3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: because if you're an NBA junkie, you wait for the

4
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: world to pay attention at the level that they should.

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: If you are a basketball fanatic, you've been waiting since

6

Speaker 1: March madness for meaningful games that actually will draw everybody in.

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: And finally, after what feels like a really long regular season,

8
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: we've gotten to the point that we want to be

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: at all the time. The playoffs are here. The NBA

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: Playoffs are about to begin, and the matchups, I'm not

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: gonna lie, are kind of awesome. It's the Fellas on

Speaker 1: I'm Jason Fitz and you know, look, if you've listened

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: to this show at all, you know that sometimes I'm

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: a little tough or the NBA. Sometimes I'm tough on

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: long regular seasons. Sometimes I'm tough on Major League Baseball.

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: I admit all of these things. But then when we

22
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: finally get to playoff action, that's when the world can rejoice.

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: That's when everybody can step back and say, Okay, now

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: there's no more well we got to see it in

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And this year's playoffs are the perfect example

26
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: of that because, like my whole point when we get

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: to the playoffs versus the regular season is looking at

28
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City. They're the perfect example of what's wrong at

29
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: times with the NBA regular season because Oklahoma City has

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: just had a great regular season, and the first thing

31
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna say is, well, the playoffs are a different

32
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: pre to basketball. The playoffs hit differently throughout, and that

33
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: is the narrative that can end starting now, like this

34
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: is the ultimate test to the narrative of can you

35
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: trust a team until you've seen them do it in

36
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs because the thunder throughout the course of the

37
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: regular season and I I got you now, Anthony, Yeah,

38
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: how are your brother?

39
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: Howel pal?

40
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 2: I feel good? I feel better than you. You said

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: you saund a little rough.

42
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: I wish I could I wish I could reach through

43
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: the microphone and give you a big old hug.

44
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: But I missed you. I missed you last week, buddy.

45
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, how are you? How are we feeling?

46
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 4: No, we got a little bit of the uh spring flu,

47
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 4: so you gotta just you gotta forgive me here.

48
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 3: If I sound a little off.

49
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: Today, you know what. It's uh, it's only gonna make

50
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: the it's it's only gonna make your voice sexier. Like

51
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: there's two different ways that it goes when you're sick.

52
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: You either like if you're me and you sound like

53
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: a Preprojett pre pubescent child. Most of the time. When

54
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: you get sick, you sound like, you know, I don't know,

55
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: I'm some weird version of Kermit the Frog. When I'm sick,

56
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: you have this like just this good quality, like you know,

57
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: Philly sort of Italian vibe. That's just you get sick

58
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, all me is like, uh oh,

59
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: somebody made the boss mad, right, Like you've got like.

60
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: That cool factor to it when it happens like it's good.

61
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: It's good.

62
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 3: Brother. Yeah, Well thanks, bro, I'm geeked.

63
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: Up for you. You're geeked up for me.

64
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, you were talking about the playoffs, so I'm

65
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 4: gek I'm.

66
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: Geeked up for Oklahoma City, dude, Like, I genuinely geeked up,

67
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: like because it just it wears me out. Man. Like

68
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: the thing that wears me out is we spend all

69
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: year watching good teams saying it doesn't matter until they

70
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs. And Oklahoma City, not for nothing,

71
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: is really really really freaking good. And it's a stacked West.

72
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: And the hard part about that is that, like as

73
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: good as they are, it's going to be a gauntlet

74
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: for anybody to get through the West, right, And like,

75
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: I just I want this to happen, just to stop

76
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: the narrative of regular season doesn't matter because playoff basketball

77
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: is so different because at some point it just if

78
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: you want, if you want all of us to embrace

79
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: the entirety of the NBA, then you're gonna have to

80
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: have some semblance of balance between what happens in the

81
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: playoffs and the regular season.

82
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great point. It really is a great point.

83
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 4: I give Okay See a ton of credit because you're right.

84
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: They were a.

85
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 4: Team that tried all year long. They were a team

86
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: that they didn't take off, right, Like, even when they

87
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 4: had to dial back their starters and rest. They're so

88
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 4: deep that their second unit was really good.

89
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 3: So now I'm with you, man, I am.

90
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 4: I think the West, the Western playoffs, the Western Conference

91
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 4: playoffs are going to be incredible because the team that,

92
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 4: like I think is the scary I think both LA

93
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 4: teams are live and the team that I think is

94
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: the scariest is the Clippers.

95
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: And that and let me be the first to be

96
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: honest about what we all do to the Thunder, we're

97
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: doing a little bit to the Clippers. We're letting narratives

98
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: take over things, you know what I mean, Like, the

99
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: Clippers are a much better basketball team than I think

100
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: most people want to acknowledge it because all we continually

101
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: say is yeah, but it's the Clippers, you know. And

102
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: the easy part of the Clippers narrative is a the

103
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: brand of the Clippers is not particularly trustworthy in these situations.

104
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: And then b.

105
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: Harden has a history of just forgetting out of.

106
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: Basketball in the playoffs. So you've got a team like

107
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: the Clippers that I agree with you are live taking

108
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: on a team like the Nuggets, who usually in resume,

109
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: you feel really confident with the Nuggets, but this is

110
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: a team that fired their head coach with a few

111
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: games left in the regular season. Like, let's not pretend

112
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: the Denver isn't in an absolute, like an abject disaster

113
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: phase right now, even if they played pretty good basketball

114
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the year. You can't make it

115
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: change like that right before the playoffs and have me

116
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: feel particularly confident.

117
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 4: No, And here's the thing with Kawhi healthy, he's just

118
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: such a great ballplayer. That team is so dangerous between

119
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 4: hard and playing great ball. Norman Powell, who will give

120
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 4: it consistency, scor and Zubac. I think they're a matchup

121
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 4: night there for Denver. I think Dever is in trouble.

122
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 4: I actually think they're wrong teams favor.

123
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: That's interesting because I mean, in jokicch we trust is

124
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: such an easy thing to say to this, but you're right.

125
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: I think the hard part about the Clippers is that

126
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: we're finally getting the moment we've been waiting the last

127
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: several years for. Like I remember, you know, when Kawhi

128
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: picked the Clippers, and all of a sudden, the sports

129
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: talk narrative was, oh my god, the Clippers gonna you know,

130
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: be better than the Lakers for the next x amount

131
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: of years, and then, as you well know, Paul George

132
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: not well, you know, not not able to stay healthy

133
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: or be any version of Paul George, and all of

134
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: that just continued to implode in front of our eyes,

135
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: very Clipper like, and I do I'll be the first

136
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: to admit like part of the reason with the Clippers

137
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: is because I have trust issues with Harden.

138
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: I've picked Harden before in big games.

139
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: Now this is the Game seven. He's gonna come through

140
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: and you know, as my friend Sarah Spain used to

141
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: always say, he forgets out of basketball in the biggest moments,

142
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: and so I get a little get I get nervous

143
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: in a Nuggets Clippers series that if that series goes

144
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, seven games, and I gotta trust Harden, but

145
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: it Kawhi, you know, becomes a little bit of the

146
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: makeup on that. So it's it's interesting because, like I said,

147
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: usually be really easy to say, hey, given the year in,

148
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: year out success the Nuggets have had in the playoffs,

149
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: I trust Timber in the playoffs. I don't trust anything

150
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: about a brand new you know, a brand new coach

151
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: coming into this thing like that just makes me wildly

152
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: nervous going into the playoffs. It's just I know they

153
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: haven't lost with their interim coach yet, but that's just

154
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: nothing about that makes me feel comfortable.

155
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 4: No, no, and listen, I mean you bring up a

156
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 4: great point about Harden. I I saw it live right,

157
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 4: like right, there was a series against the last time

158
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 4: the Sixers were actually like legitimate, they were playing the

159
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: Celtics a couple of years ago. They were up three

160
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 4: to two, they had a chance to close the game

161
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 4: out in Philadelphia, and Harden, who was spectacular in two

162
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 4: of the games, was just awful and then he quit

163
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: in Game seven, and then that was it and him

164
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 4: and em Bean and that's where they really kind of

165
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 4: got that lost Moniker thing. But I think Kawhi Kunter

166
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 4: acts anything big game worry with Harden.

167
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: I think that Leonard just counteracts that.

168
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 4: He he we almost He's probably the best basketball player

169
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 4: underrated player over the last you know, thirty years. He's

170
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 4: a great we forget because of the injury, and he's

171
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 4: you know, very mercurial.

172
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 3: He is a great, great ball player.

173
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 4: Like when he talked Toronto to the jambions hip, that

174
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 4: was all.

175
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 5: The him well, and he doesn't have the same force

176
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 5: of marketing himself that some of the NBA players have,

177
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 5: Like he seems to be comfortable being quieter.

178
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: It's interesting because like, look, I think if you were

179
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: gonna tell me right now that we can get Clippers

180
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: Lakers in the Western Conference Final, that's a sexy matchup

181
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: for obvious reasons, like just for conversation points, like you know,

182
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: here I am saying I want the Thunder to advance,

183
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: but if you give me Clippers Lakers, that would feel

184
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: pretty sexy. I'm not gonna lie and this Clippers team

185
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: if they're able to go on a run. I just

186
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: there's a part of me, as a fan of a

187
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: team that sucks every year in every sport, there's a

188
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: part of me that will always say, hey, it's just time.

189
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: You know, a Clippers run would be a beautiful like

190
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: a Thunder run is a great story because I think

191
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: we remember Oklahoma City more for the way it was

192
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: dismantled them for the sex success that they had when

193
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: they had the guys they had. I think we remember

194
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: the Clippers is a brand for their failures all the time.

195
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: So like in these situations, it's just you know, there's

196
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: this this Disney movie ending I would love of the

197
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: Clippers finally going on a run and getting a championship,

198
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: taking down the Lakers in the process. Like that's the

199
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: ultimate rudy sort of story that we could we could

200
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: absolutely use coming out of the West. I think I

201
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: think there's there's charm to the Clippers coming through, which

202
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: sounds wildly condescending to the great players that they have.

203
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: It just feels like, as a brand, I want the

204
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: Clippers to go on a run.

205
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 4: No lit I feel you, man, I get it, Like

206
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 4: my heart will be with Okac because I think they

207
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 4: deserve it.

208
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: And you know, I love SGA.

209
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 4: I love the depth of that team and the I

210
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 4: have a soft spot for a team that really tried.

211
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 4: You brought it up earlier about how they try all

212
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 4: season long, Like I love that. I respect that, and

213
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 4: to me, the gods should reward that. But I do think,

214
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 4: but I do you think the Clippers can be dancey

215
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 4: and then the Lakers?

216
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: Dude?

217
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: Like you know, I mean that team's.

218
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 4: Good, that the whole dynamic exchanged. And how about the

219
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 4: week that Nico Harrison had.

220
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: Like, I mean, there's just nothing at this point. Nico

221
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: just needs to, you know, just to hide. He just

222
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: needs to go away for a minute.

223
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 4: I want to have a plass conference without cameras and recorders. Now, Listen,

224
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 4: I was a beat writer, right, so I knew like

225
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 4: there are times when you would have a session with

226
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 4: the writers, which is fine, but to say no, no

227
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 4: recorders and in this ey and age, not a camera.

228
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: Wow. When when you make a move like trading Luca,

229
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: you have to be so confident in it that you're

230
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: willing to answer every question that's just And you know,

231
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: I've read a lot of the transcripts from those and

232
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: he gets testy every time he's asked about it, and

233
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: he gives the answer of like, well, I've already answered this,

234
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: and the fact is he isn't. He hasn't. He hasn't

235
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: answered so many of the follow up questions from qualified

236
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: writers that like, I understand that at some point it

237
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: gets just boring when you're sitting there having to answer

238
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: the same question over and over and over again. But

239
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: I also understand that the job of the writers covering

240
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: that team, and Frank think the writers covering the NBA

241
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: is to try and get more of a sense of

242
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: the why and the how of everything that went down.

243
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: And that's where Nico's basically saying I did it, I

244
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: want to move on. That's awesome, but that's not the

245
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: way the world works, especially if you actually, like I'm

246
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: not a journalist, my friend, I've never never hidden that,

247
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: but as someone that has been and is you, it's

248
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: part of your wiring. I just think the journalists have

249
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: should have every right and opportunity to answer or to

250
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: ask you as many questions about the process, and Nico

251
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: has to be comfortable answering that, like you just you

252
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: cannot make that move and not think that they you're

253
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: going to be just asked about it for years to come.

254
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: You just have to be prepared for it.

255
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 4: Exactly exactly. The Lakers go or run. They have life

256
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 4: infused in them because of Luca. Luca goes on. You know,

257
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 4: these gms, they only speak, you know, a couple times

258
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: a year. They'll do a preseason kind of get together

259
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 4: state in the franchise once in a while. If you're lucky,

260
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 4: you get them you know, once or twice during the season,

261
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 4: and then there's always.

262
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 3: A postseason wrap up. And it's amazing.

263
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 4: I don't know where these gms suddenly became like, you know,

264
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 4: presidents of.

265
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 3: Of you know, State. I mean It's unbelievable.

266
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 4: These dudes don't talk like, they don't answer like you

267
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 4: have one these press conferences and they're controlled. It's like, dude,

268
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 4: you trade Luca dodgits, You're this is on a griddle.

269
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I mean you train Luka Doncic. You You've

270
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: got to be prepared, prepared for every single question, and

271
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: you've just got to know that there is one ultimate,

272
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: oh my god that can't happen and that'll make it

273
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: ever go away, and that's Luca immediately going to the

274
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: Lakers and winning a championship. And there's a very real

275
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: chance that Luca has gone immediately to the Lakers and

276
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: may very well immediately win a championship. But that's just

277
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: you know, the MAVs are sitting at home and now

278
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: all the players can finally stop answering questions on behalf

279
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: of their GM because he's not answering any of them.

280
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: It's it's it's shocking. We got a lot to break down.

281
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna break down obviously. The NFL drafted acres are

282
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,239
Speaker 1: less than a week and away.

283
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 4: That I can't wait. This is awesome, dude, I can't

284
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 4: wait for it.

285
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am beyond stoked. We'll get into the NBA playoffs,

286
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: but I want to get Anthony's coming up next. Yeah,

287
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: it's all It's all oh here right now. It's amazing.

288
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: By the way, I know, I was about to take

289
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: a free quick. It's what's crazy to me is that

290
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: we have actual NBA playoffs, we have actual NHL playoffs,

291
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: and the most talked about thing this week, the most

292
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: watched thing this week will be and it's not even close,

293
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: the drafting of a bunch of players, most of whom

294
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: won't work out. And that and I'm saying that is

295
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: the biggest draft fan in the world. All of that

296
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: to say, Aaron Rodgers spoke and it actually has huge

297
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: implications on this week's draft. Will tell you about it,

298
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: what it means, not just for what he already said,

299
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: but what it means for next week. We'll do that

300

326
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio, Tempting the gods this early in

327
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: the morning and Aaron Rodgers spoke last week on Pat McAfee,

328
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: and I want to be clear first and foremost.

329
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: You know, we don't need to rehash everything from you

330
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: know what he said.

331
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: It's fine. He came out and gave his sort of

332
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: peace to the world of he's dealing with some things

333
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: in his personal inner circle that have him not sure

334
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: he's ready to commit on where to play and what

335
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: he's going to do. He made it clear he's not

336
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: keeping anybody beholden to him. He's let everybody know with

337
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers and anywhere else that he's not sure where

338
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: things stand, and let everybody know he's willing to play cheap,

339
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: but he's not sure right now. Retirement could still be

340
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: on the table. And I looked at all of this

341
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: and this was the most stunning part of it to me, Anthony.

342
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: For next week, because the NFL Draft starts on Thursday,

343
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: we knew coming into the off season that there were

344
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: a limited number of quarterbacks and there would be a

345
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: bit of a musical chairs happening. And somebody, whenever you've

346
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: played musical chairs as a kid, was always left without

347
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: a seat. I am done that as we sit here

348
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: right now, there's a very real chance that the team

349
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: left without a seat is the Pittsburgh Steelers, one of

350
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: the best run, most respected organizations in all of sports,

351
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: could literally be sitting here saying we got Mason Rudolph

352
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: and no, like they're picking twenty first on Thursday. And

353
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: now if they don't know if they can commit to

354
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, which we all thought might be the case,

355
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: the question is do they have to get desperate And

356
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: this is a terrible quarterback class to get desperate for, Like,

357
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: this isn't the class to give up future resources to

358
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: move up to get one of these guys. These guys

359
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: need to sit and need time to develop, and like,

360
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: that doesn't feel like the Steelers plan, Anthony. I'm just

361
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: stunned that such a smart organization has been left standing

362
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: with no real option to quarterback. If Aaron Rodgers doesn't play.

363
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 4: No, and here's the thing now, I will tell you,

364
00:18:51,160 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 4: I believe where's the draft green Bay? Yeah, Thursday, ros

365
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 4: tells you he's coming to Pittsburgh.

366
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: Oh, he takes the thunder, he takes the moment.

367
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 4: Yes, I believe that he wants the headlines and he

368
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 4: wants to let everybody know, especially after you know how

369
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 4: last year went down. My prediction is Thursday is Aaron Rodgers'

370
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 4: Day and he tries to steal the thunder and he

371
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 4: announced makes some brand announcement He's gonna sign with the

372
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 4: Steelers and blah blah blah.

373
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: I first and foremost, that's why you're a writer, brother,

374
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: because like I need, I needed you to write the

375
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: script for me, because this is brilliant.

376
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: I'm buying it all. I'm just imagining.

377
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: As they're about to start the draft, Aaron Rodgers announced

378
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: he's announces he's gonna sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Schefty

379
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: has to break into it. And then we spend every

380
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: single time somebody's on the clock because like, look, the

381
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: Schador thing is is real. I can't tell I can't

382
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: say it loud enough. Everybody I talk to that I

383
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: think is well plugged in with the draft. It is

384
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: very real that people have absolutely no sense of where

385
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: should do is gonna go? Which means if we start

386
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: hitting pick eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, and should we

387
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: are sitting there like if if, as many people believe,

388
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: if the Saints are going to be the quarterback, good, Yeah,

389
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: I think the Saints are taking Jackson Dart If they

390
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: go quarterback, that's what I keep hearing. So if that's

391
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen, then the free fall of Chaudeur, and

392
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: not that I root for that, but that's the inevitability

393
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,959
Speaker 1: becomes the biggest story. If if Aaron Rodgers, you know,

394
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: signs with the Steelers that day, that only.

395
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 2: Adds another layer to the how far will shoudu Ur fall?

396
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: Conversation, because once we get past the Saints, everybody's gonna

397
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: be looking at specifically the Steelers and ask him when

398
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: are they moving up to?

399
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, so a couple of things here. One, I hear

400
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 4: the Saints you're gonna take a defensive player at.

401
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: Mot Oh wow, that would be a shock.

402
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

403
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 4: I also hear that. Now second round is different story.

404
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 4: They could trade also trade back up, but I don't.

405
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 4: I don't think they take a quarterback at nine. I

406
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 4: also don't think you look at your door man, that

407
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 4: would be an awful spot for him to have to

408
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 4: play next year. He's got to go to a place

409
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 4: where he can sit and learn. Like he's not ready

410
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 4: to play meaningful snaps next year. There's not a lot

411
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 4: of kids in this draft that you could plug and

412
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 4: play like, let me ask you a question, because you're

413
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 4: very plugged in when it comes to the draft too,

414
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 4: what are you hearing about dart?

415
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: So the conversation on dart, the knock on dart has

416
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: been the lane Kivin's offense doesn't require him to do

417
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: a lot of reading. The positive on Dart to the

418
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: draft process has been that his board work and his recollection,

419
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: his his quarterback mind has been far better than a

420
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: lot of people expected. So what I've heard is that

421
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: he's worked his way up draft boards in part because

422
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: his film shows that, I think Albert Byer pointed this

423
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: out the other day too, that he steps up in

424
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: the pocket when the pressure's coming, So people like his

425
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: ability as opposed to Schadur running backwards. And then the

426
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: other part of it is that his actual like meetings

427
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: have gone well, not from a we like this kid's personality,

428
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: but from the board work where he's breaking down plays

429
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: and the whys and the house like people have been

430
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: happier with his quarterback mind than they expected. So that's

431
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: that's part of Like, I'm pretty competent at this point, he.

432
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 4: Real quickly stated interject I've heard a lot of the

433
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 4: some of that, but also that they're not is thrilled

434
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 4: with him. I mean I don't want to, I mean

435
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 4: I don't want to disparage him, but that could have

436
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 4: shocked that they were kind of not as high on

437
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 4: him as a quarterback. That leader want to love it

438
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 4: the whole thing. That's why. That's why I was curious,

439
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 4: see if you had heard.

440
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: That, because well, and I mean one one really smart

441
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: person told me that there's a reason that his board,

442
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: like his agent and his team around him is making

443
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: sure that we all find out how good some of

444
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: these meetings have gone from a but everybody keeps stressing

445
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: to me that it's from a quarterback standpoint, not from

446
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: a personality standpoint. So it's interesting because, yeah, those those

447
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: intangibles are there.

448
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: I mean the Saints not for nothing like they Yeah,

449
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 2: they could.

450
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: Be stuck here. I mean the Saints could be equally

451
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: stuck when it comes to if Derek Carr decides to

452
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: get their shoulder surgery.

453
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: They don't have a go I mean where they're going

454
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 2: to roll out Spencer Rattler.

455
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: But I think the Saints also have to understand that

456
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: they're not in a situation to compete this year and

457
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: you said something earlier that I think we have to

458
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: drill down on for a second, these quarterbacks. If you

459
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: tell me any team, I don't care what team we're

460
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: talking about, If you tell me a competent organization is

461
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: going to draft almost any of these quarterbacks and not

462
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: play them for the next two years. I think there's

463
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: plenty of quarterbacks in this draft. They could turn out

464
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: to be Okay, they could turn out to not be. Like,

465
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm not saying there's a Joe Burrow, but I think

466
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: that whether we're talking about Jackson Tart or Shador Sanders

467
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: or Jaylen Milroe or Quinn Ewers or Will Howard, Like

468
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: you go up Kyle McCord.

469
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll definitely at McCord to that list.

470
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: I think if you if you tell me that they're

471
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: gonna sit somewhere stable for two years and then play,

472
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: I think you've got you've got a potential. Hey, like,

473
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: we've got a guy, maybe not the guy, but we've

474
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: got a guy that we can live with. The problem

475
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: is most of these teams are not likely to do that.

476
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: When guys are drafted, like I will make the argument

477
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: all day long that a free fall of Schador standards

478
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: in the draft status draft stock will actually help the

479
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: future of his career.

480
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would. I would agree with that. I would

481
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 4: let me get back to the Saints for one second

482
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 4: with it. Listen to me, would you be shocked if

483
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 4: New Orleans Lawrence still may take a quarterback second third round?

484
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 4: But would you be shocked if they said, you know what,

485
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 4: we got a first year coach, We got time, so

486
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 4: we got a lot of we're gonna we will have

487
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 4: the fans understanding it's to rebuild.

488
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: Why not wait for Manning?

489
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean, best player available and wait for next year's

490
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: class is a brilliant strategy. I look, I'm you're right

491
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: about that. I don't on a question at all. And

492
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: in fact, look when you talk about what the beginning

493
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: of the second looks like. This is why I was

494
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: asked the other day for my boldest prediction for this

495
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: year's draft for Yahoo, and my boldest prediction was that

496
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks would go in the first round. And I

497
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: don't think four should necessarily, but I keep thinking about

498
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: the fact that Cleveland picks at the top of the

499
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: second round, and I don't think the Browns are gonna

500
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: take a quarterback at two. So now everybody that's sitting

501
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: here looking at whoever they love, whether it's Jaylen Milroe

502
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: or one of these other guys. I think what you're

503
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: gonna see is people realize, hey, we got we got

504
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: to trade ahead of Cleveland because Stefanski can, Stefanski can

505
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: get his quarterback and have a little patience from ownership

506
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: while they develop him get him in the second round.

507
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,479
Speaker 1: So I think you're gonna see, you know, you're If

508
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: you're right and the Saints don't go quarterback, then that

509
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: makes it a little tougher. But I just wouldn't be

510
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: surprised to see in my mind, you know, Jackson goes nine,

511
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: Shador goes in the middle of the first round to

512
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: wherever the Steelers move up to, and then late in

513
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: the late twenties, there's gonna be a lot of phone

514
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: calls coming from teams like the Giants and team like

515
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: the Raiders and teams like you know, Cleveland, even if

516
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: they're worried about those teams moving in, teams like the Saints,

517
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: everybody moving back into the bottom of the first round

518
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: just to get ahead of Cleveland at the top of

519
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: the second to get that quarterback.

520
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be interesting. I don't.

521
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 4: I don't think there there's gonna be four. I mean,

522
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 4: you could be right. I mean, it'll be interesting to

523
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 4: find out. I just think it makes a lot of

524
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 4: sense for New Orleans to say, I'm gonna go and

525
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 4: wait for Arch. Now, I'm still going to take a

526
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 4: quarterback at some point, And maybe they do, because I

527
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 4: do know they like McCord, Like I could see them

528
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 4: going with McCord later and then you know, and then

529
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 4: figuring you wait for Arch. Right, this way, you got

530
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 4: two that you're developing. I mean, here's the question now

531
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 4: for this at you, if you're if you're New Orleans,

532
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 4: is it sound to wait for Arch? And by the way,

533
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 4: Arch is interesting right because he goes into his junior

534
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 4: year not having played a time. Now you know what

535
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 4: kind of the town he is. You know what he's got.

536
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 4: You know, he's got everything from the bloodlines to just

537
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 4: in limited time, you see what he can do. But

538
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 4: you're also saying that he's definitely going to come out.

539
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 4: Remember Peyton went back to Tennessee after his junior year.

540
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 4: He could have went out, been the number one pick

541
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 4: and decided to go back for his senior year.

542
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: That's what would make me nervous. The biggest thing about

543
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: Archer would make me nervous is that you know, no

544
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: matter what happens, whether Texas doesn't fulfill the manifest destiny

545
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: of dirty around and winning a championship with the Arch

546
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: or whether they do. I mean, if your arch you

547
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: finally get the chance to play, and they've been very

548
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: patient as a family in trusting his development. By the way,

566
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: because playing the waiting game presumes so much and one

567
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: thing you can't You can't know whether or not Arts

568
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: is gonna come out next year. You also can't know

569
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: if somebody else is gonna suck. More. Like, just think

570
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: about how this year, when we got to the end

571
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: of the year, one win is the difference, Like the

572
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: Patriots winning a useless Week eighteen game with Joe Milton

573
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: going off against the Bills, who played basically nobody, is

574
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: the reason that they're picking forth and instead of getting this,

575
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: you know, having the opportunity at Travis Hunter, for example,

576
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: they're more likely to get the best offensive lineman on

577
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: the board. Not that that's a bad thing, but you

578
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: just it shows how the variables are something you just

579
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: can't predict. So unlike tanking in the NBA, tanking in

580
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. Just it's so hard because this year particularly,

581
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: it's stuck in my head that there were what seven

582
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: teams that won four or less games like, that's just

583
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 1: that's gross. I don't know how you suck more than

584
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: everybody else.

585
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 3: Now it's a great point too.

586
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 4: I mean, now I do think they should get their

587
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 4: offensive line out right, they should get Campbell. Yeah, but

588
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 4: you're right. I mean there's a huge drop off. I mean,

589
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 4: if you got a chance that they you know, you

590
00:30:55,320 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 4: could get Hunter or at dual Carter. Because I'm a

591
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 4: huge Abdul Carter fan, I think that kids is not.

592
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: Man me too. I like, look, if the guys that

593
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: I think are can't miss, not to say that they'll

594
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: result a million wins, but I think Abdul Carters can't

595
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: miss as close as you can in a draft. I

596
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: think Travis Hunter gets that label for me, Ashtan Genty

597
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: gets that label, and Mason Graham is about as close

598
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: to that label as you can give somebody. I really

599
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: like Mason Gramm the defensive tackle out of Michigan. So

600
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: I think those are your four. Those are your four.

601
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,959
Speaker 1: The linemen are a little trickier. I rely on, you know,

602
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of a committee of fat guys that I

603
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: rely on for lineman information because it's such a hard

604
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: position for most of us to know a lot about

605
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: like guys like me. And what's really tough is that

606
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: every lineman I asked seems to be a little bit

607
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: split on these linemen like people, they're really passionate about

608
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: the guy they like, and they're really not passionate about

609
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: the guys they don't. So it's it's this is a

610
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: more split lineman class that I'm used to. So I

611
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: would say that I'm comfortable with the four of them,

612
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: and then the lineman is really about flavor of ice cream.

613
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: And I didn't mention cam Warden this because I just

614
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: don't know. And cam Ward is, you know, the quietest

615
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: first overall pick I can remember, because he's a quarterback

616
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: and he's going to Tennessee, and you would think that

617
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback being drafted first overall would be the big

618
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: hubbub of the draft, and it just feels like nobody cares.

619
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I'm with you, if you had to

620
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 4: say that, you're betting on that player, right like, so

621
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 4: you're right, hunter, Carter genty Gram.

622
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 3: I'd also throw in Warren.

623
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 4: I mean he's a tight end though, right like, so

624
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 4: you have to take the position for what it is,

625
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 4: But I think he's a Cam' miss tight end.

626
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. I look, we'll keep breaking that out because that

627
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: brings up positional value, and I think there's maybe we

628
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: think of positional value the long way when it comes

629
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: to the NFL Draft. I'll tell you what we mean

630

640
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: The NFL Draft is just a few days away, Anthony

641
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: and positional value is a big conversation this year, particularly

642
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: because Ashton Genty is projected to be a top ten

643
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: pick in almost every mock and then the question becomes, well,

644
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,479
Speaker 1: can you spend that much on a running back and

645
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: you can get running backs later in the draft, and

646
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, I just I want to oversimplify for a second.

647
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: This will be my eighth or ninth year doing NFL

648
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: Draft live stream work. Right, I've done it every of

649
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: my career in this profession, and I think the number

650
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: of times that I oversimplify this, but we see everybody

651
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: get cute and I just don't understand it. Like at

652
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: the end of the day, because you were just talking

653
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: about Tyler Warrens a tight end, can you justify taking

654
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: a tight end that high? And look, the fact is

655
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: no one player is going to win most teams games.

656
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: Like Brock Bauers had an incredible rookie season and that

657
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 1: didn't result in a lot of wins for the Raiders.

658
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett is Miles Garrett. How many games do the

659
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: Browns win? Max Crosby the same way, Like you can

660
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: have other than quarterback, you can have a great player

661
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: at any position. Then it doesn't necessarily mean that you're

662
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: gonna win a lot of football games. So at the

663
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: end of the day, you got to accept it. You

664
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: need to draft and build a fifty three man rosters.

665
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: Why I continually say it just takes time to build

666
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: a truly good football team. But in that process, like

667
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: what do the Eagles always do, Like when the board

668
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 1: gets to them, it just feels like the Eagles, either

669
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: because they're smart, or because they're lucky, or because they're good.

670
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: I don't no the Eagles. The Ravens have done this

671
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: for years. They just sit there and they're like, Oh,

672
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: there's this great player available. I'm not over gonna I'm

673
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: not gonna overthink it. I'm just gonna take him. Like

674
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: if your team, if your favorite team for anyone listening,

675
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: sucks and they have the chance to take Titler War

676
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: and your answer is, well, you can't draft a tight

677
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: end that high. I just think that's stupid. At some point,

678
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: you just got to look at it and say, you

679
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: know what, this guy is clear If he is clearly

680
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: the best player on my board, I'm simply gonna take him.

681
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: If there's a tie, if you got two guys you

682
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: like equally, then sure give me positional value as a

683
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: tiebreaker if you absolutely must. I just think that at

684
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: the end of the day, if you're the Raiders, the Jets,

685
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: the Panthers, if the Patriots, if you're just roster sucks,

686
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: go get good football players and don't worry about what

687
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: position they play.

688
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 4: Now I hear you, I'll push back just a little

689
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 4: bit because like the Eagles have taken two that they've

690
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 4: drafted four tight ends in the last twenty five years

691
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 4: drafted period. About where they've drafted, Like, I'm with you

692
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 4: to just want just to some extent, I think you

693
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 4: have to lean heavier on your fronts right Like there

694
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 4: are positions that they don't they won't go near early

695
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 4: like linebacker, safety and tight end.

696
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, like second.

697
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 4: Round, but first round and that high. I think it's

698
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 4: important what you said earlier the preface it all by saying,

699
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 4: you know, if it's a tie, you got to go

700
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 4: with positional value.

701
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 3: I think they do lean more towards.

702
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 4: I've had these conversations with Howie Roseman, and you know,

703
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 4: I do think it's important that you lean with trenches.

704
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 4: Right Like, they win, and the reason why they've had

705
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 4: success in this last decade is because of the trenches

706
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 4: they've built up their D line and their own line.

707
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 4: I was having a conversation recently the other day with

708
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 4: somebody there about why they won, and they won because

709
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 4: they they felt other teams would tap out that their

710
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 4: defense was so nasty and as a team offensive line

711
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 4: right at their D line, that they were so physical

712
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 4: that they expected teams to tap out against them.

713
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: I think when I think of the Eagles the way

714
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: I think of a draft strategy for the Eagles, And

715
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: this is just this is a gut feeling more than

716
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: me sitting here looking at their board for the last

717
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: ten years. I don't have it up in front of me,

718
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: but I will say this. The sense I always get

719
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: is when you mentioned the trenches, the way they apply

720
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: to my conversation is a little bit like it doesn't

721
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: matter if there's a perceived they don't need a defensive lineman.

722
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: They're going to take that. Like if that guy is

723
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 1: on the board, they're gonna take him, you know what

724
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 1: I mean. And there's where, because I've heard some people

725
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: even say with abdul Carter, where if you already have

726
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, you really need abdul Carter? Yes? He answers

727
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: you too. You know, if you have Maxrow abdul Carter, yes, yes,

728
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: or as you do, if you have a stacked defensive line,

729
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: do you really need Mason Graham? Yes, you do. Like

730
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't think you can have enough defensive lineman. I

731
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: don't think you can have enough. Frankly, I don't think

732
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: you can have enough offensive lineman anymore. Like I do

733
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: genuinely believe that at some point positional value And you're right,

734
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, certainly you don't take a punter or a

735
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: kicker in the first round. Safety is such an interesting

736
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: you know, but it feels like part of this luck

737
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: or good I don't know, but Quinya Mitchell was clearly

738
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: the corner everybody knew was the best corner going last year.

739
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 1: And the Eagles didn't get cute. They just sat there

740
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: today the best quarter is available, like he's the best

741
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: guy on our board. Cooper de Gene is somebody that

742
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 1: you know they look brilliant for. But I think most

743
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: of us that covered any college football were sitting there saying,

744
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: how's this kid still available?

745
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 3: That way?

746
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: Like how is how is he still on the board?

747
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 3: And whis Nolan Smith?

748
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 4: I still don't know how Nolan Smith was avalable at thirty.

749
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: And that's part of what I'm talking about, Like I

750
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: think sometimes you just got to look at it and say, hey,

751
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: this guy's a monster, and we're gonna bring monsters on

752
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: this team. And when you talk about some of the guys,

753
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: and that's where I would apply the Ashton Genty conversation.

754
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: Does it mean you're winning a Super Bowl if you

755
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: draft Gent? No? But like I want monsters, I want

756
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: game wreckers. You know, game wreckers are everything Anthony.

757
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 3: I dude, when it comes to Genty.

758
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 4: Like I would go, like, if you're the Cowboys, what

759
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 4: in the world. I would do whatever I can to

760
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 4: move up to get Genty. And I know you've been

761
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 4: a bit before and you took ze Kai early and

762
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 4: it's a running back and all that stuff. If I'm

763
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, he's exactly what we get me excited for

764
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 4: this season that could actually make this season something for me.

765
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, Ashton Gent is so rare, and that's where

766
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: it gets really difficult when people say you can get

767
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: a running back, Yeah you can. You can get a

768
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: running back, can't get an Ashton Genty. We'll keep bringing

769
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: out where the right spot is for Ashton and how

770
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: aggressive team should be. When we come back, it's the

771
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:12,360

Speaker 2: I am proud of you.

781
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: WHOA, he's Anthony Gargano. I'm just saying, like, you know,

782
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 1: we're talking about what three am, West Coast time. Like

783
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: if you're if you're up listening to sports talk grooming

784
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: with the music, you gotta smile on your face. I'm

785
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: just presuming, Anthony, I'm just presuming we were just talking

786
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: about the NFL draft. They were just talking about the

787
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: Ashton gent conversation, and let's start here. It's a very

788
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: very base of it. Okay, what right now has become

789
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: the big conversation as well. You can get a running

790
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: back anywhere in the draft, and look, this is a deep.

791
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 2: And talented running back class. Like two things can be true.

792
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of running backs in this class that

793
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people like I think that's very true.

794
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: But if you had the chance to draft a really

795
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: good running back orft Saquon, I think there's a difference

796
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: and look, Ashton Genty is in my mind one of

797
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: those special, rare combinations that feels a lot more like

798
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: Saquan or Christian McCaffrey than he does. Just Hey, I

799
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: got a really good running back, and in my mind,

800
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: there's a big difference as good as for example, Josh

801
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: Jacobs is he ain't Saquon, Like there's a difference between

802
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: the one percent of the one percent. And I think

803
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: we've lost some of that tone when we talk about

804
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: Ashton Genty because it's so easy to talk about replacement

805
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: value at the position.

806
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 4: Now do your spot on, your spot on he's special,

807
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 4: go back and look at it. You know, we're geeks

808
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 4: and we would always talk about Boise and because we'd

809
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 4: be on after a Friday night game, and you know

810
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 4: the thing, I remember you and I having a conversation

811
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 4: about how he after contact yards after contact.

812
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 3: It's incredible what he does.

813
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 4: That was not a great Boise offense, right, That was

814
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 4: not some great Boise team with Kellen Moore at the

815
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 4: quarterback from back in the day, right, with some great

816
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 4: offensive line. He was a one man record team. As

817
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 4: a back, he was ridiculous. He's a generational type of talent.

818
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: I also think watch the highlights for anyone that didn't

819
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: watch Poise, watch the highlights, and you'll see a ton

820
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: of people trying to tackle him and missing him. But

821
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: here's the thing, Like, there's a difference between mistackle like

822
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: I didn't realize he's that fast and I took the

823
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: wrong angle. I can't tackle like that happened plenty. There's

824
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 1: a difference between that and I have made just one

825
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: on one collision with this player, and now what And

826
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,240
Speaker 1: that's when when you see that, even against Oregon, for example,

827
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: which has a bunch of kids that are capable of

828
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: they're like, he runs through people and you think he

829
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: got him, but his lower body is so damn strong

830
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 1: and he keeps his balance so well that people fly

831
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: at him and they fly off of him. And that's

832
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: you know that, that's just that portion of it. But

833
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: then also out of the backfield, he's got way more

834
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,959
Speaker 1: explosiveness in better hands than anybody seems to be giving

835
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: him credit for it. And that's why, like I get

836
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: I get the I've said this before, running back is

837
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: like great ice cream topping. So if you want Saquon

838
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: to win you a Super Bowl, you gotta have great

839
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 1: ice cream, because like, nobody remembers this Sunday for its

840
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: toppings unless the ice creams are also great. So Saquon

841
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: is like the perfect ice cream topping on the perfect Sunday,

842
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: and that's how you win a Super Bowl. Okay, I

843
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: will acquiesce to that, but I also think that the

844
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 1: conversation of hey man, you know, running backs are replaceable. Okay,

845
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: I wear my fandomoonmous sleeve. You don't think that I

846
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: had a like. Look at the Raiders with Josh Jacobs

847
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: as their running back. They didn't win a lot of

848
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: football games, but they had the leagues leading rusher one year,

849
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: and they consistently had one of the better running attacks.

850
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: One year without Josh Jacobs, and the Raiders had the

851
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: worst rushing attack in the NFL last year. Part of

852
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: that's are offensive line stakes. Part of that's also you

853
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: lost the great eraser, Like great running backs can erase

854
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: deficiencies with your offensive line. So I understand that that

855
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: Derek Henry didn't win games with the Titans and that

856
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: Saquon didn't win games with the Giants and Josh Jacobs

857
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: didn't win games with the Raiders. I get that, but

858
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: to me, it's so wildly shortsighted to say, well, that's

859
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: proof that you can't win with the running backs. So

860
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: I'm just not going to draft what is clearly the

861
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 1: best player at that position. Like I, I don't think

862
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: Omar and Hampton as much as I like Hampton is

863
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 1: a runner, some of these other kids, there's a difference.

864
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 1: So like, why would I sit there and say, ah,

865
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: I'm just not going I get Tie goes to the

866
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: batter get. I understand that if you've got a really

867
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: close grade, you have to consider these things, but I

868
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: just I also think, don't get cute here. If you

869
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: need a running back, just go get damn Ashon Genty.

870
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what's funny, I went, but Jacksonville. I

871
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 4: would have put bet Jacksonville draft them.

872
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: Me either. I saw that mock somewhere the other day

873
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: and I thought, man, that's the first time I've seen that.

874
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: And I don't know why I didn't think of it.

875
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think, look, if anybody in the

876
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: top ten takes ash and Genty, I think it's a

877
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: simple home run. And I just won't listen to like

878
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: the same thing I said last year. My god, I

879
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: was sitting doing the Yahoo livestream last year and Brock

880
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 1: Powers got picked, and I saw Raiders fans just losing

881
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:50,280
Speaker 1: their minds. And you know, at the time, my buddy

882
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: field Yates sent me a text and said, never apologize

883
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: for drafting the best player available. And I just it's

884
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: just stuck in my head to this day that like

885
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: they're Raiders fans that sat there and said, what are

886
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,439
Speaker 1: we doing? We don't need a tight end and it's like, yeah,

887
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: you always needed rock Powers. Like I just think that

888
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: if you're picking in the top ten, it's not just

889
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: about getting a guy, it's about the chance to get

890
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: a guy that can be generational, that could be different.

891
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: They can they can absolutely turn like just greatness, greatness

892
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: out every single Sunday, and now it's up to use

893
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: an organization to build the rest of it to make

894
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: that team great. But my god, like the failing of

895
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: the Giants that was proven when Saquon went to the

896
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: Eagles is all the people that said, well they never

897
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: got the Giants, never would have done this with Saquon. Well,

898
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 1: then shame on the Giants, like just draft the best

899
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: players and then build around them.

900
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 4: Well, they also struggled. I mean how many times we

901
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 4: talked about putting an offensive line building that with the Giants, right, Like, listen,

902
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 4: I'm out the biggest Daniel Jones fan either, right, I

903
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 4: don't think he's any good, but he never had a

904
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 4: great line in front of him, and so that offense

905
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 4: never really had a chance. You have a generational back,

906
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 4: but you didn't have a line, and that was the difference.

907
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 4: I mean, again, the Eagles won, not sexy. The Eagles

908
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 4: won because they had the best offensive line in football, right,

909
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 4: and they had players and playmakers around that Barkley, AJ Brown,

910
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 4: Devonte Hurtz, right, Like, you had players around, but they

911
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 4: had a front. Why did they win the Super Bowl?

912
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 4: They have a defensive front that dominated the Chiefs, right

913
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 4: that that basically smothered my homes.

914
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 3: So but to your point about Gent, I'm on board.

915
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 4: Doesn't it make sense for the Cowboys to move up

916
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 4: like that, like that's their last piece?

917
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: If you add a.

918
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 4: Gent to that mix, don't you think that that's a teammate?

919
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 4: You go, all right, Well, you know, if I have

920
00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 4: a court, if I'm going to go into it with

921
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:04,919
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott and Ceedee Lamb and Michael Parsons, I'm trying

922
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 4: to win now.

923
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this, and I think we

924
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: could look across the board, but if you go to

925
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: picks five, that's the Jags. For anyone that isn't sitting

926
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: here looking at the NFL draft order that I spend

927
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: too much time thinking about. If you want to talk

928
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,760
Speaker 1: about five at Jacksonville, if you want to talk about

929
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: six for the Raiders, seven for the Jets, all of

930
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: those teams, why would you not move down to twelve

931
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: like Dallas? Whatever Dallas is willing to pay to get up, like,

932
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: why would you not move down to twelve? If the

933
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: offer is outstanding? The only question is why would you

934
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: not take out? Like?

935
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 2: If it's that simple, just take Ashton? You know what

936
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 2: I mean?

937
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 3: Like that?

938
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: That's where it gets really hard, because I'm with you.

939
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: If I'm Dallas, I'm aggressively trying to move up. I'm

940
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: gonna go get Ashton genty and I'm gonna stop all

941
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: the conversations, and I believe I'm gonna have to get

942
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: up pretty high to get him. So I'm calling New England,

943
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,040
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and the Raiders. Those are the three that I

944
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: call it. And if I'm each.

945
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 2: Of those three teams, man now, I have this great decision.

946
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: What do you do. Do you take somebody that is

947
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: it looks so transcendent that teams are actually willing to

948
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: trade up to get him because you need him, or

949
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: do you just let it go and let God and

950
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 1: then just try and trade down and take you know

951
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: what I mean. That's where it gets really interesting, because

952
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if either Raiders you have a ton.

953
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's about assets, right, isn't it about

954
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 4: where you're at and what stage your building and if

955
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 4: you can get assets.

956
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,919
Speaker 3: I mean I would go the because here's the thing.

957
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:40,720
Speaker 4: If you're the Raiders, if you're Jacksonville, you're not ready

958
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 4: to win right now. And as much as I love Gent,

959
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 4: you know, to take the assets, you know, I think

960
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 4: it would make sense.

961
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 3: Now.

962
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 4: If you're Dallas, you know they have been if you've

963
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 4: noticed over the last why five years, seven years, they

964
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 4: have I have been more disciplined with the draft. I

965
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 4: actually think they've done a good job with the draft.

966
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 4: They have been more disciplined with trades, taking the best

967
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 4: player available. And I get that they are probably snake

968
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 4: bit after Elliott and going to back that high.

969
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 3: But I just think Genti's different.

970
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: Is there any so we both agree that New England

971
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 1: needs an offensive line, and the smart thing for them

972
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: to do is just sit there and take whichever lineman

973
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: they believe is the best. Is there any part of

974
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: New England that gets tempted to just take a running

975
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: back that can help Drake May from day one? Is

976
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 1: there any part of Ashton genty at four that becomes

977
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 1: tempting for them?

978
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 7: No?

979
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 3: I mean, I you know, first of all, if I'm

980
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 3: that might take Graham.

981
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. So I made the argument the other day

982
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: to somebody that because of Mike Vrabel, you know, and

983
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: his defensive background, and he does love defensive tackles that

984
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: can get after it. I made the argument the other

985
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: day that that makes a lot like defensive line actually

986
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. I'm with you on that.

987
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: I could see I could see Graham going if they

988
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: don't love you know, Will Campbell and the other or

989
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: even if they do, you know, I offensive line, defensive

990
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 1: line never a bad thing, but you know, no temptation

991
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: in your mind to just go get Drake May a

992
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,280
Speaker 1: better weapon to help him in the backfield.

993
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I certainly you know it calls me

994
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 4: pause a reason for pause for sure, But I'm not

995
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 4: passing up you know, Graham, I like to me, I

996
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 4: think you said it earlier. I'm I agree with you.

997
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 4: I think he's a great player. I think he's an anchor.

998
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 4: If I can get anchors on my fronts, then I

999
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 4: got to go that first, especially if I'm a building team.

1000
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't disagree with that. So let's take that

1001
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: same logic to Cleveland then, because Cleveland's picking second overall,

1002
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,439
Speaker 1: most people have Travis Hunter going. There is there any

1003
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,399
Speaker 1: temptation to take Abduall Carter for Cleveland because that gives

1004
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: them more strength on strength, right, Like, just.

1005
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would love Carter there, I would. I would.

1006
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 4: You know what's funny, everybody just really bald He was

1007
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 4: at the workout and he's just like, dude, the kid

1008
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 4: is just so so elite of an athlete, you know,

1009
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 4: such a such a transcendent type of player. So he's

1010
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 4: going to play d back and I'll slide in and

1011
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 4: receiver sometimes, but he's going to be a full time

1012
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 4: defensive back. That's what Baldy thinks and a couple other people.

1013
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:44,359
Speaker 4: I love Carter, So I've seen Carter live, Like I

1014
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 4: love Carter Carter and Miles Garrett to me, Wow, like

1015
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 4: you know, so, yeah, I would think about it, but

1016
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 4: I hear they're just going to go Travis Huner.

1017
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean Cleveland keeps coming out and saying

1018
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,399
Speaker 1: that they think he's a wide receiver, and that's well,

1019
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: I just will I will stress to everybody yet again

1020
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: that the one thing we know is on most draft

1021
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: boards he is currently listed as the number one corner

1022
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: and the number one wide receiver. Like he he I

1023
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: don't at this point. I don't think you can go

1024
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: wrong as long as he's made it clear he wants

1025
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: to play both ways, and the question is canny. Well,

1026
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 1: we need to break down a little bit of this

1027
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter conversation. Figure out can he actually play both ways?

1028
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: Where's it gonna go for him, and what's it mean. Plus,

1029
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: speaking of Travis Hunter, we have some numbers being retired.

1030
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: I gotta get Anthony's thoughts on that. We'll do that

1031

1056
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:58,240
Speaker 1: you're too kind. You're too kind. Speaking of too kind,

1057
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 1: maybe maybe with Fox Sports Radio should do is retire

1058
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: my number. I gotta get your thoughts on this, Anthony Gargatto,

1059
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 1: as we now know that Travis Hunter and Shador Sanders

1060
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 1: are having their numbers retired at University of Colorado, and look,

1061
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: did Travis Hunter having his number retired after winning a

1062
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: Heisman not shocking to me? I think Colorado has been

1063
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: slow in the past as a program to retire numbers,

1064
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: and that's something that they should do a better job of.

1065
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: I just think Dion's handling of the questions about Shaduur

1066
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: having his number retired, where he simply said, if it

1067
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: wasn't for his last name, we wouldn't even be having

1068
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: this conversation, and he played it like that was some

1069
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 1: sort of a victim. I think I think Dion's flipped it,

1070
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 1: Like my question is if Shador didn't have the last

1071
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: name Sanders, Like yeah, like victim mentality, Like I don't

1072
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: know if Shador's last name was fits. Do we really

1073
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 1: think that we're retiring that? Like where was the National

1074
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 1: Championship or the huge moment. Did you come in and say,

1075
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: oh my god, like, yeah, turn the program around, which

1076
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 1: is spectacular work by the Sanders family. But I don't

1077
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't understand how Dion can can look at this

1078
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 1: and find outrage in questions being asked about retiring a

1079
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 1: quarterbacks number that hasn't won a national championship form when

1080
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: they have other quarterbacks that have had better seasonal championship.

1081
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 4: We think about, he didn't do anything right, like God

1082
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 4: blessed the game.

1083
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 3: He played well, but you know, what did he accomplish?

1084
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 2: I mean, to retire the number.

1085
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 3: That he accomplished.

1086
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: The program is seen differently today than it was two

1087
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: years ago.

1088
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 4: Okay, right, but what about you know, give me numbers, wise,

1089
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 4: give me accolades, give me awards postseason.

1090
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, nothing, right, I mean, it's.

1091
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:56,919
Speaker 4: Stupid, It's ridiculous out in the world. Listen, Travis Hunter

1092
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 4: is a hell of a player, all right, whatever. I'm

1093
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 4: not a big believer in in that, but my god, Shadoor,

1094
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 4: please please, but that's what I will play a victim card.

1095
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 4: That's what he does. And that's like you called coach

1096
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 4: the victim card.

1097
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: Like if you talk about two of the more polarizing

1098
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: people in some ways in the way they're covered in sports.

1099
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and should in Deon Sanders, they share their

1100
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 1: ability to constantly make themselves victim and everything. Yes, and like,

1101
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: I mean going back to Aaron Rodgers talking about well

1102
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: the Jets, you know, I flew all the way across

1103
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: country on my dime and they you know, they fired me.

1104
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: He could have done that on a phone call. Okay,

1105
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: well if they if they called him, then Aaron Rodgers

1106
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,959
Speaker 1: would have simply said, oh my god, Like they didn't

1107
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: even bothered to look at me face to face and like,

1108
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: and then he says that a minute into the conversation.

1109
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: You know, they they informed they were going into a

1110
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,439
Speaker 1: different direction. Well, that's kind of the way it usually goes.

1111
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: What are you getting cut? Like the number of guys

1112
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: I've talked to that played in the NFL, they're like, yeah,

1113
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: that's the process.

1114
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 4: Like it.

1115
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: There isn't a long, glorious conversation. The less they say

1116
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: they're the better more often than not. So like Aaron

1117
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: Rodgers simply got the normal treatment for what that looks like.

1118
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: And I and then turns it into this long victim

1119
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: rant about the way he's perceived without ever acknowledging that

1120
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: he's created that. And now you've got Shaduur days before

1121
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: the draft, where there is for some teams there there

1122
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: are questions about whether or not the juice is worth

1123
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: the squeeze, like if a player is if look, if

1124
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 1: Shaduur were as unquestioned a prospect as Peyton Manning was,

1125
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: then people would put up with almost anything. But he isn't.

1126
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: And so because he isn't, now part of this becomes

1127
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: part of the conversation, like it's just and the conversation

1128
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 1: doesn't get any easier. If Dion sits there and says, well,

1129
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: you're only talking about it because of his last name.

1130
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: I guess the answer is with a different last name,

1131
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 1: would he even have his number retired? I don't. I

1132
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: don't believe if she do his last name were Gargano,

1133
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: they'd be retiring his number right now.

1134
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 4: No, of course not. I mean, it's ridiculous. But what

1135
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 4: do Rogers and d Are and Avid Khan? They're wildly popular.

1136
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: Right yeah?

1137
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 4: Do you know how to play like shitever you want

1138
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 4: about him? He's a master at promotion. Nobody is a

1139
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 4: better promoter than Pride.

1140
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 1: We handle those two gentlemen the same way as a

1141
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: society that many people handle their favorite teams. And this

1142
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 1: is this is inevitability. Like I've told you this before,

1143
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 1: but in the summer every year I get destroyed by

1144
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: Raiders fans that will sit there and say, oh my god, like,

1145
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: you're not high enough on this team. Why do you

1146
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: think the Chargers gonna win more games? You suck, you

1147
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 1: don't know anything, blah blah blah blah blah. And the

1148
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 1: whole time, I'm usually saying, yeah, they're six win team

1149
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: if everything breaks right, which was my prediction last year

1150
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: they got to four right. So when the season isn't

1151
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 1: going particularly well and I'm not sky is falling because

1152
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was gonna go all that well.

1153
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 1: So what are we seeing that we didn't expect? Then

1154
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 1: Raiders fans turn around and they just absolutely rip my

1155
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: head off for not being tough enough on the team.

1156
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. Like I think the hard

1157
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: part about it is when you let your fanglasses in

1158
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: general change the way you perceive everything and you start

1159
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: giving universal benefit of the doubt you It's like you

1160
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: just want everybody to be on your side, and Aaron

1161
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: Rodgers fans in general want everybody to be on their

1162
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: side regarding Aaron Rodgers, he can do no wrong. Deon

1163
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 1: Sanders fans want everybody to be on their side no

1164
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 1: matter what. Dion could do no wrong. The amount of

1165
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: people that have decided that the questions about Shador Sanders

1166
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: as a player must have absolutely nothing to do with

1167
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: Shadoor Sanders as a player, to which I step back

1168
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 1: and say, why is it not okay? Like I was,

1169
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: I had my questions about corps in every draft class.

1170
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 1: Why am I not allowed to have questions about Shador

1171
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 1: Sanders in this draft class? But the megafans of Shador

1172
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 1: want to turn it into something that has nothing to

1173
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: do with just looking at a fit football player. Dion

1174
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: fans want to make it and pro Coach Prime fans

1175
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: want to make it about nothing to do with Coach

1176
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: Prime as a coach, and Aaron Rodgers fans want to

1177
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: make it nothing to do with Aaron Rodgers, the pain

1178
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: and the ass the quarterback. Like I can't say this

1179
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 1: loud enough, y'all, Like I don't care about what Aaron

1180
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 1: Rodgers thinks about COVID, I don't I didn't, then I don't.

1181
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 1: Now I don't give a damn, Like I don't care

1182
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: what most of you think about COVID. I just I don't.

1183
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't have the equity of my heart to give

1184
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 1: a damn anymore. I haven't cared for a long time.

1185
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I ever cared what most of you

1186
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: thought about COVID, Like I just I don't. So it's

1187
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: funny to me that when it becomes about all those

1188
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: other things, then that's the deflection point. So we can't

1189
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: have a genuine conversation with Dion about why they're retiring

1190
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 1: Shador's number because he immediately makes it a personal insult,

1191
01:01:58,000 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: and so do all of his fans, And it's just

1192
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: it's the maddening part of trying to talk about it.

1193
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know what's crazy is this has become

1194
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 4: the Shadure draft when it's the cam War draft, right.

1195
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 4: It's amazing for the number one overall pick, he nobody

1196
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 4: talks about him.

1197
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 3: Nobody talks about cam.

1198
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 1: Ward d You're and I have. I've attributed a lot

1199
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: of that to the fact that the Titans have the

1200
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: first pick and they're a meaningless brand in the NFL. Sorry,

1201
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: Titans fans love you that, but you're right. I mean,

1202
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: the fact is, if Shadur was going number one to

1203
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 1: the Titans, wouldn't be we wouldn't be glossing over it.

1204
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 1: We'd be talking about it every day. Every day, we'd

1205
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: be talking about it.

1206
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 4: And the truth of the matter is cam Ward is

1207
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,959
Speaker 4: a thousand times better a quarterback than.

1208
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 1: God. And you know, don't bog me down with details

1209
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 1: like that. It's that you're right. Everything you're saying is right.

1210
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 1: And the fortunate thing is, I don't know what anybody's

1211
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 1: supposed to do when you can no longer just have

1212
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: a coverage conversation that is simply based on your opinions

1213
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 1: in sports, like the wildest part about the way the

1214
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 1: world works right now. And you know, I obviously I

1215
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 1: worked at ESPN for years, and the number of people

1216
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: that sit there and talk about how woke ESPN is

1217
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 1: or whatever, like people have these big, huge political conversations,

1218
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of people that work in

1219
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: sports that don't give it damn about any of it.

1220
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, once the conversation has been steered to that,

1221
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what you can do to turn the

1222
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: conversation away. From that, like, no matter what anyone thinks of,

1223
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: you know, Coach Prime and the way he does things,

1224
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: you should be allowed to question whether or not should

1225
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 1: do is going to be a great pro for reasons

1226
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: on film, like why can't we just simply sit down

1227
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: and say, hey, Shadoor Sanders the quarter back, here are

1228
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 1: the reasons that I don't think that he's ready to

1229
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: play right now, and here are the reasons that I

1230
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: don't like. Why can it not be an okay analysis

1231
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 1: to say, hey, he's not as good as the quarterbacks

1232
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 1: of last year's draft class, which I do think is

1233
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: part of the context of where this class stands. Why

1234
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 1: can't we just say, hey, Shadoor isn't as good as

1235
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 1: cam and have that be okay with that being an opinion,

1236
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: without that suddenly being no, I'm just trying to keep

1237
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just trying to find a reason to

1238
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: doubt Coach Prime, or even more maddening, the amount of

1239
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 1: people that if you come back and say anything that

1240
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 1: you don't like about Shadour, that all of a sudden

1241
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: you must be a racist. And it's like, well, why,

1242
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: like I you know, did I miss something about cam Ward?

1243
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 2: Like so I don't understand.

1244
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 1: I don't understand why we can't have just real balanced

1245
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 1: conversations anymore about certain people without it having to be

1246
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 1: about their belief system.

1247
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 4: I don't think it's a racial issue with Shador. I

1248
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 4: think it's a Sander's issue. I mean, that's it. I mean,

1249
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 4: here's the thing. Prime is a coach, Prime is is

1250
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 4: it a brilliant again, He's a brilliant marketer, brilliant And

1251
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 4: it's all part of the narrative.

1252
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 3: This whole thing is all. Everything is calculated.

1253
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 4: It's to get a rise, it's it's to push back

1254
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 4: and get a rise out of everybody.

1255
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 3: Like you know, he.

1256
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 4: Wants you to feel he's won, because if you're if

1257
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 4: you're feeling guilty about not criticizing Shador but capping what

1258
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 4: Shadoor is as a quarterback now, you know, with the ability,

1259
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 4: which I think every analyst says it. You know, listen,

1260
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 4: you know, let's see if he goes to the right

1261
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 4: spot and he sits for a year or two, you know,

1262
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 4: maybe he becomes something and everybody's put that caveat out there,

1263
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 4: but to him, Matvy, you feel guilty about saying that

1264
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 4: is exactly what pride bloods.

1265
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: You know. The funny thing is, in the entertainment business,

1266
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 1: there's a term for you know, stage dads or mamagers

1267
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 1: as so many people call them, and it's not it's

1268
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 1: a really known thing, especially when you're like in the

1269
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 1: Broadway world or in the you know, music world, when

1270
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 1: you've got little kids and their parent is a pain

1271
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: in the ass to deal with. It happens a lot,

1272
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 1: and there are kids all the time that are not

1273
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 1: cast in prominent roles in movies and shows and not

1274
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: given certain opportunities because frankly, their parents are just pain

1275
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 1: in the ass and the casting director or the movie

1276
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 1: company or the production company just doesn't want to deal

1277
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 1: with them. This has been common for forty years and

1278
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: my whole life, like I grew up around these terms.

1279
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 1: So I understand sort of. I understand this portion of

1280
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: the business, I think better than a lot of people.

1281
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 1: And it makes me laugh because people are so offended

1282
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: by the concept, the thought process that there might be

1283
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 1: an NFL team there that just doesn't want to deal

1284
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 1: with Don.

1285
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 2: And I look at all that and say, that's well

1286
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 2: with it.

1287
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: Like, look, if you look around and if you need

1288
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 1: a quarterback, but you just don't want to deal with

1289
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 1: having to answer questions about Aaron Rodgers every day, that's

1290
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: your prerogative. And if you would rather run your business

1291
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: without Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback, so you don't have

1292
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 1: to deal with that, okay, Like that's how you want

1293
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:22,919
Speaker 1: to do business. If you're looking around as a team

1294
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: and saying, man, the last thing I want. Like we

1295
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: talked about last season that Roma Dounza's dad, there are

1296
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 1: people around the Bears organization that weren't happy that he

1297
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: was going to social media to show all of the

1298
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: clips of times that he thought his kid was open

1299
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: and wasn't getting the ball. That wasn't a constructive way

1300
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 1: for things to go within the organization. The team didn't

1301
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 1: like it. Now, imagine somebody that has a press conference

1302
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 1: every week that's going to be asked, well, Shadu or

1303
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 1: was benched this week. I didn't feel about that. Like

1304
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: there might be some coaching regimes that just don't want

1305
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 1: to deal with that. They don't want to have to

1306
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 1: answer questions at their press conference about what Dion said

1307
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: about their like their team. Like, I think that's that's

1308
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 1: fair and reasonable, and at some point, if you're the

1309
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 1: Sanders family. You got to look around and say, hey,

1310
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:09,920
Speaker 1: whatever this is was created not by the last name Dion,

1311
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: and it's created by the fact that like Dion and

1312
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 1: the Sanders family has never shied away from the last

1313
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: name Sanders in the way that they handle all of it,

1314
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 1: Like I'm sorry. But the difference is people don't say

1315
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 1: this about Arch because they know that Eli and Peyton

1316
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 1: aren't going to be at a press conference every week

1317
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 1: talking about what they think isn't being done right for Arts,

1318
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 1: Like we haven't heard from any other Manning through this

1319
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 1: entire Texas process of their son barely getting on the

1320
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:36,680
Speaker 1: field or sometimes getting on the field, or you and

1321
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:39,440
Speaker 1: I questioned the usage of Arch last year at times.

1322
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:41,920
Speaker 3: In the freaking championship game.

1323
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: What were they doing? Like and we're sitting here saying,

1324
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 1: oh my god, But did I hear anybody with the

1325
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:49,960
Speaker 1: last name Manning come out and use their platform to

1326
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 1: talk about it?

1327
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:55,559
Speaker 4: No, like semi final game where you know Manny should

1328
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:57,560
Speaker 4: have been used to goal line, We've said it. I

1329
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 4: didn't hear Eli or Peyton saying about it.

1330
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's to me, that's the big difference, is, Like,

1331
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 1: it's not about your last name in that situation, it's

1332
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: about the profile you have in the way you handle it.

1333
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,760
Speaker 1: And if you're going to use your profile loudly, which

1334
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:16,600
Speaker 1: is your right, then you have to understand that the

1335
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 1: teams have the right to say, man, I don't know

1336
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: if I really want to do with that week in

1337
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:22,439
Speaker 1: and week out like that has to be okay, And

1338
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,679
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be a personal slight against somebody.

1339
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 1: It can just be, man, that you sain't worth to squeeze.

1340
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 3: Now.

1341
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 4: And you know what's interesting is we talk about the

1342
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 4: project quarterbacks. Let me answer you a question. Now, I'll

1343
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 4: completely can see that Shoudor is more polished than mil Row.

1344
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 4: All right as a pocket quarterback, but if you're looking

1345
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:55,480
Speaker 4: for upside, who's got more upside.

1346
01:09:56,520 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 3: A mill Row? Or should? Milrod needs a lot of work.

1347
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,919
Speaker 4: But I don't know, there was not a great athlete,

1348
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 4: like when it comes to being out of the pocket.

1349
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,719
Speaker 3: He's a decent pocket quarterback.

1350
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 4: And guess he's still you know, he never let a

1351
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:18,760
Speaker 4: chance to make a lot of NFL throws last year

1352
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 4: because the last two years because of her offense. But

1353
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 4: his arm is okay, it's not great. It was a

1354
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 4: good deep ball, but mil Rod's got ridiculous tools. You know,

1355
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:34,679
Speaker 4: you just got to teach him the position and kind

1356
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 4: of just really kind of deep tied with him.

1357
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: I think to your point, I think Mena Kimes was

1358
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 1: in the Week this week that said, Jalen Milroe's like

1359
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 1: a lottery ticket, you know, And I am convinced he's

1360
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 1: going to get drafted late first round because somebody wants

1361
01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 1: the opportunity to just slowly develop that passing game. Yeah,

1362
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:01,840
Speaker 1: if you can, if you can get him to be

1363
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 1: even a mediocre passer, like just a just a pretty

1364
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 1: good passer, then you're gonna end up with the top

1365
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:13,679
Speaker 1: fifteen quarterback in the NFL, you know, accidentally, you know, yeah,

1366
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. He's just his mechanics go to hell,

1367
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: and he's inaccurate at times Like those are real things

1368
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 1: that you know, you've got to believe. If you're I'm

1369
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 1: just inserting this out of my own fandom, if you're

1370
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly and Pete Carroll, you're telling me you're not

1371
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: looking at that, saying, hey, with time, we could develop

1372
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: something here. And I don't know, like, but to me,

1373
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 1: if you've got Kevin Stefanski or I you've got Brian Dabole,

1374
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:41,519
Speaker 1: or you've got you know, Pete Carroll and Chip Kelly

1375
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:44,479
Speaker 1: and you've got we're talking about brands that have been

1376
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:48,439
Speaker 1: familiar with developing quarterbacks. Man, if you're Kellen Moore and

1377
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 1: your whole calling card has been I know how to

1378
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 1: work with the quarterback, I know how to run an

1379
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 1: offense around a quarterback. All of those gentlemen I just mentioned, Like,

1380
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 1: I feel a lot better about those guys taking somebody

1381
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,759
Speaker 1: like Jayaln Miller and saying, hey, we're going to develop

1382
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 1: them than I do about necessarily Aaron Glenn. You know,

1383
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 1: they think we've got we've got some quarterback minds that

1384
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: get credit. You know, if Jalen Milroe were drafted by

1385
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 1: somebody like Stefanski, I believe that with a couple of

1386
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,640
Speaker 1: years to figure it out, he could turn out to

1387
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 1: be absolutely, like very good. He could be a very

1388
01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: good quarterback almost say great. I won't say great, but

1389
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 1: he could be a very good quarterback in this class.

1390
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:27,599
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I mean, and that's the point, right, Like

1391
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 4: you're thinking, all right, if I'm a team and I'm

1392
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:35,640
Speaker 4: going to draft a quarterback, I'm always going to go upside.

1393
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 1: I mean, that's where too. And this is why I'm

1394
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 1: not just encouraging you, because I that's what my job is.

1395
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 1: I think what gets interesting about this draft, and the

1396
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:47,840
Speaker 1: reason that especially like the second and third rounds are

1397
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:49,680
Speaker 1: also going to be interesting, is there's gonna be run

1398
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: on these quarterbacks that I do believe in the next

1399
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 1: three years we're gonna see him hit the field. I

1400
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a lot of taking us to

1401
01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 1: Like Derek Carr went in the second round for reason,

1402
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:00,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts went in the second round for a reason.

1403
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:03,680
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be plenty of opportunities for that.

01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: Well, look, there's one thing happening this weekend that barely

1436
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 1: counts in sports, but it is now cancel my plans,

1437
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:40,679
Speaker 1: cancel everything. Like I'm gonna figure out I'm booking hotel

1438

Speaker 1: rooms in January.

1439
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 2: I can now tell you definitively, my beloved Raiders are.

1440
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 1: Going to the playoffs this year. How do I know this?

1441
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 1: Based on this weekend? Based on this weekend? I know

1442
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:51,519
Speaker 1: my beloved Raiders are going to the playoffs? Are you

1443
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: ready for? Why? Are you ready for this?

1444
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah? Why?

1445
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 1: Every post COVID WrestleMania has been held in an NFL stadium,

1446
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,640
Speaker 1: and so far, every host team has gone on to

1447
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 1: make the playoffs the upcoming year, said Allegiant. This weekend,

1448
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:09,120
Speaker 1: WrestleMania Raiders are going to the playoffs. Bam, I just look, look,

1449
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:12,759
Speaker 1: WWE is giving. It's giving me what I finally deserve.

1450
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 1: Playoffs happening this year all because of WrestleMania.

1451
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:18,759
Speaker 3: Listen, Wresmania got me a super Bowl.

1452
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 1: I mean, come on now, like I'll take you know,

1453
01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 1: I'll just take a.

1454
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:27,920
Speaker 4: Play on Kelsey and Lane Johnson. We're in it.

1455
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:30,719
Speaker 2: God see, I am actually bummed.

1456
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:35,720
Speaker 1: I really wanted to go this weekend and kudos to

1457
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 1: WWE for changing the weekend of WrestleMania used to be

1458
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 1: the same as the Final Four and made it really difficult.

1459
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 1: And then said allegiant this year. Really wanted to go,

1460
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 1: but it's just backed up so close to you know,

1461
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:49,920
Speaker 1: work I have to do for the NFL Draft. I

1462
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:52,720
Speaker 1: didn't feel good about going out to Vegas U and

1463
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:55,760
Speaker 1: raging around WrestleMania. Just I just want to see all

1464
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: the old guys, like the eighties wrestlers that do all

1465
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,600
Speaker 1: the greets and everything, like I want to live my

1466
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 1: childhood through an allegiance to the surrounding area. Would have

1467
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:08,120
Speaker 1: been a great opportunity to do it, but look, it

1468
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 1: means that it means my beloved Raiders are headed to

1469
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 1: the super Bowl or at least ended the playoffs. That

1470
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 1: I'll take that. That's obviously that streak will continue. Are

1471
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: you were you? Did you go to WrestleMania when it

1472
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 1: was in Philly?

1473
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 3: My kids did, my boys went.

1474
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 4: My uh wife's cousin's husband is a security for the

1475
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:36,599
Speaker 4: w W, A like a big security guy and so

1476
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:39,720
Speaker 4: he had them. He had a special thing. And then

1477
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 4: and then yeah, so the boys went.

1478
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:44,000
Speaker 3: I didn't go.

1479
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 4: I was going to go, my man, big Dom. I

1480
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 4: was gonna go with the Eagles guys because Kelsey.

1481
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:51,640
Speaker 3: And Lane were doing it.

1482
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 4: And then, you know, I don't know, I didn't. I

1483
01:16:55,520 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 4: regret because I mean it was it was awesome or

1484
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:01,439
Speaker 4: what nuts over it?

1485
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:05,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a spectacle. WWE everything they do

1486
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:09,599
Speaker 1: is a spectacle. I've never been to WrestleMania, but yeah,

1487
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 1: I certainly it is certainly a spectacle. And like I said,

1488
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 1: I think, you know, kind of like the coolest part

1489
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 1: sometimes of being around the Super Bowl or all of

1490
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 1: the things that happen in the city before the super Bowl.

1491
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:24,280
Speaker 1: I think the coolest part of WrestleMania is the same. So,

1492
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, one of these years, like you would have thought,

1493
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 1: Vegas Allegiance would have been the perfect opportunity to go.

1494
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 1: But like I said, I just the draft prep. This

1495
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 1: year is a tough, a weird year for the draft too, because,

1496
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 1: as we've talked about, there aren't as many oh my god,

1497
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:41,000
Speaker 1: home run hitters in this year's draft, which means the

1498
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:44,719
Speaker 1: big boards are very varied at this point. So usually

1499
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:47,600
Speaker 1: like if I'm you know, I'm covering the draft for

1500
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 1: the first three rounds for Yahoo. And usually when we

1501
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 1: do that, I can I can study one hundred people

1502
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 1: and have a pretty good idea. You know, you can

1503
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 1: look at every mock for two months and you get

1504
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:00,639
Speaker 1: that that list. This year, the big of the top

1505
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,720
Speaker 1: one hundred is so varied you end up with a

1506
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 1: couple hundred players instead. It's it's gonna be interesting. I

1507
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 1: think this is a real year for coverage.

1508
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the first round is gonna be wild. I mean,

1509
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 3: you know, you think you know.

1510
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 4: The only pick you can definitely know are one, two, three,

1511
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:26,439
Speaker 4: because four could be a variation five and that'll affect

1512
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 4: five and six.

1513
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 1: And I also think to that point when you reach

1514
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 1: a draft, where as we say all the time, it's

1515
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:36,800
Speaker 1: like what flavor of ice cream is your favorite? Well,

1516
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:40,720
Speaker 1: you know, keep that analogy going. If I'm in line

1517
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 1: at an ice cream place and I can see that

1518
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 1: Anthony's kids are ahead of me, and there, look they

1519
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 1: may prefer you know, chocolate chip cookie though they might

1520
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 1: all right, But what if I'm in a vanilla mood

1521
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 1: and I just want that that sweet, sweet vanilla bean

1522
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 1: that's up there and there's only one scoop left. Like,

1523
01:18:58,120 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna trade my way up to get in front

1524
01:18:59,920 --> 01:19:01,560
Speaker 1: of Anthony's kids because I don't want to take the

1525
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:03,559
Speaker 1: chance that they're going to get the vanilla. Now, they

1526
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 1: may not be into the vanilla at all, but I

1527
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: can't risk it because that's what I really want. We're

1528
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:09,640
Speaker 1: gonna get a ton of that. I think this year,

1529
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:12,560
Speaker 1: where you know, whereas there's not a ton of like

1530
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:15,680
Speaker 1: people might be not sitting here freaking out about a

1531
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: name that's dropping to thirteen, I think there's gonna be

1532
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:20,439
Speaker 1: plenty of teams that want to move to thirteen, fourteen,

1533
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:22,400
Speaker 1: fifteen to get the one guy that they're in love with.

1534
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that analogy. Now you're spot on, brother,

1535
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 4: spot on. I think it's gonna be a fun draft.

1536
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 4: You brought up the Raiders making the playoffs. I have

1537
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 4: to tell you, I believe that the Raiders are now

1538
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 4: a division's so nasty right because the Chargers are great,

1539
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 4: are going to be great Teas are great. Chargers are

1540
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 4: gonna be really good devers on the colm. I believe

1541
01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:56,360
Speaker 4: Wholharley and Brady, Like, I think Brady'll fix it. Brady

1542
01:19:57,080 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 4: Pete Carroll, Like, I think it's gonna work. How if

1543
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 4: it's this year, But I think it's gonna work.

1544
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are stages to this. We'll break that down

1545
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:09,720
Speaker 1: plus NBA playoffs. Next, Fox Sports Radio. You're listening to

1552
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 2: So what is this the spring equinox?

1553
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: Is that what we got here? Because we have NBA playoffs,

1554
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:39,080
Speaker 1: NHL playoffs, we have obviously the NFL Draft happening, and

1555
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:41,880
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball is underway. Like I don't think a

1556
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:44,599
Speaker 1: lot of us, Like, in fairness, before baseball guy gets

1557
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 1: at me, we said in October, I'm not paying attention

1558
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:49,600
Speaker 1: to college basketball yet. Like, it doesn't mean that I

1559
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 1: don't love it, just means, you know, it takes a

1560
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: minute to warm up. So baseball guy, calm down. We'll

1561
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:57,360
Speaker 1: get to you. But like you know, I feel like

1562
01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 1: we we just wait so long, Anthony, to get to

1563
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:04,679
Speaker 1: meaningful games in two sports that we love in basketball

1564
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:07,680
Speaker 1: and hockey, right Like, we wait so long to get there.

1565
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 1: And this year particularly, I think the reward is there

1566
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 1: with these playoff matchups that we've got in the NBA.

1567
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:17,400
Speaker 1: Like I'll give everybody. I think we all understand that

1568
01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:19,120
Speaker 1: it's a two horse race in the East, right, Like

1569
01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: the East is kind of boring. We all presume it's

1570
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 1: going to be the Caves and the Celtics, and you know,

1571
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:27,519
Speaker 1: they'll just make they'll make haste to get to that

1572
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 1: point and you know, just eliminate everybody else but the West. Man, Like,

1573
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 1: they're just a lot of these series at least have

1574
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:38,680
Speaker 1: compelling storylines, even in the first round, and sometimes you

1575
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:40,519
Speaker 1: just got to suffer through the first round to get

1576
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 1: to the good good. I feel like right out of

1577
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 1: the gates we have it in the NBA playoffs.

1578
01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:48,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, I gotta tell you, I'm I'm in and I'm

1579
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 4: ready because I was a bitch and moaned during the

1580
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 4: regular season about the league. Oh my god, gload management.

1581
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 4: I was in an NBA city wasteland. I mean, my

1582
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 4: team was tanking in January, right like you know, it

1583
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:12,120
Speaker 4: was just an ugly season. And you know, you and

1584
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 4: I already in East, and the East had was terrible, right,

1585
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,599
Speaker 4: So I get it. If you're a Western Conference NBA fan,

1586
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 4: you're going, what are you talking about? But the Eastern

1587
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:27,680
Speaker 4: Conference was hard. I'm ready to drop all that, right

1588
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 4: and just dive in and not look at you know,

1589
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 4: what's wrong with the league and two twenty threes. Now

1590
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 4: I'm ready to just go enjoy because and I think

1591
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:41,640
Speaker 4: the West is going to be awesome. Like I just

1592
01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 4: take that Western Conference playoff. It's gonna be great.

1593
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:46,640
Speaker 1: By the way, I never really thought of it. But

1594
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:48,840
Speaker 1: you're right, Like when you're living on the East Coast

1595
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:51,599
Speaker 1: and it's tougher to keep up with just being real,

1596
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:54,360
Speaker 1: it's tougher to keep up with Lakers games that tippets,

1597
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:57,679
Speaker 1: you know, ten thirty Eastern time, not paying as much attention.

1598
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, it becomes a little bit tougher time to

1599
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:04,880
Speaker 1: invest the same way in the sport. But you're one

1600
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:07,320
Speaker 1: thousand percent right. If you're on the West, it's been wild.

1601
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 1: Like I look at this series between the Rockets and

1602
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 1: the Warriors, and it's funny because you know, there have

1603
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 1: been little flashes from the Warriors, especially in the back

1604
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 1: half of the season that had everybody feel in this

1605
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: hope that the Warriors could go on this iconic run.

1606
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:24,760
Speaker 1: In the meantime, the Rockets have done nothing but be

1607
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:28,760
Speaker 1: consistently very good, you know, and consistently very good and

1608
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 1: slipt on it. Between the attention we pay to the

1609
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:33,879
Speaker 1: Thunder and then obviously to the Lakers and the Clippers

1610
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 1: for right reasons, and then the fact that the Nuggets

1611
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 1: have the resume they have, even though it's a bit

1612
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:41,160
Speaker 1: of a disaster, I feel like the Rockets have just

1613
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 1: sort of fallen by the wayside. There an afterthought, and

1614
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 1: the world is sort of bracing for this opportunity to

1615
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: see Lakers Warriors in the second round, which would be awesome.

1616
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:52,640
Speaker 1: But I'm not willing to completely roll over on the

1617
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:56,719
Speaker 1: Timberwolves or the Warriors in their respective series, or the Rockets.

1618
01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 4: I should say, yeah, yeah, no, no, I feel you

1619
01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:03,599
Speaker 4: on that. I mean, you know, Houston is so interesting

1620
01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 4: because of Jalen Green, and you know, they seingoon like

1621
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:13,640
Speaker 4: they got players. I don't know if they're ready to

1622
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:17,800
Speaker 4: win and win a series, but they got players. Man,

1623
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:20,080
Speaker 4: that's a good squad.

1624
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 1: I feel you.

1625
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:24,120
Speaker 3: You know, I could be guilty of it. Two.

1626
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:26,720
Speaker 4: You know, I look at Golden State and I'm just like,

1627
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 4: all right, well because the staff and Jimmy like how

1628
01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 4: they're built for now, aren't they? Like that's I keep

1629
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 4: going back to it. And you know, as much as

1630
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 4: I like the young Rockets, I mean, Golden State has

1631
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:40,479
Speaker 4: to win.

1632
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:44,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, You're right, they're built for it. And this is

1633
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:47,439
Speaker 1: where too, you got to pay attention a little bit

1634
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:51,240
Speaker 1: to the actual win loss record, for example, instead of

1635
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:53,400
Speaker 1: just the seating, because this is a two versus seven,

1636
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:56,559
Speaker 1: but don't get a twisted four games separated at two

1637
01:24:56,640 --> 01:25:00,040
Speaker 1: versus a seven, you know, so it's not like some

1638
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:03,639
Speaker 1: years were two versus seven feels like this catastrophic moat

1639
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:06,840
Speaker 1: that is between these two seeds, And you're right, like,

1640
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 1: it's just hard. As well as Stephan and Jimmy have

1641
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:16,320
Speaker 1: played together of late, it's hard not to believe in

1642
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:18,640
Speaker 1: their ability to win a series like this. And that

1643
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:22,280
Speaker 1: takes nothing away from the Rockets. It's just, man, the

1644
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 1: Warriors have been here over and over and over and over,

1645
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,679
Speaker 1: and you know, playoff Jimmy is a real thing over

1646
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:31,559
Speaker 1: and over and over. So like, just like I think

1647
01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 1: to be consistent. I said earlier, I'm a little nervous

1648
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:37,479
Speaker 1: about relying on you know, James Harden in any big situation.

1649
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm a little hesitant to not rely on the Warriors

1650
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 1: in a big situation because they just have too many

1651
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 1: people that have been there, proven that they rise to

1652
01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 1: the moment.

1653
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:49,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I mean nothing.

1654
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 4: I mean look at them right, Like you know, when

1655
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:55,160
Speaker 4: you got Stephan, you got Jimmy, and you got Draymond.

1656
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:57,559
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, yeah.

1657
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: And I mean on top of all of that, you

1658
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 1: also have a coach that I think sometimes I think

1659
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:09,639
Speaker 1: we talk a lot about everything else with the Warriors,

1660
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 1: but there is some element of Man, it's a beautiful thing,

1661
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:17,920
Speaker 1: like when you see a team consistently come in with

1662
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 1: the star power that they have and the ability to

1663
01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 1: manage the most of those stars and make the most

1664
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:25,759
Speaker 1: of those moments. Like Steve Kurr has done a really

1665
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 1: amazing job of running a team with big personalities and

1666
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 1: big stardom and running that team as efficiently as possible

1667
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:35,719
Speaker 1: and getting every ounce out of them that he possibly

1668
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:38,000
Speaker 1: can and all the right times. Like you know, I

1669
01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:40,800
Speaker 1: know that Steve Kerr can be polarizing for some For

1670
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 1: everything that has nothing to do with basketball, and I

1671
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,639
Speaker 1: just again to be consistent on that throughout the course

1672
01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 1: of the morning. I don't care about any of that

1673
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 1: in a seven game series. I have a lot of

1674
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:53,439
Speaker 1: reasons to trust Steve Kerr too, So you know, that's

1675
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:55,680
Speaker 1: like the extra secret sauce to what I think makes

1676
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:59,320
Speaker 1: the Warriors tick and why, you know, particularly, I'm excited

1677
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:01,880
Speaker 1: like everybody would be. You know, the first round is

1678
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:03,479
Speaker 1: gonna be great, but if there's a chance I can

1679
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 1: get Lakers Warriors in the second round, I want that.

1680
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 1: Inject that in my veins.

1681
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:10,400
Speaker 4: And check that in my vein. All right, let's go

1682
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:15,240
Speaker 4: over the weekend's card. We'll look at each series, all right,

1683
01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:21,840
Speaker 4: So today we get started one o'clock eastern, ten Pacific, Milwaukee, Indiana.

1684
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 4: Now Dame is making progress with the blood class.

1685
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's huge.

1686
01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 3: It is huge. It's a huge, monster thing.

1687
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 4: So this will be interesting. Let me intereseen today. If

1688
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:42,800
Speaker 4: you know, Giannis could carry them against Indiana, this will

1689
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:46,439
Speaker 4: be fun. But if Dame comes back, watch out, Bucks.

1690
01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of pressure on Indiana to

1691
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 1: want to win this game. For that very reason. You

1692
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 1: gotta get one in before Dame comes back and give

1693
01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 1: yourself the best opportunity. Milwaukee is so confusing to me

1694
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 1: because if we were playing two K, I'd feel really

1695
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:05,960
Speaker 1: good about taking almost anybody on with Milwaukee, right like

1696
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 1: you feel really good about the talent there. But ever

1697
01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:11,880
Speaker 1: since coach Budd got fired, it feels like a revolving door,

1698
01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 1: and the revolving door never really settles on anything that

1699
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:18,840
Speaker 1: gives them the same level of intensity and the same

1700
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 1: level of can't miss. And you mentioned Giannis and you know,

1701
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 1: no doubt, one of the best players in the world.

1702
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:27,760
Speaker 1: But it's just amazing how it went from this conversation

1703
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:30,759
Speaker 1: a few years ago about how many championships can Milwaukee

1704
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 1: win to now, my god, what do they have to

1705
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:35,280
Speaker 1: do to get back to where they were? So you know,

1706
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:38,080
Speaker 1: we're asking Yiannis to do a herculean lyft in that

1707
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,519
Speaker 1: first game, but he really needs to because if they

1708
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:43,080
Speaker 1: get that, if they can manage to get an early

1709
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:45,639
Speaker 1: lead in the series and then get Dame back, oh

1710
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:46,599
Speaker 1: that's game changer.

1711
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:47,160
Speaker 3: Yep.

1712
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:50,720
Speaker 4: And then at three point thirty Easter through twelve thirty

1713
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:54,960
Speaker 4: Pacific also a d ESPN, Clippers and Nuggets. This is

1714
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 4: gonna be a great series. I can't wait for it.

1715
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:01,520
Speaker 4: I talked about it earlier. I actually like the Clippers

1716
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 4: in this series. I think the Clippers I think the

1717
01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:08,600
Speaker 4: wrong team's favored. Obviously, you know, we all know what

1718
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 4: happened the Nuggets and Mark Malone and everything. They don't

1719
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 4: feel right to me. And meanwhile, all I do I

1720
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:18,599
Speaker 4: think the Clippers are most underrated team in the league,

1721
01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:23,719
Speaker 4: with the most underrated great player in the league and Kawhi.

1722
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:27,760
Speaker 1: I also think part of the what and the why

1723
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:30,920
Speaker 1: and the how for Malone and Denver matters to me.

1724
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 1: You know, reports came out afterwards. A part of the

1725
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,640
Speaker 1: reason he was like, oh, is that players didn't like

1726
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 1: the preferential treatment that the stars were getting on that team.

1727
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:41,920
Speaker 1: If that's the case, that doesn't change, you know what

1728
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:44,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Like that didn't suddenly change a few games ago.

1729
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a little bit of a wake up call,

1730
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:49,479
Speaker 1: but that just speaks to a fracture somewhere. And man,

1731
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:52,519
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to trust the team that changes

1732
01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:55,760
Speaker 1: a head coach with what three games left, four games left.

1733
01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about such so late in the

1734
01:29:58,080 --> 01:30:01,040
Speaker 1: season to make that change. I'm with you. I think

1735
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:06,120
Speaker 1: it's it's it's dumb to bet against Jokic, but I

1736
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:08,800
Speaker 1: can't just make Jokic bigger than what they're taking on.

1737
01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:12,040
Speaker 1: I think I'm torn on the series. I'm not comfortable

1738
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:14,920
Speaker 1: putting my money on it, but I am leaning Clippers.

1739
01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:17,760
Speaker 1: As we talked this morning, you're sort of leading me

1740
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:19,880
Speaker 1: that direction because everything you just say makes sense and

1741
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm just not comfortable with Dever.

1742
01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:24,479
Speaker 4: Yeah now, and and and think about to me, the

1743
01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:29,120
Speaker 4: X factor is Zubas right, yep, Zuboches talk about the

1744
01:30:29,160 --> 01:30:31,120
Speaker 4: Clippers just underrated everywhere they are.

1745
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:33,559
Speaker 3: Kawhi is a great, great player.

1746
01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:41,400
Speaker 4: Listen, James Harden is playing amazing basketball like he's a

1747
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:45,720
Speaker 4: Hall of Favor. Now he comes up small and I

1748
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:48,040
Speaker 4: you know, we've talked about this before, and you know

1749
01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:51,280
Speaker 4: you always have those moments in the playoffs. I've witnessed

1750
01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:56,240
Speaker 4: it firsthand. But I don't think he I think this

1751
01:30:56,439 --> 01:31:00,559
Speaker 4: is a perfect team for him because he could still

1752
01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:01,880
Speaker 4: go off in a couple of games.

1753
01:31:03,479 --> 01:31:05,479
Speaker 3: Just play hardened point card.

1754
01:31:06,479 --> 01:31:12,280
Speaker 4: You got Kawhi, right, you got you know, Norman Powell,

1755
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:16,479
Speaker 4: who's perfect in that raw volume score, and then you

1756
01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:19,040
Speaker 4: got Joe Botch like in Jewel Box, like that's a

1757
01:31:19,120 --> 01:31:21,559
Speaker 4: bad matchup for Denver, this this Clippers team.

1758
01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:24,720
Speaker 3: So I look at I look at this thing, and

1759
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:27,040
Speaker 3: I love that to make a deep run.

1760
01:31:27,880 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, to your point, if Kawhi is healthy, Kawhi is Batman,

1761
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:35,040
Speaker 1: and now all Harden has to do is be Robin

1762
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:37,880
Speaker 1: and he can be a rock. You know, Like I

1763
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:40,519
Speaker 1: don't I don't want him coming in and crime fighting,

1764
01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:42,200
Speaker 1: but I don't mind if he's in the you know,

1765
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:44,639
Speaker 1: red white and blue neon next to the actual crime

1766
01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:45,439
Speaker 1: fighter saying.

1767
01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:47,599
Speaker 2: Let's go, guys, Like that's more than rule this point

1768
01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:48,280
Speaker 2: for him for sure.

1769
01:31:48,720 --> 01:31:51,559
Speaker 1: Lunch here and there, yeah here, and when you land him,

1770
01:31:51,560 --> 01:31:53,800
Speaker 1: everybody's like, holy cow, Robin land a punch like that,

1771
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:55,360
Speaker 1: it's amazing, you know.

1772
01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 3: But you're right.

1773
01:31:56,200 --> 01:31:58,680
Speaker 1: The pressure, the pressures off, the eyeballs are off, and

1774
01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:04,080
Speaker 1: part of of the like, to me, when great players

1775
01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:07,800
Speaker 1: fail in huge moments, that's a that's a question of

1776
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:10,080
Speaker 1: how you handle adrenaline and pressure and all these other

1777
01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:13,439
Speaker 1: things that come together. We all remember Kawhi getting the

1778
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:17,360
Speaker 1: shooters role, you know, incredible shots that that helped Toronto

1779
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:18,280
Speaker 1: win a championship.

1780
01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:22,920
Speaker 3: Right, Ah, don't tell me about that. I'm just the

1781
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:25,360
Speaker 3: triple quadruple doink.

1782
01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:27,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, shooters roll.

1783
01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:33,040
Speaker 3: Bing bing bing in. Oh god, I could just see

1784
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 3: it fading away. I don't know how that shot went in.

1785
01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:39,719
Speaker 1: Never should have gone it. That's the sort of shot

1786
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:41,960
Speaker 1: like when somebody heaves it up in the gym. You're

1787
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:44,639
Speaker 1: like no, and then it goes in and you're like, yay,

1788
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:46,920
Speaker 1: you know that. That's it? One hundred percent?

1789
01:32:48,800 --> 01:32:49,800
Speaker 3: What do you make of this? Serious?

1790
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:53,879
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to this series because I like Detroit.

1791
01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:59,320
Speaker 4: The Pistons are a team. They tried during the regular season.

1792
01:33:00,040 --> 01:33:03,479
Speaker 4: They were they never shorted you with effort. Now either,

1793
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:07,160
Speaker 4: they struggle back end of the season. But can they

1794
01:33:07,320 --> 01:33:11,160
Speaker 4: give the next a threat? Can they give the Knicks?

1795
01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:12,439
Speaker 4: Make the Knicks sweat?

1796
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:15,800
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna beat the Knicks. How do you

1797
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:18,400
Speaker 1: like that? I mean they won that, they won the

1798
01:33:18,479 --> 01:33:21,479
Speaker 1: season series. It's a lot different, you know. But I

1799
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:23,560
Speaker 1: went down the deep dive being the nerd that I

1800
01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:27,080
Speaker 1: am yesterday and was just reading too many articles and

1801
01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:30,000
Speaker 1: I talked myself into this throughout the course of it.

1802
01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:32,760
Speaker 1: But man, I walked into it at first saying okay,

1803
01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:35,880
Speaker 1: Nixon six and and by the time I finished, just

1804
01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:38,680
Speaker 1: going through everything and what am I missing? What am

1805
01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 1: I missing? These numbers that are pretty staggering on Kay

1806
01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:44,439
Speaker 1: Cunningham and the pick and roll against the next defense

1807
01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:48,600
Speaker 1: was was It's pretty remarkable. I think it's a I

1808
01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:51,240
Speaker 1: think it's a matchup nightmare. I just I think Kay

1809
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:54,800
Speaker 1: Cunningham goes big. I think this is this series works

1810
01:33:54,840 --> 01:33:57,400
Speaker 1: towards the Pistons, and Detroit gets the plucky win, and

1811
01:33:57,479 --> 01:33:59,000
Speaker 1: Knicks fans are ripping their hair out.

1812
01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:03,599
Speaker 3: Wow, waha, I'm.

1813
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:06,080
Speaker 1: Gonna I'm going Detroit and seven Detroit. I went from

1814
01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:08,640
Speaker 1: Nixon six to Detroit and seven. How do we like that?

1815
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:11,200
Speaker 1: I think this is a pick seven?

1816
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:15,519
Speaker 3: Wow, that's wild. You know what? The line the line

1817
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:17,840
Speaker 3: for the game that Nick is seven and a half.

1818
01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:21,360
Speaker 1: Plenty of you know what, plenty plenty of.

1819
01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:23,639
Speaker 3: Times you're gonna make a play the window.

1820
01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:27,560
Speaker 1: Look, I'm I'm gonna think about it. I don't know

1821
01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:30,720
Speaker 1: when you when you look at playoff, do you get

1822
01:34:30,840 --> 01:34:32,880
Speaker 1: nervous bet in the first game of a seven game

1823
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 1: series playing playoff basketball? Like I get nervous. First games

1824
01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:38,360
Speaker 1: of series are so much like the beginning of a

1825
01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 1: prize fight, where it's just like a punch here, a

1826
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:42,560
Speaker 1: punch there, and I don't know what to make of it,

1827
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:44,320
Speaker 1: so you know, I get a little nervous on it.

1828
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 4: Well, you're gonna you're gonna later on our man, the

1829
01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:51,719
Speaker 4: brain is gonna join us. And you know, he calls

1830
01:34:51,760 --> 01:34:55,200
Speaker 4: it pre flop when you bet on the game before

1831
01:34:55,280 --> 01:34:59,679
Speaker 4: the game, and he's right, you're better off just playing

1832
01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:04,160
Speaker 4: a because you'll get a better read on on it. Yeah,

1833
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:06,160
Speaker 4: you don't know how they're gonna come out. Who's gonna

1834
01:35:06,160 --> 01:35:09,400
Speaker 4: be tight with the matchup. It's gonna look like you're

1835
01:35:09,439 --> 01:35:10,439
Speaker 4: better off just waiting.

1836
01:35:12,280 --> 01:35:14,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're talking me and to this, I'm gonna wait.

1837
01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:16,519
Speaker 1: Once we tip, I'm gonna be I'm gonna sitting there with.

1838
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:18,799
Speaker 3: The Apple clips the Clippers.

1839
01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:22,120
Speaker 2: No, like the Clippers thing. I feel confident about.

1840
01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:25,320
Speaker 1: What about? Uh, real quick here, we've got Minnesota and

1841
01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:26,880
Speaker 1: the Lakers again.

1842
01:35:27,400 --> 01:35:29,400
Speaker 3: That's another great series, man.

1843
01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:34,200
Speaker 1: But but the Lakers are I was so wrong about

1844
01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:36,200
Speaker 1: the acquisition of Luca and what it would mean for

1845
01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:38,200
Speaker 1: the Lakers. I can't say that loud enough. I was

1846
01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:41,920
Speaker 1: so wrong about how easily it has jailed together and

1847
01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:44,720
Speaker 1: how just locked in Luca has been.

1848
01:35:45,320 --> 01:35:48,560
Speaker 3: Man, I remember you being I was.

1849
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:51,320
Speaker 1: I wasn't anti yet, I just was like, yeah, we'll see.

1850
01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:52,080
Speaker 7: I was.

1851
01:35:52,160 --> 01:35:54,880
Speaker 1: I was sort of lukewarm, and and the Lakers haven't

1852
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:57,559
Speaker 1: been anything other than lukewarm. Like this is just looked

1853
01:35:58,720 --> 01:36:00,960
Speaker 1: to me, you know, every time I watch them, it

1854
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:03,320
Speaker 1: looks easy, and when you see them on the floor,

1855
01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:06,240
Speaker 1: look easy in these situations. That's what I wasn't I

1856
01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:09,080
Speaker 1: wasn't sure if I thought, you know, it was a

1857
01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:11,799
Speaker 1: bad move for Dallas but a move for the Lakers

1858
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:13,840
Speaker 1: until we saw it, and now it looks like it

1859
01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:16,559
Speaker 1: was a horrid move for Dallas and an absolutely brilliant

1860
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:18,080
Speaker 1: move for the Lakers. It sets them up for the

1861
01:36:18,160 --> 01:36:18,839
Speaker 1: next decade.

1862
01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:25,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I listen. You can never count out Tea Wolves, though,

1863
01:36:25,479 --> 01:36:30,000
Speaker 4: because they're a team that could come at you they

1864
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:32,080
Speaker 4: get hot. We've seen them in the playoffs before we

1865
01:36:32,120 --> 01:36:36,720
Speaker 4: get hot. And I'm a huge ant Man fan. I

1866
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:37,599

1899
01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:21,519
Speaker 1: I'm basically a child. Like if I go four or

1900
01:38:21,560 --> 01:38:23,680
Speaker 1: five days and don't shave, people are finally like, oh,

1901
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:25,840
Speaker 1: you forgot to shave today. It's like I go a

1902

1946
01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:43,680
Speaker 1: not much of a admittedly not much of a cologne guy.

1947
01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:46,599
Speaker 1: It's a but it is funny when you're a kid.

1948
01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:49,120
Speaker 1: That's just part of I think you got to figure

1949
01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:50,680
Speaker 1: that out on your own. And I don't know why

1950
01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:54,040
Speaker 1: we can't all figure out how bad that smells, like

1951
01:40:54,120 --> 01:40:57,600
Speaker 1: how over over stinky or over smelly it is. And

1952
01:40:57,720 --> 01:40:59,280
Speaker 1: then there's some people that never grow out of it,

1953
01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:03,040
Speaker 1: Like you know, for me, like when I'm at the gym,

1954
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:05,599
Speaker 1: if I can smell your cologne when you walk by

1955
01:41:05,720 --> 01:41:08,040
Speaker 1: me in the gym, then like there should be there

1956
01:41:08,080 --> 01:41:10,040
Speaker 1: should be a way that we press a button and

1957
01:41:10,120 --> 01:41:11,840
Speaker 1: that person has to go work out somewhere else Like

1958
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:15,280
Speaker 1: that's all because like it's singing my Like, I genuinely

1959
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:19,240
Speaker 1: would rather have somebody that you know, has culturally decided

1960
01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:21,320
Speaker 1: they don't they don't believe in deodor and things like that.

1961
01:41:21,680 --> 01:41:23,880
Speaker 2: I'd rather have somebody next to me, like with a

1962
01:41:23,960 --> 01:41:25,639
Speaker 2: really bad body odor than.

1963
01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:28,679
Speaker 1: Somebody next to me that is wearing like eighteen pumps

1964
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:32,759
Speaker 1: of whatever cheap cologne is just running through my nostrils

1965
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:34,640
Speaker 1: while I'm trying to breathe while I'm lifting. It's the

1966
01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:35,639
Speaker 1: worst thing in the world.

1967
01:41:36,080 --> 01:41:38,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I don't understand the colonne. They go to

1968
01:41:38,920 --> 01:41:41,080
Speaker 4: the gym like you're going out at night.

1969
01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:43,800
Speaker 3: Whatever. The worst is the dude.

1970
01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:47,840
Speaker 4: And you know, believe me, my culture right around where

1971
01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:51,040
Speaker 4: I live, there's a lot of dudes that wear a

1972
01:41:51,120 --> 01:41:55,200
Speaker 4: lot of coloone, right, but you'd shake their hands and

1973
01:41:55,400 --> 01:41:59,479
Speaker 4: in your hands stink like the cologne. It's like, yo, bro,

1974
01:42:00,960 --> 01:42:04,560
Speaker 4: just easy man, easy walk into it.

1975
01:42:04,760 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 3: You don't need to just doubse on your hands. My god.

1976
01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:12,080
Speaker 1: Also, like there's no way that any any person of

1977
01:42:12,160 --> 01:42:14,680
Speaker 1: the you know that you're interested in, is going to

1978
01:42:14,720 --> 01:42:18,040
Speaker 1: be interested in that level of cologne stink. And then

1979
01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:19,360
Speaker 1: my first thought is going to be like, what are

1980
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:21,439
Speaker 1: you masking that you're wearing that much of it? Like

1981
01:42:21,560 --> 01:42:22,799
Speaker 1: what's your natural stank?

1982
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:23,040
Speaker 6: Like?

1983
01:42:23,240 --> 01:42:27,240
Speaker 1: Like and the gym, particularly in my experience so far,

1984
01:42:27,360 --> 01:42:29,720
Speaker 1: like I'm still relatively new to this gym life over

1985
01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:32,759
Speaker 1: the last year. I'll say this, most of the times,

1986
01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:36,200
Speaker 1: the guy that's wearing like eighteen pumps of cologne is

1987
01:42:36,280 --> 01:42:38,880
Speaker 1: also the guy that spends the whole time, like takes

1988
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:41,800
Speaker 1: five minutes between each set that he does, and he's

1989
01:42:41,880 --> 01:42:44,200
Speaker 1: just staring at himself while he flexes in the mirror.

1990
01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:47,400
Speaker 1: Like that guy, I just I can't I get it, Like, hey,

1991
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:49,599
Speaker 1: whatever gets you to the gym, and however you get

1992
01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:51,640
Speaker 1: the most out of it. Like I try to be

1993
01:42:51,720 --> 01:42:55,479
Speaker 1: super supportive. I try to like create a foster and

1994
01:42:55,600 --> 01:42:58,040
Speaker 1: environment of like, hey, let's all get the best out

1995
01:42:58,080 --> 01:42:59,920
Speaker 1: of it. But I just can't with guy that like

1996
01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:02,680
Speaker 1: does one set of triceps at five pounds and then

1997
01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:05,680
Speaker 1: spends the next ten minutes flexing his arms to look

1998
01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:07,600
Speaker 1: at all eighteen muscles in his eye, like, its just

1999
01:43:07,720 --> 01:43:08,760
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I can't do it.

2000
01:43:08,880 --> 01:43:09,200
Speaker 3: That guy.

2001
01:43:09,479 --> 01:43:11,040
Speaker 1: That guy should have his own are there should be

2002
01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:13,800
Speaker 1: a vanity area of a gym that it's like its

2003
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:17,200
Speaker 1: own corner with just mirrors and like lightweights and like

2004
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:20,200
Speaker 1: an air air machine that sucks the colone. Ow's that's

2005
01:43:20,240 --> 01:43:20,640
Speaker 1: all we did.

2006
01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:23,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great.

2007
01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:27,120
Speaker 1: I gonna bring that to the Planet Fitness in Connecticut

2008
01:43:27,120 --> 01:43:30,360
Speaker 1: and then we'll go from there. Okay, we were talking

2009
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:34,200
Speaker 1: about the Minnesota Lakers series. Who do you got? Like?

2010
01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:36,320
Speaker 2: Ultimately I'm gonna pick the Lakers in that series?

2011
01:43:36,560 --> 01:43:36,760
Speaker 3: Are you?

2012
01:43:36,920 --> 01:43:38,080
Speaker 1: Are you also picking Lakers?

2013
01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:44,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, although I I'm close. I mean I think this

2014
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:49,600
Speaker 4: is a coin flip. I lean Lakers only because the

2015
01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:55,000
Speaker 4: Lebron factor, right, Lebron Luca, I mean almost the Rivers

2016
01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:58,120
Speaker 4: playing well, I just think they got a little too much.

2017
01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:02,360
Speaker 4: But I'll I'm going to root. I'll probably root. I

2018
01:44:02,520 --> 01:44:06,400
Speaker 4: love Ant man man, I'm an Anthony Edwards fan. And

2019
01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:10,360
Speaker 4: uh I because there was growing up there was nobody

2020
01:44:10,920 --> 01:44:15,000
Speaker 4: my first name, Anthony, nobody else. People call me ant right,

2021
01:44:15,280 --> 01:44:19,000
Speaker 4: not Tony. I don't like Tony right, so everybody called

2022
01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:22,280
Speaker 4: me ant and so I finally found another athlete they

2023
01:44:22,360 --> 01:44:25,840
Speaker 4: call ant and so I love him. I've always loved them.

2024
01:44:26,280 --> 01:44:29,759
Speaker 4: He's a great actor and uh he's a great ballplayer.

2025
01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:32,840
Speaker 4: And I like that Minnesota team. I just like the

2026
01:44:32,880 --> 01:44:35,559
Speaker 4: way they play. I think it's a great series.

2027
01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:39,280
Speaker 1: Probably Lakers win, though well you know, I'm usually an

2028
01:44:39,280 --> 01:44:42,879
Speaker 1: agent of chaos, so the agent of chaos wants Minnesota

2029
01:44:42,920 --> 01:44:44,759
Speaker 1: to win. But I don't know. I think the Lakers

2030
01:44:44,800 --> 01:44:47,599
Speaker 1: have become that same chaotic love him or hate him,

2031
01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:50,200
Speaker 1: people are gonna have opinions on them as they go through.

2032
01:44:50,240 --> 01:44:52,360
Speaker 1: So I think I'm rooting for the Lakers in this series.

2033
01:44:52,400 --> 01:44:55,920
Speaker 1: But also to me in these things, Okay, if I

2034
01:44:55,960 --> 01:44:58,599
Speaker 1: think it's a close series, who can win me the game?

2035
01:44:58,760 --> 01:45:01,360
Speaker 1: There are more guys that I trust, you know, down

2036
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:03,519
Speaker 1: the stretch. I won't let my team lose. I mean,

2037
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:07,240
Speaker 1: we've seen Luca just drag teams to the NBA finals

2038
01:45:07,320 --> 01:45:08,519
Speaker 1: cough MAVs, and uh.

2039
01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:09,640
Speaker 3: You have two guys like that.

2040
01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think that's that. And Ty goes to

2041
01:45:14,120 --> 01:45:17,080
Speaker 1: the Lakers in this one, So I like the Lakers. Now,

2042
01:45:17,200 --> 01:45:21,000
Speaker 1: Memphis wins through the play in to get the opportunity. Congratulations,

2043
01:45:21,120 --> 01:45:22,880
Speaker 1: John Marett. You got your team through the plane, which

2044
01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 1: I think was important. But now you're just gonna get

2045
01:45:25,080 --> 01:45:27,160
Speaker 1: your ass kicked by Oklahoma City, right Like this is

2046
01:45:27,200 --> 01:45:29,280
Speaker 1: gonna be It's gonna be a painful watch right.

2047
01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:33,879
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I think they're that good, you know, honestly,

2048
01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:37,000
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, Okase, He's just a great, great team.

2049
01:45:37,680 --> 01:45:39,400
Speaker 4: I know that they slumped a little bit toward the

2050
01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:42,720
Speaker 4: end of the season, but that's a great team. And

2051
01:45:42,920 --> 01:45:45,719
Speaker 4: I give Memphis a ton of credit.

2052
01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:46,000
Speaker 8: Man.

2053
01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:50,280
Speaker 4: I mean, Jow was on a ban ackle he bowled

2054
01:45:50,320 --> 01:45:54,880
Speaker 4: out last night, and I like that team, Bane, I

2055
01:45:55,040 --> 01:45:56,040
Speaker 4: love I mean.

2056
01:45:55,920 --> 01:45:58,519
Speaker 3: You see the quid, the quality of play he's given them.

2057
01:45:59,080 --> 01:46:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and like not for nothing. I think Johnny

2058
01:46:04,200 --> 01:46:06,200
Speaker 1: needed this moment of the play. And I was talking

2059
01:46:06,240 --> 01:46:08,720
Speaker 1: to the Memphis radio station last week and like, at

2060
01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:11,880
Speaker 1: some point, if you want to if you want to

2061
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:14,599
Speaker 1: change some of the narratives that have been created around

2062
01:46:14,840 --> 01:46:18,000
Speaker 1: you and in professional sports, you have to have moments

2063
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:19,840
Speaker 1: in your playing career that are bigger than the moments

2064
01:46:19,880 --> 01:46:21,640
Speaker 1: that are not part of your playing career, right, And

2065
01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:25,160
Speaker 1: for Jow there's just this. There have been highlights, but

2066
01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:26,960
Speaker 1: for the last couple of years, it just hasn't been

2067
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:28,519
Speaker 1: put together the way I think a lot of us

2068
01:46:28,560 --> 01:46:31,479
Speaker 1: hoped it would be. For job. So it's it's I

2069
01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:33,840
Speaker 1: think it's a substancewer to your point, I don't want

2070
01:46:33,880 --> 01:46:36,839
Speaker 1: to minimize the moment and what it means for Memphis

2071
01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:39,120
Speaker 1: to get a win out of the play and give

2072
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:41,960
Speaker 1: Job the opportunity to continue going. It's just this is there.

2073
01:46:42,160 --> 01:46:45,240
Speaker 1: There's not It's not even close. If you were playing

2074
01:46:45,280 --> 01:46:48,599
Speaker 1: two K and you were playing too like like skilled people,

2075
01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:50,880
Speaker 1: the person that has okay, so he's going to kick

2076
01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:53,160
Speaker 1: the person with Memphis. But like they're they're just a

2077
01:46:53,240 --> 01:46:55,720
Speaker 1: better team top to bottom. So I don't think we

2078
01:46:55,800 --> 01:46:57,200
Speaker 1: get much obviously.

2079
01:46:56,880 --> 01:46:57,639
Speaker 3: It's so deep.

2080
01:46:58,000 --> 01:46:59,600
Speaker 4: I mean they have you know, they come at you

2081
01:46:59,720 --> 01:47:03,519
Speaker 4: and ames, they have great depth. They're just a great team.

2082
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:06,759
Speaker 1: They really Also it also feels like this is maybe

2083
01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:12,320
Speaker 1: the final crowning moment on the conversation around SGA, who

2084
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:15,720
Speaker 1: has the chance in these playoffs to really catapult to

2085
01:47:15,840 --> 01:47:17,880
Speaker 1: the next level of stardom with a nice run by

2086
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:20,920
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City. So a lot to like there for the Thunder.

2087
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:25,440
Speaker 1: What about Orlando Boston? Again, I don't want to simplify

2088
01:47:25,479 --> 01:47:27,559
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference, but it just feels like, I mean

2089
01:47:27,640 --> 01:47:28,080
Speaker 1: it's four.

2090
01:47:28,439 --> 01:47:33,800
Speaker 4: I mean it's you know, maybe five if Boston doesn't

2091
01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:34,880
Speaker 4: feel like playing one game.

2092
01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:38,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, if things get cute, the magic get won, right,

2093
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:41,519
Speaker 1: Like that's just yeah, I think we're in agreement on that.

2094
01:47:41,640 --> 01:47:46,200
Speaker 2: What about the heat in Cleveland then, I mean, Miami.

2095
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:47,920
Speaker 1: Gets their way in to take on Cleveland. It just

2096
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:49,880
Speaker 1: feels again like this is gonna be any matter.

2097
01:47:49,960 --> 01:47:53,960
Speaker 3: I mean, they can't play with Cleveland. No, Cleveland was

2098
01:47:54,040 --> 01:47:55,240
Speaker 3: that That's insane to me.

2099
01:47:55,320 --> 01:47:58,360
Speaker 4: It's the same thing Cleveland has it off night, maybe

2100
01:47:58,520 --> 01:47:59,439
Speaker 4: heat steal one.

2101
01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:01,320
Speaker 3: But you know, it's a route.

2102
01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:04,160
Speaker 1: So in your mind, is the East down to one

2103
01:48:04,200 --> 01:48:06,679
Speaker 1: of those three teams? Okay, see Boston and Cleveland.

2104
01:48:06,960 --> 01:48:09,200
Speaker 3: Well you well, okay, see in the West.

2105
01:48:09,240 --> 01:48:11,040
Speaker 1: The East to me is oh sorry, yeah, yeah, it's

2106
01:48:11,080 --> 01:48:15,000
Speaker 1: just between Boston. I was looking at today schedule. It's

2107
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:15,960
Speaker 1: a two horse race.

2108
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:19,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's a two horse race in the East.

2109
01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:21,800
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, quite frankly, as much as I

2110
01:48:21,960 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 4: like Cleveland and we'll root for Cleveland and be Boston,

2111
01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:28,040
Speaker 4: I don't think they can in a seven game series.

2112
01:48:29,080 --> 01:48:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah I don't. I don't either. I think this's a

2113
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:34,280
Speaker 1: but it is. The East has been clearly defined by

2114
01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:37,000
Speaker 1: two teams. One more game on the slate, and this

2115
01:48:37,200 --> 01:48:39,479
Speaker 1: one is you know, we talked a little bit about

2116
01:48:39,479 --> 01:48:42,759
Speaker 1: it earlier, but it is interesting. Golden State taken on Houston.

2117
01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:45,680
Speaker 1: I think we're both leaning Golden State and in this one.

2118
01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:48,840
Speaker 3: Is that is that fair saying yeah, yeah, I think

2119
01:48:48,880 --> 01:48:49,439
Speaker 3: you have to.

2120
01:48:49,720 --> 01:48:49,920
Speaker 1: Man.

2121
01:48:50,040 --> 01:48:51,040
Speaker 3: I just think.

2122
01:48:52,479 --> 01:48:55,519
Speaker 4: When you look at those two closing, when you have

2123
01:48:55,600 --> 01:48:58,560
Speaker 4: two closures like that in this kind of series, like

2124
01:48:58,720 --> 01:49:01,280
Speaker 4: it's a real young team. Rockets are a good team,

2125
01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:04,800
Speaker 4: and they're a good young team, but come on, you know,

2126
01:49:05,080 --> 01:49:07,559
Speaker 4: I mean, you got you got guys who just win.

2127
01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:11,040
Speaker 4: I think that's what the playoffs is about.

2128
01:49:12,400 --> 01:49:15,880
Speaker 1: How much of that, in your mind, is to do

2129
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:17,800
Speaker 1: with Golden State versus how much of it is to

2130
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:20,760
Speaker 1: do with Houston. Like I think my point here is

2131
01:49:20,800 --> 01:49:23,000
Speaker 1: that I think any team that Golden State would be

2132
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:25,639
Speaker 1: playing in the first round, naturally, we're all gonna say,

2133
01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:28,120
Speaker 1: man that that's gonna be a tough out, right, And

2134
01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:29,680
Speaker 1: then you combine it with the fact that it's a

2135
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:32,240
Speaker 1: young Houston team. Like I know, I started this whole

2136
01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:35,880
Speaker 1: playoff conversation talking about Oklahoma City, you know, needing to

2137
01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:37,759
Speaker 1: go on a run to stop the narrative that regular

2138
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:40,519
Speaker 1: season doesn't matter. But I'd be pretty nervous if I

2139
01:49:40,640 --> 01:49:42,640
Speaker 1: was having to make this decision between Golden State and

2140
01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:45,240
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City as well, like, I just think there's a

2141
01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:47,400
Speaker 1: level of street cred that goes to Golden State, and

2142
01:49:47,640 --> 01:49:50,680
Speaker 1: particularly the way they're playing with Jimmy Butler that we got.

2143
01:49:50,840 --> 01:49:52,519
Speaker 1: We gotta sort of press pause on some of our

2144
01:49:52,600 --> 01:49:56,000
Speaker 1: narratives around it. And this is a reborn, re energized

2145
01:49:56,080 --> 01:49:58,240
Speaker 1: version of Golden State that still has some legends on

2146
01:49:58,320 --> 01:49:59,840
Speaker 1: it that we've seen do legendary things.

2147
01:50:01,160 --> 01:50:04,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, like I like them. You know again, I like

2148
01:50:04,280 --> 01:50:09,439
Speaker 4: the Mitch Houston. I think Okay, she's too good, too

2149
01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:13,880
Speaker 4: deep for him. But against you what about the Lakers?

2150
01:50:14,120 --> 01:50:16,840
Speaker 4: What about Golden State Lakers? How are we feeling on

2151
01:50:16,920 --> 01:50:17,160
Speaker 4: that one?

2152
01:50:17,240 --> 01:50:20,000
Speaker 1: Like, if we get Golden State versus the Lakers, I mean,

2153
01:50:20,040 --> 01:50:21,360
Speaker 1: that's that's a tricky series.

2154
01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:25,479
Speaker 4: That's a great series. Yeah, I probably lean Lakers in

2155
01:50:25,520 --> 01:50:30,639
Speaker 4: that series. It's a great series. I like Clippers better

2156
01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:33,639
Speaker 4: than anybody I like. Okay, okay, see's the best team

2157
01:50:33,680 --> 01:50:37,280
Speaker 4: in a while. Look at it, right, best team. Clippers

2158
01:50:37,280 --> 01:50:40,920
Speaker 4: are the most dangerous team, and then you got Lakers.

2159
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:46,200
Speaker 4: Is a wild card because of Lebron and and uh

2160
01:50:46,960 --> 01:50:51,560
Speaker 4: Luca and then the same thing with Golden State, right, Like,

2161
01:50:51,720 --> 01:50:54,759
Speaker 4: Golden State is a bit of a wild card because

2162
01:50:54,800 --> 01:50:55,759
Speaker 4: it's Steph and Jimmy.

2163
01:50:56,560 --> 01:51:00,639
Speaker 1: So right now, as with the playoffs under way today

2164
01:51:00,880 --> 01:51:04,400
Speaker 1: in full force, what do you think it? Lakers Lakers

2165
01:51:04,439 --> 01:51:06,760
Speaker 1: Clippers for the Western Conference Final? Like is in an

2166
01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:09,200
Speaker 1: all LA Lake Western Conference Final?

2167
01:51:10,040 --> 01:51:13,519
Speaker 3: Who is yet? Wait? It's Clippers play okay See in

2168
01:51:13,520 --> 01:51:14,320
Speaker 3: the second round.

2169
01:51:14,200 --> 01:51:17,240
Speaker 1: Right right? Clippers? So if all, if all would go

2170
01:51:17,320 --> 01:51:19,040
Speaker 1: to the way we predicted it at this point, you'd

2171
01:51:19,080 --> 01:51:21,599
Speaker 1: have Thunder versus Clippers in the second round and Lakers

2172
01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:22,559
Speaker 1: versus the Warriors.

2173
01:51:24,200 --> 01:51:29,760
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm gonna go okay See Lakers and wins. Yeah.

2174
01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:32,320
Speaker 1: Oh, so you've got okay See getting to the gett

2175
01:51:32,320 --> 01:51:32,760
Speaker 1: into the final.

2176
01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:33,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2177
01:51:33,200 --> 01:51:36,559
Speaker 4: I I to me, it's either okay See or the Clippers.

2178
01:51:37,640 --> 01:51:41,400
Speaker 4: But I just think okay See is the deepest team.

2179
01:51:42,520 --> 01:51:46,320
Speaker 1: Can you imagine just put yourself in the suits in

2180
01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:50,000
Speaker 1: the NBA front offices for a second and imagine a

2181
01:51:50,080 --> 01:51:53,360
Speaker 1: Western Conference Final that has Oklahoma City in the Lakers

2182
01:51:53,760 --> 01:51:57,200
Speaker 1: and an Eastern Conference Final that has the Calves and

2183
01:51:57,320 --> 01:52:00,479
Speaker 1: the Celtics, And how differently they'll feel. No, that one

2184
01:52:00,520 --> 01:52:03,760
Speaker 1: outcome could give them Lakers Celtics for the NBA Championship.

2185
01:52:04,080 --> 01:52:08,280
Speaker 1: The other outcome could give them Oklahoma City versus Cleveland, Like,

2186
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:11,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but like if you're the NBA front off

2187
01:52:11,360 --> 01:52:13,840
Speaker 1: is like you're just sitting there saying, oh my god,

2188
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:17,320
Speaker 1: Like you couldn't have two more polar opposite results out

2189
01:52:17,360 --> 01:52:19,200
Speaker 1: of that sort of opportunity.

2190
01:52:20,439 --> 01:52:23,360
Speaker 3: Wow, that's great, that's great. If you think about that,

2191
01:52:23,520 --> 01:52:24,000
Speaker 3: that's great.

2192
01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:28,960

Speaker 1: Let's let's lift Lord Stanley's cup. Let's go. We'll do

2209
01:53:09,080 --> 01:53:11,360
Speaker 1: that then when we come back, He's Anthony Gargano, I'm

2210
01:53:11,400 --> 01:53:14,599
Speaker 1: Jason Fitz. It's a Fellas on Fox Sports Radio. It's

2211
01:53:14,640 --> 01:53:16,920
Speaker 1: a Fellas on Fox Sports Radio, coming at you from

2212
01:53:16,920 --> 01:53:20,120
Speaker 1: the Tirak dot Com studios. Anthony Gargano, Jason Fitz. The

2213
01:53:20,280 --> 01:53:23,920
Speaker 1: NBA playoffs get underway this weekend. Then in the NFL

2214
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:27,040
Speaker 1: Draft is only a few days away. Major League Baseball

2215
01:53:27,080 --> 01:53:28,560
Speaker 1: is in full swing, but we all know that the

2216
01:53:28,680 --> 01:53:33,320
Speaker 1: real draw is Lord Stanley's Cup. Oh, it's finally time

2217
01:53:33,400 --> 01:53:36,400
Speaker 1: for hockey playoffs, and look, I will die on this

2218
01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:39,720
Speaker 1: hill constantly, my friend. I'm not sure there's anything more

2219
01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:44,040
Speaker 1: suspenseful in sports than going to a live hockey playoff match,

2220
01:53:44,160 --> 01:53:47,680
Speaker 1: because there is just something about, you know, late in

2221
01:53:47,720 --> 01:53:51,640
Speaker 1: the third period, it's a tie, it's thy game, and

2222
01:53:51,960 --> 01:53:54,320
Speaker 1: everybody in the entire place is on pins and needles,

2223
01:53:54,400 --> 01:53:57,760
Speaker 1: like there is something about knowing that one goal, like

2224
01:53:57,880 --> 01:54:00,120
Speaker 1: one one bucket in the NBA, you can over on

2225
01:54:00,240 --> 01:54:03,280
Speaker 1: one touchdown. In the NFL, you can overcome a late

2226
01:54:03,439 --> 01:54:06,560
Speaker 1: goal in a Stanley Cup playoff game can just absolutely

2227
01:54:06,720 --> 01:54:10,200
Speaker 1: derail an entire season. It is. It is one of

2228
01:54:10,280 --> 01:54:12,479
Speaker 1: the delights in all of sports. And we're about to

2229
01:54:12,520 --> 01:54:14,680
Speaker 1: get that like the level of angst. I'm gonna need

2230
01:54:14,720 --> 01:54:17,920
Speaker 1: extra edibles because all I know is that it gets

2231
01:54:18,320 --> 01:54:20,680
Speaker 1: everything gets tight. You know, the Golden Knights have had

2232
01:54:20,760 --> 01:54:23,280
Speaker 1: a good year. Not not as good as it was

2233
01:54:23,320 --> 01:54:25,479
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, but they've had a pretty

2234
01:54:25,520 --> 01:54:27,600
Speaker 1: decent season. This year, They've been really banged up. So

2235
01:54:28,040 --> 01:54:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, I'm excited for the playoff run to start,

2236
01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:32,480
Speaker 1: but also I don't know that my nerves are ready

2237
01:54:32,520 --> 01:54:32,680
Speaker 1: for it.

2238
01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:34,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2239
01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:37,920
Speaker 4: I gotta tell you, man that speaking again, the West

2240
01:54:38,120 --> 01:54:41,520
Speaker 4: is unbelievable. Yeah, and you're gonna have to deal with

2241
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:49,200
Speaker 4: Winnipeg and Holibuck, Edmonton, Colorado.

2242
01:54:50,480 --> 01:54:53,400
Speaker 3: I mean, Dad, you got you know that.

2243
01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:57,720
Speaker 4: Even like your team, like the Blues and the Stars,

2244
01:54:57,800 --> 01:54:59,640
Speaker 4: even though I don't think they're gonna get past Winnipeg

2245
01:54:59,760 --> 01:55:02,160
Speaker 4: and Colorado, but they're nasty.

2246
01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:03,640
Speaker 3: It's gonna be fun.

2247
01:55:03,720 --> 01:55:03,880
Speaker 1: Man.

2248
01:55:04,320 --> 01:55:07,920
Speaker 4: I love your Vegas squad. You love Jack, you love that,

2249
01:55:08,120 --> 01:55:11,200
Speaker 4: you love that team. It's a great It's a it's

2250
01:55:11,200 --> 01:55:12,000
Speaker 4: gonna be a lot of fun.

2251
01:55:12,080 --> 01:55:12,200
Speaker 1: Man.

2252
01:55:12,200 --> 01:55:14,800
Speaker 3: It's good. It's I'm pumped out for the playoffs.

2253
01:55:15,280 --> 01:55:17,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. The hard thing for the Golden Knights, and I

2254
01:55:17,800 --> 01:55:21,480
Speaker 1: really think for everybody, is that I just don't want

2255
01:55:21,520 --> 01:55:23,600
Speaker 1: to take on the Oilers in any sort of a series.

2256
01:55:23,720 --> 01:55:27,280
Speaker 1: I just when you start talking about their ability, and

2257
01:55:27,320 --> 01:55:29,480
Speaker 1: we saw it last year, right like when you talk

2258
01:55:29,480 --> 01:55:32,400
Speaker 1: about their ability to just score goals in bunches, it's

2259
01:55:32,760 --> 01:55:34,120
Speaker 1: it scares, It scares.

2260
01:55:33,880 --> 01:55:35,160
Speaker 3: The Bejesus power play.

2261
01:55:35,640 --> 01:55:39,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just they are so tough to keep off

2262
01:55:39,160 --> 01:55:41,480
Speaker 1: the board. And you know we always talk about a

2263
01:55:41,520 --> 01:55:44,160
Speaker 1: hot goalie can can win you a cup. I get that,

2264
01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:47,160
Speaker 1: but man, you you don't just have to be hot.

2265
01:55:47,240 --> 01:55:49,960
Speaker 1: You have to be fire engine the entire way if

2266
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:52,280
Speaker 1: you're taking on the Oilers. So like the funny thing

2267
01:55:52,360 --> 01:55:54,520
Speaker 1: is the draw becomes difficult. That was the case last

2268
01:55:54,600 --> 01:55:56,400
Speaker 1: year for you know, the gold Knights. They ran into

2269
01:55:56,440 --> 01:55:59,400
Speaker 1: the Oilers and that was a quick end to their postseason.

2270
01:55:59,560 --> 01:56:02,000
Speaker 1: I just, you know, we talk all the time about

2271
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:05,920
Speaker 1: the failings of Toronto historically. It just maybe this is

2272
01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:09,520
Speaker 1: my rooting interest, maybe this is just my heart, but man,

2273
01:56:09,760 --> 01:56:12,320
Speaker 1: I really think we could end up on a collision.

2274
01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:14,720
Speaker 2: Course here for Toronto Edmonton all Canada Final.

2275
01:56:15,080 --> 01:56:17,680
Speaker 1: It just, man, it feels like this is finally the year,

2276
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:19,880
Speaker 1: like Winnipeg's best team in hockey. But we all know

2277
01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:22,200
Speaker 1: when you win the President's Trophy, you don't win the Cup.

2278
01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:24,480
Speaker 1: So I just eliminate them for no good reason other

2279
01:56:24,560 --> 01:56:27,240
Speaker 1: than it never happens. So then I start looking at

2280
01:56:27,280 --> 01:56:29,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the West. I'm like, man, no team

2281
01:56:29,520 --> 01:56:32,120
Speaker 1: in the westcares me more than Edmonton, and no team

2282
01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:34,520
Speaker 1: in the East has been more consistent than the Maple Leaves.

2283
01:56:34,560 --> 01:56:37,800
Speaker 1: So I kind of like ending up with an all Canada,

2284
01:56:38,120 --> 01:56:40,400
Speaker 1: the America's top hat, getting the chance to lift the

2285
01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:42,760
Speaker 1: lift the Cup.

2286
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:44,880
Speaker 3: The only thing is.

2287
01:56:47,120 --> 01:56:50,760
Speaker 4: Colorado is nasty, right like, right down, they're the betting favorite.

2288
01:56:50,800 --> 01:56:52,440
Speaker 1: I think, yeah they are.

2289
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:57,400
Speaker 3: So you got that you mentioned in Winnipeg. Figure, I

2290
01:56:57,440 --> 01:56:57,720
Speaker 3: get it.

2291
01:56:58,680 --> 01:57:01,520
Speaker 4: If you win the as this trophy never you never

2292
01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:04,720
Speaker 4: get to the Cup. But Hellabuck can put an end

2293
01:57:04,760 --> 01:57:08,200
Speaker 4: of that because Hella Buck is that good. You know,

2294
01:57:08,760 --> 01:57:11,000
Speaker 4: when it comes down the goal toeing, He's the one

2295
01:57:11,080 --> 01:57:13,040
Speaker 4: goalie I trust over anybody else.

2296
01:57:14,680 --> 01:57:18,120
Speaker 1: I agree with that, and you're right, like, that is

2297
01:57:18,160 --> 01:57:21,920
Speaker 1: the scariest thing in the world to face. It's just,

2298
01:57:22,720 --> 01:57:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, defense wins championships, but offense wins hearts, you know,

2299
01:57:26,760 --> 01:57:30,080
Speaker 1: And that's yeah, there is some level of that. I

2300
01:57:30,200 --> 01:57:35,920
Speaker 1: think you're right about that. And look Colorado. I still

2301
01:57:36,360 --> 01:57:38,520
Speaker 1: am sort of my brain is stuck on the fact

2302
01:57:38,520 --> 01:57:40,440
Speaker 1: that they're so far ahead of schedule, Like just nobody

2303
01:57:40,520 --> 01:57:43,000
Speaker 1: thought that this would be Colorado this year. So you know,

2304
01:57:43,240 --> 01:57:45,360
Speaker 1: it feels like I hate that adage of oh, you're

2305
01:57:45,360 --> 01:57:48,080
Speaker 1: playing with house money, because you're certainly not in marathon sports.

2306
01:57:48,120 --> 01:57:52,200
Speaker 1: But it feels like Colorado to the Cup is just

2307
01:57:52,280 --> 01:57:54,360
Speaker 1: such a reach from where we thought they would be.

2308
01:57:54,520 --> 01:57:57,080
Speaker 1: But you're right, they're the betting favorite at this point,

2309
01:57:57,160 --> 01:58:00,240
Speaker 1: and that's for a reason. Tough draw for them too,

2310
01:58:00,440 --> 01:58:04,040
Speaker 1: like that because realistically, like you just said, the West

2311
01:58:04,120 --> 01:58:08,080
Speaker 1: being so tough. All right, so you're Colorado, you get

2312
01:58:08,120 --> 01:58:10,560
Speaker 1: through Dallas, which is not gonna be easy, and your

2313
01:58:10,640 --> 01:58:12,680
Speaker 1: reward for that will be likely to try to get

2314
01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:15,640
Speaker 1: through Winnipeg, who, as you just mentioned, best the hottest

2315
01:58:15,680 --> 01:58:18,320
Speaker 1: goalie in the league and the best team in hockey,

2316
01:58:18,480 --> 01:58:20,520
Speaker 1: and then your your win for that will be the

2317
01:58:20,560 --> 01:58:23,920
Speaker 1: opportunity to I think, go through either Edmonton or Vegas,

2318
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:26,720
Speaker 1: who are two of the best teams in the league. Also, like,

2319
01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:28,720
Speaker 1: just to get to the Stanley Cup through the West

2320
01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:30,800
Speaker 1: for a team like Colorado is just gonna be a

2321
01:58:31,320 --> 01:58:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's juggernaut man. Like it is battle test hockey. Man.

2322
01:58:36,200 --> 01:58:39,800
Speaker 4: God, yeah, yeah, you're right on now. The East is

2323
01:58:39,920 --> 01:58:45,120
Speaker 4: interesting because similarly, you know you mentioned in Toronto, I

2324
01:58:45,320 --> 01:58:47,640
Speaker 4: love to see Toronto'm rooting Toronto. I would love to

2325
01:58:47,640 --> 01:58:52,040
Speaker 4: see them falling breakthrough. I'm a big Burubi fan. Who's

2326
01:58:52,040 --> 01:58:55,320
Speaker 4: the coach at Maple Leafs. I'd love to see them breakthrough.

2327
01:58:56,280 --> 01:59:00,839
Speaker 4: I mean as al as this not Tampa or to Florida.

2328
01:59:01,920 --> 01:59:03,960
Speaker 1: I can't deal with that. I don't. I don't. Yeah,

2329
01:59:04,040 --> 01:59:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm tired of the Florida teams going on this run.

2330
01:59:06,360 --> 01:59:08,080
Speaker 1: It's exhausting to me. I'm done with it. I don't

2331
01:59:08,120 --> 01:59:11,040
Speaker 1: trust the capital's long term to be able to like

2332
01:59:11,480 --> 01:59:14,080
Speaker 1: it's a great story. And look, I'm just I'm always

2333
01:59:14,080 --> 01:59:17,000
Speaker 1: out on the Hurricanes because they stole hockey from Hartford,

2334
01:59:17,120 --> 01:59:19,240
Speaker 1: so you know, like that's just as a general rule,

2335
01:59:19,600 --> 01:59:22,000
Speaker 1: the fact that they still wear the throwbacks of the whalers,

2336
01:59:22,040 --> 01:59:24,440
Speaker 1: and it makes a whole state just absolutely collapse, Like

2337
01:59:24,680 --> 01:59:26,600
Speaker 1: I can't find it in my heart. So maybe that's

2338
01:59:26,640 --> 01:59:28,480
Speaker 1: the way I get to Toronto. It's a weird way

2339
01:59:28,520 --> 01:59:31,320
Speaker 1: to get to Toronto in the East. No, I like it.

2340
01:59:31,840 --> 01:59:34,400
Speaker 3: I like, I would love to see that. I would.

2341
01:59:34,440 --> 01:59:36,160
Speaker 4: I would love to see them do it. I'm a

2342
01:59:36,320 --> 01:59:40,320
Speaker 4: you know stars, right, Rolston Matthews.

2343
01:59:39,920 --> 01:59:40,000
Speaker 6: And.

2344
01:59:42,680 --> 01:59:44,960
Speaker 2: I'm taking Edmonton over Toronto for the final.

2345
01:59:45,040 --> 01:59:45,440
Speaker 1: What do you got?

2346
01:59:45,520 --> 01:59:49,640
Speaker 4: All Right, I'll go. I'll go Toronto as well, but

2347
01:59:49,760 --> 01:59:52,720
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go Winnipeg.

2348
01:59:54,400 --> 01:59:56,400
Speaker 1: But our hearts on this show will always be with Vegas.

2349
01:59:56,520 --> 01:59:58,520

2357
02:00:25,080 --> 02:00:27,600
Speaker 1: just something and maybe maybe Anthony, I was asked the

2358
02:00:27,680 --> 02:00:30,440
Speaker 1: other day if my team didn't always suck, what I

2359
02:00:30,520 --> 02:00:32,560
Speaker 1: care about the draft as much? And you know what,

2360
02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:36,240
Speaker 1: it's a fair question. I think here's the thing with

2361
02:00:36,360 --> 02:00:40,040
Speaker 1: the draft. What I love about the draft is it's

2362
02:00:40,160 --> 02:00:44,400
Speaker 1: such a vibe for everybody, Like thirty two teams. Thirty

2363
02:00:44,440 --> 02:00:46,440
Speaker 1: one of the thirty two teams are gonna be convinced

2364
02:00:46,480 --> 02:00:48,200
Speaker 1: that they got better and this is the year they're

2365
02:00:48,200 --> 02:00:51,720
Speaker 1: gonna take a drastic step forward. And one team, the Eagles,

2366
02:00:51,720 --> 02:00:54,560
Speaker 1: are gonna be convinced that they've managed to stay the

2367
02:00:54,640 --> 02:00:57,080
Speaker 1: course and they're gonna repeat right, like everybody feels, and

2368
02:00:57,240 --> 02:01:00,240
Speaker 1: if you're not in that feeling, you are so far

2369
02:01:00,360 --> 02:01:02,360
Speaker 1: the opposite way. Like nobody comes out of the draft

2370
02:01:02,480 --> 02:01:05,120
Speaker 1: usually lukewarm. You come out of the draft either the

2371
02:01:05,200 --> 02:01:07,520
Speaker 1: sky is falling and what's the point of being a fan,

2372
02:01:07,960 --> 02:01:09,880
Speaker 1: or you come out of the draft with this level

2373
02:01:09,920 --> 02:01:13,680
Speaker 1: of just sheer joy that nobody can talk you off

2374
02:01:13,720 --> 02:01:16,960
Speaker 1: of for months. And it's funny because I often look

2375
02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:20,880
Speaker 1: at the football season like a unhealthy relationship. Okay, at

2376
02:01:20,920 --> 02:01:24,640
Speaker 1: the end of football season, this is like you're honest,

2377
02:01:24,800 --> 02:01:27,440
Speaker 1: like you just broke up with your girl. You realize

2378
02:01:27,480 --> 02:01:29,560
Speaker 1: in that moment, like she's crazy. We didn't work it

2379
02:01:29,640 --> 02:01:32,120
Speaker 1: all together. It was terrible. We hate each other. All

2380
02:01:32,160 --> 02:01:34,280
Speaker 1: we do is argue. You realize at the moment at

2381
02:01:34,320 --> 02:01:36,840
Speaker 1: the end of football season, after Week eighteen, you sit

2382
02:01:36,880 --> 02:01:39,040
Speaker 1: there like, my favorite team sucks. We don't have any

2383
02:01:39,120 --> 02:01:42,000
Speaker 1: linebackers were don't have any corners. Running back is a good?

2384
02:01:42,040 --> 02:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Offensive line isn't good? You got the laundry list right.

2385
02:01:44,800 --> 02:01:47,760
Speaker 1: But then about a month later, all of a sudden,

2386
02:01:47,840 --> 02:01:50,240
Speaker 1: now we hit the we hit the scouting combine, and

2387
02:01:50,320 --> 02:01:52,680
Speaker 1: you're like, well, there's some things out here that can help.

2388
02:01:52,720 --> 02:01:54,720
Speaker 1: That's like a little bit removed from your relationship. You

2389
02:01:54,800 --> 02:01:56,720
Speaker 1: feel a little better. And then you get to the

2390
02:01:56,760 --> 02:01:58,520
Speaker 1: point where all of a sudden you have free agency.

2391
02:01:58,840 --> 02:02:01,080
Speaker 1: Well that's like you're looking at a social media posts

2392
02:02:01,120 --> 02:02:03,760
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, man, I remember, like it wasn't it

2393
02:02:03,840 --> 02:02:05,920
Speaker 1: wasn't that bad, Like we had some good times. That's

2394
02:02:05,960 --> 02:02:08,120
Speaker 1: what happens. And then you hit the draft, and all

2395
02:02:08,120 --> 02:02:09,720
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you hit the draft and you're like,

2396
02:02:09,840 --> 02:02:13,320
Speaker 1: oh no, this is different, Like this thing's fixed, just

2397
02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:16,120
Speaker 1: like your relationship. A few months later, you're like no, no, no,

2398
02:02:16,280 --> 02:02:19,320
Speaker 1: like I totally got this wrong. We weren't unhealthy, we

2399
02:02:19,400 --> 02:02:21,160
Speaker 1: were stable, we were great. And you go through the

2400
02:02:21,320 --> 02:02:24,400
Speaker 1: whole summer just realizing no, we're gonna get back together

2401
02:02:24,520 --> 02:02:26,480
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be fine. And then Week one of

2402
02:02:26,560 --> 02:02:28,680
Speaker 1: the regular season is the first date where you realize

2403
02:02:28,680 --> 02:02:31,120
Speaker 1: she's still crazy, like this is the whole process we

2404
02:02:31,240 --> 02:02:34,320
Speaker 1: go through in the off season, and the draft is

2405
02:02:34,400 --> 02:02:38,800
Speaker 1: like the big, big, big, big turning moment where look,

2406
02:02:38,880 --> 02:02:41,600
Speaker 1: Jets fans are gonna be convinced that now, hey, we

2407
02:02:41,640 --> 02:02:44,600
Speaker 1: don't need Aaron Rodgers. Justin fields is gonna be everything

2408
02:02:44,680 --> 02:02:46,360
Speaker 1: we need. And we've got a new coach that knows

2409
02:02:46,400 --> 02:02:48,840
Speaker 1: how to win defense in football games, and we're gonna

2410
02:02:48,880 --> 02:02:50,120
Speaker 1: manage these situations.

2411
02:02:50,160 --> 02:02:50,360
Speaker 3: Better.

2412
02:02:50,480 --> 02:02:51,960
Speaker 1: Look at who we got in the draft, Like, Jets

2413
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:55,040
Speaker 1: fans are gonna walk themselves into not sucking. Panthers fans

2414
02:02:55,040 --> 02:02:57,920
Speaker 1: are gonna walk themselves into not sucking. Like that's why

2415
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:01,080
Speaker 1: there's all this joy around at Anthony, because teams suddenly

2416
02:03:01,120 --> 02:03:05,600
Speaker 1: become convinced of the change in their organization all over

2417
02:03:05,680 --> 02:03:07,680
Speaker 1: the course of three days of people running around in

2418
02:03:07,680 --> 02:03:09,600
Speaker 1: their underwear that have nothing to do with actual games

2419
02:03:09,640 --> 02:03:10,040
Speaker 1: on the field.

2420
02:03:11,000 --> 02:03:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2421
02:03:11,520 --> 02:03:14,440
Speaker 4: Now, And it's the interesting thing about the draft, Like

2422
02:03:14,680 --> 02:03:19,080
Speaker 4: we love it, right, we're also big college football fans, right,

2423
02:03:21,560 --> 02:03:26,520
Speaker 4: the NFL fans. There is two groups of there's football

2424
02:03:26,600 --> 02:03:30,240
Speaker 4: fans that love the NFL, love college right, that's where

2425
02:03:30,280 --> 02:03:30,960
Speaker 4: you and I are at.

2426
02:03:31,720 --> 02:03:32,240
Speaker 3: But there's a.

2427
02:03:32,320 --> 02:03:36,600
Speaker 4: Whole segment of NFL fans that don't watch college football

2428
02:03:37,200 --> 02:03:38,480
Speaker 4: but love the draft.

2429
02:03:39,440 --> 02:03:40,240
Speaker 3: It's bizarre.

2430
02:03:40,920 --> 02:03:42,400
Speaker 4: I got a buddy of mine I work with, like,

2431
02:03:42,600 --> 02:03:46,000
Speaker 4: he's like huge draft guy, and I'm going, dude, you

2432
02:03:46,120 --> 02:03:48,080
Speaker 4: don't watch college football, why do you.

2433
02:03:48,240 --> 02:03:51,040
Speaker 3: Love the draft? I loves it, loves it.

2434
02:03:51,840 --> 02:03:55,480
Speaker 4: He's like, I watch all he watches all the highlights

2435
02:03:55,680 --> 02:04:00,840
Speaker 4: and whatever after the season, and I'm like, make those sense.

2436
02:04:01,640 --> 02:04:04,200
Speaker 4: But there's a lot of NFL fans that love it.

2437
02:04:04,600 --> 02:04:07,520
Speaker 4: They love the draft, they love this idea of it,

2438
02:04:08,120 --> 02:04:09,760
Speaker 4: even if they don't watch college football.

2439
02:04:11,480 --> 02:04:16,200
Speaker 1: That's where I beg everybody. When you're trying to figure

2440
02:04:16,240 --> 02:04:19,160
Speaker 1: out what you really care about for your favorite team,

2441
02:04:19,760 --> 02:04:24,440
Speaker 1: don't just listen to the people that you know that

2442
02:04:24,800 --> 02:04:27,640
Speaker 1: cover drafts. Don't just as great a job as.

2443
02:04:27,600 --> 02:04:29,520
Speaker 2: Many of them do. And I have been coworkers with

2444
02:04:29,600 --> 02:04:30,160
Speaker 2: them for years.

2445
02:04:31,240 --> 02:04:34,680
Speaker 1: Go back and find your favorite college football minds, people

2446
02:04:34,760 --> 02:04:39,280
Speaker 1: that just cover college football at nauseum every week, every day,

2447
02:04:39,840 --> 02:04:42,000
Speaker 1: and just read what some of them are saying about

2448
02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:44,200
Speaker 1: these players, because you get a much better insight. You

2449
02:04:44,320 --> 02:04:46,960
Speaker 1: really will. And I tell people all the time, like,

2450
02:04:47,040 --> 02:04:49,160
Speaker 1: there was somebody I worked with for years that hosted

2451
02:04:49,240 --> 02:04:52,360
Speaker 1: draft content at ESPN, and he hated college football. And

2452
02:04:52,480 --> 02:04:55,760
Speaker 1: so every year watching him cram for three months for

2453
02:04:55,920 --> 02:04:58,960
Speaker 1: the draft was to me maddening because I'm watching him thinking, man,

2454
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:00,960
Speaker 1: you make your life a lot if you just spent

2455
02:05:01,320 --> 02:05:03,800
Speaker 1: every Saturday watching college football, because you'll have a pretty

2456
02:05:03,840 --> 02:05:06,400
Speaker 1: good idea of who some of these running backs are, like,

2457
02:05:06,480 --> 02:05:08,600
Speaker 1: you'll have a pretty good idea of how some of

2458
02:05:08,760 --> 02:05:09,680
Speaker 1: these receivers play.

2459
02:05:09,720 --> 02:05:12,080
Speaker 4: Clause when you watch a player, like you know, when

2460
02:05:12,120 --> 02:05:15,440
Speaker 4: you're watching Ashton gent T, you go, all right, well,

2461
02:05:15,480 --> 02:05:19,480
Speaker 4: I know that he's He's legitimate in every which way,

2462
02:05:20,120 --> 02:05:23,680
Speaker 4: including you RJ after contact was like, you've seen him live,

2463
02:05:24,680 --> 02:05:27,600
Speaker 4: break tackles and make something out of nothing.

2464
02:05:29,280 --> 02:05:32,000
Speaker 1: And I think to that end, you know, I was

2465
02:05:32,080 --> 02:05:34,680
Speaker 1: watching Get Up the other day and Greeney talked on

2466
02:05:34,760 --> 02:05:36,920
Speaker 1: Get Up about the fact that you know, he he

2467
02:05:37,240 --> 02:05:39,560
Speaker 1: reads every mock draft and he studies for the draft

2468
02:05:39,600 --> 02:05:42,480
Speaker 1: because he hosted for ESPN, and he's stunned that anyone

2469
02:05:42,480 --> 02:05:44,240
Speaker 1: would think that Jalen Milroe could go in the first

2470
02:05:44,320 --> 02:05:45,720
Speaker 1: round because there's just.

2471
02:05:45,840 --> 02:05:48,000
Speaker 2: It's never been written, it hasn't been talked about.

2472
02:05:48,080 --> 02:05:50,400
Speaker 1: And I just kept watching that the whole time, thinking, man,

2473
02:05:51,200 --> 02:05:55,200
Speaker 1: if you watched Jalen Milroe every Saturday, you understand why

2474
02:05:55,280 --> 02:05:57,120
Speaker 1: there's a possibility he would go in the first round.

2475
02:05:57,280 --> 02:05:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's going to be good. It's just

2476
02:05:59,000 --> 02:06:00,600
Speaker 1: like you've seen enough of the traits that you know

2477
02:06:00,640 --> 02:06:01,000
Speaker 1: the league.

2478
02:06:01,080 --> 02:06:02,720
Speaker 4: Like if you cover the NFL and you know what

2479
02:06:02,800 --> 02:06:08,520
Speaker 4: they draft for Georgia, you go, uh, man, Now, if

2480
02:06:08,520 --> 02:06:12,480
Speaker 4: you saw them in the ball game, it's Michigan. But

2481
02:06:12,840 --> 02:06:16,280
Speaker 4: there is there were games where you went, oh, my god,

2482
02:06:17,400 --> 02:06:21,040
Speaker 4: because he does have incredible traits.

2483
02:06:21,720 --> 02:06:22,840
Speaker 3: He does.

2484
02:06:23,440 --> 02:06:25,320
Speaker 4: I mean, if you can get even the right hands

2485
02:06:25,920 --> 02:06:28,560
Speaker 4: that can fix them and work with them, then you

2486
02:06:28,680 --> 02:06:30,360
Speaker 4: got yourself a dynamic player.

2487
02:06:31,240 --> 02:06:33,720
Speaker 1: Well and years ago a former player told me, never

2488
02:06:33,800 --> 02:06:37,080
Speaker 1: forget coaches have the bigger egos than players have, right,

2489
02:06:37,200 --> 02:06:39,280
Speaker 1: And I do think there's a level of I can

2490
02:06:39,360 --> 02:06:42,640
Speaker 1: fix him from so many coaches. So when you see,

2491
02:06:43,120 --> 02:06:45,200
Speaker 1: especially now that we know more than ever the first

2492
02:06:45,280 --> 02:06:47,760
Speaker 1: round of the draft, we're seeing teams aggressively be open

2493
02:06:47,800 --> 02:06:51,120
Speaker 1: about drafting for traits, They're drafting for development, things they

2494
02:06:51,160 --> 02:06:54,440
Speaker 1: think they can get out of certain players. Look, would

2495
02:06:54,480 --> 02:06:56,720
Speaker 1: I personally draft Jayla Miller in the first round? No,

2496
02:06:57,080 --> 02:06:59,440
Speaker 1: But can I understand why an NFL team would? Yeah?

2497
02:06:59,680 --> 02:07:01,560
Speaker 1: And I do the logic to figure out why a

2498
02:07:01,600 --> 02:07:04,040
Speaker 1: team would overlook some of the flaws in his passing

2499
02:07:04,120 --> 02:07:06,240
Speaker 1: skills to simply look at and say, no, I think

2500
02:07:06,280 --> 02:07:08,040
Speaker 1: we can develop that over the next couple of years.

2501
02:07:08,120 --> 02:07:10,480
Speaker 1: Like if Sean McVay decides he wants to take a

2502
02:07:10,560 --> 02:07:13,680
Speaker 1: flyer on somebody like Jaylen Milroe, nobody will question it

2503
02:07:13,760 --> 02:07:16,280
Speaker 1: because he's Sean McVay, right. I just I think that

2504
02:07:16,760 --> 02:07:20,200
Speaker 1: you just have to step back sometimes and look at

2505
02:07:20,240 --> 02:07:23,480
Speaker 1: the college game for more than just you know, stats,

2506
02:07:23,520 --> 02:07:25,440
Speaker 1: and more than just wins and losses, more than any

2507
02:07:25,440 --> 02:07:27,800
Speaker 1: of that, and ask yourself, like, what are teams drafting for?

2508
02:07:27,920 --> 02:07:30,400
Speaker 2: And you have a better understanding of how the draft

2509
02:07:30,520 --> 02:07:30,760
Speaker 2: is going.

2510
02:07:30,720 --> 02:07:31,160
Speaker 1: To play out.

2511
02:07:31,880 --> 02:07:36,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I think you're No, I think you're spot on.

2512
02:07:36,080 --> 02:07:39,600
Speaker 4: It makes it, It just does make it so much fun.

2513
02:07:40,800 --> 02:07:44,040
Speaker 4: And you know it's a celebration of the sport. And

2514
02:07:44,760 --> 02:07:48,680
Speaker 4: by this point in time you started getting it right.

2515
02:07:48,800 --> 02:07:51,920
Speaker 4: You missed the games. It's been a while now since

2516
02:07:52,000 --> 02:07:54,480
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl, and you know.

2517
02:07:54,680 --> 02:07:55,520
Speaker 3: You miss your team.

2518
02:07:57,560 --> 02:08:00,440
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and this is the chance to connect with

2519
02:08:00,560 --> 02:08:04,480
Speaker 1: your team in a way that while certainly the day

2520
02:08:04,560 --> 02:08:06,640
Speaker 1: after there'll be winners and losers. We do that every year.

2521
02:08:06,680 --> 02:08:08,560
Speaker 1: It's a stupid exercise, but we all have to do

2522
02:08:08,640 --> 02:08:11,200
Speaker 1: it because that's what we get paid to do, even

2523
02:08:11,280 --> 02:08:14,360
Speaker 1: though we won't know the winners and losers for five years,

2524
02:08:14,520 --> 02:08:17,840
Speaker 1: but we do that. And the weirdest part about all

2525
02:08:17,880 --> 02:08:20,400
Speaker 1: of that is that nobody will be able to change

2526
02:08:20,480 --> 02:08:24,120
Speaker 1: anybody's mind. And that's the beautiful thing, Like you're reconnecting.

2527
02:08:24,160 --> 02:08:27,240
Speaker 1: If you're a Raiders fan and your team takes whoever

2528
02:08:27,280 --> 02:08:29,480
Speaker 1: they take in the draft, you're gonna walk away from

2529
02:08:29,520 --> 02:08:32,200
Speaker 1: it either feeling great about it or feeling terrible about it,

2530
02:08:32,280 --> 02:08:34,800
Speaker 1: and nobody's gonna say anything that changes your mind. And

2531
02:08:35,440 --> 02:08:38,240
Speaker 1: there is something to that reconnection and the party vibe

2532
02:08:38,240 --> 02:08:40,800
Speaker 1: around it, like, look, I've been lucky enough to be

2533
02:08:41,440 --> 02:08:44,960
Speaker 1: at Super Bowls and NFL playoff games in person, and

2534
02:08:45,160 --> 02:08:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, the final four. I don't think there's a

2535
02:08:47,200 --> 02:08:50,360
Speaker 1: more fun experience in person in sports. In the NFL Draft,

2536
02:08:50,560 --> 02:08:54,080
Speaker 1: like it is a wild party for three days of

2537
02:08:54,240 --> 02:08:57,160
Speaker 1: fans that just are electric because of the buzz around

2538
02:08:57,200 --> 02:08:59,400
Speaker 1: it and the hype around it. And hope, like hope

2539
02:08:59,520 --> 02:09:02,000
Speaker 1: is the the hardest thing to get and the easiest

2540
02:09:02,040 --> 02:09:04,000
Speaker 1: thing to lose when it comes to watching your favorite

2541
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:06,800
Speaker 1: football team every week, Like the amount of fans that

2542
02:09:06,880 --> 02:09:10,800
Speaker 1: will be convinced their team sucks and the season's washed

2543
02:09:10,880 --> 02:09:13,560
Speaker 1: after one week because they've suddenly lost all that hope

2544
02:09:13,640 --> 02:09:18,040
Speaker 1: at week one in August September, like week one, but

2545
02:09:18,520 --> 02:09:21,280
Speaker 1: right now, next week, like when we're on the air

2546
02:09:21,400 --> 02:09:24,280
Speaker 1: tomorrow or a week from today, you know, when we're

2547
02:09:24,320 --> 02:09:26,240
Speaker 1: hanging out talking about the first round of the draft,

2548
02:09:26,560 --> 02:09:29,160
Speaker 1: We're not gonna be able to convince anybody that their

2549
02:09:29,200 --> 02:09:31,320
Speaker 1: favorite team won or lost it. We won't be able

2550
02:09:31,360 --> 02:09:33,839
Speaker 1: to change anybody's mind. And that's one of the beautiful

2551
02:09:33,880 --> 02:09:34,400
Speaker 1: things about it.

2552
02:09:35,240 --> 02:09:40,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, well said eloquent. I think you nailed it.

2553
02:09:41,080 --> 02:09:46,920
Speaker 4: So give me your top Let's go through the first round,

2554
02:09:47,160 --> 02:09:50,080
Speaker 4: and let's here, it's your top ten.

2555
02:09:51,760 --> 02:09:54,080
Speaker 1: Cam Wore's gonna go number one to the Titans. The

2556
02:09:54,200 --> 02:09:56,960
Speaker 1: Titans are going to Yeah, I think you know that.

2557
02:09:57,120 --> 02:10:00,520
Speaker 1: That one's pretty set. Here's where it gets interesting. I

2558
02:10:00,640 --> 02:10:03,200
Speaker 1: think cam Ward if he went to someplace that could

2559
02:10:03,240 --> 02:10:05,160
Speaker 1: develop a quarterback and knew what they were doing with

2560
02:10:05,200 --> 02:10:07,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback, I think that could be a really good

2561
02:10:07,560 --> 02:10:10,520
Speaker 1: draft pick. Unfortunately, I think it's more likely that cam

2562
02:10:10,600 --> 02:10:13,880
Speaker 1: Ward struggles, which means Brian Callahan's fired, which means a

2563
02:10:13,920 --> 02:10:16,160
Speaker 1: new mind comes in next year. It's more people call

2564
02:10:16,240 --> 02:10:17,880
Speaker 1: me a Titans hater when I say this, I'm not

2565
02:10:17,960 --> 02:10:20,360
Speaker 1: a Titans hater. I'm just a realist. Look at it

2566
02:10:20,520 --> 02:10:23,240
Speaker 1: like that organization has gone back and forth on like

2567
02:10:23,320 --> 02:10:26,240
Speaker 1: a seesaw between firing the GM and the coach for

2568
02:10:26,280 --> 02:10:28,120
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Now they've got a GM

2569
02:10:28,200 --> 02:10:30,520
Speaker 1: that didn't hire this coach, and so you know, it

2570
02:10:30,760 --> 02:10:33,240
Speaker 1: just feels inevitable that the Titans win four games with

2571
02:10:33,360 --> 02:10:35,320
Speaker 1: cam Ward and then all of a sudden, a new

2572
02:10:35,360 --> 02:10:37,440
Speaker 1: coach is coming in that's bringing in a new offense,

2573
02:10:37,480 --> 02:10:39,840
Speaker 1: and we'll see how that means for his development. Like

2574
02:10:40,520 --> 02:10:43,040
Speaker 1: when Trevor Lawrence was drafted, I said that the Jags

2575
02:10:43,040 --> 02:10:45,680
Speaker 1: would fail Trevor Lawrence before Trevor Lawrence failed the Jags.

2576
02:10:45,920 --> 02:10:48,120
Speaker 1: I feel that tenfold when it comes to the Titans

2577
02:10:48,160 --> 02:10:49,560
Speaker 1: and cam Ward. But I do think he's a first

2578
02:10:49,600 --> 02:10:52,480
Speaker 1: overall pick and I think in the right situation he

2579
02:10:52,520 --> 02:10:54,200
Speaker 1: could be a pretty good quarterback. I just don't think

2580
02:10:54,200 --> 02:10:55,360
Speaker 1: the Titans are the right situation.

2581
02:10:56,400 --> 02:11:00,440
Speaker 3: All right, So Ward one got.

2582
02:11:02,560 --> 02:11:04,280
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter, goes two to Cleveland.

2583
02:11:05,040 --> 02:11:07,320
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about that, and they don't have

2584
02:11:07,400 --> 02:11:09,920
Speaker 1: anybody to throw them the football, So Travis Hunter becomes

2585
02:11:09,960 --> 02:11:13,600
Speaker 1: a corner almost immediately because his time and wide receiver

2586
02:11:13,680 --> 02:11:16,080
Speaker 1: will be fairly wasted year one, I think.

2587
02:11:16,080 --> 02:11:16,160
Speaker 6: But.

2588
02:11:17,680 --> 02:11:22,280
Speaker 4: I still love I would love to go Carter, and

2589
02:11:22,560 --> 02:11:25,040
Speaker 4: I you know, I could be easily talked in the

2590
02:11:25,120 --> 02:11:29,720
Speaker 4: Carter because having Miles Garrett and Abdul Carter on the

2591
02:11:29,800 --> 02:11:31,360
Speaker 4: same front is almost unfair.

2592
02:11:32,320 --> 02:11:35,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but that's why my God like Abdul

2593
02:11:35,760 --> 02:11:39,880
Speaker 1: Carter wherever he goes, whether it's two or three, because

2594
02:11:40,200 --> 02:11:42,400
Speaker 1: I think Abdua Carter goes three to the Giants, and

2595
02:11:42,480 --> 02:11:45,080
Speaker 1: the Giants have done sort of the they've done the

2596
02:11:45,600 --> 02:11:48,160
Speaker 1: blue Light special Kmart version of Philly and trying to

2597
02:11:48,240 --> 02:11:50,440
Speaker 1: invest in the defensive line, and I like that. Just

2598
02:11:50,520 --> 02:11:53,720
Speaker 1: keep going, like, just keep going, give yourself every pass

2599
02:11:53,800 --> 02:11:58,240
Speaker 1: rusher you possibly can. I love that strategy. I wish

2600
02:11:58,320 --> 02:12:00,200
Speaker 1: there was a way Abdul Carter would somehow all to

2601
02:12:00,280 --> 02:12:02,440
Speaker 1: six won't happen. He goes at three to the Giants,

2602
02:12:02,480 --> 02:12:06,120
Speaker 1: and the Giants give themselves I think, a marked improvement

2603
02:12:06,120 --> 02:12:08,720
Speaker 1: from day one on the defensive line, which that makes

2604
02:12:08,760 --> 02:12:10,640
Speaker 1: the tangible difference. It saves so much of the rest

2605
02:12:10,680 --> 02:12:11,560
Speaker 1: of your defense.

2606
02:12:11,320 --> 02:12:14,960
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, yeah, you have to you got it all right?

2607
02:12:15,160 --> 02:12:20,520
Speaker 4: So if you got then this is where the draft

2608
02:12:20,640 --> 02:12:21,440
Speaker 4: really begins.

2609
02:12:22,400 --> 02:12:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is where.

2610
02:12:26,960 --> 02:12:31,280
Speaker 3: You got Campbell, you got Genty.

2611
02:12:32,920 --> 02:12:37,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think the Patriots can pass

2612
02:12:37,120 --> 02:12:39,960
Speaker 1: on an offensive lineman. They're desperate there so and they

2613
02:12:40,000 --> 02:12:42,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't like Will Campbell is is I think the best

2614
02:12:42,560 --> 02:12:45,600
Speaker 1: of these offensive linemens. So take Will Campbell at four,

2615
02:12:46,040 --> 02:12:48,360
Speaker 1: which then leads to Mason Graham at five. I think

2616
02:12:48,400 --> 02:12:50,960
Speaker 1: that's all pretty I think that all makes sense in

2617
02:12:51,040 --> 02:12:55,640
Speaker 1: my mind. That makes sense. I will I will be

2618
02:12:55,720 --> 02:12:58,760
Speaker 1: the contrarian. I've thought it was Ashing Genty at six

2619
02:12:58,880 --> 02:13:03,520
Speaker 1: this whole time. As we get closer to it, I just, man,

2620
02:13:03,560 --> 02:13:06,400
Speaker 1: I feel like the Raiders is an organization. Chip Kelly

2621
02:13:06,480 --> 02:13:10,280
Speaker 1: knows these Ohio State backs really well. I think he's

2622
02:13:10,280 --> 02:13:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna go with where he's comfortable. And then you look

2623
02:13:12,200 --> 02:13:15,800
Speaker 1: at Seattle in their past, and you look at at

2624
02:13:15,840 --> 02:13:17,760
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers in the way that they did things with

2625
02:13:17,800 --> 02:13:21,560
Speaker 1: spy tech. I think that I'm on Membo. The offensive

2626
02:13:21,600 --> 02:13:24,520
Speaker 1: lineman out of Missouri becomes the sixth pick to the Raiders.

2627
02:13:24,560 --> 02:13:26,920
Speaker 1: They need offensive line help all over the place. I

2628
02:13:27,000 --> 02:13:29,520
Speaker 1: think they address that at six and shock people by

2629
02:13:29,560 --> 02:13:30,640
Speaker 1: not taking Ashton Genty.

2630
02:13:31,400 --> 02:13:34,760
Speaker 3: Wow, dude, how did you feel about that?

2631
02:13:36,160 --> 02:13:39,040
Speaker 1: Look, if you tell me that they draft Astro Genty,

2632
02:13:39,200 --> 02:13:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do cartwheels.

2633
02:13:40,360 --> 02:13:41,880
Speaker 2: If you tell me that they take a big, fat guy,

2634
02:13:41,920 --> 02:13:42,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do cart wheels.

2635
02:13:43,120 --> 02:13:43,160
Speaker 7: Like.

2636
02:13:43,440 --> 02:13:45,959
Speaker 1: The great thing is that the Raiders need help everywhere,

2637
02:13:46,360 --> 02:13:48,480
Speaker 1: But I just get a great player. I do think

2638
02:13:48,560 --> 02:13:51,640
Speaker 1: that the drop off on offensive tackle as they get

2639
02:13:51,720 --> 02:13:54,400
Speaker 1: later in the draft becomes difficult, you know, So go

2640
02:13:54,560 --> 02:13:58,080
Speaker 1: get go, get your guy. But man, what makes me

2641
02:13:58,200 --> 02:14:00,240
Speaker 1: nervous is that I can't get it concent It's just

2642
02:14:00,280 --> 02:14:02,800
Speaker 1: out of any of these guys. Like I genuinely can't

2643
02:14:02,840 --> 02:14:06,160
Speaker 1: tell the world after probably fifty phone calls and text

2644
02:14:06,240 --> 02:14:08,800
Speaker 1: conversations with different guys, I can't tell the world who

2645
02:14:08,840 --> 02:14:11,600
Speaker 1: the best offensive lineman should be in this So you know,

2646
02:14:11,880 --> 02:14:15,720
Speaker 1: I I'll trust, I'll trust the eyes of the new organization,

2647
02:14:16,320 --> 02:14:20,840
Speaker 1: and and I'll go with Membo at six, which means

2648
02:14:20,880 --> 02:14:23,080
Speaker 1: I think I go Tyler Warren at seven to the Jets.

2649
02:14:23,120 --> 02:14:24,960
Speaker 1: They didn't take brock Bowers last year. I think they

2650
02:14:25,000 --> 02:14:28,200
Speaker 1: take Tyler Warren this year. Does that feel right to you? Yeah?

2651
02:14:28,640 --> 02:14:33,000
Speaker 4: Although I'm gonna tell you I mean, if you're going

2652
02:14:33,040 --> 02:14:36,760
Speaker 4: to sit there and I love Warren, but Warren is

2653
02:14:36,840 --> 02:14:37,560
Speaker 4: not Bowers.

2654
02:14:39,160 --> 02:14:40,040
Speaker 1: No he is not.

2655
02:14:40,760 --> 02:14:44,000
Speaker 4: And I love Warren, but he's not Bowers. I mean

2656
02:14:45,200 --> 02:14:47,960
Speaker 4: that's where the position thing. I'm on the other side

2657
02:14:48,000 --> 02:14:52,480
Speaker 4: of it in this sense that unless unless he is generational,

2658
02:14:53,600 --> 02:14:54,960
Speaker 4: I got it, I got it.

2659
02:14:55,080 --> 02:14:56,640
Speaker 3: Not I can't take a tight.

2660
02:14:56,640 --> 02:15:02,320
Speaker 1: End then, I I mean, but then can the Jets Jack?

2661
02:15:02,360 --> 02:15:04,840
Speaker 1: Can the Jets? Can the Jets? Yeah? Can the Jets

2662
02:15:04,960 --> 02:15:05,920
Speaker 1: justify taking Genty?

2663
02:15:06,040 --> 02:15:09,920
Speaker 3: I mean, like I mean justify trading out to the Cowboys?

2664
02:15:11,520 --> 02:15:14,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean you're you're That's where it gets really interesting.

2665
02:15:14,360 --> 02:15:16,640
Speaker 1: Even if the Raiders decide they're going to go offensive tackle,

2666
02:15:16,680 --> 02:15:20,160
Speaker 1: do they try and trade down? You know, because I

2667
02:15:20,560 --> 02:15:23,560
Speaker 1: certainly think to your point where the draft starts, if

2668
02:15:23,600 --> 02:15:26,640
Speaker 1: you're the Saints and if the Saints are interested in

2669
02:15:26,720 --> 02:15:29,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback, do you start getting trigger happy to try

2670
02:15:29,520 --> 02:15:31,400
Speaker 1: and move up. If you're the Cowboys, are you trying

2671
02:15:31,440 --> 02:15:33,839
Speaker 1: to move up to get Ashton Genty? I The Cowboys

2672
02:15:33,880 --> 02:15:35,920
Speaker 1: and the Raiders have a long history of doing business together.

2673
02:15:36,000 --> 02:15:38,640
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and Mark Davis. I think that's a pretty

2674
02:15:38,640 --> 02:15:40,880
Speaker 1: easy phone call to make. So you know, if they're

2675
02:15:40,920 --> 02:15:43,360
Speaker 1: not going to take Ashton genty. I do like the

2676
02:15:43,440 --> 02:15:45,560
Speaker 1: idea of Dallas moving up into the into that six

2677
02:15:45,600 --> 02:15:46,520
Speaker 1: spot and taking Ashton.

2678
02:15:46,600 --> 02:15:51,160
Speaker 3: Well, that's just off talking because they they everything we hear.

2679
02:15:52,360 --> 02:15:56,120
Speaker 4: Cowboys are not looking at gent, they're not looking at

2680
02:15:56,160 --> 02:15:58,960
Speaker 4: a running back, and they don't want to use capital

2681
02:15:59,040 --> 02:16:01,000
Speaker 4: trade up right.

2682
02:16:01,680 --> 02:16:06,240
Speaker 1: We're just talking about what we think makes sense. But

2683
02:16:06,360 --> 02:16:09,760
Speaker 1: I but I can go with the because look, Carolina

2684
02:16:09,880 --> 02:16:12,120
Speaker 1: at eight, they need an edge rusher, So that feels like,

2685
02:16:12,280 --> 02:16:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, Walker is the right right choice. And I

2686
02:16:15,640 --> 02:16:18,400
Speaker 1: think the wildcard is nine, like New Orleans at nine

2687
02:16:18,560 --> 02:16:21,120
Speaker 1: is genuinely the wildcard to me of are they going

2688
02:16:21,200 --> 02:16:25,960
Speaker 1: to go quarterback? You mentioned earlier that they player oh Man,

2689
02:16:26,640 --> 02:16:30,880
Speaker 1: so that which is only I don't want to say

2690
02:16:30,920 --> 02:16:33,440
Speaker 1: surprising to me, but I'm guessing you're saying Will Johnson

2691
02:16:33,480 --> 02:16:36,840
Speaker 1: there then the corner out of Michigan, And that's that's

2692
02:16:36,879 --> 02:16:39,160
Speaker 1: the other thing too, Like I'll go back if if

2693
02:16:39,240 --> 02:16:42,680
Speaker 1: the world believes it. I mean, six feels too high

2694
02:16:43,280 --> 02:16:46,800
Speaker 1: for a corner in this particular draft, but man, the

2695
02:16:46,879 --> 02:16:49,600
Speaker 1: Raiders have a desperate need at corner, and we all

2696
02:16:49,680 --> 02:16:53,320
Speaker 1: know Pete Carroll's history. Like, yeah, Will Johnson could go

2697
02:16:53,360 --> 02:16:56,440
Speaker 1: as high as six. I think that'd be high for him.

2698
02:16:56,680 --> 02:16:59,040
Speaker 1: But man, I don't know.

2699
02:16:59,240 --> 02:17:02,240
Speaker 3: Like I said that, I mean, I mean, you know

2700
02:17:03,120 --> 02:17:07,800
Speaker 3: Travis hun Yeah, but pure corner that's the best cure

2701
02:17:08,040 --> 02:17:08,920
Speaker 3: border in the draft.

2702
02:17:10,080 --> 02:17:13,240
Speaker 1: So if we've done that, then we've gotten one through

2703
02:17:13,360 --> 02:17:15,440
Speaker 1: nine and we've only had one quarterback taken. And I

2704
02:17:15,520 --> 02:17:18,879
Speaker 1: will just again remind everybody that the next really quarterback

2705
02:17:19,000 --> 02:17:21,560
Speaker 1: needy team picking. I mean, you could make the argument

2706
02:17:21,600 --> 02:17:23,640
Speaker 1: Indy's gonna take another stab at it, but it feels

2707
02:17:23,720 --> 02:17:25,560
Speaker 1: early to do that with this draft class. I mean,

2708
02:17:26,520 --> 02:17:29,800
Speaker 1: you're talking about twenty one for Pittsburgh. I mean, we

2709
02:17:29,879 --> 02:17:33,240
Speaker 1: could be looking at Pittsburgh trying to sit around and

2710
02:17:33,600 --> 02:17:35,400
Speaker 1: figure that out. The Rams at twenty six. Are they

2711
02:17:35,480 --> 02:17:36,920
Speaker 1: going to try and move up and get a quarterback

2712
02:17:36,959 --> 02:17:41,600
Speaker 1: in the future. It's this gets really really shocking. As

2713
02:17:41,640 --> 02:17:43,680
Speaker 1: we go, we'll get some of the brain's thoughts on it.

2714
02:17:43,800 --> 02:17:46,040
Speaker 1: Plus the NBA playoffs the best way to bet it,

2715
02:17:46,120 --> 02:17:48,959
Speaker 1: we'll figure that out. Coming up next, He's Anthony Gargato.

02:18:52,600 --> 02:18:55,120
Speaker 1: All morning the brain joining us. Now, we've got to

2737
02:18:55,160 --> 02:18:57,160
Speaker 1: get to some insight on what to do with the

2738
02:18:57,280 --> 02:18:58,800
Speaker 1: NBA playoffs, the NHL playoffs.

2739
02:18:58,800 --> 02:19:00,000
Speaker 2: Obviously we got a lot of playoffs.

2740
02:19:00,280 --> 02:19:02,760
Speaker 1: But let me ask you, first, Brain, is there ever

2741
02:19:02,920 --> 02:19:07,280
Speaker 1: anything real to like betting the NFL draft? I mean,

2742
02:19:07,320 --> 02:19:10,920
Speaker 1: from a professional standpoint dose All my friends constantly text

2743
02:19:10,959 --> 02:19:13,160
Speaker 1: me about it. Do you stay away from that stuff?

2744
02:19:13,160 --> 02:19:16,000
Speaker 1: Are you in on that? Where are we? It was

2745
02:19:16,040 --> 02:19:19,240
Speaker 1: such a good question, such a good question, he left us.

2746
02:19:20,320 --> 02:19:23,720
Speaker 1: All right, So all right, we'll figure it out. We'll

2747
02:19:23,760 --> 02:19:25,760
Speaker 1: figure out where what's real and not real on that.

2748
02:19:25,879 --> 02:19:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm just interested because you never know what what people

2749
02:19:29,280 --> 02:19:32,080
Speaker 1: are looking at. But certainly there's odds being taken on

2750
02:19:32,280 --> 02:19:35,959
Speaker 1: literally everything in the world. And so we'll see. We'll

2751
02:19:36,000 --> 02:19:38,720
Speaker 1: see here, Brain, I hope we got you. Now we'll

2752
02:19:38,720 --> 02:19:42,680
Speaker 1: get to the NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs. But do professionals

2753
02:19:42,720 --> 02:19:46,320
Speaker 1: play anything on the NFL draft? Okay, great, it's.

2754
02:19:46,240 --> 02:19:46,920
Speaker 8: A great question.

2755
02:19:48,080 --> 02:19:48,680
Speaker 3: You know. It's funny.

2756
02:19:48,720 --> 02:19:50,640
Speaker 8: It used to be, it really used to be that

2757
02:19:50,760 --> 02:19:53,560
Speaker 8: that was one of my biggest money makers of the year,

2758
02:19:53,600 --> 02:19:56,360
Speaker 8: and it was like almost like being in a candy store.

2759
02:19:56,800 --> 02:19:59,520
Speaker 8: But what's happened is because the sports folks lost so

2760
02:19:59,680 --> 02:20:03,840
Speaker 8: much money initially in these drafts, what they've done is

2761
02:20:03,920 --> 02:20:06,000
Speaker 8: they said, you know what, Okay, we're going to beat

2762
02:20:06,040 --> 02:20:08,880
Speaker 8: you and basically every single sport, but we're not. We

2763
02:20:09,040 --> 02:20:11,240
Speaker 8: can't beat you here. So what they did was they

2764
02:20:11,360 --> 02:20:13,480
Speaker 8: basically made it where the limits are maybe like one

2765
02:20:13,560 --> 02:20:15,600
Speaker 8: hundred bucks. Like I'm not trying to laugh at that,

2766
02:20:15,800 --> 02:20:19,560
Speaker 8: but they're not going to lose. They're not. They're going

2767
02:20:19,600 --> 02:20:21,240
Speaker 8: to make sure that they're not going to lose their

2768
02:20:21,280 --> 02:20:24,920
Speaker 8: shirt on the NFL Draft anymore. So for me, I

2769
02:20:25,080 --> 02:20:29,840
Speaker 8: used to dedicate an enormous amount of resources and trying

2770
02:20:30,000 --> 02:20:33,080
Speaker 8: into doing it because I could get down a lot

2771
02:20:33,120 --> 02:20:35,560
Speaker 8: of money and I was going to win seventy five

2772
02:20:35,640 --> 02:20:38,800
Speaker 8: eighty percent of my debts. But now I don't even honestly,

2773
02:20:39,000 --> 02:20:41,800
Speaker 8: we wanted to look at it because the amount of

2774
02:20:41,840 --> 02:20:44,680
Speaker 8: money I can make is trivial. It's just not worth

2775
02:20:44,760 --> 02:20:47,600
Speaker 8: my time in resources because the sports books won't let you.

2776
02:20:47,720 --> 02:20:49,360
Speaker 8: They're not gonna let you beat them. They're just not

2777
02:20:49,480 --> 02:20:52,720
Speaker 8: going to let you do it. They've lowered their risk

2778
02:20:52,800 --> 02:20:56,520
Speaker 8: tolerance at such a level that you know, it's more

2779
02:20:56,680 --> 02:20:59,400
Speaker 8: just for you know what, we're looking for recreational purposes

2780
02:20:59,440 --> 02:21:00,000
Speaker 8: more than anything else.

2781
02:21:02,440 --> 02:21:06,199
Speaker 3: So brain top of the morning to you, Good morning.

2782
02:21:08,200 --> 02:21:12,120
Speaker 4: How do you look at today's let's start at NBA

2783
02:21:13,120 --> 02:21:15,240
Speaker 4: and uh, let's look at today's card.

2784
02:21:15,800 --> 02:21:18,199
Speaker 3: I was quoting you earlier because I told.

2785
02:21:18,040 --> 02:21:21,560
Speaker 4: FITZI that you are a big not a big pre

2786
02:21:21,720 --> 02:21:24,560
Speaker 4: flop guy for reasons you just said, correct, and that

2787
02:21:24,760 --> 02:21:28,080
Speaker 4: you'll be live in game seeing how games go because

2788
02:21:28,120 --> 02:21:30,520
Speaker 4: you get a good feel for a game. Uh, and

2789
02:21:30,600 --> 02:21:33,120
Speaker 4: then you'll be attacking props on.

2790
02:21:34,360 --> 02:21:37,840
Speaker 8: But listen, that's being said in the NBA. These games

2791
02:21:37,879 --> 02:21:40,160
Speaker 8: today there's just one game. I actually did that, and

2792
02:21:40,160 --> 02:21:41,840
Speaker 8: I actually do like it. I do think some value.

2793
02:21:41,879 --> 02:21:45,840
Speaker 8: Look now, Damian Leward may be back in this series,

2794
02:21:46,000 --> 02:21:48,240
Speaker 8: but first of all I don't know is how compromise

2795
02:21:48,240 --> 02:21:50,760
Speaker 8: he's going to be or not be based off the layoff.

2796
02:21:50,800 --> 02:21:53,880
Speaker 8: But I do like Indiana laying. I've been Indiana laying

2797
02:21:54,280 --> 02:21:58,200
Speaker 8: five and a half in this game, anthy. I think

2798
02:21:58,240 --> 02:22:00,680
Speaker 8: they have, like, you know, legitimate eight man rotation. They're

2799
02:22:00,680 --> 02:22:04,520
Speaker 8: a legitimate team to me. The Bucks without Lillard, I

2800
02:22:04,720 --> 02:22:06,600
Speaker 8: just don't think they're very good at all. Now, they

2801
02:22:06,680 --> 02:22:09,280
Speaker 8: won like I think they're last seven in a row

2802
02:22:09,400 --> 02:22:11,560
Speaker 8: down the stretch. But if you look at that, I

2803
02:22:11,600 --> 02:22:15,560
Speaker 8: think they beat Nowhere Leans twice. They beat the sixers.

2804
02:22:15,640 --> 02:22:19,080
Speaker 8: They had one good win against Minnesota when they were

2805
02:22:19,080 --> 02:22:20,680
Speaker 8: down by twenty five at the end of three and

2806
02:22:20,760 --> 02:22:24,879
Speaker 8: they somehow, somehow down twenty five into three and winning

2807
02:22:24,920 --> 02:22:28,760
Speaker 8: the game. But I think Pacers are a better team.

2808
02:22:28,760 --> 02:22:31,240
Speaker 8: I think it's gonna be a big Pacers win where

2809
02:22:31,240 --> 02:22:33,280
Speaker 8: I think they win the game by you know, quite handily.

2810
02:22:33,360 --> 02:22:34,720
Speaker 8: That's my favorite game of the day in terms of

2811
02:22:34,720 --> 02:22:35,080
Speaker 8: the NBA.

2812
02:22:36,400 --> 02:22:36,600
Speaker 3: Wow.

2813
02:22:36,600 --> 02:22:40,000
Speaker 1: I like that when you are well, go ahead, good.

2814
02:22:40,280 --> 02:22:42,160
Speaker 3: I was going to fall up with props that you

2815
02:22:42,240 --> 02:22:43,199
Speaker 3: had props in that game.

2816
02:22:43,080 --> 02:22:45,320
Speaker 8: That you like, Yeah, well, yea, I'll give you. I'll

2817
02:22:45,360 --> 02:22:48,080
Speaker 8: give you some props, guys. And I do like look

2818
02:22:48,160 --> 02:22:50,480
Speaker 8: Miles Turner under seven after he bowns fifty six and

2819
02:22:50,520 --> 02:22:52,959
Speaker 8: twenty six the average six and a half. Again, it's

2820
02:22:53,040 --> 02:22:54,960
Speaker 8: one off and again when you get something, it's one

2821
02:22:55,040 --> 02:22:57,440
Speaker 8: off and the low pace number. Like as I always say, guys,

2822
02:22:57,520 --> 02:23:00,040
Speaker 8: like an NBA game, deld runners two thirty two and

2823
02:23:00,120 --> 02:23:01,280
Speaker 8: I have to get two thirty one and a half.

2824
02:23:01,400 --> 02:23:03,879
Speaker 8: Not that it doesn't mean something, it does, but it's

2825
02:23:03,879 --> 02:23:05,680
Speaker 8: a lot more valuable when you're getting under seven and

2826
02:23:05,680 --> 02:23:07,440
Speaker 8: a half rebounds from the numbersty six and a half.

2827
02:23:08,240 --> 02:23:10,520
Speaker 8: Jalen Brunson under three and a half rebounds is forty

2828
02:23:10,560 --> 02:23:14,119
Speaker 8: seven and eighteen. Kawhi Leonard his last twenty games over

2829
02:23:14,200 --> 02:23:17,280
Speaker 8: five manth rebounds of sixteen and four. Those are three

2830
02:23:18,000 --> 02:23:20,000
Speaker 8: stuff in the NBA that I like. And I also

2831
02:23:20,600 --> 02:23:23,560
Speaker 8: zoobots of the Clippers. I've been taking his overs all year.

2832
02:23:24,320 --> 02:23:27,000
Speaker 8: They need him sixteen and a half points. He's averaging

2833
02:23:27,120 --> 02:23:29,720
Speaker 8: like twenty one in the last six weeks or so.

2834
02:23:29,879 --> 02:23:32,000
Speaker 8: I think even in a playoff game, I still think

2835
02:23:32,000 --> 02:23:33,360
Speaker 8: he still goes over that against Denver.

2836
02:23:33,520 --> 02:23:37,240
Speaker 1: I do so walk me through a little bit of

2837
02:23:37,320 --> 02:23:39,400
Speaker 1: your mindset and like, as we were talking about Denver

2838
02:23:39,480 --> 02:23:42,080
Speaker 1: and the coaching change, when you see a change late

2839
02:23:42,120 --> 02:23:44,640
Speaker 1: in the season and everything, like how cautious are you

2840
02:23:44,800 --> 02:23:46,840
Speaker 1: to look at a team and actually put any action

2841
02:23:46,959 --> 02:23:47,240
Speaker 1: on him?

2842
02:23:48,280 --> 02:23:50,720
Speaker 8: Well, you know, it's funny. I do like the Clippers

2843
02:23:50,760 --> 02:23:52,760
Speaker 8: in that series. I think the Clippers are playing quite

2844
02:23:52,800 --> 02:23:54,920
Speaker 8: well fitting and I think the Clippers are I think

2845
02:23:54,959 --> 02:23:57,560
Speaker 8: they're kind of a live team to maybe Eden Puff

2846
02:23:57,640 --> 02:23:59,360
Speaker 8: even if second ups if they get this one.

2847
02:23:59,640 --> 02:24:00,520
Speaker 3: But we'll about that.

2848
02:24:00,680 --> 02:24:04,160
Speaker 8: But yeah, listen, obviously it's if you're going to back

2849
02:24:04,200 --> 02:24:06,400
Speaker 8: a team like that, I think, I mean, I think

2850
02:24:06,440 --> 02:24:09,480
Speaker 8: you're kind of really, there's been one thing I could

2851
02:24:09,520 --> 02:24:11,520
Speaker 8: think up in my lifetime or something like that ever,

2852
02:24:11,760 --> 02:24:14,280
Speaker 8: like helped the team. But it was a completely different scenario.

2853
02:24:14,320 --> 02:24:17,560
Speaker 8: It was when back in nineteen eighty nine, you know,

2854
02:24:17,959 --> 02:24:21,560
Speaker 8: when Michigan when Bill Freer left to go to Arizona State,

2855
02:24:21,879 --> 02:24:23,800
Speaker 8: and Steve Fisher just came in and they all, right,

2856
02:24:23,879 --> 02:24:25,440
Speaker 8: you know we have a new coach and right for

2857
02:24:25,560 --> 02:24:29,039
Speaker 8: fourth tournament. Okay, right for the tournament, and then Michigan boom,

2858
02:24:29,080 --> 02:24:32,000
Speaker 8: Glenn Rice Guitat. They went, yeah, a row. But usually

2859
02:24:32,840 --> 02:24:36,279
Speaker 8: this reeks of desperation. Not saying that it wasn't necessary.

2860
02:24:36,360 --> 02:24:39,000
Speaker 8: I'm not saying it's not essentially going to be decent.

2861
02:24:39,080 --> 02:24:41,360
Speaker 8: But the chance of something like this to me working

2862
02:24:41,440 --> 02:24:44,120
Speaker 8: out is equivalent to me of like a hell, Mary, like,

2863
02:24:44,240 --> 02:24:46,160
Speaker 8: you're not doing this unless things are really kind of

2864
02:24:46,280 --> 02:24:49,720
Speaker 8: might being somewhat broken. So I'm not very bullish on

2865
02:24:49,800 --> 02:24:53,560
Speaker 8: either mehis Memphis chances or Denvers chances of advancing this

2866
02:24:53,680 --> 02:24:54,120
Speaker 8: next round.

2867
02:24:56,920 --> 02:25:01,160
Speaker 3: All right, look about tomorrow in the East Tomorrow.

2868
02:25:02,800 --> 02:25:05,480
Speaker 8: Well, you know it's funny. One of the things in

2869
02:25:05,600 --> 02:25:08,640
Speaker 8: terms of Tomorrow's games, I'll give you a prop real quick.

2870
02:25:09,120 --> 02:25:14,800
Speaker 8: I do think they're underrating Peyton Pritchard like his pre's

2871
02:25:14,800 --> 02:25:16,600
Speaker 8: point three bits in the sister like thirteen and a

2872
02:25:16,600 --> 02:25:20,840
Speaker 8: half fourteen half area he averages closer to twenty. I

2873
02:25:20,920 --> 02:25:23,280
Speaker 8: think that's been beat up a little bit too much.

2874
02:25:24,640 --> 02:25:28,560
Speaker 8: I do think the Warriors are going to beat the

2875
02:25:28,720 --> 02:25:31,119
Speaker 8: Rockets in the series. The spread in the first game

2876
02:25:31,200 --> 02:25:35,400
Speaker 8: is like one and a half. I just don't trust personally,

2877
02:25:35,440 --> 02:25:38,680
Speaker 8: don't trust Huston to win this kind of series. I

2878
02:25:38,959 --> 02:25:43,440
Speaker 8: just don't think they're good enough offensively, just my opinion. Look,

2879
02:25:43,560 --> 02:25:47,240
Speaker 8: he Cavaliers is theoretically I think it's going to be

2880
02:25:47,280 --> 02:25:49,520
Speaker 8: a blowout Austin or I don't think it's going to

2881
02:25:49,520 --> 02:25:52,560
Speaker 8: be a blowout. Okay, see Memphis to me is probably

2882
02:25:52,640 --> 02:25:55,360
Speaker 8: going to be a blowout. But I do think anything,

2883
02:25:55,400 --> 02:25:57,800
Speaker 8: it should be a decent series. But I do think that.

2884
02:25:59,320 --> 02:26:01,280
Speaker 8: I just think State is going to find a way

2885
02:26:01,280 --> 02:26:03,840
Speaker 8: to get it done against a Houston team that I

2886
02:26:04,000 --> 02:26:06,520
Speaker 8: just think, offensively big moments is going to struggle to

2887
02:26:06,520 --> 02:26:09,120
Speaker 8: score if they're in a close game. I don't like

2888
02:26:09,200 --> 02:26:10,040
Speaker 8: them down the stretch.

2889
02:26:11,120 --> 02:26:13,560
Speaker 1: It's interesting to me because you mentioned a couple of blowouts,

2890
02:26:14,240 --> 02:26:15,960
Speaker 1: and I think we agree on that, Like we talked

2891
02:26:15,959 --> 02:26:17,800
Speaker 1: about some of these series, particularly in the East, that

2892
02:26:17,879 --> 02:26:19,920
Speaker 1: look like they're just going to be cakewalks. Where do

2893
02:26:19,959 --> 02:26:21,720
Speaker 1: you find value in a blowout series?

2894
02:26:22,600 --> 02:26:26,360
Speaker 8: Well, again, I'm always looking to see I'm always looking again,

2895
02:26:26,440 --> 02:26:28,880
Speaker 8: it's looking, but anything can be valuating. And I always

2896
02:26:28,879 --> 02:26:31,720
Speaker 8: say you have to bet. You bet numbers, not teams, right, Like,

2897
02:26:32,160 --> 02:26:36,720
Speaker 8: if you made the Celtics minus five against Magic, I'd

2898
02:26:36,760 --> 02:26:38,120
Speaker 8: make it all in bet and the Celtics. If you

2899
02:26:38,200 --> 02:26:41,119
Speaker 8: make the Celtics minus eighteen and a half against the Magic,

2900
02:26:41,160 --> 02:26:42,560
Speaker 8: I've make it all in bet on the Magic.

2901
02:26:42,920 --> 02:26:43,040
Speaker 1: Right.

2902
02:26:43,200 --> 02:26:45,039
Speaker 8: It's like if you find the number, if you think

2903
02:26:45,040 --> 02:26:47,120
Speaker 8: there's a number that's off, you bet the number, and

2904
02:26:47,160 --> 02:26:49,520
Speaker 8: you bet there's value. You go with the quote unquote

2905
02:26:49,600 --> 02:26:52,600
Speaker 8: value in the series. Like this, again, I always look

2906
02:26:52,640 --> 02:26:54,200
Speaker 8: to live bet as Anthony says, you have the pre

2907
02:26:54,280 --> 02:26:56,800
Speaker 8: flop versus the live betting. Always look at a live

2908
02:26:56,840 --> 02:26:59,640
Speaker 8: betting and like that to me is one of the

2909
02:26:59,720 --> 02:27:02,440
Speaker 8: best ways to attack these games, especially these playoff games.

2910
02:27:02,879 --> 02:27:06,120
Speaker 8: Especially these playoff games, watch to see what's happening, see

2911
02:27:06,480 --> 02:27:10,280
Speaker 8: which teams can't maybe handle certain matchups. And usually I

2912
02:27:10,400 --> 02:27:12,600
Speaker 8: find these playoff games when it's going a certain way

2913
02:27:12,640 --> 02:27:14,840
Speaker 8: for a team you it stays that way for the

2914
02:27:14,920 --> 02:27:17,520
Speaker 8: second half, so that's something I'll be looking for. And

2915
02:27:17,520 --> 02:27:19,440
Speaker 8: then of course the props, which I'm looking at every

2916
02:27:19,440 --> 02:27:22,960
Speaker 8: single every single day. But I got something real quick.

2917
02:27:23,000 --> 02:27:25,520
Speaker 8: I got a baseball game. I've never said this. I

2918
02:27:25,560 --> 02:27:27,600
Speaker 8: don't I've been doing this for an years. I've been

2919
02:27:27,640 --> 02:27:30,160
Speaker 8: on your show. I would go as far to say

2920
02:27:30,200 --> 02:27:34,960
Speaker 8: in my lifetime, I have never been more shocked. Whatever

2921
02:27:35,000 --> 02:27:38,680
Speaker 8: word I'm looking for, I told you on these line moves,

2922
02:27:39,320 --> 02:27:41,560
Speaker 8: I am on the right side ninety eight percent of

2923
02:27:41,640 --> 02:27:44,200
Speaker 8: the time. I made my biggest baseball bet in the

2924
02:27:44,280 --> 02:27:47,240
Speaker 8: last five years in a game and the line are

2925
02:27:47,520 --> 02:27:51,040
Speaker 8: seriously against me. Line has gone drastically against me, which

2926
02:27:51,120 --> 02:27:54,800
Speaker 8: I'm like, I just can't figure it out. But I'll again,

2927
02:27:54,920 --> 02:27:58,360
Speaker 8: this is a game that I thought this line should

2928
02:27:58,360 --> 02:28:01,080
Speaker 8: be at least minus one fifty taking Mail plus one

2929
02:28:01,120 --> 02:28:05,160
Speaker 8: oh three. Hunter Green, who I think Bedwin saw Young.

2930
02:28:05,400 --> 02:28:07,640
Speaker 8: I personally, I think he's the best picture in major

2931
02:28:07,680 --> 02:28:10,640
Speaker 8: of the baseball right now. Maybe him are schoobl I

2932
02:28:11,040 --> 02:28:13,400
Speaker 8: thank him one or two right now today. Obviously things

2933
02:28:13,520 --> 02:28:18,440
Speaker 8: change or whatnot. But he's going against Brandon Young his

2934
02:28:18,520 --> 02:28:21,280
Speaker 8: first start for the Baltimore Oriols. How am God's greener

2935
02:28:21,320 --> 02:28:23,520
Speaker 8: if he's an underdog. I can't figure it out. I

2936
02:28:23,720 --> 02:28:26,520
Speaker 8: don't understand it. But you can now get him in

2937
02:28:26,560 --> 02:28:31,520
Speaker 8: a price I lead, I lead probably an average price

2938
02:28:31,600 --> 02:28:35,400
Speaker 8: of about a dollar twenty or so. Now he's getting juice.

2939
02:28:35,600 --> 02:28:39,600
Speaker 8: I just don't understand it. I love, not like love

2940
02:28:39,720 --> 02:28:42,440
Speaker 8: the Cincinnati Reds today. I think you have the best

2941
02:28:42,480 --> 02:28:46,560
Speaker 8: picture in the league against a rookie, even the first start.

2942
02:28:46,959 --> 02:28:48,600
Speaker 8: I'm just going to take my chances to the best

2943
02:28:48,640 --> 02:28:49,840
Speaker 8: picture in league can win.

2944
02:28:50,480 --> 02:28:52,360
Speaker 3: A lot of people say this to you.

2945
02:28:52,600 --> 02:28:54,279
Speaker 4: Let me just back you up for a second, because

2946
02:28:54,400 --> 02:28:59,959
Speaker 4: yesterday on my local show, you had the Reds. Yesterday

2947
02:29:00,160 --> 02:29:02,520
Speaker 4: you thought the line was off. You said the wrong

2948
02:29:02,600 --> 02:29:06,000
Speaker 4: team and the Reds one big yeah.

2949
02:29:06,040 --> 02:29:09,440
Speaker 8: Baltimore is a teaman. In my opinion, that was my

2950
02:29:09,560 --> 02:29:11,960
Speaker 8: biggest over under before the year was they're under and

2951
02:29:12,120 --> 02:29:15,680
Speaker 8: I think the masters think that they're better than they

2952
02:29:15,720 --> 02:29:17,959
Speaker 8: really are. I everyone listening them.

2953
02:29:18,200 --> 02:29:19,200
Speaker 3: Can you guys know.

2954
02:29:19,280 --> 02:29:21,520
Speaker 8: Sports are an expert level. Okay, you guys, those worst

2955
02:29:21,520 --> 02:29:24,960
Speaker 8: better than ninety nine point nine percent of people. Just

2956
02:29:25,400 --> 02:29:27,080
Speaker 8: give me a favor. Look at this, Look at the

2957
02:29:27,080 --> 02:29:29,320
Speaker 8: Baltimore Oyals team. When you're like when you're on a

2958
02:29:29,360 --> 02:29:31,680
Speaker 8: commercial break, look at their pitching staff. Look at that,

2959
02:29:32,040 --> 02:29:34,720
Speaker 8: look katy yourself. The team is being priced is like

2960
02:29:34,760 --> 02:29:38,199
Speaker 8: a it's like an eighty eight win team. They're blot

2961
02:29:38,240 --> 02:29:42,400
Speaker 8: out blow average and people just don't realize it. But

2962
02:29:42,760 --> 02:29:44,920
Speaker 8: again they'll realize that one and sixty two games are done.

2963
02:29:45,320 --> 02:29:48,840
Speaker 8: But there's just they have no pitching. They have literally

2964
02:29:49,120 --> 02:29:51,200
Speaker 8: as bad a pitching as there is in almost in

2965
02:29:51,280 --> 02:29:53,960
Speaker 8: the entire sport. But people just because they warn't a

2966
02:29:54,000 --> 02:29:56,480
Speaker 8: lot of games last year, well, they're missing their entire

2967
02:29:56,520 --> 02:29:58,760
Speaker 8: team from last year. I mean, they're missing Cordon Burns,

2968
02:29:59,200 --> 02:30:03,400
Speaker 8: they're missing Kyle Bradish, they're missing Zach Eflin and then

2969
02:30:03,440 --> 02:30:06,400
Speaker 8: mister Grayson Rodriguez. So he's took the block of the day.

2970
02:30:06,480 --> 02:30:09,000
Speaker 8: Steve Avery, John Smoltz, Tom Glaviney, Greg max Off. The

2971
02:30:09,040 --> 02:30:12,200
Speaker 8: Brave rotation probably weren't going to be as good. Same

2972
02:30:12,280 --> 02:30:14,959
Speaker 8: thing here, but a couple other one to get running

2973
02:30:14,959 --> 02:30:18,240
Speaker 8: again and real quick, guys, Logan Gilbert's going intose Barrios

2974
02:30:18,920 --> 02:30:21,440
Speaker 8: Mariners against the Blue Jays. Two things I like in

2975
02:30:21,480 --> 02:30:22,960
Speaker 8: this scheme. I like the Maners laying one twenty in

2976
02:30:23,000 --> 02:30:24,680
Speaker 8: the game, and I like under four and a half

2977
02:30:24,720 --> 02:30:27,480
Speaker 8: in the five inning line. Uh think both pictures should

2978
02:30:27,480 --> 02:30:31,920
Speaker 8: have success Paul Steins against Ben Lively, Guardians against the

2979
02:30:32,000 --> 02:30:34,200
Speaker 8: Pirates like under four and a half the five inning

2980
02:30:34,240 --> 02:30:37,760
Speaker 8: line till very comfortable schemes will allow zero or one.

2981
02:30:38,120 --> 02:30:41,520
Speaker 8: And Lea's at least, in my opinion, serviceable enough that

2982
02:30:41,600 --> 02:30:43,480
Speaker 8: they had getting Pirates team. I don't think it's gonna

2983
02:30:43,480 --> 02:30:46,240
Speaker 8: score them much more than like two runs. And I'll

2984
02:30:46,280 --> 02:30:49,920
Speaker 8: give you one more seth Lougo against Casey myiz. I

2985
02:30:50,040 --> 02:30:52,720
Speaker 8: think both pictures again should have success or runners four

2986
02:30:52,720 --> 02:30:54,840
Speaker 8: and a half. I think that's going to be a

2987
02:30:54,959 --> 02:30:57,280
Speaker 8: very low scoring game as well. And again, don't trust

2988
02:30:57,320 --> 02:30:59,360
Speaker 8: eat a bullpen. So I put a the five inning games,

2989
02:30:59,440 --> 02:31:01,080
Speaker 8: five inning line in the games, I just said.

2990
02:31:02,200 --> 02:31:04,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, it was just that same thing you love

2991
02:31:04,879 --> 02:31:06,280
Speaker 1: in the in the Quest for the Cup?

2992
02:31:06,840 --> 02:31:11,000
Speaker 8: That's right, brother, would would you say and here the

2993
02:31:11,040 --> 02:31:15,080
Speaker 8: Stanley Cup? He said, yeah, yeah, you know, funny, guys,

2994
02:31:15,160 --> 02:31:18,120
Speaker 8: I really like, really really like. I have a pretty

2995
02:31:18,240 --> 02:31:21,680
Speaker 8: big bet on two teams two series. I like Tampa

2996
02:31:21,720 --> 02:31:25,320
Speaker 8: Bay to beat the Panthers. Uh, the Panthers to me

2997
02:31:25,520 --> 02:31:29,200
Speaker 8: against defending Stanley Cup champion. I get it, but I

2998
02:31:29,400 --> 02:31:32,760
Speaker 8: do not like the way this team has played down

2999
02:31:32,840 --> 02:31:36,320
Speaker 8: the stretch at all. And I know their pedigrees is

3000
02:31:36,440 --> 02:31:38,320
Speaker 8: just nails, but you know what, so it was so

3001
02:31:38,360 --> 02:31:41,080
Speaker 8: it was Tampa Bay. Campa Bay has has been an

3002
02:31:41,120 --> 02:31:43,680
Speaker 8: incredible team to me in the playoffs as well too.

3003
02:31:44,560 --> 02:31:47,119
Speaker 8: I like Tampa Bay to beat Florida, and I also

3004
02:31:47,280 --> 02:31:49,360
Speaker 8: like the Kings. I think the wrong side is favorite

3005
02:31:49,400 --> 02:31:51,920
Speaker 8: in the series. That's my favorite bet of the first round.

3006
02:31:51,959 --> 02:31:53,320
Speaker 8: I think I have a team that is flat out

3007
02:31:53,360 --> 02:31:57,240
Speaker 8: going to win because you get the comfort of having,

3008
02:31:57,800 --> 02:32:00,920
Speaker 8: you know, guys like McDavid right fight or et cetera.

3009
02:32:02,000 --> 02:32:04,760
Speaker 8: I think the Kings have been playing much better than Edmonton.

3010
02:32:05,440 --> 02:32:08,560
Speaker 8: I think Edmonton standing up injury wise, and I flat

3011
02:32:08,600 --> 02:32:11,400
Speaker 8: out again, I think the wrong side is favored.

3012
02:32:13,000 --> 02:32:15,840
Speaker 3: Wow how you feel about that, Betsy.

3013
02:32:16,280 --> 02:32:18,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know, I just picked Edmonton to go

3014
02:32:18,520 --> 02:32:21,280
Speaker 1: to go all the way. Look, I look this, this

3037
02:33:26,320 --> 02:33:29,640
Speaker 1: the biggest games. Tune into Countdown presented by Bett MGM

3038
02:33:29,720 --> 02:33:32,760
Speaker 1: every Saturday and Sunday morning right here on Fox Sports

3039
02:33:32,879 --> 02:33:40,480
Speaker 1: Radio and the iHeartRadio app. All right, Anthony, I think

3040
02:33:40,520 --> 02:33:43,120
Speaker 1: of you what I think a bye way. You know,

3041
02:33:44,600 --> 02:33:48,039
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be singing this during the NFL Draft when

3042
02:33:48,080 --> 02:33:50,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders take Ashton Genty at six, and I'm not

3043
02:33:50,680 --> 02:33:53,039
Speaker 1: gonna listen to any of the hate that people sit

3044
02:33:53,120 --> 02:33:55,920
Speaker 1: there and give me about oh, it's too high to

3045
02:33:56,080 --> 02:33:58,000
Speaker 1: draft a running back and he's gonna be I'm not

3046
02:33:58,000 --> 02:33:59,680
Speaker 1: gonna listen to any of that. You know last year,

3047
02:34:00,200 --> 02:34:02,199
Speaker 1: Last year was an easy draft for me. I said

3048
02:34:02,280 --> 02:34:06,039
Speaker 1: going into last year's draft that for years, the hardest

3049
02:34:06,080 --> 02:34:08,200
Speaker 1: part of the draft is just sitting there, especially when

3050
02:34:08,200 --> 02:34:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm hosting live draft streams that you know they'll get

3051
02:34:11,280 --> 02:34:12,600
Speaker 1: in your ear and be like, sorry, we don't have

3052
02:34:12,680 --> 02:34:14,440
Speaker 1: anything on this player. We never thought he would go

3053
02:34:14,480 --> 02:34:16,920
Speaker 1: in the first round, which actually happened to me when

3054
02:34:16,920 --> 02:34:20,400
Speaker 1: Alex Leatherwood was drafted. I it was a joy last year,

3055
02:34:20,879 --> 02:34:24,240
Speaker 1: like genuinely the only time in my entire career at

3056
02:34:24,440 --> 02:34:27,440
Speaker 1: ESPN hosting these live streams. You don't have commercials where

3057
02:34:27,480 --> 02:34:29,879
Speaker 1: they got my ears as Alex Leatherwood was the pick

3058
02:34:29,920 --> 02:34:31,520
Speaker 1: and the producer got my ear and said you got

3059
02:34:31,600 --> 02:34:33,400
Speaker 1: a stretch man. We don't have any be on him.

3060
02:34:33,720 --> 02:34:35,920
Speaker 1: Nobody thought that he was gonna go in the first round.

3061
02:34:35,959 --> 02:34:38,080
Speaker 1: Our production team didn't have any highlights ready for it

3062
02:34:38,200 --> 02:34:40,560
Speaker 1: with the first round. That's how shocked people behind the

3063
02:34:40,600 --> 02:34:43,560
Speaker 1: scenes were of Alex Leatherwood's pick. And just think about

3064
02:34:43,560 --> 02:34:46,760
Speaker 1: how every year I had every face on set look

3065
02:34:46,800 --> 02:34:48,520
Speaker 1: at me like I was an idiot. When the Raiders

3066
02:34:48,560 --> 02:34:51,160
Speaker 1: picked this year or last year, I should say, brock

3067
02:34:51,200 --> 02:34:53,480
Speaker 1: Bauers was selected, nobody looked at me like I was

3068
02:34:53,520 --> 02:34:55,440
Speaker 1: an idiot. Everybody looked around and said, man, that's a

3069
02:34:55,560 --> 02:34:58,240
Speaker 1: really good pick. That's all I want. I just want

3070
02:34:58,280 --> 02:35:00,600
Speaker 1: my favorite team not to blow it. Times. The way

3071
02:35:00,640 --> 02:35:03,040
Speaker 1: to not blow it is just to take a great player.

3072
02:35:03,320 --> 02:35:06,160
Speaker 1: You know, I like, we can get lost in the well.

3073
02:35:06,240 --> 02:35:08,560
Speaker 1: Will this will this great player really be great for

3074
02:35:08,640 --> 02:35:12,880
Speaker 1: this team? All of these conversations, but okay, I continually

3075
02:35:12,920 --> 02:35:14,959
Speaker 1: go back to this concept of game wreckers. There are

3076
02:35:15,000 --> 02:35:17,000
Speaker 1: only a few game wreckers in the league, and if

3077
02:35:17,040 --> 02:35:19,760
Speaker 1: you can get one, go get one. So I just

3078
02:35:19,800 --> 02:35:21,680
Speaker 1: don't care. I don't care at this point if the

3079
02:35:21,800 --> 02:35:25,280
Speaker 1: Raiders go ashing gent and you shouldn't draft a running back,

3080
02:35:25,320 --> 02:35:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't care if they take a linebacker. In the

3081
02:35:27,480 --> 02:35:29,680
Speaker 1: first round. I just don't care. Just go get somebody

3082
02:35:29,760 --> 02:35:32,440
Speaker 1: that universally everybody says, man, this guy can play football.

3083
02:35:33,920 --> 02:35:38,080
Speaker 4: Really, you know you're right about that. Just get a

3084
02:35:38,160 --> 02:35:41,560
Speaker 4: football player, now, I hear you. Now, I know you'll

3085
02:35:41,560 --> 02:35:44,080
Speaker 4: be working, but how will you be consuming it?

3086
02:35:44,680 --> 02:35:45,200
Speaker 3: The draft?

3087
02:35:46,000 --> 02:35:49,560
Speaker 1: Working the whole way. So in addition to the amazing

3088
02:35:49,680 --> 02:35:52,440
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, which you have to check out Draft

3089
02:35:52,520 --> 02:35:55,440
Speaker 1: night coverage. Yeah, Yahoo does is doing a live stream

3090
02:35:55,480 --> 02:35:57,640
Speaker 1: for the first three rounds, so the first two days

3091
02:35:57,640 --> 02:35:59,640
Speaker 1: of the draft, So I'll be I'll be working the

3092
02:35:59,800 --> 02:36:02,800
Speaker 1: entire time, which actually I find a lot of peace

3093
02:36:03,000 --> 02:36:05,240
Speaker 1: in because I can't dwell on it too long, you

3094
02:36:05,360 --> 02:36:07,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, I can't just sit there

3095
02:36:07,240 --> 02:36:08,920
Speaker 1: the whole time and just think what did we just

3096
02:36:09,040 --> 02:36:11,600
Speaker 1: do with this pick? Like you know, and look is

3097
02:36:11,640 --> 02:36:14,640
Speaker 1: somebody that grew up. Like I remember sitting there having

3098
02:36:14,720 --> 02:36:18,360
Speaker 1: to justified Darius Haywood Bay being, you know, drafted so high.

3099
02:36:18,400 --> 02:36:21,880
Speaker 1: I remember sitting there having to apologize for JaMarcus Russell

3100
02:36:21,920 --> 02:36:23,800
Speaker 1: before he'd ever thrown a pass. I mean the number

3101
02:36:23,840 --> 02:36:25,800
Speaker 1: of first round I remember the year that they had

3102
02:36:25,879 --> 02:36:27,800
Speaker 1: three first round picks and blew two of them. Like

3103
02:36:27,920 --> 02:36:31,320
Speaker 1: it's just it's over and over and over again. So yeah,

3104
02:36:31,400 --> 02:36:35,039
Speaker 1: for me, just the consistency of work is a beautiful thing.

3105
02:36:35,080 --> 02:36:37,680
Speaker 1: What about you, like, is there like a big is

3106
02:36:37,720 --> 02:36:40,439
Speaker 1: there a big Eagles watch party or like a celebration

3107
02:36:40,640 --> 02:36:42,400
Speaker 1: or something that you were like anything fancy?

3108
02:36:42,440 --> 02:36:44,960
Speaker 4: You know, No, Actually I'm gonna be I think we're

3109
02:36:45,000 --> 02:36:49,800
Speaker 4: doing a column record piece, so I'm not gonna spend probably,

3110
02:36:49,959 --> 02:36:55,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I think he's gonna go uh Friday, but

3111
02:36:55,600 --> 02:36:57,879
Speaker 4: we may do something Thursday with him just in case.

3112
02:36:59,480 --> 02:37:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you've been consistent on Kyle McCord the entire way,

3113
02:37:03,520 --> 02:37:06,520
Speaker 2: Like it feels like, you know, there are people around

3114
02:37:06,560 --> 02:37:09,360
Speaker 2: the league that are higher on Kyle than I think

3115
02:37:09,800 --> 02:37:13,520
Speaker 2: the general mock draft community is given credit for.

3116
02:37:13,640 --> 02:37:17,880
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I like I mean, I mean I

3117
02:37:18,320 --> 02:37:20,640
Speaker 3: divorced myself. I know the kid. I like the kid.

3118
02:37:21,680 --> 02:37:22,840
Speaker 3: I think he's got real talent.

3119
02:37:24,040 --> 02:37:28,000
Speaker 4: Talking to the NFL people, he's an interesting case because

3120
02:37:28,040 --> 02:37:31,240
Speaker 4: I think he's a kid that they believe can come

3121
02:37:31,360 --> 02:37:34,440
Speaker 4: right in and can can because you could sling it.

3122
02:37:34,560 --> 02:37:37,720
Speaker 4: He's got a terrific arm. He's a good athlete, and

3123
02:37:37,920 --> 02:37:39,640
Speaker 4: I think they look at him like, you know what,

3124
02:37:39,800 --> 02:37:43,600
Speaker 4: he's on the radar. Guy and nobody's really talking about him,

3125
02:37:44,040 --> 02:37:47,640
Speaker 4: so they're going to kind of keep quiet. I had

3126
02:37:47,680 --> 02:37:50,440
Speaker 4: a buddy of mine who's a GM tell me he's like, dude,

3127
02:37:50,480 --> 02:37:53,080
Speaker 4: he goes, you know, you were talking about all the

3128
02:37:53,160 --> 02:37:55,360
Speaker 4: mocks and all the stuff, and he's like, you know,

3129
02:37:55,600 --> 02:37:58,800
Speaker 4: when we don't talk about guys, that tellent we go

3130
02:37:58,920 --> 02:38:01,080
Speaker 4: out of our way not to talk about certain guys.

3131
02:38:02,680 --> 02:38:03,680
Speaker 3: Other guys notice that.

3132
02:38:03,959 --> 02:38:07,240
Speaker 4: Like, so you'll have a player that might have some

3133
02:38:07,360 --> 02:38:10,280
Speaker 4: heat on them and you won't hear a lot about

3134
02:38:10,360 --> 02:38:13,160
Speaker 4: them because they don't want to talk about And that

3135
02:38:13,240 --> 02:38:17,160
Speaker 4: could be in the court situation. The quarterbacks, I'll ask

3136
02:38:17,240 --> 02:38:21,800
Speaker 4: you of those second tier quarterbacks, who do you like,

3137
02:38:22,240 --> 02:38:25,600
Speaker 4: because I think you're getting a lot with Kyle Man.

3138
02:38:27,200 --> 02:38:29,840
Speaker 1: I think so. Look, I like long term, I like

3139
02:38:29,920 --> 02:38:31,800
Speaker 1: Jaylen Milroe if he goes to the right spot. I

3140
02:38:31,879 --> 02:38:35,200
Speaker 1: agree been pretty consistent on that, Bree. I like. I

3141
02:38:35,280 --> 02:38:38,080
Speaker 1: think Kyle is the sort of guy that comes in

3142
02:38:38,480 --> 02:38:41,720
Speaker 1: and has an opportunity. Like the Brock party thing is

3143
02:38:41,800 --> 02:38:43,840
Speaker 1: used too often. I think Kyle has the opportunity to

3144
02:38:43,840 --> 02:38:47,200
Speaker 1: come in and compete easy, backup year one and give

3145
02:38:47,240 --> 02:38:48,680
Speaker 1: him a couple of years he could start. You know,

3146
02:38:48,720 --> 02:38:51,520
Speaker 1: I think like Kyle. I would take Kyle over Will Howard,

3147
02:38:51,560 --> 02:38:56,039
Speaker 1: for example, I don't. I don't share everybody else's love

3148
02:38:56,080 --> 02:38:57,480
Speaker 1: affair for Tyler shuck.

3149
02:38:57,600 --> 02:38:58,920
Speaker 3: In Parker, I don't know either.

3150
02:39:00,240 --> 02:39:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean, there's some inconsistency on tape with him in general,

3151
02:39:03,440 --> 02:39:06,280
Speaker 1: but also he's twenty five, and if he needs two

3152
02:39:06,400 --> 02:39:09,720
Speaker 1: or three years to develop, then he's twenty eight. So like, look,

3153
02:39:09,920 --> 02:39:12,520
Speaker 1: I think if mccor goes somewhere, like if the Raiders

3154
02:39:12,640 --> 02:39:15,480
Speaker 1: draft McCord, I love it. Like whoever these guys go to,

3155
02:39:15,560 --> 02:39:17,280
Speaker 1: if they go to a situation where they've got a

3156
02:39:17,360 --> 02:39:19,360
Speaker 1: quarterback mind on it, I feel good about it. But

3157
02:39:19,360 --> 02:39:21,040
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about Kyle going in at the Pros.

3158
02:39:21,080 --> 02:39:21,480
Speaker 1: What about you?

3159
02:39:22,640 --> 02:39:25,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do too. I agree with what you said

3160
02:39:25,800 --> 02:39:29,160
Speaker 4: about Milrow. He's someone I really like.

3161
02:39:29,320 --> 02:39:29,520
Speaker 1: I do.

3162
02:39:30,000 --> 02:39:34,560
Speaker 4: I like him and the dark thing man, I don't know.

3163
02:39:36,200 --> 02:39:38,440
Speaker 4: I was higher on him than talking to some people

3164
02:39:38,480 --> 02:39:41,720
Speaker 4: this week. Kind of give me make me more luke

3165
02:39:41,800 --> 02:39:44,920
Speaker 4: warm about stuff. I wouldn't know more about his demeanor

3166
02:39:44,920 --> 02:39:45,440
Speaker 4: and everything.

3167
02:39:46,720 --> 02:39:49,080
Speaker 1: I'm pretty high in Jackson Dart. I just think he's

3168
02:39:49,120 --> 02:39:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna be gone in the first twelve. I think Jackson

3169
02:39:51,120 --> 02:39:54,040
Speaker 1: Dart's gone before in the top half of the first round.

3170
02:39:54,120 --> 02:39:56,440
Speaker 1: It'll be exciting no matter what, as will Fox Sports

3171
02:39:56,560 --> 02:39:58,760
Speaker 1: Radio all day stick with us. Thanks for listening to

3172
02:39:58,840 --> 02:39:59,320
Speaker 1: the Fellas.
