1. NBA Update: Bobby Portis’ 25-Game Suspension for Tramadol

Timestamp: [03:47] – [09:21]

The show kicks off with a significant update on NBA player Bobby Portis, who has been suspended for 25 games after testing positive for "traumatol," a mispronunciation of the pain medication tramadol.

Discussion Highlights:

• Misunderstanding of Medication:

  • LaVar Arrington raises questions about the nature of Portis’ suspension, initially conflating tramadol with performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs).
    • Arrington: "He got suspended for... It's a type of steroid." [05:08]
  • Brady Quinn clarifies the confusion, emphasizing that tramadol is a painkiller, not a PED.
    • Quinn: "There's a difference between narcotics and performance enhancing drugs." [07:13]

• Nature of the Violation:

  • It was revealed that Portis unintentionally took tramadol, believing it was toradol, provided by his assistant.
    • Arrington: "He's got a legitimate gripe there." [05:37]
  • The hosts discuss the implications of such a mistake, highlighting the responsibilities athletes have regarding their medication intake.
    • Quinn: "You shouldn't necessarily always put it on them. You're responsible for what you put in your body." [06:29]

• Impact on Portis and NBA Policies:

  • The suspension sparks a debate on NBA’s drug policies and the distinction between PEDs and narcotics.
    • Arrington: "I think this is a wonderful thing for the NBA." [07:57]
    • Quinn: "Steroids and narcotics are not the same thing." [07:31]

• Conclusion:

  • The co-hosts agree that while Portis’ mistake is regrettable, it underscores the importance of athletes being vigilant about their medication.
    • Quinn: "Most of them haven't tested positive for a long time, so this explanation makes sense." [06:11]

2. NFL Update: Matthew Stafford’s Potential Trade from LA Rams

Timestamp: [14:29] – [22:03]

A substantial portion of the episode delves into the speculation surrounding Matthew Stafford’s future with the Los Angeles Rams. The discussion centers on whether the Rams should retain Stafford or consider trading him, analyzing the financial and strategic implications.

Discussion Highlights:

• Trade Speculation and Financial Considerations:

  • LaVar Arrington cites reports that multiple NFL teams have expressed interest in Stafford, with a first-round pick likely being the Rams' asking price.
    • Arrington: "Matthew Stafford’s preference would be to stay in LA... He carries a $49 million cap hit if he's released." [16:46]
  • Brady Quinn compares Stafford’s situation to other veterans like Tom Brady and Drew Brees, discussing the challenges of securing high-value contracts towards the end of a player’s career.
    • Quinn: "That's why if you're any one of these quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers, Matt Stafford... there's a component of this that is financial." [17:30]

• Market Dynamics and Team Strategy:

  • The hosts debate whether the Rams can afford to keep Stafford given his cap hit and whether acquiring a veteran quarterback like Aaron Rodgers would make strategic sense.
    • Quinn: "There's nothing out there waiting for them that they're going to make that much money." [17:00]
    • Arrington: "Patrick Mahomes senior is supposedly going to be paid $85,000 in base pay to fight John Rocker. Is that enough?" [51:34]

• Replacement and Team Performance:

  • Concerns are raised about the Rams’ ability to replace Stafford if they decide to let him go, citing the lack of comparable talent currently available.
    • Arrington: "You don’t have a replacement for him." [20:46]
    • Quinn: "Darnold could be one. He literally just came from that same system in Minnesota." [21:07]

• Potential Outcomes and Recommendations:

  • The co-hosts discuss the possibility of extending Stafford's contract short-term versus trading him, weighing the benefits of stability against financial flexibility.
    • Quinn: "There's a huge need for teams... why not spend the money then on a veteran guy like that." [18:07]
    • Arrington: "He was willing to play for less with the Jets... why wouldn’t the Rams hold on to him if he's that valuable out there?" [21:28]

3. NFL Draft Discussion: Shador Sanders’ Decision Not to Attend the Draft

Timestamp: [27:17] – [42:20]

The conversation shifts to the upcoming NFL Draft, focusing on Shador Sanders’ choice to abstain from attending, opting instead for a more personal and financially considerate approach.

• Implications for the NFL Draft:

  • The hosts analyze how Sanders’ decision reflects a broader trend among athletes prioritizing personal comfort and financial prudence over traditional draft experiences.

  • The discussion touches on how the NFL might need to adapt its draft processes to accommodate players' preferences.
    • Quinn: "The NFL brings me in... I said, look, if you guys aren't paying guys to be here... there's going to come a time when these guys can make more money staying at home." [29:36]

• Community and Branding:

  • Emphasis is placed on how athletes can use the draft as a platform to promote causes they are passionate about, rather than solely participating for exposure.
    • Edwards: "I would use this as a platform and the opportunity to shine light on something that I'm truly passionate about." [35:09]
    • Arrington: "They come out there... to bring that value." [39:42]

• Future of Draft Attendance:

  • The hosts speculate on potential changes to draft locations and formats, considering the evolving priorities of modern athletes.
    • Quinn: "But there's something about having the Pro Bowl in Hawaii that made it special." [36:22]
    • Arrington: "The draft has now turned into the consolation prize for a city that can't get a Super Bowl." [38:47]

They've since played one game that was the Lakers and the Hornets in which the Lakers lost. And Luka play terrible. But, but don't worry. Cause we do have more NBA news. Bobby Portis.

[Trevon Edwards]

Oh, no.

[LaVar Arrington]

Has pissed hot. He has tested positive for trauma doll.

[Trevon Edwards]

I've heard of trauma doll. Yeah, yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

Have you?

[Trevon Edwards]

I have heard of it for some strange reason that that word rings a bell.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah, he. He got suspended for.

[Trevon Edwards]

It's like a type of steroid.

[LaVar Arrington]

25 games he violated. Right?

[Trevon Edwards]

Not, not Tortol. Tramadol.

[Brady Quinn]

Tr. So what is that?

[Trevon Edwards]

Oh, which he thought he was taking toward all.

[T-Mobile Announcer]

That's right.

[Brady Quinn]

It sounds the same.

[Trevon Edwards]

Right? Trauma doll is very different from tortoise.

[LaVar Arrington]

Hold on a second. Lee, how do you know that? You talked to Bobby Portis?

[Trevon Edwards]

Mark.

[T-Mobile Announcer]

Mark Bartlestein of Priority Sports to ESPN on his client says they're devastated that he unintentionally took a pain medication called tramadol thinking he was taking a pain medication called Toradol given to him by his assistant. Honest mistake is what they're calling it.

[LaVar Arrington]

Ah, okay.

[Trevon Edwards]

I thought it was. Let me look it up.

[T-Mobile Announcer]

Similar. It was recently added to the banned list, but it's used for inflammation.

[LaVar Arrington]

Lee, you should do that. Next time when you get popped with like some Cuervo, just say, oh, this is tequila. I thought it was Tylenol, but my fault. Yeah, I, I didn't Know the difference? Yeah. No, nobody knows the difference between these two. I don't buy it for a second. He wanted to get on the gas. He figured nobody was looking because they were too focused on the fact that, you know, Brady and I are taking over the dunk contest and we've won it three straight years. And so he thought, you know what? I'll just. I'll gas up real quick.

[Trevon Edwards]

It is a painkiller. I've heard. I've used this before. I've used trauma do before.

[Brady Quinn]

Trauma, like as. Like a painkiller?

[Trevon Edwards]

I guess so. I. I thought. I thought it was. I heard it as a steroid, but I knew it rang a bell. Yeah, it's a painkiller.

[Brady Quinn]

Painkiller.

[Trevon Edwards]

Yeah, it is a painkiller.

[LaVar Arrington]

I'm showing that.

[Trevon Edwards]

I mean, listen, he's got a legitimate gripe there.

[LaVar Arrington]

Then if you ask, I'm showing it's a performance enhancing drug in time trial cycling and raises questions pertaining to its fair use and competition that according to the National Institutes of Health, the nih.

[Brady Quinn]

Can. Can I tell you guys when I kind of drew a red flag with this one? Yeah. When's the last time we've heard of a player popping positive for the anti drug policy for the NBA?

[Trevon Edwards]

It's been a while.

[Brady Quinn]

You know how hard it is for any of these guys based on the thresholds of test? I don't even think they test for weed anymore.

[Trevon Edwards]

They don't.

[Brady Quinn]

It's like it's. It's darn near impossible for any of them to test positive or something. And most of them haven't for a long time with. So this kind of makes sense. The explanation makes sense. I could see how he kind of gotten confused or, you know, didn't understand what exactly he's taking. I mean, oftentimes as a player, you're trusting what you're being given from the training staff or whoever's giving you that the doctor that they're aware of the fact you could test positive for something like you're. You're try.

[Trevon Edwards]

You.

[Brady Quinn]

You shouldn't necessarily always put it on them. You're responsible for what you put in your body. But especially if they're involved with the team in any capacity, which I assumed whoever gave it to them was that they would be aware of the fact that if you take it, you could test positive.

[LaVar Arrington]

I mean, I'll be honest with you. I like it.

[Trevon Edwards]

The.

[LaVar Arrington]

The all star game sucked. But now you've got guys that gamble on games and take PEDs. That's a league I can. I mean, that's a league.

[Trevon Edwards]

You're trying to make it a PE. It doesn't say anywhere.

[LaVar Arrington]

He got suspended 25 games because he took a shot of water.

[Brady Quinn]

Okay, There's a difference between narcotics and performance enhancing drugs.

[LaVar Arrington]

25 games. I mean, it feels like he did something wrong.

[Brady Quinn]

I'm not saying he didn't, but I think you're missing the point. Steroids and narcotics are not the same thing.

[LaVar Arrington]

I lump them together.

[Brady Quinn]

Clearly. Just because you want to make your piss hot joke funny.

[LaVar Arrington]

Just listen. I. I think this is a wonderful thing for the NBA.

[Trevon Edwards]

Why would you say it's a ped.

[LaVar Arrington]

You've got a little bit of personality in your sport. You know, not everybody's just mailing it in. Some guys are willing to go on the gas to try and get back in a game.

[Brady Quinn]

He's not on the gas, dude.

[LaVar Arrington]

And then it's.

[Trevon Edwards]

It's. It is used to relieve pain. It's a pain reliever. It's a. It's an opioid.

[Brady Quinn]

This is closer to him smoking crack.

[Trevon Edwards]

What governing body you. You just read. Said it.

[Brady Quinn]

Read it again.

[Trevon Edwards]

It's a p. It's a P.D. read that again. Jonas. What? Let me see if I can find it.

[LaVar Arrington]

Results from a study suggest that tramadol is a performance enhancing drug in time trial cycling and raises questions pertaining to its very use in competition.

[Trevon Edwards]

What's the source?

[LaVar Arrington]

What's the nih? The National Institutes of Health. Hey, look, I do what you got to do, man. Like, if he wants to, you know, take a lighter to the bottom of the spoon before a game, that's fine, too.

[Trevon Edwards]

Put it in a. Smoked it. All I'm saying is, I'm trying to understand how do you get 25 games for a painkiller unless you're using it like it's an opioid. Like you're. You're using it like it's cocaine, I would assume. Like how. How do you get to that? Where you say, yep, we tested you.

[LaVar Arrington]

You.

[Trevon Edwards]

You popped for this. It's a painkiller. Like I. News flash, people. If you are using a. Some type of a painkiller at some point in time during your career as a professional, I'd say you've been blessed.

[LaVar Arrington]

What do you think he's got it hidden under his headband?

[Trevon Edwards]

I don' but he's doing something that's horribly inappropriate with that trauma doll.

[LaVar Arrington]

Lee said that Bobby Portis also got nabbed for bucks. He got rob those Chilean scumbags from Chile who. Who were robbing people in the NBA.

[T-Mobile Announcer]

And NFL hit harder than anybody. He got about $3 million worth of jewelry and cash.

[Trevon Edwards]

Taken that trauma do everywhere, though.

[Brady Quinn]

Like, you know, the old Georgia quarterback, Carson Beck, he transferred to Miami. Him and his girl is dating one of the Cavender twins with one of the basketball players down there. They've got, like, two of their cars or maybe three of their. Like, three cars stolen. There's, like, a Lambo or Mercedes. There's some car, like, they all got jacked.

[Trevon Edwards]

Which one is he dating? You know, I. I don't know.

[Brady Quinn]

They look the same to me.

[Trevon Edwards]

They. They're a little different.

[Brady Quinn]

Okay.

[Trevon Edwards]

They're a little different. I was just curious.

[Brady Quinn]

I'm not sure. I just know that he's dating one of the Cavendish ones. What's. I'm not that up to the dating scene of a college athlete.

[Trevon Edwards]

There's a bigger difference in. A little difference in the twins is what I say.

[Brady Quinn]

What do you mean? As far as, like, athletic ability, something else.

[Trevon Edwards]

I'm just saying there's a bigger difference and a little difference in between them as twins. That's all. They do look just alike, though. In the face. Yeah, in the face. I mean, I'm just, you know, I'm just curious as to which. What?

[LaVar Arrington]

What?

[Trevon Edwards]

D. He came from Georgia, right? He left Georgia. So I'm assuming, you know what I'm assuming. But I could be wrong, you know?

[Brady Quinn]

Lee, are you up to date on the Carson Beck dating scenario? Is he dating which Cavender twin is he dating?

[T-Mobile Announcer]

N. That's not really in my wheelhouse. I'm not sure.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

Of all the things that you could actually Google search, this is one that you chose not to.

[T-Mobile Announcer]

That is correct.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

Okay.

[LaVar Arrington]

I mean, if you would have said the Williams sisters, he would have been.

[Trevon Edwards]

All over that Tang.

[LaVar Arrington]

Not. What's it.

[Brady Quinn]

I mean, guys, just to show you how hard Lee works on the show, Hannah Cavender is the one that he's dating.

[T-Mobile Announcer]

I was gonna say Hannah Cavender.

[Trevon Edwards]

I was gonna say Hannah.

[Brady Quinn]

In case you guys were wondering how hard Lee works, he couldn't even take five seconds to put in the Google machine.

[T-Mobile Announcer]

Well, I was looking up what was stolen from Bobby. I. I can't tell if it's this or a different athlete, but there is a pot leaf jewelry emblem. So I was wondering if, you know, maybe he got popped for that. That's why I was trying to figure.

[Brady Quinn]

Out he didn't get popped for the week.

[T-Mobile Announcer]

I know that, but I was doing a deep dive.

[Brady Quinn]

What?

[T-Mobile Announcer]

Well, we were trying to figure out before the drunk.

[Trevon Edwards]

Not.

[T-Mobile Announcer]

No.

[Trevon Edwards]

He might be. You know, you can't believe him. If he says no, you can't believe.

[LaVar Arrington]

This is why, to make it easier for everybody, I just called it ped. All right, I was trying to. But it's not easier for everybody, I think.

[Trevon Edwards]

Yeah, but you're misleading. It's not.

[Brady Quinn]

I mean, look, I get it. You're the four known expert on guys who test positive for PEDs, because you talk about this all the time with UFC, and you go off on your rants, your different tangents, but this is not that. So you. You can't throw that on Bobby Portis. Okay, Right.

[LaVar Arrington]

I just assume that when you get suspended for 25 games, it's not because you add too much Gatorade like that. That would be my assumption, but apparently I got that wrong. By the way, I did send you guys over a link to how you handle one of those Chilean burglars.

[Brady Quinn]

Yeah, what do you want me to do with that?

[LaVar Arrington]

Okay, well, I'm just pointing out here in Southern.

[Brady Quinn]

Can I describe for the listeners what you sent, please? You basically sent some dude who just got his face beat in by.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

Another guy who's, like, looks perfectly fine at his desk in his home.

[LaVar Arrington]

So in. In Agora Hills a couple years ago, one of these guys, because it's like a big ring like these, they had, like, this burglary ring that's going around getting all these athletes or whatever, they've come out to Southern California a bunch of times, and they went to Agora Hills and tried to get this guy for his stuff, and they didn't realize the guy used to fight when he was younger and just lit this dude's face on fire. And so this guy's mug shot looks like he fell off a building. So, you know, there's a. There's a way that you can handle that, or you can just wait till they post selfies of themselves, and then they get popped and, you know, then you find out who did what so. Well, Bobby Portis. Hey, we support you.

[Brady Quinn]

We lost Lavar.

[LaVar Arrington]

Big misunderstanding.

[Brady Quinn]

I don't see much of a difference, by the way. Lavar.

[Trevon Edwards]

Oh, I'm gonna find a different one for you. Always a difference. There's a difference, man.

[LaVar Arrington]

Mine didn't.

[Trevon Edwards]

It is definitely help you hold on the other day.

[Brady Quinn]

I know exactly where that's at, by the way.

[Trevon Edwards]

Do you? Yeah. Dang. Okay. Nice.

[LaVar Arrington]

Wow.

[Trevon Edwards]

Wow.

[LaVar Arrington]

All right, well, hey.

[Trevon Edwards]

Thanks for making things awkwardly.

[Brady Quinn]

So.

[LaVar Arrington]

We do.

[Brady Quinn]

Oh, that's not the sisters, though.

[Trevon Edwards]

Yes. That is. No, it's not okay. Hold on. Dude, you just hold on. Wow. I just sent a photo of one.

[Brady Quinn]

Of them with another chick.

[Trevon Edwards]

Oh, hold on. You'll see. Hold on.

[Brady Quinn]

I'm trying to tell you that's not.

[Trevon Edwards]

All right, but hold on. I just seen this the other day. I'm telling you, just hold on. Give me some time.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah. All right.

[Trevon Edwards]

Well, my Internet is slow.

[LaVar Arrington]

All right, so while we're fixing the Internet issues so we can get to the bottom of which twin is which, we do have an update on the Matthew Stafford situation. Some people call him Matt if you want to piss off his wife, but Matthew Stafford. According to Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports, while uncertainty remains around Stafford's future with the team, league sources are adamant that coach Sean McVeigh and the organization want to keep the super bowl champion. He went on to say that several teams per league sources have called LA about Stafford and the belief is a first round pick would probably be the asking price should the Rams choose to make a deal. And reportedly Stafford's preference would be to stay in la. But apparently this is about the money. And I'm just wondering, based on the dead cap hit that would apply if they trade him or if, you know, they release him, whatever the decision is, does he know he's got them in a spot to where it would make more sense to keep him, extend him short term and pay him as opposed to go elsewhere? Because I just wonder why we're at this point and maybe seeing some of the numbers financially that have been thrown out. He carries the $49 million cap hit if he's released, if maybe that's why Matt Stafford is as aggressive as he is trying to get paid. You know, what probably would be the last contract of his career?

[Brady Quinn]

Well, I think that's one of the biggest things, is like this is his last chance to really tie into that, that big dollar value value at the end of his career. Do you remember when Tom Brady and Drew Brees were at the end of their career? They were signing essentially for like 25 million per year, which is crazy to think that, you know, especially Tom Brady was still playing at a really high level at that point, that that's what you could have gotten a first ballot hall of Famer for. And, and I'm not saying Stafford's a Hall of Famer and I, I mean, that's for someone else to decide, but that number is going to be closer to 50 now, you know, as far as what he's going to sign for or what anyone's willing to invest. And that's in essence what the Falcons signed Cousins for last year. They gave him 90 million guaranteed over two years. Now he'll end up basically getting the 90 million for only playing one. But that's kind of the going rate. And that's why if you're any one of these quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers, Matt Stafford, whoever, there's a component of this that is financial. Where else in the world are any of those guys going to step off of the field and onto a set or anything else and make $50 million a year? You're just not. There's nothing out there waiting for them that they're going to make that much money. So you exhaust all efforts at doing it. If you could be in a situation where you're with a team that, I mean, hell, again, you mentioned it earlier this week, Jonas took the Philadelphia Eagles to the brink. Why not stay another year or two? Why not finish things out out in la? Now he's got some leverage on him. That's probably part of it. But I look at this and just say there's a huge need for teams for, they don't want to start over, they don't want to have to have a guy who's unproven necessarily, or they might not be in a position, even draft one. And so it's, why not spend the money then on a veteran guy like that where you can get some things, you know, you get your ducks in a row, get some things in place to prepare for that young guy that comes along, whether either, either via the draft, either via a guy you take that's unexpected, that develops. I mean, it wasn't like Jalen Hurts was a first round pick, it was a second round pick and they had inclination he'd be ready at some point, but he developed into that. So maybe there's some guys in this year's draft, whether it's a Jackson dart or someone else that we're not talking about enough that could develop into that guy behind, you know, one of these veteran guys, whether it's a Rogers, Stafford.

[Trevon Edwards]

Whoever, that's a whole lot of money to pay somebody to have somebody develop behind them. I mean, the numbers are just, I think it's just crazy to think that, all right, you're at the end, we're going to throw you 50 to come in here and start for what, a year or two maybe. I just think that's crazy. I mean, but I mean, that's the market that we're in. I just think that that's pretty wild, man. And. And so looking at the Rams, they don't. They're okay with entertaining this, because why, if. If somebody else is willing to pay that amount of money for the quarterback that you have, I would assume you. You feel good about who you're moving on from that quarterback to use, right? I mean, you're not going to move away from a quarterback that can command that type of money in the. In the. In the market, and you don't have another guy, so why would you allow somebody else to pay him that money if he could still be that player for you? Like, is there. Is there bad blood? Like, is there more to it than just the idea of playing football?

[Wells Fargo Announcer]

That.

[LaVar Arrington]

That's what I've wondered about this, because if you're Matt Stafford and you came from the situation you came from, which was Detroit, where you made a ton of money, he's made, you know, $365 million, whatever it is, in his career. He made a ton of money in Detroit, but he wanted out of there because he wanted to try and win. Well, now you're in a place to where even when they thought it was a down year or. Yeah, well, we're not really sure about them. Nobody gave the Eagles as much of a game as the Rams did in the postseason, and that was in snow conditions with turnovers and all that stuff, and yet with an opportunity late in that game to go down, ball in his hands, final drive to try and win that game on the road in Philly. And if you do that, next thing you know, you're hosting a playoff game and it's the NFC title game. Like, if I. If I was Matt Stafford, I would look at it and go, man, I've made X amount of dollars my career. I'm in a great spot. Why would I want to leave? Like, why not work more with them? And instead, there's this awkward thing that's going on. This is the second year in a row this has happened. That's the part that I wonder, is there some bad blood there? Like, is there something else going on there? Because to me, especially knowing where he came from and the amount of money he's made, it doesn't add up to me why you would ever want to entertain going anywhere else unless it is all about money. He wants to get to an even 400 million. I don't know. Like, I. I can't figure.

[Trevon Edwards]

But my point is, why wouldn't the Rams. Why would the Rams not. Oh, God, yeah, maybe. Why would the Rams not hold on to him if he's that valuable out there? You don't have a answer. You don't have a replacement for him. If somebody's willing, okay, I mean, Rogers could be one.

[Brady Quinn]

Darnold could be one. He literally just came from that same system in Minnesota.

[LaVar Arrington]

Okay, come on, var Rogers out here in SoCal, he be neighbors.

[Trevon Edwards]

If somebody's willing to pay that man that type of money and you're going to bring in Rogers and you think it's going to be different, okay, how much are you paying Rogers? How much is he going to get around? The same.

[LaVar Arrington]

Less than Stafford?

[Trevon Edwards]

Is it going to be less?

[LaVar Arrington]

Oh, yeah. Why?

[Trevon Edwards]

Why would it be less than Stafford? He's got more of a body of work. Why would it be less? They're both at the end of their careers.

[LaVar Arrington]

He was willing to play for less than with the Jets. I think with the jets he was going to make what, 30 and change like 30 million? Something like the Rams would be saving about $20 million this upcoming year. Bringing Aaron Rodgers one last time. Give it a go in Los Angeles. Could live right down the street from Uvar.

[Trevon Edwards]

Sometimes you get what you pay for.

[LaVar Arrington]

Guys could hang out in Dondo during the summer.

[Trevon Edwards]

I mean, we're into some of the same things. I wouldn't have a problem with hanging with him. I have no problem with Aaron Rodgers. I'll go down in the Keebler elf tree with him for a little bit.

[LaVar Arrington]

I fit in there.

That's awful and I should have seen it coming.

[LaVar Arrington]

It's the Dan Patrick Show, Fox Sports Radio, Levar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming up a little over 15 minutes from now, we are going to have ourselves something we do in our normal time slot on two pros and a cup of Joe called Lee's Leftovers, where our executive producer Lee Dilap has some thoughts, some things on his mind. He will throw those at us and usually he steers us towards ditch as we close out the show here on a Thursday. So we will hear from Lee coming up here at about 15 minutes from now. Now, we do know what is going to happen in the draft, right? We know who's not going to be there. At least the draft is coming up in April. It's in Green Bay and apparently Shador Sanders will not be a part of the draft. Shador Sanders was on overtime talking about his decision to not attend the draft in Green Bay. Let's take a listen.

[Trevon Edwards]

We most likely do Colorado or Dallas. We ain't really decide, like fully, fully, fully yet. Yeah, we Plan on doing it, you know, like an event thing and where it'll be fun, it'll be more family, friends, be able to come. Because the only thing we're going to the draft is just like, you know, I want to spend those moments with my people. And you gotta think having everybody come out there, bro, it's gonna be so expensive. You feel me? So cost wise, you saving a lot of money, you get to be around your people and all that. Like, it's not just me, you know, that that was able to get to this point. It's like a team. It was a team thing. It was a team of people that helped me allowed to get to where I am now. So I want to be able to make sure I am able to enjoy that with everybody and nobody be in uncomfortable situations just for traveling and just to show support.

[LaVar Arrington]

So there you go, Shador.

[Trevon Edwards]

And that's for the draft.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yep.

[Trevon Edwards]

Yeah. Yeah. Which, you know, look, making more sense these days, it.

[Brady Quinn]

It does make a lot of sense. And, and I think it's not an easy place to get to. And you know, for, for some people, they'd rather be at home with their family and friends in an environment they're comfortable with. Depending on who you talk to. Some people view Shador as number one. Some people views Cam Ward. I kind of.

[Trevon Edwards]

Another one out there. Another one?

[Brady Quinn]

What's that?

[Trevon Edwards]

There's another one out there for number one. Come on, throw him out there. Throw his name out there.

[Brady Quinn]

Who?

[Trevon Edwards]

Abdul Carter.

[Brady Quinn]

No, no quarter.

[Trevon Edwards]

I'm talking quarterbacks. Okay, all right. Okay.

[Brady Quinn]

That's why.

[Trevon Edwards]

Yeah, that's all right.

[Brady Quinn]

Okay. And anyway, the point is, is that like, those guys, you know, they probably want to say, like, hey, I don't necessarily know where exactly I could be going. I mean, I went through that when I, when I went to New York. Um, and so there's. There's always that potential chance that maybe it doesn't work out exactly the way you think or exactly the way you had hoped for. So there's, there's elements of that, but I think the other thing is, and I remember, like, the NFL brought me in at one point in time, after the draft, maybe was like a couple of years later, two or three years later, and we talked about some of the things that would make it easier to get more guys to go because they wanted to, to create an environment where more guys want to go to the draft, to walk out on stage to shake Roger Goodell's hand. And I kind of said to him, like, look, if you guys aren't paying guys to be here. Like, there's going to come a time when these guys can make more money staying at home and doing a draft party somewhere else. And it sounds like that's something that the Sanders family's gonna be able to capitalize off of. You know, whether it's Shador or it's Travis Hunter as well, I'd assume there's a few other players, too. You know, Shepard, their wide receiver, he's gonna get drafted. Horn will get drafted. Like, there's a number of players who I think will get drafted from that team, and there might be something they're doing for all of them and all those guys getting paid off that. So that's the hard part is I think people sometimes aren't aware that a lot of these athletes now have the potential and chance to make a lot of money before they get into the NFL. And even that week leading up to the draft, whether you go to the.

[Trevon Edwards]

Draft or not, I guarantee you there's going to be a ton of KFC there. No, captain, that's a. That the, the. The Sanders family have been doing a lot of KFC reads a lot of KFC commercials.

[Brady Quinn]

So here, here's my question for you, though. Can you call it KFC if KFC is moving its headquarters from Kentucky to Texas?

[Trevon Edwards]

I mean, yes, because it's still, it's still the. The recipe originated from Kentucky. That's why it's like, why are you able to call Philly cheesesteaks? Philly cheesesteaks in different places. Why can't you call them French fries? I don't get all of that. You know, I mean, is it not a French fry? Because it's not in France. I'm just saying, is it not a Philly cheesesteak? Because it's not in Philly. So I think it would still be Kentucky Fried Chicken. I mean, I could go buy some KFC today in Cali and it'd still be called KFC in a Bucket. But I, I'm being joke. I'm joking. But I think the point.

[LaVar Arrington]

It's not churches, but okay, Church's does.

[Trevon Edwards]

Have some good chicken, but I really do like Popeyes chicken, man.

[Brady Quinn]

It's Popeyes flavor, man.

[Trevon Edwards]

I'm telling you, I love me some Popeyes. Popeyes almost stole my career, man. Stole my career.

[Brady Quinn]

You know what, though? Hey, without Popeyes, you may have never had PhD.

[Trevon Edwards]

That is very true. That is very true. And I was reminded of that as well. Hey, but you know, if, if I could do it all over Again, going back to my draft day, I 100% would have did it somewhere where all my family could be there. It would have probably most likely and in all actuality been at my high school. I think that would have made the most sense to me when I looked back on it. And things move so fast and so quickly that, you know, you just kind of go with the flow of what people tell you, the status quo of what, what it's supposed. But I think the cool thing about, you know, where things are now is that athletes have more of an understanding of what they represent and the value that they hold. You know, I can't say that I knew that when I was coming out. In terms of that value being me saying, you know what? I think we should coordinate me doing it here, or I can use this, like, if somebody took it to a whole nother level where I'm going to take this moment that's for me getting drafted, and I'm going to use this as, as platform and the opportunity to shine light on something that I'm truly passionate about. Like, those are the things that I would have. If I could do it all over again, that's how I would do it. I would shine light on our wounded warriors programming. Not understanding what, you know, what goes into all of it and, and how many people can be impacted and affected in a positive way if people just got involved. You know, there's, like, for me, that would be my passion and that would be something that I would think understanding your brand, understanding what you command, terms of time and attention and being able to leverage that, I think it's a great, It's a great step forward for athletes that understand it. Generally, quarterbacks have that understanding. They, they have that support group where they're, they're the planning of what their careers look like, how they are handling things. I mean, Tim Tebow being one of the best examples that you could ever throw out there in terms of just leveraging your passion and your purpose along with what you do on the field and how you can build your community, that I would have definitely been a part of my community. I would have made sure Penn State community was a part of it. I would have made sure that, that my North Hills family was a part of it as well. And obviously my immediate family members, like my grandparents and all that stuff. So I, I think it's a good. I think it's great reasoning from Shador to say he wants to be, you know, where the people that were with him can, can attend with all of them. Can attend with him.

[LaVar Arrington]

It is awesome. Now, if the draft was in south.

[Trevon Edwards]

Beach, here you go. I might change my mind and I might just do it there. I might have to do all those things that I mentioned. Just do it in South beach, you.

[LaVar Arrington]

Know, just throw everything at the Clevelander and say, anybody want to come now and feel like, you know, you'd have a different, different answer.

[Trevon Edwards]

I would still do it at home. I think I would if today. I would still do it at home.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah, but back then you were what, 21. Let's go.

[Trevon Edwards]

And, and, you know, I think that that is truly the, the, the wild card of having Dion primetime Sanders, you know, his guidance, his. His mentorship, his understanding. He is an ultimate master brander. I mean, he is as good as it has ever been. And they get the benefit of him being their coach. And in Shador's case, he gets the benefit of that being his father. So I think that that plays a part. I did not have that type of guidance, you know.

[Brady Quinn]

All right, let me, let me ask you, you guys a question. If the draft was in New York, do you think they'd be going?

[Trevon Edwards]

I must say, I, I think they. They're going to stick to the plan, though. That would.

[Brady Quinn]

That may be the case, but there's probably a better chance.

[Trevon Edwards]

Based off of what they could parlay leverage in New York. I would say there's a chance that they would do that.

[LaVar Arrington]

That's why I threw out Miami.

[Trevon Edwards]

I don't think the market is Miami, that the market definitely isn't crazy attractive to want to do it there.

[Brady Quinn]

Here's the thing. Is the draft just like the combine, just like the Pro bowl too oftentimes the NFL tinkers and tweaks this stuff. And it's really. So there's like a, you know, bidding process and, you know, look, there's a lot of cities that have gotten left out of Super Bowls because they're not going to either have the confines of a stadium to host one, you know, or, you know, even if they do, it might be a one and done unless it's a dome, because they don't want to have to necessarily be in a cold weather place. So that's the truth and the harsh reality. So what did they do to circumvent that? They came up with the draft where they're going to rotate now in different cities. And I get it. There's excitement around it. But just from my experience, man, there was people who came to New York who've never been back in my family. Like, they Solely came for that event, that moment, to share with me everything else and just to experience New York, like, that was like. One of the things, too, is, oh, it's in New York. I mean, if it was in another city where they go, I don't know, maybe, maybe not. But there's something about that. You know, there's. There's something about having the Pro bowl in Hawaii that made it special. And I think this is one of the mistakes that the NFL has made, in a way. And I understand in saying that it's probably going to upset some Green Bay fans, people who live in Green Bay. I'm sorry if that upsets you. I just can only talk from my perspective on it. And I. Regardless of how long it took me to get drafted on that draft day, I still wouldn't have changed a thing in regards to, especially going to New York and being a part of it. And all the different things that we did that week leading up, whether it's the children's hospital visits, some of the community service visits, like any of those other things, it was. It was all incredible, was awesome. It was well put on by the NFL. That's why I'm a bit. I'm not surprised when players opt to not go because it's not always, you know, the same. It doesn't feel the same. You know, if they move the Heisman from New York to somewhere else, wouldn't quite feel the same. So that's. That's kind of one of those things that it's. It's. It's synonymous with that. You know, when you think about the draft, like, I always think about New York, but, you know, that's changed now, and I think that might play a role in some of these guys opting not to go.

[LaVar Arrington]

You know, and I've always thought that the draft has now turned into the consolation prize for a city that can't get a Super Bowl. I will throw you the draft. You know, whether it's Green Bay next year is going to be Pittsburgh. A Super bowl is never going to Pittsburgh. But the draft can go and you can come out there for, you know, two, three days, hang out and infuse some. Something to the economy there.

[Trevon Edwards]

And it was such a hit in Tennessee, I think people felt like, okay, this is something that could work. But then you. I just got to be honest, when you hit a market like Green Bay, I think you take a lot. It may turn out to be a win. But I think going into it, I don't think it's very attractive.

[LaVar Arrington]

You Almost signed with Green Bay, and.

[Trevon Edwards]

I got offered by New York and went to New York for less money.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah. Lavar's exhibit A. Why do York be the preference over Green Bay?

[Trevon Edwards]

It just. It just seems like what Q said. I think the. The. The tradition of it just seems to be right, you know, the way you handle things. Because I did enjoy my time for the draft as well in New York. I will say, as much family as I had there, I will say again, I'm standing on what I just said. I would have. Knowing the value that you brought to them going to those children's hospitals.

[Brady Quinn]

Sit on what you just said. You have to stand on it.

[Trevon Edwards]

No, I'm a stand on it. Sitting on it is kind of like when you sit on something that. That would kind of imply lazy. Yeah, that would imply lazy.

[Brady Quinn]

I got.

[Trevon Edwards]

You got to stand on it. Yeah, sit on it. Is not. Yeah. No cap. Thank you. Up top, Jonas. Yeah. Okay.

[LaVar Arrington]

All right.

[Trevon Edwards]

There you go. I just think that having the value that you bring to the table and. And what that represents, I think that you can maximize that in your. In your own community. You come out and unless you're from New York, I think you come outside of your community to go into somebody else's to bring that value. They bring your value into it. Whereas I think in a moment where you're accomplishing something, that it represents a closing of. Of a major chapter, which is the pursuit of becoming a professional at what you're doing. I think in those moments, it definitely should be focused in on how you can maximize what you're doing and what that plan represents versus somebody else maximizing it. And I think that that's what people do that's connected to the NFL draft. That's what they do. And if you don't have any plan, then it's fine if you're a part of it. But I would just say if I was a Shador Sanders or an Abdul Carter or a Cam Ward, I. I think that I would want to bring awareness and use my brand to bring awareness to the things that I'm passionate about and connection to my community, and that's a tremendous value that you would be able to bring to your community. That otherwise, like, if I could go back and do it all over again, it would be veterans. It would be bringing Thawne, you know, pediatric cancer. Bringing awareness to those things. That's ultimately what growing your brand and. And growing your. Your reputation and. And status is. Is really should be for, is to. To assist and push other people forward.

We sift through innumerable accounts. 35 pages isn't very much, many of them conflicting.

[Trevon Edwards]

That's nonsense.

[Ritual Announcer]

There were 60 pages. And try to get to the truth of what really happened and they said, we're finished.

[Wells Fargo Announcer]

This is over. It only is not gonna work.

[Brady Quinn]

Try to get rid of those guys.

[Ritual Announcer]

Now, I don't know if you have the update, but like, all the little thumbs up and heart and stuff, like, it's all colored. They changed it and the heart's a little pink. It felt like I told you I loved you. I'm gonna be honest. It was a little pink.

[Brady Quinn]

There was something sentimental when you, like.

[Trevon Edwards]

When you send it, it's like, do I send the heart now?

[T-Mobile Announcer]

I don't like the color edition.

[Brady Quinn]

It's extremely pink.

[Ritual Announcer]

What is that?

[LaVar Arrington]

Sounds incredible, but they're still good.

[Brady Quinn]

Time to find out what's left.

[Trevon Edwards]

It's Lee's leftovers.

[LaVar Arrington]

All right, the lap. What do we got?

[T-Mobile Announcer]

Well, fellas, tonight we get it. We get USA versus Canada, USA point and a half favorites, and the four nations face off finale at TD Garden.

[LaVar Arrington]

Let's see. What is it? Well, that's the puck line. The money line is even.

[T-Mobile Announcer]

The money line's even, Correct.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah. So how do we feel here?

[Brady Quinn]

No booing of this beautiful song. No booing of it.

[LaVar Arrington]

All right.

[Brady Quinn]

Just play nice.

[LaVar Arrington]

You don't think Canadians are gonna get me get into that this time, do you? I can't imagine they would take this. Want to. Now, what's the over under on first fight? First time they drop the gloves and start throwing down.

[Brady Quinn]

What do you got? Got anything, Lee?

[T-Mobile Announcer]

I don't have that. I do have first goal scorers. Connor McDavid is best odds. Obviously fight. I think it's got to be first period, right?

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah, I would assume. But, you know, it would be nice if we had a. An actual line on that. I'm working over if you're drafting that. What else we got, Lee?

[T-Mobile Announcer]

Well, speaking of USA versus Canada, remember the Delta flight that was leaving Minneapolis crashed in Toronto, flipped upside down. Well, Delta is offering $30,000 to each passenger that was on that flight. 76 passengers. That comes out to about $2.3 million. They have yet to decide whether or not they are going to accept that. Is that enough money? 30,000?

[Trevon Edwards]

Hell, no.

[Brady Quinn]

No. Honestly, they'll probably be. I don't know how many you need for a class action, but, like, once they get all the facts on why, what happened, how it happened, there'll be a significant lawsuit. So there's no chance that it takes that money?

[Trevon Edwards]

No chance.

[LaVar Arrington]

Did anybody get seriously hurt?

[T-Mobile Announcer]

There were some injuries. Seriously hurt. I don't know what you mean by that.

[Trevon Edwards]

Seriously hurt is seriously hurt. In one of those things, I believe.

[LaVar Arrington]

I saw, like, nine people in critical condition.

[Brady Quinn]

They're gonna have PTSD from it, too. Everyone think about. Think about flying from it.

[Trevon Edwards]

I'll never fly.

[Brady Quinn]

Scary. That would be.

[Trevon Edwards]

Never do it.

[LaVar Arrington]

Now, how did it end up flipped over? Did it land and then slipped it land the gear?

[Brady Quinn]

No, the gear went out because it landed so hard and so fast. And then as it kind of turned, obviously as it hit the landing, then it kind of rolled over.

[T-Mobile Announcer]

Yeah, the wing snapped off and it rolled.

[Trevon Edwards]

It looked like it wasn't an ice. Like, wasn't it ice and snow or whatever? I thought. It's not why. That's not why. Ok. Okay. All right.

[Brady Quinn]

They didn't. They didn't decelerate enough. There wasn't, like, flaps out usually to then gradually touch down. They kind of slammed down and they did. So instead of, like, the back hitting first, it seemed like it all kind of hit together and maybe even the front first to a degree.

[LaVar Arrington]

Hey, man.

[Trevon Edwards]

And that's really all.

[LaVar Arrington]

All. You know, you don't hear about that with spirit.

[Trevon Edwards]

That's really all pallets do is take off and land. Right. The rest of it is all auto pallet.

[Brady Quinn]

It.

[Trevon Edwards]

It's like the takeoff.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yep.

[Trevon Edwards]

And the land. That's it. That's all you got to do.

[Brady Quinn]

Like, Delta's taking all the blame, but I believe it was Endeavor Air was the operator, which, like, that's one thing. If you're flying out there, look into it. Don't just look at who you're purchasing the ticket from. Look at who's actually operating the plane itself.

[LaVar Arrington]

It's a great point.

[Trevon Edwards]

Dang. They had Snoop Dogg do. Do the soul Plane, and, you know, and he was. He was the pallet. You might not want to fly on on that plane. Shots out Snoop Dogg and Kevin Hart for, you know, the soul playing. Too soon, Bad drivers. Too soon flyers. Maybe it's too soon.

[LaVar Arrington]

What else?

[Brady Quinn]

What else?

[T-Mobile Announcer]

Whether or not it's enough money. Patrick Mahomes senior is supposedly going to be paid $85,000 in base pay to fight John Rocker. Is that enough?

[Trevon Edwards]

85 and base paid?

[T-Mobile Announcer]

Yeah. Patrick Mahomes is trying to put a stop to it, apparently. Reportedly.

[Trevon Edwards]

Yeah. I don't know if I'm Patrick, like, 85 grand? I don't know, man. Yeah. I'm gonna say no.

[LaVar Arrington]

Who you got on that fight? Mahomes or.

[Trevon Edwards]

I don't have either one of them.

[Brady Quinn]

Well, you have to pick a dog.

[Trevon Edwards]

In the fight after. After the Mike Tyson deal. I don't. I don't. I don't. I'm not getting into these.

[LaVar Arrington]

I'm gonna take Mahomes. I feel like rocker's too muscular. Mahomes. Straighter punches.

[Trevon Edwards]

He might not feel them after a couple of them drinks.
