Speaker 3 (00:48):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Final minute of the game, My Mavericks aren't gonna get
it done. They need that MTV Rockin' Jock thirty point shot.
Outside of that not happening, some some of us remember
that the Grizzlies dribbling out the clock. It is one
eighteen one oh one, with twenty four seconds left to go.
The Grizzlies will be moving on into the NBA Playoffsky,
(01:11):
Mavericks will be going home, my Mavericks. No matter what
Anthony Davis tried to do tonight before he injured his legs,
somehow it was just not enough.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Mavericks failed.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Ad was sixteen of twenty nine from the floor.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
He was great.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
It's forty points and nine rebounds.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I was almost right that the Mavericks are gonna win
their way up, and I said an Ad is gonna
do it. Outside of winning this last game, I was
right about everything they won.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
The first game.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
AD was great. AD was great in this game. I
just you know the final score is you know, it.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Didn't do forty points in less than forty minutes on
the court. But as they wind down the final seconds,
it's gonna be Memphis going to OKC for a Sunday
Game one. Miami eliminated Atlanta, and so what do we have.
You've got teams this team twice this week, I should
say this Miami team. Since the current play in format
(02:04):
was launched four years ago, there hadn't been a ten
seed in either conference actually make the playoffs come the weekend,
and Miami, what do you know? They won twice on
the road this week. That was what Dallas was facing.
Dallas is officially out. Now that's going to be a final.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
But I just feel really good about that, Stevie. You
want to don't want to just be I was about.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
To say no, I was about to say that is
a final, and somebody just committed a foul with five.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Seconds The Mavericks just committed a foul. So now I
believe Memphis is going to the free throw line up
one eighteen to one oh three with five seconds left.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
And the guys on the floor are genuinely laughing out loud, like.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
What is what is? What's happening?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Heh're gonna foul? Said, Okay, great, we'll get to one twenty.
Maybe maybe in Memphis they get tacos at one twenty,
I don't know. Maybe be excited they get tacos at
one twenty. Somebody's getting into the box score at least.
But I agree that we don't expect lower seeds to
be doing much. You're making noise come the first round,
best of sevens.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
No, But here's the thing. Memphis is not. You hear
this long.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Memphis is not your average eight seed, and they're not
because this is a team that nearly won fifty games, right,
you're a forty eight win team. They're pretty good. Oklahoma
City is gonna have their hands full a little bit
in this series.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Just need to be the team they were first half
of the season.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Now the East, no, forget it.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I mean, I don't know that the Heat even scored
more than twenty points in the game against the Cavaliers.
So yeah, the seven and eight teams in the East
aren't doing anything. Seven to eight teams in the West, hey,
you got a couple of good teams right there. Already,
the war are favored to beat the Rockets in the
second round. In the first round of the playoffs, So yeah,
the two seed Western Conference playoffs are gonna be a
(03:44):
warm It's gonna be murder this next few weeks with
the Western Conference.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
That's the two seed Houston Rockets. Not to skip over that,
but as we mentioned earlier in the show, most of
the teams in the Western Conference won about fifty games
except for Oklahoma City, which just was ridiculously dominant at
sixty eight and fourteen this year. That's the team that
Memphis is gonna go see starting on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
But most of these.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Other Western Conference playoff teams we'll see over the next
week or two did win about fifty games. Like, for example,
tomorrow the Nuggets Clippers series starts in Denver. They each
won fifty. The Lakers won fifty, but they got the
three seed because of a tiebreaker. Minnesota almost fifty, Houston
just over fifty. Golden State is the team that has
surprisingly been in the play in multiple times.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
They're also the official one of the official teams in
the Way.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Play are the mascot in the Western Conference. For that,
Golden State wound up playing earlier this week, wound up
winning at home against this Memphis crew, and then guess what,
As it turns out, Golden State advances to start this weekend,
and now Memphis advances to start a series this weekend.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Now, look, Oklahoma City's been great, right, They've been great
all season. Clearly they've been the best team in the NBA.
But I'll tell you this, in the Eastern Conference, the
only place I can see a quote upset is four
or five. Right, That's the only place I can see
an upset is four or five. Because the Cavaliers will win.
The Celtics are gonna win. I know, we're trying to
make this. The Knicks should beat the Pistons in their sleep, right.
(05:11):
I mean they're even trying, the New York Papers to
make Kate Cunningham out to be like the next Tray
Young or Reggie Miller, Like, the Knicks should win this
series easily.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
He's very good. There aren't three kid Cunninghams on Detruit.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
No, there's not.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
There should be no upsets. Really, when you get to
four or five, is that really an upset? No, there
should be no upsets in the East. But if you
said to me the Western Conference, I would say, yeah.
I could see each of the higher seeded teams losing.
I could see something happening to Oklahoma City and John
Morant getting hot and having one of those Ja Morant
types of my god, he's got forty in the first game,
forty five in the second game. I could see that happening.
(05:45):
I could see the Warriors pulling an upset over the
over the Rockets in the Frot. I could see each
game being so close and coming down to the end,
and the Rockets not having a guy to take that
final shot.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I could see it. I could see the.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
T Wolves and Anthony Edwards showing up and just their youth,
running rough shot over the lake.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I could see all of those.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I could see the Clippers winning in because who knows
what's going on with the Nuggets with their new coaching situation,
Kawhi's healthy. I can see all of that in the West.
I can see none of it in the East, not
at all.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
The Clippers have won eight games in a row, the
Clippers last month and a half eighteen and three. And
remember they had a pressure game last Sunday to finish
the regular season and came through on the on the
road overtime pressure. And I really like how things are trending.
It's kind of the opposite how things were going for
this Memphis crew for quite a while, because their second
(06:35):
half performance did not match the good first half for them,
and yet they played their way in quite literally to
the postseason. The bad news is your star player did
get hurt undeniably on Tuesday with the Jah Morant sprained ankle. Yes,
he played starters minutes tonight, not only started but played
a regular number of minutes and did have twenty two points,
(06:56):
but the shooting wasn't there. It was seven of twenty four.
He only made one three pointer, one out of five
and do they have time off. No, because Game one
of their series is Sunday and it's not a Memphis
They had a home game tonight. They'll be in Oklahoma
City on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So when we look back now that the playing round
is over and we see the teams going in and look,
I thought the Mavericks would be the big winners. They
had all kinds of pressure. They let me down. So
you know, okay, it happens. Thanks Mavericks, I appreciate it.
I tried to have your back.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I was.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I was right all the way until you know, showing
up tonight, because they had a run in the third
quarter that got them to within eight and then that
was as close as it.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
So you're saying you showed up tonight and they did.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, I showed up tonight. Yeah I showed up. Theyta.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
So you know what you're gonna be saying for the
rest of the show this.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Evening, fire and Day.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I did more effort getting in my car and driving
up here on the four h five than they did tonight.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I thought defense wins championship.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Does Memphis had one twenty tonight?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, Well, well the Memphis defense was good. Edit one
champion went, they stopped everybody not named Davis.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
You imagine what the offense would have been for Dallas
tonight if Anthony Davis had not been on the court. Ooh,
final score had been Yeah, okay, hang on, so let's
just practice run twenty to eighty maybe, well no, I'm
just taking numbers out one, twenty to fifty five.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
It would not have been pretty.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
The guy scored forty and they they realistically did not
come close. They had that little run right after halftime.
They got him within ten, but they were down what
was it, twenty two in the first half. Yeah, they
were down about that in the first quarter.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
They were down thirty four to fourteen.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
It was like a Cowboys game, except it wasn't at home,
so it's not the Mavericks. But I'll tell you who
the biggest winner of the play in week was. Who
is the biggest winner of the play Well, all the
games are over, we know going on, we know who's
got a chance, we know who doesn't.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Isn't the biggest winner of the play in week usually
the team that doesn't play in the play in week.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Well, yeah, it's kind of like war games. The only
way to win is not not playing. But the biggest
winner of the playing round is Tyler Hero. Okay, thirty
points tonight, the big three that clinches the win in overtime,
Tyler Hero because he has proven now that he's a one.
He is a franchise player that the Heat can build around.
(09:05):
Who won the most Tyler Hero?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
The Heat. No, they're not going to show up and
do anything against the Cavaliers. It's not.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
The Cavaliers are just too good their offense. They're going
to roll over them. But Hero now has gone from
hey intriguing player coming out of the draft, six Man
of the Year, first time All Star this year, and
now you see in the playing round he was terrific
and with the big shots down the stretch here he
is proven. He's a one. He's a guy, he is
(09:32):
a franchise player. And his contract, I mean, he's making
a lot of money the next couple of years, but
he's not making incredible Jokic six million dollars a year money. No,
he's he's under contract two more years. I think it's
just over thirty million dollars a year he's getting the
next two years. The Heat are big winners and and
Hero is the biggest because they now know he is
(09:53):
our guy, and he's someone not only can you build
around him, it's easy to build around him. He can
play point guard, he can play off the ball. They
moved on from Jimmy Butler, and it was a big risk.
Do we really want to move on from the Jimmy
Butler era here? Because boy, we've had some times where
he snuck into the playoffs and got to the NBA finals.
Butler's been really something for this organization. But they took
(10:14):
that risk and stepping up into that void, Tyler hero
shown I'm not just a complimentary player. I'm not just
a two on a team. I can be a franchise player.
I can be a one in the NBA. I can
be an All NBA first or second team type player.
Because now he's gonna get more shots. He'll probably finish
in the top five and scoring next year in the NBA.
(10:36):
He has become that guy. He is the big winner
this week because here, hey not only responsibility wise, whatever
his next contract's going to be.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
He's twenty five years old. It's the east.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
You get the right couple of players around him, and
suddenly that he can be back at the top. He
is the big winner this week. He is now officially
I'm sold on him. I always thought he was a
good player, maturity issues earlier on in his career, but
he has proven he is that guy, he can be
that guy.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
And he's way over twenty points a game for the
season and scored thirty in the overtime win to eliminate
Atlanta tonight. But also, you always talk about for contending
teams a big three. When they got Andrew Wiggins, that's
eighteen points a game that you can stick into your lineup.
And it seems like maam Adebayou has been around forever,
but you know, he's still in his twenties and you
(11:24):
can always get points out of rebounds from points and
rebounds from him because he's been a very consistent starter
for this team. And the block shots as well. We've
seen the defense so much show that Team USA has
wanted him on teams as well. So Miami gets into
the play in despite the fact that they were, as
we mentioned earlier, a ten seed well below the five
hundred mark. As far as the future, they've got pieces
(11:47):
at least and something to add to this summer.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah, it's gonna be and that's the best part about
this summer in free agency, it's not quite about the
free agents who were going to be available. It's about
the list of stars that are suddenly going to be available.
I'm not gonna be surprised if Trey Young is made
available by the Hawks, right, Okay, Oh, we've tried it
with Trey. Either we gotta go crazy surrounding him with
something or move on. Rees Chet is the guy who's
(12:12):
our number one we're gonna build around. You know, he
had a horrendous game tonight. Joel Embiid is probably gonna
be out there to go get, Kevin Durant is gonna
be out there to go get. It's gonna be the players,
the stars, the teams are gonna want to move on from.
That's the best part. Forget about it. This is gonna
be where can we trade? Where can we make a move?
What can we do? There's gonna be so many big
names out there. Yeah, he could go get Kevin Durant. Okay,
(12:35):
we got a couple of guys that can shoot. Now,
is he the best fit there? I know he's the
best fit in Miami, but certainly, hey, you want to
trade Joel Embiid there you want to trade somebody else. Yeah,
there are players that are gonna be great fits, that
are gonna find a way and especially in the positionless NBA,
you'll find a way to get talent on the court
at all times. But that's gonna be the best part
of the offseason. Miami is gonna be a huge destination
(12:56):
because the team's looking to add big players.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Where else is better to go.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Olden State's going to want to add, Dallas is going
to want to add, and Miami's gonna want to add.
Those are your top three destinations. So already Miami's going
to be right at the top of Hey, where do
you want to go on the top of that list.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
And the teams that you just mentioned are not just
going to want to add the need to add. And
the good news if you're a team that was in
the play in, No, you're not drafting in the top ten.
You're not going to get a lottery thing. You're not
up for Cooper Flag. But there's some talent that we
saw in the NCAA tournament, guys that may have up
their stock a little bit that we'll be available outside
(13:32):
the top ten, but first still first rounders. So some
of the teams that we saw in the play in
this week are going to have a chance at like
Walter Clayton, who is in All American at Florida, or
McNeely of Yukon declared for the draft, or Jason Richardson
his kid Jason's from Michigan State already going into the draft.
One of those players is going to go to one
of these playing teams.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
No, Sweden did not have the winter Greenland Greenland, Yes, England, yes,
right there. Yeah, the vances went cleared out a big
field and we had the Olympics there. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
You don't know. Is this like a trick question? Is
there snow there?
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Well, if fishing can hold both, yeah, you know there's
I yeah, sure, there's sto don't I don't.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I don't remember. If there was snow in these games,
it was a while ago.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Of the five it was the furthest It was the
long one, longest ago, two thousand and six.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Do you know if it was artificial or real snow?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
It was probably well, let's see they pipe in sometimes,
you know, bird noises at the masters that aren't germane
in the area. So it could be artificial snow, it
could be dig could be both. Look at the snowfall.
Of course that is fake snow, but it looks good
on television at night with all the winter lights.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Fun facts. Every snowflake is different. What is that fifth country?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
The nineties, there was France, there was Japan Us, and then.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I was like, wait, Little Hammer in ninety two, and
then okay, no, it's not that. Alberville ninety four, I'm like, no,
it's not it.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Ninety eight was Salt Lake.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
So like, I'm like, no idea, no idea. But I
think one of you might have said the country when
you were trying to think about it a few seconds ago.
I thought it might have heard it from one of you.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Steve, please put us on your back. He's been putting
on the back door.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Old and you go, yeh Steve, Yeah to dose hype man.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
That's all. At least I'm something, you know. I think these.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Next Olympics are Italy, and I think those were Italy.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Very good touring in two because NBC kept calling them
the to Reno Olympics.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Oh yeah, the Grand to Reno Olympics.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
They were translating place names.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I said, you could have asked me for a month
and I would have not come up with You could
have said, if you had said it it begins with
the tea and rhymes with urin, I would have said,
oh Turin. Yeah, I would never come up with turn.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
By the way, you don't translate the place name just
for the record, I know it makes you sound no,
no, no authentic. But if we had the Barcelona Olympics, did
you call them the bar Slona.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Olympics Vancouver translates to Vancouver. No, I mean I hey, Vancouver.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
The cove. It's just the cove. It's the cove.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
He used to work here.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
There was the there was your question. Now you could
you get two points for every correct answer? They got
four out of five. They also did not get Italy.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Yeah, typical of my advancing years. Got it eventually. But
if I ever went on Jeopardy, I would have been saying, Alex,
can you hold on a few seconds?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, yeah, he just give me a minute, Just give
me a minute.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
You can edit this in post. What are you talking about?
You can edit this. It's not live. Yeah, yeah, we're fine.
It right here.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Just play the music and just cut away to me.
I've done that so many times in my career.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I could do that.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Oh, so there it is, So there is. Your trip
was the fifth one of the night. Oh my god,
really Italy?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Oh she's Mike was on. I couldn't hear it. Now
if we were in.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Italy, I'd make your bed so just so you know,
that's nice of you. Okay, No, that's from a movie. Oh,
from stripes in Italy.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
It's a big movie stripe really really was. It was
on the way to a God.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
For other reference, if I if we were in Italy,
I'd make your bed and there'd be ahead of a
horse in it.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Come into my house and you sleep on my bed.
Look at all you can't refuse is that your John
Wick impression? Was that your John Wick? Right there? I
don't like creeps, by.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
The way, just for everybody who's younger than the two
of us. In fact, I the quote I was not
born yet is not an excuse. I never saw Sandy
Kofax pitch. I know who Sandy Cofax is.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah, Shay between.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I've never seen I don't know anybody who's ever seen
Babe Bruce play. I know who Baby Bruce.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I guarantee you Shay has no idea who Sandy Cofax is.
Of course you know ahead of him. Come okay, well
what position did you play? Picture on the Dodgers?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Okay, well, I'm a Dodger fans right handed or left handed?
Speaker 3 (21:59):
He was a lefty? Okay, very good? Come on. He
was also the best Jewish pitcher to ever play.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah, okay, come on, let me eat right now, right, okay, yay, okay,
I give me more.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Come on. I say this.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Because when I was in fifth grade, okay, or when
I was young, you know, I used to read all
baseball books, right, and my mom got me The Baseball
Life of Sandy Kofax, like in third grade, and I
read it cover to cover like three four times, right.
And I did a book report on the Baseball Life
of Sandy Colfax in third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
And at the end of fifth grade, I remember going back,
I wanted to look at that, you know, everything about
Sandy Cofax's life. Crazy, how his parents just missed being
on a deadly trained collision when he was young, and
all this stuff. Who he roomed with when he first
got to.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
The college basketball player for Cincinnati had a big baseball game.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
He was eight feet tall back then.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
It was great, So I said, okay, so I did,
and I went to go look for the books. I
wanted to look something up on it. And this is like,
I don't know, I think it was in like sixth
grade at this point or something, and I couldn't find
it and I'm like, and I go, mom, hey, where's
my Baseball Life of Sandy Kopek's book? And she goes, Oh,
I threw that away. Go why did you throw it away?
She goes, because I wasn't going to have you do
another book report on that book.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
I was like, you didn't have to throw it away.
I threw it away.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Just tell me and then keep the book.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I know she threw it away. She threw it.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Hey, speaking of baseball, time not to let you know
about our Express Employment Professionals pro of the Week. Now
I could do it easy and Okay, now we're done.
We're done with the past. Captain America song.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
I know you do. I know, we're done. Down cap
We're done. That's at.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
A long long time.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Well it's from the Avengers. That's Captain America's song. So
you know, we go back and tell and I tell
a story about my life. We now Tysher plays, then
we don't even play the song version. It's Tysher doing the.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Is that really just the song?
Speaker 5 (24:00):
That's literally Look, I'm gonna push play right now and
YouTube here we go. It's not what it is. It is,
that's not what it is. YouTube literally hit me up.
It was like, hey, do you mind if like we
use this Marvel for sure use your version of A
Long Longer.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
It's their version. Marvel actually hit them up too. He
was like, we need this, we need this.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah, Kevin Figi's gonna sue you. Hey, wait a minute,
Wait a minute. I just got idea for an entirely
new phase of Marvel Off.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Now, Jason, you said this, come up with the title
for a movie, and you can make a whole movie
around it. Right, Yeah, they're gonna make a whole new
Captain America because of that song.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
They're gonna call it Captain America. It's been a long
long time, yes, and.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Then is just gonna go. Once upon a.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Time, one title of a movie was Dude Wears My Car.
So you can't get the title first, Oh, sure, movie around?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah, I mean the titles I think of, like, you know,
searching for Bobby Fisher wrestling, Ernest Hemingway being John Malkovich.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
You know for Bobby Fisher was Crampis Lumper Connon Space
Larnce Fishburne was in that movie.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, good Phil Hum Jason to stop, not okay, not
movies that you can watch on you know YouTube after dark?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Are you sure?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
I shouldn't say no, you shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Say any of those things. None of those things. None
of those things. Instead, we're gonna talk about the Express
pros Pro of the Week. That's what we're doing now.
I could make it easy and make it Francisco Lindor
because of the walk off home run he had tonight
and the Mets winning a huge game in Lindor getting
doubts as he routed the plate, winning a game with
a walk up take that one, so to put so so.
(25:32):
But instead we're gonna spotlight a kid who has been
a Baltimore Orioles fan super fan for the last few years.
Diagnosed with autism at birth, he goes to all the
games with his family. He is a big super fan.
Jacob Nupp is a name that's been synonymous with Orioles
fans throughout the last few years when you go to
Camden Yards and see a game, and this week he
(25:53):
got the chance to be in the broadcast booth, which
was his dream. So, Jacob Nupp, you get to be
the Express pros Pro of the Week. The pitch Ohrn
HiT's as high in the air the center field Thomas
is back.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
He's at the wall.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
And that baby, it's God tell you, I tell you.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
No. They want to make sure I think it was
a homer. And now they're officially calling a home run.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
It's a three run homer, Jacob, why don't you say
it loud and proud?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Whoa right?
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Oh man? Congratulations Jacob Nuppho got to call that that?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Like all of a sudden, I'm like, wow, if he
could have called Lindor's home run walk off tonight, then
I'm like, wait a minute, I wanted to call Lindor's
walk off home run tonight. Hang on a second, because
then you know that's the thing I would call a
walk off home run, and you have to worry about
hitting the dump button on me because I would say
something like Lindor Darren Blanking goes take that, Cardinals.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
You would have had the same yelling in the top
of the inning as well. Yeah, the long ball off
whoever was masquerading as the Mets.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
The Brazvan, Yeah, it happens to that. That's what I
but congratulates to Jacob Nupp. He is your Express Deployment
Professionals pro of the Week. Express Deployment Professionals can provide
contract workers to flex up for peak seasons without having
to raise your core workforce headcount. Manage your workforce differently.

(27:19):
team next Thursday in the Draft that'll be right here

pm Eastern. Throughout the end of the first Jay Glazer,
LeVar Arrington, Jenny Taft, former Jets, GM, Joe Douglas.
Speaker 3 (27:33):

Speaker 1 (27:36):
They'll be giving you all the pick by pick predictions
and reactions to every selection next Thursday, eight pm Eastern,
right here on Fox Sports Radio, throughout the first round
of the draft, presented by Express Pros. That, of course,
our show takes over from there at the end of
the first round. Now, when it comes to the draft, Steve,
I'm ready to lock in what I know for certain.
(27:57):
The first three picks of the draft are gonna be.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
After the last time.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
That's been the big question has been and not like that,
and I like that it's been so far trying to
figure out where people are going to go right. We
don't get that every year where, but this year's Who's
gonna go one? What's gonna happen here? They are questions
for the first few picks all the way through, but
now I think it's over right.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Cam Moore to the Titans.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, he was on a he was on a twitch
stream this week doing a live stream and was asked,
who are your who are the the best running backs
in the NFL? And he said, well, Tony Pollard and
Spears the two guys and Titans have Okay, who are
the best receivers in the NFL? And it was top four?
He had Calvin Ridley and Treylon Burks. Okay, so he's
(28:41):
got to I mean really, Burks is the fourth.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Best tollback, lorenzo'neill. Yes, Kevin Dyson is one of the
best received on.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Billy White shoes. Johnson is by the best receivers, Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Billy Cannon is so great.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Mike Barber is the best tight end, absolute hundred percent. Yes,
Warren Moon, Yeah, so you know he's going to to
the Tights. Okay, fine? At two, the Browns are taking
Travis Hunter. They have done as much as they could
to tell us we don't feel the need to take
a quarterback. Jimmy Hasselm even said, we don't feel the need.
We don't want to be rushing too taking a quarterback.
When you pick second and there's two quarterbacks that are
(29:16):
talking about, whether it's Cam War Chudoor Sanders. If you're
saying you're not gonna be rushing to taking a quarterback,
it means you're not taking a guy at two. And
Andrew Berry, the Browns GM, who yesterday, I know the
Browns listened to the show because it was two nights ago.
I said, Hey, of course you're gonna have Travis Hunter
play both ways. He's Otani of the NFL. Why would
you not. This is why you're drafting him. He's a unicorn.
(29:37):
What did Andrew Berry say yesterday in the press conference?
He's a unicorn? Why he's like the Otani of the NFL. Okay,
so thank you, I'm a shadow GM, but we knew
that already. And secondly, you don't call a guy the
Otani of the NFL and then pass on him, because
then it would be Hey, you passed on the Ottani
of the NFL. How can you say you got a
better need. So I know Travis Hunter is going number two.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Just as long as they don't Devil Sweeney quote coming
up here, as long as they call somebody Deshaun Watson,
he's like the Michael Jordan if you're passing on him. Yeah, yeah,
how at that age.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Now when it comes to the third pick, when it
comes to the Giants, Yes, they've been working out with
Shador Sanders. We'll have more and Shoulder Sanders coming up
in a few minutes. I'm a big Bowl prediction on
Shador coming up. May Or may not need a quarnerback
with the Giants. Yeah, the Giants have been talking to him,
but I think that's gonna be more of Hey, if
he falls through the draft, maybe we'd come back up
to get him. The betting odds on Abdual Carter going
(30:34):
third overall are just insanely through the roof. This is
how the Giants like to build. Right. When their team
was dominant three years ago, it was their defensive line
and Timbodeaux was really good and that's how they won. Yeah,
Daniel Jones was really good for a couple of weeks,
but their defensive line was the best defensive line in
the NFL. They have a chance to get the preeminent
defensive line edge rusher in the game, and Abdul Carter
(30:57):
that's who they're gonna go get. They will get Carter,
They're going to put them on that edge and that's
going to be at That's absolutely who the Giants are
going to get. So now all the drama, we thought
it's going to go cam Ward, Travis Hunter, Abdull Carter.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
And that would be actually bad news for the New
England Patriots who select four, because that means they're not
going to have the two way star athlete falling to them,
and they're not going to have the edge rusher falling
to them. So the quarterback who might be falling in
the draft, who says the Patriots need a quarterback, as
you mentioned, if Shodoor Sanders is still available down to
(31:31):
the ten or outside the top ten, then yeah, even
a Giants or somebody could trade up and say, oh,
maybe we get two first round picks this year. No,
you're not going to have to give up as much
for somebody who may be falling out of the top
ten to move up in the draft. In other words,
I still think it's a decent enough price, because everybody
(31:52):
knows what you're going after and they still got you
over a barrel.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
One hundred percent. So where is he going to wind up?
Speaker 1 (31:57):
We'll have that coming up in a few minutes, but
right now, speaking of Francisco Lindor in that walk off
home run, Steve to send you as a details on
that game and more with what's trending.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Yeah, we might get to that. There was the NBA
play In Tournament that ended tonight. It was Memphis eliminating
Dallas one twenty to one oh six despite forty points

days uh this is what's gonna happen once you get.
To Nine the saints are. Gonna Pick the saints are
Gonna Take.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Jackson. Dart uh they spent a lot of time. With
Him the saints have been. Very quiet they're not just
gonna Suddenly Take shador sanders because. He's available you.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Spend a lot of time with.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
A guy they need, a quarterback Especially With derek carr's Season,
in jeopardy you gotta. Get one, They, know okay we
have to take a bit of. A risk but you're
not taking a risk one. Or two you're taking a
risk At Nine Jackson.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
Dart so he's just going straight South To.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
New, orleans yep That that Mississippi to newark. At work
it Worked With. Archie manning i'll tell you that it
Almost To new orleans. Pipeline work it'll be that's where they're.
Speaker 4 (37:40):
Gonna go and for those who haven't heard THE recent nfl,
network reports they may not have this starting quarterback from
previous years available.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
In car so what's gonna happen once you get? Past
nine nobody really needs. A quarterback so now you're gonna
see teams engaging in a lot. Of poker where do
we when do we need to strike to make that
move up to get a quarterback where we're giving up
the least we have to give up to get into
that early second half of the. First, round right once
(38:11):
you get a little bit, Past, fifteen okay this is
where it's really. Gonna begin in Earnest. The giants i'm
sure we're gonna try to get back up there and
get a quarterback and try To Get. Schador SANDERS but
i go by the philosophy that the most desperate team
is always gonna make the deal that has. To happen
and it kills me to say this because they've been
biffing the quarterback position for the last, two years treating
(38:32):
it like it's a necessary evil and you can't win.
That way but when it comes, to It the steelers will.
Move up they'll move up four or, five slots whatever
it is To Get. Shador sanders and they're gonna sit
there and pat themselves on the back, and say look
at what.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
We did we told you we're gonna get.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
A quarterback now We, have shador, And look Shador to
pittsburgh is a, phenomenal, Fit right Sanders With, Mike tomlin
tomlin showing them. The, ropes yes if you're worried about
Your door sanders, outside ego that's the guy to go.
Play with but the guy to go play the game
the right way to be on a really good team
that is set up with talent. Around him you have
two really, good receivers you have a good. RUNNING game
(39:10):
i mean every Year the steelers are loaded to. An
extent this is who's gonna jump up To Get. Shador
sanders and it upsets me Because the steelers And the
giants and a couple, of teams they are teams and
things always seem to work out, for, like oh no matter,
what happens they.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Work out they step in it to work out, that
well For the giants.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Last, Year, no, but generally well for the majority of, My,
life steve for the fifty, Four years i'm gonna tak
it As. The jets it's worked okay For the, Giants
context but For the steelers it always seems to. Work
out they always, Figure out oh look, at this this free.
Agent signing this guy's gonna be here for. A, decade
now it will work out, for them and it's gonna,
of course That's Where shador sanders is going to.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Wind up he will be With.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
The steelers pittsburgh is set at number twenty. One overall
so when you talk about possibly this quarterback falling out
of the top ten or falling past if It's Past?
New orleans actually, see that.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Did he Falls Past?
Speaker 5 (40:03):
New?
Speaker 3 (40:03):
ORLEANS yeah i mean moving Up. To no here's the
thing is what.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Doesn't impress You about Sanders?
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Over, dart well the thing is how much time are
they Spent with Youd? Or sanders do?
Speaker 1 (40:12):
They really they spend A lot if you spend a
lot of time with, a guy and they Have With jackson, Dart,
like okay this is.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Our guy we.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Just did we can't we can't hide the fact that
we spend time, with him but they're not talking about
him where they want. To go they're keeping they're playing
it close to. The vest and The reason pittsburgh's gonna
come up to get To get sanders, is, Because well
dart goes, at nine and then they will have the
least to give up of the teams that need a
quarterback from twenty one, to, fifteen sixteen whatever. It is
(40:39):
so they're gonna give up the least out of anybody
to move, up there more Than, the giants who would
have to make a big thing to.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Move Up the steelers will wind up with.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
With him What if pittsburgh actually makes the Trade With
new orleans and they flip spots from nine to, twenty
one and you can Still get dart at twenty one because,
he's passing as, you say a bunch of teams that
don't need, a Quarterback, But, dallas miami those teams are
not gonna be. Taking quarterback but.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
Do you need to make that move To get sanders
or do you feel pretty confident that We know schador
is gonna be, Our guy you're Gonna, Take dart we're
gonna we're gonna do you have to Know the, saints,
thinking yeah we're gonna we're Gonna. Take shador this is
what we're.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
Gonna do so You're saying pittsburgh at number twenty one
overall trades up to fifteen.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Somewhere, somewhere, fifteen sixteen Because the giants will try to
get up there just in Front. Of pittsburgh but again
again going from twenty one, to fifty going from twenty one,
to nine oh, my goodness you'd have to Give up
you Look The jimmy, johnson.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Chart right this is what you give up for. A
picker but twenty one it's.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Not a personal walker trade and it's. Still doable but
twenty one to fifteen or sixteen is not. That much
you don't lose a lot. Of assets And the steelers love,
draft assets but, they're, gonna unfortunately have to give up,
a couple but that's what.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
They'll do but the team at Fifteen is atlanta and
they just made draft four quarterbacks.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Final minute of the game, My Mavericks aren't gonna get
it done. They need that MTV Rockin' Jock thirty point shot.
Outside of that not happening, some some of us remember
that the Grizzlies dribbling out the clock. It is one
eighteen one oh one, with twenty four seconds left to go.
The Grizzlies will be moving on into the NBA Playoffsky,
(01:11):
Mavericks will be going home, my Mavericks. No matter what
Anthony Davis tried to do tonight before he injured his legs,
somehow it was just not enough.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Mavericks failed.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Ad was sixteen of twenty nine from the floor.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
He was great.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
It's forty points and nine rebounds.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I was almost right that the Mavericks are gonna win
their way up, and I said an Ad is gonna
do it. Outside of winning this last game, I was
right about everything they won.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
The first game.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
AD was great. AD was great in this game. I
just you know the final score is you know, it.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Didn't do forty points in less than forty minutes on
the court. But as they wind down the final seconds,
it's gonna be Memphis going to OKC for a Sunday
Game one. Miami eliminated Atlanta, and so what do we have.
You've got teams this team twice this week, I should
say this Miami team. Since the current play in format
(02:04):
was launched four years ago, there hadn't been a ten
seed in either conference actually make the playoffs come the weekend,
and Miami, what do you know? They won twice on
the road this week. That was what Dallas was facing.
Dallas is officially out. Now that's going to be a final.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
But I just feel really good about that, Stevie. You
want to don't want to just be I was about.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
To say no, I was about to say that is
a final, and somebody just committed a foul with five.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Seconds The Mavericks just committed a foul. So now I
believe Memphis is going to the free throw line up
one eighteen to one oh three with five seconds left.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
And the guys on the floor are genuinely laughing out loud, like.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
What is what is? What's happening?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Heh're gonna foul? Said, Okay, great, we'll get to one twenty.
Maybe maybe in Memphis they get tacos at one twenty,
I don't know. Maybe be excited they get tacos at
one twenty. Somebody's getting into the box score at least.
But I agree that we don't expect lower seeds to
be doing much. You're making noise come the first round,
best of sevens.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
No, But here's the thing. Memphis is not. You hear
this long.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Memphis is not your average eight seed, and they're not
because this is a team that nearly won fifty games, right,
you're a forty eight win team. They're pretty good. Oklahoma
City is gonna have their hands full a little bit
in this series.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Just need to be the team they were first half
of the season.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Now the East, no, forget it.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I mean, I don't know that the Heat even scored
more than twenty points in the game against the Cavaliers.
So yeah, the seven and eight teams in the East
aren't doing anything. Seven to eight teams in the West, hey,
you got a couple of good teams right there. Already,
the war are favored to beat the Rockets in the
second round. In the first round of the playoffs, So yeah,
the two seed Western Conference playoffs are gonna be a
(03:44):
warm It's gonna be murder this next few weeks with
the Western Conference.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
That's the two seed Houston Rockets. Not to skip over that,
but as we mentioned earlier in the show, most of
the teams in the Western Conference won about fifty games
except for Oklahoma City, which just was ridiculously dominant at
sixty eight and fourteen this year. That's the team that
Memphis is gonna go see starting on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
But most of these.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Other Western Conference playoff teams we'll see over the next
week or two did win about fifty games. Like, for example,
tomorrow the Nuggets Clippers series starts in Denver. They each
won fifty. The Lakers won fifty, but they got the
three seed because of a tiebreaker. Minnesota almost fifty, Houston
just over fifty. Golden State is the team that has
surprisingly been in the play in multiple times.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
They're also the official one of the official teams in
the Way.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Play are the mascot in the Western Conference. For that,
Golden State wound up playing earlier this week, wound up
winning at home against this Memphis crew, and then guess what,
As it turns out, Golden State advances to start this weekend,
and now Memphis advances to start a series this weekend.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Now, look, Oklahoma City's been great, right, They've been great
all season. Clearly they've been the best team in the NBA.
But I'll tell you this, in the Eastern Conference, the
only place I can see a quote upset is four
or five. Right, That's the only place I can see
an upset is four or five. Because the Cavaliers will win.
The Celtics are gonna win. I know, we're trying to
make this. The Knicks should beat the Pistons in their sleep, right.
(05:11):
I mean they're even trying, the New York Papers to
make Kate Cunningham out to be like the next Tray
Young or Reggie Miller, Like, the Knicks should win this
series easily.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
He's very good. There aren't three kid Cunninghams on Detruit.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
No, there's not.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
There should be no upsets. Really, when you get to
four or five, is that really an upset? No, there
should be no upsets in the East. But if you
said to me the Western Conference, I would say, yeah.
I could see each of the higher seeded teams losing.
I could see something happening to Oklahoma City and John
Morant getting hot and having one of those Ja Morant
types of my god, he's got forty in the first game,
forty five in the second game. I could see that happening.
(05:45):
I could see the Warriors pulling an upset over the
over the Rockets in the Frot. I could see each
game being so close and coming down to the end,
and the Rockets not having a guy to take that
final shot.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I could see it. I could see the.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
T Wolves and Anthony Edwards showing up and just their youth,
running rough shot over the lake.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I could see all of those.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I could see the Clippers winning in because who knows
what's going on with the Nuggets with their new coaching situation,
Kawhi's healthy. I can see all of that in the West.
I can see none of it in the East, not
at all.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
The Clippers have won eight games in a row, the
Clippers last month and a half eighteen and three. And
remember they had a pressure game last Sunday to finish
the regular season and came through on the on the
road overtime pressure. And I really like how things are trending.
It's kind of the opposite how things were going for
this Memphis crew for quite a while, because their second
(06:35):
half performance did not match the good first half for them,
and yet they played their way in quite literally to
the postseason. The bad news is your star player did
get hurt undeniably on Tuesday with the Jah Morant sprained ankle. Yes,
he played starters minutes tonight, not only started but played
a regular number of minutes and did have twenty two points,
(06:56):
but the shooting wasn't there. It was seven of twenty four.
He only made one three pointer, one out of five
and do they have time off. No, because Game one
of their series is Sunday and it's not a Memphis
They had a home game tonight. They'll be in Oklahoma
City on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So when we look back now that the playing round
is over and we see the teams going in and look,
I thought the Mavericks would be the big winners. They
had all kinds of pressure. They let me down. So
you know, okay, it happens. Thanks Mavericks, I appreciate it.
I tried to have your back.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I was.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I was right all the way until you know, showing
up tonight, because they had a run in the third
quarter that got them to within eight and then that
was as close as it.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
So you're saying you showed up tonight and they did.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, I showed up tonight. Yeah I showed up. Theyta.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
So you know what you're gonna be saying for the
rest of the show this.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Evening, fire and Day.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I did more effort getting in my car and driving
up here on the four h five than they did tonight.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I thought defense wins championship.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Does Memphis had one twenty tonight?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, Well, well the Memphis defense was good. Edit one
champion went, they stopped everybody not named Davis.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
You imagine what the offense would have been for Dallas
tonight if Anthony Davis had not been on the court. Ooh,
final score had been Yeah, okay, hang on, so let's
just practice run twenty to eighty maybe, well no, I'm
just taking numbers out one, twenty to fifty five.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
It would not have been pretty.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
The guy scored forty and they they realistically did not
come close. They had that little run right after halftime.
They got him within ten, but they were down what
was it, twenty two in the first half. Yeah, they
were down about that in the first quarter.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
They were down thirty four to fourteen.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
It was like a Cowboys game, except it wasn't at home,
so it's not the Mavericks. But I'll tell you who
the biggest winner of the play in week was. Who
is the biggest winner of the play Well, all the
games are over, we know going on, we know who's
got a chance, we know who doesn't.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Isn't the biggest winner of the play in week usually
the team that doesn't play in the play in week.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Well, yeah, it's kind of like war games. The only
way to win is not not playing. But the biggest
winner of the playing round is Tyler Hero. Okay, thirty
points tonight, the big three that clinches the win in overtime,
Tyler Hero because he has proven now that he's a one.
He is a franchise player that the Heat can build around.
(09:05):
Who won the most Tyler Hero?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
The Heat. No, they're not going to show up and
do anything against the Cavaliers. It's not.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
The Cavaliers are just too good their offense. They're going
to roll over them. But Hero now has gone from
hey intriguing player coming out of the draft, six Man
of the Year, first time All Star this year, and
now you see in the playing round he was terrific
and with the big shots down the stretch here he
is proven. He's a one. He's a guy, he is
(09:32):
a franchise player. And his contract, I mean, he's making
a lot of money the next couple of years, but
he's not making incredible Jokic six million dollars a year money. No,
he's he's under contract two more years. I think it's
just over thirty million dollars a year he's getting the
next two years. The Heat are big winners and and
Hero is the biggest because they now know he is
(09:53):
our guy, and he's someone not only can you build
around him, it's easy to build around him. He can
play point guard, he can play off the ball. They
moved on from Jimmy Butler, and it was a big risk.
Do we really want to move on from the Jimmy
Butler era here? Because boy, we've had some times where
he snuck into the playoffs and got to the NBA finals.
Butler's been really something for this organization. But they took
(10:14):
that risk and stepping up into that void, Tyler hero
shown I'm not just a complimentary player. I'm not just
a two on a team. I can be a franchise player.
I can be a one in the NBA. I can
be an All NBA first or second team type player.
Because now he's gonna get more shots. He'll probably finish
in the top five and scoring next year in the NBA.
(10:36):
He has become that guy. He is the big winner
this week because here, hey not only responsibility wise, whatever
his next contract's going to be.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
He's twenty five years old. It's the east.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
You get the right couple of players around him, and
suddenly that he can be back at the top. He
is the big winner this week. He is now officially
I'm sold on him. I always thought he was a
good player, maturity issues earlier on in his career, but
he has proven he is that guy, he can be
that guy.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
And he's way over twenty points a game for the
season and scored thirty in the overtime win to eliminate
Atlanta tonight. But also, you always talk about for contending
teams a big three. When they got Andrew Wiggins, that's
eighteen points a game that you can stick into your lineup.
And it seems like maam Adebayou has been around forever,
but you know, he's still in his twenties and you
(11:24):
can always get points out of rebounds from points and
rebounds from him because he's been a very consistent starter
for this team. And the block shots as well. We've
seen the defense so much show that Team USA has
wanted him on teams as well. So Miami gets into
the play in despite the fact that they were, as
we mentioned earlier, a ten seed well below the five
hundred mark. As far as the future, they've got pieces
(11:47):
at least and something to add to this summer.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah, it's gonna be and that's the best part about
this summer in free agency, it's not quite about the
free agents who were going to be available. It's about
the list of stars that are suddenly going to be available.
I'm not gonna be surprised if Trey Young is made
available by the Hawks, right, Okay, Oh, we've tried it
with Trey. Either we gotta go crazy surrounding him with
something or move on. Rees Chet is the guy who's
(12:12):
our number one we're gonna build around. You know, he
had a horrendous game tonight. Joel Embiid is probably gonna
be out there to go get, Kevin Durant is gonna
be out there to go get. It's gonna be the players,
the stars, the teams are gonna want to move on from.
That's the best part. Forget about it. This is gonna
be where can we trade? Where can we make a move?
What can we do? There's gonna be so many big
names out there. Yeah, he could go get Kevin Durant. Okay,
(12:35):
we got a couple of guys that can shoot. Now,
is he the best fit there? I know he's the
best fit in Miami, but certainly, hey, you want to
trade Joel Embiid there you want to trade somebody else. Yeah,
there are players that are gonna be great fits, that
are gonna find a way and especially in the positionless NBA,
you'll find a way to get talent on the court
at all times. But that's gonna be the best part
of the offseason. Miami is gonna be a huge destination
(12:56):
because the team's looking to add big players.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Where else is better to go.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Olden State's going to want to add, Dallas is going
to want to add, and Miami's gonna want to add.
Those are your top three destinations. So already Miami's going
to be right at the top of Hey, where do
you want to go on the top of that list.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
And the teams that you just mentioned are not just
going to want to add the need to add. And
the good news if you're a team that was in
the play in, No, you're not drafting in the top ten.
You're not going to get a lottery thing. You're not
up for Cooper Flag. But there's some talent that we
saw in the NCAA tournament, guys that may have up
their stock a little bit that we'll be available outside
(13:32):
the top ten, but first still first rounders. So some
of the teams that we saw in the play in
this week are going to have a chance at like
Walter Clayton, who is in All American at Florida, or
McNeely of Yukon declared for the draft, or Jason Richardson
his kid Jason's from Michigan State already going into the draft.
One of those players is going to go to one
of these playing teams.

Too far for Salt Lake City. So Russia is one?
Speaker 4 (17:14):

Speaker 5 (17:25):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
When she asked Italy, when she asked me, I got

Pyeongyango Yang very good, South Korea very good.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
That's three? So you got three?
Speaker 4 (17:38):

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Beijing is four? Yes, very good.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
So that's what I got Canada, Russia, South Korea and China.
And I'm like, I have no I couldn't even tell
you where the last one was. I couldn't even tell
you and she told me no, and she told me
and I said, oh, yeah, yeah, that's that's the it was.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
No, Sweden did not have the winter Greenland Greenland, Yes, England, yes,
right there. Yeah, the vances went cleared out a big
field and we had the Olympics there. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
You don't know. Is this like a trick question? Is
there snow there?
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Well, if fishing can hold both, yeah, you know there's
I yeah, sure, there's sto don't I don't.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I don't remember. If there was snow in these games,
it was a while ago.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Of the five it was the furthest It was the
long one, longest ago, two thousand and six.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Do you know if it was artificial or real snow?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
It was probably well, let's see they pipe in sometimes,
you know, bird noises at the masters that aren't germane
in the area. So it could be artificial snow, it
could be dig could be both. Look at the snowfall.
Of course that is fake snow, but it looks good
on television at night with all the winter lights.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Fun facts. Every snowflake is different. What is that fifth country?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
The nineties, there was France, there was Japan Us, and then.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I was like, wait, Little Hammer in ninety two, and
then okay, no, it's not that. Alberville ninety four, I'm like, no,
it's not it.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Ninety eight was Salt Lake.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
So like, I'm like, no idea, no idea. But I
think one of you might have said the country when
you were trying to think about it a few seconds ago.
I thought it might have heard it from one of you.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Steve, please put us on your back. He's been putting
on the back door.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Old and you go, yeh Steve, Yeah to dose hype man.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
That's all. At least I'm something, you know. I think these.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Next Olympics are Italy, and I think those were Italy.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Very good touring in two because NBC kept calling them
the to Reno Olympics.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Oh yeah, the Grand to Reno Olympics.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
They were translating place names.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I said, you could have asked me for a month
and I would have not come up with You could
have said, if you had said it it begins with
the tea and rhymes with urin, I would have said,
oh Turin. Yeah, I would never come up with turn.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
By the way, you don't translate the place name just
for the record, I know it makes you sound no,
no, no authentic. But if we had the Barcelona Olympics, did
you call them the bar Slona.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Olympics Vancouver translates to Vancouver. No, I mean I hey, Vancouver.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
The cove. It's just the cove. It's the cove.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
He used to work here.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
There was the there was your question. Now you could
you get two points for every correct answer? They got
four out of five. They also did not get Italy.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Yeah, typical of my advancing years. Got it eventually. But
if I ever went on Jeopardy, I would have been saying, Alex,
can you hold on a few seconds?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, yeah, he just give me a minute, Just give
me a minute.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
You can edit this in post. What are you talking about?
You can edit this. It's not live. Yeah, yeah, we're fine.
It right here.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Just play the music and just cut away to me.
I've done that so many times in my career.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I could do that.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Oh, so there it is, So there is. Your trip
was the fifth one of the night. Oh my god,
really Italy?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Oh she's Mike was on. I couldn't hear it. Now
if we were in.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Italy, I'd make your bed so just so you know,
that's nice of you. Okay, No, that's from a movie. Oh,
from stripes in Italy.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
It's a big movie stripe really really was. It was
on the way to a God.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
For other reference, if I if we were in Italy,
I'd make your bed and there'd be ahead of a
horse in it.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Come into my house and you sleep on my bed.
Look at all you can't refuse is that your John
Wick impression? Was that your John Wick? Right there? I
don't like creeps, by.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
The way, just for everybody who's younger than the two
of us. In fact, I the quote I was not
born yet is not an excuse. I never saw Sandy
Kofax pitch. I know who Sandy Cofax is.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah, Shay between.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I've never seen I don't know anybody who's ever seen
Babe Bruce play. I know who Baby Bruce.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I guarantee you Shay has no idea who Sandy Cofax is.
Of course you know ahead of him. Come okay, well
what position did you play? Picture on the Dodgers?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Okay, well, I'm a Dodger fans right handed or left handed?
Speaker 3 (21:59):
He was a lefty? Okay, very good? Come on. He
was also the best Jewish pitcher to ever play.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah, okay, come on, let me eat right now, right, okay, yay, okay,
I give me more.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Come on. I say this.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Because when I was in fifth grade, okay, or when
I was young, you know, I used to read all
baseball books, right, and my mom got me The Baseball
Life of Sandy Kofax, like in third grade, and I
read it cover to cover like three four times, right.
And I did a book report on the Baseball Life
of Sandy Colfax in third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
And at the end of fifth grade, I remember going back,
I wanted to look at that, you know, everything about
Sandy Cofax's life. Crazy, how his parents just missed being
on a deadly trained collision when he was young, and
all this stuff. Who he roomed with when he first
got to.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
The college basketball player for Cincinnati had a big baseball game.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
He was eight feet tall back then.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
It was great, So I said, okay, so I did,
and I went to go look for the books. I
wanted to look something up on it. And this is like,
I don't know, I think it was in like sixth
grade at this point or something, and I couldn't find
it and I'm like, and I go, mom, hey, where's
my Baseball Life of Sandy Kopek's book? And she goes, Oh,
I threw that away. Go why did you throw it away?
She goes, because I wasn't going to have you do
another book report on that book.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
I was like, you didn't have to throw it away.
I threw it away.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Just tell me and then keep the book.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I know she threw it away. She threw it.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Hey, speaking of baseball, time not to let you know
about our Express Employment Professionals pro of the Week. Now
I could do it easy and Okay, now we're done.
We're done with the past. Captain America song.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
I know you do. I know, we're done. Down cap
We're done. That's at.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
A long long time.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Well it's from the Avengers. That's Captain America's song. So
you know, we go back and tell and I tell
a story about my life. We now Tysher plays, then
we don't even play the song version. It's Tysher doing the.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Is that really just the song?
Speaker 5 (24:00):
That's literally Look, I'm gonna push play right now and
YouTube here we go. It's not what it is. It is,
that's not what it is. YouTube literally hit me up.
It was like, hey, do you mind if like we
use this Marvel for sure use your version of A
Long Longer.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
It's their version. Marvel actually hit them up too. He
was like, we need this, we need this.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah, Kevin Figi's gonna sue you. Hey, wait a minute,
Wait a minute. I just got idea for an entirely
new phase of Marvel Off.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Now, Jason, you said this, come up with the title
for a movie, and you can make a whole movie
around it. Right, Yeah, they're gonna make a whole new
Captain America because of that song.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
They're gonna call it Captain America. It's been a long
long time, yes, and.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Then is just gonna go. Once upon a.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Time, one title of a movie was Dude Wears My Car.
So you can't get the title first, Oh, sure, movie around?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah, I mean the titles I think of, like, you know,
searching for Bobby Fisher wrestling, Ernest Hemingway being John Malkovich.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
You know for Bobby Fisher was Crampis Lumper Connon Space
Larnce Fishburne was in that movie.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, good Phil Hum Jason to stop, not okay, not
movies that you can watch on you know YouTube after dark?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Are you sure?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
I shouldn't say no, you shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Say any of those things. None of those things. None
of those things. Instead, we're gonna talk about the Express
pros Pro of the Week. That's what we're doing now.
I could make it easy and make it Francisco Lindor
because of the walk off home run he had tonight
and the Mets winning a huge game in Lindor getting
doubts as he routed the plate, winning a game with
a walk up take that one, so to put so so.
(25:32):
But instead we're gonna spotlight a kid who has been
a Baltimore Orioles fan super fan for the last few years.
Diagnosed with autism at birth, he goes to all the
games with his family. He is a big super fan.
Jacob Nupp is a name that's been synonymous with Orioles
fans throughout the last few years when you go to
Camden Yards and see a game, and this week he
(25:53):
got the chance to be in the broadcast booth, which
was his dream. So, Jacob Nupp, you get to be
the Express pros Pro of the Week. The pitch Ohrn
HiT's as high in the air the center field Thomas
is back.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
He's at the wall.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
And that baby, it's God tell you, I tell you.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
No. They want to make sure I think it was
a homer. And now they're officially calling a home run.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
It's a three run homer, Jacob, why don't you say
it loud and proud?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Whoa right?
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Oh man? Congratulations Jacob Nuppho got to call that that?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Like all of a sudden, I'm like, wow, if he
could have called Lindor's home run walk off tonight, then
I'm like, wait a minute, I wanted to call Lindor's
walk off home run tonight. Hang on a second, because
then you know that's the thing I would call a
walk off home run, and you have to worry about
hitting the dump button on me because I would say
something like Lindor Darren Blanking goes take that, Cardinals.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
You would have had the same yelling in the top
of the inning as well. Yeah, the long ball off
whoever was masquerading as the Mets.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
The Brazvan, Yeah, it happens to that. That's what I
but congratulates to Jacob Nupp. He is your Express Deployment
Professionals pro of the Week. Express Deployment Professionals can provide
contract workers to flex up for peak seasons without having
to raise your core workforce headcount. Manage your workforce differently.

(27:19):
team next Thursday in the Draft that'll be right here

pm Eastern. Throughout the end of the first Jay Glazer,
LeVar Arrington, Jenny Taft, former Jets, GM, Joe Douglas.
Speaker 3 (27:33):

Speaker 1 (27:36):
They'll be giving you all the pick by pick predictions
and reactions to every selection next Thursday, eight pm Eastern,
right here on Fox Sports Radio, throughout the first round
of the draft, presented by Express Pros. That, of course,
our show takes over from there at the end of
the first round. Now, when it comes to the draft, Steve,
I'm ready to lock in what I know for certain.
(27:57):
The first three picks of the draft are gonna be.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
After the last time.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
That's been the big question has been and not like that,
and I like that it's been so far trying to
figure out where people are going to go right. We
don't get that every year where, but this year's Who's
gonna go one? What's gonna happen here? They are questions
for the first few picks all the way through, but
now I think it's over right.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Cam Moore to the Titans.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, he was on a he was on a twitch
stream this week doing a live stream and was asked,
who are your who are the the best running backs
in the NFL? And he said, well, Tony Pollard and
Spears the two guys and Titans have Okay, who are
the best receivers in the NFL? And it was top four?
He had Calvin Ridley and Treylon Burks. Okay, so he's
(28:41):
got to I mean really, Burks is the fourth.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Best tollback, lorenzo'neill. Yes, Kevin Dyson is one of the
best received on.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Billy White shoes. Johnson is by the best receivers, Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Billy Cannon is so great.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Mike Barber is the best tight end, absolute hundred percent. Yes,
Warren Moon, Yeah, so you know he's going to to
the Tights. Okay, fine? At two, the Browns are taking
Travis Hunter. They have done as much as they could
to tell us we don't feel the need to take
a quarterback. Jimmy Hasselm even said, we don't feel the need.
We don't want to be rushing too taking a quarterback.
When you pick second and there's two quarterbacks that are
(29:16):
talking about, whether it's Cam War Chudoor Sanders. If you're
saying you're not gonna be rushing to taking a quarterback,
it means you're not taking a guy at two. And
Andrew Berry, the Browns GM, who yesterday, I know the
Browns listened to the show because it was two nights ago.
I said, Hey, of course you're gonna have Travis Hunter
play both ways. He's Otani of the NFL. Why would
you not. This is why you're drafting him. He's a unicorn.
(29:37):
What did Andrew Berry say yesterday in the press conference?
He's a unicorn? Why he's like the Otani of the NFL. Okay,
so thank you, I'm a shadow GM, but we knew
that already. And secondly, you don't call a guy the
Otani of the NFL and then pass on him, because
then it would be Hey, you passed on the Ottani
of the NFL. How can you say you got a
better need. So I know Travis Hunter is going number two.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Just as long as they don't Devil Sweeney quote coming
up here, as long as they call somebody Deshaun Watson,
he's like the Michael Jordan if you're passing on him. Yeah, yeah,
how at that age.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Now when it comes to the third pick, when it
comes to the Giants, Yes, they've been working out with
Shador Sanders. We'll have more and Shoulder Sanders coming up
in a few minutes. I'm a big Bowl prediction on
Shador coming up. May Or may not need a quarnerback
with the Giants. Yeah, the Giants have been talking to him,
but I think that's gonna be more of Hey, if
he falls through the draft, maybe we'd come back up
to get him. The betting odds on Abdual Carter going
(30:34):
third overall are just insanely through the roof. This is
how the Giants like to build. Right. When their team
was dominant three years ago, it was their defensive line
and Timbodeaux was really good and that's how they won. Yeah,
Daniel Jones was really good for a couple of weeks,
but their defensive line was the best defensive line in
the NFL. They have a chance to get the preeminent
defensive line edge rusher in the game, and Abdul Carter
(30:57):
that's who they're gonna go get. They will get Carter,
They're going to put them on that edge and that's
going to be at That's absolutely who the Giants are
going to get. So now all the drama, we thought
it's going to go cam Ward, Travis Hunter, Abdull Carter.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
And that would be actually bad news for the New
England Patriots who select four, because that means they're not
going to have the two way star athlete falling to them,
and they're not going to have the edge rusher falling
to them. So the quarterback who might be falling in
the draft, who says the Patriots need a quarterback, as
you mentioned, if Shodoor Sanders is still available down to
(31:31):
the ten or outside the top ten, then yeah, even
a Giants or somebody could trade up and say, oh,
maybe we get two first round picks this year. No,
you're not going to have to give up as much
for somebody who may be falling out of the top
ten to move up in the draft. In other words,
I still think it's a decent enough price, because everybody
(31:52):
knows what you're going after and they still got you
over a barrel.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
One hundred percent. So where is he going to wind up?
Speaker 1 (31:57):
We'll have that coming up in a few minutes, but
right now, speaking of Francisco Lindor in that walk off
home run, Steve to send you as a details on
that game and more with what's trending.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Yeah, we might get to that. There was the NBA
play In Tournament that ended tonight. It was Memphis eliminating
Dallas one twenty to one oh six despite forty points

days uh this is what's gonna happen once you get.
To Nine the saints are. Gonna Pick the saints are
Gonna Take.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Jackson. Dart uh they spent a lot of time. With
Him the saints have been. Very quiet they're not just
gonna Suddenly Take shador sanders because. He's available you.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Spend a lot of time with.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
A guy they need, a quarterback Especially With derek carr's Season,
in jeopardy you gotta. Get one, They, know okay we
have to take a bit of. A risk but you're
not taking a risk one. Or two you're taking a
risk At Nine Jackson.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
Dart so he's just going straight South To.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
New, orleans yep That that Mississippi to newark. At work
it Worked With. Archie manning i'll tell you that it
Almost To new orleans. Pipeline work it'll be that's where they're.
Speaker 4 (37:40):
Gonna go and for those who haven't heard THE recent nfl,
network reports they may not have this starting quarterback from
previous years available.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
In car so what's gonna happen once you get? Past
nine nobody really needs. A quarterback so now you're gonna
see teams engaging in a lot. Of poker where do
we when do we need to strike to make that
move up to get a quarterback where we're giving up
the least we have to give up to get into
that early second half of the. First, round right once
(38:11):
you get a little bit, Past, fifteen okay this is
where it's really. Gonna begin in Earnest. The giants i'm
sure we're gonna try to get back up there and
get a quarterback and try To Get. Schador SANDERS but
i go by the philosophy that the most desperate team
is always gonna make the deal that has. To happen
and it kills me to say this because they've been
biffing the quarterback position for the last, two years treating
(38:32):
it like it's a necessary evil and you can't win.
That way but when it comes, to It the steelers will.
Move up they'll move up four or, five slots whatever
it is To Get. Shador sanders and they're gonna sit
there and pat themselves on the back, and say look
at what.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
We did we told you we're gonna get.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
A quarterback now We, have shador, And look Shador to
pittsburgh is a, phenomenal, Fit right Sanders With, Mike tomlin
tomlin showing them. The, ropes yes if you're worried about
Your door sanders, outside ego that's the guy to go.
Play with but the guy to go play the game
the right way to be on a really good team
that is set up with talent. Around him you have
two really, good receivers you have a good. RUNNING game
(39:10):
i mean every Year the steelers are loaded to. An
extent this is who's gonna jump up To Get. Shador
sanders and it upsets me Because the steelers And the
giants and a couple, of teams they are teams and
things always seem to work out, for, like oh no matter,
what happens they.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Work out they step in it to work out, that
well For the giants.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Last, Year, no, but generally well for the majority of, My,
life steve for the fifty, Four years i'm gonna tak
it As. The jets it's worked okay For the, Giants
context but For the steelers it always seems to. Work
out they always, Figure out oh look, at this this free.
Agent signing this guy's gonna be here for. A, decade
now it will work out, for them and it's gonna,
of course That's Where shador sanders is going to.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Wind up he will be With.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
The steelers pittsburgh is set at number twenty. One overall
so when you talk about possibly this quarterback falling out
of the top ten or falling past if It's Past?
New orleans actually, see that.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Did he Falls Past?
Speaker 5 (40:03):
New?
Speaker 3 (40:03):
ORLEANS yeah i mean moving Up. To no here's the
thing is what.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Doesn't impress You about Sanders?
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Over, dart well the thing is how much time are
they Spent with Youd? Or sanders do?
Speaker 1 (40:12):
They really they spend A lot if you spend a
lot of time with, a guy and they Have With jackson, Dart,
like okay this is.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Our guy we.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Just did we can't we can't hide the fact that
we spend time, with him but they're not talking about
him where they want. To go they're keeping they're playing
it close to. The vest and The reason pittsburgh's gonna
come up to get To get sanders, is, Because well
dart goes, at nine and then they will have the
least to give up of the teams that need a
quarterback from twenty one, to, fifteen sixteen whatever. It is
(40:39):
so they're gonna give up the least out of anybody
to move, up there more Than, the giants who would
have to make a big thing to.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Move Up the steelers will wind up with.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
With him What if pittsburgh actually makes the Trade With
new orleans and they flip spots from nine to, twenty
one and you can Still get dart at twenty one because,
he's passing as, you say a bunch of teams that
don't need, a Quarterback, But, dallas miami those teams are
not gonna be. Taking quarterback but.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
Do you need to make that move To get sanders
or do you feel pretty confident that We know schador
is gonna be, Our guy you're Gonna, Take dart we're
gonna we're gonna do you have to Know the, saints,
thinking yeah we're gonna we're Gonna. Take shador this is
what we're.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
Gonna do so You're saying pittsburgh at number twenty one
overall trades up to fifteen.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Somewhere, somewhere, fifteen sixteen Because the giants will try to
get up there just in Front. Of pittsburgh but again
again going from twenty one, to fifty going from twenty one,
to nine oh, my goodness you'd have to Give up
you Look The jimmy, johnson.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Chart right this is what you give up for. A
picker but twenty one it's.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Not a personal walker trade and it's. Still doable but
twenty one to fifteen or sixteen is not. That much
you don't lose a lot. Of assets And the steelers love,
draft assets but, they're, gonna unfortunately have to give up,
a couple but that's what.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
They'll do but the team at Fifteen is atlanta and
