(00:22):
of the Doug gottli Show on Fox Sports Radio. Yesterday
with Rob Parker and I were here. We talked about
Jalen Ramsey going after a Jacksonville reporter for putting up
a video of a fight at training camp, sticking up
for his teammates, as he put it, and then telling
(00:42):
his teammates to not talk to that reporter and threatening
that reporter because of what he posted on social media
after telling them not to. I didn't think that that
was a good practice. I didn't think that Antonio Brown
being mad over a tweet sent by Ed Boushet of
the Pittsburgh Post Gazette was good practice. I don't think
that the NFL players should be attacking the media for
(01:02):
what they tweets or what they may put on social media.
If it seems to be as fair game as a
training camp fight would be, or Antonio Brown limping off
the field. Jalen Ramsey now comes out today and it
doesn't come out today. The article came out today in
g Q magazine in an interview that he did with
Clay Skipper, and what we hear from Jalen Ramsey is
(01:24):
his analysis of a majority of the quarterbacks in the
National Football League. But it wasn't a situation where you
had Jalen Ramsey saying, alright, let me break down these
thirty two quarterbacks. Let's start in the a f C East. Good, bad, awful.
It kind of came in a natural conversation. I think
what we can agree on, Jonas, is that Jalen Ramsey,
(01:45):
thank goodness, is speaking his mind, something that we don't
often get in the world of sports. Yeah. I don't
have an issue with it. You can't. You can't have
it both ways. We wish these guys would say more things.
They give to too many cookie cutter responses. And then
when a guy comes out and takes a sawed off
figuratively not literally, to half the quarterbacks in the NFL,
(02:06):
and he's being brutally honest about it and putting his
name on it. I don't have an issue with it
at all. I I wish I wish we got that
kind of honesty more often. And when a player is
talk there's certain players in the league who sometimes just talk.
Freddie Mitchell, he just talked and he didn't really deliver,
you know, I mean his his claim to famous. He
(02:26):
had the belt tuck way before Aaron Rodgers did, and
the Belt Championship thing, the rapper under waist like way before,
but he never gets credit for it. Jalen Ramsey is
one of the best players in football. I would say
he's a top ten if you were starting an NFL team,
not a quarterback. If you were starting a team, I
would imagine Jalen Ramsey's one of the top guys you
(02:49):
think about taking in the NFL. I think he's probably
I think he's a top two corner in the NFL.
I think it's him or Josh Norman as the best
two cornerbacks in the National Football League. And yeah, he
would be a guy that you would would be rare.
And so when a guy like that speaks out and
gives honest opinions, and again they're just his opinions about
quarterbacks around the NFL. You can either dismiss the comments
(03:11):
and say, well, he's just that's a guy just talking trash,
or you can look at it and go, well, I
don't know. You hear some of the stuff that he
had to say, and it seems like he pays attention
to what goes on in college. He's watching what's happening.
When he threw Josh Allen under the bus, it wasn't
like he just said, oh, this guy stinks. He gave
examples as to why this guy struggled against top tier
teams in college football. So I don't have an issue
(03:33):
with it. I wish more players are honest like that.
And Jalen Ramsey if if if this is how he
goes about his business, I'm good with it. And the
question about Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bill's quarterback who was
never taking an taking an NFL snap, Ramsey responded responded,
excuse me, I think Alan is trash. I don't care
what nobody say. He's trash and it's gonna show too.
(03:54):
That's a stupid draft pick to me. We play them
this year and I'm excited as hell. I hope he's
there start in quarterback. He played at Wyoming every time
they played a big school like they played and I
think it was Iowa not Iowa State, But what she
said is not a big school in his opinion, he
threw five interceptions and they lost by a couple of touchdowns,
saying he never beat a big school. So there was
there was data in reasons and why he thought that
(04:16):
josh Allen wasn't a good quarterback. But this conversation then
was was a a branching off of the conversation of
why Lamar Jackson wasn't drafted higher, and his explanation on
that and why he was wondering why Lamar Jackson wasn't
drafted higher was if he had the same traits as
Baker Mayfield, and Baker Mayfield went number one, and those
(04:40):
traits were worthy of the number one pick. Why did
Lamar Jackson last number thirty two? And why were other
quarterbacks taken before Lamar Jackson was That's where the point
ended up being, and Josh Allen's name was then brought
into it because of the fact that he was taken
ahead of Lamar Jackson. The other quarterbacks that he talked about,
and there were a bunch started out in a way
(05:00):
of who are the quarterbacks that you don't think suck?
That was the question to Jalen Ramsey. Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady,
Marcus Mariotto, he faces twice a year, Tara Taylor, he says,
is a better quarterback than he gets credit for. And
he goes on to say that Carson Wentz into Shawn
Watson from the Eagles and the Texans respectively, will be
battling for the next five or ten years for m
v PS. All of this is really good stuff, Jonas,
(05:22):
because we don't know what it's like to be a
cornerback in the National Football League and going up against guys.
And he has gone up against guys, and I should
leave out the point where he did say, or I
did leave out the point where he said Joe Flacco
sucks because he's actually played against Joe Flacco and says
that he was not impressed and thinks that Lamar Jackson
will have more of a role in Baltimore. But all
(05:44):
of this is analysis, whether it's taken from watching film,
from playing against guys, from from scouting. This is how
Jalen Ramsey has an opinion of this. All this is
all that we want from NFL players. I don't, Yeah,
I don't. I don't have an issue with it. Like
I said, if we get so tired of Belichick doesn't
give us any responses, we get so tired of Tom
Brady never gives us, gives us any real answers. Tom
(06:06):
Brady walked out of a press conference and that was
the story of the day because all he said was
it's ridiculous to ask about P. E. D. S. I'm
out see you guys, and that turned to do a
big story because he doesn't speak. If Jalen Ramsey is
going to open up and give actual and not just
surface sort of takes and surface sort of opinions and
(06:26):
provide data to go along with it. To your point,
that's I'm good with it. I don't. I don't have
an issue whatsoever. But I think he needs to be
careful of though. Is the more you say, the less
meaning that it has. And this is this is the
issue that that I would have with it. And I
don't know if it's if it's timing. If this was
going to be in a in a new stand coming
(06:47):
up in September, so the article ends up coming out
now but this is now the second week in a
row of a training camp where we've had Jalen Ramsey
in the news and it's from what he said and
did so for everything that we said about how great
of a player he is, he also has a pretty
strong voice because of how good he is Jonas. And
this is what worries me is that the more and
(07:08):
more that he talks, and I love the honesty, I
would not want it the other way around. I don't
want it like Bill Belichick. I don't want it like that.
But the more and more that he continues to talk,
the less and less everything that he said prior means
there's it's less weight. And that's where I think you've
got to be careful because if you're talking every single
week in making comments and strong comments about players, it's
(07:31):
just it's not gonna hold weight. We've seen it before
with Tara Owens, Jed Johnson, LaVar Ball, I mean, the
biggest one of all. The more he talks, the less
we listen. That's what scares me about Jalen Ramsey is
you gotta be you gotta be careful, you gotta watch.
It doesn't scare me, but you just gotta watch out
on how you deliver, because pretty soon, if you talk
too much, your words are gonna be empty. Well, um,
(07:52):
you saw the media's reaction when it came to Marshawn
Lynch after he refused to speak at the Super Bowl.
Every time somebody wanted to interview Marshawn Lynch, it was like, hey,
watch this, Hey Marshawn, your thoughts on the game? Got
no thoughts? But what are we doing tickling each other?
Like Jesus, the guy's not gonna speak, He doesn't want
(08:13):
to talk, so you just walk away. But everybody wanted
to go there. What's gonna happen now is every single
media member is going to try and get a sound
bite out of Jalen Ramsey. The sad part about this
whole conversation is that this wasn't caught on on tape,
Like there was no audio of it, because, like, I
have a buddy whose name is Alan. I would love
nothing more than to have a sound bite that I
(08:34):
could send to him that said Alan's trash. That's all
I want. But we don't have that now because Jalen
Ramsey did it for an interview with g Q. So
your point, yeah, every mic is going to be in
his face. Um uh, they're they're all going to be
talking to him. They're all going to to want to
get a sound bite out of him. It's just I'm
curious to see what he actually thinks about his own quarterback,
(08:57):
Blake Bortles. Um be, because I know that he gave
sort of a a a standard response of well, you know,
he's gotta do what he's gotta do, and I wish
he would have trusted him more and all that. But
if he were not his quarterback, how would he reacted?
Because Blake Bortles has been the laughing stock of quarterback
play in the NFL for the past couple of years.
He had a hit a good year last year. He
(09:18):
played pretty well in the postseason, but he's been the
butt of many jokes around the NFL, by media and
by fans, and so I find it funny that Jalen
Ramsey takes a shot at Ben Roethlisberger, who's got two
super Bowls, but with his own quarterback. Yeah, I wish
he would have trusted him. They do have they they
do have the the Steelers number Roethlisber. He's picked off Roethlisberger,
I think three times in his career, and we obviously
(09:40):
know what they did in the a f C Divisional
playoffs with getting a regular season win that they had earlier.
But yeah, to his point about Bortles as well, what
what's interesting about it is saying that he wished that
they had more confidence in him in that a f
C Championship game to throw the ball at the end
of the first half. They also asked how does he
do in practice? And he says, we don't go up
against him in practice, only in training camp? Do you
(10:03):
have the ones and the ones, saying that he goes
up against the scout team in practice leading up to games,
And then he said they didn't want to hurt his
confidence that going up against that Jaguars defense. Now there's
some there's there's bravado there for your own team and
what you do. But also you have to realize that
(10:23):
he's wearing the same helmet and jersey you are, so
even though he's not on the field at the same time,
he is your teammate. And that's not the that's not
the most glowing response that you would have. You would
hope that that defense could maybe toughen him up and
show that he can make the throws. Doesn't seem like
that's the case in Jacksonville. Be sure to catch live
editions of The Doug Dot Leap Show weekdays at noon
(10:43):
Eastern three pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
I Heart Radio app, and Gen Ramos is here as well.
In ninety minutes at John Ramos Show and New and Improved.
I don't know if it's gonna be a new format, Jonas,
I just know that it's going to be a new episode. Yeah.
I mean, you never can tell. Uh. Sometimes I can
(11:05):
just get the idea during the prep of the show.
And the reason I know about the prep of the
John Ramo Show is because it goes on while we
are doing the show. So I can sometimes see his
reactions and think, Okay, we got ourselves a winner, and
then other times I go, yeah, I don't think this
is gonna go real. Well, don't worry. It even happens
prior to the show. I noticed today that Robert Garrard,
(11:25):
executive producer, was working on The John Ramo Show as
we were trying to work on this show. So it's
a NonStop production of The John Ramo Show. And while
most TV shows are on hiatus in the summer, not
the John Ramo Show, new episodes whenever possible. Jalen Ramsey
could have his own TV show and it would be
pretty darn good. He's got an article in g Q
(11:47):
out and the Jaguars cornerback gave his analysis of I
don't want to say all of the quarterbacks in the
National Football League, but saying some would be an understatement
because there seems to be about I don't know, twenty
kedowns are so a different signal callers in the National
Football League, some good, some bad. But Jalen Ramsey just
giving his honest opinion of what he thinks of the
(12:09):
current state of quarterbacks in the National Football League, and
it's a mixed bag. Giving kudos to the likes of
Aaron Rodgers, Deshaun Watson, Tom Brady and not giving kudos
to such quarterbacks has Ben Roethlisberger, Andrew Luck and Matt
Ryan if he knew Matt Ryan's name. Those just some
of the quarterbacks that were brought up in this g
(12:30):
Q article. And how Joe Flacco, by the way, he
is not a fan of the Baltimore Ravens. Single call. Yeah,
not not a big fan at all. I think He
would speak for many and many fantasy football owners who
have had to sign Joe Flacco on a scramble, thinking
all right, this is the time, and then he gives
you a a twelve of nineteen buck twenty six, no touchdown,
no interception performance and you go ooh, there's a waste
(12:52):
of money. I go bye bye to my fantasy hopes
and dreams. UM. I am curious to think what Tom
Coughlin thinks about all this. I would love to ask
Tom Coughlin, are you okay with this? Because Tom Coughlin
and we all know that he's been essentially running the
show in Jacksonville. We know Doug Moron is the coach,
(13:13):
but Doug Moron is an extension of Tom Coughlin. They've
already punished Jalen Ramsey for issues he's had going on
social media, um criticizing local reporters there. This, this would
tell me that they've had conversations with him before about hey,
keep it cool, we don't need all this. And then
outcomes a g key article where he just lays waste
(13:35):
just seventy of the quarterbacks in the NFL. I can't
imagine Tom Coughlin's thrilled no. In Tom Coughlin likes to
run a tight ship, and that's why you get a
one week suspension for him. In the Dante Follower as well,
they want to keep things in order in Jacksonville. In
reading this piece, there are some who are I really
don't know if there are some. I gotta be honest,
I don't know if people are even offended at all
(13:57):
by these comments. Most of the things that I've heard
are like, good, he's speaking up. That was the message
that Bucky Brooks had from the NFL network as he
joined us earlier, but said if anybody does have a
problem with this article, well then they didn't get the
big picture of it. Here was Bucky Brooks earlier on
the show. Well, I think what you're hearing is the
pushback on a lot of people have their favorite quarterback.
(14:19):
A lot of people who are emphasize about all of
their quarterbacks their favorite quarterbacks being elite. Dude, h we
that are keys to playing with them or against them
are saying, no, these guys are fine and they're okay,
but there's some flaws with them. And the reason they
talked about the elite because a lot of times guys
are thrown into that elite quarterback circle easily, but really
(14:41):
the elast when you talk to players, it's Tom Brady,
it's Aaron Rodgers. They will throw Drew Brees in there,
and maybe Russell Wilson, but they're not a lot of
guys that they're seeing deserved to be in the v
I P Club. You've got mail? Can we next? Thank you?
We not have an email up when we're playing audio
from a computer, just maybe just log out for that.
(15:03):
Oh my god, there's a mute on It's a mute
at the top on outlook. Jesus, that was Bucky Brooks earlier.
We have a fractured team here at Fox Sports Radio.
But another fallout of this and and I think Bucky's
right where you've got, you know, a handful of elite quarterbacks.
(15:24):
But by the way, that before he got out the subject,
that's the equivalent to going to use the restroom like
a T. G. I. Friday's, and you peek into the
kitchen and you see the cook drop the burger on
the floor. That's what just happened here on Fox Sports Radio.
Uh one unread message in the inbox, Bucky Brooks laying out. Essentially,
(15:47):
there's there's a handful of elite quarterbacks that no matter what,
everybody's gonna say, they're great. Under that Jonas even there
maybe be good. There may be good quarterbacks at something
are great and something that are okay. They're okay quarterbacks.
It's some thinks thinking that some think are all right.
So you have various opinions on it, and I think
that's one of the things that Bucky is trying to say.
(16:07):
But what you have also got is you've got Jalen
Ramsey talking about his own quarterback. He was brought in
or Blake Bortle's name was brought into the conversation, and
he brought up that the team didn't trust that the
organization didn't trust Blake Bortles in that a f C
Championship game against New England and said that he and
said that he felt that they wished that they were
a little bit more aggressive. He also said that they
(16:28):
don't go up against the Jaguars offense during the season
and he joked that it's going to hurt his confidence.
But if you want to dig a little deeper into that,
there could be some issues there. Yeah, Um, when you
start to say when we've seen us a couple of
times in the NFL. UM and there could be more examples,
but just off the top of my head, the most
recently the Seattle Seahawks. UM. Before that, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. UM.
(16:52):
Before that, say the Chicago BEARSS to where you saw
a team whose defense was the star of the team,
regardless of when anybody says the eighty five Bears, it
was about their defense. The Seahawks, it was about that
legion of boom defense, that mentality they carried. For as
good as Russell Wilson became, he wasn't He wasn't as
(17:12):
good of a quarterback at that time because I think
he was still developing. And then the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
it was all about the defense. You know, John Gruden
get all the credit he wants, but that defense was
world class and they were the best in the league.
But what ends up happening is they become the star
and there's almost a divide. Well, it's all about the
team and not really, because I can remember Warren SAPs saying, well,
(17:35):
if we had um you know, uh, if we had
even the fifteenth ranked offense, we'd be the best team
in the NFL. Nobody could stop us, all right, So
what you're saying is that the offense isn't good enough.
It's all about the defense. If the offense could get
good enough, you would win more Super Bowls. Same with
the eighty five Bears who called out Jim mcmanhn for
not staying healthy from time to time. Um the same
with the Seattle Seahawks to where they were critical of
(17:57):
Russell Wilson and once um Marshaw Lynch left it just
so to me, he's kind of throwing shade at the
offense here. He's he's kind of calling out the coaching
staff for not letting Blake Bordles do this or not
letting him do that. And we know how that played
when Richard Sherman was trying to call out plays on
(18:18):
the sideline and telling the offense not to do this
during a regular season game last year. I just wonder
if at some point the defense becomes such a star
that they almost look down on the offense for not
being able to play at their level. And I wonder
if that does cost a divide and maybe that's a
bigger concern for you know, what I think is is
(18:38):
different in Jacksonville than the other situations that were brought
up is humidity and that Blake Bortles could lose his job,
that Jim McMahon was going to be the Bears quarterback.
There was no doubt about that. Russell Wilson was the
guy in Seattle. The Buccaneers, Brad Johnson was their veteran quarterback.
The Blake Bordles situation and this is why it may
(19:00):
be tough on on him specifically, is because there was
such a question about his status and if this team
takes a step back this year offensively. I know that
they made the commitment to Blake Bortles in the off season,
but this we've seen the Seahawks window of a defense.
To use them as an example, it's maybe five years,
six years at at most, and so you've got to
(19:23):
maximize every single one of those years. Jacksonville is taking
a risk with having Blake Bortles, but this puts him
even more in the spotlight. The divides, you really couldn't
argue with the success of those divides. Jodas because the
Bears want a super Bowl, the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl.
The Seahawks want a Super Bowl. Around the verge of
winning back to back ones, but in the end it
(19:44):
ends up crumble down. The Bears ended up crumbling. The
Buccaneers run didn't last as long as maybe some would
have hoped. So there's so there's that aftermath of it.
But yeah, I do think it's a legit problem just
because of the the status of Blake Bortles, of of
even just him keeping his job. And if now you
have defenders, it's not it's not like all of the
pressure is being put on the other eleven players on offense.
(20:07):
All of the pressure is being put on one Blake Bortles,
and that's different than the others. And we always hear
defense wins championships in sports, and it's true, defenses do
win championships. Um, you know what wins a lot of
championships Great offenses. And you can think that that's bs.
Think about it. Think about all the dynasties we've seen
just in the last twenty to thirty years in the NFL,
(20:29):
whether it was the Forts of the eighties, whether it
was the Dallas Cowboys of the nineties, whether it was
the Patriots most recently, what do they all have in common.
They're all known for great quarterback play and great offenses.
Nobody talks about the defenses. And it's true because that's sustainable.
A great quarterback can carry you to great places. Like
(20:53):
Bill Walsh was an offensive minded head coach. Jimmy Johnson, Yeah,
defense was important in Dallas, but it was all about
that offensive line and Troy Aikman and running the football.
Like even at one point during one of the Super Bowls,
they went into halftime trailing Buffalo and they ran the
same play to start the second half because they knew
(21:13):
they could wear out that Buffalo defense. So you can
you can talk all you want about, well, you know
it's our defense is going to carry this team. But
if you want to win a lot of Super Bowls
and you want to have sustained success, you need consistent, high,
high caliber play offensively or else it's not gonna happen.
And that's been proven in the NFL for the last
thirty to forty years. We've seen that. And and that's
(21:35):
that's the one thing I would say about Jacksonville if
if anything concerned me, not so much that he's honest,
it's the fact that he is sort of calling out
his offense, kind of implying that, yeah, they don't wanna
he's they're scared to put him up against us. Well,
if I'm if I'm Blake Bortles, I'm thinking, what the
hell is that? Okay, put me up against you guys?
(21:55):
Like if if the whole point is to get better,
what are we trying to do here? I think he
was trying to make the point of how strong their
defense is. And it can be taken a completely different way.
And it's the way that we're talking about right now
is that it's not about how great the Jacksonville defense is.
It's about how fragile that they have been handling Blake
Bortles and how concerned they are and how much pressure
(22:16):
is on him. By the way, I picked Jacksonville to
win it all this year. Like even all of this,
I I've there's I I think that the defense is
great enough. This fracture may not help, but I still
think that they are so elite on defense. No matter
what Jalen Ramsey says about any other quarterback in the NFL,
I think that they're going to win the Super Bowl.
You know what I do um most of the time,
(22:37):
because like Dan does a show here on Sunday's here
on Fox Sports, rade a great show with my Carmen
I do weekend overnights. Everybody that listens to my show
is hammered. So what I do is I usually pick
make my super Bowl picks every February. Not bad because

O'Neal appearance the teeny Bus. That's unbelievable. Thank you, Eric
Robarts back of the editing day. By the way, you
know Frank Pollock, our former tech producer the Lake Rate,
he said if he was in porn, his name would

Also exclusive, something you won't hear on any of the
show is Sam Donald going to start for the Jets
half not for you later on, but right now, just
because I want you to know where you can always

count on the genre almost show to give you the
inside scoop. It's time for this. Oh my god, I
love this clothes off story. Look, the Cleveland Browns have
(27:25):
only won one game in the past two seasons, but look,
on the down low, I heard HBO was thinking about
putting them on hard notes this season. Our ratings are
so damn low. Lebron James play eighty two games with
the Calves for the first time in his career this
(27:46):
past season, but on the down low, I heard he's
thinking of signing with the Lakers. I does the music stop?
What about different button? Leo mckin donald and won the
last two NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards. But
on the down low, I heard both guys are unhappy
(28:08):
right now and they might hold out for new deals.
Why does Jake Color look like he has no chin
to find out? Next? Other John Robos show? And now
these messages? This is bug ball, he can spin hair
comes Katie. This is our last episode. I firmly believe
(28:32):
that's a wrap on the k. Did someone spill a
gallon of coke on the board? By the way that
the Tim Alan version? Did Keane pick up a shift?
Let's here for Garth Brooks? Wait time out. Yeah, I
was gonna say, it doesn't really sound like Margarita. Well
(28:55):
it sounds like a cover. Okay, it really does. I
don't think this is Garth Brooks. I don't know. Maybe
I'm wrong Edity Bay, thank you for that. By the way,
we'll talk to We'll talk to Garth later on. We'll
ask him this is really him. Also coming up, I
know you've been waiting on this for a while. Monday
was National Left Hander's Day, so I will give you
(29:17):
my top ten left handed third string quarterbacks to play
in the SEC in the nineties. Trust me, there are
some stars on that list. But of course it's time
for one of my favorites. It's the John Ramos Show
mail bag. Look, this one comes from Arnie and Vermont.
(29:37):
Go ahead, Jonas, Hey, Hey, hey, hey, knuckle ahead. This
is Arnie in Vermont. Hey, John, I'm a big Arizona
Wildcats fan, and I think Khalil Tate might when the
highs in this year. What do you think knuckle ahead? Look?
(29:57):
Great question, Arnie. I like Lil Tate as well, but
know there's a pub down in Tucson and it has
happy hour that goes all the way from nine pm
on Wednesdays, and that's nice, so you should definitely check
that one out. Let's move on to Rob Detroit. John,
what the lines? Finally gonna cut the court with step Padfood?
(30:20):
He's not a good quarterback? Great question, Rob, Thank you
for asking. If there's just something about walking across the
email bridget two in the morning on a Saturday night
that really puts things in perspective. How about this mail
from Steven San Diego. I think, John, we lost the
Clippers and now we lost the Chargers. Why doesn't any
(30:41):
sports team want to stay in San Diego? Steve? Thanks
for checking in. You know I went to Sea World
with my kids a few weeks ago. A plays and
two hours turns out that none of the whales are
actually named Shamu, and I thought that was very interesting. Look,
that's all the time we have for tonight. A big
thanks to everyone who joined us including Garth Brooks for
(31:01):
me tight special guests. Sorry, gee Brooks, about to get
back you later on and Robert I'll catch you on
your backside. That was unbelievable. Um man, Oh my god,
I don't know why. Uh he said, take it away,
(31:23):
Jonas when a guy from Army who was like an
arty was calling in the old saying it's just like
riding a bike. Yeah that was a bike with one wheel.
Yeah that was Yeah, that was that was quite a ride. Maybe, man,
maybe when there's gaps between John Ramo shows, we should
(31:47):
just do dry runs in between. Oh my god, man,
I man, good stuff. I'm so glad that wasn't on
the air, like it was just a practice edition. I'm
so glad it just you know, we didn't try and
do it. One take on standby and we're back on
Fox Sports Radio. Oh man, that was too good. Um
(32:10):
all right, Dan Buyer Jonas knocks him for Doug goddlep

(00:22):
of the Doug gottli Show on Fox Sports Radio. Yesterday
with Rob Parker and I were here. We talked about
Jalen Ramsey going after a Jacksonville reporter for putting up
a video of a fight at training camp, sticking up
for his teammates, as he put it, and then telling
(00:42):
his teammates to not talk to that reporter and threatening
that reporter because of what he posted on social media
after telling them not to. I didn't think that that
was a good practice. I didn't think that Antonio Brown
being mad over a tweet sent by Ed Boushet of
the Pittsburgh Post Gazette was good practice. I don't think
that the NFL players should be attacking the media for
(01:02):
what they tweets or what they may put on social media.
If it seems to be as fair game as a
training camp fight would be, or Antonio Brown limping off
the field. Jalen Ramsey now comes out today and it
doesn't come out today. The article came out today in
g Q magazine in an interview that he did with
Clay Skipper, and what we hear from Jalen Ramsey is
(01:24):
his analysis of a majority of the quarterbacks in the
National Football League. But it wasn't a situation where you
had Jalen Ramsey saying, alright, let me break down these
thirty two quarterbacks. Let's start in the a f C East. Good, bad, awful.
It kind of came in a natural conversation. I think
what we can agree on, Jonas, is that Jalen Ramsey,
(01:45):
thank goodness, is speaking his mind, something that we don't
often get in the world of sports. Yeah. I don't
have an issue with it. You can't. You can't have
it both ways. We wish these guys would say more things.
They give to too many cookie cutter responses. And then
when a guy comes out and takes a sawed off
figuratively not literally, to half the quarterbacks in the NFL,
(02:06):
and he's being brutally honest about it and putting his
name on it. I don't have an issue with it
at all. I I wish I wish we got that
kind of honesty more often. And when a player is
talk there's certain players in the league who sometimes just talk.
Freddie Mitchell, he just talked and he didn't really deliver,
you know, I mean his his claim to famous. He
(02:26):
had the belt tuck way before Aaron Rodgers did, and
the Belt Championship thing, the rapper under waist like way before,
but he never gets credit for it. Jalen Ramsey is
one of the best players in football. I would say
he's a top ten if you were starting an NFL team,
not a quarterback. If you were starting a team, I
would imagine Jalen Ramsey's one of the top guys you
(02:49):
think about taking in the NFL. I think he's probably
I think he's a top two corner in the NFL.
I think it's him or Josh Norman as the best
two cornerbacks in the National Football League. And yeah, he
would be a guy that you would would be rare.
And so when a guy like that speaks out and
gives honest opinions, and again they're just his opinions about
quarterbacks around the NFL. You can either dismiss the comments
(03:11):
and say, well, he's just that's a guy just talking trash,
or you can look at it and go, well, I
don't know. You hear some of the stuff that he
had to say, and it seems like he pays attention
to what goes on in college. He's watching what's happening.
When he threw Josh Allen under the bus, it wasn't
like he just said, oh, this guy stinks. He gave
examples as to why this guy struggled against top tier
teams in college football. So I don't have an issue
(03:33):
with it. I wish more players are honest like that.
And Jalen Ramsey if if if this is how he
goes about his business, I'm good with it. And the
question about Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bill's quarterback who was
never taking an taking an NFL snap, Ramsey responded responded,
excuse me, I think Alan is trash. I don't care
what nobody say. He's trash and it's gonna show too.
(03:54):
That's a stupid draft pick to me. We play them
this year and I'm excited as hell. I hope he's
there start in quarterback. He played at Wyoming every time
they played a big school like they played and I
think it was Iowa not Iowa State, But what she
said is not a big school in his opinion, he
threw five interceptions and they lost by a couple of touchdowns,
saying he never beat a big school. So there was
there was data in reasons and why he thought that
(04:16):
josh Allen wasn't a good quarterback. But this conversation then
was was a a branching off of the conversation of
why Lamar Jackson wasn't drafted higher, and his explanation on
that and why he was wondering why Lamar Jackson wasn't
drafted higher was if he had the same traits as
Baker Mayfield, and Baker Mayfield went number one, and those
(04:40):
traits were worthy of the number one pick. Why did
Lamar Jackson last number thirty two? And why were other
quarterbacks taken before Lamar Jackson was That's where the point
ended up being, and Josh Allen's name was then brought
into it because of the fact that he was taken
ahead of Lamar Jackson. The other quarterbacks that he talked about,
and there were a bunch started out in a way
(05:00):
of who are the quarterbacks that you don't think suck?
That was the question to Jalen Ramsey. Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady,
Marcus Mariotto, he faces twice a year, Tara Taylor, he says,
is a better quarterback than he gets credit for. And
he goes on to say that Carson Wentz into Shawn
Watson from the Eagles and the Texans respectively, will be
battling for the next five or ten years for m
v PS. All of this is really good stuff, Jonas,
(05:22):
because we don't know what it's like to be a
cornerback in the National Football League and going up against guys.
And he has gone up against guys, and I should
leave out the point where he did say, or I
did leave out the point where he said Joe Flacco
sucks because he's actually played against Joe Flacco and says
that he was not impressed and thinks that Lamar Jackson
will have more of a role in Baltimore. But all
(05:44):
of this is analysis, whether it's taken from watching film,
from playing against guys, from from scouting. This is how
Jalen Ramsey has an opinion of this. All this is
all that we want from NFL players. I don't, Yeah,
I don't. I don't have an issue with it. Like
I said, if we get so tired of Belichick doesn't
give us any responses, we get so tired of Tom
Brady never gives us, gives us any real answers. Tom
(06:06):
Brady walked out of a press conference and that was
the story of the day because all he said was
it's ridiculous to ask about P. E. D. S. I'm
out see you guys, and that turned to do a
big story because he doesn't speak. If Jalen Ramsey is
going to open up and give actual and not just
surface sort of takes and surface sort of opinions and
(06:26):
provide data to go along with it. To your point,
that's I'm good with it. I don't. I don't have
an issue whatsoever. But I think he needs to be
careful of though. Is the more you say, the less
meaning that it has. And this is this is the
issue that that I would have with it. And I
don't know if it's if it's timing. If this was
going to be in a in a new stand coming
(06:47):
up in September, so the article ends up coming out
now but this is now the second week in a
row of a training camp where we've had Jalen Ramsey
in the news and it's from what he said and
did so for everything that we said about how great
of a player he is, he also has a pretty
strong voice because of how good he is Jonas. And
this is what worries me is that the more and
(07:08):
more that he talks, and I love the honesty, I
would not want it the other way around. I don't
want it like Bill Belichick. I don't want it like that.
But the more and more that he continues to talk,
the less and less everything that he said prior means
there's it's less weight. And that's where I think you've
got to be careful because if you're talking every single
week in making comments and strong comments about players, it's
(07:31):
just it's not gonna hold weight. We've seen it before
with Tara Owens, Jed Johnson, LaVar Ball, I mean, the
biggest one of all. The more he talks, the less
we listen. That's what scares me about Jalen Ramsey is
you gotta be you gotta be careful, you gotta watch.
It doesn't scare me, but you just gotta watch out
on how you deliver, because pretty soon, if you talk
too much, your words are gonna be empty. Well, um,
(07:52):
you saw the media's reaction when it came to Marshawn
Lynch after he refused to speak at the Super Bowl.
Every time somebody wanted to interview Marshawn Lynch, it was like, hey,
watch this, Hey Marshawn, your thoughts on the game? Got
no thoughts? But what are we doing tickling each other?
Like Jesus, the guy's not gonna speak, He doesn't want
(08:13):
to talk, so you just walk away. But everybody wanted
to go there. What's gonna happen now is every single
media member is going to try and get a sound
bite out of Jalen Ramsey. The sad part about this
whole conversation is that this wasn't caught on on tape,
Like there was no audio of it, because, like, I
have a buddy whose name is Alan. I would love
nothing more than to have a sound bite that I
(08:34):
could send to him that said Alan's trash. That's all
I want. But we don't have that now because Jalen
Ramsey did it for an interview with g Q. So
your point, yeah, every mic is going to be in
his face. Um uh, they're they're all going to be
talking to him. They're all going to to want to
get a sound bite out of him. It's just I'm
curious to see what he actually thinks about his own quarterback,
(08:57):
Blake Bortles. Um be, because I know that he gave
sort of a a a standard response of well, you know,
he's gotta do what he's gotta do, and I wish
he would have trusted him more and all that. But
if he were not his quarterback, how would he reacted?
Because Blake Bortles has been the laughing stock of quarterback
play in the NFL for the past couple of years.
He had a hit a good year last year. He
(09:18):
played pretty well in the postseason, but he's been the
butt of many jokes around the NFL, by media and
by fans, and so I find it funny that Jalen
Ramsey takes a shot at Ben Roethlisberger, who's got two
super Bowls, but with his own quarterback. Yeah, I wish
he would have trusted him. They do have they they
do have the the Steelers number Roethlisber. He's picked off Roethlisberger,
I think three times in his career, and we obviously
(09:40):
know what they did in the a f C Divisional
playoffs with getting a regular season win that they had earlier.
But yeah, to his point about Bortles as well, what
what's interesting about it is saying that he wished that
they had more confidence in him in that a f
C Championship game to throw the ball at the end
of the first half. They also asked how does he
do in practice? And he says, we don't go up
against him in practice, only in training camp? Do you
(10:03):
have the ones and the ones, saying that he goes
up against the scout team in practice leading up to games,
And then he said they didn't want to hurt his
confidence that going up against that Jaguars defense. Now there's
some there's there's bravado there for your own team and
what you do. But also you have to realize that
(10:23):
he's wearing the same helmet and jersey you are, so
even though he's not on the field at the same time,
he is your teammate. And that's not the that's not
the most glowing response that you would have. You would
hope that that defense could maybe toughen him up and
show that he can make the throws. Doesn't seem like
that's the case in Jacksonville. Be sure to catch live
editions of The Doug Dot Leap Show weekdays at noon
(10:43):
Eastern three pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
I Heart Radio app, and Gen Ramos is here as well.
In ninety minutes at John Ramos Show and New and Improved.
I don't know if it's gonna be a new format, Jonas,
I just know that it's going to be a new episode. Yeah.
I mean, you never can tell. Uh. Sometimes I can
(11:05):
just get the idea during the prep of the show.
And the reason I know about the prep of the
John Ramo Show is because it goes on while we
are doing the show. So I can sometimes see his
reactions and think, Okay, we got ourselves a winner, and
then other times I go, yeah, I don't think this
is gonna go real. Well, don't worry. It even happens
prior to the show. I noticed today that Robert Garrard,
(11:25):
executive producer, was working on The John Ramo Show as
we were trying to work on this show. So it's
a NonStop production of The John Ramo Show. And while
most TV shows are on hiatus in the summer, not
the John Ramo Show, new episodes whenever possible. Jalen Ramsey
could have his own TV show and it would be
pretty darn good. He's got an article in g Q
(11:47):
out and the Jaguars cornerback gave his analysis of I
don't want to say all of the quarterbacks in the
National Football League, but saying some would be an understatement
because there seems to be about I don't know, twenty
kedowns are so a different signal callers in the National
Football League, some good, some bad. But Jalen Ramsey just
giving his honest opinion of what he thinks of the
(12:09):
current state of quarterbacks in the National Football League, and
it's a mixed bag. Giving kudos to the likes of
Aaron Rodgers, Deshaun Watson, Tom Brady and not giving kudos
to such quarterbacks has Ben Roethlisberger, Andrew Luck and Matt
Ryan if he knew Matt Ryan's name. Those just some
of the quarterbacks that were brought up in this g
(12:30):
Q article. And how Joe Flacco, by the way, he
is not a fan of the Baltimore Ravens. Single call. Yeah,
not not a big fan at all. I think He
would speak for many and many fantasy football owners who
have had to sign Joe Flacco on a scramble, thinking
all right, this is the time, and then he gives
you a a twelve of nineteen buck twenty six, no touchdown,
no interception performance and you go ooh, there's a waste
(12:52):
of money. I go bye bye to my fantasy hopes
and dreams. UM. I am curious to think what Tom
Coughlin thinks about all this. I would love to ask
Tom Coughlin, are you okay with this? Because Tom Coughlin
and we all know that he's been essentially running the
show in Jacksonville. We know Doug Moron is the coach,
(13:13):
but Doug Moron is an extension of Tom Coughlin. They've
already punished Jalen Ramsey for issues he's had going on
social media, um criticizing local reporters there. This, this would
tell me that they've had conversations with him before about hey,
keep it cool, we don't need all this. And then
outcomes a g key article where he just lays waste
(13:35):
just seventy of the quarterbacks in the NFL. I can't
imagine Tom Coughlin's thrilled no. In Tom Coughlin likes to
run a tight ship, and that's why you get a
one week suspension for him. In the Dante Follower as well,
they want to keep things in order in Jacksonville. In
reading this piece, there are some who are I really
don't know if there are some. I gotta be honest,
I don't know if people are even offended at all
(13:57):
by these comments. Most of the things that I've heard
are like, good, he's speaking up. That was the message
that Bucky Brooks had from the NFL network as he
joined us earlier, but said if anybody does have a
problem with this article, well then they didn't get the
big picture of it. Here was Bucky Brooks earlier on
the show. Well, I think what you're hearing is the
pushback on a lot of people have their favorite quarterback.
(14:19):
A lot of people who are emphasize about all of
their quarterbacks their favorite quarterbacks being elite. Dude, h we
that are keys to playing with them or against them
are saying, no, these guys are fine and they're okay,
but there's some flaws with them. And the reason they
talked about the elite because a lot of times guys
are thrown into that elite quarterback circle easily, but really
(14:41):
the elast when you talk to players, it's Tom Brady,
it's Aaron Rodgers. They will throw Drew Brees in there,
and maybe Russell Wilson, but they're not a lot of
guys that they're seeing deserved to be in the v
I P Club. You've got mail? Can we next? Thank you?
We not have an email up when we're playing audio
from a computer, just maybe just log out for that.
(15:03):
Oh my god, there's a mute on It's a mute
at the top on outlook. Jesus, that was Bucky Brooks earlier.
We have a fractured team here at Fox Sports Radio.
But another fallout of this and and I think Bucky's
right where you've got, you know, a handful of elite quarterbacks.
(15:24):
But by the way, that before he got out the subject,
that's the equivalent to going to use the restroom like
a T. G. I. Friday's, and you peek into the
kitchen and you see the cook drop the burger on
the floor. That's what just happened here on Fox Sports Radio.
Uh one unread message in the inbox, Bucky Brooks laying out. Essentially,
(15:47):
there's there's a handful of elite quarterbacks that no matter what,
everybody's gonna say, they're great. Under that Jonas even there
maybe be good. There may be good quarterbacks at something
are great and something that are okay. They're okay quarterbacks.
It's some thinks thinking that some think are all right.
So you have various opinions on it, and I think
that's one of the things that Bucky is trying to say.
(16:07):
But what you have also got is you've got Jalen
Ramsey talking about his own quarterback. He was brought in
or Blake Bortle's name was brought into the conversation, and
he brought up that the team didn't trust that the
organization didn't trust Blake Bortles in that a f C
Championship game against New England and said that he and
said that he felt that they wished that they were
a little bit more aggressive. He also said that they
(16:28):
don't go up against the Jaguars offense during the season
and he joked that it's going to hurt his confidence.
But if you want to dig a little deeper into that,
there could be some issues there. Yeah, Um, when you
start to say when we've seen us a couple of
times in the NFL. UM and there could be more examples,
but just off the top of my head, the most
recently the Seattle Seahawks. UM. Before that, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. UM.
(16:52):
Before that, say the Chicago BEARSS to where you saw
a team whose defense was the star of the team,
regardless of when anybody says the eighty five Bears, it
was about their defense. The Seahawks, it was about that
legion of boom defense, that mentality they carried. For as
good as Russell Wilson became, he wasn't He wasn't as
(17:12):
good of a quarterback at that time because I think
he was still developing. And then the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
it was all about the defense. You know, John Gruden
get all the credit he wants, but that defense was
world class and they were the best in the league.
But what ends up happening is they become the star
and there's almost a divide. Well, it's all about the
team and not really, because I can remember Warren SAPs saying, well,
(17:35):
if we had um you know, uh, if we had
even the fifteenth ranked offense, we'd be the best team
in the NFL. Nobody could stop us, all right, So
what you're saying is that the offense isn't good enough.
It's all about the defense. If the offense could get
good enough, you would win more Super Bowls. Same with
the eighty five Bears who called out Jim mcmanhn for
not staying healthy from time to time. Um the same
with the Seattle Seahawks to where they were critical of
(17:57):
Russell Wilson and once um Marshaw Lynch left it just
so to me, he's kind of throwing shade at the
offense here. He's he's kind of calling out the coaching
staff for not letting Blake Bordles do this or not
letting him do that. And we know how that played
when Richard Sherman was trying to call out plays on
(18:18):
the sideline and telling the offense not to do this
during a regular season game last year. I just wonder
if at some point the defense becomes such a star
that they almost look down on the offense for not
being able to play at their level. And I wonder
if that does cost a divide and maybe that's a
bigger concern for you know, what I think is is
(18:38):
different in Jacksonville than the other situations that were brought
up is humidity and that Blake Bortles could lose his job,
that Jim McMahon was going to be the Bears quarterback.
There was no doubt about that. Russell Wilson was the
guy in Seattle. The Buccaneers, Brad Johnson was their veteran quarterback.
The Blake Bordles situation and this is why it may
(19:00):
be tough on on him specifically, is because there was
such a question about his status and if this team
takes a step back this year offensively. I know that
they made the commitment to Blake Bortles in the off season,
but this we've seen the Seahawks window of a defense.
To use them as an example, it's maybe five years,
six years at at most, and so you've got to
(19:23):
maximize every single one of those years. Jacksonville is taking
a risk with having Blake Bortles, but this puts him
even more in the spotlight. The divides, you really couldn't
argue with the success of those divides. Jodas because the
Bears want a super Bowl, the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl.
The Seahawks want a Super Bowl. Around the verge of
winning back to back ones, but in the end it
(19:44):
ends up crumble down. The Bears ended up crumbling. The
Buccaneers run didn't last as long as maybe some would
have hoped. So there's so there's that aftermath of it.
But yeah, I do think it's a legit problem just
because of the the status of Blake Bortles, of of
even just him keeping his job. And if now you
have defenders, it's not it's not like all of the
pressure is being put on the other eleven players on offense.
(20:07):
All of the pressure is being put on one Blake Bortles,
and that's different than the others. And we always hear
defense wins championships in sports, and it's true, defenses do
win championships. Um, you know what wins a lot of
championships Great offenses. And you can think that that's bs.
Think about it. Think about all the dynasties we've seen
just in the last twenty to thirty years in the NFL,
(20:29):
whether it was the Forts of the eighties, whether it
was the Dallas Cowboys of the nineties, whether it was
the Patriots most recently, what do they all have in common.
They're all known for great quarterback play and great offenses.
Nobody talks about the defenses. And it's true because that's sustainable.
A great quarterback can carry you to great places. Like
(20:53):
Bill Walsh was an offensive minded head coach. Jimmy Johnson, Yeah,
defense was important in Dallas, but it was all about
that offensive line and Troy Aikman and running the football.
Like even at one point during one of the Super Bowls,
they went into halftime trailing Buffalo and they ran the
same play to start the second half because they knew
(21:13):
they could wear out that Buffalo defense. So you can
you can talk all you want about, well, you know
it's our defense is going to carry this team. But
if you want to win a lot of Super Bowls
and you want to have sustained success, you need consistent, high,
high caliber play offensively or else it's not gonna happen.
And that's been proven in the NFL for the last
thirty to forty years. We've seen that. And and that's
(21:35):
that's the one thing I would say about Jacksonville if
if anything concerned me, not so much that he's honest,
it's the fact that he is sort of calling out
his offense, kind of implying that, yeah, they don't wanna
he's they're scared to put him up against us. Well,
if I'm if I'm Blake Bortles, I'm thinking, what the
hell is that? Okay, put me up against you guys?
(21:55):
Like if if the whole point is to get better,
what are we trying to do here? I think he
was trying to make the point of how strong their
defense is. And it can be taken a completely different way.
And it's the way that we're talking about right now
is that it's not about how great the Jacksonville defense is.
It's about how fragile that they have been handling Blake
Bortles and how concerned they are and how much pressure
(22:16):
is on him. By the way, I picked Jacksonville to
win it all this year. Like even all of this,
I I've there's I I think that the defense is
great enough. This fracture may not help, but I still
think that they are so elite on defense. No matter
what Jalen Ramsey says about any other quarterback in the NFL,
I think that they're going to win the Super Bowl.
You know what I do um most of the time,
(22:37):
because like Dan does a show here on Sunday's here
on Fox Sports, rade a great show with my Carmen
I do weekend overnights. Everybody that listens to my show
is hammered. So what I do is I usually pick
make my super Bowl picks every February. Not bad because

O'Neal appearance the teeny Bus. That's unbelievable. Thank you, Eric
Robarts back of the editing day. By the way, you
know Frank Pollock, our former tech producer the Lake Rate,

be Girth Brooks. True story, he said it on the air.
(26:43):
That's true. Talk about our mutual patchelor for baseball head
sent Mike for the den of jeans. Thank you for that.
Also exclusive, something you won't hear on any of the
show is Sam Donald going to start for the Jets
half not for you later on, but right now, just
because I want you to know where you can always
(27:05):
count on the genre almost show to give you the
inside scoop. It's time for this. Oh my god, I
love this clothes off story. Look, the Cleveland Browns have
(27:25):
only won one game in the past two seasons, but look,
on the down low, I heard HBO was thinking about
putting them on hard notes this season. Our ratings are
so damn low. Lebron James play eighty two games with
the Calves for the first time in his career this
(27:46):
past season, but on the down low, I heard he's
thinking of signing with the Lakers. I does the music stop?
What about different button? Leo mckin donald and won the
last two NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards. But
on the down low, I heard both guys are unhappy
(28:08):
right now and they might hold out for new deals.
Why does Jake Color look like he has no chin
to find out? Next? Other John Robos show? And now
these messages? This is bug ball, he can spin hair
comes Katie. This is our last episode. I firmly believe
(28:32):
that's a wrap on the k. Did someone spill a
gallon of coke on the board? By the way that
the Tim Alan version? Did Keane pick up a shift?
Let's here for Garth Brooks? Wait time out. Yeah, I
was gonna say, it doesn't really sound like Margarita. Well
(28:55):
it sounds like a cover. Okay, it really does. I
don't think this is Garth Brooks. I don't know. Maybe
I'm wrong Edity Bay, thank you for that. By the way,
we'll talk to We'll talk to Garth later on. We'll
ask him this is really him. Also coming up, I
know you've been waiting on this for a while. Monday
was National Left Hander's Day, so I will give you
(29:17):
my top ten left handed third string quarterbacks to play
in the SEC in the nineties. Trust me, there are
some stars on that list. But of course it's time
for one of my favorites. It's the John Ramos Show
mail bag. Look, this one comes from Arnie and Vermont.
(29:37):
Go ahead, Jonas, Hey, Hey, hey, hey, knuckle ahead. This
is Arnie in Vermont. Hey, John, I'm a big Arizona
Wildcats fan, and I think Khalil Tate might when the
highs in this year. What do you think knuckle ahead? Look?
(29:57):
Great question, Arnie. I like Lil Tate as well, but
know there's a pub down in Tucson and it has
happy hour that goes all the way from nine pm
on Wednesdays, and that's nice, so you should definitely check
that one out. Let's move on to Rob Detroit. John,
what the lines? Finally gonna cut the court with step Padfood?
(30:20):
He's not a good quarterback? Great question, Rob, Thank you
for asking. If there's just something about walking across the
email bridget two in the morning on a Saturday night
that really puts things in perspective. How about this mail
from Steven San Diego. I think, John, we lost the
Clippers and now we lost the Chargers. Why doesn't any
(30:41):
sports team want to stay in San Diego? Steve? Thanks
for checking in. You know I went to Sea World
with my kids a few weeks ago. A plays and
two hours turns out that none of the whales are
actually named Shamu, and I thought that was very interesting. Look,
that's all the time we have for tonight. A big
thanks to everyone who joined us including Garth Brooks for
(31:01):
me tight special guests. Sorry, gee Brooks, about to get
back you later on and Robert I'll catch you on
your backside. That was unbelievable. Um man, Oh my god,
I don't know why. Uh he said, take it away,
(31:23):
Jonas when a guy from Army who was like an
arty was calling in the old saying it's just like
riding a bike. Yeah that was a bike with one wheel.
Yeah that was Yeah, that was that was quite a ride. Maybe, man,
maybe when there's gaps between John Ramo shows, we should
(31:47):
just do dry runs in between. Oh my god, man,
I man, good stuff. I'm so glad that wasn't on
the air, like it was just a practice edition. I'm
so glad it just you know, we didn't try and
do it. One take on standby and we're back on
Fox Sports Radio. Oh man, that was too good. Um
