Speaker 2: The Dodgers have opened their season in Japan against the Cubs,
Speaker 2: and it counts. So they're going to play a couple
Speaker 2: of games there and then they come back and then
Speaker 2: they resume spring training. Do I want us exporting opening day?
Speaker 3: I don't. I understand.
Speaker 2: It's business, certainly with the Dodgers and the number of
Speaker 2: players from you know, whether it's Korea, whether it's Japan.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 2: I understand it. I don't like it, but I understand it.
Speaker 2: It's business. Uh ten years ago, five years ago, I
Speaker 2: remember the Yankees went over there, Like I just you know,
Speaker 2: how about we think of the players you're in spring training,
Speaker 2: totally chill. Now, let's go to Japan, play a couple
Speaker 2: of games, they count, and then let's come back and
Speaker 2: then let's chill again. Tough to manage your staff you're pitching,
Speaker 2: and you know, once again, I know, it's business, and
Speaker 2: it's the Dodgers, they're pipeline with all the players.
Speaker 3: I understand all of it.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the fans in Japan would be
Speaker 2: that upset that if you said we're going to play
Speaker 2: two spring training games over there, are.
Speaker 3: They going to be upset?
Speaker 2: I think just having Shoheutani over there some of the
Speaker 2: other players who are from Japan.
Speaker 3: That would be enough. We don't need to have opening
Speaker 3: Day over there. Have Opening Day here.
Speaker 2: You can have kind of a faux opening day. You
Speaker 2: can have an opening day. How about opening Day there?
Speaker 2: You go, yeah, it's a fake opening day, Opening day,
Speaker 2: and you play a couple of games. You have all
Speaker 2: the pomp and circumstance and the pageantry, and then you
Speaker 2: come back and then you resume spring training.
Speaker 3: Everybody benefits.
Speaker 2: But you know, I know, we're trying to grow the
Speaker 2: business there and the Dodgers have done a wonderful job
Speaker 2: and Japan is a great market. The Dodgers game with
Speaker 2: the Cubs is over, Paulie, do you have a review
Speaker 2: of what happened?
Speaker 4: Well, ear muffet in case you taped it for later,
Speaker 4: because if it's Los Angeles, you had a bit real
Speaker 4: real early or really really late. The Dodgers won four
Speaker 4: to one over the Cubs. Otani two for five, great start, Yamamoto.
Speaker 4: Uh the Dodgers pitcher one hitter, five innings.
Speaker 3: Yeah, huh.
Speaker 2: Okay, So they got one more game over there, and
Speaker 2: then they come back home and then they resume spring
Speaker 2: training again and then they wait for their decks their
Speaker 2: second opening day for both of these teams. All right,
Speaker 2: get off my lawn, I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 2: All right, the NC DOUBLEA, the first four, get ready.
Speaker 2: You don't have to fill out your brackets. You have
Speaker 2: to be in for our bracket challenge by Wednesday. End
Speaker 2: of business, what is it?
Speaker 3: Seating? End of day? Is that what we were doing?
Speaker 5: You could do cob you could do, EOD you could
Speaker 5: do yeah. Okay, there's a million of them all right,
Speaker 5: end of day, close a business.
Speaker 2: Saint Francis of Pennsylvania against Alabama.
Speaker 3: State eos, end of show. Okay.
Speaker 2: Is there a team in the tournament who has more
Speaker 2: of a must win situation than North Carolina does? Today?
Speaker 2: North Carolina against San Diego State because the fallout from
Speaker 2: selection Sunday.
Speaker 3: How could they do this? North Carolina? Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: The head of the selection committee, the athletic director at
Speaker 2: North Carolina, he got a bonus for North Carolina being
Speaker 2: in the tournament, one hundred thousand dollars. Now, I don't
Speaker 2: think you jeopardize your job, But I like how they go, Hey, Bubba,
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about Carolina.
Speaker 3: You have to leave the room.
Speaker 2: Now, what about all the other times when all these
Speaker 2: people are together, maybe for breakfast or lunch or dinner.
Speaker 2: Do they go, Bubba, you're going to have to leave dinner.
Speaker 2: We're talking about North Carolina. Yeah, but you were just
Speaker 2: talking about, you know, the Jordan team that beat George up.
Speaker 2: We're talking about North Carolina. Bubba, You're gonna have to
Speaker 2: leave the room. You're gonna have to leave the restaurant.
Speaker 3: Silly.
Speaker 2: But North Carolina against San Diego State, now it becomes
Speaker 2: mussy TV. Now I'm curious about how North Carolina does
Speaker 2: against San Diego State. They should win, right, they're North Carolina.
Speaker 2: I don't know who's favored in this game. Maybe it's
Speaker 2: a Pickham that would be even better.
Speaker 6: Yes, Marvion, my model for March madness is bring your game,
Speaker 6: not your name. Oh okay, it matters if you're North Carolina.
Speaker 6: They're not all that good this year.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, so bring your game, not your name.
Speaker 3: All right, sounds like a slogan. I like that.
Speaker 2: Uh So, North Carolina against San Diego State, the first four.
Speaker 2: Now the West Virginia governor, he's upset. I love when
Speaker 2: politicians pandered to their fan base. Patrick Morrissey, he's the
Speaker 2: governor of West Virginia, and he wants to investigate the
Speaker 2: North Carolina nc double A bid.
Speaker 7: Today I'm joined here with our attorney general. He's the
Speaker 7: chief legal officer for the state, and I've asked Attorney
Speaker 7: General McCuskey to launch an investigation into the NCAA tournament
Speaker 7: selection committee to determine if any backyard deals back room deals, corruption, bribes,
Speaker 7: or any nefarious activity occurred during the selection process. I
Speaker 7: know that the Attorney General and I are going to
Speaker 7: leave no stone unturned during this process. We need to
Speaker 7: get to the bottom of it. I think a lot
Speaker 7: of Americans count on the fact that there's transparency and
Speaker 7: that there's fairness when dealing with selection. Whether you're talking
Speaker 7: about college football playoffs, remember what happened to Florida State
Speaker 7: a couple years ago, go or when it comes to
Speaker 7: March madness.
Speaker 2: Okay, he better get on this because North Carolina is
Speaker 2: playing tonight. So I don't think there's going to be
Speaker 2: an injunction where all of a sudden, they go, Tonight's
Speaker 2: game is being postponed due to an injunction by the
Speaker 2: West Virginia governor.
Speaker 3: He's got to pound the podium.
Speaker 2: If you really want to get my attention, you got
Speaker 2: to pound the podium.
Speaker 5: I mean, he's going after all those backyard deals. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and the back room backroom ones too. He is in
Speaker 5: West Virginia. We do backyard deals. Let's go take care
Speaker 5: of flaw state.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: See that's where it's abbreviated on his piece of paper
Speaker 2: fla State.
Speaker 3: Remember that.
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know he sounds like me.
Speaker 2: It's like he thought, Okay, I'll just put f l
Speaker 2: a state. I'll remember it's Florida state, and he's got
Speaker 2: Flaw state. Today I'm joined and that was another problem.
Speaker 5: I don't know if he put a lot of thought
Speaker 5: into that before he started speaking, but it's kind of
Speaker 5: like he was like, hold on or maybe forgot his glasses.
Speaker 3: Today I'm joint, joint the processed here by Flaw State.
Speaker 3: Play it just the beginning there, Marvin.
Speaker 7: Today I'm joined here with.
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean it starts very official today.
Speaker 2: Today, today, I'm the luckiest, luckiest man on the face
Speaker 2: of the earth.
Speaker 3: Oh, we're going to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 5: He's no Mayor Menino, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: I like that he's going to find out. You know,
Speaker 2: if you're going to go after the NCAA governor, I'd
Speaker 2: go after a lot of other things more than West
Speaker 2: Virginia got snubbed.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna guess.
Speaker 2: Indiana's governor is probably going to be upset and get
Speaker 2: involved in this. Boise State governor probably will get involved
Speaker 2: in the get all the governors in here of those
Speaker 2: who got job you know, damn it, We're the sixty
Speaker 2: ninth team and I'm not going to take it.
Speaker 4: Yes, and he use all the political terms, no stone unturned.
Speaker 4: I was expecting a Blue Risbon task force, you know,
Speaker 4: like anyone who when they do this, these politicians do.
Speaker 4: They have to know that this isn't real and they
Speaker 4: really can't stop the NCAA tournament. Yeah, So is it
Speaker 4: smart to play to your fan base that's also upset.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, as long as you don't mind being
Speaker 2: ridiculed by all the other states. Sure, I mean you're
Speaker 2: standing up for a great injustice, not the fact that
Speaker 2: your team had thirteen losses. Yeah, I'd investigate that, but
Speaker 2: they look, there are other schools that had I guess
Speaker 2: a legitimate gripe. But I don't even know if you
Speaker 2: can say legitimate, because if you leave it into somebody
Speaker 2: else's hands, that is your fault. If you leave it
Speaker 2: it's open to interpretation, that is your fault. Should North
Speaker 2: Carolina be in the tournament? No, North Carolina should not.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that means West Virginia deserves to
Speaker 2: be in there. If Indiana wasn't firing their coach, would
Speaker 2: Indiana be in there? Like, you know, we can make
Speaker 2: some arguments here for other schools, but if you get
Speaker 2: to that point in the selection committees afternoon and you're
Speaker 2: gonna go, hey, we're like sixty eight, there's sixty seventh,
Speaker 2: or sixty ninth, there's seventy.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's on you. It's on you.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 3: This isn't like.
Speaker 2: TCU when you have the final four teams playing for
Speaker 2: college football the playoffs, where you're like, nah, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be on the outside. Look at we're gonna be fifth,
Speaker 2: not fourth. We're not getting it. Okay, that's different. This
Speaker 2: is the sixty eighth sixty ninth team. You left yourself vulnerable.
Speaker 2: You paid the price, so did some other schools. I
Speaker 2: don't know if this opens, you know, the gates for
Speaker 2: other governors. Like if you're a governor, you're the governor Indiana.
Speaker 2: Now do you feel like you have to say something here?
Speaker 2: The guy in West Virginia did. Why aren't we investigating
Speaker 2: the NC? The NC double A is right there in Indiana.
Speaker 4: Yes, I just saw the video of Governor Morrissey a
Speaker 4: West Virginia when he said this speech. He had a
Speaker 4: sign in front of him that was hastily made up
Speaker 4: that said National Corrupt Athletic Association right in front of him.
Speaker 4: That's such sense.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, now, the NC DOUBLEA is corrupt. What
Speaker 2: are some of the other things the governor has gone
Speaker 2: after with the NC double A. I'm just curious because
Speaker 2: you could have done this a long long time ago,
Speaker 2: not just you got snubbed.
Speaker 3: But we'll see.
Speaker 2: Let's see if there's an injunction before tonight's game. I
Speaker 2: don't think there's going to be. But you have the
Speaker 2: first four coming up tonight. What's the poll question today,
Speaker 2: Seaton first Hour. Well, we got a few of them,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 5: I know you've been waiting to get to this topic
Speaker 5: because it's overwhelmingly the number one story of the day.
Speaker 5: Do you want to guess his name is?
Speaker 3: Jackson Dart. Oh, here he comes, here he goes. I
Speaker 3: warned you, Jackson Nord. He gets his own day.
Speaker 2: Mel kiper draft expert, is mock draft Jackson Dart top ten.
Speaker 3: To the Saints top three. Perhaps I think he's really good.
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 2: I think he's he's athletic. He just he can play
Speaker 2: in the NFL. I believe great name too. No, he's
Speaker 2: throwing darts up there but yeah, Jackson Dart, uh ja
Speaker 2: X does he have.
Speaker 3: Two x's only one? Only one X J A X
Speaker 3: S O N D A R T A right. Jackson
Speaker 3: Dart former USC Trojan Jackson Dart at old Miss.
Speaker 8: Yes.
Speaker 5: But if his name was you know, Charles Troubles and
Speaker 5: not Jackson Dart, would you still be like this is
Speaker 5: a guy we could build around.
Speaker 3: Probably not.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 5: I I used to call Chris Chambliss Charles Troubles for
Speaker 5: some reason when I was a kid. The name has
Speaker 5: never left my head.
Speaker 2: Hopefully it leaves mine. But Jackson Dart top ten mel Kiper, Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's always somebody who is sneaky moving, and always somebody
Speaker 2: who might be.
Speaker 3: Dropping a little bit. Jackson Dart hasn't really.
Speaker 2: Done anything since I don't know, December. Maybe you know, workout.
Speaker 2: He had a really good season. That's I'm always amazed,
Speaker 2: and you go, wait a minute, that guy didn't do
Speaker 2: anything unless it's a pro day or your combine.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 2: But it played well against Duke in the bowl game. Okay,
Speaker 2: But now all of a sudden, people are opening their
Speaker 2: eyes and this is what's going to happen.
Speaker 3: You're gonna get a lot of analysts who go, yep,
Speaker 3: I can see it now.
Speaker 2: If mel had him in the second round, then you
Speaker 2: know you I know, one Orlovsky I think was really
Speaker 2: big on Jackson dark and that was a while ago.
Speaker 3: That Orlovsky was all there.
Speaker 2: But this is where you just everybody doesn't want to
Speaker 2: be left in the dust here.
Speaker 3: Hey, I knew, I told you you know all this stuff.
Speaker 2: I remember my source said Michael Parsons is the best
Speaker 2: player in the draft, but he has baggage. Well can
Speaker 2: you say Michael Parsons was the best player in the draft.
Speaker 2: Who's the lineman for the Boltz out of Notre Dame
Speaker 2: Quentin Quentin Nelson. My source said he's the best ready
Speaker 2: to go player in the draft.
Speaker 3: You can make that case.
Speaker 2: So when my source tells me something, I tell you.
Speaker 2: So when he says, hey, you know, the Big ten
Speaker 2: is going to stop playing football, you know during COVID,
Speaker 2: that's from him. When he says the Browns are taking
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, that's from him. And when he tells me
Speaker 2: about certain players, I listen, and he's got a pretty
Speaker 2: good track record. But Jackson Dart is a good He's
Speaker 2: a good player, he really is. And you played for
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin and you know you played in the SEC.
Speaker 2: So do I think he can play in the NFL?
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: I think he is not as athletic as cam Warden.
Speaker 2: I think he is more athletic than Shade or Sanders.
Speaker 2: But it's in the high of the beholder. Does he
Speaker 2: fit with what you're trying to do.
Speaker 3: That's the key.
Speaker 2: You've got to get the right quarterback for you, not
Speaker 2: a quarterback. We'll take a break. We'll settle on our
Speaker 2: poll question. I don't know what the question is with
Speaker 2: Jackson Dart yet, but Seaton brought that up. We'll address
Speaker 2: that and Bill Cower will join us in an hour
Speaker 2: from now.
Speaker 3: We'll take a break back after this.

Speaker 5: Who gets drafted first, Jackson dot or Shadur Sandos oh.
Speaker 2: Man I would have said Shadoor Sanders. I just think
Speaker 2: Jackson Dart is a first round talent. Now, I didn't
Speaker 2: see him jumping up to ten. We got a lot
Speaker 2: of time before the draft we do. This is one
Speaker 2: of those you know, it's not an exciting draft, and
Speaker 2: this kind of reinvigorates the draft a little bit where
Speaker 2: you add a little more intrigue here.
Speaker 3: You need more quarterbacks, you.
Speaker 2: Know, when they say, boy, this is a great draft
Speaker 2: for interior alignment, and then nobody's going to be excited
Speaker 2: to hear and with the fourth pick and then it'll
Speaker 2: be an interior alignment. But Jackson Dart, Okay, yeah, you
Speaker 2: got a you know, a topic for the day that
Speaker 2: I didn't expect to have.
Speaker 4: Yes, pony, Well, it's a Tuesday before the NCAA tournament starts.
Speaker 4: This is when people slide their mock drafts for max reaction.
Speaker 4: All right, let me ask you guys something. Shador Sanders
Speaker 4: doesn't his father being Dion Sanders make him the safest
Speaker 4: pick at quarterback because he's been groomed to be a
Speaker 4: star athlete since birth. Go back to Chris Long coming
Speaker 4: out of college, Howie Lung's son, it seems like the
Speaker 4: downside is mitigated because of the family they grew up in.
Speaker 2: Well, you can grow up in an environment like Michael
Speaker 2: Jordan's kids did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they couldn't play, but I guess.
Speaker 4: You know, like Patrick Mahomes's dad played sports. He probably
Speaker 4: grew up in a lifestyle. Griffy some superstar athletes, they
Speaker 4: grow up around it and they're not shocked by the
Speaker 4: big stage or the money when he should or Sanders
Speaker 4: gets there.
Speaker 2: Well, I think he understands the spotlight, but I don't
Speaker 2: know how talented he is. I mean, Ken Griffy Junior
Speaker 2: understood the spotlight. He also happened to be one of
Speaker 2: the fifteen greatest players of all time. So I think
Speaker 2: you can understand it, but you have to also Bronnie James,
Speaker 2: he grew up in the spotlight. He grew up his
Speaker 2: entire life is social media, and let's see what happens
Speaker 2: with him.
Speaker 4: He ended up on the Lakers.
Speaker 3: League G League Lakers and his name is lebron James Junior. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the third Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think that kids who grow up and have a
Speaker 5: parent who is a professional athlete obviously have a head start,
Speaker 5: even just like genetically, they're probably going to be better
Speaker 5: better off than a kid is like dad was an
Speaker 5: accountant but really wants to play basketball. Right, But there
Speaker 5: is a real school of thought too that you would
Speaker 5: rather have the person who's sort of clawed their way
Speaker 5: there rather than had trained their whole way there. There's
Speaker 5: a whole thing about mindset that speaks to like you
Speaker 5: had to fight your way to get to every single level,
Speaker 5: and that prepares you more for a higher level rather
Speaker 5: than these are the elite drills that you do for somebody.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a sense of entitlement and that that probably
Speaker 2: is going to worry some gms in the NF Yeah, like, Okay,
Speaker 2: who do you think you are? You still have to
Speaker 2: go out there and prove it. And I think from
Speaker 2: what I've gathered with Shadoor Sanders, the work ethic is there.
Speaker 2: You know, when Steve Young talks about playing with Dion,
Speaker 2: he said he was in the ultimate teammate, worked hard,
Speaker 2: even said to him, look, I got there's two different
Speaker 2: people here. There's Dion Sanders and there's Prime. Just so
Speaker 2: you know, you know, I'm deon Sanders as a teammate
Speaker 2: with the media, I'm Prime, but understanding that.
Speaker 3: But Dion was able to deliver. Chador is not a
Speaker 3: great athlete.
Speaker 2: I mean yet in today's NFL, and Steve Young talks
Speaker 2: about this, there's so much out there for you to
Speaker 2: take that they're giving you the defense is giving you
Speaker 2: this and you've got to go take it, and you
Speaker 2: got to take it with your legs. He said, you know, brock,
Speaker 2: Perty's got to run more. There's so much real estate.
Speaker 2: Go take it. And if you don't, then you're kind
Speaker 2: of living in the you know, the dark ages. But
Speaker 2: Jackson Dart is a good athlete. Now I don't know
Speaker 2: what his pro day is going to be looking like.
Speaker 2: And I don't know, you know, what the measurables are
Speaker 2: that we get caught up in. I still laugh at
Speaker 2: that that, you know, we inspect these guys. I mean,
Speaker 2: their physical is far more thorough than mine, and I'm
Speaker 2: just trying to, you know, live a healthy life. But
Speaker 2: they're going size of his hands, okay, you know the
Speaker 2: three cone drill or whatever it is. I don't remember
Speaker 2: what Dan Marino's hand size was. I don't remember what
Speaker 2: Joe Montanas was or Steve Young's, nor do I care.
Speaker 2: I just want to know, can you play? Because you
Speaker 2: got guys who got the measurables standing broad jump ten
Speaker 2: feet nine inches, taking first dround, vertical thirty nine and
Speaker 2: a half taking No, I'm just looking at the tape.
Speaker 3: The tape tells me everything. I need to see.
Speaker 2: Then I get the medicals, see how healthy you are,
Speaker 2: and then I get the interview.
Speaker 3: That's all.
Speaker 2: Those are the things that I need, not how did
Speaker 2: you do on your pro day? Because we've seen guys
Speaker 2: on their pro day look like a pro, they don't
Speaker 2: play like a pro.
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, I have Jackson Dart's bio on NFL dot Com.
Speaker 4: Off the combine where you get all his measurements, and
Speaker 4: then the bottom it says strengths and weaknesses, and then
Speaker 4: Lance zer Line of NFL dot Com a NFL comp
Speaker 4: so it's officially NFL comp season. Dan, I'll start with
Speaker 4: this Jackson Dart six to two, two d and twenty
Speaker 4: three pounds, nine and a half inches on the hand.
Speaker 4: Measurements not good or bad kind of mid player comp.
Speaker 4: Here's a hint. This quarterback is still in the NFL.
Speaker 4: Still in the NFL.
Speaker 3: Ryan Tannehill, No, but you're not that far off.
Speaker 4: It's a quarterback that it may not necessarily be a
Speaker 4: huge compliment to Jackson Dart to be comp.
Speaker 3: Carson Wentz, Gardner Minshew is the player. Co I do
Speaker 3: like Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 4: Right, But if you're Jackson Dart, do you like being
Speaker 4: compared to Gardener.
Speaker 3: No, no, you don't. No player comp season. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: do love player comp I do, yes, Martan.
Speaker 6: Gardner Minshew, I'm not sure if that's good. If you're
Speaker 6: going to be a top ten pick.
Speaker 3: Probably not since Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 2: Maybe, but he was a fourth round draft pick.
Speaker 6: But I was thinking about player comps. Somebody who's good
Speaker 6: but not great.
Speaker 2: No, he's athletic. Kirk Cousins was an athletic. Gardner Minshew
Speaker 2: was an athletic. Yes, Dylan, I was gonna say, Derek Carr,
Speaker 2: that's his comp. Is the guy who he's going to
Speaker 2: take his job from.
Speaker 4: It's a perfect situation.
Speaker 3: I like it. You know. He reminds me a lot
Speaker 3: of is Derek Carr? Well, why don't you just keep
Speaker 3: Derek Carr? What's better than one Derek Carr? Two?
Speaker 2: Dog Doug in North Carolina, Good morning, Doug. What's on
Speaker 2: your mind?
Speaker 8: Well, Dan, I have a new game I'd like to introduce.
Speaker 8: I call this conspiracy theory, or you may be onto something.
Speaker 8: I hate Aaron Rodgers. I've never met I've never met
Speaker 8: the man, and I've never you know, hated anyone. A
Speaker 8: total stranger more in my life and it starts because
Speaker 8: I'm a Lions fan and I watch, you know, every year,
Speaker 8: a couple of times a year, you'd watch him just
Speaker 8: get all these phantom calls. But at least back then,
Speaker 8: during the offseason, you could forget about Aaron Rodgers. And
Speaker 8: now that's not the case. And my conspiracy theory is
Speaker 8: this photograph of him looking out into the vastness of
Speaker 8: the ocean while he wears a shaw and has a
Speaker 8: spiritual moment. I don't think that was just some passerby.
Speaker 8: I think Aaron Rodgers wanted that image out and that
Speaker 8: maybe he paid somebody for it.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, thank you, Doug. I hadn't given it that
Speaker 2: much thought. I don't give much thought with Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: off the field. On the field, all right, it's my
Speaker 2: job to assess that. But if he wants to be
Speaker 2: in a tent in Peru, great, go get him. He
Speaker 2: wants to walk on the beach in Malibu and you know,
Speaker 2: stare out onto the horizon.
Speaker 3: Great, I don't care.
Speaker 2: I just want to know if you want to play football,
Speaker 2: that's it. I don't And then wherever you land. Now
Speaker 2: we can start talking about that. But the other stuff
Speaker 2: and everything that goes along with it. I'm not interested
Speaker 2: in that.
Speaker 3: But I grew up. You know, when sports was.
Speaker 2: Just about what you saw or what you read. It
Speaker 2: wasn't about all the other ancillary stuff. You know, social
Speaker 2: media has given us too much back then. You know,
Speaker 2: you might hear about Johnny Bench and who he was dating,
Speaker 2: or Pete Rose got married, whatever it might be, but
Speaker 2: it would be just a little bit. But I wasn't
Speaker 2: craving that. I didn't go. God, I gotta know this now.
Speaker 2: You know everything about everybody, it feels like, or you
Speaker 2: can if you want to. With Aaron Rodgers, I just
Speaker 2: want to know if you want to play, and if
Speaker 2: you don't, then good luck, okay.
Speaker 3: And whatever you do great.
Speaker 2: My interactions with him were always great, always interesting playing
Speaker 2: golf with him. But you know this is different. This
Speaker 2: is where he's kind of whole holding you. Yeah, he's
Speaker 2: he's holding people, teams hostage. I just want you to
Speaker 2: move on, Like, what are you doing?
Speaker 3: Great?
Speaker 2: Make a decision, great, do the Vikings want him, they
Speaker 2: don't want him? Great, Steelers, Giants, retirement, whatever it is.
Speaker 2: But at some point you just go just wake me
Speaker 2: up when you make a decision.
Speaker 6: Yes, Marmon, and I think what's going to infuriate a
Speaker 6: fan base is if he's just, Okay, we waited for
Speaker 6: you all this time, and this is what you give us,
Speaker 6: almost like with the Jets, five wins with you and
Speaker 6: seven wins without you.
Speaker 2: You know, Paulie sent me the picture and he's got
Speaker 2: a blanket on and around his shoulders. He's got his
Speaker 2: earbuds in and who knows what he's listening to. Maybe
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan, I don't know, maybe this show.
Speaker 3: Hey Eron, how are you? I got it? Okay?
Speaker 2: Now, did he say, hey, I'm going to be at
Speaker 2: the beach, would you take a couple of picks? Yeah,
Speaker 2: because celebrities would do this. They still do this. I
Speaker 2: remember talking to one of those, you know, those celebrity photographers,
Speaker 2: and he said that Britney spears her person would let
Speaker 2: them know when Britney was going to be someplace, like,
Speaker 2: if you don't want to be found, you can probably
Speaker 2: make sure that you're not found.
Speaker 3: I don't know if.
Speaker 2: Aaron goes, you know, going to have the hat on backwards,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have this deep, deep stare into the horizon,
Speaker 2: into the sunset. There got your ear pods in like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I don't care.
Speaker 4: Yes, the photo kind of looks like Patrick Swayze as
Speaker 4: body at the end of point break where he's staring
Speaker 4: out into the ocean and Johnny Utah's coming to get him.
Speaker 4: Very similar.
Speaker 2: Let me see Martin in Atlanta, Hi, Martin, Great Martin.
Speaker 10: Now I know you were mentioning that you wanted to
Speaker 10: see that the guy from West Virginia actually did something
Speaker 10: when the governor was the attorney general. He sued the
Speaker 10: NCAA and that ruling is what caused everybody to be
Speaker 10: able to get as many transfers as they want. So
Speaker 10: he has a history with the NCAA and winning awesome
Speaker 10: the top of them and the top and off. The
Speaker 10: ad from North Carolina got a financial bonus for the
Speaker 10: basketball team making the tournament, So there is something to that.
Speaker 2: Do you think that Bubba Cunningham, who's probably in his seventies,
Speaker 2: would risk his reputation for one hundred thousand dollars Martin.
Speaker 10: Exception is there and when he says he steps out
Speaker 10: of the room for North Carolina, But did he step
Speaker 10: out of the room for West Virginia and the other teams?
Speaker 2: Well, how about we look and see how many other
Speaker 2: athletic directors get a bonus like this, Like, if we
Speaker 2: want to expand this the if we want wanna throw
Speaker 2: a wider net over this, and how about we do that?
Speaker 2: What is the corruption that we're finding? Do you think
Speaker 2: that everybody on the committee goes, you know, Bubba and
Speaker 2: bad year with his team, but they almost be Duke.
Speaker 2: We should put him in and he gets one hundred
Speaker 2: thousand dollars bonus. I'm gonna have a hard time believing that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think that.
Speaker 5: The word corruption is is a little heavy handed. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but maybe do you put your finger on the scale
Speaker 5: a little bit more because it's your team?
Speaker 3: Probably that's just bias, you know. But he can't put
Speaker 3: his finger on the scale, right, I mean do you
Speaker 3: help do that? Though?
Speaker 5: There's got to be a way that you can help
Speaker 5: influence things a little bit.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Look, I would love to have this televised. I've said
Speaker 2: this for years. Let us see, let me see the
Speaker 2: process here. If unless you are hiding something, let us
Speaker 2: see you're gonna discuss.
Speaker 3: I want to know. You know, who's going to be
Speaker 3: in the college football playoffs? You must see TV.
Speaker 2: Once again, everybody's about making money. How about we have
Speaker 2: live coverage. You get to watch what goes on. Maybe
Speaker 2: you don't have a host, you just have cameras and
Speaker 2: you can pick up the audio and you can hear
Speaker 2: what people say. You know, we want total transparency when
Speaker 2: you're voting on an MVP. We still don't know that
Speaker 2: one guy who didn't vote like okay, but I still
Speaker 2: would love to have that behind the scenes, let's hear
Speaker 2: what you talk about. I would love to have this
Speaker 2: with the Hall of Fame. It's so important to these
Speaker 2: former players. Let me see what is said about them.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is great content. Uncomfortable probably for some
Speaker 2: somebody might argue against North Carolina in that meeting. Now,
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's rules, laws regularly, you know whatever. There
Speaker 2: might be, you know, kind of hurdles there. But wouldn't
Speaker 2: you love to be able to listen even if they
Speaker 2: gave you just they edited this and they gave you
Speaker 2: like a four minute conversation, and then maybe they came
Speaker 2: back and they gave you another conversation, maybe about a
Speaker 2: number one seed or a number two seed that didn't
Speaker 2: get to be a number one seed, or maybe it
Speaker 2: is the sixty eighth or sixty ninth team.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Call me crazy crazy, but.
Speaker 2: That would be entertaining and it would allow the transparency
Speaker 2: that we want. It's I think that officials and umpires
Speaker 2: should have to talk after every game. I think that
Speaker 2: they should be there with the transparency of hey, we
Speaker 2: want to ask you some questions.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pully, you also had an idea about six or
Speaker 4: seven years ago where you said, let Vegas handle this,
Speaker 4: and Vegas looks at the teams and says, here's how
Speaker 4: we would rank them based off head to head, and
Speaker 4: it's completely objective. They have no dog in the fight,
Speaker 4: and they would say here are the sixty four or
Speaker 4: sixty eight best teams, or college football at the twelve best,
Speaker 4: because they are totally objective and could break it down
Speaker 4: number by number.
Speaker 2: I do not think for a moment that Bubba Cunningham,
Speaker 2: the athletic director at North Carolina, went in there and
Speaker 2: threw his weight around and said I want North Carolina
Speaker 2: in the tournament for one hundred grand I don't believe that,
Speaker 2: and even for now, no money involved in this. I
Speaker 2: think you have to be truly fair. Do I think
Speaker 2: North Carolina as a name help them get in.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, they do. Yes, Bill, the video aspect would
Speaker 3: be funny if it's like the issue of North Carolina
Speaker 3: comes up and they're all like, all right, Bubba, you
Speaker 3: gotta go wait in the hallway for this one. No
Speaker 3: funny business. He'll be knocking. Who's there, Baba? Did I
Speaker 3: get my one hundred grand guys or what? We're not
Speaker 3: not ready yet, baba.
Speaker 2: Okay, let me take a break. We'll get to phone
Speaker 2: calls here. Also, Bill Cower will join us coming up
Speaker 2: next hour. But up next it's on our Play of
Speaker 2: the Day.

Speaker 2: Rockets have won seven in a row. The Rockets are
Speaker 2: the number two seed in the West. That's courtesy of
Speaker 2: Sports Talk seven ninety am Rockets Radio network balance scoring
Speaker 2: on this team. I don't think anybody's scoring over twenty
Speaker 2: three points per game. And nobody is talking about the Rockets.
Speaker 2: That's a young team. They're you know, Oklahoma City is
Speaker 2: a young team, Detroit's a young team, Orlando's a young team.
Speaker 2: You're seeing these teams using their draft picks and getting
Speaker 2: players who can I mean, keep in mind that Houston
Speaker 2: had the third pick overall. That was Reed Shepherd out
Speaker 2: of Kentucky. He doesn't even play now. He was great
Speaker 2: in the summer league. But this is an interesting team,
Speaker 2: Houston Rockets. Right now, all right, update the poll results

Speaker 5: Schador's got sixty four of that vote. Then one here
Speaker 5: from PAULI, uh best ever quarterback name dot dot dot
Speaker 5: Jackson Dart be right up there, Joe Montana, great name,
Speaker 5: Cult McCoy, great name.
Speaker 3: Johnny Utah. Oh, from the movie Johnny Utah.
Speaker 2: But do you think they did Johnny Utah as a
Speaker 2: takeoff on Joe Montana, Like if it was Joey Montana
Speaker 2: and Johnny Utah seems.
Speaker 3: Like well unit is thrown in there too with the
Speaker 3: Johnny U Johnny u Uh. I think is Sonny six
Speaker 3: Killer was one of my favorites. I think he was.
Speaker 2: At Washington State Washington or Washington State Sonny six Killer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, University of Washington, Sonny six Killer.
Speaker 3: He wore number six of course. Yep, huge dude, Yeah,
Speaker 3: Sonny six killer. That's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Who is the Tuians's sopo awesome from Washington, Washington? Yeah,
Speaker 2: you dub h Montana's That's that's pretty good. I'm I'm
Speaker 2: sure we're leaving out.
Speaker 5: I can underappreciate how strong of a quarterback name that is.
Speaker 2: And then didn't Montana change the name of a town
Speaker 2: and they called Joe Montana.
Speaker 3: I think that.
Speaker 2: I think there's a place in Montana it's called Joe Montana.
Speaker 2: I think they changed the name you're correct.
Speaker 4: They changed it in the nineties in honor of Joe Montana,
Speaker 4: who is not from Montana.
Speaker 3: No, he's not, He's Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4: That's awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me see Jeff in Tampa. Hi, Jeff, what's
Speaker 3: on your mind today?
Speaker 11: Hey, good morning, DP. I'm calling again about the NFL
Speaker 11: draft and I'm worried about the Bears of the Bucks
Speaker 11: taking Shamar Stewart. I mean he's an d dresser. He
Speaker 11: had one and a half sacks last year. It takes
Speaker 11: his A and M and signed for his career. Yeah,
Speaker 11: he's a consensus top fifteen in the MOCKX. I mean
Speaker 11: I'm in my late forties then. So my first written
Speaker 11: like recollection of the someone who didn't produce in college
Speaker 11: yet Children of the Combine was Mike Mamula from BC.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 11: So my question for you was, like, have any of
Speaker 11: the dot ca as thinking of any of these Combine
Speaker 11: warriors that have made anything of themselves at the next level.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, you went a little deep on Uh, you're
Speaker 2: worried about, you know, somebody picking your edge rusher. We
Speaker 2: got a little bit of time before the draft there.
Speaker 2: Mike Mamula was drafted by the Eagles and he went
Speaker 2: to Boston College. He was one of those guys that
Speaker 2: came in and he did everything everything really well and
Speaker 2: jumped up into the first round. Didn't pan out, But
Speaker 2: you know, we've had guys who have great pro days
Speaker 2: and then doesn't pan out.
Speaker 3: I just want to know what he'd you do? When
Speaker 3: it's right in front of you.
Speaker 2: I can look at a tape, I can break down
Speaker 2: that tape. That's what I want to see first, because
Speaker 2: that actually happened on the football field with somebody playing
Speaker 2: against you, somebody who might have been trying to take
Speaker 2: your head off.
Speaker 3: That's where I start.
Speaker 2: I think sometimes we just we forget what's on the tape,
Speaker 2: and then you get caught up in oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: did you see his pro deack or did you see
Speaker 2: the three cone drill?
Speaker 3: I don't care about that.
Speaker 2: It's nice to have players that we may not know about.
Speaker 2: They get an opportunity to shine. I think that's great.
Speaker 2: But we're finding the trend now is a lot of these,
Speaker 2: you know, big time college players, certainly quarterbacks aren't performing
Speaker 2: at the combine
