Ten miles an hour and I saw the police car

So yah, man, you were in the white Testa Rosa.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
I was in the white Testa Rosa.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, yep. You know, the whole state knew who that
was in that car.

Speaker 5 (01:56):
It probably did. It wasn't a lot of white Testa
Rosas in that area.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Ye. So yeah, but I like one. But about you afraid?
Did you have to drive fast?

Speaker 1 (02:02):
I'm sure no no, no no, no, I don't like
to drive.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
You had to be fast, Freddy.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
No, I don't to drive fast. No, no, no, I'm
very conservative when I drive.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
I know I when you were young, not now when
you're not when you're one hundred right now, I'm just
saying when.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
You were young.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Alright, I've got a different question for you. How did
you fit? Oh?

Speaker 3 (02:22):
It was easy?

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Uh, matter of fact, what they did was they dropped
the seat and slid it some kind of slid, had
to slip back.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
But a lot of men, a lot of big guys,
that man, Reggie Dawson.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Tell I mean, I mean how many offensive lineman defensive
line that you played with? Guys and that bought these
little sports cars and I have them mad to get it,
you know, kind of refitted to.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Get a get awto a little bit. Reggie Dawson's one
defensive lineman for the Rams. I mean, he had a
he had a sweet one room and I want a
kid he'll had the four to fifty Mercedes being you know,
to the top down and his head well you can
see his head over the top. That was funny. Overuse.
Tim was Kim was. Kim was like six six or
six seven.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
I remember when they first came out with the uh
you know, the the well it's not first came out
the new model of that Mercedes you're talking about the
sl and we i't even mention no names, but he had,
uh he had one of them and was red and
he was so excited. But man, and it's before before

(03:29):
he uh, he got it, you know, kind of retrofitted
for him when he put the seat back, because nobody
can send the back seat anyway, so you know, so
they fit him up for the guy. But he he
didn't get it fitted. He just wanted to drive it
so fast and so quick, you know, right after he
got it. Man, it took him thirty minutes to get

(03:49):
in that car it started.

Speaker 6 (03:51):
To get it going, and then just to see him
driving off, it was like it was so dangerous because
his knees were all upon him and he could barely
get in the car and he was bunched up and
scrunched up and all that kind of I said, Man,
you can't drive that no more.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
You go. All it takes is comfortable. No, no, no,
I'm comfortable. I'm comfortable, correctly exactly. Man, just give up
the car for like three weeks a month.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
They'll fit it up for you.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
But you can't spend thirty minutes trying to get in
the car and then getting out was worse to the
point where they filmed him. They filmed him getting getting
out of the car. Uh and the player's lot at practice,
and the defensive coaches put it on the film and
the team meeting and put it on the film and

(04:38):
the team meeting trying to get out of the car.
I mean, his bags were falling all out. Stuff was
falling out of his pocket and he just the business
like he said, his head sticks out of the convertible.
But it was cold, so he couldn't, you know, he couldn't.
He couldn't. He didn't have the top down, but just
seeing out, oh man. And they put it on tape

(05:00):
on the film on the team meeting room. Oh man,
we couldn't even They had to shut the meeting down
after that because people's.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Man, right, and at the best of the team meetings
and stuff, all the funny stuff that go in the
locker rooms. Oh my god, some of that stuff you messed.
So that's what you that's what I missed. That's what
I missed. I missed. I missed the locker room with
the guys and man if some of the stuff is
just funny, man, it just iss. Well, I know, I

(05:28):
won't forget. I think I think we played the Lions.
I think it was that we played the Lions my rookie,
my rookie season, and we come, we're coming, We're coming
to the huddle and I think Dennis Harror had passed
gas and you know, everybody out sudden just broke like

(05:48):
we had to call a time out. That's how bad
it was. We win the game, so it's kind of
laid the game, but it was funny, man like, what.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
The hell, what the hell are you eating?

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Man was wrong with Uh yeah, some of the film
sessions classic the film sessions after a game and usually
you know, it was out because you didn't want to
laugh when you lost. But after win sometimes and guys,
would you know, make a stupid player or bonehead player
or something like that, and the coach we rewinded, I
mean just some of the conversations that would happen when

(06:22):
somebody would either go the wrong way, get beat, or
or do something stupid, and it were just the jokes
that would come out during those meetings were hilarious, and.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
That was for me.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
It was the first time I saw when I got
to the NFL, the first time I saw a player,
you know, doll cuts a coach out and and and
get into a fight. Yeah in the NFL. You know,
in college, you know, you don't do that. You don't

(06:55):
do that so much because they got you know, college
coaches got that authority on you. That's why so many
them don't want to go to the NFL. But they
got that that leverage over you, and they control your
future a little bit. So you know, you don't see
that very often. But I remember, yeah, one of the
offensive linemen and our offensive line coach got into it
in the meeting and and to the point where they
were throwing blows at it.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Well, that happens, that happened to the Raiders when he
was at the Raiders. Oh yeah, we were, we went,
we were up in Flagstaff practicing, and we thought.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
It was the players.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
You know, we thought that, you know, the defense was
down there getting into a fight. So you know, offense,
we kind of kind of ran down. And remember remember
remember Elvis Pattersons.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Oh yeah, toast.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Man man Elvers Patterson was strong. Couldn't cover, but he
was strong. Elvis Patterson body slammed the defensive back.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Coach.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
I forgot that man, man man, he was body slammed it.
I mean shook him up. It was it was bad.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Uh want to Elvis Patterson.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
They were suspended for one game, you know, apologize to
the team, apologized to to you know, the coach put it.
It was it was he was he was really good
on special team. They got one game. Imagine imagine boy,
the slamming the coach right now? Yeah, to go define
and what would you want? How would you be suspended for?

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Couldn't they just cut?

Speaker 4 (08:12):
You would be looking over now now you you think
you think they're gonna cut who you think they cut
Aaron Donald? If you buy to slam the coach just
when he people's playing, they cutting, I would say, no,
they cut the coach was the coach?

Speaker 2 (08:27):
They would depend on who it was. That's that's exactly.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
The guys.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
You know, they were getting away with it. Yeah. Yeah,
the locker room talk, man, it's just oh man.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
And and by talking about that, the girls and all
that kind of stuff. Man, man, it's it's be young again, Fred,
to be young again, y'all. Probably y'all plan to do
that at the news station. I'm sure y'all don't do
that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Eric, we were journalists.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yeah, I'm sure.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
That's why I'm sure y'all work journalist.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, just like what was it? It was the guy?
Uh the tape you have of Paul Moyer talking old
girl and Martin talking about you know, her leaving fort
lunch and having a few pops. Come back. You got
going to lunch, have a few pops. You just zerned
into a whole different.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Person out there, girl, not a whole different person. Boy changing.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
The cats come in and say, coming in from the
night before, and just you know, some of them in
the same clothes, and he just just hearing this story
stories Like, man, why you put it all the way
out there in the street talking loud in the locker room.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Man, Man, you should have been there. You should girls.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Why do you call me?

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Why you call.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Speaking of girls? Speaking of girls? I mean, what what's
up with Michigan with that deal?

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Oh? Man?

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah that a little bit last week? Boy, we're here
when that went down. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
God, that's a mess. Oh mess, Man, that is a mess.
I mean, don't look.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
We know, and I can tell you a lot of
coaches be messing with their.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
Assistance and students and everything else.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
But you can't be going to nobody's house, nobody's house,
getting the butter Knight. You know what you're gonna like,
I said, spread yourself today on spread some butter. Good God,
almighty man, it was. It was a gil was got
for Michigan. Yesterday was the game. I was teasing you.
He's a Michigan went to Michigan. He said, Man, it's

(10:44):
I'm almost embad to say I went. I went to
school there.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Well, what happened was, and I'm sure you guys have
running off about it.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
He started a relationship with a staffer and suddenly like.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Exactly what she was always this laid with the staffer thing.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Right, Well, she obviously was wearing vallid in whatever he
did because he was able to give her I believe,
a thirty five thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Raise from.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Ninety nine thousand, and she her job responsibilities didn't change.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Somehow this thing went south and that's when he kind
of lost it. He Yeah, that's when he kind of
lost it. And now you look at it, this guy
replaced him. Harball. He had a dream job. All of
a sudden he found himself in a position where if
he could just control himself, who knows if he had

(11:41):
been really successful at Michigan for a number of years,
maybe the NFL. You don't know, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
Yeah, I mean not city again, and it's not right
by no means. But it's so many of them guys
doing that. I mean, I'll tell you what, I guarantee you.
I said, I bet some of them mother coaches and
some of the people the presidents at school, like, oh
manbody out me now they got they go out my

(12:08):
situation because when that happened, everybody started blinking, bucking the eye.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Oh looking, why you better not be doing that kind
of crip.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
He found himself, and I thought it was chilling last
week when he was basically arraigned. He's sitting on zoom
in jail. Can you imagine you were the head coach
the Michigan Wolverines two weeks ago and now you're sitting
on a chair in jail in jail. Whites Yeah, Sleeting, yeah, Fleeting,

(12:47):
I mean, wow, how does that happen?

Speaker 3 (12:51):
That' said? Fall from grace is what you call it?

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Big time, big time, And then you know the story
is going, you know, keep I mean, it's got so
many legs of this.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
Have you seen the memes.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Have you seen some of them. I'm like, oh my god,
it's so fair. It's sad, but it's funny, but it's said.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, and then you wonder how long did they know?
You know, that was the very immediately after. How long
did they know I meaning Michigan before they they they
charged them or fired him, you know, because it was
very kind of convenient that it happened right after the
Ohio State game.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
I look at it like this, the minute they really
got what they needed, he was gone. It wouldn't have
mattered if it was after the Ohio State game or
after the third game, or even before the Ohio State game.
That was very serious that you.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Don't think they knew before before this because of course
it's coming out now that you know that they were
investigated and then they there was there was nothing to
really keeps the investigation going, but they were. They were
investigating in it, like from September.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
Because she said it was nothing going on. I mean,
they asked her for she said nothing. She said nothing
going on.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
So yeah, but they're not you know what that just
told me. Rodney, You make a valid point, But I
believe they reacted the minute they had it buttoned up.
In other words, Okay, we've got it figured out now.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah, on that then they.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
Had it figured out when they went to the girl's
house and she told me, you know, she remember she
had called the police and said he had been stalking her.
That's when they that's the thing, that's when everything blew up,
because I don't think they really knew until that happened.
And then he goes there somebody gonna kill himself and
all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
I mean, look, but she confessed. I mean because first
she denied it. She denied it, denied it, and then
they they came to her with evidence that we know
you've been you and haven't been seeing each other. And
then she finally confessed and and he was probably telling her,
no matter what, don't say anything, don't say and she confessed,

(15:01):
and that's when it all blew up, and they had
they had to do something to your point, friend, all.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Right, we're underway. The Ford NFL Spotlight is presented by Ford.
All right, when we come back, let's get into what
the Rams did yesterday.

Speaker 7 (15:22):
Make AM five to seventy LA sports a preset before
you plug in your phone. Presets in the iHeartRadio app
now available with Apple car Play and Android autom just
another easy way to listen to LA's best sports talk.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, come on, it's the Ford, NFL Spotlight, Roddy P.
Fred Rogan, the Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Let's go, Freddy, Let's go.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
All right?

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Uh so uh Lflaski says the Rams are gonna win
the Super Bowl. I don't think anybody could argue they're
very good. How Davante Adams got hurt yesterday, the Lions
got screwed on a touchdown call. But aside from that,
the Rams are winning the games now they need to win.
They do look good. How much of a loss is

(16:11):
Demonte Adams.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
I think it's a big loss, and that you know,
when I saw saw him stop, I knew because I've
had that happen exactly what he did the hamstring, you
get off the leg and kind of jump in the air.
And I don't know how long he'll be out. I mean,
he won't be one hundred percent. I don't care if
they went to the super Bowl. It'll be rapped if
he was one hundred percent when they went to if
they go to the super Bowl, but he'll be missed

(16:36):
for sure.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
I mean there's no doubt about that. You know.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
I think one thing that that the Rams did yesterday
finally tighten They tightened the defense upon in the second
half because Jared Goff was picking him apart. I mean,
one thing I said about Jared Goff, if you give
him time, Yeah, you give him time.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
I mean he'll kill you.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
I mean, but if you put some pressure on him,
getting his face and hit him a couple of times.
And I kept saying, they don't hit him, he gonna
pick him apart, and he and he was. They had
one hundred and thirty eight yards three touchdowns. But I
think what the Rams did really good with shut down
that the Lions running game with Gibbs and Montgomery.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
They shut that down.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
I think I think Gibbs had thirty two thirty eight yards,
the Montgomery had thirty two yards. And you know, Matt
Staffing had a great game. And I've said this and
hear me say this all the time. If the Rams
don't turn the ball of the multiple times, you can't
beat them. Don't they beat themselves. I mean, if they
don't turn to ball them at all, I don't think
you beat them at all. I mean I think they're
hard to beat because, you know, I think that's when
mc big really comes into He's got the talent, he's

(17:31):
got the coaching. I mean, he's got the he's got
the players. Blake Korum and Killing Williams did a good
job running football. I mean again, let let me get
that offensive line some credit.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
I think people forget that.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
The way, the way, the reason you were able to
run the football is because them guys up front, them
guys up front blowing up some holes.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
I'm like, I'm up there watching, like, damn, look at
that hole.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
You know, so wow, so so you old lineman, you know, yeah,
you old lineman.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Thank you, thank thank you. And I'm I'm sure you
running back.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
And thank you. Were you ready to do Philip Rivers
and come back and put that Duce's nine on and
come on and run run the rock a little bit?

Speaker 4 (18:04):
Hell no, ain't no food. I mean, I mean, remember
they hit me. They hit me every chance they get.
So no, I'm not trying to do that. But but
other than that, Fred, like I said, if they don't
turn the football over, this team is very difficult for
you to beat them.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
I don't, I don't.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
I think they could win the Super Bowl. They just
don't turn the ball over, you know, And and they
turn once, they turn up multiple times. Every game they
turned the ball multiple times they lost.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, they are they right now. They're the most complete
team to me. They you know, like you said, the
defense came to play in the second half yesterday, and
when they do. They got a bunch of young dogs
on that defense, which is is great for them. And
they got a little they got a little taste of

(18:49):
it last year and in the playoffs and going into
Philly and and really had a chance to win that game.
And so they know what it tastes like. They know
what it feels like. So I would not be shocked
if the Rams go and win it this year because
they have everything going for them. I think the Seattle
game is gonna be big coming up here. But you know,

(19:13):
and you know, home field. I don't think for most teams,
and especially for the Rams, playing in LA it's not
like being in Green Bay getting at home field. But
I think for the Rams, for them to play at home,
I think that could be a really good thing for
them if they play all these playoff games at home.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
That's what we were saying earlier in the Europe. That's
the key.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Eric.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
I was telling Rodney we were in Cincinnati over the weekend.
It's snowing and it's three or four degrees, and my
son said, now, I know it's like to be Joe Burrow.
If you're a kid that's never been in snow, but
you only watch football on TV, you have no understanding
of what it really means, right, I mean, you see it,
it's snowing.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
You know the.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Conditions are difficult, but unless you've actually been in snow,
you're old. Now I get it. I'm just not seeing it.
I can appreciate what they're going through.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
Now.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
That's like I think it's vital that the Rams have
home field as much as they can.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
You you're right, Fred. I mean, let me tell you something.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
When when you're in that cold weather and your body
is not used to it, you know it's tough. I mean,
if if you ask the player, would you rather play
in seventy degree weather or seven below weather? Seven seven below?
I think all of them say give me that seventy degrees.
I mean, because you can do more things. You don't
worry about the cold weather, and you know, with people
at home, They're like, they don't like that cold out there. Man,

(20:30):
It's it's cold out there and you're getting hit them
hits to be hurting, and you know it's it's it's
tough playing the cold weather. But speaking of Joe, Joe
Burrows and Cincinnati, I heard you know that, you know
he said that, you know it's I guess it's no fun.
You know it's no fun to him over there right now.
And uh they were talking about them possibly you know,
she'd he retire and all that kind of stuff. I'll

(20:53):
say this much here when I went out and I
think of Joe, but I know that feeling extremely well. Fred,
when you're losing, I don't care how much money you're making.
Say you're making thirty for the man, man, it don't
make no difference. Man, it's no fun. I told you
I took a million and a half dollar pay cut
to get out of Indianapolis, which I could have that
money back, but I wanted to. I want to get out.

(21:14):
Man's that's how bad it is. I mean, you are
miserable because you know what, you want to have a chance.
And I won't forgive. When Carson Palmer said this about him,
when he went there. He said he shouldn't go there.
That team they're not gonna They're not gonna give him
what he needs. And it's showing that they're not giving him.
I mean, he's such a great quarterback, you know, i'lenn
tell you it would be a great scenario. And I

(21:34):
heard this, you know, and when I was, you know,
at the game now yesterday, that if that scenario will
come up, if say we won the Super Bowl this
year and Matt Stafford decided to retire, we would go
after Joe Burrows. I mean I would give up four
number one for him, three number I would give that
up to get him.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
He's young for sure, that that would be a game changer.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
But you know, like going back to the cole Weather, Yeah,
Fred co Weather plays a big actor in a lot
of these football games. If you're from Green Bay, if
you played game, if you're playing, if you if you
from Chicago.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
You have an advantage. Yeah, it definitely matters.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
I mean, it definitely matters. And the win, you know,
when the wind kicks up, especially for a quarterback, win
kicks up. That's the worst of it all. But yeah,
and you better have a good running game if you
if you're going back to playing the cole And some
of these teams don't every you know, the league is
so pass happy right now that a lot of teams
don't don't think about the run until it gets to

(22:32):
be December, December and January in the playoffs and they,
oh my god, we got to run the football. But
the Rams have both. They're balanced, and the thing about
them is that they they just it feels like in
EDI's right, they don't They played mistake free. They don't
turn it over. It's tough for a team to beat
them unless they beat themselves because they they're gonna score points.

(22:55):
They gonna find a way to score points, and they're
gonna you know, they're they're so good on so many areas.
The receiving cord, tight end is good, offensive line is
good and healthy again and and so and that young
defense is playing well. So they're gonna be They're gonna
be a tough team to beat. And like I said,
playing and it's you know, the cold definitely is a factor,

(23:16):
but the comforter being comfortable playing at home if you're
in the Rams, nothing like that. That's gonna be. Yeah,
there's gonna be nothing like especially in the playoffs, so
they need to be fighting for that home field.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Agree, So I think it's so.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Let me ask you guys.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
Okay, so let's say that they beat Seattle this week. Uh,
do they need to win the rest of the games,
because I know they clinched the playoffs. But I say
they beat Seattle, and let's say that you know who
they play out They play Atlanta and then they play Arizona.
So let's just say out of those three games left,
got three games left, let's say they win two of them.
Is that is that they clinch home field advantage.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Well, let's see if they look at it like this,
if they beat Seattle but lose the final two, they'll
finish ahead of Seattle because they have to beat them.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
They beat him, so they'll have the tie break.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Right now, the Bears are ten and four, the Eagles
are eight and five.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, I don't see the Eagles last in the bad Rodney.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Nine and five.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
And although the Bears are winning, they're winning a lot
of close games, a lot of games that are tight,
and I think they're still young, and especially a quarterback.
Although Caleb Is is definitely proving a lot of folks
wrong that doubted him. I think he's playing extremely well.
But uh, but yeah, I don't see I don't see

(24:43):
the Bears going deep really in the playoffs. I think they'll,
you know, they'll they'll make it as good for them.
I think next year is their year that they can
take off and be different.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
You know.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
The team that's that's interesting that you don't you know,
you thought they were on their role is Green Bay,
you know, and they go to you know, Denver. Denver
beat them yesterday. But I thought Green Bay had started
to play like the best, second best team outside of
the Rams in the NFC. But then they, you know,
they lost to Denver and I'm not sure where they going.

(25:15):
They might not even win their division. So it's wide open.
But I think of all years and this year in particular,
if the Rams can secure home field, that is a
direct path and a buy, a direct path to the
super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (25:30):
And I'm gonna tell another team to watch in the
AFC is Jacksonville.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
You know, nobody talking about Jacks. Nobody talking about Jacksonville. Man,
what they ten and four in Jacksonville. They've come home.
I think the best team is still in the AFC.
I think it is the Broncos. And I've been saying that.
You know, they they talked about New England, But I see, man,
I haven't seen a lot of what was it I'm
talking about. I've seen a lot of Denver. I haven't

(25:57):
seen a lot of I've seen a lot of Jacksonville.
I haven't seen a lot of the Patriots. That's it,
the Patriots. I haven't seen a lot of their games.
That's how some of the game. Just then when they
had they had Buffalo down at one point twenty one,
nothing of twenty one, six two, only seven, and they
came back and got beat. I mean, you know a
good football team, man, you don't. You don't do that.
I mean that they used to cold Weather, they played
at home, they played him at home and lost at home.

(26:17):
But I think the AFC, to me, the best team
is the Broncos. Man. That defense they got and you know,
you talk about both Knicks and nothing fancied about him.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
But I think he's getting getting the job done. O.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Man, Yeah he is. I don't know why they owned
him so hard.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
All he does win all he doesn't win, and win
a lot Layton games where he's making the plays. Layton
games for Denvick. And like you said, they got that defense.
Come come playoff time. You know, the defense and a
steady quarterback is going to be a great recipe for them.
And that's another team. If they get some home field there,

(26:50):
that's an advantage for them.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Oh, that's a big advantage. They'll win.

Speaker 5 (26:53):
I think they'll they'll win.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Let me tell you what before the season kept I
guarantee you if we were and at the beginning of
the year going okay, as we head for the finish line, here,
give me the top three teams in the AFC, no one,
no one would have said Denver, New England and Jacksonville.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
I agree with that.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
You said Kansas City for sure, Yeah, you said Kansas City.

Speaker 5 (27:20):
Who else in the AFC you talk about? You know, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Yeah, Buffalo.
To me, they winning man with the one dimensional I
still say they just there one dimensional team. I mean,
they getting it done, but they don't think that they
can't beat I don't think they can beat Denver. I

(27:40):
don't think if they had to have their daycount and
they beat Denver.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
All right. The FOID NFL Spotlight is presented by Ford.

So here's the bottom line. I'm the first guy to
tell you. I'm the first got to tell you I'm
not a strip club guy. Really haven't been to one.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Never, never, nothing.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
In high school one time high school, we snuck in once,
just one time.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
Yeah, honestly, fred Freddy, God loved God, God. You know,
God despised a lie.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
I know he does. And you know what has despised
me a lot time.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
This Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Time it was called the Highlighter and I think it
was on like twelfth Streak in Phoenix. We snuck in there,
you know, and I was so like, oh my god,
what are we doing here? But we snuck in so
one time? How many people? How many people?

Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, how many people were with you? You said we
snuck in three three? Your buddy snuck in.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Yeah, there's no way we looked old enough to do anything.
I don't even know why they believed us and let
us in.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
What was her name? What was what name?

Speaker 4 (30:08):
What do you think for it? I mean, who do
you think I think I'm talking about the bouncer? Yes,
I know you didn't know meet one of the strippers name.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Oh no, no, no, Eric, I didn't know Bunny.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
No.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
I didn't meet Bunny Bunny.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
I didn't meet Bunny Star.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
I didn't meet Star, I didn't meet Tiffany, I didn't
meet anybody. All right, didn't meet Sunshine. My bad? I
have been to another strip club.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Okay, what did I tell you?

Speaker 1 (30:36):
My bad? Are you ready for this?

Speaker 2 (30:39):
You ready?

Speaker 3 (30:39):
Yeah? All right.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
So years ago, when we go on the road and
we do live sports casts or newscasts back to the city,
the only way you could get scripts is to have
them facts to you, believe it or not. There was
no iPad or anything. So we were in Minneapolis. It
was a Sunday Lakers and Timberwolves. It was an off

(31:02):
day and we needed scripts and we set up on
the street because we would do locations and scenics and
we had to figure out where to get the scripts
faxed to. And there was one business open on this street.
It happened to be a strip club. So we walked
in and said, listen, what's your number? Yeah, listen, well,

(31:26):
I don't think it's the strip club you've ever been to,
or Eric, what's the phone number? Can we have these
scripts faxed? And they said sure, and we said great.
Let me tell you I am not an officionado of
strip clubs, because I really have not gone. This was tragic.

(31:50):
I mean, this was like fifty two year old people
and let's say, not in the greatest shape. And I
walked in and saw that and it was very he said,
it was like one guy sitting there. I don't even
know if he was awake, and it was not a
pleasant experience. So that was the other time I've been
in a strip club, and I remembered.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
It was this, like in the afternoon fit it was
probably so six is four, seven is five?

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Probably eight o'clock at night.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
Okay, I guess, okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Anyway, well let's just get back to this. But apparently
important the strippers do quite well, and this is where
this originates, and they do something called top toes for toys.
And during a period of time, if you attend a
strip club and you, you know, contribute to the dancers,

(32:44):
they turn around and contribute to buy toys for kids
in hospitals. And this year they have raised one hundred
and eighty three thousand dollars to buy kids. It's toys
for Christmas. I think it's great.

Speaker 5 (33:01):
Who raises the strippers of the club, the strip club,
Who raised this money the stripper strippers.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yeah, Oh, isn't that great?

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Nice?

Speaker 3 (33:11):
That's great. Are they really going to spend the money
on the toys?

Speaker 2 (33:14):
They do? They?

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Well, yes, they spend the money on the toys. They've
been doing it for a number of years now, twenty
twenty four, thirty eight thousand dollars on toys, and this
year they're anticipating one hundred and eighty three thousand dollars.
Isn't that great?

Speaker 3 (33:30):
That's fantastic, that's fantastic. Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
That's good.

Speaker 5 (33:34):
Great, But still still the strip bar. But I get it,
and you read a lot of those No, no, I
don't go strip story.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
Yeah, I don't, don't.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
I didn't.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
I didn't tell you my I tell my strip bar story.
Didn't the last time went to a strip bar? No,
I tell you no, well the last time. But I'm
gonna take me to you two stories. As matter of fact,
this is a quick one. So we we we in
Denver playing the Broncos. And that's a guy named I
won't see his name. Many he didn't like me. He
was another man. He didn't like me, and I mean
he was just he's just one of them, kind of guys.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
So he's you know, we're in the cab.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
He's bugging me, talking noise, and I'm just I'm like, George,
I said, leave me alone, man, leave me alone. So
so something just said. I said, I said, George, how
long have you been in Indianapolis? He said, well, I said,
how long I've been playing in Indianapolis. I've been in six years.
I said you've been in six years? Yeah, I've been

(34:26):
in six years. I said, spelled Indianapolis. Oh my god,
Fred he was. I said, spell Indianapolis. I said, spell
it for him. I said, you playing this, I said,
spell it?

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Hell with you?

Speaker 3 (34:42):
I said, no, the Dinapolis. So he couldn't spell Indianapolis.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
I was.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
So the next day for the game, I went in
with the jersey. I said, see Indianapolis, it's on New Jersey. Anyway,
I just had to say that because I just did
not like him, because we were on a I way
to the strip club. When I way to the strip,
but now my strip club, my strip So he wasn't

(35:07):
a he wasn't a student athlete, now saying yes, dummy.
So anyway, so, uh, I go to a strip class
in Houston, Texas. The Men's Club won't forget the men's
club and my boy, my buddy Danny.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
He said, man said a girl.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
I said, okay.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
He said cold.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
I said, I was going to strip clubs. Then it's
the last one. I went into, Fred, the very last
strip club I went to. We go in. He said,
it's a girl. He said, she she's a really pretty girl,
friend of mine. I said, okay, it's really Fred. She
was really pretty. But when I won't forget we walked in.
He said, oh man, I'm gonna tell you she's a
devil worshiper. I'm like what I said, like the devil devil.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
He said yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
I said, oh no, dog, I said, okay, I mean
it tripped me out.

Speaker 5 (35:53):
So she comes, I went, she comes over. She was
a really, really pretty girl.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
She comes over, say Danna and gave Danna hood put
her hand out to shake my hand.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
I just nodded my head like mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
So she sitting down. I said, I said, I gotta
ask you a question. I said, my friend said, you
are a devil worshiper. She said yes. I said, like
the devil devil. She said yeah, like the devil devil.
I said, wait a minute.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
She was she was. She was black, she was mixed.
She was mixed. He was black.

Speaker 5 (36:18):
And something.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
I said, So you telling me you want to go
to hell? She say yes. She showed me her Pentagram ring.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
She told. She told I won't forget this. This is
the thing that I think that got me the most
is was about what she told me. She said, I'm
mea tell. She said, explain something to you. She said
that you'll be surprised how many people are in your
devil worshippers are in your churches. I'm like, really, she
said yes, she said they go there to get members,
They go there to drop things in the church and
do things in the church. I was just shocked, and Fred,

(36:49):
I'm serious. I never forget my feeling when I was there.
I made God a promise that I will never go
to another strip club again after that experience. And I've
never been another one, never walk in another trooper. I
won't I want, I refuse to go to strip clubs
after that. I'm like, I said, no, got God sent
me mad. It was like it was like, this is
what this one was almost said to me. If if

(37:09):
the end came right now, look where you are. I'm
in a strip club. I'm like this, this is not
a good spot. So I've never went to another Trooper
and look, guys want to go. I have no problem
with it. I just don't go to strip clubs.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
All right, Well, the poor NFL spotlighted for.
