Time now to take a look at this ever evolving world of the NFL. It's Eric's filling in for Wulchuck, NFL News of the day. - Yes sir, thank you very much, 877-881153. I do wanna leave you with this big L here from the 214, a little bit self-inflicted, he's very self-aware about the decision he's making, but he says that he's breaking his current lease to move back in with his ex baby mama to save her from getting evicted. And he notes stupid decisions. But that's where some folks are here in the Metroplex right now, that's what they're dealing with. So just think about that here. - So his child is with the baby mama and he's trying to keep really the child from being put on the street, right? - Feels that way, yeah. Doing what he can. - That's an honorable thing to do, man. - No question about it. - You know, I know there's a lot of ways to raise a family but I mean, whatever problems you're solving by moving out in the first place, probably-- - The right decision? - I don't know, man. I mean, you're having to move back in there. I would say just make it work. Once you make a baby, make it work. - How do you feel about, man? Here we are like, like giving advice. But how would you feel about taking the child? - There's that too? - You know, and then making arrangements at your place that the child's gonna be at your place. - Sometimes that would just won't happen though. You know, judge won't let you, you know. - But she's about to get him work better, parent. - Yeah. - You know, I mean, I would argue like, listen, the child's in danger of being put on the street. - Yeah. - You know, why don't you let me take the child, I'll get child care. - Yep. - And the child will be-- - So then I would, so then to that, I would say, you know, now you have to deal with mom who's mad that she can't see her baby and is trying to make your life hell. It would probably be better if you could go back with the DeLorean, with the flux capacitor, back in time and just do whatever it takes to keep her happy. - Yeah. - That's my approach. - And I think, I kind of thinking like if it's done-- - I think the Lord sides with me, chief. - Yeah. - I think so. I think so. - Yeah. - There's certainly-- - Sorry to go blip Biblical on Sunday. - No, no, it's a Friday. We got the good fun vibes flown. - You never have to apologize for going Biblical to me personally. - I would say like, listen, you can come see the baby when you wanna come see the baby or the child. But you need to get yourself together. - Yeah. - You know, the fact that you're-- - Yeah. - You know, if me taking care of the child helps you get your life back together where you can, you know, we can maybe make some arrangements from there. - Yeah. - But obviously she can't pull it together. She's gonna get evicted. - Yeah. - So maybe the child's better off with me anyway. I don't think a judge, only a judge would sign, and I could be way, way wrong about this. But if the judge is saying, you know, he's gonna say, "Wait a minute. "Where does the child's safety have a better chance?" - It appears it's with the dad and not the mom, which we're not trying to take kids away from moms. I'm just saying, you know. - Where's this guy at? I wanna follow up, like, why is she your ex? Right there? - Yeah, she's an ex for a reason, fam. - Is that a text in? Did we get that? That was a text, somebody said that text. - That was definitely a text. - Yeah, let's follow up. - And the two, one, four. Big as hell, I'm breaking my lease to move back in with my ex, baby mom. - Ah, that's a bad little thing you're trying to do. - Still your baby momma though. - You're breaking your lease, you gotta pay that penalty. And then you gotta come back and take care of her. And like I said, she's an ex for a reason. So let's hope everything works out. - There's a lot going on there. - A lot. - This is a guy who's hearted in the right place though, I feel like. - Yeah, though. That's the one they love. - Like so stupid I hope to do. - They love that one the most. - Yeah, yeah, he's borderline too. - This is Ken Graham, don't worry about it. Oh, whenever you wanna get it back to me. - What the (beep) - Exactly. (beep) - Okay. - That's me walking out afterwards, yeah. I am going to give you the single best football analysis of one player that I've ever heard. Okay. - Got something working between the hip and the knee. - No, no, we're not talking baseball. - Pretty impressive. - Okay, we're talking football here. - All right. - Excellent speed and quickness despite his mammoth size. I've heard that one. - It's a pretty good one. I had a scout say that one time. This guy's got excellent speed and quickness despite his mammoth size. - That is tough to, that's gonna be a tough one. - Yeah, you're not gonna beat that one. - That's what you're going all in with. - Yeah. - That's the best football analysis you've ever heard about a player. - This guy sure is death and taxes. - Well, we do have an update. We know that the Packers and the Eagles are starting on a Friday night. - Brazil. - In Brazil. We heard about their disdain for the color green. - Ooh. - And there's been so many rumors about not being able to wear green there, but you're bringing the green Bay Packers and the filthy Eagles. - Yeah. - And how? - That's how the NFL messed this one up. - Who were the out of wizards that came up with this? - Is that a real thing? - It's a real thing. - It's a real thing. - It's a real thing. - Come on, bro. - Soccer teams. - Okay, I don't know how real it is, but I just saw the update on what the Eagles are gonna be wearing. - Black. - And they've never done this before, right? The Eagles wearing a black helmet? - Yeah. - They're wearing black pants. They will be wearing a white jersey. Now it looks like there are still the green numbers. - Green numbers. It does still look like green numbers. - I think they're holding these things out. I thought it was, I thought it were gold. I thought they were kind of goldish numbers. - The graphic that they tweeted out, the filthy Eagles. - Those look good. I'm not gonna lie. - Yeah, it looks pretty cool. And their helmets are so dark green that they can look black at times, I guess, and maybe their pants as well. But this is legit black pants, legit black helmet with the white jersey. So maybe a little green is allowed. Maybe just a touch of green is out. It'll be interesting to see what the Packers are able to pull off here. They're the home team. They're supposed to be wearing a green jersey. So I don't know, but I do know that the Eagles are wearing more black on their uniform than they ever have. - The Packers were in their 1995 throwbacks uniforms with gold helmets. - The blue and gold ones. - The baby blue, yeah. - Yeah, I'm just throwing it out there. - I know the Brazil National Team has played there. They're usually in like a yellow or a white, but they have a little green on the crest for the country, you know? Green's a pretty prominent color around Brazil. That must be quite a amount of sports passion. - You ain't kidding, man. Okay, we also have the Rishi Rice situation. - Did he get suspended? - No, he is not, and they don't anticipate that he's gonna be-- - That was gonna be on the waivers. - Not gonna be on the commissioner's exempt list either unless there's a material change in the case. So the NFL is really waiting for the legal situation to play out before determining anything. So there's a very good chance that Rishi Rice doesn't miss any time this season. And it could be at a later date when he actually gets the penalty by the league once a ruling comes down. So I know a lot of people have been avoiding Rishi Rice in their fantasy drafts and whatnot, but it seems like that's still going to be, like he was legit last year. That's still an awesome player. And so if the Chiefs don't have to miss him for any time, which at this point it doesn't look like they will maybe for this season, at least not early on in the season, there's just an update on his situation. - League wants that three-peat. - Yeah, dang right, he does. First ever in the NFL. - League's doing a good job of not making their players missteps off the field in the big national news. You know, I think that's what kind of they learned from the Zeke deal is like, man, there was not even any prosecution here. And we just made this huge controversy out of it that soiled one of the top brands we have in our league. This was not good for us. And the guy was never convicted and we're suspending him for six games. We got way carried away trying to get into the world of law and order when we should be running football teams. - Yeah, but what about our guy in Vegas? Killed that guy. - Henry Ruggs, yeah, yes. - I mean, I kind of felt like that the league is saying, listen, if you're going to continue to drink, drive, drive fast, whatever, that we're going to come down on you for this kinds of things, you know? I thought the Ruggs thing was going to, they were going to say, when are you going to learn? We're going to take game checks away from you when you're going to learn. - Yeah. - And send a message and obviously they don't think so. - I mean, these happen quite often in the NFL. It's kind of crazy for a League of 1500 players. How often you get a Josh Brenner, who was the other guy in the 90s? - Good rich. - That was the win, good rich. - Yeah, yeah. - That was early 2000s, yeah. - Well, the Jamar Chase saga, I mean, this is a big one here for the Bengals. He's looking to get paid. He's a year, he came out into the NFL. - Two years. - Yeah, he's still got two years left on his deal, unlike what Justin Jefferson and CD Lam both just had. So he's trying to get to the big contract a year earlier than these other guys, similar to like what Zeke did some years ago. So you have Ian Rappaport of NFL Network saying that he wants to be the highest paid wide receiver. He wants to be Justin Jefferson, even if it's just by one cent, he wants to be the highest paid receiver in football. So, and that's his LSU teammate, Jamar Chase was the, was thought to be the better player while they were there. He was younger, but as a true freshman, he's like absolutely dominating. And so, but now since coming into the league, Justin Jefferson has probably been a little bit better than him. And so, but you know, Jamar Chase and the confidence and of course, wanting to get paid and having that sort of that competition there with your teammate from college. He wants to be, even if it's just a cent, he wants to be the highest paid, but he's playing for the Bengals and they don't usually fork up all the money and reset markets at any position. Let alone the, yeah. - Did he do with Burrow? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, other than, yeah, with Burrow. - I was just asking, I wasn't trying to like check on that. I'm just saying, I thought they did it with Burrow. - Burrow did get paid, yes. So, we'll see man, that'll be crazy if Jamar Chase, I mean, and that's another tough one in a fantasy draft is you're trying, if you're doing a fantasy draft, I know I got a couple of mine this weekend, you're like, "Crap, where can I take him "if he's gonna be serious about this? "How far is he gonna take this?" - I'm just worried about guys missing game checks. You know, I just, I find that really, really hard that you're that dug in. - Yeah, you're gonna end up with way less than the gold that you want. - I always remember Laveon Bell and I think Laveon Bell, he didn't accept what, a $16 million your contract, something like that, he thought he could get more. And he left all that money on the table there, man. - This thing has been very important to athletes since the beginning of pro sports and if you're the upper, you know, a classman, you know, maybe you feel like, I want to be the top paid guy once we get to the NFL and if you're the younger guy, you're like, "I want to prove that I was the guy. "I was more than that guy, I am that guy." And, you know, I think it's kind of getting hung up on the wrong thing, but it's real. That comparative mind to lock in and be obsessed with, you know, recognition that you're the best. - What's up, ladies? - You have Mike McDaniel, Dolphin Ted Coach, getting an extension through 2028. So, kudos to him. - Have you seen his look? - Yes, yes. Number one offense. Made the playoffs two years in a row. Dolphins train wreck before you got him. Like, I'd be looking to give this dude a lifetime contract right now. He gets along so well with everybody in the organization. The players like him, the front office likes him. Like, whew. - Yeah, I think you're totally right. He's done so much for them. They're one of the more must watch teams just because of the excitement they bring, especially offensively, but their offense has completely faded at the end of each season. They come out of the gates incredible and then get them into November and December and playoff atmospheres. - Figuring out a little bit. - And they can't, yeah, they just, they can't get it done. How much of that is McDaniel, the play caller and play designer? How much of that is toa? I don't know, but that's gonna be something that they're gonna have to get cleaned up here. They just paid toa. I don't know how smart of a move that was, but nonetheless, happy for McDaniel. One of the funnest teams and funnest offenses in all of football, at least for the first couple months of every season. And there's a crazy new technology that's pretty cool right now. It's a $3 patch from Gatorade and NFL players are starting to wear this. And basically it's trying to get ahead of things like soft tissue injuries and cramps by being able to monitor the hydration levels and sodium levels on each player. - Finally, somebody figured this out. - So it's like a patch that they get to where it's the GX sweat patch. - There you go. - And it's brought to you by Gatorade and they're trying to get this all over the NFL, but it's a single use adhesive patch. And I guess there's been players all across training camps and preseason and stuff that have been wearing this thing. But trainers will basically just stick a patch on each player's inner left forearm before practice where it collects sweat and measure its sodium concentration. Then after practice is done, each patch can be scanned using the GX app to show how much body fluid was lost, how much sodium needs to be replenished for the athlete to recover efficiently. So NFL teams then can use this data to create a personalized electrolyte mix for each player. Then players are required to drink from the same bottle throughout the practice so that their fluid intake can also be tracked. So it's kind of a cool deal to mitigate dehydration, cramps, soft tissue injuries, that kind of stuff. Something to consider here. I like where this thing is going. - Yeah, I'm trying to look it up right now, man. This is great. One in week two. - Yeah, you can buy them. You can buy them straight up. You get like a 70 pack for like 20, or maybe it's a 20 pack for 70 bucks. I don't know, something like that. And then here is the quote-- - Seems pretty pricey. - I believe this, it's a $3 patch. Every time you use it, you just spent $3. - Well, yeah. - A cup of coffee. - Pretty pricey for you and I, but for NFL teams, they get them all free, right? - For sure. - Okay, now here's the quote. Here's the analysis. I believe this is the best football analysis and scouting report that we've ever received. - This is where the courtesy of Beast Mode, Marshawn Lynch, talking about Christian McCaffrey. Quote, "The Snow Bunny Pearl is going APS right now. "Toughton that tater bud. "He be doing hella S out of the backfield with that ball." End quote. - The Snow Bunny. - The Snow Bunny Pearl is going APS right now. "Toughton that tater bud. "He be doing hella S out of the backfield with that ball." (laughing) - He's got it. He's the greatest man. - That is good. - Let's get him a gig on TV. - Amazing guest from his-- - Because they're awesome and white! - It's from his new podcast. And somebody was kind of talking over him when he said it, so I just went ahead and made it to where-- - There you go. - I wrote it down. I don't even know what it's called. I'm sorry. I do have it here. - Is it called Beast Mode? - It should be called the Beast Mode podcast, to be honest with you. It's called Get Got, the Get Got Pod. - Okay. - I saw Mark Cuban was on Jalen Brunson's podcast. You guys see that? And they talked about his free agency and everything. It was really cool. And maybe we'll have time to get to that a little bit later on. But anonymous GM poll. No, I'm sorry. Anonymous agent poll with the athletic. What's the most dysfunctional organization in the NFL? Would Jerry be surprised to see the results of that and so much more? It's the G-Bagnation Live at the Comerica Backyard. And we're here to talk about it with you here in the G-B.

Comerica backyard here at the Globe. Rangers, baseball back tonight here in Arlington. Great chance to come out and see 'em. Now it is a sell out tonight. First 15,000 get Corey Seager, Bobbleheads. And it's Margaritaville of Friday night here with the Jimmy Buffett party scene and everything going down like that. But you know, next week, Jacob de Grom's gonna be pitching for the Texas Rangers, which is just exciting. And I think before too long, Comerica rocker's gonna be up here. You kidding me? You don't think Ray Davis is looking at that as an opportunity to get fans excited and make another 10 grand or something on a Friday night that's really important to him. - Yeah. - Mr. Penny Pinscher himself. - 10 grand. - Yeah. - I mean, he'll be like, I know you guys put a 50 inning limit on him and he could get injured. He's coming back from his shoulder and a Tommy John, but if I start him one more game here, it could really help my bottom line, you know? I'm trying to get to 5.13 billion dollars before the end of this year. I just, I've had too much time at 5.12, you know? We got to grind out these extra 10s, thousands of dollars wherever possible. You know, gonna keep your eye on the prize, what's really important. And again, Ray, thanks so much for the World Series champion chip. I appreciate it. Thanks for bringing in Simmy and Segar. But if that's all you needed to be satisfied and now you're like, well, hey, you know, the maps won a championship like 15 years ago and the fans still talk about it. I'm good for another 15 years. Barely making the playoffs. That sounds about right. If that's what you want to do, Ray, just sell the damn team, please. Okay, because CY and Boach, and you know, I'll give some credit to JD as well, have put the pieces in place for this thing to be special for a long time. We should just settle for one. Let's go do it, okay? Luxury tax threshold, you kidding me? You see the Dodgers payroll? It's like 320 million. It's like 80 million more. You're like, yep, we're gonna be paying the luxury tax here for the next four or five years, but that's the price of doing business. Ray sees the Oakland A's coming into town. He's like, I like the way they do business over there. Well, they got like a 50 million dollar payroll. Tell me about this money ball thing. You know, we just need to draft and develop better. Guys, always asking me to spend money. What do you think this is? It's like being make the trip here today. They're coming in here hot too, fellas. They've been doing some winning over the last month. They haven't been doing some winning. But we have an anonymous agent survey that's fantastic from the world of the NFL. The segments brought to you by soda, that state of the yard. It's brought to you by cars for kids. Donate today, carsforkids.org. You know, the agent's perspective, I think is the one I'm most interested in when it comes to all this. That was an incredible burp that you just snuck past. Yeah, it's amazing. You're detected? The ability that you just, I mean-- Wasn't undetected. What a balancing act. You got the players, you got the anonymous GMs, but they got some sort of an axe to grind. You know, I think these agents are working so closely with all the different components involved. Their perspective might be the best. They're on Jones ownership, anonymous agent. I don't think they want to win. I don't think they want to win above all. Jerry wants to turn profits and make headlines. I think the game has passed him by. I wonder how Jerry Jones would look at that. Boy, he's taking it from all angles, isn't he? You got DAXA, any lax credibility? You got anonymous agents saying, you know, the game has passed you by. Jerry, what are you going to do to prove us wrong, brother? I tell you, it's sad that, you know, I'm a guy that did not play football, that wasn't a co-captain of a national championship team, like you were back in the day, you know? But the thing with Jerry is he left football for 20 years. He comes back in, and within what, three years, he built the dynasty. That's because it's not that hard if you really, really want it. It's a copycat league, always has been. There's always been teams providing the blueprint, and he stepped up and said, oh, well, it's pro football, not that hard. Watch this. And he got it done to the tune of three championships in four years, right? And now, all these years later, he has become so deluded by his drive and his distractions that a guy like me, who never played football, he'll definitely not in college, spent the first 15 years of my broadcast career working in an NBA market, talking Pac-10 football, barely even looking at the NFL, other than in my own interests. And even I have a much better idea of what it takes to win a championship than Jerry Jones, the self-described best GM in football. So I think that's tough, Jerry, and I'm going to challenge you. What are you going to do about that? Yeah, he loves it. He feeds off of it, and it just makes him, I think, even more entrenched into where he's at. And it's not that he probably has extra motivation to prove everybody wrong, in a sense, but what's tangible that he's actually doing with that motivation that's different than what he's been doing this entire time. It'd be tough to really put your finger on anything. But when he starts this thing off, what does he do? He makes the most important hire, the head coach. And he frickin' nailed it. He did. And then he decided that he wanted to be the guy that was more of the shot collar. And so now it's a different type of head coach that you're hiring. Mike McCarthy, no problem, man. Don't really need to look at the free agent stuff, player acquisition, whatever. You guys handle that. Surprise me. With a fourth round pick, you just spin on a quarterback, everybody thinks sucks. Okay, very good. No problem, I don't mind that, 'cause I'm Mike McCarthy, and that's okay. And I'm a guy that got lucky one year. I had one of the greatest quarterback talents ever. I want a Super Bowl with that. Cool, I'm the type of guy you want to hire Jerry, 'cause I'm gonna stay out of your hair a little bit. Jimmy Johnson's like, no, no, no. I'm gonna be doing something here. I'm the football guy. I'm going to find the quarterback. I'm going to build the roster, and we will oil some parties together. And if you get back to that mindset, Jerry, then you can start the process of figuring it out. Get the coach right. You haven't done it since, Jimmy. Yeah. You can start worrying about the quarterback. If he hires Bella Chek, are you guys going to slam him? No, I'm not going to. I'm not slamming anybody for hiring the greatest football coach of all time. I'm not going to do that. Dolls up. I think that's another potential for the game is passed in by. But, you know, I don't know what the evidence was that Bella Chek can give you an edge after Brady left. Like the decision is bad. Look at this last three or four drafts. But if he's going to be head coach, he's going to help you scout the opponent. And you're going to have a front office and a real offensive coordinator. I'd be excited about Bella Chek. Has he ever hired a real offensive coordinator? I mean, we could talk about the guy. Daniel's. McDaniel's. Yeah. I think he had. Nobody that's ever succeeded somewhere else. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, to me, to me, football, you talk about Bella Chek and, you know, the fact that he'll come in here and he'll want to work and stuff and, you know, he'll be that part of it. But he's, he's, he's, I think the Patriots made the right decision. He was running the personnel department. His, the way that he ran the personnel department, their drafts were terrible, their teams terrible. It's one of the worst teams. You know, when you look at right now, only wolves dealing with a mess of an organization. So, you know, I'm kind of like, you know, I'm kind of like in that situation right now where I don't know if I want Bill Bella Chek to come rolling in here. That's totally fine. That's totally fine. But it would show that Jerry's willing to acquiesce a little bit to a football person, you know? Yeah, with poor cells. Best run franchise. Cowboys weren't in the top 10. It was mostly Chiefs, Niners, Eagles, which is the most unstable franchise. Cowboys finished tied for third in that one. Gotta be the Jets, right? Yeah. Well, I think it's unstable franchise. I can tell you a couple of chips. Chief, you got that? Yeah. Unstable is gonna be the Panthers, then the Raiders, then the Jets. Yeah, okay. There we got the Panthers. I forgot about the Panthers. But they got as many votes. I mean, the Jets, Jaguars, Cowboys, and Cardinals all got the same amount of votes for most unstable. But I don't know how to read better there. I don't think it's that bad. They're not unstable. Who? The Cowboys. The Cowboys are not unstable. No. It's very stable. You'd argue a little too stable with some of the same face. I'm going to take Jerry and the nuts here on this thing. I would use the word "impotent." I would use the word "impotent" instead of unstable, you know? Or maybe capped, I don't know. Which franchise had the best offseason? Commanders won that poll. They like the higher of Dan Quinn and the drafting of the quarterback. And, you know, obviously you move on from that owner that gives it a chance to have better leadership from the top. I think that's really what it is. Just not having Dan Snyder there anymore is a huge, huge one. Can we ask you this? Should agents-- and I'm just-- I'm not trying to defend Jerry Johnson. I know it sounds like it. But should agents hate Jerry Jones for the fact that the amount of money from the contracts that they've done, that everything seems to be-- yeah, they fight him. But at the end of the day, their players have seemed have gotten the most value for their fight. Yeah, no. I mean, I'm just asking is-- if you're an agent, you should kind of look at Jerry Jones as a-- well, damn, I'm going to battle him. But he's going to give my guy more money. You know, he's not going to cheapskate me, but he's going to make me fight and fight and fight and fight at the end. I'm going to get my contract. Yeah, I don't think they dislike him. You know, I think he's a likable guy. Maybe you could be annoyed if you don't have any players that have been drafted by them. Because he's not going to go make a compelling offer to your free agent coming in from another team. I kind of look at the guys. I mean, I think CD Lam's agent's probably pretty happy with Jerry Jones right now. Yeah, he kind of kicked his ass the whole way. But he helped me got what he wanted to see. He killed LA. All these guys that Zack Martin, he didn't have to extend Zack Martin, he extended Zack Martin. They-- they-- the thing with Terence Steele injured his stuff. My guy is hurt, and you're giving him more money. Yeah. As an agent, I'm like going, god dang. This poll is more about like how good you are doing your job for your team. I don't think there was a question like how easy are these guys to work with. Right, right. But I do like-- they're going to say that Howie Roseman is the best general manager. I think the guy in Kansas City is actually the best one. They like Roseman a lot. They like Roseman a lot. Best GM Brett Veatch won it with that. Yeah, Kansas City, right. Roseman was second. OK, Roseman is second, though. But actually, how do you think about Philadelphia's team right now? What do you-- what do you guys think about Philadelphia's team? Borderline playoff team. There you go. Yeah. And that's the best general manager. So I don't trust any of these damn agents. It's put you in the Super Bowl twice in the last seven years. I get it, but I'm just saying, though-- I'm just asked you guys. I didn't-- I just asked you both. Yeah. You both said-- Well, now. But I believe that the best GMs are writing the teeter-totter. We're up a couple of years. We're much more down a couple of years. So I think the fact that the Eagles are the evils-- I like that. That was unintentional. But the fact that they're mid this year, I think, is actually a sign that they're doing it right. But Brett Veatch won it with the Chiefs. I mean, how could you not? Commanders won the poll of best off seed. Eagles came in fifth there, locking up Devontae Smith before the receiver market took off. They extended H.A. Brown as well. Signed Saquon Barkley. I don't know. That's a lot of money for an injury prone running back. They helped the defense with Vic Fangio. I don't know about that. First two picks on corners to help an older cornerback. That was a pretty good draft they had, didn't they, Brian? Yeah, the corner they got is a good player. Yeah, absolutely. All righty. Well, I do think you make a good point in regards to the way agents feel about the Cowboys, Dawson, in terms of the outside for agents, though. Yeah, they pay their own. But how many guys feel like they've gotten a lowball offer from the Cowboys and for agency over the years? Like, hey, hey, Bobby Wagner. Of course, we'd love to have you at a league minimum. And he's like, go F yourself. Derek Henry is like, man, I can't even get in a room with these guys. They want nothing to do with me or whatever. So just, I do think there is some aspect of that. But again, as Dawson mentioned, I do think this is just more of like, hey, bias is aside. How do you think they run their organization compared to all the other teams that you run with? It's not about did you get your guys paid with them. It's like, is the game of football passing Jerry by? I'm asking you this question. Is there a free agent out there that you wish they would have went and bought? Is there somebody in your mind that you're like, you know what, gamut, if they would have done this-- In this last-- I'm just saying any time. Last. Anytime. Anytime. What-- give me the free agent that you guys-- and I know that's an unfair question because you probably should have had a chance to research it a little bit. Yeah, I would have to like-- But I just was curious-- I'm as curious about that. And I wonder how that guy ended up. Was it somebody that they should have gone after, they didn't get him, or they didn't even try? Probably Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers. They like to sit with just slightly above average quarterbacks when these Hall of Famers are coming available. Peyton Manning took team championship. Tom Brady, team champion. See, this is the thing-- OK, now this is where, you know, when you look at Peyton Manning, Dawson damaged goods? He was pretty damn good in Denver. Didn't he throw like 45-- But damaged goods? He means the Super Bowl he won. He won with a defense, but he was a damaged player. Yes, but he-- Much like had a Hall of Fame mind and didn't screw it up, you know, even though he couldn't throw the ball 30 yards. See, and I have a feeling if you and I were doing radio together, you would have kicked their ass for taking a damaged quarterback. Because you're good with this. You're good at saying, hey, I don't want the damaged player. I've done basketball shows with you. I've done baseball shows with you. And I guarantee you would have said-- But that was one injury, you know? You're consistent about it, though. You're consistent. Injuries happen. Don't give me the injured player. I'll take one injury, Peyton Manning, over five injury, Tony Romo. Yeah, I mean, like the whole thing with Max Scherzer. Yeah. Why do we want Max Scherzer here? Like, everybody was-- I was more anti-degrom. And then-- Because that's a track record, not just one injury that you're coming back from. But that's what I'm saying though. You don't want the injured player. Because Andrew Luck was staring them in the face. Yes, you're going to get eventually some injuries in sports, Brian. And I don't want the guy that is chronically injured. But if the guy that's been healthy his whole career, Peyton Manning, like all those consecutive-- Now, damage. --started one injury. Neck damage. I'm sitting to my guy here. He's got a broken back. He's got collarbone. Tony Rummel was right and left. And they're like, no, we're sticking with our guy. As these goats are moving teams, and they're like, no, we're sticking with our dudes. I mean, these are just-- these are agents, Brian. No, I'm just saying they'll-- None of them are capin' for Jerry Jones. Well, but I'm saying it, but the deal is though, the whole thing is these agents-- and I said it earlier-- these agents shouldn't be-- they should be kissing Jerry's ass for the money that are putting their pocket. That's why they're not because they're anonymous. They're unbiased about the money they're just sharing on us-- I wonder what you're just talking to, to be honest with you. I don't know. Do you think they're going to hire you? Like, as much as you've been defending them this week in the face of all of this? No. Why are you doing this, Brian? No. Why do you continue to defend a three-decade run of crap? I think we have to be fair about it. That's all I'm doing. That's all I-- I mean, I understand. I've been-- hey, the last time they won a Super Bowl, I won the year after. That was a long time ago. Yeah. Long time ago. It was a long time ago. And it was saying, though, I just-- I just-- I wonder, though, about some of these agents. That's all I'm just bringing it up. That's all. OK. Well, we do have Crusty's Corner coming up next, Brian. Where would you like to take the conversation? Yeah, I got a survey. I'm going to run through with my guys. We'll do that. OK, thank you, Lucius. We're live at the Globe, where the Rangers take on the A's tonight season tickets for 2025 on sale now. It is time for Crusty's Corner, brought to you by reliant air conditioning, gimmick-free AC repair and replacement areas. The King brought us. Thank you very much, General. Appreciate that. Someone text me and reminded me about Namde Awesome Law. What we-- you know, when we started talking about-- That was-- yeah. Guys that we-- like free agent dudes. Like, we were all excited about it. Go get 'em, break the bank floor. I was like going, I was like going, God, I forgot about that name. Namde Awesome. I remember being in-- I remember being in the press box in San Antonio. And we're looking down on the field. And it's Jerry, Rob, Ryan. They're practicing. And they're passing the phone around during practice like recruiting him is what they were doing. They had him-- they were trying to get the guy to come. And then he goes on to Philadelphia. But during the practice, you could tell that they were-- you know, they were passing it around to try and get everybody to get him signed up. And it was kind of like, all right, here we go. We were doing live commentary about it. Like, we're all in the press box, like talking to you. OK, what are they doing? Let's go back and forth and stuff like that. It's kind of crazy. Rob, Ryan. Rob, Ryan on the phone. We're trying to get that done. But anyway. All right. In honor of-- on Friday, and I was like to try and have fun. I saw Dawson's Mrs. Baird's grabbing go donut bag over there, right? Put it on the webcam here for us. Lucious, are you with us today, too? Are you with us today? Lucious, I'm busy. Physically, I'm here, yeah. OK, I need you for this game, if I could, all right? So we're going to play a little Friday game is what we're going to do. OK. And I looked up something because I was curious. I was just curious about, you know, what are the-- what are the worst things you can eat? Like, from a health standpoint? Yeah, and I'm going to go-- I'm going to give you two. I'm going to give you two things. And you've got to tell me what is the worst of the two things I'm going to give you to eat. OK. We're going to play this game, OK? You ready? Because, like I say, the grabbing goes are-- and the grabbing goes are on here. The grabbing goes are on here. Yeah, they're on here. Well, it's inspired by them. It's inspired by them. Yeah, that's Mrs. Baird, by the way. Yeah, I just wanted to make sure. She's still getting it done. All right. Sweet lady. Chief, I'll start with you on this one. OK. This is coming from dietitians. This is a dietitian, top 25, of the worst things you can eat. From what that is, oftentimes, the D and dietitian stands for dumbass. OK. OK. So hopefully, that's not the case here. OK, here we go. Fruit, canned in syrup, or diet soda, which is the worst for you to eat, Chief, or consume? How about that? Fruit in canned syrup, or diet soda? I'm sure that canned syrup is important there. But I would still say I'd rather put fruit in my body than whatever other heck of diet soda is. So you're saying-- So I would say the fruit is healthier. You're saying the fruit's healthier. But it's probably got more sugar in it. OK. How about you, Dawson? I'm going to say the fruit syrup's the worst. It's that high glucose corn syrup stuff. OK, so you're saying that's the worst, OK? Lucius, what's the worst for you? Fruit, canned in syrup, or a diet soda? Syrup, a diet soda. I would say the diet soda is worse. Boys? Thank you. It's the fruit, canned in syrup is the worst. And they give us any kids, like young, kid, or young age. Remember that? Remember that? That Del Monte used to pop the can of it open. And he's like, oh, hey, your mom's giving it to you. Like, oh, here, have this. We're eating healthy today. She might as well hit you a cigarette, you know? Hey, here, have a cigarette while you're doing the-- Ooh, I usually like cigarettes after spicy food. Yeah, exactly. We'll get to a nice American cigarette conversation in the news down here in a few minutes. That's number one. That's the worst thing you can eat. Fruit, canned, and syrup. That's the worst. That's worse than whatever Dawson's eating out of Mrs. Baird's grab some mystery canals. That was one verse four. That was one verse four right there. OK, so diet soda's not good. It's concrete. Dawson. Yeah. Low fat peanut butter or salami? Oh, God. I'm going to say salami. Too many preservatives. How about you there, Lucius? Low fat peanut butter or salami? Low fat peanut butter. Chief Dunn? What is more unhealthy? Yes. Yeah, I will probably go with the processed meat there as well. Guys, this was a five verse nine matchup. OK. Close call. Low fat peanut butter is worse for you than salami. Wow. OK. Because what is low fat peanut butter? What is that? Yeah, what's in there? Yeah. What are you doing? To the peanut butter. That's what they-- I have heard that-- It's all trying tricky with the words. There's some gut irritants in the peanut butter. I have heard that. I've just tried to ignore it because it's so good. All right. Here we go. This is an 11 verse 13 matchup. OK. Packaged butter flavored popcorn. Oh, it's fire. Yeah. Or Dawson's donuts. I mean, you got it. Oh, really? I'm not doing too bad. The donuts have to be-- You're not going to have to be your father. Today you consume number four. How is that only-- how can that be? Let's go. Just fake bread dipped in fake sugar. Loosius with some ingredient that keeps them fresh for months on the show. That's out of your horrible. That's insane. Loosius, tell me. Is it a packaged butter flavor popcorn or donuts? Which one is worse for you? If that popcorn didn't have that butter flavor, it'll probably be better than the donuts. But I'm going with the donuts. Because what is that butted flavor? What is that? Yeah. Something fake. You never know. Yeah, it's a science experiment for you. It doesn't mean it. What are you going with there? Does it melt? It doesn't melt. Like the ones that are already in the package, and you open it up and have to spread it on there? Like, it didn't melt the whole time. What is this? It didn't stiffen up. What are you doing? I do think the donuts, like just my brain, says that the bread dipped in sugar should be worse. Yeah. So you're saying the donuts is worse. OK. Loosius, what did you say? Do you say donuts? Yeah, you did. OK. Dawson? Worse, which one is worse? Yeah, which one was worse? I think it's that butter stuff on the popcorn. Oh, the butter popcorn. I'm sorry. I think I got to hear better. It's OK. Dawson? I'm going to go with the donuts. They will constipate you. This was an 11 verse 13 matchup. Yeah. It's a package donuts. Yeah, they're worse. They're worse. Yes. They're worse. OK. Finally, Common Sense wins out for the first time. Yeah, we have time for one more. So the history of this game has enriched flour. Yeah, this is what is that? Fortify. What is that? Fortify. I mean, how bad could sodium aluminum phosphate be? OK. Here's the final one. Here's the FBA for improving it, too. Here's the final. I got two of these. But I'll maybe come back to the next one at the-- OK. Chief. Yes, sir. Microwaver bowl. I can't even say it. Microwaver bowl. Mic-- oh, you're using microwave. You got the micro. You need a shot of vodka. You need a shot of vodka. The flavorful rice in a microwave. There you go. Or low-fat ice cream. This is an 18, verse 20 matchup. Yeah, I would say that they'll say the ice cream's worse because of all the sugar and crap that's in there. So I will say the ice cream is worse than the rice. Awesome. There's no way the rice is worse. Is it going ice cream? Yeah. Lucious? I hope not, because I definitely use a microwavable pack of rice for lunch today with my chili. That's nice. Yeah, man, it's amazing, dawg. So everybody win ice cream? Yes. 18, verse 20 matchup. The rice is worse for you. Yeah. Oh, my god. Ice cream? Yeah, sorry, Lucious. Oh, bro. I'm just going to do the ice cream, man. All right, one more. One more. I've got to be with one more. One more here. All right, this is a 21, verse 24 matchup. This is-- OK, Dawson. It's a couple of slap teams. Yeah. Sweet tea-- Oh, yeah. --for the impossible burger from Burger King. Oh, we already know what it is, man. Sweet tea's worse. Lucious? I'm going to say the impossible burger, because it's a whole lot of ingredients that are not really ingredients, they're like car parts. The impossibly healthy burger. There's no way that burger is healthy. It's impossible that there's any good flavor with that. It's impossible that you eat that burger and feel better about yourself afterwards. It's impossible that that should be consumed by a human being. 21, verse 24. Yeah. The impossible burger. [LAUGHTER] Thank you, Jim. I appreciate it. Who's the big meat? Crusty's corner.
