had in Philip Rivers.
I think as far as the production, the talent that
the playing from the pocket passing. But he's he's younger.
He's not at that point in time and his career
where he's ready to hang it up right. Rivers was
older when he went in for the one year. So
I think he's at least got two more good years,
you know, maybe three or four. I mean, he looks
(10:43):
to be in good shape. I think you put him
behind that offensive line. It's a different store than what
he's been dealing with in Atlanta. Whether they have been
trying to draft and develop and it just hasn't worked out.
And I mean, for God's sakes, you gotta you've got
a wide receiver converted wide receiver returner playing running back.
You know, it's like that that place has fallen by
the wayside, very very quickly. It's uh, and and and
(11:08):
so you just look at his career. So if he wins,
if Matt Ryan wins a Super Bowl, he's a Hall
of Famer. Like if you look at his numbers, he's
he's top ten all time in passing yards. I believe
he's top ten all time in touch with the super Bowl,
he's a first ballot Hall of Famer. I think he's
still I think he still gets the not just not
(11:29):
first ballot, then you're not. I'm not sure how long
it would take, but I think he's had a Hall
of Fame career. Would you rather have his career? Eli Mannings? Oh,
I think I would say that. Two super Bowls? Yeah,
two sixty million dollars. Well, how much did you lot make?
He made over? Oh that's true because all the memorabilia sales. Yeah,
(11:51):
I forgot about that. I don't know if that was said.
They've never played a season under a discount in their
life or you know, any other had any other contract
or anything. By the way, Eli Manning made two fifty
two point to million dollars. Oh there you go. Oh yeah, okay,
(12:14):
I guess I would take Eli Manning career. Then, all right,
that's question Jonas. I just who's more likely to get
into the to the Hall of Fame out of the two?
Eli Manning, he's a he's a Manning. Come on, I
think so he gets it because he's a Manning. Yeah,
Ty goes to to the Mannings like that's in Jonas's defense.
(12:35):
If it was Matt Manning his first ballot, I don't
know if his first ballot. But I think with his
stats he's a former m v P. Well, he's a Manning.
It was, he's a Matt Manning. He's a first Manning
had a first ballot Hall of Fame career, Eli Manning. No,
(12:55):
but but I think he'll get in. Okay, first ballot.
I mean, I'll put it this way. No, and that's
coming up, isn't it. Isn't that coming up? Matt Manning.
It's just uh, it just Matt seems like it would
not be on the list of choices for the Manning family. Eli, Peyton, Cooper,
Matt like it. Just put it this way. Ryan will
(13:17):
have better stats. He who have gone to the same
amount of Pro Bowls, if not more by the end
of it. And he's been a first team All Pro,
he's been an m v P um and so take
it for whatever it's worth. Like, I don't even know
that their stats are comparable when it's all said and done.
But man, he's got two Super Bowls. So so there
it is, your your former teammate. You know, I mean,
(13:40):
crazy man, because I could have been in those two
those Super Bowls. What is the deal with the member
pilious stuff? LaVar I mean, you had to have been
there where you were seeing some shuffling going on, Like,
I don't know anything about it was first I've heard
of it. It's just I'm just I'm just wondering why,
um and again not you know, I don't know this
for certain, but I've heard rumblings. I'm just wondering why
(14:02):
certain people were wearing certain jerseys in pregame warm ups
and then taking them off and giving them to somebody
and then switching that out for a game war in Jersey,
but claiming that that was a game war in Jersey,
you know, the one that they just maybe it was
game war, just not as game warn as you thought.
It was, just not when the I don't know anything
about what you're talking. That's not like that. I mean
(14:24):
a lot of people do that. M hm. You know
it feels like, you know, when you when you purchased
a game War in Jersey, did you ever change your
jersey at or change your uniform at halftime ever at
any point in time? Quinn, No, see I did, and
I sure those reasons. Yeah, but again I won't I
(14:46):
don't know anything about that. But all I'm saying is
I have changed my jersey. I have changed my cleats.
There have even been times where I have changed my
pants depending on how bad the weather was. And you know,
I like not feeling like going into the second half
like damp and wet. Like I just I just didn't.
(15:11):
I just I didn't like it. I didn't like it.
I changed everything, my socks, my cleat double the amount
of I don't know what you're talking about. You know
what you're talking about. You don't want to know. What's
crazy is though my most my most important underguard and
(15:34):
my practice jerseys were all stolen, every last one of them.
I used to wear eleven and practice my my eleven
practice jersey and the pros somebody stole it. Patrick Ramsey
that I had a kid. I had a kid. I
had a kid give me a Captain America shirt because, uh,
when I was as this thing in in in high school,
(15:57):
these these kids they're like, man like, You're like Captain
America to me. And the kid gifted me at a
camp that I did a Captain America's shirt and I
wore that thing. I felt like Richie Vallen's bro like.
I wore that thing my entire career and it got stolen.
Somebody stole it and and I don't know, I don't
I still don't know where those things are to this
(16:19):
day and if they would even pop up somewhere for
for sale. But like I felt pretty like invincible with
my Captain America's shirt on under my pad for the
longest time. I'm wearing a Third Foundation Blue Jacket tournament shirt. Yeah,
that's performed like Captain American. There. There's the whole moonshine
(16:45):
thing that I used to do with my granddad too.
And the one season that I didn't do moonshine with him,
I started getting injuries. I never got sick, I never
got hurt. And the one time that I didn't go
out back and how left the moon with my and
with some some some shine, I got hurt. You're doing
it one on game days, you're doing moonshine or woh no,
(17:07):
like like the off off time over the summer. You know,
you go visit your family and stuff like that. You know,
we do. You know, athletes do go visit their families
and stuff like that. Yeah. So I was with my
granddad and we would do it every year every year
for like five six years. We did it for we had,
like our little routine some moonshine. Uh, what do you

Less than twenty minutes from now, We're gonna have another
edition of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly handouts
some midweek awards here on Fox Sports Radio. Do want
to let you know before we get into this conversation
about somebody who apparently thought they were going one place
(19:25):
and all of a sudden looked around and said, you know,
I think you could get more money here and went
somewhere else. I want to let you know we are
brought to you by Discover. If you're a valued customer,
you deserve a simple gesture of appreciation from your credit
card company, and that's what Discover matches. All the cash
back you've earned at the end of your first year
Discover exceptionally common sense learn more discover dot Com. Slash
match limitations apply. So, um, Zadarius Smith, the linebacker from
(19:50):
the Green Bay Packers. Uh. He missed last year. I
think he had the back issue as we missed the
majority of the season last year. But um he Uh.
He is signed to stay in the Division. Two time
pro bowler. He's got a three year deal worth forty
two million dollars. He's going to be signing with the
Minnesota Vikings. Reports say the deal could be up to
(20:11):
forty seven million. Um. But it's weird because I thought
he was going to the Ravens. I thought that was happening.
And one of the reports out there is he saw
some of the money that von Miller and others were
getting to he was like, whoa hold on, let me
go ahead and you know, kick the tires on this.
And he ended up getting reportedly more money from Minnesota.
So now he's on his way to the NFC North. Yeah.
(20:33):
Let me do the math on this, okay. So he
originally agreed to a four year deal. We're thirty five
million and they say up to fifty million. Okay, let
me explain that in Layman's terms, to people out there, Uh,
he ain't making the extra fifteen million on that contract,
all right. It's it's all sorts of stuff where they'd
have to you know, go to like two super Bowls.
(20:53):
He maybe have to be Super one m VP. There's
there's a lot of unlikely to be earned incentives that
are thrown in there. But ut, whoever's a Darius Smith's
agent is he likes to throw that around. What's thirty
five but eight could be fifty. That's a big number, right,
let's throw that out there. So that was originally what
he was going to sign for, right and you know,
simple math would tell us, you know, four years into
(21:17):
thirty five million, it's a little under nine million per year. Well,
he started seeing what everyone else was signing for. I
was like, hold on a second, let me just go
ahead and moonwalk back on out of this feel smooth
and slow and see what else this market looks like.
And meanwhile, he found more value with the Minnesota Vikings
(21:38):
on a shorter deal, which is great for any player,
especially when you get more money. So it's a three
year deal forty two million. So instead of making an
average annual salary of a little under nine million, a year.
Now he's making fourteen million per year and he's still
got a little upside two with the max value in
Minnesota being close to forty seven, again unlikely to be earned.
(21:58):
That's why I don't talking about that stuff when you
see it. But um, that's the difference is he was
able to, literally just by doing the moonwalk, make an
extra five million per years. So kids out there, if
you're listening, learn how to moonwalk is. Sometimes it can
work out for you really well in negotiations. How about that.
I mean the moonwalk is pretty smooth, but I mean
(22:21):
going to Minnesota executed correctly. I mean it looks like
like you have. I don't even know what that looks like.
Did Prince do the moonwalk? Michael Jackson? And I know
Michael Jackson, Prince did some variation of the moon Yeah
I did. Yeah, But Michael Jackson, do you know what
you're talking? Every time? Yeah, Jonas or LaVar. Look, every
(22:45):
time Jonas brings up Prince, he knows that's like my
soft spot for me. It's Minnesota. Prince's Minnesota. Yeah. But
was a good looking man, man, It was a good
look at that. Just every time, I mean, I get
more uncomfortable every time you tell it that was there
(23:09):
anything that Prince could not do um at the moment
in time of of the feelings that I was feeling
when partaking in uh spectating his concert, I would say, no, No,
there wasn't anything he could have done wrong. I mean,
it's just found yourself staring like like Prince. I mean, look,
(23:35):
it's you know, not the way everybody maybe trying to
make this out to be. I mean, I'm not trying
to make that funny. No, I'm not saying you. I'm
sure there's a lot of people out there like man
levard like you. You No, no, I don't, But I'm
just saying, Prince, just you and you'll never know now,
like all and you know what I feel bad about
(23:56):
for you to you know what I feel bad about
for you Jonas and every body out there who didn't
get this opportunity that I got, you'll never get it.
He's gone, Yeah, he had an aura about him forgetting
There's people like that where they've got an aura about
them or you know that feeling when people say, oh,
they walked into the room, they like light up the
(24:17):
room with their smile. Like I've been around people like
that where you're just saying, man, they just had a
good energy about them. There's something about thanks, man, That's
that's all. I was talking to a little far about friends.
I don't know what it was. It just was just
it just made you feel weird. Like Jamie Fox talked
about it and one of his specials like you looked
(24:37):
at him, didn't you? You looked at him? And when
I saw it, it was like years later that I
saw him in concert. All I can think about when
I looked at him, I was like Jamie Fox. I
can hear Jamie Fox talking to me, like directly to me,
like almost like if it was like a movie, you
know what I mean. And I looked to my left
(24:57):
Jamie Fox appeared and was sitting right next to me.
It was like, yeah, you looked at him, didn't you, Like,
And I had to look at and be like dang,
like yeah I did. Like Prince was a bad man,
I'll tell you. The music was super super dope, So
it was a great are in the music. And listen
I've been on I've been in a lot of amazing
(25:19):
environments for music, you know. I mean, I've been on
stage with Luther Van Dross, numerous times. I've been front
row with Stevie Wonder and he shouted me out, like,
you know, like pointed at me. It was super dope.
Hold hold hold yeah, Stevie Wonder pointed at you, acknowledged
me in the stand in the front rows. You know,
how do you know what you're standing? Yeah? I'm well,
(25:48):
But there are some stories out there about Stevie Wonder. Well,
there was a part where I guess a mic stand
was falling over and he caught it, and how do
you know it's fall You have to understand that the
senses are so overwhelmingly. I mean, like he probably heard
(26:09):
the pair of eyes would probably need to be needed
for them, something like that. Though something in front of
you know, because you can hear it, You can hear
it going here and you can feel it the wind
mike stand. It's not a building. Do you understand how
heavy mike stands are at the bottom. You're talking to
a former singer. What do you mean but the singer
(26:29):
you would least said Sean elway over there. You know.
I introduced jay Z onto stage once before, and Beyonce
was standing right behind me on stage while jay Z
was performing. Do you go about doing that, because I
feel like you've got to be the ultimate hype man.
(26:50):
You know, I'm a hype dude, and I definitely was
hyping it. And there were a lot of Ravens fans
in there. So the way I really got it popping
because I heard a couple of booze from some Ravens
fans like, oh oh, are you guys Ravens fans a
Ravens fans, They were like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like,
but you're in the house that the r bleeps built.
(27:13):
You know, that was back when you could say it,
you know what I mean. It wouldn't sound as well
saying you're in the house that the commandos built. It
just wouldn't have sounded the same way. But I did say,
he's trying to say the the Washington Redskins potatoes. Yeah,
very good. I mean, will they change potatoes? Behind it?
You can say, will they changed will they change that?
(27:33):
Will they change that? Will it have to be commando potatoes? Now? Anyway,
The point is the point. The point that I was
making was, um, I said that this was the house
that that they built, and then all of them came
to life, and it was like, but today it's hoves House.
Say it with me? Is hoves House? Come on? Say
(27:56):
it with me? Is hoves Out. Everybody was like, oh oh,
I'm like come on this stay come on y'all. Oh.
Then the music came on. I was like, man, it's
like I really rehearsed this, Like the DJ was in
in sync with me, Like he came in with the music.
And then did you heard right? Like like like like,
(28:18):
however he does his home whatever, how he does his
hope does that the way Hope does his hope of
that face, he doesn't. It sounds like he's having asthma attack.
Well maybe you didn't get the same experience I got
looking at Prince, but I was trying to give you
what it is I could give you. Sound like the
Charger security guard right there. Anyways, I didn't get excited
(28:44):
like I did, like, well, that's that's the wrong way
of going about it. I did not feel the same
feeling that one doesn't work out. All I'm saying is
I got a different feeling when I looked at Prince
versus anybody else I had seen a concert before. That's all.
This is not a guilty at missions. It's just a
(29:06):
reals just don't have to defend yoursel under attack. That's
why when everybody was ball washing, I'm under attack. When
everybody was ball washing the Super Bowl halftime show, and
how great it was. It was like, dude, Prince played
in the rain. He played an electric guitar in the
room purple rain. It would not have been as good
(29:28):
if it didn't rain on Prince for that performance. Yeah,
that's all I'm gonna say. A wet Prince was a
better Prince. And come Jesus, Jesus, wet Prince. A wet
Prince was better. The memory of a wet Prince from
(29:49):
the super Bowl. That even Trump's janet and justin Timberlace.
All right, it is a two pros that cup of Joe.

bad and all right, lead lap, who's got what? What
are our responsibilities here? Let's start with good news, LaVar?
What is good this week? I mean, come on, let's
be real here about good all right, Let's go to
state college Penn State. Oh yeah we yeah, pen Baby,
(32:31):
our wrestling team has yet another n c A A
championship under their under their belts. Yeah they are super amazing,
they are. You know, it's what you go to Penn
State four basically is to go win uh championship. So
(32:51):
uh Chaos Sunderson, Uh Sanderson, I mean he's he's been amazing.
Um shots out to them. Um yeah, r b Y
he's my my favorite Roman Bravo Young He's he's my favorite.
But there are some really really good, good players and
they have their well five national championships going on now.
(33:13):
So shots out the pen state. By the way, kle
Sanderson looks like he uh still get it would beat
anybody's ash. You can still get it. Frightening. Yeah, we
are baby, we are man. Congrats that that is what
they have. Five guys win, Yeah, something to that effective.
It was ridiculous. Well, you know we we are a
(33:34):
wrestling and women's volleyball school and it's funny. Linebacker, are
you too? Don't forget? Well they fall like third or
fourth on you know, on the list of important sports
go figure, maybe the most popular. But we are not
the winners. Well, you guys can't have the good without
the bad. Jonas, what was bad? Pretty easy? My bracket?
(33:56):
Thank you? What was closed? Both for my My bracket
is not good at all. It's it's bad. I've I've
lost a lot of games so far in our Fox
Sports Radio Bracket Challenge. Now I've still got two of
my final four teams left, Duke and Villanova, but I
(34:17):
lost early on. I lost several games San Diego State
going to the Elite eight. I don't know what I
was thinking, why I even made that pick. Uh, you know,
I felt, uh Santa, I don't think San Jose's well
you too, well, who did you take to? Uh South Dakota?
(34:37):
But you know, and also I feel like I'm not
totally at fault. I would like to also blame Notre Dame. Um,
they were getting every call in that game over the
weekend and still couldn't put it together to win that
game on Sunday, and so so because of that, Notre
Dame also cost me points. So there's my bad for
the week, my bracket this far, our bracket challenge. And
(34:57):
Brady let us know what was ugly this week. Well,
if you thought your Brackett was bad, Charles Barkley's Brackett
was so bad he didn't want to talk about it.
Things got a little ugly as they were talking about
some other subjects just to distract from how bad as
Brackett actually was. To take a listen, I got this
embracement from a guy in the steam room back in
the area, Kitty, I could ask him questions you please.
(35:30):
I was laid. I saw this guy wearing this in
the team room and I know this, bark. What did
you ask? And I did. We were talking about high
embracements send for and I asked him. I didn't ask
him for. So we we get we get on this team.
When we get dressed, he said, he come to he's
a bad You can have an embracement. Hey man, whatever
(35:52):
your name is, thank you for my brason. He's not
done there. Text me some distraction distraction tactics to take
a listen to this. He doesn't have the girth that
you had. I'm dont saying, Okay, how about it, he
(36:12):
doesn't have. The fact he doesn't have is never good.
I don't know that that's actually true, but let's let's
just go ahead and say things got ugly there for
Chuck with his bracket. But nonetheless great television, very entertained.
(36:32):
Best best thing about watching the NBA is the T
n T coverage every And I'm like, I actually don't
care if the game is bad as long as I
can see those guys at halftime and then those guys
in the post game, and then when they bring them
on and look, we understand that they don't know college
basketball in and out, like you know some of these
(36:53):
other guys that are on there, like a Clark Kellogg
or some of these other people. But they get on
there and for the entertainment factor, those guys are phenomenal.
Him and Kenny Smith killing every single time. What does
girth mean? What is the definition of Um? We got enough? Lee?
Can we look up the actual definition of girth? I
(37:14):
here on the air, that is, make sure you tell
Brady what you just said. Roberto makes I said, there's
a picture of Berto next to the definition. So I'm
I'm trying to figure out what's going to be the
measurement around the middle of something, especially a person's waste. Oh,
they're waste, all right, there you go, yis, that's the words.
(37:40):
It's a synonymous word. Okay, nice, nothing wrong with that.
I told you I'm obis yesterday. Listen. Uh would you
rather be girthy OBEs? Maybe they're synonymous. Maybe maybe I've
been looking at myself all wrong. Yeah, maybe my girth
is good now? Oh Man, all right, I just you know,
(38:02):
I feel like this our three you got the girths

(01:02):
right here on fs ARE. A lot of movement in
uh cr crank Rocket, crank Rocket. Uh yeah, yeah, that's uh,
he's part of crank Rocket. Uh. You know. Funny speaking
of Jim Crank Rocket while you're singing your song. Well,
(01:23):
I mean it sounds like a fun time for all
you know. Uh, they've thrown a few on the field
and Buffalo here they made a new song called the
Ryan Sings. Yeah, is that what it is? Yeah? Okay,
because Jim Mercy does have a brand new quarterback. His
name is Matt Ryan. So, uh, the revolving door of
(01:43):
starting quarterbacks in Indianapolis continues on. Matt Ryan is there
with the Indianapolis Colts. Uh. Now, he first decided he
wanted to do address his timing, the decision to leave
the Atlanta Falcons. He was there for well over a
deck aid here was Matt Ryan being introduced in Indianapolis yesterday. Ultimately,
(02:05):
it came down to a decision between either staying in
Atlanta or coming here to Indianapolis. And I just knew
with the roster that they talked about, their belief in
the players that they have here, the belief in the
way that they do things, the time was just right
for me. And so basically Atlanta stinks in Indianapolis doesn't.
Is that really? Is that really what he's said? Basically
to have better personnel and way more belief in their
(02:28):
personnel and their their tape than Atlanta do. So it
was the perfect time for me to get the hell
about it out of the A. Probably. Look, if they're
not rumored to have talked to Deshaun Watson, is he
still Atlanta Falcon? Uh? Yes? Probably? Um? Yeah, I mean yeah.
(02:51):
It feels like he handled this much differently than Baker
Mayfield did, because you know, Cleveland was rumored to talk
to him, and it was like Matt Ryan have understood
the situation a little bit more than Baker Mayfield did. Um.
And I want I wonder if Indianapolis, if it came
down to both quarterbacks rumored you know, to be on
the way out if Deshaun Watson goes there. Do you
(03:13):
think Indianapolis took into account Baker Mayfield and the way
he handled the rumors and maybe chose Matt Ryan because
I don't know more of a quote unquote adult. Uh.
And maybe that's part of the reason behind the decision.
But Q hit on this. I think maybe yesterday Matt
Ryan has a whole entire career behind him, like this
(03:35):
is another chapter to what many would say has been
I mean, maybe not as brilliant as the most brilliant
But and it's all right, it's been a brilliant career
for for Matt Ryan. So what he's feeling and what
Baker Mayfield is feeling are two separate things too, two
(03:56):
entirely different things. Now they both may feel though they're
under appreciated, maybe even under valued right now. Maybe they
they own more of the blame than what they are.
You know, we're comfortable with, but that's what comes with
the position. But when you're a former m v P,
I think you feel a little bit differently about how
(04:19):
people value you. You can't take away what your your
accomplishments are. So I think that, first of all, Matt
Ryan has always been that type of dude anyway, He's
he's been class personified from from day one, and and
that's only improved as as he's grown older. Baker Mayfield
is a little bit more brash, he's a little bit
(04:40):
more a little a little bit more edgier. Are you
saying that Matt Ryan has earned the right and Baker
Mayfield hasn't. I mean, if that's how you want to
tell it, that's your interpretation of it. Sure, But but
but Baker Mayfield still he still has so much more
to prove versus what he's already proven and what he's
(05:02):
going to do moving forward. Like you would say that
there's the possibility some way, somehow that Baker Mayfield could
have better days ahead of him than him his better
days being behind him. So, I mean there's a lot
there to that it could go either way with Baker Mayfield.
But with Matt Ryan, I think you know exactly what
(05:24):
you may be getting. You know, you're getting a leader.
You know you're getting someone who's a professional, and they're
gonna put the work in. They're gonna put the time in.
People are going to enjoy him um as a teammate,
you know those things. So it's just a safe pick
for certain There they've traded for something that's a known commodity.
You know, for the most part, what you're getting from
(05:45):
Matt Ryan now, is this best football still ahead of him?
Probably not. I mean he's a four time Pro Bowl
or former m v PS, win an NFC championship, and
at his age it's it's seldom we see guys play
at the level for example Aaron Rodgers has or Tom
Brady has at those ages. Maybe Matt Ryan will fall
on their footsteps. I don't know, But what we do
(06:06):
know is more of what Matt Ryan has been and
what he is as a quarterback than Baker Mayfield, who's
been a roller coaster ride great year one, bad year
to great year three, down year four and and no
team wants to come out every day and deal with
emotions or a roller coaster ride. And those are two
(06:28):
things that if you ask people around the NFL how
they view Baker Mayfield, they would say there's some immaturity there,
There's there's some emotion there. Some guys like it. Some
guys say he's got fire. You know, he's got fire
in the belly, they'd say. But with Matt Ryan, is
LaVar pointed out, he's handled it much more diplomatic because
he's he's you know, he's got a career behind him
(06:49):
where you go, look what he's done. I mean, you
know what you're getting through the Colts and Matt Ryan.
I don't know that you could say that if you
were Frank Bryk in the Colts training for Baker Mayfield.
They're the thing I'd say is this is about respect.
Like Baker Mayfield felt disrespected by the Browns because of
the past four years he's put in and what he's done.
(07:10):
I don't know that you have quite that cloud yet
until you get to that second contract with the organization
and they've really invested in you. Matt Ryan has made
over two hundred and sixty million dollars with the Atlantic, okay,
and and there's a certain amount of like, Hey, I've
won an NFC championship for you. I came here after
(07:31):
everything happened with Mike Vick, and I brought this I
helped bring this thing back around. And they've been pretty
successful at periods of time, even though recently they've gone
through this this downward spiral, he's gotten more of an
issue and more I think of a case to be
feeled disrespected by the Falcons looking at a guy who,
(07:55):
he says, twenty two civil cases against him, has a
worse injury history, and hasn't even been a league MVP
or really within that mentioning. He's been really good and
he showed upside, but that's been it, and so I
think he's got more of a case to say, hold
on a second. I mean, I've been the best player
(08:16):
in the league one year. I've been to a Super Bowl,
I've won you a lot of games, and you're gonna
go talk to this guy. I've done everything right on
the field off the field for you when you moved
on from a guy who didn't, and now you're gonna
go talk to this guy. Like, if that's what you want, okay.
But I'm out like, like, it's not that complicated to
(08:36):
think that he wouldn't or even shouldn't feel that way
given what Matt Ryan has accomplished. Uh and Matt Ryan
also spoke a yesterday about how much he looks at
the future and what he thinks his shelf life is
remaining in his NFL career. You know, I've said from
the start, I'd like to play as long as I can.
(08:57):
I feel really good, my body feels really good. I
still feel like I can play at as high a
level as as I ever have, And as long as
I feel good and feel like I can play well,
I'm gonna I'm gonna try and play. I played in
a division that it was Tom Brady, Drew Brees and
then me, you know, at one point and I was like,
that's the thing, maybe thirty five at the time when
(09:18):
I was doing that, and I was like, no, I
feel young times like forty three and Drew's forty one.
I like that. You know, I'm still pretty young. Uh,
it's it definitely changes, you know, quickly. But I feel good,
I really do. You know. My body feels my body
feels great. I feel like I've gotten into a space
where I know how to take care of myself. I
know what I need to do in order to train,
(09:38):
and so I don't feel like an old man. All right,
here's the question, because it is the shot at at Atlanta.
By the way, just so you know, that was a
shot because a lot of people, a lot of people
kind of made created the narrative that he was washed
like this he was that was it. He he was
old and and he just didn't have it anymore. He
(10:01):
just addressed it very like, very clearly too. By the way. Okay,
so it's Indianapolis and they have not been able to
keep a quarterback longer than one year since Frank Gregor
has been there over under one and a half years.
Over you think, I think easily over. I think easily
it'll be over. I mean you have to understand they're
(10:22):
getting something similar to what they had in Philip Rivers.
I think as far as the production, the talent that
the playing from the pocket passing. But he's he's younger.
He's not at that point in time and his career
where he's ready to hang it up right. Rivers was
older when he went in for the one year. So
I think he's at least got two more good years,
you know, maybe three or four. I mean, he looks
(10:43):
to be in good shape. I think you put him
behind that offensive line. It's a different store than what
he's been dealing with in Atlanta. Whether they have been
trying to draft and develop and it just hasn't worked out.
And I mean, for God's sakes, you gotta you've got
a wide receiver converted wide receiver returner playing running back.
You know, it's like that that place has fallen by
the wayside, very very quickly. It's uh, and and and
(11:08):
so you just look at his career. So if he wins,
if Matt Ryan wins a Super Bowl, he's a Hall
of Famer. Like if you look at his numbers, he's
he's top ten all time in passing yards. I believe
he's top ten all time in touch with the super Bowl,
he's a first ballot Hall of Famer. I think he's
still I think he still gets the not just not
(11:29):
first ballot, then you're not. I'm not sure how long
it would take, but I think he's had a Hall
of Fame career. Would you rather have his career? Eli Mannings? Oh,
I think I would say that. Two super Bowls? Yeah,
two sixty million dollars. Well, how much did you lot make?
He made over? Oh that's true because all the memorabilia sales. Yeah,
(11:51):
I forgot about that. I don't know if that was said.
They've never played a season under a discount in their
life or you know, any other had any other contract
or anything. By the way, Eli Manning made two fifty
two point to million dollars. Oh there you go. Oh yeah, okay,
(12:14):
I guess I would take Eli Manning career. Then, all right,
that's question Jonas. I just who's more likely to get
into the to the Hall of Fame out of the two?
Eli Manning, he's a he's a Manning. Come on, I
think so he gets it because he's a Manning. Yeah,
Ty goes to to the Mannings like that's in Jonas's defense.
(12:35):
If it was Matt Manning his first ballot, I don't
know if his first ballot. But I think with his
stats he's a former m v P. Well, he's a Manning.
It was, he's a Matt Manning. He's a first Manning
had a first ballot Hall of Fame career, Eli Manning. No,
(12:55):
but but I think he'll get in. Okay, first ballot.
I mean, I'll put it this way. No, and that's
coming up, isn't it. Isn't that coming up? Matt Manning.
It's just uh, it just Matt seems like it would
not be on the list of choices for the Manning family. Eli, Peyton, Cooper,
Matt like it. Just put it this way. Ryan will
(13:17):
have better stats. He who have gone to the same
amount of Pro Bowls, if not more by the end
of it. And he's been a first team All Pro,
he's been an m v P um and so take
it for whatever it's worth. Like, I don't even know
that their stats are comparable when it's all said and done.
But man, he's got two Super Bowls. So so there
it is, your your former teammate. You know, I mean,
(13:40):
crazy man, because I could have been in those two
those Super Bowls. What is the deal with the member
pilious stuff? LaVar I mean, you had to have been
there where you were seeing some shuffling going on, Like,
I don't know anything about it was first I've heard
of it. It's just I'm just I'm just wondering why,
um and again not you know, I don't know this
for certain, but I've heard rumblings. I'm just wondering why
(14:02):
certain people were wearing certain jerseys in pregame warm ups
and then taking them off and giving them to somebody
and then switching that out for a game war in Jersey,
but claiming that that was a game war in Jersey,
you know, the one that they just maybe it was
game war, just not as game warn as you thought.
It was, just not when the I don't know anything
about what you're talking. That's not like that. I mean
(14:24):
a lot of people do that. M hm. You know
it feels like, you know, when you when you purchased
a game War in Jersey, did you ever change your
jersey at or change your uniform at halftime ever at
any point in time? Quinn, No, see I did, and
I sure those reasons. Yeah, but again I won't I
(14:46):
don't know anything about that. But all I'm saying is
I have changed my jersey. I have changed my cleats.
There have even been times where I have changed my
pants depending on how bad the weather was. And you know,
I like not feeling like going into the second half
like damp and wet. Like I just I just didn't.
(15:11):
I just I didn't like it. I didn't like it.
I changed everything, my socks, my cleat double the amount
of I don't know what you're talking about. You know
what you're talking about. You don't want to know. What's
crazy is though my most my most important underguard and
(15:34):
my practice jerseys were all stolen, every last one of them.
I used to wear eleven and practice my my eleven
practice jersey and the pros somebody stole it. Patrick Ramsey
that I had a kid. I had a kid. I
had a kid give me a Captain America shirt because, uh,
when I was as this thing in in in high school,
(15:57):
these these kids they're like, man like, You're like Captain
America to me. And the kid gifted me at a
camp that I did a Captain America's shirt and I
wore that thing. I felt like Richie Vallen's bro like.
I wore that thing my entire career and it got stolen.
Somebody stole it and and I don't know, I don't
I still don't know where those things are to this
(16:19):
day and if they would even pop up somewhere for
for sale. But like I felt pretty like invincible with
my Captain America's shirt on under my pad for the
longest time. I'm wearing a Third Foundation Blue Jacket tournament shirt. Yeah,
that's performed like Captain American. There. There's the whole moonshine
(16:45):
thing that I used to do with my granddad too.
And the one season that I didn't do moonshine with him,
I started getting injuries. I never got sick, I never
got hurt. And the one time that I didn't go
out back and how left the moon with my and
with some some some shine, I got hurt. You're doing
it one on game days, you're doing moonshine or woh no,
(17:07):
like like the off off time over the summer. You know,
you go visit your family and stuff like that. You know,
we do. You know, athletes do go visit their families
and stuff like that. Yeah. So I was with my
granddad and we would do it every year every year
for like five six years. We did it for we had,
like our little routine some moonshine. Uh, what do you

match limitations apply. So, um, Zadarius Smith, the linebacker from
(19:50):
the Green Bay Packers. Uh. He missed last year. I
think he had the back issue as we missed the
majority of the season last year. But um he Uh.
He is signed to stay in the Division. Two time
pro bowler. He's got a three year deal worth forty
two million dollars. He's going to be signing with the
Minnesota Vikings. Reports say the deal could be up to
(20:11):
forty seven million. Um. But it's weird because I thought
he was going to the Ravens. I thought that was happening.
And one of the reports out there is he saw
some of the money that von Miller and others were
getting to he was like, whoa hold on, let me
go ahead and you know, kick the tires on this.
And he ended up getting reportedly more money from Minnesota.
So now he's on his way to the NFC North. Yeah.
(20:33):
Let me do the math on this, okay. So he
originally agreed to a four year deal. We're thirty five
million and they say up to fifty million. Okay, let
me explain that in Layman's terms, to people out there, Uh,
he ain't making the extra fifteen million on that contract,
all right. It's it's all sorts of stuff where they'd
have to you know, go to like two super Bowls.
(20:53):
He maybe have to be Super one m VP. There's
there's a lot of unlikely to be earned incentives that
are thrown in there. But ut, whoever's a Darius Smith's
agent is he likes to throw that around. What's thirty
five but eight could be fifty. That's a big number, right,
let's throw that out there. So that was originally what
he was going to sign for, right and you know,
simple math would tell us, you know, four years into
(21:17):
thirty five million, it's a little under nine million per year. Well,
he started seeing what everyone else was signing for. I
was like, hold on a second, let me just go
ahead and moonwalk back on out of this feel smooth
and slow and see what else this market looks like.
And meanwhile, he found more value with the Minnesota Vikings
(21:38):
on a shorter deal, which is great for any player,
especially when you get more money. So it's a three
year deal forty two million. So instead of making an
average annual salary of a little under nine million, a year.
Now he's making fourteen million per year and he's still
got a little upside two with the max value in
Minnesota being close to forty seven, again unlikely to be earned.
(21:58):
That's why I don't talking about that stuff when you
see it. But um, that's the difference is he was
able to, literally just by doing the moonwalk, make an
extra five million per years. So kids out there, if
you're listening, learn how to moonwalk is. Sometimes it can
work out for you really well in negotiations. How about that.
I mean the moonwalk is pretty smooth, but I mean
(22:21):
going to Minnesota executed correctly. I mean it looks like
like you have. I don't even know what that looks like.
Did Prince do the moonwalk? Michael Jackson? And I know
Michael Jackson, Prince did some variation of the moon Yeah
I did. Yeah, But Michael Jackson, do you know what
you're talking? Every time? Yeah, Jonas or LaVar. Look, every
(22:45):
time Jonas brings up Prince, he knows that's like my
soft spot for me. It's Minnesota. Prince's Minnesota. Yeah. But
was a good looking man, man, It was a good
look at that. Just every time, I mean, I get
more uncomfortable every time you tell it that was there
(23:09):
anything that Prince could not do um at the moment
in time of of the feelings that I was feeling
when partaking in uh spectating his concert, I would say, no, No,
there wasn't anything he could have done wrong. I mean,
it's just found yourself staring like like Prince. I mean, look,
(23:35):
it's you know, not the way everybody maybe trying to
make this out to be. I mean, I'm not trying
to make that funny. No, I'm not saying you. I'm
sure there's a lot of people out there like man
levard like you. You No, no, I don't, But I'm
just saying, Prince, just you and you'll never know now,
like all and you know what I feel bad about
(23:56):
for you to you know what I feel bad about
for you Jonas and every body out there who didn't
get this opportunity that I got, you'll never get it.
He's gone, Yeah, he had an aura about him forgetting
There's people like that where they've got an aura about
them or you know that feeling when people say, oh,
they walked into the room, they like light up the
(24:17):
room with their smile. Like I've been around people like
that where you're just saying, man, they just had a
good energy about them. There's something about thanks, man, That's
that's all. I was talking to a little far about friends.
I don't know what it was. It just was just
it just made you feel weird. Like Jamie Fox talked
about it and one of his specials like you looked
(24:37):
at him, didn't you? You looked at him? And when
I saw it, it was like years later that I
saw him in concert. All I can think about when
I looked at him, I was like Jamie Fox. I
can hear Jamie Fox talking to me, like directly to me,
like almost like if it was like a movie, you
know what I mean. And I looked to my left
(24:57):
Jamie Fox appeared and was sitting right next to me.
It was like, yeah, you looked at him, didn't you, Like,
And I had to look at and be like dang,
like yeah I did. Like Prince was a bad man,
I'll tell you. The music was super super dope, So
it was a great are in the music. And listen
I've been on I've been in a lot of amazing
(25:19):
environments for music, you know. I mean, I've been on
stage with Luther Van Dross, numerous times. I've been front
row with Stevie Wonder and he shouted me out, like,
you know, like pointed at me. It was super dope.
Hold hold hold yeah, Stevie Wonder pointed at you, acknowledged
me in the stand in the front rows. You know,
how do you know what you're standing? Yeah? I'm well,
(25:48):
But there are some stories out there about Stevie Wonder. Well,
there was a part where I guess a mic stand
was falling over and he caught it, and how do
you know it's fall You have to understand that the
senses are so overwhelmingly. I mean, like he probably heard
(26:09):
the pair of eyes would probably need to be needed
for them, something like that. Though something in front of
you know, because you can hear it, You can hear
it going here and you can feel it the wind
mike stand. It's not a building. Do you understand how
heavy mike stands are at the bottom. You're talking to
a former singer. What do you mean but the singer
(26:29):
you would least said Sean elway over there. You know.
I introduced jay Z onto stage once before, and Beyonce
was standing right behind me on stage while jay Z
was performing. Do you go about doing that, because I
feel like you've got to be the ultimate hype man.
(26:50):
You know, I'm a hype dude, and I definitely was
hyping it. And there were a lot of Ravens fans
in there. So the way I really got it popping
because I heard a couple of booze from some Ravens
fans like, oh oh, are you guys Ravens fans a
Ravens fans, They were like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like,
but you're in the house that the r bleeps built.
(27:13):
You know, that was back when you could say it,
you know what I mean. It wouldn't sound as well
saying you're in the house that the commandos built. It
just wouldn't have sounded the same way. But I did say,
he's trying to say the the Washington Redskins potatoes. Yeah,
very good. I mean, will they change potatoes? Behind it?
You can say, will they changed will they change that?
(27:33):
Will they change that? Will it have to be commando potatoes? Now? Anyway,
The point is the point. The point that I was
making was, um, I said that this was the house
that that they built, and then all of them came
to life, and it was like, but today it's hoves House.
Say it with me? Is hoves House? Come on? Say
(27:56):
it with me? Is hoves Out. Everybody was like, oh oh,
I'm like come on this stay come on y'all. Oh.
Then the music came on. I was like, man, it's
like I really rehearsed this, Like the DJ was in
in sync with me, Like he came in with the music.
And then did you heard right? Like like like like,
(28:18):
however he does his home whatever, how he does his
hope does that the way Hope does his hope of
that face, he doesn't. It sounds like he's having asthma attack.
Well maybe you didn't get the same experience I got
looking at Prince, but I was trying to give you
what it is I could give you. Sound like the
Charger security guard right there. Anyways, I didn't get excited
(28:44):
like I did, like, well, that's that's the wrong way
of going about it. I did not feel the same
feeling that one doesn't work out. All I'm saying is
I got a different feeling when I looked at Prince
versus anybody else I had seen a concert before. That's all.
This is not a guilty at missions. It's just a
(29:06):
reals just don't have to defend yoursel under attack. That's
why when everybody was ball washing, I'm under attack. When
everybody was ball washing the Super Bowl halftime show, and
how great it was. It was like, dude, Prince played
in the rain. He played an electric guitar in the
room purple rain. It would not have been as good
(29:28):
if it didn't rain on Prince for that performance. Yeah,
that's all I'm gonna say. A wet Prince was a
better Prince. And come Jesus, Jesus, wet Prince. A wet
Prince was better. The memory of a wet Prince from
(29:49):
the super Bowl. That even Trump's janet and justin Timberlace.
All right, it is a two pros that cup of Joe.

What is good this week? I mean, come on, let's
be real here about good all right, Let's go to
state college Penn State. Oh yeah we yeah, pen Baby,
(32:31):
our wrestling team has yet another n c A A
championship under their under their belts. Yeah they are super amazing,
they are. You know, it's what you go to Penn
State four basically is to go win uh championship. So

Um shots out to them. Um yeah, r b Y
he's my my favorite Roman Bravo Young He's he's my favorite.
But there are some really really good, good players and

(33:13):
So shots out the pen state. By the way, kle
Sanderson looks like he uh still get it would beat

they have. Five guys win, Yeah, something to that effective.
It was ridiculous. Well, you know we we are a
(33:34):
wrestling and women's volleyball school and it's funny. Linebacker, are
you too? Don't forget? Well they fall like third or
fourth on you know, on the list of important sports
go figure, maybe the most popular. But we are not
the winners. Well, you guys can't have the good without
the bad. Jonas, what was bad? Pretty easy? My bracket?
(33:56):
Thank you? What was closed? Both for my My bracket
is not good at all. It's it's bad. I've I've
lost a lot of games so far in our Fox
Sports Radio Bracket Challenge. Now I've still got two of
my final four teams left, Duke and Villanova, but I
(34:17):
lost early on. I lost several games San Diego State
going to the Elite eight. I don't know what I
was thinking, why I even made that pick. Uh, you know,
I felt, uh Santa, I don't think San Jose's well
you too, well, who did you take to? Uh South Dakota?
(34:37):
But you know, and also I feel like I'm not
totally at fault. I would like to also blame Notre Dame. Um,
they were getting every call in that game over the
weekend and still couldn't put it together to win that
game on Sunday, and so so because of that, Notre
Dame also cost me points. So there's my bad for
the week, my bracket this far, our bracket challenge. And
(34:57):
Brady let us know what was ugly this week. Well,
if you thought your Brackett was bad, Charles Barkley's Brackett
was so bad he didn't want to talk about it.
Things got a little ugly as they were talking about
some other subjects just to distract from how bad as
Brackett actually was. To take a listen, I got this
embracement from a guy in the steam room back in
the area, Kitty, I could ask him questions you please.
(35:30):
I was laid. I saw this guy wearing this in
the team room and I know this, bark. What did
you ask? And I did. We were talking about high
embracements send for and I asked him. I didn't ask
him for. So we we get we get on this team.
When we get dressed, he said, he come to he's
a bad You can have an embracement. Hey man, whatever
(35:52):
your name is, thank you for my brason. He's not
done there. Text me some distraction distraction tactics to take
a listen to this. He doesn't have the girth that
you had. I'm dont saying, Okay, how about it, he
(36:12):
doesn't have. The fact he doesn't have is never good.
I don't know that that's actually true, but let's let's
just go ahead and say things got ugly there for
Chuck with his bracket. But nonetheless great television, very entertained.
(36:32):
Best best thing about watching the NBA is the T
n T coverage every And I'm like, I actually don't
care if the game is bad as long as I
can see those guys at halftime and then those guys
in the post game, and then when they bring them
on and look, we understand that they don't know college
basketball in and out, like you know some of these
(36:53):
other guys that are on there, like a Clark Kellogg
or some of these other people. But they get on
there and for the entertainment factor, those guys are phenomenal.
Him and Kenny Smith killing every single time. What does
girth mean? What is the definition of Um? We got enough? Lee?
Can we look up the actual definition of girth? I
(37:14):
here on the air, that is, make sure you tell
Brady what you just said. Roberto makes I said, there's
a picture of Berto next to the definition. So I'm
I'm trying to figure out what's going to be the
measurement around the middle of something, especially a person's waste. Oh,
they're waste, all right, there you go, yis, that's the words.
(37:40):
It's a synonymous word. Okay, nice, nothing wrong with that.
I told you I'm obis yesterday. Listen. Uh would you
rather be girthy OBEs? Maybe they're synonymous. Maybe maybe I've
been looking at myself all wrong. Yeah, maybe my girth
is good now? Oh Man, all right, I just you know,
(38:02):
I feel like this our three you got the girths
back man. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk
