0:25
Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
0:29
Speaker 3: Oh what is going on? Welcome in here. We got
0:32
Speaker 3: all kinds of stuff going on. We got sex toys
0:35
Speaker 3: flying on courts and the WNBA still we have. We
0:40
Speaker 3: have Malton Militia, a knockdown, drag out fight that is
0:46
Speaker 3: brewing between myself and Justin Cooper that will come your
0:50
Speaker 3: way throughout the show this morning. And also we got ball, man,
0:55
Speaker 3: we got ball all over the place. It's a month away,
1:00
Speaker 3: and we get the NFL even shorter for college football.
1:03
Speaker 3: All kinds of stuff going on when it comes to ball.
1:07
Speaker 3: Of course, rational thinking human beings consider ball to be football.
1:13
Speaker 3: So that's where we start right here. We start with
1:17
Speaker 3: I was thinking about this with Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. Okay,
1:21
Speaker 3: so there was a video floating around of Caleb Williams
1:25
Speaker 3: trying to throw a football into a net. Okay, so
1:29
Speaker 3: they had like these three openings in the net, and
1:33
Speaker 3: you're trying to hit each opening, right It kind of
1:36
Speaker 3: if you have a shorter like a slot receiver, that's
1:39
Speaker 3: the shorter one. Then there's like a medium one. Then
1:41
Speaker 3: there's like a taller one if you have dk Metcalf
1:44
Speaker 3: or someone to throw to like that, you know, so
1:46
Speaker 3: it's like small, medium in large. So he's trying to
1:48
Speaker 3: throw the ball through the net and he's missing, and
1:51
Speaker 3: then he's missing again. Then he misses one more time,
1:55
Speaker 3: and then he's frustrated. And now all of a sudden,
1:58
Speaker 3: this is a thing. Were like, oh God, I don't
2:01
Speaker 3: know about this guy. Here we go again, Caleb Williams. No, no, no,
2:05
Speaker 3: there's actually a tweet so Scott Barrett, he covers fantasy football,
2:12
Speaker 3: and he tweeted it caught my attention. He tweeted, My
2:15
Speaker 3: uncle just texted me this told you that nail polish
2:19
Speaker 3: was a red flag. Like there are people that think
2:22
Speaker 3: these things, like realistically think these things. And so I
2:27
Speaker 3: started thinking about Caleb Williams, and I thought about it
2:32
Speaker 3: from more of like a bigger level, more of like
2:34
Speaker 3: a league wide level, because Caleb Williams is incredibly scrutinized.
2:41
Speaker 3: Right he's under the microscope. We're breaking down him throwing
2:45
Speaker 3: a ball into a net, and this is a thing.
2:49
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. But the question becomes when you expand it
2:54
Speaker 3: beyond Caleb Williams. Is Caleb Williams the most scrutiny NFL
3:01
Speaker 3: quarterback right now? Is he at the top of the list?
3:06
Speaker 3: And so I started thinking about quarterbacks around the league.
3:09
Speaker 3: Who's on the short list as one of the most
3:12
Speaker 3: scrutinized quarterbacks in the league right now? So I've got
3:15
Speaker 3: a few guys on my list. Guys are more than
3:17
Speaker 3: willing to participate, are more than welcome, I should say,
3:21
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're willing, we'll find out, but
3:23
Speaker 3: you're more than welcome to participate. So on my short
3:26
Speaker 3: list of most scrutinized NFL quarterbacks, let's define that first.
3:32
Speaker 3: We just pick on them at every everything they do.
3:35
Speaker 3: It's like the Police song. It's like when Sting said this,
3:42
Speaker 3: that's right, We'll be watching everything you every little thing
3:45
Speaker 3: you do. We're gonna be all over it. We're gonna
3:48
Speaker 3: be scrutinizing it, we might make a bigger deal than
3:51
Speaker 3: there needs to be made about it, but you better
3:54
Speaker 3: believe we'll be watching everything and we might react to
3:58
Speaker 3: ninety five percent of those things. Right, So scrutinized, meaning
4:02
Speaker 3: that under the microscope, Dak Prescott has to be on
4:06
Speaker 3: the short list. He's the quarterback of America's team, and
4:10
Speaker 3: he hasn't had postseason success. Okay, so we follow everything
4:15
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott does, and he was banged up last year,
4:18
Speaker 3: only played eight games. But if he's behind center the
4:22
Speaker 3: whole season, long rest assured, he is going to be
4:27
Speaker 3: incredibly scrutinized. Someone else that's still on this list. You
4:31
Speaker 3: have to include Brock Purty, the Niners QB. Now, I've
4:36
Speaker 3: said many times, the Purty Police. They are everywhere, Okay,
4:42
Speaker 3: the people, the defenders of Brock Purty. If you say
4:46
Speaker 3: anything halfway critical about their guy, Brock Purty, they will
4:50
Speaker 3: be lurking and just itching to make a citizen's arrest
4:55
Speaker 3: if you slip up and say anything that's a little
4:58
Speaker 3: bit too critical of their guy Brock. So there's this
5:01
Speaker 3: back and forth thing with Brock Purty and I don't
5:05
Speaker 3: The weird thing is, I don't think many people just
5:08
Speaker 3: flat out trash the guy. I think the most common
5:12
Speaker 3: take of brock Purty is he's pretty good but and
5:18
Speaker 3: that's where we part. That's the fork in the road,
5:20
Speaker 3: but not a difference maker in terms of once you
5:24
Speaker 3: pay him huge money, he's able to compensate for the
5:28
Speaker 3: deficiencies of the roster. Look, that's where the debate where
5:32
Speaker 3: it lands. Right there. I don't believe he is a
5:34
Speaker 3: difference maker. Now they have to cut corners, they have
5:37
Speaker 3: to let some guys go. They've lost a lot of talent,
5:39
Speaker 3: and I'm supposed to sit here and expect brock Purty
5:42
Speaker 3: to take him to the promised Land when he doesn't
5:44
Speaker 3: have as good of a supporting cast. I just don't
5:46
Speaker 3: believe it. But because of that back and forth, that
5:51
Speaker 3: discussion where I say that and some other people think
5:55
Speaker 3: that and say that, it's met with the Purty police
5:57
Speaker 3: who think he can do no wrong and he's or
6:00
Speaker 3: it changed and he's undersold and he's not given his
6:02
Speaker 3: flowers and YadA yaa. It goes back and forth. So
6:05
Speaker 3: he is incredibly scrutinized. I would say a couple other
6:09
Speaker 3: quarterbacks on the short list of most scrutinized right now
6:13
Speaker 3: and heading into this season. Kind of like where it
6:16
Speaker 3: stands right now and where I see it going this season,
6:20
Speaker 3: you'd have to include. I believe Justin Herbert and Trevor Lawrence.
6:25
Speaker 3: Now for the reasons why. Justin Herbert, He's had a
6:29
Speaker 3: lot of regular season success, just in that playoff wins,
6:32
Speaker 3: and there are a lot of people that hammer him
6:34
Speaker 3: for that, and justifiably, so you gotta step up of
6:38
Speaker 3: the postseason. You gotta produce, you gotta win games. Trevor Lawrence,
6:42
Speaker 3: he was supposed to be the best prospect since Andrew
6:46
Speaker 3: Luck number one overall pick. I thought he was going
6:49
Speaker 3: to be a baller. He has not been a baller
6:53
Speaker 3: or anything close to that while he's been in the NFL.
6:57
Speaker 3: And it's go time now. I always got Leam Cohen
7:01
Speaker 3: as a competent head coach, at least a competent offensive mind.
7:05
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas Junior had a fantastic rookie season as a
7:09
Speaker 3: wide receiver. Now he gets Trevor Travis Hunter. It's like
7:12
Speaker 3: the excuses are over. It's go time. But everything that
7:15
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence does, especially if he's not performing to the
7:20
Speaker 3: level that we thought he would reach, especially at this point.
7:24
Speaker 3: He gets hammered for that, and again rightfully so. But
7:28
Speaker 3: he's scrutinized heavily, and I would argue as he should be.
7:32
Speaker 3: He's a former number one overall pick. We're like best
7:34
Speaker 3: prospects since Andrew Luck and he hasn't come close to
7:37
Speaker 3: living up to that. I would also include in these
7:41
Speaker 3: are more like the honorable mentioned guys. Two more on
7:43
Speaker 3: my list of most scrutinized, and we'll whittle it down
7:46
Speaker 3: to the most scrutinized quarterback in the league right now.
7:51
Speaker 3: I would mention Aaron Rodgers as kind of like an
7:55
Speaker 3: honorable mentioned guy. He's gonna be scrutinized quite a bit.
8:00
Speaker 3: And I would say he's more like the Jerry Jones
8:03
Speaker 3: of athletes, meaning he finds a way to keep himself
8:07
Speaker 3: in the spotlight. Maybe it's a hit on the Pat
8:11
Speaker 3: McAfee show, or he says something the spotlight. He's like,
8:15
Speaker 3: oh wait, the spotlight's going away from me. Let's change that.
8:18
Speaker 3: Let's put right back on me, right back on number twelve,
8:20
Speaker 3: Right back on Aaron Rodgers. All right, So, like we're
8:24
Speaker 3: going to be fixated on what Aaron Rodgers does and
8:28
Speaker 3: doesn't do this season. I don't think it's going to be,
8:32
Speaker 3: you know, top of the league scrutiny because we don't
8:38
Speaker 3: realistically think the Steelers are going to challenge to win
8:42
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl. Right, So if we had those sky
8:47
Speaker 3: high expectations and he's underperforming or living up to them, like,
8:52
Speaker 3: he's going to be scrutinized and talk about, like talked
8:55
Speaker 3: about like crazy. But because we don't really think that,
8:59
Speaker 3: I think that's gonna you lower the scrutiny just a
9:02
Speaker 3: little bit. But he's still gonna be one of those
9:05
Speaker 3: guys that were fixated on. And I would also say
9:08
Speaker 3: another honorable mention. I would say Lamar Jackson. Now this
9:13
Speaker 3: is primarily because of the playoffs. I don't think he's
9:18
Speaker 3: a highly scrutinized player in the regular season because, look,
9:22
Speaker 3: Lamar produces. Lamar has been incredibly productive. He's a two
9:27
Speaker 3: time MVP. I think he should have been a three
9:29
Speaker 3: time MVP. I thought his season was that special last year,
9:33
Speaker 3: and so what's there to say? What's there to scrutinize
9:35
Speaker 3: with Lamar in the regular season. He's productive, he's a
9:39
Speaker 3: team guy, right, Like I love Lamar in the regular season.
9:43
Speaker 3: My only beef with Lamar is he wets himself time
9:46
Speaker 3: and time again in the playoffs. And so that's why
9:49
Speaker 3: I say he's honorable mention. There's not a whole lot
9:51
Speaker 3: of scrutiny in the regular season because he wins a ton,
9:55
Speaker 3: he's highly productive. What's there to pick on, but that
9:59
Speaker 3: debate rolls around the playoff skit here. So of these
10:02
Speaker 3: guys at least on my list, and hey, you're more
10:05
Speaker 3: than welcome to compare notes with me if you have
10:07
Speaker 3: anybody else that I didn't mention and you want to
10:09
Speaker 3: make the argument for the most scrutinized guy, feel free.
10:13
Speaker 3: So of these guys that I have, whittle it down
10:17
Speaker 3: to five guys most scrutinized short list, So I would
10:21
Speaker 3: have Caleb Williams, Dak Prescott, brock Perdy, Justin Herbert, and
10:26
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence. Of those guys, who's the most scrutinized guy,
10:31
Speaker 3: you know who it is right now? It is Caleb Williams.
10:35
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams is the most scrutinized NFL quarterback right now. Again,
10:42
Speaker 3: we're breaking down a video of him throwing footballs into
10:47
Speaker 3: a net as if that matters at all. There's a
10:50
Speaker 3: follow up video where he's just he's making each throw
10:55
Speaker 3: just money into the same net, right on the money,
10:58
Speaker 3: right on the money, right on the money. Perfect. No
11:02
Speaker 3: one cares. It's all about the one video where he
11:04
Speaker 3: missed a few and then he was upset about it.
11:07
Speaker 3: It's insane, right Like it goes back to his college
11:10
Speaker 3: days where he cried in his mother's arms after they
11:13
Speaker 3: walked lost to I think it was Washington. It was
11:16
Speaker 3: this emotional back and forth game. You know they're not
11:19
Speaker 3: gonna make it to the National Championship Games, emotional moment
11:23
Speaker 3: he cried, big deal, guy cares and he paints his
11:26
Speaker 3: fingernails as if that matters at all. This is insane
11:30
Speaker 3: to me. This is like Andy Dalton territory. You're gonna
11:34
Speaker 3: be like, what what does that mean? So when Andy
11:36
Speaker 3: Dalton was coming out of TCU, I didn't realize this
11:40
Speaker 3: was a thing. There are people who will throw it
11:44
Speaker 3: out there where they're like, well, you know, we haven't
11:45
Speaker 3: had a whole lot of ginger quarterbacks that have had
11:48
Speaker 3: success in this league, right, Like Andy Dalton has red hair,
11:52
Speaker 3: and so people are like, whoa I you know, I
11:55
Speaker 3: can't buy Andy Dalton because of the red that to
12:01
Speaker 3: me is in a similar category as Caleb Williams painting
12:04
Speaker 3: his fingernails. I don't think it matters at all, but
12:09
Speaker 3: there are many people who do. And that's the thing
12:12
Speaker 3: that is the ultimate sign of being overly scrutinized, when
12:18
Speaker 3: people point to that as if it matters, as if
12:21
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, yeah, I told you this guy's not
12:24
Speaker 3: gonna live up to being a number one overall draft pick.
12:27
Speaker 3: I mean, he cried in his mother's arms, he paints
12:29
Speaker 3: his fingernails. Look at this throwing the ball into the
12:32
Speaker 3: net video. See there you go. Three things. No, that's
12:35
Speaker 3: just being overly scrutinized. And when he was such a
12:39
Speaker 3: lightning rod for opinions right like he was polarizing. Everybody
12:43
Speaker 3: had an opinion on Caleb Williams at USC and that's
12:46
Speaker 3: just trickled into Caleb Williams in the NFL. And I
12:50
Speaker 3: think that some of this is his fault. This is
12:52
Speaker 3: a story that went was a couple of months ago
12:55
Speaker 3: right where seth Wickersham. He's got a book coming out
12:59
Speaker 3: here soon talking about quarterbacks. He had some juicy details
13:05
Speaker 3: in the book. There was some excerpts that were released
13:08
Speaker 3: that we're talking about Caleb Williams didn't initially want to
13:10
Speaker 3: be drafted by the Bears, And it was Caleb and
13:14
Speaker 3: his inner circle, Caleb's dad. They're just giving quotes to
13:16
Speaker 3: Seth Wickersham like yeah, didn't really want to go there,
13:20
Speaker 3: and it's like, what what are you guys doing? Why
13:23
Speaker 3: would you say this? This is something you say years
13:27
Speaker 3: down the road after a lot of success in the NFL,
13:32
Speaker 3: either your team wins a ton of games, you produce,
13:34
Speaker 3: you put up all these numbers, a lot of success,
13:37
Speaker 3: and then it's like, oh, yeah, by the way, initially
13:40
Speaker 3: I didn't even want to be drafted by the Bears.
13:42
Speaker 3: And it's just like a fun fact at that point,
13:44
Speaker 3: like really, no kidding, you didn't want to go there,
13:47
Speaker 3: not after a rookie year where you struggle. That's a
13:50
Speaker 3: terrible idea. So I think that he's done himself a
13:55
Speaker 3: disservice by being a little bit too lippy, because some
13:58
Speaker 3: people do that, they oversh you know, we're in the
14:01
Speaker 3: day of day and age of Hey, I just ate
14:03
Speaker 3: a ham sandwich for lunch and we're like cool, no
14:08
Speaker 3: one cares. It's over sharing. That was Caleb Williams over
14:11
Speaker 3: sharing moment right there, So sometimes he adds to the
14:16
Speaker 3: scrutiny that's already sky high. I do I think he's
14:19
Speaker 3: the most scrutinized NFL quarterback right now. I think it's
14:22
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams. Here's the question I would ask, what other
14:27
Speaker 3: quarterback has been scrutinized as heavily for something as dumb
14:33
Speaker 3: as Caleb Williams. What quarterback has been scrutinized as much
14:38
Speaker 3: for Caleb Williams missing a couple of throws into a
14:41
Speaker 3: net and then being upset about it. Who's the guy?
14:45
Speaker 3: It doesn't exist, right, He's not there in the NFL.
14:47
Speaker 3: We aren't picking on another quarterback quite as much. I
14:51
Speaker 3: is the most scrutinized guy. That'd be my argument for
14:54
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams. If you disagree, if you've got somebody else
14:58
Speaker 3: to add to the list, or you think somebody else
15:00
Speaker 3: is the most scrutinized NFL quarterback, I'm all ears definitely
15:03
Speaker 3: want to hear it. Feel free to check in Militia

Speaker 3: we had another one in the w NBA on Tuesday.
17:13
Speaker 3: There's another sex toy thrown on the court. Oh stop, yes,
17:19
Speaker 3: another one, Lorena. I was actually watching this game. I
17:22
Speaker 3: saw it live. I wasn't even betting it. I think
17:25
Speaker 3: I have issues watching WNBA games that I'm not betting on.
17:28
Speaker 7: Now.
17:29
Speaker 3: I love watching this league. I love basketball.
17:31
Speaker 8: Well, now people are betting on the dildos, aren't they
17:33
Speaker 8: There are? On how many? What color?
17:35
Speaker 3: The texture?
17:37
Speaker 6: Oh?
17:37
Speaker 3: I didn't know you could bet on texture.
17:39
Speaker 8: I mean, if they aren't, they should.
17:41
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, but you're right, there were odds. I'm trying
17:45
Speaker 3: to find what the odds were of it being neon green.
17:50
Speaker 3: But uh, yeah, you could bet on the color of
17:52
Speaker 3: the next sex toy that was going to be thrown
17:54
Speaker 3: on the court of a WNBA game. Crazy. I think
17:59
Speaker 3: it's the sign of the apocalypse, you know, But yeah,
18:02
Speaker 3: neon green one, the neon green was the uh was
18:08
Speaker 3: the choice right there? Or the winning uh the winning color.
18:13
Speaker 3: I cannot find I'll try to find it. I cannot
18:15
Speaker 3: find what the betting odds initially were. But yeah, so
18:19
Speaker 3: this time it hit Sophie Cunningham.
18:22
Speaker 8: Oh no, where did it hit her at?
18:24
Speaker 3: I'm not sure, but there was a free throw attempt
18:28
Speaker 3: and that's when Sophie Cunningham got hit with the sex toy.
18:33
Speaker 3: And then immediately Kelsey Plumb of the Sparks just kicked
18:36
Speaker 3: it out of bounds. It was on the court. She
18:38
Speaker 3: kicked it out of bounds real fast, just like nothing
18:40
Speaker 3: to see here, and Sophie Cunningham was laughing. She was laughing.
18:44
Speaker 3: What I thought was kind of it was kind of cool.
18:46
Speaker 3: Where That's what I really come out on this is Listen,
18:51
Speaker 3: I think that you, I think that you run the
18:54
Speaker 3: risk of losing your point when you overstate things, you
19:00
Speaker 3: know what I mean. So, like with this, it's certainly
19:03
Speaker 3: dangerous to throw a sex toy on the court. You
19:07
Speaker 3: could hit a player. It literally hit Sophie Cunningham, could
19:11
Speaker 3: hit her in the eyeball. It really could have messed
19:13
Speaker 3: her up. So it is dangerous. But man, I'll hear
19:17
Speaker 3: these people, yeah, well it could cause damage, right, it could.
19:23
Speaker 3: But when I hear these people just hammer this point
19:27
Speaker 3: home where it's like the utter disrespect for these athletes
19:32
Speaker 3: and they could be seriously injured, and I'm just like,
19:36
Speaker 3: you're kind of losing me. Man, You're just kind of
19:38
Speaker 3: losing me because you're emphasizing something that doesn't really need
19:43
Speaker 3: to be emphasized as much as you're doing it. You
19:46
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. I really think that you can
19:48
Speaker 3: lose value in your point where you're just overstating things.
19:53
Speaker 3: And that's what I've gotten, Like it's the third time
19:55
Speaker 3: it's happened, some of the WNBA players have overstated things.
20:00
Speaker 3: I gotta find One of the tweets recently from a
20:03
Speaker 3: w NBA player. This was I think it was after
20:07
Speaker 3: the second time it happened where a sex toy was
20:09
Speaker 3: thrown onto the court and a w NBA player was
20:13
Speaker 3: like security, Hello, where are you? What are you doing?
20:17
Speaker 8: It's just like now, you actually watch women's basketball, right,
20:21
Speaker 8: I do you don't find it at all like offensive
20:24
Speaker 8: or like they're making a mockery of women's sports.
20:27
Speaker 3: I mean you could look at it that way.
20:29
Speaker 8: Surely when it's so they've done this in the NFL,
20:38
Speaker 8: think about the message it's sending, like f you, right.
20:44
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people twist it into something
20:46
Speaker 3: like that this has happened in the NFL.
20:48
Speaker 6: Well, I can I can promise you. I can promise
20:51
Speaker 6: you that it's not going to happen too many more
20:52
Speaker 6: times after this.
20:54
Speaker 4: Well, they arrested exactly, That's what I'm saying. And then
20:57
Speaker 4: this one.
20:58
Speaker 6: I mean, you know they probably hit the right the
21:01
Speaker 6: right player with it, Sophie Cunningham, because she's laughing about it.
21:05
Speaker 6: But I mean I would assume that if they figure
21:08
Speaker 6: out who threw this one, that she could press charges
21:12
Speaker 6: since it hit her.
21:13
Speaker 4: I don't think she would. She would, and I think
21:15
Speaker 4: that's sexual assault.
21:16
Speaker 8: Getting hit by a sex toy, right, Like.
21:18
Speaker 6: I'm sure, I'm sure it could be considered that way.
21:20
Speaker 6: And the point is, if they figure out who's gonna
21:23
Speaker 6: who threw this one, which I imagine they can because they
21:27
Speaker 6: figured out who threw the first one, right, it's gonna
21:29
Speaker 6: be an even harsher punishment. And then and then now,
21:33
Speaker 6: if you want to continue the joke, you're gonna be
21:36
Speaker 6: risking some you know, some serious consequences.
21:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, the w n b A they put out a statement.
21:42
Speaker 3: This was after the second one. The second one was thrown.
21:48
Speaker 3: I'm just laughing because DJ Khaled popped into my head
21:50
Speaker 3: with another one. That's the only reason why. But their
21:53
Speaker 3: statement in part read objects there you go, There you go.
21:57
Speaker 3: Thank you, Loraine. I appreciate that objects of any hind
22:00
Speaker 3: thrown onto the court or in the seating area can
22:04
Speaker 3: pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans.
22:07
Speaker 3: Any fan who intentionally throws an object onto the court
22:11
Speaker 3: will be immediately ejected and face a minimum one year ban,
22:14
Speaker 3: in addition to being subject to arrest and prosecution by
22:18
Speaker 3: local authorities. That was part of the official statement by
22:22
Speaker 3: the WNBA. It's didn't doab anyone from throwing the third
22:26
Speaker 3: sex toy on the court on Tuesday night during that
22:29
Speaker 3: Fever Sparks game. But yeah, hit. This is what's different
22:33
Speaker 3: about it. It hits Sophie Cunningham. The other two times
22:36
Speaker 3: it didn't hit anyone, just landed on the court, but
22:39
Speaker 3: this time hitting a player. Yeah, we'll see. They didn't
22:42
Speaker 3: find out who threw the first sex toy. They they
22:45
Speaker 3: didn't figure that one out.
22:48
Speaker 4: The arrest was the second one.
22:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was the second one. Yeah, yep, yeah,
22:52
Speaker 3: it happened on Friday night.
22:54
Speaker 9: Uh.
22:54
Speaker 3: The first two times it was a Golden State Valkyries
22:57
Speaker 3: game each time. This time it's a Valkyries game. So
23:02
Speaker 3: it's just I thought it was maybe a Valkyries type thing. No,
23:05
Speaker 3: it's just a WNBA thing right now.
23:07
Speaker 8: Question, Yeah, where would you hide a dildo to get
23:11
Speaker 8: it into an arena? Would you tape it to your
23:14
Speaker 8: leg underneath your pants? Would you put it in your sweater?
23:17
Speaker 8: I think the bag is too obvious. You can't put
23:19
Speaker 8: it in a bag.
23:20
Speaker 3: No, you can't do that, obviously.
23:22
Speaker 4: The tape to the leg is the only option. If
23:25
Speaker 4: you're a man.
23:26
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, well, I mean technically, that's a really
23:35
Speaker 7: good idea.
23:37
Speaker 3: Well you have to you'd have to do that, and
23:39
Speaker 3: that's the legs.
23:40
Speaker 4: Instead of three.
23:41
Speaker 3: Right, well that's the thing though, This was I found
23:44
Speaker 3: the tweet. This is from Liberty forward Isabelle Harrison. So
23:48
Speaker 3: this is after the second sex toy was thrown on
23:50
Speaker 3: the court on Friday night. Right, this was a Valkyri's
23:54
Speaker 3: Chicago Sky game, and so afterward a Liberty player, right, like,
23:59
Speaker 3: not involved in this game, but just saw this happen
24:02
Speaker 3: and went to X and tweeted and caps Arena security hello,
24:08
Speaker 3: and went on to write, please do better. It's not funny,
24:10
Speaker 3: never was funny. Throwing anything on the court is so
24:14
Speaker 3: dangerous now, She's right, But the thing is looking at
24:18
Speaker 3: arena security like, yo, do your job. It's like, let's
24:22
Speaker 3: walk through that. What do you want security to actually do?
24:28
Speaker 3: Unless you are literally frisking people. This isn't gonna be
24:32
Speaker 3: like a metal detector.
24:34
Speaker 8: This is a like a sex toy, rubber sex to off.
24:39
Speaker 3: Not gonna be detected by So you're frisking people like
24:42
Speaker 3: literally people would lose their minds if that was happening.
24:46
Speaker 3: First off, And so unless you're able to find the
24:49
Speaker 3: sex toy, that's trying to be smuggled into the game.
24:53
Speaker 3: If it gets thrown from the crowd, it's getting onto
24:56
Speaker 3: the court. There's nothing security can do at that point.
25:00
Speaker 3: You're not gonna have security in jet packs court side
25:03
Speaker 3: ready to sky into the air to intercept any sex
25:06
Speaker 3: toy that's heading toward the court.
25:07
Speaker 4: Like the need an iron dome.
25:10
Speaker 3: That's like they need like the uh the baseball nets
25:14
Speaker 3: around the entire court to prevent sex toys from being there.
25:17
Speaker 3: There's nothing you can do at that point unless you
25:20
Speaker 3: catch them like smuggling it into the game. It's a
25:23
Speaker 3: done deal. It's a rap. It's gonna get onto the
25:25
Speaker 3: court if they throw it there. So I wouldn't look
25:28
Speaker 3: sideways at security this. I think it's the common thing
25:32
Speaker 3: to do. But if you stop and think about it,
25:34
Speaker 3: what are they supposed to do. The only thing they
25:37
Speaker 3: can really do is try to find someone sneaking it
25:41
Speaker 3: into the game, or if someone does throw it onto
25:44
Speaker 3: the court, once that person is found, get they get
25:48
Speaker 3: hammered with all sorts of punishments, you know what I mean.
25:50
Speaker 3: Where it's like, Okay, at this point, it's not even
25:52
Speaker 3: worth doing it. But right now it's just the trend.
25:56
Speaker 3: It's the stupid and I'm not downplaying it. It is dangerous,
25:59
Speaker 3: but it's like this, you know, rebellious, the you know, hey,
26:03
Speaker 3: check this out, man, bet On Neon Green. We're gonna
26:06
Speaker 3: make a fortune. It's just the stupid thing to do.
26:09
Speaker 3: And like this, I don't know that it's the sexist degrading.
26:14
Speaker 3: This has happened in the NFL before.
26:16
Speaker 8: It happened in a Patriots pocket toys out on the field.
26:20
Speaker 3: They called it the buildo. Right, it was during a
26:23
Speaker 3: Bills game, so we switched it to a buildo was
26:26
Speaker 3: thrown onto the field, right, And I know they're wearing
26:29
Speaker 3: shoulder pads and helmets and it's not I think it would.
26:32
Speaker 8: Be different if football was a mockery sport. But people
26:35
Speaker 8: are still making fun of women's sports. So that's where
26:38
Speaker 8: I'm like, that's where the mockery side of it comes in.
26:40
Speaker 8: Football is real football, you know what I'm saying. People
26:43
Speaker 8: respect it as real football, So even if you throw
26:45
Speaker 8: a toy, it's not seen like that.
26:48
Speaker 4: I think that's where I'm coming from.
26:49
Speaker 3: I completely disagree with you. I don't think and there's
26:53
Speaker 3: no way to know this. This is my guest. These
26:56
Speaker 3: yahoos and they're yahoos that are throwing sex toys under
27:00
Speaker 3: the court of Wnba Games. I really doubt Lorena that
27:04
Speaker 3: someone is in the crowd and it's like, this is
27:07
Speaker 3: my chance to make a mockery of this female sport.
27:13
Speaker 3: And and these these women, you know what I mean.
27:15
Speaker 3: I don't think they're doing it for that purpose. I
27:18
Speaker 3: think they're just like, hey, you check it out. Man,
27:21
Speaker 3: I get it.
27:21
Speaker 8: Hear that Braid might not think that way, but there's
27:23
Speaker 8: some real dingises out there man, especially oh there are
27:26
Speaker 8: kind to make statements. And if you're not coming out
27:28
Speaker 8: and saying yeah, it was me, then yeah, yeah.
27:31
Speaker 3: I mean that's just my guess. I don't think this
27:33
Speaker 3: is I'm gonna degrade these women. And I really don't
27:37
Speaker 3: think that's it at all. I think it's just this dumb,
27:40
Speaker 3: sophomoric prank of like, you know, it's becoming like when
27:44
Speaker 3: they're posting, yeah, they're posting odds of the color of
27:49
Speaker 3: the next sex toy, so it's become this trendy, stupid thing.
27:54
Speaker 3: I really think that's all it is. I don't think it's,
27:58
Speaker 3: you know, we're gonna make a mockery of women sports.
28:00
Speaker 3: I just don't think that. I don't think that's the case,
28:03
Speaker 3: but hey, there's no way to prove it. It's just
28:05
Speaker 3: my opinion. I think you're saying that's what it is, though, Lorena, Right,
28:09
Speaker 3: you think that's what it is.
28:10
Speaker 8: I think that definitely has something to play into it,
28:12
Speaker 8: for sure.
28:13
Speaker 3: HM, and reasonable minds can disagree. I just don't think so.
28:17
Speaker 3: But would it shock me if that's true. No, sadly
28:21
Speaker 3: it wouldn't. I just don't think that's what's going on.
28:23
Speaker 3: But in any event, we have our third sex toy
28:27
Speaker 3: being thrown onto the court.
28:28
Speaker 8: I think we should make a game of it, like
28:30
Speaker 8: bottle toss, you know, where you try to get it
28:31
Speaker 8: to land up right, Mike, we do like a segment
28:34
Speaker 8: in the middle of the game, right, like dildo Mania,
28:37
Speaker 8: and everyone bring in a little dildo and in the
28:39
Speaker 8: middle we just throw it and if the ones that
28:41
Speaker 8: stand up straight, you get like free season passes or something.
28:45
Speaker 3: By the way, this is a stupid story that, but
28:47
Speaker 3: it made me think of it what you said. Right there, Lorena.
28:49
Speaker 3: We are on our way to a Megadeth concert in
28:53
Speaker 3: the late nineties, my first real concert that I went to,
28:56
Speaker 3: and we were driving in two cars and someone threw
28:59
Speaker 3: like a big gulp out the window. I don't know
29:02
Speaker 3: why we're young, someone stupid And I was in the
29:05
Speaker 3: car trailing right like the first Oh no, the big gulp.
29:09
Speaker 3: I don't know how fast we're going. We're going like
29:11
Speaker 3: sixty seventy miles per hour. The big gulp landed upright
29:16
Speaker 3: and just skid it on the road for I don't
29:19
Speaker 3: know it, just skidding upright.
29:21
Speaker 4: Talk about a trick shot.
29:22
Speaker 3: It was insanity. But I don't know that you could
29:25
Speaker 3: do that with a you know, with one of the
29:29
Speaker 3: dildos flying from the rafters at the next WNBA game.
29:32
Speaker 3: I would be quite impressed if that's the case. I
29:35
Speaker 3: don't think you can pull that one off. That's uh.
29:37
Speaker 3: And I think I'll say my last comment on this
29:40
Speaker 3: for now at least is it's hard to find the
29:44
Speaker 3: middle ground, I think, because on one side it is dangerous.
29:48
Speaker 3: I don't want to see any player official, anyone get
29:51
Speaker 3: hurt by some stupid prank. You know, it's it's dumb.
29:54
Speaker 3: I don't want to see that. But at the same time,
29:57
Speaker 3: you can't help, but you know, like tap into it
30:01
Speaker 3: a little bit. We're like, hey, what's the color of
30:03
Speaker 3: the next one is the next one gonna land up?
30:05
Speaker 2: Right? You know what I mean?
30:05
Speaker 3: It's really hard to toe the lineup. This is dangerous.
30:09
Speaker 3: But hey, what if this or that happens. It's just
30:11
Speaker 3: a weird thing that's going on right now in the WNBA.
30:15
Speaker 3: In any event, let me get to the phones here.
30:17
Speaker 3: We're talking quarterbacks to start the show. Is he there still?
30:21
Speaker 2: Coop?
30:23
Speaker 9: Oh?
30:23
Speaker 3: Andrew just left. He was there to talk quarterbacks, and
30:26
Speaker 3: he was like, this is sex toy. This is a
30:28
Speaker 3: sex toy segment. I'm not going to get in with quarterbacks.
30:31
Speaker 3: Probably what he thought. Little did he know. We can
30:35
Speaker 3: bring it right back to football at any time. My
30:38
Speaker 3: guy Andre is in Massachusetts. I think that's the right
30:42
Speaker 3: way to say it. I don't know if he yelled
30:44
Speaker 3: at me last time, if I said it wrong Andre.
30:46
Speaker 3: In any event, what's going on, Bud?
30:49
Speaker 9: Hey doing? Thanks for taking a call. Just wanted to
30:51
Speaker 9: chime in in terms of the speculation and some of
30:56
Speaker 9: the dare I say criticisms related to Caleb Williams. You know,
30:59
Speaker 9: he hasn't shown competence, hasn't shown the aptitude because he
31:03
Speaker 9: missed a couple of throws in training camp. Well, first
31:07
Speaker 9: of all, This was the unanimous number one overall pick
31:10
Speaker 9: just a year ago coming out of USC playing, you know,
31:13
Speaker 9: in that system, with all the highlights and all the potential.
31:17
Speaker 9: Now he is, how do we say, someone that walks
31:20
Speaker 9: to the beat of his own drum right in terms
31:23
Speaker 9: of his styles, in terms of his painted fingernails and
31:26
Speaker 9: all the other stuff, so that he's eccentric to a
31:28
Speaker 9: certain extent. But in terms of core talent, frankly, who
31:31
Speaker 9: stares if you missed a couple of throws in the preseason.
31:34
Speaker 9: He has the skill set. It's just a matter of
31:37
Speaker 9: if he puts it together with this head coach that
31:39
Speaker 9: he has. So you're talking about other players who have
31:42
Speaker 9: kind of have the core talent but have faced, you know,
31:45
Speaker 9: this level of criticism for me. I think about some
31:47
Speaker 9: of the players in his own draft class, Jade Daniels,
31:49
Speaker 9: who frankly usurped him. I think there's a lot of
31:51
Speaker 9: pressure on him. People are saying that he's the top
31:53
Speaker 9: ten quarterback in the league. That's kind of raised some
31:56
Speaker 9: obum eyebrows. Has he really earned that? So for him
31:58
Speaker 9: to continue to take a step forward in year two,
32:00
Speaker 9: Drake may here in the Commonwealth, I think he needs
32:03
Speaker 9: to show well this year with Mike Brabel and a
32:06
Speaker 9: coach that can establish the system so the Patriots and
32:08
Speaker 9: start trending in the right direction. So I think that
32:10
Speaker 9: the younger quarterback there is, Caleb Williams, is certainly getting
32:13
Speaker 9: the line share of the criticism, if you will, But
32:17
Speaker 9: I think his draft last there is pressure for all
32:21
Speaker 9: three of them to either step forward. That's Drake may
32:24
Speaker 9: to continue their progress. I think that's Jade Daniels and
32:26
Speaker 9: for Caleb Williams, if he has another bad year with
32:29
Speaker 9: this new coach, this new system, all these weapons, then
32:32
Speaker 9: I would accept some of these criticisms. But a couple
32:34
Speaker 9: throws in the in the preseason, I think that's a
32:37
Speaker 9: bit overstated for him. I think we need to wait
32:40
Speaker 9: for the regular season where their games count, and to
32:43
Speaker 9: see if he can see if he can show well.
32:45
Speaker 9: I think that's my view on that.
32:46
Speaker 3: Thanks taking Nicole, Yeah you got it, Andre, Thank you, man.
32:50
Speaker 3: I agree with the decent amount of that. I just think, look, man,
32:54
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels was unbelievable last season. He was awesome, And
33:00
Speaker 3: I will say there's a little a little bit of scrutiny.
33:04
Speaker 3: I hear this quite a bit of hey, c J.
33:07
Speaker 3: Stroud took a big step back his second season, maybe
33:10
Speaker 3: we see the same thing with Jayden Daniels. Right, It's
33:12
Speaker 3: almost like, you know, predicting upcoming scrutiny, that type of thing.
33:17
Speaker 3: If that does happen, then oh man, we're going to
33:20
Speaker 3: jump all over him, that type of thing. But he
33:23
Speaker 3: wasn't scrutinized at all because he was awesome last season.
33:26
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels was unbelievable as rookie season. And I don't
33:30
Speaker 3: buy this idea of, oh, he's going to take a
33:33
Speaker 3: step back because CJ. Stroud did. They're totally different players,
33:36
Speaker 3: completely different styles. Jayden Daniels rushed for almost nine hundred
33:40
Speaker 3: yards last season. They have different supporting casts. I just
33:44
Speaker 3: I don't think just because c J. Stroud took a
33:46
Speaker 3: step back his second year, Jayden Daniels is going to
33:49
Speaker 3: do the same thing. I don't buy that at all.
33:53
Speaker 3: But I think the draft class is interesting. It just
33:55
Speaker 3: shows you how much more Caleb Williams is scrutinized than
34:00
Speaker 3: those other guys. Jaydeon Daniels really not scrutinized at least
34:05
Speaker 3: his rookie season. Drake May he didn't face any crazy scrutiny.
34:10
Speaker 3: We're not breaking down his training camp videos or if
34:13
Speaker 3: he missed a throw or a practice net or you
34:16
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like, we're not doing that with
34:18
Speaker 3: Drake May. We're doing that with Caleb Williams. Because Caleb
34:22
Speaker 3: Williams was a big deal in college. Everybody has an
34:25
Speaker 3: opinion on the guy and it just hasn't slowed down.
34:28
Speaker 3: And so I think that he's not only the most
34:30
Speaker 3: scrutinized quarterback in his draft class, I think is the
34:33
Speaker 3: most scrutinized quarterback in the NFL right now. I don't
34:35
Speaker 3: think there's another guy that scrutinized more heavily than Caleb Williams.
34:40
Speaker 3: We've got Andre Andrew he checked back here. We appreciate that.
34:44
Speaker 3: What's going on, Andrew?
34:45
Speaker 2: Hey?
34:46
Speaker 10: What's up? Brian Hey, Bud Hey. First of all, I
34:50
Speaker 10: wanted to say rookie Betts did great tonight. That's for Bend.
34:55
Speaker 10: And then I have two quarterbacks, maybe Anton Richardson and maybe.
35:04
Speaker 3: Fields uh yeah, more scrutinized. Well, I mean both are terrible.
35:11
Speaker 3: That's one thing. Like there's Anthony Richardson is freaking brutal,
35:16
Speaker 3: and uh justin field isn't much better, So I think
35:20
Speaker 3: they've earned the scrutiny. But I'll just say this, this
35:22
Speaker 3: is the way I would break it down, Andrew. If
35:26
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams struggled on the same level as either of
35:30
Speaker 3: those guys, he would be way more scrutinized than Justin
35:35
Speaker 3: Fields and Anthony Richardson are that That's how I see it, right,
35:39
Speaker 3: and so that's why I still think he's He's more
35:41
Speaker 3: scrutinized than both of those dudes.
35:43
Speaker 10: Yeah, because of the expectation.
35:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of it is that number one overall
35:48
Speaker 3: pick expectations, all that stuff. But yeah, thank you, there
35:52
Speaker 3: he is, Andrew. Good stuff, nice all right, Militia. Good
35:56

Speaker 3: it here. Yeah, Oreo was awesome, visited a little bit earlier,
37:28
Speaker 3: you know, got some wet food, and then took off
37:32
Speaker 3: and left. She might be back, might be back. I'll
37:35
Speaker 3: check in a couple of minutes. A couple of tweets here,
37:38
Speaker 3: I thought we're entertaining. So Robbie the Mariner fan, I'm
37:44
Speaker 3: guessing not a huge fan of the sex toy breakdown
37:47
Speaker 3: in the WNBA. I love this topic. I think it's great.
37:50
Speaker 3: But Robbie the Mariner fan put if only Ben knew
37:53
Speaker 3: what was happening on his show right now. A couple
37:57
Speaker 3: other tweets on this whole thing, Big Grand in Iowa,
38:00
Speaker 3: I think Sophie was kind of targeted. Totally disagree, completely disagree.
38:06
Speaker 3: If you can throw a sex toy, I don't know
38:10
Speaker 3: how far back that that person was sitting and like
38:14
Speaker 3: pinpoint Sophie Cunningham during a free throw while she's like
38:18
Speaker 3: shoulder to shoulder with other players. You could like pinpoint
38:21
Speaker 3: and be like all right, all right, locked in, got
38:24
Speaker 3: her like red laser beam going no way, no chance
38:29
Speaker 3: can you. You're just aiming for the court and where
38:32
Speaker 3: it lands, it lands. This idea that Sophie was targeted,
38:35
Speaker 3: I do not buy that at all. Dan checked in
38:38
Speaker 3: and uh just simply put WNBA dildo throwers gone wild.
38:43
Speaker 3: Sure Mallard prop He checked in and wrote regarding the
38:48
Speaker 3: objects thrown onto WNBA courts lately, if the league began
38:53
Speaker 3: frisking all game attendees, what are the Ben Maller odds
38:57
Speaker 3: that attendants at those games by members of the Mallard
39:00
Speaker 3: militia would actually significantly increase. It's a legitimate question, right
39:05
Speaker 3: there might absolutely pay off for them with the militia
39:09
Speaker 3: attending more games. I like this from barbecuing len NERF
39:13
Speaker 3: Dill dos safe and fun for everyone. That was a
39:17
Speaker 3: good one, and Benito wrote he checked in talk about
39:21
Speaker 3: how Jerry Jones is a joke owner. So okay, it's
39:24
Speaker 3: an assistant program director checking in, no problem. Appreciate that.
39:27
Speaker 3: I'll get to that here momentarily with Jerry Jones and
39:31
Speaker 3: his foolishness continuing and all that type of stuff. But yeah,
39:36
Speaker 3: it's funny, right, Like, here's the thing. If you just
39:41
Speaker 3: look at the ratings and sports Okay, you look at
39:46
Speaker 3: the NFL is crushing the ratings, and what do you see?
39:49
Speaker 3: What do you hear? A lot of NFL coverage. That's
39:53
Speaker 3: the way it goes, right And in sports radio, Like
39:58
Speaker 3: what I just I threw out NFL quarterbacks, Okay, who's
40:02
Speaker 3: the most scrutinized. It's hardly any interaction, a little bit,
40:07
Speaker 3: hardly any. Then I throw out the WNBA sex toy thing.
40:11
Speaker 3: Lots of interaction. So so what do you think is
40:14
Speaker 3: gonna be focused on a little bit more right here.
40:18
Speaker 3: We're here to have a conversation and it's just an
40:22
Speaker 3: off the wall story. Man, It's completely off the wall,
40:25
Speaker 3: and people have opinions about it, and so I don't
40:28
Speaker 3: think you know it's funny. I'll say this real quickly.
40:31
Speaker 3: We get to this month of the sports calendar, and
40:35
Speaker 3: without fail, almost anything that you mentioned someone will be
40:38
Speaker 3: like slow news day, huh not really like not really
