  Speaker 1: finished a joint practice that looked like it was electric
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: and it was a good preview for the Jets Giants
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: game on Saturday night, which I don't know if I'm
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: announcing any news here. Andrew Marshand of the New York
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Post or the Athletic wherever he's at now has not
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: reported it. No one's reported it. I will be in
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the broadcast booth for Jets Giants pre season. This is
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: as silly as this might sound to some, This is
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a pretty cool ass dream come true for me. I
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: grew up watching the Jets preseason, the Giants preseason my
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: entire life. I worked Jets preseason games a couple years back,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: didn't do it the last couple of years. Anthony Beck
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: did the first couple of games. Couldn't do this game.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: So late last week I got a call asking if
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I'll be in the booth and I'm like as a
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: play by play guy, as a color guy, as a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: sideline reporter, and they were like, no Iron Eagles to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: play by play guy, You idiot, You could just come
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: in and give some color. So I've been studying NonStop Jets, Roster, Giants, roster,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and I will be on the broadcast Saturday night. But
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: it's been a crazy couple weeks in the NFL, and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I'm here with my great producer, slash co host in
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: many ways, mister Aaron wan Kaufman and Aaron, I'm gonna
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you my weekend event and then I'm
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: gonna ask you about what you did over the weekend,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: because I feel like both are intertwined in a way
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of sports soelebrity and maybe spinning the spinning it forward
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit as where this whole confluence of sports
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and celebrity and in many ways, I guess culture and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: zeitgeist come together. So obviously I've done NFL stuff for years.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I had an opportunity to go to the Masters this
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: year in August which was a dream come true. I'd
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: never been to Augusta. It was like bucket list. It
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: was amazing. And when I was there, there was a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: private concert for a musician that I did not know
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: much about. And this musician's name is jelly Roll. Jelly
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Roll performed at this masters party that I was at,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and it was awesome. I was blown away. Fast forward
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a couple months later, I'm playing in a golf tournament
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and I meet this guy who is an agent and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: he represents different country music artists, and he starts talking
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: about how he works with Zach Bryan and he works
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: with Kenny Chesney and all these guys, and I'm like,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: this is awesome. I go I roll with jelly Roll
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and he's like, totally get it. Jelly Roll is awesome.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I know his guys too. All right, great, so I
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: catch word that's serious, Sirius XM, Sirius La, Howard Stern,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the whole thing, call me daddy, whatever you want to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: call it. They're having a concert and the concert is
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: going to be out on the Eastern Tip, a long Island,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: at a place called Stephen Talkhouse. Now Stephen Talkhouse is
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: a small bar, probably capacity of five hundred people. And
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in this small bar, in this small concert venue, jelly
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: rolls performing. I have to immediately get on my text chain.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I'm asking anybody can I get tickets since I want
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to see Jelly Roll. I want to go see jelly Roll.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Sure enough, I get tickets to go see jelly Roll.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I bring my wife, I bring our friends. We have
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: two friends, the Zips. They're into see live music. We
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: head out there. There's a tent in the back. We
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: go to the Jelly Roll concert and is like this
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: like great anticipation. And as we're walking into Jelly Roll,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Aaron Jimmy Fallon rolls through, Howard Stern, rolls through Bradley Cooper,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: rolls through John Hamm, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Sean Hayes,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the smartlest guys. They're all with serious now. All of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a sudden, then it's Baba Booie from The Howard Stern Show,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and then it's Rosanna Scatto from local Fox five, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I'm like, everyone's here to see the jelly Jelly Roll
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: comes on. I am not exaggerating. I think it's one
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of the best concerts I've ever been to. Small value,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: small venue, little backyard tent. Action comes out plays I'm
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: not Okay, one of his favorites. He plays Garth Brooks
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Friends in Low Places, plays Lonely Road, which is a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: cover of Country Roads by John Denver, but it's his
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: own spin on it. Plays Nita Fa, which is his
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: biggest hit, plays That Saved Me. Then he does this
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: whole section of covers where he's playing Biz Marquis. Then
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: he goes into Hoodie and the Blowfish Let Her Cry,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: which was like unbelievable. I'm trying to think one of
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the covers he did because he was like, oh Green Day,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: good riddance. Like this guy is so talented. It's an
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: hour long, maybe maybe ninety minutes long. He doesn't stop
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in the middle of it. He's just like, I got
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to stop the concert right now. He's like, I am
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a white trash kid from Nashville, Tennessee, and I am
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: performing in New York right now, and I am watching
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Howard Stern watch me perform, and this is so surreal.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: He's like, I went on Howard Show last year and
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it was a bucket list item. So he's like kissing
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the ring and paying tribute to the throne, and I'm
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: like twenty feet away now, twenty feet I'm probably so
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Howard's in like VIP area and I've never seen Howard
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Stern in person, and like, Howard Stern to me is,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you know, Joe Rogan might be the guy now or
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Theo Vaughn might be the guy now, but if you're
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: talking like interviewer and cultural zeitgeist, and like the guy,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Howard Stern is my hero. Like the way he interviews
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: people is unlike anyone else, and he can do it
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: with such an art. Now I'm not as into the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: stuff that used to be on you know, a little
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: bit vulgar and all that like, and i think Howard's
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: kind of steered away from that as too. And I
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: love the whack pack and all of that, but it's
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: from just pure interviewing standpoint. No one better than Howard Stern.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: He's about one hundred feet away and I'm with my
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: wife Erica, and I'm looking at him and like she
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: knows me. She's like, you're not gonna make I'm like,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: hell no, I'm not going like this guy right now,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: like just to be in the same pay I'm not
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: saying a word to him. He was also like in
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a VIP area behind a red carpet, like behind a
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: red velvet rope. So I'm like I'm not messing with it,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: but I to see Howard in person was surreal than
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to see Howard appreciating Jelly Roll was unbelievable. Now, where's
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the football tiant? Because everyone else was at preseason games. Trigger,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: what the hell are you doing at a Jelly Roll
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: concert out in Montalk. Well, here's the tiant. Turns out
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Jelly's a huge football fan. Jelly loves ball. That got
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: back to me. I didn't see Jelly Roll after the concert.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: There was an opportunity. I was like, we're getting out
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: of here, it's a mob scene. We'll leave in whatever.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: But I have since had correspondence with some of Jelly
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Rolls people, and it turns out he is a huge
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: fan of ball. Titans obviously there and there grew up,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: big football fan, big guy, obviously four hundred pounds whatever,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: he is three point fifty. I love the dude. Big
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: New York Times article on him this weekend also, But
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: here is my plea Aaron, we've done hip hop, We've
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: done rock. Who sang at the halftime show this year
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: in Vegas? Was the Bruno Mars again? Who'd we bring
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: out this year? I don't know who was usher? Was it?

  Speaker 1: We've done usher, am I allowed to say this? How
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: about we bring in some modern country? How about we?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, and look, if you want to bring in
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: classic country too, and you want to pay respect to
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the heroes they always like to bring out, Like all right, well,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: if we're gonna do hip hop, we have to also
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: bring out Doctor Dre and Snoop. If we're gonna do this,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: we're gonna bring rock. We gotta bring out this classic
• 8:26

• 9:01
  Speaker 2: put on all these hit songs. You can you can
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: go onto whatever streaming app you yeah, and find Chaboozy

• 9:48
  Speaker 1: with that classic stuff. But my pitch to the NFL
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: as an NFL employee, and I know they're getting this
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: from a thousand different directions. Let's go country this year.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: This is coming from a New Yorker, the New Yorker
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: who respects, you know, the two coasts a whole lot
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm not usually this guy. I'm telling you, I
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: watched this jelly roll captivate a Long Island, New York
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: crowd filled with celebrities and a hoy poloid whatever we
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: call it. Like I saw it. I watched in my
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: own two eyes at Howard Stern is getting into jelly roll.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: That means everyone in between can as well. So that
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: was my weekend. I'm going to talk football in a second,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: but Aaron, well, all that was going on my timeline
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: was being assaulted by content from this thing at the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Javit Center that I'll be honest not a sports collectibles guy.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I've interacted with several athletes. I don't know if I'm
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: waiting on a line behind one hundred different people dressed
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: in Aaron Judge jerseys to go catch a sniff of
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Mike Diego and Carney Lansford signing autographs. Tell me about
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Fanatics Fest and what that was, because I know you
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: were in attendance.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was there on Friday. I did not
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: go for the entire weekend, but I was there Friday.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: iHeart was recording, and first of all, like we set
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: up and I was just in the area where there
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: were like the NFL had a space, iHeart had a
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: space and we were just recording and I was like, okay,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: this is interesting, it's not that big. And then our
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: other producer, Jason was like, you have to go past
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: that other room, go into the other room, and then
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: you walk into.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: This there's like the VIP DP.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, this isn't VIP. This is like for the
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: general audience. There's a separate Like I was in the
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: offshoot room and you go into the main room and
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: it's like just tables and tables and tables of people
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: selling sports cards and surprisingly a lot of Pokemon cards.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I guess Pokemon cards are like very tied in with
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: sports cards in yes, exactly, and so like you would
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: have here's someone with like I don't know, forty five
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: boxes of tops ninety two, you know whatever, baseball cards
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: and then like the nineteen ninety eight edition.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I've got that. You got that pass pat LISTATUE Rookie,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I've got it.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: And so I mean, as a as a little kid,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I had some baseball cards, and I had some football cards,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: and definitely basketball cards. I don't think any of them
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: wound up anywhere other than like in a fat rubber
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: band or in a shoe.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Box, or in my father's generation, they were in the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: spokes of your bike in like a wheel.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I was shocked at how expensive these all were.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: And I I there was also one person selling comic books,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: which was like I was like, oh, well you have
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: like original the original Spider Man issue number one, or
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: like this is Superman's first appear. They didn't have that one.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it was wild.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: The collect it's all like because we used to go.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, I used to go to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: card shows as a kid. You go to a card
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: show and there would just be tables after tables, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: it's like here they are in cases. And some of
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the guys are professional collectors and some of them are
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: just like amateurs. Like I used to go to you know,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the Howell flea Market in New Jersey and like every Sunday,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: this guy Avery's Comics had all the cards, and like
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: you would go and you'd buy a starting lineup that
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: hadn't been opened from a couple of years ago, and like,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: look I got the I got the Mark Rippin starting
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: lineup for thirty dollars, but it was in KB two
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: years ago at for ten dollars, Like right, right, well,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: what are we looking at here? If you're telling me
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: how expensive these things are? Are these like to the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: next level that I wouldn't even imagine.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: So I took some pictures of some of the various cards,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: so mostly football cards there are. I did not realize
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: how expansive this market is. But there are like different
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: holographic versions of the same Beijon rookie card, or there's
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: one you know not to be not to poke a
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: player who's maybe down right now, so like no, there's
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: there's a Matt Jones one that's like and it says
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: like bombastic and he's like in the photo, and I
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: was like, you couldn't have picked like a photo of
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: him throwing the ball, like give him something. But they
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: also have a ton of old cards, Like there are
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: cards that, like you said, your dad probably opened and
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: had in his bike, except someone else's dad didn't put
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: it in the bike, and now it's worth four grand
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: or something. Yeah, So there are a lot of new cards.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: There were entire boxes of only Caitlin Clark cards. There
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: were there.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Were so many women's basketball WNBA cards.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: There are so many basketball cards that just have Wemby
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: as just like he is the selling.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Point questions for some question, Yeah, do they still have
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Beckett magazine? Does that still exist? Did you see any
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Beckett magazines around? That's where we used to have in
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: every month at Summer Camp. You'd get in the mail
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: of package and the Beckett magazine would have a little
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: green arrow up or down based on your card's value,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and they had every card ever made. I don't know
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: if Beckett still exists.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Uh, it's supposed it's got websites still. I don't know
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: if it exists in magazine form. It does actually still
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: just one dollar an issue. Great, yeah, so it must
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: still be a thing. But I have to imagine. I
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: talked to some of the people who ran stores, and
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: there were people from all over the country, like there
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: were I talked to one woman who her store was
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: two stops away in Manhattan, and I talked to some
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: people who had come from like Georgia, and it was
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: just like wow, And they said that this market blew
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: up over COVID for whatever reason, like people were stuck
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: inside and suddenly it was about buying collectibles and it
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: was about like opening it on stream and saying I
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: have this box of flear you know, two twenty one
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: NBA cards and let's see what rookies I'm going to
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: open here, and like pulling them each individually. It was
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: wild and it's not anything that I collect or buy,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: So I was just seeing and.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I knew it was big because I see Aaron raveled,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: like started a whole company around it. I see Michael
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Rubins involved. Any time he's involved, it feels like it's
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: glowing up. And obviously fanatics Meiss was a part of that.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: That's one part of it. But then there was this
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: whole other thing where like I'm watching Tom Brady get
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: interviewed by Steven A.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Smith.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Then I'm watching like jay Z showed up with DJ
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Collin and I'm like, this is all happening amidst Like, so,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Javit Center is freaking huge. I used to see the
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: car show there is it were you able to beautiful?
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: It was my first time being at Javit Center. It
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: was beautiful. Yeah, So I was not there was There
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: were a few moments of Stephen A. Smith being moved
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: about with huge security teams and you know, fans chasing
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: him down and trying to get you know, his audisself
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: say something to him, yeah, selfie with him, But there
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: were you could also pay, so.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: He paid separately for that to then go. But like,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: were you paying to go look at these different collectibles?
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: So that's no, no, So I mean we were working there,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: but I think everyone paid some feed just to get
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: in the door one day and then I saw so
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: many kids, little kids who were having the time of
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: their life, like parents, parents are there with them.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: From like my kids school, being like will you be
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: at fanatics fest?
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: And I was like, right, carry in like a box
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: like the kids or whatever.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson fan and Jalen Brunson's given autograph, so like
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: that's an opportunity to get that.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Grant Williams was there given an interview, and you know
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: he he supposedly I think he bought a box of
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: basketball cards for like ten grand or something, opened it
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: and got a Luca Rookie card that's worth a hundred.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I mean that's a great story. I mean, I'm always
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: a little guy. That's good.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: You're happy for him, right, that is that's not an
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: endorsement saying that everyone should go out and spend ten
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: grand to buy a box of cards. And expect you're
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: gonna ten times your money. But still, yeah, no, there
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: was a lot of you know, athletes there. I didn't see.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: I didn't see jay Z. I know Asap Rocky was there.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Like there were musicians there and everything too. But you
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: could go and get in line and get a photo
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: with an athlete or get an autograph with them.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: So there was so much this thing. Yeah, if you're
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: a listener of this podcast and say you live in
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the Tri state area, you're in Connecticut, New Jersey, and
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: they're having it in the spring, let's just say instead
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: of the summer, because you go there on summer plans,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: you'd say, check it out.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I think, like you said, I didn't grow up going
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: to card shows, but I would go to the flea
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: market every other weekend with my mom, and I would
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: as soon as we got there, like I would the cards,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: run to the guy who was selling cards, and I
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: would go look at the X Men cards and the
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: basketball cards and magic cards whatever. I just went straight
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: to the flea market or to the card table. And
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: if you have a kid who does that, yeah, they
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: probably would have loved this. Okay that this would have
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: been amazing. What was what were you.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Doing for iHeart there, Like, can I find a podcast
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: of you guys live at is it?
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: You?
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: And Jason and a coast.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Who was in No, I mean we were there helping
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: to record Bobby Bones, who's a iHeart Radio he has
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: a couple shows. Yeah, and he he actually bought a
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: box while he was there of cards that he wanted
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: to open. And I don't actually think he did while
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: we were there, because then they went into this whole
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: discussion about supposedly now everyone is using CT scans on
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: boxes of unopened cards.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: What does it mean?
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: So it's like a digital imaging thing you use in
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: medicine to like look at inside your body. And people
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: are able to use the box card card there to
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: see what's in it. So before they open this ten
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: grand box, there's there's one Lebron Rookie card that's never
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: been opened and it's probably worth upwards of one hundred grand,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: you know, six figures. And so if you throw this
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: box in the CT scan machine, you can see if
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: it's in there. If it's in there, you open the
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: box and then you sell that card, and if it's
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: not in there, you probably just sell the box to
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: someone else. At ten grand, and you know, they open
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: it thinking that the Lebron card might be in there,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: so they had a whole discussion about that, and he
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: ended up not opening the box that he bought because
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: he was too nervous that it had been scanned at
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: a ct scam machine. So, yeah, there were a bunch
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: of recordings, and I Heart had some radio stations that
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: were there doing stuff as well. But yeah, it was,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: it was. It looks like a lot of fun. All
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: the stuff I saw on socials the next couple of
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: days too, because I didn't go Saturday or Sunday, I
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: saw Gronk and Brady were there. Jersey's just walking through
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: the lot, which was cool.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: They had a good turnout. I mean, you're talking big
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: stars all over the place, all right, So let's fanatics
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: fest and we're giving it a if you're into it, though,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: if you're not, do I like that? All right? A
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: couple other topics before I get to my list of
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: ten breakout players, which I think everyone wants to hear
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: because you're doing your fantasy draft and all this thing.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: The Chiefs. The Chiefs on Saturday played all of their starters.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: They played against the Lions, number twos didn't win the game,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: that's all right. They were having such a fun time
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: out there, Aaron like, I don't know if you watched
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: it, it was like in the middle of the day on Saturday,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I was I was home, my son had you know,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: like baseball, and then it was like there was this
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: like lowl in the afternoon. I'm like, oh, Ill put
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: on an NFL network and the Chiefs and I'm like,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: mahomes Kelsey, was she Rice Padjaco. They're all out there
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: and like not one of them is bitching, one of
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: them is complaining that one of them is even questioning.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: They're in there. They're in a full lather mahomestress but
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: behind the back pass Like I don't know, man, like
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: if you're talking about is this team gonna buckle under
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the pressure of a three peet? I don't know if
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen a looser, more confident, more more loving,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: joyous team than the Chiefs that I saw on Saturday.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: And now like they're not going to play against the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Bears tomorrow night. When they played Precs, like they it
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: all like the what's the term, like the hey is
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: in the born like they're good. They'll wait two weeks
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: and then they'll be ready to go two weeks from
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: now when they play the Ravens. But like, I don't know, man,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I've got to make my Super Bowl pick. You know,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of hype and a lot of expectations
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: on who I'm gonna pick. I'm telling you now, two
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: weeks out, it might be disingenuous if I even come
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: on to this thing and say, well, I'm really considering
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: another team in the AFC. Like they look loaded, and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: gosh do they have fun doing.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: It, And just the comparison between as a Bills fan,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: like we are going through the Bills have so many
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: injuries in pre season and the Chiefs are, like you said,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: throwing behind the back passes and like Xavier Worthy looks incredible,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: and yeah, they they got to be all smiles over there.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: They look good. Broncos named bo Nix the starter. I
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: don't know if it was officially. I've known this. Ye hey,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: news flash, I've known this, and they weren't Zach Wilson
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: and Jaredson, and I love that. Like there's like news
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: like the second Sean Payton drafted a quarter twelfth overall,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Like he's probably gonna start, especially when he's got sixty
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: one career starts in college.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I want everyone to be careful here because Sean is
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: a cheerleader for his guys, and Sean I've known very well.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: And Sean came out and has just been raving and
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: did an interview with Chase Daniel and Diana Russini. They
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: traveled out to Denver, and like he was glowing about Bonnicks.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Bonix has been unbelievable in preseason. And the same people
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: not Diana Chase, but like the same people who who
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: mocked and scoffed at a bo Knicks draft pick in April,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of people did. They're like, Bonix is not
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: worthy of a top twelve pick. What is Sean Payton
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: doing with it? Are now being like, well, bo Nicks
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: is the man, Like he looks good and like he
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: has n't taken an NFL snap between that draft and
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: the hype machine. Now, I would just say, slow down,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: it's not going to be bow Knicks out of the
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: gates lighting the world on fire. I do think he
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: won the job outright. I do think he's an incredibly
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: accurate quarterback. But like I'm seeing a lot of people
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: that I follow in the media a lot of people
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I think have really strong voices in the NFL, like
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: already just assuming because he's starting and because Sean Payton
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: put his name behind it, that bone Knicks is gonna
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: be absolutely electric. Slow down, slow down. It's gonna take
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: a while. I'm telling you this. You're in the division
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: where you're facing Herbert and the Chargers and Mahomes. The Chiefs,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: like the Broncos are have to put up a lot
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: of points. I think they're gonna be much improved this year.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: But I just want to say, slow down on crowning
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: bow Knicks and expecting him to just come out of
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the gates and beat Drew Brees.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: A couple other items little housekeeping here as far as
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: NFL stuff goes hard knocks, be careful again, be careful
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: of the hard knocks hype machine. I always like to
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: proceed with caution here, But holy do they look fun
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: on offense. Like Caleb is electric on this show. And
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: they had him biked up against the Bengals in the
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: first half and just said, you know, are you nervous.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: He's like, no, I'm not. I never for get nervous.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Like oh, like don't put that on film.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Such but such. I loved that clip because it's him
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: saying I did get nervous the first time, and I
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: threw like an interception first play or something, and from
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: then on I was like, Okay, it's not worth it
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: to get nervous. Like I love that, Yes, it is
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: really risky to be like, no, I never got nervous,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: but that that story behind it. I love that there
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: is a there.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Is a very thin line and like a really small
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: like loophole to thread of being an arrogant, cocky asshole
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: and a confident, likable, charming, very talented guy.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: And I somehow I'm watching this Hard Knocks and I'm like,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: every time Caleb inches to the former, he like does
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: something that endears himself to the audience and to me,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, all right, I think he's on the ladder.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: A couple of things that I love. He was on
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: part of my take, and he explained that like the
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Heisman trust in him to the Heisman, and the story
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: that came out was that like he wasn't going to
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: go unless they like fulfilled his demands. His demands were
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: that his offensive lineman got to go with him, I've
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: never heard that before. Eventually the Heisman Trust agreed to that,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: and like he showed up with his entire offensive line.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I love that. There was this story that, you know,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: he's selfish guy coming out of the draft, all this stuff,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: and we've waxed poetic and talked a million words about
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: in the pre draft process about Caleb. But like I
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: told the story and I want to bring it up
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: again that he didn't work out, he didn't do all
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the stuff that everyone asked him to. He wasn't looking to,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: you know, throw at the combine, and there was a
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: lot of questions on that Friday night. Caleb's there with
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: a camera and I'm like, first of all, I don't
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: know what the hell is he a shutter bug? Now?
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Is he? You know? Ansel Adams? I have no idea,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: But he's there Friday night. No other quarterbacks are there.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: They work out Saturdays. It's defensive back drills, and Caleb
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: was there just to support his few teammates who played
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: at USC and he was like, oh, to be there
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: to cheer them on. I'm like all right. And then
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: he was taking photos because that's like a hobby is
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I love that cool guy. The last part
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: is hard Knocks reveals that like as much as he's
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the first overall pick and a signing bonus was thirty
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: five million dollars. What I dig about Caleb you're watching this,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: he doesn't carry himself like he's above Austin Reid, who's
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: an undrafted guy out to Western Kentucky via West Florida.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: He doesn't carry himself above Brett Rippon, and he certainly
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't carry himself above Tyson Bagent, who started games last
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: year and comes out of Division two Shepherd. In fact,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: if anything, he's taking the piss out of himself throughout
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the show. He's the one who at the Rookie Show
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: bombed singing John Legend, and like he's loving these other
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: guys and cheering them on and they are equals on
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: the sideline, Like, I don't know, man, there's no veteran
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: in that room. Like you look at Jaden Daniels. He's
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: got Marcus Mariota, you go up to uh, you know,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: look at what JJ McCarthy had before the injury. He's
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: got Sam Darnold, And the other rookie is like Drake
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: may jor Kobe Burssett's there and it's kind of like
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: one of these dynamics where it's like, all right, we're
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: gonna learn from this guy. Look if Brett Rippen's the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: veteran in the room. Brett Rippon was cut by the
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Rams after one game against the Packers last year. It
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: played so poorly. I don't think mcs they ever wanted
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: to see him, you know, have to dress up again.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: They like released him in after the Green Bay game.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: He's the veteran in the room, and I so respect
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: the fact that Caleb's like still seeding respect to these
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: guys because some of them are older, some of them
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: have been there, and like Tyson Bagett started a couple
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: games in the NFL, and for that, Caleb respects it
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: and he's treating them like equals, at least from what
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: we can see, even though he's obviously the far superior talent. Overall,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I really loved the Giants off season hard Knocks. I'm
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: liking the Bears hard Knocks. One thing I thought was
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: really cool, which I don't recall ever, like being shown
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Ryan Poles is trying to get Matthew Judon. In the
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: last episode, he's trying drap woman hands up, going to
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Atlanta and the Ryan Poles basically is I'm not gonna
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: say that he said this, but like what I like,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: trust the process in this one, where like all along,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: like they wanted to sign him to an extension, Judnon
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: didn't want to sign an extension. They wanted to get
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: him locked up for long term. Judah wasn't looking to
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: do that, and like Poles was like, all right, then,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I guess we have to let him go somewhere else.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: And Atlanta was willing to sign him and willing to
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: play him just on this one year deal and willing
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: to trade that third round pick. But like when a
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: trade is being discussed, usually teams are really cagey about
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: what gets out if it doesn't happen. The Bears have
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: final edit on Hard Knocks, and we're cool with having
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: that in there that like, hey, now, look if Matthew
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Judon goes on and has twenty sacks or has fifteen
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: sacks and is a beast on Atlanta like the film's
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: out there that Poles was like, no, we're not gonna
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: bend on that thing. We're going to stick to the process,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: which I don't know, I kind of respect.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it reminds me a lot of the like you
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: were mentioning the Giants hard knocks, where they're in the
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: room and they're saying, these are the receivers that we
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: would take. Yeah, we like neighbors over Rome, but if
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison is there, maybe we take him. Oh no,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: actually I have neighbors over Marvin Harrison. All right. I
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: mean like hearing all those discussions come out so soon
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: after the draft, not ten years later, when we already
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: know some of the legacy of these players, it's it's
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: really interesting and it is a little risky.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, let's get to my ten breakout players of
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Can we get some music? Can we
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: do some? Can you play me some? Can you play
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: me some jelly roll or some Chaboozi or we can't
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Here is some non copyrighted Shahboozy esque music goes here.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Kevin Shaboozi inserted here. All right, here is my list.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: If you're not aware where I was talking about Caleb
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Williams and how he's not he walks that theme line
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: and kind of walks on the right side of not
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: being a cocky, arrogant asshole when it comes to my
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: preseason predictions. I'm on the way other end of that.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I am a absolute for brains, annoying person, insufferable in many ways.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: But I usually am talking to the coaches throughout summer
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm always asking. And this is one thing that
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I actually put work into. I say, give me a
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: breakout player that nobody's talking about. So, with no further ado,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: ten players and I think are going to break out
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: standout seasons that aren't obvious names. We start out in
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Denver with a five foot seven running back out of
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Youngstown State. His name Jaliel McLaughlin. Jalil McLaughlin, twenty three
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: years old, played in every game last season. Okay, did
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: have seventy six carries, But he is your Darren Sprolls
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty four season. We know Javonte Williams
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: is going to be the headline guy. They drafted Isaac
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Austin May out of college where he's going to get
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of carries. But Jalil McLaughlin Denver Broncos scatback
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Darren Sprolls type. Now what I draft him in fantasy football? Maybe,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: but I would say more than anything, he's the guy
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: that Scott Hansen's going to be like, Holy cow, We've
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: got another Joel McLaughlin play this week where he is
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: going to be the safety valve in a lot of
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: ways on third down and he's going to be one
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: of these dynamic players and special teams. Five foot seven
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: player for the Denver Broncos. Picture Darren Sprolls with the Saints.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: That's what we're looking at. Number nine. A player who
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: was highlighted on Hard Knocks this week and I was
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: almost furious that they stole it from me because no
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: one's been talking about him. Punter for the Chicago Bears,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Tory Taylor. He is a twenty seven year old at
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: a Melbourne, Australia, was a Australian rules football player and
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: if you watch college football, you know he has been
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: dominant at Iowa, maybe the best player out of Iowa
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: in the last several seasons. And that includes all these
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: tight ends and defensive ends and the offensive linemen that
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: they've been churning out. Highest drafted punter since twenty nineteen
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: when the forty nine ers drafted Mitch with Shnowski the
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. And it's the Windy City and there's a
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: ton of elements. It's as if they drafted an offensive
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: weapon with this guy. Everything I have heard out of
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: camp is that he is an absolute game changer and
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: he will be a breakout player. Australian punter the first
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: time I ever put a punter on this list. Tory
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Taylor is number nine. Number eight, we go to Buffalo
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir. Obvious reasons here. Gave Davis's gone, Stefan Diggs
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: is gone. Who's going to step up? I think Dalton
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Kinkaid might end up being the biggest pass catcher in
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: this offense. I also think James Cook and Ray Davis
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: are going to play huge roles. Khalil Shakir is going
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: to have to have a career breakout season. He's entering
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: his third year. He's had some big plays. He was
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the only Bills wide receiver besides Diggs and Davis with
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: more than two hundred receiving yards last year. Obviously, they
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: brought in Keyon Coleman. We've got some other veterans they've got,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: but I think Shaki is going to have a huge
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: year for the Buffalo Bills. And Josh Allen has expressed
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: how much he likes throwing to the guy number seven
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: on the list. We go to Vegas and we go
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: to a pass rusher and it's not Max Crosby, and
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: it's not Christian Wilkins, and it is not their big
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: stud defensive end Tyree who they got last year in
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: the draft. It's Malcolm Kots out of Buffalo, twenty six
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: years old, third round pick twenty twenty one. Koons last
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: year very quietly ranked second on the Raiders in both
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: quarterback hits with seventeen and sacks, and all eight sacks
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: came under Antonio Pierce as the interim head coach. I
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: really like what Koons did. He's the kind of guy
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: on Buffalo that no one's talking about. But you'll be
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: shocked when you turn up and you're watching it. You're like,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: holy shit, Malcolm Coons has you know, thirteen sacks this season?
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Where did that come from? Well, there's a tension going
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: acrossby attention going to Wilkins, and I think Malcolm Coons
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: showed that he can do the job on the other
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: end of those guys. This season. Number six, we go
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: to New York and we don't go to the Jets,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: we go to the Giants. Deonte Banks six foot two,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: two hundred pound corner second year guy for New York.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: He was drafted last year in the first round out
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: of Maryland. So much attention on Cavon Thibadeau, so much
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: attention on Dexter Lawrence. The Giants have quietly added some
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: real talent in the defensive backfield the last couple of years.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I like Banks, I like flat out of LSU. But
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: I think Banks enters the twenty twenty four season with
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of eyes on him. And think about the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: guys in the division. AJ Brown, Deavonte Smith, Terry McLaurin,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Johan Dotson, CD Lamb, Brandon Cooks like he's going to
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: grab those number one players and he's gonna have to
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: do the job. Deontay Banks of the Giants is number six.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Let's keep rolling number five. Another defensive back I am going.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Brian Ranch for the Detroit Lions last year was a
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: second round pick out out of Alabama. Played in fifteen games,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: had three interceptions, had a touchdown. He led Detroit with
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: thirteen passes defended. They were trying to pick on him
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: in the safety spot. I think he's an awesome player.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: He showed flashes last year, missed a couple games with injuries.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I think Brian Branch steps up and has like one
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: of those all pros Pro Bowl seasons at the safety
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: spot for Detroit, working under the Great Aaron Glenn. Number four,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: we go to Tampa and I'm going with a pass
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: rusher ya Ya Dyabi, Yes, Yaya Dabi ya Ya. Last
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: year had a breakout rookie moment or two. But I
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna put it all together. I'm gonna put
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: it on paper right now. Ya Ya. Dabby's gonna finish
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: in the top ten in sacks in the NFL. He
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: wears number zero. I love his game, I love his personality.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: He does a whole dance when he gets a sack.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to be electric this year. Ya
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Ya Dabi as a pass rusher. Now we're down to
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: the final three. Number three is a third year tight
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: end for a team that I don't think I've mentioned
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: on the podcast since the draft, maybe when they took
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: a wide receiver at third overall. I'm going or fourth overall.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I'm going Trey McBride out of the Arizona Cardinals organization.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Completely anonymous team right now on offense. But just wait,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: he and Kyler started picking things up at the end
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: of the year. He led Arizona last season with one
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: hundred and six targets. He also had eighty one catches
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: with almost one thousand receiving guards. He was second on
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Arizona and receiving touchdowns too, and I think he's only
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: going to get better. Trey McBride tight end. We always
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: talk about Kelsey and Kittle, and then Laporta entered the
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: conversation last year, and everyone's waiting on Pits, Everyone's waiting
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: on Hockinson. Hockinson's had some big games and obviously has
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: had some big seasons. I think Trey McBride emerges this
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: year and he's that dude. All Right, we're down to
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: the final two. We preface this, Yere. I was really
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: tempted to put Bijon Robinson in this top two. Aaron,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: you're listening to this. If I was to go on
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Good Morning Football Friday and I'm like, Bjeon Robinson's my
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: breakout player. Would you say he's already broken out or
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: would you say that's fair?
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: I would say he's not broken out because I think
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: I think that what his potential is and what everyone
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: expected from him last year, he didn't quite reach. He
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: looked incredible. He was my favorite player to watch with
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: the overhead cam where it follows him and you see
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: him drinking everyone out. He was incredible, but it was
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: just like I want him to be CMC, like I
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: want him to be okay, amazing.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: So I've got to make a decision because I'm putting
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: this list out. So far, I love my list. Number
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: two of my list is certainly not a breakout player yet,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: so I think he qualifies. But I also like Bijeon
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: as my number one guy, and right now I don't
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: have him on the list. Tell me how you would
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: sort this out and if I can have a time
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: for first. Number two is Kenneth Walker the third? Okay,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: I love this guy's game and he was a second
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: round pick in the twenty twenty two NFL draft, but
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: he has been hampered with injury. He's had one thousand
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: scrimmag yards and nine touchdowns in each of his first
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: two seasons. He's the first player in Seahawks' history to
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: do that. But he hasn't had that breakout year, and
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: he hasn't certainly had that year where you're like, holy cow,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: He's one of those guys. I think Kenneth Walker is
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: one of those guys. And I think so in this
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: grub offense, that that's the offensive coordinator in Seattle. And
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I go back to Mike McDonald coaching against Kenneth Walker
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: in college, and Kenneth Walker was playing for Michigan State
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: and Mike McDonald was for Michigan, And I might ask
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: you to google this so we could patch this together
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: so it's quicker. What were the numbers that Kenneth Walker
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: had against Michigan his final year as a Michigan State spartan,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: because Mike McDonald was the defensive coordinator for the Michigan
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Wolverines that day.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: And if you have it up there, just that game,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: just that one.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Game, that one game. I think it was twenty twenty.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Two, So I can give you a small bit of
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: what he had twenty twenty twenty.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Let's think here, how if the twenty twenty two draft
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: is where he was selected, give me twenty twenty one
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Michigan State versus Michigan Kenneth Walker's statline.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: He ran for one hundred and ninety three yards and
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: five touchdowns.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Get the hell out of here with that. So if
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: your head coach is like, all right, I'm taking the
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: job in Seattle, and I got this charbonnet and I've
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: got you know, a DK Metcalf and a gino Oh,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: I've got that guy. That guy terrorized me. Trust me.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: They know what he can do. And I think that
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: game's highlights just like played tricks and Mike McDonald said
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: he's the new head coach of Seattle. That was good.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll make it too much of a deal of it.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Everything I hear is that he's healthy. He's the dude.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker is number two, which leads to number one.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: I have to fix this and do something. So I'm
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: gonna unveil this on Good Morning Football, and it's gonna
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: be like here's Sugger's listenever, and I might find a
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: way to be artful about this. I might move Walker back,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: I might scratch branch whatever, We'll figure it out. Number
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: one on my lists is Jaden Daniels. Jaden Daniels to
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders. And maybe I'm being asymmetric because everyone's
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: talking about Klub and I just think that I think
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Jayden Daniel is gonna be the offensive rookie of the year.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a CJ. Stroud like season,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: and I go by. Cliff Kingsbury is offensive coordinator, raving
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: about him to me, and I go by knowing that
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Cliff had Kyler as a rookie and was able to
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: get him going right from go Kyler was great his
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: rookie year. It was really fun to watch. I go by.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: This quarterback has played in so many big games, has
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: played against so much a list competition, and has been
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: so good in camp that this is my asymmetric thing.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: I'm putting Jaden Daniels as my break out player of
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: the year. And then you're gonna say, well, where does
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Caleb fall on that list? And I'm like, I don't know.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: I think Caleb is good too, or where's Botnicks go?
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But like Aaron before, as of workshopping this,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: how do you do you put bijon one and maybe
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: put Jayden two and Walker three? And then or do
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: I is it more? You know, boom, It's I go,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels is the breakout player of the year.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: I mean Jayden Daniels number one?
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Is that?
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: I like that?
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: And you know Caleb on the list. It's like a station.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, I think you know, like you're saying, Caleb
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: is looks incredible, but Caleb also has this incredible supporting cast.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: And not that Terry McLaurin is not a great wide receiver,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: but he is not DJ Moore, Keenan, Allen Roman doonsay
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: and I love Johan Dotson. I think you know, I
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: think Johan Dotson is like a very good player. He
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: has incredible hands, and he he's just seems like a
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: nice guy. Like watching interviews with him. He didn't follow
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: up his rookie year last year, and so there the
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: the Washington team is like brand new, and if Jade
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: and Daniels can overcome that and have a really high
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: perform in year as a rookie, that would be So what.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Do you do with my Bijon?
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: I love that?
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: Do you include him? Do you say last year he
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: broke out? Do I stick him in there? And I
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: mean Brian Branch is a safety. If I don't put
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Brian Branch on this list, no one's gonna blink twice?
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Do I go ya ya at five? Okay? Four? Kenneth Walker.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: I like Kenneth above Bijon as a breakout.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: I think Jon's better than Kenneth. Who'd I have?
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you had try McBride at three, you had yah
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: yah at four, McBride at three.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let's go this that. We're gonna workshop this
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: five Yah yeah for McBride three, Walker two, Bjeon one,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Jaden And is that like holy, that's it? Or someone
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: at home gonna say, how is Bijon Robinson a breakout player?
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: He's going first overall in fantasy? Maybe I just scrap
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Bejon altogether.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: Say yeah, I think if you left Bijeon off, no
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: one would be would be like Wow, He's He's forgetting
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: the most obvious thing because I think, like me saying
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: Bijeon is not has not broken out yet, is more
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: because of how high I think he can get. I
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: think he looked amazing last year.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, with no further ado, we have our list. That's it. Uh.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Programming note, Good morning Football. Thursday morning, I'll be at
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Jets camp. I'm watching practice, interviewing Aaron Rodgers, not for
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: the show, but for my production meeting needs Friday, standard
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: issue whatever, Saturday, CBS Local, New York. I'll be with
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Iron Eagle, and I'm calling the Jets Giants preseason game.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: Let's hope we get some starters. If not, I better
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: do some research quick. I've been doing it, but like gosh,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: there's only so much Quantes Stiggers information I can offer you.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: He's the chance defensive back. That's a rookie. We'll see.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: I hope to do a good job, but who knows.
