Best of the Week: 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe

Published Jun 21, 2025, 10:00 AM

This week on 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe, Dak Prescott wants a Super Bowl over legacy, but he’s already won in life. The Old P, Petros Papadakis paints a picture from Shohei Ohtani’s return to the mound, how painful the College Football offseason has become to cover and how the WNBA disrespects Caitlin Clark. Aaron Rodgers details the failed experiment that was his time in New York. Plus, Producer Lee shares questionable tweets and faces off vs a pack of coyotes. All that and more!

Is the best of two pros and a couple Joe with Lamar, airings and rating Winn and Jonas Knox on.

Radio Lee's got issues.

Oh geez, I don't even ask about that snow. I don't even play around with that that stuff no more. I'm not playing that.

I save that one for today. I didn't want to send that on a Father's Day.

No.

Check what.

Lee found a I don't know if this I don't know if.

This woman was on the the s S two C with Stefan Diggs. But uh, Lee found found a woman dancing on a boat somewhere on the water, and.

I just felt like there was a couple of things missing.

From them from the video that we saw.

Come on, what do you hear me out?

I don't see this. I don't see that.

After Jonas's now hear me out.

I don't see what you're talking about.

Here.

I'll help you out, yeah, Lee, So so what what do you what do you want to hear out?

Lee?

How do you want to explain this.

The whole new uh meaning to the word spinner?

Yep, good call, that's a good call.

We'll figure out a way to get a get LeVar up on game when it comes to uh comes to the lease, Uh, Lee's latest. Fine, But we'll just put it this way. Social media is a wild place at times. The things that you see with the invention of the camera phone and the camera video.

Completely over.

It's a scary place, bro, it is. It's a scary place because people are really people are really out here to get you. You know, I was talking to my son, like these younger dudes and younger people out here, they're understanding it. They're starting to understand it more now as well. It's like you can't. It's so interesting. It's like, Wow, technology opens you up to this brave, new, interesting world of entertainment and education. You have so many things right at your fingertips, like immediately, like things that you would have never dreamed of or imagined of when we were growing up. And for all of the positives that are connected to all of this this technology, I mean, the the scary things of it, the scary parts of it are crazy because you know, I did this thing on an just to test my theory. I did this. I did these social media posts same days, they were weeks apart, same exact content, same exact pictures, same exact It's the same exact thing with the same message on both of them, except one starts with it starts with a very very dark type of narrative. The other one goes straight into positivity right from the jump it's positive. From the other jump it's negative. I got almost seven hundred thousand views. I got crazy, crazy amounts of comments on the one that starts off dark and not positive before it gets to the positive, and people are like not even putting in context, you know. So both had the same message, and but the context was was maybe it was taken out of context because of the way one of them started. It's the same thing with everything that's going on with all of this technology, right, context can be lost so quickly, and to think if that context catches on, you could get canceled, like and and I don't know, and you don't know if there's any coming back from that, because companies aren't going to invest in somebody that's uninvestable, and so you put yourself in so many like there's there's so many things that you have to be aware of in today's like technology, in this culture, because people be really out here to get you, Like they'll see something and they'll take that and they'll use that and they'll try to use it against you, which is pretty evil. Like, I feel like social media is truly exposed how evil people truly are. Like you don't have to be a flat out like criminal to be an evil person, like some of you people out there, y'all are some evil hearted people. Man, it's crazy.

It's the old adage. Yeah, there's a hammer. It can be used as a tool or a weapon.

How do you choose you go?

How do you choose?

Like, which which end do you want to go with? I mean, that's that's just that's that's the way it's turned into. So yeah, it's uh, it is a wild place, especially right now in today's climate with all the other stuff going on.

So tread carefully.

Hey, but with that being said, But with that being said, lead the Lap definitely needs to stay the hell away from from anything that could be taken out of context, because it really is within context. No, I haven't don't. I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't seen it.

Just click the link.

I don't see it. Just nothing came through. You're talking about what you sent with the line on the top of the cocktail.

No, not that here, old on, I want to make sure this.

Yeah, that's all I see. We're just gonna take our time make sure I see it. Yeah, I did get it. I can't see it.

Well, I do know this. It is two pros and a cup of Joe. Here on Fox Sports Radio. It is black and Drag. Here Jonas Knox over Arrington, taking you all the way up until nine am Eastern time, six o'clock Pacific. Now, somebody who's always in the news because he's a member of the Dallas Cowboys. He's a quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys is one Dak Prescott. And Dak Prescott was asked over the weekend. Hey, listen, what about winning a Super Bowl? What about winning a Super Bowl? How would you feel about that? Let's take a listen.

I want to win a championship.

The legacy, the things, whatever comes after I've finished plan, we'll take care of itself.

Be damned.

If it's just for my legacy or for it's for this teams, for my personal being and for my sanity. Yeah, the legacy will take care of itself.

I have to stay with my feet up, all right.

I'd like to defend Dak Prescott here just for well, and I want to just be clear about something. He's never gonna win a Super Bowl, Like that's that's not happening. Okay, So look, but well I'm just I just want to.

Thirty.

I just I just want to I just want to make this point. Like listen, He's like, so those dreams are done. It's like I really wanted to play in the NBA when I was a kid, and then I realized.

I was white.

Yeah you know what I mean.

Like then all of a sudden, I cleaned my mirror with some wind Dex and I was like, oh damn, I got no shot.

It's like, although you got a white boys ball, like you guys a white boys yeah, the five.

So I can assure you that there's no white boy ball in my backyard.

That wouldn't happened at your house.

Huh.

So I just sort of realized, Okay, well is what it is. So let's try and find the positives. So Dak Prescott's never going to win a Super Bowl with the Cowboys is never going to happen. And I say, this is somebody who is actually in recent memory picked the Cowboys to win a super Bowl. It's over that ship has sailed. You can't even that ship is so far gone you can't even see it if you look out far enough binoculars, whatever you want to use, it's over. But there is a positive to all this, right because I feel like their best chance to win a Super Bowl is twenty sixteen. That was his rookie year. That was Zeke's rookie year. Everything was set up for him. They had a home game in the playoffs, they had the Packers, and Mason Crosby and Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy ruined all that, and that was really their best chance to win a Super Bowl. And we've seen what's happened since. But here's the good thing, legacy or not. If Dak Prescott plays out the remainder of his deal with the Dallas Cowboys by thirty five years old, he will have earned around four hundred and thirty six million dollars in his career. The Super Bowl can kiss my ass. Look the Lombardi Trophy, Hey, you guys have fun with that. I'll take my near half billion dollars in earnings as a Dallas Cowboys quarterback and I'm good with my legacy. Like, forget about Super Bowls. The guy's already won. He is already one. He is good to go. Deal with the criticism. He's just going to keep cashing checks for the rest of his life.

You know, I think once people comprehend and realize and I listen, I understand this whole fear market value deal. We had the conversation about Hendrickson and him getting compensated more but based upon his ability to get to the quarterback and lead in the league in sacks. But just like in this scenario here what you talking about, you start to realize when you're not playing the game of football, there's very few of us that transition into another gig that pays the amount of money you make playing the game. And I mean, like you could be you could be making really really good money in your post post career life and it doesn't compare to what you were making when you were playing playing the game of football. And so to me, it's like when all else fails, I'm not wasting a year. It's just me just just on the other side of knowing that. And listen, I like the work, so it's not that I need to It's like I just like to work and I like doing media, but still the idea of being able to generate, make a lot of money, do well for yourself, and and a profession that you're in. Man, the lowest paid cats in the league are highest paid cats in regular society. The lowest paids, you know, the minimum wage guys. They are pretty well compensated. It's not crazy money. But when you hear money like this, what Dak Prescott has made and has been able to be able to earn, you know, it's just you're proud of the fact that athletic ability can actually lead to you generating that type of income. And I take that at face value. I say, when somebody's able to get to a contract like that, it would be nice to have a legacy where you're remembered as a Hall of Famer or one of the greatest ever. But make no mistake about it, Like you said, Jonas, I'll be just fine hanging out poolside beachside, with my toes in the sand, doing what I want to do, if that's what I so choose want to do, you know, in my post career or even during my career. So you know, it's a lot of money, and there's a lot of reasons to be happy even if you don't get to the pinnacle of the sport.

Like, think about it this way. So he's thirty five, We'll just fast forward. He's thirty five years old and some Jay off in a Cowboys jersey starts, you know, giving him the business talking about, oh, you never won a Super Bowl.

You were disappointment. We should have done more, this, this, this, and this.

Like if you're Dak Prescott, you just look at this guy and go, dude, I'm not even forty yet and I've literally got four hundred plus million dollars in the bank. By the way, that's just careering, salary wise, endorsements, marketing. And he's a Cowboys quarterback. You know what that means on the back end of his career. We've seen what's happened with Cowboys quarterbacks going into broadcasting, former Cowboys players going into broadcasting. So this idea of well, you know, his legacy and what does this mean for Dak moving forward? The reality is they're not winning a Super Bowl while he's there, And I don't put that necessarily all on him. There's a lot going on. There's always chaos. It seems like there's always dysfunction. The way they handle the McCarthy stuff, the way they handle some of their other contracts.

If you're Dak.

Prescott, okay, sweet, I didn't win a super Bowl. Okay, you know what he so? Nick Foles has won a super Bowl. All these other guys that want a super Bowl, I've never been to a super Bowl. Okay, cool, I'm fine. If I want to, I'll just go buy a super Bowl. Okay, maybe I'll never go to the Hall of Fame. I could probably buy the Hall of Fame if I wanted to, I could probably buy.

I can't. So your point, to your point, there's probably more than enough dudes you could shake a stick at and they would trade the Hall of Fame for Dak Prescott's earning one hundred percent. Hey, do you still want to be in the Hall of Fame or would you trade it for four hundred million? I mean, how many of them dudes you think are in the Hall of Fame. That'd be like, uh, take that bus, melt it down, shove it up your you know what, I'm taking the money, you know. And there's some guys, now listen, there are some guys that are truly prideful, and there's not a price tag. You can't put a price tag on accomplishment. You you really can't, especially when it's it's something that you've done in your past. So there's something to be said about living in a place. And I know this because I'm in the College Football Hall of Fame. There's something to be said about creating a legacy, creating memories that you're fa family that you will never meet in the future. You'll never meet them. You will be long gone, you'll be far gone from here, but somebody will be saying, that's your great great great great granddad. You know that that was he did this, he did that. So to me, there's value there.

But damn four hundred.

Million, Lit's I got news for you.

I'm gonna have to think about it. I'm gonna have to think about it. Like, hey, great great great great great great unborn grandchild. Just know, great great great great great great granddad was really good at football. And if you don't, don't worry about it. But you know that that car that you're driving, that Tanka truck that you have, that came from the trust fund from your great great great great great great great granddad that set it up for somebody that was along the way, along the line to getting to you.

Listen, I don't look. I don't know my great great great granddad. I never met him. He might have been an alcoholic. I have no idea, but I know this, if he was a Hall of Famer, I'd be like, Man, that's awesome.

Can I get a hundred bucks? I mean I get Can I get some cash? Please?

You know, I'd like to pay my bills, Like, can I get some money? So yeah, I just I think sometimes sometimes and to your point on this, I think sometimes we get lost in this.

Well, he's got to he's got to win this. He's got to do that first.

It's like, no, man like the idea that you can play a kid's game and walk away from it, hopefully with all your faculties and with the amount of comfort that you're able to live with, not only for you, but all the people everybody in your orbit, all the family members, the people that struggled with you coming up. That's a win, man, Like, that's your super Bowl in reality. As much as people don't like it, that's what it is. In my mind.

You start to realize that when you're not making it anymore. Every once in a while, I'll be looking at my my life, my check stubs and stuff like that would be like w t F. I remember a time I looked at that stub and I just kept going zero zero zero zero zero. Now it's like there, Damn, that's it. That was it. That was it.

Hey, this printer at ink The one and only Petros Papadakis, the co host of the Petros and Money Show. You can hear on the Blowtorch A five seventy l a sports Fox college football analysts.

You can get them on x at the old.

P Petros Wednesday Morning Team Pop.

Good morning.

Hello, by the way, a happy belated birthday.

I hope birthday, my guy.

I hope you got got my text I sent you on your birthday night. I wasn't sure if you didn't reply, so I wasn't sure if you're upset.

About anything been on his friends. Listen, man, that's too bad.

You texted me.

I did you texted me?

Damn?

Joe just doesn't answer people's text or calls away from here either. Its radio.

Yes, yeah, since you ever opened really yeah here, it's unfortunate.

Thanks, by the way, I can't I'm.

Great, wonderful.

How did you celebrate.

I don't want to talk about it.

What's what?

Why do you want to talk about it?

What happened?

It's just I do AM radio and my birthday brings too much attention.

Oh all right, well hey that's a good reason for me. I mean, I'll leave it alone.

Yeah, that's fine, all right.

I know though that tell me, just tell me right now, act like you didn't tell me, you know about what your birth day?

How'd you celebrate? That's it?

I just celebrate it.

What'd you do if you don't?

Saturday I had lunch with my parents. Sunday I went to a Father's Day party at a friend's house, and Monday I had.

To go to the Dodger game.

Nice.

Speaking of the Dodgers, why did the U.

The head two?

Part was?

It became way too much because of the Otani thing, like we didn't know, you know, and we were doing the show from there and it ended up being great because it was a big day for the Dodgers. But I've never seen Dodger Stadium ever like that, ever, not for a World Series game, not for o Tani bobblehead night. I guess so Tani Bobblehead night, you know, people get there early to get the bobblehead. Or now they figured that they can't do their normal cutoff of whatever it is, twenty twenty five thousand bobbleheads. They have to give every single person that walks in there a bobblehead or they're gonna be a war in the streets because people line up early in the morning if not. So that's kind of a thing. But I've never seen Dodger Stadium where everybody is in their seat ready to go for first pitch because it's so hard to get in there.

It's such a process.

But everybody knew that he was only going to pitch in a one inning maybe two turned out to be only one, and the whole place was so anticipatory. It was very interesting. The other thing was they they don't play the organ or anything like between pitches when he's pitching, Like, I guess he doesn't like it.

Oh wow, So it's just like dead silent, dead silent, like golf.

While people were waiting for the next pitch. It was a very interesting dynamic. And you know what his walk up song is? Oh no, it's no big deal.

I would say, what's the guy? What?

What is that song?

Called Oh yeah, I got I forget his.

Name, Gundam style yeah style, Yeah, Well.

That guy's Koreas.

I mean, I wasn't trying to match him up. I just thought that that might be the.

Song that he liked.

Cigh, that guy.

I remember, there's a there's a there's a video of that crime guy because back then the Dodgers had Uh.

That's horrible, that's horrible.

It's okay.

The Dodgers had a Korean pit picture and they had that guy sigh and he was very popular, and they had that guy sigh dancing around at Dodger Stadium, and Tommy Losorda was still alive, and there's a great picture of Losorda just.

Like staring at that guy dancing around.

No.

There the song Showey a tony song is a Feeling Good, which is really old song.

It's from Mateen sixty. Yeah.

Huh good, yeah really yeah.

And the funny thing is is like, I mean, that's Michael Boublay, who's a relatively contemporary jazz singer, a Canadian idiot.

But good song.

It's a great song and it's old. It's from the sixties.

Walk out to.

Yeah, I don't know, man.

The soul and not only not only is that his walkout when he when he kids, you know, when he pitches. They played the whole thing, you know, so they were banging that. But that's an old song from a musical. I would encourage others to listen to the Nina Simone version of it.

That's a wonderful version of it, by the way, And that's that's probably the first jazz version of it.

I mean before that, it was like so many jazz standards. It was in a musical called Smell of the.

Crowd Simone has huh, Well.

Nina Simone is an interesting story. Nina Simone, a tall woman, was a piano player, very famous, well not famous, but very skilled jazz pianist at the time. And she was on tour and she went somewhere and the guy's like whatever. The promoter or the booker was like, hey, where is the where's there? Yeah, where's the singer? And they were like, well, we don't sing, you know, we don't have a singer. She just plays the piano. And they were like, if you don't have a singer, yelling and pain. So she started singing and she became you know what she is today. Nina Simone one of the great jazz voices of all time and a very unique voice.

She's gone now right, Oh yeah, she's been dead for a long gone.

She shot. She shot a child, her neighbor.

Too loud.

Yeah, she shot very good, LeVar.

She shot. I liked them feel like I know a few things like you, not as much as you.

But I'm not not a competition. No, but she shot me. You know, most people don't care about playing off of you though. Yeah, most people don't care about you know, dead jazz artists from decades and decades ago. But she shot a neighbor's child in France because the kid wouldn't shut up. And the funny thing was in France, they were like, it's Nina Simone.

It was a low caliber pistol, you know. But she is a volatile lady. The first song she sang was.

A very famous called I Loves You, Poor Ye from Poorgy and Bess, which is a very famous one of the very first operas American written operas, at least that we remember, by George and Ira Gershwin.

So Nina Simone.

With the Baltimore that's my favorite of verse.

Oh yes, that's a good one ye, we wrote that song. Randy Newman I think wrote that song. Are so but he very Yes, somebody weird that you wouldn't think of. I knew the guy that wrote I Will Survive. Hmmm, and he was a little old.

You think it would be like a big fat black lady, right, you.

Know, big old, right, old juicy one right like I first, you know, a.

Huge Yeah, the right I Will Survive was actually an old Greek guy with a big gray afro named Dino Fakis.

Well it makes sense these days.

He also wrote Reunited and it Feels so good.

Oh wow, that makes sense these days once again.

So so the Greek.

SOI was doing the warm up pitching and they.

Were playing the.

Then everybody got pumped. Everybody had a.

Real bone dignity.

Hey, why do they Why do the padres have such a red ass? Is it because they're they peaked and now they're starting to uh come all the way back down, So they're throwing at otani and well you know.

Uh, you get like after like a big event like that that only lasts like five minutes, you know, kind of like watching one hundred.

Meter final in the in the Olympics.

Yeah, there is a little bit of a letdown, like, oh, okay, we're still playing baseball.

You know when's he gonna pitch again?

Well, maybe an inning in a week, so okay, so you got to come on to the next thing. And the next thing is a nice uh well, they call it a bean ball war, but it's not really a bean ball unless somebody throws it at the other guy's head.

That's what bean balls are.

Uh.

And people have been nailed in the ribs or in the middle of the back, and they threw it at O Twi's leg. That was interesting, and then Dave Roberts went out there. Uh so that made it compelling. Yeah, Dodgers padres is a great modern day rivalry. It's not what the Dodgers Giants is. It doesn't have the great history of that. And the Giants are playing well, and they just traded for that guy from the Red Sox Devers and he's going to be good for them, so that's kind of interesting. The Giants are sort of popping up Buster Posey's doing making moves, But the Dodgers padres is a thing, and it's fun to watch Manny Machado and Tatis and these guys go at it with the Dodgers. But the Dodgers I think have won four of the last five, so they have their number a little bit, so maybe that's why they have a red ass.

But it makes it interesting.

I mean, we're talking about baseball here in the middle of June, and normally that's kind of a spin your wheels time for the sport and their stuff happening in La Shoeyotani's pitching, that's a big deal. So it's something to embrace this time of year and not as much have to lament usc status like I use do.

Which is interesting. I guess a segue from that is, I mean, obviously this isn't the seemingly which is crazy to think that we're not in a very very fast time for sports, even though you know, we got game what Game six coming up tomorrow with the NBA Finals, and to have these conversations the Stanley Cup just wrapped up, To have these conversations surrounding baseball at this time of the year with the championship rounds of other sports going on, like and if to be in La where you're you're locally covering these things at you know, such a close eye, how does that like does it feel different like from year to year. Petro's like, like, this time last year, is it different from where we're at right now today? Is it like more excitement. I think that's a good question.

But what's happened over the years is and we had a little bit of this conversation I think a couple of weeks ago or last week, and I've repeated a couple of the points that you guys made to people talking about him in season. You're hoping, if you're a sports league, right, you're hoping that you remain relevant throughout.

You know, something happened.

Somebody scores a bunch of points, somebody hits a bunch of home runs, there's a fight, you know, there's something something.

To talk about.

But part of the art of these sports leagues or whatever is keeping themselves relevant a year round on the calendar. Colin Cowherd had Jim Harbaugh on yesterday and Jim Harbaugh was at the Dodger game and he asked him about Shoe. Heyo Tani and he's talking. You know, it's the most animated he got in the whole interview, talking for two three minutes about how impressed he was with Shoe Heyo Tani. The NFL has become masterful and handling their off season, the draft, all of these different things, the Aaron Rodgers drama. Seemingly there's always always something to talk about, and you can be so stupid like ESPN and even put up a chirron that says, what's Dak Prescott's legacy right now? You know, I mean they're having these conversations in June when guys are running around with no pads and helmets on for like two or three days. I remember Basketball did a much better job for a long time. Remember when they're following Kawhi Leonard around Canada and screen helicopter. Remember when DeAndre Jordan was dating Doc Rivers' daughter so he could become, you know, stay with the Clippers.

You know, you remember they had the emojis, Like different players are posting emojis on Twitter trying to land de Andre Jordan and Mark Cuban went after Christisard afterwards.

Geeter McGee's doing videos about Andre Drummond like he's gonna somehow make a difference for the Lakers, you know, I mean, the off season things become a deal. And look at baseball when the Dodger signed no Tani. It was like a Japanese party. And then they signed Yamamoto Japanese party. They signed Roki Sasaki Japanese off season party.

By the way, I remember being on the air when I remember being on the air when Gordon Hayward signed with the Celtics, and and some guy from Utah called in and said he was driving across the state line to go buy booze because he was so depressed about Gordon Hayward.

Those are the good old days.

Yeah, but you know, like it's something to do in the off season, and I think we did you make this point.

I mean, college football's offseason sucks. Oh, college football's.

Offseason has become like the worst thing ever. It's become something so unsavory that nobody even wants to deal with.

You know, the.

Transfer portal makes people sick, The NIL makes people sick. All the different confusing conference changes, and everybody's suing each other.

Every commissioner is campaigning for their conference to get more automatical, and.

Every commissioner and the SEC is campaigning to leave the NCAA, which is inevitable. I mean, you know, it's just not as fun as DeAndre Dordon Jordan and Doc River's daughter.

That's a fair point.

Like I'd almost rather listen to Steve Kerr and Popovich bitch about politics, and I don't want to hear those guys like, you know, I mean, you guys are basketball coach, Like what's going on?

Like seriously, why do you have to do that?

Like it's like a press conference, like you're sitting in the White House, like give it a presser?

So what do you think about this new policy change? We'll let me tell you. Thanks Steve Kerr.

So, you know, I mean, it is interesting how how damaging our off season is becoming college football. I don't really think it effects when the game start. I think people get really excited like all of us and want to see what happens. And when the teams put are put together, then that's it. It should be it and we should play. But they've got to figure out a better offseason because everybody else has it figured out way better than we do, even punk ass NBA.

Yeah, time, that's interesting.

Well we have is Lebron's podcast, you know this time of year, so wait for him to say something stupid and then you know we have to make twenty minutes.

Out of it. He's coming back.

Well, his podcast came back the other day.

Is he coming back?

Oh?

I don't care as long as he says something on this podcast stupid and we can make fun of him for ten minutes with Steve Nash yesterday the low energy podcaster Steve Nash out of the South Bay by Way of Canada.

Lebron said the A all.

B all like A and B like the letters in the alphabet as opposed to the end all be all, you know, because he's trying to sound smart a lot, and I got him like ten minutes.

Out of that tang.

Hey, I even say it like Andre Nicotina A y'all, B y'all f around with A y'all all up in my knees. All must have been crazy, y'all.

That's really good. That's that's like a really fire bar right there, Bro, Thank you.

What's Andre Nicotina AO for? Yo?

Hey? What was the name of the woman you mentioned earlier that that shot that kid, the tall woman who was Simonnina Simone? Speaking of tall women, what do you make of the treatment of Caitlin Clark by the w n B A and the rough housing that is going on?

Can I admit a guilty pleasure? Yes, you like it.

I watched Kaitlin Clark highlights.

Hey, like when the fe over, Like when the game's over and I see the Fever have played, you know, because it pops up somewhere Caitlin Clark hits eight point shot, you know, or something like that. I go back on YouTube. I mean there's a they do an incredible job on YouTube.

Yea they do.

You know, those things are up ten minutes.

The people that cut highlights, they're up ten, fifteen, twenty minutes after the game is over. Sometimes Quicker and I watch the highlights. And last night I watched the highlights of her game. I was like, where's the whole fighting? They only cut out They cut out all the mid parts. They only showed people making shots. So I had to go back and look at that as well.

They didn't show any of the rough housing.

Well I found it. Oh yeah, but I didn't know that.

They call the three white chicks that play for the Indiana Fever trace La Chase.

Did you guys know that?

I know they look like they're pretty good looking girls.

Somebody did mention that trees.

Stand to one of them from Stanford and one from Miszoo. Sophie's yeah, she's from Missoo. The other one is from Stanford Hall or something, and then the other one is.

Is Caitlyn Clark. And they all are pretty white, you know.

I mean Kaitlyn Clark's really white, like she never left the gym, like you could tell, like she's translucently white and uh and they call them the transle That's interesting. The one thing I really am impressed with Caitlin Clark I think when I watch you know, I'm no, I'm not you know, Nay Smith or anything, but I watch a lot of basketball and we do sports. Is just I mean, the way she sees she sees the floor and the way she distributes the ball is really the wildest thing in the world, which makes her so hard to deal with because you try to double team her because you know she's going to try to get that shot off and she finds people like, you know, it looks too easy, and it's pretty amazing. I love watching her, and it's I mean, I hate to be such a bandwagon guy because it's not like I was like, oh my god, I wanted to watch this. I n s Schoo tape, you know, or I wasn't watching you know, Sue byrd Or. I mean, I came from usc where Cheryl Miller is a legend, and I watch a little Juju I guess before her leg fell off in the and that was tough to watch.

But but yeah, I watch her.

I'm I'm on the hype train, you know, and I have been for a couple of years. I've been watching her highlights since maybe her senior year in Iowa or her junior year, and I just I love to watch her compete.

She's great, she really is. I wish I could say something.

Snarky, can I can I ask this to you? You say you watch that, because that's exactly you kind of said it exactly the same way I said it. Am I off. I know Jordan didn't shoot like like Caitlyn Clark shoots because it just wasn't the necessity back then. But everybody tries to make the comp of Angel Reese and Caitlyn Clark and put them together and say that's the comp is bird Magic and Caitlyn and Angel Reese. I think the comp from what I'm seeing and how she's getting banged up but still trying to figure it out still producing her points and still adjusting and adapting is to Jordan. And I know it might sound crazy, but when you really think about it, when did you have a player that hit met the caliber of what Michael Jordan was to the NBA when he got there? And what has that been posts Jordan? Right, yeah, there's.

Nobody, there's way, yeah, there's been nobody where you're just like this person is, you know, six feet above sea level and everybody else is under under the water, all right, you know, and and and in the sports pantheon, I mean it reminds me of you saying, you know, running one hundred and the two, and I mean.

He's winning, Yeah, he's win corns. Yeah he's winning.

But he's also fifteen or ten meters faster in one hundred meter race than the other ten fastest guys on.

Earth, which is crazy.

That's stupid, Like you're not supposed to be that much better than everybody else.

Those guys are hauling ass.

I mean, it's not like he's out there running against the West Torrance sprinting team. No offense to the Warrie. So that's kind of what it like. That's like I saw something Dominique.

Well, we talk.

It's so crazy that Michael Jordan played so long ago comparatively to how much stuff, like most stuff we mentioned from Michael Jordan's era to anybody that's not you know, your age or around there, they don't know it. You know, they don't ever seen, don't know what the gobots are. You know, they got no love for Mask. You know, they don't understand the real characters of G. I. Joe, like Zartan, Yeah, come on, Auber Commander baby. Yeah, they could tell you what happened between Jordan and the bad boys.

Right, are you talking to Mask Eric Stoltz?

Are you talking?

No, I'm not talking Mask Eric Stoltz, the modern day Ellen fant Man. I'm talking the toy Mask anyway, exactly.

No one remembered with Jim Carrey.

No, no, like that was that was like that was a cartoon called Mask, and it was like this giant mechanical mask and a sweet car would go around it and the dude would kick ass and the mask.

See. I think that that was misleading though, because I know, but that's.

What I'm saying.

It makes my point that people don't remember anything from that era.

There was the kid in the movie that ended up like, you know, passing away at the end of the movie. That share was the mom like, here's.

That he looked like Brian Scalabrini or boiler alert.

Yeah, he did look like Sky Labren.

Yeahction, I don't care about spoiler alerts.

So you go, you go. You know what I'm just saying.

You know, if you're gonna I mean, it's a thirty year old movie. If you're gonna say the guy that big hit.

It boy dies at the end, it is what it is. He did and he did he gone so to the elephant anyway. Yeah, that was a really sad movie.

Man, Yes, no doubt. So what I'm saying is.

Super sad movie man.

Like Michael Jordan's the only thing any of us, anybody remembers from that era.

We don't remember a lot of the stuff, and.

It's because Jackson had the Elephant Man's bones.

He did.

Yeah, Dan could have used a.

Couple the Elephant Man's name. I believe Joseph Merrick or John Merrick. Anyway, it is important to understand that Michael Jordan is so transcendent that no one ever says anything else about anybody else from any other air. I remember Dominique Wilkins saying the other day, like people don't understand what it was like competing against that guy, Like we were great, but his eyes were red.

He was crazy, you know.

And and I think that's what you know.

I mean, I think you're right.

You're looking at somebody who's who's must watch television every time she's playing basketball for basketball types. And I think Kaylan Clark, I think that would be the comparison, you know, much like me to some other stiff white running back.

Would Petros. It's always fun.

We appreciate it, thanks for doing it, and we will have this conversation again next Wednesday.

Here I helped you and shout out to Isabel at the group home and woke up early out at Annaho.

Oh yeah, at the old pon x Is where you can find him. Always a fun ride here with Petros Papadegus n co host of the Petro Some Money Showing a Fox College Football analyst.

It is Two Pros and a Cup Joe here on FSR.

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 am Eastern three am Pacific.

By the way, I know we were.

We were kind of giving Lee to Lapar, executive producer, our hard time last hour. It should be pointed out that we're lucky to have him here today because he was nearly eaten alive by a pack of coyotes.

Uh straight pack that he.

Sent over video evidence.

Lee like twenty of them mother lovers.

Lee's hanging out in his car at a pack of five coyotes roll up to him.

Lee what like?

So this was actually, uh, coyotes like booze that much.

Lorena actually with the assists saved me on this one. I was giving her a ride to the Burbank Airport and she was parked behind me, and she's and I was like.

The way they talk about each other is so crazy. Bro got they don't end up married good.

Well, she just she or actually she called me. We were in separate cars and she says, you should probably look up. And I look up and there's fire. There's a coyote look at me right in the face.

But why would you be looking down? I was on my car.

I was on my phone as everyone does. No, it was no as you can see in the video. I said, you we were all we were both parked part in the neighborhood, and I was, uh, you know, I was there before she was. I was just on my phone waiting for it so that I could give her a ride to the airport.

How does she know to tell you to get your head out.

Yeah, she pulled up behind me and she said, uh, look up.

So you guys are like Shador and his girlfriend.

Gets sound and it sounds just as incongruent as that story. I guess. I was, yeah, look up and see all these coyotes from behind, like you would not make it in a horror flick. Lee. You just taking a.

Guess, which, by the way, that is a big safety uh tip to everyone out there. They always say, don't stop U people a getting targeted who are on their phones in their cars because everyone just sits in their car and looks at their phone and stuff like that.

People are going out.

Oh that That's one of my big pet peeves that people will pull up to a house and just still be scrolling on their phone. Like I can understand if you're listening to something on the rate like a lot of you know, this show does that for a lot of people, they want they want to listen to the end of a segment so bad that they're willing to sit in their car and listen to the.

End of it.

But there's some people who just pull up and will just continue to scan on their phone. Get out of the car, just do it inside. What do you got better Wi Fi? And you're in your civic get out and just go inside.

Why are you hanging out.

In your car unless you know you're you're you're doing some shenanigans, which that teach their own. But Lee's just minding his own business and he's got five coyotes rolling up on.

They Maybe that's what the coyotes wanted in all the fun.

It depends on who you are, you know. But there's been Yeah maybe, but yeah, it does you know, beg the question. You know, there was that thing that was popular a few weeks ago where it was can one hundred men kill a gorilla? A silver back gorilla? Can one lead to lap kill five coyotes?

Easy done? All you gotta do is take out the first one and then they're scattered.

Yeah, I don't know, man, Oh, give me a chance.

Is considered to be a pack. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't know. You probably get some good licks off on them, like you know, a couple of kicks here and there. But if they keep, if they if they pack you out, that's going to be a hard one for you to win because they're going they're gonna bite you up pretty good.

No, I have confidence in myself. My question would be would I be able to defend because I got two little dogs that I let into the front yard?

Oh those are no, Yeah, those are sacrificed for the.

Yeah, cause, yeah, exactly Can I Can I defend I defend two dogs that gets a pack of coyotes?

No, because you you can't defend yourself, Lee. That's why I'm trying to tell you. I know you could be confident in you, but five coyotes and they didn't They weren't small, No, they were healthy too. There were a couple of them that were pretty Bigley.

Send the video out on social media so people can see why you nearly were eating a live by the odies.

A couple of them bad boys was pretty big, man. I just don't one or two, Yes, you can defend yourself. Five that's too many, bro.

By the way, what a story.

So how do you go?

Five coyotes got him. He was drinking.

He was drinking out of a flask at eight fifteen in the morning, and five coyotes rolled up and took it from him and then ate him alive.

I got out after this video and confronted one of them.

They didn't do anyth they didn't like.

Skyway fronted one of them. Well, they're they're you know, they're flighty. You know, they're more like foxes than they are like wolves. Like they're not They're not going to you know, they're not going to engage you unless they felt like they needed to engage you, Like if they were hungry, like hungry hungry, they might they might pack you out.

Bro, you gotta be carried.

Don't be taking that light.

Bro.

By the way, I thought I thought coyotes were just a California thing.

They're in every.

State, They're everywhere.

They're everywhere everywhere, So everybody's got a problem, especially when the weather gets warmer, because they don't want to take their animals out during the day, so they take them on walks at night, and the coyotes just lurk and they're just waiting for something.

Small.

Somebody to be dilly daling on their phone. Leash gets away from them and next thing you know that coyotes chewing on your poodle. That's how that works.

So there you go.

Good luck to all the poodles and puppies out there.

Man, So you got to get get a real dog. You don't have those problems.

Unless it's a skunk.

But it is. Show does not have great luck.

U Raccoon Craft and Brady's pool LaVar got skunked, and Lee got attacked by coyotes.

Me and mister Sticks got skunked. He got it bad. It was all in his mouth. He put that stink in that my my baby's he put it in my dog's mouth.

Pause your mouth. Wait, we do have we?

Lee has sent out the tweet I believe is it at Lee to lap is where they can find that. That is true social media, so so you can see for yourself why Lee nearly was eaten by coyotes. All right, So, uh, speaking of issues, the New York Jets had some issues over the past couple of years, and uh the quarter the quarterback with the New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers, apparently was vocal about these issues.

Uh.

He and Mark Schlere Fox Sports One host are friend ends. And Mark Schlareth was talking about a situation Rogers was venting about in New York on his Stinking Truth podcast Let's take a listen.

One thing that Aaron and I had a conversation about when he was with the Jets was how abysmal their running game was and how schematically it made no sense.

And I brought up the conversation.

I started the conversation, and then Aaron went on for about a twenty five minute diet tribe on just their run game. I asked Aaron about it, just about the run game in general, and I said, man, this is like.

It's really bad.

And he went on this diet drive just about you know, the dysfunction of what we're trying to accomplish and all these different things.

And so apparently Rogers, even while in the mix there in New York, was not happy about some of the the decision making, some of the ideas on how to how to fix the run game, so on and so forth. And just the more that you hear about this time in New York for Rogers and everybody involved, the more you realize that was just an awful idea like that was an awful idea. His chance to succeed in New York ended four plays into the season when he first got there.

It was over.

Because then everybody's timeline was off. He was out for the year. It was going to take him into the very next year to try and get back to full health. And by that time there had already been a coaching change and all sorts of crap going on with the Jets. That moment when he went down with the injury, it was a wrap they were never going to get. You needed everything to be perfect, You needed the timing for everybody to be perfect. With a coach potentially on the hot seat and a quarterback this late in his career, and four plays into the season, the timing got thrown off and it was a mess ever since then.

It was never going to work after that.

Who was that making the quote talking about it, markschlairth March I just you know, for me, I always think when when bad mouthing of an organization or of a quarterback, excuse me, a coach, whatever it may be, when that comes out after they've left, I just find it to be disingenuous. I find it to be convenient, and it doesn't hit the same It just doesn't. If you had these these feelings, and you had these these conclusions and these thoughts, then let it out, let it be made known. Because after the fact, it's late. There's no reason to give us, you know, that type of information and and that have to be disseminated because conclusions have already been been written, they've already been been drawn that it's already happened. So I just feel like the Aaron Rodgers experiment in New York did not work and it's over. Like what happens next? Does Justin Fields make this New York Jets better a better team? Does Aaron Rodgers make the Pittsburgh Steelers a better team? Again? This is why the National Football League is the greatest reality TV show that has ever existed. Oh, we put Aaron Rodgers in one of the biggest media markets in the country, in the world, and it didn't work out. But you know what, Hey, let's put them in a different media market. Let's see if it works out in Pittsburgh. Oh, now we can cross reference and bring that back and wrap it into New York City. Oh, we brought in Justin Fields from Pittsburgh. He didn't get it done in Pittsburgh. Let's take him out of that market. Let's put them in New York. Now we got a cross referencing of stories. How did this work? One side may do better, one side may do worse. One player may do better, one player may do worse. Both players may stink, both players might be great. No matter how this all plays out, the storyline still exists to be able to write them in a very entertaining way, which is why the NFL continues to win.

Do you think because the way Mark Schlaer kind of laid it out was he reached out to Rogers and noticed that there was some questionable decisions as far as their scheming goes with the offensive line, and then Rogers went on to vent about what it is that they were doing. I just so, I don't know if it was necessarily Rogers airing out the organization so much. I think he did a lot of that on the Pat McAfee show.

And he's he's.

About to say he has aired him out. Yeah, that's not that won't be anything anything new, but go ahead.

I just.

Like we've seen this before to where like when the cole tired Jeff Saturday.

It was like, Wow, this could be cool.

We were on the air, I think that was our first year doing the show together when the cold tired Jeff Saturday and it was like, well, let's see how this works. Let's see how this works. Because this is a bold, different approach. It doesn't feel like it's gonna work, but let's just see. And they win the first game and you're thinking to yourself, man, maybe the Colts knew something. And then upon further review, the idea was preposterous. It just didn't like.

It just it just didn't like it was never gonna.

Work because the timing of everything, like you're asking a guy to walk off a TV set and take over a team that he hasn't been around, Like it was never gonna work. But it didn't take until afterwards where all of your initial thoughts were confirmed. And when Rogers joined the Jets. I think I speak for a lot of people where it was Okay, it's Rogers, it's the Jets. We've seen this with Farv. It didn't work with him, It's never seemingly worked with any quarterback with the Jets. But let's give it a shot. And literally running out with the American flag on Monday Night Football and four plays later.

It was over. He was he was after that? And you know this from going through the Achilles injury.

When did he look close to himself? Even last year?

I mean, yeah, I was geeking out was going to come back this season? Watch how I'm so excited for this gave you and c. If anybody can do, it's going to be Aaron Rodgers. He's coming back. Did you hear that he's coming back. He was on the field before the game warming up? Is he going to suit out?

And now that you look back on it, now that I'm taking like taking a step back and I'm hearing him vent to Mark Schlaert about the run game and all these other I just realized, Man, that was it. I remember where I was watching it when he went down with the injury. I remember thinking to myself, of all, God, there's no way it's going to be over this quick, but then thinking well, maybe he'll come back that year and maybe it'll be a bounce back year the year after. It's like, no, the timeline got thrown off completely. You needed everything to be perfect. You had the coach on the hot seat, you had an organization who was desperate. You had an owner who was desperate. You had a quarterback who wanted to prove people wrong and move away from his previous organization and do what the guy who preceded him did in Brett farbre but do it differently. And four plays in Gone, all but Gone, I completely wiped out. And it makes me feel dumb that I was thinking this entire time while Rogers is in New York, like no, no, no, but maybe but and.

It just dysfunction after dysfunction. It was just it was never gonna work. The parents crazy.

It is so like this is like a one sided rant going on right now, right like we're talking about if from Aaron Rodgers' perspective, imagine how you felt.

If you were in the New York Jet.

Oh my god, like you got some nerve to be talking about our your frustrations about us?

What about us?

Aaron Rogers, you ever stopped to think about the pain and heartache you caused us? Take some cotton dorm responsibility over yourself.

It's just like you, mother, lover.

It's like two hot heads dating each other, Like you got two hot heads dating each other's where'd you guys meet at a bar drinking. Oh well, yeah, everything will be fine, and they get married. It's a shotgun wedding. They get married, and then you know, five six months later, oh yeah, it didn't work out.

No way, you.

Don't have your wedding ring on, so oh you don't say, it's like, what's going on here?

How's the missus what?

That's why, that's why I truly believe that Rogers in Pittsburgh will be better than Rogers in New York, just because that situation was.

Never gonna work, like, it was never gonna happen.

Well, let's be clear here, Mike Tomlin knows he needs to have a good year. There's no I mean, there's no mistaken. He doesn't need a crystal ball or somebody to tell him. He knows going into this he needs to have a good year. Rogers feels the same way, maybe doesn't feel as much of a sense of urgency as it applies to what he needs to do, just based off of the fact he's already had a first ballot Hall of Famer career, but he's still playing, which means that he still feels like there's something to prove. And so you take that and you add in the element of Mike Tomlin seemingly having a very very strong, domineering type of personality and the way he runs his team and how this thing is all, you know, kind of constructed in Pittsburgh, it just appears that Aaron Rodgers, while he will continue to still be a lightning rod and still be a major topic of conversation from the media, it just seems like this would be the right place where a coach can handle the type of person and the type of elements that come along with Aaron Rodgers being on your team, and that could pay dividends for both the team and for the player. But it could also end very very bad. I mean, it also has the potential of crashing and burning very badly as well. So again, it's reality television and it's must see TV. I know I'm gonna be locked in.

Oh, I can't wait.

I'm gonna be locked I can't wait.

And it's also kind of leading to what you're saying.

It's two entities who've been through a lot of crap the past couple of years, dealt with a lot of crap, and they're probably like, look, can we just play ball? Like I just want to play ball. I just I want to go out. I want to play ball. I want to have an understanding of what it is that we're doing, and I don't want to deal with all the chaos like that's it. And I think that's probably good news for the Steelers who are probably hoping for some good news and you get justin Fields week one.

It's great, good for the NFL.
