Good morning.
How's everybody feeling here?
How y'all feeling?
I'm a little sweet.
I mean, sweet.
You feel sweet?
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
How could you do that?
Came out the gate with that, huh?
It was a slip, man.
I messed up.
Feeling real sweet.
I mean, sweet today.
I don't like it.
I'm going to use that.
Listen.
Use that.
Thank God it's over because that's the way that it was going to go.
And you knew that sort of after Game 3.
All right.
We're really going to drag this on to the Lakers win Game 4.
And then we've got to wait another couple of nights to try and find out what the final
score is going to be when everybody knows it's going to be Denver advancing.
The Lakers played valiantly, but the bottom line is Denver's the best team in the NBA.
Yeah.
Okay.
We're almost out there.
We're trying.
You know, some of the other guys might have, if they could help out a little bit.
Yeah.
A little bit.
All right.
But man, Denver's fun to watch, man.
They are fantastic.
And Nicole Yokich, absolutely phenomenal.
The entire series, your Western Conference Finals MVP.
And the more I watch them, the more I'm looking forward, whoever comes out of the NBA, whoever
comes out of the Eastern Conference and news flash, it's not going to be Boston.
Whoever that is that comes out, they're going to have their hands full having to deal with
Yokich and Mike Malone and that bench and Jalmeri and everything that comes along with
the Denver Nuggets.
That's fine, man.
But Miami looks like, I mean, Bam is establishing himself.
I mean, he's not clearly on the elite level and status of the Joker, but I mean, Bam is
really, really emerged as a real go-to guy that is almost like becoming a household name
based off of the way that he's playing.
So, you know, obviously what you get with Jimmy Butler.
I mean, the way Miami has been playing, I think Miami is going to end up, they might
do the same exact thing that Denver did.
And we'll get this thing going pretty quickly.
I mean, I want to say, because I watched the Heat play this year and I just don't recall
in my mind like, man, like, huh, the Heat can do it.
Like they can make it to the final round.
Cincinnati Cincinnati.
Huh.
Like, all right, you know, the Heat.
It's like the Heat out of the East.
Huh.
Like, all right, you know, and they are clearly playing the best basketball in the East out
of the final two teams.
I mean, they basically, in essence, have made the Celtics quit.
They quit.
Yeah.
So it'd be interesting to see how that plays out.
It's looking like it's going to be Miami and Denver that plays in the finals.
It's not, it's not the ideal final in terms of markets and what people want from it.
But what, what I appreciate about this, what's, what's taking place right now is Jimmy Butler's
getting his flowers for how he's playing.
You have an emerging star and Bam, I don't buy you bio.
You got to merge a star and the world is getting to see why there's such a fuss about
the.
Jokech.
Yeah.
You know, that's a right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, Joe Kitch.
One call Joe Kitch.
All right.
I think now everybody's joined into the conversation comfortably.
Like do should have got MVP for third time.
Like he's the best player in NBA.
And be careful.
You'll start some controversy.
Whoa.
You know, LaVar.
I'm not sure if you know this, but uh oh, yeah.
A lot of people, they're not a fan of him winning in a third time in a row.
You can't race.
I know.
Some people think it's because he's white.
I'm just saying.
I get it.
Never mind the fact that he's European.
That doesn't count.
You know, it's just, by the way, I love how like everyone brings up that point, but no
one has an issue with the fact that what is it?
Three of our last, uh, the last five MVPs have gone all gone to European players.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I sounded a kimpo.
Yes.
Nicola Yokech and Joe and B now.
But it's like none of them are from the US, but like no one cares about that.
But it's all about five ball comedy.
It's the color.
It's not about where the color comes from.
It's just the color.
Everybody focus on that.
But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let's not talk about the fact that like maybe, maybe there's young men being developed better
overseas right now in professional basketball than they are in the United States.
Oh, should that be something we talk about?
No, no, no, no, no.
Let's not talk about that.
Yeah.
Let's talk about something else.
That's racist.
Oh, it's too adapt.
You got to go.
Yeah.
The purpose of it.
Per toe is on it.
It's just so manufactured, man.
Like it's just so like it can't find anything better.
So that's the angle we go with.
Yeah, that's true.
Can I be real though?
When I was watching the first half, I felt like the Lakers were getting a bunch of calls
and I'm going, all right, this is this is like typical NBA.
That's when my conspiracy theory of mine started to go.
I'm like, it's just it feels like it's going to be one of those lopsided like Lakers get
one so they don't get swept because we all know what the narrative is right now.
Like we're right now talking about, you know, Denver and all that, but the narrative is not
Denver.
The narrative is the Lakers.
It's LeBron.
It's how much more is he going to play?
He hit it out retirement.
He gets swept.
What does that mean for his legacy?
Like all these things that are going to be talked about.
I personally feel like it's really it's really dumb to focus on that or like when that argument
you know happens because he was phenomenal last night at his age and what he did.
He carried the team basically wire to wire and even gave the Lakers a shot.
Now I know that wasn't how he performed the entire series, but when they needed him to
the most in that game, he was everything he needed to be played every minute.
But he just, you know, in the end, like they needed more like that.
The Nuggets teams could man like they are a good team as much as it's about Yokech.
It's all the pieces involved too.
That's that's why I'm actually excited to see Denver take on Miami because I think Miami
is very similar to in that respect.
I mean, Lavart is touched on it.
You got Jimmy Butler.
That's great.
You got Nicole Yokech.
That's great.
And you've got these really good complimentary pieces where other guys step up and can have
some performances, whether it's at a bio or you go and look at what Michael Porter Jr.
is ball.
Michael Porter Jr.
is a ball.
Murray is probably the next guy that comes to mind.
No, Berto.
I'm not sure if you watched in this series, but I mean, there's just there's so there's
so many complimenting pieces on each.
I mean, who saw Gabe Vincent shooting the way he did?
You're right.
And the last game, like there were lights out.
Yeah, I also like the fact that did you hear Roberto's it?
Did you hear him in your air queue?
Definitely.
All I heard was Michael Porter Jr.
All right.
Tell me what you just said, Berto.
Yeah.
That's a ball.
Murray.
Yeah.
That's a fun, fun content behind the scenes here.
Oh boy.
Have a Tuesday.
That's.
Yeah.
You hit the button on your zone, please.
Please, please, that's that's no, you don't want to hit it.
No, you don't want the button.
It's like, bro, bro, you can see it's on the bottom.
Oh, no.
Yeah, that's.
Yeah, that's it.
You need to take a time out.
You can't you can't don't forget.
Think up for like 10 seconds.
It was it was funny though.
I liked how Denver's approach last night was.
All right.
So we've got we've got them down three nothing.
We could easily sort of cruise, get this back to Denver and try and close mountain five.
And they said, now we're going to play seven guys and we're going for it.
And you know, LeBron, we mentioned played every single minute of that game.
Yokech only missed three minutes of that game.
They clearly identified.
Let's wrap this up.
Let's get this over with.
And Brady and I were talking yesterday, Levar, about the fact that the NBA's already said,
no matter what, the finals are starting on June 1st.
Sweet.
Cool.
So if Miami, you know, closes the coffin on the Boston Celtics tonight, then we got to
wait around eight days for the NBA finals to get here.
Come on.
It's a bit much speed this thing up and let's get it over with.
That's a lot.
And you would like for them to keep.
I would like for them to keep the rhythm and the momentum of of the schedule.
I mean, right now I like how it's it's been flowing, right?
Like every day there's another game.
Sports, right?
I just.
Sports.
Yeah, I like it.
Your kits are doing their thing.
They're doing their thing.
So, you know, I like the flow of it.
I think when you get that break in time, it kind of lets the momentum die down.
It's like that second week between Super Bowl.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We were there.
We were hoping somebody got busted for like anything.
No.
And then it turned out that it was Michael Irvin and we still don't have any clarity.
I want to say what happened with Michael Irvin.
No idea.
Huh.
No idea.
Hey, by the way, I was with Don Martin yesterday shots out to our guy Don Martin.
And I just got to make sure I put this out there before we go any further in the show
while it's on top of my mind.
Thank you guys out there who listened to us and support our show.
We were talking yesterday and the success of our show, the growth of our show has been
phenomenal and tremendous.
And I know I'm probably speaking for both of us and all three of us when we when I say
this, but I mean, it's it is so cool to have a visual measurement of how how much work
you put in and what you want to put out there as a product to to the people that are listening
to us.
So before I go any further, I just wanted to make sure I let you guys know why it's
like top of mind.
It's super cool that you guys support our show support us the way that you do.
Pretty cool, man.
Yeah, well, we're sitting here talking about, you know, speeches and stuff, you know, in
terms of winning and, you know, being in sports and all that stuff.
Like, I think that's pretty cool.
Like we're as people don't know.
LaVara is a cuddler.
He really is.
No, I'm a spooner like I'm your spirit.
But I bet you're big spooning and you could be a little spoon, you know, I can.
The big guy needs to be spooned too.
That's very true.
Yeah.
True.
I have been spieling.
In fact, you guys should have saw the way I slept last night.
It's one of the coolest ways of going to sleep ever.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And didn't even know that I fell asleep that way, but I woke up and the cool thing about
waking up so early for your show is that when you wake up and your arm is dead like for
about five, six, seven minutes.
Oh, that's great.
You know, then it's like, you know, but it you wake up and it was like, wow, what an amazing
position to fall asleep in.
And you know what?
Like my arm is dead forever, but it'll come back hopefully one day and it was worth it.
What was the position like?
It's kind of it's like almost like I can't say it on air, but yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
Okay.
I mean, because it could go wrong the way if I try to explain it, it could go wrong.
Especially with birds out probably.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But welcome to the show.
Yeah.
I got my details for it to make sense.
And then if I gave the details, then let's start this way.
Okay.
Were you on your stomach?
Your back or your side?
I was kind of I was on my right arm.
So it's got put to you like this.
I like I I cuddled her leg.
I cuddled her leg like I went to sleep like literally like, you know how you have like
the body pillows?
Yeah.
That was her leg last night.
Was she on your arm or were you on your arm?
She was on my arm because I was holding her leg like a pillow.
Yeah.
You're going to lose an arm.
That's a hell of a way to go.
It was out of it.
It's it's coming back now.
The feeling is coming back, but it was sure not it was definitely worth it.
I enjoyed it.
You can only imagine where I was laying.
Oh, I have where my head was.
I'm okay.
I'll say we okay.
That's and that's where the story could have got bad going with the details of it.
I mean, aren't you?
All right.
What?
No, no, no, no.
Are not too tall for that?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I was just thinking about it.
She's long, my guy.
Yeah, I'll sleep by any repercussions.
Like, you know, yeah, yeah, but you know what I I you know, if it happened, I was so
dead to the world and sleep.
I didn't even realize I fell asleep and like in that space like we were watching forensic
files.
This show from six to nine Eastern time.
Yeah.
And I, well, I had just traveled back to, you know, you're so funny.
You're so funny, Doc.
What do you mean?
It's three.
I am here though.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, but it's six to nine East Coast.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Monday through Friday.
You do that show.
Yeah, that is true.
Anyway, yeah, I enjoyed that that spooning.
Five days.
Five days.
That's right.
Y'all are funny as eff man.
You know what?
I mean, I always knew you were never afraid to get down and dirty.
I'm just I'm just letting you know.
Yeah, that's that's that was my spoon position last night.
You caught up in the mix of it.
Yeah.
I was.
Spoon City is a place.
You know, check the oil.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Well, it's a two pros that I come to.
Jonas would say that concludes our coverage.
And that'll wrap it up.
But until the war's point for making us a part of your morning, whenever you do as often

I'm Israel Gutierrez.
I'm hosting a new podcast called Four Years of Heat.
It takes you to Miami from 2010 to 2014 when LeBron James, Chris Bosch and Dwayne Wade set
the NBA ablaze.
You know having an opportunity to team up with the best trio to ever play the game of
basketball is amazing.
We're going to give you stories you've never heard before about a team you only thought
you knew.
We'll take you inside those four monumental years with behind the scenes access and insight
about one of the greatest teams ever assembled.
We knew what was on the look on LeBron's face.
I got this.
I got this.
Come revisit a time NBA fans will never forget with exclusive newly recorded interviews with
Ray Allen, Dan Levittard, Rachel Nichols and many more.
As that ball left my fingers it just felt like it floated.
Four Years of Heat on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.
I got loose from the knees.
Two pros at a cup of Joe Fox Sports radio, LaVar Eheri, Tim Brady, Quinn, Jonas Knox
of the year.
Coming up in, we'll call it 20 minutes from now from the tire rack.com studios.
Somebody wants to bring back an iconic moment in the world of sports.
So we'll tell you what that is again, 20 minutes from now here on FSR, but speaking of bringing
something back.
How about this?
The old emergency third quarterback rule.
Everybody remembers that little ditty.
Apparently the NFL upon seeing what happened in the NFC championship game between the Niners
and the Philadelphia Eagles have decided, you know what?
Now that we think about it, it kind of sucks that a team had to roll out Christian McCaffrey
or whoever else it was to try and play quarterback because they were up against it when it came
to Brian Mitchell position.
Yeah, Brian Mitchell was that the, I think they called that was at the body bag game.
I think it was.
Yeah, the Eagles, Washington, formerly the Washington, what?
Yeah, the Washington R's that team, I can't say you can't, but they were, they called
it the body bag game because they knocked out Philly, knocked out all their starting quarterbacks.
And Brian Mitchell was playing quarterback, who played quarterback in college, but still
had to put a guy that doesn't, wasn't practicing as a quarterback at the position.
By the way, the body bag game.
I mean, how about that?
Oh, is that Reggie White and Jerome Brown?
Those guys, yeah, they, they, they, Seth Joyner, they smashed them.
But the NFL is the owners approved the return of the emergency third quarterback rule.
It's going to allow teams to designate an emergency quarterback on game day without
accounting as one of their 53 active players.
It's applicable if the two other quarterbacks can't continue in a game.
I'll explain it.
I saw on your notes.
I, you kind of defined it.
It's, it makes it a little more confusing that way.
So this is all it is.
Sorry about this.
I'm just trying to help you out.
Yeah, I know I appreciate that.
They dress 46 guys on NFL game days.
You're now going to see a 47th player.
That player is going to be the third string quarterback.
However, he cannot enter the game.
All right.
So how it typically works is you must have both your first and second string quarterbacks.
They've got to be injured and they can't, they can't be able to go in and play.
When that first string quarterback typically goes out with an injury, that's when you're
going to see the third string guy activated.
If they, if they realize that the, the, excuse me, the first string quarterback can't go
back in, then at that point they'll activate the third string quarterback.
They usually don't wait until the second string quarterback gets injured because at that point
it would take up a long time in the process.
So typically how it works, they go in, they literally sign this, this sheet, this form.
You deactivate one player, activate the other, you submit it and that's how it works forward.
So it's a little bit of a misnomer because again, not to, not to like coyote Jonas, but
like the way you had to play it out is, well, the first and second needs to be then it.
It's like, well, it doesn't need to be.
They'll activate the third string quarterback once they realize that the first string can't
go back in and play at that point, then he would be activated.
But the general point is this, it's awesome for the league because you now don't find
yourself in a scenario like we saw in a big game last year with Brock Purdy going in there
and not being able to do anything other than really hand the football off.
And more so than that, it's, it's a, like what was so shortsighted about the rule going
away is is the development of the quarterback position is paramount to any other position
on the field.
They're the faces of your franchise.
And that's what this is about development in the sense of even if you got a first string
or excuse me, a first overall pick that you know is going to be the guy, it still sometimes
helps to be able to have a capable to, but a third string guy who is really just there
as a veteran presence to help him out.
Now like Carolina, for example, kind of has that in Josh McCowan, where if he probably
still wanted to play like he'd be in that third string quarterback spot, like that'd
be his role in his job.
He's there to get you out of a game and to execute, but he's largely there to make sure
he's helping that younger quarterback ahead of him understand how to break down film,
prepare all those sorts of things and kind of guiding him along.
It also works for guys who are maybe a little more developmental.
You don't have to activate them or worry about putting them in a backup spot if they're
not ready yet.
And so it gives that guy more of a chance to not just practice during the week, but then
travel with the teams too.
Because you could say, well, for a practice squad player, those guys might be able to,
you know, that will usually those guys don't travel that on the weekends, you know, once
they go off to whatever game somewhere else.
So you don't get to see the additional game planning and everything else that goes along
with it.
So to me, it's a rule that never should have went away.
I'd love to hear an explanation as to why it did outside of trying to save some money.
And it killed off a third of the quarterback position in the league.
Because once they got rid of that rule, most teams of the 32 teams only kept two.
And then they would have a practice squad quarterback that, you know, may or may not
at some point factor and it could be moved up to the active roster.
Now you're going to see, you should see every team keep three and potentially maybe even
a fourth that they stash on their practice squad just to help out with development and
everything else too.
And maybe just to have an extra arm out there.
So to me, it's a huge win for quarterbacks in the NFL, young old, all the above.
It should help everyone out.
I mean, I like the way the last part of that sounded because I love development.
I mean, it's something that is so understated.
It's not ads prioritize.
I mean, people talk about it, but they don't really live it.
It's not really a priority, a necessity like development, development, like people want
things ready made.
You know, it's crazy.
They want kids in high school these days ready, made if you go to a school like a modern day
or a Bosco, they want you ready, made when you go to a college, a major college, power
fives, they want you ready, made.
So when you get to the league, they want you ready, made and kind of development is
a word that's used, but it's very loosely used because it's not really executed.
And so to hear that there's the possibility that because of this type of rule and creating
that extra space for that position, you'd have to say potentially the impact on the game
as a whole could end up being astronomically high.
I mean, it could really impact the way the NFL, what direction it goes in in terms of
the quality of play, just because you have the ability to develop players without them
having the pressure of having to play.
Like those guys are sitting at home on couches or, or, you know, trying to play in different
leagues, whatever it may be.
And now they're going to have the opportunity to get that development time.
You know, you look at some of the best, I'll get you one of the best quick examples off
the top of my head is James Harrison.
You know how many times that guy was cut and let go, went overseas, came back, didn't
back up special teams this time.
That guy's going to be a first-baller Hall of Famer.
And so he had an opportunity to develop and, and to, to grow within the game.
And then by the time he got an opportunity to start, he knew exactly everything that
he needed to do to be able to have success within the game.
You take that and you do that with a quarterback, we'll start hearing about quarterback names
that you might have forgot about when you heard them coming out from college.
You hear about them four or five years later, six years later.
And now they've turned into a perennial Pro Bowl caliber player, performer, all because
they had the opportunity to develop and, and have that time to, to understand what, what
the game represents on and off the field within the, the, the meeting rooms and how
your teammates work, all those different things at the pro level.
I think it's a great, I think it's, it's great to, to be able to have four.
Like if you're hiding that for on your practice squad, which you never know what's going to
happen with that.
That's probably a very expendable player, but that, that third and fourth guy, if, if
these franchises are approaching this with the right mindset, that's that to me, that's
the guy that's going to replace your franchise guy.
If anything were to happen, potentially moving far into the future because you've developed
that person and, and they know what you, you know, they know what you need.
They know what you want as a part of that team in particular, because at least, at least
you give you the option.
Like the thing of like, does this, this doesn't make sense to me is they tell you the quarterback
positions and most important position in the NFL.
Yeah, but you can only do it on our terms.
You know, listen, we realize if you're in a tough spot, sorry, you got to roll out somebody
who may have played quarterback in high school to try and bail you out of this situation.
At least now you've got the option and the opportunity.
I'm just, what, has there been any discussion outside of you mentioned the money issue that
I'm trying to save money, Brady?
Has there been any talk about why really the move was made?
Like what was it really about?
Like the roster numbers, active players, et cetera, et cetera.
What was it about when it came to the quarterback position?
Well, again, I don't know.
All I can tell you is this is if there was a, if you're looking at a third string player
on a roster, what player is going to cost them the most money at that position?
Quarterback.
A quarterback.
And so, you know, maybe you get some guys to sign up for League minimum, but that's the
only thing that I can think that comes to mind is you're probably going to save yourself
at least half a million, a million bucks, something like that, maybe more.
Who knows?
I just, I have no idea because you oftentimes too, like you'll get a guy like, let's say
you have three guys on the active roster, that fourth string guy and he'll get some
work in, but if he's in the practice squad, he can go throw for different drills that
you have.
You know, some of the limitations that you have as a coach is because you'd like to
have a guy as a quarterback and he's throwing a football, even on a defensive side of the
ball.
And he's got to come down here and throw something for us, like work on whatever period it is.
You can't always go ones on ones.
A lot of times you have to platoon during the course of a season and to be able to have
just a guy to go down and help out an extra arm, that's also something that's kind of
like pivotal in all of it.
So I don't know the justification for it.
I think it was awful at the time.
It literally killed off a third of the quarterbacks in the league because everyone transitioned
like that.
I remember because it changed over the course of my career.
Like I remember my rookie year, it happening.
First game, very, very first game of my career.
It ended up happening.
Charlie Fry baby.
That's right.
Yeah.
And I was sitting there going, this is unbelievable.
And I watched my quarterback coach, Rip Sheer.
He went over, he's got his clipboard thing.
He had a little sheet on and all stuff.
Deactivated him.
Derek Anderson was in.
I was next up.
And I thought to myself, wow, that was fast.
I mean, I was still like, I can distinctly remember the first game in college, first
game in the NFL.
Because until you see it from the perspective of like having your helmet on and looking
out through it and you're in the uniform, it's real.
You really don't know how like what that looks like.
I remember in college, like just running out through the tunnel and seeing the crowd
full and being in that position and thinking, this is so cool.
And you know, people yell at me like, hey, get the personnel and get the personnel because
I was supposed to be signaling personnel and I'd signal them in.
But then I'd like go back and I'll see a fan, right?
Yeah.
Well, I mean, it was just like it was first, first time you ever saw it.
You're just like so enamored with it.
It's just different.
When you're a recruit, it's different.
Then you get in the NFL.
I remember like just even going through warmups and guys would be like, you know, they got
the Jumbo try not to show them players stretching stuff before and guys like wrapping into the
camera and stuff.
And I was like, man, we, this is really different.
Like no one's like, doesn't seem to be focused right now on the game.
Like they're over like signing autographs, talking to people, dappin it up, like just
showing the sidelines and then you get a little older and you're like, yeah, these guys have
been doing it for a while.
Like they don't, you know, they've got the routine like they're comfortable.
They're good at it.
But I just remember like even that and like the fans and everything else for an opening
game and how different it was.
But you kind of obviously snap out of it in that moment because it's a very sobering like,
okay, like now I have to get down to business.
But it's, but that was the first time I remember at the beginning of my career thinking, wow,
like you could be a third string quarterback starting a game and you legitimately could
get thrust that into this thing.
So you always have to stay ready.
By the end of my career was not that most teams only kept to and it was, it was a tough
conversation.
Like I remember going out to Seattle Seahawks with Pete Carroll and Tvars Jackson, God rest
his soul and myself had a good preseason, both of us and they call me the end of the
I was the first time ever got cut after being in the league seven years and they call and
say, Hey, you got a great camp.
You know, you're going to land somewhere else, but like we're only going to keep to right
now.
And that's just kind of the way a lot of teams are doing it.
And I was like, damn, like that was not like my intent going into it.
Like I thought I was going to be a backup at a, you know, and obviously Russell's going
to start that year, but and then that hit me and I was like, Oh, okay.
I didn't think I was going to be off the team, especially with, you know, all the equity
I'd build up there.
So it's just, I don't know why it changed.
It was, I think it was bad in a lot of ways for the league and with the cut down off season,
you need another quarterback in there to help with development.
So that's why I keep going back to it's going to be awesome for a lot of players in the
league.
Yeah.
Like it does bring up the point though, you know, now that all these jobs have opened
back up for quarterbacks, you know, like if there's certain quarterbacks that maybe
are outside looking in and now all of a sudden the window opens up and they've got a bunch
of connections in the NFL, you know, it makes you wonder whose phone's going to ring, you
know, Lavaar makes you want to get a, who's going to get a call from, you might be the
first like teams in the NFL.
Quarterback coach.
Beautiful thing.
Yeah.
You know, just makes you wonder if, you know, maybe somebody, somebody in South Florida is
going to be getting a call.
Tom Brady, like who?
You know, somebody who's a well connected knows about my car in the league.
You know, Brady Quinn.
Yeah, it's a great point.
Lavaar.
I mean, that would be a great pool, right?
All of a sudden Mike McDaniel, like what would a conversation between Mike McDaniel,
phoning out to Brady Quinn sound like, all right, give me the ring.
Give me the ring.
Give me a ring.
But it thing, but it thing.
And I'll answer his Brady.
Okay, go ahead.
Go ahead.
Fort Lauderdale fitness.
What's up?
Hello, Brady.
Good morning to you.
So this is like a cool little thing that's going on here.
I just wanted to call you and tell you as this coach McDaniel.
Yeah, I've been enjoying the NBA playoffs, but I just wanted to make some time to get
on the phone and talk to you about maybe a new opportunity that I'd like to present.
You and see if you can find any interest in wanting to be a part of the Miami Dolphins
quarter back room.
I think we will really enjoy having your presence and your wisdom and your knowledge
and your superior football document and our building.

Hey, hey, hey coach.
Are you vaping?
Maybe just a little bit Brady.
Maybe just a little bit.
Watch that.
Yeah, I'm pressing in, Travis.
Hold on, coach.
You vaping?
This is so tough.
Why did you ask how just like the lobby?
Hold on.
Why do you ask how just like the lobby?

Don't website cam soda has taken advantage of the opportunity as they usually do to offer
Mr. Cam, Mr. Carmelo Anthony a two one year $250,000 contract to be their CBO that standing
for Chief Ball Officer as Chief Ball Officer, he would be spearheading the model recruitment
and recruiting or consulting on a banana boat scene.
What is the cycle?
It's the same site that always jumps on these opportunities to offer contracts to athletes.
It's called cam soda.
You hear me?
Don't you ever mention banana boats?
One year $250,000.
It's not bad.
Yeah.
Why not?
Listen, he had a great career.
The problem is I think people are going to look at Carmelo and go, yeah, well you never
want to championship.
The problem is they're always going to hold him to a standard next to LeBron because they
came into the same draft.
And Dwayne Wade.
And D. Wade.
Yeah.
There's a couple others in that track.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He had one of, I guess for a one and done arguably the greatest season, right?
You could put together at the college level.
Oh, absolutely.
At the college level.
He was phenomenal.
Yeah.
NBA level.
One of the better scores that I've ever seen.
Super prolific.
Yep.
Yeah.
And it's just crazy because he won't be judged off that maybe until he gets a little bit
further away from the game.
Just because of the brilliance of LeBron.
And like you said, Dwayne Wade, I mean, they had brilliant career.
Because there was a time he was the best scorer in the NBA where you gave him the ball.
He was scoring.
You couldn't stop it.
And I think people kind of lose sight of that.
They just focus on, you know, the comps, as we've mentioned.
What else we got to leave?
NFL news.
Green Bay has been selected to host the 2025 NFL draft and Levi Stadium in Santa Clara
has been selected to host Super Bowl LX Super Bowl 60.
How about that, huh?
Green Bay game.
So that wasn't the one that was up for debate.
Isn't isn't the one 61?
Isn't that the one between LA?
Miami is a few places bidding on that.
That hasn't been decided.
Little LA vs Miami there.
Little battle.
That just put it in Miami.
Like it's just LA can't handle this stuff.
All right.
The traffic.
It's not terrible.
It's terrible.
I love that people care out there, you know.
Do they care?
Do you think people hear the light football?
What are you getting at?
That's charges fans.
What?
