This is the House of L podcast. I am Lawrence Holmes. Thank you so much for hanging out here with me on today's episode

I appreciate the love that you've been showing the sports adjacent podcast. Check out their latest episode. Scroll back through so you can listen to all of the ridiculousness of that particular podcast at this point. I'm wondering can we even hold on to Russ Dorsey? No, he's a man now. You're the man now, dog. I didn't do that in my best shot Connery. You're all the man now, dog. Yeah, he's out here in these streets.

Getting paid. I love to see telling you that young man's career that on it that on it. I don't know if they have it on fan do whatever, but you're like, yes, put $50 on Russell Dorsey's career. It's a good idea.

We are brought to you by Realio's pizza. Realio's pizza.com. It's the sauce. Really great pizza.

I love it. The sweet sauce with the melted different cheeses and the fresh ingredients. The really fantastic desserts. There's they have this cinnamon dough.

So you're not satisfied with your incredible pizza. Then you can be like, let me get this dough on.

They got like chocolate cake and stuff too, but I'm just saying dip in the cinnamon dough. That's the living right there.

Realio's in Homewood has the original oven, but you can go to Mochino or new Linux or Frankfurt.

Tenly. I usually like sometimes actually I used to do that. The one that's on 159th at Oak Park Avenue, use running there, love their little setup, boom, boom, boom.

Give my pizza get right back on 57 and get back to the south side. Realio's pizza. It's the sauce.

I wanted to talk about this Kyler Murray thing. Dan and I talked about it on the show, but I've been thinking about it since then.

And there's a bunch of different issues inside of this that I want to discuss.

And hopefully you'll come along the ride with me on this.

Because I don't think anybody looks good in this situation. Let me explain.

For those of you who don't know, the Cardinal signed Murray to a multi-year extension, which if you have a quarterback that's worth anything at all, you're going to do that.

And he is. He's pretty good. I personally don't believe in him.

I don't think that he's a championship quarterback, but I understand that getting quarterback play.

It's at a premium. It's at a real premium. So if you got a guy that you think might turn the light switch on and get you deep into the playoffs, I understand having to sign him to an extension.

And then there's a couple of clauses that are inside of his contract. One of the clauses is, hey, man, you're going to stop flirting with baseball.

We're going to get you this money, but you're going to stop with the I might go play baseball stuff. I understand that.

It was a measure of leverage that Kyler had that really no other player had, Russell Wilson jokes about playing baseball, but he wasn't the level of prospect that Kyler Murray was.

Kyler Murray was taking in the first round. He had guaranteed what seven figures on the table from Oakland. I'm sure he's glad that he did not play for that.
