Actually here? Do we count last week?

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:20):
I count that. I count that.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Well, there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
You know, I mean, if I'm going a bracket, do
you guys? Not makes people like pick these because sometimes
it could be a differentiator, you.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Know, it's not connected to the bracket.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
And I were not the one we do. There's certain
brackets when and typically when people print.

Speaker 5 (01:39):
Them out, some people will pick these.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
You're a nerd Q.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Hey, I will not deny that. But I also loved
the way that first game finished last night.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
I fell asleep, did you Yeah? That was early one too.
What time was it?

Speaker 5 (01:56):
That would have been like five pm?

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Here?

Speaker 5 (01:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:59):
I was sleep, sleep, sleep, I woke up.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
What you did you see the kind of final play? Though? No,
it was basically it was basically a hail Mary. That's
that's what it was.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
They launched that thing down there with three receivers and
got tipped around and then you know someone was there
for the layout.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Nothing but most perfectly executed at a bounce play.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Well, I think some people would argue that it was
like a hail Mary, like it's tipped around.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
And something makes it amazing.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Antonio Brown when on when on X and said, it's
the bear secondary. Oh dang, because the ball bounced around
and leave it up to a Knox to make the
big play to win the game. Amar Knox of Alabama State.
That's their first tournament win in the history of the program.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
Yeah, so cool.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
And now they have the opportunity to go get annihilated
by Auburn, So that's fun.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
It did highlight something that too, is when you can
because of the first half Saint Francis was shooting lights
out from three. You can get caught by a team
that and obviously Saint Francis. I believe what they had
to win to get in, not this particular one, but
they won their tournament.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
To qualify, as that how they got in, I believe.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
So yeah, I mean there were sixteen and eighteen on
the year, so I'm pretty sure that's how they qualified.
But they had a hot shooting first half from the
three point line, and then at that point you're like, Okay,
this could up to any team, like where all you
go in you face someone who's started to shoot lights
out and then they hopefully can cool off and you

(03:36):
can kind of find your rhythm. But they stayed in there.
They kept kind of hanging around Alabama State then and
eventually we're it pulled out in the second half the
final moments. But uh, this that's the story for anyone, Like,
it's the one of the reasons why this bracket, this
tournament is the hardest playoff to win a championship because

(03:58):
you can have a bad you can have a bad night,
bad day, and that's it. And there's no home field,
home court advantage, there's none of that. So I think
this is the hardest tournament format to determine the national champion.
That's that's how we do this for college basketball, and
it's it's probably not the.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
Fairest way to go about doing it if we really
want to break it down.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
No, hell no, it's not fair. There's at least in
college football you get home games. You get nothing. Well,
it's kind of listen, you're you're in the vicinity of
your home. Okay, well it's not really and it's a
place we're not familiar playing, et cetera, et cetera. And
so that's why you get these, you know, lower seated
teams that can come out and bite you in the ass.
But it was good to see North Carolina get it done.

(04:41):
Because at North Carolina lost, I was going to try
and avoid social media for as long as humanly possible.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Why I'm tired of hear I'm tired.

Speaker 5 (04:49):
Of these people.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
People would have made the claim that well, Worst Virginia
should have been in, it should have been North Carolina
shouldn't have been there, which I will say this too.
It wasn't just a either direction. Okay, just because North
Carolina blow them out doesn't mean that West Virginia would
have done the same thing.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
So it's just that for it, Like I just can
we enjoy the tournament? Like do people just have to?
It's just complain? Complain, complain, Like who didn't get in? Okay,
what about the teams that did? Can we just enjoy
the tournament? Fill out your bracket and shut the hell off.
That's it?

Speaker 3 (05:23):
He knows how I haven't said very much about this topic.
Do you care how much do you care about this topic.
I'm here at three oh six a m. So, I mean,
I care to talk about sports topics, but this just
doesn't happen to be at the top of the list,
That's all I mean.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
So let me just let me just get this straight.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
I mean, you played basketball when you're yacht right as
my first sport.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
I assumed you dominated by the way.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
I mean, I could have went to Villan, Nova, Georgetown,
North Carolina. Who else I got?

Speaker 5 (05:57):
I got?

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, I was getting recruited Plate Cincinnati and Bobby Huggins.
Yeah that's my guy. Bobby Huggins, love me, Bobby Huggins,
touching the way he loved me.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
Yeah, get a brief chase or something.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
The Memphis Memphis boy. And now that I think about it,
I don't know why I didn't take Memphis up on
what was going on.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
With the I got game, you got game, she got game?
That did that scene play itself out there for you?

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Memphis? I never went though, I never went for a
Visit never went. So it's not like I had you
know that Jesus Shuttles were yeh.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah, Well, I understand you're not as enthusiastic about it.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
But no, that's I'm with you. I mean, I'm I'm
I'm very supportive of of how you guys feel about it.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
I'm glad.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
I mean, I had a buddy tell me the other day,
you twenty three and meter would tell you that you
should be really excited about this.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
That's in I can't. We got a trainer, she's trainingst Okay,
there we go. All right, Okay, all right, because I
was about to say, I mean, that's as bad as
it gets right there. You're a black man. You're supposed
to love basketball. That's gotta be racist. Yes, dude, like basketball.

(07:21):
I just wanted to get a little bit more into
the tournament.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
Okay, a little bit.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
More into lavarn. If you have to fill out our brackets,
I'm gonna fill it out today.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
Are you serious? Fill No?

Speaker 1 (07:32):
People can wait, because this is what happens. Brady's been
running this song and dance for years now. He waits
until I fill out.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Mine, and then he goes in there and he steals.
He steals. Upset.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
That's the dumbest thing and the biggest lie you've ever said,
because I am so fearful of doing what you did
a few years ago, where you talk all this trash
and then you go and you don't fill out the
bracket like a moron.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Did not fill out the brain. That was a Wi
Fi glitch.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
It was. It was a glitch, and it's a glitch
and the wife glitch able to.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Fill this out and give it to you, Lee, right, yeah,
because I don't do that. I don't do that for
that last year. I don't do this whole you know,
technology stuff.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
I'm not, by the way, I'm not Scotch shapiros the
last two or three years because I've aired out the
site that we used and I'm not doing it this year.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
All right, thank you Tractor Supply.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
I appreciate it, but I am I'm sometimes fearful that
it's not input in.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
But mine's already submitted. I did it yesterday.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
So Jonahs eat that, sit your ass down, stop making
up lies, you buffoon. After I bet Jesus just went
ahead and gave us a terrible bet to start off
March madness.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
That's an unfortunate way to start out the basement, Jesus.
But uh yeah, look, people want to know who's Jonah's got.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Like that's that's the question.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
That's the question, And it happens every single year, and
I'm tired of handing that stuff out weigh in advance
and people stealing my picks and I'm on the short
end because it's like, all right, now, I'm gonna end
up with a tie and then it's a tiebreaker score
and what no, you can wait, people can wait.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
And I'm not.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Even gonna tell anybody when I fill it out. It's
going to be filled out, and I'm going to win
because I have a simple strategy that I've used every
year since I was a kid.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Oh, which is what picked the highs rated? What is it?
I picked Duke every year, every single year.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
And see, this is how I know he's already looked
in mind. This is how I know because I can
tell you what my finals is. I believe I had
Florida playing against Duke and Duke winning.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
See that's where I'm gonna have to separate myself.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
Yeah, so now you're gonna see Now since mine is
already input, you can go in and see it. I'm
Fox Sports Radio, I mean the Dan Patrick Show. Everywhere
it's out there. And meanwhile, yours is supposedly in your
back pocket because you're fearful of other people picking what
is the number one seed in the tournament?

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Well, it's like giving away the good stuff, you know,
it's like no comedians like, no comedian like ask Shane
Gillis like, is he going to give out his best material?

Speaker 5 (10:11):
I think you're more like Dane Cook, is what you're
more like.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Is Shane gill Is going to give out his best
stuff at the giggle House? Or is he gonna wait
until Madison Square Garden.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
I'm just saying it feels like you're more of the
you know, Dane Cook of this whole thing.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Why did he Uh well, he's not known for a
stealing stuff, is he?

Speaker 3 (10:31):
I don't believe that.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, I don't believe so maybe possibly listen, thiefs are everywhere,
you know at the time. By the way, Game two
of the Major League Baseball season is underway.

Speaker 5 (10:45):
Oh and.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
He's sitting down pop fly you know warning track power
for show.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
Hey, uh, maybe we get a live bad Jesus background.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
To see I sure hope not. Why what's your problem
with I bed Jesus? He never get it's a right?
What do you mean he got last year's opener?

Speaker 6 (11:02):
Right?

Speaker 7 (11:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (11:03):
He had the Padres winning I don't recall one.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
Yeah, no one remembers that. We don't remember yesterday loser.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Didn't he win yesterday? I think he had Cubs plus
three and a half was the pick? Lee wasn't the
Cubs plus three and a half. I think it was
plus two and a half.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Well, he was winning until like the eighth, for what
it's worth. So it's what it is.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
It's a good man. Well here are two pros and
bet Jesus sucks.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
He's not saving anybody.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
You know.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
I love about this, LeVar As, You're finally like realizing this.
I did deal with this for years before we all
three got together, and I'm like and like, and Lee's
been here long enough too, where he was like it'd
be like the bottom of the ninth and Jonas would
place a live bet and still look, No, it got
so bad.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
He was doing that just to say he won.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Dang, it's just like, these are reckless attacks, these are lies,
and then they're not corroborate your story. You've got Lee
who misremembers this stuff. Always picking underdogs, always ballsy picks,
whether it was Sunday night football, whether it was tennis
in Dubai, always going out on a limb, and by

(12:15):
and large, I would say, Lee, live bet Jesus is
win percentage like in the seventies, seventy to eighty percent?

Speaker 5 (12:21):
Two percent? Actually, yeah, closer to twenty.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Lee just said, yeah, just disagree, Yeah, smiling Lee honestly
twenty percent.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, much closer to twenty percent. I said, no, we're
close to seventy.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Oh all right, okay, Well, if we're going to be
a start off the show negative like this, I mean, this.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Is I'm not being negative. I'm just listening to you guys,
you know.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
I mean, here's the thing is, Lee has your back
to in most circumstances. You even irritated Lee with this,
it was so bad. And then you here's the other
thing he would do. Obviously, the WiFi sometimes will be
spotting the studio. He would not refresh his page to
update the live bet. So he'd wait till like someone
had a double and there's like a run in scoring position,
and then he'd go ahead and read the old eyes

(13:03):
instead of what the new updated life.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Wait, hold on a second, Yeah, like, how is that
his fault?

Speaker 4 (13:09):
We've no, no, no, It's not Lee's fault. Lee would witness
all of this. Yeah, live bed Jesus is flipping loser.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
I'm talking about live Ben Jesus like he's peaking through
the clouds from the sports book in the sky. He
happened to see a betting line that hadn't been refreshed
in like ninety minutes, and he went with what he
went with, like things changed. It was just how long
the paper took the Yeah, it's not his fault. You know,
air travel delays, things like that happened.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
I mean you're the only one that talks to him.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Well, if you both think, damn, take us to break
because this stinks.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Coming up next here, by the way, a reminder, we
are going to have the usuals. The old p Petros
Papadakis will be here midweek awards. We're else going to
have in case you missed it, Lee's leftovers.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
All of it is.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yours here as we take you all the way up
until nine am Eastern time. Six o'clock was up next
here though from the Tirack dot Com studios. Somebody's fed up.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with
you here. Coming up a little over twenty minutes from
now in another edition of In Case you missed it,
We've got an update for you, a an update on
a celebrity who had a little bit of an issue recently.
That'll be yours here on Fox Sports Radio. We also
have a little bit of an update on the Aaron
Rodgers situation. The update is there's no update. We have

(15:06):
no idea what the hell he's going to be doing.
We have no idea who he's going to be signing with.
All that we know is that people are waiting around
going Can somebody make a call here? Can somebody figure
out what Rogers' plan is moving forward for this upcoming season.
Steelers defensive tackle Cam Hayward was on his Not Just
Football podcast and was asked about the Rogers waiting game

(15:29):
and had this to say, I.

Speaker 7 (15:30):
Want to play football. I'm tired of talking about the
quarterback situation. I'd rather have it done. I don't know
what ends up happening. Like I'm ready to move on
on the free agency. It's too much going on.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
So if they called you him, were like, we need
you to follow him into the.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Darkness for a couple of days, he says, if you
come down there with him, he's signing.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
Are you going to be off the grid for a little.

Speaker 6 (15:54):
Bit, go to the darkness and try to get this guy.

Speaker 7 (15:56):
I ain't doing that darkness darkness treat retreat. I don't
mean any of that crap, Like either you want to
be a Pittsburgh Steeler or you don't. That's that's simple.
That's the pitch, Like if you want me to recruit,
that's the recruiting pitch. You know, Pittsburgh Steelers. If you
want to be part of it, so be it. If
you don't. No, no skin on my back.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
All right, So Cam Heyward of the Pittsburgh Steelers on
the Aaron Rodgers waiting Game.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
No, it sounds like my Backang, it sounds like a
defensive player who has been a part of the defense
that's carried this team for the past so many years.
That's what that sounds like like. They they know the
identity of Pittsburgh as their defense has been, always will be.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
That's just that's just their their identity.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
As far as in the NFL, when you played them,
you knew we were gonna get physical game. It's gonna
be tough for you offensive because of that defense. That's
just that's just what it's always been and it's and
I don't think it's ever gonna change. My onley questions,
do you think that sound bits different if we're talking
about Rogers coming off MVP seasons, which you know, again

(17:06):
a complete hypothetical. I realized it's ridiculous to ask in
a way, but I do wonder how much of this
is attributed to where Rogers's at now in his career
versus what it would have been like had it been
when he first left Green Bay and it wasn't He
wasn't that far.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
Removed from some MVP seasons. I think that plays a
large part in it. You know, what does he have left?
They just went through a season of the same exact thing,
like what does Russell Wilson have left, they might have
to do it again. What does Russell Wilson have left?
Who's going to be your quarterback? I'm sure Cam Heyward

(17:44):
sitting there, like, can't we just know who our quarterback
is going to be so we can move on, Like
you said, let's just get to let's get to football,
you know, let's get to free agency or whatever, you know,
continuing the free agency, let's get to the draft. If
Aaron Rodgers is at the top of his game, no,
that's not the way he responds. In fact, it's almost like,

(18:05):
to me an indictment the way I heard him, it's
like an indictment, like all right, come on already, Like, dude,
isn't even that, Like he ain't all that, Like you
want to be a part of it or you don't,
and if you don't, that's no skin off my back,
like we could care less, Like, so let's just get
get a decision, like, No, I'm not following him into

(18:25):
the darkness. I don't do that stuff, Like he's not
he's not he's not enamored by the idea of Aaron Rodgers.
I mean, I think that comes across pretty clearly in
his voice. So I listen, you you get guys like that,
and he's a vet vet like, that's a respectable dude, right,

(18:46):
And and he's a leader like the guy leads by example.
He's always led by example. And you had them feeling
that way. And that's your prospect team, one of your teams.
I hear that sound by it if I'm Aaron Rodgers,
like I'm checking them off the list, like, uh, well
there's one, not Boom, New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings. I

(19:09):
hope I get this Minnesota Vikings situation. Maybe you ask
for less money. I don't know what gets it done.
I don't know what's making it drag out so long. Again.
I think I think it is Minnesota that's dragging it out.
I don't think it's Aaron Rodgers. I think it's Minnesota. Now.

(19:30):
I don't have inside connects like well, I don't use
them at least like you know, Q, you got people
talking to you. Maybe you have a different you know,
bit of information. I don't know. But from my perspective,
without having anything, you know, any contacts or talking to anybody,
I think this is dragging out because he wants this
team and they don't know if they want to do

(19:53):
it or not, and that's it's to me. I don't
think it's profound. I just think it's that simple. New
York Giants, it's done today, Pittsburgh Steelers, it's done today.
Minnesota Vikings, we don't know if we want to make
this decision with Aaron Rodgers, and so it's not done.
It's it's not a foregone conclusion that, oh, it's Aaron

(20:16):
Rodgers first ballot Hall of Famer, la la lad one MVPs.
It is we're we we we should be lucky that
he wants to come play for us. I don't think
that that is the sentiment in Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
On the Cam Hayward front, Like, I don't know that
it was so much he was he's fed up with
the Rogers stuff as he is, dude, what are we doing?
Like and maybe yeah, coming off the MVP stuff, you
know if this is Rogers back then, Rogers you know,
three four years ago. Yeah, you know, he's probably a
little bit more patient and being like, hey, it's worth

(20:51):
the wait. Maybe he looks at it and it says
there's not that much of a difference between him and
Russell Wilson. But for the Steelers, like Rogers has got
more options than they do, Like they need Rogers, I
think way more than he needs them. Because if Minola's yeah,
one hundred percent, If Minnesota is there, Rogers can, Rogers
will be playing next year. So whether it's Minnesota, whether

(21:14):
it's the Giants, whether you know, who knows Tennessee wants
to bring him in, Like he's got options. Pittsburgh's already
burned the bridge with Russell Wilson. They screwed up the
Justin Fields negotiation reportedly because they lowballed him. So what's
their plan? Mason Rudolph like waiting for wait for a
quarterback to slide in the draft trade for Kirk Cousins,
Like it feels like Rogers in a better spot than

(21:36):
they are. So I don't know, And I think he's
waiting on Minnesota because that's the better opportunity. Brady, actually,
I think made the most plausible sense yesterday when you
were pointing out maybe this is about him and Kevin O'Connell,
just seeing what, like, how would this work if that's
if that's really what this is about and.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Rogers it takes this long to figure that out. I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
I don't think money there's There's a number of things
that go involved in all this. I mean, I think
we'd admit to like Cleveland needs a quarterback, do they not?
And and one of the things that you're weighing at
this point is, you know, you're trying to figure out
information too with the draft, like that plays a role
in all of this. Maybe not so much for Minnesota,
but you look at a team like Cleveland, for example,

(22:22):
they pick at number two. So if they want schedu
or if they want Jackson Dart, I mean, they're gonna
be there. You know, I think it's it feels like
it's almost I don't know a foregone conclusion, but I
think cam Ward's gonna be first quarterback taken. But anyway,
the point is this, you know, some of these coaches
feels pretty confident about their ability to be able to
win with with almost any quarterback in their system. I mean,

(22:44):
think about as Kevin Stefanski, for example, did they win
the eleven games when he had case keen of my
quarterback when he was a quarterback coach and helping call
plays in Minnesota. Yeah, then you had Kirk Cousins who
won ten went to a playoff. You know, then you
come in and you have Joe Flacco more recently. I
mean you start to look at what he's been able
to do with a lot of those quarterbacks that you know,

(23:08):
pocket passing type quarterbacks, et cetera, and it's like, well,
I feel like I can kind of put in a
system to help play their strengths and win with a
lot of these guys, right, I mean, the only one
that hasn't been able to work with was Deshaun Watson.
But but again I've have said forever, it's just it
wasn't a great scheme fit for what Watson wants to
do and what he excels at doing, So forget all
the other stuff, like, it's just it wasn't gonna work.

(23:29):
But I think they're another team in a situation where
they brought in Russell and I'm not even sure if
they'd talk to Rogers. I'm sure they might have been
interested if they're looking for a veteran, but they might
have been looking at it saying we might, you know,
kind of wait this thing out or see where things drag.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Out to the draft.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
You know, as far as Rogers goes, you know, there
could be a component that is from a contract standpoint,
you know, you have a lot of things up in
the air right now, Like Kirk Cousins now is under
contract with Atlanta. That could change, but it's gonna change

(24:07):
via trade. They're not going to pay him ten million
then cut them at least I don't think they're going
to do that. So that's one potential thing that's up
there in the air that one of those teams that
has a need could fill their void with that situation.
You have cam Ward, you have shad Or Sanders, you
have Jackson Dart. You know, right there are four quarterbacks
that could potentially fill some of these voids we're talking about.

(24:30):
So when you ask what's taking so long, it could
be a combination of things. It could be Rogers and
deciding what he wants to do. It could be the
Vikings and deciding whether or not this can work. You know,
because Kevin O'Connell has been able to make you know,
whether it's Kirk Cousins work, you know, Sam Donald work now,
I feel like he probably feels pretty confident about his

(24:51):
ability to plug in a quarterback and make him work
within a system almost almost regardless of who it is.
It's why they might film Bolden with having Jaj McCarthy
there and saying, yeah, we feel like you could, you know,
plug him in and play and even though it's as
essentially as rookie year, it could work.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
So I just think the timing of it, like, like
what's the rush?

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Right, Like Cam Hayward's tired of hearing about it and
talking about it because to Jonas's point, it's been going
on for years in Pittsburgh. I mean, shoot, even since
big Ben was there, Like there was no secession plan
after big Ben and so it's been going on since
then for him. But on top of it, like it's
a topic of conversation for the media to talk about
because who's your quarterback is a huge question mark in

(25:34):
the NFL if you don't have one throughout the entire offseason,
but up until the draft, where you're gonna get maybe
some more movement at some of those quarterbacks and who's
landing where there really is no clock that's going to
force a team to potentially pay Rogers what he wants
or you know, create this market for Rogers and really,

(25:54):
more so than that, even force them to potentially make
a decision.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Right.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
So I like, because I think about other team whether
it's Pittsburgh, whether it's Cleveland, whether it's Tennessee, like whoever
you want to throw in the conversation, with the exception
of Minnesota is sitting there saying we could probably solve
our issue with drafting one. So and look, I exclude
Minnesota because J. J. McCarthy was their you know, first

(26:19):
round pick last year, so I assume they're not going
to do that again. But like every one of those teams,
you can make that case. So I just I think
it's dragging me on a bit because there's just probably
no rule need to move unless Rogers really wants to move.
And I don't know that he's going to be taking
the best deal that he could possibly get for one
year of his services. Like we're talking about Rogers getting

(26:39):
paid the same as Sam Darnold.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
That's I don't know. It seems like it's been rare
since it's happened in Roger's career. I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Man, he's dominating the headlines on where he's going to go,
and he's he's got enough of a body of work.
I mean, he has more than enough of a body
of work for it it to be a big deal.
I just I'm kind of I kind of fall on
the cam Heyward side of it, and I kind of
fall on it, I guess as a defensive player, like,

(27:11):
if you want to be here, show you want to
be here, you don't want to If you don't want
to come here and be a Steeler, don't be a Steeler.
If you want to go to New York, go to
New York. Figure it out. Go to New York for
what is worth.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Russell Wilson has publicly said he would love to be
back in Pittsburgh. That was you know what, other what
what other options does he have? I mean, somebody wants it.
Don't be mister obvious, because it's clearly obvious.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
They don't want you. They do not want you. And
and listen if this market, let me ask you this
cute because I'm curious on your your your thoughts on this.
We talked about how how a market was created for
Matthew Stafford and he wasn't even a free agent, like
he created a market for him, and it paid dividends

(28:02):
because the Rams came back and they stepped up and
they paid him money. I almost feel like, in a
different manner, this is created a market for for Aaron Rodgers,
Like is this is there any sense or any feasibility
to the fact that he's like, some way, somehow his camp.

(28:25):
I don't know who's responsible for it, but they've created
they have manufactured a market for Aaron Rodgers, and it
sounds like it's a three team competition that's being created here.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
I first would say, like the second the Rams gave
Matt Stafford the opportunity to seek a trade, which they did,
that opened it up to then allow other teams to
talk to him about what it would look like trading
for him. Because once you allow a guy like that
to be able to go say, well, who else is
interested in me? And then what would you be willing
to pay me? Because they all know he wants to

(29:00):
be traded forward and then he wants to sign a
new deal. That's really what created the market, Like the
Rams actually created the market for Matt Stafford, and they
were comfortable with their relationship with them, and they were
comfortable they'd be able to match whatever offers someone else made.
But they wanted to make sure that Matt Stafford felt
comfortable with what his worth was.

Speaker 5 (29:20):
So that was more of.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
A negotiation tactic that you have to have pretty darn
good intel and insight if you're the team that's holding
those cards to be able to let a guy just
go out there because you don't know if you're going
to be getting back. You know, in the case of Rogers,
it's a little different because you know, he's obviously got
his saying whatever he wants to do. If you wanted
to take less money to go to a certain spot,

(29:43):
he could do that, And maybe that's potentially what's on
his mind is maybe they're not all offering the same
amount of money for his services, so there could be
some hesitation from his part on that. You know, they're
also again, I keep going back to the fact that
this is his last up. There's no other stop after this,

(30:04):
and you know, somebody, I think there was a report
that said he was contemplating either.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
Minnesota or retirement potentially, right.

Speaker 4 (30:11):
That lends you to to kind of believe that he's
looking for a certain situation that he feels like is
one that he can win in. So there's there's a
lot of things I'm sure he's contemplating. And when you're
talking about a guy who's going to be a first
ballot Hall of Famer, and when you're talking about how
he wants to write the final chapter of his career,
I don't think you want to rush it, right, Like,

(30:33):
I don't think you want to rush and make a
decision to go to some place, and then you're getting
through OT's in mini camp like that summertime and you've
got that six week break before you come back for
a training camp. You're going, oh my gosh, what did
I do? Like I'm regretting being a part of all
of this because his last his only experience, his only

(30:54):
experience in doing that was just that, like he goes,
he ends up going to the New York Jets and
it's an absolute dumpster fire. So I'm sure he's learned
from that, and he's looking at this saying like, I
want to try to find out as much information as possible.
I want to try to be as comfortable as possible

(31:15):
making this decision and not feeling like I'm doing it
out of desperation or doing it for chasing other things
and all that, and making sure that I want to
play football and I want to go be able to
play in a place where I can win and have
a shot at getting back to a Super Bowl, to
end my career.

Speaker 5 (31:31):
So I'm sure that's part of all what's going on.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
Meanwhile, everyone else is telling you all these other things
that may or may not matter to you, that helped
persuade you in one direction.

Speaker 3 (31:40):

Brady, Good morning Jonas. Guys.

Speaker 6 (34:11):
In case you missed this, we have an update on
mister Trayling Morgan. Hey Brady, Yes, an update on mister
Tracy Morgan. Of course, we were all very worried about
the comedian after he had puked on Madison Square Garden
Court and had to be wheelchaired off during that Nick's
Heat game over the weekend or over the other day,
and uh well, he's posted a photo of himself on
Instagram with an update thumbs up from a hospital bed,

(34:33):
saying thank you all for your concern. I'm doing okay.
And the doctors say it was food poisoning. Appreciate my
MSG family for taking such good care of me. And
I need to shout out the crew that had to
clean up. Appreciate you more importantly, Nixer now one to
know when I throw up on the court, so maybe
I'll have to break it out again in the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Interesting hospitalized for food poisoning? Huh not really, you're not
still in the bed.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
What's your thumb up? Like, Oh, I got food poisoning.
It's not like a twenty four hour.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Thing something like that.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
You can go to the hospital for that.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
Yeah, nose bleeds, Yeah, that happens. His nose was bleeding.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Yeah, food poisoned. I've had food poisoning. I've had food
poison couldn't stop my nose from bleeding. I don't. I
don't recall my nose bleeding for food poison.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Brady, you ever had food poisoning?

Speaker 4 (35:21):
Food poisoning? I think I have once before in my life.
But uh, yeah, I didn't go to the hospital for it.
Just threw up a little bit and then moved on.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
Bad nosebleed come along with that? Also seems normal.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
I had no nose bleeded not.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
Not me Lee, What do you think was are you
are you trying to say it was bad cocaine.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
Stepped on just sugar dah.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Lee? Uh? Well, if you had to speculate somebody who
has had bouts with food poisoning and some other things, sure,
and possibly nose bleeds. What is the uh what do
you think?

Speaker 3 (35:58):
And when you when you play he said that way,
I mean, when you place the words in that order
in that way.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
What would you say would be the betting favorite on
what was really going on with Tracy Morgan?

Speaker 3 (36:08):
Well, it was a lot of puke.

Speaker 6 (36:10):
I mean he puked a number of times, over and
over and over again. I would give it that, but
the nosebleed puts it more in the category of, I
don't know, something that could be seriously wrong with your stummach,
like some internal bleeding.

Speaker 5 (36:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (36:24):
He's had a lot of health issues. He's has kidney problems,
he's had brain injuries. But uh, I'll take his brain.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
Yeah, I'll take his word for it. But got he
just the appearance of it on the video He was
out of it And I ain't never heard of nobody
being out of it based off of having food poisoning.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
He threw a a lot man, he said, yeah, but
did you see the way he look before he threw up? Though,
I mean it was how much.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
I'm just saying he looked like his head was down
and you looked like he was out of it.

Speaker 5 (36:55):
You people.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
I didn't say you people.

Speaker 5 (36:57):
How old is Tracy Morgan.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
He's got it in his fifties, he's got to be
so yeah, he's got to be in his fifties.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
Lee, how old? Uh, he's fifty six.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Yeah, I mean barely in his fifties. But then again,
I'm barely in my forties.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
If barely, if you're on the other side of if
you got a round up, yes, once you get to five,
you got to round up. So if you have fifty six.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
You know.

Speaker 4 (37:23):
Like my questions more of like he didn't really look
to move very fast to go find it.

Speaker 5 (37:28):
Yeah, trash bucket nothing.

Speaker 6 (37:30):
He couldn't he couldn't. He couldn't stand up either. That's
why they brought out the wheelchair for him.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
But that's what I'm saying. He was like hunched over,
like l food poisoning. Yeah, I've never really seen you
like look like you jacked up that way with food.
It was Saint Patty's dad. I mean, I would just
chuck that up to you.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Know, I just thought you drank too much, a few
too many car bombs.

Speaker 7 (37:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Yeah, I thought that.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Dogfish I pas, yeah, yeah, that ninety minute brand that
didn't look like bear, that that looked like hard alcohol.
Look like the beer you smell? Eh? Dang, is that
they have beer like that?

Speaker 7 (38:07):
Lee?

Speaker 5 (38:08):
Do you have anything else? Sure?

Speaker 6 (38:09):
In fact, in case you missed this, and how could
you have missed this? This was back in twenty twenty twelve,
twenty twelve. I don't know why the story resurfaced, but
maybe you can help me with the pronunciation of this, Brady.
Because there's a private golf club out in Miami called
Gorse Country Club. Apparently cost one million dollars to join
the Gorse lagorse La Course, Thank you.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (38:30):
Michael Jordan's story came out that he was banned from
the club because he refused to change.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
Out of his cargo pants on the twelfth hole. They
asked him to change, he refused twelth on the twelfth hole.

Speaker 6 (38:41):
Yes, spokesman confirmed I had banned from that golf course.

Speaker 5 (38:47):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (38:49):
I mean, look, here's all I say is he knows
better than anyone because he you know, Grove twenty three
is his course, which, by the way, for I've never been.
From all encounters, it's a great hand, great spot. But
there are certain really strict dress codes at different places,
and you know, whether you're a member or a guest,

(39:11):
like you kind of got to abide by and you know,
adhere to that stuff. You know, if I wonder if
it was Augusta, if you would have right, Like, you know,
you got to wear a jacket on your way in
and out of that and I remember I had to
wear long pants just to walk to the fitness center
to then change to put on shorts to work out

(39:32):
when I was there, And that's just the rule.

Speaker 5 (39:35):
So you abide by it.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
So I don't know, Look, I don't have a problem
the course doing that. It's not that hard just to
put on a different pair of shorts. I'm sure you'd
have bought some of the pro shop I see.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
I disagree. I think it's disrespectful to Michael Jordan. That
wouldn't fly at Tartan Fields. I'll tell you that right now.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
Well, the Cargo shorts actually might, so he wouldn't have
had to change at all.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
I know people over there, he can get it. Stay
away from that one. No, I don't know. Twelve hole,
twelve way to go, Jonas where to go?

Speaker 7 (40:04):
Man?

Speaker 3 (40:06):
Yeah, I mean if you hit him, like, hey, sir,
before you get started on the first hole, he would
you mind? Would you mind changing your pants?

Speaker 7 (40:14):
Like?

Speaker 3 (40:14):
I get it, But Michael Jordan's you've gone. You've gone
eleven holes before we decided, you know what. We do
not like this for our drifts go. I just I'm
gonna stay away from it.
