1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: You're listening to sports.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: Oh, good morning, welcome in here, as we look at

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft, the NBA playoffs, Jared Smith's growing gambling

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: banking account, my shrinking betting account based on backing The

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 2: Sun's last night Good Nick.

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: You bet on Bradley Beal again?

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: No, I will never bet on Bradley Beal.

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't.

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 2: I don't know that I ever will ever again. Well,

10
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: that's because we didn't have any money on it.

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: He would have went over the world, probably.

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: Partly why it went over there.

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 1: You know what.

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: Uh, let's cut to the chase. Two things here. I

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 2: want to let you down gently, everybody listening. No, Rich

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 2: Herenberger today.

17
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a it's a blow, but it is. It's

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: really rough. Jared.

19
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: You and I were going to rally, absolutely gonna rally.

20
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: And it is a ball buffet, as I love to say,

21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 2: because there is so much football to talk about.

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: Love me.

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: Some NBA playoffs will sprinkle that in as well. But

24
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 2: it's the biggest story of the draft by far. And

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: it happened on Thursday, and it was the Falcons with

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: the number eight overall.

27
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: Pick, going QB.

28
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: They go with Michael Pennix, Junior after signing Kirk Cousins

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: in the offseason. Did you like it? Did you hate it?

30
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: Did you just not understand it whatsoever? Because I was

31
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: all on the negative side of like, what are they

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: doing cliff Notes version here? Jared is one or the

33
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: other man that one or the other Falcons where you

34
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: knew Pennix Junior would be there at eight overall. So

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: if you're gonna take him, why did you sign Kirk Cousins?

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

37
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: And if you signed Kirk Cousins, why did you draft

38
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: Michael Pennix Junior. I just don't get it. This was

39
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: his seven to ten football team last year who made

40
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: up big splash by getting Kirk Cousins, and you could

41
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,919
Speaker 2: build around him. You could have gotten Rome with Doonsday,

42
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: get him another weapon, could have gone defense. These guys

43
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: called pass rushers sort of important. Their pass rush is

44
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: freaking brutal, like dead last in the NFL, and they're like, Eh,

45
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: let's go QB who might pay off three or four

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: years down the line. I don't get it at all.

47
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 3: Perplexing, I think puzzling, and frankly, I think punitive to

48
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: their long term future. And I know I'm not a

49
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: general manager. I know I'm not a scout. I know

50
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: I'm just a humble betting analyst trying to win you

51
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: mondies every week. But the response from this was pretty swift,

52
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: like it it was, and you saw the fans like that.

53
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 3: If you saw the video of the fans, I think.

54
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: I forget what the stadium they were in there watching

55
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: somewhere in Atlanta.

56
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: And it was like it was like they just stole

57
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: their lunch money, like it was a very unique pick.

58
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: So the I guess the justification. I don't know if

59
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: this was.

60
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 3: Given by Terry Fontno or some other analysts afterwards. I

61
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: saw Peter Schrager tweeted this yesterday and I just I

62
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: couldn't understand it.

63
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, well, this is like what the Packers.

64
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 3: Did, right, like with Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers, right,

65
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, and they had their say, no, no, it's

66
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: not that situation at all.

67
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: It's not even close. It's not even in the same

68
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: zip code as that situation.

69
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: Jordan Love was significantly younger when he was drafted, three

70
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 3: years younger. He was drafted with the twenty sixth pick,

71
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: not the eighth pick. There you go, and and Aaron

72
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 3: Rodgers was in Green Bay for like a decade, he'd

73
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: already won a Super Bowl, like the the ship had

74
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: sailed like they were kind of growing tired of the

75
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: you know, the dog and pony show and the back

76
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 3: and forth, and they were like, okay, like let's just

77
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: let's start to turn the page.

78
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: Here.

79
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: You can't turn the page when the book hasn't even

80
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: been opened yet. Kirk Cousins hasn't even taken a snap,

81
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: and you're already like it.

82
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: Just it made absolutely no sense.

83
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: And the draft capital you're spending at eight is very

84
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: different than twenty six at eight. And the funny thing

85
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: is they could have taken Byron Murphy at eight. They

86
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: ended up taking some defensive tackle from Clemson in the

87
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: second round.

88
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: And they traded up.

89
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 3: They gave up more picks to the Cardinals to take

90
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: this defensive tackle who I'm sure is fantastic grouke or horror,

91
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: you could have taken Byron Murphy at eight, kept all

92
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: your picks and then taken I don't know, Spencer Ratler,

93
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: another quarterback in the second round, and continued to do Now,

94
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: maybe they just really love Michael Pennix more than more

95
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: than God but I just don't understand any of the

96
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: logic here.

97
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 2: I don't either, man, I really don't. And it's a

98
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 2: great breakdown where you look at if you want to

99
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: do a Packers side by side comparison.

100
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: Brett Favre was.

101
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: With the Packers for a long time, and then they

102
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: drafted Aaron Rodgers twenty fourth overall. Yeah, right, then Rogers

103
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: plays there for a long long time, and then they

104
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: drafted Jordan Love twenty sixth overall. Twenty fourth and twenty sixth,

105
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: those picks, like you said, Jared much different than the

106
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: eighth overall pick, so much different to make it out

107
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: to be the same thing as crazy, And I keep

108
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: going back to I remember when I was a young

109
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: kid and we moved into a new neighborhood and some

110
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: of the neighbors I'll never forget, they brought a pie

111
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: over and I was like, that's kind of nice, nice

112
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: little house, very middle Gift, very Midwest. They didn't say

113
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: like go blue, yeah, Irish suck or anything like that.

114
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: Very nice, very Midwestern. And I thought about that. The

115
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: Falcons basically live on the same block as Kirk Cousins,

116
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: and they just egged his house.

117
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: That's what they did.

118
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: They didn't get him a pie, they didn't say welcome

119
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: to the neighborhood. He hasn't taken one snappy yeah Blue.

120
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: And they get Michael Pennix Junior with the eighth overall pick.

121
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: That's a premium pick. That's a guy who could have

122
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 2: helped the Falcons big time in twenty twenty four, not

123
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: a guy that could maybe help the Falcons big time

124
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight. That's just I don't know of

125
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: a worse house warming gift than what the Falcons got

126
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins.

127
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 3: It's like the plant that you know you're gonna kill,

128
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: Like the plant's already dead before you bring it home.

129
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

130
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: That, And I'm sure Kirk will handle it like a professional,

131
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 3: because Kirk is a professional. And this will be like

132
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: you do two things here. There's two things that you

133
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: do here that you don't want to do when you

134
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: got a rookie head coach, I guess not a rookie

135
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: Raheem Morris has done it before, but for the most

136
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 3: part it's been a while since he was, you know,

137
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: cassed with this. And you get a quarterback now that

138
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: is under the gun from the start. Kirk Cousins is

139
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 3: going to be answering questions about this all summer long,

140
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 3: and he will deflect because again, he is a professional

141
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: and he will handle this like a professional. But why

142
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: change the tone in Atlanta to negative before this?

143
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: There's gonna be plenty of negative things to talk about

144
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: once the season starts.

145
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: Why change the tone to negative before the season even starts.

146
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 3: That's the part that really scares me here with what

147
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: whatever they're building and the exchange.

148
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: I tweeted this out because it was hilarious.

149
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: There was a brief exchange that was on camera in

150
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 3: the Falcons war room between Fontino and Arthur Blank, and

151
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: it looked like Arthur Blank like just got his like

152
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: they brought the wrong order out to him at the diner.

153
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 3: He's like, wait, wait, wait, hold on, I didn't order this,

154
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: Like you want to take a quarterback? We I just

155
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: paid Kirk Cousins one hundred million dollars and you And

156
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 3: maybe it was his choice, maybe he doesn't like kr

157
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, but the look on his face was like, man,

158
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 3: I should have hired Bill Belichick. It was just such

159
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: a weird way to start this Raheem Morris campaign as

160
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: the new head coach, And the part that surprised me,

161
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: Like we all thought they were going defense, Brian Like,

162
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: it was like a three dollars favorite for them to

163
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: go defense.

164
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: With this first pick.

165
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 3: And the reason why it made so much sense Raheem

166
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 3: Morris rams, Aaron Donald, like Byron Murphy lot too, Like

167
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 3: there were some really good defensive players right there for

168
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 3: the taking, and they just said, eh, we're good. It

169
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 3: just it was a mind boggling decision.

170
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you go back to last season, the Falcons

171
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: defensive line not very good. They were dead last in

172
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: pass rush win rate, and if you just go by

173
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: SAX numbers, they're bottom third in the NFL in terms

174
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: of sacks generated last season. Like you said, there were

175
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: some dudes on the board right there that could have

176
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: helped you would have gotten cause again it was a

177
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: record fourteen offensive players to begin the drafts wild.

178
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: It's wild.

179
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 2: So if the Falcons went defense, they could have gone

180
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: with their first choice.

181
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: Then the number one defensive player. And I thought Murphy

182
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: at sixteen the Seattle was a steal.

183
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, Seattle is going to have an unbelievable defensive line

184
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: now for the next decade with this kid. And I

185
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 3: like what Indye did with Latsu at fifteen, right, that

186
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: was we did our mock drafts before and like that

187
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 3: was the first That was the best defensive player I

188
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 3: saw in the draft prospect wise. I know there was

189
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 3: a neck injury issue, but most of the teams cleared him.

190
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 3: And then Dallas Turner, the Kiff Alabama, who you know

191
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: played in the SEC played in How many times did

192
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: he play in that building in an SEC championship game?

193
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: Like, there was just so many good options on defense.

194
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 3: It was just Bryan it was one of the most

195
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 3: And then of course Bonnicks four picks later to Denver,

196
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: like it was the six quarterbacks in the first twelve,

197
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: like we we'll probably never see that again in our lifetime.

198
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we might not. And I'll say this for Kirk Cousins,

199
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,239
Speaker 2: it's going to be an ongoing battle to stay positive

200
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: about this, right because think about it, the season starts.

201
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: You said it, right, he's gonna deflect and he's gonna

202
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: say the right things. Ses he's a professional in the

203
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: off season. But it's easier, a lot easier to say

204
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: the right things in the off season. But when the

205
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: regular season rolls around and you're in Week four, or

206
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 2: five or what have you. And you have a rough

207
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: game offensively, you lose the game, Like, how how often

208
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: is Kirk going to come back to the draft and think, Man,

209
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: it'd be nice if I had Roma Doonza to throw to.

210
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: Maybe right, Rome goes off for a couple of touchdown

211
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 2: catches in Week four and Kirk things after a loss.

212
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: Huh, be nice to have that guy.

213
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: Or the pass rush just can't get home and Dallas

214
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: Turner has a day right like it's going to be

215
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: an ongoing battle to just forget about it, forget about

216
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: what could be. But every single day you go to

217
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: the facility, there's Pedix.

218
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: Junior right there.

219
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: I know it's so and I hate the guy, but

220
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: you hate what it represents.

221
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: You have to.

222
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 3: It's like it's like when you're in the relationship, the marriage,

223
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 3: the long term marriage, and you're just like, what am I? Like?

224
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: What did I do?

225
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: What did I And that was so my first gut reaction,

226
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: after the shock of wow, they really did that, my

227
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 3: first gut reaction is what's Kirk Cousins thinking, Because listen,

228
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 3: this guy when the quarterback position in the NFL is

229
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: the position you want that person to feel so comfy

230
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 3: and cozy and happy with the situation, especially in a

231
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: free agency role.

232
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: Right, it wasn't like they drafted him. It wasn't like.

233
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 3: He was the first team that he was a part of,

234
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 3: and he came up with the organization and there's this

235
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 3: loyalty and this brand. You know, Oh, I love that

236
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: he that's the Vikings for him, or actually, frankly it's Washington,

237
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: but really the Vikings was where he made his name,

238
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: I think, and really became, you know, came into his own.

239
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 3: And then he signs this free agent deal and it's

240
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 3: all hunky dory for like three weeks, and then all

241
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: of a sudden, it like the reality of the NFL

242
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: really sets in and he and I'm and I'm thinking, man,

243
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: Kirk's probably like, what organize it?

244
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: What Mickey mouse team? Did I just sign up with? Here?

245
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: That that you just brought me in and you paid

246
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 3: me all this money and there's all these and the

247
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 3: crazy thing about this draft again.

248
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: You had three quarterbacks taking in the first four picks. Yeah,

249
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: in the first three picks.

250
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 3: And then the eighth pick, so that means you had

251
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 3: four other players taken before you had so many good

252
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 3: players on the board. Here, and then you tried to

253
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 3: sell it like, oh yeah, well this kid's and then

254
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: font after the draft is like, I hope he doesn't

255
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 3: play untill he's twenty eight.

256
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: That being is a good thing. So you just.

257
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 3: Drafted a player with the eighth pick that you hope

258
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 3: doesn't play for four years.

259
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: Like, make that make sense? That is asenine. It is.

260
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 2: Just that part of it. They took the fifth quarterback

261
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: off the board, right they they went, Is that right?

262
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 3: It was no fourth because they took Pennix before McCarthy.

263
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: Unbelievable, Terry Bottina.

264
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: Whenever you're smoking down there in Atlanta, I want a

265
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 3: piece of it.

266
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: I'm in the fourth quarterback or the first defensive player,

267
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: or the first any.

268
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: Other player basically except for receiver.

269
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: Real and they're like, you know what, let's go QB,

270
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 2: go QB.

271
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: At least it ain't go kicker. That was that. At

272
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: least it wasn't the worst.

273
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 3: Decision they could have made. They could have picked a

274
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 3: kicker and it would have been worse. So congratulations, Starry,

275
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 3: you made the second worst positional choice with the eighth pick.

276
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: Man unreal.

277

306
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: It is Fox Sports Saturday right here on Fox Sports Radio. Okay,

307
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: we got the uh, the critical analysis side of the

308
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: way at least to begin the show. I prefer going

309
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: that way. You know, what are the Falcons thinking? And

310
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: then we get to something that we like instead of

311
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 2: the other way around. You know, we're gonna hit on

312
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: the Falcons again at some point. Oh, I feel like once.

313
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: Is not enough for Terry Fount knowing his gang name.

314
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm with you for a pick there.

315
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: I love that I've got something to say. We'll bring

316
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: it up in the third hour. Okay, nice, But something

317
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: that you said about Belichick made me think about bracelets

318
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: that were very, very popular years ago and how the

319
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: Falcons could have utilized one. But let's stick to what

320
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: we like right here. If you look at all the

321
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: drafts thus far, we're through three rounds, okay, so a

322
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: long way to go, but the premiere rounds, the premium rounds,

323
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: if you will, who do you like the most what

324
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: they've done so far?

325
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: Jared? I mean the Bears have to be at the top.

326
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: I mean they got I would say, a generational prospect right,

327
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: and we don't know what the future is gonna look

328
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 3: like for Kayleb Williams. But all the smoke he's been

329
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 3: getting over the last three months is is a little overblown.

330
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 3: Like the kid has handled everything very well. I thought

331
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: he handled Draft Night well, I thought, and who am

332
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 3: I to judge? Right? But there are a lot of

333
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 3: little checkpoints throughout the process. There was not one red

334
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 3: flag for me throughout this process. For Kayleb Williams, he

335
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 3: handled it despite all the negative criticism that he received

336
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 3: about his you know, work ethic and all the you know,

337
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 3: behind the scenes stuff and crying on the field and

338
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 3: all that nonsense, which.

339
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: Didn't matter at all.

340
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 3: He was very consistent to the process and the Bears

341
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: obviously made the right choice. And then, oh, by the way,

342
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 3: everyone thought they were gonna go defense at nine. I

343
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 3: thought again, Byron Murphy catching some steam there to go

344
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 3: in the top ten. I thought Atlanta Chicago made a

345
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 3: ton of sense, and they decided to go, Hey, we

346
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 3: just drafted a generational prospected quarterback. Let's bring in who

347
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 3: I would say, I know, Marvin Harrison, I think probably

348
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 3: the best overall receiving prospect in this draft.

349
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: I think that is barring one hands down. But I'll

350
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: be honest.

351
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 3: I really liked Rama Dunes and and I think he

352
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,239
Speaker 3: has the I think the phrase that was used by

353
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 3: the scouts, and I love how they come up with

354
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 3: like this. You know these like weird like catch phrases

355
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 3: for these for these kids, alpha target catch trade or

356
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: something like the way he like catches the ball, like

357
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: the high pointing of the football.

358
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: Like they thought he was the.

359
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 3: Best in this draft at that alpha of the of

360
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 3: the catch radius. That's what it is, Alpha catch radius.

361
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: That was the phrase that was used for Roma Douonday.

362
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 3: So you get two picks in the top ten. It's

363
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: an obvious choice.

364
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: But the Bears got a whole lot better on Thursday.

365
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, they really did. You're right about that. A couple

366
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: other teams that I really like what they did. I

367
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: really like what the Ravens and with the Eagles were abo.

368
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially Philly.

369
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, because both of these teams, I said, with both

370
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 2: of their first round picks, where I'm like, wow, those

371
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 2: players were still on the board. You know where you go.

372
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 2: The Eagles, they had to get a corner, and they

373
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 2: get Quiny and Mitchell out of Toledo, who could have

374
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: easily been a top fifteen pick, maybe a top twelve pick,

375
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 2: like Micah Parsons when you've got when Michaeh Parsons is

376
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: on a division rival Cowboys team and he's just like, ugh,

377
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 2: this made me completely sick. With the Eagles getting quinnyon Mitchell, Yeah,

378
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: that tells you everything you need to know right there.

379
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 2: And then also the Ravens they get Nate Wiggins, the

380
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 2: corner out of Clemson, and he just fits in perfectly

381
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: with what they do. He's just a physical guy, competitor,

382
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 2: and you're like, this is the epitome of a Ravens player.

383
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 2: He fits into their culture perfectly. And then with the

384
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 2: Eagles you also get Cooper de Gen in the second round.

385
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: He could have been a first rounder.

386
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 2: And look, man, you never know, just because you get

387
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: good value on a player doesn't mean automatically that guy's

388
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 2: gonna produce. But it's a good value pick. And the

389
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: chances are pretty high that they're going to be productive.

390
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 2: And for the Eagles, they needed to shore up that

391
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 2: secondary and they did with their first two picks. So

392
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 2: I really like what the Eagles and the Ravens were

393
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 2: able to do. Those guys fit into their cultures, I

394
00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: think seamlessly.

395
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 3: I agree, and I'll stay at the top because I

396
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: think the two quarterbacks that were taken after Caleb Williams,

397
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 3: I thought those were the perfect selections for the teams, right,

398
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 3: the fits. And we heard a little Jayden and Daniel smoke. Hey,

399
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 3: maybe they didn't like what how he handled it. Now

400
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 3: that was all smoke like he was always the guy

401
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: to Washington. It makes a ton of sense. He has

402
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 3: five years of experience. They caught college experience. They needed

403
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 3: someone day one to come in and play in this

404
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 3: Cliff Kingsbury new system with the new head coach and

405
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 3: the new owner and all the bells and whistles and everything.

406
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 3: And then Drake May, who was younger only had significantly

407
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 3: less college experience, goes to a situation in New England

408
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 3: where Jacoby Brissett, who I would say of all the

409
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 3: starting quarterback level guys, he's probably on the lower end

410
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 3: but a lot of experience.

411
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: He's a good dude.

412
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 3: He's a good you know, He's one of those guys

413
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 3: that'll bring Drake May in and you know, you know,

414
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 3: teach him the system and kind of bring them along,

415
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 3: and that's what Drake needed. So I thought the next

416
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks were both good fits. I have no idea

417
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: which one of the two will end up being the

418
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 3: better pro A lot of that is scheme and situation

419
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 3: and what kind of receivers they bring in, and you know,

420
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 3: if the defense is any good in Washington.

421
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: Who knows. And same thing with New England.

422
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 3: But I did like those fits, the things that surprised

423
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 3: me a little later in the draft.

424
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: And I don't know if this is gonna end up

425
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: being a good pick.

426
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 3: But I cannot believe the Bills traded with the Chiefs

427
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: to let them go take the Tyreek Hill replacement. If

428
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 3: you recall, the Patrick Mahomes pick was also a Bills trade,

429
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: And it just seems like the Bills and the Chiefs

430
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 3: have this like weird trade draft mojo going where if

431
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 3: I'm Buffalo and that was a different regime that traded

432
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 3: the Mahomes pick, So you know, there's no apples to oranges.

433
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 3: But you got to remember that, right, Like you're getting

434
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: killed by this guy every year in the playoffs, and

435
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 3: now you're gonna make another trade to allow the Chiefs

436
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 3: to take Xavier Worthy, who you know, it was like

437
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 3: the best forty time in like thirty years in the combine.

438
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 3: Like who knows if he's gonna end up being a

439
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 3: great pro. But that's the kind of speed you don't

440
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 3: want to give Patrick Mahomes. So that was a bit

441
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 3: of a head scratching move. But I like to pick

442
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 3: for Kansas City, of course, to get a little bit

443
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 3: fast in the receiving group.

444
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: The other pick I like a little under the radar.

445
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 3: I thought the Bucks really needed help on the offensive line.

446
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: In the interior.

447
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 3: I thought Graham Barton, so I bet the under on

448
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 3: Graham Barton's draft position at.

449
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: Twenty one and a half.

450
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: I thought Pittsburgh Miami also needed some interior help, and

451
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 3: he was very versatile. The most versatile offensive lineman in

452
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 3: the draft and play guard and play center came from

453
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: Duke It understands, a really smart kid. I really like

454
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: the Bucks taking in because Ryan Jensen, who'd been a

455
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: staple of that offensive line during the Tom Brady.

456
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: Super Bowl years. He was forced to retire because of

457
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: a knee injury.

458
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 3: So again you can kind of see the scheme and

459
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: the fit and how these teams view their situations based

460
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 3: off of their first round. And then you've got you know,

461
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 3: Wackadou City there in Atlanta going on.

462
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: Man, if you're the Chiefs, sorry, if you're the Bills

463
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 2: and you get called by the Chiefs right and they're like, hey,

464
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: we'd like to trade up with you, guys, I would exactly.

465
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 2: It would just be click, no, thanks, take a call

466
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: from somebody else. And that's crazy too, because yeah, you

467
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 2: go back to the Patrick Mahomes draft. So the Chiefs

468
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 2: jumped up in twenty seventeen from twenty seventh overall to

469
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 2: tenth overall to get Mahomes, and the Bills got a

470
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 2: good corner. They got Tradevius White, sure, but still out

471
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: the Chiefs got my home. Yeah, so you've got that

472
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: history there, and uh yeah, the Chiefs get a receiver

473
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 2: on top of it, Xavier Worthy, who has game breaking speed,

474
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 2: and uh, you trade out of the first round. You

475
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 2: eventually get a wide receiver and Keon Coleman, who's a

476
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 2: good player, but.

477
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: I like that pick too.

478
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 3: I thought the receivers at the end of the first

479
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 3: round were all really perfect fits.

480
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: I really did.

481
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 2: He's just not dynamic though, he's He's more of what

482
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: we would call a possession receiver. Yeah, and that's not

483
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 2: necessarily a bad thing, but it doesn't seem like you

484
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: have your number one receiver yet, you know, if you're

485
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 2: Buffalo and so that's that's rough right there. Hey, we

486
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 2: got to get to failed ex expeeriments right around the

487
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,719
Speaker 2: corner first. Though not a field experiment whatsoever. This is

488
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 2: a great experiment that came through in winning fashion. He

489
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: goes by the name of Isaac blowing crown I low

490
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: with the latest.

491
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 3: You know.

492
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 6: Another great experiment moments ago the coining of the phrase

493
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 6: wackad City wacka.

494
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: Do city in reference magic city, in reference.

495
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 6: To the Atlanta Falcons. I really like that. I think

496
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 6: we're going to mark that down for when the schedule

497
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 6: comes out, when the season begins. And yesterday the Wackado falcons.

498
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: U's nest flying through the cuckoo's nest.

499
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,479
Speaker 7: The Cuckoo's nest got an Academy Award out of that one.

500
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 7: My Jack Nicholson impression needs a lot of rust, not

501
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 7: having a lot of my Jack Nicholson impression has a

502
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 7: lot of rust, unlike Anthony Edwards because on Friday Night,

503
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 7: in Game three of the NBA Playoffs, the timberwolvest Are

Speaker 6: Giannis Antetakumpo due to a strained left calf. Damian Lillard

514
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 6: aggravated an achilles tendon injury late in the fourth quarter.

540
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: so I low let off the update with some of

541
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: these basketball scores. Oh yeah, and man, the Suns. That

542
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 2: was the nightcap. Suns just get bull dozed. They lose

543
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: by seventeen points at home when they went into the

544
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 2: game down oh two in the series. Right, like, this

545
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: is your season on the line. You're at home, it's

546
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: go time. What can you do? And you're trailing at halftime?

547
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 2: And so third quarter this is it, right, this is

548
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 2: your season on the line. What are you gonna be

549
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 2: able to do? They get outscored thirty six to twenty

550
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: wow in the third quarter, and they end up losing

551
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 2: the game by seventeen points. It's not even close. And

552
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 2: so this is an epic failed experiment where they go

553
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 2: all in. They get kd to go along with Devin Booker,

554
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 2: you add some Bradley Beal. It's Bo Benson said off

555
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 2: the air a few minutes ago. They don't have a

556
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 2: draft pick until, like, you know, like they went all in.

557
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: It might be twenty thirty you get a first.

558
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: I like the Rams of the NFL.

559
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, you had to go back to twenty

560
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 2: sixteen with the Rams for a first round pick. You're

561
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 2: gonna get that stat years from now when the Sun's

562
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 2: actually picking the first round and they're gonna be one

563
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 2: and done. And they might be one and done after

564
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: getting swept in the first round epic failed experiment there

565
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 2: in Phoenix.

566
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think I'll look at it from the

567
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 3: positive light. Minnesota really took that, like they they learned

568
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 3: a lot from last year's playoff failure. And I like

569
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 3: that this Minnesota team is very dangerous, Like we have

570
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 3: not been talking about them enough, I think, and we

571
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 3: will be over the next few weeks as this postseason

572
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 3: continues to evolve. I don't know, like the KD stuff,

573
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 3: Like it seems like he kind of sold his soul

574
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 3: with the Nets and that was kind of their last

575
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 3: real chance, And I don't know if there's gonna be

576
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 3: another run for it, Like if he can't carry this

577
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 3: group of players that is arguably the most talented group

578
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 3: he's played with outside of that Golden State.

579
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: Contingent, I don't know.

580
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 3: I just I don't know if there's another group that, like,

581
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 3: unless he joins a super team as kind of the

582
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 3: third wheel, so to say. I just don't know if

583
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: he can carry a team anymore, because really this team

584
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 3: was perfectly made for him to carry. Like he had

585
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 3: the point guard and Booker, he had the secondary scorer

586
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: in Beal didn't have the big man, but that's not

587
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 3: as important in today's NBA. You had a big three,

588
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 3: a legit big thory. I mean, Bradley Beal was a

589
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 3: number one. I know we've had our issues betting the

590
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 3: prop market with him, but talent aside, like the dudes,

591
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 3: like a number one score dropped like fifty yeah, like

592
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 3: a crazy run with the Wizards. And Devin Booker is

593
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 3: an all star, high level point guard that has changed

594
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 3: his game. He was a little more of a score

595
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 3: has changed his game to more of an assist guy.

596
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: It was ready made for Phoenix to make a run.

597
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 3: And if they can't do it with this group, I

598
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 3: don't know if there is a group left that KD

599
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 3: can carry over the mountain, like he might have to

600
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 3: be a secondary piece for.

601
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: The rest of his career down the stretcher.

602
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 5: Man.

603
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's crazy that right.

604
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 2: If you win a series or two and you're losing

605
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 2: the conference finals, that's that's different. If you go up

606
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: against Jokich and Denver and you lose. Okay, if it's

607
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: later in the playoffs, fine, but man, round one, the

608
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 2: rough look and the Clippers also, Man, you look at

609
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 2: them last night and they lose to Dallas in Game three.

610
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 2: They're trailing in that series two games to one, and

611
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard, I mean, he's trying to do what he can.

612
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 2: He's got this knee injury and he's trying to gut

613
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,239
Speaker 2: it out. But it's night and day. They didn't have

614
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,479
Speaker 2: Kawhi in Game one and the Clippers looked great and

615
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: won that game. He's been back the last two games

616
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 2: and man, especially last night, he didn't do anything. He's

617
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 2: nine points, four of seven from the field. Paul George

618
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: seven points, three of eleven shooting like that's the fewest

619
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: combined points in twenty six playoff games together for Kawhi

620
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 2: Leonard and Paul George. Westbrook had one point and one ejection.

621
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: It's just a calamity all the way around. Now they're

622
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: down to one in the series. It's possible they somehow

623
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 2: pull that out, but they're going nowhere. This is absolutely

624
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: a failed experiment there also, and man, it's think about

625
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 2: that in the NBA, where some of these teams where

626
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: they make these power moves and initially you're like, whoa Clippers,

627
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 2: They've got Kawhi and Paul George or the Sons. They've

628
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 2: got Katie Booker and Bradley Beal and you're looking right

629
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 2: at both of them probably being one and done. It's

630
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: just it's shocking to see the results, not even close

631
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: to what a lot of people thought initially when those

632
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: moves were made.

633
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Clippers have a different situation, I think because

634
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 3: of just the the injuries that have followed Kawhi. It

635
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,959
Speaker 3: just it's felt like a dark cloud has kind of

636
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 3: just been following them around all year, and it's just

637
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 3: like you're waiting for that moment where you finally get

638
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 3: the oh, okay, Kawhi's back, let's see it, and then

639
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 3: it's like, Yeah, it is.

640
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: Hard, and I think I forget.

641
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,239
Speaker 3: There was someone on the network that brought this up

642
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: on a show early this week, and I agreed to

643
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: one hundred percent. It is hard to flip the switch

644
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 3: in the NBA playoffs, like Kawhi has not played a

645
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 3: whole lot of games this year at a high level,

646
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 3: Like he has been in and out, and that's been

647
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 3: the story of his career over the last let's say,

648
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 3: five years since the Toronto stuff.

649
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: It is hard to just flip the switch in the

650
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: playoffs and say, yep, all right.

651
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 3: Let's do it, especially when you've got kind of like

652
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 3: the island of misfit toys around you. Paul George Russell Westbrook.

653
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 3: I like the Zubac k He's been fantastic. His prop

654
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 3: numbers have been mislined the whole series, hammered the over

655
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 3: pr last night. It's been a money maker in the

656
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 3: postseason so far. That's the one guy that's kind of

657
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,479
Speaker 3: overachieving what we've seen so far because he's not like

658
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 3: an absurd talent, but he is playing really well in

659
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 3: the middle there. And I do think the Clippers have

660
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 3: an edge in the paint because Luka Kana wants to

661
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 3: be outside. I think Zubach will bang a little bit

662
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 3: and you know, the Clippers. I do think the Mavericks

663
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 3: don't have as much size in the middle, and maybe

664
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 3: they should exploit that matchup more.

665
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, they need more out.

666
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 3: Of George and Kawhi, and it's hard to get more

667
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 3: out of them. I mean, these guys have been through

668
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 3: the Ringer man. Like I was looking back at Paul

669
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 3: George's numbers. This dude was playing basketball at a very

670
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 3: high level a long time ago, and it is hard

671
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 3: to keep that level for over a decade.

672
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: He's been through a lot of gruesome injuries.

673
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 3: We know about the Kawhi stuff. Like you bring these

674
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 3: guys together and you throw them out. There is this

675
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 3: kind of like mismash. Like I don't know, if you're

676
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 3: a guy on Thanksgiving, Brian, do you mix your food

677
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 3: together or do you separate everything?

678
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 2: I separate stuff now.

679
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so these guys are all mixed together and mashed together,

680
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 3: and you wouldn't like that concoction very much.

681
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 2: No, No, it's that's the thing is. It's a reminder

682
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 2: again where it's not just the amount of talent that

683
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 2: you have, it's how the talent fits together. There have

684
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 2: been Olympic teams, like Olympic basketball teams for the US

685
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: where it's nothing but talent, but it didn't fit together

686
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 2: very well. It's the same thing with the Suns or Clippers,

687
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 2: whoever you're talking about. It's got to fit. So I mean,

688
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: you look at say, the Nuggets are a great example.

689
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: They've got talent, perfect example, but it fits together so

690
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 2: well so well, so not always the case.

691
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 3: And then you got the Lakers on the other side.

692
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 2: All right, right around the corner here we get to

693
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: the parlay platter. Jared Smith has been scorching hot. We'll

694
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 2: see if the fireways continue. Also, man, there's gonna be

695
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 2: some fire for me with some listeners that don't know

696
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 2: how to listen, you know what I mean. We gotta

697
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 2: we gotta get a better description for listeners, you know

698
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: what I mean, Jared, Because some listen, some don't.

699
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: So maybe we'll active and inactive listeners.

700
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like it's like earwax ear listeners, you know

701
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 2: what I mean, They're just they can't quite hear. But

702
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 2: it's something like, so we'll do a two for one

703
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 2: little combo platter. I crush listeners that don't know how

704
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 2: to listen. Jared Smith earns you money. That's right around

705
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 2: the corner. It's Fox Sports Saturday right here on Fox

706
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. It's Fox Sports Saturday here on Fox Sports Radio.

707
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 2: Before we get to the parlay platter over here, I

708
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 2: have to I don't know if these are trolls or

709
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 2: just listeners who don't know how to listen here, Jared, But.

710
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's going on with I didn't see any tweets yet.

711
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: Got something from Holden cheesehead all says Brian. No, just

712
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 2: called Kirk Cousins Kurt over a half dozen time, a

713
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 2: half dozen time on Saturday morning Fox Sports Radio. I

714
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 2: know there's a typo right there, Jared is time.

715
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: So you're gonna take the highro though, not mention that?

716
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 2: No, no, yeah, yeah, you lose credibility, Brian, though, when

717
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: you don't even know the players' names hashtag NFL Draft

718
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: hash time.

719
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: I didn't notice that Kirk. I didn't hear Kurt.

720
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 2: Well, he's the thing. I know, it's Kirk. Granted I

721
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 2: might speak fast from time to time, and it sounds

722
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 2: like I kind of lazily run through it. We have

723
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 2: some audio from the first segment, so let's let's do

724
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 2: a little let's do a little ear test, if you will,

725
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 2: if you could fire that up for us, let's hear

726
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 2: it one or the other man, that one or the

727
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 2: other Falcons where you knew Pennix Junior would be there

728
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 2: at eight overall, So if you're gonna take him, why

729
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: did you sign Kirk Cousins? Yeah, and if you signed

730
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins, why did you draft Michael Pennix Junior. I

731
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: just don't get it. This was the seven to ten

732
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 2: football team last year who made a big splash by

733
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 2: getting Kirk Cousins.

734
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: There you go, you said, Kirk, Yeah, so same thing.

735
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: I got the mid West accent. There.

736
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 3: I understand why people maybe, and it's early, I don't

737
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 3: know clean the airwaks out though.

738
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 2: Kirk. Yeah, I even't hit me up. He's crushing me, Kirk,

739
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 2: Brian Kirk.

740
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, call him Kirky, Kirky pie.

741
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 2: I'll just say this and I'll take the high road, Jared.

742
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 2: I would say, uh, listen better, jackasses, listen better.

743
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: Okay, that at least they're listening. Honestly, that's the best.

744
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 3: And I'd speeled this way too, because we get a

745
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 3: lot of heat anytime I get a pick wrong. Even

746
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 3: when I get a pick right, sometimes I get trolls.

747
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 3: At least they're paying attention. Yeah, at least they're looking

748
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 3: at us. At least they're invested right there.

749
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, we've got money to make over here. Let's

750
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 2: get to the parley platter, shall we. Let's do what

751
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 2: check this out?

752
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 4: Parlay flatter.

753
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 2: But I don't know if I enunciated parlay platt plat. Okay, Jared,

754
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 2: what do you have for us, buddy?

755
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: Well, it is a platter, right, so let's serve it up.

756
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 3: I think this is a very fitting a pick for

757
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 3: considering the name of the segment. So I was watching.

758
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 3: I've been paying attention to this, to the Lakers Nugget

759
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 3: series very closely. It's I think it's been it's been

760
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 3: a one sided series, I would say thus far, but

761
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 3: the Lakers have had a couple of moments, but not

762
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 3: able to get over the hump. However, I think Lebron

763
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 3: James is still playing it at about the highest level

764
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 3: he could possibly play at.

765
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: And we're gonna put him with.

766
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 3: Our pound Nikola Jokic in a two team, same game

767
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 3: parlay tonight. Both guys the star players. They're gonna be

768
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 3: on the floor for a million minutes tonight. Let's hope

769
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 3: it's not a hlacious blowout, but we will put Jokic

770
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 3: and Lebron James each to record ten or more assists. Now,

771
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 3: they both have kind of been hovering around this number

772
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 3: the entire series. Lebron got there thinking one game, Jokic

773
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 3: got there in one game, and they both got nine

774
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 3: in another game. Their regular line for this game is

775
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 3: eight and a half. I would bet the over on

776
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 3: both of those as well, but just for the sake

777
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 3: of the parlay, we will sell one assist and we

778
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 3: will put Jokic and Lebron to reach the uple digit

779
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 3: dime plateau. Not again, you only need those two things

780
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 3: to happen, and this is a.

781
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: Pretty good payout.

782
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 3: Plus three seventy five over at bet MGM are our

783
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 3: partners there, giving us a I think a pretty decent

784
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 3: again payout for what is only two events happening that

785
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 3: have been pretty much consistent the entire series so far.

786
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: Jokics so far eighty nine, averaging eighty nine.

787
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 3: Passes in the series, which is well above his season average,

788
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 3: which is about seventy five, and he had fifteen and

789
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 3: a half potential assists in the last two games. Whereas Lebron,

790
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 3: how about this the first three games of the series.

791
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 3: Now they've lost all three games, but eighteen, seventeen and

792
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 3: sixteen potential assists. So I think getting to ten tonight

793
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 3: for both guys. One of these guys is gonna have

794
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 3: a triple double. It's a matter of who, and it's

795
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 3: a matter of can they both get to double digitus is.

796
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: I think they both can, and I think plus three

797
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: seventy five is a decent day out to make it.

798
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: I like it.

799
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 8: Man.

800
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 2: You know, Jo Kic is an artist. He's unbelievable with

801
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 2: this pass, There's no doubt about that. And I also

802
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,479
Speaker 2: think D'Angelo Russell. This might sound strange, but the point

803
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 2: guard D'Angelo Russell.

804
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 1: Lebron passes to everybody.

805
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll even pass the D'Angelo for an assist here

806
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 2: and there. He was awful in game three, didn't hit

807
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 2: a shot. I think he'll be a lot better in

808
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 2: game four. So if that could be an assister too,

809
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 2: to get Lebron over the hump as well.

810
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think over eight and so I bet over

811
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 3: eight and a half on both guys solo.

812
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: But again, you're having a little fun with the parlay.

813
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 3: You throw them both together, you mash it up, and

814
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 3: you just again plus three seventy five to me, usually

815
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 3: that's like a three or four leg same game par

816
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 3: Like last week, we gave you the Bradley Beal stuff.

817
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 3: We needed three things to happen, and that's all we

818
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 3: got was plus three seventy five.

819
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 2: All right, Coming up, next more draft stuff, which rookies

820
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 2: and which veterans hit a home run with how the

821
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 2: draft is unfolded. Oh, good morning everybody. Hope you're having

822
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 2: a fantastic Saturday. A Rich Ornberger will reconvene with us

823
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: next week. Okay, get some work done with the I

824
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 2: think the old electricity over there and the Ornberger residents.

825
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 2: You know, gotta have all that working out.

826
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's important these days.

827
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, gotta have that for remote broadcasting. Kind of an essential.

828
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: So we will get back with Rich oh next week.

829
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 2: But Jared Smith, Brian know with you here today. I

830
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 2: thought this would be a good thing to do, Jared,

831
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:29,439
Speaker 2: Where we always look at the draft one way, where it's, hey,

832
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: which teams got the best players? And that's not necessarily

833
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 2: wrong at all, but I like to flip it around

834
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 2: a little bit as well and say, hey, which players

835
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 2: ended up with the best teams? Which players are in

836
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 2: the best environments. So if you start with the rookies

837
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 2: and then we'll eventually get to the veteran players, like

838
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 2: who struck gold in terms of who their new teammates are.

839
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins would not be on this list.

840
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: Kirk Kirk Kirk.

841
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 2: For anybody who can't listen. But let's start with the

842
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 2: rookies here. Which rookies ended up in great situations. At

843
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: the top of the list, I think it's JJ McCarthy.

844
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 2: Yeah right, we're looking at, Hey, what's JJ gonna do

845
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 2: for the Vikings? And that's fine, but look at the

846
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,439
Speaker 2: Vikings and what they're gonna be able to provide for him.

847
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 2: You've got Justin Jefferson, arguably the best receiver in football,

848
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 2: Jordan Addison, TJ. Hockinson, he comes back from the ACL

849
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 2: but he's a really, really good tight end. You got

850
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 2: a lot of talent around you in Minnesota. And then

851
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 2: you've got Kevin O'Connell as your head coach, who's great

852
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 2: at scheming things and really good play caller. You've got

853
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 2: a ton around you. I think JJ McCarthy going to

854
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 2: the Vikings that's a home run for him.

855
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: Could not agree more.

856
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 3: And then, oh, by the way, Dallas Turner, who a

857
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 3: lot of people thought was like the number one defensive.

858
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: Player in the draft, yeah at seventeen.

859
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 3: So they made two moves in this draft that add

860
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 3: to what is already a very reputable core. And I

861
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 3: think when you look at what McCarthy is the fit

862
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 3: in Minnesota, and there's Thorn Eiserman does a great job

863
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 3: for one of the local websites covering the Vikings has

864
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 3: been talking about this kid going to Minnesota and the

865
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 3: perfect fit for like the last three months, and I agree.

866
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 3: Like it is like styles make fights, right, we say

867
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 3: that all the time. We're talking about game breakdown games. Well,

868
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 3: styles make quarterbacks too, And I think Kevin O'Connell, the

869
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 3: style that JJ plays and the weapons around him, he

870
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 3: is going to get dropped in.

871
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna be the starter from

872
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: day one.

873
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 3: I think they want him to be, but they've got

874
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 3: Sam Darnold, and I think he's a guy that can

875
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 3: at least carry the load, kind of like Perset in

876
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 3: New England, where you're not looking at him long term.

877
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 3: But he's a veteran, he's been around the block, he's

878
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 3: played a lot of football, been through a lot of

879
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 3: ups and downs throughout his career. That's the guy you

880
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 3: want to kind of, you know, usher in a rookie

881
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 3: quarterback and to get him up to speed quickly.

882
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what that dynamic will be.

883
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 3: I haven't heard Sam talk about JJ yet, but it

884
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 3: was pretty obvious that Minnesota was going to take a

885
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 3: quarterback in this draft. It was just a matter of

886
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 3: when and how, and they ended up getting a guy.

887
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 3: And I'll be honest, I credit the Jets a lot.

888
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 3: The Jets had that tenth pick, they saw McCarty there

889
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 3: at ten, and Joe Douglas kind of pulled a you know,

890
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 3: a little rope adpte there. He probably called up Minnesota

891
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 3: and said, yeah, man.

892
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that want to come up

893
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 1: to ten. You guys really want this pick. You got mcarthy.

894
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 3: They knew the Vikings wanted McCarty like that was like

895
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:33,919
Speaker 3: the worst cup secret in the draft. So I think

896
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 3: the way it played out, not only for the Vikings

897
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 3: but also the Jets in that ten to eleven swap

898
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 3: was a really unique situation. But it also played out

899
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 3: I think that was like a mutually beneficial like the

900
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 3: Vikers like, sure, take whatever pick you want. We want

901
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 3: this McCarthy guy so bad, and so the Jets get

902
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 3: some benefit from it, and then oh, by the way,

903
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 3: the Vikings.

904
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 1: Get their man in the future.

905
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 3: And then still made moves a little later on with

906
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 3: seventeen taking Turner, so I think the Vikings with those

907
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 3: two picks in that that little mid range first round area,

908
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 3: getting the quarterback of the future and perhaps their next

909
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 3: edge rusher of the future was an absolute slam dunk.

910
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I would say somebody else from the first

911
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 2: round if you look at it from the player's standpoint, right,

912
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 2: So all these players that just got picked, We've got

913
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 2: one hundred players that have been picked through three rounds

914
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 2: so far. I would look at Xavier Worthy. So he

915
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 2: goes to the Chiefs, It's like, oh, cool, Mahomes is

916
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 2: my quarterback. I have a legitimate chance to hit the

917
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 2: ground running with Mahomes, you know. And they don't have

918
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 2: this true number one receiver. They just have a hodgepodge

919
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 2: of receivers over there. In casey, that's a great opportunity

920
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,479
Speaker 2: for Xavier Worthy. They trade up to get you, yeah, right,

921
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 2: so you are a target for them, and so they're

922
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 2: going to try to make it work and you get

923
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 2: Mahomes as your QB.

924
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: That's huge for him.

925
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 2: I also think if you flip it around and say

926
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:08,479
Speaker 2: the rookies that were just drafted, you know, who didn't

927
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 2: hit a home run, I would look at Malik Neighbors right,

928
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 2: So he could be really special out of LSU. But

929
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 2: he goes to the Giants, You've got Daniel Jones as

930
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 2: your quarterback. You compare it to the other two receivers

931
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 2: in the top ten, Marvin Harrison Junior goes over to

932
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 2: Arizona Kyler Murray over Daniel Jones all day, every day,

933
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 2: no doubt about it. And then also, I'd much rather

934
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 2: have Caleb Williams as a rookie QB as my guy

935
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 2: than Daniel Jones with the Giants, who's probably his last season.

936
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 2: He looks like he's probably gonna be on the way

937
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 2: out and he can't stay healthy either. It might not

938
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 2: just be Daniel Jones the wing you the ball. I

939
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 2: think that Malik Neighbors. I think he could be really

940
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 2: special for the Giants. They initially are not going to

941
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:56,919
Speaker 2: be special for him at all.

942
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 1: I agree.

943
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 3: I'll give you one more positive because this happened kind

944
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 3: of under the radar later in the first round, and

945
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a slam donk the Lions

946
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 3: taking the corner from Bama Arnold, and we've seen Holmes

947
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 3: the GM of Detroit really prioritize Alabama players recently.

948
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: They took branch last year, right.

949
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 3: Like, I think this is a team that is like

950
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 3: one or two really good defensive pieces away in the secondary.

951
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 3: I mean they were a breath away from beating the

952
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 3: Niners last year, right, Like, they're really close. And I

953
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 3: think that move really under the radar. Right Mitchell went first,

954
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 3: there was some smoke that maybe Arnold was the better corner.

955
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 3: Mitchell went first, but Mitchell went later than a lot

956
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 3: of people expected. Arnold going twenty fourth to Detroit, Like,

957
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 3: he is gonna be slotted in day one, perfect fit.

958
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 3: Aaron Glenn defensive coordinator is gonna play a ton of

959
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 3: bump and run.

960
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna be very physical with the line of scrimmage

961
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: with him.

962
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 3: So I like that pick a lot for Detroit, and

963
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 3: I think Arnold fits their scheme and he is gonna

964
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 3: I mean, the Lions are super Bowl ready right now,

965
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 3: and they got better on defense. I agree about Neighbor.

966
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 3: I'll give you another one that's kind of in that

967
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 3: same boat.

968
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: Now. I loved it because it made me a boatload

969
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: of money. But Brock Bowers to the Raiders, like, I

970
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 1: love this kid. He is an absolute rock star. But

971
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: Cardner Minch's throwing on the ball this year.

972
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 3: Where's the upside with Brock Bowers? If they were able

973
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,240
Speaker 3: to get one of the quarterbacks either in for agency

974
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:24,280
Speaker 3: or Kirk Cousins or somebody, and then add Bowers, Oh boy,

975
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 3: get ready because you got DeVante Adams and Brock back

976
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 3: like that could be really special. But I don't know

977
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 3: if that quarterback situation is a really good fit for what.

978
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: The Raiders are trying to do long term.

979
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 2: You know, one more from the prospects perspective, right the

980
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 2: rookies here, we've talked about the Falcons thing, and that's

981
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 2: not great for Kirk Cousins, right He's not gonna be

982
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 2: giddy about Michael Pennick junior when they could have gotten

983
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 2: somebody to help them right here, right now. But think

984
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 2: about this from Michael Pennock's junior's standpoint. I don't think

985
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 2: this is there's a home run for him at all.

986
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 2: He's gonna be sitting for who knows how long, two

987
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 2: three years potentially. I don't know about you, but if

988
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 2: I'm drafted in the top ten, I want to play

989
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 2: and I need to know the quarterback. We always talk

990
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,760
Speaker 2: about this, who's the quarterback who sat for a year

991
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 2: or two and then sucked. You know what I mean,

992
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:25,720
Speaker 2: because we only have these well Philip rivers. He sat

993
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 2: for a while to look at him, and then look

994
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 2: at this other quarterback, Jordan Love played really well last year.

995
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: He's sat.

996
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 2: And we make it sound like if you sit for

997
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 2: a year or two you're destined for greatness. To have

998
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 2: to be a few examples where that's not the case.

999
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 2: But if I'm Penix junior, I want to play. And

1000
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,240
Speaker 2: if it's not my rookie year, okay, but we're talking

1001
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 2: year two, year three, potentially, no, thank you. I would

1002
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 2: want no part of Atlanta if I'm Pennix Junior or

1003
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 2: a rookie quarterback.

1004
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1005
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 3: And the sad thing is like, let's just close our

1006
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 3: eyes for a minute and pretend the Falcons didn't sign

1007
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins. So let's let's do let's let's play this

1008
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 3: thought exercise, right, and they draft Pennis Junior. How do

1009
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 3: you feel about the pick? Then, just if it's there's no,

1010
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 3: there's no Kirk is gone. He's still in Minnesota. He's

1011
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 3: somewhere else.

1012
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1013
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 3: He's you know, sipping Mike ties on the beach somewhere yeah,

1014
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 3: and they draft Michael Pennix Like sight unseen, How do

1015
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 3: you feel about Penix?

1016
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: Then I still feel like it's a reach.

1017
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 2: Sure, and it could still work out, but I would absolutely,

1018
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 2: absolutely feel like it was a reach. Where Wow, top ten. Okay,

1019
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 2: maybe we thought he would fall out of the first

1020
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:35,720
Speaker 2: round and a half was total.

1021
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 3: I mean he took some steam late. Like all the quarterbacks,

1022
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 3: it was obvious to me the day of the draft

1023
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 3: all six would go in the first round based on

1024
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 3: the market. I just didn't think they'd go as high

1025
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:45,919
Speaker 3: as they did.

1026
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would still think it's a reach. But man,

1027
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 2: when you do have Kirk cousins Kirk Kirk right, you do.

1028
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 3: You remember the scene in Step Brothers he's saying Pam

1029
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:03,959
Speaker 3: or Pam, Pam pam. Yeah.

1030
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 2: One other thing to look at Look at it from

1031
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 2: the veterans standpoint. Okay, look at all the veteran players

1032
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 2: in the NFL who hit a home run and who didn't.

1033
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 2: I think you just stay in the top ten. There

1034
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 2: was a lot of talk about the Giants drafting a quarterback.

1035
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 2: So think about Daniel Jones, who's coming off of injury,

1036
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 2: who could have been replaced, and instead they go Moleak neighbors.

1037
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 2: They get a stud wide receiver that's a home run

1038
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 2: for Daniel Jones and of course the obvious for Kirk

1039
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 2: Kirk Kirk Cousins. You know, they get Michael Pennock Junior

1040
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 2: and don't get him some help initially, so polar opposites.

1041
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones gets major help, Kirk Cousins gets no immediate

1042
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 2: help with the backup.

1043
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: Quarterback Kyler Murray, right, I mean, huge.

1044
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 2: Huge home run for him. Yes, And.

1045
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 3: I wish I could like catalog every take I've had

1046
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 3: on this show and like just recall them immediately, because

1047
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 3: I feel like I was very negative against the Cardinals

1048
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 3: going in the last year, and I thought.

1049
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I'm Kyler Murray rehabbing that injury.

1050
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 3: I'm taking it really slow. Because the Arizona Cardinals, I

1051
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 3: don't know what their future like, they just traded, like

1052
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 3: at that time, they had traded their top five pick

1053
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 3: to Houston, right, and then Houston got back up and

1054
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 3: took Will Anderson third. So it was like, what's the

1055
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 3: future here in Arizona? And I give Kyler Murray a

1056
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,879
Speaker 3: boatload of credit everything I said bad about you, Kyler,

1057
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 3: You're not listening. But if you are, you handled that

1058
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 3: situation last year, your team traded out of the of

1059
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 3: the top five, right, had a chance to take someone

1060
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 3: to help you, and you decided to, you know, play

1061
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 3: the long game, which I understand that, and then you're

1062
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 3: rehabbing the injury and Arizona start. I mean, it was brutal,

1063
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 3: but then they kind of played a little better, right,

1064
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 3: like they showed some fight. And I'll be honest, I

1065
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:59,439
Speaker 3: really I really liked the head coach and the way

1066
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 3: that era Zona handled the back of that season. Right.

1067
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon's a defensive coach. You didn't know what they

1068
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 1: were gonna get offensively.

1069
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 3: But Kyler Murray came in and looked fantastic the last

1070
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,439
Speaker 3: month or you know, six eight weeks of the year,

1071
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 3: and they rewarded him by I think taking the best

1072
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 3: maybe generational kind of talent there with Marvin Harrison Junior.

1073
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 3: So I think both Frankly, I think both Kyler Murray

1074
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 3: and Justin Herbert taking the best tackle in the draft

1075
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,839
Speaker 3: both feel a little right little when they put their

1076
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 3: head down to rest on Thursday night, they probably felt

1077
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:31,800
Speaker 3: a little better about their situation.

1078
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And it's weird right where if you go

1079
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 2: back to the breck Brock Bauers situation, if you look

1080
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 2: at it from Michael Mayer's standpoint, m the tight end

1081
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 2: right like on a Notre Dame, and you gotta be

1082
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 2: looking at this like, oh wow, we got another tight end.

1083
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's a real tight end, like

1084
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 3: he gives me Kelsey vibes like they're gonna line him

1085
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 3: up at h back. He might even play running back

1086
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 3: like I think Bower is gonna be like a like

1087
00:53:58,160 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 3: a Swiss army knife.

1088
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you good. I don't know if you're trying

1089
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 2: to do a Patriots thing with a that had worked

1090
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 2: out great until well, you know, untill it didn't right,

1091
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 2: But for a while it was really good. How about

1092
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 2: this nugget last thing I'll leave you with. So with

1093
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy going to the Vikings home run for him,

1094
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 2: a lot of talent there and Kevin O'Connell that that's

1095
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 2: a really good environment for JJ McCarthy, this stat blows

1096
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 2: my mind, Jared. The Vikings they still finished tenth last

1097
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 2: season in yards per play. Wow, they didn't have Kirk

1098
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins for ten games. They didn't have Justin Jefferson

1099
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 2: for eight games, they still were tenth and yards per

1100
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:41,720
Speaker 2: play without those guys.

1101
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: Guys. Kevin O'Connell's a really good coach.

1102
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 3: We need to get to that point where he is

1103
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 3: among the top offensive minds in our sport, where we

1104
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 3: view him in that way because man the web and

1105
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 3: you could just tell the way they designed the team,

1106
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 3: like they traded in division for a tight like that

1107
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 3: never happens, and he's been fantastic. Obviously, Detroit is okay,

1108
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 3: they got Sam Lporter. They're not crying about it. But

1109
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,879
Speaker 3: the way that you utilize the weapons sometimes is more

1110
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 3: important than actually having the guys on your team. And

1111
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 3: for a tight end Indivision to come switch midstream like

1112
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 3: that and to have the production that he.

1113
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 1: Did without a healthy quarterback.

1114
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 3: And then oh, by the way, justin Jefferson and Jordan Madison,

1115
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 3: who I think, you know, one two punch maybe the

1116
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 3: best in the league. Like, there is a really interesting

1117
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 3: thing bruin in Minnesota if McCarthy can hit the ground running.

1118
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 2: Man, and that's a big if. Yeah, But he's got

1119
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 2: a lot of talent around him, a lot to work

1120
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 2: with right there. Hey, Thoroughbred Racing has a new Independent

1127
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 2: being wrong, can you at least live with your reasoning?

1128
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 2: We'll apply that to the biggest named NFL prospect. Right

1129
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 2: around the corner. It is Fox Sports Saturday, right here

1130
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. It is Fox Sports Saturday, right

1131
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Radio. Man, So, there was some

1132
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 2: harsh criticisms of New Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. And we've

1133
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 2: all seen some of the things. We've all heard some

1134
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 2: of the things, but there was one thing in particular here, Jared,

1135
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 2: that got me thinking of this discussion we've been having

1136
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 2: a little bit differently. Okay, So this was on the

1137
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 2: Pablo Tory Finds Out podcast, and there is an NFL

1138
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 2: scout that is quoted when he's talking about Caleb Williams crying.

1139
00:56:57,719 --> 00:56:57,879
Speaker 1: Right.

1140
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 2: This was after the Washington game. And just bear with

1141
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 2: me for a second, because this comment in particular, I

1142
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 2: was like, wow, it made me think of things differently.

1143
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 2: So the scout said, raw emotion is great, but Caleb's

1144
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,760
Speaker 2: thing that was ridiculous to me. That threw up major

1145
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 2: red flags. I will tell you that scares the bleep

1146
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 2: out of a lot of NFL teams too. That's the quote. Now,

1147
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 2: this is where I thought of it differently. Because we've

1148
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 2: talked about the crying thing. We don't think it's a

1149
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 2: big deal at all. But how I thought about it differently,

1150
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 2: it made me think of evaluations that I got wrong

1151
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 2: in the past. But I can still live with the reasoning,

1152
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. That's the question. If your

1153
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 2: evaluation ends up being wrong, can you at least still

1154
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 2: live with the reasoning? Or I'll give you a couple

1155
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 2: of examples.

1156
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 3: C J.

1157
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 2: Stroud. I had major doubts about c. J. Stroud coming

1158
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 2: out of Ohio State, mostly because of the talent he

1159
00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 2: had around him there. You know, he had dudes that

1160
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 2: are first round picks all over the place. He had

1161
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jigba. He had Marvin Harrison Junior. He

1162
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 2: had what like Chris Olave and all these dudes. Right,

1163
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson. Those were first round picks, like one after

1164
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 2: another a couple of years ago. They were all CJ.

1165
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 2: Stroud's teammates, and I'm like, he's just gonna hit the

1166
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 2: ground running with Tank Dell. Okay, Like I didn't buy it,

1167
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 2: and that was dead wrong, but I can at least

1168
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 2: live with that reasoning. Same thing with Jordan Love. Jordan Love,

1169
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 2: I looked at it and I said, the guy has

1170
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 2: thrown eighty three passes in the NFL. That's what he

1171
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 2: had heading into last season. I'm like an inexperienced guy

1172
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 2: throwing to nothing but inexperienced wide receivers and tight ends.

1173
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 2: I don't expect them to hit the ground running. That

1174
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 2: was dead wrong, but I can live with the reasoning.

1175
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 2: So the point is, what if Caleb Willilliams does pan

1176
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 2: out for the Bears. Let's say he's really good. Can

1177
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 2: you live with your reasoning if you're like, yeah, I

1178
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 2: kind of doubted him because he cried after a loss. Like,

1179
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 2: I don't think that you can stand by that reasoning

1180
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 2: if he pans out and your evaluation is wrong. Listen,

1181
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 2: evaluations are wrong.

1182
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: But some are really wrong.

1183
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,919
Speaker 2: Like the reasoning is shoddy to begin with and I think, well,

1184
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 2: Cayleb Williams cright after a game. I think that reasoning

1185
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 2: is really really bad, and it's just gonna look worse

1186
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 2: if he does pan out.

1187
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of closed minded people that

1188
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 3: are scouts in the NFL. I think that the take

1189
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 3: that I saw, and I saw it come out this week,

1190
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 3: and I saw the you know, the discourse surrounding it,

1191
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 3: I think he was called They called him Prince. They

1192
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 3: said he's a weird kid. One GM told me if

1193
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 3: it's like if Prince played quarterback, Okay, Like, Prince to

1194
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 3: me is like one of the most iconic performers and

1195
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 3: entertainers of our time.

1196
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know if right, Like.

1197
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 3: Are we judging Prince as a person or are we

1198
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 3: judging him for his entertainment accolades in the music industry?

1199
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 3: Like how are we judging Caleb Williams. I understand that

1200
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 3: you have to be a quality human. You have to

1201
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 3: do your job, you have to go to work, punch

1202
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 3: the clock, know the playbook, be a leader, all those things.

1203
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 3: Take off the field, you know, internal mental fortitude to do.

1204
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: But Caleb's done all those things.

1205
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 3: Like I think if you look at the situation. It's

1206
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 3: like you're you're judging this kid because of his personality,

1207
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 3: where his personality has only shown emotion and passion for the.

1208
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: Sport that he plays.

1209
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 3: Now, you might not like how he expresses that emotion passion,

1210
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 3: But this scout's probably thirty or forty years older than

1211
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 3: Kayleb Williams. People need to realize. And I struggle with

1212
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 3: this too. Sometimes it helps that I have three very

1213
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 3: young nieces and nephews to kind of bring me back

1214
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 3: to reality. The world has evolved since whenever this scout,

1215
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 3: And he's a former scout by the way, so he's

1216
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 3: not a current scout. He don't even have the job

1217
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 3: right now. Maybe that's an interesting one, but that, to

1218
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 3: me is the part of this that bothers me. You

1219
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 3: are judging this kid for his personality. By the way,

1220
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 3: we don't get to choose our personalities. They just exist

1221
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 3: inside of us. There are you know, subconscious So judge

1222
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 3: him for how he handles himself on the field, how

1223
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 3: he handles himself with the coaching staff.

1224
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 1: With the players.

1225
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 3: Does he upset his teammates, No, he's just maybe a

1226
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 3: little quirky, Like, what are we judging him? On, Like,

1227
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 3: that's the part that really bothers me. This is a

1228
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 3: strictly personal judgment of Caleb Williams. Now, if he doesn't

1229
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 3: pan out because the weirdness is starting to affect his teammates,

1230
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 3: well that's different. But right now you're just saying, yeah,

1231
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 3: it's a little weird, let's not draft him first overall,

1232
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 3: Like that makes no sense.

1233
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense. I'll give you a couple

1234
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 2: of dudes who are quirky and successful. Jim Harbaugh. Yeah,

1235
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh.

1236
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 1: Is a weirdo.

1237
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 2: You know, he's a different it's the nervous bird. Yeah, right, weird.

1238
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 2: I'll never forget. After they beat Washington in the National

1239
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 2: Championship game, he's being interviewed on the field and confetti

1240
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 2: is just raining down and he's like, all these pieces

1241
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 2: of confetti they tell a story and no, Jim, it's

1242
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 2: just confetti. Man, what are you talking about. There's another

1243
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 2: guy who's weird, Aaron Rodgers. But guess what, he's a

1244
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 2: freaking baller, you know what I mean. It's this idea

1245
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 2: that what you can't be weird and successful at the

1246
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 2: same time. Okay, Caleb Williams does a few things that

1247
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 2: some people might look as well, that's different or that's

1248
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 2: that's I don't care. All I care about is is

1249
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 2: he getting the job done on the field?

1250
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 1: Yep.

1251
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 2: And as long as anything that's eccentric doesn't get in

1252
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 2: the way of winning or anything like that.

1253
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: Who cares.

1254
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 2: Who cares if the guy does things differently than you do.

1255
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 2: I just think it's a dumb reason to dismiss the guy.

1256
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 2: And there was a lot of that leading up to

1257
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 2: the draft, and there's only going to be more until

1258
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 2: he proves those people wrong by producing.

1259
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 3: Frankly that like all the people that have doubted me

1260
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 3: and naysayed me publicly. Of all, it's fuel. It's fuel,

1261
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 3: and I'm sure Caleb will use it as fuel. But

1262
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 3: we don't have the ability to go back in time

1263
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 3: and change things in the past. We have the ability

1264
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 3: to change things in the future, and unfortunately, we live

1265
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 3: in a really judgmental society like it is the most

1266
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 3: and you.

1267
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: Know, we're a blame.

1268
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 3: We're on the radio and talking about it every week,

1269
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 3: but that's our jobs and it is It's really hard

1270
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 3: to look at today's society and to compare it to

1271
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 3: anything that took place when and Granted, I don't know

1272
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 3: who this scout is. I'm assuming he's above the age

1273
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 3: of forty. Let's just make a safe barrier. I would

1274
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 3: say fifty may be safer two. But let's say he's

1275
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 3: in his forties or his fifties. So he grew up

1276
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 3: in the eighties and the nineties, like I did, right

1277
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 3: that to me, the society was so different back then.

1278
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 3: You are only comparing your like you're judging Kleb Williams

1279
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 3: off of your upbringing, Like to me, he's weird. Well

1280
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 3: maybe to someone else he's not weird. Like, I think

1281
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 3: the judgment of a personality is the worst possible thing

1282
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 3: you can do to frame someone's professional acumen. I have

1283
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 3: the ability to take my personality and hit pause on

1284
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 3: it when I do my job, Like that's called professionalism.

1285
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 3: Like sometimes it seeps through at times and you get

1286
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 3: a good glimpse of who I am on the air,

1287
01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 3: But there are times when you just have to your job.

1288
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 3: And I think that is the part that bothers me

1289
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 3: about this take. You are judging him based off of

1290
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 3: his personality, and you didn't mention about the times that

1291
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 3: maybe he toned down some of his weirdness. To make

1292
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 3: sure the team did what they needed to do right,

1293
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 3: whatever the vibe was that day, whatever the practice, whatever

1294
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 3: the accomplishment, the obstacle they had to overcome.

1295
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 1: So to me, this is like.

1296
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 3: The worst possible way to judge a kid, and it's

1297
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 3: unfortunate that this created.

1298
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: So much team.

1299
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 2: You know, I'll say this real fast because I just

1300
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 2: thought of another guy who's some would view him as

1301
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 2: a little bit dif weird, certainly emotional, Odell Beckham Junior. Right,

1302
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 2: And think about this. The point I'm trying to make

1303
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 2: is I would rather have a dude who's emotional because

1304
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 2: he cares right. They just kind of like unplugged in

1305
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 2: Jay Cutler esque, you know, where he's just kind of like,

1306
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 2: I'd rather have a dude like Odell Beckham Junior. And

1307
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 2: sometimes the emotion got in his way. Yeah, sometimes he

1308
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 2: got attacked by a kicking net, you know what I mean,

1309
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 2: Like sometimes that got in his way. But he was

1310
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 2: a flat out baller early in his career when the

1311
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 2: injuries didn't play a part, and a lot of that

1312
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,760
Speaker 2: fuel was how much he cared, right, Like he was

1313
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 2: an emotional guy, but he was absolutely invested and cared

1314
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 2: a ton I would rather have Caleb Williams crying after

1315
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 2: a game because he cares so much than just unplugged

1316
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 2: and unfazed, like what do I care. I'm gonna be

1317
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 2: making thirty million dollars pretty soon in the NFL, like

1318
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 2: we lost the Washington or big deal. I think that's

1319
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 2: actually a strength. So it's a strange conversation. But long

1320
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 2: story short, I'd rather have a guy that's invested and

1321
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 2: cares than a guy that doesn't. Someone who cares a

1322
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 2: ton about our general wellbeing and yours the maven of information,

1323
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 2: mister Isaac Loewenkron, what's going on?

1324
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 6: I love the general well being of the Phoenix Suns

1325
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 6: and their fans. Not great at this am because of

1326
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 6: what happened in Game three of the NBA Playoffs on

1327
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 6: Friday night, as Anthony Edwards at the Minnesota Timberwolves scored

1328
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,760

1330
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 6: Rudy Gobert and Carl Anthony Towns both with double doubles.

1331
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 6: Earlier Friday night, the Indiana Pacers in overtime defeated the

1332

1333
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 6: two games to one lead. Tyrese Halliburton the game winning

1334
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 6: three point play with one point six left at overtime,

1335
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,960

1336
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 6: assist triple double. The Bucks played without giannis on Tedtacunpo

1337
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 6: because of a strained left calf, and Damian Lillard aggravated

1338
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 6: an achilles tendon injury late in the fourth quarter. Also

1339
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:53,600

1345

Speaker 6: of Famer John Miller at the mic on canbr.

1346
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 1: Here's the set, the one one pitch.

1347
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:18,799

Speaker 1: Man.

1360
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 2: Guess who had money on the the Pirates yesterday as well?

1361
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 2: That would be me. They had the bases loaded in

1362
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:07,639
Speaker 2: the top of the ninth inning and a scoreless game

1363
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 2: there Jared, and it's your old one two three double

1364
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 2: play just grinded out to the picture right there that sucked.

1365
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 2: And then the bottom of the ninth that was the

1366
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 2: three run homer that Isaac lohen crun just played for

1367

Speaker 2: you right there and crystal clear audio and uh.

1368
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: Probably wanted to tune out for that one.

1369
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, actually, it's yeah, that's exactly what I was doing.

1370
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: Isn't that the best? When you lose like that?

1371
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 3: That's like the worst part about sometimes our business when

1372
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,640
Speaker 3: we do the betting thing, and then I have to

1373
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:41,719
Speaker 3: turn on the highlights, because you know, I watch highlights

1374
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:44,799
Speaker 3: of stuff, and then it's the pervasive media that highlights

1375
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 3: are where things will just pop up on your feed,

1376
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 3: like the bad beat that just happened. Yeah, you have

1377
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:52,600
Speaker 3: to relive that awful moment that just took hundreds of

1378
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 3: dollars from you. But here it is, it's awesome, a

1379
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 3: million exclamation points.

1380
01:09:56,640 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 2: You know what I hate the most. I wish my

1381
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 2: reaction wasn't this way, But I really think it's human nature,

1382
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 2: you know, and a lot of people can relate to this.

1383
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 2: If you have a terrible day, nothing goes right. Let's

1384
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 2: say you're betting on the Pirates and the Suns last

1385
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 2: night and it just all goes the hell. You know.

1386
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 2: It sucks when someone is like, I had an amazing

1387
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 2: day of gambling and you're like, I've probably done that.

1388
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 2: If you right, like, it'd be like you just broke up.

1389
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 2: You don't know where your life is heading. And someone

1390
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 2: else is like.

1391
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:33,480
Speaker 1: I just got engaged.

1392
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 2: This is unbelievable, and you're right, like, I don't want

1393
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:41,760
Speaker 2: to be unhappy for anybody else. Yeah, if things are

1394
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 2: going you're ware, that's great. I don't want to be

1395
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 2: like and I can't help but think that where it's like, man,

1396
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:52,679
Speaker 2: good for them. But that just makes my day even worse.

1397
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,639
Speaker 3: Maybe this is why that NFL draft scouts so mad

1398
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 3: about Caleb Williams. Maybe he thought he was going to

1399
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 3: be a quarterback in the NFL one day and he

1400
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 3: turned out to be a draft scout or some you know,

1401
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:08,360
Speaker 3: talent evaluator, and now he's just gonna be overly critical

1402
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:10,760
Speaker 3: on things that don't matter in the grand scheme of

1403
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 3: the world and football.

1404
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,559
Speaker 2: That sounds about right. Maybe maybe that's it. By the way,

1405
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 2: Real Fast Ilo mentioned this as well. The Bucks losing

1406
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 2: in double overtime. Yeah, what a game though, Huh, that

1407
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,760
Speaker 2: wasn't unbelievable. It was Haliburton man. He missed every shot

1408
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,720
Speaker 2: until he needed to make one, any fund and one.

1409
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 2: I feel bad for the Bucks, Jared, And it's not

1410
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 2: just a Game three thing. It's an injury thing. They

1411
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:40,679
Speaker 2: haven't had Yannis all series long. He's got the strained

1412
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 2: calf and now Dame is banged up. Where earlier in

1413
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 2: the game he tweaks a knee, then in the fourth

1414
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 2: quarter it's his achilles. It's like, my goodness, what else

1415
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,600
Speaker 2: can go wrong for this Milwaukee team. I hate that

1416
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 2: injuries have gotten in their way because I really would

1417
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 2: have liked to have seen a health team and with

1418
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 2: Doc Rivers, just to see how far they could have gotten. Yeah,

1419
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:07,559
Speaker 2: they might not have gotten past the Indian. Who knows,

1420
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 2: will never know, but I just know it sucks that

1421
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 2: they're banged up at the worst possible time.

1422
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there is a savior that could help

1423
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 3: them if Jannis does come back and play as well.

1424
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 1: This series is not over yet.

1425
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:22,720
Speaker 3: It's two to one now. Nindy's got home court, They've

1426
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:24,760
Speaker 3: got the momentum. I think they're younger, they're fresher. I

1427
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 3: think they're better equipped to win the series. But the

1428
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:32,040
Speaker 3: NBA's got a funny way of messing with your mind here.

1429
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 3: And I haven't looked at the schedule. I don't know

1430
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 3: if they get an extra date. They do not, so

1431
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 3: you know, sometimes you get that extra date. Their extra

1432
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 3: day was between Games two and three on the travel day.

1433
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 3: Every game for the rest of the series will be

1434
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 3: one off, one on, one off, one on.

1435
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 1: Which is not beneficial to them.

1436
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 3: So obviously the chips are stacked against them, I'll be honest, though,

1437
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:57,919
Speaker 3: Chris Middleton would he dropped forty last night, like, Yeah,

1438
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 3: there's a chance for him to get high and to

1439
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 3: kind of take that secondary scoring role away from from Dame.

1440
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 3: But if Yannis doesn't come back, the series over anyways.

1441
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 3: But if Yannis comes back in the next game before

1442
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 3: tomorrow and is able to play, well, I don't think

1443
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 3: this like I'm not ready to just call this series

1444
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 3: just yet, because Milwaukee was able to win Game one

1445
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 3: and and and kind of at least give themselves a chance, right,

1446
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 3: because the question was we're talking about this about the betting.

1447
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:30,160
Speaker 3: Betting perspective wise, do we bet Indiana to win the

1448
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,680
Speaker 3: series now or do we wait because we don't know

1449
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 3: about Gianni's status. The fact that Milwaukee won Game one

1450
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 3: kind of changed the tone of things. So I don't

1451
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 3: think it's over yet. But yes, obviously Chips stacked heavily

1452
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 3: against the Bucks after last night.

1453
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, really they are, and it probably would take Janni's

1454
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 2: coming back, yeah, for them to win this series with

1455
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 2: Dame being banged up, right, Like, this isn't uh yeah,

1456
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:00,639
Speaker 2: my left shoulder was a little bit, but I'm working

1457
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 2: through it. And you're like, okay, who this isn't my

1458
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 2: you know, my left ring finger and this is an

1459
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:10,480
Speaker 2: achilles yeah right. He's like, yeah, I kind of activated.

1460
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 2: This achilles thing going on in the fourth quarter. It's like,

1461
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:17,599
Speaker 2: oh gosh, that's not good. Whatsoever? I will say book

1462
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:21,559
Speaker 2: ending this with how bad the day went. I've also

1463
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,679
Speaker 2: had a little in game Pacers minus three and a half.

1464
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 2: I looked good a couple of times, Jared, where you know,

1465
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:33,639
Speaker 2: Pascal Siakam trying to trying to get the and one

1466
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 2: at the end of regulation to go up four, misses

1467
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:39,680
Speaker 2: the free throw and Middleton cans the three.

1468
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 1: By the way, that helped. Huh it did?

1469
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 2: That was the only way we could have gotten home,

1470
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,880
Speaker 2: was Middleton hitting that. What crazy show are the Pacers doing?

1471
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 2: Not fouling you when you're up by three in the

1472
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:53,639
Speaker 2: final seconds, why are you like, maybe Middleton will miss.

1473
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 2: He's only gonna go for forty two tonight file the guy, yes,

1474
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:01,720
Speaker 2: but goes to overtime. Okay, they were in ot We

1475
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:04,120
Speaker 2: got the Pacers. They hit a three in the final

1476
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:06,760
Speaker 2: you know, sixteen seconds or so. Okay, all right, we're

1477
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 2: looking good. Let's get a miss. They're gonna follow us. Uh,

1478
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 2: Middleton banks in a three for double overtime. Then we're

1479
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 2: crazy the side of that, Yeah, we're triple overtime. How

1480
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 2: crazy was it? Were they inbounded the ball with like

1481
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 2: six seconds to go. They throw it way in the

1482
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 2: back court for Halliburton, unbelievable place. And he gets this

1483
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 2: running start and hits the end one and and we

1484
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 2: we win by three when we needed to win by four.

1485
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 1: Is in gambling fund right? You want to be a

1486
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 1: gamblers crass? Yeah?

1487
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to hear an opposite side of that

1488
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 3: that I was on that turned out positively. It's been

1489
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 3: the conversation in a positive way to take it. So Halliburton,

1490
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 3: who was like, oh for the world last night, I mean,

1491
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 3: you could not hit a shot. I think it was

1492
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 3: one for twelve from three his point total I bet

1493
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:59,600
Speaker 3: over sixteen and a half. It was fifteen until the

1494
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 3: last and that's beautiful and he ended with eight. And

1495
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 3: now the free throw didn't matter, but that shot put

1496
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:07,720
Speaker 3: him over his point prop for the night. And you

1497
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 3: watched the game. He could not hit and the usage

1498
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,600
Speaker 3: rate went way up. I love the look. I was

1499
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 3: very comfortable even if I lost the bet. I felt

1500
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 3: comfortable with the read because you know, he took a

1501
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:21,920
Speaker 3: gazillion shots, he couldn't make anything, but that hitting the

1502
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 3: way that it did, it felt fitting like Haliburton to

1503
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:26,439
Speaker 3: me is the heart and soul of this new what.

1504
01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: He had fourteen thirteen assists last night, like absolute rock star.

1505
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 2: And it is fitting that you know your bet hit

1506
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:36,759
Speaker 2: based on this weekend. Mind uh, we're gonna get back today,

1507
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 2: all right. We got to prop it up right around

1508
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 2: the corner. So we'll see if I can rally things

1509
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 2: and if Jared can stay red hot. He's Jared Smith,

1510
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:48,759
Speaker 2: f SR betting analyst. I'm Brian no Picks around the corner.

1511
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 2: It's Fox Sports Saturday, right here on Fox Sports Radio.

1512
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 2: It is Fox Sports Saturday, right here on Fox Sports Radio.

1513
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:57,559
Speaker 1: Let's dive into this.

1514
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 4: Prop it up plays.

1515
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 2: Okay, we got some prop bets over here for you guys.

1516
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 2: We'll start with you, Jared. Anything you like in particular.

1517
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 3: There is a lot that I like today in the NBA,

1518
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 3: so I'll be honest. The NBA prop market in the

1519
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 3: playoffs is an absolute gold mine. And here's why the

1520
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 3: books are taking numbers from the regular season and they're saying, Okay,

1521
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:29,559
Speaker 3: this is about where the averages have been and it's

1522
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 3: hard to create numbers and manually, I mean there's a

1523
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 3: million players and they're throwing up numbers and you know

1524
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 3: just as well as me, Brian in the playoffs, rotations,

1525
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 3: Titan minutes up, more, minutes, more.

1526
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 1: Whatever, stats, assist points, whatever.

1527
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 3: So if you can find the guys that are getting

1528
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 3: those minutes bumps, I think you have a big edge

1529
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 3: on the books. Let's start with Evan Mobley. I love

1530
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 3: buying off of blowouts. Obviously the Cavs. That was one

1531
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 3: of the ugliest games I've ever seen in Orlando the

1532
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 3: other night. They will obviously play better. He can't play

1533
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:04,519
Speaker 3: any worse. They will obviously play better. Today, Mobley still

1534
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:07,559
Speaker 3: score double digit points despite again Cleveland not being able

1535
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 3: to score anything and only playing twenty two minutes. Mobley's

1536
01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 3: point prop today is said at fourteen and a half.

1537
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of smoke on Donovan Mitchell.

1538
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:18,639
Speaker 3: I think that's where Orlando's defense will focus. I think

1539
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 3: Jared Allen gets a lot of attention in the middle.

1540
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 3: Evan Mobley can kind of fly under the raidars. This

1541
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:25,840
Speaker 3: is a guy who can absolutely go off at any

1542
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 3: given moment. He has a seventy one percent hit rate

1543
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 3: on his points prop. When he's got Garland, Allen and

1544
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 3: Mitchell on the floor this year, more minutes, no blowout. Today,

1545
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 3: Evan Mobley goes over fourteen and a half points. The

1546
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 3: other guy I'll give you because of this minute's bump.

1547
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:42,680
Speaker 3: We don't talk about the Thunder a whole lot, but

1548
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:44,559
Speaker 3: keep an eye on Jalen Williams today.

1549
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 1: I don't care what you play. I bet over four

1550
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 1: and a half assists.

1551
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 3: This dude is playing almost forty minutes a game, thirty

1552
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 3: nine minutes in game one he played thirty five, which

1553
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 3: was a blowout game, and his playoff passing rate most

1554
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 3: on the team. Nine and a half potential assists per

1555
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:04,639
Speaker 3: game through the first couple of games of this series.

1556
01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 3: We only need five today to hit this prompt so

1557
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 3: mobile over fourteen and a half points. That's the early

1558
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 3: game Cabs magic. Williams over four and a half is

1559
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 3: just Jalen Williams, the big man for the Thunder. This

1560
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:16,840
Speaker 3: two's Jayen Williams on. Okayc keep an eye on that

1561
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 3: for okay see later two.

1562
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:24,559
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm gonna stick with that same game. Pells

1563
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 2: hosting OKAC not too scientific right here. I just Jonas

1564
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:35,600
Speaker 2: Valentunis is way bigger than chet Holm Grit and he

1565
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 2: went crazy in game one rebounding, had twenty rebounds, and

1566
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,439
Speaker 2: then came back to earth in game two Game three

1567
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 2: at home. You know, Oka See is always a threat

1568
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 2: to shoot the lights out, but on the road when

1569
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 2: the Pels have to have it, I'm gonna say they're

1570
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:57,400
Speaker 2: not gonna be scorching hot today, and a lot of

1571
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:02,679
Speaker 2: rebounding opportunities for Valentunis. I'm gonna over eleven and a half.

1572
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:05,639
Speaker 2: And that's one of those numbers where it seems kind

1573
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:09,360
Speaker 2: of daunting beforehand. Like Jared Allen, I thought about him

1574
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 2: as well. With the calves. It's at twelve and a

1575
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:14,720
Speaker 2: half is the total, and you're like, man, that's a

1576
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 2: lot of rebounds. No, it's It's amazing how some of

1577
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 2: these rebounding numbers they just start stacking up quickly. So

1578
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:28,479
Speaker 2: I'm going Valanchuna is just huge size advantage over chet

1579
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 2: Holme Grin. Give me over eleven and a half today

1580
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:33,280
Speaker 2: for Big v As I call him, Jared, How do

1581
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 2: you like the double double? Yeah?

1582
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, a good one too for Jonas.

1583
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 2: Could be all right coming up next? Is the best

1584
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 2: case scenario? Still good for this team. Oh, welcome in Hope.

1585
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 2: You're having a fantastic Saturday. You know, Jared, if we

1586
01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 2: go back to the Pennix junior situation here for a bit,

1587
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 2: the Falcons, you know well chronicled the land Kirk cousins

1588
01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:02,360
Speaker 2: in the off seat in pay them one hundred million

1589
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 2: dollars guaranteed, and then they get Michael Pennick junior with

1590
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 2: the eight brawl. Pick what they ended up doing.

1591
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:12,920
Speaker 1: Here's the thing.

1592
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 2: Maybe it works down the road, maybe it pays dividends,

1593
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:22,800
Speaker 2: but it won't. You're betting against it. Huh yeah, well

1594
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 2: you've been hot start. It is from the start. Here's

1595
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 2: the deal. Even if it does work down the road,

1596
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:38,760
Speaker 2: you're negating your greatest advantage of taking a quarterback in

1597
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:42,800
Speaker 2: the top ten where you're hoping to strike it rich

1598
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:47,040
Speaker 2: with say c. J. Stroud last year, where he hits

1599
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 2: the ground running. And then the Texans they get really

1600
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:54,560
Speaker 2: aggressive this offseason and they make some big time additions

1601
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:56,080
Speaker 2: because you can.

1602
01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 1: You've got a.

1603
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 2: Quarterback on a rookie contract, and so you just build

1604
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 2: around the guy. You go out and you get danil Hunter,

1605
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:08,599
Speaker 2: you trade for Stefan Diggs. You know you're going all in.

1606
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 2: That's the greatest advantage. If you look at some of

1607
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 2: the teams that have made the Super Bowl the last

1608
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 2: couple of years, the forty nine Ers this past season,

1609
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:21,360
Speaker 2: Rock Purdy rookie deal. Look at the Eagles. Jalen Hurts

1610
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:24,519
Speaker 2: was on his rookie deal the season prior, Joe Burrow

1611
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,760
Speaker 2: was on his rookie deal this season before that. Now,

1612
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 2: none of those teams won, but they were right there. Yeah,

1613
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:36,479
Speaker 2: every game lost by a field goal like this close.

1614
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 2: My index finger and my thumb are very close together.

1615
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 2: They're like very close, fifty to fifty ball games that

1616
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:44,719
Speaker 2: could have gone their way. But the point is, that's

1617
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:48,040
Speaker 2: the greatest advantage in the NFL if you have a

1618
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 2: really good, productive quarterback on his rookie contract. And the

1619
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:58,519
Speaker 2: way it's shaping up for the Falcons, whenever Pennix Junior

1620
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 2: becomes the guy, this could be years down the road.

1621
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 2: You don't get the same benefit of him being on

1622
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:08,720
Speaker 2: the cheap and on his rookie contract. So even if

1623
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 2: this does work out, your greatest advantage has been negated

1624
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 2: because he's gonna be holding a clipboard most likely for

1625
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:19,559
Speaker 2: a couple of years. That's one of the main reasons

1626
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 2: I don't like this move at all.

1627
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of my mentors in the gambling space when

1628
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 3: I first started doing this, like really heavily, he said,

1629
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 3: I know that the parlays and these fun long shot

1630
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 3: wagers are are you know, they're gonna get your attention

1631
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:36,320
Speaker 3: and you'll get a lot of retweets and maybe you'll

1632
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:39,479
Speaker 3: make a couple bucks one day. But before you make

1633
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 3: a bet, close your eyes and think about everything that

1634
01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:46,080
Speaker 3: needs to go right in order for you to win

1635
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 3: that bet. And if your mind starts taking you down

1636
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:51,600
Speaker 3: a road where it's like this has to happen and

1637
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 3: this and the this, and then for this to happen

1638
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:56,720
Speaker 3: in here and that, you need to make sure that

1639
01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 3: you're being paid commeserate to what those you know in

1640
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:01,519
Speaker 3: your mind. The eye should match up to what you're

1641
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 3: paying for it. So let's apply this logic to what

1642
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:06,639
Speaker 3: the Falcons did.

1643
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 1: In order for.

1644
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:13,120
Speaker 3: This move to work, Kirk Cousins has to be successful,

1645
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:16,599
Speaker 3: because if he's not successful, then people are gonna ask

1646
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,240
Speaker 3: why the heck did you just spend one hundred dollars

1647
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 3: of Arthur Blank's money to go get them? So first

1648
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:26,640
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins has to be successful, maybe one year of really.

1649
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 1: Good quality play.

1650
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 3: Then you have to time it perfectly, like thread the

1651
01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 3: needle perfectly, where his decline starts to match up with

1652
01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:41,439
Speaker 3: the incline of Michael Pennix feeling comfortable and safe in

1653
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:44,479
Speaker 3: a new system and a new situation, and then the

1654
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:50,599
Speaker 3: paths have to cross perfectly for this to work. That

1655
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:53,880
Speaker 3: is a lot of things that have to go right

1656
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:57,400
Speaker 3: a long way down the road. And I always say

1657
01:24:57,400 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 3: when I'm handicapping the draft, it's a lot easier to

1658
01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 3: handicap the first two or three picks. The later on

1659
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 3: you get, the more the crazy reality starts to say

1660
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 3: it and this happens here and it changes everything. So

1661
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 3: the longer we play this scenario out, it's harder and

1662
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 3: harder to get it right because the future things change,

1663
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,680
Speaker 3: the variables change. We have to project out two to

1664
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:24,080
Speaker 3: three years in order to get to the proper answer

1665
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,920
Speaker 3: for the decision that was made on Thursday night.

1666
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 1: That is like a thirty team parlay. Yeah it ain't hitting.

1667
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's a really well it's a really good

1668
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 2: job of framing it. And it reminds me. I read

1669
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 2: something totally random where there's a nugget where one fifth

1670
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:51,559
Speaker 2: of Americans on vacation think about their next vacation.

1671
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 1: Yep.

1672
01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:55,679
Speaker 2: And I'm like, that's basically what the Falcons are doing

1673
01:25:55,760 --> 01:26:00,800
Speaker 2: right now. Yes, they're on vacation and thinking about their

1674
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 2: next vacation. I get that it's smart to plan for

1675
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:08,760
Speaker 2: the future in general, but there are times when you

1676
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:11,320
Speaker 2: just have to freaking go for it, you know what

1677
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:16,360
Speaker 2: I mean. And I think there's a situation that would

1678
01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 2: most likely present itself that might rival the Penis Junior

1679
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:25,640
Speaker 2: situation that would be even better down the road, you

1680
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

1681
01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 1: Like, so you reach on Penick Junior.

1682
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:33,320
Speaker 2: With the eighth overall pick, are you telling me that

1683
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:37,240
Speaker 2: there's not gonna be a similar situation, let's say two

1684
01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 2: or three years down the road. Yeah, where they could

1685
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:43,960
Speaker 2: have done the same thing and the timing would have worked.

1686
01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:45,439
Speaker 1: Out way better.

1687
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 2: Where Kirk Cousins has been around for a couple of years,

1688
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 2: he's getting longer in the tooth. You're looking for the

1689
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 2: next quarterback to take the reins. Kirk Cousins hasn't played

1690
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 2: one snappy yet and he's got years left in him.

1691
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 2: It just does it make sense to me? And even

1692
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:04,479
Speaker 2: if we play the best best case scenario I was

1693
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 2: thinking about this year, if you look at the other

1694
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 2: side of the coin, right, it's important to do this.

1695
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:13,640
Speaker 2: Let's play the what if game? What if things do

1696
01:27:13,800 --> 01:27:16,880
Speaker 2: work out, what would that look like? Okay, if this

1697
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:21,120
Speaker 2: works out for Kirk Cousins, Hey, Kirk Cousins missed time

1698
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 2: last year. What if Kirk misses you know, let's say

1699
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:29,519
Speaker 2: three four games and Pennix Junior fills in and plays

1700
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:31,799
Speaker 2: pretty well and they win a few of those games

1701
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:34,880
Speaker 2: and it keeps them alive in the playoff chase, And okay,

1702
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:38,760
Speaker 2: that's that's probably best case scenario. Best case scenario for

1703
01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:41,160
Speaker 2: Penix Junior, Well, he holds a clipboard for a while,

1704
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 2: eventually takes over and is a stud, and that's that's

1705
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:50,400
Speaker 2: good for him. But every best case scenario has a drawback,

1706
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:52,040
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And that's what I can't

1707
01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 2: get past either, is, even if this works out as

1708
01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:59,840
Speaker 2: best as it can, there's a drawback for Kirk. Let's

1709
01:27:59,840 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 2: say Penix Junior fills in admirably, well, hurt for a

1710
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:06,800
Speaker 2: little bit. Well you know what's gonna happen. Well, why

1711
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:10,080
Speaker 2: don't just stick with Penix Junior. Why bring back Kirk Cousins.

1712
01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:14,840
Speaker 2: That's not great? And then also the rookie deal that

1713
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 2: I talked about, where you're not taking great advantage of that.

1714
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 2: I look at the Packers as a good example. There's

1715
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 2: a drawback to having Jordan Love sit for years is

1716
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 2: they didn't get to take great advantage of him being

1717
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 2: on a rookie contract. The Packers had a good season,

1718
01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:36,160
Speaker 2: Jordan Love played great last year to number two in

1719
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:39,760
Speaker 2: the NFL in touchdown passes. They didn't take great advantage

1720
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:42,040
Speaker 2: of him being on a rookie contract because they didn't

1721
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 2: know what they had and now they're probably gonna pay

1722
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:48,200
Speaker 2: him this offseason. So you never got a chance to

1723
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:52,559
Speaker 2: take advantage of that great luxury of a productive quarterback

1724
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:56,879
Speaker 2: on a rookie contract. And that's where I think that's alarming,

1725
01:28:56,920 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 2: where every best case scenario still has made your drawbacks.

1726
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:03,080
Speaker 2: With the Falcons taking Pennix chew, Yeah, and.

1727
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:06,040
Speaker 3: That's why again it goes back to predicting out the

1728
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:09,679
Speaker 3: future is not easy to do. The longer into the future,

1729
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:11,759
Speaker 3: you get I know what I'm having for lunch today,

1730
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:13,599
Speaker 3: I have no idea what I'm having for lunch next week.

1731
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it just it.

1732
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense from a logic standpoint, and I'm

1733
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:20,040
Speaker 3: all about logic.

1734
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:21,560
Speaker 1: I understand contrarian.

1735
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:25,880
Speaker 3: This was you can't even put this in the contrarian category,

1736
01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:30,280
Speaker 3: because contrarian is when you see a market bubble that

1737
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:32,479
Speaker 3: isn't being accounted for and you and you try to

1738
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:34,160
Speaker 3: zig when everyone else is zagging.

1739
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:37,679
Speaker 1: There's no zig or zag here. This is like zilch.

1740
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:42,759
Speaker 3: I just I don't understand the logic because you nailed

1741
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:45,280
Speaker 3: it with the two to three years that is the

1742
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:48,280
Speaker 3: window for Kirk Cousins. Let's call it a two year window,

1743
01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:52,000
Speaker 3: just like Aaron Rodgers two year window. You're telling me

1744
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:55,840
Speaker 3: that in twenty twenty six, you have such a good

1745
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:59,519
Speaker 3: feel for the landscape of quarterbacks coming into the NFL

1746
01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 3: that you don't think one of those guys can give

1747
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:04,639
Speaker 3: you what Penix gave you. And I heard the clip

1748
01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:07,000
Speaker 3: they played it during the commercial of Brady Quinn, who

1749
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:09,080
Speaker 3: was one hundred percent right, and he said he likes

1750
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 3: the fact that Atlanta said he was Penix was so

1751
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:16,120
Speaker 3: good they couldn't pass him up. I like that conviction

1752
01:30:16,320 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 3: and that if I'm Michael Penix, I have a lot

1753
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:19,760
Speaker 3: of confidence coming.

1754
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:22,200
Speaker 1: Into Atlanta, but you're not the starter.

1755
01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:25,600
Speaker 3: If they liked just so much, they knew he was

1756
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:27,679
Speaker 3: playing in Washington last year.

1757
01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 1: They watched him play, but.

1758
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:33,960
Speaker 3: They still signed Kirk Cousins if they liked him that much.

1759
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:37,759
Speaker 3: This dude has been playing college football for five years.

1760
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:41,560
Speaker 3: You liked him that much, and you still took a

1761
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:45,519
Speaker 3: hundred mili of Uncle Blank's money and gave it to

1762
01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:47,200
Speaker 3: Kirkie Potte Like I just it's.

1763
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:49,520
Speaker 1: The logic of this decision.

1764
01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:52,720
Speaker 3: And I don't usually get this heated because I try

1765
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:56,280
Speaker 3: to stay calm, because when you're passionate and overly emotional,

1766
01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:59,719
Speaker 3: you don't make good bets. This is the worst decision

1767
01:30:59,840 --> 01:31:02,599
Speaker 3: I have ever seen since I've been doing this job

1768
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:07,600
Speaker 3: in terms of like draft capital, future projections, where the

1769
01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:10,559
Speaker 3: team is now. I don't think you could have made

1770
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 3: other than maybe drafting a kicker. You could have taken

1771
01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:16,519
Speaker 3: anyone else at eight and it would have been better

1772
01:31:17,240 --> 01:31:19,200
Speaker 3: than what the situation currently is.

1773
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:22,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and think about this too.

1774
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 2: Let's just say Kirk re signed with the Vikings and

1775
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:32,360
Speaker 2: then they drafted a quarterback. You'd be like, what are they?

1776
01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:33,960
Speaker 2: Why would they be doing this?

1777
01:31:34,080 --> 01:31:34,599
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

1778
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:39,639
Speaker 2: They it makes zero sense for the here and now. Again,

1779
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:41,439
Speaker 2: I don't have a crystal ball. I don't know what's

1780
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:45,959
Speaker 2: gonna happen years down the road. Like Jordan love the Packers,

1781
01:31:46,120 --> 01:31:48,160
Speaker 2: like that they have them now. But I would also

1782
01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:52,680
Speaker 2: rewind to those last couple of years with Aaron Rodgers.

1783
01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:56,600
Speaker 2: I mean, Aaron Rodgers had a couple of MVP seasons,

1784
01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:59,599
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, who knows what would

1785
01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:02,679
Speaker 2: have happened, and if they used a first round pick

1786
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:05,160
Speaker 2: that might have been a major asset that helped them

1787
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:06,040
Speaker 2: get over the top.

1788
01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:07,080
Speaker 1: We'll never know that.

1789
01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:09,920
Speaker 2: I think you could play that game even better with

1790
01:32:10,040 --> 01:32:13,799
Speaker 2: the Falcons. You're talking about the number eight overall pick.

1791
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:16,679
Speaker 2: There's an even better chance, right, it's a top ten pick.

1792
01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:19,800
Speaker 2: This guy could help a lot. So I just don't

1793
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:22,880
Speaker 2: get it. I also think this last thing you mentioned

1794
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:25,679
Speaker 2: this at the beginning of the show, Bill Belichick, yep,

1795
01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:29,720
Speaker 2: and the Falcons passed him over years ago, a lot

1796
01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:35,120
Speaker 2: of people were wearing these bracelets that said, WWJD, you

1797
01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 2: remember this, what would Jesus do?

1798
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:38,040
Speaker 1: Now?

1799
01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:39,880
Speaker 2: It's just like, I screw that. Just have fun, do

1800
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:42,400
Speaker 2: whatever you want to do. But then now it's yolo.

1801
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:45,840
Speaker 2: It's yolo now, But back then that's what it was.

1802
01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:49,320
Speaker 2: I think that NFL front offices a lot of these

1803
01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:54,840
Speaker 2: teams should have WWBD. What would Belichick do? And he

1804
01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 2: didn't get everything right. I'm not saying he did, but

1805
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:02,240
Speaker 2: I'll tell you one thing, Jared, there is no way

1806
01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:05,800
Speaker 2: if they signed Bill Pelichick to be their head coach

1807
01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:09,639
Speaker 2: in Atlanta that Michael Pennix Junior would be there. No

1808
01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:11,560
Speaker 2: chance because it's just dumb.

1809
01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:14,400
Speaker 1: Zero shot. And that's why I tweeted this.

1810
01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:17,559
Speaker 3: So the video of Blank and font No going back

1811
01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:20,880
Speaker 3: and forth is one of the funniest things ever. Again,

1812
01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:22,920
Speaker 3: it reminds me of what my grandfather used to like

1813
01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:25,040
Speaker 3: the like the waiter at the at the at the

1814
01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:27,920
Speaker 3: diner he went to gave in the wrong soup and

1815
01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:29,599
Speaker 3: he's trying to send it back and he's like, wait

1816
01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 3: a minute, I didn't order this. He's like, oh, back

1817
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:33,880
Speaker 3: and forth like wait, are you sure? And then the

1818
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:37,920
Speaker 3: what it happened was like I think in that moment

1819
01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:41,600
Speaker 3: there was regret. Why didn't I hire Bill? Like I

1820
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 3: I honestly do believe that, And I don't know. I'm

1821
01:33:44,560 --> 01:33:47,160
Speaker 3: just basing it off of body language. In my personal opinion,

1822
01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:49,519
Speaker 3: I don't really know what Arthur Blank is thinking. But

1823
01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:52,719
Speaker 3: if I was Arthur Blank, that's what I would be thinking.

1824
01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:56,320
Speaker 2: Man, it makes me think about the report from last

1825
01:33:56,360 --> 01:34:01,639
Speaker 2: week we talked about with Robert Kraft calling yeah yeah,

1826
01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:04,800
Speaker 2: Arthur Blank and say, hey man, this Belichick guy. Don't

1827
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:08,280
Speaker 2: trust him, really hard to work with, YadA YadA, YadA YadA.

1828
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:08,960
Speaker 1: Nix's agent.

1829
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:16,840
Speaker 3: That was really called, right, Brian, There's got to be

1830
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:18,519
Speaker 3: an explanation out there in the universe somewhere.

1831
01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:19,280
Speaker 1: I don't know where it is.

1832
01:34:19,280 --> 01:34:22,280
Speaker 3: It's like the great mystery of our time, like how

1833
01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:25,120
Speaker 3: the Big Bang theory and Michael Pennock's getting drafted eighth?

1834
01:34:25,640 --> 01:34:26,080
Speaker 1: You know what?

1835
01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:29,599
Speaker 2: And I'll spend this in a gambling direction real fast, Jared,

1836
01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:32,960
Speaker 2: Jared is, I don't know about you. I would imagine

1837
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:37,719
Speaker 2: you're similar. Last that give you an example. Okay, Heading

1838
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:40,080
Speaker 2: into the game, I'm like, I'm gonna bet on the Suns.

1839
01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:44,519
Speaker 2: I don't see them losing three straight. This is a

1840
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:47,080
Speaker 2: team that handled the timber Wolves. They won every game

1841
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:50,240
Speaker 2: in the regular season by double digits. They come home,

1842
01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:53,320
Speaker 2: crowd's going to be into it. Maybe the sun shoot

1843
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:55,599
Speaker 2: the lights out. I'm gonna have them.

1844
01:34:55,439 --> 01:34:56,120
Speaker 1: Get a game.

1845
01:34:56,280 --> 01:34:59,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought at least made sense. Then the game

1846
01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:02,400
Speaker 2: plays out, and then a lot of gamblers do this.

1847
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:03,920
Speaker 1: What was I thinking?

1848
01:35:04,040 --> 01:35:08,200
Speaker 2: That was such a stupid bet, That was so idiotic.

1849
01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:14,519
Speaker 2: But with Pennix Junior, if you told me before the draft, hey,

1850
01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:18,280
Speaker 2: I get a little tip for you. Falcons are gonna

1851
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:21,519
Speaker 2: go with Pennex Junior, I would have laughed in your face.

1852
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:23,920
Speaker 2: I would have been like, what have you watched football

1853
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:26,080
Speaker 2: and all? What are you talking about?

1854
01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:26,559
Speaker 1: Right?

1855
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:31,240
Speaker 2: So it's like the the yin to the yang with gambling.

1856
01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:34,160
Speaker 2: If you ever have a bet that misses and you're

1857
01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:37,519
Speaker 2: kicking yourself and you're like, I'm the biggest idiot. What

1858
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:42,120
Speaker 2: was I thinking? Every now and then those long shots hit.

1859
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:47,559
Speaker 2: You'd imagine if you bet a decent amount on I

1860
01:35:47,600 --> 01:35:51,400
Speaker 2: don't know, uh, Penix Junior to the Falcons, and that's

1861
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:53,920
Speaker 2: not what happened, you know what I mean, you'd be like,

1862
01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:56,800
Speaker 2: what was I thinking? But guess what it actually did happen.

1863
01:35:56,840 --> 01:35:59,880
Speaker 2: Some of this crazy stuff does happen. So long story show,

1864
01:36:00,360 --> 01:36:03,559
Speaker 2: don't kick yourself because it's sports and crazy stuff happens.

1865
01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:06,920
Speaker 3: Well the draft, and we didn't talk about the bet

1866
01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:10,679
Speaker 3: I hit. You know, it was obscene that the Bowers

1867
01:36:10,680 --> 01:36:13,120
Speaker 3: to the Raiders bet hit, right, like it was basically

1868
01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:16,280
Speaker 3: the bet was, and the draft has this really unique

1869
01:36:16,280 --> 01:36:19,040
Speaker 3: way of kind of framing these bets, like this team

1870
01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:22,839
Speaker 3: to draft this position, and it's a thought exercise because

1871
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:26,400
Speaker 3: and I give all the credit to Doug Azirion, who

1872
01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:28,320
Speaker 3: I did a podcast with him last week, and we

1873
01:36:28,320 --> 01:36:32,759
Speaker 3: were just having a conversation mid conversation about Brock Bowers

1874
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:35,920
Speaker 3: to the Jets, and we're like, that makes so much sense, right,

1875
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:38,639
Speaker 3: Like you brought some tackles in in the off season,

1876
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:41,200
Speaker 3: you got year two of this Aaron Rodgers window.

1877
01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:43,080
Speaker 1: You need to really get him some help. And they did.

1878
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:45,120
Speaker 3: Later in the draft. They got the Western Kentucky receiver

1879
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:49,040
Speaker 3: who I love, Corley, but we're like, yeah, you know, Bowers,

1880
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:51,760
Speaker 3: like they might pass, And then Doug just mentioned it

1881
01:36:51,800 --> 01:36:55,800
Speaker 3: off hand, like kind of mid conversation, He's like, well,

1882
01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:58,520
Speaker 3: let's say the Jets pass on Bowers and he's still available,

1883
01:36:59,160 --> 01:37:02,400
Speaker 3: and the Broncos at twelve are gonna go obviously, you

1884
01:37:02,439 --> 01:37:06,320
Speaker 3: know eleven and twelve Vikings Broncos were quarterbacks, and if

1885
01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:09,600
Speaker 3: the Raiders, who really want a quarterback, miss out on

1886
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:12,599
Speaker 3: these quarterbacks, and then Brock Bauers is sitting there at thirteen,

1887
01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:14,720
Speaker 3: like Mark Davis is kind of a gunslinger, like I

1888
01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:16,640
Speaker 3: wouldn't be shocked if he just you know, took a

1889
01:37:16,720 --> 01:37:18,639
Speaker 3: chance on who could be He might be the best

1890
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:20,479
Speaker 3: overall offensive player in the draft when it's all said

1891
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:23,000
Speaker 3: and done, him and Marvin Arrison Junior. And I'm like, wow,

1892
01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:24,200
Speaker 3: that really makes a lot of sense. And then I

1893
01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:26,000
Speaker 3: looked at the odds. I'm like, this is sixty to one.

1894
01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:27,240
Speaker 3: Nobody's betting this.

1895
01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:29,840
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, it could happen.

1896
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:33,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, the long shots, dude tend to play out

1897
01:37:33,160 --> 01:37:35,880
Speaker 3: sometimes in the draft, but you've got to really do

1898
01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:39,160
Speaker 3: Like that logic made sense, right, Brian, Like that to me,

1899
01:37:39,320 --> 01:37:42,280
Speaker 3: that logic makes that the logic with Penix I couldn't

1900
01:37:42,280 --> 01:37:44,400
Speaker 3: have gotten there. There's no logic that could have gotten

1901
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:45,240
Speaker 3: me to make that bet.

1902
01:37:46,280 --> 01:37:47,960
Speaker 2: And it's hard to make a bet like, I know

1903
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:51,400
Speaker 2: this makes no sense, Yeah, but it could happening.

1904
01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:54,200
Speaker 3: Made a little sense, right, like maybe the quarterbacks early

1905
01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:56,200
Speaker 3: and then and David Pennis does.

1906
01:37:56,520 --> 01:37:59,280
Speaker 2: It's just like, man, it's hard to make bets where

1907
01:37:59,280 --> 01:38:01,360
Speaker 2: you're like, I know this makes no sense at all,

1908
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:04,040
Speaker 2: but it could happen. That just sounds like the thinking

1909
01:38:04,080 --> 01:38:07,960
Speaker 2: of a mush you know, hey, Thoroughbred racing has a

1916
01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:36,799
Speaker 2: History made in a couple of ways in the NFL Draft.

1917
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:40,839
Speaker 2: Which way blows your mind more? It's Fox Sports Saturday,

1918
01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:44,040
Speaker 2: right here on Fox Sports Radio. It is Fox Sports Saturday,

1919
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:47,599
Speaker 2: right here on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, so we had

1920
01:38:47,640 --> 01:38:51,240
Speaker 2: a couple of records that were broken in the first round.

1921
01:38:51,240 --> 01:38:55,120
Speaker 2: Here Jared of the NFL Draft. Which one blows your

1922
01:38:55,160 --> 01:39:01,479
Speaker 2: mind the most? Okay, So here's the list among others. Right, So,

1923
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:06,000
Speaker 2: six of the top twelve picks were quarterbacks, all qbs.

1924
01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:12,240
Speaker 2: Never happened before, unprecedented. Also, the first fourteen picks were

1925
01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:17,080
Speaker 2: all offensive players. Previous high was seven. And then there

1926
01:39:17,120 --> 01:39:21,240
Speaker 2: were twenty three offensive players drafted in the first round.

1927
01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:26,719
Speaker 2: Previous high was nineteen. So of those three six qbs

1928
01:39:26,760 --> 01:39:30,960
Speaker 2: in the top twelve first fourteen picks all offensive players.

1929
01:39:31,880 --> 01:39:35,200
Speaker 2: Twenty three offensive players drafted in the first round. Which

1930
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:39,280
Speaker 2: record blows your mind the most? The quarterbacks, And I'll

1931
01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:39,840
Speaker 2: tell you why.

1932
01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:44,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the offensive stuff is like happens stance,

1933
01:39:45,120 --> 01:39:47,840
Speaker 3: Like it just so happened that this draft the best

1934
01:39:47,840 --> 01:39:50,880
Speaker 3: players were lineman, receivers and quarterbacks. I think that's just

1935
01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:53,200
Speaker 3: next year could be all defensive linemen. Like it just

1936
01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 3: you might get four defensive linemen in the top that

1937
01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:57,320
Speaker 3: next year. And I think it's just a matter of

1938
01:39:58,120 --> 01:40:00,320
Speaker 3: the luck of the draw with who's coming out and

1939
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:03,759
Speaker 3: who's picking when I think that, and that also correlates

1940
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:05,560
Speaker 3: to the offensive lineman and all that other stuff. I

1941
01:40:05,600 --> 01:40:10,080
Speaker 3: think the quarterbacks to me is a not necessarily a

1942
01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:12,439
Speaker 3: generational shift, because we've been moving in this direction for

1943
01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:17,000
Speaker 3: a long time, but it is the tipping point of

1944
01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:22,840
Speaker 3: teams showing you how important this position is at the

1945
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 3: top of the draft. And we know that, like we've

1946
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:28,919
Speaker 3: already known that answer for a long time, but now

1947
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:33,639
Speaker 3: we are raising the bar even higher to the future,

1948
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:40,160
Speaker 3: whereas now teams will be perhaps even more aggressive with quarterbacks.

1949
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:44,000
Speaker 3: Bon Nicks, who I love, is not the twelfth best

1950
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:45,439
Speaker 3: player in this class.

1951
01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:47,360
Speaker 1: He's not even close. He might not even be in

1952
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:49,960
Speaker 1: the top one hundred. He was taken.

1953
01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:54,000
Speaker 3: Twelfth because of the desperate need to have a quarterback

1954
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:59,240
Speaker 3: in the NFL. And I think that, I guess consolidation

1955
01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:03,400
Speaker 3: of the cour back market will have ripple effects in

1956
01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:06,759
Speaker 3: next year's draft and forward and forward and beyond.

1957
01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:11,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the first fourteen picks all being

1958
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:12,879
Speaker 2: offensive players.

1959
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:14,360
Speaker 1: Pretty wild to hell a parlay.

1960
01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:20,439
Speaker 2: That's insane. It's double the previous record. Previous high was seven,

1961
01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:23,760
Speaker 2: that was back in twenty twenty one. We got to

1962
01:41:23,960 --> 01:41:27,880
Speaker 2: fourteen straight offensive players off the board. And what blows

1963
01:41:27,920 --> 01:41:31,000
Speaker 2: my mind the most is we've talked about it a

1964
01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:35,960
Speaker 2: lot on the show Atlanta. Atlanta goes Pennix Junior as

1965
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:40,680
Speaker 2: a backup quarterback for years at number eight. Overall, they

1966
01:41:40,720 --> 01:41:45,360
Speaker 2: could have had their top choice of a defensive player. Instead,

1967
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:48,839
Speaker 2: they get the fourth quarterback off the board.

1968
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:52,720
Speaker 1: And it's like, what, I'm just stunned.

1969
01:41:53,320 --> 01:41:57,280
Speaker 2: One of these teams in the top fourteen didn't say, Hey,

1970
01:41:57,600 --> 01:42:03,040
Speaker 2: we could get the top defensive prospect instead of whatever

1971
01:42:03,080 --> 01:42:06,080
Speaker 2: it may be, the fourth quarterback, the fifth quarterback, the

1972
01:42:06,240 --> 01:42:10,719
Speaker 2: sixth quarterback. Right Like, let's go with the top defensive guy,

1973
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:13,240
Speaker 2: you know, I'm just surprised there wasn't one team in

1974
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:15,960
Speaker 2: the top fourteen that thought that way. That's what blows

1975
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:16,800
Speaker 2: my mind the most.

1976
01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:20,920
Speaker 3: I agree, and I think there came a point where

1977
01:42:20,920 --> 01:42:22,200
Speaker 3: it was like, all right, we got to take a

1978
01:42:22,280 --> 01:42:26,000
Speaker 3: defensive player now. And I think the first guy taken

1979
01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:28,479
Speaker 3: was you know, it helps that I had a three

1980
01:42:28,520 --> 01:42:30,280
Speaker 3: to one on him gonna be the first defensive player taken,

1981
01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:32,840
Speaker 3: So I obviously feel very positive about it. But I

1982
01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:36,760
Speaker 3: think he was the guy most deserving. And this is

1983
01:42:36,840 --> 01:42:39,599
Speaker 3: lie to Latsu. The UCLA edge rusher went to India

1984
01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:44,320
Speaker 3: at fifteen, and when you look at what defense is

1985
01:42:44,439 --> 01:42:49,040
Speaker 3: in the NFL, Yeah, we might never see that again.

1986
01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:51,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if we'll ever see six quarterbacks in

1987
01:42:51,360 --> 01:42:54,599
Speaker 3: the top twelve again. Like I think that is because

1988
01:42:54,640 --> 01:42:57,040
Speaker 3: how often are there six really good quarterbacks in the

1989
01:42:57,080 --> 01:43:00,320
Speaker 3: same draft. Like I guess this draft was unique in

1990
01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:03,040
Speaker 3: that sense where you had so many teams picking near

1991
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:05,400
Speaker 3: the top that were so quarterback desperate.

1992
01:43:05,920 --> 01:43:08,720
Speaker 1: It was like this perfect storm.

1993
01:43:08,520 --> 01:43:12,280
Speaker 3: And maybe that created the ripple effect of the offensive

1994
01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:13,760
Speaker 3: players going where they were. It.

1995
01:43:14,840 --> 01:43:16,200
Speaker 1: This was a really weird draft.

1996
01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:18,160
Speaker 3: Now I've been covering the draft, I've been obviously a

1997
01:43:18,160 --> 01:43:20,679
Speaker 3: fan of the draft forever, but really covering the draft

1998
01:43:20,680 --> 01:43:22,720
Speaker 3: from like a gambling perspective, which to me is the

1999
01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:24,320
Speaker 3: best way to cover anything, because you know the ins

2000
01:43:24,320 --> 01:43:26,519
Speaker 3: and outs and the numbers and the odds and where

2001
01:43:26,640 --> 01:43:28,840
Speaker 3: was you know, who was expected to go where. This

2002
01:43:29,040 --> 01:43:31,240
Speaker 3: was the most unique of the five that I've covered

2003
01:43:31,240 --> 01:43:34,320
Speaker 3: since that twenty twenty and that was a draft that

2004
01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:36,599
Speaker 3: was held in Roger Goodell's basement, So that just shows

2005
01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:40,080
Speaker 3: you how weird this one was. But the quarterbacks, to me.

2006
01:43:40,320 --> 01:43:43,240
Speaker 1: Just because of where we are in this NFL.

2007
01:43:43,720 --> 01:43:47,799
Speaker 3: Landscape, Yeah, fourteen offensive players in the road is crazy,

2008
01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:50,160
Speaker 3: but six out of twelve, like, both of those to

2009
01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:52,080
Speaker 3: me are on pretty level playing fields.

2010
01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:54,000
Speaker 1: But the quarterback position just trumps everything.

2011
01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm so curious to see, obviously, how this

2012
01:43:57,320 --> 01:44:00,920
Speaker 2: quarterback class pans out. Yes, man, go back to twenty

2013
01:44:00,960 --> 01:44:04,960
Speaker 2: twenty one and you look at these top guys. Trevor

2014
01:44:05,040 --> 01:44:07,599
Speaker 2: Lawrence is the only guy. There were five quarterbacks taken

2015
01:44:07,640 --> 01:44:10,479
Speaker 2: in the top fifteen. Trevor Lawrence is the only guy

2016
01:44:10,520 --> 01:44:14,400
Speaker 2: who's still with his same team. Everybody else's been traded.

2017
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:16,680
Speaker 2: And so the point is, if you look at this

2018
01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:20,040
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four class, man, some people are like, oh, man,

2019
01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:21,880
Speaker 2: look out for this guy. This guy looks like a

2020
01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:24,720
Speaker 2: this guy looks unbelievable. I think this guy's gonna work out.

2021
01:44:25,600 --> 01:44:28,320
Speaker 2: Half these guys is probably gonna be complete duds. That's

2022
01:44:28,360 --> 01:44:30,760
Speaker 2: what history would tell you, and you go back to

2023
01:44:30,800 --> 01:44:35,040
Speaker 2: that twenty twenty one draft, Zach Wilson number two overall pick,

2024
01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:38,680
Speaker 2: traded for a sixth round pick, and also like the

2025
01:44:38,760 --> 01:44:41,599
Speaker 2: Jets had to trade Zach Wilson and a seventh round

2026
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:44,320
Speaker 2: pick and pick up a lot of the tab for

2027
01:44:44,400 --> 01:44:46,840
Speaker 2: the Broncos to part with the sixth rounder. Ye right,

2028
01:44:47,479 --> 01:44:50,559
Speaker 2: Trey Lance traded for a fourth, Justin Fields traded for

2029
01:44:50,600 --> 01:44:53,719
Speaker 2: a sixth. Mac Jones traded for a sixth. Like three

2030
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:56,519
Speaker 2: of those guys were traded for sixth round picks.

2031
01:44:57,400 --> 01:44:58,400
Speaker 1: That's crazy to me.

2032
01:44:58,520 --> 01:45:02,519
Speaker 2: So if you apply that to this year's class, it

2033
01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:05,400
Speaker 2: looks great now, but history would tell you it's probably

2034
01:45:05,400 --> 01:45:07,360
Speaker 2: not going to look great over the long haul. Someone

2035
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:10,400
Speaker 2: who does look great over the long haul, that would

2036
01:45:10,400 --> 01:45:16,160
Speaker 2: be Isaac Glowing Crown, morning, noon and night, still glowing brightly,

2037
01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:17,840
Speaker 2: he's got the latest, what's going on.

2038
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:22,280
Speaker 6: I love always glowing because I'm on the radio and

2039
01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:25,960
Speaker 6: no one can tell the awful truth. That's why I

2040
01:45:26,040 --> 01:45:28,920
Speaker 6: love it so much. We love the NFL drafted. It

2081
01:47:36,160 --> 01:47:39,599
Speaker 2: the knuckleheads who falsely accused me but Jared of saying

2082
01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:45,639
Speaker 2: Kurt Man's Kirk Cousins. Of course, it's one of those

2083
01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:50,759
Speaker 2: things where because Cousins starts with the same you know, sound,

2084
01:47:51,680 --> 01:47:54,600
Speaker 2: they kind of run together where you say Kirk Cousins

2085
01:47:55,120 --> 01:47:58,360
Speaker 2: and to the jackasses out there, it sounds like Kurt, but.

2086
01:47:58,680 --> 01:47:59,400
Speaker 1: They just like you.

2087
01:47:59,439 --> 01:48:02,160
Speaker 3: Honestly, the way I view I've changed my approach on

2088
01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:05,200
Speaker 3: social media trolling significantly in the last couple of years

2089
01:48:05,240 --> 01:48:07,400
Speaker 3: because I've gotten this is a good problem to have.

2090
01:48:07,479 --> 01:48:09,360
Speaker 3: The more you know, more notoriety you get, the more

2091
01:48:09,360 --> 01:48:11,479
Speaker 3: people that dislike you. It's just the way it works.

2092
01:48:13,479 --> 01:48:17,160
Speaker 3: It's it's all a compliment, and anyone who's taking time

2093
01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:19,799
Speaker 3: from their day think about, like what you do throughout

2094
01:48:19,840 --> 01:48:22,439
Speaker 3: the course of your day. If you're taking time to

2095
01:48:22,600 --> 01:48:25,080
Speaker 3: like type out a tweet about someone that you don't

2096
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:27,840
Speaker 3: like and send it, that's a compliment. It means you

2097
01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:30,479
Speaker 3: actually are jealous or you actually do like. It's like

2098
01:48:30,520 --> 01:48:32,559
Speaker 3: at the bully on the schoolyard. Yeah, you don't pick

2099
01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:34,680
Speaker 3: on the guy or the girl that you don't like.

2100
01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:36,240
Speaker 3: You pick on the girl you got to crush on.

2101
01:48:36,640 --> 01:48:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're right. It's funny because I give a

2102
01:48:39,640 --> 01:48:42,479
Speaker 2: shout out to one of my friends, Bruce Jacobs, who

2103
01:48:42,560 --> 01:48:44,559
Speaker 2: I worked with in New York for a little while.

2104
01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:48,560
Speaker 2: He's the sports radio guy, and he came in smiling

2105
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:52,320
Speaker 2: one day because some troll had something crazy to say,

2106
01:48:53,080 --> 01:48:55,640
Speaker 2: and I'm like, what are you smiling about? He's like, oh,

2107
01:48:55,680 --> 01:48:56,160
Speaker 2: I love this.

2108
01:48:56,600 --> 01:48:56,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2109
01:48:56,800 --> 01:48:59,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, there's no way you can actually love this.

2110
01:48:59,200 --> 01:49:01,080
Speaker 2: I don't believe that at all. He's like, no, I do,

2111
01:49:01,120 --> 01:49:04,120
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you why. He's like, I would rather

2112
01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:05,519
Speaker 2: you hate me.

2113
01:49:06,400 --> 01:49:07,719
Speaker 1: But know who I am?

2114
01:49:07,960 --> 01:49:11,960
Speaker 2: Yep that I'm just no one knows me at all.

2115
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:14,680
Speaker 2: I'm anonymous. So I'm like, that's a good way to

2116
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:15,040
Speaker 2: look for.

2117
01:49:15,200 --> 01:49:17,639
Speaker 3: A while to get there, because like, I'm a people pleaser.

2118
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:20,760
Speaker 3: And frankly, this is kind of the Caleb Williams story reincarnated.

2119
01:49:21,040 --> 01:49:24,240
Speaker 3: Like it took me a while to be comfortable enough

2120
01:49:24,840 --> 01:49:27,240
Speaker 3: with who I was on the air and doing this

2121
01:49:27,400 --> 01:49:30,280
Speaker 3: job to not care about the outside opinion.

2122
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:32,000
Speaker 1: You know.

2123
01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:36,400
Speaker 2: I have worked to get there because if someone's just wrong,

2124
01:49:37,520 --> 01:49:40,360
Speaker 2: it drives me crazy and they won't listen. That's not

2125
01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:43,519
Speaker 2: that they will not listen. Man, I'll like that. I

2126
01:49:43,560 --> 01:49:45,600
Speaker 2: got to follow up tweet from one of the jackasses

2127
01:49:45,640 --> 01:49:49,080
Speaker 2: out there and he's like, oh, you're wrong. Play the tape.

2128
01:49:49,280 --> 01:49:53,000
Speaker 2: I literally, I will grab the I played the tape.

2129
01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:56,120
Speaker 2: I'll even tweet it back to him and he'll still

2130
01:49:56,600 --> 01:49:57,200
Speaker 2: there's no gain.

2131
01:49:57,280 --> 01:49:58,479
Speaker 1: You can't argue with these guys.

2132
01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:00,680
Speaker 3: They just want to be heard and and so my

2133
01:50:00,840 --> 01:50:04,040
Speaker 3: approaches I just let them say what they say and

2134
01:50:04,040 --> 01:50:07,439
Speaker 3: I just ignored them. The best thing, the best thing

2135
01:50:07,479 --> 01:50:10,160
Speaker 3: ever created on social media was the mute button, really,

2136
01:50:10,200 --> 01:50:12,880
Speaker 3: because what it does is it allows the people to

2137
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:16,360
Speaker 3: just keep talking and blabbing whatever they want. They think

2138
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:19,000
Speaker 3: they're talking to you, and you are ignorant to it.

2139
01:50:19,080 --> 01:50:20,200
Speaker 3: Ignorance is bliss.

2140
01:50:20,479 --> 01:50:24,599
Speaker 2: I'm surprised, Uh, Elon hasn't gotten rid of something that's cool?

2141
01:50:24,760 --> 01:50:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, what I mean? I agree?

2142
01:50:26,320 --> 01:50:29,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, real fast as far as truth tellers go,

2143
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:32,719
Speaker 2: how about this Colts GM Chris Ballard.

2144
01:50:32,960 --> 01:50:36,160
Speaker 1: Hmm, so he's pushing back.

2145
01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:41,280
Speaker 2: There were some reports about character issues about a d Mitchell.

2146
01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:44,479
Speaker 2: He's a wide receiver from Texas. The Colts took him

2147
01:50:44,520 --> 01:50:47,639
Speaker 2: in the second round, and so there are reports, Hey,

2148
01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:50,200
Speaker 2: you got some character issues, some red flags over here

2149
01:50:50,439 --> 01:50:54,840
Speaker 2: and Chris Ballard unplugged over here, unfiltered. Check this out.

2150
01:50:54,960 --> 01:50:57,360
Speaker 9: I read some of the bull that was set on Tea.

2151
01:50:57,400 --> 01:51:02,120
Speaker 9: I mean, just a typical excuse my language, our typical league,

2152
01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:07,840
Speaker 9: unnamed sources, you know, bad interview. That's such a bull me.

2153
01:51:09,040 --> 01:51:12,639
Speaker 9: It's bull like put your name, like, put your name

2154
01:51:12,680 --> 01:51:16,960
Speaker 9: on it. I'm tired of we tear these young men down.

2155
01:51:16,960 --> 01:51:20,120
Speaker 9: These are twenty one, twenty two young men. And if

2156
01:51:20,160 --> 01:51:22,120
Speaker 9: you can, if people out there can tell me, they

2157
01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:24,559
Speaker 9: don't they're perfect in their lives.

2158
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:26,960
Speaker 1: It's crap. It's crap.

2159
01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:30,920
Speaker 9: This is a good kid, and you know, for for that,

2160
01:51:31,160 --> 01:51:33,800
Speaker 9: for those reports to come out, like you know, I

2161
01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:39,479
Speaker 9: said it last year, it's it's book. I'm sorry, that's

2162
01:51:39,479 --> 01:51:41,040
Speaker 9: your language. I don't, but I do.

2163
01:51:43,280 --> 01:51:44,439
Speaker 1: I like to spoll it a lot more.

2164
01:51:44,439 --> 01:51:47,400
Speaker 2: After hearing this, he stuck to Landing too. I apologize

2165
01:51:47,439 --> 01:51:51,080
Speaker 2: I don't, but I guess I kind of do. Look, man,

2166
01:51:51,160 --> 01:51:53,639
Speaker 2: I agree with him in terms of put your name

2167
01:51:53,680 --> 01:51:56,120
Speaker 2: on it if you've got something negative to say, especially

2168
01:51:56,160 --> 01:52:00,720
Speaker 2: if it's really negative. I hate that it's anonymous. I

2169
01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:04,720
Speaker 2: completely agree with him. And look, Belichick is a good

2170
01:52:04,720 --> 01:52:08,000
Speaker 2: example of this. Belichick doing the draft coverage. I really

2171
01:52:08,080 --> 01:52:10,559
Speaker 2: liked it because he was honest. He was not afraid

2172
01:52:10,600 --> 01:52:13,479
Speaker 2: to be real. Some of these guys that get on there,

2173
01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:15,439
Speaker 2: it's just funny where it's like, oh, this guy works

2174
01:52:15,439 --> 01:52:17,960
Speaker 2: out great, it's a great fit, he'll have a great career.

2175
01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:20,479
Speaker 2: Great great, great great great. And Belichick was just like, yeah,

2176
01:52:20,479 --> 01:52:22,960
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I disagree with this. I love

2177
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:27,760
Speaker 2: that honesty, but it wasn't anonymous. You know, it's from Belichick.

2178
01:52:27,840 --> 01:52:31,080
Speaker 2: So I hate when someone has something uber negative to say,

2179
01:52:31,600 --> 01:52:34,800
Speaker 2: maybe about Caleb Williams crying, and you don't know who's

2180
01:52:34,880 --> 01:52:37,120
Speaker 2: said it. I totally agree with Ballard as far as

2181
01:52:37,160 --> 01:52:37,599
Speaker 2: that goes.

2182
01:52:37,760 --> 01:52:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, could not agree with you more.

2183
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:42,719
Speaker 3: I think the draft, unfortunately, is becoming like a social

2184
01:52:42,800 --> 01:52:46,240
Speaker 3: media cesspool because of all of the steaks that are

2185
01:52:46,320 --> 01:52:48,479
Speaker 3: you know, stakes are high, and guys want to get

2186
01:52:48,600 --> 01:52:51,000
Speaker 3: their picks where they want to get him. And I've

2187
01:52:51,000 --> 01:52:54,200
Speaker 3: heard this a lot. I've heard a lot of really smart,

2188
01:52:54,280 --> 01:52:58,679
Speaker 3: talented people tell me that teams will intentionally release bad

2189
01:52:58,680 --> 01:53:04,160
Speaker 3: information intentionally to manipulate the draft. Yeah, and I understand

2190
01:53:04,240 --> 01:53:08,759
Speaker 3: why they do it, but the cost, like the cost

2191
01:53:08,760 --> 01:53:11,639
Speaker 3: of it is you are hurting these kids now you're

2192
01:53:11,680 --> 01:53:14,360
Speaker 3: helping your team maybe, but you're hurting the kids, and

2193
01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:15,519
Speaker 3: there's a human element to it.

2194
01:53:15,560 --> 01:53:17,200
Speaker 1: In this business, you remove the human element for the

2195
01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:17,759
Speaker 1: most part.

2196
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:19,960
Speaker 3: The things that I was that I had an issue

2197
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:24,320
Speaker 3: with Adie Mitchell I think had like a diabetes issue

2198
01:53:24,439 --> 01:53:28,679
Speaker 3: or something like a medical issue that got really played

2199
01:53:28,760 --> 01:53:32,839
Speaker 3: up before the draft that I thought was a violation

2200
01:53:32,920 --> 01:53:35,720
Speaker 3: of his hippo laws first of all, and also just

2201
01:53:36,439 --> 01:53:40,160
Speaker 3: really like low like that there's a way to say, yeah,

2202
01:53:40,200 --> 01:53:41,680
Speaker 3: you know, we're not this high on this kid, we

2203
01:53:41,760 --> 01:53:45,439
Speaker 3: think he's maybe character whatever, whatever, when you're saying we

2204
01:53:45,479 --> 01:53:47,639
Speaker 3: don't like this kid because he's got this medical issue

2205
01:53:47,640 --> 01:53:53,120
Speaker 3: that really isn't relevant to football unless you really play

2206
01:53:53,160 --> 01:53:56,599
Speaker 3: it forward like he was born with this and I

2207
01:53:57,720 --> 01:54:00,679
Speaker 3: it is really bad. The anonymous nature of it makes

2208
01:54:00,720 --> 01:54:04,800
Speaker 3: it worse. But the way that they undercut these kids

2209
01:54:04,840 --> 01:54:09,280
Speaker 3: before the draft, Yeah, it takes a lot of intestinal

2210
01:54:09,320 --> 01:54:13,280
Speaker 3: fortitude to rise above that. Now the best athletes will

2211
01:54:13,360 --> 01:54:16,160
Speaker 3: use it as fuel, and that, frankly is what makes

2212
01:54:16,200 --> 01:54:18,599
Speaker 3: them the greatest athletes of our time is they're able

2213
01:54:18,640 --> 01:54:21,479
Speaker 3: to take that negative and channel it into a positive.

2214
01:54:22,080 --> 01:54:26,120
Speaker 3: But it has become a really dark process. In the

2215
01:54:26,160 --> 01:54:28,760
Speaker 3: weeks and months leading up to the draft because of

2216
01:54:28,920 --> 01:54:31,840
Speaker 3: how high the stakes are and these kids unfortunately are

2217
01:54:31,840 --> 01:54:32,760
Speaker 3: treated like fodder.

2218
01:54:33,360 --> 01:54:38,800
Speaker 2: Well, I'll say this real fast, is I can understand it.

2219
01:54:38,920 --> 01:54:43,680
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's okay, but I understand if you're

2220
01:54:43,720 --> 01:54:47,320
Speaker 2: talking trash about a player that you're trying to get

2221
01:54:47,640 --> 01:54:50,240
Speaker 2: sure or I have the price drop in terms of

2222
01:54:50,240 --> 01:54:54,160
Speaker 2: when you're selecting him. I get it. It's weird, but

2223
01:54:54,480 --> 01:54:58,080
Speaker 2: at least get it. It's like negative recruiting in college. Yep,

2224
01:54:58,120 --> 01:55:00,480
Speaker 2: Like that goes on the thing that I I won't buy.

2225
01:55:00,560 --> 01:55:03,920
Speaker 2: Some of this is just cover for all these scouts

2226
01:55:04,040 --> 01:55:08,680
Speaker 2: or coaches or draft analyst guys or whatever to talk

2227
01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:11,680
Speaker 2: trash about Caleb Williams. Unless you're with the Bears organization,

2228
01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:14,720
Speaker 2: you weren't drafting him, you know what I'm saying, Like, yep,

2229
01:55:14,880 --> 01:55:17,000
Speaker 2: you at least have to put your name on it

2230
01:55:17,480 --> 01:55:21,640
Speaker 2: if it's not for gain for your team and saying, oh,

2231
01:55:21,680 --> 01:55:25,000
Speaker 2: this guy you know is medical and you're like, yeah,

2232
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:27,680
Speaker 2: we're probably gonna get him in the second round now, right, Like, yeah,

2233
01:55:27,720 --> 01:55:30,440
Speaker 2: if you're talking trash about Caleb, he's a first overall

2234
01:55:30,520 --> 01:55:33,480
Speaker 2: pick man. So I think some of that is cover. Hey,

2235
01:55:33,560 --> 01:55:37,200
Speaker 2: he's shared Smith FSR betting analyst. I'm Brian No. Coming

01:56:41,440 --> 01:56:43,200
Speaker 2: All right, Jared, We'll start with you, man, what are

2253
01:56:43,200 --> 01:56:43,600
Speaker 2: you thinking?

2254
01:56:43,880 --> 01:56:46,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go a little early nerfy action here and

2255
01:56:46,560 --> 01:56:49,080
Speaker 3: I usually I'm kind of crazy because I like the

2256
01:56:49,200 --> 01:56:51,760
Speaker 3: yur fie anytime the Dodgers are playing. But this total

2257
01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:55,000
Speaker 3: uh Dodgers Blue JAYSUS game starts in about oh, I

2258
01:56:55,040 --> 01:56:57,880
Speaker 3: don't know hour or so actually really soon might starts

2259
01:56:57,880 --> 01:57:01,440
Speaker 3: sooner and now, so get this bed in now, glass now, Kokuchi,

2260
01:57:01,600 --> 01:57:03,640
Speaker 3: that's your pitching matchup today, So we'll go no run

2261
01:57:03,680 --> 01:57:06,600
Speaker 3: first inning here obviously, Glass now enough said the guy's

2262
01:57:06,640 --> 01:57:10,240
Speaker 3: fantastic four and one Nurphy record this year. He's expected

2263
01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:13,240
Speaker 3: fIF in the first inning, one of those Nerds stats

2264
01:57:13,280 --> 01:57:16,440
Speaker 3: I love, very low. Kakuchi also five starts this year,

2265
01:57:16,480 --> 01:57:17,760
Speaker 3: hasn't a lot of run in the first inning.

2266
01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:20,800
Speaker 1: He's got okay numbers against Otani. Of course, the Dodgers

2267
01:57:20,800 --> 01:57:21,960
Speaker 1: bored a bunch of runs yesterday.

2268
01:57:21,960 --> 01:57:24,320
Speaker 3: I think the early start time in Toronto gives us

2269
01:57:24,360 --> 01:57:25,200
Speaker 3: a sleepy start.

2270
01:57:25,280 --> 01:57:26,200
Speaker 1: So we'll go no run.

2271
01:57:26,080 --> 01:57:29,320
Speaker 3: First inning Toronto and La d and I will also

2272
01:57:29,360 --> 01:57:30,560
Speaker 3: give you the nerfy in Miami.

2273
01:57:30,680 --> 01:57:32,160
Speaker 1: This is a popular one. We bet this a lot

2274
01:57:32,240 --> 01:57:32,760
Speaker 1: last year.

2275
01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:35,240
Speaker 3: We're gonna go back to the well a lot this

2276
01:57:35,280 --> 01:57:37,720
Speaker 3: summer because the Marlins are starting to hit that tank mode.

2277
01:57:38,080 --> 01:57:41,760
Speaker 3: Good pitching matchup today, too really young, Edward Cabrera flame

2278
01:57:41,880 --> 01:57:46,360
Speaker 3: fireballer for Miami, and Mitchell Parker, who played pitch really

2279
01:57:46,360 --> 01:57:48,720
Speaker 3: well in his debut at Dodgers Stadium.

2280
01:57:48,920 --> 01:57:50,600
Speaker 1: He has been fantastic as well.

2281
01:57:50,840 --> 01:57:54,920
Speaker 3: So we'll go Mitchell Parker, Edward Cabrera, Marlins Nationals nurfy

2282
01:57:55,400 --> 01:57:57,360
Speaker 3: and Dodgers Blue Jay's Nurfy.

2283
01:57:57,440 --> 01:58:01,360
Speaker 1: And then, guys, the White Sox won game yesterday? Can

2284
01:58:01,400 --> 01:58:02,200
Speaker 1: you believe that?

2285
01:58:02,720 --> 01:58:06,720
Speaker 3: So we are going to absolutely fade that train because

2286
01:58:06,760 --> 01:58:08,480
Speaker 3: be're basically I lost a lot of money fading in

2287
01:58:08,480 --> 01:58:10,080
Speaker 3: the White Sox last night. We got to get it

2288
01:58:10,080 --> 01:58:13,480
Speaker 3: back tonight. So I will take a raise laying it

2289
01:58:13,520 --> 01:58:15,040
Speaker 3: one and a half on the run line. It's like

2290
01:58:15,080 --> 01:58:17,840
Speaker 3: a minus one forty bet there because there's a very

2291
01:58:17,840 --> 01:58:19,520
Speaker 3: little chance I think that the White Sox went too

2292
01:58:19,520 --> 01:58:19,840
Speaker 3: in a row.

2293
01:58:20,640 --> 01:58:24,680
Speaker 2: Okay, I would agree with you on that logic. Would

2294
01:58:24,680 --> 01:58:27,560
Speaker 2: you see the White Sox not just win, but score

2295
01:58:27,600 --> 01:58:28,440
Speaker 2: a bunch of runs?

2296
01:58:28,520 --> 01:58:32,320
Speaker 1: You're like, whoa, what.

2297
01:58:31,160 --> 01:58:35,600
Speaker 2: What's going on right now? Okay give me the Celtics. Okay,

2298
01:58:36,040 --> 01:58:38,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna lay the nine and a half. I know

2299
01:58:39,200 --> 01:58:41,760
Speaker 2: it's like, all right, the Heat just won. If they

2300
01:58:41,800 --> 01:58:46,320
Speaker 2: shot the freaking lights out man twenty three made three pointers.

2301
01:58:46,320 --> 01:58:47,960
Speaker 1: That's insane.

2302
01:58:48,640 --> 01:58:51,040
Speaker 2: I just think the Celtics will be locked in. I

2303
01:58:51,080 --> 01:58:53,120
Speaker 2: think they'll be out for blood today. I'm gonna lay

2304
01:58:53,120 --> 01:58:56,560
Speaker 2: the nine and a half. Give me the uh the

2305
01:58:56,600 --> 01:59:00,920
Speaker 2: prop bet on CJ McCollum. Okay, I'm gonna take over

2306
01:59:00,960 --> 01:59:05,360
Speaker 2: his par, points, rebounds and assists. It's at thirty one

2307
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:09,560
Speaker 2: and a half. Look, man, the guy is overdue for

2308
01:59:09,640 --> 01:59:12,600
Speaker 2: a good game. I like how Okac defense. They get

2309
01:59:12,640 --> 01:59:16,240
Speaker 2: after you, but at some point cee J. McCollum is

2310
01:59:16,240 --> 01:59:18,280
Speaker 2: gonna put it together. I think he's too good of

2311
01:59:18,320 --> 01:59:22,400
Speaker 2: an offensive player to continuously struggle. I think he breaks

2312
01:59:22,400 --> 01:59:26,680
Speaker 2: out today home game. Give me the over par and

2313
01:59:26,720 --> 01:59:30,960
Speaker 2: then for my final act, I will go with the

2314
01:59:31,080 --> 01:59:34,280
Speaker 2: Nuggets to just put the Lakers out of their misery. Okay,

2315
01:59:35,160 --> 01:59:38,440
Speaker 2: I think that Jokic is just too much. I'll lay

2316
01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:41,920
Speaker 2: the three and a half. I don't love it, but

2317
01:59:42,040 --> 01:59:45,560
Speaker 2: I just think that the spirit is broken for the Lakers.

2318
01:59:45,640 --> 01:59:48,560
Speaker 2: Are they gonna go crazy just to avoid the sweep

2319
01:59:48,560 --> 01:59:52,520
Speaker 2: and get on a plane to play at altitude? And

2320
01:59:52,600 --> 01:59:55,480
Speaker 2: even if they bring great effort, Denvers is better. So

2321
01:59:55,560 --> 01:59:57,760
Speaker 2: I'll lay the three and a half there as well.

2322
01:59:57,880 --> 02:00:02,600
Speaker 2: So a very chalky audition for me over here. And

2323
02:00:02,720 --> 02:00:05,040
Speaker 2: also if we throw in richest picks.

2324
02:00:04,920 --> 02:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say he gave us some picks

2325
02:00:06,400 --> 02:00:06,800
Speaker 1: last night.

2326
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, not with us. Today, he's going the opposite. He's

2327
02:00:09,080 --> 02:00:11,800
Speaker 2: going dogs. He's got Miami plus nine and a half.

2328
02:00:12,400 --> 02:00:15,360
Speaker 2: He's got the Pelicans plus one and a half. He's

2329
02:00:15,360 --> 02:00:18,120
Speaker 2: got the Calves plus two and a half in Atlanta.

2330
02:00:18,720 --> 02:00:19,680
Speaker 2: You like the Calves today?

2331
02:00:19,680 --> 02:00:21,760
Speaker 3: I like the Calves, But I mean I like buying

2332
02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:25,760
Speaker 3: teams off blowouts. Yeah, like buying a good team off

2333
02:00:25,760 --> 02:00:27,440
Speaker 3: a blowout is is never.

2334
02:00:27,280 --> 02:00:28,120
Speaker 1: A bad bet.

2335
02:00:28,880 --> 02:00:32,280
Speaker 2: The power of embarrassment is real, especially with the Pros.

2336
02:00:33,200 --> 02:00:34,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if we run it back for Game

2337
02:00:35,040 --> 02:00:37,760
Speaker 2: four with the Suns, though, you know, maybe the Sons

2338
02:00:37,800 --> 02:00:38,520
Speaker 2: are the exception.

2339
02:00:38,920 --> 02:00:43,600
Speaker 1: So we'll see Sons and four. Everybody have a good day.

2340
02:00:43,600 --> 02:00:44,320
Speaker 1: We'll see you
