- 2:09Speaker 4: NFL Draft is in the books. Billy Schmid is here
- 2:14Speaker 4: live and in person. Can't believe Billy, you're so chipper,
- 2:18Speaker 4: but this is your time of year. You're going on adrenaline.
- 2:20Speaker 5: Well that in adrenaline and page six articles which are
- 2:24Speaker 5: basically caffeine to a young man's soul who at one
- 2:27Speaker 5: point was voted best laugh in high school as well
- 2:31Speaker 5: as gossip King for the senior Superlative.
- 2:33Speaker 2: So right up my alley Hereldne, and.
- 2:35Speaker 5: This one on a day like today is not that
- 2:38Speaker 5: hard because it was hilarious last night sitting in here
- 2:42Speaker 5: with Wayne Larvie for three hours.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Hunter bombgart immediately immediately.
- 2:47Speaker 5: Jumping into potential current electric Superhero of the day mode.
- 2:51Speaker 5: Now I believe Hunter was our current electric superhero of
- 2:53Speaker 5: the day yesterday.
- 2:54Speaker 2: He was yesterday as well. Did he earn it again today?
- 2:56Speaker 2: You think Billy is out, you're saying.
- 2:57Speaker 5: Well, he earned it in the first segment of the show.
- 3:00Speaker 5: He earned it immediately, and he earned it all night
- 3:03Speaker 5: long because he was dominating that side of the glass,
- 3:07Speaker 5: being able to take rectify any problems. Obviously, problems occur
- 3:11Speaker 5: right away because it's live radio.
- 3:13Speaker 2: There's gonna be something immediately.
- 3:15Speaker 5: Hunter springs into action, set us off for success as
- 3:18Speaker 5: Fernando Mendoza is being taken number one.
- 3:22Speaker 2: No idea that.
- 3:23Speaker 5: Twelve picks later we were gonna see the second quarterback go,
- 3:27Speaker 5: and we were fueled by pizza Julie Larvie, chocolate chip cookies,
- 3:32Speaker 5: a little bit of caffeine and some and an NFL
- 3:36Speaker 5: draft in a round one guys that was as long
- 3:40Speaker 5: lists and long ranging into that top fifty drew of
- 3:44Speaker 5: players we talked about yesterday. It's gonna be a big
- 3:46Speaker 5: collection of guys, and there's gonna be a lot of variants.
- 3:49Speaker 5: There sure were a lot of surprises last night, and
- 3:51Speaker 5: one of them came into the division. One of the
- 3:53Speaker 5: craziest picks was that Caleb Banks name being taken at eighteen,
- 3:57Speaker 5: when you and I were wondering would you even fathom
- 4:00Speaker 5: taking him at fifty two. So it was it was
- 4:02Speaker 5: really really fun into the middle part of last night.
- 4:04Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of activity, what trades galore at the
- 4:07Speaker 4: end of the draft, like this pick's flying, you know.
- 4:10Speaker 5: And ty Nilly Dude and Ted Thompson would have been
- 4:14Speaker 5: so proud of some of the decision makers last night
- 4:18Speaker 5: making the multiple trade backs. It was it's going, okay, sweet,
- 4:21Speaker 5: I can go back from twenty four. Why don't I
- 4:23Speaker 5: go back to twenty six. Maybe I'll go back to
- 4:25Speaker 5: thirty then select a player, because Drew, there were so
- 4:28Speaker 5: many guys once you got out of that top seven
- 4:30Speaker 5: to ten range.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Everybody seemingly was.
- 4:34Speaker 5: It was like walking up to an ice cream counter
- 4:37Speaker 5: and saying, do I want red Raspberry or do I
- 4:39Speaker 5: really want Cookie Monster?
- 4:41Speaker 2: Right, there's blue Moon.
- 4:42Speaker 5: And there's cookie though, and I got a lot of
- 4:43Speaker 5: options here. What's the flavor of the day.
- 4:45Speaker 4: What's that one way in the back there, the pistachio bubblegum?
- 4:48Speaker 2: Let's try that. Let me see a little sample of that.
- 4:50Speaker 2: No one's expecting us to try that. Let's try that.
- 4:52Speaker 6: You convince yourself it's something different. All the ingredients sound goods,
- 4:56Speaker 6: so they might be good together.
- 4:57Speaker 2: I might as well try it.
- 4:58Speaker 4: Our cup run over is now we're going to ready
- 5:00Speaker 4: for a day of the draft when the Packers actually
- 5:01Speaker 4: have a pick. And we had all the shenanigans that
- 5:05Speaker 4: took place last night and some of the things like
- 5:07Speaker 4: I was watching to see what the cowboys did, look
- 5:10Speaker 4: like they know what they're doing.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Had a really really good night, really good night.
- 5:13Speaker 4: Like that's wild, and then the madness starts with Matt
- 5:18Speaker 4: Lafleur's little brother with his team getting the Jeremiah love like, well, okay,
- 5:24Speaker 4: I thought that we're going to go in a different direction.
- 5:26Speaker 4: But he's a good player. They were thirty first in
- 5:28Speaker 4: run game last year. He's a dynamic weapon. They'll use
- 5:32Speaker 4: him all over the place. He's the Deebo Samuel out
- 5:34Speaker 4: of the backfield kind of guy.
- 5:35Speaker 2: For that good way of putting it.
- 5:37Speaker 5: He's the highest drafted running backs in Saquon Barkley, rightfully,
- 5:40Speaker 5: so right like and watch it making more money like
- 5:43Speaker 5: Saquon Barkley because of where he's drafted instantly. One of
- 5:46Speaker 5: the craziest part it comes in what seventh highest paid
- 5:49Speaker 5: running back in football?
- 5:50Speaker 2: Yeah, he said fifty four million dollars slot right.
- 5:52Speaker 5: Not a bad deal and he was gonna make a
- 5:54Speaker 5: little bit of cash and that that's one position in
- 5:56Speaker 5: one slot, Drew, You're not going to make that cash
- 5:58Speaker 5: still in college.
- 5:59Speaker 4: So the thing is can they man, are they gonna
- 6:01Speaker 4: get him killed? Do they have the offensive line? The
- 6:03Speaker 4: great questions, And then there's a lot of other things
- 6:05Speaker 4: where teams are taking guys that you're like, what the
- 6:08Speaker 4: Rams with the biggest WTF moment of the night, taking
- 6:11Speaker 4: Ty Simpson when they're a super Bowl team today, and
- 6:13Speaker 4: that's like, that's Packers esque, Like they're taking a quarterback,
- 6:16Speaker 4: they're taking their next quarterback now, right now, instead of
- 6:20Speaker 4: giving Matt Stafford a toy or something like, Matt Stafford
- 6:23Speaker 4: just drove down Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers drive.
- 6:25Speaker 5: One hundred percent. And while he sat there, he's like, man,
- 6:28Speaker 5: we're all the same. And even those guys sat out
- 6:31Speaker 5: on their porch, you know, probably brown bagging it or
- 6:34Speaker 5: just having four fingers worth into a cup saying, Buddy,
- 6:37Speaker 5: yours is way worse like you if.
- 6:40Speaker 2: You looked at it. We were talking about it last night, Drew.
- 6:42Speaker 5: In twenty nineteen, there were some of us delusional Packers
- 6:46Speaker 5: fans that took to seven points when the Packers went
- 6:48Speaker 5: out to San Francisco. But I don't think anybody was
- 6:50Speaker 5: kidding themselves that they were potentially the better team in
- 6:54Speaker 5: that NFC title game. Matt Stafford's coming off the best
- 6:58Speaker 5: year of his career.
- 6:59Speaker 2: He's the MVP. The MVP.
- 7:01Speaker 5: They were one of the most ridiculous replay reviews I've
- 7:04Speaker 5: ever seen in the game. Away from hosting the NFC
- 7:07Speaker 5: title game where they would have been a three and
- 7:09Speaker 5: a half point favorite and they almost won it on
- 7:11Speaker 5: the road, and then they would have been a touchdown favorite.
- 7:13Speaker 2: In the Super Bowl.
- 7:15Speaker 5: Then they go not twenty six, not twenty four like
- 7:19Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love were taken. You know what,
- 7:22Speaker 5: the thirteenth pick like a wild slot to go back
- 7:27Speaker 5: with that selection. They started apparently feeling some smoke during
- 7:30Speaker 5: the middle of the day, and it sounded like Mikey
- 7:32Speaker 5: Lafleur was making some noise there in Arizona of trying
- 7:35Speaker 5: to figure out how they were gonna walk away with
- 7:38Speaker 5: ty Simpson a quarterback is the most valuable one. But
- 7:41Speaker 5: Sean McVay, I did not see that one coming at all.
- 7:44Speaker 5: It actually was a segment guys where I almost swore
- 7:47Speaker 5: three times last night.
- 7:48Speaker 4: He should get texts from Rogers and far just like
- 7:51Speaker 4: support text like, man, they did you bad.
- 7:54Speaker 2: But you know, it's got to grind through it.
- 7:56Speaker 4: You got to because like, yeah, you have a Super
- 7:58Speaker 4: Bowl plug and play super Bowl already roster and just
- 8:01Speaker 4: a tweak here or a tweak there, and you're drafting
- 8:03Speaker 4: my replacement.
- 8:05Speaker 2: Thanks for the coming now.
- 8:06Speaker 6: It's it's interesting because it's also right away he runs
- 8:10Speaker 6: to tell everybody, this is still matthews team.
- 8:13Speaker 2: This is still Matthew's team. Don't get it wrong.
- 8:15Speaker 6: That's maybe the one thing that everyone, you know, as
- 8:17Speaker 6: much as people maybe are trying to say, Okay, we're
- 8:19Speaker 6: gonna see if we can copy that Packers playbook. Make
- 8:21Speaker 6: the tough decision, Michael Penix. They tried it in Atlanta,
- 8:24Speaker 6: now they're doing it in La Beast. Time we get
- 8:26Speaker 6: a quarterbacks, we don't need one, the secession plan, but
- 8:28Speaker 6: make sure we make it very clear that this is
- 8:30Speaker 6: still Matthew's team.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Okay, that's nice to say, I guess right.
- 8:34Speaker 4: The question is like, Okay, McVeigh and Stafford are pretty tight, right,
- 8:37Speaker 4: but did they What was the conversation, like, you know, hey, yo,
- 8:41Speaker 4: heads up, yeah, take it? Or was there a call placed?
- 8:44Speaker 4: Because you know, that's the thing we've learned is right.
- 8:47Speaker 5: Well from what communication is key and this is uh
- 8:51Speaker 5: as NFL insiders had a fun day of conversation about
- 8:55Speaker 5: that job yesterday. There was a fun conversation about that
- 8:57Speaker 5: job yesterday, Jay Glazer apparently knowing them of the day.
- 9:00Speaker 5: It also sounds like Peter Schrager knew in the middle
- 9:04Speaker 5: of the day. He had talked about it last night
- 9:06Speaker 5: on the MacFee Show after almost spilling the beans on
- 9:09Speaker 5: NFL Live like four hours before the show. He's like, hey, Dan,
- 9:15Speaker 5: you've been dragged through the mud here today, maybe strapped
- 9:18Speaker 5: up to the inside parts of you and dragged for
- 9:21Speaker 5: three or four weeks about your ty Simpson take might
- 9:23Speaker 5: be the night of Dan Orlowski. And he's like, yeah,
- 9:26Speaker 5: we just couldn't say anything, couldn't say anything. Yeah, they've
- 9:29Speaker 5: sworn those guys to secret sea. So used to be
- 9:31Speaker 5: that the insiders on X worth three picks ahead of
- 9:35Speaker 5: the whole proceedings, and they all quieted down yesterday. The
- 9:38Speaker 5: only one that was letting it fly was already Mirov.
- 9:41Speaker 5: But when Glazer tweeted that out like before the Rams
- 9:45Speaker 5: were on the clock, it indicated Drew that it was
- 9:49Speaker 5: a longer conversation. But I wonder if, and thinking about
- 9:53Speaker 5: it more, in hindsight, it does kind of make sense.
- 9:56Speaker 2: This was the pick they.
- 9:57Speaker 5: Got from the Falcons last year for trading back. Falcons
- 10:01Speaker 5: also used that pick on James Pearce, who might never
- 10:03Speaker 5: play in the NFL game. So you get this pick
- 10:06Speaker 5: from the Falcons. They used their pick to go and
- 10:08Speaker 5: trade for Trent McDuffie, who does still help you win
- 10:12Speaker 5: a Super Bowl this year, might be the best cornerback
- 10:14Speaker 5: one of the best cornerbacks in football, definitely one of
- 10:16Speaker 5: the best slot corners in football. So they use their
- 10:18Speaker 5: twenty ninth pick there, this one falls in their lap.
- 10:22Speaker 5: They don't know if they're ever going to get a
- 10:23Speaker 5: chance to be up here again because they believe that
- 10:27Speaker 5: Stafford can play that well. And we are only eight
- 10:29Speaker 5: months remove or you know, ten months removed from yes,
- 10:32Speaker 5: him winning the MVP, but also Arvin Sarian over here
- 10:36Speaker 5: for going under on the Rams win total because my
- 10:38Speaker 5: man was living in an RV out by the river
- 10:42Speaker 5: to see if he could basically get himself through training camp.
- 10:45Speaker 5: So I wonder how long these conversations have been going,
- 10:49Speaker 5: all the way back maybe to camp when Stafford was
- 10:52Speaker 5: trying to get healthy.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Could be good.
- 10:54Speaker 6: Yeah, it was the report that they did have the conversation.
- 10:57Speaker 6: He's mcvas that he told Stafford the team had planned
- 10:59Speaker 6: it takes it in the thirteen but edity one to
- 11:01Speaker 6: keep those conversations between the two, which which that makes sense,
- 11:05Speaker 6: quarterback head coach, keeping those conversations quiet, all the insiders
- 11:09Speaker 6: knowing it, not reporting it. That's the one that may
- 11:11Speaker 6: be surprises me a bit. But hey, once upon a
- 11:13Speaker 6: time I put down on guys. Guys want through a place,
- 11:17Speaker 6: one through reveal scoops ones at a time. But I
- 11:19Speaker 6: guess if everyone comes together with the same embargo, I
- 11:22Speaker 6: guess that's that's how they feel.
- 11:23Speaker 2: It don't really matter, but it is funny.
- 11:25Speaker 6: To think that all, Oh, by the way, we all
- 11:27Speaker 6: did know, we just couldn't tell anybody.
- 11:28Speaker 2: How many times is this happening?
- 11:29Speaker 6: Now makes you wonder how much stuff people really do
- 11:32Speaker 6: know that we're never hearing of just because the certain
- 11:34Speaker 6: eight agencies don't want them out or certain people don't
- 11:37Speaker 6: want them.
- 11:37Speaker 4: Now that ESPN is the league and the league is ESPN,
- 11:41Speaker 4: that part of it isn't hard.
- 11:42Speaker 2: But a guy well, a rights holder Fox.
- 11:44Speaker 4: I mean Glazers, they're a rights holder, so they're kind
- 11:47Speaker 4: of in bed with the league.
- 11:48Speaker 2: Two in the league and Exercise.
- 11:50Speaker 6: It's you know, they're a monolith in that sense, you know.
- 11:53Speaker 4: Yeah, sitting If only there was an independent voice out there,
- 11:56Speaker 4: like a well placed insider from an outside entity like oh,
- 12:00Speaker 4: I don't know, the New York Times slash Athletic. If
- 12:03Speaker 4: only they had someone, because they would fearlessly be able
- 12:05Speaker 4: to report what they know, and uh, what's that?
- 12:09Speaker 6: I heard?
- 12:09Speaker 2: Applications are open.
- 12:10Speaker 5: Okay, never mind, maybe not maybe not damage.
- 12:15Speaker 6: It makes you wonder those damage what's out there, makes
- 12:18Speaker 6: you wonder who's looking at their phones today?
- 12:20Speaker 2: And for a six year old picture, you just don't know.
- 12:22Speaker 4: We got the draft our or derv wasn't great because
- 12:24Speaker 4: the Brewers puked away a game they should have won
- 12:26Speaker 4: in which they scratched out a lead against Scooble and
- 12:29Speaker 4: they had the lead in the bullpen.
- 12:32Speaker 6: All right, So this is my like long long argument
- 12:35Speaker 6: that that billy used to have with one of our
- 12:37Speaker 6: you know, former faith Well he's not former, but he
- 12:40Speaker 6: still exists.
- 12:41Speaker 2: But with Mike Keller, right, one of our best friends.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Oh yeah, not dead like that.
- 12:45Speaker 5: But let's confirm it right there, Mike Keller, you still
- 12:48Speaker 5: thirteen on Friday, April twenty fourth, Mike Keller, fairy much.
- 12:51Speaker 2: We used to believe it.
- 12:52Speaker 6: I believe you had it with him where it was
- 12:54Speaker 6: always should they have did they let it get away?
- 12:56Speaker 2: Should they have won?
- 12:57Speaker 6: Because they were down three to one, come back to
- 12:59Speaker 6: get the lead and then lose the lead. So was
- 13:02Speaker 6: it when they got away or did they already like
- 13:04Speaker 6: by coming back? Did the tigers like get away? Should
- 13:07Speaker 6: they have won? That was like one of those like
- 13:09Speaker 6: when you come back but lose the lead, it's a.
- 13:10Speaker 2: Zurpa and Ureba giving up long balls.
- 13:12Speaker 4: Yeah, of course that's a tough one because man, yeah,
- 13:16Speaker 4: they got walked off in a game that looked like
- 13:18Speaker 4: they were gonna steal.
- 13:19Speaker 5: Yeah, and to be able to sit around and wait
- 13:22Speaker 5: and wait out long enough schoobl that was.
- 13:25Speaker 2: That's one of the more impressive innings of the year. Yeah.
- 13:27Speaker 5: I would say tagging him there in that seventh inning,
- 13:30Speaker 5: but I just unable to get past it. And now
- 13:33Speaker 5: you you had those cookies, You had those Juli Lharaviy
- 13:36Speaker 5: cookies just sitting right there in the oven.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Don't get them good? Now?
- 13:39Speaker 5: You sure hope that you can fire them things right
- 13:41Speaker 5: back up here tonight because I would love to be
- 13:42Speaker 5: able to put four up on the board against Skeens
- 13:45Speaker 5: and see where the chips.
- 13:46Speaker 4: Let those ships fall where they may, so the buffet
- 13:48Speaker 4: is bountiful. You got the NFL draft, even though the
- 13:51Speaker 4: Packers didn't pick. It was a quite the side show.
- 13:53Speaker 4: Last evening Pittsburgh showed out. They went heavy upfront with
- 13:59Speaker 4: their Hall of Fame linning and bringing all those guys
- 14:01Speaker 4: out early TJ. Watt opens this show out there the
- 14:04Speaker 4: NFL Man of the Year, Walter Payton Man of the Year,
- 14:06Speaker 4: and then we got Big Ben and Roth and Bradshaw
- 14:09Speaker 4: coming out.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Well, you guys thought it was basically everybody.
- 14:11Speaker 5: Yeah, everybody in the kitchen say they hauled them all
- 14:13Speaker 5: at mel Blunt was there, like they had them all.
- 14:15Speaker 4: Out there, and then the Steelers when they made their pick,
- 14:19Speaker 4: it was like, uh, okay, offensive tackle Arizona State, Like
- 14:25Speaker 4: is he even like one of the best tackles?
- 14:26Speaker 2: Like is this guy with Billy? You tell me the
- 14:28Speaker 2: offensive line guru?
- 14:30Speaker 5: Well that was one of the Again, he's got maybe
- 14:32Speaker 5: the most fascinating story of the draft that he was
- 14:36Speaker 5: a guy that was in junior college playing basketball and
- 14:39Speaker 5: they're like, hey, buddy, I don't think it's gonna work
- 14:41Speaker 5: for you, but maybe this football thing could. And that's
- 14:43Speaker 5: where he started learning to play football and never played
- 14:44Speaker 5: high school ball.
- 14:45Speaker 2: But that was one as well.
- 14:48Speaker 5: I believe where Schefter or Rapport, one of those guys,
- 14:51Speaker 5: had the story that they were on the clock and
- 14:54Speaker 5: trying to the Steelers were one pick behind waiting to
- 14:59Speaker 5: go in draft Malachi Lemon and on the phone with
- 15:02Speaker 5: Lemon to say, hey, by the way, with the twenty
- 15:04Speaker 5: first pick, you're gonna be a Pittsburgh Steeler, all while
- 15:08Speaker 5: Howie Roseman goes in trades up with the Dallas Cowboys.
- 15:11Speaker 5: Eagles and Cowboys hanging out, cats and dogs Massesaria the
- 15:16Speaker 5: one of the many inter division trades.
- 15:18Speaker 2: There were several that happened last night.
- 15:21Speaker 5: Then they leap frog the Steelers and grab the wide receivers.
- 15:24Speaker 5: So it does make you wonder, did they just grab
- 15:27Speaker 5: somebody with a cool sounding name. He's a he's a
- 15:29Speaker 5: huge athlete, but uh did feel like a little bit
- 15:32Speaker 5: of a reach.
- 15:32Speaker 2: I loved the big boys going last night though.
- 15:35Speaker 5: Not only did we have some tackles going, as we
- 15:38Speaker 5: had multiple guards as first round picks in the NFL Draft.
- 15:43Speaker 5: That needs to be celebrated, especially guys like Keelan Rutledge
- 15:47Speaker 5: who are just absolute a holes which are just so
- 15:50Speaker 5: fun to watch.
- 15:51Speaker 6: It does seem like it's like the offensive lineman, especially
- 15:54Speaker 6: in tierror Limon Renaissance, where that last.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Night was there night today might be there today.
- 15:58Speaker 5: More guards and centers on the board gonna come off
- 16:02Speaker 5: high and hopefully one is going to the Green Bay
- 16:04Speaker 5: Packers by the name of Logan Jones.
- 16:06Speaker 2: We'll see later on time if we can celebrate he's
- 16:08Speaker 2: went in starting up at so.
- 16:09Speaker 4: Yeah, So the Steeler's pick was kind of anti climactic
- 16:11Speaker 4: a little bit.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 16:12Speaker 5: I did kind of wonder if it was gonna be
- 16:14Speaker 5: a little bit better, like, uh, I thought it might
- 16:16Speaker 5: potentially be bigger. But they did throw the uh I
- 16:19Speaker 5: mean Bermanzi's brother sandwich that was basically everything in the
- 16:23Speaker 5: kitchen sink before the draft, right, they put it all
- 16:25Speaker 5: on the sandwich right away, and they're like, hey, do
- 16:27Speaker 5: we have anything else that we can bring out here? Well,
- 16:30Speaker 5: Jerome brought some high school kids to play play football.
- 16:32Speaker 2: We do that, Yeah, send themone out there, let it
- 16:34Speaker 2: let it ride.
- 16:35Speaker 4: Yeah, didn't, but didn't they Just does this mean Broderick
- 16:38Speaker 4: Jones is done or does this mean that he's like
- 16:42Speaker 4: questionable because.
- 16:43Speaker 5: Like sweet murky there, Yeah, he had just had a
- 16:46Speaker 5: setback with a neck surgery. Uh that he had a
- 16:50Speaker 5: couple of months ago. And that's from what the reports
- 16:55Speaker 5: were last.
- 16:55Speaker 2: Night, twenty three or twenty four first round pick.
- 16:57Speaker 5: For he was the twenty three, twenty three first round
- 17:01Speaker 5: pickcause that would have been in the year that the
- 17:02Speaker 5: Packers moved up because I believe the Steelers with the
- 17:04Speaker 5: team they leap frog.
- 17:05Speaker 2: Jones was the guy that picked.
- 17:06Speaker 5: Was picked in between Van Ness and Will McDonald at
- 17:09Speaker 5: thirteen fifteen, so still in his rookie contract though, Drew right,
- 17:14Speaker 5: and that's your starting left tackle.
- 17:15Speaker 2: This guy Max.
- 17:17Speaker 5: The idea was he could play for you, but probably
- 17:20Speaker 5: not in week one.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Well, you just might have to play week one.
- 17:23Speaker 5: And if that guy Broder Jones a nice player, I
- 17:26Speaker 5: don't know that he's a great player. He's in the
- 17:30Speaker 5: same week going down with that, it felt like, okay,
- 17:33Speaker 5: we need to grab a tackle just to be somewhat
- 17:34Speaker 5: of an insurance.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Well, you always need that there right tackle. Right.
- 17:38Speaker 5: So he's so one, unproven and so young in his career.
- 17:43Speaker 5: I don't know that he's as locked in like a
- 17:45Speaker 5: Jordan Morgan who played over two thousand snaps at one spot.
- 17:48Speaker 5: He might not be as trained at one spot, so
- 17:50Speaker 5: he could go around a lot of teams like Gon
- 17:52Speaker 5: Versall right with those guys now, so, and sorry not
- 17:55Speaker 5: to interrupt you. I still think one of the craziest
- 17:57Speaker 5: picks of the night in the middle of all love
- 18:00Speaker 5: it theen him into the Bears safety from Oregon loved
- 18:04Speaker 5: that dude. He's athletic as all hell. I thought he
- 18:07Speaker 5: would go eighteen. Wayne and I were talking about it
- 18:08Speaker 5: last night. He felt like a great replacement for Harrison Smith,
- 18:12Speaker 5: who was just one of the all time packer killers,
- 18:15Speaker 5: retiring for the Vikings. Instead, instead, they decided to take
- 18:20Speaker 5: a three hundred and thirty pound guy who's broken a
- 18:22Speaker 5: foot three times in the last nine months. So I'm
- 18:25Speaker 5: I don't know exactly what that means, but for a
- 18:28Speaker 5: team that's in between GM's Drew. They fired Adolpha Mensa
- 18:33Speaker 5: late in the process, and now they have an acting
- 18:36Speaker 5: GM and they take maybe the biggest stunner on the board,
- 18:39Speaker 5: not even really a top fifty consensus guy. A crazy,
- 18:43Speaker 5: crazy night there at eighteen, and it was filled with
- 18:46Speaker 5: that back end that was just a lot of lottery
- 18:48Speaker 5: tickets in a lot of shock, all right, eight.
- 18:51Speaker 4: Seven, seven, seven, nine four one eighty three, amidst this
- 18:54Speaker 4: bountiful buffet of cy young winners and draft sleepers and
- 18:58Speaker 4: surprises and trades. Meanwhile, back here among the tire and
- 19:01Speaker 4: strip club adds, Milwaukee Bucks have a new coach.
- 19:03Speaker 2: There you go, there we go.
- 19:05Speaker 4: It should be a landmark story in typical kind of
- 19:08Speaker 4: Bucks pr fashion. The story is going to get out
- 19:11Speaker 4: on a day when everybody else is slammed with draft
- 19:14Speaker 4: stuff and Brewers are playing a big thing.
- 19:16Speaker 6: Like I will say, it seemed like the initial report
- 19:18Speaker 6: was the biggest thing, because it seemed like a foregone conclusion.
- 19:21Speaker 2: After that, as long as you take the job, and
- 19:23Speaker 2: then it was made.
- 19:23Speaker 4: Well, once you heard they flew down to talk to him,
- 19:25Speaker 4: and then he's coming here, it's like okay. And then
- 19:28Speaker 4: and then of course Seams had to get in the
- 19:30Speaker 4: I'm told that Yannis had nothing to do with this higher.
- 19:32Speaker 5: Nothing to do with it, No, nothing to do with it.
- 19:34Speaker 5: Somebody pay attention to me, he had nothing to do
- 19:36Speaker 5: with it.
- 19:37Speaker 6: I think it's exact words where I'm not aware that
- 19:39Speaker 6: he did. I'm not aware if he did, but obviously
- 19:41Speaker 6: that was gonna be.
- 19:43Speaker 4: And well, the last time, as I recall, the Bucks
- 19:45Speaker 4: got the top guy on the coaching carousel, the guy
- 19:48Speaker 4: that most people regarded as the best candidate. It was Budenholzer.
- 19:52Speaker 4: And they want a championship, and they want a championship,
- 19:55Speaker 4: saying I'm just saying, but now this guy comes from
- 19:57Speaker 4: Bootenholzer's tree. But he's a highly regarded it's been successful,
- 20:01Speaker 4: has that head coaching experience, has familiarity with the city
- 20:05Speaker 4: and the team in the franchise, no organization, the market,
- 20:07Speaker 4: and John Horse. So it looks like this is a
- 20:09Speaker 4: good fit. I can't quibble with this. I don't will
- 20:11Speaker 4: it work, I don't know, but the logic is not flawed.
- 20:15Speaker 4: I was I was excited when the Badger's got the
- 20:18Speaker 4: top guy in the market. So it hasn't worked out yet,
- 20:23Speaker 4: but but as of if you're looking at process right now,
- 20:26Speaker 4: this was not flawed and I cannot quibble with their
- 20:29Speaker 4: decision because there's nobody else.
- 20:31Speaker 2: I think that if you who should they hire? Who
- 20:33Speaker 2: makes the most sense?
- 20:34Speaker 4: Like I talked about the job being different if they're
- 20:36Speaker 4: rebuilding or trying to win a title. I think this
- 20:38Speaker 4: guy could do both. I think he's he's a good
- 20:40Speaker 4: fit either they go.
- 20:42Speaker 5: So it's just a solid basketball coach and let's go.
- 20:46Speaker 5: I think he could win with a team that's ready
- 20:48Speaker 5: to win now. I think he can win with a
- 20:49Speaker 5: team and develop young players. I think I think that's
- 20:52Speaker 5: the perfect combination. Drew, Like you just said, and you
- 20:54Speaker 5: said obviously familiarity with Giannis with the city. It was
- 20:58Speaker 5: one year pretty damn good year, right when when they
- 21:01Speaker 5: clinched the number one spot in nineteen for the first
- 21:04Speaker 5: time in forty five years and go to the Eastern
- 21:06Speaker 5: Conference finals and Giannis was the MVP. So it does
- 21:10Speaker 5: a good one to go back to and try to
- 21:11Speaker 5: call back up on it.
- 21:12Speaker 6: They Bett agree wherever he's gone with player development has
- 21:14Speaker 6: gotten a lot out of young rosters before it went
- 21:17Speaker 6: bet in Memphis, that's what they were doing. Rolell is
- 21:19Speaker 6: all performing with young town young rosters, and that's presumably
- 21:22Speaker 6: what we're gonna see Milwaukee, right, You hope is that
- 21:24Speaker 6: it's gonna be with or without Giannis, a very young roster.
- 21:27Speaker 5: So I think this is the right move here. And
- 21:29Speaker 5: Taylor Jenkins doesn't give a rip about hotels. Is that
- 21:33Speaker 5: is that the I mean the two worst city, two
- 21:37Speaker 5: worst hotels Memphis and Milwaukee. Yeah, but he said I
- 21:40Speaker 5: staying in them, so I want to go coach there.
- 21:42Speaker 6: Although gee Fedrifude said, you know the online guy, he said,
- 21:45Speaker 6: the profist is the best one of Betty them. So
- 21:47Speaker 6: this is pretty interesting. You're right, Billy, maybe it's not
- 21:49Speaker 6: so bad.
- 21:49Speaker 1: You know.
- 21:51Speaker 6: The funny thing is anyone's standing the journeyman anymore. We'll
- 21:53Speaker 6: get to that later.
- 21:53Speaker 2: We are off and running with the Friday edition.
- 21:56Speaker 4: It's draft in earnest for the Green Bay Packers today
- 21:59Speaker 4: because they get to make a selection.
- 22:01Speaker 2: If they so choose, we will pick apart.
- 22:03Speaker 4: We'll get Billy's thoughts because he was anchoring the covers
- 22:05Speaker 4: last night with Wayne Larvy. We'll be doing so again
- 22:08Speaker 4: tonight on ten seventy and the youtubes because the Admirals
- 22:10Speaker 4: are in the playoff. Menbaby come again tonight, so night
- 22:12Speaker 4: too with a Packers pick is going to be fantastic again.
- 22:15Speaker 2: Bucks Coach will.
- 22:16Speaker 4: Take your thoughts on all of this stuff. Eight seven
- 22:18Speaker 4: seven seven ninety four one ninety seven three. It's the huddle,
- 22:21Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
- 22:26Speaker 2: We take Ray Jennings.
- 22:28Speaker 3: That's right, Cleveland Royalty. Haven't I been telling everybody that
- 22:32Speaker 3: that's what we need?
- 22:33Speaker 1: A running back?
- 22:35Speaker 3: I still want to quick coach. What does just sound
- 22:39Speaker 3: like a team that you want to coach? Because the
- 22:41Speaker 3: Browns are ready to roll. We just need the right
- 22:43Speaker 3: man at the wheel.
- 22:44Speaker 2: Hold that scene, Kevin hould Bit. I can coach this team.
- 22:48Speaker 2: I know you can.
- 22:50Speaker 3: Once you give Ray Jennings a call, ask him if
- 22:53Speaker 3: he wants to be a Brown and tell him the
- 22:55Speaker 3: package bag so we can join us at our party.
- 22:58Speaker 2: Leasure us about that. You got some coret, you got
- 23:09Speaker 2: some set of bolts.
- 23:11Speaker 4: I knew I had one more raft jam baby now
- 23:13Speaker 4: today is actually drafted cart do it's the huddle. Fox
- 23:17Speaker 4: Sports Radio Wisconsin, d Rebellion arm and eight seven set.
- 23:21Speaker 2: I'm talking text on. You like to weigh in on
- 23:23Speaker 2: last night's proceedings.
- 23:24Speaker 4: Uh, the Brewers unfortunate lost short flight across the pond.
- 23:29Speaker 4: They're getting ready to face another side young winner in Skins,
- 23:31Speaker 4: but they had to lead Zipa and you Rebay kind
- 23:34Speaker 4: of coughed it up with the Homers.
- 23:36Speaker 2: That was That's a.
- 23:37Speaker 5: Tough l yeah, especially with those two guys being the
- 23:40Speaker 5: ones that deliver and then be the unfortunate.
- 23:43Speaker 2: That was the swing game.
- 23:45Speaker 4: That was a swing game because four and two trips
- 23:47Speaker 4: better than three and three, and winning that one takes
- 23:50Speaker 4: the heat off tonight because Skins, because you already beat.
- 23:52Speaker 2: One thy young I've granted like arms.
- 23:55Speaker 4: Looking at the silver lining, they did score and get
- 23:57Speaker 4: the lead against Scooble and they were realy and it
- 24:00Speaker 4: was like it was impressive the way they did scratch
- 24:03Speaker 4: out the lead the woodpeckers.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Right, yeah, but doesn't if it was it was all
- 24:08Speaker 2: the lead. The most important part of the lead is
- 24:10Speaker 2: whole holding the reservation.
- 24:11Speaker 6: It was nice to get it and give yourself a
- 24:13Speaker 6: chance to win, but then it was also kind of
- 24:15Speaker 6: more of a bummer, right, it's the whole cookies theory,
- 24:17Speaker 6: like you always like to point Outpuilate that iys talking about.
- 24:19Speaker 6: But as April games go, you know, it's just a
- 24:22Speaker 6: game in April. But that did seem like one that
- 24:25Speaker 6: was more of a letdom than others, just because boy,
- 24:27Speaker 6: you had a chance to get that series, get in
- 24:29Speaker 6: the sken and the Scoople start coming back to face Skiens.
- 24:32Speaker 2: It was kind of a it was more I.
- 24:34Speaker 6: Felt more deflated than I thought I would, because after
- 24:37Speaker 6: that seventh inning rally, I was pretty excited. I'm like, Wow,
- 24:39Speaker 6: this is gonna be a great win. It feels like
- 24:41Speaker 6: that swing game. Then again, it's still April twenty third,
- 24:44Speaker 6: not twenty fourth. It's just one game in April. It's
- 24:47Speaker 6: all in front of you.
- 24:47Speaker 2: But I guess.
- 24:48Speaker 6: The the the daunting task of facing schooble Skins back
- 24:52Speaker 6: to back gives you that whole feeling like, man, if
- 24:54Speaker 6: we let them get away there hundred percent the the
- 24:57Speaker 6: one little bit of a silver lining as well, you know,
- 25:00Speaker 6: coming back, I think you can you could spin it
- 25:03Speaker 6: of well, if there was one to win still, the
- 25:05Speaker 6: most important one would be the division one, right, Like
- 25:08Speaker 6: you want to win the game in division you have
- 25:10Speaker 6: a chance to be able to do that tonight. You've
- 25:11Speaker 6: had a little bit of success against schemes at home.
- 25:14Speaker 6: That was one start where you knocked him out and
- 25:15Speaker 6: what the fourth inning. I was also at a game
- 25:17Speaker 6: where he I think was threw six no hit innings.
- 25:19Speaker 6: So it could be a varying degree here tonight.
- 25:23Speaker 5: But the other part of yesterday that I think almost
- 25:26Speaker 5: gets lost in the way that it finished was sure
- 25:30Speaker 5: the homers for from the bullpen were the backbreaker.
- 25:35Speaker 2: Man I thought spro was was decent.
- 25:36Speaker 5: Again yesterday as well, and continues to get better and
- 25:40Speaker 5: continues to calm himself down after the start to the year,
- 25:43Speaker 5: which I don't know, I don't know you could have
- 25:45Speaker 5: had a worse start to a career for Brandon Sprout
- 25:49Speaker 5: with the Brewers, and now it seems like he's starting
- 25:51Speaker 5: to grab a little bit more footing. Yeah, I think so.
- 25:53Speaker 5: I mean I think he was find in that regard throughout.
- 25:57Speaker 5: Did he you know the old thing starters tell you, so,
- 25:59Speaker 5: I want to give my team chance to win.
- 26:01Speaker 6: I guess he did in a lot of ways. You
- 26:02Speaker 6: don't want to leave with loss, but it's like he
- 26:04Speaker 6: sort of did do that. You're right, Billy, after the start,
- 26:07Speaker 6: you know, just take some time to settle in, let
- 26:09Speaker 6: the spring and summer kind of go on.
- 26:11Speaker 2: You know, you are not who you are in April.
- 26:14Speaker 6: But a lot of fans, a lot of us observers,
- 26:16Speaker 6: we put so much emphasis on this first few weeks,
- 26:18Speaker 6: this first month because because you know, baseball's back and
- 26:21Speaker 6: we have a lot of sharper eyes toward it. But
- 26:23Speaker 6: there's a lot of season to be played, a lot
- 26:25Speaker 6: of career for him as well, So it's just a
- 26:27Speaker 6: matter of finding what works for him, getting into groove.
- 26:29Speaker 2: So hopefully he's getting into that to that process more well.
- 26:31Speaker 2: Cubs are surging right now as you look at the division.
- 26:33Speaker 4: Yeah, and they've just played back to back series, sweeping
- 26:38Speaker 4: managers who they could have ushered out the door, like
- 26:41Speaker 4: how stung? How did mendoz and not get fired? Great
- 26:44Speaker 4: twelve in a row, and then the heat is on
- 26:46Speaker 4: Rob Thompson for their horrible start now and they're plumbing
- 26:49Speaker 4: the depths. So it's like they could have gotten back
- 26:52Speaker 4: to back managers in East fire. But the Cubs are
- 26:54Speaker 4: rolling and look like they might be as good as
- 26:57Speaker 4: advertised because they've had some.
- 26:58Speaker 2: Injuries and stuff. The injuries on that rootation. Yeah, and
- 27:00Speaker 2: they're they're plowing through.
- 27:02Speaker 5: They were trying to be drew. The was that the
- 27:04Speaker 5: twenty ten Packers that had got Brad Schilders and Wade
- 27:08Speaker 5: Phillips fired and back to back weeks. Yes, I believe
- 27:11Speaker 5: I'll go thumping the Cowboys at home and then just
- 27:14Speaker 5: decimating the Vikings at home.
- 27:16Speaker 2: They're they're about to be the coach killers. But I
- 27:19Speaker 2: think the other.
- 27:20Speaker 5: Part for for the Brewers, which was maybe a shaker yesterday,
- 27:24Speaker 5: one that.
- 27:24Speaker 2: Kind of gets forgotten about. The little bit stinks.
- 27:27Speaker 5: Bryce Terrang had been on base every single game of
- 27:30Speaker 5: the year at twenty five game on Bay streak, gets
- 27:33Speaker 5: snapped yesterday, and now I did. I thought he might
- 27:37Speaker 5: catch him. I thought he was going to potentially catch
- 27:39Speaker 5: Shoho Tani's fifty three game the Han Bay streak that
- 27:42Speaker 5: dates all the way back through last year. But you
- 27:45Speaker 5: know what, well, now you can start a brand new
- 27:47Speaker 5: streak here tonight at home for Bryce Terrang getting on
- 27:50Speaker 5: all right, you can.
- 27:50Speaker 4: Reach us eight seven seven seven nine, Nicolay Lodoc. I'm
- 27:54Speaker 4: talk and text line as the as we get ready
- 27:57Speaker 4: for Day two, which is the Packers Day one of
- 27:59Speaker 4: the NFL Draft. A couple things standing out that it
- 28:02Speaker 4: is draft day, so everybody's talking about how the Jets
- 28:04Speaker 4: did well.
- 28:06Speaker 2: That's that's a common refrain. That's fair.
- 28:08Speaker 4: I've heard that before, and they will they do now
- 28:10Speaker 4: and always will suck the Giants as well. Now it's Harbaughs.
- 28:13Speaker 4: So everybody's like, oh, I can see what they're doing. Okay,
- 28:16Speaker 4: they have a clue now and they're allegedly having a
- 28:18Speaker 4: good day. But for all the stuff that was happening,
- 28:21Speaker 4: and you look through the draft through the prism of
- 28:23Speaker 4: the Packers all the time, with the Packers not having
- 28:25Speaker 4: a pick, you look at what's going on in the division.
- 28:27Speaker 4: He alluded it to it earlier today. I'm wondering because
- 28:31Speaker 4: I was looking elsewhere and not dialed in. It's my
- 28:34Speaker 4: own fault to billion Wayne Larvie. Last night at the
- 28:39Speaker 4: point when the Vikings made their pick, And I'm wondering
- 28:42Speaker 4: did that pick because I remember the pain and the
- 28:45Speaker 4: anguish that I heard emanating from the radio waves when
- 28:49Speaker 4: Billy and Wayne realized that the Packers weren't going to
- 28:52Speaker 4: get Brian Branch, the guy that they both wanted.
- 28:55Speaker 2: So is Caleb Banks the new Brian Branch? It would
- 29:00Speaker 2: have been if it wasn't for the foot injury.
- 29:02Speaker 5: Right like the foot that three breaks potentially in nine months,
- 29:07Speaker 5: uh and three hundred and thirty pounds on a broken foot,
- 29:10Speaker 5: I don't necessarily knows gets all that better. So we
- 29:13Speaker 5: were looking at other defensive tackles right in that line,
- 29:17Speaker 5: We're just floor drew like that was just one that
- 29:20Speaker 5: it was so surprising for him to go eighteen instead
- 29:24Speaker 5: of forty eight now tonight, if it.
- 29:26Speaker 2: Would have been the adjustment maybe would have been a
- 29:27Speaker 2: little bit different.
- 29:28Speaker 4: If he was still available and the Packers are getting
- 29:31Speaker 4: close to the board, you're thinking he's near the top
- 29:33Speaker 4: of the list of guys they would take.
- 29:34Speaker 2: I thought would have been close.
- 29:35Speaker 5: Yeah, it just injury aside, because he's a mountain of
- 29:38Speaker 5: a man. I mean he's six six three third, Yeah,
- 29:42Speaker 5: big old boy. Yeah, but just that that that medical
- 29:46Speaker 5: was was a real surprise to it.
- 29:49Speaker 2: Wayne and I.
- 29:50Speaker 5: Wayne was sitting here is I'm kind of running through it,
- 29:53Speaker 5: starting to laugh and chuckle and just throws the pendigos.
- 29:57Speaker 5: I didn't think there was a chance he's going in
- 29:59Speaker 5: the first round, So it was that was the bigger
- 30:01Speaker 5: maybe the bigger surprise. I really thought Theeneman you want
- 30:05Speaker 5: to talk about the turnabout, I just thought that was
- 30:07Speaker 5: a perfect pick for the Vikings, and instead he goes
- 30:09Speaker 5: to the Bears. I just I hate the shades of
- 30:12Speaker 5: competence that continue to Chicago. I don't necessarily love it,
- 30:18Speaker 5: but I did, uh, I did, you know, lend myself
- 30:21Speaker 5: a little bit of laughter last night when they did
- 30:24Speaker 5: draft a kid from Indiana.
- 30:26Speaker 2: Bears did draft some kid from Indiana.
- 30:28Speaker 5: So maybe maybe they're getting themselves ready, Maybe maybe they're praying,
- 30:31Speaker 5: Maybe they're getting getting themselves ready for next week's announcement.
- 30:35Speaker 2: They're heading for the Gary Bears.
- 30:37Speaker 6: The whole time, guy, I wasn't connecting, And I'm sorry,
- 30:39Speaker 6: Billy here five forty, I didn't really, but now that
- 30:42Speaker 6: makes sense.
- 30:42Speaker 2: That is funny.
- 30:43Speaker 6: That is a good one. Well, and yeah, I would
- 30:46Speaker 6: say the same about uh. You know, remember the Iowa joke,
- 30:49Speaker 6: like Iowa was gonna come in and build a bear
- 30:51Speaker 6: stadium too. They were trying to get in there. So
- 30:53Speaker 6: why not Ohio State because they had everybody in their
- 30:56Speaker 6: everybody and their brother was drafted last night from Ohio
- 30:58Speaker 6: stating the first ten picks a man and it's like, man,
- 31:02Speaker 6: that was the old John Calli Perry thing when he
- 31:04Speaker 6: had five guys drafted from Kentucky in the first round.
- 31:06Speaker 2: He said, my job here is done.
- 31:08Speaker 6: My goal has been you know, completed of getting all
- 31:10Speaker 6: these guys in the first round. And people were like,
- 31:12Speaker 6: I thought your goal was to win national titles. But hey,
- 31:14Speaker 6: Ohio State had congratulations on all those guys going in
- 31:17Speaker 6: the first round, first eleven picks, but couldn't win it
- 31:20Speaker 6: all man.
- 31:21Speaker 2: The talent there was impressive.
- 31:22Speaker 6: So all those things are pretty interesting about what happened
- 31:25Speaker 6: last night, But the Ty Simpson thing was for me,
- 31:27Speaker 6: the biggest.
- 31:28Speaker 4: So Ty Simpson gets interviewed and he's like, you know
- 31:30Speaker 4: what's going to be like He's like, well, I can't wait.
- 31:32Speaker 4: You know, he's coach McVay is one of the best,
- 31:34Speaker 4: and I get to learn from Matt Stafford. He goes
- 31:36Speaker 4: one of the greatest of all time, right things, and
- 31:38Speaker 4: he's said all the right things. And then the flip
- 31:40Speaker 4: side of that is the linebacker that the Giants took,
- 31:43Speaker 4: Reese rvel Reeves. Yeah, you name any you know, anybody
- 31:47Speaker 4: that you're gonna be playing with, Like they got Jackson Dart,
- 31:50Speaker 4: don't they.
- 31:52Speaker 2: Like he knew one giant and that was it. Yeah,
- 31:56Speaker 2: that is awesome.
- 31:57Speaker 4: I wonder if I'll be rushing next to it, like
- 32:00Speaker 4: Cavon Thibodeau and like the one of the best pass
- 32:01Speaker 4: rushes in the league.
- 32:02Speaker 2: Like, couldn't name anybody on the defense.
- 32:05Speaker 6: It's a reminder a lot of guys playing college prideles
- 32:07Speaker 6: sit around like we do watching red Zone.
- 32:09Speaker 2: Yeah get you know, they followed the college game more.
- 32:12Speaker 4: But it's like if you're if you're on the radar
- 32:15Speaker 4: and you're doing an interview, you think you'd start to
- 32:18Speaker 4: look and even like, well, if I went to that team,
- 32:20Speaker 4: I'd be wearing this jersey, and who's there.
- 32:21Speaker 2: That guy, that guy, that guy.
- 32:23Speaker 4: You start looking around having a feel for maybe at
- 32:26Speaker 4: least two or three different teams that might select you.
- 32:28Speaker 2: But he's just like he couldn't name, couldn't find anybody.
- 32:31Speaker 5: Oh that's rich because they do have one of the
- 32:34Speaker 5: more electrifying front sevens that you could see in the league.
- 32:39Speaker 5: And and I love that they are are doubling it
- 32:42Speaker 5: up with Thibodeau and Brian Burns, who are Goimy Rush
- 32:44Speaker 5: and they use the Dexter Lawrence pick on another on
- 32:48Speaker 5: an offensive lineman.
- 32:49Speaker 2: After grabbing r vl Rees. There was other reasons why
- 32:51Speaker 2: I really really.
- 32:52Speaker 5: Liked rvel Res going five to the Giants, but the
- 32:55Speaker 5: uh it was it's a year in which Drew There
- 32:58Speaker 5: was so much variance. We talked about it going into it,
- 33:02Speaker 5: but I think there's a lot of dealer's choice. What
- 33:06Speaker 5: do you think is the most important thing to you?
- 33:08Speaker 5: Is it that you think you know the most about
- 33:10Speaker 5: the player, or that there's more untapped potential.
- 33:12Speaker 2: That's always the tail of the draft.
- 33:14Speaker 5: I thought as we started out with the Jets and Giants,
- 33:17Speaker 5: like David Bailey to me was the best pass rusher
- 33:20Speaker 5: in the draft. Rvel Reees might have the best ceiling.
- 33:24Speaker 5: I love getting a guy though that doesn't wear gloves.
- 33:28Speaker 5: Rush is the passer like David Bailey, and it's not
- 33:30Speaker 5: like he's some random upstart guy from Texas Tech. That's
- 33:33Speaker 5: the thing that you almost had to change your mind.
- 33:36Speaker 5: And it was a test last night of hold on.
- 33:39Speaker 5: So you're about to tell me we're doing the NFL
- 33:42Speaker 5: draft and the first pick is going to be a
- 33:44Speaker 5: quarterback from Indiana and the second is gonna be a
- 33:48Speaker 5: Texas Tech defensive player, A big twelve defensive player is
- 33:52Speaker 5: gonna go number two.
- 33:54Speaker 2: That doesn't make any sense. It is completely shifted.
- 33:57Speaker 5: And you know, Bailey was a former five star recruit
- 34:00Speaker 5: that went to Stanford. His brother played at Harvard. He
- 34:03Speaker 5: graduated from the Stanford in three years, cashed in last year,
- 34:07Speaker 5: and then cashed in again.
- 34:09Speaker 2: So I thought that was a great pick.
- 34:11Speaker 5: I thought it really really fit, just getting a home run,
- 34:14Speaker 5: putting one right down the fairway. Then there were some
- 34:16Speaker 5: people that went lottery ticket and I'm interested. I would
- 34:20Speaker 5: love to see if we could get film of that
- 34:22Speaker 5: Vikings war room. I don't know that it would be full.
- 34:24Speaker 5: Terry Fonto trying to sell Arthur Blank back in the
- 34:27Speaker 5: day when when they had the Michael Pennix one. But
- 34:30Speaker 5: my man's trying to get that job. He's trying to
- 34:32Speaker 5: hold onto that job. And he said, I'm gonna be
- 34:35Speaker 5: bold with a cast.
- 34:36Speaker 2: If I could bug one draft room though, it would
- 34:38Speaker 2: have been the Rams one thousand percent. Yeah, all day long.
- 34:41Speaker 2: That would have been so good.
- 34:42Speaker 6: But like, come on, they they made their decision ahead
- 34:45Speaker 6: of time. They said, basically.
- 34:46Speaker 2: Did you see the video of him after?
- 34:49Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean not full hostage video, look, but it
- 34:52Speaker 5: was pretty close.
- 34:53Speaker 2: Looked pretty close.
- 34:54Speaker 5: Let's Sneed's got the leg cross staring at him.
- 34:57Speaker 2: Hey, Sean, you're not gonna say anything bad about my guy?
- 34:58Speaker 2: Right he will? Yeah? All right?
- 35:01Speaker 4: Eight seven seven seven nine four one ninety seven to three.
- 35:04Speaker 4: We're having some fun. It is now Draft Day, Part two.
- 35:07Speaker 4: Electric Bugaloo packers on the clock tonight at pick fifty two,
- 35:11Speaker 4: unless they trade back and get more, which I'm not
- 35:14Speaker 4: rolling that out. In fact, based on the activity of
- 35:16Speaker 4: last evening, I think they might try to at some
- 35:19Speaker 4: point today parlay into more picks and get north of
- 35:21Speaker 4: double digits in picks, because that's when Goody cooks.
- 35:24Speaker 5: And I think fifty two might be might be definitely
- 35:27Speaker 5: a tradable ass set. Gooty last night dismissed it quickly.
- 35:31Speaker 5: Did you guys have any plans, any real conversation about
- 35:33Speaker 5: moving up?
- 35:34Speaker 2: No? No, no, no, no.
- 35:36Speaker 6: They went for the normal process, though, which is getting
- 35:39Speaker 6: dressed up, getting the war room and hitting the hitting
- 35:40Speaker 6: the spread.
- 35:43Speaker 2: That chance.
- 35:43Speaker 4: Absolutely all right, We're gonna be right back. You're in
- 35:46Speaker 4: the Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, rolling along the the
- 35:53Speaker 4: Friday edition.
- 35:54Speaker 1: Of the Huddle.
- 35:54Speaker 4: It's day two of the NFL Draft, NBA Playoffs still
- 35:59Speaker 4: going on, Billy, Did you have time to like pay
- 36:00Speaker 4: attention to your investments on that side of things?
- 36:02Speaker 2: Dude, I was gonna say, all of a sudden, it.
- 36:04Speaker 5: Was like the seconds last break of the show, and
- 36:06Speaker 5: I'm like, wait a second, what happened in the NBA tonight?
- 36:10Speaker 2: And uh damn im is a good one in Atlanta?
- 36:14Speaker 6: Compelling, compelling, And let me tell you something there was
- 36:19Speaker 6: I CJ. McCollum did it again to the Knicks. They
- 36:22Speaker 6: blew the late lead and they're panicking in New York City. Billy,
- 36:25Speaker 6: you always talked about how it affects us and Giannis
- 36:27Speaker 6: and things like that. What teams are most desperate? You know,
- 36:30Speaker 6: Houston was in that mix. I gotta think New York's
- 36:32Speaker 6: gotta be so desperate if they lose this series, because
- 36:35Speaker 6: not only that, you were in Atlanta and you got,
- 36:37Speaker 6: you know, like all the dad basically like all the
- 36:40Speaker 6: dads at the AAU game, you know, Ewing and Starks,
- 36:44Speaker 6: they're all sitting together and cheering like the New York
- 36:47Speaker 6: Knicks basketball legacy.
- 36:48Speaker 2: And they they lose again to the Hawks late.
- 36:51Speaker 6: This isn't even the ice tray era, so they're gonna
- 36:53Speaker 6: be pissed off in New York and they lose this series.
- 36:55Speaker 2: Dude, they're gonna be. They're gonna be. There's gonna be
- 36:58Speaker 2: a war path.
- 36:58Speaker 5: And again, like it just it goes to show you
- 37:02Speaker 5: it is not always sunshine and rainbows on the other
- 37:05Speaker 5: side of the fire of the coach bridge. Like the
- 37:08Speaker 5: Bucks are going through the same thing and have talked
- 37:10Speaker 5: about it for a long time since the bootonholds are won,
- 37:12Speaker 5: and may you're in the Eastern Conference finals. Who are you?
- 37:16Speaker 5: You are the New York Knicks. You're finally relevant again.
- 37:19Speaker 5: And they say, yeah, but we don't like this Thibadeau guy.
- 37:21Speaker 5: He's too mean. He's frowning and grumpy on the sidelines.
- 37:25Speaker 2: Let's go get somebody nice.
- 37:26Speaker 5: And now you get Michale Bridges having a damn near
- 37:29Speaker 5: Tony Snell stat line after trading five first round pick sel.
- 37:32Speaker 6: Well, it's just like the frustration of losing the playoffs
- 37:35Speaker 6: for certain teams and franchises, I mean everybody, but certain
- 37:38Speaker 6: markets that believe they had that main character energy they
- 37:40Speaker 6: should be there.
- 37:41Speaker 2: We have to do something.
- 37:43Speaker 6: There's you know, that anger, like this human that humanity,
- 37:46Speaker 6: and we have to do something to change this. They
- 37:49Speaker 6: make that move when it's probably not necessary, You're right, Billy,
- 37:52Speaker 6: Like they make the decision to fire somebody, and it's like, well,
- 37:55Speaker 6: should you have done that in the first place. You
- 37:56Speaker 6: could say that here around these parts about bootonholes or
- 37:59Speaker 6: things like that. So it's amazing to witness it. There
- 38:03Speaker 6: were a lot of compelling games last night. Yokich had a.
- 38:05Speaker 2: Dud, Nuggets couldn't score at all, Raptors gotta win. That
- 38:09Speaker 2: was a nice win for them.
- 38:10Speaker 6: So some pretty compelling first round series in the NBA, yep.
- 38:13Speaker 2: They're having it.
- 38:14Speaker 4: They're having a moment, But everybody else is paying attention
- 38:16Speaker 4: to the National Football League jos up which today will
- 38:19Speaker 4: include the Packers.
- 38:20Speaker 5: Yeah, Drew, I did almost say it yesterday in the
- 38:22Speaker 5: many tweets of you know, letting everybody know the show
- 38:25Speaker 5: was on and that Wayne and I were set a
- 38:27Speaker 5: chance to be second screened and shout out to the
- 38:30Speaker 5: over a thousand people that ended up tapping in with
- 38:32Speaker 5: us last night. I saw that stream was hot. We
- 38:34Speaker 5: really appreciated it, but I almost dropped it in there.
- 38:37Speaker 5: They're reading names, folks. It's hot, like the action is
- 38:41Speaker 5: when you really break it down to brass tacks. It
- 38:44Speaker 5: is guys walking to a microphone reading names, and what
- 38:49Speaker 5: damn your four hundred thousand people showed up last night?
- 38:52Speaker 2: Three hundred thousand rocket last night. It looked like a
- 38:55Speaker 2: good Iron series. We're flowing the irons ironed light.
- 38:59Speaker 5: They even got a dan Orlowski to chug a beer
- 39:01Speaker 5: on on the McAfee special last night that will not.
- 39:04Speaker 6: Be feeling good about his ty sims and stuff last night,
- 39:07Speaker 6: a little bit vindicated.
- 39:08Speaker 2: He fired out a big fudd yes guy.
- 39:13Speaker 1: He was.
- 39:15Speaker 5: He was pumped, he said, I feel like Herb Brooks
- 39:17Speaker 5: and miracle. I didn't walk underneath the bleachers, all the
- 39:22Speaker 5: layers of coverage. I didn't spin through.
- 39:25Speaker 4: I didn't watch much of McAfee, and I didn't see
- 39:27Speaker 4: I didn't see Kirk kurb Street's dog.
- 39:29Speaker 5: Oh no, they flew out there. But instead Kirkhurve Street.
- 39:33Speaker 5: He just spit in the face of Pittsburgh.
- 39:36Speaker 2: Did you guys see that last night? I don't think
- 39:38Speaker 2: I did. What did miss?
- 39:39Speaker 5: They brought up all the Permentes Brother sandwiches up on
- 39:42Speaker 5: the up on the desk, the college game day desk
- 39:44Speaker 5: that they had there. Nick Saban, West Virginia guy, he's
- 39:47Speaker 5: he's walked around here, He's had a couple of those things.
- 39:49Speaker 2: Desmond Howard.
- 39:50Speaker 5: I would not expect Desmond Howard to be much of
- 39:53Speaker 5: a fry on the sandwich. Guy he got in there,
- 39:55Speaker 5: how big old bite yse Davis grabbed that son of
- 39:58Speaker 5: a gun crush in that thing.
- 40:00Speaker 4: They said, No, I think I'm okay, Wow, I think.
- 40:05Speaker 2: There's carbs in that. I gotta hit my Macro.
- 40:08Speaker 5: Held his hands underneath the desk.
- 40:12Speaker 2: But Keith, I can't be near it.
- 40:14Speaker 5: I'm like, perk, come on, come on, he's in there,
- 40:17Speaker 5: and have a bight of the damn sandway.
- 40:20Speaker 2: Even if you're on some sort of diet or carb
- 40:22Speaker 2: you gotta do it for TV.
- 40:23Speaker 4: I mean, that's just the late great Warren Zevon when
- 40:27Speaker 4: he was in his last days of cancer.
- 40:29Speaker 2: What's your advice? People enjoy every Sandwall, every single one.
- 40:33Speaker 2: How many of those have you had?
- 40:34Speaker 5: Have you?
- 40:34Speaker 4: Myni brothers, Oh, I've had a handful, Like every time
- 40:37Speaker 4: I went to Pittsburgh for the first couple of times.
- 40:39Speaker 4: You gotta make the pilgrim And that was where and
- 40:41Speaker 4: we'll talk to Bill Schroeder on Tuesday. But that was
- 40:43Speaker 4: the famous penguin walk when we were We walked there
- 40:47Speaker 4: on a hot day and Rock felt the call of
- 40:51Speaker 4: nature and he was going to try to make it
- 40:52Speaker 4: back to the hotel.
- 40:54Speaker 2: El Hafe was involved in this too.
- 40:56Speaker 4: We watched Rock speed walk in front of us while
- 40:58Speaker 4: we were dying doubled old over laughing. He ended up
- 41:02Speaker 4: having to peel off, and I think he went to
- 41:03Speaker 4: a McDonald's.
- 41:06Speaker 2: Bathroom.
- 41:06Speaker 4: He could find a worse He's walking like a penguin
- 41:10Speaker 4: with the cheeks clenched so tight he could have like
- 41:12Speaker 4: produced a diamond.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Oh god, well.
- 41:17Speaker 4: Across the bridge right they No, it was just it
- 41:20Speaker 4: was just on the regular city streets.
- 41:22Speaker 2: But yeah, he ended up having to go humid day.
- 41:26Speaker 2: You know, you could potentially it was.
- 41:29Speaker 4: It was nothing worse with the sweat and protagony.
- 41:33Speaker 2: You're going up and down grade changes right there. Oh yeah,
- 41:37Speaker 2: we've all been there.
- 41:37Speaker 4: But yeah, that was a oh never forget just walking
- 41:42Speaker 4: literally like like Groucho Marks, double over, bent over, laughing
- 41:47Speaker 4: so hard that Rock was in such misery.
- 41:48Speaker 2: It wasn't a poor guy. I felt for him, but
- 41:51Speaker 2: not that I could do except laugh, I was gonna say.
- 41:53Speaker 2: And the thing is, if you wouldn't have laughed, he
- 41:55Speaker 2: would have felt worse. Somebody's got to enjoy this. Somebody's
- 41:58Speaker 2: got to enjoy my pain.
- 41:59Speaker 5: Here the pig sandwich, good sandwich. Look, I'm just telling you,
- 42:03Speaker 5: I mean, it looks phenomenal.
- 42:05Speaker 2: It looks like I.
- 42:07Speaker 4: Got to It's fantastic, all right. Eight seven, seven, seventy nine,
- 42:11Speaker 4: four one ninety seven three. The one thing we didn't
- 42:13Speaker 4: talk about that was also shocking, and it's like, well,
- 42:16Speaker 4: good teams do good teams things was the Chiefs. Yeah,
- 42:19Speaker 4: no doubt about it, went up and got a guy
- 42:20Speaker 4: they wanted, like they're the Chiefs are like, well, we're
- 42:23Speaker 4: not in the first round, like you know, very often,
- 42:25Speaker 4: we're not, we're not high very often. Let's let's make
- 42:27Speaker 4: a bold move and get you know, like get this
- 42:30Speaker 4: out of our system and then go back to drafting
- 42:31Speaker 4: thirty first.
- 42:32Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know what else drew they Uh Wayne
- 42:35Speaker 5: and I sat back and we thought that it felt
- 42:36Speaker 5: like a little bit of a reach, thought that they
- 42:38Speaker 5: didn't have to trade up for him. Then uh Delanne
- 42:41Speaker 5: ended up being the only corner taken until what like
- 42:44Speaker 5: twenty six when the kid from San Diego State went.
- 42:47Speaker 5: There was a long wait until another one came, so
- 42:50Speaker 5: clearly he was in demand. And then they grabbed Peter
- 42:53Speaker 5: Woods back in the in the back end of the draft. Well,
- 42:56Speaker 5: I think he's an absolute stud. I think he's a
- 42:58Speaker 5: phenomenal player. And if they wouldn't have played college football
- 43:00Speaker 5: this year, he would have been a top ten pick.
- 43:03Speaker 5: So there's ways that you can go up and down.
- 43:05Speaker 5: And I did you see teams that believe it? Rams
- 43:08Speaker 5: and Chiefs that are like, we don't plan on frequenting
- 43:11Speaker 5: here in the top ten. Yeah, we're gonna make this happen. Yeah,
- 43:14Speaker 5: don't find our guy and let's get it all right.
- 43:16Speaker 5: We're rolling through a Friday. Hope everybody's having a good
- 43:20Speaker 5: one so far. It's the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin
