2 Pros and a Cup of JoeMonday on 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe, the guys recap all the action form the weekend including the Pacers taking commanding lead vs the Cavs and the Thunder evening the series. Bill Belichick’s girlfriend loses the Miss Maine beauty pageant. The season opener will be a divisional matchup between the Eagles and Cowboys. The Browns QB circus is underway between Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel.
Is the best of two pros and a couple with Lamar Rady Win and Jonas Knox on radio.
We are now back.
Yeah, and happy Happy Mother's Day, by the way, Happy belated Mother's Days. All the moms out there they give a chance to Really, I don't think Friday do we even talk about that?
Really?
Really we should have should have Happy blated Mother's Day though. And also one real quick note, thank you to all the men out there in their lives to help make that day possible.
Yeah.
You can't just have one day, can we, Brady?
I mean you could turn around us on Father's Day.
Yeah, but I wouldn't.
Well, because every holiday is for y'all. I mean, yeah, it just is what it is. Well, that came across the tab. It's selfish, you know, I'm just saying, Yeah, anyway, we not me. That's a philosophy on this show. And uh, we.
Are not all Cleveland Cavalier fans. Brady Quinn is.
That was a rough one last night.
Oh boy, Yeah, what was it?
I wish we f eighted uh Brady Quinn last week?
Damn. Oh It's okay, it's three wounds. Still got time, Still got time.
That was a game though, where there's that be of like an NBA game nowadays, where when it's not even close, just go in and wave the right flag. But I stopped the game at halftime. There's no need to play another half of basketball. I mean, even though I guess you could say Cleveland cut the depth cit to half of what it was at half. I just I've never seen a team get annihilated like that out of the gate and shoots soap. There were twenty five percent from the field twenty I'm just put in perspective. Indiana was shooting sixty seven percent from three, like they couldn't miss. Cleveland couldn't get a bucket. It was over absolute laid an egg. And again I do go back to you. I feel like early in the series series, at times, you know you'll see some teams just kind of come out flat. I don't know if that's the way to describe.
It, but they weren't ready for the moment. That was one of the worst performances they've had all year.
Now. That was bad, and losing Donovan Mitchell to warm up second half doesn't help your cause. And I don't know how long he's going to be out for. But that definitely doesn't bote well to what I already you know, boldly predicted it was over anyway after that demoralizing loss that they had the other night. But this one, I don't know. Was this a white flag waved game? Before the game? Even that going.
Right?
Was it?
When you get injured, when you get injured in warm ups before the second half, Like that's that's just Cleveland.
Like nowhere else but Cleveland.
Does that sort of thing happen where your best player, arguably your best player.
Gets injured in warm ups heading in the second half. Not saying there's much of a shot given the score differential, but still that's such a Cleveland thing to happen.
I mean, this one could have been more demoralizing, just in terms of the way they were dominated in the game by the Pacers. But I feel like, I don't know, did they come out with a little bit of fight. Didn't look like it. It just it just looked like they were out of sync. It looked like it like as you mentioned, they had poor shot selections. I mean, this whole, this whole three point phenomenon, if that's what people want to call it, I may call it like a three point a demic type of deal, because I mean, at some point, you do have to play basketball, and you may get tired running up and down the court and stuff like that, and you're chucking up threes all the time, and where's the basketball anymore? Like every once in a while you see guys slash to the hole and make layups or make mid range jump shots. It's like that is such a it's such a relief for me to see basketball players go to the rim or actually dunk the ball. At times, I don't know, man, it's like live out of three, die out of three. And none of the teams shot well yesterday, by the way, I mean the thunder Nuggets game, they didn't shoot well either that you know, the Nuggets missed critical free throws down the stretch of the game. I mean, I don't know, man. The three pointer is like, Okay, it's exciting to see people shoot it up and it go in and stuff like that. But when you're not making threes, play basketball, man, you know, pick and rolls, you know, go to the rack, you know, I mean, just go figure. You know, every point doesn't have to be from beyond the three point length.
I will give Kenny Atkinson credit the Cavaliers head coach even afterwards, really upbeat, really optimistic. Hey, coach, what's the deal with Donovan Mitchell's injury?
Left ankle? Left ankle injury. He'll get an MRI tomorrow, no idea.
I mean, you know obviously couldn't go in the second half.
So what d MRI.
Says, Thanks coach, Real upbeat, real positive, positive vibes there in Cleveland.
And you know what, can I also say this?
What do you want them to do?
His best player gets gets hurt in warm ups before the second half?
Mind, either're done forty at.
Half times, because my whole thing is at that point, with a game like that, why should he have to talk? What is there to say? They just got annihilated. He's got no answers, clearly in that moment, because they were losing by almost sixty at certain points it seemed like and he's looking around going, look, man, Garland's banged up. Now we got Mitchell who's banged up. It feels like the writing's on the wall. And then you got to send us out there in those in those awful unis, those awful jerseys they're wearing. It's it's it's terrible and it's an awful thing that happened to Cleveland last night. Got exposed and didn't even look good while they were getting exposed.
Sober Man so not willing to give up yet.
And we have seen you don't have to give up.
We've seen a comeback from three to one.
You could go out kicking and screaming, or you could go out.
With your head.
But joh going home. It might be this next game, it.
Might be that I took him Lebron James. But we've seen it before.
That is true, that's not that's not going to happen in this situation. Kidding, It's never going to happen. Lorena. Here's my pick. The Cleveland Cavaliers are through.
Sticks picks.
There you go, They're done. Now here's the one that I'm not certain of. I can't get a real legit read on the thunder Nuggets series.
I can't get it.
I'm the same way I can't. I don't. It's like one game, it's like Yep, it's going to be Denver, it's going to be the the experience, it's going to be them boom. Then the next game it's like dang. The thunder. Look good, Nope, it's going to be the thunder. Then you go to the next game. Nope, there ain't gonna be the thunder. It's going to be the Nuggets. Like they're at two to two yesterday, it didn't look like the Nuggets had an enough gas in the tank. They didn't, you know, obviously Jokic does what is it? Jokic? Why do I always mess up these guys' name? It's it's what is it?
Nicole? Nicola? Is that right? Yeah?
Yeah, Nicholas?
You don't know.
I don't know. I always mix him up with uh with the player for the Lakers, if you want to just call him white guy. They're both white guys though, That's why I'm probably clearly mixing them up. Anyway. Nicola had his points, he had his game, But I mean, do we feel as though it was impressive? Like is there is there a point where you look at a stat line total and the production and you say, well, the production of it on paper looks good, but it really didn't really didn't play into them really winning the game. Like, I don't know, I feel like for all the points that he got, twenty seven points is a lot of points but I feel like Hartenstein and and the other the other tall dude. What's the other tall dude's name? Why am I blanking on his name? Yeah, home Grid. I think they're doing I think they're doing as good a job on on on Jokic as he is an all guy or hands and hey, hey, and he happened home Gridd happens to be a white dude too. Anyway, I think they're doing a good job on on uh on Jokic, I really do. And I think that that's actually the difference outside of them missing their their free throws down down the stretch run. I think that that has been the difference for OKC outside of all of the you know, the obvious things that that they've done offensively. But I think that's been the difference, is them doubling up on Jokic and them not. I just don't feel like they had enough gas in the tank last night to be able to win that game.
Denver's coach David Adaman he was talking afterwards because he was asked about potentially fatigue having an impact on that game last night, and had this to.
Say, I'm not going to say that, you know, I don't want to say that. I will say that I think both teams were very tired coming off an unbelievably physical overtime battle on a late Friday night. So if I if it affected us, it sure surely affected them as well. I mean, both of us had super tired legs. So it was about who's going to make that final run. And we got up eight. I thought we were making the push, and to their credit, you know, they were the ones to make the final run, and we made mistakes late. We can call them mental mistakes, physical, whatever it was. We didn't play well enough the last six minutes to win a playoff.
Game, a game in Denver. They should have the advantage right down the stretch with the altitude and all that, sure to do it. But like people are like, well, you know what about the schedule, dude, You're not playing back to back days like it's every other day and as it should be. Like so the regular season, there was the issue at the schedule, and now people are trying to bring up, well, maybe we got a space.
He's out.
Even I like the fact that we're going one day off and then you play a game.
Just continue.
I understand though, the point because it doesn't feel like they really got that day off. Especially when you play a late game that Friday night and then you're hit with an early game Sunday, it doesn't really feel like you get that off day the day, the day prior. You know, everything kind of jumps you a little bit quicker. If it was a night game, that'd be one thing, but it wasn't. I mean that that does make a big difference. You know, there's teams in the NFL to play that late game on Sunday, I have to turn right back around play Thursday. And that's a tough challenge, you know, and so you just you don't get into your normal rhythm of recovery and all that. And during the regular season it's different because you've got to play eighty two games, so you have to get them all in. This is it's for it all a sudden dest scenario that like, I don't think you really needed to play that.
Game as early as you did yesterday.
Like I've actually been a little bit baffled with some of the TV scheduling this particular time of year. And I'm not sure why I didn't notice this earlier, but like, are people watching during Mother's Day?
NBA games.
Like if you went out into a nice brunch or a lunch celebrating your mom or celebrating that woman in your life, you have the NBA on while you were doing that. My guess is probably not I I hope not.
I was watching, But it's my job. I don't know that I would have been watching if it was wasn't my job to watch it.
Run your point, but I'm talking about the mass not like us by I'm time.
I'm more like the masses of Peo.
I think it makes it even more damning that it's my job and I didn't even want to watch it, you know.
I mean, I'm just saying, Oh, I'm not saying that people don't don't want to watch it. I'm just saying, for whatever reason, putting that game on when they did, I mean, that's going to give you the biggest ratings at that point in time in the day. Did I miss like where whatever else like they could have scheduled last night. I mean, I know they're trying to juggle it between like hockey and basketball and everything else.
I just I don't know. I was really disappointed with what they scheduled stuff.
It was a pretty decent gap in between the games, don't you think, Like, what was it like an hour or two before between.
Yeah, it was an eight Eastern time tip for Cleveland Indiana. I looked, you know, no offense to Cleveland Indiana, But I would rather have seen the other game in prime time. I'd rather have seen that play out and we could kind of, you know, get the blowout out of the way and then have something to look forward to later on at night.
So let's sit in the obvious after the fact. But are you singing in general you'd rather sing those two teams playoff.
I think it's a better matchup. Okay, Cleveland's just banged up. Man, it's not the same team. Like, it's not that that team was the best team in the East by a mile, and it is not the same team. They're limping to the finish line, and and now with Mitchell out and the fact they're going to have to give an m R.
I and I think, you know, I mean, they had guys back.
He's got he's got this toe issue. Garland does that. Apparently he's just not the same player like the other night he went down like just like yeah, I don't know if his toes like the coming off his body or what. But he's got this issue that's happening.
That's what they call it.
That's disgusting, I will say. And back to the game that that really mattered in the series. That matters because that that Cleveland one is over, that thunder Nuggets game. I think it's interesting.
You didn't grow up with a basketball team in Pittsburgh. I get it.
You know, no animosity? Yeah, just stank right now?
I mean a team at all?
Who is our basketball the Bulls?
Who was your basketball?
Bull Give me a break. You can't be a Bulls fan?
Why can't I be a Bulls fan? There's nobody?
Because your state, at least you have the seventy six ers in Pennsylvania.
I get to choose what team I want to cheer for.
Yeah, when you don't have a team present, when you don't have a team in your life, you.
Get You're right, you get the Pittsburgh still choose the Pittsburgh Mowlers, the Pittsburgh Spirit, our soccer team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, anything, the Pirates, all Pittsburgh teams or my team's growing up, NBA.
You did not have it.
I'm not Why would I we don't even like the eastern side of the state. I didn't even like the eastern side of the state until I went to penn State. Like, we don't claim Philadelphia that you know how that'd be?
Like, No, it's a great question.
Like people from Cincinnati, you don't have a basketball team, do you root for the Calves.
Because don't know. I don't know the dynamic of Ohio. I will say that and understand dynamic.
But Pennsylvania is divided by east and west. Yes, by north and south.
There you go. It's not that different. It's the exact same. It's just what I'm saying.
Is Philadelphia and Pittsburgh we are. We are day and night different.
That's a Dayland and Cincinnati people will tell you that too.
So you think they do? You think they chair for Cleveland.
I never actually posed the question ever before my life to think about that, so I don't think they do. I think I.
Would never choose growing up, I would have never chosen a Philadelphia team, not the Eagles. In fact, I wanted to beat the Eagles every time we played on the worst in the worst way. Wanted to beat the freaking Phillies in the worst way. Wanted to beat the Flyers in the worst way because we claim to be the winning side of the state. Now they gotten a Super Bowl since in more recent times, they've been good in baseball, and more recent times they've been decentoball it better than the Pirates. They they've been good and and pretty like decent in basketball. Yeah right, yeah, but we don't have a basketball team, so it doesn't matter that that they are good in basketball. But we would never I would never claim a Philly team growing up in Pittsburgh would I would never. That would never happen. Anyway, back to the original point, I was a Bulls fan because well they were always on. They were always on, The Lakers were always on and the Celtics were always on when I was growing up, and clearly I was. I was a big time. It was a big time Michael Jordan fan. I mean, go figure, sorry, shoes and everything.
Has just picked all front runners. That's why he likes Celtics. Yeah, I mean Pittsburgh the Celtics, Like.
Come on, dude, like the Bears.
If you're just all in the what do you want me to do? Just just ball wash the entire state of California.
Some of us are real fans. Some of us like follow a team despite them winning, Like some of us are real fans about it, even with the heart break.
Still where you live, bro, Like, you are supposed to support the team where you live. I don't live in Cleveland, right see, But if you don't, if you don't live there, then if you don't have a team where you reside, you get to choose. That's just how you work. That's close enough for it. It's like, it's not that well, I don't know. Again, if I lived in Central Pennsylvania, that's different.
I can choose.
That's either way.
Where I grew up, Okay, Central Ohio.
Okay, then that you can go either way. I grew up. You're on the side. You got to choose a side, like you can't. You can't be in Pittsburgh cheering for Philly teams. You can't do it. I grew up. That's blasphemous.
I grew up with Celtics fans. My dad was a Celtics fan. They were the only team he lives. He could listen to on the radio, and so that's why he rooted for that.
I'm this, you could listen to it at radio.
I'm saying my dad, not me, my dad growing.
Up, but when he would drive his Model.
Tea sitting around the road the radio listening to the game, like like just some old so so so as I was saying before I was interrupted again, so I was.
I was also there was I was a Cubs fan because my dad grew up in Illinois. We had family out there. You could be a White Sox fan or a Cubs fan. They chose the Cubs, and the Bears came along with it, and then the Penguin.
The Cowboys because that's from That's where Whyarp is from, right, and he fought the Cowboys.
I'll be honest, the Cowboys.
The Penguins fandom.
I just kind of started getting into hockey and I liked the logo and I was like, oh, that's pretty cool. But nobody was really a big hockey fan of my family.
And they like the original Penguin, like the older one.
No no, no, no, the early door one, like early nineties, like ninety three ish. It was right after their Stanley Cups. Go figure, all right, now, I have to tell you this is just like I open up the sports menu and it was like, you know what, I don't have to eat off that page. I'll go, I'll go look around a little bit. I don't have to pick local California teams, so I chose differently. No, we do what we do.
I'm not judging you, but I'm just saying you should choose where you're from and if you're not, if you don't have one where you're from, then you get to choose who you want. Like that's I feel like that's fair. That's a fair deal. I didn't grow up with a basketball team. I mean so, I mean I had to cheer for somebody.
Like you know, the people that got a real rough for like people in Buffalo. Like there's probably people in Buffalo that are Blue Jays fans. Like there's probably people in Buffalo. You're so close to the ball.
They don't have a basketball team either, do they do? They claim the Grizzlies? Do they do? They claim the Raptors?
They like?
Do they go? So you got to cross the border. You got across the border to go chair for your home team, Like you.
Gotta pay the tariff.
That's how committed I am.
Yeah, all right, just say the something to it.
Be sure to catch live editions of two pros and a cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and Jonas Knox weekdays at six a m. Eastern three am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
They call me white Beard the Viking, you know, the Black Viking.
With white I watched it yesterday, dude.
Yeah, how'd you like it?
I slept your all of it?
Oh, well, there you go.
No, it was good.
You're a sucker.
There's a reason for that too, if that was the case.
And it wasn't the movie, by the way, as part part of the reason.
Okay, I don't like it.
It's a good movie, man, it was good.
I know that Lee got lit up this weekend.
I know it. I can tell. How can you tell that?
You just tell he went through it this weekend.
He went through it this weekend.
Yeah.
Do you ever have argain where you get banged up?
I haven't drank.
Yeah, okay, LeVar, do you want to know how he knows? And you can tell, but you don't walk into the Google doc. If you could, you would see whenever there's panic and Lee has like like sixty updates because he's trying to figure something out on Google doc.
You know, he got after it and he's having a rough Monday morning trying to figure this a way.
Well, hold on, yes, but also I hit some F button F twelve or something, and now it's like everything I have to do gets.
I don't know.
I don't know how to explain it, but I need to like approve every edit I make on the Google Google doc.
It's actually funny.
You probably drunkenly put something in there to safeguard if you made a change while drunk, and then once you sobered up, it like then allows you bick.
Do you really want to make this change? Lee? Do you do?
You?
Lee? A few times?
How many updates did he make?
I got an email with about six or seven updates and I was like, what is happening right now?
Yeah? I don't see all of that.
So the glorious part is you can actually go through the history of the document and see like different variations of it.
So I could see like where Lee was like couldn't spell something for going on.
It's great.
It is two pros and a cup of Joe. Here on Fox Sports Radio, lebar Arrington, Brady, Quinn, Jonas Knox with you, and we are going to take you all the way up until nine am Eastern time, six o'clock Spacific.
Now.
Normally to end hour one of the program, we do in Case you missed It, starring Lee to lap right now, though we are going to implement that here at the top of the hour because we did not have time last hour.
So let's get to it.
Sometimes you can't get to everything in the world of sports or entertainment. Good thing, the guys are here to bring you in case you missed.
It, and for that we turn it over to our executive producer, Lee.
Du lap Oh.
Good morning, everybody, picture incoming, Good morning Jonas, Good morning Brady, Good morning LeVar. Guys in casey miss it. Tough week for the Belichick clan. Of course, we all know about his twenty four year old girlfriend, Jordan Hudson. She was in the Miss Main beauty pageant this weekend. She had been runner up last year. Unfortunately she fell one behind. She fell in third place this week, which is nothing to be ashamed of. But this is how the voting turned out, just so you know, just so you know how this goes, you could actually vote for contestants online for a dollar apiece. First place went to Lexi Byork, who got thirteen hundred and eighty one votes.
So really this is just a money grab. Yeah, really like a real thing. It's a money grab. But go ahead, yeah yeah, yeah.
Well, Jordan Hudson did finish only with one hundred and forty six votes to go third. Second place went to a transgender contestant, Isabelle Saint Cyr, with four hundred and forty seven votes.
And and that was important to include transgender huh.
Well that's you know, I'm just reading the report here from the.
I'm saying it was important for them to include transgender.
And about time, I'm just yeah, so I think it was important.
Held, can I asked it? Controversial questions?
About time? Yeah?
I mean, what's the competition called Miss Maine?
Yes, yeah, not miss man, miss miss man? Miss you did so you did?
Wait?
Yeah, definitely right now.
If not everyone would call them miss Maine? Like is it controversial?
Win?
Like, how do you go about or how does that work?
M Well, she's now a miss That's how I guess it works. But also, was there a swimsuit contest Jordan lost to to what was formerly a man? That's what would hurt me a little bit more than just coming in third is that I lost?
I mean, I'm just saying, isn't part of it a swimsuit contest? Do you have any evidence of that?
I am efforting?
Hey, Lee, who did you say?
One? Come out?
Alexiuh?
Lexi Byork?
I was gonna say not Shelby Howell.
I'm seeing Lexi Byork with thirteen hundred eighty one votes.
But Shelby Howell, Yeah, named miss Maine USA.
Maybe that's what's coming up the old Google machine. Lee, how banged up?
Were you?
Was she even transgenderly?
But Daily Mail?
Don't I think you're blaming the Daily Mail for you read the article?
I mean a Lee, you confuse your dating preferences on your aft to the miss mat.
Miss man was standing over top of you.
Lee radulates the second place Todd.
Good?
Which bath of the way did Todd go through? I'm really going to do this?
Oh he sure did?
I feel like the girl who won m Shelby Howell. Girl is like the blonde version of Jordan Hudson. Yeah, tell me if you see that? Yeah I do.
It's like, sure the same girl's blonde hair.
Well you're seeing the same thing, right, She's for sure?
She I don't know what yeah, I am seeing Shelby as well.
Hey, what do you mean, he said, Lexi more?
You see the report I printed out? Yeah, they say Lexi York with thirteen hundred eighty one.
Okay, what what was there even a transgender in the run?
Yes, I am seeing Are you looking at you?
Are you looking at are you looking at bumble again?
Are you looking at back to last night?
What's happening?
I'm just reading what's off the clamor?
Did you get this weekend?
Saturday was good?
I don't remember Sunday too much.
No, Sunday was Sunday was calm, nice, calm Sunday. I was at the pool all weekend.
I mean, hey, look, I'll tell you.
F S R I R later.
All right, so listen. So that is the update? Wait?
Where is this coming from? Shelby Howe? Congratulations? Jordan Hudson finished third and a transgender may or may not have finished second. That's what we got here, either that or.
Or or Lee.
I was looking for the results on his bumble.
I see you're standing there with Shelby how Yeah, there she is, Shelby. How is the trans No, it's the winner. Who's the transgender? What's what's their name, said Isabelle Saint cyr.
M. Interesting. All right, yeah, oh whoa, whoa.
That's a good looking lady. No, no, that's Shelby.
Yeah, oh.
All right, what else we got lady?
Right? All right, guys, that got awkward.
In case you missed this, uh, kind of an old story, but just servicing Pro Bowl offensive lineman for the Packers, Elchin Jenkins uh reportedly got into a scuffle at the King of Diamonds strip club in Atlanta earlier this month. Him and his buddies got there, uh late in the evening, around eleven thirty pm. But we're disappointed with the quote unquote lack of action, feeling it was somewhat dead, therefore asking for a refund and then getting into a little bit of a scuffle slash quarrel with the club staff.
Uh.
Police were called and ended the uh the supposed quarrel.
No arrests were made.
And this is the King of Diamonds in Atlanta, that is correct. Interesting, It's weird that there'd be an.
So would you would you ever ask for your money back?
For you know, if you get into a club and just nothing's happening yet.
Maybe you're early in the evening. Who depends depends if you did a minimum and you had already like, you know, put which I don't really know all of the details about all stuff like this. I'm just saying if you were someone who were doing uh a, you know, kind of a VIP type of setup, and you did the minimum and you put your card down on it, and they held a certain amount of the money, and you went in there and you were like, yeah, this isn't what we were expecting. We want to go and they're like, well, you know, you have your minimum and they already have your card and information. Then that could be a sticky situation like that. I wouldn't just walk away from a minimum if they were charging me a minimum, if I were per se to be the one that went into a place like that.
You know what I appreciate about this kod Or King of Diamonds Atlanta is they think about everyone involved here, Like they even have a brunch coming up on September first.
Nice. I believe it's a.
Kisha cole brunch.
A nice.
So yeah, my guess is they had live entertainment. They must had something on Mother's Day too, probably.
Strippers of people too.
I mean that is true.
I'm not saying they're not. I'm just I'm just saying it's interesting to get the whole family involved.
Well, I'm saying are they Are they live entertaining during the brunch or Yeah? As being you, I don't.
Think it's just food hall. I think there's still some entertainment going on.
It looks like every Sunday. By the way, you can get my least favorite meal brunch. There ten dollars limited crab legs. And by the way, I said ten dollars unlimited crab leg crabs, So right, you can get I.
Bet you can get crab and got no meat in them.
You doing all.
Kinds of let's just let's just make sure you don't take the crabs home with you.
Yeah, well it's a different ones. Those are the many cousins of the blue Crab that you're speaking all those costers like these ones they're talking about a little different, you know.
Yeah, the menu's not bad though, Bruh.
Those places be having the bomb as chefs man, No, yes they do. Are you talking about.
You think Emerald Emeralds counter, Hey, guys, Bobby, Bobby.
The Michelin tires beyond some of these joints that you'd be going to before you go to just throw.
One tires with some white walls. I don't know what we talking about.
Hey guy, what do you know what a prime rim?
Come?
Look at arass the professional jonas. That's that's that's not how it works. I mean, this is what I've been told. I've heard that that they have really good fine dinings.
And look up, see how many of it on iron Chef.
Recently the Golden Lobster rolls one hundred dollars at this place.
There you go, one hundred dollars. I wonder why it's golden gold foil. Oh okay, all right, this is making sure lee what else we got?
Guys, in case you missed this, and I know I was trying to get you in on this. Last week was the SEC Softball UH Tournament.
And and we're all in on that.
Well, it came down to Oklahoma versus Texas A and m Well. SEC decided to declare them both co champions of the SEC Softball Tournament after the championship game was canceled due to inclement weather at game time and predicted for the remainder of the day.
They were both.
Had you got to play the game.
Yeah, well, they both had charters scheduled for later in the day, so they decided to just let them all go home. Oklahoma will serve as the conference's automatic qualifier to the NCAA tournament.
What co champions You gotta play the game? Remember when college football had played a game? Was it was it?
Miami and Washington were co champions that one year?
Was it ninety one?
How many teams get into the Softball World Series or whatever it is?
Lee, You don't know this. You read the story, you.
Know, well, this was for the SEC championship, specifically.
For the right, but it's for the automatic bid into the for the national championship.
Right, That wasn't part of the story. But I'm looking into that as we speak.
I know, I know eight teams made it from the Big Ten, which is sixty pretty significant.
Sixteen No wait, hold on eighteen.
Yeah, well, just so you know, the like lacrosse is only sixteen, so it could be sixteen.
Sixty sixty eight, Dad Dangle.
Well that's what it said.
I'm sorry weird to say that.
That was that was part of the transgender speech.
I was looking still, I.
Was looking into or I was reading all you go.
Would you be ok lexie or athlete justice leading in the softball championship? Would you be okay with that? I wouldn't be okay with I know when we there was a transgender athlete competing in the NCAA volleyball tournament, I was not okay with it. I'm not okay with that. Just just saying. I mean not to turn it serious, but I'm just saying I don't want somebody who was formerly a man like spiking the ball on my daughter who was, you know, formerly a woman and still I thought he was.
Security is why does it matter to you? League? None of these girls fit your profile? True?
I do see a sixty fourteen field that whittles down to sixteen regional, eight super regional, eight teams competing in.
Four Yeah, when it's probably a sixty.
When it's the World Series, it's eight teams competing.
Eight of sixty four. Still pretty good, okay.
I meant all right, I feel like we've done it here.
We have done it. Lee.
I gotta tell you, man, hey, we should we should do a long version of the case.
Miss it every day.
You shouldn't have that much.
Materially, there's a reason we condensed this to two minutes every day.
You know you gave out the wrong winner.
How did you get I found the original article.
They still have Lexi Buorick as the winner, who I've looked into and she's very deserving.
I don't know what happened.
Oh I put one dollar down.
So that you voted for Lee?
No, I mean, isn't just an indictment against Bill Belichick? I mean, shouldn't he have invested enough for herd Wayne far In Away.
You really want me to go in the rabbit hole here is like, please go where does.
If you're third place in Maine? Like, what does that rank? Let's say you go to a different state. Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like go to New York, go to California, Texas, Florida, Like.
Yeah, yeah, is that n A?
Is that n A?
I A.
That's what I'm saying. It's like there there could be you know, it could be some trouble there. I'm saying, Yeah, I.
Had to crossvices to get to you get a second round out that that top three? I mean, yeah, like what is what is that? You don't have enough? Good look at women? Y'all had to go, y'all had to go cross lines.
Like someone'd say cross streams.
Yes, all right, hey we need we need tend to compete. Everybody got long hair, you'll do.
You get in there, you'll do.
That's what I'm saying.
Is this more of an indictment on Maine or Jordan Hudson or like who who?
Is this more of an indictment on I.
Mean, she entered the competition. I think the minute she entered, that's an indictment on her. I mean, you got bigger fish to fry at this point.
I mean we should give an update.
Clario to have not heard Jonas, do you want to give an update as to the current situation of Jorge Hudson at the University of North Carolina.
Oh yeah, yeah.
She's not banned from the facility as reported that was reported before the weekend from Pablo Torre that she had been banned from the facility there in North Carolina came out with a statement saying, no, she's welcome here.
She's not banned.
So that's where we don't work here. We don't have her on staff, but she is welcome in the facility.
Like, Okay, I've never seen a story get so much run from people who like there's people that Florio's got an update daily about it.
Like daily, that's weird if you ask me, man who.
Like who cared?
Just move on?
Like I'm I want to know what it's going to look like when he's coaching at the college level.
That's what I want to know. I want to let me.
Let me play the other side of this, because I was talking to a buddy who's a big Boston sports talk radio fan, and there's guys who are invested there because they feel like it's about the legacy of Bill Belichick, and then it's about how it impacts his family. And there's more drama to this than many people realize, which is kind of interesting. Like we talked about the phil Simms, you know, number retirement and retiring it for Abdul Carter, and this somewhat falls in that category of Well, Bill Belichick obviously is living his best life. We're not judging him for that. However, we're not his family. And like my thing is always.
People will always say like, oh, don't be judge, but you can't judge people. It's like, well, if you're close, like you have family members or you have friends, who want you to hold them accountable. I don't they kind of asking you to judge them.
A little bit for how them could like the things they're doing and how they're conducting themselves.
Like otherwise, how can you hold them accountable? Like if someone says to you.
Like, this is what I'm all about, this is what I want to accomplish, this is what I want to do. When they start doing things that aren't going in that direction, do you not judge them and call them out and say, hey, dude, like you said this, but you're not your actions aren't doing this. And the only reason I bring that up is because I do think there's probably some family drama. There's probably some thought to how this will impact his legacy.
I personally don't think.
It will, Like this becomes one of those stories that I don't know how many people remember it besides those who kind of lived during that era to hear it. Most people when they think of like the greatest of all time, which Bill Belichick, is that, or at least in my opinion, is that most people only remember that. They don't remember like all of the other stuff that was off the field, And there's countless other players that you don't remember about some of their past discretions, you know, So I just I look at it from that perspective and think there is definitely a juicy, drama filled story here.
I just don't care for it. You know.
If you want to have that conversation about his personal life, that's on you, but that's not for me.
Respect him more now, Like in fact, I don't even think about Spygate anymore. Any of the allegations against the Patriots organization all all forgot.
Maybe maybe Spigy was misdirected, you know, maybe now looking back on it, it was really just he was the modern day version of the pervert.
At the beach with binocular.
Maybe the entire operation was just to try to find some Jordan Hudson's stands by the way.
I mean, And he did catch her. He caught her off of the pair, right, there's evidence of it. There's visual evidence he caught her.
What's amazing about this?
People people were too young now, they don't remember when you'd see those dudes, you know, perverts at the beach with binoculars, like what are you looking for?
Bird?
Remember remember that it's like whale watching? Oh yeah, yeah, they're right over there.
And nowadays everyone's got a phone so they can zoom in or do what ever. I mean, I've got some some buddies who like, trust me, they're always trying to take a photo of that incumbent incorporates something in the background.
Binoculars really were Yeah, if you were to go like that, the thing per capping, how many perverts binoculars?
It's like, oh man, I.
Can also they weren't hiding them. They were the small ones that used to see.
They're like the big, gigantic ones that looks like they could honestly look into the solar system.
Yeah, areola from like a mile?
Oh yeah, I'm god dang party socks with open toed.
Tivas? Is that what they call it? Tivas?
Oh my gosh, come on, little bit there he is. There's one right there that's ridiculous.
It is two pros and a cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. Man, Like, I'm laughing so hard my back hurts. It's crazy, is that right?

We start off our three of the program with a little bit of breaking news from the NFL.
Breaking news from Fox Sports.
The schedule release is happening this week and they are releasing bits and pieces of the schedule before Wednesday when they'll release the full schedule. And one of those bits and pieces they just announced courtesy of the NFL on X that week one the opener. The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Dallas Cowboys to start the season. So it'll be let's go Cowboys Eagles to open up your twenty twenty five season. There, and I'm currently efforting to see if I can get a line on that courtesy of our friends at DraftKings, because Philadelphia should annihilate them. That should be a total wipeout.
So we're not gonna have to wait there got George Pickens now, man, you know they got Dak Prescott coming back. You know they got cdee lamb. They're going to have a HAPPI paid, new, new, well paid defensive player in Michael Parsons. Yeah, Brian Schottenheimer's coaching, he's going to have all of their lockers reordered. And which, by the way, that got a lot of run. I mean a lot of people were really upset with me. Apparently I'm a horrible person for saying that veterans having a locker room or their own locker and maintaining their locker is a horrible thing. But hey, you know it's messed up. I've been called worse based off of worse things, you know before they came at you for that. Oh my god, No, I don't get it. Yeah, I don't get It's unfortunate, but you know what, they will be a better team this year. I'm garing. No, I'm not. I'm joking.
That was a joke, So it is going to be So Cowboys Eagles will be the game on Thursday night. Reportedly the Brazil game is going to be the Chargers and the Chiefs on the Friday night, so they're not waiting around like we're gonna go division on division to start out the the first couple of games of the NFL season. So that's the uh, away we go and and away we go for the Dallas Cowboys coverage to start out the year. So we're gonna get that to open up the NFL season. So again, that's the the news, the schedule release. They'll release bits and pieces of this throughout the course of the week, and Cowboys Eagles to open up the season Thursday night, September.
So going back to a philosophical discussion we had about the playoffs and winning your division and the importance of winning your division hosting a home playoff game. You guys remember kind of the rant I went on back then where I feel like your overall record should supersede winning the division as far as hosting a home playoff game. You win your division, you're in the playoffs, but you still have to stack up to other teams that may have a better record may plan a tougher division that aren't winning their division, But I digress. One of the reasons why I bring that up is it feels like the NFL likes to schedule early and then late divisional games because the importance of the division. Well, I would argue as a former player, and I even think, speaking for coaches, et cetera, like it's kind of tough to then play right out the gate a divisional game to start the season, as opposed to something that's maybe in week four, five, six seven, once she kind of gets your wheels going, especially considering no one plays in preseason anymore, you have less preseason games, so I don't feel like teams get their feet underneath them. They really start to settle in until about two three, four weeks in the season now, and so because of that, I kind of hate the fact that we've got Even though it's awesome, I love the matchup, I do hate the importance of what that game could end up meeting. I do think Dallas has a chance to be with some of the talent they have a playoff team. Philly's obviously the favorite to win the division. But I look at that and just say it kind of you know, if there's flud games that have all the time, Week one, all the time, and for like the number one overall seed the NFC, which is easier to get to the AFC, I'll admit that. But for Philly to try to get back to repeat, to try to which I think this roster is very capable of. You know, they lost Kellen Moore, so Kevin Patulo, who was their passing game coordinator, he's elevated into the offensive coordinator spot. And then they'll continue to divide up the run game coordinating parks phrases, and did their new passing game coordinator. So they've got you know, a little bit of change there on their staff. But for the most part, you know, this is a team that I think is a really good shot at repeating and having home field advantage, getting the buy all those things are so important, and having to play a divisional opponent week one. It's tough sledding, man. I mean, it's tough setting for a team in Dallas that maybe you guys look at them and say they're a fringe wildcard team, or maybe they're not even a playoff team in your mind, whatever the case may be. I'm just saying I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of seeing divisional games right out the gate. I just if they're gonna be that important, if that's how the league view them, I'd rather than be a little further into the season.
That's just my take.
It's kind of like we've talked about this before, you know, when like the big college football matchups at the start of the year, like you schedule those big power non con matchups, like when Alabama would play a USC or somebody like that to open up the season, Like, yeah, you're kind of working through stuff, So why would you schedule a conference game at that point if it's gonna have an impact later on in the year. And it's the same thing. The NFL actually hasn't scheduled this season opener as a division matchup in like five or six years, and it feels like a division game people are going to be all in on no matter what. At any point in the year you had other options. I'm just surprised that they decided to roll out Dallas this early like it, and maybe.
They but why, I mean, you're gonna have a tremendously large viewing audience.
You're gonna have that anyways, you're gonna have that anyways.
But maybe more so than than in other games. I mean, name another matchup that's gonna be competitive to that.
So the potential match matchup outside of the Division, the potential matchups for the Eagles could have been the Lions, the Bears, the Rams, the Broncos, and the Raiders like that.
They could have scheduled as the first game. Yeah, instead of putting in that first spot. Yeah, I mean that makes sense. You know, Detroit makes sense. I don't think any of those are bigger games than the Eagles Dallas game though, And I'm I'm of the same mindset that that Q just just presented to the conversation. But with that being said, there isn't a bigger matchup coming into it than that. And I will say this, who knows if Philadelphia is as good as they were this past year. Who knows if Dallas will be any good? So why not leverage what you can leverage out of that, in particular at its highest peak of interest, which could most definitely and safely be game number one?
Wouldn't you guys? If they were going to go division game to open up the year, I would have much rather be Washington than Dallas. Like the way that played out where they're jumping over the tush push all that stuff that played out in the playoff game. Washington's got all this optimism. They're one of the more exciting teams in the league.
It makes sense, and some would say historically speaking, that's a bigger rivalry game too, but I think in recent years Dallas and Philly have become more of the bigger rivalry game. And again, I don't know for how long Dallas will be relevant, you know, during the course of the season. So coming in no losses, no wins, I mean, you gotta believe that that's people are at the height of their excitement for Dallas coming into it. So I think it's you.
Gotta get him out of getting this good good before the reality before. How about this for an idea, all right, why not the opening game of the season every year? Now, this takes away from this segment and the announcement, but why not make it a Super Bowl rematch? And I understand that's hard to do because in the scheduling process there, Philly has to go to Kansas City at some point the season, we don't know when. And this has to be a home game for the Super Bowl winning team. But all I'm saying is it'd be pretty dope if they started off the season with a rematch from teams that played what seven months, six months priorate.
I guess should always be that.
That's what I'm saying, Like, wouldn't that be kind of sweet?
And then you see there's some you know, maybe carry over from the Super Bowl, some hard feelings. You can see which team has gotten better in the off season, some additions and as a measuring stick of what was a year ago.
Yeah, I would like that. I wouldn't have a problem with that at all.
I mean, I've read that I'd rather see that than than Dallas. I just I don't know.
Man.
For the record, I'm not I'm not poo pooing on Dallas like you guys are.
I'm not poo pooing on them. I'm just saying it's safe, it is safe to get them.
You're saying, for a ratings perspective, it's correct.
Correct.
I get that.
Yeah, correct, that's all I mean. You can maximize it like versus if you do a week seven or eight, you know, and it's like, dang, like Dallas really stinks you know, or it might have worked out. They might be you know, both teams might be in really really strong positions, might even be challenging for the division at that point. I don't know, but I do know you can't miss if neither one of them has a win or a loss on their record. Can't miss. That's a for sure. We're going to be excited. It's the beginning of the season. Philadelphia Eagle fans are are nuts. Dallas Cowboy fans are delusional, eite nuts. You bring the two together and you got a great first game to roll out to people. I like the idea even though it's divisional. If you don't like the fact that it's divisional, it feels kind of lazy.
Like last year you had Ravens Chiefs and like everyone kind of realized, yeah, those are two teams that are going to go places. This just feels like, well, it's Dallas, They've got a name brand will throw them on.
So I don't buy that. I don't think that's what They could be good this year? Jonas, Why you don't don't think that they have a chance to be competitive? They could be good. What if they come out in the first game and beat the breaks off of the Eagles. That didn't happen, But what if they do? Do we see flukes all the time?
Week one? Well, that is true all the time.
Didn't didn't Baltimore beat Kansas City in Week one last year? No?
Remember the uh was too far over the back end line.
That was close.
Yeah, that is right, that was close.
Oh, there you go. I don't know. You do happen, but there's always some surprises.
I would not be surprised if Dallas beat Philly in in Week one. I would not be surprised. You you just writing them off. I don't know why you're writing them off. There's no reason to write them off.
Jonah, I mean sticks picks.
So you're going to do. I wouldn't go that far as far as to say Dallas is going to be good. We played the I love them. I did not say that that That was not a representation of me.
She sh
