2:08
Speaker 4: it's gonna be fun and it is. Listen, adversity brings
2:11
Speaker 4: the best out of people, Drew, and this daylight savings
2:14
Speaker 4: I have a feeling might even bring the best out
2:16
Speaker 4: of this show, which people are already saying in its
2:19
Speaker 4: first two months of infancy, Yes, best show.
2:21
Speaker 3: In the city. So that's a fun way. Let's go,
2:23
Speaker 3: let's get it. Let's start our illegal tampering. I've always
2:27
Speaker 3: wanted to legally tamper. It's one of my favorite things,
2:29
Speaker 3: my favorite things. You don't have to worry about, the
2:31
Speaker 3: the you don't have to do it in secret, you
2:33
Speaker 3: don't have to do it the cloak and dagger stuff.
2:35
Speaker 3: We could actually legally tamper beginning to day at noon
2:39
Speaker 3: or I guess yeah, about noon our time.
2:41
Speaker 5: Always wanted about that term, right because like, if it's legal,
2:44
Speaker 5: how is it tampering?
2:45
Speaker 2: Implies negative? You know it does. Is it legal tampering?
2:49
Speaker 5: Like an oxymoron kind of or self redundant kind of?
2:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what it is.
2:53
Speaker 4: It's sexy on the marquee and it is fun to
2:56
Speaker 4: be able to throw on ESPN and on your bottom
2:58
Speaker 4: third all throughout the the day and in the last
3:01
Speaker 4: couple of weeks, and to be able to call it
3:03
Speaker 4: that and also drew. It comes in an even stranger
3:07
Speaker 4: form when Tom Pelasero mentioned yesterday that the NFL just
3:11
Speaker 4: like slyly passed through a change that allows free agent
3:16
Speaker 4: negotiating Window, which opens today at eleven am here in
3:19
Speaker 4: the Central time Zone. For the first time, clubs may
3:21
Speaker 4: conduct one video phone call maximum of one hour with
3:25
Speaker 4: up to five free agents rather than just commuting communicating
3:29
Speaker 4: through their agents during this.
3:31
Speaker 2: Time so core press. So what that means is it's
3:33
Speaker 2: free agency.
3:34
Speaker 4: Okay, But I do like the fact that they want
3:36
Speaker 4: it to start just to tick early so we can
3:39
Speaker 4: get all of our business in order, so we really
3:42
Speaker 4: can let everything ride on Wednesday. This is a work smarter,
3:46
Speaker 4: not harder deal. And then the NFL is like, wait,
3:48
Speaker 4: we can sell it. That's even better for us, even better.
3:51
Speaker 3: How about the packers making some news over the weekend
3:54
Speaker 3: couple of a couple of ones that made you go
3:56
Speaker 3: really somewhere weird Goby Wooden for his I hear Franklin.
4:02
Speaker 3: Now that to me, the first thing I thought was, well,
4:05
Speaker 3: I had two instant thoughts, a Riveder chikway Walker, so yeah,
4:10
Speaker 3: peace yep, he ain't coming like that? Yeah, would be
4:12
Speaker 3: the move to replace him right at half the price
4:15
Speaker 3: at Quay is going to Command and getting a veteran guy.
4:19
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, And then Kobe, wouldn't you took
4:22
Speaker 3: a position of pretty deep need and made it a
4:25
Speaker 3: position of even deeper need. One might even say crisis
4:28
Speaker 3: on the defensive line.
4:30
Speaker 4: But it's clearly one that's different and maybe Drew I
4:34
Speaker 4: think the biggest part about the Wooden deal. I wonder
4:36
Speaker 4: if he's just not what Gannon is looking for up front, right,
4:40
Speaker 4: and he walks into his last year somebody you didn't
4:42
Speaker 4: want to resign and he gets somebody in Franklin who
4:46
Speaker 4: two years ago was one of the highest paid guys
4:49
Speaker 4: off ball linebackers in football. Now, like you just mentioned,
4:52
Speaker 4: is going to come in at like half the price
4:54
Speaker 4: and in all reality could be moved off of like
4:57
Speaker 4: you could add some competition. And it solidified the one
5:02
Speaker 4: part as well that last year we saw pieces of
5:05
Speaker 4: but not full fruition. This defense is gonna be predicated
5:09
Speaker 4: upon Edrin Cooper becoming a star, and they want somebody
5:12
Speaker 4: who has seen everything alongside of him. Hey, he's gonna
5:16
Speaker 4: call the defense. You just go be you, and that's
5:18
Speaker 4: gonna be that. It's a double down. It felt like
5:21
Speaker 4: as well on Edrin Cooper of saying we know he's
5:24
Speaker 4: got the talent, we just need somebody to stabilize alongside
5:26
Speaker 4: of him.
5:26
Speaker 3: We talked about Kobe woodn't a lot on Packer's ot
5:29
Speaker 3: and to him Candless plug yeah, and to him and
5:32
Speaker 3: he was, you know, he was very productive. He showed
5:35
Speaker 3: up arguably like their best guy against the run, wouldn't
5:40
Speaker 3: you say?
5:40
Speaker 2: I mean up there? It also feels like he's a guy.
5:43
Speaker 5: Tell me if I thaton was taking a guy that
5:45
Speaker 5: Micah mentioned a lot. I know he mentioned yeah why
5:47
Speaker 5: all the time.
5:48
Speaker 3: Yeah he did, so, I don't know if that that's interesting,
5:51
Speaker 3: But Micah seems pretty j just about the Zion Franklin. Franklin,
5:54
Speaker 3: he's gonna be jazzed anything. Had two years ago led
5:57
Speaker 3: the League of tackles, and then he had a down year.
5:59
Speaker 3: So you're getting a guy kind of at a low tide.
6:01
Speaker 3: And for some reason, I guess Colts fans were mad
6:04
Speaker 3: at him a lot, like for the underperforming of the
6:07
Speaker 3: defense in general. We were afraid this is a guy here,
6:10
Speaker 3: like how do you get that arc where it's he
6:12
Speaker 3: was a seventh round pick, becomes an All Pro captain,
6:17
Speaker 3: love him, Leeds League tackles, and then you sour on
6:19
Speaker 3: him in a year to where it's like, oh what
6:21
Speaker 3: the hell now, he talks on podcast.
6:23
Speaker 4: I was gonna say two things, podcasts and guaranteed money.
6:26
Speaker 5: Say like, it's almost like in a way Devandre Campbell's situation, right,
6:30
Speaker 5: he kind of was a scrappy guy, had a great
6:32
Speaker 5: a pro year for the Packers, and then Packers fans
6:34
Speaker 5: s ound on him quick when the performance and the
6:37
Speaker 5: you know, the option.
6:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, but a much more vested interest in like the
6:40
Speaker 4: city and the team, and like you would think the
6:42
Speaker 4: fans would have more of a best interest in him
6:44
Speaker 4: instead of the mercenary Like you know, Campbell comes over
6:47
Speaker 4: last year of his or one year deal. But for
6:50
Speaker 4: Franklin too, I wonder, Drew if it's one of the
6:54
Speaker 4: things that we're seeing and you just mentioned it anytime
6:56
Speaker 4: that players become a little bit more vocal and.
6:59
Speaker 2: Things don't go right. Ah, we don't like that as
7:02
Speaker 2: much at all.
7:03
Speaker 4: And everything slid for the Colts at the back end
7:06
Speaker 4: of the year and they were relying on that defense
7:09
Speaker 4: a ton and they weren't able to do it. His
7:10
Speaker 4: film in twenty twenty four is phenomenal, but I wonder
7:13
Speaker 4: how much of it was. I think there was a podcast.
7:16
Speaker 4: I think there was a little bit of a scrap
7:17
Speaker 4: with McAfee last year. At one particular point in time, it's.
7:20
Speaker 2: Like, I I'd appreciate.
7:23
Speaker 4: A little bit of Figger, a little bit of uh
7:26
Speaker 4: fire that he's going to be able to show on them.
7:27
Speaker 2: You know, fans don't watch it him make money and
7:29
Speaker 2: do or talk on podcasts. We're not playing, all right.
7:31
Speaker 3: So then other thoughts that drifted through when you heard
7:34
Speaker 3: about that trade as all right, well we got a
7:35
Speaker 3: zaire and now how many times am I gonna call
7:37
Speaker 3: him jay ere jaiyr for sure Zay.
7:40
Speaker 2: We've had success bringing in Zis before was Zadarius?
7:43
Speaker 5: Well kind of call him Za. I mean we called
7:44
Speaker 5: JayR Ja and I want to call him Za. But
7:47
Speaker 5: Za's changed meetings totally different. We've gone through that. When
7:50
Speaker 5: I was in college, it was awesome, let's go get
7:52
Speaker 5: some Za. Now it's a different deal, so I didn't know.
7:54
Speaker 4: Still still awesome, just in a different Okay, you're probably not.
7:57
Speaker 2: In the same way of saying it, not the same thing.
7:59
Speaker 3: So then all right, so Kobe wouldn't gone a year
8:03
Speaker 3: after Kenny Clark gone, and it's like, okay, well that
8:06
Speaker 3: that now becomes a huge need. It was already at
8:09
Speaker 3: the top of the list, and now it's even like
8:11
Speaker 3: more at the top of the It was.
8:12
Speaker 4: So as apparently I was floating around yesterday and entered
8:16
Speaker 4: Jalen Carter, right, well, that was really interesting.
8:19
Speaker 6: Now and then that's the thing, and then that's the
8:23
Speaker 6: other thing, is that now Goody has got to do
8:27
Speaker 6: a pivot because mister draft.
8:29
Speaker 3: And develop and have the youngest team in the league
8:31
Speaker 3: is now going to plug some holes with some older dudes.
8:34
Speaker 2: And the Zire Franklin thing.
8:36
Speaker 3: It makes a lot of sense, especially with a new
8:39
Speaker 3: with Jonathan Gannon you mentioned, But is it a paradigm
8:42
Speaker 3: shift where we now we've got to go get some
8:44
Speaker 3: guys north of thirty that we normally wouldn't traffic in
8:47
Speaker 3: in Green Bay. We got to go plug some holes
8:50
Speaker 3: with guys that you can count on, Like the kind
8:51
Speaker 3: of Aaron Banks was a little bit of that, right,
8:53
Speaker 3: Aaron Banks was absolutely a part of that, part of that.
8:56
Speaker 3: And so now and I guess you know Jacobs was
8:59
Speaker 3: still still so yep, yeah, he was south of thirty
9:04
Speaker 3: when they may move X was kind of young too.
9:06
Speaker 2: They were like kind of veterans, second contract guys played. Yeah.
9:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, But now it's like Okay, all bets are off,
9:13
Speaker 3: and now we might go get some grizzled guys and
9:16
Speaker 3: like not be the youngest team in the league, and like,
9:18
Speaker 3: you know, that's how your Franklin is gonna take. You
9:22
Speaker 3: would think that he's going to take Edrin Cooper under
9:24
Speaker 3: his wing and it has to has to and and
9:27
Speaker 3: be a good locker room guy. You hear good things
9:29
Speaker 3: about him aside from the podcast, and the things went sour.
9:32
Speaker 3: But they got a new defensive coordinator in Indie last year,
9:35
Speaker 3: and if the guy doesn't mesh, and now you're going
9:38
Speaker 3: to a place where you're wanted coveted, it's gonna be
9:42
Speaker 3: a new lease on life. So the fact that he
9:43
Speaker 3: was I don't put a lot into that Pro Football
9:46
Speaker 3: Focus grades and stuff that a lot of people do
9:47
Speaker 3: put us like, all right, so he had a down
9:49
Speaker 3: year compared to the year before, Well that happens a
9:51
Speaker 3: lot in sports. If you play ten years, you're gonna
9:53
Speaker 3: ride the waves, if you're gonna have talked to athletes
9:55
Speaker 3: over the years, and then you play a long time,
9:57
Speaker 3: you're gonna have years where you just suck and nothing
10:00
Speaker 3: your way.
10:00
Speaker 5: And Kobe would hit a wall last year. So it
10:02
Speaker 5: depends how you love. It's also I guess that's the
10:05
Speaker 5: reason you get a guy like Zay Year. Maybe the
10:07
Speaker 5: values there because he had the down yere you know,
10:09
Speaker 5: he had another great year. You might not have had it,
10:11
Speaker 5: but yeah, really good PFF grade since twenty two. But
10:14
Speaker 5: as you mentioned, there's some trend downward, but who knows.
10:16
Speaker 5: The changes scenery could help. That happens a lot, you know,
10:19
Speaker 5: and they might revert to some point.
10:21
Speaker 2: I think.
10:21
Speaker 3: I think on balance, it looks like it's going to
10:24
Speaker 3: be a good move, but again you're creating an even
10:26
Speaker 3: deeper problem at defensive.
10:28
Speaker 4: Tackle, bigger void, and that's why I think maybe you're
10:30
Speaker 4: seeing a shift, right, Maybe you're seeing a little bit
10:32
Speaker 4: of a physicality shift, a size shift that they want
10:35
Speaker 4: there and wouldn't packed on some weight last year, right.
10:38
Speaker 4: I think he said that he gained like fifteen pounds
10:39
Speaker 4: to try to become a little bit more stout against
10:42
Speaker 4: the run. And Dannon his time in Indy overlaps with Franklin,
10:48
Speaker 4: same defense. Obviously gonna be some familiarity, but I think
10:52
Speaker 4: Gannon was in the secondary and obviously not in the
10:55
Speaker 4: linebacker room, so there might be some cohesion there and
10:59
Speaker 4: you know, apps makes the heartcrow fonder, and maybe you
11:01
Speaker 4: think that there could be some some wistful moments from
11:04
Speaker 4: when they knew each other four or five years ago.
11:06
Speaker 4: I think the almighty pro football focus also doesn't like tackles,
11:09
Speaker 4: you know, like they don't like they don't like certain
11:11
Speaker 4: counting stats.
11:12
Speaker 2: Right, And when you do have an one hundred.
11:15
Speaker 4: And seventy six tackles in twenty twenty four and you
11:18
Speaker 4: slide down by fifty, there's gonna be questions. There's gonna
11:21
Speaker 4: be a regression again, the tapes not as good in
11:23
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five as it was in twenty four. But
11:25
Speaker 4: I also think this is interesting, and sure you mentioned
11:27
Speaker 4: it adding some vets. I think there's a large portion
11:30
Speaker 4: of Packers fans that we talked to on Packers OT
11:34
Speaker 4: that had asked for this quite a bit during the
11:36
Speaker 4: office or during the regular season, right and during the year, wondering,
11:40
Speaker 4: first off, when does that become no longer a part
11:43
Speaker 4: of the lexicon, When do we stop talking about always
11:45
Speaker 4: being the youngest team in the league, And maybe after
11:48
Speaker 4: three years being the seventh seed, the little bit of
11:51
Speaker 4: a shift was saying maybe we do need to get
11:53
Speaker 4: a little bit older, maybe we do need to be
11:55
Speaker 4: a little bit more experienced, And I don't know one
11:59
Speaker 4: way is definitely for sure better than the other. But
12:03
Speaker 4: I know that just expecting the same results and doing
12:06
Speaker 4: the exact same thing is is kind of insane. So
12:09
Speaker 4: I appreciate that there's a little bit of a shift.
12:12
Speaker 4: I would be interested to see though, where the Packers
12:14
Speaker 4: go from here after with the defensive line, because that
12:17
Speaker 4: seems like a market that is somewhat capping, like where
12:21
Speaker 4: we've seen where the numbers are gonna be. And then
12:25
Speaker 4: on the other side of the ball, in the other
12:26
Speaker 4: move that they made this weekend on the offensive line,
12:30
Speaker 4: kind of a projection in the other side where they
12:32
Speaker 4: might be realizing that the market is flying upwards and
12:35
Speaker 4: trying to get some cost certainty with that Sean Ryan
12:38
Speaker 4: deal at three years and thirty three million, Yeah.
12:40
Speaker 2: How about that?
12:40
Speaker 3: Like he went from telling people in October, I'm out
12:44
Speaker 3: of here, it's gonna it's been nice, but I'm looking
12:46
Speaker 3: at my next spot when he was, you know, yanked
12:48
Speaker 3: out of guard, then Elton Jacobs going he moves over,
12:51
Speaker 3: starts snapping the ball and gets a three year, thirty
12:53
Speaker 3: three million dollar contract to stay in Green Bay where
12:56
Speaker 3: he thought he was gonna.
12:57
Speaker 4: Have to move, saves his career, and also in the
13:01
Speaker 4: same breath, somewhat as the snap, he goes zero snaps
13:06
Speaker 4: on October twenty third against the Cardinals, says, if you
13:08
Speaker 4: just look at what we've got on the line, I
13:11
Speaker 4: probably won't be back here. I don't know, but right
13:13
Speaker 4: now it doesn't look good. Flips the center as you mentioned,
13:16
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, seven games later, gets
13:18
Speaker 4: the extension. But we've talked so much about Tyler Lindebaum's name,
13:22
Speaker 4: and at eleven o'clock or eleven ozh six, when the
13:25
Speaker 4: deal is somehow fully negotiated completely in just six minutes,
13:29
Speaker 4: I think we might see a number that nobody is
13:32
Speaker 4: expecting right like where it's closer to twenty five million
13:36
Speaker 4: potentially plus than twenty And the Packers saw Connor McGovern
13:41
Speaker 4: just get a pretty size ley deal with the Buffalo Bills,
13:45
Speaker 4: kind of a replaceable offensive lineman. And it speaks to
13:49
Speaker 4: that the position is just down across the league, and
13:52
Speaker 4: people have seen that if you get guys that have
13:55
Speaker 4: played in the NFL for a number of years, you
13:58
Speaker 4: can do some things with that other than players that
14:01
Speaker 4: are coming in fresh out of college where you probably
14:03
Speaker 4: haven't been developed as much as you would in years past.
14:07
Speaker 4: The Ryan one, he kind of gets almost the same
14:10
Speaker 4: deal Drew too. That two years ago John Runyon got
14:13
Speaker 4: where we're like, whoa, yeah, that's interest year is thirty million,
14:16
Speaker 4: and and I think the Packers looked, okay, one million
14:19
Speaker 4: more for that. We know this guy w you know,
14:22
Speaker 4: might be a little bit better than Devil you don't know,
14:24
Speaker 4: and they might have learned that last year with Aaron Baky.
14:26
Speaker 5: It is so interesting a lot of this, you know,
14:28
Speaker 5: it's more than just going after good players and getting
14:32
Speaker 5: them and signing them. It's an analysis. It's a market
14:36
Speaker 5: analysis on position value more than anything. And that's what's
14:38
Speaker 5: so interesting about this time of year, not just to
14:40
Speaker 5: see what players go where, and that's always exciting, what
14:43
Speaker 5: players are in new uniforms, but how the football, the
14:45
Speaker 5: NFL community, how the industry, how gms kind of value
14:49
Speaker 5: different positions and value because the proof is in the
14:51
Speaker 5: pudding now when that comes out, when the numbers come out,
14:54
Speaker 5: it's kind of the same and that it was in
14:56
Speaker 5: the NFL draft for many years where you finally had
14:59
Speaker 5: you know, know, GMS would tell their truth on on
15:02
Speaker 5: certain guys in certain positions based on where they would
15:05
Speaker 5: draft them. Right, That's how we first learned love tackles
15:07
Speaker 5: are valuable because they were getting drafted higher and higher,
15:09
Speaker 5: and it's one way to tell how people feel about
15:11
Speaker 5: the position and feel about the value. So it's pretty
15:15
Speaker 5: interesting in that regard. And to your point, Billy, I
15:17
Speaker 5: think this is another example. One thing I do like
15:19
Speaker 5: about Tier Franklin. I don't know what he's gonna be,
15:21
Speaker 5: but eight years, only miss one game. The dependability is nice.
15:26
Speaker 5: Packers have had problems with consistency, stability, with health and
15:29
Speaker 5: things like that.
15:30
Speaker 2: You don't know what's going to happen. Obviously, this is
15:31
Speaker 2: the NFL.
15:32
Speaker 5: Injuries can happen anytime, but it is nice to have
15:34
Speaker 5: a guy that is available and dependable as well.
15:37
Speaker 2: That is positive one of the big things.
15:39
Speaker 3: And then as you look at now again the roster
15:41
Speaker 3: and the glaring hole at defensive tackle, part of that
15:44
Speaker 3: is predicated on what we mentioned on Packer's ot and
15:47
Speaker 3: I think is one of the undercovered, undernoticed stories with
15:51
Speaker 3: the Green Bay Packers is the lack of availability of
15:53
Speaker 3: DeVante Wyatt. Yeah, people get so mad at Christian Watson
15:57
Speaker 3: because that's a high profile, glamour glitz position. That guy's soft,
15:59
Speaker 3: he's out, he's heard he's a hamstring away from being
16:01
Speaker 3: on the aisle. Yeah, well, devontey why it's played like
16:05
Speaker 3: like half the snaps that he should be playing and
16:08
Speaker 3: he what seven eight games?
16:10
Speaker 4: You're probably the most legitimate of those, like the most
16:12
Speaker 4: like catastrophic of the injuries, right, They're the one that
16:15
Speaker 4: was didn't feel like a soft tissue injury that might
16:18
Speaker 4: be a little bit more preventable.
16:20
Speaker 2: And he's he's produced me, he's been on the field.
16:22
Speaker 3: Drew his track field is like totally undercover because that's
16:26
Speaker 3: a high pick that like, you're not getting production because
16:29
Speaker 3: of injuries.
16:30
Speaker 2: We make the club in the tub, and he's been
16:32
Speaker 2: in the tub a lot.
16:33
Speaker 4: And for whatever reason, I wonder if that specific year
16:37
Speaker 4: that you're you're ultimately going to see a pretty damning
16:41
Speaker 4: moment here at eleven o'clock, right, because DeVante Wyatt does
16:44
Speaker 4: not have a deal and kway Walker is going to
16:48
Speaker 4: hit free agency.
16:49
Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong.
16:50
Speaker 4: The two first round picks that you get in twenty
16:52
Speaker 4: twenty two after you trade Devonte Adams in a year
16:55
Speaker 4: in which you don't have a first round pick. That
16:57
Speaker 4: might be the exact reason why Michah Parsons was it
17:00
Speaker 4: was traded for YEP, because I can give away two
17:03
Speaker 4: first round picks. We just did in twenty twenty two.
17:05
Speaker 4: And while we really like the production that both of them,
17:08
Speaker 4: of them have given us, neither of them we feel
17:11
Speaker 4: very confident in at this moment. I think we obviously
17:14
Speaker 4: like a lot more of what we've seen from Wyatt.
17:16
Speaker 4: We feel like there have been flashes, but it flashes
17:19
Speaker 4: don't necessarily get you paid top of the market, and
17:21
Speaker 4: that's what the goal of a first round pick is,
17:24
Speaker 4: to sign them to a second contract.
17:26
Speaker 2: YEP, and the Packers have been waiting.
17:28
Speaker 4: To find a first round pick, especially on the defensive side,
17:31
Speaker 4: to give that too. And another year apparently is gonna
17:33
Speaker 4: go by where they're not going.
17:34
Speaker 3: To another miss well sort of you know that goes
17:38
Speaker 3: to then it gets into like kuway Walker. We've talked
17:41
Speaker 3: a lot about kway Walker, but like then it gets
17:43
Speaker 3: into the whole. There's something about Packers linebackers a Jhawk,
17:46
Speaker 3: Blake Martinez, Guys that are solid and show up aren't
17:49
Speaker 3: good enough right because of where they're drafted and the
17:52
Speaker 3: expectations and Quay was drafted high and like didn't have
17:57
Speaker 3: the splashy effect.
17:58
Speaker 2: Part of that was scheme. He was amstrung by, you know,
18:01
Speaker 2: doing his job.
18:02
Speaker 3: Wasn't meant to be flashy in the you know, the
18:05
Speaker 3: lunch pale role they kind of gave him, and he did,
18:08
Speaker 3: you know, the athleticisms there just never popped like.
18:11
Speaker 5: Everybody expect even to, like I'm going back to like
18:14
Speaker 5: Nick Barnett, that's out with some people.
18:16
Speaker 3: Another guy you know, which had probably more.
18:20
Speaker 5: Just like if you ever depending on who you ask,
18:22
Speaker 5: a J Hawk was one of the most solid backers
18:24
Speaker 5: you're going to ever have.
18:25
Speaker 4: But people they're all time leading tax or something to
18:27
Speaker 4: being the all time leading tackler.
18:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, again when.
18:30
Speaker 3: You're getting available and playing on totally leader solid.
18:33
Speaker 2: Less cash to stay on a super Bowl team. But
18:37
Speaker 2: again though.
18:37
Speaker 5: Absolutely, but when you're giving that, you know that that
18:40
Speaker 5: number of selection, when you're number five, when you do
18:42
Speaker 5: all the when you're drafted that high, it's always comes
18:45
Speaker 5: with that. Just like when you mentioned, uh, you know,
18:47
Speaker 5: when guys start making money, there's an expectation when you're
18:49
Speaker 5: drafted a certain placers expectation. That's just the way it goes,
18:52
Speaker 5: which does make it interesting when you talk about tire
18:54
Speaker 5: based sentence around her, because like the expected, but the
18:57
Speaker 5: expectations have changed in those things. And you know, you
18:59
Speaker 5: certain his name in Twitter and you see what Colts
19:01
Speaker 5: fans it said during the year. It's but then again,
19:04
Speaker 5: this is rubberge sales season two as well as like
19:06
Speaker 5: what's hot in the market, it's also like what can
19:08
Speaker 5: I give the others?
19:09
Speaker 2: My trash is your treasure of vice versa.
19:11
Speaker 4: Well, and the other part is and this will be
19:13
Speaker 4: the interesting lens that you view him through and how
19:15
Speaker 4: Colts fans did they had now seen him as being
19:19
Speaker 4: awesome and as an all pro, and then when you
19:21
Speaker 4: don't play at that exact level.
19:23
Speaker 2: There's gonna be questions.
19:24
Speaker 4: I think Packers fans that the expectations will be different,
19:27
Speaker 4: you would think, or maybe they are expecting the forty
19:31
Speaker 4: four to run out there and all of a sudden
19:33
Speaker 4: be a reincarnation of his all pro self, and hopefully
19:36
Speaker 4: he becomes a little bit closer to it.
19:38
Speaker 2: I think the Ganon defensive shift, though drew the scheme.
19:42
Speaker 4: The four to three fit might not be different, but
19:46
Speaker 4: the kind of guy they need might be a little
19:48
Speaker 4: bit different on the defensive line, and it's just also
19:52
Speaker 4: clear the way even more, maybe more incentivize a certain
19:57
Speaker 4: Walter Payton Man of the Year free agent, also try
20:00
Speaker 4: a new place with his defensive coordinator. Head coach from
20:03
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, klays Campbell, A wide open
20:06
Speaker 4: spot for you, ran Let's manifest wide open spot for
20:09
Speaker 4: you right now, ninety three, come on over, let's figure
20:11
Speaker 4: this thing out.
20:12
Speaker 3: Just had a transaction this morning, the Breaking News Banner
20:16
Speaker 3: Texans and Guard at Ingram agreed three year, thirty seven
20:20
Speaker 3: point five million, keep him in Houston, top guard off
20:23
Speaker 3: the market so early, you know, twelve and a half
20:27
Speaker 3: aav like, that's what Sean Ryan's in that market, and
20:31
Speaker 3: so the packers are reading the room and like, well,
20:34
Speaker 3: Sewn Ryan.
20:35
Speaker 2: We like him enough.
20:36
Speaker 3: He's a brawler, He's got some positional versatility. If he
20:39
Speaker 3: needs to be our center, he did it at the
20:40
Speaker 3: end of last year. Comfortable with Jordan Love. If he
20:43
Speaker 3: needs to slide around, we can do that. It's a
20:45
Speaker 3: little bit of like you said, cost certainty and like
20:47
Speaker 3: the devil, you know.
20:48
Speaker 4: Feels like the deadline spur action thing happens obviously in deadlines,
20:53
Speaker 4: trade deadline season, free agency one five. When last call
20:58
Speaker 4: gets hit, you start thinking about what's what's comfortable, What
21:00
Speaker 4: have you known, what have you seen before?
21:02
Speaker 2: Well, we know what John Ryan can do.
21:04
Speaker 4: It might there might be some limitations, Drew, but you're right,
21:07
Speaker 4: we know that this one's comfortable, and uh that you're
21:09
Speaker 4: not going to go home empty handed because that might
21:12
Speaker 4: happen once this free agency is window starts going.
21:14
Speaker 2: So we're looking.
21:15
Speaker 3: Right now today Morgan Banks, Ryan Belton, Tom.
21:23
Speaker 2: Yes, and No.
21:25
Speaker 4: I I still don't know that this guarantees that Sean
21:28
Speaker 4: Ryan's the starting center, like, because I think it opens
21:30
Speaker 4: up a lot of a lot of whole a lot
21:32
Speaker 4: of the tray guy in the draft. For sure, they
21:35
Speaker 4: might draft somebody, But that's absolutely what you're looking at
21:38
Speaker 4: right That's the.
21:38
Speaker 2: Fourth day you had a game today, that's where you'd be.
21:41
Speaker 2: That's where you're starting up.
21:42
Speaker 4: And then you got five guys that know the offense
21:45
Speaker 4: and that might be a little bit more continuity than
21:47
Speaker 4: everybody else in the North is playing with. When you
21:50
Speaker 4: start looking at their musical chairs up front, fire up your.
21:53
Speaker 2: Game balls and kicks the balls.
21:54
Speaker 3: We'll get after that at six o'clock, some really good
21:57
Speaker 3: hoops and then the Bucks had to soil themselves last
21:59
Speaker 3: night with thirty nine point lost, one of the worst
22:01
Speaker 3: losses at home in franchise history.
22:02
Speaker 2: It's been excruciating. How many times have we done that?
22:06
Speaker 2: Have have you said that about a bus losses? Can
22:09
Speaker 2: you run? It seems like every game?
22:12
Speaker 3: And then yeah, with no Jannis, no KPg, no chance
22:15
Speaker 3: for the Bucks last night.
22:16
Speaker 2: We'll discuss as we move forward.
22:20
Speaker 3: We got some International World Baseball Classic on the.
22:23
Speaker 2: TVs, keeping us warm.
22:24
Speaker 3: Get yourself a comfortable chair and a colder hot beverage
22:26
Speaker 3: of your choice, and strap in. It's the Monday edition
22:29
Speaker 3: of the Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. We are huddling
22:36
Speaker 3: up Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin for you early birds, insomniacs,
22:40
Speaker 3: and fans of daylight saving time.
22:45
Speaker 2: Out there.
22:46
Speaker 3: I can't say that I am of them. It's it
22:49
Speaker 3: is what it is. I do like those I do,
22:52
Speaker 3: like the the gloaming, the twilight of summer.
22:54
Speaker 2: I was seven o'clock sunset, Yes, I felt that was nice.
22:59
Speaker 5: It was nice at the sun wasn't down before I
23:01
Speaker 5: you know, yeah, whatever it is, you know, h or dinner,
23:03
Speaker 5: whatever it is it was nice, the sun was out.
23:06
Speaker 5: But man, changing the clocks, man, I mean I've had
23:09
Speaker 5: to fit, you know, changing every clock, trying to figure
23:11
Speaker 5: out where the hours is, where the thing is. I
23:13
Speaker 5: was like, this is why, and one says yeah, but
23:16
Speaker 5: that's why I don't even bother sometimes. That's why I
23:18
Speaker 5: left the left the uh the clock in my car
23:21
Speaker 5: this whole time.
23:22
Speaker 2: So now it's finally correct. Are you proud of that?
23:24
Speaker 2: I'm not.
23:25
Speaker 4: It sounds like you're quite proud of the fact that
23:27
Speaker 4: you'll just chill with the clocks, not change.
23:29
Speaker 5: Listen, my microwave did not need to know what our
23:32
Speaker 5: month and day, not our what month, day and year.
23:35
Speaker 3: It was Okay, it's all what about the car that's
23:38
Speaker 3: the one is? Yeah, it's one left, yeah, but I
23:42
Speaker 3: mean twelve?
23:45
Speaker 5: Yeah. Why why I don't need the I can get
23:48
Speaker 5: the time anywhere now. I don't need to. I don't
23:50
Speaker 5: need the coffee maker to give me the time.
23:52
Speaker 4: So like, when the power goes out, do you change
23:54
Speaker 4: the clocks if or do you just let them blink in?
23:56
Speaker 5: Well, chill, if the power goes out, they're blinking twelve.
23:59
Speaker 5: I can't have that right, so I eventually change all
24:02
Speaker 5: the clocks. My point is, it's just it's an annoying
24:05
Speaker 5: endeavor to go. I'm like, oh, here's another clock. I
24:07
Speaker 5: gotta figure out. You know, it's just I don't know.
24:10
Speaker 5: Maybe it's just clock do you have in the house.
24:13
Speaker 4: I like that, Yeah, I mean I think that's the
24:15
Speaker 4: that's the one that I'm wondering.
24:17
Speaker 2: How many grandfather clocks do you have to go? Take
24:19
Speaker 2: the change my hand with a dial?
24:22
Speaker 5: What are we talking about? I gotta call a watchmaker
24:25
Speaker 5: to get there's.
24:26
Speaker 2: An old school kind of we have.
24:30
Speaker 3: It's about the size of a football mini helmet, just
24:32
Speaker 3: an old school clock.
24:33
Speaker 2: It's like a decorative piece.
24:34
Speaker 3: It's like under my TV at my house and I
24:37
Speaker 3: never notice it until yesterday.
24:39
Speaker 2: I noticed that it's an hour off and it's pissing
24:41
Speaker 2: me off.
24:41
Speaker 3: So today I'll probably have to adjust it because I
24:44
Speaker 3: just for some reason was drawn to looking at that thing,
24:46
Speaker 3: and it nagged at me, knowing that it was an
24:48
Speaker 3: hour off and it's right under my TV, which I
24:50
Speaker 3: look at for several hours at a time, like, damn,
24:53
Speaker 3: I'm not to fix that.
24:54
Speaker 5: I will admit this is not a big deal. I mean,
24:56
Speaker 5: this is the epitome of just like a world whining pro.
25:01
Speaker 4: I wish I had a hotter take on it. I
25:03
Speaker 4: just love kneedling at people on both sides. Oh yeah,
25:06
Speaker 4: it's great, but people that love it, there's good holes
25:09
Speaker 4: to pop in that balloon.
25:12
Speaker 2: It helps the farmers.
25:14
Speaker 4: Actually, I don't necessarily know that that's actual, but I
25:17
Speaker 4: appreciate it. I think what it definitely helps is the
25:19
Speaker 4: farmers that get the money off bush lights and the
25:22
Speaker 4: cans that get sold when they bring the corn can out.
25:25
Speaker 2: Like a good point, I think it aids us in
25:27
Speaker 2: the fun time that you end up having during the summertime.
25:31
Speaker 3: Thanks to our AI. Daylight saving time was not created
25:34
Speaker 3: for farmers. In fact, they historically opposed it and found
25:36
Speaker 3: it highly disruptive. Agriculture relies on the sun, not the clock,
25:40
Speaker 3: so jumping forward causes inconvenience such as waiting for morning
25:43
Speaker 3: do to dry for harvest, or needed to milk cows
25:46
Speaker 3: an hour earlier to meet shipping schedules.
25:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I will say this billity to your take
25:50
Speaker 5: about having a hunter take about it. I'm not one
25:52
Speaker 5: of these that's real strong on that we should abolished
25:55
Speaker 5: or we shouldn't abolish. I just like having something to
25:57
Speaker 5: complain about every six months. It's sort of like up players.
26:00
Speaker 5: It's like umpires and baseball, like in a lot of ways,
26:03
Speaker 5: I want to have umpires there with their imperfections so
26:06
Speaker 5: I can complain about it at the game with my
26:08
Speaker 5: peanuts and my beer and be like a you guys
26:10
Speaker 5: stink blew this. Look up who the umpire is and
26:12
Speaker 5: plain about his zone. Look them up on umpire scorecard.
26:15
Speaker 5: But then it's like when they're gone and we actually
26:18
Speaker 5: get it right with the computer system, it's like that
26:20
Speaker 5: kind of takes the fun out of it. Like they
26:22
Speaker 5: if they did get rid of that daylight saving time,
26:24
Speaker 5: what am I gonna complain about?
26:25
Speaker 2: Like you know what I mean something? Yeah, that's true.
26:28
Speaker 2: That's true.
26:28
Speaker 3: That saving was not for farmers. That is again a
26:31
Speaker 3: myth that people thought it was. It's not, and it
26:33
Speaker 3: was implemented in World War One to save energy coal,
26:38
Speaker 3: not to aid farmers and agriculture. And the retailers like it.
26:43
Speaker 3: It's always about the money. Follow the money, for sure.
26:45
Speaker 3: They wanted people out and about and more consumer activity
26:50
Speaker 3: after work because people when the sun goes down, some
26:52
Speaker 3: people are well I'm home now, and other people like it.
26:55
Speaker 2: Kept people out and about longer.
26:57
Speaker 4: And that makes sense because I do. And again maybe
27:00
Speaker 4: I'm just I am a little bit simple in this.
27:02
Speaker 4: I do feel a little bit happier when the sun's out,
27:05
Speaker 4: Like it's a nice thing to have the sunshine throughout
27:07
Speaker 4: the day.
27:07
Speaker 2: It's a psychological thing. But but I.
27:10
Speaker 4: Struggle to really to recognize it all that much, right,
27:13
Speaker 4: like to feel the gravitational pull in the difference. Although
27:18
Speaker 4: maybe now just as a dad, you see it much more.
27:21
Speaker 4: If if cows are struggling with the time change as
27:25
Speaker 4: much as toddlers, I can imagine that farmers probably don't like.
27:28
Speaker 2: Daylight savings because if you're trying to change.
27:31
Speaker 5: Up their schedule, that's what it comes down. Yeah, it's
27:33
Speaker 5: tough for parents of toddlers and stuff like that.
27:36
Speaker 3: Sporting goods manufacturers, people use their bikes more with more daylight.
27:40
Speaker 3: People use you know, golf courses. Squeeze in a couple
27:42
Speaker 3: of more rounds. It's your cash, you know. That's it's
27:45
Speaker 3: all good.
27:46
Speaker 4: And it couldn't have coincided any better yesterday with it
27:48
Speaker 4: ending with it hitting what just close to sixty You
27:51
Speaker 4: mention bikes. That was something that that I had to
27:54
Speaker 4: find out yesterday that the air was not in the
27:56
Speaker 4: tires of the.
27:56
Speaker 1: Bikes, right.
27:57
Speaker 5: I saw people walking around with dogs and bikes. I
27:59
Speaker 5: don't know people, we've been living in the neighborhood as much.
28:01
Speaker 2: I was.
28:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw a couple of my dog owning pals.
28:05
Speaker 3: It's like you start to see them more because it's
28:07
Speaker 3: not so flipping cold and you're going for longer walks,
28:11
Speaker 3: more interaction.
28:12
Speaker 4: I interacted with two with three different groups of strangers.
28:15
Speaker 2: It's that was a good it's a good feeling.
28:17
Speaker 4: It's a good thing, and it's something more make you
28:20
Speaker 4: more social one hundred percent, one hundred percent. And also again,
28:25
Speaker 4: you know, maybe this is just like people are nice
28:28
Speaker 4: out here. I do like I think I think we
28:30
Speaker 4: see too much of the anger and vitrio much.
28:33
Speaker 2: People are still nice.
28:35
Speaker 4: Maybe it's just that we live in Wisconsin and we
28:37
Speaker 4: need to enjoy it even more. I try to tell
28:39
Speaker 4: what you talk about coming out of hibernation, this, this
28:42
Speaker 4: does feel like a little bit of a mixer.
28:44
Speaker 5: We don't have to be afraid of each other. We
28:46
Speaker 5: can be we can connect with each other. We get
28:47
Speaker 5: we're nice people, you know, I mean nine point nine
28:50
Speaker 5: percent of the time, everyone out there.
28:52
Speaker 2: Is is just as nice as you.
28:54
Speaker 5: So trust people pays off more than you think. I
28:56
Speaker 5: try and commit that wak of this? Would you like
28:59
Speaker 5: a driver up there like they're delivering a package, all right,
29:04
Speaker 5: Like it's okay, Like it's okay.
29:05
Speaker 4: So when you give the customary wave like on the
29:08
Speaker 4: walk or everybody.
29:10
Speaker 2: Cars people, people have no idea I'm waving everyone like
29:13
Speaker 2: you get su like why do you have to talk
29:15
Speaker 2: to everybody?
29:15
Speaker 5: Oh? Like she's not like necessarily naturally afraid of people.
29:20
Speaker 5: It's not that, but she's always like just more yes
29:25
Speaker 5: that dateline. She's more confused, like do you really know
29:27
Speaker 5: you know them? I'm like, no, I don't know them,
29:29
Speaker 5: but I might. I might at some point I might
29:32
Speaker 5: know them. Who knows their kids might have a lemonade stand.
29:35
Speaker 5: I might get a better product and a better price
29:37
Speaker 5: just because of me and they because they like me. Now,
29:39
Speaker 5: it's unlikely. That's unlikely. These kids are cranking up those
29:43
Speaker 5: margins now, man, let me tell you the mark them. No,
29:46
Speaker 5: it's exciting. It's exciting people out and about. It means
29:48
Speaker 5: spring is coming. It means we're a little bit closer,
29:50
Speaker 5: the sun's out longer. We like that now it's going
29:53
Speaker 5: to be twenty degrees against on Wednesday.
29:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, so quick card is what it is.
29:57
Speaker 5: But hey, listen, I'm happy, but I do I do
30:00
Speaker 5: get the sense that I'm seeing a little less of
30:02
Speaker 5: the abolish to the daylight savings takes Like then.
30:05
Speaker 3: I usually well and when the car accidents start to
30:07
Speaker 3: hit today to realize, you know, we'll see.
30:10
Speaker 2: Whatever happened to your universal time.
30:13
Speaker 3: I still I'm still down, but I've i've you know,
30:16
Speaker 3: given up on trying to convince people that that would
30:18
Speaker 3: be Uh that was one of your wildest takes, but
30:21
Speaker 3: I didn't mind.
30:21
Speaker 2: Even a wild take. I think it's I think it's fascinating.
30:25
Speaker 3: It will It's just like people like you can't get
30:28
Speaker 3: people to think outside the box at all, well because
30:30
Speaker 3: that we have never done that.
30:31
Speaker 2: When would I eat breakfast? What differences may it be?
30:34
Speaker 3: Instead of calling it if you eat breakfast at seven am,
30:37
Speaker 3: we'll just call it twenty and you'll be fine.
30:40
Speaker 2: Like I pushed back on you did you did?
30:43
Speaker 3: It's like for those if you know, you know, it
30:45
Speaker 3: was a debate years ago, and there are people on
30:47
Speaker 3: my team visionaries, but no one listens to them that
30:50
Speaker 3: they think of all the billions of dollars in traffic
30:53
Speaker 3: snaffoos and meetings that screwed up, And especially my wife
30:57
Speaker 3: does a lot of work where she talks about yeah,
31:00
Speaker 3: and they have to vary there, they have to shift
31:01
Speaker 3: their times and stuff, and you get stuff gets lost
31:04
Speaker 3: in translation. We have found it with guests in different times. Oh,
31:07
Speaker 3: I thought you meant my time, not your time. It's like, well,
31:09
Speaker 3: if it was just one time, it'd be a lot easier,
31:11
Speaker 3: wouldn't it.
31:12
Speaker 2: Everybody was at the same time every time is a thief,
31:14
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah.
31:15
Speaker 3: Indeed, eight seven seven seven nine four ninety seven three,
31:18
Speaker 3: speaking of that, like, how long is that's still our number?
31:21
Speaker 3: I keep waiting for them to tell us, Hey, you
31:23
Speaker 3: got to stop giving out that number.
31:24
Speaker 4: Every time you say it. I kind of give a
31:26
Speaker 4: little bit of a fist pomp. I'm excited. I don't
31:28
Speaker 4: necessarily know. I do believe it's going to be like
31:32
Speaker 4: some things that we found out in in this uh
31:34
Speaker 4: this spot, where it's probably gonna have happened, and then
31:36
Speaker 4: we're gonna wonder why we're not being able to communicate
31:38
Speaker 4: with any of our friends, and then potentially yeah, and.
31:42
Speaker 5: I double checked yet Friday ns. Yes, great, because we're
31:44
Speaker 5: nailing down. You know, our buddy Isaac Miller's gonna call in.
31:48
Speaker 5: You know, I Isaac the new commit for the Badgers.
31:51
Speaker 5: You're trying to call in at seven ten. Had to
31:53
Speaker 5: make sure double check we gave him the right numbers.
31:55
Speaker 3: So there you go, Iron jock ambassador. Yeah, Isaac Miller
31:59
Speaker 3: and to join the program. Three star recruit out of
32:02
Speaker 3: out of Catholic Memorial.
32:03
Speaker 4: Out of CMH playing for Bill Young, going and playing
32:05
Speaker 4: for the Badgers had him. He was at a couple
32:08
Speaker 4: of the at least one of the victories in the
32:10
Speaker 4: month of November. I'm excited to hear how like those
32:12
Speaker 4: last couple of games in the turnaround from the team
32:15
Speaker 4: gives a little bit more optimism. And also just you
32:19
Speaker 4: know what he's throwing up right now because I can
32:21
Speaker 4: I can assume we're right in the prime of weightlifting season,
32:25
Speaker 4: and I bet he is tossing some weights around.
32:27
Speaker 3: He when I spoke to him, kind of like going
32:31
Speaker 3: into the offseason here, he said, he's not playing hoops,
32:35
Speaker 3: He's just working out.
32:36
Speaker 2: I had a feeling I had.
32:37
Speaker 4: I had a feeling he was gonna enjoy himself in
32:39
Speaker 4: the weight room coming.
32:40
Speaker 5: Up, Billy.
32:40
Speaker 2: Can guys make that decision on their own anymore?
32:42
Speaker 5: At this point, once you're locked into a school and
32:44
Speaker 5: all these things and you're committed, are they letting you know, Hey,
32:47
Speaker 5: we don't want you to play basketball, We don't want
32:49
Speaker 5: you to do other things like they like you.
32:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, and and and this is something that I'm very
32:55
Speaker 4: very passionate about.
32:56
Speaker 2: We have a do you have a take on this?
32:57
Speaker 4: And all in all, if any coach tells you that
33:00
Speaker 4: you can't play a game or a sport for them,
33:03
Speaker 4: then they're not the coach for you. If that's something
33:05
Speaker 4: that you definitely want to do because the competitiveness and
33:08
Speaker 4: the things that you learn through playing the other sports.
33:11
Speaker 4: You can get hurt walking down the street, right to
33:13
Speaker 4: invoke Mike Browns, you get hit by a bus. Yeah,
33:16
Speaker 4: But in the midst of it, you can over wear
33:20
Speaker 4: and overwork so many things that as a right and
33:24
Speaker 4: drew as like a new one sport athlete. I don't
33:27
Speaker 4: think that sudden change is really all that great unless
33:30
Speaker 4: it's very very playing and strategically placed out. Like there
33:34
Speaker 4: was a young man at Arrowhead, Jace Gilbert. He was
33:37
Speaker 4: a great basketball player. He played basketball until he was
33:39
Speaker 4: done as a senior because he was one of the
33:41
Speaker 4: best players and went to go play at state and
33:44
Speaker 4: now is playing for the Iowa State Cyclones. I don't
33:46
Speaker 4: think that they cared that he played the next month. Instead,
33:49
Speaker 4: it was probably better like Cooper Catalano played for the Badgers.
33:52
Speaker 4: He played basketball for Germantown Drew until the day he
33:56
Speaker 4: left for spring to leave into the second semester.
34:00
Speaker 3: And I think they dug that as it should be.
34:02
Speaker 3: That's yeah, you're right. The coaches I would be drawn
34:04
Speaker 3: to are the guys that say play other sports. Absolutely,
34:07
Speaker 3: do cross train, give your different muscles, like different mentality, mindset, competitiveness,
34:12
Speaker 3: all that stuff. I remember I was I was sitting
34:14
Speaker 3: in the stands but before I got into coaching with
34:17
Speaker 3: with some of my buddies while they were coaching at
34:18
Speaker 3: Wakshaw North, and there was a young man who just
34:21
Speaker 3: became a All Pro in the NFL, him Ray DK,
34:24
Speaker 3: who was playing safety, wide receiver, kick returner, punt returner
34:29
Speaker 3: and scoring touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams in
34:32
Speaker 3: the game. And I heard somebody say, if I was
34:34
Speaker 3: committed to the Badgers, I don't know that I'd be
34:36
Speaker 3: playing both ways. I don't know that I'd be playing
34:38
Speaker 3: that much. I don't know that i'd want.
34:40
Speaker 4: That might be what separates the ones that then go
34:43
Speaker 4: from Division one to the time that you actually make
34:47
Speaker 4: the game game changing money. So it's it's a it's
34:49
Speaker 4: a difference for everybody. But when you get to have
34:53
Speaker 4: that opportunity to throw the chalk on the hands and
34:55
Speaker 4: really start tossing some weight around, I got a feeling Isaac's.
34:58
Speaker 2: Been waiting for this. Most super social media.
35:00
Speaker 5: I don't know if Isaac's been doing it, but especially
35:01
Speaker 5: for social media these days.
35:03
Speaker 4: Right, no questioninitely for social media. When you're looking that
35:05
Speaker 4: cool we are.
35:07
Speaker 3: We're rolling through a Monday, getting ready for game balls
35:09

Speaker 3: weekend in sports, great weekend in the good Land. I
35:21
Speaker 3: want to hear some first hand reports, perhaps from the
35:24
Speaker 3: survivors of the Shamrock Shuffle that dominated Milwaukee.
35:29
Speaker 4: I saw during the day a grand total drew of
35:31
Speaker 4: one Shamrock Shuffle T shirt at the Admirals State couple.
35:35
Speaker 2: I saw a couple it was hard.
35:36
Speaker 3: They were mixed in with Dropkicks stuff and people wearing
35:38

37:34
Speaker 5: and unbelievably, the win probability was not ninety nine point nine,
37:38
Speaker 5: it was like ninety nine point three. You would think
37:40
Speaker 5: at that point it's ninety nine point nine, forty to ten.
37:44
Speaker 2: You blow a thirty point lead March, you just got up.
37:47
Speaker 5: You're glad that's it, because, I mean, there's nothing to
37:49
Speaker 5: come back from there. You blow a thirty point lead
37:51
Speaker 5: in March. I mean, this is college basketball. There's not
37:54
Speaker 5: that much time. It's not like time is measuring an
37:56
Speaker 5: outs like in baseball. The clock is running. Like, how
37:59
Speaker 5: can you blow a thirty point lead in the Is
38:01

38:12
Speaker 5: Stephen Berry's. It was on the two dollars rec it
38:14
Speaker 5: was on the discount Stephen Barry's. You're talking about Stephen
38:17
Speaker 5: Barry's discount wreck. That was an awesome one. That's the
38:20
Speaker 5: one I played, uh turkey bawling every year because I
38:22
Speaker 5: didn't care for got money.
38:24
Speaker 2: I just saw it. I just actually retweeted at Stephen
38:26
Speaker 2: Berry's tweet this morning. Yeah it was good. One of
38:29
Speaker 2: the times where you don't realize that you're in the
38:31
Speaker 2: good old days deak nostalgia.
38:33
Speaker 4: But as the noted college basketball hater and I'm excited
38:37
Speaker 4: for our friend Brian Butch to talk to us coming
38:40
Speaker 4: up tomorrow.
38:41
Speaker 2: Used to join the program.
38:42
Speaker 4: Yeah uh, and and shoot shoot that down as a bad,
38:45
Speaker 4: bad year to be the NBA guy over the college game,
38:49
Speaker 4: because the college game has been electric over the last
38:53
Speaker 4: month and a half.
38:53
Speaker 2: I mean, these games have been phenomenal.
38:56
Speaker 5: Uh.
38:56
Speaker 2: There have been games all the way down to the wire.
38:59
Speaker 4: I liked is O yesterday even though the game wasn't
39:02
Speaker 4: necessarily all that great. It was kind of a seven
39:04
Speaker 4: point game, ten point game throughout. Obviously they didn't watch
39:08
Speaker 4: the game. They're saying little brother, and wait and watch
39:11
Speaker 4: my team. My team is not the little brother at anybody.
39:14
Speaker 4: I love the feistieds like we're getting some good, good
39:17
Speaker 4: drama going right now in college Who all the things
39:20
Speaker 4: that people were annoyed with over is old they now
39:22
Speaker 4: love it.
39:22
Speaker 2: I feel like it.
39:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, one of one of those guys right here, hand
39:27
Speaker 4: raised in air, despised that gat. Now he's like apparently
39:31
Speaker 4: Brandon Woodruff he's on it just like everything, every complaint
39:35
Speaker 4: is funny.
39:36
Speaker 2: And he's got Grayson Allen playing for him. Oh wait, listen,
39:41
Speaker 2: I don't.
39:41
Speaker 4: I don't agree with that all of this stuff, All
39:43
Speaker 4: of this stuff is for what happened earlier in the year.
39:45
Speaker 4: But that's just what it is. I Tracy Wolfson's standing
39:49
Speaker 4: there on the sidelines. Er, it's like, all right, coach, Yeah,
39:52
Speaker 4: you know he earned that one, right, I think I
39:54
Speaker 4: think he might have earned that one. What's he have
39:56
Speaker 4: like seven or eight trips throughout the year.
39:58
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, we talked about that when the batter's play.
40:00
Speaker 3: Hell of a player, but yeah, he's got the he's
40:03
Speaker 3: got that edge, got that edge. Fears the kid we're
40:06
Speaker 3: talking about.
40:07
Speaker 4: And you know somebody else that that's got the edge,
40:09
Speaker 4: somebody that's got the ed factor, man, Nigel James Junior.
40:13
Speaker 4: I got to be in the in the in the
40:14
Speaker 4: crowd on Saturday now fairly not for Danny Hurley getting
40:19
Speaker 4: getting run out of and.
40:21
Speaker 2: That's gonna come up games and kicks.
40:23
Speaker 4: That's bad that I had to see that on on
40:26
Speaker 4: Twitter on the ride home once I got home situation.
40:30
Speaker 2: Oh that would have been the best part. That was
40:32
Speaker 2: so much so worth it.
40:33
Speaker 3: But it was a phenomenal atmosphere for a Marquette on Saturday.
40:37
Speaker 3: And and so that was part of your double header
40:39
Speaker 3: and we can talk about it because it's there's no
40:40
Speaker 3: im t but media starts with me. But you went
40:42
Speaker 3: to the Marquette game for a little bit and did
40:45
Speaker 3: the lad partake in the contest?
40:47
Speaker 4: Well, that's a that's a good way of putting it, Drew,
40:49
Speaker 4: and that was gonna be as it kicks. Am I
40:53
Speaker 4: am I allowed to do this? Can I get a
40:54
Speaker 4: kick to ball to my ten month old son?
40:56
Speaker 2: Yes? You can, nobody else can?
41:00
Speaker 4: I think I might have to because uh, my man
41:04
Speaker 4: potentially turned around and gave me the kick right to
41:06
Speaker 4: the nads as uh for the diaper race, he just
41:08
Speaker 4: looked back up.
41:09
Speaker 2: At me and was like, where do you think I'm going?
41:12
Speaker 5: For those of you who don't know abilities, that was
41:14
Speaker 5: one of the participants in the crawl diaper race, Crawl.
41:17
Speaker 4: In the diaper to dorm Derby. They did a phenomenal job.
41:21
Speaker 4: Ed Vest put it on with Marquette. It was it
41:23
Speaker 4: was super cool to be a part of uh. But
41:25
Speaker 4: but my youngster was just happy to be there. He
41:28
Speaker 4: we we may have been a little bit taken aback
41:30
Speaker 4: by the lights. Drew may or may not have fully
41:32
Speaker 4: understood that mom was on the other side of the walk.
41:37
Speaker 4: But you also don't necessarily realize. And maybe this is
41:40
Speaker 4: just because I haven't run up and down the court
41:42
Speaker 4: and quite some time. Hey, three point line to mid
41:44
Speaker 4: court a little bit longer than I was expecting, And
41:48
Speaker 4: it feels a little bit longer when you're sitting there
41:50
Speaker 4: Crouch saying, come on, Bud, come on, just waving the phone,
41:53
Speaker 4: waving the toy ring.
41:54
Speaker 3: That distance is full and you're just like that in Vegas.
41:57
Speaker 3: That's right over there, right there, four miles away. I
42:00
Speaker 3: can see it's right there.
42:01
