(01:01):
It's been a wild one so far. Uh, you know,
a cornucopia a pinata of sports talk radio. A lot
of people were waiting around through an extended tease to
get the bet from Live Bet Jesus that has been
placed on Justin Thomas over Shane Lowry on the tenth
hole at St. Andrews for the Open Championship. And what
(01:23):
I'm not quite sure a little bit of a delay
here with the WiFi. I believe they are on the
tent hole as it stands right now. I'm sure you've
got the house rat lead to lap, the Live Bet
Jesus snake lead to lap go ahead. Ly they just
started the tent hole, okay, and um, Justin Thomas is
what tied for twelfth right now? If I'm not mistaken,
it doesn't matter Shane. Where is Shane Lowry? He is struggling,
(01:48):
he's blogist, he's plus one. So, um, real quick, what
were the odds on this? On this bet? It was
plus two hundred for Justin Thomas plus two Shane LeVar
huh oh, so he's still picking the favorite there. What
I don't understand money The favorite was that they tie
in the hole. Yeah, well you didn't pick that, did you?
(02:10):
I didn't pick anything. Well, I bet Jesus picked it.
So I'm just saying if they tie on the hole,
what happens that that's a loss that would be but
he he had the balls, he or and could be
she I don't know to think that he didn't understand
that that was a possibility. So if for remade the bet, no,
I think he was well aware of what the possibilities
were on this beat man chances the chance that it
(02:34):
could be the case. LaVar, what do you think? I mean,
just in this whole you notice my silence there? Did you?
Did you guys notice my sallece? It was like that
was on purpose. Lack of response to your question was
on purpose. So you're clear on that. You got to
get into the betting world war man. Come on, come on, LaVar,
(02:55):
it's really fun it is. You can make fun of
show us all his losses. Yeah, that's fine. I'm I'm
understanding that just like I l it's it's the wave
of the future, like it's hair. I get it. Um.
I want to understand it more. I want to do
more with it because there's a lot of money connected
to it. It's true. I just haven't really been into it,
(03:18):
like I just never been a gambler. I mean, I
like black jack, that's about it. I'll play black jack.
I'll play tonk if I'm with my teammates when I
was playing, you know, it's like Rummy five hundred, but
just less cards and it's quicker. What is rummy five hundred?
You don't know what rummy five? Is? That? The same thing?
(03:41):
Like where do you get three of a kind or
you know, like you do spread, you gotta have three
not three of a con but you gotta have three
in a row like two, three, four. But you could
go as far as you want to go, five, six, seven,
but it's you gotta get out. You gotta get out
in however many cards you have in your hand, you
know those are points, you know what I mean. So
(04:01):
it's like kind of like you can go backwards or
you could go forward. If you get out, you get
your points, right, But if you're up when somebody goes
out and you have like sixty sixty points worth of
cards in your hands, that's not good because then you
go backwards. I'm a firm believer, and I'm not trying
to alienate anybody or offend anybody here this morning. The
(04:24):
last thing I want to do. But I just think
that if you don't or have never gambled once in
your life, you're a loser like I just I'm a
firm believer in that. I just like like grow a
pair and and lay some money down and just and
just see what happens. There's nothing wrong with it, you know.
I mean, look, it's everywhere you look now that sports
books opening up outside. Yes, absolutely hair pressure people in
(04:48):
the gambling. Absolutely cold blooded. Hey, let me tell you
what cold blood it is. Cold blooded is the story
t J. Houshman Zada told me about you at the
blackjack table in Vegas. That's cold you speaking. You just
kept letting it ride. You've told the story on the air.
You just kept letting it ride. So yeah, I don't care. Yeah,
(05:09):
from five dollars, I went up to like thirty grand
and like a matter of like two hours, I was
like rain Man on that bad boy and gave it
all back like three hands. Depressing. They switched out the deck,
they switched out the dealer, and because it was head
(05:31):
to head, I was like, I'm gonna play you like
the dealer. That's how I That's how I got there,
you know, That's how I got there though that I
played the dealer like I'm the dealer, and that's how
I get there, you know. And and so I got
there and then I just I had just some some
bad breaks, like like I got like two aces, like
(05:54):
I had like a ten thousand dollar bet and it
was like hell, yeah I split then you double down, bro,
And then I doubled down. Yeah you know, so you
tell me how much that is? Now when the dealer
asked offered you to math though, it was probably like
(06:15):
in between six to ten thou dollars um. So I
split aces, I doubled down and lost on both. And
that's how I got down back. Like as I went
into the hole, Yeah, I was out of there. Imagine
if I had hit Imagine if I hit though, so
(06:37):
then the story would be drastically different. See if if
I was up that much and lost it, though, I
would not handle it well like I would. I would
tie a trash can to my ankles and jump in
the Blagio fountain and just say, see you guys, leaky
can is not going to you know, drown you that
that my ankle isn't the fountain isn't deep enough for
(06:58):
you to drown. Okay, well listen to mean you know
what I mean. I just wouldn't I wouldn't handle it
as as calmly as you did, like I would, just
I would disappear for a while. I just think that
if I saw you in the Bellaggio Hotel, uh fountain
with a trash can tied to your ankles and you
were trying to drown yourself but you weren't doing a
good job of it, I would probably be like Jonas,
(07:19):
like you gotta use this. Can we get a little
more water near? You? Know? Um? So can I Can
I ask you this? Brady? I'm this feels like somebody's
throwing a little bit of shade. Not not LaVar, but
(07:41):
this feels like somebody's throwing a little bit of shade.
And and I don't think they actually mean what they're
saying or they believe what they're saying. So Mike Gundy
yesterday and and the Oklahoma state head coach, you were
there big twelve media days. He had this to say
about Bedlam and the rivalry with Oklahoma now that they
are on their way to the SEC take a lesson. Well,
(08:02):
the future in Bedlam is is a year or two left.
I mean that's the future of Bedlam. Um based on
somebody else's decision from my understanding when this, when they
do the conference scheduling, they are going to have out
of conference games. Correct, the idea that that Oklahoma and
Oklahoma State would just not play each other moving forward.
(08:25):
I don't think that makes sense at any level for
anybody involved. So I don't know why Mike Gundy took
that approach. Am I missing something here? No, And that's
that's one of the things that I think is a
little bit laughable. When they talk about like conference realignments
and the traditions of college football gonna go away, It's like, no,
they're not, Like, you're still gonna have rivalries. You're still
(08:45):
gonna be able to have three non conference games that
you can schedule your rifle in one of those three
games if you want. If they're no longer in your conference,
like it, it's still possible. You know, even conferences as
they get rid of rid of divisions and look at
scheduling and trying to figure out how it worked, they
they're saying, Hey, we're gonna keep those rivalries in existence.
We're not gonna due away with them. So it's it's overstated. Now.
(09:09):
I don't know if that is more a byproduct of
Oklahoma State taking a stance that like, hey, Oklahoma went
behind our back and we felt like we were aligned
in how we viewed you know, college football, the Big
Twelve Conference, our future, and then you went behind our
back and did something with Texas, which is like we
(09:31):
we thought we were you know, we're all on the
same page there, like it's Oklahoma versus Texas, right, like
whether it's Oklahoma or Oklahoma State, like we're both against Texas.
But Oklahoma went behind their back homie hopping and decided
to get with Texas to go and roll the SEC.
So there might be some some harsh feelings there um
(09:53):
by Mike Gundy, by you know the powers that be
in the administration in regards to Oklahoma where they're like, yeah,
we're just we're not gonna do bedlam, Like we're not
going to have that anymore. You know, he's been at
Oklahoma State for a long time. He's one of the
few coaches active coaches left in college football that's amassed
(10:15):
over a hundred wins at that specific school. There's not
many guys who've got that title, who are active head
coaches that have done that. It's him, UM coach Whittingham,
there a Utah. I'm trying to think of some of
the others off top of my head, but like it's tough, man, Like,
there's not many active coaches who have won a hundred
games at their school, and he's in that category. He's
(10:37):
been there seventeen years and that's pretty much been where
he's coached, So God bless. I mean, I'll give him this.
I mean, at least he has the resume and has
the time invested to have an opinion about it. You know,
whether it's whether it's delusional or not, whether it is
founded or not, you still gotta respect it. I can't
(11:00):
even imagine what type of relationships he has within the
Oklahoma state, Uh, the faithful. I mean, that's a long time.
It's just kind of you don't see that anymore. I'm
I'm sitting there. I was like, I was looking it up,
like to be like, you know, you'll you'll coach at three, four,
(11:21):
five more schools before you're done. Like, who, why do
you care so much about Bedlam? But you know what,
he's got a little bit of time invested in in
that that that matchup. So I'm not going giving too
much of a hard time because I respect that I
respect longevity, I respect loyalty, UM to your job. So
you know I'm not gonna hate on him. He played there, right,
(11:44):
he played at Olahoma State, so he understands the rivalry
from every perspective. And it's it's one of the things
where I think it hurts him, UM just to see
the state of college football with where it's at. Like
I think he's put so much time, effort, blood, sweat
and tears into that team, UH, into that program at
university that I think he looks at and says like,
(12:05):
I can't believe that we could get left out on
the outside looking in with all the movement and where
things are going right now. And that's probably how it
feels if you're not a part of the Big tenor
of the SEC right now. Like if you don't, if
you're not getting teams coming to your conference, it's probably
a bad sign. And so that's why I think when
I said earlier about the Big Twelve, they've got some
(12:26):
hope because they do have teams who are are wanting
to come to their conference like you do have UCF
in Houston and b y U and Cincinnati and and
and you to look say what you want about the
size of those schools of regards to their following, but um,
there are rather large instance institutions. On top of that.
You're talking about big markets, and that's the other thing,
(12:48):
and that whole equation is like, whether it matters or not,
you're still occupying them big twelve footprint some of those
bigger TV markets where those schools reside. It's two Pros
and a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington,
Brady Quinn, Jonas Knocks, brought to you by Discover. We

redeem credit card rewards, or we could talk about how

All right, it's coming up next. We're going to get
the very latest from some news and notes around the NFL. Plus,
are we going to see another big time contract extension
for a quarterback in the a f C. We'll get
to the bottom of that coming up. From next year
(13:31):
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 Eastern,
three am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I
Heart Radio. Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Here
on Fox Sports Radio. A little over twenty minutes from now,
it's the return of the b Q News a one
(13:52):
day hiatus, but it is back. The most trusted news
source and all the land is back a little over
twenty minutes from now. Right now, though, we turn it
over to Albert Brier, senior NFL reporter at the MMQB Yeah,
I mean, but I'm talking like news, like sports news,
NFL news. It's Albert Brier on Twitter at Albert Bues
News is by the b Q. Al what's happening. How's
(14:17):
your Thursday? I'm good, I'm good. How you guys doing?
I No, no, no, it's it's actually after you. Yeah, Albert, Okay, okay, yeah,
we've only been a part of this show now for
its entire existence. But that's right, and you're not going
to rundown and no offense. Brady did make sure and
(14:38):
he said this specifically Alberts on the undercard to the
b Q News, not vice versa. So that's why we
finished the b Q news. I actually would never say
that Albert um Jonas just tries to hype up the
news segment most of you because the first news um
this week will or excuse me today will be coming
from him. Since he said it he really wants to
get It's that I have no interest whatsoever and trying
(15:02):
to groove it my way. But since we're gonna do
what we're gonna do it. Um. So, the Lamar Jackson
contract situation with the Ravens, um, he's you know, tried
to calm everybody down this week and said, you know,
we're having discussions. It's not what a lot of people
are making it out to be. From people you've talked to,
how close are they to getting a deal done? And
(15:23):
what has been taken so long? I mean, I think
what's taken so long is Lamar has desired to do
a deal, and I can't tell you specifically what his
strategy has been. UM. You know, I like I think
it actually if it was to wait till at the
market escalates, and it really worked because if you look
at like the number of quarterbacks that were over forty
(15:43):
a year back in February versus where we are now. Um,
you know, there's no question it's standard now for for
for a top I think at forty million dollars a year. Um,
you know, really, I think the reason why you haven't
heard the blow by blow that you often do in
these sort of cases is the Ravens have a real
understanding of how important trust is to Lamar. And because
(16:07):
this is a different creation where an agent isn't involved, Uh,
they know that any sort of public posturing here could
poison the well. And so I think, you know, where
like in a normal contract negotiation, might be hearing about
momentum going this layer that way, and they're back and
forth and they're not going to get a deal. They're
going to get a deal, you know, in this case,
(16:29):
you know, because there's not an agent involved in the
player's side, and because the team knows that making anything
public could be problematic. I think there's been kind of
this small circle cap. There aren't very many people involved,
and that's why it's hard to really engage where this
thing is. I said, I do know what the Ravens
think of Lamar, and I assume they try to get
(16:50):
something done with you know, the one complicated factor being, um,
you know the deal that Deshaun Watson did and whether
or not you know Lamar Draws are very hard line
and getting a fully guaranteed contract. We saw Steve Shotti's
comments on that obviously earlier in the offseason, and he
was one of the few owners that was vocal about
what the Browns did. Oh do they say? Did they
(17:11):
do something bad? Is that? Was that not what what
most of us wanted out? Well, I would say I
would say it was pretty I would say, like the
other owners, it was probably. I mean, I guess the
pactors don't have an owners would be thirty of thirty
right like would probably agree. It's just not very many
many of them actually came out and said something. And
the Ravens owner happened to say something about it. Yeah,
(17:34):
well that's unfortunate. Um, I don't want to ask you
about Deshaun Watson because I know at some point, um,
you know, Jonas, he's looking for an update, like he
wants this news store to keep going, don't. It can't
end soon enough for me, Albert. But every every day
Jonas has to talk about at some point at the NBA,
(17:56):
what do you want? I mean, you call it the
NBA is not even playing right now. Well, I'm just saying,
like that's the only thing out there. So we got
t Sean or we got Adam Silver, can I ask?
I mean, it's a lot easier to sort through what's
going on with the Sean than it is like the
trade demands, right Like one day guy's demanding a trade,
the next day he's not. Then, I mean, now Kyrie
doesn't want to play with with Durrant anymore, right, Like
(18:17):
I I can't keep track of the way all of
that's going. So it seems like there's more developments there. Well,
and maybe they're more complicated. Albert is a really easy
way to summarize it, and you just say, who cares? Um?
So I do want to ask you this question. Were
in regards to what's going to happen with the punishment
(18:39):
to Deshaun Watson. I feel like we've kind of been
flip flopping all over the place, which is ironic that
I said that, Sean. I mean, it's been a four
year suspension too. Now it feels like it's not going
to be a full year suspension. Um. Suell Robinson's gonna
take even longer to make sure she looks over everything,
We're probably not gonna get a decision until right before
(19:00):
trading camp. Um, where do you where do you stand
right now? Like what is your best guess as to
when we'll find out about the punishment and how long
it will actually be? Yeah, I mean, I like this
is gonna sound like a cop out, but I think
because we don't have any track record on Suell Robinson Um,
and because she's comes from outside the NFL sphere, it
(19:20):
makes this like unpredictable. And so you know, I think
these ideas of a Friday Who's dump for um or
like hawking, it's done right before training camp unless there's
a negotiated settlement, and it's really it is sue Robinson Um,
you know, putting down a decision. Um. You know, I
don't know that we can even use like the normal
calendar that we would with these sorts of decisions, you know.
(19:43):
So I would say the one that the tea leaves
that you can read here are really based on the
comfort level of the two sides. And the reason why
Brady I think We've done from it looking like a
year to maybe it looking like less than that is
because right now the NFL looks a little less comfortable
Deshaun Watson's side does with where the hearing went. Um And,
(20:04):
I think I said this to you guys over the
last couple of weeks. But the one thing I do
know is that Robinson wasn't happy that, you know, so
much of the NFL's position became public. And I know
the way the NFL operates, I know how savvy they
are when it comes to pr and I know that
they feel like they can't look like they're soft on
crime on this sort of thing, you know what I mean,
(20:25):
like whether the guy's guilty or not, whatever, you know, whatever,
that the details are, what happened and everything else. The
NFL knows they can't come down on something like this
and look like they're being soft on it. And so
if the NFL was totally comfortable that that that Sue
Robinson was gonna rule in their favor, I think they
wouldn't do anything to rock the boat in this case.
(20:46):
It looks like they're getting their position out there, maybe
because they're a little less comfortable with those things going
away that that they hoped it would. Um And I
think some of the details of the case to work
in Deshaun's favor as well. Um, include, and this isn't
limited to this, but I think it's a big one.
Is the fact that the NFL only brought the cases
(21:06):
of five women and only spoke to four of those
women out of the sixty six that the Sean allegedly
reached out over the year and a half period. Is
that their own like inability to actually get more out
of those women is that they're the lack of resources
is I mean, what do you draw conclusion to Because
I I see that, I go, like my conspiracy mind
(21:27):
goes off, and I go, well, maybe the NFL really
doesn't want one of their stars at quarterback to not
play for an entire season, so maybe they're not putting
forth the best case. Here's where I think it is, Brady.
Um And I wouldn't totally dismiss any conspiracy when it
comes to this stuff, but I like my feeling on
it is that like the low numbers indicative of how
(21:48):
different each case is, you know, and um, you know
the twenty four lawsuits of the sixties, six different women. Um,
you know. I I think looking at this as like
a black and white thing, and looking at this is
like a straight line pattern by de Shaun Watson would
be a mistake. UM. I don't think every single accusation
is the same. I don't think every woman is the same. UM.
(22:10):
And I think that that's one thing that maybe the
general public has missed here, UM, in the strength of
each case, you know, the strength of each cases. I
think there's differences in the strength of each case. So UM,
I think that's a huge part of it, you know,
is that this is way more complicated than a lot
of people in the general public realize. And each of
these individual cases is different than the next one. And
(22:32):
so if the NFL is trying to establish a pattern,
maybe there are fewer of these cases than those big,
raw numbers that we've all heard that can actually be
used to establish that pattern. Maybe let's stay in this
realm of mindset of conversation, but let's just switch teams
and switch position from from quarterback to owner. UM. Not
(22:56):
a good look to be avoiding subpoena power, UM. In
in terms of doing an interview, that could really in
a lot of ways help you to move forward, UM
and get past everything that has been a part of
what's going on right now. UM connected to you. But
(23:20):
that's not the approach Dan Snyder is taking in terms
of with his his business and with his franchise. From
your from the circles you're in and the things you're hearing,
what are the latest like developments, I mean, concerns have
to be mounting in terms of the way he's handling things. Yeah,
(23:42):
I mean, LaVar, I can tell you, and I think
that there are other owners that aren't happy with the
way this is gone. Um And I don't know if
they're furious over it, but I mean this has gone
on for so long now and it's almost like, I mean,
the whole thing him like you know, being up there
in the on the open seas so they can't serve
(24:03):
him as subpoena. I mean, it's just like it makes
everybody look ad you know. And when the NFL had
like I mean, it's unbelievable, is yeah, like cat like
Captain Dan in the French River year like you can't
get honestly, it's like it sounds made up when you
(24:24):
hear the story. Um, you know, And I think like
for the other owners that the problem here is that
but there have been like this isn't the only like
accusation these are the only accusations of workplace misconduct that
the NFL has had to battle, right like over the
last ten years. And so if you look at those
sorts of things, I think there are other owners that
(24:46):
are that him acting this way is going to get
them all up together, and not every owner is this way,
you know, and so um, you know, I I would
say that like there's I think just gonna continue to
be russure put on Dan Snyder by other owners to
sell the team, whether or not they can push him
(25:07):
to that breaking point. Um, I don't know. He's started
pretty high tolerance for for stuff coming out on him
and refute team m But you know, I think for
right now, like I wouldn't surprise me if we start
to hear more things come out about the operations of
that team over the next five or six months and
(25:28):
in an effort to maybe try to turn the heat
up on him and see if there's a way they
can get him to sell the team voluntarily. I don't
think that they want to get to the point where
they have to vote him out, and we've talked about
that over the last few months, Like they don't want
to set that precedent. They don't want people digging through
their own trash all that stuff. Um, And I don't
know if they'd eventually get to that point, but you know,
it wouldn't surprise me at all. Though. If we start
(25:50):
to hear more see more about what's happened in Washington
the last twenty years that comes out, you know, it's
maybe an effort from either the league or other owners
to try to pressure Dan Snyder to sell the team.
Is a dance Snyder Dad has that trash of the
other owners, I mean, And that's another part of it, right,
Like I guess that's the other bolevard, that's the other
(26:11):
movie element of this, right, Like it's like, I mean,
everybody's dirty laundry could get air if that happening, you know. So,
I mean like you guys know things about each other,
you know, So, how do they know so much about
each other just because they hang out in forty with
each other? Or it's like, I mean, I mean they
all know how, they all know how how each other's
businesses work, you know what I mean, they've traded notes,
(26:34):
they know, you know what I mean. Like there and
I'm not saying they know everything about each other, but
they know more than the general public knows about each other. Um,
And I can tell you that because I've I've heard stories,
you know, like, so I would say, I would say,
I would say there's definitely some risk, because there's definitely
some risk there. And God, now you guys are gonna
ask me to tell those stories live here in the
(26:56):
right I'm not going to do that, but to do
that now. But but but but but but I mean,
like you know, like there's definitely there's definitely things out
there that could get other owners in trouble. And like
I would think that would you know, absolutely, Bar that
would be that'd be a factor for other guys. Yeah, No,
it definitely wouldn't do that. Albert brierre joining us here
on Fox Sports Radio, So, what are some of those
(27:16):
stories you've heard about other owners in the NFL? That
was that was a smooth transition, trying our best. Um.
We asked this question earlier this week because it was
kind of related to Jimmy Garoppolos on his way out
and Trey Lance is you know, going to be the
starter moving forward apparently in San Francisco, And we asked,
(27:37):
what's more likely that San Francisco wins the division or
they finished dead last. What would your pick be? It's
more likely they win the division. I mean I I
just think Seattle's rebuilding, um like Ari Arizona will see,
there's a lot going on there. Um, So I think
(27:59):
there's a good chance they finished second. And then the
question is can they feed out the Rams? Well? And
the Rams are great and they've you know, like they've
proved a lot over the last five years. My question
with the Rams is always they have have they had
that year where they have like a couple of key
injuries where you know, like I mean the roster has
(28:19):
been sort of top heavy, you know, so if they
lost Aaron Donald for the year, like like could you
see Sam rans is going in the division? Then And
I'm not hoping this on anybody, obviously, I'm not for
taking anything happening, but like you know, the NFL like
things moved that way sometimes, you know. So I feel
like right now San Francisco is closer to the top
and they were at the bottom. People forget they were
(28:39):
in the NFC title Game last year and the Super
Bowl two years ago or three years ago. Um, and
you know, I just I just works the wrong way
for the Rams. And I think you can come up
with a pretty easy scenario or the Niners, um, you know,
steal the division. You know. The other end of it
would be, is Seattle a lot better than we think
(29:00):
they are. And if Seattle's not better than a four
or five win team, Samerson is going to be that bad. Like,
I just don't see it. You're you're betting on Trey
Lance really showing out right, I mean yeah, But I'm
also though, I mean, like, look like, but here's the thing.
Bright He is like so like Robert Griffin in Washington, right, like,
(29:23):
like so much that was Kyle, right like, so much
of that Robert Griffin's rookie year in Washington was what
Kyle did to accommodate him and highlight what he does
really well. Now, like is what they did with RG
three sustainable? Maybe not, but he did it for a year.
But are you telling me? Are you telling me? Yeah,
Trey Lance is not Robert Griffin. He didn't win, He's
(29:46):
not he wasn't a potential track star like running the ball, Like,
I I don't know that they're the same. I'm I'm
not saying like and I'm not saying he's gonna turn
tray Lance into a supernova. But I think at the
very least, like we've we've we've seen Kyle make it
work with different types of quarterbacks, right Like over the years,
we've seen like Kyle is smart enough to make it work.
(30:10):
So can you turn them into Robert Griffin in two
thousand and twelve? Yeah, probably not, you know, but can
he make him a really competent quarterback and a threat
um for a team that's gonna be really really good
around him? I don't see why not. I mean, if
they get Debo back and and that's still you know,
up in the air. But you know, now you've got Debo,
I you kittle um that offensive line, you know, and
(30:32):
and then you know guys like Nick Posts on defense.
Eric Arms said, like that's Fred Warner, Like that's a
really good team. Where I I just have to think
Kyle can make it work for the quarterback with the
pieces he has around him. It's Albert Brier. Get him
on Twitter at Albert Brier, Senior NFL reporter at the
mm QB. Good buddy of the show here and we
(30:55):
are fired up. Football's right around the corner. When do
you start making plans for your training camp tour. What
does that happened? I think, I think I'm on the
so am I going to a concert next weekend at
regularly was like college friends. And then after that, you
seeing we're going to see Chris Stapleton, like a couple
of my voice of an angel. God, he's got a
great voice. Yeah, so like all of my buddies organized it.
(31:17):
So we're going there and I get back like that Sunday,
which I think is the twenty five, and then I'm
on the road and the twenty six, so I go
from there back to Boston. Then the next morning, I
think I'm gonna flight the Buffalo. I love Chris Stapleton. Stapleton,
he's good. You Are you going to wear an Ohio
T shirt, shave off and die your grays and where
(31:37):
No no, no, no no no, I'm going incognito to
regul Jane shorts? Are you wearing Jeane shorts? I that's
actually not a bad idea. How to consider that's supposed
to shorts? You can't wear shorts? You know they judge
George a man who's comfortable with himself. There's where's George?
(32:00):
I wear them all the time. That's why I was
asking I think it's unum Albert. We'll have a good weekend.
We will do it again next week. Hope we will
have some news on Deshaun Watson. We could put a
bow on all that. Huh, all right, have a great weekend.
There is a but here. Hey, I know we're up
(32:20):
against it. We get an update though from Lee in
regards to the Open and the live dead Jesus bet

cut his ear off. You are one of the only
people who I think wouldever be critical of Chris Stapleton's voice.
(34:56):
Why somebody's gonna get sensitive about that? Jokes everybody. I
didn't like the song when I first heard it, and
then what happed like it? At first? Then you had
something happened in your life and you were sipping on
maybe a little whiskey, maybe to the drink, listen to
the song. You go wait a second, all right, now,
I get it. The people around me love the song
so much that I had to adjust and adapt to
(35:19):
being able to listen to it. And then I actually
listened to it, and that kind of it grew on me.

Let's go to the news desk. Here's Brady. Uh yeah,
hear us. Get this one out of the way, since
you really want me to read this one. A man
was arrested for for slang a fisherman out of fear
(36:26):
that he was going to be eaten by bigfoot. I mean, listen,
that's plausible, all right. I don't know if anybody's ever
been to appear or something like that, or you know,
deep sea fishing and an ocean. I think it's very
possible that you would accidentally harm or kill somebody because
(36:47):
you thought Bigfoot was coming fishing. That really wouldn't make
any sense for not any at all, abominable snowman. Uh
you know, Okay, well listen, I mean, how do you
know you when he gets big foot X? You know, forest,
wooded areas probably I've seen the weird photos. Okay, but
(37:07):
there's usually a lake nearby, or somebody of water near by,
a creek more like Bigfoot can't swim? Is that what
you're saying? No, he runs through the water. Never seen
him swim, no pictures. Alright, alright, story. Yeah, I don't
know why Brady was trying to shoehorn it in. I
(37:29):
just he's going to jail a boy the way they
the guy who killed the fisherman. What do you think
it's defense lawyer is gonna sanity? Yeah? All right, well,
hey listen, I don't I don't know why LaVar wanted
that story red the Rhode Island State Senator. I'm sure
(37:54):
you guys saw this. Uh twenty eight year old Tiara
Mack while she got in a little bit of trouble
She actually was temporary suspended from TikTok because she was
chalking on an eight second video that apparently people took
issue with. It has gone viral. I would say this one,
I didn't know that. You know, she was obviously a
(38:16):
congress woman before this. Now I do so, I guess
the tactic probably, but she she received a little bit
of hatred. Obviously TikTok thought it was a little bit
too much. But yeah, I mean it's a great balance.
Um you know, legs, legs all the way up. Yeah,
(38:38):
it's uh, that's something. Um Man, it's just like like
someone who's is like, all right, this was cool, get
viral or is it more of just I don't know,
maybe that's in the state of politics, alright, just think
it's the sign of the time. Now at Rhode Island,

(01:01):
It's been a wild one so far. Uh, you know,
a cornucopia a pinata of sports talk radio. A lot
of people were waiting around through an extended tease to
get the bet from Live Bet Jesus that has been
placed on Justin Thomas over Shane Lowry on the tenth
hole at St. Andrews for the Open Championship. And what
(01:23):
I'm not quite sure a little bit of a delay
here with the WiFi. I believe they are on the
tent hole as it stands right now. I'm sure you've
got the house rat lead to lap, the Live Bet
Jesus snake lead to lap go ahead. Ly they just
started the tent hole, okay, and um, Justin Thomas is
what tied for twelfth right now? If I'm not mistaken,
it doesn't matter Shane. Where is Shane Lowry? He is struggling,
(01:48):
he's blogist, he's plus one. So, um, real quick, what
were the odds on this? On this bet? It was
plus two hundred for Justin Thomas plus two Shane LeVar
huh oh, so he's still picking the favorite there. What
I don't understand money The favorite was that they tie
in the hole. Yeah, well you didn't pick that, did you?
(02:10):
I didn't pick anything. Well, I bet Jesus picked it.
So I'm just saying if they tie on the hole,
what happens that that's a loss that would be but
he he had the balls, he or and could be
she I don't know to think that he didn't understand
that that was a possibility. So if for remade the bet, no,
I think he was well aware of what the possibilities
were on this beat man chances the chance that it
(02:34):
could be the case. LaVar, what do you think? I mean,
just in this whole you notice my silence there? Did you?
Did you guys notice my sallece? It was like that
was on purpose. Lack of response to your question was
on purpose. So you're clear on that. You got to
get into the betting world war man. Come on, come on, LaVar,
(02:55):
it's really fun it is. You can make fun of
show us all his losses. Yeah, that's fine. I'm I'm
understanding that just like I l it's it's the wave
of the future, like it's hair. I get it. Um.
I want to understand it more. I want to do
more with it because there's a lot of money connected
to it. It's true. I just haven't really been into it,
(03:18):
like I just never been a gambler. I mean, I
like black jack, that's about it. I'll play black jack.
I'll play tonk if I'm with my teammates when I
was playing, you know, it's like Rummy five hundred, but
just less cards and it's quicker. What is rummy five hundred?
You don't know what rummy five? Is? That? The same thing?
(03:41):
Like where do you get three of a kind or
you know, like you do spread, you gotta have three
not three of a con but you gotta have three
in a row like two, three, four. But you could
go as far as you want to go, five, six, seven,
but it's you gotta get out. You gotta get out
in however many cards you have in your hand, you
know those are points, you know what I mean. So
(04:01):
it's like kind of like you can go backwards or
you could go forward. If you get out, you get
your points, right, But if you're up when somebody goes
out and you have like sixty sixty points worth of
cards in your hands, that's not good because then you
go backwards. I'm a firm believer, and I'm not trying
to alienate anybody or offend anybody here this morning. The
(04:24):
last thing I want to do. But I just think
that if you don't or have never gambled once in
your life, you're a loser like I just I'm a
firm believer in that. I just like like grow a
pair and and lay some money down and just and
just see what happens. There's nothing wrong with it, you know.
I mean, look, it's everywhere you look now that sports
books opening up outside. Yes, absolutely hair pressure people in
(04:48):
the gambling. Absolutely cold blooded. Hey, let me tell you
what cold blood it is. Cold blooded is the story
t J. Houshman Zada told me about you at the
blackjack table in Vegas. That's cold you speaking. You just
kept letting it ride. You've told the story on the air.
You just kept letting it ride. So yeah, I don't care. Yeah,
(05:09):
from five dollars, I went up to like thirty grand
and like a matter of like two hours, I was
like rain Man on that bad boy and gave it
all back like three hands. Depressing. They switched out the deck,
they switched out the dealer, and because it was head
(05:31):
to head, I was like, I'm gonna play you like
the dealer. That's how I That's how I got there,
you know, That's how I got there though that I
played the dealer like I'm the dealer, and that's how
I get there, you know. And and so I got
there and then I just I had just some some
bad breaks, like like I got like two aces, like
(05:54):
I had like a ten thousand dollar bet and it
was like hell, yeah I split then you double down, bro,
And then I doubled down. Yeah you know, so you
tell me how much that is? Now when the dealer
asked offered you to math though, it was probably like
(06:15):
in between six to ten thou dollars um. So I
split aces, I doubled down and lost on both. And
that's how I got down back. Like as I went
into the hole, Yeah, I was out of there. Imagine
if I had hit Imagine if I hit though, so
(06:37):
then the story would be drastically different. See if if
I was up that much and lost it, though, I
would not handle it well like I would. I would
tie a trash can to my ankles and jump in
the Blagio fountain and just say, see you guys, leaky
can is not going to you know, drown you that
that my ankle isn't the fountain isn't deep enough for
(06:58):
you to drown. Okay, well listen to mean you know
what I mean. I just wouldn't I wouldn't handle it
as as calmly as you did, like I would, just
I would disappear for a while. I just think that
if I saw you in the Bellaggio Hotel, uh fountain
with a trash can tied to your ankles and you
were trying to drown yourself but you weren't doing a
good job of it, I would probably be like Jonas,
(07:19):
like you gotta use this. Can we get a little
more water near? You? Know? Um? So can I Can
I ask you this? Brady? I'm this feels like somebody's
throwing a little bit of shade. Not not LaVar, but
(07:41):
this feels like somebody's throwing a little bit of shade.
And and I don't think they actually mean what they're
saying or they believe what they're saying. So Mike Gundy
yesterday and and the Oklahoma state head coach, you were
there big twelve media days. He had this to say
about Bedlam and the rivalry with Oklahoma now that they
are on their way to the SEC take a lesson. Well,
(08:02):
the future in Bedlam is is a year or two left.
I mean that's the future of Bedlam. Um based on
somebody else's decision from my understanding when this, when they
do the conference scheduling, they are going to have out
of conference games. Correct, the idea that that Oklahoma and
Oklahoma State would just not play each other moving forward.
(08:25):
I don't think that makes sense at any level for
anybody involved. So I don't know why Mike Gundy took
that approach. Am I missing something here? No, And that's
that's one of the things that I think is a
little bit laughable. When they talk about like conference realignments
and the traditions of college football gonna go away, It's like, no,
they're not, Like, you're still gonna have rivalries. You're still
(08:45):
gonna be able to have three non conference games that
you can schedule your rifle in one of those three
games if you want. If they're no longer in your conference,
like it, it's still possible. You know, even conferences as
they get rid of rid of divisions and look at
scheduling and trying to figure out how it worked, they
they're saying, Hey, we're gonna keep those rivalries in existence.
We're not gonna due away with them. So it's it's overstated. Now.
(09:09):
I don't know if that is more a byproduct of
Oklahoma State taking a stance that like, hey, Oklahoma went
behind our back and we felt like we were aligned
in how we viewed you know, college football, the Big
Twelve Conference, our future, and then you went behind our
back and did something with Texas, which is like we
(09:31):
we thought we were you know, we're all on the
same page there, like it's Oklahoma versus Texas, right, like
whether it's Oklahoma or Oklahoma State, like we're both against Texas.
But Oklahoma went behind their back homie hopping and decided
to get with Texas to go and roll the SEC.
So there might be some some harsh feelings there um
(09:53):
by Mike Gundy, by you know the powers that be
in the administration in regards to Oklahoma where they're like, yeah,
we're just we're not gonna do bedlam, Like we're not
going to have that anymore. You know, he's been at
Oklahoma State for a long time. He's one of the
few coaches active coaches left in college football that's amassed
(10:15):
over a hundred wins at that specific school. There's not
many guys who've got that title, who are active head
coaches that have done that. It's him, UM coach Whittingham,
there a Utah. I'm trying to think of some of
the others off top of my head, but like it's tough, man, Like,
there's not many active coaches who have won a hundred
games at their school, and he's in that category. He's
(10:37):
been there seventeen years and that's pretty much been where
he's coached, So God bless. I mean, I'll give him this.
I mean, at least he has the resume and has
the time invested to have an opinion about it. You know,
whether it's whether it's delusional or not, whether it is
founded or not, you still gotta respect it. I can't
(11:00):
even imagine what type of relationships he has within the
Oklahoma state, Uh, the faithful. I mean, that's a long time.
It's just kind of you don't see that anymore. I'm
I'm sitting there. I was like, I was looking it up,
like to be like, you know, you'll you'll coach at three, four,
(11:21):
five more schools before you're done. Like, who, why do
you care so much about Bedlam? But you know what,
he's got a little bit of time invested in in
that that that matchup. So I'm not going giving too
much of a hard time because I respect that I
respect longevity, I respect loyalty, UM to your job. So
you know I'm not gonna hate on him. He played there, right,
(11:44):
he played at Olahoma State, so he understands the rivalry
from every perspective. And it's it's one of the things
where I think it hurts him, UM just to see
the state of college football with where it's at. Like
I think he's put so much time, effort, blood, sweat
and tears into that team, UH, into that program at
university that I think he looks at and says like,
(12:05):
I can't believe that we could get left out on
the outside looking in with all the movement and where
things are going right now. And that's probably how it
feels if you're not a part of the Big tenor
of the SEC right now. Like if you don't, if
you're not getting teams coming to your conference, it's probably
a bad sign. And so that's why I think when
I said earlier about the Big Twelve, they've got some
(12:26):
hope because they do have teams who are are wanting
to come to their conference like you do have UCF
in Houston and b y U and Cincinnati and and
and you to look say what you want about the
size of those schools of regards to their following, but um,
there are rather large instance institutions. On top of that.
You're talking about big markets, and that's the other thing,
(12:48):
and that whole equation is like, whether it matters or not,
you're still occupying them big twelve footprint some of those
bigger TV markets where those schools reside. It's two Pros
and a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington,
Brady Quinn, Jonas Knocks, brought to you by Discover. We

All right, it's coming up next. We're going to get
the very latest from some news and notes around the NFL. Plus,
are we going to see another big time contract extension
for a quarterback in the a f C. We'll get
to the bottom of that coming up. From next year
(13:31):
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 Eastern,
three am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I
Heart Radio. Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Here
on Fox Sports Radio. A little over twenty minutes from now,
it's the return of the b Q News a one
(13:52):
day hiatus, but it is back. The most trusted news
source and all the land is back a little over
twenty minutes from now. Right now, though, we turn it
over to Albert Brier, senior NFL reporter at the MMQB Yeah,
I mean, but I'm talking like news, like sports news,
NFL news. It's Albert Brier on Twitter at Albert Bues
News is by the b Q. Al what's happening. How's
(14:17):
your Thursday? I'm good, I'm good. How you guys doing?
I No, no, no, it's it's actually after you. Yeah, Albert, Okay, okay, yeah,
we've only been a part of this show now for
its entire existence. But that's right, and you're not going
to rundown and no offense. Brady did make sure and
(14:38):
he said this specifically Alberts on the undercard to the
b Q News, not vice versa. So that's why we
finished the b Q news. I actually would never say
that Albert um Jonas just tries to hype up the
news segment most of you because the first news um
this week will or excuse me today will be coming
from him. Since he said it he really wants to
get It's that I have no interest whatsoever and trying
(15:02):
to groove it my way. But since we're gonna do
what we're gonna do it. Um. So, the Lamar Jackson
contract situation with the Ravens, um, he's you know, tried
to calm everybody down this week and said, you know,
we're having discussions. It's not what a lot of people
are making it out to be. From people you've talked to,
how close are they to getting a deal done? And
(15:23):
what has been taken so long? I mean, I think
what's taken so long is Lamar has desired to do
a deal, and I can't tell you specifically what his
strategy has been. UM. You know, I like I think
it actually if it was to wait till at the
market escalates, and it really worked because if you look
at like the number of quarterbacks that were over forty
(15:43):
a year back in February versus where we are now. Um,
you know, there's no question it's standard now for for
for a top I think at forty million dollars a year. Um,
you know, really, I think the reason why you haven't
heard the blow by blow that you often do in
these sort of cases is the Ravens have a real
understanding of how important trust is to Lamar. And because
(16:07):
this is a different creation where an agent isn't involved, Uh,
they know that any sort of public posturing here could
poison the well. And so I think, you know, where
like in a normal contract negotiation, might be hearing about
momentum going this layer that way, and they're back and
forth and they're not going to get a deal. They're
going to get a deal, you know, in this case,
(16:29):
you know, because there's not an agent involved in the
player's side, and because the team knows that making anything
public could be problematic. I think there's been kind of
this small circle cap. There aren't very many people involved,
and that's why it's hard to really engage where this
thing is. I said, I do know what the Ravens
think of Lamar, and I assume they try to get
(16:50):
something done with you know, the one complicated factor being, um,
you know the deal that Deshaun Watson did and whether
or not you know Lamar Draws are very hard line
and getting a fully guaranteed contract. We saw Steve Shotti's
comments on that obviously earlier in the offseason, and he
was one of the few owners that was vocal about
what the Browns did. Oh do they say? Did they
(17:11):
do something bad? Is that? Was that not what what
most of us wanted out? Well, I would say I
would say it was pretty I would say, like the
other owners, it was probably. I mean, I guess the
pactors don't have an owners would be thirty of thirty
right like would probably agree. It's just not very many
many of them actually came out and said something. And
the Ravens owner happened to say something about it. Yeah,
(17:34):
well that's unfortunate. Um, I don't want to ask you
about Deshaun Watson because I know at some point, um,
you know, Jonas, he's looking for an update, like he
wants this news store to keep going, don't. It can't
end soon enough for me, Albert. But every every day
Jonas has to talk about at some point at the NBA,
(17:56):
what do you want? I mean, you call it the
NBA is not even playing right now. Well, I'm just saying,
like that's the only thing out there. So we got
t Sean or we got Adam Silver, can I ask?
I mean, it's a lot easier to sort through what's
going on with the Sean than it is like the
trade demands, right Like one day guy's demanding a trade,
the next day he's not. Then, I mean, now Kyrie
doesn't want to play with with Durrant anymore, right, Like
(18:17):
I I can't keep track of the way all of
that's going. So it seems like there's more developments there. Well,
and maybe they're more complicated. Albert is a really easy
way to summarize it, and you just say, who cares? Um?
So I do want to ask you this question. Were
in regards to what's going to happen with the punishment
(18:39):
to Deshaun Watson. I feel like we've kind of been
flip flopping all over the place, which is ironic that
I said that, Sean. I mean, it's been a four
year suspension too. Now it feels like it's not going
to be a full year suspension. Um. Suell Robinson's gonna
take even longer to make sure she looks over everything,
We're probably not gonna get a decision until right before
(19:00):
trading camp. Um, where do you where do you stand
right now? Like what is your best guess as to
when we'll find out about the punishment and how long
it will actually be? Yeah, I mean, I like this
is gonna sound like a cop out, but I think
because we don't have any track record on Suell Robinson Um,
and because she's comes from outside the NFL sphere, it
(19:20):
makes this like unpredictable. And so you know, I think
these ideas of a Friday Who's dump for um or
like hawking, it's done right before training camp unless there's
a negotiated settlement, and it's really it is sue Robinson Um,
you know, putting down a decision. Um. You know, I
don't know that we can even use like the normal
calendar that we would with these sorts of decisions, you know.
(19:43):
So I would say the one that the tea leaves
that you can read here are really based on the
comfort level of the two sides. And the reason why
Brady I think We've done from it looking like a
year to maybe it looking like less than that is
because right now the NFL looks a little less comfortable
Deshaun Watson's side does with where the hearing went. Um And,
(20:04):
I think I said this to you guys over the
last couple of weeks. But the one thing I do
know is that Robinson wasn't happy that, you know, so
much of the NFL's position became public. And I know
the way the NFL operates, I know how savvy they
are when it comes to pr and I know that
they feel like they can't look like they're soft on
crime on this sort of thing, you know what I mean,
(20:25):
like whether the guy's guilty or not, whatever, you know, whatever,
that the details are, what happened and everything else. The
NFL knows they can't come down on something like this
and look like they're being soft on it. And so
if the NFL was totally comfortable that that that Sue
Robinson was gonna rule in their favor, I think they
wouldn't do anything to rock the boat in this case.
(20:46):
It looks like they're getting their position out there, maybe
because they're a little less comfortable with those things going
away that that they hoped it would. Um And I
think some of the details of the case to work
in Deshaun's favor as well. Um, include, and this isn't
limited to this, but I think it's a big one.
Is the fact that the NFL only brought the cases
(21:06):
of five women and only spoke to four of those
women out of the sixty six that the Sean allegedly
reached out over the year and a half period. Is
that their own like inability to actually get more out
of those women is that they're the lack of resources
is I mean, what do you draw conclusion to Because
I I see that, I go, like my conspiracy mind
(21:27):
goes off, and I go, well, maybe the NFL really
doesn't want one of their stars at quarterback to not
play for an entire season, so maybe they're not putting
forth the best case. Here's where I think it is, Brady.
Um And I wouldn't totally dismiss any conspiracy when it
comes to this stuff, but I like my feeling on
it is that like the low numbers indicative of how
(21:48):
different each case is, you know, and um, you know
the twenty four lawsuits of the sixties, six different women. Um,
you know. I I think looking at this as like
a black and white thing, and looking at this is
like a straight line pattern by de Shaun Watson would
be a mistake. UM. I don't think every single accusation
is the same. I don't think every woman is the same. UM.
(22:10):
And I think that that's one thing that maybe the
general public has missed here, UM, in the strength of
each case, you know, the strength of each cases. I
think there's differences in the strength of each case. So UM,
I think that's a huge part of it, you know,
is that this is way more complicated than a lot
of people in the general public realize. And each of
these individual cases is different than the next one. And
(22:32):
so if the NFL is trying to establish a pattern,
maybe there are fewer of these cases than those big,
raw numbers that we've all heard that can actually be
used to establish that pattern. Maybe let's stay in this
realm of mindset of conversation, but let's just switch teams
and switch position from from quarterback to owner. UM. Not
(22:56):
a good look to be avoiding subpoena power, UM. In
in terms of doing an interview, that could really in
a lot of ways help you to move forward, UM
and get past everything that has been a part of
what's going on right now. UM connected to you. But
(23:20):
that's not the approach Dan Snyder is taking in terms
of with his his business and with his franchise. From
your from the circles you're in and the things you're hearing,
what are the latest like developments, I mean, concerns have
to be mounting in terms of the way he's handling things. Yeah,
(23:42):
I mean, LaVar, I can tell you, and I think
that there are other owners that aren't happy with the
way this is gone. Um And I don't know if
they're furious over it, but I mean this has gone
on for so long now and it's almost like, I mean,
the whole thing him like you know, being up there
in the on the open seas so they can't serve
(24:03):
him as subpoena. I mean, it's just like it makes
everybody look ad you know. And when the NFL had
like I mean, it's unbelievable, is yeah, like cat like
Captain Dan in the French River year like you can't
get honestly, it's like it sounds made up when you
(24:24):
hear the story. Um, you know, And I think like
for the other owners that the problem here is that
but there have been like this isn't the only like
accusation these are the only accusations of workplace misconduct that
the NFL has had to battle, right like over the
last ten years. And so if you look at those
sorts of things, I think there are other owners that
(24:46):
are that him acting this way is going to get
them all up together, and not every owner is this way,
you know, and so um, you know, I I would
say that like there's I think just gonna continue to
be russure put on Dan Snyder by other owners to
sell the team, whether or not they can push him
(25:07):
to that breaking point. Um, I don't know. He's started
pretty high tolerance for for stuff coming out on him
and refute team m But you know, I think for
right now, like I wouldn't surprise me if we start
to hear more things come out about the operations of
that team over the next five or six months and
(25:28):
in an effort to maybe try to turn the heat
up on him and see if there's a way they
can get him to sell the team voluntarily. I don't
think that they want to get to the point where
they have to vote him out, and we've talked about
that over the last few months, Like they don't want
to set that precedent. They don't want people digging through
their own trash all that stuff. Um, And I don't
know if they'd eventually get to that point, but you know,
it wouldn't surprise me at all. Though. If we start
(25:50):
to hear more see more about what's happened in Washington
the last twenty years that comes out, you know, it's
maybe an effort from either the league or other owners
to try to pressure Dan Snyder to sell the team.
Is a dance Snyder Dad has that trash of the
other owners, I mean, And that's another part of it, right,
Like I guess that's the other bolevard, that's the other
(26:11):
movie element of this, right, Like it's like, I mean,
everybody's dirty laundry could get air if that happening, you know. So,
I mean like you guys know things about each other,
you know, So, how do they know so much about
each other just because they hang out in forty with
each other? Or it's like, I mean, I mean they
all know how, they all know how how each other's
businesses work, you know what I mean, they've traded notes,
(26:34):
they know, you know what I mean. Like there and
I'm not saying they know everything about each other, but
they know more than the general public knows about each other. Um,
And I can tell you that because I've I've heard stories,
you know, like, so I would say, I would say,
I would say there's definitely some risk, because there's definitely
some risk there. And God, now you guys are gonna
ask me to tell those stories live here in the
(26:56):
right I'm not going to do that, but to do
that now. But but but but but but I mean,
like you know, like there's definitely there's definitely things out
there that could get other owners in trouble. And like
I would think that would you know, absolutely, Bar that
would be that'd be a factor for other guys. Yeah, No,
it definitely wouldn't do that. Albert brierre joining us here
on Fox Sports Radio, So, what are some of those
(27:16):
stories you've heard about other owners in the NFL? That
was that was a smooth transition, trying our best. Um.
We asked this question earlier this week because it was
kind of related to Jimmy Garoppolos on his way out
and Trey Lance is you know, going to be the
starter moving forward apparently in San Francisco, And we asked,
(27:37):
what's more likely that San Francisco wins the division or
they finished dead last. What would your pick be? It's
more likely they win the division. I mean I I
just think Seattle's rebuilding, um like Ari Arizona will see,
there's a lot going on there. Um, So I think
(27:59):
there's a good chance they finished second. And then the
question is can they feed out the Rams? Well? And
the Rams are great and they've you know, like they've
proved a lot over the last five years. My question
with the Rams is always they have have they had
that year where they have like a couple of key
injuries where you know, like I mean the roster has
(28:19):
been sort of top heavy, you know, so if they
lost Aaron Donald for the year, like like could you
see Sam rans is going in the division? Then And
I'm not hoping this on anybody, obviously, I'm not for
taking anything happening, but like you know, the NFL like
things moved that way sometimes, you know. So I feel
like right now San Francisco is closer to the top
and they were at the bottom. People forget they were
(28:39):
in the NFC title Game last year and the Super
Bowl two years ago or three years ago. Um, and
you know, I just I just works the wrong way
for the Rams. And I think you can come up
with a pretty easy scenario or the Niners, um, you know,
steal the division. You know. The other end of it
would be, is Seattle a lot better than we think
(29:00):
they are. And if Seattle's not better than a four
or five win team, Samerson is going to be that bad. Like,
I just don't see it. You're you're betting on Trey
Lance really showing out right, I mean yeah, But I'm
also though, I mean, like, look like, but here's the thing.
Bright He is like so like Robert Griffin in Washington, right, like,
(29:23):
like so much that was Kyle, right like, so much
of that Robert Griffin's rookie year in Washington was what
Kyle did to accommodate him and highlight what he does
really well. Now, like is what they did with RG
three sustainable? Maybe not, but he did it for a year.
But are you telling me? Are you telling me? Yeah,
Trey Lance is not Robert Griffin. He didn't win, He's
(29:46):
not he wasn't a potential track star like running the ball, Like,
I I don't know that they're the same. I'm I'm
not saying like and I'm not saying he's gonna turn
tray Lance into a supernova. But I think at the
very least, like we've we've we've seen Kyle make it
work with different types of quarterbacks, right Like over the years,
we've seen like Kyle is smart enough to make it work.
(30:10):
So can you turn them into Robert Griffin in two
thousand and twelve? Yeah, probably not, you know, but can
he make him a really competent quarterback and a threat
um for a team that's gonna be really really good
around him? I don't see why not. I mean, if
they get Debo back and and that's still you know,
up in the air. But you know, now you've got Debo,
I you kittle um that offensive line, you know, and
(30:32):
and then you know guys like Nick Posts on defense.
Eric Arms said, like that's Fred Warner, Like that's a
really good team. Where I I just have to think
Kyle can make it work for the quarterback with the
pieces he has around him. It's Albert Brier. Get him
on Twitter at Albert Brier, Senior NFL reporter at the
mm QB. Good buddy of the show here and we
(30:55):
are fired up. Football's right around the corner. When do
you start making plans for your training camp tour. What
does that happened? I think, I think I'm on the
so am I going to a concert next weekend at
regularly was like college friends. And then after that, you
seeing we're going to see Chris Stapleton, like a couple
of my voice of an angel. God, he's got a
great voice. Yeah, so like all of my buddies organized it.
(31:17):
So we're going there and I get back like that Sunday,
which I think is the twenty five, and then I'm
on the road and the twenty six, so I go
from there back to Boston. Then the next morning, I
think I'm gonna flight the Buffalo. I love Chris Stapleton. Stapleton,
he's good. You Are you going to wear an Ohio
T shirt, shave off and die your grays and where
(31:37):
No no, no, no no no, I'm going incognito to
regul Jane shorts? Are you wearing Jeane shorts? I that's
actually not a bad idea. How to consider that's supposed
to shorts? You can't wear shorts? You know they judge
George a man who's comfortable with himself. There's where's George?
(32:00):
I wear them all the time. That's why I was
asking I think it's unum Albert. We'll have a good weekend.
We will do it again next week. Hope we will
have some news on Deshaun Watson. We could put a
bow on all that. Huh, all right, have a great weekend.
There is a but here. Hey, I know we're up

people who I think wouldever be critical of Chris Stapleton's voice.
(34:56):
Why somebody's gonna get sensitive about that? Jokes everybody. I
didn't like the song when I first heard it, and
then what happed like it? At first? Then you had
something happened in your life and you were sipping on
maybe a little whiskey, maybe to the drink, listen to
the song. You go wait a second, all right, now,
I get it. The people around me love the song
so much that I had to adjust and adapt to
(35:19):
being able to listen to it. And then I actually
listened to it, and that kind of it grew on me.

Let's go to the news desk. Here's Brady. Uh yeah,
hear us. Get this one out of the way, since
you really want me to read this one. A man
was arrested for for slang a fisherman out of fear
(36:26):
that he was going to be eaten by bigfoot. I mean, listen,
that's plausible, all right. I don't know if anybody's ever
been to appear or something like that, or you know,
deep sea fishing and an ocean. I think it's very
possible that you would accidentally harm or kill somebody because
(36:47):
you thought Bigfoot was coming fishing. That really wouldn't make
any sense for not any at all, abominable snowman. Uh
you know, Okay, well listen, I mean, how do you
know you when he gets big foot X? You know, forest,
wooded areas probably I've seen the weird photos. Okay, but
(37:07):
there's usually a lake nearby, or somebody of water near by,
a creek more like Bigfoot can't swim? Is that what
you're saying? No, he runs through the water. Never seen
him swim, no pictures. Alright, alright, story. Yeah, I don't
know why Brady was trying to shoehorn it in. I
(37:29):
just he's going to jail a boy the way they
the guy who killed the fisherman. What do you think
it's defense lawyer is gonna sanity? Yeah? All right, well,
hey listen, I don't I don't know why LaVar wanted
that story red the Rhode Island State Senator. I'm sure
(37:54):
you guys saw this. Uh twenty eight year old Tiara
Mack while she got in a little bit of trouble
She actually was temporary suspended from TikTok because she was
chalking on an eight second video that apparently people took
issue with. It has gone viral. I would say this one,
I didn't know that. You know, she was obviously a
(38:16):
congress woman before this. Now I do so, I guess
the tactic probably, but she she received a little bit
of hatred. Obviously TikTok thought it was a little bit
too much. But yeah, I mean it's a great balance.
Um you know, legs, legs all the way up. Yeah,
(38:38):
it's uh, that's something. Um Man, it's just like like
someone who's is like, all right, this was cool, get
viral or is it more of just I don't know,
maybe that's in the state of politics, alright, just think
it's the sign of the time. Now at Rhode Island,
