A football Friday here on two pros of the Cup of Joe. I didn't expect a remix. That was fantastic. That's pretty fired. Now that one right there. That's pretty fire. DJ Berto on the ones and twos. Yeah. That is a keeper. By the way. That's the... That's the... That's... That's the... We're going to dose by the way for the... There you go. We'll study up on the rest, man. You'll... All right. So here's what we know now. The Celtics have not won... Not Uno, but dose games in this series. Oh, okay. And it's now 3-2. Well done. The Miami Heat are leading the Eastern Conference Finals and the Celtics with another double digit win last night. Kind of pulled off the gas late. The final score. Don't let him win. Don't let him win. Don't let him win. Just saying. Like things are getting a little bit spicy there in South Beach. Are people getting nervous there Brady or what? Well, I think actually I'd like to focus more on the Boston side of things. We tend to actually in some of these losses. We tend to only talk about the team that lost. Because there was someone who I think when this series was 3-0 was calling for Joe Mazul's head. Or maybe they were saying that the Boston Celtics fans were. So sort of revisit that conversation. Yeah, LeVar, where are we at? Yeah. Where are we at? The whole head coach Joe Mazul, the job he's done. He was supposed to be being out coached. Maybe he's not. And now how are we looking at the series as being 3-2? Well, I think as you figured it out yet, is he still getting canned if they lose this thing? I think Joe Mazul is clearly a listener to this show. Because the first thing he wants to do when he comes off a playoff loss in which he gets out coached and embarrassed is turn on two pros in a cup of Joe to see one went wrong. I mean, we are the first major show of the day. That is true. Yeah. So I feel like Joe Mazul outed himself. He does listen to this show because there has been some adjustments. And I feel like as it stands right now, his job is probably safe. Now, if they go out in game 6 and get the doors blown off by 55, and he goes to call a timeout and has none left and it's just a disaster, that's still back on the table. But he has made some adjustments. Look, we talked about this one. Remember when every time the Celtics would go on a run early in the series, Eric Spolster would call a timeout quick. And the criticism of Joe Mazula was he never takes that approach. And players talked about it on his team afterwards and said, yeah, Joe's thought is we got to dig ourselves out of this. And now you're seeing in the last couple of games, if the Celtics have a lead and Miami goes on like a four or five or run, he'll call a timeout right away. So I think he's listened to this show. And I think Joe Mazula, a fan of this program and the adjustments are clearly evident. And that's the proof and the putting there. And that's why his job is safe. So you're welcome, Joe. You know, me and Joe have the same birthday. We share the same day. So I have a soft spot in my heart for him. But on a professional level where you break down and you look at things and you contrast them and you try to figure out what is taking place, he has made adjustments. He has put this team in a position to climb back into the series. And that was the first thing I was thinking last night when I was watching the game is Mazula has to be given the type of credit for us on this show that we were given Spolch Shur early on in the series, you know, because we'd look at how well the heat came out and how they were able to just take control of the series the way that they did. I would say one Brady Q said that it could turn into a series. You know, you never know. You still won in Miami. You get back to Boston and then you have two there and then you got to try to finish it out in Miami. They are positioning themselves nicely to be able to do so. And it's probably not just the X's and O's and schematics and adjustments that Mazula is making with the team during this series. But it's probably the things that they're talking about as well. You know, because in the end, you can say it's coaching with the Celtics in this series early on, but it's really been a lack of good play about a player. Yeah, it helps. And when the Celtics are hitting from the outside, they're tough to be. They're tough to be. They're tough to be. It's like they're a different team when they're dialed in and they're making baskets. And last night's game made me wonder and made me think these guys being on, is it attributed to something? You know, when they're off, is it attributed to something? Is there a lack of focus when they have those type of games? Charles Barkley said it best. They're front runners. Like when they're rolling, they're rolling. And the second thing is start to go in a different direction. They fall apart. Well, so they like to play with the lead. It's basically what you're saying, right? Yeah. If they don't help things start off, that's how it's going to dictate. That's why they certainly fight against the game. Yeah, they struggle and take games late. The thing that bothered me the most about a narrative about Joe Missoula was, I mean, you're in the Eastern Conference finals. And you, if you're a player and you can't get up for that moment, if you can't get focused for that moment, if you can't figure it out at that point, I don't think any coach is going to be able to help you. I'm sorry. I really don't. And so I think, you know, if you made a big deal about Joe Missoula at that point and you thought he should get canned or they need to evaluate that, if that was the case, then you surely should be reevaluating the adjustments that they've made and attributed to him. But I was never a fan of that really thought process anyway. Like, I think it always falls in the players and it should in that regard. So I'm not sure what, you know, Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown and the rest of the crew has done outside of a few maybe schematic things they're doing against Miami's defense. But I mean, they've been on. I mean, the past two games, they've been lights out and that's usually a pretty big difference nowadays. The NBA in general, the team that shoots three is better is going to win. Miami hasn't taken care of the basketball either. That's, you know, that that's been a little uncharacteristic for them. But they didn't have game events the last night. They go back now to Miami for game six. And you and I think Chuck said this too. And it's, you know, it's it's the truth. This is it. If you're Miami and you don't win at home game six, there's no shot. You're going to win game seven. And if I'm not mistaken, Jonas, Miami's not favored again at home. I think they're a three point underdog last time I look. Yeah, last night when it came out, there were three point underdog, still a three point underdog at home in game six. So if it plays true to form, that means we're setting up for game seven. This is a daunting task for Boston. No, that's bad. This is daunting. It's not to go four games in a row. I mean, I know we just saw two teams get swept, but to play and lose three games immediately out the gate and then come back and win four straight. That's a daunting task, man. I mean, you know how much of an epic fail it has to be for Miami to allow this series to get away. They got the cats. They'll be fine. Come on. They got the big. We do have the cats. Yeah. Come on. The cats play the Stanley Cup, baby. Yeah. They transition smoothly over there. They got the barlin. Yes. I mean, here's the thing is that series. I mean, we can discuss what if it is going to be Vegas versus Florida. I mean, wow, you imagine back and forth, the amount of boogers, sugar. Oh my God. I'm just saying like you like how many media members do they can raise their hand now going? Hey, I'd like to cover the Stanley Cup final. I can go from South Beach to Vegas. I would like to be a part of that for the tired two weeks. Yeah. They come back and it's a really different person. Just just make sure you're talking about Negro leagues or anything like that because you might get caught up with the boogers, sugar. Oh, geez. Yeah. Geez. Can I just keep it the basketball? You know what I mean? How the hell did that come up? Oh, I was just thinking, you know, boogers, sugar and being on air that sometimes it just don't mix, man. You start, you start getting caught up and you slip up and you say things that you didn't necessarily mean. Are you talking about it? I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah. You said to that the NBC do you hear about that? Are you talking about the A's announcer? The play. No, the dude that just the dude that just got fired. Yeah, the A's announcer. Just a A's announcer. Is that what it was? Is that what it was? Yeah. Okay. All right. Yeah. He, uh, well, you're saying he was on sugar. Yeah. Well, I don't know. I was trying to give me. I'm trying to give him a way out. I'm trying to give him a way out, man. You know, hold on. Hold on. So you're trying to say if you immediately go to I've got a drug addiction. They're like, Oh, we forgive you. Yes. Back on air. Yes. LeBarr's live light is narcotics. It's nice. Yeah. Everybody take this. It'll save your career. I've never heard that before. I mean, that's, that's, that's what I thought. Hey, look though, that's what everybody's attaching to the morant. You know what I mean? And you know what it's going to do? It's going to make him a sympathetic figure. Oh, he needs to get the help that he needs the booger sugar caught up to him or the alcohol was too much involved. You know, I'm just saying. Kwame Brown's got a different perspective on that. If you have his recent post, check that out. By the way, I love Kwame Brown. He just doesn't care at all. He's like, oh, I'm a bust. Cool. Watch this and just lots of people all the time. Can I ask you guys this though, because like I played a one year of youth basketball. My dad, we love playing. Well, this is a guard. I was a guard. What else was I going to play center? I mean, come on. Well, you could have been tall for age then. No, I definitely was not. It's a good post move. I didn't hit puberty until I was like 38. Okay. So it was not a it was a problem. I was like, I was dunking basketballs playing youth basketball. You hit you like five years ago. Yeah, something like that. Yeah. I just got armed. Happy birthday. Yeah. Happy birthday to LaVar, by the way, and Joe. Jonas. Yeah, it's not my birthday. Well, it was a birthday. No, we're not my birthday is October 27th and you know that's that's definitely not true. I love all we got to be careful. We're going to miss it again. I just always had to. No, that is not that's that's what we're going to miss it again. I think it's like I think it's the end of this month. I feel like one day they will give him a wiki page and he won't be able to get out of it. That's the thing. It's so hard to figure it out. And every time I forget him, like, I'll just look it up. Aren't wiki pages fake? No, they're not. No. Okay. Well, I thought some of some of the information is inaccurate. But so here's close enough. This is my point is I was always taught growing up. I was happy birthday, bro. I was always it's police compleanos now. I was always taught. What up, Birdo? We talk about here. I was always taught that just because your shots not falling doesn't mean you can't have a good game. Like there's other aspects to the game that you can impact and influence and you've got and Barkley and them talked about it that it's the weirdest thing with the Celtics. If their three isn't hitting, they just stop playing defense too. It's almost like it's a parlay. Like if one doesn't hit, then everything fails. And Jimmy Butler said the same thing post game where he said, yeah, you know, the three wasn't hitting. So I felt like we kind of pulled back on defense. Why is that the mentality? Like I've never heard that that was the mentality growing up playing basketball from anybody that, well, hey, if your shots not hitting, don't worry. You got a free pass on the defensive end. It's weird, right? Yeah. I don't know. They were talking about that on TNT last night too. It's like it's just a different day and age in the NBA. I'm not sure why, but it seems like, I mean, and usually the playoffs, that would be ramped up where you're saying, okay, like I don't have my shot tonight, but I'm gonna find other ways to impact the game and play better defense. And I might not be shooting well, but I'll tell you this much. I'm not going to let them shoot well tonight. Yeah, I don't get it. It's just it's a different mentality, man, especially these seven game series. I think it's why you see such big margin of victories, you know, as far as the swings in these games where the team just kind of like, all right, like we're not coming back. Yeah. That's what just, you know, just pack it in. Let's rest up for the next one. It's just, I don't, I don't understand it. But again, here we go. What about you, Lebar? If your shot wasn't hitting when you were being recruited by, you know, was it Bob Huggins who recruited you at Cincinnati Bobby Huggins, Deborah, yeah. Yeah. He got shots out to John Thompson. He recruited me. John Thompson recruited you too. Absolutely. Big John. How big is he? He was big, right? Like six, 10, six, 11, something like that. Yeah. He didn't like me at first. You know, it's funny. He recruited me to come there. He did recruit me. So, huh, I'm sorry. Oh, well, I don't even want to tell the rest of my story. Why not? I'm a, I'm a let John rest in peace and, and feel bad that he didn't recruit my bro. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I don't understand why they didn't recruit you. You know what I mean? At that point in time, they weren't, yeah, they weren't really into what? Yeah. What you mean? We're looking for you. I think Mack McCleung really was trying to break that barrier when he first decided to go there. Right. Is that right? Yeah. There was a barrier that existed at Georgetown. For some reason, Lee got recruited though. I don't know what it was. What's your chat? It's your chat. I say, Georgetown was a HBCU. I didn't say that. I said, I didn't say that to me. That's what you do. I just say it. Yeah. It is interesting. How come, but Georgetown apparel was featured in like crisscross videos, but not Metallica? Like, what do you think that was? I don't know. It was just back in the day. I was wondering. It was just, you know, they created a culture there, you know? And we were on the outside looking in Brady. Yeah. Yeah. You guys. You people were outside looking in. We're going to accept this on a phone call. Thank you. You know what I always wondered? Because remember how John Thompson always had the towel, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Like, did he have a towel with him everywhere he went? No, no. Oh, is it going there? I'm not going there. Come on. Don't do that. How was it going? Oh, okay. That's messed up. I mean, that's the only place I could go right now. And when I think of towels. Right. It's this show. You saw it. I'm sorry. I wasn't going there. I was like, man, you know, some guys have like a sweat towel they bring with them? Yep. I guess. Sometimes like I have a sweat towel. They have a summer towel. You remember it's Jerry Tarkanian. He used to bite him. He used to bite him. Which is not there you go. This is an odd thing. So, who had a first? Tark the shark or John Thompson? I mean, I don't know. Yeah. But again, congratulations. Tark what the recruited you the no Q. That is true. It's not a UNLV. Oh, man. Those UNLV teams were so badass back in the day. They were awesome. Legendary. And what was that? I mean, so word. I mean, so word. George the Georgetown. Oh, boy. Oh, bro. He's Stacy Augman, known to casino, I think. I think that was part of the perks that came along with it. I still think it's hilarious that we've taken a concept that's existed forever. And we deem it, oh, it's NIL. It's a new thing. It's like no. It's like NIL has always existed in professional platforms. No one called it NIL. And some advertiser uses your name, image, and likeness. It was just a marketing deal you did. And now we have to throw this acronym on it. I'm going, oh, it's called NIL. That'll stick. It's just, I don't know. It always is bothering me that we had to create. We act like we created something that never existed. No, it's just the law changed. That's what changed. Not NIL. That's all that's been there. The funniest part is it's like, yeah, you know, name, image and likeness. Like what? You got to explain to somebody what NIL means. What is NIL? That means zero. That means nothing. You have no points. No, it means name, image, likeness. Some people still don't know what NIL means. So if you're listening to our show, you're welcome. Yeah. We just put them up on some game. There you go. So we did. They're going to be like, oh, yeah, I'm going to be like, oh, yeah, I'm going to be like, oh, yeah. I'm going to be like, oh, yeah. I'm going to be like, oh, yeah.

One team in the NFL could be on the verge of getting even better. We'll tell you who that is again, a little over 15 minutes from now. Oh. So we might have ourselves a little bit of a problem in the National Football League. Somebody might be up to the same old tricks again. Oh. Apparently Jimmy Garoppolo had surgery in March following the signing of his contract with the Las Vegas Raiders. Now, last year, he decided to have surgery at a pissed-off John Lynch in Kyle Shanahan and so much so that- Well, because it messed them up on Drake. And they were very vocal about being flustered by Jimmy Garoppolo deciding to have surgery. I believe it was a shoulder surgery last year. But Garoppolo did decide that he was going to have surgery following the foot injury he suffered last year. And so Josh McDaniel spoke with the media yesterday. Obviously, there's OTAs, and Jimmy Garoppolo is not there. The first round pick of the Raiders, Tyree Wilson at a Texas Tech. He's not there because he's rehabbing a surgically repaired right foot that was injured last November. And so Josh McDaniel's explained the status of Jimmy Garoppolo and how he feels about him missing OTAs at this point. You'll see him. I mean, I'm not going to run down a list every time here, but, you know, no, he's going through his process just like we knew he would. Nothing has happened that would surprise us based on, you know, the information we had. Same thing with Tyree. Again, you know, there's a number of guys you're not going to see out there today. So, you know, rehabbing the things that they're rehabbing. And again, we know we don't play a game for over 100 days. So they're doing everything they can do to get right. And when they're all ready to go, then eventually they'll be back on the field. You know, what if he's not ready to go though? Like is there somebody maybe in and around the building there in Vegas who could step right in knowing that all the time? Oh, TB12? I mean, you know, he can't do that. Why not? He's not allowed to do that. What? Because you can't own a team and also play? Yeah, how you do that? Why can't you do that? What's the problem? How you do that? Wouldn't he give himself a max contract? Well, technically, he's a free agent though, right? I think so. Yeah, he didn't have a word. He was done as the team. He can do it. So, but he could do it. I don't think there are rules in place that you have to be asking yourself, what are they going to pay them? And how does that look? Unless the deal, you know, the investment is done in the team. And there just be a lot of questions about it. Like I said, I don't know if you could set that precedent. Lee, he has a free agent. I'll say this on a more serious note. Yes, that is correct. Yeah. On a more serious note. I think I think Josh McDaniel McDaniel's McDaniel's McDaniel's McDaniel's the guy in Miami. In Miami. In Miami. Do the impersonation. McDaniel's no SMI amis. This is McDaniel. Yeah, no SMI amis. I think he's right. I mean, I think he handled the question very nicely. He put it a bit super quickly, tucked it in and left the room and let it rest. For all the injuries that he's had to endure, Jimmy Garoppolo, you're going to have your team physician, your medical team do a thorough examination of the player. And while you may, in some cases, be able to slide. Like I've heard of guys getting scholarships, getting to the school and then saying, oh, my shoulder, like, you know, they act like they hurt their shoulder in a practice in college or, you know, same thing. Really? I'm trying to try some guys. Oh, hell yeah. Like there's been guys. Hey, listen, I got to be honest, full disclosure. I mean, I hope it's not a hit on my credibility, but I've told guys, like, you can't get that surgery on your shoulder now. You can't do it. You got to wait. Like, you got a scholarship offer. You got to sign and you got to get into the school before you start talking about fixing, fixing, you know, your knee or something like that because they may take that scholarship away from you, you know, and that's a very real, that's a very real thing. Like if a guy can't, if he can't go or he gets a surgery or something like that, school may go in a different direction. But I think for Jimmy Garoppolo, I don't think there's a way he would be able to slip through without, you know, a thorough medical examination. So when Coach McDaniel says that there's nothing going on with him that we're not already aware about, I take that at face value and think that that's the truth. Like they knew what he had going on health-wise and medically before they signed him. So if he was going to be in need of surgery, that was something that they probably already knew and probably, you know, helped him or worked out, you know, worked it out where he could do it during this time. There's enough time for you to have healing and rehab and still get out there and do what you need to do with the team. Like I think those things were already understood and thought through before they made a move on Jimmy G because that would be, so first of all, that would be crazy irresponsible on the Raiders part for one. If you didn't see something on his medical exam, you got to take a look at your medical. Which would be really weird for them to do anything crazy and irresponsible the Raiders the way they bring it to the game. I mean, you know, you know, it is what it is, but I'm just saying that would be irresponsible to not know what's going on with him medically. Here's what I want to know. If, and this is an office conversation a little bit, but has Tom Brady obviously has come out and never said it was a fumble, right? Garoppolo has come out and said that Tucker will play it was a fumble. Has Josh McDaniel's admitted that the tuck will play was a fumble? Well, I think he said recently that Tom Brady is going to have to admit that it was a fumble when asked about it. So is that like an admission the way Josh McDaniel's proposed that? But he's never come out and like said, no, that was definitely a fumble. Yeah. See, see, you didn't during his press conference. Josh McDaniel? Yeah, you didn't. Why no Jimmy Garoppolo said it? You sure McDaniel said as well too? Can I ask you this burrow as a fan of you just like he's just saying that because we're paying to be that. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. By the way, Josh McDaniel's could go to his next press conference and say Roberto Flores is the greatest personality in radio. And Bertha would still hate his guts. He wants to do it. Would you have respected him more had he come out and been like definitely wasn't a fumble. We beat you guys, but now that I'm here, I just want you to know it's still a fumble. Well, I'm gonna be your head coach and I hope he gets some of these lucky calls too. Probably hit him anyway. Okay. Okay. By the way, who cares? It's not like they were playing in Vegas back then. Anyway, it's a brand new team. They got a brand new face brand new venue. They run the city now. Well, them and the the Golden Knights, the worst team name in sports. So what are they? Would you rather be instead of the Golden Knights? I mean, they're actually like Golden Knights. You don't like that name? You're in Vegas. Cool name. How about the lot? I actually like it. How about the Las Vegas dice? You know, why don't you hit up the WNBA? Look up for the dice. Yeah. I'm talking about like, yeah, why don't you hit up? What are you shaking your head for, Eddie? That's a phenomenal name. Try another one, Jonas. Let's try this again. Well, I'm not going to say what Birdo just said. That's for sure. I would have said, be careful, man. Don't be like that. He's got to be careful. I would have said no. No, no, yeah, we got to be more careful. Birdo, maybe I filled that man on on where you wanted it to go. Yeah. Definitely not. Yeah. Not touched that. No, I don't. Do you have anything else? The Aces. Somebody is though. The Aces was stolen. Somebody would beat you. The Aces was stolen. I'll tell you what, can you give me like five minutes to come up with a better name? Why do you need that? Five minute live radio. Because you got to be quicker than this. You see, because I want people to know that we're not just mailing it in here on a Friday. We care about this show. You can have two teams with the same nickname in the same city though. That's, I don't think so. Yeah. Wait, you're saying you can or you can. You can. Yeah. I mean, it didn't like New York, New York football giants and the New York baseball giants back in the day, you know, but that was what would you be suggesting that? Yeah, the St. Louis Cardinals also. I'm saying, are you suggesting if you call the Aces right here? I'm saying the A's when they go to the Vegas, it should be the Las Vegas Aces. I think it's still keep the same hat. The Las Vegas. The Las Vegas pit bosses. That's going to do the Las Vegas sand. I mean, they will take your money. You know, I mean, you go on ice with them. They will take your money. Yeah. Yeah. That's you. That works. The Las Vegas strips. What about, you know, the Las Vegas smokers, you know, people still smoke and casinos. They do. The Las Vegas drug addicts outside the strip, you know, they're like, they're, they're are possible. I'm just saying you could do better in the golden nights and the logo sucks. I'm just saying, you did not do it. I don't want better. Can you do one better? Come on. The gamblers. Do one better. The gamblers. I think gamblers is, is I don't know. Come on. No, for a hockey team, like, I mean, I don't know. I just feel like there's a lot you could do with the name golden nights. You thought that was a winner. You thought gamblers was a winner when you threw it out there. You're not a fan. He's not a fan of any of those. It's an all workout in here. Right. Impromptu. That's, that's all I got. That's what I can pull out of the holster here. All right. But it's definitely more clean than what Berto said off the air. That's for sure. So, I mean, had Berto said it dirty, that's for certain. It was dirty. What about the Las Vegas penningtons? Huh, you know, it was interesting that you said that because I was like, man, could you imagine if they had to play on artificial ice? You know what I mean? Like, what would that even look like? Is there even a such thing? Oh, no. Yeah. I see it. I see it. They make artificial snow and something that's like mountains in the Midwest. Okay. They make them out here. No, I know about, I know about the art. How high they got. They got the man made snow. It's terrible. Well, we were talking about artificial snow at the beginning of the show as well. But you know what? We're not going to talk about the artificial snow or artificial ice. We're going to talk about artificial turf guys. You know what? Football fields are causing 32% more non-contact knee injuries. That's artificial turf football fields. And American grassy company guys, Pennington, they're on a mission. All right. They want to ban these turf fields. They're doing this campaign call hashtag flip the turf movement. So go to pinnington.com slash flip the turf now to learn more and sign the petition. That's right. Sign a petition for teams to hashtag flip the turf to real grass smooth. Yeah. Got another edition of vacation mystic coming up here shortly. But for all the latest from around the world of sports, speaking of smooth, the man himself and then Garcia. All right. Thank you, Joyce. Eddie, you don't like any of those names? I don't. The sand. Oh, the sand is really. I mean, by the way, worse, worse mascot or worse nickname is sports like the pelicans, the Raptors. Those are those are really strong. I have a lot of bad. The pelican is my favorite bird. I just I don't understand what a gold. I don't. Would you want to have played for a team called the pelicans, Lavar? I mean, I got to be honest with you. No, I wouldn't. But I do like, but that is my favorite bird. Lavar, if you follow Lavar's career from high school all the way on, he only plays for teams who have offensive nicknames. That is correct. That is correct. That would be correct outside of college and middle school, which is interesting because I was a cougar and middle school and I was a mountain lion in college. But every other team, except for the giants, I finished with the giants. What was high? I was a little bit, a little bit. I was an Indian. My youth league, I was a I was a red skin, a chief and a. Wow. That is crazy. I was an Indian in high school and then I was a red skin in the pros. How about that? So I've just been I mean, so there's no, I mean, I don't know if there's any correlation. Maybe maybe the the ancestors of the people that are offended by that said that everyone like ha ha, gee, you know, got got I got cursed, you know, although I was like the national player of the year in high school. You know, the number one rated recruit coming out of high school. What up relatable? Then I went on to have a Hall of Fame career in college. So I guess I wasn't really cursed by being an Indian. I guess not. I guess I really was an Indian, you know. So there you go, Eddie. All right. Thank you. Appreciate that. Yeah. Let's get you caught up on the NBA play. I saw the pros though, Eddie.

There are reports that the Cardinals are going to be shopping down very often. This upcoming season trying to get rid of the remaining 2 years and 34 million dollars on his contract. Therefore we have odds on this team for the 2023 season. Guys, Cardinals are still the favorites to retain them at 2-1. Now the Chiefs are the next favorite at plus 303-1 followed by the Panthers and Bears at plus 550 Detroit Lions at plus 750 and New England Patriots at plus 1200. Caroline would be the best spot as far as helping the young quarterback. Yeah, that would be fun. But man, if Kansas City really, they need DeAndre Hopkins. And also he's been on the trade block for how long now? Is this going to be just one of these training camp deals that gets done and he's on his way out or what? Like I don't understand what's taken so long. If they're going to pull a trigger on this and get it done, they get it done. I don't get it. But worst kept secret in the world is that DeAndre Hopkins doesn't want to be there. Did Diggs show up to Buffalo's OTA? I don't think so. Maybe Buffalo's a place. Man, that was his first choice when he was asked the quarterbacks that he's watching. Josh Allen was his number one. So what is Stefan Diggs's problem? Because they lost the Cincinnati. Like you got your ass beat. What's so why is he still pouting about it? It's not like they're going to give them a new deal. No, whenever it's a receiver that's that's upset, it's generally because they didn't feel like they got enough balls. I'm going at him. Thank you. Clean that up there. The way this shows go to you ever know how that could be perceived. I just think that's when historically speaking, I do believe that's when receivers get upset. I mean, Diggs feels like he gets a lot of stuff thrown his way, you know. Yeah. A lot of balls. Diggs, you know. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.
