00:01let's get it going on a thursday this is going to be a lively show we have things that have
00:07already happened things that are seemingly happening and at some point rico will attempt
00:11to drink a gallon of apple cider we have got a big day planned a big day once again david
00:18why do people listen to what michael has to say it was just you tooling around
00:25i'm like you need a kid straw for that right no all right we won't be doing a shoulder six
00:30i won't
00:30yeah no no we'd have to get rico on a wireless all right so can i start with a psa
00:36i'm not in a bad
00:38mood i promise you okay and there's no yelling about this jeffrey simmons thing there's i'm not
00:44i'm not going to get mad at something that hasn't happened yet shout out rico beard but i i do
00:50like like in horse racing we talk about sometimes you got to show people the crop you got to show
00:54the horse the crop i'm not going to hit you with this thing but i'm going to show you the
00:57damn crop
00:58because here's the deal there are a lot of stupid going around and i want to help you with something
01:05because there's only one thing i'm not going to listen to about what the bears did only one
01:12you don't have to love it you don't have to live in fear of it you don't have to
01:18curl up in the fetal position on the floor like paul does when the dolphins lose none of those i'm
01:24not asking you to do any of that can i guess no okay i just want to deliver this message
01:29okay if i
01:32have to hear from one more person about how it was an overpay by the bears my head's gonna explode
01:42okay i am not allowing that normally i i give everyone a chance guys i'm not telling you how
01:50to feel you can do whatever you like call the show we'll talk about nope not today nope today we're
01:55going to do something straight out of russia okay i'm throwing you in the gulag if you call up to
02:00talk
02:00about it's an overpay i'm hanging up on you because you know jared what was the word i find it
02:08to be
02:11if you think it's an overpay i think it's a about your lack of knowledge of football so i'm
02:20going to do this real quick and then we're getting into it okay jeffrey simmons is not
02:25deforest buckner he's younger and he's signed and he's better he's 29 he's signed through 2031
02:34on a very fair contract he is nearly inarguably the best defensive tackle in the entire nfl he is
02:45not a space eater he's a disruptor he ranks in the 90th percentile of any category any front office
02:53person would ever care about run stopping sacks pressures badassery the first round picks don't
03:02matter you're trying to win a super bowl if you win it's not an overpay if you don't no fan
03:12is
03:12gonna bitch about it and here's my problem with some of you i'm being very careful here because
03:18rico is really trying to shepherd me just like when david's giving that marital counseling to people
03:23rico's counseling me i want to help you now there's about a 30 that are beyond help you dummies
03:34the first round pick thing all this you're the dude who can't afford a hot dog and you're talking
03:41about what a bad purchase it is that a guy just bought a hundred foot yacht man you don't have
03:47a pot to bleep in it wasn't market value right oh my god that's a depreciating asset sir you're at
03:55frank sinatra at home depot you don't get to talk about a 400 million dollar yacht okay the bears are
04:02going for it they have a quarterback on a rookie scale deal they have a defense that's on the come
04:09they feel like if we could solidify the middle of our defensive line and put a disruptor next to a
04:16space eater like grady jarrett it unlocks super bowl good you know what i don't like about some
04:24lions fans some some not a majority certainly not all some you couldn't find a super bowl with two
04:32hands and a flashlight who the hell are you to tell anybody who's desperate to go win one that they're
04:39too desperate you should be selling body parts to win one so do me a solid you have a right
04:46to feel
04:46it's an overpay take it to any other show on this station you're not allowed here i'm not here for
04:52it
04:53i will not listen to it i will not read the text i do not appreciate or respect or value
05:00your opinion
05:01because if you think what the bears did was an overpay i think it's
05:05about your lack of brain power thank you jared that's it now you don't have to love the move
05:11but i will not do this that's what lion fans do they're armchair quarterbacks oh look at that team
05:19tried it didn't work and what did you do you were sitting there playing with your tube sock
05:24let's say yeah you got that last year oh you made green bay you made this big move for micah
05:29parsons
05:29and what happened he got hurt and you didn't make you didn't win the super bowl yeah guess what
05:34where were you exactly so are you so let me get this straight for some you'd rather just sit back
05:41and do nothing and fall in love with the guys in your room and keep your own guys yes that's
05:46okay
05:46or you can hope that your gm goes out there and really tries and pushes the envelope because i would
05:54say michael the worst case scenario for the lions if they go out and they make a big splash in
06:01the
06:01trade market and it doesn't work oh well guess what you didn't win the super bowl again there it
06:09is you haven't won it ever so okay you tried and you didn't win the super bowl you can't be
06:15that
06:15disappointed so let's center this now now that we got that out of our systems i'm not handing the
06:20bears a super bowl i'm not yelling about brad holmes rico lamar beard has said michael do not get bad
06:26about something that hasn't happened yet so i'm not going to i don't know what brad will or won't do
06:32all i can tell you is yesterday i told you you better look out if the bears go get jeffrey
06:38simmons
06:41they did remember yesterday hey man i think the niners are going to get buckner
06:47they did seattle simply said i see you're good player and i'm getting a gold jacket one
06:53quentin nelson the nfc is getting tougher so here's my question to you do you believe doing it your way
07:02you're going to the super bowl it is a yes or no proposition you can feel however you want about
07:10that
07:11there's only one thing i ain't dealing with today the low rent low iq lazy copium filled
07:19golly gee that's a lot of house good luck with it well you live in a tent i don't know
07:25one cares i
07:26don't know if we i would want to give up two first round picks that's a steep ask yeah well
07:30good you
07:31know what keep sitting in your lawn chairs staring at the sky and the cloud formations but the funny
07:36thing is not even saying you got to go out and get a simmons no but the other guys got
07:41players
07:41that they gave up a third round seattle gave up a third rounder the niners gave up a fourth rounder
07:46okay here's the problem with this this exposes something that fans who defend brad holmes and i'm
07:53not attacking brad today let's be clear it exposes them for not understanding really how simple this is
08:00people want to believe these front office executives are right alongside the unbelievable
08:06people at places like carmano's cancer institute like somehow they're curing the world's ills
08:12you're playing fantasy football with billionaires money okay do you know how this jeffrey simmons
08:18deal went down ryan poles poured a bourbon and called berzaghi or whatever the hell his name is at
08:24the titans and said i want jeffrey simmons that's it this deal was done in 24 hours he goes well
08:32here's the offer sleep on it let me know what do you offer me and they called this morning deal
08:38was
08:38done how's that any different to fantasy football baby it's not it is a matter of do you have a
08:45scout
08:45or do you have a gm brad holmes could easily pick up the phone to players he wants right now
08:52and shop
08:54them don't act like he can't and what did we say and i know we're the bad people rico's mean
09:00i'm a
09:01guido asshat paul sarah is overly sarcastic we're terrible we're awful people what do we say to you
09:07this deadline is shaping up to be vastly different than anyone you've seen in the nfl deals are going
09:13to happen sooner faster more explosive more player movement more of an nba trade deadline or
09:20let's go 25 years ago and hearken to what the old nhl trade deadline used to be okay it's it's
09:27unfolding in front of your eyes so yeah oh brad's made three deals they're all on deadline day
09:34cool i don't know what he's gonna do but all i'll tell you is i didn't believe you were a
09:39super bowl
09:39team before i don't believe you're a super bowl team now yeah so i'm just sitting waiting i do think
09:47you're gonna beat the vikings rico's gonna lose to me again it's gonna be an exciting sunday i will
09:52not you will i will not but i want to hear from you guys look my response to it is
09:58the bears just got
09:59the most difficult thing to find in this league maybe outside of an offensive tackle at the deadline
10:05you got a game wrecker in the middle of a defense you did those don't grow on trees you did
10:10and they
10:10got the best one in the sport and signed yeah and he's gonna be there for a while yes he's
10:15pairing up
10:16with his old teammate and yeah i do like what the bears did because mike the news came out that
10:22look
10:22ryan poles wanted to force buckner he couldn't get him buckner wanted to go back to san francisco
10:28they actually offered more yep to get him he didn't get discouraged he simply pivoted and said okay
10:35he's gone who's next he did the opposite of what brad did with joey porter jr yeah because i'll go
10:42to
10:42my grave believing the cowboys said we'll give you a two in two years and and and brad bristled
10:46i can't go above a third sure you can you could offer to two this year and been done and
10:52then we
10:53don't have any conversation to have because i do think that would elevate your defense but i'll throw
10:57a number up 248-539-9797 your reaction to the simmons deal the nelson deal the buckner deal but i'm
11:06just
11:06trying to level with lion fan do you believe you're a super bowl team yes or no because the
11:11rest of the nfc is getting better it doesn't rule you out of anything nothing's impossible but what
11:18i'm not going to do between two and six and i know rico buys into this we together are not
11:23going to do
11:23lazy low iq radio i'm not going to demean these other teams i'm not going to do what the italian
11:32nona does well it's a lot of house it's a lot to keep clean look they're making moves they're going
11:38for it how could i dog that but if you want to be a chicken head and sit by the
11:42side of the road
11:43and cackle if it doesn't work that's fine let's check your trophy case
11:49brad's on the clock show me yeah i'm gonna wait i have nothing to react to but i'm gonna just
11:56sit
11:56here and wait but i think evan put it best in the pre-show so you go for it and
12:01it doesn't work
12:02out okay you didn't win the super bowl again what's the difference right but you know what
12:08the problem is brad runs this like private equity that's what he runs it like be consistently good
12:14let's extract as much money as we can from every fan let's push the rev limiter we'll just be good
12:20for a long time versus great for a short time and we'll make more money that way no i'm not
12:25saying
12:25that's what he goes to bed thinking i'm just telling you from a management style that's what
12:29this is it's no different than dynamic pricing dynamic pricing is just a stress test on your wallet
12:37so as long as they stay good they make money i don't care about good i want to win a
12:43title
12:44but again you call into question ownership at a certain point hate to break it to you
12:48everybody wanting to think this is a totally new day it's not it's still a ford
12:54show me a time where the fords have gone all in show me you can't it doesn't exist
13:00they went in for pat's willing
13:05cool 248-539-9797 but let's get into it and we are awaiting the ransom note missive possibly on
13:13sean horkoff's myspace about the dylan larkin situation let me translate for you what went on
13:19today that's larkin to the team you had time to trade me i tried to be a good soldier a
13:25guy who
13:25wouldn't show up to work just got traded in halibuck and you know what halibuck you i'm out of here
