1:52
Speaker 2: appropriately on four to twenty. How it's supposed to be
1:56
Speaker 2: in April twentieth. What happened to April? Oh yeah, we
1:58
Speaker 2: were hunkered down in the basement for most of it
1:59
Speaker 2: watching the floodwaters.
2:01
Speaker 3: And that was the April Sirens. That's what those now
2:04
Speaker 3: are gonna be referred to for quite some time. It's
2:06
Speaker 3: Draft week. Playoffs are underway. Brewers are in action.
2:10
Speaker 2: Well not today, but they're playing and they're headed to
2:12
Speaker 2: Detroit and they've won two series in a row, and
2:14
Speaker 2: their bullpen maybe getting sorted out with McGill, Yeah, maybe
2:18
Speaker 2: maybe solved a little bit.
2:20
Speaker 3: You want to talk about some gritty wins man being
2:22
Speaker 3: able to come back those two one two ones and
2:24
Speaker 3: then go down to Miami, which just feels like a
2:27
Speaker 3: pesky squad. It's a it's a good improving team and
2:32
Speaker 3: those have been some fun games over the last couple
2:34
Speaker 3: of years.
2:34
Speaker 4: They'll come at you, but I agree with you, Billy,
2:36
Speaker 4: they were I mean, you know, albeit the Brewers, they'd
2:39
Speaker 4: lose yesterday and get their winning streak snapped.
2:41
Speaker 1: You talk about all the negativity that was kind of.
2:43
Speaker 4: Swirling around this team after that first loss to Toronto,
2:45
Speaker 4: Right you had the game one loss, You had a
2:47
Speaker 4: losing streak.
2:48
Speaker 1: What's McGill gonna do.
2:49
Speaker 4: They're down one nothing, get to grind your way back
2:51
Speaker 4: to get those two wins against Toronto.
2:53
Speaker 1: Obviously a really good team.
2:55
Speaker 4: Buzz Williams used to have, and you know, when he
2:57
Speaker 4: was coaching Marquette, he had this old speech that that
3:00
Speaker 4: they put on the internet and it was the whole
3:02
Speaker 4: character revealed speech that whatever you put in your bottle.
3:05
Speaker 4: When your bottle's tipped over, when you face at Verse City,
3:08
Speaker 4: whatever you've been putting in is gonna come out, whether
3:10
Speaker 4: it's pods ever negative.
3:11
Speaker 1: And I thought the Brewers bottle was tipped over, losing streak.
3:14
Speaker 4: It was tipped over, and what came in, what came
3:17
Speaker 4: out was grittiness, character, grinding, team work.
3:20
Speaker 1: I love that, and I thought they showed that over
3:22
Speaker 1: the weeks.
3:23
Speaker 5: I was.
3:23
Speaker 4: I was pretty impressive with the Brewers putting circling the wagons,
3:26
Speaker 4: getting that wind streak back together.
3:28
Speaker 1: So that was goodness. See.
3:29
Speaker 2: So let's fire up some game balls, shall we, because
3:32
Speaker 2: it's Monday in the huddle, and that's what we do.
3:35
Speaker 2: We award game balls for a job well done. If anything,
3:38
Speaker 2: anybody or anything deserves a kudo and at a boy,
3:41
Speaker 2: a little uh, you know something out of the petty
3:44
Speaker 2: little petty cash straw. We'll put take the petty cash
3:46
Speaker 2: or here to get yourself a go, get yourself a
3:49
Speaker 2: delicious lunch, will you today? Yeah, this bubble waffle, this
3:55
Speaker 2: is a game ball today on the huddle. Price is nice,
3:59
Speaker 2: bright is nice. BA TV could have BA back all right?
4:04
Speaker 2: So conversely, if you want to give out a kick
4:06
Speaker 2: to the balls. This would be a performance improvement plan.
4:09
Speaker 2: To use the corporate vernacular that's popular today. This is
4:12
Speaker 2: a kick to the balls. Why God, Why Frank the Tank?
4:19
Speaker 2: Number one Mets fan? I had so much to pick
4:21
Speaker 2: from the middle of an eleven game losing streak.
4:23
Speaker 1: Admittedly I ruminated.
4:25
Speaker 4: I mean I had so much, so much Frank the
4:28
Speaker 4: Tank to pick from at least four or five, six,
4:30
Speaker 4: seven drops I could have picked.
4:33
Speaker 1: We're going with the why God, why justice to.
4:35
Speaker 3: Sound on that because it's a little bit Those videos
4:39
Speaker 3: are unbelievable. God, why they they had the part of
4:43
Speaker 3: my take. Guys had Francisco Lindor on their show, and
4:46
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was an old one. I
4:48
Speaker 3: don't know if it was resurfaced. I don't know if
4:49
Speaker 3: it's brand new, but commenting on Frank the Tank, and
4:52
Speaker 3: he's like, hey, man, just hang with us.
4:54
Speaker 1: It's gonna be okay.
4:55
Speaker 3: Don't show that to Frank, all right, don't show that
4:58
Speaker 3: to Frank because he is going to blow an absolute gasket.
5:01
Speaker 2: He might blow his right chest right.
5:02
Speaker 3: Like you might blow an actual hole right out.
5:05
Speaker 2: Of his right pack.
5:06
Speaker 3: With how he's gonna scream there. You gotta take care
5:08
Speaker 3: of that young lad. All right, I'm going to open
5:10
Speaker 3: the bidding. Today started off because why not.
5:12
Speaker 2: I have the first game ball, the ceremonial first game
5:15
Speaker 2: ball on this Monday in the huddle, and my first
5:18
Speaker 2: game ball goes to Coleman Crow.
5:22
Speaker 1: Nice is nice?
5:23
Speaker 2: Well done, Coleman Crow done good? Tell me that, Arman.
5:27
Speaker 2: When you watch that, you didn't flash back to Chris Signs.
5:29
Speaker 1: Chris Signs, that's a great memory. Drew never made it
5:33
Speaker 1: back to the bigs, but Chris Signs.
5:35
Speaker 2: Had glorious shining moment in a day game against the Cardinals.
5:39
Speaker 1: He did.
5:40
Speaker 4: I was working at the upstairs fans One they called
5:44
Speaker 4: the Kid Zone back then now a team store on
5:46
Speaker 4: Terror's level during that day, and I remember that he
5:49
Speaker 4: shut down the Cardinals lineup. After the game, Pool said,
5:52
Speaker 4: I guess the kid got kind of lucky, let's be honest,
5:55
Speaker 4: and Jeff Jenkins said, he deserves to stay up here.
5:57
Speaker 4: That was at one chance, one time. That was at
6:00
Speaker 4: As it turns out, we're almost on Chris Sein's day.
6:03
Speaker 4: His major league debut was April twenty fourth, two thousand
6:06
Speaker 4: and four.
6:07
Speaker 1: Best tied for the best record, winning percentage in MLB history.
6:10
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, hard to top, hard to beat
6:12
Speaker 2: that one.
6:13
Speaker 3: You saw the curveball spinning enough to get a super
6:17
Speaker 3: sweet graphic of the Brewers' social media account putting our
6:20
Speaker 3: guy Hunter and Dave Gasper in there talking about the
6:23
Speaker 3: curveball spin rate and the exciting break that it had
6:27
Speaker 3: there for Crew. I also was going to give a
6:30
Speaker 3: give a game ball to call him Cruz. Momby Price
6:34
Speaker 3: is tremendous job on the interview because you could tell
6:38
Speaker 3: that poor lady was going through it. Yeah Friday, she
6:42
Speaker 3: was running the full gambit of emotions. And when she's
6:45
Speaker 3: holding the friend's hand Drew while talking to Sophia Minnert
6:48
Speaker 3: to try to calm herself down, she goes, well, I've
6:51
Speaker 3: been crying in and out of most of the innings.
6:54
Speaker 3: I've been in and out, but I think I finally
6:56
Speaker 3: calmed down, and the youngster calmed down because he was
6:59
Speaker 3: pretty good, really good.
7:01
Speaker 4: No One, no one goes through the gamut of emotions
7:03
Speaker 4: like mom. No one's been there for these guys. Whenever
7:06
Speaker 4: you see Mom and a debut or something like that,
7:08
Speaker 4: you can only imagine the hours and hours and days
7:11
Speaker 4: of dreaming and hoping and work and travel and and
7:14
Speaker 4: and investing in money and time and resources and love
7:18
Speaker 4: and belief that one day you might see this moment
7:21
Speaker 4: and then you're hoping they succeed. I just can't imagine
7:24
Speaker 4: the emotion to see your own child out there and
7:26
Speaker 4: you know, we're interviewing her during the time, and it's tough.
7:29
Speaker 3: But they were doing it right, and Sophia did it correctly.
7:31
Speaker 3: She interviewed missus Crow. Uh while the Brewers were batting. Yeah,
7:36
Speaker 3: that's the right time to do it. Not yeah, right,
7:39
Speaker 3: not while they're on the mound, you know, like, well,
7:41
Speaker 3: Tyler Black is on in the batter's box, maybe that's
7:44
Speaker 3: not when we go on.
7:44
Speaker 1: Sophia's got the right touch for that type of situation.
7:47
Speaker 2: So, by the way, Chris Signs called up from Double
7:49
Speaker 2: A for a spot start. You know why because the
7:52
Speaker 2: current now COO of the Players Association, Chris Capuano, was injured.
7:56
Speaker 1: That's right.
7:57
Speaker 2: That So Chris Sigines comes up from Double A and
8:00
Speaker 2: he has like a JUCO twenty eighth round draft pick.
8:03
Speaker 2: He pitches six scoreless racks against the Mighty Cardinals. He
8:07
Speaker 2: had seven strikeouts and three walks, gave up two hits,
8:11
Speaker 2: shut them down. Brewers won that game. He goes want
8:14
Speaker 2: to know with a zero point zero zero era and
8:17
Speaker 2: never touched a big league mound again.
8:19
Speaker 1: Amazing.
8:19
Speaker 4: He kind of had that Moonlight Graham type moment. But
8:22
Speaker 4: you know what, if you're gonna get one shot at
8:25
Speaker 4: it is the memory for a lifetime.
8:26
Speaker 2: He beat a team that would win one hundred and
8:29
Speaker 2: five games that year. Oh say, oh four Cardinals, no joke.
8:32
Speaker 2: He gave a pitch to Pooholz and Ray Langford, but
8:35
Speaker 2: that was it struck out Scott Rowland and Mike Matheeny,
8:38
Speaker 2: So he was Chris Sines was absolutely shoving that day,
8:42
Speaker 2: which was a little bit like Coleman Crow just pitched
8:46
Speaker 2: great and just fantastic.
8:48
Speaker 4: I'm sure right his parents had to get some crazy
8:50
Speaker 4: flights to get there, but they were there in the stands.
8:52
Speaker 1: So sorry, Billy jumped on here.
8:53
Speaker 3: No, to make sure that you're able to be there.
8:56
Speaker 3: I think my parents would be moving just about having
8:59
Speaker 3: an earth. But I all like the the backing of
9:01
Speaker 3: and clearly that was the same thing that Chris sins
9:04
Speaker 3: had of all the other guys in the in the
9:05
Speaker 3: dugout and in the clubhouse.
9:06
Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, I mean you watch that stuff. That's that
9:09
Speaker 2: was working.
9:10
Speaker 3: That stuff is going to play if he can play
9:12
Speaker 3: and pitch like that, and you wonder if he's gonna
9:15
Speaker 3: get more opportunities. It's it's total Brewers Baseball, of the
9:18
Speaker 3: young players that they've continued to develop in the in
9:21
Speaker 3: the minor leagues and get the most out of. Crow
9:24
Speaker 3: came over in the Adrian Houser Tyrone Taylor deal with
9:28
Speaker 3: the Mets, so it wasn't like they just stumbled upon
9:31
Speaker 3: him and a Rule five guy clearly identified and and
9:35
Speaker 3: worked with so good be able to see him pay
9:38
Speaker 3: some of that off and also good and most importantly
9:42
Speaker 3: be that team now drew that other teams are going
9:45
Speaker 3: to see on the dock. Ats say, Brewers have some
9:48
Speaker 3: guy making his major league debut fn of them. Yeah,
9:51
Speaker 3: come on now, he's gonna go five and a third
9:53
Speaker 3: of one run ball. I like that the Brewers are
9:56
Speaker 3: becoming the hated Cardinals because they've always felt like the
10:00
Speaker 3: Cardinals would throw some guy straight out of the minor league.
10:02
Speaker 1: We'll be coming that yet.
10:03
Speaker 3: And he just dominates for an entire night, and you
10:06
Speaker 3: just cannot fathom while you're screaming at.
10:08
Speaker 1: The TV, and every time we do. You're noticing that, now, Billy.
10:11
Speaker 4: Then every time there's a fairly unknown guy, and I mean,
10:14
Speaker 4: we're aware of our.
10:16
Speaker 1: Guys in the organization.
10:17
Speaker 4: Not it's quite a day of gasper levels, but we're
10:19
Speaker 4: sort of aware of our guys. But anytime somebody outside
10:22
Speaker 4: the Brewers sphere and world that sees somebody go out
10:25
Speaker 4: and have a good performance, they say.
10:27
Speaker 1: Here, go to Brewers again.
10:28
Speaker 4: Let some straight up voodoo magic against the Cubs accounts.
10:31
Speaker 4: It's always those type of you know, Cardinals accounts that
10:34
Speaker 4: are always frustrated.
10:35
Speaker 1: The Brewers find a way.
10:36
Speaker 4: But look the pitching lab, all these guys, they know
10:38
Speaker 4: how to identify certain guys. You see the movement on
10:41
Speaker 4: Coleman Crow's stuff, you know, you gotta figure that's what
10:44
Speaker 4: they figure. Hey, we're gonna work with this guy's movement,
10:46
Speaker 4: his stuff, his action. So that's it right there.
10:49
Speaker 2: How about another game ball to Jose Feliciano and his
10:53
Speaker 2: wife Kwanza Jones.
10:54
Speaker 4: Nice.
10:55
Speaker 1: Nice, Yeah.
10:57
Speaker 2: Venture capitalists from southern California bought the pot point nine
11:02
Speaker 2: billion dollars. Wow wow, wow, wow, wow wow. That's a
11:05
Speaker 2: heck of evaluation. Three point nine billion dollars for the Padres,
11:10
Speaker 2: who last I checked, are not La or New York
11:13
Speaker 2: or Chicago. The Padres like the Mets. When Steve Comin
11:18
Speaker 2: bought the Mets, it was two point four billion. That
11:20
Speaker 2: was five years ago, six years ago.
11:23
Speaker 3: And I wonder if there's there's gotta be something with
11:27
Speaker 3: the the amount of Padres television, right, Well, I thought
11:31
Speaker 3: that it would have had something to do.
11:32
Speaker 2: They were like the first team Padres television. I like
11:35
Speaker 2: the Brewers. They were the first team to go with
11:36
Speaker 2: to MLB as Award in the state. Yes, the Dodgers
11:39
Speaker 2: up up the up the road. The Dodgers get three
11:42
Speaker 2: hundred million for their TV rights, the Padres five, but
11:46
Speaker 2: the Brewers produced by the league. And I'm here this
11:49
Speaker 2: does not make a ton of sense at the moment.
11:51
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, Forbes thought they were worth one
11:53
Speaker 2: point nine billion last year.
11:56
Speaker 4: And so why do I hear that they that their
11:58
Speaker 4: market is better than people because they have a decent
12:01
Speaker 4: amount of fan base into Mexico, Mexico, but there's you know,
12:05
Speaker 4: they're bordered by an ocean.
12:06
Speaker 2: This is it's the thirtieth market. Yeah, the Major League.
12:09
Speaker 3: The only thing that I could think of them like
12:11
Speaker 3: the only thing that would give me a little bit
12:13
Speaker 3: of understanding is they're the only game in town, right, Like,
12:17
Speaker 3: so they're the only one. They're the only pro sports
12:19
Speaker 3: team there, and one of my good friends lives out there.
12:22
Speaker 3: That place is always packed, Like the in stadium attendance
12:25
Speaker 3: is always good. Their team is really good. But uh yeah,
12:29
Speaker 3: I don't see three point nine billion good on the
12:31
Speaker 3: Valuay three hundred million lesson TV revenue than the Dodgers.
12:34
Speaker 3: They're you know, they got the desert to the east,
12:36
Speaker 3: Mexico to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west.
12:39
Speaker 3: So it's like they're landlocked in a market where I've
12:41
Speaker 3: always thought that they kind of overplayed their status as
12:44
Speaker 3: a small market team.
12:45
Speaker 2: They're that's for sure. They can operate you as a
12:47
Speaker 2: big market, medium to medium big market.
12:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, when we're talking.
12:50
Speaker 4: About those kind of numbers, now, well that just goes
12:52
Speaker 4: to show the capitalism the market of pro sports franchises.
12:55
Speaker 1: Now, OK, I mean that's crazy. What are these numbers?
12:57
Speaker 1: What does that make? I mean, didn't the market os
13:00
Speaker 1: just made two billion dollars then on this sale?
13:01
Speaker 2: Basically yeah, basically, So it was fourteen years ago that
13:05
Speaker 2: the Padres were sold and Peter Sidler and Ron Fowler
13:08
Speaker 2: bought them for eight hundred million dollars. Fourteen years later,
13:12
Speaker 2: they've a three hundred and eighty seven percent return on
13:14
Speaker 2: their investment. So this sent shockwaves through the business community,
13:18
Speaker 2: the sports community, and it makes you think, how can
13:21
Speaker 2: they possibly say that they need a salary cap when
13:24
Speaker 2: the Padres sell for more than the Mets and the
13:27
Speaker 2: players are going to be like, good, Joe, you want
13:30
Speaker 2: to cap. Look at that valuation.
13:32
Speaker 5: Look how everybody just made all this cash and tell
13:34
Speaker 5: us that you're hurting right, you need like that you
13:37
Speaker 5: need to financial relief.
13:39
Speaker 2: And that we have to help you in that regard.
13:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
13:41
Speaker 3: No, I'm glad you saw the same thing, Drew, because
13:43
Speaker 3: I immediately saw people saying like, oh, this is a
13:46
Speaker 3: huge boost for the labor negotiations, Like I think it's
13:50
Speaker 3: only going to further in uh in rageing and probably
13:56
Speaker 3: unite the players, which feels like they're probably more united
13:59
Speaker 3: than they've ever been. In understanding that this was going
14:02
Speaker 3: to be the plan, This was going to be the
14:04
Speaker 3: year that they were probably going to have a work stoppage,
14:06
Speaker 3: and this was the year to get ready for it.
14:08
Speaker 3: You see a lot of guys taking cash up front,
14:10
Speaker 3: and it seems to me like both saw that the
14:13
Speaker 3: player side would be even further into their line of thinking.
14:18
Speaker 3: To use your point, there's no way we're taking any
14:21
Speaker 3: kind of cap. When you're making this kind of cash.
14:23
Speaker 2: You might say that, all right, they overpaid and this
14:26
Speaker 2: is going to be upside down and we won't know
14:27
Speaker 2: that for a couple of years. But on the horizon,
14:30
Speaker 2: the Padres have the second highest attendance behind the Dodgers. Yeah,
14:33
Speaker 2: it's always pulled out seventy two of their eighty one
14:36
Speaker 2: home dates last year, so it's always an event. It's
14:39
Speaker 2: always packed as a place is always pumping. Now, Rob
14:43
Speaker 2: Manford wants to kind of take away the local TV
14:46
Speaker 2: deals and do the NFL thing in national, which would
14:50
Speaker 2: make every team get two hundred and fifty million dollars
14:52
Speaker 2: a year in revenue out of the TV deals. They're
14:55
Speaker 2: looking at Netflix, They're looking at all the options there
14:57
Speaker 2: on that front. They're likely going to ex band in
15:00
Speaker 2: the next like five years, which is going to be
15:03
Speaker 2: even more cash to owners. And then like that would
15:06
Speaker 2: be if expansion fees, you know, if they're charging at
15:10
Speaker 2: that by this rate, if they're charging four billion for expansion. Crazy,
15:13
Speaker 2: let's carve up you know, if we add two teams,
15:15
Speaker 2: let's do eight billion dollars to divvy up among the owners.
15:19
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Yeah, they've dialed in on that
15:24
Speaker 2: this might have killed this might this deal might actually
15:28
Speaker 2: prevent a strike in a nuclear winter. Because how can
15:31
Speaker 2: you put how can you make the case that you
15:33
Speaker 2: need a cap? You do make that the players are
15:36
Speaker 2: just you just handed the players the argument that what
15:38
Speaker 2: are you talking about? You need a cap?
15:40
Speaker 3: Look with this, you know, but at that, But that's
15:42
Speaker 3: the that's the only fear that I'm sitting here with
15:44
Speaker 3: as the the owners are saying, yeah, you're right, and
15:47
Speaker 3: this is now all the cash that we still have
15:48
Speaker 3: to sit here and wait you out longer than you do. Right. Like, So,
15:53
Speaker 3: as long as if the owners are as united on
15:57
Speaker 3: needing a cap as they have vocally said, it feels
16:01
Speaker 3: to me like this only furthers the divide, makes it
16:04
Speaker 3: easier for both sides to stay locked into their positions.
16:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, and to play chicken on who needs the liquid
16:09
Speaker 1: cash first.
16:10
Speaker 2: It's important Usually the player and padres years ago they
16:13
Speaker 2: were borrowing money and stuff, but they knew that the
16:15
Speaker 2: stay the course right, and it's Peter Siler's passing, he
16:17
Speaker 2: wouldn't have sold the team. But he was a guy
16:19
Speaker 2: that was saying, yeah, we're doing fine, and he was
16:22
Speaker 2: saying it years ago, like let's do a ten year
16:24
Speaker 2: labor deal. Why mess around with five years and go
16:26
Speaker 2: through this every five Let's do a ten year deal. Yeah,
16:28
Speaker 2: if he was alive, he'd probably say, let's do a
16:30
Speaker 2: twenty year deal.
16:31
Speaker 1: Overdal.
16:31
Speaker 2: Look at what we got going on. It's insane.
16:34
Speaker 4: And for all the owners that through the sixties and seventies,
16:36
Speaker 4: in the eighties, maybe that wondered what the value their
16:38
Speaker 4: franchises might be when they're paying like fifteen million in
16:41
Speaker 4: the seventies for you know, teams were going for that much.
16:44
Speaker 4: It is just incredible to see what's happened. A lot
16:47
Speaker 4: of it because of the market, obviously, but a lot
16:49
Speaker 4: of it because.
16:49
Speaker 1: Of the interest in pro.
16:50
Speaker 4: Sports and the I think the proliferation last twenty to
16:53
Speaker 4: thirty years of super rich private equity. Billy, you always
16:56
Speaker 4: talk about this that wants a toy to play with
16:59
Speaker 4: and that wants the investment to enjoy. During that time,
17:02
Speaker 4: it used to be pro sports where really rich guys
17:04
Speaker 4: was kind of their toy, but to not make money necessarily,
17:07
Speaker 4: but to play with and to have fun with and
17:09
Speaker 4: to have some sort of you know, prestige that I
17:11
Speaker 4: own a team. But now it's like seemingly the easiest
17:15
Speaker 4: investment in the world. Just own a team, sell it
17:17
Speaker 4: in ten years, and you just tripled your your tape.
17:19
Speaker 4: So if you've got the money, it's wild open.
17:23
Speaker 2: Felicianam becomes the first Puerto Rican owner of a sports franchise,
17:27
Speaker 2: and his wife is African American and they she's got
17:30
Speaker 2: a lot degree. She's a music producer and a singer,
17:33
Speaker 2: and they both went to Princeton and they're like, you know,
17:36
Speaker 2: this is gonna be you know, they're going to.
17:38
Speaker 3: Become kind of a power couple. That's awesome in ownership circles.
17:43
Speaker 3: And so they they've broken some barriers there and this
17:47
Speaker 3: it was just it was stunning. It Like they sold
17:49
Speaker 3: for what the padres three point nine billion dollars dollars. Now,
17:54
Speaker 3: we always say that these teams are like yachts, and
17:56
Speaker 3: like the rich people. I got a yacht and I'm
17:58
Speaker 3: gonna you know, flex is it's getting to a different
18:03
Speaker 3: class of rich guy. It's a flex but again, they're
18:06
Speaker 3: not losing money. The owners never lose money. So what
18:09
Speaker 3: if you're looking at players and why do they need
18:11
Speaker 3: a cap? What for what?
18:13
Speaker 2: Because they want one to save you from yourselves? Or
18:15
Speaker 2: and that's what I'm saying. They want more money, they
18:18
Speaker 2: want to make more of it. But that's when the
18:21
Speaker 2: players are like, all right, well then we're gonna need
18:23
Speaker 2: to share in that, and you can you know, they
18:26
Speaker 2: don't want to cap and have a floor. Maybe, so
18:29
Speaker 2: it's going to be interesting, but it does torpedo the
18:32
Speaker 2: negotiations that the owners are going broken because paying salaries.
18:35
Speaker 2: Oh for sure.
18:36
Speaker 3: But again I just like I'm you're more you're more
18:40
Speaker 3: positive on the standpoint of like this makes it all right,
18:43
Speaker 3: there's no chance that there could be a labor strike.
18:45
Speaker 3: I see it in here, Well there'd be a lockout,
18:47
Speaker 3: but or a lockout pardon me, yeah, But the the
18:50
Speaker 3: time off because they can't get into a negotiation, they
18:54
Speaker 3: can't get to a deal, a work stoppage, and to me,
18:57
Speaker 3: it feels like one side's gonna feel eave and more
19:00
Speaker 3: hell bent on the fact that they got more cash.
19:02
Speaker 3: If there's one thing that I could deliver a kick
19:04
Speaker 3: to the balls to and one piece of advice that
19:06
Speaker 3: I would give Major League Baseball in those streaming negotiations,
19:10
Speaker 3: don't freaking go to ESPN unlimited.
19:15
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
19:17
Speaker 3: So for two nights US Wrestling Marks were enjoying the
19:21
Speaker 3: Mark WrestleMania promotion and production.
19:25
Speaker 2: It was It was okay, it was good. It was fun.
19:28
Speaker 3: You know what's not fun watching nearly an hour's worth
19:32
Speaker 3: of advertisements for an event that used to be a
19:37
Speaker 3: pay per view, used to be a three to four
19:41
Speaker 3: to five at sometimes seven hour block of content on Friday.
19:46
Speaker 3: On Saturday Night, there was legitimately added up to sixty
19:51
Speaker 3: minutes of commercial breaks.
19:54
Speaker 2: Added into a nearly forty dollars package.
19:58
Speaker 3: To be able to get this deal, they had at
20:00
Speaker 3: one point in an hour, more and longer versions of
20:04
Speaker 3: commercial breaks than one of the matches was on Saturday Night,
20:10
Speaker 3: Blood Sucking it Up and the return from the first
20:12
Speaker 3: commercial break you want to talk about. People were mad
20:14
Speaker 3: at Pat McAfee for the disneyification of WWE. Who was
20:18
Speaker 3: the first celebrity that they showed on Saturday Night After
20:22
Speaker 3: George Kittle, Jamier Gibbs and Tyrese Halliburton, Stephen A.
20:27
Speaker 2: Smith. Oh boy, well, I mean it is his entertainment, right, Billy.
20:33
Speaker 3: Maybe the biggest pop of the night was the boo
20:36
Speaker 3: that stephen A got as they returned, and thought that
20:39
Speaker 3: was going to fire up the fifty thousand. But dude,
20:42
Speaker 3: between the buffering issues that ESPN's had the entire weekends,
20:48
Speaker 3: it doesn't work to the insane infusion of advertisements into
20:51
Speaker 3: a product that you actually pay for it to watch throughout.
20:54
Speaker 3: It was a wild start run of saying that pure
21:00
Speaker 3: water from the WWE stream that you've been drinking from
21:03
Speaker 3: for all these years was polluted by an entity that
21:06
Speaker 3: I referred to recently as the human centipede of self promotion.
21:09
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Oh they're eating it allid yep. So yeah,
21:15
Speaker 3: I mean I can't see him punk catch a break?
21:17
Speaker 3: Come on, just saying yeah, yeah, he died out last night.
21:21
Speaker 3: Couldn't get it, couldn't.
21:22
Speaker 2: Get the help he needed. It's a break, all right.
21:25
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven seven you heard from us game balls
21:29
Speaker 2: and kicks to the Balls. It's the Monday edition of

22:14
Speaker 1: This is rage bait.
22:16
Speaker 3: No one's pick quality, known for customer customization and often
22:22
Speaker 3: cited as the most expensive, So if incited for most expensive,
22:26
Speaker 3: why would it be.
22:26
Speaker 1: The number one? That's my got tricked? Someone got tricked?
22:30
Speaker 1: Fake rage bait Internet.
22:32
Speaker 2: All right, all right, let's dial it back and welcome.
22:36
Speaker 2: This is what we live here. The debates during the
22:39
Speaker 2: breaks are as intense as the ones on air, if
22:41
Speaker 2: not more so.
22:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm intrigued by this, Paul, though. I mean, I've
22:44
Speaker 5: only eaten five Guys a couple of times.
22:46
Speaker 1: Exactly because you don't ford to Yeah, well.
22:49
Speaker 2: You're gonna get a month's worth of fries. That's true.
22:51
Speaker 2: That's that's true.
22:53
Speaker 3: Hook, Or don't don't order the large fridad You'll be fine.
22:57
Speaker 3: They have the peanuts too, right in store.
23:00
Speaker 4: Yeah.
23:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, I dump a bunch of peanuts into my bag.
23:02
Speaker 2: See again, this is just a throwback. I'm on Aol
23:05
Speaker 2: dot com. I didn't even know that that still existed.
23:07
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is beautiful. You've got me. I've
23:10
Speaker 2: arrives in our studio today, splendent in his quartership with
23:14
Speaker 2: the Iowahawkeye logo, and h you spent the weekend in
23:17
Speaker 2: Iowa and now you've been deputized as our storm chaser.
23:20
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yeah. It was through the storms we
23:22
Speaker 2: wondered if you were actually gonna you're like, I don't know,
23:24
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go or not.
23:25
Speaker 4: Yeah.
23:25
Speaker 5: And then I looked at the radar and early afternoon
23:28
Speaker 5: and there was little pop up popcorn storms and I thought,
23:31
Speaker 5: doesn't look like it's going to be much while I
23:32
Speaker 5: was incredibly wrong.
23:34
Speaker 3: Uh.
23:34
Speaker 5: And the way this thing formed is your weather just
23:37
Speaker 5: freaks me out sometimes. But I got three tornado warnings
23:39
Speaker 5: in southwestern Wisconsin between Madison and like Platteville. But the
23:43
Speaker 5: problem when you get those on your phone, it doesn't
23:45
Speaker 5: say exactly where it is. It says tornado warning in
23:47
Speaker 5: your area. Take cover immediately. Well, I'm taking covering my
23:50
Speaker 5: jeep with the ragtop.
23:51
Speaker 4: Right.
23:51
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, you're like looking at the skies
23:54
Speaker 5: and saying, well where is it? Yeah, And I could
23:56
Speaker 5: have taken my pick. It was dark as midnight off
23:59
Speaker 5: to my right, and it was they had thunderclouds fifty
24:02
Speaker 5: thousand feet in the air off to the left.
24:03
Speaker 2: I thought, I'm just gonna go straight like arm and
24:05
Speaker 2: said keep driving west. That's what I did. I went right.
24:08
Speaker 5: You know, the offensive line made a nice hole for
24:10
Speaker 5: me in the middle. It's the old NASCAR thing. Drive
24:12
Speaker 5: through the smoke, Yeah, don't try to drive through it.
24:14
Speaker 5: Around it and like just to drive through the smoke.
24:16
Speaker 2: Or if there's a deer in your path, head straight
24:18
Speaker 2: for it, hoping that it'll move, because if you swerve
24:20
Speaker 2: and it runs, you're gonna hit it.
24:22
Speaker 5: You're gonna collide the same way with a squirrel. I
24:24
Speaker 5: always have trouble with squirrels too. Do you hit it
24:27
Speaker 5: or do you swerve? Because you are asking for it,
24:30
Speaker 5: You're gonna play games. Yeah, they're asking, can't you glad
24:34
Speaker 5: you made it?
24:34
Speaker 2: But it's harrowing, and Billy and I would keep flashing
24:37
Speaker 2: back to our drive home from Lambeau, Our our cheek
24:40
Speaker 2: clenching drive home from lamba in the flood after that
24:43
Speaker 2: exhibition game, and I was like, oh, man, when we
24:46
Speaker 2: almost if we hadn't had the company's f one fifty,
24:50
Speaker 2: we'd still be in the river.
24:51
Speaker 5: Off outside of that was the night we had the flooding.
24:55
Speaker 5: Everybody's basement flooded, right.
24:57
Speaker 1: The first Packers preseason game.
24:58
Speaker 5: That was my wife and I went earth, wind and
25:00
Speaker 5: fire that night downtown and we thought, Okay, it's raining,
25:03
Speaker 5: but it's not terrible. Same thing kind of like with
25:05
Speaker 5: the storms on Friday. It turned terrible. Oh it was horrible, horrible.
25:09
Speaker 1: Yeah.
25:10
Speaker 2: Yeah. So Draft week is upon us, Dolf, and uh,
25:13
Speaker 2: you're watching it from the Bear's perspective and we're watching
25:15
Speaker 2: it from the Packers perspective. And our thing is that
25:19
Speaker 2: we have FOMO on two fronts because it's not in
25:21
Speaker 2: Green Bay, it's in Pittsburgh, and the Packers don't have
25:23
Speaker 2: a first round pick. Yeah, but you have Micah Parsons. Yeah,
25:25
Speaker 2: that's true. That's that's that's the ultimate consolation. Yeah, but
25:30
Speaker 2: what do we do until fifty two? By the way,
25:31
Speaker 2: the last time the most notable player of the Packers,
25:34
Speaker 2: I think might have been the only time they picked
25:36
Speaker 2: at fifty two was Greg Jennings. Ooh, look at that.
25:39
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about.
25:40
Speaker 3: It.
25:41
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. This is the latest that the fifty
25:43
Speaker 2: two is the latest they've ever had their first pick
25:45
Speaker 2: of the draft. Yeah, they've been pretty traditional over the years.
25:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, first time since eighty six that they haven't had
25:51
Speaker 3: their first round pick going into the off season. Now
25:53
Speaker 3: they've moved back a couple of times. George that year, right,
25:57
Speaker 3: it would be another what happened in eighty six. But
26:00
Speaker 3: remember just curious John Hadel trade. Oh my god, the
26:04
Speaker 3: Lawrence Welk trade.
26:05
Speaker 2: That's one two three.
26:08
Speaker 1: But I feel like John Hadel was earlier. No, sorry,
26:11
Speaker 1: I thought, I mean I thought.
26:11
Speaker 3: It was too Yeah, yeah, I think it might have been.
26:13
Speaker 3: Haita was like seventy eight. I think that was that
26:16
Speaker 3: was the package, I believe, But.
26:18
Speaker 1: Maybe that was part of it because the Hadel the
26:20
Speaker 1: remnants of the Hadel trade win forever. So maybe it
26:23
Speaker 1: was that even though it was years before.
26:24
Speaker 2: I could be wrong with I think you're wrong. I
26:26
Speaker 2: think you are wrong, But I'm just saying I hate
26:28
Speaker 2: to be that guy. Of course, on Johnny, it's fine.
26:30
Speaker 3: I think about the information. Oh, Mossy cad, there we go.
26:34
Speaker 3: So it was even worse, it was much worse.
26:37
Speaker 1: He got in trouble.
26:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.
26:38
Speaker 1: Now I also think about when the next time we'll have.
26:40
Speaker 4: A quarterback wearing twenty one in the NFL again, or
26:43
Speaker 4: in the twenties, because that's John hadel Ward twenty one,
26:45
Speaker 4: that's true.
26:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I think you'll see it.
26:47
Speaker 5: I mean, everybody can wear just about any number now
26:49
Speaker 5: right pretty much?
26:50
Speaker 4: Ill you knows my number? Take take on numbers? What
26:53
Speaker 4: is that put these guys back in position numbers? I
26:55
Speaker 4: want to know who's playing what. I don't want to see,
26:58
Speaker 4: you know.
26:58
Speaker 5: Like college, Yeah, you don't want to see number zero
27:01
Speaker 5: playing linebacker edge rusher at number seven. I think it's
27:04
Speaker 5: kick ass's cool high too. But quarterbacks they still wear
27:08
Speaker 5: traditional numbers, don't they. They don't wear anything above. They
27:11
Speaker 5: don't have the old Doug Flutie numbers.
27:13
Speaker 4: Well, because quarterbacks had the numbers something If I'm wrong,
27:15
Speaker 4: but everybody wanted with the single numbers.
27:17
Speaker 1: Everybody thought those.
27:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, generally, I think quarterbacks up to nineteen you're allowed
27:21
Speaker 2: to roll to. I still think that.
27:22
Speaker 4: One is positioned specific right, Well, we might run out
27:26
Speaker 4: of numbers at some point.
27:27
Speaker 2: How many Hawkeys will be drafted in the first two
27:30
Speaker 2: days of this the first.
27:31
Speaker 5: Two days you might see what Logan Jones, the first
27:35
Speaker 5: team All American center.
27:36
Speaker 2: I was stunning back to day three. Move him back
27:39
Speaker 2: to four. Fe the Packers. Yeah you want Jennings Dunker though,
27:43
Speaker 2: don't you.
27:43
Speaker 1: I prefer not.
27:44
Speaker 3: I'd prefer I prefer Jones than Dunker. Yeah, I think
27:46
Speaker 3: Dunker is a good caid. I think you're a good
27:48
Speaker 3: football player, But I like Jones. Logan Jones was really good.
27:51
Speaker 3: I didn't until I read over the weekend on mock drafts.
27:54
Speaker 3: I always had fourteen straight years with a first team
27:57
Speaker 3: All American.
27:58
Speaker 2: That even stunned me. I thought I followed stuff pretty cool,
28:00
Speaker 2: But he is he was one this year.
28:02
Speaker 1: It was a d line Max Llewellyn, right or something
28:05
Speaker 1: like that.
28:05
Speaker 2: Yeah he's good. Yeah, yeah, you could get him later.
28:08
Speaker 2: I don't know.
28:09
Speaker 5: I think second round, late second round, early third is
28:11
Speaker 5: probably gonna be the think Billy, you might be right.
28:13
Speaker 2: It might pa Early Day three pickers do have a
28:15
Speaker 2: pipeline to Iowa City. They've had some success getting guys
28:18
Speaker 2: from Iowa.
28:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean they're potentially just gonna have to
28:21
Speaker 3: race the Ravens to the to the podium to draft
28:24
Speaker 3: Logan Jones because they're like, sweet, all right, we just
28:26
Speaker 3: lost Iowa Center. Yeah, let's grab the other Iowa Center.
28:29
Speaker 3: The interesting thing is he started for like a ton
28:32
Speaker 3: of years at Iowa. And that's kind of Kirk Farrens's thing.
28:35
Speaker 3: We don't start underclassmen here at Iowa. You burn your
28:39
Speaker 3: take here at Iowa. That's why Lucas van Ness not,
28:41
Speaker 3: you know, talent and limitations in college, that's why he
28:45
Speaker 3: didn't start.
28:45
Speaker 5: Never never started at Iowa. Obviously you could see the
28:48
Speaker 5: skills with Lucas van Ness. Logan Jones was a defensive
28:51
Speaker 5: lineman when he got there, and often times with Kirk Farns,
28:55
Speaker 5: they'll say, nah, you're not a defensive lineman, you're gonna
28:57
Speaker 5: go over here. They mean they did with Dallas Clark
28:59
Speaker 5: was a linebacker when he out there, and they moved
29:00
Speaker 5: him to tight end.
29:01
Speaker 2: They do that all the time.
29:02
Speaker 3: Went from d line to center in the spring and
29:04
Speaker 3: started in the fall. That's a hell of a transition.
29:07
Speaker 3: It's like the JJ Watt transition from a tight end.
29:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Jenny.
29:12
Speaker 4: The thing about Jennings Dunker, though, is I think he'd
29:14
Speaker 4: be great in Green and Baby because you'd had the
29:17
Speaker 4: you had the perfect fit with quick trip, with the sponsorship.
29:20
Speaker 2: You know, get your Jennings Dunkers. You know, yeah, he's
29:23
Speaker 2: he's a Calvers guy.
29:24
Speaker 1: Now, oh is he?
29:25
Speaker 3: I didn't realize there's already big Well, there's a big
29:27
Speaker 3: profile story of Jennings Dunker with Calvers and they working
29:31
Speaker 3: in a little door. They're not competitors though, right, I mean,
29:34
Speaker 3: I mean if we're calling five guys fast food, thank you.
29:37
Speaker 4: True, we don't know whatever anybody is going to be
29:40
Speaker 4: in any cat You have to pick up a free agent,
29:42
Speaker 4: undrafted called Glazer.
29:43
Speaker 2: You know, you have to got to uh Billy for
29:46
Speaker 2: your edification and for your files. Here at the fifty
29:49
Speaker 2: two pick number fifty two, Greg Jennings is the best
29:51
Speaker 2: packer chosen at fifty two. But recently of recent vintage,
29:55
Speaker 2: you had cam Akers, George Pickens, Zach Sharbone and going
29:59
Speaker 2: all the way back thirty years Ray Lewis. Wow, holy cow.
30:03
Speaker 3: That's okay. So that works out for number fifty two.
30:05
Speaker 3: You can grab a good football player right there. Oh wait,
30:08
Speaker 3: it wasn't a first rounder. Ray was a first round
30:10
Speaker 3: pick number fifty two.
30:12
Speaker 1: Oh no, my bad.
30:15
Speaker 5: So you feel better now, but your about your second
30:17
Speaker 5: round pickall I.
30:20
Speaker 2: Feel really good about it.
30:21
Speaker 3: I feel really good about fifty two, and I feel
30:23
Speaker 3: even better the fact that they have a number of
30:26
Speaker 3: different assets for next year's draft that they can also
30:28
Speaker 3: trade around.
30:28
Speaker 5: Of course, Goody said way back at the combine, there's
30:31
Speaker 5: always a chance we could trade up into one.
30:32
Speaker 2: There's there's a chance. What would have to be there
30:35
Speaker 2: for him to jump all the way up into the
30:36
Speaker 2: top th.
30:38
Speaker 3: That's the tough part about it is I don't necessarily
30:41
Speaker 3: know what position they would be going up for.
30:43
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are going up for tackles.
30:44
Speaker 3: There's going to be seven to eight offensive hopefully eight
30:47
Speaker 3: offensive linemen taken on Thursday night. All in Round one,
30:51
Speaker 3: only one guard, the kid from Penn State, and everybody
30:54
Speaker 3: else is going to be a tackle. Proctor, the former Iowa.
30:56
Speaker 2: Kid that came out to Alabama.
30:58
Speaker 3: Alabama is seemingly rising up because he was three hundred
31:03
Speaker 3: and ninety pounds and then went down to three sixty,
31:06
Speaker 3: and people are like, that is a multiple piece of
31:08
Speaker 3: clay that we're gonna put together.
31:09
Speaker 2: But he's a man. A lot of people are gonna
31:11
Speaker 2: go for tackles, and that's gonna be about it.
31:15
Speaker 3: I the Packers need a tackle right obviously with Rashid
31:18
Speaker 3: Walker not returning. But they made their move at tackle
31:21
Speaker 3: and they got two cats that are gonna potentially duke
31:24
Speaker 3: it out to try to win that spot in Belton
31:26
Speaker 3: and Jordan Morgan.
31:27
Speaker 2: That's true.
31:28
Speaker 3: So like that's where I don't see them going up
31:30
Speaker 3: all the way on Thursday night. Maybe on Friday more,
31:33
Speaker 3: isn't that.
31:35
Speaker 2: My thing about the draft is that you have to
31:36
Speaker 2: look at it the body of picks, the whole body
31:38
Speaker 2: of workers. If you draft David Batiari in the fourth
31:41
Speaker 2: round and he becomes a ten year starter, he played
31:43
Speaker 2: like a first rounder. We mentioned last week, Evan Williams
31:46
Speaker 2: playing like a first round pick. He was the second
31:49
Speaker 2: contract guy for sure. Buller, you could see you can
31:51
Speaker 2: make a case now he'd be a first round pick
31:53
Speaker 2: probably right. Those guys that are second rounders we ascribe
31:58
Speaker 2: them a value because of where they're drafted, and that
32:00
Speaker 2: melts away unless you're obsessed with the draft and where
32:03
Speaker 2: guys are picked.
32:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that goes for the third and fourth
32:05
Speaker 5: round as well, Like the are if you get guys
32:07
Speaker 5: of value that can be starters, you.
32:11
Speaker 2: Can miss on your first round pick. If the guy
32:12
Speaker 2: you take in the on the second day as a
32:14
Speaker 2: Hall of famer, yeah, it'll work out. It'll work out out.
32:17
Speaker 2: So that's why I look at it as like seven
32:18
Speaker 2: or eight or nine players as a group, not just
32:21
Speaker 2: the guy that's the first round.
32:22
Speaker 5: I think they're safe picks too. In the first round. Obviously,
32:25
Speaker 5: the quarterback is always a question mark. You're seeing guy.
32:28
Speaker 5: You're seeing teams give up on guys after a year
32:30
Speaker 5: or two after they take him in the first round
32:33
Speaker 5: and then they're off to draft somebody else two years later.
32:35
Speaker 5: And then look at Goody's pick, Like look at Jordan Morgan,
32:38
Speaker 5: Like van Nessa is definitely on the clock, but he
32:41
Speaker 5: might you know, bust or not.
32:43
Speaker 2: This is the year. This is the year. But if
32:46
Speaker 2: Jordan Morgan's like, oh he's a bus well he's he
32:48
Speaker 2: might start now he's gonna start at left tackling.
32:51
Speaker 5: He might be for ten years too, and it might
32:53
Speaker 5: end up being a really good pick. You just have
32:55
Speaker 5: to hold it, hold your takes. The tough thing is,
32:57
Speaker 5: though no one wants to do that. We can't hold
32:59
Speaker 5: off judgment.
33:00
Speaker 3: Sure, holding off judgment that would mean that we would
33:03
Speaker 3: be asking for more information before rushing to a conclusion.
33:07
Speaker 2: And that Now you're a year in with Matthew Golden
33:09
Speaker 2: and you say, well, there are other guys who had
33:11
Speaker 2: more impact. But it's like, yeah, but he's gonna start
33:14
Speaker 2: this year because he's gonna.
33:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, but people are already adding up this guy hadn't
33:18
Speaker 3: done it, and that guy only had two hundred catches
33:20
Speaker 3: or two hundred yards receiving in his first year. This
33:22
Speaker 3: is what the NFL has done to us, though. It's
33:24
Speaker 3: just being relevant every day on the calendar. What today
33:27
Speaker 3: today is? What is today today is? Funny baby?
33:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's they have meetings, they have what uh rehab?
33:37
Speaker 5: They do strength and conditioning starting today up in gre.
33:39
Speaker 3: Phase one one of the off season program. Yes, because
33:43
Speaker 3: you can't call him at as anymore now, it's phase
33:45
Speaker 3: one of the off season program and builds all the
33:47
Speaker 3: way through.
33:49
Speaker 5: And then by by Sunday, the rooks are in right well.
33:52
Speaker 3: And very quickly. Then the vet'slll go away for a
33:54
Speaker 3: little bit. They'll get rookie orientation, rookie mini camps in
33:58
Speaker 3: and away you go. And it is it's crazy how
34:00
Speaker 3: they have fully cannibalized the off season as still an
34:04
Speaker 3: NFL season and every other day during the fall and
34:07
Speaker 3: winter by the way, yeah you can, Oh you wanted
34:11
Speaker 3: Black Friday college football sucks to be you.
34:13
Speaker 2: We're taking that over now too. Yeah, how about every
34:15
Speaker 2: other major holiday? So and then you also get your
34:18
Speaker 2: perspectives colored by who they who they could have taken
34:21
Speaker 2: like the whole that's the j Watt dilemma. Well, okay,
34:24
Speaker 2: so Josh Meyer's second round pick for the Packers ended
34:27
Speaker 2: up they needed him. He stepped in when Lindsley was hurt,
34:30
Speaker 2: ended up being pretty solid. Right.
34:32
Speaker 3: Oh, but trure, he wasn't Creed Humphrey. He wasn't Creed Humphrey.
34:34
Speaker 3: Who was taken with him next ye uh huh oh, yeah, you're.
34:37
Speaker 2: Always gonna have that. Errison is a is a devilish
34:41
Speaker 2: thing man, and it is in life and in football.
34:45
Speaker 3: Why would you but I do you know there's a
34:47
Speaker 3: lot of folks that have a lot of charts and
34:49
Speaker 3: graphs and uh, you know, historical records of this is
34:52
Speaker 3: the guy that I would have picked, and this guy
34:53
Speaker 3: totally would have been all bro. I picked this guy
34:56
Speaker 3: and they picked that guy. It's inexact science. But the
35:00
Speaker 3: most important thing is how you develop some of these guys.
35:02
Speaker 3: And I think you're gonna find a stranger we were
35:06
Speaker 3: talking about earlier, Dolph. With the guys that right now
35:08
Speaker 3: are gonna be going three, four, five, six and beyond.
35:12
Speaker 3: I don't know how many of them are the best
35:15
Speaker 3: versions of themselves because you don't know how many different
35:17
Speaker 3: schools they want to, you know, how many different development curves.
35:20
Speaker 3: They kind of went on the old school not ever
35:22
Speaker 3: in place for Kirk Ferrets for four or five years now,
35:25
Speaker 3: where they know your.
35:26
Speaker 2: Awards continue to develop.
35:28
Speaker 3: And that's the reason why they put so many guys
35:30
Speaker 3: into the NFL, because they're kind of known commodities at
35:33
Speaker 3: that point.
35:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, if they were in a crappy program with crappy
35:37
Speaker 5: strength and conditioning for example, you know, and maybe at
35:39
Speaker 5: a mid level and so yeah, that's why your scouts
35:42
Speaker 5: are more important now than ever when it comes to
35:45
Speaker 5: your NFL teams. Yeah, and it's there's more data and
35:47
Speaker 5: there's more information, and Packers have a type with that
35:50
Speaker 5: you know RAS score. Oh yeah, they got a type
35:53
Speaker 5: that's athletic freaks. But are there a lot of those
35:56
Speaker 5: in day two? And you know anybody worth taking, Well,
35:59
Speaker 5: there's a couple.
36:00
Speaker 1: Uh.
36:00
Speaker 3: The running back from Arkansas is going to have a
36:02
Speaker 3: ridiculous RAS score. And don't be surprised if the Packers
36:04
Speaker 3: take a running back on day two.
36:06
Speaker 1: They've done that type of thing. I mean, they've done it.
36:10
Speaker 2: Oh, it'll really anger, but they need to.
36:13
Speaker 1: Start thinking about running that position in the future.
36:16
Speaker 3: So definitely, Jacob's coming off maybe his worst year in
36:20
Speaker 3: the NFL. Emmanuel Wilson gone, Marshawn Lloyd consistently hurt, and
36:25
Speaker 3: Army's guy Chris Brooks is a very very nice guy.
36:29
Speaker 2: Well he's not, and there you go. That's where you're
36:32
Speaker 2: sitting at.
36:32
Speaker 3: So I would not be sprised, especially if Price is
36:34
Speaker 3: there from Notre Dame fifty, a good player. You mentioned
36:37
Speaker 3: people with freaky athletic ability.
36:39
Speaker 5: I'll never forget the year the Bears drafted the dude
36:41
Speaker 5: who jumped out of a four foot pool. Yeah, yeah,
36:44
Speaker 5: uh that was Santose State. I can't remember his name.
36:47
Speaker 5: He was with him maybe a year, maybe two.
36:49
Speaker 1: Position was that he was a deep.
36:51
Speaker 5: He was either a linebacker, defensive end, linemack. But you
36:55
Speaker 5: know he was an okay player. But I think they
36:58
Speaker 5: drafted him just because of the social media. Is that
37:00
Speaker 5: what's going on in the sweet video? It was unbelievable. Yeah,
37:03
Speaker 5: you jumped out of the.
37:04
Speaker 3: Jared Gilbert, Jared Geron Gilbrun. There you go, good one, Yeah,
37:08
Speaker 3: pronounce it show third round pick. I didn't think you
37:12
Speaker 3: were that high.
37:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, after a viral video showed him jumping out of
37:15
Speaker 4: a completely full swing.
37:17
Speaker 3: It was not in two thousand and nine. It had
37:19
Speaker 3: to be like early Vine. No wonder he got drafted.
37:22
Speaker 3: You go viral during those days.
37:24
Speaker 2: You deserved it. Vine was the best dolphin. That was
37:27
Speaker 2: the best dog I got. That was the best draft
37:29
Speaker 2: video this side of Laramie Tunsel with the gas mask.
37:33
Speaker 2: You know, Larry Tunzel's video was very inspirational that night.
37:36
Speaker 4: Drew Yeah good though, whereas Gilbert gave you four games,
37:41
Speaker 4: Dolph and one total.
37:43
Speaker 3: Tack one tax is that one? It was only one
37:44
Speaker 3: season jumped on one tackle. Unbelievable but he always had
37:49
Speaker 3: that pool jump. As a tip of the Captain Laramie Tunzel.
37:51
Speaker 3: Let's remind people today's April twentieth, this four to twenty

Speaker 2: been telling you about that's a great deal. And then
38:47
Speaker 2: you know, we'll do our Waken Bake story later. But
38:49
Speaker 2: right as we speak, the skydiver who hit the scoreboard
38:52
Speaker 2: of Virginia Tech.
38:53
Speaker 3: Spring Land before your going I saw it. Oh my goodness,
38:58
Speaker 3: do you remind me of the guy.
38:59
Speaker 1: That came into that boxing match? What you when the
39:02
Speaker 1: nineties pause?
39:03
Speaker 4: There was a Yeah, there was a wasn't there a
39:06
Speaker 4: skydiver or something that dropped in the middle of a
39:08
Speaker 4: big time boxing I'll look it up, so look it up.
39:11
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
39:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, but oh boy, what a I thought of a
39:15
Speaker 3: number of different things right away. First off, great pull
39:18
Speaker 3: of whoever was videoing it, saying like, hey, he might
39:21
Speaker 3: be this is an amazing moment, but capture this.
39:24
Speaker 2: Oh oh he's not. He's not turning. He's not turning.
39:28
Speaker 3: And then when the poor son of a gun is
39:30
Speaker 3: sitting up there, Drew, there's no race over to help
39:34
Speaker 3: the young man, even though there's really no way you're
39:36
Speaker 3: helping him. He suspended what twenty five feet up into
39:38
Speaker 3: the air.
39:39
Speaker 4: Uh.
39:39
Speaker 3: It was just a race for who can get their
39:41
Speaker 3: phone out faster to get their best angle of the
39:46
Speaker 3: problem that's sitting right in front of you as he's
39:49
Speaker 3: dangling over the brand new scoreboard. They're at Lane Stadium
39:53
Speaker 3: at Virginia Tech. Maybe that's why we don't parachute in
39:57
Speaker 3: for the spring game. Yeah, or maybe that's why you
40:00
Speaker 3: do get this out of the way during the spring game.
40:02
Speaker 3: So this is during Virginia Virginia Tech.
40:04
Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, that's just like crazy man.
40:06
Speaker 2: Well, had he landed successfully, no one would have paid attention. Yeah,
40:10
Speaker 2: it's fair to start to the James Franklin era.
40:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't think about that.
40:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, you did James Franklin show up in a helicopter.
40:18
Speaker 3: I gotta think so, well, it might have been his
40:20
Speaker 3: helicopter that they might have bad guy go up into
40:22
Speaker 3: the air with that might have been. That can't be
40:24
Speaker 3: a good omen. I just I'm not necessarily the most
40:28
Speaker 3: stitious guy. I'm just a little stitious. That can't be
40:32
Speaker 3: a good sign. That doesn't seem like it's gonna be
40:34
Speaker 3: a great way to flare up the new spot where
40:37
Speaker 3: you're putting all this money and all these funds into
40:39
Speaker 3: your football program.
40:40
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven seven three, Arman, we got some good
40:43
Speaker 2: game balls and kicks of the balls holstered up. We
40:45
Speaker 2: do have some good game balls and kicking the ball balls.
40:48
Speaker 2: Got a roll to the balls. That guy got. That
40:52
Speaker 2: guy got his whole harness to the balls right up there.
40:54
Speaker 1: Gosh, here's one from Dobbler on the YouTube stream.
40:58
Speaker 4: He said, game ball for out through the Louis lau
41:00
Speaker 4: Tearian up for Nashville heading three fifty two with eleven steels.
41:03
Speaker 2: Nice is nice.
41:04
Speaker 3: He was balling out during spring training too. Almost wondered
41:08
Speaker 3: if he was going to get the call over Greg Jones. Yeah,
41:12
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, that might be good.
41:13
Speaker 4: Like I said, I'm waiting for that for that jersey,
41:16
Speaker 4: that's gonna be one of my favorite ones. And I
41:18
Speaker 4: did get a game ball to Coleman Crow's sister from
41:21
Speaker 4: Nick and Slinger. Now, I haven't availed myself with the
41:24
Speaker 4: internet to look at nice nice and at Missus Crowe,
41:28
Speaker 4: but you guys can do that for yourselves.
41:29
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure if you guys looked at this,
41:32
Speaker 1: h I didn't.
41:32
Speaker 2: I didn't necessarily see that.
41:34
Speaker 3: I did catch myself when I was giving the game
41:37
Speaker 3: ball to Missus Crow for the interview that she did
41:39
Speaker 3: with Sofia and and that whole thing. It did sound
41:42
Speaker 3: like I was potentially getting her game ball for that.
41:44
Speaker 3: But maybe potentially so uh, but he's also married. There
41:47
Speaker 3: were a lot of people in that in that section.
41:50
Speaker 3: Now he's from Georgia. I think they said, okay, so
41:52
Speaker 3: a little easier trek down to Miami. And also, I
41:55
Speaker 3: mean if you're going from anywhere, you can get to
41:57
Speaker 3: Miami four. Yeah, they can get you to turn to
41:59
Speaker 3: the to that ballpark at Loan Depot. But yeah, congratulations
42:04
Speaker 3: to her. Then obviously it we'll face on one. Apparently Yeah, well,
42:07
Speaker 3: third hour upon us. I'll keep them coming games and
42:09
Speaker 3: kicks right check.
42:10
Speaker 2: Out game Daymen'shealth dot Com. Get back in the game
