  Speaker 2: from what else but the Draft. Now we are hours
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: away from the main event in the pig Skin Galaxy,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: and the Tennessee Titans are on the clock as they
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: have the number one overall pick in Now, we've had
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the build up, we've had the anticipation, we've had all that.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: We also have, most likely cam Ward who is expected
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to be the very top pick.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I've been reading these draft guides in previews for the
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: last two months because I'm a loser, been watching the
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: draft coverage and consuming it looking for content on the show.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And I watched a bunch of clips of cam Ward.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I saw him play a little bit at Miami. I
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: didn't see him play that much, but I watched the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: highlights of cam Ward.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: He played more at Washington State than he at Miami.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Another transfer portal quarterback, Nil Baby some of the compso
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: he has been compared in recent days to Caleb Williams,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: who was drafted number one and looked incompetent with the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Bears last season in terms of sacks and all that,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and also been compared to Patrick Mahomes.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And this is a pet peeve of mine.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: And since I do not go to therapy, I go
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to the microphone and the headphones and I spill my
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: guts out right here.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: It's a pet peeve of mine.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: The NFL draft comparison game is a hustle, right, It's
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: a Obdul Carter has been compared to Michael Parsons, Ashton Gent,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the running back from Boise State.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: They've said he's just like Alvin Kamara, et cetera. I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: can go on. If you want, you want more, You're good. Okay,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you're good.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: So let us discuss the question with cam Ward being
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: compared to Patrick Mahomes and just in general, just in general,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: what is the word for these NFL draft comparisons. So
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I've got catch of the day, forefather and farmers market,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: we are going to make some bamboo is what we're
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: going to make. And then we're gonna make the bamboo,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and we're going to then have some gabbaghool is what
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: we're going to have. So to begin with to answer
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the question in general, what is the word for these
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: NFL draft comparisons, my word is sports fishing, because that's
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: what this has become.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Imagine, if you will, a.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: World where you are thirty miles off the coast in
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: international waters. You're deep sea fishing, you're sports fishing, and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the catch of the day is the puffer fish is
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the catch of the day. The NFL draft player comparisons
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: are hyperbole by design.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: They're hyperbole.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Now, fast wide receiver is not just compared to like
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of some recent wide receivers that
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: were pretty fast that sucked. There are a lot of them,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: but you're always compared to Tyreek Hill.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Maybe not this.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Week because Tyreek's had bad a couple of weeks, but
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: all elite quarterbacks are the next Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: It is a cottage industry, and we know it. We
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: get it, we understand it. Every man, woman and child
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: knows it's a cottage industry designed to simplify the scouting,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: to generate excitement, to generate buzz for the draft. And
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: nobody's clicking on a story that says cam Ward is
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the next guard Minshew. No one's clicking on that story.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: No one's clicking on that right. Add some rasmatazz. If
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: you really want good laughs and you want to chuckle,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: go back and read some old draft guides on comps
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: of players and look at the ones that didn't make it,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: and it's it's outstanding, But you got to add that razmataz,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the bizazz.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: And all that.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: And the comps are crafted. We know what was going
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: on there. They're crafted to get clicks and to sell,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: to sell the story. It's it's is it fiction or nonfiction.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: It's engagement. Farming is what it is.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: And the vast majority and you're not supposed to say
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: this part out loud because it is the NFL Draft
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: and it's an important time. And are we going to
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: spend almost the entire show talking about what happened in
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: the first round of the draft. Yes, we will likely
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: do that, but the vast majority of those players that
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: will be picked never will taste greatness. You're looking at
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: a draft where, if you're lucky, you're going to get
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: a garden variety player. Now, what is my supporting evidence
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: on Well, let's go to the numbers since twenty ten.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Way back in twenty ten, I was.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: A little kid about what percentage of players who have
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: been called generational they've been compared to generational?
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: That's the comp What.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Percentage have earned All Pro honors since twenty ten? You
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: gotta guess, all right, the answer twenty five percent. Twenty
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: five percent. That means you, in baseball you're a two
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: fifty hitter. That also means that you fail seventy five
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: percent of the time. And those are the players that
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: have been called generational. So those are the top one percent.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: The Kreme de la Krem and your generational and you're
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: failing seventy five percent of the time. But wait, there's more.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: How about the quarterbacks. We love quarterbacks, We get horny
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: for quarterbacks. Since twenty fifteen, what percentage of first round
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks with high profile comps Mahomes, Tom Brady, Peyton, Manning,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: those those type things. What percentage have met expectations.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Within the first three years? The answer you got one? Okay,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: lock it in, lock it, don't cheat.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: The answer fifteen percent. That's a one to fifty batting average,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: one fifty in the last ten years with high profile
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: can't miss comps.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Gonna be great, gonna be great.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Why is that, Well, it's obviously different. We know that
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: college football in the NFL. More importantly, NFL's success is
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: it is the the old line. Coaches back in the
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: old days long gone used to say, like Bill Walsh
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: from me his era, that it takes.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: A village, right.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: You got to have the coaching, You got to have
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: the scheme a the player has to have the proper attitude,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: the perseverance, the work ethic and all that. You got
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: to have decent teammates. And you can't predict that. You
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: can't properly predict it. But all of these players will
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: have a hunting moon period when they get drafted, which
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: is good for them.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Now. Furthermore, the grand Poobah of the NFL draft is
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: this guy, mel Kiper Jr. Mel Kiper Jr. Was like
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the original nerd.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: He got in early before other nerds got in. Now
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: all nerds have taken over sports. But melt Kuiper was
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: like the early bird worm nerd, and the early bird
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: worm nerd got the got the job. Our colleague here
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: at Fox Sports Radio. Recently, Dan Patrick has been campaigning
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to get melk Kuiper's.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Junior into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. So we
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: are going to play a little game called you make
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the call. It's a fun game. I have now deputized you.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: You are in a.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Smoke filled room in Canton, Ohio, and you are on
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: a panel to decide who gets in to the Hall
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: of Fame and who doesn't. You are now in charge
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: NFL draft pundit.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Mel Kiper or is on the ballot. You have a vote.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Your vote will be the deciding vote. Does he pass
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: or fail the test? Does mel Kuiper Junior get a
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: vote from you? The deciding vote to go to the
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. Now I'm gonna go first, and I
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: now have the deciding vote, and I'm.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Going to give him a yellow jacket. I'm going to
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: give him a gold jacket.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I am going to say yes, I'll be Benny brightsiut
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: on this one.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: The Pete Roselle Radio.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Television Award, which rightfully will go to Brent Mussburger this year.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: You're looking live love love that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Musburger was such a degenerate gambler back in the day
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: that he used that line to let people betting on
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: football know the weather conditions at NFL games.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: So Musburger is going in the Hall of Fame this year,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: and he should. He deserves to be in the Hall
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: of Fame.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: He is. If you're around my age, you grew.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Up with Musburger calling NFL doing studio shows for the NFL.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: So deserves it. But that war. The Pete Roselle Award
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: for Television.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Is given annually by the Hall of Fame for long
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: time exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: and Milk Kuiper checks the box longevity and impact. Melt
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Kiper as the early were the early bird worm, as
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: we call him, melt Kiper Junior is the forefather of
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: the modern draft. You cannot tell the history of the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: pro football draft becoming this monster during this year out
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: mentioning mel Kuiper's name. Now, that doesn't mean he's right.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: He gets most of his predictions wrong. He has no
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: idea what he's doing. But when you think about in
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: terms of actually analysis, but it's not about that, it's
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: about entertainment. And he started as the lead analyst in
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four. The rumor that I heard was nobody
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: else wanted the job. Like it was they were annoyed
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: they were doing the draft. A guy I used to
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: worry that this man told me this. I don't know,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: he was pulling my cham It was like the draft
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: was seen as an unbecoming thing.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Was it was not very important.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: And nobody really wanted to do it because there were
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of names and you didn't have a lot
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: of information before the Internet and all that stuff. So
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: they had this guy mel Kuiper, and they're like, oh,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: let's just let mel do it. Nobody else wants to
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: do it, Melo do it. And in that time he
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: has turned this in partsally, not just him, but the
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: popularity of the NFL.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: It is a major event.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Before he got on the scene as the daddy, the forefather,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the draft with a was a niche situation. A lot
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: of younger, younger lads and gals do not understand it.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: They used to hold this thing at like the Marriott
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Marquee Hotel in Manhattan, just a random hotel in Manhattan.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: There wasn't a lot of attention.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: But I think the first time they broadcast the draft,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: the NFL's like, why would you do that?
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Who would want to watch that?
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: And now they have over fifty million viewers and.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: A lot of people.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I don't believe the attendance the NFL throws out for
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: the Draft. They're claiming hundreds of thousands of people and yeah,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: that attend I don't know how much that is accurate,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: but there's a lot of people that do go.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: There's a lot. Is it that many?
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: So mel Kiper never worked for an NFL team, that'll
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: be held against him. There's always been pushback. One of
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: the more famous moments. A lot of people are too
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: young to even know about this now, but in nineteen
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: ninety four, there was a a loggerhead situation with this
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: guy Bill Tobin, the GM of the Colts, who famously asked,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: who the hell is mel Kuiper, Who the hell is
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: mel Kiper?
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Iconic? I put him in, I put him in, I'd
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: put him in. Why not?
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: It's it is, and it's like the late in baseball.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do something that no one's ever done. I'm
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: gonna compare mel Kuiper to Fernando Valenzuela. So I used
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: to tell back when I was in good good standing
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: with the Dodgers.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not anymore. But back when I was and I had.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Friends out there, I'd tell this, the most important Dodger
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: was Fernando Valenzuela.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: There are generations in.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: The Mexican American community that love for the Dodgers because
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: of Fernando, and Fernando pitched forty years ago, over forty
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: years but still and the NFL draft, there are people
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: that look forward whether they like mel Kuiper or bash
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: mel Kuiper in the whole and all that, and in
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: many ways.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: That's him, all right, last thing, quick way.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: So a number of NFL teams are reportedly evaluating prospects.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: By whether they quote love football or not.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Heading into tonight's draft, our homeboy Jay Glazer, who will
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: be on Fox Sports Radio tonight with the draft coverage,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: tells us that most teams that he's talked to have
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: already taken some suspects slash prospects off their board because
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: they don't love the game. For the love of the game,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: the claim is that the name, image, likeness money, the
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: nil money that guys have already been paid.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: They've gotten the bag. And when you get the bag,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: when you're.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: A trust fund baby, you don't necessarily want to get
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: that extra rep in in the gym.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: You don't want to run a little more because you
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: got the bag.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: So thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs up, thumbs down on
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: NFL teams downgrading players who don't love football. So I'm
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: going two thumbs up on this. To me, this is
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: a trip to the farmer's market, and you gotta find
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the passion fruit at the farmers' market.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: And this is not exactly new.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: The nil stuff is new, but even in previous generations.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: This is another one of those Bill Parcell's lines. He
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: wanted guys that would live, eat, breathe and sleep football,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: And I used to I think he used the line
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I want beavers because all they do is eat wood.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: That's all I want.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: But you do need enthusiasts, And I would argue in
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: any job, in any job, you want people that actually
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: want to do the job, that are into the job,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: because if you get people that do not want to do,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: not enjoy it, it just makes it that much hard.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Doesn't mean you can't do the job, but you're not
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: long for the job. And it's not a great it's
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: not a great situation. It is the ben Map Show,

  Speaker 2: That is the thirty first, thirty first of May of May, Okay,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: May thirty first, so we'll be there on that side.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: So there's two opportunities.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: So if you can't make it for the Thursday thing,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: you can see us on set. And I'm a virgin.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: My first professional soccer game I've never been to one,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: been doing that. And they're called the white Caps, right,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: that's the name of the team, the white gam Yeah,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: that's correct. All right, I'll go to my first white
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Caps game.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I'll be there. Now.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: We have NBA Playoff action tonight. You got the Thunder
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: and the.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Grizzlies and.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma City a nine point favorite on the road in
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: that game. Most of the sharp money in the public,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: as you might imagine, betting on the Thunder. You got
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: the Knickerbockers and the Pistons. Some of my friends in
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: New York are upset. That's going to go against the
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: NFL Draft. A lot of that Nix and Pistons. That'll
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: be New York favored by one. Money's more even on that.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Money's more even on that. And the Nuggets and the
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Clippers and the Clips a five and a half point
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: favorite in that game. And if you believe the gambling
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: market favors one way or the other, that's not good
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: news for the Clips because the guys are on the
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Denver side. It's not lopsided. The public is betting heavily
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: on the Nuggets plus the five and a half in
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: that game. And I was also I was saying about
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: that matchup tonight and with you know, they got this
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: thing over at DraftKings. They got that tick six thing.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you've messed around with that at all,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: but they have the pick six, which is where you
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: just go like more or less, and I like the
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: futs around with that and see see how I do.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: And so I looked at the numbers, and for example,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard twenty five and a half more or less
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: points twenty five and a half. I will go more
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: on Kawhi Leonard. Of course you will, because he's playing
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: better than anyone.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: He's the MVP of the playoffs right now. Everyone knows that.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: So Kawhi Leonard over twenty five and a half. I
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: will also go Nikolea Jokic rebounds on DraftKings. They have
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: it at twelve and a half on the pick six.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go over because.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: The Clippers are not a great rebounding team and Yo
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: gets just like a vacuum. He sucks up every rebound,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: so he'll get around fifteen rebounds or so.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: So I think that's a big number, twelve and a half.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: But I'll take the over.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: And then Russell Westbrook eleven and a half points more
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: or less. They have that on DraftKings right now, and
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go less on that one.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: So that's, you know, whatever, you know, we take that
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: for what it's worth.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: But if I were playing on DraftKings pick six thore,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: those are the.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Ways I would go. Let's get back to the call.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: So that's the who do we have here? Eeny meenie,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: miney moe.
• 24:34

  Speaker 2: what is what is going on with you?
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Mark? What are you up to?
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: I do have a selfish comment comment, But first I
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: would love to become a full fledged member of the
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: mal of militia today.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: You want to take the oath? You want to take

  Speaker 3: Will?
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Anyone was selling for Zingis' blood on the internet?
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: You read in my mind after last night, Ben, I
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: think christats Forzingis is now definitely cemented as the fan
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: favorite in the the Boss himself.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: The odd The odd thing, though, Mark is he is
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: not a tough guy like that was a tough guy move.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Yes it was, but he's tough. He's not known as
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: the tough. He misses a lot of games. He's always hurt,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: so it makes you odd.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: He splits his head open, he goes to the locker room,
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: throws a bandage on it, comes out, throws it get
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: you know, makes one or two free throws, then goes
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: back and against five stitches and then comes back out
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: and plays again. That's a beautiful thing.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: No, it was cool. I'm not going to disagree. It
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: was cool.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't a ketchup pack like Chilling. Remember Chilling
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: put a ketchup pack in his sock to enhance the
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: blood pack.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Of the that was. There's there's no fake in that.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Like Porzingis didn't put like a little blood packet on
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: his forehead.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: That was legit. That was real blood.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: Being a Yankees fan, I agree with you.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: The other The other thing, Mark, though, is you don't
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: want Porzingis in a fight if.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: He's on your team, because he's he's a bleeder, you.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: Know, yeah, the Christmas story. He is fragile.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, he's very fragile for sure. All Right, you ready
