00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: It's also Saint Patrick's Day today, Richie. Yeah, how are

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: you celebrating that? I mean, I love holidays that are

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 2: really built around drinking. We have certain holidays, I mean

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: like Cinco de Mayo is another one of those holidays

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 2: that we celebrate really with the idea of just getting blasted,

13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: and very much so on Saint Patrick's Day. No disrespect obviously,

14
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: it's just that's that sort of how it plays out.

15
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: We were I was doing the news last night, and

16
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 1: they are making.

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: It clear to everybody, hey have fun, but we got

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: checkpoints all over the place for your safety and that

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: of others. So how's it looking at the Ornberger House

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 2: for this Saint Patrick's Day celebration.

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 3: Well, we take most holidays seriously. I think maybe part

22
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: of that is because I was born on a holiday.

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: I was Valentine's Day baby. So as a result, as

24
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: an adult, we celebrate Valentine's Day, we celebrate Saint Patti's Day.

25
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: We do hours probably different than a lot of people.

26
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: We the leprechauns. The Leprechauns visit us the night before

27
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: every Saint Patrick's Day, so we wake up in the

28
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: morning and they've torn the house apart. They're always causing mischief.

29
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: So the kids are two boys. They set out leprechaun

30
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 3: traps and somehow they got out again this year. They

31
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: said they used to stick a dynamite. I suspect I'll play.

32
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: Wow Wow Now. Yesterday I was sharing this story with Monsey.

33
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: We were doing our show yesterday and my very first

34
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: year doing radio on a small radio station in Madonna Beach, California.

35
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: My partner and I did our show on Saint Patrick's

36
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: Day from a pub in Orange County, and we got

37
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: there several hours early, way before the actual radio show.

38
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: So I used to do a commentary that I would

39
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: write out, and by the time we actually got on

40
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: the air and I was trying to read my script,

41
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: I was swimming in so much beer.

42
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: I literally could not read.

43
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: A single word that I had written, and at that

44
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: point I had lived it and I've been ad libbing

45
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: ever since. So it was really a game changer in

46
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: my radio career. That Saint Patrick's Day. So everybody have

47
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: a great time today Saint Patrick's Day. We got selections Sunday.

48
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: Everyone's excited. We're going to put those brackets together everything else,

49
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: But be safe, okay, be safe out there and enjoy

50
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: your day, all right, Richie. A couple of things right

51
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: at the top, And of course we got unbelievable NFL

52
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: news today.

53
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: In fact, I literally want to go to every team in.

54
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: The NFL in their quarterback situation, Like I have updated

55
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: everything here as far as starters, backups, what teams are

56
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: still looking for quarterbacks, which teams in the drafts. We're

57
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: gonna break that all down over the course of the show.

58
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: But yesterday, after Montsi and I did our show, Aaron

59
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: Torres came in. Now you know, Aaron, our dear friend

60
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: is a big Yukon guy, and I basically offered my

61
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: condolences that Yukon will not win the National championship. Now

62
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: I know everyone's saying, this is a better Yukon team

63
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: than we saw a year ago, and they are clearly

64
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: the best team, but two things going against them. Rich One,

65
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: they will be the number one ranked team in the

66
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 2: country with Houston losing yesterday, Yukon winning final AP poll

67
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: will come out. Now you've heard this step before from me,

68
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna repeat it the last forty that's four to

69
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: zero NCAA men's basketball tournaments, last four d the number

70
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: one ranked team and the final AP poll, which is

71
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 2: taken before the tournament begins. In those forty years, the

72
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: number one ranked team has gone on to win the

73
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 2: championship four times, wow, four out of forty. That means

74
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 2: thirty six of the forty teams ranked number one in

75
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: the country going into the tournament did not win the

76
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: national championship. In fact, in the last twenty one NCAA tournaments,

77
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: only one team, the twenty twelve Kentucky team John Caliperi's

78
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: only championship team with Anthony Davis, was ranked number one

79
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,119
Speaker 2: and went on to win the national championship. Now, add

80
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: to that, the last six teams to win the national championship,

81
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: all of them were back in the tournament the following year.

82
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: None of these teams got past the round of thirty two.

83
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: The last six defending national champions all flamed out before

84
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: the sweet sixteen.

85
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 4: Amazing.

86
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: So when you look at those kind of overwhelming numbers,

87
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. As unbeatable as Yukon looks right now, they're

88
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: going down.

89
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: They're going down.

90
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: Do not pick Yukon in your brackets to win the

91
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: national championship.

92
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: From a probability standpoint, you're right. However, I will make

93
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: an argument against analytics, and I know that you often

94
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: make this argument against analytics when it comes to fourth

95
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 3: down conversion decisions versus punting the football and kicking field

96
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 3: goals versus going for.

97
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 4: It, etc. Etc.

98
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: In baseball, I know that you have a hard time

99
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 3: with the three outcomes we normally see at the plate,

100
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 3: you know, strikeout, walk, home run. It's analytics takeover everything,

101
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: and a lot of people become supremely analytical when it

102
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 3: comes to their bracket.

103
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 4: And here's why.

104
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: It's because it's impossible, impossible to watch enough college basketball

105
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: to really have a clue. So we have to base

106
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: our decision making. If you want to try to find

107
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: the edges, if you're a sports better, if you're somebody

108
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 3: who just has a little bracket competition amongst your friends.

109
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 3: You trust the numbers, Well, the numbers can lie, Steve.

110
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 3: It happens all the time. You mentioned Yukon You Come

111
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 3: won the national title last year. Yukon obviously has a

112
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 3: special team. This year, you look at a team like Yukon,

113
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: you come back in twenty eleven with Kemba Walker had

114
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 3: one of the worst offenses to ever win a national championship.

115
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 3: They won five games in five nights through the Big

116
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: East Tournament, and then they went on to run the

117
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 3: table and win the national title no team has done

118
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 3: ever before or since. You look at a team like

119
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: Yukon this year, it's much clearer path for a team

120
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: as talented as they have to make it far in

121
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: this tournament.

122
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 4: And I'm not gonna put it against.

123
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: Them, like just because the numbers say they shouldn't, because

124
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 3: probability says they they won't, doesn't mean they can't.

125
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: Well, and here's another thing.

126
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: If you are a fan of one of these schools

127
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: that's sitting there anxiously waiting whether or not you're going

128
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: to be in the field, you have only yourself to blame.

129
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: We talk about the beauty of these conference tournaments. Everybody

130
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: has a chance to win. When you go into these

131
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: conference tournaments, you don't need to expand. And you and

132
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: I are on the same page. You got a nice

133
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: tidy sixty eight team field, right, You got the first four,

134
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: you get down to sixty four and it plays out

135
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: from there. Everyone has a chance going into these conference tournaments.

136
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: And we just saw NC State in the ACC and

137
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: Oregon in the Pac twelve, two teams that were not

138
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: even bubble teams make their way and get the automatic bid.

139
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: There are no excuses if we are going to see

140
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: in some of these smaller conferences. Give an example, Indiana State, right,

141
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: so they're a bubble team. All of a sudden, they

142
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: won the regular season championship. They go down in the

143
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: conference tournament to drake. Now they're on the edge of

144
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: their seat if they don't get in. Look in the mirror.

145
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: Had you won your conference tournament, you wouldn't have to

146
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: sweat it out.

147
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,479
Speaker 1: You get the automatic bid. So there really are no excuses.

148
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 2: I mean there are obviously every year we go through this,

149
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: half a dozen schools screaming foul when they're left out

150
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 2: when they're fighting for.

151
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: An at large bid.

152
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: You had your chance you win your conference tournament, you

153
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: get the automatic bid, and there are a lot of them.

154
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 2: I mean, how about this story at Long Beach State.

155
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: This was unbelievable. Dan Monson, I know this guy fairly well,

156
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: have covered him over the years. If you don't know

157
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: his background, Dan Monson is the guy that put Gonzaga

158
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 2: on the map. So Dan Monson was a Gonzaga first sist,

159
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 2: an assistant, then as a head coach, and in nineteen

160
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: ninety nine Gonzaga who no one even knew about. In fact,

161
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 2: that's why they started calling themselves the Zags because people

162
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: kept saying Gonzaga. They're like, we're not the Zogs. Were

163
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: the Zags. It's Gonzaga, right. But he got him to

164
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: the Elite eight and he was the hottest coach in

165
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: America at that point. He left for Minnesota, didn't work

166
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: out all that great. Then he's been at Long Beach

167
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: State the last seventeen years. They lose their last five

168
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: games this year, so after seventeen years, only one trip

169
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 2: to the nca Tournament in seventeen years.

170
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: As respected as he is, they said, look, Dan, we.

171
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 2: Really need to make a change, and he agreed, But

172
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 2: can I least stay on for the conference tournament.

173
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: Sure he'll be one and done and then we'll be

174
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 1: done with it. He wins it.

175
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, so for only the second time in seventeen years

176
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: at Long Beach State, he's going to the Big Dance.

177
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: I mean, this is such a phenomenal story. Maybe they'll

178
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: reconsider his firing. I don't know about that, But this

179
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: is this is the whole thing about why March madness

180
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: works so beautifully. And we're not gonna sit here and

181
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 2: try to pretend that we know every player in every school.

182
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it's ridiculous. I mean, there it's been a

183
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: tough year for me personally because my UCLA Bruins.

184
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: Were out of it.

185
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: But how this plays out first in these conference tournaments

186
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: and then obviously in the Big Dance, it's just it's

187
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: just incredibly special. And once again, even before we get

188
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: to the teams will actually be in the tournament. We

189
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 2: have seen madness. We see how did you see the

190
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: end of that Kent State game?

191
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 3: Oh?

192
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the kid doing?

193
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 4: It's it's it's the.

194
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: Pressure midst of foul of the back court.

195
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 4: It was like, I'm tell's like, what what do you what?

196
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: What are you, Chris Webber, Well, it's happening here.

197
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 4: People panic.

198
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: I've seen it in games that I played in as

199
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 3: a professional collegiately. You know, obviously a different sport in football,

200
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 3: but when you have that amount of pressure on players

201
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: on a court and they're young and just being young

202
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: in general, you're prone to making mistake because the beauty

203
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 3: of youth is you're inexperienced, like.

204
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 4: You have your whole life ahead of you.

205
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: You have a ton to learn, and that's as true

206
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: on the court as it is off the court. You

207
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: have you haven't had as many experiences, especially as many

208
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: experiences under the amount of pressure you're under during those

209
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: experiences as you get. When March comes around and you're

210
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: playing the conference tournament and you're playing for an opportunity

211
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 3: to get to the dance, those things happen and you

212
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: can't predict them, and it's ultimately the most frustrating thing

213
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 3: for coaches because I'm sure they've practiced situations time and

214
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: time again on the courts wherever their practice pavilion is,

215
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: and ultimately those decisions can lose you opportunity.

216
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 4: And so I don't know. I love this time of year.

217
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people, obviously, who are ardent

218
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: fans of the teams they're interested in, probably take this

219
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: all too seriously, but that's the beauty of it, because

220
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 3: there's real passion. That's the reason why the NFL postseason

221
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: works so well, that's the reason why college football's postseason

222
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: has worked at all with only four teams. It's when

223
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 3: people are passionate and they care, and it's a good

224
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: way of ultimately determining or defining who your national champion is,

225
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 3: which is the best way in college basketball. You have

226
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 3: a good time, and that's exactly what we're looking forward to.

227
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean to give you an idea.

228
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: Right now, we got the IVY League championship game going

229
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: on between Brown and Yale. If you don't know the

230
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: Brown story, oh my god, they have a losing record.

231
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: This team was at six and seventeen, so at one point,

232
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 2: rich their record was six and seventeen. They have now

233
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: won seven in a row, so they're still thirteen and seventeen,

234
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: but they could get the automatic bid if they beat Yale.

235
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: Now they're trailing right now, but at one point this

236
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: team was sitting at six and seventeen and they are

237
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: one game away from making it into the big Dance

238
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: and it is just beautiful. I mean, it's an absolutely

239
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: beautiful thing, all right. The Fox Sports Radio Bracket Challenge

Speaker 2: get off the air. So, Richie, it has been a

277
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: whirlwind of activity around the National Football League and I

278
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: was sort of losing it for a while there because

279
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: I was losing track of who's where. So I thought

280
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: for today's show we sort of mix in the idea

281
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: because I'm I'm sure a lot of people are also

282
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: maybe confused like where did this guy go? Who's still there,

283
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: who's not there? That we almost go like division by

284
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: division to sort of update you on the quarterback situation

285
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: because there have been so many changes and I want

286
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: to obviously get your thoughts rich on, you know, who

287
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: upgraded their quarterback situation, who's in desperate need As we

288
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: head into the draft, we still have a few available

289
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: quarterbacks out there, so I want to start breaking this

290
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: down with you as far as where teams stand in

291
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: terms of their quarterback situation.

292
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 4: All right, yeah, sure sounds good.

293
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 2: So let's start with the AFC East. It's a very

294
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: interesting division with Buffalo, Miami, New England, and the Jets.

295
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: With the quarterback situation.

296
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: All right, I'm going to run down where we stand

297
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: right now with the teams in terms of their starter

298
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: and their backup. So for the Bills, obviously, Josh Allen

299
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: is your starter. If you missed it, Mitchell Trubisky is

300
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: back in Buffalo now. I remember he left the Bears,

301
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 2: went to Buffalo as a backup for a year. Then

302
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: he obviously got an opportunity with the Steelers that turn

303
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 2: out to not be an opportunity.

304
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: He's back with the Bills. So Trubisky is the backup

305
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: there in Miami.

306
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 2: You got two back up by Mike White, the former

307
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: Jets quarterback now in Miami. New England, well, you got

308
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett back in a Patriots uniform. And you see

309
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: a lot of guys returning to the teams. And of

310
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: course New England's sitting there with the number three pick

311
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: in the draft. That's obviously the direction they're going to

312
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: go in the future. And as far as the Jets

313
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: are concerned, Aaron Rodgers, although he could be running for

314
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: vice president, we'll get into that in a second. And

315
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 2: you know, Trod, don't call me Tyrod. Taylor was signed

316
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: on which of course leaves Zach Wilson and Limbo. I

317
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: don't hear a lot of teams anxious to make a

318
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: deal to get Zach Wilson. So let's break this one

319
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: down here. Obviously, the Buffalo and Miami situations are very

320
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 2: steady with Josh Allen and Tua Tongue Vailoa. Let's talk

321
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 2: about your former team, the New England Patriots. There have

322
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 2: been a lot of wild rumors that maybe maybe the

323
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: New England Patriots would consider trading out of the third

324
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 2: slot if they just get a boatload and return. Obviously

325
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 2: Jacoby Burssett would just be a stopgap guy for a

326
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 2: short term out there. But what do you make of

327
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: the Patriots situation? Must they take a quarterback most likely

328
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: may number three overall to set in place the post

329
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick era.

330
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 3: Well, look, I think that I think where they're at

331
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: right now is obviously lesser than what they need to compete,

332
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 3: and so if they want to go for it this season,

333
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 3: they certainly have high enough draft capital to get one

334
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: of the top quarterbacks out of the draft. And it's

335
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: a crowded top of the draft order in terms of quarterbacks.

336
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 3: A lot of people love Drake may. I don't know

337
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 3: who's going to be available. Maybe he gets scooped up.

338
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 3: Maybe it's Jaden Daniels available. You know, maybe they're going

339
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 3: to go in a completely different direction, maybe Bo Nicks.

340
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 3: It's going to be fascinating to see, especially what they

341
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 3: do at that piece, because they can get a lot

342
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 3: of draft capital, and I don't think there are all

343
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 3: that high of expectations for this upcoming season, so you

344
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: can kick the can down the road. However, I then

345
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 3: air on the side of most of the these general

346
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 3: managers and head coaches are aware that there has never

347
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 3: been a shorter attention span and a shorter level of

348
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 3: patience with front offices and head coaches then there has

349
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 3: during the past five years. I would argue, I mean

350
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 3: coaches get fired quick. Now, you know, you get a

351
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 3: season maybe to really get your feet wet. It wasn't

352
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 3: that way for Frank Reich in Carolina. He got ten

353
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 3: weeks and then they were making they were having meetings

354
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 3: with ownership, and then he got shipped out. So it's

355
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 3: usually you get a year and if it's really not

356
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 3: going much better at the start of year two, that's

357
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: when those conversations start. And so I think the Patriots

358
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 3: are going to use that draft capital to bring in

359
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 3: a quarterback.

360
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 4: And we'll see who's available. We just don't know who's

361
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 4: going to be available at that spot yet.

362
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: Well again, most people now believe Calla Williams will be

363
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 2: number one overall by the Bears, and then that the

364
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 2: commanders are set on Jayden Daniels. It really depends on

365
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: the scouting of Drake May. If they believe that Drake

366
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: May is no more you know significant that you mentioned

367
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 2: Bo Nix or Michael Pennix Junior JJ McCarthy. Then you're

368
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 2: in a sweet spot. I mean, you could trade down

369
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 2: and still get a quarterback in the draft and a

370
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 2: lot of draft capital, and I think we're both in agreement.

371
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: This is a Patriots team. When we talk about rebuild,

372
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 2: they're in a rebuild. I mean, they obviously have a

373
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: lot of pieces on the defensive side, but offensively, this

374
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 2: team is a complete mess. So they need to do

375
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 2: something dramatic there. Let's get to the Jets. So let's

376
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: talk about this Aaron Rodgers situation. So it's floated out

377
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: there that Aaron Rodgers is being considered by RFK Junior

378
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: to be his running mate for president as an independent candidate.

379
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is already learning a valuable lesson about your

380
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 2: name being placed in the political arena.

381
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 4: How do you.

382
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 2: Immediately come out when the story floated out there saying Hey,

383
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 2: I'm flattered. You know, I'm a big believer in RFK Junior,

384
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 2: but no, I have absolutely no interest in being his

385
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 2: VP candidate because I got to focus on football.

386
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: He still hasn't done that.

387
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 4: So what happened?

388
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 2: Suddenly one of the news networks floats a story out

389
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: there that someone overheard him saying at the Kentucky Derby

390
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: over a decade ago, something that obviously is very offensive

391
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 2: to a lot of people, And all of a sudden,

392
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 2: he's got to defend himself, and I got news for him.

393
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: If you think that that's politics, it's on both sides.

394
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: Everyone plays dirty. That's the political game.

395
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: If you really want to get yourself into that political arena,

396
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: brace yourself because everybody plays that game. It's about power,

397
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 2: it's about doing whatever it takes to get to the

398
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: finish line, and they will do whatever they can do. So,

399
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 2: I mean, this has been a complete mess, and he

400
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 2: still hasn't denied because apparently RFK Junior is going to

401
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: announce whoever his running mate's going to be as an

402
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 2: independent candidate coming up.

403
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to figure this out.

404
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 2: Didn't he just come out rich recently and talked about

405
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: the absolute commitment this entire Jets organization has to make

406
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 2: every single player look in the mirror if this team

407
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 2: is going to get to their ultimate goal. And then

408
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 2: he allows this story to fester the way it has.

409
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: It's unreal to me that he is this selfish. Let's

410
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 2: call it for what it is to allow this to

411
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 2: happen and create a distraction for a Jets team that

412
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: is desperately trying to get off the map.

413
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 3: Well, look, I think that's your opinion, and I know

414
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers probably doesn't have a ton of fans, But

415
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 3: I always defend people being themselves and people speaking truthfully

416
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 3: about how they feel. Look, there's a lot of people

417
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 3: who disagree with Lebron James speaking up for his causes.

418
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 3: A lot of people find, especially during the pandemic and

419
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 3: the protesting that followed George Floyd's murder, to be despicable,

420
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: and everybody started throwing things around that you know, he

421
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 3: had done in his past, you know, dealings with China,

422
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 3: et cetera. You know, And and it's it's just the

423
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 3: way this works. You're not going to be able to

424
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 3: appease everybody one hundred percent of the time.

425
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 4: And I get it. Aaron Rodgers says a lot of

426
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 4: disagreeable things.

427
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 3: In fact, I disagree with a bunch of things that

428
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers has said. However, I honestly I don't I

429
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 3: don't see how he's misrepresented anybody or anything. I think

430
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 3: he's I think at every turn he's trying to get

431
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 3: as much information out there about himself as he possibly can.

432
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 4: And and by the way.

433
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 3: He can't help who wants to ask him to run

434
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 3: for vice president. This could have been Donald Trump. This

435
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 3: could have been Joe Biden. I mean less likely Joe

436
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 3: Biden obviously, but it could have been you know who said, Hey,

437
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 3: you know, Aaron, I just love you.

438
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 4: You gott to join the campaign.

439
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 3: And if you're asked to be somebody's running mate in

440
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,719
Speaker 3: a presidential election, somebody who actually has a chance, I mean,

441
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 3: I don't know how good of a chance, but a chance.

442
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 4: I mean, that's something you gotta seriously consider.

443
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: Well, you can't do both.

444
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: Though you can't there the elections in November. You can't

445
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 2: be a vice presidential candidate quarterback of an NFL team.

446
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 4: I understand that, But we just got this news.

447
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 3: What if what if Rogers only had a week longer

448
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 3: with this information than we had.

449
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, like we're acting like these

450
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 4: are easy.

451
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 3: Decisions for somebody to make. Like now, Rogers could have

452
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 3: turned it down immediately, and that would be his own decision.

453
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 3: But if he was even waffling this decision, why would

454
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 3: he make a rash decision on something that he would

455
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 3: actually consider. So I think, Look, I think what happens

456
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: here a lot when we are discussing public figures, when

457
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 3: we are discussing celebrities, when we're discussing athletes, especially Hall

458
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 3: of Fame athletes who seem untouchable, who seem like they're

459
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 3: not like the this guy's still a human being, Like

460
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 3: he's still going to mole and decide and take some

461
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 3: time with new information, just like anybody would if somebody

462
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 3: asks me to be their running running mate for vice president,

463
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,719
Speaker 3: I would be first shocked, and then I would consider it,

464
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 3: I guess, and and then I would have a lot

465
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 3: of conversations with people within my close circle, like I'm

466
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 3: sure he's he was or still is going through the

467
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 3: process of all of that before he really speaks publicly

468
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 3: about any of this. And so I don't really, I

469
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 3: don't really see how this is that big of a

470
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 3: distraction right now. It could become a distraction for the

471
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 3: Jets and for Aaron Rodgers if he ends up trying

472
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 3: to do both, but that ship may have sailed. I mean,

473
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 3: who knows. For all we know, RFK will name somebody

474
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 3: completely different. The news cycle will change this story will

475
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,719
Speaker 3: go away. It may come bubbling up to the surface

476
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 3: again in the spring, or if the Jets come out

477
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 3: to a slow start. Maybe some reporter asks after a

478
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 3: week three loss, Hey.

479
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 4: Aaron, do you think this has anything to.

480
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 3: Do with the distractions this offseason with the potential vice

481
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 3: president been No, it doesn't, next question, and then that'll

482
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 3: be the last of it.

483
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: But again, because he didn't pull his name out of consideration,

484
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 2: then his name gets dragged through the mud, and then

485
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: all of a sudden he's got to defend himself for

486
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 2: something that he claims he never said. So, I mean,

487
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: this is the part of it. You want to play

488
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: in the political arena, go for it. Anybody can do it.

489
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 4: But but but but but who said you.

490
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 2: Said you wanted to lead the Jets to a championship

491
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 2: and you told everybody we need to be one hundred

492
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: percent focused on this if we're gonna get to where

493
00:26:58,640 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 2: we want to get.

494
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Steve, I mean, listen that this is the

495
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 3: reason why, you know, divorce lawyers exist because a lot

496
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 3: of people say a lot of things at different moments

497
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 3: in their life and then guess what circumstances change.

498
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 4: You know, I hate it I hate that.

499
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 3: You know, matrimony isn't everlasting like it's supposed to be,

500
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 3: and not everybody finds, you know, their life mate. But look,

501
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 3: opinions change, people change, and sometimes those opinions and people

502
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 3: they change quicker than anybody would forecast.

503
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 4: Like so for Aaron Rodgers.

504
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 3: With all of a sudden getting heaped new information on

505
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: him about you know, the potentiality of switching career paths

506
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 3: from being a quarterback of a New York team to

507
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 3: all of a sudden being the co leader of the

508
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: of the Free World.

509
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 4: I mean, that's something that you would have to take.

510
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 3: Pause, and again, obviously there's still a general election all

511
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 3: that stuff, but you know what I'm saying, Like to

512
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 3: be a running mate of a serious can it in

513
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 3: that election?

514
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a big deal. That's something that you

515
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 4: have to take.

516
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 3: Plus so I mean you're talking about it like he's

517
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: throwing his hat into the political realm. Maybe he didn't

518
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 3: throw his hat into the political realm. Maybe this came

519
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 3: up out an out of the thin blue maybe all

520
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 3: of a sudden, RFK after having a couple of private

521
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 3: conversations with Aaron Rodgers went, you know what this guy's

522
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 3: got a good hat on his shoulder. I'm gonna ask

523
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 3: him if he would consider being my running mate. I'm

524
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 3: not gonna make him any promises, but you know what,

525
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 3: I'm whittling the field down to people who I feel

526
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 3: like could handle the spotlight. And Aaron Rodgers is a

527
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 3: guy who, in my opinion, can handle the spotlight. I'm

528
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: gonna get on the phone with Aaron, and then all

529
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 3: of a sudden, Aaron takes this phone call, and maybe

530
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 3: a week ago he's thinking, I'm gonna play for the Jets,

531
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna win a championship, and then all of a

532
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 3: sudden he has this giant new piece of information that

533
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 3: he has to digest and figure out what to.

534
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: Do next with well, and if he wants to do that,

535
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: then by by Jets, and maybe they keep Zack Wilson.

536
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna get to Zach Wilson situation in the moment.

537
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: But first, let's find out what is trending month sas

538
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: Here's Happy Saint Patrick's Day, minds Happy.

539
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 7: Saint Patrick's stayfellash, tell me why on Saint Patrick's Day

540
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 7: the Milwaukee Bucks, who tend to be green are wearing blue?

541
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: Are they really right, like, what are we doing?

542
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: They've been wearing these blue uniforms a lot, and it's

543
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: like there was something that always appealed to me about

544
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 2: the Bucks.

545
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: And they're green. Yes, it's a great color. I think

546
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: I love it.

547
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 2: You know, we think about the Masters, you think about Wimbledon, right,

548
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 2: I mean, they.

549
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 1: Got that green and it's a very appealing color.

550
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 2: No, the one thing the Bucks had to distinguish themselves.

551
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: But blue, I mean, come.

552
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 4: On, blue.

553
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 7: And so there's people in the stands wearing green because

554
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 7: normally they're green and also green for Saint Patrick's Day,

555
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 7: but they're wearing blue and the floor is blue.

556
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: Y'all.

557
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 8: I can't you have one job? Whoever was going for

558
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 8: poove this, you have one job?

559
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 7: Why the Bucks are playing without Giannis Antetakumpo.

560
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 8: This was announced.

561
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 7: He was out there shooting before the game, but he

562
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 7: is out due to left hamstring soreness. So right now,

563
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 7: after the first quarter, Bucks are beating the Suns thirty nine.

564
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 8: To thirty six. It is Selection Sunday.

565
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 7: Also, it all starts at six pm Eastern time after

566
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 7: the conclusion of the Big Ten Conference Tournament championship game

567
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 7: between Wisconsin and Illinois. We've got some games going on

568
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 7: right now. The Ivy League Final, it's still a close one.

569
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 7: Brown up on Yale forty eight forty.

570
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 8: Six, six minutes left in the game.

571
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 7: In the SEC Final, Auburn beating Florida sixteen to nine

572
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 7: halfway through.

573
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 8: The first half.

574
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 7: At the Atlantic ten Final, it's ooh, I don't know

575
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 7: how to say this name.

576
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 8: Dukensie, No dukin Ducaine. Is that how you're saying?

577
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 4: Can?

578
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, okay, listen, all right.

579
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 7: So it looks like kesny, but it's yeah, it's that

580
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 7: one beating VCU twenty four to eleven, six and a

581
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 7: half minutes to go in the first half. And we

582
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 7: also have the more than final round of the Players Championship.

583
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 7: Xander Schoffley has a one stroke lead over Wyndam Clark.

584
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 7: There both set to tee off around one forty pm

585
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 7: Eastern time, so now maybe, but they're supposed to tee

586
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 7: off soon. Those are the leaders at the Players Championship.

587
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: Back to you guys, all right.

588
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: Montzie, thank you very much about this Brown story. Rich

589
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 2: six minutes to go. Brown a team that was at

590
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 2: one point six and seventeen. They've won seven in a

591
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 2: row to get to thirteen and seventeen, and they are

592
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: now with a two point lead six minutes to go

593
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: in the IVY League Championship game against Yale. That would

594
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: be an unbelievable story, true March madness. By the way,

595
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 2: just like in basketball, a successful game plan starts with

596
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 2: the right players. The team at Tractors Supply brings hustle

597
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 2: and heart and that's what really sets them apart. So

598
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: lace up your sneakers, make the winning play by heading

599
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 2: to your local Tractor Supply store today. All right, let's

600
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 2: talk about the mess of what happened three years ago

601
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 2: in the NFL draft. Five quarterbacks taken in the first

602
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 2: fifteen picks and only one of them still with the team.

603
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: So Trey Lance, obviously a year ago sent out to Dallas,

604
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: Justin Fields now with the Steelers, Max Jones and Jacksonville.

605
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: The Jets are definitely getting rid of Zach Wilson. The

606
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 2: problem is no one wants him, Like there's there are

607
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: no takers. I mean, it could come down he's not

608
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 2: going to be a Jet. They signed to Rod Taylor

609
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 2: to back up Aaron Rodgers. It could come down for

610
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: a guy like Zack Wilson, where you literally get to

611
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 2: training camp and you're just hoping somebody gets hurt and

612
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: maybe there's a spot and they throw you in there.

613
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 2: That's this is why when we talk about teams that

614
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: are like got their side set on the draft, right,

615
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 2: all right, we're gonna find our franchise quarterback. And by

616
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: the way, the top pick in that draft, Trevor Lawrence,

617
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 2: by many accounts, actually took a step back in twenty

618
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: twenty three from where he ended up in twenty twenty two.

619
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 2: So the idea that you can start you to just

620
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 2: fix your quarterback situation the draft, it just doesn't happen

621
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: that very often.

622
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 4: Rich Yeah, yeah, listen.

623
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 3: I did this between the years I want to say

624
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 3: was two thousand and six to twenty sixteen.

625
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 4: I took a ten year patch. I did this a

626
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 4: couple of years ago. I should update this, but.

627
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 3: I took a ten year patch, or maybe it was

628
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 3: a twenty year patch, I forget now. And I just

629
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 3: looked at the quarterbacks who were taken during that time period,

630
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,479
Speaker 3: and I was fairly generous, like in other words, I

631
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 3: was an easy grater. And I looked at how many

632
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 3: of these quarterbacks you could consider a franchise quarterback, and

633
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 3: it comes out to about thirty eight percent. So just

634
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 3: shy a forty percent, which means that the misrate on

635
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 3: drafting a first round quarterback is sixty plus percent.

636
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you.

637
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 3: Are taking a gamble on and I mean, this is

638
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 3: a franchise shifting selection on a quarterback, one that is

639
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 3: undoubtedly a selection that is undoubtedly going to make or

640
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 3: break certain careers head coaches, front office personnel directors, general managers.

641
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 4: And it's going to be one of those situations.

642
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 3: Where if you don't get it right, your team's going

643
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 3: to stink for anywhere between three and eight years. Sometimes

644
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 3: it takes teams to recover from a bad first round

645
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 3: draft pick at that position. And I'm telling you when

646
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 3: people say, oh, this is a can't mispick, every time

647
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 3: I hear that, I think to myself, how many times

648
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 3: have I heard that?

649
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 4: And how many times has it been wrong?

650
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 2: More often than not it's wrong. Yep, let's make that clear.

651
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 2: More often than not it's wrong.

652
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 3: So so it's one of those things where drafter beware

653
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 3: if you are looking to the NFL draft, Chicago, who

654
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 3: just traded away Justin Fields, who, by the way, is

655
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 3: at very least competent I'm not saying he's gonna be great.

656
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that Justin Fields is the nex Patrick Mahomes.

657
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 3: I'm not saying he's the next Lamar Jackson. But he's competent.

658
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 3: You traded away a competent quarterback and you're putting all

659
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 3: your eggs in the potentially Caleb Williams basket.

660
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 4: I mean, I would.

661
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 3: Assume that's who the Chicago Bears are going to draft,

662
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 3: but we'll see. Man oh man, you better be one

663
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 3: hundred percent sure on a sixty percent hit or excuse me, misrate,

664
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 3: because that's what it is. You are drafting a position

665
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 3: in the first round that only forty percent and again

666
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 3: I'm being generous, there called thirty eight percent. Only thirty

667
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 3: eight percent get a franchise player out of that that

668
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 3: very fourth to it is draft position. But if you

669
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 3: get it wrong, you basically you dig your grave. I mean,

670
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 3: Ryan Poles, Matt Everflus, if they get it wrong on

671
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 3: Kayleb Williams, they are.

672
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: Gone all right.

673
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: On the other side, we continue to look at each

674
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 2: division and the quarterback situation sort of update you on

675
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 2: who's where. We're gonna switch over to the AFC North

676
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 2: by all accounts, the most competitive division right now in

677
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: the National Football League with the big circle around the

678
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers. Did they truly update their upgrade their quarterback

679
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 2: position to a point where they're there on the heels

680
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: up Baltimore, Cincinnati and Cleveland.

681
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna break it down. This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve.

682
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 2: Hartman and Rich Armurger Here Fox Sports Sunday. We are

683
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 2: live from the tyrack dot Com studios. I hope you're

684
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 2: gonna enjoy your Saint Patrick's Day today. Of course it's

685
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 2: a selection Sunday. We got five more automatic bids up

686
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,439
Speaker 2: for grabs and keep you updated on that. But yeah,

687
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 2: we're trying to settled. Most of the dust has settled

688
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 2: in terms of free agents, especially the musical chairs with

689
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 2: quarterbacks around the National Football League. So are sort of

690
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 2: breaking it down today division by division on where teams

691
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: stand AFC, North Rich obviously, Baltimore with Lamar Jackson. By

692
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 2: the way, his backup now is Joss Johnson, who has

693
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 2: any played with every team in the NFL.

694
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: Josh Johnson.

695
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Well, there are certain backups who went but

696
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 3: when their career ends, you're just like, oh wow, geez.

697
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 4: They pretty much played for everybody.

698
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 2: Tyler Huntley, by the way, who made the Pro Bowl,

699
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: remember that a couple of years ago. I think he

700
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 2: threw two touchdown passes that year, coming in for the

701
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 2: injured Lamar Jackson is a free agent, so we'll see

702
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 2: where he ends up. Of course, Cincinnati in great shape

703
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: with Joe Burrow, Jake Browning proven himself last year, very

704
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 2: capable backup Sean Watson, and now Jamis Winston with the

705
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns. Yeah, so now Jamis is the backup to

706
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson.

707
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: And that brings us to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, by all.

708
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 2: Accounts of Steelers are very conservative organization. Dare I say

709
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: they're rolling the dice, but at the right price tag.

710
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 2: So you bring in Russell Wilson on a one year

711
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 2: deal and he's making what a million dollars because the

712
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 2: other thirty eight millions coming courtesy of the Denver Broncos,

713
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 2: and Justin Fields is making what three million? So I

714
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,439
Speaker 2: mean they've got two quarterbacks rich right now for hundred

715
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 2: five million dollars. Yeah, the question is, are either one

716
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 2: of these guys the right fit for an organization with

717
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 2: the Steelers, And let me take it a step further.

718
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 2: Are they the right fit with their new hire as

719
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith.

720
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 3: Look, I think that Arthur Smith as a coordinator works

721
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 3: better than Arthur Smith the coach. And I've seen this before.

722
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 3: You've seen this before. Josh McDaniel's great example. Many years

723
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 3: working with Tom Brady in New England, many championships won,

724
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 3: many championship games and Super Bowls, participated in. But as

725
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,919
Speaker 3: a head coach twice, once with the Denver Broncos, once

726
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 3: with the Raiders did not worked out. Same thing with

727
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 3: Arthur Smith and the Falcons. No shame there, because he

728
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 3: gets another opportunity as an offensive coordinator in a stable

729
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 3: franchise with the.

730
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 4: Steelers who need help.

731
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 3: They hated their offensive coordinator, I mean the fans in

732
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 3: matt Canada. He was canned last season. So Arthur Smith

733
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 3: comes up and resumes his role as an offensive coordinator

734
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 3: in the AFC. And so I look at it as

735
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 3: a home run for him because he has two competent,

736
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 3: at very least competent quarterbacks in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.

737
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 3: Justin Field's high upside with his athleticism. Russell Wilson, if

738
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 3: he can get some of the whatever it is beside

739
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 3: the foot under control, because it appears to that's the

740
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 3: bigger issue than the actual game itself. Then this could

741
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 3: be a successful campaign for the Steelers.

742
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: It's interesting that it was about a month ago.

743
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 2: Adam Kaplan, our Fox Sports Radio NFL insider, came on

744
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 2: the show. My first question to him was who will

745
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 2: be the starting quarterback game one week one in twenty

746
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 2: twenty four. Without hesitation, he said Ryan Tannehill because of

747
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 2: his ties with Arthur Smith. YEP, well it's not going

748
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 2: to be Ryan Tannehill, who, by the way, is still

749
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 2: looking for a job.

750
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he will add it.

751
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 2: I mean, at the price tag they're getting, you know,

752
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 2: Fields and Wilson, maybe they can afford them. All Right,

753
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 2: We're going to continue on to talk about quarterbacks around

754
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 2: the NFL with free agency. Keep our eyes count down

755
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:46,840

764
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 2: up for grabs right now, and we are coming down

765
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: to the last seconds here in this IVY League championship

766
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 2: game between Brown and Yale.

767
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: Again, the Brown story is unreal.

768
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 2: This team was sitting at six and seventeen, six and seventeen,

769
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 2: coming to this championship game on a seven game winning streak. Obviously,

770
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 2: if they win this game they get the automatic bid,

771
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 2: they'll have a losing record. It's not unprecedented, but from

772
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: where they were to get to this point is unbelievable.

773
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 1: And oh, Yale just won.

774
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, Yale just one sixty two sixty one.

775
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: The dream for Brown ends.

776
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 9: Oh so, what a scrappy story for a university that

777
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,919
Speaker 9: never gets any respect at all at any point in time.

778
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 9: Yale Yeah, yeah exactly, Yale underdogs yeah from Nowheresville, Yeah.

779
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: So desperate for this.

780
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 2: So it came down to let's see exactly how this

781
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 2: ended here. So, uh, Brown was leading most of the

782
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 2: second half here, guys, and then it came down to

783
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 2: a shot at the buzzer Matt Nolan makes a jump

784
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 2: shot at the buzzer for Yale to get him the

785
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 2: victory and the automatic bid. So the Yale Bulldogs move

786
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 2: on the Brown Bears. So close, part of the March madness.

787
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 2: All right, So we still have four other conference championships

788
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 2: to be decided, and then of course the field is

789
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 2: sixty eight will be announced a little bit later on

790
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 2: this afternoon.

791
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: All right, Richie, Uh wow, I.

792
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 2: Feel so bad for Brown, that game so close, down

793
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 2: to a little less shut.

794
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 3: So Brian no I do the countdown to tip off

795
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 3: show with him, you know Fox Sports Radio bet MGM

796
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 3: every Saturday from six to nine am here on Fox.

797
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 3: And he was so mad that Brown, with a losing record,

798
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 3: was vying for a bid at or an auto bid

799
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 3: if they went, if they won the Ivy League that

800
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 3: all day yesterday. Why was he upset about it? That's

801
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 3: the beauty of it. Well, that's what I was saying.

802
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 3: I was like, No, I was like, listen, you gotta

803
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 3: do something right. I mean, I said, they're not getting

804
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 3: in on a lottery. It's not like they drew names

805
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 3: out of a hat. And Brown was lucky enough to

806
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 3: get their name pilled pulled I was like, they're going

807
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 3: to compete through the conference tournament.

808
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 4: And I was like, and they're going to.

809
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 3: Beat teams who are supposedly better than them, and if

810
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 3: that gains them entrance in to the Big Dance, so

811
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 3: be it.

812
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not going. They're not not as the IVY

813
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 2: League champion. You're not knocking any team out.

814
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 3: No, and and so he he was just like, no,

815
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 3: this is ridiculous. No team with a losing record, even

816
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 3: if you include the conference tournament wins.

817
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 4: He was like, they still have a losing record.

818
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 3: This is blowney so much so that he took the

819
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 3: in game line against Brown yesterday and they ended up

820
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 3: blowing the doors off of Oh who were they playing yesterday?

821
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 4: I forget now?

822
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 3: And then and then in the final here, all he's

823
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 3: been rooting for is Brown to get knocked out. So

824
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 3: there isn't this this team with a losing record in

825
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 3: the in the in March madness in the bracket. And

826
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 3: so I'm sure he's doing cartwheels right now.

827
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 2: All right, Well, there have been other teams that have

828
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 2: gotten into the NCAA Tournament with a record see worst

829
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 2: record and CAA Tournament.

830
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see that.

831
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me see here, because I know the have

832
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 2: been some awful records over the years because of these

833
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 2: conference tournaments.

834
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: He misses the point.

835
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 2: See, you know, it's funny when we talk about a

836
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 2: huge field of sixty eight schools and there's over three

837
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 2: hundred obviously when you talk about Division one all right here,

838
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 2: it is the worst record ever. So FIU in ninety five,

839
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 2: UCF in ninety six, and Fairfield in ninety seven all

840
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 2: were eleven eighteen.

841
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 4: That's not good.

842
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 2: Eleven and eighteen, right, and what happens They're seeded in

843
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 2: the sixteen seed matchup, first four matchup, and then they're gone.

844
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 4: Check this out.

845
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 3: How about the sixteen and fourteen I realized that's a

846
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 3: winning record, But they'll nova back in ninety one. They

847
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 3: got in and they are the team. Well I should

848
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 3: say they had the record or have the record for

849
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 3: the worst record A team has won the NCUBLE Double

850
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 3: a tournament since the inception, since the eighty five expansion.

851
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 2: Right, so since eighty five, I mean you had three

852
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 2: teams at eleven and eighteen, a couple of twelve and eighteen.

853
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 3: Oh part of me, they didn't win it that year.

854
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 3: They won a game in the tournament. So that's the

855
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,280
Speaker 3: worst record since ninety one. The worst record any team

856
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 3: has had winning a game in the tournament is sixteen

857
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 3: and fourteen.

858
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 4: It was Villanova in ninety one exactly.

859
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 2: So every single team that's had a losing record, and

860
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 2: I'm looking at a long list. This is since the

861
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 2: FEEL was expanded to sixty four games in nineteen eighty five.

862
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 2: None of them got out of the first round, none

863
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 2: of them with all the losing records out there.

864
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: So anyway, heartbreak for Brown today.

865
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 2: Congratulations to al four more automatic bids up for grabs

866
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 2: for the NCAA Tournament.

867
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: All right, I want to get back. We're just sort of.

868
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 2: Trying to figure out where we stand right now with

869
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 2: quarterbacks around the NFL. We talked about the AFC East,

870
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 2: we talked about the AFC North. Now here's the division,

871
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 2: the AFC South. I want to get into with you

872
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 2: because the quarterback situation seems pretty settled except for one team,

873
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 2: and maybe it is settled all right for Houston. Obviously

874
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 2: he got CJ. Stroud, Davis Mills as your backup. That's

875
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 2: pretty good, you know. That's a nice quarterback tandem there

876
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 2: with the Houston Texans. What do you think of the

877
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 2: Colts right now? You got Anthony Richardson and guess who

878
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 2: decided to come off the couch again, Joe Flacco, your

879
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 2: comeback player of the year. Flacco signs on as a

880
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 2: backup of the Colts.

881
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: I love that.

882
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 4: I love it too.

883
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 3: I think Anthony Richardson is a super talent when he's healthy.

884
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 3: But they had him on the field for I think

885
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 3: five games total, maybe six. He was only really healthy

886
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 3: for two of them. He got banged up in four

887
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 3: of them and then finished the season on the ir

888
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 3: Not a great start for a third overall pick. I'm

889
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 3: sure they're addressing a lot of that with his off

890
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 3: season training this year, and also Shane Steiken. He needs

891
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 3: to work on helping his quarterback protect himself. He needs

892
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 3: to craft the offense around ways to get him to

893
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 3: the ground quicker, to get him out of bounds, and

894
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,439
Speaker 3: also for him to learn how to slide away from

895
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 3: danger and to not take on that level of punishment.

896
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 3: Because you can do it at the college level, you

897
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 3: just can't do it at this level. He can't not

898
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 3: for a seventeen week season or a seventeen game season.

899
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 4: It's not gonna work. In terms of Joe Flacco.

900
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 3: The reason why it works is really because of the

901
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 3: multiplicity of a Shane Stiken offense. We've seen this last

902
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 3: year when Anthony Richardson goes down, Gardner Minshew, who's a

903
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 3: completely different player comes in and has success. So you

904
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 3: don't need to have the same type of quarterback like

905
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 3: in the Baltimore offense. The reason why they have Huntley,

906
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 3: or had Huntley backing him up Lamar for so long

907
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 3: is because you know, Tyler Huntley is very similar to

908
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson in some ways. He's a similar athlete. He's

909
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 3: a similar thrower of the football. He can sort of

910
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 3: jump in and run the Lamar offense, not as effectively,

911
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 3: but he can run that offense. With the Colts, they

912
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 3: don't have to worry about that. So I'm really I'm

913
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 3: excited about the pickup. I think it makes the AFC

914
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 3: self a lot better.

915
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe Flacco is the perfect backup because he understands

916
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,959
Speaker 2: his role. It's not like he's screaming to the coach,

917
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 2: hey give me a chance to be the number one. No, no,

918
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 2: that's not him at all. But you also know it

919
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 2: forced into action, he can get the job done. He's

920
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 2: a pros pro. So Colt's in great shape right now

921
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 2: at quarterback Jacksonville course with Trevor Lawrence and now Mac

922
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 2: Jones is his backup. And you know, for Doug Peterson,

923
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 2: he's just got to get mac Jones's head right. We

924
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 2: know what mac Jones is capable of. It just the

925
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 2: last couple of years have been such a nightmare with

926
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 2: the revolving door with offense coordinators.

927
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: What you want me to do?

928
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 2: And you could just see the self confidence that was

929
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 2: very evident when mac Jones was a rookie after his

930
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 2: big senior year at Alabama, carried over his rookie season

931
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 2: with the Patriots and by the end he was lost.

932
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 2: So he gets a chance to clear his head. I

933
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 2: think he's got the right situation in Jacksonville. I don't

934
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,959
Speaker 2: know what his future is. I'm sure mac Jones still

935
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 2: believes that he should have an opportunity to be a

936
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 2: starting quarterback somewhere in the NFL. But he's got to

937
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 2: get his head right, and I think Doug Peterson is

938
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 2: going to do that in Jacksonville.

939
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I like some of the things that Jacksonville

940
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 3: has done. Now, don't get me wrong, losing Calvin Ridley

941
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 3: is going to hurt their offense. He was Trevor Lawrence's

942
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 3: top target, however, was a short stint in Jacksonville in

943
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 3: the first place. And then you bring in a lesser

944
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 3: known player called Mitch Morse, who is a center who's

945
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 3: played with both Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. And when

946
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 3: you bring in experience like that helping shape young quarterback careers,

947
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:56,959
Speaker 3: having worked with some of the best who are doing

948
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 3: it in the same conference that Trevor Lawrence plays in,

949
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 3: I think that helps.

950
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,240
Speaker 4: And the same way we'll talk.

951
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 3: About Jason Kelcey being an integral part to the Philadelphia offense.

952
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 3: Any competence starting center is worth their weight in gold

953
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 3: to their offense. Now, they're not always paid that way.

954
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 3: Certain centers will get broken off and get big old contracts,

955
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 3: but the majority of them won't, but it doesn't understate

956
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 3: their importance.

957
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 4: You need to have a great center.

958
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 3: To have a great offense typically, and I think Mitch

959
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 3: Morris really elevates the IQ in the middle of that offense.

960
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 2: Then we have the Tennessee Titans, and I'm just trying

961
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 2: to figure this out right now. So you have Brian

962
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 2: Callahan is your new head coach, and your quarterbacks right

963
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:53,479
Speaker 2: now are Will Levis and Mason Rudolph.

964
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: Are you okay with that?

965
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,240
Speaker 4: I mean it's not enough.

966
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 3: If you're asking me, if I I think that the

967
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 3: Titans are all set at quarterback, move on to the

968
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 3: next priority, my answer would be no. Like, they absolutely

969
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 3: need to find a quarterback who can be the anchor

970
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 3: of that offense. And they're selecting seventh this season or

971
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 3: I should say in.

972
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 4: April, so.

973
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 3: There could be a QB that falls to that draft

974
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 3: slot that has great value at that draft slot. And

975
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 3: we watch what Callahan did with with Joe Burrow over

976
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 3: the years that he's been working in Cincinnati. Joe Burrow

977
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 3: was it was immediately obvious he could play at this level.

978
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 4: But he did.

979
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 3: Progress, you know, and by the way he progressed in

980
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 3: spite of some serious adversity. He had the knee injuries

981
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 3: rookie year, he didn't get to play in any of

982
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 3: his training camps due to injuries. So far, this career

983
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,240
Speaker 3: of his, and it's a short career, has been highly

984
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 3: successful regardless of the amount of time that he's missed

985
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 3: on the practice field. And I give a lot of

986
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 3: crid to credit to Brian Callahan as a result of that.

987
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,720
Speaker 3: So I'm very curious to see what they do at seven.

988
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 3: My guess is they take a quarterback because of how

989
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 3: unsettled that position looks on paper right now.

990
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,320
Speaker 2: Well, again, they took Will Levis high in the second

991
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 2: round and he got off to a good start, didn't

992
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 2: end so well, but you just I mean, they've been

993
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 2: turning pages on quarterbacks over the last couple of years.

994
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 2: Of course, you could always resign the old quarterback still

995
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 2: looking for a job in Ryan Tannehill. So yeah, that's

996
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 2: a big circle right there. Tennessee could go in a

997
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 2: lot of different directions. I don't even dismiss Mason Rudolph.

998
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 2: I mean, he actually played pretty well for the Steelers

999
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 2: down the stretch. So we'll see where they go. All right,

1000
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 2: let's turn on the other side. We're going to get

1001
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 2: to that final division in the AFC AFC West, and

1002
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 2: right at the top of the charts is one team

1003
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 2: that has a lot of explaining to do in terms

1004
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,280
Speaker 2: of their current quarterback situation.

1005
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna break it down. This is Fox Sports Sunday.

1006
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 2: Steve Harvin and Rich Armburger here Fox Sports Sunday, Happy

1007
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 2: Saint Patrick's Day count down to the selection of the

1008
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 2: field of sixty eight. We got it going on on

1009
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 2: the Sunday. We're live from the tai Iraq dot com studios.

1010
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 2: And by the way, the Fox Sports Radio Bracket Challenge

1011
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 2: is live tonight at Fox Sports Radio dot Com. So

1012
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 2: here's how it goes. You register, you get the rules,

1013

1015
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 2: Graduate Hotels where college fans stay and Tractor Supply. I

1016
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 2: have to say this rich every single year we're asked,

1017
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 2: you know, to fill out our brackets so everyone else

1018
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 2: out there can challenge us.

1019
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: And it gets very complicated for me. You know, I'm

1020
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: not really up.

1021
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 2: To speed on a lot of these things, and I

1022
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 2: seem to get confused many times I'm trying to put

1023
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 2: my brackets together. I eventually I figure it out, but

1024
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 2: it seems like every year there's a slightly different format.

1025
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 2: So yeah, you do you fill out more than one

1026
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 2: bracket or you just stay with the one bracket.

1027
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 4: Typically I fill out more than one.

1028
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 3: This year, I could see it only be one, but

1029
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 3: I usually today's day if it's gonna be more than one.

1030
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get dragged into it by friends from back

1031
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 3: home or you know, people around the neighborhood.

1032
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 4: It's always one of the neighborhood.

1033
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 3: Dads who usually gets me is like, hey, hey, I

1034
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 3: know it's last minute, but and then all you gotta

1035
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 3: do is either a copy the bracket you just filled

1036
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 3: out or I just kind of make a more randomized

1037
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 3: although I hate doing that because every time I do that,

1038
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 3: I get to my final four or even my Elite eight,

1039
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 3: and I'm like, there is no way that this is

1040
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 3: the handful plus of teams I are going to be

1041
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 3: left Like, I like, so I have to, and then I.

1042
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 4: End up spending more time than I need to.

1043
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 3: It's just one bracket is probably enough, but usually I

1044
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 3: end up I would say my average is three brackets

1045
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 3: is what I end up with.

1046
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 2: Well, I tell you what, I get a break this

1047
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 2: year with UCLA not in the tournament. That's always a

1048
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 2: problem for me because you don't want a situation in

1049
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 2: your brackets where you're losing. You're rooting against your school, right, Yeah,

1050
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 2: remember u CLA three years ago went from the first

1051
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 2: four to the final four. Only VC you had ever

1052
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 2: done that before, and I had UCLA out and like

1053
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 2: you know, I think they I had him winning the

1054
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 2: first four game, but that was it and they killed me.

1055
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 2: I mean, they just they obliterated my brackets. So I'm

1056
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 2: rooting for my Bruins. But at the same time, they

1057
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,439
Speaker 2: ruined me with the brackets that year. So, by the way,

1058
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 2: Rich sent me a photo of my big head. So

1059
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 2: this was one of those you saw the other day

1060
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 2: where the guy rolled the golf ball the.

1061
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 1: Length of the basketball court.

1062
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, into the hole that literally's only wide enough

1063
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 2: barely for the golf ball to fit through.

1064
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 4: Yep.

1065
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 2: I mean, if you don't hit a dead center, I mean,

1066
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 2: the odds of this are you have better odds of

1067
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 2: winning the lottery honestly than making that putt. But we

1068
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 2: actually did something similar at the station a couple of

1069
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 2: years ago, where you had a chance to putt into

1070
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 2: a big head. I can't believe that thing is still

1071
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 2: Where'd you find that thing?

1072
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1073
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 3: Somebody else found it in the old studio and I

1074
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 3: was like, well, that will be prominently displayed until somebody

1075
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 3: else takes it down. So the funniest part is, so

1076
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 3: this giant blown up picture of your head.

1077
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 4: It gets put up in the studio.

1078
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 3: I take a picture of it and send it to you,

1079
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 3: and your response is.

1080
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 4: I'm always watching you, Richie.

1081
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 2: Always always watching you. You feel my presence everywhere you go.

1082
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 2: All right, we're continuing on here. We're almost done with

1083
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 2: the AFC. I want to get through all these divisions

1084
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 2: because again, a lot of people listening out there, because

1085
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 2: there's been such a flurry of activity, maybe lost a

1086
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 2: few of the stories about which quarterbacks are where. Let's

1087
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 2: go to the AFC West. We've covered all the other

1088
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 2: divisions in the AFC. Obviously you start with Patrick Mahomes

1089
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 2: and Casey Blaine Gabbert.

1090
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: Is their backup? Is that good enough?

1091
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1092
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I look, the fact of the

1093
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 3: matter is Patrick Mahomes has been so durable. Part of

1094
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 3: the reason, part of the mystique of Tom Brady was

1095
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 3: his availability. I understand, like, there are plenty of subpar

1096
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 3: quarterbacks who play a ton of football and they never

1097
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 3: quite get to that to that platitude. But if you

1098
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 3: are talented and you also have staying power on the

1099
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 3: field like Brady did over two decades, like it's appearing

1100
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 3: Mahomes has over this first decade of his career. Well,

1101
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 3: then it doesn't really matter who your backup is as

1102
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 3: long as they can help you effectively see the defense

1103
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 3: on game days, they can be helpful in the QB room,

1104
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 3: and when they do get called upon to finish a

1105
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 3: game or to start for a couple of games if

1106
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 3: you're injured, that they're not going to allow the wheels

1107
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 3: to completely come off during a successful season.

1108
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 2: Well, I know when I said Blaine Gabbard, there were

1109
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 2: a lot of people listening saying he's still in the league. Yeah,

1110
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 2: he is, and he's another one of those guys.

1111
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's like to play the different still in

1112
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: the league.

1113
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Chargers right now obviously have Herbert and Eastern Stick.

1114
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: They're going to keep on. I thought Stick looked Okay.

1115
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 2: We'll see exactly how Jim Harbor feels about Eastern Stick

1116
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 2: once we get to training camp, whether he's you know,

1117
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 2: good enough to be the backup. But again with a

1118
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 2: guy like Justin Herbert who had some injuries last year,

1119
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 2: but he's seems like a pretty sturdy guy. Uh. In

1120
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 2: terms of that, all right, Like I'm going to go

1121
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 2: to the Raiders right now, So as we sit here.

1122
00:59:56,760 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 2: The Las Vegas Raiders, who I think wisely to keep

1123
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 2: Antonio Pears as their coach, have Gardner Minshew and Aiden O'Connell.

1124
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 1: How are you feeling about that duo?

1125
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Minshew Minshew played like a a mid

1126
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 3: range starter last year. I would probably still jurisdict him

1127
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 3: as a high level backup in this league. But there's

1128
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 3: a lot of I say that, but and again I'm

1129
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 3: speaking out of both sides of my mouth when I

1130
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 3: say this. I say that, but the fact of the

1131
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 3: matter is there's a bunch of teams that would have

1132
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 3: loved to have Gardner Minshew last year, whether we're due

1133
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 3: to injury or how the season panned out for them

1134
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 3: with their name starter, Gardner Minshew performed well, and he

1135
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 3: performs well when he's given opportunities to start. So I

1136
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 3: like Minschew. I don't know if he's the long term

1137
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 3: answer in Las Vegas. I highly doubt that that's the

1138
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 3: plan for him to be the quarterback that you know,

1139
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 3: usher's in the new era for the Silver and Black.

1140
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 3: But I don't mind their quarterback room. I again, everybody's

1141
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 3: chasing the chiefs. But I like Gardner Minshew enough where

1142
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 3: I think if the Raiders surround him with enough talent,

1143
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 3: that could potentially be a playoff team as a wildcard.

1144
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: I don't forget a and O'Connell had moments last year.

1145
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 4: He did.

1146
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he at least you.

1147
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 2: Could say, pass the eyeball test in terms of can

1148
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 2: you play in the league.

1149
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1150
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, the ceiling is low on aid and O'Connell, but

1151
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 2: at the very least he didn't look overwhelmed by the

1152
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 2: opportunity had a year ago to play quarterback.

1153
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: All right.

1154
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 2: On the other side, though, we're going to get to

1155
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 2: a team with a self created mess at quarterback and

1156
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 2: you know who we're talking about. But first, let's find

1157
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 2: out what is trending right now. And Mancy, I'm still

1158
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 2: heartbroken about Brown. I just saw the highlight of the Yale.

1159
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 7: Let's let's listen to it, because yes, it's not it's

1160
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 7: it's heartbreaking for some and uh, very exciting for others. Right,

1161
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 7: but yes, the IVY League Final down to the wire.

1162
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 4: Oh he's gonna inbound it. Here, m bang in the

1163
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 4: backcourt and Wolf at the three point line. They find

1164
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 4: Wolf with five seconds remaining. He stopped finds Imbank.

1165
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 1: Crosses over into Nolan Noling.

1166
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 10: I know, hold on, hold on, swin, Y'll go No,

1167
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 10: Oh my god, that Nolan shot by.

1168
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 7: Nolan WYBC Sports Yale Radio.

1169
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1170
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 7: Brown was up by one with fourteen seconds. They were

1171
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 7: also up by five with one minute to go. They

1172
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 7: missed two free throws down at the end. Yale makes

1173
01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 7: that uncontested shot. He was alone and I I was

1174
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 7: talking to our editor crandall that the guy who took

1175
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 7: that shot for Yale, my coach would have yelled at

1176
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 7: me for not banking in that shot. He was so

1177
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 7: close to the basket and just threw it in instead of

1178
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 7: banking it in. Yes, if you would have missed that shot,

1179
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 7: it would have been but he did it.

1180
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 1: But he didn't.

1181
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 8: Yale is advancing. They're going to the dance.

1182
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 7: They ended up beating Brown sixty two to sixty one.

1183
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 8: Heartbreak for some just pure joy for others.

1184
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 7: In the SEC Final, Auburn is still up on Florida

1185
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 7: forty three to forty one with seventeen minutes to go

1186
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 7: in the game, while Ducaine is still holding onto their

1187
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 7: lead over a VCU in the Atlantic ten Final.

1188
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 8: Thirty eight to thirty two, twelve minutes to go. In

1189
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 8: that one.

1190
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 7: Moving on to the NBA again, the Bucks are playing

1191
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 7: with al Janna Santa to coompo.

1192
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 8: But it has not been a problem.

1193
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 7: They're still on top of the Suns ninety one to

1194
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 7: sixty nine with about seven and a half minutes to

1195
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 7: go in the third quarter.

1196
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 8: At the Players.

1197
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 7: Championship, Xander Shoffley is still in the lead. He's officially

1198
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 7: teed off along with Wyndham Clark, but Xander Shoffley still

1199
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 7: in the lead by one stroke, eighteen under par overall.

1200
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, all right, monsie, thank you very

1201
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 2: very much.

1202
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: March madness, my soul effect in full effect.

1203
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 2: All right, I can't wait, can't wait, fill out those brackets,

1204
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 2: get ready for this year's NCAA basketball tournament. In the meantime,

1205
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 2: we're taking stock of where we stand quarterback wise around

1206
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 2: the National Football League, and right now in terms of

1207
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 2: starting quarterback, this team is dead last in the league.

1208
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: Now.

1209
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 2: They weren't before with Russell Wilson. You may say they

1210
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 2: were middle of the pack at quarterback, but they are

1211
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 2: officially thirty second in quarterback right now. The Denver Broncos

1212
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 2: quarterback is Jared Stidham and.

1213
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 1: They have the twelfth pick in the draft.

1214
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 4: They're kind of stuck right in the middle.

1215
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 1: Huh. So it's like, I don't know exactly what your

1216
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 1: game plan.

1217
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 2: And by the way, eating eighty million dollars paying out

1218
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 2: thirty eight million dollars for Russ Wilson to play for

1219
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers this year. So let's talk about moving

1220
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 2: up in the draft. So if you look at the

1221
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 2: draft right now, Rich, you figure the Bears gonna go

1222
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 2: with Caleb Williams.

1223
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels is gonna go to the Commanders too.

1224
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 2: Drake made of the Patriots three all right, and the

1225
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 2: Cardinals seemed to have their heartset of Marvin Harrison Junior,

1226
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 2: which I think would be a good play for them.

1227
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 1: Chargers at five.

1228
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the Chargers are in a pickle because I

1229
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 2: just love what Keenan Allen did to them, Like they

1230
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 2: reworked his deal last year, right, and then they came

1231
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 2: back to him saying, hey, would you take a pay

1232
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 2: cut and he basically said, f you, no way, not

1233
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 2: doing it. He ends up getting traded to the Bears.

1234
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 2: So is ever right now because now they may resign

1235
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 2: Mike Williams. There is a possibility of that because now

1236
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 2: with Keenan Allen gone, they do have some cap space.

1237
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 2: But if I'm looking at this Chargers roster, rich, I mean,

1238
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 2: could they go with a new doonsay, can they go

1239
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 2: in neighbors?

1240
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: Could they go with brock Bowers?

1241
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 2: I mean there's weapons out there that would certainly be

1242
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 2: of great value to Justin Herbert, But to me, they

1243
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 2: need a lot more than that. And then you have

1244
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 2: to look at let's say the Broncos at twelve to

1245
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 2: move up to five, I mean you got to give up.

1246
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: Your number one pick next year.

1247
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no way the Chargers are gonna move

1248
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 2: from five to twelve unless you give them the number

1249
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 2: one pick the next year. I don't see the Broncos

1250
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 2: doing that either. I mean, the Broncos have a lot

1251
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 2: of work to do. Plus you're talking about teams in

1252
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 2: the same division. Yeah, so the Broncos are really in

1253
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 2: no man's land. If you have a Michael Pennix junior

1254
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 2: sitting there or a bow Nick sitting there, because I

1255
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 2: think McCarthy's gonna be gone, what are the Broncos gonna do?

1256
01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 1: What is their game plan for the quarterback position?

1257
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 3: Well, for the Broncos, I think you either have to

1258
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 3: find a team who's a willing trade partner. Maybe it's

1259
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 3: the Patriots, you know, because we just discussed this like

1260
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 3: they could get an absolute haul. Oh but but then again,

1261
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 3: I I'm you know, I'm gonna have to look it

1262
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 3: up and see how much capital the Broncos have left

1263
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 3: down you'd.

1264
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 2: Have to give up for multiple number ones. I'm look

1265
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 2: at some of these trades that teams have made. Remember

1266
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 2: the Trey Lance deal, yep. I mean, if you wanted

1267
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 2: to get New England at three to go after let's

1268
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 2: say a Drake may and I'm New England, we're talking

1269
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 2: obviously your twelve pick and two other number ones and multiple.

1270
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: Twos and threes.

1271
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 2: I could see look at look at what what the

1272
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 2: Rams had to give up to move up to the

1273
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 2: number one slot to get Jared Goff.

1274
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 1: I mean that was six picks.

1275
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 3: I I really could see the Vikings or Denver and

1276
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 3: I could see one of those two teams trying to

1277
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 3: convince the Patriots to move off of number three.

1278
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 4: I really could, And I don't know if they will.

1279
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 4: I you know, it just.

1280
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 3: Depends on how much Drod Mayo and his staff are

1281
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:18,680
Speaker 3: in love with the quarterbacks that or quarterback that is

1282
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 3: remaining on their draft board after a couple of teams. Okay,

1283
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 3: so check this out. I'm looking this up to see

1284
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 3: like what we saw.

1285
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 4: Okay.

1286
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 3: Entering draft Day in twenty twelve, the Vikings held the

1287
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 3: number three pick. They traded down to number four with

1288
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Browns.

1289
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:36,719
Speaker 4: That day.

1290
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 3: In return, they got obviously the the third pick. Let's

1291
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 3: see Trent Ridgers in Minnesota only received Day three picks

1292
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 3: in returns, getting a fourth, a fifth, and a seventh

1293
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 3: rounder from Cleveland. But again that's that's swapping picks and

1294
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,759
Speaker 3: a team moving up one pick, so you get three

1295
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 3: picks back pick, you know, I I mean we we

1296
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 3: talked about look.

1297
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 1: At the Trey Lance deal.

1298
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 2: What did the forty nine ers give up to move

1299
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,880
Speaker 2: all the way to number three in the draft, Because

1300
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 2: that's what we're talking about here. They gave up a

1301
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,639
Speaker 2: boatload to get that pick.

1302
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean you're now that's what.

1303
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 2: You're looking at to get from, as you mentioned, either

1304
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 2: Minnesota at eleven or Denver at twelve to move up

1305
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 2: to number three.

1306
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:37,759
Speaker 1: It's multiple ones.

1307
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 4: It's tricky.

1308
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:42,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, the forty nine ers trade to draft tray

1309
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 3: Lance might be the baseline of what the Patriots are

1310
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:48,639
Speaker 3: looking for. Okay, so month before the draft, the forty

1311
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 3: nine Ers gave up the twelve overall pick plus their

1312
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 3: first rounders in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three.

1313
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 1: That's what we're looking at with their.

1314
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty two third round pick to get the third

1315
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 4: overall pick from the dull And so it's the trade.

1316
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 3: So the baseline's going to be swapping your first rounders

1317
01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 3: and then two more first rounders.

1318
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 4: That's exactly that's and that's that's where the conversation.

1319
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 2: You're the Denver Broncos of the Minnesota Vikings, are you

1320
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 2: doing that? I mean it was a disaster for the

1321
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 2: forty nine ers, only saved by the lucking into Brock party,

1322
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,600
Speaker 2: but otherwise it would have been a catastrophe.

1323
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 3: So you have Vikings, Broncos and Raiders. Yes, now, I

1324
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 3: mean you look at it. The Vikings they got Sam Donald,

1325
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 3: the Raiders they got Gardner Minshew. But the Broncos they're

1326
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 3: sitting on Jared's stidham. So it does feel like the

1327
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 3: most likely, the most likely to trade up. Does feel

1328
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:42,799
Speaker 3: like it's the Broncos.

1329
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 2: Well wait, a second, the Vikings are sitting on Sam Donald. Yes,

1330
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 2: that's why I said, Yeah, so you have Sam Donald

1331
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 2: versus Jared Stidham. That's pretty that's a swap, you know,

1332
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 2: that's pretty close. Look again, eating eighty million dollars for

1333
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 2: the Walton family is pocket change. It's the richest family

1334
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 2: in America. We said this from the day they sign

1335
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 2: on Sean Payton that he has more control than any

1336
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 2: other coach in this league. Right now, now the Belichick

1337
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 2: is left New England. Believe me, no coach has more

1338
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 2: control over an organization.

1339
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I just.

1340
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:27,960
Speaker 2: And it's not like, you know, like Pittsburgh you say,

1341
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 2: all right, well they have a defense, or even New England. Right,

1342
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 2: Denver's defense got better last year as this season progressed,

1343
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:38,759
Speaker 2: but they're not exactly a juggernaut on the defensive side.

1344
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 2: And you also got rid of Judy, who was an

1345
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:44,680
Speaker 2: underperformer in Denver. I don't know, I mean, to me,

1346
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:48,679
Speaker 2: it's an absolute mess. So we'll say how much patience

1347
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:52,680
Speaker 2: they have. By the way, I was talking earlier to

1348
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 2: well a couple people about this, but yeah, no one

1349
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 2: seems to have an answer on exactly what Denver is

1350
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 2: going to do. But if I'm the Broncos and the

1351
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 2: asking price to move up to number three is two

1352
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 2: future number ones, no, not doing it?

1353
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, well listen, I get it. And and this goes

1354
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,439
Speaker 4: back to the original conversation we were having.

1355
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:20,799
Speaker 3: You better be one hundred percent sure on a selection

1356
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 3: that has been a sixty percent plus mis rate. So

1357
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:29,719
Speaker 3: if you're going to trade away not only your future

1358
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 3: next year, but potentially your future first round or the

1359
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 3: year after that, most likely your future first round there

1360
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 3: the year after that, and that's where the conversation starts.

1361
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 3: You better be sure you're drafting CJ. Strout, You better

1362
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 3: be sure you're drafting Peyton Manning. You better be sure

1363
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 3: you're drafting Aaron Rodgers. You better be sure you're drafting

1364
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 3: a franchise player who so obviously has it from the

1365
01:12:57,640 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 3: moment they leave the gates.

1366
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 4: Well, and Peyton mann wasn't even that.

1367
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 3: To be perfectly honest with you, that Aaron Rodgers sat

1368
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 3: on the bench for three years.

1369
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 4: CJ.

1370
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 3: Shroud is the best example I gave you because he

1371
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,800
Speaker 3: walked through the doors NFL ready. Peyton Manning's first year,

1372
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:14,960
Speaker 3: he set the interception I shouldn't say record, but.

1373
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 1: No record for rookies.

1374
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:20,040
Speaker 3: For rookies, yeah yeah, And you look at Aaron Rodgers.

1375
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 3: He's sat behind far for years. But there are a

1376
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:25,880
Speaker 3: special few quarterbacks who burst onto the scene, make an

1377
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 3: automatic impact, and when given opportunities, they continue to progress

1378
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 3: and get better. That those selections are even rarer. So

1379
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:41,679
Speaker 3: we're talking about probably now ten percent, a ninety percent

1380
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 3: mis rate on the type of quarterback you're looking for

1381
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 3: if you trade away that kind of draft capital. The

1382
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 3: forty nine ers clearly thought they had it right with

1383
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 3: Trey Lance. They were wrong. And so if Denver or

1384
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:57,680
Speaker 3: Vegas or Minnesota are looking up looking to trade up

1385
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 3: to number three with the Patriots, they better make sure

1386
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 3: that they're one hundred percent right on a ninety percent

1387
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:04,760
Speaker 3: mis rate.

1388
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:05,599
Speaker 1: All right.

1389
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:09,679
Speaker 2: So in the AFC, teams that still have to figure

1390
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 2: out their quarterback situation New England, the Jets at least

1391
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 2: long term, Denver, the Raiders, Pittsburgh, Tennessee. Yeah, okay, so

1392
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 2: those are teams in the AFC that still have to

1393
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 2: answer a few questions before they settle in on the

1394
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,719
Speaker 2: quarterback position. On the other side, we're gonna get started

1395
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:36,080
Speaker 2: with the NFC. This is for you, Bo. We're gonna

1396
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:38,880
Speaker 2: start with the NFC East and I'm looking at a

1409
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 3: goes without saying every year. This year will be no different.

1410
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 3: I get the crock pot out and let that sucker

1411
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 3: actually got it on the counter right now.

1412
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 4: Let that sucker just go all day long.

1413
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:31,479

1414
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:34,519
Speaker 4: Fork tender and man, that's the way to do it.

1415
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:35,560
Speaker 1: That is delicious.

1416
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 2: All right, Let's continue our journey around the NFL as

1417
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 2: we're trying to make some sense of the quarterback situation

1418
01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 2: with so many quarterbacks changing teams during this one crazy

1419
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 2: week of free agency in the National Football League. All right, Bo,

1420
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:53,160
Speaker 2: we're going to get you into this because it is

1421
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:57,599
Speaker 2: a time to discuss the NFC East. So the teams

1422
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:00,600
Speaker 2: at the top the Dallas Cowboys. Obviously with dak Prescott,

1423
01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:02,879
Speaker 2: you got Cooper Rush, and don't forget you still.

1424
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:05,680
Speaker 1: Have Trey Lance. I don't know. I mean, what do

1425
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:06,599
Speaker 1: you do with Trey.

1426
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 2: Lance if you're the Cowboys right now?

1427
01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:11,800
Speaker 3: Rich, Well, if you're the Cowboys, you keep developing him

1428
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,720
Speaker 3: because you didn't get them for very much. I mean,

1429
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 3: it was a fourth round draft pick sent to the

1430
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 3: forty nine ers, So you treat him as if you

1431
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:24,800
Speaker 3: would treat a drafted fourth rounder. You know, you keep

1432
01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 3: trying to develop him, see if there's a future for

1433
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:30,639
Speaker 3: him with your team, and if there isn't, obviously there

1434
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 3: may still be draft value on him depending on how

1435
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:39,040
Speaker 3: much teams covet him based off of how highly he

1436
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:42,320
Speaker 3: projected the year he was coming out of North Dakota

1437
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:44,679
Speaker 3: State back in I think that was twenty twenty one.

1438
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:47,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was that infamous draft that we talked about

1439
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 2: all these quarterbacks falling by the waystsides. Of course, with

1440
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 2: the Eagles you got Jalenhers. Now you got Kenny Pickett.

1441
01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:56,840
Speaker 2: Pigott under a lot of criticism from people that he

1442
01:16:56,920 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 2: basically gave up in Pittsburgh. Like, you know, so they

1443
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:04,880
Speaker 2: signed Russell Wilson, and instead of sort of standing up

1444
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:07,960
Speaker 2: for himself saying, well, he's gonna have to beat me out,

1445
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 2: he pretty much waved the flag and they end up,

1446
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:14,760
Speaker 2: you know, giving the guy that was a first round

1447
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 2: pick two years ago, has a winning record as a

1448
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 2: quarterback in the National Football League and he's gone and

1449
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 2: now obviously a backup with the Eagles.

1450
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 3: Look, Kenny pick It, he at least to this point,

1451
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 3: has not played like a fifteenth or I guess he would.

1452
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:39,519
Speaker 1: Do it was was the twentieth pick.

1453
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:41,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, twentieth overall selection.

1454
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:44,240
Speaker 3: I mean that that is that is a player that

1455
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 3: they missed on, and that's fine.

1456
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:47,360
Speaker 4: It happens.

1457
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 3: Like I like I told you, the hit rate is

1458
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 3: about forty percent in the first round. In terms of

1459
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 3: selecting a franchise quarterback, I'm not even talking about a

1460
01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:00,000
Speaker 3: future Hall of Famer. I'm not talking about a quarterback

1461
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 3: who is considered one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

1462
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 4: Just a quarterback too good to.

1463
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 3: Not cut trade move on from, you know, use as

1464
01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 3: a bridge quarterback as you get ready for the next

1465
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 3: era at your quarterback position. A franchise quarterback, the hit

1466
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 3: rate is forty percent in the first round. So he's

1467
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,680
Speaker 3: a part of the other side of that statistic, the

1468
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 3: larger side of that statistic. The problem is if you

1469
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 3: look at his you know, achievements and how he's played

1470
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 3: over the course of his career. I mean, you would

1471
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:36,760
Speaker 3: probably put like a mid round draft grade on the guy.

1472
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:40,639
Speaker 3: But the Steelers were desperate, they overdrafted him, and they're

1473
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,479
Speaker 3: reaping what they sew. In fact, they're no longer reaping

1474
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 3: what they sew. They've shipped them out to Philadelphia.

1475
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 2: I saw one rating of quarterbacks current ratio of starting

1476
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the NFL. They had Dak Prescott at number

1477
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:58,639
Speaker 2: five and Jalen Hurts at fifteen. I'll ask you right now, Rich,

1478
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 2: if you were choosing a quarterback between Dak Prescott and

1479
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts right now in the present, which quarterback are

1480
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:06,719
Speaker 2: you taking?

1481
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:15,800
Speaker 4: Boy? You know what quarterback do I trust more? Dak Prescott?

1482
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:15,760
Speaker 4: I don't.

1483
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 3: I don't agree that the distance between the two quarterbacks

1484
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 3: is that far. I don't think i'd put ten players

1485
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:25,200
Speaker 3: between the two of them, But I trust Dak Prescott more.

1486
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:28,919
Speaker 3: Here's the problem for Dak in the postseason. His records

1487
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:32,880
Speaker 3: two and five. And it's not always Dak's fault, but

1488
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 3: this past postseason he didn't play a great game. And

1489
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 3: so you start you start doing the math here, and

1490
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 3: you start thinking about what this is all for. It's

1491
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 3: about winning championships. And Dak Prescott's been in Dallas for

1492
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 3: a long time and they have zero championships to show.

1493
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask bo bo if right now you

1494
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 2: could make a straight up trade Jalen Hurts for Dak Prescott.

1495
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:54,599
Speaker 1: Would you do it?

1496
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 11: No?

1497
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:58,160
Speaker 1: No, not with them giving an opportunity, Not with what.

1498
01:19:58,200 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 11: Dak has going on, in the fact that he's about

1499
01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:01,920
Speaker 11: to get sixty million dollars a year. No, thank you,

1500
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:03,840
Speaker 11: I'm okay, Well.

1501
01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 1: Just the money aside.

1502
01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:07,799
Speaker 11: No, I still wouldn't. I still wouldn't.

1503
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:09,840
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we're up against it with the top

1504
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:10,639
Speaker 1: of the hour.

1505
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:12,800
Speaker 2: But on the other side, we're gonna talk about the

1506
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 2: other two teams.

1507
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:18,599
Speaker 1: The Giant situation. And by the way, there's there's a.

1508
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:20,680
Speaker 4: Ty do you laugh the Giant What do you mean

1509
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 4: you laugh?

1510
01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 2: Oh, there's there's a twist to their story that a

1511
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:25,600
Speaker 2: lot of people aren't even discussing.

1512
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 4: Is it Tommy DeVito go there?

1513
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:30,840
Speaker 2: That's only part of it. And then there's the Watch Commanders.

1514
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,760
Speaker 2: Is their future actually set after the draft? Keep it here.

1515

1533
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 1: Way, just one slight detour here. Couple.

1534
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:37,600
Speaker 2: Actually, first of all, I want to update from a

1535
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 2: week ago with Lucky Leshu and his oscar picks.

1536
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:43,920
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, update me on how many hits we

1537
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 4: had there?

1538
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:47,439
Speaker 2: All right, So there were twenty three categories, and he

1539
01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:52,040
Speaker 2: was very disappointed. He was eighteen and five, and of

1540
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 2: course that sounds like a great record, but I mean,

1541
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes he goes twenty one and two and

1542
01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:59,960
Speaker 2: where he missed four of the five categories he missed

1543
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 2: was poor Things. He had Poor Things not winning a

1544
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 2: single oscar and at won four, including Emma Stone upsetting

1545
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 2: Lily Gladstone in that Best Actress category. So outside of

1546
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 2: that he was near flawless as he usually is. But

1547
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:18,600
Speaker 2: I want to come clean on that because you know,

1548
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 2: he's so remarkable. It's not like eighteen and five is awful,

1549
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 2: like who else does that? Like he got every live short,

1550
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:28,599
Speaker 2: you know, he nailed every one of those categories. But

1551
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:30,760
Speaker 2: for some reason he just thought Poor Things was going

1552
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:34,400
Speaker 2: to get overlooked, and it won like makeup, production design,

1553
01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:38,080
Speaker 2: costume design, and of course best Actress.

1554
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:39,600
Speaker 1: So that was on him.

1555
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 2: The other thing is as we go into this tournament

1556
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,600
Speaker 2: for the men, obviously we're also going to get the

1557
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:51,400
Speaker 2: tournament field set for the ladies. And there's little argument

1558
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 2: in the fact that the most celebrated college basketball player

1559
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 2: this year by Leapiers is Caitlyn Clark, Right, I mean,

1560
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:10,360
Speaker 2: she is the biggest star men's or women's star in

1561
01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 2: terms of people wanting to see them play.

1562
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 4: Oh well, that's the reason why. I wa.

1563
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 3: You know, anytime they're on Fox or CBS, they crushed

1564
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:25,960
Speaker 3: the ratings. I mean, you had the highest rated college

1565
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:31,880
Speaker 3: basketball games were this regular season, I should say were

1566
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 3: women's Hawkeyes games.

1567
01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:37,200
Speaker 4: Right, It's just I mean, and then you have.

1568
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 2: The undefeated South Carolina team. Member of South Carolina was

1569
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,960
Speaker 2: undefeated last year and they got upset in the final

1570
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 2: four by Iowa and Caitlin Clark. But yeah, I mean,

1571
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:51,720
Speaker 2: it's a phenomenal situation. Whether that actually carries over to

1572
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 2: the w NBA, well, we'll get into that a little

1573
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:57,400
Speaker 2: bit later on, because right now we're trying to focus

1574
01:23:57,439 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 2: in on a little NFL news, and that is the

1575
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:04,760
Speaker 2: whereabouts of quarterbacks. After a tumultuous week in terms of

1576
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,880
Speaker 2: free agency in the NFL, we talked about the Cowboys

1577
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:11,559
Speaker 2: and the Eagles. Their quarterback situations are set as far

1578
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:15,679
Speaker 2: as the Giants and the Commanders are concern question marks.

1579
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:20,679
Speaker 2: Let's start with the Giants. So Daniel Jones as your starter.

1580
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:23,960
Speaker 2: Not only do you have Tommy DeVito, they actually picked.

1581
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 1: Up Drew Lock. I don't know if you saw that right.

1582
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:30,680
Speaker 1: They actually picked up Drew Lock. But here's the X

1583
01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 1: factor in this.

1584
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:34,680
Speaker 2: Because we were talking earlier about whether a Denver or

1585
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 2: Minnesota can move up in the draft. The Giants are

1586
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:42,160
Speaker 2: sitting at number six. I mean, if there was a

1587
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 2: team that is in a right spot to move up

1588
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 2: to three or even two in the draft, it's the.

1589
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:54,320
Speaker 1: Team city at six.

1590
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 4: Yep.

1591
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,680
Speaker 2: So you have to certainly if you're looking at your

1592
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:04,680
Speaker 2: court back situation. You're the Giants in a draft that

1593
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 2: most people agree has not just won, but two three

1594
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:12,760
Speaker 2: quarterbacks maybe more that actually could turn out to be

1595
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 2: so called franchise quarterbacks.

1596
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:16,760
Speaker 4: This is it.

1597
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:20,679
Speaker 2: You may never be in a better position to get

1598
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 2: one of these guys than the Giants are in right now,

1599
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:25,960
Speaker 2: sitting at number six and the draft.

1600
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1601
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:30,080
Speaker 2: I and by the way, you could also, by the way,

1602
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 2: make part of that deal, Daniel Jones.

1603
01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 4: You could well. I mean, I don't know if that

1604
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:37,200
Speaker 4: helps you, I.

1605
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:39,479
Speaker 2: Honestly, I mean, but I mean, maybe maybe there is

1606
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:41,719
Speaker 2: some interest in him. I don't know, but I mean

1607
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:42,720
Speaker 2: the fact is.

1608
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 3: That would be almost to me like a Jared Goff situation,

1609
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:48,360
Speaker 3: where you you would have to pay somebody.

1610
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,240
Speaker 4: You would have to pay somebody to take that cot.

1611
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:52,000
Speaker 2: How did that work for the Lions, I've worked out

1612
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:55,200
Speaker 2: pretty well. But anyway, the Giants at six.

1613
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones and Jack Goff are not the same quarterback.

1614
01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 1: I agree with you. But all right, well, but you're

1615
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 1: still sitting at six.

1616
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 4: Okay, listen at six.

1617
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:08,800
Speaker 3: It's possible that depending on how the draft goes, my

1618
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:11,600
Speaker 3: guess is you're going to see a bunch of quarterbacks

1619
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:13,400
Speaker 3: come off the board real quick.

1620
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:16,840
Speaker 4: You know, one, two, three, it's all going to be quarterbacks.

1621
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:21,400
Speaker 3: If any of the first three picks select outside of

1622
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:24,960
Speaker 3: the quarterback position, I'll be shocked. And that's including if

1623
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 3: a team trades up, I would assume they're trading up

1624
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:30,599
Speaker 3: for a quarterback, and I think that would be a

1625
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:35,519
Speaker 3: good assumption. Now, in terms of the Giants, maybe they

1626
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:38,559
Speaker 3: are taking a very level headed look at this draft

1627
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:41,520
Speaker 3: and saying, hey, if we are going to go quarterback

1628
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:45,679
Speaker 3: and we stay at number six. Should we go ahead

1629
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 3: and wait it out or should you take a look

1630
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 3: at I don't know the Cardinals. The Cardinals are at four,

1631
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 3: so if you could find your quarterback at that fourth

1632
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 3: overall pick, trading up two spots isn't going to cost

1633
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 3: you an arm and a leg. Trading up two spots

1634
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 3: is going to cost you some lower round draft picks,

1635
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 3: but it's not going to cost you a one. So

1636
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:12,559
Speaker 3: that might be something to take away.

1637
01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:15,720
Speaker 2: But I don't see again the way the draft is

1638
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:19,320
Speaker 2: playing out right now, because Arizona seems content on staling,

1639
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:23,840
Speaker 2: staying with Kyler Murray. I mean, Marvin Harrison Junior is

1640
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:29,080
Speaker 2: being hailed as you know, that level of wide receiver.

1641
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:31,840
Speaker 2: I mean you could talk about neighbors maybe out of

1642
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 2: LSU or Donsey out of Washington, who obviously are also

1643
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 2: going to be top ten picks in this draft.

1644
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

1645
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 2: I mean, if they're going to get a quarterback, it

1646
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:43,240
Speaker 2: would seem the top three guys are sort of etched

1647
01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:46,439
Speaker 2: in stone, which brings us to the Commanders. So they

1648
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:50,760
Speaker 2: got Mariota. Now, how many teams is that for? Marcus Mariota.

1649
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:52,600
Speaker 2: Now over the last several years.

1650
01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 4: Well, he's drafted by the Titans.

1651
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, he most recently was with the Falcons. Yes, there

1652
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:01,040
Speaker 3: was a stop somewhere in between. I forget where it was,

1653
01:28:01,680 --> 01:28:03,160
Speaker 3: so at least his fourth team.

1654
01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's there, but he's not the answer. It

1655
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:11,480
Speaker 2: seems that at number two they're gonna take Jaden Daniels,

1656
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:18,680
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams versus Jaden Daniels. So I've been, you know,

1657
01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 2: sort of keeping an ear on breakdown of this draft,

1658
01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 2: and I'm hearing from more and more people that you know,

1659
01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:31,559
Speaker 2: are paid a lot of money to break down, you know,

1660
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:35,120
Speaker 2: the skill set of these guys, that maybe there's a

1661
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:39,520
Speaker 2: lot more to like about Jayden Daniels than on first observation.

1662
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:44,400
Speaker 2: In fact, they are talking about that he actually does

1663
01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:47,479
Speaker 2: a lot of things better, or certainly did a lot

1664
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:50,240
Speaker 2: things better the last year than.

1665
01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams did.

1666
01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and.

1667
01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:58,320
Speaker 2: So the idea that Caleb goes one of the bears

1668
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:00,840
Speaker 2: and all you have to do was Louke what happened

1669
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 2: last year, right with Bryce Young and CJ.

1670
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:05,040
Speaker 1: Stroud.

1671
01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 2: I mean, Carolina had never wavered, They're still not wavering.

1672
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:12,000
Speaker 2: We took the right guy Bryce Young.

1673
01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:16,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but hang on a second, what else can they

1674
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:20,280
Speaker 3: or should they say? Even if he wasn't what value

1675
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:23,920
Speaker 3: does it give your franchise to say, hey, we really

1676
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:27,720
Speaker 3: whiffed on our pick and we are screwed here for

1677
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 3: the next bunch of years.

1678
01:29:28,920 --> 01:29:30,920
Speaker 4: No, of course they're going to say, we got it right,

1679
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 4: We got our guy.

1680
01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:35,000
Speaker 3: We stand by him, can't wait to see what he

1681
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:38,120
Speaker 3: develops with this new coaching staff. As you know, we

1682
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:40,800
Speaker 3: enter a new regime here. No, I mean, of course

1683
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:43,559
Speaker 3: it's going to be glowing marks. The truth is, they missed,

1684
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:46,080
Speaker 3: and I don't know if they've missed for good, but

1685
01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 3: in the first year they missed. Bryce Young didn't look

1686
01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:51,000
Speaker 3: any better at the end this season. Then he looked

1687
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:53,760
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the season, maybe slightly more comfortable

1688
01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:58,360
Speaker 3: in certain circumstances. You know, he looked composed in certain

1689
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:01,120
Speaker 3: some games at least, whereas it looked like he was

1690
01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:04,960
Speaker 3: running with his hair on fire first. But but you know,

1691
01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 3: at least for the first year. Like when you do

1692
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:09,240
Speaker 3: the tail the tape and you look at how rookie

1693
01:30:09,320 --> 01:30:12,040
Speaker 3: quarterbacks perform when they have good years versus bad years,

1694
01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:15,680
Speaker 3: he skews way way harder to that bad side of

1695
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:16,480
Speaker 3: the spectrum.

1696
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:19,720
Speaker 4: Jade and Daniels. Look, here's the deal.

1697
01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:23,840
Speaker 3: If the Commanders take Jade and Daniels, they're getting a

1698
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:26,280
Speaker 3: game changing type of athlete.

1699
01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:27,639
Speaker 4: Like this is the type.

1700
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:30,360
Speaker 3: Of guy who can run, he can throw on the run,

1701
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:34,240
Speaker 3: he can throw from the pocket. But the combination is

1702
01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:37,919
Speaker 3: the dream team. It's the Kyler Murray, it's the Lamar Jackson.

1703
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:41,479
Speaker 3: It's the type of athlete that can devastate you if

1704
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:45,599
Speaker 3: he stays healthy. Now, the Colts they took they took

1705
01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:49,880
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson third overall. That's a big, strong athlete who

1706
01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:52,080
Speaker 3: can move well, and he was injured the.

1707
01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:53,559
Speaker 1: Entire actually fourth overall.

1708
01:30:53,640 --> 01:30:54,360
Speaker 4: Oh was it fourth?

1709
01:30:54,439 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, third quarterback, third quarterback.

1710
01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:01,160
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right, yeah, because the Texans, Yeah, second

1711
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:05,080
Speaker 3: and third, yeah, so third overall quarterback taking fourth overall

1712
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:06,679
Speaker 3: pick and he barely played.

1713
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:08,759
Speaker 4: So Jaden Daniels, look.

1714
01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:12,800
Speaker 3: I agree with you, he has he had had a

1715
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:17,479
Speaker 3: very good combine. This is a guy who was unbelievable

1716
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:20,640
Speaker 3: this season at LSU. If you caught any of the

1717
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 3: Tigers games this season, you saw a quarterback who obviously

1718
01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:27,040
Speaker 3: projects well to the next level. But the question is

1719
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:30,080
Speaker 3: going to be in It always is health and fit

1720
01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:33,840
Speaker 3: in the system. If he can stay healthy, great, But

1721
01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:36,639
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson couldn't, and you saw how that work out

1722
01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:40,759
Speaker 3: for the Colts they started, you know whatever, was twelve

1723
01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:44,920
Speaker 3: games with Gardner Minshew and then fit. If you don't

1724
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:47,160
Speaker 3: fit into the system, it doesn't matter how good the

1725
01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:50,400
Speaker 3: quarterback looks in college. Just look at Bryce Young. It

1726
01:31:50,479 --> 01:31:52,920
Speaker 3: didn't look like a system fit and he struggled his

1727
01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:53,880
Speaker 3: entire rookie year.

1728
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:57,080
Speaker 2: Coming up on the other side, we go to the

1729
01:31:57,280 --> 01:32:01,960
Speaker 2: NFC Nord two teams surprising Lee based on where we

1730
01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:05,480
Speaker 2: were a year ago in a very settled situation at quarterback,

1731
01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:09,400
Speaker 2: and two other teams very much looking for answers. This

1732
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:14,000
Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harman and or At Charnberger

Speaker 2: teams are set. We're breaking it all down today. By

1748
01:32:55,080 --> 01:33:00,160
Speaker 2: the way, congratulations to Ducane. Ducaine is moving on on

1749

Speaker 2: to the big dance. They win the Atlantic ten Championship.

1750
01:33:03,560 --> 01:33:08,719
Speaker 2: By the way, it's their first conference championship win since

1751
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:11,439
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy seven.

1752
01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:16,240
Speaker 1: Now that's going back. Wow, So Ducaine.

1753
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 4: Do you know what.

1754
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:19,160
Speaker 11: Ducaine didn't get for winning the A ten championship?

1755
01:33:19,240 --> 01:33:19,559
Speaker 1: What's that?

1756
01:33:19,920 --> 01:33:23,320
Speaker 11: Confetti or streamers? It all went off at the beginning

1757
01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:27,360
Speaker 11: of the second half. No, yeah, oh my show.

1758
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:29,639
Speaker 1: No is that really? Did that happen?

1759
01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:29,960
Speaker 4: Accident?

1760
01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:31,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's why Monsey's yelling at me right now. I

1761
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:35,599
Speaker 11: ruined a surprise, But yeah, very funny to watch happen.

1762
01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:38,000
Speaker 11: Just streamers falling from the ceiling in the middle of

1763
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 11: a set play for a Where.

1764
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:42,600
Speaker 4: Were they playing? What venue? Do you know?

1765
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:48,080
Speaker 2: Let's see here they played that where Barclay Center in Brooklyn?

1766
01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:50,320
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, yeah.

1767
01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:52,439
Speaker 3: There is somebody at the Barclay Center, who must have

1768
01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:55,320
Speaker 3: had like a late night another event the night.

1769
01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:57,719
Speaker 11: Before and just like gosh, like yeah, hit.

1770
01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:02,439
Speaker 3: That red button and all of a sudden, maybe getting

1771
01:34:02,439 --> 01:34:05,240
Speaker 3: the Saint Patty's Day started a little earlier there.

1772
01:34:05,560 --> 01:34:08,040
Speaker 2: By the way, Auburn putting the final touches and they're

1773
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:11,479
Speaker 2: blowout victory over Florida. Auburn will move on as the

1774
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:17,400
Speaker 2: SEC tournament champion. Two more tournaments to play, the AA

1775
01:34:17,439 --> 01:34:20,960
Speaker 2: seed Championship UAB and Temple just underway, and then the

1776
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:23,679
Speaker 2: final one will be the Big Ten Tournament championship game.

1777
01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:26,479
Speaker 1: Not teams that we expected to be there.

1778
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:30,360
Speaker 2: Illinois in Wisconsin, Wisconsin with the big upset of Purdue.

1779
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:34,320
Speaker 2: By the way, these conference tournaments have little bearing in

1780
01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:38,200
Speaker 2: terms of the seeding in the tournament. I mean, we

1781
01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:40,400
Speaker 2: know you Conn will be the number one overall, but

1782
01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:44,479
Speaker 2: expect despite their losses. Houston got blown out yesterday by

1783
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:49,000
Speaker 2: Iowa State, they'll still be a one seed. Purdue losing Wisconsin,

1784
01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:52,519
Speaker 2: they'll still be a number one seed. North Carolina losing

1785
01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:56,280
Speaker 2: NZI State Tarhees will still be a number one seed.

1786
01:34:56,320 --> 01:34:59,080
Speaker 2: So those are the most likely one seeds. All right,

1787
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 2: we are uh moving our way through the National Football

1788
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:06,000
Speaker 2: League in terms of quarterbacks, a lot of new faces

1789
01:35:06,040 --> 01:35:07,040
Speaker 2: in different cities.

1790
01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:09,080
Speaker 1: So we just wanted to break it down for you.

1791
01:35:09,439 --> 01:35:10,639
Speaker 1: Let's move to Chris.

1792
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:14,120
Speaker 2: We want you to jump in obviously the NFC North

1793
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:17,840
Speaker 2: and when you think about where these two teams were

1794
01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:23,400
Speaker 2: a year ago at quarterback, the idea that these franchises

1795
01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:27,720
Speaker 2: are very much set at quarterback was not predicted. We

1796
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:31,439
Speaker 2: start with the course Chris's Detroit Lions. Jared Goff was

1797
01:35:31,439 --> 01:35:35,280
Speaker 2: brought in like as a necessary evil when they made

1798
01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:36,559
Speaker 2: the trade with Matthew Stafford.

1799
01:35:36,600 --> 01:35:38,120
Speaker 1: They got a couple of ones out of it.

1800
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:41,840
Speaker 2: That's really what they were concentrating on the idea that

1801
01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 2: Jared Goff would be a solution three four years down

1802
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:46,000
Speaker 2: the road.

1803
01:35:46,280 --> 01:35:48,759
Speaker 1: They did not think that, but he's very much entrenched.

1804
01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 9: I think the Lions thought that. I think Brad Holmes

1805
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:51,360
Speaker 9: thought that.

1806
01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:51,840
Speaker 4: I don't think.

1807
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:53,720
Speaker 1: Many they thought that Jared Goff was going to be

1808
01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:54,840
Speaker 1: their long term answer.

1809
01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:58,680
Speaker 9: Considering Brad Holmes's connections with the Rams and that he

1810
01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:00,800
Speaker 9: was the one who kind of argued for him to

1811
01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 9: be drafted in the first place. I do believe that, well,

1812
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:04,840
Speaker 9: I don't think any of us believe that I don't

1813
01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:06,200
Speaker 9: think any of us in the media believe that. I

1814
01:36:06,200 --> 01:36:08,960
Speaker 9: don't think even I believe that at the time. But

1815
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:11,559
Speaker 9: clearly Brad Holmes, the general manager of the Detroit Lions,

1816
01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:13,000
Speaker 9: I believe that he believed that.

1817
01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:15,120
Speaker 1: All right, are you set on hand and Hooker as

1818
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:16,519
Speaker 1: your backup? Yes?

1819
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:18,960
Speaker 9: I don't see why not. He's done everything you want

1820
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:21,280
Speaker 9: to backup to do. He's you know, couldn't play last

1821
01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:22,960
Speaker 9: year and it was going to be treated like a

1822
01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:26,080
Speaker 9: red shirt year just given the ACL injury. Yeah, he's

1823
01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:29,080
Speaker 9: learned everything like a sponge out there. So and I

1824
01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 9: think he's, you know, he's a perfect guy the Lions

1825
01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 9: wanted to draft. He's someone who's a team player and

1826
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:38,439
Speaker 9: he's not, you know, making big giant waves. He's someone

1827
01:36:38,479 --> 01:36:41,040
Speaker 9: you can probably rely on down the road. But I

1828
01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:43,440
Speaker 9: don't know if he's a starter, but he's definitely a backup.

1829
01:36:43,200 --> 01:36:43,519
Speaker 1: All right.

1830
01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:45,880
Speaker 2: And Rich of course, green Bay now with Jordan Love,

1831
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:50,000
Speaker 2: who you know, all kinds of questions coming into the season,

1832
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:52,839
Speaker 2: no questions coming out of the season.

1833
01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:54,920
Speaker 1: This guy was second league in touchdown passes.

1834
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:56,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Jordan.

1835
01:36:56,000 --> 01:37:00,640
Speaker 3: Love is going to help the Green Bay Packers solidify

1836
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:05,240
Speaker 3: their position a quarterback for the third straight time. In

1837
01:37:05,320 --> 01:37:08,679
Speaker 3: terms of a starter walking into a job and appearing

1838
01:37:08,680 --> 01:37:11,960
Speaker 3: to be a franchise guy. Farv to Rogers to love

1839
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:17,240
Speaker 3: how many franchises kids say that they consecutively without missing

1840
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:20,800
Speaker 3: found three quarterbacks who can fit the bill of what what.

1841
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:24,640
Speaker 2: A franchise quarterback should look like. It's very impressive, very impressive.

1842
01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:30,960
Speaker 2: By the way, their backup is Sean Clifford, Right, Yeah,

1843
01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:33,479
Speaker 2: the Penn State, Penn State are rich.

1844
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:34,679
Speaker 4: Yep, yep. Yeah.

1845
01:37:35,800 --> 01:37:40,080
Speaker 3: Sean Clifford played like a guy who can give you

1846
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:45,360
Speaker 3: some depth on an NFL roster. He had some moments,

1847
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:48,599
Speaker 3: but he was buoyed by the team around him. And

1848
01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:52,439
Speaker 3: I'm not throwing shade at him unnecessarily. I hope that

1849
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:55,519
Speaker 3: if given an opportunity, he can really shine and perform

1850
01:37:55,560 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 3: in the league. And we've seen that many times guys

1851
01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:02,040
Speaker 3: who have had long starting cares at a big time

1852
01:38:02,360 --> 01:38:06,080
Speaker 3: football program but weren't the star of their offense, and

1853
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:08,960
Speaker 3: when they get an opportunity at the next level after

1854
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:14,160
Speaker 3: time incubating, you know in the background. Gino Smith probably

1855
01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:16,360
Speaker 3: not a great example because he was a high draft

1856
01:38:16,400 --> 01:38:19,240
Speaker 3: value guy, but there are guys who are lower draft

1857
01:38:19,240 --> 01:38:22,640
Speaker 3: picks who come out and and and perform well for

1858
01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:25,320
Speaker 3: their teams. Tom Brady is the easiest reach for those,

1859
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:27,960
Speaker 3: but there have been many others. You know, back to

1860
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:30,360
Speaker 3: the Detroit Lions for a moment in the in the

1861
01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:36,639
Speaker 3: NFC North. When you think about moments across the division's history,

1862
01:38:36,760 --> 01:38:41,080
Speaker 3: like the Justin Fields draft pick, you know that obviously

1863
01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:44,720
Speaker 3: sets the Bears back a little bit because it hasn't really.

1864
01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:46,240
Speaker 4: Worked out the way they hoped it would.

1865
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:51,559
Speaker 3: You know, you look at Jordan Love that draft that's

1866
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:55,040
Speaker 3: worked out. You look at you look at Jared Goff though,

1867
01:38:55,120 --> 01:38:59,000
Speaker 3: being traded with a first rounder in tandem just to

1868
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:01,439
Speaker 3: take him off off of the Rams hands.

1869
01:39:02,479 --> 01:39:04,879
Speaker 4: The fact that they did that, and I do.

1870
01:39:04,760 --> 01:39:08,120
Speaker 3: Believe that maybe there was some thought that Jared could

1871
01:39:08,120 --> 01:39:09,960
Speaker 3: be a good quarterback for the Lions. I think he

1872
01:39:10,040 --> 01:39:13,920
Speaker 3: overperformed what anybody would have hoped for in Detroit. The

1873
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:17,000
Speaker 3: fact that they did that, though, it sets up the

1874
01:39:17,040 --> 01:39:21,679
Speaker 3: Lions to be the team to beat from now into

1875
01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:25,719
Speaker 3: the future. I mean, who, right now can you say

1876
01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:28,320
Speaker 3: with confidence in that division is better than jard Well.

1877
01:39:28,360 --> 01:39:30,639
Speaker 2: Green Bay's got to upgrade their defense, let's face it.

1878
01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:33,560
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, they're in good shape with Jordan Love offensively.

1879
01:39:33,760 --> 01:39:35,439
Speaker 2: I like some of the moves they've made.

1880
01:39:35,600 --> 01:39:39,439
Speaker 3: But can you say with Love Jordan Love is better

1881
01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:42,160
Speaker 3: than Jared Goff because I can't, not yet, not yet,

1882
01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:43,880
Speaker 3: I could see potentially I.

1883
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:44,920
Speaker 1: Would say that's a wash.

1884
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:47,320
Speaker 2: But if you look at the rest of the roster, no,

1885
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:50,400
Speaker 2: the green Bay well, look, the Lions have been trying

1886
01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:54,439
Speaker 2: to piece their defense together. They made a different step

1887
01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:56,680
Speaker 2: forward in twenty twenty three over where they were in

1888
01:39:56,760 --> 01:40:00,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two defensively, and that's where Green Bay right now.

1889
01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Green Bay is not good defensively.

1890
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:06,400
Speaker 2: It's just not good, all right. So the haves and

1891
01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:09,200
Speaker 2: have nots in that division in terms of quarterback, Detroit

1892
01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:11,519
Speaker 2: with Jered got, green Bay with Jordan loved their set.

1893
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:14,880
Speaker 1: Now you get the Bears and the Vikings. Talk about

1894
01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:15,760
Speaker 1: the Vikings.

1895
01:40:15,439 --> 01:40:20,840
Speaker 2: First, First of all, you have to think that the

1896
01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:24,920
Speaker 2: Vikings were absolutely blindsided by the kirk Cousins signing. It

1897
01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:28,360
Speaker 2: wasn't that we weren't talking about the possibility of kirk

1898
01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:32,200
Speaker 2: Cousins going to Atlanta, but for Atlanta to essentially give

1899
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:36,040
Speaker 2: him a blank check, a thirty six year old quarterback

1900
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:37,520
Speaker 2: coming off of blown achilles.

1901
01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:40,679
Speaker 1: I don't think the Vikings saw that happening.

1902
01:40:41,400 --> 01:40:43,880
Speaker 2: I think the Vikings felt like they were gonna, you know,

1903
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:46,680
Speaker 2: have a good offer on the table for him, so that,

1904
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:49,000
Speaker 2: you know, because they have other guys obviously that they

1905
01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:51,920
Speaker 2: have to sign in the future. I don't think they

1906
01:40:53,200 --> 01:40:59,959
Speaker 2: envisioned Atlanta just backing up the brinks for Kirk Cousins.

1907
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:05,559
Speaker 3: Well, similarly to Jared Goff, what do you get with

1908
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:12,360
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins. You get a top ten or a very

1909
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:15,559
Speaker 3: tippy top of the second tier quarterback in the NFL,

1910
01:41:15,760 --> 01:41:18,400
Speaker 3: do you yeah, I mean, look at all.

1911
01:41:18,640 --> 01:41:21,560
Speaker 1: Let's add all his playoff wins to get.

1912
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:24,759
Speaker 3: Well, Okay, so we enter the same kind of realm

1913
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:29,160
Speaker 3: that we enter when we talk about quarterbacks like Dak Prescott,

1914
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:35,200
Speaker 3: Jared Goff, Kirk Cousins, who they don't appear to be

1915
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:38,880
Speaker 3: championship level quarterbacks. They don't appear to be because they

1916
01:41:38,880 --> 01:41:39,599
Speaker 3: haven't done it.

1917
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:41,960
Speaker 1: He's won one playoff game in.

1918
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:44,160
Speaker 4: His career and Dak's only one. Two.

1919
01:41:44,760 --> 01:41:49,840
Speaker 2: This guy has played longer. I mean, Kirk Cousins has

1920
01:41:49,880 --> 01:41:53,920
Speaker 2: been a starting quarterback in the NFL twelve years. Is

1921
01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:57,040
Speaker 2: that waiting back we're talking He has played twelve years

1922
01:41:57,120 --> 01:42:04,280
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Yep, and he has won one playoff game.

1923
01:42:04,520 --> 01:42:05,680
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.

1924
01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:08,760
Speaker 3: And this is what I'm saying, Like, you know, you

1925
01:42:09,280 --> 01:42:12,080
Speaker 3: look at a player like him and you say, with

1926
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:15,599
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins, we get a chance. This is how people

1927
01:42:15,600 --> 01:42:20,160
Speaker 3: felt about Andy Dalton with the Cincinnati Bengals when you

1928
01:42:20,200 --> 01:42:23,080
Speaker 3: know he was working with Marvin Lewis. This is how

1929
01:42:23,080 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 3: people felt about Philip Rivers when he was with the

1930
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:28,400
Speaker 3: San Diego and then the LA Chargers.

1931
01:42:28,800 --> 01:42:29,439
Speaker 4: This is how.

1932
01:42:29,320 --> 01:42:32,519
Speaker 3: People felt about Dak Prescott throughout his career at Tony

1933
01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:36,120
Speaker 3: Romo before him. This is there are just certain quarterbacks

1934
01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:41,639
Speaker 3: who fall into that land, that in between land, where

1935
01:42:42,080 --> 01:42:44,559
Speaker 3: they're good enough to get you to the postseason. Heck,

1936
01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:47,160
Speaker 3: they maybe even be good enough to get you a

1937
01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:49,439
Speaker 3: win or two in the postseason if things, you know,

1938
01:42:49,520 --> 01:42:52,000
Speaker 3: break right. They have a good enough team surrounding them,

1939
01:42:52,479 --> 01:42:55,400
Speaker 3: but for whatever reason, you just can't really see them

1940
01:42:55,640 --> 01:42:58,400
Speaker 3: crossing the finish line. And like I said, I put

1941
01:42:58,439 --> 01:43:02,280
Speaker 3: Jared Goff in that category, I put Dak Prescott in

1942
01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:06,120
Speaker 3: that category. I put I put obviously Kirk Cousins in

1943
01:43:06,160 --> 01:43:10,479
Speaker 3: that category. But these quarterbacks, they're worth the type of

1944
01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:13,519
Speaker 3: money that Kirk just got paid or that Dak got

1945
01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:17,479
Speaker 3: paid because when you're looking at when you're looking at

1946
01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:21,320
Speaker 3: what's important to a franchise, just getting to the tournament

1947
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:25,439
Speaker 3: is the most important thing because at that point, I mean, shoot,

1948
01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:27,760
Speaker 3: things can shake loose and you could go on to

1949
01:43:27,840 --> 01:43:28,519
Speaker 3: run all the way to.

1950
01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:29,240
Speaker 4: The super Bowl.

1951
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:33,240
Speaker 3: Well look, I mean it's happened to Yacko won a

1952
01:43:33,280 --> 01:43:33,880
Speaker 3: Super Bowl.

1953
01:43:33,920 --> 01:43:36,240
Speaker 1: You know, dil for Scaco Flacco.

1954
01:43:37,360 --> 01:43:41,160
Speaker 2: The Atlanta Falcons are not the Ravens that Flacco played on.

1955
01:43:41,479 --> 01:43:45,080
Speaker 2: I mean the idea that we're also talking about a

1956
01:43:45,080 --> 01:43:47,680
Speaker 2: thirty six year old quarterback coming off of blown achilles,

1957
01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:50,320
Speaker 2: so we don't even know is he going to.

1958
01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:52,560
Speaker 1: Be as good as he was before the injury.

1959
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:55,840
Speaker 3: That's fair, But at the same token, you can make

1960
01:43:55,880 --> 01:44:00,280
Speaker 3: some assumptions. Medical science obviously gets guys back.

1961
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:04,040
Speaker 2: He is a short list of athletes well coming off

1962
01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:07,599
Speaker 2: in achilles that are as good or better than they were.

1963
01:44:07,439 --> 01:44:10,320
Speaker 1: Before the injury. A very short list at.

1964
01:44:10,200 --> 01:44:14,000
Speaker 3: The quarterback position for a guy who's not like going

1965
01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:17,960
Speaker 3: to blow your doors off from his athleticism. He's a

1966
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:21,479
Speaker 3: pocket passer. I don't think I don't think we're weighing

1967
01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:24,280
Speaker 3: and measuring it or balancing that enough in this conversation

1968
01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:27,320
Speaker 3: because Kirk Cousins very easily could come back and be

1969
01:44:27,360 --> 01:44:30,760
Speaker 3: the same exact quarterback he was pre Achilles Terre all.

1970
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:33,839
Speaker 4: Right, because he's just not an explosive athlete.

1971
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:37,160
Speaker 2: On the other side, now, what for the Vikings And

1972
01:44:37,200 --> 01:44:40,680
Speaker 2: by the way, Justin Jefferson is probably saying, yeah, exactly

1973
01:44:41,080 --> 01:44:43,120
Speaker 2: what is your game plan here on who's going to

1974
01:44:43,200 --> 01:44:45,519
Speaker 2: throw me the football? We'll get to that, but first

1975
01:44:45,600 --> 01:44:50,280
Speaker 2: let's find out what is trending right now. And Monci

1976
01:44:50,479 --> 01:44:54,480
Speaker 2: is back. Now that you know that Ducane Ducane.

1977
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:59,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, nobody and think Ducane nobody.

1978
01:44:59,400 --> 01:45:02,599
Speaker 2: Well you look at Duke Casne and you're like dud Kesney,

1979
01:45:02,720 --> 01:45:04,639
Speaker 2: I would say the same thing, Yeah, I ain.

1980
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:07,400
Speaker 1: No, No, that was not like they have a rich

1981
01:45:07,560 --> 01:45:08,879
Speaker 1: history here right.

1982
01:45:08,840 --> 01:45:11,200
Speaker 8: Right right, And it didn't make me think a lot.

1983
01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:14,640
Speaker 7: I see that they're called the Dukes also, and the

1984
01:45:14,760 --> 01:45:16,720
Speaker 7: D looks like Duke University.

1985
01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 1: Like there, it's literally confusing Duke Cain.

1986
01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:23,000
Speaker 7: Right right, but the D looks like Duke like the

1987
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:26,080
Speaker 7: Duke Like if I was Duke, I would be like, hey, yo,

1988
01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:27,360
Speaker 7: can you not look like us?

1989
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:27,840
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1990
01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:29,679
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying, that's uh yeah.

1991
01:45:29,680 --> 01:45:33,479
Speaker 7: Well, Duke Cain has punched their ticket to the dance

1992
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:34,680
Speaker 7: for the first time in.

1993
01:45:34,720 --> 01:45:36,040
Speaker 8: Forty seven years.

1994
01:45:36,120 --> 01:45:38,800
Speaker 7: They ended up outscoring VCU in the Atlantic ten final

1995
01:45:38,840 --> 01:45:41,880
Speaker 7: fifty seven to fifty one. And you did hear from

1996
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:46,080
Speaker 7: Bo that there was no confetti, There was no celebration,

1997
01:45:46,160 --> 01:45:49,280
Speaker 7: because this is what happened with eighteen minutes left in

1998
01:45:49,320 --> 01:45:49,639
Speaker 7: the game.

1999
01:45:49,920 --> 01:45:52,760
Speaker 2: My goodness, Oh my gosh, they've got confetti falling on No,

2000
01:45:53,479 --> 01:45:54,920
Speaker 2: confetti's falling on the floor.

2001
01:45:54,960 --> 01:45:56,200
Speaker 4: They're gonna have to stop playing.

2002
01:45:57,160 --> 01:46:00,280
Speaker 3: Re can'tso noes, the players can't work on this to

2003
01:46:00,479 --> 01:46:01,599
Speaker 3: come three years.

2004
01:46:06,320 --> 01:46:07,320
Speaker 1: The wrong button.

2005
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:09,759
Speaker 8: Kevin Harlan is the goat.

2006
01:46:09,800 --> 01:46:10,479
Speaker 1: I love him.

2007
01:46:10,520 --> 01:46:12,320
Speaker 2: I love Kevin. He's so great by the way. He's

2008
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:13,759
Speaker 2: obsessed with the in and out burger.

2009
01:46:14,040 --> 01:46:14,840
Speaker 1: Is he rich?

2010
01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:17,080
Speaker 2: And I interviewed him many times over the years and

2011
01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:20,040
Speaker 2: like he always wants the gum to SoCal to get

2012
01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:22,479
Speaker 2: itself immediately in and out burgers.

2013
01:46:22,479 --> 01:46:25,400
Speaker 1: But who is that guy that now is out of

2014
01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:25,800
Speaker 1: a job?

2015
01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:29,960
Speaker 3: I mean, oh yeah, forget about it. Yeah, you hit

2016
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:31,080
Speaker 3: the confetti button.

2017
01:46:32,720 --> 01:46:35,040
Speaker 1: Money they spin on that competiti.

2018
01:46:35,360 --> 01:46:36,920
Speaker 7: I was saying to Ball, I was like this, this

2019
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:39,720
Speaker 7: button can't be like easily accessible. There should be like

2020
01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:42,400
Speaker 7: a cover over it does somebody just lean against the

2021
01:46:42,400 --> 01:46:43,320
Speaker 7: wall and hit the button.

2022
01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:45,479
Speaker 11: There should be a coat. You should have to turn

2023
01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:48,400
Speaker 11: two keys at the same time and get the official

2024
01:46:48,439 --> 01:46:51,120
Speaker 11: word from the president to flip up like a plastic cover.

2025
01:46:51,920 --> 01:46:55,439
Speaker 8: Something like what oh no, that was ABSTV. By the way,

2026
01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:57,599
Speaker 8: on that call with Kevin Harlan, No so funny.

2027
01:46:57,720 --> 01:47:01,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, eighteen minutes left still and that's what happens. H

2028
01:47:01,320 --> 01:47:05,000
Speaker 7: So I don't think Dukuane cares though, because they're moving on.

2029
01:47:05,200 --> 01:47:07,559
Speaker 7: Yale punched their ticket to the dance with a buzzer

2030
01:47:07,560 --> 01:47:10,200
Speaker 7: beater in the IVY League Final, taking down Brown sixty

2031
01:47:10,240 --> 01:47:11,519
Speaker 7: two to sixty one.

2032
01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:13,960
Speaker 8: In the SEC Final, Auburn.

2033
01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:17,120
Speaker 7: Punched their ticket easily beating Florida eighty six to sixty seven.

2034
01:47:17,360 --> 01:47:20,040
Speaker 7: The final one today, the Big Ten Final just got

2035
01:47:20,040 --> 01:47:22,360
Speaker 7: going between Wisconsin and Illinois.

2036
01:47:22,520 --> 01:47:23,439
Speaker 8: In the NBA, the.

2037
01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:25,880
Speaker 7: Bucks did beat the Suns one forty to one twenty nine.

2038
01:47:25,880 --> 01:47:28,559
Speaker 7: They played without Janna Sante to Coompo. Damian Lillard led

2039
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:30,479
Speaker 7: the way thirty one points, sixteen assists.

2040
01:47:30,720 --> 01:47:32,680
Speaker 8: Everybody played for the Suns. I had a double check.

2041
01:47:32,760 --> 01:47:34,880
Speaker 7: I was like, did Kevin Durant play, Devin Booker play

2042
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:36,080
Speaker 7: Raley Bealpe play.

2043
01:47:36,160 --> 01:47:36,720
Speaker 8: They all did.

2044
01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:39,559
Speaker 7: Kevin Durant ended with just eleven points, shooting four of

2045
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:40,280
Speaker 7: ten from the field.

2046
01:47:40,360 --> 01:47:42,000
Speaker 8: He ended with nine rebounds as well.

2047
01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:44,200
Speaker 7: The Pistons have the early lead over the heat, twenty

2048
01:47:44,240 --> 01:47:44,880
Speaker 7: three to twenty one.

2049
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:45,880
Speaker 8: After the first quarter.

2050
01:47:46,080 --> 01:47:48,719
Speaker 7: In the NFL, the Browns agreed to terms with quarterback

2051
01:47:48,920 --> 01:47:52,080
Speaker 7: Tyler Huntley, formerly of the Ravens. This was in Cleveland

2052
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:53,880
Speaker 7: dot Com. And then we go to golf for the

2053
01:47:53,880 --> 01:47:58,799
Speaker 7: Players Championship. Xander Shoftley back in the lead, one stroke

2054
01:47:58,920 --> 01:48:03,200
Speaker 7: lead over Scotty Scheffler, Brian Harmon and Wyndham Clark. So

2055
01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:07,639
Speaker 7: Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark, Brian Harmon seventeen under par overall,

2056
01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:10,639
Speaker 7: Xanderschofflee eighteen under par overall.

2057
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:13,320
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, did you see that Wyndham Clark

2058
01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:15,400
Speaker 2: sand wedge on seventeen yesterday?

2059
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:16,160
Speaker 8: I did not.

2060
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:18,720
Speaker 2: So he goes, you know, to the island hole that

2061
01:48:18,800 --> 01:48:21,200
Speaker 2: part three right, and he pulls out a sand wedge

2062
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:22,800
Speaker 2: and he sets up on the left side of the

2063
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:26,000
Speaker 2: tea box and you could just hear it like he

2064
01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:32,360
Speaker 2: chunked it. This thing landed twenty five yards short of

2065
01:48:32,520 --> 01:48:35,000
Speaker 2: the island now I give him credit. He had to

2066
01:48:35,120 --> 01:48:38,240
Speaker 2: hit a long bogie putt to the at least salvage bogie.

2067
01:48:38,240 --> 01:48:40,800
Speaker 2: But it's it's rare when you see, you know, a

2068
01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:43,320
Speaker 2: US Open champion here in Los Angeles lash year, he

2069
01:48:43,360 --> 01:48:45,320
Speaker 2: was leading the tournament and then he just.

2070
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:48,880
Speaker 1: He pulled one of ours. He just chunked it right

2071
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:49,800
Speaker 1: into the drink.

2072
01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:50,559
Speaker 4: One of ours.

2087
01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:41,559
Speaker 2: All right, back to the NFL and quarterbacks, and we're

2088
01:49:41,600 --> 01:49:47,400
Speaker 2: talking about the Vikings right now. So currently, post Kirk Cousins,

2089
01:49:47,920 --> 01:49:50,280
Speaker 2: you got three quarterbacks in your room right now, they

2090
01:49:50,320 --> 01:49:53,599
Speaker 2: pick up Sam Darnold, you still have Nick Mullins, and

2091
01:49:53,680 --> 01:49:56,440
Speaker 2: you have Jared Hall.

2092
01:49:56,560 --> 01:49:57,880
Speaker 1: Those are your quarterbacks.

2093
01:49:58,680 --> 01:50:01,640
Speaker 2: And you have the eleventh overall pick in the draft,

2094
01:50:02,880 --> 01:50:06,200
Speaker 2: and you have I still believe, the most talented wide

2095
01:50:06,240 --> 01:50:10,080
Speaker 2: receiver in the National Football League and Justin Jefferson. Of course,

2096
01:50:10,760 --> 01:50:12,960
Speaker 2: Okay Rich come up with an answer here for the

2097
01:50:13,040 --> 01:50:14,160
Speaker 2: Vikings at quarterback.

2098
01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:18,200
Speaker 3: Well, the Vikings are staring down a very similar situation

2099
01:50:18,360 --> 01:50:21,519
Speaker 3: to the Denver Broncos, which is they got a lot

2100
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:24,320
Speaker 3: of things that they need to fix, but the most

2101
01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:27,720
Speaker 3: important thing is a quarterback. And they're picking outside of

2102
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:31,800
Speaker 3: the top ten. And if you're going to be competitive

2103
01:50:31,840 --> 01:50:35,280
Speaker 3: this season or potentially into the future, you know you

2104
01:50:35,400 --> 01:50:39,799
Speaker 3: need a quarterback. And so, with limited options in terms

2105
01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:42,920
Speaker 3: of any sort of trade with Justin Fields off the

2106
01:50:42,960 --> 01:50:44,680
Speaker 3: market now and I don't think they would have the

2107
01:50:44,720 --> 01:50:47,280
Speaker 3: Bears would have traded in division anyways, a lot of

2108
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:49,840
Speaker 3: people thought that there was an outside shot Fields could

2109
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:53,160
Speaker 3: be traded to the Vikings. I was like, really, what

2110
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:56,120
Speaker 3: general manager in his right mind would want to trade

2111
01:50:56,120 --> 01:50:58,360
Speaker 3: a player away to a team that he would face

2112
01:50:58,439 --> 01:50:59,439
Speaker 3: twice every season.

2113
01:50:59,560 --> 01:51:02,000
Speaker 4: It seemed ridiculous. It was ridiculous.

2114
01:51:02,240 --> 01:51:06,599
Speaker 3: So with their options being this limited, either they punt

2115
01:51:07,240 --> 01:51:11,800
Speaker 3: on this season and they allow Sam Donald to potentially

2116
01:51:12,120 --> 01:51:16,000
Speaker 3: play out this hand. I guess on a one year

2117
01:51:16,080 --> 01:51:18,000
Speaker 3: deal and just see how it goes.

2118
01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:21,719
Speaker 2: No. I mean here's the thing for those that still

2119
01:51:22,400 --> 01:51:25,519
Speaker 2: are in the corner, Sam Donald, you start your career

2120
01:51:25,520 --> 01:51:28,479
Speaker 2: with the Jets. Enough set, right, I mean the Jets

2121
01:51:28,479 --> 01:51:32,160
Speaker 2: are always a mess. Then he goes to Carolina actually

2122
01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:35,920
Speaker 2: was playing decently and then he got hurt u and

2123
01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:39,040
Speaker 2: now he just spent some time with the forty nine ers, right, so,

2124
01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:42,160
Speaker 2: which you know, maybe that cleared his head a little bit.

2125
01:51:42,160 --> 01:51:45,479
Speaker 2: At least he's watching a good team, right Yeah, even

2126
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:49,240
Speaker 2: if he's on the sideline, at least he's observing what

2127
01:51:49,360 --> 01:51:51,519
Speaker 2: a successful team is.

2128
01:51:51,760 --> 01:51:54,839
Speaker 3: And by the way, it goes to an offense who's

2129
01:51:55,360 --> 01:51:57,000
Speaker 3: going to run things similarly.

2130
01:51:57,320 --> 01:51:58,439
Speaker 4: You know, Kyle Shanahan.

2131
01:51:58,479 --> 01:52:01,320
Speaker 3: Obviously he's gonna have more nuance, is different things than

2132
01:52:01,720 --> 01:52:04,880
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell. But they they came off of the same

2133
01:52:04,960 --> 01:52:08,040
Speaker 3: coaching tree, so very highly possible.

2134
01:52:08,120 --> 01:52:10,519
Speaker 1: And he's never thrown to Justin Jefferson before.

2135
01:52:10,600 --> 01:52:13,000
Speaker 3: Well, No, he's never had a receiver like that. He's

2136
01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:14,800
Speaker 3: had good receivers around him.

2137
01:52:14,800 --> 01:52:15,080
Speaker 4: Though.

2138
01:52:15,520 --> 01:52:18,160
Speaker 2: Look here's I'm willing to roll the dice. I don't

2139
01:52:18,160 --> 01:52:20,519
Speaker 2: know why I'm saying this, but I'm I'm willing. If

2140
01:52:20,560 --> 01:52:24,320
Speaker 2: I'm the Vikings right now, I'm not doing some kakamamie

2141
01:52:24,400 --> 01:52:26,599
Speaker 2: tray to give up future number ones to move up

2142
01:52:26,640 --> 01:52:29,599
Speaker 2: in the draft to get what JJ McCarthy, I don't

2143
01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:33,040
Speaker 2: think so. Uh, I'm going to stampat you know, maybe

2144
01:52:33,160 --> 01:52:35,519
Speaker 2: look for a little help for a Sam Donald.

2145
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:37,439
Speaker 1: But I'm willing to roll the dice.

2146
01:52:37,479 --> 01:52:40,280
Speaker 4: Oh wait a se JJ McCarthy.

2147
01:52:40,280 --> 01:52:42,639
Speaker 3: I mean, if you trade up in the draft, you're

2148
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:44,240
Speaker 3: you're not looking at JJ McCarthy.

2149
01:52:44,240 --> 01:52:46,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think the top three guys are available.

2150
01:52:46,840 --> 01:52:50,599
Speaker 2: I don't see New England or Washington or Chicago trading

2151
01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:51,719
Speaker 2: out of those top three picks.

2152
01:52:51,800 --> 01:52:54,880
Speaker 3: Well, assuming they're not, then you're right, I think, uh,

2153
01:52:55,200 --> 01:52:58,960
Speaker 3: I think your your best chance is to stick it

2154
01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:03,360
Speaker 3: out with Sam Donald. However, I think that it would

2155
01:53:03,360 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 3: be going maybe a bridge too far to just assume

2156
01:53:06,560 --> 01:53:10,080
Speaker 3: that the commanders are one hundred percent going to pick

2157
01:53:10,160 --> 01:53:13,559
Speaker 3: Jaden Daniel and not entertain a trade and same with

2158
01:53:13,600 --> 01:53:16,639
Speaker 3: the Patriots. I think it's I wouldn't say I wouldn't

2159
01:53:16,680 --> 01:53:19,880
Speaker 3: put the likelihood at one hundred percent, but I would

2160
01:53:19,920 --> 01:53:22,760
Speaker 3: say they're They're not skipping that phone call from Minnesota.

2161
01:53:22,840 --> 01:53:24,200
Speaker 4: They're not skipping those Both of.

2162
01:53:24,120 --> 01:53:27,719
Speaker 2: Those teams have unloaded their quarterbacks. I mean Sam Hall gone,

2163
01:53:28,040 --> 01:53:31,439
Speaker 2: obviously Mac Jones gone, but both they cleared the spot

2164
01:53:31,560 --> 01:53:33,640
Speaker 2: for them because they're sitting there at the top of

2165
01:53:33,640 --> 01:53:36,080
Speaker 2: the draft of an opportunity to take what they hope

2166
01:53:36,120 --> 01:53:37,559
Speaker 2: is going to be a franchise quarterback.

2167
01:53:37,720 --> 01:53:42,639
Speaker 3: Gerrod Mayo, though, is with or excuse me, Jacoby Brissette

2168
01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:47,560
Speaker 3: signed by Girod Mayo. They have a prior relationship. Jacoby

2169
01:53:47,600 --> 01:53:51,280
Speaker 3: Prissette has played good football throughout the course of it.

2170
01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:54,519
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're gonna say Sam Donold you trust him, well, no, I.

2171
01:53:54,479 --> 01:53:56,920
Speaker 1: Will say this about Jacoby Brissette. I agree with you.

2172
01:53:56,960 --> 01:53:59,240
Speaker 2: We even talked about this last week that Brissette could

2173
01:53:59,280 --> 01:54:02,040
Speaker 2: be you know, he's played pretty well, but I mean

2174
01:54:02,720 --> 01:54:07,040
Speaker 2: he's holding a spot until you know, assumingly Drake may

2175
01:54:07,120 --> 01:54:09,200
Speaker 2: is ready to take over. Well, I don't think it's

2176
01:54:09,200 --> 01:54:12,479
Speaker 2: a bad situation have a veteran like Brissette in place

2177
01:54:12,479 --> 01:54:14,960
Speaker 2: for a year even and let Drake May sit.

2178
01:54:15,320 --> 01:54:16,400
Speaker 4: And that's kind of my point.

2179
01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:19,479
Speaker 3: So if if you want to skip this year's draft

2180
01:54:19,600 --> 01:54:22,719
Speaker 3: and wait till next year's draft to address your quarterback position,

2181
01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:23,200
Speaker 3: I don't.

2182
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:27,320
Speaker 2: See any quarterbacks in next year's draft, well, this year's

2183
01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:27,599
Speaker 2: you don't.

2184
01:54:28,160 --> 01:54:29,280
Speaker 4: You don't see him right now.

2185
01:54:29,479 --> 01:54:31,599
Speaker 11: I was going to say, like, I know, we say

2186
01:54:31,600 --> 01:54:33,480
Speaker 11: it every year that you can just get a quarterback

2187
01:54:33,480 --> 01:54:37,240
Speaker 11: next year, But looking at next year's list, I think.

2188
01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no Drake May's Jayden Daniels.

2189
01:54:40,200 --> 01:54:42,680
Speaker 11: Your Your top prospect next year is su Sanders and

2190
01:54:42,680 --> 01:54:44,720
Speaker 11: I'm not touching that one with a queen yours.

2191
01:54:44,920 --> 01:54:45,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2192
01:54:45,680 --> 01:54:48,800
Speaker 2: By the way, just to wrap up this, Caleb Williams

2193
01:54:48,880 --> 01:54:52,000
Speaker 2: yeay or nay? Are we believing that Caleb Williams is

2194
01:54:52,040 --> 01:54:54,680
Speaker 2: going to be better than hyped, as good as hyped

2195
01:54:55,840 --> 01:54:56,560
Speaker 2: or not as good.

2196
01:54:56,960 --> 01:54:59,120
Speaker 4: Well, it's impossible to be because he is.

2197
01:54:59,080 --> 01:55:01,640
Speaker 1: Going to a great yar at quarterbacks known as the

2198
01:55:01,720 --> 01:55:02,440
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears.

2199
01:55:02,560 --> 01:55:05,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's impossible to be as good as your hype

2200
01:55:06,040 --> 01:55:09,880
Speaker 3: to be when you are literally being deemed the camp

2201
01:55:09,960 --> 01:55:13,200
Speaker 3: mispick like, like, I mean, look, there are so few

2202
01:55:13,280 --> 01:55:16,480
Speaker 3: players in the history of any sport who have been

2203
01:55:17,280 --> 01:55:21,880
Speaker 3: coronated before they reach the professional level and have been

2204
01:55:21,920 --> 01:55:25,600
Speaker 3: able to, you know, replicate the success at in college.

2205
01:55:25,640 --> 01:55:28,720
Speaker 4: It's so rare. So the the knee jerk reaction is

2206
01:55:28,760 --> 01:55:30,560
Speaker 4: there's no way he's going to be able to play

2207
01:55:30,640 --> 01:55:31,480
Speaker 4: up to those expecting.

2208
01:55:31,520 --> 01:55:33,400
Speaker 2: Of course, of he's not ready. Brett Rippon is. He

2209
01:55:33,480 --> 01:55:35,000
Speaker 2: was picked up by the Bears, all right. On the

2210
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:36,840
Speaker 2: other side, we're going to go to a division in

2211
01:55:36,880 --> 01:55:41,040
Speaker 2: the NFC where the quarterbacks are set.

2212
01:55:41,560 --> 01:55:46,320
Speaker 1: But are they We'll explain. This is Fox Sports Sunday.

2213
01:55:46,480 --> 01:55:51,320
Speaker 2: Steve Arbin and Rich Harberger here on this Saint Patti's Day.

2214
01:55:51,440 --> 01:55:53,240
Speaker 2: Hope you having a great day out there. This is

2215
01:55:53,280 --> 01:55:59,680
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday. Yes, no know how to have a

2216
01:55:59,680 --> 01:56:02,200
Speaker 2: good time. Know how to have a good time. That's

2217
01:56:02,240 --> 01:56:04,680
Speaker 2: what it's all about. I hope you are enjoying it

2218
01:56:04,720 --> 01:56:08,280
Speaker 2: out there. We are taking a look here as we

2219
01:56:08,320 --> 01:56:11,400
Speaker 2: get ready course for a busy afternoon once the field

2220
01:56:11,440 --> 01:56:15,800
Speaker 2: is set for this year's NCAA Men's basketball tournament. Talking

2221
01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:19,160
Speaker 2: to NFL and talking about the quarterback situations after a

2222
01:56:19,240 --> 01:56:22,520
Speaker 2: very busy week of free agency. There's a reason, Rich

2223
01:56:22,760 --> 01:56:28,080
Speaker 2: why the NFC South is currently the weakest division in

2224
01:56:28,120 --> 01:56:32,000
Speaker 2: the NFL, and quarterback is a prime example. When you

2225
01:56:32,040 --> 01:56:34,800
Speaker 2: look at the four teams Atlanta, Carolina, New Orleans, and

2226
01:56:34,840 --> 01:56:40,440
Speaker 2: Tampa they're all set at quarterback. Atlanta's got Kirk Cousins YEP,

2227
01:56:40,600 --> 01:56:45,520
Speaker 2: backed up by Taylor Heineke. Carolina's got Bryce Young backed

2228
01:56:45,560 --> 01:56:49,240
Speaker 2: up by Andy Dalton. New Orleans has Derek Carr backed

2229
01:56:49,280 --> 01:56:51,000
Speaker 2: up by your favorite Nathan Peterman.

2230
01:56:51,320 --> 01:56:53,040
Speaker 1: That's right, And Tampa Bay.

2231
01:56:52,880 --> 01:56:56,320
Speaker 2: Has got Baker Mayfield backed up by Kyle Trash. Now,

2232
01:56:56,320 --> 01:56:59,560
Speaker 2: when you look at these quarterbacks we mentioned, Kirk Cousins

2233
01:56:59,640 --> 01:57:02,600
Speaker 2: is one a total of one playoff game, which is

2234
01:57:02,680 --> 01:57:06,480
Speaker 2: one less than Baker Mayfield, who has two. Derek Carr

2235
01:57:06,480 --> 01:57:10,280
Speaker 2: has zero, and weill Bryce Young doesn't have many wins period.

2236
01:57:12,360 --> 01:57:15,960
Speaker 2: Would you consider any of those teams, even though they

2237
01:57:15,960 --> 01:57:20,160
Speaker 2: are set, there's no competition for their number one quarterback spot,

2238
01:57:20,840 --> 01:57:24,520
Speaker 2: any of those teams really feeling good about their quarterback

2239
01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:25,839
Speaker 2: situation moving forward?

2240
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:27,840
Speaker 4: Who?

2241
01:57:28,960 --> 01:57:33,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Baker Mayfield, I would say the Atlanta Falcons as well.

2242
01:57:33,880 --> 01:57:38,440
Speaker 3: So Tampa Bay and Atlanta both feel secure. But again,

2243
01:57:38,480 --> 01:57:41,120
Speaker 3: it's one thing to feel secure in the offseason. It's

2244
01:57:41,200 --> 01:57:44,120
Speaker 3: very different when the bullets get flying for real come

2245
01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:48,960
Speaker 3: the regular season, and I say that full well knowing

2246
01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:53,440
Speaker 3: how good Baker looked in Tampa Bay last year. Baker,

2247
01:57:53,520 --> 01:57:57,280
Speaker 3: when he's playing with a chip on his shoulder, plays

2248
01:57:57,320 --> 01:57:59,840
Speaker 3: like one of the better quarterbacks in the league. And

2249
01:58:00,080 --> 01:58:04,560
Speaker 3: one hundred percent Baker deserves to be considered one of

2250
01:58:04,600 --> 01:58:08,480
Speaker 3: the top ten quarterbacks of twenty twenty three. Now that's

2251
01:58:08,480 --> 01:58:10,480
Speaker 3: saying a lot, but if you go back and look

2252
01:58:10,520 --> 01:58:13,520
Speaker 3: at his film and you watch those games, you'll be

2253
01:58:13,680 --> 01:58:16,640
Speaker 3: just as impressed as I was. Because Baker Mayfield played

2254
01:58:17,120 --> 01:58:19,720
Speaker 3: lights out football all year long last year for the

2255
01:58:19,760 --> 01:58:23,480
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he's earned this contract averaging what

2256
01:58:23,720 --> 01:58:28,680
Speaker 3: like thirty plus million dollars a year. So Baker, I

2257
01:58:28,720 --> 01:58:32,200
Speaker 3: think makes Tampa Bay whole. But you're counting on a

2258
01:58:32,240 --> 01:58:35,920
Speaker 3: guy who's been inconsistent year to year throughout his career

2259
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:39,720
Speaker 3: and has been often injured. Kirk Cousins rolling off the

2260
01:58:39,760 --> 01:58:43,840
Speaker 3: achilles tear, that's an issue. But if Kirk Cousins play

2261
01:58:44,080 --> 01:58:47,000
Speaker 3: plays like Kirk Cousins did over the past two seasons

2262
01:58:47,080 --> 01:58:51,080
Speaker 3: parts of two seasons with Kevin O'Connell in Minnesota, that

2263
01:58:51,160 --> 01:58:54,360
Speaker 3: guy is on an upward trajectory. At thirty eight, he

2264
01:58:54,480 --> 01:58:56,880
Speaker 3: still has some good years left. So those two teams

2265
01:58:56,880 --> 01:58:59,760
Speaker 3: I think are fairly certain they've got their situation set

2266
01:58:59,800 --> 01:59:04,240
Speaker 3: at quarterback. But in terms of the Saints in Carolina,

2267
01:59:04,880 --> 01:59:06,040
Speaker 3: serious question marks.

2268
01:59:07,960 --> 01:59:11,880
Speaker 2: Again, if you're Atlanta and you spent all that money

2269
01:59:11,920 --> 01:59:15,240
Speaker 2: on Kirk Cousins and it is a staggering amount of

2270
01:59:15,280 --> 01:59:22,320
Speaker 2: money and you can't win that division, you got a problem.

2271
01:59:22,480 --> 01:59:25,520
Speaker 2: I mean, what you are banking on is that in

2272
01:59:25,720 --> 01:59:29,200
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins you have now gotten by far the best

2273
01:59:29,280 --> 01:59:33,200
Speaker 2: quarterback in this division, much better than Baker Mayfield, Bryce Younger,

2274
01:59:33,240 --> 01:59:36,760
Speaker 2: Derek Carr. That's what you're paying for now. He was

2275
01:59:36,840 --> 01:59:41,560
Speaker 2: playing lights out in terms of his passing efficiency. You

2276
01:59:41,600 --> 01:59:44,240
Speaker 2: know these stats, and I'm a stack guy and I'm

2277
01:59:44,280 --> 01:59:46,440
Speaker 2: be the first to tell you stats canna be deceiving.

2278
01:59:46,760 --> 01:59:49,839
Speaker 2: So even though he had great stats before the injury,

2279
01:59:50,400 --> 01:59:53,840
Speaker 2: the Vikings were formed for at that time they were

2280
01:59:53,880 --> 01:59:57,760
Speaker 2: five hundred team and they had a miracle run to

2281
01:59:57,800 --> 02:00:00,240
Speaker 2: that thirteen and four record the year before. He's a

2282
02:00:00,240 --> 02:00:02,600
Speaker 2: five hundred quarterback, which, by the way, in this division,

2283
02:00:02,600 --> 02:00:05,720
Speaker 2: should be enough to win the division. But I mean

2284
02:00:05,800 --> 02:00:10,440
Speaker 2: that being said, I look at I mean Baker Mayfield.

2285
02:00:10,480 --> 02:00:12,680
Speaker 2: Can we really trust he's gonna build what he I mean,

2286
02:00:12,680 --> 02:00:15,600
Speaker 2: he's been up and down his whole career, and honestly,

2287
02:00:15,640 --> 02:00:17,880
Speaker 2: so is Kirk Cousins. All Right, we got one more

2288
02:00:17,920 --> 02:00:20,520
Speaker 2: division to get to in the NFL. Plus we'll get

2289
02:00:20,600 --> 02:00:23,560
Speaker 2: you ready for the big selection Sunday for the NCAA

2290
02:00:23,640 --> 02:00:24,640

2303
02:01:00,480 --> 02:01:02,800
Speaker 2: busy today. We've been I think doing a pretty good

2304
02:01:02,880 --> 02:01:04,920
Speaker 2: job here Rich Sir, breaking it down with all the

2305
02:01:05,040 --> 02:01:09,040
Speaker 2: quarterbacks moving around the NFL. At the end of this

2306
02:01:09,200 --> 02:01:12,200
Speaker 2: we'll actually have a few more names floating out there,

2307
02:01:12,880 --> 02:01:16,400
Speaker 2: and whether or not there's any interest in their services.

2308
02:01:16,760 --> 02:01:19,520
Speaker 2: So let's get right to this with our final division,

2309
02:01:19,600 --> 02:01:22,720
Speaker 2: that being the NFC West. And I say this about

2310
02:01:22,760 --> 02:01:27,520
Speaker 2: the NFC West, three guys added in to the quarterback

2311
02:01:27,600 --> 02:01:30,840
Speaker 2: room's very interesting pickups. All right, the forty nine ers

2312
02:01:30,840 --> 02:01:33,160
Speaker 2: have said obviously with brock perty by the way, Brandon

2313
02:01:33,200 --> 02:01:39,960
Speaker 2: Allen is their backup, right the Rams. Little pause here

2314
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:46,240
Speaker 2: on the Rams Aaron Donald's retirement, which doesn't really come

2315
02:01:46,280 --> 02:01:49,360
Speaker 2: as a shock when he got the extension after the

2316
02:01:49,400 --> 02:01:53,240
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, where he already was hinting about retirement. All

2317
02:01:53,320 --> 02:01:56,840
Speaker 2: that guaranteed money has already been paid out. So the

2318
02:01:56,880 --> 02:01:59,200
Speaker 2: only thing he was really walking away from in the

2319
02:01:59,240 --> 02:02:02,400
Speaker 2: third year that CORA was thirty million dollars his salary.

2320
02:02:03,600 --> 02:02:05,880
Speaker 2: But when and I was listening to our friend LeVar

2321
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:10,160
Speaker 2: Arrington trying to put his Aaron Donald's current perspective, understand this.

2322
02:02:11,880 --> 02:02:13,680
Speaker 2: There are only two players in the history of the

2323
02:02:13,840 --> 02:02:16,640
Speaker 2: NFL who have made the Pro Bowl every single year

2324
02:02:16,680 --> 02:02:17,240
Speaker 2: of their career.

2325
02:02:18,200 --> 02:02:20,879
Speaker 1: One of them is Barry Sanders. The other is Aaron Donald.

2326
02:02:21,880 --> 02:02:28,440
Speaker 2: Ten for TENEP, eight time First Team All Pro, three

2327
02:02:28,520 --> 02:02:31,600
Speaker 2: time Defensive Player of the Year. He was also the

2328
02:02:31,640 --> 02:02:34,640
Speaker 2: Defensive Rookie of the Year and a Super Bowl champion.

2329
02:02:35,480 --> 02:02:38,000
Speaker 2: Here's how I put it in perspective with Aaron Donald.

2330
02:02:38,520 --> 02:02:44,960
Speaker 2: Aaron Donald is the most dominant interior defensive lineman in

2331
02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:45,920
Speaker 2: the history of the NFL.

2332
02:02:46,160 --> 02:02:46,600
Speaker 4: Correct.

2333
02:02:47,560 --> 02:02:49,960
Speaker 2: I mean, there's Bob Lilly and Alan Page. You want

2334
02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:53,920
Speaker 2: to go old school Merlin, Olsen, Joe Green. I mean,

2335
02:02:54,440 --> 02:02:57,040
Speaker 2: as far as defensive line is concerned, With all due

2336
02:02:57,080 --> 02:02:59,920
Speaker 2: respect to a Bruce Smith, the only defensive lineman that

2337
02:03:00,080 --> 02:03:03,000
Speaker 2: I can rate on par or better than Aaron Donald.

2338
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:05,240
Speaker 1: Is Reggie White. That's it.

2339
02:03:06,200 --> 02:03:10,080
Speaker 2: So so I mean, and you know, and again, obviously Lt.

2340
02:03:10,200 --> 02:03:14,080
Speaker 2: Lawrence Taylor was technically an outside linebacker. Now we would

2341
02:03:14,120 --> 02:03:17,520
Speaker 2: call him an edge guy. But when we talk about

2342
02:03:17,840 --> 02:03:24,040
Speaker 2: interior defensive lineman, there's really no one else in the conversation.

2343
02:03:24,600 --> 02:03:27,680
Speaker 2: There's Aaron Donald and everyone else.

2344
02:03:28,800 --> 02:03:29,160
Speaker 1: Period.

2345
02:03:29,400 --> 02:03:32,320
Speaker 3: I don't disagree with you. I told this story yesterday morning.

2346
02:03:32,400 --> 02:03:36,480
Speaker 3: I'll rehash it briefly here. In terms of defensive lineman

2347
02:03:36,680 --> 02:03:41,680
Speaker 3: during my career, there was nobody on film outside of

2348
02:03:41,880 --> 02:03:45,960
Speaker 3: maybe earlier in his career, JJ Watt, who you spent

2349
02:03:46,080 --> 02:03:49,640
Speaker 3: more time worrying about how to handle him. He just

2350
02:03:49,840 --> 02:03:52,840
Speaker 3: was a one man wrecking machine. So when you had

2351
02:03:52,960 --> 02:03:55,960
Speaker 3: number ninety nine of Saint Louis or LA later in

2352
02:03:56,000 --> 02:04:00,360
Speaker 3: his career on the roster. On the depth chart, you

2353
02:04:00,400 --> 02:04:03,640
Speaker 3: circled his number three times, and that's typically the number

2354
02:04:03,640 --> 02:04:05,960
Speaker 3: of blockers you tried to throw at him, because he

2355
02:04:06,040 --> 02:04:09,320
Speaker 3: could split double teams pretty easily. So there were many

2356
02:04:09,360 --> 02:04:14,480
Speaker 3: times where you're sliding the protection his way. You're trying

2357
02:04:14,520 --> 02:04:17,840
Speaker 3: to get your back or your tight end on their

2358
02:04:17,880 --> 02:04:20,680
Speaker 3: way out to the route to chip them, you know,

2359
02:04:20,760 --> 02:04:24,960
Speaker 3: to help with the offensive lineman who's task with blocking him.

2360
02:04:25,120 --> 02:04:27,879
Speaker 3: And the worst part about him is he was so versatile.

2361
02:04:27,960 --> 02:04:29,880
Speaker 3: He could play from the left side, he could play

2362
02:04:29,920 --> 02:04:31,960
Speaker 3: from the right side. He could play over the center,

2363
02:04:31,960 --> 02:04:34,960
Speaker 3: he could play over both guards, both tackles. He could

2364
02:04:34,960 --> 02:04:37,800
Speaker 3: be an edge rusher, he could be an interior defensive lineman.

2365
02:04:38,400 --> 02:04:41,440
Speaker 3: He defended well against the run. There were no weaknesses

2366
02:04:41,560 --> 02:04:44,880
Speaker 3: in his game. He's one of those players who kind

2367
02:04:44,880 --> 02:04:50,000
Speaker 3: of feels like the mythology actually matches the man.

2368
02:04:50,360 --> 02:04:52,160
Speaker 4: And I told this story.

2369
02:04:52,240 --> 02:04:56,640
Speaker 3: So my final game of my career was the Raiders

2370
02:04:56,720 --> 02:04:57,560
Speaker 3: twenty fourteen.

2371
02:04:57,920 --> 02:05:01,080
Speaker 4: When I was playing with the Chargers them in November.

2372
02:05:01,600 --> 02:05:05,200
Speaker 3: The next team on our schedule was the Saint Louis

2373
02:05:05,280 --> 02:05:08,320
Speaker 3: Rams with a much younger Aaron Donald, who was already

2374
02:05:08,320 --> 02:05:11,160
Speaker 3: dominant obviously, like you mentioned, he was a Pro Bowler

2375
02:05:11,160 --> 02:05:14,560
Speaker 3: every single year of his career. And I had a

2376
02:05:14,680 --> 02:05:19,120
Speaker 3: back injury and an ankle injury at the time, and

2377
02:05:19,160 --> 02:05:21,160
Speaker 3: I struggled to finish the game against the Raiders. I

2378
02:05:21,600 --> 02:05:23,760
Speaker 3: can't remember how many snaps I have, but it was.

2379
02:05:24,040 --> 02:05:27,440
Speaker 3: It wasn't pretty, it was ugly, and so I'm like,

2380
02:05:27,520 --> 02:05:28,760
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm going to be able to

2381
02:05:28,800 --> 02:05:30,680
Speaker 3: play next week. And then I saw that we were

2382
02:05:30,720 --> 02:05:32,880
Speaker 3: playing the Rams. I'm like, you know what, now, I

2383
02:05:32,920 --> 02:05:34,680
Speaker 3: know I'm not going to be able to play next week.

2384
02:05:35,040 --> 02:05:37,200
Speaker 3: And it turned out that that Raider game was my

2385
02:05:37,400 --> 02:05:40,000
Speaker 3: last game of my career, and Aaron Donald had something

2386
02:05:40,040 --> 02:05:43,280
Speaker 3: to do with that. That's how dominie was that even

2387
02:05:43,320 --> 02:05:46,360
Speaker 3: if there was an outside chance that I could go,

2388
02:05:46,640 --> 02:05:48,600
Speaker 3: that I could get it together and get out there,

2389
02:05:48,840 --> 02:05:51,400
Speaker 3: I was gonna have to play center snap the ball

2390
02:05:51,920 --> 02:05:53,240
Speaker 3: against number ninety nine.

2391
02:05:53,640 --> 02:05:55,320
Speaker 4: There's no chance. There's no chance.

2392
02:05:55,320 --> 02:05:56,640
Speaker 1: By the way, I do want to imagine.

2393
02:05:56,800 --> 02:05:58,840
Speaker 2: Jim Brown did make the Pro Bowl every year of

2394
02:05:58,840 --> 02:06:01,440
Speaker 2: his career, but he was what I call pre merger.

2395
02:06:01,800 --> 02:06:04,160
Speaker 2: You know, Pro Bowl is a little different when you

2396
02:06:04,200 --> 02:06:07,080
Speaker 2: have twenty six twenty eight thirty thirty two teams than

2397
02:06:07,080 --> 02:06:10,040
Speaker 2: he did when it was twelve teams. Okay, so, but

2398
02:06:10,160 --> 02:06:14,720
Speaker 2: in the post merger era, only Barry Sanders and Aaron

2399
02:06:14,760 --> 02:06:17,920
Speaker 2: Donald pro bowlers every year of their career. So the

2400
02:06:18,080 --> 02:06:21,880
Speaker 2: Rams add Jimmy Garoppolo as a backup. I think that's

2401
02:06:21,920 --> 02:06:24,840
Speaker 2: a great play. I mean, again, say what you will

2402
02:06:24,840 --> 02:06:28,480
Speaker 2: about Garoppolo, and the only reason that Garoppolo's not starting

2403
02:06:28,480 --> 02:06:30,839
Speaker 2: in the NFL is that he just can't stay healthy.

2404
02:06:31,480 --> 02:06:32,720
Speaker 1: But in a backup.

2405
02:06:32,400 --> 02:06:35,720
Speaker 2: Role, you're getting one of the winning his quarterbacks in

2406
02:06:35,800 --> 02:06:39,760
Speaker 2: the history of this league, a quarterback whose career passer

2407
02:06:39,880 --> 02:06:41,480
Speaker 2: rating is in the high nineties.

2408
02:06:41,800 --> 02:06:42,839
Speaker 4: He can play the position.

2409
02:06:42,960 --> 02:06:47,160
Speaker 2: Oh, he just can't stay healthy, which is interesting because

2410
02:06:47,200 --> 02:06:50,040
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford had a huge comeback year in twenty twenty

2411
02:06:50,080 --> 02:06:52,760
Speaker 2: three and was for the most part healthy. But I

2412
02:06:52,800 --> 02:06:54,720
Speaker 2: think that was I thought it was a great play

2413
02:06:54,720 --> 02:06:56,840
Speaker 2: for the Rams to pick up a guy like Jimmy Garoppolo.

2414
02:06:56,960 --> 02:06:57,560
Speaker 4: I agree.

2415
02:06:57,680 --> 02:07:00,120
Speaker 3: I think first of all, you needed to have a

2416
02:07:00,200 --> 02:07:03,680
Speaker 3: quarterback who would be able to handle signing a player

2417
02:07:03,720 --> 02:07:06,800
Speaker 3: of that caliber, and Matthew Stafford is one of the

2418
02:07:06,800 --> 02:07:09,200
Speaker 3: few quarterbacks in the league where if you signed Jimmy

2419
02:07:09,200 --> 02:07:14,160
Speaker 3: Garoppolo doesn't feel like a direct competition for who starts right,

2420
02:07:14,600 --> 02:07:17,480
Speaker 3: So that that has to be taken into the equation

2421
02:07:17,600 --> 02:07:20,680
Speaker 3: when you talk about quarterbacks in this league, the the

2422
02:07:20,800 --> 02:07:23,720
Speaker 3: egos can be fragile, you know, to the point where

2423
02:07:24,520 --> 02:07:29,320
Speaker 3: at this point, if the Eagles signed Jimmy Garoppolo, or

2424
02:07:29,360 --> 02:07:33,200
Speaker 3: if the Dolphins signed Jimmy Garoppolo, or if the Saints

2425
02:07:33,200 --> 02:07:36,720
Speaker 3: signed to Jimmy Garoppolo, as you know, Jalen Hurts to

2426
02:07:36,840 --> 02:07:40,000
Speaker 3: a tongue of Ilo or Derek Carr's backup, all of

2427
02:07:40,040 --> 02:07:43,000
Speaker 3: a sudden, there's gonna be speculation that Jimmy Garoppolo is

2428
02:07:43,040 --> 02:07:46,120
Speaker 3: contending for a starting job with those three franchises. But

2429
02:07:46,200 --> 02:07:48,400
Speaker 3: if you sign him with a quarterback like you know,

2430
02:07:48,600 --> 02:07:52,360
Speaker 3: Josh Allen of Patrick Mahomes, a Matthew Stafford, you know,

2431
02:07:52,440 --> 02:07:54,960
Speaker 3: one of the top qbs in the league, there's a

2432
02:07:55,000 --> 02:07:57,640
Speaker 3: lot less concern. So I agree with you. I think

2433
02:07:57,680 --> 02:08:00,640
Speaker 3: he's going to be a system fit for the Rams.

2434
02:08:01,800 --> 02:08:05,000
Speaker 3: He obviously is intelligent enough to play in a Patriot system,

2435
02:08:05,080 --> 02:08:09,960
Speaker 3: to play in a San Francisco system and have success.

2436
02:08:10,080 --> 02:08:12,720
Speaker 3: Just fragile, Yeah, you want to talk about fragile, I

2437
02:08:12,760 --> 02:08:15,400
Speaker 3: mean physically. Jimmy Garoppolo has made of glass.

2438
02:08:15,600 --> 02:08:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have two quarterbacks that are really good locker

2439
02:08:18,080 --> 02:08:20,960
Speaker 2: room quarterbacks and Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo. So Ram's

2440
02:08:21,000 --> 02:08:25,160
Speaker 2: a good shape there. Arizona interesting pickups. So they staying

2441
02:08:25,200 --> 02:08:28,000
Speaker 2: with Kyler Murray, which they should, and then they got

2442
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:31,200
Speaker 2: Desmond Ritter, which I'm a little bit intrigued by. You

2443
02:08:31,240 --> 02:08:34,880
Speaker 2: know Ritter in Atlanta. You know, again, he's not great.

2444
02:08:35,400 --> 02:08:39,960
Speaker 2: Is he really a starting quarterback? Maybe not, but his

2445
02:08:40,120 --> 02:08:42,400
Speaker 2: skill set is sort of similar to.

2446
02:08:42,280 --> 02:08:45,560
Speaker 1: A Kyler Murray. So I thought that was a and

2447
02:08:45,600 --> 02:08:48,440
Speaker 1: it was an interesting deal. Was a player for player trade,

2448
02:08:49,600 --> 02:08:51,640
Speaker 1: which I thought was a little bizarre to get Rider.

2449
02:08:51,680 --> 02:08:53,920
Speaker 2: But I mean we're talking again about a guy that

2450
02:08:54,200 --> 02:08:56,360
Speaker 2: has been a starting quarterback in this league the last

2451
02:08:56,360 --> 02:08:58,240
Speaker 2: couple of years. So I thought that was a good

2452
02:08:58,240 --> 02:09:00,800
Speaker 2: pickup by Arizona. But I want to get to Seattle

2453
02:09:01,360 --> 02:09:05,280
Speaker 2: and the situation and picking up Sam Howe. This is

2454
02:09:05,360 --> 02:09:10,160
Speaker 2: the Sam Howe who after thirteen weeks last year was

2455
02:09:10,280 --> 02:09:13,840
Speaker 2: leading the NFL in passing yards. The problem with Sam

2456
02:09:13,880 --> 02:09:18,680
Speaker 2: how was he was a turnover machine. I mean he

2457
02:09:18,760 --> 02:09:22,560
Speaker 2: led the league interceptions and he was at one point

2458
02:09:22,600 --> 02:09:27,400
Speaker 2: on record pace for getting sacked. Yeah, so again, maybe

2459
02:09:27,440 --> 02:09:32,040
Speaker 2: trying too hard to make things happen, forcing throws, hanging

2460
02:09:32,120 --> 02:09:35,840
Speaker 2: on the wall too long. Now he goes to Seattle

2461
02:09:35,960 --> 02:09:38,800
Speaker 2: behind Geno Smith. I don't know how long this Gino

2462
02:09:38,880 --> 02:09:42,800
Speaker 2: Smith run is going to last in Seattle, because obviously

2463
02:09:42,840 --> 02:09:44,320
Speaker 2: two years ago he was in the Pro Bowl. He

2464
02:09:44,320 --> 02:09:47,200
Speaker 2: played pretty well last year. But I thought that was

2465
02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:51,560
Speaker 2: a pretty good pick up by Seattle to get a

2466
02:09:51,560 --> 02:09:54,840
Speaker 2: guy like Sam Howe, if if you can sort of

2467
02:09:54,880 --> 02:09:57,360
Speaker 2: clean him up a little bit and just get him

2468
02:09:57,400 --> 02:10:01,200
Speaker 2: to stop forcing things and throwing the ball away.

2469
02:10:01,600 --> 02:10:06,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, Sam Howe scrappy. I think he is intelligent.

2470
02:10:06,760 --> 02:10:09,880
Speaker 3: I think he has some of the intangibles that you

2471
02:10:09,920 --> 02:10:12,960
Speaker 3: need to play with at the NFL level. I think

2472
02:10:13,160 --> 02:10:18,520
Speaker 3: for Sam Howe, they're just weren't There just wasn't enough

2473
02:10:18,600 --> 02:10:23,560
Speaker 3: time or consistency with that coaching staff to produce the

2474
02:10:23,600 --> 02:10:27,840
Speaker 3: way that anybody would need a starting quarterback, like a

2475
02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:32,240
Speaker 3: franchise quarterback to produce like And that's probably making too

2476
02:10:32,280 --> 02:10:37,560
Speaker 3: many excuses for him. I honestly, I don't have a

2477
02:10:37,600 --> 02:10:40,560
Speaker 3: dog in the fight defending his play. I don't think

2478
02:10:40,600 --> 02:10:42,600
Speaker 3: of him when I think of Sam Howe. I don't

2479
02:10:42,640 --> 02:10:44,440
Speaker 3: think of him as a guy who as a future

2480
02:10:44,840 --> 02:10:48,640
Speaker 3: as a franchise quarterback. But then again, I say I

2481
02:10:48,920 --> 02:10:51,560
Speaker 3: would say the same thing about Gino Smith before he

2482
02:10:51,640 --> 02:10:55,720
Speaker 3: had a breakout season in Seattle. And we'll we'll see

2483
02:10:55,760 --> 02:10:58,560
Speaker 3: if that continues to be the case where Gino Smith

2484
02:10:58,600 --> 02:11:02,120
Speaker 3: can actually operate at or near the level he operated

2485
02:11:02,160 --> 02:11:05,160
Speaker 3: at in twenty twenty two. Twenty twenty three was a

2486
02:11:05,200 --> 02:11:06,800
Speaker 3: different year, a little bit of a down year for

2487
02:11:06,840 --> 02:11:09,600
Speaker 3: the Seattle offense. We'll see what it looks like next year.

2488
02:11:09,640 --> 02:11:11,960
Speaker 3: And then all the while, you can put a guy

2489
02:11:12,000 --> 02:11:14,320
Speaker 3: on the back burner. You could give a guy like

2490
02:11:14,600 --> 02:11:18,080
Speaker 3: Howell time to, you know, catch his breath a little

2491
02:11:18,080 --> 02:11:21,040
Speaker 3: bit after the start he's had in the NFL and

2492
02:11:21,160 --> 02:11:25,200
Speaker 3: learn some things behind a very veteran, good leader like

2493
02:11:25,320 --> 02:11:26,000
Speaker 3: Gino Smith.

2494
02:11:26,640 --> 02:11:28,520
Speaker 2: So let me ask you this as we wrap this

2495
02:11:28,680 --> 02:11:34,720
Speaker 2: up here with Purty Stafford, Gino Smith, and Kyler Murray

2496
02:11:35,160 --> 02:11:39,680
Speaker 2: top to bottom? Is that the best quarterback division in

2497
02:11:39,720 --> 02:11:44,400
Speaker 2: the NFL? I mean, I'm not saying they have the

2498
02:11:44,440 --> 02:11:48,680
Speaker 2: best quarterbacks, but I don't When you look at Perty Stafford,

2499
02:11:48,680 --> 02:11:52,040
Speaker 2: Gino Smith, and Kyler Murray, there isn't one guy you

2500
02:11:52,120 --> 02:11:53,960
Speaker 2: say yeah, that guy sucks.

2501
02:11:54,320 --> 02:11:57,240
Speaker 4: No, I get it. I would say overall.

2502
02:11:56,960 --> 02:12:01,360
Speaker 2: Every one of these divisions have got multiple teams that wow,

2503
02:12:01,760 --> 02:12:03,000
Speaker 2: they got a lot of work to do.

2504
02:12:03,560 --> 02:12:07,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say the although, you know, the AFC

2505
02:12:07,160 --> 02:12:08,560
Speaker 3: North feels like the answer.

2506
02:12:08,640 --> 02:12:09,440
Speaker 4: And here's why.

2507
02:12:09,760 --> 02:12:14,600
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson is probably the quarterback who you would assume

2508
02:12:14,680 --> 02:12:17,400
Speaker 3: has the least potential to do amazing things.

2509
02:12:17,400 --> 02:12:19,760
Speaker 4: But then the Steelers gets Justin Field too has high

2510
02:12:19,840 --> 02:12:20,720
Speaker 4: potential as well.

2511
02:12:20,800 --> 02:12:23,120
Speaker 2: Does he have high potential? Mister ten and twenty eight?

2512
02:12:23,120 --> 02:12:24,840
Speaker 2: And what about Deshaun Watson.

2513
02:12:24,560 --> 02:12:26,600
Speaker 4: Well, well, Deshaun Watson, same thing.

2514
02:12:26,920 --> 02:12:29,920
Speaker 3: But I'm saying like the basement feels higher, yeah, in

2515
02:12:30,080 --> 02:12:32,480
Speaker 3: the AFC North than it does in the AFC West.

2516
02:12:33,120 --> 02:12:35,440
Speaker 3: You know, and I understand who Stafford is and Brock

2517
02:12:35,480 --> 02:12:38,240
Speaker 3: Purdy's been electric since he's gotten the opportunity to start

2518
02:12:38,280 --> 02:12:40,560
Speaker 3: for the Niners. But you know, you look at Lamar

2519
02:12:40,640 --> 02:12:43,520
Speaker 3: Jackson and Joe Burrow and then you have Russell Wilson,

2520
02:12:43,680 --> 02:12:47,480
Speaker 3: Justin Fields and Deshaun Watson in that division. I would

2521
02:12:48,080 --> 02:12:51,520
Speaker 3: I mean, until proven otherwise, AFC North is my answer

2522
02:12:51,640 --> 02:12:56,280
Speaker 3: as far as what division has the highest basement in

2523
02:12:56,360 --> 02:12:58,440
Speaker 3: terms of level of QB play all right on.

2524
02:12:58,440 --> 02:13:00,520
Speaker 1: The other side, dude, just this up.

2525
02:13:00,560 --> 02:13:00,880
Speaker 4: We are.

2526
02:13:01,200 --> 02:13:04,000
Speaker 2: There are still a few names available. The question is

2527
02:13:04,040 --> 02:13:06,480
Speaker 2: do they have any value at all?

2528
02:13:06,520 --> 02:13:07,320
Speaker 1: We'll break it down.

2529
02:13:07,360 --> 02:13:11,680

02:14:02,440 --> 02:14:06,200
Speaker 2: and Graduate Hotels. I have tried so many different methods

2545
02:14:06,240 --> 02:14:12,880
Speaker 2: to win. The last time I won a legitimate bracket challenge,

2546
02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:14,080
Speaker 2: and this is accurate.

2547
02:14:14,240 --> 02:14:15,800
Speaker 1: Was nineteen eighty.

2548
02:14:15,560 --> 02:14:21,440
Speaker 2: Seven, Rich, you were not even one yet, and it

2549
02:14:21,520 --> 02:14:24,120
Speaker 2: was the year that Bob Knight won his third and

2550
02:14:24,200 --> 02:14:28,240
Speaker 2: final NCAA championship, and I had Indiana winning it all

2551
02:14:28,360 --> 02:14:32,000
Speaker 2: that year, and UNLB had a great team Final four

2552
02:14:32,040 --> 02:14:33,920
Speaker 2: team that year. But that's the last time I won

2553
02:14:34,000 --> 02:14:40,120
Speaker 2: a legitimate, like win money type of bracket. So I'll

2554
02:14:40,120 --> 02:14:43,760
Speaker 2: fill out a bracket. If you can't beat me, you

2555
02:14:43,800 --> 02:14:44,600
Speaker 2: can't beat anyone.

2556
02:14:44,680 --> 02:14:45,520
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way.

2557
02:14:45,600 --> 02:14:50,760
Speaker 2: Okay, So my brackets, I've tried everything I've tried. I've

2558
02:14:50,800 --> 02:14:54,960
Speaker 2: tried duplicating brackets that are posted by so called experts,

2559
02:14:55,400 --> 02:14:57,720
Speaker 2: figuring me of, well, this guy knows what he's talking about,

2560
02:14:57,720 --> 02:15:01,240
Speaker 2: so I'm just going to copy his plagiar That doesn't work.

2561
02:15:01,480 --> 02:15:02,120
Speaker 4: Yeah that works.

2562
02:15:02,240 --> 02:15:03,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I always picked the wrong one.

2563
02:15:04,720 --> 02:15:05,080
Speaker 4: All right.

2564
02:15:05,120 --> 02:15:08,800
Speaker 2: So I wanted to throw four names at you quarterbacks.

2565
02:15:09,160 --> 02:15:12,120
Speaker 2: All right, and let's say, let's talk about the Denver

2566
02:15:12,160 --> 02:15:14,280
Speaker 2: Broncos like they seem to be in the most desperate

2567
02:15:14,320 --> 02:15:16,000
Speaker 2: situation with Jared Stidham.

2568
02:15:17,080 --> 02:15:18,200
Speaker 1: Here are the four quarterbacks.

2569
02:15:18,360 --> 02:15:20,920
Speaker 2: Say the names, and then you rate them one to

2570
02:15:21,080 --> 02:15:25,120
Speaker 2: four or just eliminate all four, it's a possibility at

2571
02:15:25,200 --> 02:15:29,480
Speaker 2: least short term for the Denver Broncos. Okay, you have

2572
02:15:29,680 --> 02:15:37,800
Speaker 2: Ryan Tannehill, you have Carson Wentz, you have Joshua Dobbs,

2573
02:15:39,120 --> 02:15:43,000
Speaker 2: and you have Zach Wilson. So those are the four

2574
02:15:43,080 --> 02:15:47,960
Speaker 2: quarterbacks that are still out there. Ryan Tannehill, Carson Wentz,

2575
02:15:48,400 --> 02:15:51,200
Speaker 2: Joshua Dobbs, Zack Wilson.

2576
02:15:51,920 --> 02:15:56,080
Speaker 3: This is going to sound well, depending I mean depending

2577
02:15:56,120 --> 02:15:58,400
Speaker 3: I guess on the football fan, this is going to

2578
02:15:58,440 --> 02:16:02,160
Speaker 3: sound like the safe and born pick. But Ryan Tannehill

2579
02:16:02,560 --> 02:16:10,320
Speaker 3: is easily the most talented and experienced and frankly, when

2580
02:16:10,360 --> 02:16:15,480
Speaker 3: you look at his stats good, I mean, or better.

2581
02:16:15,840 --> 02:16:18,200
Speaker 3: I don't know how to phrase it, but he's the

2582
02:16:18,240 --> 02:16:19,240
Speaker 3: best of that bunch.

2583
02:16:19,720 --> 02:16:22,800
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just it really is as.

2584
02:16:22,640 --> 02:16:27,000
Speaker 3: Simple as this, when when you look at quarterback the

2585
02:16:27,080 --> 02:16:31,440
Speaker 3: position in totality, the most important thing is being able

2586
02:16:31,520 --> 02:16:35,400
Speaker 3: to win the rep before the ball is snapped. Zach

2587
02:16:35,440 --> 02:16:40,320
Speaker 3: Wilson's not there yet. I think josh Dobbs is probably close,

2588
02:16:41,160 --> 02:16:43,880
Speaker 3: and he's shown at times that he's absolutely smart enough

2589
02:16:43,879 --> 02:16:45,280
Speaker 3: to handle the riggers of this game.

2590
02:16:45,800 --> 02:16:47,800
Speaker 4: But he's a little frail, you know.

2591
02:16:47,879 --> 02:16:50,200
Speaker 3: And this is this is a big boy league and

2592
02:16:50,240 --> 02:16:52,520
Speaker 3: you're gonna get hit a lot. And I think he

2593
02:16:52,600 --> 02:16:57,160
Speaker 3: sacrifices his body a little too willingly. So I would

2594
02:16:57,200 --> 02:16:58,360
Speaker 3: take Ryan Tannehill.

2595
02:16:58,879 --> 02:16:59,520
Speaker 4: I think that.

2596
02:17:00,520 --> 02:17:03,200
Speaker 2: You're dismissing Carson Wentz, who by the way, led the

2597
02:17:03,280 --> 02:17:04,879
Speaker 2: Rams to a big win last year.

2598
02:17:05,320 --> 02:17:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Carson Wentz the from a cultural standpoint, for whatever reason,

2599
02:17:11,080 --> 02:17:11,920
Speaker 3: it's followed him.

2600
02:17:11,840 --> 02:17:13,360
Speaker 4: Out of the Philadelphia locker room.

2601
02:17:13,400 --> 02:17:16,760
Speaker 3: It has and it was in Indye also that the

2602
02:17:17,160 --> 02:17:21,760
Speaker 3: for whatever reason, he has this this air around him

2603
02:17:21,840 --> 02:17:24,800
Speaker 3: that doesn't appear to get along well with his locker room,

2604
02:17:24,800 --> 02:17:27,800
Speaker 3: with his teammates. That's not good at the quarterback position.

2605
02:17:27,920 --> 02:17:31,480
Speaker 3: Ryan Tannehal has none of that. His his teammates loved

2606
02:17:31,520 --> 02:17:33,760
Speaker 3: playing with him, and he loves his teammates and it's

2607
02:17:33,760 --> 02:17:36,720
Speaker 3: a big love fest. And after Russell Wilson in the

2608
02:17:36,760 --> 02:17:39,879
Speaker 3: weirdness that was occurring in Denver, where there weren't a

2609
02:17:39,879 --> 02:17:43,520
Speaker 3: lot of you know, big boohoo tiers from the team,

2610
02:17:43,600 --> 02:17:47,080
Speaker 3: from the from the teammates or you know, from the

2611
02:17:47,120 --> 02:17:50,040
Speaker 3: front office or the coaching staff about him being traded

2612
02:17:50,080 --> 02:17:53,320
Speaker 3: to steal To to Pittsburgh, it feels to me like

2613
02:17:53,440 --> 02:17:56,440
Speaker 3: Ryan Tannehill would be the most stable of those quarterbacks,

2614
02:17:56,440 --> 02:18:01,320
Speaker 3: and frankly, again I one think he's the most talented

2615
02:18:01,320 --> 02:18:02,800
Speaker 3: free agent quarterback left of VELP.

2616
02:18:02,840 --> 02:18:04,760
Speaker 2: I would agree with you there, and again I go

2617
02:18:04,920 --> 02:18:08,480
Speaker 2: back to a conversation we had with Adam Kaplan over

2618
02:18:08,520 --> 02:18:10,520
Speaker 2: a month ago where when I asked him who the

2619
02:18:10,520 --> 02:18:13,039
Speaker 2: Steelers quarterback for twenty twenty four was going to be,

2620
02:18:13,400 --> 02:18:15,720
Speaker 2: he insisted it was going to be Ryan Tannehill because

2621
02:18:15,760 --> 02:18:21,160
Speaker 2: of his ties with Arthur Smith. So Zach Wilson, we

2622
02:18:21,240 --> 02:18:26,680
Speaker 2: talk again about the twenty twenty one NFL Draft. Five

2623
02:18:26,879 --> 02:18:30,240
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the first fifteen picks. Three of them have

2624
02:18:30,320 --> 02:18:34,280
Speaker 2: already changed teams, and we know that Zach Wilson will

2625
02:18:35,360 --> 02:18:39,560
Speaker 2: or will he? I mean at this point, based on

2626
02:18:39,600 --> 02:18:43,000
Speaker 2: the fact that you know, Mac Jones got a sixth

2627
02:18:43,080 --> 02:18:46,320
Speaker 2: round pick, and the same thing with Justin Fields unless

2628
02:18:46,440 --> 02:18:49,680
Speaker 2: Justin Fields plays fifty one percent of the snaps in Pittsburgh,

2629
02:18:49,680 --> 02:18:53,280
Speaker 2: which is not going to happen unless Russell Wilson gets hurt.

2630
02:18:54,720 --> 02:18:57,000
Speaker 2: Can you even get a seventh round pick for Zach Wilson,

2631
02:18:57,000 --> 02:18:59,480
Speaker 2: who was the number two overall pick in the draft

2632
02:18:59,520 --> 02:19:00,440
Speaker 2: just three years years ago.

2633
02:19:00,800 --> 02:19:03,000
Speaker 4: Doubtful, doubtful, doubtful.

2634
02:19:03,160 --> 02:19:05,120
Speaker 2: I mean they signed to Rod Taylor. So they have

2635
02:19:05,160 --> 02:19:07,960
Speaker 2: a backup to Aaron Rodgers. What do you just release

2636
02:19:08,040 --> 02:19:09,280
Speaker 2: this guy? I mean, what do you do?

2637
02:19:09,879 --> 02:19:10,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

2638
02:19:10,200 --> 02:19:13,640
Speaker 3: Pretty much? I mean there's nothing you can do. Sometimes

2639
02:19:13,720 --> 02:19:16,840
Speaker 3: you just miss. This is what happened with the Cardinals

2640
02:19:17,280 --> 02:19:19,880
Speaker 3: when they drafted Rosen. They got it wrong.

2641
02:19:20,200 --> 02:19:23,920
Speaker 2: Yes, so he joins Josh Rosen. Then is what you're saying?

2642
02:19:24,200 --> 02:19:26,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean he made it an extra season.

2643
02:19:26,760 --> 02:19:29,560
Speaker 3: Josh Rosen made it one. I guess he could put

2644
02:19:29,560 --> 02:19:31,200
Speaker 3: a feather in his cap that he made it two.

2645
02:19:32,160 --> 02:19:36,800
Speaker 3: But look, Josh, it was abundantly clear as soon as

2646
02:19:36,800 --> 02:19:40,080
Speaker 3: he got to Arizona that you want to talk about

2647
02:19:40,120 --> 02:19:43,240
Speaker 3: being able to win pre snap, there were times on

2648
02:19:43,280 --> 02:19:45,880
Speaker 3: the practice field, and I heard this from people who

2649
02:19:45,920 --> 02:19:49,120
Speaker 3: would know that he was confused what defensive front he

2650
02:19:49,240 --> 02:19:51,240
Speaker 3: was looking at, like it just wasn't going to happen.

2651
02:19:51,280 --> 02:19:53,119
Speaker 3: It wasn't gonna work out for him at the NFL

2652
02:19:53,240 --> 02:19:56,680
Speaker 3: level and hasn't. And so Zach Wilson. I don't know

2653
02:19:56,879 --> 02:20:00,039
Speaker 3: exactly what the problems are for Zach Wilson, but I

2654
02:19:59,800 --> 02:20:02,240
Speaker 3: can tell you what I've seen. What I've seen as

2655
02:20:02,240 --> 02:20:05,920
Speaker 3: a guy who looks like the game is too fast

2656
02:20:05,959 --> 02:20:08,119
Speaker 3: and too big for him right now, at this point

2657
02:20:08,160 --> 02:20:11,560
Speaker 3: in his career, it hasn't progressed much. And then there

2658
02:20:11,600 --> 02:20:14,120
Speaker 3: are concerns with how he handles himself when he is

2659
02:20:14,240 --> 02:20:17,440
Speaker 3: under pressure. And I understand that he was drafted to

2660
02:20:17,520 --> 02:20:20,360
Speaker 3: a bad Jets team and it's market one in this country,

2661
02:20:20,400 --> 02:20:26,240
Speaker 3: and you're dealing with a very a pushy media in

2662
02:20:26,320 --> 02:20:29,560
Speaker 3: that city who aren't gonna you know, they're not going

2663
02:20:29,600 --> 02:20:34,360
Speaker 3: to You're going to be weathering a storm whether you're

2664
02:20:34,400 --> 02:20:38,720
Speaker 3: a talented quarterback or not. And so when you're struggling

2665
02:20:39,560 --> 02:20:43,200
Speaker 3: and you're in that market, man, everything is going to

2666
02:20:43,280 --> 02:20:47,640
Speaker 3: be exemplified and highlighted and amplified. And that's exactly what

2667
02:20:47,720 --> 02:20:50,840
Speaker 3: happened with Zach Wilson. So yeah, the trust factor is

2668
02:20:50,879 --> 02:20:53,360
Speaker 3: really low. I don't think any team is going to

2669
02:20:53,400 --> 02:20:55,760
Speaker 3: part with the seventh rounder. I think the Jets will

2670
02:20:55,879 --> 02:20:59,600
Speaker 3: end up having to release him. And my hope for

2671
02:20:59,720 --> 02:21:02,880
Speaker 3: Zach Wilson, because I've said this my entire time as

2672
02:21:02,879 --> 02:21:05,119
Speaker 3: a broadcast, for my entire time as.

2673
02:21:04,920 --> 02:21:08,640
Speaker 4: A player, great quarterback play makes the league better.

2674
02:21:08,920 --> 02:21:12,400
Speaker 3: So my hope is he gets on someone's roster, he

2675
02:21:12,560 --> 02:21:15,039
Speaker 3: learns how to handle himself at the quarterback position.

2676
02:21:15,200 --> 02:21:17,039
Speaker 4: He can do it away from the light of day.

2677
02:21:17,600 --> 02:21:20,080
Speaker 3: You know, he can get some practice reps, get more

2678
02:21:20,120 --> 02:21:22,600
Speaker 3: comfortable at this level, and get more comfortable with the

2679
02:21:22,600 --> 02:21:25,119
Speaker 3: speed of this game, and who knows, maybe sometime later

2680
02:21:25,200 --> 02:21:27,720
Speaker 3: on his career he'll emerge as a starter somewhere.

2681
02:21:28,959 --> 02:21:31,400
Speaker 2: Josh rozen is one of my all time favorites. I

2682
02:21:31,440 --> 02:21:35,320
Speaker 2: still go back to his amazing quote after falling. I

2683
02:21:35,360 --> 02:21:36,879
Speaker 2: mean he thought he should have been the number one

2684
02:21:36,959 --> 02:21:40,520
Speaker 2: quarterback in that draft. That's correct, and at that time,

2685
02:21:40,680 --> 02:21:43,600
Speaker 2: Tom Brady had five Super Bowl wins under his belt

2686
02:21:43,640 --> 02:21:46,640
Speaker 2: at the time of that draft, and the quote from

2687
02:21:46,760 --> 02:21:49,440
Speaker 2: Josh Rosen was, so I want to be the winniest

2688
02:21:49,520 --> 02:21:52,039
Speaker 2: QB in NFL history. I want to win the most

2689
02:21:52,080 --> 02:21:55,640
Speaker 2: games and the most championships. I'd say six titles. But

2690
02:21:55,680 --> 02:22:00,680
Speaker 2: if Tom Brady gets six, I'll say seven. Well, right

2691
02:22:00,760 --> 02:22:03,080
Speaker 2: now is seven. So now he's got to get to eight.

2692
02:22:03,160 --> 02:22:05,400
Speaker 3: He's got to get to eight. Here's the thing. Here's

2693
02:22:05,400 --> 02:22:08,200
Speaker 3: the thing I don't mind. I don't mind when a

2694
02:22:08,280 --> 02:22:11,360
Speaker 3: quarterback sets his sites, or any player for that matter,

2695
02:22:11,440 --> 02:22:16,600
Speaker 3: sets his sites extremely high. I mean, every player who

2696
02:22:16,680 --> 02:22:20,280
Speaker 3: has ever played with any level of confidence is trying

2697
02:22:20,400 --> 02:22:23,520
Speaker 3: to be or beat the best, like that's what you

2698
02:22:23,560 --> 02:22:27,279
Speaker 3: gotta do to operate at a high level. And Josh Rosen,

2699
02:22:27,320 --> 02:22:30,080
Speaker 3: to his credit, was a high level talent at.

2700
02:22:29,959 --> 02:22:33,360
Speaker 4: The college level, was he. It just didn't translate at.

2701
02:22:33,240 --> 02:22:37,440
Speaker 1: All, was he? I mean his Ucla years. Look at

2702
02:22:37,440 --> 02:22:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm a Ucla guy. He's just like you ever lived

02:26:33,320 --> 02:26:36,400
Speaker 2: big to UAB. But if they have some miraculous second

2779
02:26:36,440 --> 02:26:39,160
Speaker 2: half comeback, I mean, there's another team that would punch

2780
02:26:39,200 --> 02:26:42,160
Speaker 2: their ticket to the tournament with a losing record.

2781
02:26:42,280 --> 02:26:42,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2782
02:26:42,520 --> 02:26:46,240
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio host Brian know who I work with

2783
02:26:46,280 --> 02:26:51,000
Speaker 3: on Saturday mornings, not a fan of teams with losing

2784
02:26:51,040 --> 02:26:54,959
Speaker 3: records making the NCAA Tournament. But I reminded him, I'm

2785
02:26:54,959 --> 02:26:56,880
Speaker 3: pretty sure it was either me, well, it might have

2786
02:26:56,920 --> 02:26:59,000
Speaker 3: been Jared. Either way, one of the two of us

2787
02:26:59,040 --> 02:27:02,120
Speaker 3: his co hosts on the show yesterday reminded him that

2788
02:27:02,280 --> 02:27:07,600
Speaker 3: every year in the NCAA Tournament there is a team

2789
02:27:07,640 --> 02:27:10,240
Speaker 3: with a losing record who gets an auto bit, and no.

2790
02:27:10,240 --> 02:27:13,280
Speaker 2: Team with a losing record going into the tournament has

2791
02:27:13,320 --> 02:27:15,040
Speaker 2: ever gotten past the first round.

2792
02:27:15,080 --> 02:27:19,240
Speaker 3: Correct, well, one team has only one team in the

2793
02:27:19,280 --> 02:27:22,440
Speaker 3: history of the tournament since expansion in eighty five. It

2794
02:27:22,480 --> 02:27:24,480
Speaker 3: was the ninety one Villanova one.

2795
02:27:24,520 --> 02:27:25,920
Speaker 1: But they didn't have a losing record.

2796
02:27:26,280 --> 02:27:27,760
Speaker 4: Oh no, you're right, you're absolutely right.

2797
02:27:27,800 --> 02:27:29,760
Speaker 1: Now, they did it with a losing record.

2798
02:27:29,920 --> 02:27:33,920
Speaker 4: You're absolutely right. They were sixteen and fourteen, and that

2799
02:27:34,120 --> 02:27:34,240
Speaker 4: was the.

2800
02:27:34,280 --> 02:27:36,040
Speaker 1: Worst record win a game.

2801
02:27:36,480 --> 02:27:39,640
Speaker 2: But a no team with a losing records there's been

2802
02:27:39,680 --> 02:27:41,520
Speaker 2: I don't know the exact to I think there's been

2803
02:27:41,520 --> 02:27:44,720
Speaker 2: about twenty of them that have actually qualified.

2804
02:27:44,760 --> 02:27:46,200
Speaker 1: The worst is eleven and eighteen.

2805
02:27:46,280 --> 02:27:49,760
Speaker 2: Three schools at eleven and eighteen actually made it into

2806
02:27:49,800 --> 02:27:53,760
Speaker 2: the tournament. So what was almost happened with Brown could

2807
02:27:53,760 --> 02:27:59,039
Speaker 2: happen with Temple again, not unprecedented. So and then of

2808
02:27:59,040 --> 02:28:01,200
Speaker 2: course the Big Ten champion will be the final one

2809
02:28:01,280 --> 02:28:04,879
Speaker 2: Wisconsin in Illinois. And then we get ready, by the way,

2810
02:28:05,000 --> 02:28:07,080
Speaker 2: a little side note, did you see what happened at

2811
02:28:07,080 --> 02:28:09,920
Speaker 2: the end of that Lakers Warriors game last night.

2812
02:28:10,560 --> 02:28:12,920
Speaker 4: I did not know Bo.

2813
02:28:13,040 --> 02:28:15,200
Speaker 2: You want to get in on this, Chris as well,

2814
02:28:15,240 --> 02:28:18,280
Speaker 2: because so last night it was an interesting game.

2815
02:28:18,879 --> 02:28:20,920
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis went out with an eye injury.

2816
02:28:20,920 --> 02:28:23,400
Speaker 2: He got poked in the eye, so the Lakers are

2817
02:28:23,440 --> 02:28:26,720
Speaker 2: a bit shorthanded. Lebron was playing out of his mind again.

2818
02:28:26,800 --> 02:28:30,160
Speaker 2: He scored forty points in this game. So what happened

2819
02:28:30,320 --> 02:28:32,720
Speaker 2: was he hit a three from the corner to cut

2820
02:28:32,800 --> 02:28:35,080
Speaker 2: the Warriors lead to four. This game was out at

2821
02:28:35,280 --> 02:28:39,640
Speaker 2: Crypto dot Com Arena, and then the Lakers challenged a

2822
02:28:39,760 --> 02:28:43,160
Speaker 2: call on the court. They won the challenge and lost

2823
02:28:43,160 --> 02:28:46,039
Speaker 2: three points at the same time because while they were

2824
02:28:46,120 --> 02:28:50,119
Speaker 2: challenging one call, they went back and saw that Lebron's

2825
02:28:50,200 --> 02:28:53,080
Speaker 2: heel when he actually made that three point shot was

2826
02:28:53,080 --> 02:28:57,240
Speaker 2: on the line. So they win the challenge, but they

2827
02:28:57,280 --> 02:29:00,640
Speaker 2: lose three points in the process. But then things really

2828
02:29:00,680 --> 02:29:05,160
Speaker 2: got crazy, so they had another challenge and they had

2829
02:29:05,160 --> 02:29:08,640
Speaker 2: to reset the twenty four second clock and reset the

2830
02:29:08,640 --> 02:29:12,480
Speaker 2: twenty four second clock, and reset the twenty four second clock.

2831
02:29:12,760 --> 02:29:16,720
Speaker 2: It was malfunctioning. They reset it four times. The last

2832
02:29:16,760 --> 02:29:19,440
Speaker 2: two minutes of that game took twenty five minutes to play.

2833
02:29:20,200 --> 02:29:21,280
Speaker 1: It was so bad.

2834
02:29:21,400 --> 02:29:25,080
Speaker 2: At one point they showed Ben Affleck on the sideline

2835
02:29:25,120 --> 02:29:25,879
Speaker 2: there with.

2836
02:29:27,320 --> 02:29:31,400
Speaker 1: His bride Jenni j Love.

2837
02:29:31,440 --> 02:29:35,000
Speaker 11: Yes, yeah, so you can't even get on the mind.

2838
02:29:36,920 --> 02:29:40,959
Speaker 2: And they showed dead afflic literally slumping in his seat,

2839
02:29:41,520 --> 02:29:45,119
Speaker 2: you know, like, come on, guys, can't you get your

2840
02:29:45,280 --> 02:29:45,800
Speaker 2: you know what?

2841
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:46,400
Speaker 1: Together?

2842
02:29:46,680 --> 02:29:46,880
Speaker 4: Yeah?

2843
02:29:47,040 --> 02:29:49,160
Speaker 11: Okay, Well, the good news for the NBA is it's

2844
02:29:49,200 --> 02:29:51,640
Speaker 11: not like this was a nationally televised game between the

2845
02:29:51,680 --> 02:29:53,600
Speaker 11: Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors.

2846
02:29:54,200 --> 02:29:57,160
Speaker 1: Yes, right, exactly, So it wasn't like everyone saw.

2847
02:29:57,040 --> 02:30:00,760
Speaker 11: That this was Piston's sorry, Piston's Wizards last night.

2848
02:30:00,840 --> 02:30:05,520
Speaker 1: I mean, how embarrassing cunning him a man? I mean

2849
02:30:05,560 --> 02:30:06,320
Speaker 1: it was unreal.

2850
02:30:07,520 --> 02:30:11,119
Speaker 2: And in fact, Lawrence Tanner, my lt my dear friend,

2851
02:30:11,160 --> 02:30:14,240
Speaker 2: who's the voice of the arena has been.

2852
02:30:14,160 --> 02:30:17,039
Speaker 1: Forever, he actually had to do the countdown.

2853
02:30:17,160 --> 02:30:19,440
Speaker 8: That's what I wanted to know. Did he like countdown

2854
02:30:19,520 --> 02:30:20,400
Speaker 8: how like the.

2855
02:30:20,360 --> 02:30:22,160
Speaker 9: Two minutes that were left very carefully?

2856
02:30:22,280 --> 02:30:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, very carefully, like he was the clock.

2857
02:30:24,959 --> 02:30:27,440
Speaker 7: But like everyone could hear in the arena, he was

2858
02:30:27,440 --> 02:30:28,200
Speaker 7: like fifty nine.

2859
02:30:28,400 --> 02:30:32,760
Speaker 9: Well he was like basketball, if someone was counting every

2860
02:30:32,800 --> 02:30:34,480
Speaker 9: second is an.

2861
02:30:34,360 --> 02:30:39,439
Speaker 1: NFL game or an NBA game. It was unbelievable.

2862
02:30:39,879 --> 02:30:42,400
Speaker 8: I know, Jyla looked real cute in those shoes. That's

2863
02:30:42,400 --> 02:30:43,160
Speaker 8: really all I saw.

2864
02:30:43,280 --> 02:30:44,840
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, I bet you did.

2865
02:30:44,920 --> 02:30:48,600
Speaker 1: But Ben Ben, who has very little patience, seemingly he.

2866
02:30:48,600 --> 02:30:51,640
Speaker 2: Was so annoyed and always annoyed, and he just he

2867
02:30:51,879 --> 02:30:54,720
Speaker 2: was like slumping in his seat, like really, yeah, we

2868
02:30:54,800 --> 02:30:56,039
Speaker 2: can't get this together.

2869
02:30:56,840 --> 02:30:59,800
Speaker 9: I'm more fascinated by the concept of winning a challenge

2870
02:31:00,040 --> 02:31:01,200
Speaker 9: and losing points.

2871
02:31:01,600 --> 02:31:02,600
Speaker 1: That is always something.

2872
02:31:03,200 --> 02:31:06,600
Speaker 2: Even Steve Kerr, the Warriors coach, said after the game. Now,

2873
02:31:06,640 --> 02:31:09,560
Speaker 2: of course they won the game, right, but he thought

2874
02:31:09,680 --> 02:31:14,280
Speaker 2: that wasn't cool. Yeah, Like, I didn't realize challenge one

2875
02:31:14,440 --> 02:31:17,120
Speaker 2: call and then they just happened upon the fact that

2876
02:31:17,360 --> 02:31:19,680
Speaker 2: his heel was on the way. It was clearly on

2877
02:31:19,720 --> 02:31:22,080
Speaker 2: the line, and they took the three points away. So

2878
02:31:22,160 --> 02:31:24,520
Speaker 2: you won the challenge. But instead of being down four,

2879
02:31:24,600 --> 02:31:25,440
Speaker 2: now you down seven.

2880
02:31:25,879 --> 02:31:28,440
Speaker 9: So like I didn't realize, I guess a challenge you

2881
02:31:28,480 --> 02:31:30,680
Speaker 9: get to look at everything on that play and not

2882
02:31:30,760 --> 02:31:33,800
Speaker 9: just the part that they are like specifically that you

2883
02:31:33,879 --> 02:31:35,680
Speaker 9: are contesting, which seems.

2884
02:31:35,600 --> 02:31:40,040
Speaker 2: I didn't know that either, but they did, and they said, gee,

2885
02:31:40,160 --> 02:31:42,440
Speaker 2: yeah that that your your heel was on the line.

2886
02:31:43,080 --> 02:31:44,080
Speaker 4: It's it's crazy.

2887
02:31:44,320 --> 02:31:48,760
Speaker 3: I mean this goes without saying, but sports are better

2888
02:31:49,040 --> 02:31:54,400
Speaker 3: when officials, umpires, and referees don't get in the way

2889
02:31:54,560 --> 02:31:55,880
Speaker 3: of the sport.

2890
02:31:56,120 --> 02:31:58,200
Speaker 1: Are you Are you a fan of replaying now?

2891
02:31:58,200 --> 02:32:01,880
Speaker 2: I asked that question because when you go back over

2892
02:32:01,920 --> 02:32:08,080
Speaker 2: the history of sports pre replay, there have been many

2893
02:32:08,600 --> 02:32:14,879
Speaker 2: games decided by plays that had there been replay, it.

2894
02:32:14,879 --> 02:32:16,119
Speaker 1: Would have been a different outcome.

2895
02:32:16,360 --> 02:32:19,000
Speaker 2: Well, of course, I mean, we've seen plays played over

2896
02:32:19,040 --> 02:32:22,000
Speaker 2: and over again back in the day where they missed it,

2897
02:32:23,200 --> 02:32:25,920
Speaker 2: critical plays in big games.

2898
02:32:26,360 --> 02:32:27,080
Speaker 4: I understand.

2899
02:32:27,120 --> 02:32:29,960
Speaker 3: However, I will make this argument a counter to this,

2900
02:32:30,000 --> 02:32:32,200
Speaker 3: and then you'll know where I stand on this conversation.

2901
02:32:33,080 --> 02:32:39,720
Speaker 3: Since the induction of replay, which has become obviously widespread

2902
02:32:39,879 --> 02:32:43,280
Speaker 3: and often used by all of these sports leagues, hasn't

2903
02:32:43,280 --> 02:32:46,320
Speaker 3: gotten any better, And the answer is no, it hasn't,

2904
02:32:47,080 --> 02:32:51,480
Speaker 3: because there are still moments in games with replay, with

2905
02:32:51,600 --> 02:32:55,600
Speaker 3: the opportunity to replay a majority if not most, or

2906
02:32:55,760 --> 02:33:00,920
Speaker 3: majority if not half. Let's say, of the calls that

2907
02:33:01,000 --> 02:33:04,039
Speaker 3: take place on a court, on a field, even on

2908
02:33:04,080 --> 02:33:07,879
Speaker 3: the hockey rink, when when you go to the replay,

2909
02:33:08,720 --> 02:33:10,240
Speaker 3: they screw it up there too.

2910
02:33:10,440 --> 02:33:12,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I don't care.

2911
02:33:12,840 --> 02:33:15,879
Speaker 3: I mean, like, honestly, if we went back to the

2912
02:33:15,920 --> 02:33:19,240
Speaker 3: time of no replay. As frustrating as that was for

2913
02:33:19,280 --> 02:33:22,480
Speaker 3: some fans, I don't think it's I don't think the

2914
02:33:22,720 --> 02:33:25,440
Speaker 3: success rate is any higher with replay.

2915
02:33:25,520 --> 02:33:26,800
Speaker 4: And you'll never hear this.

2916
02:33:26,720 --> 02:33:28,920
Speaker 3: From any league, Like no league is going to go

2917
02:33:28,959 --> 02:33:31,640
Speaker 3: back and do a study and say, hey, what was

2918
02:33:31,680 --> 02:33:34,920
Speaker 3: our hit rate and success rate prior to replay and

2919
02:33:34,959 --> 02:33:38,120
Speaker 3: then post replay. And here's the reason why, Because every

2920
02:33:38,160 --> 02:33:40,280
Speaker 3: time you go to replay, you get to fit in

2921
02:33:40,400 --> 02:33:44,120
Speaker 3: another ad break, and these networks love ad breaks, so

2922
02:33:44,760 --> 02:33:47,160
Speaker 3: I don't blame them. Look, it's more money. You know,

2923
02:33:47,200 --> 02:33:50,039
Speaker 3: they're keeping the lights on somehow. But we're not going

2924
02:33:50,080 --> 02:33:52,560
Speaker 3: backwards on this, so it's not even worth bothering wasting

2925
02:33:52,600 --> 02:33:53,360
Speaker 3: our breath over it.

2926
02:33:53,520 --> 02:33:56,160
Speaker 2: Oh, if you had replay, Armando Galaraga would have a

2927
02:33:56,200 --> 02:33:56,840
Speaker 2: perfect game.

2928
02:33:57,320 --> 02:34:00,680
Speaker 11: Well yeah, oh man, I gotta bring that to do

2929
02:34:00,720 --> 02:34:02,040
Speaker 11: this to me geez.

2930
02:34:02,240 --> 02:34:04,000
Speaker 1: I mean he would have a perfect game. I mean,

2931
02:34:04,040 --> 02:34:05,280
Speaker 1: he threw a perfect game.

2932
02:34:05,360 --> 02:34:07,840
Speaker 2: And there's a lot there's a lot of things that's

2933
02:34:07,879 --> 02:34:10,039
Speaker 2: gone wrong in Detroit sports, but that is still like

2934
02:34:10,160 --> 02:34:12,040
Speaker 2: above the picked up flag and the Cowboys.

2935
02:34:12,080 --> 02:34:14,040
Speaker 1: You would not have wanted to hear my radio show

2936
02:34:14,080 --> 02:34:14,720
Speaker 1: the next day.

2937
02:34:14,800 --> 02:34:17,240
Speaker 2: So the next well, the day after, when Joyce came

2938
02:34:17,280 --> 02:34:19,879
Speaker 2: out and admitted he made the mistake. So I brought

2939
02:34:19,879 --> 02:34:22,400
Speaker 2: on a veteran umpire I can't remember which one was,

2940
02:34:22,440 --> 02:34:25,879
Speaker 2: one of those prominent guys, and I said, so, what

2941
02:34:25,959 --> 02:34:27,520
Speaker 2: did you see? And he goes, the only thing I

2942
02:34:27,560 --> 02:34:33,800
Speaker 2: saw is he was he was uh safe? I said, well, no,

2943
02:34:33,879 --> 02:34:36,640
Speaker 2: the replay sod. He clearly was out. He goes, the

2944
02:34:36,640 --> 02:34:39,800
Speaker 2: only mistake I saw was an umpire admitting to something

2945
02:34:39,840 --> 02:34:43,280
Speaker 2: that he got right on the field. This is this

2946
02:34:43,320 --> 02:34:47,160
Speaker 2: is how insane these umpires are. Right, He's like, he

2947
02:34:47,160 --> 02:34:49,560
Speaker 2: he got the call right on the field. Why he

2948
02:34:49,600 --> 02:34:51,520
Speaker 2: would say he didn't? I have no idea why he

2949
02:34:51,560 --> 02:34:54,440
Speaker 2: would do that. Yeah, that's I go, what what are

2950
02:34:54,440 --> 02:34:56,440
Speaker 2: you talking about it? Do you give Joyce credit in

2951
02:34:56,440 --> 02:34:59,000
Speaker 2: that regard? And he has fest up to it and.

2952
02:34:58,760 --> 02:35:02,240
Speaker 9: He got a lot agree for him. Yeah, and him

2953
02:35:02,280 --> 02:35:04,720
Speaker 9: and but him and Galaraga made up on that. Like

2954
02:35:04,760 --> 02:35:06,879
Speaker 9: it can't bring that perfect game back, but it's at

2955
02:35:06,959 --> 02:35:08,880
Speaker 9: least nice to see that kind of forwardness, and I

2956
02:35:08,920 --> 02:35:10,640
Speaker 9: think that helps. At the end of the day. I

2957
02:35:10,640 --> 02:35:13,440
Speaker 9: don't like the attitude that you're not supposed to admit

2958
02:35:13,480 --> 02:35:17,240
Speaker 9: when you're wrong. My father does officiating for the USGA.

2959
02:35:17,440 --> 02:35:20,640
Speaker 9: It's like this, I don't think he has ever been

2960
02:35:20,640 --> 02:35:22,760
Speaker 9: of the mind of that that you're not supposed to

2961
02:35:22,800 --> 02:35:24,920
Speaker 9: admit you're you're never wrong.

2962
02:35:25,240 --> 02:35:26,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't. I don't get that. Can I just

2963
02:35:27,000 --> 02:35:29,400
Speaker 11: say real quick, I think replay is fine. I just

2964
02:35:29,440 --> 02:35:31,880
Speaker 11: don't think it should take longer than two minutes. There

2965
02:35:31,879 --> 02:35:34,360
Speaker 11: should be a two minute clock on the limit. Yes,

2966
02:35:35,000 --> 02:35:37,440
Speaker 11: and then if you can't, if you can't figure out

2967
02:35:37,480 --> 02:35:39,680
Speaker 11: in two minutes whether the call is good or not,

2968
02:35:39,879 --> 02:35:40,800
Speaker 11: then it doesn't need to.

2969
02:35:41,080 --> 02:35:42,800
Speaker 9: How many minor leagues are going to do these sky

2970
02:35:42,879 --> 02:35:47,640
Speaker 9: judges and replay booths and we see how awesome judge

2971
02:35:47,840 --> 02:35:50,600
Speaker 9: and var and vaar in Europe, like, we see that

2972
02:35:50,680 --> 02:35:53,720
Speaker 9: these things work and they go very quickly. But we're like, no,

2973
02:35:53,800 --> 02:35:55,120
Speaker 9: we can't do that here. We have to go under

2974
02:35:55,120 --> 02:35:57,280
Speaker 9: a hood or to go to the scorers table.

2975
02:35:57,360 --> 02:35:58,959
Speaker 2: We're on the I mean we could go all day.

2976
02:35:59,000 --> 02:36:01,080
Speaker 2: See I open this can warns wey g go all

2977
02:36:01,160 --> 02:36:03,800
Speaker 2: day MSI I had to bring up Armando Gallaraga and

2978
02:36:03,879 --> 02:36:06,360
Speaker 2: all hell breaks all right on the other side, we

2979
02:36:06,440 --> 02:36:09,120
Speaker 2: get you ready for the big selection Sunday. This is

2980
02:36:09,240 --> 02:36:14,080
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harvey, Rich Hornberger here Fox Sports

2981
02:36:14,080 --> 02:36:18,080
Speaker 2: Sunday Live from the tai Iraq dot Com studios. Want

2982
02:36:18,080 --> 02:36:22,560
Speaker 2: to thank Monsey and Bo and Chris. Our gang is

2983
02:36:22,600 --> 02:36:27,280
Speaker 2: here every single Sunday doing what we do best and

2984
02:36:28,320 --> 02:36:32,280
Speaker 2: celebrating Saint Patrick's day. Getting ready a little more than

2985
02:36:32,320 --> 02:36:35,080
Speaker 2: an hour away. The field is sixty eight. And by

2986
02:36:35,120 --> 02:36:39,400
Speaker 2: the way, Rich, we got a couple of coaches who

2987
02:36:39,440 --> 02:36:42,920
Speaker 2: are already in the Hall of Fame. It's the only

2988
02:36:43,000 --> 02:36:45,480
Speaker 2: sport where you don't you can be in the Hall

2989
02:36:45,520 --> 02:36:49,560
Speaker 2: of Fame as an active coach. And two coaches who

2990
02:36:50,560 --> 02:36:52,560
Speaker 2: have long been in the Hall of Fame are on

2991
02:36:52,600 --> 02:36:56,280
Speaker 2: the bubble right now. One of them is Rick Patino

2992
02:36:56,959 --> 02:37:00,240
Speaker 2: and Saint John's. This is the big comeback year for

2993
02:37:00,320 --> 02:37:03,160
Speaker 2: Rick Patino. Of course, he you know, completely got wiped

2994
02:37:03,160 --> 02:37:05,039
Speaker 2: out where he was at Louisville and had a four

2995
02:37:05,120 --> 02:37:08,720
Speaker 2: foot of national championship. That's ridiculous anyway, Saint John's on

2996
02:37:08,800 --> 02:37:12,520
Speaker 2: the bubble. But here's the big one. Tom Izzo and

2997
02:37:12,680 --> 02:37:16,520
Speaker 2: Michigan State. Tom Izzo and Michigan State had been in

2998
02:37:16,560 --> 02:37:21,240
Speaker 2: the tournament twenty five consecutive times. It's an all time record,

2999
02:37:21,600 --> 02:37:24,640
Speaker 2: and they are squarely on the bubble.

3000
02:37:25,840 --> 02:37:26,440
Speaker 1: Very close.

3001
02:37:26,760 --> 02:37:34,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, Michigan State, Saint John's Virginia very

3002
02:37:34,320 --> 02:37:38,200
Speaker 2: much a bubble team right now. Indiana State, you got

3003
02:37:38,200 --> 02:37:40,240
Speaker 2: a feel for man. They won twenty eight games, they

3004
02:37:40,240 --> 02:37:43,199
Speaker 2: won their conference, but lost in the tournament to Drake

3005
02:37:44,480 --> 02:37:49,840
Speaker 2: Seaton Halls. Another team Oklahoma Florida Atlantic, which course made

3006
02:37:49,840 --> 02:37:52,879
Speaker 2: the Final four last year, another bubble team. Now I

3007
02:37:52,920 --> 02:37:55,200
Speaker 2: don't have a horse on the race this year. It's

3008
02:37:55,320 --> 02:37:58,119
Speaker 2: very weird because normally I'm anxious to find out where

3009
02:37:58,120 --> 02:38:01,040
Speaker 2: my UCLA bruins are. What's the US with the Aztecs

3010
02:38:01,040 --> 02:38:04,359
Speaker 2: after losing to New Mexico in the Mountain West Conference

3011
02:38:04,400 --> 02:38:06,720
Speaker 2: championship game, because the way it looks, it looks like

3012
02:38:06,760 --> 02:38:08,840
Speaker 2: the Mountain West is going to get six schools.

3013
02:38:09,120 --> 02:38:09,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

3014
02:38:09,720 --> 02:38:12,959
Speaker 3: So Mountain West for anybody who hasn't been paying attention,

3015
02:38:13,160 --> 02:38:15,920
Speaker 3: because I get it, it's a mid major, and especially

3016
02:38:15,959 --> 02:38:18,520
Speaker 3: if you're on the East Coast, you're probably not paying

3017
02:38:18,680 --> 02:38:21,680
Speaker 3: that close of attention to teams like San Jose State

3018
02:38:22,080 --> 02:38:25,039
Speaker 3: and Fresno State and San Diego State, et.

3019
02:38:24,879 --> 02:38:25,640
Speaker 4: Cetera, et cetera.

3020
02:38:25,840 --> 02:38:30,959
Speaker 3: But the Mountain West was hyper competitive this year. You

3021
02:38:31,080 --> 02:38:35,520
Speaker 3: have potentially six teams as you mentioned, getting in San

3022
02:38:35,600 --> 02:38:40,160
Speaker 3: Diego State looking at maybe as high as a five seed.

3023
02:38:40,120 --> 02:38:43,680
Speaker 2: Probably a five after losing that conference championship game. But

3024
02:38:43,879 --> 02:38:45,920
Speaker 2: you know, if they can stay in the West though,

3025
02:38:46,240 --> 02:38:47,240
Speaker 2: that's a big part of it.

3026
02:38:47,400 --> 02:38:49,760
Speaker 4: So yeah, it would help, it would help. My guess

3027
02:38:49,840 --> 02:38:52,959
Speaker 4: is as a five though, they would be shipped off

3028
02:38:53,120 --> 02:38:55,959
Speaker 4: to well, they would stay in the West.

3029
02:38:55,800 --> 02:38:58,480
Speaker 1: Right, but maybe.

3030
02:38:57,440 --> 02:39:00,280
Speaker 4: Shipped off to Kansas or yeah.

3031
02:39:00,440 --> 02:39:03,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, the West Regional is at Crypto dot Com Arena

3032
02:39:03,320 --> 02:39:03,640
Speaker 2: this year.

3033
02:39:03,720 --> 02:39:05,039
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, the regional though.

3034
02:39:04,959 --> 02:39:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, regional.

3035
02:39:06,240 --> 02:39:11,519
Speaker 3: So when it's all said and done, is the Aztecs

3036
02:39:11,560 --> 02:39:14,760
Speaker 3: team this year as good as the national championship team

3037
02:39:14,920 --> 02:39:15,400
Speaker 3: last year?

3038
02:39:15,520 --> 02:39:17,800
Speaker 2: The answer is no, Well you mean the near national

3039
02:39:17,840 --> 02:39:19,560
Speaker 2: championship Oh sorry, Final fourteen?

3040
02:39:19,840 --> 02:39:25,040
Speaker 3: The final four team, the national champion contender, Yes, the

3041
02:39:25,200 --> 02:39:28,760
Speaker 3: second place team last year behind the Husky.

3042
02:39:28,840 --> 02:39:32,080
Speaker 2: By the way, I haven't been obviously there since they

3043
02:39:32,160 --> 02:39:34,720
Speaker 2: hung the band? Is that banner for you know, national

3044
02:39:34,800 --> 02:39:38,119
Speaker 2: runner ups? Like dwarf everything else than the arena of the.

3045
02:39:38,800 --> 02:39:42,160
Speaker 3: Same size, but I mean, obviously the most proud banner

3046
02:39:42,200 --> 02:39:45,800
Speaker 3: hanging from the rafters there. The difference this year over

3047
02:39:45,920 --> 02:39:49,039
Speaker 3: last year is perimeter shooting. So I mean, like we know,

3048
02:39:49,240 --> 02:39:52,480
Speaker 3: basketball has changed a lot, and this is speaking about

3049
02:39:52,520 --> 02:39:55,720
Speaker 3: basketball in general. If you can't chew from outside, you

3050
02:39:55,800 --> 02:39:58,039
Speaker 3: cannot win a national title.

3051
02:39:58,120 --> 02:39:58,800
Speaker 1: I got news for you.

3052
02:39:58,840 --> 02:40:00,440
Speaker 2: There aren't a lot of schools out there they can

3053
02:40:00,480 --> 02:40:01,760
Speaker 2: shoot from the outside.

3054
02:40:02,440 --> 02:40:03,400
Speaker 1: It's a lot about you.

3055
02:40:03,600 --> 02:40:08,280
Speaker 2: They need more Caitlin Clarks, like she can knock down shots. Yeah,

3056
02:40:08,320 --> 02:40:11,119
Speaker 2: so if you have more Caitlin Clark's out there, all right.

3057
02:40:11,160 --> 02:40:12,680
Speaker 2: So you got big plans for the rest of the

3058
02:40:12,760 --> 02:40:13,879
Speaker 2: Saint Patrick's Day.

3059
02:40:14,160 --> 02:40:18,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, buddy, we got a little corn beef and cabbage, potatoes,

3060
02:40:18,760 --> 02:40:20,000
Speaker 3: some carrots.

3061
02:40:19,760 --> 02:40:20,040
Speaker 4: All right.

3062
02:40:20,080 --> 02:40:22,480
Speaker 2: Well, enjoy everyone and just keep it right here on

3063
02:40:22,640 --> 02:40:23,760
