• 0:48
  Speaker 4: he excited for the draft?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: What do you mean now you're a football.
• 0:53
  Speaker 6: God blessed Yes, I absolutely can't wait for Day one?
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Are you confused as I about aj Brown? There is
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: so much turmoil inside the Eagles organization that you know,
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: a few writers at ESPN dot com just did.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: A deep dive, and I love a good deep dive.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Into an organization, but we're deep diving into an organization
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: that has been to the Super Bowl twice in the
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: last five years and should have two and all the
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: turmoil is surrounding AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts and kind
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: of that relationship, and I just find it puzzling that
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: this team has been able to have the success that
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: they've been able to have while dealing with this.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Internally, it's pretty incredible.
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, this is probably why it's so intriguing.
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: Like you said, if they weren't any good, it'd be like, oh, okay,
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: it's another team. It's a rotting from the inside. But
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: the AJ Brown thing is weird because it does feel
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: like everybody involved wants a separation. Yes, it doesn't feel
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: like there's any reason for them. Even the fans are
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: just like, come on, like, give this a rest. We
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: haven't seen great AJ Brown in a little bit now,
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: and if he's unhappy, let's just move on. I think
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: it's just the more intriguing part is just the whole
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: Jalen hurt situation. Is he you know a problem, is
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: he's limiting them? Is it one of those you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: the devil you have is better than the one you don't,
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: because you know, maybe they want to move on, but they're.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Like, we won a super Bowl with this dude.
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: We can't even though the problems are right in front
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: of them, Like there's a lot of tough decisions to
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: be made, which is why I'm like, why not go
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: ahead and make the AJ Brown one, even if you
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: don't think you're going to get great value in return.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: The Eagles also haven't really helped themselves when it comes
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: to fueling the AJ Brown speculation because they go out,
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: they trade for Dontavian Wicks, they sign Hollywood Brown, they
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: sign Elijah Moore. You're counting how many receivers they add,
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: and you're like, somebody's not gonna make this roster. One
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: of the things that makes the most sense is to
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: just trade AJ Brown.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: None of those names are as talented or as good
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: as AJ Brown. In fact, put all those guys together
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: and they're not as good as AJ Brown or talent
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: or as talented as AJ Brown.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: How old is AJ Brown? He's like twenty nine years old.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I mean for a physical wide receiver.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Twenty eight? What young?
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: Twenty eight for a physical wide receiver that you know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: I feel like that's that's pretty old. I think he's
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: on the down side of his career in terms of productivity,
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: and it feels like whenever I watch him, the only
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: separation he gets is effectively on just comebacks and you know,
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: some timing routes and stuff like that. So I don't
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: know how valuable he is right now, which is why
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: I'm saying, hey, I would trade him. But you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: every year but one, he's had a thousand yards, so
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: it's hard to predict him not having one of those.
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Well, listen, I'm tired of the story. I'm confused by
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: the story. I think Hawie Rosman is also confused by it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: He's tired of it. He is getting snarky, but it's
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: a story of his own creation, so he has to
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: deal with the questions. He was holding a news conference yesterday,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: as he I believe, and someone asked him about AJ Brown?
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: What does that mean for a J? Brown? Feel like
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: if he is traded, you have kept there at wide receiver.
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: The odds are that I'm answering this question anywhere else,
• 4:09
  Speaker 8: Like really, like do you think that's like fifty do
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: you think that's seventy five percent? An eagle is.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Such a great response by Ali.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: It's funny, like you really think you're gonna get me,
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: like you're gonna ask you questions so good that I'm
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: gonna say, yeah that A J. Brown are real J.
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: I know reporters go into those press conferences with the
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: mindset of we have to ask the question because our
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: fan base is gonna want this question asked, no matter
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: what the response is. But do you think at all
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: in that reporter's mind when he was asking the question,
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: he's like, maybe he just says, Hey, we're gonna just
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: trade him to the Patriots.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be the time. This is it, this
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: is the time I'm gonna get him.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: That's literally the thought, like, you can't not ask it.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: What if they're about to change their stance on it,
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: what if it has to happen at some point? It
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: might be now when I asked this question.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: So you have of some experience reporting here, are you
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: saying that question needs to be asked In the event
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: that he answers it, he decides, Hey, today's the day
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: I'm going to answer this reporter's question.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: I forget what the actual question was right there, But yeah,
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: every time the GM is available, you've got to ask
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: the pressing question.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: If there has been rumors about a person being traded.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: It's the same question he's been asked a thousand times, Iowa,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Sam hit it one more time.
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: What does that mean for A J. Brown?
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Do you feel like if he is traded, you have
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: kept there at wide.
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: Receiver at the odds are that I'm answering this question
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: any different than I answered anywhere else, Like really, like
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: do you think that's like fifty percent?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Do you think that's seventy five percent? As A Brown's
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: an eagle upon review?
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: It's a pretty slick question because he's just saying, Hey,
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: for whatever reason, if we don't have AJ Brown, what
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: do you think.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: About the wide receiver debt currently available?
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Yes, and he's not going to fall for that one,
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: because if he praises the wide receive depth, they're gonna say.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Wow, that sounds like A J.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Brown's available for trade.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: He went out of his way to say AJ Brown's
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: an eagle. At the end, Well, that's his life. Been
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: using it, Yeah, I know.
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: I've been in press conference settings. Yeah, it's one of
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: my least favorite part trying to ask questions to coaches
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: because these reporters are sharks, and I think the reporters
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: when I'm in there and I have a question that
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: I want to ask, they could smell the fear coming
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: off me. Yeah, like, hey, we know, all we have
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: to do is just bully this kid off the first
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: three words he says, and he is gonna immediately tuck
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: his tail between his leg and retreat.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Now, if you went in there with a radio microphone
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: to be a different story, because you're a different person,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: You're a more confident person.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You tell them all to go fuck themselves.
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: You got to go in with behind the mike, Taylor
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: and just start yelling, hey, coach, looking good today, and
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: then it just prepares you for when you're about to
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: ask a question. He knows though, that loudmouth over there
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: is definitely going to go off.
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: There's there's just something so uncomfortable for me where you
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: don't know where the next question is going to come.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I'm from.
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: Yes, the only press conferences that I've liked is when
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: I've gone to UNC and the SID, the sport information
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: director there is like, Okay, we're gonna go to Megan
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: in row two first, and then Taylor in row two, and.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: It's like the Mimmy heat games. They pass around a
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: microphone and they only give it to you and question right.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: So Taylor likes when it's organized, not a free for all.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: But and I understand why you would be confused, like
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: no one knows who's going next. I don't like that
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: environment either. I'm intimidated by.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: You understand it, but you don't remember.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: I just go and I don't care who the fuck
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: is sitting there, and I don't care what their credentials are.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I have a question, I'm gonna ask it. I don't
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: care if I have a mic.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: When they sent Taylor to Mac Collins where he would
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: just have to yell question to his best friend.
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: Even in that situation, I was like, man, I'm kind
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: of uncomfortable. Mac is looking at me like, are you
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: gonna ask anything? I'm like, I'm kind of waiting for
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: for Mike Reese to finish asking a question.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: You were showing some sort of respect to Mike re Man.
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: There's certain people if you're at if it's their super
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: Bowl and they're the beat, right, come on, man, Reese's
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: a Boston legend.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: No, I'm not saying that he's not a Boston legend.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: I'm just like, but Mac Collins is Taylor's best friend.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: It's the one time where he's got something over Mike Reese.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: You know, use it.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Reporter's over, Bros.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Lex Reese.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: This is my guest.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: You'll ask a question when I'm done, and not a
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: second sooner. Who else is intimidating in that in that situation?
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Salpal? Yeah, if you're in a Philadelphia Yeah, Tim Reynolds,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: if you ask a question.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: If anyone other than salth Pal is asking questions in
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: an Eagles press conference, we're making a big mistake.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Put it on a poletale.
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: If you're in one of those little breakout situations with
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: an athlete and it's a Philadelphia player and Salpal starts
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: walking toward, you got to clear out, Yes, just clear out,
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: Let him have his time, and then we'll continue with
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: what we were doing.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing here we should get him on and ask
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: him this.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: That francessa who did not attend a ton of press
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: conferences or news conferences, but.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: What he did, he just assumed that he was the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: league guy, right, I can see that.
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So this kind I wish mikey A was here
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: because this kind of happened to us when we were
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: at Radio Row for Super Bowl where we were trying
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: to talk to Tommy DeVito and mikey A Mike I'm
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: I'm behind mikey A holding the recorder for him, and
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: mikey A is trying to get in there so we
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: could ask him chicken marsala or chicken parmesan, of course,
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: and the guy from Syracuse, where Tommy DeVito went to school,
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: is looking at mikey As like, don't even think about
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: wasting my time right now with those kind of questions.
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: I have to ask Tommy DeVito about how Syracuse led
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: him to this moment being the third string quarterback in
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: this Super Bowl.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's so important. Yeah, I mean, that's so funny.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: The kids at Syracuse. He's a student at Syracuse.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: No, I believe he was with some Syracuse news affiliates.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: He's looking over at mikey Ya is like, do you
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: understand the future that I'm trying to have here? And
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: it's not coming up to it, dude, and asking him
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: chicken marsala or chicken pacata or whatever the chicken question was.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Wait, so you're just going back to Hawie for second.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: If you're that reporter, are you asking it? Is he
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: what's more important? You're asking career? No, but you're asking
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: it from Syracuse. You're asking it because this is the
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: day he might answer the question, or because your bosses
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: expect you to answer, to ask that question even though
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: it's been asked a thousand times.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Which one the question about A. J.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Brown?
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: Oh okay, I thought we were talking about chicken pacata. No,
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: not that question, that question, but yeah, absolutely, that one
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: you have to ask at that point.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: The other because if your bosses, or because it's your job,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: because you know you're not getting an answer there.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Same thing.
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: It's because you're you're every time you're worried about your job,
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: it's because you're worried about your boss.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you can't just say, hey, boss, he's not
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: going to answer it. I don't want to ask it today.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: If you want to gamble every single day and not
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: ask the question time, but the day that they, you know,
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: finally let something out right, you're like, damn it, I
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: didn't ask today, right, this other guy asked, and I
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: got beat on the story.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I asked chicken parmer, chicken marsala.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: To be fair to mikey A.
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: If your two options are hearing about Tommy to veto
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: how his years at Syracuse impacted him to become this
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: backup quarterback journey or does he prefer tier Massoux or Lasagna. Yeah,
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: you'd rather hear the tier Masoux versus Lasagna.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: Yes, I've seen the Kurt Warner movie. I don't think
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: his answer is gonna be any better than that. I
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: need to know hits the Italian bona fide.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: Of course, but not everyone is, you know, is as
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: comfortable as we are in our jobs with what we're doing.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: This kid needs to make a living.
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: This poor kid probably looked at mikey A and said,
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: you know what, I think, I'm just changing careers because
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: if that's.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: What I'm gonna have to do. Eventually, has asked this
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: guy which chicken dick in the box?
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: That guy out too, mikey A.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: I mean what his poor kid was also like fifty
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: years old.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: He was a cage event.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: And he was trying to tell the young whipper snappers, Hey,
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: no chicken mars salar or chicken palm questions.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I have a serious.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Surgeries question to ask him. That's why I've kept this
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: job for twenty five years.

• 14:07
  Speaker 4: from Pittsburgh April twenty third through the twenty fifth. Ian
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Where does the draft rank for you? In terms of
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: sporting events on the calendar. For me, it's number two,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: right behind augusta.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: Wow, oh on the whole calendar. Yes, I mean yes, yes,
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: it's See it's weird for me because when you cover
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: it and you're involved in it, it's not like sitting
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: on the couch dricking a beer watching the Masters. So
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: like I don't know that I can even compare it
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: to something I would watch.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, you know what I mean.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: Yes, but I will say this in my calendar, it's
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: my favorite, Like it's the best, you know, like the
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: because like free agency is intense and very very important
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: in my world, right because like in a lot of ways,
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: pretty miserable, Like you don't sleep, you're on the phone
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: all the time, You're stressed NonStop. You know, every great
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: scoop that you have is followed by someone else having
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: something else, or something didn't work out as you wanted,
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: or it's just it's extremely stressful. Playoffs are great, but
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: there's always head coaching searches during it. Super Bowl is fun,
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: but we have an eight and a half hour pregium show,
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: so I'm always like so tired by the game. Draft
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: is just the best, Like it's stressful, yes, but it's
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: so exciting. It's like weeks and weeks and weeks of
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: work and then you just get to watch it all
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: unfold and like in real time figure it out with
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: the rest of the world, and it's like, you know,
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: the tension and the drama. Like I just I love
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: it so much.
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: Do you like it more or less that it's now
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: longer and kind of drug out over a course of
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: several days.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: I never really knew it when it was just two
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: days because I started when it was I think I
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: think when they added the third day. But like, I
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: like it now as it is because as much as
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: I like, like, hey, who'd you pick? Who'd you pick?
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: Who'd you pick? I like the analysis and the is
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: this team going to trade? And what does this mean?
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: Like I like all that stuff, and you know, I
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: like going to bed on Thursday and being like, all right,
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: somebody's on the clock for thirty three. A couple of
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: teams will make some trades based on the players they
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: just got, like, you know, let's have a good two days.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: And I just, you know, I think the whole thing
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: is pretty awesome. Honestly.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: How do you feel about the first team, the team
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: with the first pick in the NFL draft this year,
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: it would be the Las Vegas Raiders having two minutes
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: instead of five.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's go, You've had the entire offseason to
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: figure it out.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: I think it's nine, isn't it seven? Is it seven? Now?
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: It's five too many? As far as I'm concerned, you know, I.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Want all of it. No, because I sit there in
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: front of my camera with a microphone and you know
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: the whole world is watching. I'm gonna make sure I
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: get something to say. I want to make sure I
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: get to jump in there, you know, So like, should
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: be twenty minutes, set up the drama. You know, you
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: don't want to just get on with it. You want
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: to milk it. So yeah, I would say should be longer.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Where are you on Mendoza as far as a number
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: one overall pick? Like, where are you on his game?
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Do you think it's going to translate to the NFL?
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Well, I would say, first of all, from the Raiders perspective,
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: they seem very convicted that this is their guy, and
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: that's that's where you want to be picking a quarterback
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: number one. You'd like to say, like all right, like
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: this is the guy and for quarterbacks. To me, it's
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: either like, this guy's worthy of the number one pick
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: or he's not a starter, right, because like, if you
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: have any starting quarterback in the NFL who is worthy
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: of getting a contract extension, in other words, he's your
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: starter so much so where you're like, we're gonna put
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: fifty million dollars or sixty million or whatever it is
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: behind him, he is worthy of being the number one pick.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: So the question for Fernanda Mendoza is like is he
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: a guy? That's it. It's is he a guy? And
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: I believe that he is a guy. The Raiders think
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: he is a guy, and you know, we'll not get
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: We're not going to know until he gets out there,
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: probably by the third year. But just based on what
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: he is like mentally and intangible wise, seems like he's
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: headed for a pretty bright future.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Is tie a guy? I was going to make that
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of question, but I question, yes, Yes, it's
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: a good question.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: So it's a good question. And I think quarterbacks so
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: often are judged based on the body of work, and
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: he doesn't have a long body of work. You know,
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: it's not like, you know, like even the sort of
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: sleeper quarterbacks of that success. Brock Perdy would be a
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: good example. Have a long history of starting, so you've
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: seen a lot, You've been in a lot of situations,
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: so you can react like you know, you're you've you've
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: done enough to where people can say, like, based on
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: what he's done, he's going to be successful. I don't
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: know what Ty Simpson. He hasn't done a lot and
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: I think by the end of the year this year
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: he wasn't playing great. But he's got a lot of tools,
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: he's got good makeup, and you've seen him do it.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: So I think it's a little more of a toss up.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: But you know, my guess is he's probably a late one.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: So that's more of an understandable investment as opposed to
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: like someone taking him. What's just a you know second overall.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: And there was a report earlier this week about Ruben
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: Bain from Miami and him being involved in a twenty
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: twenty four accident in which a person later died. What
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: do NFL teams know about that and how do you
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: think it will impact him on draft night?
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: I would say teams have known everything about it. You know,
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: they really have had a pretty good idea, you know,
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: probably since before the start of the year. I mean,
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: you know, I've heard about it. It was it was
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: not exactly a secret. I mean, there was a public
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: GoFundMe page, there was a public charge, and he was
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: a very high profile player, like this is something that
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: a lot of people knew about. They've been able to
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: question him directly, They've been able to get the info.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: You know, we also know the facts of the situation,
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: which are his charge was dismissed, he was not charged
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: with speeding, there was no DUI tests at the scene,
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: you know, so there's there's a lot there. But teams
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: have had the ability to do the due diligence and find,
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: you know, at least some sort of a comfort level
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: with what obviously has been a tragedy in a non
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: football sense.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: I find what's happening here with the Philadelphia Eagles to
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: be fascinating from the standpoint They've had an amazing amount
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: of success over the last four or five years, and
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: yet there's still turmoil inside that organization with Jalen Hurts
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: and AJ Brown And I know Howie Roseman just had
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: to talk about it again. How do you think the
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: AJ Brown situation is going to play out in Philadelphia.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say most likely you're looking at a trade.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, look, anything's possible, and I've seen seen things
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: that I knew for sure were going to happen end
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: up not happening, you know. I mean the Max Crosby trade.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: I think this year was a really good example of that.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: But if you say to me, what's my guess as
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: far as most likely, I mean, he's probably traded to
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: the Patriots in June. I think that's what most people believe.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: And that's not a surprise, that's not news. That's sort
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: of you know, it seems like that's the way it's heading.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: It's just you know, everyone's in a little bit of
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: a standstill South already cap wise, because you know, for
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: the Eagles, they they could do it now, but they'd
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: have to, you know, move some things around, and so
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: I think probably everyone ends up waiting, waiting until June.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: So it benefits them in some sort of financial capacity
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: if they wait until after June first.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: Is that?
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Is that what it is?
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Just simply it's uh, it's a forty million dollar
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: dead cap hit if they do the trade now, it's
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: only twenty million dollars if they do it after June first.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: Ian, This is like when we talk in NFL. For
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: whatever reason, we got a couple of Jets fans on
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: this podcast. All right, he's probably talking more to in fact,
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: that credit happened. This is our super Bowl man, leave
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: me alone. Me come on, I credit Stu gots In
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: Mike Greenberg for keeping the Jets relevant nationally because they're
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: fans rich real, yeah, famously, of course. Yes, I've heard
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: some things that the Jets are excited about a certain
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: wide receiver falling to them at number sixteen.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: So anytime we get a chance to.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: Talk up a possible positive for the Jets, I'd try
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: to get this opportunity for stud So tell me about
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: the Jets maybe getting MacKaye Lemon to fall to them.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Well, the problem is the Jets always make it a negative.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: They turn a positive into a negative like no other
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: team I've ever seen. But anyway, go ahead.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: So I don't know that it would be McKay lemon
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: falling to sixteen. I mean to me, like that's probably
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: his window right there is like in the you know,
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: let's say eleven to twenty range. I mean, he's one
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: of the top three receivers in the draft, it feels
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: like he's more two slash three as opposed to number one.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: It feels to me like Taita's number one. And you know,
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: there's gonna be like, let's say before sixteen, you'll probably
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: get four linemen, four tackles. You might get a guard
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: in there too. You get probably three edge rushers, you
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: might get a tight end. So it's like, you know,
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: and this is one thing that's weird for the draft.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: It's like, can you believe this guy fell? And you're like, well,
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: sort of fell. But also like all these teams just
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: needed tackles or all these teams had tackles ready to highly,
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: so like, I think it's possible. I don't know for
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: sure that that would be their guy, but I know
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: that a lot of people really like Makay Lemon, And
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: you know, the comp is a'mon Ross Saint Brown, which
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: I mean, if that's right what he ends up being,
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: I think Jets fans will probably be pretty excited about it.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: Yes, Ian, On the opposite end of that spectrum, who
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: are some names that you're hearing that are rising up
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: draft boards?
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: You know, I would say the tackles are probably rising,
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: you know, feeling from Georgia Proctor from Alabama, And those
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: are ones that I would say maybe top twenty now
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: maybe you know, probably top fifteen, a top twenty before,
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: maybe top fifteen. Now, there's a safety from Oregon named
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: Dylan Tanneman who I think a lot of people really
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: really like, who's almost surely a first rounder. Now you
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: might not have thought that a little bit ago. I
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: would say Monsieur Delaine for sure, the top corner, you know,
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: probably a top twelve pick. I mean, those are short
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: sort of the names we're talking about. And I think
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: it's weird because what the draft basically ends up being
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: is until you get to like two weeks out, it's
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: just who have you heard of?
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: And so those are the guys that get mocked. Now
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: it's like you really dig in, you learn about these guys,
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: and so the real analysis kind of happens.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: And I'm not sure.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: I don't think we love the idea when people put
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: out mock drafts to suggest proposed trades and like, because
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: I mean talk it's hard enough to make get the
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: draft right when you're starting to throw in trades there,
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: But is there a team or two that intrigues you
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: that might definitely pull off a trade, either getting out
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: of a spot or you know, trying to build up.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: I'll give you one each trade. And by the way,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: I like when mock drafts have trades.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Do you yeah, same, I do too.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: Yes, it's fun, like it's just you know, it also
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: gives you a chance to be right and then you
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: can be like, dude, I just predicted this well. I
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: mean level where it was like if you're taking big
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: hacks right seventeen you have like the Lions getting like,
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: you know, Caden Proctor something, it's like congratulations.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I think tackling.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: I would say probably Cowboys would be a team that
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: could move up for a impact, you know, big time
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: defensive talent, you know in the Ruben Bain ilk maybe
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: it's Rvel Reese, you know, if he falls to like
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: four or five. I mean there's there's different moves they
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: can make. But I would say Cowboys moving up would
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: be a possibility. Texans moving out at twenty eight. I
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: know a lot of teams at the end of the
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: draft always want to move out. But if someone comes
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: up for Ty Simpson, do the Texans end up trading out.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: I think that's one that would you know, sort of
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: make sense to me.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Cowboys moving up for Baines sounds like a very Cowboys move.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, I mean, you know, I don't know what
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: he's gonna end up being, but he is for sure talented.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: The arm length is real. That's a real thing. Yep,
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: there's not there's no historical precedent on someone with you know,
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: those arms being picked that highly. But you know, we'll
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: see what it ends up being.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: You mentioned Max Crosby before. Do you expect him to
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: be a Raider when the season starts.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: I do expect him to be a Raider the season starts, Okay,
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: It just it feels like once that trade didn't happen,
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: and once he kind of settled back with his team
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: and got to look around and be like, wow, we
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: actually got some guys. We're going to get a quarterback,
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: and team's more talented than when he left. You know,
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: has one has too fewer first round picks obviously over
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: the next two years, but you know, his look, his
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: knee I think will be fully healthy probably in August.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: Could have trade hapupen then anything's possible. But it feels
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: to me like most people are moving forward with him
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: being a member of the Raiders.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: If you're the Steelers, are you demanding that Aaron Rodgers
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: give you an answer before the draft?
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Do you think Aaron Rodgers will give them an answer
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: before the draft.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: I don't think I'm demanding anything from the Steelers because
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: it's sort of like, yeah, you know, first of all,
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: like they're not going to pick a starter for this year,
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: so you know, you could demand all you want and
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: if he goes, no, what do you We'll be like,
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: all right, then we won't sign you.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: It's right.
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: Probably, Well anyway, yes, I think you'd like an answer,
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: but I don't know that it honestly matters draft wise,
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: like if they end up picking you know, let's say,
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: a quarterback in the first round, like not going to
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: start this year anyway, I don't think so you'd like
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: an answer, But I think mostly you'd like an answer
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: sometime before September so we can take part in the
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: spring a little bit like you did last year.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: I just find it amazing that that organization, a pillar
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: of stability in the NFL, cannot figure it out, has
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: nothing in terms of stability at the most important position
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: in the sport like that.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: To me, that's confounding, you know.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, but that's you know, that's sort of life.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, they also have a new coach this year
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: for the first time in however many years, and stability
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: has been great. And I think their fans, you know,
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: probably were frustrated by all that stability too, because they
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: wanted excellence rather than stability. I don't know what the
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: right answer is now. I would say like most likely
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: Rogers is probably back, but I do know that he
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: has not given them an answer yet.
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: In between his production and the injury, it feels like
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: Travis Hunter was a pretty big disappointment in year one
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: in Jacksonville. What do you see for him going into
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: year two so Jacksonville can try to recoup some of
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: the assets they gave up for him.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I know that they still think he
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: can be a special player. He did get injured last year,
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: and you know, you don't take a player in the
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: first round and say, like, all right, if he doesn't
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: perform this year, then you know we've missed. I think
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: you know, it's a that's a ten year investment, right, Yes,
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: he got injured last year. I think that was obviously
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: two bad and I think it was going okay until
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: that point, but I mean, you know, was drinking from
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: a fire hose, as coaches always say, was learning a
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: lot two positions. You know, I would say, this year
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: feels to me like he'll be more corner than receiver.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: I do think he'll be a receiver, but more corner
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: than receiver. And you know, we'll we'll see when he's
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: able to focus on defense, which is where most people
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: thought he would be a success in the draft. You know,
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: what kind of a player is he? I think that'll
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: be interesting.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: What are you hearing, Jeremiah Love.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: You know, it feels to me like his dable end earlier.
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: His night will end early. You know, I would say
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: his window starts at three with the Arizona Cardinals, right,
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: and you know you got teams all up until seven.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: Who could take him? I mean really like I would
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: also wonder if he gets by, like let's say he
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: somehow gets to four to someone trade up for him,
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: and he is you know, there's some people believe who
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: believe that he is the best overall player regardless of
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: position in the draft, and so if he's floating there,
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: I mean I think someone will come up and take him.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: So I do not think he'll have a very long wait.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: How many texts did you receive during this interview? I
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: mean I don't envy your guys lifestyle.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I really don't. I mean, it's just don't feel bad
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: for me. I'm not feeling badly for you. I'm just
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: saying what I do. Five. Were any of them from
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the wife or from family members or anything? I no, No.
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: What's the level of player that you would have stopped
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: this interview for to report news?
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: Yes, I mean I would say, like if it was real,
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: like big time breaking news, I would have just said, like,
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: hold on, guys, I'll be back. You know, if it
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: was Rogers coming back, I probably would have said I'll
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: talk to you guys later.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Have you ever done that before during an interview?
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's happened, and everyone's like, I can't believe it.
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: I'm like, can you really not believe?
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: What do you think I do here?
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: You like the information, But how do you think it happens? Yes,
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: this is how it happens.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: Would you be surprised if I told you that Adam
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Schefter missed an NFL story because he was taking NBA
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: phone calls with us.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: I mean that that happens all the time, right, I
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: mean the list of people are like, have you ever
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: missed a story? If you're talking about if your questions,
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: have you ever missed a story? And then you say something,
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: the answer is always yes, because I missed plenty of
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: stories because I'm doing things. It's like life happens, and
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: you know, it takes a long time to come to
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: peace with Like it is okay to be like in
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: the swimming pool and miss a trade like that is life.
• 31:40
