0:01

You're listening to sports. Before

0:04

I get to my statement over here from

0:06

Salam, I would like to bid you

0:08

a pleasant evening. How are things going for you?

0:10

Good? How are you great? Fantastic?

0:14

Cannot complain? I could, but I won't.

0:16

So here's my statement with Matthew Stafford not

0:19

expected back with the Detroit Lions.

0:21

Okay, it's gonna make one simple

0:23

statement. It's just one sentence. I

0:25

want you to tell me if you go thumbs up, thumbs down,

0:28

and we'll expand. Matthew Stafford

0:31

he has more to complain about then

0:34

Deshaun Watson does. Yeah

0:37

your name, yeah, big

0:40

time. Yeah right, He's

0:43

been there for twelve years. Deshaun

0:45

has been in Houston for four And

0:47

we're not saying that Deshaun has nothing to complain

0:50

about, because of course he does. He

0:52

just doesn't have as much. He's

0:54

set to do bodily harm right now. Could you

0:57

imagine if he was in Houston for eight more seasons.

1:03

Detroit has been dysfunctional

1:05

as well. It's not just Houston. And

1:08

if you look at Bill O'Brien like

1:11

he left a lot to be desired, but as

1:13

a head coach, he looks

1:15

like Vince Lombardi compared to Matt Patricia,

1:18

who they just ran out of town. Patricia

1:20

was brutal. And at least you're

1:22

winning division crowns with Bill O'Brien

1:25

over there. So yeah, I think it's a no brainer. Stafford

1:27

has a lot more to complain about than de

1:29

Shaun does. Yeah.

1:32

Look, it's I played

1:34

in both places, and

1:38

that one one year for five years in Houston

1:41

one year in Detroit made me think

1:43

like, man, I should probably go do something else. Okay,

1:48

Well, and then some of the reasons why, And then

1:50

you ask yourself, why did Megatron

1:52

retire early? Why did Barry Sanders retire

1:54

early? Where guys

1:57

willing to give money bet to get out?

1:59

Yeah? Why do they have strained relationships

2:01

as all time players with that organization?

2:04

Right? It just being

2:07

on other teams. And I was fortunate

2:09

to, you know, to play at at a high level,

2:12

playing the Super Bowl, play with you

2:14

know, great head coaches, great organizations.

2:17

And then it just didn't

2:20

feel like the

2:23

NFL in Detroit. And

2:25

you gotta remember that was your twelve

2:27

for me. So I had eleven

2:29

years of

2:31

of of being in the league, and

2:34

in year twelve, I

2:36

said, oh goodness, and I

2:38

felt bad for Jeff Backus, Dominic

2:41

Riola, Stephen Peterman,

2:43

these guys who had spent

2:46

their entire careers with

2:48

the Detroit Lions, so they

2:50

didn't know what the other side of the NFL

2:53

had to offer, Right.

2:55

The best part about being a professional athlete,

2:59

of course, is the money. You're playing something

3:01

you love, But it's the

3:03

things that come with that, the perks,

3:07

right, the

3:09

the notoriety, the

3:12

the the love from from the

3:14

community, all of these things, and

3:17

it just and I'm not saying people don't love the Detroit

3:19

lines in it, but it just got so used

3:22

to not winning. It's

3:25

just a different feel. Yeah,

3:28

Oh, it's absolutely a different feel. It's

3:30

like, tell all old lineman that you mentioned,

3:33

it's almost like growing up in a dysfunctional

3:35

home. If you're a little kid, you

3:37

don't know anything else, Like that's what

3:39

you grew up with. Abnormal might

3:41

be your norm, you know, But

3:44

if that same kid goes from a dysfunctional

3:47

household to a functional one, it's gonna be

3:49

like, oh gosh, like this is way different.

3:51

So if some of those old lineman you mentioned that we're

3:53

spending years upon years in

3:56

Detroit, if they go somewhere else, it

3:58

would stand out even more crazy easy,

4:01

Yeah it was. And I really

4:03

felt bad because I would tell stories

4:05

and all that, and they were really just looking at me like

4:07

what, Like for real? I

4:10

was telling when I played in Denver, like

4:13

you didn't. I didn't have to pay for anything

4:16

ever, a meal or anything, right,

4:19

like those type of perks that come with wherever

4:22

you're playing. The fact

4:24

that, um,

4:27

you know you can. My

4:29

mother's birthday was, you know, uh

4:32

a Sunday. So after the game, I

4:34

called my favorite restaurant which

4:37

was closed on Sundays, and the chef came out

4:39

and opened a restaurant for me, my mother and my wife

4:42

and made us a five course meal for

4:45

nothing. Right

4:48

like that type of that,

4:51

it's not gonna happen in that's not happening. It's

4:53

not. And I feel bad

4:56

for Stafford, Like twelve

4:58

years is a long time to

5:00

be in that organization, and Jeff

5:02

Backers was there for like four fifteen years

5:04

or something like that, like about like Lomas

5:06

Brown who was there a long time before

5:09

that. Sure, yeah, I just look

5:11

at the Lions. They never want to playoff

5:13

game with Stafford there in

5:15

twelve years, And some of that is

5:17

on Stafford there's no doubt, but I think way Moore

5:19

has to do with the lack

5:22

of a quality roster around the guy.

5:24

Like to make it to be more about Stafford

5:26

than the roster is crazy to me. Stafford

5:28

is one of the better quarterbacks

5:30

in the NFL. He's an above average quarter You

5:33

can win with Matthew Stafford. I don't

5:35

think anybody has more fourth quarter comebacks

5:37

than then Matthew since he's

5:39

been in the league. Because for whatever

5:42

reason, Detroit will put them in these horrible

5:44

themselves, in these horrible situations where it took

5:46

some miraculous thing from him

5:49

to drive the team down

5:51

the field with seconds left on the

5:53

clock. So he got really

5:55

good at it. He got really good at it. So just

5:57

imagine if you can

6:00

and put him

6:02

with, you know, a

6:04

superior head coach, uh

6:07

pieces around, a good defense,

6:10

stability, you know,

6:12

not dysfunction. Since

6:15

we're talking about him, where would you say he

6:18

you know where would I have a

6:20

few teams in mind? And I think, I

6:22

like, there's a couple of teams that I like. One

6:25

is San Francisco would

6:27

be tremendous. Yes,

6:30

that would be great for him

6:32

in terms of weapons around him.

6:35

I like Denver. Denver's got a lot to work

6:37

with offensive lane. You've got Vic Fangio dialing

6:40

up the defense. Now, this is a hot tach key from

6:42

I don't expect this to happen, but I would do it.

6:45

It's not to be shock rock shock

6:47

jock radio guy here. But if

6:49

I'm the Cowboys, I let Dak walk

6:51

I trade for Matthew Stafford. If

6:53

you look at Stafford, what's left on his deal, He's

6:56

got forty three million remaining

6:58

on a team friendly deal over the next two

7:01

years. Like Dak, when he signs

7:03

his monster extension, he's gonna make

7:05

in the neighborhood of that in one year.

7:08

Like, there is no way Dak Prescott

7:10

is twice as good as Matthew Stafford. I

7:13

agree with that, He's not twice as

7:15

good as as as Matthew Stafford. The

7:18

team that sticks out to me is

7:21

New England. Mhmm. You

7:25

put Matthew Stafford in New England around

7:27

coaching culture right,

7:31

tie him into the Patriot Way, and

7:34

I think they get

7:37

back, especially in a division

7:39

that's on the rise. With

7:42

you know, we'll see what the Jets decide

7:45

that they want to do. But Buffalo and Miami

7:47

the strides, and both of these teams have taken I

7:50

mean, if you're in New England, why not. Man

7:54

As as far as coaching, stability

7:56

and stability, he

7:58

just got to get him some wide receivers to build

8:00

though, you know, but you know they got picked like

8:02

they can get him help. But

8:05

in terms of being how

8:08

many coaches and offensive coordinator, says Matthew

8:10

Stafford had in his in his career, I'm

8:13

going I'm going to I'm going to task our

8:15

resident producer

8:17

extraordinary, Lee Robert de Lapped

8:20

the fourth and to finding

8:22

that out. Think about Jim

8:24

Caldwell and Matt

8:26

Patricia and the list goes on and on. Jim

8:29

Schwartz. Jim Schwartz drafted him. I

8:31

was there that his Matthews first year.

8:34

I know Matthew and

8:37

so look

8:41

having weapons, what what do we

8:43

got? Lee? Join us? All

8:47

right, you guys, we're starting with Scott Lenahan in his

8:49

first year at two thousand nine, right, that's what.

8:51

Jim Schwartz is the head coach yet, and then we go to Joe

8:54

Lombardi. Then we got Jim Bob Cooter.

8:57

Oh man, I forgot about Jim Bob Cooter.

8:59

And now we have Darryl Bevels. So for

9:02

offense, no, not only how

9:05

many offensive coordinators is Tom Brady

9:08

had in twenty years? Right?

9:11

I think and think about this, right,

9:14

like, it's hard

9:16

every couple of years if you're changing

9:18

over your offense, no

9:22

matter what type of talent you have,

9:25

they're going to be complications. And

9:30

with just that stability in itself,

9:34

that's why I'm

9:36

so glad that Josh

9:40

Allen keeps his guy. Right.

9:43

The the strides we've seen Josh

9:46

Allen take in

9:49

one year just this year has

9:52

been tremendous, and

9:54

a lot of that has attributed to um,

9:59

yes, and yeah,

10:01

he's hot, he's hot, everybody

10:03

wants him. But I

10:05

was like, oh, if I was if I if I was Shallon,

10:08

I would go to him and be like, hey, bro, can you just give me

10:10

two more years? If

10:12

you give me two more years out,

10:16

what if if they're not paying you enough, I'll chip

10:18

you something on the side, Because

10:21

if he stays with Josh Allen for two more

10:24

years, oh goodness

10:26

gracious, and then I think he'll be ready

10:28

to be a head coach. So many

10:30

times offensive and defensive

10:32

coordinators rushed to be head coaches

10:35

and they're not quite ready yet. Yeah,

10:38

and we see that so much.

10:41

And what you do is you get into a situation

10:43

where you mess your opportunity up. Now

10:46

you gotta kind of start over, right,

10:49

And Stafford he's expected to

10:51

fetch at least a first round pick.

10:54

So and when you will get to Deshaun

10:57

Watson a little bit later in the show where

10:59

fair he's got his wish list out and

11:02

there are two a f C East teams at the top

11:04

of that list. Pretty interesting, So

11:07

it could be Stafford on the move.

11:09

Looks like that's going to be the case. Maybe

11:11

two Shawn on the move, maybe Whence on

11:13

the move. So this could be a really interesting weeks.

11:16

We know the fact that that

11:18

Stafford is going to be on the movie. He's moving, Yeah,

11:20

he's moving. That's it's not even a speculation. Whatever.

11:22

They have to do. Um,

11:25

when both sides agree, they

11:28

haven't agreed yet in Houston, but when

11:30

both sides agree, you gotta go

11:32

Houston. And James Harden agreed that it was times

11:35

part ways so that you

11:37

brought up the Beard because I want to compare

11:39

to Sean to the Beard. A

11:41

lot of conversation about that, so we'll

11:43

do that coming up. Hey, We're coming to you

11:46

from the Farmers Insurance Fox Sports

11:48

Radio Studios. Call Farmers

11:51

to switch and you could save on your auto insurance.

11:53

What else are you gonna do with your phone for the next few minutes?

11:56

Look at pictures of food with your friends. Right,

11:58

you're gonna do that again? No, All one,

12:00

eight eight Farmers for a quote.

12:03

We are farmers, all

12:07

right, big man coming up. We'll

12:09

get to uh Deshaun Watson

12:12

his wish list and a beard

12:14

comparison. How does Deshaun Watson

12:16

compared to the beard? We will tell you

12:18

next. I'm Brian No, He's from Salam This is

12:21

Fox Sports Radio. I'm Brian

12:23

No. He's e from Salam here on Fox

12:25

Sports Radio. By the way, what's up with people

12:27

not being able to drive in l A in the rain? It

12:30

doesn't rain, man, It

12:32

never rains in seven California,

12:36

but it does. It's raining right now. Yeah,

12:39

and people are a disaster driving

12:41

in the rain there. I've never I've lived all

12:43

over the place. I've never been in another

12:45

area where it's as bad as seventeen

12:50

times a year it rains. You know, it

12:52

throws people off, throws them off,

12:54

man, It's yeah, it's crazy. Over there, we're broadcasting

12:57

live from the Farmer's Insurance Fox

12:59

Sports Radio student yeos, call farmers

13:02

to switch and you could save a bundle on your

13:04

auto insurance. Okay.

13:06

So Deshaun Watson, Texans

13:10

quarterback for now subject

13:12

to change. Possibly. We've

13:14

got reports

13:17

of his list right his

13:19

wish list of teams he would like to be traded

13:21

to. Yes, James

13:23

Harden Like, remember the James Hardened list

13:26

when he wanted out of Houston and it

13:28

was starting to He's starting to add more teams

13:30

and more teams like, Okay, alright, if it's not

13:32

Philly, how about Portland too, We'll throw them

13:34

on the list. So Deshaun Watson is getting

13:37

his list out. Top choice reportedly

13:40

for Deshaun Watson the

13:42

Jets, number two

13:45

choice for to Shawn the

13:47

Dolphins. So he's been pointing

13:50

a couple of a f C East teams

13:52

and likes both of the head coaches over there.

13:54

He mentioned Robert Sala and you

13:56

know it, likes Brian Flores. What's not to like about

13:59

Flores? I mean, come on, he's turning the fins

14:01

around there. Crazy that Jacksonville

14:03

was not added on this list with

14:06

the Sean rit weird that he doesn't want to go

14:08

to Jacksonville and actually being a worst spot

14:10

than he is right now, I feel it and I understand

14:12

that. And if the Jets have heard this, I'm on

14:14

the phone. I haven't been off the phone yet,

14:18

right, I haven't been off the phone yet. Will

14:21

send you Sam Donald and

14:24

the second pick in the draft? If

14:28

that's all that would do it, then yes, absolutely,

14:30

I'd love that for Gang Green. I've heard as

14:33

much as like they've got four first round

14:35

picks for the Shawn. It's like, um,

14:37

I would hope to get a better deal than that. Whatever

14:40

it is, you have to take it. If

14:43

you're something, if you're if you're a team like the

14:45

Jets or something like that, like there's

14:47

you can't mess around first

14:52

rounders. Though, I'm just saying, I'm I'm just saying,

14:54

get a better deal than that. Are

14:56

we talking two first rounders

14:59

and a couple of you know, like a second and a

15:01

third or something something better

15:03

than just four first rounders for the Jets.

15:05

DeShawn Watson wherever

15:07

he lands, is going to be a top

15:09

tier quarterback for the next ten years.

15:12

So if you have pieces right,

15:16

if you're confident that you can build your

15:18

team through free agency,

15:22

right and and you're not building

15:25

your team through the draft, then

15:28

you gotta pull the trigger because

15:31

you can't miss out on an opportunity

15:33

to solve a problem that's been plaguing you

15:37

since Joe

15:39

Namath, right

15:42

Like, at some point you

15:45

gotta get it right and you keep guessing.

15:48

That's what the draft is. It's a guessing game.

15:51

It's funny sometimes that

15:54

a law. It's been slim pickings for the Jets

15:56

for a long time as the Bill Act. Excuse

15:58

me, the Browns above. That guessing

16:01

game and how that can wear that

16:03

could just wear on you. But it's

16:05

funny too because I

16:07

haven't run into a Jets fan that

16:10

says something critical of Chad Pennington,

16:12

who was Okay, he was if

16:16

they're just like, oh, Chad was really

16:18

really good, and it's like, no, he was just better than

16:20

the Hacks you've had. There's a difference. And

16:23

even they had Brett Farve when

16:25

Brett Farve didn't want to be there, right,

16:29

so he didn't. He wasn't bred Farve there

16:31

That next year he was bred Farve in Minnesota.

16:34

Yeah, but he definitely wasn't bred Farve. And

16:36

and and the Jets. They got off to

16:38

a good start, they were eight and three, and then knows

16:40

that because that's not him, that's not bred

16:42

Farve. You're taken

16:45

from Green Band moving to New York and he didn't want to

16:47

go to New York, right What

16:49

a crazy scenario. That was nuts. That

16:52

was nuts. We're not gonna send you to where you

16:54

want to go. We're not gonna send you in the division,

16:57

send you to the place you would never

16:59

go. Now, I want to play

17:01

something for you because Jay Glazer

17:03

was a guest with Colin cow Heard

17:06

this week and

17:08

he mentioned Jacksonville

17:10

specifically. So check this out from the Herd.

17:14

Oops one second here and don't mind

17:16

me. I was getting some

17:18

boys to boys to men music ready

17:20

for Okay, you got date tonight? No,

17:22

No, I'm sorry, So I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring down

17:24

I apologize something there with Lee

17:27

Robert de Lap, the fourth Green Bay Packers

17:30

coming to the end of the road like something

17:33

my bad. I didn't wasn't plugged in right there. But now

17:35

we're all squared away. Here's Jake Lazer on the

17:37

Herd. Why are you only bringing up the Jets

17:39

If I'm listen, if I'm Urban, I'd do it if

17:41

I'm he's a known commodity. You

17:43

you're not sure with as

17:45

much as we think Trevor Larrens and probably will be a

17:48

study and fields and you don't know, you

17:50

just don't know. But so many other busts that

17:52

we've seen it. Number one, pick number two, Big you

17:54

know what Deshan is. You know what it is on the field

17:57

and off the field. If I'm the first pick,

17:59

the second pick, the third pick, whatever it is, if

18:01

I have a chance to get to Shan Watson, I'm

18:03

sending whatever I have to

18:06

totally disagree. Did I not say that?

18:08

Totally disagree

18:11

with you, disagree with you.

18:14

You want to get this clear, Okay,

18:17

I know I said it first. Yeah, you said

18:19

it first, and you were wrong first. Now

18:22

Jay Glazer and everybody be breaking these and having

18:25

these hot takes when originally

18:28

they're coming from me. I

18:31

like, I like you're doing

18:33

the Lebron silence, sir. But I

18:36

was wrong first. That's what the big man saying

18:39

right now. I was not wrong first. And

18:42

if and if you still feel that way, then

18:44

you're still wrong. No, No, I'm still

18:46

right. I'll give you reasons why. Here's the thing

18:49

with the Sean. This is solely a Jacksonville

18:52

Jaguars thing. Any other team,

18:54

I would make a deal for him. If it's the Jets

18:56

at number two, if it's the Dolphins at number

18:58

three, I would make a move to

19:00

get Deshaun Watson. If I'm

19:02

specifically the Jacksonville

19:04

Jaguars, No, not doing it

19:06

for a few reasons. If you look

19:09

at Jacksonville, look at James

19:11

Harden. Okay, James Harden went from

19:13

the Houston Rockets to the Brooklyn Nets.

19:16

He upgraded. Do you think

19:18

that James Harden would have been happy going from

19:20

Houston to the Pistons. No,

19:23

he would have been ticked off. Do you think

19:25

that Deshaun Watson is going to be

19:27

happy regressing

19:30

from Houston to Jacksonville?

19:32

Why would he be happy?

19:35

It's like all I hear about it commodity.

19:37

Yeah, he's a known commodity who's great

19:39

on the field and ticked off off of it

19:42

because he's not in a situation where he can

19:44

win enough. You ever been out on

19:46

a date, right, you don't

19:48

know someone and you go out on a date and

19:50

you meet and you see him for the first time, you meet me,

19:52

like, oh my god, it's gonna be terrible. This

19:54

is gonna be terrible. I can't believe my

19:57

friends wrote me into this, right,

19:59

and then you go out right,

20:02

what are you gonna do? Oh? Well, you know i'd like to do this. You know i'd

20:04

like to do that too, So let boom. So now you're

20:06

you're at Dave and Busters. You're having a good time, You're

20:09

laughing. You're like, man, that's crazy. Man, I didn't even

20:11

know you knew how to play video games, and

20:13

oh I love video games. Boom, Okay, are

20:15

you gonna go get something to eat? Sure? What

20:18

do you feel like eating? You know, I'm really in a move for sushi.

20:20

I haven't had it in a Oh my god, I love sushi.

20:23

Really Okay, Wow,

20:25

that's crazy. Boom.

20:27

At the end of the night, when

20:30

you're dropping set person back off,

20:33

you're replaying the date in your

20:35

head like, wow, I had

20:37

a really good time. I

20:39

was not expecting to

20:42

have that much fun. M hmm, okay,

20:45

maybe this is okay. Oh really,

20:48

so that's Jacksonville. Look, I played

20:50

in Jacksonville, so I know it. That's that's a tough

20:52

sal you know what Jacksonville is Alright,

20:54

same scenario you go out on the date. You're

20:56

like, man, I can't believe my friends set me up

20:58

with this girl. You go the date, all of

21:01

a sudden, she's missing teeth, she has

21:03

nothing funny or interesting to say, she's

21:05

got a house arrest bracelet on. She's

21:08

just it's hard. It's worse than your thought. That's Jacksonville,

21:10

all right, that's more like what Jacksonville is

21:12

instead of wall pleasant surprise. Jacksonville

21:15

here with one playoff appearance in thirteen

21:17

years. There are no pleasant surprises

21:20

over there. And you

21:25

had me at video games. If you get If you're a

21:27

gamer and you like to play video games, sign me

21:29

up. But that's what I mean though, Like you

21:32

may get to somewhere and think,

21:34

oh god, here we go again, and then find

21:36

out the organization is bringing

21:39

you in. Right, Your last

21:41

girlfriend wouldn't let you decide where

21:43

to go eat. Your last girlfriend wouldn't

21:45

reach out to you in terms of, uh,

21:48

you know, anything you guys want to do are moving the

21:50

relationship forward. Now this girlfriend

21:53

is telling you, hey, what do you

21:55

think about this? Who do you

21:57

like in the draft with this

22:00

current roster? What do you think

22:02

when you played against us? What did

22:04

juice is our deficiencies. Now

22:06

you're sitting in there like, wait a minute, you really want

22:08

to know all this stuff? You mean, I can really

22:11

tell you what I want to eat tonight and it'll be okay.

22:13

I'm glad you brought that up. Because very attractive.

22:16

Even though it's not many places Jacksonville

22:18

traded for DeShawn. He'd be like, oh,

22:21

I get to select picks with

22:23

like the third round afterward,

22:26

right, because we've traded all of our picks to get

22:28

me here. It's like Carmelo go into the

22:30

Knicks. Initially you're trading

22:32

like the first overall pick, maybe

22:35

one or two other first rounders to get

22:37

DeShawn Watson. I'm not doing it.

22:39

I'm not doing it. If I'm Jacksonville. All this stuff

22:42

about allays the known commodity, that's great,

22:44

But Trevor Lawrence is a stud

22:47

in the making. And you can sit here and say, well, we

22:49

thought JaMarcus Russell was gonna be Marcus

22:52

Russell thought that, But go ahead,

22:54

don't talk trash about Trevor Lawrence

22:56

as if he's gonna be us.

22:59

No one said needed, No one said

23:01

that. But you put Trevor

23:03

Lawrence in Jacksonville with

23:06

the same things you just listed

23:08

off that would affect uh,

23:11

Deshaun Watson. What do you have?

23:14

You got a young guy with with nothing

23:16

to work with for years and years

23:19

and years. Really, really, they have things

23:21

to work with over there, but now they have to

23:23

talent. Yes, you just said they some talent, but

23:26

you just said they didn't said

23:28

that they wouldn't have first round picks

23:31

to work with. That's what I said. You gotta

23:33

listen over here, big man. I said, if you

23:36

you've got to package a bunch of picks to get the

23:38

Shawn over there, what's the point? Like you want

23:41

proven commodities, right like? This is

23:43

a this is a show me now business. Right

23:45

Like I told you the NBA drafts on

23:47

potential, the NFL drafts

23:50

on can you step across that line today?

23:53

That's what first round draft picks are for and

23:56

Trevor Lawrence can That's the

23:58

whole thing. Understand that Shaun wats it.

24:00

On one hand, he's a fantastic quarterback.

24:02

I don't sell him short. But if I look

24:04

at the other hand, and I'm looking at Trevor

24:07

Lawrence with my other first round

24:09

pick this year, with my first round pick

24:11

the next year, with some other asset

24:13

I would have to give up to get DeShawn Watson.

24:16

Oh, by the way, Shawn's making Listen

24:18

to this. The Shawn's making a hundred and

24:20

eleven million dollars in guaranteed money.

24:22

Trevor Lawrence on a rookie deal. He's

24:25

making half the cash over the length of his contract.

24:27

Look, I can argue this with you all day,

24:30

and we will get back to it. But I'll

24:32

tell you what. If this person was

24:35

on the trading blocks and he, if

24:38

our very own Stephen

24:42

Hugh de Sager was up

24:45

for trade, we give everybody

24:47

up, including

24:49

you and else four

24:52

Mike Ditka style, have our entire

24:54

draft take it. I saw a list

24:56

of big quarterback trades in the last

24:58

fifty years of the NFL. Oh, can

25:00

we just say there haven't been any this

25:03

big? Well, okay, maybe not, maybe not that

25:05

extreme, but I mean people on names on

25:07

the list is Nick Foles, Sam Bradford,

25:09

Carson Palmer, Jay Cutler, trade,

25:12

Matt Castle, Dante Culpepper, Drew

25:14

Bledsoe to Buffalo, Matt hassel Back

25:16

to the Seahawks. We all agree this would be even

25:19

if if it happens, would be bigger

25:21

than that. Yes, I

25:24

mean Joe Montana wound up with the Chiefs.

25:26

I assume that was with trade, but I'm not sure

25:29

about that. But it's it's a pretty short list

25:31

in our lifetimes. At least Steve Young was a

25:33

Hall of Famer who wound up via trade

25:36

finally out of Tampa Bay. And I there's

25:38

not a lot, you know, bigger than that,

25:41

And you know you don't do that. Once you have a commodity

25:43

like that, you do everything you can to hold onto

25:46

him. Which brings us to the quarterback

25:48

problem in Detroit because they have a new head coach,

25:50

a new general manager, a top ten pick

25:52

in April, and quarterback Matthew Stafford

25:54

will move on from the Lions. So writer

25:57

Jason lackin for a tweets tonight, I'm going

25:59

to go out on a limb and say to Rod

26:01

Taylor ends up in Detroit as a bridge

26:03

quarterback as they start to rebuild and

26:05

draft a quarterback since he has been

26:07

with Anthony Lynn with the Chargers and with

26:10

Lynn in Buffalo. And guess who's

26:12

the new offensive coordinator of the Detroit It

26:16

is the former Buffalo assistant Anthony Lynn,

26:18

the recent l a Charger head coach, and the Lions

26:20

new defensive coordinator is officially today

26:22

Aaron Glenn from New Orleans, where

26:25

head coach Dan Campbell was an assistant.

26:27

A trade with Stafford would likely happen by

26:29

March, when Staffords do a ten million dollar

26:31

roster bonus. He still has two years left on

26:33

his contract. The Lions franchise

26:36

has just one playoff victory since nineteen

26:39

fifty seven, when it won the NFL

26:41

title. In fact, I looked it up, Detroit's only

26:43

hosted two playoff games since

26:46

n Like,

26:49

I said, it's different there that

26:51

one year I was there. I was like, so

26:55

this is how it is basically. Uh

26:57

do you remember twenty years ago, wasn't it with Matt mill

27:00

and going in the future, the promise

27:02

of the Detroit I mean, wow,

27:04

yeah, you can't do that. You can't build your team

27:06

with seven straight first round receivers. I don't

27:08

know this doesn't think that that works.

27:11

Yeah, one of them just gotta work out, right, one

27:13

Well, he got one, right that

27:16

Charles Rogers. Anybody Mike Williams

27:20

NFC Championship game. He was like James

27:22

Harden in Houston this season. You

27:24

know it's too big, pulling

27:28

tackle. He came back to. You know, I don't

27:30

think you're gonna let down on the size

27:33

of the waste of James Harden on any Saturday

27:35

show for months he was the incredible

27:37

shrieking man. Did he not eat for three

27:39

days? He looks like his normal self when he was

27:42

surprising What happened when you could just go out

27:44

and run. Brooklyn is playing

27:46

with Kevin Durant and

27:48

Kyrie Irving and James Harden all

27:51

tonight, by the way, and Harvon Harden has not

27:53

taken a shot in the first quarter minute ago.

27:55

In the first quarter. They are up three

27:58

against Miami. And just for the record,

28:00

they're playing Miami in these half pink

28:02

uniforms, some sort of South Florida

28:04

tropical. Yeah. Yeah,

28:07

that's a proper response. Exactly. Uh,

28:09

we do at least half Kevin Durant on the

28:12

court because he was out due to quote rest last

28:14

night program reminder, Sunday's NFC Championship

28:16

game is Tampa Bay at Green Bay. It'll be on Fox

28:19

TV three pm Eastern time. Tom Brady's

29:42

going tonight, so make sure to buy

29:44

it. Carter McGregor, of course, is

29:46

the huge name, but he's only fought

29:49

twice in m m A in the last four plus

29:51

years. Is it me or are there a lot of people

29:53

at this thing tonight? It

29:55

looked like there are a lot of people in the crowd at Fight

29:57

Island. Yeah, looks like, well,

29:59

yeah, you're saying it's not Santa Clara County.

30:02

No, it's not, but it looks like it

30:05

seems like they're yeah,

30:08

well in there, it's not. L A. L

30:10

A is the Epicenter. So hey,

30:12

we're broadcasting live from the Farmers Insurance

30:14

Fox Sports Radio Studios. Call Farmers

30:17

Today for a quote. I'm Brian.

30:19

No, he's from salam Okay, you are about

30:21

to say something like, you know, it

30:23

took me a while, but I see the logic

30:25

key as Jacksonville

30:28

is actually better off with Trevor Lawrence,

30:30

who's gonna be a stud in the NFL and a

30:33

bunch of other assets that they wouldn't

30:35

have to ship off to get to Shaun Watson. Is that

30:37

what you were going to say? I was not going

30:39

to say that. But what what I will say

30:41

is it doesn't matter because

30:45

Deshaun Watson has no creed, no

30:48

trade cause in his contract. How did how did

30:50

they even let that happen? So

30:52

even if Jacksonville wanted him, they

30:55

couldn't. He didn't want to go there, He wouldn't

30:57

go anyway. How

31:00

about that? No, there's there's no

31:02

way he would go there. That's a that's another. So

31:04

we could sit here and argue back and

31:06

forth. So let's jump to the

31:08

Jets because that's on the top of his list

31:11

and they do have the second pick in the draft

31:13

plus other assets. They

31:15

have to do this deal. They

31:18

have to do this deal. So now we could just completely

31:20

take Trevor Lawrence out of the equation.

31:24

And I'm all ears, I am

31:27

open minded when it comes to Deshaun Watson

31:29

going to another team that doesn't

31:31

have a stud prospect

31:34

sitting right there, that they could just draft instead

31:36

of having to package all these picks to get

31:38

DeShawn Watson. So what's a different deal, Like

31:41

Jacksonville is in a different boat than the Jets

31:43

are. Yes, yes

31:45

they are. And if

31:49

you're the Jets, where are you willing to get

31:51

up give up for Deshaun Watson?

31:53

I'm asking you. I

31:56

don't want to give up four first round

31:58

picks. I want to get up better deal than

32:01

that. I would hope that I could not negotiate

32:03

a better deal than four first rounders.

32:06

That's just so much. You need so much

32:08

help a many different spots. So

32:11

you do it. If they're like, no, it's for nothing,

32:15

Yes, yes I would.

32:18

I would, because you're

32:20

going to answer the question, it

32:23

doesn't matter what you use those

32:25

other four first round draft picks on. You

32:28

can get a cornerback one year, you

32:30

can get a defensive end another

32:33

year, you can get a linebacker, you

32:35

get a dB, but you don't

32:37

have a quarterback. So all of those

32:39

guys are sitting there.

32:43

Look at Washington right,

32:46

Jase Young, he's a man. Does

32:48

it matter? No, they don't have

32:50

a quarter at five guys started quarterback

32:53

right? Look at uh

32:56

the boss. All

32:59

right, look, look look in San Francisco

33:01

before he got hurt, right, well, when when when the quarterback

33:03

went down, it didn't matter how much pressure he was putting

33:06

on quarterbacks. So

33:08

what you gotta do if you're the Jets and you

33:10

haven't been able to do this for a decade, address

33:13

the quarterback position. Are you gonna flip a coin?

33:16

Go justin Fields or someone else

33:18

that we have no idea what they're bringing

33:20

to the table. Are you gonna take a proven

33:23

commodity? Do you know we'll when Deshaun

33:26

Watson was dragging Houston's

33:28

dead corpse body for the last

33:31

four years by himself, including

33:34

a four and twelve record when he had his best statistical

33:37

season. But they have no offensive

33:39

line, they have no running game. They traded away

33:41

his best receiving options,

33:44

like they've they've decimated

33:48

that team, and he's still been dragging

33:50

them along. Okay, they won three

33:53

division titles, right,

33:57

They didn't do that without him. They

34:00

really weren't gonna do it without him. They won three

34:02

division titles. Last

34:05

year, they were up twenty four

34:07

nothing against the eventual Super

34:09

Bowl champions and what

34:11

happened? The wheels fell

34:13

off. But

34:15

unless you want to Shaun Watson to play dB

34:18

and defensive in two. You

34:20

can't put that on him, right,

34:22

Well, that's what I'm saying. It takes more than justice,

34:25

but you gotta have him. The Jets

34:27

have they haven't had him since Broadway,

34:30

Joe. I'm just saying,

34:32

negotiate a better deal. Who's the deal

34:34

though? What is the deal? What we're going with the

34:36

deal? What do you want to do?

34:39

Less than four first rounders? Okay? Three

34:41

first rounders? Okay,

34:43

that's better than four. You can

34:45

have all of them. You can have

34:48

you can have all of them because

34:51

I know I don't have to try and

34:53

find the quarterback these next four years. No,

34:57

I'm trying to negotiate the best deal

34:59

humanly possible. Bowl That's what I'm doing. All

35:01

right, Coming up next, we got a lot to get to, big man. I

35:04

want to get to this. Three major

35:06

storylines that are flying under the radar

35:08

heading into Championships Sunday.

35:11

That's on the way. I'm Brian no Heasy from salam

35:13

This is Fox Sports Radio. Brian

35:17

No he'sy from Salam here on Fox

35:19

Sports Radio. That's right. We're fond of the DJ Airhorn,

35:21

especially coupled with Slayer. We

35:24

love that big fan of e from

35:26

We are broadcasting live from the Farmers Insurance

35:29

Fox Sports Radio Studios. Call eight

35:31

Farmers and you could save a whole

35:33

lot of something on auto insurance.

35:35

Okay, three major storylines here, big

35:38

man, and I think these are flying under the

35:40

radar for the most

35:42

part when we look forward to Championships

35:44

Sunday tomorrow. Of course, Mahomes

35:47

and the concussion protocol that hasn't

35:49

been flying under the radar. But what I

35:51

do think is flying under the radar

35:54

the question will Mahomes

35:57

be a tentative runner? Think about

35:59

that? You mentioned this earlier in the show.

36:02

Deshaun Watson and the Texans. They had that

36:04

twenty four nothing lead last

36:07

season. Of course, remember the comeback from

36:09

Mahomes and then the next game against

36:11

the Titans, he had that great run

36:14

in the a f C title game for a touchdown.

36:16

So he's not known to be this

36:19

dynamic Lamar Jackson type playmaker

36:21

with his legs, but he makes things happen,

36:25

extending plays sometimes running

36:27

the football. Will he be tentative with

36:29

him getting knocked out of the previous game. I

36:33

don't think so, I

36:36

really don't. I don't think um,

36:39

he's even I'm looking

36:41

at it like that. I think number

36:44

one, I don't think it was a concussion. I

36:47

think he probably um,

36:49

like Jay said earlier on Colline Show

36:52

this week, to hurt, he got

36:54

a little choked out right,

36:56

he got that car karatic

36:59

nerve pinched and

37:02

that will put you out. Doesn't take long. Mhm

37:06

um. But the foot thing, we

37:08

saw him navigating the

37:10

toe and

37:13

I don't think that's going to

37:16

to hamper him in terms of,

37:19

you know, his mobility. He's not a big

37:21

runner anyway

37:25

right now. He'll get you, he'll

37:28

get you some extra

37:31

yards when you need it when things

37:33

break down, but he's not

37:35

going to just take

37:38

off and and and rush

37:40

for a hundred yards. No, we know that. But

37:42

he still he picks his spots. Right

37:44

when he got hurt in the game against Cleveland, that

37:47

was third down. So I'll tell

37:49

you this, the most he's

37:51

ever he has he's rushed for this

37:53

year six carries

37:58

for fifty four yards. Like

38:00

that's not if you take that away,

38:02

that's not gonna make him a different type

38:05

of weapon, you know what I mean. Like, if you take

38:07

the rushing away from Josh Allen, he's

38:10

not the same if you take it

38:12

away from Deshaun Watson,

38:14

they're not the same. If you take it away from

38:17

Lamar Jackson, he's not the same threat,

38:19

no doubt. If you take rushing away from Patrick

38:22

Mahomes, he'll be fine. He's gonna be

38:24

okay. But you've got to look at what

38:26

did you say? Fifty four yards and that's

38:28

one time. That's one time. No, but

38:30

you've got to look at we're not expecting

38:33

him to rush for over a hundred yards because

38:35

that's not what he does. But it's one of

38:37

those a third and seven

38:39

play where he drops back to pass and they're

38:42

in zone. He just makes something happen with his legs.

38:44

He can get there. That's a big first down, like if

38:46

he's not. We saw him doing that in

38:48

that game after he hurt his foot. He did that even

38:51

though it looked like he was running with glass in his shoe,

38:53

he still was able to move get three,

38:56

four or five six yards on a scramble.

38:59

Because so people are so concerned

39:03

with what he can do down the field. DBS,

39:05

linebackers, safeties, they turned their

39:07

backs to him. So he's

39:09

gonna have that room to run if

39:12

your defensive alignment aren't

39:14

discipline enough to keep that pocket

39:17

right, to keep him it will contained into that

39:19

pocket. Your dbs

39:22

in linebackers, there was they so worried about Kittle

39:25

and he'll and everyone else

39:27

on that that that roster on the outside

39:29

that he'll be able to get to seven the sixth,

39:32

he'll get those. But he just

39:35

got it was lights out, like lights out, Seawan

39:37

Merriman. It was lights out for Patrick Mahomes

39:39

last week. And I'm just saying he

39:41

might be willing to run, but he's not gonna

39:44

be willing to run the same way. He'll

39:46

he'll go, he'll slide, that's it. But

39:48

that's still that's not where he hurts

39:50

you. So even if he decided,

39:52

look, I'm not running at all, he

39:55

can still destroy you from the pocket,

39:58

something that's been completely over looked.

40:00

C e H. Clyde Edwards

40:02

a layer. He's questionable. Of

40:04

course, the regular season matchup, the

40:07

Chiefs ran at forty six times for two

40:09

D forty five yards. That

40:11

was a huge deal. So the running game,

40:13

we haven't even focused on the running game. It's just been

40:15

Mahomes, Mahomes, Mahomes. But e

40:18

H being questionable, that could be a big deal, all

40:21

right, we'll circle back to this. Also, are

40:24

there any explanations for the

40:26

unexplainable? Will investigate?

40:28

You know, big man, it's unexplainable

40:31

that Eric b Enemy still doesn't have

40:33

a head coaching job in the NFL.

40:37

But are there morsels that you could

40:39

point to and say, even though this doesn't

40:41

make sense, could this be part

40:43

of the equation? Right, So

40:46

let's take it piece by piece, like Denzel said

40:49

in Man on Fire, piece by piece? Have

40:51

you seen are you Denzel fan? There? Hey?

40:54

Man? If you like movies and you're

40:56

not a Denzel fan, yeah, something

40:59

and you don't like movies? What's

41:01

the new one called? Again? Uh? The Little

41:03

Things? I'm watching that when I

41:05

get home tonight. So

41:07

it's out now because it's not

41:11

up you know people who know other people are

41:13

you know? I am in the entertainment business, right, I

41:16

am in the union. I am in the Writer's Guild.

41:18

And part of our responsibility in the

41:20

Writer's Guild or to vote, uh

41:23

huh right, vote on upcoming films,

41:25

films that may not. I have them all at my house

41:28

and now I got a lot of DVDs.

41:30

But what I

41:32

like is studios are now getting

41:36

into sending digital ones

41:38

right, are they have an app? Well,

41:41

they'll old all their movies up on the app and

41:43

then they'll send you the link. You download

41:45

the app and you can type in your code. Simple

41:48

and you watch all the all the movies there. You know

41:50

what it's like. You're not even keeping more seats.

41:52

It's just it's simple, simple. We've

41:55

gone paperless basically like

41:57

that. Yeah, so you know I I do. Uh

42:00

have you know I'm privy

42:02

to the

42:06

you know, we all had choices. You wait

42:10

real fast before we get to the heart of this

42:12

with Eric baby Don Brown

42:15

are fearless leader technical producer.

42:18

Refresh my memory done. You've seen this

42:20

movie? Right? Were you not telling me about this last

42:22

week? No? No, no, no, no, I

42:25

was telling you about Tenants. Oh

42:27

okay, a different movie. It's

42:30

not Denzel, it's his son and in it. That's

42:33

right. It's a very good actor. Liked him

42:35

on Ballers. Had a very good role in Ballers.

42:37

Yeah. I like him. Outside of Ballers.

42:39

I think he could he gets to show his range.

42:43

Um, I mean, anybody

42:45

can play a football player, especially

42:49

if you were a football player. I mean he was a football player.

42:51

Remember Denzel used to go watch him in Uh, what

42:54

was it the uf US. What was it? Uh?

42:57

What lead? Did he play in a a F or

42:59

something? I don't know it was before then it was the

43:01

USFL, the not the un

43:06

the UFL. Right was it United Football

43:08

League or something? Is that the World

43:10

League with the fire or something like

43:13

seven people in the stands sitting

43:15

up in the corner by himself watching the sun play.

43:19

But anyway, with Eric B. Enemy, if

43:21

we take this piece by piece, like Denzel

43:24

said, right, let's

43:26

start with this. Alex Smith, Washington

43:29

football team quarterback. He

43:31

was on the Yahoo Sports NFL

43:33

podcast. He had this to say about

43:35

Eric B. Enemy still getting passed over for a

43:38

head coaching opportunity. I think it's

43:40

ridiculous that he hasn't been hired yet.

43:42

So I know that the interview process is weird

43:44

with the team that's still in it. But regardless,

43:46

I don't I don't. I don't see how you can excuse it.

43:49

I think Eric's number one quality, and

43:51

it was apparent from the first day I met him, was his

43:53

leadership commanded respect.

43:55

Because he gave respect. He could have he

43:57

could have strapped him up and ready to go, he

44:00

he would and I think that was something for

44:03

me that I love so much. There's not a

44:05

facet of a game on offense that he hasn't

44:07

been incredibly involved in. I don't

44:09

see how you can be more ready. Okay,

44:12

that's a high recommendation from Alex

44:14

Smith, and look, Eric

44:17

b Enemy's resume is worthy

44:20

of him landing a head coaching opportunity.

44:22

I think it's comparable to Adam

44:25

Gaze. Think about when Adam Gaze was over

44:27

there in Denver with Peyton Manning,

44:30

and Adam Gates has had a couple of head coaching

44:32

opportunities with the Dolphins and the Jets.

44:34

Like you could sit here and say, well, he

44:37

didn't call the plays, and well Doug Peterson

44:39

didn't either, and Matt Naggie with the Bears didn't

44:41

either under Andy Reid. So I think

44:43

that he is certainly deserving

44:45

of a head coaching opportunity. So

44:48

you start with that, it's ridiculous

44:50

that he hasn't landed a job. But something

44:53

that Alex Smith hit on the timing

44:55

of this, Brian Dable with the

44:57

Buffalo Bills, his name was

44:59

search you lating as a possible head coaching

45:02

guy. Right, he was gonna land a head coaching

45:04

opportunity, and no one

45:06

that's involved still in the playoffs

45:09

as a coordinator, any of those teams

45:11

that are still alive has yet to land

45:13

a head coaching opportunities. So is

45:15

that one of the factors, where

45:18

again it doesn't explain it fully

45:20

why it doesn't have a job, but is that one of the

45:22

contributing factors. I

45:25

think it may be that way

45:29

a little bit. But there have been

45:31

plenty of assistants who are going

45:34

to the Super Bowls and and deep in the playoffs

45:36

who get these jobs, So we can't I

45:39

can't put too much on it. I mean, uh,

45:41

Josh McDaniels took a job and then turned

45:44

it down, and they was right like

45:47

like he accepted a job and

45:50

his his team was going

45:52

to the or deep in the playoffs,

45:54

and and and so he took the job

45:56

and gave it back right all

45:59

while those playing. So I

46:02

don't want to put too much on that because

46:05

obviously it's a shame. And if

46:07

Eric Trully wants to be a head coach, he's done

46:09

all the legwork, the things you're supposed to do. Tremendously

46:12

successful can relate to players,

46:16

the respect factor having him

46:18

in you know, in that in

46:20

in the organization, and the respect that comes

46:23

from that locker room for for for guys

46:25

like that, some of these guys getting these jobs. I'm like, all right,

46:27

well, well good luck right, Well

46:29

we'll see right, because you know,

46:31

it's it's bigger than just

46:35

in this how just the name are

46:38

It's how are you going to relate to the locker

46:40

room? Because if your

46:42

team doesn't respect you, they

46:45

won't play for you. M and

46:47

we see it time and time again. Right

46:50

Detroit's in trouble, just f

46:53

y I and Stafford's on his

46:55

way out Detroit because whatever

46:58

Dan Campbell came to the debt, whatever that press

47:00

conference was, that's

47:03

not what you want. Know And as we get

47:05

this from Eric b Enemy, this is a press

47:07

conference that you do want where

47:09

he's being asked about still not landing

47:12

a head coaching job, and this focus

47:14

is all on the upcoming game with the

47:16

Chiefs hosting the Bills. Check this out. It's

47:18

always good to be mentioned and

47:20

and and having an opportunity to pursue your

47:22

dreams. And obviously, yes I do want

47:25

to be a head coach. But when it's all said

47:27

and done with, my job is to make sure everything

47:29

that we're doing right now is not to take away

47:31

from the goals that we're trying to accomplish. The

47:34

only thing that matters today we got

47:36

better. Okay, today we had an opportunity

47:38

to make sure we can take care of situational

47:40

football is for a short yardage goal line

47:43

in our third down situations. So

47:45

now it's time for us to go back in and

47:47

shop. Would watch this take and get

47:49

ready for the next day. We want to make sure

47:51

that we're getting our guys ready. My

47:53

own personal business when all that's time

47:55

to take care of itself, that will take

47:57

care of itself. I think that's a great

48:00

sponsored by him because he could have easily made

48:02

it about himself. And I've been

48:04

through X amount of interviews, I'm still not getting

48:06

a job. I don't know what's up with that.

48:08

And he was like, you know what, I'm focused on

48:10

the team. I'm focused on the Chiefs. We've

48:12

got an opportunity to get to another super

48:15

Bowl. That's not a lot about him answering the question,

48:17

you know what, and when you're interviewing

48:20

candidates for for head

48:22

coaching jobs, you know they're going

48:24

to be the CEO of

48:27

your corporation, right,

48:29

Well, yeah, you got the GM and all of that, but

48:31

the head coach, that's

48:34

the first line when it comes to

48:36

dealing with your players, and

48:38

that respect level is it

48:42

is from You need that. If you don't have that,

48:45

you're in an uphill battle. And

48:47

so if you

48:49

look at that, and here what

48:51

Eric had to say, and then you

48:54

listen to what Dan

48:57

said in Detroit, take a listen

48:59

to this. This team is going to take on

49:01

the identity of this city. The city has

49:03

been been down and it found a way to

49:05

get up, all right, And so this team is gonna be built

49:07

on We're gonna kick you in the teeth, and

49:09

when you punch us back, we're gonna smile at you. And

49:11

when you knock us down, we're gonna

49:14

get up. And on the way up, we're gonna buy a knee

49:16

cap off, all right, and we're gonna stand up.

49:18

And then it's gonna take two more shots to knock

49:20

us down, and on the way up, we're gonna take your other

49:22

knee cap and we're gonna get up. And then it's gonna

49:24

take three shots to get us down, and when we do,

49:26

we're gonna take another hankout of you. Before before

49:29

long, we're there going to be the last one standing,

49:32

what are you talking

49:34

about? Yeah,

49:37

it's it doesn't sound good. But you know what's interesting

49:39

to me is what's baked into that is

49:43

we think Eric B. Enemy should be getting a head coaching

49:45

opportunity. And it makes

49:47

Dan Campbell's statements sound even

49:50

more crazy, where I think

49:52

if Eric B. Enemy got up there, let's say, landed

49:54

a head coaching job, and he said the exact

49:57

same things, it would not be looked

49:59

at the same way. Granted there'd be some people that raise

50:01

an eyebrow like that was a little weird. It would

50:03

be a hashtag, it would be a T shirt.

50:05

It'd be way more popular than

50:07

when Dan Campbell says I'll tell you this

50:10

when listening to the When listening to

50:12

that, if I'm a player in that locker room, I'm like, oh,

50:14

we're in trouble because

50:17

what he's not talking about is football.

50:20

He's not talking about how to right the situation

50:24

right. He's using her

50:26

perboles and and and things in colorful

50:28

metaphors to create

50:32

this vision of toughness when

50:36

it's not necessary, Like

50:39

you, I don't need you to

50:42

over dramatize

50:45

how tough a team is gonna be,

50:47

because you know how We

50:50

measure toughness in the NFL wins

50:54

and losses, no doubt, no doubt.

50:56

So when you get up to talk about

50:59

Biden knees and I'm take the other one them and we're

51:01

gonna be the last one standing, that further

51:03

lets me know, Oh, he don't get it.

51:06

He don't get it. That's

51:09

not what you need. I remember

51:11

Jim Schwartz took the job there and I that

51:13

met with Jim when I came in there and he was like,

51:15

I'm gonna be here, I'm gonna change this. We're

51:17

gonna I just bought a twelve million dollar house. I'm not

51:19

going to nowhere. I was said, man, you ain't.

51:22

I don't know how you're gonna sell that out here, right

51:26

because and not the second thing with from

51:29

Jim, I love Jim. Jim's a great defensive coordinator.

51:32

Has been got in over his head in Detroit

51:36

like a lot of coaches too. So

51:39

what you wanna do is you wanna take a different approach, Like

51:41

if you're going into training camp like we're gonna bring

51:43

heads, we're gonna do this, then we're gonna are we gonna

51:45

We're gonna do Uh?

51:49

We don't we don't have a quarterback. We don't have no running

51:51

back. We don't have it. Like, what

51:54

are we doing? What

51:56

are we doing? I would prefer someone

51:58

sitting down there with a suit tie on saying,

52:00

hey, look, we're gonna we're

52:02

gonna look at this team

52:05

from the top down. We're gonna

52:07

start at the top and we're gonna go all the way down to the

52:09

last man on the roster, and we're gonna get

52:11

better from the

52:13

top down, right, And that starts

52:16

with the GM. Starts with me, the head coach,

52:18

position, coaches, training staff,

52:21

catering, cooks,

52:23

and players. And we're gonna figure out

52:25

how to come together as the Detroit

52:27

Lions and put

52:29

our best product on that field each

52:32

and every Sunday. And I'm going to work

52:34

tires tirelessly with

52:38

each department to find

52:40

out what our best and is

52:43

and can be. You you give me

52:45

that in our in our introductory speech,

52:47

I'm in. But when you start talking about bit

52:49

knee captain, pulling the hair and poking

52:51

eye like, I come on, bro, are you what you're doing?

52:54

What are you talking about? We're playing football? Hey,

52:58

We're coming to you from the Farmers Insurance

No, he'sy from Salam.

53:26

We're broadcasting live from the Farmer's Insurance

53:28

Fox Sports Radio Studios. Call

53:30

one eight eight Farmers and you could save a whole

53:33

lot of something on auto insurance.

53:36

It sounds like you should be fishing to this song,

53:38

you know. It sounds like a fishing song, do you big

53:40

man? Sure? I just

53:42

pictured Charles Barkley. How t n t they

53:44

do the gone fishing thing? And Charles

53:47

wears the hats where he's got like bobbers

53:49

and lures and all this fishing

53:51

tackle on his hat. That's what I picture someone

53:54

sitting there with that hat fishing.

53:57

It just sounds like that to me. You don't get that, Yeah,

54:01

yeah, I get that. I don't think you

54:03

do. I don't think you do. Are you a

54:05

big fisher? Not big dabble?

54:08

Hi dabble? I like to dabble, you know, of

54:10

my friends. I didn't know how to take this. You wouldn't take

54:12

Slayer out there on the lake with you.

54:15

Oh, I'd be totally fine with fish,

54:18

would be cool with that. But one of my

54:20

friends years ago, he's like, do you like to fish? I

54:23

was like, yeah, every now and then I like to fish. He goes,

54:25

you look like you like to fish. I

54:28

didn't know how to take that, which means you

54:30

look like you spend a lot of time alone. I

54:32

don't know, I just didn't. I didn't take that as

54:35

a compliment. No one goes on fishing

54:37

dates, so that means you look

54:39

like the type of guy who's sitting in the boat or on a

54:41

pier in

54:43

the morning. Some southern girls that get

54:45

down with fishing just fine. You know, it just

54:48

depends, just depends.

54:50

Okay, So, um, Tom Brady

54:53

is talking. We're listening. Here's

54:55

what Tom Brady had to say about

54:57

Aaron Rodgers. Check this out. You know, he

54:59

basically does everything well. So he's got

55:02

great command and experience, you

55:04

know, leadership. He obviously throws the ball

55:06

as well as any quarterback, and uh, you

55:08

know, it's a lot of explosive players he's got. So

55:11

you got a great football team, and uh, we're

55:13

have to go up and played played great football to beat him.

55:15

Okay, of course Tom's gonna say everything

55:18

just like he did. No bulletin board, uh

55:20

material, nothing like the all complementary,

55:23

all on the up and up, saluting Aaron

55:25

Rodgers. This guy does everything right except when

55:27

NFC Championship games. Okay, Aaron

55:30

Rodgers is one win out

55:33

of four NFC Championship Game

55:35

appearances. He is approaching Donovan

55:37

McNab territory. Yeah, that one win

55:39

came at home, right, That's right, he's

55:42

at home. He's at home again.

55:44

He's always said he wants he wants it, you

55:47

know, he wants it in Green Bay, and he got it in

55:49

Green Bay. I'm trying to think

55:51

back to that season because they

55:53

were not a division winner when they

55:55

went to the Super Bowl and

55:57

they beat Philly on the road, They beat

55:59

the Falcons on the road. He just diced

56:02

up the Falcons and Lee Robert

56:04

de Lap the fourth who was the NFC Championship

56:07

game against when the Packers made

56:09

it to the Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers,

56:12

Was that the Bears? That was

56:14

that was on the road as well, right, Yeah, so they were on

56:16

the road that whole time. They were

56:19

the last This is funny, right, Like they

56:21

are the last non division winner

56:24

to win the super Bowl, and

56:26

of course Tampa is a non division winner.

56:28

They're trying to win a super Bowl as well.

56:31

Now, the thing that's intriguing to

56:33

me about that. All that's well and good, but

56:35

Tom Brady is one game

56:38

away from being the first team

56:41

in NFL history to

56:43

be at home for Super Bowl. That's

56:46

right, yep, never been done before. I

56:48

think that's amazing. I do too.

56:51

I'm so intrigued about that because

56:53

I remember in when we went

56:55

to the Super Bowl and lost to Denver. The

56:57

super Bowl was in Atlanta the next year, so

57:00

I was like, we're going to be

57:02

the first team to to you

57:04

know, to to to get to play

57:06

it at home and twelve

57:09

and didn't. It didn't work out. Didn't work. Yeah,

57:13

it's unfortunate. There are some teams

57:15

like the Packers, right, they can never

57:17

host a super Bowl unless the NFL

57:20

got even more crazy. You know

57:22

what, we try to met life, Let's go to Green

57:24

Bay, what the hell? Right, Like, I

57:27

think that's gonna happen. But yeah, there have been some

57:29

teams to get to the Super Bowl and they're not even

57:31

in the running to host one. But it

57:33

is to your point, the Super Bowl fifty

57:35

five. There have been many host

57:37

cities where a team

57:40

is capable of getting to the Super Bowl and they never

57:42

have. So Tom Brady, that would be another

57:44

notch on the belt. Huge

57:47

Yeah. If he's able to he's that

57:49

off, oh

57:52

man, that'll be huge.

57:55

Yeah. And of course it's the one year

57:57

where they're expected to be like what thousand

58:00

fans in the stands at the Super Bowl. Of

58:03

course there's a pandemic and it changes things.

58:05

But if you look at Brady and

58:07

what he's accomplished this year, like

58:10

the guy is forty three years old. You

58:12

just start with that, okay,

58:14

and then he's going to his fourteen

58:17

conference championship game. That's

58:20

twice as many as the next closest QB,

58:22

which is Joe Montana. Joe made it

58:24

to seven conference championship

58:27

games. This is Brady's. And

58:29

they also look at the season he had. He

58:32

was second in the league in touchdown passes.

58:34

He had forty of them, only trailed Aaron

58:36

Rodgers, who's going to be the m v P. Brady

58:39

was third in passing yardage, just behind

58:41

Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes. The

58:44

dude is forty three years old and look at the

58:46

last game he from, Drew

58:48

Brees was a walking medicine cabinet.

58:50

This year. He's younger than Tom

58:53

Brady is and by

58:55

much like it don't make it seem like

58:57

it's like a year and a half. They're comparable.

59:00

For Drew Brees to have

59:02

eleven broken ribs, broken ribs

59:05

and what a fashion injury

59:07

and his wife was talking about a torn rotator

59:10

cover. The guy was breaking down

59:12

from a physical standpoint, and Brady,

59:14

who's older at forty three, is still

59:18

physically getting it done and also

59:20

production wise, he's one of the league leaders

59:22

in a lot of categories. It's insane to be that old

59:24

and do what he's done. Yeah,

59:27

I mean, look, he said he's gonna

59:29

play until he's seventy. No, that's not what

59:31

he said. He's he's

59:33

playing at a high clip. You

59:37

know. Let's say they do win the Super Bowl, does

59:39

he ride off on his horses? He John Elway,

59:42

I don't think so. He comes back. He wants

59:44

more, at least play out the last year

59:46

of of of that two year, fifty

59:48

million dollar deal. Yeah, right,

59:51

why not. He's having fun. They'd

59:53

be even better next year. I

59:55

think he gives us a Tim Duncan instead

59:58

of a John Elway. Tim Duncan,

1:00:00

you want a title. At the end, could have rode off

1:00:02

into the sunset. He was like, nah,

1:00:04

I want to keep playing. It

1:00:06

didn't quite work out going forward, but that's

1:00:09

what he wanted to do. I I see Tom Brady

1:00:11

doing the same thing. I don't know him personally, but

1:00:14

he's given every indication I want

1:00:16

to keep playing. Yeah, I think he honors

1:00:18

the contract. I think he comes back. Like

1:00:20

I said, They're only going to be better because

1:00:25

that will be a full year where

1:00:27

he's actually with the team. They know him.

1:00:30

Bruce Byron

1:00:32

left, which they all you

1:00:35

know, time can only make it better, it's

1:00:38

not gonna make it worse. And

1:00:41

then you know they can focus on

1:00:44

you know, they got I believe they got all the offensive help

1:00:46

they can they can possibly get our need. So

1:00:49

now they can make some moves, you know, one or

1:00:51

two defensive

1:00:54

pickups to solidify

1:00:57

that front seven and

1:01:00

and and you know, get a ball hawk down in

1:01:02

the secondary and then run this thing back.

1:01:04

Yeah, let me throw something at you. Does

1:01:07

the criticism of Tom Brady

1:01:10

intensify the further he

1:01:12

advances in the playoffs, meaning like,

1:01:15

if he loses tomorrow to Green Bay,

1:01:18

does the criticism of that loss

1:01:21

trump the criticism of whatever

1:01:23

would have been thrown his way if they had lost

1:01:25

to the Saints, right, or

1:01:27

or if they win tomorrow, with the

1:01:29

criticism of losing the Super Bowl trump

1:01:31

losing the ency Championship. I think he's playing

1:01:34

with house money, Tom

1:01:36

Brady. I think Tom Brady is playing with house money.

1:01:38

You'll be surprised. Tom

1:01:41

Brady was probably in the

1:01:43

top three of most disliked players in the

1:01:46

league when he was attached to

1:01:48

New England. I

1:01:51

myself have found

1:01:54

myself at

1:01:57

at different times as you're

1:01:59

pulling for Tom Brady, like

1:02:01

Tiger Wood's fist pump, polling for Tom Brady,

1:02:04

that type of thing, because

1:02:06

we've had that. I always

1:02:08

bring it back to dating, because most people can

1:02:10

relate and they've been in situations where

1:02:14

they may have come across this and dating, Like you

1:02:16

ever been with that girl where

1:02:19

or had a friend or something like

1:02:21

that where you know, maybe

1:02:24

a girl was dating your friend and you just you

1:02:27

know, your friend was a mess, she was a mess.

1:02:29

It just didn't look well it didn't work out well.

1:02:33

But but then you know she

1:02:35

goes off and she's dating somebody else, and you're

1:02:37

like, oh, she's not so bad, right,

1:02:40

Like, I felt

1:02:42

like that marriage between Belichick

1:02:45

Brady, the whole mystique

1:02:48

around the cheating, it just

1:02:50

wasn't a good look. That was a terrible

1:02:52

relationship. Although it was successful

1:02:56

from a fans point of view and a competitor's point

1:02:58

of view, it was a terrible Now,

1:03:01

Bill Belichick didn't make the playoff, the Patriots

1:03:03

sucked, and so now you get a little like

1:03:07

and then Tom is still going, he's prospering.

1:03:09

You're like that bad look,

1:03:11

man, I understand your point, I get it, but

1:03:13

I think that you are vastly

1:03:16

in the minority. Vastly.

1:03:19

Now people may not admit that because

1:03:21

they want to hold onto the hate or the perception of

1:03:23

the hate. But

1:03:25

but but I'll tell you, given

1:03:28

what it is, right because you got to separate

1:03:30

these two, Well, who was making the relationship toxic?

1:03:34

Was it Belichick or was it Brady? Like who's

1:03:36

responsible for the hate?

1:03:40

Belichick got his come up and steam

1:03:42

imploded? Right, So now that's

1:03:44

a little you feel at ease, Right,

1:03:47

Well, I just think it was a time thing. It's

1:03:49

been one thing. This is one year with Bruce.

1:03:51

Arians let them be together for

1:03:53

two decades the way Brady and Belie

1:03:56

it. But we know we're not gonna get that. It's just that's

1:03:59

what I'm just saying. Though I think it was time

1:04:02

together for that long. I think that was the

1:04:04

main reason the relationship

1:04:06

kind of deteriorated. That's the main thing

1:04:08

with Brady and Belichick. But like

1:04:11

people still despise Tom Brady,

1:04:14

they haven't let it go. You watch if

1:04:16

they lose the Green Bay. There will

1:04:18

be people celebrating like it's Christmas

1:04:20

morning, and it's like, oh yeah, look

1:04:23

at their path with Drew Brees gift wrapping

1:04:25

a win and Washington sub five

1:04:27

hundred, Like, hey, shouldn't lasted this

1:04:29

long. Like those critics will come out of

1:04:32

the wood world. Of course they will. But

1:04:34

that's what happens in a relationship breaks up.

1:04:36

Right, But if if a relationship

1:04:39

broke up on this show, we

1:04:41

know who won't be to blame.

1:04:44

Okay, we know who would be in the right. We

1:04:46

know who the world would

1:04:48

be pulling for. And that's our very

1:04:50

old Stephen. You

1:04:54

know the critics. Brian would also be saying, sure,

1:04:56

they had a five game winning streak going into last

1:04:58

weekend, but they Minnesota, Atlanta

1:05:01

twice, Detroit, Washington. Come on,

1:05:03

no, it's just you're right there. There's a

1:05:05

lot of material there to go on. And

1:05:07

speaking of material, as we head

1:05:09

in towards Tampa, Florida hosting a

1:05:11

Super Bowl, you're right that it's ever been in a

1:05:14

home stadium and of an NFL team. I believe

1:05:16

the closest we've come are these three in

1:05:18

super Bowl history. The Oakland Raiders

1:05:20

had a couple of Super Bowls in southern California.

1:05:23

Joe Montana had a Niner Super Bowl

1:05:25

win in the mid eighties at Stanford Stadium,

1:05:28

again not their home stadium. And the

1:05:30

L. A. Rams were in the Super Bowl

1:05:32

in January against

1:05:35

the Steelers. That was a great game. That was at the Rose

1:05:37

Bowl, again not the Rams home stadium.

1:05:39

Guess where the Super Bowl is next

1:05:42

year? It's at the L. A. Rams

1:05:44

New Stadium February,

1:05:47

and then Arizona is due to host after that. Obviously

1:05:50

New Orleans will get back into the mix down

1:05:52

the line. Well, we know the Rams and Chargers

1:05:54

are gonna be in that thing. Charges

1:05:57

might be the just

1:06:00

my inch closer to seven wins. Baby

1:06:02

steps over there with them. They got they

1:06:05

You can't make predictions before the off season

1:06:09

rules on this stuff.

1:06:11

You don't know who I mean. The NFL has last

1:06:13

to first constantly. That's part of the reason

1:06:16

why we love the NFL. I've been part

1:06:18

of going to both ways. I'm

1:06:20

going up and down. By the way, I saw

1:06:22

the TV ratings from last weekend, and you know how

1:06:25

everything in TV, including sports

1:06:28

period, the ratings are down this

1:06:30

past year. Last weekend that Fox

1:06:32

game Bucks at Saints was only down

1:06:34

five percent. It got over thirty five

1:06:37

million viewers on Fox, which made

1:06:39

it the most watch TV

1:06:41

program since the Super Bowl a year

1:06:43

ago. Thirty five million

1:06:46

viewers, and I assume more than that. Coming

1:06:49

tomorrow, Yeah,

1:06:51

exactly three pm Eastern time. NFC

1:06:53

Championship game will be on Fox TV Tampa

1:06:55

Bay at Green Bay. Then the late game will at Buffalo at

1:06:58

Kansas City. Chiefs defensive back Bashade Britland

1:07:00

cleared concussion protocol. Quarterback

1:07:02

Matthew Stafford will move on from the Lions.

1:07:04

NFL Network says the team has agreed to Stafford's

1:07:07

trade requests, so by March that will happen.

1:07:09

Detroit's new offensive coordinator is Anthony

1:07:11

Lynn, the former l A Charger head coach.

1:07:14

As for the NBA tonight, the Lakers are out

1:07:16

to a twenty fourteen lead at Chicago

1:07:18

late in the first quarter, as Chicago native

1:07:20

Anthony Davis has fifteen points

1:07:22

already for the Lakers. Meanwhile,

1:07:25

it's Utah up eleven on Golden State

1:07:27

final seconds of the first quarter thirty the

1:07:29

Utah Jazz. After only a couple of minutes, we're

1:07:32

up fourteen nothing. Timberwolves

1:07:34

at three and eleven so far are leading

1:07:36

mid third quarters seventy nine sixty

1:07:38

nine over the Pelicans. It's the Pistons

1:07:41

at three and twelve, tied with Philadelphia

1:07:43

seventy to seventy mid third quarter.

1:07:46

And at Brooklyn, the Nets lead is seventy

1:07:48

four sixty two over Miami in the

1:07:50

third quarter. And yes, the Big Three are all

1:07:52

playing for the Nets. Kevin Durant had rested

1:07:54

last night, but the leading score for them

1:07:57

tonight is Joe Harris twenty

1:07:59

points in looting from three point range

1:08:02

six of nine. In college

1:08:04

basketball, thirteenth rank, Virginia has

1:08:06

taken the lead on Georgia Tech fifty seven

1:08:08

fifty six with under five minutes to go halftime,

1:08:10

nineteen rank Missouri leads at number six,

1:08:13

Tennessee forty to thirty four,

1:08:15

and guys Duke is now five and five

1:08:17

this season, three and three in conference

1:08:20

play after losing it Louisville seventy

1:08:22

to sixty five, and so post

1:08:25

game, which is on Zoom these days, a

1:08:27

student reporter asked coach Mike Schevski,

1:08:30

what's the next step forward for the team?

1:08:33

Doesn't seem like a bad question. Coach did

1:08:35

not want to talk about that. This isn't quite the

1:08:37

biting your leg like you played in Detroit Lions

1:08:39

Rest Conference. But the question again

1:08:42

is just what's the next step forward for the team?

1:08:44

This is coach k what's your major at

1:08:46

Duke? What's

1:08:48

your hardest class? Okay,

1:08:51

so, say you just had

1:08:53

the toughest e con tests

1:08:56

in the world and when

1:08:58

you walked out, somebody asked you what's

1:09:00

your next step? Uh,

1:09:02

you said, what I mean is that you

1:09:04

have some empathy and coach Mikesevski.

1:09:08

One reporter tweeted that response and said

1:09:11

answering questions is part of his

1:09:13

nine million dollar annual can each

1:09:16

job? That was the stumper,

1:09:18

Yeah, what's the next

1:09:21

step forward? For the team and then you will make

1:09:23

the kid feel bad. That's right, right,

1:09:25

Like, I'm like, wait a minute. Anyway,

1:09:28

there you go. There's the update on duke basketball.

1:09:30

If you haven't been able to follow them, five and

1:09:32

five and then that good

1:09:35

stuff. Steve the Seer Brian No, he'sy

a whole lot of something on

1:09:46

your auto insurance. That's

1:09:49

a guy, coach k that's not used to being five

1:09:51

and five, right, Like, that's no excuse

1:09:53

for the way that he handled that. That was terrible,

1:09:55

But that's a guy who's a fish out of water with a

1:09:57

five record. You not

1:10:00

used to that, man, he just decimated

1:10:02

that kid. All right?

1:10:04

Wait what that

1:10:07

was a fair question?

1:10:11

Yeah, yeah, he's not used

1:10:13

to that. That's uncharted territory

1:10:16

for I have been five and five.

1:10:18

I'd love to know the last time they were

1:10:20

five and five to begin a season, because

1:10:22

those are your dog opponents, those nonconference

1:10:25

games at the beginning of a year. Yeah,

1:10:31

I just I just flashed back to Dan

1:10:33

Marino. He lost a playoff

1:10:35

game, and he snapped at a reporter who asked

1:10:37

a fair question. He was like, you wouldn't know,

1:10:40

would you. You You wouldn't know what it's like to lose

1:10:42

that way, would you? Like sometimes you lose your

1:10:44

head. You're competitive like that. It's not

1:10:47

I'm not apologizing for him. They

1:10:49

were in the wrong, but happens

1:10:51

from time to time. By the way, big man,

1:10:54

while we have an opportunity, just

1:10:57

shout out to Hankkaron major

1:11:00

shout passed away

1:11:02

yesterday, and like

1:11:06

the way I look at it is, you

1:11:08

know, we're in the sports radio business and

1:11:10

every now and then there will be some trolls

1:11:12

who say some nasty stuff, right

1:11:15

like I got divorced and

1:11:18

that was obviously very very painful,

1:11:20

and some Twitter troll just took like this

1:11:23

swipe at me and said some stuff. I'm

1:11:25

like, wow, that is just messed up. That's

1:11:28

nothing, not even remotely

1:11:31

close to what Hank Aaron had to deal

1:11:33

with with passing Babe Ruth

1:11:36

and so many people out of their

1:11:39

minds, with the racism

1:11:41

and just everything

1:11:43

they put Hank Aaron through. To go through

1:11:46

that the way he did with

1:11:48

Grace, I don't know how

1:11:50

you do it, but he did. And

1:11:53

so to be able to handle it the way he did.

1:11:55

Unbelievable when

1:11:59

you look at situations like that, and

1:12:04

you can apply that to

1:12:06

the first black anything

1:12:09

in this country. Right,

1:12:13

even today, you

1:12:15

still that there's a sentiments,

1:12:18

those sentiments and with social media

1:12:22

those right like when

1:12:26

when when Hank was going through that, they

1:12:29

would sending letters, they would write letters, right,

1:12:31

and he kept all these letters of these hateful,

1:12:33

distant the worst

1:12:35

things you can possibly say to a person. He kept

1:12:38

all these letters. Who wanted to be a constant reminder,

1:12:41

right of the struggle, in the fight that he was enduring.

1:12:44

It's instant now today,

1:12:49

right today, it's instant, and

1:12:51

it's still happening. By

1:12:54

the it's it's millions

1:12:56

now, right, Just

1:12:58

think about that. How

1:13:00

long ago was that? Right?

1:13:04

Seems like a long time, but it really wasn't

1:13:06

that long ago. And

1:13:11

he said, what we've come so far, but

1:13:14

the amount of hate. Think

1:13:16

about Kamala Harris, the first African

1:13:19

American, our Asian African

1:13:21

American vice president. Imagine

1:13:24

what her Twitter looks like, her

1:13:26

mentions, remember when Barack

1:13:29

was the first president African American president,

1:13:32

Like, it was just all out assault.

1:13:34

So whenever you have the distinction,

1:13:39

especially in this country to be the first black

1:13:41

whatever follows. So

1:13:44

much hatred comes as

1:13:46

if we're taking something away

1:13:48

from someone else, right,

1:13:52

Yeah, and it's just a shame. Man. It goes

1:13:54

without being said. It's like well what why

1:13:57

though? Like why? Well?

1:13:59

That's my thing is Listen,

1:14:01

if someone I'm a believer

1:14:04

in this, what my heart breaks for

1:14:06

is someone who didn't do something

1:14:08

wrong who's treated as if they did. Like,

1:14:11

that's what bothers me. If listen,

1:14:14

if you don't you do something shady,

1:14:16

right, you you steal something, you do a cheat

1:14:18

on your wife, what happens and what you get out?

1:14:21

You get what you get. But if it's just the color

1:14:23

of your skin and you didn't do anything wrong, that

1:14:26

is just beyond brutal.

1:14:28

And the weight that Hank Aaron had

1:14:31

from all of that mistreatment unbelievable,

1:14:35

just the way that he handled it. And I

1:14:37

hate that he went through it. I hate that there's

1:14:39

steadily still are a lot of people that go through

1:14:41

that in many different walks of life. But

1:14:45

yeah, it's a It's a disease, man. That type

1:14:47

of anger and hatred is a disease,

1:14:50

right, because it infects you and if you feel

1:14:53

that you have to voice

1:14:55

your opinion about something to someone you

1:14:57

don't know, right, right, has

1:15:00

no effect or bearing on your life whatsoever.

1:15:03

If you feel the needed you must. Like

1:15:05

the guy who reached out to you about your your

1:15:07

divorce, like you don't know him,

1:15:09

he doesn't know you, but he felt he needed

1:15:12

to tell you how much of a

1:15:14

d bag you were, right, right,

1:15:17

and so that

1:15:20

was for whatever reason. But just think about just

1:15:22

waking up black and just having

1:15:24

to deal with it for for for no reason, just

1:15:27

like, hey, I'm gonna have Serial Medley and

1:15:29

let me check my Twitter timeline and what

1:15:31

it's like, wait a minute,

1:15:34

whatever, I don't even know. You know, people, It's

1:15:36

so funny because when

1:15:38

I do seeing and stuff and I'm talking politics

1:15:41

and things like that, and even sometimes on this show, people

1:15:43

really lash out at me and they

1:15:45

try to spark a response. But my

1:15:47

whole method, my approaches. Why

1:15:51

so if they call me a BP people, I'm

1:15:53

like, well, why would you say that to me?

1:15:56

And that's what I hate. It's like, uh, you're

1:15:58

you're the call you the big man, right,

1:16:00

but you are. You're you're the bigger man for doing and

1:16:03

you had that mentality as a player. They'd say

1:16:05

crazy stuff to you, and you still have that mentality

1:16:10

because you know what. Yeah,

1:16:14

And and I won't allow

1:16:16

them to steal the joy and accomplishments

1:16:18

that I have accomplished in Yes. But

1:16:22

Charles Barkley once said this, I'll say this real fast.

1:16:24

He's like, if they say crazy things like

1:16:26

fans at normal times, they say crazy things

1:16:29

to players. He was like, you should be able

1:16:31

to go in the stands and beat the hells.

1:16:33

And I agree with that you should, but you can't.

1:16:35

The problem is if you do

1:16:37

that, like now, you

1:16:40

are the main focus. It's just

1:16:42

like being a football player and someone starts

1:16:44

something, you retaliate and you draw the penalty

1:16:46

flag. You know. I hate that someone could say

1:16:49

something crazy, racist,

1:16:51

and if you respond, there's more

1:16:53

focus on you. I hate that. But

1:16:56

just one of the many things that are crazy right now. Alright,

1:16:59

coming up next, the Big Man and I we

1:17:01

have been known to differ on topics

1:17:03

from time to time. We will be a united

1:17:05

front, guaranteed on this that

1:17:08

next subject. We might even

1:17:10

duke it out with a member of the

1:17:12

the team. Here. I'm Brian No, He's from

1:17:15

salam This is Fox Sports Radio. I'm

1:17:17

Brian No. He's e from Salam.

1:17:20

We're broadcasting live from the Farmers Insurance

1:17:22

Fox Sports Radio Studios. Call

1:17:25

Farmers to switch and you could save

1:17:27

a bundle on your auto insurance.

1:17:31

Of course, we've got the a f C title game tomorrow,

1:17:34

Chiefs host hosting the Bills. And

1:17:38

if we are to fix the NFL, right,

1:17:40

if the rule book were changed, we might

1:17:42

not even have the Chiefs tomorrow because

1:17:46

there was a fumble through the end zone by Brown's

1:17:48

receiver Rochard Higgins. And

1:17:50

look, you gotta know the rules and you gotta know the

1:17:53

penalties as ridiculous

1:17:55

as they are. So that's on Richard Higgins,

1:17:57

no doubt. But going forward,

1:18:00

big man, the punishment has

1:18:02

never ever ever

1:18:05

approached fitting the crime of

1:18:07

fumbling the ball through the end zone or the

1:18:09

other team not recovering

1:18:12

the fumble gets possession,

1:18:14

and all by the way, they get field position on

1:18:16

top of it. They're like, yeah, just start at your

1:18:18

own twenty yard line. We don't want you backed up at

1:18:20

your own goal. Like, let's get you some field position

1:18:23

too. When you didn't even recover the

1:18:25

ball. It's insane. It

1:18:27

needs to change immediately. I feel

1:18:29

you on that. I agree with that,

1:18:32

and I

1:18:35

you know the thing about that game, uh

1:18:37

talking Browns and

1:18:39

and Kansas

1:18:41

City. They

1:18:44

had an opportunity. It was

1:18:46

there. It was there,

1:18:49

So I don't want to hear

1:18:51

about Yeah, that rule

1:18:53

was messed up. Shouldn't want

1:18:56

the other way, but it didn't.

1:18:59

So I don't want to here because

1:19:01

you had the ball down

1:19:03

by five with

1:19:06

an opportunity to win

1:19:08

the game. Yes, right,

1:19:10

make a stop on defense the

1:19:12

ball back, but it doesn't even make a stop. They

1:19:14

had the ball, Remember they got

1:19:16

backed up a couple of minus

1:19:19

plays, and then so now

1:19:21

they were in a position to where

1:19:23

it was fourth

1:19:25

in and like nine or

1:19:28

so. Right now you're

1:19:30

in a situation where it's roughly

1:19:32

five six minutes left in the game. You

1:19:35

gotta right try to get

1:19:38

the ball back. But Baker Mayfield, that offense

1:19:40

had the ball with six minutes

1:19:42

to go in the game and an opportunity

1:19:44

to go down and win with no

1:19:48

uh Patrick Mahomes coming back in the game,

1:19:50

and they blew it. Hey, man, I hear

1:19:52

you on that. And there's the difference where this

1:19:55

isn't like a boo hoo fest

1:19:57

about the Browns not being alive. It's

1:20:00

really about looking at that rule

1:20:03

in a big playoff game and saying

1:20:05

going forward, this

1:20:08

needs to do

1:20:10

something about Yes, it makes

1:20:13

no sense at all.

1:20:15

If you fumble at the five yard line out of bounds,

1:20:17

guess what you get the ball at the five? Why

1:20:20

if is it that it's just a few yards

1:20:23

further down. I'd even take that. You get

1:20:25

the ball back at the line of scrimmage, I'd

1:20:28

be fine with that, right, put it back at the right

1:20:31

I take that. I'll take that

1:20:33

over. And you can't go for a field goal. You have

1:20:35

to go for the touchdown like

1:20:37

listen will. Now you're just changing the

1:20:39

game completely. Now, you guys are changing the

1:20:41

game. This long overdue.

1:20:44

It's a long overdue lee, Robert de Lapto. Fourth.

1:20:46

Now you got your little carnival rules

1:20:48

here, like you gotta go for a touchdown? And what

1:20:51

else do you have? What else do you want to have? An argument is that you

1:20:53

want more highlights. Why don't you put a trampoline at

1:20:55

the in between the five line?

1:20:58

My argument is the pun shiment doesn't

1:21:00

fit the crime. And also, if you're the

1:21:02

NFL, why would you have a rule

1:21:05

that discourages highlight

1:21:07

real plays? Why would you have the penalty

1:21:09

be so severe where It's like, don't

1:21:11

extend that ball. Don't end up on Sports

1:21:13

Center with this jawn dropping player, because

1:21:15

we'll smack you over the head if you

1:21:18

fumble through the end zone. It's bad, bad

1:21:20

business for the NFL. Alright,

1:21:22

comeing up next. We know players

1:21:24

say nice things about their teammates, but this

1:21:26

is crazy, you know,

1:21:28

big man. This would be a bit of a dream

1:21:31

come true because our guy

1:21:34

Lee Robert to Lap the fourth, a trusted

1:21:36

producer. He rides

1:21:38

hard for this stupid

1:21:40

rule. When you fumble out of your opponent's

1:21:43

end zone, the opponent automatically

1:21:45

gets the ball. He loves it. If

1:21:47

he could kiss that rule, he would. It

1:21:50

would be so sweet. If

1:21:53

his beloved Packers they've got a chance

1:21:55

to win the game tomorrow and there's

1:21:57

a fumble out of the end zone and there done.

1:22:00

I would love to hear what he thinks about the

1:22:02

rule of that. Worthy case, I'd still ride with, Brian,

1:22:05

I'd live with change your whole life.

1:22:08

It would be a j Dillon of course, the rookie doing

1:22:10

it. No Davante Adams making

1:22:12

that mistake. We're smart football team, Brian. We know

1:22:14

the rules good.

1:22:16

By the way. The oldest football team you know it's

1:22:18

been there the whole time. We know what's up. What

1:22:21

do you think the chances are from

1:22:23

If that's the scenario, Lee's

1:22:25

packers lose because of that stupid

1:22:28

rule that he's been defending. Do

1:22:30

you think you would get a text message saying

1:22:32

I still believe in the rule that

1:22:35

Yeah? I think yeah, because people, what

1:22:38

I've learned on this

1:22:40

earth, years on this earth, even

1:22:43

when people feel a certain way, they

1:22:45

hate to admit that they're wrong, period,

1:22:50

in all aspects of life. So

1:22:53

I can see that with you too. No,

1:22:56

I mean, I'll tell you this. I've been

1:22:58

married for fourteen years, so I'm

1:23:00

pretty pretty regularly faced

1:23:02

with being wrong. So just

1:23:05

throw that out that card

1:23:07

in your deck, is what you're telling us. So the

1:23:10

you know right, I was wrong? Right,

1:23:13

Like I've said that more

1:23:15

in the last seventeen years than ever

1:23:18

before. Just f y, I just throw

1:23:20

that out there, even

1:23:23

even even when I don't feel I'm

1:23:25

wrong. Yeah I'm wrong. Yeah.

1:23:27

Well I didn't say it like that, but that's how I heard it.

1:23:29

Okay, Well, I guess that's what I meant. Then I

1:23:33

guess I was wrong. I guess I was I was wrong.

1:23:35

Yeah, I apologize. So what would

1:23:37

you like to eat? Right? Like? They just moves life

1:23:40

on. Yeah,

1:23:42

how about this. I don't anticipate this

1:23:45

player admitting he was wrong,

1:23:47

but he's absolutely wrong. This is

1:23:49

Packers wide receiver Davante Adams.

1:23:52

Now he's waxing poetic about his

1:23:54

quarterback Aaron Rodgers, which we get.

1:23:57

He takes it too far though.

1:23:59

Check this out. It's basically

1:24:01

turned into a quarterback statum

1:24:03

to bow. So you know, if that's what it's gonna be,

1:24:05

then obviously we're gonna put as much as we can in ourselves.

1:24:08

We'll try to help him get there and uh ultimately

1:24:10

relieve him of the you know, the Super

1:24:13

Bowls being a thing that hinder h from being because,

1:24:15

in my mind needs to go regardless of many super

1:24:17

Bowls are one, but just

1:24:19

for that, for the worlds the shop. I guess

1:24:21

we can go out there and get word for him. Okay,

1:24:26

I get that right for you, guys, you're

1:24:28

right for you writing for this guy, the guy who

1:24:30

changed his life dramatically. Fine,

1:24:33

get it? Yeah, but do you

1:24:35

realize if you put that to the side, how

1:24:39

Tom Brady is light

1:24:42

years beyond Aaron Rodgers

1:24:44

in the goat conversation not

1:24:47

even remotely close.

1:24:50

Aaron Rodgers isn't in the vicinity

1:24:52

of sniffing Tom Brady's jock in

1:24:55

the goat breakdown Six

1:24:57

rings, one ring, okay,

1:25:00

and this idea of like, hey, we just need to win one

1:25:02

so we shut up all these naysayers,

1:25:04

and it's like, you gotta have more that

1:25:06

you bring to the table if you're expecting to

1:25:08

win the goat conversation. That's just the

1:25:11

way it is. Yeah,

1:25:13

just one isn't going to change that

1:25:15

conversation at all. You

1:25:19

gotta win this year, next

1:25:21

year, take a

1:25:23

break when the next year, and

1:25:26

then people gonna be that you know that Aaron Rodgers is catching

1:25:28

up now right

1:25:32

right, like being the greatest

1:25:34

thrower of the football. Ever, according

1:25:37

to some that's not gonna put you in the

1:25:39

gold conversation. Yeah,

1:25:41

hey, look at Drew Brees. I

1:25:43

would take Peyton Manning over

1:25:46

any day over

1:25:49

and Rodgers any day. I just would. He's

1:25:53

in that similar territory where

1:25:55

he has been unbelievable. Aaron

1:25:58

Rodgers has been phenomenal in the regged or

1:26:00

season, but you look at the post season.

1:26:02

The dude is one in three in NFC championship

1:26:04

games. That has to change. It

1:26:07

has to or he's gonna be more defined

1:26:09

by the letdowns and

1:26:11

the setbacks in the post season than the winds. That's

1:26:13

just how it goes, man, when

1:26:16

you're in the same Like, here's the thing. If

1:26:18

it's a beauty pageant, one

1:26:21

contestant might be really pretty. If she's going

1:26:23

up against the

1:26:25

gold standard of pretty, it's like wow,

1:26:28

man, like you're not as pretty

1:26:30

anymore. Like that's the way it works with Aaron

1:26:32

Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers, if he's a

1:26:34

modeling, he's really good looking. But

1:26:37

when you're compared to Tom Brady,

1:26:39

no, man, come on one in three in conference

1:26:42

championship games compared to Brady being nine

1:26:44

in four, six rings compared to one

1:26:47

ring. Aaron Rodgers isn't

1:26:49

even remotely close to Tom Brady in

1:26:51

that discussion. The only

1:26:53

guy that is is Joe Montana. That's

1:26:55

it. That's the only one who's

1:26:57

close. And as mahomes

1:26:59

build his resume. But as

1:27:01

of right now, no, no, it's a it's

1:27:04

no contest. Right now, now

1:27:06

we get this thing.

1:27:09

What do you think? Lee? All right, let's see what

1:27:11

Lee thinks because I mean we're talking about

1:27:13

his team, right, so let's let's get let's

1:27:15

see what he thinks. Well, it would

1:27:17

take more than this year. But if he did beat Brady

1:27:19

and Patrick Mahomes and this year, that would be

1:27:21

big. And then another year with Matt

1:27:24

Lafloor. Get a repeat in there, then

1:27:27

we start inching closer. Now now

1:27:29

we're talking, and then

1:27:31

get another one down the line. And now now

1:27:34

it's tote toe. We're

1:27:36

looking at a minimum of three rings from

1:27:39

here on out to get him in the correct get

1:27:41

him in the door of the club correct. I

1:27:44

would agree with that. I don't think that's crazy. Packers

1:27:46

logic makes sense

1:27:48

to me. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, look

1:27:51

at that. A logical fan. I

1:27:53

am very logical, except

1:27:56

for that rule exact best

1:28:00

sports worst easy.

1:28:02

How about this Aaron Rodgers with

1:28:05

Matthew Stafford expected

1:28:07

to not return to Detroit,

1:28:10

so a mutual parting of ways,

1:28:12

big Man, where Matthew Stafford

1:28:14

said to Detroit, Yeah, I kind of like to be

1:28:16

elsewhere in Detroit's like okay,

1:28:19

cool, And they're gonna look to move him. So he's

1:28:21

gonna be moved. We go back in the

1:28:23

hot tub time machine just slightly. Aaron

1:28:25

Rodgers, he was a guest on the Pat McAfee

1:28:28

show. Listen to what he had to say

1:28:30

about Matthew Stafford. This is very interesting,

1:28:32

a guy who probably doesn't get anywhere

1:28:35

near the credit. We're doing

1:28:37

like that all the time. He wears

1:28:39

number nine and plays in Detroit. That

1:28:42

dude, what he does with the ball, it's

1:28:44

impressive, it's really really impressive.

1:28:47

And that dude is throwing crazy nolookers

1:28:49

all the time, like uh,

1:28:51

and he gets thrown from any arm angle. I

1:28:55

think that carries a lot of weight. Right. That

1:28:57

isn't a teammate like Davonte Adams.

1:28:59

So I still think that Aaron Rodgers

1:29:02

is the goat, even though he has no

1:29:04

we're near the credentials of Tom Brady.

1:29:06

Like, that's Aaron Rodgers talking about

1:29:09

another quarterback in the same division

1:29:12

in Matthew Stafford. Yes,

1:29:15

same era and Rogers gonna win his third

1:29:17

m v P. He knows quarterbacks,

1:29:19

obviously for him to wax poetic

1:29:21

about Stafford like that, that carries a

1:29:23

lot of weight. Man, do look,

1:29:26

matt he's

1:29:28

telling the truth. Though this isn't right.

1:29:32

No one's making that up. I don't know if anyone's

1:29:34

questioning Matthews

1:29:37

abilities because he's he's got

1:29:39

it. You

1:29:41

know he's got it. Some

1:29:44

do, man, Some are like, hey, show me the playoff

1:29:46

wins. He doesn't have one single playoff

1:29:49

win, and I think that has a lot more

1:29:51

to do with the roster than it does Matthew Stafford.

1:29:53

I'm not saying he's blameless, but

1:29:56

if you're pointing fingers, you gotta point

1:29:59

him elsewhere for first, then at Stafford.

1:30:01

But you know the drill man, we're always

1:30:03

look at the quarterbacks first, even though it's

1:30:06

unreasonable a lot of times. Yeah,

1:30:09

look, everything lives and dies with the quarterback.

1:30:11

We know that. That's why the Deshaun Watson

1:30:14

conversation is so intriguing, Like what would you

1:30:16

do to get that caliber of of quarterback?

1:30:20

Like, what would you do? What wouldn't you

1:30:22

do? You're just like, yeah, I'll

1:30:25

trade my draft. I'll trade the next five drafts

1:30:27

for Deshaun Watson. Practically, of

1:30:30

course, what you

1:30:33

can't trade five drafts? Not

1:30:38

five drafts. You don't need five drafts.

1:30:42

You can give up three first round draft picks for

1:30:45

a sure fire hit, couldn't you. I'm

1:30:48

just asking what is the price where you

1:30:50

say, now, that's just ridiculous, that's

1:30:52

way too much. Um

1:31:00

Man, all

1:31:03

of the draft picks from here and until

1:31:08

I don't know, you are drunk,

1:31:10

and DeShawn Watson over here.

1:31:12

My goodness, look

1:31:15

at the situation he was just in right,

1:31:17

Like Jared pointed this out on Twitter. I'll give him

1:31:19

credit. He wrote in talking

1:31:21

about you, he just made your point. No,

1:31:24

Houston had to had

1:31:26

no help for Watson. Now

1:31:29

he wants to trade away any help they can

1:31:31

get in New York and bring Watson in

1:31:33

for more sub five hundred seasons.

1:31:37

Like yeah, like, look at the situation he just

1:31:39

left in Houston. They

1:31:41

have a lot of problems with that roster. And

1:31:44

if you're trading a boatload

1:31:47

of picks with let's just say the New York Jets,

1:31:50

well that's all all of that stuff you can't

1:31:52

use to build around Deshaun Watson.

1:31:55

And he's in a very similar position. Uh

1:32:00

Man. What what I'm telling you

1:32:02

is that Jets haven't had a quarterback since

1:32:05

the fur code. Mm hmm. One

1:32:09

wants to actually come there who

1:32:11

we know can play, we know

1:32:13

he can get down. You

1:32:16

won't want to take him.

1:32:20

Explain to me how in a quarterbacks

1:32:22

league? How

1:32:25

is that even a thing? Where

1:32:28

is the conversation that's what I'm trying to figure out.

1:32:30

Well, it just depends on what the price tag

1:32:32

is. And by the way, he's

1:32:36

what

1:32:40

kidding me? Uh,

1:32:43

we're not talking about a thirty two year old year

1:32:47

old. Okay, let's take it like this. If

1:32:50

um, I don't know, you make a Let's

1:32:52

say you make eight dollars a year, right,

1:32:54

and you're looking for a car. If you're

1:32:56

like, you know, I could go for a Nissan Ultima,

1:32:59

good car, not gonna rank me. If that Nissan

1:33:01

Ultima costs a hundred

1:33:03

and fifty thousand dollars and you're

1:33:06

like, whoa, that's just too much, you could

1:33:08

be like, I like the car, I like it a lot, it's just

1:33:10

too expensive, right, Like,

1:33:12

that's the thing. Depending on what the price

1:33:14

that Ultima.

1:33:17

No, he's better than that. He would be a high end sports

1:33:19

car. That's that wasn't the exact comparison. Okay,

1:33:21

So you can't use a comparison. It doesn't

1:33:23

stack up. Okay, Well, let's just okay, let's put

1:33:25

him as a Porsche. Okay, it's a high

1:33:28

end sports car. Right. If that high

1:33:30

end sports car is going for a million

1:33:32

dollars, you're like, you're drunk. That is

1:33:34

too much. That's

1:33:37

too much cash for a high end sports

1:33:39

car. Yes, if is it

1:33:41

a two of two one of one? Like, what are we talking

1:33:43

about here?

1:33:46

You have to I've been there backports

1:33:49

car because I've had one of four,

1:33:51

so I know what that price tag is. Okay,

1:33:53

put okay, give me the price tag of a

1:33:55

one of four car. Just

1:33:59

tell me fall

1:34:01

part Okay,

1:34:05

Now what class are we talking You're

1:34:07

making this too complicated because

1:34:10

so you obviously on a car guy, it's

1:34:14

not that important because there's

1:34:17

a four or four that costs three million

1:34:19

dollars. Okay, let's take that. Let's

1:34:21

take that three million dollars. So instead

1:34:23

of it being three million, all of a sudden, it's

1:34:26

five point five million. And it's

1:34:28

just like, whoa, that's that's

1:34:30

ridiculous. That's too high of a price

1:34:32

for that car. That it depends on

1:34:35

who's buying it. Because I'm

1:34:37

watching I'm watching Fight Island and one

1:34:39

of those guys over there and Fight Island, who

1:34:41

built that arena? That's nothing.

1:34:44

That's a drop in the bucket. Okay, we're talking

1:34:46

about right, but it isn't

1:34:48

a drop in the bucket. We all know how important

1:34:50

draft picks are, especially first round picks

1:34:53

like the Jets when they're trying to restock

1:34:56

the show, more likely to miss on

1:34:58

a quarterback in any

1:35:00

other position. Okay, fine, but you can't

1:35:02

argue that first round picks are not valuable.

1:35:07

You're more they're more first

1:35:09

round quarterback bust than any other position.

1:35:13

Okay. So with that knowledge

1:35:18

and the knowledge of a proven commodity,

1:35:21

where is the cut? Where what is it?

1:35:23

What is the the argument? That's all I'm

1:35:25

saying. I'm just asking when

1:35:28

the price gets so high, you

1:35:31

say, that's just like it

1:35:34

doesn't seem like that exists in your Like

1:35:36

if they came out and said, look, we want five first round

1:35:38

draft picks, we want this one this year, we

1:35:40

want for the next four years,

1:35:43

we want all you know, first

1:35:45

round draft picks plus you

1:35:48

know whatever whatever, right right,

1:35:51

plus the Sam Donald.

1:35:54

Okay, then you're like, I

1:35:58

don't know. But if you're like, hey, look we'll give

1:36:00

you We'll give you our first this year, the second

1:36:02

pick in the draft, we'll give you Sam Donald,

1:36:04

and we'll give you our our what

1:36:08

uh yes,

1:36:10

take it gone by?

1:36:12

Right? Hey, listen, this is

1:36:14

what we're asking you, and you

1:36:16

answered it. You're like five first rounders too

1:36:18

much, that's all I'm going for, because it didn't

1:36:21

sound like there was an offer, or

1:36:23

you'd be like, no, that's just too rich. I can't

1:36:25

do it for that alright.

1:36:29

Look, man, Bill

1:36:33

O'Brien was lighting traft picks and fire.

1:36:35

I haven't seen anything before you get from

1:36:38

Salam the GM goodness. I'm

1:36:40

thinking about the longevity of the

1:36:42

team and do

1:36:45

you want to go into the war

1:36:47

room in the off season asking yourself

1:36:50

the same question that

1:36:53

you've been asking for thirty years,

1:36:56

what are we going to do about the quarterback position?

1:36:59

We're not don

1:37:01

but obvious, even

1:37:04

though we've raised our voices that we're

1:37:06

not as far apart as it sounds.

1:37:12

I don't want to ask that question. You

1:37:14

have to have your franchise quarterback. I'm

1:37:17

just saying you've got to get

1:37:19

that guy for as reasonable of a

1:37:21

price as possible. That's all. That's

1:37:23

all I'm saying. That's it. I

1:37:26

know it's incredibly talented and

1:37:28

you would want to try to get him, even

1:37:30

if the price tag is very high, which it would be.

1:37:33

But there is such a thing as too high

1:37:35

of a price tag, because you're

1:37:37

just gonna be Texans East and

1:37:40

you're just putting all those first

1:37:42

rounders on the table. You know, all

1:37:45

right, Coming up next, two

1:37:47

players that are in a good spot

1:37:50

thanks to desperation. When

1:37:53

it reminds you we are broadcasting live from

1:37:55

the Farmer's Insurance Fox Sports Radio Studios.

1:37:57

Call one eight Farmers to switch and

1:38:00

1:38:02

seventy dollars on auto insurance.

1:38:05

That's a lot of money for a quick phone call,

1:38:08

don't you think average nationwide

1:38:10

annual savings survey data

1:38:13

July to December. We

1:38:16

are all

1:38:19

right, coming up next, desperation

1:38:22

helping out. Two players will explain. I'm

1:38:24

Brian Noisy from Salam. This is Fox Sports

1:38:26

Radio. I'm Brian

1:38:29

no He's from Salam.

1:38:31

We're broadcasting live from the Farmers Insurance

1:38:33

Fox Sports Radio Studios. Call one

1:38:35

eight Farmers and you can save a whole lot

1:38:38

of something on auto insurance. I'll tell

1:38:40

you what big Man Brooklyn nets about the closest

1:38:42

thing on out against Miami. Yeah,

1:38:45

they're up by six in the final minute. I was

1:38:47

just on a group chat with my with my guys,

1:38:50

uh big big,

1:38:52

big NBA fans and UM,

1:38:55

I was just saying, like, if Brooklyn has to work

1:38:57

this hard every game to win there

1:39:00

in Trouble. Yeah, they gave

1:39:02

up a ton of points in the pain against the Calves.

1:39:05

Against the Calves, remember when Kyrie

1:39:07

Irvin and Kevin Durant said

1:39:10

that they're all the coach.

1:39:13

Oh yeah right, that's Steve

1:39:15

Nash. I could coach

1:39:17

one night, maybe Katie the next night. You

1:39:20

know. But the thing is they were serious.

1:39:23

They were dead serious and it shows

1:39:27

right. So if you don't

1:39:29

respect your head coach and

1:39:32

you think, as

1:39:34

a professional athlete you're

1:39:37

going to coach too, how

1:39:39

would you ever listen to that coach? Well,

1:39:42

and that's the other thing is how

1:39:45

are you going to buy in if Steve

1:39:47

Nash is just imploring them,

1:39:49

we need defense, we gotta

1:39:51

play some defense. If you've got

1:39:54

this mentality of you know, I could be the head

1:39:56

coach, are you really listening to what Steve

1:39:58

Nash is? Hell no, you're

1:40:00

not. So when they said that I was a day

1:40:02

in trouble. I

1:40:04

mean it's defensively, no problems offensively,

1:40:07

but man, defensive they can't stop anybody,

1:40:09

you know what They're like. They're like an

1:40:12

NFL defense that has no

1:40:15

front seven. Just because

1:40:17

they're allowing points in the paint at an alarming

1:40:20

rate. Like they just don't they can't stop

1:40:22

the run. You can run on them all day,

1:40:24

like get these high percentage runs

1:40:26

or high percentage points. That's what they are. They're

1:40:29

like an NFL team that has no front seven. Yeah,

1:40:33

it's uh, you know what, man, they

1:40:37

like I said, they have a lot of work

1:40:39

to do. Man, they're interesting

1:40:41

though they are. It's trying to watch a

1:40:43

lot of offense, a lot offense and

1:40:47

with no real direction,

1:40:49

no real coaching.

1:40:56

When when when you get down to the playoffs, you're

1:40:58

not gonna just be able to go out there and I'll

1:41:00

scoring everybody because this game's gonna shrink, I

1:41:02

know it. That's this is sort of

1:41:04

like Steve Nash is basically

1:41:07

a younger Dan Tony.

1:41:09

Well duh

1:41:11

right right. Didn't the Suns with

1:41:13

those type of teams that they had that Steve

1:41:16

Steve Nash lead, Why didn't

1:41:18

they dominating

1:41:21

the playoffs? Yeah? A lot of it traces

1:41:23

back to a lack of DA didn't play any

1:41:26

defense. Yeah, so yeah,

1:41:29

all the picking roles, scoring, anybody can score

1:41:31

k D, everybody can come down to shoot. All

1:41:35

it takes is one off game.

1:41:38

Yeah, we've seen the Houston Rockets do

1:41:40

it for the last five years. Yeah, it was

1:41:42

the seven seven seconds or less philosophy.

1:41:45

We've seen it like the last

1:41:47

five years. If you can't

1:41:50

stop someone when you need to stop, what's

1:41:52

the point because you might be on fire

1:41:54

shooting every night, right, I

1:41:57

hold my breath every time. Like Kevin Durant,

1:41:59

Yeah, he just dolp, barely

1:42:01

rolled his ankle. It's hard to see

1:42:03

live and he's limping around just a little

1:42:06

bit. I'm like, oh no, oh no, he

1:42:08

is at the top of the list. He's at the top

1:42:10

of my oh no list. If he

1:42:12

just starts walking some minor

1:42:14

injury off, I'm like, what happened?

1:42:17

Is he Okay, he's all right. He's

1:42:19

totally fine. By the way, shout out

1:42:21

Steph Curry tying Reggie Miller's

1:42:23

second most three pointers in the history of the

1:42:25

n b A. You think about

1:42:27

that, Ante, okay,

1:42:30

Miami, okay,

1:42:32

you must be like, I'm behind, Are

1:42:35

you ahead? Are you behind? I don't know. K D

1:42:38

is missing the second of two free throws,

1:42:42

so it's right

1:42:44

now. Oh yeah, you're you're way behind. Oh

1:42:48

no, I'm behind. Yeah, Okay,

1:42:50

Robinson just nailed the three. Okay,

1:42:52

I'm way behind and I should have been and one

1:42:58

been one right there by the way. While

1:43:00

we're watching this NETS game unfold, think

1:43:03

about that with Steph. How many more years

1:43:05

does Steph Curry have left in the n b

1:43:07

A. He seems to have

1:43:10

a handful of him, right, he's

1:43:12

not slowing down. And he just tied

1:43:15

Reggie Miller for the second most NBA

1:43:18

three's ever and

1:43:20

next up is Ray Allen And

1:43:22

that's just insane. With however much

1:43:25

time Steff has left, and it seems to be

1:43:27

multiple years that he's still playing

1:43:29

at an elite level. Yeah, he's still an elite

1:43:31

player, right, So

1:43:34

to have that much time still left and

1:43:36

now tying the great Reggie

1:43:38

Miller, obviously one of the greatest shooters

1:43:41

ever and he just tied him, that's

1:43:43

insane to me. And I know the game has

1:43:45

changed, we get all of that, but still

1:43:48

just a filthy shooter. We all know

1:43:50

that about Steph. Oh he

1:43:53

almost hit dead, he got fouled. Oh my

1:43:55

god, three good

1:43:57

look at you. Look how the tables have turned.

1:44:00

We were watching the NFL

1:44:02

playoffs last week and the Ravens

1:44:04

Bills game. My feed was slightly

1:44:06

ahead of yours and all you did. You

1:44:08

gave me a bunch of guff. You gave me

1:44:10

guff, big man about don't ruin it,

1:44:13

don't What are you doing? Why are you telling me?

1:44:16

And look at what's happened one week? Why would

1:44:18

you do that, Kyrie? Why

1:44:21

would you do that? Who cares? If

1:44:23

he made it? He

1:44:26

stopped the clock and sent him to the free throw line

1:44:29

for three free throws.

1:44:31

So goofy, he's so goofy. I needed a

1:44:33

break? What are you man? Kyrie

1:44:38

is he's he's frustrating. Yeah,

1:44:40

he will be traded by

1:44:43

the trade deadline. Kyrie just lives

1:44:45

in his own world. I don't think Kyrie

1:44:47

is a stupid guy. I think he just lives in his own You know

1:44:49

who else lives in our world? And who's not

1:44:51

stupid? I've got a gas,

1:44:54

our very own Stephen

1:44:58

Hyphen the Sager lewis

1:45:04

whatever. By the way, Steph Curry

1:45:06

is now alone at number two in all times

1:45:08

three pointers in the regular

1:45:10

season. It's probably like seven ahead of him by now,

1:45:12

Steve, you gotta updated. Yeah, it's a it's a late

1:45:15

feed you got there now, it's he's one

1:45:17

ahead of Reggie Miller. In fact, the three point

1:45:19

rule didn't come in until that. Ray
