Speaker 1: M The Around the NFL Podcast has it's swagger back.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansis, and I am joined by
Speaker 1: a room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and
Speaker 1: Gregg Roshal. What's up boys? Hey Dan? Getting the band
Speaker 1: back together? Ah much thanks to Connie Fox and Petrick Claiban.
Speaker 1: We're sitting in well. Mark and I were at our
Speaker 1: private retreat in the mountains. It's nice to see one
Speaker 1: of the world's great romances, you know, living life again.
Speaker 1: We are well. We actually didn't stay in a cabin together.
Speaker 1: We did you even see each other? Yeah? I didn't
Speaker 1: see Dan for more than one second all weekend. So
Speaker 1: but I met you and Simone you know who are
Speaker 1: Who's having a birthday? The romances back on track? Did
Speaker 1: you say what you're suggesting that? It was not only track?
Speaker 1: Greg very awkward in social settings at times. This is
Speaker 1: what we're talking When you said you don't know what
Speaker 1: we're talking about, that's kind of I would say, I'm comfortable.
Speaker 1: I just make other people feel awkward. I think you
Speaker 1: do a fine job in the post softball setting. That's good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're two and our softball team, by the way, another
Speaker 1: thumping of UM, a middling unit. So I I'm very happy.
Speaker 1: It's about the start of the season for the Shield,
Speaker 1: UM and that's something to be excited about. Mark. We'd
Speaker 1: love to get you at a game. I definitely when
Speaker 1: is the next game we are playing? I believe a
Speaker 1: week from Thursday. We're on the rare double by, which
Speaker 1: could hurt our momentum a little bit, but you know,
Speaker 1: nothing to get too upset about. Recharge the batteries. I
Speaker 1: will be there. Good exc This is the around the
Speaker 1: NFL podcuest driven by Honi and today's show UH is
Speaker 1: an important one because we are less than damn it.
Speaker 1: I wanted to say less than twenty four hours away
Speaker 1: from the draft. That is not accurate, so I have
Speaker 1: to say something less sexy, like we are less than
Speaker 1: thirty one hours away from the two thousand and seventeen
Speaker 1: NFL Draft in Philadelphia, an event that will be held
Speaker 1: west outside. I take my duties as host very um seriously,
Speaker 1: and I did want to try to get a Philadelphia
Speaker 1: area meteorologist on the show, UH, So I reached out
Speaker 1: to Connie Fox, who, strangely didn't get back to me.
Speaker 1: A little bit odd. She's in Philadelphia right now. Reached
Speaker 1: out to John Gonzalez, who also, uh, he did get
Speaker 1: back to me. John Roll Gonzoles born March seven is
Speaker 1: American sportswriter who was married to NFL media broadcaster Colleen Wolf. John,
Speaker 1: who's The Pisces, resides in Los Angeles with his wife
Speaker 1: and two dogs. Uh. John did not know, and it
Speaker 1: had one friend but took a job recently in d C.
Speaker 1: Uh So no, no weather person uh to come on
Speaker 1: the show. So we have no idea. And in a
Speaker 1: way it's more exciting. Yeah, that's the way to go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the weather man is never wrong, So why do we
Speaker 1: want to know that information? We want to be flying
Speaker 1: blind blind, flying blind on this one. Very exciting. But anyway,
Speaker 1: the draft is tomorrow, so you know we're gonna do
Speaker 1: you know what it is? Don't get my lunch the
Speaker 1: NFL draft addition, and don't you me so phone ears,
Speaker 1: don't you dare come at me? Or what's coming? Said?
Speaker 1: The orange? You don't want the orange. You don't want it.
Speaker 1: The sound of someone eating an orange is especially bad.
Speaker 1: It is not pleasant. Don't want it because the banana
Speaker 1: was bad. Oh, the banana was real bad. But the
Speaker 1: orange can make ears bleed. That's all I'm saying. Send me,
Speaker 1: Why dare you send me one tweet? One? Are you?
Speaker 1: Son of send me one tweet before Thursday show? And
Speaker 1: you're getting the orange when I mean I'm in their court.
Speaker 1: I cannot stand this. Uh sounds of people chewing various
Speaker 1: foods and you take particular that right there, You take
Speaker 1: particular joy in it. And it is a torture to sign.
Speaker 1: I feel like eating a banana should be soundless, is it, though, Sydney?
Speaker 1: Is it? There's some sucking and some lip smacking, and
Speaker 1: he's terrible anyway, So we will do our are props
Speaker 1: are sandwich props, whereby we each make predictions for the draft.
Speaker 1: We go around the room a few times, and then
Speaker 1: we tracked the those predictions with the help, of course,
Speaker 1: of the great Nick Fourtier for Tier for tier? Does
Speaker 1: that ever? Do we know for sure? He confirmed to
Speaker 1: me that it's Nick Fourtier. Oh, Nick Fourtier, kind of
Speaker 1: like Phil Plantier, remember him? Great? Oh yeah, great batting
Speaker 1: stance on that left handed slugger of the Red Sex
Speaker 1: and all time batting stands. Bill plant here. But anyway,
Speaker 1: Nick four tier a go get my lunch dot org
Speaker 1: tracks all all the standings for our predictions. So we
Speaker 1: will make some for the draft. Very exciting. But before
Speaker 1: we do that, we're gonna hit the news. Uh so,
Speaker 1: I don't know, let's do it. Said, before the battle
Speaker 1: can be one on the field, the war must be
Speaker 1: one on Draft days. Got about ten hours. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do what's best for the team. That of course, the
Speaker 1: one of Mark Sessa's favorite films of all time, Draft Day,
Speaker 1: starring Costner. And they just put up some clips if
Speaker 1: you're if you're curious about the movie, they just put
Speaker 1: up some clips on YouTube. Um, various clips from that
Speaker 1: that film. They just put them up. Yeah, it's you
Speaker 1: know that movie clips dot com or something and they
Speaker 1: they they actually that's part of their job. They take
Speaker 1: different parts from movies and then just throw it up
Speaker 1: on YouTube. If you if you're a Draft Day fan
Speaker 1: and Mark I know you are, go there and relive
Speaker 1: one of the great uh conquests of the Cleveland Browns history.
Speaker 1: They're fake two thousand fourteen Draft with Kevin Costner's GM. Well,
Speaker 1: this is a tired bit. I don't think about this
Speaker 1: movie at all, and it's brought me nothing but um
Speaker 1: agitation from the three of you and others. Well, if
Speaker 1: you want to relive how excited you were at the time,
Speaker 1: you can just google, like I just did right now,
Speaker 1: Draft Day Movie Mark Sessler review and you actually find
Speaker 1: the official Draft Day Movie account which includes the review
Speaker 1: from Mark Sessler. Delivers on the Draft Day movie, delivers
Speaker 1: on the great tension of the NFL Draft while showing
Speaker 1: how human the entire prod This is full of heart
Speaker 1: from as I told you, as I told you, full
Speaker 1: of hot from stock to finish of the NFL Draft
Speaker 1: while showing how human the entire process is. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you what, As I mentioned, I had multiple classes
Speaker 1: of wine in me when I texted that that review,
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to take it back. I did
Speaker 1: write it. I should not have ever done that, obviously,
Speaker 1: But Greg and Dan have now put themselves into a
Speaker 1: special little bucket, and it's called the revenge bucket. And
Speaker 1: it's going to be an incredible practical joke that I
Speaker 1: will that I will and act on the two of you.
Speaker 1: But you will never know that it came from me,
Speaker 1: and it will not happen in the next fifteen to
Speaker 1: twenty hours. Where Oh, that's a call back to the
Speaker 1: podcast when I took Mark to town on a movie
Speaker 1: review did three and a half years ago. No, it
Speaker 1: may come eight months from now, eight teen years from now,
Speaker 1: but it will be severe, really West, how long as
Speaker 1: West doesn't slip up, only West survives. I already he
Speaker 1: was quoting you as well. I don't know how West
Speaker 1: got away. West came out of the theater calling it
Speaker 1: a solid bee if I don't, I do not distance
Speaker 1: myself from that movie at all. I think it's underrated. No,
Speaker 1: and I like because Dan and Mark actually wrote a
Speaker 1: little known fact a review of the movie on the website,
Speaker 1: and that came right. I forgot about that fact. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that came up when I just googled it too. And
Speaker 1: it is funny how toned down it is in that
Speaker 1: it's solid football, fair for fans in need of a fix.
Speaker 1: So that's a little more tempered. Because I was a
Speaker 1: by line, I was bringing it down a little bit,
Speaker 1: Mark was pumping up. That's because there had already been occurrences,
Speaker 1: I believe on our website as like a background splash
Speaker 1: page where Dan HELLI also got pulled into this he
Speaker 1: and I had our quotes on the back of every
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com article, and I thought, I will never
Speaker 1: allow this to happen in my life ever again. Remember
Speaker 1: Mark's last revenge bucket? No, what was it? We were
Speaker 1: all turned into cat lovers on Instagram? Oh yeah, that
Speaker 1: was good though. That still that will not have the
Speaker 1: feel good or of that right that that's still my
Speaker 1: profile picture on Twitter. All right, let's let's do some
Speaker 1: news and we will start with, Oh my god, Adrian
Speaker 1: Peterson got a job. Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations buddy. The
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints and Uh, the veteran running back finalized
Speaker 1: a two year deal that will pay Peterson seven million.
Speaker 1: The deal included three and a half million guaranteed in TV,
Speaker 1: and it's worth up to eight point to five million
Speaker 1: with incentives and escalators. Uh. This puts uh Peterson in
Speaker 1: a backfield with Mark Ingram, which on paper, Uh, Greg
Speaker 1: looks like you do some damage. Do you like the move?
Speaker 1: I do. I think it makes sense for the Saints
Speaker 1: to add another offensive weapon. They're a team that likes
Speaker 1: to have multiple running backs. Their backfield, despite Ingram being there,
Speaker 1: was very thin until this move, so that I think
Speaker 1: they were gonna add someone in the draft or in
Speaker 1: free agency, And to me, you're gonna get a motivated
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. And I'm not too worried about who gets
Speaker 1: the snaps, who gets the you know, who gets the carries.
Speaker 1: I think there's plenty to go around with for Ingram
Speaker 1: and Peterson, and that this is a team where he
Speaker 1: fits pretty well. They don't use the shotgun very much
Speaker 1: among the bottom teams in the entire NFL in terms
Speaker 1: of using the shotgun, and I trust John Payton in
Speaker 1: terms of how he's gonna use different offensive weapons, including Peterson.
Speaker 1: I think everybody's reading this situation wrong, and I think
Speaker 1: the NFL is reading Adrian Peterson wrong. He should be
Speaker 1: the favorite for comeback Player of the Year honors. He's
Speaker 1: a freakish athlete. He can't be compared to any other
Speaker 1: thirty two year old running back we've seen this century.
Speaker 1: He's better than them. He's more physically gifted than them.
Speaker 1: He's an exceptional talent. And and I don't this idea
Speaker 1: that he's Tim high Tower. Give me a break. Tim
Speaker 1: high Tower coming off a half a decade out of
Speaker 1: the game and had to bust his but just to
Speaker 1: make the team. Peterson got a two point five million
Speaker 1: dollar signing bonus. He's not going to be the backup
Speaker 1: to Mark Ingram. It's not well, that's just not true.
Speaker 1: Those I mean, I think it doesn't matter who's backup
Speaker 1: who started. They're gonna split it, so they're gonna both
Speaker 1: be factors. Peterson will likely not be on the field
Speaker 1: as much on passing down but Ingram's never played more
Speaker 1: than five fifty snaps in his life anyways. The pain
Speaker 1: the Saints were at their best when they had four
Speaker 1: guys in their backfield Pierre Thomas, Chris Ivory. Uh, you
Speaker 1: know who am I thinking about back then? Darren Sprawls
Speaker 1: he here. You know, they would go three or four deep,
Speaker 1: and I think that's what they'll do. I think it's
Speaker 1: one of the more interesting landing spots. And it's they
Speaker 1: play the Vikings, which is which is fantastic for me.
Speaker 1: It's like, I want to just make sure that Adrian Peterson,
Speaker 1: who seems totally motivated as a as a football player
Speaker 1: from wire to wire, that at this situation they all
Speaker 1: talk about there's a clear role, there's gonna be. It's
Speaker 1: great for the Saints, but weeks, eight weeks, nine weeks in.
Speaker 1: If Adrian Peterson isn't happy with his role, if there's
Speaker 1: issues with mark Ingram not being happy with the role,
Speaker 1: what happens there, Maybe it works out fine for me.
Speaker 1: It's a why not if you can get Adrian Peterson,
Speaker 1: he came out of at a at a pretty low cost.
Speaker 1: You're the Saints, You've you've basically been a nonentity in
Speaker 1: the playoff picture for too many years at this point,
Speaker 1: go for it. Why not? It is amazing again how
Speaker 1: tough it is to be running back around thirty years
Speaker 1: of age and Peterson's thirty two. Um, this is a
Speaker 1: guy who's a legendary player, and he is earning three
Speaker 1: and a half million average salary this season, putting him
Speaker 1: behind the likes of Frank Gore no disrespect, Greg Theo,
Speaker 1: Ritic blal Pal, Ryan Matthews, they'll make less than mark Ingram. So, basically,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, despite the fact that
Speaker 1: he has this legendary resume, despite the fact that he's
Speaker 1: already shown once that he can defy the odds when
Speaker 1: he came back from that knee injury and ran for
Speaker 1: two thousand yards, he had to settle for journeyman type money. Uh,
Speaker 1: and that could be an incentive for him as well.
Speaker 1: I would think in his statement, I think it was
Speaker 1: telling that he was explained that he was going to
Speaker 1: have a role. He's not expecting to dominate carries. I'm
Speaker 1: sure he wants to beat out mark Ingram because he's
Speaker 1: a competitor. But Ian Rappaport NFL Network Insider, you have
Speaker 1: pointed out it was very purposeful that he's making two
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars less than Ingram. They didn't want to
Speaker 1: upset Ingram. They said, if you're coming in, you're gonna
Speaker 1: come in below Ingram, who's been there for six years
Speaker 1: and has been our guy essentially in terms of between
Speaker 1: the tackles. Runner and Peterson accepted that he signed the contract,
Speaker 1: but he did now I want to see how where
Speaker 1: we are in November with that. That's all. He also said,
Speaker 1: I could tell Sean Payton did his due diligence on
Speaker 1: how I could contribute, and there's no way you will
Speaker 1: never convince me that Adrian Peterson signed on with Sean
Speaker 1: Payton and telling him you're going to be mark Ingram's
Speaker 1: back up. I totally agree with that. I just told him,
Speaker 1: look the best, because this is how all backfields in
Speaker 1: the NFL work week to week. If you're running well,
Speaker 1: you're gonna play. And Adrian Peterson is confident enough they
Speaker 1: have Corse. He looks at mark Ingram and says, I'm
Speaker 1: more talented than him. I'm going to play, but Traveris
Speaker 1: Cadet will wind up getting a hundred snaps. There's only
Speaker 1: eleven hundred snaps all year. They're gonna play mark Ingram,
Speaker 1: and I think it's a great addition for a team
Speaker 1: that has a lot of weapons. They have a chance.
Speaker 1: I know we make fun of the Saints defense and
Speaker 1: they're seven and nine every single year. But if they
Speaker 1: can just be somewhat close to the middle of the
Speaker 1: pack on defense. They have a great young group of
Speaker 1: receivers as as good as they've had really, uh since
Speaker 1: they were in the Super Bowl, maybe even better than then,
Speaker 1: and they still have an effective quarterback. They got a chance.
Speaker 1: And it also opens up the fact that you they
Speaker 1: were better last year, you have your backfield wrapped up.
Speaker 1: They want to go defense heavy in the draft that
Speaker 1: they have to be better. They were better last year.
Speaker 1: They just have to be even better than what they're doing.
Speaker 1: What the Cowboys do, run the ball, hydro defense. Adrian
Speaker 1: Peterson signed and now Marshall and Lynch looks like this
Speaker 1: is squared away as well. He should become an official
Speaker 1: member of the Oakland Raiders. On Wednesday, Lynch's representatives and
Speaker 1: the Raiders have agreed two terms on a contract and
Speaker 1: the team has hashed out the details of a trade
Speaker 1: for Lynch's rights with the Seahawks. Multiple sources and firm
Speaker 1: the negotiations. According to Mike Garfolo and Ian Rappaport, the
Speaker 1: draft compensation will be a swap of late round picks
Speaker 1: and Seattle gets Oakland's fifth round pick in exchange for
Speaker 1: Seattle's sixth round pick. According to a source, uh and
Speaker 1: now uh. The only thing left is for the five
Speaker 1: time Pro Bowl back to take a physical with the
Speaker 1: Raiders and if that checks out this saga mark is
Speaker 1: in the books and Marshawn Lynch joins the Raiders and
Speaker 1: an offense that has a chance to be the a
Speaker 1: f c's best. Yes, it does. I think I think
Speaker 1: it boils down to this elongated saga when this gets going.
Speaker 1: What kind of player is Marshawn Lynch. I'm of the
Speaker 1: mindset that you know, we know who he is. The break,
Speaker 1: the year long break probably got his body back in shape.
Speaker 1: He has a chance, you like in the last situation
Speaker 1: with Adrian Peterson, they have other good running backs. I
Speaker 1: like Jyleen Rochard, But if he's going to be the
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch of old, he's going to have a carved
Speaker 1: out big role in that offense. It just as a
Speaker 1: matter of how Durably is where he is physically. He
Speaker 1: he didn't look quite the same as last full season.
Speaker 1: He wasn't healthy. He's gonna be running behind a much
Speaker 1: better offensive line. But if I had to choose which
Speaker 1: of these two running backs, I feel more confident it
Speaker 1: would be Adrian Peterson. But yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 1: we have to choose one or the other. I feel
Speaker 1: like they'll both exceed expectations because expectations for thirty ye
Speaker 1: old running backs are so low, and both guys have
Speaker 1: fresh legs. Both guys should be on top five NFL offenses.
Speaker 1: Which is kind of interesting that everybody poo poo's the
Speaker 1: idea of power backs in two thousand seventeen, especially aging
Speaker 1: power backs, and two of the best offenses want them.
Speaker 1: I think that Lynch, to me, is the bigger risk
Speaker 1: in terms of bringing him on board to an offense
Speaker 1: and hoping that he becomes an important part of it,
Speaker 1: just because he was out of football for a year
Speaker 1: the last time he saw him, he wasn't at his best.
Speaker 1: He is. Let's be honest here, I mean, this is
Speaker 1: a guy he's gonna be playing in Oakland. There could
Speaker 1: be some distractions for him, a guy that that is
Speaker 1: tied in so tightly with that community. You don't know,
Speaker 1: uh if Marshall and Lynch is gonna be the same
Speaker 1: focus type of professional athlete he was when we last
Speaker 1: saw him. So I think there is some risk there,
Speaker 1: Whereas Peterson to me seems like a guy that has
Speaker 1: uh you have less to worry about him. But Peterson
Speaker 1: was essentially out of football last year too with another
Speaker 1: major injury. I mean, it's it's fair there are risks
Speaker 1: with both. But I think we were a lot we
Speaker 1: would we see these as reliable players who aren't coming
Speaker 1: back to make money, and it's they're coming back to
Speaker 1: make a statement and we get to watch him. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's gonna they're gonna make them more entertaining when they're
Speaker 1: on uh TV. By the time people listen to this,
Speaker 1: Lynch will probably have passed his physical and this news
Speaker 1: will be official. And he did send out a tweet
Speaker 1: while we were up here, UH basically confirmed it, saying, yes,
Speaker 1: Lord man, I'm thankful, but I just got real. I
Speaker 1: had hell of fun in Seattle. But I'm really really
Speaker 1: I'm really from Oakland ough like really really really from
Speaker 1: Oakland O town business. Breath on me. Can someone decipher
Speaker 1: that and translate it to me in English? Oh? I
Speaker 1: think he's excited. I think I'm It says I'm excited
Speaker 1: to play for my hometown Raiders. We like these Raiders
Speaker 1: this year. Is that right? Well, he's thanking God and
Speaker 1: also the twelfth Man, which is the Seattle something called
Speaker 1: a Lord a w D. That's Jesus. And then he says, uh,
Speaker 1: this all this speculation, will it or won't? Won't it happen? Oh? No,
Speaker 1: there's something about happy email deer in here twice and
Speaker 1: West I'm trying to I'm trying to give you the
Speaker 1: information you asked for. But despite my love of playing
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks, I am an Oakland guy. That's where
Speaker 1: I'm from. Those are my people, and I'm really excited
Speaker 1: to represent my city. This is about Oakland and about
Speaker 1: me and joining back up with the Oakland people. What
Speaker 1: about the last line, which is a purposeful misspelling of
Speaker 1: business breath. I don't that want town business breath on me?
Speaker 1: That one. I'm not with you. I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: not cool to spell correctly. That's what I can add
Speaker 1: to this next one. For white guys, we discussed the
Speaker 1: social implication of the new Kendrick Lamar album. I don't
Speaker 1: know why, like wanting grammar to be correct or wanting
Speaker 1: communication to be correct has to be a white guy.
Speaker 1: This is on West's right. And is it like you
Speaker 1: need street cred just to say things in a certain way.
Speaker 1: Just you use the communication correctly, please, so we can
Speaker 1: tell what you're saying. Mark, Well, the language is always shifting.
Speaker 1: The people that were thirty years older than us laughed
Speaker 1: at the way that we communicated and how we did it.
Speaker 1: And even in our newsroom the language is shifted in
Speaker 1: the last five six years we've been there drastically. So
Speaker 1: I just see it as more of that Look, say
Speaker 1: what you want, but there's a way to run. Language
Speaker 1: is shifting. One way for speaking in an other way.
Speaker 1: For writing, you have to be able to communicate I'm
Speaker 1: with you, I just see you, and I is like
Speaker 1: standing there is this tidal wave of iss like basically
Speaker 1: swallowing us up, and we're you know that missive is
Speaker 1: quiet and going away. Let's just move on. Martavis Brian
Speaker 1: is conditionally reinstated by the NFL the team. That team
Speaker 1: being the Pittsburgh Steelers, announced Tuesday Bryant missed the entirety
Speaker 1: of the season for multiple violations of the league's Policy
Speaker 1: against the Substances of abuse. UM, Bryan is going to obviously,
Speaker 1: you have to walk the straight and narrow uh path
Speaker 1: here to to stay off of the league's the league's radar.
Speaker 1: Uh and uh. But if he if, if he does that,
Speaker 1: and if he gets back the trust of Ben Roethlisberger,
Speaker 1: who seemed very miffed about the way things played out
Speaker 1: last year. UM, West, the Steelers and we're just talking
Speaker 1: about the Raiders could have the best offense. The Steelers,
Speaker 1: My goodness, this offense could be close, unstoppable. Well, spoil alert.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a post draft banger on the best
Speaker 1: offenses in the NFL. The three teams we've talked about
Speaker 1: so far, we'll all be in the top five, the Saints,
Speaker 1: the Raiders, and the Steelers. If you compare the Raiders
Speaker 1: everyone's talking about them to the Steelers. I take the
Speaker 1: Steelers at every position, every position. I bet the Patriots
Speaker 1: are in that top five too, Yes, they will be.
Speaker 1: I think this is a potentially every every position, even
Speaker 1: the offensive line, even the offensive line. I would take
Speaker 1: the Steelers at every position. And we saw in two
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen at the second half of the season, especially
Speaker 1: when the Steelers were doing amazing things, Antonio Brown and
Speaker 1: Martevis Bryant were the best by far receiving duo in
Speaker 1: the NFL. I think this is potentially a bigger deal
Speaker 1: than the last two players we just talked about. He's
Speaker 1: not a bigger name. More people don't know about Martevis Bryant,
Speaker 1: but him plugging him back into Pittsburgh's offense could do
Speaker 1: more than it than Lynch or Adrian Peterson either of
Speaker 1: those two other teams. I said on Twitter, I think
Speaker 1: this was you know, that could be the biggest offseason
Speaker 1: edition any any team made. Then James Palmer, you know,
Speaker 1: pointed out what about J. J. Watt and I thought,
Speaker 1: all right, James Palmer on offense, you know you do
Speaker 1: a great job. You do a great job covering all
Speaker 1: the teams. You're you've got great hair. Why do you
Speaker 1: got to poke holes immediately in my point with a
Speaker 1: better point, because I guess J. J. Watt would be
Speaker 1: would be technically something going on with you and James Palmer.
Speaker 1: Twitter is about interaction and debate. It's not a I'm
Speaker 1: in a silo. My opinion just beams out over. He
Speaker 1: made a fair he made a fair point. J. J.
Speaker 1: Watt is great, but Brian seems angry. That's that's the
Speaker 1: only thing. It's like, if he made a good point,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't it just be like, oh, good point. J P.
Speaker 1: Let's move on with our day. Well, it's a bit plus.
Speaker 1: This guy, he's got enough. He's got enough going on
Speaker 1: in his life. You know, great, great at his job.
Speaker 1: He was called the brother with the great hair by
Speaker 1: Willie mcguinnis on live air, which you know everyone wants.
Speaker 1: He has great hair. It feels like um sort of
Speaker 1: action figuring military hair like it's perfect. It's absolutely perfect.
Speaker 1: Got you with that. That's a good, good description. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna all right, Harrispec's hair. The only thing I'll say
Speaker 1: about James's hair. The only thing I'm gonna say about it.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit too perfect. Mm hm, musted up
Speaker 1: a little bit. I'm sure he does. Out of them
Speaker 1: town on a Saturday night. More suspension talk. Daryl Washington,
Speaker 1: Remember that guy? I barely do. But the NFL on
Speaker 1: Tuesday notified the Cardinals linebacker that he has been reinstated
Speaker 1: on a conditional basis. Washington has been uh suspended without
Speaker 1: pay since May of yes, folks, almost three years for
Speaker 1: violating the league's policy and program for substances of abuse.
Speaker 1: His band was tied to marijuana um which, if it
Speaker 1: was just weed, the guy was out of football for
Speaker 1: three years of smoking weed. He did a lot of
Speaker 1: other other problems. There were other Yes, he had some incidence.
Speaker 1: He had some incidence off field incidents. Has been off
Speaker 1: my radar for a while. The third year old linebacker
Speaker 1: may join the Cardinals at their training facility, participating and meetings, conditioning,
Speaker 1: work in similar active activities, the league announced, but we
Speaker 1: don't know market if the Cardinals even will choose to
Speaker 1: keep him with him after this long stay away from
Speaker 1: the game. He was a productive member of the team
Speaker 1: before it all went side with Yeah, the Cardinals put
Speaker 1: out about as lukewarm of a statement as you possibly could.
Speaker 1: It basically said, considering we have been prohibited from having
Speaker 1: contact with Washington over the last three years, it would
Speaker 1: be premature today to discuss the potential return of the team.
Speaker 1: They basically said, we're super plugged into the draft. We'll
Speaker 1: deal with this when we have time. Very fair, because
Speaker 1: you know, Steve Kim when he was suspended in the
Speaker 1: off season in Washington, Steve Kim came out with about
Speaker 1: as strong a statement as you could against him because
Speaker 1: it wasn't just the marijuana. It was, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: there was an assault issue with a performer girlfriend. It
Speaker 1: was basically a myriad of nonsense where and failing more tests,
Speaker 1: more tests, multiple tests. There's you know, the Cardinals at
Speaker 1: that time, super Bowl window wide open. We don't have
Speaker 1: time for players. We can't rely on next man up,
Speaker 1: It's what they said. And so now you're not waiting
Speaker 1: for him necessarily to come back into the building. I
Speaker 1: think they'll cut him, really yeah. I think just there.
Speaker 1: The statements they've made over the years have been so
Speaker 1: negative about him. He's thirty years old. He was a
Speaker 1: very good player. For people that don't remember, I second
Speaker 1: team All Pro. But that was two thousand twelve, and
Speaker 1: he's thirty, and he's been a mess. And I just
Speaker 1: just their statements over the last two or three years
Speaker 1: have been so scathing at points, borderline scathing, that I
Speaker 1: think they'll just let him go. He was one of
Speaker 1: the best inside linebackers in football right before he suspended.
Speaker 1: But his game is pure speed. He's a lot like
Speaker 1: Ryan schis Ear. He's thirty years old. Now. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that pure speed is gonna be there when
Speaker 1: you're running a four or eight as a linebacker. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you're gonna do that at each thirty.
Speaker 1: Domestic violence to the climate, it sounds crazy, but it's
Speaker 1: it's changed even since since he first completely suspended. Uh,
Speaker 1: And I think that could be a factor to him
Speaker 1: getting cut. Dan On on the trope front, he has
Speaker 1: released a statement saying that he is in the best
Speaker 1: shape of my life. He's article articles also not bloody likely. Uh.
Speaker 1: Moving on, Let's talk a little draft bus, little bit
Speaker 1: of draft buzz biz. That's a buzz sound. The Browns, Oh,
Speaker 1: the Browns. They got the whole world in there and
Speaker 1: the palm of their little hand, mark, the little globe
Speaker 1: sitting in their little brown paw. Uh. Picking at number
Speaker 1: one and number twelve. Lucky the Rams lost that game
Speaker 1: to the Niners. For your mark, You were right to
Speaker 1: celebrate that day. Think, well, we'll see where the celebration
Speaker 1: comes or where it ends. Two days away from now,
Speaker 1: just one day away from the NFL Draft, the Browns
Speaker 1: are starting to make some moves. Owners of the first
Speaker 1: and twelve pick. They need a quarterback. But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: NFL Networks Mike Silver reported the Browns have spoken with
Speaker 1: at least four teams in the top eight about trading
Speaker 1: up Mark. Recklessly speculate the four teams in the top
Speaker 1: eight that they're talking to. I would say that you
Speaker 1: have spoken with the forty nause forty Niners have wisely
Speaker 1: said that they want Mitchell Robinsky potentially at number two.
Speaker 1: I think the Titans at number five make a ton
Speaker 1: of sense, because you want to get in front of
Speaker 1: the Jets. Uh, and it honestly, if your key is
Speaker 1: to get in front of the Jets, I would say
Speaker 1: maybe even the Bears and the Jaguars. Well, the Jets
Speaker 1: do make sense? Yeah, the Jets, Yeah, the Jet all right.
Speaker 1: I mean if the Jets aren't if the Jets don't
Speaker 1: want Mitchell Robinsky or a quarterback, then you could flip
Speaker 1: out with them too, right, So the Jets, the Titans,
Speaker 1: the forty Niners, the Jaguars are an option. What was
Speaker 1: the other team you had there? Basically every team, and
Speaker 1: I mean one through two through seven. To me that
Speaker 1: the little pressure points Tennessee, you know, at five they
Speaker 1: want to trade. They've made it clear through you know,
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah reported that they have made it clear that
Speaker 1: they want to trade John. They they've said publicly there's
Speaker 1: a fifty fifty chance they'll trade hold on. He said,
Speaker 1: at least fifty fifty, which tells me it's yes. And
Speaker 1: then the other team to me is the Bills at
Speaker 1: ten could take a quarterback, so you would you would
Speaker 1: think you would if you were gonna take If you're
Speaker 1: gonna move up, you want to move ahead of the
Speaker 1: next two teams in front of them, the Saints and
Speaker 1: the Bills, who theoretically could take did you hear any was? Uh,
Speaker 1: my family was in town, so I was kind of
Speaker 1: had a pocket, But did you hear any of that
Speaker 1: buzz over the weekend about forty two, No streets talking.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't they be discussing that and make it see
Speaker 1: why that's I'm not. It's their moment right now, so
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not saying that that won't continue to
Speaker 1: be the case, but forty two. Just keep an eye
Speaker 1: on it. I would say, I've got nothing but love
Speaker 1: for fifty two. You see Jesus uh. Speaking of the rounds,
Speaker 1: mark you, I think you have a statement to make potentially,
Speaker 1: or you can refrain from it. But um. On April eighteenth,
Speaker 1: you tweeted, I'm tempered and lost as a Browns fan,
Speaker 1: but the hopeful slash a logical spirit in me that
Speaker 1: fell for Cleveland and eight six here's two words, Colin
Speaker 1: Patrick mahomes. Yeah, update, update, I mean I the keyword,
Speaker 1: and there was illogical and sort of lost in everything else,
Speaker 1: like I I really do. Here's where I stand. I
Speaker 1: If Cleveland is going to trade up or do anything,
Speaker 1: it better be for another rock solid, defensive type prospect.
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want them to go
Speaker 1: up and reach and give away picks for any of
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. I'm not saying I've studied this as much
Speaker 1: as other people. It certainly have not. But starting to
Speaker 1: watch more and more Mitchell Robiski, more and more of
Speaker 1: Mahomes and all of them, I think these guys are
Speaker 1: also imperfect that I cannot understand why you would trade
Speaker 1: up or why you'd allow this to leak out of
Speaker 1: your building to such a degree. I kind of feel
Speaker 1: a little bit that might all this might be a
Speaker 1: massive smoke screen. It might all be nonsense. But I
Speaker 1: am not sitting here pining for one of these quarterbacks
Speaker 1: at all. I would rather them not trade up at
Speaker 1: all and get two great players at one and twelve.
Speaker 1: I'm starting to feel better in terms of there there
Speaker 1: was some unrest about the Miles Garrett situation. Feels like
Speaker 1: we're very close to getting the report that it's a
Speaker 1: done deal the Browns will take. If it is not there,
Speaker 1: I think you have to suffer the risk of thirty
Speaker 1: one other teams. There have been words banning around, shouldn't
Speaker 1: be in the league if they might getting this wrong. Well, no,
Speaker 1: that someone said that they should not be in the league.
Speaker 1: If they don't understand that you take Myles Garrett number one,
Speaker 1: they they simply are not competitive. You cannot go into
Speaker 1: year two of Hugh Jackson where it sounds like there's
Speaker 1: issues inside the building about who wants What if that's
Speaker 1: true with Myles Garrett not being the number one pick
Speaker 1: and letting that fall to a team like the Niners,
Speaker 1: it's an unbelievable situation that sets you up to you
Speaker 1: for he again years of comparison with the player you
Speaker 1: passed on. So what would we call up like this
Speaker 1: is catchuan rough Riders or I would I honestly, I
Speaker 1: would not do anything at that point. I don't know
Speaker 1: what I would do. Come on, what if we got
Speaker 1: rid of the Browns? The terrible number? You can't stay
Speaker 1: with at one? It's an easy answer, the Montreal Alouettes. Okay,
Speaker 1: flip places with them? Yeah, here we go. I agree,
Speaker 1: by the way, it's embarrassing. I agree with what you're
Speaker 1: saying Mark, in terms of that you're suspecting this could
Speaker 1: all be a smoke screen. I think what you're saying
Speaker 1: about not being excited about your bisky is so logical.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be true that that teams aren't going to
Speaker 1: be trading up for these quarterbacks and the smart play
Speaker 1: will be to see if if they fall down, and
Speaker 1: of course some will get taken, but I I just
Speaker 1: can't buy it that that teams are gonna be giving
Speaker 1: up extra draft stock. It is a um. Every year
Speaker 1: moving on, there is always seems to be a first
Speaker 1: round talent where a bombshell drops that throws, you know,
Speaker 1: messes up draft boards and also potentially messes up a
Speaker 1: person's life. And in this case, Ohio State quarterback Garyon Conley,
Speaker 1: who is considered one of the top prospects in this draft. Uh,
Speaker 1: it was learned this week that he's being investigated by
Speaker 1: police after he was accused of rape by a woman
Speaker 1: earlier this month. That as according to Cleveland police, who
Speaker 1: confirmed it to NFL media, Conley has not been charged
Speaker 1: or arrested in connection with the alleged incident. UM. But
Speaker 1: it goes without saying Greg Rosenthal that, uh, this could
Speaker 1: lead some teams to go in a different direction. We
Speaker 1: saw it with Laramie Tunsel on a much lesser potential
Speaker 1: situation involving the player, which was the weed bong gas
Speaker 1: mask thing. Leyall Collins a couple of years ago opted
Speaker 1: to um not get drafted at all and went the
Speaker 1: other route. Hold teams not to draft him, and now
Speaker 1: Connley finds himself potentially in a similar situation. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: It's tough to know how this will shake out. It's
Speaker 1: such a serious accusation. The police can you know, as
Speaker 1: you mentioned, confirmed to the NFL that they're investigating it,
Speaker 1: and it's it's going to take time, you know. I
Speaker 1: I went and looked in just where was this guy
Speaker 1: going to get drafted? To begin with? He was thought
Speaker 1: of as a top three, top three or four cornerback,
Speaker 1: was probably a mid to late type of first round pick.
Speaker 1: And with this sort of uncertainty, I mean, people have
Speaker 1: compared it to Collins. To me, they're they're different. They're
Speaker 1: very different situations, especially because Collins told teams not to
Speaker 1: draft him. You would you would think teams would just
Speaker 1: stay away. But we're guessing about about things that it's
Speaker 1: sort of unknowable, right, I mean, wouldn't they just stay
Speaker 1: Just happened. We just learned about the case, and so
Speaker 1: all that has to play out. It is. I think
Speaker 1: it must be a surprise to UM scouts because I
Speaker 1: was looking at Bob McGinn puts out the scouting reports
Speaker 1: and talks to scouts about these players, and the words
Speaker 1: used to describe only were great character kid. Everybody loves
Speaker 1: this guy, really good teammate, leader of the group. So
Speaker 1: it's not someone where there's like this map, this history
Speaker 1: of of uh, you know, strange behavior, illegal behavior on
Speaker 1: any level. So it's it's it's it's terrible timing, and
Speaker 1: if it's true, then he won't be drafted at all.
Speaker 1: We're not going to know though that by that time
Speaker 1: Thursday comes around. Moving on, Jake Long was the number
Speaker 1: one pick of the two thousand eight NFL draft, uh
Speaker 1: and he is calling it a career. Almost thirty two
Speaker 1: years old. He announced his decision on Twitter on Monday,
Speaker 1: and was nine years to the day when he became
Speaker 1: the first overall pick of the two thousand eight draft,
Speaker 1: ahead of Chris Long and who Matt Matt Ryan, who
Speaker 1: went number three that year. UH Long released a long
Speaker 1: statemen about his decision to leave the game. Injuries have
Speaker 1: basically just completely destroyed him in the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: After he was a true lockdown left corner for several years. No,
Speaker 1: he was a corner, actually was do your homework, a
Speaker 1: lockdown left tackle for multiple years with the Dolphins. Um
Speaker 1: so you know, notable to bring it up. Nice career
Speaker 1: for Jake, but I do have um a statement to
Speaker 1: make you do. I do as the CEO slash GM
Speaker 1: slash Director of Communications for sash inventor slash inventor. You
Speaker 1: are the Jerry Jones in this in this situation slash
Speaker 1: gerra in so many ways of the San Diego Graybeards.
Speaker 1: Big announcement here, the San Diego Graybeards will induct longtime
Speaker 1: left tackle Jake Long into our Ring of Honor on Sunday,
Speaker 1: October twenty two and a half time of our home
Speaker 1: contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Please join us as we
Speaker 1: honor Jake for his years of service to the NFL's
Speaker 1: most senior friendly French guys. It seems fifty dash dash,
Speaker 1: thirty dash dash. He's got everything you look for in
Speaker 1: a franchise caliber player for the Gray Beards. He was
Speaker 1: once an All Pro, always on the Gray Beards. He was.
Speaker 1: He was on my Gray Beards team in both the
Speaker 1: two thousand fifteen and two thousand sixteen now fits. And
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I thought long and hard about
Speaker 1: putting him on two thousand seventeen. I think when I
Speaker 1: decided not to. Once he saw the article get published
Speaker 1: on NFL dot com, he said, if the gray beards
Speaker 1: are passing on me, I think maybe it's not to
Speaker 1: move to the next step in my life. I think
Speaker 1: you are over your long pun limit for this whole segment.
Speaker 1: Those are all unintentional. Unintentional. Uh, that's what's happening in
Speaker 1: the news. No, Jake Cutler, Yeah, all right. Care the
Speaker 1: rest of the league doesn't care about him. Neither do we.
Speaker 1: J Color wants to play. His agent is telling people,
Speaker 1: there you go, good luck, good luck Jay. Now moving on.
Speaker 1: It is time, and I want to say I want
Speaker 1: to start this by saying we have we have gotten sloppy,
Speaker 1: much like we we we failed in our promotion of
Speaker 1: our video shows that just ran for the last month. Um,
Speaker 1: it wasn't something we did, uh you know, on purpose.
Speaker 1: It wasn't you know, we didn't mean for it to
Speaker 1: happen this way, but we just we kind of let
Speaker 1: ourselves down with that a little bit. And you know,
Speaker 1: we we being part of a collective, we but we
Speaker 1: are part of right. Maybe you know, maybe others could
Speaker 1: help us as well with that. I don't know if
Speaker 1: anyone in the world was aware that we had those
Speaker 1: video shows. But maybe next time around there will be
Speaker 1: a general awareness. But this situation with Go get my Lunch, Uh,
Speaker 1: you turd uh, is that we have gotten a little
Speaker 1: lax in paying off sandwiches. And I just want to
Speaker 1: say with peace and love that I don't think we
Speaker 1: should do Go Get My Lunch anymore unless we get
Speaker 1: back to the core of it, which was put your
Speaker 1: sandwich where your mouth is. And if you get a
Speaker 1: proposition incorrect, you gotta deal out sandwiches. It's coming out
Speaker 1: of your wallet. Thoughts. I am all for this. I
Speaker 1: think that there should be some accountability attached to your
Speaker 1: uh propositions. Oh, I I totally agree. Uh. Looking at
Speaker 1: the Go Get my Lunch site, I think I was
Speaker 1: eleven and six in our last little round. You always
Speaker 1: turned this into like a promotion. My family has ant
Speaker 1: that can feed, that could feed us. For a week,
Speaker 1: I've been they've been waiting for those sandwiches, and I
Speaker 1: have to tell I have to tell my kids now
Speaker 1: another some responsibility attached these picks might ruin your percentages
Speaker 1: a little bit, right, because I think three of us
Speaker 1: might care a little bit more and actually try on
Speaker 1: the conscious level. We only stopped like for one or
Speaker 1: two times. West was three and nine last time. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think, why would why would we just start now?
Speaker 1: Don't we have to make up these old West? Why
Speaker 1: don't we Okay, we're all in agreement. Let's get back
Speaker 1: into paying off the sandwich I didn't I didn't express
Speaker 1: agreement with that. But well here's what I stay there.
Speaker 1: Here one thing, when it comes to pay them off,
Speaker 1: it's extremely murky because at this point we've had two
Speaker 1: waves of sandwich bets, super Bowl and uh, free agency,
Speaker 1: and everyone's sort of up and down with our standings.
Speaker 1: You kind of have a good run a bad run.
Speaker 1: We've got to find some sort of system to find
Speaker 1: out what anyone actually owes. Well, let's start now, right
Speaker 1: and the standings will you know, obviously every all the
Speaker 1: picks count, but starting with the draft here is a
Speaker 1: nice um chance to reboot in terms of the payment.
Speaker 1: So if you've succeeded up to now, as Greg has
Speaker 1: unfortunately exactly unfortunate, would be very good to have lost
Speaker 1: lots of sandwich is the last few rounds. It never
Speaker 1: really matter. Your weird didn't matter. Then now we'll just arbitrary,
Speaker 1: and we decided that it matters. Now, now you're right,
Speaker 1: that is bad, bad news for you, but you know,
Speaker 1: come on, get over it. Very good news for West. Um.
Speaker 1: And now West, before we get into these you have
Speaker 1: to understand that I think this is a very important
Speaker 1: round for you. I had three thousand and seventeen NFL Draft.
Speaker 1: You you you went three and eleven. Uh for free agency? Uh?
Speaker 1: He did go one and oh in the super Bowl
Speaker 1: once upon a time. What was the one even there?
Speaker 1: I think it was Marks that the super Bowl will
Speaker 1: not happen. Nailed that one. Um. Yeah, I think if
Speaker 1: you'll look back on history, when we first started this segment,
Speaker 1: I was in first place for a while and then
Speaker 1: I went in the bucket like you did during the
Speaker 1: draft wing year. Damn I did. I had that really
Speaker 1: bad draft, which really the fact that I'm just behind
Speaker 1: Greg is a real credit to the old Zuster coming
Speaker 1: back from what I think was a one in fourteen
Speaker 1: two thousand and fifteen draft. But here we are, now, West,
Speaker 1: this is your opportunity to get back in the game.
Speaker 1: Crawl back to five hundred and once you get to
Speaker 1: five and now let's get into him. Mark. We start
Speaker 1: with you your first proposition, and for those that are
Speaker 1: listening to our first for the first time, uh, each
Speaker 1: of us will go around make a prediction about the draft,
Speaker 1: and then each of us will have the opportunity to
Speaker 1: take up that person on their predictions say no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you're wrong jibbroni, and then there are sandwiches in play
Speaker 1: for the winner and the loser. My first prop is
Speaker 1: two words long, it rains, rains. Where's the draft us?
Speaker 1: It is outside, and it is an incredible risk. You
Speaker 1: are going right up to mother nature and you're saying
Speaker 1: we're taking you on. We want three days of sunny,
Speaker 1: blissful weather, low low winds. I'm seeing some precipitate. Are
Speaker 1: we not allowed to do any research? I would say,
Speaker 1: if you have not done any up to now, that
Speaker 1: we would that would that you? I would say I
Speaker 1: would not if I were you. But you are more
Speaker 1: what more than welcome to do whatever you want to do.
Speaker 1: Well here this is a perfect example. Maybe a couple
Speaker 1: of months ago, that's yeah, why not, it's gonna rain,
Speaker 1: It's not gonna rain, let's go for it. But now
Speaker 1: I know there's actual there's like you either do either
Speaker 1: know that there's a very good chance, or that there's
Speaker 1: a little chance. I don't know. I think the weather
Speaker 1: in the east is very unpredictable. You want to tie
Speaker 1: yourself to a weather report, be my guest. I would
Speaker 1: say that even if it rains at all, any amount
Speaker 1: of precipitate, any water from the sky, and we have
Speaker 1: Connraar on the scene, I'm going to have him on
Speaker 1: this minute. Minute. Well, it's only during the draft. Now,
Speaker 1: what if it's overnight Friday night, but not during the draft?
Speaker 1: I think it needs to be during the draft. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's fair to say Saturday, Friday, Thursday, Friday
Speaker 1: or Saturday from when the pispeak in to end, not
Speaker 1: if it d If it rains in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night, I'm not going to tag you to that.
Speaker 1: That seems a little ridiculous. I was thinking just Thursday night.
Speaker 1: But you're saying for the entire weekend. The draft is
Speaker 1: a three day affair. I'm gonna take you up on that.
Speaker 1: If they haven't even looked yet, sure, I'm gonna look anyways.
Speaker 1: What if it rains during off hours, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm going to only peg you during active like bell open,
Speaker 1: this bell close, this type thing. I think that's making
Speaker 1: it even more fair. I'm gonna look at the five
Speaker 1: day weather I maybe should not have taken you up well,
Speaker 1: Gregory did uh? It looks like right now chance of
Speaker 1: precipitation at its high on Saturday in your corner. Friday
Speaker 1: partly cloudy. So it's here on Thursday, accord in National
Speaker 1: Weather Service. But I took you on it. I'll take
Speaker 1: you yeah, according yeah, weather that coming. So you say
Speaker 1: it will rain, I am saying it will rain at
Speaker 1: one point during the active pick session of the draft,
Speaker 1: either no precipitation. I have not done any homework on
Speaker 1: this issue and purposely tuned out greg and Dan during
Speaker 1: this segment. I'm taking you up on it as well.
Speaker 1: I like it all right. So there you go, a
Speaker 1: lot of sandwiches on the line, tides of rain, Chris
Speaker 1: westling here it is a big, big brown for Chris.
Speaker 1: We all know what the pressure is on. No pressure,
Speaker 1: No diamonds, Chris West. Should the forty nine ers stay
Speaker 1: put at number two, they will not draft an offensive player,
Speaker 1: which means no Leonard for Net, no Mitchell Trobinsky. If
Speaker 1: the forty Niners do not trade out of the round.
Speaker 1: They will not take it interesting because no one really
Speaker 1: thinks will take Trabinsky. I mean that would be a stunt.
Speaker 1: All kinds of reporters do I don't think I haven't
Speaker 1: seen reporters on our network. We've already said you're not
Speaker 1: buying it. They're throwing it out there that the forty
Speaker 1: Niners are putting it out there, come come grat us.
Speaker 1: But I don't think anyone believes there's any chance. So
Speaker 1: who does that really? Leave just for NET? Essentially, So
Speaker 1: you're kind of just betting. You're not trying to dress
Speaker 1: down my statement and Trobisky just because you don't believe
Speaker 1: talk pro im talking it out I'm talking about I
Speaker 1: guess I guess up. You knows the steaks and watch
Speaker 1: out Greg, Greg always dressed diminish. Whatever you put out there, Oh,
Speaker 1: this isn't really going out on a limb. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not talk you talk out the persons. So you're saying
Speaker 1: it's just for NET. Why don't you just say just
Speaker 1: for NET and leave Trabisky out of it. I was
Speaker 1: gonna go or NET to the forty Niners as my
Speaker 1: onion hanger, but now since I have this opportunity. I'll
Speaker 1: just take you up on that anyways, so I'll kill
Speaker 1: my other one. I'll take you up because because why not.
Speaker 1: I think it's I wanted to see what happens. I
Speaker 1: think it's a good prop. Let's go for it. Wait
Speaker 1: take you wait, I'm confused. You're saying it will He's
Speaker 1: saying it's a defensive player. All right, I agree, So
Speaker 1: I'm not going to take him up on that. Right,
Speaker 1: you think it will be a defensive player. Yes, I
Speaker 1: think that's a heavy favorite, or a punter or a kicker,
Speaker 1: or I think I think I will lose a sandwich.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to just be I'm gonna be a
Speaker 1: sport about it. And well, you did have a nice
Speaker 1: round where you let Sydney act as you're conduit. I'm
Speaker 1: taking every bet unless something is totally outlandish. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: I think you know. This game always confuses me. I
Speaker 1: think that the forty niners will stay in the pick
Speaker 1: and pick a defensive player. So that means that I
Speaker 1: will not take you on anything, right all right? God? Alright?
Speaker 1: Moving um now I'm thinking about it. Well, if pick,
Speaker 1: I'm flipping back again, because why would I change what
Speaker 1: my onion hanger was even if it was an onion hanger,
Speaker 1: I'll take it. I'll take you. I'll say, why not? Right,
Speaker 1: if that was your onion hanger, it was gonna be
Speaker 1: it makes sense that you would. You know it's gone
Speaker 1: now though, right, you're bad. I gotta come up with
Speaker 1: a new one, he said. Do you know that, as
Speaker 1: per tradition, the producer has to come up with a
Speaker 1: go get my lunch prop for the draft as well.
Speaker 1: I did become aware of that about twenty minutes ago.
Speaker 1: In fact, the Irishman Brandon McGinnis is the only producer
Speaker 1: to ever win a sandwich prop, and it came on
Speaker 1: the draft last season when he predicted correctly that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys would take Jalen's or a team would take Jalen
Speaker 1: Smith in the first two rounds of the draft. He
Speaker 1: picked up four sandwiches there. That was nice. I think
Speaker 1: maybe the producers are cursed. They were, so he got
Speaker 1: that one, right. Jalen Smith is now not doing so great,
Speaker 1: you know, so maybe I should just stay sit this
Speaker 1: one out. Let's try. He got He got a sandwiches, though,
Speaker 1: I do you remember getting Brandon? Uh, this is part
Speaker 1: of your job. You have to do it said, so
Speaker 1: even if you have to kinda like laylow a little bit,
Speaker 1: maybe ease up on the drops for the next fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: So you gotta come up with something essentially begin your
Speaker 1: draft prep. When we did, I'll go next. I don't
Speaker 1: you know what? Do I know? Nothing? So the one
Speaker 1: the one team that I fall very closely during this
Speaker 1: walk up process obviously is the Jets. So I will
Speaker 1: throw one out there with the Jets. Uh, it is
Speaker 1: a double, it's a two partner, a tease. What do
Speaker 1: they call it in your parlance? Greg? Is that a tease? Parlay? Parlay?
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? Parley in the parlance? Not
Speaker 1: at The Jets will go defense in the first round
Speaker 1: for a ninth consecutive year. Hm, and they will not
Speaker 1: take a quarterback in their first three picks. You uh,
Speaker 1: you know you will take that? Yeah, you went against
Speaker 1: the normal rules. That's sort of an onion hanging right
Speaker 1: there by putting two different things on the table because
Speaker 1: I kind of I agree the top players tend this year.
Speaker 1: It seems like it's mostly defense up there, but I
Speaker 1: think they'll take a quarterback. So I'm taking you up
Speaker 1: on that sandwich. Mark, I will too. I mean it's
Speaker 1: a complex I've tried these complex, multi pronged bets and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh for nine on them. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try to win one back. And here's and here's my logic.
Speaker 1: I don't need to get into the quarterback situation again,
Speaker 1: but I will say the Jets have so many holes
Speaker 1: on both sides of the roster that I think they
Speaker 1: are more likely to uh just stock up on various
Speaker 1: players that can help and maybe Todd Bowles help save
Speaker 1: his job. And also you're convincing me as you're talking
Speaker 1: trade out of that number six pitch. I think they're
Speaker 1: desperate to do that as well. And I think that
Speaker 1: would be done uh all around the idea of stocking
Speaker 1: up the roster and kicking the can on quarterback until
Speaker 1: next year, so we'll see what well. And you're GM
Speaker 1: would probably be in the position of having to already
Speaker 1: cut and release a quarterback he just drafted about seven
Speaker 1: hundred days ago or three hundred and sixty five days ago.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's probably that it's such a bad
Speaker 1: look before Hackenburg has ever stepped on the field. Uh,
Speaker 1: we don't even know if the guy is real. Oh,
Speaker 1: this would be the Christian Hackenburg is real drop. But
Speaker 1: Sydney right now is powering away trying to come up
Speaker 1: with so anyway, I got I got three sandwiches locked
Speaker 1: in on that one. I'm a little worried about this one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think a good job. Yeah, you kind of hoodwinked
Speaker 1: us with the double pronged maneuver. I don't work. But O. J.
Speaker 1: Howard is sitting out there too. I think you there
Speaker 1: are a couple factors out there. Yeah, I think. I
Speaker 1: don't think they have the onions to pick Howard, but
Speaker 1: that could happen. Greg alright right, wearing the Henley today,
Speaker 1: by the way, on Chris Westling's corner. A little bit interesting. Well,
Speaker 1: he is the strong silent type, so it's a it's
Speaker 1: a good fit for him. Henley is what the strong
Speaker 1: silent types wear. Yeah, like, whatever you're wearing, let the
Speaker 1: strong silent type swear. Uh. Ruben Foster in the news
Speaker 1: for failing that drug test, talked about it a little
Speaker 1: bit on Monday's show. People a little worried, you know, well,
Speaker 1: will that crush his draft stock? I'm gonna say no
Speaker 1: that despite failing the drug test, despite having an altercation
Speaker 1: with with the hospital worker and whatnot. Some reports that
Speaker 1: he hasn't really made a great impression. I'll say he
Speaker 1: still gets taken in the top fifteen picks, doesn't end
Speaker 1: up parding his draft pick top fifteen, top fifteen. I'll
Speaker 1: take you up on that. Hell, I don't know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll take that. Why not? I had a problem where
Speaker 1: is he gonna go? I don't know. Well, I think
Speaker 1: he would have gone and he was a lock for
Speaker 1: top ten. People thought he'd be about a top twelve
Speaker 1: type of pick. I think people maybe the Saints even
Speaker 1: were a factor. I had a prop which I will
Speaker 1: not use, where he falls out of the top ten.
Speaker 1: But I don't think he's gonna fall much farther than that.
Speaker 1: I I the one thing that we're hearing is that
Speaker 1: the issues, the stuff that's cropped up, a lot of
Speaker 1: teams don't consider it massive, massive issue. Um, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to take you up on that one. Actually, what
Speaker 1: was the what happened at the doctor check in? That
Speaker 1: that was a fun little story. Yeah, just that he
Speaker 1: was waiting for a long time for his tests. Whether
Speaker 1: it was an m R I I'm not really sure.
Speaker 1: And he started getting a little ornery and he got
Speaker 1: into it with a hospital worker, you know, some sort
Speaker 1: of back and forth, and he ended up getting kicked
Speaker 1: kicked out. Maybe the hospital worker was a class A jerk.
Speaker 1: I like, I like mean linebackers. I'd like I would
Speaker 1: like if my team had one, well means hospital workers.
Speaker 1: Though everyone about that, I mean to anyone. Yes, Baltimore
Speaker 1: Raven rush for twenty yards right up the middle of
Speaker 1: our defense of that. Take this guy off my draft board.
Speaker 1: All right, wait, I hate to do this, but I
Speaker 1: really need to run to the to the men's room
Speaker 1: for a second. Oh my god, I'm just gonna stop down.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna stop, but we're gonna do our read
Speaker 1: right now. You gotta check on his meds. That is weird.
Speaker 1: That has never happened on this show. But there he goes, strong,
Speaker 1: silent type, small bladder. We're gonna stretch read excuse himself
Speaker 1: to go use the restaurant. Yeah, that's what I hope
Speaker 1: it's not a real emergency. Well, well, I need some
Speaker 1: new underpants. And on that subject, elevate your underwear game
Speaker 1: to the next level with you know what it is?
Speaker 1: What is meand's? Oh just seriously, soft, feel good and
Speaker 1: he's delivered right to your door. Means are designed in

Speaker 1: Their performance enhancing enhancing dy's it's like using a corked bat.
Speaker 1: Let me just put it that way away. Their end eineered,
Speaker 1: which is taking nothing away like a wonder from you
Speaker 1: guys or anybody that wears me and these, which is
Speaker 1: an excellent product, but that if there's another reason why
Speaker 1: to get these? Oh yeah, they contour the lower body
Speaker 1: very well. I would say that I am a fringe.
Speaker 1: I'm closing in on a subscription. I'm not just saying
Speaker 1: that because the rest of my under underwear selection. This
Speaker 1: coming from someone who didn't even wear underwear until the
Speaker 1: last may have converted me and I, you know, wearing
Speaker 1: that leopard print one right now, and I want to
Speaker 1: see what other selections they have. Whatever it is that
Speaker 1: black and White Bears Sydney, can we work on getting
Speaker 1: a statement from the Shadowy League figure relevant to this
Speaker 1: discussion on why it is not an individualized offer code?
Speaker 1: Thank you respectfully, ask like, Hey, the guys I'm a
Speaker 1: part of the show, would like a explanation why the
Speaker 1: offer code is universal. I predict the answer will be vanilla.
Speaker 1: And here it comes Greg right on Q emergency averted. Greg,
Speaker 1: we decided uh not to even do the meyandis read.
Speaker 1: We spent the entire time talking about your abrupt exit.
Speaker 1: I have no regrets. No, hey, listen, it could have
Speaker 1: ended a lot worse than it did. Put it that
Speaker 1: way all right, By the way, next round, did you
Speaker 1: just go second time? Mark? I have not. Yeah, before
Speaker 1: we do that, let's do our group way Drew. It's
Speaker 1: just one prop and we all make a guess and
Speaker 1: that that will be the following scenario. What slot or
Speaker 1: which slot, what slot will the first quarterback be taken?
Speaker 1: It So, whether you believe that to be the first round,
Speaker 1: I think most people think it will happen in the
Speaker 1: first round. Forget about the team, because the teams could
Speaker 1: trade out, and it's very possible that's how this ends
Speaker 1: up playing out, although you never know. Uh so not
Speaker 1: the team, just the number one through thirty two, go
Speaker 1: around the room, or if you don't think anybody quarter right,
Speaker 1: go say off the board that too. That would be
Speaker 1: an onion hanger. Um, Mark, you'r up, uh just reading
Speaker 1: the tea leaves don't want this to happen. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go number five Titans, Well, number five wherever that wherever
Speaker 1: that ends up being whatever team someone trading possibly the
Speaker 1: Browns not trading down, trading up. I believe into five.
Speaker 1: I'm also gonna take number five since the Titans are
Speaker 1: to trade down interesting well, reading the tea leaves once again,
Speaker 1: five is makes a lot of sense. Six makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense. Uh. So I will say, just to
Speaker 1: be different, I will say the Jets will trade out
Speaker 1: of six, uh, and I'll I believe the Browns will
Speaker 1: trade into it, uh and they'll make the pick there,
Speaker 1: So I'll say six. My thought process was, was ten
Speaker 1: or twelve? Really where the two I was looking at?
Speaker 1: People think the Bills might take Deshaun Watson. I think
Speaker 1: Trabinsky could end up just fall into the Browns, which
Speaker 1: no one would be too shocked by. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with the Bills. I think I think let's go
Speaker 1: number ten, number ten. So two fives, six and a
Speaker 1: ten mark go your next prop. Alright, controversial player, talk
Speaker 1: about a guy with a lot of baggage. But also
Speaker 1: it depends what kind of team you are, where your
Speaker 1: ownerships at. Joe Mixon considered by some to be a
Speaker 1: phenomenal talent. I say that he is gone by pick
Speaker 1: number thirty five already five. I had a Joe Mixon
Speaker 1: one that is similar to this. We could team up.
Speaker 1: It was my onion hanger. What happens other people's onion
Speaker 1: hangers are just my second or third problem. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: getting just getting warmed up. Mine is a little more
Speaker 1: onion e Um, Well, you can still hanging anyway. So
Speaker 1: you're saying he will go in the top thirty picks
Speaker 1: despite that horrific domestic or violence incident at the restaurant,
Speaker 1: which obviously is on a lot of people's radar. And
Speaker 1: we've been we've been starting to go to school on
Speaker 1: these players, and and I think the general thought is
Speaker 1: he he might be the most complete running back in
Speaker 1: this draft, even more than Leonard for Nett, and if if,
Speaker 1: if not for that incident, you know, he'd probably be
Speaker 1: a top twenty pick. I will take you up on that.
Speaker 1: I think that's that's right around the over under. So
Speaker 1: that makes that makes some sense. But that's that's real
Speaker 1: early on day two, that is the first three picks.
Speaker 1: Those three picks are Cleveland, San Francisco, and Jacksonville. You
Speaker 1: could argue I didn't want to go deeper because I
Speaker 1: think those three teams potentially would have a need at
Speaker 1: running back and would potentially take a chance. You could
Speaker 1: also make the argument that one or two of those
Speaker 1: teams will scratch that itch in the first round, which
Speaker 1: will leave maybe just one team that hasn't need at
Speaker 1: that point. I will also go I'll take you up
Speaker 1: on that. I just think um teams and it's a
Speaker 1: different world. We were just talking about that earlier in
Speaker 1: the show. I think some teams don't want to invest
Speaker 1: to pick that high with someone with that type of baggage.
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, mid to late second round
Speaker 1: might be a more likely spot. We'll take you up.
Speaker 1: This is a tricky one. I'm gonna take it. It's
Speaker 1: a tough one for me to figure out, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take it. Why not, West, you're up. Christian McCaffrey
Speaker 1: does not get drafted by a team called the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 1: Kind of interesting. So you're taking the field. That's a rare,
Speaker 1: that's a clever move. The funny West, look at mine
Speaker 1: right here. Christian McCaffrey will not go to the Panthers.
Speaker 1: So we're in the same boat on this taking eighty
Speaker 1: five records. Seriously, he wants to bounce back. So anyway,
Speaker 1: since that was my exact next prop, I will not
Speaker 1: take you up on it. A conventional wisdom is that
Speaker 1: he is going to the Panthers, but that's that's bump
Speaker 1: kiss to me. Conventional is them the day before the draft.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd like it a lot better if the
Speaker 1: Eagles were picking before the Panthers. I I'm looking, let's
Speaker 1: barring trades. I'm looking at one through seven, and I
Speaker 1: don't see the candidate that grabs him ahead of Carolina.
Speaker 1: And he's such a such an ideal talent and need
Speaker 1: fit for Carolina that this is one of the rare
Speaker 1: ones where I'm not going to take you up. I
Speaker 1: think that you're logic. DJ. You said he is going
Speaker 1: to Carolina, right, I believe he's going to Carolina. Well
Speaker 1: you would take him up? Oh, I will take you up.
Speaker 1: Then I heard that wrong. Yeah, yeah, DJ um Daniel
Speaker 1: Jeremiah tweety. He was wondering if McCaffrey would even get
Speaker 1: to eight. I will not take you up on that,
Speaker 1: just because anytime there's that big of a consensus, I
Speaker 1: don't know, you never know. I mean, if everyone really
Speaker 1: know something that much, it seems like it could be
Speaker 1: fifty fifty. But there's always a chance, like DJ said
Speaker 1: that he doesn't even get to Carolina. Well, like San
Speaker 1: Diego would be surprising. But DJ kind of mentioned even
Speaker 1: actually because they're not a franchise. Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1: The Chargers, maybe the gray Beards jump up into the
Speaker 1: top eight featured back. They do. He said, some teams,
Speaker 1: even with running backs in place, like him that much
Speaker 1: because he's not your traditional you know one a he
Speaker 1: he would maybe be. I guess I'm the reason I
Speaker 1: am going Panthers is because if one through seven, four
Speaker 1: nets gonna go to one of those teams, maybe the
Speaker 1: forty Niners, then McCaffrey is your clear number two guy.
Speaker 1: And it just fits so neatly for the Panthers that
Speaker 1: if they don't, if they if they go another, if
Speaker 1: they're gonna pick a running back, it's him. In my book,
Speaker 1: U nexce one simple, The Browns and the Texans will
Speaker 1: take quarterbacks in the first round. The room stops that
Speaker 1: its tracks. Well, I just offensive I think they will.
Speaker 1: I can't take you on that. I think I think
Speaker 1: both teams are bound to do. Starting to come out
Speaker 1: of your your new strategy. It's it's too logical. I
Speaker 1: just agree that they're that they will. Yeah, my logic
Speaker 1: is obvious. The Browns, if you threw a wild card
Speaker 1: in there, then I'm taking up, but then they are not.
Speaker 1: Those are two not Those are two clear quarterback targets.
Speaker 1: Browns have two first round picks, and they could hypothetically
Speaker 1: trade out one of those picks, even move back in
Speaker 1: the first round, and still get a guy they like potentially.
Speaker 1: And Um and the Texans, I think they're desperate to
Speaker 1: turn the page again once more, and I think there's
Speaker 1: pressure once again coming down from that from ownership. Get
Speaker 1: me my new quarterback and make me forget about the
Speaker 1: old ones. So I think it's bro the Cardinals in there,
Speaker 1: I take you up. I can't, I can't triple. I
Speaker 1: can't do they Where did you come down on this? West?
Speaker 1: I feel like the logic is sound. The Browns and
Speaker 1: Texans plan to draft a quarterback in the first round,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna take you up on it because there's
Speaker 1: no telling who's gonna be there at The guy that
Speaker 1: Texans want might be off the board, so they might
Speaker 1: have to adjust on the fly. I will take you
Speaker 1: up on it. I've fallen into the trap again by
Speaker 1: including too many uh you know parts. Whenever you do that,
Speaker 1: you get in trouble. But it wouldn't be gut see
Speaker 1: at all to say one of you know, both one
Speaker 1: of it. No, I don't even think this is too
Speaker 1: many parts. I think you're right. I think it's perfect.
Speaker 1: Like we must be getting good at these games, because
Speaker 1: all of these feel like fifty fifty shots to me,
Speaker 1: almost impossible to to pick. But I'm gonna do what
Speaker 1: West says, uh for the same reason that you just
Speaker 1: never you never know. And and maybe maybe the Texans
Speaker 1: love Patrick Mahomes and maybe it gets taken before there.
Speaker 1: Who knows. I have a theory on why they all
Speaker 1: seem like it's not just that we're getting better. The
Speaker 1: draft is not our area of expertise, so our knowledge
Speaker 1: is like, okay, that sounds reasonable me And I think
Speaker 1: it's one of the more mysterious in a long time.
Speaker 1: Ruben Foster want to still like rattle around my brain. Well,
Speaker 1: people have said even though we we don't know anything,
Speaker 1: we don't know anything. And then on top of that,
Speaker 1: the conventional wisdom is people know less about this draft
Speaker 1: of what's gonna happen than any draft in a while.
Speaker 1: I mean, no one has any clue what the forty
Speaker 1: Niners are even gonna do it too. There's like five
Speaker 1: or six players people have been thrown to them. So
Speaker 1: all right, by the way, just for time reasons, Greg,
Speaker 1: you're gonna do your second one, then we have one
Speaker 1: more each. We gotta go. Okay, Uh, this whole taking
Speaker 1: my onion hanger before really confused. Walla Walla is big onions.
Speaker 1: There is giant sweet Spanish onions are good. Maybe I'll oh, Greg,
Speaker 1: you're up, sorry, Red Walla Wallace. You have done this
Speaker 1: in the in the restroom. I like the internal monologue.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have John Ross. Maybe we're going too deep here.
Speaker 1: John Ross is gonna be taken ahead of Mike Williams.
Speaker 1: These are kind of the two two of the top
Speaker 1: three receivers. There's been some talk Ross actually might fall
Speaker 1: right out of the first round, so then I would
Speaker 1: be totally wrong. But this guy is fast, and people
Speaker 1: love fast. People like speed. He set the Combine's gonna
Speaker 1: bet on that. He broke the record of Chris Johnson.
Speaker 1: So people get excited about it. But I think the
Speaker 1: people that get more excited about that are probably the
Speaker 1: people like the layman. Uh, and maybe not the people
Speaker 1: in the building. I'm saying what I would get excited
Speaker 1: about here. Mike Williams and he kind of sounds like
Speaker 1: one of those guys who maybe doesn't get a ton
Speaker 1: of Williams and he's poisoning the well for this Mike Williams,
Speaker 1: I will take you up on that. I think that
Speaker 1: Williams will go before. Once again, it seems like a
Speaker 1: reasonable right on the nose, but I'll take you up.
Speaker 1: I think this one's a little bit of an upset.
Speaker 1: It's definitely an up It's definitely an upset. Pick upset.
Speaker 1: John Ross's fragility will be the deciding factor. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: got some injury concerns. And Mike Williams is a lot
Speaker 1: of late our visits. Teams are interested. I will take
Speaker 1: you up to I think Mike Williams goes first. Fragility
Speaker 1: a big factor with these players. Fertility, one of one
Speaker 1: of the players don't have all the information on one
Speaker 1: of the players has an eight year old kid. That's
Speaker 1: an old kid. It's an old kid. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of mileage on that kid. All right, last round, here
Speaker 1: we go, And if you haven't dropped an onion hanger yet,
Speaker 1: it is time. Alright. Well number one, I like giving
Speaker 1: food to my friends. I'm okay occasionally swinging for the fences.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give you some robotic, ultralogical onion hanger.
Speaker 1: I think that this outdoor huge onions. I've already told
Speaker 1: you that weather is going to be a legit factor
Speaker 1: in this draft. There's gonna be a lot of these clowns,
Speaker 1: these tables. Well, all right, you in the National Weather Service,
Speaker 1: they're trying to get their pick in quick at your
Speaker 1: card up. But there's a lot of confusion. Are we
Speaker 1: are we postponing this pick that pick that for the
Speaker 1: first time since the Vikings in two just to pick.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying in the first round, but between round
Speaker 1: one and seven, a team is going to miss a
Speaker 1: pick and it's not gonna be as the headline grabber
Speaker 1: like it was when the Vikings completely botched that. But
Speaker 1: over the course of these rounds, weather chaos, utter sort
Speaker 1: of just nonsense, is going to force one team to
Speaker 1: blank on a pick. Good luck ever keeping the draft
Speaker 1: indoors again. When you've got this kind of mayhem, total
Speaker 1: mayhem bedlam, they'll be putting these these drafts and underground bunkers.
Speaker 1: After what happens as well, Look at the excitement were
Speaker 1: banned by putting it outside. Next year no one will
Speaker 1: miss their pick in my opinion. Okay, yeah, next year,
Speaker 1: team is draft while we shoot paintballs at them. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take you up. Oh surprising, feels reasonable, I could go.
Speaker 1: I will take you up on it. That was good
Speaker 1: on that good hang all right, West, Time for yours. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced we're ever paying off these sandwiches there.
Speaker 1: This is the last edition. If we don't pay it off.
Speaker 1: My onion hanger. You want big onions, you gotta get
Speaker 1: big onions. The old man woke up and now he
Speaker 1: won't shut up. Joe Mixon gets drafted before Dalvin Cook.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Well, I will take you up on that,
Speaker 1: just because I like having the ones all make sense together.
Speaker 1: I just said he's not gonna get taken in the
Speaker 1: top thirty five, so that's an easy call for me.
Speaker 1: I'm saying Dalvin Cook gets drafted like in the forties. Okay,
Speaker 1: that that's that's a good onon hanger. I will take
Speaker 1: you up on it too. I'll take you but it
Speaker 1: next a lot of sandwiches in play. J. J. Watt,
Speaker 1: Texans All World defender will tweet well or Instagram or
Speaker 1: some use of his social media a childhood photo with
Speaker 1: brother t J, along with some cringe E Foe inspirational hokum.
Speaker 1: When TJ is drafted, I feel like there's like he's
Speaker 1: almost absolutely going to do that. Well, I'm actually saying
Speaker 1: these specifics like an onion protector, a specific image from
Speaker 1: their childhood together, and it has he has to have something,
Speaker 1: uh cringe e fox inspirational decides whether it's cringe. Okay,
Speaker 1: So let's let's break this down. If he sends a picture,
Speaker 1: let's say, of him and his brother at last year's
Speaker 1: Wisconsin game or something that doesn't know no good, it
Speaker 1: has to be something from I'm gonna extend it a
Speaker 1: little bit to like, you know, the formative years. So
Speaker 1: anything from when they were you know, single digit age
Speaker 1: through junior high, high school and some unif form that
Speaker 1: we've never seen before, some early high. Now what if,
Speaker 1: what if let's just have a for instance, the quote
Speaker 1: is always thought you would you would make it this far?
Speaker 1: So proud of you, bro? Does that count? Okay? It
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be pre pubescent. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on downstairs or under the armpit, so
Speaker 1: I can't tell you. But it's gonna be like twelve
Speaker 1: and under. I mean, like if it's their freshman high
Speaker 1: school photo, that's not really childhood. Yeah no, I said
Speaker 1: coming of age formative years type thing. So yes, any
Speaker 1: pretty far apart in years, so yeah, I will take no.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think actually what you've done
Speaker 1: has made an excellent prediction that this is exactly what
Speaker 1: j J would j J wat would need to be
Speaker 1: put into like a medically induced coma to not do exactly. Agree,
Speaker 1: he's gotta do it. This movie's gonna use it. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna get a single like I mean, it was
Speaker 1: a fine I'm stunned. I don't prediction it's not. It
Speaker 1: wouldn't say that it's a shock only out of character
Speaker 1: or bold. I feel like it's a one. The hyper
Speaker 1: specific specificity of it all is that how you saying
Speaker 1: specificity specificity? It? To me, it's a fifty thing like
Speaker 1: he's doing that. The only question is whether the picture
Speaker 1: is new or old. That those are the only questions,
Speaker 1: and I'm going fifty five that it's an old picture.
Speaker 1: All right, So no one took you off a rare
Speaker 1: onion hanger without stunner, all right, Greg and Sydney on deck. Wow,
Speaker 1: she's nervous. I can tell all right, Leonard, four Nette
Speaker 1: to forty Niners was going to be it, but that's
Speaker 1: gone now. So let's go with the Saints or the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: One of these two teams will take their quarterback of
Speaker 1: the future on Thursday night. Okay, one of them, one
Speaker 1: of those two. Can I ask you one question when
Speaker 1: we say quarterback of the future, we're not quarter four
Speaker 1: years to find out if he actually a quarterback a
Speaker 1: quarter They will take a first round quarterback one of them. Yes,
Speaker 1: I will take you up on that. I will take
Speaker 1: you up. I don't think either will. They're both pretty high.
Speaker 1: I think they might have to trade back in to
Speaker 1: get it. You know, I think the Cardinals will take
Speaker 1: a quarterback. But I'm gonna take you up on it
Speaker 1: because they need a lot of things right now. All right,
Speaker 1: I'll take the field. I'll take it. The Cardinals really
Speaker 1: needed the quarterback of the future, that's they do. But
Speaker 1: they could easily address it next year two or when
Speaker 1: all of these quarterbacks fall to the second round, right
Speaker 1: that that could get me. We're talking first round, right,
Speaker 1: first round. They're kind of thirteen is rich unless you're
Speaker 1: really in love. Kind of hoping. I'm hoping that one
Speaker 1: of them trades back up, maybe the Saints, but Saints
Speaker 1: thirty three, they could bump back in, are they an
Speaker 1: They're thirty two, the last pick in the first round.
Speaker 1: That's a good spot for a quarterback with the much
Speaker 1: covet and fifthier option. You know, Drew Drew Brees by
Speaker 1: the way, this in on record that he plans to
Speaker 1: play into his forties and all this talk about them
Speaker 1: needing like desperately to draft the quarterback. Come on, he's
Speaker 1: still one of the best five quarterbacks in the NFL.
Speaker 1: So little yeah, everbody come down, all right, drafting Garrett
Speaker 1: Grayson every year. Finally, we might need some timpani for
Speaker 1: this one said, because I know this is such a
Speaker 1: big moment for you to carry on the torch that
Speaker 1: the Irishman passed to you after going four and oh
Speaker 1: last year. Your prop all right here it is, I'm
Speaker 1: like shaking. I've never seen Sydney this nervous. Okay, she's
Speaker 1: not a gambler. There will be a t. J. Watt
Speaker 1: cam and we will see t J. Watt like, the
Speaker 1: camera will cut to him and linger on him. You know,
Speaker 1: like a real not just oh hey, there's t J. Watt.
Speaker 1: But it's going to cut to him specifically at least
Speaker 1: uh nine times before he's drafted. So you're all right,
Speaker 1: do you first of all, do you know any of
Speaker 1: the aduction details? Are you just going because you could
Speaker 1: find this out right? So you're saying, there will be
Speaker 1: a camera in t J. Watt's home or his family's
Speaker 1: home wherever he is, and before he gets drafted, which
Speaker 1: could be in the first round, it could be in
Speaker 1: the second round. Uh, there will be nine cutaways, nine
Speaker 1: cuts at least nine before he's drafted. Nine drafted. That's
Speaker 1: a large number. I will take that out. I will
Speaker 1: take you to and you know what I seeds Calvin Johnson.
Speaker 1: This is why we've got great listeners. They can keep
Speaker 1: track of the exact number here. That's another game they
Speaker 1: can play. That is an all time on treating them
Speaker 1: like their toddlers. Greg, listen, there were sixteen cutaways. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying we're gonna be right, and we're not gonna
Speaker 1: be We're not gonna be totally focused on every second,
Speaker 1: and I'm not I don't watch ESPN anyways. The city's
Speaker 1: Sydney just shared some logic there that there were sixteen
Speaker 1: cutaways of t J's brother during that playoff game while
Speaker 1: he was on the bench. U. But it is a
Speaker 1: little apples and oranges there. I think you're in deep
Speaker 1: trouble there in the home. That's a wild card. That's
Speaker 1: a wild card. He's probably there board drafted before, but
Speaker 1: before that's a lot before. Yeah, I mean, of course
Speaker 1: I'm taking up. I like it. It's a creative I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not as bad as when t d went for
Speaker 1: forty touchdowns, but it's close. So just as a summation here,
Speaker 1: what city needs to happen? She needs t J. Watt
Speaker 1: to be one of the players that has NFL network cameras.
Speaker 1: Is an NFL network only you said ESPN, didn't you?
Speaker 1: Or is it or ESPN? That's important? Actually we'll give
Speaker 1: you either. Thought about those details? Want to give her either, Well,
Speaker 1: here's the thing, it's only it's going to be one
Speaker 1: or the other. They probably wouldn't both NFL network feels
Speaker 1: like they could go super gushy on this. So whichever
Speaker 1: network has new and if neither network has him, you lose.
Speaker 1: He's already done before the draft even starts. But Sydney
Speaker 1: is a very honest woman. But I also feel like
Speaker 1: she might have some intel that she's not sharing with us.
Speaker 1: WHOA interesting. I just got a feeling, a bit of
Speaker 1: a sessler that Sid's got an think I'm running in
Speaker 1: high circles. It's all that new money. You're above the
Speaker 1: treetops a little bit honest. All right, there you go.
Speaker 1: So there are the two thousand seventeen draft props, many
Speaker 1: of which will be decided by the time uh your
Speaker 1: next here from us. We will um record a podcast
Speaker 1: immediately after the first round and get it to you,
Speaker 1: uh you know. Really, I'm gonna say around you know,
Speaker 1: midnight or so, uh Pacific time will drop, you know,
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night on the East coast
Speaker 1: when you wake up, it's there for you. I don't
Speaker 1: know the time zone situation in the UK and beyond that,
Speaker 1: you guys can figure it out. But just know that
Speaker 1: we are going to get this thing out to you
Speaker 1: right after the AFT as soon as possible, and then
Speaker 1: again on Saturday, after the completion of the seventh round,

Speaker 1: recap of the draft. So that will be our next
Speaker 1: two shows and we're very excited, uh to bring them
Speaker 1: to should be ready for the morning commute in the UK.
