Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Jonas Knox for you here, No Brady Quinn,
he'll be back on the show tomorrow, man, but stix now,

(01:01):
over ten thousand recommended installers tiraq dot com, The Way
tire Buying should be.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I did want to ask you this, though, what'd you
want to ask?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
So this was sort of an angle to this whole
thing that I thought was kind of interesting. We were
talking about the cam Ward discussion. The odds would say
cam Ward is going to go number one overall to
the Tennessee Titans. He had his pro day yesterday, and
it was mentioned, according to NFL reporter Paul Kaharski, that
the Titans and other members of the organization had dinner
(01:33):
with cam Ward over the weekend ahead of his pro day. Right, So,
what would have to happen at a dinner for you
to be like out, can't can't do this, guy, can't
do this? Like what what happens at a dinner where
you're like, f this, that's disgusting or that's out of line,
(01:55):
or I got to distance myself from that guy because
of the way he behaved at dinner. Is there a
certain think.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
That that's a it's a long shot for somebody to
be that repulsive or you know, turn somebody off that
much at a at a dinner where you're clearly wanting
to get to know the prospect better and the prospect
(02:22):
has the opportunity to to show that you know, they
can they can bring a value. I mean, what uh
be be? You know, do lude acts to the person
serving your table, you know, slap them on ass or
something like that, or you know, like spit your spit
(02:45):
your bones on the floor. And even then I don't
even know that that's bad enough.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
By the way, could you imagine if like cam Ward's like, man,
I don't want to go to the Titans. He's at
dinner and he just decides he's gonna grab some guy's
ass when he walks by some bus boys.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
They might get I mean, they might get pumped up, like, oh,
he's encouraging the bus boy, you know, like, hey, good plate,
like wait to grab that plate? Like, don't I don't know.
I think you would have to be over the top,
just it would have to be bad.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Jonah, right, So what about you?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Like what would be a all right?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
This is not because I was thinking about it. I
think what would like if I had like a plate
of fries, Yeah, and somebody just reached over and put
their hand in my plate of fries and pulled out
some fries and started eating it without even asking.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
That would bother me off a.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Plate or a uh you know, a la carte type
of a family style, no bowl of fries even though
they're your fries.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Off my pluff. You're like, if if it's obvious that
these are my fries, like you could say, hey, can
I have a fry? No problem here. But if they
just reached over and put there, and there's something about
putting the whole sweaty, dirty growth.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Why would you have a sweaty, dirty hand out to
dinner at a nice place to eat? I mean, are
they at a burger shack? Like did they just leave
the you know, the workout? Because if that's the case,
then you know people share things like that at burger
shacks and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
It's meant to share your fries.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, but I'm talking about like sweaty, warm, disgusting, filthy hands.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Why would y'all Why would y'all be out eating if
that's how sweaty and filthy he was? Wow, I'm playing
that way. I hate to be judging you hypothetically. I
need to be judging you the organization for even not
allowing me to have the opportunity to clean myself up
because it's a it's a business and it's a job interview.
(04:45):
Why would you not give me the proper opportunity to
clean myself up?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
There's a bathroom right over there, go wash your hands.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Oh, come on, man, slob, come on man. Oh, I'm
just entertaining you.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
But you know you have all you of all people,
if I wash my hands, I know, but if somebody,
if somebody's got a sweaty palm, you know that bothers me.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I don't like that at all. I'm not going to judge.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
But I'm not going to judge them because they have
a moisture saturated hand. I'm just I just you know,
I just don't like shaking sweaty palm hand.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Okay, Now now let me ask you. All right, so,
because we can go down the road of grooming and
like you know, body odor and things like that, but
is there a is there something that they could eat
in front of you that you would be like, I'm out,
Like I can't be a part of this.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
No, because I'm not judging them based off of that.
I'm judging them based off of what they bring to
our team. Can can we win games with this guy
on our team? Now, you are going to take into
consideration characteristic traits, how they speak to people, how they
(06:09):
treat things, because that's ultimately going back to how they
process things and how they execute things. That translates to
the field. So you're gonna look at how he's speaking
and how he's doing things. And we heard cam Ward's interview.
We did a SoundBite in the first segment. He's well spoken,
(06:30):
he's well spoken, he's thoughtful, and that's not cam Ward's
not going to mess up his opportunity to get drafted
off of a team.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Dinner, Lee, what were your you said, ketch up?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Now, Lee could come up, Lee could probably give you
some good stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Well, I can think of a few things that you
could do at a dinner to screw it all up
for what you've done well that anyone could do, but
not that.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Necessarily not, but that you've done well.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Here's one.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
I would never have put my staking ketchup.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
But if all of a sudden, you know, his quarterback
prospects putting just putting, just dousing his steak and ketchup,
that'd be a red flag right there.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Okay, but what if the steak sucks, well, then put
some some.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I don't care if it's a five star restaurant with
extra credit. If that man wants to put ketch up
on his steak, what like that's you're gonna You're saying
that's a rip? Why is that a red flag?
Speaker 6 (07:26):
You know, I think he's got some character issues.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
What if all of a sudden, you know, we're worried
about his weight and he's putting down just breadstick after breadstick,
can't control himself.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, but if he's you know, finishing a fast, you
know he can get away with that.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
How about how he handles his booze.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Maybe he's ordering a little too much, maybe uh, and
maybe that steak goes through him a little too quick.
Maybe he's just letting him rip left and right at
the at the dinner table.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It feels like you're talking about yourself projecting.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
I'm I don't know if you could ruin it or not.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
That is that if if a guy is so irresponsible
that he's actually going to have beverages with alcohol in them,
then nature played its course. I would never I would
never drink with somebody that I'm job interviewing with.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I wouldn't get a drink at all.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
So so the thing about it is, though, that's still
is not that's still not like that's a red flag.
If he gets a glass of red wine or something. Sure,
if the dude gets drunk like straight faded at the
table and he's out with the team. Of course, that's
I mean, we could throw out the most egregious stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Go ahead, Josh, I got one. All right, Now I'm
gonna paint the picture for you.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Oh god, all right. You're sitting at dinner, things are
going well, and a white woman comes up and sits with.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Yeah, red flash, Now you're not taking this guy?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Well, you know what way to make it unrealistic to
the show, But so imagine this. You're having an interview.
You're sitting there at the table. You know things are
going well, you know, dinner's about to wrap up, and
all of a sudden you notice that this prospect is
(09:23):
looking around for something.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
He's looking around you can't find.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Hell, he sees eight can I grab that, reaches over,
takes the straw out of your water, folds the tip
of the straw, and starts picking out a giant chunk
of food from his teeth in front of you while
talking with yes, and then flicks it to where you
(09:46):
can see the food projectile a La kingpin into the
bathroom mirror and land on the table, and then continue
the conversation as if nothing happened. You LeVar Arrington, who
have a weak stomach, you tell me.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I would gag, But that wouldn't be enough for me.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I just would never go out to eat with them.
I would gag. That would gag.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
If it hit me, if the if the food particle
hit yeah, I might, it might come out.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I might.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I might vomit right there.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Do you imagine that, like it just just like a
like a two centimeter wide piece of ribbie just hits
you right in the cheek.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
That that would be revolting.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I trade out of the pick. I literally would trade.
I'd call somebody and say, I don't care what you got,
send me a bag of footballs and uh and and
a and a pack of rolled golds and take the pick.
I don't care. I would trade out of the pick immediately.
Other than that he's gonna go.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I think it'd takes some very very I would give
me some very extreme things that would have to take
place for a dinner with a prospect to turn off.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
By the way, nothing makes me laugh more on this
show than when you actually gag when we have conversations
about stuff, because it's legit.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That's not something I play around that's definitely not for fake.
It'd be very hard for a dinner to ruin a
prospects chances. If he's a top, top prospect, he didn't
ruin his chances of going number one. Now he probably
could improve them. He could improve them because if you
if people get smitten with you, then that could probably
(11:45):
make a difference. But it's still I would still say.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
It's kind of it's.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
That's that's just more like formalities of what's taking place
in the process. It's not like, yeah, you're getting to
know them. You get an opportunity to sit down with them.
You could turn them off, or you could turn them
on with how you are. But but it would take
a whole lot to turn them off to wanting to
(12:18):
draft you, if they indeed were high on wanting to
draft you.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Did you have a pre draft dinners with.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Anybody predraft dinner?
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I did so. I did a couple visits. I went
and I visited Cleveland, I visited Washington. I don't recall.
I don't recall all the things I did. I mean,
it's been too long, but I certainly had an opportunity
to sit down with the decision makers. They also had
(12:49):
players like I remember Irving Fryar was in one of
the meetings that you know, I took part of. So
they were measuring and they was gaugey you know who
I was as a person, and you know what my
belief system was.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Am I going to be a problem?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Like they just flat out asked me like are you
going to be a problem to us? And stuff like that,
And I'm like, you know, I don't understand what type
of a question that is. You know, what do you mean?
Am I going to be a problem to you? I
don't what what? What? What about me made you ask
that question? So I kind of felt like, you know,
(13:28):
like you offended me. You know I'm a prospect, but
you kind of offended me. Like I come from a
strong family, a two parent home. My father served our country.
Now he's a a minister, ordained minister in a Christian church.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
We're as we're as solid as it gets.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
As a as an American family, and you're asking me,
am I going to be a problem?
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Like what do you mean?
Speaker 7 (13:59):
Like?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I honor my parents, I get up, I go to work.
I'm not I'm not late for anything. There's there's no
there's no history of me doing things that I get
in trouble or anything. So I don't understand what you
mean by asking me. Am I going to be a
problem to you?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
You know? So when people.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Say certain things, I feel like, you know, it could
go one way or the other, and it could be
handled in certain ways. I'm not like this militant dude,
right Like, it could have easily been a racial thing.
You know, I could have made I could have made
it a racial thing. They could have made it a
racial thing. And that generally seems to be like the
(14:38):
hot button way of getting things popping is if you
make it, you know, give it racial undertones, like like
what you think I'm a gangbanger? You know, like like
what what? What exactly?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
What are you getting at? What are you hinting at
by asking me these questions? But I think if you
just you handle yourself a way that you're who you are,
you'd be true to who you are.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
You know. I didn't.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I didn't go into any of those those meetings that
I had with any of those coaches and act as
though I was like on my best behavior. Because I
was there, I was just who I was, Because I
felt like me being who I was is the reason
why I'm here in the first place.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
So why am I going to be somebody different? Now?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
So I go I'm supposed to come walk in. Hey, everybody,
how are you doing? Is everything okay?
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Great?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I'm so happy to be here, Like, that's not how
I am. Wait, say, is that your white voice?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
That's just my like cornball voice.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I don't think it connected to It is just I'm
being a cornball and I don't think being that's If
being a cornball is your deal, then be a I'm
just I just didn't happen to be one. I don't
happen to be a cornball. That wasn't my approach. So
if the way I was turned you off to me
as a person, I mean, I'm not for everybody, right,
(15:59):
I was say that about anybody. You're not for everybody.
Plus I play football, Like I'm interviewing you for a
job to play football, Like, what exactly are you looking for?
How difficult is this this business meeting going to be?
I gave you all my like you have all my film,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Like, what is this?
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Like?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
What am I going to do to really really mess
this up? Could you could mess it up? You could
I'm not saying you can't mess it up, but I
think it's more so you can more solidify much more
than it just being something that you mess up. Like
you could come in and your clothes could be all
like ratty or something like that. They're not going to
(16:42):
judge you off of how you're dressed. It's like, oh,
he just doesn't have much or you know, whatever their
conclusion may be.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
It'll take a lot for.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
You to turn off a franchise, you know, in those moments,
because they're already.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Very high on you.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
The first time I met my wife's family, so we
had we've been dating for a little not too long,
and she just said, you know, hey, do you want
to meet you know, my family? Well, yeah, what's going on?
She's like, Oh, we're having a King Signetta for my cousin.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I didn't know anything about those until I moved to California.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
And I was like, okay, so which is for you know.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
But not not Ken Signeiras.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, I mean it's every week, especially right now is
Kin Signetta season. It feels like so basically what it
is is, you know, fifteen year old's birthday and it's
a big celebration like a huge, huge celebration, and so
I said sure, And back in my mind, I'm thinking
they're probably thinking of themselves. There's no way that this
(17:42):
white guy is going to walk into that room and
not be intimidated. And I literally just walked in there,
like fitt, what do I get to lose? Get in there,
meet everybody, don't remember anybody's name. There's forty eight hundred cousins.
I was about to say, just like, you're meeting so
(18:07):
many people, and it's in giant room, a giant ballroom
that had overflow seating because there were so many people there.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
And so at one point I get up to use
the bat.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Guarantee you you could have took a guess and you
would have been you might have hit at some point,
you might have hit, but go ahead.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Good. See.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
So I get up at one point to use the bathroom,
and I as I walk into the bathroom, the mariachi
are at the urinal and one of the mariachi members
right as I walk in the bathroom pants, No, he
pants is the other guy. So my first meeting with
my wife's family was seeing some mariachi guys ass while
(18:48):
he's standing in front of the urinal cake and his
buddy turns around and goes, oh, so Sadi so Sai.
I said, hey, no problem, just the door.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
It's like, no problem. I came back and it was
just pants.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I told her. I came back and told my my wife.
You know a girl I was dating at the time, like, hey,
uh Marriochi's getting after it. She goes, what do you
mean and she was MORTI fied like that, Oh my god,
there's no like, he's not going to come back for more.
And at that point I just realized, well, that's how
it is. I'm gonna fit right in. And so we
were off and running, but nothing happened for them to
(19:27):
scare away or be scared away from taking me number
one overall in the draft.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
You should always put your best foot forward. I'm not
saying don't put your best foot forward. It's a job interview.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I don't, so I don't want people to interpret what
I'm saying is you do what you want to do
and you're going to get rewarded for it.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
That's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
You asked me to question what could a person do
to take themselves out of being in consideration for the
fact yeah. I mean, you could show tendencies of a killer.
You could show tendency of a deviant, you know, you
name it, fill in the blank. You could say and
(20:10):
do things that go so far against the grain of
what a normal, logical, sensible person would say or do,
and it could be a tremendous turn off to them,
and that.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Will play a part.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
But will that be the reason why they wouldn't draft you,
I don't know. I don't know that. I don't know. Well,
it's a hard one to answer. I think they already
have an idea who they want to draft. I just
think that they're still continuing to kind of measure out,
you know, and collect information. A lot of this is
collecting information you may have an opportunity to trade for
(20:48):
them or or pick them up as a.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Free agent later on.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
So there's a lot more to it than just if
you're going to take the person with the draft pick
that you have.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
It's two pros and a cup of Joe Here on
Fox Sports Radio of Arrington Jonas Knox with you here
coming up next here, though, we are going to tell
you about a story that just will not go away.
Apparently there was more to a breakup so to speak,
in the NFL than we realize.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
We'll get into that for you here on FSR.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Arrington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming up, we
are going to have an oldie but a goodie. We're
going to dust off another edition of would you rather?
It's been a long time since we've done that. That'll
be yours here again a little over twelve minutes from
now here on FSR, speaking of an oldie bit of goodie.
(21:51):
Who knew this story was still out there? Tom Brady
apparently he's got a weekly newsletter. Why wouldn't you know?
Like he doesn't have enough going on, he's got a
weekly newsletter. And he spoke about his split from the Patriots,
more specifically Bill Belichick and said the following quote. After
(22:13):
twenty years together, a natural tension had developed between where
Coach Belichick and I were headed in our own careers
and where the Patriots were moving as a franchise. It
was the kind of tension that could only be resolved
by some kind of split or one of us reassessing
our priorities. Me and Coach Belichick. We did what we
loved and competed for twenty years together. But I wasn't
(22:34):
going to sign another contract in New England, even if
I wanted to play until I was fifty, based on
how things had gone, I wasn't going to sign up
for more of it.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
End.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Quote from Tom Brady in his newsletter about the split
with Bill Belichick, which I would just say this, I
am shocked that this is still being discussed, that this
is still a storyline in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Well, he will always be asked about it. I mean,
it's the greatest run of a coach and a player
in the history of the NFL, And maybe some would
say in all of sports. Why now? It was the
(23:19):
first thing I thought about, like, what, what?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
What made it?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
What made right now the time to put that in
your your newsletter and push that out there and listen.
I don't think that that comes as some type of
military secret surprise, right. It's not like, oh, you went
into the vaults and went in and grabbed out information
that no one knew. I mean, I think everybody assumed
(23:45):
that the relationship was, you know, kind of going the
direction of what Tom Brady, you know, kind of.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Expressed in his newsletter.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
And those things happen, you know, those things have They
happen in personal relationships at home, they happen in work
relationships in the workplace. I mean, these things happen, and
so there's no reason to take a negative approach to
what he's saying or anything like that. But my whole
(24:18):
thing is, you could have said that while it was
going on, right like why wait until now to say
it like, Okay, it's safe, the coast is clear. What what?
What's the reasoning for now? I almost feel like a
guy like Tom Brady's got so much going on and
there would have to be a reason as to why
(24:40):
he specifically released that in particular, That's what I would say,
is newsworthy, what's the setup? What's it setting setting up for?
Is there is there a documentary coming out? Is there
a book coming is there?
Speaker 4 (24:55):
What? What is it?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
What is connected to that that made it relevant for
Tom Brady to want to release that that statement in
his newsletter.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, it was part of a you know, he's got
different sections. This was called reflection as part of the
section in his newsletter. And just felt like, hey, you know,
maybe i've I'm viewing it from a different lens at
this point in my life, and maybe that's it's better too, And.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
It could be that simple. It really could be that simple,
to be honest.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
It's also look, they were together for twenty years, Like
it's not.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Just celebrated twenty.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
It ain't easy and I'm sure it's been, you know,
just it ain't easy, been simple the entire time.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
That's that's a different type of setup.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
But you know what I mean, that's not Some would
say it is an employer, but I mean, you know
it's not twenty but an employer has been twenty with
the situation.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Like you know, when when Shaq and Kobe broke up,
you know when that was the when the Lakers, you know,
they like one of the big discussions afterwards was, man,
think about how many more they could have won had
they not split, And that was because Shaq went and
won another one, Kobe went and won two more, Like
there was still tread on the tires even though Shaq,
(26:13):
you know, was towards the back end of his career.
At that point, there was still tread on the tires
that you could win more that I understand why there
would always be a discussion this one. Dude, you had
twenty years, like you got it, Like there was a
lot done. You had twenty years. I know Brady went
on and won one in Tampa Bay, but New England
didn't have the roster that Tampa Bay did at that point.
(26:35):
That's just a fact. So I look at it and go,
that's just the natural course of evolution, if you will.
And they got to a point in their relationship where
it was just not tenable anymore, and he went to
a place where he could compete for a super Bowl
again and he did. Sony won. Like it feels pretty
cut and dry to me. I don't know that there's
(26:56):
anything salacious to it, to be honest, I don't.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Think there's I don't feel like there's any new information
that would have surfaced that says, Okay, this is why
Tom Brady left again. I think that we all knew
that the Patriot Way was the Patriot way, and we
tried to figure out was the Patriot way the Bill
Belichick and Tom Brady way or was it the Bill
(27:20):
Belichick way or was it the Tom Brady way. I
would assume whoever you're asking would dictate what that answer
would be. You know, some will say one, some will
say the others, some will say both. I mean, that's
just that's how that relationship unfolded and how it finished.
(27:42):
But make no mistake about it. I mean they had
a brilliant run together. And when you have so much
brilliance connected to what it is that you're doing and
what you've accomplished, that's always going to be the question
if things don't end in that storybook manner. It didn't
end in the storybook matter. It ended, uh in a
(28:03):
way where you know that it was there was contention.
There is that the right word. My brain has kind
of sleep today. Yeah, it was a little contentious, and
and so obviously when you've had that much success and
you see things kind of unraveling the way that they
(28:24):
are between two people that were the main the main figures,
the main characters in what what played out, you know,
during the duration of that time, you're going to have
a whole lot of conversations and you know, for what
it's worth. I mean, I still have reflective moments over
my career. Uh you know, I think that to have
(28:48):
reflection over what you've done and where you've been is natural.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
I think it's necessary.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I think it's responsible, and I think it's pretty cool
that Tom Brady shares it in his newsletter and is
you know, in that certain section. So, but I don't
think it's a military secret, Jonas.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
No, Here's what I do know. Though, there's no one
size fits all mattress.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Well that's true.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
At Mattress Firm, they're sleep experts will match you with
the right one. So upgrade to a premium mattress during

All right, so we have not done this in a
long ass time. Lead to lab.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
What do we got random? Sports or otherwise? That is
indeed the theme today. Well, we've got MLB Opening Day
on Thursday long with the Sweet sixteen tipping off, and
the draft is right around the corner. Would you rather
attend MLB Opening Day of your favorite team sweet sixteen
or the draft in green.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Bay Sweet sixteen.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Ooh, I did the other two. I do the draft.
I haven't been to Green Bay, and I would say
that feels like a fun event. And also Opening Day
just you know, there's a lot of games, doesn't have
to be Opening Day, but I would say the draft
(31:40):
probably be my pick.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
There's a little bit of something in the air on
MLB Opening Day though, but I agree with you drafting
green Bay.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Sweets exactly pretty what's in the air?
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, oh, just the vibe, you know, oh, booze and food.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Yeah, I've done it. I've done Opening Day for the
Nationals before. It's exciting, but there don't be a whole
lot of people there.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Hey are you like hot dogs?
Speaker 4 (32:03):
I do? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I love getting a half smoke from a from Ben's
Chili Bowl, shouts out the Bens. Yeah, man, that's a
mix between a hot dog and a what is it?

I mean they just do they just sell them on
a cart. Is it like La where they got these? Uh?
The l a string dog.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Chili bowl is uh? You know it's it's like a
famous place you go to to eat. It's a mix
between a sausage and a uh and a hot dog though,
and they put chili on it and it's really good.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Man Man Kim and Carlos, this little hot dog cart
out in front of a soldier fields they do Chicago
dogs dios meal so good?
Speaker 4 (33:11):
What else we got?
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Would you rather never eat meat again? Or never eat
vegetables again?
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Never eat me say that again?
Speaker 6 (33:18):
Never eat meat again? Or never eat vegetables?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Never eat meat?
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
I could go with never eat meat, because that means
I could eat I could still eat.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
Fish, right.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Fish doesn't fall into that category shrimp, So I'd.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Rather have I go, I go seafood, I go fish.
What they call that? Yeah? There you go, guys.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
Would you rather drown to death or choke to death?
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Jesus Christ, that one's from lorraina X what oh boy,
there's a stunner.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
I almost choked to death. I didn't like that experience.
And I almost drowned too. I didn't like that one either.
I'm not I'm not really sure.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Well, I just want to be honest.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
I was choking on a peanut and then I was thinking.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I was like, I thought drowning would be the worst
way to die, but I enjoy eating so much that
if I died doing something I loved, that would really
be the best tragic thing.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
I don't want to I just I think, like, man, yeah,
I really almost drowned one time, really too.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
We were playing chicken. Is that what it's called chicken fighting?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Where they get on your shoulders and stuff like that,
and I was underwater and I just couldn't.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
I stopped, like I don't know, I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Get from underneath his legs, my brother I was I
was holding my brother, and it.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Got kind of interesting.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
They knew I was under there for too long, and
my dad was like, get off of him. Like I
could hear I was going into I was going into
like the great out, you know, beyond, and then my
dad he finally like jumped off of me, and I
was able to make it. But it was bad. It
was It was a close one and then a jolly rancher.
I generally don't let my kids eat jolly ranchers because
(35:06):
I almost choked on a jolly ranch.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
It was a red one. Not a bad way to
go cherry one. Yeah, I mean if it was grape, that.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Would have sucked. They were sticks. Well, I like grape.
They were sticks when I was younger. Jolly rancher sticks,
you know, you get them and it was like a long,
thin stick.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
I like those ones. But then they start making them
into them like little brick sticks.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Picks.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Yeah, I don't know which one I want to do,
though that those are both very bad.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
That's very bad ways to get up out.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
It's an awful thought. I don't want to partake. Guys.
Speaker 6 (35:44):
Would you rather hire Dion as your next head coacher?
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Brian uh or Brian Belichicklick?
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Going with Belichick? Jeez, I'll go Belichick. All right, I'll
go Belichick.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
Would you rather want only Would you rather watch only
Schwarzenegger movies or Stillone movies?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Oh now that's a good one. That's a good one.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
Stomacho stallone Arnold, come on alone.

over ten thousand recommended installers tiraq dot com, The Way

Speaker 4 (01:06):
I did want to ask you this, though, what'd you
want to ask?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
So this was sort of an angle to this whole
thing that I thought was kind of interesting. We were
talking about the cam Ward discussion. The odds would say
cam Ward is going to go number one overall to
the Tennessee Titans. He had his pro day yesterday, and
it was mentioned, according to NFL reporter Paul Kaharski, that
the Titans and other members of the organization had dinner
(01:33):
with cam Ward over the weekend ahead of his pro day. Right, So,
what would have to happen at a dinner for you
to be like out, can't can't do this, guy, can't
do this? Like what what happens at a dinner where
you're like, f this, that's disgusting or that's out of line,
(01:55):
or I got to distance myself from that guy because
of the way he behaved at dinner. Is there a
certain think.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
That that's a it's a long shot for somebody to
be that repulsive or you know, turn somebody off that
much at a at a dinner where you're clearly wanting
to get to know the prospect better and the prospect
(02:22):
has the opportunity to to show that you know, they
can they can bring a value. I mean, what uh
be be? You know, do lude acts to the person
serving your table, you know, slap them on ass or
something like that, or you know, like spit your spit
(02:45):
your bones on the floor. And even then I don't
even know that that's bad enough.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
By the way, could you imagine if like cam Ward's like, man,
I don't want to go to the Titans. He's at
dinner and he just decides he's gonna grab some guy's
ass when he walks by some bus boys.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
They might get I mean, they might get pumped up, like, oh,
he's encouraging the bus boy, you know, like, hey, good plate,
like wait to grab that plate? Like, don't I don't know.
I think you would have to be over the top,
just it would have to be bad.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Jonah, right, So what about you?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Like what would be a all right?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
This is not because I was thinking about it. I
think what would like if I had like a plate
of fries, Yeah, and somebody just reached over and put
their hand in my plate of fries and pulled out
some fries and started eating it without even asking.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
That would bother me off a.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Plate or a uh you know, a la carte type
of a family style, no bowl of fries even though
they're your fries.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Off my pluff. You're like, if if it's obvious that
these are my fries, like you could say, hey, can
I have a fry? No problem here. But if they
just reached over and put there, and there's something about
putting the whole sweaty, dirty growth.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Why would you have a sweaty, dirty hand out to
dinner at a nice place to eat? I mean, are
they at a burger shack? Like did they just leave
the you know, the workout? Because if that's the case,
then you know people share things like that at burger
shacks and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
It's meant to share your fries.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, but I'm talking about like sweaty, warm, disgusting, filthy hands.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Why would y'all Why would y'all be out eating if
that's how sweaty and filthy he was? Wow, I'm playing
that way. I hate to be judging you hypothetically. I
need to be judging you the organization for even not
allowing me to have the opportunity to clean myself up
because it's a it's a business and it's a job interview.
(04:45):
Why would you not give me the proper opportunity to
clean myself up?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
There's a bathroom right over there, go wash your hands.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Oh, come on, man, slob, come on man. Oh, I'm
just entertaining you.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
But you know you have all you of all people,
if I wash my hands, I know, but if somebody,
if somebody's got a sweaty palm, you know that bothers me.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I don't like that at all. I'm not going to judge.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
But I'm not going to judge them because they have
a moisture saturated hand. I'm just I just you know,
I just don't like shaking sweaty palm hand.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Okay, Now now let me ask you. All right, so,
because we can go down the road of grooming and
like you know, body odor and things like that, but
is there a is there something that they could eat
in front of you that you would be like, I'm out,
Like I can't be a part of this.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
No, because I'm not judging them based off of that.
I'm judging them based off of what they bring to
our team. Can can we win games with this guy
on our team? Now, you are going to take into
consideration characteristic traits, how they speak to people, how they
(06:09):
treat things, because that's ultimately going back to how they
process things and how they execute things. That translates to
the field. So you're gonna look at how he's speaking
and how he's doing things. And we heard cam Ward's interview.
We did a SoundBite in the first segment. He's well spoken,
(06:30):
he's well spoken, he's thoughtful, and that's not cam Ward's
not going to mess up his opportunity to get drafted
off of a team.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Dinner, Lee, what were your you said, ketch up?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Now, Lee could come up, Lee could probably give you
some good stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Well, I can think of a few things that you
could do at a dinner to screw it all up
for what you've done well that anyone could do, but
not that.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Necessarily not, but that you've done well.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Here's one.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
I would never have put my staking ketchup.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
But if all of a sudden, you know, his quarterback
prospects putting just putting, just dousing his steak and ketchup,
that'd be a red flag right there.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Okay, but what if the steak sucks, well, then put
some some.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I don't care if it's a five star restaurant with
extra credit. If that man wants to put ketch up
on his steak, what like that's you're gonna You're saying
that's a rip? Why is that a red flag?
Speaker 6 (07:26):
You know, I think he's got some character issues.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
What if all of a sudden, you know, we're worried
about his weight and he's putting down just breadstick after breadstick,
can't control himself.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, but if he's you know, finishing a fast, you
know he can get away with that.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
How about how he handles his booze.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Maybe he's ordering a little too much, maybe uh, and
maybe that steak goes through him a little too quick.
Maybe he's just letting him rip left and right at
the at the dinner table.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It feels like you're talking about yourself projecting.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
I'm I don't know if you could ruin it or not.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
That is that if if a guy is so irresponsible
that he's actually going to have beverages with alcohol in them,
then nature played its course. I would never I would
never drink with somebody that I'm job interviewing with.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I wouldn't get a drink at all.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
So so the thing about it is, though, that's still
is not that's still not like that's a red flag.
If he gets a glass of red wine or something. Sure,
if the dude gets drunk like straight faded at the
table and he's out with the team. Of course, that's
I mean, we could throw out the most egregious stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Go ahead, Josh, I got one. All right, Now I'm
gonna paint the picture for you.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Oh god, all right. You're sitting at dinner, things are
going well, and a white woman comes up and sits with.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Yeah, red flash, Now you're not taking this guy?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Well, you know what way to make it unrealistic to
the show, But so imagine this. You're having an interview.
You're sitting there at the table. You know things are
going well, you know, dinner's about to wrap up, and
all of a sudden you notice that this prospect is
(09:23):
looking around for something.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
He's looking around you can't find.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Hell, he sees eight can I grab that, reaches over,
takes the straw out of your water, folds the tip
of the straw, and starts picking out a giant chunk
of food from his teeth in front of you while
talking with yes, and then flicks it to where you
(09:46):
can see the food projectile a La kingpin into the
bathroom mirror and land on the table, and then continue
the conversation as if nothing happened. You LeVar Arrington, who
have a weak stomach, you tell me.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I would gag, But that wouldn't be enough for me.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I just would never go out to eat with them.
I would gag. That would gag.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
If it hit me, if the if the food particle
hit yeah, I might, it might come out.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I might.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I might vomit right there.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Do you imagine that, like it just just like a
like a two centimeter wide piece of ribbie just hits
you right in the cheek.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
That that would be revolting.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I trade out of the pick. I literally would trade.
I'd call somebody and say, I don't care what you got,
send me a bag of footballs and uh and and
a and a pack of rolled golds and take the pick.
I don't care. I would trade out of the pick immediately.
Other than that he's gonna go.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I think it'd takes some very very I would give
me some very extreme things that would have to take
place for a dinner with a prospect to turn off.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
By the way, nothing makes me laugh more on this
show than when you actually gag when we have conversations
about stuff, because it's legit.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That's not something I play around that's definitely not for fake.
It'd be very hard for a dinner to ruin a
prospects chances. If he's a top, top prospect, he didn't
ruin his chances of going number one. Now he probably
could improve them. He could improve them because if you
if people get smitten with you, then that could probably
(11:45):
make a difference. But it's still I would still say.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
It's kind of it's.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
That's that's just more like formalities of what's taking place
in the process. It's not like, yeah, you're getting to
know them. You get an opportunity to sit down with them.
You could turn them off, or you could turn them
on with how you are. But but it would take
a whole lot to turn them off to wanting to
(12:18):
draft you, if they indeed were high on wanting to
draft you.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Did you have a pre draft dinners with.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Anybody predraft dinner?
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I did so. I did a couple visits. I went
and I visited Cleveland, I visited Washington. I don't recall.
I don't recall all the things I did. I mean,
it's been too long, but I certainly had an opportunity
to sit down with the decision makers. They also had
(12:49):
players like I remember Irving Fryar was in one of
the meetings that you know, I took part of. So
they were measuring and they was gaugey you know who
I was as a person, and you know what my
belief system was.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Am I going to be a problem?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Like they just flat out asked me like are you
going to be a problem to us? And stuff like that,
And I'm like, you know, I don't understand what type
of a question that is. You know, what do you mean?
Am I going to be a problem to you? I
don't what what? What? What about me made you ask
that question? So I kind of felt like, you know,
(13:28):
like you offended me. You know I'm a prospect, but
you kind of offended me. Like I come from a
strong family, a two parent home. My father served our country.
Now he's a a minister, ordained minister in a Christian church.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
We're as we're as solid as it gets.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
As a as an American family, and you're asking me,
am I going to be a problem?
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Like what do you mean?
Speaker 7 (13:59):
Like?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I honor my parents, I get up, I go to work.
I'm not I'm not late for anything. There's there's no
there's no history of me doing things that I get
in trouble or anything. So I don't understand what you
mean by asking me. Am I going to be a
problem to you?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
You know? So when people.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Say certain things, I feel like, you know, it could
go one way or the other, and it could be
handled in certain ways. I'm not like this militant dude,
right Like, it could have easily been a racial thing.
You know, I could have made I could have made
it a racial thing. They could have made it a
racial thing. And that generally seems to be like the
(14:38):
hot button way of getting things popping is if you
make it, you know, give it racial undertones, like like
what you think I'm a gangbanger? You know, like like
what what? What exactly?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
What are you getting at? What are you hinting at
by asking me these questions? But I think if you
just you handle yourself a way that you're who you are,
you'd be true to who you are.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
You know. I didn't.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I didn't go into any of those those meetings that
I had with any of those coaches and act as
though I was like on my best behavior. Because I
was there, I was just who I was, Because I
felt like me being who I was is the reason
why I'm here in the first place.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
So why am I going to be somebody different? Now?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
So I go I'm supposed to come walk in. Hey, everybody,
how are you doing? Is everything okay?
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Great?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I'm so happy to be here, Like, that's not how
I am. Wait, say, is that your white voice?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
That's just my like cornball voice.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I don't think it connected to It is just I'm
being a cornball and I don't think being that's If
being a cornball is your deal, then be a I'm
just I just didn't happen to be one. I don't
happen to be a cornball. That wasn't my approach. So
if the way I was turned you off to me
as a person, I mean, I'm not for everybody, right,
(15:59):
I was say that about anybody. You're not for everybody.
Plus I play football, Like I'm interviewing you for a
job to play football, Like, what exactly are you looking for?
How difficult is this this business meeting going to be?
I gave you all my like you have all my film,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Like, what is this?
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Like?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
What am I going to do to really really mess
this up? Could you could mess it up? You could
I'm not saying you can't mess it up, but I
think it's more so you can more solidify much more
than it just being something that you mess up. Like
you could come in and your clothes could be all
like ratty or something like that. They're not going to
(16:42):
judge you off of how you're dressed. It's like, oh,
he just doesn't have much or you know, whatever their
conclusion may be.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
It'll take a lot for.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
You to turn off a franchise, you know, in those moments,
because they're already.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Very high on you.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
The first time I met my wife's family, so we
had we've been dating for a little not too long,
and she just said, you know, hey, do you want
to meet you know, my family? Well, yeah, what's going on?
She's like, Oh, we're having a King Signetta for my cousin.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I didn't know anything about those until I moved to California.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
And I was like, okay, so which is for you know.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
But not not Ken Signeiras.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, I mean it's every week, especially right now is
Kin Signetta season. It feels like so basically what it
is is, you know, fifteen year old's birthday and it's
a big celebration like a huge, huge celebration, and so
I said sure, And back in my mind, I'm thinking
they're probably thinking of themselves. There's no way that this
(17:42):
white guy is going to walk into that room and
not be intimidated. And I literally just walked in there,
like fitt, what do I get to lose? Get in there,
meet everybody, don't remember anybody's name. There's forty eight hundred cousins.
I was about to say, just like, you're meeting so
(18:07):
many people, and it's in giant room, a giant ballroom
that had overflow seating because there were so many people there.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
And so at one point I get up to use
the bat.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Guarantee you you could have took a guess and you
would have been you might have hit at some point,
you might have hit, but go ahead.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Good. See.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
So I get up at one point to use the bathroom,
and I as I walk into the bathroom, the mariachi
are at the urinal and one of the mariachi members
right as I walk in the bathroom pants, No, he
pants is the other guy. So my first meeting with
my wife's family was seeing some mariachi guys ass while
(18:48):
he's standing in front of the urinal cake and his
buddy turns around and goes, oh, so Sadi so Sai.
I said, hey, no problem, just the door.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
It's like, no problem. I came back and it was
just pants.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I told her. I came back and told my my wife.
You know a girl I was dating at the time, like, hey,
uh Marriochi's getting after it. She goes, what do you
mean and she was MORTI fied like that, Oh my god,
there's no like, he's not going to come back for more.
And at that point I just realized, well, that's how
it is. I'm gonna fit right in. And so we
were off and running, but nothing happened for them to
(19:27):
scare away or be scared away from taking me number
one overall in the draft.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
You should always put your best foot forward. I'm not
saying don't put your best foot forward. It's a job interview.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I don't, so I don't want people to interpret what
I'm saying is you do what you want to do
and you're going to get rewarded for it.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
That's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
You asked me to question what could a person do
to take themselves out of being in consideration for the
fact yeah. I mean, you could show tendencies of a killer.
You could show tendency of a deviant, you know, you
name it, fill in the blank. You could say and
(20:10):
do things that go so far against the grain of
what a normal, logical, sensible person would say or do,
and it could be a tremendous turn off to them,
and that.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Will play a part.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
But will that be the reason why they wouldn't draft you,
I don't know. I don't know that. I don't know. Well,
it's a hard one to answer. I think they already
have an idea who they want to draft. I just
think that they're still continuing to kind of measure out,
you know, and collect information. A lot of this is
collecting information you may have an opportunity to trade for
(20:48):
them or or pick them up as a.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Free agent later on.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
So there's a lot more to it than just if
you're going to take the person with the draft pick
that you have.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
It's two pros and a cup of Joe Here on
Fox Sports Radio of Arrington Jonas Knox with you here
coming up next here, though, we are going to tell
you about a story that just will not go away.
Apparently there was more to a breakup so to speak,
in the NFL than we realize.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
We'll get into that for you here on FSR.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Arrington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming up, we
are going to have an oldie but a goodie. We're
going to dust off another edition of would you rather?
It's been a long time since we've done that. That'll
be yours here again a little over twelve minutes from
now here on FSR, speaking of an oldie bit of goodie.
(21:51):
Who knew this story was still out there? Tom Brady
apparently he's got a weekly newsletter. Why wouldn't you know?
Like he doesn't have enough going on, he's got a
weekly newsletter. And he spoke about his split from the Patriots,
more specifically Bill Belichick and said the following quote. After
(22:13):
twenty years together, a natural tension had developed between where
Coach Belichick and I were headed in our own careers
and where the Patriots were moving as a franchise. It
was the kind of tension that could only be resolved
by some kind of split or one of us reassessing
our priorities. Me and Coach Belichick. We did what we
loved and competed for twenty years together. But I wasn't
(22:34):
going to sign another contract in New England, even if
I wanted to play until I was fifty, based on
how things had gone, I wasn't going to sign up
for more of it.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
End.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Quote from Tom Brady in his newsletter about the split
with Bill Belichick, which I would just say this, I
am shocked that this is still being discussed, that this
is still a storyline in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Well, he will always be asked about it. I mean,
it's the greatest run of a coach and a player
in the history of the NFL, And maybe some would
say in all of sports. Why now? It was the
(23:19):
first thing I thought about, like, what, what?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
What made it?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
What made right now the time to put that in
your your newsletter and push that out there and listen.
I don't think that that comes as some type of
military secret surprise, right. It's not like, oh, you went
into the vaults and went in and grabbed out information
that no one knew. I mean, I think everybody assumed
(23:45):
that the relationship was, you know, kind of going the
direction of what Tom Brady, you know, kind of.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Expressed in his newsletter.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
And those things happen, you know, those things have They
happen in personal relationships at home, they happen in work
relationships in the workplace. I mean, these things happen, and
so there's no reason to take a negative approach to
what he's saying or anything like that. But my whole
(24:18):
thing is, you could have said that while it was
going on, right like why wait until now to say
it like, Okay, it's safe, the coast is clear. What what?
What's the reasoning for now? I almost feel like a
guy like Tom Brady's got so much going on and
there would have to be a reason as to why
(24:40):
he specifically released that in particular, That's what I would say,
is newsworthy, what's the setup? What's it setting setting up for?
Is there is there a documentary coming out? Is there
a book coming is there?
Speaker 4 (24:55):
What? What is it?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
What is connected to that that made it relevant for
Tom Brady to want to release that that statement in
his newsletter.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, it was part of a you know, he's got
different sections. This was called reflection as part of the
section in his newsletter. And just felt like, hey, you know,
maybe i've I'm viewing it from a different lens at
this point in my life, and maybe that's it's better too, And.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
It could be that simple. It really could be that simple,
to be honest.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
It's also look, they were together for twenty years, Like
it's not.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Just celebrated twenty.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
It ain't easy and I'm sure it's been, you know,
just it ain't easy, been simple the entire time.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
That's that's a different type of setup.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
But you know what I mean, that's not Some would
say it is an employer, but I mean, you know
it's not twenty but an employer has been twenty with
the situation.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Like you know, when when Shaq and Kobe broke up,
you know when that was the when the Lakers, you know,
they like one of the big discussions afterwards was, man,
think about how many more they could have won had
they not split, And that was because Shaq went and
won another one, Kobe went and won two more, Like
there was still tread on the tires even though Shaq,
(26:13):
you know, was towards the back end of his career.
At that point, there was still tread on the tires
that you could win more that I understand why there
would always be a discussion this one. Dude, you had
twenty years, like you got it, Like there was a
lot done. You had twenty years. I know Brady went
on and won one in Tampa Bay, but New England
didn't have the roster that Tampa Bay did at that point.
(26:35):
That's just a fact. So I look at it and go,
that's just the natural course of evolution, if you will.
And they got to a point in their relationship where
it was just not tenable anymore, and he went to
a place where he could compete for a super Bowl
again and he did. Sony won. Like it feels pretty
cut and dry to me. I don't know that there's
(26:56):
anything salacious to it, to be honest, I don't.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Think there's I don't feel like there's any new information
that would have surfaced that says, Okay, this is why
Tom Brady left again. I think that we all knew
that the Patriot Way was the Patriot way, and we
tried to figure out was the Patriot way the Bill
Belichick and Tom Brady way or was it the Bill
(27:20):
Belichick way or was it the Tom Brady way. I
would assume whoever you're asking would dictate what that answer
would be. You know, some will say one, some will
say the others, some will say both. I mean, that's
just that's how that relationship unfolded and how it finished.
(27:42):
But make no mistake about it. I mean they had
a brilliant run together. And when you have so much
brilliance connected to what it is that you're doing and
what you've accomplished, that's always going to be the question
if things don't end in that storybook manner. It didn't
end in the storybook matter. It ended, uh in a
(28:03):
way where you know that it was there was contention.
There is that the right word. My brain has kind
of sleep today. Yeah, it was a little contentious, and
and so obviously when you've had that much success and
you see things kind of unraveling the way that they
(28:24):
are between two people that were the main the main figures,
the main characters in what what played out, you know,
during the duration of that time, you're going to have
a whole lot of conversations and you know, for what
it's worth. I mean, I still have reflective moments over
my career. Uh you know, I think that to have
(28:48):
reflection over what you've done and where you've been is natural.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
I think it's necessary.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I think it's responsible, and I think it's pretty cool
that Tom Brady shares it in his newsletter and is
you know, in that certain section. So, but I don't
think it's a military secret, Jonas.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
No, Here's what I do know. Though, there's no one
size fits all mattress.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Well that's true.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
At Mattress Firm, they're sleep experts will match you with
the right one. So upgrade to a premium mattress during
the upgrade your sleep sale and sleep at Night's bad

long ass time. Lead to lab.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
What do we got random? Sports or otherwise? That is
indeed the theme today. Well, we've got MLB Opening Day
on Thursday long with the Sweet sixteen tipping off, and
the draft is right around the corner. Would you rather
attend MLB Opening Day of your favorite team sweet sixteen
or the draft in green.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Bay Sweet sixteen.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Ooh, I did the other two. I do the draft.
I haven't been to Green Bay, and I would say
that feels like a fun event. And also Opening Day
just you know, there's a lot of games, doesn't have
to be Opening Day, but I would say the draft
(31:40):
probably be my pick.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
There's a little bit of something in the air on
MLB Opening Day though, but I agree with you drafting
green Bay.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Sweets exactly pretty what's in the air?
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, oh, just the vibe, you know, oh, booze and food.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Yeah, I've done it. I've done Opening Day for the
Nationals before. It's exciting, but there don't be a whole
lot of people there.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Hey are you like hot dogs?

Speaker 1 (32:48):

famous place you go to to eat. It's a mix

Never eat meat again? Or never eat vegetables?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Never eat meat?
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
I could go with never eat meat, because that means
I could eat I could still eat.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
Fish, right.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Fish doesn't fall into that category shrimp, So I'd.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Rather have I go, I go seafood, I go fish.
What they call that? Yeah? There you go, guys.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
Would you rather drown to death or choke to death?
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Jesus Christ, that one's from lorraina X what oh boy,
there's a stunner.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
I almost choked to death. I didn't like that experience.
And I almost drowned too. I didn't like that one either.
I'm not I'm not really sure.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Well, I just want to be honest.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
I was choking on a peanut and then I was thinking.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I was like, I thought drowning would be the worst
way to die, but I enjoy eating so much that
if I died doing something I loved, that would really
be the best tragic thing.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
I don't want to I just I think, like, man, yeah,
I really almost drowned one time, really too.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
We were playing chicken. Is that what it's called chicken fighting?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Where they get on your shoulders and stuff like that,
and I was underwater and I just couldn't.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
I stopped, like I don't know, I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Get from underneath his legs, my brother I was I
was holding my brother, and it.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Got kind of interesting.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
They knew I was under there for too long, and
my dad was like, get off of him. Like I
could hear I was going into I was going into
like the great out, you know, beyond, and then my
dad he finally like jumped off of me, and I
was able to make it. But it was bad. It
was It was a close one and then a jolly rancher.
I generally don't let my kids eat jolly ranchers because
(35:06):
I almost choked on a jolly ranch.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
It was a red one. Not a bad way to
go cherry one. Yeah, I mean if it was grape, that.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Would have sucked. They were sticks. Well, I like grape.
They were sticks when I was younger. Jolly rancher sticks,
you know, you get them and it was like a long,
thin stick.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
I like those ones. But then they start making them
into them like little brick sticks.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Picks.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Yeah, I don't know which one I want to do,
though that those are both very bad.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
That's very bad ways to get up out.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
It's an awful thought. I don't want to partake. Guys.
Speaker 6 (35:44):
Would you rather hire Dion as your next head coacher?
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Brian uh or Brian Belichicklick?
