Brought to you by Sweet James Accident Attorneys forty one years.

Is that how the Greeks refer to testicles. Testicalis no
the Greek word for testicles. It's one of those words
where you have to because Greek is a different alphabet, right,

So like, you know, how have we talked about this? No,

word for testicles. So if you can just tell us.
Speaker 2 (02:13):

Sarkisian Norm Chow's pupil through college to stick a long
jugged knife into my ba. Anyway, some letters in Greek,
(03:28):
you know, like the white sauce on the you know, yes,
you know, it's called sad zeke. So it's like a
T and an S together, sod zeke, sod zeke, sod zeke,

I won't tell you the name of the restaurant he owns,
but it rhymes with Mike's Chili parlor. And he's Greek
and he told us that yes is no and Noah
is yes with a nod.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Is that accurate or is he pulling my leg? Yeah?
And well, just just speak. The word for no in

I'm sorry, and Oknah's testicles come na, don't say okna.
That's that's not a word and the word for gypsy. Yes,
(06:32):
Why would I need you know that? Because a gypsy
in Greek is anybody who's not Greek. Okay, so I'm
a gypsy. But oh yeah, no, you're You're a Jewish? Right, Yes,
I am? You're what like like Hebrewrael? Yeah, you're afraid.
You know, if you're talking about the Jews, you'd be like, yes.
(06:53):
So if I were to say I am a Jew
with big testicles, I would say what uh ivral megali
from not? I don't know. I can't put the words together.
I just know the different words for everything, right, don't know? Hey,
is there nothing going on? What the hell's going on here?
I don't know, Man, we're getting the four nine, four, five,
one two six talk sports. Oh god, well, I don't know.
(07:18):
I feel like I'm You're the one that started talking
about grease. That's your probably, I know, I feel bad.
I feel like I'm prepared now for our trip and
I might even lean on you some more. Hey, how
about Pete Carroll taking that Raiders job? Man, I'm happy
for Pete Carroll because he wanted to be a head
coach again. Obviously, clearly it's hard to believe because you know,
I mean my he's my dad's age, and I like
(07:40):
think about going over to my dad's house and like
shaking him out of his zero gravity chair at like
five o'clock at night and be like, you know, get
up dad. You know, we gotta hire a running back coach.
Do you think pizza then fall asleep in the sides
of hey, I mean obviously some people have. I mean,
I know a guy who's in his nineties who has
(08:01):
more energy than any of us, and he lives, you know,
he lives to travel, and he's been to Greece and
places we were talking about maybe twenty times, and he
travels the world constantly. Is one of the most remarkable
people I know. And you know, in all in all fairness,
I mean, we make fun of Pete all the time
because he's you do yeah, you never do. You don't
(08:21):
have a drop there where he's calling you frosty this one.
I feel sorry for frusty and you don't play the
other drop when Hugh clowned him and he got a
butt hurt in a press conference, and Hugh was ready
to just drop it on him and he knew, so
he gave Pete a cold and fish like handshake when
he goes, hey, Hugh, where you've been, man? You what's up? Man?
(08:42):
Where you've been? It's been around up man, where you've been?
Just been around. I don't sit here and tell me
with your face that you that you don't make fun
of Pete.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Care really don't though, Okay, don't wait, that's correct. Yeah,
because he's the king of football in Seattle, we treat
him with respect up here.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I know how to stop him from running around and
throwing the ball. What he did you see, Marshall was
on his press conference? Yeah, yeah, stop. I know how
to stop him from doing his whole throwing the ball
and how's that pass rush? Yeah? God? Really bringing the heat.
Sorry for you, Presty. Hey see, there you go. That's
(09:30):
what I was looking for. No, but look, it'll be
interesting because what I saw with Pete Carroll, I mean
I saw that Pete Carroll quite quickly was a cutthroat
professional football coach. Yes. Yeah, he came to USC under
a very different guys and created a great moment in
(09:51):
USC history with a great staff. And then suddenly it
became about what it is in pro football, survival and
climbing and credit and distributing credit and slashing throats including
Norm Jaws and many others, which was unsavory for me
to see, and which doesn't mean he's not a great coach.
(10:14):
It was just a different approach and a lot of
what was preached and what people bought into, you know,
was lip service. Then he went up to the NFL
with his knives out and had great success, brought generational
success to a whole group of people in Seattle for
a generation. So that's all great, you know, but I think,
(10:37):
you know, I think at a certain point, you know,
you get the eye rolling, there's a there's a bit
of a shelf life, so to speak. And you can
say that for any I mean, Phil Jackson said that
about himself, right.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Which is why it was time for him to move
on from here and go take that message somewhere else.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Right.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
It'll be interesting to see how that works in Vegas
and how it meshes with you know, I'm mean, look
who they're up against the division. I'm not you know,
I'm not going to sit here and break down NFL
football for you. You guys do it a lot. I mean,
that's not going to be easy. Yeah, they don't leave
that to us. Well, you guys have a draft. For
(11:14):
God's sake, you know, I was thinking about that draft. Yeah,
I was like, when do I when is do I
have the week off because of the draft? You want
to be on the mock draft? You want to come,
you can represent the Chargers. I get everything wrong when
it comes to the everybody does kidding? You get one
right out of the Yeah, they have that running back. No, No,
he's already he's been a three team since. I was like, oh, sorry,
(11:36):
you know, I don't know. My point is they don't
have a quarterback, and they're up against every quarterback that
you can think of, and it's it's it's not an
easy road. Uh, but who's to say. I mean, the
guy's had success literally everywhere he went, other than the
Jets situation, which which ended abruptly and bitterly.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah, he won't games is last year with the Patriots,
I think they wanted to hire Belichick and obviously they
made the right move for their history.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Uh. And and he was bitter about that and had
to go back to college and built a dynasty. And
now he's you know, he's a he's gonna be a
Hall of Fame coach.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
What can you say, yeah likely, Yeah, well I hope
he does well in in Vegas, you know, but on
the track record's not great there. Track record there is
not great, correct, right, Yeah, well, nobody's won there since
Calahanato took the Raiders to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Ruden, you see it here with the Chargers, the team
I'm picking for in the Softy Dick draft, Jackson pick
for Douvo. How about that guy? Did you see that yesterday?
I mean, you know what Monday like, everybody made fun
of Dan Campbell for the kneecap chewing. Everybody made fun
of Sirianni for just looking like an Italian sausage dildo. Everybody,
(12:58):
you know what I mean, Like what everybody thought Staley.
Everybody thought Staley was like you know, GQ smooth and
came off so great. Oh my god, you know what
I mean. Don't forget we're lying. By the way, whatever
I could say that, I'm just saying you guys probably
(13:18):
have commercials for that. I'm just saying there's a big
sex shop right by the airport. I've been to c TAG.
I'm just reminding you that we're live, that's all. What
do you think people buy their softy. I don't know DVDs,
that's right. All I'm saying is, you know, you can't
judge a book by its cover as far as the
press press conference goes. But that guy, that guy did
(13:40):
seem like kind of a weirdo. I was up in
Pullman doing a game once and you know it was
it was, you know, not long ago, super long ago,
because I was practicing yoga and you know, I find it.
If there's a place without you know, with yoga, I'll
go in most college towns have yoga, so I'll go.
And I went to this yoga class in Pullman and
(14:02):
the guy who was teaching it was like totally normal.
It's like, hey, you know, twenty bucks whatever. And then
when the class started, just like that coach Cohen, he
started talking like a ghost, right. He was like whoao?
And I was like, well why what happened? And then
classes over he's like see you let gokugs. I was like, well,
why why did you become a ghost? Why did you
(14:24):
talk like that?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
You got the new guy Jimmy Rodgers that got hired
for in Pullman was is he from South Dakota State?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Is that right? Where's he from? I don't know what
school he was at. Yeah, one of those schools he looks.
You know what, that's what Dickard is from, too right,
It's like a coaching tree. You gotta look. You ever
see Canadian Bacon the movie? No? Okay, well see Strange Bruise? Eh?
Well he was the guy that Jimmy Rodgers looks like
is in Canadian Bacon. Oh well, I'm so sendy a picture. Hey.
Don't you think if patriated about as well as the
(14:53):
Blue Velvet reference had made on Fox Sports Radio this morning?
You hadn't seen the movie, so it's not worth talking about.
It's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I mean, why do you do yourself a favor and
watch Canadian Bacon? John Candy, Stephen Wright.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I'm gonna forget We're live again. You're pushing me, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Uh, don't you think if Patrick Mahomes wins in three
peats that he's better than Brady and Lebron and Jordan
and all those guys?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Shut up? Like, come on, dude, can we not talk
about sports that way? I saw you. It's so uninteresting.
I saw you going after Nick right, It's just it's
not just him, And you know what I mean, these
guys have jobs and that's what they do. They go
in every day and some idiot producer in a freaking
quarter zip, you know, a Travis Matthew quarter zip, handsome
(15:42):
stack of papers and says, you know, here's what we're
gonna talk about. Who's the goat? God? I saw your tweet.
Why can't we stop talking about sports like this? It
says Jordan, all right, it's like, what excuse me? Well,
he's doing it to get people like you to react. Well,
(16:04):
and you did way to go. He took No. It
just needs to stop, like can we have can we
not have a more interesting conversation? Like there is an
interesting conversation to be had. There is a recent parallel,
and the parallel is the Patriots and Tom Brady because
when Tom Brady started for the Patriots and he was
(16:24):
spelling a great koog Drew Bledsoe, he was a game manager.
They were a wild defensive team with guys like Willie McGinnis,
and he was a he managed the game. You know,
they they were I mean, that's what you would say
today about what he did. And then they changed. They
had long receivers like Moss, they had short guys, and
(16:49):
like Welker that would and Amondola that would work their
way in that way, they evolved, their defense became less
and less in some ways, and back and forth. And
that's what's also happened with Kansas City. I know they
exploded with points in this last game, but throughout the year,
I mean, the reason they're winning games and everybody's like, well,
they're offensers, aren't goings. It's like, stop looking at stats.
(17:12):
They've become a more defensive team. Their play calling has changed,
They've You can't just have the same success doing the
same thing year in and year out and continue to dominate.
You have to change as people try to change to
stop you. And the Chiefs have done the best job
in the world of that's it. And that's a way
(17:33):
better thing than you can trying to compare apples to oranges. Yeah.
The stupid thing and the dumbest thing in the world
there we go, is to talk about football in that way.
That is analysis, baby, you know. And I'm just as dumb.
When I played football. I was out there like a
chicken with my head cut off, just getting knocked around
and walking back crooked to the sideline. It is absolute chaos.
(18:02):
You know, if you and and everybody sit and it
doesn't matter what level, but once you get to the
higher levels of football, you sit in meetings and you say,
we're gonna do this, we're gonna do this, we're gonna
do this, this and this, and when they do this,
we're gonna do this and then we're gonna come back.
And that everybody feels great about it. Hey, we're gonna
script our first twenty players, all right, hit them on this,
So we're gonna hit them on hi, hit them low,
(18:22):
and we're gonna get the ball to the X and
all that stuff. And then the game starts and it's
the chaos of the Civil War, Like it's like, oh god,
this guy got hurt. What are we doing? Who's the
second string kickoff guy? That guy's leg fell off? Like
it is chaos and you and the key to the
sport is finding a way to navigate through that. There's
(18:42):
eleven guys out there in a time, as you know,
and like twenty five thirty guys that play on an
offense or a defense, and we sit there and act
like circumstance doesn't rule. And because they couldn't find a way,
Josh Allen, you know, and is he not the goat?
It's just like Jesus Christ Almighty. I just tell you.
(19:05):
Through this entire Baltimore lost, and they talked more about
Baltimore leading into the Final four of the NFL than
they did about the games that were coming up. Wells,
there's been more talk about Buffalo losing and the calls
of the Chief Scott than the Eagles match up. But
there's a week.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I'll be honest with you, the whole entire time you're
giving us that little commentary on football analysis. I'm trying
to remember the Greek word for testicles. Co'mak'm nah.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
We gotta have the kum nah to change the way
we talk about sports. I'm not just a stupid fat
head and it's not gonna do anything. But I'm so
tired of like, they're smart people. They have access to
stories and to tell interesting stories. Isn't that better than
just sitting there every day and talking about who the
goat is? Yes, we're listening to Stephen A. Smith used
(19:54):
different inflections like what what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I don't know, man, I just hope one day I
have the hum nah to do something different.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
On crack.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
That's a good one. You like that. Jimmy g poorn star,
Jimmy mister garoppolo, He'll just step They are trash hormable,
I guess. I mean you could say in a very
rudimentary way what he does his performance ord that's right,
that's right. Yeah, but everybody else, God, I get it.
(20:29):
I'm just tired of the lies. Tell a story, yeah,
like how to say testicles in Greek? Right, something interesting?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Bring, Bring something to the table that people can retain
and actually balls right, balls? All right, you're the man,
great stuff, Thank you, and we will talk in a week.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Whatever. I miss you already, all right, I'll tell you
how to get around Athens without getting stabbed. That's one
of the no, it's one of the safest cities. I
love it, all right, see you man. Petro's Papainakas. I'm
feel sorry. We're gonna break.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Kevin Harlan joins it five right here, speaking of I'm nah,
He'll join at five the biggest of all. I'm nah
at five o'clock on ninety three three kJ RFM.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
I'm just a stupid fat head.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
You're listening to your one and only home for the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Super Bowl fifty.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Make us your number one pre set in your car
and on the new iHeart Radio app. Now back to
Sufdi and Dick brought to you Buddy Ever Queen Casino
on Sports Radio ninety three.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Point t Super Bowl k j R F M all right,
Kevin Harlan will join us coming up at five o'clock
tonight on the radio show. You know he's he's calling
the Super Bowl for west Wood Wana, super Bowl fifty
nine because he's the goat. Baby, he's a big damn deal.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
He is the goat. He's calling the game on radio.
He'll join us. I think he'll be good to go
next Wednesday. By the way, he's not heading out to
New Orleans until Friday. So it's just totally different. Now
the radio guys do it versus the TV guys. TV
guys like already there right, like setting up shop and whatever.
Who's got the game this year?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Fox has the game? Do we know who's got the game?
Who's got the game? That's probably something we should know,
by the way, something we should know. A Siri or
Alexa or who's the Google gallop AIRI what's her name?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Says? What network is carrying the Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Let's see who gets it first three two and Fox
has it.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yep, so Burt cart and Brady doing the Super Bowl? Wow? Yeah,
what do we think of Brady? By the way, it's fine, Yeah,
thank you Jackson.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Because everybody seems to have just this knee jerk reaction,
and usually it's negative.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Tom Brady is fine.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Fine, Well, what's wrong with that reaction though, that they
don't like him? Because that was that knee Jerky's just
reacting to what they hear.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
People want or people make either the oh my god,
he's amazing or oh he sucks.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, but what if they think he sucks. I don't know.
I don't but that's fine. We can all disagree with that.
I think he's kind of metah.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
I don't think there's much there to be honest with you,
and that a lot of people would take that as
a criticism of him. For thirty million dollars a year,
Fox may want to have a guy deliver a little
bit more. I mean, I think Greg Olsen's better. I
think Tony Romo is better, better than Tom Brady. There's
a lot of guys that are doing color commentating that
are better than Tom Brady, And I think even Hugh
Millan agrees he's got to get better.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
He says he will get better, and he's.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
The number one fan club member of the Brady fan Club,
Hugh Millin. So I mean, are you guys telling me
that people that believe that Tom Brady is kind of
met as a broadcaster, that they're wrong or that they
should back off in their opinion. Give him a break,
let them get better, let him work through it. He's
a rookie, it's year one. What are we saying?
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Mostly the second because the fact that people listen to
one game and there was just this outrage, Like I
couldn't believe it because I didn't hear Brady call a
game probably for like five or six weeks. And when
I heard him call a game, I was like, Okay,
it wasn't great, But where's all this anger and vitriol
(23:47):
coming from.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Well?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I think a lot of people have real high standards
for him, because when you go out and you hire
a guy for thirty million dollars and you make kind
of a big deal about hiring him, that's going to
come with a big expectation, right. I Mean it was
like Fox just said, hey, you know what, We're gonna
hire Tom Brady. We're gonna put him on our g team,
pay him five hundred dollars a game, and just give
him a shot and see how it goes. No, we
(24:09):
are automatically before he even calls a game, elevating him
to the number one broadcast crew, which means he's gonna
be doing the Super Bowl. By the way, if Fox
has the game, we're gonna pay him thirty million dollars
a year. I mean, what do you think people are
gonna say, right? I mean, Greg.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Olsen has already come out and said he misses doing
the games and wishes he was on the number one crew.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
I think I would expect people to put some thought
into it and say they're paying for the name, right,
You shouldn't expect him to be as good on air
as he was, you know behind center in your number one.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
That exactly that's too fine.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I have no problem giving the guy break and what
we expecting you or two. I'm just telling you what
i've observed so far in your number one. I thought
maybe he'd be a little better. I thought maybe he'd
be a little more personable, tell a little more stories,
break down the plays, a little bit more. Sometimes I
feel there's a lot of cliches with him on the broadcast.
You know, sometimes I think he struggles to fish.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
To finish the sentence and he'll just throw a cliche
out there, like both teams are trying hard, Like he'll
say stuff like that, and I feel like there's a
lot more detail. And the detail that Tony Romo gives me,
I feel like is like I can relate to it.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
He's not talking over my head. He's explaining what's happening,
but he's doing it in like an everyman kind of way.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 5 (25:26):
I just think I just think it's okay sometimes to
have a take that's not just like completely one side
or the other. Right, it's just okay to say that
it's it's just all right. But what I think is
going to be fascinating.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Appreciate the choiring that one.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
By the way, you know that yes, is when the
conversation of the goat comes up. If Patrick Mahomes has
to happens to win this game and Tom Brady's on
the call, and because because if it was Romo or
anybody else, they can legitimately have a conversation.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Hey, let's talk about this. Aaron, where's Patrick mahon Holmes
now on the go list? Like, how's Brady gonna bring
that up?
Speaker 5 (26:03):
He's like, well, yeah, looks like Patrick Mahomes just passed me.
I mean, that's not gonna happen. I think you just
have to have that conversation in honest terms. I mean,
you know, look, I mean, here's what I think, and
maybe he thinks Mahomes is better.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I got no idea. I'd like to hear him talk
about Pete Carroll being the coach of his football team. Yes, yeah,
you know. I mean, especially if this is a blowout
one which I don't think it's gonna be, but if
it is a blowout and they're looking to fill you know,
some time. I mean, he's the owner of the Raiders.
I mean, come on, and who knows if these are
even things he can talk about.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
But I think it's okay to say, I don't know.
I think it's okay to say, let's find out. It's
okay to say, let's give the guy some time. I
think it's been very not very, but it's been a
little bit underwhelming for me in your number one for Brady.
But I'm also very curious to see what kind of
jump he makes in your number two.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
I also think that a lot of people, after seeing
what Tony Romo has done when he came off the
field and then turned into the best in the end,
one of the best in the NFL. If night he
is the best, people expected Tom Brady to pull a
Tony Romo and say, if Tony was that good, well,
Brady was a better quarterback. Brady's going to be even
better as a broadcaster. But you're totally ignoring I think
that just the human personality side Brady's personality. Whenever we
(27:12):
heard Brady from a press conference, and I watched a
ton of minutes from.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Him, they're terrible.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
He's not a great interview, he's not a great press conference.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Why would you hire him to be a color commentator? Nay?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
But then but then, okay, that's fine. But if you're
hiring him for the name, Fox is hiring him to
get people to tune in. And those people that are
tuning in are going to have a take on what
they're listening to and what they're watching.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
And you just said it yourself. If his name was
Bob Gonad, he wouldn't be on TV because he's terrible.
His personality is not great.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
And it's not coming through very well on the Halt,
and he needs to he needs to take some time,
take the off season, do a little bit of training
to develop that personality.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
I just don't think there's a lot of chemistry between
him and Burkhart. I think there's chemistry between Nance and Romo.
Don't you thinks there is good chemistry between those two.
All right, Well, whatever we had planned for this segment,
that blows it away.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
We gotta revisit this Florio take on the officials and
the chiefs and all that stuff. We'll do that coming
up in five point thirty. Kevin Harlan, By the way,
five
It's time for our weekly conversation with college football analyst
Petros Papa Nakas.

he does best, Yeah, hold the insurance company accountable and
he will put it down. And that insurance, timmy say,

(01:46):
Is that how the Greeks refer to testicles. Testicalis no
the Greek word for testicles. It's one of those words
where you have to because Greek is a different alphabet, right,
you know, and some words our letters don't really match,
like Hebrew kind of right, yeah, yeah, I guess right.
So like, you know, how have we talked about this? No,
(02:09):
not at all.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I think we're all just dying to know the Greek
word for testicles. So if you can just tell us.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
You know, I'm gonna be give you a roundabout answer, okay,
because I don't want to talk about brownie, uh, because
I know you're champion at the bit. Oh h and

You know the ones we're talking about, I don't know,
promoting suck. You know who it was? Who was a coach?
Big girl? Did those? Did he not? Did he not?
(03:01):
Like Carrol liked me for a while. I'm in a
b He used Steve Sarkisi and his he used Steve
Sarkisian Norm Chow's pupil through college to stick a long
jugged knife into my ba. Anyway, some letters in Greek,
(03:28):
you know, like the white sauce on the you know, yes,
you know, it's called sad zeke. So it's like a
T and an S together, sod zeke, sod zeke, sod zeke,
Well the word for balls in Greek. But go ahead.
(03:49):
But because you're talking about the white sauce and the sandwich,
and then you made the movie house going on, did
you have to bring in the euro How do you
think you got here? All right? The word for testicles
is you gotta come? Nah? Come nah, yeah nah, some
(04:11):
old Greek lady just dropped a plate in their kitchen. Yes,
come nah na. I don't want to kam na sauce

a place that's very special to me. You did to you,
and you've you've mitiated upon it. You gave us some
suggestions and joy grease.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Some of them we took, and some of them we

visit out there.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
We want alliance into the at world. I want to
take it slow. If you really had m nah, you

talk to one guy. I'll tell you. It's it's our buddy.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I won't tell you the name of the restaurant he owns,
but it rhymes with Mike's Chili parlor. And he's Greek
and he told us that yes is no and Noah
is yes with a nod.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Is that accurate or is he pulling my leg? Yeah?
And well, just just speak. The word for no in
Greek is oh he o like o X I gotcha.
Just set me up, man, No, I'm not yeah, you
are yes, I'm not gonna have my I'm not to
ask your freaking phone, idiot. The word for yes in
(05:46):
Greek is nena. Yeah, like n e h. Well, that's
just dope. You know how like a fat chick will
go like mah instead A lot of people do that. Yeah,
well I like fat you do. Yeah, of course that's
matter with you. Data?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Is your wife aware of that alone? Because data looks great?
By the way, Think you're right, lucky bastard. You way,
I'll kick your coverage.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Man, holy cow SONA is yes?
Speaker 4 (06:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
No? All right? And no is uh achna or something? Dude. Oh,
I'm sorry, and Oknah's testicles come na, don't say okna.
That's that's not a word and the word for gypsy. Yes,
(06:32):
Why would I need you know that? Because a gypsy
in Greek is anybody who's not Greek. Okay, so I'm
a gypsy. But oh yeah, no, you're You're a Jewish? Right, Yes,
I am? You're what like like Hebrewrael? Yeah, you're afraid.
You know, if you're talking about the Jews, you'd be like, yes.
(06:53):
So if I were to say I am a Jew
with big testicles, I would say what uh ivral megali
from not? I don't know. I can't put the words together.
I just know the different words for everything, right, don't know? Hey,
is there nothing going on? What the hell's going on here?
I don't know, Man, we're getting the four nine, four, five,
one two six talk sports. Oh god, well, I don't know.
(07:18):
I feel like I'm You're the one that started talking
about grease. That's your probably, I know, I feel bad.
I feel like I'm prepared now for our trip and
I might even lean on you some more. Hey, how
about Pete Carroll taking that Raiders job? Man, I'm happy
for Pete Carroll because he wanted to be a head
coach again. Obviously, clearly it's hard to believe because you know,
I mean my he's my dad's age, and I like
(07:40):
think about going over to my dad's house and like
shaking him out of his zero gravity chair at like
five o'clock at night and be like, you know, get
up dad. You know, we gotta hire a running back coach.
Do you think pizza then fall asleep in the sides
of hey, I mean obviously some people have. I mean,
I know a guy who's in his nineties who has
(08:01):
more energy than any of us, and he lives, you know,
he lives to travel, and he's been to Greece and
places we were talking about maybe twenty times, and he
travels the world constantly. Is one of the most remarkable
people I know. And you know, in all in all fairness,
I mean, we make fun of Pete all the time
because he's you do yeah, you never do. You don't
(08:21):
have a drop there where he's calling you frosty this one.
I feel sorry for frusty and you don't play the
other drop when Hugh clowned him and he got a
butt hurt in a press conference, and Hugh was ready
to just drop it on him and he knew, so
he gave Pete a cold and fish like handshake when
he goes, hey, Hugh, where you've been, man? You what's up? Man?
(08:42):
Where you've been? It's been around up man, where you've been?
Just been around. I don't sit here and tell me
with your face that you that you don't make fun
of Pete.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Care really don't though, Okay, don't wait, that's correct. Yeah,
because he's the king of football in Seattle, we treat
him with respect up here.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I know how to stop him from running around and
throwing the ball. What he did you see, Marshall was
on his press conference? Yeah, yeah, stop. I know how
to stop him from doing his whole throwing the ball
and how's that pass rush? Yeah? God? Really bringing the heat.
Sorry for you, Presty. Hey see, there you go. That's
(09:30):
what I was looking for. No, but look, it'll be
interesting because what I saw with Pete Carroll, I mean
I saw that Pete Carroll quite quickly was a cutthroat
professional football coach. Yes. Yeah, he came to USC under
a very different guys and created a great moment in
(09:51):
USC history with a great staff. And then suddenly it
became about what it is in pro football, survival and
climbing and credit and distributing credit and slashing throats including
Norm Jaws and many others, which was unsavory for me
to see, and which doesn't mean he's not a great coach.
(10:14):
It was just a different approach and a lot of
what was preached and what people bought into, you know,
was lip service. Then he went up to the NFL
with his knives out and had great success, brought generational
success to a whole group of people in Seattle for
a generation. So that's all great, you know, but I think,
(10:37):
you know, I think at a certain point, you know,
you get the eye rolling, there's a there's a bit
of a shelf life, so to speak. And you can
say that for any I mean, Phil Jackson said that
about himself, right.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Which is why it was time for him to move
on from here and go take that message somewhere else.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Right.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
It'll be interesting to see how that works in Vegas
and how it meshes with you know, I'm mean, look
who they're up against the division. I'm not you know,
I'm not going to sit here and break down NFL
football for you. You guys do it a lot. I mean,
that's not going to be easy. Yeah, they don't leave
that to us. Well, you guys have a draft. For
(11:14):
God's sake, you know, I was thinking about that draft. Yeah,
I was like, when do I when is do I
have the week off because of the draft? You want
to be on the mock draft? You want to come,
you can represent the Chargers. I get everything wrong when
it comes to the everybody does kidding? You get one
right out of the Yeah, they have that running back. No, No,
he's already he's been a three team since. I was like, oh, sorry,
(11:36):
you know, I don't know. My point is they don't
have a quarterback, and they're up against every quarterback that
you can think of, and it's it's it's not an
easy road. Uh, but who's to say. I mean, the
guy's had success literally everywhere he went, other than the
Jets situation, which which ended abruptly and bitterly.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah, he won't games is last year with the Patriots,
I think they wanted to hire Belichick and obviously they
made the right move for their history.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Uh. And and he was bitter about that and had
to go back to college and built a dynasty. And
now he's you know, he's a he's gonna be a
Hall of Fame coach.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
What can you say, yeah likely, Yeah, well I hope
he does well in in Vegas, you know, but on
the track record's not great there. Track record there is
not great, correct, right, Yeah, well, nobody's won there since
Calahanato took the Raiders to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Ruden, you see it here with the Chargers, the team
I'm picking for in the Softy Dick draft, Jackson pick
for Douvo. How about that guy? Did you see that yesterday?
I mean, you know what Monday like, everybody made fun
of Dan Campbell for the kneecap chewing. Everybody made fun
of Sirianni for just looking like an Italian sausage dildo. Everybody,
(12:58):
you know what I mean, Like what everybody thought Staley.
Everybody thought Staley was like you know, GQ smooth and
came off so great. Oh my god, you know what
I mean. Don't forget we're lying. By the way, whatever
I could say that, I'm just saying you guys probably
(13:18):
have commercials for that. I'm just saying there's a big
sex shop right by the airport. I've been to c TAG.
I'm just reminding you that we're live, that's all. What
do you think people buy their softy. I don't know DVDs,
that's right. All I'm saying is, you know, you can't
judge a book by its cover as far as the
press press conference goes. But that guy, that guy did
(13:40):
seem like kind of a weirdo. I was up in
Pullman doing a game once and you know it was
it was, you know, not long ago, super long ago,
because I was practicing yoga and you know, I find it.
If there's a place without you know, with yoga, I'll
go in most college towns have yoga, so I'll go.
And I went to this yoga class in Pullman and
(14:02):
the guy who was teaching it was like totally normal.
It's like, hey, you know, twenty bucks whatever. And then
when the class started, just like that coach Cohen, he
started talking like a ghost, right. He was like whoao?
And I was like, well why what happened? And then
classes over he's like see you let gokugs. I was like, well,
why why did you become a ghost? Why did you
(14:24):
talk like that?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
You got the new guy Jimmy Rodgers that got hired
for in Pullman was is he from South Dakota State?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Is that right? Where's he from? I don't know what
school he was at. Yeah, one of those schools he looks.
You know what, that's what Dickard is from, too right,
It's like a coaching tree. You gotta look. You ever
see Canadian Bacon the movie? No? Okay, well see Strange Bruise? Eh?
Well he was the guy that Jimmy Rodgers looks like
is in Canadian Bacon. Oh well, I'm so sendy a picture. Hey.
Don't you think if patriated about as well as the
(14:53):
Blue Velvet reference had made on Fox Sports Radio this morning?
You hadn't seen the movie, so it's not worth talking about.
It's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I mean, why do you do yourself a favor and
watch Canadian Bacon? John Candy, Stephen Wright.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I'm gonna forget We're live again. You're pushing me, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Uh, don't you think if Patrick Mahomes wins in three
peats that he's better than Brady and Lebron and Jordan
and all those guys?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Shut up? Like, come on, dude, can we not talk
about sports that way? I saw you. It's so uninteresting.
I saw you going after Nick right, It's just it's
not just him, And you know what I mean, these
guys have jobs and that's what they do. They go
in every day and some idiot producer in a freaking
quarter zip, you know, a Travis Matthew quarter zip, handsome
(15:42):
stack of papers and says, you know, here's what we're
gonna talk about. Who's the goat? God? I saw your tweet.
Why can't we stop talking about sports like this? It
says Jordan, all right, it's like, what excuse me? Well,
he's doing it to get people like you to react. Well,
(16:04):
and you did way to go. He took No. It
just needs to stop, like can we have can we
not have a more interesting conversation? Like there is an
interesting conversation to be had. There is a recent parallel,
and the parallel is the Patriots and Tom Brady because
when Tom Brady started for the Patriots and he was
(16:24):
spelling a great koog Drew Bledsoe, he was a game manager.
They were a wild defensive team with guys like Willie McGinnis,
and he was a he managed the game. You know,
they they were I mean, that's what you would say
today about what he did. And then they changed. They
had long receivers like Moss, they had short guys, and
(16:49):
like Welker that would and Amondola that would work their
way in that way, they evolved, their defense became less
and less in some ways, and back and forth. And
that's what's also happened with Kansas City. I know they
exploded with points in this last game, but throughout the year,
I mean, the reason they're winning games and everybody's like, well,
they're offensers, aren't goings. It's like, stop looking at stats.
(17:12):
They've become a more defensive team. Their play calling has changed,
They've You can't just have the same success doing the
same thing year in and year out and continue to dominate.
You have to change as people try to change to
stop you. And the Chiefs have done the best job
in the world of that's it. And that's a way
(17:33):
better thing than you can trying to compare apples to oranges. Yeah.
The stupid thing and the dumbest thing in the world
there we go, is to talk about football in that way.
That is analysis, baby, you know. And I'm just as dumb.
When I played football. I was out there like a
chicken with my head cut off, just getting knocked around
and walking back crooked to the sideline. It is absolute chaos.
(18:02):
You know, if you and and everybody sit and it
doesn't matter what level, but once you get to the
higher levels of football, you sit in meetings and you say,
we're gonna do this, we're gonna do this, we're gonna
do this, this and this, and when they do this,
we're gonna do this and then we're gonna come back.
And that everybody feels great about it. Hey, we're gonna
script our first twenty players, all right, hit them on this,
So we're gonna hit them on hi, hit them low,
(18:22):
and we're gonna get the ball to the X and
all that stuff. And then the game starts and it's
the chaos of the Civil War, Like it's like, oh god,
this guy got hurt. What are we doing? Who's the
second string kickoff guy? That guy's leg fell off? Like
it is chaos and you and the key to the
sport is finding a way to navigate through that. There's
(18:42):
eleven guys out there in a time, as you know,
and like twenty five thirty guys that play on an
offense or a defense, and we sit there and act
like circumstance doesn't rule. And because they couldn't find a way,
Josh Allen, you know, and is he not the goat?
It's just like Jesus Christ Almighty. I just tell you.
(19:05):
Through this entire Baltimore lost, and they talked more about
Baltimore leading into the Final four of the NFL than
they did about the games that were coming up. Wells,
there's been more talk about Buffalo losing and the calls
of the Chief Scott than the Eagles match up. But
there's a week.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I'll be honest with you, the whole entire time you're
giving us that little commentary on football analysis. I'm trying
to remember the Greek word for testicles. Co'mak'm nah.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
We gotta have the kum nah to change the way
we talk about sports. I'm not just a stupid fat
head and it's not gonna do anything. But I'm so
tired of like, they're smart people. They have access to
stories and to tell interesting stories. Isn't that better than
just sitting there every day and talking about who the
goat is? Yes, we're listening to Stephen A. Smith used
(19:54):
different inflections like what what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I don't know, man, I just hope one day I
have the hum nah to do something different.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
On crack.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
That's a good one. You like that. Jimmy g poorn star,
Jimmy mister garoppolo, He'll just step They are trash hormable,
I guess. I mean you could say in a very
rudimentary way what he does his performance ord that's right,
that's right. Yeah, but everybody else, God, I get it.
(20:29):
I'm just tired of the lies. Tell a story, yeah,
like how to say testicles in Greek? Right, something interesting?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Bring, Bring something to the table that people can retain
and actually balls right, balls? All right, you're the man,
great stuff, Thank you, and we will talk in a week.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Whatever. I miss you already, all right, I'll tell you
how to get around Athens without getting stabbed. That's one
of the no, it's one of the safest cities. I
love it, all right, see you man. Petro's Papainakas. I'm

the radio guys do it versus the TV guys. TV
guys like already there right, like setting up shop and whatever.
Who's got the game this year?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Fox has the game? Do we know who's got the game?
Who's got the game? That's probably something we should know,
by the way, something we should know. A Siri or
Alexa or who's the Google gallop AIRI what's her name?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Says? What network is carrying the Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Let's see who gets it first three two and Fox
has it.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yep, so Burt cart and Brady doing the Super Bowl? Wow? Yeah,
what do we think of Brady? By the way, it's fine, Yeah,
thank you Jackson.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Because everybody seems to have just this knee jerk reaction,
and usually it's negative.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Tom Brady is fine.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Fine, Well, what's wrong with that reaction though, that they
don't like him? Because that was that knee Jerky's just
reacting to what they hear.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
People want or people make either the oh my god,
he's amazing or oh he sucks.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, but what if they think he sucks. I don't know.
I don't but that's fine. We can all disagree with that.
I think he's kind of metah.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
I don't think there's much there to be honest with you,
and that a lot of people would take that as
a criticism of him. For thirty million dollars a year,
Fox may want to have a guy deliver a little
bit more. I mean, I think Greg Olsen's better. I
think Tony Romo is better, better than Tom Brady. There's
a lot of guys that are doing color commentating that
are better than Tom Brady, And I think even Hugh
Millan agrees he's got to get better.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
He says he will get better, and he's.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
The number one fan club member of the Brady fan Club,
Hugh Millin. So I mean, are you guys telling me
that people that believe that Tom Brady is kind of
met as a broadcaster, that they're wrong or that they
should back off in their opinion. Give him a break,
let them get better, let him work through it. He's
a rookie, it's year one. What are we saying?
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Mostly the second because the fact that people listen to
one game and there was just this outrage, Like I
couldn't believe it because I didn't hear Brady call a
game probably for like five or six weeks. And when
I heard him call a game, I was like, Okay,
it wasn't great, But where's all this anger and vitriol
(23:47):
coming from.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Well?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I think a lot of people have real high standards
for him, because when you go out and you hire
a guy for thirty million dollars and you make kind
of a big deal about hiring him, that's going to
come with a big expectation, right. I Mean it was
like Fox just said, hey, you know what, We're gonna
hire Tom Brady. We're gonna put him on our g team,
pay him five hundred dollars a game, and just give
him a shot and see how it goes. No, we
(24:09):
are automatically before he even calls a game, elevating him
to the number one broadcast crew, which means he's gonna
be doing the Super Bowl. By the way, if Fox
has the game, we're gonna pay him thirty million dollars
a year. I mean, what do you think people are
gonna say, right? I mean, Greg.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Olsen has already come out and said he misses doing
the games and wishes he was on the number one crew.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
I think I would expect people to put some thought
into it and say they're paying for the name, right,
You shouldn't expect him to be as good on air
as he was, you know behind center in your number one.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
That exactly that's too fine.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I have no problem giving the guy break and what
we expecting you or two. I'm just telling you what
i've observed so far in your number one. I thought
maybe he'd be a little better. I thought maybe he'd
be a little more personable, tell a little more stories,
break down the plays, a little bit more. Sometimes I
feel there's a lot of cliches with him on the broadcast.
You know, sometimes I think he struggles to fish.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
To finish the sentence and he'll just throw a cliche
out there, like both teams are trying hard, Like he'll
say stuff like that, and I feel like there's a
lot more detail. And the detail that Tony Romo gives me,
I feel like is like I can relate to it.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
He's not talking over my head. He's explaining what's happening,
but he's doing it in like an everyman kind of way.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 5 (25:26):
I just think I just think it's okay sometimes to
have a take that's not just like completely one side
or the other. Right, it's just okay to say that
it's it's just all right. But what I think is
going to be fascinating.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Appreciate the choiring that one.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
By the way, you know that yes, is when the
conversation of the goat comes up. If Patrick Mahomes has
to happens to win this game and Tom Brady's on
the call, and because because if it was Romo or
anybody else, they can legitimately have a conversation.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Hey, let's talk about this. Aaron, where's Patrick mahon Holmes
now on the go list? Like, how's Brady gonna bring
that up?
Speaker 5 (26:03):
He's like, well, yeah, looks like Patrick Mahomes just passed me.
I mean, that's not gonna happen. I think you just
have to have that conversation in honest terms. I mean,
you know, look, I mean, here's what I think, and
maybe he thinks Mahomes is better.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I got no idea. I'd like to hear him talk
about Pete Carroll being the coach of his football team. Yes, yeah,
you know. I mean, especially if this is a blowout
one which I don't think it's gonna be, but if
it is a blowout and they're looking to fill you know,
some time. I mean, he's the owner of the Raiders.
I mean, come on, and who knows if these are
even things he can talk about.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
But I think it's okay to say, I don't know.
I think it's okay to say, let's find out. It's
okay to say, let's give the guy some time. I
think it's been very not very, but it's been a
little bit underwhelming for me in your number one for Brady.
But I'm also very curious to see what kind of
jump he makes in your number two.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
I also think that a lot of people, after seeing
what Tony Romo has done when he came off the
field and then turned into the best in the end,
one of the best in the NFL. If night he
is the best, people expected Tom Brady to pull a
Tony Romo and say, if Tony was that good, well,
Brady was a better quarterback. Brady's going to be even
better as a broadcaster. But you're totally ignoring I think
that just the human personality side Brady's personality. Whenever we
(27:12):
heard Brady from a press conference, and I watched a
ton of minutes from.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Him, they're terrible.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
He's not a great interview, he's not a great press conference.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Why would you hire him to be a color commentator? Nay?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
But then but then, okay, that's fine. But if you're
hiring him for the name, Fox is hiring him to
get people to tune in. And those people that are
tuning in are going to have a take on what
they're listening to and what they're watching.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
And you just said it yourself. If his name was
Bob Gonad, he wouldn't be on TV because he's terrible.
His personality is not great.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
And it's not coming through very well on the Halt,
and he needs to he needs to take some time,
take the off season, do a little bit of training
to develop that personality.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
I just don't think there's a lot of chemistry between
him and Burkhart. I think there's chemistry between Nance and Romo.
Don't you thinks there is good chemistry between those two.
All right, Well, whatever we had planned for this segment,
that blows it away.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
We gotta revisit this Florio take on the officials and
the chiefs and all that stuff. We'll do that coming
up in five point thirty. Kevin Harlan, By the way,
