This is an I-Heart podcast.

This is the best of two pros and a couple of Joe with LaVar Erington,

Brady Quinn and Jonas Knox on Fox Sports Radio.

What on?

Welcome in here.

He's Jeff Schwartz. I'm Brian, though, in for the crew today and fired up.

I'll tell you what, Jeff. You and I are, we're ball addicts over here, right?

We are certified ballaholics. And ball, meaning football, is right around the corner in terms of it, meaning, like, counting for real. Right now we got a little hors d'oeuvres, right? A little salad, little preseason action to tide us over. But the real stuff is right around the corner, my friend. That's a beautiful thing. I was thinking yesterday about how much fun I had watching football this week and how we won't get it, I think, until Saturday again. I don't think there's any weekday games in the preseason this week. And so it made me really sad. Like, I very much enjoyed, like, yesterday I wasn't watching the games hardcore, especially the second game. I just was watching end of the golf yesterday and watching baseball and cooking dinner. But like, it was just on the background.

I had baseball on my iPad and flipping back between the end of the FedEx Jew championship

with Tommy Fleetwood again, just can't get home.

Poor guy.

Can't win a tournament.

But just, it was nice to just be like, oh, you know what?

I'm going to listen to the fourth quarter of a football

game while I make dinner. That was just very enjoyable. Yeah, it's very cool. And it's funny, too,

because I felt like that too. The NFL did a very good job of spacing the preseason games out.

Yes. They're like, hey, here's a couple on Thursday. Here's a couple Friday. Here's a bunch on

Saturday. Here's two more on Sunday. And by the time the Sunday games rolled around, the last one was the Saints at the Chargers. And even though Tyler Shuck, who's the second round pick, he could be a week one starter for the Saints. There's just no juice.

You know what I mean?

It's just... Yeah, it's like...

It's also the stadium.

They're playing in a dead stadium in Los Angeles.
