Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It is a Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio. LaVar,
Ben Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you filling in for
Dan and the guys here on this Thursday morning, Brady
(00:26):
LeVar found his AMMO. He was a little slow so
far we've seen have we seen like nine millimeters shotguns?
No blow dart yet he's currently pulling out. He's like,
(00:47):
job moran, Now he just detonated a bomb. There's all
sorts of stuff that does make me, what by have
a rooting interest. I would like to see Memphis get
into the postseason because hopefully John Morant is one hundred
percent ready to go. Because man, when the playoffs hit,
(01:09):
who knows what he's gonna pull out. I mean, he
might go he might go well wow wow, like he
might go musket, he might go none shucks. Like you
never know what Jamran is is working with. It's going
to have some violence connected to it though. That's that's
There's going to be a casualty at the end of
one of his celebrations. Sure will. Yeah. By the way,
(01:32):
we were doing this show here live from the ti
Raq dot Com studios ti rack dot com will help
you get there, an unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road has a protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Tiraq dot com the way tire buying should be. NFL
Draft is coming up soon. Can't get here fast enough.
With all the make belief stories that are out there.
(01:53):
One guy who was, Yeah, just some of this stuff
just sounds like garbage. Joe Shane, though, the general manager
for the New York Giants, who seems to be having
a much better offseason this year as opposed to last
year when it was played out on hard knocks. But
Joe Shane spoke with the media yesterday and not only
talked about the quarterback position as they sit at number three,
(02:16):
but also apparently they're getting some interest from other teams
as well too when it comes to their pick.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
With the signing of those two players, I think we
put our position ourselves in a position where you know,
I don't think that's mandatory or something that we're our
feet of the fire and we have to do. You know,
I think the two guys we signed have played a
lot of ball, They've got a lot of skins on
the wall, and I do think we've upgraded that room,
you know, compared to where it was a year ago.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I like the two guys that we have.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
And you know, Tommy's still in there and he's won
games for us too, and we're happy with the makeup
of the room right now.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
We'll be open to all options.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I mean those as strategy sessions have been ongoing and
you know, talking through different scenarios. So yeah, well we're
always going to be open to, you know, either or
of those scenarios.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
A lot of interests around teams looking to train up.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
We received some calls.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
We receive calls, all right. Abdul Carter call.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Abdul Carter is a three to one favorite to be
selected number three overall to the Giants.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
So well, that doesn't mean he'll be selected by the Giants.
It just means he's going to go number three overall.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (03:19):
I think what you said while Jonas was off that
he can't respond to because he wasn't here to hear
what you said, certainly, uh, certainly is more relevant and
in today's conversation than it was yesterday.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Boy.
Speaker 8 (03:37):
Professional co signing is always the best, especially when you
have supporters, you know, the league. Then you get Q
doing what he's doing with your You're just.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
Laughing at it because I didn't think he was going
to go there. And if we really want to be honest,
get out of the central Cubs really struggled h only
one of two versus the podere.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
You know what, let me tell you something shown you
worry about staying out away of those dolphin statues that
you walk by that you see.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
All right, buddy, I'm married exactly.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
Yeah, yeah, avoid avoid them breathing holes them blow the
hole anyway. So the point I'm making here you asked
the question on the show, Q, does this mean they're
trying to drive up the value of Shador Sanders to
entice a team to want want him at three where
(04:40):
they can trade down because they could still possibly get
the player that they would want without using that three pick.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I think, if I sit it correct.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
I actually don't think I said any of them.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Okay, well trade back at least right trade now.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
My thing was is there might be someone interested in
Abdul Carter because they don't have a need for Abdull Carter.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
They've got On Thibeau, they've got Brian Burrce.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
So we want to trade back because we feel like
we could still get a quarterback or get someone else
and an exchange get more draft.
Speaker 8 (05:10):
Cap the Giants, that being the Giants in this situation, right, Okay,
So I think that's more relevant now after hearing that
explanation from the GM than it ever has been. Honestly,
if I'm if I'm I'm being realistic, I'm calling Cap
on some of this stuff that's coming Shador Sanders way,
(05:31):
I'm calling Cap on that. I think people know his
talent level. I think they know what he brings to
the table, but in order to keep people off balance
on what it is that you would really like to do,
I think things like this happen sometimes, and it just
happens to be a little bit more coverage towards Shador
Sanders than what it would be maybe possibly for other
(05:54):
prospects in years past. But as it applies to the
New York Giants looking at that number three picky, if
they had no other recourse, nobody wants to offer them
what they want. They can't miss on this pick. They
really can't miss on this pick. And I think it's
just based upon the conversation that we had with Prisco,
(06:17):
is that they're facing losing their jobs, whether it's the GM,
whether it's the head coach, and whether they're able to
save themselves or not, it still seems to be a
pick that may give them some type of ammunition to
be able to make maybe a legitimate argument that they
(06:40):
should be able to retain their jobs and continue to
build this team out. I don't know how realistic that is,
but in listening to this, it might be way better
for the New York Giants to trade out of that
number three pick and hope that they can get more
draft capital and still be able to get a player
(07:02):
that they would really want with one of the high
draft picks that they would swap out with with the
team that would take that number three overall.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Because if you got if we were looking at the
top prospects and everyone says, well, it's Travis Hunter and
Abdul Carter and you can swap either one of those,
there's going to be a team who's going to look
at the Giants if if the point is listen, they
don't need abdul Carter, they've already got that position addressed.
That's going to be willing to give up a significant
amount for one of the top overall prospects in the draft.
(07:33):
So if you're Joe Shane, the Giants like, why would
you like, why would you take a quarterback? Why would
you go If it's too high to take an Ashton
gent team, maybe you could drop back and and and.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
But is it is it too high? I mean, didn't
they take say Quon at number two? Yeah, but it
was it was that hit. Clearly they weren't fans of his.
Clearly they made a tremendous mistake, is what they did
that the draft pick.
Speaker 7 (07:59):
Was doing different general manager right, that was David Gettleman.
And then you had Joe Shander came in and you
know he didn't prioritize paying that position the same way
the Eagles did.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I guess, well, that didn't look good. Doesn't look good.
But it was a hit. The pick was a hit.
So I don't think. I don't feel Ashton Genty should
be talked about more.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
I just I've said it. I feel it. You know,
I've talked about him the entire I've been talking about
Ashton Genty for at least.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Two or three years now, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
I've been really committed to talking about how really talented
this dude, is I've said to people, we haven't seen
him back like this since you know, Barry Sanders and
Eric Dickerson and the Pony Express and you know what,
and now people want to get on the bandwagon with
Ashton Genty.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
He's not being discussed.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
You say it enough, people will think it's true. Right, Yeah,
I mean that's what. That's the point.
Speaker 8 (08:59):
And now what I said, you could shoot it out
there like you really meant it. Oh yeah, I'm shooting
this like I really mean it. I mean, I didn't
hear this from one Braden Quinn. I just I just
figured that this is people are starting to catch on
to Ashton Genty and I'm here to tell you seriously though,
that isn't mine. I am a fan after seeing him play,
and I do think that it would be interesting to
(09:21):
see him go, you know, in top five picks top six,
which is very realistic. I don't think he gets past
Las Vegas. I don't. Now the question becomes who would
want to make that trade with New York? Who do
we think are the teams that have shown interest that
(09:44):
would possibly want If it's Abdul Carter or if it's
Travis Hunter, that happened to fall to number three. Who
would those do we have beton nods on who those
teams would be? No, but I've got you know, I've
got one that can make some sense. Who go on,
what do you got John's the Bears?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Oh god, it does make sense now, because here's why?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Is that? Because hold on?
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Is that because the new head coach made you know,
not like DeAndre Swift quite as much?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, I mean I think, yeah, he doesn't appear to
be a huge fan. But if it's a deep running
back draft class and you think you could get a
running back that could be quality at the next level
later on, maybe the Bears called the Giants. I'm talking
from the standpoint of Abdul Carter. Maybe they call up
and say, you can take the tenth pick, and we've
(10:36):
got the thirty ninth and the forty first pick as
well too. I mean, those are three picks in the
top forty plus. Why not if you're that interested or
you believe that you need help. From a pass rushing standpoint,
they haven't gotten great production from Montes Sweat, especially last year,
and they gave him a whole bunch of money. You know,
(10:57):
maybe they could hit up the Giants and be like,
are you would you be willing to drop back to
ten or is that too far to fall out to
still get a quality player? That's what is it?
Speaker 8 (11:06):
What does it look like if you're in the top
ten to trade a pick like say, for instance, the
news surfacing on vverybel wanting TJ. Watt in New England,
that means you want to edge rusher. And if you're
trying to get a TJ. Watt at the type of
dollar that you were trying to you're going to have
(11:28):
to pay to get them. Would it make sense to
try to swap out with swap out with New York
at that at that four pick and get somebody else
That way, you'd only drop one pick back and and
then you get you know, you get the differences.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
The difference is about four hundred points, which would essentially
be a second round pick.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
If you're looking at the traffic value chart.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
So that's typically what you would look at and say,
it's about fair compensation to be able to move up
or move back one pick.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
That's what you're looking for.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
So what that makes sense or not makes sense? If
you're New England, does that make sense to ensure that like, say,
for instance, there's another team that's like in I guess
range that wants to try to slip into that third space.
If Travis Hunter, or more specifically, in this particular moment,
(12:23):
based upon New England showing interest in TJ Watt, would
you try to get that number three pick so that
somebody doesn't swipe it from you if it were to
fall through with TJ Watt in trying to get this
trade done. Possibly, I mean, it just seems like it
would make sense. If I want a defense and the
edge rusher of the caliber or TJ Watt, and there's
(12:44):
somebody that could possibly trade up and take abdual Carter
before we get them, maybe it's like, okay, let's swap
this pick so we can make sure we.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Get Abdul Carter at three? Does that make sense?
Speaker 5 (12:55):
When's yes? When was the last time you heard anything
about vrabel?
Speaker 6 (12:59):
And?
Speaker 8 (13:00):
I think I read that yesterday? I'm if I'm not mistaken.
Do is that fake news? I believe I read that
though that there was interest.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
I remember seeing a while back. I don't remember seeing
it recently. I read it yesterday. Actually, that's that's why
I even brought it up just now because I was.
I saw a headline where it was like Vrabel is
interested the New England Patriots are interested in possibly because
I guess it doesn't seem like the negotiations are going
well in Pittsburgh, doesn't. I mean, from what I read,
(13:32):
it doesn't sound like it's maybe going to get done.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
This draft really needs something to happen. We need an advantage.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Well, what does it need?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I don't look, I don't condone this, I've never personally
done it. But if we could get somebody, like a
top pick to smoke weed a get out of a
gas mask, I think it would help everybody in their house.
It make it that much more interesting. There's not enough trades,
there's not enough trade scenarios, there's not enough positive feedback
on quarterbacks. So and so is moving uh soaring up
(14:06):
the draft charts. Everything's just negative doom and gloom. If
we could really put a smile on everybody's face and
just get somebody to you know, hit the hippie lettice
out of a gas mask on video, and that's anymore.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Listen. It worked out well for him. He's made one
hundred million dollars plus in his career. I don't even
think he has an agent, Laromie Tonsel. I think he's
represented himself for what is worth.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
I mean we went his weed guy helping him out.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
We had one of the most.
Speaker 8 (14:35):
Sadly, insanely bad happenings take place based upon the draft
this year. I mean bad, super bad. I mean, that's polarizing,
sad as hell that it happened. But I mean we
did have something crazy that that is being talked about.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Yeah, I know, I was.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I was kind of hoping we could, uh, you know.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
Not as deep as that, because that's super deep real,
that's like all the ways submerged. Yeah, okay, I'm just saying,
don't don't you gonna pick and choose where we're supposed
to stop on the spectrum.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I mean, there's just not a lot of I'm telling you, man,
I've mentioned this before. Brady made the best point a
couple of weeks ago when we talked about it on
our show. This draft really has no buzz outside of
and that's that's the thing is.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
It's one of the reasons why that Shador Sanders is
getting so much buzz. I mean, he's a bit of
a polarizing figure. But there's also the element of there's
nothing really else around it. And outside of these three,
I would say four prospects outside of Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter,
Will Campbell, and Ashton Genty, if you're looking at like
(15:42):
top overall prospects, there's a bit of a drop off.
And even with Will Campbell, people have you know, questioned
his arm length? I mean, outside of maybe Booker, for
a lot of the tackles, the ear least guys who
played tackle in college in this draft class, a lot
of these guys might get moved inside.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
The guard because of arm length. I'm not sure why
that is.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
I'm not sure if guys just popping out being three
hundred plus pounds with short arms now, but something's happening.
But anyway, the general point is there's just not as
much buzz around it, surrounding it. I actually think the
most fascinating thing to me, And I don't know why
I didn't know this, and I'm a little disappointed in
you two for not knowing this. Do you guys know
(16:21):
that the LA rams never invite any of the top
thirty prospects in for a visit.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
I don't know how you would be disappointed in me
for not knowing that, and I don't.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Because you guys are out in LA and you guys
are a little bit of like the like, Hey, what's up, man,
Let's go to Nobu over there in Melbu do our
whole like trendy thing here in the West coast.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
What's up? Bro?
Speaker 7 (16:44):
But I learned this because the new general manager, James
Gladstone with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who's you know him and
you know the rest of the scouting staff. They've implemented
the same exact strategies that the Rams would use. And
the reason why they don't invite in prospects at least
the top thirties because they don't want to tip their
(17:06):
hand to any of their team what they're going to
do in the first round. Now, they still are able
to meet with the teams or may excuse me, the
prospects via zoom. But that's all confidential, right. There's no
one really is saying like who the Jacksonville Jaguars are
zooming with. And when you do those visits, when you
bring players in, your medical staff is going to take
(17:26):
another look at them after the combine, for example. But
the combine is a pretty thorough physical evaluation, so you
don't really need much more unless there might be a
medical checkup, which again the NFL is going to handle
with the follow up checkup from the combine for those
guys who are still injured. So they basically you go
in on these visits, you meet some of the coaches,
you sit down and talk more. They test you on something,
(17:48):
you meet maybe some of the players other people who
are out there, but that's really it. They can't work
you out. So the strategy that they're implementing in Jacksonville,
the same that they have with the Rams, is something
that kind of fasts. It's me about this draft that
I don't recall ever hearing about in regards to the Rams,
Like I was not aware of that, and look, maybe
it doesn't matter. I would feel like from the prospect perspective,
(18:12):
not that you get a choice and who drafts you,
but I would want to go see like the facility,
I'd want to go meet some of the players. I'd
want to go get a vibe for the locker room
and the organization and getting a sense of all that. Right, Like,
it's kind of weird that from the Jaguars perspective, it
might be good for them at least in regards to
how they see the first round maybe the top end
of the second.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
But for the prospects, it doesn't help.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
You know.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
I mean you're literally getting drafted, had shipped off to
a place you've maybe never been to before. It's kind
of crazy when you think about it.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Maybe they think, if these guys see this place, they
won't want to be here, so let's just keep it quiet,
you know, like if they don't know how messy the
situation is. And I think the RAMS isn't the RAMS
stuff nice? Now?
Speaker 5 (18:53):
I mean, I guess.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
The Rams get most of their attention because they were
doing that thing that member Cliff Kingsbury had that real
nice house. Yeah, the Rams, I guess rent like some
beach house to where they do is their Manhattan beach
or whatever? I think. I think it was in Malibu,
and I'm almost positive there was like a COVID outbreak
one year and so they couldn't even like really partake
(19:17):
in it. It was her Mosa Beachley at whatever Malibu,
hermos so there's water nearby.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
I thought it was more of a South Bay, you know,
like down were like lighter and Robstone and those boys
are at South Bay Bros. I thought it was more
of that area only because they had like a public
area too, where there's like the.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Fans were involved and they could bring through some Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Which again, you you could do that in Jacksonville, like
you could remember that lady you know.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Oh they interviewed.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Oh yeah, we we have that that lady.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Uh, she should have this.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
iHeart Jacks fan. H Yeah, we're we're exorting. We're going
to take it to the limit.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Yeah, talked about her beach house that well it's not
quite a beach house. It's well walk for the beach.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
But yeah, she she's a big, diehard Jags fan. We're
efforting that. That sound by Uh So, let's see how
we're working behind the scenes here, a little vamped, little vamp,
little vamp Lee's working. Don't have it, dance Jonas. We
got nothing being I'm being shook off. We've got nothing.
(20:26):
I was calling for fast behind this and Lisha just
just give me thirty seconds. I'll send it to him.
They can turn this out. Well listen, all I know
is this is somebody's got to do something to spice
up this draft, all right, And and I don't know
what it's going to take. I don't know if it's
gonna be uh some sort of drama, some sort of
you know, maybe a CD LAMB moment where you know,
(20:47):
the girl he's sitting with tries to grab his phone
and he rips it out of her hand because he
looks check your text message says maybe maybe that wouldn't
be a great thing to have happened here on national television.
But we just need something here because there's just not
a whole lot of interesting storylines heading into this. So
Jacksonville not holding top thirty visits. I mean some would
(21:08):
argue they're not a top thirty team.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
So I'm just saying, isn't it interesting, Like wouldn't you
wouldn't you want to look at you know, some of
those prospects like have them come into your facility, seale,
they interact with players, maybe take them out to a meal,
See how that, see how that goes. That's the process,
Like a zoom interview is drastically different than what it's
going to be like when you actually have to have
(21:30):
them in your facility.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Oh yeah, listen to anybody who's been ahead a dating app
knows that, like, you know what what they what they
present the filters and everything, Oh, what they present to
you and your best single long enough to have used
dating apps?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Yeah, said there was a case. It's a Jonas.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
There was a time really yeah, you know, and yeah,
yeah are you sure about that? Positive? I go as, okay, yeah, positive,
leave you where you're at, you know, positive, there was
a time, but that you know, it's a long time ago.
But yeah, you know. Somebody says, uh, oh, I saw
a thumb go up? All right, Lee, what's the thumb
(22:09):
up mean? What does that mean?
Speaker 5 (22:10):
On radio?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
We got her? All right. We got to say, we're
going this is a Jags fan? Who last brush your
teeth or last brush you tooth? In nineteen eighty eight?
Who diehearts Jags fan? Let's let's take a listen.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Furst picks. They say they have the best draft in
the entire NFL. Are you surprised to hear that?
Speaker 6 (22:28):
Certainly not. The first year we took it to the
limit and I was in Miami with my new beach house.
Well it was a couple of minutes from the beach.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
It's been twenty years since then. We haven't been too
strong in the last few years.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
Oh, we've been strong. We're just playing by the rules.
You can't have a newcomer come in and steal a show.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Thanks a man honestly sounded like a cigarettes Yeah, Yeah,
sounds like a.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, white paper surgery. Just have a cart in Hurst.
These as funny as hell, though I loved it. Well,
you can't have someone new rules still the show.
Speaker 8 (23:15):
All right, Well, clearly this draft is not very interesting.
There aren't very many interesting storyline.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yes, so you're saying that's why they don't have any
Top thirty visits. They don't want to see her at
the facility.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
I see.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
One of the PFF guys was saying on one of
their podcasts, he would take arch Manning right now as
the as he'd rather take him right now, and he's
only played about hundred snaps and had a couple of starts.
He would take him right now over any quarterback in
this draft, which it sheds a little bit of light
on the fact that the quarterbacks typically drive the interest
(23:51):
in drafts.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
It's just the reality of it.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
And this year is not viewed, as you know, as
deep of a draft class at the quarterback position. Next
year will be an entirely different story. Next year will
be a draft class that is gonna be set up
with again probably four guys taking the first round, maybe
five more similar to last year.
Speaker 5 (24:11):

Speaker 5 (26:28):
It's back.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
RFK Stadium is back.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Reportedly, the commanders are close with the District of Columbia
on a three billion dollars deal to build a new
stadium at the site of RFK Stadium.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
It is back.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I've been trying to tell you guys for years now.
I've been saying, yeah, Kanks whatever, your FedEx field, whatever,
that garbage. Enough enough, Brady, Brady, you guys got issues.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Man, Can you finish your point about Are they going
to name it r f K?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
I don't know, probably not, But what's the point of
you bringing up r f K. I just want to
let you know that the old site, okay, where the
stadium was, come on cuz where they they had the
old stadium is there. Man, Your your commandos are back.
See you showed up there this past.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
Year, try to have a serious conversation, and they use
commandos in there, So you're making.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Fund the fact that you're you're using us.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
I didn't even realize we always use commandos.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I didn't even get it.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
But serious or not.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
While they were owned by Snyder, they could have been commandos.
But now that that they've changed in Harris and and they're.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
They're saying, you're saying, is that what you're saying.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
I'm saying, yes, less hard there, less hard e r it.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
No A no A.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
That's hard e r it.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Now you can't say that. You can't tell us the
hard e R.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yes, I want the herd. I want the hard I
will not, I will never.
Speaker 8 (28:19):
I'm just saying I think that you guys should respect
it enough to put on there.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
I bet Jonas when he gets cut off, you know,
he might use.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
I didn't even realize I said commandos. I didn't.
Speaker 8 (28:33):
I didn't just I don't think it's such a I
I think you just got Yeah, he's got he's got, he's.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Got, I got it.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
Yeah, there's a big difference between the A and the
hard e R. But what do you mean and this
scenario in particular, the hard e r is acceptable, is
what I will say.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
My point was, yeah, what was your point? Good things
have happened since you have shown up back at the
stadium this past.
Speaker 8 (29:03):
I don't know why you're trying to make a point
of emphasis because we lost that game. For one, then
the fans are sitting there like you didn't even come
for the Commanders. He came for Pittsburgh because that's where
he's from.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Bah blah.
Speaker 8 (29:18):
I'm like, come on, man. First of all, I did
go back for the team. I wanted to meet the ownership.
We had a great conversation. I wanted to go there
because it was military appreciation. Obviously, people know my work
with military and veterans and first responders, so I wanted
to be there for that as well. I just you know,
(29:38):
it all worked out that the game was against the Seilers,
and I got to see my childhood team and I
got to see the team that I played for when
I was in the pros that I love, by the way,
very much. Loved the community very much, and the fans.
We had an amazing time during my time there, So
I think they are going in the right direction.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Did you go the game.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
I feel like there was something controversial that happened. Was
that when the sewage was coming out of the pipes
or is that when they did Sean Taylor.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
You guys are doing wait, this is this is like
a second set up to come at me doing bits. No,
they still the Redskins when the Seawan Taylor and the
water sewage was coming out, I know they they were
by then. Yes, yes, I did not know that. Very distracting,
(30:30):
very very distracting. I'm serious, didn't.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Didn't something like after that game or during that game
happened that was like similar to that.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
I don't recall anything.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
The sewage leak at the stadium has happened a couple
of times.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
I think that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
I don't recall there being a sewage leak while I
was there that I experienced.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Remember you were people were sitting and they were taking videos.
I saw that video, but I don't think that was
the game I was there. This is a bit. You
guys are bitting me right.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
On you now, I will admit.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
This recorded about this. Huh, that's that's what happened there.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
Saying maybe maybe I kept it in my back pocket,
thinking like, at some point we're going to bring it
up and have fun with it, but I don't. And
something happened around the time you went.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
To that game. Yeah, I don't know. I didn't see that.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
Can you look up the last time whatever the field
to it came out. I don't know what it's called now.
It used to be called, uh FedEx Field. It's not
called FedEx anymore. I was just called it RFK Stadium.
Well that's a different stadium though, it's a different, different,
totally different location.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
Right.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Well, I was ahead of everybody because now they're back.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
Well, if they're going back, I think that's pretty cool
to bring it back to the nation's capital.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Now.
Speaker 8 (31:50):
It would be interesting to find out, are they going
to have a practice area connected to, you know, the
stadium itself. Are you going to actually be able to
live in the district of Columbia if you'd like to
if you're playing for the team.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I mean, I always thought it was like a.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
Really weird deal that you literally have to sit in
an hour's worth of traffic to get to the game
night game Eve hotel because you practice in Northern Virginia
and then you go around the Beltway or you go
through the district of Columbia and in order to get
to Landover to play at FedEx Field. But you're named
(32:35):
after the district, so there's nothing even connected really to
the district. There's nothing there. It's just part of the name.
But you live in Northern Virginia, that's not the district.
And you play in Maryland, that's not the district, even
though it's considered to be the DMV. I get it,
but that's just that's weird to me. So if you
(32:56):
were to centralize it back, like, for instance, where you
when you played at an odre day because I've never been.
Is your practice facility? How close is where you guys
practice every day and where you you do your meetings
and all those things. How close is that to the
stadium that y'all play on Saturday.
Speaker 7 (33:19):
Uh, it's like three hundred yards.
Speaker 8 (33:23):
So you get to look at your stadium while you're
you know, while you're practicing, you're breathing the same air
that you're going to breathe when you play in that
game on Saturday. It's like right there, you could walk
to your stadium, right, That's how it should be. That
to me, that's how it should be we never had
(33:44):
a home We've never had a home field advantage people
as a home field We've never had a home field advantage.
Maryland weather isn't the same as Virginia weather. At times,
you could have rain over here, it could be warmer
over there, it could be vice versa. It's not the same.
And you don't get that feeling of you're at home
because it's a whole forty five fifty minutes away from
(34:09):
where you live and where you practice. Imagine you got
to do that. You play a Thursday night game, a
Monday night game, a late game, and you get done,
you still got to drive like forty five fifty minutes
to get home. It's not a home field advantage. So anyway,
if they were able to create a more centralized operation,
(34:30):
you know where there's an experience for the fans, you know, restaurants,
stuff like that, it's in the district. Like, I think
the way the Nationals have it set up is pretty fly.
I think it's pretty fly.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
All I was this week being at Peco Park in
San Diego, which is a great park. Baseball stadiums and
the design and the surroundings are so much better than
NFL stadium it's not even close.
Speaker 8 (34:58):
I think it's I think they could take a lesson
from that and do it. If they do it, do
it the right way. Walking traffic they like. If I
had the opportunity, I would have loved to have been
a part of walking traffic, wrap my bike to work,
walk walk the work, walk, walk home, have an opportunity
to do other things that I can experience within the area,
(35:21):
within the district. It's like you got to make it
a point to try to travel around to do different
things because you're nowhere near where you play. There's not
or not at all. There's nothing at all in DC.
So if they were to bring it back to RFK,
I think it connects with the city on a different
the different cities on a much different level.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
I think.
Speaker 8 (35:44):
I think it would have a tremendously positive reception. I
think it would be an amazing opportunity for the players
that would play there. It would be certainly such a
change in the environment. If they were able to create
a more centralized approach to how they practice and how
(36:05):
they do it on game day with that team.
Speaker 2 (36:07):

(37:27):
you guys have talked about this, We've talked about on
our show, just the fanatical approach to college football as
opposed to the NFL and Lee. Apparently somebody has really
taken it to the limit when it comes to their
fandom for their team.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
Is that correct?
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 4 (37:43):
Wild story out of East Tennessee that stretches all the
way out to South Africa. In fact, there's a past
year named Josh Sullivan who's been living in South Africa
with his wife and children since twenty eighteen. Well, apparently
last week he was taken at gunpoint and kidnapped one
of his sermons. He was rescued late Tuesday night and
(38:05):
a shootout that ended up killing three of his captors.
Wild wild story, But he's he's safe now. But reportedly
one of the first things he learned about after being
rescued was this whole drama with Nico, and he's actually
reportedly more upset about this whole story than his whole
ordeal out there in South Africa.
Speaker 5 (38:24):
Let it go, Nico, how do you know this? How
do you know this?
Speaker 4 (38:27):
This is this is reported. This was relayed to his
fellow pastor who's still out here in Tennessee. His name
is Tom Hatley and he's been in close connection with
his fellow pastor, Josh Sullivan. Yeah, rescued. He was asked
to talk about more lighted, heart hit things. He didn't
want to talk too much about the ordeal he was
going through. So they told him, hey, you've heard about Nico, right,
(38:48):
and he's livid about the whole situation.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
I mean Tennessee fans, you know they didn't. It didn't
take him long.
Speaker 8 (38:55):
To a Tennessee fans, boy, are very They are very
passionate about defending themselves.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
And to love them.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
I love them so much. They make they make college
football great.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Man.
Speaker 7 (39:06):
I'm telling you, you got to have passionate fans like that.
The pastors definitely taken to another limit, but you've got
to have that in sports, man.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
That's part of why they're called fans. They're fanatics.
Speaker 7 (39:17):
That they they live and and you know, breathe this
stuff and live and die by it.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
So I love it. I love every every part of it.
Speaker 7 (39:25):
So even though they look Nico has probably gotten more
flag than he's needed to, right, But that's what comes
with sports man, especially now you're like pants of the
kids too, and it feels a little bit more Okay.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
This is this feels like a healthy fandom though. You know,
this is getting somebody past a traumatizing moment and now
he just focuses on the football, gets his mind away
from it.
Speaker 7 (39:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
It's not like that, uh you know Harvey Updike who
poisoned that tree, Harvey Updyke. Yeah, but they had to
get rid of it too. Yeah, he killed that thing.
Had they had to just dig it on out because
somebody put a Cam Newton jersey on Bear Bryan's statue.
They had to get even the guy killed the tree,
(40:09):
he wouldn't. You gotta get even man like really because
somebody put a Cam Newton jersey on Bear Bryan's statue.
So he just living thing has to go now out
of there.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
I accidentally salted one of my uh my patches of
uh garden the other day what do you mean, Well, isn't.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
That what happened? Like he salted the earth and then.
Speaker 7 (40:34):
No, no, bro, salt, He like he put.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Like like strick nine or something.
Speaker 8 (40:43):
He put some crazy type chemicals on that ground.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Bro, Yeah, like.
Speaker 8 (40:49):
Crazy chemicals on on the ground that that that tree.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
What lead like salt out of like a salt shaker
on a like a kitchen table.
Speaker 4 (40:58):
Yeah, I remember that salt I gifted you guys, uh, seasoning,
and it's basically a bunch of salt, and I I
the top came off, so I put it all into
a bin and then I realized I kind of had
to get rid of that, so I like watered it
down and I threw it into the garden. I realized
that was probably the bad idea to do that, so
I basically salted the garden.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Did you kill the plants?
Speaker 5 (41:14):
I don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
This just happened.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
What plants were they?
Speaker 5 (41:18):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (41:18):
They's succulents, so it'd probably be all right. Could they
have been a name that different? Different?
Speaker 8 (41:32):
I could have been a different plant, say cactus or something.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
They were cactus.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Their circular that's what a succulent is, a tractus. Yeah,
you think those you think those plants couldn't add a
little salt. How many times have you blown chunks of
those plants? Coming home late?
Speaker 8 (41:47):
Say cactus bro, don't don't say succulent. Please steal us
all a favor.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
A succulent ah
Speaker 5 (42:02):
Allie le allily
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It is a Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio. LaVar,
Ben Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you filling in for
Dan and the guys here on this Thursday morning, Brady
(00:26):
LeVar found his AMMO. He was a little slow so
far we've seen have we seen like nine millimeters shotguns?
No blow dart yet he's currently pulling out. He's like,
(00:47):
job moran, Now he just detonated a bomb. There's all
sorts of stuff that does make me, what by have
a rooting interest. I would like to see Memphis get
into the postseason because hopefully John Morant is one hundred
percent ready to go. Because man, when the playoffs hit,
(01:09):
who knows what he's gonna pull out. I mean, he
might go he might go well wow wow, like he
might go musket, he might go none shucks. Like you
never know what Jamran is is working with. It's going
to have some violence connected to it though. That's that's
There's going to be a casualty at the end of
one of his celebrations. Sure will. Yeah. By the way,
(01:32):
we were doing this show here live from the ti
Raq dot Com studios ti rack dot com will help
you get there, an unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road has a protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Tiraq dot com the way tire buying should be. NFL
Draft is coming up soon. Can't get here fast enough.
With all the make belief stories that are out there.
(01:53):
One guy who was, Yeah, just some of this stuff
just sounds like garbage. Joe Shane, though, the general manager
for the New York Giants, who seems to be having
a much better offseason this year as opposed to last
year when it was played out on hard knocks. But
Joe Shane spoke with the media yesterday and not only
talked about the quarterback position as they sit at number three,
(02:16):
but also apparently they're getting some interest from other teams
as well too when it comes to their pick.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
With the signing of those two players, I think we
put our position ourselves in a position where you know,
I don't think that's mandatory or something that we're our
feet of the fire and we have to do. You know,
I think the two guys we signed have played a
lot of ball, They've got a lot of skins on
the wall, and I do think we've upgraded that room,
you know, compared to where it was a year ago.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I like the two guys that we have.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
And you know, Tommy's still in there and he's won
games for us too, and we're happy with the makeup
of the room right now.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
We'll be open to all options.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I mean those as strategy sessions have been ongoing and
you know, talking through different scenarios. So yeah, well we're
always going to be open to, you know, either or
of those scenarios.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
A lot of interests around teams looking to train up.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
We received some calls.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
We receive calls, all right. Abdul Carter call.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Abdul Carter is a three to one favorite to be
selected number three overall to the Giants.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
So well, that doesn't mean he'll be selected by the Giants.
It just means he's going to go number three overall.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (03:19):
I think what you said while Jonas was off that
he can't respond to because he wasn't here to hear
what you said, certainly, uh, certainly is more relevant and
in today's conversation than it was yesterday.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Boy.
Speaker 8 (03:37):
Professional co signing is always the best, especially when you
have supporters, you know, the league. Then you get Q
doing what he's doing with your You're just.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
Laughing at it because I didn't think he was going
to go there. And if we really want to be honest,
get out of the central Cubs really struggled h only
one of two versus the podere.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
You know what, let me tell you something shown you
worry about staying out away of those dolphin statues that
you walk by that you see.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
All right, buddy, I'm married exactly.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
Yeah, yeah, avoid avoid them breathing holes them blow the
hole anyway. So the point I'm making here you asked
the question on the show, Q, does this mean they're
trying to drive up the value of Shador Sanders to
entice a team to want want him at three where
(04:40):
they can trade down because they could still possibly get
the player that they would want without using that three pick.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I think, if I sit it correct.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
I actually don't think I said any of them.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Okay, well trade back at least right trade now.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
My thing was is there might be someone interested in
Abdul Carter because they don't have a need for Abdull Carter.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
They've got On Thibeau, they've got Brian Burrce.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
So we want to trade back because we feel like
we could still get a quarterback or get someone else
and an exchange get more draft.
Speaker 8 (05:10):
Cap the Giants, that being the Giants in this situation, right, Okay,
So I think that's more relevant now after hearing that
explanation from the GM than it ever has been. Honestly,
if I'm if I'm I'm being realistic, I'm calling Cap
on some of this stuff that's coming Shador Sanders way,
(05:31):
I'm calling Cap on that. I think people know his
talent level. I think they know what he brings to
the table, but in order to keep people off balance
on what it is that you would really like to do,
I think things like this happen sometimes, and it just
happens to be a little bit more coverage towards Shador
Sanders than what it would be maybe possibly for other
(05:54):
prospects in years past. But as it applies to the
New York Giants looking at that number three picky, if
they had no other recourse, nobody wants to offer them
what they want. They can't miss on this pick. They
really can't miss on this pick. And I think it's
just based upon the conversation that we had with Prisco,
(06:17):
is that they're facing losing their jobs, whether it's the GM,
whether it's the head coach, and whether they're able to
save themselves or not, it still seems to be a
pick that may give them some type of ammunition to
be able to make maybe a legitimate argument that they
(06:40):
should be able to retain their jobs and continue to
build this team out. I don't know how realistic that is,
but in listening to this, it might be way better
for the New York Giants to trade out of that
number three pick and hope that they can get more
draft capital and still be able to get a player
(07:02):
that they would really want with one of the high
draft picks that they would swap out with with the
team that would take that number three overall.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Because if you got if we were looking at the
top prospects and everyone says, well, it's Travis Hunter and
Abdul Carter and you can swap either one of those,
there's going to be a team who's going to look
at the Giants if if the point is listen, they
don't need abdul Carter, they've already got that position addressed.
That's going to be willing to give up a significant
amount for one of the top overall prospects in the draft.
(07:33):
So if you're Joe Shane, the Giants like, why would
you like, why would you take a quarterback? Why would
you go If it's too high to take an Ashton
gent team, maybe you could drop back and and and.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
But is it is it too high? I mean, didn't
they take say Quon at number two? Yeah, but it
was it was that hit. Clearly they weren't fans of his.
Clearly they made a tremendous mistake, is what they did
that the draft pick.
Speaker 7 (07:59):
Was doing different general manager right, that was David Gettleman.
And then you had Joe Shander came in and you
know he didn't prioritize paying that position the same way
the Eagles did.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I guess, well, that didn't look good. Doesn't look good.
But it was a hit. The pick was a hit.
So I don't think. I don't feel Ashton Genty should
be talked about more.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
I just I've said it. I feel it. You know,
I've talked about him the entire I've been talking about
Ashton Genty for at least.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Two or three years now, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
I've been really committed to talking about how really talented
this dude, is I've said to people, we haven't seen
him back like this since you know, Barry Sanders and
Eric Dickerson and the Pony Express and you know what,
and now people want to get on the bandwagon with
Ashton Genty.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
He's not being discussed.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
You say it enough, people will think it's true. Right, Yeah,
I mean that's what. That's the point.
Speaker 8 (08:59):
And now what I said, you could shoot it out
there like you really meant it. Oh yeah, I'm shooting
this like I really mean it. I mean, I didn't
hear this from one Braden Quinn. I just I just
figured that this is people are starting to catch on
to Ashton Genty and I'm here to tell you seriously though,
that isn't mine. I am a fan after seeing him play,
and I do think that it would be interesting to
(09:21):
see him go, you know, in top five picks top six,
which is very realistic. I don't think he gets past
Las Vegas. I don't. Now the question becomes who would
want to make that trade with New York? Who do
we think are the teams that have shown interest that
(09:44):
would possibly want If it's Abdul Carter or if it's
Travis Hunter, that happened to fall to number three. Who
would those do we have beton nods on who those
teams would be? No, but I've got you know, I've
got one that can make some sense. Who go on,
what do you got John's the Bears?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Oh god, it does make sense now, because here's why?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Is that? Because hold on?
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Is that because the new head coach made you know,
not like DeAndre Swift quite as much?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, I mean I think, yeah, he doesn't appear to
be a huge fan. But if it's a deep running
back draft class and you think you could get a
running back that could be quality at the next level
later on, maybe the Bears called the Giants. I'm talking
from the standpoint of Abdul Carter. Maybe they call up
and say, you can take the tenth pick, and we've
(10:36):
got the thirty ninth and the forty first pick as
well too. I mean, those are three picks in the
top forty plus. Why not if you're that interested or
you believe that you need help. From a pass rushing standpoint,
they haven't gotten great production from Montes Sweat, especially last year,
and they gave him a whole bunch of money. You know,
(10:57):
maybe they could hit up the Giants and be like,
are you would you be willing to drop back to
ten or is that too far to fall out to
still get a quality player? That's what is it?
Speaker 8 (11:06):
What does it look like if you're in the top
ten to trade a pick like say, for instance, the
news surfacing on vverybel wanting TJ. Watt in New England,
that means you want to edge rusher. And if you're
trying to get a TJ. Watt at the type of
dollar that you were trying to you're going to have
(11:28):
to pay to get them. Would it make sense to
try to swap out with swap out with New York
at that at that four pick and get somebody else
That way, you'd only drop one pick back and and
then you get you know, you get the differences.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
The difference is about four hundred points, which would essentially
be a second round pick.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
If you're looking at the traffic value chart.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
So that's typically what you would look at and say,
it's about fair compensation to be able to move up
or move back one pick.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
That's what you're looking for.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
So what that makes sense or not makes sense? If
you're New England, does that make sense to ensure that like, say,
for instance, there's another team that's like in I guess
range that wants to try to slip into that third space.
If Travis Hunter, or more specifically, in this particular moment,
(12:23):
based upon New England showing interest in TJ Watt, would
you try to get that number three pick so that
somebody doesn't swipe it from you if it were to
fall through with TJ Watt in trying to get this
trade done. Possibly, I mean, it just seems like it
would make sense. If I want a defense and the
edge rusher of the caliber or TJ Watt, and there's
(12:44):
somebody that could possibly trade up and take abdual Carter
before we get them, maybe it's like, okay, let's swap
this pick so we can make sure we.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Get Abdul Carter at three? Does that make sense?
Speaker 5 (12:55):
When's yes? When was the last time you heard anything
about vrabel?
Speaker 6 (12:59):
And?
Speaker 8 (13:00):
I think I read that yesterday? I'm if I'm not mistaken.
Do is that fake news? I believe I read that
though that there was interest.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
I remember seeing a while back. I don't remember seeing
it recently. I read it yesterday. Actually, that's that's why
I even brought it up just now because I was.
I saw a headline where it was like Vrabel is
interested the New England Patriots are interested in possibly because
I guess it doesn't seem like the negotiations are going
well in Pittsburgh, doesn't. I mean, from what I read,
(13:32):
it doesn't sound like it's maybe going to get done.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
This draft really needs something to happen. We need an advantage.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Well, what does it need?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I don't look, I don't condone this, I've never personally
done it. But if we could get somebody, like a
top pick to smoke weed a get out of a
gas mask, I think it would help everybody in their house.
It make it that much more interesting. There's not enough trades,
there's not enough trade scenarios, there's not enough positive feedback
on quarterbacks. So and so is moving uh soaring up
(14:06):
the draft charts. Everything's just negative doom and gloom. If
we could really put a smile on everybody's face and
just get somebody to you know, hit the hippie lettice
out of a gas mask on video, and that's anymore.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Listen. It worked out well for him. He's made one
hundred million dollars plus in his career. I don't even
think he has an agent, Laromie Tonsel. I think he's
represented himself for what is worth.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
I mean we went his weed guy helping him out.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
We had one of the most.
Speaker 8 (14:35):
Sadly, insanely bad happenings take place based upon the draft
this year. I mean bad, super bad. I mean, that's polarizing,
sad as hell that it happened. But I mean we
did have something crazy that that is being talked about.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Yeah, I know, I was.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I was kind of hoping we could, uh, you know.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
Not as deep as that, because that's super deep real,
that's like all the ways submerged. Yeah, okay, I'm just saying,
don't don't you gonna pick and choose where we're supposed
to stop on the spectrum.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I mean, there's just not a lot of I'm telling you, man,
I've mentioned this before. Brady made the best point a
couple of weeks ago when we talked about it on
our show. This draft really has no buzz outside of
and that's that's the thing is.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
It's one of the reasons why that Shador Sanders is
getting so much buzz. I mean, he's a bit of
a polarizing figure. But there's also the element of there's
nothing really else around it. And outside of these three,
I would say four prospects outside of Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter,
Will Campbell, and Ashton Genty, if you're looking at like
(15:42):
top overall prospects, there's a bit of a drop off.
And even with Will Campbell, people have you know, questioned
his arm length? I mean, outside of maybe Booker, for
a lot of the tackles, the ear least guys who
played tackle in college in this draft class, a lot
of these guys might get moved inside.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
The guard because of arm length. I'm not sure why
that is.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
I'm not sure if guys just popping out being three
hundred plus pounds with short arms now, but something's happening.
But anyway, the general point is there's just not as
much buzz around it, surrounding it. I actually think the
most fascinating thing to me, And I don't know why
I didn't know this, and I'm a little disappointed in
you two for not knowing this. Do you guys know
(16:21):
that the LA rams never invite any of the top
thirty prospects in for a visit.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
I don't know how you would be disappointed in me
for not knowing that, and I don't.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Because you guys are out in LA and you guys
are a little bit of like the like, Hey, what's up, man,
Let's go to Nobu over there in Melbu do our
whole like trendy thing here in the West coast.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
What's up? Bro?
Speaker 7 (16:44):
But I learned this because the new general manager, James
Gladstone with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who's you know him and
you know the rest of the scouting staff. They've implemented
the same exact strategies that the Rams would use. And
the reason why they don't invite in prospects at least
the top thirties because they don't want to tip their
(17:06):
hand to any of their team what they're going to
do in the first round. Now, they still are able
to meet with the teams or may excuse me, the
prospects via zoom. But that's all confidential, right. There's no
one really is saying like who the Jacksonville Jaguars are
zooming with. And when you do those visits, when you
bring players in, your medical staff is going to take
(17:26):
another look at them after the combine, for example. But
the combine is a pretty thorough physical evaluation, so you
don't really need much more unless there might be a
medical checkup, which again the NFL is going to handle
with the follow up checkup from the combine for those
guys who are still injured. So they basically you go
in on these visits, you meet some of the coaches,
you sit down and talk more. They test you on something,
(17:48):
you meet maybe some of the players other people who
are out there, but that's really it. They can't work
you out. So the strategy that they're implementing in Jacksonville,
the same that they have with the Rams, is something
that kind of fasts. It's me about this draft that
I don't recall ever hearing about in regards to the Rams,
Like I was not aware of that, and look, maybe
it doesn't matter. I would feel like from the prospect perspective,
(18:12):
not that you get a choice and who drafts you,
but I would want to go see like the facility,
I'd want to go meet some of the players. I'd
want to go get a vibe for the locker room
and the organization and getting a sense of all that. Right, Like,
it's kind of weird that from the Jaguars perspective, it
might be good for them at least in regards to
how they see the first round maybe the top end
of the second.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
But for the prospects, it doesn't help.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
You know.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
I mean you're literally getting drafted, had shipped off to
a place you've maybe never been to before. It's kind
of crazy when you think about it.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Maybe they think, if these guys see this place, they
won't want to be here, so let's just keep it quiet,
you know, like if they don't know how messy the
situation is. And I think the RAMS isn't the RAMS
stuff nice? Now?
Speaker 5 (18:53):
I mean, I guess.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
The Rams get most of their attention because they were
doing that thing that member Cliff Kingsbury had that real
nice house. Yeah, the Rams, I guess rent like some
beach house to where they do is their Manhattan beach
or whatever? I think. I think it was in Malibu,
and I'm almost positive there was like a COVID outbreak
one year and so they couldn't even like really partake
(19:17):
in it. It was her Mosa Beachley at whatever Malibu,
hermos so there's water nearby.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
I thought it was more of a South Bay, you know,
like down were like lighter and Robstone and those boys
are at South Bay Bros. I thought it was more
of that area only because they had like a public
area too, where there's like the.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Fans were involved and they could bring through some Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Which again, you you could do that in Jacksonville, like
you could remember that lady you know.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Oh they interviewed.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Oh yeah, we we have that that lady.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Uh, she should have this.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
iHeart Jacks fan. H Yeah, we're we're exorting. We're going
to take it to the limit.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Yeah, talked about her beach house that well it's not
quite a beach house. It's well walk for the beach.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
But yeah, she she's a big, diehard Jags fan. We're
efforting that. That sound by Uh So, let's see how
we're working behind the scenes here, a little vamped, little vamp,
little vamp Lee's working. Don't have it, dance Jonas. We
got nothing being I'm being shook off. We've got nothing.
(20:26):
I was calling for fast behind this and Lisha just
just give me thirty seconds. I'll send it to him.
They can turn this out. Well listen, all I know
is this is somebody's got to do something to spice
up this draft, all right, And and I don't know
what it's going to take. I don't know if it's
gonna be uh some sort of drama, some sort of
you know, maybe a CD LAMB moment where you know,
(20:47):
the girl he's sitting with tries to grab his phone
and he rips it out of her hand because he
looks check your text message says maybe maybe that wouldn't
be a great thing to have happened here on national television.
But we just need something here because there's just not
a whole lot of interesting storylines heading into this. So
Jacksonville not holding top thirty visits. I mean some would
(21:08):
argue they're not a top thirty team.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
So I'm just saying, isn't it interesting, Like wouldn't you
wouldn't you want to look at you know, some of
those prospects like have them come into your facility, seale,
they interact with players, maybe take them out to a meal,
See how that, see how that goes. That's the process,
Like a zoom interview is drastically different than what it's
going to be like when you actually have to have
(21:30):
them in your facility.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Oh yeah, listen to anybody who's been ahead a dating app
knows that, like, you know what what they what they
present the filters and everything, Oh, what they present to
you and your best single long enough to have used
dating apps?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Yeah, said there was a case. It's a Jonas.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
There was a time really yeah, you know, and yeah,
yeah are you sure about that? Positive? I go as, okay, yeah, positive,
leave you where you're at, you know, positive, there was
a time, but that you know, it's a long time ago.
But yeah, you know. Somebody says, uh, oh, I saw
a thumb go up? All right, Lee, what's the thumb
(22:09):
up mean? What does that mean?
Speaker 5 (22:10):
On radio?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
We got her? All right. We got to say, we're
going this is a Jags fan? Who last brush your
teeth or last brush you tooth? In nineteen eighty eight?
Who diehearts Jags fan? Let's let's take a listen.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Furst picks. They say they have the best draft in
the entire NFL. Are you surprised to hear that?
Speaker 6 (22:28):
Certainly not. The first year we took it to the
limit and I was in Miami with my new beach house.
Well it was a couple of minutes from the beach.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
It's been twenty years since then. We haven't been too
strong in the last few years.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
Oh, we've been strong. We're just playing by the rules.
You can't have a newcomer come in and steal a show.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Thanks a man honestly sounded like a cigarettes Yeah, Yeah,
sounds like a.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, white paper surgery. Just have a cart in Hurst.
These as funny as hell, though I loved it. Well,
you can't have someone new rules still the show.
Speaker 8 (23:15):
All right, Well, clearly this draft is not very interesting.
There aren't very many interesting storyline.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yes, so you're saying that's why they don't have any
Top thirty visits. They don't want to see her at
the facility.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
I see.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
One of the PFF guys was saying on one of
their podcasts, he would take arch Manning right now as
the as he'd rather take him right now, and he's
only played about hundred snaps and had a couple of starts.
He would take him right now over any quarterback in
this draft, which it sheds a little bit of light
on the fact that the quarterbacks typically drive the interest
(23:51):
in drafts.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
It's just the reality of it.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
And this year is not viewed, as you know, as
deep of a draft class at the quarterback position. Next
year will be an entirely different story. Next year will
be a draft class that is gonna be set up
with again probably four guys taking the first round, maybe
five more similar to last year.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
And then it was this year.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Well, listen, we can only hope, we can only hope
we get something spicy. But until then, at least we
got our Jackson. What would that be? Though? I don't know, Man, listen,
night through it. Look, we've already had somebody do it,
you know, gas mask whatever you want. That was Like,
by the way, wasn't that gas mask before vapes? I
think it was really ahead of his time if you
(24:34):
think about it. Hey, all right, it is the Dan

thank you, congratulations.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
It's back.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
RFK Stadium is back.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Reportedly, the commanders are close with the District of Columbia
on a three billion dollars deal to build a new
stadium at the site of RFK Stadium.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
It is back.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I've been trying to tell you guys for years now.
I've been saying, yeah, Kanks whatever, your FedEx field, whatever,
that garbage. Enough enough, Brady, Brady, you guys got issues.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Man, Can you finish your point about Are they going
to name it r f K?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
I don't know, probably not, But what's the point of
you bringing up r f K. I just want to
let you know that the old site, okay, where the
stadium was, come on cuz where they they had the
old stadium is there. Man, Your your commandos are back.
See you showed up there this past.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
Year, try to have a serious conversation, and they use
commandos in there, So you're making.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Fund the fact that you're you're using us.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
I didn't even realize we always use commandos.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I didn't even get it.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
But serious or not.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
While they were owned by Snyder, they could have been commandos.
But now that that they've changed in Harris and and they're.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
They're saying, you're saying, is that what you're saying.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
I'm saying, yes, less hard there, less hard e r it.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
No A no A.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
That's hard e r it.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Now you can't say that. You can't tell us the
hard e R.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yes, I want the herd. I want the hard I
will not, I will never.
Speaker 8 (28:19):
I'm just saying I think that you guys should respect
it enough to put on there.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
I bet Jonas when he gets cut off, you know,
he might use.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
I didn't even realize I said commandos. I didn't.
Speaker 8 (28:33):
I didn't just I don't think it's such a I
I think you just got Yeah, he's got he's got, he's.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Got, I got it.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
Yeah, there's a big difference between the A and the
hard e R. But what do you mean and this
scenario in particular, the hard e r is acceptable, is
what I will say.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
My point was, yeah, what was your point? Good things
have happened since you have shown up back at the
stadium this past.
Speaker 8 (29:03):
I don't know why you're trying to make a point
of emphasis because we lost that game. For one, then
the fans are sitting there like you didn't even come
for the Commanders. He came for Pittsburgh because that's where
he's from.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Bah blah.
Speaker 8 (29:18):
I'm like, come on, man. First of all, I did
go back for the team. I wanted to meet the ownership.
We had a great conversation. I wanted to go there
because it was military appreciation. Obviously, people know my work
with military and veterans and first responders, so I wanted
to be there for that as well. I just you know,
(29:38):
it all worked out that the game was against the Seilers,
and I got to see my childhood team and I
got to see the team that I played for when
I was in the pros that I love, by the way,
very much. Loved the community very much, and the fans.
We had an amazing time during my time there, So
I think they are going in the right direction.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Did you go the game.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
I feel like there was something controversial that happened. Was
that when the sewage was coming out of the pipes
or is that when they did Sean Taylor.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
You guys are doing wait, this is this is like
a second set up to come at me doing bits. No,
they still the Redskins when the Seawan Taylor and the
water sewage was coming out, I know they they were
by then. Yes, yes, I did not know that. Very distracting,
(30:30):
very very distracting. I'm serious, didn't.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Didn't something like after that game or during that game
happened that was like similar to that.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
I don't recall anything.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
The sewage leak at the stadium has happened a couple
of times.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
I think that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
I don't recall there being a sewage leak while I
was there that I experienced.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Remember you were people were sitting and they were taking videos.
I saw that video, but I don't think that was
the game I was there. This is a bit. You
guys are bitting me right.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
On you now, I will admit.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
This recorded about this. Huh, that's that's what happened there.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
Saying maybe maybe I kept it in my back pocket,
thinking like, at some point we're going to bring it
up and have fun with it, but I don't. And
something happened around the time you went.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
To that game. Yeah, I don't know. I didn't see that.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
Can you look up the last time whatever the field
to it came out. I don't know what it's called now.
It used to be called, uh FedEx Field. It's not
called FedEx anymore. I was just called it RFK Stadium.
Well that's a different stadium though, it's a different, different,
totally different location.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
Right.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Well, I was ahead of everybody because now they're back.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
Well, if they're going back, I think that's pretty cool
to bring it back to the nation's capital.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Now.
Speaker 8 (31:50):
It would be interesting to find out, are they going
to have a practice area connected to, you know, the
stadium itself. Are you going to actually be able to
live in the district of Columbia if you'd like to
if you're playing for the team.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I mean, I always thought it was like a.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
Really weird deal that you literally have to sit in
an hour's worth of traffic to get to the game
night game Eve hotel because you practice in Northern Virginia
and then you go around the Beltway or you go
through the district of Columbia and in order to get
to Landover to play at FedEx Field. But you're named
(32:35):
after the district, so there's nothing even connected really to
the district. There's nothing there. It's just part of the name.
But you live in Northern Virginia, that's not the district.
And you play in Maryland, that's not the district, even
though it's considered to be the DMV. I get it,
but that's just that's weird to me. So if you
(32:56):
were to centralize it back, like, for instance, where you
when you played at an odre day because I've never been.
Is your practice facility? How close is where you guys
practice every day and where you you do your meetings
and all those things. How close is that to the
stadium that y'all play on Saturday.
Speaker 7 (33:19):
Uh, it's like three hundred yards.
Speaker 8 (33:23):
So you get to look at your stadium while you're
you know, while you're practicing, you're breathing the same air
that you're going to breathe when you play in that
game on Saturday. It's like right there, you could walk
to your stadium, right, That's how it should be. That
to me, that's how it should be we never had
(33:44):
a home We've never had a home field advantage people
as a home field We've never had a home field advantage.
Maryland weather isn't the same as Virginia weather. At times,
you could have rain over here, it could be warmer
over there, it could be vice versa. It's not the same.
And you don't get that feeling of you're at home
because it's a whole forty five fifty minutes away from
(34:09):
where you live and where you practice. Imagine you got
to do that. You play a Thursday night game, a
Monday night game, a late game, and you get done,
you still got to drive like forty five fifty minutes
to get home. It's not a home field advantage. So anyway,
if they were able to create a more centralized operation,
(34:30):
you know where there's an experience for the fans, you know, restaurants,
stuff like that, it's in the district. Like, I think
the way the Nationals have it set up is pretty fly.
I think it's pretty fly.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
All I was this week being at Peco Park in
San Diego, which is a great park. Baseball stadiums and
the design and the surroundings are so much better than
NFL stadium it's not even close.
Speaker 8 (34:58):
I think it's I think they could take a lesson
from that and do it. If they do it, do
it the right way. Walking traffic they like. If I
had the opportunity, I would have loved to have been
a part of walking traffic, wrap my bike to work,
walk walk the work, walk, walk home, have an opportunity
to do other things that I can experience within the area,
(35:21):
within the district. It's like you got to make it
a point to try to travel around to do different
things because you're nowhere near where you play. There's not
or not at all. There's nothing at all in DC.
So if they were to bring it back to RFK,
I think it connects with the city on a different
the different cities on a much different level.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
I think.
Speaker 8 (35:44):
I think it would have a tremendously positive reception. I
think it would be an amazing opportunity for the players
that would play there. It would be certainly such a
change in the environment. If they were able to create
a more centralized approach to how they practice and how
(36:05):
they do it on game day with that team.
Speaker 2 (36:07):

(37:27):
you guys have talked about this, We've talked about on
our show, just the fanatical approach to college football as
opposed to the NFL and Lee. Apparently somebody has really
taken it to the limit when it comes to their
fandom for their team.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
Is that correct?
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 4 (37:43):
Wild story out of East Tennessee that stretches all the
way out to South Africa. In fact, there's a past
year named Josh Sullivan who's been living in South Africa
with his wife and children since twenty eighteen. Well, apparently
last week he was taken at gunpoint and kidnapped one
of his sermons. He was rescued late Tuesday night and
(38:05):
a shootout that ended up killing three of his captors.
Wild wild story, But he's he's safe now. But reportedly
one of the first things he learned about after being
rescued was this whole drama with Nico, and he's actually
reportedly more upset about this whole story than his whole
ordeal out there in South Africa.
Speaker 5 (38:24):
Let it go, Nico, how do you know this? How
do you know this?
Speaker 4 (38:27):
This is this is reported. This was relayed to his
fellow pastor who's still out here in Tennessee. His name
is Tom Hatley and he's been in close connection with
his fellow pastor, Josh Sullivan. Yeah, rescued. He was asked
to talk about more lighted, heart hit things. He didn't
want to talk too much about the ordeal he was
going through. So they told him, hey, you've heard about Nico, right,
(38:48):
and he's livid about the whole situation.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
I mean Tennessee fans, you know they didn't. It didn't
take him long.
Speaker 8 (38:55):
To a Tennessee fans, boy, are very They are very
passionate about defending themselves.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
And to love them.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
I love them so much. They make they make college
football great.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Man.
Speaker 7 (39:06):
I'm telling you, you got to have passionate fans like that.
The pastors definitely taken to another limit, but you've got
to have that in sports, man.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
That's part of why they're called fans. They're fanatics.
Speaker 7 (39:17):
That they they live and and you know, breathe this
stuff and live and die by it.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
So I love it. I love every every part of it.
Speaker 7 (39:25):
So even though they look Nico has probably gotten more
flag than he's needed to, right, But that's what comes
with sports man, especially now you're like pants of the
kids too, and it feels a little bit more Okay.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
This is this feels like a healthy fandom though. You know,
this is getting somebody past a traumatizing moment and now
he just focuses on the football, gets his mind away
from it.
Speaker 7 (39:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
It's not like that, uh you know Harvey Updike who
poisoned that tree, Harvey Updyke. Yeah, but they had to
get rid of it too. Yeah, he killed that thing.
Had they had to just dig it on out because
somebody put a Cam Newton jersey on Bear Bryan's statue.
They had to get even the guy killed the tree,
(40:09):
he wouldn't. You gotta get even man like really because
somebody put a Cam Newton jersey on Bear Bryan's statue.
So he just living thing has to go now out
of there.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
I accidentally salted one of my uh my patches of
uh garden the other day what do you mean, Well, isn't.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
That what happened? Like he salted the earth and then.
Speaker 7 (40:34):
No, no, bro, salt, He like he put.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Like like strick nine or something.
Speaker 8 (40:43):
He put some crazy type chemicals on that ground.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Bro, Yeah, like.
Speaker 8 (40:49):
Crazy chemicals on on the ground that that that tree.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
What lead like salt out of like a salt shaker
on a like a kitchen table.
Speaker 4 (40:58):
Yeah, I remember that salt I gifted you guys, uh, seasoning,
and it's basically a bunch of salt, and I I
the top came off, so I put it all into
a bin and then I realized I kind of had
to get rid of that, so I like watered it
down and I threw it into the garden. I realized
that was probably the bad idea to do that, so
I basically salted the garden.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Did you kill the plants?
Speaker 5 (41:14):
I don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
This just happened.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
What plants were they?
Speaker 5 (41:18):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (41:18):
They's succulents, so it'd probably be all right. Could they
have been a name that different? Different?
Speaker 8 (41:32):
I could have been a different plant, say cactus or something.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
They were cactus.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Their circular that's what a succulent is, a tractus. Yeah,
you think those you think those plants couldn't add a
little salt. How many times have you blown chunks of
those plants? Coming home late?
Speaker 8 (41:47):
Say cactus bro, don't don't say succulent. Please steal us
all a favor.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
A succulent ah
