Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Welcome, Welcome, everybody too, Good Morning Football. It is Monday,
April twenty eighth.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
We have made it through the draft.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm Colleen Wolf sitting in for Jamie Erdle alongside Matt Tityo.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
And the first time or.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Two the breakfast table, we got Chase Edmonds in the house,
and all the way on the other coast we got
Kyle Brant and New York City went up.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Kyle, I love our room. There's a good room right here.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
We got good energy, we got good experience, we got
good vibes. You know all these teams put together in
their draft boards. I like this draft board. I think
we can win games with this draft, and I think
it starts right now. GMTB Let's rock and.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
Roll, Good Morning Football.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Hello, Hello everybody, and welcome into the show. I cannot
believe that the draft is over because so much.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Went into it, so much.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Preparation, as you just heard last segment, so many mock
drafts as well. As we get into everything here. But
before we get into the lead block, though, I do
want to bring something up to Kyle Brandt which I
found very very funny.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
When we were doing.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Some hits on Friday before the draft, Kyle leans over
and shows me his phone and he goes, hey, like
in a hush tone, you have this thing that comes
up under your text.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It says red after like he's.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Explaining to me about red receipts, as if I don't
know what they are, and as if I don't know
that I have them on.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
And Kyle, I just found that so hilarious. I think
everyone out.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
There should have their red receipts on because you know,
you just let people know when this is like a
very strange take. You let people know that you haven't
gotten to your text yet. And Kyle, did I change
your mind at all?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Yeah? Colleen made a very convincing case. Guys.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I was trying to do something like if someone flies
down and there's something in their teeth, like you try
to tell them as a friend, you're looking out for them.
I'm like Colleen, by the way, people know.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
That you read their texts.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
But then Colleen has this whole take where she wants
people to know the message.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
You twisted this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Colleen, I haven't changed my settings yet, but you did
get me halfway there.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, listen for anyone out there, if you're not, if
you're behind on text messages, this is my thing. Like
text messages pile up. I want people to know that
I haven't gotten to it yet. It's not that I'm
ignoring you.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I just haven't read it yet.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So it's going to be on unread for a second
and then I'll get to it. So I don't know,
maybe just take that.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Into account everyone, We'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
All right, Let's talk a little bit about the draft,
because we talked a lot about.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Schador Sanders in the first hour.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Let's stick with the quarterbacks though here and discuss some
of the others.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
So, Man Tai, let's go with your quarterback.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
The quarterback that I'm really looking forward to is going
to be Shuder's teammate, Dylan Gabriel. Dylan Gabriel is somebody
in college football that said a lot of records. Matter
of fact, he said two FBS records for starts with
sixty three, previously held by bow Knicks, who at sixty one.
So that means that this guy has a lot of experience.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
He's seen a lot of football. He's played football at.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
Oklahoma, at first ball was at Oklahoma and then Oregon.
I think he was somewhere Central Florida or something like
that before that for two years.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
But anyway, he's.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Played a lot of football at the highest level, and
he was a Heisman finalist, So he was with Shadur
Sanders teammate Travis Hunter at the Heisman ceremony. So this
is a guy who in twenty twenty four was also
the Big Ten Conference Offensive Player of the Year. So
You're drafted third round, Shaduur is drafted in the fifth round.
(03:52):
We keep talking about how this is a great opportunity
for Shadur to go out there and.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Prove who he is who he says he is.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
This is also a great opportunity for Dylan Gabriel to
go into this facility and to go into this to
going to this locker room and established why he should
be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns and why
he was picked before Shador Sanders, and so I think
this is set up perfectly for Dylan Gabriel.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
He's had a lot of a lot.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Of experience, like I said before, and he's won a
lot of games, and so he is also has the
second highest QB rating and also second in accuracy, and
so there's so many different similarities between him and Shador.
So I'm really looking forward to seeing how this all
plays out for the Cleveland Browns, especially Dylan Gabriel.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
And was the school.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yeah yeah, thank.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
You, thank you, thank you. More team.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
I'm really looking forward to that competition as well with
Dylan Gabriel and Schador centers. You mentioned it, Kyle, you
mentioned it as well. Being selected in the third round
and then Shador in the fifth round. There's not really
no financial, big financial commitment to either players. So I'm
looking forward to be a really just a competition committee
coming in there a say fellas, best man wins, right,
best man is gonna stick around for me personally, I'm
(05:03):
gonna go with Tyler show to the New Orleans Saints.
And I thought that this pick was very interesting for
a couple of different reasons. Right, you got Tyler Shuck
coming out, and you know he had a big injury,
kind of ridiculed career, three season ending.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Injuries, I believe.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
But one thing that I love for his opportunity he's
walking in.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
He can be a Day one starter. Immediately the news
came out.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
About a month ago, about two weeks ago, Derek Carr
is dealing with a shoulder injury. The Sansia not really sure,
the medical team doesn't really know what's going on with him.
Tyler Shuck mintiw you know it. Those Ota reps are very,
very valuable, bro, and he's going to have that opportunity
to really win over the staff, win over Keller Moore.
It's a big opportunity for him to go in there
and prove that he can be a day one starter.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
And he really won over a lot of people with
that draft shot and the Golden Retriever that was in there,
because we saw leading up to his pick before the
Golden Retriever green room slide, because we saw the Golden
Retriever on our monitors backstage just staring at the.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Wall looking like very upset.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
So, I mean, I think that this was a huge
win for all dog lovers everywhere too.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Kyle, I that was a.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Good, good dog, just a great dog, and I absolutely
love it. So, mister Irrelevant in this drafts cornerback Kobe
Minor from the University of Memphis.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Kobe Minor. I think Kobe Minor, the.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Last person in the taken in the draft got more
attention and hype than cam Ward, the first.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Person taken in the draft.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I want to talk about mister relevant, which is the
number one overall pick.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Guys, this is history.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I've never ever seen less focused, less buzz less anything
on the number one overall pick in the draft. I
remember when the number one overall pick was an offensive
lineman from Central Michigan named Eric Fisher, and he might
as well have been Peyton Mann.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
He compared to cam Ward. Cam Ward is sitting there.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Number one, and it's like he has a two syllable
name and we're halfway through the first syllable and it's
already like, well, let's talk shador Chadu was very interesting
and very compelling. Let's just take one hot second to
be like cam Ward. Incredible journey, zero star recruit, three.
Speaker 8 (07:09):
Different colleges, You're the best player at the draft looking
down on all these Ohio State guys and Georgia guys,
and he went to incarnate word. Cam Ward's coolest thing
is that there is nothing to talk about because he
doesn't give anything to.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Talk about, because he is that solid as a person,
that solid as a player. I'm not familiar with who
cam Ward's father is I don't know much about him.
I don't know anything about he does on social media.
I know he's a hell of a football player and
deserves credit for that. And you know what, Tennessee Titans fans,
if you want a little bit of sizzle and you
want some conversation, you damn well deserve it, because you
(07:44):
better believe if that number one overall pick was to
the New York Giants or the Dallas Cowboys or the
Chicago Bears, there'd be way more cam Ward talk. But
it's the fact that he's going to the Titans, and
maybe the Titans logo doesn't jump off the marquee that
you're not getting it. So, Titans fans, I see you,
I love you, and I give you the gift of
(08:04):
this beautiful image.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Cam Ward wears number.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
One in college, but hold on a second. Number one
for that organization was Warren Moon. He's an all time great.
He's not gonna wear number one, Yes he is. Because
of his media session. Warren Moon showed up himself.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
It's awesome and gives him a handoff.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
He says, you will wear number one for this organization.
I bless you, I respect you, and thank God for
Warren Moon doing this. Otherwise he's the only person on
the face of the earth who seems to have any
interest whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
And again, the number one pick in the.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Draft, who is such a good player and such a
good pick that no one has any debate to this,
There was zero, zero debate about who should go number
one in a draft that includes an all time historic
two way player.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
And so like Travils, Hunt is great. But my god,
that cam Ward is good. He certainly is.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
He's at the right place, he's at a great organization,
he's got his jersey number. And for just one hot
second before I get a Shepherd hook that pulls me
off the air for talking about let's say, cam great job,
we're following you, rooting for you, and even better than that.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
We're actually bleeping talking about you. Cam Ward.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Congratulations, yes, congrats, you know what.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
And we're talking about his dad too, Calvin Ward. By
the way, uh, Kyle.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
And listen, let's go Calvin.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
If Warren Moon tells you to wear number one, if
he tells you anything, you are listening to him.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
You're doing it.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
There is no actual other way to do.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
That's the rules. I mean. Once Warren Moon comes in,
you'll listen.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
But for the longest time leading up to the draft,
it was cam Ward's first to the Titans, and then
it was kind of like a foregone conclusion. But Shador
Sanders was always the second quarterback we talked about.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
So, Kyle, what happened? Why was this so off this year?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Because you talk about Aaron Rodgers and the slide that
he had, and that feels like the biggest drama that
happened in draft history.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
But now it's this at Shador Sanders.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, listen, this is a totally different weight class. Rogers
went to twenty four. You know, he gets picked in
the green room. We can talk about all of these guys. Eventually,
Brady Quinn got picked and came out on the stage.
Gino Smith came back the next day and got picked.
Will Levis got picked the next day. This is a
totally different thing.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Most of the draft projections are always off because no
one can project the draft.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I talked about this earlier.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I have a packet here of sixty seven different mock drafts.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
This is sixty seven of them now not by just people.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I'm talking about media members, and the number one I'll
give him credit Mike Band with the NFL got eleven right,
eleven right out of thirty two picks, and he was
the number one by far. I'm not going to read
the names of on the third page because there are
people I like, and some of them I know.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
These people who are really smart and plugged into.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Football, got two picks right, got three picks right out
of thirty two.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
So it's just it's impossible to predict.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And to follow up your question, Colleen, a lot of
these people who actually did quote unquote, well they had
Shadur in the first round, not the second, not the third.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
In the first round. That's the bell of the ball
in terms of how the projections were off on this.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And I think again, I think again, we made Shaduur
something that the coaches in the GMS did not see
him as being someone who was worth it. Shadur is
going to bring some stuff. There's gonna be extra media,
there's gonna be extra attention. And Shadur's father is a
powerful figure in the media who is not afraid to
speak out if you're not playing his son.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Perhaps, so I'll put up with that. I don't care.
I'll put up with that. If I'm an NFL coach
or GM.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
If the player is great and I can't pass on him,
I'm happy to have that the player is not great.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
In their eyes. Nobody in this draft loved him.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Maybe some people liked him a little bit, but zero
out of thirty two teams loved him. I don't think
the Browns love him. I'm not even sure the Browns
like him. The pick doesn't make any sense. Why would
you take two rookie quarterbacks just a couple rounds apart.
How much could you really like either of them? Then
it's a very strange pick. And I just think we
(12:06):
thought Dion prime time. He turned Colorado around, that's great.
I remember there's a million quarterbacks we've seen who have
done a lot of winning and change programs. The NFL
is not interested in him. Go look up Jason White,
he won the Heisman Trophy. Had no interest at all. Shadoor.
They just didn't like and I don't think they wanted
the things to come with him.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
If he's going to be a backup A what a bomb?
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Right, oh bro?
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Just like in KB fashion. What I would say is
far why are the projection so off? Is because the
projections are what they have at their disposal. As far
as the information is the same thing that we all have.
Is what media is saying, Right, you can come watch
the film, you can study the tape, But what we've
learned in this whole draft process is the tape only
tells one side of the story. What these franchises that
(12:52):
are actually looking into these quarterbacks that's actually looking to
shirdor have. They have things like private workouts, They have
things like private meetings where they get to meet with
this quarterback with not just Shador, with every athlete. They
get to sit them down, talk about their life, put
on some film. Hey, why would you make this decision?
Why would you Why wouldn't you throw in here? What
(13:12):
would you do if you saw this this coverage? What
would you do if you saw this player? And listen
to their response? And they have that information at their disposal,
We don't. These all of these experts that put together
these projections, they have all the information that we.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
As general public do.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
So I think you're so off because there is a
very few, very few teams that actually wanted a quarterback,
that actually needed a quarterback. And to kb's point, nobody
really was in love with a certain player, they kind
of liked them, but then as they start to get
more information about them, as.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
They start to sit in these meetings.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
With them, they may have found some information or may
have seen some things with this that comes with a
certain drop pick that they're like, you know what, this
may not be the type of investment that I want
to make, and based on that information, hence the fall.
So that's that's the way I see it.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I hear that, Colleen.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
I'm going to say a word that you don't like
the intangibles.
Speaker 9 (14:06):
Oh my god, the intangibles though, Man, I'm gonna say
intangibles because you made a good point that the media
doesn't have access to certain things with these draft these
my drafts, as these coaches and these personnel.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
You bring a player in, you have an interview with him,
you really get to sit down understand him. How is
he on the board, how is he as a man,
how is he going to fit into our culture? All
these things go into account when you talk about selecting
an individual like I remember, for me personally, I was
almost known as like one of the smartest running backs
coming out of my draft class. Okay, I want to
(14:42):
Fordham now. But so and that That really boosted my
draft stock inside the NFL circles, and hey, we know
this guy can be an immediate third down back because
he understands the.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Protection so well.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
So just to really pivot off at that point, I
think that it comes down to just the intangibles. And
when these UH personnelit these guys actually sit down with
the player, they start to say, ah, I love him
as the player. Do we think he fits our culture?
Do think he fits our locker room? Maybe this guy,
also at a different position can do a little better
job for us.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Well, he ended up going to the Browns.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
It was funny when I was at the airport leaving
Green Bay.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
This was on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Dante Hall was there with me, and Dante Hall was
talking to one of the Browns people who was also leaving,
and he's like, come on, man, what happened. Why didn't
you guys take Shador? What's going on with Shador? And
then lo and behold they end up taking Chador. So
maybe Dante Hall actually spoke it into existence.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Kyle, Well, let's just do a little round up here, Colleen.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
What we've learned this morning is that Mantai had about
thirty seven interceptions college, and Chase is the smartest running.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Back coming out of college.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Colleen, Yeah, I'll give you a second to brag about yourself.
In nineteen ninety six, I was second team.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
All state high school football. So Colleen, what'd you do?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I'm giving Drexel's commencement speech this year.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
So that's cool, that's exciting.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
We look at you. I don't know yet, I got
to write it.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
We'll figure it out. Good luck, God screet out there.
Welcome back to the GMFB. It is time for game ball.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Who sent it by CDW so Man Tai. I don't
know how you narrowed this down to just one game ball,
but you did it.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
So who won the draft?
Speaker 4 (16:23):
We did it.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
We did it for me. You know who won the draft?
The New York Giants. The New York Giants, in my opinion,
won the twenty twenty five NFL Draft, and the reason
being is this. They draft Abdul Carter as their first
first round pick, the first first round pick, because they
did two. Now you add Abdul Carter to this front
four Brian Burns, Caveon Thibodau, Dexter, Lawrence Roy, Robertson, Harris.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
If we learned anything from the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Is this, It doesn't matter who's the quarterback for the
opposing team. If you keep him on his back, you're
going to win the Super Bowl. And in the words
of a really good friend of mine, coach Rich Miano,
he said, the best pass defense is a pass rush.
So that's what they handled with Abdul Carter. They trade
back into the first round to pick up the quarterback
that they like, Jackson Dark, who played at All Miss
had a very successful career there as a gunslinger. I
(17:10):
really like Jackson Dark as a quarterback in this league.
They draft another athletic d tackle in Darris Alexander out
of Toledo. We talked about him during the combine. His
performance there. The guy was just moving. He's very athletic,
and he's going to cause a lot of habit.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
In the backfield.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
But the fourth round pick, and okayb this pick, maybe
baby a New York Giants fan.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Camps Scataboo.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
With the New York Giants like, I don't know how,
I don't know a better way to seal the deal
by drafting this guy. So for me, Brian Daveon Joe Shane,
hell of a job. Great job by your scouting department
because I thought that they won not only the draft,
but they want a new fan in Kyle Brant, because
now Kyle Brant is a New York Giants fan.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Clomb pans scattaboo, and Kyle's face just loves up when
you bring up his name. And also with Abdiel Carter
grew up in the Philadelphia area as an e goes
to the Giants and then renounces.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
His fandom and allegiance to the Eagles. I also just
absolutely love that so much.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Chase, how about you mentioned it?
Speaker 7 (18:14):
You mentioned it, You mentioned it, Mantime, Joe Dabill. I'm
glad you guys did well in the draft. They're gonna
need it. I think they are playing for their jobs
this year. And one thing I will say about the
Abduke Carter before I get to my take, is that
it reminds me what the San Francisco forty nine ers
did a couple of years back when.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
They built that D line.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
They went from the second pick in the draft that
was my rookie year, where they drafted Nick Bosa.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
They had a bunch of first round picks up on
that D line.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
They went all the way to the Super Bowl the
following year. For me, though, I'm gonna go roll with
Mike Rain the New England Patriots down over there in
New England Foxborough. I absolutely love what these guys did
in their draft class. You talk about how do we
get better? Immediately you hit on Drake May last year. Well,
you know what, let's go pick some guys that are
gonna help Drake May directly. Will Campbell first round pick,
(18:59):
got the left tackle. To me, in my opinion, there's
only two connections that matter in football, the most of
the quarterback quarterback receiver, and right behind it his quarterback
left tack. Where you get country boy Will to really
protect Drake May.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Help him out, keep him up right.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
The second pick, Trayvon Henderson. I love Treyvon Henderson. He
has so much juice. He's electric. I think honestly his
best fit is going to be sharing the rock with
another running back, so to be able to come off
as a change of pace back with Raman J.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Stevenson.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
I think that's going to be wonders for the New
England Patriots in that offensive unit. And then you got
Kyle Williams coming out of Washington State. If you turn
on the film with Kyle Williams. I'm a big fan
of his. Actually, he does so well with the ball
in his hands, and just talking about Yak where you
don't always got to have that deep play threat. You
don't always got to hit him on the post. He
can take a slant fifty.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yards and go chase. I'm a big fan of yours.
You're really good with the camera on you right now.
I know that's why they loved you with that broadcast
boot camp.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I heard you got like a game ball, you got
like a captain cy and everything. I can see it.
Why do you clean house in that thing?
Speaker 4 (20:00):
It looks like it?
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Man, I'm humble, man, so KB, I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
I thought I did well enough.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
I must be home mery with you guys.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
You know what, when I say did you clean house
at the boot camp and you say I'm humble, that
means yes, I love that you did it.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
I can tell you really did all right. So I'm
going to break the mold a little bit on this.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Rather than naming a player or a team or something
like that, I think the biggest winner today are just
the wonderful and hilarious people who give out draft grades
these things are the best.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I love. Is there anything more clickable than.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
A draft grade? They're so funny, and the people who
make them know that they're funny. But like PFF Pro
Football Focus, totally get it, totally respect it.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
They gave the forty nine ers a D. They're like terrible,
terrible drafts. Guys.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
The Niners drafted eleven players. How could it be that pad?
There's got to be a few good players that Lynch
nailed amongst those eleven. How do you even know? I
saw another guy, Chris Trapasso. I know Chris a little bit.
I love Chris. He gives the Bengals a C.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I mean, what if Shamar Stewart becomes like TJ. Watt
or some we don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
You can go back and there's crazy, freezing cold takes
about teams that had terrible draft grades.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
It was the Seahawks Russell Wilson class.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I saw that PFT comments was talking about it, and
it was like a terrible, terrible, terrible drap and it
was like Russell Wilson. It was all these amazing players
who came in to become super studs.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
I love the draft grades.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I think that people who make them probably hate them.
But they know they're extremely clickable. I used to talk
to Pete Prisco and he'd be like, yeah, I do
power rankings during the season. I don't love it, but
everybody clicks on them. So go ahead and click on
those draft gides. Find your team. Get mad at the
draft grade is bad, Celebrate a super Bowl if it's good.
It's all clicks and all winners, even though nobody knows
(21:49):
squat about what's going to happen with these players.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Well, let's bring up Chad Reuters Reuter's draft grades.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Let's see what he did here.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
The lowest grade on here is a D minus, so
he's a pretty good grader. This is the professor that
I would run in college, Professor Reuter. Yes, I'm gonna
have to text him and see how he actually feels
about giving out these draft grades.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Kyle, all right, Well, Colleen, so Ruyders got the niners
on the far right column.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Right in the middle, he has done with.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
A B plus.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
For pro football focuses, they have a D. I mean,
what's the separation here? What are we even talking about?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Is this one of the funniest things in what we
do draft grades? Like you can talk I guess you
can grade on basically Philly needs, like if you don't
have any defensive tackles and you draft a couple of
them grades, but those defensive tackles you drafted could totally suck.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
No one knows. It's it's so funny to me. I
love you, Chad, great job.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
We love Chad.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Also, no a pluses I noticed on that, so it
goes from A to bnus.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
No Kiper gave out a plus. Though, what's up?
Speaker 7 (22:51):
No Kiper gave out a plus. He did guess to
who who to who? To the brows they drafted his
boyish and doors.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
Yeah, okay, we should have known that.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
How did we not get that? All right?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Well, amazing, I give that segment and a plus.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
We'll be back with more right here on GMTB.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
JO Enough the Buffalo Bills selection, Please welcome Josie out
the door.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
Today's a special day, not just for the Bills, but
for everyone who knows what Buffalo stands for, heart, grit,
and family. I'm proud to be a part of the
Bills ownership in the Bill's family. Thanks to Terry Pegoula
and the Pagola family and the city that never stops
believing in Buffalo.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
We don't just draft players.
Speaker 10 (23:47):
We draft dreams, We draft hope, and we draft fighters.
And today we add another chapter to that story. And
with the one hundred and seventy third pick in the
fifth round of the twenty twenty five NFL Draft, the
Buffalo Bills select Jackson Hall, tight end in Georgia.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Ten let's go.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
That was Bill Honor and US soccer legend Jealousy Altatur
announcing one of the newest members Bills and he joins
us right now.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Great to see your face. This is awesome that you're
joining us on the show.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
And very good job with the announcement, by the way,
so you've done a ton of really cool things in
your life. You were telling us a little bit about
playing it in Toronto before.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
What was it like though, being.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
On the draft stage in Green Bay in front of
everyone in the heart of the NFL world to announce
the pick at the draft.
Speaker 11 (24:40):
I mean, first, thank you guys so much for having me.
A big fan of the show. It's an honor to
be here. So yeah, that was different for me. You know,
they don't there's no prep for something like this. So
you walk out on the stage right and there's one
hundred and so odd people, one hundred thousand so odd people.
It's it's a really unique and incredible environment. And I
loved it. Honestly, I loved it. It felt like, you know,
(25:01):
you're playing days again in a sense. So I had
great time. And it's such a big honor to make
a pick like that for the Bills Nation and all
the Bills fans in attendance, it was so cool.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Josie talking about the draft, you yourself were the seventeenth
overall pick in the twenty in two thousand and six
MLS Super Draft, and as now a partial owner of
the Buffalo Bills, what kind of advice would you have
for rookies that are now transitioning into the pro life,
for the Buffalo Bills and rookies around the NFL.
Speaker 11 (25:33):
Yeah, it's it's it's it's definitely a challenging time. I think,
you know, the landscape and sports is changing.
Speaker 12 (25:39):
You know, you have nil, you have all these.
Speaker 11 (25:40):
Different things that have kind of shifted how we go about,
you know, making developing players. So you know, I would
just say to the guys, you know, keep the main thing,
the main thing, you know, don't forget you know what
you know what brings a lot of these activations and
activity that we see happened to guys as they transition
in their careers.
Speaker 12 (25:58):
You know, so it's really important to hone.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
Your craft, to learn how to be a good pro,
take care of your body, all those things, and keeping
the main thing the main thing really helped me keep
you know, my toes on the ground and focus on,
you know, the task at hand.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Josie, let's go back to Green Bay and back to
the drafts. You know how this works. You're announcing it
pick your backstage, there's a lot of waiting around. You
have no idea who the player is going to be,
what their name is, that's all this mystery.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
And then there's this moment.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Where someone taps you on the shoulder, hands you the
card and it says Jackson Hawes, Georgia Tech.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
What was that moment like and just take us into that.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
You know, well, first, congratulations Jackson Hawes, you know, talented.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Tip.
Speaker 11 (26:43):
We're super excited at the pick, and yeah, I mean
it's it's it's exhilarating because there's a lot of there's
a lot of things happening, as you know at a draft, right,
a lot of a lot of things changing in the
war room, so you have to constantly be on your
toes ready for whatever. But it's it's it's kind of fun,
you know, It's really fun the way it's set up
and the way it challenges teams to kind of think
(27:04):
on the lie. So you know, it was it was fun.
It was great to be a part of the process,
and like I said, it was a huge honor.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
Hey, Josie, are there any soccer traditions that you would
like to see incorporate into the NFL games? I know,
for me, I'm actually a big soccer fan. I watched
the Premier League. I love it. I love the player
escort tradition. Wanted to get your perspective on that.
Speaker 12 (27:24):
Yeah, that'd be interesting. You know, the NFL has got
some big dudes different but you.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Know, I don't know.
Speaker 11 (27:31):
You know, I think the NFL right now is such
a wonderful brand. I think they've done a terrific job
with the fan engagement, bringing the game internationally. We saw
that in the draft, you know, picks being announced from
all over the world. So it's it's definitely hard when
you think about how can they be better because they
do so many things well you know, in Buffalo, you know,
we have a lot of great fan engagement, So I.
Speaker 12 (27:52):
Don't think we need anything more right now.
Speaker 11 (27:54):
I think the kids, you know, walking out with the
players would be a cool touch. I think that'd be
kind of fun. Yeah, let's see. I think it'd be
cool to brainstorm. But soccer is a bit different, you know,
in terms of how the fans act. But in Buffalo
we bring a lot of that. You know, the fans
don't sit the entire game. They're they're hooting and hollering,
and it's a really fun environment.
Speaker 12 (28:15):
So we'll see what we can add on. We'll see,
all right, So.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
You talk about the fan engagement in Buffalo, I feel
like everyone in their life should experience a Bill's tailgate.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
At least once.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
So if you get to do it, I don't know
if you have done it yet, but if you do
it this upcoming year, would you rather jump through a
table or take a shot out of pinto Ron's bowling ball?
Speaker 11 (28:38):
You know, I don't know, that's two choices, difficult choices,
but you know what, you know, you'll probably see me
do a little bit of both. I don't know, you know,
it's it's really difficult to not engage with such an
infectious fan base. You know that there's such behind the team.
You know, they're already prepping for games from Thursday on
in Buffalo's It's just incredible, you know what it means
(29:00):
to the city.
Speaker 12 (29:01):
So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 11 (29:02):
I think maybe more likely got I'll have to clean
out the bowling ball first, but maybe it's better, you.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Know, I love that for you, good formmunity.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Probably.
Speaker 12 (29:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Now, Josey, the World the World Cup is coming here
next summer in LA I can't wait for it. Personally,
I'm definitely going to check it out. I'm not sure
how many drivers are going to be excited about that
with the traffic already how it is, I don't know
how to take it. What is your take though on
Team USA right now in the state of soccer just
in the United States.
Speaker 11 (29:32):
Oh, it's incredible, you know, you know, like you said,
a home World Cup is going to be, you know,
such a great, great honor for the US.
Speaker 12 (29:39):
I think it's going to.
Speaker 11 (29:40):
Really cause a really big kind of explosion in the
game where we see kind of the effect that we
had in ninety eight, you know, in terms of soccer
in the United States. So really excited for what it's
going to bring to the game and how it's going
to bring a ton of growth, and excited for our squad.
You know, I know, you know, there's been some challenges
in the lead up, but anytime you get a home
(30:01):
World Cup on home soil, you know, in a stadium
like so Far, where you're going to have you know,
seventy thousand you know, USA fans screaming, I think it's
going to be an incredible experience. And you know, I
actually had had a chance to tour the National Training Center,
the new National Training Center in Atlanta, Georgia, and you know,
what's coming to this country is incredible for the game.
So really excited for our national team, you know, super
(30:25):
pumped for the country to host the World Cup.
Speaker 12 (30:27):
And I think.
Speaker 11 (30:28):
It's going to do wonders for the development in the
game and it's going to have a ripple effect for
years to come.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Jase, I'm so glad you brought up the World Cup.
But before the World Cup starts this summer, the FIFA
Club World Cup starts, tell us a little bit about that, Jose,
I didn't know that was a different thing. I thought
it was just a FIFA World Cup. But tell us
a little bit about that FIFA Club World Cup.
Speaker 11 (30:49):
Yeah, people, World Club is basically a collection of some
of the best clubs in the world, basically from each continent.
So you'll have m MOLS teams, South American, Asian teams,
European all over the globe coming here to compete, and
basically a World Cup to decide that the best club
team in the world. So, you know, that's another tournament
that's really exciting, really important for you know, clubs like
(31:12):
you know our MLS clubs, clubs in League A, mex
and Mexico, European clubs. You know, it's important for these
clubs kind of face each other in the United States, again,
an opportunity for the game to grow and for kids
all over the country to come out and watch some
of their favorite world soccer players.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Hey, Josie, is that the same as the Champions League
tournament or no is.
Speaker 11 (31:35):
A collection of the Europeans best teams. So this is
a collection of all the best teams around the world.
So whether you play in Europe, South America, the United States,
you know, all the best teams from around the world
have been selected and will compete in this tournament in
terms of club teams.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Well, on the topic of a global collection of greatness, Jose,
you have some really cool stuff on your Instagram. You
have photos from the two thousand and eight summer and
picks and it's you, and it's Kobe and it's.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
A much younger Lebron. These are amazing. Can you tell
us stories about these please?
Speaker 11 (32:12):
Oh Man, obviously you know recipees. Kobe Bryant, huge legend.
He's a huge fan of soccer in our country, so
he was a huge advocate for US soccer. We love
Kobe obviously an incredible role model. This was, yeah, the
two thousand and eight Beijing Olympics. Incredible experience, you know.
Funny fun fact actually, so we weren't actually staying in
(32:33):
the village, so we weren't supposed to attend this, but
myself and a group of guys were like, this is
once in a lifetime. We got to go down to
the village, go to the opening ceremonies and you know,
looking back at it now, such a great choice, right,
like to be able to see so many great stars
and you know, those are some of the pictures you
see there. But you know, there was Dirk, there was
a ton of other people, a da other sports, a
(32:56):
surreal experience and so happy.
Speaker 12 (32:58):
We got to do it, and it was an honor
to represent the United States.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Well, it was an honor to have you come on
our show this morning.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Thank you so.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Much, and listen if you do end up taking a
shot out of Pinto Ron's bowling ball.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
A couple feet away from him is Captain Bill. Captain Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
I'm sorry, excuse me, Captain Buffalo, who makes meatballs in
a bedpan and apparently there.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
To die for.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
So you can also check that out as well. Make
sure you come back, survive that talk some bills with
us anytime.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Thank you so much, Josie for coming on
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Welcome, Welcome, everybody too, Good Morning Football. It is Monday,
April twenty eighth.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
We have made it through the draft.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm Colleen Wolf sitting in for Jamie Erdle alongside Matt Tityo.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
And the first time or.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Two the breakfast table, we got Chase Edmonds in the house,
and all the way on the other coast we got
Kyle Brant and New York City went up.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Kyle, I love our room. There's a good room right here.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
We got good energy, we got good experience, we got
good vibes. You know all these teams put together in
their draft boards. I like this draft board. I think
we can win games with this draft, and I think
it starts right now. GMTB Let's rock and.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
Roll, Good Morning Football.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Hello, Hello everybody, and welcome into the show. I cannot
believe that the draft is over because so much.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Went into it, so much.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Preparation, as you just heard last segment, so many mock
drafts as well. As we get into everything here. But
before we get into the lead block, though, I do
want to bring something up to Kyle Brandt which I
found very very funny.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
When we were doing.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Some hits on Friday before the draft, Kyle leans over
and shows me his phone and he goes, hey, like
in a hush tone, you have this thing that comes
up under your text.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It says red after like he's.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Explaining to me about red receipts, as if I don't
know what they are, and as if I don't know
that I have them on.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
And Kyle, I just found that so hilarious. I think
everyone out.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
There should have their red receipts on because you know,
you just let people know when this is like a
very strange take. You let people know that you haven't
gotten to your text yet. And Kyle, did I change
your mind at all?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Yeah? Colleen made a very convincing case. Guys.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I was trying to do something like if someone flies
down and there's something in their teeth, like you try
to tell them as a friend, you're looking out for them.
I'm like Colleen, by the way, people know.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
That you read their texts.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
But then Colleen has this whole take where she wants
people to know the message.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
You twisted this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Colleen, I haven't changed my settings yet, but you did
get me halfway there.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, listen for anyone out there, if you're not, if
you're behind on text messages, this is my thing. Like
text messages pile up. I want people to know that
I haven't gotten to it yet. It's not that I'm
ignoring you.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I just haven't read it yet.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So it's going to be on unread for a second
and then I'll get to it. So I don't know,
maybe just take that.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Into account everyone, We'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
All right, Let's talk a little bit about the draft,
because we talked a lot about.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Schador Sanders in the first hour.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Let's stick with the quarterbacks though here and discuss some
of the others.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
So, Man Tai, let's go with your quarterback.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
The quarterback that I'm really looking forward to is going
to be Shuder's teammate, Dylan Gabriel. Dylan Gabriel is somebody
in college football that said a lot of records. Matter
of fact, he said two FBS records for starts with
sixty three, previously held by bow Knicks, who at sixty one.
So that means that this guy has a lot of experience.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
He's seen a lot of football. He's played football at.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
Oklahoma, at first ball was at Oklahoma and then Oregon.
I think he was somewhere Central Florida or something like
that before that for two years.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
But anyway, he's.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Played a lot of football at the highest level, and
he was a Heisman finalist, So he was with Shadur
Sanders teammate Travis Hunter at the Heisman ceremony. So this
is a guy who in twenty twenty four was also
the Big Ten Conference Offensive Player of the Year. So
You're drafted third round, Shaduur is drafted in the fifth round.
(03:52):
We keep talking about how this is a great opportunity
for Shadur to go out there and.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Prove who he is who he says he is.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
This is also a great opportunity for Dylan Gabriel to
go into this facility and to go into this to
going to this locker room and established why he should
be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns and why
he was picked before Shador Sanders, and so I think
this is set up perfectly for Dylan Gabriel.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
He's had a lot of a lot.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Of experience, like I said before, and he's won a
lot of games, and so he is also has the
second highest QB rating and also second in accuracy, and
so there's so many different similarities between him and Shador.
So I'm really looking forward to seeing how this all
plays out for the Cleveland Browns, especially Dylan Gabriel.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
And was the school.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yeah yeah, thank.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
You, thank you, thank you. More team.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
I'm really looking forward to that competition as well with
Dylan Gabriel and Schador centers. You mentioned it, Kyle, you
mentioned it as well. Being selected in the third round
and then Shador in the fifth round. There's not really
no financial, big financial commitment to either players. So I'm
looking forward to be a really just a competition committee
coming in there a say fellas, best man wins, right,
best man is gonna stick around for me personally, I'm
(05:03):
gonna go with Tyler show to the New Orleans Saints.
And I thought that this pick was very interesting for
a couple of different reasons. Right, you got Tyler Shuck
coming out, and you know he had a big injury,
kind of ridiculed career, three season ending.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Injuries, I believe.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
But one thing that I love for his opportunity he's
walking in.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
He can be a Day one starter. Immediately the news
came out.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
About a month ago, about two weeks ago, Derek Carr
is dealing with a shoulder injury. The Sansia not really sure,
the medical team doesn't really know what's going on with him.
Tyler Shuck mintiw you know it. Those Ota reps are very,
very valuable, bro, and he's going to have that opportunity
to really win over the staff, win over Keller Moore.
It's a big opportunity for him to go in there
and prove that he can be a day one starter.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
And he really won over a lot of people with
that draft shot and the Golden Retriever that was in there,
because we saw leading up to his pick before the
Golden Retriever green room slide, because we saw the Golden
Retriever on our monitors backstage just staring at the.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Wall looking like very upset.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
So, I mean, I think that this was a huge
win for all dog lovers everywhere too.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Kyle, I that was a.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Good, good dog, just a great dog, and I absolutely
love it. So, mister Irrelevant in this drafts cornerback Kobe
Minor from the University of Memphis.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Kobe Minor. I think Kobe Minor, the.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Last person in the taken in the draft got more
attention and hype than cam Ward, the first.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Person taken in the draft.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I want to talk about mister relevant, which is the
number one overall pick.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Guys, this is history.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I've never ever seen less focused, less buzz less anything
on the number one overall pick in the draft. I
remember when the number one overall pick was an offensive
lineman from Central Michigan named Eric Fisher, and he might
as well have been Peyton Mann.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
He compared to cam Ward. Cam Ward is sitting there.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Number one, and it's like he has a two syllable
name and we're halfway through the first syllable and it's
already like, well, let's talk shador Chadu was very interesting
and very compelling. Let's just take one hot second to
be like cam Ward. Incredible journey, zero star recruit, three.
Speaker 8 (07:09):
Different colleges, You're the best player at the draft looking
down on all these Ohio State guys and Georgia guys,
and he went to incarnate word. Cam Ward's coolest thing
is that there is nothing to talk about because he
doesn't give anything to.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Talk about, because he is that solid as a person,
that solid as a player. I'm not familiar with who
cam Ward's father is I don't know much about him.
I don't know anything about he does on social media.
I know he's a hell of a football player and
deserves credit for that. And you know what, Tennessee Titans fans,
if you want a little bit of sizzle and you
want some conversation, you damn well deserve it, because you
(07:44):
better believe if that number one overall pick was to
the New York Giants or the Dallas Cowboys or the
Chicago Bears, there'd be way more cam Ward talk. But
it's the fact that he's going to the Titans, and
maybe the Titans logo doesn't jump off the marquee that
you're not getting it. So, Titans fans, I see you,
I love you, and I give you the gift of
(08:04):
this beautiful image.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Cam Ward wears number.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
One in college, but hold on a second. Number one
for that organization was Warren Moon. He's an all time great.
He's not gonna wear number one, Yes he is. Because
of his media session. Warren Moon showed up himself.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
It's awesome and gives him a handoff.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
He says, you will wear number one for this organization.
I bless you, I respect you, and thank God for
Warren Moon doing this. Otherwise he's the only person on
the face of the earth who seems to have any
interest whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
And again, the number one pick in the.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Draft, who is such a good player and such a
good pick that no one has any debate to this,
There was zero, zero debate about who should go number
one in a draft that includes an all time historic
two way player.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
And so like Travils, Hunt is great. But my god,
that cam Ward is good. He certainly is.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
He's at the right place, he's at a great organization,
he's got his jersey number. And for just one hot
second before I get a Shepherd hook that pulls me
off the air for talking about let's say, cam great job,
we're following you, rooting for you, and even better than that.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
We're actually bleeping talking about you. Cam Ward.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Congratulations, yes, congrats, you know what.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
And we're talking about his dad too, Calvin Ward. By
the way, uh, Kyle.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
And listen, let's go Calvin.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
If Warren Moon tells you to wear number one, if
he tells you anything, you are listening to him.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
You're doing it.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
There is no actual other way to do.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
That's the rules. I mean. Once Warren Moon comes in,
you'll listen.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
But for the longest time leading up to the draft,
it was cam Ward's first to the Titans, and then
it was kind of like a foregone conclusion. But Shador
Sanders was always the second quarterback we talked about.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
So, Kyle, what happened? Why was this so off this year?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Because you talk about Aaron Rodgers and the slide that
he had, and that feels like the biggest drama that
happened in draft history.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
But now it's this at Shador Sanders.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, listen, this is a totally different weight class. Rogers
went to twenty four. You know, he gets picked in
the green room. We can talk about all of these guys. Eventually,
Brady Quinn got picked and came out on the stage.
Gino Smith came back the next day and got picked.
Will Levis got picked the next day. This is a
totally different thing.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Most of the draft projections are always off because no
one can project the draft.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I talked about this earlier.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I have a packet here of sixty seven different mock drafts.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
This is sixty seven of them now not by just people.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I'm talking about media members, and the number one I'll
give him credit Mike Band with the NFL got eleven right,
eleven right out of thirty two picks, and he was
the number one by far. I'm not going to read
the names of on the third page because there are
people I like, and some of them I know.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
These people who are really smart and plugged into.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Football, got two picks right, got three picks right out
of thirty two.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
So it's just it's impossible to predict.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And to follow up your question, Colleen, a lot of
these people who actually did quote unquote, well they had
Shadur in the first round, not the second, not the third.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
In the first round. That's the bell of the ball
in terms of how the projections were off on this.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And I think again, I think again, we made Shaduur
something that the coaches in the GMS did not see
him as being someone who was worth it. Shadur is
going to bring some stuff. There's gonna be extra media,
there's gonna be extra attention. And Shadur's father is a
powerful figure in the media who is not afraid to
speak out if you're not playing his son.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Perhaps, so I'll put up with that. I don't care.
I'll put up with that. If I'm an NFL coach
or GM.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
If the player is great and I can't pass on him,
I'm happy to have that the player is not great.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
In their eyes. Nobody in this draft loved him.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Maybe some people liked him a little bit, but zero
out of thirty two teams loved him. I don't think
the Browns love him. I'm not even sure the Browns
like him. The pick doesn't make any sense. Why would
you take two rookie quarterbacks just a couple rounds apart.
How much could you really like either of them? Then
it's a very strange pick. And I just think we
(12:06):
thought Dion prime time. He turned Colorado around, that's great.
I remember there's a million quarterbacks we've seen who have
done a lot of winning and change programs. The NFL
is not interested in him. Go look up Jason White,
he won the Heisman Trophy. Had no interest at all. Shadoor.
They just didn't like and I don't think they wanted
the things to come with him.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
If he's going to be a backup A what a bomb?
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Right, oh bro?
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Just like in KB fashion. What I would say is
far why are the projection so off? Is because the
projections are what they have at their disposal. As far
as the information is the same thing that we all have.
Is what media is saying, Right, you can come watch
the film, you can study the tape, But what we've
learned in this whole draft process is the tape only
tells one side of the story. What these franchises that
(12:52):
are actually looking into these quarterbacks that's actually looking to
shirdor have. They have things like private workouts, They have
things like private meetings where they get to meet with
this quarterback with not just Shador, with every athlete. They
get to sit them down, talk about their life, put
on some film. Hey, why would you make this decision?
Why would you Why wouldn't you throw in here? What
(13:12):
would you do if you saw this this coverage? What
would you do if you saw this player? And listen
to their response? And they have that information at their disposal,
We don't. These all of these experts that put together
these projections, they have all the information that we.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
As general public do.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
So I think you're so off because there is a
very few, very few teams that actually wanted a quarterback,
that actually needed a quarterback. And to kb's point, nobody
really was in love with a certain player, they kind
of liked them, but then as they start to get
more information about them, as.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
They start to sit in these meetings.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
With them, they may have found some information or may
have seen some things with this that comes with a
certain drop pick that they're like, you know what, this
may not be the type of investment that I want
to make, and based on that information, hence the fall.
So that's that's the way I see it.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I hear that, Colleen.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
I'm going to say a word that you don't like
the intangibles.
Speaker 9 (14:06):
Oh my god, the intangibles though, Man, I'm gonna say
intangibles because you made a good point that the media
doesn't have access to certain things with these draft these
my drafts, as these coaches and these personnel.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
You bring a player in, you have an interview with him,
you really get to sit down understand him. How is
he on the board, how is he as a man,
how is he going to fit into our culture? All
these things go into account when you talk about selecting
an individual like I remember, for me personally, I was
almost known as like one of the smartest running backs
coming out of my draft class. Okay, I want to
(14:42):
Fordham now. But so and that That really boosted my
draft stock inside the NFL circles, and hey, we know
this guy can be an immediate third down back because
he understands the.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Protection so well.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
So just to really pivot off at that point, I
think that it comes down to just the intangibles. And
when these UH personnelit these guys actually sit down with
the player, they start to say, ah, I love him
as the player. Do we think he fits our culture?
Do think he fits our locker room? Maybe this guy,
also at a different position can do a little better
job for us.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Well, he ended up going to the Browns.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
It was funny when I was at the airport leaving
Green Bay.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
This was on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Dante Hall was there with me, and Dante Hall was
talking to one of the Browns people who was also leaving,
and he's like, come on, man, what happened. Why didn't
you guys take Shador? What's going on with Shador? And
then lo and behold they end up taking Chador. So
maybe Dante Hall actually spoke it into existence.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Kyle, Well, let's just do a little round up here, Colleen.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
What we've learned this morning is that Mantai had about
thirty seven interceptions college, and Chase is the smartest running.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Back coming out of college.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Colleen, Yeah, I'll give you a second to brag about yourself.
In nineteen ninety six, I was second team.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
All state high school football. So Colleen, what'd you do?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I'm giving Drexel's commencement speech this year.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
So that's cool, that's exciting.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
We look at you. I don't know yet, I got
to write it.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
We'll figure it out. Good luck, God screet out there.
Welcome back to the GMFB. It is time for game ball.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Who sent it by CDW so Man Tai. I don't
know how you narrowed this down to just one game ball,
but you did it.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
So who won the draft?
Speaker 4 (16:23):
We did it.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
We did it for me. You know who won the draft?
The New York Giants. The New York Giants, in my opinion,
won the twenty twenty five NFL Draft, and the reason
being is this. They draft Abdul Carter as their first
first round pick, the first first round pick, because they
did two. Now you add Abdul Carter to this front
four Brian Burns, Caveon Thibodau, Dexter, Lawrence Roy, Robertson, Harris.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
If we learned anything from the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Is this, It doesn't matter who's the quarterback for the
opposing team. If you keep him on his back, you're
going to win the Super Bowl. And in the words
of a really good friend of mine, coach Rich Miano,
he said, the best pass defense is a pass rush.
So that's what they handled with Abdul Carter. They trade
back into the first round to pick up the quarterback
that they like, Jackson Dark, who played at All Miss
had a very successful career there as a gunslinger. I
(17:10):
really like Jackson Dark as a quarterback in this league.
They draft another athletic d tackle in Darris Alexander out
of Toledo. We talked about him during the combine. His
performance there. The guy was just moving. He's very athletic,
and he's going to cause a lot of habit.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
In the backfield.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
But the fourth round pick, and okayb this pick, maybe
baby a New York Giants fan.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Camps Scataboo.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
With the New York Giants like, I don't know how,
I don't know a better way to seal the deal
by drafting this guy. So for me, Brian Daveon Joe Shane,
hell of a job. Great job by your scouting department
because I thought that they won not only the draft,
but they want a new fan in Kyle Brant, because
now Kyle Brant is a New York Giants fan.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Clomb pans scattaboo, and Kyle's face just loves up when
you bring up his name. And also with Abdiel Carter
grew up in the Philadelphia area as an e goes
to the Giants and then renounces.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
His fandom and allegiance to the Eagles. I also just
absolutely love that so much.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Chase, how about you mentioned it?
Speaker 7 (18:14):
You mentioned it, You mentioned it, Mantime, Joe Dabill. I'm
glad you guys did well in the draft. They're gonna
need it. I think they are playing for their jobs
this year. And one thing I will say about the
Abduke Carter before I get to my take, is that
it reminds me what the San Francisco forty nine ers
did a couple of years back when.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
They built that D line.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
They went from the second pick in the draft that
was my rookie year, where they drafted Nick Bosa.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
They had a bunch of first round picks up on
that D line.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
They went all the way to the Super Bowl the
following year. For me, though, I'm gonna go roll with
Mike Rain the New England Patriots down over there in
New England Foxborough. I absolutely love what these guys did
in their draft class. You talk about how do we
get better? Immediately you hit on Drake May last year. Well,
you know what, let's go pick some guys that are
gonna help Drake May directly. Will Campbell first round pick,
(18:59):
got the left tackle. To me, in my opinion, there's
only two connections that matter in football, the most of
the quarterback quarterback receiver, and right behind it his quarterback
left tack. Where you get country boy Will to really
protect Drake May.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Help him out, keep him up right.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
The second pick, Trayvon Henderson. I love Treyvon Henderson. He
has so much juice. He's electric. I think honestly his
best fit is going to be sharing the rock with
another running back, so to be able to come off
as a change of pace back with Raman J.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Stevenson.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
I think that's going to be wonders for the New
England Patriots in that offensive unit. And then you got
Kyle Williams coming out of Washington State. If you turn
on the film with Kyle Williams. I'm a big fan
of his. Actually, he does so well with the ball
in his hands, and just talking about Yak where you
don't always got to have that deep play threat. You
don't always got to hit him on the post. He
can take a slant fifty.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yards and go chase. I'm a big fan of yours.
You're really good with the camera on you right now.
I know that's why they loved you with that broadcast
boot camp.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I heard you got like a game ball, you got
like a captain cy and everything. I can see it.
Why do you clean house in that thing?
Speaker 4 (20:00):
It looks like it?
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Man, I'm humble, man, so KB, I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
I thought I did well enough.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
I must be home mery with you guys.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
You know what, when I say did you clean house
at the boot camp and you say I'm humble, that
means yes, I love that you did it.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
I can tell you really did all right. So I'm
going to break the mold a little bit on this.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Rather than naming a player or a team or something
like that, I think the biggest winner today are just
the wonderful and hilarious people who give out draft grades
these things are the best.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I love. Is there anything more clickable than.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
A draft grade? They're so funny, and the people who
make them know that they're funny. But like PFF Pro
Football Focus, totally get it, totally respect it.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
They gave the forty nine ers a D. They're like terrible,
terrible drafts. Guys.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
The Niners drafted eleven players. How could it be that pad?
There's got to be a few good players that Lynch
nailed amongst those eleven. How do you even know? I
saw another guy, Chris Trapasso. I know Chris a little bit.
I love Chris. He gives the Bengals a C.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I mean, what if Shamar Stewart becomes like TJ. Watt
or some we don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
You can go back and there's crazy, freezing cold takes
about teams that had terrible draft grades.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
It was the Seahawks Russell Wilson class.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I saw that PFT comments was talking about it, and
it was like a terrible, terrible, terrible drap and it
was like Russell Wilson. It was all these amazing players
who came in to become super studs.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
I love the draft grades.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I think that people who make them probably hate them.
But they know they're extremely clickable. I used to talk
to Pete Prisco and he'd be like, yeah, I do
power rankings during the season. I don't love it, but
everybody clicks on them. So go ahead and click on
those draft gides. Find your team. Get mad at the
draft grade is bad, Celebrate a super Bowl if it's good.
It's all clicks and all winners, even though nobody knows
(21:49):
squat about what's going to happen with these players.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Well, let's bring up Chad Reuters Reuter's draft grades.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Let's see what he did here.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
The lowest grade on here is a D minus, so
he's a pretty good grader. This is the professor that
I would run in college, Professor Reuter. Yes, I'm gonna
have to text him and see how he actually feels
about giving out these draft grades.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Kyle, all right, Well, Colleen, so Ruyders got the niners
on the far right column.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Right in the middle, he has done with.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
A B plus.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
For pro football focuses, they have a D. I mean,
what's the separation here? What are we even talking about?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Is this one of the funniest things in what we
do draft grades? Like you can talk I guess you
can grade on basically Philly needs, like if you don't
have any defensive tackles and you draft a couple of
them grades, but those defensive tackles you drafted could totally suck.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
No one knows. It's it's so funny to me. I
love you, Chad, great job.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
We love Chad.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Also, no a pluses I noticed on that, so it
goes from A to bnus.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
No Kiper gave out a plus. Though, what's up?
Speaker 7 (22:51):
No Kiper gave out a plus. He did guess to
who who to who? To the brows they drafted his
boyish and doors.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
Yeah, okay, we should have known that.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
How did we not get that? All right?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Well, amazing, I give that segment and a plus.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
We'll be back with more right here on GMTB.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
JO Enough the Buffalo Bills selection, Please welcome Josie out
the door.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
Today's a special day, not just for the Bills, but
for everyone who knows what Buffalo stands for, heart, grit,
and family. I'm proud to be a part of the
Bills ownership in the Bill's family. Thanks to Terry Pegoula
and the Pagola family and the city that never stops
believing in Buffalo.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
We don't just draft players.
Speaker 10 (23:47):
We draft dreams, We draft hope, and we draft fighters.
And today we add another chapter to that story. And
with the one hundred and seventy third pick in the
fifth round of the twenty twenty five NFL Draft, the
Buffalo Bills select Jackson Hall, tight end in Georgia.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Ten let's go.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
That was Bill Honor and US soccer legend Jealousy Altatur
announcing one of the newest members Bills and he joins
us right now.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Great to see your face. This is awesome that you're
joining us on the show.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
And very good job with the announcement, by the way,
so you've done a ton of really cool things in
your life. You were telling us a little bit about
playing it in Toronto before.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
What was it like though, being.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
On the draft stage in Green Bay in front of
everyone in the heart of the NFL world to announce
the pick at the draft.
Speaker 11 (24:40):
I mean, first, thank you guys so much for having me.
A big fan of the show. It's an honor to
be here. So yeah, that was different for me. You know,
they don't there's no prep for something like this. So
you walk out on the stage right and there's one
hundred and so odd people, one hundred thousand so odd people.
It's it's a really unique and incredible environment. And I
loved it. Honestly, I loved it. It felt like, you know,
(25:01):
you're playing days again in a sense. So I had
great time. And it's such a big honor to make
a pick like that for the Bills Nation and all
the Bills fans in attendance, it was so cool.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Josie talking about the draft, you yourself were the seventeenth
overall pick in the twenty in two thousand and six
MLS Super Draft, and as now a partial owner of
the Buffalo Bills, what kind of advice would you have
for rookies that are now transitioning into the pro life,
for the Buffalo Bills and rookies around the NFL.
Speaker 11 (25:33):
Yeah, it's it's it's it's definitely a challenging time. I think,
you know, the landscape and sports is changing.
Speaker 12 (25:39):
You know, you have nil, you have all these.
Speaker 11 (25:40):
Different things that have kind of shifted how we go about,
you know, making developing players. So you know, I would
just say to the guys, you know, keep the main thing,
the main thing, you know, don't forget you know what
you know what brings a lot of these activations and
activity that we see happened to guys as they transition
in their careers.
Speaker 12 (25:58):
You know, so it's really important to hone.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
Your craft, to learn how to be a good pro,
take care of your body, all those things, and keeping
the main thing the main thing really helped me keep
you know, my toes on the ground and focus on,
you know, the task at hand.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Josie, let's go back to Green Bay and back to
the drafts. You know how this works. You're announcing it
pick your backstage, there's a lot of waiting around. You
have no idea who the player is going to be,
what their name is, that's all this mystery.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
And then there's this moment.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Where someone taps you on the shoulder, hands you the
card and it says Jackson Hawes, Georgia Tech.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
What was that moment like and just take us into that.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
You know, well, first, congratulations Jackson Hawes, you know, talented.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Tip.
Speaker 11 (26:43):
We're super excited at the pick, and yeah, I mean
it's it's it's exhilarating because there's a lot of there's
a lot of things happening, as you know at a draft, right,
a lot of a lot of things changing in the
war room, so you have to constantly be on your
toes ready for whatever. But it's it's it's kind of fun,
you know, It's really fun the way it's set up
and the way it challenges teams to kind of think
(27:04):
on the lie. So you know, it was it was fun.
It was great to be a part of the process,
and like I said, it was a huge honor.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
Hey, Josie, are there any soccer traditions that you would
like to see incorporate into the NFL games? I know,
for me, I'm actually a big soccer fan. I watched
the Premier League. I love it. I love the player
escort tradition. Wanted to get your perspective on that.
Speaker 12 (27:24):
Yeah, that'd be interesting. You know, the NFL has got
some big dudes different but you.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Know, I don't know.
Speaker 11 (27:31):
You know, I think the NFL right now is such
a wonderful brand. I think they've done a terrific job
with the fan engagement, bringing the game internationally. We saw
that in the draft, you know, picks being announced from
all over the world. So it's it's definitely hard when
you think about how can they be better because they
do so many things well you know, in Buffalo, you know,
we have a lot of great fan engagement, So I.
Speaker 12 (27:52):
Don't think we need anything more right now.
Speaker 11 (27:54):
I think the kids, you know, walking out with the
players would be a cool touch. I think that'd be
kind of fun. Yeah, let's see. I think it'd be
cool to brainstorm. But soccer is a bit different, you know,
in terms of how the fans act. But in Buffalo
we bring a lot of that. You know, the fans
don't sit the entire game. They're they're hooting and hollering,
and it's a really fun environment.
Speaker 12 (28:15):
So we'll see what we can add on. We'll see,
all right, So.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
You talk about the fan engagement in Buffalo, I feel
like everyone in their life should experience a Bill's tailgate.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
At least once.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
So if you get to do it, I don't know
if you have done it yet, but if you do
it this upcoming year, would you rather jump through a
table or take a shot out of pinto Ron's bowling ball?
Speaker 11 (28:38):
You know, I don't know, that's two choices, difficult choices,
but you know what, you know, you'll probably see me
do a little bit of both. I don't know, you know,
it's it's really difficult to not engage with such an
infectious fan base. You know that there's such behind the team.
You know, they're already prepping for games from Thursday on
in Buffalo's It's just incredible, you know what it means
(29:00):
to the city.
Speaker 12 (29:01):
So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 11 (29:02):
I think maybe more likely got I'll have to clean
out the bowling ball first, but maybe it's better, you.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Know, I love that for you, good formmunity.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Probably.
Speaker 12 (29:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Now, Josey, the World the World Cup is coming here
next summer in LA I can't wait for it. Personally,
I'm definitely going to check it out. I'm not sure
how many drivers are going to be excited about that
with the traffic already how it is, I don't know
how to take it. What is your take though on
Team USA right now in the state of soccer just
in the United States.
Speaker 11 (29:32):
Oh, it's incredible, you know, you know, like you said,
a home World Cup is going to be, you know,
such a great, great honor for the US.
Speaker 12 (29:39):
I think it's going to.
Speaker 11 (29:40):
Really cause a really big kind of explosion in the
game where we see kind of the effect that we
had in ninety eight, you know, in terms of soccer
in the United States. So really excited for what it's
going to bring to the game and how it's going
to bring a ton of growth, and excited for our squad.
You know, I know, you know, there's been some challenges
in the lead up, but anytime you get a home
(30:01):
World Cup on home soil, you know, in a stadium
like so Far, where you're going to have you know,
seventy thousand you know, USA fans screaming, I think it's
going to be an incredible experience. And you know, I
actually had had a chance to tour the National Training Center,
the new National Training Center in Atlanta, Georgia, and you know,
what's coming to this country is incredible for the game.
So really excited for our national team, you know, super
(30:25):
pumped for the country to host the World Cup.
Speaker 12 (30:27):
And I think.
Speaker 11 (30:28):
It's going to do wonders for the development in the
game and it's going to have a ripple effect for
years to come.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Jase, I'm so glad you brought up the World Cup.
But before the World Cup starts this summer, the FIFA
Club World Cup starts, tell us a little bit about that, Jose,
I didn't know that was a different thing. I thought
it was just a FIFA World Cup. But tell us
a little bit about that FIFA Club World Cup.
Speaker 11 (30:49):
Yeah, people, World Club is basically a collection of some
of the best clubs in the world, basically from each continent.
So you'll have m MOLS teams, South American, Asian teams,
European all over the globe coming here to compete, and
basically a World Cup to decide that the best club
team in the world. So, you know, that's another tournament
that's really exciting, really important for you know, clubs like
(31:12):
you know our MLS clubs, clubs in League A, mex
and Mexico, European clubs. You know, it's important for these
clubs kind of face each other in the United States, again,
an opportunity for the game to grow and for kids
all over the country to come out and watch some
of their favorite world soccer players.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Hey, Josie, is that the same as the Champions League
tournament or no is.
Speaker 11 (31:35):
A collection of the Europeans best teams. So this is
a collection of all the best teams around the world.
So whether you play in Europe, South America, the United States,
you know, all the best teams from around the world
have been selected and will compete in this tournament in
terms of club teams.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Well, on the topic of a global collection of greatness, Jose,
you have some really cool stuff on your Instagram. You
have photos from the two thousand and eight summer and
picks and it's you, and it's Kobe and it's.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
A much younger Lebron. These are amazing. Can you tell
us stories about these please?
Speaker 11 (32:12):
Oh Man, obviously you know recipees. Kobe Bryant, huge legend.
He's a huge fan of soccer in our country, so
he was a huge advocate for US soccer. We love
Kobe obviously an incredible role model. This was, yeah, the
two thousand and eight Beijing Olympics. Incredible experience, you know.
Funny fun fact actually, so we weren't actually staying in
(32:33):
the village, so we weren't supposed to attend this, but
myself and a group of guys were like, this is
once in a lifetime. We got to go down to
the village, go to the opening ceremonies and you know,
looking back at it now, such a great choice, right,
like to be able to see so many great stars
and you know, those are some of the pictures you
see there. But you know, there was Dirk, there was
a ton of other people, a da other sports, a
(32:56):
surreal experience and so happy.
Speaker 12 (32:58):
We got to do it, and it was an honor
to represent the United States.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Well, it was an honor to have you come on
our show this morning.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Thank you so.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Much, and listen if you do end up taking a
shot out of Pinto Ron's bowling ball.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
A couple feet away from him is Captain Bill. Captain Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
I'm sorry, excuse me, Captain Buffalo, who makes meatballs in
a bedpan and apparently there.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
To die for.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
So you can also check that out as well. Make
sure you come back, survive that talk some bills with
us anytime.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Thank you so much, Josie for coming on
