Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, this is the Doug Gottlieb Show. Heres in
the Bonus with Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
What of Doug Gottlieb's show in the Bonus Fox Sports Radio,
I Heart Radio app. Welcome in. Do Do Do Do
Do Do? I love this. We talked a lot about
We'll talk about Tree Lance here in the pod. Talk
a little Micah Parsons. This is my favorite Michael Parsons. Now,
(00:33):
by the way, if you just join us, today is
the day that Michael Parsons said he want to be traded. Edwarder,
who always says more, covered the Cowboys for years. Despite
his public critic cool the Cowboys organization's trade request, Michael
Parsons has no intention of leaving training camp and incurring
a fifty thousand dollars in daily finds mandated by the NFL. Translation,
It's all about money. It's all about money. It's all
(00:57):
about money, by money, It's all about money. So you know,
I was I was thinking about this the other day,
and it did prove to be true. With Lebron posting
a photo of him working out at what looked like
(01:19):
the Clippers facility. Turns out that facility is the old
Clippers facility, which Clutch Sports purchased but has yet to rebrand.
And as Jason Stewart likes to say, none of this
stuff with Lebron happens by accident. It all happens with
a purpose. And you go from the last last photo
(01:42):
op we saw of Lebron was him with Nikola Jokics
agent and apparently talking about this new basketball league, and
all that is is like, look, the NBA is trying
to find a way to get FOBA to be a
part of what they're doing. So they have European teams,
they can make more money than getting those markets. And
it's Rich Paul and Lebron James likely thinking we're not
(02:05):
going to get the NBA either is not going to expand,
or we're not going to get the Vegas team, and
so they're trying to make a big stink. And if
they make a big stink, maybe they either get a
team or get someone to buy one of their teams
and place them in the NBA. I'm sure that's the plan.
The problem with it is all of these things, all
(02:27):
these things from how he's handled the entire deal, with
how he's handled the entire deal with Luca and saying
it's Luca's team, and you know the contract extension to
how he's handled you go back when Cleveland hosted the
All Star Game and he was talking about coming back
(02:49):
to Cleveland when he was a member of the Lakers.
Fast forward to what he's done with Jokic's agent talking
about a new league that would be essentially in competition
with the Lake, with the Lakers, with the NBA, and
then he's whether or not they know it was a
clutch facility the Clippers really doesn't matter. The picture does matter.
(03:11):
Having the Clippers logo behind you on two different shots
does matter. He knows that, and it just shows that
Lebron doesn't care and doesn't value anything or anybody else
other than his guys and his stuff and his people
that have been with him for a long time. And
that does not include NBA teams the NBA in general.
(03:32):
And I think it's a sad view of sports that
here's a guy who has lived up to and maybe
exceeded any possible expectations of him as a young star
and been compensated handsomely because of it. The two sides,
the NBA and Lebron James, have both mutually benefited from
the relationship and at the end of it, he doesn't care.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
App Let's get to What the fuck Says and now
say every day at this time on the Doug Gottlieb
Show podcast here on Fox Sports Radio on the iHeartRadio Apple.
He played for your portion of a previous show on
on Fox Sports One or Fox Sports Radio. Here's Rob Parker,
(04:22):
part of the Odd Couple. He said this about Tom
Brady's message to Scotti Scheffler about work in family balance.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I'm with Tom Brady. That's not why they broke up
over one more year of football. They had other issues.
She wound up having a baby like eight months after
they broke up, so there was other issues. It wasn't
just that he was playing football. That was her trying
to flex on him to like a power struggle. No,
stop playing now, he's already played with one like he
(04:49):
played eight years, and it was he had played over
twenty years. She knew what she had signed up for
and knew what he was about.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
And this whole idea. This wasn't like you were a.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Banker and then you got married and then you got
three jobs and you had to go on the road
and you worked at night or whatever. This is what
she signed up for, and and you can't have it
both ways. You want the life, you want all this
other stuff that comes with it, and you also don't
want the man that supposedly you love all right to
(05:20):
resent you. I think she's selfish.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, I mean again, we discussed this yesterday. It's there's
it all depends on who you are, a lot of
it depends on your job. I get what Jason Stewart
is saying. I even get what Scotti Schefler saying. The
problem with Scotti Scheffler saying, and I just gotta be
the best dad and father I could be. That's awesome,
it's awesome. But remember you're a professional golfer. You're doing okay,
(05:52):
and you could sit there and go, hey, Tom Brady's
for the NFL quarterback. He was doing okay as well.
He was, But doesn't you know the mentality of athletes oftentimes,
whatever wherever you come from, it's about if you don't
want to do it, we'll find somebody who will whereas
country club sports, that's what tennis and golf are though
(06:13):
they're really hard, really taxing, a lot of hours, and
golf is a lot of hours from home. So I
do get it, but there are very few people that
that come from nothing that become professional golfers, especially in
the United States. Yes, you're gonna say, Jay su.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yeah, So just for context, in case people are listening
for the first time, you made the comment that you
understand where I'm coming from. I walked away from yesterday's
radio show and podcasts thinking, I don't think Doug knows
where I was coming from. If you could summarize what
you think, my take is, what is it?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I think it's at you think it's admirable that Scotty
Scheffler has decided that or is able to verbalize what
a lot of people believe, which is, you know, trying
to get to the top of the mountain doesn't last
for fifty sixty years. The relationship with your children is
more important, and the best way to foster that relationship
(07:21):
with your children is to spend more time with your children.
Is that fair?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
No? So, Okay, My overall point yesterday is that I
think Brady's full of shit. Tom Brady wrote this message
to Scotti Scheffler about how they shouldn't be mutually exclusive,
how being the best at what you do and being
a great father could be done simultaneously, and that tom
(07:47):
Brady's example was every time I went to work, I
was I was making an example for my kids of
how to work hard. And I say, that's bullshit, and
I said. The one thing we know publicly about Brady,
his kids and family that has been on record is
(08:08):
how he handled the roast. Giselle's camp was obviously not
happy with it. Tom Brady has come out since saying
he regretted doing it and in that moment, he failed
his kids. And in that moment, I wouldn't be surprised
if his kids were resentful of him. And if he
(08:28):
didn't have the foresight going into this roast where you're
going to be the subject of professional roasters insulting you
and your orbit, then how can we believe that you
woke up every day thinking I'm setting an example for
my kids. It just doesn't. It rings hollow to me.
(08:48):
There's a contradiction there. I think he did it all
for himself and the championships and the rings when he
was playing, and I think he did the roast for himself.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, I don't see it that way at all, but
it's okay, I don't. I don't see it as being
as selfish of endeavor to constantly push for excellence. I
view the world in much much the same way. And
and the other part to it is, you know, the
the roast part that you that that he had allegedly
(09:20):
had an issue with was roasting his ex wife more
than him, most of his ex wife, which I think
that was the part that he's like, yeah, really, that's
I didn't think they would go there, you know, take
all the shots at me, not not other people in
my orbit. But regardless of which I again, you think
that Tom Brady is selfish, I think there is a
(09:43):
little selfishness. You have to be a little selfish, maybe
a lot selfish to be successful. You just do you know.
That's the reality of it. That's reality of I'll give
you here's an example. A basketball example is Steph Curry's
last shot against Serbia. That crazy three. It is terrible shot,
(10:04):
selfish shot. Shouldn't take that you had two guys on you.
Somebody's open but in order to be great, sometimes you
got to take that shot Magic Johnson the baby skyhook
against the Boston Celtics in the lane to win a
game and ultimately going on winn NBA Finals. Careemale duels,
borrows wide under, open underneath. Sometimes you gotta be a
little selfish, and in this particular case in sports, yeah,
(10:24):
it's a little selfish to go back out there year
after year trying to chase that championship. But it sometimes
you do have to psych Do I believe it's every day? No,
I'm with you. I don't think it's every day. But
there are times in which you're pulling out of the
house you're like, what am I doing? You know? What
am I doing? Just chasing my tail here? And then
you're driving down the road and you're like, you know
(10:45):
what if I have this in me and I don't
get it all out of me, then I'm doing myself
at the service? And what am I teaching my kids?
I don't I think that him going to Tampa, though
it it became the next step in the dissolution of
his marriage. I do think that there was a great
point made and there was a sacrifice given, and I
(11:09):
actually agree with Rob Parker there on. If we think
that's what led to the downfall of his marriage, then
that's a cra crazy overreaction by Giselle. I pointed out
at the time when she talked about how many concussions
he had that she didn't want to play football for
a long time, like she'd been anti football for more
than a minute. But if we if if that is
(11:32):
the reality, well then they didn't have a good relationship anyway.
That's actually my way of looking at it, Like we
make it about these little things. No, it's not like
that's something you can work through. Some of you can
work through. Do I think that he was always the
best parent?
Speaker 5 (11:47):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Do I think he did some selfish things. Sure, but
it's to me, it's what was the energy behind it,
And I don't think look at it as negatively as
you do. Here's Brady Quinn and talk about Trey Lance's
performance last night.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Jim Harbaugh has taken over as the quarterback whisper in
the NFL.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Right there you go.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
I mean, I have a lot of respect for Kyle
Shanahan who drafted Trey Lance, and they couldn't really I
guess figure out or maybe they didn't give him enough time.
I'm not It's still a conundrum to me what went
wrong with Trey Lance in San Francisco. I mean watching
him last night, you see the tools, you see the intilligils.
(12:28):
I know it's a preseason game. I don't want to
make too much of it, but in all seriousness, you're like, Okay,
if if at basically every other quarterback in their career
careers in your system, why not give him a little
more time. That That whole situation was just bizarre to me.
And look, we're not going to see Trey Lance probably
after this the preseason, but good for him, like good
(12:51):
for him to ball out like that in a standalone
moment and have the opportunity to kind of start building
back that reputation of what he can be being a
guy who's a third overall pick.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna just respectfully disagree with uh
with a guy who played quarterback in the NFL and
evaluates them. Trey Lance, by all biolcams stunk. He And
when you're not good enough, you make two decisions, stop
playing football or get better. And he's got better. And
Jim Harbaugh has always been a quarterback whisper. He's also
(13:25):
a probably what a four or five year vet you
know that started games in the NFL. That's playing in
a preseason game against other people's twos and threes and fours,
with a good group and a good offensive scheme. So
I just I definitely think he's better. Definitely think he's better,
(13:46):
and I definitely think that Harbaugh helps. But like we're
sitting there and acting like he was with the Dallas
Cowboys for two years, right, two years. These are the
Dallas Cowboys and oh yeah, by the way, the starting
quarterback got hurt and no one thought anything of Trey Lance.
(14:10):
So it's like we're sitting there going, like, man, Kyle Shanahan,
I can't believe you couldn't figure it out. Like, dude,
he wasn't any good and he's gotten better. But he's
also a veteran playing in the very first preseason game
against nobody. That's just the reality. He's been in the
NFL for five seasons now, five five and last year
(14:33):
he had one game with two hundred and forty four
yards passing. That was the last game of the year
when he started against Washington. They were trying to figure
out if he if he gets if he could play,
and their determination in Dallas was can't play, can't play.
So my guess is that it's partially the system, partially
(14:58):
the coaching, Partially he's improved, but mostly he's playing against nobody,
and he's a former first round pick, five year vet.
It should be easy for him. Here's Kabina un Rich
talking about Happy Gilmore too.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
Fans have always supported Sandler, the critics never really gave
him the thumbs up. Happy Gilmore the original was a
dumb movie, but we liked it, so I think, and
I'll make it short and sweet if you didn't like it,
because you're gonna say it was dumb and stupid, What
the hell are you expecting? I feel like that's on you.
(15:38):
Were you expecting Showshank Redemption? It's happy? Yeah, it's Happy Gilmore.
Were you expecting Goodfellas? Like Scorsese's not involved here. This
is Adam Sandler movie. It's more of a tribute to
the original because there's so many Easter eggs and cameos
and shoutouts to the original. That's more of a tribute
(15:59):
to anything. But I found to be really enjoyable Rich
and I'm I'm sort of a grumpy guy.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
The number seventy four random appearances from people in this movie.
There was a cameo from cameo, so you gotta believe that.
From all the professional golfers to eminem to Travis Kelcey
to Bad Money.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
It was the return of Hailey Joe Osmon, who was
the funny ass super villain.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
I thought, I mean, he was great, he was great.
I thought it was.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
So dumb that it was funny, and that's what you
expect from a happy Gilmore.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I just think it's
a bad movie. It's weekend of Bernie's too, and you know,
if it fills need. It went straight to Netflix. His
last straight to Netflix, Hustle was really good. This one
was not. And it just it's really hard to recapture
that luster. I mean, heck, Stranger Things just coming out
(17:00):
with another season, right. I love Stranger Things, But if
we're honest, it's got to lose some of that charm
because they're not little kids anymore. It became less and
less charming the older they got. I think this one
is the same Sandler's movies become a little less charming.
I don't mind it. But I tried to watch a
little bit of it and thought it was dumb.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
Doug My thing was just I just found it boring.
Like if a comedy isn't making you laugh, then it's
a failure, right, That's the whole point of a comedy
is the jokes. And then the cameos were just kind
of further watering down the product. There was just so
many It was always kind of overwhelming, Like the movie
was just all over the place. The composition of it
was poor. So that was my whole thing. It wasn't
(17:39):
I wasn't going into it expecting shawshank redemption. I just
wanted like Adam Sandler movies. Yes you could say they're dumb,
but like you think about the Wedding Singer or Big Daddy,
those have sweet storylines in the ninety minutes, Like that's
how long a comedy should be. This was almost two hours.
It was just bloated. It was too many trips.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
It was like it was like they had to do
they had to get everything.
Speaker 9 (17:58):
They had to follow up with every actor that was
in the first one. What happened to him? Here's their son?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You know.
Speaker 9 (18:03):
It was just I don't know it was just too long,
it was boring.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I'd say, be sure to catch live editions of The
Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Let's find out who's annoying Jason Stewart, and now.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
It's your annoying.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
He Doug. A couple of weeks ago, I made the
comment that since Randy Moss murdered Tyreek Hill and said
that he's nowhere top ten of receivers and just basically
crushed the guy as a player, I said, maybe that
means we don't need to take Tyreek kill serious anymore.
But he's too fun to make fun of. I realize
(18:51):
he says a lot of stupid shit. He's annoying, So
I guess earlier in camp, to a tongue of viola,
I think that's how you pronounce it, or it's it's
how the president of our country pronounced it the other day.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
To uh tag oh volley, A.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
To a tongue of viola, to uh tag oh volley,
whichever one you want to pronounce it. He had said
earlier in camp that he's gonna hold Tyreek Hill accountable.
That kind of you know, that kind of made some waves,
made some news. So Tyreek Kill yesterday responded to those
(19:29):
words by to a tongue of VI to uh tag.
Speaker 10 (19:33):
O valeya, I think to a comments or needed you
know what I'm saying. He's obviously the leader of our team,
so he says the standard. So I'm just trying to
be the best teammate, best version of myself for this team.
I can be man every day showing up the means,
come out here every day, western motel and practice. I
think it's important, man. So if you want to be
(19:54):
able to leave a legacy, you gotta be able to,
you know, consistently do those kind of things.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
What's funny about that is that sounds like WNBA sound.
That sounds like a cell phone from the back of
the room. Great job and getting that sound to our
edit group. Also, Tyreek Hill is reading from some PR
firm crisis statement or something. Where did all this come from.
I want to be the best teammate. I could be
(20:22):
the best version of myself. He admitted in that press
conference that he's watching film for the first time. Remember
this is the guy that's been saying his entire career
that he studies other people through Madden, which justifies his
Madden habit, right, Like when my sister sends me positive
things about the use of weed, I'm like, you're just
(20:43):
justifying your weed habit, right. So, Tyreek Hill, this whole
time has been like, I play a lot of Madden,
I study tendencies. That's the film work I do. But
he admitted yesterday he's watching film for the first time.
What's going on here? Did somebody get to Tyreek Hill
and said, maybe you want to start saying the right
thing and doing the right things.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah, I definitely think people got to him. I think
it's a it's a great catch, but none of it,
it's just words. None if it means anything until it
actually becomes it actually becomes reality. Right. But yes, he's
somebody's absolutely gotten to him, and we'll see how long
it lasts.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
You started the radio show. Michael Parsons took to social
media and posted a statement. The bottom line of the
statement was I'm done. I want out. I don't want
to be here anymore. I'm sick of being dragged and
i want out. I'm telling my agents I want out.
(21:41):
So here the angle on the Michael Parsons saying that
I find interesting is remember it was the spring of
twenty four. I want to say, when Miles Garrett did
a lot of this stuff. He scrubbed his uh he's
scrubbed his social media of Brown's I think, put his
house up on sale. He demanded a trade, and then
(22:04):
he sent a letter to the city of Cleveland that
basically a goodbye letter. So if you're gonna go through
all those extremes to only sign a mega deal where
you're gonna be a Browns player for many years to come,
that's kind of crying wolf, right. I think that's a
disservice to your union, and it's a disservice to anybody
(22:25):
after you that's gonna try to pull these shenanigans. So
I guess my question to you is, should we take
Micah Parsons seriously after we saw what Miles Garrett did
last year?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
M No, I don't think you take anybody seriously. I
don't if you're on a rookie contract, don't do this
like I want to be traded. Shut the actual fuck up.
They don't have to fucking trade you, and they're not
going to fucking trade you they're just not It's all
(22:58):
an act. It's all a show, you know. And by
the way, like the timing of it, if you really
felt this way, then you should it done a long
time ago. We're not trading right before the season starts.
Get the fuck out of here. So dumb, Hey, guess what, dumbass,
you're under contract and this is the year which you
make a bunch of money. It's so silly what we do.
(23:19):
We allow ourselves to be drug into so many of
these discussions about contracts and NFL players. If you're if
you're in the fifth year of a rookie contract, okay,
they can without negotiation now they don't want to, but
they can put you in a franchise tag for three years.
Nothing you can do about it. So would they trade
Michael Parsons maybe two first round draft picks? Maybe if
(23:42):
they felt like we're not going to be a playoff
team this year, then it wouldn't be crazy to move
on from him. Do the Khalil Mack. But the strongest
like that is like it's it's like I just I
rolled my eyes at it. How many of these clowns
have asked to be traded knowing they're not going to
be traded. They don't necessarily want to be traded. They're
just they don't have any other way to get out
(24:05):
that they're frustrated. Get out that the frustrated.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Something that happened this week that we haven't gotten too
yet Shannon Sharp. The news came out that ESPN has
got ties and they are no longer going to be
using him moving forward due to I guess the speculation
is because of the all of the news and the
speculation and the civil lawsuit where he said and did
(24:32):
some awful things to a woman according to her. We're
never going to actually know what happened because it's not
going to go to trial because Shannon Sharp settled the
law the lawsuit, and it kind of starts a question
for me of what do we do with athletes that
are famous, people that settle things like what do we
(24:53):
do with Shannon Sharp? Now he apologized this week because
he's taking thunder away from Stirling Sharp, who's going into
the Hall of Fame. I don't know if everyone there
are a lot of people clamoring to follow Strowing Sharp's
path into the Hall of Fame. But I once worked
with a couple of guys that almost came to blows
on the air and it was this was this is
how it went well Kobe's Colorado case and settlement should
(25:20):
be said every time you talk about his legacy, that's
a negative part of his his legacy. And the other
person said, he settled that suit, and then it got
into this brujaha about never judge people that settle things.
Because you're settling things, to just move behind it so
that discovery doesn't come out, so that so that you
(25:41):
can just move on with your life as opposed to
an admission of guilt. So I guess this kind of
brings that question back with Shannon Sharp, what do we
what do we make of this settlement? What we how
are we supposed to judge him in the.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I think it's a great question. It's a great question.
I don't know the answer to it. I would say
that the only thing I can answer in terms of
how we should is how I would right like, I
can't tell you. I'd say that if you didn't like
Shannon Sharp, this only fuels it. If you do like
(26:16):
Shannon Sharp, you'll sit there and go this only fuels it.
Right like he just wanted to go away, you know,
he just settled it like it was we don't even
know the number whatever, you know, it's just he just
settled it to go away. And I would say that
in the professional world, Shannon sharp it. It really is.
(26:43):
There's a portion of it that I'm sad for him,
and You're like, how can you be sad for him?
I'm sad for him because I don't think Shannon Chart
is particularly good. I just don't. I think that he
A lot of it was timing and alignment, and you know,
he was He's he's actually very bright in understanding climates
and what jobs to take and how to do it.
(27:04):
Like the whole thing worked. You know, he got on,
he caught Skip's wave, and when Skip came over to
Fox Sports one, it kind of became the Shannon Show
as Skip wanted to play reactor, so everything was setting
Shannon up, but the show ended up building up Shannon
because one people don't like Skip, and two Skip tried
to kind of like change his style and his role.
(27:26):
And remember they didn't have a host the entire time,
so sometimes it was Skip and again, in effort to
not just come out and scream and yell the way
the way Steve and a did he wanted to, and
that just built up Shannon to where Shannon suddenly had equity.
Remember you go back to the days that when he
was at CBS, Shannon Sharp was somebody that people made
(27:47):
fun of because you know, he has a different way
of speaking that sometimes he can jumble words. Right then
the podcast took off, and just if we're being honest,
he was having you know, he's having really really good
guests that were really interesting, but he didn't do the
(28:09):
work and didn't know what they were referencing and talking about,
and so some of it made him look sort of foolish.
But again in the bottom line was people were downloading
it and he was making money. And then the Nightcap thing,
that thing took off as well. Right, so uh and
going back to ESPN end up being a home run
(28:30):
for him. But not having your personal life in order
is some amateur stuff. And we've all gone through things
in life, breakups, you know, sticky stuff, icky stuff that's
not great. But when you're sort of a repeat offender
to your personal life becoming public and you know, then
(28:53):
there's voice recordings of you and it just it's one
of those I mean, I knew I think all of
us knew once that lawsuit went down, he's losing his
job at ESPN. They have no matter how good you are,
they have no ability to separate what's accused to maybe
what happened. That's just not how they roll. But I'm
(29:15):
sad because his broadcasting career, whatever you think of the
actual talent, had really taken off. He was the guy
who was gonna take over for steven A, and then
this happened. It ended up helping steven A get his
next contract with the ESPN, but it's probably the end
of his mainstream career.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
So what we do with Shannon Sharp, then the Tyreek
Kill situation and the Mark Micah Parsons situation.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
H Michael Parsons thing is the most annoying. I mean,
just just as you're going to get a new contract
it's with the Cowboys, and then you know, you do
all this stuff to try and yourself traded. You're not
a free agent of the year. You're under contract. You know,
you do a podcast and you're surprised that people don't
always take what you say and think it's the greatest
thing of all time. Michael Parsons is a nig.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Why are we doing this because we can.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
The Brothers have a podcast that have been kind of
dormant this offseason. I'm guessing they're gonna ramp it up
as football begins. Baker Mayfield was on with The Kelsey's
and he said something naughty.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
What has it been about you and Tampa?
Speaker 6 (30:34):
I mean, you've you've played well at times everywhere you've been,
but in Tampa it's really gone to that next level.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
What do you think has led to that.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
You know, this isn't a ship on the other teams
and franchises, but like that when you step in and
your GM and your head coach say, hey, just be you.
After I've been told at every stop and everywhere I go, hey,
you need to tone it down a little bit. You
need to be a franchise quarter. It's just not who
(31:01):
I am. Like I where are my emotions on my sleeves.
We've hung out, you guys know me. I'm gonna talk shit,
I'm gonna do whatever. But when it's time to turn
the lights on and go do something, I'm gonna do it.
So when I stepped into the building, they all told
me to just be myself. And so it's been not
to say like comfortable, but it's felt like home since
the beginning, and as a quarterback that's been through a
little bit of a journey, you can't ask for anything else.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Hell yeah, hell yeah. Find a place that embraces you,
man for who you are. I actually love it for Baker,
I really do, really do well. I can play for
you because we can't. That's it for the inter Modus podcast.
Check got the radio show three to five Eastern total
to Pacific, Fox Sports Radio. iHeartRadio app. I'm Doug Gottlieb.
All right, this is the Doug Gottlieb Show. Heres in
the Bonus with Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
What of Doug Gottlieb's show in the Bonus Fox Sports Radio,
I Heart Radio app. Welcome in. Do Do Do Do
Do Do? I love this. We talked a lot about
We'll talk about Tree Lance here in the pod. Talk
a little Micah Parsons. This is my favorite Michael Parsons. Now,
(00:33):
by the way, if you just join us, today is
the day that Michael Parsons said he want to be traded. Edwarder,
who always says more, covered the Cowboys for years. Despite
his public critic cool the Cowboys organization's trade request, Michael
Parsons has no intention of leaving training camp and incurring
a fifty thousand dollars in daily finds mandated by the NFL. Translation,
It's all about money. It's all about money. It's all
(00:57):
about money, by money, It's all about money. So you know,
I was I was thinking about this the other day,
and it did prove to be true. With Lebron posting
a photo of him working out at what looked like
(01:19):
the Clippers facility. Turns out that facility is the old
Clippers facility, which Clutch Sports purchased but has yet to rebrand.
And as Jason Stewart likes to say, none of this
stuff with Lebron happens by accident. It all happens with
a purpose. And you go from the last last photo
(01:42):
op we saw of Lebron was him with Nikola Jokics
agent and apparently talking about this new basketball league, and
all that is is like, look, the NBA is trying
to find a way to get FOBA to be a
part of what they're doing. So they have European teams,
they can make more money than getting those markets. And
it's Rich Paul and Lebron James likely thinking we're not
(02:05):
going to get the NBA either is not going to expand,
or we're not going to get the Vegas team, and
so they're trying to make a big stink. And if
they make a big stink, maybe they either get a
team or get someone to buy one of their teams
and place them in the NBA. I'm sure that's the plan.
The problem with it is all of these things, all
(02:27):
these things from how he's handled the entire deal, with
how he's handled the entire deal with Luca and saying
it's Luca's team, and you know the contract extension to
how he's handled you go back when Cleveland hosted the
All Star Game and he was talking about coming back
(02:49):
to Cleveland when he was a member of the Lakers.
Fast forward to what he's done with Jokic's agent talking
about a new league that would be essentially in competition
with the Lake, with the Lakers, with the NBA, and
then he's whether or not they know it was a
clutch facility the Clippers really doesn't matter. The picture does matter.
(03:11):
Having the Clippers logo behind you on two different shots
does matter. He knows that, and it just shows that
Lebron doesn't care and doesn't value anything or anybody else
other than his guys and his stuff and his people
that have been with him for a long time. And
that does not include NBA teams the NBA in general.
(03:32):
And I think it's a sad view of sports that
here's a guy who has lived up to and maybe
exceeded any possible expectations of him as a young star
and been compensated handsomely because of it. The two sides,
the NBA and Lebron James, have both mutually benefited from
the relationship and at the end of it, he doesn't care.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
App Let's get to What the fuck Says and now
say every day at this time on the Doug Gottlieb
Show podcast here on Fox Sports Radio on the iHeartRadio Apple.
He played for your portion of a previous show on
on Fox Sports One or Fox Sports Radio. Here's Rob Parker,
(04:22):
part of the Odd Couple. He said this about Tom
Brady's message to Scotti Scheffler about work in family balance.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I'm with Tom Brady. That's not why they broke up
over one more year of football. They had other issues.
She wound up having a baby like eight months after
they broke up, so there was other issues. It wasn't
just that he was playing football. That was her trying
to flex on him to like a power struggle. No,
stop playing now, he's already played with one like he
(04:49):
played eight years, and it was he had played over
twenty years. She knew what she had signed up for
and knew what he was about.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
And this whole idea. This wasn't like you were a.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Banker and then you got married and then you got
three jobs and you had to go on the road
and you worked at night or whatever. This is what
she signed up for, and and you can't have it
both ways. You want the life, you want all this
other stuff that comes with it, and you also don't
want the man that supposedly you love all right to
(05:20):
resent you. I think she's selfish.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, I mean again, we discussed this yesterday. It's there's
it all depends on who you are, a lot of
it depends on your job. I get what Jason Stewart
is saying. I even get what Scotti Schefler saying. The
problem with Scotti Scheffler saying, and I just gotta be
the best dad and father I could be. That's awesome,
it's awesome. But remember you're a professional golfer. You're doing okay,
(05:52):
and you could sit there and go, hey, Tom Brady's
for the NFL quarterback. He was doing okay as well.
He was, But doesn't you know the mentality of athletes oftentimes,
whatever wherever you come from, it's about if you don't
want to do it, we'll find somebody who will whereas
country club sports, that's what tennis and golf are though
(06:13):
they're really hard, really taxing, a lot of hours, and
golf is a lot of hours from home. So I
do get it, but there are very few people that
that come from nothing that become professional golfers, especially in
the United States. Yes, you're gonna say, Jay su.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yeah, So just for context, in case people are listening
for the first time, you made the comment that you
understand where I'm coming from. I walked away from yesterday's
radio show and podcasts thinking, I don't think Doug knows
where I was coming from. If you could summarize what
you think, my take is, what is it?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I think it's at you think it's admirable that Scotty
Scheffler has decided that or is able to verbalize what
a lot of people believe, which is, you know, trying
to get to the top of the mountain doesn't last
for fifty sixty years. The relationship with your children is
more important, and the best way to foster that relationship
(07:21):
with your children is to spend more time with your children.
Is that fair?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
No? So, Okay, My overall point yesterday is that I
think Brady's full of shit. Tom Brady wrote this message
to Scotti Scheffler about how they shouldn't be mutually exclusive,
how being the best at what you do and being
a great father could be done simultaneously, and that tom
(07:47):
Brady's example was every time I went to work, I
was I was making an example for my kids of
how to work hard. And I say, that's bullshit, and
I said. The one thing we know publicly about Brady,
his kids and family that has been on record is
(08:08):
how he handled the roast. Giselle's camp was obviously not
happy with it. Tom Brady has come out since saying
he regretted doing it and in that moment, he failed
his kids. And in that moment, I wouldn't be surprised
if his kids were resentful of him. And if he
(08:28):
didn't have the foresight going into this roast where you're
going to be the subject of professional roasters insulting you
and your orbit, then how can we believe that you
woke up every day thinking I'm setting an example for
my kids. It just doesn't. It rings hollow to me.
(08:48):
There's a contradiction there. I think he did it all
for himself and the championships and the rings when he
was playing, and I think he did the roast for himself.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, I don't see it that way at all, but
it's okay, I don't. I don't see it as being
as selfish of endeavor to constantly push for excellence. I
view the world in much much the same way. And
and the other part to it is, you know, the
the roast part that you that that he had allegedly
(09:20):
had an issue with was roasting his ex wife more
than him, most of his ex wife, which I think
that was the part that he's like, yeah, really, that's
I didn't think they would go there, you know, take
all the shots at me, not not other people in
my orbit. But regardless of which I again, you think
that Tom Brady is selfish, I think there is a
(09:43):
little selfishness. You have to be a little selfish, maybe
a lot selfish to be successful. You just do you know.
That's the reality of it. That's reality of I'll give
you here's an example. A basketball example is Steph Curry's
last shot against Serbia. That crazy three. It is terrible shot,
(10:04):
selfish shot. Shouldn't take that you had two guys on you.
Somebody's open but in order to be great, sometimes you
got to take that shot Magic Johnson the baby skyhook
against the Boston Celtics in the lane to win a
game and ultimately going on winn NBA Finals. Careemale duels,
borrows wide under, open underneath. Sometimes you gotta be a
little selfish, and in this particular case in sports, yeah,
(10:24):
it's a little selfish to go back out there year
after year trying to chase that championship. But it sometimes
you do have to psych Do I believe it's every day? No,
I'm with you. I don't think it's every day. But
there are times in which you're pulling out of the
house you're like, what am I doing? You know? What
am I doing? Just chasing my tail here? And then
you're driving down the road and you're like, you know
(10:45):
what if I have this in me and I don't
get it all out of me, then I'm doing myself
at the service? And what am I teaching my kids?
I don't I think that him going to Tampa, though
it it became the next step in the dissolution of
his marriage. I do think that there was a great
point made and there was a sacrifice given, and I
(11:09):
actually agree with Rob Parker there on. If we think
that's what led to the downfall of his marriage, then
that's a cra crazy overreaction by Giselle. I pointed out
at the time when she talked about how many concussions
he had that she didn't want to play football for
a long time, like she'd been anti football for more
than a minute. But if we if if that is
(11:32):
the reality, well then they didn't have a good relationship anyway.
That's actually my way of looking at it, Like we
make it about these little things. No, it's not like
that's something you can work through. Some of you can
work through. Do I think that he was always the
best parent?
Speaker 5 (11:47):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Do I think he did some selfish things. Sure, but
it's to me, it's what was the energy behind it,
And I don't think look at it as negatively as
you do. Here's Brady Quinn and talk about Trey Lance's
performance last night.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Jim Harbaugh has taken over as the quarterback whisper in
the NFL.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Right there you go.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
I mean, I have a lot of respect for Kyle
Shanahan who drafted Trey Lance, and they couldn't really I
guess figure out or maybe they didn't give him enough time.
I'm not It's still a conundrum to me what went
wrong with Trey Lance in San Francisco. I mean watching
him last night, you see the tools, you see the intilligils.
(12:28):
I know it's a preseason game. I don't want to
make too much of it, but in all seriousness, you're like, Okay,
if if at basically every other quarterback in their career
careers in your system, why not give him a little
more time. That That whole situation was just bizarre to me.
And look, we're not going to see Trey Lance probably
after this the preseason, but good for him, like good
(12:51):
for him to ball out like that in a standalone
moment and have the opportunity to kind of start building
back that reputation of what he can be being a
guy who's a third overall pick.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna just respectfully disagree with uh
with a guy who played quarterback in the NFL and
evaluates them. Trey Lance, by all biolcams stunk. He And
when you're not good enough, you make two decisions, stop
playing football or get better. And he's got better. And
Jim Harbaugh has always been a quarterback whisper. He's also
(13:25):
a probably what a four or five year vet you
know that started games in the NFL. That's playing in
a preseason game against other people's twos and threes and fours,
with a good group and a good offensive scheme. So
I just I definitely think he's better. Definitely think he's better,
(13:46):
and I definitely think that Harbaugh helps. But like we're
sitting there and acting like he was with the Dallas
Cowboys for two years, right, two years. These are the
Dallas Cowboys and oh yeah, by the way, the starting
quarterback got hurt and no one thought anything of Trey Lance.
(14:10):
So it's like we're sitting there going, like, man, Kyle Shanahan,
I can't believe you couldn't figure it out. Like, dude,
he wasn't any good and he's gotten better. But he's
also a veteran playing in the very first preseason game
against nobody. That's just the reality. He's been in the
NFL for five seasons now, five five and last year
(14:33):
he had one game with two hundred and forty four
yards passing. That was the last game of the year
when he started against Washington. They were trying to figure
out if he if he gets if he could play,
and their determination in Dallas was can't play, can't play.
So my guess is that it's partially the system, partially
(14:58):
the coaching, Partially he's improved, but mostly he's playing against nobody,
and he's a former first round pick, five year vet.
It should be easy for him. Here's Kabina un Rich
talking about Happy Gilmore too.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
Fans have always supported Sandler, the critics never really gave
him the thumbs up. Happy Gilmore the original was a
dumb movie, but we liked it, so I think, and
I'll make it short and sweet if you didn't like it,
because you're gonna say it was dumb and stupid, What
the hell are you expecting? I feel like that's on you.
(15:38):
Were you expecting Showshank Redemption? It's happy? Yeah, it's Happy Gilmore.
Were you expecting Goodfellas? Like Scorsese's not involved here. This
is Adam Sandler movie. It's more of a tribute to
the original because there's so many Easter eggs and cameos
and shoutouts to the original. That's more of a tribute
(15:59):
to anything. But I found to be really enjoyable Rich
and I'm I'm sort of a grumpy guy.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
The number seventy four random appearances from people in this movie.
There was a cameo from cameo, so you gotta believe that.
From all the professional golfers to eminem to Travis Kelcey
to Bad Money.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
It was the return of Hailey Joe Osmon, who was
the funny ass super villain.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
I thought, I mean, he was great, he was great.
I thought it was.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
So dumb that it was funny, and that's what you
expect from a happy Gilmore.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I just think it's
a bad movie. It's weekend of Bernie's too, and you know,
if it fills need. It went straight to Netflix. His
last straight to Netflix, Hustle was really good. This one
was not. And it just it's really hard to recapture
that luster. I mean, heck, Stranger Things just coming out
(17:00):
with another season, right. I love Stranger Things, But if
we're honest, it's got to lose some of that charm
because they're not little kids anymore. It became less and
less charming the older they got. I think this one
is the same Sandler's movies become a little less charming.
I don't mind it. But I tried to watch a
little bit of it and thought it was dumb.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
Doug My thing was just I just found it boring.
Like if a comedy isn't making you laugh, then it's
a failure, right, That's the whole point of a comedy
is the jokes. And then the cameos were just kind
of further watering down the product. There was just so
many It was always kind of overwhelming, Like the movie
was just all over the place. The composition of it
was poor. So that was my whole thing. It wasn't
(17:39):
I wasn't going into it expecting shawshank redemption. I just
wanted like Adam Sandler movies. Yes you could say they're dumb,
but like you think about the Wedding Singer or Big Daddy,
those have sweet storylines in the ninety minutes, Like that's
how long a comedy should be. This was almost two hours.
It was just bloated. It was too many trips.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
It was like it was like they had to do
they had to get everything.
Speaker 9 (17:58):
They had to follow up with every actor that was
in the first one. What happened to him? Here's their son?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You know.
Speaker 9 (18:03):
It was just I don't know it was just too long,
it was boring.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I'd say, be sure to catch live editions of The
Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Let's find out who's annoying Jason Stewart, and now.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
It's your annoying.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
He Doug. A couple of weeks ago, I made the
comment that since Randy Moss murdered Tyreek Hill and said
that he's nowhere top ten of receivers and just basically
crushed the guy as a player, I said, maybe that
means we don't need to take Tyreek kill serious anymore.
But he's too fun to make fun of. I realize
(18:51):
he says a lot of stupid shit. He's annoying, So
I guess earlier in camp, to a tongue of viola,
I think that's how you pronounce it, or it's it's
how the president of our country pronounced it the other day.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
To uh tag oh volley, A.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
To a tongue of viola, to uh tag oh volley,
whichever one you want to pronounce it. He had said
earlier in camp that he's gonna hold Tyreek Hill accountable.
That kind of you know, that kind of made some waves,
made some news. So Tyreek Kill yesterday responded to those
(19:29):
words by to a tongue of VI to uh tag.
Speaker 10 (19:33):
O valeya, I think to a comments or needed you
know what I'm saying. He's obviously the leader of our team,
so he says the standard. So I'm just trying to
be the best teammate, best version of myself for this team.
I can be man every day showing up the means,
come out here every day, western motel and practice. I
think it's important, man. So if you want to be
(19:54):
able to leave a legacy, you gotta be able to,
you know, consistently do those kind of things.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
What's funny about that is that sounds like WNBA sound.
That sounds like a cell phone from the back of
the room. Great job and getting that sound to our
edit group. Also, Tyreek Hill is reading from some PR
firm crisis statement or something. Where did all this come from.
I want to be the best teammate. I could be
(20:22):
the best version of myself. He admitted in that press
conference that he's watching film for the first time. Remember
this is the guy that's been saying his entire career
that he studies other people through Madden, which justifies his
Madden habit, right, Like when my sister sends me positive
things about the use of weed, I'm like, you're just
(20:43):
justifying your weed habit, right. So, Tyreek Hill, this whole
time has been like, I play a lot of Madden,
I study tendencies. That's the film work I do. But
he admitted yesterday he's watching film for the first time.
What's going on here? Did somebody get to Tyreek Hill
and said, maybe you want to start saying the right
thing and doing the right things.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah, I definitely think people got to him. I think
it's a it's a great catch, but none of it,
it's just words. None if it means anything until it
actually becomes it actually becomes reality. Right. But yes, he's
somebody's absolutely gotten to him, and we'll see how long
it lasts.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
You started the radio show. Michael Parsons took to social
media and posted a statement. The bottom line of the
statement was I'm done. I want out. I don't want
to be here anymore. I'm sick of being dragged and
i want out. I'm telling my agents I want out.
(21:41):
So here the angle on the Michael Parsons saying that
I find interesting is remember it was the spring of
twenty four. I want to say, when Miles Garrett did
a lot of this stuff. He scrubbed his uh he's
scrubbed his social media of Brown's I think, put his
house up on sale. He demanded a trade, and then
(22:04):
he sent a letter to the city of Cleveland that
basically a goodbye letter. So if you're gonna go through
all those extremes to only sign a mega deal where
you're gonna be a Browns player for many years to come,
that's kind of crying wolf, right. I think that's a
disservice to your union, and it's a disservice to anybody
(22:25):
after you that's gonna try to pull these shenanigans. So
I guess my question to you is, should we take
Micah Parsons seriously after we saw what Miles Garrett did
last year?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
M No, I don't think you take anybody seriously. I
don't if you're on a rookie contract, don't do this
like I want to be traded. Shut the actual fuck up.
They don't have to fucking trade you, and they're not
going to fucking trade you they're just not It's all
(22:58):
an act. It's all a show, you know. And by
the way, like the timing of it, if you really
felt this way, then you should it done a long
time ago. We're not trading right before the season starts.
Get the fuck out of here. So dumb, Hey, guess what, dumbass,
you're under contract and this is the year which you
make a bunch of money. It's so silly what we do.
(23:19):
We allow ourselves to be drug into so many of
these discussions about contracts and NFL players. If you're if
you're in the fifth year of a rookie contract, okay,
they can without negotiation now they don't want to, but
they can put you in a franchise tag for three years.
Nothing you can do about it. So would they trade
Michael Parsons maybe two first round draft picks? Maybe if
(23:42):
they felt like we're not going to be a playoff
team this year, then it wouldn't be crazy to move
on from him. Do the Khalil Mack. But the strongest
like that is like it's it's like I just I
rolled my eyes at it. How many of these clowns
have asked to be traded knowing they're not going to
be traded. They don't necessarily want to be traded. They're
just they don't have any other way to get out
(24:05):
that they're frustrated. Get out that the frustrated.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Something that happened this week that we haven't gotten too
yet Shannon Sharp. The news came out that ESPN has
got ties and they are no longer going to be
using him moving forward due to I guess the speculation
is because of the all of the news and the
speculation and the civil lawsuit where he said and did
(24:32):
some awful things to a woman according to her. We're
never going to actually know what happened because it's not
going to go to trial because Shannon Sharp settled the
law the lawsuit, and it kind of starts a question
for me of what do we do with athletes that
are famous, people that settle things like what do we
(24:53):
do with Shannon Sharp? Now he apologized this week because
he's taking thunder away from Stirling Sharp, who's going into
the Hall of Fame. I don't know if everyone there
are a lot of people clamoring to follow Strowing Sharp's
path into the Hall of Fame. But I once worked
with a couple of guys that almost came to blows
on the air and it was this was this is
how it went well Kobe's Colorado case and settlement should
(25:20):
be said every time you talk about his legacy, that's
a negative part of his his legacy. And the other
person said, he settled that suit, and then it got
into this brujaha about never judge people that settle things.
Because you're settling things, to just move behind it so
that discovery doesn't come out, so that so that you
(25:41):
can just move on with your life as opposed to
an admission of guilt. So I guess this kind of
brings that question back with Shannon Sharp, what do we
what do we make of this settlement? What we how
are we supposed to judge him in the.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I think it's a great question. It's a great question.
I don't know the answer to it. I would say
that the only thing I can answer in terms of
how we should is how I would right like, I
can't tell you. I'd say that if you didn't like
Shannon Sharp, this only fuels it. If you do like
(26:16):
Shannon Sharp, you'll sit there and go this only fuels it.
Right like he just wanted to go away, you know,
he just settled it like it was we don't even
know the number whatever, you know, it's just he just
settled it to go away. And I would say that
in the professional world, Shannon sharp it. It really is.
(26:43):
There's a portion of it that I'm sad for him,
and You're like, how can you be sad for him?
I'm sad for him because I don't think Shannon Chart
is particularly good. I just don't. I think that he
A lot of it was timing and alignment, and you know,
he was He's he's actually very bright in understanding climates
and what jobs to take and how to do it.
(27:04):
Like the whole thing worked. You know, he got on,
he caught Skip's wave, and when Skip came over to
Fox Sports one, it kind of became the Shannon Show
as Skip wanted to play reactor, so everything was setting
Shannon up, but the show ended up building up Shannon
because one people don't like Skip, and two Skip tried
to kind of like change his style and his role.
(27:26):
And remember they didn't have a host the entire time,
so sometimes it was Skip and again, in effort to
not just come out and scream and yell the way
the way Steve and a did he wanted to, and
that just built up Shannon to where Shannon suddenly had equity.
Remember you go back to the days that when he
was at CBS, Shannon Sharp was somebody that people made
(27:47):
fun of because you know, he has a different way
of speaking that sometimes he can jumble words. Right then
the podcast took off, and just if we're being honest,
he was having you know, he's having really really good
guests that were really interesting, but he didn't do the
(28:09):
work and didn't know what they were referencing and talking about,
and so some of it made him look sort of foolish.
But again in the bottom line was people were downloading
it and he was making money. And then the Nightcap thing,
that thing took off as well. Right, so uh and
going back to ESPN end up being a home run
(28:30):
for him. But not having your personal life in order
is some amateur stuff. And we've all gone through things
in life, breakups, you know, sticky stuff, icky stuff that's
not great. But when you're sort of a repeat offender
to your personal life becoming public and you know, then
(28:53):
there's voice recordings of you and it just it's one
of those I mean, I knew I think all of
us knew once that lawsuit went down, he's losing his
job at ESPN. They have no matter how good you are,
they have no ability to separate what's accused to maybe
what happened. That's just not how they roll. But I'm
(29:15):
sad because his broadcasting career, whatever you think of the
actual talent, had really taken off. He was the guy
who was gonna take over for steven A, and then
this happened. It ended up helping steven A get his
next contract with the ESPN, but it's probably the end
of his mainstream career.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
So what we do with Shannon Sharp, then the Tyreek
Kill situation and the Mark Micah Parsons situation.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
H Michael Parsons thing is the most annoying. I mean,
just just as you're going to get a new contract
it's with the Cowboys, and then you know, you do
all this stuff to try and yourself traded. You're not
a free agent of the year. You're under contract. You know,
you do a podcast and you're surprised that people don't
always take what you say and think it's the greatest
thing of all time. Michael Parsons is a nig.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Why are we doing this because we can.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
The Brothers have a podcast that have been kind of
dormant this offseason. I'm guessing they're gonna ramp it up
as football begins. Baker Mayfield was on with The Kelsey's
and he said something naughty.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
What has it been about you and Tampa?
Speaker 6 (30:34):
I mean, you've you've played well at times everywhere you've been,
but in Tampa it's really gone to that next level.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
What do you think has led to that.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
You know, this isn't a ship on the other teams
and franchises, but like that when you step in and
your GM and your head coach say, hey, just be you.
After I've been told at every stop and everywhere I go, hey,
you need to tone it down a little bit. You
need to be a franchise quarter. It's just not who
(31:01):
I am. Like I where are my emotions on my sleeves.
We've hung out, you guys know me. I'm gonna talk shit,
I'm gonna do whatever. But when it's time to turn
the lights on and go do something, I'm gonna do it.
So when I stepped into the building, they all told
me to just be myself. And so it's been not
to say like comfortable, but it's felt like home since
the beginning, and as a quarterback that's been through a
little bit of a journey, you can't ask for anything else.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Hell yeah, hell yeah. Find a place that embraces you,
man for who you are. I actually love it for Baker,
I really do, really do well. I can play for
you because we can't. That's it for the inter Modus podcast.
