1
00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:09,626
Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Scheger is a production of the

2
00:00:09,786 --> 00:00:25,066
Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's Up, everybody, Welcome to

3
00:00:25,106 --> 00:00:28,306
Speaker 1: the Season with Peter Schreger. We're off last week, we're

4
00:00:28,386 --> 00:00:31,266
Speaker 1: back on this week. We're recording this on a Wednesday

5
00:00:31,506 --> 00:00:35,306
Speaker 1: around three o'clock, and the Jets and the Giants just

6
00:00:35,386 --> 00:00:39,146
Speaker 1: finished a joint practice that looked like it was electric

7
00:00:39,466 --> 00:00:42,626
Speaker 1: and it was a good preview for the Jets Giants

8
00:00:42,706 --> 00:00:45,706
Speaker 1: game on Saturday night, which I don't know if I'm

9
00:00:45,706 --> 00:00:48,506
Speaker 1: announcing any news here. Andrew Marshand of the New York

10
00:00:48,506 --> 00:00:50,546
Speaker 1: Post or the Athletic wherever he's at now has not

11
00:00:50,586 --> 00:00:52,866
Speaker 1: reported it. No one's reported it. I will be in

12
00:00:52,906 --> 00:00:58,906
Speaker 1: the broadcast booth for Jets Giants pre season. This is

13
00:00:59,266 --> 00:01:02,106
Speaker 1: as silly as this might sound to some, This is

14
00:01:02,146 --> 00:01:04,866
Speaker 1: a pretty cool ass dream come true for me. I

15
00:01:04,946 --> 00:01:08,626
Speaker 1: grew up watching the Jets preseason, the Giants preseason my

16
00:01:08,746 --> 00:01:13,186
Speaker 1: entire life. I worked Jets preseason games a couple years back,

17
00:01:13,586 --> 00:01:15,626
Speaker 1: didn't do it the last couple of years. Anthony Beck

18
00:01:15,706 --> 00:01:17,746
Speaker 1: did the first couple of games. Couldn't do this game.

19
00:01:17,866 --> 00:01:21,866
Speaker 1: So late last week I got a call asking if

20
00:01:21,866 --> 00:01:25,346
Speaker 1: I'll be in the booth and I'm like as a

21
00:01:25,786 --> 00:01:30,106
Speaker 1: play by play guy, as a color guy, as a

22
00:01:30,186 --> 00:01:32,906
Speaker 1: sideline reporter, and they were like, no Iron Eagles to

23
00:01:32,906 --> 00:01:34,946
Speaker 1: play by play guy, You idiot, You could just come

24
00:01:34,946 --> 00:01:40,026
Speaker 1: in and give some color. So I've been studying NonStop Jets, Roster, Giants, roster,

25
00:01:40,146 --> 00:01:43,626
Speaker 1: and I will be on the broadcast Saturday night. But

26
00:01:44,586 --> 00:01:46,986
Speaker 1: it's been a crazy couple weeks in the NFL, and

27
00:01:47,026 --> 00:01:50,826
Speaker 1: I'm here with my great producer, slash co host in

28
00:01:50,866 --> 00:01:55,426
Speaker 1: many ways, mister Aaron wan Kaufman and Aaron, I'm gonna

29
00:01:55,786 --> 00:01:58,786
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you my weekend event and then I'm

30
00:01:58,786 --> 00:02:00,666
Speaker 1: gonna ask you about what you did over the weekend,

31
00:02:00,706 --> 00:02:04,866
Speaker 1: because I feel like both are intertwined in a way

32
00:02:05,026 --> 00:02:12,026
Speaker 1: of sports soelebrity and maybe spinning the spinning it forward

33
00:02:12,026 --> 00:02:17,346
Speaker 1: a little bit as where this whole confluence of sports

34
00:02:17,346 --> 00:02:21,506
Speaker 1: and celebrity and in many ways, I guess culture and

35
00:02:21,706 --> 00:02:26,786
Speaker 1: zeitgeist come together. So obviously I've done NFL stuff for years.

36
00:02:27,186 --> 00:02:29,506
Speaker 1: I had an opportunity to go to the Masters this

37
00:02:29,626 --> 00:02:32,106
Speaker 1: year in August which was a dream come true. I'd

38
00:02:32,146 --> 00:02:34,546
Speaker 1: never been to Augusta. It was like bucket list. It

39
00:02:34,586 --> 00:02:36,546
Speaker 1: was amazing. And when I was there, there was a

40
00:02:36,546 --> 00:02:39,346
Speaker 1: private concert for a musician that I did not know

41
00:02:39,426 --> 00:02:44,466
Speaker 1: much about. And this musician's name is jelly Roll. Jelly

42
00:02:44,546 --> 00:02:47,986
Speaker 1: Roll performed at this masters party that I was at,

43
00:02:48,066 --> 00:02:53,546
Speaker 1: and it was awesome. I was blown away. Fast forward

44
00:02:53,586 --> 00:02:56,306
Speaker 1: a couple months later, I'm playing in a golf tournament

45
00:02:56,746 --> 00:03:00,626
Speaker 1: and I meet this guy who is an agent and

46
00:03:00,666 --> 00:03:05,106
Speaker 1: he represents different country music artists, and he starts talking

47
00:03:05,106 --> 00:03:07,946
Speaker 1: about how he works with Zach Bryan and he works

48
00:03:07,946 --> 00:03:10,626
Speaker 1: with Kenny Chesney and all these guys, and I'm like,

49
00:03:10,626 --> 00:03:14,186
Speaker 1: this is awesome. I go I roll with jelly Roll

50
00:03:14,466 --> 00:03:17,546
Speaker 1: and he's like, totally get it. Jelly Roll is awesome.

51
00:03:18,106 --> 00:03:20,986
Speaker 1: I know his guys too. All right, great, so I

52
00:03:21,066 --> 00:03:25,386
Speaker 1: catch word that's serious, Sirius XM, Sirius La, Howard Stern,

53
00:03:25,466 --> 00:03:27,106
Speaker 1: the whole thing, call me daddy, whatever you want to

54
00:03:27,146 --> 00:03:32,106
Speaker 1: call it. They're having a concert and the concert is

55
00:03:32,186 --> 00:03:34,626
Speaker 1: going to be out on the Eastern Tip, a long Island,

56
00:03:34,626 --> 00:03:38,186
Speaker 1: at a place called Stephen Talkhouse. Now Stephen Talkhouse is

57
00:03:38,226 --> 00:03:43,146
Speaker 1: a small bar, probably capacity of five hundred people. And

58
00:03:43,466 --> 00:03:47,786
Speaker 1: in this small bar, in this small concert venue, jelly

59
00:03:47,866 --> 00:03:51,026
Speaker 1: rolls performing. I have to immediately get on my text chain.

60
00:03:51,026 --> 00:03:52,866
Speaker 1: I'm asking anybody can I get tickets since I want

61
00:03:52,906 --> 00:03:54,346
Speaker 1: to see Jelly Roll. I want to go see jelly Roll.

62
00:03:54,346 --> 00:03:56,986
Speaker 1: Sure enough, I get tickets to go see jelly Roll.

63
00:03:56,986 --> 00:03:59,266
Speaker 1: I bring my wife, I bring our friends. We have

64
00:03:59,306 --> 00:04:02,066
Speaker 1: two friends, the Zips. They're into see live music. We

65
00:04:02,186 --> 00:04:04,706
Speaker 1: head out there. There's a tent in the back. We

66
00:04:04,746 --> 00:04:06,866
Speaker 1: go to the Jelly Roll concert and is like this

67
00:04:07,026 --> 00:04:10,546
Speaker 1: like great anticipation. And as we're walking into Jelly Roll,

68
00:04:11,266 --> 00:04:20,506
Speaker 1: Aaron Jimmy Fallon rolls through, Howard Stern, rolls through Bradley Cooper,

69
00:04:20,826 --> 00:04:26,346
Speaker 1: rolls through John Hamm, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Sean Hayes,

70
00:04:26,426 --> 00:04:29,306
Speaker 1: the smartlest guys. They're all with serious now. All of

71
00:04:29,346 --> 00:04:32,346
Speaker 1: a sudden, then it's Baba Booie from The Howard Stern Show,

72
00:04:32,866 --> 00:04:36,626
Speaker 1: and then it's Rosanna Scatto from local Fox five, and

73
00:04:36,706 --> 00:04:40,026
Speaker 1: I'm like, everyone's here to see the jelly Jelly Roll

74
00:04:40,146 --> 00:04:44,666
Speaker 1: comes on. I am not exaggerating. I think it's one

75
00:04:44,666 --> 00:04:47,746
Speaker 1: of the best concerts I've ever been to. Small value,

76
00:04:48,066 --> 00:04:53,706
Speaker 1: small venue, little backyard tent. Action comes out plays I'm

77
00:04:53,706 --> 00:04:56,946
Speaker 1: not Okay, one of his favorites. He plays Garth Brooks

78
00:04:56,946 --> 00:05:00,666
Speaker 1: Friends in Low Places, plays Lonely Road, which is a

79
00:05:00,706 --> 00:05:03,626
Speaker 1: cover of Country Roads by John Denver, but it's his

80
00:05:03,666 --> 00:05:06,946
Speaker 1: own spin on it. Plays Nita Fa, which is his

81
00:05:06,946 --> 00:05:09,626
Speaker 1: biggest hit, plays That Saved Me. Then he does this

82
00:05:10,066 --> 00:05:14,906
Speaker 1: whole section of covers where he's playing Biz Marquis. Then

83
00:05:14,946 --> 00:05:17,666
Speaker 1: he goes into Hoodie and the Blowfish Let Her Cry,

84
00:05:17,746 --> 00:05:21,826
Speaker 1: which was like unbelievable. I'm trying to think one of

85
00:05:21,866 --> 00:05:24,586
Speaker 1: the covers he did because he was like, oh Green Day,

86
00:05:24,666 --> 00:05:30,026
Speaker 1: good riddance. Like this guy is so talented. It's an

87
00:05:30,106 --> 00:05:33,746
Speaker 1: hour long, maybe maybe ninety minutes long. He doesn't stop

88
00:05:34,146 --> 00:05:36,906
Speaker 1: in the middle of it. He's just like, I got

89
00:05:36,906 --> 00:05:39,466
Speaker 1: to stop the concert right now. He's like, I am

90
00:05:39,506 --> 00:05:44,426
Speaker 1: a white trash kid from Nashville, Tennessee, and I am

91
00:05:44,426 --> 00:05:47,546
Speaker 1: performing in New York right now, and I am watching

92
00:05:47,626 --> 00:05:52,386
Speaker 1: Howard Stern watch me perform, and this is so surreal.

93
00:05:52,946 --> 00:05:55,506
Speaker 1: He's like, I went on Howard Show last year and

94
00:05:55,546 --> 00:05:58,106
Speaker 1: it was a bucket list item. So he's like kissing

95
00:05:58,466 --> 00:06:01,546
Speaker 1: the ring and paying tribute to the throne, and I'm

96
00:06:01,586 --> 00:06:04,706
Speaker 1: like twenty feet away now, twenty feet I'm probably so

97
00:06:04,826 --> 00:06:07,626
Speaker 1: Howard's in like VIP area and I've never seen Howard

98
00:06:07,626 --> 00:06:11,906
Speaker 1: Stern in person, and like, Howard Stern to me is,

99
00:06:12,906 --> 00:06:15,226
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Rogan might be the guy now or

100
00:06:15,466 --> 00:06:17,346
Speaker 1: Theo Vaughn might be the guy now, but if you're

101
00:06:17,386 --> 00:06:22,306
Speaker 1: talking like interviewer and cultural zeitgeist, and like the guy,

102
00:06:22,786 --> 00:06:26,346
Speaker 1: Howard Stern is my hero. Like the way he interviews

103
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:29,266
Speaker 1: people is unlike anyone else, and he can do it

104
00:06:29,306 --> 00:06:32,426
Speaker 1: with such an art. Now I'm not as into the

105
00:06:32,466 --> 00:06:34,586
Speaker 1: stuff that used to be on you know, a little

106
00:06:34,586 --> 00:06:36,146
Speaker 1: bit vulgar and all that like, and i think Howard's

107
00:06:36,186 --> 00:06:37,786
Speaker 1: kind of steered away from that as too. And I

108
00:06:37,826 --> 00:06:39,386
Speaker 1: love the whack pack and all of that, but it's

109
00:06:39,426 --> 00:06:43,066
Speaker 1: from just pure interviewing standpoint. No one better than Howard Stern.

110
00:06:44,266 --> 00:06:46,946
Speaker 1: He's about one hundred feet away and I'm with my

111
00:06:47,026 --> 00:06:49,226
Speaker 1: wife Erica, and I'm looking at him and like she

112
00:06:49,386 --> 00:06:52,706
Speaker 1: knows me. She's like, you're not gonna make I'm like,

113
00:06:52,746 --> 00:06:54,626
Speaker 1: hell no, I'm not going like this guy right now,

114
00:06:54,746 --> 00:06:56,186
Speaker 1: like just to be in the same pay I'm not

115
00:06:56,226 --> 00:06:57,786
Speaker 1: saying a word to him. He was also like in

116
00:06:57,826 --> 00:07:00,826
Speaker 1: a VIP area behind a red carpet, like behind a

117
00:07:00,866 --> 00:07:02,946
Speaker 1: red velvet rope. So I'm like I'm not messing with it,

118
00:07:03,506 --> 00:07:07,746
Speaker 1: but I to see Howard in person was surreal than

119
00:07:07,786 --> 00:07:12,146
Speaker 1: to see Howard appreciating Jelly Roll was unbelievable. Now, where's

120
00:07:12,146 --> 00:07:15,466
Speaker 1: the football tiant? Because everyone else was at preseason games. Trigger,

121
00:07:15,506 --> 00:07:16,866
Speaker 1: what the hell are you doing at a Jelly Roll

122
00:07:16,946 --> 00:07:22,186
Speaker 1: concert out in Montalk. Well, here's the tiant. Turns out

123
00:07:22,266 --> 00:07:25,986
Speaker 1: Jelly's a huge football fan. Jelly loves ball. That got

124
00:07:26,026 --> 00:07:29,426
Speaker 1: back to me. I didn't see Jelly Roll after the concert.

125
00:07:29,466 --> 00:07:31,426
Speaker 1: There was an opportunity. I was like, we're getting out

126
00:07:31,426 --> 00:07:33,306
Speaker 1: of here, it's a mob scene. We'll leave in whatever.

127
00:07:33,866 --> 00:07:36,186
Speaker 1: But I have since had correspondence with some of Jelly

128
00:07:36,266 --> 00:07:39,346
Speaker 1: Rolls people, and it turns out he is a huge

129
00:07:39,346 --> 00:07:42,666
Speaker 1: fan of ball. Titans obviously there and there grew up,

130
00:07:42,906 --> 00:07:46,146
Speaker 1: big football fan, big guy, obviously four hundred pounds whatever,

131
00:07:46,186 --> 00:07:49,146
Speaker 1: he is three point fifty. I love the dude. Big

132
00:07:49,186 --> 00:07:51,906
Speaker 1: New York Times article on him this weekend also, But

133
00:07:52,266 --> 00:07:57,626
Speaker 1: here is my plea Aaron, we've done hip hop, We've

134
00:07:57,666 --> 00:08:01,346
Speaker 1: done rock. Who sang at the halftime show this year

135
00:08:01,386 --> 00:08:03,466
Speaker 1: in Vegas? Was the Bruno Mars again? Who'd we bring

136
00:08:03,506 --> 00:08:06,746
Speaker 1: out this year? I don't know who was usher? Was it?

137
00:08:07,346 --> 00:08:11,426
Speaker 1: We've done usher, am I allowed to say this? How

138
00:08:11,426 --> 00:08:14,426
Speaker 1: about we bring in some modern country? How about we?

139
00:08:14,586 --> 00:08:16,186
Speaker 1: I mean, and look, if you want to bring in

140
00:08:16,466 --> 00:08:18,746
Speaker 1: classic country too, and you want to pay respect to

141
00:08:18,786 --> 00:08:21,146
Speaker 1: the heroes they always like to bring out, Like all right, well,

142
00:08:21,146 --> 00:08:22,506
Speaker 1: if we're gonna do hip hop, we have to also

143
00:08:22,586 --> 00:08:24,866
Speaker 1: bring out Doctor Dre and Snoop. If we're gonna do this,

144
00:08:24,906 --> 00:08:26,786
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring rock. We gotta bring out this classic

145
00:08:26,986 --> 00:08:30,706
Speaker 1: you know, Madonna's gotta gotta come out too. Here's my

146
00:08:30,906 --> 00:08:35,266
Speaker 1: here's my pitch to the NFL New Orleans. Okay, short

147
00:08:35,306 --> 00:08:38,466
Speaker 1: of bringing out Master p and Harry Connock Junior. I

148
00:08:38,466 --> 00:08:40,586

00:08:40,666 --> 00:08:44,226
Speaker 1: you know artist, I would say, let's come out there.

Speaker 1: as an NFL employee, and I know they're getting this

176
00:09:54,386 --> 00:09:58,626
Speaker 1: from a thousand different directions. Let's go country this year.

177
00:09:59,226 --> 00:10:01,346
Speaker 1: This is coming from a New Yorker, the New Yorker

178
00:10:01,386 --> 00:10:04,186
Speaker 1: who respects, you know, the two coasts a whole lot

179
00:10:04,386 --> 00:10:06,906
Speaker 1: and I'm not usually this guy. I'm telling you, I

180
00:10:06,906 --> 00:10:10,586
Speaker 1: watched this jelly roll captivate a Long Island, New York

181
00:10:10,626 --> 00:10:14,986
Speaker 1: crowd filled with celebrities and a hoy poloid whatever we

182
00:10:15,066 --> 00:10:16,866
Speaker 1: call it. Like I saw it. I watched in my

00:10:16,866 --> 00:10:21,506
Speaker 1: own two eyes at Howard Stern is getting into jelly roll.

184
00:10:21,546 --> 00:10:30,986
Speaker 1: That means everyone in between can as well. So that

185
00:10:31,186 --> 00:10:34,306
Speaker 1: was my weekend. I'm going to talk football in a second,

186
00:10:34,866 --> 00:10:37,706
Speaker 1: but Aaron, well, all that was going on my timeline

187
00:10:37,906 --> 00:10:41,866
Speaker 1: was being assaulted by content from this thing at the

188
00:10:41,946 --> 00:10:46,906
Speaker 1: Javit Center that I'll be honest not a sports collectibles guy.

189
00:10:47,666 --> 00:10:50,786
Speaker 1: I've interacted with several athletes. I don't know if I'm

190
00:10:50,786 --> 00:10:54,106
Speaker 1: waiting on a line behind one hundred different people dressed

191
00:10:54,146 --> 00:10:57,066
Speaker 1: in Aaron Judge jerseys to go catch a sniff of

192
00:10:57,666 --> 00:11:00,666
Speaker 1: Mike Diego and Carney Lansford signing autographs. Tell me about

193
00:11:00,666 --> 00:11:02,506
Speaker 1: Fanatics Fest and what that was, because I know you

194
00:11:02,546 --> 00:11:03,306
Speaker 1: were in attendance.

195
00:11:04,186 --> 00:11:06,346
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was there on Friday. I did not

196
00:11:06,506 --> 00:11:08,586
Speaker 2: go for the entire weekend, but I was there Friday.

197
00:11:08,946 --> 00:11:12,746
Speaker 2: iHeart was recording, and first of all, like we set

198
00:11:12,826 --> 00:11:14,986
Speaker 2: up and I was just in the area where there

199
00:11:15,026 --> 00:11:17,986
Speaker 2: were like the NFL had a space, iHeart had a

200
00:11:18,026 --> 00:11:21,146
Speaker 2: space and we were just recording and I was like, okay,

201
00:11:21,186 --> 00:11:24,386
Speaker 2: this is interesting, it's not that big. And then our

202
00:11:24,426 --> 00:11:27,386
Speaker 2: other producer, Jason was like, you have to go past

203
00:11:27,466 --> 00:11:29,786
Speaker 2: that other room, go into the other room, and then

204
00:11:29,826 --> 00:11:30,826
Speaker 2: you walk into.

205
00:11:30,626 --> 00:11:34,146
Speaker 1: This there's like the VIP DP.

206
00:11:34,626 --> 00:11:37,226
Speaker 2: No, no, no, this isn't VIP. This is like for the

207
00:11:37,266 --> 00:11:40,946
Speaker 2: general audience. There's a separate Like I was in the

208
00:11:40,986 --> 00:11:43,506
Speaker 2: offshoot room and you go into the main room and

209
00:11:43,546 --> 00:11:48,306
Speaker 2: it's like just tables and tables and tables of people

210
00:11:49,306 --> 00:11:52,786
Speaker 2: selling sports cards and surprisingly a lot of Pokemon cards.

211
00:11:52,826 --> 00:11:55,866
Speaker 2: I guess Pokemon cards are like very tied in with

212
00:11:55,946 --> 00:12:00,226
Speaker 2: sports cards in yes, exactly, and so like you would

213
00:12:00,266 --> 00:12:03,866
Speaker 2: have here's someone with like I don't know, forty five

214
00:12:04,026 --> 00:12:09,906
Speaker 2: boxes of tops ninety two, you know whatever, baseball cards

215
00:12:09,986 --> 00:12:13,946
Speaker 2: and then like the nineteen ninety eight edition.

216
00:12:13,746 --> 00:12:16,346
Speaker 1: I've got that. You got that pass pat LISTATUE Rookie,

217
00:12:16,386 --> 00:12:16,906
Speaker 1: I've got it.

218
00:12:17,706 --> 00:12:20,186
Speaker 2: And so I mean, as a as a little kid,

219
00:12:20,306 --> 00:12:24,106
Speaker 2: I had some baseball cards, and I had some football cards,

220
00:12:24,146 --> 00:12:27,786
Speaker 2: and definitely basketball cards. I don't think any of them

221
00:12:28,306 --> 00:12:31,906
Speaker 2: wound up anywhere other than like in a fat rubber

222
00:12:31,946 --> 00:12:33,426
Speaker 2: band or in a shoe.

223
00:12:33,186 --> 00:12:35,626
Speaker 1: Box, or in my father's generation, they were in the

224
00:12:35,746 --> 00:12:37,866
Speaker 1: spokes of your bike in like a wheel.

225
00:12:37,986 --> 00:12:42,466
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I was shocked at how expensive these all were.

226
00:12:42,506 --> 00:12:47,266
Speaker 2: And I I there was also one person selling comic books,

227
00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:48,626
Speaker 2: which was like I was like, oh, well you have

228
00:12:48,706 --> 00:12:52,746
Speaker 2: like original the original Spider Man issue number one, or

229
00:12:52,786 --> 00:12:55,106
Speaker 2: like this is Superman's first appear. They didn't have that one.

230
00:12:55,146 --> 00:12:57,546
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was wild.

231
00:12:57,746 --> 00:13:00,466
Speaker 1: The collect it's all like because we used to go.

232
00:13:00,506 --> 00:13:02,186
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, I used to go to

233
00:13:02,226 --> 00:13:04,466
Speaker 1: card shows as a kid. You go to a card

234
00:13:04,506 --> 00:13:07,746
Speaker 1: show and there would just be tables after tables, and

235
00:13:07,786 --> 00:13:10,386
Speaker 1: it's like here they are in cases. And some of

236
00:13:10,386 --> 00:13:12,386
Speaker 1: the guys are professional collectors and some of them are

237
00:13:12,466 --> 00:13:15,266
Speaker 1: just like amateurs. Like I used to go to you know,

238
00:13:15,346 --> 00:13:18,346
Speaker 1: the Howell flea Market in New Jersey and like every Sunday,

239
00:13:18,626 --> 00:13:21,786
Speaker 1: this guy Avery's Comics had all the cards, and like

240
00:13:21,906 --> 00:13:23,666
Speaker 1: you would go and you'd buy a starting lineup that

241
00:13:23,666 --> 00:13:25,546
Speaker 1: hadn't been opened from a couple of years ago, and like,

242
00:13:25,586 --> 00:13:28,266
Speaker 1: look I got the I got the Mark Rippin starting

243
00:13:28,306 --> 00:13:31,626
Speaker 1: lineup for thirty dollars, but it was in KB two

244
00:13:31,706 --> 00:13:34,106
Speaker 1: years ago at for ten dollars, Like right, right, well,

245
00:13:34,146 --> 00:13:35,826
Speaker 1: what are we looking at here? If you're telling me

246
00:13:35,866 --> 00:13:37,866
Speaker 1: how expensive these things are? Are these like to the

247
00:13:37,866 --> 00:13:39,466
Speaker 1: next level that I wouldn't even imagine.

248
00:13:40,066 --> 00:13:42,986
Speaker 2: So I took some pictures of some of the various cards,

249
00:13:43,026 --> 00:13:46,946
Speaker 2: so mostly football cards there are. I did not realize

250
00:13:46,986 --> 00:13:50,346
Speaker 2: how expansive this market is. But there are like different

251
00:13:50,586 --> 00:13:54,746
Speaker 2: holographic versions of the same Beijon rookie card, or there's

252
00:13:54,826 --> 00:13:57,906
Speaker 2: one you know not to be not to poke a

253
00:13:57,946 --> 00:14:01,586
Speaker 2: player who's maybe down right now, so like no, there's

254
00:14:01,626 --> 00:14:04,386
Speaker 2: there's a Matt Jones one that's like and it says

255
00:14:04,386 --> 00:14:07,746
Speaker 2: like bombastic and he's like in the photo, and I

256
00:14:07,786 --> 00:14:09,546
Speaker 2: was like, you couldn't have picked like a photo of

257
00:14:09,626 --> 00:14:13,466
Speaker 2: him throwing the ball, like give him something. But they

258
00:14:13,506 --> 00:14:15,426
Speaker 2: also have a ton of old cards, Like there are

259
00:14:15,466 --> 00:14:18,506
Speaker 2: cards that, like you said, your dad probably opened and

260
00:14:18,586 --> 00:14:21,986
Speaker 2: had in his bike, except someone else's dad didn't put

261
00:14:21,986 --> 00:14:23,986
Speaker 2: it in the bike, and now it's worth four grand

262
00:14:24,106 --> 00:14:28,306
Speaker 2: or something. Yeah, So there are a lot of new cards.

263
00:14:28,466 --> 00:14:33,946
Speaker 2: There were entire boxes of only Caitlin Clark cards. There

264
00:14:33,986 --> 00:14:34,946
Speaker 2: were there.

265
00:14:34,786 --> 00:14:40,026
Speaker 1: Were so many women's basketball WNBA cards.

266
00:14:40,306 --> 00:14:42,866
Speaker 2: There are so many basketball cards that just have Wemby

267
00:14:42,986 --> 00:14:45,226
Speaker 2: as just like he is the selling.

268
00:14:44,946 --> 00:14:47,626
Speaker 1: Point questions for some question, Yeah, do they still have

269
00:14:47,666 --> 00:14:50,146
Speaker 1: Beckett magazine? Does that still exist? Did you see any

270
00:14:50,226 --> 00:14:52,906
Speaker 1: Beckett magazines around? That's where we used to have in

271
00:14:53,026 --> 00:14:55,186
Speaker 1: every month at Summer Camp. You'd get in the mail

272
00:14:55,226 --> 00:14:57,866
Speaker 1: of package and the Beckett magazine would have a little

273
00:14:57,906 --> 00:15:01,026
Speaker 1: green arrow up or down based on your card's value,

274
00:15:01,146 --> 00:15:02,906
Speaker 1: and they had every card ever made. I don't know

275
00:15:02,906 --> 00:15:04,466
Speaker 1: if Beckett still exists.

276
00:15:04,826 --> 00:15:07,706
Speaker 2: Uh, it's supposed it's got websites still. I don't know

277
00:15:07,746 --> 00:15:10,706
Speaker 2: if it exists in magazine form. It does actually still

278
00:15:10,746 --> 00:15:14,026
Speaker 2: just one dollar an issue. Great, yeah, so it must

279
00:15:14,026 --> 00:15:17,026
Speaker 2: still be a thing. But I have to imagine. I

280
00:15:17,346 --> 00:15:20,266
Speaker 2: talked to some of the people who ran stores, and

281
00:15:20,306 --> 00:15:22,786
Speaker 2: there were people from all over the country, like there

282
00:15:22,786 --> 00:15:25,026
Speaker 2: were I talked to one woman who her store was

283
00:15:25,066 --> 00:15:28,066
Speaker 2: two stops away in Manhattan, and I talked to some

284
00:15:28,066 --> 00:15:30,346
Speaker 2: people who had come from like Georgia, and it was

285
00:15:30,386 --> 00:15:35,386
Speaker 2: just like wow, And they said that this market blew

286
00:15:35,506 --> 00:15:38,866
Speaker 2: up over COVID for whatever reason, like people were stuck

287
00:15:38,946 --> 00:15:41,546
Speaker 2: inside and suddenly it was about buying collectibles and it

288
00:15:41,586 --> 00:15:44,666
Speaker 2: was about like opening it on stream and saying I

289
00:15:44,746 --> 00:15:49,626
Speaker 2: have this box of flear you know, two twenty one

290
00:15:50,386 --> 00:15:52,866
Speaker 2: NBA cards and let's see what rookies I'm going to

291
00:15:52,946 --> 00:15:56,186
Speaker 2: open here, and like pulling them each individually. It was

292
00:15:56,466 --> 00:16:01,586
Speaker 2: wild and it's not anything that I collect or buy,

293
00:16:01,706 --> 00:16:05,026
Speaker 2: So I was just seeing and.

294
00:16:04,946 --> 00:16:07,026
Speaker 1: I knew it was big because I see Aaron raveled,

295
00:16:07,146 --> 00:16:09,986
Speaker 1: like started a whole company around it. I see Michael

296
00:16:10,026 --> 00:16:12,346
Speaker 1: Rubins involved. Any time he's involved, it feels like it's

297
00:16:12,346 --> 00:16:16,266
Speaker 1: glowing up. And obviously fanatics Meiss was a part of that.

298
00:16:16,266 --> 00:16:18,026
Speaker 1: That's one part of it. But then there was this

299
00:16:18,026 --> 00:16:19,866
Speaker 1: whole other thing where like I'm watching Tom Brady get

300
00:16:19,906 --> 00:16:20,706
Speaker 1: interviewed by Steven A.

301
00:16:20,786 --> 00:16:21,106
Speaker 2: Smith.

302
00:16:21,506 --> 00:16:23,546
Speaker 1: Then I'm watching like jay Z showed up with DJ

303
00:16:23,626 --> 00:16:27,226
Speaker 1: Collin and I'm like, this is all happening amidst Like, so,

304
00:16:27,306 --> 00:16:29,626
Speaker 1: Javit Center is freaking huge. I used to see the

305
00:16:29,706 --> 00:16:32,786
Speaker 1: car show there is it were you able to beautiful?

306
00:16:32,986 --> 00:16:35,026
Speaker 2: It was my first time being at Javit Center. It

307
00:16:35,066 --> 00:16:40,466
Speaker 2: was beautiful. Yeah, So I was not there was There

308
00:16:40,506 --> 00:16:42,906
Speaker 2: were a few moments of Stephen A. Smith being moved

309
00:16:42,946 --> 00:16:47,346
Speaker 2: about with huge security teams and you know, fans chasing

310
00:16:47,426 --> 00:16:49,786
Speaker 2: him down and trying to get you know, his audisself

311
00:16:50,026 --> 00:16:54,146
Speaker 2: say something to him, yeah, selfie with him, But there

312
00:16:54,226 --> 00:16:56,186
Speaker 2: were you could also pay, so.

313
00:16:56,266 --> 00:16:58,426
Speaker 1: He paid separately for that to then go. But like,

314
00:16:58,466 --> 00:17:01,386
Speaker 1: were you paying to go look at these different collectibles?

315
00:17:01,386 --> 00:17:04,826
Speaker 2: So that's no, no, So I mean we were working there,

316
00:17:04,866 --> 00:17:07,306
Speaker 2: but I think everyone paid some feed just to get

317
00:17:07,346 --> 00:17:10,426
Speaker 2: in the door one day and then I saw so

318
00:17:10,586 --> 00:17:13,386
Speaker 2: many kids, little kids who were having the time of

319
00:17:13,386 --> 00:17:18,186
Speaker 2: their life, like parents, parents are there with them.

320
00:17:17,866 --> 00:17:19,666
Speaker 1: From like my kids school, being like will you be

321
00:17:19,666 --> 00:17:20,466
Speaker 1: at fanatics fest?

322
00:17:20,506 --> 00:17:22,626
Speaker 2: And I was like, right, carry in like a box

323
00:17:23,626 --> 00:17:24,626
Speaker 2: like the kids or whatever.

324
00:17:24,906 --> 00:17:27,226
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson fan and Jalen Brunson's given autograph, so like

325
00:17:27,226 --> 00:17:28,266
Speaker 1: that's an opportunity to get that.

326
00:17:29,746 --> 00:17:32,426
Speaker 2: Grant Williams was there given an interview, and you know

327
00:17:32,706 --> 00:17:35,946
Speaker 2: he he supposedly I think he bought a box of

328
00:17:36,346 --> 00:17:39,906
Speaker 2: basketball cards for like ten grand or something, opened it

329
00:17:40,226 --> 00:17:42,706
Speaker 2: and got a Luca Rookie card that's worth a hundred.

330
00:17:43,106 --> 00:17:45,746
Speaker 1: I mean that's a great story. I mean, I'm always

331
00:17:45,786 --> 00:17:46,826
Speaker 1: a little guy. That's good.

332
00:17:46,906 --> 00:17:49,546
Speaker 2: You're happy for him, right, that is that's not an

333
00:17:49,626 --> 00:17:52,066
Speaker 2: endorsement saying that everyone should go out and spend ten

334
00:17:52,106 --> 00:17:53,986
Speaker 2: grand to buy a box of cards. And expect you're

335
00:17:54,026 --> 00:17:57,586
Speaker 2: gonna ten times your money. But still, yeah, no, there

336
00:17:57,706 --> 00:18:00,826
Speaker 2: was a lot of you know, athletes there. I didn't see.

337
00:18:00,986 --> 00:18:03,266
Speaker 2: I didn't see jay Z. I know Asap Rocky was there.

338
00:18:03,386 --> 00:18:05,746
Speaker 2: Like there were musicians there and everything too. But you

339
00:18:05,746 --> 00:18:08,346
Speaker 2: could go and get in line and get a photo

340
00:18:08,386 --> 00:18:11,106
Speaker 2: with an athlete or get an autograph with them.

341
00:18:12,146 --> 00:18:17,826
Speaker 1: So there was so much this thing. Yeah, if you're

342
00:18:17,826 --> 00:18:19,986
Speaker 1: a listener of this podcast and say you live in

343
00:18:20,066 --> 00:18:22,666
Speaker 1: the Tri state area, you're in Connecticut, New Jersey, and

344
00:18:22,666 --> 00:18:24,746
Speaker 1: they're having it in the spring, let's just say instead

345
00:18:24,746 --> 00:18:26,626
Speaker 1: of the summer, because you go there on summer plans,

346
00:18:26,946 --> 00:18:27,906
Speaker 1: you'd say, check it out.

347
00:18:29,066 --> 00:18:32,106
Speaker 2: I think, like you said, I didn't grow up going

348
00:18:32,146 --> 00:18:33,586
Speaker 2: to card shows, but I would go to the flea

349
00:18:33,626 --> 00:18:35,986
Speaker 2: market every other weekend with my mom, and I would

350
00:18:36,146 --> 00:18:38,626
Speaker 2: as soon as we got there, like I would the cards,

351
00:18:38,866 --> 00:18:40,666
Speaker 2: run to the guy who was selling cards, and I

352
00:18:40,666 --> 00:18:42,986
Speaker 2: would go look at the X Men cards and the

353
00:18:43,026 --> 00:18:46,226
Speaker 2: basketball cards and magic cards whatever. I just went straight

354
00:18:46,306 --> 00:18:48,666
Speaker 2: to the flea market or to the card table. And

355
00:18:48,746 --> 00:18:50,866
Speaker 2: if you have a kid who does that, yeah, they

356
00:18:50,866 --> 00:18:52,826
Speaker 2: probably would have loved this. Okay that this would have

357
00:18:52,866 --> 00:18:54,986
Speaker 2: been amazing. What was what were you.

358
00:18:54,946 --> 00:18:57,466
Speaker 1: Doing for iHeart there, Like, can I find a podcast

359
00:18:57,506 --> 00:18:59,026
Speaker 1: of you guys live at is it?

360
00:18:59,066 --> 00:18:59,146
Speaker 3: You?

361
00:18:59,226 --> 00:19:00,986
Speaker 1: And Jason and a coast.

362
00:19:00,626 --> 00:19:03,506
Speaker 2: Who was in No, I mean we were there helping

363
00:19:03,546 --> 00:19:07,066
Speaker 2: to record Bobby Bones, who's a iHeart Radio he has

364
00:19:07,066 --> 00:19:10,226
Speaker 2: a couple shows. Yeah, and he he actually bought a

365
00:19:10,266 --> 00:19:13,746
Speaker 2: box while he was there of cards that he wanted

366
00:19:13,786 --> 00:19:16,026
Speaker 2: to open. And I don't actually think he did while

367
00:19:16,066 --> 00:19:18,626
Speaker 2: we were there, because then they went into this whole

368
00:19:19,106 --> 00:19:25,106
Speaker 2: discussion about supposedly now everyone is using CT scans on

369
00:19:25,346 --> 00:19:26,786
Speaker 2: boxes of unopened cards.

370
00:19:26,826 --> 00:19:27,506
Speaker 1: What does it mean?

371
00:19:28,586 --> 00:19:31,066
Speaker 2: So it's like a digital imaging thing you use in

372
00:19:31,106 --> 00:19:34,666
Speaker 2: medicine to like look at inside your body. And people

373
00:19:34,706 --> 00:19:37,426
Speaker 2: are able to use the box card card there to

374
00:19:37,546 --> 00:19:41,386
Speaker 2: see what's in it. So before they open this ten

375
00:19:41,466 --> 00:19:44,906
Speaker 2: grand box, there's there's one Lebron Rookie card that's never

376
00:19:44,946 --> 00:19:48,426
Speaker 2: been opened and it's probably worth upwards of one hundred grand,

377
00:19:48,466 --> 00:19:51,066
Speaker 2: you know, six figures. And so if you throw this

378
00:19:51,226 --> 00:19:53,466
Speaker 2: box in the CT scan machine, you can see if

379
00:19:53,506 --> 00:19:55,386
Speaker 2: it's in there. If it's in there, you open the

380
00:19:55,426 --> 00:19:57,786
Speaker 2: box and then you sell that card, and if it's

381
00:19:57,786 --> 00:20:00,506
Speaker 2: not in there, you probably just sell the box to

382
00:20:00,586 --> 00:20:03,986
Speaker 2: someone else. At ten grand, and you know, they open

383
00:20:04,026 --> 00:20:06,146
Speaker 2: it thinking that the Lebron card might be in there,

384
00:20:06,466 --> 00:20:08,306
Speaker 2: so they had a whole discussion about that, and he

385
00:20:08,466 --> 00:20:11,346
Speaker 2: ended up not opening the box that he bought because

386
00:20:11,386 --> 00:20:13,186
Speaker 2: he was too nervous that it had been scanned at

387
00:20:13,186 --> 00:20:18,146
Speaker 2: a ct scam machine. So, yeah, there were a bunch

388
00:20:18,146 --> 00:20:20,746
Speaker 2: of recordings, and I Heart had some radio stations that

389
00:20:20,786 --> 00:20:24,266
Speaker 2: were there doing stuff as well. But yeah, it was,

390
00:20:24,426 --> 00:20:27,906
Speaker 2: it was. It looks like a lot of fun. All

391
00:20:27,946 --> 00:20:29,946
Speaker 2: the stuff I saw on socials the next couple of

392
00:20:30,026 --> 00:20:31,866
Speaker 2: days too, because I didn't go Saturday or Sunday, I

393
00:20:31,906 --> 00:20:37,346
Speaker 2: saw Gronk and Brady were there. Jersey's just walking through

394
00:20:37,706 --> 00:20:38,586
Speaker 2: the lot, which was cool.

395
00:20:39,186 --> 00:20:43,946
Speaker 1: They had a good turnout. I mean, you're talking big

396
00:20:43,986 --> 00:20:46,306
Speaker 1: stars all over the place, all right, So let's fanatics

397
00:20:46,306 --> 00:20:48,786
Speaker 1: fest and we're giving it a if you're into it, though,

398
00:20:48,866 --> 00:20:58,546
Speaker 1: if you're not, do I like that? All right? A

399
00:20:58,586 --> 00:21:01,026
Speaker 1: couple other topics before I get to my list of

400
00:21:01,066 --> 00:21:03,746
Speaker 1: ten breakout players, which I think everyone wants to hear

401
00:21:03,866 --> 00:21:05,706
Speaker 1: because you're doing your fantasy draft and all this thing.

402
00:21:06,906 --> 00:21:11,586
Speaker 1: The Chiefs. The Chiefs on Saturday played all of their starters.

403
00:21:12,386 --> 00:21:15,466
Speaker 1: They played against the Lions, number twos didn't win the game,

404
00:21:15,466 --> 00:21:18,386
Speaker 1: that's all right. They were having such a fun time

405
00:21:18,426 --> 00:21:20,066
Speaker 1: out there, Aaron like, I don't know if you watched

406
00:21:20,106 --> 00:21:23,706
Speaker 1: it, it was like in the middle of the day on Saturday,

407
00:21:21,786 --> 00:21:26,026
Speaker 1: I was I was home, my son had you know,

408
00:21:26,266 --> 00:21:28,146
Speaker 1: like baseball, and then it was like there was this

409
00:21:28,186 --> 00:21:29,666
Speaker 1: like lowl in the afternoon. I'm like, oh, Ill put

410
00:21:29,666 --> 00:21:31,186
Speaker 1: on an NFL network and the Chiefs and I'm like,

411
00:21:31,946 --> 00:21:37,786
Speaker 1: mahomes Kelsey, was she Rice Padjaco. They're all out there

412
00:21:37,986 --> 00:21:40,066
Speaker 1: and like not one of them is bitching, one of

413
00:21:40,106 --> 00:21:42,346
Speaker 1: them is complaining that one of them is even questioning.

414
00:21:42,706 --> 00:21:44,706
Speaker 1: They're in there. They're in a full lather mahomestress but

415
00:21:44,786 --> 00:21:48,506
Speaker 1: behind the back pass Like I don't know, man, like

416
00:21:49,266 --> 00:21:51,546
Speaker 1: if you're talking about is this team gonna buckle under

417
00:21:51,546 --> 00:21:53,546
Speaker 1: the pressure of a three peet? I don't know if

418
00:21:53,586 --> 00:21:57,546
Speaker 1: I've ever seen a looser, more confident, more more loving,

419
00:21:58,106 --> 00:22:02,066
Speaker 1: joyous team than the Chiefs that I saw on Saturday.

420
00:22:02,106 --> 00:22:03,906
Speaker 1: And now like they're not going to play against the

421
00:22:03,946 --> 00:22:06,706
Speaker 1: Bears tomorrow night. When they played Precs, like they it

422
00:22:06,706 --> 00:22:09,146
Speaker 1: all like the what's the term, like the hey is

423
00:22:09,186 --> 00:22:11,106
Speaker 1: in the born like they're good. They'll wait two weeks

424
00:22:11,146 --> 00:22:12,746
Speaker 1: and then they'll be ready to go two weeks from

425
00:22:12,746 --> 00:22:15,706
Speaker 1: now when they play the Ravens. But like, I don't know, man,

426
00:22:15,866 --> 00:22:17,386
Speaker 1: I've got to make my Super Bowl pick. You know,

427
00:22:17,426 --> 00:22:19,226
Speaker 1: there's a lot of hype and a lot of expectations

428
00:22:19,266 --> 00:22:21,266
Speaker 1: on who I'm gonna pick. I'm telling you now, two

429
00:22:21,266 --> 00:22:24,306
Speaker 1: weeks out, it might be disingenuous if I even come

430
00:22:24,306 --> 00:22:26,226
Speaker 1: on to this thing and say, well, I'm really considering

431
00:22:26,266 --> 00:22:29,626
Speaker 1: another team in the AFC. Like they look loaded, and

432
00:22:29,746 --> 00:22:31,146
Speaker 1: gosh do they have fun doing.

433
00:22:30,986 --> 00:22:35,346
Speaker 2: It, And just the comparison between as a Bills fan,

434
00:22:35,626 --> 00:22:38,186
Speaker 2: like we are going through the Bills have so many

435
00:22:38,306 --> 00:22:42,346
Speaker 2: injuries in pre season and the Chiefs are, like you said,

436
00:22:42,426 --> 00:22:46,946
Speaker 2: throwing behind the back passes and like Xavier Worthy looks incredible,

437
00:22:47,226 --> 00:22:50,706
Speaker 2: and yeah, they they got to be all smiles over there.

438
00:22:50,986 --> 00:22:55,546
Speaker 1: They look good. Broncos named bo Nix the starter. I

439
00:22:55,586 --> 00:22:57,946
Speaker 1: don't know if it was officially. I've known this. Ye hey,

440
00:22:58,066 --> 00:23:00,666
Speaker 1: news flash, I've known this, and they weren't Zach Wilson

441
00:23:00,706 --> 00:23:03,866
Speaker 1: and Jaredson, and I love that. Like there's like news

442
00:23:03,946 --> 00:23:07,306
Speaker 1: like the second Sean Payton drafted a quarter twelfth overall,

443
00:23:07,306 --> 00:23:09,426
Speaker 1: Like he's probably gonna start, especially when he's got sixty

444
00:23:09,426 --> 00:23:11,026
Speaker 1: one career starts in college.

445
00:23:11,586 --> 00:23:11,906
Speaker 3: Uh.

446
00:23:12,186 --> 00:23:14,746
Speaker 1: I want everyone to be careful here because Sean is

447
00:23:15,066 --> 00:23:19,306
Speaker 1: a cheerleader for his guys, and Sean I've known very well.

448
00:23:19,546 --> 00:23:22,586
Speaker 1: And Sean came out and has just been raving and

449
00:23:22,626 --> 00:23:25,346
Speaker 1: did an interview with Chase Daniel and Diana Russini. They

450
00:23:25,386 --> 00:23:28,546
Speaker 1: traveled out to Denver, and like he was glowing about Bonnicks.

451
00:23:28,546 --> 00:23:32,146
Speaker 1: Bonix has been unbelievable in preseason. And the same people

452
00:23:32,266 --> 00:23:35,626
Speaker 1: not Diana Chase, but like the same people who who

453
00:23:35,746 --> 00:23:39,426
Speaker 1: mocked and scoffed at a bo Knicks draft pick in April,

454
00:23:39,586 --> 00:23:41,106
Speaker 1: a lot of people did. They're like, Bonix is not

455
00:23:41,146 --> 00:23:42,986
Speaker 1: worthy of a top twelve pick. What is Sean Payton

456
00:23:43,066 --> 00:23:45,106
Speaker 1: doing with it? Are now being like, well, bo Nicks

457
00:23:45,226 --> 00:23:47,466
Speaker 1: is the man, Like he looks good and like he

458
00:23:47,546 --> 00:23:50,946
Speaker 1: has n't taken an NFL snap between that draft and

459
00:23:51,506 --> 00:23:53,666
Speaker 1: the hype machine. Now, I would just say, slow down,

460
00:23:54,066 --> 00:23:55,986
Speaker 1: it's not going to be bow Knicks out of the

461
00:23:56,026 --> 00:23:59,746
Speaker 1: gates lighting the world on fire. I do think he

462
00:23:59,826 --> 00:24:02,186
Speaker 1: won the job outright. I do think he's an incredibly

463
00:24:02,226 --> 00:24:04,866
Speaker 1: accurate quarterback. But like I'm seeing a lot of people

464
00:24:04,906 --> 00:24:07,706
Speaker 1: that I follow in the media a lot of people

465
00:24:07,746 --> 00:24:10,826
Speaker 1: I think have really strong voices in the NFL, like

466
00:24:10,986 --> 00:24:14,146
Speaker 1: already just assuming because he's starting and because Sean Payton

467
00:24:14,426 --> 00:24:16,426
Speaker 1: put his name behind it, that bone Knicks is gonna

468
00:24:16,426 --> 00:24:20,026
Speaker 1: be absolutely electric. Slow down, slow down. It's gonna take

469
00:24:20,026 --> 00:24:22,346
Speaker 1: a while. I'm telling you this. You're in the division

470
00:24:22,786 --> 00:24:26,506
Speaker 1: where you're facing Herbert and the Chargers and Mahomes. The Chiefs,

471
00:24:26,546 --> 00:24:27,666
Speaker 1: like the Broncos are have to put up a lot

472
00:24:27,706 --> 00:24:29,546
Speaker 1: of points. I think they're gonna be much improved this year.

473
00:24:29,946 --> 00:24:32,946
Speaker 1: But I just want to say, slow down on crowning

474
00:24:32,986 --> 00:24:35,106
Speaker 1: bow Knicks and expecting him to just come out of

475
00:24:35,106 --> 00:24:36,306
Speaker 1: the gates and beat Drew Brees.

476
00:24:37,106 --> 00:24:37,426
Speaker 2: All right.

477
00:24:37,466 --> 00:24:40,706
Speaker 1: A couple other items little housekeeping here as far as

478
00:24:40,866 --> 00:24:48,146
Speaker 1: NFL stuff goes hard knocks, be careful again, be careful

479
00:24:48,186 --> 00:24:50,866
Speaker 1: of the hard knocks hype machine. I always like to

480
00:24:50,866 --> 00:24:54,146
Speaker 1: proceed with caution here, But holy do they look fun

481
00:24:54,146 --> 00:24:59,106
Speaker 1: on offense. Like Caleb is electric on this show. And

482
00:24:59,426 --> 00:25:02,146
Speaker 1: they had him biked up against the Bengals in the

483
00:25:02,186 --> 00:25:05,226
Speaker 1: first half and just said, you know, are you nervous.

484
00:25:05,226 --> 00:25:07,146
Speaker 1: He's like, no, I'm not. I never for get nervous.

485
00:25:07,306 --> 00:25:11,146
Speaker 1: Like oh, like don't put that on film.

486
00:25:10,146 --> 00:25:12,866
Speaker 2: Such but such. I loved that clip because it's him

487
00:25:12,866 --> 00:25:16,066
Speaker 2: saying I did get nervous the first time, and I

488
00:25:16,266 --> 00:25:19,946
Speaker 2: threw like an interception first play or something, and from

489
00:25:19,946 --> 00:25:21,866
Speaker 2: then on I was like, Okay, it's not worth it

490
00:25:21,906 --> 00:25:24,466
Speaker 2: to get nervous. Like I love that, Yes, it is

491
00:25:24,506 --> 00:25:26,546
Speaker 2: really risky to be like, no, I never got nervous,

492
00:25:26,546 --> 00:25:29,946
Speaker 2: but that that story behind it. I love that there

493
00:25:29,986 --> 00:25:30,866
Speaker 2: is a there.

494
00:25:30,786 --> 00:25:36,466
Speaker 3: Is a very thin line and like a really small

495
00:25:37,506 --> 00:25:43,626
Speaker 3: like loophole to thread of being an arrogant, cocky asshole

496
00:25:44,466 --> 00:25:49,666
Speaker 3: and a confident, likable, charming, very talented guy.

497
00:25:49,826 --> 00:25:52,306
Speaker 1: And I somehow I'm watching this Hard Knocks and I'm like,

498
00:25:52,946 --> 00:25:56,146
Speaker 1: every time Caleb inches to the former, he like does

499
00:25:56,226 --> 00:25:58,866
Speaker 1: something that endears himself to the audience and to me,

500
00:25:58,906 --> 00:26:00,346
Speaker 1: and I'm like, all right, I think he's on the ladder.

501
00:26:00,906 --> 00:26:02,506
Speaker 1: A couple of things that I love. He was on

502
00:26:02,586 --> 00:26:05,226
Speaker 1: part of my take, and he explained that like the

503
00:26:05,266 --> 00:26:08,146
Speaker 1: Heisman trust in him to the Heisman, and the story

504
00:26:08,146 --> 00:26:09,666
Speaker 1: that came out was that like he wasn't going to

505
00:26:09,786 --> 00:26:12,666
Speaker 1: go unless they like fulfilled his demands. His demands were

506
00:26:12,706 --> 00:26:14,666
Speaker 1: that his offensive lineman got to go with him, I've

507
00:26:14,666 --> 00:26:19,586
Speaker 1: never heard that before. Eventually the Heisman Trust agreed to that,

508
00:26:19,666 --> 00:26:22,426
Speaker 1: and like he showed up with his entire offensive line.

509
00:26:22,586 --> 00:26:24,906
Speaker 1: I love that. There was this story that, you know,

510
00:26:25,266 --> 00:26:28,386
Speaker 1: he's selfish guy coming out of the draft, all this stuff,

511
00:26:28,386 --> 00:26:31,266
Speaker 1: and we've waxed poetic and talked a million words about

512
00:26:31,266 --> 00:26:33,226
Speaker 1: in the pre draft process about Caleb. But like I

513
00:26:33,306 --> 00:26:35,106
Speaker 1: told the story and I want to bring it up

514
00:26:35,106 --> 00:26:39,626
Speaker 1: again that he didn't work out, he didn't do all

515
00:26:39,626 --> 00:26:42,106
Speaker 1: the stuff that everyone asked him to. He wasn't looking to,

516
00:26:42,506 --> 00:26:44,066
Speaker 1: you know, throw at the combine, and there was a

517
00:26:44,066 --> 00:26:48,506
Speaker 1: lot of questions on that Friday night. Caleb's there with

518
00:26:48,626 --> 00:26:50,986
Speaker 1: a camera and I'm like, first of all, I don't

519
00:26:50,986 --> 00:26:52,866
Speaker 1: know what the hell is he a shutter bug? Now?

520
00:26:52,946 --> 00:26:55,306
Speaker 1: Is he? You know? Ansel Adams? I have no idea,

521
00:26:55,866 --> 00:26:59,546
Speaker 1: But he's there Friday night. No other quarterbacks are there.

522
00:26:59,546 --> 00:27:03,226
Speaker 1: They work out Saturdays. It's defensive back drills, and Caleb

523
00:27:03,266 --> 00:27:05,226
Speaker 1: was there just to support his few teammates who played

524
00:27:05,266 --> 00:27:06,826
Speaker 1: at USC and he was like, oh, to be there

525
00:27:06,826 --> 00:27:08,666
Speaker 1: to cheer them on. I'm like all right. And then

526
00:27:08,666 --> 00:27:10,586
Speaker 1: he was taking photos because that's like a hobby is

527
00:27:10,626 --> 00:27:14,706
Speaker 1: I'm like, I love that cool guy. The last part

528
00:27:14,786 --> 00:27:17,426
Speaker 1: is hard Knocks reveals that like as much as he's

529
00:27:17,426 --> 00:27:19,586
Speaker 1: the first overall pick and a signing bonus was thirty

530
00:27:19,586 --> 00:27:23,626
Speaker 1: five million dollars. What I dig about Caleb you're watching this,

531
00:27:24,186 --> 00:27:28,186
Speaker 1: he doesn't carry himself like he's above Austin Reid, who's

532
00:27:28,226 --> 00:27:31,746
Speaker 1: an undrafted guy out to Western Kentucky via West Florida.

533
00:27:31,786 --> 00:27:34,266
Speaker 1: He doesn't carry himself above Brett Rippon, and he certainly

534
00:27:34,266 --> 00:27:37,706
Speaker 1: doesn't carry himself above Tyson Bagent, who started games last

535
00:27:37,746 --> 00:27:41,786
Speaker 1: year and comes out of Division two Shepherd. In fact,

536
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:45,226
Speaker 1: if anything, he's taking the piss out of himself throughout

537
00:27:45,266 --> 00:27:47,826
Speaker 1: the show. He's the one who at the Rookie Show

538
00:27:47,946 --> 00:27:51,706
Speaker 1: bombed singing John Legend, and like he's loving these other

539
00:27:51,786 --> 00:27:53,746
Speaker 1: guys and cheering them on and they are equals on

540
00:27:53,786 --> 00:27:57,186
Speaker 1: the sideline, Like, I don't know, man, there's no veteran

541
00:27:57,186 --> 00:28:00,546
Speaker 1: in that room. Like you look at Jaden Daniels. He's

542
00:28:00,546 --> 00:28:03,946
Speaker 1: got Marcus Mariota, you go up to uh, you know,

543
00:28:03,986 --> 00:28:06,426
Speaker 1: look at what JJ McCarthy had before the injury. He's

544
00:28:06,506 --> 00:28:09,786
Speaker 1: got Sam Darnold, And the other rookie is like Drake

545
00:28:09,826 --> 00:28:11,506
Speaker 1: may jor Kobe Burssett's there and it's kind of like

546
00:28:11,546 --> 00:28:13,186
Speaker 1: one of these dynamics where it's like, all right, we're

547
00:28:13,226 --> 00:28:16,506
Speaker 1: gonna learn from this guy. Look if Brett Rippen's the

548
00:28:16,586 --> 00:28:18,386
Speaker 1: veteran in the room. Brett Rippon was cut by the

549
00:28:18,466 --> 00:28:20,906
Speaker 1: Rams after one game against the Packers last year. It

550
00:28:20,986 --> 00:28:22,746
Speaker 1: played so poorly. I don't think mcs they ever wanted

551
00:28:22,746 --> 00:28:24,866
Speaker 1: to see him, you know, have to dress up again.

552
00:28:24,946 --> 00:28:27,266
Speaker 1: They like released him in after the Green Bay game.

553
00:28:27,546 --> 00:28:31,186
Speaker 1: He's the veteran in the room, and I so respect

554
00:28:31,186 --> 00:28:33,986
Speaker 1: the fact that Caleb's like still seeding respect to these

555
00:28:34,026 --> 00:28:36,426
Speaker 1: guys because some of them are older, some of them

556
00:28:36,506 --> 00:28:38,386
Speaker 1: have been there, and like Tyson Bagett started a couple

557
00:28:38,466 --> 00:28:41,306
Speaker 1: games in the NFL, and for that, Caleb respects it

558
00:28:41,426 --> 00:28:43,586
Speaker 1: and he's treating them like equals, at least from what

559
00:28:43,586 --> 00:28:48,226
Speaker 1: we can see, even though he's obviously the far superior talent. Overall,

560
00:28:49,146 --> 00:28:53,026
Speaker 1: I really loved the Giants off season hard Knocks. I'm

561
00:28:53,146 --> 00:28:56,986
Speaker 1: liking the Bears hard Knocks. One thing I thought was

562
00:28:57,066 --> 00:29:00,226
Speaker 1: really cool, which I don't recall ever, like being shown

563
00:29:01,626 --> 00:29:04,866
Speaker 1: Ryan Poles is trying to get Matthew Judon. In the

564
00:29:04,946 --> 00:29:07,546
Speaker 1: last episode, he's trying drap woman hands up, going to

565
00:29:07,586 --> 00:29:11,266
Speaker 1: Atlanta and the Ryan Poles basically is I'm not gonna

566
00:29:11,786 --> 00:29:13,826
Speaker 1: say that he said this, but like what I like,

567
00:29:13,906 --> 00:29:17,146
Speaker 1: trust the process in this one, where like all along,

568
00:29:17,226 --> 00:29:19,266
Speaker 1: like they wanted to sign him to an extension, Judnon

569
00:29:19,306 --> 00:29:21,346
Speaker 1: didn't want to sign an extension. They wanted to get

570
00:29:21,386 --> 00:29:23,906
Speaker 1: him locked up for long term. Judah wasn't looking to

571
00:29:23,946 --> 00:29:26,026
Speaker 1: do that, and like Poles was like, all right, then,

572
00:29:26,066 --> 00:29:28,026
Speaker 1: I guess we have to let him go somewhere else.

573
00:29:28,026 --> 00:29:30,346
Speaker 1: And Atlanta was willing to sign him and willing to

574
00:29:30,346 --> 00:29:33,266
Speaker 1: play him just on this one year deal and willing

575
00:29:33,306 --> 00:29:35,866
Speaker 1: to trade that third round pick. But like when a

576
00:29:35,986 --> 00:29:39,346
Speaker 1: trade is being discussed, usually teams are really cagey about

577
00:29:39,346 --> 00:29:42,826
Speaker 1: what gets out if it doesn't happen. The Bears have

578
00:29:42,946 --> 00:29:45,186
Speaker 1: final edit on Hard Knocks, and we're cool with having

579
00:29:45,226 --> 00:29:47,786
Speaker 1: that in there that like, hey, now, look if Matthew

580
00:29:47,866 --> 00:29:50,426
Speaker 1: Judon goes on and has twenty sacks or has fifteen

581
00:29:50,546 --> 00:29:53,666
Speaker 1: sacks and is a beast on Atlanta like the film's

582
00:29:53,706 --> 00:29:57,146
Speaker 1: out there that Poles was like, no, we're not gonna

583
00:29:57,346 --> 00:29:59,626
Speaker 1: bend on that thing. We're going to stick to the process,

584
00:29:59,666 --> 00:30:01,946
Speaker 1: which I don't know, I kind of respect.

585
00:30:03,466 --> 00:30:05,906
Speaker 2: Yeah, it reminds me a lot of the like you

586
00:30:05,946 --> 00:30:08,546
Speaker 2: were mentioning the Giants hard knocks, where they're in the

587
00:30:08,626 --> 00:30:11,426
Speaker 2: room and they're saying, these are the receivers that we

588
00:30:11,466 --> 00:30:16,066
Speaker 2: would take. Yeah, we like neighbors over Rome, but if

589
00:30:16,066 --> 00:30:18,306
Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison is there, maybe we take him. Oh no,

590
00:30:18,386 --> 00:30:21,466
Speaker 2: actually I have neighbors over Marvin Harrison. All right. I

591
00:30:21,466 --> 00:30:25,666
Speaker 2: mean like hearing all those discussions come out so soon

592
00:30:25,746 --> 00:30:28,186
Speaker 2: after the draft, not ten years later, when we already

593
00:30:28,746 --> 00:30:31,706
Speaker 2: know some of the legacy of these players, it's it's

594
00:30:32,266 --> 00:30:34,466
Speaker 2: really interesting and it is a little risky.

595
00:30:34,866 --> 00:30:49,706
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, let's get to my ten breakout players of

596
00:30:49,746 --> 00:30:51,906
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Can we get some music? Can we

597
00:30:51,946 --> 00:30:54,346
Speaker 1: do some? Can you play me some? Can you play

598
00:30:54,386 --> 00:30:56,626
Speaker 1: me some jelly roll or some Chaboozi or we can't

599
00:30:56,626 --> 00:30:56,946
Speaker 1: do that.

600
00:30:57,226 --> 00:31:04,026
Speaker 2: Here is some non copyrighted Shahboozy esque music goes here.

601
00:31:04,106 --> 00:31:08,186
Speaker 1: Kevin Shaboozi inserted here. All right, here is my list.

602
00:31:08,226 --> 00:31:11,186
Speaker 1: If you're not aware where I was talking about Caleb

603
00:31:11,226 --> 00:31:14,786
Speaker 1: Williams and how he's not he walks that theme line

604
00:31:14,786 --> 00:31:16,386
Speaker 1: and kind of walks on the right side of not

605
00:31:16,506 --> 00:31:19,426
Speaker 1: being a cocky, arrogant asshole when it comes to my

606
00:31:19,506 --> 00:31:22,266
Speaker 1: preseason predictions. I'm on the way other end of that.

607
00:31:22,306 --> 00:31:28,706
Speaker 1: I am a absolute for brains, annoying person, insufferable in many ways.

608
00:31:28,746 --> 00:31:32,026
Speaker 1: But I usually am talking to the coaches throughout summer

609
00:31:32,066 --> 00:31:33,786
Speaker 1: and I'm always asking. And this is one thing that

610
00:31:33,786 --> 00:31:36,026
Speaker 1: I actually put work into. I say, give me a

611
00:31:36,026 --> 00:31:40,226
Speaker 1: breakout player that nobody's talking about. So, with no further ado,

612
00:31:40,506 --> 00:31:43,226
Speaker 1: ten players and I think are going to break out

613
00:31:43,266 --> 00:31:47,066
Speaker 1: standout seasons that aren't obvious names. We start out in

614
00:31:47,186 --> 00:31:51,266
Speaker 1: Denver with a five foot seven running back out of

615
00:31:51,346 --> 00:31:57,666
Speaker 1: Youngstown State. His name Jaliel McLaughlin. Jalil McLaughlin, twenty three

616
00:31:57,786 --> 00:32:02,146
Speaker 1: years old, played in every game last season. Okay, did

617
00:32:02,186 --> 00:32:06,306
Speaker 1: have seventy six carries, But he is your Darren Sprolls

618
00:32:06,506 --> 00:32:09,346
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty four season. We know Javonte Williams

619
00:32:09,466 --> 00:32:14,266
Speaker 1: is going to be the headline guy. They drafted Isaac

620
00:32:14,306 --> 00:32:16,986
Speaker 1: Austin May out of college where he's going to get

621
00:32:16,986 --> 00:32:21,266
Speaker 1: a lot of carries. But Jalil McLaughlin Denver Broncos scatback

622
00:32:21,506 --> 00:32:26,066
Speaker 1: Darren Sprolls type. Now what I draft him in fantasy football? Maybe,

623
00:32:27,106 --> 00:32:29,626
Speaker 1: but I would say more than anything, he's the guy

624
00:32:29,706 --> 00:32:32,946
Speaker 1: that Scott Hansen's going to be like, Holy cow, We've

625
00:32:32,946 --> 00:32:36,466
Speaker 1: got another Joel McLaughlin play this week where he is

626
00:32:36,506 --> 00:32:38,386
Speaker 1: going to be the safety valve in a lot of

627
00:32:38,426 --> 00:32:40,386
Speaker 1: ways on third down and he's going to be one

628
00:32:40,426 --> 00:32:44,666
Speaker 1: of these dynamic players and special teams. Five foot seven

629
00:32:44,826 --> 00:32:48,666
Speaker 1: player for the Denver Broncos. Picture Darren Sprolls with the Saints.

630
00:32:48,906 --> 00:32:51,226
Speaker 1: That's what we're looking at. Number nine. A player who

631
00:32:51,266 --> 00:32:53,266
Speaker 1: was highlighted on Hard Knocks this week and I was

632
00:32:53,306 --> 00:32:56,506
Speaker 1: almost furious that they stole it from me because no

633
00:32:56,506 --> 00:32:59,666
Speaker 1: one's been talking about him. Punter for the Chicago Bears,

634
00:32:59,746 --> 00:33:03,266
Speaker 1: Tory Taylor. He is a twenty seven year old at

635
00:33:03,266 --> 00:33:08,906
Speaker 1: a Melbourne, Australia, was a Australian rules football player and

636
00:33:08,986 --> 00:33:11,226
Speaker 1: if you watch college football, you know he has been

637
00:33:11,266 --> 00:33:15,426
Speaker 1: dominant at Iowa, maybe the best player out of Iowa

638
00:33:15,706 --> 00:33:18,026
Speaker 1: in the last several seasons. And that includes all these

639
00:33:18,026 --> 00:33:20,386
Speaker 1: tight ends and defensive ends and the offensive linemen that

640
00:33:20,386 --> 00:33:26,386
Speaker 1: they've been churning out. Highest drafted punter since twenty nineteen

641
00:33:26,426 --> 00:33:29,586
Speaker 1: when the forty nine ers drafted Mitch with Shnowski the

642
00:33:29,706 --> 00:33:32,666
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. And it's the Windy City and there's a

643
00:33:32,666 --> 00:33:35,706
Speaker 1: ton of elements. It's as if they drafted an offensive

644
00:33:35,746 --> 00:33:38,066
Speaker 1: weapon with this guy. Everything I have heard out of

645
00:33:38,066 --> 00:33:41,906
Speaker 1: camp is that he is an absolute game changer and

646
00:33:41,946 --> 00:33:45,146
Speaker 1: he will be a breakout player. Australian punter the first

647
00:33:45,146 --> 00:33:47,706
Speaker 1: time I ever put a punter on this list. Tory

648
00:33:47,826 --> 00:33:51,426
Speaker 1: Taylor is number nine. Number eight, we go to Buffalo

649
00:33:52,106 --> 00:33:56,986
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir. Obvious reasons here. Gave Davis's gone, Stefan Diggs

650
00:33:57,026 --> 00:33:58,786
Speaker 1: is gone. Who's going to step up? I think Dalton

651
00:33:58,826 --> 00:34:01,066
Speaker 1: Kinkaid might end up being the biggest pass catcher in

652
00:34:01,066 --> 00:34:03,906
Speaker 1: this offense. I also think James Cook and Ray Davis

653
00:34:03,946 --> 00:34:06,986
Speaker 1: are going to play huge roles. Khalil Shakir is going

654
00:34:07,066 --> 00:34:09,866
Speaker 1: to have to have a career breakout season. He's entering

655
00:34:09,906 --> 00:34:12,306
Speaker 1: his third year. He's had some big plays. He was

656
00:34:12,306 --> 00:34:15,706
Speaker 1: the only Bills wide receiver besides Diggs and Davis with

657
00:34:15,746 --> 00:34:18,546
Speaker 1: more than two hundred receiving yards last year. Obviously, they

658
00:34:18,546 --> 00:34:21,466
Speaker 1: brought in Keyon Coleman. We've got some other veterans they've got,

659
00:34:21,546 --> 00:34:23,226
Speaker 1: but I think Shaki is going to have a huge

660
00:34:23,306 --> 00:34:26,506
Speaker 1: year for the Buffalo Bills. And Josh Allen has expressed

661
00:34:26,506 --> 00:34:29,106
Speaker 1: how much he likes throwing to the guy number seven

662
00:34:29,386 --> 00:34:30,906
Speaker 1: on the list. We go to Vegas and we go

663
00:34:30,906 --> 00:34:33,586
Speaker 1: to a pass rusher and it's not Max Crosby, and

664
00:34:33,626 --> 00:34:37,626
Speaker 1: it's not Christian Wilkins, and it is not their big

665
00:34:37,666 --> 00:34:40,466
Speaker 1: stud defensive end Tyree who they got last year in

666
00:34:40,506 --> 00:34:43,906
Speaker 1: the draft. It's Malcolm Kots out of Buffalo, twenty six

667
00:34:43,986 --> 00:34:47,626
Speaker 1: years old, third round pick twenty twenty one. Koons last

668
00:34:47,666 --> 00:34:50,466
Speaker 1: year very quietly ranked second on the Raiders in both

669
00:34:50,786 --> 00:34:54,906
Speaker 1: quarterback hits with seventeen and sacks, and all eight sacks

670
00:34:54,946 --> 00:34:58,466
Speaker 1: came under Antonio Pierce as the interim head coach. I

671
00:34:58,546 --> 00:35:00,826
Speaker 1: really like what Koons did. He's the kind of guy

672
00:35:00,946 --> 00:35:03,546
Speaker 1: on Buffalo that no one's talking about. But you'll be

673
00:35:03,586 --> 00:35:05,426
Speaker 1: shocked when you turn up and you're watching it. You're like,

674
00:35:05,466 --> 00:35:09,506
Speaker 1: holy shit, Malcolm Coons has you know, thirteen sacks this season?

675
00:35:09,546 --> 00:35:11,666
Speaker 1: Where did that come from? Well, there's a tension going

676
00:35:11,706 --> 00:35:14,786
Speaker 1: acrossby attention going to Wilkins, and I think Malcolm Coons

677
00:35:14,826 --> 00:35:16,626
Speaker 1: showed that he can do the job on the other

678
00:35:16,746 --> 00:35:20,266
Speaker 1: end of those guys. This season. Number six, we go

679
00:35:20,306 --> 00:35:21,946
Speaker 1: to New York and we don't go to the Jets,

680
00:35:21,986 --> 00:35:24,786
Speaker 1: we go to the Giants. Deonte Banks six foot two,

681
00:35:24,906 --> 00:35:27,866
Speaker 1: two hundred pound corner second year guy for New York.

682
00:35:27,906 --> 00:35:29,786
Speaker 1: He was drafted last year in the first round out

683
00:35:29,786 --> 00:35:33,626
Speaker 1: of Maryland. So much attention on Cavon Thibadeau, so much

684
00:35:33,626 --> 00:35:37,146
Speaker 1: attention on Dexter Lawrence. The Giants have quietly added some

685
00:35:37,186 --> 00:35:39,866
Speaker 1: real talent in the defensive backfield the last couple of years.

686
00:35:39,866 --> 00:35:42,546
Speaker 1: I like Banks, I like flat out of LSU. But

687
00:35:42,626 --> 00:35:46,346
Speaker 1: I think Banks enters the twenty twenty four season with

688
00:35:46,346 --> 00:35:47,506
Speaker 1: a lot of eyes on him. And think about the

689
00:35:47,546 --> 00:35:50,866
Speaker 1: guys in the division. AJ Brown, Deavonte Smith, Terry McLaurin,

690
00:35:50,946 --> 00:35:54,826
Speaker 1: Johan Dotson, CD Lamb, Brandon Cooks like he's going to

691
00:35:54,866 --> 00:35:56,746
Speaker 1: grab those number one players and he's gonna have to

692
00:35:56,786 --> 00:36:00,426
Speaker 1: do the job. Deontay Banks of the Giants is number six.

693
00:36:01,306 --> 00:36:05,386
Speaker 1: Let's keep rolling number five. Another defensive back I am going.

694
00:36:05,786 --> 00:36:10,666
Speaker 1: Brian Ranch for the Detroit Lions last year was a

695
00:36:10,706 --> 00:36:14,386
Speaker 1: second round pick out out of Alabama. Played in fifteen games,

696
00:36:14,466 --> 00:36:17,746
Speaker 1: had three interceptions, had a touchdown. He led Detroit with

697
00:36:17,906 --> 00:36:20,666
Speaker 1: thirteen passes defended. They were trying to pick on him

698
00:36:20,706 --> 00:36:23,426
Speaker 1: in the safety spot. I think he's an awesome player.

699
00:36:23,706 --> 00:36:26,786
Speaker 1: He showed flashes last year, missed a couple games with injuries.

700
00:36:27,066 --> 00:36:29,186
Speaker 1: I think Brian Branch steps up and has like one

701
00:36:29,186 --> 00:36:32,106
Speaker 1: of those all pros Pro Bowl seasons at the safety

702
00:36:32,146 --> 00:36:37,546
Speaker 1: spot for Detroit, working under the Great Aaron Glenn. Number four,

703
00:36:37,666 --> 00:36:40,546
Speaker 1: we go to Tampa and I'm going with a pass

704
00:36:40,626 --> 00:36:47,266
Speaker 1: rusher ya Ya Dyabi, Yes, Yaya Dabi ya Ya. Last

705
00:36:47,346 --> 00:36:50,066
Speaker 1: year had a breakout rookie moment or two. But I

706
00:36:50,106 --> 00:36:51,786
Speaker 1: think he's gonna put it all together. I'm gonna put

707
00:36:51,786 --> 00:36:54,706
Speaker 1: it on paper right now. Ya Ya. Dabby's gonna finish

708
00:36:54,746 --> 00:36:57,226
Speaker 1: in the top ten in sacks in the NFL. He

709
00:36:57,266 --> 00:37:00,506
Speaker 1: wears number zero. I love his game, I love his personality.

710
00:37:00,666 --> 00:37:02,386
Speaker 1: He does a whole dance when he gets a sack.

711
00:37:02,626 --> 00:37:04,386
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be electric this year. Ya

712
00:37:04,546 --> 00:37:07,306
Speaker 1: Ya Dabi as a pass rusher. Now we're down to

713
00:37:07,346 --> 00:37:12,986
Speaker 1: the final three. Number three is a third year tight

714
00:37:13,066 --> 00:37:14,746
Speaker 1: end for a team that I don't think I've mentioned

715
00:37:14,746 --> 00:37:17,946
Speaker 1: on the podcast since the draft, maybe when they took

716
00:37:17,986 --> 00:37:21,546
Speaker 1: a wide receiver at third overall. I'm going or fourth overall.

717
00:37:21,586 --> 00:37:26,266
Speaker 1: I'm going Trey McBride out of the Arizona Cardinals organization.

718
00:37:27,066 --> 00:37:30,066
Speaker 1: Completely anonymous team right now on offense. But just wait,

719
00:37:30,466 --> 00:37:33,626
Speaker 1: he and Kyler started picking things up at the end

720
00:37:33,666 --> 00:37:36,586
Speaker 1: of the year. He led Arizona last season with one

721
00:37:36,666 --> 00:37:39,266
Speaker 1: hundred and six targets. He also had eighty one catches

722
00:37:39,306 --> 00:37:42,506
Speaker 1: with almost one thousand receiving guards. He was second on

723
00:37:42,546 --> 00:37:45,026
Speaker 1: Arizona and receiving touchdowns too, and I think he's only

724
00:37:45,066 --> 00:37:48,826
Speaker 1: going to get better. Trey McBride tight end. We always

725
00:37:48,826 --> 00:37:52,466
Speaker 1: talk about Kelsey and Kittle, and then Laporta entered the

726
00:37:52,506 --> 00:37:55,866
Speaker 1: conversation last year, and everyone's waiting on Pits, Everyone's waiting

727
00:37:55,866 --> 00:37:58,786
Speaker 1: on Hockinson. Hockinson's had some big games and obviously has

728
00:37:58,826 --> 00:38:02,746
Speaker 1: had some big seasons. I think Trey McBride emerges this

729
00:38:02,866 --> 00:38:05,346
Speaker 1: year and he's that dude. All Right, we're down to

730
00:38:05,386 --> 00:38:09,706
Speaker 1: the final two. We preface this, Yere. I was really

731
00:38:09,746 --> 00:38:14,506
Speaker 1: tempted to put Bijon Robinson in this top two. Aaron,

732
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:16,106
Speaker 1: you're listening to this. If I was to go on

733
00:38:16,146 --> 00:38:19,026
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football Friday and I'm like, Bjeon Robinson's my

734
00:38:19,106 --> 00:38:22,066
Speaker 1: breakout player. Would you say he's already broken out or

735
00:38:22,066 --> 00:38:23,066
Speaker 1: would you say that's fair?

736
00:38:24,386 --> 00:38:26,986
Speaker 2: I would say he's not broken out because I think

737
00:38:28,146 --> 00:38:31,586
Speaker 2: I think that what his potential is and what everyone

738
00:38:31,666 --> 00:38:34,506
Speaker 2: expected from him last year, he didn't quite reach. He

739
00:38:34,546 --> 00:38:37,786
Speaker 2: looked incredible. He was my favorite player to watch with

740
00:38:37,866 --> 00:38:40,586
Speaker 2: the overhead cam where it follows him and you see

741
00:38:40,666 --> 00:38:43,426
Speaker 2: him drinking everyone out. He was incredible, but it was

742
00:38:43,506 --> 00:38:46,946
Speaker 2: just like I want him to be CMC, like I

743
00:38:46,946 --> 00:38:49,786
Speaker 2: want him to be okay, amazing.

744
00:38:49,986 --> 00:38:51,786
Speaker 1: So I've got to make a decision because I'm putting

745
00:38:51,786 --> 00:38:55,546
Speaker 1: this list out. So far, I love my list. Number

746
00:38:55,586 --> 00:38:57,866
Speaker 1: two of my list is certainly not a breakout player yet,

747
00:38:57,906 --> 00:39:01,946
Speaker 1: so I think he qualifies. But I also like Bijeon

748
00:39:02,106 --> 00:39:03,706
Speaker 1: as my number one guy, and right now I don't

749
00:39:03,746 --> 00:39:05,106
Speaker 1: have him on the list. Tell me how you would

750
00:39:05,106 --> 00:39:06,386
Speaker 1: sort this out and if I can have a time

751
00:39:06,666 --> 00:39:10,546
Speaker 1: for first. Number two is Kenneth Walker the third? Okay,

752
00:39:11,066 --> 00:39:14,346
Speaker 1: I love this guy's game and he was a second

753
00:39:14,386 --> 00:39:16,786
Speaker 1: round pick in the twenty twenty two NFL draft, but

754
00:39:16,866 --> 00:39:19,706
Speaker 1: he has been hampered with injury. He's had one thousand

755
00:39:19,706 --> 00:39:22,386
Speaker 1: scrimmag yards and nine touchdowns in each of his first

756
00:39:22,426 --> 00:39:25,306
Speaker 1: two seasons. He's the first player in Seahawks' history to

757
00:39:25,346 --> 00:39:28,546
Speaker 1: do that. But he hasn't had that breakout year, and

758
00:39:28,586 --> 00:39:31,626
Speaker 1: he hasn't certainly had that year where you're like, holy cow,

759
00:39:31,666 --> 00:39:34,666
Speaker 1: He's one of those guys. I think Kenneth Walker is

760
00:39:34,706 --> 00:39:37,266
Speaker 1: one of those guys. And I think so in this

761
00:39:38,186 --> 00:39:41,986
Speaker 1: grub offense, that that's the offensive coordinator in Seattle. And

762
00:39:42,026 --> 00:39:46,866
Speaker 1: I go back to Mike McDonald coaching against Kenneth Walker

763
00:39:47,026 --> 00:39:49,986
Speaker 1: in college, and Kenneth Walker was playing for Michigan State

764
00:39:50,026 --> 00:39:52,626
Speaker 1: and Mike McDonald was for Michigan, And I might ask

765
00:39:52,666 --> 00:39:54,586
Speaker 1: you to google this so we could patch this together

766
00:39:54,626 --> 00:39:57,946
Speaker 1: so it's quicker. What were the numbers that Kenneth Walker

767
00:39:58,026 --> 00:40:03,026
Speaker 1: had against Michigan his final year as a Michigan State spartan,

768
00:40:03,066 --> 00:40:06,786
Speaker 1: because Mike McDonald was the defensive coordinator for the Michigan

769
00:40:06,786 --> 00:40:07,746
Speaker 1: Wolverines that day.

770
00:40:07,986 --> 00:40:10,826
Speaker 2: And if you have it up there, just that game,

771
00:40:11,146 --> 00:40:12,026
Speaker 2: just that one.

772
00:40:11,866 --> 00:40:14,626
Speaker 1: Game, that one game. I think it was twenty twenty.

773
00:40:14,386 --> 00:40:18,266
Speaker 2: Two, So I can give you a small bit of

774
00:40:18,306 --> 00:40:20,866
Speaker 2: what he had twenty twenty twenty.

775
00:40:21,546 --> 00:40:23,946
Speaker 1: Let's think here, how if the twenty twenty two draft

776
00:40:23,986 --> 00:40:26,666
Speaker 1: is where he was selected, give me twenty twenty one

777
00:40:27,306 --> 00:40:30,546
Speaker 1: Michigan State versus Michigan Kenneth Walker's statline.

778
00:40:30,746 --> 00:40:33,466
Speaker 2: He ran for one hundred and ninety three yards and

779
00:40:33,706 --> 00:40:35,146
Speaker 2: five touchdowns.

780
00:40:35,306 --> 00:40:37,826
Speaker 1: Get the hell out of here with that. So if

781
00:40:37,826 --> 00:40:39,666
Speaker 1: your head coach is like, all right, I'm taking the

782
00:40:39,746 --> 00:40:43,466
Speaker 1: job in Seattle, and I got this charbonnet and I've

783
00:40:43,466 --> 00:40:47,546
Speaker 1: got you know, a DK Metcalf and a gino Oh,

784
00:40:47,586 --> 00:40:50,386
Speaker 1: I've got that guy. That guy terrorized me. Trust me.

785
00:40:50,866 --> 00:40:52,986
Speaker 1: They know what he can do. And I think that

786
00:40:53,026 --> 00:40:56,266
Speaker 1: game's highlights just like played tricks and Mike McDonald said

787
00:40:56,266 --> 00:40:58,066
Speaker 1: he's the new head coach of Seattle. That was good.

788
00:40:58,186 --> 00:40:59,626
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll make it too much of a deal of it.

789
00:40:59,706 --> 00:41:01,826
Speaker 1: Everything I hear is that he's healthy. He's the dude.

790
00:41:02,026 --> 00:41:04,786
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker is number two, which leads to number one.

791
00:41:05,746 --> 00:41:07,586
Speaker 1: I have to fix this and do something. So I'm

792
00:41:07,586 --> 00:41:09,586
Speaker 1: gonna unveil this on Good Morning Football, and it's gonna

793
00:41:09,626 --> 00:41:12,066
Speaker 1: be like here's Sugger's listenever, and I might find a

794
00:41:12,106 --> 00:41:14,746
Speaker 1: way to be artful about this. I might move Walker back,

795
00:41:14,786 --> 00:41:18,346
Speaker 1: I might scratch branch whatever, We'll figure it out. Number

796
00:41:18,346 --> 00:41:24,306
Speaker 1: one on my lists is Jaden Daniels. Jaden Daniels to

797
00:41:24,346 --> 00:41:28,106
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders. And maybe I'm being asymmetric because everyone's

798
00:41:28,146 --> 00:41:31,546
Speaker 1: talking about Klub and I just think that I think

799
00:41:31,626 --> 00:41:34,066
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniel is gonna be the offensive rookie of the year.

800
00:41:34,546 --> 00:41:36,946
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a CJ. Stroud like season,

801
00:41:38,026 --> 00:41:41,586
Speaker 1: and I go by. Cliff Kingsbury is offensive coordinator, raving

802
00:41:41,586 --> 00:41:45,306
Speaker 1: about him to me, and I go by knowing that

803
00:41:45,346 --> 00:41:47,626
Speaker 1: Cliff had Kyler as a rookie and was able to

804
00:41:47,626 --> 00:41:49,786
Speaker 1: get him going right from go Kyler was great his

805
00:41:49,866 --> 00:41:52,266
Speaker 1: rookie year. It was really fun to watch. I go by.

806
00:41:52,266 --> 00:41:56,386
Speaker 1: This quarterback has played in so many big games, has

807
00:41:56,426 --> 00:42:00,106
Speaker 1: played against so much a list competition, and has been

808
00:42:00,186 --> 00:42:03,746
Speaker 1: so good in camp that this is my asymmetric thing.

809
00:42:03,826 --> 00:42:07,466
Speaker 1: I'm putting Jaden Daniels as my break out player of

810
00:42:07,506 --> 00:42:09,546
Speaker 1: the year. And then you're gonna say, well, where does

811
00:42:09,586 --> 00:42:11,386
Speaker 1: Caleb fall on that list? And I'm like, I don't know.

812
00:42:11,586 --> 00:42:13,986
Speaker 1: I think Caleb is good too, or where's Botnicks go?

813
00:42:14,106 --> 00:42:17,626
Speaker 1: I don't know. But like Aaron before, as of workshopping this,

814
00:42:18,106 --> 00:42:21,306
Speaker 1: how do you do you put bijon one and maybe

815
00:42:21,346 --> 00:42:25,386
Speaker 1: put Jayden two and Walker three? And then or do

816
00:42:25,506 --> 00:42:28,466
Speaker 1: I is it more? You know, boom, It's I go,

817
00:42:28,586 --> 00:42:30,546
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels is the breakout player of the year.

818
00:42:30,786 --> 00:42:32,226
Speaker 2: I mean Jayden Daniels number one?

819
00:42:32,306 --> 00:42:34,506
Speaker 1: Is that?

820
00:42:34,826 --> 00:42:35,386
Speaker 2: I like that?

821
00:42:35,466 --> 00:42:37,186
Speaker 1: And you know Caleb on the list. It's like a station.

822
00:42:37,306 --> 00:42:40,226
Speaker 2: Yeah right, I think you know, like you're saying, Caleb

823
00:42:41,226 --> 00:42:46,066
Speaker 2: is looks incredible, but Caleb also has this incredible supporting cast.

824
00:42:46,266 --> 00:42:51,346
Speaker 2: And not that Terry McLaurin is not a great wide receiver,

825
00:42:51,506 --> 00:42:56,906
Speaker 2: but he is not DJ Moore, Keenan, Allen Roman doonsay

826
00:42:57,306 --> 00:42:59,586
Speaker 2: and I love Johan Dotson. I think you know, I

827
00:42:59,586 --> 00:43:02,706
Speaker 2: think Johan Dotson is like a very good player. He

828
00:43:02,746 --> 00:43:05,906
Speaker 2: has incredible hands, and he he's just seems like a

829
00:43:05,986 --> 00:43:09,346
Speaker 2: nice guy. Like watching interviews with him. He didn't follow

830
00:43:09,426 --> 00:43:14,106
Speaker 2: up his rookie year last year, and so there the

831
00:43:14,106 --> 00:43:17,106
Speaker 2: the Washington team is like brand new, and if Jade

832
00:43:17,106 --> 00:43:20,226
Speaker 2: and Daniels can overcome that and have a really high

833
00:43:20,306 --> 00:43:25,186
Speaker 2: perform in year as a rookie, that would be So what.

834
00:43:25,066 --> 00:43:26,426
Speaker 1: Do you do with my Bijon?

835
00:43:27,426 --> 00:43:27,866
Speaker 2: I love that?

836
00:43:27,906 --> 00:43:29,866
Speaker 1: Do you include him? Do you say last year he

837
00:43:29,906 --> 00:43:32,066
Speaker 1: broke out? Do I stick him in there? And I

838
00:43:32,066 --> 00:43:34,026
Speaker 1: mean Brian Branch is a safety. If I don't put

839
00:43:34,026 --> 00:43:36,106
Speaker 1: Brian Branch on this list, no one's gonna blink twice?

840
00:43:36,106 --> 00:43:45,266
Speaker 1: Do I go ya ya at five? Okay? Four? Kenneth Walker.

841
00:43:46,386 --> 00:43:50,466
Speaker 2: I like Kenneth above Bijon as a breakout.

842
00:43:50,706 --> 00:43:52,586
Speaker 1: I think Jon's better than Kenneth. Who'd I have?

843
00:43:53,186 --> 00:43:56,186
Speaker 2: Yeah, you had try McBride at three, you had yah

844
00:43:56,266 --> 00:43:57,826
Speaker 2: yah at four, McBride at three.

845
00:43:57,986 --> 00:44:00,426
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's go this that. We're gonna workshop this

846
00:44:01,626 --> 00:44:15,826
Speaker 1: five Yah yeah for McBride three, Walker two, Bjeon one,

847
00:44:17,066 --> 00:44:20,426
Speaker 1: Jaden And is that like holy, that's it? Or someone

848
00:44:20,466 --> 00:44:24,026
Speaker 1: at home gonna say, how is Bijon Robinson a breakout player?

849
00:44:24,026 --> 00:44:26,346
Speaker 1: He's going first overall in fantasy? Maybe I just scrap

850
00:44:26,386 --> 00:44:27,226
Speaker 1: Bejon altogether.

851
00:44:27,506 --> 00:44:29,826
Speaker 2: Say yeah, I think if you left Bijeon off, no

852
00:44:29,866 --> 00:44:33,666
Speaker 2: one would be would be like Wow, He's He's forgetting

853
00:44:33,666 --> 00:44:37,666
Speaker 2: the most obvious thing because I think, like me saying

854
00:44:37,706 --> 00:44:41,226
Speaker 2: Bijeon is not has not broken out yet, is more

855
00:44:41,266 --> 00:44:43,706
Speaker 2: because of how high I think he can get. I

856
00:44:43,786 --> 00:44:45,306
Speaker 2: think he looked amazing last year.

857
00:44:46,026 --> 00:44:51,506
Speaker 1: Okay, with no further ado, we have our list. That's it. Uh.

858
00:44:52,306 --> 00:44:55,426
Speaker 1: Programming note, Good morning Football. Thursday morning, I'll be at

859
00:44:55,466 --> 00:44:59,266
Speaker 1: Jets camp. I'm watching practice, interviewing Aaron Rodgers, not for

860
00:44:59,346 --> 00:45:05,666
Speaker 1: the show, but for my production meeting needs Friday, standard

861
00:45:05,706 --> 00:45:12,906
Speaker 1: issue whatever, Saturday, CBS Local, New York. I'll be with

862
00:45:12,986 --> 00:45:16,666
Speaker 1: Iron Eagle, and I'm calling the Jets Giants preseason game.

863
00:45:16,746 --> 00:45:18,986
Speaker 1: Let's hope we get some starters. If not, I better

864
00:45:19,666 --> 00:45:22,266
Speaker 1: do some research quick. I've been doing it, but like gosh,

865
00:45:22,346 --> 00:45:25,866
Speaker 1: there's only so much Quantes Stiggers information I can offer you.

866
00:45:25,986 --> 00:45:30,226
Speaker 1: He's the chance defensive back. That's a rookie. We'll see.

867
00:45:30,346 --> 00:45:33,066
Speaker 1: I hope to do a good job, but who knows.

868
00:45:33,706 --> 00:45:36,426
Speaker 1: And then next week I'm all from Good Morning Football,

869
00:45:36,586 --> 00:45:39,226
Speaker 1: one last breath, but I think we still might be

870
00:45:39,266 --> 00:45:41,186
Speaker 1: able to do a podcast next week. Maybe I'll get

871
00:45:41,186 --> 00:45:44,106
Speaker 1: a guest. I announced Colton McCoy's retirement. We did that

872
00:45:44,146 --> 00:45:47,426
Speaker 1: in coordination. I love Colt. He texted me and was like,

873
00:45:47,666 --> 00:45:49,666
Speaker 1: why don't you announce it? And then you can get

874
00:45:49,666 --> 00:45:52,586
Speaker 1: some love for it, and then I can just follow up.

875
00:45:52,626 --> 00:45:54,386
Speaker 1: And so maybe I'll get Colt on here because I

876
00:45:54,386 --> 00:45:58,026
Speaker 1: think he's got great stories and it's always been good there.

877
00:45:58,066 --> 00:46:00,706
Speaker 1: It is forty five minutes. That's a podcast, bro. We

878
00:46:00,786 --> 00:46:04,106
Speaker 1: went from Jelly roll to the honor roll of my

879
00:46:04,186 --> 00:46:07,546
