Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: It is a Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio. LaVar,
Speaker 2: Ben Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you filling in for
Speaker 2: Dan and the guys here on this Thursday morning, Brady
Speaker 2: LeVar found his AMMO. He was a little slow so
Speaker 2: far we've seen have we seen like nine millimeters shotguns?
Speaker 2: No blow dart yet he's currently pulling out. He's like,
Speaker 2: job moran, Now he just detonated a bomb. There's all
Speaker 2: sorts of stuff that does make me, what by have
Speaker 2: a rooting interest. I would like to see Memphis get
Speaker 2: into the postseason because hopefully John Morant is one hundred
Speaker 2: percent ready to go. Because man, when the playoffs hit,
Speaker 2: who knows what he's gonna pull out. I mean, he
Speaker 2: might go he might go well wow wow, like he
Speaker 2: might go musket, he might go none shucks. Like you
Speaker 2: never know what Jamran is is working with. It's going
Speaker 2: to have some violence connected to it though. That's that's
Speaker 2: There's going to be a casualty at the end of
Speaker 2: one of his celebrations. Sure will. Yeah. By the way,
Speaker 2: we were doing this show here live from the ti
Speaker 2: Raq dot Com studios ti rack dot com will help
Speaker 2: you get there, an unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
Speaker 2: road has a protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Speaker 2: Tiraq dot com the way tire buying should be. NFL
Speaker 2: Draft is coming up soon. Can't get here fast enough.
Speaker 2: With all the make belief stories that are out there.
Speaker 2: One guy who was, Yeah, just some of this stuff
Speaker 2: just sounds like garbage. Joe Shane, though, the general manager
Speaker 2: for the New York Giants, who seems to be having
Speaker 2: a much better offseason this year as opposed to last
Speaker 2: year when it was played out on hard knocks. But
Speaker 2: Joe Shane spoke with the media yesterday and not only
Speaker 2: talked about the quarterback position as they sit at number three,
Speaker 2: but also apparently they're getting some interest from other teams
Speaker 2: as well too when it comes to their pick.
Speaker 3: With the signing of those two players, I think we
Speaker 3: put our position ourselves in a position where you know,
Speaker 3: I don't think that's mandatory or something that we're our
Speaker 3: feet of the fire and we have to do. You know,
Speaker 3: I think the two guys we signed have played a
Speaker 3: lot of ball, They've got a lot of skins on
Speaker 3: the wall, and I do think we've upgraded that room,
Speaker 3: you know, compared to where it was a year ago.
Speaker 4: I like the two guys that we have.
Speaker 3: And you know, Tommy's still in there and he's won
Speaker 3: games for us too, and we're happy with the makeup
Speaker 3: of the room right now.
Speaker 5: We'll be open to all options.
Speaker 3: I mean those as strategy sessions have been ongoing and
Speaker 3: you know, talking through different scenarios. So yeah, well we're
Speaker 3: always going to be open to, you know, either or
Speaker 3: of those scenarios.
Speaker 6: A lot of interests around teams looking to train up.
Speaker 3: We received some calls.
Speaker 5: We receive calls, all right. Abdul Carter call.
Speaker 2: Abdul Carter is a three to one favorite to be
Speaker 2: selected number three overall to the Giants.
Speaker 7: So well, that doesn't mean he'll be selected by the Giants.
Speaker 7: It just means he's going to go number three overall.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I think what you said while Jonas was off that
Speaker 8: he can't respond to because he wasn't here to hear
Speaker 8: what you said, certainly, uh, certainly is more relevant and
Speaker 8: in today's conversation than it was yesterday.
Speaker 5: Boy.
Speaker 8: Professional co signing is always the best, especially when you
Speaker 8: have supporters, you know, the league. Then you get Q
Speaker 8: doing what he's doing with your You're just.
Speaker 7: Laughing at it because I didn't think he was going
Speaker 7: to go there. And if we really want to be honest,
Speaker 7: get out of the central Cubs really struggled h only
Speaker 7: one of two versus the podere.
Speaker 8: You know what, let me tell you something shown you
Speaker 8: worry about staying out away of those dolphin statues that
Speaker 8: you walk by that you see.
Speaker 2: All right, buddy, I'm married exactly.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, avoid avoid them breathing holes them blow the
Speaker 8: hole anyway. So the point I'm making here you asked
Speaker 8: the question on the show, Q, does this mean they're
Speaker 8: trying to drive up the value of Shador Sanders to
Speaker 8: entice a team to want want him at three where
Speaker 8: they can trade down because they could still possibly get
Speaker 8: the player that they would want without using that three pick.
Speaker 2: I think, if I sit it correct.
Speaker 5: I actually don't think I said any of them.
Speaker 2: Okay, well trade back at least right trade now.
Speaker 7: My thing was is there might be someone interested in
Speaker 7: Abdul Carter because they don't have a need for Abdull Carter.
Speaker 5: They've got On Thibeau, they've got Brian Burrce.
Speaker 7: So we want to trade back because we feel like
Speaker 7: we could still get a quarterback or get someone else
Speaker 7: and an exchange get more draft.
Speaker 8: Cap the Giants, that being the Giants in this situation, right, Okay,
Speaker 8: So I think that's more relevant now after hearing that
Speaker 8: explanation from the GM than it ever has been. Honestly,
Speaker 8: if I'm if I'm I'm being realistic, I'm calling Cap
Speaker 8: on some of this stuff that's coming Shador Sanders way,
Speaker 8: I'm calling Cap on that. I think people know his
Speaker 8: talent level. I think they know what he brings to
Speaker 8: the table, but in order to keep people off balance
Speaker 8: on what it is that you would really like to do,
Speaker 8: I think things like this happen sometimes, and it just
Speaker 8: happens to be a little bit more coverage towards Shador
Speaker 8: Sanders than what it would be maybe possibly for other
Speaker 8: prospects in years past. But as it applies to the
Speaker 8: New York Giants looking at that number three picky, if
Speaker 8: they had no other recourse, nobody wants to offer them
Speaker 8: what they want. They can't miss on this pick. They
Speaker 8: really can't miss on this pick. And I think it's
Speaker 8: just based upon the conversation that we had with Prisco,
Speaker 8: is that they're facing losing their jobs, whether it's the GM,
Speaker 8: whether it's the head coach, and whether they're able to
Speaker 8: save themselves or not, it still seems to be a
Speaker 8: pick that may give them some type of ammunition to
Speaker 8: be able to make maybe a legitimate argument that they
Speaker 8: should be able to retain their jobs and continue to
Speaker 8: build this team out. I don't know how realistic that is,
Speaker 8: but in listening to this, it might be way better
Speaker 8: for the New York Giants to trade out of that
Speaker 8: number three pick and hope that they can get more
Speaker 8: draft capital and still be able to get a player
Speaker 8: that they would really want with one of the high
Speaker 8: draft picks that they would swap out with with the
Speaker 8: team that would take that number three overall.
Speaker 2: Because if you got if we were looking at the
Speaker 2: top prospects and everyone says, well, it's Travis Hunter and
Speaker 2: Abdul Carter and you can swap either one of those,
Speaker 2: there's going to be a team who's going to look
Speaker 2: at the Giants if if the point is listen, they
Speaker 2: don't need abdul Carter, they've already got that position addressed.
Speaker 2: That's going to be willing to give up a significant
Speaker 2: amount for one of the top overall prospects in the draft.
Speaker 2: So if you're Joe Shane, the Giants like, why would
Speaker 2: you like, why would you take a quarterback? Why would
Speaker 2: you go If it's too high to take an Ashton
Speaker 2: gent team, maybe you could drop back and and and.
Speaker 8: But is it is it too high? I mean, didn't
Speaker 8: they take say Quon at number two? Yeah, but it
Speaker 8: was it was that hit. Clearly they weren't fans of his.
Speaker 8: Clearly they made a tremendous mistake, is what they did
Speaker 8: that the draft pick.
Speaker 7: Was doing different general manager right, that was David Gettleman.
Speaker 7: And then you had Joe Shander came in and you
Speaker 7: know he didn't prioritize paying that position the same way
Speaker 7: the Eagles did.
Speaker 2: I guess, well, that didn't look good. Doesn't look good.
Speaker 2: But it was a hit. The pick was a hit.
Speaker 2: So I don't think. I don't feel Ashton Genty should
Speaker 2: be talked about more.
Speaker 8: I just I've said it. I feel it. You know,
Speaker 8: I've talked about him the entire I've been talking about
Speaker 8: Ashton Genty for at least.
Speaker 2: Two or three years now, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8: I've been really committed to talking about how really talented
Speaker 8: this dude, is I've said to people, we haven't seen
Speaker 8: him back like this since you know, Barry Sanders and
Speaker 8: Eric Dickerson and the Pony Express and you know what,
Speaker 8: and now people want to get on the bandwagon with
Speaker 8: Ashton Genty.
Speaker 2: He's not being discussed.
Speaker 5: You say it enough, people will think it's true. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean that's what. That's the point.
Speaker 8: And now what I said, you could shoot it out
Speaker 8: there like you really meant it. Oh yeah, I'm shooting
Speaker 8: this like I really mean it. I mean, I didn't
Speaker 8: hear this from one Braden Quinn. I just I just
Speaker 8: figured that this is people are starting to catch on
Speaker 8: to Ashton Genty and I'm here to tell you seriously though,
Speaker 8: that isn't mine. I am a fan after seeing him play,
Speaker 8: and I do think that it would be interesting to
Speaker 8: see him go, you know, in top five picks top six,
Speaker 8: which is very realistic. I don't think he gets past
Speaker 8: Las Vegas. I don't. Now the question becomes who would
Speaker 8: want to make that trade with New York? Who do
Speaker 8: we think are the teams that have shown interest that
Speaker 8: would possibly want If it's Abdul Carter or if it's
Speaker 8: Travis Hunter, that happened to fall to number three. Who
Speaker 8: would those do we have beton nods on who those
Speaker 8: teams would be? No, but I've got you know, I've
Speaker 8: got one that can make some sense. Who go on,
Speaker 8: what do you got John's the Bears?
Speaker 2: Oh god, it does make sense now, because here's why?
Speaker 5: Is that? Because hold on?
Speaker 7: Is that because the new head coach made you know,
Speaker 7: not like DeAndre Swift quite as much?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I think, yeah, he doesn't appear to
Speaker 2: be a huge fan. But if it's a deep running
Speaker 2: back draft class and you think you could get a
Speaker 2: running back that could be quality at the next level
Speaker 2: later on, maybe the Bears called the Giants. I'm talking
Speaker 2: from the standpoint of Abdul Carter. Maybe they call up
Speaker 2: and say, you can take the tenth pick, and we've
Speaker 2: got the thirty ninth and the forty first pick as
Speaker 2: well too. I mean, those are three picks in the
Speaker 2: top forty plus. Why not if you're that interested or
Speaker 2: you believe that you need help. From a pass rushing standpoint,
Speaker 2: they haven't gotten great production from Montes Sweat, especially last year,
Speaker 2: and they gave him a whole bunch of money. You know,
Speaker 2: maybe they could hit up the Giants and be like,
Speaker 2: are you would you be willing to drop back to
Speaker 2: ten or is that too far to fall out to
Speaker 2: still get a quality player? That's what is it?
Speaker 8: What does it look like if you're in the top
Speaker 8: ten to trade a pick like say, for instance, the
Speaker 8: news surfacing on vverybel wanting TJ. Watt in New England,
Speaker 8: that means you want to edge rusher. And if you're
Speaker 8: trying to get a TJ. Watt at the type of
Speaker 8: dollar that you were trying to you're going to have
Speaker 8: to pay to get them. Would it make sense to
Speaker 8: try to swap out with swap out with New York
Speaker 8: at that at that four pick and get somebody else
Speaker 8: That way, you'd only drop one pick back and and
Speaker 8: then you get you know, you get the differences.
Speaker 7: The difference is about four hundred points, which would essentially
Speaker 7: be a second round pick.
Speaker 2: If you're looking at the traffic value chart.
Speaker 7: So that's typically what you would look at and say,
Speaker 7: it's about fair compensation to be able to move up
Speaker 7: or move back one pick.
Speaker 5: That's what you're looking for.
Speaker 8: So what that makes sense or not makes sense? If
Speaker 8: you're New England, does that make sense to ensure that like, say,
Speaker 8: for instance, there's another team that's like in I guess
Speaker 8: range that wants to try to slip into that third space.
Speaker 8: If Travis Hunter, or more specifically, in this particular moment,
Speaker 8: based upon New England showing interest in TJ Watt, would
Speaker 8: you try to get that number three pick so that
Speaker 8: somebody doesn't swipe it from you if it were to
Speaker 8: fall through with TJ Watt in trying to get this
Speaker 8: trade done. Possibly, I mean, it just seems like it
Speaker 8: would make sense. If I want a defense and the
Speaker 8: edge rusher of the caliber or TJ Watt, and there's
Speaker 8: somebody that could possibly trade up and take abdual Carter
Speaker 8: before we get them, maybe it's like, okay, let's swap
Speaker 8: this pick so we can make sure we.
Speaker 2: Get Abdul Carter at three? Does that make sense?
Speaker 5: When's yes? When was the last time you heard anything
Speaker 5: about vrabel?
Speaker 6: And?
Speaker 8: I think I read that yesterday? I'm if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 8: Do is that fake news? I believe I read that
Speaker 8: though that there was interest.
Speaker 7: I remember seeing a while back. I don't remember seeing
Speaker 7: it recently. I read it yesterday. Actually, that's that's why
Speaker 7: I even brought it up just now because I was.
Speaker 7: I saw a headline where it was like Vrabel is
Speaker 7: interested the New England Patriots are interested in possibly because
Speaker 7: I guess it doesn't seem like the negotiations are going
Speaker 7: well in Pittsburgh, doesn't. I mean, from what I read,
Speaker 7: it doesn't sound like it's maybe going to get done.
Speaker 2: This draft really needs something to happen. We need an advantage.
Speaker 5: Well, what does it need?
Speaker 2: I don't look, I don't condone this, I've never personally
Speaker 2: done it. But if we could get somebody, like a
Speaker 2: top pick to smoke weed a get out of a
Speaker 2: gas mask, I think it would help everybody in their house.
Speaker 2: It make it that much more interesting. There's not enough trades,
Speaker 2: there's not enough trade scenarios, there's not enough positive feedback
Speaker 2: on quarterbacks. So and so is moving uh soaring up
Speaker 2: the draft charts. Everything's just negative doom and gloom. If
Speaker 2: we could really put a smile on everybody's face and
Speaker 2: just get somebody to you know, hit the hippie lettice
Speaker 2: out of a gas mask on video, and that's anymore.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 2: Listen. It worked out well for him. He's made one
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars plus in his career. I don't even
Speaker 2: think he has an agent, Laromie Tonsel. I think he's
Speaker 2: represented himself for what is worth.
Speaker 5: I mean we went his weed guy helping him out.
Speaker 2: We had one of the most.
Speaker 8: Sadly, insanely bad happenings take place based upon the draft
Speaker 8: this year. I mean bad, super bad. I mean, that's polarizing,
Speaker 8: sad as hell that it happened. But I mean we
Speaker 8: did have something crazy that that is being talked about.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I was.
Speaker 2: I was kind of hoping we could, uh, you know.
Speaker 8: Not as deep as that, because that's super deep real,
Speaker 8: that's like all the ways submerged. Yeah, okay, I'm just saying,
Speaker 8: don't don't you gonna pick and choose where we're supposed
Speaker 8: to stop on the spectrum.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's just not a lot of I'm telling you, man,
Speaker 2: I've mentioned this before. Brady made the best point a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago when we talked about it on
Speaker 2: our show. This draft really has no buzz outside of
Speaker 2: and that's that's the thing is.
Speaker 7: It's one of the reasons why that Shador Sanders is
Speaker 7: getting so much buzz. I mean, he's a bit of
Speaker 7: a polarizing figure. But there's also the element of there's
Speaker 7: nothing really else around it. And outside of these three,
Speaker 7: I would say four prospects outside of Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter,
Speaker 7: Will Campbell, and Ashton Genty, if you're looking at like
Speaker 7: top overall prospects, there's a bit of a drop off.
Speaker 7: And even with Will Campbell, people have you know, questioned
Speaker 7: his arm length? I mean, outside of maybe Booker, for
Speaker 7: a lot of the tackles, the ear least guys who
Speaker 7: played tackle in college in this draft class, a lot
Speaker 7: of these guys might get moved inside.
Speaker 5: The guard because of arm length. I'm not sure why
Speaker 5: that is.
Speaker 7: I'm not sure if guys just popping out being three
Speaker 7: hundred plus pounds with short arms now, but something's happening.
Speaker 7: But anyway, the general point is there's just not as
Speaker 7: much buzz around it, surrounding it. I actually think the
Speaker 7: most fascinating thing to me, And I don't know why
Speaker 7: I didn't know this, and I'm a little disappointed in
Speaker 7: you two for not knowing this. Do you guys know
Speaker 7: that the LA rams never invite any of the top
Speaker 7: thirty prospects in for a visit.
Speaker 8: I don't know how you would be disappointed in me
Speaker 8: for not knowing that, and I don't.
Speaker 7: Because you guys are out in LA and you guys
Speaker 7: are a little bit of like the like, Hey, what's up, man,
Speaker 7: Let's go to Nobu over there in Melbu do our
Speaker 7: whole like trendy thing here in the West coast.
Speaker 5: What's up? Bro?
Speaker 7: But I learned this because the new general manager, James
Speaker 7: Gladstone with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who's you know him and
Speaker 7: you know the rest of the scouting staff. They've implemented
Speaker 7: the same exact strategies that the Rams would use. And
Speaker 7: the reason why they don't invite in prospects at least
Speaker 7: the top thirties because they don't want to tip their
Speaker 7: hand to any of their team what they're going to
Speaker 7: do in the first round. Now, they still are able
Speaker 7: to meet with the teams or may excuse me, the
Speaker 7: prospects via zoom. But that's all confidential, right. There's no
Speaker 7: one really is saying like who the Jacksonville Jaguars are
Speaker 7: zooming with. And when you do those visits, when you
Speaker 7: bring players in, your medical staff is going to take
Speaker 7: another look at them after the combine, for example. But
Speaker 7: the combine is a pretty thorough physical evaluation, so you
Speaker 7: don't really need much more unless there might be a
Speaker 7: medical checkup, which again the NFL is going to handle
Speaker 7: with the follow up checkup from the combine for those
Speaker 7: guys who are still injured. So they basically you go
Speaker 7: in on these visits, you meet some of the coaches,
Speaker 7: you sit down and talk more. They test you on something,
Speaker 7: you meet maybe some of the players other people who
Speaker 7: are out there, but that's really it. They can't work
Speaker 7: you out. So the strategy that they're implementing in Jacksonville,
Speaker 7: the same that they have with the Rams, is something
Speaker 7: that kind of fasts. It's me about this draft that
Speaker 7: I don't recall ever hearing about in regards to the Rams,
Speaker 7: Like I was not aware of that, and look, maybe
Speaker 7: it doesn't matter. I would feel like from the prospect perspective,
Speaker 7: not that you get a choice and who drafts you,
Speaker 7: but I would want to go see like the facility,
Speaker 7: I'd want to go meet some of the players. I'd
Speaker 7: want to go get a vibe for the locker room
Speaker 7: and the organization and getting a sense of all that. Right, Like,
Speaker 7: it's kind of weird that from the Jaguars perspective, it
Speaker 7: might be good for them at least in regards to
Speaker 7: how they see the first round maybe the top end
Speaker 7: of the second.
Speaker 2: But for the prospects, it doesn't help.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 7: I mean you're literally getting drafted, had shipped off to
Speaker 7: a place you've maybe never been to before. It's kind
Speaker 7: of crazy when you think about it.
Speaker 2: Maybe they think, if these guys see this place, they
Speaker 2: won't want to be here, so let's just keep it quiet,
Speaker 2: you know, like if they don't know how messy the
Speaker 2: situation is. And I think the RAMS isn't the RAMS
Speaker 2: stuff nice? Now?
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess.
Speaker 2: The Rams get most of their attention because they were
Speaker 2: doing that thing that member Cliff Kingsbury had that real
Speaker 2: nice house. Yeah, the Rams, I guess rent like some
Speaker 2: beach house to where they do is their Manhattan beach
Speaker 2: or whatever? I think. I think it was in Malibu,
Speaker 2: and I'm almost positive there was like a COVID outbreak
Speaker 2: one year and so they couldn't even like really partake
Speaker 2: in it. It was her Mosa Beachley at whatever Malibu,
Speaker 2: hermos so there's water nearby.
Speaker 7: I thought it was more of a South Bay, you know,
Speaker 7: like down were like lighter and Robstone and those boys
Speaker 7: are at South Bay Bros. I thought it was more
Speaker 7: of that area only because they had like a public
Speaker 7: area too, where there's like the.
Speaker 2: Fans were involved and they could bring through some Yeah.
Speaker 7: Which again, you you could do that in Jacksonville, like
Speaker 7: you could remember that lady you know.
Speaker 5: Oh they interviewed.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we we have that that lady.
Speaker 5: Uh, she should have this.
Speaker 2: iHeart Jacks fan. H Yeah, we're we're exorting. We're going
Speaker 2: to take it to the limit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, talked about her beach house that well it's not
Speaker 5: quite a beach house. It's well walk for the beach.
Speaker 2: But yeah, she she's a big, diehard Jags fan. We're
Speaker 2: efforting that. That sound by Uh So, let's see how
Speaker 2: we're working behind the scenes here, a little vamped, little vamp,
Speaker 2: little vamp Lee's working. Don't have it, dance Jonas. We
Speaker 2: got nothing being I'm being shook off. We've got nothing.
Speaker 2: I was calling for fast behind this and Lisha just
Speaker 2: just give me thirty seconds. I'll send it to him.
Speaker 2: They can turn this out. Well listen, all I know
Speaker 2: is this is somebody's got to do something to spice
Speaker 2: up this draft, all right, And and I don't know
Speaker 2: what it's going to take. I don't know if it's
Speaker 2: gonna be uh some sort of drama, some sort of
Speaker 2: you know, maybe a CD LAMB moment where you know,
Speaker 2: the girl he's sitting with tries to grab his phone
Speaker 2: and he rips it out of her hand because he
Speaker 2: looks check your text message says maybe maybe that wouldn't
Speaker 2: be a great thing to have happened here on national television.
Speaker 2: But we just need something here because there's just not
Speaker 2: a whole lot of interesting storylines heading into this. So
Speaker 2: Jacksonville not holding top thirty visits. I mean some would
Speaker 2: argue they're not a top thirty team.
Speaker 7: So I'm just saying, isn't it interesting, Like wouldn't you
Speaker 7: wouldn't you want to look at you know, some of
Speaker 7: those prospects like have them come into your facility, seale,
Speaker 7: they interact with players, maybe take them out to a meal,
Speaker 7: See how that, see how that goes. That's the process,
Speaker 7: Like a zoom interview is drastically different than what it's
Speaker 7: going to be like when you actually have to have
Speaker 7: them in your facility.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, listen to anybody who's been ahead a dating app
Speaker 2: knows that, like, you know what what they what they
Speaker 2: present the filters and everything, Oh, what they present to
Speaker 2: you and your best single long enough to have used
Speaker 2: dating apps?
Speaker 5: Yeah, said there was a case. It's a Jonas.
Speaker 2: There was a time really yeah, you know, and yeah,
Speaker 2: yeah are you sure about that? Positive? I go as, okay, yeah, positive,
Speaker 2: leave you where you're at, you know, positive, there was
Speaker 2: a time, but that you know, it's a long time ago.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you know. Somebody says, uh, oh, I saw
Speaker 2: a thumb go up? All right, Lee, what's the thumb
Speaker 2: up mean? What does that mean?
Speaker 5: On radio?
Speaker 2: We got her? All right. We got to say, we're
Speaker 2: going this is a Jags fan? Who last brush your
Speaker 2: teeth or last brush you tooth? In nineteen eighty eight?
Speaker 2: Who diehearts Jags fan? Let's let's take a listen.
Speaker 1: Furst picks. They say they have the best draft in
Speaker 1: the entire NFL. Are you surprised to hear that?
Speaker 6: Certainly not. The first year we took it to the
Speaker 6: limit and I was in Miami with my new beach house.
Speaker 6: Well it was a couple of minutes from the beach.
Speaker 1: It's been twenty years since then. We haven't been too
Speaker 1: strong in the last few years.
Speaker 6: Oh, we've been strong. We're just playing by the rules.
Speaker 6: You can't have a newcomer come in and steal a show.
Speaker 7: Thanks a man honestly sounded like a cigarettes Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 7: sounds like a.
Speaker 2: Yeah, white paper surgery. Just have a cart in Hurst.
Speaker 2: These as funny as hell, though I loved it. Well,
Speaker 2: you can't have someone new rules still the show.
Speaker 8: All right, Well, clearly this draft is not very interesting.
Speaker 8: There aren't very many interesting storyline.
Speaker 2: Yes, so you're saying that's why they don't have any
Speaker 2: Top thirty visits. They don't want to see her at
Speaker 2: the facility.
Speaker 5: I see.
Speaker 7: One of the PFF guys was saying on one of
Speaker 7: their podcasts, he would take arch Manning right now as
Speaker 7: the as he'd rather take him right now, and he's
Speaker 7: only played about hundred snaps and had a couple of starts.
Speaker 7: He would take him right now over any quarterback in
Speaker 7: this draft, which it sheds a little bit of light
Speaker 7: on the fact that the quarterbacks typically drive the interest
Speaker 7: in drafts.
Speaker 5: It's just the reality of it.
Speaker 7: And this year is not viewed, as you know, as
Speaker 7: deep of a draft class at the quarterback position. Next
Speaker 7: year will be an entirely different story. Next year will
Speaker 7: be a draft class that is gonna be set up
Speaker 7: with again probably four guys taking the first round, maybe
Speaker 7: five more similar to last year.
Speaker 5: And then it was this year.
Speaker 2: Well, listen, we can only hope, we can only hope
Speaker 2: we get something spicy. But until then, at least we
Speaker 2: got our Jackson. What would that be? Though? I don't know, Man, listen,
Speaker 2: night through it. Look, we've already had somebody do it,
Speaker 2: you know, gas mask whatever you want. That was Like,
Speaker 2: by the way, wasn't that gas mask before vapes? I
Speaker 2: think it was really ahead of his time if you

Speaker 2: Here we'll get into that story for you again. Here
Speaker 2: a little over fifteen minutes from now. LeVar Arrington. Congratulations, man,

Speaker 5: It's back.
Speaker 2: RFK Stadium is back.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 2: Reportedly, the commanders are close with the District of Columbia
Speaker 2: on a three billion dollars deal to build a new
Speaker 2: stadium at the site of RFK Stadium.
Speaker 5: It is back.
Speaker 2: I've been trying to tell you guys for years now.
Speaker 2: I've been saying, yeah, Kanks whatever, your FedEx field, whatever,
Speaker 2: that garbage. Enough enough, Brady, Brady, you guys got issues.
Speaker 8: Man, Can you finish your point about Are they going
Speaker 8: to name it r f K?
Speaker 2: I don't know, probably not, But what's the point of
Speaker 2: you bringing up r f K. I just want to
Speaker 2: let you know that the old site, okay, where the
Speaker 2: stadium was, come on cuz where they they had the
Speaker 2: old stadium is there. Man, Your your commandos are back.
Speaker 2: See you showed up there this past.
Speaker 8: Year, try to have a serious conversation, and they use
Speaker 8: commandos in there, So you're making.
Speaker 2: Fund the fact that you're you're using us.
Speaker 5: I didn't even realize we always use commandos.
Speaker 2: I didn't even get it.
Speaker 5: But serious or not.
Speaker 8: While they were owned by Snyder, they could have been commandos.
Speaker 8: But now that that they've changed in Harris and and they're.
Speaker 2: They're saying, you're saying, is that what you're saying.
Speaker 8: I'm saying, yes, less hard there, less hard e r it.
Speaker 5: No A no A.
Speaker 2: That's hard e r it.
Speaker 5: Now you can't say that. You can't tell us the
Speaker 5: hard e R.
Speaker 2: Yes, I want the herd. I want the hard I
Speaker 2: will not, I will never.
Speaker 8: I'm just saying I think that you guys should respect
Speaker 8: it enough to put on there.
Speaker 5: I bet Jonas when he gets cut off, you know,
Speaker 5: he might use.
Speaker 2: I didn't even realize I said commandos. I didn't.
Speaker 8: I didn't just I don't think it's such a I
Speaker 8: I think you just got Yeah, he's got he's got, he's.
Speaker 5: Got, I got it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a big difference between the A and the
Speaker 8: hard e R. But what do you mean and this
Speaker 8: scenario in particular, the hard e r is acceptable, is
Speaker 8: what I will say.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 2: My point was, yeah, what was your point? Good things
Speaker 2: have happened since you have shown up back at the
Speaker 2: stadium this past.
Speaker 8: I don't know why you're trying to make a point
Speaker 8: of emphasis because we lost that game. For one, then
Speaker 8: the fans are sitting there like you didn't even come
Speaker 8: for the Commanders. He came for Pittsburgh because that's where
Speaker 8: he's from.
Speaker 5: Bah blah.
Speaker 8: I'm like, come on, man. First of all, I did
Speaker 8: go back for the team. I wanted to meet the ownership.
Speaker 8: We had a great conversation. I wanted to go there
Speaker 8: because it was military appreciation. Obviously, people know my work
Speaker 8: with military and veterans and first responders, so I wanted
Speaker 8: to be there for that as well. I just you know,
Speaker 8: it all worked out that the game was against the Seilers,
Speaker 8: and I got to see my childhood team and I
Speaker 8: got to see the team that I played for when
Speaker 8: I was in the pros that I love, by the way,
Speaker 8: very much. Loved the community very much, and the fans.
Speaker 8: We had an amazing time during my time there, So
Speaker 8: I think they are going in the right direction.
Speaker 5: Did you go the game.
Speaker 7: I feel like there was something controversial that happened. Was
Speaker 7: that when the sewage was coming out of the pipes
Speaker 7: or is that when they did Sean Taylor.
Speaker 8: You guys are doing wait, this is this is like
Speaker 8: a second set up to come at me doing bits. No,
Speaker 8: they still the Redskins when the Seawan Taylor and the
Speaker 8: water sewage was coming out, I know they they were
Speaker 8: by then. Yes, yes, I did not know that. Very distracting,
Speaker 8: very very distracting. I'm serious, didn't.
Speaker 7: Didn't something like after that game or during that game
Speaker 7: happened that was like similar to that.
Speaker 5: I don't recall anything.
Speaker 2: The sewage leak at the stadium has happened a couple
Speaker 2: of times.
Speaker 5: I think that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 8: I don't recall there being a sewage leak while I
Speaker 8: was there that I experienced.
Speaker 2: Remember you were people were sitting and they were taking videos.
Speaker 2: I saw that video, but I don't think that was
Speaker 2: the game I was there. This is a bit. You
Speaker 2: guys are bitting me right.
Speaker 5: On you now, I will admit.
Speaker 2: This recorded about this. Huh, that's that's what happened there.
Speaker 7: Saying maybe maybe I kept it in my back pocket,
Speaker 7: thinking like, at some point we're going to bring it
Speaker 7: up and have fun with it, but I don't. And
Speaker 7: something happened around the time you went.
Speaker 5: To that game. Yeah, I don't know. I didn't see that.
Speaker 8: Can you look up the last time whatever the field
Speaker 8: to it came out. I don't know what it's called now.
Speaker 8: It used to be called, uh FedEx Field. It's not
Speaker 8: called FedEx anymore. I was just called it RFK Stadium.
Speaker 8: Well that's a different stadium though, it's a different, different,
Speaker 8: totally different location.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: Well, I was ahead of everybody because now they're back.
Speaker 8: Well, if they're going back, I think that's pretty cool
Speaker 8: to bring it back to the nation's capital.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 8: It would be interesting to find out, are they going
Speaker 8: to have a practice area connected to, you know, the
Speaker 8: stadium itself. Are you going to actually be able to
Speaker 8: live in the district of Columbia if you'd like to
Speaker 8: if you're playing for the team.
Speaker 2: I mean, I always thought it was like a.
Speaker 8: Really weird deal that you literally have to sit in
Speaker 8: an hour's worth of traffic to get to the game
Speaker 8: night game Eve hotel because you practice in Northern Virginia
Speaker 8: and then you go around the Beltway or you go
Speaker 8: through the district of Columbia and in order to get
Speaker 8: to Landover to play at FedEx Field. But you're named
Speaker 8: after the district, so there's nothing even connected really to
Speaker 8: the district. There's nothing there. It's just part of the name.
Speaker 8: But you live in Northern Virginia, that's not the district.
Speaker 8: And you play in Maryland, that's not the district, even
Speaker 8: though it's considered to be the DMV. I get it,
Speaker 8: but that's just that's weird to me. So if you
Speaker 8: were to centralize it back, like, for instance, where you
Speaker 8: when you played at an odre day because I've never been.
Speaker 8: Is your practice facility? How close is where you guys
Speaker 8: practice every day and where you you do your meetings
Speaker 8: and all those things. How close is that to the
Speaker 8: stadium that y'all play on Saturday.
Speaker 7: Uh, it's like three hundred yards.
Speaker 8: So you get to look at your stadium while you're
Speaker 8: you know, while you're practicing, you're breathing the same air
Speaker 8: that you're going to breathe when you play in that
Speaker 8: game on Saturday. It's like right there, you could walk
Speaker 8: to your stadium, right, That's how it should be. That
Speaker 8: to me, that's how it should be we never had
Speaker 8: a home We've never had a home field advantage people
Speaker 8: as a home field We've never had a home field advantage.
Speaker 8: Maryland weather isn't the same as Virginia weather. At times,
Speaker 8: you could have rain over here, it could be warmer
Speaker 8: over there, it could be vice versa. It's not the same.
Speaker 8: And you don't get that feeling of you're at home
Speaker 8: because it's a whole forty five fifty minutes away from
Speaker 8: where you live and where you practice. Imagine you got
Speaker 8: to do that. You play a Thursday night game, a
Speaker 8: Monday night game, a late game, and you get done,
Speaker 8: you still got to drive like forty five fifty minutes
Speaker 8: to get home. It's not a home field advantage. So anyway,
Speaker 8: if they were able to create a more centralized operation,
Speaker 8: you know where there's an experience for the fans, you know, restaurants,
Speaker 8: stuff like that, it's in the district. Like, I think
Speaker 8: the way the Nationals have it set up is pretty fly.
Speaker 8: I think it's pretty fly.
Speaker 2: All I was this week being at Peco Park in
Speaker 2: San Diego, which is a great park. Baseball stadiums and
Speaker 2: the design and the surroundings are so much better than
Speaker 2: NFL stadium it's not even close.
Speaker 8: I think it's I think they could take a lesson
Speaker 8: from that and do it. If they do it, do
Speaker 8: it the right way. Walking traffic they like. If I
Speaker 8: had the opportunity, I would have loved to have been
Speaker 8: a part of walking traffic, wrap my bike to work,
Speaker 8: walk walk the work, walk, walk home, have an opportunity
Speaker 8: to do other things that I can experience within the area,
Speaker 8: within the district. It's like you got to make it
Speaker 8: a point to try to travel around to do different
Speaker 8: things because you're nowhere near where you play. There's not
Speaker 8: or not at all. There's nothing at all in DC.
Speaker 8: So if they were to bring it back to RFK,
Speaker 8: I think it connects with the city on a different
Speaker 8: the different cities on a much different level.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 8: I think it would have a tremendously positive reception. I
Speaker 8: think it would be an amazing opportunity for the players
Speaker 8: that would play there. It would be certainly such a
Speaker 8: change in the environment. If they were able to create
Speaker 8: a more centralized approach to how they practice and how
Speaker 8: they do it on game day with that team.

Speaker 2: you guys have talked about this, We've talked about on
Speaker 2: our show, just the fanatical approach to college football as
Speaker 2: opposed to the NFL and Lee. Apparently somebody has really
Speaker 2: taken it to the limit when it comes to their
Speaker 2: fandom for their team.
Speaker 5: Is that correct?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah?
Speaker 4: Wild story out of East Tennessee that stretches all the
Speaker 4: way out to South Africa. In fact, there's a past
Speaker 4: year named Josh Sullivan who's been living in South Africa
Speaker 4: with his wife and children since twenty eighteen. Well, apparently
Speaker 4: last week he was taken at gunpoint and kidnapped one
Speaker 4: of his sermons. He was rescued late Tuesday night and
Speaker 4: a shootout that ended up killing three of his captors.
Speaker 4: Wild wild story, But he's he's safe now. But reportedly
Speaker 4: one of the first things he learned about after being
Speaker 4: rescued was this whole drama with Nico, and he's actually
Speaker 4: reportedly more upset about this whole story than his whole
Speaker 4: ordeal out there in South Africa.
Speaker 5: Let it go, Nico, how do you know this? How
Speaker 5: do you know this?
Speaker 4: This is this is reported. This was relayed to his
Speaker 4: fellow pastor who's still out here in Tennessee. His name
Speaker 4: is Tom Hatley and he's been in close connection with
Speaker 4: his fellow pastor, Josh Sullivan. Yeah, rescued. He was asked
Speaker 4: to talk about more lighted, heart hit things. He didn't
Speaker 4: want to talk too much about the ordeal he was
Speaker 4: going through. So they told him, hey, you've heard about Nico, right,
Speaker 4: and he's livid about the whole situation.
Speaker 2: I mean Tennessee fans, you know they didn't. It didn't
Speaker 2: take him long.
Speaker 8: To a Tennessee fans, boy, are very They are very
Speaker 8: passionate about defending themselves.
Speaker 5: And to love them.
Speaker 2: I love them so much. They make they make college
Speaker 2: football great.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 7: I'm telling you, you got to have passionate fans like that.
Speaker 7: The pastors definitely taken to another limit, but you've got
Speaker 7: to have that in sports, man.
Speaker 2: That's part of why they're called fans. They're fanatics.
Speaker 7: That they they live and and you know, breathe this
Speaker 7: stuff and live and die by it.
Speaker 5: So I love it. I love every every part of it.
Speaker 7: So even though they look Nico has probably gotten more
Speaker 7: flag than he's needed to, right, But that's what comes
Speaker 7: with sports man, especially now you're like pants of the
Speaker 7: kids too, and it feels a little bit more Okay.
Speaker 2: This is this feels like a healthy fandom though. You know,
Speaker 2: this is getting somebody past a traumatizing moment and now
Speaker 2: he just focuses on the football, gets his mind away
Speaker 2: from it.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 2: It's not like that, uh you know Harvey Updike who
Speaker 2: poisoned that tree, Harvey Updyke. Yeah, but they had to
Speaker 2: get rid of it too. Yeah, he killed that thing.
Speaker 2: Had they had to just dig it on out because
Speaker 2: somebody put a Cam Newton jersey on Bear Bryan's statue.
Speaker 2: They had to get even the guy killed the tree,
Speaker 2: he wouldn't. You gotta get even man like really because
Speaker 2: somebody put a Cam Newton jersey on Bear Bryan's statue.
Speaker 2: So he just living thing has to go now out
Speaker 2: of there.
Speaker 4: I accidentally salted one of my uh my patches of
Speaker 4: uh garden the other day what do you mean, Well, isn't.
Speaker 2: That what happened? Like he salted the earth and then.
Speaker 7: No, no, bro, salt, He like he put.
Speaker 2: Like like strick nine or something.
Speaker 8: He put some crazy type chemicals on that ground.
Speaker 2: Bro, Yeah, like.
Speaker 8: Crazy chemicals on on the ground that that that tree.
Speaker 2: What lead like salt out of like a salt shaker
Speaker 2: on a like a kitchen table.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember that salt I gifted you guys, uh, seasoning,
Speaker 4: and it's basically a bunch of salt, and I I
Speaker 4: the top came off, so I put it all into
Speaker 4: a bin and then I realized I kind of had
Speaker 4: to get rid of that, so I like watered it
Speaker 4: down and I threw it into the garden. I realized
Speaker 4: that was probably the bad idea to do that, so
Speaker 4: I basically salted the garden.
Speaker 2: Did you kill the plants?
Speaker 5: I don't know yet.
Speaker 1: This just happened.
Speaker 2: What plants were they?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 2: They's succulents, so it'd probably be all right. Could they
Speaker 2: have been a name that different? Different?
Speaker 8: I could have been a different plant, say cactus or something.
Speaker 1: They were cactus.
Speaker 2: Their circular that's what a succulent is, a tractus. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you think those you think those plants couldn't add a
Speaker 2: little salt. How many times have you blown chunks of
Speaker 2: those plants? Coming home late?
Speaker 8: Say cactus bro, don't don't say succulent. Please steal us
Speaker 8: all a favor.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 2: A succulent ah
Speaker 5: Allie le allily
