It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS Sports Radio. Good morning to you. I hope that you are prepared for what is to come.

And if you're waking up on your Wednesday morning at this hour, ouch. But you know, we're here to keep you company for the next hour. We got you. We got you. Thank you for all of your questions for Ask Amy Anything. I have gone back and answered a few of them already on our Facebook page, the ones that I can answer quickly.

So check those out After Hours with Amy Lawrence. Also on our show Twitter, when I am awakened so rudely on Wednesday afternoon. No, it's that alarm. Do you guys use the same alarm tone or the same alarm ringer?

Is that what you call it? Alarm sound on your phone? It's to the point now where it's almost jarring, right? If I try to use a different sound, I don't think I would even hear it. But my brain is so conditioned to the one sound that I use. Would you like to hear it, Jay?

I would. It's a mess. It really is a mess. In fact, it like instantly causes angst. And yet somehow, still somehow, I'm able to turn it off and not realize I turned it off. Okay, this will be fun. I've never done this on the air before.

All right, saving it. My phone says the alarm will go off soon. It's loud too. Anyway, for those of you who are not quite ready to get out of bed, maybe this will help. So yes, the alarm can be jarring.

I suggest waking up to our show is a lot easier. Have you ever heard your noise that you use as an alarm in public, like someone else's ring tone? Yes. Immediately, it's just like, what? Wait, what? Like I'm late.

Yes, absolutely. I've heard someone's phone actually ring. It was their ringer for a call coming in. And it was my alarm tone.

And it gave me Ajita. It's going to go off soon. Don't you worry. It's up after hours here on CBS Sports Radio. And I don't know if it's a tough morning for Celtics fans to wake up. They don't really have anything to worry about because it is a healthy lead still atop the Eastern Conference.

And they did, in fact, have a 22-point lead. Ready? It's soothing. No, it's not. Sounds like an ice cream man. But it's not soothing when it wakes you up every day and every morning. Like I'm not used to that one. So it's like a little soothing to me, but I could, yeah, see that getting old quick.

Oh, yes. And it vibrates too. The best wakeups are the ones where you don't need the alarm. You wake up like right before it, which I love doing. You know what the worst is for other people in your house? When you go outside and walk the dog and you forget that the alarm is on your phone? Oh my gosh, my poor husband. I've done that to him a couple of times.

See, people are mad already. I've done it to him a couple of times where I got up quickly thinking, okay, okay, I'm going to go get the dogs out before he wakes up and I'll do this as a good wifey poo. And I leave my phone in the bedroom and then come back in. I'm all proud of myself. You know, nobody else had to wake up except the alarm had gone off like multiple times because, because he couldn't figure out how to turn it off.

I lost the wife of the year award and it's only like two months in. Oh, it's so bad. Yeah. Right.

Anyway, so that is combination ice cream truck and baby's mobile, you know, that hangs over there, hangs over their crib. So that's my alarm. I kind of feel like whatever music we play is far more pleasant to wake up to, except that sometimes Jay plays the headbanger music and then it hurts.

Backstreet boys. Perfect. Star Wars music. Perfect.

Why can't I get a Star Wars ringtone on my phone? That's what I need. But see, then I wouldn't feel like it was to wake me up. I would just incorporate it into my dreams.

That's what would happen. And also you don't want to associate the Star Wars theme with my days. The process of waking up. Yeah. That's so painful. I suck at mornings. It doesn't matter if the morning is three o'clock in the afternoon.

I still suck at it. I got that from my mom. Sleep problems and not a morning person. Don't you hate it when your dogs are morning people? It's the worst. Mine's not.

No. Mine's not an afternoon or a night dog either. Moose isn't a morning person. He's just not an awake person. He doesn't really like to go outside much. Does he still have his double bed? No. His tower bed.

He wishes. But no, it's just one now. Moose had two beds. One stacked on top of the other one and had to climb into it, which is not an easy feat for a bulldog.

But once he was up there, he was king of the world. It's like the bulldog and the pee in that thing. It's after hours here on CBS Sports Radio. All right. Anytime I tell you, just be ready.

It's coming. Anytime I tell you that the, well, in this case, the Celtics, I was going to say any team had a 22 point lead with nine minutes to go. There's only one reason why I'd be bringing it up.

All right. I wouldn't generally be that specific about one team leading another team unless it all went horribly wrong after that. The Celtics were in Cleveland cruising to what was supposed to be their 12th consecutive win. Boston was up 93-71 with nine minutes left. Garland in the right corner, right of the lane. Back out front, Wade. Three ball.

Good! Boy, Dean Wade having a huge quarter. He's got 15 points in the ball game, 12 of which have come here in the final period. Inbounds to Garland in the left corner, right in front of the Celtic bench. Garland to the foul line. Garland into the paint. Garland gave it to Allen. Garland right side, Wade. Three ball up.

And good! Cav's lead! Dean Wade having the fourth quarter of his life.

Cav's up three, 102.99 with 220 to go. I'm sure for a second there you thought, who? No, not D Wade. Resurrecting his NBA career. They brought him on a 10 day contract.

No, not that. Dean Wade. Dean Wade. Five triples in the fourth quarter. He was en fuego. A 20 point fourth quarter was enough to outscore the Celtics all by himself.

By the way, he had a career high 23, which should tell you something. He had been lying in wait, almost like a snake. I'm not saying Dean Wade is a snake, but you know how a snake will lie in the weeds? Or, oh, you actually asked me about a gator just before the top of the hour as part of rapid fire for asking me anything? A gator lying in the weeds just next to a pond or a small body of water lurking, just waiting for you to come by. A lion.

Any type of a hunter. Just waiting for you to come along. Stalk their prey. Well, they don't even need to stalk. They're just waiting for you. Patient, calm, quiet.

Not things that I generally am. That was Dean Wade. He lured you in his three point performance in the first three quarters.

That's one point for every quarter. Just put the Celtics at ease. And then boom goes Dean Wade.

Well, this game went down to the wire and let's not blame the officials. Tatum pushes Garland. Spins to his right. Falls away at the elbow.

It bounces out. Capped up by Porzingis in, but what did they call? Did they call a foul against the Cavs?

Nobody could hear the whistle. Everything stopped on the floor. The shot was no good. Porzingis put it back up and in, but they called a foul with seven tenths of a second remaining. And Jason Tatum will go to the free throw line. After review, the leg kick by the right leg of Tatum was deemed to make contact with Garland where otherwise contact would not have happened.

Therefore, the ruling on the floor is overturned. It's not enough for an offensive foul on Tatum as it didn't take Garland out of the play. We'll resume play with a jump ball center circle. So no offensive rebound for Porzingis. Jump ball.

I don't think he's just going to make it seven tenths of a second. Porzingis and Jared Allen on the jump ball. Porzingis wins it to Derek White. The clock immediately goes to zero, but they don't start. They made a mistake. No, they're saying the game's over. They started the clock as soon as Porzingis touched it. So Derek White didn't even get a chance to catch it.

The clock is hit triple zeros. The game is over. The win streak is over and what a brutal way for it to end. There'll be a lot of discussion about these final possessions and how they were adjudicated. But the reality is the Cavs came from 22 down to the fourth quarter and somehow get it done.

So here's the thing. You cannot blame a call that could go either way and actually I agree with the overturning. So the Cavs challenged the call.

Jason Tatum initiated the contact with Darius Garland. He kicked his leg out. There was no foul.

I mean come on. Basketball is not always a contact sport, but there was barely any contact. It was not a foul. The officials got it right when they went back and looked at it. Really smart challenge by the Cavaliers and so the call is overturned. The Celtics end up losing as you hear with Sean Grandy on the Celtics radio network.

Before that Cavs radio. You cannot possibly blame a call that does not go your way if you cough up a 22 point lead in nine minutes and Jason Tatum knows it. It was unfortunate. Thought I got fouled, but they didn't think I got fouled and it's tough because we got would have to tip in so. Just a weird way to end the game, but you know they always say the game isn't won or lost in the last play. It's a lot of things that we didn't do well in that fourth quarter that put us in that position.

Yeah, just trying to get a clean look hindsight probably should have went a little bit early to give us more time and maybe another opportunity. It's just not our guys nature to give up and you know we're obviously you know been through situations where we've been short handed. We've been down and it seems like every single time it happens somebody else finds a way to step up and help us win. It's a great win.

There's no doubt about it. You know again how we got it to be down and to be able to come back and win it. It's a huge win for us. I think it's a confidence boost for our guys to understand you know what they're capable of and what they can do.

You know I don't really get into signature wins, but it's definitely a win that you can look back on and you can gain confidence and belief in. JC Bickerstaff head coach of the Cavaliers and that was the first thing that came to my mind is this is a confidence boosting win. Likely the Celtics are in fact they may have already locked up the top seed in the east. They are running away with the conference in the number one seed. However, the Cavaliers are sitting in third. This particular group doesn't have a ton of playoff experience and so I like the fact that they come up with this victory over the Celtics. Do it on their home court.

They've got the crowd behind them and don't forget they're without Donovan Mitchell and they're also without Evan Mobley in uh I can't remember when he went out in this game, but most of the second half if not all they're without Mobley as well. So they're short-handed but they had Travis Kelce on the sidelines right. It was this is funny Kelce bobblehead night. You get two for the price of one because it was Travis and Jason Kelce that are on one little platform. Jay found it and showed me the photo earlier this week and so Travis is sitting courtside and he and Dean Wade have an exchange following the game. He said he was looking if uh you know basketball didn't work out for me and I wanted to be a backup tight end.

You know I got good hands so backup tight end. Yeah he was just uh he's like yeah that was just awesome fourth quarter you know blowing up like that was great um so it was pretty cool. That is pretty cool there you have Dean Wade with a celebrity sighting.

Travis Kelce was all up in his feels. He was pretty excited about it and of course his bobblehead night. It's already on eBay and it's going for a pretty penny. Come on how much?

I'm just looking I mean I'm not sure what how many have sold at what prices yet but I see a couple that are listed already 275, 399, 350. Would you first of all they're everywhere they gave up thousands of them would you pay that kind of money for a bobblehead of any kind? No I mean if it was no no I wouldn't but if it was maybe signed by the both of them with like a personal message I don't know. A cameo? Right Kelce cameo that's the only way I could see it maybe being worth over 80 dollars if it's signed by both of them.

80 bucks? That I think maybe for like that's a really good meal a night out of the town that's date night I wouldn't spend that on a bobblehead. Yeah but it's a collector's item and it's the Kelsey's are a hot name right now.

There were so many of them though. Yeah I mean but if you think about it there's really only how many like 10,000 12,000 which isn't like that many in terms of like you know so there's they're out there you can get them but you know in terms of how many people probably want them. All right.

I'm not buying it. Are you a bobblehead collector? No I I used to go and they would just give them out at like Mets games in here in New York and stuff or like but I would never really I don't really buy them.

I get I'll get them at the stadium giveaway and I have like a lot of them but yeah. Okay I'm trying to think oh the only bobblehead I have this is true story the only one I have is the one that producer Jay gave me for Christmas two years ago an Obi-Wan Kenobi bobblehead that's the only one I got. You know I didn't even realize he was a bobblehead when I bought him.

I know you didn't. He's a Funko pop. You gave him to me a what? A Funko. A Funko? Yeah.

I'm afraid to ask what that word means. Uh Funko pop. Yeah I mean that's just the company. Oh.

Yeah they're like beanie babies except like up today like people think they're gonna be worth a lot of money but they're really not. Well Obi-Wan will be. He's actually a special one so hang on to him. I why would I get rid of him? He's a special one.

He's the only bobblehead Funko pop that I have so don't you worry I'm holding on to him. By the way I hate to rain on your parade producer Jay but it's been confirmed there is no season two of Obi-Wan. Oh really? I saw Ian said that he wanted to do it or like would do it if they asked him I guess they didn't ask him. You McGregor? You wouldn't yeah. Yeah no at this point no plans though he would love to but no plans.

He said he would love to. Oh that's upsetting. That is sorry to ruin your Wednesday morning. All right we've put it out there on social officially to ask you which team is in the absolute worst situation in the NFL and the more we talk about this the more names I come up with just to throw them into the pot. The Broncos in light of the fact that they have really no good options at quarterback. The Panthers.

The commanders. At least they picked number two overall. The Raiders. I like the momentum they had under Antonio Pierce but they don't have a quarterback either. The Titans. Well they no longer have Derrick Henry nor do they have an offensive line in front of Will Leviss.

Here's another one as we've been talking about it over the last couple hours Jay. The Patriots. Now I liked Jerrod Mayo.

A lot of people liked Jerrod Mayo and I do believe that Bob Kraft is committed to winning but they don't have a quarterback either and it could get worse before it gets better with the Patriots with the Pats. That's not my job. Ouch. Ouch. That's about as wrong as Jason Kelce sobbing over a man's genitalia. That's not my job. And Doug Peterson having the biggest balls in the stadium.

Say yeah let's do it. Most ill-timed ugly cry in the history of retirement speeches. Not great timing.

No not at all. This makes me laugh. First he talks about Nick Foles and his manly parts. I won't forget Nick Foles having the game of his life on the biggest stage possible and the biggest on the team going up to Doug Peterson and asking for the Philly Special and Doug Peterson having the biggest balls in the stadium. Say yeah let's do it. Can we please make that a Hall of Flamer?

A Hall of Flame candidate? The funny part is his wife says that she's the only one that heard the speech beforehand. Do you think she was like yeah babe do it exactly like that? Perfect line. Excellent delivery. That's how you gotta do it.

That's gonna be the talk of Philadelphia. You think when he was like doing the speech practicing it to his wife he was like start like he he was reading that part of the speech like he started it off like run through a wall like oh Nick Foles like Dick Peterson like biggest genitalia and then like I don't know he just got choked like he meant it to be like uh aggressive. I doubt he cried during that part but I'm sure that when he practiced he did cry. You think so?

Oh yeah I think so. I mean there yes emotional moments for instance and this is not the same thing but people who have to deliver a eulogy or something that's really emotional of course they will cry when they're practicing so I'm sure he did cry but over body parts the timing the timing was just impeccable and Doug Peterson having the biggest balls in the stadium to say yeah let's do it balls hey I've decided that coming up on a future show we have to ask people to share their ringtones people are responding about my ringtone mine's the ice cream truck what's yours Jay? Um I wouldn't know how to describe mine. All right well we're gonna have to play it at some point people are responding and telling us what their alarm tones are it's generic yeah it's pretty no it needs to be unique to you. I used to like kind of mess around with them because I would get so like annoyed or used to sometimes the one that I would so I would just like sleep through it I'd just immediately turn your father. I am your father immediately turn your father you wake me up no that would that would be good because I got to get up so I could I need a star wars alarm oh my gosh how about like r2d2 noises I don't know if that would work I might just imagine I was in a star wars movie the dream's a bucket list item it's after hours with Amy Lawrence on Twitter A-LOL radio our Facebook page too good morning to

can't tell by now I'm a little bit different even up here the more I think about like the lessons that I've taken from Bill hard work works all right hard work works and and that's what we're all about this is After Hours with Amy Lawrence Gerard Mayo played for Bill Belichick then coached under Bill Belichick and now takes over as first-time head coach in the NFL for a franchise that is no longer a dynasty and is trying to find a new identity and a new way forward now Gerard will have a lot to say about that for sure but they don't have a quarterback or at least one that's had a ton of success to this point they do actually have two under contract but will they go the quarterback route in the draft they pick number three that in and of itself is jarring to say as a Patriots fan they pick number three even when Belichick and the Patriots did not make the playoffs they still would be relatively competitive in the Brady era remember even the year well they made the playoffs with Brady but even the year that Brady tore his ACL and it was Matt Castle right that played the rest of the season they still had double figure wins if I remember correctly though they did miss the playoffs but for them to pick number three considering their recent history it's jarring Belichick always tried to move down anyway sometimes he would just back out of the first round and stockpile picks he was looking for value he's looking for versatile guys guys that could play multiple positions or that had skills that would fit the schemes and the sets that he wanted that he wanted to use and so this is a guy who didn't necessarily employ a draft strategy was common to what the other teams were doing they pick number three there are three at least three real good quarterbacks in this draft some would say there are five six starting quarterbacks in this draft what will be remaining though what will be available there's more and more people that believe the Patriots could get JJ McCarthy if that's what they wanted Jay just look this up this is awesome the last top 10 pick for the Pats was Gerard Mayo 10th in 2008 what a cool nerd alert Jay where did you get that from I just did a little research that's amazing our research our crack research staff behind the double pane glass love that the dynasty is out on Apple plus and I've seen a lot of tweets and Facebook posts from those of you who are watching it I don't know if it has appeal outside of New England but I know there are a lot of Patriots fans who are paying attention and some of you are angry at Bob Kraft and the way he portrays the dynasty and Bill Belichick but what caught our attention is this it's a montage so you hear the music first well you hear the background and you hear Bill Belichick's voice in a film session and Randy Moss and Matthew Slater talking about how Belichick treated Brady in film sessions as part of this this docu-series wide open don't see it end up getting sacked and should we have it yeah do we have it no I remember one time Bill tore Brady's head completely off decapitated Brady he said you guys are telling me that my hall of fame quarterback cannot complete a five yard out I mean the quarterback play here is just awful this stinks and I'm sitting there I'm sure my mouth was wide open because I'm like man that's Tom Brady this guy is one for Super Bowls but I think that speaks to Bill right to him nobody's bigger than the team he's gonna coach everybody the same because he feels like that's gonna give the team the best chance to have success and honestly he's not worried about hurting anybody's feelings he really doesn't care like if you're offended get out I'll find somebody else huh that is true it's what you hear about Bill Belichick from players who played under him but there were plenty of reports that it rankled Tom Brady that he was treated just like everybody else in film sessions uh and and yeah you hear both Randy Moss and Matthew Slater kind of imitating Belichick in the way that he eviscerated Brady at times but I don't know if I believe that it bothered him maybe it did just because he had a big ego right and he he believes he's the best of all time and and that's fine but I feel like I've heard Brady say that he was okay with that because he he recognized that Bill was trying to make him better that it wasn't personal so I guess maybe it was a little bit of both right there were times when it did bother him and all of us have a bad day nobody really likes to be ripped by a boss in front of everybody else I would say it happens to a lot of us whether it's a boardroom or in our case uh air checks or in an athlete's case film session but there's a really high standard for Bill Belichick and I do appreciate the fact that he and Brady were able to have this relationship a productive relationship for as long as they did which means that it may have rankled Brady at times but it still worked and Brady was willing to be coached he was willing to take criticism and that's a great leader right the humbleness humility I'm not perfect I'm either maybe the best that's ever done it but it's great to have a coach and even teammates who can see what I didn't see in that moment because that's only going to make me better right it's constructive criticism even if Belichick delivers it in a way that can be acertic acerbic that's called acidic what word am I looking for acerbic I feel like that's a word that I haven't used in a really long time well but it might not be right I'm gonna have to go back and uh and make sure that I didn't misuse it's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS Sports Radio there are definitely plenty of acerbic slash acidic people in the sports world some of you actually believe the Patriots are in the worst situation in the NFL right now but I do think there's hope around Gerard Mayo I do think that he's young he's got a lot of energy he obviously played as part of this Patriots dynasty so he understands the standard and he is part of Belichick's staff which means there's a good foundation there but we're asking you on both Twitter and Facebook formally I think we kind of threw it out there on our last show which team is in the worst possible position right now Dana says the Patriots if the rumors of Russell Wilson are true that he's coming here meaning to New England Mark says Broncos are slightly ahead of the Panthers Broncos in complete rebuild mode and and in bad shape for the cap they have a coach that thinks he's important and smarter than everyone I mean I think you probably apply that to a lot of coaches but he says the Panthers are right there the owner can't get out of the way long enough to let things happen and Bryce Young needs to make major improvements this year Larry goes with the Titans I actually think that's not far off Frank he chooses a team we did not put on the social media post that's the Jets it's never-ending so right now it's Panthers Broncos a little bit of Patriots mixed in Raiders I think the Raiders belong in that conversation too and the commanders though they do pick number two but we've seen them pick a quarterback in recent drafts and it it hasn't worked out what a mess if you don't have a quarterback very often you're just a big fat mess Vikings on that list if they don't get Kirk Cousins back well if they don't get Cousins sure yeah because right now they're picking what 11th in the draft I think they're 11 Broncos are 12 Raiders are 13 so there are three candidates right there that might be looking to to choose a rookie quarterback or to go with a rookie quarterback the problem is they're far enough down if they don't trade up that they they'll miss out on the top prospects the ones that are theoretically closer to making an impact on a field right away you're kind of a no-man's land right there hmm so no I think they are going to do whatever they can to keep Kirk Cousins Justin Jefferson they want to keep him well in order to keep him I'm thinking you're probably going to want to keep your your quarterback with whom he's established a rapport now if Patrick Mahomes was available Josh Allen was available okay JJ could upgrade but right now you've got a good thing going with Kirk you guys have put up pretty impressive number well he's put up great numbers some too true where else could you go if not Kirk Cousins then whom who could you possibly find that would be better than Kirk right now for the Vikings that's a legit question not rhetorical my house ain't for sale no it's not Russell Wilson Jay you know it's not Russell Wilson no I don't think he's better than Kirk Cousins but if Kirk Cousins leaves and goes to like Atlanta which seems to be a hot buzz right now um no way if you if you still kind of compete I wouldn't think I think the Vikings would try to get someone who's more proven rather than do the rookie route and where they're selecting unless they could trade up obviously but what would that cost do you think the Falcons are closer to winning than the Vikings the Vikings won the division with what was it 12 wins it just seems like Kirk wants to go there that's just all apparently he was house searching in Atlanta recently it's total rumor I can't I don't even remember where I saw why are you dropping it on the show because I just read it that's the headline you don't know if it's true or not it's a rumor speculation exactly I could say that about anybody I could say Justin Fields is house hunting in Atlanta oh they just throw it out there I heard it somewhere I think come on I can find the source I mean yes definitely do please find the source uh either way if they don't have Kirk Cousins they're definitely in a dire situation though they do have Justin Jefferson but I don't know who you can find who's going to be a better connection better at this point thrower than Kirk Cousins is have you found it okay he's looking all right so the crack research staff is on to a different topic which team in the worst situation we need a sit rep stat it's after hours with Amy Lawrence CBS Sports Radio you are listening

what he does to this team i thought we were playing really good football before he before he got injured and it's the most important position in sports now ultimately it always comes down to can you find an agreement that works for both sides and all those things but um as a player it's certainly my intention to have him back here this is after hours with amy lawrence i would say the buccaneers and the vikings are in similar situations but not exactly the same right because the general manager of the vikings is telling you how much they want kirk cousins back and i do believe that's true are there better quarterbacks in the nfl yes but has kirk had back-to-back really strong seasons yes in large part because of what we well i guess two and a half seasons in large part because of of his connection with justin jefferson and what we've seen uh since jefferson became one of the premier receivers in the nfl there is no doubt they want cousins back number one because the pickins are slim if you don't have cousins what do you do the broncos are in that same situation right now people keep asking me because i've been a broncos fan since age 13 what are they going to do a quarterback i have no flipping clue that's the problem i don't know what they're going to do a quarterback or where they can even begin to figure it out unless they're going to trade up in the draft but they don't really have the capital it's one of the reasons i never liked the russell wilson trade in the first place plus pete carroll was far too comfortable letting him go so the vikings can see the writing on the wall they recognize there are no better options out there than kurt cousins it's not pat mahomes available josh allen available what you have available is ryan tannahill jacobi brissette baker mayfield but as i say the bucks are in a similar position they bring back mike evans first of all he's a franchise player second of all they know that that's attractive to baker mayfield baker is expected to take free agent meetings during the legal tampering period or his agent is but he is expected to at least dip his toe in the water i've heard falcons i've heard patriots with baker mayfield which is interesting but the vikings understand they're kind of in no man's land and if they lose kurt cousins they are more likely to lose justin jefferson now he's still under contract but obviously would like a new deal he's at the tail end of his rookie contract would obviously like something new but if there's an unsettled situation at quarterback and it turns out to be bad this year for jefferson i know he was hurt last year obviously kurt cousins is coming off the achilles they want to keep those two guys together and if you get one you're more likely to keep the other not a done deal but you're more likely to keep the other it's after hours with amy lawrence on cbs sports radio many of you pointing to the panther situation now they do have a new head coach who's had great success as an oc speaking of buccaneers so the dave canalis piece of the panthers could really improve bryce young the problem is they don't have a whole lot around him so of course the panthers are in a tough situation because if you leave your very young quarterback on an island all by himself well he's likely to get hurt not to mention his development is stunted because there's not a whole lot of reason for confidence and improvement but in that same division the falcons they don't find one of these quarterbacks right so if they don't lure baker away from could you imagine if baker went that would be really interesting anyway if they don't lure baker away from the bucks that's one guy they're interested in or you know baker maybe has mutual interest and they can't get kurt cousins from the vikings well where do they go raheem morris knows without a qb well they're still sol uh spencer and producer jay have sourced the story about kurt cousins house hunting so that you know it didn't come from me and jay didn't make it up from mike florio of pro football talk he's citing sources that are in the know i just take everything with a grain of salt but i wouldn't be surprised if cousins and his team are doing their due diligence though they don't stay in minneapolis well where else would they go right which is that raheem morris is very well respected around the nfl and there are a lot of good pieces good young pieces in atlanta well and he's certainly not going back to washington so we know that's not happening can you imagine no i cannot imagine like that even no even if it's dan quinn i can't imagine no gary says the colts are in a worse situation he says it's been nothing but crickets from the owner for quite a while actually what do you mean the owner did an interview on serious xm nfl radio on tuesday what are you talking about uh michael pittman got the franchise tag so tuesday was the deadline and uh jim ursay was at the combine and he says they're not giving up on pitman pit will be a cult um you know one way or the other and but we're we'd like to get a long-term extension look anytime you can you want a reward um and he's got to fit into what you're doing but you want to reward your own guys you want to reward the guys that you know that have produced and done things right and pit has pit has done that so we're working hard to get that done i'm sorry did you tell me jim ursay crickets look there he is talking about michael pittman pit will be a cult pit will be a cult pit will be a cult uh lisa on twitter a law radio says the jets uh they're running back i don't think so uh there she says they are running back oh i thought she meant running back they are running back aaron rogers and their offensive line needs to replace at least three guys good luck with that oh and then she sends me a tweet follow-up i don't mean they're going to play okay i was kind of confused i guess i should have read the follow-up tweet it was a two-parter uh so lisa goes with the jets jay what do you think which team is in the the worst situation i still think it's the panthers yeah i mean i know they got the number one overall pick from last year but i don't think he looked all that tremendous and then how could he though how could he but how can he this year when they don't have any other draft picks or any they've been doing anything to put him around him again free agency i don't know what their cap situation looks like but who's rushing to go play there yeah that's the problem is unless you have some dave canalis disciples are there such a thing it's a tough place to sell to free agents and unless they can back up the wait brinks or banks brinks as as always i have zero experience with banking and money trucks uh so unless they can back up the truck give him a bag is that he gets he needs a bag you gotta give someone a bag if they want i should never say these things ever i don't know how much exactly that is though how much is the bag i don't know is it any amount of money there's gotta be that makes you rich like you gotta like if it hits over a certain amount now it's a bag are you sure i i'm not at all okay it's gotta be right clearly it doesn't apply to either of us so i don't know why we're talking about it no bags i'm not even half a bag not even a quarter bag i don't even have any money in a bag bag not fly free here i have a little bit of money in a sock that's about it it's a true story actually uh no not under my mattress in a sock i said and it's not in my sock drawer it's hidden uh james goes with the stealers on facebook but he says the broncos sheesh oh okay so the stealers are in a worse situation but the broncos sheesh uh roland says i'd go with the broncos finding a qb is like painting in the line slow and steady research he says new england's in a tough situation but i'd like to have fields by a trade i heard about that that's interesting brian says as long as we have dak the cowboys have no hope mary goes with the da bears but i disagree with that even if they part ways with justin fields they'll get a draft pick in return they've got two picks in the top 10 and if one of their picks is caleb williams there's gonna be a lot of excitement around them actually diana says the giants are in the worst situation overpaid danny dimes saquon will walk no real direction in a tough division wah wah wah on that note enjoy your hump day giants fans and the rest of you it's after hours with amy lawrence cbs sports radio boom for the past 20 years you've enjoyed
