How you don't say to you, you must say to you how people say,
0:58
how the ba Hey? What's up? Everybody? Happy birthday to anybody
1:11
celebrating a birthday today, and here are a few celebrities that share a birthday
1:15
with you. Actress Reese Witherspoon turns forty eight today. Football player JJ Watt
1:22
is thirty five, actor William Shantner, Captain Kirk himself is ninety three.
1:27
Rick Harrison from Pawn Stars is fifty nine. Author James Pennison is seventy seven.
1:38
We don't have a lot to talk about entertainment wise today. We have
1:41
more sports, but we will be talking Lollapalooza lineup and I'll do my top
1:46
ten. But let's get into some sports talk because there's a lot going on.
1:49
We got updated WrestleMania cards, Chicago Bears news, and CAA tournament.
1:55
March Madness has officially started as of yesterday, So let's go into it and
2:00
kick it off with NFL talk. Justin Justin Fields has officially been traded as
2:07
of last Saturday. I'm not a big fan of this. I have been
2:13
a very big proponent of Justin Fields being the starting quarterback for the Bears for
2:19
at least one more season. I feel like you finally built a team that
2:23
he could possibly succeed with, and then you go and trade him. I'm
2:29
not a huge fan of that. Justin fields. To me, he struggled
2:36
in a lineup that only had at the time one receiver. Okay, his
2:40
second year with Mooney was good for Mooney. He had over a thousand yards,
2:49
but he had nobody else to throw to. And then they got Claypool.
2:53
Claypool was horrible here, you know, I mean, And then we
2:57
finally went and picked up DJ Moore. And then when DJ Moore started making
3:00
catches, Mooney just stopped catching the ball, not because he didn't get throws
3:07
his way, because he played mister butterfingers. And I wasn't even mad that
3:12
Mooney left. I think he got overpaid, you know, I think that
3:16
the Falcons paid way too much. Thirty nine million dollars for three years.
3:21
Bears offered him thirty million for three years, nine year, nine million dollar
3:24
difference. Of course, you know you're gonna test free agency and take a
3:29
bigger deal. Good for Mooney, he fleeced that team because if he's not
3:32
catching even close to one thousand yards. He's not gonna be worth that contract,
3:38
so Moody can leave. That's fine. Bears went and picked up Keenan
3:44
Allen for a fourth round pick. They basically Polls fleeced another team with that
3:50
because I can guarantee Keenan Allen, no matter who throws to him this year,
3:53
is most likely going to have another eleven to twelve hundred yard season.
3:59
Same thing with Moore. So, you know, the Chicago Bears, I
4:04
feel they did right by justin letting him go to Pittsburgh. I think he's
4:08
gonna do great with the Steelers. Russell Wilson's gonna put him, you know,
4:14
behind him and say, look, kid, listen, work with me.
4:16
I'm gonna show you how to be a lot better of a quarterback,
4:21
especially with the passing, because you know, we all know Russell Wilson was
4:25
a mobile quarterback as well. In his day, he could run with the
4:28
best of them, and he still can. But he is getting older.
4:32
But at the same time, I believe that really, if you're justin fields,
4:39
you're going to sit behind him and you are going to watch his every
4:43
move because that's where the Bears lack is developing a quarterback where you could sit
4:48
him out for a year as a rookie and say, okay, kid,
4:51
sit behind this guy and watch them. Who did fields have what he got
4:55
here? Glennon? Was it Mike Glennon or was it Nick Foles? I
5:00
mean, come on, None of these guys are starting type quarterbacks that you
5:04
can learn behind. Okay, Russell Wilson, yes, Aaron Rodgers, Yes,
5:10
Tom Brady, yes, Drew Bledsoe back in the day. Yes,
5:15
Brett Favre back of the day. Yes, these are the type of quarterbacks
5:17
you learn from. Now, not every team can have that quarterback to learn
5:21
from. Okay, you know, I mean Mahometed Alex Smith, and I
5:29
did hear some rumors that the Bears had like four other offers, but because
5:34
Justin wanted to go to Pittsburgh, then they allowed him and said, Okay,
5:40
we're gonna do right by Justin. We're gonna trade him where he wants
5:43
to go. We'll take what we can get for him. All they got
5:45
was a sixth round pick that could turn into a fourth round pick if he
5:49
plays more than half the snaps. But I don't think that's gonna happen unless
5:54
Russell Wilson gets hurt or really just has a band start to the season.
5:59
So yeah, I just want to send a thank you to Justin Fields because
6:03
you went above and beyond for this team. You ran for almost the full
6:11
record. Like literally, he was like what like he was short by how
6:15
many yards for the rushing for a quarterback. I mean, honestly, Justin
6:20
he gave his legs, he gave his arms, he gave everything that he
6:25
had and left it on the table for the Bears. And I feel like
6:29
Justin should have been here for one more season, just one more. You
6:34
could have traded him as a backup. Anybody would take Justin Fields as a
6:39
backup, Okay, I mean Justin could have left if he had a bad
6:45
year this year with the lineup that they had. They could have said,
6:46
okay, we will trade him for whatever you're gonna give us as a backup
6:50
for you, and people would have took him because that's just what people do.
6:55
That's what teams do. They look for a good backup, and he,
6:59
to me, would be a good back up if he would have struggled
7:00
this year with the Bears. But I have a feeling Justin Fields would not
7:05
have struggled in that game, he would have had at least a thirty five
7:12
hundred. I mean, think about it, he almost had three thousand yards
7:15
last year with an injury. Had he not got hurt those four games,
7:18
he most likely would have been in the three thousand yard mark, which would
7:25
have been an improvement for him. So I mean, really, that injury
7:29
did not help. So yeah, if I was the Bears, I would
7:32
have kept him for one more year. But now we move on to what's
7:36
next for the Bears. What's next for the Chicago Bears quarterback wise, Well,
7:42
we know we got the draft company. The draft is here in about
7:46
what thirty days thirty one days from now. It's April twenty fifth, so
7:50
we're at March twenty second right now. Officially spring Chicago Land area actually got
7:56
a dusting of snow this morning, but spring is here. Baseball's already started.
8:01
We got spring training going on. The regular season starts. I'll be
8:05
giving my predictions next week's show because I'll be recording it on Thursday. So
8:11
the season I think officially starts next like Wednesday or Thursday. For the Major
8:15
League Baseball. It's springtime. It's springtime. We are here But now we
8:20
talk NFL draft because now we know that the Bears aren't gonna have justin field,
8:24
So now they are going to have to draft a quarterback. Who are
8:28
they gonna go with. You're gonna get Caleb Williams. Are you gonna get
8:31
Jayden Daniels, Are you gonna get Drake May Are you gonna go outside the
8:35
box and get a Bonix or a JJ McCarthy. We pretty much know where
8:41
the Bears are going. But I did do a top ten mock draft for
8:46
the top ten picks in the NFL this year. Free agents are not free
8:52
agency and the draft coming up, and this is what I ended up with.
8:56
For me, this is what I think is gonna happen because I'm pretty
8:58
sure you know people are talking about, well, what do the Bears really
9:01
need? Well, I'll tell you what the Bear's fore most important needs are.
9:05
And you have to at least answer this through at least the draft or
9:09
the rest of the free agency. I mean, free agents are open now
9:13
for the rest of the year. Now don't forget too close to the season.
9:16
People are going to get released. Also, you know trades, I
9:22
mean you could take capital that you have for the future and trade it for
9:26
and you know what you need. So I mean what we need right now.
9:30
We obviously need a quarterback, which that's going to be handled in the
9:33
draft, and with the number one pick, we need an edge rusher to
9:39
go on the other side of Montest Sweat. We need at least one more
9:45
wide receiver because right now you've got DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, we just
9:50
signed Peedis back, so yeah, Dante Pettis. So you got three right
9:54
there, plus a few other ones that I'm sure still under the roster and
9:58
everything. You still need one more slot receiver because I don't know if that's
10:03
gonna be Dante Pettis, And so I would rather go with two good tight
10:07
ends, which we have, and three good wide receivers and then he got
10:11
a couple of extra receivers you could throw in there. But here's my mock
10:16
draft for the top ten. I only did it for the top ten.
10:18
I'm not doing an entire mock draft for the entire first round. No point
10:24
in that. I only worry about what the top ten is gonna do.
10:26
So here we go. Chicago Bears, obviously number one. I believe they're
10:31
gonna go Caleb Williams. He was just at the Pro day. They just
10:33
did the Pro day for him at USC. He did pretty well from what
10:37
I saw in highlights. I didn't watch the actual thing, but I did
10:41
see highlights. He looked pretty good. But of course he's not in pads.
10:46
He's not having an offensive line and a defensive line trying to hold each
10:48
other back or rush the quarterback. So I mean, yeah, he threw
10:54
from the pocket, but he really didn't because there really wasn't a pocket.
10:56
Okay, there wasn't you know, all these linemen getting pushed towards him,
11:03
you know, and stuff like that. There wasn't an edge rusher coming right
11:07
at him trying to hit him. So I mean, honestly, I mean,
11:13
I wouldn't say he threw from the pocket. I just air quoted the
11:16
pocket with that one, because he wasn't wearing pants or nothing. So yeah,
11:20
So what I'm gonna look at is that Cale Williams, Ryan Poles was
11:24
there, Man Eber Flues and keenan Allen brand new receiver a week into the
11:31
Bears got trained to hear what like last week already in full Bear's gear,
11:37
and at the Pro day, that was awesome. I love Keenan Allen already.
11:41
I'm gonna have to get three jerseys this year, well four maybe,
11:46
and I'm gonna have to spread it out. I need Montese sweat. I'm
11:50
gonna need a Keenan Allen and a DJ Moore because I don't have DJ Moore
11:54
yet. And then I need probably whoever the quarterback is, because I do
12:01
support whoever the quarterback is, and it's most likely gonna be Caleb Williams.
12:05
I'm already hearing rumors through the Grape Vibe that they already told him at the
12:09
pro day that they're gonna sign them, that they're going to bring them in,
12:13
and they're gonna draft them. Now take that with a grain of salt.
12:16
I don't know, you know, I don't have full inside sources like
12:20
a lot of radio shows do. But from what I'm reading and hearing,
12:24
and I believe it was I in Rappaport that reported it, so he is
12:28
a very good insider for the NFL. Did say that they did tell him
12:35
that he is going to be a bear. They already know they're taking them
12:39
so and they didn't even see Jaden Daniels yet. I think he's I'm pretty
12:41
sure he's this week today or if not, let's see, let's see what
12:48
Jaden Daniels pro day is. Let's see here, let's look up his pro
12:56
day really quick, all right, so let's see Comanders go to QB Prode's
13:13
Jade Daniels prote the most intriguing of the cycle. And see, Like I
13:18
said, I mean, look, this is a mock draft, but who
13:20
knows, you know, it could be. Yeah, I believe it's today,
13:28
yep, so you know, we'll see what happens. I mean,
13:31
look, Jadeen Daniels is going either number one or number two. I don't
13:37
see even Drake May going number one or number two. So we already got
13:41
Caleb Williams. I believe the Bears are gonna take him. I'd be shocked
13:45
that it was Jade Daniels Washington number two. They need a QB. They're
13:50
gonna take Jayde and Daniels. They're already had his prote actually I read that
13:54
they're there, so you know they're ready to see him. Number three New
13:58
England. Obviously, New England needs a quo quarterback. Got rid of Mac
14:01
Jones and everything, so they're gonna take Drake May. They're gonna go with
14:05
their white boy quarterback thing. I mean, obviously they had Drew Bledsoe,
14:09
that they had Tom Brady, that they had Mac Jones, so these were
14:16
all the starters. So I mean, I have a feeling we're gonna see
14:20
Drake may be the fourth straight starting white boy for the New England Patriots.
14:26
Let's see Arizona Cardinals coming in number four. They're gonna go wide receiver.
14:30
Of course, they're going Marvin Harrison Junior. I believe he'll be the first
14:33
one gone. I don't think him not working out on Pro Day is gonna
14:37
make a difference. I think he has enough tape to prove what he can
14:41
do, so I don't necessarily think he needed a Pro Day for that.
14:46
But that is kind of divish in a way, and I will call him
14:50
out on that, just like with Caleb Williams canceling his stuff. I think
14:54
that both are a little divish. But when you are the number one prospect
14:58
for wide receiver and then I'm prospect for quarterback, yeah, I think that
15:01
you're gonna be a little diva ish to begin with. Plus, don't forget
15:05
he is Marvin Harrison's son, so you know, I mean you already got
15:11
that going for you going in there. Let's see. Number five is the
15:16
LA Chargers. I believe since they have Herbert and stuff, they don't need
15:20
a quarterback. I think they go offensive line. I don't think they're gonna
15:24
go receiver. I think they feel they're good at receiver. I think they
15:28
need offensive line, so they're gonna go Joe Ault. He's gonna go number
15:31
five. Number six the New York Giants. I believe they're gonna trade with
15:37
the Vikings. Vikings are going to trade somewhere in the top ten. They
15:41
need a quarterback. With Kirk Cousins gone, they're going to take JJ McCarthy.
15:45
I think I believe that the Michigan standout is gonna go to Minnesota and
15:48
play for the Vikings, Which means that as much as I love JJ McCarthy
15:52
for playing and bringing two national championships to my Michigan Wolverines, I believe that
15:58
I'm gonna have to hate them now because he's gonna be a Viking. I'm
16:00
gonna have to watch him get like his ass kicked twice a year. But
16:04
that's okay. I'm okay with that. The Tennessee Titans, they are good
16:11
in all aspects, So I believe they're going to go offensive tackle. I
16:15
think they need one. They need a better offensive line, two to go
16:18
with the quarterback. So they're gonna go alu Fano. I think they say
16:22
is that's how he says his name. So yeah, they're going offensive tackle.
16:26
Number eight. The Atlanta Falcons, they're gonna go edge. I think
16:32
with acquiring Mooney and a few other guys, I think that they're pretty set
16:38
at wide receiver, so they're not gonna go wide receiver. There's no reason
16:42
for them too. You've got two great receivers and then you got Mooney for
16:47
a slot guy. So I think they're pretty good with that. They're gonna
16:49
go with the edge, and they're going with Dallas Turner out of Alabama Chicago
16:53
Bears. Let's see at number nine. Obviously, your offensive tackles are gonna
17:02
be gone by that point. You're gonna lose two of them, and you
17:06
got your quarterback. What do you need? You need a third receiver and
17:10
why not bring in a rookie to learn from Keenan Allen and Dj Moore.
17:14
We don't know if Keenan Allen's gonna be here past the year because his contract's
17:18
up at the end of the year. So you know, if you're not
17:22
sure where they're gonna go, where he's gonna go, you need somebody.
17:26
You know, DJ Moore is locked in a few more years, but you
17:29
don't have Keenan Allen locked in yet. So you're gonna draft a receiver that
17:33
can take over for him when he if he leaves, who knows where he's
17:37
gonna go. And he's not gonna take a pay cut because he already didn't
17:41
take one for La where he was comfortable, so why would he do one
17:45
in Chicago. So yeah, if the Bears want to keep him, they'll
17:48
have to give him a big contract, which is fine because you're gonna be
17:52
on a rookie deal now for quarterback, and you'll have a receiver if you
17:56
get a receiver at a discount too, so you could afford to pay your
18:00
two good wide receivers. You're number one and number two. I think we
18:06
take Roma Dunze. I think either him or Molak Neighbors is not gonna come
18:10
to Chicago. If they're gonna give a Dunze is there, you take him.
18:12
He's I believe the second best receiver. So you're gonna take them.
18:18
New York Jets are number ten, and I believe they will go with wide
18:22
receiver Molakue Neighbors. They need somebody that's gonna go in there and compliment Aaron
18:26
Rodgers. I think he can make a difference starting out right away, as
18:30
long as Aaron can stay injury free this year and everything. But yeah,
18:36
so I believe that that's what's gonna happen. I think Melik Neighbors comes to
18:41
the New York Giants or Jets, that we are going to get Roma Dunze,
18:47
which I believe that will be a pretty decent draft for the Bears for
18:49
those first two. Could the Bears trade the number nine pick. They could.
18:53
They could trade it to move up, They could trade it to move
18:56
back if they really wanted to. There's a bu other good receivers out there
19:00
too, but they're definitely not trading number one. The only way we're trading
19:06
number one is if Washington says, hey, we really really really want to
19:11
get Caleb and we know you guys most likely would take him at number one,
19:17
so you know, we'll swap you this much for the rights to him,
19:21
and you can have Jaden Daniels or whoever else you want. But I
19:23
doubt the Bears do it. I don't think they're gonna do it because I
19:26
don't think Washington or New England's gonna give up enough to get Caleb Williams.
19:32
I don't think they're gonna want to give up a bunch of draft capital for
19:34
one guy, even though he is the generational quotes Again, I don't really
19:42
like the word generational only because I feel when we hear the word generational,
19:49
like I feel like you need to be great right off the bat. Like
19:56
here's what I'm expecting out of Caleb Williams if the Bears draft him. I've
20:00
been telling guys that work this and everything. If Caleb Williams is the Bear's
20:03
pick, which he most likely will be, you better come out being generational.
20:11
Like everyone says you need to come out throwing thirty five hundred yards,
20:15
okay, Like honestly, you need to come out throw in thirty five hundred
20:21
yards on like thirty touchdowns in your first year. You better be Rookie of
20:26
the Year. You better be everything that the Bears never had at that position,
20:32
because if you're not, then Chicago fans are gonna say, oh,
20:37
he's generational. This is crap, we just ruined another quarterback. No,
20:41
I don't think that right now they can ruin another quarterback. I think Poles
20:45
built that offense enough where any quarterback, rookie or veteran should be able to
20:52
come in here and have a decent season with them. I think Justin Fields
20:56
would have. And I really am a proponent of this could have been Justin's
21:02
breakout year with the Bears. And I know always said that last year,
21:07
but I really believe this year would have been it. You know, you
21:10
can't pick up a Keenan Allen with an easy fourth round pick. I mean
21:14
that was an easy trade fourth round pick. And look, people know he's
21:18
good. You can't say, well, maybe he's not that good. Last
21:22
year he had thirteen hundred yards. Let's look at his stats really quick.
21:25
I'll look it up really fast. Let's look at the Keenan Allen stats.
21:27
Because honestly, I'm surprised, and I think I'm wondering if this was a
21:33
dump because of the fact that money wise, he wouldn't take the pay cuts.
21:38
So they're like, well, then we're gonna trade you because we need
21:41
this extra money. So I think that's why they did that. All right,
21:45
So last year with the Chargers he had one and forty three yards and
21:51
seven touchdowns. That's amazing at one hundred and eight catches the year before that.
21:57
Now I'm not looking at how many games played, because these lower seasons
22:00
might have been like less games played. Let's see last year twenty twenty two
22:07
he had or not last year the year before. In twenty twenty two,
22:08
he had sixty six receptions, seven hundred and fifty two yards and four touchdowns.
22:14
The year before that he had one hundred and six catches for one thousand,
22:18
one hundred and thirty eight yards and six touchdowns. Twenty twenty he had
22:22
one hundred catches for nine hundred and ninety two yards and eight touchdowns. A
22:26
year before that one hundred and four catches for one thousand and one ninety nine
22:30
and six touchdowns. Twenty eighteen, ninety seven catches for one thousand, one
22:37
hundred and ninety six yards and six touchdowns, twenty seventeen one hundred and two
22:41
yards, or one hundred and two catches for one thousand and three ninety three
22:45
and six touchdowns. Twenty sixteen he had six catch six catches only I'm guessing
22:52
he got hurt for sixty three yards. That was probably one game. Twenty
22:56
and fifteen he had sixty seven catches for seven hundred twenty five yards and four
23:00
touchdowns. Twenty fourteen he had seventy seven catches for seven hundred and eighty three
23:07
yards and four touchdowns. And his rookie year, now, remember he's been
23:11
with the Chargers his entire career. His rookie year with the Chargers twenty thirteen,
23:17
he had seventy one catches for one thousand, forty six yards at eight
23:21
touchdowns. In his career, nine hundred and four total catches, ten five
23:26
hundred and thirty yards and fifty nine touchdowns. So not bad at all.
23:30
Okay, not bad at all, because if you look at Dj Moore,
23:33
let's look at the other Big Bears wide receiver DJ Moore stants in his first
23:38
one, two, three, four or five six seasons in the NFL.
23:42
Last year with the Bears, best season ever, and guess who was throwing
23:47
them justin fields ninety six receptions, one three hundred and sixty four yards and
23:52
eight touchdowns. Last year, his last year in Carolina twenty twenty two,
23:56
he had sixty three receptions for eight hundred and eighty eight years. I'll remember
24:00
in Carolina he was in even the first option. He wasn't the number one
24:06
guy. I don't even think he was number two. I'm pretty sure he
24:08
was like number three. Okay, it was like two and three. He
24:15
wasn't even number one. So he had sixty three catches or sixty three catches
24:19
for eight hundred and eighty eight yards and seven touchdowns. In his last year
24:22
in Carolina, twenty twenty one, he had ninety three catches for one one
24:29
hundred and fifty seven yards and four touchdowns. Twenty twenty he had sixty six
24:33
catches for one one d ninety three. Now look at this, twenty twenty
24:40
one Dj Moore and ninety three catches for one thousand, one hundred and fifty
24:44
seven yards. The year before that, twenty twenty, had sixty six catches,
24:48
so twenty seven less catches for the year, but more yardage one and
24:55
ninety three yards. That's amazing. And then the year before that twenty nineteen,
25:02
eighty seven catches and seventy five yards and four touchdowns. And then his
25:07
rookie year fifty five catches, seven eighty eight and two touchdowns. So he's
25:11
got sixty five hundred yards catching already and twenty nine touchdowns in his career and
25:17
he's only been in the league six years. So we have a very decent
25:22
core of wide receivers if you add in a rookie like Adunze or even Neighbors.
25:26
Because when I went over that list of the top ten, you all
25:32
have to worry about the first nine, and really you get number one and
25:34
number nine, so you really all have to worry about picks two to three
25:38
eight and picks two three eight, Where three receivers is gonna go in that
25:45
timeframe? Most likely not because a lot of teams don't go by best available,
25:49
they go by what they need. Obviously, if you don't need a
25:52
receiver, why would you pick up a receiver. You're not gonna pick up
25:56
a rookie receiver who's gonna be great to just ride the bench or be a
26:00
third, fourth or fifth option. Every time. Well, I'll give you
26:07
a fourth or fifth option because they may be a slot receiver of their first
26:11
year. Because if Neighbors or a Donze come here, they're not going to
26:15
be a number one or number two off the bat because you already have that
26:18
with DJ Moore and Keenan Allen. You have a guy last year that caught
26:22
for thirteen hundred yards and DJ Moore and a guy who caught at twelve hundred
26:26
yards at freaking you know, number two. So why would you need your
26:33
rookie to come in at number one or two? You don't. He's gonna
26:37
be your slot. He's gonna be a guy that's gonna probably pick up about
26:40
seven hundred yards in his first year to go along with two guys who are
26:45
probably gonna get around eleven twelve hundred yards apiece. If you have the quarterback
26:49
to do it. That's Caleb Williams. I want to talk really quick about
26:52
the best free agent spots that are left. I got this list a few
26:59
days ago, so it could have been updated by now. I'm not sure,
27:03
so we'll see. But let's look into this really quick. We're gonna
27:07
look at the list of the top free agents that are still left because there's
27:12
not a lot of them. There's not as many as there were. So
27:19
let's see ranking the best landing spots. So let's see what we got here,
27:25
ranking best landing spots for the top ten remaining free agents. So let's
27:33
see number ten is Javanian Clowney to the Carolina Panthers. This is what they're
27:40
thinking that he could be. Panthers finished last in Saxon twenty twenty three.
27:44
That's an aspect of former top overall pick can help address, especially after tailing
27:48
nine and a half sacks with Baltimore last season. I wish the Bears would
27:55
go after him. I mean, we still need one more edge, so
27:57
if we if for some reason Dallas Turner is still there, they may even
28:03
do that. So let's see number nine and Andreas Pete to the Philadelphia Eagles.
28:10
It says the Eagles secured Landon Dickerson to a lucrative contract extension, they
28:15
might have a soft spot on their vaunted offensive line at right guard, so
28:21
second year player Taylor Steen Tyler Steen is projected to take over Number eight.
28:26
Jamal Adams to the Indianapolis Colts. Three times safety failed to live up to
28:30
the four year, seventy million dollar contract he signed with the Seattle Seahawks.
28:37
He never completed a season in Seattle and sued up for only ten games.
28:41
If he can remain healthy, he can help the Colts team that ranked twenty
28:45
fourth in rushing yards allow per game last season. However, paying him a
28:49
seventeen point five million dollars annual salary is an overpaid. Number seven Randy Gregory
28:56
to the Atlanta Falcons after playing only five games in twenty twenty two. Gregory
29:00
played sixteen for the Denver Broncos and the San Francisco forty nine Ers last season,
29:06
so he could end up going to Atlanta. Number six Ryan Tannehill.
29:10
The Chicago Bears trading Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers means the Bears will select
29:15
a quarterback with the first overall pick, but they're not confident in starting the
29:18
rookie from day one. Tannehill can be a better insurance policy than Tyson Bagent
29:23
or Brett Rippin. According to spot Trek, the Bears have enough cap room
29:29
to accommodate the veteran quarterback with a four point nine million dollar market value.
29:33
I'd probably take them, but I wouldn't start them. Look, if you're
29:37
gonna get Caleb Williams, look you're gonna start up day one. It's just
29:41
how it is. But I wouldn't mind having a veteran backup that can help
29:45
him and if he sees him doing something, he can be like, okay,
29:49
you know this is what you're doing wrong. Number five Odell Beckham Junior
29:53
to the New York Jets. That makes sense. You know, Aaron Rodgers,
29:57
he likes his wide receiver to to be able to throw two, especially
30:02
brand new shiny ones. Odell Beckham Junior, he's an established receiver. There
30:08
you go. He would probably be a good fit. Xavi and Howard to
30:12
the Chargers. Well, Howard isn't the interception leader anymore. He's still a
30:15
solid pass defender who tellied forty five tackles in twelve pass deflections last season.
30:21
Jim Harbaugh could use his presence in the chargers revamped defense. They could use
30:26
a portion of their thirty eight point seven million dollars caproom to acquire the two
30:30
time All Pro. Let's see number three David Bocarty to the Tennessee Titans.
30:37
A reunion between them and Aaron Rodgers is possible. The Jets signed Tyron Smith
30:44
at the All Pro left tackle. However, David makes sense for the Titans
30:49
as they build around the young quarterback will leave us. So there you go.
30:55
You know, Will Leavis is there. They do need offensive help.
30:57
I think they're gonna take a tackle in the draft, but they could also
31:02
use him as a tackle too. Mike Williams number two to the New England
31:06
Patriots. Pitch's offensive revamp goes beyond the quarterback. They must also add more
31:11
talent ad wide receiver after finishing twenty eighth in passing yards, so he makes
31:15
sense there. And number one Justin Simmons to the La Rams. Simmons could
31:19
have remained a Bronco for life if not for Russell Wilson's massive cap hit.
31:25
But even as he turns thirty one, he remains one of the game's best
31:27
safeties. He became a twenty twenty three second team All Pro member after tallying
31:33
seventy tackles, three interceptions on two pass deflections. The Rams can give him
31:37
a chance at making the playoffs, something he never experienced in Denver. He
31:42
also fills a position of need in the Rams secondary. So those are the
31:47
remaining free agents, the probably bigger name ones that are still out there.
31:52
We'll see where they end up if they haven't already in the last couple of
31:56
days since I got the article. Let's look really quick at Chicago Bears twenty
32:04
twenty four opponents, because we're already through pretty much free agency. We're going
32:08
into the draft in thirty days from now, so we've got a month left
32:12
until the draft. So, well, who are the Bears facing next year?
32:15
Who could Caleb Williams if he comes to Chicago possibly be facing next year?
32:20
Well, the schedule's not set, but the games are. We already
32:23
know who they'll face. So home games we already know the Bears will face,
32:29
of course Detroit, Green Bay and Minnesota as always, and then they're
32:32
also going to play at home the Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, the
32:37
Jacksonville Jaguars, the Tennessee Titans, the Carolina Panthers, and the New England
32:43
Patriots. Away from home, the Bears will of course played Detroit, Green
32:47
Bay and Minnesota, but they will also travel to Arizona, San Francisco,
32:53
Houston Texans, the Inaneapolis Colts, and the Washington Commanders. So those are
32:59
the teams that will play this year. The Bears, in their NFC North
33:02
rivals, will play, of course, all four teams from the NFC West
33:07
this year. They're gonna play the Cardinals, the forty nine Ers, the
33:09
Rams, and the Seahawks and the AFC South. They'll play the Colts,
33:13
the Jaguars, Texans, and Titans in twenty twenty four. Now, you
33:19
want to hear something great, The Bears are going to play their rookie quarterback
33:24
against a second year player with Houston and C. J. Stroud. So
33:30
that's gonna be cool. Now, wouldn't that have been awesome? If the
33:35
Bears would have kept justin fields, it could have been Stroud versus Fields,
33:39
that would have been amazing. Every NFC team plays nine home games and eight
33:45
road contests in twenty twenty four and all even numbered years, and eight home
33:50
games and nine row games to odd numbered years. And I believe also the
33:54
Bears are going to travel to Europe and play in Europe this year in at
34:02
least one game, so I believe that's one of their home games. So
34:07
that's I think how it's gonna go. So yeah, that's the NFL football
34:12
talk for this episode. We're not gonna talk anymore NFL today. We will
34:17
be doing some you know, talking about I think football is gonna cool off
34:22
for a few weeks now. I mean, I'll still talk if there's news,
34:24
but really technically, I mean, if you think about it. There's
34:28
not gonna be a ton of news for the Bears right now. We could
34:30
do some little fun mock drafts and stuff maybe, but that's about it.
34:35
So let's look up. Let's see the WrestleMania card. That's right, WrestleMania
34:40
nine one and two is looking pretty decent. They don't really have everything,
34:46
but let's look at the updated WrestleMania card. Let's see what we got here,
34:54
because things are obviously update. So with SmackDown tonight, obviously everybody knows
35:00
if you watch Rustling that tonight, Cody Rhoads will confront Roman Rains one on
35:07
one. There was Paul Hayman guaranteed. No other Bloodline members will be there.
35:14
It's just going to be the one on one talking with each other getting
35:16
hyped up for their match. Night one confirm matches, of course, Cody
35:22
Roads and south Isllans versus The Rock and Roman Rains. If you haven't seen
35:24
it, Cody Rhodes roasted The Rock on Monday Night, go watch it.
35:29
It is hilarious. He did get permission to swear because they wanted it to
35:32
be very realistic, and it was. It was amazing. That's the only
35:39
confirmed match so far for Night one. Night two confirm match is the undisputed
35:45
WW Universal Championship Roman Rains versus Cody Rhodes. Obviously, if Cody and Seth
35:52
win the night before, Cody will have a clean match with just Roman.
35:57
If Cody and Seth lose, it will be bloodlined, which means that anybody
36:00
can interfere. Anything can happen, no rules, So that's gonna obviously.
36:08
I can't see them not having the Rock and Rollman win for that, because
36:15
who wants to really watch just the one on one match for a title.
36:17
I mean, the element of people coming down is the fun part of a
36:22
major match like that. I know somebody like Oh Roman always has the cheat
36:27
to win. He's a heel. That's what heels do. Obviously, Hello,
36:30
welcome to wrestling. You must be new. If you don't know that,
36:34
let's see, let's go uh. Night two also confirmed is the World
36:37
Heavyweight Championships South of Rollins putting his title on the line against Drew McIntyre.
36:44
If you don't follow Drew McIntyre on TikTok, go follow him because he does
36:49
awesome promos on his TikTok. It's great, he's awesome. Drew McIntyre.
36:55
I'll be given my predictions for all the matches there are. There actually talk
37:00
about fourteen total matches between two nights. That would be awesome. That would
37:05
be a star studded packed WrestleMania. I would love it. So let's see
37:13
WrestleMania confirm matches without a date yet for Night one or two. They would
37:17
be Women's Championship Eo Sky versus Bailey. That's gonna be a good one.
37:22
Let's see Women's World Championship Rial Ripley versus Becky Lynch. That's gonna be a
37:28
good one too. Intercontinental Championship good third, the Champion versus Sammy's Aim.
37:34
I think that's gonna be a good match. This was just announced on Friday
37:37
Night last week. United States Championship logan Paul will put his title online in
37:44
a triple threat versus Randy Orton and Kevin Owens, and they have made it
37:47
official. Jimmy Usso versus Jay Usso. Jimmy Usso came out and he said,
37:53
yes, he's gonna accept. Let's see the undisputed w w WE Tag
38:00
Team Championship match in a six pack ladder match. Judgment Day will defend their
38:06
titles versus Dy The New Day, Awesome Truth, and then two more teams
38:12
to be determined. Now, I believe on SmackDown there's gonna be a match
38:19
coming up this week. There's still gonna be one open spot. So could
38:24
we see a return of the Hardy Boys? Could we see a return of
38:28
the Dudley Boys there? Dudley Boys are going to be wrestling in Philadelphia that
38:34
weekend, so there's a chance that could be the sixth team in that match
38:40
to get the crowd popped and everybody would pop. Dudley Boys coming back would
38:46
be amazing. That will be awesome. Hardy Boys probably not, because Jeff
38:51
is still on a contract with aw Matt Hardy, I believe is not.
38:55
He was at Raw the other night. So I believe we are going to
39:00
see a reunion of Matt and Jeff and the WWE for one last maybe small
39:04
run of matches, and then they're gonna retire. And I say maybe next
39:07
year they'll go into the Hall of Fame. I think there are no their
39:12
careers coming to an end, and they want to do it in WWE where
39:15
they got their major start. So that'll be awesome. It says the Judgment
39:19
Day have their plates full. Raw General Manager Adam Pierce and SmackDown General Manager
39:22
Nick All this announced a six pack ladder match for the tag titles at WrestleMania.
39:28
Forty three Raw teams and two SmackDown teams will qualify for the match in
39:31
the coming weeks. D WY, The New Day, and Awesome Truth all
39:36
qualify for the match by winning their matches on Raw. Legato, Dave Fastama
39:42
and New Catch Republic advance to the finals of the SmackDown Qualifier. Street Profits
39:47
versus Author of Payne and the OC versus Awesome Theory and Grayson Waller will set
39:52
SmackDown Second Qualifier finals. So I don't think there will be a spot left.
39:57
All we'll see. It'll be awesome if they did. That'd be cool.
40:00
La Knight and aj Styles. That's gonna be a match too. That's
40:07
confirmed. Now here's some predictions for possible matches. Women's Tag Team Championship match,
40:13
the Kaboogie Warriors versus Bianca Bellair and Naomi. I could see that.
40:17
That'd be awesome and that's it. So that's the last prediction so far.
40:22
We will see more matches added in the next two weeks. I can't believe
40:27
we are two weeks away from Russell Media. It's crazy how fast it goes.
40:30
All right, let's talk n C Double A tournament. That's right,
40:34
it is here, n C DOUBLEA March madness. The madness is going crazy
40:38
right now. The games are on all day today and all night tonight,
40:44
and then of course the second round of the tournament starts tomorrow on Saturday and
40:50
Sunday, so we'll see what happens. But here's some of the teams that
40:54
won yesterday. Let's see. You gotta go through this list. I'll tell
41:01
you if I won or lost on these games. Debuste and number eleven b
41:07
Byu, I picked them to win it. They did. Illinois fighting a
41:14
line I won yesterday over Morehead State. I picked them. Number ten Drake
41:20
lost to number seven Washington State. I picked was Drake, so I lost
41:23
that one. Iowa State Number two defeated number fifteen South Dakota State yesterday.
41:30
I picked ISU to win that one. UNC University of North Carolina won ninety
41:36
to sixty two over Wagner. The number sixteen seed. I picked North Carolina
41:42
and they went on. Number eight. Mississippi State lost to number nine Michigan
41:46
State, sixty nine fifty one. I predicted that one. Let's see,
41:55
let's see the number seven, Dayton beat number ten Nevada, sixty three to
42:00
sixty. I picked Dayton to win that one. Let's see number two Arizona
42:07
won eighty five to sixty five over number fifteen Long Beach State. Let's see
42:16
number five Gonzaga won eighty six to sixty five over number twelve McNeese. I
42:22
picked that one. And Kansas won ninety three to eighty nine over Samford ninety
42:28
three to eighty nine. Was the final there, and I picked Kansas in
42:31
that one. Number six South Carolina got upset by number eleven Oregon eighty seven
42:37
to seventy three. I did not pick that one right. And then number
42:42
three Creighton one seventy seven to sixty over number fourteen Akron, and I picked
42:49
that one. So Tennessee went on in that one. Crighton went out of
42:53
that one. Then let's see so number seven text one, fifty six to
43:02
forty four over Colorado State. I picked them, and number two Tennessee one
43:07
eighty three to forty nine over number fifteen Saint Peter's and I picked them too.
43:14
There are a bunch of games going on today. Of course, let's
43:16
see what we got going on today, but by now, obviously a lot
43:23
of these games are probably over. By the time you're hearing this, you
43:27
kind of Number one play Stetson right now. At this point while I'm recording
43:34
FYU or FAU. Number eight is up on Northwestern sixteen to twelve in the
43:39
first court in the first half. Let's see San Diego State plays UAB today
43:51
Auburn and Yale against Yale. Let's see Saint Mary's Number five takes on Grand
44:00
Canyon at nine oh five. Tonight, Alabama plays at six thirty five versus
44:05
Charleston. Clemson takes on New Mexico tonight or today at two ten. Baylor
44:13
is on right now beating Colgate twenty one to eight in the first quarter.
44:20
Let's see Houston plays Longwood tonight at A twenty. Nebraska at five point fifteen
44:25
to night plays Texas A and M. Wisconsin plays eight to forty to night
44:31
against James Madison. Duke plays six ten tonight versus Vermont. Let's see three
44:38
thirty today is Florida and Colorado, and Marquette plays Western Kentucky at one pm.
44:46
Perdue. Number one takes on number sixteen, Grambling and that is at
44:52
six twenty five pm. Utah State plays TCU at eight fifty five and that's
45:02
it. So those are the games today and then tomorrow of course, and
45:06
Sunday is the second round of the tournament. So crazy, how quick it's
45:10
gonna go. It's gonna be this weekend Thursday, Friday, Saturday Sunday.
45:15
Next weekend Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Yeah, so it's gonna
45:21
be. And then I believe the final four is Russell Mania weekend, and
45:28
then the National Championship is that Monday night. So we'll see who wins the
45:32
national championship in basketball. All right, let's get into this. I'm excited.
45:37
Lollapalooza has finally announced their lineup for this summer. And let's see if
45:44
any of these acts are people you would like. So here is the complete
45:49
lineup for Lollapalooza in Grant Park. It's in Chicago, Illinois, August first
45:54
through the fourth of twenty twenty four. Here's the headliners. Okay, now,
46:00
they have not announced dates yet of when they're going to perform and who's
46:04
gonna be at what date and everything. They have not said any of that.
46:07
This is just going to be who's going to be there. I will
46:09
name off everybody on this list, and there's a lot, but there might
46:15
be somebody that you like there. The headliners are going to be Sizza Tyler,
46:21
The Creator, Blank One Two, The Killers, Future Ex, Metro
46:28
Bowman, Josier Stray Kids, Melanie Martinez and Scrillicks. Those are the headliners.
46:38
Also the Deftones, Tate McRae, Loufi, Conan Gray, Renee Rapp,
46:49
Lizzie mcfillan, Zed Fisher, Z's Dead, Dominic Fuch, Laborius Pierce,
46:59
the Veil, Fay Webster, Victoria Monet, Sexy Red, Teddy Swims,
47:07
Benson Boone, Jungle, Tudor, Cinema Club, Ivy Killer, Mike,
47:16
Vince Staples, Kesha, Oh wow, I didn't even see Kesha's like
47:21
in small Print, TV Girl, Galaxus, Mo, Chuck, Black Tiger,
47:29
Sex Machine, Hippo, Campus Fourteen, Loud Luxury, Kevin Abstract,
47:37
Nathaniel Kane, Screaming, Benga Chappelle, Rowan White Fang, Ray, Meghan
47:46
Maroney, Sir Ben Bauman, Cannon's T twenty Touchdown, Don Diablo, the
47:57
Last Dinner Party, David Rule, Let's see Walker and Royce, Kenny beats
48:07
tyler A. Look the Japanese House. There's so many of them on here.
48:14
Queen Herbie Bristol Moroney. It's amazing because this is all the people who
48:20
are gonna be there in four days. That's Thursday, Friday, Saturday and
48:22
Sunday. It's insane. Honestly, I can't even read how many names are
48:29
out here. It would take forever. Like if you want to see the
48:31
rest, I mean, none of them are huge, but you may like
48:35
these groups. Just go check out Lallapalooza's website. Once they release the list
48:40
of all the bands that are gonna be there every night, I'm gonna go
48:45
over that. They should be releasing that probably like around maysh they'll release that
48:49
list. But yeah, Lollapalooza is gonna be good. I think it's gonna
48:53
be decent. It's a pretty decent lineup. I didn't even realize Kesha was
48:58
gonna be there, but she's in the little that's insane that she's considered a
49:02
little print now. But yeah, definitely definitely check out Altapaloza. That's gonna
49:08
be amazing. Next week's show, I'm gonna go over the I Heard Radio
49:15
Music Awards are Monday, April first, so we're gonna go over the nominees
49:20
for all the awards in that because I don't believe I did that last week,
49:24
because I remember saying, oh, I heard Radio Wars, I don't
49:28
even tell April first. So we'll go over that next week and talk about
49:31
that. Right now, I want to do really quick to on the show
49:36
my top ten list. This. I figured this is perfect because my kids
49:42
and a lot of your kids are gonna be on spring break the next few
49:45
weeks, depending on your school district and colleges. I know some already had
49:50
spring break, some are having it, you know, in the next few
49:52
weeks or whatever. So I got this idea from my friend Pam. She
50:01
commented on my top ten list of what I should do for top ten lists,
50:06
and I figure, this is perfect. She's a school teacher and she's
50:10
got her spring break next week, and so I was like, why not?
50:15
So she was the one, So thank you pay them for this one.
50:17
It's top ten spring break destinations. This is perfect for college kids or
50:22
for families that just want to take their kids somewhere fun. But remember a
50:27
lot of these are probably for college, because Las Vegas did not pop up
50:31
on this list, but that would probably be number eleven on the list.
50:35
But here's the top ten places the spring goes spring break. Top number ten
50:39
is Porto Violtra that is number ten. Number nine is the Bahamas. Number
50:45
eight is Puerto Rico. Number seven is Playa des Carmen. Number six is
50:52
Jamaica, which is actually funny because my second daughter, she's actually my stepdaughter,
51:00
but I always call her my daughter. She's going to Jamaica in next
51:07
weekend for her birthday, so she's going to a spring break destination that came
51:10
to number six and not even for spring break. She's like twenty seven,
51:15
so she's not in college anymore or anything like that, and she's going.
51:20
So let's see number five, South Padre Island, Number four Cabo San Lucas,
51:25
Mexico. Number three cs the Key, number two Miami Beach, and
51:31
the number one location to go for spring break. Pretty sure everybody knows this
51:36
one can coom so definitely check out some of those places. If you're a
51:39
young college kid and want to go on spring break somewhere fun, check that
51:44
out. But I'm gonna take off for the week. Next week, We're
51:47
gonna talk about the iHeart Music Awards that are going on the next week on
51:52
Monday, and we'll talk about the nominees for that. We're also gonna talk
51:57
I'll do another Toime ten list next week, but we're also gonna do more
52:00
sports stuff. NCAA tournament. We'll talk about who's in that round, who
52:07
won in the rounds before that, and of course we'll talk about the round
52:12
I believe that's already what the Sweet sixteen that weekend. Wow, that's the
52:16
Sweet sixteen and the Elite eight, So we'll be talking about that already,
52:21
and then other stuff. We'll have by that an updated WrestleMania card. By
52:28
then there should be some more matches added to that, and then we'll talk
52:32
about other stuff, you know, maybe some more Bears news, if there's
52:35
anything going on. It's gonna be a little bit of a lull with the
52:37
Bears in the NFL right now because we're in the middle of like free agency
52:43
and the draft. There. This is the point where there's not probably much
52:46
to talk about anymore with it until the draft is over, and then we
52:51
could start talking about divisions and who's gonna win divisions because we'll know who's the
52:55
free agents. We're gonna know who's gonna be on the teams, who their
53:00
quarterbacks are, who they drafted. So a lot of fun stuff coming up
53:05
after the draft. But you know, if there's some news, we'll talk
53:07
about it. Until then. I'll see everybody later. Enjoy this beautiful Well,
53:13
