(00:00):
Forty ec opening Fox Sports nine eightyninety five point nine. Fact, it's
time for the Top four four withLevac and Guzy. Time for the four
biggest stories in the world of sports. It is brought to you by our
good friends at Mohawk Hondor, wherethey always go out of their way to
please you. Guys. What's thefourth biggest story? There's a lot going

(00:22):
on in college athletics right now,spring football, transfer portals opening college basketball,
But this one might have the biggestimpact months from now. The story
coming from FedEx. Yes, that'sright. FedEx pledged twenty five million dollars
over the next five years to bein sponsorship deals with the University of Memphis

(00:43):
athletes. That's already twenty five milliondollar NIL deal. Now dozens of athletes
will be involved in this five milliondollars per year. How would the company
do that? Maybe it could bewith basketball football, the spring CLEVAC.
When you hear companies giving twenty fivemillion athletics, are you still okay with

(01:03):
nil and college athletics moving in thisdirection? When big old payments like this
come from power companies, I meanyeah, I mean it's it's they were
gonna use it anyway they were gonnado. They were probably they probably just
gonna give it to the school orgive it to whoever. Now the students

(01:23):
all get a piece of it.They are based in Memphis, Tennessee,
so it makes it makes a Itmakes a lot of sense that it would
come together this way. It's weird. It's just hearing that number money,
right, and that's it, LikeI think most people would react and saying
the reaction I had the twenty fivemillion, but I have to remember it,
like I'm kind of shocked that hasn'thappened before. You would think some

(01:47):
of these big time companies would publicly, yes, that's that's true, that
publicly these big time donations ways ofsupport colleges didn't happen because you don't know
what nil was a year ago orthree years ago. That was it smarter
to get in then or now?Or is it even smart to get in?
What is your return of investment?How does it help your brand?

(02:07):
Most people still don't know the answersto those questions. I will say this
that usually it's football and basketball thatgets the most love. We are approaching
a time now that it's gonna beeverybody like if you want to own the
softball, to be good women's basketball, to be good baseball, Like everybody
can get a cut of this.So it's like scholarship plus at il.

(02:28):
I think the way we view scholarshipsin maybe the next decade will be totally
thought differently of all right, SoFrederick Smith is the founder of FedEx.
His son Arthur Smith just got firedby the Falcons as the head coach.
Do you know where he went tocollege, mister Smith, My guess would
be Memphis, the founder of FedEx. Yes, Yale. I'm gonna move

(02:54):
on to story number three. Nottoday, not with him today? Okay,
I got ten no, no,no, no, you see what
he's doing. No Yankees Rays starta series tonight's seven oh five Orioles Royals.
I just squeeze that in because theyhad some time in you. Jackson
Holliday get a hit for God's sakes, Mets and Dodgers, ten to ten,
Diamondbacks Giants, and series of notesin Red Sox fans. What do

(03:15):
you forget about you? It's asix to forty series in the Pirates coming
up as well. Uh lvac,I know the Yankees are always top of
mind. You are a Yankee fan, But it feels like when you talk
about, you know what, I'mnot gonna hedge that. What if some
more impactful series right now, theYankees taking on a team in the race
that's an Al East foe, orthe Mets getting the best team arguably still

(03:37):
in baseball and finding out where theystack up in the National League as they
go on the road to take onthe Dodgers. What are the Mets play
the Yankees? I thought you saidthe Yanks are playing the Rays. You
said the Mets playing the best teamin baseball. Oh, I'll make no
kind to me. I don't understandwhat's happening there, buddy. That's weird.
That is weird. Obviously it's YankeesRays. I mean, obviously I'm

(04:00):
gonna go with the Mets and theDodgers especially I knew I said the Dargers
correctly, that the Mets could lookat the series of the Dodgers and obviously
it's not a visional team and say, okay, how far away are we?
Do we believe the Dodgers are thebest team in the National League,
maybe the best team in baseball?Did they spend on Otani? What is
up with hippie. I'm gonna randomlyjust drop that throughout the baseball season.
If the Mets dominate LA, ifthey destroy the Dodgers, how excited is

(04:24):
Uncle Steve Cohen gonna get He's gonnathink you want He's gonna think this team
can win the World Series. Metfan, you can get excited too,
Dodger fan, I don't know howmuch money you have to spend. It
just dominate the National League and makesure it happens in the postseason, which
has always been the Dodgers concern.But I'd say more impactful series Mets Dodgers
over Yankees race. It's so sadwhen these teams just try to buy championships.

(04:49):
Moving on a story number two here, the NHL playoffs are set yet
so quickly. I'm gonna run throughthe bracket. Take note at home if
you haven't updated in your NHL playoffbracket, because I'm gonna force Levak to
pick a Stanley Cup. A StanleyCup from the West the East. Here's
what the bracket looks like quickly onthe Western Conference side, Stars Golden Knights

(05:10):
on the top left, Winnipeg Jets, Colorado Avalanche, Vancouver Caducks, Nashville
Predators, Edmonton Oilers, La Kings. That's on the Western conference side.
On the Eastern conference side, itlooks like this top right. Florida Panthers,
Tampa Bay Lightning, Boston Bruins,Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers,

(05:30):
Washington Capitals, Carolina Hurricanes, NewYork Islanders lovec While you think about
it, I'm gonna jump the gunand pick my Stanley Cup. You ready,
locke in right now? Let's makeit an All Canada final Maple Leafs
Oilers Conor McDavid versus Austin Matthews.The maple Leafs lose to the Oilers.

(05:55):
Oilers over maple Leafs. Toronto isclose to finally breaking the curse. Give
me an All Canada final. Oilersover maple Leafs. I'm gonna lock that
in bot, you know what.I'm not making that to play the day.
I'm gonna wait till Monday to seeif they get down in the series
and get a little better number.If they are down against the Bruins.
So that's my pick, Maple Leafs, Oilers, best players reached conference.

(06:18):
How about Rangers over Oilers? How'sthat? Huh? Rangers over oilers.
I don't want to use the teamyou used. Rangers over Dallas. Let's
get mark up in here, Rangersover over Dallas. Give me that you
do have your New York parlay stillin play? Come home, baby,

(06:40):
that didn't need forty eight Nala.You haven't touched it yet, you haven't
hedged, you haven't done two ofthree yet, one of three yet you
are letting it flow just like that. No, I mean it's I was
sitting there the one night at eighteendollars and some odd cents in my account,
and I said, you know what, let's do this. Let's let's
commit via wager and see where weget to. And uh, here I

(07:05):
sit. It went up. Itwent up last night, oh six something.
Now it's seven dollars and sixty threecents to cash out. So all
right, so here we go.That feels pretty good. I think,
Oh, it's gonna feel good whenthat eighteen sixty four turns into forty eight,
three hundred and fourteen dollars and eightyeight cents. That's what it's gonna

(07:27):
feel good. Eighty eight cents.That's that's what it's all about. Right
there. Yeah, let's go,Rangers, Come on Baby, Let's go
get Let's party the nineteen ninety fourBlue Shirts, Let's go disrespector fourth fourth
favorite wagering wise to win it all. We move on to story number one.
It's the playoffs continuing on in theNBA. Tonight, the Chicago Bulls

(07:48):
take on the Miami Heat seven o'clock. Tip off set for that game.
The Sacramento Kings take on the NewOrleans Pelicans nine thirty and I'm gonna do
a little programming note here. I'mgonna combine something, don't forget. The
New York Knicks tip off their playoffrun Saturday at six o'clock. That's what
tip off is said for that game. The Knicks host the Philadelphia seventy six

(08:09):
ers. In your home for NewYork Knicks playoff basketball is right here on
your home For the next Fox Sportsninety five, nine and nine to eighty,
Monica McNutt is gonna join us inabout eighty minutes five twenty five thirty
issues, one of the voices ofthe Knicks. She will be joining the
show in our number three Levac,how about this, Let's talk about the

(08:31):
Bulls. Let's talk about the matchupwith the Heat. We'll talk about Pelicans
Kings coming up, but how aboutyou use the final few minutes here of
the top four to four to talkabout Game one Sixers in Knicks. Your
feelings about Game one of that matchup? Right now, the Knicks are a
three and a half point favorite atthe Garden on Saturday night. I like
that. I like it. Ithink I think they will win this one.

(08:54):
I think the strategy is you latembado or whatever you want to say,
but you shut everybody else down.Then Bi goes out. There is
thirty forty points, so be it. As long as nobody else tops twenty.
That's what you do all of thegames on that Saturday night. I
just gonna add this part in MagicCavalier fans, if you're out there,

(09:16):
it is pretty funny that every oneof your games is either at one o'clock
in the afternoon or on NBA TVsomewhere. Adam Silver is that alien that's
an evil pert? Finish the series, end it in four. I mean
you're trying to pour Magic Cavs fans. Yeah, I hate you, we
hate you both. I mean,there's so much to do in Orlando and
there's nothing to do in Cleveland.Say for the move, so you know

(09:39):
it makes sense. A new storylineI like to cover in twenty twenty four
is what series well fans can planabout the officials the most in that all
of them, Where will the mostcomplaints come from? I would say it's
gonna be Mavericks Clippers as a seriesas a series because there's a lot of
superstars. How do they get calledhard and out there and more? But

(10:01):
Game One for me is about officiatingon EMBIID. How aggressive will the big
men be against EMBIID? We sawit in the playing game, and Beid
was getting a little floppy right,just falling over being her a little emotional.
How he's officiated in Game one mightset the tone for the rest of
that series. Philly Fann might bereally ticked about it. So that's the

(10:22):
storyline I've been watching. How isit embead officiating that covers them? Yeah,
you know what I mean, becauseobviously, if Mitchell Robbinson's out there,
he does. But if Harden Sign'sout there, it's it's probably og
or somebody. It's probably precious toyou. I don't hate the idea of
a little hack of EMBIID. Youknow, go out let some of the
guys from the bench go out thereand slap around a little bit and see

(10:43):
what happens. Get a couple offouls. The image of him like falling
down on the free throw. I'mnot it's not out of my mind yet,
like nobody. And also he doesfall for a couple of days.
Dude is pretty tall. It's frighteninghow long a guy that tall falls.
That is your top four to four, your top four four by way,
and Eddie's local flavor. I shouldhave shout out to the Albany Patroons.

(11:03):
By the way, they're in actionthis weekend. They're taking on the Flying
Cows. If you missed our conversationwith Trev Weisch, I just picture him
in a catapult. Somebody sat downand they're like flying Cows. Yes,
that is our team name. Weneed to make it happen. So good
luck to the mature the cow thatkept escaping down and down in like woodstock.

(11:26):
No, they literally wrote stories aboutit. They're called the Moodini.
That's what I would rather just callthe whole thing Moodini instead of flying cow.
Whoever whatever writer gave him that nicknameto serve. If they're raised right,
and also the best local flavor wegot going on this weekend involves the
Albany fire Wolves. Their chance fora home playoff game is right around the
corner. If they beat the NewYork rip Tide on April twentieth, it's

(11:48):
a home playoff game the following Sunday. It is just around the corner.
Support the Albany FireWolves. Alb FireWolvesacross social media and more their website so
you can get ready for that wholefull fingers crossed. Come on FireWolves to
see it happen that final Sunday inApril that you could be back at MVP
Arena having an opportunity to play fora championship and go for that title.

Voice of the Capitol Regions Sports FanFox Sports ninety five, nine and nine
eighty, What have you found outlike every time I ran out of here
during the commercials or whatever to answerthe phone. I was really just listening

(15:31):
to the new Taylor Swift, likewhat would what would that mean? I
thought it was so cool this morningbecause I hid the Ooh Tommy Corporate iHeart
emails about all the scoops of what'sgoing on tomorrow, which is now today.
So my sister texted me, She'slike, did you hear the Taylor
Swift drop the new album? AndI serie texted her and you know how
those go? Yeah, I knewall about it. And then she's like,
la, la la, I'm abig shot. My brother thinks he's

(15:54):
cool. I'm like, come on, like Taylors. By the way,
did she need another? I thoughtshe was gonna be like done, Like
you know what, I just hada world tour. I sold out stadiums.
How about a little break here?I'm gona did Kelsey go to a
beach and be done? Didn't?But didn't it? If I'm not mistaken.
So she dropped the album at midnight, and then she dropped a double
album at three something, dropping adeuce Taylor style? What is it?

(16:19):
This is Taylor's version duce album fromt Swift? I have no Yeah,
I've nobody drops it hotter, it'sgold and it doesn't stink I have.
I have no interest, Like Ijust I've never been I've never been anti
Taylor Swift. Like there's a lotof people anti whatever other people like I

(16:42):
do, I just shake it off. My only that's my jam. That
one cracks me up, especially becauseI can't help but do the like do
the dance and brush my shoulders offwhen it happens. But like, I
don't know, maybe maybe one ofthese songs will catch me. Maybe,
I just I'm not gonna sit downand listen. Are you gonna? Are
you and the girls you in thethe there? I know their skis you

(17:06):
and the Loss You're gonna rock out? The Taylor Swift now they're they're much
more into acoustics. I guess shehas a few acoustics, but like there
especially music will be like some guywho's barely shaved, probably not showered,
smoking a certain something and then rockingout as an acoustic countar. That's their
style. I think Clog You havea new album came out too, so
maybe they'll be on that. Myfirst I'm more interested in that. I

(17:26):
just haven't had a chance to lookfor it again another life consulting here with
you, Levac, is I agethrough this? So my first area president
was a guy named Shane. AndI was taking a car ride with Shane
when I was in my early twentiesand Shane said to me, he goes,
my goal as an area president workingin media is to always stay twenty
nine. And I didn't know whatthat quote meant, and he tried to

(17:48):
explain to me. He's like,I need to figure out what a twenty
nine year olds listening to doing sayingacting like, because that's the middle of
twenty five to fifty four. Otherwiseyou age out right and then they're like,
actually the mask not right. They'reboss, but I'll just roll along
with what you're but twenty nine yearolds don't care about math. But I
didn't know what he meant, Butnow I get it, because back to
the Taylor Swift thing, how manyhow many songs? Ten, twelve,

(18:11):
fourteen? I can't keep up anymore? Like you said to your song shake
it off, she just came outwith fourteen songs and now I gotta know
them all and their names again.How do people have like the brain capacity
to do that anymore? How doyou have all the stuff up here?
Was a bandwidth? Are you theone who started using that term bandwidth?

(18:32):
That the human brain as you getolder only has so much bandwidth left,
and that's not gonna enter it inmy bandwidth? So sorry, I'm also
out, Uh the Tortured Poets Department. Thirty one songs. Thirty one thirty
one songs. That's like three albums. Yeah, and the Swifties are gonna
know. All the names of thesixteen were expected and then they were surprised

(18:53):
with fifteen more. I just getlike one song and just sit on that
for a few months. Let it'sbeen around a little bit then enough.
He's not how the world works anymore. Man. She got a lot of
love in her heart. I guessshe even worked the word touchdown in one
of the songs. And everybody's like, oh, Travis, Oh, I
don't know, man. I justjust thought it'd be funny if every time

(19:14):
I walked out here, I waslike, you know whatever, I don't
know. I don't have the songsI care thirty of them. There's thirty
thirty one, thirty one. Guys, you know you're down. I'm way
more focused on the playing games tonight. Yes, a lot of people are
gonna look at tonight's Bulls Heats gameand go listen, Uh, this is

(19:37):
gonna be the most exciting this whateverI want. I think the Heat are
the team that had the best chanceof wearing out the Celtics. So give
me, give me the Heat tonight. Let's go. Let's get a little
little heat culture. Moving on,playing in making their way into that eight
seed. Billy Donovan versus Eric Spolstra. Eric at most of that game in

(20:02):
the playing game against Philly, andthe Internet told me this, so it
has to be true, but Ireally do believe it's true. He was
running circles around the sixers. Ohmy god, zone defense. Aha,
what do you mean you're playing zone? I thought that was illegal in the
NBA. Philly had no idea tohandle it, and I thought, like
Eric Spolster, I don't know ifit's the name. I don't know if
it's a regional thing that because he'sin South Beach. And when we talk

(20:25):
about great coaches that have to havemultiple and multiple championships in the NBA is
so superstar driven where you could reallytalk about Eric Spolster right now in all
four major professional sports as being oneof the best coaches period. Like Greg
Popovich obviously is still coaching and he'sin that discussion, but Belichick is no
longer there. But Eric Spolster shouldbe in this conversation of one of the
best coaches right now doing it athis level, and tonight's another opportunity where

(20:48):
he can prove I'm the best coachin American sports right now, Like you
get to pick your team, becauseI could potentially go out tonight and win
without Jimmy Butler, the best playeron our team. I led the Miami
Heat as an a seed last yearto the NBA Finals and almost won a
championship. I was able to handlethe egos of in the prime Lebron,

(21:11):
Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh Ohand by the way, someone who ran
it, schenected his own. PatRiley's got a little ego too. He
was able to handle all of that. So tonight, even though Butler will
get the headlines and bamb will getthe headlines and Tyler hero, poor Freddy
Coleman fell for a prank. Havedid he see poor Freddie Coleman? No,
what what they do to Freddy?I didn't mean to do this to

(21:32):
Freddy because I know he used tohost here and he's got so much love
for the Capital region. There's atweet that's going viral today that the reason
Jimmy Butler actually is hurt is becausehim and Tyler Hero got in a fight
on the bus after the game,not during the actual case, not during
that game, but a game previousin that month, because he kept screaming
out nine of twenty seven, nineof twenty seven, and then Hero kept
yelling back, no, it's nineof twenty eight, and then they got

(21:56):
in a fight. And that's none, no, no, that, none
of that's true. So out theredid not get hurt on a bus.
That is a fake tweet. AndEric Spoulstra has to deal with fake viral
tweets about his best players fighting ona bus and that's why they got hurt.
So tonight's about coaching. Tonight's aboutSpolstra, and tonight's about the Pelicans
and how they can handle the Zionbecause I will give the Pelicans coaching staff
credit too. The biggest issue thePelicans had with Zion was they didn't know

(22:18):
how to handle him. I comparedto Zion, I know your murders love
back to Strasburg, where they're like, oh, we have to manage his
minutes and his load and and ishow much time he gets on his feet
because he's hurt and this and that. You know what this coach said to
do? Uh, how about wejust play him. Willie Green's his name,
Willy Green came up with a newidea for Zion. What if he
just like plays and we don't sithim so he looks like a genius.

(22:41):
Now because of that, I Iwell a genius. But this it's I
feel like, you know, Freddieget in panic does hurt me? Right?
Sorry, throw you off there,But it's like, oh man,
we love Freddy. I probably tooka cheap shot out of fred No he
posted he didn't delete it though,No, I love it. He doesn't
take down the deleted tweet. He'slike, oh, am I bad?

(23:03):
He's yeah, he's a man's man, all right. So so this this,
let me let me go, letme go match up by matchup.
Here, let's start with the onethat actually will We played first seven o'clock
tip. Miami's hosting Chicago. Iit's one of those weird things like Chicago.
These are two logos that as aas a fan of the next New

(23:26):
York basketball these two logo should instillfearing your heart in anger and make you
want to go play whatever. Nowit's like, oh, poor guys,
like I feel I feel bad forthem. I don't feel like they're They're
not even close to what they oncewere. Be better. Come on,
we watch you back in here?This is fun over here? Was that?
Was that the gift with the statedo something? What are you doing?

(23:47):
What do you I mean? Whatdo you think just Demarta Rosen without
Jimmy Butler on the court, isthat enough? No? He move on?
Yes? I think the Heat andSpols move on. I could see
Chicago keeping this close. This gamecould come to Look, if Beam out
of Bio gets in foul trouble,that might be the way. Maybe Chicago's
good enough to force him into foultrouble and that could be the difference in
this game of who's gonna be thebest player on the floor for Miami.

(24:11):
But this feels more like Miami couldrun coast to coast in this game,
be leading the whole way and takeadvantage of Chicago. Look, Kobe White's
awesome, Kobe White, I thinkhad the stat that he had the third
most, second most, second mostpoints ever in the playing game in the
history of the NBA, which soundskind of impressive and you realize it hasn't
been around that long, but hey, put up that many points, maybe

(24:33):
you could have another night like youhad the other night. All right,
Now, on to the next game. Who's gonna be the eight seed for
the Western Conference? Sacramento Kings goingto the New Orleans Pelicans. Knows Ion
or we are? What? What? Like he's done done? What do
we know? We nobody's saying anything. Nobody, nobody knows, So allegedly
he can go back. Oh wait, it says he's out, says he's

(24:55):
out. Estimate return date May first, hmm. I would have to believe
the May first. If Zion takesthe floor in May first, that would
be wonderful. Again, the answerwould be not if they don't beat the
Kings, But with what we justtalked about a little bit with Zion,
I don't know if I always trustthe timetables for the Zion return. But

(25:15):
again it's a mood point. Ifthey lose the Sacramento tonight, I would
say branded Ingram's the best player onthe floor. So if Ingram for the
Pelicans is the best player on thefloor tonight and he can go for like
forty, that should be good enoughto beat the Kings. And I'm also
kind of rooting against the Kings becauseI wanted Kevin Herder and I want them
to be aggressive in the off seasonto help out Kevin Herder. I know

(25:36):
that sounds like a backwards way toroot for herd her, but if they
add a little bit more in theoff season, the Kings can get even
better, all right. I mean, I don't disagree, but I would
like to see Zion back. Andto your I've heard you with the theory
of if you talk about when aguy's coming back after whatever the series and
something's wrong there. So they evenout Eliite Monk shooting Guard out until April

(25:59):
twenty eighth, and then May oneis Zion, So so they even out
Yes, yes, you know,it's a harder series to read, that's
right, more specific dates. Thata little odd is that just because they
looked at the schedule. I thinkyou have to do it like as if
necessary, like like they always usedto do for the best of seven or

(26:21):
whatever, where it's like in Gamefive if necessary. So it's like because
even on some of the uh,some of the reports, I've seen Kevin
herd her out for season returns Octoberfirst, So like, obviously, you
know, we don't really need toknow exactly when Kevin's allegedly returning because he's

(26:42):
he's heard, he's got to rehab, he's gonna do all the things.
But they put down a date.I guess they just have to. I
guess say they're obligated with downe adate for some reason. Now I think
you know the reason. I thinkI know. I don't know what he's
yon te Porter. No, no, no, he's banned for life.
But if you're a wager future waitressand you're doing some research, I had

(27:03):
no conspiracy land not again for mehere, but I could think of any
other reason. I will tell youthis man. I had somebody try to
explain to me how bad Jontay Porterwas for the NBA, and it clicked
to me that this is the perfectscenario for the NBA because they get to
go heavy handed. They the NBA'sPete Rose is a guy who doesn't matter,

(27:30):
Like, like, can you imaginelike if if if Major League Baseball
can go back in time and puta lifetime gambling band on Bill Smith,
the backup left fielder for the Reds, instead of the hit king Pete Rose.
How much would they love? Hey, we'll do it. It happened
to Bill Smith, Hey we'll doit. It happened to Porter whatever hell's

(27:56):
name is, the guy who scorestwo points a game, got him like,
you know, you get to takeout the trash with trash. I
love it now. I wonder howbadly did baseball want Rose to coach manage
in a disguise the Bobby Valentine mustacheand glasses and hat. No, no,
no, that's not Pete Rose.That's Pedro Blanco. I was gonna

(28:21):
go a flower you want with acolor that probably says something about someone is
analyzing us right now. I thinkthat was Pete Black and not Pete Rose.
I think white is okay. What'srose in Spanish? As a botch
of that Joe Rose Rose, Ithink I think nomin judas Rosa. It's

(28:41):
nomin judas what it is there?It is all right? I got that
one playing playing games tonight. TheNBA going going strong, getting ready next

(32:00):
for a picture. Joe Lynch weretalking to you. Thank you for representing
Fox Sports proudly. Yes have youseen this the I'm starting to really really
hope you're wrong about Jade and Danielslike like not just for my usual I
enjoy when you're wrong kind of way. So the commanders like met with everybody,

(32:23):
like if you've ever thrown a football, you were invited to quarterback camp.
We love it. We love this. By the speed dating the Bachelor,
all the prospects in like a fortyeight hour window. Come on in,
come on out, come on in, come on out, come on
in. I mean, why wouldn'tyou You're probably not getting Caleb Williams,
but everybody else is available to you. Interview them all, talk to them
all, see what the hell bringsome wide receivers in, just you know,

(32:45):
make sure see what you gotta do. So apparently though this whole,
that whole situation may have rubbed JadenDaniels the wrong way. Ooh. Adam
Schefter is reporting as well as uhother insiders, it feels like Jadeen Daniels
has interest in being other places.A lot of people saying he did not

(33:08):
care for the way he was handledwith Washington, so he doesn't want to
play for Washington. And the reportsare he really really really wants to reunite
with a former head well a headcoach who used to be the former assistant
head coach. I think it was. Was he ever his head coach Antonio
Pierce. Uh. I hate todo this, but he was technically his

(33:30):
head coach because Herm Edwards wanted thetitle of CEO of the football program.
So I know that's really nid picking. Her Edwards didn't want to be called
the head coach. Oh my god, that's great. So he's no longer
there. I wonder how that workrevolutionized football? Yeah? Yeah, how
did you worry about not illegally recruiting. No so so. Jane Daniels allegedly

(33:53):
has a very solid interest in theRaiders. The Raiders allegedly have a solid
interest in Jane Daniels. Jade Danielsno longer has a solid interest in the
Commanders. It would be a verybig jump for the Raiders to get up
to two to take Jaden Daniels.But if he if he's stinky enough and
doesn't and just holds his breath andstops his feet, maybe I only have

(34:16):
to get to three. Four.It's gonna sound like I'm saying a bunch
of different things and hedging what I'mabout to say. But yesterday I gave
you my list of top four quarterbacksthat I like, and I'll give it
one more time. Caleb Williams atone, Bo Nix at two, Michael
Pennis at three, Drake May atfour. So I don't have as much
belief in Jayden Daniels as others andJJ McCarthy as others, as much as

(34:37):
I don't like him as a quarterbackbecause the hype is too much. He
could be fine. He had goodgames against bad teams. Here's why am
team Daniels on this story. DoI believe that maybe he didn't like it,
that maybe he's the consensus number twopick and now he's got to sing

(34:58):
for and he's got an audition forthe role he's got to sing for his
supper. Probably didn't like it.However, let's just say the number is
twenty. Right, there's nineteen othercontenders. Wouldn't it be in the best
interest of the nineteen other agents,nineteen other representatives to leak that story to
schefter? Hey, I heard Danielshated it. You gotta think about Drake

(35:22):
May J J. McCarty. No, it's in the best interest of everybody
else to take a shot at it. It's almost like the incumbent politician.
It's that person supposed to win.If we all gang together and take shots
at him, we can win insteadof him. Am I thinking too evil
on a Friday? That maybe peopleare intentionally leaking that sort of help their

(35:42):
own clients. I don't think youare outside of the rum of possibility.
But I think Jayden Daniels' agent isleaking this story so that his client doesn't
go to Washington Like I just don'tthink they want to go to Washington,
don't think they have any interest init. Historically terrible franchise, sure,
new ownership, great, whatever,and that not all time. Calm down,

(36:06):
HTTR people each calm down over there. Of the last twenty five years
at the quarterback position, they've struggled. But since Daniel Snyder's got a whole
of that thing, it's been amess, right And there's there's nothing you
can see right now that tells youit's not a mess. So if you
do have any kind of control onwhere you go, which you don't,
it's a draft, it's not ayou know, it's not a mother may
I. It's you know, yougo where you're told. But you you

(36:29):
know, if you can influence ita little bit. And he really really
does want to play for the Raidersthe way that we're being told, and
the Raiders really do want him.Start making it uncomfortable and see if the
price tag comes down, because againthe Raiders have to go from thirteen to
two in a year like this withthese kind of these kind of quarterbacks out
there, it's going to be expensive. Like we're talking with at least three

(36:52):
ones, maybe two two's and someother stuff to be done. Have I
can I interest you in a nicegardner Minshew. So there's a lot to
it, but if you make itclear that you don't want to be there,
the price tag might come down alittle bit. What Washington could do.
And whoever is the pick, whetherit's not Daniels, whether it's may

(37:14):
Nicks, Pennix, neighbors, whoeveris the pick, McCarthy, thank you.
Let's say they get it right.Let's say the Washington commanders. However
you viewed success getting it right,whatever your view is of that term,
I'm using this could be how everyteam does it for the rest of time.
Lewis Ridick, I believe, hadthis take on Twitter, so I'm
gonna give him props for it.And you and I think are to feel

(37:36):
the same way about Lewis Ridick.Why did Chicago do this? Like everyone
said you, I think you broughtthis up yesterday. You're like everyone thinks
it's a slam dunk for Caleb Williams, he should be the top pick,
and you're not a fan of CalebWilliams. But why did Chicago do this
first and be like, hey,I get we all want Caleb Williams.
We got the number one pick,everyone's doing what we do after us,
let's do the Bachelor. Why don'twe bring it all twenty guys, we

(37:59):
pay who we want? Washington?You want to do it next, great
New England. What we are setin how this goes? Not Washington?
So is that The problem though,is that they didn't do it individually because
tech usually you like, all right, So guys, we're thinking about drafting.
You want you come on in.We don't usually go, hey,
guys, we're pretty sure we're draftingyour position. So you and twelve other

(38:21):
dudes are invited to come work out. Well, let's let's do it like
this, right, Let's do interviewingfor jobs you work with coach ware coach
wars having tryouts for players on theteam. But when they have the tryout,
other players are there. Like youjust went through this, Other guys
are trying out to be on theAlbany Firebirds. I brought up the acting
thing. A lot of actors oractresses will tell the story that then they
go for an audition, they'll knowthe other actors or actresses in the room

(38:42):
because they look like them, andthey all try out for the same role.
They're all in the same room.Trying out for the same role.
But if we interviewed for like amedia job or a radio job or maybe
even sales, rarely are those peoplein the room. And maybe that's what
you're talking about here, loaveack Ward. It's like, I see competition.
But if Jayden Daniels is really thatrubbed the wrong way about competition, double

(39:04):
red flags because I get you werethe man at LSU and the transfer portal.
I get you started as a truefreshman. That's rare now in college.
He started as a true freshman atArizona State. So you were the
man at Arizona State, you werethe man at LSU, you just won
the Heisman Trophy, and now you'reseeing competition for the first time in about
seven years. I'm not even chokingwith that. It's a long it feels

(39:27):
like he's been in high school.I don't know what your competition was in
high school. Double red flags aregrowing in the area. If this is
true, well, and you knowyou see like casting calls, like you
see it like her movies and stuffkind of what you're talking about with Like,
have I ever I've definitely been partof an interview chain where it's like,
hey, we're all going for thesame thing. You're next, you

(39:50):
know what I mean. But butI wasn't. I wasn't the Heisman winner.
I guess if I'm Washington, thenI hear all this right. I
downgrade him a little bit because yousure, you're very You're very special,
you're very pretty. We like youvery much, We would very much like
to make you our next quarterback,all these things whatever, But you ain't

(40:13):
done nothing yet, like you're youhigh school college, Like you said,
no competition. He's been the manfor a long time. The NFL is
full of dudes that were the mancoming in and we're out quick because they
weren't the man when they got there. So like you got to earn it.
Like I the second you tell methat you're too good to interview with

(40:34):
a bunch of different people, Iprobably look at you and go, maybe
you're too good to be in Washington. Maybe just maybe we need to look
at Drake may or or you know, or or if Michael Pennix Junior blows
their mind. Okay, now wecan trade back because we know we can
get Pennick Junior top ten, maybethe fifteen twenty. We know we can
get him later, So why don'twe trade back now? If if sorry

(41:00):
for this and if you want tocan't swait, finally get on with it.
If Princess Daniels is too good to, you know, to come in
and interview with other peasants, thenmaybe we need to move on to somebody
else. You went with the princesscomparison. I was gonna drop the cliche
ignorance is bliss that he's lived sucha life where I wonder Vince Young,

(41:20):
Vince Young is the one I'm gonnause here. Vince Young was the number
one high school quarterback in the country, the number one player in the country.
He signed for Texas. He wasthe man at Texas. He got
to the Titans, and the storiesabout him and the Titans is that he
mentally couldn't get it. Not theplays, but like, what do you
mean there's someone else who could playahead of me? What do you mean
I did a play wrong? Whatdo you mean I have to call plays?

(41:43):
But don't I just do it?Why don't I just run for a
touchdown? Let me do me likehe just could? So I wonder if
in video game fans remember this,there was a level for players at the
video games. That was the awarenesslevel. I really wonder and thinking of
the story, I really over almostten minutes call this conversation. I thought
it was the classic draft agent leak. Now I'm starting to wonder about Jaden

(42:04):
Daniels here, and they're like,maybe his awareness level is that he doesn't
get what his teammates got. Andwhat I mean by that is like,
hey, every year they're bringing indifferent recruits. Somebody's gonna be recruited as
a defensive end, somebody's gonna recruitas a wide receiver. And I personally
I experienced this like as a Dthree kid, Like I used to host
players who are gonna go to myposition, So I like was very aware,

(42:25):
like, yeah, this is howcollege football works. I'm not special.
Of course they're gonna bring another recruitsto replace me. Jade and Daniels
may have never gone through that.He was the man at Arizona State,
Herm Edwards Antonio Pierce wanted him tobe the future. Then when he hit
the portal, they probably threw abag at him for nil money and said,
hey, you're gonna be the guy. We're not gonna let you sit
on the bench if you're making aton of money. His awareness level.

(42:47):
Man, you know what Washington Igot twisted in about eight minutes here,
don't take them. Take Drake maytake take somebody else. Take take Bonnicks,
Take Panics who actually both of themto transfer. Boenix has had seven
offensive coordinators in seven years. Gotake my bowie bo. Well, and
now let's say, okay, letlet's see everything aligns perfectly for for Daniels

(43:09):
again in his life. Right,you just laid out all the great things
that have happened to him, andbecause he's a talented player, it's not
it's not like it's completely unwarranted.But he wants to go to Vegas,
right, he wants to go playfor his old coach. Okay, I
get that. What happens when itall works out, You get there and
they go, hey, by theway, meet ay O'Connell. You're fighting

(43:29):
him for your starting position if you'renot ready. He's taking it because he's
done nothing but impress us as aguy who was a later pick who you
know, probably probably shouldn't have beenstarting anyway, and then went out there
and helped us win games. Howeverwe asked him to do it, and
that seven Sac game against San Diegoor el or whatever you wanna call him

(43:51):
this year. That's not his fault. That was the offensive line was was
you know, doing a block?Yeah so yeah, right, you think
he's okay, Yeah, all right, you can take another hit. Let's
get out of the way again.It's that's gonna be interesting because I'm here,
coach, I'm ready to go.No you're not. Let's see,

(44:14):
you're an NFL defense Aiden can doit now, Gardner Minshew can do it
to a degree. I don't.I'm not thrilled about Gardner Minshee being What
do you mean? I just can'trun the ball against a bad Florida games
and Grambling State and all these otherteams I put up huge numbers against.
Yeah, I think there's gonna beI I don't know if it's because of
you that I'm poisoned on. JayeDaniels. I think it might be your

(44:36):
fault because I just I Pennix Junior. I don't there's not a quarterback in
this draft that I actually like.Like it's probably Bonnicks is the closest thing
to it, because Caleb Williams.I again, I see soft and I
hope I'm wrong. I hate sayingstuff like that. I see soft jayde
Daniels. I see a little bitof fragile. He's a little he's a

(44:58):
little frail. Let's see if fragile. Drake May, I don't know what
I see anymore. I feel likeI was. I believed in him.
He's not mobile enough, but heis he so he Okay, JJ McCarthy
right there with Drake May. Idon't. I don't know, like I
don't want to waste the top fiveor whatever I'd have to give to get
into the top five s for aguy. I don't. I don't know

(45:19):
if any of those are sitting downthere in the later half of the draft.
Okay, well out now we're talking. But Michael Pennix Jr. He's
been hurt way too much bone nicks. That dude just all he does is
show up and work. All hedoesn't show up work. So I guess
that's the closest. But in ayear where you're supposed to like love at
least twelve quarters, Spencer rather Spencer, we don't even know where he is.

(45:42):
We don't even know where he is. For our wagering friends, we
promise we will not go the secondconsecutive day in a row without giving you
plays. We dove it into thefive o'clock hour. Might have been pretty
obvious, even know verly honest withyou, it is the play of the
day thanks to Mohawk chef Ford layhere by two plays. I made it
pretty obvious week. I told youdays in advance what I was gonna do.
You can pick the day. Iwould pick all three because the payout

(46:06):
will be good enough to play itall three days. Let's go Vladimir Guerrero
Junior home run. We are bettingon dingers this weekend. Come on,
Vlad Junior, You've had a goodweek at the plate. Let's take one
over the fence. I need aVlad Guerrero Junior home run coming up this
weekend, but lock that in ifyou want to start tonight, potentially lock

(46:27):
that in with the Miami Heat moneyline wager tonight Miami Heat money line wager
plus a Vlad Guerrero Junior. Whyam I going my Ambi Heat money line
one and a half point favorite tonight? I don't like how this has been
set up. I don't like thatthe reporting has been Jimmy Butler's gonna be
out for weeks when the season couldend tonight for the Heat, people are
already saying the bulls are trash.I don't like it. Conspiracy, more

(46:51):
conspiracy, NBA goss bets. Sogive me the Heat money line. Tonight
in Vlad Guerrero Junior a home runin their series against the Padre. A
little West Coast air tonight, uhplay in Parlay on those same Heat money
line. I'm with you. Iagree there's something ain't right there. I
think they will play fine and thengive me the I'm putting together with the

(47:13):
Pelicans. I think the Pelicans andthe Heat advance in their eight seeds.
An injury play in Parlay. Nois Zion, No Jimmy Butler, No,
