- 2:37Speaker 6: in your life, need more sports conversation. What did you
- 2:40Speaker 6: guys make by your cell on a beautiful buy your
- 2:42Speaker 6: cell Tuesday? Craig Council getting into the news a little
- 2:45Speaker 6: bit yesterday going going after a show Heyo Tani.
- 2:47Speaker 5: Rule, thought that was interesting, called the bizarre.
- 2:50Speaker 3: You said it's bizarre.
- 2:51Speaker 6: Council did pause and exhaled, we all know how that.
- 2:57Speaker 3: Come on.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Jesse reference.
- 3:00Speaker 6: When referencing the Los Angeles Dodgers during Monday's pregame media
- 3:03Speaker 6: briefing at Wrigleyfield, he described Major League Baseball show Heyotani
- 3:07Speaker 6: Rule as bizarre when asking for an explanation on why
- 3:11Speaker 6: clubs in certain situations with a cluster of injuries on
- 3:14Speaker 6: their pitching staff. With the thirteen rule of thirteen position
- 3:18Speaker 6: players thirteen pitchers, though not explicitly called the Otani rule,
- 3:22Speaker 6: there's a two way designation that qualified players can pitch
- 3:25Speaker 6: in any situation and not count towards the active pitcher
- 3:27Speaker 6: roster in the MLB rule book and council is just
- 3:31Speaker 6: like you know, I've never understood it. It's an offensive rule.
- 3:35Speaker 3: Essentially.
- 3:35Speaker 6: It's a rule to help offense more than anything, if
- 3:38Speaker 6: you ask me. Then there's one team that's allowed to
- 3:41Speaker 6: carry basically one of both and he gets special consideration,
- 3:45Speaker 6: which is probably the most bizarre rule for one team.
- 3:50Speaker 6: There's not another player like that, but one team gets
- 3:53Speaker 6: different rules for that player. I'm all buy and give
- 3:56Speaker 6: Craig House an applause, right, all right, council round of applause. Yeah,
- 4:01Speaker 6: it's garbage, all right. And that's the only reason why
- 4:04Speaker 6: it works for the Dodgers is because you ruin these
- 4:07Speaker 6: rules and you make it weird that we give a
- 4:09Speaker 6: special exemption to the greatest player of all time. How
- 4:12Speaker 6: dare you guys make us and let people watch maybe
- 4:16Speaker 6: the greatest talent that the sport's ever seen?
- 4:19Speaker 3: Do both?
- 4:19Speaker 1: How dare you?
- 4:20Speaker 6: How dare you not rob humanity of watching maybe the
- 4:24Speaker 6: greatest sporting baseball player to ever live in this century?
- 4:28Speaker 6: We should you need to take off Emmett Sheehan, I
- 4:32Speaker 6: believe is my man's name. You can take down one
- 4:36Speaker 6: of your starting pitchers if he's gonna start, because this
- 4:39Speaker 6: is garbage and we can't.
- 4:40Speaker 3: We're getting screwed.
- 4:41Speaker 5: So my thing is, Billy, I get the point you're
- 4:44Speaker 5: making that I like him. My thing is, maybe it's
- 4:46Speaker 5: a little unfair, but I don't think it's bizarre that
- 4:48Speaker 5: MLB wants to make an exemption to me? What's bizarre
- 4:52Speaker 5: about that they want to showcase?
- 4:54Speaker 3: And the other thing I.
- 4:55Speaker 5: Would say is it's bizarre for a bizarre player.
- 4:58Speaker 3: When I say bizarre, I.
- 4:59Speaker 5: Mean and in terms of we've never seen anything like him,
- 5:02Speaker 5: you know, the Babe Ruth comparison whatever, Oh TONI is
- 5:05Speaker 5: kind of a bizarre cat, not in the way he's
- 5:08Speaker 5: acts or like I mean bizarre, and that it's so
- 5:10Speaker 5: different and so unique and such a unicorn one of
- 5:14Speaker 5: one that he kind of warrants a unique type of rule.
- 5:18Speaker 5: If you want to see him do what He's what
- 5:20Speaker 5: makes him unique, and that is play two ways right
- 5:23Speaker 5: and dominate two ways.
- 5:24Speaker 3: So that might just be the.
- 5:25Speaker 5: Shikes, Craig, I understand why it might not be fair,
- 5:28Speaker 5: but that's that's the league you're in and that's the
- 5:32Speaker 5: product they're trying to promote.
- 5:33Speaker 3: Will we see more people who can do that like
- 5:36Speaker 3: those who remember the brooks keishnik era as Arman does. Sure?
- 5:40Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well we see more guys like you know
- 5:42Speaker 3: that can do both, that can Yeah.
- 5:43Speaker 5: That's the idea, a guy that can hit and pitch,
- 5:46Speaker 5: but no one does both to elite levels like show
- 5:49Speaker 5: I that's the difference.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. But I'm just saying, like, moving forward,
- 5:54Speaker 3: because it will it be ten years from now, will
- 5:56Speaker 3: be more prevalent. Well, are those guys still going to
- 5:59Speaker 3: be so rare? We'll got Are we gonna start fostering that?
- 6:02Speaker 3: Will people be inspired by Otani? Because a lot of
- 6:05Speaker 3: times your best your picture and your youth teams is
- 6:07Speaker 3: your best athlete, best player, and then they become pitchers
- 6:10Speaker 3: mm hmm yeah, and then you have spell and they
- 6:11Speaker 3: put the bat down and forget about it.
- 6:13Speaker 6: So this ended up being one of if I'm not mistaken,
- 6:17Speaker 6: our best knockout, drag out UH non football conversations when
- 6:21Speaker 6: we were doing nine and noon just for kicks uh.
- 6:23Speaker 6: And the tough part for like I saw it drew
- 6:27Speaker 6: as exactly what counts is saying as a manipulation to
- 6:31Speaker 6: the rule where you can have a personnel advantage that
- 6:35Speaker 6: even if the guy is a middle of the road
- 6:38Speaker 6: reliever and a utility player, you can at least then
- 6:43Speaker 6: kind of fudge the system and get an extra roster
- 6:46Speaker 6: spot if the guy can do both. And the biggest
- 6:49Speaker 6: one for me is it's not that there's not players.
- 6:52Speaker 6: Shoeotani's athletically and talent wise better than all these guys
- 6:57Speaker 6: that have tried it.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:58Speaker 5: Right.
- 6:59Speaker 6: But there was a bread McKay that I remember for
- 7:01Speaker 6: a long while ago. He was like the second overall pick,
- 7:04Speaker 6: and the word was he's gonna do both, He's gonna
- 7:07Speaker 6: get into the minor leagues and do both. And I
- 7:09Speaker 6: think he got drafted by the Rays and two months
- 7:12Speaker 6: in they're like, no, you're gonna hit, You're gonna hit.
- 7:15Speaker 6: You're done with this pitching thing. They usually pick one
- 7:18Speaker 6: or like Lucas Urseeg who was a Brewers Prospects second
- 7:21Speaker 6: round picky when he's in college. Make him a hitter,
- 7:24Speaker 6: plays third base, kind of flames out in the minor leagues.
- 7:27Speaker 6: He's like, well, I'm gonna try to resurrec my career,
- 7:29Speaker 6: and now he's an All Star reliever. There's guys that
- 7:32Speaker 6: can have the talent to do both, but never the
- 7:35Speaker 6: club drew that had the vested interest in giving it
- 7:38Speaker 6: a real try at the major league level. So I
- 7:41Speaker 6: do believe there will be more teams that have a
- 7:43Speaker 6: two way player within the next ten years.
- 7:45Speaker 5: I thought, with certain chances, there were certain guys that
- 7:48Speaker 5: could become that. I mean, Jovanni was a really good hitter,
- 7:51Speaker 5: you know, Leobanni guard was a really good hitter.
- 7:53Speaker 3: Could he have DHD every day in twenty you gotta
- 7:55Speaker 3: do twenty twenty games?
- 7:57Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know if he could, but could he
- 8:01Speaker 5: be My point is would he be good enough to
- 8:03Speaker 5: warrant that spot?
- 8:04Speaker 3: Like you have to be good enough to be in
- 8:06Speaker 3: that lineup every day? I mean, one asked me the
- 8:08Speaker 3: other day about who the Brewers like, who what pictures
- 8:11Speaker 3: were good hitters. The guy I remember is Granky was phenomenal.
- 8:15Speaker 5: DC hit a couple of Dingers. I think he was
- 8:17Speaker 5: really good. I think Jobanni is the one.
- 8:20Speaker 3: He's competitive, but was really he was another good one.
- 8:23Speaker 5: So I mean Woodruff, I'd love to see him hit more,
- 8:25Speaker 5: but I don't know if we're talking about not guys
- 8:28Speaker 5: that can hit good for a picture quote unquote, but
- 8:30Speaker 5: guys that are actually good enough as a hitter to
- 8:32Speaker 5: say you're better than any of other option. We have
- 8:34Speaker 5: a dh you know, So go out there and take
- 8:36Speaker 5: the hacks every day.
- 8:38Speaker 3: Yeah, there aren't many. There's aren't many of those guys
- 8:41Speaker 3: like that, you know.
- 8:42Speaker 6: And no, its just and it goes back to show
- 8:44Speaker 6: Hayes incredible talent, but also the level of cashe he
- 8:50Speaker 6: had when he came over. Right like, when he came over,
- 8:53Speaker 6: he was regarded as this dude's gonna be the best
- 8:56Speaker 6: player of all time.
- 8:57Speaker 3: So somebody needs to allow him to do it.
- 8:59Speaker 6: And if I'm not mistaken, the reason why he chose
- 9:02Speaker 6: the Angels over everybody was because they just said.
- 9:05Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, do what you want. You want to hit Sweet,
- 9:08Speaker 3: you want to pitch Sweet? Do that too? Who you
- 9:11Speaker 3: want to do it on the same day? Sounds good,
- 9:14Speaker 3: Let's do it.
- 9:14Speaker 6: Let let's figure out any way to get people into
- 9:17Speaker 6: the get people away from Disneyland over to Anaheim for
- 9:21Speaker 6: a baseball game. And when he was the attraction, you
- 9:23Speaker 6: could do it. And then when he flourished, it worked out.
- 9:27Speaker 6: But Drew, you know, waving a flag right in the
- 9:30Speaker 6: face of it. Is this Travis Hunter deal in the
- 9:33Speaker 6: NFL where last year he was the talk two days
- 9:37Speaker 6: before the draft of is he a wide receiver?
- 9:39Speaker 3: Is he a corner? Which one? Is he gonna play?
- 9:41Speaker 3: In the NFL? You can't do both?
- 9:43Speaker 5: Well?
- 9:43Speaker 6: Then James Gladstone, the youngest GM in NFL history, went
- 9:47Speaker 6: out there about like, Travis Hunter is a different guy,
- 9:52Speaker 6: all right, Travis Hunter is potentially going to change football.
- 9:55Speaker 3: He is a different talent. He's a different human being, and.
- 9:59Speaker 6: Talks so eloquent and glowingly about Travis Hunter and the
- 10:03Speaker 6: ability for him to have such an impact on football
- 10:07Speaker 6: long past the time that he plays.
- 10:10Speaker 5: The change the history of the game type of stuff.
- 10:11Speaker 6: Yeah, man gets hurt one year and now the reports are, yeah,
- 10:14Speaker 6: he's going to be a corner and we might give
- 10:16Speaker 6: him like five or ten plays on offense. So as
- 10:19Speaker 6: much as it's you know, player talent wise, I think
- 10:22Speaker 6: it's so much more of the team saying, we have
- 10:24Speaker 6: a limited at time with this asset, and you better
- 10:27Speaker 6: figure out how to play one at an exceptional level
- 10:30Speaker 6: at all before we start worrying about you doing something else.
- 10:33Speaker 3: There you go eight seven seven seven three. Hit us
- 10:36Speaker 3: with your buy or sell propositions as they may be.
- 10:41Speaker 3: You're buying, are selling that the Brewers were off last night.
- 10:45Speaker 3: They start a series against Detroit now, and it does
- 10:48Speaker 3: look like it's going to line up for them to
- 10:50Speaker 3: face Scooble on Thursday, get every day and Friday. Schemes
- 10:55Speaker 3: you're buying, are selling that they can win one of
- 10:57Speaker 3: those two games. I'm buying it. I think they're going
- 10:58Speaker 3: to get one of two. I think not only can
- 11:01Speaker 3: they they've shown can hit.
- 11:04Speaker 5: Schemes you know in the past obviously, but I think
- 11:07Speaker 5: we have good enough pitching as well to stick in
- 11:09Speaker 5: these games and go beat the bullpen.
- 11:10Speaker 3: So I'm buying that. You've got the day off. You
- 11:12Speaker 3: had the day off yesterday, so you don't have one
- 11:15Speaker 3: in between. So that makes me think, like, how do
- 11:17Speaker 3: you manipulate your lineup to not have the you know,
- 11:21Speaker 3: the Thursday getaway game lineup? Are you gonna you're gonna
- 11:24Speaker 3: want contraras you want. Well, I suppose Sanchez. Maybe I
- 11:27Speaker 3: wonder what the lineup's gonna look like and how that
- 11:29Speaker 3: calculus will work.
- 11:30Speaker 6: Yeah, Sprout against Scooble just doesn't seem like a matchup
- 11:35Speaker 6: that I'm ready to to back and put the willingness on. However,
- 11:39Speaker 6: they've hit schemes before at American Family Field, so I'm
- 11:43Speaker 6: buying that they can win one of the two. But
- 11:45Speaker 6: that's a good point, Drew, because you look at the
- 11:48Speaker 6: two games before you're gonna get Harrison and Patrick to
- 11:51Speaker 6: start for the Brewers. Is there some of like, hey,
- 11:54Speaker 6: we're gonna take our lumps potentially on Thursday and just
- 11:57Speaker 6: let that let that game happen. We want to make
- 11:59Speaker 6: sure that were able to grab the first two because
- 12:02Speaker 6: those two where we're gonna have two young studs and
- 12:05Speaker 6: right now Chad Patrick potentially performing like your best starting pitcher.
- 12:08Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's the thing.
- 12:09Speaker 5: And if you can match those guys, you stay within
- 12:12Speaker 5: the game, get into the bullpen. You know, unless those
- 12:14Speaker 5: guys are gonna go way deep into games, you can
- 12:16Speaker 5: go try and get those guys get the bullpen. So
- 12:19Speaker 5: I like their chances to win one. I guess I
- 12:21Speaker 5: believe in this team right now a little bit, so
- 12:23Speaker 5: I like it.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Are you buying or selling that? There is importance to
- 12:28Speaker 3: the stat Did you see it that came out about
- 12:30Speaker 3: the Pro Bowl players? Most Pro Bowlers on their current
- 12:34Speaker 3: roster drafted by that team? Packers gotta be weight down
- 12:37Speaker 3: on that list. Eagles eight, Ravens and Lions seven apiece, Texans, Broncos,
- 12:42Speaker 3: Chargers six. You go down, down, down, down, down down,
- 12:46Speaker 3: and the Packers Billy are dead last with dead last
- 12:50Speaker 3: with zero zero yep, Bears and Dolphins have one. Titans
- 12:56Speaker 3: you're at zero. So but what does that say because
- 12:59Speaker 3: they're better than a lot of you know, they have
- 13:01Speaker 3: fewer Pro Bowlers drafted than the Jets. Well who who
- 13:05Speaker 3: would you rather?
- 13:05Speaker 6: Be? Sure?
- 13:06Speaker 3: Yeah, they can have Garrett Wilson out. Well that's the
- 13:10Speaker 3: other thing is Pro Bowl? Yeah, how good is that
- 13:12Speaker 3: as a measurable.
- 13:14Speaker 6: Well tough thing is to like, I think Tucker Craft
- 13:16Speaker 6: would have been a Pro bowler if he stayed healthy, right,
- 13:19Speaker 6: Zach Tom probably could be a Pro bowler, But they
- 13:22Speaker 6: had you.
- 13:22Speaker 3: Know, they just recently said goodbye to Jaire and the
- 13:26Speaker 3: Elton Jenkins, who were Pro Bowl drafted by more But
- 13:31Speaker 3: how important is that? How damning is it? Because we're
- 13:34Speaker 3: we're gonna have REGs on next to talk draft, and
- 13:36Speaker 3: he's not exactly a gooty stand.
- 13:38Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not a nothing right like it, it's not
- 13:41Speaker 6: nothing because there's definitely something to the fact that the
- 13:43Speaker 6: players that they brought in have they brought in all
- 13:47Speaker 6: good players and nice players instead of standout blue ship players.
- 13:51Speaker 3: If Tucker Craft and Zach tom stay healthy last year,
- 13:54Speaker 3: are they pro bowled?
- 13:54Speaker 6: Probably at least one of the two, and probably both
- 13:57Speaker 6: and and and Christian Watson. I think with a full
- 14:00Speaker 6: season will spotlight to that point. But I mean, wide
- 14:05Speaker 6: receiver is a tough spot to break in. As much
- 14:07Speaker 6: as I would have loved to say that Matthew Golden
- 14:11Speaker 6: with enough opportunities going there, that's a tough spot to
- 14:13Speaker 6: crack in the NFC right now with the top flight wideouts.
- 14:17Speaker 3: They have, it's important to draft and to develop Pro
- 14:22Speaker 3: Bowl type players. But if you get Michael Parsons and
- 14:25Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs and Xavier McKinney, you get them, You've got them,
- 14:30Speaker 3: and it's like, there are what's the what's the running
- 14:32Speaker 3: total on that? On free agent acquisitions or trade acquisitions
- 14:36Speaker 3: that are pro bowlers.
- 14:37Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's the other part of it. And and
- 14:39Speaker 6: you know Jordan Love also has n't been a pro bowler,
- 14:42Speaker 6: So like that's that's one where that is probably the
- 14:45Speaker 6: pick that saves Goody's resume in terms of drafts more
- 14:48Speaker 6: than anything. And he would be one guy that doesn't
- 14:51Speaker 6: qualify in there, but there's a lot of teams that
- 14:52Speaker 6: would take him over their quarterback situation.
- 14:54Speaker 3: C J McCollum, the star of last Night's Garden Party,
- 14:57Speaker 3: has toiled in obscurity for much of his career because
- 14:59Speaker 3: of the market that he's been in and stuff. And
- 15:01Speaker 3: I just asked, Billy, has he ever been an All Star?
- 15:03Speaker 3: And I don't think he has. No, not one time.
- 15:05Speaker 3: He's the most he's been one of the best players
- 15:08Speaker 3: in Lincoln. He's never been an All Star. What does
- 15:09Speaker 3: that tell you?
- 15:10Speaker 5: Yeah, he's always been kind of the robin, right because
- 15:12Speaker 5: you had Dame there obviously, So he's a.
- 15:14Speaker 3: He's he's hit some big shots, he's had some huge moments,
- 15:17Speaker 3: big games. Like I'm like, he's pretty I consider him
- 15:21Speaker 3: to be like an upper tier NBA player, But he
- 15:23Speaker 3: gets no run and no, no, no.
- 15:25Speaker 5: All Star real life in sports in general, that that
- 15:28Speaker 5: honor can be a bit overrated. Robbie ol it's a
- 15:31Speaker 5: Hall of favorite, one of the great players in baseball history,
- 15:33Speaker 5: I think only a three time All Star, two or three. Yeah,
- 15:35Speaker 5: So it's just the way it is in the in
- 15:37Speaker 5: the position and how they vote in the first half.
- 15:39Speaker 5: Speaking of voting, I have a buyer sell for you
- 15:41Speaker 5: guys before we end this segment. Buyer celluh, Victor Weberiano
- 15:45Speaker 5: was a defensive player that unanimously first one firs. So
- 15:48Speaker 5: my question that he deserved it. Okay, it was clear
- 15:51Speaker 5: that he was the best defensive player this year, so
- 15:53Speaker 5: it's not much as much a question about that. But
- 15:55Speaker 5: the buyer cell that we are now entering what I'm
- 15:58Speaker 5: gonna call this, uh, a culture of coal essons around
- 16:03Speaker 5: voting and group think.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Billy hates this Billy lessons.
- 16:09Speaker 5: Where voters are now coalescing around somebody they all think
- 16:12Speaker 5: should win and voting as such. And we've talked about
- 16:16Speaker 5: this with Hall of Fame voting, and you know, famously,
- 16:19Speaker 5: not even not even Hank Aaron was a unanimous Hall
- 16:22Speaker 5: of Fame selection, but Derek Jeter was one away.
- 16:25Speaker 6: So are you asking should somebody have voted for Draymond
- 16:28Speaker 6: Green just to make sure he wasn't the unanimous guy.
- 16:32Speaker 3: So in this case, I definitely don't. I mean, I
- 16:34Speaker 3: think Wenby was the obvious.
- 16:36Speaker 5: Pick, So I guess my question also is is it
- 16:38Speaker 5: better or worse? Are we just getting smarter as a
- 16:41Speaker 5: group getting other people's opinions, or are we getting influenced
- 16:44Speaker 5: by other people's opinions more? And is that just my
- 16:47Speaker 5: imagination that that's happening, Drew, you voted for a lot
- 16:49Speaker 5: of things, you have Hall of Fame votes.
- 16:51Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it seems the electorate's always evolving. I think,
- 16:56Speaker 3: you know, I don't think.
- 16:58Speaker 6: I don't necessarily think you're wrong on the thought though,
- 17:02Speaker 6: that there's like a consensus that comes and at some point,
- 17:06Speaker 6: especially when it becomes public, people are like, well, how
- 17:10Speaker 6: on earth did you not do this? Now they I
- 17:12Speaker 6: don't think it's a bad thing for the votes to
- 17:14Speaker 6: be public, unless you're Diana Rassini and you tell two
- 17:16Speaker 6: people you voted for him first round VP potentially, right, Like,
- 17:18Speaker 6: unless that's the situation and you're giving out promises that
- 17:22Speaker 6: you're unable to deliver on.
- 17:24Speaker 3: That's the only reason why I think it would be wrong.
- 17:26Speaker 3: Like the Sam Monson thing.
- 17:27Speaker 6: He took a lot of smoke online, but he was
- 17:29Speaker 6: the only guy to admit as to why he voted
- 17:32Speaker 6: a certain way.
- 17:33Speaker 3: I give ridiculous respect for that. Yeah, so.
- 17:37Speaker 6: I do believe Arman that, like with how much data,
- 17:40Speaker 6: how much conversation there is around sports, maybe there's a
- 17:45Speaker 6: thought that we all believe. Well, the betting market says,
- 17:48Speaker 6: right now, this guy's gonna win it because he's a
- 17:50Speaker 6: minus three hundred favorite. Sure that doesn't meet because no
- 17:53Speaker 6: vote comes in, and then three weeks later you send
- 17:55Speaker 6: in a different vote. It's all speculation anyway that I
- 17:59Speaker 6: don't don't believe that. It's just like, oh, we're only
- 18:02Speaker 6: going to see unanimous guys because nobody wants to be
- 18:04Speaker 6: called out and wrong.
- 18:05Speaker 3: I do think though the.
- 18:06Speaker 5: Existence of social media does a couple of things. In
- 18:09Speaker 5: one way, it changes it in that we are kind
- 18:11Speaker 5: of having a let's take it as voting right where
- 18:16Speaker 5: everybody has a solent ballot or everyone gets in one
- 18:18Speaker 5: room to agree. We almost are shifting more to the
- 18:22Speaker 5: aspect of everyone's getting in one room to discuss it
- 18:25Speaker 5: and agree, even though it's on social media now where
- 18:28Speaker 5: everyone kind of agrees on the candidate and votes for that,
- 18:31Speaker 5: where that wasn't the case in the past. I'm not
- 18:34Speaker 5: sure if it's better or worse, but I think it
- 18:35Speaker 5: is changing. So didn't know that was that was something
- 18:37Speaker 5: you guys noticed.
- 18:39Speaker 6: So you're saying more like a the old Hall of
- 18:41Speaker 6: Fame deal in the NFL, we're all fifty voters, we'll
- 18:44Speaker 6: sit around talk about it, and then they would vote
- 18:46Speaker 6: on it. But there they'd still be, if I believe correctly,
- 18:49Speaker 6: they'd still vote privately and they were like or like
- 18:52Speaker 6: a jury.
- 18:52Speaker 3: Or a Supreme court.
- 18:53Speaker 5: Obviously that's not literally what's happening, but it does seem
- 18:56Speaker 5: like we're getting more and more of.
- 18:58Speaker 3: The quote unanimous votes.
- 19:00Speaker 5: Of course, Wenby's a bad example because he was obviously
- 19:03Speaker 5: the best defensive player this day.
- 19:04Speaker 3: I know one race that won't be unanimous, con Ka
- 19:06Speaker 3: Nipple and Cooper Flag.
- 19:07Speaker 5: Yeah, that that's a split decision. That's a split decision. Yeah,
- 19:11Speaker 5: that's it, and that'll be argued probably by a lot
- 19:13Speaker 5: of people for a while.
- 19:14Speaker 3: I'm sure.
- 19:14Speaker 6: I also think the uh at least when when you
- 19:17Speaker 6: hear a lot of people talk about the votes and Indiano,
- 19:19Speaker 6: you've mentioned this a couple of times, but like taking
- 19:22Speaker 6: in feedback from players I think is one of the
- 19:24Speaker 6: best ones of Like they're the ones on the floor,
- 19:27Speaker 6: they're the ones on the field.
- 19:28Speaker 3: They might know if this guy's good.
- 19:29Speaker 6: They would right, they might know who might be the
- 19:32Speaker 6: best guy if they care to be able to give
- 19:34Speaker 6: the conversation. And that's where, depending on the different reporters,
- 19:37Speaker 6: you have those relationships and understand, Oh, this guy's actually
- 19:40Speaker 6: gonna get me some truthful answers and care about it.
- 19:43Speaker 6: Or this guy's gonna say, well, who was in the
- 19:44Speaker 6: All Star Game last year? Why don't you put him down?
- 19:47Speaker 3: Before we go to break and Reegs is coming up
- 19:49Speaker 3: to talk a little draft Billy. Who's our Superhero to Day?
- 19:52Speaker 3: Presented by Current Electric call Current dot com as the
- 19:54Speaker 3: website for those superheroes. Who's our Superhero to Day?
- 19:58Speaker 6: So there's a lot of opportunities in a lot of
- 20:00Speaker 6: places that I think that we could go with today's
- 20:02Speaker 6: Superhero of the Day. I really wanted to give it Harman,
- 20:06Speaker 6: sorry and just for returning and being solid, but he's
- 20:08Speaker 6: just been so bad on the board today. There's just
- 20:11Speaker 6: no chance that we possibly could I fubble Warren, But
- 20:14Speaker 6: I'm going to give it to the new highest paid
- 20:17Speaker 6: kicker in NFL history. Brandon Aubrey's setting records not only
- 20:22Speaker 6: in the length pause of the field goals that he
- 20:25Speaker 6: can make, but on the contracts that he's signing now.
- 20:28Speaker 6: It is not the ten year contract that people said,
- 20:32Speaker 6: potentially Brandon Aubrey's wife was saying he was going to
- 20:34Speaker 6: get and then he was demanding and potentially wanting out
- 20:37Speaker 6: of Dallas that they were going to give him four year,
- 20:40Speaker 6: twenty eight million dollars. That's seven million a year to
- 20:45Speaker 6: kick a football, highest pid kicker in NFL history. He's
- 20:47Speaker 6: the best kicker in the NFL. So it's rightfully deserved
- 20:50Speaker 6: seven million bucks for kickers in the NFL.
- 20:54Speaker 3: God is good, Yeah, and he is good man, if
- 20:57Speaker 3: you can.
- 20:58Speaker 6: Superhero of the day, Brandon Aubrey being able to not
- 21:00Speaker 6: only boots seventy yarders but be able to cash in
- 21:03Speaker 6: and set a new bar in the NFL. Current Electric,
- 21:06Speaker 6: they're setting new standards and new bars for electrical folks

- 22:26Speaker 6: Who will be the playing position of the team's first
- 22:28Speaker 6: drafted player? Plus one sixty corner or offensive lineman? Could
- 22:32Speaker 6: it be a defensive lineman at plus two fifty?
- 22:34Speaker 2: True?
- 22:35Speaker 6: They shock the world and go running back at twenty
- 22:36Speaker 6: to one with their first pick. Who knows you can
- 22:39Speaker 6: go bet above the rest over at the Potawatame Sports
- 22:41Speaker 6: Book and enjoy the draft with us for three straight days.
- 22:43Speaker 3: Well played. Guy who enjoys the draft three hundred and
- 22:45Speaker 3: sixty five days a year is Rob Rieger. He was
- 22:48Speaker 3: part of the geek squad ten years ago on these
- 22:50Speaker 3: yere airwaves and interwebs, and he joins us now from
- 22:54Speaker 3: chi said TV's Draft guide. Which position group did you do? Reegs?
- 22:59Speaker 2: I do back and I do small school sleepers. So
- 23:02Speaker 2: it's probably my favorite one kind of uncovering those hidden gems.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Love those guys. Love the small school sleepers. Also lockdown
- 23:09Speaker 3: packers and rigs. As we get closer, people are issuing
- 23:13Speaker 3: their final mock drafts. What is your m in that regard?
- 23:16Speaker 3: What do you like to do? I know you like
- 23:18Speaker 3: to do one of what you think is gonna happen and.
- 23:20Speaker 1: What you would do I do.
- 23:22Speaker 2: So Yeah, my first one, and probably the one I
- 23:24Speaker 2: like the most, is by what I think I would do.
- 23:26Speaker 2: So I played the GM had on all thirty two teams,
- 23:29Speaker 2: and it takes me a long time to do this.
- 23:30Speaker 2: I look at strengths, weakness is I just dropped that
- 23:32Speaker 2: yesterday NFL Draft rigs on Twitter. Send it over to
- 23:36Speaker 2: you guys, when I what I would do? And then
- 23:39Speaker 2: Thursday morning I come out with a whole what I
- 23:41Speaker 2: think is going to happen type of thing. Right, I'm like, oh, well,
- 23:44Speaker 2: these guys might do this, might do that type of thing.
- 23:46Speaker 2: So a lot of the first one is my own
- 23:49Speaker 2: personal rankings and things like that.
- 23:51Speaker 3: So reegs.
- 23:52Speaker 6: As I mentioned there with with who the Packers will
- 23:54Speaker 6: take on their first pick, obviously they need corners, Obviously
- 23:57Speaker 6: they need defensive linemen, probably some offense alignment as well.
- 24:00Speaker 6: They're one of the hidden spots that I think that
- 24:03Speaker 6: they're going to look at and potentially early, because if
- 24:05Speaker 6: you don't grab one early, you might not get one
- 24:08Speaker 6: that is an NFL, actual legit NFL player at that
- 24:11Speaker 6: spot is running back Where do you fall on the
- 24:14Speaker 6: running backs? Obviously love different caliber than everybody else that
- 24:18Speaker 6: is in that grouping, but I actually think his his
- 24:21Speaker 6: backup might be the second best guy in the draft
- 24:24Speaker 6: as well.
- 24:24Speaker 3: Where do you fall in on that position?
- 24:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think he's probably probably the third.
- 24:28Speaker 2: I Mike Washington is slightly ahead of him because of
- 24:30Speaker 2: the physical ability. I do feel that the Packers need
- 24:33Speaker 2: a running back, but I also feel that that's something
- 24:35Speaker 2: that they can address later on. I actually released also
- 24:38Speaker 2: my sleeper bus list, and I have two potential sleepers
- 24:42Speaker 2: on their Nicholas Singleton now that we're pretty familiar with
- 24:45Speaker 2: from Penn State is a guy that I really like it.
- 24:48Speaker 2: Everybody's sleeping on him, but I feel like in maybe
- 24:51Speaker 2: the fifth, sixth round they can grab him and he'd
- 24:53Speaker 2: be a great backup running back to Josh Jacobs for sure.
- 24:56Speaker 3: Rob Riger joining us. All right, so do you have
- 24:59Speaker 3: in the top ten? Maybe be three offensive lineman taking
- 25:02Speaker 3: Billy loves him some offensive line more, but yeah, three
- 25:05Speaker 3: or maybe four. I'm just wondering, what's the first position
- 25:08Speaker 3: we'll be talking about on Thursday night where there's a run?
- 25:11Speaker 3: Is that constitute a run? Three? Offensive linemen in the
- 25:13Speaker 3: first nine picks ten picks. I would say, so that
- 25:16Speaker 3: starts a run, but it's a stafe position. So what
- 25:19Speaker 3: when when the draft unfolds, was like, Oh, somebody's going
- 25:23Speaker 3: to break the seal and take a corner and here's
- 25:24Speaker 3: a run on corners. Like when what is that position?
- 25:27Speaker 3: Do you think?
- 25:28Speaker 2: I think it's wide receiver. I think that there's a
- 25:30Speaker 2: lot of teams out there that have that sneaky need
- 25:32Speaker 2: for a wide receiver. I think that a lot of
- 25:35Speaker 2: teams they don't want to be that first one because
- 25:37Speaker 2: you don't know if it's going to be McKay Lemon,
- 25:39Speaker 2: if it's going to be Jordan Tyson. Carnell Tape is
- 25:43Speaker 2: another possibility. But I feel like once that starts, I
- 25:47Speaker 2: feel like the dominoes are going to kind of fall
- 25:49Speaker 2: with that because you're potentially looking at maybe six wide
- 25:53Speaker 2: receivers in around one Casey Concepts Seals, another guy Omar Cooper.
- 25:58Speaker 2: There's a lot of receivers, probably six first round receivers,
- 26:02Speaker 2: but it may not start until I mean, on my thing,
- 26:05Speaker 2: I haven't at fourteen, but it could be a little
- 26:07Speaker 2: bit sooner than that because teams get a little antsy
- 26:09Speaker 2: this time because they don't want to miss out. So
- 26:11Speaker 2: then once the first receiver gets taken, teams are like,
- 26:14Speaker 2: oh shoot, we'd better look at that position as well.
- 26:16Speaker 2: So you never know what these runs. But I feel
- 26:19Speaker 2: are wide receiver, I mean offensive lineman I think will
- 26:21Speaker 2: always be pretty popular, you know with the folks, and
- 26:25Speaker 2: people want left tackles more than anything. But as far
- 26:28Speaker 2: as this raft goes, there's not a whole lot of
- 26:30Speaker 2: sure things when it comes to offensive line. There's a
- 26:33Speaker 2: guy from Miami, I mean, but now he has a
- 26:36Speaker 2: hernia disc So there's a couple of guys out there
- 26:38Speaker 2: that have a lot of question marks. So who knows?
- 26:41Speaker 3: I was going to ask you about the injury question
- 26:44Speaker 3: marks are injury reports projects by ORTH, thepedic Associates of Wisconsin,
- 26:47Speaker 3: maybe Best in the Business Arthur Wisconsin dot com or
- 26:49Speaker 3: the Betica Associates in Wisconsin. There is a difference. So
- 26:52Speaker 3: who are those other guys, like, you know, guys with
- 26:55Speaker 3: maybe knee issues or MRIs And you know that that
- 26:59Speaker 3: is interesting the ramifications of guy's health and their you know,
- 27:02Speaker 3: their medical file there is do they fall into the
- 27:06Speaker 3: sleeper category? Who are the guys with the kind of
- 27:08Speaker 3: clouds of uncertainty due to injury.
- 27:11Speaker 2: Well, the first one and probably the most well known,
- 27:14Speaker 2: is Jermald McCoy out of Tennessee. He missed the entire
- 27:17Speaker 2: season last year within knee injury, but prior to that
- 27:21Speaker 2: was considered the number one cornerback in the country and
- 27:24Speaker 2: it was actually competing for like a top five pick.
- 27:27Speaker 2: But he missed the entire season last year. So he's
- 27:29Speaker 2: a guy i'd be very interesting to see. I have
- 27:32Speaker 2: him going nine to Kansas City because they need to
- 27:34Speaker 2: replace Tree duffy McDuffie. But I mean, that's a guy.
- 27:39Speaker 2: Even the guy that I have going to the Packers
- 27:41Speaker 2: are Mason Thomas is kind of my my pick to
- 27:43Speaker 2: click for them. Who's a guy kind of a carbon
- 27:47Speaker 2: copy of Hassan Reddick, remember him a couple of years ago.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Jonathan Gant Jonathan Gannon's defense with Philadelphia. They're both six
- 27:55Speaker 2: one and a half, they're both two forty one, they
- 27:57Speaker 2: both have a lightning quick first step. They both are
- 27:59Speaker 2: pretty weakly against the run, but they're very, very quick
- 28:01Speaker 2: into the backfield. So I'm looking at that game in
- 28:03Speaker 2: defense and thinking, Okay, well, if we can get a
- 28:05Speaker 2: guy lightning quickly that can get into the backfield. We
- 28:08Speaker 2: can deal with other positions and maybe some faults that
- 28:11Speaker 2: he has, because let's face the guys, we're not going
- 28:13Speaker 2: to find the perfect prospect at fifty two. There's gonna
- 28:16Speaker 2: be guys with some wards. So I'm kind of looking
- 28:19Speaker 2: at that upside. What can this guy bring to the table.
- 28:21Speaker 2: He might be a one trick pony, but at that
- 28:23Speaker 2: one trick is elite, let's go for it. So he's
- 28:26Speaker 2: a guy he has some hamstring issues in college. Jordan
- 28:30Speaker 2: Tyson's the other guy that really stands out. He's an
- 28:33Speaker 2: elite wide receiver talent out of Arizona State, but he's
- 28:37Speaker 2: had about three injuries and typically, generally speaking, guys do
- 28:41Speaker 2: not get more healthy once they start playing seventeen eighteen
- 28:45Speaker 2: nineteen games depending on the playoffs.
- 28:47Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the part of it.
- 28:48Speaker 6: If you're dinged up going into the NFL, hard for
- 28:51Speaker 6: me to believe you're going to all of a sudden
- 28:53Speaker 6: find a fountain of health once you get to the NFL.
- 28:55Speaker 6: And like you mentioned, he's not even just the players
- 28:57Speaker 6: are different. It's the schedule is different. Plays so many
- 29:00Speaker 6: more games and so many more snaps on it. One
- 29:03Speaker 6: guy that I just I've watched a ton of it.
- 29:06Speaker 6: They're on to steal the duke line. Ohio State's on
- 29:10Speaker 6: TV more than leave it to Beaver, So you've seen
- 29:12Speaker 6: them all the time. What are we missing with Caleb
- 29:15Speaker 6: Downs or is it just simply that he plays safety
- 29:18Speaker 6: and not corner a linebacker. Because I've watched this guy
- 29:20Speaker 6: since he was at Bama and then at Ohio State.
- 29:23Speaker 6: He's like the best player on the field whenever he
- 29:25Speaker 6: steps onto a field. It's a difficult task when the position,
- 29:31Speaker 6: the value of the position is different. Sunny style, same way.
- 29:34Speaker 6: But man Caleb Downs has looked like an NFL player
- 29:37Speaker 6: since he was a true freshman. Feels like somebody is
- 29:40Speaker 6: going to get an absolute steal wherever he goes later
- 29:42Speaker 6: in that top ten, if potentially even after it.
- 29:46Speaker 2: You know, by compas for him, by compas Zader McKinney,
- 29:48Speaker 2: it's almost a carbon copy. It's as the type of
- 29:51Speaker 2: player he is. And the reason sometimes guys like that
- 29:53Speaker 2: gets slept on is because they don't have an elite trait.
- 29:57Speaker 2: So when you watch their highlight film, there are certain
- 30:00Speaker 2: guys that stand out. You're watching their highlights Caleb Downs
- 30:04Speaker 2: is just a solid across the board player. He's always
- 30:07Speaker 2: in the right place at the right time. He's very
- 30:10Speaker 2: sure of what he does, is a great tackular, good
- 30:12Speaker 2: ball skills. I don't feel like he has that elite
- 30:17Speaker 2: trait that you can really hang your head on, but
- 30:19Speaker 2: he's like above average too excellent at everything, so he
- 30:23Speaker 2: doesn't have any faults in his game, and sometimes those
- 30:26Speaker 2: guys do get slipt on. Zader McKinney was a second
- 30:28Speaker 2: round pick and he's flourished. He's been great on the
- 30:31Speaker 2: Packers the last two years, even last year. Look at
- 30:33Speaker 2: his stats. His stats weren't great last year, but anybody
- 30:36Speaker 2: that watched him play saw that he was making a
- 30:38Speaker 2: true impact during every single game with the Packers. So
- 30:42Speaker 2: I feel like Caleb Downs is kind of that same
- 30:44Speaker 2: category that he's not going to wow you with these
- 30:47Speaker 2: upside plays, but he's just always going to do the
- 30:49Speaker 2: right thing and be in the right place, right time.
- 30:50Speaker 3: Chatting with Rob Riger, our draft go to guy, read
- 30:53Speaker 3: his stuff the Cheesehead TV Draft Guy, which is amazing
- 30:56Speaker 3: and at NFL Draft Leagues on the X as well.
- 31:01Speaker 3: All Right, Rigs, I normally would not give a rats
- 31:03Speaker 3: ass about what happens in Jerry world. But this year
- 31:07Speaker 3: is a little different because they're holding that twentieth pick
- 31:10Speaker 3: that the Packers gave them. I'd rather have Michael Parsons
- 31:11Speaker 3: and whoever is drafted at twenty. But with the twelfth
- 31:14Speaker 3: and twentieth pick, what are the Cowboys do? Because I'm
- 31:17Speaker 3: gonna be fascinated if they take one, if not two
- 31:20Speaker 3: edge guys to try to make up for Michaeh. Parsons
- 31:22Speaker 3: being gone. They're okay, I guess in that position, but
- 31:25Speaker 3: they they might need some depth. What's going to happen
- 31:28Speaker 3: with those two picks? How will Jerry screw it up?
- 31:31Speaker 2: You know? The funny thing with the Dallas Cowboys is,
- 31:33Speaker 2: believe it or not, with all of their I guess
- 31:36Speaker 2: drama that they always have, they are pretty good at drafting.
- 31:39Speaker 2: They draft very good players and they don't do a
- 31:42Speaker 2: top five or top ten. Michael Parsons was the eleventh
- 31:45Speaker 2: pick in the draft. Basically all Zach Martin, Ceedee Lamb,
- 31:48Speaker 2: all these guys were not top ten picks, but they're
- 31:51Speaker 2: yet star players. Dak Pstcocker was a third round pick,
- 31:55Speaker 2: and that's just you know what they do now? Twelve
- 31:58Speaker 2: and twenty is interesting because they don't have a second
- 32:00Speaker 2: round pick, so there's a lot of speculation that they
- 32:02Speaker 2: might try to move up. But if you want to
- 32:05Speaker 2: move up and give up twelve and twenty, like, do
- 32:08Speaker 2: you really want to wait until the third round? Like
- 32:10Speaker 2: that player has to hit one hundred percent otherwise you're screwed.
- 32:14Speaker 2: I think they're better off just taking the guy at twelve,
- 32:16Speaker 2: maybe an edge rusher or a corner and then going
- 32:19Speaker 2: back to twenty and taking the reverse. So they definitely
- 32:21Speaker 2: need a cornerback. They definitely needed an edge rusher. Get
- 32:24Speaker 2: him on those rookie deals and see what happens. So,
- 32:26Speaker 2: I mean, we'll see, we'll see what the Dallas Cowboys do.
- 32:29Speaker 2: But typically of all Jerry's drama, they're very good at
- 32:33Speaker 2: drafting star players.
- 32:34Speaker 6: Yeah, they're good at drafting them. They're just not good
- 32:36Speaker 6: at resigning them. Like they're there's a rutal of the negotiations.
- 32:39Speaker 6: They're pretty good at the draft part of it. One
- 32:41Speaker 6: guy that goes in in REGs the mock that you
- 32:44Speaker 6: put up here, and he's right in that fifty to
- 32:46Speaker 6: fifty two range. Uh, people might know him and might
- 32:50Speaker 6: recognize him from Illinois, and I've heard his name pronounced
- 32:52Speaker 6: about nineteen hundred times. Gape Jakis, jackis Jacks. My man
- 32:56Speaker 6: just produces and has played a bunch of football. And
- 33:00Speaker 6: you want to talk about a guy that gets to
- 33:01Speaker 6: the quarterback and gets him onto the onto the ground.
- 33:04Speaker 6: The twenty six sacks over two years in the Big
- 33:07Speaker 6: Ten is nothing to sneeze at. And he feels like
- 33:09Speaker 6: he's going to be right in that wheelhouse.
- 33:11Speaker 2: Yeah, he's about as rock solid as he gets as
- 33:13Speaker 2: a player. Now with Johnathan again, and for the people
- 33:17Speaker 2: at home that you might not realize that there is
- 33:18Speaker 2: going to be a slight adjustment in the base defense.
- 33:21Speaker 2: Jeff Affley ranal fourth three primarily, and I know that
- 33:24Speaker 2: you know they run Nikolin Diamond all that stuff. But
- 33:27Speaker 2: Jonathan again and typically runs a three four. So you're
- 33:29Speaker 2: looking at maybe a different kind of player. And I
- 33:32Speaker 2: think that Yakis is a guy that can fit into
- 33:34Speaker 2: basically any scheme. He's he has a great size. I'd
- 33:37Speaker 2: say that one thing that he lacks a little bit
- 33:39Speaker 2: is that explosiveness. And that's kind of why I prefer
- 33:41Speaker 2: a guy like Thomas or Mason Thomas ahead of him
- 33:44Speaker 2: because of the explosiveness. But if you're just looking for
- 33:46Speaker 2: a solid, rock, solid starter on your team, you cannot
- 33:50Speaker 2: go wrong with Yakis. He's about his stout. He's great
- 33:52Speaker 2: against the run, he gets into the back fIF, he
- 33:54Speaker 2: works hard, never takes a playoff. And say, say what
- 33:57Speaker 2: you want about Brett Bieliman, and I'm I'm a big
- 34:00Speaker 2: fan of him, you know, especially since he left Wisconsin
- 34:02Speaker 2: and said he was going to like a big time
- 34:04Speaker 2: program at Arkansas. See that worked out for him. But anyways,
- 34:10Speaker 2: he knows how to develop defensive players and he's a
- 34:12Speaker 2: great defensive coach. And those guys year after year after
- 34:15Speaker 2: year are very well coached and they typically do really
- 34:18Speaker 2: well in the NFL.
- 34:19Speaker 3: All right, Riggs, you're a small school sleeper guy. Anybody
- 34:22Speaker 3: from the weak the National Champion Talk Falcons perhaps, or
- 34:27Speaker 3: anybody on the radar small schools wise?
- 34:31Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I mean we can go to We mentioned
- 34:34Speaker 2: him last week. Trey Lance's brother Bryce Lance is a
- 34:36Speaker 2: big is a is a big guy for me. There's
- 34:39Speaker 2: a guy to keep your eye on right now that
- 34:41Speaker 2: I feel people are really released sleeping on. It's a
- 34:43Speaker 2: guy by the name of Eli heiden Reich out of Navy.
- 34:48Speaker 2: He pretty much played, you know, on the backfield. They
- 34:50Speaker 2: kind of moved him out a little bit. This guy
- 34:52Speaker 2: had the second fastest three cone time in the history
- 34:57Speaker 2: of the combine. He was putting up like Christian mccaf
- 35:00Speaker 2: and Eli heiden Reich are like in the same breath
- 35:03Speaker 2: as far as lateral quick as it's concerned. A lot
- 35:05Speaker 2: of teams view him as a potential like Wes Welker,
- 35:07Speaker 2: Julian Edelman type guy. I'm really really shifty back and forth.
- 35:11Speaker 2: Eli heiden Reich is one guy, and there's a There's
- 35:14Speaker 2: another guy from a small school. His name's Charles Demings,
- 35:17Speaker 2: and I would really love it if the Packers took him.
- 35:19Speaker 2: He's a cornerback up of Stephen F. Austin. He's one
- 35:22Speaker 2: of the guys that I profiled for the chis a
- 35:23Speaker 2: TV draft guide and there's really nothing wrong with this guy.
- 35:27Speaker 2: He's an elite athlete, is great size. He needs a
- 35:29Speaker 2: little bit from a technique standpoint, but I mean that's
- 35:31Speaker 2: kind of what coaches are for, is coaches guys up
- 35:34Speaker 2: and get him ready. So those are the two kind
- 35:36Speaker 2: of smaller schools Sleepers Demings.
- 35:38Speaker 3: And hid and right to keep your eye on what
- 35:39Speaker 3: about Sorry.
- 35:40Speaker 6: One last one for was that a big school went
- 35:43Speaker 6: to a small school. What do you make of Skyler
- 35:46Speaker 6: Bell's NFL candidacy because he went from middle of the
- 35:50Speaker 6: road wide receiver to dominating at Yukon.
- 35:54Speaker 2: Yep, Yeah, he's actually he actually made my sleeper list
- 35:57Speaker 2: that that's just dropped, So he's he's one of those guys.
- 36:00Speaker 2: I also profiled him as well as I feel like
- 36:02Speaker 2: he maybe needed that change of scenery. I don't know.
- 36:04Speaker 2: It was a bad quarterback play at Wisconsin, but he
- 36:06Speaker 2: never seemed to fit with what they're doing. But he
- 36:09Speaker 2: kind of flashed every once in a while. But then
- 36:12Speaker 2: at you kind of had that opportunity in a really
- 36:14Speaker 2: good quarterback. There Fore gano and and he's a he
- 36:17Speaker 2: might be an NFL player as well. I like Skyler
- 36:20Speaker 2: bella a lot. I think he'd be a great in
- 36:21Speaker 2: the slot. He has really his strong hands, and he
- 36:25Speaker 2: is another guy that can really shift in and out
- 36:27Speaker 2: in His lateral quickness is way up there as well.
- 36:30Speaker 3: Anybody from Wisconsin can get their name called before the
- 36:33Speaker 3: end of the weekend.
- 36:34Speaker 6: Well, the namesake might have a chance. Mason Roger's got
- 36:37Speaker 6: the best chance, right ree exactly.
- 36:38Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he'll he'll get drafted. I mean he'll be Yeah,
- 36:40Speaker 2: he's almost his assistant cousin, I think before he changed
- 36:45Speaker 2: their name.
- 36:46Speaker 3: Vine Ante is a really interesting one.
- 36:48Speaker 6: I thought I always thought Sunday player, but he's His
- 36:51Speaker 6: testing didn't necessarily bode very well.
- 36:53Speaker 2: I mean, Nolan Roucchie was a Wisconsin Badger and he
- 36:57Speaker 2: I mean he transferred to Penn State. He'll probably get drafted,
- 36:59Speaker 2: and Riley Moulman is probably going to get drafted as well. Yeah,
- 37:03Speaker 2: he'll he'll be like a backup back though maybe a
- 37:04Speaker 2: swing back the Wisconsin guy.
- 37:07Speaker 6: No, yeah, no, but he's gonna be back in college
- 37:09Speaker 6: next year, so otherwise otherwise he would be potentially in
- 37:13Speaker 6: that mix. So I'm I'm fascinated as to where they'll
- 37:15Speaker 6: end up going. But ryger earlier, probably on day three
- 37:19Speaker 6: than people anticipate, because you can rush the passer people
- 37:22Speaker 6: are going to give.
- 37:23Speaker 3: And he was he was. Was he at the Shrine
- 37:25Speaker 3: Bowl or Senior Bowl? Which number one?
- 37:28Speaker 5: It was?
- 37:28Speaker 6: He tore up and people were loving him at the
- 37:31Speaker 6: All Star Games.
- 37:32Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he was at the Senior Bowl and he
- 37:34Speaker 2: he did really well in the one on ones and
- 37:36Speaker 2: that's something that scouts pay very close attention to is
- 37:39Speaker 2: because a lot of times your scheme can dictate a
- 37:40Speaker 2: lot of different things like actually on the field. But
- 37:43Speaker 2: when you're Mono Mimano, when you're at those practices, you know,
- 37:46Speaker 2: they look for the cornerbacks guarding the receivers, the receivers
- 37:48Speaker 2: you know, running routes, and they and the pass rushers
- 37:51Speaker 2: against the offensive line. They're talking about best on best
- 37:54Speaker 2: there one on one, and Mason Reger really dominated that
- 37:57Speaker 2: Senior Bowl, so I expect I agree with you, Billy.
- 38:00Speaker 2: I feel like probably round early, round four, he's going
- 38:03Speaker 2: to be a candidate for that.
- 38:04Speaker 3: All right, Riegs, thanks for your input. We will catch
- 38:07Speaker 3: up with you again two days until we start. Here
- 38:09Speaker 3: in the chimes of the NFL Draft are coverage presented

- 38:20Speaker 3: By the way, you have that figured out yet? That's

- 39:21Speaker 6: Well, this one actually came as our friend Dave Gasper
- 39:25Speaker 6: sent us this from w CB Walkeshaw, which is just
- 39:30Speaker 6: the public safety and community awareness page, lets you know
- 39:33Speaker 6: what's happening around the town and around the city. Well,
- 39:36Speaker 6: seven p thirty one last night on Lincoln Avenue near
- 39:40Speaker 6: in Westallis, this man was cited for indecent, disorderly and
- 39:44Speaker 6: unknown conduct. Officer reporting drew at seven thirty six a
- 39:50Speaker 6: nude man dancing on a pole at the intersection Oh
- 39:55Speaker 6: Boy One. Officer sadly had to deploy a taser to
- 39:59Speaker 6: the young man. Does not say where that was connected.
- 40:03Speaker 6: But the nude man dancing on the pole yesterday, now
- 40:06Speaker 6: I don't know if he was celebrating using promo cod
- 40:08Speaker 6: huddle and he just didn't know how to contain his
- 40:11Speaker 6: emotions and excitement realizing that he had just gotten forty
- 40:15Speaker 6: two percent off and free shipping. But apparently that's one
- 40:19Speaker 6: way you couldn't They celebrated yesterday the only way, not
- 40:23Speaker 6: the only way, one of the only ways that you
- 40:25Speaker 6: were going to get in trouble, celebrating the incredible deal
- 40:28Speaker 6: by our friends Rob and Chris.
- 40:30Speaker 3: You know, dancing naked an intersection on a pole. That'll
- 40:33Speaker 3: do it.
- 40:33Speaker 5: That'll get your taste. Just another night in West Dallas,
- 40:36Speaker 5: you know. And I used to live there. I used
- 40:37Speaker 5: to live in West Allis.
- 40:38Speaker 2: I know you know what I mean.
- 40:39Speaker 3: Were you ever dancing nakedly on a pole it's seven
- 40:42Speaker 3: thirty one at night, Well, not nakedly.
- 40:44Speaker 5: I might have been dancing in the streets or at
- 40:46Speaker 5: some point after a bar or something like that, but
- 40:48Speaker 5: I never was naked, So I'll say that for sure.
- 40:51Speaker 3: But let me say something. You're pretty certain about that.
- 40:53Speaker 5: If I'm naked dancing on a pole, I've definitely not
- 40:56Speaker 5: putting myself in a situation in a taste. I feel
- 40:59Speaker 5: like that's extra because that could tase the wrong areas.
- 41:03Speaker 5: You don't want to get hit by that taser in
- 41:05Speaker 5: the wrong spot, you know what I'm saying.
- 41:06Speaker 3: So I watched the Hangover.
- 41:07Speaker 5: This guy's is risk taking right there?
- 41:09Speaker 3: Man, Yeah, I watched the Hangover. Oh right, not right there?
- 41:13Speaker 5: Yeah, brutal, No, but he learned his lesson.
- 41:16Speaker 3: I bet that.
- 41:17Speaker 6: Do you think the guy went down like Zach Allafanakis
- 41:20Speaker 6: where maybe they just had to walk up next to him,
- 41:22Speaker 6: some of these big old boys, you gotta give a
- 41:23Speaker 6: little second cholt.
- 41:24Speaker 5: So maybe maybe, But uh, I think we have to
- 41:27Speaker 5: go back to a happy place to get some some pain.
- 41:30Speaker 5: Relief there.
- 41:30Speaker 6: Well, he's gonna get twenty five percent off now. Hopefully
- 41:33Speaker 6: you enjoyed the massive deal that you got before, because
- 41:36Speaker 6: it is a different deal that you're getting here today.

- 41:58Speaker 3: And way to have a clean hour here on the
- 41:59Speaker 3: way out. Ye feel good. Finish.
- 42:01Speaker 6: Portal closes at midnight tonight. I think Badgers have done
- 42:05Speaker 6: some robust work Miami of Ohio training. They basically got
- 42:08Speaker 6: their whole starting five and one of them back out
- 42:10Speaker 6: of the transfer portal and Austin.
- 42:11Speaker 3: Rap We like that deal outstanding. Tomorrow will be another
- 42:15Speaker 3: day close to the draft. It'll be a hot take
- 42:17Speaker 3: hump day. We'll be humping hot takes all day and

- 42:21Speaker 3: playoffs open tomorrow for the admirals. If I'm not, thanks
