Because I'm sexy Chris play I have an I.Q. Of 48 get your freak done with us tonight. From the guy go far sports radio studio Here's Arnie Spanier Crysler. And we are coming to you live from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios it's simple 15 minutes could save you 50 percent or more on car insurance visit guy could I Tom for a preview both part in a scene preview coming up in a couple of seconds away can't wait couple of quick tweets here before we get rolled in a lot wrote a troll or has been on fire tonight he tweets out of baseball players should all be clean shaven wear their stirrups high absolutely never wear jewelry during a game and they should ride trains went on the road sign Joe Simpson so I do have a problem with jewelry though I don't get the whole thing about Warren jury. You know whether it's a chain around you want to you just were all watched through and and stuff like that I don't is there be a little a cover the bottom of why you would do that ad to each their own on that enough football I've never really understood it because it's another way they could grab you and take you down or steal your chain like a keep to leave would Oh yeah because they didn't somebody have to change yet all in Europe or Crabtree Andre writes wait a 2nd guys I think trade Turner should only be in trouble for 2 of those tweets one is a line from the movie White Chicks Yes that is that's very true is that really true yeah one of and in fact I think a couple of them that gosh that the Braves pitcher Sean Newcomb threw out were rap lyrics to so and that was that was the same way with a couple of the ones that the Brewers hater at the end of the hater Yes don't you don't do that you don't does that make a difference in your opinion to be honest with you. No it doesn't but I mean at least in that instance if that's the case it would make a little bit more sense why you would just be throwing it out there would it make a difference if he was singing the song along with the song where you don't sing the words then you've got to you've got to be smarter than that man come on if you're trying to rap along with easy there are certain words and I'm just not going to say Well and because I mean that women's soccer team got in trouble for their video when they were singing along with a song like that right and yeah they ended up I think getting an what's the word cause you went from being in trouble to on in trouble not in trouble but yeah I think you're right is it different when it's music great debate great debate to be had with Arnie in his news talk show coming up. And then when we got the N.F.C. North to preview I mean we can't be having these really good paying jobs like this for it's bubble man we're supposed to be the toys story of the world or the toy store already screwed it up one more from Ernie he writes the days of the Diva wide receiver of the past are over so does Brian should accept any team that would take him and his extremely overrated career and. Now because they didn't really catch Well the the funny thing about dead as that people forget is we had him as one of the biggest potential difference makers after what a couple of incredible years you know he had that 3 year run in $121314.00 where he was a pro bowler in 2 of the 3 years made the playoffs I mean this dude was starting to become the standard for wide receivers but he got ganged up the following year and hasn't really been able to kind of recapture that magic so I'm not here to defend him by any stretch of the imagination but still this was a guy at one point in his career on who we thought was going to be the kind of difference maker that a Michael Irvin had been if you just want to maybe still could be the difference maker was just the wrong quarterback for him. Wow that back Prescott show across the bow by one Arnie Spanier who by the way he did put the Hall of Fame last. Just so you know so let's let's get after it shall we we previewed the N.F.C. East because that's where the Super Bowl champs came out of in week one already picked the Philadelphia Eagles to win the division though you do have the Giants right there close correct as the 2 team I do yeah the Giants close with a chance to upset the Eagles and maybe win that the vision to go from words the 1st arrests and then last week we went in depth and in fact spent our whole 1st segment talking about the New England Patriots which there is more news out of Pat's camp earlier this week boy has anyone ever apologized for something more than Julian Edelman has holy smokes do we get it you're sorry 18 apologies is enough he can use our ego how can he be sorry and see this never going to hope it doesn't happen in the future when we doesn't even know what happened in the past Listen dude I'm just telling you right now no one has apologized for something that they didn't know what had happened more than Julian ever has and I know that because you live in the area and then we could really find a way to elevate the bills are the or the doff instead to try to get up there even the Jets to battle the Patriots It was almost by default we go with the Patriots to get in the N.F.C. East right please you have to ask me again wasn't enough that we had to break it down for you know what whole segment last time you have to bring it back up again so let's go to the N.F.C. North the shall we were last year the Minnesota Vikings won the division for the 2nd time in 3 years which we forget and wasn't kind of a surprise this is a team that's really developed a good defense but only 0 whole new era with the vital Yeah 28 team the Kirk Cousins era do you see that as an upgrade for him based on key moment in the Bridgwater and kind of the injury situation they had with Bradford I mean they've invested a lot of money into this do you know perhaps it would be an update that or you know an upgrade but that doesn't mean they're going to end up having a better record Young is there what I'm saying there yeah I think it's kind of fellow Everything was a perfect storm Rogers went down it wasn't that hard of a division you had the fight out the Troy it's not going to be that. Easy for them this time around Chris Yeah and you can't even fathom I mean I was joking about real world things but here is a team that's really trying to put it softens of line back together and then on the go back a week ago in the whole organization is a reeling from the loss of Tony Soprano whom they bury they had his funeral on Friday and now you've got to find a way to really protect this investment in Kirk Cousins and you just lost your leader of that group I can't even fathom that by any stretch of the imagination how they can go out and practice after going through that and it it's crazy to think you have 2 receivers that we didn't really talk about too much and feel and digs right and digs had one of the highest passer rating for quarterbacks because they had about 3 different ones last year in Minnesota when they were throwing to them it says something about this team when I was researching them that every conversation about the Vikings army was about depth it wasn't about starting positions it wasn't about their one or 2 guys it was about their 3 or 4 guys it was about oh who's going to be the 3rd running back who's going to be their 3rd receiver who's going to be the back about side linebacker I mean so pretty solid roster that Mike Zimmer and and your boy Rick Spielman to put together yeah and look at as you mentioned solid Absolutely but the fence is what's going to carry this team I still have questions if they're going to be able to run the ball you know it's the black and blue division so it's going to be tough you know they have on the Raider wide receivers which goes to show you really don't have to have the big game wide receivers in order to be able to move the ball the guy as you mentioned the big question mark is Kirk Cousins in upgrade I said perhaps he is the upgrade doesn't mean it's going to be that easy for them this time around but they're my kids enough to rely on their defense if they're going to win the division again Chris only allowed $15.00 points per game last year to lead the N.F.L. 60 combined sacks between Hunter and Griffin is the most in the N.F.L. For a duo since 2015 but how about this stat for the Minnesota Vikings Yeah 20 playoff wins that's the most by any team in the N.F.L. Without a Super Bowl title they're the defending the vision champs they obviously had well can you repeat that. 20 wins in the playoffs it's the most by any team in the N.F.L. Without a Super Bowl win so Buffalo is going to be a close 2nd and right you would think yeah Buffalo has got to be really clear eyed or maybe that's not true I'd I mean what 36912 Buffalo got to be right up there and they're right up there with them and I'm sorry on the internet does not lie to me. Defending division champs will talk about where they place in 2018 after the break but I know let's shift our focus to the team that finished 2nd but still change the coach is the Matt Patricia era how different you think it is now with the 1st time head coach taken over you were around Patricia LA to cover the Patriots What do you think of him as head coach you know I've got question marks about him you know 1st me question about his professionalism and and the way you dress with the how it backwards in the T. Shirt and all that AND I CAN'T WE RE I just the talk about that we just did the same thing about the Dodgers but. I question how much he's going to really have that pellet check system down and that's them because Bella checked the cycles have not had a good track record in the N.F.L. Chris about it it's been downright miserable which goes to show me either these guys are not learning enough from bill or bills not doing a good enough job teaching them and I think it's the latter bill is not taking them under their wing and teaching them out their biggest question as far as the team is concerned might be whether or not they can run the football they brought in Le Gaire Blent has rightly forgot about that move during the off season and they drafted Kerry on Johnson who had a nice career with the offering tigers they get the O. Reddick back in a mirror 100 percent healthy but I don't know already I just feel like they've been running through running backs pardon the pun since Barry Sanders left Detroit and they haven't been able to get a consistent running game since but they do have a difference maker on defense in who had 12 sacks last year there I think they just locked him up long term and let me go back to Patricia one more time yeah I was read a lot about this but they're going at it in a different way he has these high into. City up tempo practice is right seems to be grinding on the geist quite a bit almost pellet check style right I feel like they've got to have some success early don't they so he doesn't risk losing this team he has to have success early but if you have the regular season other than the Jets they go to San Francisco then they'll have the Patriots and not Dallas so it's not like the easiest schedule I think the Patriot Game How great is that that I think that's like a Sunday night or a Monday I think of the sun they guy can deny game how great is that one going to be you know going up against Polacheck and it is old mentor by the way if you did you notice when he went in for the job interview he cut his hair and trimmed his beard and all that the give him the you know the professional luck absolutely might not be a tougher opening stretches only just brought up in the N.F.L. Than what the Lions have outside of the giants in that Monday night 1st game opener at San Fran home for New England at Dallas home from Green. Green Bay finished 3rd last year their 1st losing season in 3 years healthy Aaron Rodgers in I mean come on it's a constant conversation in Green Bay about developing a running game but do they really need balance when you had Chima granted that mix is another option for Aaron Rodgers a lot of Super Bowl buzz around the Green Bay Packers right now what do you think about the loss of Jordy I mean how much is that going to be a fact that that really did take its toll on Rogers mentally I believe at least when it happened what do you think yeah I agree with you but they do have a lot of toys for him to play with you know. Talk about the Toy Story with Aaron Jones time again regional Williams all have unique attributes out of the backfield Vonta Adam seems to be getting better and oh yeah we just mentioned it Jimmy Graham So I think it's going to hurt a little bit but it's just listen I think some teams need wide receivers to help quarterbacks I think certain quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady I think they can make great receivers out of just about anyone to make up your running game and not into William it all a matter of fact he what have like 5 or 600 yard they they've got to have somebody . Who's going to. Give you more than that little bit more production a lot more production than that and speaking of needing more production Greenbay definitely need something more out of their defense my pet and takes over 1st time we've heard from him since he struggled with the Browns might see a few more for man fronts which finally gets us to the Chicago Bears who it's been a while Arnie it's been a while since the Bears have been relevant new head coach him and I've been a male kid I like him a quarterback. Yes something else but I think there's really a good image for a business y'all we want some of the changes but man this seems real simple they don't even have their number one pick in camp yet because they're struggling over either offset language or whether or not you know they worry about suspensions if he lowers his cellmate but real Kwan Smith is not in camp in you know this is a defense that big fan Gio still around so they're running the 3 for the try to get their top pick in camp don't they I would think so love George Howard I thought there was a chance he was going to get traded all of my other dolphins Ah I would allow that to pull the you know the trigger on up the sides what are they going to do with the 2 back system is Colin going to be like the 2nd back again and kind of off said George Howard Jordan our get all the carries around the goal line other than that they don't have a lot of weapons from which to busy yeah they went out they brought in Taylor Gabriel from the Atlanta Falcons they have Allen Robertson Robinson who they signed from Jacksonville he's coming off a torn A.C.L. They drafted Aaron they drafted Anthony Miller and then you forget they drafted Kevin White in the 1st round like 3 years ago and he hasn't been healthy enough to play well so now it's finally a healthy offseason will see what difference the West Virginia product can make out of are you by Image true Biscay I guess that's the big question with the bell right do you believe that he are right there you go then chase scandal to the rescue but he's young dude says he did the Bears of Quinn's 4th place in the vision that made it easy enough that made it easy enough so we had the bears in 4th We'll talk one through 3. When we come back to the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios every week as we count down to the N.F.L.

To bite us one of your television go to FOX Sports dot com for details. To. Get any implying on a plot for Sunday night we are 3 divisions into our countdown is the opening weekend of the N.F.L. And next week when we talk about the A.F.C. North we'll actually have a game from a team of C. North to talk about how the way there is a breaking news breaking news what is it you know maybe more that the soccer guy yes he is admitted that sometimes he exaggerates after being found in rolls to the ground. Well this is a great game that frankly you know if I did know that we should have hit the sounder on that. That's quite a big story for those of us involved in the never would have guessed it never would I guess the I did laugh it made the rounds the U.S.L. Which is a professional soccer league they actually had 2 guys that were squared up and whenever they touched heads like they were right face to face they both fell backwards like they had just been shot and then as they're both laying there they kind of realized the official walks I was like dude calm on the fire now for talking too much soccer OK You opened this I don't know what that enough to jump through the hoop to just come on now. All right what do you mean when Geico says just 15 mobs I'm sorry but to buy Granger the products and services you need when you need them Grangers got your back to help you keep your facility running Granger for the ones who get it done now we talked a little bit about the N.F.C. North couple of good tweets on this Mike it's up and says Here is the only stat that matters if you're a Vikings fan or win 4 in the Super Bowl all one for their last 4 N.F.C. Championship games and all 4 were either complete blow outs or last 2nd Heartbreakers and don't forget about Blair believe being wall Wow words Fran Tarkenton when you need him wow flag that player Walsh miss was pretty heartbreaking and then the master writes The better the Bears schedule looks too difficult for their win total to go over 6 and a half completely agree on that yeah I well I do too but every See I listen to Jonas and he makes it sound like the bears are on some sort of resurgence season and on his album Chicago stop it thought listen to him Well think about this from a from a schedule perspective West let's just say OK maybe this is their bounce back season . Where's those wins going to come from in Tampa in week 4 maybe right they do go to Arizona in week 3 so maybe there's a Miami in week 6 so you start looking down their schedule New York in week 8 already there could be 4 wins right there but what that the backload on their schedule is ridiculous the final 6 weeks of the season they get Minnesota then they go to Detroit to New York and you think the Giants are going to be pretty good this year in their home for the Rams and the Packers be going to see and Fran and Milledge get a half up to see her and get at least smoked for get it far in burning I don't you know it's funny because during the break I'm such a fantasy football dork I was going down the Bears roster and was like oh my gosh I completely forgot they brought him beneath our and both Eric and Bubba. Who was right. And I was all excited by Trey burns in Chicago now where do you see what swag naggy does with him all right so with that said we've established Donnie we're not real high on the Bears you got him going for it but as we preview and wrap it up with the N.F.C. North who do you have taken the division in 2018 I'm not going to go in Minnesota I've got questions about the still worried about Cousins I love their defense I'll go with a little bit of a log so I think Aaron Rodgers bounces back Green Bay when the vigil go with Minnesota 2nd will still make the playoffs the Troy 3rd and the bears are guaranteed to finish the last place I think Detroit is going to be fascinating to follow this season to kind of see how things play out with Patricia's a 1st year head coach in Hatha division with a new coaches a new quarterback in Minnesota there's a lot of really cool story lines here but I'm with you on the I think Green Bay bounces back in a big way I mean this is always a fun division you know you usually end up with at least 2 maybe a 3rd team over $500.00 and they've had 2 teams over $500.00 the last couple of years so I don't I think it's going to be competitive and I don't and I know you're not real big on assistance but I think Mike Patton being there to run the defense is going to be a big difference for Green Bay So I'm with you on that we actually that's no fun well I prize it too but we're Green Bay I thought for sure you were going to go with Minnesota I go with the Chicago Bears just because Jonas told me Yeah but now that you laid out that he is a Bears Homer Maybe I need to kind of take everything laid out there with a grain of salt a couple of quick N.F.L. Notes that we need to get to before we get to the Savior and everything that is now final in the National Football League. Do we know why Sam Donaldson holding out or not because aren't we on about the 6 different story as to why he's holding out 1st it was offset language and then they were P.O.D. Because Baker Mayfield took the deal without really warning about offset language that made the that made see a his agency Madden someone had brought up that maybe he was up. Said about something involving fines I would not money is it I mean it's pretty much slot is not it right slot it I mean it we have to hold outs right now with 1st round picks and I've never been more confused as to why I mean every time it's laid out how simplistic it is. It becomes more confusing so instead of arguing about why Arnie How much does this hurt him big time little bit are you too concerned about it right now as far as his future you know I think it hurts him just a little bit he wants to be and he thought he was going to compete for a starting job maybe kind of shows to me that they didn't have any. You know any thought of starting him this year and kind of want him to learn the ropes otherwise they would get him in the camp right away am I wrong about that or why not I agree I agree that the bottom line here is they don't seem to be panicking too much and they've got like $86.00 quarterbacks in camp already you know you Guy Cowan you've got Teddy Bridgewater so there's probably not a rush to get him in but I think anytime you have a guy that you think's going to help you out holding out. A little mac you kind of panic a little bit as a fan but in a way it's a good line here is Teddy Bridgewater still a guy that other teams would want to be the starting quarterback is he still have that type of cache or is it too little too late for that I C I think he does and I Mike last week was question his arm strength and I can completely understand that I think he's always going to have a spot in the league you know as long as somebody would have a chance to prove himself a starter anymore because he's never going to be the full time starter anywhere that we thought with the Jets for was barring injury. You start looking around the league too and there's just not a lot of places to where you look in there in the last in Lester a biscuit bombs in Chicago and they've got to go out get someone I'm looking up at all OK how about this Tampa Bay maybe there's an opportunity somewhere like that Jamison Winston you know they came. Last week and said he's not guaranteed a starting job after 4 weeks you start you start looking up and down the league in especially considering how teams drafted this year army maybe since and I'm trying to think of places everyone seems to have their quarterback depth chart at least for the next couple of years set maybe and throw Miami in there as well too so it's tough to find a job right now if you're a guy like Teddy Bridgewater where you say Aren't I could go there and start right I mean it's just not there in the N.F.L. And then you wonder about his long term skill set right is about right to stay healthy right may never get the chance again unfortunately that's too bad and you know the from that massive injury never get it maybe never get the chance to prove himself again as a starter OK let me pose one more place to as we come to life in the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios What about Jacksonville I mean everyone's losing their mind and I understand why they've got a great defense arguably the best defense in the N.F.L. Last year I don't want to say without a doubt but one of the more entertaining defenses to watch in the A.F.C. What about a place like that I understand they're saying all the right things about Blake Bortles but they do want a lot of games based on their off instead they know but you're not going to go and make a move like that I mean now the play Bortles took them as far as they did he's earned what another couple more years or is it just one more year and then that if he doesn't do it again oh boy we're going to the replacement for him yeah Zaya think it's fair enough to say that maybe you start looking at potential landing spots there's just not one that sticks out for many N.F.L. Right now speak of that real quick before to say go roles in positive news coming out about Andrew Luck every saying everything seems to be responding well is this the season is this the comeback season if you will for one Andrew Luck or no it's not the comebacks even if he was doing so well if he was look good so hunky dory How could this is not tape all over the place about this guy right there isn't a check this look at this isn't about that and there's not that especially in the social media age here not by any of that stuff they were taught by ever see him I thought him saw those little wide receiver in the. Most of it is just the running backs that even go good go to the right about God not by this bony at all no pain luck said soreness tiredness for sure why we're just saying everything's OK right why would you now just for the 1st time throwing in quite a while I guess maybe more than all really I didn't know that he didn't tell us that I will say this much though they do kind of limit the amount of video that you can shoot but I'm not making excuses for Andrew Luck bottom line here if he's not ready to go maybe we found a place for Teddy Bridgewater when we come back to the Fox Sports Radio Studios it was a big day for a future Hall of Famer here on Fox Sports Radio We'll explain next But 1st Steve to Sacre rolling in with everything that we've missed so far in the world of sports what's going on speed everything final in the National League the Cubs had a rain delay at St Louis at the start tonight over an hour the game ended after $1115.00 Central Time Cubbies beat the rival cards $52.00 thanks to 3 under and runs in the 5th bends over a set for hits tonight including a homer winning pitcher Kyle Hendricks went 7 innings with 8 strikeouts the Cubs had the best record in the National League their game and a half over Milwaukee now Brewers lost today $85.00 at San Francisco Buster Posey with 4 hits Seattle scored 7 times in the top of the 1st and beat the Angels in Anaheim 8 to 5 All-Star closer Edwin Diaz with his 39th save Colorado as one for a row and 11 of its last 13 games Colorado 32 over Oakland today the Rockies are just a game behind the 1st place Dodgers in the N.L. West Arizona is only half game back Diamondbacks won 54 at San Diego Paul Goldschmidt a 2 run homer in the 1st goal Schmidt was batting 208 in early June he's now up to 280 and closing in on 25 Homer 60 R.B.I.'s and counting for Arizona the team with the worst record in the majors has now won 3 games in a row Baltimore 115 over Tampa Bay Chris Davis batting 159 for the Orioles hit 22 run homer is today so the Orioles a few scant days ago at a record of 29 and 74. They're now in a 3 game winning streak way to go but not catching the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees who each one today Boston 3 dot thing over Minnesota J.D. Martinez all 3 R.B.I.'s He has 89 runs batted in that lead to the majors when you have a guy finish 1st and 2nd in the M.V.P. Like they're going to this year would be better than Martinez I thought you were at the same guy because he's having such a good. Like of the same you would think this is a decades old war but bookie bets I mean even if he slumps he's still going to be at least $325.00 over you want to go because we want to the Yankees meanwhile could have a phenomenal season and have to go to a wildcard game a one game crapshoot as the things they're looking now for are going to turn the Yankees are 5 and a half games still back a Boston for the best overall record Yankees be Kansas City 63 Jay happen is Yankee Dave you got the win her boss to Nathan have all the in his Red Sox debut got the win Cleveland Cincinnati with victories Toronto and Texas as well which beat Houston again $43.00 The Mets were one nothing winners at Pittsburgh Zach Wheeler the winning pitcher Wow Pitt 6 innings and also hit an R.B.I. Double for the only run so he's gone so of course he is on the trading block yes Miami beat Washington 5 to nothing Bryce Harper at a single and 2 walks in the last the rest of the Nationals were one for 25 at the plate and then there was that Atlanta win for one over the Dodgers Shawn Newcomb the winning pitcher had the no hitter broken up with 2 outs in the 9th on his 134th pitch of the day and afterwards had to apologize after the game old tweets of his came out and tonight Nats shortstop Trey Turner and to apologize for old tweets NASCAR win for Kyle Busch big 3 NASCAR baby the big 3 cow Bush Mark tricks Jr Kevin Harvick they win every week. All right what is I mean when Geico says you're not wrong about what you taught if I hit the in Brazil or hire car insurance it means you probably should have gone to Geico dot com 15 minutes ago I've now been fired twice yes on the show tonight and many more to come I'm sure and by the way one time I was fired after backing up in on any story but you go figure hey let me post 2 quick things to you real quick before I hear from Tio and his incredible interview with the odd couple earlier today here on Fox Sports Radio 1st when people complain about the popularity of baseball are there so probably the popularity of baseball in the markets where the teams are good I mean I can imagine their own cloud right now in Boston people in Denver in the Colorado Rockies are eating it up you're loving it down in Houston it's I mean I don't know when I think about it there's a college football mindset to it for me where it's very regional and it's in it's interesting with I'm here in Norman Oklahoma say no baseballs dad it's done well all the teams there is kind of stink right now so there's no real passion for it is that a fair defense for maybe baseball not being in as bad of a spot it is as it is it at least in some people's mind well if you want fair representation then take away the top teams take away the bottom teams and and what do you have in the middle and you much of the Red Sox Red Sox having the best record in the history of the of the Boston Red Sox period there I mean they're putting up they're going to have like 111112 wins as you're that's that's unheard of but if it were going to make 4 or 5 teams with easily over $100.00 wins so you know it goes to show either we're top heavy there's a lot of bottom feeders that are just tanking like the did a couple years back and then the 2nd thing that I had to get to since we're on Boston right now and we didn't talk about the A.F.C. East this week because we previewed it last week but are these conversation topics coming out of Patriots camp fair guy still dig in about the Malcolm Butler saga Tom Brady still answering questions about Julian Edelman and Alex Guerrero Are these fair Are these just attempts to maybe try to needle guys a little. It I think it was a fair question that they asked Tom Brady about Edelman and that I mean Adam's a good friend of his he doesn't know what he took a supposedly so isn't that kind of a fair thing as governor Oh I think that's fair with the Edelman question to a certain degree but I don't get the Malcolm Butler thing I mean I think you know what you're going to get and I understand well maybe if you ask the question different is Bill Bell a check I mean you know what you're going to get so that was the one that was a little bit perplexing to me you know one of my listeners who is a big Patriot fan sent me an updated story that he got off one of the local Boston stations talking about that again and you know up Butler make a couple comments about that also maybe what that was more reaction to maybe Malcolm Butler saying anything but if I want to see. I thought I'm telling the shut up it's like a you're with us now let's go people ask you about it move on well let me let me give you the quote it says here this is what but rather say you know Bill Bellatrix a great coach makes good decisions we all make good decisions and we all make bad decisions obviously didn't work out good for me or him or the pages organization but he calls the shot it is what it is puzzler added I'll just say preparation is the best way to win and maybe they didn't see 100 percent mentally or physically the Malcolm Butler they usually see that's the 1st time I've heard of the closest to an excuse coming from outcome Butler I'm guessing OK fair enough just it seems like there was a couple of moments this week where it appeared as if maybe they were trying to needle guys instead of truly getting answers and they're cleared up a little bit quick tweets before we get to Tio Ernie writes here is the only stat you need to know about the Detroit football lions they have one yes one playoff win since 1957 when Arnie graduated from high school and they have been rebuilding ever since Patricia was a winner in New England but that will change now you know I can't think Stafford though. My losing my mind in thinking that you've got a good enough quarterback to Worthing get your defense up a notch develop a bit of a running game that maybe they have a chance in the division where 10 wins could be enough to get to that division maybe I'm maybe I'm just bloody a stubborn fan also I just don't think they have enough weapons like they do with a Green Bay and Minnesota the and and surely not a better defense than Minnesota's Yeah exactly so anyway we'll talk about the A.F.C. North next week after previewing the N.F.C. North TONIGHT earlier today on Fox Sports Radio The Odd Couple Chris Broussard and Rob Parker continue their run of great guests when Terrell Owens stepped in and Tito as you might imagine was asked about players protesting and had this to say layers need to really kind of have respect for them say oh where's our freedom of speech where do we have those liberties that give us individuality and the right to stand up for what we believe in that is being a bully your basic stripping someone of their right to do what they want to in a peaceful protest of whatever they have that they want to do it everybody has to be in unison if the players get together with the common go to for the right reasons to make a stay and they can create some leverage but to say and put guys in a situation where they have to do something that's not right just totally well here he's young he's well he's right about that 100 percent but my question is this if the players feel so strongly about this instead of protesting on a Sunday for one or 2 minutes when the networks aren't showing it anymore so you don't know who's protesting or not why didn't just give a team name you know I don't know how many people are on one side or the other but let's say the Pittsburgh Steelers said let's all get together go to the pirates game buy tickets for the 1st row and then when they play the anthem we're going to kneel Now that would make us watch would it not Chris or was yeah I would make a splash and I also here's the other part of this too everyone wants to applaud the N.B.A. And I know this has been said a 1000000 bazillion times but the N.B.A. Got Apollo. See in place as soon as Chris Jackson Mahmoud Abdulla Raul had his protest and yes it was negotiated between the N.B.A. In the N.B.A. Players Association but this was well before the world of social media this is an ass storm right now Arnie and I don't see any end in sight but I don't know I mean I wish more owners fair unfair I kind of know how you feel about this I wish more owners would take the approach of Arthur Blank this was by the way we don't want to get off on the anthem controversy but here is Arthur Blank I don't think it's the benefit of anybody in the league players or league or or or the cause themselves obviously to to have that kind of a kind of uproar around it and have the president I say it's the middle of it yes it it's almost as if and I know the gag order has been spewed out there by I don't know maybe get Del in this instance if they're asking the owners not to say anything but aren't you just I feel like you know you've got so many people on different pages and so many different perspectives you're having a hard time to really come up with one solid plan well hopefully a piece everybody you hit the right on the head there are certain owners that are completely you're going to stand or there's going to be consequences other owners like Arthur Blank feel completely different so they're not even close to being on the same page and as for Goodell told the owners to put a gag order on that that's laughable considering he works for the absolved they're not going to listen to anything he's got to say all right we didn't get to Tio want to similarities between he and Dez Bryant but I mean if there could ever have been a better comparison in the N.F.L. I don't know who it is at least from a personality perspective now on the field death has a long way to go to match Teoh's. I don't want to say hard work but production you can hear the entire interview right now at Fox Sports Radio dot com It is well worth your time to go on with Chris Broussard and Rob Parker Well you know what's coming up next oh yeah Arnie Spanier it is time for your picks and why.

Baltimore the Ravens a one and a half point favorite obviously in the Hall of Fame game and take in Baltimore big they go ahead and crush Chicago Chicago's not to know what I'm just not ready for the start of the season Baltimore's a little bit better off especially defensively I think Chicago's got some holes and not one take it Baltimore mind the one and a half and I'm going to go with the under 33 and a half because usually Yeah usually there's a low scoring game in the 1st Hall of Fame game so pick number one to be Baltimore by this one and have picked number 2 the under 33 and a half a couple of the picks I want to give you Bryant will be signed with the Browns by the time we'll get back on the air next Sunday the Yankees are gone they are finished it is O.B. Your for the Yankees and tomorrow night and you better watch this the Dodgers will show up in tuxedoes or suits for batting practice so there you have my picks 2 of them as you please remember the strictly presentation purposes only well whatever they showed up in today I hope that they never wear again yes he just did not work I would show up in like a tuxedo or suitable for batting by my gosh well just don't work today because it just did not work. I wanted to leave because of all the topics we've touched on tonight the dangers of social media the Dodger pre-game controversy college football writers that are basically being incredible drama queens and I guess maybe we touched on a little bit of the N.B.A. But Le Bron James spoke Yeah he spoke for the 1st time since joining the Lakers in here's what it sounded like moving to Los Angeles this is it's kind of like a dream come true for me you know growing up you know I was a Cowboys fan I was a Bulls fan I was a Yankees fan and and I will. Always felt like I was like this one of the historic franchises and you look at the Lakers and been able to play for a short franchise you know so much history you know and now being able to partner with Magic Johnson someone I kind of like you know looked up to when I was younger and you know one to make no look passes like magic want to get on a break and be showtime like magic you know what that magic coming back and playing I didn't understand well I guess here's what I don't understand. And I and I get it that there's a lot of jealousy in the N.B.A. Right now there is because and there's fear there's fear because they know the Lakers are almost back and it's going to take one more player and they know it's over I mean gold state they know it's over once Le Bron gets either Co I or Anthony Davis to come play with them but why is there so much complain about this right now Jerry West oh you know that it wasn't really about the Lakers I was more about L.A. OK well why don't you play for the Clippers and yeah exactly Miss Western Conference player Well he was going to Los Angeles it didn't matter and I'm thinking to myself there's 2 teams there so why is it such a slam dunk that he would choose the Lakers if it's just Los Angeles I don't get this disdain for this decision applies my mind not of people complaining Yeah I don't know why they're complaining every said he wanted to go to L.A. Instead of the Lakers what difference does it make He's in a way he's a Laker move on my friend right on me so next week we'll be talking about Dez Bryant and Brown I cannot wait and that was our final show without a football game so everyone enjoyed the week it had the Hall of Fame game on Thursday for the lead R.T.
