Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: This case by Sean O'Connell's show, You're a home of
- 0:07Speaker 1: a besting side of your utes. Let's get back to
- 0:10Speaker 1: oc from the Murdoch Chevrolet Studio of ESPN seven hundred
- 0:14Speaker 1: and ninety two to one.
- 0:15Speaker 2: A f am all.
- 0:24Speaker 3: Right, A couple of things of note tier if you're
- 0:26Speaker 3: a Utah fan. The must lottery is now open, so

- 0:51Speaker 3: the Utah Mamatha rolling out a new tusk mug available
- 0:56Speaker 3: at Games tonight only for beer, and it is exactly
- 1:00Speaker 3: what you think it is. It is a mug shape
- 1:02Speaker 3: like a tusk, and that's something that our next guest
- 1:05Speaker 3: would love to drink out of.
- 1:06Speaker 4: Jeff Schwartz is on a beach somewhere.
- 1:09Speaker 3: On a vacation because that's all he does, but he's
- 1:12Speaker 3: still kind enough to join us.
- 1:14Speaker 4: Hey, Jeff, he.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Went on a fishing fision this morning with four hours
- 1:20Speaker 2: and didn't catch one fish. I'm not even closed to anything.
- 1:22Speaker 2: It was very it was it was with six kids
- 1:27Speaker 2: on board for four hours. The last two hours were
- 1:30Speaker 2: quite difficult. You can imagine that is terrible.
- 1:33Speaker 3: I've only had good fishing experiences on the ocean, so
- 1:37Speaker 3: I keep them few and far between because I never
- 1:40Speaker 3: want to get skunked and have that bad story.
- 1:43Speaker 4: That's no fun. I'm sorry that happened.
- 1:46Speaker 2: It wasn't funny. I don't like to fish for this
- 1:49Speaker 2: exact reason. I don't have the patience for it. We
- 1:52Speaker 2: did get to do a little two of the waters
- 1:54Speaker 2: and whatnot, but I felt back to the kids who
- 1:56Speaker 2: were so excited for my son loves to fish like
- 2:00Speaker 2: the fish as the beach and the fish. I went
- 2:01Speaker 2: to Seattle and ef fish in Seattle when we were
- 2:04Speaker 2: there in the fall, like loved fishing salmon and love it.
- 2:07Speaker 2: And I fum back to them as they got stumped out.
- 2:10Speaker 2: But you know, so much as life.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Uh. We were just talking about the Joe Thomas decision
- 2:16Speaker 3: to go fishing instead of attending the draft because Frenana Mendoza,
- 2:20Speaker 3: I guess, is not going to do the draft. If
- 2:23Speaker 3: you had been a projected first rounder, what would you
- 2:26Speaker 3: have been doing on draft day because you're not the
- 2:28Speaker 3: type to go get all dressed up and sit around
- 2:30Speaker 3: to wait for a hug from Roger Goodell.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Well, thank you. Pol don't have to worry about that asision.
- 2:36Speaker 2: I uh, I probably would have. I'm really surprised when
- 2:39Speaker 2: good is not going. I do wonder if the NFL
- 2:44Speaker 2: like ask him to reconsider, you know, like part of
- 2:48Speaker 2: the deal is is this right, Like you're a franchise
- 2:52Speaker 2: quarterback now you're an one think in the draft a
- 2:54Speaker 2: lot of time it's going to happen.
- 2:55Speaker 5: This happened.
- 2:55Speaker 2: I think it was was Trevor Lawrence was a kind
- 2:58Speaker 2: of like a come situation or I was twenty twenty one,
- 3:00Speaker 2: I think, and maybe not everyone was going, But I
- 3:03Speaker 2: don't know, man, I just I feel like it's a
- 3:07Speaker 2: pretty sure have to just accept that this is your
- 3:11Speaker 2: sort of fate now, right, Like you're a Francis quarterback
- 3:13Speaker 2: and part of that is being in a vent like this,
- 3:15Speaker 2: and so it's disappointed to see that he's not going
- 3:18Speaker 2: to go. And I get that someone is your family,
- 3:21Speaker 2: but you already know you're gonna be the first pick
- 3:23Speaker 2: in draft. It's really anytime you want you know he
- 3:26Speaker 2: can someone gun after right when you can tell them
- 3:28Speaker 2: whenever you want. I'm just surprised no one has been like, bro,
- 3:33Speaker 2: we kind of need you there, man, I mean to
- 3:34Speaker 2: have it doesn't feel weird to treat the draft and
- 3:38Speaker 2: the first thing that's not going to be there.
- 3:40Speaker 3: It is a little bit strange, Like I'm fine with
- 3:43Speaker 3: it because then the second pick will probably be there
- 3:47Speaker 3: and the third pick will probably be there whatever. But
- 3:50Speaker 3: uh yeah, it just it feels like the Fernando Mendoza
- 3:53Speaker 3: personality story is going to be a lot of fun
- 3:56Speaker 3: to digest because instead he's going to be like sitting
- 3:59Speaker 3: on a count with his mommy, and that fits his personality.
- 4:03Speaker 2: So well, yeah, I the person I think I'm kind
- 4:07Speaker 2: of curious about, you know, because you know, I think
- 4:12Speaker 2: it's real. But you know, Sean, let's say there there
- 4:18Speaker 2: are four nine you know, at one point this year
- 4:21Speaker 2: and he does sort of like the aw shucks thing
- 4:24Speaker 2: after they lose a game. I'm not going to play
- 4:27Speaker 2: with Max Crowsley in the locker room, you know, like.
- 4:31Speaker 1: That.
- 4:32Speaker 2: It's sort of fun to be that guy when you're winning.
- 4:36Speaker 2: And then we saw that with with Russell Wilson, right
- 4:38Speaker 2: when they were winning that all shucks. Like I'm Russell Wilson,
- 4:42Speaker 2: I'm very sort of you know, will forny robotic with
- 4:46Speaker 2: the way I talk, and what I say is it's
- 4:49Speaker 2: great when things are going well. And doesn't go well, right,
- 4:53Speaker 2: it quickly turned against him. So I'm not saying that
- 4:56Speaker 2: that'sman does us track here? But I am going to
- 5:00Speaker 2: sort of follow along with his personality. He's sort of
- 5:02Speaker 2: like too young to be to like kind of be
- 5:05Speaker 2: like this sort of pcoming personality. So oh no, man,
- 5:10Speaker 2: I am. I am kind of curious to see how
- 5:12Speaker 2: this develops over his career, whether or not you know,
- 5:14Speaker 2: he can sustain a career sort of awesocks mentality about
- 5:21Speaker 2: about football.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Well, I'm I'm curious to see how that plays out also,
- 5:25Speaker 3: But I think, I mean, we saw a little bit
- 5:29Speaker 3: people weren't putting a lot of microphones in Bernana Mendoza's
- 5:32Speaker 3: face when he was at Cal, so we have some
- 5:34Speaker 3: sample of what it looks like for him when he's
- 5:36Speaker 3: not winning every single game. I also think that his
- 5:39Speaker 3: like kind of like inspirational self help personality. Part of
- 5:44Speaker 3: that comes from he doesn't have questions to answer, you
- 5:47Speaker 3: know what I mean? Like, Hey, Bernanda, how come you
- 5:49Speaker 3: guys were so good in this game? And he's got
- 5:51Speaker 3: to be like, oh, my teammates are the best in
- 5:53Speaker 3: the world. When there's something to actually answer, like you
- 5:56Speaker 3: miss this. You guys didn't get this conversion when you
- 5:59Speaker 3: need did it whatever? I think he'll be capable and
- 6:02Speaker 3: fine to like actually have that conversation instead of finding
- 6:06Speaker 3: something to fill the time. Otherwise it's just him Like
- 6:09Speaker 3: this whole year was just like, wow, you guys are
- 6:11Speaker 3: really good, and you had to find a bunch of
- 6:13Speaker 3: different ways to say yeah.
- 6:14Speaker 4: We are.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Yeah. So accountability is really important to a lot of us.
- 6:23Speaker 2: And that's why I think sometimes and I get in
- 6:26Speaker 2: trouble saying this in Salt Lake City, but we're talking
- 6:30Speaker 2: about before and on our shows, like sometimes guys sort
- 6:34Speaker 2: of still responsibility by using religion the way to do it.
- 6:39Speaker 2: And it's frustrated to me sometimes when I see players
- 6:43Speaker 2: and they just you know, they're asked about a certain
- 6:46Speaker 2: player or a bad performance and they just say something
- 6:49Speaker 2: like this, you know what guys say that happens, right,
- 6:52Speaker 2: And I didn't note that, man, Like, you know, you
- 6:55Speaker 2: don't think responsibility when you have when you have bad
- 6:58Speaker 2: things happened to you. And there are quarterbacks, they're prominent players.
- 7:01Speaker 2: They just don't do that and sold the locker room man,
- 7:04Speaker 2: not a responsibility. Like, we're all miss together. We all
- 7:07Speaker 2: make mistakes, we all make airs. And I have a
- 7:11Speaker 2: slight concern about that with Mendoza. Not a lot, but
- 7:14Speaker 2: like you know, I just I do think there are
- 7:17Speaker 2: some players that have sort of that position and had
- 7:19Speaker 2: trouble in the locker room over the years. But he's
- 7:22Speaker 2: not thinking astountability man, Like we all just we.
- 7:24Speaker 5: All want to win.
- 7:24Speaker 2: We're all in this together. We all want to be
- 7:27Speaker 2: the winners together. And if you make a mistake, it's fine.
- 7:29Speaker 2: I mean, the sake happened. We're all I'm making mistakes.
- 7:32Speaker 2: You made the mistakes, we all made mistakes. Just sort
- 7:35Speaker 2: of own it. Sometimes I do wonder if if that
- 7:38Speaker 2: might play well at some point on his career. I
- 7:40Speaker 2: don't know. But you hadn't had to do any of
- 7:42Speaker 2: that land they were so good. He had to be
- 7:44Speaker 2: like my my fault. I made to say it's happened
- 7:46Speaker 2: to Indiana.
- 7:47Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Uh.
- 7:49Speaker 4: You mentioned Kirk Cousins a second ago.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Why why is every player in the NFL not calling
- 7:55Speaker 3: his agent to be like, you're my guy.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Now, like me, that's his agent, was one of my agents.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Why I played as well. You know it's so interesting
- 8:05Speaker 2: about I have you mentioned it because you know we
- 8:08Speaker 2: we talk a lot about about, uh, the guarantee prontact
- 8:15Speaker 2: in the NFL. Right, just Don Watson got that guaranteed
- 8:16Speaker 2: deal with the Bradley haven't had a quarterback get that
- 8:20Speaker 2: deal since well Corpy has the contracts. And this was
- 8:25Speaker 2: a little funny with the language in five years and
- 8:29Speaker 2: one some five ever it is, but you know it's
- 8:31Speaker 2: really a one year deal. But me it's like twenty
- 8:33Speaker 2: million guaranteed. And he's he thought of us for like
- 8:36Speaker 2: eight years now. So you maybe because it's not it's
- 8:39Speaker 2: not like the most money ever every deal, we don't
- 8:43Speaker 2: look at it quite the same way. Maybe because it's
- 8:46Speaker 2: just sort of cousins and you know, he didn't have
- 8:49Speaker 2: the baggers that Shaun Watson did. If you were called.
- 8:54Speaker 5: Was it in a lot of them?
- 8:56Speaker 2: Through Lamar Jackson and some of the the NFLPA file
- 8:59Speaker 2: like a loss to agree with to get against the
- 9:03Speaker 2: NFL or it came out that they went to court
- 9:06Speaker 2: over this and the owner they can minute they said
- 9:08Speaker 2: pressed salaries. It was about Lamar and like not for Cousins,
- 9:13Speaker 2: just like it just didn't. It didn't, and so he's inquired.
- 9:18Speaker 2: I mean, the business Hall of Famer made more money.
- 9:20Speaker 2: I think he has the most garantin money NFL outside
- 9:24Speaker 2: of Matt Stafford. So well, pretty uh, pretty wild.
- 9:29Speaker 3: He's gonna when he's done with this contract, and I
- 9:32Speaker 3: know that somebody will eventually pass it. But this, this
- 9:35Speaker 3: contract elevates him over Tom Brady as the highest earner
- 9:38Speaker 3: in league history.
- 9:39Speaker 4: Like he's Kirk Cousins. H.
- 9:43Speaker 2: I mean, part of that is obviously is we know
- 9:44Speaker 2: that you know you. The more that you the longer
- 9:49Speaker 2: you play the Sardon bill up right, So he just
- 9:52Speaker 2: played me to make money. But I think if you'd
- 9:55Speaker 2: ask people you know who who has made the most
- 9:58Speaker 2: money in their careers, just would have Cousins up there, right,
- 10:01Speaker 2: You would think Mahomes, Allen and Stafford and Brady. But
- 10:06Speaker 2: Cousins now business Hall of Famers. So good for him.
- 10:09Speaker 2: I really he really grew on me. But not to
- 10:12Speaker 2: watch him on the Quarterback Show in Netflix. I would
- 10:14Speaker 2: sort of like to see his personality outside of football.
- 10:19Speaker 2: And again, I think that you know he's going to
- 10:24Speaker 2: be a good leader from from Endoza there in Vegas
- 10:27Speaker 2: and he knowsa's wall, which is important there. So looking
- 10:29Speaker 2: forward to it.
- 10:32Speaker 4: What is the offensive line?
- 10:33Speaker 3: The NFL offensive line group chat saying about you are
- 10:37Speaker 3: Bernard the freak athlete from the HBCU showcase in the
- 10:43Speaker 3: International Player program, this kid out of Nigeria. If you
- 10:47Speaker 3: weren't listening when I talked about him last week, just
- 10:50Speaker 3: to refresh everyone, six foot four and a half, three
- 10:54Speaker 3: hundred and six pounds, ten ten broad jump, thirty nine
- 10:58Speaker 3: inch vertical four six three four party. But he doesn't
- 11:02Speaker 3: know how to play football yet. They said he has
- 11:03Speaker 3: six percent body fat. He's he's a three hundred pounder
- 11:06Speaker 3: with a six pack. It's disgusting what this guy's athleticism
- 11:10Speaker 3: is and he projects as an offensive or defensive lineman.
- 11:13Speaker 4: What's the what's the chat saying?
- 11:16Speaker 2: Well, I will say that you know, the super same
- 11:19Speaker 2: body fat things seemed like like a low number, but
- 11:26Speaker 2: I mean, look, he is. We've seen a lot of
- 11:33Speaker 2: players in make the transition from playing basically it's called
- 11:37Speaker 2: basketball for him right to the NFL. Those guys have
- 11:41Speaker 2: for the most part right have been the ti ends, right,
- 11:44Speaker 2: you know, the those guys and we're going from never
- 11:48Speaker 2: playing before to offensive line has been done before and
- 11:51Speaker 2: joined him a lot in it, right, but it's just
- 11:53Speaker 2: really it's really hard to do. So, I mean, I
- 11:57Speaker 2: wishing the best of luck. I didn't he might try
- 11:59Speaker 2: to be different, believe it either or right, one of
- 12:01Speaker 2: those deep de linemen off at the linement. The teams
- 12:04Speaker 2: is very it's very hard to pull off. I wish
- 12:06Speaker 2: that's the lucky and I hope you can do it.
- 12:07Speaker 2: But you know, for every time we get Antonio games,
- 12:10Speaker 2: I probably have ten guys that you know that that
- 12:13Speaker 2: aren't able to pull this off. So I fell the
- 12:16Speaker 2: pictures of that, I mean, ookay, incredible athletes. The one
- 12:19Speaker 2: thing I loved that I saw, you know, people were saying,
- 12:22Speaker 2: uh to that was like, well wait until you know
- 12:26Speaker 2: the international community starts playing football more and and you
- 12:31Speaker 2: know that the international community takes over sport like the
- 12:34Speaker 2: like they do in baseball, right are the basketball It's
- 12:36Speaker 2: like the international community is so far behind in football,
- 12:40Speaker 2: like it's it's not fifty years away. The low part
- 12:42Speaker 2: in that, I mean, they're at least popping up certainly,
- 12:45Speaker 2: and especially in Europe but it's so they're just so funny.
- 12:50Speaker 2: You know, they all have international professional teams that even
- 12:53Speaker 2: compete like like that basketball right or at baseball.
- 12:56Speaker 5: So I love seeing it that.
- 12:57Speaker 2: We're bratching out a little bit and continue to happen.
- 13:00Speaker 2: But about some of it just in like probably, oh
- 13:05Speaker 2: just wait twenty years now, so you know everyone in
- 13:09Speaker 2: so much is not gonna happen that the same rate.
- 13:12Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know that we're gonna get that same saturation,
- 13:16Speaker 3: but if you can find like I don't know, five
- 13:19Speaker 3: or ten of these outlier mutants that are just like
- 13:22Speaker 3: hanging out. In his case, he grew up in a
- 13:24Speaker 3: small village in Nigeria and you turn that kid. I mean,
- 13:27Speaker 3: we saw that he was at a local school. Zigyansa
- 13:31Speaker 3: came from Ghana to Byu and he wanted to be
- 13:35Speaker 3: a track runner, he wanted to be a soccer player,
- 13:37Speaker 3: he wanted to be a basketball player and ended up
- 13:39Speaker 3: being the number five overall pick instead and for a
- 13:43Speaker 3: time he was the most consistent pass rusher in his class.
- 13:46Speaker 3: So yeah, it works out. You don't need a bunch
- 13:49Speaker 3: of them. But every now and again, it's a cool story.
- 13:51Speaker 3: We'll see what this Bernard Kid ends up being I
- 13:55Speaker 3: was up at practice the other day. I was talking
- 13:57Speaker 3: to Spencer Fano. I was talking to his dad, and
- 14:01Speaker 3: you know the I was asking him about like this
- 14:04Speaker 3: time right now where he's a few weeks away from
- 14:07Speaker 3: getting a phone call that you know, that's the dream
- 14:10Speaker 3: come true. And I was asking him his level of
- 14:12Speaker 3: patience and things like that. If you if you take
- 14:14Speaker 3: me back to when Jeff Schwartz was in a position
- 14:17Speaker 3: where he's leaving college football and the NFL thing is
- 14:20Speaker 3: a real possibility, you were not quite the same Uh,
- 14:24Speaker 3: you know draft prospect that Spencer Fano is, but uh,
- 14:28Speaker 3: what was the final few weeks like as you were
- 14:30Speaker 3: waiting to potentially get a phone call.
- 14:35Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting. I I was definitely not such
- 14:40Speaker 2: a bano. I was able to I as enjoyed the
- 14:45Speaker 2: process until draft. I drove from the June so I
- 14:50Speaker 2: was working out and training at Stopping four, visit a buddy.
- 14:55Speaker 2: I went to a barber to visit a friend. But
- 14:58Speaker 2: it sort of took my time make lay down to
- 15:00Speaker 2: walk adele with and we just think the last couple
- 15:03Speaker 2: of days that they're just gonnlas and just sort of
- 15:05Speaker 2: pre up I mean this is very, very before you
- 15:09Speaker 2: know the box drafts that we have now everyone doesn't.
- 15:13Speaker 2: But I would be wy if I tell you I
- 15:14Speaker 2: didn't look at mark drafts and rankings. And you know
- 15:17Speaker 2: if players say they don't do that now, I mean
- 15:20Speaker 2: I maybe, but imagine what kind of reading in the
- 15:23Speaker 2: rumors about yourself you talk to your agents. I don't
- 15:27Speaker 2: really know how much the agent gets information why this
- 15:29Speaker 2: time of the year, especially if you're not going to
- 15:32Speaker 2: be you know, Mendoza. Maybe maybe you know, you know
- 15:34Speaker 2: David Bailey goes number two, and yet you know that
- 15:37Speaker 2: this draft feels like you know in Dozo one and
- 15:40Speaker 2: then really you know David Bailey reads to and the
- 15:43Speaker 2: sort of from there, but don't we know maybe the
- 15:46Speaker 2: top tennis picks, but where they end up to me
- 15:49Speaker 2: at the question mark? So I mean, just just waiting, man,
- 15:53Speaker 2: you know you've done the work, right, you put the
- 15:55Speaker 2: work in, and she certainly has, and he's just waiting
- 15:58Speaker 2: to hear. I would imagine like Row is a little
- 16:01Speaker 2: different right where he's he was probably a little anxiety
- 16:04Speaker 2: with him right just at my first round pick? Am
- 16:06Speaker 2: I like a two pick? But what I got Jing?
- 16:09Speaker 2: You know, you know he comfortably knows the first round pick.
- 16:11Speaker 2: You'll do to go six or nine or fourteen, fifteen seventeen,
- 16:15Speaker 2: I don't know, but you know something the first round pick,
- 16:17Speaker 2: and he's had something who was a calmness, knowing that.
- 16:21Speaker 3: All of the mock drafts seem to have decided that
- 16:24Speaker 3: that mowing Ola is going to be the first tackle taken.
- 16:27Speaker 4: Is that the conversation you're hearing as well.
- 16:31Speaker 2: I'm not certain because I don't know if he ends
- 16:34Speaker 2: up playing backle in the NFL right so, if you're
- 16:37Speaker 2: drafting alignment that early, primarily want him to play ackle
- 16:44Speaker 2: right now. There there's some that's like Zach Margare and
- 16:47Speaker 2: the brand Sheriff, I think playing back in college. But
- 16:51Speaker 2: those guys who were protected guards, to me, they're both
- 16:54Speaker 2: all pros and incredible football players. Quinton Elton was drafted
- 16:58Speaker 2: hyatt guard. You're starting to talking back about high and
- 17:00Speaker 2: so you know you're good from or or bothering both
- 17:05Speaker 2: him and the Miami kids. When you mentioned Laga like there,
- 17:10Speaker 2: he might love the tackle, and I think they're guard.
- 17:13Speaker 2: If you are Giants at five and you off at
- 17:16Speaker 2: the lineman, I'm taking the guard tackle. Do you think
- 17:21Speaker 2: he's firmly the right tackles. Here's the Browns at six
- 17:24Speaker 2: Browns and off the line in the ward where they
- 17:26Speaker 2: I think he was never avail about six. But I'm
- 17:29Speaker 2: just I'm curious if teams are going to draft the player.
- 17:33Speaker 2: I think it's a guard again. If the thing is
- 17:36Speaker 2: a tackle, great, Yeah, some of the first tackle taken
- 17:38Speaker 2: they had pentioned about, I don't know. I think he's
- 17:40Speaker 2: my pass and taking a free ring or Kidan Proctor
- 17:44Speaker 2: like guys that are going to be tackles in the
- 17:47Speaker 2: NFL least burning their careers.
- 17:51Speaker 3: Do you like Rvel Reese or David Bailey better you met?
- 17:54Speaker 3: You mentioned that both those guys being talked about at
- 17:56Speaker 3: two in past rushers are black.
- 17:59Speaker 2: My cool. I think Leaves has less of a chance
- 18:06Speaker 2: to be bust than Dailies, right, and you and them
- 18:09Speaker 2: are bust. But you know, Rease impacts the game it
- 18:13Speaker 2: outside linebacker, a pass rusher in coverage data. Dailey is impactful,
- 18:18Speaker 2: but just a pass rusher, right, and there's some business
- 18:21Speaker 2: to work on, you know, there's some more consist a
- 18:23Speaker 2: pass rusher, some stuff against the run. I mean, I
- 18:27Speaker 2: p card think release, I think justified thinking David and Jets.
- 18:30Speaker 2: I think it's where to comes down to sort of
- 18:32Speaker 2: the way you use to your team like it best
- 18:34Speaker 2: part available certainly matters. But if he Jets like you,
- 18:37Speaker 2: your pass russ are so bad you need a cost rusher,
- 18:40Speaker 2: and Rease might be that that Michael parsonside player right
- 18:44Speaker 2: where he's a hybrid earliest career off the ball linebacker
- 18:47Speaker 2: pass rusher being really the pass rusher right now, and
- 18:51Speaker 2: you might choose them right now, or David Bailey over
- 18:54Speaker 2: the idea of the kind of sort of doing what
- 18:58Speaker 2: the week is going to be where a team might
- 18:59Speaker 2: just to reas some of the given cardinalson is well,
- 19:02Speaker 2: we need to be better football players. Just get Reef
- 19:05Speaker 2: and we'll put in the linebacker, will put in the
- 19:07Speaker 2: pass rusher, will hybrid him. So I think you can
- 19:09Speaker 2: Jets just spetyfically saying I want a and an a
- 19:13Speaker 2: dirt pass rusher. I want David Bailey over maybe the
- 19:16Speaker 2: better football player right now.
- 19:17Speaker 3: Reese Jeff Schwartz for a couple more minutes here on
- 19:21Speaker 3: the Sean O'Connell show, Talk and all things NFL Draft
- 19:25Speaker 3: Right now, Who's gonna be the first Oregon Duck taken
- 19:28Speaker 3: in this draft.
- 19:33Speaker 2: We probably see and then guard on safety. Right, they
- 19:37Speaker 2: end up being the first guy taken in his draft.
- 19:42Speaker 2: You know it's you know, Gaby came back right, you know,
- 19:45Speaker 2: I'll tell you what every we just saw a U
- 19:47Speaker 2: c l A right, Michigan like an older teams are
- 19:49Speaker 2: world championships in pro basketball, stay together, they want a championship.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Organ's doing that. This year we want a championship. Will
- 19:56Speaker 2: be very Gray Shawn, Now it's very the year it
- 20:00Speaker 2: I've only came back, right, So Sam is probably a
- 20:03Speaker 2: late JA one day early day two guy. Mike Jackson.
- 20:09Speaker 2: We're sitting to end up with in the range of
- 20:10Speaker 2: eighty seven guys draft, and so you know it's a
- 20:13Speaker 2: good it's a good group of guys. The other guy's
- 20:15Speaker 2: pregnant our guard, right, Michael Harris's being and then I
- 20:19Speaker 2: don't think he will, but the two might speak up
- 20:21Speaker 2: in the first round. Lock guard and pregnant just hang
- 20:24Speaker 2: out like that. The two guys that they definitely going
- 20:27Speaker 2: going as.
- 20:30Speaker 4: How much ufl are you going to be betting on
- 20:32Speaker 4: slash watching?
- 20:35Speaker 2: I want you to have no idea. Have you talked
- 20:39Speaker 2: to the SLIC City team this year? No? No there singles.
- 20:45Speaker 3: Uh No, we had when they were doing the it
- 20:49Speaker 3: was the AAF, remember the Association of American Football or whatever.
- 20:52Speaker 3: We were supposed to have the Salt Lake Stallions and
- 20:54Speaker 3: then that thing never really got off the ground.
- 20:57Speaker 2: Yeah. With the the you know, with the NFL, No,
- 21:03Speaker 2: I just I've watched a lot of sports, and so
- 21:06Speaker 2: I just I can't keep up with the NFL. I
- 21:09Speaker 2: know that the composing years to break it down. We
- 21:13Speaker 2: can come on here and break this down, but I
- 21:14Speaker 2: just mind doing it. I can't do it today.
- 21:18Speaker 5: Are the Mamoth are the playoff team?
- 21:21Speaker 4: Yeah? The Mammoth?
- 21:22Speaker 3: Uh Well, barring any crazy collapse over the last few games,
- 21:26Speaker 3: they're They're in the first wild card spot right now.
- 21:28Speaker 4: They've got Edmonton tonight.
- 21:30Speaker 3: That's going to be hugely important to determine who their
- 21:34Speaker 3: first round matchup is because you don't want the playoff
- 21:37Speaker 3: matchup to be the Edmonton Oilers. But if you can
- 21:41Speaker 3: beat them, then it increases the likelihood that you get
- 21:44Speaker 3: the Anaheim Ducks.
- 21:46Speaker 4: So yeah, but second year.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Of existence, maybe maybe they don't want to lose this
- 21:51Speaker 2: year and the Sunny Companies lose.
- 21:53Speaker 4: You said, wait, I didn't catch that what was that?
- 21:58Speaker 2: So maybe the Oilers it's higher even a Stanley Cup.
- 22:02Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe they will maybe, Uh, if they don't win
- 22:05Speaker 3: the Stanley Cup this year, Econor McDavid's going to force
- 22:07Speaker 3: his way out of there. So if they want to
- 22:09Speaker 3: keep him to anywhere, what do you think anywhere in
- 22:14Speaker 3: the like, anywhere in the league wants him?
- 22:17Speaker 4: Tampa probably?
- 22:21Speaker 2: Yeah, in Tampa, Florida team in the Cup for like five.
- 22:26Speaker 3: Years, right, yes, which is crazy. But the Panthers, the
- 22:31Speaker 3: Panthers aren't even making the playoffs.
- 22:34Speaker 2: You are you like all in? Are you all in
- 22:36Speaker 2: hockey now? Like everything's breaking down?
- 22:38Speaker 4: I love hockey.
- 22:40Speaker 3: I don't know that I feel fully confident in like
- 22:43Speaker 3: doing full breakdowns on it all the time.
- 22:45Speaker 4: But we talk plenty of it.
- 22:46Speaker 3: And it's a super exciting time for Salt Lake City
- 22:50Speaker 3: because you know, the the Jazz have stunk deliberately for
- 22:53Speaker 3: like half decade now, and you get a hockey team
- 22:57Speaker 3: and immediately the payoff is there.
- 22:59Speaker 4: So it's fun. It's cool.
- 23:02Speaker 2: The Jazz obviously for you know, for you know, they're
- 23:08Speaker 2: eventually going to be playing like the Centers thanks the
- 23:11Speaker 2: years years and we're geting about the high draft thanks.
- 23:13Speaker 3: Yeah, we're we're trusting the process right now. But they
- 23:17Speaker 3: are currently tied for fourth worst than the league, which
- 23:20Speaker 3: means they get to keep their first round pick, which
- 23:23Speaker 3: is protected if it's eight or lower, and hopefully they
- 23:30Speaker 3: end up with like a top three pick, more likely
- 23:33Speaker 3: that they end up with five, six or seven. But
- 23:35Speaker 3: it's a good draft this year, and then they're gonna
- 23:37Speaker 3: they're gonna have to turn it on next year because
- 23:39Speaker 3: they've they made a trade for Jared Jackson junior earlier. Uh,
- 23:44Speaker 3: they've got a couple of young guys who really come along.
- 23:46Speaker 3: They have to try to start winning next year, and
- 23:48Speaker 3: it's all gonna be determinant on you know, which of
- 23:53Speaker 3: the top draft picks they are able to get in
- 23:55Speaker 3: this upcoming draft. How successful that let's turn it on
- 23:59Speaker 3: now is in my opinion.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean you know it. You know it's
- 24:07Speaker 2: I don't love like the fort Sorter taking. I get
- 24:10Speaker 2: the reason why, the Juria, but like it felt like
- 24:13Speaker 2: very in your sage. They were like, uh, you know what, no,
- 24:17Speaker 2: no marketing and Jackson, you're not playing the full quarter.
- 24:21Speaker 3: I loved when they were doing half games and tanking
- 24:25Speaker 3: the second half of the game. But the NBA punished
- 24:28Speaker 3: him for it because of the degenerate gamblers like you,
- 24:31Speaker 3: so they had to stop doing that.
- 24:34Speaker 2: I mean, you know you you bet against the Jazz
- 24:37Speaker 2: the second half of a game. He's a story by
- 24:40Speaker 2: the way of this guy that we're giving them like
- 24:42Speaker 2: ten grands awayer on by his by media company and
- 24:47Speaker 2: then lost all the ten brand. But like Dumba's play Possible,
- 24:52Speaker 2: didn't actually try to learn how to gamble at all.
- 24:53Speaker 2: And then like now, like the spokes of how Gambler's
- 24:56Speaker 2: back year, it's just it's really a it's just a
- 25:00Speaker 2: balloting cover of gambling.
- 25:02Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:02Speaker 3: I did read that article and you could sniff out
- 25:05Speaker 3: how it was designed to do exactly what it ended
- 25:09Speaker 3: up doing. Just they were trying to set some guy
- 25:12Speaker 3: up for failure, uh, and then he could be the
- 25:15Speaker 3: cautionary tale.
- 25:16Speaker 4: And that's exactly what they got.
- 25:20Speaker 2: For Super Bowl.
- 25:21Speaker 5: He still has five grandmothers in the Super Bowl, just
- 25:25Speaker 5: like it seems so be on the on the freaking
- 25:28Speaker 5: Patriots who were everyone you were going to wait, I'm
- 25:31Speaker 5: going to cover that game. Really just very all very dumb.
- 25:38Speaker 3: Yes quite dumb. Are your kids asking for Kanka nipple jerseys?
- 25:43Speaker 2: Yet you know they're not asking for videos and my
- 25:47Speaker 2: squishes squish in the hands.
- 25:50Speaker 4: Okay, I'm sorry.
- 25:52Speaker 2: Yeah, they're another day yet. But at my next fife,
- 25:57Speaker 2: I do want to be owing schworts. So it's just
- 26:00Speaker 2: just it's just my son must be nice. I would
- 26:03Speaker 2: say that there was no kid does it better in
- 26:06Speaker 2: the world. And I was turning America asterday. I was like,
- 26:08Speaker 2: no better than the normal shorts and sol Wow, fuck nice.
- 26:12Speaker 4: You're the one spoiling him. He's a good kid, though,
- 26:14Speaker 4: so you should.
- 26:16Speaker 2: I mean we should spoil the kids. Absolutely. This trip
- 26:19Speaker 2: is crazy. We're in this house and and uh in
- 26:23Speaker 2: island outside of came to him and join ourselves and.
- 26:28Speaker 4: Yeah, is it spring? Is this spring break for your kids?
- 26:33Speaker 2: Yeah? Well for what ali spring breaks? You're gonna spring
- 26:37Speaker 2: but they uh in Charlotte or Norcelana maybe, but public
- 26:43Speaker 2: school spring break and private school sping break, but two
- 26:45Speaker 2: separate weeks. And so Alice really has it at private
- 26:48Speaker 2: school and as hers this week because she's in public school.
- 26:53Speaker 2: And listen did get into private school as well, sewn
- 26:57Speaker 2: in the last week. And I told like reading for
- 27:00Speaker 2: a daughter to get in because just like until you
- 27:02Speaker 2: known't read private school. All was fine for her and
- 27:08Speaker 2: I should look for that. You know, how much is
- 27:11Speaker 2: going to cost the count? Think it's next year? She
- 27:14Speaker 2: was it like any to get in also like it's
- 27:20Speaker 2: not the word to it takes extensive man.
- 27:23Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, private school is expensive. I don't know breaking news.
- 27:28Speaker 3: Everyone on the planet is aware.
- 27:31Speaker 5: I just don't know.
- 27:33Speaker 2: I'mthing very fortunate. I put it on a couple of years.
- 27:35Speaker 2: But he iss three kids in private school? How do
- 27:40Speaker 2: me do it?
- 27:42Speaker 3: My my older brother is a private school teacher and
- 27:45Speaker 3: he keeps that job exclusively for the fact that he
- 27:50Speaker 3: has three kids that go to the private school, and
- 27:52Speaker 3: so he gets like the tuition discount. He's trying to
- 27:55Speaker 3: be a college professor, but he won't take that full
- 27:58Speaker 3: time until he gets his kids through this private school.
- 28:01Speaker 4: It's a you gotta do what you gotta do.
- 28:02Speaker 2: Man. You got to agree. But the pay up to
- 28:06Speaker 2: the private school. By the way, the payment system is
- 28:09Speaker 2: that you know, I looked in like we're going to
- 28:11Speaker 2: cost the pay looking bulk right, just pay right away,
- 28:13Speaker 2: play one one time to give you a discount and
- 28:17Speaker 2: fire like you know, if I paid one time, they
- 28:20Speaker 2: give a discount and they offered a one discount and
- 28:25Speaker 2: add all the costs of the tuition insurance they charge
- 28:29Speaker 2: you if you payton market you know three times, you know,
- 28:33Speaker 2: whatever it is, so they only need a discount if
- 28:35Speaker 2: you pay. If you're paying full.
- 28:36Speaker 3: Dude, well at one point five percent, you might as
- 28:39Speaker 3: well just keep the money in your bank account and
- 28:41Speaker 3: uh in your investment account for the better returns.
- 28:45Speaker 2: I mean not now, but I really well, I mean
- 28:48Speaker 2: if we even have a world in six hours, who knows,
- 28:51Speaker 2: But uh no, you're going to take things like it's
- 28:55Speaker 2: it's not great like to be on a place and
- 28:58Speaker 2: have great sell service when they're talking about like blowing
- 29:00Speaker 2: up into country.
- 29:01Speaker 4: So yes, I was.
- 29:04Speaker 3: I was in Africa for two weeks while war had
- 29:07Speaker 3: broken out and Iran, and I was just like, man,
- 29:10Speaker 3: that'd be really crazy if we'd logged back into the
- 29:13Speaker 3: internet and we're just like, oh, guess what happened. So
- 29:16Speaker 3: let's keep our fingers crossed that when you come back
- 29:20Speaker 3: from your vacation everything's relatively similar to when you left.
