  Sloan Paiva I did Sloan Paiva will join us at the bottom of
• 0:23
  the hour to talk NBA Vinny Iyer right now Sporting News joins us
• 0:27
  to recap the draft maybe take a sneak peek ahead to like next
• 0:31
  year's. I looked at Vinny's markup ready
• 0:33
  for 2027. Four quarterbacks in the in the
• 0:37
  top 10 Vinny Trenton Ken thank you for finding a few minutes
• 0:41
  for us appreciated the lack of quarterbacks Vinny.
• 0:44
  I've seen some of the ratings that have felt they weren't bad
• 0:46
  by any means, but quarterbacks, even in the draft, move the
• 0:50
  needle, don't they? And if we do get the, you know,
• 0:53
  the run on QBs, like a lot of people anticipate next year,
• 0:56
  maybe even more eyeballs will be on the event than there were
• 0:59
  this year. How about that?
• 1:01
  Yeah, you can call me anything. Just don't call me Diego.
• 1:05
  Yeah, really. Yeah.
• 1:06
  Headed to the CFL. Absolutely, but that's about it.
• 1:11
  Yeah, He won't be going in next year's draft either, by the way.
• 1:14
  That's true. But yeah, looking at the
• 1:17
  quarterback class, we're trying to sort out who are the guys
• 1:21
  right now. I mean, it's all over the board.
• 1:23
  I mean, there's some they're looking at DJ Lagway maybe
• 1:27
  having a breakout season for Baylor.
• 1:29
  You got traded at Chambliss returning to school.
• 1:32
  I think those are wild cards that could easily rise up the
• 1:35
  boards. Definitely a lot of different
• 1:39
  options right now. But again, you think Dante Moore
• 1:42
  returning school, Arch Manning returning school, I think
• 1:44
  Manning, Moore would be your top prospects right now than
• 1:48
  throwing Julian Sane of Ohio State.
• 1:51
  I mean, I think he'll continue to improve this season.
• 1:55
  I know he's a Heisman finalist there, but I think there's still
• 1:59
  room for him to get better all around.
• 2:01
  So I think those are the three that I would feel the most
• 2:04
  confident about going at some point in the first round.
• 2:08
  So and CJ Carr, I think another guy that you look at where I
• 2:12
  think the skill set, the boxes are there where he could have a
• 2:15
  big season at Notre Dame and be their first, first round
• 2:21
  position. So there's some intriguing
• 2:23
  players, especially in the big in the original Big 10 country.
• 2:27
  You know, real quick before we get to 1 more on next year and
• 2:30
  then we're going to recap. But Brendan Sarsby, if he
• 2:33
  doesn't play and it's looking man, I'd, I'd be surprised at
• 2:37
  this point if the NCAA gives him a thumbs up, especially when he
• 2:41
  did bet on, you know, his own team yesterday, bet him to win.
• 2:43
  But still, it's pretty cut and dried seemingly.
• 2:46
  If Sarsby doesn't play this year, he seemingly A fringe
• 2:50
  first rounder, second rounder type of guy.
• 2:52
  How will NFL teams view him? Do you think Vinny?
• 2:55
  Yeah, I think NFL teams are not going to worry about the
• 2:59
  gambling aspect, but they are a little bit because it comes with
• 3:01
  a long suspension as we've seen with Calvin Ridley, even doing
• 3:05
  any kind of gambling activity, not necessarily with your own
• 3:08
  team, but that'll be a little bit of a red flag that this is a
• 3:13
  pretty common thing right now and you have to be able to
• 3:15
  figure it out and it's just a no brainer.
• 3:18
  So that might you pause with his judgment or decision making in
• 3:25
  that sense. And did that go in the direction
• 3:28
  but not physically talented. I think the biggest problem is
• 3:31
  if he can't play, how's he going to show those wares?
• 3:34
  I'm sure there's somewhere somehow there's a place he could
• 3:38
  play out there and at least take reps or do something.
• 3:42
  But I just don't think that helps your stock if you don't
• 3:46
  get on the field because a lot of these guys that have shot up
• 3:49
  the board, I mean, we didn't see Fernando Mendoza going that high
• 3:52
  or Tie Simpson, right? They do it because they were on
• 3:55
  the field and playing and they had a lot of good tape with a
• 3:58
  good supporting cast and all squirrel the intangible.
• 4:01
  So I think it's really hard. I think you go back to the
• 4:03
  Treyland situation had that year, I think that kind of hurt
• 4:07
  its momentum of playing like and then you didn't see the same
• 4:11
  prospect since then. And his teams I think went for
• 4:15
  his upside. Obviously one team did in San
• 4:17
  Francisco, but there just was not enough there to say I'm
• 4:22
  comfortable with his upside, right, if he doesn't play.
• 4:25
  So I I think it's this changed the game totally, especially
• 4:29
  with the quarterback. Vinny, to the 2026 draft and
• 4:32
  what we saw over the weekend, I want to go towards the bottom of
• 4:35
  your list as you graded each and every team and number, not 32,
• 4:39
  that's the Rams, but here locally, the Vikings at #31 AC
• 4:43
  minus grade for them. And, you know, maybe there's a
• 4:46
  reason you don't want to go with an interim GM.
• 4:49
  I understand after firing Quessy, there was a lot of
• 4:52
  questions. How quickly can you pull it
• 4:53
  together? But what they did in this one
• 4:56
  just led to a whole lot of head scratching.
• 4:58
  Fielman, who everybody loved the fit Harrison Smith replacement.
• 5:02
  They don't take him at 19. Instead, they take an off
• 5:04
  injured guy at that spot. Just it was difficult to
• 5:07
  understand even the rhyme and reasoning behind what the
• 5:09
  Vikings were doing over your thoughts on that?
• 5:12
  And a very talented roster. Not a very good draft it feels
• 5:15
  like on the surface. Yeah, I don't know what they
• 5:18
  were doing and it's hard to know.
• 5:20
  This team is a bit in limbo, right?
• 5:21
  The Gigio McCarthy picked expressed with that.
• 5:23
  Tyler Murray, you don't know if that's going to pan out with
• 5:26
  Kevin O'Connell, if the system is going to help Murray or
• 5:29
  Murray had some other issues that were keeping him from
• 5:32
  ascending as a quarterback the way we thought he would after
• 5:37
  promising started the number one pick in 19.
• 5:39
  So look at this situation. I don't know what to make of the
• 5:43
  Vikings. I mean, their defense is pretty
• 5:46
  good, but then you move a player like Jonathan Bernard, you need
• 5:50
  help on the back end. So I think they were trying to
• 5:53
  reload maybe their defense. I think The funny thing is, you
• 5:57
  know, for Kevin O'Connell and Justin Jefferson, but this team
• 6:00
  has really become the defensive team.
• 6:02
  They really depend on their defense forcing turnovers to
• 6:06
  make because again, the running game is still work in progress.
• 6:09
  They didn't really attack that. I thought you might do that a
• 6:12
  little bit more. They're just still on there.
• 6:15
  Jones and Jordan Mason, they did get a late back who could be
• 6:19
  good and Devon Claiborne, but in laid back, it'd be more than
• 6:24
  just a limited role early. If there's injuries, you're not
• 6:27
  going to get that same result. I thought they might go after
• 6:30
  generic Price, but then of course he was not on board at
• 6:33
  all in the second round. So it's a lot of head scratching
• 6:38
  there also because you know, kind of you can see the
• 6:41
  blueprint if you look at Detroit, Oregon, Chicago, Greek
• 6:44
  Bay, you know exactly what those teams are doing and to move
• 6:47
  forward, especially with the quarterback question, right?
• 6:49
  Jared Duff, Jordan Love, Kayla Williams, those teams have
• 6:53
  answers, right? The Vikings don't have the
• 6:56
  answer of the position most need.
• 6:58
  The running game is a question mark.
• 6:59
  How do you get Justin Jefferson going again?
• 7:01
  So I think in relation to those three other teams, especially
• 7:06
  the division being so competitive, it's really hard to
• 7:08
  keep up if you make a few lapses in the draft.
• 7:12
  Vinny is, and I think I can speak for the Chargers, the
• 7:16
  Chiefs and the Broncos fans here that we like the Raiders being
• 7:20
  as inept as they were. I get the sense that maybe the
• 7:23
  adults are now in charge in Las Vegas.
• 7:26
  It seems like I loved their offseason.
• 7:29
  I'd like, I thought they crushed the draft this past weekend.
• 7:33
  I don't think that the Raiders, I'm not saying that this year
• 7:35
  they're going to claw their way out of the basement, But I think
• 7:38
  the days of the Raiders kind of being one of the laughingstocks
• 7:42
  and glad that they're in the division, that the team you for
• 7:45
  happens to reside in, I think those days might be coming to an
• 7:49
  end. The Raiders seem to be, you
• 7:51
  know, catching on to life in the NFL finally.
• 7:55
  Yeah, and some things are just your stuff with the owners,
• 7:57
  right? I mean, look what happened.
• 7:58
  The Commanders, they flipped the from Daniel Snyder.
• 8:02
  They had a person committed to winning.
• 8:04
  That person also was bringing the draft in Washington and just
• 8:09
  creating better buzz with that organization.
• 8:10
  I mean, you totally look at them differently now.
• 8:12
  Dave Daniels and what they can do here.
• 8:15
  One team is still being found out for The Jets kind of gets
• 8:22
  out of the way and doesn't medal as much.
• 8:25
  Jerry Jones is a little bit different because he's been
• 8:28
  playing for a while with that one and one.
• 8:31
  But using the Raiders, they've been trying to get in their own
• 8:34
  way. They've been trying to pop
• 8:36
  things together, trying to make green happening and Joshua
• 8:40
  Daniels taking a shot where a lot of people failed.
• 8:42
  Going after Pete Carroll lead and Chip Kelly experiment.
• 8:46
  Now they seem sane, right? Go after the hot coordinator
• 8:48
  that's there a lot on offense. Get the number one overall pick
• 8:51
  a quarterback, give him help. We get more competent people
• 8:56
  owning the team, including the GOAT quarterback as part of the
• 9:00
  thing. So I just think they're just
• 9:03
  that's flipping the page. And again, unfortunately a lot
• 9:07
  of this is tied. A lot of these teams are not
• 9:10
  winning to not just the coach and players, but things are
• 9:13
  going on upstairs and I think they finally figured that out a
• 9:16
  little bit better. It was incredibly odd to have
• 9:18
  the Chiefs with a top ten pick and it moved up to a number six
• 9:21
  pick after they moved up to get Delane.
• 9:24
  Your thoughts on what Kansas City did?
• 9:25
  Peter Woods, if you can find a way to ignite that guy,
• 9:28
  certainly know the talent is there.
• 9:30
  And Emma Johnson, we saw a ton of him at Nebraska.
• 9:33
  Fun piece in the backfield to go along with Kenneth Walker.
• 9:35
  Your thoughts on what KC did? Yeah, I mean, the way that Casey
• 9:39
  approached the draft is saying, hey, we had it down here,
• 9:42
  Patrick, my homes got hurt. But the way they drafted is
• 9:45
  like, hey, Travis, Kelsey came back, Mahomes looks like you'll
• 9:48
  be out in the field sooner rather than later.
• 9:50
  They approached it like they were just up there with the AFC
• 9:55
  contenders last year, right? Let's reload a corner, use that
• 9:58
  pick that you had with Trent Mcduffie, maybe get a younger
• 10:03
  upgrade there. Peter Woods getting that second
• 10:06
  pick to really give Christian some support he's needed upfront
• 10:10
  for a while. Kind of reboot some of that
• 10:13
  stuff upfront. I think they also got a little
• 10:15
  bit of edge help there. Our Mason Thomas can at least
• 10:18
  help them situationally and help George Carlotta.
• 10:21
  So good did really load up for Steve Spagnolo like we also
• 10:25
  Garrett Nussmeyer pick later. You need to develop a backup.
• 10:29
  You've been going revolving door with Carson Wentz and Gardner
• 10:34
  Minshew. Justin Fields, I don't think is
• 10:36
  their type of backup long term. I think he's a short term fix
• 10:39
  because some case notes are ready.
• 10:41
  So thus Meyer would seem to be a guy that you can develop to be a
• 10:44
  long term backup, which they need from a home.
• 10:46
  So given last year with an injury.
• 10:48
  So I do like their draft quite a bit, but it's really telling.
• 10:52
  I think the way these teams draft and the positions they go
• 10:56
  after, they really are hinting are we playing for now or we
• 10:59
  playing for later. I think most teams, however,
• 11:02
  lead on now because of the turnarounds that you see of the
• 11:04
  Patriots, Seahawks, Those were not possible without big drafts
• 11:08
  last. Year the Rams.
• 11:10
  The Rams rather saw the total opposite.
• 11:12
  If I'm a veteran player on the Los Angeles Rams or the head
• 11:15
  coach and Sean, I get why McVeigh was pissed.
• 11:18
  I really do. Stafford, This might be his last
• 11:21
  year. the Super Bowls at your building, for crying out loud.
• 11:24
  Get him some help. They went and took a guy.
• 11:26
  There's no way in hell Ty Simpson's going to help this
• 11:28
  team win this year. I would be pissed if I was as a
• 11:32
  veteran on this Rams team. My my career is coming to an
• 11:35
  end. I don't have many chances left
• 11:37
  and they dropped the draft. The guy that has no impact on
• 11:40
  this roster this year, I hated what the Rams did.
• 11:43
  And Simpson, hell he may end up in Canton one year but I would
• 11:47
  still Pooh Pooh this pic down the road.
• 11:49
  I didn't like what they did. Vinnie, how about you?
• 11:52
  So is Ty Simpson taking a vacation to Ohio this summer?
• 11:56
  I think that's the way that's the way he's going.
• 12:00
  Yeah. Maybe he visit Akron and tired
• 12:02
  Rubber while you're there, whatever, visit the museum.
• 12:06
  But when you look at it, I mean, maybe he's going to visit
• 12:08
  Matthew Stafford when he's there at the Trineman ceremony several
• 12:13
  years from now. But when you look at this
• 12:17
  situation, yeah, I think the Rams felt like maybe they're
• 12:21
  overconfident that they're set right with the Trev Mcduffie
• 12:24
  trade, getting John Watson. They might be like, hey, we love
• 12:27
  our roster and they do have some reason to feel that way.
• 12:31
  But still, why would you waste a pick?
• 12:33
  You still have the 13th pick. You can get this quarterback,
• 12:36
  developmental quarterback of Belt in another class that's
• 12:39
  going to be more promising or wait till the second round.
• 12:42
  Ty Simpson, is not there a big deal Like you just got to one of
• 12:45
  these other guys who developed like the Chiefs said, really
• 12:49
  this draft and I think thus Meyer and Simpson, like to me
• 12:52
  when healthy, there wasn't that much difference between them,
• 12:55
  You know, So I look at this and say, hey, the Rams may be a
• 12:59
  little bit overconfident what kind of roster they have.
• 13:03
  I get it. The secondary was the thing that
• 13:06
  kept them high out of the Super Bowl and winning it if you look
• 13:09
  at it overall. But you got to keep improving
• 13:13
  your team. You don't know where you might
• 13:14
  need key depth at any point, right?
• 13:17
  A playmaker that could come off an edge rusher, somebody you
• 13:21
  never know is going to have an important role in your team,
• 13:24
  especially on the defensive side.
• 13:25
  So I think they could have done that and maybe even like gone
• 13:28
  wide receiver there just because look, look at the cool you think
• 13:32
  he's going to be OK and play. But Demonta Adams is getting
• 13:35
  older a field it doesn't look like it's going to just snap his
• 13:39
  fingers and change things, right the way it's going.
• 13:41
  So I would have maybe looked at a wide receiver because at least
• 13:45
  that player could have contributed as like a #3 type
• 13:48
  player, slot player, even if you had the Niku and Adams in it.
• 13:52
  Makai Lemon perfect fit. Yes, I didn't understand it.
• 13:56
  And Full disclosure, Ken has a lot of futures on the Rams, and
• 13:59
  that's also recent. Well, true, but he's very fired
• 14:02
  up about this one. Want to go to the Packers next?
• 14:05
  A very boring draft, but you. Don't have a pick?
• 14:09
  Yeah. You don't have a first rounder
• 14:11
  and a lot of defensive lineman. Lotta just not a whole lot.
• 14:15
  What? No skill position players in
• 14:17
  fact that were drafted out of them but they got a kicker trace
• 14:19
  back. What a name that guy is.
• 14:21
  The Packers. The very boring Green Bay.
• 14:24
  Like it felt like draft outside of going out and getting golden
• 14:26
  a year ago. Yeah, Look, the Packers, I think
• 14:31
  this is not surprising. I mean, Michael Parsons deal did
• 14:35
  come with a high cost to consider Michael Parsons part of
• 14:39
  this draft class, but it is expensive when you go after that
• 14:42
  type of player. And the other thing about the
• 14:45
  Packers, look, they're trying to figure out their defense again,
• 14:47
  just halfway. Did a good job there in a couple
• 14:50
  of years, but he had to move on. He was too good, right?
• 14:53
  He had to get a job somewhere. So now you're got Jonathan's
• 14:57
  Gannon coming in. And look, Gannon, some people
• 15:01
  liked him in Philadelphia, some did not.
• 15:03
  And then he had that short tender in Arizona.
• 15:05
  So I think he's going to be a good influence on the defense.
• 15:08
  I think they needed reinforcements.
• 15:11
  I think ideally they would have got D'Angelo Ponds, but he was
• 15:13
  not there. But I do like the Brandon CC
• 15:16
  pick because again, I I think they needed some help inside
• 15:20
  play making. It seems like a lot of these
• 15:22
  teams are the corners. Like I think it, it follows that
• 15:25
  a lot of teams are drafting wide receivers like crazy to have 1-2
• 15:29
  three. Makes a lot of sense that you
• 15:31
  value drafting corners to have 1-2 three as well.
• 15:34
  And I think that's what they did because you got to have the
• 15:37
  support on the back end no matter what kind of pass rush
• 15:40
  you have. Last thing, Vinny Ire from The
• 15:42
  Sporting News has been our guest.
• 15:43
  Vinny, we've covered three of the four regional teams.
• 15:46
  We've got to talk about the Bears loved what they did,
• 15:49
  particularly picks one their first, second and third picks in
• 15:52
  the draft. Logan Jones we saw at Iowa major
• 15:55
  edition. I don't know if they needed the
• 15:57
  tight end, they got one. But the safety Teineman, I think
• 16:00
  he's going to be a hell of a player.
• 16:02
  I really, really do. And I'm again, if you're a
• 16:04
  Vikings fan, you're just going to scratch your head as you
• 16:06
  watch him play the Vikings twice a year, every year, of your
• 16:11
  thoughts on the Bears, of any we'll let you go.
• 16:14
  Yeah, and I think what you get is kind of what you were having
• 16:18
  there, right? I think This is why they can
• 16:19
  afford to let all those safeties go because basically you get
• 16:23
  Kevin Bayard, who's older, and I know he led the league in
• 16:26
  interceptions, but he's on the older side, the end of his
• 16:29
  career. New England, I think, could plug
• 16:31
  and play him as a team. That's like right there.
• 16:34
  But for Chicago, I think they need a little bit more upsided
• 16:36
  safety and they got it. I mean, this kid is going to
• 16:39
  make up for what they lost, really.
• 16:41
  I mean, Jaquan Brisker and Johnson also leaving, but I
• 16:46
  think they're in good shape with him making plays, which can be
• 16:48
  seamless. They get those turnovers and
• 16:50
  then but I see what the Ben Johnson picks with tight end and
• 16:53
  wide receiver. I think he's bit the kind of the
• 16:57
  newer school Mike Marks where he's a bit of a mad scientist
• 17:01
  and you give him some extra pieces, right?
• 17:03
  His kind of pieces. I don't think DJ Moore was his
• 17:06
  kind of piece, right? So I think getting these extra
• 17:10
  tight ends, he wants to run 13 personnel, 12 personnel.
• 17:13
  I think you're going to see a lot of this 13 personnel start
• 17:16
  to creep up in the NFL is a trend here because at 12:13, the
• 17:21
  two tight ends, the three tight ends, look, if teams are
• 17:24
  building their teams too, As I just mentioned, cover 3 wide
• 17:27
  receivers. If you mix it up and put three
• 17:29
  tight ends on the field, then all these defenses are out of
• 17:32
  place. So it's kind of interesting how
• 17:34
  that goes. But watch out for those two guys
• 17:37
  the tight end wide receiver having some impact on.
• 17:40

  Yep. I Yeah, it's boring.
• 18:33
  No personality. What was the guy's name before
• 18:36

• 18:37
  All those. Well, Ken Jennings is.

  does a lot in sports wagering, a lot of the analytical kind of
• 19:07
  parts of that. So there's been some fun ones.
• 19:10
  Is Ken Jennings the greatest Jeopardy champ of all time?
• 19:13
  Yes, now people will say some different champions that have
• 19:16
  been in there in the past, but it's got to be Ken.
• 19:19
  Jennings So why do you enter watches?
• 19:21
  Did you try and get the question first or get the answer first?
• 19:25
  No, it's just kind of something. To the question first, right?
• 19:27
  Because I give you the answer. Yes, I give you the answer.
• 19:29
  Yes. Just something to wind down the
• 19:30
  day. All right?
• 19:31
  Use your mind a little bit. We've been also doing the
• 19:35
  puzzles from New York Times, different puzzles that they
• 19:37
  have. Yeah, just trying to do
• 19:39
  something to keep that mind going.
• 19:40
  I mean, you talk about this a lot.
• 19:42
  What was that pill that pissed you off because it doesn't do
• 19:44
  anything? Yeah.
• 19:46
  Yeah, right. The outcomes broadcasts, you
• 19:51
  were fired up about that. Well, there's, there's no
• 19:53
  studies that say works. Look, if there was a study that
• 19:57
  could make you not lose any brain power and then came up
• 20:00
  with the pill, you know how? Long the line would be.
• 20:03
  Oh, absolutely. There was nothing behind that
• 20:05
  one. Just something to jog the memory
• 20:07
  a little bit and that's maybe. I need to take Prevagen.
• 20:10
  I couldn't remember what the bill was called.
• 20:12
  You were fired up that day. You must have read some article
• 20:15
  that Really. Well, I thought I found the the
• 20:17
  smoking gun, right. This silver bullet is to 'cause
• 20:19
  my mom died of it also and apparently there's one one of
• 20:22
  the of her children and there's four of us.
• 20:26
  Sadly, he's going to be inflicted with it.
• 20:29
  It's. Terrible.
• 20:30
  It's awful, awful. I remember my great grandma
• 20:33
  going through that and just it's painful.
• 20:35
  It's to converse and everything else.
• 20:38
  So completely understand that angle to it, but.
• 20:40
  I'll never forget why the last time I went home, I couldn't go
• 20:43
  home again. Right or wrong.
• 20:46
  When I when I went to my mom, where she was staying, and I
• 20:48
  knocked on the door and she answered the door and she looked
• 20:51
  at me and I, I don't know who you are.
• 20:55
  Yeah, that's tell her oldest child, right?
• 21:00
  It was awful. Anyways, everybody that has
• 21:03
  effects so sadly way way way too many people. 125 time for a
• 21:08
  keyword. Not going to forget to do that
• 21:11
  this hours. I did last hour.
• 21:14

  is the keyword. It's your chance to win $1000 in
• 21:35
  this nationwide contest. Let's dip our toe into NBA
• 21:39
  waters on the other side of this.
• 21:40
  Miller and Condon glad you're with us on the Iowa Sports Radio
• 21:44
  Network. I'm Miller Condon, 130 Iowa
• 21:56
  Sports Radio Network, Sloan Piva Momentarily Athlon Sports For
• 22:01
  Sloan. We'll do some NBA with him.
• 22:03
  So just real quick before we go to Sloan, I've got a betting
• 22:07
  opportunity for you tonight. I'm all ears.
• 22:10
  I know you are maybe not the most up and up, you know, most
• 22:14
  up on the level. Well, so sometimes you got to
• 22:17
  find an angle, right? Well, the angle could be and
• 22:20
  it's betting against your wife when it comes to this topic.
• 22:22
  So I the phone was ringing during the break and I see our
• 22:25
  Twitter starting to light up a little bit as well.
• 22:27
  So you watching Jeopardy, you're a day behind.
• 22:30
  We are that. Guy that has won thirty in a row
• 22:33
  Jamie Jamie yeah Jamie gets beat so the episode you're going to
• 22:36
  watch tonight OK yeah Jamie goes down in flames so put a big
• 22:40
  wager out of my. Life.
• 22:41
  Yeah, baby you. I get to watch whatever I want
• 22:44
  this weekend or. Absolutely.
• 22:45
  Hey, you got to, you got to clean the toilets.
• 22:47
  Yeah, sure. You're folding clothes?
• 22:48
  Yeah. Absolutely.
• 22:49
  We'll find something to put on it tonight.
• 22:50
  Yep. I got a feeling that she'll know
• 22:53
  something self. Do you think she will?
• 22:55
  She'll sniff it out right away. Well, it's not.
• 22:58
  It's worth a shot. But it's worth a shot.
• 22:59
  Worth a shot. I like how you're thinking
• 23:01
  there. You go Sloan Piva.
• 23:03
  Hello, Sloan Piva. Good to talk to you, NBA.
• 23:05
  The beat rolls on. How are you?
• 23:08
  Gentlemen doing great. Yeah, it's sad to see Jamie
• 23:10
  James go down. He was great.
• 23:12
  But yeah, he had to lose at some point, right?
• 23:15
  I guess seemingly they all do Ken Jennings was a heck of a
• 23:19
  run, as I found out just early in the program from my Co host
• 23:23
  Trent Condon. Anyways, I want to talk NBA with
• 23:26
  you because some of these series are well, they're really good.
• 23:29
  And obviously Denver, Minnesota, that series took a significant
• 23:32
  impacts, a significant blow with the injuries to to Ant in
• 23:37
  particular. But I want to start with Detroit
• 23:39
  and Orlando because there was so much love for this Pistons team
• 23:43
  prior to the playoffs starting. If you're looking for a dark
• 23:46
  horse that can come out of the east, don't sleep on the
• 23:48
  Pistons. Cunningham is healthy, blah,
• 23:50
  blah, blah. They're down 31 to an Orlando
• 23:53
  team that was not playing worth a crap most of the season.
• 23:56
  What's going on here? Sloan?
• 23:58
  Are the Pistons dead? Is there any chance they come
• 24:01
  back from A31 deficit in this series?
• 24:04
  Oh, man, I don't know. I've got Orlando winning this
• 24:07
  series. Orlando has just really punched
• 24:09
  Detroit in the mouth. They've just been so physical
• 24:13
  and just attacking at will down low, attacking the boards, great
• 24:18
  lob threat. I mean, Wendell Carter Junior
• 24:20
  has turned back the hands of time.
• 24:22
  It's like we've seen the CJ McCollum in the Hawks.
• 24:24
  Like how is Wendell Carter Junior out playing Jalen Durant?
• 24:28
  It's it's amazing to see. It's real big props to Jamal
• 24:33
  Mosley just coaching this team so well and getting the the most
• 24:36
  out of his squad. I don't think any of us saw this
• 24:39
  coming. I mean, we're we love to take
• 24:41
  dark horses, but Detroit was the number one seed and now they
• 24:45
  look like the the worst number one seed perhaps in modern NBA
• 24:48
  history. This is this is unprecedented.
• 24:51
  I, I told you guys last time we talked that I was a little
• 24:54
  worried that Kate Cunningham doesn't have enough help.
• 24:57
  He doesn't have that that go to second score.
• 25:00
  You know, Tobias Harris can do some stuff on the on the on the
• 25:04
  block and in the postgame or, you know, quarter threes.
• 25:08
  But who's that other guy that's really creating?
• 25:10
  You know, it's they've got bogged down moments that it just
• 25:14
  seems like they don't know what they're doing.
• 25:15
  They don't have enough enough confidence and just Orlando is
• 25:20
  just I mean, they're throwing dunks in their faces.
• 25:23
  It's it's been pretty wild to see.
• 25:25
  I I've got to Orlando one in that series for sure.
• 25:27
  And. Kate Cunningham, he looked awful
• 25:29
  in the fourth quarter last night and well, that's about all that
• 25:31
  I've watched of it. But he he struggled in the
• 25:34
  fourth quarter and you're right, the magic they were just it was
• 25:36
  a dunk fest there. No surprise what happened to
• 25:38
  game five in Denver last night. They take control right away.
• 25:43
  Cruise to the victory T Wolves got it within 10 with about four
• 25:45
  minutes left, but right away, A5 nothing and run out of Denver
• 25:48
  made it back to 15 very quickly. They got to find a way to win
• 25:51
  one game. Minnesota still 1 without Ant
• 25:54
  without D Vincento Is it too tall of a task to still ask?
• 25:58
  They hung around I guess for a bit last night.
• 26:00
  But do you give Minnesota they have a shot, but much of a shot
• 26:03
  to win one of these final two games?
• 26:07
  Jeez, I mean, I was so wrong about Minnesota the last time we
• 26:09
  talked. I didn't give the Wolves much,
• 26:11
  much of a chance against Joker and the Nuggets.
• 26:13
  So I've I've already been wrong about about Minnesota.
• 26:16
  I've been really, really blown away by how physical they've
• 26:20
  been. And I just Sumo is just playing
• 26:22
  the best basketball we've ever seen out of him.
• 26:24
  Even Bones Highland is stepping up and playing the best
• 26:27
  basketball of his career. But yeah, without Anthony
• 26:29
  Edwards and Dante de Vincenzo, that's just a couple of huge
• 26:33
  blows. And then we see Nas Reed get get
• 26:36
  banged up last night. It's like, what is going on
• 26:38
  here? These guys are like cursed.
• 26:40
  But yeah, it's zero room for error for Denver.
• 26:44
  But like we talked about last time that the Nuggets won 12
• 26:47
  games in a row to finish the season.
• 26:50
  If anybody can win out this series, you know, down, down
• 26:54
  three games to to two, I think it's Denver.
• 26:57
  And I really just, I find it a difficult task for Minnesota, as
• 27:02
  banged up as it is, to, to pull this one off.
• 27:05
  I'm sticking with the Nuggets. Let's go to the to OK C, the
• 27:09
  defending champs. What did you see them from them?
• 27:12
  I mean, they didn't have to. It wasn't much of A sweat as
• 27:14
  they swept Phoenix, who didn't give much of A series at all,
• 27:18
  and no one really expected that. But do you see OK C?
• 27:21
  Are they even more scary this year than last year from what
• 27:25
  you've seen in the first round of the series?
• 27:27
  Or is, you know, San Antonio lurking, obviously Denver
• 27:30
  lurking. Or is it OK CS W to win or lose?
• 27:35
  Well, yeah, I think the Thunder are even more scary than they
• 27:38
  were last year. But yeah, the the West has also
• 27:41
  gotten better since last year as well.
• 27:43
  So I do think that the Thunder and Celtics are, you know, minus
• 27:49
  money to to win their respective conferences for a reason.
• 27:52
  They're they're taking care of the ball.
• 27:54
  They're not, you know, turning the ball over.
• 27:57
  They're creating better than any other team.
• 27:59
  They're averaging. Those two teams are averaging
• 28:01
  the most points per game and they're allowing the fewest
• 28:04
  points per game. So usually when you when you see
• 28:07
  two teams leading their respective conferences by by far
• 28:12
  in in points and points allowed, that's a good sign that those
• 28:16
  two teams are are headed all the way.
• 28:18
  So I do have a couple of bets on on them winning their
• 28:21
  conferences and and meeting in the finals against each other.
• 28:24
  But, you know, that said that the Spurs have been really,
• 28:27
  really great. They've, they've hit a new level
• 28:30
  of confidence. They had, they, they went
• 28:32
  without Wendy because of the concussion.
• 28:35
  And everybody said, oh, well, they're going to lose that game.
• 28:37
  And then they, they showed up and played one of the more
• 28:40
  impressive games that we've seen from them in Mitch Johnson's
• 28:44
  entire tenure there. So I, I, I don't think anybody's
• 28:48
  going to mess with San Antonio right now.
• 28:50
  Nobody's going to be surprised if San Antonio goes all the way,
• 28:53
  either. We'll get Knicks Hawks Game 5
• 28:56
  tonight. I have no feel of this series.
• 28:59
  The two close games have gone Atlanta's way.
• 29:00
  The 2 double digit wins have gone the Knicks way.
• 29:03
  What do you feel tonight? What are you playing feeling in
• 29:05
  this series with a Knicks team? That boy feels like they should
• 29:08
  be in more control than they are right now.
• 29:11
  Yeah, it's really hard to predict from a game by game
• 29:15
  betting angle what what's going to happen in this series.
• 29:17
  It's it's been really, really crazy.
• 29:20
  I just, I think the coach, the the Knicks have been thoroughly
• 29:24
  out coached by Quinn Snyder. I, I don't know if Mike Brown's
• 29:27
  going to survive this year. I mean, this has been a really,
• 29:30
  really bad run. But I do like the Knicks to win
• 29:33
  tonight. I'm not going to touch the 6.5.
• 29:37
  It's that's a scary number for me.
• 29:39
  I mean, we're seeing CJ McCollum.
• 29:41
  He's also turning back the hands of time.
• 29:43
  He's been extraordinarily good in the series, but yeah, I'll
• 29:47
  probably bet the the Knicks over 110.5 on their team total prop
• 29:53
  just because I I can't possibly better spread and be confident
• 29:56
  either way on on this series. I like Karl Anthony Towns 13
• 30:01
  plus rebounds. That's plus money.
• 30:04
  OJ Anobi has been great. He's been the one, you know,
• 30:07
  driving force for the Knicks. So I like him. 25 plus points
• 30:11
  plus rebounds. I think that's a sneaky good
• 30:13
  prop for tonight. So I'll probably be attacking
• 30:16
  those two player props and and just staying away from that
• 30:19
  spread. Houston got one on Sunday night
• 30:22
  against the Lakers as they avoided the sweep.
• 30:24
  It sounds like Reese is going to play tomorrow night.
• 30:26
  Obviously Luca won't be back until the second round if there
• 30:30
  is one. It sure looks like they will.
• 30:31
  They've had their way with Houston.
• 30:33
  What is a faces re insurgents into that lineup?
• 30:37
  What does what does that do for the Lakers?
• 30:40
  Oh, I mean it just does so much for them.
• 30:42
  He's he's such a a confident attacker.
• 30:45
  He can spread, you know, spread the floor with his range or he
• 30:49
  can you know, if if players try to take him out of the
• 30:54
  three-point line, he can just take him off the dribble.
• 30:57
  He's a good passer as well. So I think the Lakers are, are
• 31:00
  just going to improve even more And, and they're definitely in
• 31:04
  this, in this theory there. I mean, what did, what did I
• 31:07
  tell you? Last time we talked, they were
• 31:09
  giving them plus 2 1/2 games at -130.
• 31:12
  I'm like, that is the, that is the bet of the century there.
• 31:16
  I mean, Lebron's not going to go down in a gentleman sweep.
• 31:19
  And here we are like now with KD's injuries and, and the
• 31:23
  Lakers just stepping up. And LeBron, as much as, as much
• 31:26
  as we don't like him up here in New England, we got to give him
• 31:28
  respect because he is playing really, really well for a 41
• 31:32
  year old. Good Lord.
• 31:34
  Kevin Durant as it looks like he is going to be unlikely to
• 31:38
  return. I think that's the phrasing that
• 31:40
  was used for Game 5 tomorrow at night.
• 31:43
  How does it end for kDa guy? That is a prolific score.
• 31:47
  Incredible when things are going.
• 31:48
  But there's always so much extra with that guy, from the burger
• 31:52
  accounts on Twitter to everything else.
• 31:54
  Just the unhappy nature leaving OKC chasing a title with Golden
• 31:58
  State that he's mad that people don't consider it one of his.
• 32:01
  They're just a lot extra there. If it was just strictly yes, it
• 32:05
  would be a different conversation, but we know the
• 32:07
  NBA Sloan, that is not the case. Yeah, I mean, there's already
• 32:11
  rumors about him shipping out to a different team and he might
• 32:15
  set the record for for most teams play, you know, played by
• 32:19
  a former MVP. It's just wild to see.
• 32:23
  He's becoming like the Ish Smith journeyman of all NBA players.
• 32:26
  So it's like a little more game. It's really wild.
• 32:30
  Yeah. It's, it's, it's sad because
• 32:32
  he's such a, such a great player to watch such a beautiful game,
• 32:36
  but there's just so much baggage injury wise and personality wise
• 32:40
  that has come with it that it's just almost not worth the
• 32:43
  headache no matter what team you root for.
• 32:46
  So in closing here, Sloan, what have you seen the first week or
• 32:49
  so of the playoffs? Do you stand?
• 32:53
  Did you? Would you like a redo as to who
• 32:55
  you think are going to be in the final?
• 32:56
  Who you think's going to win this thing?
• 32:58
  Or has it basically you've been proven, at least your theory to
• 33:02
  this point, that you think you're on the wrong side?
• 33:05
  Is there a team that you wish you had?
• 33:08
  Oh, I'm sticking with the Thunder and Celtics.
• 33:10
  I think it's boring, but that's going to be the best possible
• 33:13
  product out there on the floor. And I think it's the the the
• 33:16
  best, the best bet for for my money out there.
• 33:20
  I mean, I know they're minus money and it's kind of lame, but
• 33:23
  you know, you're still getting plus money if you bet both of
• 33:25
  them to to make the finals. So I'm, I'm sticking with those
• 33:28
  two teams. They're the most polished, the
• 33:30
  best coached, best offense, slash defense that they got
• 33:34
  everything going on. They're they're, you know, not
• 33:37
  committing that fouls and not turning the ball over.
• 33:40
  They're getting at the free throw line.
• 33:41
  They're knocking down threes. So I got to stick with those two
• 33:44
  teams. I think the dark horses are, are
• 33:47
  still probably the, the Nuggets, if they can survive the
• 33:51
  Timberwolves and the Spurs in the West and then the Cavs maybe
• 33:55
  in the in the East. I, I just don't think the Knicks
• 33:58
  are going to knock off the Celtics the way the Knicks have
• 34:00
  been outplayed so often by the the Hawks.
• 34:03
  I, I don't think the Celtics are going to lose to them two years
• 34:06
  in a row. They're going to come out and
• 34:07
  bring it, try to avenge last year's loss.
• 34:10
  Sloan Paiva helps us out with the NBA.
• 34:12
  Sloan, as always, thanks for this.
• 34:14
  We will talk to you in the weeks ahead.
• 34:15
  Thanks Sloan. Have a great week.
• 34:16
  Enjoy. It's.
• 34:17
  Always a pleasure you. Need to talk to Sloan Paiva as
• 34:20
  we check in on the NBA. How invested are you in this?
• 34:24
  Or are you at all? Tonight.
• 34:28
  Or overall? Overall.
• 34:29
  Do you have any live tickets? Well, I have a Thunder Knicks
• 34:35
  ticket that I got. As soon as as a parlay east
• 34:39
  West. No, it was just a a boost pick
• 34:42
  the pick the finalists and it was a boost before the season.
• 34:45
  I got that at like. Prior to the season.
• 34:47
  At 22 to one, which for a while felt pretty good.
• 34:51
  That's dead. You're still alive.
• 34:52
  It's gonna be Thunder Celtics. I think it is too kind of seems
• 34:56
  boring. Last.
• 34:57
  Thunder will win again. Last two champs, I get the
• 35:00
  Celtics a shot. Do you?
• 35:01
  I think it got the Celtics at 6:00 to 1:00, got a ticket
• 35:05
  towards the end of the season. Just wanted to have one.
• 35:07
  Have quite a few of those championship parlays though with
• 35:11
  the Celtics to win the East. And I started to do that when
• 35:13
  Tatum, even before he was back, but he was coming back.
• 35:16
  And you knew he was on his way back?
• 35:17
  Yeah. Just to have it in there felt
• 35:20
  really good. I didn't love anybody at the
• 35:21
  East at that time. So take a stab.
• 35:24
  Now I need not only that to happen, but that I need what's
• 35:28
  in there. Robert McIntyre to win the
• 35:30
  British Open. Yeah, those stacking them up, a
• 35:33
  couple of those need a few more legs to get home, but someday.
• 35:37
  Did Cooper flag help you advance on any of your?
• 35:40
  No, he did me. You put him in there?
• 35:42
  Yeah, I. Had a few tickets with him.
• 35:44
  Yeah, how? Many more legs he got still
• 35:46
  there. Oh, probably a couple.
• 35:47
  You probably got to carry a lot of hair.
• 35:49
  Hurricane in there. You know what, I've got a lot of
• 35:51
  Minnesota links. I don't know the bottom.
• 35:55
  That's a great start. But that's my kid, said You have
• 35:57
  links, all right, Just just grab the links.
• 36:00
  Yep, grab the links. It's your free square.
• 36:02
  I'm free squared out. Yeah, we've been hit hard by
• 36:05
  your free. Squares, man, I'll say.
• 36:06
  Unbelievable. South Carolina women saw the
• 36:09
  Duke. Duke final four.
• 36:10
  Oh yeah, championships. Yeah, down in flames.
• 36:15
  Anyways, it's fun. Speaking of Down in Flames,
• 36:18
  coming up next, I got 10 bets. You really do.
• 36:21
  I have 10. Well, we're going to have a I'm
• 36:23
  glad we got a few extra minutes to get through all these.
• 36:26
  That's next. Circus sports sponsors, Trans
• 36:29
  Blaze of the day. It's the Iowa Sports Radio
• 36:31
  Network. I'm Hillary Condon.
• 36:33
  Final couple of minutes here on Tuesday for our program.
• 36:36
  Coming up top of the hour off the bench, Sean Roberts and
• 36:41
  Lucas Strain until 5:00 overtime Iowa from 5:00 until 6:00.
• 36:45
  So Diego Pavia's actually signed now with the Ravens.
• 36:49
  Did you see that? He was going to the going to
• 36:52
  camp, but now they've given him a three-year.
• 36:54
  It's not guaranteed a three-year deal.
• 36:59
  What did they expect to see? Drew Stevens Big Leg No No.
• 37:04
  No. Pavia.
• 37:05
  Oh, Pavia. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:06
  Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
• 37:07
  I was way off on that. I I misheard you.
• 37:09
  I'm sorry. Nothing I mean.
• 37:15
  What? He's a great player, Vanderbilt.
• 37:16
  Right, he's a great player at New Mexico State.
• 37:18
  He was no more. People saw him.
• 37:20
  Well, a few more, yeah. Absolutely.
• 37:22
  I loved him because, well, one of the gambling pods that I
• 37:24
  listened to talked about him a ton that year.
• 37:26
  Oh, did so you were waiting for him A.
• 37:28
  Little late night and absolutely.
• 37:30
  And he just, he had a great story.
• 37:31
  I mean, this guy went and he went to his rival and he pissed
• 37:34
  on the rug in their locker room. I mean, that's the kind of guy
• 37:38
  that you get. He's not an NFL quarterback.
• 37:40
  I don't think he is. Either now, but I also didn't
• 37:41
  think he was an SEC quarterback. He proved me dead wrong.
• 37:44
  On that one, see what he was, Yeah.
• 37:46
  Gamer tough guy better than you a lot.
• 37:49
  Of tough guys in the NFL. Though absolutely it's worth a
• 37:53
  shot. I guess.
• 37:54
  I mean if if crappy Tim Tebow can get a shot.
• 37:57
  Yeah, well, don't remind me what's what's behind Lamar now
• 38:03
  They've had veteran quarterback, what's the guy's name?
• 38:06
  Josh. No, Dobbs wasn't there, was he?
• 38:08
  No, it wasn't Dobbs. There's Johnson.
• 38:10
  There was. Johnson.
• 38:11
  Yeah, he was there for the longest time.
• 38:13
  Currently it's Tyler Huntley, great fit to run the offense,
• 38:17
  don't have to change a lot. You can do a lot of the running
• 38:19
  elements that you also have in there for Lamar.
• 38:22
  That makes a whole lot of sense. Definitely get that and same
• 38:25
  kind of system, same kind of quarterback.
• 38:27
  Well, and Lamar now he ran his coach out of town as I guess
• 38:31
  there was kind of a harb on him. Didn't get along apparently.
• 38:34
  How much Derrick Henry got left. I love Flowers and Bateman.
• 38:37
  I don't have any Ravens. Do you?
• 38:39
  Do you have any Ravens futures? I know you play them every year.
• 38:42
  I like my they are to you, April.
• 38:45
  I know, but the Chargers and the Bengals are always in my pocket
• 38:48
  as soon as I get them. Right.
• 38:49
  It's April. I will start to get invested
• 38:51
  into these again. This is again how different we
• 38:54
  are. Your look ahead the way that you
• 38:55
  do things. Put them on the board.
• 38:57
  Grab them. No, I do not have anything.
• 39:01
  I don't think I have anything. NFL period.
• 39:02
  You really? Don't.
• 39:03
  Not just. Oh God, I got dozens.
• 39:06
  We bet much differently. I bet every single day.
• 39:09
  Yep, you don't bet on futures. Not every single day before, but
• 39:12
  pretty close. Yeah, a lot of times during the
• 39:14
  week. Yeah.
• 39:15
  All right, we'll see. So what are you betting on
• 39:17
  tonight? You said you got 10 games, 10
• 39:19
  plays, 10 plays, 10, so you're you're.
• 39:21
  Propping, yes, we're propping along with the And I, all of a
• 39:25
  sudden I looked and I went through my list.
• 39:27
  I'm like, holy crap, I got a lot here.
• 39:29
  And apparently, as I'm looking through this full list, Boston
• 39:33
  is the place to be. Tonight we have the Celtics
• 39:37
  laying 10 1/2 tonight against Philly in the NBA, we have the
• 39:41
  Red Sox. You Savage is making his debut.
• 39:44
  You know that's an automatic. Automatic smashed.
• 39:46
  By this lefty Suarez for Boston last night absolutely destroyed
• 39:50
  the offense for the Jays. By the way, Dylan Cease his
• 39:54
  first 3 innings last night he looked like the best pitcher
• 39:56
  that ever that ever told the rubber and then.
• 39:59
  That's Dylan Cease. It's unbelievable.
• 40:00
  For his career, every single game, 3 innings of unhittable he
• 40:05
  was. And then his.
• 40:07
  First, his first nine in, first nine outs.
• 40:09
  I think 5 or 6 were via strikeout.
• 40:12
  And he didn't get the strikeout prop because I had the under on
• 40:14
  that one. And that was it that we catch.
• 40:16
  Yep, that was. It and it happens all the time
• 40:18
  with Dylan Seet. Drives me nuts.
• 40:20
  You think about turning him into like a mid ending bullpen
• 40:23
  weapon, well quit. Screwing around?
• 40:24
  Just throw strikes. Quit nibbling.
• 40:28
  It's not just. Him and this guy hasn't changed
• 40:31
  like we hear about those those guys you think of earlier.
• 40:33
  There's a reason he's been so many places as good as he is.
• 40:36
  He's probably tries pitching coaches absolutely crazy and
• 40:38
  knock it off just. Throw so your savage goes
• 40:41
  tonight. Yes, so that's the fade spot for
• 40:44
  me, bosox -102 at Circa. And I'm going to play the Bruins
• 40:48
  tonight, too, plus 148 little. Pressure on You want a better
• 40:51
  You want a better future on the Patriots just so you can sweep
• 40:53
  the. Board, right?
• 40:54
  Exactly. Jump aboard.
• 40:55
  Oh yeah, on April 28th. Remember what I put that one?
• 40:58
  In So you've got all three Boston teams to win.
• 41:01
  All of them. Wow.
• 41:02
  Including PowerPoints, yes, and then lane the points with Boston
• 41:05
  with the Celtics minus the 10 1/2 other picks tonight in
• 41:09
  games, Rays plus 1/12 right back to the well again against
• 41:14
  Cleveland. It's Martinez who has been a
• 41:16
  really good and the Rays are hot.
• 41:18
  We're going to stay on that train.
• 41:21
  Cubs, they're going to bounce back.
• 41:22
  OK, I'm feeling confident bounce back.
• 41:25
  Cabreras on the mound, Walker Bueller, he doesn't have nothing
• 41:28
  left, but there's not much left I think in the tank for him.
• 41:31
  Give me Cabrera in that matchup. And finally, you fade the wild
• 41:34
  tonight. You are so Dallas goes up 32.
• 41:37
  Take the home team -124 the best price out there in the market
• 41:41
  at, you guessed it, Circa Sports is where you can find that one.
• 41:44
  And then here are the player props for tonight.
• 41:47
  We're going to go over 5 1/2 strikeouts for Logan Gilbert
• 41:50
  against by twins. We got three NBA props as well.
• 41:54
  Donovan Klingen over 6 1/2 points is all tonight.
• 41:58
  That's all he's got to get to -114 there over 6 1/2 for
• 42:02
  Klingon in the Trailblazer Spurs match up.
• 42:05
  And then two back to that Philly Boston match up.
• 42:08
  I'm going to under on and beat. It's 26 and.
• 42:10
  A. Half feels like a ton and Paul
• 42:14
  George, I'm going to go over the 14 1/2.
• 42:16
  So those are the props to go along with the picks. 10 plays
• 42:20
  in total after a four and four. Are we sniffing A5 and 5:00
• 42:24
  tonight? Hope not if we get the right
• 42:26
  ones though. If we get the plus money with
• 42:28
  the Bruins and the Rays we would take a 5 and five.
• 42:31
  That would be positive on the Ledger.
• 42:34
  All right, Cappy's going to join us tomorrow.
• 42:35
  David Kaplan in his usual Wednesday spot.
• 42:39
  We'll do the Bears draft with Cappy.
• 42:41
  We'll do the Cubs. Howard, he thinks of them,
• 42:43
  obviously the White Sox, not a bad story so far.
• 42:47
  And we'll get his Derby pick as well as I'm guessing by now he's
• 42:51
  got his Derby pick all figured out.
• 42:53
  So we'll put them to the test tomorrow at to kick off our
• 42:57
  second hour, 1:00 for David Kaplan.
• 43:00
  Centurion Stone of Iowa sponsors him on a weekly basis.
• 43:03
  That will do it for us. Appreciate you being here.
• 43:07
