until nine am Eastern times six o'clock specific through the
(01:10):
end of the hour here on fs are UM. I
gotta a little tickle on my throat here, but I'm
a professional, so I can drink it. You won't even
know that I'm drinking coffee on the air right now.
No one would ever know. And it's okay. Um, so
here's the I didn't even know why I'm having coffee
with how hot it is in the studio now based
on your what is a pocket heater? What do they
(01:32):
call it? Space heater? Yeah? I don't know. I don't know.
I forgot what the name. Found that to be very interesting.
That would have been an interesting concept. So up, I'm
not trying to start a fight or place any blame
here on anybody on the show. It's the last thing
I want to do, all right. But after I don't
(01:53):
know if it was Game one or Game I think
game I think it was Game one. Um. A member
of this show called out the Golden State Warrior fan
base and tried to compare them to the Boston fan base. Uh,
and really like what I thought went over the top.
And then the criticism and celebrating the Boston fan base
(02:15):
and and just their fandom for their team. Um, and
I just you know, wanted to play a little of Yeah. Well,
Clay Thompson last night was upset because there were fans
that were yelling f Draymond Um. And so Clay Thompson
afterwards was asked about the behavior from the fans. Uh,
and this is what he had to say. What were
your impressions of the crowd in the environment tonight and
(02:37):
how much was the fact was that a factor in
the game. There was not a factor. We played in
front of root of people before dropping f bombs with
children in the crowd. Real classy, good job, Boston. Alright,
So Brady, I mean you know this. These are the
people that you gassed up earlier in the week and
here they are cursing in front of kids. They proved
(03:00):
doubt that what aut I'm sorry, they're used to a
more sophisticated, actually stimulating crowd. What you said, yeah, and
you know Golden State. He sounded like a Golden State person.
Let me tell you something, U, here's why Clay Thompson
(03:21):
should relax a little bit. That game tipped off after
nine Eastern times. There's no kids there. Yeah, Like, so
if you're going to start a game that late, you
can kiss my ass on complaining about the the the
behavior of fans. At some point, what you guys are
saying is they needed to have I d S to
get into the arena. That's an adult crowd, all right,
that's an adult star time. And if you if you
(03:42):
set up an adult star time, expect adult behavior. You
don't like it playing baton ay, I do want to
tell you, like just so they could figure something to
complain about. Come on, man, well, I mean I'd like
to see him do it regardless, just to not have
to step up so like to watch these games. But
I mean here's the reality. De fans step over the line.
(04:03):
Sure all the time, regular season, postseason. This is for
an NBA championship. Though, like if there was ever a
time when you're gonna hear people saying, you know, for
different profanity or or vulgar vulgar words or name or whatever,
you'd expect to find it now. I mean, the odd
thing is that it's not like this is new. This
(04:24):
has gone on forever in every sports venue in the
history of sports. It's just we can more widely report
on it talk about it because we've got more access
to all of it, and players, you know, they're gonna
speak about it. But I mean the truth is always
I think if you if you give it any time
or knowledge, then obviously it's impacting you to a degree,
(04:44):
even if you don't want to admit it. So even
if you sit there and say, well, you know the
fan base is rude and you know it's nothing we
haven't faced before, Yeah, well, I mean you didn't win
the game. You lost by sixteen, like it had might
play some factor, right, I mean, I'm just calling it
what it is. Like, you know, you don't need to
go into in depth when you're describing what the fan
(05:06):
base is saying and little kids that around all stuff.
If it's not impact and you see, yeah I wasn't
a factor, leave at that? Does it? Okay? Let me
as a player on a on a big stage in
front of tens of thousands of people, does it really
ever impact you? Like? What what what fans are saying,
like what they're yelling, Like if somebody's cursing you out,
(05:26):
who cares? If you're focused in on what you're trying
to get done? What does it matter? And what do
you care if there are kids there that are being
cursed in front of the noise? Does as far as
just communication, I mean, like LaVar kan for I tell
you that, which is funny because like at home, you know,
that's when the crowds of the loudest, like the defense
has to operate in it, so he could speak to it.
(05:47):
But I mean, I would say more so for basketball.
I mean, you know, we play basketball before. Basketball is
a little bit different in terms of crowd participation because
it's more intimate. It's a more intimate sport. It's a
more intimate setting there they're closer to you, like they
can give you a high five after you make a play.
You know, you saw Aaron Donald and Lebron James give
(06:09):
each other an embrace after a play that Lebron made.
I mean, it's it's just the dynamics of it are different.
In football, you can block out the noise because they're
further away, even if every once in a while you
may get people that are close enough to to the
benches where you've seen players you know, I what, what
(06:30):
was the Peters that went up into the to the
stands and it was like, you know, you don't know me, homie,
like type deal. Yeah, you know, it's just kind of
you know, every once in a while you may have
an interaction in football, but it's nowhere near the amount
of intimacy in terms of the way the players and
the fans are able to interact with one another. I mean,
(06:51):
it's it's historically noted. I mean, look at Spike Les
moments with you know, Reggie Miller and Michael Jordan's and
and different people like that. And you you know, Drake
is famously you know, noted for his interactions with players
during games. I mean it's just different. And somebody reportedly
spent on Trey Young at MSG last year and different man.
(07:12):
And so you're so close and you can do so
many things. You know, where you goes wrong for for
football is if they do it to a family member,
like I can remember when we was all about to
run up into the stands because they had thrown beer
on uh On Clinton Portis's mom and Philly after we
had won the game to make it into the playoffs,
and that turned into like a pretty nasty thing. Um.
(07:35):
I just think that it's way more the Washington ridskins Um.
At the time they were known as the Washington Riskins
now the Washington Um Commanders Um, which we intimately referenced
them as the Commandos. Did you know that people were
getting offended by us calling them the commandos, Like I
(07:57):
was getting messages like it is truly offensive to call
it's well, my response my response in my hit, because
I didn't respond to them. My response in my hit
was it was more offensive than the name that you
were calling them before them no underwear, right, that's the problem.
People do that all the time. Yeah, I mean, like,
(08:19):
oh my god, come on, that ruined it. But I mean,
you know, and and obviously Washington's got an assistant coach. Um,
you know in the news, you can successfully you can
you can heckle successfully in in in basketball. Is the
(08:39):
point I was getting that. It's just it's funny that um,
and I think it was NBC Sports and Boston pointed
this out that Clay Thompson is sitting there complaining about
the language in front of kids. Meanwhile, Draymond Green has
his son next to him and is dropping an S
bomb at the postgame press here, So it is a
little bit hic. Yeah, but but hey, the Celtics with
a two one seriously, but yeah, listen, I mean, but again,
(09:02):
Brady called it out. He said, there's a difference between
two fan bases, you know, I mean, no one's willing
to curse in front of kids to help get a
win and the other uh you know, is it a
winery somewhere, you know whatever, with the mask of what
the funny irony of it is is that you need
one player on the sophisticated team to play like the
fan base and on the other team in order for
(09:23):
them to have a real opportunity to win the series. Um,
you mentioned that work, Yeah, you mentioned uh Washington LaVar
trying to come back to that. Well, I just you know,
I Jack del Rio obviously in the news. I just
like not so much what Jack del Rio said, but
just like, um, are you surprised at like that organization,
based on your intimate knowledge, would have some sort of
(09:45):
an issue. I don't have any more intimate knowledge on that.
What do you mean organization? What do you mean? And
I know Jack del Rio personally, I thought it was
a misstep and how he handled it well with the
wording of it. It wasn't a dust up. He should
have never used that phrase. People died. I don't care
what you know, political side you're on, it was. It
(10:07):
was not smart to say a dust up like I mean,
come on now, if you want to call it a
question like hey, why aren't things publicized the same or
you're treated the same in the media and all that.
That's one thing, But you can't call some something that
we've never seen before, at least in my lifetime, our
lifetimes and where people died and say it's a dust up,
(10:29):
all right, Like that's that's where he went wrong. But
he's not wrong to, you know, give his opinion or
question something. It's just you have to understand there's gonna
be criticism that comes along with it, especially when you
phrase the way you did. I just you know, I'm
just wondering, Um, what are you getting that well? I
just like with that organization, like just you know, another
misstep within that organization is and they did you see
(10:51):
any of that like when you played there, like any
sort of issues pop up? Brandy, I'm trying to get
him mine. Can you help out here together? He's doing
such a I thought we were in this together. It's like,
I mean, I tried, I went down that road. I
talked about getting my piece. I thought he was gonna
give it. Damn all right, you guys are reheaded. So
(11:14):
we were, you know, we were conspiring to try and
get you. Fine, we figured if we brought that topic up.
We could work you unto fine doesn't Well, you've gotta
earn it. Yeah, you've held the line. Man, You've done
a good job. Damn you better than me? Man sticks. Oh,
I mean you you got about thirty dollars worth of
fines today easily. Uh, all right. It is Two Pros
(11:37):
and a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington,
Brady Quinn, Jonas knocks with you here on FS are
coming up next. Uh. An NFL team has done it again.
They have figured out something that nobody else in the
league has. We'll have that discussion with you right here
on fs ARE. Be sure to catch live editions of
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn,
LaVar Arrington and Jonas knocks week days at six am
(12:00):
staring three am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
I Heart Radio. No No, Uh. Two Pros and a
Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio, Labari Arrington, Brady Quinn
(12:22):
Jonas on f S are coming up in a little
over ten minutes from now. Um, we're going to figure
out whether or not this excuse that was given by
one NFL team is legitimate or just a load of crap,
so that'll be a fun conversation. We are brought to
you by New Genics Texting and Rollsion to recurring automated

one of the inch Shrow songs that we play coming
into one of the hours here on this show is
by a band called Corn and Corn actually is from Bakersfield, California.
(13:10):
And I don't know if you guys know this or not,
but it's the all new Fox Sports nine seventy and
eight hundred in Bakersfield. Uh So AM nine seventy in Bakersfield.
They are adding an additional simulcast AM eight hundred. It's
going to cover more of Kern County so you can
hear us all over Kerrn County now not only on
(13:30):
Fox Sports seventy, but Fox Sports AM eight hundred, bigger
and better. Shout out and appreciation to Steve Darnell, who's
the general manager there Chris Squires, who's the p D,
the program director there. We appreciate the support and the love,
and it's awesome to be on in a in a
bigger place. Uh, in both places now covering more of
Kerrn County. So how about that on the West coast? Um,
(13:54):
speaking of the West Coast, man, the l a Rams
do it again. Just Uh, I'm actually getting kind of
tired of it, to be honest with you, I'm tired
of it. I'm tired of them being able to figure
out how they can afford every great player on their roster.
Just continue to hand out contracts. It was Aaron Donald
earlier this week, it was Matt Stafford earlier in the
(14:15):
off season. Uh. And now we've got Cooper cup who
gets a three year extension for eighty million dollars, seventy
five million dollars of it being guaranteed. So again, Uh,
the l a Rams less need Sea mcveay. Whatever they're doing,
I don't know if they're cooking the books. I don't
know what's going on there, but they continue to figure
this whole thing out. It's confusing to me, it's confusing
(14:37):
to a lot of people. Every time Brady breaks it down.
I think I have an understanding, and then they hand
out another contract and I'm more confused. I don't get it.
I don't understand. They keep kicking the can down the road. Right,
Eventually this all catches up to them when a guy
like Aaron Donald retires, when Matt Stafford restires, that's where
it comes to get you because you're you're paying a
(14:57):
portion of your salary cap out to those guys and
they're not playing anymore. Right, So that's where you find
yourself in a little bit of cap hell. But I mean,
you've got a window now where you just want a
Super Bowl. Why not try to run it back again.
No one's gonna remember the rebuild. People are only gonna
remember the success that you have. So while you're in
that time frame, and there's no doubt about it, the
(15:19):
l A rams are I think for the next two
three years, go after it. You know, you do all
you can get to make those stars. And let's not
get twisted about it. You've got a quarterback now, Matt Stafford,
who's you know, perennial, perennial Pro Bowl caliber talent, and
he could be back in their Cooper Cup had arguably
maybe the greatest, one of the best seasons statistically for
(15:40):
a wide receiver, one super Bowl MVP, and then the
best player in the NFL and Aaron Donald. So if
those are all the guys you're allocating your capital towards,
makes a lot of sense to me. I mean, I
have no problem with it. I think that the keys
to the numbers are seventy five million as far as
total guaranteed, it's most ever for a wide receiver. It's
the most for a non quarterback offensive player. And so
(16:03):
it's not even the fact that they're doing these deals
and they just keep throwing out cash, throwing out cash,
throwing out cash. It's the fact that, you know, Aaron
Donald is the highest paid non quarterback ever as far
as you know, average anuall sally we've ever seen. Right,
That's that's the first you know, Cooper cups deal a first.
It's the fact that they're able to do it, and
they're also like record setting and resetting the market in
(16:25):
some ways. Um, that's what stands out to me at least,
how they're doing it, you know, paying them big chunks
of cash and signing bonuses and then extending it over
a period of time and putting on those those voidable
dummy years on the back end of it to spread
out the signing bonus longer to reduce your salary cap hit.
That's been done before and that's not new. But again
(16:46):
you have to have the liquidity. You have to have
the cash to be able to do that. And clearly
stand Cronkey, clearly the l a rams do. They're just
maintaining and creating a happy environment, like go figure. It's
it probably is the most understated, you know, aspect of
what an organization should have associated with them happiness. I'm happy.
(17:12):
I was just I was just saying this morning, you know,
I was on my way and I was talking to Trish,
and I was like, you know, I really enjoy coming
to work, I said, I you know, there have been
times and and and in my career where I wouldn't
have been you know, I just wouldn't have been happy.
I wouldn't have been motivated to to jump up, get
(17:33):
myself ready, um and do my job. And and there's
something to be said about having a a happiness about
an energy that you're going to have going into your
job because you're going to bring that energy through those
doors and and that's going to become super super um
(17:56):
infectious to the rest of the people that are there.
You've done it with the people it's going to matter
the most. Two in terms of everybody that I've ever known,
I've never met Cooper cup before, um, but everyone that
I've known that's met him said, the dude is just
like a super super dope dude. He's amish, so he
looks at he's not. I don't think he is, but
(18:17):
but a lot of people really really respected. No, no, no no,
First off, I love what you're saying. I don't want
to cut it off for that right now. I'm more
want to ask the question, how confident are you? If
you gave a percentage of like how confident you are
that he's not amiss? What percentage would that be? Five percent?
I'd be five percent confident that he's not honest. That's it. Yeah,
(18:42):
that's about it. LaVar. If you, LaVar, if you saw
if you saw him pushing up pushing up the side
of a house, or saw him in the back of
a horse and carriage with a hat on, you wouldn't
say to him like, hey, buddy, do you know what
electricity is? I wouldn't get involved in all of that.
I just said, you know, have you seen the movie
Kingpin I have where what's his name? Yeah? Would you
(19:09):
reference Eddie Eddie quotes from that movie to him? Just
you know, no, I would not. I would stay away
from any of those things, just knowing that, you know,
I am um black man, so I kind of like
I could relate to some of the things that they
deal with as as Amish people. You know, some of
the ridicule and sc they come under. You know, that
(19:30):
was unnecessary. Did you know Bill Murray in that movie
the I think there's the he uh. They had a
script for him and that Bill Murray came to and
just said, I think I've got this this character down.
And there's like, if it was anyone else but Bill Murray,
we would have made him actually stick to the script.
But because it was Bill Murray, they just they let
(19:51):
him roll. It was a completely an ad libbed character
in the movie. It worked out brilliantly. Partward, Bill Murray
is showing kiss support forum for kids who don't have
dads and me and he has the girl. They're playing
football together and he's the girls he's bent down in
front of him and he's taking the snap and then
he goes go longer, Billy, go a little further. The
(20:17):
whole movie like one of the best comedies of all time.
There's a there's some great throwing that makes it. When
he's being interviewed by like the media or whatever it
is they're talking about the false accusations, there's some really,
I mean, there's stuff that like you cannot say it today.
He's he's sitting in the dinner and the waitress walks
up and goes another tangray and tab. He goes, yeah,
(20:38):
keep him coming, I got a long drive ahead of me.
That movie fantastic to the railed, such an amazing, amazing
um who you called a psycho, I didn't stay anything
to you exactly exactly. Again, I think that they're maintaining
(20:59):
a balance that is very difficult to do when you
have success, and that is very understated. When you have
a coach that is, you know, seemingly in tune enough
to make sure he maintains that you have a GM
and an owner um and snee and cranky, that that
you can assume that they understand the value of that.
(21:20):
It just isn't very common. It's not very common that
you have that type of balance where you're willing to
match what it is that you're practicing and and and
back it up with your actions, whether it be through acquisitions,
like you know, the way O'Dell Beckham got there, the
way von Miller got to the team, the way Stafford
(21:40):
got to the team. I mean, you name it. Like
a lot of these things came through relationships with other
players and and so it's like there's a respect factor
there with the rams, and the respect factor is playing
out with the way that they're compensating them. That's good
for the players that you have. But also, like as
as Q you were mentioning, once those guys are on
their way out, you know, you're you're actually building a
(22:03):
foundation where players are gonna want to come and play
for this team because they see how guys are treated.
They see that their voice matters, their input matters, and
they're compensated well if they do what what it is
they're supposed to do as it applies to being a player.
So to create that balance, you know, and keep in mind,
the NFC is is a vulnerable that's that's a vulnerable division,
(22:27):
right like the the the conference as as a whole,
or the division as a whole. You're talking about a
very very vulnerable side of the NFL. The a f
C looks very strong, but you gotta assume the strongest
division is the division that they're in. So if they're
keeping their guys happy and keeping them motivated, all they
(22:48):
really have to do is march through the NFC West
and perceivably they can handle and manage every other team
outside of the West. So it's a smart move to
be able to approach it the way that they're approaching it.
I'm just surprised they were able to afford all these
contracts and still pay people to show up to pretend
to be fans at the Super Bowl breade. Like, I'm
(23:09):
just you know, like financially, how they're able to pull
all that off. I think it's just really impressive. Plus,
I mean, who knows how much how much that that
Lombardi trophy kit cost Sean McVeigh. I mean, just like
they've got money everywhere within this organization apparently. Well, I
mean Stan Crocky did marry into the Walton family, which
has now got another piece of the NFL with the
(23:30):
Broncos bid. So God, Walmart's taken over, huh. They just
think they've already. They don't know that they're taking over.
They've they've always taken over. Just you know. Yeah, did
you know when you go to their like corporate offices,
that they'll charge you for a cup of water, Like
they'll charge you like a quarter of value. You've got
a value depends. Yeah, that's kind of the point is
(23:53):
like they like everything's got a price for like the
obviously they're known for like a great disc. It's a
lot of people grocery shop there. I know, I know
some of my buddy's grocery shop there. Um, but they
literally charged I'm not charging you, they literally charged for everything.
So I went there for it was, you know, this
charity event in Fayeteville and that's where like their their
(24:16):
headquarters are, and so we kind of went by and
they were telling some stories about it. But they literally
charged for like if you want a little those little
silo cups of water, like you gotta you gotta put
like fifty cents or something for that. That's a bit much,
okay for for a couple that is this like actual
bottled water. Is this taff like no, So imagine like
the big jug of water you typically see right, and
(24:39):
then you got those little silo cups you pull out
and fill it up like you gotta pay for that.
I mean, screw. Are you allowed to bring your own cup? Yeah,
but there's still charging you for the water. There's still
charge you for the water. Okay, it's just how they operate, man.
They look there, is it one of the is it
a cone cup or like one of the little like
(25:00):
cups that comes out because one time you gotta pay
fifty for regardless you're paying for the playing for Yeah,
that's you can hold out your hands and cup your
hands and then drink from your hands. You still got
paid for it. Even if I use my own hand,
I still gotta PAYO. Take off your shoe, fill your
(25:21):
shoe up with water. That is a bit much. That's
just that is too much. What's happening there? Uh? What's
going on here too? All right? It is two pros
and a cup of joe. Speaking of cups, here on
Fox Sports Radio, we are going to get into an
excuse handed out by one team in the league. We're
(25:43):
gonna find out whether or not it's a bunch of
crap that's yours right here on fs are but for
all the latest from around the world of sports. A
man who guarantee doesn't charge twenty five or fifty cents
for water when you go over to his house, Eddie Garcia,
you don't know that. So if you could drink the
water out of your hand, would would you? Would you
do that to save money? Just put your mouth out
(26:05):
of the tap and then just turn it on. Could
you do that? You can? I ask this question? Yeah,
what's the worst thing that you would drink out of
to save money? That you drink out to save money? Yeah, Like,
let's say clinning crew came and they cleaned a toilet
and then they filled it up with drinking water. Would
you drink from that? Not to say I can save
(26:25):
my life? Maybe, I mean I think I would survive life,
but not not to save money. I think your ve
drink out of a toilet. How about how about water
out of the tank of the toilet, not the bowl? Yeah,
the premise and no one did an upper deck or
(26:45):
two it. So you're just pretty good there by the way,
ladies and gentlemen, we're out of a place with a
face of big newon Kickoff Professional. Oh wow, that was
that was like repulsive? That that was the first time
I've ever heard that. Great, everybody, Yeah, we had a kid,
we had a kid, were like a boy. I knew it.
(27:06):
I knew it. I knew a guy who did that
at like a rival high school, like crashing a party house.
He did the upper decker, which you don't realize it
caused issues until after a couple of flushes. It is
so disrespectful. It's one of the most disrespectful pranks. I'm
not that motivated to do a prank. That's too much
(27:27):
work for I've never been that terminology. We need a
revenge for higher company. That's stick. Never now like mortified
right now, that's an Ohio thing there. I've never heard of.
It just might have missed out on that one. Expand
(27:47):
your mind, so glad, I mean it expanded today. Man,
Thanks thanks Eddy, Thanks for leading down that. I thought
that was Brady. I think that you let us down
there by finished it off. Hey. Game three the NBA Finals, Uh.
The Celtics beat the Warriors one. Warriors Brian Finley series
(28:11):
Celtics Jalen Brown twenty seven points, Jason Tatum twenty six points,
Marcus Smart twenty four points in the win for Boston
and say held Golden State to just eleven points in
the fourth quarters. Steph Curry did lead all scores with
thirty one points, but he did also get a bit
of an ankle injury there late in the fourth quarter.
Says he's gonna be okay for Game four. We'll see.
(28:32):
Game four comes up Friday in Boston. The Celtics now
leading that series two games to one. In the NFL,
the l A Rams and wider super Cooper Cup agree
on a three year contract extension worth eighty million seventy
five million guaranteed. He'll now get a hundred and ten
million over five years and be under contract through six.
In baseball, the Red Sox beat the Angels one nothing.
That's four team losses in a row for the Angels,
(28:53):
the longest losing skid in franchise history. Twins snapped the
Yankees seven game winning streak with an eight one win.
In the Battle of the Vision Leaders, Padres pound the
Mets three team to two, Dodgers down the White Sox
four to one. It was the Phillies shouting out the
Brewers tend nothing, and the Rays beat the Cardinals eleven
of three. So St. Louis days a half game back
of Milwaukee in the Razor, first in the end L
Central walk off wins for the Giants and the Marlins,
(29:18):
and now back to well upper decker. Bradydenr Arrington and
Jonas Stocks put that I've never done that before. I mean,
I've used the the old you know, resting spot, but
I've definitely that's what I's still one of the best
where you're using that resting spot. If I told you
(29:39):
my buddy story, Yeah, Jonas knows this, Eddie because my
buddies on who told him this. But he he turns
around backwards on the toilet, so if he passes out,
he's just it's like he's actually it's kind of smart.
I mean, oh man, uh, I thought you were using
(30:04):
it like you were sitting on the upper decker part
for the upper that's a whole different Yeah, all right, yeah,
because I'm saying that would be a break discussing if
you're asking it, I mean, just based off on my visual. Yeah. So,
by the way, we are going to have the b
Q news coming up ten minutes from now here on
FS are are you guys buying this excuse from Brady
(30:28):
Chicago Bears who lost in O t A practice, they
violated rules from the Collective Bargaining Agreement on O t
A s because there was contact in in their O
t A PC. Figure they're going to start finding teams
for that in games. Well, oh wait, they already do.
What's what's being going to what's being what's being thrown
(30:50):
out is that they're blaming this on young players that
are that are really aggressive, that are trying to prove themselves,
and that's why things got a little bit out of control.
So we're we're buying this one here for for the Chicago.
Contact to me means you have a helmet and pats on.
And if you have a helmet and pats on and
(31:11):
you're doing contact drills, it doesn't matter how valent or
non valent you are, that's still considered to be a
contact practice. I mean, I think bulling the ring in
May it's a bit much, you know, I mean, bulling
the ring is a bit much at any point. That
funny to say, uh, you know, young players though, when
I was in Seattle, um we got they got popped
(31:32):
the year before I got there, in the year I
got pop. Well, no, I'm just saying for for losing
you know, but I remember like being in practice on O.
T A S And think to myself, Yeah, I can
see how that happened. I mean it was. It was
like the most aggressive, you know, non padded practices I've
ever been a part of it. That was in part
(31:54):
because the roster was so competitive, Like I remember like
being obviously with various teams at that point, and like
that was the type of roster that every day in
the off season from March until I gotta let go
there at the end of August, you were like, all right,
like people are fighting just to like stay afloat on this,
(32:15):
on this roster because it's so competitive, like every practice,
everything we did, every workout, all that, and so you
like I kind of came away going that's as deep
and as talent of a roster as I've ever ever
seen in the NFL, at least in my experience. And
sure enough that went on to win a Super Bowl,
which made a lot of sense. But you could see why,
like that mentality of that defense back to the Legion
(32:35):
of Boom, the way Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas camp Chancel
and those guys, you know, Cliff Avril, Bobby Wagner. The
way those guys leading competed and played in the practiced,
it's set the tone. And that's the thing is when
you're in a competitive environment and you've got one side
who's trying to set the tone, they're always gonna try
to one up you, and so it's a constant battle
of like the other side wanting to win and want
(32:57):
to do a little bit more, a little bit more,
a little bit more. And got to the point where
like it was just all out football, Like there was
times it was just like football with just helmets on
and everyone's trying to avoid that during this time of
the year, but that's what you know, players wanted to do,
like and it didn't stop there, Like we'd go play
basketball afterwards, like Loki Bobby Wagging a great basketball player,
Earl Thomas, unbelievable, like that dude's got hops. He could play.
(33:20):
But you'd you'd like be out there and you're you're like, man,
these dudes just put that working in practice and now
they're coming here like they're playing for a Super Bowl
a basketball court right like it was. So I get it,
Like I understand like that that kind of environment. I
think the NFL p A looks at it as bad,
but I think there's other places where like that helps
actually create a little more competitive structure and makes them better.
(33:42):
So are you saying super Bowl for the Bears based
on this aggression? And well, yeah, my my super Bowl
Bears apparently right, because I've got family in Monmouth, Illinois,
I'm glad. I'm glad he brought that right next to
Knox County by the way. Coincidentally enough, all right, so
over going on a vacation there soon? Are you really?
(34:03):
That's fantastic? All right? Over? Under six and a half
wins for the Bears? What are we thinking over under? Here? Yeah?
Thank you? If it was three and a half, I'm
taking the over. Are yeah? Really went seven games? All right? Well,
I mean listen, you were bold on the Cowboys earlier
in the week. They're not going They're not going to
(34:25):
make the playoff, all right, I mean that's just calling shot.
Drew Brees is not going to make the playoffs. Getting
breezy and he's not going to call any games or anything. NBC.

Let's go to the news tests what news. Here's Brady
(37:52):
Quinn all right, yeah, yeah, I gave you guys a
photo of our first news story. Uh. And that's an
Australian woman named bre Duvall, native of Perth. Interesting story though,
her long term boyfriend blocked her on social media and
then shacked up with another woman while she was in
(38:13):
a coma from a devastating accident. Yeah, she came to
find out that he didn't visit her or didn't come
to see her. Why she was in this coma for weeks.
They the doctor said that she only had a ten
percent chance she'd survive from this catastrophic injury. But she has.
She's doing much better now. However, she had to read
(38:35):
through her phone or messages to find out that she's
no longer with her her long time board and he's
moved on. Well, I mean, you know, tough decisions are made.
I mean, you know, if you want to finish a book,
you had to turn the page just saying I just
you know, I mean, we don't know what the backstory
is with their relationship. I mean, you know, she may
(38:57):
have said something very hurtful. Um or who knows. But
uh and and this is her in the picture, by
the way, she'll be fine. Yeah, I mean, yeah, okay, okay,
I will go ahead and move on. Um well, I've
(39:19):
got a gas station in the state of Washington. A
cleric to she stopped an armed robbery suspect from holding
her up with bug spray. That was the weapon of
choice to defend herself. But it was effective in this. Yeah,
Like some of that stuff is like raid I mean,
like aunt spray or any of that stuff that's ever
(39:39):
you know in the house, even the stuff they tell
you it's like, oh it smells fresh, are they try
and add like a pot pourri to it. It's still
is pretty bad. And I would assume that stuff can
burn your eyes if if you were to spray somebody
with it right behind the counter. Huh, just just how much?
How much our gas prices in Washington? Which state do
you think has the cheapest gas as g Yeah, um,
(40:03):
like Montana or someplace like that might be more Alaska,
maybe Alaska more expensive? Don't think you just drive around
on dogs and what do you think it's the most expensive?
Got why? Why is that? I'm not sure. I asked somebody,
but I couldn't understand what they were saying. They had
(40:23):
a mask on, so I just I couldn't, you know,
trying to get the answer to that. It's very very strange.
Why do you think that is rady? It's more expensive
out here? I don't know, I don't know. I mean
taxier for everything else that's not in the news. Come

end of the hour here on fs are UM. I
gotta a little tickle on my throat here, but I'm
a professional, so I can drink it. You won't even
know that I'm drinking coffee on the air right now.
No one would ever know. And it's okay. Um, so
here's the I didn't even know why I'm having coffee
with how hot it is in the studio now based
on your what is a pocket heater? What do they
(01:32):
call it? Space heater? Yeah? I don't know. I don't know.
I forgot what the name. Found that to be very interesting.
That would have been an interesting concept. So up, I'm
not trying to start a fight or place any blame
here on anybody on the show. It's the last thing
I want to do, all right. But after I don't
(01:53):
know if it was Game one or Game I think
game I think it was Game one. Um. A member
of this show called out the Golden State Warrior fan
base and tried to compare them to the Boston fan base. Uh,
and really like what I thought went over the top.
And then the criticism and celebrating the Boston fan base
(02:15):
and and just their fandom for their team. Um, and
I just you know, wanted to play a little of Yeah. Well,
Clay Thompson last night was upset because there were fans
that were yelling f Draymond Um. And so Clay Thompson
afterwards was asked about the behavior from the fans. Uh,
and this is what he had to say. What were
your impressions of the crowd in the environment tonight and
(02:37):
how much was the fact was that a factor in
the game. There was not a factor. We played in
front of root of people before dropping f bombs with
children in the crowd. Real classy, good job, Boston. Alright,
So Brady, I mean you know this. These are the
people that you gassed up earlier in the week and
here they are cursing in front of kids. They proved
(03:00):
doubt that what aut I'm sorry, they're used to a
more sophisticated, actually stimulating crowd. What you said, yeah, and
you know Golden State. He sounded like a Golden State person.
Let me tell you something, U, here's why Clay Thompson
(03:21):
should relax a little bit. That game tipped off after
nine Eastern times. There's no kids there. Yeah, Like, so
if you're going to start a game that late, you
can kiss my ass on complaining about the the the
behavior of fans. At some point, what you guys are
saying is they needed to have I d S to
get into the arena. That's an adult crowd, all right,
that's an adult star time. And if you if you
(03:42):
set up an adult star time, expect adult behavior. You
don't like it playing baton ay, I do want to
tell you, like just so they could figure something to
complain about. Come on, man, well, I mean I'd like
to see him do it regardless, just to not have
to step up so like to watch these games. But
I mean here's the reality. De fans step over the line.
(04:03):
Sure all the time, regular season, postseason. This is for
an NBA championship. Though, like if there was ever a
time when you're gonna hear people saying, you know, for
different profanity or or vulgar vulgar words or name or whatever,
you'd expect to find it now. I mean, the odd
thing is that it's not like this is new. This
(04:24):
has gone on forever in every sports venue in the
history of sports. It's just we can more widely report
on it talk about it because we've got more access
to all of it, and players, you know, they're gonna
speak about it. But I mean the truth is always
I think if you if you give it any time
or knowledge, then obviously it's impacting you to a degree,
(04:44):
even if you don't want to admit it. So even
if you sit there and say, well, you know the
fan base is rude and you know it's nothing we
haven't faced before, Yeah, well, I mean you didn't win
the game. You lost by sixteen, like it had might
play some factor, right, I mean, I'm just calling it
what it is. Like, you know, you don't need to
go into in depth when you're describing what the fan
(05:06):
base is saying and little kids that around all stuff.
If it's not impact and you see, yeah I wasn't
a factor, leave at that? Does it? Okay? Let me
as a player on a on a big stage in
front of tens of thousands of people, does it really
ever impact you? Like? What what what fans are saying,
like what they're yelling, Like if somebody's cursing you out,
(05:26):
who cares? If you're focused in on what you're trying
to get done? What does it matter? And what do
you care if there are kids there that are being
cursed in front of the noise? Does as far as
just communication, I mean, like LaVar kan for I tell
you that, which is funny because like at home, you know,
that's when the crowds of the loudest, like the defense
has to operate in it, so he could speak to it.
(05:47):
But I mean, I would say more so for basketball.
I mean, you know, we play basketball before. Basketball is
a little bit different in terms of crowd participation because
it's more intimate. It's a more intimate sport. It's a
more intimate setting there they're closer to you, like they
can give you a high five after you make a play.
You know, you saw Aaron Donald and Lebron James give
(06:09):
each other an embrace after a play that Lebron made.
I mean, it's it's just the dynamics of it are different.
In football, you can block out the noise because they're
further away, even if every once in a while you
may get people that are close enough to to the
benches where you've seen players you know, I what, what
(06:30):
was the Peters that went up into the to the
stands and it was like, you know, you don't know me, homie,
like type deal. Yeah, you know, it's just kind of
you know, every once in a while you may have
an interaction in football, but it's nowhere near the amount
of intimacy in terms of the way the players and
the fans are able to interact with one another. I mean,
(06:51):
it's it's historically noted. I mean, look at Spike Les
moments with you know, Reggie Miller and Michael Jordan's and
and different people like that. And you you know, Drake
is famously you know, noted for his interactions with players
during games. I mean it's just different. And somebody reportedly
spent on Trey Young at MSG last year and different man.
(07:12):
And so you're so close and you can do so
many things. You know, where you goes wrong for for
football is if they do it to a family member,
like I can remember when we was all about to
run up into the stands because they had thrown beer
on uh On Clinton Portis's mom and Philly after we
had won the game to make it into the playoffs,
and that turned into like a pretty nasty thing. Um.
(07:35):
I just think that it's way more the Washington ridskins Um.
At the time they were known as the Washington Riskins
now the Washington Um Commanders Um, which we intimately referenced
them as the Commandos. Did you know that people were
getting offended by us calling them the commandos, Like I
(07:57):
was getting messages like it is truly offensive to call
it's well, my response my response in my hit, because
I didn't respond to them. My response in my hit
was it was more offensive than the name that you
were calling them before them no underwear, right, that's the problem.
People do that all the time. Yeah, I mean, like,
(08:19):
oh my god, come on, that ruined it. But I mean,
you know, and and obviously Washington's got an assistant coach. Um,
you know in the news, you can successfully you can
you can heckle successfully in in in basketball. Is the
(08:39):
point I was getting that. It's just it's funny that um,
and I think it was NBC Sports and Boston pointed
this out that Clay Thompson is sitting there complaining about
the language in front of kids. Meanwhile, Draymond Green has
his son next to him and is dropping an S
bomb at the postgame press here, So it is a
little bit hic. Yeah, but but hey, the Celtics with
a two one seriously, but yeah, listen, I mean, but again,
(09:02):
Brady called it out. He said, there's a difference between
two fan bases, you know, I mean, no one's willing
to curse in front of kids to help get a
win and the other uh you know, is it a
winery somewhere, you know whatever, with the mask of what
the funny irony of it is is that you need
one player on the sophisticated team to play like the
fan base and on the other team in order for
(09:23):
them to have a real opportunity to win the series. Um,
you mentioned that work, Yeah, you mentioned uh Washington LaVar
trying to come back to that. Well, I just you know,
I Jack del Rio obviously in the news. I just
like not so much what Jack del Rio said, but
just like, um, are you surprised at like that organization,
based on your intimate knowledge, would have some sort of
(09:45):
an issue. I don't have any more intimate knowledge on that.
What do you mean organization? What do you mean? And
I know Jack del Rio personally, I thought it was
a misstep and how he handled it well with the
wording of it. It wasn't a dust up. He should
have never used that phrase. People died. I don't care
what you know, political side you're on, it was. It
(10:07):
was not smart to say a dust up like I mean,
come on now, if you want to call it a
question like hey, why aren't things publicized the same or
you're treated the same in the media and all that.
That's one thing, But you can't call some something that
we've never seen before, at least in my lifetime, our
lifetimes and where people died and say it's a dust up,
(10:29):
all right, Like that's that's where he went wrong. But
he's not wrong to, you know, give his opinion or
question something. It's just you have to understand there's gonna
be criticism that comes along with it, especially when you
phrase the way you did. I just you know, I'm
just wondering, Um, what are you getting that well? I
just like with that organization, like just you know, another
misstep within that organization is and they did you see
(10:51):
any of that like when you played there, like any
sort of issues pop up? Brandy, I'm trying to get
him mine. Can you help out here together? He's doing
such a I thought we were in this together. It's like,
I mean, I tried, I went down that road. I
talked about getting my piece. I thought he was gonna
give it. Damn all right, you guys are reheaded. So
(11:14):
we were, you know, we were conspiring to try and
get you. Fine, we figured if we brought that topic up.
We could work you unto fine doesn't Well, you've gotta
earn it. Yeah, you've held the line. Man, You've done
a good job. Damn you better than me? Man sticks. Oh,
I mean you you got about thirty dollars worth of
fines today easily. Uh, all right. It is Two Pros
(11:37):
and a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington,
Brady Quinn, Jonas knocks with you here on FS are

(12:22):
Jonas on f S are coming up in a little

one of the inch Shrow songs that we play coming
into one of the hours here on this show is
by a band called Corn and Corn actually is from Bakersfield, California.
(13:10):
And I don't know if you guys know this or not,
but it's the all new Fox Sports nine seventy and
eight hundred in Bakersfield. Uh So AM nine seventy in Bakersfield.
They are adding an additional simulcast AM eight hundred. It's
going to cover more of Kern County so you can
hear us all over Kerrn County now not only on
(13:30):
Fox Sports seventy, but Fox Sports AM eight hundred, bigger
and better. Shout out and appreciation to Steve Darnell, who's
the general manager there Chris Squires, who's the p D,
the program director there. We appreciate the support and the love,
and it's awesome to be on in a in a
bigger place. Uh, in both places now covering more of
Kerrn County. So how about that on the West coast? Um,
(13:54):
speaking of the West Coast, man, the l a Rams
do it again. Just Uh, I'm actually getting kind of
tired of it, to be honest with you, I'm tired
of it. I'm tired of them being able to figure
out how they can afford every great player on their roster.
Just continue to hand out contracts. It was Aaron Donald
earlier this week, it was Matt Stafford earlier in the
(14:15):
off season. Uh. And now we've got Cooper cup who
gets a three year extension for eighty million dollars, seventy
five million dollars of it being guaranteed. So again, Uh,
the l a Rams less need Sea mcveay. Whatever they're doing,
I don't know if they're cooking the books. I don't
know what's going on there, but they continue to figure
this whole thing out. It's confusing to me, it's confusing
(14:37):
to a lot of people. Every time Brady breaks it down.
I think I have an understanding, and then they hand
out another contract and I'm more confused. I don't get it.
I don't understand. They keep kicking the can down the road. Right,
Eventually this all catches up to them when a guy
like Aaron Donald retires, when Matt Stafford restires, that's where
it comes to get you because you're you're paying a
(14:57):
portion of your salary cap out to those guys and
they're not playing anymore. Right, So that's where you find
yourself in a little bit of cap hell. But I mean,
you've got a window now where you just want a
Super Bowl. Why not try to run it back again.
No one's gonna remember the rebuild. People are only gonna
remember the success that you have. So while you're in
that time frame, and there's no doubt about it, the
(15:19):
l A rams are I think for the next two
three years, go after it. You know, you do all
you can get to make those stars. And let's not
get twisted about it. You've got a quarterback now, Matt Stafford,
who's you know, perennial, perennial Pro Bowl caliber talent, and
he could be back in their Cooper Cup had arguably
maybe the greatest, one of the best seasons statistically for
(15:40):
a wide receiver, one super Bowl MVP, and then the
best player in the NFL and Aaron Donald. So if
those are all the guys you're allocating your capital towards,
makes a lot of sense to me. I mean, I
have no problem with it. I think that the keys
to the numbers are seventy five million as far as
total guaranteed, it's most ever for a wide receiver. It's
the most for a non quarterback offensive player. And so
(16:03):
it's not even the fact that they're doing these deals
and they just keep throwing out cash, throwing out cash,
throwing out cash. It's the fact that, you know, Aaron
Donald is the highest paid non quarterback ever as far
as you know, average anuall sally we've ever seen. Right,
That's that's the first you know, Cooper cups deal a first.
It's the fact that they're able to do it, and
they're also like record setting and resetting the market in
(16:25):
some ways. Um, that's what stands out to me at least,
how they're doing it, you know, paying them big chunks
of cash and signing bonuses and then extending it over
a period of time and putting on those those voidable
dummy years on the back end of it to spread
out the signing bonus longer to reduce your salary cap hit.
That's been done before and that's not new. But again
(16:46):
you have to have the liquidity. You have to have
the cash to be able to do that. And clearly
stand Cronkey, clearly the l a rams do. They're just
maintaining and creating a happy environment, like go figure. It's
it probably is the most understated, you know, aspect of
what an organization should have associated with them happiness. I'm happy.
(17:12):
I was just I was just saying this morning, you know,
I was on my way and I was talking to Trish,
and I was like, you know, I really enjoy coming
to work, I said, I you know, there have been
times and and and in my career where I wouldn't
have been you know, I just wouldn't have been happy.
I wouldn't have been motivated to to jump up, get
(17:33):
myself ready, um and do my job. And and there's
something to be said about having a a happiness about
an energy that you're going to have going into your
job because you're going to bring that energy through those
doors and and that's going to become super super um
(17:56):
infectious to the rest of the people that are there.
You've done it with the people it's going to matter
the most. Two in terms of everybody that I've ever known,
I've never met Cooper cup before, um, but everyone that
I've known that's met him said, the dude is just
like a super super dope dude. He's amish, so he
looks at he's not. I don't think he is, but
(18:17):
but a lot of people really really respected. No, no, no no,
First off, I love what you're saying. I don't want
to cut it off for that right now. I'm more
want to ask the question, how confident are you? If
you gave a percentage of like how confident you are
that he's not amiss? What percentage would that be? Five percent?
I'd be five percent confident that he's not honest. That's it. Yeah,
(18:42):
that's about it. LaVar. If you, LaVar, if you saw
if you saw him pushing up pushing up the side
of a house, or saw him in the back of
a horse and carriage with a hat on, you wouldn't
say to him like, hey, buddy, do you know what
electricity is? I wouldn't get involved in all of that.
I just said, you know, have you seen the movie
Kingpin I have where what's his name? Yeah? Would you
(19:09):
reference Eddie Eddie quotes from that movie to him? Just
you know, no, I would not. I would stay away
from any of those things, just knowing that, you know,
I am um black man, so I kind of like
I could relate to some of the things that they
deal with as as Amish people. You know, some of
the ridicule and sc they come under. You know, that
(19:30):
was unnecessary. Did you know Bill Murray in that movie
the I think there's the he uh. They had a
script for him and that Bill Murray came to and
just said, I think I've got this this character down.
And there's like, if it was anyone else but Bill Murray,
we would have made him actually stick to the script.
But because it was Bill Murray, they just they let
(19:51):
him roll. It was a completely an ad libbed character
in the movie. It worked out brilliantly. Partward, Bill Murray
is showing kiss support forum for kids who don't have
dads and me and he has the girl. They're playing
football together and he's the girls he's bent down in
front of him and he's taking the snap and then
he goes go longer, Billy, go a little further. The
(20:17):
whole movie like one of the best comedies of all time.
There's a there's some great throwing that makes it. When
he's being interviewed by like the media or whatever it
is they're talking about the false accusations, there's some really,
I mean, there's stuff that like you cannot say it today.
He's he's sitting in the dinner and the waitress walks
up and goes another tangray and tab. He goes, yeah,
(20:38):
keep him coming, I got a long drive ahead of me.
That movie fantastic to the railed, such an amazing, amazing
um who you called a psycho, I didn't stay anything
to you exactly exactly. Again, I think that they're maintaining
(20:59):
a balance that is very difficult to do when you
have success, and that is very understated. When you have
a coach that is, you know, seemingly in tune enough
to make sure he maintains that you have a GM
and an owner um and snee and cranky, that that
you can assume that they understand the value of that.
(21:20):
It just isn't very common. It's not very common that
you have that type of balance where you're willing to
match what it is that you're practicing and and and
back it up with your actions, whether it be through acquisitions,
like you know, the way O'Dell Beckham got there, the
way von Miller got to the team, the way Stafford
(21:40):
got to the team. I mean, you name it. Like
a lot of these things came through relationships with other
players and and so it's like there's a respect factor
there with the rams, and the respect factor is playing
out with the way that they're compensating them. That's good
for the players that you have. But also, like as
as Q you were mentioning, once those guys are on
their way out, you know, you're you're actually building a
(22:03):
foundation where players are gonna want to come and play
for this team because they see how guys are treated.
They see that their voice matters, their input matters, and
they're compensated well if they do what what it is
they're supposed to do as it applies to being a player.
So to create that balance, you know, and keep in mind,
the NFC is is a vulnerable that's that's a vulnerable division,
(22:27):
right like the the the conference as as a whole,
or the division as a whole. You're talking about a
very very vulnerable side of the NFL. The a f
C looks very strong, but you gotta assume the strongest
division is the division that they're in. So if they're
keeping their guys happy and keeping them motivated, all they
(22:48):
really have to do is march through the NFC West
and perceivably they can handle and manage every other team
outside of the West. So it's a smart move to
be able to approach it the way that they're approaching it.
I'm just surprised they were able to afford all these
contracts and still pay people to show up to pretend
to be fans at the Super Bowl breade. Like, I'm
(23:09):
just you know, like financially, how they're able to pull
all that off. I think it's just really impressive. Plus,
I mean, who knows how much how much that that
Lombardi trophy kit cost Sean McVeigh. I mean, just like
they've got money everywhere within this organization apparently. Well, I
mean Stan Crocky did marry into the Walton family, which
has now got another piece of the NFL with the
(23:30):
Broncos bid. So God, Walmart's taken over, huh. They just
think they've already. They don't know that they're taking over.
They've they've always taken over. Just you know. Yeah, did
you know when you go to their like corporate offices,
that they'll charge you for a cup of water, Like
they'll charge you like a quarter of value. You've got
a value depends. Yeah, that's kind of the point is
(23:53):
like they like everything's got a price for like the
obviously they're known for like a great disc. It's a
lot of people grocery shop there. I know, I know
some of my buddy's grocery shop there. Um, but they
literally charged I'm not charging you, they literally charged for everything.
So I went there for it was, you know, this
charity event in Fayeteville and that's where like their their
(24:16):
headquarters are, and so we kind of went by and
they were telling some stories about it. But they literally
charged for like if you want a little those little
silo cups of water, like you gotta you gotta put
like fifty cents or something for that. That's a bit much,
okay for for a couple that is this like actual
bottled water. Is this taff like no, So imagine like
the big jug of water you typically see right, and
(24:39):
then you got those little silo cups you pull out
and fill it up like you gotta pay for that.
I mean, screw. Are you allowed to bring your own cup? Yeah,
but there's still charging you for the water. There's still
charge you for the water. Okay, it's just how they operate, man.
They look there, is it one of the is it
a cone cup or like one of the little like
(25:00):
cups that comes out because one time you gotta pay
fifty for regardless you're paying for the playing for Yeah,
that's you can hold out your hands and cup your
hands and then drink from your hands. You still got
paid for it. Even if I use my own hand,
I still gotta PAYO. Take off your shoe, fill your
(25:21):
shoe up with water. That is a bit much. That's
just that is too much. What's happening there? Uh? What's
going on here too? All right? It is two pros
and a cup of joe. Speaking of cups, here on
Fox Sports Radio, we are going to get into an
excuse handed out by one team in the league. We're
(25:43):
gonna find out whether or not it's a bunch of
crap that's yours right here on fs are but for
all the latest from around the world of sports. A
man who guarantee doesn't charge twenty five or fifty cents
for water when you go over to his house, Eddie Garcia,
you don't know that. So if you could drink the
water out of your hand, would would you? Would you
do that to save money? Just put your mouth out
(26:05):
of the tap and then just turn it on. Could
you do that? You can? I ask this question? Yeah,
what's the worst thing that you would drink out of
to save money? That you drink out to save money? Yeah, Like,
let's say clinning crew came and they cleaned a toilet
and then they filled it up with drinking water. Would
you drink from that? Not to say I can save
(26:25):
my life? Maybe, I mean I think I would survive life,
but not not to save money. I think your ve
drink out of a toilet. How about how about water
out of the tank of the toilet, not the bowl? Yeah,
the premise and no one did an upper deck or
(26:45):
two it. So you're just pretty good there by the way,
ladies and gentlemen, we're out of a place with a
face of big newon Kickoff Professional. Oh wow, that was
that was like repulsive? That that was the first time
I've ever heard that. Great, everybody, Yeah, we had a kid,
we had a kid, were like a boy. I knew it.
(27:06):
I knew it. I knew a guy who did that
at like a rival high school, like crashing a party house.
He did the upper decker, which you don't realize it
caused issues until after a couple of flushes. It is
so disrespectful. It's one of the most disrespectful pranks. I'm
not that motivated to do a prank. That's too much
(27:27):
work for I've never been that terminology. We need a
revenge for higher company. That's stick. Never now like mortified
right now, that's an Ohio thing there. I've never heard of.
It just might have missed out on that one. Expand
(27:47):
your mind, so glad, I mean it expanded today. Man,
Thanks thanks Eddy, Thanks for leading down that. I thought
that was Brady. I think that you let us down
there by finished it off. Hey. Game three the NBA Finals, Uh.
The Celtics beat the Warriors one. Warriors Brian Finley series
(28:11):
Celtics Jalen Brown twenty seven points, Jason Tatum twenty six points,
Marcus Smart twenty four points in the win for Boston
and say held Golden State to just eleven points in
the fourth quarters. Steph Curry did lead all scores with
thirty one points, but he did also get a bit
of an ankle injury there late in the fourth quarter.
Says he's gonna be okay for Game four. We'll see.
(28:32):
Game four comes up Friday in Boston. The Celtics now
leading that series two games to one. In the NFL,
the l A Rams and wider super Cooper Cup agree
on a three year contract extension worth eighty million seventy
five million guaranteed. He'll now get a hundred and ten
million over five years and be under contract through six.
In baseball, the Red Sox beat the Angels one nothing.
That's four team losses in a row for the Angels,
(28:53):
the longest losing skid in franchise history. Twins snapped the
Yankees seven game winning streak with an eight one win.
In the Battle of the Vision Leaders, Padres pound the
Mets three team to two, Dodgers down the White Sox
four to one. It was the Phillies shouting out the
Brewers tend nothing, and the Rays beat the Cardinals eleven
of three. So St. Louis days a half game back
of Milwaukee in the Razor, first in the end L
Central walk off wins for the Giants and the Marlins,
(29:18):
and now back to well upper decker. Bradydenr Arrington and
Jonas Stocks put that I've never done that before. I mean,
I've used the the old you know, resting spot, but
I've definitely that's what I's still one of the best
where you're using that resting spot. If I told you
(29:39):
my buddy story, Yeah, Jonas knows this, Eddie because my
buddies on who told him this. But he he turns
around backwards on the toilet, so if he passes out,
he's just it's like he's actually it's kind of smart.
I mean, oh man, uh, I thought you were using
(30:04):
it like you were sitting on the upper decker part
for the upper that's a whole different Yeah, all right, yeah,
because I'm saying that would be a break discussing if
you're asking it, I mean, just based off on my visual. Yeah. So,
by the way, we are going to have the b
Q news coming up ten minutes from now here on
FS are are you guys buying this excuse from Brady
(30:28):
Chicago Bears who lost in O t A practice, they
violated rules from the Collective Bargaining Agreement on O t
A s because there was contact in in their O
t A PC. Figure they're going to start finding teams
for that in games. Well, oh wait, they already do.
What's what's being going to what's being what's being thrown
(30:50):
out is that they're blaming this on young players that
are that are really aggressive, that are trying to prove themselves,
and that's why things got a little bit out of control.
So we're we're buying this one here for for the Chicago.
Contact to me means you have a helmet and pats on.
And if you have a helmet and pats on and
(31:11):
you're doing contact drills, it doesn't matter how valent or
non valent you are, that's still considered to be a
contact practice. I mean, I think bulling the ring in
May it's a bit much, you know, I mean, bulling
the ring is a bit much at any point. That
funny to say, uh, you know, young players though, when
I was in Seattle, um we got they got popped
(31:32):
the year before I got there, in the year I
got pop. Well, no, I'm just saying for for losing
you know, but I remember like being in practice on O.
T A S And think to myself, Yeah, I can
see how that happened. I mean it was. It was
like the most aggressive, you know, non padded practices I've
ever been a part of it. That was in part
(31:54):
because the roster was so competitive, Like I remember like
being obviously with various teams at that point, and like
that was the type of roster that every day in
the off season from March until I gotta let go
there at the end of August, you were like, all right,
like people are fighting just to like stay afloat on this,
(32:15):
on this roster because it's so competitive, like every practice,
everything we did, every workout, all that, and so you
like I kind of came away going that's as deep
and as talent of a roster as I've ever ever
seen in the NFL, at least in my experience. And
sure enough that went on to win a Super Bowl,
which made a lot of sense. But you could see why,
like that mentality of that defense back to the Legion
(32:35):
of Boom, the way Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas camp Chancel
and those guys, you know, Cliff Avril, Bobby Wagner. The
way those guys leading competed and played in the practiced,
it's set the tone. And that's the thing is when
you're in a competitive environment and you've got one side
who's trying to set the tone, they're always gonna try
to one up you, and so it's a constant battle
of like the other side wanting to win and want
(32:57):
to do a little bit more, a little bit more,
a little bit more. And got to the point where
like it was just all out football, Like there was
times it was just like football with just helmets on
and everyone's trying to avoid that during this time of
the year, but that's what you know, players wanted to do,
like and it didn't stop there, Like we'd go play
basketball afterwards, like Loki Bobby Wagging a great basketball player,
Earl Thomas, unbelievable, like that dude's got hops. He could play.
(33:20):
But you'd you'd like be out there and you're you're like, man,
these dudes just put that working in practice and now
they're coming here like they're playing for a Super Bowl
a basketball court right like it was. So I get it,
Like I understand like that that kind of environment. I
think the NFL p A looks at it as bad,
but I think there's other places where like that helps
actually create a little more competitive structure and makes them better.
(33:42):
So are you saying super Bowl for the Bears based
on this aggression? And well, yeah, my my super Bowl
Bears apparently right, because I've got family in Monmouth, Illinois,
I'm glad. I'm glad he brought that right next to
Knox County by the way. Coincidentally enough, all right, so
over going on a vacation there soon? Are you really?
(34:03):
That's fantastic? All right? Over? Under six and a half
wins for the Bears? What are we thinking over under? Here? Yeah?
Thank you? If it was three and a half, I'm
taking the over. Are yeah? Really went seven games? All right? Well,
I mean listen, you were bold on the Cowboys earlier
in the week. They're not going They're not going to
(34:25):
make the playoff, all right, I mean that's just calling shot.
Drew Brees is not going to make the playoffs. Getting
breezy and he's not going to call any games or anything. NBC.

Let's go to the news tests what news. Here's Brady
(37:52):
Quinn all right, yeah, yeah, I gave you guys a
photo of our first news story. Uh. And that's an
Australian woman named bre Duvall, native of Perth. Interesting story though,
her long term boyfriend blocked her on social media and
then shacked up with another woman while she was in
(38:13):
a coma from a devastating accident. Yeah, she came to
find out that he didn't visit her or didn't come
to see her. Why she was in this coma for weeks.
They the doctor said that she only had a ten
percent chance she'd survive from this catastrophic injury. But she has.
She's doing much better now. However, she had to read
(38:35):
through her phone or messages to find out that she's
no longer with her her long time board and he's
moved on. Well, I mean, you know, tough decisions are made.
I mean, you know, if you want to finish a book,
you had to turn the page just saying I just
you know, I mean, we don't know what the backstory
is with their relationship. I mean, you know, she may
(38:57):
have said something very hurtful. Um or who knows. But
uh and and this is her in the picture, by
the way, she'll be fine. Yeah, I mean, yeah, okay, okay,
I will go ahead and move on. Um well, I've
(39:19):
got a gas station in the state of Washington. A
cleric to she stopped an armed robbery suspect from holding
her up with bug spray. That was the weapon of
choice to defend herself. But it was effective in this. Yeah,
Like some of that stuff is like raid I mean,
like aunt spray or any of that stuff that's ever
(39:39):
you know in the house, even the stuff they tell
you it's like, oh it smells fresh, are they try
and add like a pot pourri to it. It's still
is pretty bad. And I would assume that stuff can
burn your eyes if if you were to spray somebody
with it right behind the counter. Huh, just just how much?
How much our gas prices in Washington? Which state do
you think has the cheapest gas as g Yeah, um,
(40:03):
like Montana or someplace like that might be more Alaska,
maybe Alaska more expensive? Don't think you just drive around
on dogs and what do you think it's the most expensive?
Got why? Why is that? I'm not sure. I asked somebody,
but I couldn't understand what they were saying. They had
(40:23):
a mask on, so I just I couldn't, you know,
trying to get the answer to that. It's very very strange.
Why do you think that is rady? It's more expensive
out here? I don't know, I don't know. I mean
taxier for everything else that's not in the news. Come
