2:44
Speaker 3: I'm going to love this job bringing his bag on draft.
2:52
Speaker 3: Hey Sanchez, we ready.
2:54
Speaker 7: We had to wait a minute and a half through
2:56
Speaker 7: maybe the dumbest, boringest sports movie of all time.
3:00
Speaker 3: For you to flub it up right there at the end,
3:04
Speaker 3: missed one man other than us telling him, Yeah, that's true.
3:08
Speaker 6: Come on, Arman, right there, Draft Day might have been
3:12
Speaker 6: the last great Hollywood movie. You know, you start thinking
3:14
Speaker 6: about it before the whole industry collapse.
3:16
Speaker 3: H and Riggs can drink the kool aid on that.
3:18
Speaker 4: Great great movie. Kevin Gosa tilted.
3:21
Speaker 3: Speech with the music it it hits.
3:23
Speaker 8: It makes it even worse when you can't see it
3:25
Speaker 8: for some reason, because it's Draft is not good.
3:29
Speaker 4: It is a visual medium.
3:31
Speaker 3: It is not a good movie. I also can't tell,
3:33
Speaker 3: can't lie to you.
3:34
Speaker 7: I've never watched it, like like you're seriously never watched
3:37
Speaker 7: I've seen clips, I've seen parts of it.
3:40
Speaker 3: I think it's ridiculously dumb.
3:41
Speaker 7: But I appreciate how much Arman loves it, and he
3:45
Speaker 7: does think that that could be exactly how war rooms
3:48
Speaker 7: actually go down tonight in the NFL Draft in thirty
3:51
Speaker 7: two different well actually like twenty eight different cities, because
3:56
Speaker 7: there's sixteens going into the tonight without a first round pick.
3:58
Speaker 8: I love it, Like there's some things in there that
4:00
Speaker 8: are just tells like like, who's the GM in Jacksonville. Oh,
4:04
Speaker 8: it's the new kid. Like they're in the meeting and
4:05
Speaker 8: they don't know who the other g Like, Okay, great,
4:08
Speaker 8: I love it. There's there's a moment where what is
4:10
Speaker 8: a movie? There's a moment when Costner's strolling through a
4:13
Speaker 8: locker room and this guy's spotting a guy on the
4:15
Speaker 8: bench and he has to say, how's my favorite strength
4:18
Speaker 8: coach doing? Because, you know, because the uninitiated might not
4:21
Speaker 8: have realized that the guy who was talking to was
4:22
Speaker 8: the strength coach, Like you have to some of the
4:25
Speaker 8: stupid stuff that they have to establish for non football fans.
4:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a movie you have to makes me chuckle. Yeah,
4:32
Speaker 6: it's estensi of disbelief.
4:33
Speaker 3: I mean that's what.
4:34
Speaker 8: Okay, but two sports movies entirely different, two entirely different
4:39
Speaker 8: approaches both.
4:41
Speaker 7: Do you want to call it the best work of
4:43
Speaker 7: American cinema? However, you said the last great Hollywood film?
4:47
Speaker 7: All right, arman, you can watch one movie for the
4:49
Speaker 7: rest of your life, Hoosiers or Draft. Of course, it's
4:52
Speaker 7: my favorite. Draft Day sucks like a shot a favorite gave.
4:56
Speaker 8: You have two sports movies to choose from both featuring
5:00
Speaker 8: Cleveland teams Major League.
5:03
Speaker 6: Just because it's not as good as the greats doesn't
5:05
Speaker 6: mean it was still good. It wasn't still good.
5:07
Speaker 3: It sucks.
5:08
Speaker 4: Just because it's not like Pedro or Randy Johnson doesn't
5:11
Speaker 4: mean it can't.
5:11
Speaker 3: Draft Day sucks.
5:12
Speaker 8: But there are times when I think that when you're
5:15
Speaker 8: watching the draft and you're consuming it, and I'm watching
5:18
Speaker 8: the vomit on the bottom of the screen, the stock
5:20
Speaker 8: tickers and all the stuff that they the bells and
5:23
Speaker 8: whistles and who's on the clock and stuff, and all
5:25
Speaker 8: the information they're trying to jam down your throat, there
5:27
Speaker 8: are times when I do think that I'm watching a
5:29
Speaker 8: simulation or I'm being punked.
5:31
Speaker 3: During the coverage of the draft, I mean, let's just
5:34
Speaker 3: throw this in.
5:34
Speaker 6: Here, let's be honest. I mean, they had to make
5:37
Speaker 6: it interesting because most of the draft is boring. The
5:39
Speaker 6: first round is usually pretty exciting. Our own picks is
5:42
Speaker 6: a team is exciting, that's the thing. But most of
5:44
Speaker 6: the draft is sort of ordinary, which is fine. That's
5:48
Speaker 6: what he's football.
5:49
Speaker 8: For the first time since nineteen eighty six, Packers are
5:52
Speaker 8: entering the draft without a first round pick by the way,
5:55
Speaker 8: if you're just waking up, welcome in the huddle.
5:58
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin nine twenty Milwaukee ten.
6:00
Speaker 8: Seventy metis everywhere in the iHeart up, Drew Arman, Billy
6:03
Speaker 8: and uh, if you know if this, if you're the
6:07
Speaker 8: first time, it's eighty six they go into the draft
6:09
Speaker 8: without a first round pick. But you're pretty much used
6:11
Speaker 8: to snoozing through the first twenty anyway, sure condition to
6:15
Speaker 8: them picking in the back end, the dregs, the the
6:19
Speaker 8: sloppy seconds. If you will love the first round and
6:22
Speaker 8: then it's been a spot where a lot of times
6:25
Speaker 8: the Packers' first round pick, well, that guy could have
6:27
Speaker 8: been a second rounder. Yeah, he's like four or five
6:29
Speaker 8: picks away from being a second round right, just on to.
6:32
Speaker 3: The fringe anyway. Yeah, So it will be different tonight.
6:35
Speaker 3: There will be stories.
6:37
Speaker 8: There will be stories because last year was Chaudure, you know,
6:40
Speaker 8: plummeting on the boards.
6:42
Speaker 3: It'll be something else like that tonight.
6:44
Speaker 8: It's whether it's real and a Shaduur's thing was kind
6:47
Speaker 8: of real, but this was real or concocted?
6:50
Speaker 7: Mm hmm. Well, and we don't know, we don't know
6:52
Speaker 7: who's going to strap a gas mask on tonight and
6:55
Speaker 7: fall themselves from number three to thirteen. Like that's one
6:58
Speaker 7: of the great draft day mysteries. And so are the
7:01
Speaker 7: red flagged medical reports. But we know so much about
7:04
Speaker 7: these guys now drew. They're poked and prodded and publicly
7:08
Speaker 7: humiliated and judged over the last four months, and we
7:12
Speaker 7: try to pull out the worst parts of their game,
7:15
Speaker 7: even though especially the guys that go tonight end up
7:17
Speaker 7: being the best players usually of the draft. Now, the
7:21
Speaker 7: thing is, there's always a common this is either a
7:24
Speaker 7: great draft or it's either.
7:25
Speaker 3: This is an awful draft.
7:27
Speaker 7: This is falling into the ladder where people are believing
7:29
Speaker 7: that there's like, ah, actually maybe twelve first round picks.
7:33
Speaker 7: There's only sixteen players with first round pick grades. There's
7:36
Speaker 7: only seven guys that I believe are blue chick player,
7:39
Speaker 7: blue chip players, whatever it is, we see it year
7:42
Speaker 7: in and year out, there will be Pro Bowlers from
7:45
Speaker 7: day three that nobody had any clue could be that productive.
7:49
Speaker 7: And it's to me as they've continued to shift this
7:53
Speaker 7: and now it is a primetime event in their second
7:56
Speaker 7: biggest tent pole event in the league behind the super Bowl,
8:00
Speaker 7: and kind of bypasses all different games that they have.
8:04
Speaker 7: I hated it at first, but now I really love
8:07
Speaker 7: the three day draw it out. Start it up on Thursday,
8:11
Speaker 7: get us the reaction on Friday, roll it into Friday, Saturday,
8:15
Speaker 7: load up as much as your brain and stomach can take,
8:19
Speaker 7: and on the seventh day we rest. Because when it
8:22
Speaker 7: was crammed in seven rounds in two days, your boy
8:25
Speaker 7: didn't see the light at day. So I appreciate that
8:28
Speaker 7: they're spacing it out, knowing how hunkered in for all
8:30
Speaker 7: two hundred and fifty something picks some NFL fans are
8:33
Speaker 7: ready to be this weekend.
8:34
Speaker 6: It is amazing to think what this event has become
8:36
Speaker 6: in the National Football League. I mean, once upon a
8:38
Speaker 6: time it was just one day or one night of
8:41
Speaker 6: the entire thing. The league met. They stayed up all
8:44
Speaker 6: night to do their draft meeting, to make their selections,
8:48
Speaker 6: and it was almost it almost became like this twenty
8:50
Speaker 6: four hour meeting and then they're like, all right, we're
8:51
Speaker 6: going to stretch this thing out. Of course, now it's
8:53
Speaker 6: a TV event. Of course is now it's one of
8:55
Speaker 6: the biggest things in the world. It's just amazing to
8:57
Speaker 6: think of it. Humble beginnings and what it's become.
9:00
Speaker 8: Yeah, when it used to be by phone, you know,
9:03
Speaker 8: the phone calls, the old selection process, So you're talking
9:07
Speaker 8: about it.
9:07
Speaker 3: When it was at the hotel and they.
9:09
Speaker 6: Met that they just met and you know, in the
9:11
Speaker 6: whatever it was the sixties, the fIF they just met
9:13
Speaker 6: together in the same room, they made their picks. It
9:16
Speaker 6: was one night when and that night just became like
9:19
Speaker 6: one long day basically because they started it in the
9:22
Speaker 6: evening and then they had to go all night, and
9:24
Speaker 6: then they had to go into the wee hours of
9:25
Speaker 6: the morning and into the next day. Just crazy how
9:28
Speaker 6: that just crazy how things evolve and what humble beginnings.
9:31
Speaker 6: It makes you wonder what in sports that doesn't seem
9:34
Speaker 6: like a big thing now will become big in fifty years,
9:37
Speaker 6: things like that, because things always evolved.
9:38
Speaker 4: So just yeah, interesting.
9:41
Speaker 8: Well, and I was going to say NBA Cup w
9:45
Speaker 8: NBA gaining popularity despite people saying, oh, you never know
9:50
Speaker 8: the future.
9:50
Speaker 3: You never know, you know, It's that's true. And the
9:55
Speaker 3: NFL Draft is its own entity.
9:58
Speaker 8: It's we We experienced it last year as much as
10:00
Speaker 8: you can being in the belly of the beast.
10:03
Speaker 7: Well, and that was the thing, like so you guys
10:06
Speaker 7: can speak to those experiences from last year of just
10:09
Speaker 7: how crazy it was there's yesterday. I was watching a
10:13
Speaker 7: lot of the coverages everybody actually started getting to Pittsburgh
10:16
Speaker 7: and realizing, oh my god, it's nice outside. Like there
10:19
Speaker 7: was the big pivot I felt like on Saturday of
10:22
Speaker 7: the folks that thought I'm not going anywhere near that place,
10:26
Speaker 7: and then for the first two days we're like, huh,
10:28
Speaker 7: that looks pretty cool. You know what, I think I
10:30
Speaker 7: am gonna go. I do think the walk up traffic
10:33
Speaker 7: on day three was maybe the best part of it.
10:36
Speaker 7: Tonight feels like the walk up traffic for day one
10:38
Speaker 7: might be because it felt like there was a ground
10:41
Speaker 7: swell of yinsers in the Pittsburgh folks that were like, Hey,
10:44
Speaker 7: I really appreciate that you guys like our city.
10:46
Speaker 3: How about you get the hell out.
10:48
Speaker 7: There's one way into downtown and one way out, and
10:51
Speaker 7: if you're gonna block both of them, no one wants
10:53
Speaker 7: to go. But it was sunny and seventy five there yesterday.
10:56
Speaker 7: I anticipate it's gonna be an awesome crowd going in there.
11:00
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh.
11:00
Speaker 7: It's a football city, it's a football town, so it's
11:02
Speaker 7: gonna show out here tonight. And also the one of
11:06
Speaker 7: my favorite parts of this is you talk about how
11:09
Speaker 7: things develop, things change. Also you can go from a
11:13
Speaker 7: face to a heel, and a heel to a face.
11:15
Speaker 7: Man Roger Goodell will will get booed tonight. He always does, always,
11:19
Speaker 7: but now he has to like bring him up, come on,
11:23
Speaker 7: come on, boomy, because everybody in the crowd looks like, Wow,
11:27
Speaker 7: salary caps over two hundred million, all these games every
11:31
Speaker 7: single night, five different TV partners. Seems like he's probably
11:34
Speaker 7: doing a pretty good job. Hard for me to boo
11:37
Speaker 7: booth the guy that continues to grow the league even
11:39
Speaker 7: more year in and year out and tenfold everyone's investment
11:43
Speaker 7: to a different level than we thought at one point.
11:46
Speaker 7: And there was about five years ago where people said
11:48
Speaker 7: Adam Silver was unanimously the best commissioner in all of sports,
11:51
Speaker 7: and there's a lot of people that say he's the
11:53
Speaker 7: worst in all of sports right now. So it'll it'll
11:55
Speaker 7: turn around. And I'm excited to see Goodell later on tonight.
11:59
Speaker 5: Yeah.
11:59
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And well.
12:00
Speaker 6: Listen, they're gonna get a great weather in Pittsburgh. It
12:02
Speaker 6: is a football time. Like you said, I saw that
12:04
Speaker 6: they're painting over the graffiti. Oh if you guys saw that,
12:06
Speaker 6: they're they're painting and cleaning of the city, So congrats
12:09
Speaker 6: to them.
12:10
Speaker 4: I don't know why they need a draft to do
12:12
Speaker 4: to clean, but it is nice that they're doing that,
12:14
Speaker 4: I guess, so, hey, why not. That's pretty good stuff.
12:16
Speaker 3: So I'm interested tonight.
12:19
Speaker 8: It's I'll be looking for the storylines a year passive
12:21
Speaker 8: observer until the packers are kind of till the second
12:24
Speaker 8: round starts to roll around, right, you're just like, oh, interesting,
12:26
Speaker 8: you know, interesting, and you're looking for those kind of shockers,
12:29
Speaker 8: like there are some usually like mock drafts are made
12:33
Speaker 8: to be mocked, right, and we talk about the folly
12:37
Speaker 8: of somebody with a perfect first round draft card. That's,
12:42
Speaker 8: you know, like trying to thread the needle and have
12:44
Speaker 8: a perfect brackt have a perfect bracket, right, impossible.
12:47
Speaker 3: You just don't know what's gonna happen.
12:49
Speaker 8: But I will be dialed in and my interest will
12:53
Speaker 8: be peaked towards the back end of the draft as
12:55
Speaker 8: it has been, as we've been conditioned by the packers
12:57
Speaker 8: because they usually pick after the twenty twenties. I'll be
13:01
Speaker 8: dialed in because I want to see what happens at
13:04
Speaker 8: number twenty with Dallas holding the pick that they got
13:07
Speaker 8: from the Packers for MIKEL.
13:09
Speaker 5: Parker.
13:09
Speaker 8: If they take with it, yep, if they do, if
13:11
Speaker 8: they do execute it, which they might deal it and
13:13
Speaker 8: they might package it up.
13:14
Speaker 3: But I'll be looking for that pick. Will interest me.
13:16
Speaker 8: And then twenty one is when the Stillers are on
13:19
Speaker 8: the clock, and that'll be the loudest pop of the
13:21
Speaker 8: night in the in the crowd, oh ye will be
13:25
Speaker 8: That'll be huge. And my question is if you're the
13:27
Speaker 8: Steelers and you are you are you slow playing this?
13:30
Speaker 8: There's been some some wafts of smoke out of the
13:34
Speaker 8: chimney about Aaron Rodgers, but I was saying, like, okay,
13:37
Speaker 8: so it's Pittsburgh who's making the pick? Lynn Swan, Terry Bradshaw,
13:42
Speaker 8: somebody from the Steel curtain like that. Or have Aaron
13:44
Speaker 8: Rodgers walk out and say, Hey, Pittsburgh, I'm coming back
13:48
Speaker 8: and here's my newest teammate with the twenty first selection,
13:52
Speaker 8: the Pittsburgh Steelers collect select boom.
13:55
Speaker 7: See and and and and and I think the old
13:58
Speaker 7: quarterback would like to do that. I think he would
14:01
Speaker 7: want to do it in a spot where he knows
14:02
Speaker 7: that it would be a unanimous cheer, And uh, it
14:07
Speaker 7: doesn't seem like from what I'm reading and from what
14:09
Speaker 7: I'm gathering from the Steelers fans drew that they would
14:12
Speaker 7: be uh that they would be popping for Aaron Rodgers.
14:15
Speaker 7: I think they're they'd be excited that they wouldn't be
14:17
Speaker 7: starting Will Howard or Ty Simpson or Garrett Nussmeyer or
14:20
Speaker 7: whoever else they go and grab coming up this week.
14:23
Speaker 7: But uh, yeah, there doesn't seem to be a whole
14:26
Speaker 7: lot of love for Aaron Rodgers. Uh right, for the theater.
14:33
Speaker 7: But could you imagine when he walks out there expecting
14:36
Speaker 7: you get cheered, and then all of a sudden, people
14:38
Speaker 7: grown me me, You're you're booing me. I'm about to
14:42
Speaker 7: tell you that we're grabbing an offense. Awesome offensive lineman.
14:45
Speaker 7: You're gonna get four time MVP.
14:46
Speaker 8: Back years ago, they were wondering about how to bring
14:51
Speaker 8: how they could bring Brett Favre back without people getting mad,
14:53
Speaker 8: and I was like, Oh, that's obvious to me. Just
14:56
Speaker 8: hav him roll out with Bart Starr. No one's gonna
14:59
Speaker 8: boo Bart Star. So it's like and then they kind
15:02
Speaker 8: of did that a little bit. You're right, they kind
15:04
Speaker 8: of did that, they followed, but it was later than
15:06
Speaker 8: I would have done it. But yeah, that is interesting.
15:09
Speaker 5: I like that.
15:10
Speaker 7: So you would have had bart Starr there at midfield
15:12
Speaker 7: instead of Lance Allen on the return to return to
15:14
Speaker 7: Title Town for before he.
15:16
Speaker 8: Went in there, perhaps, yeah, you know, but just their
15:19
Speaker 8: whole thing about loving it at a game and they
15:21
Speaker 8: ended up doing that that Halloween night, the Jersey retirement,
15:24
Speaker 8: all that stuff, right.
15:25
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well we all sat there and soaked trying to
15:27
Speaker 7: be able to see any pit of it, and I
15:29
Speaker 7: barely could find any of it.
15:31
Speaker 4: Night loss.
15:32
Speaker 8: Oh you and Wayne be angry a covered Wayne Learrvy
15:35
Speaker 8: going to join the program today. That's the big news today.
15:37
Speaker 8: So twenty five, if you're up earlier, you're getting rewarded.
15:39
Speaker 8: We're up before the roosters, and I made the turn.
15:42
Speaker 8: It's funny because when you look at the clock, the
15:45
Speaker 8: digital clock, and it's when it's it's four twenty, when
15:50
Speaker 8: it's four forty one, I think of the Tom Petty
15:53
Speaker 8: song American Girl. There's a reference to Highway four forty
15:55
Speaker 8: one in Florida.
15:56
Speaker 3: Oh okay, and then.
15:57
Speaker 8: When at four forty two, I turned by the the
16:00
Speaker 8: health club and we beat the Socio pass. This morning,
16:02
Speaker 8: there was nobody in the parking lot waiting. I guess
16:05
Speaker 8: it's I guess the magic number for them is they
16:06
Speaker 8: get up, they get their fifteen minutes.
16:08
Speaker 7: I was gonna say four forty five. They want to
16:09
Speaker 7: be respectful, so they're all on Lombardi time, is what. Yes,
16:12
Speaker 7: that makes sense?
16:13
Speaker 3: Okay, So there was nobody there when I swung buy.
16:15
Speaker 8: So I was wondering, because you know the draft, it's
16:19
Speaker 8: going to be quicker this year, but it's still a
16:22
Speaker 8: hunker down. Better better eat of snickers, Better have a
16:25
Speaker 8: sandwich ready? You and Wayne better have some you know,
16:27
Speaker 8: some snacks on hand tonight.
16:29
Speaker 3: Hopefully Peg stocks up that piece and he's catering it tonight.
16:32
Speaker 8: I don't know, but you and Wayne will be here
16:34
Speaker 8: at headquarters and then the rest of us will be
16:37
Speaker 8: dialed inven world.
16:38
Speaker 4: That's the cater officially tonight.
16:40
Speaker 8: It's a slog, and fortunately the Brewers are clear in
16:43
Speaker 8: the deck. Brewers going to do their away game in
16:46
Speaker 8: America Park. Didn't go well for the Brewers last night.
16:48
Speaker 8: They just didn't put anything together on offense until the end.
16:51
Speaker 8: There was a faint flicker in the ninth, but Brewers
16:55
Speaker 8: lose that one, and now they're facing Scooble in the
16:59
Speaker 8: getaway games. So Tarak Schooble and then likely Paul Skins
17:02
Speaker 8: on Friday as Pittsburgh comes to town. So that'll be interesting.
17:05
Speaker 8: Nice of the uh, you know, not like they had
17:07
Speaker 8: a choice, but the Pirates had to be out of
17:09
Speaker 8: town this week. Yeah, no kidding, They had to send
17:12
Speaker 8: them themselves around. I think they went down to Texas first.
17:15
Speaker 7: I saw mcalvey had it that the Brewers are just
17:17
Speaker 7: gonna be like the second team to face back to
17:21
Speaker 7: back or the two reigning Cy Youngs.
17:24
Speaker 3: In back to back games, second team in MLB history.
17:27
Speaker 3: What a crazy draw.
17:28
Speaker 7: And also, you know, maybe we uh maybe if the
17:30
Speaker 7: Tigers wanted to help the Brewers out, why don't you
17:32
Speaker 7: go out there and float to Tarrek Scooble like, hey,
17:34
Speaker 7: what if we give you a two hundred million dollar contract?
17:37
Speaker 3: He was like, all right, there you go, you jerks.
17:39
Speaker 3: How about you just shove it?
17:40
Speaker 7: And then he decides, you know what, I'm gonna go
17:41
Speaker 7: out here and give up four ernies in the first
17:44
Speaker 7: three innings and then you guys are gonna pull me
17:45
Speaker 7: because you came at me with some nonsense like that
17:47
Speaker 7: to a four or five hundred million dollar guy going
17:49
Speaker 7: into the offseason.
17:50
Speaker 4: That's right, let's get him fully disgruggled.
17:52
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say yeah, to turn them off to the
17:54
Speaker 7: organization right away. Let's figure it out. We got to
17:56
Speaker 7: find something to be able to cause the bats have
17:59
Speaker 7: worked against Skians. But maybe it's just a flashback from
18:03
Speaker 7: it probably was twenty years ago now when Tony Graffanino
18:06
Speaker 7: was lined up there. I think of a cy Young
18:10
Speaker 7: winner in Detroit Brewers, and all I can think of
18:14
Speaker 7: is Vernlander throwing that. No, no, So I would just
18:16
Speaker 7: I'd like to see any way that we can rattle
18:19
Speaker 7: Schooble before first pitch coming up here just afternoon.
18:22
Speaker 3: Expect big things today from David Hamilton. Oh okay, yes, yes.
18:27
Speaker 8: The only other time a team has faced back to
18:30
Speaker 8: back Cy Young winners was last year the Red Sox
18:34
Speaker 8: and David Hamilton was on that squad and they faced
18:37
Speaker 8: Scooble on getaway day in Detroit and then faced Chris
18:41
Speaker 8: Sale and the Braves.
18:43
Speaker 3: Put in your memory bank, So two years in a row,
18:45
Speaker 3: it's happening.
18:47
Speaker 7: Okay, and I like the fact that he's hot, right,
18:50
Speaker 7: I mean, just rolling in here with a four hit
18:53
Speaker 7: day on Monday.
18:54
Speaker 8: The Red Sox did lose both of those games, but
18:56
Speaker 8: they did score five runs off seven hits with Scooble,
19:01
Speaker 8: so you know, Hamilton was a pinch erter in both
19:03
Speaker 8: of those games, so he's done it before.
19:05
Speaker 3: We've been there before, yes, been there before.
19:07
Speaker 7: When you think about it's probably not as crazy since
19:10
Speaker 7: the difference in interleague play kind of just started. But
19:15
Speaker 7: I love the idea of us having the solution. It's
19:18
Speaker 7: David Hamilton, what's your what's the fix to an offensive
19:21
Speaker 7: struggle against the cy young winner, the guy that walked
19:23
Speaker 7: in with a five eighty ops this year. Let's let
19:26
Speaker 7: David Hamilton start this thing rolling through. We do a
19:29
Speaker 7: Brandon Sprouts. So I was about to say five runs
19:31
Speaker 7: should be enough to win a ball game, maybe maybe
19:34
Speaker 7: maybe seven, maybe fifteen, But he did just touch the
19:37
Speaker 7: seventh dinning last week, so let's.
19:38
Speaker 3: Give him a little bit of credit and a little
19:39
Speaker 3: bit of love there. And we gave me five.
19:42
Speaker 6: If you gave me a ticket for five runs right
19:44
Speaker 6: now off Schooble, I'm taking it, obviously.
19:46
Speaker 8: So we will talk more Brewers with Hunter Bombguart. He's
19:49
Speaker 8: going to join us at seven am.
19:51
Speaker 7: Cannot wait, moved up a little bit, good smart and
19:53
Speaker 7: then the great Wayne larry By, the voice of the
19:55
Speaker 7: Green Bay Packers, Billy's tag team partner for our Draft
19:57
Speaker 7: covers presented by Pottawatamy Casino Hotel.
20:00
Speaker 3: That's all coming up. He's joining us at seven twenty five.
20:03
Speaker 8: In the meantime, yes, we'll try to connect with reeks

Speaker 8: But Billy, you won't even need a nap today because
20:17
Speaker 8: you just like let him out of the cage.
20:19
Speaker 3: Yeah.
20:19
Speaker 7: My wife said, well, how can we figure out a
20:21
Speaker 7: nap for you today? I was like, honey, on day
20:23
Speaker 7: one of the NFL Draft, let's figure that on any
20:25
Speaker 7: other Thursday. Let's figure that for any other day of
20:29
Speaker 7: the week that is not draft acas. I'm like Russell
20:31
Speaker 7: Wilson's first wife, screaming with.
20:33
Speaker 3: Excitement right now.
20:33
Speaker 8: And we're gonna have temperatures still seventies today as well.
20:36
Speaker 8: We hope that you're ready for this. Basically, it's like
20:39
Speaker 8: we're beginning our draft coverage right now. The pick won't
20:42
Speaker 8: be in for a while, but we're beginning our coverage
20:44
Speaker 8: right now. So grab yourself a comfortable chair, a hot
20:47
Speaker 8: or cold beverage of your choice, and hang out with
20:49
Speaker 8: us this morning. It is the Huddle Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
20:55
Speaker 3: Surprise for us today, not a surprise to us. No,
20:59
Speaker 3: that's great, I mean, no, that's what I mean.
21:01
Speaker 7: I'm not Hey, one question, build a lot of criticism
21:04
Speaker 7: about not taking a quarterback here.
21:06
Speaker 3: Your response, well, you know, we got a guy up there.
21:09
Speaker 9: Who in the hell is mel Kuiper In a way,
21:12
Speaker 9: I mean, here's a guy that criticizes everybody, whoever they take.
21:15
Speaker 9: He's got the answers to who you should take and
21:18
Speaker 9: who you shouldn't take. In my knowledge of him, he's
21:20
Speaker 9: never ever put on a jockstrap. He's never been a coach,
21:23
Speaker 9: he's never been a scout, he's never been an administrator,
21:26
Speaker 9: and all of a sudden, he's an expert.
21:27
Speaker 3: He's in our papers two days.
21:29
Speaker 9: Ago telling us who we have to take. We don't
21:31
Speaker 9: have to take anybody that mel Kuiper says. We have
21:33
Speaker 9: to take mel Kuiper has no more credentials to do
21:37
Speaker 9: what he's doing than my neighbor. And my neighbor's a postman,
21:40
Speaker 9: and he doesn't even have season take us to the NFL.
21:46
Speaker 8: Uh draft a arman. Sorry, it's getting in his bag
21:49
Speaker 8: and cleaning up the swear words.
21:51
Speaker 3: This time. There we go that.
21:53
Speaker 4: I thought it was easy. I got built out.
21:55
Speaker 6: You know the funny thing about that is no one's
21:57
Speaker 6: ever tracked down his post Bill Tobin's postman to see
21:59
Speaker 6: if you neo ball.
22:00
Speaker 3: I always thought that was weird. That would have been
22:03
Speaker 3: the next level reporting. You're right.
22:04
Speaker 7: If it was in today's day and age, somebody with
22:06
Speaker 7: a stick four K camera would have went over.
22:08
Speaker 4: It would have found him. Yeah, it would have got
22:10
Speaker 4: some comment.
22:11
Speaker 8: Nicolae Lotta comm talking text on eight seven seven seven
22:13
Speaker 8: nine ninety seven three. I mentioned Tom Petty earlier because
22:16
Speaker 8: a highway four forty one and that runs through Florida. Well,
22:20
Speaker 8: the waiting is the hardest part, and the draft doesn't
22:22
Speaker 8: start till seven o'clock tonight.
22:24
Speaker 3: So Billy, you got team minus what thirteen and a
22:27
Speaker 3: half hours left something like that.
22:29
Speaker 7: Yeah, a lot more time, and then you know you
22:32
Speaker 7: can build in a little bit more time because we're
22:34
Speaker 7: we'll skip the first one because everyone knows that it's
22:36
Speaker 7: going to be Fernando Mendoza. John Spytech, the Catholic Memorial
22:39
Speaker 7: product was on Izen this week and just kind of
22:42
Speaker 7: smiled through everything of their seven minute you know, glowing
22:45
Speaker 7: of Fernando.
22:46
Speaker 3: But you know, we're gonna do our due diligence or
22:48
Speaker 3: our phones are going to be on. Our phones are
22:49
Speaker 3: going to be on. Can they match?
22:51
Speaker 8: Can the draft and the first night of the draft
22:53
Speaker 8: match the intensity of the inaugural playoff game between the
22:57
Speaker 8: Milwaukee Wave and the San Diego Soccers last night?
23:00
Speaker 3: His storic Panther Arena.
23:01
Speaker 7: Well, listen, I mean I watched that Flyer go out
23:04
Speaker 7: and just beat the out of a Penguin last night
23:06
Speaker 7: in their hockey game. If all of a sudden somebody
23:09
Speaker 7: shows up in a Flyer jersey, I don't know that
23:11
Speaker 7: you won't see a brawl happened there in Pittsburgh, but
23:14
Speaker 7: uh oh wow, goodness gracious, that was a that's a
23:17
Speaker 7: bad sight there.
23:19
Speaker 3: Panther Arena.
23:19
Speaker 8: Soccers took the first one five to four, and the
23:22
Speaker 8: series now shifts to California, But there was like a
23:25
Speaker 8: dust up in a uh you know, a little altercation
23:29
Speaker 8: man right by that game, right as they were walking off. Yeah,
23:31
Speaker 8: right as they're walking off right by the right by
23:34
Speaker 8: kicked in the jimmy apparently, and then it took exception
23:36
Speaker 8: and then that was right at the end of the games.
23:38
Speaker 7: Well, and I like all those you know, rapid diehard
23:40
Speaker 7: never miss a wave game hockey soccer fans getting themselves
23:44
Speaker 7: over to that landmark area and sticking up for the boys.
23:46
Speaker 3: You know, Kickr you got and this is me. This
23:49
Speaker 3: is watching this guy all year. I love this team.
23:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly, totally not.
23:54
Speaker 7: Here for the five dollars tickets up there, you yeah,
23:57
Speaker 7: you're not gonna come in now while it's the finals
23:58
Speaker 7: and do this.
23:59
Speaker 4: We've been We've been here every day, right, this is
24:01
Speaker 4: the Ron Newman Cup Finals.
24:02
Speaker 6: It is interesting though, Yeah, it's playoff time Milwaukee the
24:05
Speaker 6: Admirals last night as well, obviously, but uh, we are
24:08
Speaker 6: used to it as a culture more in hockey, but
24:11
Speaker 6: when we see it in soccer, it's like, well, what's
24:13
Speaker 6: happening here? This is this is wrong, this is not
24:15
Speaker 6: what we're used to, so it is uh yeah, that
24:18
Speaker 6: was kind of interesting. To see last night. But I
24:20
Speaker 6: think that's the best of three, right, you mentioned it,
24:22
Speaker 6: Drew Becks.
24:23
Speaker 3: So we still got a chance.
24:24
Speaker 7: I'm I I'm not gonna lie. I'm unfamiliar with the
24:26
Speaker 7: Indoor Soccer League's game. Yea, So we fly out to
24:28
Speaker 7: San Diego. Now that sounds like that sounds like a
24:31
Speaker 7: great place to play indoor soccer in April. I believe
24:34
Speaker 7: that is correct.
24:35
Speaker 6: And the Admirals are also from their best of three
24:36
Speaker 6: stay in Manitoba after a big four to win win
24:38
Speaker 6: last night, so they're trying.
24:39
Speaker 3: To use from what I heard, no fighting with Canadians.
24:42
Speaker 4: There was a couple, but it's just regular now. That
24:44
Speaker 4: was the Edmonton Ollers game.
24:45
Speaker 8: They were fighting in the concourse and know what you
24:47
Speaker 8: need to win in hockey, right in the in this
24:50
Speaker 8: time of year, hot goalie, hot goalie.
24:52
Speaker 3: Yes, Matt Murray stood on his head last night to
24:55
Speaker 3: use the hockey for.
24:56
Speaker 8: I love that, Yes, dominant for one forty two day,
25:01
Speaker 8: forty two shots stopped by him. And there's got to
25:04
Speaker 8: be at one point, as you know, I my goalie
25:07
Speaker 8: exploits were in gym class when they were doing the
25:10
Speaker 8: roller hockey unit and your boy couldn't skate, so the
25:12
Speaker 8: only thing that I could do was be the fat
25:14
Speaker 8: kid in the goal, and that was the way of playing.
25:17
Speaker 8: At some point I looked around and said, fellas, how
25:19
Speaker 8: many more shots do I have to stop?
25:21
Speaker 5: Right?
25:21
Speaker 3: Like? How many more do I gotta stop for us
25:23
Speaker 3: to be able to win this game?
25:25
Speaker 7: I wonder if Murray at any point goes, hey, fellas,
25:28
Speaker 7: no need to say it, You're welcome, Yeah, busts into
25:32
Speaker 7: a Mawana Maui style song in the in the locker room.
25:35
Speaker 7: Don't have to worry about it, guys, You're welcome. I'm
25:38
Speaker 7: just an ordinary goalie. But maybe let me save like
25:41
Speaker 7: thirty one for us to win for one coming up
25:44
Speaker 7: on Friday night and then move back here and get
25:46
Speaker 7: some home games in Milwaukee.
25:47
Speaker 3: One more went away from getting back come home.
25:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, now that you're right, Billy, because that's a
25:51
Speaker 6: performance you love, you need. It's a winning performance, but
25:54
Speaker 6: it's one you wouldn't want to have to have because
25:56
Speaker 6: you don't want to get out shot forty two to
25:58
Speaker 6: twenty four generally. So hopefully they don't have to do
26:00
Speaker 6: that again and win a game. But like, whatever it
26:02
Speaker 6: takes this time of the year right play.
26:03
Speaker 7: That opener on the road is keyp baby. You were
26:06
Speaker 7: talking about it with bows yesterday. You were spot on Drew,
26:08
Speaker 7: like the biggest, most important thing in the short series.
26:12
Speaker 7: You put every bit of pressure right there on that
26:14
Speaker 7: home team.
26:14
Speaker 8: Yep, yep, they'll be squeezing the sticks on Friday night
26:17
Speaker 8: in Manitoba. Let's go get those moose. Let's go moose hunting,
26:20
Speaker 8: so the admirals prevail in their opener. Man moose hunting
26:23
Speaker 8: would have to be a devilish chore. I mean, like,
26:26
Speaker 8: those things are so large you don't necessarily realize it
26:29
Speaker 8: until one is laying in front of you on a
26:31
Speaker 8: road up in Alaska. Those things are Those are serious animals.
26:35
Speaker 7: That's why the Admiral goes up there and takes care
26:37
Speaker 7: of it, because otherwise, I don't know, I don't know
26:39
Speaker 7: that I'm I'm advertising anybody to go moose hunting. Otherwise,
26:42
Speaker 7: we trained professionals to help out there for the absolutely eight.
26:45
Speaker 3: Seven seven seven nine four.
26:47
Speaker 8: Nicolay lodac Co'm talking textan, what are you watching in
26:49
Speaker 8: tonight's first round of the NFL Draft.
26:52
Speaker 3: I'm interested in the staging. What does it look like?
26:54
Speaker 8: It's not gonna look as cool as it did in Lambeau,
26:56
Speaker 8: but I'm sure it'll be all right.
26:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it will look okay.
26:59
Speaker 7: It's kind kind of weird as the backdrop is in
27:02
Speaker 7: front of the stadium right we're at Lambeau. The stadium
27:06
Speaker 7: was the was the landlocked area for the fans to
27:10
Speaker 7: go back towards. So I'm interested to see how it
27:12
Speaker 7: plays out there tonight. But most importantly, it's gonna beautiful.
27:16
Speaker 7: And if there's any eastern city drew that I think
27:20
Speaker 7: is somewhat similar to Wisconsin, oh yeah, Pittsburgh's the closest
27:24
Speaker 7: one to it. So put Pittsburgh's don't have some fun tonight.
27:27
Speaker 7: And if I was a icy light salesman tonight, you
27:31
Speaker 7: gotta be looking at a pretty fruitful evening.
27:34
Speaker 3: Got to get the orange, you got it, you got it.
27:36
Speaker 7: Think that you're gonna be selling at bunch of city
27:38
Speaker 7: tonight almost eighty degrees.
27:40
Speaker 4: I think in Pittsburgh.
27:41
Speaker 3: So it should beautiful.
27:42
Speaker 4: We remember last year, that was what we were so worried.
27:45
Speaker 3: There we go, Sorry, guys, Fanchetz.
27:48
Speaker 4: We ready worried about the weather last year.
27:50
Speaker 3: We were.
27:50
Speaker 6: We were for months and months just worried about the
27:52
Speaker 6: weather and we ended up getting great weather. So it
27:54
Speaker 6: looks like they're gonna have it.
27:54
Speaker 8: Also, yeah, as well, it's gonna be a fantastic it's
27:58
Speaker 8: but I'll be watching that and then what do they
28:00
Speaker 8: glom onto? What are the early storylines? Because the Mendoza thing,
28:04
Speaker 8: when you have we haven't when it is the last
28:07
Speaker 8: time we had like a question on the first pick?
28:10
Speaker 5: Right?
28:10
Speaker 8: Usually the first pick is the one that, Okay, everybody,
28:12
Speaker 8: there's a consensus, and when's the last time you were
28:15
Speaker 8: shocked by a first pick in the draft?
28:16
Speaker 7: The one that I think of now set of draft day,
28:19
Speaker 7: I was gonna say when when Bo Callahan still to
28:22
Speaker 7: all his friends that didn't go to his party or
28:24
Speaker 7: whatever it was. Uh, The one that still sticks in
28:27
Speaker 7: my mind as the craziest one is Mario Williams going
28:31
Speaker 7: number one over Reggie Bush. However, drew like that doesn't
28:34
Speaker 7: that doesn't play because that was on the Saturday Sunday
28:37
Speaker 7: and he signed the contract on Friday night, So I
28:39
Speaker 7: remember when that ticker came across that he had signed
28:42
Speaker 7: with the Houston Texans before the draft. Way, wait a second,
28:44
Speaker 7: how can that be what we're thinking Mario Williams or
28:46
Speaker 7: Reggie Bush the human sheet coat over here. But to
28:50
Speaker 7: the point, there hasn't really been much of a question
28:53
Speaker 7: whether it was Burrow Lawrence obviously Caleb Williams the number
28:56
Speaker 7: eight years.
28:56
Speaker 8: It could keep some smoke like there's a chance and
28:59
Speaker 8: then like it's up, but it's always used eighty you're
29:02
Speaker 8: eighty five percent sure of what's gonna happen.
29:04
Speaker 6: Yeah, the night where one hundred percent rate was Trebam
29:07
Speaker 6: Walker a shoe and two. I'm just trying to remember
29:09
Speaker 6: when he went in twenty two. I think like, was
29:12
Speaker 6: that a shoe win number one? Maybe that was the
29:14
Speaker 6: closest because it wasn't a quarterback.
29:15
Speaker 7: That'd be the only thing I probably would be the
29:17
Speaker 7: close somewhat closest to because Hutchinson was the more developed product.
29:22
Speaker 3: But uh Walker.
29:23
Speaker 7: At some point, I want to say, within the last
29:26
Speaker 7: two weeks before the draft really shot up, as Trent
29:29
Speaker 7: Balkey kind of stepped in it and said that that
29:31
Speaker 7: was potentially who they were gonna take.
29:33
Speaker 3: That's the other part here.
29:34
Speaker 7: That's the only team that can give a lead and
29:37
Speaker 7: a tell as to who they're gonna take.
29:39
Speaker 3: Maybe it will be the Jets A too.
29:40
Speaker 7: Betting markets would say, it's a little bit contrary to
29:43
Speaker 7: what a lot of the mockers are saying right now,
29:44
Speaker 7: But you don't necessarily know because you still have to
29:48
Speaker 7: figure out how it plays out in front of you.
29:50
Speaker 7: That's one of the best questions for Brian Goodkin, cit
29:53
Speaker 7: he answered a couple of days ago. Drew was like,
29:55
Speaker 7: you can't even forecast who's gonna be now in that spot.
29:59
Speaker 7: You can have a general assumption, but you start locking
30:02
Speaker 7: in the two or three guys, you're going to be
30:04
Speaker 7: in a very very difficult spot.
30:06
Speaker 8: If those three are off that Bore Cramble come out there, yep.
30:09
Speaker 8: And then he was asking what are you doing Thursday night,
30:11
Speaker 8: which was a great question. Bill Huber asked a lot
30:13
Speaker 8: of presser It's like what are you doing? And he
30:15
Speaker 8: Labby's like, well, I think we're just going to do
30:16
Speaker 8: our normal process. But I don't know. Do they have
30:18
Speaker 8: to suit up? Are they going to be on camera
30:20
Speaker 8: at all? Because it's like, what are we showing the
30:22
Speaker 8: packers war room for?
30:23
Speaker 3: Well, that's a great question. I wouldn't think.
30:25
Speaker 8: So Bob has to be ready in case they do
30:27
Speaker 8: trade up on the off chance that something happened where
30:30
Speaker 8: they did trade up into the first round, which I
30:32
Speaker 8: think it's more likely the packers would trade down and
30:34
Speaker 8: get more picks given the way this talent is dispersed
30:38
Speaker 8: in what people are calling a weak draft.
30:40
Speaker 7: Yeah, and in the fact that they only have seven picks, right, like,
30:42
Speaker 7: that's one that Goody is always going to be trying
30:44
Speaker 7: to grab more of.
30:45
Speaker 3: I think the other part is I would say no. Then.
30:49
Speaker 7: I also did watch them put the rams up there
30:52
Speaker 7: year in and year out, every single day, even though
30:55
Speaker 7: they didn't have any picks until like the fourth or
30:57
Speaker 7: fifth round, because they were trading them all the way
30:59
Speaker 7: and they were going to Malibu. They're like, Hey, how
31:01
Speaker 7: about we don't go to the office today, guys, I
31:03
Speaker 7: got this sweet airbnb right on the water. We're all
31:06
Speaker 7: gonna hang out. Bring your wives, bring your kids. We
31:08
Speaker 7: all got work for like an hour and a half,
31:10
Speaker 7: so they can all go and play in the pool
31:12
Speaker 7: while we have to make our two picks.
31:13
Speaker 3: I thought they'd go to Surgeon Bay.
31:15
Speaker 7: I thought, I thought, Sister Bay go up to Door
31:16
Speaker 7: County for a night, hang out, see some see some
31:19
Speaker 7: water hitting the rocks. That sounds like a great time
31:22
Speaker 7: to be able to spend your Thursday night.
31:23
Speaker 4: Feel like he needs.
31:24
Speaker 6: Somebody on duty there just in case, like a phone
31:27
Speaker 6: needs to be answered or some official business needs to
31:29
Speaker 6: be done.
31:29
Speaker 4: Though that's what it seems like. But yeah, I'm not
31:32
Speaker 4: really sure.
31:32
Speaker 3: I don't think.
31:33
Speaker 7: I don't think that you can only call the landlines,
31:36
Speaker 7: though I do. I do think their cell phones would
31:38
Speaker 7: work up there as well.
31:40
Speaker 6: Well, maybe we'll get a shot of the room being empty,
31:42
Speaker 6: like the lights are on but the room's empty, or
31:44
Speaker 6: like when Belichick's dog was sitting at the computer during COVID.
31:47
Speaker 6: Maybe something like that, like that would be pretty good.
31:49
Speaker 6: But it seems like they're just gonna go. They're excited
31:51
Speaker 6: to go get together to hang out and watch the draft,
31:54
Speaker 6: like a bunch of just dudes would like a bunch
31:56
Speaker 6: of buddies.
31:57
Speaker 3: Somebody should ask, goody, though, what's what's the spread? Like
31:59
Speaker 3: what do we cater in?
32:00
Speaker 4: The good question?
32:00
Speaker 7: That's the thing.
32:01
Speaker 3: What do you guys prefer?
32:02
Speaker 8: And if you're the GM, do you get like all right,
32:04
Speaker 8: we're having uh, it's a Chinese buffet on you know,
32:08
Speaker 8: or it's taco bar on Thursday, and then like pizza
32:11
Speaker 8: on Friday, and then like but you know them.
32:13
Speaker 3: They're probably a lot of vegetables.
32:15
Speaker 7: I was gonna say there's but you know what you're
32:18
Speaker 7: you're probably in. If you're gonna go with the Chinese buffet,
32:22
Speaker 7: they gotta do something. One would be the day to
32:23
Speaker 7: go to the Chinese because you give yourself an easy
32:26
Speaker 7: out if in case something.
32:27
Speaker 8: Goes Hey, we gotta do something though, Like it can't
32:30
Speaker 8: just be Deli sandwiches, right, they're just gonna sit there.
32:33
Speaker 4: They'll they'll get they'll get something better than that. I
32:35
Speaker 4: think it's Tonight's the night.
32:36
Speaker 7: You know, you probably know. I mean, I don't better
32:38
Speaker 7: than that. What's better than a cousin subs party platter something?
32:42
Speaker 7: I love cousins.
32:42
Speaker 6: But I'm just saying I think they can use this
32:45
Speaker 6: is the night where they can get something that you
32:47
Speaker 6: need utensils and a plate for like they don't need.
32:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could have an Al Michael steak in the
32:51
Speaker 3: middle of the first round tonight.
32:52
Speaker 4: They'll have time, they'll have desk space, you know.
32:55
Speaker 8: So here's the other question though, because they could hold
32:57
Speaker 8: the draft in International Falls, Minnesota, Billy be excited about
33:01
Speaker 8: it and want to go other than Green Bay. If
33:03
Speaker 8: there was a venue where you could go attend to draft.
33:06
Speaker 8: Like you mentioned, Armin was a twenty two that was
33:08
Speaker 8: at Vegas. Yeah, that was the year. Okay, So where
33:12
Speaker 8: would you want to go see a draft? Not in
33:15
Speaker 8: Green Bay, not in Lambo. So my initial take would
33:19
Speaker 8: be Vegas. However, the bad part is I would be working, yes,
33:23
Speaker 8: and I don't know how much better that would be.
33:26
Speaker 8: If I'm working, looking at Las Vegas Thenville. That would
33:32
Speaker 8: be a great time also because the off time.
33:34
Speaker 7: Then you'd be able to go and make fun of
33:35
Speaker 7: the bachelorette parties that were saying where are all these
33:37
Speaker 7: people here?
33:38
Speaker 3: Where are all these people here? The pedal taverns.
33:40
Speaker 7: I'd struggle to say no to Miami though, Oh there
33:43
Speaker 7: you go right like I mean, and today and this
33:46
Speaker 7: kind of heat that feels like a great time to be.
33:49
Speaker 8: Next year is on the National Mall, and it'd be like,
33:51
Speaker 8: oh man, that's going to make for some majestic things.
33:54
Speaker 8: But then they're you know, the UFC is jumping the
33:56
Speaker 8: route by going to the White House this summer. Yeah,
33:58
Speaker 8: they jumped on that one really quick out. But just
34:00
Speaker 8: think of like the monuments in the background. Next year
34:03
Speaker 8: in DC, that's going to be quite. I don't know
34:06
Speaker 8: how you can top the visuals of that. Well, that's
34:08
Speaker 8: gonna be one of the more historical ones.
34:09
Speaker 7: And and that finally moving that team back into the
34:13
Speaker 7: DC area is going to be one of the best
34:15
Speaker 7: parts of that celebration because since you know that they're
34:17
Speaker 7: gonna be able to get the new stadium. Because I
34:21
Speaker 7: also wonder the places that think that they want it
34:24
Speaker 7: and then they're like, you know what, maybe we'll hold
34:25
Speaker 7: off for a super Bowl. Maybe we'll hold off for
34:27
Speaker 7: a Super Bowl. I don't know that it'll ever go
34:28
Speaker 7: to Arizona because they're in the Super Bowl rotation. Rotation, yeah, exactly,
34:33
Speaker 7: damn and New Orleans would be pretty fun, but rotation
34:36
Speaker 7: as well, So I don't think.
34:37
Speaker 3: I don't think they're going for this is probably not
34:38
Speaker 3: in the mix.
34:39
Speaker 6: In the New Orleans is nice because you can walk everywhere. Right,
34:41
Speaker 6: that's we experience going down there for the Super Bowl.
34:43
Speaker 6: But maybe going through maybe maybe he's one to back.
34:46
Speaker 3: You know, I could go to the cappuccino capital of
34:49
Speaker 3: the world.
34:50
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that would work on I don't know,
34:52
Speaker 8: because you can't get enough visuals of them throwing fish.
34:54
Speaker 4: It's just not that Yeah, absinely. Yeah, it was long flight.
34:57
Speaker 8: Eight seven seven seven. We're just waiting for the first pick.
35:01
Speaker 8: We're waiting for the chimes to start sounding. Our coverage
35:04
Speaker 8: starts tonight. What time you fire up tonight, Billy.
35:06
Speaker 7: Seven o'clock tonight, seven to ten, tonight, six to eleven
35:10
Speaker 7: with myself and the voice of the Green Bay Packers,
35:12
Speaker 7: Wayne Larby to well, fire were a hunter today and
35:14
Speaker 7: brought us brought to us.
35:15
Speaker 3: By Potawatomie Hotel and Casino.
35:17
Speaker 8: All right, Hunter's going to join us at seven o'clock,
35:20
Speaker 8: Wayne Larvy at seven point thirty.
35:22
Speaker 3: You're in the huddle Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin for a quarterback.
35:26
Speaker 3: No one's really sure how much longer. Brett Farvell played
35:29
Speaker 3: about three or.
35:30
Speaker 5: Four days before the draft. I was convinced that the
35:33
Speaker 5: best thing to do if he got to us was
35:35
Speaker 5: pick Aaron Rodgers. We draft based on what we considered
35:39
Speaker 5: to be the best player available, or we try to.
35:42
Speaker 5: We weren't going to do anything crazy, you know, moving
35:44
Speaker 5: up and things like that, but we were just gonna
35:46
Speaker 5: let the draft play itself out and hope against hope
35:49
Speaker 5: that it would work out. I told him at the
35:51
Speaker 5: time when I made the call, and then told him
35:53
Speaker 5: we were going to pick him that I thought maybe
35:56
Speaker 5: some divine intervention that played a part.
36:00
Speaker 7: With the twenty fourth selection in the two thousand and
36:03
Speaker 7: five NFL drafts, the Green Bay Packers select Aaron Rodgers
36:07
Speaker 7: quarterback in California.
36:10
Speaker 8: Great draft memories of bad haircuts, Welcome into the huddle.
36:14
Speaker 8: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin nine to twenty, Milwaukee ten seventy, Mattison, Drew,
36:18
Speaker 8: Billy and Arman hanging out with you on this the
36:21
Speaker 8: evening of the start of the NFL Draft. Day one
36:24
Speaker 8: of the NFL Draft, the first round will be held tonight,
36:27
Speaker 8: being at seven o'clock in Pittsburgh. Packers with no pick,
36:31
Speaker 8: we are just going to be pressed up with outside
36:34
Speaker 8: the glass, with our noses up against the glass there looking.
36:36
Speaker 3: In full squidward meme. Y'all having a good party in there.
36:40
Speaker 3: Looks like a lot of fun. Looks like a great time.
36:42
Speaker 3: We'll join you tomorrow.
36:43
Speaker 7: Do you think that, as you mentioned, the twenty first
36:46
Speaker 7: pick of the draft tonight will be for the Pittsburgh Stillers,
36:50
Speaker 7: And we had mocked and kind of joked about it
36:52
Speaker 7: last year. Was there a little edict from Mark Murphy
36:55
Speaker 7: to Brian goudokutzav Hey, I understand whatever value there is,
36:58
Speaker 7: you ain't trading the stampeck right. Think do you think
37:00
Speaker 7: the roonies may or may not have had a conversation
37:02
Speaker 7: with you want to of like, hey, I understand you
37:04
Speaker 7: might want to do some moving and shaken about tonight.
37:07
Speaker 3: No, how about next year?
37:08
Speaker 8: A gentleman's agreement that if you're hosting the draft, you
37:10
Speaker 8: can't trade out of the first round.
37:12
Speaker 7: You cannot, And frankly, I don't know that you can
37:14
Speaker 7: even trade back because you can't give an eight minute
37:18
Speaker 7: blue situation to the folks that are there getting ready
37:20
Speaker 7: to celebrate their favorite team.
37:22
Speaker 3: No, that's true.
37:23
Speaker 8: And so last year one of the things about walking
37:27
Speaker 8: around the draft was you saw people not only from
37:29
Speaker 8: all over the country, all over the world. Yeah, but
37:31
Speaker 8: you saw the jerseys and people representing their teams. Now,
37:34
Speaker 8: some of them it seemed like might have been paid
37:36
Speaker 8: actors or something, or some like super fans and things. Yeah, yeah,
37:40
Speaker 8: some super fans were showing up and stuff, and like
37:42
Speaker 8: there was part of it might have been a work
37:45
Speaker 8: well like maybe or people got the teams picked up
37:47
Speaker 8: the tab for their fan of the year to go.
37:49
Speaker 4: You wanted one contest to go where our jersey type
37:52
Speaker 4: of thing. What is that implied?
37:54
Speaker 6: I don't think they tell them, but it's probably, Hey,
37:56
Speaker 6: you win the team contest, you're probably gonna be walking
37:58
Speaker 6: around in Dolphins gear.
37:59
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, I've also I'm also the same guy
38:02
Speaker 7: that I realized the other day. My wife wanted to
38:04
Speaker 7: take the kid to the team store and I wore
38:06
Speaker 7: a Brewer shirt, right, Like, so I mean to have
38:09
Speaker 7: fans wear a shirt of the team.
38:10
Speaker 3: Probably have the craziest one Brewer shirt at wait at the.
38:14
Speaker 7: I went to the team store on an off day,
38:16
Speaker 7: and all of a sudden, I realized, I'm like, oh,
38:17
Speaker 7: I put on a Brewer shirt just awkwardly.
38:21
Speaker 8: That's like wearing a T shirt of the band whose
38:23
Speaker 8: concert you're going to see.
38:24
Speaker 7: Sure, yeah, then I already bought like at the last concert, Like,
38:27
Speaker 7: well I got this one, so I'm already I'm all
38:28
Speaker 7: ready to go, Like going to Men's warehouse and wearing
38:30
Speaker 7: a tux y. I just wanted to make sure that
38:33
Speaker 7: was properly, properly fitted for the occasion. We had an
38:36
Speaker 7: individual last year, uh number two in the draft. That
38:40
Speaker 7: was where the biggest shaker happened yesterday last year, and
38:43
Speaker 7: it started to percolate throughout the day. When the Browns
38:45
Speaker 7: moved out allowed the Jacksonville Jaguars to go up and
38:48
Speaker 7: draft Travis Hunter with the second pick. There was a
38:51
Speaker 7: poor son of a gun, poor soul that walked right
38:56
Speaker 7: next to the broadcast location and gave out a man
39:00
Speaker 7: assive expletive because he was wearing a Browns Travis Hunter
39:04
Speaker 7: jersey that he had personalized at their team shop over
39:07
Speaker 7: the week because he thought he was locked in. There's
39:09
Speaker 7: no way they're passing on this guy, probably Heisman guy
39:12
Speaker 7: right here, number two, and.
39:14
Speaker 8: Instead they move back and grab a defensive lineman. And
39:17
Speaker 8: knowing that, he took it out to the burn barrel
39:19
Speaker 8: to put it next to the embers of his sting
39:22
Speaker 8: of his Lebron Calfs Jersey and Johnny Manzel Jersey.
39:25
Speaker 3: Manzell, Tim Couchy had a lot. They're into that built
39:29
Speaker 3: burning it.
39:29
Speaker 4: Anybody doing that now? I said, I like, you're just
39:32
Speaker 4: waiting for content.
39:32
Speaker 6: You you want something to happen, because it was actually
39:35
Speaker 6: making that mistake anymore.
39:36
Speaker 3: Super Bowl Champion tattoos before the season.
39:39
Speaker 6: It's all about just trying to bring somebody, bring some
39:41
Speaker 6: main character energy in herself.
39:43
Speaker 3: That's my theory on that one eight seven seven, seven
39:46
Speaker 3: nine three.
39:47
Speaker 8: Well that montage, the little Ted Thompson clip that Arman
39:51
Speaker 8: brought us back. With favorite moments of drafts, youre either
39:54
Speaker 8: packers or otherwise, what are your favorite?
39:56
Speaker 6: Like?
39:56
Speaker 3: There's been I like chaos. I liked that Browns trade.
40:00
Speaker 3: Don like.
40:01
Speaker 8: Now it'll be hypocritical because Draft Day is a crappy movie. Sorry, reegs,
40:06
Speaker 8: I hate it sucks. I'm not watching it, and I
40:09
Speaker 8: watched the real thing every year. Yeah, I was gonna
40:11
Speaker 8: say it's it's a crappy approximation. But I do like
40:15
Speaker 8: the drama of stuff like that of the unexpected, and
40:19
Speaker 8: there's been a number of those.
40:20
Speaker 3: So then we got to buckle up.
40:22
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I mean I do. This is one day
40:25
Speaker 7: where God rest his soul. I do miss Al Davis
40:28
Speaker 7: being a part of the NFL, because you knew that
40:30
Speaker 7: there was gonna be somebody that the Raiders are gonna
40:32
Speaker 7: take in the top twelve that was gonna blow everyone's mind.
40:35
Speaker 7: Wait a second, Darius Hayward bay at seven. Now guy
40:40
Speaker 7: ends up going off for what a twelve or thirteen
40:42
Speaker 7: year NFL career, wasn't necessarily the number one wide receiver
40:45
Speaker 7: everybody anticipated he was gonna be, But at one point
40:47
Speaker 7: he was the best special teams player in football and
40:50
Speaker 7: had a long career. So there's great ways of slicing
40:53
Speaker 7: and dicing it to be your you know, greatest flunt
40:58
Speaker 7: blown blunder would end up being a guy that hits.
41:01
Speaker 7: Still one of my favorites was I mentioned that that
41:04
Speaker 7: draft when Mario Williams goes ahead of Reggie Bush.
41:08
Speaker 3: All I wanted.
41:09
Speaker 7: All I wanted was for the Green Bay Packers to
41:11
Speaker 7: take a j Hawk with the number five overall pick,
41:13
Speaker 7: wearing that number forty seven full of Buckeye leaves as
41:16
Speaker 7: he was dominating college football. And then I open up
41:19
Speaker 7: the paper and I see Bob mcgainn say that they're
41:22
Speaker 7: gonna take Vernon Davis tight end.
41:25
Speaker 3: You gotta be out of your damn mind how we
41:27
Speaker 3: take it.
41:28
Speaker 7: How on earth are we not taking the best linebacker
41:30
Speaker 7: in the country. And I had to go to a
41:32
Speaker 7: youth baseball game that day. Now, this is far before
41:35
Speaker 7: the days of being able to watch the draft on
41:37
Speaker 7: your phone, So while I was in the dugout, I
41:41
Speaker 7: did make my dad go to the car to go
41:44
Speaker 7: listen to the draft coverage to make sure that they
41:47
Speaker 7: took aj Hawk, And as I saw him walking back
41:49
Speaker 7: down that line, I walked out of the dugout to
41:51
Speaker 7: confirm it into the outfield. Hey, right, Hawk just gave
41:55
Speaker 7: her the little thumbs up. I gave a big old
41:57
Speaker 7: fist pump right out of it after. So I got
41:59
Speaker 7: a lot those good nerdy moments back in the day.
42:02
Speaker 7: That was in the time Drew where my mom would
42:04
Speaker 7: be vacuuming up the floor in the living room and
42:08
Speaker 7: I'm like, Mom, it's round five and they're up in
42:10
Speaker 7: seven picks.
42:11
Speaker 3: Could we maybe do this later?
42:13
Speaker 7: Like this is an important time for us to figure
42:16
Speaker 7: out who is going to be the one hundred and
42:17
Speaker 7: seventy eighth pick in the NFL Draft. I think we
42:20
Speaker 7: can vacuum after this is all done.
42:23
Speaker 6: So many great memories, like when you think about it,
42:27
Speaker 6: the one time, well, I'll just say this, when the
42:29
Speaker 6: Packers took Derek Sharrod because we're picking last, it was
42:32
Speaker 6: we were Super Bowl champions. That was my favorite memory.
42:35
Speaker 6: Even though wasn't good, that meant we were just signified
42:38
Speaker 6: we were the champs.
42:39
Speaker 4: I love that little reminder. So many good ones though
42:42
Speaker 4: we can keep them rolling in our buddy.
42:44
