0:01

This is the best of two pros

0:03

and a couple Joe with Lamarre Winn

0:07

and Jonas.

0:07

Knox on radio.

0:13

How's everybody's eyesight after staring

0:15

at one of the nerdiest events

0:18

that everybody geeks out about.

0:19

It was nerdy. Oh my gosh,

0:22

bro, it was, But you were there far bro,

0:25

Bro. This is what I'm telling you, guys. I've

0:27

been coming to State College obviously

0:30

for a lot of years, and Spike

0:32

Stadium, which is our minor league

0:34

baseball stadium, I have never

0:37

ever seen it remotely

0:39

close to field ever, And

0:42

yesterday it was

0:45

jam packed. Jam

0:48

packed because you were there for hell

0:50

no, because the sun in the moon was

0:52

there. The only

0:55

problem is the only problem is

0:57

that there was a blanket of clouds

1:00

up top all them. People

1:02

were out hollering screen. I think we made

1:04

like national news or something like that. I think there

1:06

was a national camera here. The

1:08

fans went wild too, by the way, that was the

1:10

only thing to go wild about.

1:12

And then you start.

1:12

Seeing people look like it's over there, And then

1:15

people started looking over there there.

1:16

They're like, no, it's over there. Then they started looking

1:18

over there.

1:19

Then people started running to different areas to

1:21

try to get a different view. It

1:23

was h it was. It was I

1:25

don't want to call my own people like

1:28

geek nerd Central, but it was, yeah,

1:32

it was. It was quite the crowd that was there

1:35

to see, uh see the

1:37

eclipse.

1:38

And those glasses. Have you guys ever used

1:40

eclipse glasses? Have you ever?

1:42

They're like opaque. It was

1:44

like the dumbest thing ever, Like, use these

1:46

to protect your eyes if if

1:49

you're not looking at the solar eclipse, you

1:51

can't see anything. There's

1:54

there's nothing to see here. You can't

1:56

even see a glimmer

1:58

of something through those glasses.

2:01

So there you go. That's your that's your

2:03

report the solar eclipse.

2:05

You got to pay for those glasses and they hand them out like you

2:08

go to a movie.

2:08

They well, I don't know if you have to pay them

2:11

everywhere, but we you know, we got them

2:13

for free.

2:14

They handed them out to us. They were complimentary.

2:18

I mean, I just I didn't

2:20

know that Spike Stadium was

2:22

the place to get some free shades.

2:23

When do you want to watch a bunch of gears?

2:27

I was more curious how the LeVar Islands

2:29

went down.

2:30

Uh you know what, bro So

2:33

yesterday, I tell myself, I'm going to take

2:35

a break from Long

2:37

Islands. I took a

2:39

break from LeVar Allens. But what

2:42

what had happened was I

2:44

had foul And that's

2:47

from a social

2:49

media anyway.

2:51

Uh. It was red wine yesterday,

2:54

so I was with.

2:57

It was it was so

2:59

unexped fact that yeah,

3:02

man, my man, Bob and John and uh

3:05

they they they

3:07

had quite the wine cellar and we

3:09

were spending time and we were talking about

3:12

things and planning things and strategizing

3:14

and having laughs and eating

3:17

really really good food. And

3:19

we had to have taken down at

3:21

least six bottles.

3:24

They had to be. Bro.

3:27

I don't feel bad. Actually, I feel better than

3:29

what I thought I was gonna feel.

3:31

Was it the high dollar stuff like

3:32

uh like a Rex Goliath?

3:36

Bro?

3:36

It was it was I

3:39

don't know the names. I mean they were saying

3:41

the names. I'm not a I'm not a wine

3:43

snob. That's why this was so unexpected.

3:47

But it was really good. They were

3:49

really good, every single one. And then they pulled out

3:51

they said, you know, if you use this, they

3:54

people will know it's something like pepper

3:56

nickel or or something.

3:59

It was a whiskey or something like that.

4:02

Wiener schnitzeled nickel.

4:05

Okay, I forgot it anyway, I'll

4:07

get it to you. I want one of these days. But yeah,

4:10

so apparently there was this crazy

4:14

whiskey deal.

4:16

Yes, there it is. That's

4:18

it. Yeah, that's it right, there

4:21

is a big deal.

4:22

I wish I could.

4:22

Yeah, it's expensive. It's expensive.

4:25

Now expensive? What are we talking for?

4:27

By the way, by the way, you're drinking

4:30

better than Rex Goliath.

4:31

I'm sure if you're drinking Patty all right?

4:33

Just what I

4:36

wouldn't even know.

4:37

I couldn't even Yeah, I couldn't even go

4:40

down there with you, Jonas because I didn't know where

4:42

you were at.

4:43

I don't know.

4:44

Let me help you out. Five ninety nine a bottle

4:46

around and by five ninety nine I mean

4:48

five dollars ninety nine cents, it's

4:50

as cheap as it gets.

4:51

Well, yeah, i'd say that I've

4:56

enjoyed Bearfoot in my life.

4:58

I like the was

5:00

it white Zinfandel? I've had white Zifandale

5:03

Barefoot?

5:03

It's exclusive to Barefoot, is

5:06

it?

5:06

Yeah? No, he's doing

5:08

it to you again.

5:09

What do you mean? Stop

5:11

we're talking shop here, man, I mean

5:13

stop. I'm

5:16

not being no, I'm not being mean. I'm trying to

5:18

entice.

5:18

Such a good mood.

5:19

I mean, if you want to go into a whole mode.

5:22

Because Brady has forgotten

5:24

more about wine than just about anybody I know.

5:27

So I'm trying to egg him on to go.

5:28

Down the whole of about attacking me.

5:31

No, no, no, I'm your bait.

5:32

No, it's it's me giving out wrong information

5:35

so he can correct me, because I want him

5:37

to come off and just showcase his wine knowledge,

5:40

because he really does know a lot.

5:41

Okay, you listen, I take it.

5:44

Yeah, I guess take that. Take that. Take that

5:47

wrong time? Is

5:49

it too soon?

5:50

Not the time?

5:51

Too soon?

5:52

Yeah, not

5:55

part of time yet.

5:57

But we got about two

6:01

hours and fifty three

6:03

minutes before I go right back to I

6:06

steamed though.

6:07

I got him. I steamed it

6:09

out, Jonas.

6:11

That was what we were choked about yesterday was a LeVar

6:14

was on the show from one of the from

6:16

like basically the facility where they set it up.

6:18

I said, it's gonna be.

6:19

Great when all the young players come down the locker room and Levar's

6:22

and they're using the steam room, all the facilities.

6:24

They're just hanging out, taking a shower the locker

6:26

room. They're like Oh, it's

6:29

far back. Who's this

6:31

guy? Like one of the linebackers walks

6:34

in and he's just like, oh, I got to compete

6:36

against this guy.

6:37

Well, that was one of the

6:39

ways to fix a hangover. Some

6:42

advice Brady give out on the radio years ago

6:44

was steam it out. Sweat it out, man, sweat

6:46

that out.

6:47

That's been done many and many of moons

6:50

in football locker rooms. Man Like,

6:52

yeah, that'll get you back to function and function

6:55

level, you know what I mean?

6:56

Does it reek like booze in the steam

6:58

room when you go in, or they have like some hibiscus

7:01

plants and things going there.

7:02

This one doesn't smell like hibiscuits.

7:05

It's not like more of a spall.

7:07

Like spalls have that nice smell

7:09

to a clean smell. This one didn't

7:11

smell bad. It just smelt like a

7:13

steam room, you know. It has like if

7:16

you've been in a steam room

7:18

or public one, a decent

7:21

public one like Equinox public one.

7:23

No, that's not a good example, because they smell

7:25

good. It didn't smell bad. It

7:28

just didn't have like that relaxing,

7:31

small smell. So but it was all

7:33

right. It was it was nice

7:35

and spacious, so I was able to lay down instead

7:38

of you know, sit up. So I

7:40

lay down in there, set my alarm

7:42

outside of the door, so I didn't like,

7:44

you know, die or anything in there. So I

7:46

heard my alarm and I got up out of there. When I

7:49

woke up, I came up out of the coffin a new man,

7:51

like you do every morning.

7:57

Well, listen, nothing new

7:59

in college basketball. Yukon

8:02

is your national champion. They improve

8:04

as a school to six

8:06

and zero national championship games, back

8:09

to back natties for Dan

8:11

Hurley and the Yukon Huskies, and

8:14

really it was just a matter of time.

8:16

You're watching the game last night and it's like, all right,

8:18

it's close early, but they're gonna do what they usually

8:21

do. They're just gonna wear them out and they're gonna

8:23

pull away and extend the lead. And

8:25

next thing you know, they're winning another game by fifteen

8:27

points. Pretty incredible round by Yukon.

8:29

Yet again, they are so much fun

8:31

to watch, you know when you think about,

8:34

like all the pieces they have on that team,

8:36

even the guys you're coming off the bench like Johnson

8:38

Diara, all those guys have

8:40

their role and they all come in, they execute,

8:43

they play the role to a t. Obviously,

8:46

Klingon had had a tough matchup, but

8:48

as the game war on, Eddie

8:51

cooled off after the first half, and

8:53

then Clington even got involved, and Johnson came

8:55

and off the bench, had a couple of nice alley loops, a couple

8:57

of nice.

8:57

Moments and played well.

8:59

And it's like, you know, the

9:02

combination of Newton, Castle and Spencer

9:05

like those three to me, Lar I talked about yesterday,

9:07

I really thought the big men would kind of cancel themselves

9:09

out, and Eddie probably had a

9:12

excuse me. Edie probably had a bigger impact

9:14

than what I

9:16

thought he was gonna have, at least early on. And

9:19

then once he got worn down and once they started

9:21

kind of pulling him out, you know, from

9:23

guarding around the rim, and you started

9:26

seeing the back cuts, you started seeing kind of the mid range

9:28

two when he would stay back like they kind

9:30

of just figured out different ways of really

9:33

forcing him to feel uncomfortable.

9:35

It just he became almost a non factor

9:37

at times. But those three,

9:39

in particular Castle, Newton and Spencer,

9:42

man, they're tough, like I. It

9:44

just they came up with shot after shot when they

9:46

needed to. Spencer was everywhere

9:48

kind of just did everything. And

9:51

what's awesome to me is, you

9:53

know, last year's team lost

9:56

what was it, three guys to the NBA,

9:59

I think five of their top like eight scores,

10:02

and yet they still not only returned to

10:04

go win another one, but

10:06

they do it in this even more dominant fashion

10:08

they did last year. Like when people make

10:10

comparisons to hey, this is just like the

10:13

Florida team back in six, so it's said,

10:15

no, that team brought back all five

10:17

guys. This was a

10:19

completely rebuilt team. This

10:22

is a huge credit to those players,

10:25

Dan Hurley, his staff, like all of them

10:27

coming together because every single

10:29

set piece, like when they needed to, they'd

10:31

run the clock down to about ten seconds and

10:33

then they just go execute and they hit their shot.

10:36

It was one of the most dominant performance

10:38

I've seen at a championship level in any sport

10:41

in a.

10:41

Long long time.

10:42

I hate to do this because we are

10:44

talking about the game and I don't want to said

10:46

track us, but it does take

10:49

me down the lane to ask, does

10:51

this further incriminate indict

10:55

John Kyler Perry.

10:56

Yes, yeah, I

10:59

just had to ask, you know which, By.

11:01

The way, we can't walk in the dog.

11:03

We're get somewhere pushing a stroller.

11:05

Get to him. He was pushing, they were

11:07

walking the doll. Bro that

11:10

hurt.

11:10

I thought he was a grand man man

11:13

the man that hurt, but also

11:15

just the audacity to be be like the most

11:17

talked about.

11:18

Thing in Leskin to Kentucky.

11:21

And you're out.

11:22

There walking around with

11:24

your dog acting like no one's gonna

11:26

say anything, no one's gonna ask you,

11:29

And of course someone eventually asked him.

11:31

He's like, Hey, I'm trying to walk my dog.

11:32

Like how out of touch are you with reality?

11:36

If that's how you operate in real life?

11:38

Like you were the singular most

11:40

talked about person in less than

11:42

Kentucky over the past forty eight hours, and

11:45

you're out pushing a stroller as you

11:47

normally walk your dog in and he broke.

11:49

No one's gonna say anything.

11:50

To you, And now does the dog have an ailment? And that's

11:52

why he was being pushed?

11:53

He broke man coat. I don't give a damn.

11:55

He broke man coat. Man coat was broken

11:58

dog.

11:59

I saw it.

12:00

I was like, oh, is he is he pushing his grandkid?

12:02

Is he's got to be a granddad?

12:04

Back now?

12:04

It was like, is he pushed. Then I read it and

12:07

sounds like his dog he's walking.

12:10

Actually I had to like comprehend it and

12:12

put the dog in the stroller.

12:13

I actually think it's I think it's worse

12:16

than a dog purse, to be honest with

12:18

you, because at least if you see somebody with a dog

12:20

purse and they've got some you know whatever they're

12:22

called inside the purse, it's like, well, at least they

12:24

got it strapped on their arm and they've got to carry

12:26

around that weight. He's pushing a damn

12:28

stroller with a dog in it.

12:30

That's bad.

12:31

Well, the worst part was the dog wasn't even in it. I

12:33

mean that that's like the reality is it's

12:35

for the dog at some point, But the dog

12:38

wasn't even in it.

12:39

I mean he was What

12:41

was he doing going grocery shopping?

12:43

What's pushing an empty stroller until

12:46

the dog gets tired?

12:48

It needs short legged dogs, they

12:50

get tired long distance.

12:51

Such a bad look. Oh gosh,

12:54

yeah, well.

12:56

Fire, Who is who is calmore out

12:59

of touch with the Kentucky fan base or

13:01

dog owners.

13:03

Dog owners one?

13:05

Yeah, although Kentucky

13:08

fans might be a close second, but dog

13:10

owners one is a much

13:12

bigger fan base. Yeah, it's bigger. It's

13:15

bigger, and they're they're obnoxious.

13:17

I mean the ones that are like all the way

13:19

at the end of the spectrum of over

13:21

the top dog because I'm a dog lover, like

13:23

I've always had a dog, but

13:26

I just.

13:27

Up sticks sticks. Yeah

13:31

yeah, but I.

13:32

Mean I don't go over the top like some of these other people

13:34

do. I mean I kind of go over

13:36

the top, but not all the way over the top. And and

13:38

I maintain Manko too, by the way.

13:40

There you go.

13:41

Well, listen, it was

13:43

a it was a day for the Huskies.

13:46

I know that since we're talking dogs, so.

13:49

That's a great pool.

13:50

My guy, as

13:53

as smooth as it gets. Now you

13:55

want to hear U Dan Hurley

13:58

this. He summed it up pretty nicely, and

14:00

I don't think he was trying to be super

14:03

cocky, but he was just being pretty

14:06

blunt and pretty honest about the performance

14:08

of his Yukon Huskies following

14:10

their second and back to back national

14:13

championship last night.

14:14

Like I said, I think yesterday, it was a privilege to

14:16

share the court with with Matt Painter and

14:18

Purdue, you know, one of the top programs

14:21

in the country. One of the best coaches in the

14:23

country and just total class

14:25

personified across the board with those

14:28

guys. So you know, obviously,

14:31

you know what could you say, we won?

14:33

Buy a lot again, Buy

14:36

a lot again. I love.

14:41

I love his antics.

14:42

I love how hyped up he gets.

14:44

You know, people on social media who hadn't seen

14:46

him all year to this point were.

14:48

Like, is this so the scuy always It is like, yeah,

14:50

dude, he is. I guess what.

14:52

He's won two national championships of back to

14:54

back years with almost two completely different

14:56

teams.

14:57

Like, just enjoy it. Just allow

14:59

him to be who he is.

15:01

Everyone on social media making a big deal about

15:03

the exchange between him and Zach Edy.

15:06

Look, he was out talking to the ref

15:08

and then Edie said something to him, Okay,

15:11

what do you want him not to fire back like that?

15:13

That's who he is. I have zero

15:15

problem with it. The players buy in, the coaches

15:18

buy in.

15:19

It's why they've been so successful.

15:21

Like thank you to Dan Hurley for

15:23

being this passion of a coach

15:26

that we lack in sports now.

15:29

It's just it's unbelievable.

15:30

It's like, you can't have the type of emotion

15:32

and antics apparently that.

15:34

He has even though it's been awesome.

15:36

Like at the very end of his game, his son gets in.

15:38

Did you see what was happening at the very end where

15:40

he he's asking his son to run out the clock because

15:42

son was mad at him.

15:43

That was like a father son moment.

15:45

It suddenly like the way he slammed the basketball

15:48

because they got a shocklock violation.

15:51

He was mad.

15:51

He wanted to take one shot and he was yelling at

15:53

his son to not shoot, just let it

15:55

run out and you can give the ball over to Purdue. It's

15:58

like, it's moments like that that I just I

16:00

love him, man. I think he is so good

16:03

for men's college basketball. If there's not a Brinks

16:05

truck from Lesson, Kentucky headed

16:08

his way to Connecticut or wherever the heck

16:10

he is at this moment that they are

16:12

missing out, And.

16:14

Keep in mind just super quick. I know we're up on

16:16

it. But that's the Hurley family,

16:18

by the way, the animated

16:21

super Fiery pumped up all

16:24

on go. That's their family.

16:27

That's the family treat. And they win, you

16:29

know, and they win. They've won championships

16:31

on every level. So good

16:33

for the Hurley family.

16:57

to get to.

16:58

And that's why we have a brand new pot cast

17:00

called over Promised. You see, we're

17:02

having so much fun in our two hour show. We

17:04

never get to everything, honestly,

17:07

because this guy is over promising

17:09

things we never have time for.

17:10

Yeah, you blubber list me.

17:12

Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should be

17:14

good at it because you've been over promising women for years.

17:16

Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show,

17:19

and we want you to be a part of it. We're gonna be

17:21

talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk

17:23

life and relationships, and if Rich and I

17:25

are arguing about something or we didn't have enough time,

17:27

it will continue on our after show called

17:29

over Promised.

17:30

Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make

17:32

sure you check out over promised and also uncensored

17:35

by the way, so maybe we'll go at it even.

17:37

A little harder.

17:38

It's gonna be the best after show podcast

17:40

of all time.

Good morning, Good morning to everybody.

18:07

Hello, Uh, Petro's

18:10

uh why are they making so many changes

18:12

to this Kobe Bryant statue outside?

18:14

Uh?

18:15

The crypto?

18:16

What are you talking about?

18:17

Just like all of a sudden, they're changing.

18:19

They had to fix it.

18:20

Yeah, shouldn't that have been fixed before?

18:22

We talk about that? Yeah, but they've made more changes.

18:25

Oh I didn't.

18:26

I haven't.

18:27

I haven't. I

18:30

didn't check the story.

18:31

I just figured.

18:35

Christiano Ronaldo did

18:37

They

18:41

They had to put some.

18:42

More say, Kobe had a pretty big puzza.

18:47

But you guys brought it up. Is that true? I

18:51

just said, are you guys making a

18:53

joke?

18:54

Like, have you

18:57

no?

18:58

Oh my goodness, let me look. It

19:00

looks like he's got elephant Titus.

19:04

Prisciano Ronaldo statues.

19:08

He had something to.

19:09

Do too with the artist, the consult the

19:11

artist.

19:14

Have you ever seen a statue at the airport,

19:17

the one that looks like Bizarro Rinaldo,

19:19

Like.

19:21

You've never seen that one?

19:23

No, it's at some airport in Portugal and

19:26

they like he was at the unveiling and they unveiled

19:29

it and it looked like sloth from goody.

19:31

Oh. Yeah, it looks like he's got like missing

19:34

teeth.

19:34

Yeah, that's yeah.

19:35

He's like smiling all goofyeh.

19:37

Look at that thing.

19:38

Wow, yeah, I look at that. Wow.

19:41

That is a bit of a bulge.

19:42

Huh and an old school uni.

19:44

Wow.

19:45

It looks like he's wearing a union.

19:46

I'm also texting a screen grab I just took to

19:48

make sure you have it.

19:49

No, I got it. Now, he's standing right under

19:52

it in the picture I have. So it's almost

19:54

like kind of resting on his gel on

19:56

the product on his hair.

19:58

Let's talk about statue bulges.

20:00

Uh.

20:02

Number one, you've

20:04

seen this Ricky Martin thing where he's got a huge

20:07

boner while he's getting a lap dance at the Madonna

20:09

show. That's

20:13

that's just on TMZ. It's the second story

20:15

up that is.

20:18

A full blown

20:20

matter. Yeah.

20:22

And then uh, I'd like to talk about

20:24

King Leonidas. Do you guys, are

20:27

you guys familiar with King Leonidas.

20:31

Or whatever?

20:32

The o LeVar uh

20:37

k.

20:38

Kingleanidas stopped the Persian hordes

20:40

of Xerxes. And

20:43

it's not just a comic book and

20:46

a weirdly put together movie by

20:48

the Sin City people written by the same

20:50

guy, by the way, who wrote Sinn City. It's

20:52

a graphic novel who's actually

20:54

a Greek guy. But his name is Frank Miller, and

20:57

he was He's actually behind the resurgence

20:59

of Batman when we were kids,

21:01

when the Michael Keaton Batman movie came

21:03

out, it was Frank Miller who

21:06

wrote a comic book, a graphic novel

21:09

that created recreated

21:11

interest in the Batman character called The Dark

21:14

Knight Returns, And that

21:17

comic book kind of spawned

21:19

the interest in Batman that started the

21:21

whole Batman thing again. When the Michael Keaton

21:23

movie came out in the eighties when we were kids, and

21:26

then you have you have

21:29

sin City, and then three hundred he wrote. Anyway,

21:32

King Leonidas is that guy. He was

21:34

the king of Sparta. He

21:37

took three hundred Spartans because they wouldn't let

21:39

him bring the whole army, and they collected

21:41

with other Greek armies because Greece was not a

21:43

country, a collection of city states, and

21:46

they stopped the Persian whores at Hoardes.

21:49

I'm assuming some of them, I'm

21:52

assuming. I'm

21:54

just assuming that many of the hordes were promiscted

21:59

and at at Thermoplate, like

22:01

like LeVar says, Thermopyli

22:04

is actually thermol Yes.

22:07

And here's the interesting thing. In

22:09

Greece.

22:10

There are at least that I know of, two

22:13

very very prominent statues of

22:15

King Leonidas. One is in

22:18

Sparta, which was the town

22:20

that they were all from, the city state,

22:22

the military based city state, which

22:24

is very interesting because it's very sparse

22:27

and kind of austere. Even

22:31

thousands of years later, Sparta is still

22:33

all blocked out, and the rest

22:35

of all the Greek cities are just absolute chaos.

22:37

But anyway, right in the middle of town is Leonard

22:40

Leonidas's grave and then

22:42

his statue and it's

22:45

a beautiful statue and it is clothed.

22:48

The statue at THERMOPYLI has

22:51

got his puzzo out and

22:53

they did him so dirty.

22:55

Oh wow.

22:56

They made his puzzo so small.

22:58

Oh wow.

22:59

And so it.

23:00

Almost looks like he couldn't stop one

23:03

Persian who as opposed

23:05

to the million Persian hordes.

23:08

And because

23:11

it's well, it's because it uh,

23:14

well they are the hot gates Brady, you know. But

23:16

uh, it's because big,

23:19

big, big members.

23:22

In some uh, in

23:24

some times of

23:26

art and sculpture, a big giant

23:29

member was seen as unsavory

23:33

or not

23:36

not in style. Yeah,

23:40

like the guy during COVID where

23:43

it would be like, you know, uh, some

23:45

headline like Michael Jackson comes back

23:47

to the Liveway and you click it and then it's

23:49

that guy sitting on the bed with his big poots. Right,

23:53

So anyway it was seen, I

23:56

guess, uh. And some you know, people argue

23:58

about whether the David has a big poots or not.

24:00

You know, he's a really big guy. So the pozas

24:02

you know, made the scale.

24:06

Well, you guys asked, I'm just out

24:08

saying.

24:08

You guys land with statue bulges

24:11

here, I'm taking you past in

24:13

the past.

24:14

You're giving us.

24:15

It's a historical right.

24:16

We're here like I love.

24:17

It, and you guys are like, oh god, I can't believe we're

24:19

doing this. You did this.

24:22

It was Brady and check King

24:24

and the statue at THERMOPYLI they

24:27

did him dirty.

24:28

I mean they got I mean he looks like a light switch

24:30

and that.

24:32

Was that was the fashion. Yeah, the

24:34

fashion of the time was that. Now the fashion

24:37

of the time is the leaning tower

24:39

of piece.

24:39

Between your legs.

24:41

As you can see, he's

24:45

pointed out, anybody

24:48

build a statue of this guy.

24:50

That's just like, you know.

24:51

Normal.

24:55

For a lot here, well

24:58

anything else.

24:59

Guys are sad at No.

25:01

So I did have just some thought. I wanted

25:03

to get your your thought. We were discussing.

25:06

Didn't you just ask about Kobe? Can

25:08

you let Brady ask a question.

25:10

Like he

25:11

actually actually

25:13

brought out the bulls your

25:16

question?

25:16

No?

25:17

No, you go ahead, come

25:19

on, petros Man,

25:21

go ahead, y'all, go ahead.

25:23

Go ahead, bar I

25:25

wanted to know about tackling. Yeah, I

25:27

wanted to hear Petros's conversation

25:31

points on tackling that's

25:33

what you you were. You were a thumper

25:36

for your team when you played ball.

25:38

And I hated tacklers.

25:40

I hated them, and I, you know, like a pitcher

25:42

hates hitters. I hated

25:45

the people trying to touch me, and I hated

25:47

them trying to touch the ball. I

25:49

just them, and I wanted them to suffer.

25:52

Now I don't feel that way. You're right, I don't feel

25:54

that way now. I

25:56

I'm really annoyed by

25:59

I mean, I look, I've been calling games

26:01

for a long time, and

26:04

when I first started calling games, we

26:06

were playing football, like I grew up playing

26:08

football. As

26:10

I continued over the years,

26:12

like twenty years of it, we've

26:14

all been here. The rules have changed dramatically,

26:18

but you know, it's

26:21

gotten to the point to me it's it's

26:23

like, where can we how can we get

26:25

one of these guys down. You

26:27

can't grab the back of their jersey,

26:30

the horse collar thing, which I get, I

26:32

get it, you know, Now this drop

26:35

tackle thing, It's like I

26:37

never had that problem because I was leaning.

26:39

So far forward, yeah.

26:42

That if anybody ever, if

26:45

somebody wasn't in my way, I was just going to fall

26:48

right. So I was very rarely in

26:50

a balanced running stance to where somebody

26:52

could drop tackle me, right,

26:54

if that makes any kind of sense of.

26:56

It does make sense.

26:57

Yeah, that was just.

26:58

My experience as a player.

27:00

I was so stilted, which is not a good

27:02

thing as a running bag that

27:05

I never really had that problem with drop tackles,

27:07

although people would grab my ankles

27:09

and piles and turn them all the way around. Thanks

27:12

a lot, Brandon, I have Badejia you're dirty bastard,

27:14

but overall,

27:18

I'm very very Look, it's gonna

27:20

come to the point where we're going to litigate tackling

27:22

out of the game, and

27:24

then what kind of game do you have? The game is only

27:26

interesting because you're getting tackled. Correct,

27:29

If it was flag or you're getting pushed down,

27:31

or somebody was like shooting you with a laser tag

27:33

and you lit up, it wouldn't

27:35

be football.

27:37

And I get

27:39

it.

27:40

I understand the game is more popular than ever,

27:42

and the more popular it gets, the less

27:45

the public understands it and doesn't

27:47

want to see how the sausage is made. And I get

27:49

it because probably in a perfect world the

27:51

sport wouldn't exist. But it's

27:54

a tackling sport, and I

27:56

always think of Troy Paula Malu, who I played with

27:59

and was kind of a marvel to watch because

28:01

it's it's amazing to watch a guy come in as

28:03

a freshman and become a Hall of

28:05

Famer, right.

28:07

I mean, we have that experience.

28:08

In football, all of us, but you

28:11

only see it once or twice in a lifetime up close,

28:13

like in practice with you every day and all that.

28:16

And Troy had a lot of problems

28:19

when he was starting out because he hit everybody

28:21

in the head right, and

28:24

he was knocking himself silly, and

28:27

even before concussions were a big deal.

28:29

I remember whispers in the late nineties like,

28:31

man, Troy is really, you know, beating himself

28:34

up with the way he's hitting people.

28:36

And then he adjusted and

28:39

he started hitting people low and

28:41

his head was fine, but everybody else's

28:44

legs started volume.

28:45

You know.

28:46

It's just like, you

28:48

know, you got to pick your poison.

28:50

It's a contact sport and that makes

28:52

it imperfect and tough.

28:55

And I really hate to see the way we're.

28:57

Litigating tackling now,

28:59

especially with the we treat the quarterback. It's

29:01

almost like, what are we doing? But

29:04

that's modern football. There's just a lot of money being

29:06

made, And I to answer

29:08

your question, I hate how they're trying

29:10

to delegate tackling, but I

29:13

hated it when they were changing the targeting

29:15

and all that stuff. And I can see that it

29:17

did some good in kind of adjusting

29:19

the way we engage out on

29:22

the field, although it was

29:24

a tough, long, arduous route

29:26

to get there. And all

29:28

these penalties and injustice and games and

29:31

kicking players out, which I hate seeing

29:34

like they did something you

29:36

know, illegal or terrible, and

29:39

you know, I mean, penalties to me are not that

29:41

you know, they're just part of the game. Combat

29:44

penalties, things that happen. And that's

29:46

what also bothers me, is like there's

29:49

so much interest in football today that

29:51

you have experts

29:53

quote unquote who have never looked through a face

29:56

mask, like they have no idea

29:58

how fast things happen out there, and

30:01

then they try to delegate from

30:03

there, and it

30:05

just it really it really chaps my hide,

30:08

so to speak. Well,

30:11

listen, I think I don't know what the answer is though.

30:13

I mean, there's just more money being made, so they're going

30:15

to make more rules.

30:16

No, I feel I feel everything you

30:18

just said.

30:19

Think of the Roman Empire, you know, by

30:21

the time the Roman Empire collapsed, there

30:24

was like two hundred holidays

30:26

out of the three hundred and sixty five days out of

30:28

the year, right, like they they

30:30

did too much. You know, we're

30:32

doing too much to our game and

30:35

we have too many holidays.

30:37

Well, it's never too much with the you Petros,

30:40

and we were happy to have you every seven Wednesday

30:42

year. I mean listen, you you turn

30:45

on Wednesday mornings at around eight

30:47

twenty Eastern time, and you'll get everything from

30:49

statue bulges to potential

30:51

solutions to the NFL and their tackling.

30:53

Well, you guys should look up over the centuries of

30:55

what penis size was in fashion throughout

30:57

the years.

30:58

Oh my point.

31:00

I mean, look, I just want to know.

31:01

What made you look that up to have

31:04

that knowledge.

31:04

At one point, well, I visited

31:06

the hot Gates and I said, why did they do?

31:08

Why is his puzzo so small?

31:11

Dad?

31:11

Why is my butso the same size as kat

31:13

Leonidas?

31:14

And I'm ate there,

31:19

but.

31:21

Damn dam why

31:25

is this big toe there?

31:27

Listen?

31:27

You know I go on the radio in LA and

31:29

say what I say. You know, you guys are on in

31:31

Poughkeepsie and you have a different vibe.

31:34

But if you ask me about statue bulges,

31:36

I'm going to go into my Leonidas spiel

31:38

and look, it's all I got people and lucky

31:41

I have something for statue bolts.

31:42

People all around the country now they're more educated

31:45

on statue bulges. I think we accomplished

31:47

something.

31:47

Just figure the sculptor when he gets in there, you

31:50

know, he's really in there, you know, like just

31:52

hammering out the creases in the shorts

31:54

to make the puzzo look.

31:55

Bit with that Ronaldo

32:00

right over his shoulder.

32:02

He checked

32:08

out that Ricky Martin picture like he's really

32:10

into it.

32:12

Somebody's got to stop Madonna from performing.

32:15

That was the That was the one that Sopriety

32:17

know that. That was the thing with Ricky Martin.

32:19

He betros if Dolly Parton is

32:21

performing at super Bowls or

32:24

performing at you know, what was the Thanksgiving this year

32:26

she performed.

32:27

Yes, I don't think what Donna's stopping anytime. So

32:30

yeah, I guess you're right.

32:31

Yeah.

32:33

So you ever meet Burt Sugar.

32:35

No, Burt Sugar was a really famous

32:37

sports box guy back in the day.

32:39

Yeah, boxing all that.

32:40

I sat next to him in a Heisman ceremony once and

32:42

He always wore a hat and had a cigar and

32:44

I put him on the radio. He always had the same line

32:46

too. I put him on the radio once and I

32:48

said, you know, are you wearing your hat right now?

32:50

Burt? And he said, does Dolly Parton

32:52

sleep on her back?

32:58

Would be yes?

the season on a Friday night.

33:56

I'm pretty good at juggling different

33:58

things. So yeah,

34:00

I mean, I think there's a relatively high

34:02

percentage chance that I would make it to the game

34:05

on Friday night.

34:05

Yeah, so you at least

34:08

be to get to the game. That would be the that would

34:10

be the goal, and then we'll figure it out from there.

34:12

Although although I've heard I've heard uber rides

34:15

down there, it can take you to weird places. I don't

34:17

know if that's true or not that I've heard.

34:19

Yeah, that's true, that's problematic.

34:21

The type of places.

34:25

Are you interested?

34:27

You'd be something a little strange, for a little

34:29

change, weird or so.

34:36

We were talking about how there's a

34:39

report out that the Vikings have set up a private

34:41

meeting with Jaden Daniels, and you know,

34:43

now the commanders are meeting with

34:45

Drake May and JJ McCarthy and they're

34:47

also meeting with Jade and Daniels, and there's

34:50

just like, it feels like this is a lot of the

34:52

run of the mill sort of stuff.

34:54

As we gear up for the draft coming up here in a couple

34:56

of weeks. But is there a draft story out

34:58

there, something that you've or

35:01

you've got any sort of intel on that you look

35:04

at and go, that's interesting that

35:06

could have a real impact near

35:08

the top of the draft or even in the first round.

35:11

Yeah, I think the one thing that already has is the Giants

35:13

at least creating the perception that

35:16

they're in on the quarterbacks right now. Whether

35:18

they are or not remains to be seen, but like

35:20

they're doing everything you would do if you were

35:23

going to take one, you know, And so that's

35:26

you know, they had McCarthy and may Inn at the beginning

35:28

of March, which is incredibly incredibly

35:30

early to be doing a thirty visit. Those

35:33

normally happen during April, like right around now,

35:36

and they went and worked a few of the guys out privately.

35:39

They showed up the pro days. So like

35:42

you at least say, the Giants have done

35:44

all the things you would do if you were going to take one

35:47

in the top ten, and

35:50

you know, like that does two things. One prepares

35:52

them if they are going to take one, but two

35:54

it also has created this perception that

35:57

they're the team that you have to jump over to get one.

35:59

If you want the fourth one. So you

36:02

know, Minnesota, Vegas, Denver,

36:04

Like, if one of those teams wants to go get the fourth quarterback,

36:06

now there's just a perception out there that they have to get

36:08

over the Giants to go get that guy. Well

36:11

could that be because that's what the

36:13

Giants want out there? And if the Giants want

36:15

that out there, well what would

36:18

the effects be? The effects would be that would guarantee

36:20

either Malik Neighbors or Marvin Harrison would

36:22

fall into their lap of six. So

36:25

you know, like, I think that that's one of the interesting

36:27

ones. I just think Denver's lurking,

36:29

Like I just like, you know, they've

36:32

been kind of quiet about their quarterback

36:34

evaluation and everything else. I

36:36

just know this, like Sean Payton loved

36:39

Patrick Mahomes seven years ago and

36:41

was very close to getting and would have taken them eleventh

36:43

overall, they wanted Marshall Lottimore in that spot,

36:46

so a good player. But you

36:48

know, obviously things probably go

36:50

a lot differently in New Orleans. If you

36:52

know, Patrick Mahomes is on the roster and

36:55

maybe Sean Payton's still there and so does

36:57

that linger with him? And if there is one of these

36:59

guys that he really likes that you get aggressive to go and

37:01

get get him.

37:03

You know, right now they're starting quarterback Jared Sidham.

37:06

I know, you know, Sean feels like he could go out

37:08

and play a season with Jared Sidham if he needed

37:10

to. I just you

37:12

know, there's a big part of me that wonders that they've got another

37:14

swing in them somewhere at that position.

37:18

What is the one thing you're keeping an

37:20

eye on right now, given it's it's

37:22

kind of that dead period before we actually get

37:24

to the draft. Is there any potential

37:27

trade, any potential signing

37:29

or something that couldn't happened that would change the landscape

37:31

of what the draft looks like come up the end of the

37:34

month.

37:35

Yeah, I mean, I think the receivers, Brady, you

37:37

know, Brandon Auk, T Higgins,

37:40

Now, like those guys aren't on the block per

37:43

se, but you

37:45

know, teams are gonna call and and and

37:47

and see, you know if

37:49

if either of those guys are available, you

37:52

know, and I think in both those cases, you know,

37:54

for those teams there's like a big picture element.

37:56

You know, they love the players, but you

37:58

know what what like if you pay T Higgins

38:01

at the top of the market, like then you're probably gonna

38:03

have to pay Jamar Chase more than you paid T. Higgins

38:06

and you've already got Joe Burrow in there fifty

38:08

five million dollars per Sore were talking about

38:10

between the three of them one hundred and

38:12

ten million, one hundred and twenty million per

38:14

year, you

38:16

know, and that's just in one phase of the game that you're

38:18

investing that, you know, So can you do that

38:20

if you're Cincinnati long term? Or is

38:23

it better to get a second round pick for T Higgins

38:25

and then you know, draft his replacement? You

38:28

know that that's the question. Brandon I Yuk. Obviously,

38:30

the Niners have a lot of mouths to feed. You know. They

38:32

paid Fred Warner, they paid Nick Bosa, they

38:35

paid Trevarius Ward, they paid Trent Williams,

38:37

they paid Deebo Samuel and George Kittle, they

38:40

paid Christian McCaffrey. You know. So you

38:43

know, if you're looking at it and you know something's

38:46

got to give over the next couple of years, would

38:48

that's something be Well, we've got a surplus

38:50

at receiver right now. You know, We've got

38:52

Deebo Samuel there. Kyle is really

38:54

good at scouting and developing

38:56

them. You know, is that

38:59

were you know, be you know, wind

39:01

up trying to save a little bit from a cash and

39:03

cap standpoint, So you know, those

39:05

would be those would be the guys I think, like right

39:07

now, I would look at and say,

39:09

if there's somebody that's going to be moved or talked

39:11

about being moved in the next couple of weeks that could

39:13

have materially affect things in

39:16

the draft, those those would be the guys.

39:19

You know. I think that those two guys, you

39:21

know, again they're not being shopped, but you know

39:23

the Bengals and Niners are certainly going any calls

39:25

on them.

39:26

AB can can you put

39:29

us up to speed on what's going on

39:31

in Dallas? I mean hearing

39:33

about there's the possibility of a CD

39:36

LAMB hold out

39:38

looming. Yeah, Michael

39:40

Parsons, They're they're complaining

39:43

about him and too

39:45

many people would be glad to see him

39:47

go. This sounds like

39:49

horrible dysfunction if

39:52

your two top players are

39:54

in the media for things

39:57

like this.

39:59

Well, it's Dallas, so I mean this

40:01

function just means that it's Thursday, right,

40:05

Yeah, But I I uh, you

40:07

know, I look the way I look at this. I think

40:09

it's similar to what we just talked about with Cincinnati,

40:11

where there's like a contractual bottle neck

40:14

coming, right, And the difference

40:16

is that, you know, where the Bengals have one of

40:18

those guys taken care of, the Cowboys

40:20

have zero of their three. Right. So it's

40:23

Dak, it's cd it's Michaeh Parsons.

40:26

And you can say we can wait for a year on Micah

40:28

Parsons to pay him, But is he going

40:31

to be okay with that? Right? Like, I don't

40:33

know, maybe he won't be, you know, because there was His

40:35

value is what it is right now. And Nick Bosa

40:37

got thirty four million a year last

40:39

year. You know, does he want to strike

40:41

while the iron's hot and push for a deal now?

40:44

You know obviously cdee lamb already waited

40:46

a year, and you know, if you wait

40:48

much longer, well, you know, justin Jefferson

40:51

could change the market at receiver, you

40:53

know, and then how do you compensate Dak? You

40:55

know, based on where the market went last year, where

40:58

Joe is making fifty five million

41:00

dollars a year, Now do

41:02

you go to sixty four? Do you go to

41:04

fifty six or fifty seven million, or

41:07

do you do you do you wait this one out? There's

41:10

a lot of big picture questions for the Cowboys

41:12

there at those positions, and you

41:15

know, it's a it's a credit to them like that they've

41:17

been able to identify and and

41:19

and and and and have

41:21

guys like that home grown on their roster.

41:24

But you know, in some of these cases,

41:26

waiting an extra year has sort of created

41:29

this situation where, now,

41:31

how do you take care of all these guys at once? I

41:34

think it's certainly going to be a talking point over the next

41:36

couple of months leading up to training camp.

41:39

He's Albert Brier joining us here on Fox Sports

41:42

Radio. It's LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas

41:44

Knox in for Dan Patrick and the guys here on

41:46

FSR. AL, I want to ask you because I know obviously

41:49

you're in and around the area there, and I know you've

41:52

been close to the organization for a long time.

41:54

In the Patriots, they're sitting at three,

41:57

what is the feeling as

41:59

far as what they do at that spot, because

42:01

if they don't love the separation

42:04

between the second and third best quarterbacks

42:07

potentially going at that point, is there

42:09

a chance that that's a team that could trade

42:11

back because it feels like they've got a lot to improve

42:14

on the roster.

42:15

Yes, I think they could trade back.

42:18

I think it's going to take a lot, though, So

42:20

what's a lot? You

42:22

know, like if you look like so, the

42:25

Niners spent three

42:27

first round picks to move from twelve

42:29

to three in twenty one. The

42:32

Redskins did the same move three

42:35

first round picks to go from six to two in

42:37

twenty twelve. So

42:40

I think that's the starting point of any negotiation,

42:42

especially for the teams that are coming from a little further down,

42:45

like the Vikings, say at eleven. Now,

42:47

the one thing the Vikings have that those other teams

42:49

didn't have is they've got two first round

42:51

picks this year, so they can offer,

42:55

you know, the Patriots eleven and twenty three,

42:57

you're going to have you have certainty, you know where those picks

42:59

are, and those guys are going to

43:01

be on your roster this year and then adam another first

43:03

round picks next year. So do Patriots

43:06

think about that? And beyond just that,

43:08

do the Patriots not only think about that? Do they think

43:10

about doing that trading down and

43:12

then trading back up if they really say like

43:14

JJ McCarthy, and you know,

43:17

like they look at it and say, okay, we want to we're

43:19

going to move down and now we're going to try to move back up to

43:21

four or five. I

43:23

think all of these things are in play with New England, and

43:26

you know, I think it's especially if here's

43:28

them and you look at it and you have like

43:31

May and MCA. You have May and McCarthy

43:33

close. Like if you think those two guys and

43:35

there's such vastly different prospects. But

43:38

like if you think that, if you think there's

43:40

merit to taking either guy, maybe

43:42

you talk yourself into that, you know, where you trade

43:45

down and back up. They're in a

43:47

really interesting spot because I think, I

43:49

mean, we know Chicago is sticking at one and taking Caleb,

43:51

and I think ninety nine percent the

43:54

Commanders stick at two. I

43:57

think it'll be Jaden. I'm not ninety percent

43:59

on that part of it, but I'm almost certain they'll

44:01

stay it too and take a quarterback. So,

44:04

you know, being being the first team,

44:06

you know, in that upper group that's willing

44:08

to move the pick could give you a lot of bargaining power.

44:12

Albert. You know, it's been a pretty soft

44:14

easy interview so far. I figured i'd just kind of throw

44:16

you a curt call. Any thoughts

44:18

on Aaron Rodgers and you know, the VP nomination.

44:21

With Robert F.

44:22

Kennedy back going through or some of

44:24

the conspiracy theories anything for the

44:26

out You have.

44:26

Any thoughts on UFOs or Area fifty

44:28

one.

44:29

Well, I wasn't Monday. Monday

44:32

was a Monday was a tough day for the flat earthers,

44:34

wasn't it.

44:36

Oh yeah, yeah,

44:38

yeah, the eclipse kind of throw.

44:40

You justify the eclipse the right, I'm

44:43

not sure. I'm not sure how you would explain that if you're

44:45

if you're if you're a flat earther. I mean, I

44:47

I don't know if if Hollywood has like some sort

44:49

of curtains or something like that that you can put

44:51

over the sun. Yeah,

44:54

so I like that that would be my first

44:56

thought, just just you

44:58

know, talking to what you guys were talking about there.

45:00

But yeah,

45:02

the the Aaron Rodgers vice

45:04

president presidential

45:07

campaign didn't last very long.

45:09

I will say that there might have

45:11

been some jets for people that were quietly

45:15

pleased to see it end, but I'm not sure

45:17

that they would ever admit that. I

45:19

mean, you know, and I

45:22

would also say this, there were some people in Green

45:24

Bay who were entertained by it.

45:26

Yeah, yeah, it does.

45:29

It does feel like there's a

45:32

portion of the media, whether you know

45:34

they want to admit this or not, that is

45:36

sort of rooting for the Rogers

45:38

experiment in New York to fail. Like

45:40

it does feel like that that there's kind of a slanted

45:44

view of him and whether it's his political

45:46

beliefs, yeah,

45:49

no, no.

45:49

No, that absolutely exists,

45:51

which is why I hate that everybody

45:54

has to draw everything on political lines

45:56

now. Like I'm just watching

45:58

football, man, I don't don't need to, like, yeah,

46:01

I don't need to relate everything

46:03

to who's on the right, who's on the left when I'm watching

46:05

a football game, you know. But that's what we've come

46:07

to, I guess. And I don't want to turn this into a deeper

46:10

conversation, but I guess we already

46:12

have since I killed all the flatter. If

46:14

there's about three minutes ago.

46:15

Yeah, well listen, it happens. But

46:18

ab we appreciate a few minutes to your

46:20

time here on a Thursday morning. He is Albert

46:22

Breer, senior NFL reporter also

46:24

lead content strategist at the MMQB

46:27

get him on X at Albert

46:29

Breer. We'll do it again next week. Thanks ab

46:32

All right, thank you, guys. All Right, it is the Dan Patrick

46:34

Show here on Fox Sports Radio. LeVar Arrington, Brady

46:36

Quinn, Jonas Knox with you, and right

46:39

now we turn it over to Nick co for some breaking

46:41

news out of the NFC. Breaking

46:46

news from Fox Sports.

46:49

All right, all right, guys, This comes from

46:52

the Twitter account verified from

46:54

OJ Simpson. Apparently

46:56

OJ has passed away, according to

46:58

a post made by his family

47:01

on his verified Twitter account. It says,

47:03

quote, on April tenth, which was yesterday,

47:06

our father, Orenthal James Simpson

47:08

succumbed to his battle with cancer. He

47:10

was surrounded by his children and grandchildren

47:13

during this time of transition. His family as

47:15

that you please respect their wishes for privacy

47:18

and grace. Signed the Simpson family.

47:20

Haven't had any media reports

47:23

of his death yet, but this from OJ's

47:25

personal verified Twitter account.

47:30

Well, I don't

47:32

this is I don't know how to

47:35

react to this. It is a tricky one.

47:38

Was it known that he was battling with cancer.

47:40

I saw that somewhere that he was dealing

47:42

with an illness, but I hadn't heard anything about

47:44

it in some time. Yeah,

47:47

so it's kind of obviously, we know, playing

47:50

career, you know, one of the best ever,

47:52

but then that court sort of takes a step back

47:54

when you consider all the stuff that happened afterwards,

47:57

the double murder and many

48:00

people feeling like he

48:02

did it and got away with it, just

48:04

kind of was able to kind of live

48:06

and do his thing and play golf

48:08

and play fantasy football, and it just sort of

48:10

we just sort of looked past that

48:13

and just kind of almost, I don't want to say we accepted

48:15

it. It just almost felt like, how's

48:17

this? How is he able to do all of this with that

48:20

in his past? And then it's

48:23

you know, you never want to see anybody pass

48:25

away. It's sad for the family, it's sad for the people

48:27

that had nothing to do with the incidents that took

48:30

place after his career. But this is surprising

48:33

obviously that this came out.

48:35

And so yeah, I think the one thing

48:37

that surprised me is when you go through

48:39

what he went through post career in

48:42

regards to what is accused of criminally

48:44

and I believe convicted of civilly, at

48:46

least in the civil court of law, which are two different

48:48

burdens of proof. But that being said, you

48:50

know the fact that he chose to be out in the open,

48:52

you know, he chose to be on the public eye,

48:55

which you know, you realize there's going

48:57

to be a lot of criticism and a lot of people who you

49:00

know, based on the allegations.

49:02

Believed he was guilty, believe he got away

49:04

with it.

49:05

So a lot of obviously mixed

49:08

emotions, I'm sure for people out there who

49:10

aren't really.

49:10

Sure how to you know, view

49:13

O. J.

49:13

Simpson because it's hard to remove

49:16

you know, what his identity was built by, which was

49:18

you know, his football career with obviously

49:20

what occurred afterwards.

49:22

I mean I still remember where I was when

49:24

that trial was going on and it was announced that he

49:27

was not guilty, like people, I

49:29

mean because talking about an uproar

49:31

in the country, like people feeling.

49:36

In a lot of way, yeah, I mean during

49:38

that time.

49:38

But yeah, I mean, you know, people

49:41

get old, they die, Oh

49:44

Jay's out of here.

49:45

All right there you go, Well,

49:47

well put here on football

49:49

player? Yea, he was. He definitely was,

49:53

uh you know, and that'll

49:55

be that and that's that
