So on, the NFL may look a little bit different
moving forward. Um. Obviously, Direct TV has had the rights
(01:05):
to Sunday Ticket to Watch all the games for years
and years and years now. But apparently, according to UH
Matthew Bologna of Puck News UH via Sports Business Journal UH,
the NFL Sunday ticket could be heading to Apple UH
and could be becoming a part of the streaming portion
of Apple there, which means no more Direct TV Sunday
(01:29):
ticket by the package four dollars or whatever it is.
If you own a bar or a restaurant or a
place of business, it's thousands upon thousands of dollars because
they charge per capacity depending on where you are. So
this could be UH the beginning of the end for
the NFL Sunday ticket UH via direct TV, and it
could be a switching over to a streaming platform. So
(01:51):
away we go, the NFL changing like we we've seen
for many years now is going to be looking a
lot different here moving forward according to this report, so
bummed out about it? No more, no more direct TV
Sunday ticket. There were feeling how we feeling about that?
Out about it? It's gonna be there, It's just gonna
be in a different form or provided by a different provider.
(02:12):
Like this is where the whole industry is going. You know,
more and more people are cord cutting there, there's sixty
million people who have gotten rid of cable and it's
never coming back. They are never going back to having
cable again. They'll just be streamers and that numbers growing.
So you know, this is a move that was eventually
(02:32):
going to take place from all the people I've talked to,
this last TV deal with the broadcast networks, it was
gonna be the last of it of its kind, meaning
you're gonna start to see more of these streaming networks,
whether it's Apple obviously in this case we're talking about
with with Sunday NFL ticket, Um, maybe Netflix makes a
move forward. Amazon Prime obviously has already got involved on
(02:54):
Thursday Night football. That's where all this is going. And
I'll tell you the other thing that's probably gonna be
up for forbidding on is the NFL's media division, the
NFL Network, that network in and of itself. I wouldn't
be shocked if it wasn't bought by whether it's Apple
or someone else who's looking involved. I mean, the NFL
Sunday Ticket was it was kind of an arm of
(03:14):
the NFL network, NFL Media enterprises, if I'm not mistaken.
So all of this is shifting because of the way
we consume now is shifting on TV and all that,
the biggest question becomes like are we ready for it?
Because one of the concerns like I have in watching
things that are streamed, especially live events, versus things that
(03:34):
are you know, provided via cable or even satellite for
that matter, is the connection. You know, if you don't
have a high enough WiFi speed or your Internet speed
isn't isn't fast enough, the streaming experience can be bad.
I think it could be outright unfun to be a
part of now. I think if you've had satellite or
you know, direct TV or any you know, any sort
(03:57):
of dish like that, you've you've probably experience that to
some degree in bad weather. But you know that's that's
really what's up for debate here is like, is the
the way the product is consumed? Is that going to
be an issue for consumers or viewers moving forward? If
the viewing isn't quite the same as what we're customed to,
I'm must say no, because the viewing experience is already different.
(04:22):
Like I'll never understand. I'm I'm big on big screen TVs,
like that's my jam. I love a big screen TV.
And I got these big old things, why thick screen
TVs all throughout my house and they generally don't get
(04:43):
turned on. And you'll see, I'll see I'll see my
six year old laying on her belly, like sitting on
the stairwell whatever it may be, streaming, kids sitting at
the in the kitchen area or a common area, different area,
or in their rooms streaming. Like I'll sit there. I'll
(05:03):
be watching a dope movie on my TV on my couch, comfortable, chilling,
and I'll see the dudes over there on their phones
and I'll be like, what are you doing? Watching Netflix?
Chilling on a phone. So and it's like, okay, I
couldn't understand it until Penn State was playing and I
(05:27):
was at volleyball games. See, it's it's the it's the
it's the idea of adjusting and adapting to being able
to consume your content the way you want to consume
your content, no matter where you are. Sometimes you're going
to be willing. I'm willing to take that moment of buffering.
(05:50):
I'm willing to accept that moment of I gotta reconnect
because I'm sitting out of volleyball game and no, I
am a good parent. I watch and my chair and
I don't even know volleyball. I try to coach her,
you know, but when she's not playing, and you gotta
be there all damn day. I want to be able
(06:12):
to consume my my my sports and and my programming.
And I think that we all have things that we
need to do during the course of a day. Where
it was like all right, TiVo. You know, recording was
a big thing for for a while, and and it's
still may continue to be a big thing to record
your programming. But for what it's worth, I want to
(06:35):
know real time what I got going on. And I
think that that's that's why it won't be to me.
It's gonna be embraced because you're able. If I'm fishing,
I might be a fisherman. I want to be out
on the water. I can watch my games while I'm fishing.
Like you, you have no parameters on where you can
(06:55):
be and watch your programming. You could be in the
sky and be watching the live game on your device
if you have internet access. I had a buddy tell
me he's open a couple of businesses and he's been
really successful on the tech side of things, and he
told me, I mean this was years ago. He's all,
He's all the purchase you want to make if you can.
He's on it's tough to get into. He's all. When
(07:16):
you own a team, he goes. Because of the TV
deals that come out, sports is really the last appointment
television remaining. Everything else you can binge watch Ozark is
coming out at the end of the month. Man, you
can binge watch that, spend five six hours and rifle
through the whole final season or whatever. But you've got
to know what's happening in those games real time. My
one problem with say Apple TV, I know this happens sometimes.
(07:40):
You know, even with other streaming platforms. Look, the quality
is crap. I mean like sometimes the picture gets blurry.
Sometimes it's it cuts out. UM, ESPN and the UFC
of at issues where like during big fights, it's just
like they've had technical difficulties because they still I do
think that it's in proved a little bit at a time.
(08:01):
I just think that there's gonna be probably some problems
with that moving forward to where you don't although weather
does impact satellite, if you're in a place where you
know you don't really have to worry about that. Like
in southern California, we don't have you know, inclement weather
or you know, seemingly every single late August early September,
Brady's dealing with some sort of a tropical storm in
(08:21):
Fort Lauderdale that shuts down his power or impacts travel
days or whatever. Like, you don't have that to deal
with with direct TV. But on some of these apps,
it sucks man trying to watch sports on an app sometimes. Please,
here's the problem is your viewing experience comes from Southern California.
I've had direct TV in Denver and it's stunk. It
(08:42):
was absolutely awful. I would never go back to satellite
after that. So if it's an apples to apples comparison
with streaming and direct TV, I'd rather stream because I'm
not going to be going outside kicking my dish because
it's not pointed up in the right direction or whatever
the heck is going on with the wind and the
weather outside. Um, here's here's the truth of the picture quality.
(09:05):
And this happened last year and ESPN got called out
for it. Is these networks aren't necessarily is sending always
the best cameras are the best trucks to provide the
best feed of the live event anyway, they know the
quality of what. For example, everyone wants to have the
best high quality four K, ten h p h D
(09:29):
whatever TV, right, Everyone everyone wants that. Here's the truth.
Most people's the technology between the fiber optic optics behind it,
the wiring, etcetera into the TV and all that it
can't handle it. And most things aren't shot in that
anyway because most consumers don't have the equipment necessary to
(09:52):
provide that super ultra clear picture that people are looking for.
So the truth of the matter is like the a
few live events are shot in like those five K
with those five K cameras on TV, where your TV
is able to get the true difference of what it
would look like compared to something lesser than that. That's
(10:14):
the truth and there's been It was the ESPN got
called out, I forget what patch pactrool of game it
was last year, but they got called out because it
was so grainy and it was like what is this like? Well,
like what are we watching this in like seven? But
that's that's the reality is people are willing to consume
it even with less quality because they understand with streaming,
(10:37):
you're gonna have those issues from time and time. And
I think people are more Oh, I guess people are
okay with the fact that, Hey, I realized that out
of volleyball game, watching my my daughter play, I'm not
gonna get the best service or connection, but at least
I get to see something right. And I think that's
the differences. Being able to be able to watch and
(10:58):
consume wherever you want. Yeah, even if the quality isn't great,
it's greater than having the ability to have the super
ultraclear picture. It's just not there yet. We were already
trained to think and feel this way. I mean, if
you think about it, the device that we're using it
on is the same device that brought us into where
we are now. I mean, at one point in time,
(11:20):
you were considered to be dope if you had a
court that could reach from room to room. Yeah, like,
come on, think about it. Yeah, yeah, you butter up
the direct TV guy. You go, hey man, you got
one of the you got an extra one line around,
you can get a TV outside. Oh no, I'm talking
about a phone. I grew up on the main streets.
I'm talking about a phone. Bro mean streets. Believe you
(11:42):
meet a lot of hoods. The court that connected connected
the phone to the base of the phone right like
your you can walk through all like pretty far through
the house with them courts. The point is is we
got tired of being connected to the court. Like imagine
having a phone conversation now where it's connected to the
(12:06):
wall or it's in a phone booth and you literally
only have so much slack where you have to stand
and hold the phone. So we were okay with going
into the cellular age because it's like, man, I can
talk on the phone no matter where I'm at. To
this day, we can have a phone call where our
(12:26):
our services bad, and you know what, I'll call you back.
I'll call you back. We don't. It's like, yeah, we'll
say that our service stinks, but at the same time,
you're willing to deal with it. That's the same exact
thing we're gonna deal with in terms of digitally consuming
our our our content. You're gonna be okay with if
the picture doesn't come all the way in clearly, because
(12:48):
you know that there's the chance that it's going to
come in clearly at some point. I am still able
to consume my programming right now. I am still able
to do my phone call wherever I'm at right now.
We've already been and trained to accept what these complications
are going to be connection wise anyway, it's on the
same exact device that that we've been trained to be
(13:10):
okay with. I gotta disconnect and read now like I'll
call you right back. I'm in a bad area, you
know what I mean. Yeah, it's um now, it's gonna
be interesting to see. And I guess the one of
the numbers that's uh that's being thrown out is around
two point five billion per year UM could be used
for the NFL. It's probably worth it. I mean, you
(13:31):
know it just just based on that how popular football
is and how it continues to get more and more popular.
If we think about in the end, it's gonna it's
with you gotta see where the whole train tracks are
coming together emerging with gambling turning into what it's turning into.
If it continues to go where it's going, and you
see all of these digital gambling companies and sports booking
(13:54):
popping up, you're going to be able to live bet live,
bet jesus all dang game all dang day, and it's
on the device that you're consuming it on. It's gonna
be it's gonna become more interactive as you move forward. Man,
what a trend center Live that Jesus was and and
the number you just throughout, it's not that big. Amazon,
(14:16):
I believe paid for what a ten or eleven year
deal for Thursday Night Football for a billion a year
or excuse me, a hundred million a year. I think
that was a billion dollar deal as well. So if
you think about Sunday NFL Ticket, you get way more
product that you're pumping out there on your streaming services
on Sunday. That's gonna be much more widely consumed than
(14:37):
just that primetime single event game that doesn't even run
the entire course of the season. So I think if
you're looking at Apple's spending here as compared to Amazon's,
at least in regards to Thursday Football on Sunday NFL Ticket,
I don't know. I think you're making out a little
better here if your Apple, What the hell is going
to happen to Direct TV? Bye bye? Yeah? Like well,
(15:01):
I believe is it is it a T and T
who uses them as a partner for their streaming. Yeah,
I believe that's how they've kind of pivoted. But that's
that's the truth of the matter, is like, people better
get in line with some of these streaming services because
it's Disney, it's Amazon, and there's a third player to
be announced, whether that's Netflix or Apple or whoever wants
(15:22):
to get involved. Like, I just have a hard time
believer we're gonna see too many other players. I think
you'll see Apple and Netflix everyone start buying, you know,
buying up all these different rights and push everyone out
of the market. It's a two pros and a cup
of Joe. Here Fox Sports Radio 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 why
I discover matches all the cash back you've earned at
(15:43):
the end of your first year. Discover exceptionally common sense,
learn more, Discover dot Com slash match limitations apply all right.
Coming up next, there's a team in the NFL that
could be in the market for a quarterback. And while
everybody is looking at one name in particular, another candidate
has a urged we'll hear from him next here on
fs ARE, be sure to catch live editions of Two
(16:05):
Pros and a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LaVar
Arrington and Jonas knocks week days at six am Eastern
three am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I
Heart Radio A Two Pros and a Cup of Joe
Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas knocks with
you here on fs ARE. What was that, Lavable? What
(16:29):
was that? Hey? By the way, is it snowing everywhere
in the country or is it just like is it's
it's we're past the midway point in April. I mean
it was like a blow thirty degrees at the Cubs
game last night. Arnie span you just sent me a
picture from Vermont. They're covered in snow. They're showing uh
pictures on the TV here, Uh not the app on
(16:51):
the TV and places in the country are just doused
in snow. We had people sending us pictures from Ohio,
Brady or in Ohio. I don't know. I don't know
if you still it's it's it's April with snow come
on right around the corner. I don't know, man, but
it's definitely not gonna entice anyone that I know what
I'm close to to move back here anytime. So I'm
(17:12):
not moving, so you can forget about that. So so
let me get this straight. If it's so, what months
does it not snow in those parts of the country
May through what October? Uh? First, I would say October.
I've never seen snow in October November. I think you
could get a dusting in the end of the month
(17:35):
May through I would say safely October into November. So
basically six to seven months you get three months a
good weather on the East Coast. That's unbelievable, Like, I
all right, not snow. But when you start to talk
about the changing of of like that crisp morning air
and stuff like that, that's literally September, that's August. That's
(17:59):
like when you start back to school, when you start
when you start back to school on what on the
East Coast, it's like what September or whenever you're getting
up to go, because I can recall go walking distinctly
to go wait at the bus stop to get on
the bus, and how cold that s was waiting first
day of school, like jacket first day of school, jacket,
(18:22):
Labor Day, jacket cold like you can smell it like
I can. I can smell it right now, I can
remember to smell. No. No, I don't. In fact, I
feel like the reason why if we were to ever
say why football is different and and and guys are
different from West Coast to East Coast, it's because we
(18:45):
were cheated. You guys had something different than us. Man,
and I'm telling you we did not like this right here.
What y'all have is different. It's different. People are like man,
I thought you never coach. I always said I never
coached because I always has played football on the East Coast.
I grew up playing football in Pittsburgh. I played in Pennsylvania,
(19:06):
I played in Washington, d C. I played in in
in New York. All I knew was cold when I
came out here, and I spent the year out here.
A p goes, you want to coach on my shore,
come out. I don't want to stand out in the rain.
I don't want to stand out in the snow. I
don't want to stand out in slush or wet fields
(19:26):
or any bad conditions. I don't want to be freezing.
I don't want to be looking at you and you saying, uh,
tough it out, like figure out a way, like yeah,
it makes us hard. We're tough, like we deal with
different conditions. I just don't want to deal with it. Here.
Here's the problem with all this. You're softly, Well, we
can say well, yeah, I mean that that is true,
(19:48):
But we can we could say whatever we want about
you know the conditions. We're in a radio studio now
in southern California, right and um, LaVar Arrington inside this
radio studio in southern California. And I'm not exaggerating. He's
got a thermal shirt. He's got a sweater over his
thermal shirt. And you've got a bubble bubble vest. Yeah,
(20:14):
and your hood on and and my and my headphones
over top of my hood and I'm keeping my head on. Yeah.
And again we are inside a radio studio and you're
that bundled off. That's correct. Okay. So I'm not sure
that soft would be the word that I would use
directed towards California. Why not? Because can I ask this though?
(20:36):
What is Jonah swearing? Uh, he's got his sweater off,
his carn again is off, He's got he's got on
some um um some fashion nova uh, dogger pants. It
doesn't have but I can make it one. It's pretty.
It's pretty. It's not, no, it's it's very it is
(20:57):
now that he's pulling it nas it is now that
and he's got his taco meat out. But but it's
a very thin it's a very thin material T shirt
that he's got on, like you know, high end type
of designer. And it matches his shoes. He looks nice.
I mean, some people are built for this looks. Some
people are built for the the inclement weather of a
radio studio. I clearly am LaVar is not. The bottom
(21:19):
line of it is is that y'are are so soft
about here that it made me soft. So it only
proves your point. Second, you look like you're racing in
the Ideata rod and we're inside a radio. We're my
ask of mos. I don't know if you can say
that my husky dogs. I can't say, well, you know,
they change the name of the Edmonton CFL team, because
(21:39):
I don't think you can say that that word anymore.
Oh my bad, I was I was thinking of the
dogs anyway. I think Edmonton CFL team, I almost positively.
Can we double check that the CFL team from Edmonton.
I they used to be called. Um what I just
started with any We're gonna get an updately to lap
is actually our our Canadian fotball league in center. Let's
(22:01):
go live to are. I have an update on the
CFL insider Eddie Garci here for the latest Eddie. Yeah,
they're now the Edmonton Elks. The Elks? What what was
the what was the reason in giving for for dropping
the original name that it was? I guess disparaging sensitive
to Native people's Okay, see all right, yeah, I mean
(22:24):
nobody's regardless. I was trying to say, uh, Husky. I
meant to say, where's my Huskies? I'm insulted. It just
came out that way, So I mean I didn't mean
it that way. A guy to play for the Washington team,
do you think he would know? Well, I said Ridskins
on a radio that's the truth on a radio show.
(22:48):
Yeah I did. Why. Um, I got all kinds of
calls about saying I wanted an apology on this show.
So I got a whole bunch of calls from Washington
to do it, and I went on there and I
said it. I said it multiple times. Very good? Did
you guys talk about the Eskimo pie at all? Did
(23:09):
you talk about can't you say Eskimo pie anymore? What
is an Eskimo pie? Racist? You don't. You don't know
what that is? No, it was like, you know, an
ice cream treat. It was just I do remember vanilla
ice cream, just with a hard, hard chocolate shelve. I
do remember. Yeah, they had to change the name of that.
(23:32):
It's it's now an Eddies pie. Really, Oh look at
that take that. I still dude, they still have Cherokee
rid soda? Did they have to change that? Thank you?
I mean, what are we doing here? I'm just asking. Yeah,
I'm just trying to understand what I can say, what
I can't say. I can't even say the name of
(23:53):
the team I played basically my entire NFL career with, Like,
I can't say. I think you can say it? I did.
I do because that's the team I played for. Hello,
Like there's somebody out there, but you can't say that now,
Yeah I can. That's what I play for. They paid
me a whole lot of money. In fact, the reason
why you're able to hear my voices, but probably because
I played for that team. Just just taking a guess
(24:16):
and covered that team and covered that team, just just
taking a guess at it, just just one little stab
at it. That's the team I played for. I mean,
are they going to cancel fighting Irish is getting canceled
to I'm just saying, well, someone had an issue with
the mass. You can't call a person a leprecn anymore. Well,
(24:37):
apparently fictional characters or scots are offensive, which is like, well,
hold on a second, you do know what doesn't exist? Right,
Like it's made up? Like you do know that? Right?
That's that's even more racist. Think about how stupid that
for someone to get offended by something that doesn't actually exist.
(24:58):
There's a little it hit at leper con out there
that is upset with what you just said. Just now.
You can't call him bigfoot, it's offensive, you know, that's
that's that's sasquatch. So you can't call the lock that's monster.
That's it set the gotta be careful, all right. So
(25:20):
apparently the tall Harry person, yeah Harry, We're gonna call
him all Harry now racist. It's two pros and a
cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio coming up twelve minutes
from now. Another edition of the b Q News. I
mean fast on its way to winning awards in the
world radio. I don't worry about it. I'm pulling some strings.
(25:42):
Some strings, well you just you let let me take care.
Let's let him operate. Um. So, if you are Drew Lock,
Geno Smith, and Jacob Eeson, you make up the quarterback
room in Seattle. And there's been some speculation that potentially
Baker Mayfield, he alluded to it, maybe a Seattle could
be a landing spot for him. Well, there is now
(26:04):
a new name that has entered the conversation. That is
none other than Colin Kaepernick, who was on the I
Am Athlete podcast and he spoke about potentially ending up
as a Seattle Seahawk. No teams brought me in for
a workout. No team has brought me in for for
an opportunity. I had the the one meeting with Seattle
(26:25):
in twice seventeen. And how did that? Pete Carroll said, Hey,
he's a starter, we have a starter, and you know,
things moved on from there. But they don't have a
starter right now. So there it is. They don't have
a starting quarterback right now. How about that? Hey, I'm
up for it, Bring him in, Let's go. Why not?
(26:47):
How many times did I said to you guys, if
Pete Carroll wants to be so outspoken about it, sign him.
You have in need. You've been the biggest spokesperson for
Colin Kaepotick signed him. You just heard calling himself he
knows the division, that's last three he played and makes
all the sense in the world. I don't. I don't
know what Pete carl is doing out there. It does
it does feel like Kaepernick is really aggressive this time around,
(27:10):
but it's almost like he's taking I always thought that
he'd never wanted to play before. I just thought it
was all smoke. He was just you know, he knew
that it would generate more attention and and all that.
But this does feel like he's actually taking steps and
him saying I'll be a backup, you know, like that's fine,
bring me in as a backup. I feel I'm more
optimistic he's actually going to get a shot from a
(27:32):
team this time around than before. And I think Seattle
makes a ton of shuttle sound, and he sounds exactly
the same. If I were to tell you guys to
pull up the sound from when he did his interview
after he did um the whole the whole tryout where
the location got moved. If you if you put them
side by side, you wouldn't know the difference between which
(27:55):
interview took place. When they sounded he sounds exactly the same.
So I don't I don't look at it as he
sounds like he's more serious about doing it now than
he ever has been. I will say I continue to
have the feeling that I believe Colin Kaepernick now realizes
one thing for certain, that he just wanted to play ball.
(28:21):
He did not want to have to carry all of
the weight that has been been put on him. He
just wanted to play ball. And I think he's at
a point now where he's like, I just want to
play football. I just want to have an opportunity to
play football. And in a way, it kind of makes
me feel for him a little bit for the simple
(28:43):
fact that he will never be able to just be anything,
just anything anymore, because he represents something so big and
and he's a figure like so he will never just
be able to I just want to oh play, I
just want to be a backup. I just want to
be on the team. It will never happen, it won't happen.
(29:06):
Will they bring him in for a workout? Maybe? Do
they want to take the opportunity to take the chance, maybe,
But do you want to deal with everything that can
possibly go with bringing Colin Kaepernick into your building? And
I can guarantee you if people are being totally honest,
a void of all the judgment that they will receive
(29:27):
if they say what their truth is, every last one
of them will say, hell no, I don't want to
deal with what we're gonna have to deal with if
we bring him in, even just workout. I just want
to see, after six years of not playing, what this
looks like like. I just I think the quarterback position
(29:48):
is one in which it's so difficult to play, even
if you're at the top of your game. Where when
he left he wasn't. Now he wasn't a hundred percent
healthy that last season, but even then, statistically, the box
score readers, they're gonna sit there and say the stats,
go back and watch the games. It was a lot
(30:10):
of garbage time when you start breaking away some of that.
I just want to see if he can play like.
I want to see if because that's where I think
you make the case forget about all the other stuff
off the field. That's where you make the case of well, yeah, man,
he could still do it, and he was truly uh
stolen from that period of time because of the stance,
(30:31):
the platform he's tooking all that. Because if he can't play,
and it's like well all right, like pretty much picked
up where he left off. But but if he can,
I think it makes it that much more of a
story because he did ultimately sacrifice something because again the
thought was, hey, he's not a starter anymore when he
was leaving the league, and so if he comes back
(30:52):
in and he can't even make it as a back
at what he said he wants to do, then there's
not really much of a story. Therefore, if there's a
percentage on you CFL players that are playing in the
USFL right now, that ultimately are playing there because they
want to have another opportunity or first opportunity to make
it into the National Football League, what would you say
(31:13):
that percentages? Kyloo Lett, it was too of eight last night. Okay,
So so here's what if you're if you're saying you're
okay with being a backup now, why not go play
in the USFL and show people that you can be
a starter in the USFL, which would potentially build the
(31:36):
case and build the pressure for an NFL team to
have to give him an opportunity to come in and
try out. See to me, when when b S is BS,
you gotta call BS for what it is. If he
really wanted to get back into the National Football League,
there are more than enough places where he would be
able to go use his talent and prove and create
(31:57):
the film to be able to say my argument isn't
just my voice. My argument is my results. So I
got out here on the USFL team, and I showed
you I can still rock this. I can rock the
microphone the way that I do. I can still move
the crowd. He has done nothing that the other than talk,
And I just think that it's kind of it's kind
(32:18):
of why to me when you got a whole entire league,
this us F, USFL league, or any other league that
has has come about, All those guys are chasing the
same exact dream that Colin Kaepernick is chasing. They're not
getting the platform, they don't have the voice to be
able to say it the way that Colin Kaepernick is
saying that they have to do it the way that
they're going to do it. If you're Colin Kaepernick and
(32:39):
you know that the odds are against you, why not
just take the same approach that some of these other
guys are taking to try to get to where you're
trying to get to. It's a Two Pros and a

propped open? Come on, Lee, come on, give some break here.
He's filling in for Roberto, and Lee's gas him up
at Chris is like, what's going on? He's totally unaware.
(34:06):
I'm saving it all up for Roberto. Just four minutes. Yeah,
Chris is like, please just let me survive for four
more minutes. We're gonna be back on the air to
borrow six am Eastern Time, three o'clock Pacific. Missed any
of this show, you can check out the podcast at
Fox Sports Radio dot com. But right now it's time
(34:29):
for the main event. Let's go to the newsteps. Here's
Brady Quinn. YEA, yeah, I think it's the day that
a lot of people have been waiting for around the country.
A judge's decision to avoid the mask mandate prompts midflight
(34:50):
cheers among flyers. That's why, folks, no more masks on
planes and the airport's a Florida judge has avoided the
Biden administration's mass mandates for planes, trains, and busses. Yes,
Judge Catherine Kimball Mozzel has has made this ruling. And
so we don't have to worry about wearing masks anymore.
(35:13):
Even though everyone was going to claim that they did
something good in the first place. Well, uh so, now
there's a couple of drawbacks to that. One, people are
gonna have to start brushing their teeth again. Brush your teeth,
breath it's gum people, that's the biggest thing. You have
to control yourself. Deodorant. Yeah, you have to control yourself
on the airplane. People can see your higher face. Yes,
(35:35):
they can see your entire face. Now you can't just
go drop and trout and plan planned out. You can't
just let it fly crop dust because everybody can smell it. Now.
So yeah, that's uh, but we're we're all back to Now.
Does this mean that they're going to be no more
fights on like Spirit airlines? You know what, I would
(35:56):
love to do a study because I do believe that
the mass man dates and the way the even flight
attendants would enforce them. Because I've seen both the good
and bad where the flight attendants were polite about it
and other times where they were rude and the person
really wasn't doing anything. So I've seen the whole thing.
I think it's gonna go down. I think you're gonna
(36:16):
have a lot less confrontation. However, I was texting with
a colleague this morning and they said that about forty
percent of the plane still had masks on. The other
six did not see. That's the thing. You're gonna have
more fights now because you're going I got on a
plane last weekend and a lady was like, oh, good,
(36:36):
you have your mask on. The last plane I was on,
the men did not have his mask on at all,
for geez, and she was right, and friends, she just
would not stop going on about the mask. There's gonna
be mask shamers like, oh, it's not mandated anymore, but
you guys don't want to be safe. You still don't
(36:56):
want to be safe and put your mask on. How
about you do you all do me? And just let's
move on to shame. That's the problem, though, is there
is no shame in not wearing it now because you're
not forced to buy any government institute. And that's fine.
But like you just say to them, what's not in
the law anymore? Dude? Sorry, like I don't have to
(37:18):
tell you, and then they're they're insites the fight. I'm
just happy people to fight. I'm just happy people can
now smell my cologne again. My mombo that I get
ross dress for last for twelve man got one too.
It's all right. We don't get much time to one more.
(37:43):
Elon Must says he doesn't own a home and he
sleeps in friends spare bedrooms. Um. I don't know if
I necessarily believe it, because I feel like he's probably
running a place somewhere. But uh, maybe it's true. I
don't know. Would you would you let Elon Must sleep
over your place? Yeah? Why not? It seems like a
wouldn't It seems like I don't know him. I don't know.
(38:06):
I don't break almost two hundred and seventy billion dollars,
which means that he's got two hundred and seventy billion
ways to be the case. I don't want it. I
don't want him around. What do you think he's going
to do? I don't know. I don't know. He's going
to get away with whatever. Yeah, exactly. Fox Sports Radio

So on, the NFL may look a little bit different
moving forward. Um. Obviously, Direct TV has had the rights
(01:05):
to Sunday Ticket to Watch all the games for years
and years and years now. But apparently, according to UH
Matthew Bologna of Puck News UH via Sports Business Journal UH,
the NFL Sunday ticket could be heading to Apple UH
and could be becoming a part of the streaming portion
of Apple there, which means no more Direct TV Sunday
(01:29):
ticket by the package four dollars or whatever it is.
If you own a bar or a restaurant or a
place of business, it's thousands upon thousands of dollars because
they charge per capacity depending on where you are. So
this could be UH the beginning of the end for
the NFL Sunday ticket UH via direct TV, and it
could be a switching over to a streaming platform. So
(01:51):
away we go, the NFL changing like we we've seen
for many years now is going to be looking a
lot different here moving forward according to this report, so
bummed out about it? No more, no more direct TV
Sunday ticket. There were feeling how we feeling about that?
Out about it? It's gonna be there, It's just gonna
be in a different form or provided by a different provider.
(02:12):
Like this is where the whole industry is going. You know,
more and more people are cord cutting there, there's sixty
million people who have gotten rid of cable and it's
never coming back. They are never going back to having
cable again. They'll just be streamers and that numbers growing.
So you know, this is a move that was eventually
(02:32):
going to take place from all the people I've talked to,
this last TV deal with the broadcast networks, it was
gonna be the last of it of its kind, meaning
you're gonna start to see more of these streaming networks,
whether it's Apple obviously in this case we're talking about
with with Sunday NFL ticket, Um, maybe Netflix makes a
move forward. Amazon Prime obviously has already got involved on
(02:54):
Thursday Night football. That's where all this is going. And
I'll tell you the other thing that's probably gonna be
up for forbidding on is the NFL's media division, the
NFL Network, that network in and of itself. I wouldn't
be shocked if it wasn't bought by whether it's Apple
or someone else who's looking involved. I mean, the NFL
Sunday Ticket was it was kind of an arm of
(03:14):
the NFL network, NFL Media enterprises, if I'm not mistaken.
So all of this is shifting because of the way
we consume now is shifting on TV and all that,
the biggest question becomes like are we ready for it?
Because one of the concerns like I have in watching
things that are streamed, especially live events, versus things that
(03:34):
are you know, provided via cable or even satellite for
that matter, is the connection. You know, if you don't
have a high enough WiFi speed or your Internet speed
isn't isn't fast enough, the streaming experience can be bad.
I think it could be outright unfun to be a
part of now. I think if you've had satellite or
you know, direct TV or any you know, any sort
(03:57):
of dish like that, you've you've probably experience that to
some degree in bad weather. But you know that's that's
really what's up for debate here is like, is the
the way the product is consumed? Is that going to
be an issue for consumers or viewers moving forward? If
the viewing isn't quite the same as what we're customed to,
I'm must say no, because the viewing experience is already different.
(04:22):
Like I'll never understand. I'm I'm big on big screen TVs,
like that's my jam. I love a big screen TV.
And I got these big old things, why thick screen
TVs all throughout my house and they generally don't get
(04:43):
turned on. And you'll see, I'll see I'll see my
six year old laying on her belly, like sitting on
the stairwell whatever it may be, streaming, kids sitting at
the in the kitchen area or a common area, different area,
or in their rooms streaming. Like I'll sit there. I'll
(05:03):
be watching a dope movie on my TV on my couch, comfortable, chilling,
and I'll see the dudes over there on their phones
and I'll be like, what are you doing? Watching Netflix?
Chilling on a phone. So and it's like, okay, I
couldn't understand it until Penn State was playing and I
(05:27):
was at volleyball games. See, it's it's the it's the
it's the idea of adjusting and adapting to being able
to consume your content the way you want to consume
your content, no matter where you are. Sometimes you're going
to be willing. I'm willing to take that moment of buffering.
(05:50):
I'm willing to accept that moment of I gotta reconnect
because I'm sitting out of volleyball game and no, I
am a good parent. I watch and my chair and
I don't even know volleyball. I try to coach her,
you know, but when she's not playing, and you gotta
be there all damn day. I want to be able
(06:12):
to consume my my my sports and and my programming.
And I think that we all have things that we
need to do during the course of a day. Where
it was like all right, TiVo. You know, recording was
a big thing for for a while, and and it's
still may continue to be a big thing to record
your programming. But for what it's worth, I want to
(06:35):
know real time what I got going on. And I
think that that's that's why it won't be to me.
It's gonna be embraced because you're able. If I'm fishing,
I might be a fisherman. I want to be out
on the water. I can watch my games while I'm fishing.
Like you, you have no parameters on where you can
(06:55):
be and watch your programming. You could be in the
sky and be watching the live game on your device
if you have internet access. I had a buddy tell
me he's open a couple of businesses and he's been
really successful on the tech side of things, and he
told me, I mean this was years ago. He's all,
He's all the purchase you want to make if you can.
He's on it's tough to get into. He's all. When
(07:16):
you own a team, he goes. Because of the TV
deals that come out, sports is really the last appointment
television remaining. Everything else you can binge watch Ozark is
coming out at the end of the month. Man, you
can binge watch that, spend five six hours and rifle
through the whole final season or whatever. But you've got
to know what's happening in those games real time. My
one problem with say Apple TV, I know this happens sometimes.
(07:40):
You know, even with other streaming platforms. Look, the quality
is crap. I mean like sometimes the picture gets blurry.
Sometimes it's it cuts out. UM, ESPN and the UFC
of at issues where like during big fights, it's just
like they've had technical difficulties because they still I do
think that it's in proved a little bit at a time.
(08:01):
I just think that there's gonna be probably some problems
with that moving forward to where you don't although weather
does impact satellite, if you're in a place where you
know you don't really have to worry about that. Like
in southern California, we don't have you know, inclement weather
or you know, seemingly every single late August early September,
Brady's dealing with some sort of a tropical storm in
(08:21):
Fort Lauderdale that shuts down his power or impacts travel
days or whatever. Like, you don't have that to deal
with with direct TV. But on some of these apps,
it sucks man trying to watch sports on an app sometimes. Please,
here's the problem is your viewing experience comes from Southern California.
I've had direct TV in Denver and it's stunk. It
(08:42):
was absolutely awful. I would never go back to satellite
after that. So if it's an apples to apples comparison
with streaming and direct TV, I'd rather stream because I'm
not going to be going outside kicking my dish because
it's not pointed up in the right direction or whatever
the heck is going on with the wind and the
weather outside. Um, here's here's the truth of the picture quality.
(09:05):
And this happened last year and ESPN got called out
for it. Is these networks aren't necessarily is sending always
the best cameras are the best trucks to provide the
best feed of the live event anyway, they know the
quality of what. For example, everyone wants to have the
best high quality four K, ten h p h D
(09:29):
whatever TV, right, Everyone everyone wants that. Here's the truth.
Most people's the technology between the fiber optic optics behind it,
the wiring, etcetera into the TV and all that it
can't handle it. And most things aren't shot in that
anyway because most consumers don't have the equipment necessary to
(09:52):
provide that super ultra clear picture that people are looking for.
So the truth of the matter is like the a
few live events are shot in like those five K
with those five K cameras on TV, where your TV
is able to get the true difference of what it
would look like compared to something lesser than that. That's
(10:14):
the truth and there's been It was the ESPN got
called out, I forget what patch pactrool of game it
was last year, but they got called out because it
was so grainy and it was like what is this like? Well,
like what are we watching this in like seven? But
that's that's the reality is people are willing to consume
it even with less quality because they understand with streaming,
(10:37):
you're gonna have those issues from time and time. And
I think people are more Oh, I guess people are
okay with the fact that, Hey, I realized that out
of volleyball game, watching my my daughter play, I'm not
gonna get the best service or connection, but at least
I get to see something right. And I think that's
the differences. Being able to be able to watch and
(10:58):
consume wherever you want. Yeah, even if the quality isn't great,
it's greater than having the ability to have the super
ultraclear picture. It's just not there yet. We were already
trained to think and feel this way. I mean, if
you think about it, the device that we're using it
on is the same device that brought us into where
we are now. I mean, at one point in time,
(11:20):
you were considered to be dope if you had a
court that could reach from room to room. Yeah, like,
come on, think about it. Yeah, yeah, you butter up
the direct TV guy. You go, hey man, you got
one of the you got an extra one line around,
you can get a TV outside. Oh no, I'm talking
about a phone. I grew up on the main streets.
I'm talking about a phone. Bro mean streets. Believe you
(11:42):
meet a lot of hoods. The court that connected connected
the phone to the base of the phone right like
your you can walk through all like pretty far through
the house with them courts. The point is is we
got tired of being connected to the court. Like imagine
having a phone conversation now where it's connected to the
(12:06):
wall or it's in a phone booth and you literally
only have so much slack where you have to stand
and hold the phone. So we were okay with going
into the cellular age because it's like, man, I can
talk on the phone no matter where I'm at. To
this day, we can have a phone call where our
(12:26):
our services bad, and you know what, I'll call you back.
I'll call you back. We don't. It's like, yeah, we'll
say that our service stinks, but at the same time,
you're willing to deal with it. That's the same exact
thing we're gonna deal with in terms of digitally consuming
our our our content. You're gonna be okay with if
the picture doesn't come all the way in clearly, because
(12:48):
you know that there's the chance that it's going to
come in clearly at some point. I am still able
to consume my programming right now. I am still able
to do my phone call wherever I'm at right now.
We've already been and trained to accept what these complications
are going to be connection wise anyway, it's on the
same exact device that that we've been trained to be
(13:10):
okay with. I gotta disconnect and read now like I'll
call you right back. I'm in a bad area, you
know what I mean. Yeah, it's um now, it's gonna
be interesting to see. And I guess the one of
the numbers that's uh that's being thrown out is around
two point five billion per year UM could be used
for the NFL. It's probably worth it. I mean, you
(13:31):
know it just just based on that how popular football
is and how it continues to get more and more popular.
If we think about in the end, it's gonna it's
with you gotta see where the whole train tracks are
coming together emerging with gambling turning into what it's turning into.
If it continues to go where it's going, and you
see all of these digital gambling companies and sports booking
(13:54):
popping up, you're going to be able to live bet live,
bet jesus all dang game all dang day, and it's
on the device that you're consuming it on. It's gonna
be it's gonna become more interactive as you move forward. Man,
what a trend center Live that Jesus was and and
the number you just throughout, it's not that big. Amazon,
(14:16):
I believe paid for what a ten or eleven year
deal for Thursday Night Football for a billion a year
or excuse me, a hundred million a year. I think
that was a billion dollar deal as well. So if
you think about Sunday NFL Ticket, you get way more
product that you're pumping out there on your streaming services
on Sunday. That's gonna be much more widely consumed than
(14:37):
just that primetime single event game that doesn't even run
the entire course of the season. So I think if
you're looking at Apple's spending here as compared to Amazon's,
at least in regards to Thursday Football on Sunday NFL Ticket,
I don't know. I think you're making out a little
better here if your Apple, What the hell is going
to happen to Direct TV? Bye bye? Yeah? Like well,
(15:01):
I believe is it is it a T and T
who uses them as a partner for their streaming. Yeah,
I believe that's how they've kind of pivoted. But that's
that's the truth of the matter, is like, people better
get in line with some of these streaming services because
it's Disney, it's Amazon, and there's a third player to
be announced, whether that's Netflix or Apple or whoever wants
(15:22):
to get involved. Like, I just have a hard time
believer we're gonna see too many other players. I think
you'll see Apple and Netflix everyone start buying, you know,
buying up all these different rights and push everyone out
of the market. It's a two pros and a cup

Arrington and Jonas knocks week days at six am Eastern

Heart Radio A Two Pros and a Cup of Joe
Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas knocks with
you here on fs ARE. What was that, Lavable? What
(16:29):
was that? Hey? By the way, is it snowing everywhere
in the country or is it just like is it's
it's we're past the midway point in April. I mean
it was like a blow thirty degrees at the Cubs
game last night. Arnie span you just sent me a
picture from Vermont. They're covered in snow. They're showing uh
pictures on the TV here, Uh not the app on
(16:51):
the TV and places in the country are just doused
in snow. We had people sending us pictures from Ohio,
Brady or in Ohio. I don't know. I don't know
if you still it's it's it's April with snow come
on right around the corner. I don't know, man, but
it's definitely not gonna entice anyone that I know what
I'm close to to move back here anytime. So I'm
(17:12):
not moving, so you can forget about that. So so
let me get this straight. If it's so, what months
does it not snow in those parts of the country
May through what October? Uh? First, I would say October.
I've never seen snow in October November. I think you
could get a dusting in the end of the month
(17:35):
May through I would say safely October into November. So
basically six to seven months you get three months a
good weather on the East Coast. That's unbelievable, Like, I
all right, not snow. But when you start to talk
about the changing of of like that crisp morning air
and stuff like that, that's literally September, that's August. That's
(17:59):
like when you start back to school, when you start
when you start back to school on what on the
East Coast, it's like what September or whenever you're getting
up to go, because I can recall go walking distinctly
to go wait at the bus stop to get on
the bus, and how cold that s was waiting first
day of school, like jacket first day of school, jacket,
(18:22):
Labor Day, jacket cold like you can smell it like
I can. I can smell it right now, I can
remember to smell. No. No, I don't. In fact, I
feel like the reason why if we were to ever
say why football is different and and and guys are
different from West Coast to East Coast, it's because we
(18:45):
were cheated. You guys had something different than us. Man,
and I'm telling you we did not like this right here.
What y'all have is different. It's different. People are like man,
I thought you never coach. I always said I never
coached because I always has played football on the East Coast.
I grew up playing football in Pittsburgh. I played in Pennsylvania,
(19:06):
I played in Washington, d C. I played in in
in New York. All I knew was cold when I
came out here, and I spent the year out here.
A p goes, you want to coach on my shore,
come out. I don't want to stand out in the rain.
I don't want to stand out in the snow. I
don't want to stand out in slush or wet fields
(19:26):
or any bad conditions. I don't want to be freezing.
I don't want to be looking at you and you saying, uh,
tough it out, like figure out a way, like yeah,
it makes us hard. We're tough, like we deal with
different conditions. I just don't want to deal with it. Here.
Here's the problem with all this. You're softly, Well, we
can say well, yeah, I mean that that is true,
(19:48):
But we can we could say whatever we want about
you know the conditions. We're in a radio studio now
in southern California, right and um, LaVar Arrington inside this
radio studio in southern California. And I'm not exaggerating. He's
got a thermal shirt. He's got a sweater over his
thermal shirt. And you've got a bubble bubble vest. Yeah,
(20:14):
and your hood on and and my and my headphones
over top of my hood and I'm keeping my head on. Yeah.
And again we are inside a radio studio and you're
that bundled off. That's correct. Okay. So I'm not sure
that soft would be the word that I would use
directed towards California. Why not? Because can I ask this though?
(20:36):
What is Jonah swearing? Uh, he's got his sweater off,
his carn again is off, He's got he's got on
some um um some fashion nova uh, dogger pants. It
doesn't have but I can make it one. It's pretty.
It's pretty. It's not, no, it's it's very it is
(20:57):
now that he's pulling it nas it is now that
and he's got his taco meat out. But but it's
a very thin it's a very thin material T shirt
that he's got on, like you know, high end type
of designer. And it matches his shoes. He looks nice.
I mean, some people are built for this looks. Some
people are built for the the inclement weather of a
radio studio. I clearly am LaVar is not. The bottom
(21:19):
line of it is is that y'are are so soft
about here that it made me soft. So it only
proves your point. Second, you look like you're racing in
the Ideata rod and we're inside a radio. We're my
ask of mos. I don't know if you can say
that my husky dogs. I can't say, well, you know,
they change the name of the Edmonton CFL team, because
(21:39):
I don't think you can say that that word anymore.
Oh my bad, I was I was thinking of the
dogs anyway. I think Edmonton CFL team, I almost positively.
Can we double check that the CFL team from Edmonton.
I they used to be called. Um what I just
started with any We're gonna get an updately to lap
is actually our our Canadian fotball league in center. Let's
(22:01):
go live to are. I have an update on the
CFL insider Eddie Garci here for the latest Eddie. Yeah,
they're now the Edmonton Elks. The Elks? What what was
the what was the reason in giving for for dropping
the original name that it was? I guess disparaging sensitive
to Native people's Okay, see all right, yeah, I mean
(22:24):
nobody's regardless. I was trying to say, uh, Husky. I
meant to say, where's my Huskies? I'm insulted. It just
came out that way, So I mean I didn't mean
it that way. A guy to play for the Washington team,
do you think he would know? Well, I said Ridskins
on a radio that's the truth on a radio show.
(22:48):
Yeah I did. Why. Um, I got all kinds of
calls about saying I wanted an apology on this show.
So I got a whole bunch of calls from Washington
to do it, and I went on there and I
said it. I said it multiple times. Very good? Did
you guys talk about the Eskimo pie at all? Did
(23:09):
you talk about can't you say Eskimo pie anymore? What
is an Eskimo pie? Racist? You don't. You don't know
what that is? No, it was like, you know, an
ice cream treat. It was just I do remember vanilla
ice cream, just with a hard, hard chocolate shelve. I
do remember. Yeah, they had to change the name of that.
(23:32):
It's it's now an Eddies pie. Really, Oh look at
that take that. I still dude, they still have Cherokee
rid soda? Did they have to change that? Thank you?
I mean, what are we doing here? I'm just asking. Yeah,
I'm just trying to understand what I can say, what
I can't say. I can't even say the name of
(23:53):
the team I played basically my entire NFL career with, Like,
I can't say. I think you can say it? I did.
I do because that's the team I played for. Hello,
Like there's somebody out there, but you can't say that now,
Yeah I can. That's what I play for. They paid
me a whole lot of money. In fact, the reason
why you're able to hear my voices, but probably because
I played for that team. Just just taking a guess
(24:16):
and covered that team and covered that team, just just
taking a guess at it, just just one little stab
at it. That's the team I played for. I mean,
are they going to cancel fighting Irish is getting canceled
to I'm just saying, well, someone had an issue with
the mass. You can't call a person a leprecn anymore. Well,
(24:37):
apparently fictional characters or scots are offensive, which is like, well,
hold on a second, you do know what doesn't exist? Right,
Like it's made up? Like you do know that? Right?
That's that's even more racist. Think about how stupid that
for someone to get offended by something that doesn't actually exist.
(24:58):
There's a little it hit at leper con out there
that is upset with what you just said. Just now.
You can't call him bigfoot, it's offensive, you know, that's
that's that's sasquatch. So you can't call the lock that's monster.
That's it set the gotta be careful, all right. So
(25:20):
apparently the tall Harry person, yeah Harry, We're gonna call
him all Harry now racist. It's two pros and a
cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio coming up twelve minutes
from now. Another edition of the b Q News. I
mean fast on its way to winning awards in the
world radio. I don't worry about it. I'm pulling some strings.
(25:42):
Some strings, well you just you let let me take care.
Let's let him operate. Um. So, if you are Drew Lock,
Geno Smith, and Jacob Eeson, you make up the quarterback
room in Seattle. And there's been some speculation that potentially
Baker Mayfield, he alluded to it, maybe a Seattle could
be a landing spot for him. Well, there is now
(26:04):
a new name that has entered the conversation. That is
none other than Colin Kaepernick, who was on the I
Am Athlete podcast and he spoke about potentially ending up
as a Seattle Seahawk. No teams brought me in for
a workout. No team has brought me in for for
an opportunity. I had the the one meeting with Seattle
(26:25):
in twice seventeen. And how did that? Pete Carroll said, Hey,
he's a starter, we have a starter, and you know,
things moved on from there. But they don't have a
starter right now. So there it is. They don't have
a starting quarterback right now. How about that? Hey, I'm
up for it, Bring him in, Let's go. Why not?
(26:47):
How many times did I said to you guys, if
Pete Carroll wants to be so outspoken about it, sign him.
You have in need. You've been the biggest spokesperson for
Colin Kaepotick signed him. You just heard calling himself he
knows the division, that's last three he played and makes
all the sense in the world. I don't. I don't
know what Pete carl is doing out there. It does
it does feel like Kaepernick is really aggressive this time around,
(27:10):
but it's almost like he's taking I always thought that
he'd never wanted to play before. I just thought it
was all smoke. He was just you know, he knew
that it would generate more attention and and all that.
But this does feel like he's actually taking steps and
him saying I'll be a backup, you know, like that's fine,
bring me in as a backup. I feel I'm more
optimistic he's actually going to get a shot from a
(27:32):
team this time around than before. And I think Seattle
makes a ton of shuttle sound, and he sounds exactly
the same. If I were to tell you guys to
pull up the sound from when he did his interview
after he did um the whole the whole tryout where
the location got moved. If you if you put them
side by side, you wouldn't know the difference between which
(27:55):
interview took place. When they sounded he sounds exactly the same.
So I don't I don't look at it as he
sounds like he's more serious about doing it now than
he ever has been. I will say I continue to
have the feeling that I believe Colin Kaepernick now realizes
one thing for certain, that he just wanted to play ball.
(28:21):
He did not want to have to carry all of
the weight that has been been put on him. He
just wanted to play ball. And I think he's at
a point now where he's like, I just want to
play football. I just want to have an opportunity to
play football. And in a way, it kind of makes
me feel for him a little bit for the simple
(28:43):
fact that he will never be able to just be anything,
just anything anymore, because he represents something so big and
and he's a figure like so he will never just
be able to I just want to oh play, I
just want to be a backup. I just want to
be on the team. It will never happen, it won't happen.
(29:06):
Will they bring him in for a workout? Maybe? Do
they want to take the opportunity to take the chance, maybe,
But do you want to deal with everything that can
possibly go with bringing Colin Kaepernick into your building? And
I can guarantee you if people are being totally honest,
a void of all the judgment that they will receive
(29:27):
if they say what their truth is, every last one
of them will say, hell no, I don't want to
deal with what we're gonna have to deal with if
we bring him in, even just workout. I just want
to see, after six years of not playing, what this
looks like like. I just I think the quarterback position
(29:48):
is one in which it's so difficult to play, even
if you're at the top of your game. Where when
he left he wasn't. Now he wasn't a hundred percent
healthy that last season, but even then, statistically, the box
score readers, they're gonna sit there and say the stats,
go back and watch the games. It was a lot
(30:10):
of garbage time when you start breaking away some of that.
I just want to see if he can play like.
I want to see if because that's where I think
you make the case forget about all the other stuff
off the field. That's where you make the case of well, yeah, man,
he could still do it, and he was truly uh
stolen from that period of time because of the stance,
(30:31):
the platform he's tooking all that. Because if he can't play,
and it's like well all right, like pretty much picked
up where he left off. But but if he can,
I think it makes it that much more of a
story because he did ultimately sacrifice something because again the
thought was, hey, he's not a starter anymore when he
was leaving the league, and so if he comes back
(30:52):
in and he can't even make it as a back
at what he said he wants to do, then there's
not really much of a story. Therefore, if there's a
percentage on you CFL players that are playing in the
USFL right now, that ultimately are playing there because they
want to have another opportunity or first opportunity to make
it into the National Football League, what would you say
(31:13):
that percentages? Kyloo Lett, it was too of eight last night. Okay,
So so here's what if you're if you're saying you're
okay with being a backup now, why not go play
in the USFL and show people that you can be
a starter in the USFL, which would potentially build the
(31:36):
case and build the pressure for an NFL team to
have to give him an opportunity to come in and
try out. See to me, when when b S is BS,
you gotta call BS for what it is. If he
really wanted to get back into the National Football League,
there are more than enough places where he would be
able to go use his talent and prove and create
(31:57):
the film to be able to say my argument isn't
just my voice. My argument is my results. So I
got out here on the USFL team, and I showed
you I can still rock this. I can rock the
microphone the way that I do. I can still move
the crowd. He has done nothing that the other than talk,
And I just think that it's kind of it's kind
(32:18):
of why to me when you got a whole entire league,
this us F, USFL league, or any other league that
has has come about, All those guys are chasing the
same exact dream that Colin Kaepernick is chasing. They're not
getting the platform, they don't have the voice to be
able to say it the way that Colin Kaepernick is
saying that they have to do it the way that
they're going to do it. If you're Colin Kaepernick and
(32:39):
you know that the odds are against you, why not
just take the same approach that some of these other
guys are taking to try to get to where you're
trying to get to. It's a Two Pros and a

borrow six am Eastern Time, three o'clock Pacific. Missed any
of this show, you can check out the podcast at
Fox Sports Radio dot com. But right now it's time
(34:29):
for the main event. Let's go to the newsteps. Here's
Brady Quinn. YEA, yeah, I think it's the day that
a lot of people have been waiting for around the country.
A judge's decision to avoid the mask mandate prompts midflight
(34:50):
cheers among flyers. That's why, folks, no more masks on
planes and the airport's a Florida judge has avoided the
Biden administration's mass mandates for planes, trains, and busses. Yes,
Judge Catherine Kimball Mozzel has has made this ruling. And
so we don't have to worry about wearing masks anymore.
(35:13):
Even though everyone was going to claim that they did
something good in the first place. Well, uh so, now
there's a couple of drawbacks to that. One, people are
gonna have to start brushing their teeth again. Brush your teeth,
breath it's gum people, that's the biggest thing. You have
to control yourself. Deodorant. Yeah, you have to control yourself
on the airplane. People can see your higher face. Yes,
(35:35):
they can see your entire face. Now you can't just
go drop and trout and plan planned out. You can't
just let it fly crop dust because everybody can smell it. Now.
So yeah, that's uh, but we're we're all back to Now.
Does this mean that they're going to be no more
fights on like Spirit airlines? You know what, I would
(35:56):
love to do a study because I do believe that
the mass man dates and the way the even flight
attendants would enforce them. Because I've seen both the good
and bad where the flight attendants were polite about it
and other times where they were rude and the person
really wasn't doing anything. So I've seen the whole thing.
I think it's gonna go down. I think you're gonna
(36:16):
have a lot less confrontation. However, I was texting with
a colleague this morning and they said that about forty
percent of the plane still had masks on. The other
six did not see. That's the thing. You're gonna have
more fights now because you're going I got on a
plane last weekend and a lady was like, oh, good,
(36:36):
you have your mask on. The last plane I was on,
the men did not have his mask on at all,
for geez, and she was right, and friends, she just
would not stop going on about the mask. There's gonna
be mask shamers like, oh, it's not mandated anymore, but
you guys don't want to be safe. You still don't
(36:56):
want to be safe and put your mask on. How
about you do you all do me? And just let's
move on to shame. That's the problem, though, is there
is no shame in not wearing it now because you're
not forced to buy any government institute. And that's fine.
But like you just say to them, what's not in
the law anymore? Dude? Sorry, like I don't have to
(37:18):
tell you, and then they're they're insites the fight. I'm
just happy people to fight. I'm just happy people can
now smell my cologne again. My mombo that I get
ross dress for last for twelve man got one too.
It's all right. We don't get much time to one more.
(37:43):
Elon Must says he doesn't own a home and he
sleeps in friends spare bedrooms. Um. I don't know if
I necessarily believe it, because I feel like he's probably
running a place somewhere. But uh, maybe it's true. I
don't know. Would you would you let Elon Must sleep
over your place? Yeah? Why not? It seems like a
wouldn't It seems like I don't know him. I don't know.
(38:06):
I don't break almost two hundred and seventy billion dollars,
which means that he's got two hundred and seventy billion
ways to be the case. I don't want it. I
don't want him around. What do you think he's going
to do? I don't know. I don't know. He's going
to get away with whatever. Yeah, exactly. Fox Sports Radio
