Speaker 1 (00:29):
Greetings, Happy Monday, Welcome inside the Brandon Nemo Show with
my bass friend Brandonimo.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Well dressed Hobo.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Live still counting his RBIs today seventy seven, seventy eight,
one hundred and forty six, one hundred and forty seven,
one hundred and eighty one. Oh and I'm sorry, that's
how many points the Cavs won by. Sorry, I got,
I got, I got confused.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
There well live betting it got up to minus fifty
seven and.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
A half.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
And now it's dead betting now put up at Swollenoma
on Twitter, slash x, whatever you want to call it.
The poll question for the uh the best sports meme
you can attribute to this particular beat down? Do you
take the stop stop? He's already dead from the Simpsons. Yeah,
but that's been used a lot, but it's still more.
(01:22):
Do you have Duke throw the damn towel? Is there
another entry?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Comes a new one?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Just trying to figure out what would be that one
to start pushing forward.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Oh, you get some ideas, you get some ideas.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
You never know something from there will be blood where
he's there after bludgeting this guy.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I'm done. I can say this because it's a week later.
I can say the final the final scene from the
Last of Us episode two wards stop stop. It's not
like that's the one.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Can I say of all the shows that in the
last two years, Half Broken Golf Club, that's that's that's
the one that's on me. Put in there. There's my vote.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
So you can't even spoil for me because I don't
know that there's a show I had less anticipation for
and season two of that.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Well you should. Hey, I'll tell you what. It's got
me more anticipatory than what I've been watching with and
or the first I've heard the bad things. Here's there's
only one problem with it. What's the problem is only one?
Probably only one one problem, only one problem one. Everything
falls under one problem. One problem. It stinks this season
is so boring because they sold the hell out of it.
I saw ads for it everywhere. I feel like I
(02:31):
feel like critics are watching watching a different show. Do
I have a different show, because this is just the
first three episodes they released are so incredibly boring.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Well, maybe they were comparing it to some of these
beatdowns in the NBA playoffs, because you've had some marvelous games,
some controversial finishes, and then you get what we forced.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Another of calves heat was better than the first three episodes.
Oh sure, DJ, Clearly I could watch that basketball game
a TV show and something different from what I watched
earlier today, TJ.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Now is that fourth quarter only if you have a
bet live?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Dude? Even that was better? Man, I'm out to That's
that's wow. That's bad. Even a two screen experience doesn't
save that. And by that, I mean with the TV
on and you playing on your iPad that doesn't even know.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I was gonna say, you're finding some other kind of
film entertainment, whatever that may be.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Express employment professionals can provide contract workers to flex up
for peak seasons without having to raise your core workforce
head count, manage your workforce differently. Visit expresspros dot com today.
That is expresspros dot com. Now, yes, we watched an
absolutely I mean, I can't even I can't even describe
what it's been the last two games for the Miami Heat.
The Cleveland Cavaliers say hello to the second round by
(03:46):
beating the Miami Heat tonight one thirty eight to eighty three.
In case you di do math really fast, that is
a fifty five point victory for the Cavaliers. This game
was absolutely never in doubt. First quarter, Cavaliers led forty
three seventeen, They led seventy two to thirty three. At halftime.
(04:07):
You say seventy two to thirty three, you would go, wait,
isn't that old Bellichick and his girlfriend. No, hey, we
don't talk about that. At least nine more we're not
talking about it. Look, it doesn't get more embarrassing in sports,
and I'm serious, it doesn't get more embarrassing than what
the Heat put out there the last two games against
(04:27):
this Cavaliers team. I get that the Heat should not
win this series. They probably shouldn't win a game. They're
eight games under five hundred. This is how it goes.
You get hot you win a play you want a
playing game. I'm not expecting them to win a game,
but you show up and lose by thirty and then
basically it's we've been up, We've been on the plane,
we've been gone ever since, ever since that game three.
This is just embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
It's just excited that.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
That's it. This is as embarrassing as it gets. Like
this is where pat Riley and Eric Spolst have to
look at each other and look in the mirror and go,
what are we doing? Like like what what what are
we doing? I mean, we we thought things terrific during
the playing week. We found Tyler heroes our guy. We
got to build around him. Now you see not only
just how far they are from real competition, but how
far they are from caring, from care about about Hey,
(05:11):
we'd lose about the four game four. We're just going
through the most. We're done. We're absolutely well, that's.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
A difficult part of it, right, You're gonna lose, and
you may lose handily.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Here you've got searches stead even lost handily. Losing handily
is losing by twenty or twenty five. But that's just it.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Like the effort level first quarter, they get blitzed, what
forty three seventeen, and like, all right, we're done. You
know you could do the one, two three, Can coon
start holding up auctions for the for the roster spots
for the rest of the game, you know, maybe get
deeper into the rotation than the five guys.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
JJ Redick used, uh.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
And then you maybe maybe you just have a bunch
of people sitting courtside that suddenly hold up Jimmy Butler pictures.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
He would have tried. Damn it. I can't get over
just how I'm back. This is like when a franchise
you go, I can't even talk to anybody postgame. I
can't even do it because I'm so incredibly embatted. But
it's the antithesis of everything they've been right.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
The identity was toughness, going all the way back to
when he culture is on two, when those guys showed up,
and the years hence, there was always just an attitude
in the building. Now they didn't have to like Spolster.
You don't have to get along, you don't have to
like pat Riley. But it made it work, and the
guys that showed up you at least knew they were
gonna put their hard hat on and for four quarters
(06:26):
they were gonna battle your ass. The last two games
were on embarrassment. This is Cleveland. It's as bad. It's
as bad.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
This is really it doesn't get worse and on the
court in the NBA than this, Like this is like
we we have to question everything we're doing. If this
is how our team shows up backs to the wall. Yes,
are you coming back from di and at home? And
I get, Hey, we're on the run. You're at home, men,
this is how you show up.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I mean, I get, I mean you are in Miami
and it is a distraction.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I get, I get that Cleveland was gonna win the series.
When you're at home, it's a distraction. I think I'd
be Look, I don't I think I would take if
you made it the Miami Heat versus one guy and
no gorillas, I would still I would take the one
guy over the heat. Well, we need to do that.
I would take the one guy right from that whole
(07:16):
one hundred men versus a gorilla who wins the whole,
this whole thing going on, And I would take one
guy scrawny, maybe five to five, maybe like Steve Rodgers
before he took the serum and I would take that
see a lot of heart, Captain America. I would take
that Steve Rodgers over the heat in this game, he
would have won.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
This is one where you really wish there was an
obligation to where if a game truly gets out of
this sort a camera is on or a phone has
to be turned onto Adam Silver for the fourth quarter
and you have to watch his face the entire time
as he's sitting with whoever. He could be at dinner.
He could be having a nice bubble bad.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I don't care. You have to watch this direk too.
I mean, I can't get a I mean, this is
just that there's not a lot to say other than
just wow, you should be absolutely impact. And if there
was relegation you would think, okay, maybe he should maybeach me.
But this is a playoff series. Wrexham moves up and
the heat go out. You're relegated. Things were so bad
losing by fifty five at home. Yeah, you're getting relegated.
(08:17):
You're playing in the you're playing in the CBA.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
You're Tyler hero. Thirty one minutes played. He was one
of ten from the field, one of nine from three
point range minus forty four for him. Uh so me
finished with four points.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I don't. I can't even tell people I played for
the Heat. If I did, I would you played? No? No,
I played, and I played in college. What do you
do now? I work in the bank.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Yeah, you know how we get past that? We made
the playoffs. Of course that means you're not in the lottery.
But we made the playoffs, and I just cashed a
really big check. Yeah, and then I put my sunglasses on,
I get in my sports car and I drifted.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Nah.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
No, you can't. I got a long off season. Now
you can't even you can't. You can't, like, can you
even go to off season functions and stuff? I played
for heacher? You play for the Heat? Wow? Really? Who?
So you haven't needed to take a shower in a
couple months because you haven't been trying.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Oh no, no, this is where you do the real
cell Like I played hard.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
My teammates.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Boy, I tell nobody else, especially the guys that are gone. Like,
once we get through the cycle, you don't schedule anything
until free agency started, and then once a bunch of
guys got you know that guy he played thirty minutes?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
He did not give a damn. Don't you play for
the heat? No, no, no. My name is Roger Murdoch. I'm
a pilot. You're a tyler. Here you wearing that bucket
hut No, no, no, no, don't kidd I know. I'm sorry.
I work at Starbucks on the corner. I'd make that
nice little basketball up picture and you're at the top
of your your moking.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
There looks nice. Ye know, that's what I do. You
win one thirty eight eighty three. Darius Garland doesn't even play.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
No, no, no, Mark Price didn't play. Craig Eloa didn't play.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
This might be the most wait thistancy, the most guys
on a roster to get minutes in a game. Now,
oh yeah, yeah right, I mean it goes all the
way five minutes. The Tuma o'kik from the twenty nineteen
draft class. There is one of those guys you attracted
beyond the John Zion world. He played seven minutes. He
had the fewest minutes of any guy.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Cross. I can't got seven minutes. I can't believe the
bench guys that played all the game didn't go middle
of the fourth quarter and say, hey, you gotta take
me out I haven't played this much, exhausted. You gotta
put the starters back in. I used to play in
twenty minutes. Come on, I get like six minutes if
I'm lucky, and at the end, if we're mopping up
with the other team, I get eight minute. You can't
play me twenty minutes. Can't throw me out exhausted.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
You had eight bench guys get at least twelve minutes
of playing time today eight and then the ninth was OK,
which I really seven.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I can't but look, but this is part of because
you think about this, right, going back to what we
talked about, I'll talk of the last few weeks, is
that as entertaining and fun as the NBA playoffs are,
there's all kinds of drama. You got the NBA now
apologizing for miscalls or fouls to the Lakers, to the Pistons. Right,
for all this going on, what do I say, I
don't know that anything is going to stop Cavaliers or
(11:06):
the Celtics against the Thunder in the NBA Finals. And
clearly this is what's going on. Look at all these
other teams that are having some level of difficulty in
their first round play and here are the Cavaliers. Yeah,
we're not even breaking a sweat and we're gonna win
this in four. We're going to last two games by
a combined eighty five points. Yeah, okay, just again, this
is how good the Cavaliers, the Thunder, and the Celtics
(11:26):
are in this one piece of analysis that Wolves are
the best. O. Hey, at this point, at this point,
I would be surprised if it's you. Frostburg would hit
me over the head. So I'm not gonna say it. Yeah,
don't do it. Frostburg would hit me over the head
with surely he would hit me. Save that for hour four. Yeah, okay, okay,
just making sure, just make it bend. I mean, he
(11:47):
might be a little tired.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Yeah, you might be to have him off his game
and you can slip one's going, just.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Just making sure.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Yeah, but what I'll document it all once you actually
do that.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah, I mean, just does I mean, we'd go fine.
I mean, you see you see that the struggle that
even it's a three to one series that the Knicks
are having with the with the Pistons, right, the struggle
with the Nuggets and the Clippers and every other series
even this this Rockets Warriors series, is still everything is
knocked down. The first round of the playoffs is knockdown,
drag out. This is no longer. Hey, we're up against
(12:20):
the team we're gonna beat in the first round. We're
really we're just gonna go. You know, we're gonna play
at a pretty good pace and then we really get
things going in the Conference semis. Right, this is way
we feel. No, this is where every year is. You
have to it's a knockdown, drag out brawl just to
get to the second round. Except look at what these
teams are doing. Right, and again this shows you just
how good these three teams are. It's incredible. I mean,
(12:43):
I don't know what it's a it's a complete and
total upside. If we're not talking Thunder Calves or Thunder
Celtics in the NBA finals, that's it.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Well, as a man who loves chaos between the white lines,
I really hope to hell something crazy happening.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Oh I hope you're right. I want it to man,
I want Nicks Lakers and we come on on, who
wasn't want that? I mean, just you know, Adam Silver
just petting a white games to get there first, the
snowball has to survive there a couple of seconds. Hell Frossburg,
Who's who's who's winning three one? And who's who's down
three one? We want one game at a time. Oh,
(13:17):
I'm sorry, is Doc Rivers coaching the Wolves? Because if
it is, you're right, You're absolutely right three one, you're
absolutely could be. He's got you there soon enough? Exit?

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Well.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
The NFL draft is thankfully in the books. Now we're
looking back and looking forward. Cleveland Browns just took another quarterback,
so there's that. Uh So they're just following your old strategy.
Why are you mum, No, no, I like that, but
just you know, I keep coming back to So they
liked They didn't like shod Door Sanders in the third round,
but they liked him in the throat.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Look, Man Haslam ordered the code red. Dude, you saw
the video of the that war room. Every guy that
was in there looking Atdieche like, we got to do
this the Browns.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
The Browns look feel like the run by a bunch
of fans who just over overran the war room and said, yeah,
let's make all these crazy draft Now we'll draft Jador Sanders.
We drafted Dylan Gabriel, Now we'll draft Sanders. Oh yeah,
we got still got four quarterbacks. Now we're jumping in here. Yeah,
let's go do that. I really I feel like it's
a bunch of fans that are running the Browns. Oh
you know, you can't can't have too many quarterbacks. Let's
(17:19):
let's go get them. Oh go and have a competition.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
And in the end, I mean, are you any worse
off than you were when you weren't drafted in the
first round? You got to the team that you were
originally mocked to. He did here's the word mock as
you will. Yeah, but but how you got there is
just yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
No, no.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
It's a long, circuitous route, rife with storylines, conspiracy, theories,
and chaos, no question about it.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Joining us now the hot line nobody better than longtime
NFL insider. He's on Odyssey one O five seven the
Fan in Baltimore, Washington Post. He's on Twitter at Jason
lock and for a Jay. What's happening, Bud, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Gentlemen?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Buy? So we're trying to explain how how you know
now that the draft is over, we're looking ahead for
Shador Sanders, how the Browns liked him in the fifth
round but didn't like him in the third round like that.
That's the big thing I keep coming back to.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
It's odd. It's certainly odd. I mean, I understand that
we're picking people and we're projecting, and it's not just football.
It's not just college level production. It's not just you know, size, height, weight, projectables.
And there's a human element to it. And how these
(18:32):
interviews went, how he presented himself, and how eager he
seemed to do or not to do things in the
run up to the draft. So I get it, but like,
I have a hard time thinking even if you have
concerns about the scope of Pat Schirmer's offense, and even
if you think the completion percentage was sort of goosed
(18:55):
by all the high percentage passes, and even if you
are concerned by the first down sacks and holding the
ball too long, I mean, I have a hard time
thinking that right now, Dan Gabriels are better NFL developmental
quarterbacks and should stand this, you know, I just I
(19:17):
just do. I don't think it was just about football.
And I'm not saying that it has to just be
about football, because especially at that position, it's not. But
I mean I just have a hard time thinking that,
Like if Sugar Sanders doesn't create any issues, and if
(19:42):
his personality and ego or whatever are sort of held
in check, I have a hard time thinking he's not
going to be one of their two best quarterbacks. I mean,
Watson's not even really a factor. Placo as a four
to six week expiration on him, and then you know
(20:04):
his age and everything starts to show. I think we
know what Kenny Pickett is. I don't think that anybody
in Cleveland's dying to play Kenny Pickett. And then you've
got these two kids, the one who was the far
more successful college quarterback, the one who was more decorated,
the one who multiple general managers told me they thought
would go in the first round. Like you're telling me
(20:25):
he's not going to be better in a pro setting
than the kid from Oregon. I mean, I guess we'll
find out over the next few months, but yeah, it was.
It was an odd, odd situation.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
A couple of Super Bowl champions on that squad and well,
an undersized lefty that I have to throw my fortunes
in as a fire plug of a man myself.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
When you walk away from the.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Draft, Jason, with that, you know, that controversy and all
the would be conspiracies that go into the Sanders stuff aside,
where was it? Where was the best storyline for you?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Best storyline?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Let's just best team in terms of what they were
able to accomplish.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
If that sure? I mean there were some teams that
stood out. I mean the Browns. You know, they don't
have a quarterback still, so I mean everything else, you
know is it's kind of interesting. I think they probably
(21:29):
you know, set themselves up to raise the overall caliber
of their rafter, you know, in a fairly significant manner.
I don't know how many more wins it's going to
produce this year, because again I've did that five quarterbacks,
and I don't love any of them, but they certainly
have made themselves more interesting. I thought the Cardinals had
(21:49):
a great draft. Again, do I is? It doesn't bump
them up my power rankings and my buying Cardinals futures
to make the playoffs Cardinals over win total, No, I'm not,
but I just found myself liking what they were doing.
You know, the ricks tend to get richer in these situations.
It's not the deck is stacked. Like if you have
(22:10):
a great roster already and you don't have as many
holes to fill, and you can take some risks and
you know, go out on the limb here or there
because of you know, you're gonna win twelve games no
matter what, for the most part of your quarterback stays healthy.
Then you go into this with an advantage and teams
like the Ravens and the Chiefs and the Eagles are
able to sort of make some luxury picks that maybe
(22:30):
some other teams couldn't, you know, based on some health
risks or some character risks that will probably pay, you know,
some interesting dividends for them this year, and in the
case of Simmons with the Chiefs, probably for years to come.
You know. I just the Giants. I just kind of
laugh at him, like, I don't know, man, like, really
(22:52):
are we we don't think that this feels like like
more deep South Daniel Jones, Like this doesn't like I
feel like I've watched this movie before and this guy's
got longer hair, and this guy, you know, is is
this It's it's not Duke, it's all this. But I
don't know, man, I can't give them the benefit of
the doubt when they make a move like this for
(23:13):
a quarterback. I just really wonder. And I know a
lot of people are lauding them and falling all over
themselves about them, but I don't. I don't know that
this kid's going to do anything to help them win
football games this year. And if he doesn't, then I
think they're all gone and the next group might want
their own quarterback. So be fascinating to see, you know,
(23:34):
how that plays out. I thought Jerry Jones had a
pretty good weekend. We obviously don't know how any of
this is going to shake out for years to come,
you know, but those were those were some of the
things that sort of caught my attention. But yeah, I mean,
obviously this Shador Sanders thing eclipsed everything else.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Jayson locking for our guest to Jason smithcher with Mike Harmon.
So okay, So now, speaking of quarterbacks, we saw the
underwhelming draft play come in and now looking ahead, there's
two big quarterback Domino's Aaron Rodgers Kirk Cousins, whichever order
you want. What happens with both of these guys. Now
the draft is over, the dust is settling.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I mean, it certainly seems like Aaron run is going
to Pittsburgh. I mean I would be giving him a
cutoff point, like I'm not letting this guy who doesn't
know my system, doesn't know my coaches, doesn't know my players.
I mean, this isn't like back in the day Green Bay,
where you know he was already embedded in everything there.
This is a very just you know, jumping teams like
I would be giving him a cutoff of, like, hey,
(24:33):
rookie mini camps this weekend, you don't sign here by then,
good riddits. You know, we're not. We're not wasting our
time here, like we're trying to win and we need
you in our building, learning our people and learning our
philosophies and learning our offense. So you know, cousins, I
I don't know. I mean, you guys, tell me who
(24:57):
where's the fit right now? I I don't really kind
of see it. I think most of these beds of
it made there will invariably be injuries or an ota
for the injury story training camp, in preseason games, and
it may create a real situation there. But I don't.
I have a hard time seeing a match right now,
(25:20):
you know, Like I mean, if the Colts were going
to do something like that and it already have happened,
right like, I just I don't know. I mean, I
don't see it.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Chaos with veteran quarterbacks continues Jason locking Ford with us here,
Jason Smith, Mike Rvion, Fox Sports Radio Studios. Uh fallout
from the draft. I didn't see anything in terms of
win totals really moving a whole lot here, Jason, just yet,
as we'll await the full OTAs at the end of May. So,
I mean that's where Rogers could get a nice Memorial
(25:56):
Day weekend. I guess in before he'd have to go
to work.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, I don't know, man, I mean I'm sure he'd have.
You believe, he's already memorized, you know, the playbooks of
any team that could potentially be interested in him. I
mean there's really well I mean again even with him,
like who besides Pittsburgh, Like the Minnesota thing is sailed,
the Giants thing is sailed. I mean, Cleveland's got five
(26:21):
of them already. Like, where where's he going? I mean, honestly, like,
I just I think he needs to get real about this.
If he wants to play football, I get it. I'm
I'm the Steelers. I'm getting that commitment from him now
or or you know, I'm not interested in in charades
any longer. Yeah, I mean I just kind of think
(26:46):
that one, that one is, you know what it is.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I keep looking at this going, boy, I wanted to happen,
just to see what it would be like Aaron Rodgers
and Mike Tomlin trying to coexist together, like that would be.
That's really going to be something you talk about two
guys on opposite side of the locker room the entire time.
It's Tomlin on one side and Rogers all the way
on the other side, and that's how it's going to go.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Well, I don't even know how much Rogers is in
the locker room, and be honest with you, like I don't.
I think he gets dressed pretty quickly. You know, he's
got I'm sure he'll have his own little little spots
or where he'll hang out in the facility or you know,
listen to his music or meditate or whatever. True stuff.
I don't think he at this point going to be
(27:29):
a big part of like their their interpersonal dynamics and
like the whole hanging out and like you know, figuring
out my offensive lineman, like so I can buy something,
Like I just I don't think it's about patent his
stats for as you know, a Hall of Fame resume
and making a little more money and trying to go
out on something close to his terms. Although I'm still
(27:51):
not sure in the end that's going to be, you know,
the case, because the football gods and you know, the
Grim Reaper and all that they tend to went out
in the end.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
All right, let's go back to the trade. First round.
Travis Hunter, does he push them over the seven and
a half win total. Trevor Lawrence, Do we finally see
the quote generational guy that we've been waiting on for
all these years?
Speaker 3 (28:12):
No? No, I don't think he all of a sudden,
you know, gets the quarterback to be who they hoped
he would be when they drafted him. I think, I mean,
you gave up the value of basically two players, so
he's got to be two players for them, and he
might be two players for them, and that division is
(28:33):
still soft, but I still fancy the Texans chances and
you can still get plus money on the Texans. And
that's where I dabbled this weekend. Like I don't know
about that coach in Jacksonville, Like, if Sean Khnan wants
you to coach his football team, you probably suck at
coaching football. Like I'm pretty convinced to that. Like whatever
you did to win that interview probably means you suck
(28:54):
at your job so or you're not ready for this,
or you're just getting groomed for your real job. You know,
three years later you go back to being a coordinator
after you get fired there and then you relaunch yourself
and maybe two point zero works, But like I can't
give that the benefit of the doubt. I just can't.
But it's certainly going to be more interesting having this
(29:14):
unicorn on their roster. But no, I guess I didn't
really move up my power rankings. I mean, maybe they're
you know, they're probably the second best team in that division,
I guess, But I mean, what is in the AFC?
What does that really get? You? Like? I don't think
it's getting anywhere close to a playoff spot.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
He's on Twitter at Jason lock and for that is
at Jason lock and for Odyssey one oh five seven
the Fan in Baltimore, Washington Post jay Z always pretty
appreciate it. We'll talk to you next week. You have

Speaker 1 (29:44):
If this guy thinks you're good at what you do,
you probably suck you see that?
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Okay was waiting for it. Where's the one liner? Yeah,
where's the patent? Locking for a one?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
There?
Speaker 1 (29:54):

Cohn of Fox Sports. Really because they both have incredible mustaches.
It's Steve Desager.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
No, nobody's got that must not since Raleigh Fingers. By
the way, you were talking appropriately so about this Cleveland
Cavaliers series. I'm not even gonna call it a Cleveland
Miami series. The other team was invisible, especially in the
two home games. Cleveland took Game four to sweep the
first rounder one thirty eight to eighty three. Miami had
(30:44):
just played over the weekend, its worst playoff game ever,
and they lost by even more tonight in the first round.
Last year, Cleveland's offense averaged under one hundred points a game.
They scored at least one twenty in every game of
this series. In fact, they outscored the Heat by a
combined one hundred and twenty two points in the four games,
(31:07):
making this the most lopsided series in the history of
the NBA playoffs, and in fact, the Heat became the
first team in league history to lose back to back
playoff games by at least thirty points. And again, these
were both at home. A thirty seven.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Point loss and then a fifty five.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
Point loss in a clincher. This was the largest halftime
deficit in a clinching game. This was the largest margin
at the end to lose. Cleveland advances to the second
round of the Eastern Conference playoffs at Golden States.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Wait, wait, but but everybody's really upset. Hey fix the
first round of the college football playoffs. Look at all
those clowouts. Fix that.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
Uh now, let's just keep inviting.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Yeah, you finished tenth, right, come into the NBA playoffs.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
We want to see or not?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Can I just remind everybody Miami's record in the regular
season was thirty seven and forty.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Five thirty seven and they're.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Still playing almost in the month of May. Here Now,
for Golden State, Jimmy Butler did return after the fall.
Last week he started. It was great start for Golden State.
They were up sixteen too early on Houston. The lead
is now thirty one to twenty nine over the Rockets.
Early in the second quarter. In the NHL, the Penguins
fired coach Mike Sullivan after ten seasons. Florida wins with
(32:22):
three goals in the last four minutes tonight, beating Tampa
Bay four to two, so the Panthers are up in
that first round series three games to one. Dallas in
the opening seconds, scored in the final minutes of the
first period. They scored again end of one, Stars two
to nothing over Colorado to Major League Baseball to the
ninth inning, the A's are leading at Texas two to one.
(32:43):
Houston goes to the ninth with a lead against Detroit
eight to five. Seventh inning stretch Braves lead at Colorado
now six'. Three The, rockies currently with a record of
four and twenty, three and The, dodgers With Dustin may
on the, mound lead The marlins one.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
Nothing in the.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Third la scored early on A Freddie FREEMAN rbi single
that played at Shohe, otani who had a leadoff hit
and stole. Second by the, way The dodgers did place
Pitcher tyler glassnow on the injured. List cincinnati won its
fifth straight game wins For minnesota And. Baltimore don't know
if you saw The mets game, today but they were
up fifteen to. Nothing in the eighth inning At washington
(33:19):
nineteen to, five the Final Brandon nemo two, homers nine.
RBIs he went four for, six four runs. Scored his
batting average is up to two eighteen.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Now he came in at like one. Sixties now it
looks like he's just somewhat. Disappointed but, Again, STEVE i
forget who can tell me who had because my internet's.
Down who has the best record in? Baseball right?
Speaker 5 (33:39):
Now that is now a twenty to nine mark okay
for The New york. Match and by the, way from Stat,
zinc if you combine the offense Of nemo And jeff McNeil,
today it's a combined twelve, RBIs five extra base, hits
and no, strikeouts meaning they're the first pair of lefty
hitters since nineteen seventy five to combine for all of
that in the same game Since carl And Fred lynn
