• 0:12
  Speaker 2: When I say the phrase NFL supplemental drafts, what comes
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: to mind? Probably not much, but maybe Josh Gordon.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: But we may be talking about supplemental drafts because NFL
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: front offices have to think about what to do in
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: this NFL supplemental drafts because Brendan Soorsby has become a
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: topic of conversation. So the former Cincinnati and Indiana quarterback
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: was set to transfer to Texas Tech for a final
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: collegiate season, but a ninety thousand dollars run of sports
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: betting uncovered from his time at the University of Indiana
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: made a return to college football impossible. Earlier this offseason,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: while he was still wearing his options, he attended rehab
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: for gambling and anxiety disorder, and NFC EXAC reportedly thinks
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: this of Sorby, said he an excellent easy thrower, the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: ability to make every throw. Big good athlete, can go
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: off schedule, can rush for touchdowns in short yardage or
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: goal line situations. Lots of highlights with like more consistency,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: but a first round talent for sure.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: A lot of people feel like he is a first
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: round talent.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: There have been some serious names that have come from
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the supplemental draft Bernie co Star shout out to Bernie,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Brian Bosworth, Chris Carter, Ahmad Brooks, throughout Pryor Josh Gordon.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: As I mentioned, league evaluators did want to see so
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: as we play another season at Texas Tech before the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: sports gambling issue was exposed.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: His college record is fourteen and twenty one.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: He probably needed another season just to be a little
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: more refined.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: He's six three, two thirty five.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: He is stronger at the runs and as a scrambler.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: He doesn't have.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Deep shot accuracy on throws over twenty air yards. His
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: off target ragy three point nine percent last season, and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: he has been above thirty percent in every season. He
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: has some really good stuff on tape, but he also
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: has a lot of bad misses. He averages nine point
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: seven yards per air attempt, but he's not as good
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: with the long distance throws, and he's you know, when
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it comes to the scrambling quarterbacks, it's a whole different situation.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: When you get to the NFL. The NFL level defenders
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: are faster than college, so you can make someone look
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: silly in college with that stuff, but that's not going
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to always work off the cuff in the NFL. But
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: he does have some raw talents, obviously, the issue is
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that he didn't have that year at Texas Tech to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: get more refined, and he has the off the field
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: issue of gambling. Now, gambling has always been a touchy
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: topic when it comes to sports, and when it started
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to become legal, a lot of people were freaking out
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: about the you know what this was going to mean
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: for athletes. Overall, I think it's been handled very well.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: They have pretty serious safeguards in place to track these things.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: If you want to gamble with the bookie.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: And off the record, you're going to do that regardless.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: But you know, I do tend to think that most
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: athletes don't have an issue with this. Now. They may
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: play poker, may play cards, but they're not really gonna gamble.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: We don't hear that much of them gambling on sports.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: It's drilled into every athlete what the consequences are, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you know, I do understand it's caught up a couple
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: guys it's the young person. I don't like calling them kids,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: but this is a young person, and I do think
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it's a good step that he went to rehab, and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: if teams feel like he is worth taking a risk
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: on in a quarterback starve league, I think it could
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: be worth it. There are busts in the regular draft
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: every single year. The supplemental draft is a risk. Obviously,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you know, no pick doesn't have any value, but I
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: think that.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: At that position, it's kind of worth the risk.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Gambling obviously is something that you want to watch and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: it's very risky, and I could definitely see why organizations
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: would not want to take the risk of bringing someone
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: in who has that on their resume. But I think that,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you know, the consequences have obviously been dire, so hopefully
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: if he is in a better place mentally and emotionally
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to come into the NFL and earn his way up.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, a quarterback is there are so so so
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: many teams that need quarterbacks. I don't know if he's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: going to work in the NFL. Nobody does. It is
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a position that I honestly don't take any evaluator seriously on,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Like it's just information. There's been so many misses at
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that position that I think, honestly, at this point, you
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: should just draft it at volume. So yeah, I mean,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I see a team taking a risk on him regardless
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of the off the field issues, and you know, he's
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: just somebody who's going to have to show consistency in
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: his work off the field to show that he's serious
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: about never having a problem with gambling.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Again, let's get into some sneaker talk.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark announced her signature shoe release dates on October
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: first of this year.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: She announced it this week.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: She's become the third current WMNBA player to sign a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: deal with Nike, the fifth current WNBA player with their
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: own shoe. Sabrinaornesco, Asia Wilson, Breonna Stewarts, and Angel Reese
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: also have shoes. She said, this is like your debut album.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: You want it to be killer. There's a lot of
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Easter eggs all over the shoes that people can search
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: through the shoe and kind of find the shoe looks
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: like one when you're watching me on the court, but
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: when you're physically holding your hands seat it up close.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of little discoverables for the consumer, which
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I think is really fun too. This is a hooper shoe.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: This is a hooper shoe. This is this is not
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: a you know, regular sneaker. I really think, like looking
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: at all the current sneakers, Angel Reese's is the only
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: shoe that could also translate off the court, Like all
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: of all these women's shoes are very much too hoopin'.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: You're not getting a Jordan type shoe.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I think even Kyrie's shoes currently you can wear off
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the court.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: So this is the Hooper shoe.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: It will reportly sell for one forty in North America
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: one thirty five in the rest of the world.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I remember when.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Cheryl Swoops first got her shoe, and like, Cheryl was
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the god to me as a young woman playing basketball,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: young girl playing basketball.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Really, I should say.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Stewie and Elena del Don debuted their signature shoes in
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and yeah, it's it's always been an honor.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: It's really reserved for the stars of the stars in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the WNBA to have a shoe. Obviously, Caitlin Clark was
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: going to have a signature shoe and will have one
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: for her whole career. I mean, she's she is one
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: of the stars of the league, and it's certainly, like
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I've said a million times, very polarized, has a huge
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: fan base and has done a lot for the.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Sport, so I'm excited to see how they sell.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: They I like them, I think they're cool. I like
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the design. I want to see what other colorways she has.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: There's supposed to be some other colorways, so I want
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to check those out. But yeah, it's a it's a
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: nice design. If I was a Hooper, I would I
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: would try it out. It's supposed to have reduced drag
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and enhance on court movement, So yeah, I mean, if
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: you're a hooper and you're looking for a new shoe
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to try out, check out Caitlyn's and comes out in October.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Before we go, let's head back to the football field.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about Philly's favorite coach, Nick Sirianni.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Part of the reason why I think Eagles fans love
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to hate him so much is because he's he's kind
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: of like one of them. We've seen him barking on
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the sidelines and getting into fans, getting it into it
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: with players. In a recent article, Syriana acknowledged that, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: he's a little rough around the edges, but he doesn't
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: want to change. He said bleep that you've got to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: be you, especially in leadership roles, because otherwise people are
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: going to see through it.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I'm at work way more than I'm at home.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I can't possibly carry a facade of being somebody else
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: for going on six years.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Of a job.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I'd have to be the best actor in the world.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I'd be a way better actor than Joey Tribiani on Friends.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Really weird reference for being the greatest actor.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: In the world. Although I did an excellent job.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: He gets a lot of grief for someone who is
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: fifty nine and twenty six regular season record, fifth and
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: winning percentage in NFL history, super Bowl champion, someone who
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: has the Eagles competing for a Super Bowl every single year.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I was not a fan of Nicksirianni when he first
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: hit the scene. I mean that opening press conference was
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: an absolute disaster. I have since softened on it because
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I do realize that everyone is not, you know, a
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: professional speaker, and he's gotten better. But it was a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: pretty bumpy start for him in Philly, and he's had
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: some missteps for sure. I do not like him barking
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: at fans. I think it's ridiculous. I get what he's saying,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: be your authentic self, but you're also the leader. You're
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: also in charge. You're also under a lot of scrutiny.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: You don't do your team any favors. So I do
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: think it's really hard for players to model the mode
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: of the coach when he is arguing with fans. I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: do think there's a level of being yourself and also
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: being a professional that you can walk. And overall, I'm
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a defender of Nick Sirianni because I think he's an
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: excellent coach and I think he has proven what he
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: is capable of doing.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Year after year.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: He had a lot of scrutiny after he lost his
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: original staff of coordinators, but yeah, your second choice might
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: not be as good as your first choice, and his
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: first choice coordinators were excellent.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And that's always been my defense of him. He's really
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: good at hiring.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: The criticism of him is that he's not really in
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: charge of the offense and creative with it.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Hire great people and run.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: The place, and he does that at a very very
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: high level. I do get it what he's saying. You know,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: you got to be authentic, You're there all the time,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: people are going to see through it. I've always felt
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: that there is a balance between authenticity and unprofessionalism, that.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: You always have to walk.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Nobody's asking you to be a fake, but maybe to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: control your emotions and not yell at fans. Is like,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's kind of fair, especially at that position.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: If you're a wide receiver, if you're a cornerback, you know,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: if you're a player at all, you know you even
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: though I don't love it, like maybe you have a moment,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: but you're the head coach, Like there's got to be
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: sometimes when you kind of reel it back. But overall,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I think he's a great coach. I don't get the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: heavy scrutiny of him, and I think that Philly is
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: going to be right back compeating at a championship level
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: again this year. So for more on this and other
