we will be catching up here with our guy, the
Old P. Petros Papadek is coming up here just a
couple of moments from now. You hear Petros on in
LA weekdays with Matt Muddy Smith, who's the voice of
(01:01):
the l A Chargers on radio, and so I'm sure
Petros will have some thoughts. Maybe, uh, maybe the Old
P will be sent out to Brazil uh for uh
to cover the l A Chargers.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
That'd be fun.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, there could be, uh could be some conversation we
had there with Petros. So as soon as we've got
Petros lined up and ready to go, uh, we will
uh we will keep you posted here, you know, not
imagining we're going to have any p Prisco issues from yesterday.
But it does look like confused looks there behind the scenes.
Your thoughts on the confusion behind the scenes, Brady, what
(01:32):
would you uh, what would you say about that? A
lot of.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
It does seem like whenever Lee's involved. Not to throw
Lee under the bus, but for those of you that
have listened to our show early in the morning, there
tends to be a lot of fuzzy things that are
going on and stuff just doesn't work. And Lee maybe
forgot to call one of the guests to say, hey,
we changed our hours. We're actually going to be calling
(02:05):
you a little later in the day. Is that okay?
Sometimes those uh, those little details fall through the through
the cracks running for Kurrs. Here he comes, here comes Yep,
there he is running from Captain Take two days in
a row.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
It's very, very very troubling, all right, So without further Ado,
let's turn it over to the man himself. Petros Papade
because he is the co host of the Petros and
Money Show, which you can hear on the Blowtorch AM
five seveny l A sports a Fox college football analyst
and get him on AX at the old p P
good morning slash afternoon depending on where you're listening in
(02:43):
the country. But we appreciate you coming on with us here.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
No problem. Hello, Hello, This is not my first time
on this show. Nice, but usually it's the filings that
asked me to come on.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Oh okay, so I see shooting. What shots? Huh huh.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
I've been on there with count four oh five, but
not not in a while.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Okay, cat bang bang?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Is that a shot at you Jonas? Yeah, of course
it is. No, No, it's not. I'm count one on one.
He's off the one one.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Petros. When is the last time you saw Jonas in person?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Not long? A couple of months ago. Yeah. He has
an interesting look. Was it was? He also looks pale
as hell like he never goes out in the sun.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Well, I mean, the guy does the radio show at
two in the morning in in the West Coast, and
and then he sometimes you know, does one in the afternoon.
What I'm saying, is he's indoors a lot.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah, I don't think is gonna help at night. It's
an editor guy probably go outside. A guy that sits
in an edit bay all day, it just grows old.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Night. It is true because of these suns.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
All right, I'm here for you guys. I know we've
caught up since the Super Bowl, but I wanted to
make sure you understood. There's many a morning's where I
looked out in that crowd and I thought, that's Kansas
City's version of Petros. Hey, Yeah, here's Philadelphia's version of Petros.
Yeah it's tough. Hey, that's Saint Louis's version of Petros.
(04:23):
I mean you kind of kept going down the line.
I completely understood your stance on that. Where is the
next Super Bowl, Santa Clara? Yeah, I mean that is
an amazing drop off, right. I mean I'm not for
parties or people or really a good time at all.
I'm very hateful, which is why probably haven't been on
in a while. But that being said, Uh, New Orleans
(04:47):
is a great town, and New Orleans is a fun resort,
kind of not resort, but convention. It kind of absorbs
that kind of stuff. Very well, and the super Bowl's
great there because you're having a good time. But at
the same time, you don't feel like the cheeseball idiot
that you really are because you're partying at the super
Bowl that does not exist in Santa Clara. In fact,
(05:07):
almost nothing exists in Santa Clara, and you're nowhere close
to anywhere you want to be. San Jose has nothing
to offer you. San Francisco used to be the Bagdad
by the Bay. Now it's a big pile of poop
and needles. But that being said, I mean, it's still
a kind of a fun city to kick around in.
But you're you know, you're at least forty five minutes
(05:28):
from there in Santa Clara in a badly built stadium.
I mean, that is kind of an amazing thing in
today's day and age that we have all this technology,
all these architects, all these people in the twenty first century,
and you can still just totally drop the ball building
an NFL football stadium, even though you have billions of
(05:50):
dollars and all that, you just build it the wrong way.
But the sun is like, well, the sun is blaring
down on you. At one o'clock on the home team side,
which was a big Probably have you been in there? Yeah, Brady,
we did a game in there once. Remember we did
the Packed twelve Championship. Yeah. Which, can I make a
(06:11):
case for you? I feel like like you're an unbelievable host.
And I'm not just saying this because you're on with us,
Like I've worked with you, I've witnessed it. You did
do such a good job in the snares. You did
the Big twelve one the one year we were together,
and then you did the Pac twelve one, and both
of them, I was like, I wanted to watch those,
Like usually that's like okay, like let's pack up and go.
(06:32):
I literally stayed just to watch, just to watch you
on those, Like that's how entertaining it was. Yeah. They
don't ask me to do him much anymore.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
They used to like me to do the old Doctor
Pepper halftime thing because they couldn't trust Bruce Feldman with it.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I guess no, I mean, I'm not Bruce, But could
you imagine him do it? That's not a big deal. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Could you imagine he'd sit there and like take a
text from Chip Kelly halfway through and no one would
know who won. Uh, so that's why they would have
me do it, I guess is just to do Doctor Pepper.
But you're right, I enjoyed those. I remember doing one
of those, the one I did at the PAC twelve
when Washington our friend Chris Peterson beat a pretty beat
up Utah team, very boring game, it was like nine
(07:12):
to six, And I remember doing that half doing that
postgame with Larry Scott, who was at that point already
universally despised, and anybody with half a brain saw well
he was taken down the conference.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
But besides the nice gift you used to get at
the Patch twelve dinners days.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Oh come on, still, I still use my earbuds right now.
But but Larry Scott was like, okay, I'll take the
microphone now. I said, no, you won't, you will not.
And I almost had like to battle him with my
fist and the mic where he tried to like kind
of pride out of my hand, like like Pat Hayden
and Steve Sarkisian behind stage that one night, and and
(07:52):
it got a little ugly for a second. But the
one thing you have to know is if you ever
give your mic to anybody, I don't care if it's
Rob grown Kowski who just won the Super Bowl or what.
You can't give your mic to Larry Scott or the
young man you're interviewing, or or the head coach, be
it Chris Peterson or anybody. You've got to keep that mic.
If they want to hold the mic, they've got to
(08:14):
hold the mic outside of your hand. Your hand has
to be the prophylactic because if you give up that mic,
you're never getting hired again. Now, of course I never
gave up the mic, and I'm still not getting hired again.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
So speaking of getting hired or getting fired or moving on.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I want to get higher. Yeah, good, good again, good again.
I know that song too. I know That's why I
did it. Go ahead, your.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Guy, Matthew Stafford, is he to go or not to go?
That is the question. And do you like the I
guess we're hearing Garoppolo possibly or maybe you know, I don't.
What are you thinking in terms of quarter?
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Well? What is that that old schefter said? You know,
not that I'd pay much attention to anything. But schefter
said maybe Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Yeah, if Stafford goes away, well you think about that?
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Well, don't they have a bit of a connection through
Lafleur and all those guys from the commanders. From what
I understand, McVeigh and all those people, they were all
on that Shanahan staff, Ye, through your old team LeVar
and then and then they've kind of scattered around the NFL.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
But most of those.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Guys I imagine kind of like Andy Reid and Brett
Farv and that old uh, that old contingent of coaches
Steve mary Yucci that we used to hear about. Those
guys all seem to really like Aaron Rodgers, you know
the same way all those guys that scattered around from
the Green Bay staff under Mike Holmgren really like Brett Farve.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
So maybe that.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Works in la Aaron can be in a major media market,
and it gives the the the the rams a chance
to stick it to Kelly Stafford because they're tired of
listening to her and podcast. My radio partner brought that
up yesterday on our show, that that maybe they say, oh, Kelly,
you like that, you want to go on there and
say this, say that, Well, here you go. You get
(10:10):
to go to New York City where they suck, and
here comes Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
To take your place. Dang. Yeah, we don't need your
podcast together.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Rogers needs that redemption, right, I mean, because Farv did
the same thing. He left Green Bay. They went, he
went to the jets. He took a picture of his
gray pube pets.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Whoa, Well he didn't.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
What are you talking about? That wasn't him. I mean
it was always like his crocs, but that was definitely
not him.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
All Right, you're right, I'm sorry that's alleged. That was
definitely well, you could just say it didn't end well.
It ended in controversy, and because of that, you know,
he needed a redemption story, which he really did get
in Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I mean he was.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Bawling his old asshole. He did have a nice watch
in Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
I'll show you a watch. Dang.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
So anyway, maybe Aaron Rodgers gets that at SOFI. You know,
that'd be pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Patro's just curious your thoughts. Obviously you mentioned your partner,
Matt money Smith, the voice of the Bolts. They're on
their way to Brazil.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I saw that. Yeah, well it's a plan.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
As you guys know, I'm a bit of an agoraphobe
and really really don't like traveling, getting worse as I
get older. I have to go places, and I do.
But going to Brazil, where I've read a little bit about,
but I know it's pretty wild and chaotic, is not
on my list. Although I do enjoy the music the Tropicalia,
(11:41):
which is like what they listen to inside Brazil, and
the BSA Nova which they set around the world with
the great writer and composer Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luis
Bonfa and many like that.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
So yeah, I'm do so well versed when you have
these moments like like what when you have an agoraphobic moment,
I just get uncomfortable, you know, Okay, and that's it,
like you, but you can handle it.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Though, I guess. I mean, I haven't been to Brazil.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
No one's trying to steal my kidne You know that
Ryan Lockey got in a fight at a gas stage.
Remember the Swimmer. Yeah, no, it looks like a lot
of fun. What we like to do with Matt because
he does travel, you know, he works with the Chargers
and and he travels other than that too, he does
college basketball and stuff. I like to There's a movie
called The Five Obstructions, and it's like a it's like
(12:34):
a bet between two really really famous international movie makers
Jurgen Left and Lars von Trier, and this guy like
sets up these impossible movie making obstructions for this other
movie maker and then makes a movie about him trying
to to to clear the obstructions. So we do that
with Matt, Like when he went to Baltimore, I made
(12:57):
him find Edgar Allan Poe's grave. I made him go
and get a big cannon Natty Bow, the national Bohemian
beer that they made him eat a crab cake.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
You know, it all has to be documented.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
In Jacksonville, there's like some weird cartoon looking dinosaur. I
made him get on an uber and find that. And
you know his obstructions in Houston that the Chargers when
they had their playoff game. I only do it for
the playoffs didn't go so well, and maybe that's why
the Chargers lost some allege. So we'll see, Like I
could send him to Brazil and do obstructions, but he
(13:32):
might not live through.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Huh. I mean, what was the plan in Houston that
he didn't execute?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
I wanted him to go to this really old bar
in downtown and instead, like he was like, well, we
was staying twenty minutes.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I didn't make it.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
He kind of blew it off in a way. And
I'm not saying that's why the Chargers.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Collapsed at all. Yeah, they didn't play well.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
He did make it to one of the structures, like
a weird fountain or something.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Better situation. Is it a situation to keep your guy?
I'm sorry you. Is it a better situation to keep
Stafford or is it a better situation with one of
the other options.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Well, I don't think they're gonna get rid of him
because his wife is annoying, although it's pretty annoying. I mean,
just think about the timeline. Remember last year. I mean
they have Pooka Nakua, who's fixing to be the best
rookie receiver we've seen in the years. Yeah, and he's
on there, he's in there camp. And remember she came
out on her podcast was like, Matt doesn't even relate
(14:28):
with these young guys that I was on their phone
and he doesn't even remember that.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Yeah I do, yeah like that.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Yeah, I mean, let's Sneed doesn't seem like he's not annoying,
but he's got to be annoyed by this, you know.
And I mean, you've seen his frames and the glasses
he wears and that stupid shirt on the I mean,
she's done a lot of things that are pretty questionable.
And then yeah, you know I dated the the backup
(14:57):
to make him j justus. You know it was that,
And now there's like, if I have to be the dog,
I will be. You know, we want to win a championship.
Matthia wants to win. It's like, okay, but I don't
think that's why they'd get rid of him. But if
they're gonna, if they're far apart on a deal, I
don't think that would help that she's got wind in
her jaws, and I think no, I think the pragmatic
(15:20):
thing to do is to bring in Matt Stafford again.
And he's still playing on a high level, and he's
got a great arm and he's competitive and even though
it seems like his wife beats the crap out of him,
he's pretty tough.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
What is he? Cap Rooney?
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Yes, Lauren Hawley, a forgotten nineties actress.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Petros I want to go back and get your thoughts
on the NDA All Star Game as well as Lebron
deciding to opt out of the All Star Game.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Well, I mean, can I go full conspiracy theory? I mean,
I know I already mentioned Brett Farve's nether regions, but
can I go full conspiracy theory?
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Sure? Sure ty? Right?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Do you have any unsolved mysteries music we can play
for Petros?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Will we? I mean, I'll take current Affair the old
Tony Bruno swung. I think Adam Silver did this.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
I don't believe that this idiot in Dallas and our
guy with the tight bomber jacket in La Polenka and
Nico Harrison figured this out themselves and it didn't leak
for months, and I don't believe an ounce of that story.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
I believe that a call was made, probably laid into
the afternoon, that from Genie Buss or some proxy could
be Linda Ramdas to the vampire Adam Silver's house and
in his coffin six feet deep. He took the red
phone call and said blah hello, and because he's like
(16:56):
a vampire, and Genie Buss said, look, we took Lebroun.
Now you've got to get us out of this. His
weird agency is up in our building. He's destroying everything,
and none of our fans like us anymore. Many of
our fans won't start watching the Lakers again.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Until he's gone.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
We need something, just like we needed something when Kareem came,
just like we needed something, when Paul Gasol came, just
like we needed something, and all these other times, and
Silver waved his vampiric fingers and made this happen.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
So he's Jonas's people.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
That makes Lebron and his people, because they're not without power, upset.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
How do they counter him?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Well, they act all cool when Lucas shows up that
he plays the.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Nice guy that won't last. To see where you're going?
He Lebron says, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm not
going to play. I'm gonna wreck your All Star game.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
I'm gonna wait till an hour before tip, and then
I'm gonna squat down and defecate on your entire weekend.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
It's a great theory, but that's a very very strong
all right, can I post this Robert Smoke?
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Did anyone care that he wasn't a part of a
game that really wasn't entertaining? Well, no, but he made
it about himself again, which is not.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Took a shot he could have the least he could
have at least put on the All Star uniform.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Right, at least we have the deflection where oh he
got god lead. Good, nice deflection, Lebron, thanks for ruining
your sport, but just to deflect to a team in
Minnesota Wisconsin. Alright, cool?
Speaker 6 (18:43):
But yeah, you're right here. He could have put the
uniform on. At least he didn't want he Bruh. That
that's Petros. That's the best I've heard because I have
been made aware of the fact that they truly did
not know. I thought they were in the know, but
they're not. They were not in the know about what
(19:03):
took place with this trade.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Well, what bothers me is, you look at all these guys,
the people that work for Lebron, the Lebron media contingency,
and we all know who they are. One of them
looks like a tortoise, and not that you know, I
look kind of like a walrus with anyway, who would
be the tortoise, the one, the one with the horse wind. Now,
(19:26):
these guys all came out and said, right, and I'm
barely trying to pay attention to this stuff, but the
hypocrisy is so glaring. Uh, these guys for years, you know,
every move that's been made with the Lakers. These guys
for years been like, well, you know, Lebron's got nothing
to do with it. A lot of people want to
say he knows, but he's got nothing to do with it.
And then this trade happens and Lebron actually has nothing
(19:49):
to do with it, and they all come out and say, well.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
This was the first time Lebron's haid nothing to do it.
It's like, well, what.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
About the last seven years of your lies, you freak shill.
I don't know how any of the I mean, look,
I am not without problems, and I am not without flaws,
but the lack of integrity and honor not that the
sports media. I mean, we're already the toy department. How
do you mess up the toy department? And how do
you mess up a rock fight? I mean, we have
(20:18):
really destroyed, uh how to cover these people. And it's
because they have proxies within the media that are planted.
I mean, when Lebron came to LA they brought a
studio host and a and a beat writer with him
and said, hey, hire this studio host in here, hire
this beat writer. Do you think they ever write anything
(20:38):
bad about Lebron not.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Thank you Jonas.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yeah, if you know, you know Petro, you know that's
one of those. Yeah, it's though I like that.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
I was at yoga today and and my friend and Joseph,
who I believe was on the Filipino national basketball team,
was asking me, uh, you know what I thought about
the Luca trade. And I told him about the phone,
the bat phone, and the vampire house and some other
guy who was tall. So he probably thought he had
some kind of basketball legitimacy, which he probably does over me.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
He was like, Oh, you guys are going with the
conspiracy theories. It's like, you don't get out of here
talk to me, Petros.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Are you guys gonna Is it a Palla state bitch?
Is it it a? Is it a flex alert? Tomorrow
the Dodgers are back, So money show on l A
in LA mean, yeah, I mean, is this a We're.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Only gonna be on where the Dodgers are going to
play from noon to whatever, and then we're gonna come
on and we're only gonna be on an hour and
then we gotta flip it like a Tommy Frasier or
Eric Crouch pitch to the sideline.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Uh, to the to the Clippers. Okay, we're in Milwaukee.
Speaker 5 (21:54):

the Warmer model with Vidal.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, I know you're talking about Winnie Harlowe.
Congratulations to the happenings. O congrats nice. That's beautiful. And
did you guys know that Cardi B's hooking up with
Stepan Dick? I told Jonas that earlier. See I'm not
just up on Swift and cantup down all the game.
My god, my umbrella, there you go.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
I mean, LaVar just showed me some information about lamar
Odom and who he's dating.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
And uh yeah, did you see that one? Hey, you
got it.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
My first song on the radio that I ever did
parody song was to the Gambler by Kenny Rodgers. You know,
you gotta know when to hold him, but you gotta
know lamar Odom.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
He rolls, blunts and smokes. Oh oh yeah, he found
another one. Third grade he was eleven.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
You found don't don't put eleven in there, you found
another one.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
I just I just saw what's happening. What does she
look like a little different than she young?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
In the mind put it this way, Petros and she
the s is silent. Oh no, there's a tang. Brown
was like, what exactly does that mean? Very very interesting.
Well that's that's wonderful for that one off the market
at the old p is where you can find him.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
On I see it's a custom lifetime sex dollar.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
I mean he was a part of that too. He
used it for ship gears a little bit.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Petro. Yeah, say you got to use that the car poolane.
That's what you gotta do out there. He's this I
used to drive it all the time. But his last
name is really Yeah. You got to know.

fun stuff, juicy rumors, headline storylines, they are yours. Coming
up next here on FSR.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd Weekdays
and Noon Easter not a em Pacific.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Uh one for the money, Yes, two for the show.
A couple of years ago, Tang speaking of bad songs,
me again, you're.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
Not going to ruin my song Playboy. That was the lyrics.
That was that not the lyrics? Yeah, and who sings
that song outcast? Yeah, let's keep it that way.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
DANM well done, All right, right, good, gosh almighty. I
mean that's one way of doing a ryme I mean
friendly fire.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Yeah, all you ain't too big to get slapped out either, bad,
my bad, my bad.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Be clear on that. You always going to resort to violence.
That's what I know. That's what I know. I'm hostile.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
You know, maybe maybe people do have something they they
got a legitimate gripe against me.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
I'm just saying that you were. I mean, you've threatened
me earlier. Oh that guy is still with us, he
might be listening. So yeah, do you think nothing I
don't care.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
I don't care if he If he dies, he dies, Damn,
I don't care. That dude was attacking me man, and
blamed it on me though, How are you going to
attack me and blame the attack on me? That's weird, man, Yeah,
I don't no. Well anyway, Hey.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
It's the Herd here on Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington,
Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox in for Colin. Coming up in
about fifteen minutes from now, in the final edition of
the Headline News here on this Wednesday, we are going
to tell you about some numbers that came in that welp,
don't blame us. We're just reporting the news, all right,
So don't blame us. The numbers are in and it's
(26:30):
not a good look for some people in the world
of sports. That'll be yours here get a little over
fifteen minutes from now. Speaking of numbers, the NFL did
send out a memo to teams on Wednesday informing them
that the salary cap for the twenty twenty five season
will be somewhere between two hundred and seventy seven and
a half and two hundred and eighty one and a
half million. It was set at two fifty five last
(26:53):
year and two twenty four in the twenty twenty three campaign.
So the number over the last two years has jumped
up well a little over fifty million.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Dollars for the NFL. So is that a lot?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I mean it would it would speak to if they're
doing pretty well. It seems like they've rebounded from the
COVID year. Huh yeah, fifty mil.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
And then people need to get comfortable with players earning
some ridiculously huge numbers because most quarterbacks in particular, who
are going to keep pushing the envelope, like their salary
or their compensation is going to be tied to the
percentage of the cap. So, I mean, we're already seeing
quarterbacks make around sixty million per year. Like, I don't
(27:39):
think it's that crazy to see see Patrick Mahomes making
I don't know, ninety million, one hundred million a year.
I mean, in all seriousness, like people can find this
laugh ball you want. The guy has done nothing but
make it to the AFC Championship Round every single year.
He has been a starter. If you were to pay
them one hundred million, do you feel you're over paying him?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
No?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
The guys right now in the NFL the best quarterback.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
If the Chiefs balked on that, there would be somebody
in ten minutes, it would be willing to give them
a hundred million dollars. Jerry Jones would give me a
hundred million dollars, I would think.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
So anyone in the league would do it. Yeah, they
could do it. I mean why wouldn't you. He's got
a lot of football ahead of him. Why wouldn't you so?
I mean there's and and the ROI on that. I mean,
the instant buy in to the hope. If you're selling hope.
Most of these organizations are selling a hope. What better
(28:32):
way to sell hope than to bring in a guy
like like Patrick Mahomes. He's never leaving Kansas City, that's
for certain. So you're right to your point, Yes, you
would pay him one hundred million one Now is that
a year?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Is that yearly? Yeah? Finding some way of paying that, yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
I just the whole discussion about huge money. You can't
give so and so this amount of money. You can't
give this guy this amount of money. It's like, like,
what do you think brock Party's gonna end up getting paid.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
That? But he's gonna get fifty to sixty. You think
he'll be making fifty million a year. Yeah, dang, rock Party, Yeah,
rock Party. Prepare yourself for that reality, LeVar. Wow, all right,
good for him. Why do you look at me?
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Because if Brock parties getting fifty million, then the next
ones up or that, Like that number is ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Oh yeah, that's all.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
That number crouds oh oh, next man up at that
position is ridiculous. That's for quarterbacks. That's what you look at. Son,
We gotta have a discussion. That's what you might have
to flip position.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
You look at Saquon Barkley making thirteen million this year, Yeah,
drastically underpaid.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
Doesn't even matter, like thirteen million, like wow, nothing, that's
like dropping the bucket. And he was fighting for that.
They didn't want paying fourteen in New York. He was
fighting for thirteen million. You talk about Brock Party, in
what world does Brock Party compare to Sakwon Barkley as
(30:13):
an impact player for your team?
Speaker 4 (30:15):
In what world? Thirteen versus fifty? Damn? There's something to
be said about being a QB man. Y'all are treated
very differently. That's a great point.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
I never wanted to be a QB though, so no
shouts out to the QBS man. I mean, because there's
a lot that comes along with that too. I Mean,
I'm sitting here joking about it, but there is a
lot that comes with being a quarterback.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Man.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
I would say in a lot of cases, they have
the less amount of opportunity to have fun as players
because all the pressure that's on them and all the
attention that goes their way. Like a lot of people
talk about it in one way or another, but I mean,
you guys do have a ton of pressure on y'all.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Man. Well, I think the one thing that I would
say is a little bit fair is there's less time
for a quarterback to develop compared to other positions. Like
you get it for like most people probably wrote off
Bryce Young after his rookie year because the way it
looked it looked bad. I mean, I'll be the first
to admit it. It looked bad. It looked like he
(31:16):
wasn't gonna be capable of playing in the NFL. Now
since then, he's improved, He's continued to grow and mature,
and he's found a way of being able to play
his game in the NFL and finished on a high
note this season. But that's the reality of the position
right now, is you get one chance for a first impression,
and that first impression is lasting. I mean, think about this.
(31:36):
Think about Sam Darnald after the year that he had had,
You think that everyone would be clamoring to sign him
to a big deal. And look again, I had someone
who was, you know, with the forty nine ers back
when Darnald was with them a couple of years ago,
and he said, you know, warmed me up on the
field before the game. I said, how Donald. Look. I
was like, I'm kind of fastinated to see what he's
gonna look like if he ever gets a shot in
(31:58):
San Francisco. And he's like, well, if he saw Donald
and brock Purty warm up, you would be sitting there thinking, well,
Donald's gonna be the starter, right. Like, There's not one
physical trade or attribute that brock party has over Sam Darnald.
But again, in between the years is an important part,
and brock Purty's done any tremendous job in Kyle Shanahan's system.
(32:18):
But it further kind of proves the point Donald has
all the tools. You know, he was thought to have
all the tools when he got in the league, but
because of how things went with a dysfunctional organization in
New York, with how things went with a dysfunctional organization
in Carolina, He's fortunately found now a spot in Minnesota
where he got a chance to go play and he
played really, really well this year. But there might be
(32:40):
some people who are hesitant, who are like, yeah, but
I don't know, what about those other years and what
about that first impression he made when he first got
the league, Like people will still hold back because of that.
So that's the toughest part I think for quarterbacks nowadays
is they've got to hit the ground running and then
that's what people basically form their opinions on and they
(33:01):
usually never really get off that.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
It's the Herd here on Fox Sports Radio, Levi Arrington,
Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox in for Colin coming up next

No, no, this is the herd Line News.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
Now.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
This is the herd Line News starring lead to Lap
who was staring down the barrel of a date with
a Philly cheese steak. Yeah, about a half hour. That
place is HOGI that you know. They got to put
their best foot forward.
Speaker 7 (35:53):
Oh yeah, that's the last thing you need.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (35:56):
They make this awesome Chipotle smoky Chipotle sauce I put
on it.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
Oh so good. Cannot wait.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
You better better shopping after Philadelphia. Hogis Philadelphia.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
All you got to do is slap Philadelphia on there,
no matter where you are in the country, and you're
going sell a Hogy or two. You know, it's a
do A real Philly cheese steak is cheese whiz, correct, that's.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
What they say.
Speaker 7 (36:20):
I don't like the cheese whiz.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
I don't go with cheese whiz either, but that is
what it's considered to be the original, the ogs of them.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
But go Italy.
Speaker 12 (36:30):
Yeah, it's like a little shack inside of a parking lot,
outside of a liquor store.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
It's great. Oh perfect, boy, sign me up.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
Well you venture into the liquor store after you're done
or before you're done.
Speaker 12 (36:41):
Uh, you gotta wash it down with something. So yeah,
I'll be I'll be in there. Okay, maybe get a
lot of ticket. We'll see what happens there. You go, guys,
The numbers are out for the NBA All Star Game,
and surprise surprise, viewership is down thirteen percent from last year.
Last year they were at about five point four million,
this year four point seven.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
Wow, Can I act provide you a little more analysis
on that? Sure? Do you know it's the second fewest
or I guess least watched NBA All Star came since
two thousand and just to give like people an understanding
of the decline that the NBA has been on. So
the peak was I believe in like, was it two
thousand and two thousand and three, where it was thirteen
point one million had watched, So I think that was
(37:22):
two thousand and two, and since then it's literally been
on a decline, with a few exceptions like twenty eleven
was nine point one and here and there, but it's
been literally declining since then. So look, I'm not I'm
just not a guy of the answer. Four year as
far as what they should do. But I think if
you're looking at what took place at the same time,
which the Canada USA game did over ten point one
(37:45):
million if you include Canada, then about fourteen or excuse me,
four point four you know, up to five point two
or something like that million at its peak. But if
you look at that format and you divided up the
USA versus you know, the other countries that are involved
the league, I think you'd have a pretty fun game,
at least some more entertaining game to a degree, I think.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
I mean, if they want to fix the rating, just
put on an old NFL game and that the way
people will tune in, you know, if you want to
get there that interested. So but hey, whatever you guys do,
don't be too critical, you know, because you know, just
people just like come out after you.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Yeah, people just like to complain. It's not a it's
not the reality. It's just complaining about the game. Let
me ask this question then, our NBA players unaware of
the dramatic decline in ratings that have happened now for
years in the making. I mean, like, like, how can
you how can you not acknowledge that? I don't know
it's a good question.
Speaker 7 (38:38):
It was brutal.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Was it was Trey Young the one who came out
and said, yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
Like it at all, Like I just didn't like whatever
we were doing. That just for the way. What makes
these numbers worse, too, is how Nielsen just changed their
rings for the out of home you know rating system
we had talked about, Like when you look at the
NFL or the Super Bowl, I mean that was an
all time highest most rated game ever and it was
a blowout, which seems like it doesn't make any sense.
(39:04):
So that even makes this look that much worse if
you really think about it.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Lee, what did Daytona do? What was Daytona five hundred?
I'd love because that was actually a really entertaining race.
And I'm curious to see what their numbers were in comparison,
or at least in comparison to last year.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
What they did.
Speaker 12 (39:20):
I am seeing five point three million at a high
of six point three.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
So they beat the NBA All Star Game.
Speaker 7 (39:27):
Yes, seven point five the highest.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Okay, now, everything's fine, listen, we're just complaining. Let's just
everyone'd rather watch cars drive around in a circle. Everything
fine for hours.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
I mean, if we're being real. Everything's fine. They were
up from last year. It's a great race.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Yeah, oh god?
Speaker 4 (39:44):
What else more?
Speaker 12 (39:45):
Numbers four ye, according to the American Gaming Association's annual
report came out today, point seven that was the average.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
The highest was seventy five.
Speaker 12 (39:54):
American Gaming Associations annual report came out today. The American
sports betting industry posted a record thirteen point seven billion
dollars in revenue last year, up from eleven point eleven
billion in twenty twenty three. They took in nearly one
hundred and fifty billion dollars worth of bets, twenty two
point two percent increase from twenty twenty three one at
a rate of nine point three.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
And that was just from John day Porter. Who else bet?
Speaker 6 (40:19):
So?
Speaker 4 (40:19):
How's going to throw uriname in there? Yeah? Two dollars
dollar bets start to add up after a while.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
I'll say this man lead to lap just delivered the goods.
Can't say enough, You're very welcome.
Speaker 6 (40:31):
I just can't believe he hated on Captain America the
new one though. That's that really was a race. Very disappointing.
Love black panther, Oh wow, So.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
Because your love black panther, you're not racist? Oh hey, Lee,
do you have a bunch of black friends still?
Speaker 3 (40:48):
And you listen to the temptations? Hey Ryan, I'm sorry
that he got subjected to this today. First of all,
he's you know, blowing it up in there, and then
he's making comments like that his his true uh true
colors came out.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
Wow, Yeah, what a horrible way. Then you show a
Red Hulk or Green Folk. I'm more of an adult,
so I don't partake in either.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
I'm not It's no, that's not my thing.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Yeah, I'll skip Captain America.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
My wife wanted me to go see that movie with
She was taking my son and her sister was going.
She was taking her kids. Like, yeah, so the movie
starts with in my what movie just Captain America.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
I was like, you think I'm going? No chance?
Speaker 6 (41:33):
Zero chance that h h l A theater? Is that
like the real deal? Should we go? Should I go there?
Speaker 4 (41:40):
The theater?
Speaker 6 (41:41):
It's like h h l A. It's like a big,
big theater off the side of the Howard Howard hughestone mark.
I haven't been. It looks like it's badass, but I
don't know. I want to go to one that's like
really really, like you know, like that next level one
I've been to, the one that has the missed blow
on you and all that stuff.
Speaker 7 (42:01):
The forty Yeah, no, it looks cool. I'll check that out. Yeah,
let's go, let's go see a movie.

LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Hi. You can find us.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Here on the iHeartRadio app and on hundreds of affiliates
all across the country, and we are going to be
taking you all the way up until the end of
this hour three pm Eastern time, twelve o'clock Pacific, and
we will be catching up here with our guy, the
Old P. Petros Papadek is coming up here just a
couple of moments from now. You hear Petros on in
LA weekdays with Matt Muddy Smith, who's the voice of
(01:01):
the l A Chargers on radio, and so I'm sure
Petros will have some thoughts. Maybe, uh, maybe the Old
P will be sent out to Brazil uh for uh
to cover the l A Chargers.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
That'd be fun.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, there could be, uh could be some conversation we
had there with Petros. So as soon as we've got
Petros lined up and ready to go, uh, we will
uh we will keep you posted here, you know, not
imagining we're going to have any p Prisco issues from yesterday.
But it does look like confused looks there behind the scenes.
Your thoughts on the confusion behind the scenes, Brady, what
(01:32):
would you uh, what would you say about that? A
lot of.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
It does seem like whenever Lee's involved. Not to throw
Lee under the bus, but for those of you that
have listened to our show early in the morning, there
tends to be a lot of fuzzy things that are
going on and stuff just doesn't work. And Lee maybe
forgot to call one of the guests to say, hey,
we changed our hours. We're actually going to be calling
(02:05):
you a little later in the day. Is that okay?
Sometimes those uh, those little details fall through the through
the cracks running for Kurrs. Here he comes, here comes Yep,
there he is running from Captain Take two days in
a row.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
It's very, very very troubling, all right, So without further Ado,
let's turn it over to the man himself. Petros Papade
because he is the co host of the Petros and
Money Show, which you can hear on the Blowtorch AM
five seveny l A sports a Fox college football analyst
and get him on AX at the old p P
good morning slash afternoon depending on where you're listening in
(02:43):
the country. But we appreciate you coming on with us here.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
No problem. Hello, Hello, This is not my first time
on this show. Nice, but usually it's the filings that
asked me to come on.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Oh okay, so I see shooting. What shots? Huh huh.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
I've been on there with count four oh five, but
not not in a while.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Okay, cat bang bang?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Is that a shot at you Jonas? Yeah, of course
it is. No, No, it's not. I'm count one on one.
He's off the one one.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Petros. When is the last time you saw Jonas in person?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Not long? A couple of months ago. Yeah. He has
an interesting look. Was it was? He also looks pale
as hell like he never goes out in the sun.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Well, I mean, the guy does the radio show at
two in the morning in in the West Coast, and
and then he sometimes you know, does one in the afternoon.
What I'm saying, is he's indoors a lot.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah, I don't think is gonna help at night. It's
an editor guy probably go outside. A guy that sits
in an edit bay all day, it just grows old.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Night. It is true because of these suns.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
All right, I'm here for you guys. I know we've
caught up since the Super Bowl, but I wanted to
make sure you understood. There's many a morning's where I
looked out in that crowd and I thought, that's Kansas
City's version of Petros. Hey, Yeah, here's Philadelphia's version of Petros.
Yeah it's tough. Hey, that's Saint Louis's version of Petros.
(04:23):
I mean you kind of kept going down the line.
I completely understood your stance on that. Where is the
next Super Bowl, Santa Clara? Yeah, I mean that is
an amazing drop off, right. I mean I'm not for
parties or people or really a good time at all.
I'm very hateful, which is why probably haven't been on
in a while. But that being said, Uh, New Orleans
(04:47):
is a great town, and New Orleans is a fun resort,
kind of not resort, but convention. It kind of absorbs
that kind of stuff. Very well, and the super Bowl's
great there because you're having a good time. But at
the same time, you don't feel like the cheeseball idiot
that you really are because you're partying at the super
Bowl that does not exist in Santa Clara. In fact,
(05:07):
almost nothing exists in Santa Clara, and you're nowhere close
to anywhere you want to be. San Jose has nothing
to offer you. San Francisco used to be the Bagdad
by the Bay. Now it's a big pile of poop
and needles. But that being said, I mean, it's still
a kind of a fun city to kick around in.
But you're you know, you're at least forty five minutes
(05:28):
from there in Santa Clara in a badly built stadium.
I mean, that is kind of an amazing thing in
today's day and age that we have all this technology,
all these architects, all these people in the twenty first century,
and you can still just totally drop the ball building
an NFL football stadium, even though you have billions of
(05:50):
dollars and all that, you just build it the wrong way.
But the sun is like, well, the sun is blaring
down on you. At one o'clock on the home team side,
which was a big Probably have you been in there? Yeah, Brady,
we did a game in there once. Remember we did
the Packed twelve Championship. Yeah. Which, can I make a
(06:11):
case for you? I feel like like you're an unbelievable host.
And I'm not just saying this because you're on with us,
Like I've worked with you, I've witnessed it. You did
do such a good job in the snares. You did
the Big twelve one the one year we were together,
and then you did the Pac twelve one, and both
of them, I was like, I wanted to watch those,
Like usually that's like okay, like let's pack up and go.
(06:32):
I literally stayed just to watch, just to watch you
on those, Like that's how entertaining it was. Yeah. They
don't ask me to do him much anymore.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
They used to like me to do the old Doctor
Pepper halftime thing because they couldn't trust Bruce Feldman with it.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I guess no, I mean, I'm not Bruce, But could
you imagine him do it? That's not a big deal. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Could you imagine he'd sit there and like take a
text from Chip Kelly halfway through and no one would
know who won. Uh, so that's why they would have
me do it, I guess is just to do Doctor Pepper.
But you're right, I enjoyed those. I remember doing one
of those, the one I did at the PAC twelve
when Washington our friend Chris Peterson beat a pretty beat
up Utah team, very boring game, it was like nine
(07:12):
to six, And I remember doing that half doing that
postgame with Larry Scott, who was at that point already
universally despised, and anybody with half a brain saw well
he was taken down the conference.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
But besides the nice gift you used to get at
the Patch twelve dinners days.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Oh come on, still, I still use my earbuds right now.
But but Larry Scott was like, okay, I'll take the
microphone now. I said, no, you won't, you will not.
And I almost had like to battle him with my
fist and the mic where he tried to like kind
of pride out of my hand, like like Pat Hayden
and Steve Sarkisian behind stage that one night, and and
(07:52):
it got a little ugly for a second. But the
one thing you have to know is if you ever
give your mic to anybody, I don't care if it's
Rob grown Kowski who just won the Super Bowl or what.
You can't give your mic to Larry Scott or the
young man you're interviewing, or or the head coach, be
it Chris Peterson or anybody. You've got to keep that mic.
If they want to hold the mic, they've got to
(08:14):
hold the mic outside of your hand. Your hand has
to be the prophylactic because if you give up that mic,
you're never getting hired again. Now, of course I never
gave up the mic, and I'm still not getting hired again.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
So speaking of getting hired or getting fired or moving on.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I want to get higher. Yeah, good, good again, good again.
I know that song too. I know That's why I
did it. Go ahead, your.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Guy, Matthew Stafford, is he to go or not to go?
That is the question. And do you like the I
guess we're hearing Garoppolo possibly or maybe you know, I don't.
What are you thinking in terms of quarter?
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Well? What is that that old schefter said? You know,
not that I'd pay much attention to anything. But schefter
said maybe Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Yeah, if Stafford goes away, well you think about that?
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Well, don't they have a bit of a connection through
Lafleur and all those guys from the commanders. From what
I understand, McVeigh and all those people, they were all
on that Shanahan staff, Ye, through your old team LeVar
and then and then they've kind of scattered around the NFL.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
But most of those.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Guys I imagine kind of like Andy Reid and Brett
Farv and that old uh, that old contingent of coaches
Steve mary Yucci that we used to hear about. Those
guys all seem to really like Aaron Rodgers, you know
the same way all those guys that scattered around from
the Green Bay staff under Mike Holmgren really like Brett Farve.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
So maybe that.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Works in la Aaron can be in a major media market,
and it gives the the the the rams a chance
to stick it to Kelly Stafford because they're tired of
listening to her and podcast. My radio partner brought that
up yesterday on our show, that that maybe they say, oh, Kelly,
you like that, you want to go on there and
say this, say that, Well, here you go. You get
(10:10):
to go to New York City where they suck, and
here comes Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
To take your place. Dang. Yeah, we don't need your
podcast together.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Rogers needs that redemption, right, I mean, because Farv did
the same thing. He left Green Bay. They went, he
went to the jets. He took a picture of his
gray pube pets.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Whoa, Well he didn't.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
What are you talking about? That wasn't him. I mean
it was always like his crocs, but that was definitely
not him.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
All Right, you're right, I'm sorry that's alleged. That was
definitely well, you could just say it didn't end well.
It ended in controversy, and because of that, you know,
he needed a redemption story, which he really did get
in Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I mean he was.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Bawling his old asshole. He did have a nice watch
in Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
I'll show you a watch. Dang.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
So anyway, maybe Aaron Rodgers gets that at SOFI. You know,
that'd be pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Patro's just curious your thoughts. Obviously you mentioned your partner,
Matt money Smith, the voice of the Bolts. They're on
their way to Brazil.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I saw that. Yeah, well it's a plan.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
As you guys know, I'm a bit of an agoraphobe
and really really don't like traveling, getting worse as I
get older. I have to go places, and I do.
But going to Brazil, where I've read a little bit about,
but I know it's pretty wild and chaotic, is not
on my list. Although I do enjoy the music the Tropicalia,
(11:41):
which is like what they listen to inside Brazil, and
the BSA Nova which they set around the world with
the great writer and composer Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luis
Bonfa and many like that.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
So yeah, I'm do so well versed when you have
these moments like like what when you have an agoraphobic moment,
I just get uncomfortable, you know, Okay, and that's it,
like you, but you can handle it.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Though, I guess. I mean, I haven't been to Brazil.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
No one's trying to steal my kidne You know that
Ryan Lockey got in a fight at a gas stage.
Remember the Swimmer. Yeah, no, it looks like a lot
of fun. What we like to do with Matt because
he does travel, you know, he works with the Chargers
and and he travels other than that too, he does
college basketball and stuff. I like to There's a movie
called The Five Obstructions, and it's like a it's like
(12:34):
a bet between two really really famous international movie makers
Jurgen Left and Lars von Trier, and this guy like
sets up these impossible movie making obstructions for this other
movie maker and then makes a movie about him trying
to to to clear the obstructions. So we do that
with Matt, Like when he went to Baltimore, I made
(12:57):
him find Edgar Allan Poe's grave. I made him go
and get a big cannon Natty Bow, the national Bohemian
beer that they made him eat a crab cake.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
You know, it all has to be documented.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
In Jacksonville, there's like some weird cartoon looking dinosaur. I
made him get on an uber and find that. And
you know his obstructions in Houston that the Chargers when
they had their playoff game. I only do it for
the playoffs didn't go so well, and maybe that's why
the Chargers lost some allege. So we'll see, Like I
could send him to Brazil and do obstructions, but he
(13:32):
might not live through.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Huh. I mean, what was the plan in Houston that
he didn't execute?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
I wanted him to go to this really old bar
in downtown and instead, like he was like, well, we
was staying twenty minutes.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I didn't make it.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
He kind of blew it off in a way. And
I'm not saying that's why the Chargers.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Collapsed at all. Yeah, they didn't play well.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
He did make it to one of the structures, like
a weird fountain or something.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Better situation. Is it a situation to keep your guy?
I'm sorry you. Is it a better situation to keep
Stafford or is it a better situation with one of
the other options.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Well, I don't think they're gonna get rid of him
because his wife is annoying, although it's pretty annoying. I mean,
just think about the timeline. Remember last year. I mean
they have Pooka Nakua, who's fixing to be the best
rookie receiver we've seen in the years. Yeah, and he's
on there, he's in there camp. And remember she came
out on her podcast was like, Matt doesn't even relate
(14:28):
with these young guys that I was on their phone
and he doesn't even remember that.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Yeah I do, yeah like that.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Yeah, I mean, let's Sneed doesn't seem like he's not annoying,
but he's got to be annoyed by this, you know.
And I mean, you've seen his frames and the glasses
he wears and that stupid shirt on the I mean,
she's done a lot of things that are pretty questionable.
And then yeah, you know I dated the the backup
(14:57):
to make him j justus. You know it was that,
And now there's like, if I have to be the dog,
I will be. You know, we want to win a championship.
Matthia wants to win. It's like, okay, but I don't
think that's why they'd get rid of him. But if
they're gonna, if they're far apart on a deal, I
don't think that would help that she's got wind in
her jaws, and I think no, I think the pragmatic
(15:20):
thing to do is to bring in Matt Stafford again.
And he's still playing on a high level, and he's
got a great arm and he's competitive and even though
it seems like his wife beats the crap out of him,
he's pretty tough.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
What is he? Cap Rooney?
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Yes, Lauren Hawley, a forgotten nineties actress.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Petros I want to go back and get your thoughts
on the NDA All Star Game as well as Lebron
deciding to opt out of the All Star Game.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Well, I mean, can I go full conspiracy theory? I mean,
I know I already mentioned Brett Farve's nether regions, but
can I go full conspiracy theory?
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Sure? Sure ty? Right?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Do you have any unsolved mysteries music we can play
for Petros?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Will we? I mean, I'll take current Affair the old
Tony Bruno swung. I think Adam Silver did this.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
I don't believe that this idiot in Dallas and our
guy with the tight bomber jacket in La Polenka and
Nico Harrison figured this out themselves and it didn't leak
for months, and I don't believe an ounce of that story.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
I believe that a call was made, probably laid into
the afternoon, that from Genie Buss or some proxy could
be Linda Ramdas to the vampire Adam Silver's house and
in his coffin six feet deep. He took the red
phone call and said blah hello, and because he's like
(16:56):
a vampire, and Genie Buss said, look, we took Lebroun.
Now you've got to get us out of this. His
weird agency is up in our building. He's destroying everything,
and none of our fans like us anymore. Many of
our fans won't start watching the Lakers again.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Until he's gone.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
We need something, just like we needed something when Kareem came,
just like we needed something, when Paul Gasol came, just
like we needed something, and all these other times, and
Silver waved his vampiric fingers and made this happen.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
So he's Jonas's people.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
That makes Lebron and his people, because they're not without power, upset.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
How do they counter him?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Well, they act all cool when Lucas shows up that
he plays the.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Nice guy that won't last. To see where you're going?
He Lebron says, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm not
going to play. I'm gonna wreck your All Star game.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
I'm gonna wait till an hour before tip, and then
I'm gonna squat down and defecate on your entire weekend.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
It's a great theory, but that's a very very strong
all right, can I post this Robert Smoke?
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Did anyone care that he wasn't a part of a
game that really wasn't entertaining? Well, no, but he made
it about himself again, which is not.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Took a shot he could have the least he could
have at least put on the All Star uniform.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Right, at least we have the deflection where oh he
got god lead. Good, nice deflection, Lebron, thanks for ruining
your sport, but just to deflect to a team in
Minnesota Wisconsin. Alright, cool?
Speaker 6 (18:43):
But yeah, you're right here. He could have put the
uniform on. At least he didn't want he Bruh. That
that's Petros. That's the best I've heard because I have
been made aware of the fact that they truly did
not know. I thought they were in the know, but
they're not. They were not in the know about what
(19:03):
took place with this trade.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Well, what bothers me is, you look at all these guys,
the people that work for Lebron, the Lebron media contingency,
and we all know who they are. One of them
looks like a tortoise, and not that you know, I
look kind of like a walrus with anyway, who would
be the tortoise, the one, the one with the horse wind. Now,
(19:26):
these guys all came out and said, right, and I'm
barely trying to pay attention to this stuff, but the
hypocrisy is so glaring. Uh, these guys for years, you know,
every move that's been made with the Lakers. These guys
for years been like, well, you know, Lebron's got nothing
to do with it. A lot of people want to
say he knows, but he's got nothing to do with it.
And then this trade happens and Lebron actually has nothing
(19:49):
to do with it, and they all come out and say, well.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
This was the first time Lebron's haid nothing to do it.
It's like, well, what.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
About the last seven years of your lies, you freak shill.
I don't know how any of the I mean, look,
I am not without problems, and I am not without flaws,
but the lack of integrity and honor not that the
sports media. I mean, we're already the toy department. How
do you mess up the toy department? And how do
you mess up a rock fight? I mean, we have
(20:18):
really destroyed, uh how to cover these people. And it's
because they have proxies within the media that are planted.
I mean, when Lebron came to LA they brought a
studio host and a and a beat writer with him
and said, hey, hire this studio host in here, hire
this beat writer. Do you think they ever write anything
(20:38):
bad about Lebron not.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Thank you Jonas.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yeah, if you know, you know Petro, you know that's
one of those. Yeah, it's though I like that.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
I was at yoga today and and my friend and Joseph,
who I believe was on the Filipino national basketball team,
was asking me, uh, you know what I thought about
the Luca trade. And I told him about the phone,
the bat phone, and the vampire house and some other
guy who was tall. So he probably thought he had
some kind of basketball legitimacy, which he probably does over me.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
He was like, Oh, you guys are going with the
conspiracy theories. It's like, you don't get out of here
talk to me, Petros.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Are you guys gonna Is it a Palla state bitch?
Is it it a? Is it a flex alert? Tomorrow
the Dodgers are back, So money show on l A
in LA mean, yeah, I mean, is this a We're.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Only gonna be on where the Dodgers are going to
play from noon to whatever, and then we're gonna come
on and we're only gonna be on an hour and
then we gotta flip it like a Tommy Frasier or
Eric Crouch pitch to the sideline.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Uh, to the to the Clippers. Okay, we're in Milwaukee.
Speaker 5 (21:54):

Congratulations to the happenings. O congrats nice. That's beautiful. And
did you guys know that Cardi B's hooking up with
Stepan Dick? I told Jonas that earlier. See I'm not
just up on Swift and cantup down all the game.
My god, my umbrella, there you go.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
I mean, LaVar just showed me some information about lamar
Odom and who he's dating.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
And uh yeah, did you see that one? Hey, you
got it.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
My first song on the radio that I ever did
parody song was to the Gambler by Kenny Rodgers. You know,
you gotta know when to hold him, but you gotta
know lamar Odom.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
He rolls, blunts and smokes. Oh oh yeah, he found
another one. Third grade he was eleven.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
You found don't don't put eleven in there, you found
another one.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
I just I just saw what's happening. What does she
look like a little different than she young?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
In the mind put it this way, Petros and she
the s is silent. Oh no, there's a tang. Brown

Well that's that's wonderful for that one off the market

Speaker 6 (23:24):
I mean he was a part of that too. He
used it for ship gears a little bit.
Speaker 4 (23:30):

That's what you gotta do out there. He's this I
used to drive it all the time. But his last
name is really Yeah. You got to know.

fun stuff, juicy rumors, headline storylines, they are yours. Coming
up next here on FSR.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd Weekdays
and Noon Easter not a em Pacific.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Uh one for the money, Yes, two for the show.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
DANM well done, All right, right, good, gosh almighty. I
mean that's one way of doing a ryme I mean
friendly fire.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Yeah, all you ain't too big to get slapped out either, bad,
my bad, my bad.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Be clear on that. You always going to resort to violence.
That's what I know. That's what I know. I'm hostile.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
You know, maybe maybe people do have something they they
got a legitimate gripe against me.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
I'm just saying that you were. I mean, you've threatened
me earlier. Oh that guy is still with us, he
might be listening. So yeah, do you think nothing I
don't care.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
I don't care if he If he dies, he dies, Damn,
I don't care. That dude was attacking me man, and
blamed it on me though, How are you going to
attack me and blame the attack on me? That's weird, man, Yeah,
I don't no. Well anyway, Hey.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
It's the Herd here on Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington,
Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox in for Colin. Coming up in
about fifteen minutes from now, in the final edition of
the Headline News here on this Wednesday, we are going
to tell you about some numbers that came in that welp,
don't blame us. We're just reporting the news, all right,
So don't blame us. The numbers are in and it's
(26:30):
not a good look for some people in the world
of sports. That'll be yours here get a little over
fifteen minutes from now. Speaking of numbers, the NFL did
send out a memo to teams on Wednesday informing them
that the salary cap for the twenty twenty five season
will be somewhere between two hundred and seventy seven and
a half and two hundred and eighty one and a
half million. It was set at two fifty five last
(26:53):
year and two twenty four in the twenty twenty three campaign.
So the number over the last two years has jumped
up well a little over fifty million.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Dollars for the NFL. So is that a lot?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I mean it would it would speak to if they're
doing pretty well. It seems like they've rebounded from the
COVID year. Huh yeah, fifty mil.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
And then people need to get comfortable with players earning
some ridiculously huge numbers because most quarterbacks in particular, who
are going to keep pushing the envelope, like their salary
or their compensation is going to be tied to the
percentage of the cap. So, I mean, we're already seeing
quarterbacks make around sixty million per year. Like, I don't
(27:39):
think it's that crazy to see see Patrick Mahomes making
I don't know, ninety million, one hundred million a year.
I mean, in all seriousness, like people can find this
laugh ball you want. The guy has done nothing but
make it to the AFC Championship Round every single year.
He has been a starter. If you were to pay
them one hundred million, do you feel you're over paying him?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
No?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
The guys right now in the NFL the best quarterback.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
If the Chiefs balked on that, there would be somebody
in ten minutes, it would be willing to give them
a hundred million dollars. Jerry Jones would give me a
hundred million dollars, I would think.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
So anyone in the league would do it. Yeah, they
could do it. I mean why wouldn't you. He's got
a lot of football ahead of him. Why wouldn't you so?
I mean there's and and the ROI on that. I mean,
the instant buy in to the hope. If you're selling hope.
Most of these organizations are selling a hope. What better
(28:32):
way to sell hope than to bring in a guy
like like Patrick Mahomes. He's never leaving Kansas City, that's
for certain. So you're right to your point, Yes, you
would pay him one hundred million one Now is that
a year?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Is that yearly? Yeah? Finding some way of paying that, yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
I just the whole discussion about huge money. You can't
give so and so this amount of money. You can't
give this guy this amount of money. It's like, like,
what do you think brock Party's gonna end up getting paid.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
That? But he's gonna get fifty to sixty. You think
he'll be making fifty million a year. Yeah, dang, rock Party, Yeah,
rock Party. Prepare yourself for that reality, LeVar. Wow, all right,
good for him. Why do you look at me?
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Because if Brock parties getting fifty million, then the next
ones up or that, Like that number is ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Oh yeah, that's all.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
That number crouds oh oh, next man up at that
position is ridiculous. That's for quarterbacks. That's what you look at. Son,
We gotta have a discussion. That's what you might have
to flip position.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
You look at Saquon Barkley making thirteen million this year, Yeah,
drastically underpaid.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
Doesn't even matter, like thirteen million, like wow, nothing, that's
like dropping the bucket. And he was fighting for that.
They didn't want paying fourteen in New York. He was
fighting for thirteen million. You talk about Brock Party, in
what world does Brock Party compare to Sakwon Barkley as
(30:13):
an impact player for your team?
Speaker 4 (30:15):
In what world? Thirteen versus fifty? Damn? There's something to
be said about being a QB man. Y'all are treated
very differently. That's a great point.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
I never wanted to be a QB though, so no
shouts out to the QBS man. I mean, because there's
a lot that comes along with that too. I Mean,
I'm sitting here joking about it, but there is a
lot that comes with being a quarterback.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Man.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
I would say in a lot of cases, they have
the less amount of opportunity to have fun as players
because all the pressure that's on them and all the
attention that goes their way. Like a lot of people
talk about it in one way or another, but I mean,
you guys do have a ton of pressure on y'all.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Man. Well, I think the one thing that I would
say is a little bit fair is there's less time
for a quarterback to develop compared to other positions. Like
you get it for like most people probably wrote off
Bryce Young after his rookie year because the way it
looked it looked bad. I mean, I'll be the first
to admit it. It looked bad. It looked like he
(31:16):
wasn't gonna be capable of playing in the NFL. Now
since then, he's improved, He's continued to grow and mature,
and he's found a way of being able to play
his game in the NFL and finished on a high
note this season. But that's the reality of the position
right now, is you get one chance for a first impression,
and that first impression is lasting. I mean, think about this.
(31:36):
Think about Sam Darnald after the year that he had had,
You think that everyone would be clamoring to sign him
to a big deal. And look again, I had someone
who was, you know, with the forty nine ers back
when Darnald was with them a couple of years ago,
and he said, you know, warmed me up on the
field before the game. I said, how Donald. Look. I
was like, I'm kind of fastinated to see what he's
gonna look like if he ever gets a shot in
(31:58):
San Francisco. And he's like, well, if he saw Donald
and brock Purty warm up, you would be sitting there thinking, well,
Donald's gonna be the starter, right. Like, There's not one
physical trade or attribute that brock party has over Sam Darnald.
But again, in between the years is an important part,
and brock Purty's done any tremendous job in Kyle Shanahan's system.
(32:18):
But it further kind of proves the point Donald has
all the tools. You know, he was thought to have
all the tools when he got in the league, but
because of how things went with a dysfunctional organization in
New York, with how things went with a dysfunctional organization
in Carolina, He's fortunately found now a spot in Minnesota
where he got a chance to go play and he
played really, really well this year. But there might be
(32:40):
some people who are hesitant, who are like, yeah, but
I don't know, what about those other years and what
about that first impression he made when he first got
the league, Like people will still hold back because of that.
So that's the toughest part I think for quarterbacks nowadays
is they've got to hit the ground running and then
that's what people basically form their opinions on and they
(33:01):
usually never really get off that.
Speaker 3 (33:03):

This is the herd Line News starring lead to Lap
who was staring down the barrel of a date with
a Philly cheese steak. Yeah, about a half hour. That
place is HOGI that you know. They got to put
their best foot forward.
Speaker 7 (35:53):
Oh yeah, that's the last thing you need.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (35:56):
They make this awesome Chipotle smoky Chipotle sauce I put
on it.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
Oh so good. Cannot wait.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
You better better shopping after Philadelphia. Hogis Philadelphia.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
All you got to do is slap Philadelphia on there,
no matter where you are in the country, and you're
going sell a Hogy or two. You know, it's a
do A real Philly cheese steak is cheese whiz, correct, that's.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
What they say.
Speaker 7 (36:20):
I don't like the cheese whiz.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
I don't go with cheese whiz either, but that is
what it's considered to be the original, the ogs of them.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
But go Italy.
Speaker 12 (36:30):
Yeah, it's like a little shack inside of a parking lot,
outside of a liquor store.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
It's great. Oh perfect, boy, sign me up.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
Well you venture into the liquor store after you're done
or before you're done.
Speaker 12 (36:41):
Uh, you gotta wash it down with something. So yeah,
I'll be I'll be in there. Okay, maybe get a
lot of ticket. We'll see what happens there. You go, guys,
The numbers are out for the NBA All Star Game,
and surprise surprise, viewership is down thirteen percent from last year.
Last year they were at about five point four million,
this year four point seven.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
Wow, Can I act provide you a little more analysis
on that? Sure? Do you know it's the second fewest
or I guess least watched NBA All Star came since
two thousand and just to give like people an understanding
of the decline that the NBA has been on. So
the peak was I believe in like, was it two
thousand and two thousand and three, where it was thirteen
point one million had watched, So I think that was
(37:22):
two thousand and two, and since then it's literally been
on a decline, with a few exceptions like twenty eleven
was nine point one and here and there, but it's
been literally declining since then. So look, I'm not I'm
just not a guy of the answer. Four year as
far as what they should do. But I think if
you're looking at what took place at the same time,
which the Canada USA game did over ten point one
(37:45):
million if you include Canada, then about fourteen or excuse me,
four point four you know, up to five point two
or something like that million at its peak. But if
you look at that format and you divided up the
USA versus you know, the other countries that are involved
the league, I think you'd have a pretty fun game,
at least some more entertaining game to a degree, I think.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
I mean, if they want to fix the rating, just
put on an old NFL game and that the way
people will tune in, you know, if you want to
get there that interested. So but hey, whatever you guys do,
don't be too critical, you know, because you know, just
people just like come out after you.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Yeah, people just like to complain. It's not a it's
not the reality. It's just complaining about the game. Let
me ask this question then, our NBA players unaware of
the dramatic decline in ratings that have happened now for
years in the making. I mean, like, like, how can
you how can you not acknowledge that? I don't know
it's a good question.
Speaker 7 (38:38):
It was brutal.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Was it was Trey Young the one who came out
and said, yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
Like it at all, Like I just didn't like whatever
we were doing. That just for the way. What makes
these numbers worse, too, is how Nielsen just changed their
rings for the out of home you know rating system
we had talked about, Like when you look at the
NFL or the Super Bowl, I mean that was an
all time highest most rated game ever and it was
a blowout, which seems like it doesn't make any sense.
(39:04):
So that even makes this look that much worse if
you really think about it.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Lee, what did Daytona do? What was Daytona five hundred?
I'd love because that was actually a really entertaining race.
And I'm curious to see what their numbers were in comparison,
or at least in comparison to last year.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
What they did.
Speaker 12 (39:20):
I am seeing five point three million at a high
of six point three.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
So they beat the NBA All Star Game.
Speaker 7 (39:27):
Yes, seven point five the highest.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Okay, now, everything's fine, listen, we're just complaining. Let's just
everyone'd rather watch cars drive around in a circle. Everything
fine for hours.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
I mean, if we're being real. Everything's fine. They were
up from last year. It's a great race.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Yeah, oh god?
Speaker 4 (39:44):
What else more?
Speaker 12 (39:45):
Numbers four ye, according to the American Gaming Association's annual
report came out today, point seven that was the average.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
The highest was seventy five.
Speaker 12 (39:54):
American Gaming Associations annual report came out today. The American
sports betting industry posted a record thirteen point seven billion
dollars in revenue last year, up from eleven point eleven
billion in twenty twenty three. They took in nearly one
hundred and fifty billion dollars worth of bets, twenty two
point two percent increase from twenty twenty three one at
a rate of nine point three.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
And that was just from John day Porter. Who else bet?
Speaker 6 (40:19):
So?
Speaker 4 (40:19):
How's going to throw uriname in there? Yeah? Two dollars
dollar bets start to add up after a while.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
I'll say this man lead to lap just delivered the goods.
Can't say enough, You're very welcome.
Speaker 6 (40:31):
I just can't believe he hated on Captain America the
new one though. That's that really was a race. Very disappointing.
Love black panther, Oh wow, So.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
Because your love black panther, you're not racist? Oh hey, Lee,
do you have a bunch of black friends still?
Speaker 3 (40:48):
And you listen to the temptations? Hey Ryan, I'm sorry
that he got subjected to this today. First of all,
he's you know, blowing it up in there, and then
he's making comments like that his his true uh true
colors came out.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
Wow, Yeah, what a horrible way. Then you show a
Red Hulk or Green Folk. I'm more of an adult,
so I don't partake in either.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
I'm not It's no, that's not my thing.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Yeah, I'll skip Captain America.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
My wife wanted me to go see that movie with
She was taking my son and her sister was going.
She was taking her kids. Like, yeah, so the movie
starts with in my what movie just Captain America.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
I was like, you think I'm going? No chance?
Speaker 6 (41:33):
Zero chance that h h l A theater? Is that
like the real deal? Should we go? Should I go there?
Speaker 4 (41:40):
The theater?
Speaker 6 (41:41):
It's like h h l A. It's like a big,
big theater off the side of the Howard Howard hughestone mark.
I haven't been. It looks like it's badass, but I
don't know. I want to go to one that's like
really really, like you know, like that next level one
I've been to, the one that has the missed blow
on you and all that stuff.
Speaker 7 (42:01):
The forty Yeah, no, it looks cool. I'll check that out. Yeah,
let's go, let's go see a movie.
