| 0:00.0 | Good, get lost. All right, that's the news of the day. Thank you for that. We gave and I do want to apologize to Luke for the update where we began the arena football league memories. |
| 0:11.0 | He doesn't know you. I apologize. But I know what arena football had its time in the mid 90s. It was exciting. Here's the thing. |
| 0:19.0 | This is going to be a USFL games. I guess that's for field. The Michigan Panthers will be playing locally. I believe if a tree falls in the woods. Have they announced it formally? |
| 0:29.0 | They have Detroit for field will be a hub for the Philadelphia stars and the Detroit Panthers. Michigan Panthers. Okay. I don't care. All right. So let's do this. Tom Brady retired for real this time. And at least we think. Yeah. |
| 0:45.0 | And again, we started the show and had the conversation about look is Brady, the greatest living athlete out there. You know, did he leave the greatest legacy and naturally boils down to Michael Jordan, Tom Brady. I don't think anybody else really rises to that occasion. |
| 1:00.0 | But you just heard Luke in the update and forgive me if you guys don't find this interesting. We can pivot back to the legacy thing. But the news that hey, you know, Fox gave him this rolling contract. Whenever you're ready, we're ready to the tune of 10 years and $375 million. |
| 1:18.0 | I want you to help me with something. Aren't they about to waste $375 million? Isn't Tom Brady just going to be another version of Tony Roma? |
| 1:30.0 | Like Tony Roma was an atrocity. Tony Roma should be fired. Tony Roma is not working hard. See, here's the difference. I don't know if Tom Brady has person. |
| 1:42.0 | No, that's my point. At least Tony Roma has a person. I said different version. Yeah. Tony Ramos, like a guy who does a bunch of whippets or sniffs glue before the broadcast. Brady is going to be Brady super guarded, super weird. |
| 1:57.0 | That's what Ramos to me is that comedian who's just not funny. But some people think he is, but most people done. He's what is a Zach Gallifeneckis to me, not really funny, but some people enjoy him. |
| 2:11.0 | Brady just kind of seems like Brady's going to be awful. I'm just here to get a check. Where do I sit guy? What camera do I look at? No, it's funny. When you have an opinion, no, I just think that these team is good. |
| 2:23.0 | Like Greg Olson is what these networks thought Tony Roma would be. Or what whatever Fox thinks Brady is going to be. It's Greg Olson. |
| 2:32.0 | Like the idea that Brady has been promised. I don't know why it just struck me sitting here. How absurd to sign a guy, site unseen, no training, no proof of life. 10 years, 375 million. And I get it. |
| 2:46.0 | Everyone's going to say, well, it's Tom Brady. Guys, you saw how fast the bloom comes off the rose for broadcasting, right? It takes a real special crew to last. Like what they have on inside the NBA with Shaq and Kenny and Charles and Ernie. |
| 3:03.0 | But like Ramos already done. Everybody hates him. It's a matter of time before he's gone. |
| 3:11.0 | I wonder if he just goes to the pregame show. And as we said, no, he's going to the A booth. I think that he'll be there for a game or two and realize how long it is. He's not interesting. And he really doesn't care. |
| 3:26.0 | Because I don't think he's going to give an opinion on anything. He's just going to tell you, yeah, and he dropped a path. Thanks, Tom. We all saw that. Now, David brought up a good point. What? Maybe he just ends up replacing Bradshaw. |
| 3:38.0 | See, here's a thing. I said that earlier to you. But then I read an article. His contract says the number one game analyst. That's what I just said and no one listens to Kevin Burke. No, I would say Mike. Read the detail. |
| 3:52.0 | I love your ball. That's what it says. So while I would want him to replace Bradshaw, he can't. No, no, but he's also an ambassador, which means we can move you around if this thing doesn't go the way we want. |
| 4:07.0 | What are you not going to take the check if we move and change jobs? He'll know Brady's a perfectionist and he's going to know, God, I suck. This is horrible. What am I doing? |
| 4:19.0 | Because you have to. He doesn't look like the type that can sit there and say anything negative about anybody. It's going to be all lollipops and then there's your problem. |
| 4:28.0 | Look, I just that was only part of it. I'm not suggesting we do the Brady broadcast as a soul topic and think about this. He doesn't. He also doesn't like the type that will share intimate stories about when he was a player and you know what? |
