Speaker 1: Chow check in with the Dodgers. Are they on the
Speaker 1: verge of pulling off a big deal where they get
Speaker 1: mookie bets? But they also have to bring in the
Speaker 1: contract of David Price, who I think is still owed
Speaker 1: around ninety five million dollars. I love me some mookie bets.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I love him that much? And
Speaker 1: how will he be in that ballpark? The Padres are
Speaker 1: also involved in the mix here, so we'll check in
Speaker 1: with a great columnists for the La Times, Bill Plashkey
Speaker 1: on the importance of this deal for the Dodgers who
Speaker 1: missed out on Bryce Harper and Garrett Cole and don't
Speaker 1: want to miss out on Mookie Betts. Got a great
Speaker 1: poll question, surprise surprise. If I said the one story
Speaker 1: this year in the NFL season that you'll remember the most,
Speaker 1: will it be the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl, Miles Garrett, Mason,
Speaker 1: Rudolph Fight, Lamar Jackson's emergence, Antonio Brown's career suicide, or
Speaker 1: Andrew luck retirement. Andrew Lux was the biggest surprise of
Speaker 1: the year because that came out of nowhere. And even
Speaker 1: when the story came out, we thought that maybe Adam
Speaker 1: Schefter's Twitter page had been hacked. But Andrew Luck retiring
Speaker 1: after it felt like he finally had an offensive line,
Speaker 1: he had some weapons, and he had turned the corner
Speaker 1: and he was going to be a Hall of Fame quarterback.
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown career meltdown that continues. By the way, Andrew
Speaker 1: Luck still hasn't done any interviews. I don't think I
Speaker 1: haven't heard anything from Andrew Luck. And the Colts are
Speaker 1: now from what I'm told, looking at a quarterback in
Speaker 1: the draft. Now, I told you that I was told
Speaker 1: by an NFL source that Philip Rivers look for him
Speaker 1: to maybe end up with the Indianapolis Colts. That doesn't
Speaker 1: mean they still wouldn't draft a quarterback. But if you're
Speaker 1: moving on from Jacoby Brissette, if you bring in Philip Rivers,
Speaker 1: if that's if that is the scenario, here, are you
Speaker 1: going to bring in a quarterback? And who are you
Speaker 1: bringing in? Where do the Colts draft? McLevin, do you
Speaker 1: know where their selection is? D aut check right now?
Speaker 1: All right? Yeah, Pa, Jacoby Brissette. They gave him kind
Speaker 1: of that two year holding deal for thirty million that
Speaker 1: they can easily get out of. In fifteen games this year,
Speaker 1: he was a sixty one percent pass or three thousand yards,
Speaker 1: eighteen touchdowns, six picks. That's not that's low end for
Speaker 1: a starter. It is, But I don't know if they
Speaker 1: turn him loose, or they turned him loose at any
Speaker 1: point this year I thought he was. Those are just
Speaker 1: called band aid quarterbacks, band aid contracts, that's all that is.
Speaker 1: Because it feels like, are they going to go in
Speaker 1: are they going to go up to get a quarterback?
Speaker 1: That's what I'm curious about. And would they take Philip
Speaker 1: Rivers if you can get him for a one plus
Speaker 1: one deal? Yeah? Mcleven. They hit a number thirteen, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I think Chet had Herbert there and
Speaker 1: they're last mock trafficking out yesterday. Yeah, I mean that,
Speaker 1: I don't think Herbert falls that far. That's pretty well, well,
Speaker 1: it depends on what happens with Cam Newton, Teddy Bridge Water,
Speaker 1: what's going to happen with Philip Rivers. Where's Tom Brady
Speaker 1: going to go? There are quite a few quarterbacks out there,
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, you know, does Tampa go in and get
Speaker 1: a quarterback as well? It feels like you can make
Speaker 1: a case for quite a few teams that they would
Speaker 1: go in and get a quarterback. Speaking of the quarterbacking situation,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, who's been on his victory tour going to
Speaker 1: Disney World, he was asked about his contract extension. This
Speaker 1: is what he had to say to me. That's that's
Speaker 1: stuff that's handled with other people. Obviously, I want to
Speaker 1: be in Kansas City for a long time. I understand that.
Speaker 1: I also want to win a lot of football games here,
Speaker 1: and so for me, it's it's kind of letting that
Speaker 1: stuff handle itself. I'm in a great organization. I have
Speaker 1: a great team of guys working for me. Guys and girls,
Speaker 1: And so for me, it's about trusting those people find
Speaker 1: the best way to do it in order to have
Speaker 1: the best team, the best team around me, and getting
Speaker 1: that done whenever the time is right. Whatever a team
Speaker 1: wins the Super Bowl, the salary cap financial issues aren't
Speaker 1: far behind, because a team can extend a third year
Speaker 1: quarterback Patrick Mahomes this offseason if they want to, or
Speaker 1: they can wait. They can wait, and then he'd hit
Speaker 1: the free agent market. But the Chiefs face an interesting dilemma.
Speaker 1: Do you show your commitment to your best player, the
Speaker 1: best player in the NFL? Do you do that? Now?
Speaker 1: Do you take advantage of that rookie deal as long
Speaker 1: as you can because you know he was the first
Speaker 1: round draft pick. This is different than Dak Prescott because
Speaker 1: Prescott may get that franchise tag. By the way, Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott at the Super Bowl said I'm not showing up
Speaker 1: to camp without a contract. And he even said, and
Speaker 1: make sure you report that the Saints paid Drew Brees.
Speaker 1: They had trouble affording everybody else when they won the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. The Patriots got lucky because Tom Brady took
Speaker 1: a bit less over the year. So we'll see how
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and Mahomes handle this, but it feels like
Speaker 1: Mahomes is going to be the first forty million dollar
Speaker 1: year quarterback and probably a five year deal worth over
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars if you do that. When you
Speaker 1: do that, now you're gonna have this happened with Seattle.
Speaker 1: You know, Russell Wilson was a bargain and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you had to pay Russ and then
Speaker 1: you lost some defensive players. This is why that four
Speaker 1: year window, five year window, when you get that rookie
Speaker 1: quarterback salary, that contract is so important because you want
Speaker 1: to add the pieces to when you get to year three, four,
Speaker 1: maybe five, you're ready to win a championship because after
Speaker 1: that you might want to start over if you don't
Speaker 1: think you have that true quarterback there, because he's going
Speaker 1: to cost you. The Texans are gonna have this with
Speaker 1: to Shaun Watson. So Mahomes and Watson, but Dak Prescott,
Speaker 1: what's he worth? Do you give the Cowboys a little
Speaker 1: bit of a discount here because you want to stay
Speaker 1: as the Cowboys quarterback? Do they need you? Do you
Speaker 1: need them? They did this with Ezekiel Elliott, and you
Speaker 1: eventually got that deal done. But if you're the Cowboys
Speaker 1: and you say we're gonna tag you, then what's Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott think about all of this? Then he's going to
Speaker 1: be playing for a contract again, because that's whomever he
Speaker 1: gambled on himself. And I even ask him that at
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I said he gambled, and he said yeah,
Speaker 1: But I think in his mind he gambled and he
Speaker 1: was going to win, and he's going to win. He's
Speaker 1: going to get paid by somebody somewhere. But the Cowboys
Speaker 1: can't move on from Dak Prescott. Why can't you get
Speaker 1: a deal done? Like? What what is the biggest hold
Speaker 1: up here with Dak Prescott? If he's your quarterback of
Speaker 1: the future and you truly believe in him, But you
Speaker 1: got guys who make a lot of money on that team.
Speaker 1: I mean they got didn't They just paid Jalen Smith
Speaker 1: and you got the offensive line there, Amari Cooper wants
Speaker 1: to get paid. You got Ezekiel Elliot there, Zack Martin,
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith. I mean, you've got You've got some guys
Speaker 1: who were bringing in some paychecks here. Yeah, mcle is
Speaker 1: it unfair that every quarterback has to be a forty
Speaker 1: million dollars. The new quarterback has to set the market.
Speaker 1: Like I know, Kirk Cousins was defending just the agents. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all this is is the agent saying to his clientele,
Speaker 1: look at what I got you because I want I
Speaker 1: want my agent to be smart with me. Do I
Speaker 1: need to be the highest paid quarterback? Or do I
Speaker 1: need to be in the right situation here? And the
Speaker 1: right situation for dak is Dallas. You got a great
Speaker 1: offensive line, you got an owner who is desperate to win.
Speaker 1: He's getting a lot of sponsorships because he's the quarterback
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys. If he's the quarterback for the Jags,
Speaker 1: no one cares. He's the quarterback for the Cowboys. Therefore
Speaker 1: people care. Yeah, I M the club. Do you take
Speaker 1: Less if you're mahomes to keep talent in Kansas City?
Speaker 1: And do you keep Lass if you take Lassiter Prescott.
Speaker 1: I think it's tricky because as Brady took Less. I
Speaker 1: don't know if Brady had any saying who they were drafting, right,
Speaker 1: But you know, you have a better chance to have
Speaker 1: a good team around you if you don't go to
Speaker 1: forty five million a year. Yes, I don't know This
Speaker 1: is just agent driven. This is like Scott Boris when
Speaker 1: somebody says, oh, where's he gonna go? I go where
Speaker 1: he gets the most money. Right, tell me a time
Speaker 1: when Scott Borris had a client on the open market
Speaker 1: and he went for less money. Now you can say
Speaker 1: Steven Strassburg. You know he stayed in Washington. Now, could
Speaker 1: he have gotten more money elsewhere? Yeah, Garrett Cole, did
Speaker 1: he go where he made the most money? Manny Machado,
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, it's look at what I do for my clients.
Speaker 1: Because if I'm a client and I go, I'll sign
Speaker 1: up with Scott Borris. But you don't get top dollars there.
Speaker 1: I'd rather have somebody who said it, I'm gonna look
Speaker 1: out for you and put you in the right place.
Speaker 1: Manny Machado and San Diego, that's fine. Nobody cares about
Speaker 1: Manny Machado and in San Diego they don't. When's the
Speaker 1: last time you went got to tune in to watch
Speaker 1: Manny Machado. Now that doesn't mean you take a haircut
Speaker 1: and you go, hey, I'm gonna play for half of
Speaker 1: that because I can play in a bigger market. I
Speaker 1: said it last hour. Robinson Cano went to Seattle and
Speaker 1: you got all that money and I went no one cares,
Speaker 1: and they didn't. There's only a couple of places where
Speaker 1: you're relevant. Now you can say, hey, I don't care
Speaker 1: about it. I'm gonna make my money. Okay, that's fine,
Speaker 1: make your money. But it's obscurity, you know, Kevin Love,
Speaker 1: you know resigning with the Cavaliers. I was watching last night. Yes,
Speaker 1: I was the one watching the Knickson Cavaliers last night.
Speaker 1: Kevin Love does not want to be there. I don't
Speaker 1: care how much money you're paying him. You don't want
Speaker 1: to be there. There was a play where it was
Speaker 1: a semi fast break and Kevin Love is running down
Speaker 1: the floor and he's running down the lane and Colin
Speaker 1: Sexton has the ball, which means nobody else is getting it.
Speaker 1: And Kevin Love is sprinting down there and he's open
Speaker 1: and he's open for a lamp and Colin Sexton pulls
Speaker 1: up for three. He makes it, but you can see
Speaker 1: Kevin Love going when he doesn't get the ball, He's like,
Speaker 1: oh God, and then he makes the shots. So he
Speaker 1: couldn't be you know that, in that much pain. So
Speaker 1: he hustled back and I'm thinking Kevin loved you know,
Speaker 1: he was in the center of the basketball universe there
Speaker 1: for a while, and then you disappear and we move on.
Speaker 1: But a long winded way of saying, you're gonna have
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes be worth forty million, Dak Prescott is not
Speaker 1: worth that kind of money in my opinion. What's Dak?
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a bargain now because you know he
Speaker 1: wasn't a first round draft pick. Here, what's he made?
Speaker 1: He's making like seven hundred thousand dollars a year because
Speaker 1: of a rookie. Patrick mahomes base salary next year is
Speaker 1: seven hundred and thirty five thousand dollars. He gets a
Speaker 1: two point five million dollars signing bonus because he pro
Speaker 1: rated his rookie signing bonus over four years, and he
Speaker 1: gets a roster bonus at one point two So his
Speaker 1: total compensation next year for Patrick Mahomes is five million dollars.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Well, if you were his agent, would
Speaker 1: you sign him a year early and say, hey, we'll
Speaker 1: take the current state of the union of what you
Speaker 1: get paid, or wait till next year went's unrestricted. Well,
Speaker 1: who is going to get top dollars so what's Dak
Speaker 1: going to get? And then what's Deshaun Watson up? No,
Speaker 1: he's sat up before, but he's negotiating now, okay, and
Speaker 1: they gave rumors that he'll probably do a deal. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'd be curious what they get. And then does that
Speaker 1: influence what Kansas City's going to pay me or what
Speaker 1: I can ask for, Because if Dak Prescott gets thirty
Speaker 1: six million dollars a year, let's say Deshaun Watson then
Speaker 1: comes in and goes, I want more than that, and
Speaker 1: then they give him thirty eight million. Then Mahomes's agent goes, why,
Speaker 1: I'm a whole lot better than those guys. Here, hold
Speaker 1: my beer, I'm gonna tell you how much I want
Speaker 1: forty five million dollars a year. I don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: if it gets into that where you're competitive and you
Speaker 1: say I want to be paid, I want to be
Speaker 1: paid more. How many guys have been the highest baid
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league? Every one of them? Joe Flacco
Speaker 1: is almost there. Yes, yeah, is Russell Wilson the highest
Speaker 1: paid quarterback? Now? He was? I think the day he
Speaker 1: signed he was just like all these guys. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: mclo The one interesting thing is Dak can actually hold
Speaker 1: out where the other guy like because he could be
Speaker 1: tagged and he could be a quarterback hole that which
Speaker 1: is rare? Is that? I mean because he remember he
Speaker 1: was a fourth round pick, so he's up a year
Speaker 1: earlier than those first round guys. Yeah. I don't know,
Speaker 1: it feels like that's a bad situation. Well, look at
Speaker 1: what the Redskins did twice, the Kirk Dee Cousins. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they tagged him twice, but Cousins wasn't thought of as
Speaker 1: highly as Dak. I don't know if it's fair enough.
Speaker 1: I mean, that just seems like a bigger star than
Speaker 1: because he's in Downing. Yeah, and that might be why.
Speaker 1: That's why, but everybody you know Kirk, if Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: was in Tampa, but we wouldn't talk about him. Not
Speaker 1: this way. It's every everybody talks about that. Every talk
Speaker 1: show talks about the Cowboys because they're the most popular
Speaker 1: team in the NFL. That's why Lebron has always spoken
Speaker 1: about he is the most popular and polarizing player in
Speaker 1: the NBA. I mean, this is really simple to figure
Speaker 1: out why topics are brought up and not brought up
Speaker 1: there are other stories that are more relevant. The Cowboys
Speaker 1: they don't even make the playoffs and we're talking about
Speaker 1: Dak But oh my god, Dak Press. Now Mahomes is real.
Speaker 1: They won the Super Bowl. Brady could change a team's
Speaker 1: fortunes by going to some other place. Like those are
Speaker 1: real stories, yes, But doesn't a popular story mean that
Speaker 1: that's what we should be talking about, Like it doesn't
Speaker 1: popularity mean relevancy, Like if everyone wants to talk about Lebron,
Speaker 1: then that's the most relevant story I know. But we
Speaker 1: create storylines that aren't really there, and then those shows
Speaker 1: don't even cover other stories that are valid, that are real.
Speaker 1: I mean, you look, you sell your soul in that
Speaker 1: that's what you want to do, and you want to
Speaker 1: play the hits, then that's fine. I mean that's what
Speaker 1: your show is. Um, I just can't troll this all.
Speaker 1: I just refuse to troll this audience and do that.
Speaker 1: But if it's relevant, then we cover it. It's not like,
Speaker 1: let me see, how do I talk about that Cowboys?
Speaker 1: How do I talk about Lebron today? Well, we should
Speaker 1: be talking about Lebron. It's the most interesting player in
Speaker 1: the end of Okay, what is the story. Well, today
Speaker 1: I don't have it. I don't talk about his number
Speaker 1: as his daughter in the All Star Game, Okay, And
Speaker 1: I'll bring up Lebron to Reggie Miller when he joins
Speaker 1: this next hour. No, but I mean maybe that I
Speaker 1: think we should be talking about the Cowboys more than
Speaker 1: we talk about say the Seahawks or some babe. They're
Speaker 1: just a stable franchise that keeps on winning this. I
Speaker 1: think there's something interesting about these teams. It is interesting.
Speaker 1: But it feels like if all else fails, talk about
Speaker 1: those the Cowboys or the Lakers, and they're putting narrative
Speaker 1: that they're just damn manufacturer I toys here. Yeah, that's all.
Speaker 1: Like there are stories to cover. Let me talk about
Speaker 1: the Cowboys lot because they are a high priced team
Speaker 1: with a high profile owner and tons of good players.
Speaker 1: If there's drama, we talk and we talk about it,
Speaker 1: you know, and Jerry Jones desperate to win a Super Bowl. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: But today, Dak Prescott, that's interesting. If you're gonna tag
Speaker 1: him and he's not going to show up in camp,
Speaker 1: what's this mean for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys this
Speaker 1: upcoming season? And perhaps it'll be another non play off
Speaker 1: appearance for the Cowboys. Yeah, do you expect the spring
Speaker 1: of dak just tons of dact piece of what you
Speaker 1: just absolutely absolutely you almost yes, I do yes, I
Speaker 1: do yes, I do that. And where does two ago?
Speaker 1: And does Joe Burrow want to go to the Bengals?
Speaker 1: Those are gonna be big story lines coming up here,
Speaker 1: even if none of it's true. Is going to be
Speaker 1: a storyline. Yeah, point going back to the Homes. You
Speaker 1: know he's got one more year on a deal and
Speaker 1: then he's going to be the richest quarterback in football history,
Speaker 1: richest player. Is there anything to be said for signing
Speaker 1: a year early? So you get that in the next tract.
Speaker 1: Because he's only twenty four, he's got two contracts ahead
Speaker 1: of him, you would think, and so his agent can
Speaker 1: say to him, I get you paid now instead of
Speaker 1: waiting a year because he's not rich yet. I know
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of endorsements. And then I get
Speaker 1: your next contract at age thirty instead of thirty one,
Speaker 1: And that may be a big difference down the line,
Speaker 1: being a year younger for your second contract. It's like
Speaker 1: the NBA, do you want to get him in as
Speaker 1: fast as you can oh, I would want to if
Speaker 1: if I'm going to extend him. But if I extend him,
Speaker 1: then I know that I'm in a year earlier than
Speaker 1: I need to. Therefore, I'm going to give him forty
Speaker 1: million dollars And the Chiefs may not want that. They
Speaker 1: know they got him for seven hundred thousand. Next Year's like, okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to eat the Patrick Holmes deal, the
Speaker 1: richest one in the history. Can we delay it one year?
Speaker 1: I would want to delay it because I would say
Speaker 1: to him, you're gonna get paid now. He might say,
Speaker 1: what if I get injured, but you're gonna get paid.
Speaker 1: We want to make sure that we have a chance
Speaker 1: to go back to back. I don't know how you
Speaker 1: can argue that that. Hey, we need to afford these
Speaker 1: players to give you that great team around you. Mark
Speaker 1: in Arizona, Hey, Marco, what do you have for me today? Hey?
Speaker 1: Good morning, DP and Dan Etts. Um. First of all,
Speaker 1: this wonderful job over there in the Super Bowl coverage. UM,
Speaker 1: I was just really moved listening to you speak with
Speaker 1: mister West about Kobe. Uh. Nobody covered it like that.
Speaker 1: And um, but as far as the Dak conversation and
Speaker 1: I'm I'm speaking on behalf of all Jerry Jones hostages
Speaker 1: out there. That guy is great off the field, He's
Speaker 1: a great company guy. But he is not worth as
Speaker 1: much as he thinks he is. And honestly, I would
Speaker 1: even consider trading him, um because I mean when when
Speaker 1: Dak misses, he doesn't miss by a little bit, he
Speaker 1: misses by a lot. Yeah, but Marco, then I got
Speaker 1: to start over. And then who am I starting over with?
Speaker 1: If you tell me who the replacement is, what is
Speaker 1: Plan B? Then I'll consider Plan B. But I don't
Speaker 1: know if Plan B is going to be better than
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. No, I hear you, I hear you, But
Speaker 1: I'm remember he was an accidental just like Tony Romo.
Speaker 1: Nobody need Tony Romo was good except for um Sean Payton.
Speaker 1: But I would roll the dice because he just hasn't
Speaker 1: shown enough. He hasn't sees the opportunity. And I mean
Speaker 1: like you can do all the little hip swivels you want,
Speaker 1: but you're not making completion fun. And that's that's what
Speaker 1: the league is about, all right, look at the third
Speaker 1: down conversions? No, I know, I know, I think he
Speaker 1: should be better. Thank you, Marco, because you have a
Speaker 1: great running back and you have a great offensive line. Yes,
Speaker 1: stats are pretty pretty gaudy. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that he's inaccurate. I mean, okay, is
Speaker 1: he one of the top ten quarterbacks in the NFL?
Speaker 1: That's why he's right around? No? No, is he one
Speaker 1: of the top ten quarterbacks in the NFL? Probably I'd
Speaker 1: say he's tenth. Okay, Am I going to spend that
Speaker 1: kind of money on the tenth best quarterback? Because of
Speaker 1: the way the market works? You might have to, but
Speaker 1: you're right, it doesn't make any sense. But in this year,
Speaker 1: forty nine hundred yards, thirty, top tens, eleven, pick six,
Speaker 1: he sa percent pass or complete passing complete. I mean
Speaker 1: everybody does that now, So I don't know what it means.
Speaker 1: A lot of guys had similar numbers, but it's good.
Speaker 1: What were Kirk d cousins numbers this year? Probably maybe
Speaker 1: a little better, and nobody's talking about him as being
Speaker 1: a great quarterback? Yeah. Point. Only four guys in the
Speaker 1: league had over thirty touchdowns this year, Lamar Jackson, Jameis Winston,
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Dak Prescot. Yeah, everyone else is in that
Speaker 1: twenty five to twenty seven. I want to see, you know,
Speaker 1: and maybe it's unfair, but I want to see him
Speaker 1: take over a game, like win a game for you.
Speaker 1: And that could be Jason Garrett. Maybe things changed with
Speaker 1: Mike McCarty. I don't know. I don't get that same feeling.
Speaker 1: I get that I with other quarterbacks, some other quarterbacks
Speaker 1: with jack and you know he's still young. Yeah mcclub.
Speaker 1: Now you're right, Kirk cousins to take better one hundred
Speaker 1: and seven rating twenty six, Yeah, yeah, I mean we
Speaker 1: take better. Yeah, if you don't put you acted gently
Speaker 1: put up four thousand yards like accidentally in the NFL
Speaker 1: he had forty nine hundred. It feels like he accidentally
Speaker 1: put up twenty five touchdowns in the NFL this year
Speaker 1: numbers the touchdowns were down though for quarterbacks, you know,
Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson leading the NFL and touchdown passes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: mc club. I feel though, what about if you get
Speaker 1: rid of Dack, then you might be starting for ground
Speaker 1: zero again. I don't want to get rid of him.
Speaker 1: I just want to know we're going to have a
Speaker 1: deal that we feel is beneficial to both. We want
Speaker 1: you to get the respect you deserve, but we also
Speaker 1: have to be able to afford these other players. We
Speaker 1: want to have a good roster here because that's where
Speaker 1: you really become famous. Yeah. MC club Yo has good numbers.
Speaker 1: Derek Carr has really good Oh yeah, yeah, how'd that
Speaker 1: going for the Raiders? Yeah, it feels like everyone wants
Speaker 1: the new quarterback. There. Let's take a break here. We'll
Speaker 1: get some more phone calls coming up. We'll talk to
Speaker 1: Bill Plashky from the La Times, get his thoughts on
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Are they all in on Mookie Betts? Twenty two?
Speaker 1: After the hour damp Hey, sports fans, I have a
Speaker 1: daily sports podcast I want to tell you about from
Speaker 1: Wondering and The Athletic. It's called The Lead. Now. Wondering

Speaker 1: Zion era it is upon us and what does it
Speaker 1: mean for the NBA. All of that and much much
Speaker 1: more so. If you're looking for the full story behind
Speaker 1: last night's scores and today's hot takes, make sure you
Speaker 1: subscribe to the Lead from Wondering and the Athletic on
Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts or Spotify. What does mccleven say that you
Speaker 1: had a problem with Polis Before the show, we were
Speaker 1: talking about Los Angeles sports and different things with the
Speaker 1: Mookie Betts possible trade of the Dodgers. Mclovin, I'm paraphrasing.
Speaker 1: I think you said that the Dodgers are the number
Speaker 1: one draw in town, and then it goes one. You
Speaker 1: would be the Lakers and down the road. And I said,
Speaker 1: I think that it's stilled. The Lakers Dodgers may be tied,
Speaker 1: but when the Lakers are great and the Dodgers are great,
Speaker 1: it's probably a tie. I don't think one is really
Speaker 1: drastically above each other. Mclovin, Well, it says whatever we
Speaker 1: talk Dodgers. You know, we have this La production crew.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, notes start flying in off interest.
Speaker 1: Feels like the Lakers a little less out than me.
Speaker 1: Lakers are obviously huge, but the Dodgers, and because it's
Speaker 1: notable too, because the rest of the country doesn't care
Speaker 1: about baseball, but like three towns are obsessed with it.
Speaker 1: Springing Bill Pleashky, the La Times columnist and of course
Speaker 1: contributed to Around the Horn. You want to settle this, Bill.
Speaker 1: Number one team in town is that the Dodgers or
Speaker 1: the Lakers. It's the Lakers, And it's not even close
Speaker 1: right now, it's the Lakers by far. Yeah, they've they've
Speaker 1: really just in the past several years. Yeah, I know
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Dodgers because of their TV deal, a lot
Speaker 1: of people can't even see them on TV. So they
Speaker 1: get people are excited about them in October when they
Speaker 1: can watch them on TV. But other than that and
Speaker 1: know it's the Lakers. They've they've captured the huge Swapa
Speaker 1: community as the Kobe Bryant mourning and grieving and period
Speaker 1: has has shown anyone on there. I'm curious about this
Speaker 1: team and the makeup of this team with what happened
Speaker 1: with Kobe as they move on. You know, some teams
Speaker 1: when when there's tragedy, it empowers them, emboldens them, where
Speaker 1: others they get sort of dwarfed by something like this.
Speaker 1: The makeup of this Laker team. Any concerns about this
Speaker 1: as they move forward. Yeah, yeah, that's a great question. Again,
Speaker 1: I don't think we know yet. I think Lebron really
Speaker 1: stepped up big Friday. I mean, in my mind he
Speaker 1: became a Laker on Friday with his five minutes speech
Speaker 1: to the fans. He was really engaged and connected and
Speaker 1: really hit all the right notes. But they you know, then,
Speaker 1: I stated, quote playing Sacramento and they have a huge
Speaker 1: Kobe tribute there, There's gonna be there's gonna be quote
Speaker 1: tributes every place they play this year, and I don't
Speaker 1: think we know how much that's going to weigh on
Speaker 1: the they have this happen again and again and again.
Speaker 1: I think they'll be fine because again because I think
Speaker 1: Lebron's taking the on this mission on his shoulders in
Speaker 1: a way that I haven't seen before. And he's really
Speaker 1: again he's really become part of the part of the town,
Speaker 1: part of the team. So I think they'll be fine.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a great question, because it's gonna have
Speaker 1: to relive what happened again and again and again all
Speaker 1: year long, everywhere around the league, Lakers buying or selling
Speaker 1: trade deadline. I hope. I hope they're buying. I hope
Speaker 1: they're trade. I hope they trade Kyle. Who's going to
Speaker 1: get a shooter and a you know, a three and
Speaker 1: D guy. I think they definitely need that. They're close enough,
Speaker 1: you know, the windows there for them. This is probably
Speaker 1: their best chance to win it. I hope they do it.
Speaker 1: And again this goes back to, you know, a man
Speaker 1: most affected by the Kobe Bryant deaths, you know, was
Speaker 1: so close to him, was Rob Olinka. And you know,
Speaker 1: Rob's gotta you know, Rob has has gone through a terrible,
Speaker 1: terrible time, and so ken the trade deadline was even
Speaker 1: talked about, the Lakers asked them to stend the trade
Speaker 1: deadline for them. They won't do that, of course, but yeah,
Speaker 1: can they make a move. I think they need to
Speaker 1: make a move. I don't think they have enough right now.
Speaker 1: I don't think they have enough to beat the Clippers,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I think they need. They
Speaker 1: need one more shooter, and I think they can and
Speaker 1: they got to can play defense on the wing, and
Speaker 1: I think that that's that's something that they've got to do.
Speaker 1: I believe. What about the Clippers, Well, their whole problem
Speaker 1: is themselves that if they can And it's weird because
Speaker 1: allways talk about load management. Everybody says how it affects
Speaker 1: him in the standings, it affects him in the locker room.
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys haven't put Paul George and Kwhi
Speaker 1: Leonard haven't played together very much. They haven't played together
Speaker 1: as a team very much. There's still chemistry issues. Even
Speaker 1: last night they wanted to beat San Antonio. What they
Speaker 1: had to come back and do in the last couple
Speaker 1: of minutes, They've They've got to get their chemistry issues
Speaker 1: worked out. And I think if they do that, though,
Speaker 1: I think they're the best. I think everybody agrees they're
Speaker 1: the best team in town right now because they're the
Speaker 1: deepest team. They put their best defense if they have
Speaker 1: Patrick Beverley, which the Lakers don't have a Patrick Beverley. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if Kawai and Paul George just turn
Speaker 1: it on automatically and have like, is there load name?
Speaker 1: Is there going to be load management in the playoffs
Speaker 1: for Kawhi Leonard and or Paul Dorley. Yeah? No, you
Speaker 1: know what I know but but I agree with you,
Speaker 1: and I think the rest of the Clippers. Remember, this
Speaker 1: is a team built on a fabric of hard work
Speaker 1: and teamwork, and these guys are on their own schedules,
Speaker 1: and especially Kauai, and I think that, you know, while
Speaker 1: on the outside of while looking at that chick in
Speaker 1: our hands, I think on the inside there's there's some
Speaker 1: of the players are doing the same thing, and so
Speaker 1: I think that's an issue they've gotta get they've gotta
Speaker 1: get resolved. And I pay what I say. One thing
Speaker 1: that will all this load management talk. The Clippers not
Speaker 1: only only the best team in town, they better win
Speaker 1: a championship. After all, they put their fans through it with,
Speaker 1: you know, with all the games, all the games these
Speaker 1: guys have missed because because it keeps saying, well, we'll
Speaker 1: wait and see, we'll wait and see. It's you'll see,
Speaker 1: it'll all pay off. Well, let's you know, I'm sure
Speaker 1: the fans are surely hoping it'll pay off. The better payoff.
Speaker 1: He's Bill Plasky from The Light Times and contributor to
Speaker 1: Around the Horn. Before I get to the Dodgers, I
Speaker 1: saw where Vegas had the Chargers up pretty high on
Speaker 1: the Tom Brady sweepsakes there and also with the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl odds. You know, Vegas using knows before everybody else knows. Uh,
Speaker 1: what's your sense of Tom Brady with the Chargers as
Speaker 1: a possibility. I just I just can't imagine, and I
Speaker 1: just can't imagine you want to come here with no
Speaker 1: I know they're moving into a new stadium, but they're
Speaker 1: a team without a fan base or a team without
Speaker 1: a home. They're a team without any you know, they played.
Speaker 1: They played sixteen road games last year. Their players said that.
Speaker 1: I wrote it, everybody wrote it. It's I don't I
Speaker 1: don't see why he would want to come here. I
Speaker 1: just have no idea why even I'm sure the Chargers
Speaker 1: would take him. They're desperate for anything, for any buzz,
Speaker 1: for anything to kind of watch onto to the town
Speaker 1: and get somebody to pay attention to him. But I
Speaker 1: just don't. I just think it'd be a bad move
Speaker 1: for him. I just think it would be, you know,
Speaker 1: And I still think, and of course you all discussed
Speaker 1: us on the show ad nauseam, but I don't think
Speaker 1: you should stay in New England. That's there his best
Speaker 1: shads of the championship. But he had the Chargers, they
Speaker 1: would love him. I don't see what the upside is
Speaker 1: for him out here. I mean, he's not coming. It's
Speaker 1: like saying you're coming to LA and then you go
Speaker 1: play for the Angels. It's it's, it's it's it's. It's
Speaker 1: worse than that, like saying you go into LA and
Speaker 1: go play for the Ducks. You know the the you
Speaker 1: know the Chargers are not They're not LA. So I
Speaker 1: don't care where. What's what? What's the stadium you're playing in? They?
Speaker 1: You know, it's He's going to be on the road
Speaker 1: for sixteen games a year, and I don't think that's
Speaker 1: the way he wants to end his career. Speaking of
Speaker 1: a star maybe leaving New England, Mookie Bets and the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: I thought the Dodgers might have needed pitching more than
Speaker 1: another outfielder Bill, but uh, you know, Mookie is a
Speaker 1: great a great player. I know you get David Price here.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want David Price at that price,
Speaker 1: but I don't want David. I don't want David Price
Speaker 1: at enty price. I think I think they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to take him to make this deal work. And though
Speaker 1: I think they've they're convinced and the stats will prove
Speaker 1: it out that the really the what's hurt them down
Speaker 1: the stretch the last three years is they've bat at
Speaker 1: about two hundred in the in the in the in
Speaker 1: the in the last playoff series of playoff Gus, you
Speaker 1: know series of the season. They they're hitting, they need
Speaker 1: a stud October hitter. They need a guy who can
Speaker 1: drive the ball, the guy at the top of the order,
Speaker 1: or they somebody and Bets is perfect for that. He
Speaker 1: would put them over the top. And the clearers of
Speaker 1: question everybody in town's asking him is will the Dodger
Speaker 1: management paid the ninety six million dollars to take David
Speaker 1: Price in the deal? That's the hold up right now?
Speaker 1: Will they do that? And I think the pressure is
Speaker 1: on them to do that because they really should have
Speaker 1: had Garrett Cole. They if they had spent the money.
Speaker 1: This is where the richest team in baseball, if you're
Speaker 1: asking me, they're making eight billion dollars on TV deal.
Speaker 1: They should have spent the money to get Garrett Cole.
Speaker 1: They would have had him if they had spent the
Speaker 1: extra thirty or thirty million or so. And it's the
Speaker 1: easiest say, because it's not not my money, but they're
Speaker 1: making money. Handle we're fist over there at your reserving.
Speaker 1: And so the fans had Finally, I think all the
Speaker 1: Andrew over all the October heartbreaks. You know, if the
Speaker 1: first year, everybody's mad at Dave Robertson, they're mad at
Speaker 1: Andrew Freeman. Now everyone's mad at ownership, and they're like
Speaker 1: spending the money. Get it done now, the windows closing,
Speaker 1: and if it means taken on David Price's money, do it.
Speaker 1: But that's if they're If this deal's not done, all
Speaker 1: hell's going to break through us out here, because after
Speaker 1: the hold up is David Price and his contract, and
Speaker 1: I just say, take him, put him in the in
Speaker 1: a this using whenever you however you want to use him,
Speaker 1: take him. Just anything to get Mookie Bets. I think
Speaker 1: that's that done. They think the Dodgers have to make
Speaker 1: this deal. I just wondered about that ballpark with Mookie Bets.
Speaker 1: Is he catered to that ballpark? Oh? I think he's fine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he's catered. Yes, I think I think I
Speaker 1: think he works here. I think it works. He works
Speaker 1: in the outfield. He's a great fielder, And I just
Speaker 1: think it it just gives them a you know, a legitiman.
Speaker 1: This guy the last four years is the second best
Speaker 1: player in baseball to Mike Trout if you ask me.
Speaker 1: And I think the stats will pull that out. I
Speaker 1: just think they need that swagger. They need that stud
Speaker 1: hitter and and more importantly than Frankly. And then whether
Speaker 1: to work in Dodger Stadium because they're to win ninety
Speaker 1: six games and Dodgers stayed in the regular season. Can
Speaker 1: he work in October? Can he get a big hit
Speaker 1: in October? This team cannot get a big hit the
Speaker 1: same as life in October. Can he do it? Because
Speaker 1: because because Cordy Belder is not the guy. Cordy bender
Speaker 1: is not the guy to get It's not been a
Speaker 1: big out clover player. So can this guy become that
Speaker 1: bad guy? That's what they need and that's what this
Speaker 1: would add. And I do think this would You know
Speaker 1: I said this before when when they requirement but Shotle
Speaker 1: to trade the line they require Darvish. I've said, okay
Speaker 1: that that this puts them over the top. Well, I
Speaker 1: think this really does put them over the top. This
Speaker 1: would make them the world serious favorite they've got to
Speaker 1: do this deal. Then they have to do it. David Price,
Speaker 1: be damn, just do it, and the pore sneak in
Speaker 1: and do this. No, I don't know. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't see why they would. The god the guys are
Speaker 1: gonna play there one year. He's not gonna be there
Speaker 1: them more than one year. They're not gonna win anything
Speaker 1: this year they want. They won seventy games last year.
Speaker 1: He's gonna make them, you know, fifteen twenty games better.
Speaker 1: The Potteries would be foolish to do this. They were
Speaker 1: a foolish to sign my child. They just give up,
Speaker 1: podre give up already. Dods. It's no, it's their turn.
Speaker 1: It's their time. Finish it right now, get to finish
Speaker 1: the deal. Ownership anyway, you'll see it's all old ownership.
Speaker 1: And then Dodgers, this is the deal they have to do.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm I'm I'm good vice. They're gonna do it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Bill, we appreciate it. Thanks for driving us.
Speaker 1: That's Bill Plashki Ei Times Columns, a contributor for Around
Speaker 1: the Horn. There's a lot there with what the Dodgers
Speaker 1: are going to do. I just don't know. If you
Speaker 1: need another outfielder as much as I love Mookie Bets,
Speaker 1: yeah you need a guy and have a hit in October.
Speaker 1: But you know, I just want to make sure that
Speaker 1: I'm my pitching staff is going to be great in
Speaker 1: that ballpark. I want I want my pitching staff great. Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 1: Dodger fans are used to their team spending money. They're
Speaker 1: used to all the stuff to just need one title.
Speaker 1: They've been in the playoffs every year, with seven eight
Speaker 1: years in a row. I would say if they've been
Speaker 1: a top three favorite going in the season for gotta
Speaker 1: be five years in quite some time. They've got a
Speaker 1: hundred wins last year, one hundred and four a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. They're another one of those teams that
Speaker 1: we don't care what they do during the regular season,
Speaker 1: like you expect them to be really good. And how
Speaker 1: many teams do we have that where we go, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's nice, nice little regular season. Now what you're gonna
Speaker 1: do in the playoffs? You can win one hundred and five,
Speaker 1: you can one hundred and ten, it doesn't matter. The
Speaker 1: Dodgers are still going to be one of those teams. Yep.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm the club, so funny. The Nationals won
Speaker 1: the World Series in there and zero people's radar. It's
Speaker 1: like we all we talk about is the Dodgers, the
Speaker 1: Red Sox, Yankees. Well, the Dodgers try to get Garrett
Speaker 1: Cole and now they're gonna get Mookie Bests and you
Speaker 1: wonder if that's the smart move for them, and then
Speaker 1: they have to take David Price and because of that,
Speaker 1: Now what are the Red Sox doing? So there is
Speaker 1: there's there's some national headlines with that. There's nothing going
Speaker 1: on with the Nationals right now. What do we like,
Speaker 1: what's the storyline with the Nationals we're supposed to be
Speaker 1: talking about? The reason was? I was like the Dodgers
Speaker 1: reason run but probably said seven trade. Like I'm like,
Speaker 1: who's one of the World Series all those years? I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that Royals won one in there. The Giants
Speaker 1: won a lot in there. Baseball has had a funny
Speaker 1: championship history of late, Like the Dodgers are the best
Speaker 1: team and they haven't gotten over the top. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: your blue bloods aren't winning titles here? You know, the Yankees, Dodgers, no,
Speaker 1: but you know the next roles were a great story
Speaker 1: last year and they got a lot of attention, but
Speaker 1: there's nothing in the off season other than they lose Rendome.
Speaker 1: They lost Bryce Harper before that, and you sign you know,
Speaker 1: Steven Strassberg, So what else is there? Yeah, you can't
Speaker 1: buy a title. I mean, there's just no way around.
Speaker 1: They've lost Harper. You cannot spend your way. Bookie Bets
Speaker 1: is not going to put anyone over the top because
Speaker 1: that three hundred million dollar guy is not winning titles. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just think in the most polarizing also successful franchises
Speaker 1: in this country sports wise, all blue and white, Dodgers, Cowboys, Duke,
Speaker 1: Yankees aren't their main colors All blue and white. That
Speaker 1: means nothing, but doesn't mean anything. That's such a clean look,
Speaker 1: easy to consume. They don't change your uniforms that often.
Speaker 1: Cowboys never changed, they don't even do that color rush
Speaker 1: really stough. Dodgers never change, Duke they don't really tweak
Speaker 1: too much, and the Yankees never ever ever changed. I
Speaker 1: wonder if that branding also helps us consume them. Well,
Speaker 1: you gotta be good. Do you have to be good?
Speaker 1: And they all have a history of being good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it starts with that. There's no doubt and
Speaker 1: then coincidence of having that those college they don't change
Speaker 1: your uniforms every ten seconds like Tampa or teams like that.
Speaker 1: Or maybe this is not nothing, it's just a coincidence. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but then had like other sports, I mean, Golden State
Speaker 1: has it seems like they have a million different uniforms.
Speaker 1: They're too Yeah, they're doing okay, so I guess that
Speaker 1: sort of goes back to the winning thing. But once
Speaker 1: they stop being good, we're not going to talk about
Speaker 1: them anymore. Like when it's Golden State has a couple
Speaker 1: of years in a row of being subpar, they're off
Speaker 1: the radar. Yeah, but they don't have decades of success exactly.
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys have decades of success or decades of
Speaker 1: prominence there it was decades ago. Luckily for them, the
Speaker 1: media is keeping that alive. Yes we are, Yes, we'll
Speaker 1: take a break back after this Theatric Show. Hey, listeners,

Speaker 1: Red g Millerwill Jonas in a half hour from now,
Speaker 1: Charlie and Dayton joins us. Hey, Charlie, what do you
Speaker 1: have for me today? Hey? Dan five two eighty and
Speaker 1: real quick, I just want to thank God Ayton Flyers.
Speaker 1: I was called to defend the Bengals. Man. I got
Speaker 1: to start with Mike Brown real quick, if you'll let me.
Speaker 1: I know he gets a knock for being a cheap,
Speaker 1: but we're one of the only teams that have never
Speaker 1: sold the naming rights to the stadiums, and that's got
Speaker 1: to be worth like a hundred billion dollars. I'm not
Speaker 1: exactly shure, but it's got to be somewhere around that number.
Speaker 1: But but, but, Charlie, But Charlie, is that you think
Speaker 1: that's a good thing they haven't sold the naming rights. Well, well,
Speaker 1: I just I'm not saying it's good or bad. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if he's so like cheaper or after money,
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you just do that? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I feel like it's bad business in today's sports society.
Speaker 1: I mean, you need money and if you if you,
Speaker 1: if you have a chance to make more money, you know,
Speaker 1: then why why would you not? I can't give you know,
Speaker 1: Mike Brown credit because he's not making money or he
Speaker 1: decided not to sell the naming rights to a stadium.
Speaker 1: Everybody's done it. And the only as far as than
Speaker 1: being cheap, the only thing that I've ever seen is
Speaker 1: the indoor practice facility. We don't have one. And that.
Speaker 1: Other than that, they've they've updraded the stadium. They've done
Speaker 1: all that. If you look at our player's salary of
Speaker 1: the last ten years, it's up there with everybody else. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, they've they've tried to bring in people throughout
Speaker 1: the years. Um. And if you look at the current roster,
Speaker 1: Sam Hubbard, Jermaine Pratt, and Jesse Bates all three levels
Speaker 1: of defense, all young guys with a lot of promise
Speaker 1: and hold on try well. I asked him, why did
Speaker 1: the team whenever I see the game on TV, half
Speaker 1: it's half empty at that stadium in Cincinnati. Does we're
Speaker 1: smarter than Browns fans. Thank you, Charlie. I think Charlie's
Speaker 1: trying to convince himself that it's still okay to be
Speaker 1: a Bengals fan. I can't. You don't start out with
Speaker 1: you know, Mike Brown, he didn't sell the naming rights
Speaker 1: to the stadium. Wow, that's a team I love. Yeah,
Speaker 1: point Mike Brown. Still he's a dial up and then
Speaker 1: a computers in the belly. That's not's gonna be proud of.
Speaker 1: The Bengals are known for being cheap. All I have, dude,
Speaker 1: is look at that practice facility. That's been an issue
Speaker 1: for decades. It's isn't outher like an offering? Yes, that's mom.
Speaker 1: That MoMA puff stuff is cute on hard knocks. Yeah.
Speaker 1: A couple of email here from a fifty year old
Speaker 1: cowboy fans their quarterback in the draft you would take
Speaker 1: at seventeen and lad walk No, there isn't. This from
Speaker 1: Ed Torres with all the two a talk to the Lions,
Speaker 1: look to the future and draft to The report was
Speaker 1: to his family is nervous that he could be drafted
Speaker 1: by Detroit. You don't if you're a quarterback. And this
Speaker 1: is another thing I worry about with Joe Burrow. Is
Speaker 1: that coach going to be there after next season? Now
Speaker 1: you might say, well, yeah, you'll keep him because you
Speaker 1: want to have some continuity with Joe Burrow. I just
Speaker 1: don't know if you're going to have. This is why
Speaker 1: I thought that Jay Gruden was going to keep his
Speaker 1: job with Washington because they were drafting Dwayne Haskins and
Speaker 1: then he could attach himself to Dwayne Haskins. And then
Speaker 1: I found out Jay Gruden didn't want Dwayne Haskins. So
Speaker 1: so much for attaching yourself to a quarterback. This is
Speaker 1: from Keenan and Carbondale. Why did the Bears get so
Speaker 1: much flak for taking Trubisky instead of Mahomes or Watson
Speaker 1: while the Niners get a pass they took Solomon Thomas.
Speaker 1: Imagine the Niners would have been what they would have
Speaker 1: been like with Watson or Mahomes on a rookie deal
Speaker 1: instead of Jimmy G. Well, they signed Jimmy g so
Speaker 1: you weren't going to draft a quarterback. I mean, Solomon
Speaker 1: Torre is not worth. Solomon Thomas is not worth that
Speaker 1: you know, high of a draft choice. But he did
Speaker 1: start for him, they played a lot for them, and
Speaker 1: the Bears get blacked because they did take true whisky
Speaker 1: and you didn't need to trade up to get him.
Speaker 1: So we we don't want true whisky. We're not gonna
Speaker 1: tell anybody what we're doing, and we're gonna move up
Speaker 1: and get him. I can't imagine what that conversation must
Speaker 1: have been like where you're going, right, you want to
Speaker 1: you want to trade Oh, you want to trade up?
Speaker 1: John Lynch is probably going the Bears want to trade
Speaker 1: up to get true whisky. Nobody laughed. Nobody laughed. Um, well,
Speaker 1: it's gonna take a little bit to come up and
Speaker 1: get him. We got a lot of people interested in that.
Speaker 1: Uh oh, god, hold on here, you're a part of
Speaker 1: the Solomon Thomas problem. I loved him. You saw that
Speaker 1: ball game. You're like, this guy's a month. I absolutely
Speaker 1: said he was. I thought he was a safe pick,
Speaker 1: and I thought he could he would could turn out
Speaker 1: to be a great player. Absolutely everyone did. He was
Speaker 1: going to no matter what I thought. He was as
Speaker 1: disruptive as any defensive lineman I saw that year coming out.
Speaker 1: Absolutely yes, going back to the Bears trading up. Mc
Speaker 1: glove and I were at that draft and we were
Speaker 1: standing with a bunch of Bears fans at this thing
Speaker 1: outside Philadelphia, and when they traded up, everyone thought they
Speaker 1: were getting Watson, not Mahomes. That was the guy that
