Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: It is the Dan Patrick Show here Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: LaVar Arrington, Freddy Quinn, Jonas Knox with you in for
Speaker 2: Dan and the guys here and uh well, not exactly
Speaker 2: the way many people were hoping for that game to
Speaker 2: finish up.
Speaker 3: Last night.
Speaker 2: It was the Nations face off, and I'll say this,
Speaker 2: Q sounds very disappointed.
Speaker 3: It was a bummer. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know about you, LeVar. I wasn't
Speaker 4: rooting for Canada. It's surely not.
Speaker 3: I said they were better than Native Now if it
Speaker 3: was football, is that a ukulele playing? What it sounded like?
Speaker 3: I think so? Jesus.
Speaker 5: I mean, I would have been ready to cut my
Speaker 5: wrist open if if we played them in like US
Speaker 5: versus Canada and football and we lost.
Speaker 3: But is hockey.
Speaker 4: See that's the difference between you and me. Like I
Speaker 4: would still be feeling that way. And I don't even
Speaker 4: know how to play hockey, but I'd sure as well try.
Speaker 4: I'd be giving it my best effort, falling down, flopping
Speaker 4: around out if.
Speaker 5: I lost, I'd be like, you know what, there's more
Speaker 5: frozen pawns in Canada than there are in the United States,
Speaker 5: and I get it.
Speaker 3: Here's well.
Speaker 4: First off, Canada was the better team last night. For
Speaker 4: anyone who watched. It felt like the US had a
Speaker 4: hard time controlling the puck. It felt like there wasn't
Speaker 4: the same impact as far as the physicality. You know,
Speaker 4: to some degree that the defense held up. But I
Speaker 4: also felt like, and the stats aren't always indicative of this,
Speaker 4: it just felt like when Canada had opportunities to score,
Speaker 4: they were a bit more legit, They're a bit more
Speaker 4: on net. It was some close calls. Maybe you want
Speaker 4: to say luck, but there was just moments where if
Speaker 4: you're watching as a fan of the US, you're kind
Speaker 4: of holding on the edge of your seat, being like, okay,
Speaker 4: got by one there, oh there's another one.
Speaker 3: Bennington was unbelievable, but you know what was super I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 4: And overtime was fine, I'm saying, but leading up to
Speaker 4: that point, I thought the US was was better defensively.
Speaker 3: I watched for the first three period.
Speaker 5: First of all, I watched the game because you guys
Speaker 5: made it a big deal on the show leading up
Speaker 5: to the game.
Speaker 3: That was first and four. We did get better, all right,
Speaker 3: And think about this.
Speaker 5: So then secondly, then then it really dawned on me, like, Wow,
Speaker 5: what an amazing setup in a situation to play off
Speaker 5: of the NFL Super Bowl and everything that has happened.
Speaker 3: During the course of this calendar year.
Speaker 5: You get the most ideal matchup in a sport that
Speaker 5: could be obscure to other categories groups of people, and
Speaker 5: you guys are wondering where I'm going with this right
Speaker 5: then it's like.
Speaker 3: They're not like us.
Speaker 5: They're not like us, like it's probably a minor and
Speaker 5: I'm sitting there thinking of myself. Damn Kendrick Lamar and
Speaker 5: Drake is sitting somewhere. Drake is sitting there proud like
Speaker 5: we finally won one this year, even though it took
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five to get it, but we got something.
Speaker 3: We won something. Canada won something. I let y'all down.
Speaker 5: Kendrick Lamar's been spanking my ass for a whole entire
Speaker 5: calendar year.
Speaker 3: Won awards off of going at me?
Speaker 5: Does it at the Super Bowl and everybody's like pro
Speaker 5: America and forgot about how dope Canada is in lo
Speaker 5: and behold, here we go when it really mattered for
Speaker 5: us in a sport that really matters to us and
Speaker 5: to them.
Speaker 3: We won. We won. Drake won last night and I
Speaker 3: was watching it and as I'm watching it from Drake,
Speaker 3: I'm like, damn, I bet you.
Speaker 5: Drake is sitting somewhere like please don't lose, please, please,
Speaker 5: please don't lose please, And it made it more interesting
Speaker 5: to me.
Speaker 3: And I just wonder how many people around the country
Speaker 3: that were in on this whole way.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of people that are connected to this
Speaker 5: Draken and Kendrick Lamar beef And I'm telling you, somewhere
Speaker 5: Drake was sitting there and it's going to come out
Speaker 5: at some point he's going to reference that game and
Speaker 5: he's going to try to use it as a way
Speaker 5: to say that I told you Canada is better than
Speaker 5: America based on actually it made it interesting.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, well, I was just going to say it
Speaker 2: the based on the attire at the super Bowl, the
Speaker 2: bell bottom.
Speaker 3: I don't really see.
Speaker 2: Ken Cla Lamar as a hockey by the way they
Speaker 2: call him. It doesn't strike me as a hockey fan, don't.
Speaker 5: They don't call them bell bottoms anymore, Jonas, It's called
Speaker 5: flared bottom.
Speaker 3: They call what you want. I'm just telling you just
Speaker 3: telling you.
Speaker 4: I don't know whose calm it was. I was reading
Speaker 4: about it, but it was kind of interesting, and they
Speaker 4: were play on the adversarial position of the Drake Kendrick
Speaker 4: Lamar conversation because the popular opinion, the easy thing to say, oh,
Speaker 4: Kendrick Lamar won this stuff, you hit super Bowl, you
Speaker 4: know all this stuff, and the actually he said the
Speaker 4: fact that the biggest moment for Kendrick Lamar was the
Speaker 4: super Bowl halftime show and he couldn't do anything other
Speaker 4: than perform a song that's a distrack to Drake, because
Speaker 4: that's where Drake lives in his head, rent free. And
Speaker 4: if you're comparing the two as far as what they've
Speaker 4: accomplished so far in their rapping careers, it's not even close.
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously Drake's been way more successful. So I
Speaker 4: was actually, I've root in this column and I was thinking,
Speaker 4: I don't have a dog in the fight. I honestly
Speaker 4: could care less. But it was an interesting perspective that, like,
Speaker 4: if you really think about it, as much as people
Speaker 4: want to kind of give Kendrick Lamar, oh, he's the winner.
Speaker 4: He did that, it's like, well, yeah, but I think
Speaker 4: Drake's solid. Okay, I mean his name is like still
Speaker 4: out there. Granted he's saying what he's saying and there's
Speaker 4: different accusations, but he's been way more successful. He'll continue
Speaker 4: to be more successful. And like, I'm not sure that
Speaker 4: after the Super Bowl halftime show, like did that help
Speaker 4: Kendrick Lamar, Like I think people who knew himknew him.
Speaker 4: People like his rap like it's wrap. I'm not sure
Speaker 4: it like grew anything. I think if anything, it's just
Speaker 4: kind of like all right, no sweet, like the US one.
Speaker 4: I feel like we won that one. But ultimately, if
Speaker 4: you're looking at like the long term, like I mean,
Speaker 4: I'm not sure Kendrick Lamar wins in the long and
Speaker 4: in the long run.
Speaker 3: This I'll just say this.
Speaker 5: This, this to me was one of those scenarios where
Speaker 5: you're looking at a guy and and Drake has always
Speaker 5: been considered like the sexy, light skinned it lover right,
Speaker 5: Like people are so by, well, that's super light, that's
Speaker 5: like super white chocolate sexy lover. You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: You know, I take exception to that. I've got somewhat
Speaker 4: old skin. I'm pretty sure we uh.
Speaker 5: We well light skin, and your category is very compare
Speaker 5: in New Orleans to one another. And yeah, I mean,
Speaker 5: you're not too many shades off from me, and I'm
Speaker 5: I'm on the darker side.
Speaker 3: But about me, like you you you white, just you go,
Speaker 3: you go.
Speaker 4: We're not doing this.
Speaker 3: This is not okay. We could do it over the radio,
Speaker 3: but we are not going to do this live and
Speaker 3: in person. I mean, we're just not going to do it.
Speaker 3: But I will say I look like a paper towl.
Speaker 3: That still a far huh.
Speaker 5: Some of some of Qu's mannerisms when he got a
Speaker 5: little bit of oil in him are very light skin.
Speaker 3: That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 6: Me.
Speaker 3: Damn, I just gonna say.
Speaker 5: And you see the way people flock to lightskin cats, man,
Speaker 5: they just seem more. They just seemed more, you know,
Speaker 5: like approachable, you know, very like seem like more attractive
Speaker 5: to My name is Tyrone.
Speaker 3: I get it, bro, I get it. That's what I'm
Speaker 3: trying to say.
Speaker 5: And in the end, the point of the matter is
Speaker 5: is that if I was Kendrick Lamar and you was
Speaker 5: Drake at that bar on Thursday in New Orleans, Drake
Speaker 5: was still winning.
Speaker 3: That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 5: And that was culminated by a win and a dub
Speaker 5: by Canada in this this World Cup last night.
Speaker 4: That's I take one excep with the format, and I
Speaker 4: realized we have an NHL season to play and so
Speaker 4: we can't drag this thing out. But they split. It
Speaker 4: was a round robin. They got to play twice, the USA,
Speaker 4: one on their turf. The first time they won on
Speaker 4: the USA's turf. It feels like for the championship it
Speaker 4: should be like a best of three, like, let them
Speaker 4: play at least one two more games to figure this
Speaker 4: thing out. Now, this is gonna sound like a sore
Speaker 4: loser Tenny Canadians out there, And if you feel that way,
Speaker 4: I'm just saying you got beat up the first time around.
Speaker 4: We took it on the chin this last time. I'd
Speaker 4: love to see two more. Let's running back, let's run
Speaker 4: it back. I'd love to see I'd love to see
Speaker 4: a best of three for the actual championship of the
Speaker 4: four nations as opposed to the whole round robin you
Speaker 4: know format, which again, it just I understand how it works.
Speaker 4: It just it would have been nice to see a
Speaker 4: best of three series.
Speaker 2: Somebody brought it up post game. Might have been Steve
Speaker 2: Levy or got to forget who Ray Ferr. Somebody made
Speaker 2: the comment that there was an idea that was floated
Speaker 2: out there kind of in jest, like, eh, well what
Speaker 2: about this thought that they would you know, you don't
Speaker 2: really need anybody else if you just every year did
Speaker 2: a hey, just for the hell of it, best of
Speaker 2: five series between the US and Canada and hockey.
Speaker 3: That's all you need.
Speaker 2: People would watch like, you don't need Finland, you don't
Speaker 2: need no Like, just have those two go at it yearly.
Speaker 2: Make it a tradition, do some sort of a.
Speaker 4: I like it.
Speaker 3: It's fun, man, Like, you know, does that apply to
Speaker 3: the NBA. Maybe the NBA could stand and learn something
Speaker 3: from it.
Speaker 2: A coros VERSUS Americans a couple of years ago, Baseball
Speaker 2: did this World Baseball Classic.
Speaker 3: Before that, I mean we would lose, we would get
Speaker 3: our asses kicked, but people but people loved it because
Speaker 3: we would lose. That one.
Speaker 2: You saw you know, up and coming stars. You saw
Speaker 2: all these players from Japan that nobody had seen before.
Speaker 2: It was aged in the US at different ballparks around
Speaker 2: and it was before spring training, before the season or
Speaker 2: in the midst of spring training, and they're going to
Speaker 2: bring it back. I think in twenty twenty six is
Speaker 2: when it comes back. But you saw that there was
Speaker 2: a wow. This worked a lot better than we thought
Speaker 2: it was going to. And this had the same feel
Speaker 2: last night to where they kind of fell upon something
Speaker 2: that they've got to build on. And for as much
Speaker 2: as we want to say about well it's you know,
Speaker 2: it's hockey and how many people care about it in
Speaker 2: this country, I guarantee you people will start following the
Speaker 2: sport and start following the NHL based.
Speaker 5: On what an easy marketable deal, right, you can leverage
Speaker 5: that in the market. It's relevant within each market. And
Speaker 5: let me ask you, what do you think the percentage
Speaker 5: of Canadians playing in the NHL are plus you'd have
Speaker 5: you have NHL franchises that are in Canada, So like
Speaker 5: what would that like, what would that population be? I'm
Speaker 5: sure it's significant enough. I know we get their biggest
Speaker 5: stars coming to play in the NHL. Listen, like, imagine
Speaker 5: that Canada to the way three percent.
Speaker 4: Just a little history on this, uh, dating back to
Speaker 4: the nineteen eighties, it will used to be seventy five percent.
Speaker 3: Town.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're better taken. I mean in theory, you would
Speaker 2: consider them to be better. I mean, I just would.
Speaker 3: I think it would be interesting and and honestly, maybe
Speaker 3: every single sport could benefit from that.
Speaker 5: Instead of doing the Pro Bowl where you take the
Speaker 5: All pros and you do this weird ass water down deal,
Speaker 5: have them play the best mother lovers that play in
Speaker 5: Canada have had like the second tier guys.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't watch that.
Speaker 5: Just somehow that they could field a team. No, bro,
Speaker 5: they played football in Canada. I don't know if you
Speaker 5: watch Canadian football. They played football in Canada. All I'm
Speaker 5: gonna say is it would bring a different market into
Speaker 5: watching a singular game because of the pride of Canada
Speaker 5: versus the US. The US versus Canada. Don't use the
Speaker 5: best of the best, Use those ones, give them a
Speaker 5: bonus and send them out there and have a real
Speaker 5: ass exhibition game against the best of the best in
Speaker 5: the Canadian Football League. That gives you what you want
Speaker 5: with the American viewers, It gives you what you want
Speaker 5: for the Canadian viewers, and it gives you an opportunity
Speaker 5: to showcase players that might have needed an opportunity to
Speaker 5: get some exposure.
Speaker 3: I would do it in basketball too. You want to
Speaker 3: make a.
Speaker 5: Different format that matters to the fan, where it's like
Speaker 5: there's a sense like Q was talking about earlier in
Speaker 5: the week, where.
Speaker 3: There's a sense of pride or the intensity.
Speaker 5: You think an American NFL football player wants to lose
Speaker 5: a game to a Canadian League football player.
Speaker 3: Let them lose that game.
Speaker 5: You know how much scrutiny and criticism would come upon
Speaker 5: the NFL and the players if they lost.
Speaker 3: I guarantee you, with that bonus.
Speaker 5: Money and with them playing that game with the pride
Speaker 5: of the USA, they would play their asses off.
Speaker 4: It's like the Olympics watching the NBA. You know, players
Speaker 4: go over and playing the Olympics for USA.
Speaker 5: You don't want to see them lose. Yeah, you you
Speaker 5: do not want to see. What we believe is we're
Speaker 5: the superpower. We are the ones that are superior to
Speaker 5: everybody else.
Speaker 3: If you lose, it is the end of the world
Speaker 3: unless you bet on the other team. Oh, you know,
Speaker 3: like you like who they have.
Speaker 2: I think the Sudan uh they almost won, took the
Speaker 2: US to the wire last year or something like that one.
Speaker 2: I mean you got them at plus forty or something.
Speaker 2: That's a big pay yeah, but that's you.
Speaker 5: You're moving the gold post like like forget Sudan, like
Speaker 5: like I'm saying, take the superpower of taking the best players, which,
Speaker 5: by the way, a lot of those players are American
Speaker 5: football players that air quotes did not We're not able
Speaker 5: to make get playing in the NFL. Imagine you take
Speaker 5: the All Stars, the best of the best out of
Speaker 5: the Canadian Football League, off their teams. You put them
Speaker 5: together and they represent Canada in an exhibition game against
Speaker 5: what would be perceived as the best of the best
Speaker 5: of the NFL. But it would not be the best
Speaker 5: of the best. You're not You're not putting Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 5: or Josh Allen out there. You're putting Dak Prescott, Chad
Speaker 5: Kelly lighting up Vic Fangio's defense.
Speaker 3: Come on, man, come on, man.
Speaker 5: Scott, you tell me you wouldn't want to I would
Speaker 5: rather attend that game than the Super Bowl. I would
Speaker 5: actually want a ticket to go watch that game.
Speaker 4: Jonas is an idiot.
Speaker 3: He was an idiot.
Speaker 4: I did not realize how he slipped that in there.
Speaker 4: Chad Kelly is not born in Canada. Jonas places for
Speaker 4: the CFL. I figure it doesn't mean he's gonna represent that.
Speaker 2: You think he could do a twenty three and meter
Speaker 2: and find out he's got a relative from Toronto somewhere.
Speaker 4: Probably not. Dang well, I mean, are you basing that
Speaker 4: off of just him being related to Jim Kelly and
Speaker 4: inside of the house situation. You know, it feels like
Speaker 4: a loose accusation that I'm saying that far off. There's
Speaker 4: something wrong.
Speaker 5: Jonas loves slipping in weird little sad boards. I figured
Speaker 5: that's what he meant. I didn't know who the second
Speaker 5: one was, but I knew who the first one was,
Speaker 5: so it's fine.
Speaker 4: She she didn't see when he gave you that little grin.
Speaker 3: He looked over with the you know, with his little
Speaker 3: fang hanging out his mouth.
Speaker 4: Here's Here's all I know is I'm watching the game,
Speaker 4: and during the course of the game, it comes across
Speaker 4: my mind. Oh yeah, Lee was supposed to be going
Speaker 4: out tonight.
Speaker 3: Yeah did you go out? Oh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure did went to Uh oh did you hear
Speaker 5: the way? Responded sure did? He is lit up?
Speaker 3: There's number two. Check off number two. Hey, what's the
Speaker 3: what what damage you do last night? Perfect ingredients?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Damn? Check number three? I p a quick quick shot
Speaker 3: when the lady went to the bathroom.
Speaker 4: Lady Lady hold On, explain how that works? So she
Speaker 4: gets something, says to you, Hey, iy, I doted use
Speaker 4: the bathroom real quick? Are you waiting until she's far
Speaker 4: enough away where you can bet?
Speaker 3: Bartender?
Speaker 4: Bartender and you're like trying to get him to rush
Speaker 4: over to her?
Speaker 3: She and yes, I did.
Speaker 7: I got Maria and caught her attention, said hey, can
Speaker 7: I have a quick one? And you know we sometimes
Speaker 7: they they kind of get they kind of get the
Speaker 7: game on. Got to make sure you clarify what I'm
Speaker 7: I'm kicking it with a nice gentleman who's in town
Speaker 7: from Boston. He's watching them, he's watching the game. His wait,
Speaker 7: he's waiting for a table for his kids are waiting
Speaker 7: for a table. And I said, hey, you mind me
Speaker 7: putting this shot glass in front of you? Slide it
Speaker 7: right over. And then she comes back. She's none the wiser.
Speaker 7: So I have myself an I p a is shot
Speaker 7: and then uh, and then she goes to the movie
Speaker 7: and I have myself a little long island. As I'm
Speaker 7: paying the be out the door, Hey did you go
Speaker 7: meet her at the movie?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: OK, and if you're doing an I P A A
Speaker 2: shot and a Long Island, you gotta suck it back
Speaker 2: quick so she doesn't know. She clearly doesn't care about you,
Speaker 2: probably floating by the time he walked in there.
Speaker 3: Listen to what he said. She left him twice for
Speaker 3: the bathroom.
Speaker 5: So do you leave your your crackhead buddy, family member, boyfriend,
Speaker 5: girlfriend alone in front of a crack dealer? I mean,
Speaker 5: you want some rocks crack his Why I'm not gonna

Speaker 3: Yeah, wait to violate her.
Speaker 5: You don't really care about you, Lee. She left you
Speaker 5: there knowing that you was at the bar by yourself.
Speaker 2: Come on, man, if she knew he was sucking back
Speaker 2: Long Islands and IPAs, he would.
Speaker 5: Have walked into a gatling gun in the theater. Bro,
Speaker 5: do you understand when somebody doesn't want you to do something?
Speaker 5: You know what she would have said, walked me to
Speaker 5: the restroom. You know what she'd have said, You're going
Speaker 5: to the entrance with me. Maybe you haven't experienced that
Speaker 5: either yourself, Jonas, But I'm just trying to tell you.
Speaker 5: If somebody cares that much about what you're doing. Look,
Speaker 5: he drinking something right now. If you were to do
Speaker 5: something that somebody that loves you cares about you not doing,
Speaker 5: like say, drinking too much, you're not going to walk
Speaker 5: away from them one time and leave them there. Let
Speaker 5: alone go there the first time, Like, we're not going
Speaker 5: to the bar together. That's first and foremost. Then I'm
Speaker 5: certainly not going to leave you one time at the bar.
Speaker 5: Then secondly, I'm not going to leave you two times like, oh,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go get the popcorn and and the skittles
Speaker 5: and and the bond bonds at at the you know,
Speaker 5: come on, man, you gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 3: She wanted you to drink broh. She wants you to

Speaker 3: letting you booze up because she's got a place to stay. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're all in case you might get evicted. She's free.
Speaker 4: Sit She has been on her best behaviors.
Speaker 3: Yes, there you go, no throwing booze across the room.
Speaker 2: Now, by the way, there's a guy on Venice Beach
Speaker 2: listening on the iHeartRadio app in a Coleman tent, looking around,
Speaker 2: going I don't want his situation.
Speaker 3: I'll take what I got here. I'll just deal with it. Oh,
Speaker 3: my plots are the best. They are the best.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio App.
Speaker 2: We turn it over to a man who I believe
Speaker 2: he's in the Alps. He is currently trying to win
Speaker 2: a slalom championship for the Northeast. He's the one and
Speaker 2: only Albert Breer, the star of Amazon's Thursday night coverage
Speaker 2: on NFL on Prime their insider, senior NFL reporter, lead
Speaker 2: content strategist at the MMQB. Get him on ex at
Speaker 2: Albert Breer ab how is the powder this week?
Speaker 8: Well, I am a pretty good skier, but no competition
Speaker 8: this week for me. We are driving from from one
Speaker 8: mountain to another right now, so this might be an
Speaker 8: all time performance for my phone. We'll see. Got a
Speaker 8: car full of kids too, if that helps. Sweet build
Speaker 8: the atmosphere for you guys a little bit here.
Speaker 4: Is there any chance that we get some of the
Speaker 4: kids chiming in or maybe someone getting scolded in the car.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, that's definitely possible. I'd say that's in play
Speaker 8: right now for the next fifteen minutes or so.
Speaker 5: We'll do it. Happen awesome one of them, and he
Speaker 5: was getting scolded when y'all were heading to the.
Speaker 3: Hockey Championship.
Speaker 8: My wife, my wife's sitting right next to me, was horrified.
Speaker 5: High wife, It's okay though, that's good parenting. We could
Speaker 5: tell y'all were that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's why I took it off the bluetooth and
Speaker 8: I'm on, I'm going handheld here, even though I'm not
Speaker 8: sure if it's legal or not Vermont, I have I
Speaker 8: have the phone in my ear right now.
Speaker 5: How does the ice skating skills of your child translate
Speaker 5: to him on on the skis and on the slopes.
Speaker 8: Is this it actually yeah, it's actually you know what,
Speaker 8: like it really does help because you know, I think
Speaker 8: one thing off like and growing up here you sort
Speaker 8: of learn how to do both, and you know, it's
Speaker 8: just it's learning. It's a like not having a fear
Speaker 8: of something being really like slippery underneath your feet, right
Speaker 8: like something concerning about that. The actual act of skiing
Speaker 8: versus skating is the same is that you're you're skating
Speaker 8: on the edges of your skates, right like, You're not
Speaker 8: skating on the flat part of your skates, which is
Speaker 8: the same as skis. So if you learn a ski
Speaker 8: on your edges, you'll learn how to skitches too. So
Speaker 8: there's definitely some carryover if you want the technical explanation.
Speaker 3: For larn there you go.
Speaker 5: Was there a carry over into that Canadian USA game
Speaker 5: last night? Did you guys watch it? How did you
Speaker 5: feel about it?
Speaker 8: That was awesome, wasn't it?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 8: I mean the intense I mean that was that was incredible, incredible,
Speaker 8: incredible level of competition. And it's like, now, I don't
Speaker 8: know that that would transfer over to any other sport,
Speaker 8: but you could do that in any other sport and
Speaker 8: replacing an All Star game.
Speaker 3: But I mean, boy, all right, so Albert Breer with
Speaker 3: us here.
Speaker 4: You move this interview off just so that we could
Speaker 4: be right here in the middle.
Speaker 3: Of the mountains.
Speaker 2: So Albert, I have a so football question for you
Speaker 2: here the Matt Stafford stuff that's out there where you know, Well,
Speaker 2: there's money, he wants more. There's the potential. We talked
Speaker 2: to you about this in New Orleans and you said, no,
Speaker 2: there's like a real potential. Maybe he's not back with
Speaker 2: the Rams. Is this strictly money or is there maybe
Speaker 2: more here because it seems like that's a great spot
Speaker 2: for him. Maybe he would cut him a deal. Yet
Speaker 2: he has to be paid in the top ten according
Speaker 2: to some reports.
Speaker 8: Well yeah, it's it's a few different things. It's money
Speaker 8: for sure. And look like you know, LeVar Brady, you
Speaker 8: guys know how this stuff goes through your players. Like
Speaker 8: the the raise he got last year, a five million
Speaker 8: dollar raise he got last year wasn't really a raise.
Speaker 8: It was they were moving money forward. So they borrowed
Speaker 8: four million dollars from this year and a million dollars
Speaker 8: from next year to give him a five million dollar raise.
Speaker 8: So that basically means like, yes, it's a five million
Speaker 8: dollar raise on paper for that particular year, but now
Speaker 8: it's a pay cut a future year, so you have
Speaker 8: to reckon with that. That negotiation was very difficult, took
Speaker 8: about six months for them to find a solution. The
Speaker 8: solution was very clearly a band aid, and everybody knew
Speaker 8: they were going back to the table and that's where
Speaker 8: they are now now. I think for Stafford, definitely, you know,
Speaker 8: you want to you want to be where the market
Speaker 8: is and do you want some guarantees in there, and
Speaker 8: you want to know you're going to be the starting
Speaker 8: quarterback and all that different stuff. As silly as that sounds,
Speaker 8: but that's part of it. No, boy, you know, they're
Speaker 8: much they're much younger than they were a couple of
Speaker 8: years ago, and you know, so they're building around this
Speaker 8: younger core, and so the question becomes, do you want
Speaker 8: to pay all that money and still go to year
Speaker 8: to year? So, in other words, is Matthew Stafford telling
Speaker 8: you I'm good for this year or is he telling
Speaker 8: you I'm good for the next three years? And if
Speaker 8: you're gonna give them a ton of guaranteed money, are you, okay,
Speaker 8: if it's just for this year and then next year
Speaker 8: you're right back here worrying about your quarterback situation again.
Speaker 8: Or if somebody comes along with the first round picker,
Speaker 8: you better off trading him for a first round pick
Speaker 8: and going find going and finding a bridge like a
Speaker 8: Sam Darnold or somebody like that, where you've got a
Speaker 8: little bit more certainty beyond this year. It's complicated for
Speaker 8: all those different reasons. I think Matthew wants to remain
Speaker 8: a Ram and wants to keep playing for Sean mcday.
Speaker 8: I know Sean McVay wants Matthew Stafford to be his quarterback.
Speaker 8: But whether or not they can find a common ground
Speaker 8: contractually and an agreement on what his plan is, not
Speaker 8: just for this year but going forward, I think all
Speaker 8: that's the stuff that needs to be worked out. Probably,
Speaker 8: you know, one way or the other, you're you're going
Speaker 8: to get closer to closure on it at the combine
Speaker 8: next week.
Speaker 4: Albert, I'm going to ask you about Rogers. Do you
Speaker 4: think he's done or do you think he wants to
Speaker 4: keep playing. If he does keep playing, where would be
Speaker 4: the best destination for him.
Speaker 8: Well, so he told the Jets that he intends to
Speaker 8: play in twenty twenty five when they were going through everything.
Speaker 8: Now you and I both know Brady like that can change,
Speaker 8: but like that was his intention, and he said that
Speaker 8: was his intention to the Jets. I also know, just
Speaker 8: for my communication with him, you know, and sitting down
Speaker 8: with them for a while last summer like that, you know,
Speaker 8: he really felt like he had unfinished business coming off
Speaker 8: the Achilles and he didn't want to go out like that,
Speaker 8: and off the area that the Jets have, I'd imagine
Speaker 8: he wouldn't want to go out like this either. So
Speaker 8: so yeah, I mean I think he wants to play.
Speaker 8: And you know, now the question becomes the Jets release him,
Speaker 8: do they try to trade him? You know, they're still
Speaker 8: working through how like the divorce is actually gonna be consummated.
Speaker 8: As for like places that I think would have some
Speaker 8: interest in them, I mean, for me, like Pittsburgh's the
Speaker 8: ultimate one for Stafford, for Rogers. As far as like
Speaker 8: a team that could use like an answer for right
Speaker 8: now that has a lot of guys and a lot
Speaker 8: of pieces in place, the pep for championship right now.
Speaker 8: You know, I think Rogers would love the idea of
Speaker 8: going to the Rams. You know, he lives in Los Angeles,
Speaker 8: so that's obviously a part of it. With the Raiders,
Speaker 8: with Pete Carroll look at him and with Aaron be
Speaker 8: enticed by that, even though like they aren't as close
Speaker 8: or anywhere near as close to compete for a championship
Speaker 8: as the Steelers are. You know, I I see all
Speaker 8: those sort of as as possibilities. And again, like I think,
Speaker 8: like his amount of opportunity is gonna be very narrow
Speaker 8: because you're gonna have to check a lot of boxes
Speaker 8: to want him, and you're gonna have to check a
Speaker 8: lot of boxes for him to want you. And you know,
Speaker 8: like then there's the whole thing is like you know
Speaker 8: it is he's still capable of playing at a high
Speaker 8: level over seventeen THINKU up flashes of it at the
Speaker 8: end of last year, the Jack in particular.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's still there.
Speaker 8: I'm here, all right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're going a little bit down at the risk
Speaker 5: of it going out again, I'm gonna ask you, and.
Speaker 8: It's gonna be an all the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no worse, no worse, don't really Kujas in the
Speaker 2: background tearing to somebody.
Speaker 5: So it's a good can I ask you the Michael
Speaker 5: Parsons contract situation. Is there anything that we could be missing?
Speaker 5: You know, when there's a new coach, it's always always
Speaker 5: say you go into the Russian Roulette type of play.
Speaker 5: You keep removing bullets from the chamber. Oh not from
Speaker 5: the chamber, but from like just the whole entire you know,
Speaker 5: deal when when you get a new coach, like remove
Speaker 5: it because you're not that guy. You know, you get
Speaker 5: removed from one more guy.
Speaker 3: It's not that guy. Next thing, you know, you know,
Speaker 3: the bullets in the chamber.
Speaker 5: Is there any way that Michael Mike Michael Parsons could
Speaker 5: be I guess viewed differently than what everybody's looking at
Speaker 5: and saying, Okay, we need to build our offense up,
Speaker 5: which they do and that's probably the biggest priority than
Speaker 5: anything else. Does that does Micah's contract situation supersede or
Speaker 5: does it fall in line with what Jerry Jones is
Speaker 5: going to have to spend in order to one keep
Speaker 5: him and keep him happy, but to make this this
Speaker 5: team better for for Shottenheimer.
Speaker 8: All right, So like LaVar, if you're talking about him
Speaker 8: as a player, I don't think there's any disagreement. He's
Speaker 8: a unique talent. You know that better than anybody he's
Speaker 8: I think if you look in the craft even you
Speaker 8: can see like psychabul Carter and Jalen Walker from from
Speaker 8: Jordan Jorge. Yeah, it's almost like it's almost like Micah
Speaker 8: like launched new genre, you know of like this kind
Speaker 8: of Swiss army, nice pass rusher who can also play
Speaker 8: off the line and all that. So I think everybody's
Speaker 8: an agreement on what type of player he is. Some
Speaker 8: of his relationships in that building were strained, and I
Speaker 8: I like that whether or not the content last off season,
Speaker 8: but I know, like when their new coach come in
Speaker 8: and anybody who's been around Brian Schottenheimer coach, I'm the
Speaker 8: other person he is right like and how he's got
Speaker 8: like a little bit of that Pete Carroll to him,
Speaker 8: where he's very like just an optimistic guy who's don't
Speaker 8: work with anybody that may wind up solving some of
Speaker 8: the things. You know, Now the question becomes are you
Speaker 8: willing to pay him forty million dollars per year? Because
Speaker 8: I think that's probably where the number is gonna wind
Speaker 8: up being. And if you have a hard time wrapping
Speaker 8: your heads around it after you pay Ceedee Lamb thirty
Speaker 8: four million and Dak Prescott sixty million. You know, if
Speaker 8: a team calls and offers you to first round picks
Speaker 8: and is willing to pay the forty million dollars that
Speaker 8: Micah Parsons probably will want, are you going to listen?
Speaker 8: And I think that that's where this is right now. Like,
Speaker 8: I don't think the Cowboys are going to call around
Speaker 8: and shop him or anything else, but I think enough
Speaker 8: people have heard about some of the relationship issues from
Speaker 8: last off season there that if they're willing to pay
Speaker 8: what it's going to take to go and get them,
Speaker 8: then like yes, you pick up the phone and you see, okay,
Speaker 8: Like are they going to hang up on us? Are
Speaker 8: they going to listen to us? So I think that's
Speaker 8: sort of where it's at, you know. And again like
Speaker 8: I don't know, you know, I don't know what the
Speaker 8: cowboys appetite for listening is right now, but based on
Speaker 8: where it was six months ago in base, on how
Speaker 8: much they paid those two other guys, I mean, I
Speaker 8: would think there probably is a price point where they
Speaker 8: would have to think about it.
Speaker 3: Wow. Interesting.
Speaker 4: However, I got one more quick one. The Combine's coming
Speaker 4: up in Indianapolis. How much longer will the combine be
Speaker 4: in Indy?
Speaker 8: You know, I don't know if there's like now, it's
Speaker 8: like if we are maxed to.
Speaker 3: Thank jez, we got greedy. We did huh damn, we
Speaker 3: weren't greedy. Yeah, you know that's unfortunate. Well, the mountains
Speaker 3: are due to you.
Speaker 9: Listen Albert Brier assuming uh you know, oh, there is
Speaker 9: there he is, all right, there we go all.
Speaker 8: Right, yeah, yeah, okay, So the teams are sensitive about
Speaker 8: it is the metal.
Speaker 3: We're not good. Yeah, yeah, we're not good. I mean, listen,
Speaker 3: you know we're not good.
Speaker 5: But we want you to be safe. Ab make sure
Speaker 5: we get to your neck. Yeah, you're going in and
Speaker 5: out so much. Just just be careful and be safe.
Speaker 8: And it was it was a valiant effort.
Speaker 6: It was.
Speaker 3: It was we can actually hear you now.
Speaker 8: Okay, Well you guys want to finish.
Speaker 3: Come on, yeah yeah, Megan, hit it quick too, before
Speaker 3: you go back out.
Speaker 8: I think the medical.
Speaker 4: Do you smell that smells like sum them down?
Speaker 3: Oh come on, somebody? Oh geez, well, geez, Johnny, you
Speaker 3: don't have to pop on that.

Speaker 2: By the way, apparently this was thought to be some
Speaker 2: breaking news, but the New York Yankees are finally going
Speaker 2: to allow facial hair for their players for the first
Speaker 2: time in forty nine years. So congratulations to everybody who
Speaker 2: can grow a beer the place for the Yankees. You know,
Speaker 2: I don't have to shave that bad boy. Got of
Speaker 2: a tradition there in baseball. So that that'll wrap up
Speaker 2: our coverage of Major League Baseball here on this Friday,
Speaker 2: we do transition over to this which should be a
Speaker 2: sad tale, especially for you guys. There was a decision
Speaker 2: that was made, and that decision is that, according to
Speaker 2: the Sports Business Journal, USC and Texas have canceled their
Speaker 2: spring game this year. Ohio State and Nebraska have done
Speaker 2: the same, And so it feels like this is another
Speaker 2: aspect of nil the growth of the sport, the change
Speaker 2: in the sport. But apparently spring games are on borrowed
Speaker 2: time and they're going to move and be moving away
Speaker 2: from that great tradition.
Speaker 3: So there's that do with that one? Do you want
Speaker 3: that one?
Speaker 4: First? It's disappointing in part because here's what's getting lost
Speaker 4: on everything is we're now making decisions on a sport
Speaker 4: at it's not an amateur level anymore, but it's at
Speaker 4: a lower level where there's still a ton of development
Speaker 4: that goes on. I mean, you've got a son that's
Speaker 4: now enrolled at Penn State. Imagine what he's going to
Speaker 4: look like, be like, play like in three or four years.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. And what bothers me about
Speaker 4: this is we're making decisions to take away bring games
Speaker 4: for two reasons, all right. And we're talking about like
Speaker 4: top school, blue blood schools, you know, USC, Texas, I
Speaker 4: think Ohio State. They're all opting instead of having a
Speaker 4: spring game, basically having what the NFL has and having
Speaker 4: like OTAs. And it's for two reasons. The first is
Speaker 4: injury related. There's concern about injuries, which I mean, maybe
Speaker 4: I'm missing something. Has that not always been the concern? Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's literally always been a reason for concern for every
Speaker 4: coach in every college football program in the history of
Speaker 4: college football. So that's the first thing. The second, though,
Speaker 4: that's most important and probably trumps all of it, is
Speaker 4: it's the money aspect that's involved with you know, whether
Speaker 4: a guy's playing and starting if he's not using the
Speaker 4: transfer portal to get somewhere else. You know, when I
Speaker 4: mentioned injuries, there's an element of guys not wanting to
Speaker 4: do it because they're slated to go in the first
Speaker 4: round after the next fall. You know, why do they
Speaker 4: have to be a part of it, which I mean
Speaker 4: in all honestly, they can just sit out and let
Speaker 4: some younger guys play. But it's the money aspect of things,
Speaker 4: because you've got players who are looking at that spring
Speaker 4: game and being told by their agents, being told by
Speaker 4: their caretakers, whoever it is that they're you know, this
Speaker 4: is where you're on the depth chart. If you want
Speaker 4: to leave, you and go play somewhere else, get paid more.
Speaker 4: And so now they're looking at these spring games as
Speaker 4: an indication of that. So coaches are fearful about putting
Speaker 4: out depth charts, having guys go out there and play
Speaker 4: in these spring games because they don't want to lose
Speaker 4: players potentially to not playing as much in the spring
Speaker 4: game or or you know, having a poor performance and
Speaker 4: now all of a sudden, they're not gonna be a
Speaker 4: guy that's gonna be viewed as a starter going into camp.
Speaker 4: So they've got this window to transfer. I'm gonna go.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go jet and go try to find more
Speaker 4: money elsewhere at a place where I can start and play. So,
Speaker 4: like I understand in saying all this too, people are
Speaker 4: gonna say, well, yeah, shouldn't that player have the opportunity
Speaker 4: to do that if they want? Sure, if that's if
Speaker 4: that's how you see this, Like if you don't believe
Speaker 4: in development, if you don't believe in trying to develop,
Speaker 4: and maybe there's a point in time where you're not ready,
Speaker 4: and maybe that's what this is. Like there's a bigger
Speaker 4: story here about life where at times you can get
Speaker 4: exposed and say like maybe I'm not ready yet, maybe
Speaker 4: I need more time, maybe I need more development instead
Speaker 4: of just going somewhere else because I'm not getting an
Speaker 4: opportunity here at one of these bigger schools. But that's
Speaker 4: in essence what you're seeing, and it stinks, It quite
Speaker 4: honestly stinks.
Speaker 3: It's a great event.
Speaker 4: The spring game is a great event for a lot
Speaker 4: of folks around the university, not just football, but like
Speaker 4: everyone else, other sports teams, other students, other people around,
Speaker 4: you know, the alumni that come in for it, and
Speaker 4: so it's disappointing now that's not going to exist the
Speaker 4: way I once did.
Speaker 5: I'll say I watched the evolution of the spring game
Speaker 5: from when I played to now, and it is certainly
Speaker 5: taking on a different a different feel. And I said
Speaker 5: this maybe six years ago. It's like the attendance isn't
Speaker 5: the same, Like there have been times where they reported
Speaker 5: some really really great crowds. And I'll just say, in
Speaker 5: particular specific I've been to several, you know, different schools
Speaker 5: where I've gone to their spring games in recent years
Speaker 5: and the game wasn't you know, it wasn't a game anymore.
Speaker 5: But I would say more specifically, because I go to
Speaker 5: Penn State pretty much every year, I watched the evolution
Speaker 5: of it, and it has slowly turned into a glorified
Speaker 5: practice in front of the public. The fans are able
Speaker 5: to come out and watch the team practice because it
Speaker 5: was not they call it the spring game, but it
Speaker 5: did not come across as a game at all. The punts,
Speaker 5: the kickoffs, it was controlled and it was ran just
Speaker 5: like it was a period in practice. The way the
Speaker 5: way the game quotes was ran. It was ran like
Speaker 5: a practice you blew the whistle did. At a certain point,
Speaker 5: running backs weren't being taken to the ground, let alone
Speaker 5: in a pass rusher getting close to the quarterback in
Speaker 5: passing downs. So to me, it was the spring game
Speaker 5: has ultimately turned into what would be perceived as a
Speaker 5: spring practice, a public practice that is held in the
Speaker 5: main stadium and people are able to come watch and attend,
Speaker 5: and it's a it's considered to be a preseason or
Speaker 5: precursor to what the team may look like going into
Speaker 5: the next season, is how I would look at it.
Speaker 5: So I don't know that it's based off of the
Speaker 5: current NIL or transfer portal as to why the game
Speaker 5: has evolved, but I do think that there are reasons
Speaker 5: why coaches have evolved what the game has red present
Speaker 5: it because when I played, it was really a game.
Speaker 5: You had blue versus white, and you came out and
Speaker 5: it was literally a real game. It was a game
Speaker 5: who's going to win the game? It was tackling. Now,
Speaker 5: we weren't able to tackle the quarterback. That was something
Speaker 5: we weren't able to do even when I was in school.
Speaker 5: But everything else was live, Everything else was live. That's
Speaker 5: just not how it is anymore. And it's interesting because
Speaker 5: I don't see the amount of people coming out to
Speaker 5: watch it like they did, like it was literally like
Speaker 5: a game when I played. It's more like people are
Speaker 5: coming out. It's kind of festive. It's not as much
Speaker 5: festive things as there would be if it was a
Speaker 5: regular game Saturday during the season, but it's still a
Speaker 5: little festive. People are able to come out. The weather's
Speaker 5: changed and they do some tailgating, they have some fun,
Speaker 5: they go and watch the game, but it's pretty light.
Speaker 3: It's very light anymore. So I don't know. It's an
Speaker 3: evolution of what where the sport is.
Speaker 5: I'm certain now now that we're looking at it, with
Speaker 5: the NIL and the transfer portal being more prevalent and
Speaker 5: being you know, a part of college sports, it definitely
Speaker 5: is playing a part in it now. But I think
Speaker 5: that the game has has continued to evolve from the
Speaker 5: nineties to where we are now, you know, and you know,
Speaker 5: the twenty twenties of what's going on in you know,
Speaker 5: college football. That was one of those aspects of college
Speaker 5: football that I didn't understand until I got to a
Speaker 5: place that really loved college football, because growing up in
Speaker 5: southern California, it's not like, hey, man, USC UCLA spring
Speaker 5: games right around the corner, you guys going it. Just
Speaker 5: it didn't have that that gravity there wasn't you know,
Speaker 5: there's not that appeal, that interest in it. But then
Speaker 5: you get out to SEC country, ACC country, and it's like, wait,
Speaker 5: you eighty thousand people show up to your spring games.
Speaker 5: Really that might be, but there are places where they
Speaker 5: were doing eighty to one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 3: That might be a little embellished. You don't think last.
Speaker 4: Year I called again, I was there for it might
Speaker 4: be one hundred percent.
Speaker 5: That might be a little embellished, that's all I'll say.
Speaker 5: Definitely wasn't that might be. I could dig it might
Speaker 5: be a little embellished. I know you feel inferior to
Speaker 5: them at this point. I don't feel inferior. I could
Speaker 5: admit that I don't feel inferior at all. It could
Speaker 5: be a low embellished.
Speaker 2: Okay, but we'll call it seventy five thousand, all right,
Speaker 2: we'll round down. But the point is it's a practice
Speaker 2: game in which sixty to seventy to eighty, et cetera,
Speaker 2: et cetera, A thousand people show up to watch their team,
Speaker 2: and yeah, there may not be a benefit from a
Speaker 2: financial standpoint to the players, or I know, like Mike
Speaker 2: Florio took the approach of well, they can't make money
Speaker 2: off it.
Speaker 3: But I would imagine for that.
Speaker 2: Town, like the businesses around that town, of course, that's
Speaker 2: a huge money maker. And now the opportunity's gone because
Speaker 2: things are changing the way they are.
Speaker 4: April thirteenth, twenty twenty four, Ohio State has eightyenty twelve
Speaker 4: people who attend the spring game there at Ohio City.
Speaker 4: Other notable big I guess spring game attendance is you
Speaker 4: had Alabama at seventy two thousand, three hundred and fifty eight,
Speaker 4: reportedly Nebraska at sixty thousand and four to fifty two.
Speaker 3: Michigan Notre Dame, and it goes down from here.
Speaker 4: Oklahoma had forty five thousand and eight sixty one, Clemson
Speaker 4: with forty seven thousand fans. Notre Dame had about thirty
Speaker 4: seven hundred and twenty eight. So, God being ballast, I'm
Speaker 4: not only going to send you the article with this,
Speaker 4: I'm actually going to send you the fact they have
Speaker 4: video evidence to go along with it.
Speaker 3: I don't know that video evidence would give a you
Speaker 3: are you going to sit there and count?
Speaker 4: I'm not, but it feels like this is a weird
Speaker 4: hill to die on.
Speaker 3: I don't need to die on it. I'm not dying
Speaker 3: on it, and I'm not going to argue with about it.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying I could stand on it, standing on
Speaker 3: that hill.
Speaker 5: You standing on that? I just said it could be
Speaker 5: I mean I could be wrong. Hey, forget about movie
Speaker 5: balancing on like a pogo. Stay, let's just move on. Hey,
Speaker 5: forget about it. Forget about it. Not to say what
Speaker 5: I said. I'm not going to die on that hill,
Speaker 5: but I said what i'd say, Lee. This is gonna
Speaker 5: be a weird request.
Speaker 3: But can you look this up?
Speaker 2: I believe that there was one year in which Georgia
Speaker 2: had a spring game and Ludacris showed up and handed
Speaker 2: out condoms. That was Kentucky and that was midnight. Man,
Speaker 2: I think that was I think that was a Georgia game.
Speaker 2: Georgia spring game?
Speaker 3: Was it?
Speaker 4: And if it was right and it was basketball, wouldn't
Speaker 4: you think would be Drake? If anyone good call, doesn't
Speaker 4: he kind of follow like the bandwagon programs?
Speaker 3: Yes, Kobe Roster Kentucky. I believe this was in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 7: Yes, it was Georgia, to the delight of ninety three
Speaker 7: thousand in attendance at Sanford Stadium.
Speaker 3: To the delight of ninety three thousand, and he brought
Speaker 3: U brought condoms, Yes he did.
Speaker 4: How about ninety three thousand condoms.
Speaker 7: I don't think he brought ninety three thousand condoms, But
Speaker 7: that was the attendance.
Speaker 3: Who paid for all those? USA? I d well done
Speaker 3: hard right hand by Quinn.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe it seems topical these days, you know.
Speaker 7: Wow, So Georgia actually apologized for giving Ludacris the condoms
Speaker 7: to get to hand out. They gave them to sixty
Speaker 7: five grand as well as well as two bottles of
Speaker 7: his own cognac.
Speaker 3: Wait say that again.
Speaker 7: Georgia apologizes for giving Luda sixty five k for the
Speaker 7: for the event, condoms and two bottles of his own cognac.
Speaker 5: But I think he was handing out the condoms. They
Speaker 5: gave him two bottles of his own cognac.
Speaker 3: A couple of balloon animals for the road. Other all that. Wow, okay,
Speaker 3: all right, better safe than sorry, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Very interesting?
Speaker 7: According to the contract, yeah, they a box of condoms
Speaker 7: was included in the the contract.
Speaker 4: Lee, What would you be looking for if you're a
Speaker 4: college student?
Speaker 3: Those two bottles? Yeah, it sounds about right.
Speaker 5: What do you do one of these now? And shot
Speaker 5: glasses instead of a condom? He'd used one out of
Speaker 5: the two.
Speaker 2: By the way, I am showing that Penn State will
Speaker 2: close its spring practice April twenty six.
Speaker 3: With the annual Blue White Game. Yeah, so are you
Speaker 3: going to be over there for spring game? Of course?
Speaker 3: I mean how many thousands of people would you say?
Speaker 3: The over under? I don't know. Yeah, for the attendance there,
Speaker 3: thirty twenty twenty five. But we'll we'll report forty. You know,
Speaker 3: it's messed up.
Speaker 5: Man will report whatever whatever number you know you could
Speaker 5: get too off of. I'll say this maybe at any
Speaker 5: one point in time, like everybody as a whole who
Speaker 5: comes in and goes out, I could see if the
Speaker 5: numbers got there that way. I could see if the
Speaker 5: numbers got that way, you're counting everybody who walks in,
Speaker 5: which I don't know how you keep.
Speaker 3: Track of AT. I don't know how you keep track
Speaker 3: of AT.
Speaker 4: I mean there's security measures where like you can have
Speaker 4: a counter this as part of whatever people are walking through, right.
Speaker 3: No, there's not. Some stadiums don't have counters. They don't
Speaker 3: have counters, so.
Speaker 4: When they when they scan your ticket, you don't think
Speaker 4: that counts as well.
Speaker 3: But I don't think they scan tickets at the Blue
Speaker 3: White Game.
Speaker 4: Oh I think they do. You have to nowadays for
Speaker 4: security measures.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 5: I'll pay attention more this year. I've never really used
Speaker 5: a ticket ever, so I don't know. But I know
Speaker 5: the few times that i've I did pay attention going
Speaker 5: into the Blue White Game. It'd be no different than
Speaker 5: just walking in to a practice or I don't think
Speaker 5: they had tickets. I don't think there's tickets to the game.
Speaker 2: I remember off the top of my head, Ohio State
Speaker 2: used to charge five bucks. Think it was five bucks
Speaker 2: and you got a ticket to go to the spring
Speaker 2: game back then.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't recalls. I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't recall their ever being charged to come to
Speaker 5: the spring game. I don't recall that. Not not for parking.
Speaker 5: It's like first come, first serve or whatever it is
Speaker 5: that they have set up. If you already have your
Speaker 5: your slip, your your parking space, like when you tailgate.
Speaker 5: Maybe it's still yours. I'm not I'm not certain. I
Speaker 5: don't want to speak out a term, but I do
Speaker 5: not think that they're you are presenting a ticket, you know, Lee?
Speaker 2: Can you check a couple of things, price to get
Speaker 2: into the Penn State spring game and also yearly attendance,
Speaker 2: because I want to see how big of a lie
Speaker 2: they told each year when it comes to just the numbers. Here,
Speaker 2: what's the price to get into that spring game?
Speaker 5: There?
Speaker 3: I'm seeing free for the Blue White game, but they
Speaker 3: can't hold on probably packing them in. They're not starting
Speaker 3: around twenty dollars. Okay, interesting the tickets for the Blue
Speaker 3: White game. Yeah, I'm seeing free for the Blue White game.
Speaker 3: Is that right?
Speaker 2: I'm pretty I'm pretty certain it's free. Yeah, well, it'll
Speaker 2: all be gone.
Speaker 3: Here fingers chose fingers. No, that wouldn't least that's not me.
Speaker 3: That is dang. I don't think Lee's fingers moved that quick.
Speaker 3: Pounds it man? Oh give it out names you just
Speaker 3: say you that one? Did he dump that? He dumped it?
Speaker 3: Chris dumped it? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's dumping you mean Ronda, please dump that gentlemen.
Speaker 6: H Well, at least we know who's in charge now,
Speaker 6: Can I tell you that he dumped you?
Speaker 3: He dumped you for saying that.
Speaker 2: Can I tell you this runaway favorite to what MVP
Speaker 2: on the show this far Brady Quinn after this segment,
Speaker 2: everybody got it?
Speaker 3: Here then a mission averaging around sixty to sixty three.
Speaker 5: Thousand Admission is free for the Blue White Game. Fans
Speaker 5: will enter through gates A, B, and C, N E,
Speaker 5: which will open that noon parking.
Speaker 4: You don't think they're still counting just from for like
Speaker 4: security measures.
Speaker 5: Uh, like I said there there there aren't counters for
Speaker 5: you know, for that, I don't see there being counters
Speaker 5: even dor but because you have to scan, like if
Speaker 5: you scan that it's a counter, like yeah, but if
Speaker 5: if you don't have a ticket, I don't know how
Speaker 5: they're they're counting, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean again, I don't know. I mean, I know
Speaker 3: I'm to getting the weeds here.
Speaker 4: There is AI surveillance where like when people walk through,
Speaker 4: it'll be able to count people as it's surveillant, like
Speaker 4: through camera footage. There's different software systems now and a
Speaker 4: lot of these stadiums for these big events, they have
Speaker 4: to I mean it's mandated to some degree just because
Speaker 4: God forbids something happen. Oftentimes they're they're trying their best
Speaker 4: to do to go to account for how many people
Speaker 4: are there, and God forbid anything happen. Like who's where
Speaker 4: they do. It's one of the reasons why, like they
Speaker 4: might have some way of tracking.
Speaker 5: That they do charge for parking. They do charge twenty
Speaker 5: dollars and regular vehicle per RV sixty or sixty sixty
Speaker 5: per bus. Cash or card sales will be accepted at parking.
Speaker 5: Now it feels like a hell of a place to
Speaker 5: have a stick City tailgate. I know that you know
Speaker 5: that's not a big enough game. I don't do it
Speaker 5: for that game.
Speaker 3: Let's go live Tour.
Speaker 2: I have a thought on Spring game attendance insider Christopher
Speaker 2: for the latest career.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so I've never done something as big as this,
Speaker 10: but I do know working like growing up, I worked
Speaker 10: at the Toledo Zoo and I worked a game for
Speaker 10: ut Rockets for I want to say, well, yeah, basketball,
Speaker 10: excuse me, you do have a hand counter there, like
Speaker 10: you know, even if you're not even way before AI,
Speaker 10: like you'd have a clicker, you'd like take it down
Speaker 10: for every person coming through that gate, and everyone puts
Speaker 10: those together.
Speaker 3: At the end of the night, when I.
Speaker 2: Go to church, a guy has a clicker, you know,
Speaker 2: he wants to know how many people are at church,
Speaker 2: you know, for some strange reason.
Speaker 3: But you know, there's a listen. I think.
Speaker 2: I think it's a sad day. It's unfortunate Spring games
Speaker 2: are going by the wayside. I just hope that, you know,
Speaker 2: more schools don't get accused of lying about their attendance members,
Speaker 2: because that's really what concerns me with all this.
Speaker 3: But again, to each their own
