Speaker 1: you can rely on legal Zoom for legal health. Visit
Speaker 1: legal zoom dot com today. Take care of the things
Speaker 1: you need to get done without having to leave your home.
Speaker 1: That's legal. Zoom dot Com spent a lot of the
Speaker 1: weekend trying to monitor what's going on in the Big Ten.
Speaker 1: And you had a march yesterday. You had Jim Harball
Speaker 1: out there. I believe it was yesterday or the day before,
Speaker 1: but he was out there basically saying, free the Big Ten,
Speaker 1: let us play football here. High school football Michigan is
Speaker 1: being played, high school football in Ohio is being played.
Speaker 1: NFL football is being played in those states. So I
Speaker 1: reached out to my source, of course, has been a
Speaker 1: fountain of information, the same person who told me about
Speaker 1: the Big Ten and Pac twelve that they would be
Speaker 1: shutting the season down. And I corresponded with him over
Speaker 1: the weekend and we were talking about what it's going
Speaker 1: to be like to play football college football, and he said,
Speaker 1: you know, it's going to be strange. Teams won't know
Speaker 1: until Saturday who will be available after tests on Friday
Speaker 1: in college football. And then I said, what's going on
Speaker 1: with the Big Ten? He said, things in the Big
Speaker 1: Ten haven't changed. Coaches and athletic directors want to start
Speaker 1: the medical community is pushing things out. They want to
Speaker 1: look at now November. Now, I gave you October tenth,
Speaker 1: and that came from another source. October tenth was we
Speaker 1: can still play maybe a ten game schedule and still
Speaker 1: get into the postseason. That's why October tenth was an
Speaker 1: important date. You could get ten weeks, there would be
Speaker 1: no bye weeks. You get ten weeks, and then Ohio
Speaker 1: State and or Wisconsin maybe would qualify for the final four.
Speaker 1: My source said that November gives teams in the Big
Speaker 1: ten a chance to keep most of their players and
Speaker 1: they can finish sooner. So this season in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one isn't affected. It will probably be eight games, if
Speaker 1: that's even possible. Who knows what happens with the PAC twelve.
Speaker 1: You had Commissioner Scott on your show. He's fighting for
Speaker 1: his job. He needed some positive news with testing. My
Speaker 1: source goes on to say the NCAA is going to
Speaker 1: a basketball starts in November and they have everything else
Speaker 1: shut down until January. Doesn't make any sense. So yesterday
Speaker 1: I followed up to say any other news here, and
Speaker 1: he said it's clear COVID will be here through twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one and teams are going to have to live
Speaker 1: with its. Schools are practicing but they're very split right now.
Speaker 1: I spoke to a head coach today, very frustrated because
Speaker 1: the commissioner has gone silent into Big Ten. Players don't
Speaker 1: want to practice again for a shortened season that will
Speaker 1: be unpredictable. They're running out of time for that October start.
Speaker 1: Heard the Michigan president will not budge on an early
Speaker 1: start in the fall. So that's the information I have,
Speaker 1: and maybe it's not moving things forward, but that's a
Speaker 1: bad sign for the Big Ten. I haven't heard from
Speaker 1: the commissioner. There were reports that maybe we were going
Speaker 1: to have a vote with the presidents and chancellors from
Speaker 1: all the schools. They would have a revote, But as
Speaker 1: I was told, the commissioner needs to know what their
Speaker 1: answers are. He needs to know the vote before the vote,
Speaker 1: because he doesn't want to go in there and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they come back and it's eleven
Speaker 1: to three or twelve to two. He wants to make
Speaker 1: sure do we have enough coaches, Well, I shouldn't say coaches,
Speaker 1: presidents and chancellors who want their schools to be out
Speaker 1: there playing. You're not going to have Maryland play. This
Speaker 1: is what I was told yesterday, Maryland no, Rutgers no,
Speaker 1: Northwestern Illinois no, and probably not Michigan and Michigan State.
Speaker 1: So therefore you're not having football in the Big Ten
Speaker 1: unless we're going back to the Big Eight, which is
Speaker 1: an old conference that became the Big Twelve. But that
Speaker 1: was what I was told yesterday. Doesn't look good and
Speaker 1: you're running out of time, and they're players who are
Speaker 1: not going to want to play. It was stressed so strongly.
Speaker 1: It was like my source that these marquee players will
Speaker 1: not play in the spring. They're not going to want
Speaker 1: to play in January. Start in January because their thing,
Speaker 1: why am I going to play? And if you're gonna
Speaker 1: let's say you're a sophomore, so you're gonna play in
Speaker 1: a truncated season, then you got to turn around and
Speaker 1: you've got to play in the fall again. You know,
Speaker 1: they're worried about what their pro potential is going to be.
Speaker 1: They don't want their stock to go down. That's why
Speaker 1: you've seen some players go, you know, this is as
Speaker 1: good as it's going to get. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: want to risk it just to be able to play
Speaker 1: of eight games in January, and they'll turn out to
Speaker 1: be glorified exhibition games. But that's just that's the information
Speaker 1: I got from my source over the weekend and even
Speaker 1: this morning. Yeah, Pa, here's something I would love for
Speaker 1: us to be able to ask the Big ten commission
Speaker 1: or anyone involved with this, how is it safe to
Speaker 1: have players practice for games that don't exist? If there's
Speaker 1: no games, why allow practices which would endangered them from
Speaker 1: a physical standpoint, Because practicing, having contact practices for games
Speaker 1: that don't exist is as stupid as it gets because
Speaker 1: you're risking both COVID transaction without the the reward of
Speaker 1: the game, and an actual physical injury of the practice
Speaker 1: which there is contact in practice and no game at
Speaker 1: the end of the week. That's fascinating. You have different agendas,
Speaker 1: And I'll go back to the conversation I had with
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve commissioner Larry Scott last week. He basically
Speaker 1: called out the presidents of the three Power five conferences
Speaker 1: that are playing because he said, we all have the
Speaker 1: same medical information and paraphrasing, they're being careless in the
Speaker 1: other power conferences, the Big twelve, ACC and SEC. It's
Speaker 1: not good. It's as different agendas different parts of the
Speaker 1: country and I'm becoming less confident we're going to see
Speaker 1: football in the Big ten by the end of the year.
Speaker 1: And I don't know about PAC twelve. I think they're trying,
Speaker 1: but it feels like that's going to be maybe January,
Speaker 1: and you're not gonna have to worry about weather as
Speaker 1: much in the PAC twelve. But the PAC twelve and
Speaker 1: Big ten are joined at the hip. You don't want
Speaker 1: the Big ten to start playing in them the PAC
Speaker 1: twelve dozen't because they both shut down at this same time.
Speaker 1: But when Larry Scott was on, he said, we're playing.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be playing in January. Okay, but I don't
Speaker 1: know if the Big ten's going to be playing, and
Speaker 1: if they are, what it's going to look like. All Right,
Speaker 1: we'll come up with a poll question. Play of the day,
Speaker 1: stat of the Day, Your phone calls are always welcome,
Speaker 1: Best and worst of the weekend. What you saw that
Speaker 1: you liked you didn't like some of the headlines. Heat
Speaker 1: are up three games to one of the Bucks. Lakers.
Speaker 1: Rockets tieder to game apiece. They got Game three coming
Speaker 1: up tonight. Heat Bucks have Game five. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: the Greek freak if he can play. How much do
Speaker 1: you playing or do you just sit him? Celtics up
Speaker 1: three on the Raptors, three, two on the Raptors, Clippers one.
Speaker 1: Last night, they're up two games to one on the Nuggets.
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson got paid. He finally finished his big deal
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Texans gave him a four year extension
Speaker 1: about one hundred and sixty million dollars. And you know,
Speaker 1: I'm happy for him. He's an easy player to root for.
Speaker 1: But you know, you start to look at the state
Speaker 1: of quarterbacking in the league, and I think we're in
Speaker 1: pretty good hands. You got Patrick Mahomes, you got Watson,
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Carson Wentz, Dak Prescott, got a lot of
Speaker 1: guys there a lot of potential. And then you got
Speaker 1: the old guards still hanging on. Tom Brady, Drew Brees,
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson seems old. And there's
Speaker 1: a good chance we're seeing several Hall of famers at
Speaker 1: different points of their careers and what hopefully will be
Speaker 1: a special season at the sports most important position. And
Speaker 1: I couldn't help it. Wonder when I saw that Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson signed, how I don't want to say stupid. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys are, but I'm trying to find the right word
Speaker 1: to say. I don't think they approached this the right
Speaker 1: way with Dak Prescott, because let's go back to April
Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen, Dak Prescott and the Cowboys should have
Speaker 1: been on the verge of getting a deal done. Now,
Speaker 1: keep in mind, at the time, Aaron Rodgers thirty three
Speaker 1: and a half million, Matt Ryan thirty, Kirk d Cousins
Speaker 1: at twenty eight million, Jimmy Garoppolo twenty seven and a half. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe you could have put him in there in the
Speaker 1: middle between Rogers and Matt Ryan. So maybe thirty four
Speaker 1: thirty five million dollars per season. Fast forward to seventeen
Speaker 1: months later, you have seven quarterbacks who have signed deals
Speaker 1: for thirty two million dollars or more on average, Mahomes
Speaker 1: and Watson obviously forty five and thirty nine million dollars.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna ask Dak Prescott to take a home
Speaker 1: hometown discount. How are you going to get him a
Speaker 1: long term deal here? And granted, you know, maybe you
Speaker 1: don't look at Dak Prescott and he's certainly not Mahomes
Speaker 1: and probably not to Sean Watson either, but you know
Speaker 1: the salary cap is going to go down in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, It could go down considerably. Now you're gonna
Speaker 1: try to get him signed up for what how much?
Speaker 1: How long? By waiting, they're going to cost themselves considerably
Speaker 1: more money. And you can't do that with a quarterback.
Speaker 1: You sign him, you bite the bullet, and you know
Speaker 1: eventually you look back and you go, you know what,
Speaker 1: we probably got a bargain. I mean San Francisco might
Speaker 1: look at Jimmy Garoppol and say twenty seven and a
Speaker 1: half million, we got a bargain. I mean, Jared Goff's
Speaker 1: making thirty three and a half million dollars. Timing is
Speaker 1: everything when it comes to your quarterback. The Chiefs will
Speaker 1: get a bargain on Patrick Mahomes, pay him move on.
Speaker 1: And Dallas waited and waited and waited and drag this out.
Speaker 1: And now you're gonna give him more bargaining power because
Speaker 1: you brought in, You got Cede Lamb for him. You
Speaker 1: still have a good offensive line. Zeke Elliott is still
Speaker 1: a marquee running back. You got a couple of wide
Speaker 1: receivers there. Now you got Mike McCarthy, new head coach,
Speaker 1: You're just you're basically saying to Dak Prescott, go on
Speaker 1: out there and drive up your price, because if he
Speaker 1: performs well, you could have want forty million dollars a
Speaker 1: year and you could have had him probably for seven
Speaker 1: million less. And if and if you start to extrapolate,
Speaker 1: you probably cost yourself over thirty million dollars by waiting
Speaker 1: and try to do that. When the salary cap goes down,
Speaker 1: he's gonna want money that's commensurate to the other players
Speaker 1: at his position. And I don't think he's DeShawn Watson.
Speaker 1: I think Deshaun is more valuable to his team. But
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean anything. If you start to look at
Speaker 1: these salaries, it doesn't mean anything. It's next guy up,
Speaker 1: pay him, move on, or get rid of him, like
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota. Don't pay them. But if you're
Speaker 1: gonna keep them, you're gonna pay them. Never When Kirk
Speaker 1: d Cousins got eighty four million dollars guaranteed and he
Speaker 1: got franchise a couple of times, and I went, will
Speaker 1: we look at that as a bargain price? He's making
Speaker 1: twenty seven million dollars a year. And now you might go, boy,
Speaker 1: that's not a bargain. It is in today's NFL with
Speaker 1: that position. Do I want to pay Kirk Cousin twenty
Speaker 1: seven million? No? But then who am I paying to
Speaker 1: come in and play that position? Do I want to
Speaker 1: pay Jared Goff thirty three and a half million dollars? No?
Speaker 1: There's only a couple of guys that I look at
Speaker 1: and I go, Okay, that guy is How many of
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks are worth the money you pay them. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's starting to become almost like NBA salaries, where you go, wait,
Speaker 1: John Wall makes forty two million dollars a year. Either
Speaker 1: pay him a max or you find somebody else. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's really what it has to be. But but Dallas did,
Speaker 1: and Jerry Jones is obviously a great businessman. I don't
Speaker 1: understand the logic on this one, and maybe there is
Speaker 1: no logic on this. Yeah, po, And the only way
Speaker 1: this works out for Jerry Jones and the Cowboys is
Speaker 1: if Dak Prescott has a very bad season and they
Speaker 1: can now move on from him financially free. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the only way this works out. But I wondered if
Speaker 1: they truly wanted him. You know, I was trying to
Speaker 1: get a good source on it, and it felt like
Speaker 1: people weren't sure if Jerry Jones was all in on
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, and I go like he was biting his time,
Speaker 1: Like can I get through another year to see if
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott truly is a franchise quarterback? And I think
Speaker 1: that that's what happened with Washington. You know, they were
Speaker 1: looking at Kirk Cousins, is he a franchise quarterback? And
Speaker 1: I still don't know if he's a franchise quarterback. But
Speaker 1: I just look at the logic, the business logic or
Speaker 1: acumen and the Cowboys, and I don't understand it. Yeah's McLeman.
Speaker 1: I was just saying that Kirk Cousins and Dak seem
Speaker 1: to have a lot in common, Like they're gonna have
Speaker 1: a big number, but they can't win that big game.
Speaker 1: That's what you said about Dak. Remember you were really
Speaker 1: the stats against great team. He's unbelievable when they win, yeah,
Speaker 1: but he is so subpar when they lose. Yes, But
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy has had great quarterback numbers, Like did you
Speaker 1: see Aaron Rodgers stats take a nose dive after he left, Like,
Speaker 1: they always get a lot of pass attempts, so he's
Speaker 1: gonna have big numbers, which is gonna get him paid well. Also,
Speaker 1: you brought in a new coach in Green Bay with
Speaker 1: the new philosophy that they want to be more like
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers, So that's different. But
Speaker 1: you're right, Mike McCarthy, I think will help Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1: But Jason Garrett is a former quarterback, offensive minded guy,
Speaker 1: and that didn't go well. Yeah mc yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1: He always had Tony Romo had monster numbers under Garrett,
Speaker 1: so you're right, and so is Dak. Dak's numbers are
Speaker 1: always great. Yeah, yeah, Poe. But who could look worse
Speaker 1: in the situation. Bill O'Brien, who's the GM kind of Now, well,
Speaker 1: you didn't screw this up, but he kind of did.
Speaker 1: Be for you know, his plan of getting rid of
Speaker 1: New Hopkins, the wide receiver because he can't pay him
Speaker 1: and pay Deshaun Watson. Okay, that makes sense, but you
Speaker 1: got nothing in that trade, very little in that trade
Speaker 1: for the player. He didn't. He couldn't screw up the
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, right deal, That that party's good. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, I don't believe it. Well, we
Speaker 1: couldn't sign Watson and DeAndre Hopkins. I was told that
Speaker 1: this was a divorce that was in the making. But
Speaker 1: get a better deal. I get a better player than
Speaker 1: David Johnson. That was my my whole issue with this. Okay,
Speaker 1: you want to trade him. You're trying to tell me
Speaker 1: you can't get something of equal value in return for
Speaker 1: a guy who's probably in the top three with wide receivers.
Speaker 1: This seemed kind of strange. McLevin. Poll question for me, Okay,
Speaker 1: I have a good one based on what you were
Speaker 1: just saying after the break, And I'll say good. I mean,
Speaker 1: clicks quarterbacks NFL get ready, NFL all time highest average
Speaker 1: yards per pass attempt. You have two current players who
Speaker 1: are on this list in the top five. Two in
Speaker 1: the top five. You won't get the other three. NFL
Speaker 1: all time highest average yards per pass attempt. We'll have
Speaker 1: that for you coming up. McLevin has his hot poll
Speaker 1: question as well, and we'll dive into the heat Bucks
Speaker 1: Game five coming up tonight, and do you play the
Speaker 1: Greek freak in this game? I got a strong opinion
Speaker 1: on this Lakers Rockets Game three. I have no idea
Speaker 1: what to expect in Game three. None And once again
Speaker 1: we'll check in with Peter King from NBC Sports. People'll
Speaker 1: join us next hour with his playoff predictions eighteen after

Speaker 1: ready for your poll question. I teased the NFL all
Speaker 1: time highest average yards per pass attempt. Number one on
Speaker 1: the list. Yeah, Paul, this is a name from the past.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a shot. It's an older guy. If
Speaker 1: it's from the past, he's an order, but like an
Speaker 1: older older guy. Yeah. Darryl Lamonica from the No Raider.
Speaker 1: Oh Auto Graham, Oh yeah, really old old. Second on
Speaker 1: the list, Patrick Mahomes. Third on the list, Sid Luckman,
Speaker 1: another old old quarterback. Fourth on the list, Another old
Speaker 1: old quarterback, Norm Van Brocklin. Fifth on the list is
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, which I found surprising. Mahomes second. This is
Speaker 1: a minimum one thousand pounce attempts. All time highest average
Speaker 1: yards per pass attempt Deshaun Watson is fifth on that list.
Speaker 1: I'll have my Super Bowl prediction coming up on Thursday
Speaker 1: as we get ready for the start of the NFL season.
Speaker 1: All right, mclovian poll question. Okay, I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: three groups of quarterbacks, and you're gonna tell me which
Speaker 1: group is most likely to win the Super Bowl without
Speaker 1: revealing your pick. I'll give you the old guys Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger, the young guys Mahomes, Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson and Deshaun Watson. Or the medium guys Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson. And is there anyone I'm leaving out
Speaker 1: of the medium guys list? It feels like they're the two.
Speaker 1: They're not old, they're not young, but there are super
Speaker 1: Bowl possibilities. Dak Prescott, I will there were a lot
Speaker 1: of young guys Wentzon Prescott. I didn't know if they
Speaker 1: belonged to Carson Wentzon and Dak Prescott. Are they and
Speaker 1: the young guys or are they the medium guys? I
Speaker 1: would say Dak is medium. What about Kirk Cousins. That's
Speaker 1: a good team, you know, I is he in that elite?
Speaker 1: Look at the names here, It's like Mahomes, Jackson Watson.
Speaker 1: But I have to look at the team as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I can't. I can't take out a quarterback from
Speaker 1: a team that has a chance to win the Super Bowl. True,
Speaker 1: and Dallas has a chance to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I mean they all have a chance, but better than
Speaker 1: average chance. Minnesota has a chance. What about that group
Speaker 1: with the old quarterbacks? Do the Bucks, Saints and Steelers?
Speaker 1: Are they in the Super Bowl picture? If everything goes
Speaker 1: well for Pittsburgh and that's saying a lot, they can
Speaker 1: win that division over Baltimore my opinion, if everything goes well,
Speaker 1: but it never does Saints and Buccaneers. I feel like
Speaker 1: everything has to go well for Tom Brady and everything's
Speaker 1: got to go well for Drew Bree. I mean, at
Speaker 1: that age, it's it's the degree of difficulty is already
Speaker 1: tough and pretty high. And Brady he's got weapons there
Speaker 1: and they were better at the end of the year.
Speaker 1: The Saints. I'm just I'm just not sure you Camaron
Speaker 1: got to get that contract situation, you know, figured out,
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's you know, the clock is ticking on
Speaker 1: these guys, so they add it even more, you know,
Speaker 1: is this breeze is last year? Is he going to
Speaker 1: take the TV job at NBC? So that pressure. Did
Speaker 1: you see where Taysom Hill is now the number two
Speaker 1: quarterback on the depth chart of New Orleans over Jamis Winston.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I think we're fascinated by potential
Speaker 1: and I think we look at Jamis Winston has damaged goods.
Speaker 1: He's still very talented, he just doesn't make smart decisions sometimes.
Speaker 1: And can you learn that? Can he learn to be
Speaker 1: smarter with the ball? Not force it in there? This
Speaker 1: is in Florida State. You got to think your way
Speaker 1: down the field, and I didn't think he did, certainly
Speaker 1: with Tampa Bay. But if you said Drew Brees is
Speaker 1: not going to play Week two, is Taysom Hill going
Speaker 1: to be your quarterback? I would say no. I would
Speaker 1: think I would think Jamis Winston would still be your quarterback.
Speaker 1: But Taysom Hill, who is the backup quarterback? And I
Speaker 1: think he's also on the kick return team as well.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many times you've had a quarterback
Speaker 1: who would be the backup quarterback but also he would
Speaker 1: be on the kick return team. But Taysom Hill is
Speaker 1: a and look there were times when and I guess
Speaker 1: you could say in that game against Minnesota, who was
Speaker 1: the best player on the field. But I don't know
Speaker 1: if he's a every down, every week quarterback. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'd love to see it, but I just don't think
Speaker 1: he is. Yeah, club, but remember the Saint reporter Jeff
Speaker 1: Duncan who said he's a Steve Young to Joe Montana.
Speaker 1: We've had Tuesdays reporters tell us that that Sean Payton
Speaker 1: has this idea Steve Young could throw the ball. Steve
Speaker 1: Young completed seventy percent of his passes. Taysom Hill was
Speaker 1: not a great college quarterback. But where these Sames reporters
Speaker 1: getting that from? Probably from Sean Payton. I'm guessing he
Speaker 1: Sean loves him, but I don't know. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: He wasn't a great college quarterback and that was four
Speaker 1: years ago. Is he one of those guys that can
Speaker 1: you put him on the field, can you keep him
Speaker 1: on the field? Can you find reps for him? Maybe?
Speaker 1: But I don't think he's the second coming of Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's even Colin Kaepernick. By the way,
Speaker 1: did you see Florio had an article he said zero
Speaker 1: interest in Colin Kaepernick. Remember it felt like there was
Speaker 1: a push by the commissioner that hey, teams are interested
Speaker 1: in him, And I went okay, I said at the time,
Speaker 1: and I firmly believed it. He'd never play football again.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's And as Flourio points out,
Speaker 1: why doesn't somebody just call Colin Kaepernick's bluff Because everybody
Speaker 1: keeps saying the same thing, that Kaepernick's not going to
Speaker 1: play unless he's a starter. Why not just go, hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna make you the number two or three quarterback here,
Speaker 1: come on in. And I don't know that the Patriots
Speaker 1: got Cam Newton for nothing. What if the Ravens or
Speaker 1: Steelers or Texans reached out and just said, come on in,
Speaker 1: be a backup quarterback, like, find out if he really
Speaker 1: wants to play. But as you know, Florio pointed out
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk that he says, per a source with
Speaker 1: knowledge of the situation, there was some fake interest expressed
Speaker 1: immediately after George Floyd's death, seemingly out of guilt. There's
Speaker 1: been zero interest expressed as to Kaepernick in months. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: m club with the you know, quarantining and injuries is
Speaker 1: the show preseason. I mean, they're going to go deep
Speaker 1: into QB charts. W wouldn't you want to sign him
Speaker 1: just as an option of a guy you know can
Speaker 1: run the balls. You're bringing in a lot more than
Speaker 1: just a quarterback. That's it, and these owners do not
Speaker 1: want to put up with that. It's a business. It's
Speaker 1: a business. Based on the current depth charts, the Saints
Speaker 1: have the oldest projected starting lineup in the NFL, average
Speaker 1: age of just over twenty eight years, so you can
Speaker 1: say now or never, and Breeze, of course skews that
Speaker 1: average age. But they're ready to win now. They have
Speaker 1: to win now. And if this is Breeze is last year, there,
Speaker 1: you know, even more pressure. And I just don't know.
Speaker 1: It's like if Philip Rivers was with the Colts ten
Speaker 1: years ago, or his arm from ten years ago, then
Speaker 1: I'd have a lot more confidence. I just don't know.
Speaker 1: As much as I like that coach and GM and
Speaker 1: the young talent they have Philip Rivers, is he capable
Speaker 1: of throwing three hundred passing yards a game? Does he
Speaker 1: have to throw? They brought in another running back and
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor from Wisconsin. Are they going to be a
Speaker 1: run first team. I like Pittman. I like him a lot.
Speaker 1: You know, can t Y Hilton stay healthy? Like you
Speaker 1: just start to handicap? And what I try not to
Speaker 1: do is look at what a team can't do. I
Speaker 1: want to know what you can do and how well
Speaker 1: you do it. Like Tennessee runs the football, you can't go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they got Ryan Tannehill. If they run the football,
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill all of a s all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you know, looks like a All Pro quarterback. But if
Speaker 1: you say they can't run, and now Ryan tannehis to
Speaker 1: throw the ball, then I'll go now. And they just
Speaker 1: brought in Jadeveon Clowney, which how strange is this offseason
Speaker 1: been for him? I thought he was going to Seattle,
Speaker 1: thought he was going to Baltimore, thought he was going
Speaker 1: to the Saints. Now he ends up with Tennessee. And
Speaker 1: I started to look back on that draft. Remember when
Speaker 1: Jadeveon Clowney, he was a can't miss members Pro Day.
Speaker 1: ESPN carried it, I think live and they just gushed
Speaker 1: over Jadeveon Clowney, and I just remember it felt like
Speaker 1: the enthusiasm for Jadavion Clowney is based off one play
Speaker 1: when he hit Vincent Smith of Michigan in the Outback
Speaker 1: Bowl and knocked his helmet off. Everybody went, oh my god.
Speaker 1: Daveon Clowney incredibly incredibly athletic. A source said when ja
Speaker 1: Daveon Clowney went into the NFL, he had no lower
Speaker 1: body strength, easy to push around, couldn't deny his speed,
Speaker 1: easy to push him around. And I thought, Okay, does
Speaker 1: does he gain weight? I'm like, I don't know. Can
Speaker 1: you become a larger body? And I think he's a
Speaker 1: good player. It almost feels like he's more of a
Speaker 1: run stopper than a pass rusher. I mean, he's not
Speaker 1: Jermaine member Um, the Greek or the Javon Curse. I
Speaker 1: was called him the Greek freak. He was another He
Speaker 1: was just the freak out of Florida. Now he was
Speaker 1: a great pass rusher. Yeah, mclovin, do you think that.
Speaker 1: I'm looking back at that draft, the Texans might have
Speaker 1: wanted to take a Khalil Mack, but the hype around
Speaker 1: Clowney made it like a safer number one overall pick.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they felt like they could pass.
Speaker 1: That was a bad draft by the way, but Khalil
Speaker 1: Mack out of Buffalo, and at the time, we didn't
Speaker 1: know much about the University of Buffalo. You know, in
Speaker 1: subsequent years we've realized they got a pretty good football
Speaker 1: program there. But Khalil Mack, it felt like was a
Speaker 1: was not a sure thing, a little bit of a reach.
Speaker 1: Whereas Jajavian Clowne him he's playing in the SEC. Do
Speaker 1: you see that hit against the Michigan running back? That
Speaker 1: was a horrible draft? Well, like every draft like it
Speaker 1: was horrible at the top. Does that mean it's a
Speaker 1: horrible it's Greg Robinson and Blake Bord. When you whiff
Speaker 1: at the top, that's pretty bad. I mean, you're always
Speaker 1: going to find those players where you go, oh, this
Speaker 1: guy got drafted in the fourth round. That guy got
Speaker 1: drafted in the third round. I understand that. But that's
Speaker 1: where you have Jadeveon Clowney. The Rams took an on,
Speaker 1: Greg Robinson, didn't he goes second, Blake Bortles went third,
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, Khalil Mack. After that, Mike Evans went there.
Speaker 1: But then you had didn't The Browns took Justin Gilbert.
Speaker 1: Is that right ninth pick in the draft, Johnny Manzelamers,
Speaker 1: I know Aaron Donald, Aaron Donald thirteen. You might have
Speaker 1: eight Hall of Famers in that first round. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at it. You have a lot, but they're lower. But
Speaker 1: ten guys who are out of football. Well, actually, Khalil Mack,
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, Zach Martin, Odell Beckham. Yeah, four guys, sorry, Ryan,
Speaker 1: Ryan Chase years in that. But you loved Ryan Chase year, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did. Yeah, he was. I just felt like he
Speaker 1: was the core of that Steeler defense. I really did. Yeah, Polly,
Speaker 1: if you go back, I'm looking at draft reviews the
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen draft. Nobody had anything against Clowney. They said,
Speaker 1: putting Clowney and walked together for the next seven or
Speaker 1: eight years means you can't double team either. Blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Yeah, Khalil Mack. The criticism was, how
Speaker 1: can we judge what he did against lower end competition.
Speaker 1: That was the caveat to not take him a little
Speaker 1: bit higher. Did you come up with your poll question?
Speaker 1: McLevin Well, I gave you those quarterback tiers. I have
Speaker 1: a couple. I have a couple of NBA questions slash
Speaker 1: pole questions. Too. I could save them if you'd like, No,
Speaker 1: you can hit me with him. Well, I mean, this
Speaker 1: isn't a poll question, but I do want to hear
Speaker 1: your take on whether Janis should play tonight. He's listed
Speaker 1: as questionable with his sprained right ankle. You're down three one,
Speaker 1: you went into overtime without the Greek freak to pick
Speaker 1: up that victory. I don't want to play him. I
Speaker 1: wanted to play him more minutes and maybe they wouldn't
Speaker 1: have been in this position to begin with. And I
Speaker 1: don't wander to understand the logic here. You know, even
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton was it felt like on a minute's limit
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he went off last
Speaker 1: game and you know, had to play more and played wonderfully.
Speaker 1: I don't want to put I don't. I have to
Speaker 1: look at short term, long term, and I think you
Speaker 1: really have to be honest with your team and just
Speaker 1: how good they are, because I don't think they're better
Speaker 1: than the Heat. I thought the Heat had a great
Speaker 1: chance of winning this series when it started. But I
Speaker 1: don't want him out there if there's a chance that
Speaker 1: he can make it worse. Now, granted, it's just it's
Speaker 1: an ankle. It's not an achilles, not a knee. But
Speaker 1: I I don't want him out there. Yeah, I'm the
Speaker 1: club side poll question slash overreaction to the Bucks winning
Speaker 1: without him, is janis built for the playoffs? Well, he
Speaker 1: needs a signature move. In the regular season, you get
Speaker 1: to run up and down the floor. Postseason is about
Speaker 1: half court at some point you have to if you
Speaker 1: do a half court set, then the Greek freak, I
Speaker 1: think his dominance is greatly reduced. But if you let him,
Speaker 1: you know, run the floor, you're gonna have a really
Speaker 1: hard time with it. But I also have to look
Speaker 1: at the Greek freak and say, he's an unrestricted free
Speaker 1: agent after next season. Does this decision impact him in
Speaker 1: wanting to stay in Milwaukee or not wanting him to stay?
Speaker 1: And I think that's the real conundrum here. That's the
Speaker 1: dilemma because I have to ask him, do you want
Speaker 1: to play? Because I don't want to. I don't want
Speaker 1: to look at this and have anything that could be
Speaker 1: long term because I wanted to. I have to leave
Speaker 1: it up to him. And then if he says, look
Speaker 1: I shouldn't play it, I probably shouldn't play. That's when
Speaker 1: the coach goes, I'm going to take the bullet for you,
Speaker 1: and you got a season that's right around the corner.
Speaker 1: This isn't an injury in April, and I would not
Speaker 1: play him. I don't think you're the better team. I
Speaker 1: don't want him out there sixty percent. But look, even
Speaker 1: if he plays tonight and he plays well or they
Speaker 1: went like that, ankle injury doesn't go away just because
Speaker 1: you tape it up. You may shoot it up, you
Speaker 1: ice it, and you do all those things. That's one
Speaker 1: of those things that stays with you for a little
Speaker 1: while longer, and all it takes is a little tweak
Speaker 1: here or there. And if I'm the Heat, I'm going
Speaker 1: right at him, going at him every single time down
Speaker 1: the floor Bam out of bio boom, go after him,
Speaker 1: make him run, make him go side, making you know,
Speaker 1: not straight ahead, making cut, making work follow, whatever it is,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna work you, because hey, this is gamesmanship. Yeah, point,
Speaker 1: is there any chance the coaching staff could hold him
Speaker 1: out no matter what he wants to do. And they
Speaker 1: may even think that we may have a better chance
Speaker 1: to come back against the Heat because the Heat, you know,
Speaker 1: they're playing against a different lineup, a weird lineup with
Speaker 1: Jannis is out. Yeah, and that was weird because you know,
Speaker 1: there was a two point game at halftime, and it
Speaker 1: felt like Miami didn't know how to combat a Milwaukee
Speaker 1: Bucks team that didn't have the Greek freak count there.
Speaker 1: As strange as that is going to sound, the two
Speaker 1: time MVP not being there, Milwaukee became a more dangerous
Speaker 1: team or a tougher team to match up with, because
Speaker 1: the whole philosophy is get back on defense, set up
Speaker 1: this wall so the Greek freak can't get to the hoop.
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, you're doing that, are used
Speaker 1: to doing that, and that's your game plan, and then
Speaker 1: you don't have to do it. And Milwaukee was making shots,
Speaker 1: especially Chris Middleton. All right, let me take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll come back. We got our play of the day.
Speaker 1: We'll get phone calls, best and worst of the weekend,

Speaker 1: Jamal Murray courtesy of AM five twenty LA Sports five
Speaker 1: seventy LA Sports Mario. The replay showed Kawai's block was
Speaker 1: with one finger there. I think it was his middle
Speaker 1: finger too. Gave him the finger. Paul George led the
Speaker 1: way with thirty two points. Game four is tomorrow Night.
Speaker 1: Interesting exchange after the game. Patrick Beverlely, the Clippers guard,
Speaker 1: was talking about Joki and that he does a lot
Speaker 1: of flopping. Here is Patrick Beverly, he presents the same
Speaker 1: thing donts presents. Luca presents a lot of flail him,
Speaker 1: you know, puts a lot of pressures on the referees
Speaker 1: to make the right call. Okay, So then Jokich responded
Speaker 1: to Beverly's comments. Ya Nicole, Patrick Beverley said just a
Speaker 1: couple of minutes ago that you do a lot of
Speaker 1: flailing when you're on the board. That's why you get
Speaker 1: a lot of calls because it's curious if you had
Speaker 1: a reaction to that or what's a flailing means? Kind
Speaker 1: of throwing your arms trying to draw bowels. I guess
Speaker 1: they had one to six three throws. You have ten.
Speaker 1: I'm just showing the ref it's so far so he
Speaker 1: what is flailing? It's flailing your You just have a
Speaker 1: look at his face. He's like got just he's just smoldering. Yeah.

Speaker 1: John and Ohio Best and Worst of the Weekend, John,
Speaker 1: What do you have for me today? B b Hi? John?
Speaker 1: But how you doing great? What's on your mind? First time? Time? All? Right? Five?
Speaker 1: Nine one eighties VP of A Bets and Worst of
Speaker 1: the Weekend and a against the grain hot take whatever
Speaker 1: you wanna call here? Okay, bet Bets is Herbie on
Speaker 1: the call last night with the b YU Navy game.
Speaker 1: It feels like college footballs of facially back. My worst
Speaker 1: is actually from the last couple of weeks. Here, what's
Speaker 1: going on with Seaton not getting smashed with a pine
Speaker 1: the face? Oh, it's coming. He's got two pies coming
Speaker 1: his way. It's better when he doesn't know it's coming.
Speaker 1: That's like the whole The best part of the bit
Speaker 1: is not knowing when it's going to happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: The other Danets they took their pies to the face.
Speaker 1: Seaton doubled down, taking the Blazers that they wouldn't be
Speaker 1: eliminated by the Lakers, and they were. So he's got
Speaker 1: two pies coming his way. I still love that wheel
Speaker 1: of punishment when Seaton had five pies and he didn't
Speaker 1: know when he was going to get him, just to
Speaker 1: be able to hide behind the corner a door and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden jump out and smash him
Speaker 1: in the face. You see. It's a little more tricky
Speaker 1: here though, because at the other studio there was only
Speaker 1: really like two places you could walk Here, that's there's
Speaker 1: so many more spots yep and I might not be
Speaker 1: the one who's delivering, said poe Hey. Could be somebody
Speaker 1: else that's gonna be tricky, could be two minutes from now,
Speaker 1: two days from now, two weeks from now, two years
Speaker 1: from now, who knows. But there are two pies, two pies,
Speaker 1: two pies waiting for you. Mclovin. Did you go with
Speaker 1: the poll question? Yeah? I went with the old guys,
Speaker 1: the young guys, and the medium guys. Who's gonna win
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? And I routed out the medium guys Rogers, Russell,
Speaker 1: and Ryan just to go three yards with Matt Ryan,
Speaker 1: even though I don't think anyone thinks that Falcons are
Speaker 1: gonna win the Super Bowl? Okay, are they in the
Speaker 1: mix at all? I think they're in the mix for
Speaker 1: a playoff spot, Absolutely, I think quietly there in the mix.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's tough because you got Saints and Buccaneers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well used to Look can you have three teams in
Speaker 1: the playoffs from one division? You know, Detroit's getting a
Speaker 1: lot of love, by the way, believe it or not,
Speaker 1: the Lions getting a lot of love to make the
Speaker 1: playoffs this year when else club By the way, the
Speaker 1: winner of that poll is that it's a new guys,
Speaker 1: old guys and medium guys. Seventy four percent say the
Speaker 1: new guys Mahomes, Jackson, and Watson are more likely than Brady,
Speaker 1: Breese and Ben. Is that because a Mahomes I mean,
Speaker 1: is it's to chalk pick the Chiefs this year? I
Speaker 1: would imagine it would be. Yeah, I'm guessing in the AFC,
Speaker 1: you're probably looking at either Baltimore Kansas City. I've been
Speaker 1: reading a lot of Super Bowl picks from around the internet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not to influence you at all, but I've seen a
Speaker 1: lot of cults as their dark horse AFC team, and
Speaker 1: that seems like a stretch to me. Well, I think
Speaker 1: that the defense was a lot better than we thought.
Speaker 1: They got a young nucleus there. It's just I don't
Speaker 1: know about Philip Rivers. I don't know. As much as
Speaker 1: I like him, I don't know if the game is
Speaker 1: on the line, that he can do what some of
Speaker 1: these other quarterbacks do, and that is have a great
Speaker 1: arm to be able to lead a team down the
Speaker 1: field Like I just don't know if he can at
Speaker 1: this age. And I don't know about Drew Brees believe
Speaker 1: it or not doing the same thing and I Brady
Speaker 1: was so bad at the end of last season. He's
Speaker 1: got weapons. I just want to know, do have arm
Speaker 1: strength like Roethlisberger coming back from surgery? How strong is
Speaker 1: your arm? Because all of these guys can throw it,
Speaker 1: but it feels like those older guys. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Rogers I still have confidence in, but you know, he's,
Speaker 1: what's seven years younger than Brady. He hasn't had I mean,
Speaker 1: he had shoulder surgery, but less mileage, less damage on
Speaker 1: his body there. But the older quarterbacks breeze Brady, even Roethlisberger,
Speaker 1: just because coming back from a severe injury. I don't know.
Speaker 1: And Philip Rivers hasn't been injured. It's just that arm
Speaker 1: has really never been strong to begin with. Peter King
Speaker 1: will join us in about twenty minutes get his Super
Speaker 1: Bowl prediction. More phone calls, best and Worst to the
