Speaker 3: Black track, a black and hey it is what it

Speaker 2: grab ass here for the next three hours, filling in
Speaker 2: for Dan and.
Speaker 3: The guys, and we hope you player loan. Yeah, why
Speaker 3: not you grab some masks too.
Speaker 2: Okay, It's like that David Copperfield bit where he just
Speaker 2: we touched the screen, you remember, and like the magic
Speaker 2: trip happens back in the day.
Speaker 4: What a scam that was.
Speaker 2: I don't want to make reckless allegations here to start
Speaker 2: the show, but it just it just seemed a little
Speaker 2: far fetch that you could touch a screen and he
Speaker 2: knew exactly what you were going.
Speaker 4: To touch the TV. It's weird. That was pretty cool though.
Speaker 3: It's great, you know, even when he was in that
Speaker 3: like you know, that coffin and it was full of
Speaker 3: water or whatever and he was up in there.
Speaker 4: Like how did he get out of there? I don't know.
Speaker 4: I still don't know. I should know.
Speaker 2: I'm Dracula, I shouldn't know. You should brow. That being said,
Speaker 2: the NFL off season is off and running, okay, And
Speaker 2: the NFL off season is filled with rumors, It's filled
Speaker 2: with reports. It's my favorite time of the year because
Speaker 2: after the dust settles and the draft is finished and
Speaker 2: free agency is over and we're getting ready for training camp.
Speaker 2: I love to go back and look at see it,
Speaker 2: all the garbage everybody took in. We're all the deloreon
Speaker 2: on back to the future. They feed us garbage and
Speaker 2: we just go like you just shove whatever crap you
Speaker 2: can inside the gas gauge and we are off and running.
Speaker 2: And we are off and running. With another wild bit
Speaker 2: of speculation when it comes to the NFL. Max Crosby,
Speaker 2: superstar for the Las Vegas Raiders. He was talking on
Speaker 2: his podcast, The Rush Podcast with Caleb Williams, and they
Speaker 2: were just you know, giving each other love for about
Speaker 2: an hour, like to you know, waxing poetically about their
Speaker 2: matchup and how how great it was and now the
Speaker 2: potential and all these things that came along with it.
Speaker 2: And Max Crosby had this to say to Caleb Williams
Speaker 2: at the conclusion of the podcast, Let's take a listen.
Speaker 5: Just to be open and honest, bro, Like we talked
Speaker 5: about it earlier, but respect at at a different level. Bro,
Speaker 5: You're one of those guys for sure, and you're just
Speaker 5: getting started.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: I don't even know you understand yet how good you
Speaker 5: can be. And that's the scariest part, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean. Just keep that mindset, keep doing what you're doing.
Speaker 5: You know we're locked in, you know, forever, So keep
Speaker 5: doing anything bro me me at any time.
Speaker 4: It goes vice versa.
Speaker 2: Now, that just sounded to me like a couple of
Speaker 2: NFL players with mutual respect who are on a podcast
Speaker 2: just saying nice things about each other.
Speaker 4: They didn't have to go that deep with it, though.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I thought that was pretty cool that he
Speaker 3: gave Caleb his propers like that on the podcast. I mean,
Speaker 3: sometimes guys are very absorbed, little arrogant, nah, yeah, a
Speaker 3: little out of touch with reality and how they see things.
Speaker 3: I thought that was really that was It sounded and
Speaker 3: seemed like a genuine moment. And I've only had those
Speaker 3: things to say about people that I've played against or
Speaker 3: I've watched play that I really like. I like their game,
Speaker 3: I like something about how they are as a person,
Speaker 3: whatever it may be. There had to be something connected
Speaker 3: to that person that made me feel such a way
Speaker 3: to be compelled to feel those types of things that
Speaker 3: Crosby said. And for what it's worth, he wasn't lying, Like,
Speaker 3: Kaylab Williams probably doesn't even know how good he can be,
Speaker 3: and he is just getting started and he can be
Speaker 3: a generational talent. And I want to play for the
Speaker 3: Bears with you. Man, come on, bring me on in,
Speaker 3: get me up and get me a Okay, let's let's
Speaker 3: let's let's let's cut through the Shenanigans. Let's cut through
Speaker 3: all of it, and and like, can you get me
Speaker 3: to Chicago, bro, Like, come on, man, wind you city,
Speaker 3: Max Crosby, Kayla.
Speaker 4: Williams, let's go. All right.
Speaker 2: So this is this is the problem I've got with
Speaker 2: all this because I get it, Max Crosby and Jay
Speaker 2: Glazer's reported on this. He's not thrilled with with what
Speaker 2: has happened in Vegas. And let's be exactly why would
Speaker 2: he be. I mean, it's been it's been a little
Speaker 2: bit of a circus tent there and not the good kind,
Speaker 2: and there's been all sorts of stuff that's gone on.
Speaker 2: Whatever plan they've had, it hasn't worked. It's just been
Speaker 2: a little bit of a disaster. And so he's frustrated.
Speaker 2: He wanted to continue to play. They shut him down.
Speaker 2: He felt like they were tanking. You know, they're trying
Speaker 2: to get the number one pick. All of that is fair.
Speaker 2: But the problem I have with people assuming that, hey,
Speaker 2: he's being really nice to a guy on his podcast,
Speaker 2: so that must mean that that guy's going to end
Speaker 2: up with the Bears is the fact that the Raiders
Speaker 2: hold his rights. And Adam Schefter reported that the Raiders
Speaker 2: are gonna be asking for something similar to Micah Parsons,
Speaker 2: you know, two number ones and a position player, a
Speaker 2: marquee player to go along with it for any trade
Speaker 2: with Max Crosby, and they don't want.
Speaker 4: To trade him.
Speaker 2: So just because Caleb Williams is on a team that
Speaker 2: could use some pass rush help, because that was one
Speaker 2: of the Bears issues is they couldn't get to the quarterback.
Speaker 2: So just because he's on a podcast and the guy's
Speaker 2: being nice to him, doesn't all of a sudden mean
Speaker 2: the Raiders are going to be like, hey, you know what,
Speaker 2: upon further review, he was so nice to you, and
Speaker 2: you guys get along so great, and he doesn't have
Speaker 2: a problem with the fact that you paint your nails.
Speaker 2: So what we're gonna do is we're gonna take less
Speaker 2: of a deal and we're gonna trade you to Chicago
Speaker 2: to make you happy. The Raiders are gonna be like, no, man,
Speaker 2: kiss my ass. You're gonna go to where we're gonna
Speaker 2: get the most value for you. And if that means
Speaker 2: we're gonna send you to Carolina or two or Chicago,
Speaker 2: that mass stanbul, who cares, who cares, Whatever value you
Speaker 2: can get in return, that's going to be the highest value.
Speaker 2: That's where they're gonna trade him. It has nothing to
Speaker 2: do with Kleb Williams going on a podcast and those
Speaker 2: guys getting along.
Speaker 4: That's the part I don't get.
Speaker 3: Well, here's the part you have to understand about what
Speaker 3: they did. It's a strategic play because we all know
Speaker 3: that public opinion drives behind the scenes decisions too. And
Speaker 3: if this were just like we talked about in a
Speaker 3: prior show about putting it out there first before the
Speaker 3: other side puts it out there, right, we were talking
Speaker 3: about c J. Stroud his representation and the Houston Texans.
Speaker 3: They're putting it out there like the Houston Texans put
Speaker 3: it out there, we may be open mix Shay put
Speaker 3: it out there that they could be open to trade
Speaker 3: discussions about CJ.
Speaker 4: Stroud. CJ.
Speaker 3: Stroud is in the fourth year of his contract. This
Speaker 3: is that where you actually are looking to extend and
Speaker 3: do that blockbuster deal that these guys are getting these days.
Speaker 3: That's the same situation here Jonas Max Crosby going on
Speaker 3: a show, and not only on a show, but a
Speaker 3: specific show, not only a specific show, but specific to
Speaker 3: a possible purpose of what he wants to ultimately get done.
Speaker 3: Getting out of Vegas is probably number one. That's probably
Speaker 3: number one on the list.
Speaker 4: Bout it. Why would you want to do that? Right?
Speaker 3: But then you see this up and coming team. Ben
Speaker 3: Johnson comes in, he lights it up his rookie years
Speaker 3: as a coach. You have this quarterback that can be
Speaker 3: the quarterback of the future and Caleb Williams.
Speaker 4: So you not only go on a show to.
Speaker 3: Talk about the possibilities of what your future holds and
Speaker 3: this and that, but you do it with Caleb Williams,
Speaker 3: who is the quarterback for the He's already the best
Speaker 3: quarterback ever for the Chicago Bears already right now. Sorry McMahon, sorry,
Speaker 3: Sorry Grossman and Cutlers, Peter tom Willis, sorry, sorry, Fellas,
Speaker 3: Jim Harbaugh, Sorry.
Speaker 4: Sorry? Who's the other dude that looked like Tony Romo.
Speaker 3: What's his name? He used to play. He's not too
Speaker 3: long ago. He was up in there. He was a
Speaker 3: draft pick. He's a high guy.
Speaker 4: What's his name called Mitribisky?
Speaker 3: Doesn't he look like Tony Romo a little bit? If
Speaker 3: you think about it. They look like he's not bad,
Speaker 3: like like step brothers. Yeah, like they got the same mom.
Speaker 3: Maybe not the same day or same day.
Speaker 2: You were telling me that Tribisky would be a better broadcaster,
Speaker 2: though he would.
Speaker 4: I think you said that before the.
Speaker 6: Show, Jonas, I don't know, Uh, look at it's gonna
Speaker 6: be a quick slam, and they take me what happened
Speaker 6: and they taken me.
Speaker 3: He used to call him right anyway, It creates a conversation,
Speaker 3: and in today's culture, today's generation, you can be shaking
Speaker 3: ice out of a kid's T shirt and making sure
Speaker 3: his legs aren't crazy wet and brush him off and
Speaker 3: have a good time with it, and everybody's going to
Speaker 3: talk about it. The littlest things. Everybody talks about. Jan
Speaker 3: that's what they said. They said because it was so
Speaker 3: much rain or something like that, and then the ice
Speaker 3: and stuff that was getting poured during the celebration. The
Speaker 3: kid got like, got doused or got hit whatever. Anyway,
Speaker 3: whatever your story is, your story is. But the point
Speaker 3: I'm saying is is you put it out there, it
Speaker 3: gets If it's something real, it gets consumed. If it
Speaker 3: gets consumed, it gets distributed, it gets pushed around. Then
Speaker 3: now all of a sudden, something that you thought was
Speaker 3: a nothing becomes a something. This big conversation ensues, and
Speaker 3: now the beer say, huh, we may have.
Speaker 4: A possibility here.
Speaker 3: It sounds like he really has a good, fine relationship
Speaker 3: with Caleb.
Speaker 4: If Caleb is good with it, let's try to make
Speaker 4: it work.
Speaker 3: Oh, on the raider side of it, you just fired
Speaker 3: another coach, y'all suck. You're very, very very well represented
Speaker 3: supported team. Your fan base has been crazy loyal to you.
Speaker 3: In spite of you're searching for that next that next
Speaker 3: New England Patriots scenario to play out. Maybe it's time
Speaker 3: to start anew Maybe this helps you make the decision
Speaker 3: of we need to move on from Max. Yes, let's
Speaker 3: try to leverage it as much as we can to
Speaker 3: get out of it, but in the end, let's unload
Speaker 3: him and let's continue to build for what the future
Speaker 3: could possibly be. And that would be the reasons why
Speaker 3: you could see the Raiders, the Las Vegas Raiders potentially
Speaker 3: dealing him, and if you have a suitor that's already out.
Speaker 4: There, then that makes it that much easier.
Speaker 3: Right, So I think that that's the reason why you
Speaker 3: do something like this. No, they don't just do it
Speaker 3: just to do it, But I think in a situation
Speaker 3: like this, him outwardly praising Caleb the way that he did,
Speaker 3: I don't think it was disingenuous. I think it was
Speaker 3: was very genuine and I think it was very intentional.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't think it was disingenuous either.
Speaker 2: I think there was a lot of If you go
Speaker 2: back to the game they played against each other, you know,
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams I think was quoted as saying afterwards, you know,
Speaker 2: best performance by a defensive player that he's that he's
Speaker 2: been against in his life. And Max Crossby was unbelievable
Speaker 2: in that game. And that was another game that the
Speaker 2: Raiders look at and go, how do we lose that one?
Speaker 2: And the Bears look at and go, how do we
Speaker 2: win that one? Well, the Raiders, you lost that one
Speaker 2: because that's what you do.
Speaker 4: You're the matter. Yeah, like the Browns. There's a couple
Speaker 4: of teams out there. You'd be like, how they lose?
Speaker 4: What that did you? Did you not I got to
Speaker 4: take you? Did you not hear what team they are?
Speaker 2: You know what's the most popular slot machine in Las
Speaker 2: Vegas according to all of the casino owners and the
Speaker 2: people that run those places. The Raiders, because people just
Speaker 2: keep putting money in them, stupid and they get nothing
Speaker 2: to return, so stupid they go play the Raider slot.
Speaker 4: Everybody spin the wheel? Hey, another l came up? What
Speaker 4: do you know?
Speaker 7: But because you always think that next one's got to
Speaker 7: be the jackpote When when you've lost that long for
Speaker 7: that much, you always think that the next one is
Speaker 7: going to be that that jackpot the biggest.
Speaker 4: Hey, yeah, of course they got the car on top
Speaker 4: paper to this and.
Speaker 3: That they got a picture to a house out the
Speaker 3: rip zillow.
Speaker 7: But uh, you got you could get a five million
Speaker 7: dollars dollars good like a lear Jet if the Raiders
Speaker 7: win the.
Speaker 2: Seven games like Joge Travolta the Grid so like, but
Speaker 2: the on Max Crosby want spin the wheel. You know
Speaker 2: it's Dandon no more money. It's Daniel Carlson getting a
Speaker 2: kick blocked. Oh dam But so like Max Crosby. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the game was unbelievable. They had a lot of respect
Speaker 2: for each other. All of that is fair, but the
Speaker 2: Raiders hold his rights. And last I checked, Max Crosby
Speaker 2: doesn't have a no trade clause.
Speaker 4: So whatever podcast.
Speaker 2: He wants to go on and whoeveryone, I'm sure he's
Speaker 2: got nice things to say about Patrick Mahomes. I'm sure
Speaker 2: he's got nice things to say about a lot of
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the NFL, Josh Allen, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2: Whoever gives them the best deal, because again reportedly they
Speaker 2: don't want to trade him. Whoever's going to give them
Speaker 2: the best deal is going to be where they send
Speaker 2: Max Crosby. And it doesn't matter what he wants or
Speaker 2: how nice he's being, it doesn't matter. It's curling, you know,
Speaker 2: it's a little weird, like you're watching on TV. You're
Speaker 2: just wondering, you know, what those cleaning laders are doing.
Speaker 2: But it just it doesn't matter what he wants what
Speaker 2: the Raiders can get in return. So this is all,
Speaker 2: this is all fun, This is all a great story,
Speaker 2: but I just find it hard to believe that we
Speaker 2: can put two and two together and think that these
Speaker 2: guys are working behind the seeds to make a trade happen.
Speaker 2: If somebody comes away and blows the Raiders away with
Speaker 2: an offer, they're not going to give a crap that
Speaker 2: he likes Caleb Williams and had them on a podcast.
Speaker 2: They're going to try and get the most fun legit
Speaker 2: as they should.
Speaker 3: That's legit. I mean, there's no disputing that. I definitely
Speaker 3: find that to be a legit, you know, conclusion to draw.
Speaker 3: But I also think that there's the idea of doing
Speaker 3: right by players that have done right by you. He
Speaker 3: has done right by this this Raiders team. He's given
Speaker 3: it his all. He has been one of the most impactful,
Speaker 3: influential players in our league in the history of the
Speaker 3: game in fact, and for him to be in the
Speaker 3: situation and I can sympathize with him, believe you me.
Speaker 3: I mean, it is nothing like what you mean, wasting
Speaker 3: good years of your hard work and belief.
Speaker 4: He's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: You believe in a team, you believe in the community,
Speaker 3: you believe in everything that's going on, and they just
Speaker 3: keep giving you bags of s and then before you
Speaker 3: know it, now you're out a point in your career
Speaker 3: where which he's really on the way to. I mean,
Speaker 3: he's not a spring chicken anymore. You're on your way
Speaker 3: to your better days slowly getting behind you.
Speaker 4: And then now where are you at?
Speaker 3: Now You've given all your great years to this organization
Speaker 3: that just can't get right, and now you're too old
Speaker 3: to even put yourself in the type of position where
Speaker 3: you can have impactful conversations about going somewhere and actually
Speaker 3: being a real positive contributor to possibly winning that Super Bowl. Like,
Speaker 3: that's what we all want, is to have the chance
Speaker 3: to win a Super Bowl. Play your your guts out,
Speaker 3: try to be an all pro, make pro bowls, Earn
Speaker 3: the respect of your peers, like what the love he
Speaker 3: gave to Caleb Williams. Get paid along the way, Maybe
Speaker 3: meet somebody who's really nice, get married, maybe you're already married.
Speaker 3: Treat them right, whatever it is, and get some Super
Speaker 3: Bowl rings and potentially, hopefully one day get called to Canton.
Speaker 3: That's everybody's dream, man.
Speaker 2: Or if you run the MLBPA, hire her sister, I mean,
Speaker 2: and get it done that way, you know, dig bat
Speaker 2: her up. I don't see nothing wrong with a little
Speaker 2: bumping grind.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, I mean so R Kelly is still in jail.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's getting out either, but it
Speaker 3: seems like, I mean, parts of that group are still out.
Speaker 3: They could sing that song.
Speaker 4: I think. I do think that was a public announcement
Speaker 4: with R Kelly.
Speaker 2: That's probably the best best place for him at this point.
Speaker 2: It's by the way, if you're watching, we appreciate uh,
Speaker 2: appreciate you giving us a look on YouTube.
Speaker 4: Yeah, check us out.
Speaker 2: We're live. We're live on YouTube. Yeah. Max Crosby is
Speaker 2: one of my favorite players in the NFL.
Speaker 4: To why why up top? Well, like shit, probably top?
Speaker 4: You tell us?
Speaker 3: Why tell us why? You can probably claim that one.
Speaker 3: Where's it starting? I mean, you're probably right for being honest.
Speaker 3: You're probably right. I think he had me. Hey, you
Speaker 3: know what, I'm his I'm his brother. As it gets.
Speaker 3: I think when I met him at the super Bowl,
Speaker 3: I thought he had I think he had me. I'll
Speaker 3: tell you what what Miles Garrett from Max Crossby that
Speaker 3: deal you saw it right there and you heard it.
Speaker 3: I love me some Miles Garrett though, But I mean
Speaker 3: he don't even claim y'all.
Speaker 4: He claims agent. He's in the A he's in the Orient. Hey.
Speaker 2: By the way, if anybody's wondering, yes, we'll go there. Yes,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, edity moment, it could go off the rails
Speaker 2: like that. So best of luck to Max.
Speaker 3: We were talking about black and white players, by the way,
Speaker 3: and Max Crosby he belongs to us black and Miles
Speaker 3: Garrett belongs to drag. That's that's what That's what just
Speaker 3: happened here, Just in case y'all we're not interpreting what
Speaker 3: we just did.
Speaker 2: And for those of you wondering, a most famous transaction
Speaker 2: we've made on the show when Brady Quinn was here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we traded Babe Ruth for Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 4: We gave up Patrick Mahons. So I feel like that,
Speaker 4: you know, we got the babe though. That's a great trade.
Speaker 4: That's a win win for everything. Yeah, that's a win
Speaker 4: for everyone.

Speaker 3: DOWSSR versus the Soviet, that'd be something else. Canada, Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: us first Canada. Uh now, Sydney Crosby did leave the game.

Speaker 4: Got to try to get it.
Speaker 2: Look, I can remember watching the US first Canada game
Speaker 2: back in I think it was twenty ten, and it
Speaker 2: was the game where Sidney Crosby scored the game winner,
Speaker 2: and it was bananas, just how fired up everybody got.
Speaker 2: Because look, you could all have rooting interest for whatever
Speaker 2: team you want and kind of veer off into whatever directions.
Speaker 2: When everybody's on the same page rooting for the US
Speaker 2: and a standalone, big event like that, that's just fun
Speaker 2: for everybody. And plus it gives us something to do,
Speaker 2: you know, on the weekend, we're looking for things to
Speaker 2: watch and discuss. I know you're a big fan of curling,
Speaker 2: just sort of the athleticism it takes. Oh, I'm hockey,
Speaker 2: you know, I am a curling fan. I mean the
Speaker 2: amount of focus, the amount of communication, the amount of
Speaker 2: wiping of the spit surface, the precision that's necessary and
Speaker 2: need it. I'm all about curling, all right, I really am,
Speaker 2: especially women's curling for some strange reason, kind of like
Speaker 2: that a little bit more than than the guys. Uh
Speaker 2: And and I'm I'm a fan of hockey, I really am. Obviously,
Speaker 2: being from Pittsburgh, you have no choice but to have
Speaker 2: two very very strong passions, and one being hockey outside
Speaker 2: of football. So to hear that the US is doing
Speaker 2: well is awesome. We know how great hockey is in Canada,
Speaker 2: so to have that as a gold medal round.
Speaker 3: Matchup would be pretty pretty phenomenal. But I would I
Speaker 3: would assume it be must see television if it happened.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that.
Speaker 2: The one problem that that we have with the stuff
Speaker 2: because I'm trying to figure out if this is good.
Speaker 2: So it's it's eight am Eastern time on Sunday, right, Okay,
Speaker 2: not great?
Speaker 4: Really early? Yeah, it's early. That's five am out here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know our friends in Hawaii, that's like
Speaker 2: two or three in the morning, you know, so like
Speaker 2: they they've got to walk off, you know, out of
Speaker 2: a tiki bar and try and watch the Yorks.
Speaker 4: Stay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just gotta stay, go ahead and do it.
Speaker 2: So that's that's less than ideal. But it would you know,
Speaker 2: would lead to that.
Speaker 4: Do they have ice rinks? Do they have ice rinks?
Speaker 4: I don't know. Is that something that they be into.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. You know, I know our friends listening
Speaker 2: on uh you know, in the Tiki Torch of the
Speaker 2: Hawaiian Islands, Fox Sports nine nine out there. Uh, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe somebody listening has the answer to that, but I'm
Speaker 2: not quite sure.
Speaker 4: I just I think that.
Speaker 2: With the Winter Olympics, it's fun. It's a it's a
Speaker 2: it's a fun ride to watch these random events at
Speaker 2: random times during the day. But it's kind of like
Speaker 2: Bowl season to where it's really cool to watch the
Speaker 2: ninety nine cent store on a Tuesday at nine cent
Speaker 2: store Bowl on a Tuesday at noon, randomly during the
Speaker 2: holiday season. And then at a certain point you just
Speaker 2: get to where you're like, all right, can we get
Speaker 2: the get to the to the big events? Like this
Speaker 2: is all awesome, and it's great to have these Mattinee
Speaker 2: football games and it's great to have these, but let's
Speaker 2: get to the let's get to the real deal. Here,
Speaker 2: and I feel like the real deal is hockey to
Speaker 2: where it's sort of separating itself to where it's got
Speaker 2: recognizable names that you can look at and go, all right,
Speaker 2: that's somebody we're gonna watch potentially in the regular season
Speaker 2: after this is all said and done.
Speaker 4: And so if we could land.
Speaker 2: Ourselves on US Canada in the gold medal game, apologies
Speaker 2: to Slovakia and anybody else that could get in the way,
Speaker 2: if we could just land that on Sunday and give
Speaker 2: people something to wake up to to get fired up for,
Speaker 2: I think that's the best conclusion for all this stuff here.
Speaker 4: You know, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't have a I don't have a
Speaker 3: valid argument or you know, kind of come back to
Speaker 3: say why it wouldn't be you know, I think the US,
Speaker 3: obviously our voting interest, is wanting to have the US
Speaker 3: in it. Would you say, I mean, without having the
Speaker 3: numbers in front of me, you would say that the
Speaker 3: most players in the NHL are from Canada and the
Speaker 3: United States.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about that. As far as far
Speaker 2: as the splits go, I'm not sure, but that is
Speaker 2: kind of a kind of an interesting dynamic. And I
Speaker 2: know you played in a couple of different Pro Bowls.
Speaker 2: You played in three Pro Bowls, like the idea of
Speaker 2: going from because there's been a lot of conversation about
Speaker 2: the NBA All Star Game and whatever you called those
Speaker 2: team names they rolled out with. As we talked about
Speaker 2: on our show, the Pro Bowl is the worst. It's
Speaker 2: absolutely awful. We were there in San Francisco during Super
Speaker 2: Bowl week watching it on television. It looked like they
Speaker 2: dropped really good football players in a claw machine and
Speaker 2: people were just trying.
Speaker 4: To move them around.
Speaker 2: It was weird, like you just like everyone's moving it
Speaker 2: around with the joystick and it didn't make any sense
Speaker 2: and it didn't.
Speaker 4: Look like football. But that's what the Pro Bowl was.
Speaker 2: But I do I wonder what the dynamic is like
Speaker 2: because in the Pro Bowl when you were playing, that
Speaker 2: was the last game of the season.
Speaker 3: Correct, like that was after the Super Bowl? Yes, right,
Speaker 3: so immediately after, And yes I was correct. The Canada
Speaker 3: actually holds the largest number percentage wise, of players in
Speaker 3: the NHL and the United States at forty forty two
Speaker 3: percent of the league, and then the United States follows
Speaker 3: with a roughly twenty eight to twenty nine percent.
Speaker 4: There we go Swede being in third.
Speaker 2: Now, the one problem for Canada is they can't get
Speaker 2: a Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup.
Speaker 4: They came close, but you know, they came very close.
Speaker 4: They did. They came close, just not close enough.
Speaker 2: But so when you were playing in the Pro Bowl,
Speaker 2: that was the last game of the year, right, So
Speaker 2: after that game, it's not like you had to team
Speaker 2: up with these guys again. That's it with the Olympics.
Speaker 2: You've got to continue the last part of the regular season.
Speaker 2: And so how do you just flip the switch from hey,
Speaker 2: these are rivals now they're teammates, to now their rivals
Speaker 2: again and you go back to your teammates.
Speaker 3: Like, well, those are extraordinary circumstances, right, Like, if you
Speaker 3: think about it, I think that it would be a
Speaker 3: welcomed vacation away from the regular season grind, because it
Speaker 3: is a grind.
Speaker 4: Especially that Olympic village. From what we've heard me in autumn,
Speaker 4: rubbers been used. Ten thousand rubbers got sent.
Speaker 3: Over there prophylactics for safe sex gond it here and
Speaker 3: they're promising to have delivered more, which means that it's
Speaker 3: just all kinds that I don't see nothing wrong.
Speaker 4: I mean, I bump those numbers out.
Speaker 6: Those are rookie numbers, like a little bumping round.
Speaker 2: You know how many sea animals are walking around with
Speaker 2: one of those things on their head now because somebody
Speaker 2: threw it in the lake.
Speaker 4: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: People are worried about plastic straws and turtles the fact
Speaker 2: that that thing's just swimming around with a rubber on
Speaker 2: his face.
Speaker 3: Hey, mommy, look at the duck. Look at look at
Speaker 3: the dock, Look at the Look at the seagull.
Speaker 4: Mommy, look at what?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 4: What is? Look away, honey, mommy, look away, mommy? Why
Speaker 4: is that seagull? Looks like he's about to rob a bank?
Speaker 4: But is that? What is that pelican giving birth to?
Speaker 4: What is that?
Speaker 2: But yeah, I can imagine, you know, the break in
Speaker 2: the middle of the season is fun.
Speaker 4: But these are like, these are hard games.
Speaker 2: So and I can I can also understand why some
Speaker 2: owners would not maybe want the players to participate in
Speaker 2: this in the middle of the season. If I was
Speaker 2: owning an n H n H NHL franchise, I probably
Speaker 2: wouldn't want to send my players off to go chase
Speaker 2: their Olympic dreams.
Speaker 4: But now they they know that that's a part of it.
Speaker 3: But now the own have a firm grasp and hold
Speaker 3: of understanding that this is a part of it.
Speaker 2: Okay, if Sidney Crosby is affected, well, well, so he
Speaker 2: had a lower body injury. He left the game yesterday.
Speaker 2: You know they're trying, but it's hockey. Lower body injury.
Speaker 3: Could be you know, the guy got you know, severed
Speaker 3: at the hip, you know by you know By, Yeah,
Speaker 3: like he fell on you know, on a tractor and
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, it's a lower body injury. He should
Speaker 3: be available next game, but if he's impacted the rest
Speaker 3: of the season.
Speaker 2: The Penguins are much better than anybody thought they would
Speaker 2: be this year. They thought it was, you know, rebuild,
Speaker 2: we got to close it up. Crosby, Malcolm, le Tang,
Speaker 2: all these guys got great names, and then now all
Speaker 2: of a sudden they're in the middle.
Speaker 3: You put Malcolm and and Crosby on Lemieux and and
Speaker 3: and Yager, do you put them on that level?
Speaker 4: They're pretty high. Yeah, not as many Stanley cups now
Speaker 4: they do, because Crosby and Malcoln have three three and
Speaker 4: uh yamarn and and two. I thought they had three.
Speaker 3: Now they had ninety one and ninety two. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: Lemieux had way more than two though he had finished
Speaker 3: the two only two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, listen, he got the more than he had,
Speaker 2: he got sick and he left, and a lot of
Speaker 2: people think, you know, if that didn't impede him, he
Speaker 2: would have been the greatest. There's still some people think
Speaker 2: Lemon is the greatest player of all time, like still
Speaker 2: some who who is the greatest is the Gretzky Gretzky Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean he had every number, but.
Speaker 3: You know until awesome, awesome, and that was back in
Speaker 3: the day. Is Sid the Kid and an Ov Are
Speaker 3: they a better duo and tandem for this era of
Speaker 3: hockey than Lemieux and Gretzky.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't think you could say no, even if you
Speaker 3: can't fix your face to say yes.
Speaker 2: But but it is it is. You mentioned the uh,
Speaker 2: the two stars for the Penguins. It is kind of
Speaker 2: wild that they had it then and they've got it now.
Speaker 3: But that's what we are as Pittsburgh. We have this
Speaker 3: weird ability to recreate. It's kind of like Green Bay
Speaker 3: with quarterbacks.
Speaker 4: It's like Green Bay with quarterback.
Speaker 2: Like he's just like they just do it better. It's
Speaker 2: like the Bears with linebackers, they just do.
Speaker 3: Steelers with linebackers. Come come in. I mean y'all had
Speaker 3: Buckets and Erlacker. Who else? I mean, I know Briggs
Speaker 3: and all of them, But I'm saying Mike Singletary, Mike
Speaker 3: and Mike Yeah, hell yeah, otis Wilson, otis Will that's
Speaker 3: safety Wilver Marshall linebacker.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's nice. But come on, man, like the Steel
Speaker 4: curtain yeah.
Speaker 2: Jack Slambert, let me rephrase middle linebackers. Uh, the Bears
Speaker 2: have got that unlocked. But linebacker tandems is. Steelers with
Speaker 2: Lloyd and Green, Yeah, they've got that.
Speaker 3: Come on, Guilden and Joey Porter, Joey Porter and James Harrison.
Speaker 2: Honest mistake. You mentioned Lance Briggs. He doesn't get enough credit.
Speaker 2: He does not give enough credit. In fact, I think
Speaker 2: he had. I think he had a Hall of Fame career.
Speaker 2: He's should get.
Speaker 4: Into him and Peanut Tillman.
Speaker 3: You can argue hall of Fame career, sure, but but digressing,
Speaker 3: I think it is a welcomed getaway from the the
Speaker 3: monotony of being in a season that has so many games.
Speaker 3: You get an opportunity to represent your homeland. You get
Speaker 3: the opportunity to be in Olympic village as a professional,
Speaker 3: even though you're doing in some cases what would be
Speaker 3: considered to be amateurism in competition and being in the worlds,
Speaker 3: even though that's just something for us as the United States,
Speaker 3: well up until not too long ago.
Speaker 4: But I think that they enjoy it. I think it's
Speaker 4: a good getaway.
Speaker 3: Then you come back in and man like, you can
Speaker 3: share stories about what your experience. They're probably hanging out
Speaker 3: together out there stuff like that, like, so you know,
Speaker 3: that's uh.
Speaker 4: I think that it's it's okay.
Speaker 3: And I think that the owners don't have such a
Speaker 3: hard stance on wanting them to be a part of
Speaker 3: it because it's it's good for them too. Them having
Speaker 3: success there is good for business for them, you know,
Speaker 3: with their franchises back here.
Speaker 2: I would imagine you being a multiple time pro bowler
Speaker 2: going to Hawaii all those years that you know, some
Speaker 2: of those stories you don't share.
Speaker 3: Why not, just depending on who you share them with. Hey,
Speaker 3: some people get to hear it all. I mean, maybe
Speaker 3: not all of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they sure do.
Speaker 3: I don't know it is I wouldn't know, I just
Speaker 3: went to the Pro Bowl, sat out the pool, and
Speaker 3: then went and played in the game and came back
Speaker 3: home like that was as a blue Choo commercial.
Speaker 4: Pops up. Yeah, that is, That's perfect.
Speaker 2: It is to remind my sad Damn Patrick show here
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3: That was a time where I didn't need you joos.
Speaker 3: By the way, yeah, I need blue Jube back in

Speaker 8: had oversized boots went which went about about an inch
Speaker 8: or so over the projected what you're supposed to wear
Speaker 8: for skiing?
