s R. You're listening to the best of the Odd
Couple with Chris Brush and Rob Harker. Tom Brady, he
went on Instagram today and and let it all hang out.
He got emotional, he let his feelings loose. He was
transparent a couple of times. He didn't use an apostrophe
(00:42):
for don't but I'm not gonna hold that against him.
He was, he was in his feelings. Doesn't relate to
you for once? All right, all right, Rob Ge, tell
us what Tom Brady's in. Am I right about the
apostrophe us to us in a nutshell, Rob, you are
right number one, number two. It was like three and
a half pages on this post. It was long. He
(01:04):
thanked the fans, you know, thanked everybody, even quoted Teddy Roosevelt.
I don't know what had to do with anything. Well,
here's the closing sentence that matters. Beat up on your
Raiders year after year after he did it. One time
he cheated and they cheated. The most important that first
super Bowl came from that bad call that it that
(01:25):
that went against the Raiders. Okay, all right, go ahead.
Well you know Chris, me and Alex are both on
team Rob. Now sides Alex. Yeah, Alex doesn't even talk
to He passed me in the hall just before the show.
It didn't even look at me. No, he was he was.
He was afraid that you want to step on his Jordans,
So he staying away, all right. So once tom Brady
(01:45):
got out of his feelings, he closed it with this
definitive statement about his future. Oh God, you don't always win.
You can't. However, learn from that failure, pick yourself up
with great enthusiasm and place yourself in the arena again.
And that's right where you will find me, because I
know I still have more to prove. He's coming back America,
that's right, and he should come back and play football.
(02:10):
What's wrong with that? He still can play it. He
still can play it. Rob. Tom Brady couldn't do that.
Can he can? Tom Brady is doing NFL America a disservice.
This is nothing more than a money grab for Tom Brady.
This ain't about football. He feels jilty because he didn't
(02:31):
get the contract that Drew Brees got in retirement age.
Tom Brady wants to get paid all of a sudden,
and he'll leave the Patriots or try to strong arm them.
They're not gonna give a broken down forty three year
old quarterback, uh money. Tom Brady has some nerve. He
wants a paycheck, he wants a Social Security check, and
(02:52):
he wants his pension all at the same time. No,
Tom Brady, this is a selfish move by Tom Ready.
All these years he was supposedly I'm all about the team.
It ain't about money. I'll do whatever it takes to win. Now,
all of a sudden, when you're beaten down and you're
broken up and you can't perform your last two playoff games,
(03:16):
you've thrown a total of zero touchdowns. You right, you've
played horribly, and now we even have your highlights. We
know what it is. We're strowing ten years by Tom Brandon,
you got nerved to want more money now at the
ripe old age of forty three going on sixty seven.
I ain't paying how dare you, Tom Brady, and then
(03:38):
go on on Instagram and try to make it like, oh,
I'm so hip, I'm with the kids. I got so
much more to prove. You got nothing to prove. You're
just like every other selfish athlete that can't stay out
of the limelight, that can't walk away with dignity. You
wanna be Willie Mays, you wanna be Muhammad Ali. You
(04:01):
want to be Michael jordans All at the end, what
let me stop me back? You just go say you
go somewhere you He wants to be Muhammad Ali. It
didn't end pretty, frilly. He wants to be really mazed.
It didn't end pretty for him? Is that what you say? Us?
He wants to go out badly like that. That's what
(04:22):
he wants. Because he's athletes. You have to save them
from that corny going again, I won't call it corny,
but it's OUs. Corney under Rhames take Oh it doesn't.
That's that's gonna be a YouTube sensation. It's just a
matter of time gets it up. Yeah all right, but anyway, selfish? Yes,
(04:42):
how is he being selfish? He enjoys playing football? And yeah,
he's not the time Brady was in two thousand and seven,
even two thousand and fourteen, but he still led the
Patriots to twelve wins and the playoffs. This is not
a man on his last leg. This was not Peyton
Manning in the Super Bowl, his last super Bowl. This
(05:06):
is a guy whose numbers we need. I remind you,
Rod Parker are not that much worse than your boy,
Aaron Rogers, only three years old. Stop it. And you
know the only teams they beat were bad teams, worse
they're bad. Don't use that. I'm not gonna use you,
(05:29):
gonna let come about whatever I want you because I
trump out. Don't talk about Aaron Rodger, talk about Tom Brady.
You don't want to talk about talk about Tom Brady's numbers.
You ain't talking right now. I let you talking. I
sat still with your music. Now let me talk. The
numbers are similar, That's what I'm saying. So don't tell
(05:51):
me he can't play. If you want to say it's
not as good as he used to be, that's fine.
He can still play, obviously. And if they're on twelve
games against bad teams, so be it. There's twelve bad
teams in the league keep making the playoffs. To call
him selfish with all the pay cuts he's taken, You
(06:13):
know he's right. No, I don't know he's right because
you were taking it then and now all of a
sudden you need to get paid. Your wife's still making
a gazillion dollars as a supermodel. What's changed? What's changes
now that Tom's got his pennies in a bunch because
he realized how Dumby was all these years by not
getting his value. Now, all of a sud he was
(06:36):
done because they never got Supermo, they never gave him
to play any other person, were as many as any franchise.
He's got six for White's dumb White. He's still rich.
San Brady was not just because of his wife. He's
rich on his own marriage. Why would you talking about
would you take less than your market value? It makes
(06:56):
no sense. And then say because he wanted to win,
because then get any players. They didn't get any players.
They didn't use them money to go get players. But
that's the whole point. They got enough players to win
super Bowls. Now, he told me he didn't have any
help with this year. This year, they had extra money.
Years why not. Why didn't they spend it? Well, they
need to spend it next year if they want to
(07:17):
keep him. Talk he made the ultimate You never devalue yourself.
Yet what he did he never got paid like a
star quarterback. Okay, okay, fine, but he's got suit six
super Bowls. He's widely universally known as the greatest of
(07:37):
all time. He's rich beyond his wildest dreams. What what
did he miss out on? Rod Parker? What had it
been better to make thirty million one year and have
four Super Bowls? What do you want? He's got six,
you're not making six. I am making sense and that
didn't Now why now, Chris? Just give me? Why does
(08:01):
he need more money now? He don't need more. Why
does he want more money now? Because it's his pard already? Word?
You told me it worked for six super Bow Why
would you change I'm gonna use that that worked for you.
You just said it worked. It didn't work, so why
you want to change it. I'm gonna use the prayer
don't even make sense. I'm gonna use a prime example.
Lebron James, when he first went to Miami, was willing
(08:23):
to take less than the max all right and that one,
and then he decided when he left Miami. From now on,
I'm getting the max. It's a change of heart that
these superstar after after have every right to do Chris
after twenty years, I didn't play for twenty years. Twenty years,
(08:45):
you're changing. Come on, man, I'm not buying that. This
is a selfish money grab by Tom Brady. Money so
much money can't even count. Everybody needs money. When you're
getting the paycheck from somebody, that's not That's not true. Everybody.
Whenever you're getting paid by somebody, you are you're still
a worker. No, Tom Brady wants not need money. False.
(09:07):
Tom Brady is a super guy wants to just get paid.
Shame on. Your boat is in full effect, hating for
no reason. You got the nerve. This dude is taking
pay cut after pay cut, and you're gonna call himselfish.
He's dumb. He's dumb. He was dumb. Food takes a
pay cut. Get what you want with what you should
have been your value. Because you want six super Bowls
(09:30):
just because nobody's done that. Just because you can't be
happy unless you're making the every last penny you can make,
doesn't mean everybody else functions that way, Robert, I told
you were no function that. When the contract negotiation a
fraction of what time Brady makes, I told him, I said,
I want the same contract that Chris Boussard makes plus
one penny, because I want to be the highest paper.
(09:55):
See that's you. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Odd Couple with Chris Broussard and Rob Parker week
days at seven pm Eastern, four pm Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeart Radio app. It is the
Eye Cup of Chris and Rob. All right, Rob, so
so go ahead and explain why you're mad at Dwayne.
(10:15):
I'm not mad. I just don't you know, like three
days sound like too much? You know what, you want
to be acknowledged. You go to the arena, they shower
you with gifts, and they put together a three minute
video of like great moments and you crying when they
won the first championship and when Lebron came and you
won the other two. Everybody feels good about it. Three days?
(10:40):
Did he feed? Not three? Not four? Not five? You know?
Did he feed? Did he feed like three hundred people
with three fish and five loads of bread? I mean
come on three days. Here, here's what stopping Dwayne Wade stopping.
Here's what has ribs panties in a bunch, to use
one of his favorite terms. The Miami Heat have announced
(11:02):
that the Way Wade is going to get a three
day jersey retirement ceremony. Robgi read the different days. They're
gonna do three, three different things each. They're just trying
to sell tickets. What is this? It is a good
team next year, Well, they screwed up and making at
the weekend of the Wilder Fury rematch, so no one's
will be paying. At Friday, February twenty first, they will
(11:26):
be holding an event honoring his career and the impact
he had on the city of Miami. This event will
be limited to season ticket holders and premium ticket holders only.
That's classic ch people. I like that. No, it's another
money grab, it's another money stop. It are they going
in for Freetob Hayden? Are they going on to day two?
(11:46):
Day two is the night his jersey will actually be
hung from the rafters when they're playing the Cavaliers. And
in day three on Sunday, they will screen a film
at the arena based on his life and they will
sell tickets to that one benefit his charity. So why
it's wrong with this right? Because you know why? Now
do you remember when he walked down on the Heat
and went to Chicago over one hundred thousand dollars? Now
(12:11):
what I remember? I remember Dave Away took less money
time after time after time he willed that team. So
he was dumb like Tom Brady taking less money. That's
his fault. And then he's gonna get all worked up
over one hundred thousand dollars and go to the Terrible
Bulls and then have to come back. And then he
goes and follows Lebron James to Cleveland. Lebron has no
(12:34):
use for him and dumps him after two months and
said get out of here. He crawls back with his
tail between his legs to go to Miami. No I
one night for him, and that's it. I get it.
Enough with the Dwayne way. That's seeds are different role.
This isn't nineteen seventy eight. It's not even nineteen ninety
(12:56):
eight or two thousand and eight. Heck, six of all
players are getting video tribute. They't go back, nobody the
Wayne Wade is mister Heat. They call it Wade County. No,
don't do that. Yes they do. He's mister Heat. He's
(13:16):
the greatest Miami Heat player ever. Here's the problem because
of his longevity. I mean, obviously Lebron was better, but
you know what I mean. No, you just say he's
mister Heat all I'm telling you give it. Give him
something extrac You don't give him the same thing you
gave Glenn Rice, just the lines old morning. Do you
give one above that wants one day to acknowledge his
(13:39):
how great he was for the organization and the overdoing it,
like even when he wanted that tour, the THEO puts
a little different because that was he put that. He
made it. Pat Riley and the Heat. This isn't there
was trying to sell T shirts. Can you imagine that
you could just be different if it was a sports
writer trying to sell T shirts on a website. But way,
(14:00):
you got a lot of nerves. Would You'll get robbed
dot com every other segment. Go to get robbed dot
com and buy an eye couple sweatshirt. We got hats,
we got T shirts, we got every look at you,
and you can go to Amazon dot com and get
my book. If I'm writing, I'm ripping. It's not like
the Wayne Way went to pat Riley say hey, Pat,
(14:21):
I've got an idea. Why don't you guys turn my
jersey retirement into a three day ceremony. No, they did it.
If if Fox Sports or the Detroit News, right you
worked there, yes, Black Holiday, free Press. If the Free
Press wanted to give you a three day celebration, Lord
(14:42):
knows you don't deserve it. But if they wanted to
give you a three day celebration, would you turn it down?
I would say there's no need for that, all right,
So day one will celebrate. On day two will go
out with brooms and sweep the streets to Detroit to help.
And on day three, day three, we would go to
the Superpark, super Kiss and feed the homeless and people
who are hungry. That's what I would want to do
(15:04):
with my two extra two days. Yeah, I bet you
go that you yes, Yeah, But I'm fine with d Wade.
I got no problem with this because it's it's the heat.
The jersey thing was a little bit self serving, and
that was him creating that. And and then his boy
Mellow wanted he made Mellow jealous. Mellow exactly. Even Mellow
(15:26):
thought he deserved it. But this is different. This is
the team. Look, if it wasn't for Dwayne Wade, let's
keep it real, they would not have gotten Lebron James.
So he is responsible for all three championship responsible that
franchise had when Dwayne. When Lebron walked out on Dwayne Wade,
Lebron won, he had unfinished business in Cleveland. Got a
(15:49):
problem with that? Yeah, you got a hometown, you wouldn't
go back to deliver what they have you in Jamaica,
Jamaica Queens. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk

Search f SR to listen live. Brian Shaw b Shaw
(16:11):
HELLOW like b Shaw a lot. Although I think he's
out of line. U can you talk about your board?
I don't. I don't think out of line is the
wrong phrase. He's wrong. I think he's wrong. But anyway,
he came hard, he came with a strong takee Lebron.
You don't think Lebron's vindictive a little bit? I really don't. Okay,
(16:31):
if he's vindictive, I don't know that he goes to
play for Dan Gilbert. So go ahead, here's the sound
of Brian Shaw. I know Rich Paul was trying to
sign Kyle Kuzma when he left his agent last year.
He didn't sign with Rich Paul. So when you don't
sign with Rich Paul and your trainer comes out and
says that Kawhi was giving it to Lebron, You're gonna
be out of the head. That was on Yahoo, and
(16:55):
that is, of course a former Laker player and coach,
Brian Shaw. He's just saying that Kyle Kuzma doesn't want
to be on strings like a d and everybody. He
didn't say anything about Kyle Couz he said about Lebron. No,
but I'm just saying, don't want to be on strings, like,
all right, do what what's good form Lebron? All right here,
First of all, what I'm told is that Lebron and
(17:18):
Kuzmer fine, Okay, there's no issues between them. Lebron's not
taking that to hard or anything like that. Okay what
his trainer said. Secondly, even if Lebron had an issue
with Kuzma, and I think you may even have to
admit this, Rob Lebron always puts business above when it
(17:40):
comes to basketball, business above his personal feelings. He was
boys with Dwayne Wade, but it was time to go,
so he left and didn't even tell him. Dan Gilbert
called him out of his name, and then some and
Lebron people in Lebron's inner circle net ever lost contact
(18:01):
with Dan Gilbert. They stayed in touch with him, stayed
on friendly terms with him. But then Lebron James goes
back and play. Now I know he wanted to go home. Still,
a lot of people would have been like, I don't
care how much I'm want to go back. I am
never playing for le Lebron Len. I'm not saying he forgave.
He didn't even be gave him, but he didn't. I'm
(18:23):
not saying he liked Dan Gilbert and was buddy buddy,
because he wasn't after that. But but he's still he
said business wise, I got something to take, but I'm
not gonna let my personal feelings stand in the way.
Let me finish this last thing. So if he had
beef with Kyle Kuzma, if it is not a trade
(18:43):
that makes them better, then Lebron would not have him traded.
That's all I'm saying he would only have him traded
if it's a trade in which they get better, because
business wise, Kuzma brings something to the table. I think
that Lebron the only reason need went back to Cleveland.
You don't want to be uh an outcast or a
(19:05):
villain in your hometown. Yes he would have been, Yes
he would have They he's become. You know the scene
when they were burning this jersey and all that, and
he would. Okay, I just, I just I just believe
Chris that that's the reason that that's the reason. But
poll had to go play for that guy. I got it.
I got it. Now, would you have done it? I
wouldn't have done it, but I didn't. Don't make it.
(19:27):
Don't act like I'm telling the easy thing to do.
I'm telling you, Lebron, because he would the way he
left his hometown, you just don't want that to be forever.
You can't go back and people are looking at you
sideways because you walked out on us in your hometown.
So I always believe he was with you. Okay, I
agree with you on why he went back. The point
(19:48):
is you still had to play for the guy that
went at you a thousand times. But the difference, but
the difference here with Kuzma is all right, Kuzma didn't
sign with your with your guys UH representation right with
with UH just Rich which Paul so so, so he
didn't sign with them, all right. He's not having the
(20:10):
greatest season. He's been inconsistent. Yeah, but he's coming out.
He missed training, came but I'm just saying he's been inconsistent.
So this could be a way to be like, well,
this guy's talking smack, because most of the time, where
does a trainer get off coming off about Lebron and
saying stuff that's probably stuff he got from Kyle Kuzman
when he was working him out. A lot of times,
(20:31):
Chris people worked out Kawhi too, so he might just
be like, yo, that's my boy. I helped Kauai work
on that skill set and Lebron didn't work with me.
You had the better skills. Yeah, they might have worked
with him, but he's what it cost trainer. Am I right?
I'm not sure how relationship. I mean Kyle's trainers, but
(20:53):
he worked with Kawhi too. He may work with both
of them equally or Kawhi for all we know. All
that I know is from the part that I thought
that it was his trainer, not Kawash trainer. But anyway,
my point is I can see where Lebron could could
move him. It's not like he's that third wheel that
you he is. He's there. Thirdly, you can't live without him.
(21:14):
I'm telling I don't believe that Kyle Kuzman is replaceable. No,
of course he's replaceable. It's replaceable. But if you get
what if you don't get somebody that can replace what
he gives you, That's my point. That's all. I'm not
saying Kuzman can't be trading, but we've seen just saying
they're not going to make a bad deal out of spite.
That's what I'm saying. You actually think that could happen
(21:35):
if they can move him for somebody. I'm just saying
I think that he was little dude saying if if
he even saying something about me, his trainer saying something
about me, so I'm gonna make our team worse, said
Kyle Kuzman, never come and get him out of here.
Did he ever come out and say he said he never?
He said he never said it? Like he tweeted call
(21:56):
a spade a spade, right, and he said that wasn't
applying to Lebron, But I don't know what it applies to.
We're just so happy to come out around the time
of the other. But here's the thing too, though, And
and you know this because you covered the NBA along
and the other sports. Teammates don't always have to get along.
And I'm not saying they don't get along, but you
(22:18):
know what I mean, Like, sometimes a little edge is good.
Like you could be on a TV show in the
afternoon and maybe you and the host don't get along.
I couldn't do it, but some other people can't, you know.
But but that that's my point. Like, and if they
didn't get along, and le Bron's trying to win a
champions and they could be pet I'm not making the
(22:38):
team worse by getting rid of Kyle Kuzman because something
his trainer said. I mean, come on, how petty could
you be? And I'm not saying if he don't if
he doesn't get if he gets traded, fine, I'm just
saying it's gonna be a trade that upgrades them. That's
all I'm saying. All right, are you with me? Will you?
I heard you at you then you've been to us
(23:00):
all day. That Brady take you started the show with
no that was a great Brady taking. You can't wait

s R. You're listening to the best of the Odd
Couple with Chris Brush and Rob Harker. Tom Brady, he
went on Instagram today and and let it all hang out.
He got emotional, he let his feelings loose. He was
transparent a couple of times. He didn't use an apostrophe
(00:42):
for don't but I'm not gonna hold that against him.
He was, he was in his feelings. Doesn't relate to
you for once? All right, all right, Rob Ge, tell
us what Tom Brady's in. Am I right about the
apostrophe us to us in a nutshell, Rob, you are
right number one, number two. It was like three and
a half pages on this post. It was long. He
(01:04):
thanked the fans, you know, thanked everybody, even quoted Teddy Roosevelt.
I don't know what had to do with anything. Well,
here's the closing sentence that matters. Beat up on your
Raiders year after year after he did it. One time
he cheated and they cheated. The most important that first
super Bowl came from that bad call that it that
(01:25):
that went against the Raiders. Okay, all right, go ahead.
Well you know Chris, me and Alex are both on
team Rob. Now sides Alex. Yeah, Alex doesn't even talk
to He passed me in the hall just before the show.
It didn't even look at me. No, he was he was.
He was afraid that you want to step on his Jordans,
So he staying away, all right. So once tom Brady
(01:45):
got out of his feelings, he closed it with this
definitive statement about his future. Oh God, you don't always win.
You can't. However, learn from that failure, pick yourself up
with great enthusiasm and place yourself in the arena again.
And that's right where you will find me, because I
know I still have more to prove. He's coming back America,
that's right, and he should come back and play football.
(02:10):
What's wrong with that? He still can play it. He
still can play it. Rob. Tom Brady couldn't do that.
Can he can? Tom Brady is doing NFL America a disservice.
This is nothing more than a money grab for Tom Brady.
This ain't about football. He feels jilty because he didn't
(02:31):
get the contract that Drew Brees got in retirement age.
Tom Brady wants to get paid all of a sudden,
and he'll leave the Patriots or try to strong arm them.
They're not gonna give a broken down forty three year
old quarterback, uh money. Tom Brady has some nerve. He
wants a paycheck, he wants a Social Security check, and
(02:52):
he wants his pension all at the same time. No,
Tom Brady, this is a selfish move by Tom Ready.
All these years he was supposedly I'm all about the team.
It ain't about money. I'll do whatever it takes to win. Now,
all of a sudden, when you're beaten down and you're
broken up and you can't perform your last two playoff games,
(03:16):
you've thrown a total of zero touchdowns. You right, you've
played horribly, and now we even have your highlights. We
know what it is. We're strowing ten years by Tom Brandon,
you got nerved to want more money now at the
ripe old age of forty three going on sixty seven.
I ain't paying how dare you, Tom Brady, and then
(03:38):
go on on Instagram and try to make it like, oh,
I'm so hip, I'm with the kids. I got so
much more to prove. You got nothing to prove. You're
just like every other selfish athlete that can't stay out
of the limelight, that can't walk away with dignity. You
wanna be Willie Mays, you wanna be Muhammad Ali. You
(04:01):
want to be Michael jordans All at the end, what
let me stop me back? You just go say you
go somewhere you He wants to be Muhammad Ali. It
didn't end pretty, frilly. He wants to be really mazed.
It didn't end pretty for him? Is that what you say? Us?
He wants to go out badly like that. That's what
(04:22):
he wants. Because he's athletes. You have to save them
from that corny going again, I won't call it corny,
but it's OUs. Corney under Rhames take Oh it doesn't.
That's that's gonna be a YouTube sensation. It's just a
matter of time gets it up. Yeah all right, but anyway, selfish? Yes,
(04:42):
how is he being selfish? He enjoys playing football? And yeah,
he's not the time Brady was in two thousand and seven,
even two thousand and fourteen, but he still led the
Patriots to twelve wins and the playoffs. This is not
a man on his last leg. This was not Peyton
Manning in the Super Bowl, his last super Bowl. This
(05:06):
is a guy whose numbers we need. I remind you,
Rod Parker are not that much worse than your boy,
Aaron Rogers, only three years old. Stop it. And you
know the only teams they beat were bad teams, worse
they're bad. Don't use that. I'm not gonna use you,
(05:29):
gonna let come about whatever I want you because I
trump out. Don't talk about Aaron Rodger, talk about Tom Brady.
You don't want to talk about talk about Tom Brady's numbers.
You ain't talking right now. I let you talking. I
sat still with your music. Now let me talk. The
numbers are similar, That's what I'm saying. So don't tell
(05:51):
me he can't play. If you want to say it's
not as good as he used to be, that's fine.
He can still play, obviously. And if they're on twelve
games against bad teams, so be it. There's twelve bad
teams in the league keep making the playoffs. To call
him selfish with all the pay cuts he's taken, You
(06:13):
know he's right. No, I don't know he's right because
you were taking it then and now all of a
sudden you need to get paid. Your wife's still making
a gazillion dollars as a supermodel. What's changed? What's changes
now that Tom's got his pennies in a bunch because
he realized how Dumby was all these years by not
getting his value. Now, all of a sud he was
(06:36):
done because they never got Supermo, they never gave him
to play any other person, were as many as any franchise.
He's got six for White's dumb White. He's still rich.
San Brady was not just because of his wife. He's
rich on his own marriage. Why would you talking about
would you take less than your market value? It makes
(06:56):
no sense. And then say because he wanted to win,
because then get any players. They didn't get any players.
They didn't use them money to go get players. But
that's the whole point. They got enough players to win
super Bowls. Now, he told me he didn't have any
help with this year. This year, they had extra money.
Years why not. Why didn't they spend it? Well, they
need to spend it next year if they want to
(07:17):
keep him. Talk he made the ultimate You never devalue yourself.
Yet what he did he never got paid like a
star quarterback. Okay, okay, fine, but he's got suit six
super Bowls. He's widely universally known as the greatest of
(07:37):
all time. He's rich beyond his wildest dreams. What what
did he miss out on? Rod Parker? What had it
been better to make thirty million one year and have
four Super Bowls? What do you want? He's got six,
you're not making six. I am making sense and that
didn't Now why now, Chris? Just give me? Why does
(08:01):
he need more money now? He don't need more. Why
does he want more money now? Because it's his pard already? Word?
You told me it worked for six super Bow Why
would you change I'm gonna use that that worked for you.
You just said it worked. It didn't work, so why
you want to change it. I'm gonna use the prayer
don't even make sense. I'm gonna use a prime example.
Lebron James, when he first went to Miami, was willing
(08:23):
to take less than the max all right and that one,
and then he decided when he left Miami. From now on,
I'm getting the max. It's a change of heart that
these superstar after after have every right to do Chris
after twenty years, I didn't play for twenty years. Twenty years,
(08:45):
you're changing. Come on, man, I'm not buying that. This
is a selfish money grab by Tom Brady. Money so
much money can't even count. Everybody needs money. When you're
getting the paycheck from somebody, that's not That's not true. Everybody.
Whenever you're getting paid by somebody, you are you're still
a worker. No, Tom Brady wants not need money. False.
(09:07):
Tom Brady is a super guy wants to just get paid.
Shame on. Your boat is in full effect, hating for
no reason. You got the nerve. This dude is taking
pay cut after pay cut, and you're gonna call himselfish.
He's dumb. He's dumb. He was dumb. Food takes a
pay cut. Get what you want with what you should
have been your value. Because you want six super Bowls
(09:30):
just because nobody's done that. Just because you can't be
happy unless you're making the every last penny you can make,
doesn't mean everybody else functions that way, Robert, I told
you were no function that. When the contract negotiation a
fraction of what time Brady makes, I told him, I said,
I want the same contract that Chris Boussard makes plus
one penny, because I want to be the highest paper.
(09:55):
See that's you. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Odd Couple with Chris Broussard and Rob Parker week
days at seven pm Eastern, four pm Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeart Radio app. It is the
Eye Cup of Chris and Rob. All right, Rob, so
so go ahead and explain why you're mad at Dwayne.
(10:15):
I'm not mad. I just don't you know, like three
days sound like too much? You know what, you want
to be acknowledged. You go to the arena, they shower
you with gifts, and they put together a three minute
video of like great moments and you crying when they
won the first championship and when Lebron came and you
won the other two. Everybody feels good about it. Three days?
(10:40):
Did he feed? Not three? Not four? Not five? You know?
Did he feed? Did he feed like three hundred people
with three fish and five loads of bread? I mean
come on three days. Here, here's what stopping Dwayne Wade stopping.
Here's what has ribs panties in a bunch, to use
one of his favorite terms. The Miami Heat have announced
(11:02):
that the Way Wade is going to get a three
day jersey retirement ceremony. Robgi read the different days. They're
gonna do three, three different things each. They're just trying
to sell tickets. What is this? It is a good
team next year, Well, they screwed up and making at
the weekend of the Wilder Fury rematch, so no one's
will be paying. At Friday, February twenty first, they will
(11:26):
be holding an event honoring his career and the impact
he had on the city of Miami. This event will
be limited to season ticket holders and premium ticket holders only.
That's classic ch people. I like that. No, it's another
money grab, it's another money stop. It are they going
in for Freetob Hayden? Are they going on to day two?
(11:46):
Day two is the night his jersey will actually be
hung from the rafters when they're playing the Cavaliers. And
in day three on Sunday, they will screen a film
at the arena based on his life and they will
sell tickets to that one benefit his charity. So why
it's wrong with this right? Because you know why? Now
do you remember when he walked down on the Heat
and went to Chicago over one hundred thousand dollars? Now
(12:11):
what I remember? I remember Dave Away took less money
time after time after time he willed that team. So
he was dumb like Tom Brady taking less money. That's
his fault. And then he's gonna get all worked up
over one hundred thousand dollars and go to the Terrible
Bulls and then have to come back. And then he
goes and follows Lebron James to Cleveland. Lebron has no
(12:34):
use for him and dumps him after two months and
said get out of here. He crawls back with his
tail between his legs to go to Miami. No I
one night for him, and that's it. I get it.
Enough with the Dwayne way. That's seeds are different role.
This isn't nineteen seventy eight. It's not even nineteen ninety
(12:56):
eight or two thousand and eight. Heck, six of all
players are getting video tribute. They't go back, nobody the
Wayne Wade is mister Heat. They call it Wade County. No,
don't do that. Yes they do. He's mister Heat. He's
(13:16):
the greatest Miami Heat player ever. Here's the problem because
of his longevity. I mean, obviously Lebron was better, but
you know what I mean. No, you just say he's
mister Heat all I'm telling you give it. Give him
something extrac You don't give him the same thing you
gave Glenn Rice, just the lines old morning. Do you
give one above that wants one day to acknowledge his
(13:39):
how great he was for the organization and the overdoing it,
like even when he wanted that tour, the THEO puts
a little different because that was he put that. He
made it. Pat Riley and the Heat. This isn't there
was trying to sell T shirts. Can you imagine that
you could just be different if it was a sports
writer trying to sell T shirts on a website. But way,
(14:00):
you got a lot of nerves. Would You'll get robbed
dot com every other segment. Go to get robbed dot
com and buy an eye couple sweatshirt. We got hats,
we got T shirts, we got every look at you,
and you can go to Amazon dot com and get
my book. If I'm writing, I'm ripping. It's not like
the Wayne Way went to pat Riley say hey, Pat,
(14:21):
I've got an idea. Why don't you guys turn my
jersey retirement into a three day ceremony. No, they did it.
If if Fox Sports or the Detroit News, right you
worked there, yes, Black Holiday, free Press. If the Free
Press wanted to give you a three day celebration, Lord
(14:42):
knows you don't deserve it. But if they wanted to
give you a three day celebration, would you turn it down?
I would say there's no need for that, all right,
So day one will celebrate. On day two will go
out with brooms and sweep the streets to Detroit to help.
And on day three, day three, we would go to
the Superpark, super Kiss and feed the homeless and people
who are hungry. That's what I would want to do
(15:04):
with my two extra two days. Yeah, I bet you
go that you yes, Yeah, But I'm fine with d Wade.
I got no problem with this because it's it's the heat.
The jersey thing was a little bit self serving, and
that was him creating that. And and then his boy
Mellow wanted he made Mellow jealous. Mellow exactly. Even Mellow
(15:26):
thought he deserved it. But this is different. This is
the team. Look, if it wasn't for Dwayne Wade, let's
keep it real, they would not have gotten Lebron James.
So he is responsible for all three championship responsible that
franchise had when Dwayne. When Lebron walked out on Dwayne Wade,
Lebron won, he had unfinished business in Cleveland. Got a
(15:49):
problem with that? Yeah, you got a hometown, you wouldn't
go back to deliver what they have you in Jamaica,
Jamaica Queens. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk

Search f SR to listen live. Brian Shaw b Shaw
(16:11):
HELLOW like b Shaw a lot. Although I think he's
out of line. U can you talk about your board?
I don't. I don't think out of line is the
wrong phrase. He's wrong. I think he's wrong. But anyway,
he came hard, he came with a strong takee Lebron.
You don't think Lebron's vindictive a little bit? I really don't. Okay,
(16:31):
if he's vindictive, I don't know that he goes to
play for Dan Gilbert. So go ahead, here's the sound
of Brian Shaw. I know Rich Paul was trying to
sign Kyle Kuzma when he left his agent last year.
He didn't sign with Rich Paul. So when you don't
sign with Rich Paul and your trainer comes out and
says that Kawhi was giving it to Lebron, You're gonna
be out of the head. That was on Yahoo, and
(16:55):
that is, of course a former Laker player and coach,
Brian Shaw. He's just saying that Kyle Kuzma doesn't want
to be on strings like a d and everybody. He
didn't say anything about Kyle Couz he said about Lebron. No,
but I'm just saying, don't want to be on strings, like,
all right, do what what's good form Lebron? All right here,
First of all, what I'm told is that Lebron and
(17:18):
Kuzmer fine, Okay, there's no issues between them. Lebron's not
taking that to hard or anything like that. Okay what
his trainer said. Secondly, even if Lebron had an issue
with Kuzma, and I think you may even have to
admit this, Rob Lebron always puts business above when it
(17:40):
comes to basketball, business above his personal feelings. He was
boys with Dwayne Wade, but it was time to go,
so he left and didn't even tell him. Dan Gilbert
called him out of his name, and then some and
Lebron people in Lebron's inner circle net ever lost contact
(18:01):
with Dan Gilbert. They stayed in touch with him, stayed
on friendly terms with him. But then Lebron James goes
back and play. Now I know he wanted to go home. Still,
a lot of people would have been like, I don't
care how much I'm want to go back. I am
never playing for le Lebron Len. I'm not saying he forgave.
He didn't even be gave him, but he didn't. I'm
(18:23):
not saying he liked Dan Gilbert and was buddy buddy,
because he wasn't after that. But but he's still he
said business wise, I got something to take, but I'm
not gonna let my personal feelings stand in the way.
Let me finish this last thing. So if he had
beef with Kyle Kuzma, if it is not a trade
(18:43):
that makes them better, then Lebron would not have him traded.
That's all I'm saying he would only have him traded
if it's a trade in which they get better, because
business wise, Kuzma brings something to the table. I think
that Lebron the only reason need went back to Cleveland.
You don't want to be uh an outcast or a
(19:05):
villain in your hometown. Yes he would have been, Yes
he would have They he's become. You know the scene
when they were burning this jersey and all that, and
he would. Okay, I just, I just I just believe
Chris that that's the reason that that's the reason. But
poll had to go play for that guy. I got it.
I got it. Now, would you have done it? I
wouldn't have done it, but I didn't. Don't make it.
(19:27):
Don't act like I'm telling the easy thing to do.
I'm telling you, Lebron, because he would the way he
left his hometown, you just don't want that to be forever.
You can't go back and people are looking at you
sideways because you walked out on us in your hometown.
So I always believe he was with you. Okay, I
agree with you on why he went back. The point
(19:48):
is you still had to play for the guy that
went at you a thousand times. But the difference, but
the difference here with Kuzma is all right, Kuzma didn't
sign with your with your guys UH representation right with
with UH just Rich which Paul so so, so he
didn't sign with them, all right. He's not having the
(20:10):
greatest season. He's been inconsistent. Yeah, but he's coming out.
He missed training, came but I'm just saying he's been inconsistent.
So this could be a way to be like, well,
this guy's talking smack, because most of the time, where
does a trainer get off coming off about Lebron and
saying stuff that's probably stuff he got from Kyle Kuzman
when he was working him out. A lot of times,
(20:31):
Chris people worked out Kawhi too, so he might just
be like, yo, that's my boy. I helped Kauai work
on that skill set and Lebron didn't work with me.
You had the better skills. Yeah, they might have worked
with him, but he's what it cost trainer. Am I right?
I'm not sure how relationship. I mean Kyle's trainers, but
(20:53):
he worked with Kawhi too. He may work with both
of them equally or Kawhi for all we know. All
that I know is from the part that I thought
that it was his trainer, not Kawash trainer. But anyway,
my point is I can see where Lebron could could
move him. It's not like he's that third wheel that
you he is. He's there. Thirdly, you can't live without him.
(21:14):
I'm telling I don't believe that Kyle Kuzman is replaceable. No,
of course he's replaceable. It's replaceable. But if you get
what if you don't get somebody that can replace what
he gives you, That's my point. That's all. I'm not
saying Kuzman can't be trading, but we've seen just saying
they're not going to make a bad deal out of spite.
That's what I'm saying. You actually think that could happen
(21:35):
if they can move him for somebody. I'm just saying
I think that he was little dude saying if if
he even saying something about me, his trainer saying something
about me, so I'm gonna make our team worse, said
Kyle Kuzman, never come and get him out of here.
Did he ever come out and say he said he never?
He said he never said it? Like he tweeted call
(21:56):
a spade a spade, right, and he said that wasn't
applying to Lebron, But I don't know what it applies to.
We're just so happy to come out around the time
of the other. But here's the thing too, though, And
and you know this because you covered the NBA along
and the other sports. Teammates don't always have to get along.
And I'm not saying they don't get along, but you
(22:18):
know what I mean, Like, sometimes a little edge is good.
Like you could be on a TV show in the
afternoon and maybe you and the host don't get along.
I couldn't do it, but some other people can't, you know.
But but that that's my point. Like, and if they
didn't get along, and le Bron's trying to win a
champions and they could be pet I'm not making the
(22:38):
team worse by getting rid of Kyle Kuzman because something
his trainer said. I mean, come on, how petty could
you be? And I'm not saying if he don't if
he doesn't get if he gets traded, fine, I'm just
saying it's gonna be a trade that upgrades them. That's
all I'm saying. All right, are you with me? Will you?
I heard you at you then you've been to us
(23:00):
all day. That Brady take you started the show with
no that was a great Brady taking. You can't wait
