Speaker 1 (00:02):
Okay, Eric Dickerson, he d joins the program. So Eric,
how are you. I'm good, Fred, I'm really good. I'm good.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
After that Dodgers win last night, I got to say
I was. I wouldn't round, I'm around a television. I
had to watch it on my phone most of it
because I had to take my son to register for
I guess they have to have a weight class and
that the league he plays in, so he had to
go sit in the car and watch it. But it
was a really good game, man. I got to say that.
(00:31):
I mean, I think that the Dodgers. Like I said
earlier this year when I when I met the guy
from the Tampa Bay Rays, I wish I remember his name,
and I just asked him about the Dodgers baseball team.
I told this story a couple of times and I said,
who's the best team in baseball? He said, by father, Dodgers.
And I said, what makes the Dodgers so good? He
said they got everything. He said, they got pitching, they
(00:52):
got hitting. He said most of all, they got the
money and a good organization. So I mean it showed
last night. I mean they wouldn't dominant. I mean, I
think the thing That made me happy because I could think,
I can I can hear Timuless sort of saying this.
I said, Tommy, why come these guys don't pitch the
whole game?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I don't know, that's just a bunch of.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Because I was glad to see Yamamoto pitch that whole game.
And I've never even seen him smile before, and I
saw him smile when he left him mound because he
had to. I mean, I was having I'm like, don't
take him out. I said, don't take him out, just
let him pitch the whole game. And you know, it
was it was a real commanding win for the Dodgers
last night to win that baseball game, because I think
(01:35):
that what they've lost. They they've lost to this team,
what six times this season, I think five or six times.
They haven't beating him, han't beaten the record.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's it is interesting that, you know,
you hear people from different eras and and Eric and
I talk about this all the time when we played,
and how that the game is a little bit different.
But even you know, in all sports really, but baseball
in particular, you're paying Yeah, you're paying these guys pitchers
(02:04):
make a lot of money. I mean big time money
as you as we've seen over the last especially the
last few years, they're the guys making, you know, the
big time money, the big time long term contracts, sixty
seven years, two hundred and fifty three hundred million dollars,
and yet they don't allow them to go past one
hundred pitches. And I never understood that if you've got
(02:25):
a guy that's dominant, and you see that he's dominant
with your own eyes, yet you're gonna look at a
chart and tell you, well, this chart is going to
predict the next two innings, so I got to take
him out of the game. It just is baffling to
me when you can look at a guy and say
I am dominant, I got him. You know, it's like
(02:46):
it's second any sport there. You know, you know you
you hot with the you know you guys running the
ball down your throw. You look in your offensive lineman's
eyes like they can't stop us, they can't stop us.
Let's keep running that ball. They'll keep running that ball.
You know, most this time coach is gonna say, okay,
let's keep on, let's go and keep up, Let's keep
on running it, even though the book says we should
throw it on third and three. They can't stop the run,
(03:07):
so let's go. And it seems that analytics has taken
over and doesn't allow the eye test to be what
it was years ago.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I agree. I've never liked this analytics thing.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I always felt like as a as a player and
as a coach, if you walk out to the mound,
you say, how do you feel? Not how many pictures
have you thrown? How you feeling? And nobody's hitting you,
why would you take them out? It's like like you said,
like the running back were running the rock, We're running it.
We're picking up five, ten, twenty eight six yards to
carry and I say, you know what, let's start throwing
(03:41):
it now?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
For what?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Let me throw a pick? Why we want to throw
it now? We can't move the ball now. A running
game is not working again. So it's the same thing
when you got a picture that's hot, like like Yamamoto
was lest I was just hoping. I said, please don't
take him out. I mean, let him stand that. I
mean that the first BALLOTY hit a home r I
mean I'm sure that the brewers started. Okay, we got
this game you know this is gonna be our night tonight.
(04:06):
But after that, man, it was just dominant matter of fact,
you know, and me personally, I mean, I'm not a
baseball connoisseur like you riding and you you whatever your
name is, Fred, thank you. But you know what I did.
I googled, I say, what is a splitter?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Because if that last picture was like that last pitch
was like like it had you, it had him reaching
for it, and it's like a kind of a slow
fact think it's a fast it said. You think it's
a fastball and it breaks, I don't think a curve
and it drops down and it just it was I'm like,
that was a real impressive pitching exhibition last night. And
(04:49):
I'm promised I could hear Timy Lisorda saying that's what.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I'm talking about. See, that's what I'm talking about. So anyway,
I'm really happy for the Dodgers come in this. You
started talking about the Dodgers last segment. We were kicking
something around, so obviously the Dodgers and your friend with
Tampa Bay told you if the Dodgers have all the money,
they've got the best team, and they got all the money,
all right, somebody was thinking, you know, you know what
(05:14):
would be better for the game of baseball, and let's
equate it to all sports. It'd be better if a
small market team won in baseball or in football, which
it could happen by the way, a smaller market team,
it's just better. It's bad when the big market teams
with all the money went all the time. It'd be
(05:34):
better for the sport if the little guy won. Two.
I have very specific feelings on this.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
What do you think, well, Fred, I'm gonna say as
much a you know, it's about the money. I mean,
let's take let's take football, for instance, super Bowls, the
Super Bowl. Now, would you want to see let's just
say the Cincinnati Bengals and the uh let me see,
(06:02):
maybe it'll take it. We'll take a We'll take a
good mark, you know, a good team. But but it's
still a smaller market, the Buffalo Bills, let's use that, okay.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Or would you rather see.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
The Dallas Cowboys and the Raiders if they were really good?
What would you rather see?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Who? Where's the money?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Who?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Who? Those tickets are gonna sell like crazy?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Or if you got or if you've got you know,
the Brewers and the Arizona Arizona, the Diamondbacks. That's a
that's a smaller market. I mean, you know, people want
to see like like when the Yankees and and the
Dodgers played last year. I mean that was like TV.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
That was like heck, yeah, I mean, this is this
is great baseball, this is this is what it's all about.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I get what you're saying, Fred, I do understand it totally.
But I mean the viewers for history and all that,
they want, they want to see. They want to see
the big name teams play. They really do. I mean,
and it's I know, if you think it's probably unfair
to the to the other teams, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And I said I don't either. I don't either. I don't.
I don't think it's not fairt Hey, you know, get
more money and get better.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
That's that's what it comes down to, right, what it is? Well,
we said, you know life isn't fair. Well, it's not
fair to everybody. It's the life fair to everybody? Absolutely
not right. So if it's not fair to everybody, watch
you to be fair in sports. I agree. I agree.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
That's why that's why I'm that's why I don't like
they got the I don't like the salary cap thing.
I mean, that's like it's like if you work at
the TV station and they say, okay, you can only
make one hundred thousand dollars. You can't make no more
than a hundred thousand dollars. That's it. Nope, can't make
no more. We can make all the money, but you
can't make anymore. That makes no sense. I mean, I
just don't.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I don't. I don't like salary caps. Well, the reason
they have them is because they try to create a
sense of parody amongst themselves. Remember, the owners in any
league are partners, right, They are partners in the league.
They compete against each other. They want to win, but
they're partners, and really, what's good for one and their
(07:55):
mind would be good for all. Is it because we
all about care equally? Yeah? You know.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Is it more about the owners in them making more
money and smaller markets making more money or is it
what they claim to be. This is how we get
parody in the league and make all the teams competitive.
It's really about Pittsburgh or Cincinnati trying to make more
money or saving money as opposed to the Dodgers who really.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Don't care, They just want to win.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Where does their interest really lie the money part of
it or the competitive balance.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
It lies in both, because I think one is connected
to the other. It lies in both. First, anytime you
hear somebody going and understand, all these guys that own
teams are rich, I mean really rich, and it's hard
to imagine, but of the rich, there are some richer
than others.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, and if they're morning a team first of all,
nowadays in twenty twenty five, and this can go back
twenty five years to the turn of to two thousand.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
If you own a.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Sports team, that team cannot be your primary source of income, right,
That cannot be your primary source where you're looking at
the bottom line, going, this is how we make our money,
This is how we live day to day. This is
it your other businesses that allowed you to buy that
team as a luxury. Now, yeah, you can parlay it
(09:22):
like Jerry Jones has and San Krunky and the ones
that do it right into a big time money making venture,
but that can't be the why you get in it.
And the sole reason you're in it is I got
to make so much every single year to survive off
my sports team.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You can't do that.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I mean, and even winning, winning brings about should bring
about money. I mean, think when you get more fans,
you get more notoriety. You know, you get more commercials,
you get more airtime. When when you're a winning organization,
I mean, who wants to see a loser? I mean
it's no different if you're the home team and you
lose every game. You think fans going to say, Man,
(10:01):
I can't wait to go out there and see him lose.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Let me ask you one thing, Erk, Eric White, Yes,
who wants to see a loser? Right? That was your question?
That's the right. How about this? Who wants to own
a loser?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
But you know I agree with that too, Fred. But
you know I'm gonna tell you something, Man, I can
tell you this much here from from just going from
different organization, I go from going from Football'm gonna use
football instance and I'm gonna use the Rams, and I'm
gonna use the Colts. I mean those two because I
played for I played for both. Okay, the Rams that
we had great players, we had great we had we
had a lot of great players, but we didn't have
(10:35):
good people at the top. You know, running the organization
like they wasn't football Like john Shaw was not a
football guy. He was a numbers guy. He was all
about making Georgia money. And it wasn't like it is now.
It just wasn't like it is right now.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
But we had we had the players, but we didn't
have the people at the top like the forty nine
ers had Eddie de Bartoler Rdney you know how that
was over there. Yeah, okay, now going to the coats, Okay,
we had the money. The guy had the money, or
say had the money because his I think his business
was I can steal or something like that. But he man,
it was when I say at the top, how raggedy
(11:07):
it was? Oh my god, it was raggedy and said
raggedy is cush y'all guts? I mean and and and
it ran downhill. I mean it was just horrible. I mean, yeah,
we had the money, but but if you ain't running
it right at the top, for it, it starts at
the top.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You know that what they say, poop runs down here,
it don't run uphill. And that's and that's the truth.
But you know it's you know, that's the truth. I mean,
it really is. I mean, look at Jerry Jones. Jerry
Jones brought the Cowboys for't gonna say a little bit
of nothing, but he has turned.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
That into a true, true empire.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I mean he don't need to coy. You don't need
the Cowboys. I mean the Cowboys really signify who Jerry
Jones is. And then since they don't, because you know
Jerry like the Spotlight.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
But you know, when you talk about the Cowboys, you
talk about Jerry Jones, I mean who who owns the
Cincinnati Bengals?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Who who owns the Browns? Man? People don't even care?
Really like, huh who? We don't care? I want that team?
And they say what they say that the Green Bay Package
they're owned by the fans. Yeah, you're right, you're right. Hey,
we're giving away what have we given away? Uh? Two
parent Charger Colts tickets for Sunday's game plus something else
(12:15):
as well. So we're gonna put it all together, next
level chacouterie. Plus we're given Charger tickets away for the
game Sunday against the Colts. Two pair between now and

walked in here, Rodney Johanna came in. Has nothing to
do with sports. What are you? Siana Johanna? Here? Okayiana? Look,
(13:20):
hey Tiana? Oh wait Athana? All right? Ay Tiana. So
here's the deal. Tell me, tell me if you think
this makes sense. In Ohio, a woman really are all right?
In Ohio? Woman, can I please thanks? In Ohio woman
(13:42):
is in court. She faces ten years in prison. This
is her crime. She was collecting footsteps for the government.
Obviously she doesn't have any money, and she qualified for
food stamps. She took the food stamps. She went to
the store and she bought ingredients for baked goods. She
(14:03):
made the baked goods and then sold them. So let's
say cupcakes, cakes, any kind of baked good and she
sold them, and they say that she is stealing government
money and now is on trial for the possibility of
ten years in jail. What do you think about that.
That's absolutely ridiculous. Ten years in jail. Yeah, ten years,
(14:26):
ten years in jail for taking food stamps and making
her own baked goods. And then you said, what selling them? Yeah,
sell them with people, sell them.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
To people to help her get started or get going,
or get off welfare or whatever she's trying. She's making
an effort to try to get back on her feet,
whether then selling them or eating them herself.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Right, So she's not buying eggs and making her drug
in the morning, or she's not buying drugs either, she's
not buying drugs. No, she's buying this, making the bake
puts and selling them so she can make money. And
they're saying she is stealing money from the government because
she's doing that with the food stamps. She faces ten
years in jail. Can I say someone asked the question, Yeah,
(15:13):
ask a question. Can't ask the question. I gotta ask
the ultimate question. Is she black a white? Is she
black or white? Yes? I need to know that. That's
that plays a lot into it. Now, I just gotta
say it. All right, she's black, that we go. I
knew it, knew it, I knew it. I knew it.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I knew see I knew it. Thank you, sweetheart. I
knew it. I knew it. I knew it.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Of course he's stealing. They would rather have fifteen kids.
You know nothing. They would not rather her have fifteen kids.
And why because you're stealing. Then you're really stealing.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
You don't want to work, but you want to have
all these children for the government to take care. But
I'm trying to help myself, trying to have some kind
of income.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
But now you're gonna give me. They really put this
woman on try for that. They put her on trial.
She's facing ten years that is. But was I right?
I knew what color she was. You don't have to
yell out she's black. I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I asked.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
I asked what colors you? Is said, and what's the
lady that name? What's her name? Right?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
There was Johnna, Johannah, Johnna, yeah, Johna. She showed it
to me, she showed me the picture of it. Thank you, hey, Johnah,
how you doing?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
What's up? John what's up, Johnny. She can't hear me.
What's up? Johnnah? She said, Man, I.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
So messed up, Fred, because that's so jack up. I
mean that's Jackson, but that's Ohio too. I'm Ohio. They
got some crazy stuff going. It's all the drugs and
everything else, kids getting kidnapped, it's all kind of crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Happing on Hohio. What are you talking about in Ohio?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Kidnapped? Have you ever looked at stuff that happens in Ohio?
My good friend Jason, Jason Heelers from Ohio, he says.
He says, man, Eric, Ohio has everything crazy happened. And
I still started looking at looking on the internet, you know,
looking on TikTok, looking on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I'm like, is it happening Ohio? Yep, happening in Ohio
ten years. I mean I hate it. That's sad, Fred,
That's really wrong. That's wrong.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It's ridiculous. That's why you guys the woman really is
in court for that. They're gonnay to be some tenure.
I mean, you just saw a picture of her in court.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
It's hard to believe it because it's such a joke.
I mean it's crazy. I mean you got a judge
and a jury. Here's the video.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Now you're looking at the video, she's in court. Okay,
do you believe it now, Judge Black? You're black? Judge,
I don't know if the judge is PLO. I was
looking at that just showed to judge. Did he showed
the juj I just asked. I just asked the question, Fred.
We can't don't make a differeny if they don't make
a different to you Black, let me ask you this.
So let me just ask you this so we'll put
(17:52):
it to back. Yeah, Okay, you're saying if this woman
who took the food stamps made bake goods and sold them,
now it's on trial facing ten years in prison for
stealing for the government. If you're you're saying, if this
woman was white and did the same thing, she wouldn't
be on trial. She would win the Betty Crocker Good
(18:13):
Bake Off Award. You're damn right.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
She'd be on TV on Good Morning America, no telling
about what a great business she got and everything else.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
And she just wanted to think you want to thank
the government, yestad. This one's goin to go to prison, you.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Know, of course, Fred, how do you sound man? Ridney
say something riding used to not looking down. I gotta
come come to you. Fred, sed knows exactly what we're
talking about it right now. So but yeah, Fred knows exactly.
You know that's wrong, not that he not. Come on, Fred,
you know we live by two different laws. I mean,
(18:46):
come on, let's be for real. Can we get some
callers in on this. Let's put let's put it like that.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
No, we should make the calling eron. Hey, I just asked,
thank you, thank you, John, thank you for showing me that.
I really appreciate it. He says, saying, you wait a night.
All right, thank you, thank you. She ask her opinion
on what I dang. He said, her opinion. That's come back,
(19:12):
come back. They all right, I'm gonna ask. They want
to know if the woman was white, do you think
she'd be on trial facing ten years in jail.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
No, that we go, Jannah, thank you very much. You
may leave the room. Johannah, all right, simple as that.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Come on?
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yeah, you know, I mean I mean when I'm when
I say she'd be on good mayor in America, I'm
not joking.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
She was being good morning America, good morning call it.
Good morning, La, trying to pull herself up her bootstraps.
That's exactly what she's doing.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Great work, and she's trying to get herself out of
her own situation. Good on her, Good on her. That
is really sad that this that's what they're doing to
this poor woman.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I just can't. I don't know what to say, Fred,
I mean, hey, it is what it is. I thought
it was ridiculous. I do want to say that.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
So what happened. Janna often brings U stuff for our
show out here and she finds kind of interesting things.
She walked in during the break. She goes, here's something
UK I just can use on the show. I said, no, no, no,
we'll use that right now. That's how I found out
about it.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
But check it Outlet's see, you didn't even think about that,
did you.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You didn't think about what I said. You think I'll
go to God? No, you know what I thought. This
is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. That's what I thought.
This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. But
I did not think of it the way you did.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, because because Fred, see, we live in two different worlds,
we do. I mean, I mean not. You know, it's
it's it's it's funny, but we do. I mean, I'm
not complaining. I mean, hey, I'm not have no complaints.
Don't get me wrong. I would have it no other way.
But we do live in two different worlds. That's just
the truth, you know. And everybody's not like that. I
mean that that whoever, whoever brought this case against that woman,
(20:57):
I mean, think about that. You have to take time,
taking taxpayers money to take a woman to try to
put hand in prison. So what you're gonna give for
ten years in prison for baking some baked goods and
trying to better herself? What sense does that make? But no,
we got these murderers out here. Oh we're gonna let
them out of no bail, you know, and thief you know,
(21:17):
we got smashing grabs. Uh, we love you know, they
don't want to stow eight hundred dollars the stuff. So
that makes it okay, you know, I'm just that's just wrong,
That's all I gotta say.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I'm not no, I hear it, yep, no, no, no, I'm
not out. All right, let's do this. Let's give a
pair of tickets for the Chargers and Colts and everything
else that's going on with it. Eight six, six, nine
eighty seven two five seventy. Rodney would call her number

(23:11):
I'm in LA County. I think it's La taxes. Just
bit you that? Oh do we there? Did we say
La Caches? Yes? Kidding?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I'm in La County for sure. No, it's La County
I live. Yes, I know, trust me. But yeah, well
maybe no. Guess what.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Maybe it was no tickets one, no tickets, no tickets
for me to go to the little game. Tell you
you would want the secruitary board. Though, it's pretty good,
the great it is. It is good. You're right, all right,
we're giving one more those away next hour. Rams in London,
Rams in London.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
When you guys played, would you think that's cool we
get to play in London? Or would you think what
a gigantic pain in the ass this is? Well we
went in nineteen eighty six. That was my fourth end
of the league. I was kind of excited to go
to London. I really was, you know, I tell my
London story. Oh yes, please, Jimmy. Yeah, let's say. I said,
(24:11):
we played in London and Ady c I'll make it
so much. They just kind of make it short of
they can. So anyway, we go to London, we play
and we get in, we get in everything again. I
think we get there on our Tuesday winndas. Anyway, so
the guys get in, they're gonna go out to a club.
I said, man, I'm not going to the club, and
like I said, no, I go tomorrow. So anyway, they
go out next morning practice Lee Boy and got said, man,
it was a girl that she was looking for you
like crazy. I'm like really, I said, well, she looked
(24:31):
like man, she was beautiful, man, she was tall. She's
I don't really like Blum. You said, She's like she's
like Christie Brinkle. I'm like really, he said, yep, I said,
I'll be there tomorrow. Sure enough, I go to the club.
She's there.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
She's German and she's from Germany. She was about five eleven,
pretty girl. We hung out the whole time for it,
the whole time, you know, back then. You know, we
didn't have no cell phones. Really, we had you know,
pages and all that kind of stuff. So make a
long story short. You know, you know we kept in
touch just a little bit, but I always wonder what
happened to her. So every time I go to London,
every time, I'm always stopped.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
When you hung out a little bit? How much hanging
out did you do? Anyway? We hung out? This put
it like that. You know, we don't aircan you know?
We don't know what I'm talking about. We hung got
to know each other. You got to know each other.
We got to know each other. Yeah, we know each other,
you know. Yeah, So anyway, we got to know each
other a little bit.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
So anyway, every time I go to London, I mean seriously,
somebody come up to me I'm and say you're every Dixon.
I'm always thinking you're gonna say you know my mom.
I think i'm your son and your daughter. I'm always
afraid that I'm serious. I said, somebody come up and
say think you know, and I would say where your mom?
(25:38):
You're probably right, we hung out a lot.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Let's put it like that. Did you Once you guys
left town? Do you ever hear from her again. Yeah,
we talked with you know, Fredd. It wasn't like it.
It wasn't like now.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
You know, we never have self you have the voice maschage,
like you have the answer machine at home, the pager.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
But you know, and they think about the time difference.
I mean, wasn't they didn't have to.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
We didn't have real cell phones like you know, you
could you know, Google and texts and all that kind
of stuff and had that kind of stuff. So we
just kind of lost touch. But I really, seriously, I
have to have a picture of her. She's sitting in
my lap in my room. I always wonder what happened, Well,
what happened to her?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Up right now? I don't know a name. Oh, I
don't know her name. I don't know her name.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
So many years ago me, you're talking about forty some
years ago. Fred Jesus, that sound crazy, though, I can't
believe I said that party.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Is a good guard. What happened? What happened?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Man?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I'm just saying, yeah, those days and no cell phones,
no cancers, no camera. Yeah yeah huh.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
But every time I go there, I think that somebody
gonna say, you Erd Dixon. Yep, I think I'm your
you know my mama may yeah, well your mom at
I know, I do know, but it ain't happened.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yes, so I'd have to go. I'm not I'd have
to go on this trips.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
And I was glad that that has that happened to you,
Fred when you traveled your your adventures. When you're doing
the Olympics around the world, Fred, have you encountered such
an experience like Eric just described?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
No, I have not Rodney, no, no, no, no. Freds
a married man, right, how dare you nobody? Would you
ever think that of me? Hey? Fred went always man
wasn't always married? Fred? Fred used to ramble and run
the rule around the world like the best of them. Man,
check it out.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Can you see Fred even trying to throw it wrap down?
Show me give me your how's your wrap Forred?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Eric?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
What?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Hey? What's up are you doing? My name is Fred? Fred?
Talk to here?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
You go?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You going? Fred? See a whole lot of nothing. Fred
just sounds like you sound like you've got more in
your mouth. Why are you making me do that? Because
I don't do that. I'm just I'm just saying, my god.
So anyway, I guess you didn't mind the trip to London, Eric,
(28:16):
I loved it. I had a great time in London. Fun. Yeah,
and we did it when we did it. I went
over there a couple of times and we didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
It was always I don't know about you, Eric, but
I think it was. They only did it in preseason, right,
preseason wasn't regular season. It wasn't it wasn't a regular
season game. So this is what makes it different. These
games that are you know, in uh in London or
Brazil or Mexico City that they're playing overseas. Now everything
what Jacksonville plays, what three games every single year over there.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I believe it's like their facto.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Home stadium when they go over to London and play,
and a lot of people believe that that's eventually that's
going to be Jacksonville's home. But yeah, we only do
it in the preseason. I think it's a different deal
now that you have a regular season game, and some
of these games will determine, you know, the outcome or
playoff implications as you go forward, you know, and so
(29:14):
depending on your team and how comfortable they are with
traveling overseas, one of those games could be a pivotal
game whether you make the playoffs or not. So it's
it's critical you got to go. I don't know when
they leave nowadays, I don't know when the Rams left,
and you know, did they leave yesterday, do they leave
on Monday? To get you know, kind of acclimated to
(29:35):
the time change and the different culture and different everything.
But it's stressful because you try to keep the week
as normal as possible. But that's difficult when you're you know,
on an eighteen hour flight to get over there, and
then you've got the time change and then you're trying
to focus to get ready for a game.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
So it's it's a little bit different.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, and you got to, like you just said, right,
some of these games mean something like think about the
Charges and the Chiefs played. That's the conference game, you know,
and the Chargers beat the Chiefs there, so you know
that game meant that, that game meant something we bought
at the end, right at the end.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Of the season where it's like tiebreakers and all that
these may come into play. The Chargers got after him
and won that game overseas, and and then you know,
remember that contrary we talked about before the game, Fred
is that there was you know, it was technically a
home game for the Chargers, and the fans were up
in arms because they wanted the money back and all
those things. And then you win that game, and that's
(30:31):
an advantage Chargers at the end of the day if
it ends up being a tiebreaker and they could win
the division based on the game played overseas.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I'm wondering, so Jacksonville plays over there a lot, obviously
they want that. Does that count if you're the home team?
Is a home game for you? Do you get that revenue? Oh?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I don't know about the revenue. I don't know about
the revenue. Certainly certainly is a home game, okay, because
you're losing the revenue if you're not playing at home.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Yeah, right. I wonder if that's why they're so apt
to jump over there and take that money. The NFL
is going to be international anyway they have been, but
the goal is to be more international. London's going to
get a team if and when they expand London, we'll
get a team that will can you can you match
that team in Brazil? Could you imagine that?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
M Yeah, it's very interesting team team. Yeah, you know,
he would have a corner on the on the free
agent market. There w'd be a lot of folks wanted
to play for that Brazilian team. It wouldn't be a
bunch of little football players running a round over that.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I don't think that is a realistic possibility Brazil. I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I'm just saying, can you imagine in Brazil a Latin
American country? My god, the guys, look, I ain't come
back in the United States. I'm not gonna stay over here.
W't make Brazil my ome.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Forard. NFL Spotlight is presented by Board. All right, coming
up this hour. Oh, there's a workout at Dodgers Stadium
about two point thirty. We're anticipating going out to David
Vassa Off David. The clubs are working out
Okay, Eric Dickerson, he d joins the program. So Eric,
how are you. I'm good, Fred, I'm really good. I'm good.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
After that Dodgers win last night, I got to say
I was. I wouldn't round, I'm around a television. I
had to watch it on my phone most of it
because I had to take my son to register for
I guess they have to have a weight class and
that the league he plays in, so he had to
go sit in the car and watch it. But it
was a really good game, man. I got to say that.
(00:31):
I mean, I think that the Dodgers. Like I said
earlier this year when I when I met the guy
from the Tampa Bay Rays, I wish I remember his name,
and I just asked him about the Dodgers baseball team.
I told this story a couple of times and I said,
who's the best team in baseball? He said, by father, Dodgers.
And I said, what makes the Dodgers so good? He
said they got everything. He said, they got pitching, they
(00:52):
got hitting. He said most of all, they got the
money and a good organization. So I mean it showed
last night. I mean they wouldn't dominant. I mean, I
think the thing That made me happy because I could think,
I can I can hear Timuless sort of saying this.
I said, Tommy, why come these guys don't pitch the
whole game?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I don't know, that's just a bunch of.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Because I was glad to see Yamamoto pitch that whole game.
And I've never even seen him smile before, and I
saw him smile when he left him mound because he
had to. I mean, I was having I'm like, don't
take him out. I said, don't take him out, just
let him pitch the whole game. And you know, it
was it was a real commanding win for the Dodgers
last night to win that baseball game, because I think
(01:35):
that what they've lost. They they've lost to this team,
what six times this season, I think five or six times.
They haven't beating him, han't beaten the record.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's it is interesting that, you know,
you hear people from different eras and and Eric and
I talk about this all the time when we played,
and how that the game is a little bit different.
But even you know, in all sports really, but baseball
in particular, you're paying Yeah, you're paying these guys pitchers
(02:04):
make a lot of money. I mean big time money
as you as we've seen over the last especially the
last few years, they're the guys making, you know, the
big time money, the big time long term contracts, sixty
seven years, two hundred and fifty three hundred million dollars,
and yet they don't allow them to go past one
hundred pitches. And I never understood that if you've got
(02:25):
a guy that's dominant, and you see that he's dominant
with your own eyes, yet you're gonna look at a
chart and tell you, well, this chart is going to
predict the next two innings, so I got to take
him out of the game. It just is baffling to
me when you can look at a guy and say
I am dominant, I got him. You know, it's like
(02:46):
it's second any sport there. You know, you know you
you hot with the you know you guys running the
ball down your throw. You look in your offensive lineman's
eyes like they can't stop us, they can't stop us.
Let's keep running that ball. They'll keep running that ball.
You know, most this time coach is gonna say, okay,
let's keep on, let's go and keep up, Let's keep
on running it, even though the book says we should
throw it on third and three. They can't stop the run,
(03:07):
so let's go. And it seems that analytics has taken
over and doesn't allow the eye test to be what
it was years ago.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I agree. I've never liked this analytics thing.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I always felt like as a as a player and
as a coach, if you walk out to the mound,
you say, how do you feel? Not how many pictures
have you thrown? How you feeling? And nobody's hitting you,
why would you take them out? It's like like you said,
like the running back were running the rock, We're running it.
We're picking up five, ten, twenty eight six yards to
carry and I say, you know what, let's start throwing
(03:41):
it now?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
For what?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Let me throw a pick? Why we want to throw
it now? We can't move the ball now. A running
game is not working again. So it's the same thing
when you got a picture that's hot, like like Yamamoto
was lest I was just hoping. I said, please don't
take him out. I mean, let him stand that. I
mean that the first BALLOTY hit a home r I
mean I'm sure that the brewers started. Okay, we got
this game you know this is gonna be our night tonight.
(04:06):
But after that, man, it was just dominant matter of fact,
you know, and me personally, I mean, I'm not a
baseball connoisseur like you riding and you you whatever your
name is, Fred, thank you. But you know what I did.
I googled, I say, what is a splitter?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Because if that last picture was like that last pitch
was like like it had you, it had him reaching
for it, and it's like a kind of a slow
fact think it's a fast it said. You think it's
a fastball and it breaks, I don't think a curve
and it drops down and it just it was I'm like,
that was a real impressive pitching exhibition last night. And
(04:49):
I'm promised I could hear Timy Lisorda saying that's what.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I'm talking about. See, that's what I'm talking about. So anyway,
I'm really happy for the Dodgers come in this. You
started talking about the Dodgers last segment. We were kicking
something around, so obviously the Dodgers and your friend with
Tampa Bay told you if the Dodgers have all the money,
they've got the best team, and they got all the money,
all right, somebody was thinking, you know, you know what
(05:14):
would be better for the game of baseball, and let's
equate it to all sports. It'd be better if a
small market team won in baseball or in football, which
it could happen by the way, a smaller market team,
it's just better. It's bad when the big market teams
with all the money went all the time. It'd be
(05:34):
better for the sport if the little guy won. Two.
I have very specific feelings on this.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
What do you think, well, Fred, I'm gonna say as
much a you know, it's about the money. I mean,
let's take let's take football, for instance, super Bowls, the
Super Bowl. Now, would you want to see let's just
say the Cincinnati Bengals and the uh let me see,
(06:02):
maybe it'll take it. We'll take a We'll take a
good mark, you know, a good team. But but it's
still a smaller market, the Buffalo Bills, let's use that, okay.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Or would you rather see.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
The Dallas Cowboys and the Raiders if they were really good?
What would you rather see?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Who? Where's the money?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Who?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Who? Those tickets are gonna sell like crazy?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Or if you got or if you've got you know,
the Brewers and the Arizona Arizona, the Diamondbacks. That's a
that's a smaller market. I mean, you know, people want
to see like like when the Yankees and and the
Dodgers played last year. I mean that was like TV.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
That was like heck, yeah, I mean, this is this
is great baseball, this is this is what it's all about.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I get what you're saying, Fred, I do understand it totally.
But I mean the viewers for history and all that,
they want, they want to see. They want to see
the big name teams play. They really do. I mean,
and it's I know, if you think it's probably unfair
to the to the other teams, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And I said I don't either. I don't either. I don't.
I don't think it's not fairt Hey, you know, get
more money and get better.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
That's that's what it comes down to, right, what it is? Well,
we said, you know life isn't fair. Well, it's not
fair to everybody. It's the life fair to everybody? Absolutely
not right. So if it's not fair to everybody, watch
you to be fair in sports. I agree. I agree.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
That's why that's why I'm that's why I don't like
they got the I don't like the salary cap thing.
I mean, that's like it's like if you work at
the TV station and they say, okay, you can only
make one hundred thousand dollars. You can't make no more
than a hundred thousand dollars. That's it. Nope, can't make
no more. We can make all the money, but you
can't make anymore. That makes no sense. I mean, I
just don't.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I don't. I don't like salary caps. Well, the reason
they have them is because they try to create a
sense of parody amongst themselves. Remember, the owners in any
league are partners, right, They are partners in the league.
They compete against each other. They want to win, but
they're partners, and really, what's good for one and their
(07:55):
mind would be good for all. Is it because we
all about care equally? Yeah? You know.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Is it more about the owners in them making more
money and smaller markets making more money or is it
what they claim to be. This is how we get
parody in the league and make all the teams competitive.
It's really about Pittsburgh or Cincinnati trying to make more
money or saving money as opposed to the Dodgers who really.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Don't care, They just want to win.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Where does their interest really lie the money part of
it or the competitive balance.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
It lies in both, because I think one is connected
to the other. It lies in both. First, anytime you
hear somebody going and understand, all these guys that own
teams are rich, I mean really rich, and it's hard
to imagine, but of the rich, there are some richer
than others.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, and if they're morning a team first of all,
nowadays in twenty twenty five, and this can go back
twenty five years to the turn of to two thousand.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
If you own a.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Sports team, that team cannot be your primary source of income, right,
That cannot be your primary source where you're looking at
the bottom line, going, this is how we make our money,
This is how we live day to day. This is
it your other businesses that allowed you to buy that
team as a luxury. Now, yeah, you can parlay it
(09:22):
like Jerry Jones has and San Krunky and the ones
that do it right into a big time money making venture,
but that can't be the why you get in it.
And the sole reason you're in it is I got
to make so much every single year to survive off
my sports team.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You can't do that.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I mean, and even winning, winning brings about should bring
about money. I mean, think when you get more fans,
you get more notoriety. You know, you get more commercials,
you get more airtime. When when you're a winning organization,
I mean, who wants to see a loser? I mean
it's no different if you're the home team and you
lose every game. You think fans going to say, Man,
(10:01):
I can't wait to go out there and see him lose.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Let me ask you one thing, Erk, Eric White, Yes,
who wants to see a loser? Right? That was your question?
That's the right. How about this? Who wants to own
a loser?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
But you know I agree with that too, Fred. But
you know I'm gonna tell you something, Man, I can
tell you this much here from from just going from
different organization, I go from going from Football'm gonna use
football instance and I'm gonna use the Rams, and I'm
gonna use the Colts. I mean those two because I
played for I played for both. Okay, the Rams that
we had great players, we had great we had we
had a lot of great players, but we didn't have
(10:35):
good people at the top. You know, running the organization
like they wasn't football Like john Shaw was not a
football guy. He was a numbers guy. He was all
about making Georgia money. And it wasn't like it is now.
It just wasn't like it is right now.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
But we had we had the players, but we didn't
have the people at the top like the forty nine
ers had Eddie de Bartoler Rdney you know how that
was over there. Yeah, okay, now going to the coats, Okay,
we had the money. The guy had the money, or
say had the money because his I think his business
was I can steal or something like that. But he man,
it was when I say at the top, how raggedy
(11:07):
it was? Oh my god, it was raggedy and said
raggedy is cush y'all guts? I mean and and and
it ran downhill. I mean it was just horrible. I mean, yeah,
we had the money, but but if you ain't running
it right at the top, for it, it starts at
the top.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You know that what they say, poop runs down here,
it don't run uphill. And that's and that's the truth.
But you know it's you know, that's the truth. I mean,
it really is. I mean, look at Jerry Jones. Jerry
Jones brought the Cowboys for't gonna say a little bit
of nothing, but he has turned.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
That into a true, true empire.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I mean he don't need to coy. You don't need
the Cowboys. I mean the Cowboys really signify who Jerry
Jones is. And then since they don't, because you know
Jerry like the Spotlight.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
But you know, when you talk about the Cowboys, you
talk about Jerry Jones, I mean who who owns the
Cincinnati Bengals?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Who who owns the Browns? Man? People don't even care?
Really like, huh who? We don't care? I want that team?
And they say what they say that the Green Bay Package
they're owned by the fans. Yeah, you're right, you're right. Hey,
we're giving away what have we given away? Uh? Two
parent Charger Colts tickets for Sunday's game plus something else
(12:15):
as well. So we're gonna put it all together, next
level chacouterie. Plus we're given Charger tickets away for the
game Sunday against the Colts. Two pair between now and

food stamps. She took the food stamps. She went to
the store and she bought ingredients for baked goods. She
(14:03):
made the baked goods and then sold them. So let's
say cupcakes, cakes, any kind of baked good and she
sold them, and they say that she is stealing government
money and now is on trial for the possibility of
ten years in jail. What do you think about that.
That's absolutely ridiculous. Ten years in jail. Yeah, ten years,
(14:26):
ten years in jail for taking food stamps and making
her own baked goods. And then you said, what selling them? Yeah,
sell them with people, sell them.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
To people to help her get started or get going,
or get off welfare or whatever she's trying. She's making
an effort to try to get back on her feet,
whether then selling them or eating them herself.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Right, So she's not buying eggs and making her drug
in the morning, or she's not buying drugs either, she's
not buying drugs. No, she's buying this, making the bake
puts and selling them so she can make money. And
they're saying she is stealing money from the government because
she's doing that with the food stamps. She faces ten
years in jail. Can I say someone asked the question, Yeah,
(15:13):
ask a question. Can't ask the question. I gotta ask
the ultimate question. Is she black a white? Is she
black or white? Yes? I need to know that. That's
that plays a lot into it. Now, I just gotta
say it. All right, she's black, that we go. I
knew it, knew it, I knew it. I knew it.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I knew see I knew it. Thank you, sweetheart. I
knew it. I knew it. I knew it.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Of course he's stealing. They would rather have fifteen kids.
You know nothing. They would not rather her have fifteen kids.
And why because you're stealing. Then you're really stealing.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
You don't want to work, but you want to have
all these children for the government to take care. But
I'm trying to help myself, trying to have some kind
of income.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
But now you're gonna give me. They really put this
woman on try for that. They put her on trial.
She's facing ten years that is. But was I right?
I knew what color she was. You don't have to
yell out she's black. I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I asked.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
I asked what colors you? Is said, and what's the
lady that name? What's her name? Right?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
There was Johnna, Johannah, Johnna, yeah, Johna. She showed it
to me, she showed me the picture of it. Thank you, hey, Johnah,
how you doing?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
What's up? John what's up, Johnny. She can't hear me.
What's up? Johnnah? She said, Man, I.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
So messed up, Fred, because that's so jack up. I
mean that's Jackson, but that's Ohio too. I'm Ohio. They
got some crazy stuff going. It's all the drugs and
everything else, kids getting kidnapped, it's all kind of crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Happing on Hohio. What are you talking about in Ohio?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Kidnapped? Have you ever looked at stuff that happens in Ohio?
My good friend Jason, Jason Heelers from Ohio, he says.
He says, man, Eric, Ohio has everything crazy happened. And
I still started looking at looking on the internet, you know,
looking on TikTok, looking on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I'm like, is it happening Ohio? Yep, happening in Ohio
ten years. I mean I hate it. That's sad, Fred,
That's really wrong. That's wrong.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It's ridiculous. That's why you guys the woman really is
in court for that. They're gonnay to be some tenure.
I mean, you just saw a picture of her in court.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
It's hard to believe it because it's such a joke.
I mean it's crazy. I mean you got a judge
and a jury. Here's the video.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Now you're looking at the video, she's in court. Okay,
do you believe it now, Judge Black? You're black? Judge,
I don't know if the judge is PLO. I was
looking at that just showed to judge. Did he showed
the juj I just asked. I just asked the question, Fred.
We can't don't make a differeny if they don't make
a different to you Black, let me ask you this.
So let me just ask you this so we'll put
(17:52):
it to back. Yeah, Okay, you're saying if this woman
who took the food stamps made bake goods and sold them,
now it's on trial facing ten years in prison for
stealing for the government. If you're you're saying, if this
woman was white and did the same thing, she wouldn't
be on trial. She would win the Betty Crocker Good
(18:13):
Bake Off Award. You're damn right.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
She'd be on TV on Good Morning America, no telling
about what a great business she got and everything else.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
And she just wanted to think you want to thank
the government, yestad. This one's goin to go to prison, you.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Know, of course, Fred, how do you sound man? Ridney
say something riding used to not looking down. I gotta
come come to you. Fred, sed knows exactly what we're
talking about it right now. So but yeah, Fred knows exactly.
You know that's wrong, not that he not. Come on, Fred,
you know we live by two different laws. I mean,
(18:46):
come on, let's be for real. Can we get some
callers in on this. Let's put let's put it like that.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
No, we should make the calling eron. Hey, I just asked,
thank you, thank you, John, thank you for showing me that.
I really appreciate it. He says, saying, you wait a night.
All right, thank you, thank you. She ask her opinion
on what I dang. He said, her opinion. That's come back,
(19:12):
come back. They all right, I'm gonna ask. They want
to know if the woman was white, do you think
she'd be on trial facing ten years in jail.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
No, that we go, Jannah, thank you very much. You
may leave the room. Johannah, all right, simple as that.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Come on?
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yeah, you know, I mean I mean when I'm when
I say she'd be on good mayor in America, I'm
not joking.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
She was being good morning America, good morning call it.
Good morning, La, trying to pull herself up her bootstraps.
That's exactly what she's doing.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Great work, and she's trying to get herself out of
her own situation. Good on her, Good on her. That
is really sad that this that's what they're doing to
this poor woman.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I just can't. I don't know what to say, Fred,
I mean, hey, it is what it is. I thought
it was ridiculous. I do want to say that.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
So what happened. Janna often brings U stuff for our
show out here and she finds kind of interesting things.
She walked in during the break. She goes, here's something
UK I just can use on the show. I said, no, no, no,
we'll use that right now. That's how I found out
about it.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
But check it Outlet's see, you didn't even think about that,
did you.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You didn't think about what I said. You think I'll
go to God? No, you know what I thought. This
is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. That's what I thought.
This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. But
I did not think of it the way you did.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, because because Fred, see, we live in two different worlds,
we do. I mean, I mean not. You know, it's
it's it's it's funny, but we do. I mean, I'm
not complaining. I mean, hey, I'm not have no complaints.
Don't get me wrong. I would have it no other way.
But we do live in two different worlds. That's just
the truth, you know. And everybody's not like that. I
mean that that whoever, whoever brought this case against that woman,
(20:57):
I mean, think about that. You have to take time,
taking taxpayers money to take a woman to try to
put hand in prison. So what you're gonna give for
ten years in prison for baking some baked goods and
trying to better herself? What sense does that make? But no,
we got these murderers out here. Oh we're gonna let
them out of no bail, you know, and thief you know,
(21:17):
we got smashing grabs. Uh, we love you know, they
don't want to stow eight hundred dollars the stuff. So
that makes it okay, you know, I'm just that's just wrong,
That's all I gotta say.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I'm not no, I hear it, yep, no, no, no, I'm
not out. All right, let's do this. Let's give a
pair of tickets for the Chargers and Colts and everything
else that's going on with it. Eight six, six, nine

Rams in London.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
When you guys played, would you think that's cool we
get to play in London? Or would you think what
a gigantic pain in the ass this is? Well we
went in nineteen eighty six. That was my fourth end
of the league. I was kind of excited to go
to London. I really was, you know, I tell my
London story. Oh yes, please, Jimmy. Yeah, let's say. I said,
(24:11):
we played in London and Ady c I'll make it
so much. They just kind of make it short of
they can. So anyway, we go to London, we play
and we get in, we get in everything again. I
think we get there on our Tuesday winndas. Anyway, so
the guys get in, they're gonna go out to a club.
I said, man, I'm not going to the club, and
like I said, no, I go tomorrow. So anyway, they
go out next morning practice Lee Boy and got said, man,
it was a girl that she was looking for you
like crazy. I'm like really, I said, well, she looked
(24:31):
like man, she was beautiful, man, she was tall. She's
I don't really like Blum. You said, She's like she's
like Christie Brinkle. I'm like really, he said, yep, I said,
I'll be there tomorrow. Sure enough, I go to the club.
She's there.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
She's German and she's from Germany. She was about five eleven,
pretty girl. We hung out the whole time for it,
the whole time, you know, back then. You know, we
didn't have no cell phones. Really, we had you know,
pages and all that kind of stuff. So make a
long story short. You know, you know we kept in
touch just a little bit, but I always wonder what
happened to her. So every time I go to London,
every time, I'm always stopped.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
When you hung out a little bit? How much hanging
out did you do? Anyway? We hung out? This put
it like that. You know, we don't aircan you know?
We don't know what I'm talking about. We hung got
to know each other. You got to know each other.
We got to know each other. Yeah, we know each other,
you know. Yeah, So anyway, we got to know each
other a little bit.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
So anyway, every time I go to London, I mean seriously,
somebody come up to me I'm and say you're every Dixon.
I'm always thinking you're gonna say you know my mom.
I think i'm your son and your daughter. I'm always
afraid that I'm serious. I said, somebody come up and
say think you know, and I would say where your mom?
(25:38):
You're probably right, we hung out a lot.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Let's put it like that. Did you Once you guys
left town? Do you ever hear from her again. Yeah,
we talked with you know, Fredd. It wasn't like it.
It wasn't like now.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
You know, we never have self you have the voice maschage,
like you have the answer machine at home, the pager.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
But you know, and they think about the time difference.
I mean, wasn't they didn't have to.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
We didn't have real cell phones like you know, you
could you know, Google and texts and all that kind
of stuff and had that kind of stuff. So we
just kind of lost touch. But I really, seriously, I
have to have a picture of her. She's sitting in
my lap in my room. I always wonder what happened, Well,
what happened to her?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Up right now? I don't know a name. Oh, I
don't know her name. I don't know her name.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
So many years ago me, you're talking about forty some
years ago. Fred Jesus, that sound crazy, though, I can't
believe I said that party.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Is a good guard. What happened? What happened?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Man?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I'm just saying, yeah, those days and no cell phones,
no cancers, no camera. Yeah yeah huh.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
But every time I go there, I think that somebody
gonna say, you Erd Dixon. Yep, I think I'm your
you know my mama may yeah, well your mom at
I know, I do know, but it ain't happened.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yes, so I'd have to go. I'm not I'd have
to go on this trips.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
And I was glad that that has that happened to you,
Fred when you traveled your your adventures. When you're doing
the Olympics around the world, Fred, have you encountered such
an experience like Eric just described?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
No, I have not Rodney, no, no, no, no. Freds
a married man, right, how dare you nobody? Would you
ever think that of me? Hey? Fred went always man
wasn't always married? Fred? Fred used to ramble and run
the rule around the world like the best of them. Man,
check it out.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Can you see Fred even trying to throw it wrap down?
Show me give me your how's your wrap Forred?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Eric?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
What?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Hey? What's up are you doing? My name is Fred? Fred?
Talk to here?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
You go?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You going? Fred? See a whole lot of nothing. Fred
just sounds like you sound like you've got more in
your mouth. Why are you making me do that? Because
I don't do that. I'm just I'm just saying, my god.
So anyway, I guess you didn't mind the trip to London, Eric,
(28:16):
I loved it. I had a great time in London. Fun. Yeah,
and we did it when we did it. I went
over there a couple of times and we didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
It was always I don't know about you, Eric, but
I think it was. They only did it in preseason, right,
preseason wasn't regular season. It wasn't it wasn't a regular
season game. So this is what makes it different. These
games that are you know, in uh in London or
Brazil or Mexico City that they're playing overseas. Now everything
what Jacksonville plays, what three games every single year over there.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I believe it's like their facto.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Home stadium when they go over to London and play,
and a lot of people believe that that's eventually that's
going to be Jacksonville's home. But yeah, we only do
it in the preseason. I think it's a different deal
now that you have a regular season game, and some
of these games will determine, you know, the outcome or
playoff implications as you go forward, you know, and so
(29:14):
depending on your team and how comfortable they are with
traveling overseas, one of those games could be a pivotal
game whether you make the playoffs or not. So it's
it's critical you got to go. I don't know when
they leave nowadays, I don't know when the Rams left,
and you know, did they leave yesterday, do they leave
on Monday? To get you know, kind of acclimated to
(29:35):
the time change and the different culture and different everything.
But it's stressful because you try to keep the week
as normal as possible. But that's difficult when you're you know,
on an eighteen hour flight to get over there, and
then you've got the time change and then you're trying
to focus to get ready for a game.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
So it's it's a little bit different.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, and you got to, like you just said, right,
some of these games mean something like think about the
Charges and the Chiefs played. That's the conference game, you know,
and the Chargers beat the Chiefs there, so you know
that game meant that, that game meant something we bought
at the end, right at the end.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Of the season where it's like tiebreakers and all that
these may come into play. The Chargers got after him
and won that game overseas, and and then you know,
remember that contrary we talked about before the game, Fred
is that there was you know, it was technically a
home game for the Chargers, and the fans were up
in arms because they wanted the money back and all
those things. And then you win that game, and that's
(30:31):
an advantage Chargers at the end of the day if
it ends up being a tiebreaker and they could win
the division based on the game played overseas.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I'm wondering, so Jacksonville plays over there a lot, obviously
they want that. Does that count if you're the home team?
Is a home game for you? Do you get that revenue? Oh?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I don't know about the revenue. I don't know about
the revenue. Certainly certainly is a home game, okay, because
you're losing the revenue if you're not playing at home.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Yeah, right. I wonder if that's why they're so apt
to jump over there and take that money. The NFL
is going to be international anyway they have been, but
the goal is to be more international. London's going to
get a team if and when they expand London, we'll
get a team that will can you can you match
that team in Brazil? Could you imagine that?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
M Yeah, it's very interesting team team. Yeah, you know,
he would have a corner on the on the free
agent market. There w'd be a lot of folks wanted
to play for that Brazilian team. It wouldn't be a
bunch of little football players running a round over that.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I don't think that is a realistic possibility Brazil. I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I'm just saying, can you imagine in Brazil a Latin
American country? My god, the guys, look, I ain't come
back in the United States. I'm not gonna stay over here.
W't make Brazil my ome.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Forard. NFL Spotlight is presented by Board. All right, coming
up this hour. Oh, there's a workout at Dodgers Stadium
about two point thirty. We're anticipating going out to David
