Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's the way tire buying should be welcome in. Listen.
A lot of discussion, a lot of discussion about uh
Brandon Ayuk and potential deals being on the table for
(00:49):
him and general structure of deals, et cetera, et cetera,
et cetera. All right, and how does that read to
most people? Does that mean that they're trying to trade him? No,
it means they don't want to trade him. But like, look,
if your best options are not in DC, right, your
(01:11):
met options are not in DC where he wants to be,
and instead it's Cleveland where you have a fading quarterback
who does not appear to be nearly as good as
he was several years ago. Or New England, who's devoid
of wide receivers, but also a lot of questions about
quarterback and about offense in general. It's just like one
(01:32):
of those threats, and this is a real thing. You
can go to those teams. You could be the man.
You could potentially make somewhere near the core the money
you want to make.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
But what you're going to give up is.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
A chance to play in the super Bowl at San
Francisco forty nine ers. That's what it feels like. That's
where it feels the Niners are as a team. Hey man, look,
if you really really want to get out of here,
here are the teams that are viable options for you.
Of those teams, just you might want to note a
(02:06):
note to self, Hey, we're not going to a super
Bowl with any of these teams. And then it's as
much as you say that sounds great, I'd like to
do it. I want out of here. Trade me right now.
I want to get the money that I deserve. That's
not how it always works, right. Yes, you can get
the money, but it might be not be in a
(02:26):
team that you want Hey, I want to play for
this team. Well, that team's like, well, then we're not
really interested at the price that he wants to pay
that he wants us to pay. So I get again,
if it's me, I stay on a winner. As long
as I can remember, he's in the last year of
his contract. Barring injury, he's going to get a new deal.
(02:47):
In terms of will that deal get anywhere near the
money that he wants, apparently not unless he's going to
go on a lower level team or a team that's
not competitive to play for a super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
So that's it's it's.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Fascinating to me, what happens. What would you choose? Ilo,
I give you a choice. You can either play with Hey,
you can either play with San Francisco forty nine Ers
on your current deal and then explore free agency options
or a franchise tag after the season's over, or.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Or I have to.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I have to go to it inferior your team that
we don't really know who the quarterback is going to
be or what it's actually gonna be.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Like eleven times out of ten, I'm staying with the
forty nine ers.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Do go ahead. I'm sorry, Illo, No, I mean.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
I think if you stay with the forty nine ers,
you can have your cake and eat it too. You
get another shot at a championship. Because these situations always
work out better for the team than the disgruntled departing star.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
No question.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Look the parting farmer star. I mean, look, we saw
Tyreek Hill. Things have worked out really well financially for him.
The team has gone on to win two Super Bowls
without him, right, So in that case, you're right, it
doesn't always work that way. You know, the Vikings had
a super talented wide receiver, they traded him and got
Justin Jefferson and instead now they've locked in on Justin
(04:31):
Jefferson to be their guy in perpetuity.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I remember Steve Smith of the Carolina Panthers was trade away.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Did they go to the Super Bowl after Steve Smith
or with Steve Smith? Can't remember that one. But we
have seen this before.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
We have seen teams get rid of or get rid
of a guy who wanted a bunch of money and
end up going to the Super Bowl without him. The
difference is the timing. It is really crumbing and for
him it's yeah, it's a it's going to be a sacrifice.
The sacrifice is super simple. Sacrifice is you'll make more money.
(05:11):
You'll make the money or close to the money you want,
but what you get back and return is a chance
to pay for Super Bowl. And everybody says, hey, I'm
a professional, I just want to make money.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
If you're a competitive dude, you.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Don't want to play in a team that's going to
get mollywammed. And the Patriots are going to get mollywomped,
and the Browns are going to get mollywammed, and the
Niners do the mollywamping.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
That's a powerful thing.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Now, it stands the reason that he wants to go
to Washington, and Washington's not gonna be great. But what
makes up for it is that's his home area. That's
his boy who's the quarterback. But if you think winning
doesn't matter to all these guys and it's just simply
about money, I give you DeVante Adams, right, all he's
ever want to do is be a raider.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
And he was like, yeah, I don't know about this stuff.
This is not fun.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
The city you want to be in, play for the
franchise you want to playing. You make all the money
you want, but if you're losing it just sucks.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
It just sucks. All we got a good hour for you.

the way, it's forty two thirty four with four to
oh three remaining in the second quarter. Second quarter has
(06:37):
been played at a much slower pace than the first quarter.
I don't know what they're arguing back and forth. They're
going to the monitor here. Jolenbid looked really good in
the first quarter. Second quarter not as much. But part
of it is Steph Kerry keeps turning the ball over
writing time he's double teamed on a ball Streen. So
I actually think this was one where Joel Embiid was
playing really well and they went to their bench and
(06:58):
oversubbed and sub team USA out of their rhythm.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And you can do that.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That's a hard one when you're coaching, you know, It's
like the old adage in baseball is you never square
up screw up a winning streak. In basketball, you never
screw up. Positive momentum. Positive momentum. H remember when Brazil
was good? It was a short little window there. Not
(07:26):
right now, but still forty two thirty four.

buying should be. I believe we got a chance to
(08:46):
play less, acts the coach. There's a question that needs
an answer, and the answer is.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
If only there was someone with the authority and the
wisdom to give us that answer.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I'm the head coach. I get to set skeed.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Hold on. Let's ask the coach.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
I think what sells that stage? Or is the referee whistle?
Hold on? And then the referee whistle? Everyone knows that
it's you know this is going to be a coaching
hold on?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Hold on? Yeah, we got it, we got yeah. Hold up.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
This submitted on Twitter coach, not only did Gobert, Rudy
Gobert not start today, Uh, he wasn't even the choice
for backup center as Lazore played one quarter minutes over
him reminds me of one that t Wolves decided to
close with Towns read over him feels like, for whatever reason,
(09:43):
he always finds himself in this situation. Now, Doug, I
will add this, I think Gobert is dealing with a
finger injury. Not sure what finger or what kind of
an injury, but I think that might.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, he had a broken finger, just located finger or whatever.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
He barely played and.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
So I but maybe the essence of the question is
still legit. Doesn't Gobert find himself in these situations where
he's not on the floor and important minutes of NBA
games and international games.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Does have a tendency to happen to him?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yes, because he he he well as good as he
is defensively and really good defensively in FOBA competition. He
can't score in a low post and he can't shoot.
So if you can score in a low post in FOBA,
you're a lot more valuable than you are in the
NBA or in the NBA. You gotta be able to
(10:39):
roll or pick and pop, so he can he can do.
He doesn't really help you offensively at all in Phoeba
stole basketball.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Get another question, Hi, will you go on?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I do all right, coach? I want you to explain
your kay. Dear coach, I want you to explain your
philosophy of dealing with the refs when the season starts
this fall.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Mm hmm. Dealing with them now.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Getting the getting the most favorable success in terms of
you know, you know what do you get on them?
Do you not get on them? Just the way you
I guess, advocate for the best possible treatment of your
team by the refs.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Green Bay is gonna have a good team this year, right.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I thank you, thank you. I appreciate that. I agree
with that.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Well.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
My first rule is for the bye language of our
players to be excellent.
Speaker 8 (11:41):
Right.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
We need big time by language.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
If we don't have the right by language, it doesn't
really matter, right. So by language is huge, huge, And
then for me, I just think, you know, it's trying
not to show anybody up, try not to embary them.
I'm sure I'll have there'll be some guys that will
come in and want to make a name for themselves
(12:05):
by you know, seeing if they can team me up
or something. I don't know, like have I been tough
on revs? Sure most of those guys are refs at
at higher level than the I don't necessarily know a
bunch of these guys, And I just I feel like
you set a presence of not being a complainer and
simply having conversations with the refs. But like, look, man,
(12:26):
I dealt with AAE rest the last eight years. Okay,
those are guys making fifteen twenty a game. So I
think the current guys that will be officiating college games
will be a lot better off and I'll have a
lot more patience with them.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I like it, Yeah, sure, so like it.
Speaker 9 (12:44):
I have question, Doug Jimmy, you, being a former player,
a college basketball player, how do you what do you
tell your players in terms of nutrition and diet and
like especially date game day, day of the game, before
the game, pregame meals, but like just in general to
avoid this or eat that.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
What do you what do you tell you guys?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
You can't, you can't micro manage everybody. You do have
pregame meal. And what I've been solely but truly trying
to preach to these guys is the need to get
away from carplex complex carbs. You know, obviously none of them,
none of them drink soda anyway, but you know, drinking
a ton of water, and then you know supplements, and
then day of games again, you know you're you're eating
(13:28):
some normal you know, some carbs with vegtfruits and vegetables,
but I don't believe in like rice or or any
sort of pasta in the pre pregame meal. So whatever
your natural routine is, I want you to keep it.
The one thing that we'll do that's different, and this
doesn't have pertain to eating, is we'll practice twice a
day on most days, you know, got more an hour
in the morning, you know, more skill based and kind
(13:49):
of maybe walk through some different things, and then the
evening when we practice it'll be just five on five. Anyway,
that'll I think more closely mirror what we do in
game days where we have like an active I don't
like to call it a walk through, it's a workout
in the morning, and then we come back and we
play at night. So, uh, the eating will be the
same there, the rhythm of it will be the same.
(14:12):
The only difference is the length of the night sessions
a little bit longer because it's a real game.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
What about halftime? How do you how do you dictate the.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Rotate orange slices? Orange slices?
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Do you do the mom's the mothers of the players.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Question?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Well, you got to know which team mom brings the
good juice boxes and which team mom doesn't.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Who's bringing the Caprice.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Totally right, Capri Son Sunny d. Then you got to
have like fruit roll ups. You would believe what kids
have now with these like post game things. They get
like a little brown baggy with candy and stuff.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
They're coming industry. It's it's become a niche industry. It's
become a how can I one up the other parents?
It's it's parents showing off is what it is.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah, well it's I I think where it started to
be honest, was the the party party gift, party favors,
party favors.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, We're like we're having a little We're having a
birthday party for a little Jimmy swag bag. Right, We're
having a birthday party for little Jimmy. So you bring
a president for little Jimmy, and I have to give
you a present for coming to my kid's birthday party.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Does anybody else find flaw with that?
Speaker 7 (15:24):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (15:24):
I grew up with this rule. And you can go
to stores like Party City and find just an entire
wall of party favors and it's pretty cool. Not gonna lie,
I grew up with the party favorite bag.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Because you grew up in the party, you grew up
in the party favorite generation.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yep, you did party any more? Any more questions for coach.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
I just need add some commentary. So I grew up
playing soccer in the wait seventies and our coach used
to take me to games in his pickup truck that
I used to ride in the back of the pickup
truck with no seat belts, and we would if we
if we did get water at the games, it would
be the host. Every once in a while there would
(16:06):
be a parent that would bring the uh the after
the game. But when I started coaching my kid, I
noticed that all teams had a mandatory rotation of postgame
treats and they were susceptible to be judged.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
There were those.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Lazy parents that would be like, I'm just going to
order a pizza mid game and hopefully it'll be here
by the end of the game. But it's it's a
fascinating thing to think about.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
What a racket I I think it's really interesting that
a couple of different things here. Right, You you grew
up in that same same time zone when I did. Yeah,
in terms of the soccer thing, it has become a
complete and total racket, right, And also did you. I'm
(16:56):
sure same. You grew up, you ran underneath the tunnel
where all the parents have the tunnel. You grew up,
and you run out the tunnel, Oh, the tunnel, and
you get the victory tunnel on the and and even
if you lose, you go through the tunnel after. Kids
look more forward to the tunnel when they do the
actual sport.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
I didn't have the tunnel. Is that where the parents
make a tunnel? Will they get their arms?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I never did that.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
No, I never did that.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Never did that.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
No, I don't know. I think he's just old, too
old for that.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
We would have had that when I was a kid.
Some of the parents would have smacked me as I
ran by for all the mistakes I used to make.
By the way, do people just ever go to Dairy
Queen after games anymore? Or has that been lost to history?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I thought it was. I thought it was Shaky's Pizza.
Wasn't that what you did?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Shaky's round table? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
I think too many people over the years were sued.
If you tried to organize something like that and some
got hurt on the way, then they get they get
the lawsuit. Something something happened to those post game get
togethers unless sure shame.
Speaker 9 (17:52):
I remember my baseball coach, like when I played, you know,
T ball or little league baseball, if we played really
well and got the win, we'd each get a slice
of pizza and a Annesota.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
That was like what we look forward to.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I remember my dad used to Uh, we'd always I'd
go to the pizza parties after games whatever. And the
big thing with the pizza parties after the games, though,
were the begging for the quarters for the video games, right,
and then you just stand there playing Galiga. Back there,
somebody else is playing Miss pac Man. And then they
put the they put the game on and this is
more a tackle football. They put the game on the
(18:24):
big screen. But the big screen had the three different lights. Yeah,
the three there was like red, green, and blue, and
there's these three big lights that went up on the
projector big screen. And nobody paid attention to the game
because all you were doing was begging for quarters and
putting your quarter on a machine because you were up next.
Because it was the closest you can get to go
(18:46):
into a real arcade, was going to the pizza places arcade.
This what was like, Sam, this is the real hard
knocks that we grew up in right. Somehow we made it.
We survived, We did, we survived.
Speaker 9 (18:59):
I think I'm closer to like your guys's experiences in
your generation than I am too like the kids who
are seventeen eighteen years old and what they experience.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Let's look, go, man, he's t J.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Hutchman's out from a pro bowler with the CINCINNTI Bengals,
of course, longtime friend of the show and a wide receiver,
savant rand and ayuk. What's your evaluation of how good
he actually is, how good.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
He actually is? Well, I mean, just watch the film.
It speaks for itself. Minimal targets and he bought out.
It sucks, man, that it's come to this like that.
That's the part that I'm sure the Niners they don't
want this. NBA doesn't want this. But as far as
a player, if you give him targets, he's going to
(19:49):
lead the league. He's that talented. He's quick, he's fast,
he can run routes. I hope they're able to figure
something out with San Francisco. I thought they were getting
really closed. I thought a deal would be announced actually
by yesterday. So to hear that now they've given them
permission to seek a trade and they've kind of work
(20:09):
the parameters of a trade. Is surprising, but I hope
they can come to agreement because the Niners are the
favorite coming out the NFC without iuke that changes.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It's really interesting that this has played out so publicly.
Can you remember as something like this playing out publicly
in the past where being leaked out. There's a couple
of teams that have kind of things sort of said
in order, but no deal being made as of yet.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
It's, you know, behind the scenes, they tried to, you know,
figure something out, and so it's somebody's trying to put
pressure on the other party, whether it's the Niners trying
to put pressure on Baba trying to put pressure on
a Niner. Somebody's applying pressure to try to get this
thing handled.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
They want the situation to be handled.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
But yeah, it's like, just pay me what the going
rate is, Like, why should I take a discount? Y'all
want me to take a discount because we have all
these good players.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
That ain't my problem.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
And the Niners are saying, oh, we have all these
good players, you have a chance to win. Take a discount,
and so it's a people start the league things because
they feel the pressure of, oh, how the fans are
going to react to the Niners and how the fans
are going to react to ba Man. I wish this
type of stuff would stay private, but in this day
and age of social media, you tell one person, you
(21:30):
never know what's gonna happen after you do that.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
What do you think of the money to a got.
Speaker 8 (21:38):
I thought it was I thought I probably would have
liked it to have been around fifty, which is still
a lot. You know, Tour gets a lot of flack
of oh what he isn't and what he isn't. Let's
talk about what he is. He throws the football with
actress and he led the NFL and passing yards Yeah yeah,
Jayleen Waddow and Tyreek Hills. So what if I'm the
quarterback of the Dolphins. I'm not going to lead the
(21:59):
league at past so somebody has to throw the ball
to him. Sua is going to have to justify that
by playing better late in the season.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
He was awful.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
He was awful down stretching, He was awful in the playoffs.
He knows that I believe he can and will be better.
But when you have a quarterback that leaves the NFL
than passing yards, he deserves to be compensated. And again,
fifty three point one, I probably would have preferred to
be at riding around fifty, but I'm not going to
complain about that because I think Sua is a good quarterback.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Stuck Gotleib show here on Fox Sports Trada. That's the
voice of TJ. Huschman Zada. What is I'm interested in
the Bengals, you know, the t Higgins thing, the Jamar
Chase saying, we know they've been accused rightfully, so even
going back to when you play to being cheap, usually
they paid their own. Guys, what are your thoughts on
(22:49):
how Mike Brown and the Bengals are handling all this.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
I don't like it, Doug. I really don't, man. But
one thing that I do know about the Bengals in
Mike Brown, They're gonna pay the quarterback and they gonna
pay their number one receiver. So Jamar Chases don't get
his money. It's just a matter of win. He's gonna
get it. That's what the Bengals do. They'll pay the
quarterback and they'll pay their number one receiver now the
number two like T Higgins or whomever else. They'll just
(23:13):
continue to draft a guy to be that guy instead
of paying of T Higgins. But Jamar's gonna get his money.
What I would like to see is just pay him now,
because the longer you wait, the more you gonna play.
So I don't understand that, but he's gonna get his money.
It's just a matter of when. The Bengals have always
(23:34):
operated this way. I just hope that it doesn't rub
him the wrong way. I'm talking Jamar Chase, it doesn't piss.
Speaker 7 (23:41):
Him all.
Speaker 8 (23:43):
Because if it does, then it can start to be
a problem in the locker room and amongst the team.
I don't believe that will be the case, but it's possible.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
It's Stug Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Rady, that's
the voice of TJ. Hushman Zada. All right, now, the
Cowboys with CD Lamb and their issues.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
When you say CD Lamb, you might as well throw
in dak Ad Mike at that in that equation. It's
the same thing that I just said with the Bengalis.
Jerry Jones, you knew last year before the season started,
a CD Lamb was going to be a part of
your future. Lock them up, sign them to an extension,
because had you signed Ceede Lamb to an extension last year,
(24:25):
you probably could have given me twenty seven million a year.
If you want to signed him to an extension before,
justin Jefferson, you probably could.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Have given me thirty one thirty two.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Now you're going to give me more than that. Did
you not learn your lesson with the Dak Prescott negotiations
years ago? You could have signed them from thirty thirty
one thirty two thirty three. You end up giving them
forty a year. And so the Cowboys are under pretty
commitment because you have CD Lamb who wants to get
paid to be one of the highest paid receivers and
he's earned that, and you have Dak Prescott that wants
(24:58):
to get paid. You have Michael person that wants to
get paid.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
You got to start paying these dudes to early when
they're a part of your love term. Dute, I don't
know why these teams do it, but they need to
figure something out with cd am or the Cowboys will
be in big trouble.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
He's two.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
J Uchman's out of course, co hosts of Up on Game,
which you can hear in radio form and podcast form.

on the Doug Gottlieb Show of course up on Game
as Lebar Arrington and Plexica Burst as well. It's available

have a great day?
Speaker 8 (25:33):
Hey, I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Man, that's my guy. Tjsman's out of joining us in
the Doug Gottlieb Show. Here on Fox Sports Radio. We're
at sixty six thirty eight, just getting started here in
the third quarter with tm USA commanding lead. On Brazil,
I would say the only thing that's super interesting is
Jille Embiid's played.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Well, that's it.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I got nothing else for you that's interesting about this game.
I mean, Steph Curry's been okay, not particularly good.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
But other than that, like.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Joel Embiid's been really good. But they haven't really been
tested by the Brazilians. I don't think this is a
substantially strong Brazilian squad and this is the benefit of
getting the number one overall seed. Other than that I got,
I don't have a ton of takeaway fromiss game.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Not a ton.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Are we to wait on the Brandon Nayuk thing. And
then you know what's super weird. What's super weird is
And again, you guys tell me if I'm wrong, But
we have which, by anybody's account, would be two really
interesting super teams in baseball and two different kind of stories.
And yet it's really hard to find a baseball topic.
(26:50):
Like Jay, we talk about this all the time. Yes,
Yankees and Orioles are now tied with sixty seven wins
and forty six losses. Like, I guess that's sort of interesting, right.
The Dodgers right there at sixty six and forty seven
as well, but they're five games up on the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I just we have the chance of Yankees Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Obviously, there's the Phillies, there's the Orioles, there's the Brewers.
There's some other teams as well. But it's just really
hard to find anything interesting on a daily basis to
talk about baseball. And I ask you every day, and
even you loves baseball, can't come up with anything super interesting,
drivable topic, can you?
Speaker 8 (27:29):
No?
Speaker 6 (27:29):
And beyond the White Sox making history and being really
bad losers, No, there's nothing that gets your interest. There's
this real sad story with Freddy Freeman out here and
his kid. I know that made headlines yesterday, but yeah,
from like a kind of dramatics story. I guess you
(27:50):
could track Aaron Judge. He's on a pace for I
don't know, home runs in the fifties. I think Ellie
de la Cruz I think is on pace to be
a thirty thirty guy.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
But yeah, I don't know that. I love the game,
but I can't say that there are like any tangible
national stories that piqued my interest.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I didn't think the Freddy Freeman thing ended up being
a bad story, right, And wasn't his son's okay?
Speaker 3 (28:18):
An't he?
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Oh? I don't know if we could say that yet.
I think the prognosis is good. But but you know,
anytime you have a little one that goes through.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
In the ICU.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Yes, and he missed several games.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Now when I understand, I understand that a whole lot
more than the missing for the birth of child, the
multiple days of the birth of child.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Fair we've absolutely question for that's absolutely the case in sports.
I am the of the old school mentality in sports
that you owe your fans and your team, Uh, play
the games that are scheduled and have your kids in
the season, and that, for whatever reason, has become a
(29:03):
wildly unpopular opinion with the recent generations.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Did you see that FIU sold the naming rights to
their football stadium to Pitbull? Florida International is going to
be have Pitbull Stadium and he gets a bunch of
different benefits with it. But it's like a five year,
six million dollar deal, which means.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
You never My opinion of Pitbull is you never see
him without a dime piece on each arm and sunglasses
at a club. I wonder if he just like sits
at home on a Thursday night and like reheats leftovers
and Watland watches reruns.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
You know, I'm guessing even his pajamas are are pretty outstanding.
You know, they might be a little over the top,
you know, a little over the top, that'd be my guess.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
So that's funny.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, I wonder if he ever ever or is that
bad hair day, or is there ever a moment in
which he has he hasn't shaved his head in like
two weeks and it's got like a weird, bad five
o'clock shadow.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
On his head.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
What if he has secretly has the island. And you know,
I mean island is when you go bald, but there's
still that like patch of hair right in the front
of your uh, up your head, and sometimes that continues
to grow and you just lose all the hair around it.
What if Pitbull secretly has the island?
Speaker 6 (30:27):
That'd be funny, win it, win it?
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Yeah, it's FIU Pitbull Stadium, pit Bull Stadium.

Managing staff for your supply chain is complex. Let Express
and Play Professions provide the workforce you need. With Express
you can lower contingent labor costs and reduce turnover. God
expresspros dot Com a location near you, that's Expresspros dot Com.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Let's get to the press, shall we.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
The press?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Isaac Low and Crown, what do you got?
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
What?
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Indeed, Doug, We'll lead off with Charles Barkley, who has
decided not to retire from broadcasting after all at the
end of next season. He now says he plans to
complete and fulfill his full contract with Turner Sports, which
runs through twenty thirty two, with The Wall Street Journal
(31:38):
reporting today that TNT could rebrand Inside the NBA as
Inside Sports, which would cover all sports instead of just
the NBA.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
It's ambitious, right, I mean you just have those guys
sit around and talk about anything. I suppose Yeah, I
just don't know if that works.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Well.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
If you don't have a game around, you don't have
the built in audience people want to watch live sports.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
So that's the big challenge. It's a big challenge. It's
a big challenge.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
I mean, the NBA contract runs through next season twenty
twenty four to twenty five, pending litigation. So after that
we're talking seven more years of just filling just this enormous,
enormous contract.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Well for Charles Brockley get get another contract and getting paid.
But I just don't know if that makes a bunch
of sense.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
No problems from his point of view, Doug. The food
at the Olympic Village has been consistently criticized by athletes
throughout these games, the latest complaint now coming from British
swimmer Adam Petty, who claims, and I quote people are
(32:56):
finding worms in the fish unquote Olympic organizers saying in
a statement, quote, there is no information that's been able
to provide validity to this sensationalist claim. Unquote.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
That's just part of the recipe.
Speaker 9 (33:20):
It's French food, you know, it's it's fine worms drinks.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
I mean, I mean, could it be that he just
maybe mistook the s cargo for worms in the fish?
It isn't french.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
Man?
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Also possible? Also possible.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
I mean, I'm reminded of the movie Airplane where they
had a choice between eating the meat and the fish,
and everybody who had the fish god sick.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Do you speak Do you speak jive?
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Nobody? No, but Barbara Billingsley does. Oh Man, a great movie,
time does every watch absolutely and absolutely stands the test
of time.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
It still does in the same way that like The
Bad News Bears does for me work. I watch it
because it's so politically incorrect. I enjoy that it's it's
I just wish that they were raw movies like that
that had zero care for people's feelings, you know, they
just they it kills everybody. Everybody is subject to ridicule
(34:29):
and jokes made about them in that movie, and I
love it.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Could you possibly make a remake of Airplane that could
hold a candle to the original. I just think the
original was so good it will be impossible to come close.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
And it would be watered down. It would it would
have to be. I think Vince Vaughn recently made news
when they did this podcast and talked about why there
are no R rated comedies anymore. It's just that people
are so afraid to write and say things, and that's
such an uninteresting landscape.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Staying with question, staying with the Olympics. This is not
a report from an official news outlet. This is just
some random guy who's in Paris named Henry McNamara and
he tweeted this and to provide background. You know, Snoop
Dogg has been a popular part of NBC's Olympic coverage.
(35:24):
He's basically been everywhere. But mister McNamara tweeted and I
quote sat next to an NBC exec at dinner. He said,
Snoop gets paid five hundred thousand dollars a day plus
expenses to be here promoting the Olympics. What a world unquote.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
I mean, what you're surprised by that? I mean he's
been brilliant. Snoop Dog's a brilliant businessman.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
The Olympics to get paid just to watch paid to
watch sports incredible. How do I get that gig?
Speaker 4 (36:02):
I'm telling you, but between better.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Than the ones that simply gig that is better than
the one that people are promoting on theirnet right where
all you got to do is like move something over
and you become like a seller on at Sea for
all these different companies. I mean, Snoop Dogg is clearly
better than selling on Etsy.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
I mean, it's an influencer lifestyle baby. I mean back
in the day, you know Paris Hilton and the Kardashians,
they get like huge amounts of money to like show
up at a club at a party. I suppose doesn't everybody, Well,
it's a joke compared.
Speaker 9 (36:32):
To so Snoop's making like seven million dollars essentially, and
actually more than that because he's there for more than
two weeks I imagine. I mean, the only way you
can get to that point in your life is if
you were Snoop Dogg up until that point.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Good for him, man, and I.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
Will said that he could also charge expenses, so imagine
going on indeed charging them for that order. You know,
filling out expenses to see that expense report.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Fatally, speaking of food and expenses in the NFL, the
Arizona Cardinals announced fifty new food offerings it will be
available at their home games this year, among them cotton
candy burritos. They will be filled with ice cream, various
types of candy, and the tortilla, if you will, will
(37:23):
consist of a giant rolled up piece of cotton candy.
Speaker 8 (37:29):
Yuck.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
That sounds absolutely disgusting. And by the way, is there
how much how much up charges there on cotton candy?
I mean, outside of the machine that puts it, it's
just sugar right, all whisked together. It's really got of
an amazing business. I would guess that it costs all
(37:52):
of five cents to make whatever cotton candy you're making.
That's probably the greatest up charge in all the carnival
food kingdom.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
And that's the press they get out there and pressed.
Speaker 5 (38:03):
That was the press.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
I mean, I don't think that's a hot take, but
it might go down as a hot take. Right all right,
Team USA is gonna win. I guess maybe Steve Kerr
is not an idiot. We'll see how they play against Serbia.
Speaker 3 (38:15):

Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's the way tire buying should be welcome in. Listen.
A lot of discussion, a lot of discussion about uh
Brandon Ayuk and potential deals being on the table for
(00:49):
him and general structure of deals, et cetera, et cetera,
et cetera. All right, and how does that read to
most people? Does that mean that they're trying to trade him? No,
it means they don't want to trade him. But like, look,
if your best options are not in DC, right, your
(01:11):
met options are not in DC where he wants to be,
and instead it's Cleveland where you have a fading quarterback
who does not appear to be nearly as good as
he was several years ago. Or New England, who's devoid
of wide receivers, but also a lot of questions about
quarterback and about offense in general. It's just like one
(01:32):
of those threats, and this is a real thing. You
can go to those teams. You could be the man.
You could potentially make somewhere near the core the money
you want to make.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
But what you're going to give up is.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
A chance to play in the super Bowl at San
Francisco forty nine ers. That's what it feels like. That's
where it feels the Niners are as a team. Hey man, look,
if you really really want to get out of here,
here are the teams that are viable options for you.
Of those teams, just you might want to note a
(02:06):
note to self, Hey, we're not going to a super
Bowl with any of these teams. And then it's as
much as you say that sounds great, I'd like to
do it. I want out of here. Trade me right now.
I want to get the money that I deserve. That's
not how it always works, right. Yes, you can get
the money, but it might be not be in a
(02:26):
team that you want Hey, I want to play for
this team. Well, that team's like, well, then we're not
really interested at the price that he wants to pay
that he wants us to pay. So I get again,
if it's me, I stay on a winner. As long
as I can remember, he's in the last year of
his contract. Barring injury, he's going to get a new deal.
(02:47):
In terms of will that deal get anywhere near the
money that he wants, apparently not unless he's going to
go on a lower level team or a team that's
not competitive to play for a super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
So that's it's it's.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Fascinating to me, what happens. What would you choose? Ilo,
I give you a choice. You can either play with Hey,
you can either play with San Francisco forty nine Ers
on your current deal and then explore free agency options
or a franchise tag after the season's over, or.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Or I have to.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I have to go to it inferior your team that
we don't really know who the quarterback is going to
be or what it's actually gonna be.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Like eleven times out of ten, I'm staying with the
forty nine ers.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Do go ahead. I'm sorry, Illo, No, I mean.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
I think if you stay with the forty nine ers,
you can have your cake and eat it too. You
get another shot at a championship. Because these situations always
work out better for the team than the disgruntled departing star.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
No question.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Look the parting farmer star. I mean, look, we saw
Tyreek Hill. Things have worked out really well financially for him.
The team has gone on to win two Super Bowls
without him, right, So in that case, you're right, it
doesn't always work that way. You know, the Vikings had
a super talented wide receiver, they traded him and got
Justin Jefferson and instead now they've locked in on Justin
(04:31):
Jefferson to be their guy in perpetuity.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I remember Steve Smith of the Carolina Panthers was trade away.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Did they go to the Super Bowl after Steve Smith
or with Steve Smith? Can't remember that one. But we
have seen this before.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
We have seen teams get rid of or get rid
of a guy who wanted a bunch of money and
end up going to the Super Bowl without him. The
difference is the timing. It is really crumbing and for
him it's yeah, it's a it's going to be a sacrifice.
The sacrifice is super simple. Sacrifice is you'll make more money.
(05:11):
You'll make the money or close to the money you want,
but what you get back and return is a chance
to pay for Super Bowl. And everybody says, hey, I'm
a professional, I just want to make money.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
If you're a competitive dude, you.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Don't want to play in a team that's going to
get mollywammed. And the Patriots are going to get mollywomped,
and the Browns are going to get mollywammed, and the
Niners do the mollywamping.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
That's a powerful thing.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Now, it stands the reason that he wants to go
to Washington, and Washington's not gonna be great. But what
makes up for it is that's his home area. That's
his boy who's the quarterback. But if you think winning
doesn't matter to all these guys and it's just simply
about money, I give you DeVante Adams, right, all he's
ever want to do is be a raider.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
And he was like, yeah, I don't know about this stuff.
This is not fun.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
The city you want to be in, play for the
franchise you want to playing. You make all the money
you want, but if you're losing it just sucks.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
It just sucks. All we got a good hour for you.

the way, it's forty two thirty four with four to
oh three remaining in the second quarter. Second quarter has
(06:37):
been played at a much slower pace than the first quarter.
I don't know what they're arguing back and forth. They're
going to the monitor here. Jolenbid looked really good in
the first quarter. Second quarter not as much. But part
of it is Steph Kerry keeps turning the ball over
writing time he's double teamed on a ball Streen. So
I actually think this was one where Joel Embiid was
playing really well and they went to their bench and
(06:58):
oversubbed and sub team USA out of their rhythm.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And you can do that.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That's a hard one when you're coaching, you know, It's
like the old adage in baseball is you never square
up screw up a winning streak. In basketball, you never
screw up. Positive momentum. Positive momentum. H remember when Brazil
was good? It was a short little window there. Not
(07:26):
right now, but still forty two thirty four.

(08:46):
play less, acts the coach. There's a question that needs
an answer, and the answer is.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
If only there was someone with the authority and the
wisdom to give us that answer.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I'm the head coach. I get to set skeed.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Hold on. Let's ask the coach.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
I think what sells that stage? Or is the referee whistle?
Hold on? And then the referee whistle? Everyone knows that
it's you know this is going to be a coaching
hold on?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Hold on? Yeah, we got it, we got yeah. Hold up.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
This submitted on Twitter coach, not only did Gobert, Rudy
Gobert not start today, Uh, he wasn't even the choice
for backup center as Lazore played one quarter minutes over
him reminds me of one that t Wolves decided to
close with Towns read over him feels like, for whatever reason,
(09:43):
he always finds himself in this situation. Now, Doug, I
will add this, I think Gobert is dealing with a
finger injury. Not sure what finger or what kind of
an injury, but I think that might.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, he had a broken finger, just located finger or whatever.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
He barely played and.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
So I but maybe the essence of the question is
still legit. Doesn't Gobert find himself in these situations where
he's not on the floor and important minutes of NBA
games and international games.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Does have a tendency to happen to him?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yes, because he he he well as good as he
is defensively and really good defensively in FOBA competition. He
can't score in a low post and he can't shoot.
So if you can score in a low post in FOBA,
you're a lot more valuable than you are in the
NBA or in the NBA. You gotta be able to
(10:39):
roll or pick and pop, so he can he can do.
He doesn't really help you offensively at all in Phoeba
stole basketball.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Get another question, Hi, will you go on?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I do all right, coach? I want you to explain
your kay. Dear coach, I want you to explain your
philosophy of dealing with the refs when the season starts
this fall.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Mm hmm. Dealing with them now.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Getting the getting the most favorable success in terms of
you know, you know what do you get on them?
Do you not get on them? Just the way you
I guess, advocate for the best possible treatment of your
team by the refs.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Green Bay is gonna have a good team this year, right.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I thank you, thank you. I appreciate that. I agree
with that.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Well.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
My first rule is for the bye language of our
players to be excellent.
Speaker 8 (11:41):
Right.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
We need big time by language.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
If we don't have the right by language, it doesn't
really matter, right. So by language is huge, huge, And
then for me, I just think, you know, it's trying
not to show anybody up, try not to embary them.
I'm sure I'll have there'll be some guys that will
come in and want to make a name for themselves
(12:05):
by you know, seeing if they can team me up
or something. I don't know, like have I been tough
on revs? Sure most of those guys are refs at
at higher level than the I don't necessarily know a
bunch of these guys, And I just I feel like
you set a presence of not being a complainer and
simply having conversations with the refs. But like, look, man,
(12:26):
I dealt with AAE rest the last eight years. Okay,
those are guys making fifteen twenty a game. So I
think the current guys that will be officiating college games
will be a lot better off and I'll have a
lot more patience with them.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I like it, Yeah, sure, so like it.
Speaker 9 (12:44):
I have question, Doug Jimmy, you, being a former player,
a college basketball player, how do you what do you
tell your players in terms of nutrition and diet and
like especially date game day, day of the game, before
the game, pregame meals, but like just in general to
avoid this or eat that.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
What do you what do you tell you guys?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
You can't, you can't micro manage everybody. You do have
pregame meal. And what I've been solely but truly trying
to preach to these guys is the need to get
away from carplex complex carbs. You know, obviously none of them,
none of them drink soda anyway, but you know, drinking
a ton of water, and then you know supplements, and
then day of games again, you know you're you're eating
(13:28):
some normal you know, some carbs with vegtfruits and vegetables,
but I don't believe in like rice or or any
sort of pasta in the pre pregame meal. So whatever
your natural routine is, I want you to keep it.
The one thing that we'll do that's different, and this
doesn't have pertain to eating, is we'll practice twice a
day on most days, you know, got more an hour
in the morning, you know, more skill based and kind
(13:49):
of maybe walk through some different things, and then the
evening when we practice it'll be just five on five. Anyway,
that'll I think more closely mirror what we do in
game days where we have like an active I don't
like to call it a walk through, it's a workout
in the morning, and then we come back and we
play at night. So, uh, the eating will be the
same there, the rhythm of it will be the same.
(14:12):
The only difference is the length of the night sessions
a little bit longer because it's a real game.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
What about halftime? How do you how do you dictate the.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Rotate orange slices? Orange slices?
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Do you do the mom's the mothers of the players.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Question?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Well, you got to know which team mom brings the
good juice boxes and which team mom doesn't.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Who's bringing the Caprice.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Totally right, Capri Son Sunny d. Then you got to
have like fruit roll ups. You would believe what kids
have now with these like post game things. They get
like a little brown baggy with candy and stuff.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
They're coming industry. It's it's become a niche industry. It's
become a how can I one up the other parents?
It's it's parents showing off is what it is.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah, well it's I I think where it started to
be honest, was the the party party gift, party favors,
party favors.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, We're like we're having a little We're having a
birthday party for a little Jimmy swag bag. Right, We're
having a birthday party for little Jimmy. So you bring
a president for little Jimmy, and I have to give
you a present for coming to my kid's birthday party.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Does anybody else find flaw with that?
Speaker 7 (15:24):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (15:24):
I grew up with this rule. And you can go
to stores like Party City and find just an entire
wall of party favors and it's pretty cool. Not gonna lie,
I grew up with the party favorite bag.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Because you grew up in the party, you grew up
in the party favorite generation.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yep, you did party any more? Any more questions for coach.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
I just need add some commentary. So I grew up
playing soccer in the wait seventies and our coach used
to take me to games in his pickup truck that
I used to ride in the back of the pickup
truck with no seat belts, and we would if we
if we did get water at the games, it would
be the host. Every once in a while there would
(16:06):
be a parent that would bring the uh the after
the game. But when I started coaching my kid, I
noticed that all teams had a mandatory rotation of postgame
treats and they were susceptible to be judged.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
There were those.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Lazy parents that would be like, I'm just going to
order a pizza mid game and hopefully it'll be here
by the end of the game. But it's it's a
fascinating thing to think about.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
What a racket I I think it's really interesting that
a couple of different things here. Right, You you grew
up in that same same time zone when I did. Yeah,
in terms of the soccer thing, it has become a
complete and total racket, right, And also did you. I'm
(16:56):
sure same. You grew up, you ran underneath the tunnel
where all the parents have the tunnel. You grew up,
and you run out the tunnel, Oh, the tunnel, and
you get the victory tunnel on the and and even
if you lose, you go through the tunnel after. Kids
look more forward to the tunnel when they do the
actual sport.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
I didn't have the tunnel. Is that where the parents
make a tunnel? Will they get their arms?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I never did that.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
No, I never did that.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Never did that.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
No, I don't know. I think he's just old, too
old for that.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
We would have had that when I was a kid.
Some of the parents would have smacked me as I
ran by for all the mistakes I used to make.
By the way, do people just ever go to Dairy
Queen after games anymore? Or has that been lost to history?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I thought it was. I thought it was Shaky's Pizza.
Wasn't that what you did?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Shaky's round table? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
I think too many people over the years were sued.
If you tried to organize something like that and some
got hurt on the way, then they get they get
the lawsuit. Something something happened to those post game get
togethers unless sure shame.
Speaker 9 (17:52):
I remember my baseball coach, like when I played, you know,
T ball or little league baseball, if we played really
well and got the win, we'd each get a slice
of pizza and a Annesota.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
That was like what we look forward to.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I remember my dad used to Uh, we'd always I'd
go to the pizza parties after games whatever. And the
big thing with the pizza parties after the games, though,
were the begging for the quarters for the video games, right,
and then you just stand there playing Galiga. Back there,
somebody else is playing Miss pac Man. And then they
put the they put the game on and this is
more a tackle football. They put the game on the
(18:24):
big screen. But the big screen had the three different lights. Yeah,
the three there was like red, green, and blue, and
there's these three big lights that went up on the
projector big screen. And nobody paid attention to the game
because all you were doing was begging for quarters and
putting your quarter on a machine because you were up next.
Because it was the closest you can get to go
(18:46):
into a real arcade, was going to the pizza places arcade.
This what was like, Sam, this is the real hard
knocks that we grew up in right. Somehow we made it.
We survived, We did, we survived.
Speaker 9 (18:59):
I think I'm closer to like your guys's experiences in
your generation than I am too like the kids who
are seventeen eighteen years old and what they experience.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Let's look, go, man, he's t J.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Hutchman's out from a pro bowler with the CINCINNTI Bengals,
of course, longtime friend of the show and a wide receiver,
savant rand and ayuk. What's your evaluation of how good
he actually is, how good.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
He actually is? Well, I mean, just watch the film.
It speaks for itself. Minimal targets and he bought out.
It sucks, man, that it's come to this like that.
That's the part that I'm sure the Niners they don't
want this. NBA doesn't want this. But as far as
a player, if you give him targets, he's going to
(19:49):
lead the league. He's that talented. He's quick, he's fast,
he can run routes. I hope they're able to figure
something out with San Francisco. I thought they were getting
really closed. I thought a deal would be announced actually
by yesterday. So to hear that now they've given them
permission to seek a trade and they've kind of work
(20:09):
the parameters of a trade. Is surprising, but I hope
they can come to agreement because the Niners are the
favorite coming out the NFC without iuke that changes.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It's really interesting that this has played out so publicly.
Can you remember as something like this playing out publicly
in the past where being leaked out. There's a couple
of teams that have kind of things sort of said
in order, but no deal being made as of yet.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
It's, you know, behind the scenes, they tried to, you know,
figure something out, and so it's somebody's trying to put
pressure on the other party, whether it's the Niners trying
to put pressure on Baba trying to put pressure on
a Niner. Somebody's applying pressure to try to get this
thing handled.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
They want the situation to be handled.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
But yeah, it's like, just pay me what the going
rate is, Like, why should I take a discount? Y'all
want me to take a discount because we have all
these good players.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
That ain't my problem.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
And the Niners are saying, oh, we have all these
good players, you have a chance to win. Take a discount,
and so it's a people start the league things because
they feel the pressure of, oh, how the fans are
going to react to the Niners and how the fans
are going to react to ba Man. I wish this
type of stuff would stay private, but in this day
and age of social media, you tell one person, you
(21:30):
never know what's gonna happen after you do that.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
What do you think of the money to a got.
Speaker 8 (21:38):
I thought it was I thought I probably would have
liked it to have been around fifty, which is still
a lot. You know, Tour gets a lot of flack
of oh what he isn't and what he isn't. Let's
talk about what he is. He throws the football with
actress and he led the NFL and passing yards Yeah yeah,
Jayleen Waddow and Tyreek Hills. So what if I'm the
quarterback of the Dolphins. I'm not going to lead the
(21:59):
league at past so somebody has to throw the ball
to him. Sua is going to have to justify that
by playing better late in the season.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
He was awful.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
He was awful down stretching, He was awful in the playoffs.
He knows that I believe he can and will be better.
But when you have a quarterback that leaves the NFL
than passing yards, he deserves to be compensated. And again,
fifty three point one, I probably would have preferred to
be at riding around fifty, but I'm not going to
complain about that because I think Sua is a good quarterback.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Stuck Gotleib show here on Fox Sports Trada. That's the
voice of TJ. Huschman Zada. What is I'm interested in
the Bengals, you know, the t Higgins thing, the Jamar
Chase saying, we know they've been accused rightfully, so even
going back to when you play to being cheap, usually
they paid their own. Guys, what are your thoughts on
(22:49):
how Mike Brown and the Bengals are handling all this.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
I don't like it, Doug. I really don't, man. But
one thing that I do know about the Bengals in
Mike Brown, They're gonna pay the quarterback and they gonna
pay their number one receiver. So Jamar Chases don't get
his money. It's just a matter of win. He's gonna
get it. That's what the Bengals do. They'll pay the
quarterback and they'll pay their number one receiver now the
number two like T Higgins or whomever else. They'll just
(23:13):
continue to draft a guy to be that guy instead
of paying of T Higgins. But Jamar's gonna get his money.
What I would like to see is just pay him now,
because the longer you wait, the more you gonna play.
So I don't understand that, but he's gonna get his money.
It's just a matter of when. The Bengals have always
(23:34):
operated this way. I just hope that it doesn't rub
him the wrong way. I'm talking Jamar Chase, it doesn't piss.
Speaker 7 (23:41):
Him all.
Speaker 8 (23:43):
Because if it does, then it can start to be
a problem in the locker room and amongst the team.
I don't believe that will be the case, but it's possible.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
It's Stug Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Rady, that's
the voice of TJ. Hushman Zada. All right, now, the
Cowboys with CD Lamb and their issues.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
When you say CD Lamb, you might as well throw
in dak Ad Mike at that in that equation. It's
the same thing that I just said with the Bengalis.
Jerry Jones, you knew last year before the season started,
a CD Lamb was going to be a part of
your future. Lock them up, sign them to an extension,
because had you signed Ceede Lamb to an extension last year,
(24:25):
you probably could have given me twenty seven million a year.
If you want to signed him to an extension before,
justin Jefferson, you probably could.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Have given me thirty one thirty two.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Now you're going to give me more than that. Did
you not learn your lesson with the Dak Prescott negotiations
years ago? You could have signed them from thirty thirty
one thirty two thirty three. You end up giving them
forty a year. And so the Cowboys are under pretty
commitment because you have CD Lamb who wants to get
paid to be one of the highest paid receivers and
he's earned that, and you have Dak Prescott that wants
(24:58):
to get paid. You have Michael person that wants to
get paid.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
You got to start paying these dudes to early when
they're a part of your love term. Dute, I don't
know why these teams do it, but they need to
figure something out with cd am or the Cowboys will
be in big trouble.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
He's two.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
J Uchman's out of course, co hosts of Up on Game,
which you can hear in radio form and podcast form.
Is a former Pro Bowl wide receiving He joins us
on the Doug Gottlieb Show of course up on Game
as Lebar Arrington and Plexica Burst as well. It's available
wherever you download your podcast. Who should the Best Man
have a great day?
Speaker 8 (25:33):
Hey, I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Man, that's my guy. Tjsman's out of joining us in
the Doug Gottlieb Show. Here on Fox Sports Radio. We're
at sixty six thirty eight, just getting started here in
the third quarter with tm USA commanding lead. On Brazil,
I would say the only thing that's super interesting is
Jille Embiid's played.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Well, that's it.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I got nothing else for you that's interesting about this game.
I mean, Steph Curry's been okay, not particularly good.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
But other than that, like.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Joel Embiid's been really good. But they haven't really been
tested by the Brazilians. I don't think this is a
substantially strong Brazilian squad and this is the benefit of
getting the number one overall seed. Other than that I got,
I don't have a ton of takeaway fromiss game.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Not a ton.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Are we to wait on the Brandon Nayuk thing. And
then you know what's super weird. What's super weird is
And again, you guys tell me if I'm wrong, But
we have which, by anybody's account, would be two really
interesting super teams in baseball and two different kind of stories.
And yet it's really hard to find a baseball topic.
(26:50):
Like Jay, we talk about this all the time. Yes,
Yankees and Orioles are now tied with sixty seven wins
and forty six losses. Like, I guess that's sort of interesting, right.
The Dodgers right there at sixty six and forty seven
as well, but they're five games up on the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I just we have the chance of Yankees Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Obviously, there's the Phillies, there's the Orioles, there's the Brewers.
There's some other teams as well. But it's just really
hard to find anything interesting on a daily basis to
talk about baseball. And I ask you every day, and
even you loves baseball, can't come up with anything super interesting,
drivable topic, can you?
Speaker 8 (27:29):
No?
Speaker 6 (27:29):
And beyond the White Sox making history and being really
bad losers, No, there's nothing that gets your interest. There's
this real sad story with Freddy Freeman out here and
his kid. I know that made headlines yesterday, but yeah,
from like a kind of dramatics story. I guess you
(27:50):
could track Aaron Judge. He's on a pace for I
don't know, home runs in the fifties. I think Ellie
de la Cruz I think is on pace to be
a thirty thirty guy.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
But yeah, I don't know that. I love the game,
but I can't say that there are like any tangible
national stories that piqued my interest.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I didn't think the Freddy Freeman thing ended up being
a bad story, right, And wasn't his son's okay?
Speaker 3 (28:18):
An't he?
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Oh? I don't know if we could say that yet.
I think the prognosis is good. But but you know,
anytime you have a little one that goes through.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
In the ICU.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Yes, and he missed several games.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Now when I understand, I understand that a whole lot
more than the missing for the birth of child, the
multiple days of the birth of child.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Fair we've absolutely question for that's absolutely the case in sports.
I am the of the old school mentality in sports
that you owe your fans and your team, Uh, play
the games that are scheduled and have your kids in
the season, and that, for whatever reason, has become a
(29:03):
wildly unpopular opinion with the recent generations.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Did you see that FIU sold the naming rights to
their football stadium to Pitbull? Florida International is going to
be have Pitbull Stadium and he gets a bunch of
different benefits with it. But it's like a five year,
six million dollar deal, which means.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
You never My opinion of Pitbull is you never see
him without a dime piece on each arm and sunglasses
at a club. I wonder if he just like sits
at home on a Thursday night and like reheats leftovers
and Watland watches reruns.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
You know, I'm guessing even his pajamas are are pretty outstanding.
You know, they might be a little over the top,
you know, a little over the top, that'd be my guess.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
So that's funny.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, I wonder if he ever ever or is that
bad hair day, or is there ever a moment in
which he has he hasn't shaved his head in like
two weeks and it's got like a weird, bad five
o'clock shadow.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
On his head.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
What if he has secretly has the island. And you know,
I mean island is when you go bald, but there's
still that like patch of hair right in the front
of your uh, up your head, and sometimes that continues
to grow and you just lose all the hair around it.
What if Pitbull secretly has the island?
Speaker 6 (30:27):
That'd be funny, win it, win it?
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Yeah, it's FIU Pitbull Stadium, pit Bull Stadium.

Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Doug Gotlib Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Managing your staff.
Managing staff for your supply chain is complex. Let Express
and Play Professions provide the workforce you need. With Express
you can lower contingent labor costs and reduce turnover. God
expresspros dot Com a location near you, that's Expresspros dot Com.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Let's get to the press, shall we.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
The press?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Isaac Low and Crown, what do you got?
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
What?
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Indeed, Doug, We'll lead off with Charles Barkley, who has
decided not to retire from broadcasting after all at the
end of next season. He now says he plans to
complete and fulfill his full contract with Turner Sports, which
runs through twenty thirty two, with The Wall Street Journal
(31:38):
reporting today that TNT could rebrand Inside the NBA as
Inside Sports, which would cover all sports instead of just
the NBA.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
It's ambitious, right, I mean you just have those guys
sit around and talk about anything. I suppose Yeah, I
just don't know if that works.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Well.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
If you don't have a game around, you don't have
the built in audience people want to watch live sports.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
So that's the big challenge. It's a big challenge. It's
a big challenge.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
I mean, the NBA contract runs through next season twenty
twenty four to twenty five, pending litigation. So after that
we're talking seven more years of just filling just this enormous,
enormous contract.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Well for Charles Brockley get get another contract and getting paid.
But I just don't know if that makes a bunch
of sense.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
No problems from his point of view, Doug. The food
at the Olympic Village has been consistently criticized by athletes
throughout these games, the latest complaint now coming from British
swimmer Adam Petty, who claims, and I quote people are
(32:56):
finding worms in the fish unquote Olympic organizers saying in
a statement, quote, there is no information that's been able
to provide validity to this sensationalist claim. Unquote.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
That's just part of the recipe.
Speaker 9 (33:20):
It's French food, you know, it's it's fine worms drinks.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
I mean, I mean, could it be that he just
maybe mistook the s cargo for worms in the fish?
It isn't french.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
Man?
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Also possible? Also possible.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
I mean, I'm reminded of the movie Airplane where they
had a choice between eating the meat and the fish,
and everybody who had the fish god sick.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Do you speak Do you speak jive?
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Nobody? No, but Barbara Billingsley does. Oh Man, a great movie,
time does every watch absolutely and absolutely stands the test
of time.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
It still does in the same way that like The
Bad News Bears does for me work. I watch it
because it's so politically incorrect. I enjoy that it's it's
I just wish that they were raw movies like that
that had zero care for people's feelings, you know, they
just they it kills everybody. Everybody is subject to ridicule
(34:29):
and jokes made about them in that movie, and I
love it.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Could you possibly make a remake of Airplane that could
hold a candle to the original. I just think the
original was so good it will be impossible to come close.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
And it would be watered down. It would it would
have to be. I think Vince Vaughn recently made news
when they did this podcast and talked about why there
are no R rated comedies anymore. It's just that people
are so afraid to write and say things, and that's
such an uninteresting landscape.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Staying with question, staying with the Olympics. This is not
a report from an official news outlet. This is just
some random guy who's in Paris named Henry McNamara and
he tweeted this and to provide background. You know, Snoop
Dogg has been a popular part of NBC's Olympic coverage.
(35:24):
He's basically been everywhere. But mister McNamara tweeted and I
quote sat next to an NBC exec at dinner. He said,
Snoop gets paid five hundred thousand dollars a day plus
expenses to be here promoting the Olympics. What a world unquote.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
I mean, what you're surprised by that? I mean he's
been brilliant. Snoop Dog's a brilliant businessman.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
The Olympics to get paid just to watch paid to
watch sports incredible. How do I get that gig?
Speaker 4 (36:02):
I'm telling you, but between better.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Than the ones that simply gig that is better than
the one that people are promoting on theirnet right where
all you got to do is like move something over
and you become like a seller on at Sea for
all these different companies. I mean, Snoop Dogg is clearly
better than selling on Etsy.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
I mean, it's an influencer lifestyle baby. I mean back
in the day, you know Paris Hilton and the Kardashians,
they get like huge amounts of money to like show
up at a club at a party. I suppose doesn't everybody, Well,
it's a joke compared.
Speaker 9 (36:32):
To so Snoop's making like seven million dollars essentially, and
actually more than that because he's there for more than
two weeks I imagine. I mean, the only way you
can get to that point in your life is if
you were Snoop Dogg up until that point.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Good for him, man, and I.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
Will said that he could also charge expenses, so imagine
going on indeed charging them for that order. You know,
filling out expenses to see that expense report.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Fatally, speaking of food and expenses in the NFL, the
Arizona Cardinals announced fifty new food offerings it will be
available at their home games this year, among them cotton
candy burritos. They will be filled with ice cream, various
types of candy, and the tortilla, if you will, will
