- 0:19Speaker 1: We have a big show in store for you today
- 0:22Speaker 1: on a big day in sports. About that Yes, NFL
- 0:26Speaker 1: Draft tonight, NBA playoffs continue, Nixon Hawks a big game
- 0:29Speaker 1: three in Atlanta. Chris Sim's going to join us at
- 0:32Speaker 1: three point fifteen, Dominique Foxworth at four, Steve Holman, voice
- 0:37Speaker 1: of the Hawks man at four twenty five. I can't
- 0:43Speaker 1: wait for Taylor to fall in love with that man.
- 0:45Speaker 1: But Taylor wants to start today's show with some bold
- 0:49Speaker 1: NFL Draft predictions because that's never been done.
- 0:53Speaker 3: Before on sports radio that tonight.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Yes, but I love that Taylor still wants to do
- 0:58Speaker 1: it because I still want to do it, Okay, And
- 1:00Speaker 1: so I finally found someone who was willing to participate
- 1:05Speaker 1: along with me in some of the most mundane sports
- 1:07Speaker 1: talk in the history of sports talk radio. Mikey a
- 1:11Speaker 1: before we get to our bold NFL predictions, here whose
- 1:16Speaker 1: voice which person would you need to hear from. Of
- 1:21Speaker 1: all the NFL experts and people who talk about the
- 1:24Speaker 1: draft for a living, who would you need to hear
- 1:27Speaker 1: from in regards to Ty Simpson that would get you
- 1:30Speaker 1: so excited that you would want the Jets to take
- 1:32Speaker 1: Ty Simpson in the first round.
- 1:35Speaker 4: Wow, oh man, what a question.
- 1:38Speaker 5: I don't know that there's anybody.
- 1:41Speaker 6: It used to be Sims, yes, but then Simms had
- 1:44Speaker 6: Zach Wilson ahead.
- 1:45Speaker 5: Of Trevor Lawrence, right, so that just went out the window.
- 1:48Speaker 5: So I don't know that anybody.
- 1:50Speaker 3: You're still holding that one against him.
- 1:52Speaker 7: I will hold it against him forever because he gave
- 1:55Speaker 7: me a modicum of hope when I was so sure.
- 1:58Speaker 5: All right, Zach Wilson was going to be.
- 2:00Speaker 1: So let me play some sound for you from a person.
- 2:04Speaker 1: You will know who it is. I'm not going to
- 2:05Speaker 1: introduce that person, and let's know it was not you, Israel.
- 2:09Speaker 1: And let's see if this is enough to convince mikey
- 2:12Speaker 1: Io was saying, play that sound for me.
- 2:14Speaker 4: I'll simply say it.
- 2:15Speaker 8: If he's not first round pick tonight, then we are
- 2:17Speaker 8: evaluating in the NFL the quarterback position wrong.
- 2:20Speaker 5: We just are.
- 2:22Speaker 4: I'll start with this number.
- 2:23Speaker 1: One.
- 2:24Speaker 8: Alabama was bad football team last year. In the context
- 2:27Speaker 8: of who Alabama has been, not a very good football team.
- 2:30Speaker 8: We're talking about a run game that was one hundred
- 2:32Speaker 8: and twenty eighth in America last year. We're talking about
- 2:35Speaker 8: an offensive line that was one hundred and tenth in
- 2:37Speaker 8: America last year.
- 2:38Speaker 4: We're talking about a.
- 2:39Speaker 8: Wide receiver group, a tight end group that was one
- 2:41Speaker 8: hundred and thirtieth in drops last year.
- 2:44Speaker 4: This was not a very good football team. And if everybody.
- 2:47Speaker 8: Wants to live in the world where you're not going
- 2:50Speaker 8: to draft a kid because he had fifteen starts, God
- 2:53Speaker 8: bless you.
- 2:53Speaker 4: You're allowed to track historical.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Data and lean on that.
- 2:58Speaker 8: All I know is the APE says he's no question
- 3:02Speaker 8: at worst around middle of a first round draft pick,
- 3:06Speaker 8: and if he's not tonight, I'll be the first person
- 3:08Speaker 8: to say I was wrong in it. But that means
- 3:10Speaker 8: we're not evaluing the quarterback position properly.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Dan Orlovsky, and he won't say that he's wrong if
- 3:16Speaker 1: he is wrong. By the way, it took me a
- 3:18Speaker 1: while to figure out who that was.
- 3:19Speaker 3: But then I realized it.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Well, I'm wondering if that's enough for Mikey a to
- 3:22Speaker 1: get excited about Ty Simpson going to the Jets, not
- 3:27Speaker 1: even a little bit.
- 3:28Speaker 5: Ye, I mean he's not one.
- 3:32Speaker 9: Hasn't he been the furthest on that side of Ty
- 3:35Speaker 9: Simpson than anybody?
- 3:36Speaker 3: Yes, yes, go ahead tell it.
- 3:38Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 3:39Speaker 10: He was so far on that side is he? That
- 3:40Speaker 10: people started connecting the dots that they have the same agent.
- 3:43Speaker 10: And then Dan Orlovsky had to come out and be like,
- 3:46Speaker 10: my agent isn't telling me what to say. This is
- 3:48Speaker 10: actually my opinion. I do have a name though, for Mikey.
- 3:52Speaker 10: If somebody came out and said Simpson is the best
- 3:55Speaker 10: quarterback in this draft, Mikey would be convinced.
- 3:58Speaker 5: Yeah, you better not say it because it won't be him.
- 4:02Speaker 5: Who is it?
- 4:04Speaker 4: Kevin O'Connell.
- 4:05Speaker 3: Oh maybe you got to do it? Yeah, to do it? Yeah,
- 4:09Speaker 3: why you found it?
- 4:10Speaker 11: Why?
- 4:11Speaker 3: I'm the guy? Why though?
- 4:12Speaker 5: Because he's the quarterback whisper.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Yeah, he whispered so well into JJ McCarthy's year that
- 4:16Speaker 1: he's not going to be the quarterback this year.
- 4:18Speaker 3: They had to go out and get Kyler Murray.
- 4:20Speaker 5: I mean he didn't pick he didn't pick him.
- 4:22Speaker 11: Ye.
- 4:23Speaker 9: Trying to figure out when it is that you're supposed
- 4:25Speaker 9: to bless somebody, right, because in that clip, Dan Orlatsky
- 4:28Speaker 9: was like, if they want to go this other route,
- 4:30Speaker 9: god bless them. I was like, is that because that's
- 4:32Speaker 9: the only help they can get? Is like you know from.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Above it's a great move by Orlovsky. If he's right,
- 4:38Speaker 1: he will celebrate it for the remainder of Tom. If
- 4:40Speaker 1: he's wrong, he won't admit to it, and no one
- 4:41Speaker 1: will ever bring it back up to him again.
- 4:44Speaker 3: I know that move. I'm familiar with that move. It's
- 4:46Speaker 3: called the stugats Well. It's win win, right.
- 4:50Speaker 9: If it could get drafted in the first round, it's like,
- 4:52Speaker 9: finally somebody listened to me. And if he doesn't the
- 4:54Speaker 9: second Ty Simpson does anything of note, it's going to
- 4:56Speaker 9: be like, see he should have been a first.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Round Yes, but Taylor, as the commissioner of sports radio.
- 5:00Speaker 3: Now, I need you to.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Keep track of this, Okay, because Dan Rolofsky said that
- 5:07Speaker 1: today and if he's wrong, I don't want to let
- 5:10Speaker 1: him forget about it. Okay, So mark the calendar, mark
- 5:13Speaker 1: the date, mark what he said. Write it down. He's
- 5:15Speaker 1: writing it down right now with his fake pen on
- 5:18Speaker 1: his fake piece of paper.
- 5:20Speaker 9: It's like a giant piece of chalk on chalk for it.
- 5:23Speaker 10: Maybe I do feel bad though, for dan Orlovsky because
- 5:28Speaker 10: when he comes out with an opinion, Stu. You know
- 5:31Speaker 10: dan Orlovsky, he watches a lot of tape. He breaks
- 5:34Speaker 10: film down almost like nobody else at ESPN maybe decides
- 5:38Speaker 10: like mina chimes. But when dan Orlofsky comes out with
- 5:41Speaker 10: an opinion, it's just everybody coming and saying, hey, aren't
- 5:44Speaker 10: you the same guy who ran out of the back.
- 5:46Speaker 5: Of the end zone got safety.
- 5:47Speaker 10: It's like, yeah, yeah, don't judge everybody at their lowest moments,
- 5:51Speaker 10: because that was Dan Rolofsky's lowest career moment.
- 5:54Speaker 3: You're right, it was, but he has to live with
- 5:56Speaker 3: that forever.
- 5:56Speaker 1: It's why no one's going to take his opinions on
- 5:58Speaker 1: quarterback seriously, a fifth round pick who stepped out of
- 6:00Speaker 1: the end zone.
- 6:01Speaker 3: I have another candidate.
- 6:02Speaker 9: Have you seen that photo of him wearing flesh colored
- 6:04Speaker 9: pants in a booth? That might be his lowest career moment.
- 6:07Speaker 9: It looks like he's naked from the waist down.
- 6:09Speaker 3: You know what this reminds me. We have guys.
- 6:11Speaker 12: So when you go to like home depot you go
- 6:13Speaker 12: to Walmart, Target and Christmas like is the stuff is
- 6:17Speaker 12: out earlier and earlier every year. You walk into a
- 6:19Speaker 12: home depot on Labor Day weekend, they've got Christmas trees up.
- 6:22Speaker 12: It's like after last year's Mel Kuiper, I am going
- 6:25Speaker 12: to die on the hill of Shador Sanders or Lotsky's like,
- 6:28Speaker 12: you know what, We're going to start this three weeks earlier.
- 6:30Speaker 12: We're going to start this a day earlier. We're going
- 6:32Speaker 12: to get this take out there right now. So it
- 6:35Speaker 12: even takes some of the thunder off of what Mel
- 6:37Speaker 12: would say tonight, die on Ty Hill.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Yes, but if you're walking into that store and you're
- 6:41Speaker 1: looking for a toy that says Ty Simpson's a first round.
- 6:44Speaker 3: Pick, you want it to be Mel Kuiper. I mean
- 6:46Speaker 3: you did. Temper's like, this is what I'm supposed to do.
- 6:52Speaker 4: In defense of.
- 6:53Speaker 10: Dan or Alofsky he with all these people coming after him. Yeah,
- 6:57Speaker 10: I'd like to see you guys line up at corn
- 7:00Speaker 10: and shotgun, be backed up on the one yard line
- 7:03Speaker 10: and then have your tight end in protection against Jared
- 7:06Speaker 10: Allen and see what you what you quarterback Monday Morning quarterbacks.
- 7:10Speaker 3: I would fold like a cheap suits. That's what I
- 7:12Speaker 3: would do.
- 7:15Speaker 1: I'd run out of the end zone. I'd think about
- 7:17Speaker 1: how much.
- 7:20Speaker 9: I think about how much money I'm making, and then
- 7:22Speaker 9: just throw the ball straight in the air.
- 7:25Speaker 1: All right, so let's get to some bold NFL draft
- 7:28Speaker 1: predictions here. I'm assuming we don't have imaging for this. Oh,
- 7:32Speaker 1: we have to use a terrible assumption.
- 7:33Speaker 3: Okay, to hear of you.
- 7:36Speaker 5: Very exciting.
- 7:39Speaker 3: All right. Do the guys in Sherman Oaks have predictions?
- 7:42Speaker 3: They do? Okay, man, Well, let's all go to Iowa
- 7:47Speaker 3: Sam first, and then we're actually go behind them.
- 7:49Speaker 5: Yes, we didn't learn from yesterday.
- 7:52Speaker 3: We're gonna love this one. Can I hear it as
- 7:55Speaker 3: Irish Sam? Please? Oh wow, a request. I wasn't done
- 7:59Speaker 3: writing on my script.
- 8:00Speaker 13: Now I have to do an impromptu part portion in
- 8:02Speaker 13: an Irish accent.
- 8:03Speaker 3: Great ed lib. All right, all right, here we go.
- 8:06Speaker 3: I had to shake the rust off. You gotta do
- 8:09Speaker 3: a little savya shavy s Here we go.
- 8:12Speaker 13: Bull take doesn't mean it's a great take, but it's
- 8:14Speaker 13: a bold take for the NFL draft tonight.
- 8:16Speaker 3: The Raiders stay on brand. For the Raiders, they.
- 8:19Speaker 13: Forego drafting for Ernando and Fernando and Mendoza. Instead, they
- 8:24Speaker 13: take Jeremiah Love out of Notre Dame. Now they have
- 8:27Speaker 13: two start running backs in Love and Ashton Genty.
- 8:31Speaker 3: They start Aidan O'Connell all year. They rush for one
- 8:34Speaker 3: hundred and thirty yards a game.
- 8:36Speaker 13: They only win three games, and then they hold out
- 8:39Speaker 13: for a better They have a modestly improved offensive line
- 8:43Speaker 13: with a Tyler Linderbaum at center, but they end up
- 8:45Speaker 13: winning three games, and then they draft a quarterback next
- 8:48Speaker 13: year and continue to kick the.
- 8:49Speaker 3: Can down the road. Thank you, yeah, Sam.
- 8:52Speaker 9: That the second time today I've thought about Fernando Mendoza
- 8:55Speaker 9: not going number one, because I actually looked up what
- 8:58Speaker 9: I could get if the Raiders do something crazy and
- 9:00Speaker 9: he goes number two, and I believe the number is
- 9:02Speaker 9: plus fifteen thousand.
- 9:04Speaker 3: I gotta be honest. I like the strategy from Iowa Sam.
- 9:07Speaker 1: I did or Irish Sam at two running backs in
- 9:10Speaker 1: a league where no one wants him one.
- 9:11Speaker 3: I mean they're gonna have two, and there are better
- 9:14Speaker 3: quarterbacks in next year's draft.
- 9:16Speaker 1: I know Dan wants to go next because he always
- 9:18Speaker 1: wants to go after Ioa with Sam go ahead day while.
- 9:20Speaker 12: Right, guys, I think it's an important draft for the
- 9:24Speaker 12: Kansas City Chiefs. They've got two first drum picks. They're
- 9:26Speaker 12: sitting there at nine and twenty nine, and you look
- 9:28Speaker 12: at what they missed out on last year. Number one
- 9:31Speaker 12: was a true game breaking wide receiver, where she Rice
- 9:35Speaker 12: had missed a few games. But I don't know if
- 9:37Speaker 12: Rashi Rice is really the answer. So I think Kansas
- 9:40Speaker 12: City goes wide receiver at nine and then at twenty
- 9:43Speaker 12: nine with that second first drund pick. Another thing that
- 9:46Speaker 12: hurt the Chiefs last year, they didn't get any calls,
- 9:49Speaker 12: So they're going referee at twenty nine. They're gonna take
- 9:52Speaker 12: a referee to get them more calls, which led them.
- 9:55Speaker 3: To those Super Bowl victories.
- 9:56Speaker 12: So wide receiver at nine, a referee at twenty nine
- 10:00Speaker 12: to turn things around in twenty twenty six.
- 10:02Speaker 1: A referee in the pocket right stare right in Andy
- 10:04Speaker 1: Reid's pocket.
- 10:05Speaker 3: Someone on their side. Yeah, I like it, man, I
- 10:08Speaker 3: should have gone first, say older than mine.
- 10:10Speaker 1: And I'd way bolder. Let's go to EP Jason, EP Jason.
- 10:15Speaker 14: Go ahead, guys, I'm gonna I'm gonna riff off of
- 10:17Speaker 14: what Sam had said about Jeremiah Love. But here's my
- 10:20Speaker 14: bold take for tonight. Chris Berman will be a part
- 10:23Speaker 14: of the coverage. That's not a bold take. Chris Berman
- 10:26Speaker 14: will though, say these words out loud. Jeremiah will be
- 10:31Speaker 14: making love with the Giants.
- 10:34Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, he's gonna.
- 10:36Speaker 14: Say those exact words, and then there's gonna be like
- 10:38Speaker 14: a fallout on Twitter over what he just said.
- 10:40Speaker 3: What did he mean? There might be an there might
- 10:43Speaker 3: be an investigation. Yes, can we get Taylor Berman? Can
- 10:47Speaker 3: we get Taylor Burman to deliver that?
- 10:49Speaker 14: Maybe?
- 10:50Speaker 4: Well?
- 10:51Speaker 3: Yes, there he is that guy anywhere.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Listen, in case you didn't hear it, he'll do it
- 10:55Speaker 1: one more Todd Okay, go ahead.
- 10:58Speaker 3: Well that's all we got.
- 11:02Speaker 12: What a draft for Bourbon Raiders number one in the
- 11:04Speaker 12: Giants with two first round picks, I mean Raiders.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Yes, listen, it might be a bad draft, but the
- 11:11Speaker 1: NFL is happy because the two New York teams they
- 11:14Speaker 1: control the draft, so I mean they're fired up they
- 11:18Speaker 1: get market number one. Let's go to a board up, Felipe,
- 11:22Speaker 1: it's Enrique.
- 11:25Speaker 3: Ty simprissco board out Ricardo. Go ahead.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Ty Simpson is the real QB one not for nandam
- 11:32Speaker 2: In does wow?
- 11:33Speaker 3: He agrees with Dan Orlovski. How about that's it's.
- 11:36Speaker 9: More of a bold opinion than a than a bold prediction, Like,
- 11:40Speaker 9: what is the prediction there that he's going to be better?
- 11:43Speaker 3: Yeah, rollie, yes, Okay, let's go to Mike ya. Mikeya,
- 11:47Speaker 3: what do you got?
- 11:49Speaker 5: Uh?
- 11:49Speaker 7: We're going to see an exorbitant amount of trades in
- 11:53Speaker 7: the first round, but nobody is going to give up
- 11:56Speaker 7: a first round pick for next year.
- 11:58Speaker 3: Okay?
- 12:00Speaker 4: I like that because next year's draft is so great.
- 12:03Speaker 9: On a scale of one to ten, How bold is that?
- 12:07Speaker 3: Well, it's pretty bold. It is pretty bold.
- 12:09Speaker 1: I love that they like ten to twelve, ten to
- 12:12Speaker 1: twelve trades.
- 12:13Speaker 3: I love the experts.
- 12:14Speaker 1: They're they're down on this year's draft, but they already
- 12:16Speaker 1: know that next year's draft is going to.
- 12:18Speaker 5: Be spectamics the case.
- 12:20Speaker 9: Yes, yep, I would say, in comparison to the Jeremiah
- 12:22Speaker 9: Love going number one overall, I think that's about a
- 12:24Speaker 9: two in boldness.
- 12:26Speaker 5: He did not realize that we had to just make them.
- 12:29Speaker 4: No same, same, Mike, Mike.
- 12:31Speaker 3: He takes this thing very seriously.
- 12:33Speaker 9: I'm making fun of yours before you can make fun
- 12:36Speaker 9: of mine.
- 12:37Speaker 4: So some people are doing bold takes.
- 12:39Speaker 10: Some people seem like they're doing fan fiction.
- 12:42Speaker 1: M okay, you're not happy with them.
- 12:48Speaker 3: You're the mission to say no more. Can I hear
- 12:51Speaker 3: from Chris Berman one more time?
- 12:53Speaker 5: We're not happy?
- 12:54Speaker 3: What is your bold prediction?
- 12:58Speaker 10: Taylor the Raider, after drafting Fernando Mendoza, trade back into
- 13:03Speaker 10: the first round of the draft to reunite them with
- 13:06Speaker 10: Indiana receiver Omark Cooper Junior.
- 13:09Speaker 3: Woh, I like that, love it reunion. That's pretty good.
- 13:12Speaker 3: That's how you do it. That's how the game is.
- 13:14Speaker 10: Mendoza's transition to the NFL. You got some familiarity with receiver.
- 13:18Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like Giannis.
- 13:21Speaker 5: They still only got me and Dan Bayer at the tackle.
- 13:25Speaker 4: I trust you too.
- 13:27Speaker 1: You guys would be an upgrade for the Jets type
- 13:30Speaker 1: brier feet All right?
- 13:32Speaker 3: Is is he? The floor is yours?
- 13:34Speaker 5: Oh man? This is right?
- 13:35Speaker 1: Your wheeled wheelhouse bold predictions on the NFL draft.
- 13:38Speaker 3: A thing you don't care about, A wheeled house. I
- 13:41Speaker 3: don't know what that does.
- 13:43Speaker 9: My bold prediction Ruben Bain missed short arms, by the way,
- 13:47Speaker 9: do you know that?
- 13:48Speaker 14: Like?
- 13:48Speaker 9: I believe only two players. I could be wrong on
- 13:50Speaker 9: that number. I currently in the NBA have shorter wingspans
- 13:54Speaker 9: than their height, and one of them is Desmond Baine.
- 13:58Speaker 3: I think the name is the problem.
- 14:00Speaker 9: Yes, all right, So I think Ruben Bain is going
- 14:03Speaker 9: to be drafted by a Florida team. He's either going
- 14:07Speaker 9: to be drafted by the Jags who trade up for him, or.
- 14:11Speaker 3: By the Dolphins at number eleven. That's it.
- 14:14Speaker 9: That's my bold. The box maybe the box, Nope, Nope.
- 14:16Speaker 9: That's my predictions. So if they're not part of my prediction,
- 14:19Speaker 9: I do not involve myself with anything Tampa.
- 14:21Speaker 1: So he did say Florida, you're right, Mikeya, but now
- 14:24Speaker 1: he has minimized that to just Jacksonville moving off or
- 14:27Speaker 1: the Dolphins taking him because it's a hometown kid.
- 14:30Speaker 9: Going to be in Florida, not that red team one
- 14:33Speaker 9: of the others.
- 14:37Speaker 3: How do you feel about you? I mean it's up
- 14:38Speaker 3: one and a half at best. I gotta tell you.
- 14:40Speaker 3: If Jacksonville moves up to get Ruben Bain, you win.
- 14:43Speaker 3: I mean, see I do. That's a good one. I'll
- 14:46Speaker 3: take that back the way that happening. Then Jeremiah Love
- 14:48Speaker 3: doing number one. I have Jeremiah Love going number two.
- 14:51Speaker 3: That is my bold NFL prediction number two. What do
- 14:54Speaker 3: you want?
- 14:54Speaker 1: Huh yep, Tennessee wants him at three. The Jets have
- 14:57Speaker 1: the second pick in the draft. I have the Jets
- 15:01Speaker 1: drafting Jeremiah Love.
- 15:04Speaker 3: You know what, that's bold? How about that the clear rebuild?
- 15:07Speaker 9: If I'd like it, Let's use the number two pick
- 15:10Speaker 9: for arguably the least important position.
- 15:13Speaker 3: We already have one in Brizol.
- 15:15Speaker 12: It's also bold because Stuard Tennessee move up a spot
- 15:18Speaker 12: from four to three, and then we didn't even talk
- 15:20Speaker 12: about that, bore.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, well they're trying to get love and then
- 15:24Speaker 1: the Jets toll like, screw you, we're taking them about that.
- 15:28Speaker 3: Jeremiah will just love on a jet Jet Yeah, Mikey.
- 15:36Speaker 5: Just so everybody knows.
- 15:37Speaker 7: For Izzy's big bold prediction, the Jaguars don't have a
- 15:41Speaker 7: first round pick, so they would have to move from
- 15:43Speaker 7: fifty six.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Right their first pick, you all the way up maybe
- 15:46Speaker 1: next year's first exactly.
- 15:48Speaker 3: So that would bust your bold.
- 15:49Speaker 5: One of us would be wrong.
- 15:55Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick time out here. Chris
- 15:57Speaker 1: sims is going to join us, get us ready for
- 15:59Speaker 1: the end of I'll.

- 17:09Speaker 9: Viking news from Fun Sports Guys.
- 17:13Speaker 12: He's just in from the NBA as the Milwaukee Bucks
- 17:16Speaker 12: are set to hire former Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins
- 17:19Speaker 12: to be the new head coach in the Bruce City.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Yeah, Taylor, that reaction you just heard was a yawn
- 17:29Speaker 1: from Taylor.
- 17:33Speaker 3: I feel the exact same way you.
- 17:38Speaker 9: Yeah, my first thought was there room for another tailor
- 17:41Speaker 9: in sports?
- 17:42Speaker 1: Apparently Taylor is still yawning. Hold on a second. Dan
- 17:44Speaker 1: thinks it's a great hire and has more going.
- 17:47Speaker 12: I think it furthers the conversation on what's going to
- 17:49Speaker 12: happen with Jannis's future, And by furthering it, I mean
- 17:52Speaker 12: clouding it even more because you're going to a former
- 17:55Speaker 12: Mike Budenholzer assistant who is familiar with Yiannis. If they
- 17:59Speaker 12: want someone can completely off the board out of nowhere,
- 18:02Speaker 12: there wouldn't be a relationship and it looks for a rebuild.
- 18:05Speaker 12: But this may continue the notion that there is a
- 18:08Speaker 12: chance Giannus could stay in Milwaukee. You're still yawning, probably,
- 18:12Speaker 12: But I just say my piece, Taylor Jenkins a great beard.
- 18:19Speaker 12: I don't know if we want to talk about that,
- 18:20Speaker 12: but we know it's okay.
- 18:22Speaker 3: What I do want to talk about. Thank you, Dan,
- 18:24Speaker 3: we appreciate it.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Sorry to Pooh pooh, you're breaking news that's okay and
- 18:28Speaker 1: killing debor seven year extension.
- 18:31Speaker 3: Million dollars who asked for that?
- 18:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I have breaking news, Dan, I do well. We
- 18:39Speaker 1: have Dominique Foxworth coming up at four o'clock and we
- 18:42Speaker 1: have Steve Holman, Voice of the Hawk coming up at
- 18:43Speaker 1: four fifteen. But we did bold NFL draft predictions in
- 18:47Speaker 1: the first segment, and I forgot to get to someone.
- 18:50Speaker 1: This is very exciting, so Bordot Ricardo, let's hear from
- 18:54Speaker 1: the person I forgot to go to, and that is
- 18:56Speaker 1: of course Ai Colin Cowherd.
- 18:59Speaker 15: Tonight's trap is getting sold as chaos, but the truth
- 19:02Speaker 15: is it's simple. At the top. Fernando Mendoza goes one
- 19:06Speaker 15: to the Las Vegas Raiders and everybody else starts reaching
- 19:09Speaker 15: for pass rush because nobody can block anybody anymore. My
- 19:12Speaker 15: bold take the New York Jets taking David Bailey as
- 19:15Speaker 15: the pick that changes a season fast, because plug and
- 19:18Speaker 15: play edge is the quickest way to flip a team's
- 19:21Speaker 15: identity and keep an eye on the Dallas Cowboys. If
- 19:24Speaker 15: they're tagging George Pickings and not paying him long term,
- 19:27Speaker 15: that screams we're drafting for leverage, not we're drafting for vibes.
- 19:34Speaker 10: So since Ai calling coward said that, yeah, he said
- 19:39Speaker 10: Bailey too was his bold prediction, y rvel Reese is
- 19:42Speaker 10: now the over.
- 19:44Speaker 1: But it's illicit in his defense, Ai Collins, it's a
- 19:48Speaker 1: bold NFL draft prediction.
- 19:50Speaker 3: He can't say rvel race. He has to go with that.
- 19:52Speaker 3: It's starting on a false premise.
- 19:54Speaker 9: Sorry, Ai Colin, but tonight's NFL draft is not being
- 19:58Speaker 9: sold as chaos whatsoever.
- 20:00Speaker 3: It's big sold as you know, pretty normal.
- 20:02Speaker 1: No, it is being sold as chaos because there aren't
- 20:04Speaker 1: big names.
- 20:05Speaker 3: And when there aren't big names, there's that quarter out now.
- 20:07Speaker 1: But there should be a lot of trades because teams
- 20:09Speaker 1: will be willing or the other thing where.
- 20:11Speaker 3: They don't think they're as good and they're not going
- 20:12Speaker 3: to be expert. You know how many people I've listened
- 20:17Speaker 3: to the same as you. I thought you put the
- 20:20Speaker 3: old and bold.
- 20:21Speaker 12: It was just just an all the cowboys in their picks.
- 20:25Speaker 1: Yeah, so we yawned at your your news and you're
- 20:27Speaker 1: yawning at Ai Colin is that the deal didn't.
- 20:29Speaker 3: Love it.
- 20:33Speaker 10: A couple of yawns, cutting.
- 20:34Speaker 1: It up tailored. Seems like you got the invite to
- 20:37Speaker 1: Chris Sims's barn. I mean that is a place that
- 20:40Speaker 1: I've been dying to go to. So I don't know
- 20:43Speaker 1: how this is going to work out. Have you texted
- 20:45Speaker 1: Chris Sims or anything? What's going on there?
- 20:48Speaker 10: So we kind of thought he was just joking on
- 20:49Speaker 10: the air. I texted him, he sent the address, so
- 20:53Speaker 10: I have the address. Now I'm wondering, do I show
- 20:56Speaker 10: up empty handed? Do I bring something? Do I bring
- 20:58Speaker 10: chips and drink?
- 20:59Speaker 3: Maybe?
- 21:00Speaker 1: What I would wonder if that's if that's the correct
- 21:02Speaker 1: address that he sent you, That's what.
- 21:04Speaker 5: I'd be wondering. That would be messed up.
- 21:06Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's something that he would do.
- 21:09Speaker 10: But he knows how important this night is for me
- 21:12Speaker 10: with Yankees, Red Sox to send me on a wild
- 21:14Speaker 10: goose chase, to not even watch the NFL Draft with him?
- 21:20Speaker 3: Did he give you coordinates?
- 21:23Speaker 4: No, he gave me too long.
- 21:25Speaker 10: But what I'm what I'm what I'm wondering now is
- 21:27Speaker 10: if I have enough time to go to Target before
- 21:29Speaker 10: this and get an iPad because I need I need
- 21:32Speaker 10: to watch these games.
- 21:33Speaker 2: Dominie Foxworth his Max be sure to catch live editions
- 21:37Speaker 2: of STU Godsend Company Live weekday, said three pm Eastern,
- 21:41Speaker 2: twelve pm Pacific.
- 21:44Speaker 1: There is a glow on mikey A's face every time
- 21:46Speaker 1: he sees Chris Simms.
- 21:48Speaker 5: It is.
- 21:48Speaker 3: It is absolutely amazing.
- 21:50Speaker 1: I figured after I don't know, eight or nine years
- 21:52Speaker 1: of doing this with Sims, I don't know how long
- 21:54Speaker 1: it's been that that glow would go away, but no,
- 21:57Speaker 1: it returns every time he sees you.
- 21:58Speaker 5: Man. Yeah.
- 22:00Speaker 11: Yeah, my wife's been saying that for twenty one years
- 22:02Speaker 11: in marriage and she still glows like a it's just here.
- 22:05Speaker 4: Damn, I just got that effect.
- 22:07Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just what I do.
- 22:09Speaker 11: Right.
- 22:10Speaker 1: What were these guys doing right before we started here?
- 22:12Speaker 1: You're doing something from the Barn, the Unbuttoned Podcast for
- 22:15Speaker 1: the draft. These guys wanted an invite and these guys,
- 22:18Speaker 1: by these guys, I mean Taylor and mikey Ay, they
- 22:21Speaker 1: want an invite to the Barn.
- 22:22Speaker 4: Yeah, and they can get it. They can get it.
- 22:24Speaker 11: I mean you're asking to come up there too, if
- 22:26Speaker 11: you want to fly up and hang out in the barn.
- 22:29Speaker 11: They'll be food, they'll be snacks, they'll be drinks, they'll
- 22:32Speaker 11: be drinks, they'll be smoky smoky. Right, I won't be
- 22:35Speaker 11: partaking in that. No smoky smoky or drinks for me.
- 22:38Speaker 11: I'm gonna try to stay focused here for this little exercise.
- 22:41Speaker 4: Two years in a row.
- 22:43Speaker 11: I used to do drinking, drinking smoky smoky, but then
- 22:46Speaker 11: one of my bosses didn't really love it, so I
- 22:49Speaker 11: stopped last year. And I'm Johnny professional in the barn now.
- 22:53Speaker 11: But you guys don't have to be professional if you come.
- 22:55Speaker 1: No, I never am had your boss know? Howd that
- 22:57Speaker 1: person know? I mean, I mean you know me.
- 23:00Speaker 4: I wear my heart on my sleeve.
- 23:01Speaker 11: I before the show started, I went right outside the
- 23:05Speaker 11: door and smoked a joint. And I can remember him
- 23:08Speaker 11: the last year I did it, he was like walking
- 23:10Speaker 11: by the door every few seconds, like, well, surely he'll
- 23:12Speaker 11: just take one or two hits, And you know that
- 23:14Speaker 11: doesn't exist with me. So here I am like forty
- 23:16Speaker 11: five hits later, and he still walking by, like is
- 23:19Speaker 11: he really gonna be able to do this show? And
- 23:20Speaker 11: I feel like from that point on, and I did
- 23:22Speaker 11: a great job that night, but you know, they probably
- 23:25Speaker 11: didn't love my you know, squinted eyes, glassy eyes, and
- 23:29Speaker 11: everything else along with it.
- 23:30Speaker 1: So you wear your weed on your sleeve, is what
- 23:33Speaker 1: you're saying. It's actually it's noticeable, right you can tell yeah.
- 23:36Speaker 11: Basically, yeah, And everybody knows what I do and who
- 23:39Speaker 11: I am, and I don't hide that from anybody.
- 23:42Speaker 4: I even like in New York City.
- 23:44Speaker 11: I am the kind of guy that if you go
- 23:46Speaker 11: on fifty seventh Street and I'm in Midtown and I'm
- 23:48Speaker 11: gonna go to NOBU, like, I'll.
- 23:50Speaker 4: Be on the sidewalk smoking a joint and I'll have that.
- 23:53Speaker 11: People walk by me every now and then and be like, man,
- 23:56Speaker 11: you're just smoking out in public, and I'm like, yeah,
- 23:58Speaker 11: I mean everybody knows I smoke.
- 23:59Speaker 4: I talk about on TV like, who the hell cares?
- 24:01Speaker 4: What are we worried about? You've got to break some
- 24:04Speaker 4: barriers in life here.
- 24:05Speaker 10: Stew were running into a bit of a dilemma at
- 24:07Speaker 10: the Barn though, because it seems like Sims won't compromise
- 24:11Speaker 10: with me and put the Knicks game onto.
- 24:14Speaker 11: Oh is that because there's football night, it's a draft night,
- 24:18Speaker 11: and we only got one TV in there, so I
- 24:20Speaker 11: don't give a damn about his the New York Knicks,
- 24:23Speaker 11: and I'm not into basketball mode right now, so yeah,
- 24:26Speaker 11: that's not you know, going to happen.
- 24:29Speaker 4: Sorry, Slugger Taylor.
- 24:30Speaker 7: Compromise implies leverage of which you have none.
- 24:37Speaker 3: Right, you want to invite to the Sims barn.
- 24:40Speaker 1: You watch whatever the Sims has on in the bar.
- 24:42Speaker 11: That's it, right, I compromise for him come and show
- 24:45Speaker 11: up for the last two times that was on here, right,
- 24:47Speaker 11: So I mean they got all that and then I
- 24:49Speaker 11: think also, something happened with your mic there.
- 24:51Speaker 4: You just screwed it up again, so I did, right, Yeah, you.
- 24:55Speaker 5: Know you are incredible.
- 24:57Speaker 3: I can't move if I move with that.
- 25:01Speaker 4: You guys talking.
- 25:02Speaker 5: I'll want to figure it out, all right.
- 25:05Speaker 6: I want to get into some draft stuff with Sim
- 25:07Speaker 6: while Stu figures this out. Sims, I'm looking at your
- 25:10Speaker 6: tiers and I came across your wide receiver tier, and
- 25:14Speaker 6: not only did you have a surprise at number one
- 25:17Speaker 6: in Denzel Boston, but there is an obvious omission in
- 25:21Speaker 6: your top three tiers.
- 25:23Speaker 5: I don't see Malachai lemon On there? What happened there?
- 25:26Speaker 11: No, you don't see Casey conception on on there. You
- 25:28Speaker 11: don't see Omar Cooper on there, right. I don't think
- 25:31Speaker 11: their first round picks really, they are only first round
- 25:34Speaker 11: picks in the modern day NFL. The modern day NFL
- 25:37Speaker 11: the last five to six years where we have gone
- 25:40Speaker 11: this way, We're not going to take chances as much
- 25:43Speaker 11: on guys in the first round. We're going to go
- 25:45Speaker 11: with a guy that we just know can produce and
- 25:48Speaker 11: be really good and help us out right away in
- 25:50Speaker 11: year one, and then the GM doesn't get dragged for
- 25:52Speaker 11: having a bust on the first round pick.
- 25:54Speaker 3: Right.
- 25:55Speaker 4: So that's where I look at it. I don't like.
- 25:57Speaker 11: Again, out of the people, I don't know, then anybody's like,
- 26:00Speaker 11: oh my gosh, Makai Lemon top twenty pick. As far
- 26:03Speaker 11: as pure physical talent, now what I would tell you too,
- 26:06Speaker 11: and what happens with receivers, And you guys have heard
- 26:09Speaker 11: me say this before. It's oh, he makes me feel
- 26:11Speaker 11: warm and cozy. Look at that USC emblem and ooh
- 26:14Speaker 11: he had a lot of catches and all that. But
- 26:16Speaker 11: there's guys that are down the line that I would
- 26:18Speaker 11: tell you that are more physically gifted than Malachai Lemon
- 26:23Speaker 11: or Omar Cooper or Casey conception on. But they were
- 26:26Speaker 11: at big schools, they played in big games, and they
- 26:29Speaker 11: got to show that and that makes evaluators feel good.
- 26:33Speaker 11: So guy like Zachariah Brant from Georgia really good. I
- 26:36Speaker 11: think you put him in the USC and I know
- 26:38Speaker 11: he was there at one time. I get that, But
- 26:40Speaker 11: if he was on that team this year, you'd go, oh,
- 26:41Speaker 11: my gosh, that's going to be a top twenty pick
- 26:43Speaker 11: in the draft.
- 26:43Speaker 3: No doubt.
- 26:44Speaker 11: He's Jalen Wattle. I mean, so that's you know again,
- 26:48Speaker 11: I like the player. I know he's going in the
- 26:51Speaker 11: first round. He's in my first round mock. But for me,
- 26:54Speaker 11: as far as on the field, pure physical talent, no,
- 26:58Speaker 11: those guys don't blow me away that way, Sims.
- 27:01Speaker 10: It feels like the draft really starts with the Jets
- 27:03Speaker 10: picking at two because everybody knows Mendoz is going one
- 27:06Speaker 10: to Vegas. Yeah, where are you at in the Reese
- 27:10Speaker 10: Bailey debate?
- 27:11Speaker 4: At two? Yeah, I would take rvel Reeves.
- 27:13Speaker 11: I think arvel Reeves is the second best pure player
- 27:16Speaker 11: in the draft, and I think rvel Reeves can be
- 27:18Speaker 11: Micah Parsons and Abdual Carter. Now I know you don't
- 27:20Speaker 11: have all that evidence of rushing the passer, right, But
- 27:24Speaker 11: I think if you took the top ten pass rushes
- 27:26Speaker 11: of RML res and put him against anybody to go,
- 27:28Speaker 11: they're the best in the draft. Nobody can do that
- 27:31Speaker 11: right there, he's so explosive. Of course he's raw. He
- 27:34Speaker 11: needs work there. So there's a little bit of him.
- 27:36Speaker 11: Back to our old conversation of the unknown. Right, Oh,
- 27:39Speaker 11: I don't know, and this is to me where I
- 27:42Speaker 11: want to be like, wait, we don't think the biggest, freakiest,
- 27:44Speaker 11: the athletic guy in the draft can go on the
- 27:46Speaker 11: edge and become an edge guy. I think be overanalyze
- 27:49Speaker 11: at the times. But I can understand the Jets thinking
- 27:52Speaker 11: about Bailey again.
- 27:53Speaker 4: It's a big year for the Jets.
- 27:54Speaker 11: The brass, the coaching staff, everybody right their asses on
- 27:57Speaker 11: the hot seat. Where Bailey can definitely contribute right away
- 28:01Speaker 11: on the edge where rvel rees, I think you're going
- 28:03Speaker 11: to have like a Michael Parsons thing. He plays middle linebacker.
- 28:07Speaker 11: We put him on the edge a little bit and
- 28:09Speaker 11: we continue to grow that as we go along to
- 28:11Speaker 11: maybe then year two it's mostly at edge and some
- 28:14Speaker 11: middle linebacker, and then year three it's.
- 28:16Speaker 4: Just all edge and I feel like that's r bel Rees.
- 28:18Speaker 11: But the Jets might want somebody proven true commodity right now,
- 28:22Speaker 11: and I think that's probably where that argument is with
- 28:25Speaker 11: the Jets at number two.
- 28:26Speaker 4: But I would take rvel Rees.
- 28:28Speaker 3: Sims.
- 28:28Speaker 1: How'd you feel about the trade of Dexter Lawrence from
- 28:30Speaker 1: the Giants of the Bengals.
- 28:31Speaker 11: Well, I love Dexter Lawrence and I didn't want it
- 28:34Speaker 11: to really happen, but when you get the number ten
- 28:37Speaker 11: pick of the draft, you definitely take that. I mean
- 28:39Speaker 11: for a guy that's twenty eight going to be twenty
- 28:41Speaker 11: nine in November.
- 28:42Speaker 3: Who doesn't want to be there right and.
- 28:44Speaker 11: Doesn't want to be there exactly right. And I think
- 28:46Speaker 11: they have concerns. They had concerns about his health last year.
- 28:50Speaker 11: I think they didn't like the way he handled rehab
- 28:53Speaker 11: and certain things. I've heard that his weight got a
- 28:55Speaker 11: little out of control as well. And they got lucky
- 28:58Speaker 11: here in the Bengals, who barely have an NFL starting
- 29:01Speaker 11: defensive line. There's no dtackle worth taking at number ten.
- 29:04Speaker 11: They were desperate and they got that done. And now
- 29:07Speaker 11: the Giants have a chance to, I mean really have
- 29:10Speaker 11: a chance to do something special. Jeremile Love, Sonny Styles,
- 29:14Speaker 11: Caleb Downs, Jordan Tyson, all those guys are in the
- 29:18Speaker 11: mix for the New York Giants right now.
- 29:19Speaker 4: And as a Giant fan, that certainly excites me.
- 29:22Speaker 5: What would you want the Giants to do?
- 29:23Speaker 4: What do you expect them to do with those two picks?
- 29:25Speaker 5: All right?
- 29:26Speaker 11: Well in my mock draft here, so I think that
- 29:28Speaker 11: the Cardinals are going to take Jeremiah Love. That would
- 29:31Speaker 11: be my two cents. It's Michaeliffleuher. He's an offensive run
- 29:35Speaker 11: game specialist. He's an offensive coach who's a head coach.
- 29:39Speaker 11: He came from Shanahan and McVeigh, who run the football.
- 29:43Speaker 11: His damn brother traded for Josh Jacobs. JEREMILEH. Love is
- 29:47Speaker 11: the best offensive player in the draft other than Fernando Mendoza.
- 29:50Speaker 11: So yeah, I think that is what will happen there.
- 29:53Speaker 11: And then you go, oh, we're at pick four with
- 29:57Speaker 11: the Titans, and you sit there and go, well, okay,
- 30:00Speaker 11: whoever the Jets don't take right and whoever that is
- 30:05Speaker 11: RVL raised, David Bailey, whatever one of those could be
- 30:08Speaker 11: there for the Titans that pick number four. So that
- 30:12Speaker 11: could be interesting in itself to see what they do
- 30:15Speaker 11: there but the Giants. So this is what I had
- 30:16Speaker 11: in my mock draft. I had the Commander's trade up
- 30:21Speaker 11: two spots because they need a receiver and take Cardinal
- 30:23Speaker 11: Tait at number five and switch with the Giants. And
- 30:26Speaker 11: then I had the Giants taking Sonny Styles at seven
- 30:28Speaker 11: and Jordan Tyson at ten. But again I don't know,
- 30:32Speaker 11: because the Saints could easily take Jordan Tyson, that's for sure.
- 30:35Speaker 11: The Cowboys could definitely, I think that's a real Then
- 30:37Speaker 11: Cowboys don't have any needs on their football team middle
- 30:40Speaker 11: linebackers won. I think that's why you saw mel Kiper
- 30:42Speaker 11: and Daniel Jeremiah all have the Cowboys trade to get
- 30:45Speaker 11: the number six pick with the Cleveland Browns and take
- 30:48Speaker 11: a Sonny Styles.
- 30:49Speaker 4: So this is where I think it.
- 30:50Speaker 11: Can be a very interesting first and round and we
- 30:52Speaker 11: could see a lot of action tomorrow night.
- 30:54Speaker 1: As you've gotten ready and prepared yourself for this draft.
- 30:58Speaker 1: When you watch Mendoza, are you liking him more or
- 31:01Speaker 1: are you liking him less?
- 31:02Speaker 4: Oh?
- 31:02Speaker 11: No, more more? Yeah, I love Mendoza. Mendoz is a
- 31:06Speaker 11: slam dunk. I I'm like almost zero questions about Mendoza.
- 31:10Speaker 11: He's his you know, this is where the draft drives
- 31:13Speaker 11: me crazy, because I feel like if he was a
- 31:15Speaker 11: little cooler and dressed cooler and he interviewed cooler, everybody.
- 31:19Speaker 4: Like he's the number one pick by far. But now
- 31:23Speaker 4: he's like he's a little bit of like a nerd.
- 31:25Speaker 11: And now it's like, well, I've seen some other guys
- 31:27Speaker 11: that I think i'd rank him. Like what, he's a
- 31:29Speaker 11: slam dunk, he's a quarterback, he's a franchise, he's got
- 31:32Speaker 11: a strong arm, he's smart as hell, he works hard
- 31:34Speaker 11: as hell. How is he not the number one player
- 31:36Speaker 11: on everybody's board? You're just making up if you don't
- 31:38Speaker 11: have him as a number one player.
- 31:39Speaker 3: On your board.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Yes, if he had some Chris Sims and him, he'd
- 31:42Speaker 1: be everyone talking about it.
- 31:44Speaker 11: Sexy mis appeal would come back. You know what I
- 31:46Speaker 11: do to Mikey a you know, I make him blush
- 31:48Speaker 11: and get a shine every time I sees me.
- 31:50Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead, Mikey. Mikey wants to ask you about
- 31:54Speaker 1: Ruben Bain.
- 31:55Speaker 3: I find this.
- 31:55Speaker 1: I find this player to be particularly funny because if
- 31:58Speaker 1: his arms were a half inch longer, he'd be the
- 32:00Speaker 1: top three pick of the draft.
- 32:02Speaker 5: You know, so stud throws it to me to ask
- 32:04Speaker 5: the question. Then he essentially asked the question.
- 32:06Speaker 7: Thanks for that was your question.
- 32:09Speaker 4: You were going to ask about Ruin Bain.
- 32:11Speaker 5: I mean to ask if.
- 32:12Speaker 7: Chris Simms, if Chris Simms was the GM of a
- 32:14Speaker 7: team and he's watching tape of Reuben Bain and he's
- 32:17Speaker 7: falling in love with this guy, and then somebody comes
- 32:19Speaker 7: to him and hands him a paper that says his
- 32:21Speaker 7: arms are two tenths of an inch too short. What
- 32:24Speaker 7: is Chris Simms doing? That's what I want out.
- 32:27Speaker 11: It is a real tangible thing, right, So there is
- 32:31Speaker 11: like you can't just like totally disregard it. There's a
- 32:34Speaker 11: few outliers, but through the majority of the draft era
- 32:38Speaker 11: and especially the last twenty years where they've really honed
- 32:41Speaker 11: in on this, Like you get under thirty three and
- 32:45Speaker 11: the success rate ain't very good. It's it's not thirty
- 32:48Speaker 11: two and a half. Especially, It's like it's not now
- 32:51Speaker 11: you have to have something special off of that, right,
- 32:55Speaker 11: Like you talk about, hey, you want to draft a
- 32:57Speaker 11: small quarterback. Okay, that's risky, but he he better have
- 33:01Speaker 11: three rockets up his ass like Kyler Murray, right, something
- 33:04Speaker 11: like that.
- 33:04Speaker 4: So this is where Bain.
- 33:06Speaker 11: Yeah, that scares you, but then when you turn on
- 33:09Speaker 11: the film, you just go, man, there's so many other
- 33:11Speaker 11: ways this guy can win.
- 33:12Speaker 4: It's not just gonna be about arm Lang.
- 33:14Speaker 11: And he's so physical and he's so strong, and he
- 33:17Speaker 11: plays balls to the wall and he puts his body
- 33:20Speaker 11: in vulnerable positions and just throws it around to where Listen.
- 33:25Speaker 11: I like rbl Reach the best, but if you're seeing
- 33:29Speaker 11: my rankings there, Ruben Bain was my second favorite.
- 33:32Speaker 4: I'm as high on.
- 33:33Speaker 11: David Bailey as everybody else. I like him a lot.
- 33:36Speaker 11: I certainly recognize he's a top fifteen pick, but he
- 33:39Speaker 11: was not my favorite. I love Baine, I really do.
- 33:43Speaker 11: And you know, Bain's another guy. Where does he go
- 33:46Speaker 11: in this first round? I mean there's a number of places. Again,
- 33:48Speaker 11: the Saints at eight and they certainly can take them.
- 33:50Speaker 11: I have the Chiefs at nine taking him, and again,
- 33:53Speaker 11: wouldn't be surprised that there's some team sitting in the
- 33:55Speaker 11: weeds that trades up late to eight or nine to
- 33:58Speaker 11: maybe get him. But I'm I'm okay with it because
- 34:01Speaker 11: Bain has enough other ways to win and be elite
- 34:03Speaker 11: in the game rather than just arm length.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Mike Ye, I'm going to ask you the same question
- 34:08Speaker 1: about Simpson as I asked you about Mendoza. You watch
- 34:10Speaker 1: the film on him, did you like him more or
- 34:12Speaker 1: less after watching film?
- 34:13Speaker 11: Yeah, I would say it stayed about the same. He
- 34:16Speaker 11: was one that didn't jump. I have other ones that
- 34:18Speaker 11: I would tell you, Man, the more I watched, Like
- 34:20Speaker 11: if I would go back, there's a few. I'm not
- 34:22Speaker 11: big on changing my rankings, but I got a few
- 34:25Speaker 11: that I'd go ooh. If I had a change he
- 34:27Speaker 11: or I had a chance to do it, I'd put
- 34:29Speaker 11: this guy above that guy. Now I feel about the same.
- 34:32Speaker 11: I have worries about it. You know again, I'm not
- 34:34Speaker 11: into small quarterbacks. Everybody knows that. It listens to me.
- 34:37Speaker 11: It's not my favorite thing in the world. And then
- 34:39Speaker 11: you're talking about a guy here that, yeah, he weighed
- 34:41Speaker 11: two hundred and ten pounds at the combine, but anybody
- 34:43Speaker 11: that'll tell you that knows anything. He was one hundred
- 34:45Speaker 11: and ninety pounds at the end of the year in
- 34:47Speaker 11: college football.
- 34:48Speaker 4: He got beat.
- 34:49Speaker 11: The play wasn't that great at the end of the year,
- 34:53Speaker 11: and he's only played one year.
- 34:55Speaker 4: So that's what scares me.
- 34:56Speaker 3: Now.
- 34:56Speaker 4: I like some of his play.
- 34:58Speaker 11: I do you know, he's incredible athlete, He's got pop
- 35:01Speaker 11: in his arm. I don't love his motion and how
- 35:04Speaker 11: he throws the ball always, and that detracts me as well.
- 35:08Speaker 11: But no, I think I've stayed pretty consistent. I think
- 35:11Speaker 11: I told you guys when I went into it, I
- 35:14Speaker 11: was thinking I was going to like him and it
- 35:16Speaker 11: was going to be closure to Mendoza than I thought.
- 35:18Speaker 11: And then I watched and I went to it's not close,
- 35:20Speaker 11: and I said, you were with Ty Simpson, and I
- 35:22Speaker 11: still sit here and go, I don't it feels like
- 35:25Speaker 11: it's Pittsburgh or Bust in the first and the second round.
- 35:29Speaker 11: I just went over this with Mike Floria. Well, let
- 35:32Speaker 11: me just run through this. First Off, you look at
- 35:33Speaker 11: the NFL. Not many teams need quarterbacks right now, right,
- 35:36Speaker 11: I mean no, they're not many. And that's where you know,
- 35:38Speaker 11: you get back into me and telling you there's not
- 35:40Speaker 11: a quarterback problem in the NFL. There's an offensive coordinator problem.
- 35:43Speaker 11: That's the biggest problem in the issue. But off of that, okay, Mike, Yeah,
- 35:47Speaker 11: you're New York Jets one. I believe Frank Reich and
- 35:51Speaker 11: Aaron Glenn believe in bigger quarterbacks?
- 35:54Speaker 4: Two, are you really want to start this charade and
- 35:57Speaker 4: all this crap here?
- 35:58Speaker 5: Right?
- 35:59Speaker 11: You guys can play at football and start one and
- 36:01Speaker 11: two and be like, damn, we look pretty good.
- 36:02Speaker 4: And you know the fan base Simpson, why we have
- 36:05Speaker 4: Gino in there? And it just because you're asking for
- 36:09Speaker 4: career suicide.
- 36:10Speaker 11: I mean, the Jets take him. I want to be like, well,
- 36:12Speaker 11: you can take them. It might work, but your ass
- 36:15Speaker 11: might be fired in four months.
- 36:17Speaker 4: So how fuck with that one?
- 36:19Speaker 11: Then the Cardinals, the Cardinals just got burned by a
- 36:23Speaker 11: smaller quarterback, Manti Austin for the GM there.
- 36:27Speaker 4: He's from New England. I worked with him there.
- 36:29Speaker 11: I know he believes in bigger quarterbacks, and I don't
- 36:32Speaker 11: think they'd go that route again. I think they're gonna
- 36:35Speaker 11: like I said Jeremiah Love, and they'll punt to next year.
- 36:38Speaker 11: Everybody thinks the quarterback class next year is going to
- 36:40Speaker 11: be better and maybe they'll be part of the March
- 36:42Speaker 11: for Arch, just like we've talked about before. So I
- 36:45Speaker 11: don't think they do it. So then you sit there
- 36:47Speaker 11: and you go who else? Maybe the Rams in the
- 36:50Speaker 11: second round for the future of Matt Stafford if he retires.
- 36:54Speaker 11: Other than that, it's Pittsburgh so like, I certainly can
- 36:57Speaker 11: see Ty Simpson being on the board in the middle
- 36:59Speaker 11: of the second round still and Pittsford maybe trading up
- 37:02Speaker 11: a few spots to get them, but I think that's
- 37:04Speaker 11: a possibility.
- 37:05Speaker 3: Chris Sims, we appreciate it. We miss you. We always
- 37:07Speaker 3: enjoy talking to you, buddy.
- 37:08Speaker 4: Thank you for doing it. You know it did though
- 37:10Speaker 4: right here? How fun to mate.

- 37:39Speaker 4: Just search Fox Sports.
- 37:40Speaker 9: Radio on YouTube and watch live tonight.
- 37:43Speaker 3: Go ahead, Taylor Stu.
- 37:44Speaker 10: I'm worried because I texted sim should I bring any
- 37:47Speaker 10: food or drinks or anything? And you said, no, I'm
- 37:49Speaker 10: preparing for the draft, please leave me alone. Oh yeah, yeah,
- 37:52Speaker 10: but now I'm worried about I never got confirmation of
- 37:55Speaker 10: what time I should show up.
- 37:56Speaker 3: Oh really, wow, you just got the address. Huh, that's
- 37:59Speaker 3: what you got.
- 38:00Speaker 10: So now I'm thinking if the draft starts at eight,
- 38:02Speaker 10: I'll probably just show up like seven forty five.
- 38:06Speaker 5: Yeah, feel safe.
- 38:07Speaker 1: I mean, just show up when you want to show up.
- 38:09Speaker 1: He is, he's preparing for the draft. He's gonna be
- 38:11Speaker 1: doing a live show, and Phil's gonna be there. We'll
- 38:14Speaker 1: get to think about a Thursday.
- 38:15Speaker 3: What do you got.
- 38:16Speaker 10: It can't be just show up when you want to
- 38:17Speaker 10: show up, because if I leave right after this radio
- 38:20Speaker 10: show at five, and I show up at five thirty,
- 38:22Speaker 10: and then I'm just looking at his wife and she's like, oh, so,
- 38:25Speaker 10: how's your week on, I'm like, oh, listen.
- 38:27Speaker 1: I know you're down here in Florida now, and perhaps
- 38:29Speaker 1: you forgot about New York traffic, especially at five o'clock.
- 38:32Speaker 1: You leave your house at five, you're not getting there.
- 38:33Speaker 1: Told about seven fifteen, my friend.
- 38:35Speaker 11: Fair.
- 38:35Speaker 3: Okay, we'll get to think about it Thursday.
- 38:39Speaker 1: At just a second here, because Taylor has a special
- 38:41Speaker 1: invite to watch the draft tonight, but is he? Devin
- 38:44Speaker 1: Booker had some comments last night in a game that
- 38:47Speaker 1: I did not watch. I'm sorry, I'm not watching Oklahoma
- 38:50Speaker 1: City and I'm not watching Phoenix and the reason I'm
- 38:52Speaker 1: not watching is ZZZ plus. But we do have some
- 38:55Speaker 1: sound here from Devin Booker after.
- 38:57Speaker 5: The game.
- 39:00Speaker 3: If you're aware of this. But even the broadcast was
- 39:01Speaker 3: confused by your tech.
- 39:02Speaker 4: What was the explanation that you got?
- 39:04Speaker 16: I still haven't got one. It's definitely something that has
- 39:09Speaker 16: to be looked into. I heard cru So tell him
- 39:13Speaker 16: to call the tech, and you know he ended up
- 39:16Speaker 16: doing it. So that's one ref about eleven years. I
- 39:20Speaker 16: haven't called a rough out by name, but James was
- 39:22Speaker 16: terrible tonight, through and through. It's bad for the sport,
- 39:28Speaker 16: bad for the integrity of the sport. You know, people
- 39:32Speaker 16: are going to start viewing this as a WWE, you know,
- 39:34Speaker 16: if they're not helped.
- 39:36Speaker 9: All right, So we get the boy there well at WWE.
- 39:38Speaker 9: Comment was the last thing I needed to get in
- 39:40Speaker 9: there because this is what I was talking about before.
- 39:42Speaker 9: But let me actually explain the play to you, Stuf
- 39:44Speaker 9: you I haven't seen it.
- 39:45Speaker 3: I saw the highlight.
- 39:46Speaker 9: Okay, So for those who haven't seen it, it's Devin Bookers.
- 39:49Speaker 9: It's getting a foul call because he's falling out of bound,
- 39:52Speaker 9: so you're getting the foul call for the push. As
- 39:54Speaker 9: he's falling out of bounds, he throws the ball behind
- 39:57Speaker 9: his back to stay in the the court of play
- 40:01Speaker 9: as he's falling, so that he can, you know, sort
- 40:03Speaker 9: of catch himself against these fans. And as he's walking
- 40:06Speaker 9: back to either the top of the circle to the
- 40:08Speaker 9: free throw line, this is when he says. You hear
- 40:10Speaker 9: Alex Caruso say that should be a technical yes, and
- 40:13Speaker 9: then a full like four or five seconds later, you
- 40:15Speaker 9: hear the referee blow his whistle and say technical foul.
- 40:18Speaker 9: Not only is that the most ridiculous technical foul I've
- 40:21Speaker 9: ever seen, and who knows, they might rescind that if
- 40:23Speaker 9: they do a little research on that, but later he
- 40:25Speaker 9: got an offensive foul for what was called an unnatural
- 40:28Speaker 9: shooting motion on Alex Caruso of all people, and really
- 40:32Speaker 9: he was just leaning into a shot while trying to
- 40:34Speaker 9: get it was an absolutely natural shooting motion. And on
- 40:37Speaker 9: the other end, I want to say, Shag Gilders, Alexander
- 40:40Speaker 9: gets and one's from unnatural shooting motions. And I believe
- 40:43Speaker 9: chet Holmgrin got the same call from what was an
- 40:46Speaker 9: unnatural shooting motion. And so this is what I was
- 40:49Speaker 9: talking about before the playoffs started, where I don't think
- 40:52Speaker 9: that this sort of favoritism quote unquote of Oklahoma City
- 40:56Speaker 9: can really last throughout the playoffs, especially if people and
- 41:00Speaker 9: standing ovation for Devin Booker, Yes, and any fine that.
- 41:03Speaker 3: He's going to put it out there for everyone.
- 41:04Speaker 9: Yes, people continue to put this out there, and then
- 41:08Speaker 9: you have people for days complaining about it, agreeing with
- 41:11Speaker 9: Devin Booker. I saw a post yes today about I
- 41:15Speaker 9: forget the exact executive, but they're digging. It's somebody at
- 41:18Speaker 9: the head of officials and they're digging through his old
- 41:21Speaker 9: posts where he has like a thunder up hashtag or
- 41:23Speaker 9: he is a Laker fan over here, and it's just like,
- 41:26Speaker 9: this is where it starts to get dangerous when you
- 41:28Speaker 9: have referees doing seemingly favoring one team and giving these
- 41:33Speaker 9: ridiculous calls when they're all just kind of flopping all
- 41:36Speaker 9: over the place and you're not giving it two other teams. Yeah,
- 41:39Speaker 9: this is what's going to happen. And this is why
- 41:41Speaker 9: I don't believe. Okay, see thunder will repeat that Angela
- 41:45Speaker 9: Williams keeps getting hurt.
- 41:46Speaker 1: I have zero issue with Caruso telling the referee it's
- 41:48Speaker 1: a tech and the referee calling it a tech five
- 41:50Speaker 1: seconds later. Sometimes you need a reminder. I mean, that's all,
- 41:54Speaker 1: that's it.
- 41:55Speaker 9: That's fine if it was actually an obvious technical foul, right,
- 41:58Speaker 9: but this is teacher's pet alex career. So this is
- 42:00Speaker 9: a guy who I'd like to watch play. I would
- 42:02Speaker 9: love to have him on my team. But if this
- 42:04Speaker 9: as you've become, if this is who you've become, OTAs Caruso, Yeah,
- 42:07Speaker 9: nobody's gonna like you.
- 42:08Speaker 1: It's Thursday and we haven't thought yet. So do me
- 42:11Speaker 1: a favorite. Iowa Sam hit that image boy going a
- 42:13Speaker 1: lot in.
- 42:16Speaker 2: You know that segment talk about a Tuesday on Hawkman
- 42:19Speaker 2: Crowder in Solero. This is like that, but bigger, bigger
- 42:23Speaker 2: and better, better, better, And forty eight hours later, this
- 42:27Speaker 2: is think about it Thursday.
- 42:32Speaker 10: So tonight, if I go to the Sims house, I'll
- 42:34Speaker 10: watch the draft with Phil and Chris sim Yes, if
- 42:37Speaker 10: you guys could go, If you guys could watch the
- 42:40Speaker 10: NFL Draft, any two former or current NFL players?
- 42:44Speaker 4: Who would you pick?
- 42:45Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say, any two people I'll go to. Uh,
- 42:47Speaker 3: let's go to Dan first. Dan, Do you have one
- 42:49Speaker 3: for us here? Any two people you can watch the

- 42:56Speaker 3: Mike Mayock. I love his NFL mind. I would love
- 43:00Speaker 3: to hear about that. And how about Johnny Manziel. I'm
- 43:04Speaker 3: sure it would be fun. Wo wow, Johnny Football? I mean,
- 43:09Speaker 3: how about that?
- 43:10Speaker 11: Is he?
- 43:11Speaker 3: Todd McShay and Michael Jordan. I learned Jordan.
- 43:17Speaker 9: I didn't know you were going there. I learned a
- 43:19Speaker 9: lot about the NFL. And I can also tell Michael
- 43:21Speaker 9: Jordan why he's the second best player.
- 43:22Speaker 1: Running out of time. I could feel it. I feel
- 43:24Speaker 1: the pressure. I was, Sam, you have two people for us,
- 43:26Speaker 1: Jesus make it short.
- 43:28Speaker 13: Two tight end NFL party boys George Kittle and Rob Gronkowski.
- 43:34Speaker 3: All right, thank you.
- 43:35Speaker 1: I'm hesitant to go to anyone else before I say
