Knits suck. Okay, well right now, right now, because I'm
always about the next generation of people coming up, and
who's gonna do they are like twenty one twenty two
year old kids right now, listen to the show going. Man,
this is a big show. It's on nationally. It's on
more five hundred stations from coast to coast, which is
(01:27):
like an unheard of number for a big deal. Yeah yeah,
but not on in New York. And they're sitting there
and they're going and the guy who is who is
the heartbeat of the show that is at the nerve
ventrical system thinks the Knicks are the knits. Okay, alright?
That that well, but I mean that's the level of respect.
He's gay. He knows damn well what they are. He's
(01:47):
a bright man. Do you think tyshit just saw something
about Syracuse in the n I t and he's just
missing it up. Could be been a lot of talk about,
you know, all those secondary tournaments because of the scoring
record and all of those things going on. Right so,
and maybe you know, he's been thinking of nice barbs
(02:10):
for your Syracuse Orange and maybe he wrote those down
and now he's having fun with your knicks. Then, not
not the knits, the knicks. Well, I said knicks, because
I'm not stealing his bit. I mean he said that's
n suck, and nitz do suck. They're light's eggs. I
know exactly those That's what I was saying. Listen, listen,
(02:33):
not that, because because off the top of my head,
I will tell you that that you know, nitz are
light's eggs that are laid by the adult female headlouse
at the base of the hair shaft nearest the scalp. Uh.
They're firmly attached to the hair shaft, oval shaped, very small,
about the size of a knot and thread, and they're
pretty hard to see. That's the fact of my head.
You know, you really did that, and you emphasized a
couple of the words specifically. That's so we're just gonna
(02:56):
let that go that I didn't know. I didn't see
that off the official Sea DC website. No, no no, no,
I knew that top of my head. And oh, by
the way, hey shout out CDC that we can talk
about them in a fun way. And it's not. Well,
the CDC has ruined everything during the zombie Apocalypse, right,
so we got to get to the CDs. How do
they not have a cure of the zombies the CDC.
Every time to get to the CDC, CDC prec turns
(03:17):
sign and says, hey, man, we're just we got bit
by the Lakers. Zombies too. The Lakers are back, We're closed,
We're closed. Don't come here. One point lead, two minutes,
we're hitting in the first quarter, Lakers. Let's get to
the CDC. That's where everybody goes in the zombie Apocalypse,
the CDC. What let's go to the mountains because let's
(03:37):
just let's just be there. Why am I going to
the CDC? Why am I doing that? The mountains right now?
It's traffic. I did see some cool videos about the
mountains and and our guy Tim Conway Junior talking about
the rainfall and and what it's done to where you
really don't have a drought in California anyway. About Jason said,
there's too much traffic, zero traffic rain for like fourteen days.
(04:01):
And yeah, guy over at y U K I so
you got that going for you too. So yeah, a
lot lots going on, a lot of sports, a lot
of knowledge being passed around. I mean we are we
are a show that leaves no stone unturned. Man, we
are getting after Heah, some guy hit a big lucky shot.
I did. Yeah, speaking of what I got going for me,
(04:22):
let's hear that Julius Randall final call of that three. Wait,
wait a minute, Wait, we don't have it. How do
we It's the biggest play trip, biggest play in the
history of sports. How do we not have it? That
didn't happen in the Laker game? Oh? How do we not? Oh?
We got it, we got it. Wait, I'll just have
to do it for everybody. Here. You set it up right. Here,
(04:44):
I'll say here, you just didn't set up right. Julius
Randall was falling all over himself. Here's here's here's the
correct final call of the Knicks game. All right, here
we go. This. This is what it would be if
I was calling it. Knicks down too with the ball.
This has to be Jalen Brunson. He's the best player
in the league. He needs to be able to make
the shot. Look at this, there's three defenders. They're not
(05:04):
letting him by. He's gonna pass the ball to Julius Randall.
This is not gonna end well, because Julius Randall can
hit shots. In the final minute of agad. They just
he just lost it near mid court. This is not
gonna end. He just lost the ball again. It almost
went out of bounce. What the hell? Oh he made it? Oh,
Julius Randall. Julius Randall, you forgot one main thing, Jason Bombs.
(05:27):
The travel Uh not a travel wasn't called a number
and number two. It wasn't. Just because you say things
like that doesn't mean like, oh, it was a missed call.
All right. People are thinking, oh, it's like the super
Bowl and they grabbed was Mike Julius Randy was No,
there was no travel. Have you seen the highlight there's it. Yes,
I've seen it. I've seen it like five thousand times
(05:48):
that I keep watching. I can't not watch it. Julius
Randall travel, I'm looking. No one's saying about talking. No. No.
The last time Julius Randall travel is trending is from
March of twenty twenty one. No wait a minute, from
thirty four minutes ago. Nick's MSG N Julius Randall is clutch.
(06:13):
Here you go, buddy. Although I will say this the
second thing that if you google Julius Randall travel, the
second thing that comes up to someone who said players
with the most travel since January first, Julius Randall is third.
There is Westbrook for travel. Well that's good. But since
the All Star Game, as we talked about last hour
(06:34):
twenty eight for fifty seven from bad after his kid
my needed that, Hey, maybe his kid is the real MVP.
Well like Draymond kid was last year. Now we have
the transference to Julius Randall's kid that teammate at at
his game right, because that was making the rounds last week.
(06:55):
And Julius Randall travels and I can ship ball Louis
Randol get sit back three seconds straight away for three,
don't sit down right on the quarter tight to seven Ago?
Wait are you up? The next game? Jason ran the
Knicks half believe? What's twenty two? I'm twenty seen in Miami,
(07:18):
so let us rado Let's just fly a broken play
and the next sleep by two with poy seven Ago, Jason,
what are you doing there? That's me? I was the
analyst on that call. I was, yet he was getting
pretty close to Caesar Romero's joker. What do you have
for us? I got nothing, but WHOA, I got nothing?
But who who knew? Rick Flair was up on the call?
(07:41):
Ronnie Jo out of the old Cubs guy. Clearly t J.
Julius Randall has the rolls Royce's baby, He's got him,
and there it is with a three. I mean that
now that you don't get that kind of basketball analysis
just anywhere. I mean that is you could talk about
Tony Jim Jim Chip and just see that plate. I
mean you get talk but that, but just you know,
(08:02):
the analysts just going whoa. I mean for like thirty seconds.
I'm now going to next year, next football season, every fumble,
recovery or interception by the mayor's defense, we will have
the radio call p Yeah, sometimes that's the best call.
Play it again. I mean really that that's the kind
(08:22):
of analysis that is sorely lacking, and we can only
play it again if you set it up right. Though.
Let's say, Okay, Nicks with the ball, they're down to
I don't know how they're gonna give the ball to
Julius Randall, but they gotta get it to him here
at the end, maybe for some kind of off balance
three tom more than an Indian play here and then
(08:43):
Changes gets hit the ball it's alive. They got up
with the travel. But there's also things never said before
by Smith. Can't get the ball to Randall in the
final minute when end, and he just set it up
like you gotta get them. Yeah, no, no, you've got to.
I will admit my take of that of a week
and a half ago did not age. Well, it did not.
(09:04):
But that's okay. I'm okay with it. Because Cold takes here.
It is the Knicks down by two again with time
running out. Listen to the expert color analyst being able
to tell you exactly what's going on with the game,
Tom more than an indianapolish people out enough of us
play here and then man Changes gets hit. The ball
(09:24):
is loose and it's a lie. Yeah, now just set
it up correctly. Now what do you mean set it
up correctly? What the hell are you talking about? I'll
help you out what Julius Rynold travels and this is
what happened. Randall gets fumbled five seconds, ship ball loose,
Randall get shot back three seconds straight away for three.
Yn't sit down right on the quarter with play seven
(09:47):
ago and the Knicks half the league's twenty two ON'T
twenty seen in Miami show let Us Rando, Let's fight
a broken play? And the next sleep by two Can
You Travel without Legs? Lieutenant Diane? People are like, what
(10:09):
the hell is that? We gotta listen to the Who show? Yeah,
this a little show, but you don't get you don't
get an analysis like that just anywhere. Man. I mean,
that's special stuff that specially encapsulates the moment in the
grandest way possible. Look at that, Julius Randall. Now outside
of that, look that is clearly that's the big highlight
of that. We the Lakers playing the nineteenth biggest game
in the history of sports is going on right now?
(10:30):
Are Julius Randalls three? And I hate to say I
told you so, but I really don't. When the Sun's
got KD I told you watch how fast he's going
to assimilate. Here the promo here on Fox Sports Radio
all the time, and they're gonna start blowing teams out
by big time double digits in every game. And they
won their first game last night by fourteen. And I said,
(10:51):
we're gonna get to a point where the Sun's winning
by fourteen's gonna seem like a close game, playing the
second night of back to backs. Yes, the Bulls aren't great.
The Sun's going to Chicago and win by twenty one one,
twenty five, one oh four. KD with twenty and nine
and six and Devin Booker were thirty five to lead
the way for the Suns. This is kind of how
it's going to go. KD just needs to be Kadie
(11:14):
doesn't have to lead, doesn't have to be anything more
than I'm a really terrific player that's gonna get all
the credit when we win because you needed to add
me to win. So mentally, I'm in a good place.
And he's going to open up the floor as he
already has been for Devin Booker, who's had two incredibly
hot shooting nights in a row, shooting over fifty percent
from the floor in both games. Durant does everything for
(11:36):
this team, and you're gonna see Feena. I'm telling you.
They won their first game by fourteen, this game by
twenty one, next game by twenty eight, tens me thirty
five forty two. You see how the progressions I mean,
you watch this happen most football seasons. Yeah, that's how
it got to win back pretty sack. In a couple
of weeks, we're winning games by eighty eighty four, ninety one,
ninety eight. This is gonna be a nightly drubbing of
(11:57):
the Suns by their opponents because we have seeing Katie
joined teams before and see the result be immediate. Even
though the few times he was on the floor with
Kyrie Irving, they wound up beating the crap out of
teams and beating him by big time double digits. That's
what's going to happen right now. Make room for the
Suns at the top of the NBA, and for the
rest of the season, one of the top three storylines
(12:18):
every single night is going to be will the Suns lose?
How do you slow the Sun's down? Can you slow
the Suns down? Are they the best team in the NBA? Now?
I know the Bucks have won seventy five games in
a row. Are they better? Who's better the Suns of
the Knicks. That'll be a huge debate, But that's where
we're at right now, because I'm telling you every night
is going to be like this for Katie and the
Sun's gonna be fun. I mean, they've got one of
(12:39):
the toughest schedules remaining on the board, so they will
be tested. Tonight was not one of those nights. But
it's a good ramp up to yeah, no, they're not good. Well,
clearly Patrick Beverley was not really intent on keeping the
Suns out of the playoffs because he only had two
points tonight, So I mean, yeah, I don't know that
he's motivated for this game. He's way for the Lakes. Well,
(13:00):
you got those two games against the Lakers, and legitimately
those could be important game. Apps this is not this
is a seating issue. You know, we talked a little
bit about Golden State. I've been bullish all along that eventually,
you know, because it is the regular season, if Steph's
ready to play, they'll be dangerous. They go out and
(13:21):
they get a big win yesterday and you start to
hear folks rejoining the bandwagon construction, and then with the Suns,
it's just a matter of how many games together do
these guys play regular season and are they available for
the playoffs. Don't have a lot of debt, but we
know that that shrinks at once playoff rotations are set,
(13:43):
so that's not as huge an issue once we get there. Again,
assuming those four guys are available to play Twitter at
how about a fresca? Mike gets swollen down The Jason

But straight ahead, we are now getting big time drama
out of the NFL. Combine a special guest stopping by

But Bryce Young is not tall, Stetson Bennett has issues.
C J. Strout is the best. Well Levis can't wait
(15:12):
to show off his canon of an arm and oh,
by the way, everybody's still waiting for Aaron Rodgers to
make his decision joining us now on the hotline. He
is a longtime NFL inside to check out his latest
on out Kick. You can follow him on Twitter at
Jason Cole sixty two studs. All right. He is also
a long time Hall of Very Good voter. Jake Hole.
(15:34):
What's happening, Buddy Levey's beautiful? What's going on? Guys? Tell
him good evening? Talking nothing. He's blowing by the Hall
of Very Good thing because you're gonna have to own
that for a while. Just keep his pleasant, Okay, I
mean I didn't put up a really cool picture of
Zach Thomas earlier that was really cool. I mean he
is a two Hall of Tame. Okay, and he was
(15:58):
in a Cowboys that was Look, I understand that to
let in a guy that that was a Hall of Famer,
you gotta let it like five guys were not Hall
of famers, hall of very good. There you go. Yeah,
but I like that now that he's going into the
Hall of Fame, he's a chirping about quarterbacks and what
should shouldn't be done. I don't think we ever really
(16:19):
heard him talk about what the management should do. Now
he's like, hey, I'm jesty, I'm GM. Now I'm taking over, baby,
he is, this is taking over the Yankees, and I
could be making trades, Cherry, I could be making trades.
This is why the Yankees haven't won in twenty five years.
(16:41):
I'm gonna feel like this is how it goes. Rogers
get me, Carson went Yes, you know, I wants he
wants a tough guy who's trying to overcome things that
that's that's why, that's that's why defensive lineman not good GMS. No,
But but what about it this? But what if this happens?
I just think about this for a second. At the combine,
(17:03):
Carson Wentz tries to do an Eli Manning Chad Powers
and convince people he's coming out of the draft, and
he puts on a disguise and he throws for James
as a fifth round pick. A person like Carson, our
seven quarterback, just says, I'll go back in. He said,
like Derek Carr goes back in. They're like, yeah, third
(17:27):
round tops, man, really, third round tops. Listen, you're a
Day three guy. But you never know, right, you never
know a quarterbacks position of need for a lot of teams,
you never know. I remember when Maurice Coirette we call it,
when when he went to the combine failed to do
the bench press. I was like, day he's a Day
four guy. And when he when he didn't he run that?
(17:48):
Didn't he run the forty yard dash in like nine
seconds or something insane like that? He had at times
nine five or something like that. He like actually rich
rich eyes and beat him on the forties. I remember that.
I remember the early gifts of that of like photoshop
of of of a guy like in his walker, like
passing him like at he running like like through there,
(18:11):
oh man, hey, when it's the third a mile with
Garrett Blunt, Like Garrett Blunt ran that like five point
one seconds a running back, which tells you, like how
meaningless it is because he actually had a really kind
of decent career. Back looked like he was carrying an
Ellison on his back. Hey, so apparently people are just
(18:35):
finding out Bryce Young is not tall. I mean, I
don't know. I made my big pretty much is. People
are just finding that out right now and entirely it
might be a big deal. He's skinny. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
like he's not a big man. You didn't see all
those six foot five offensive linemen in the surrounding him
(18:55):
as he looked like he was five foot eight in
the huddle. Um. Yeah, but he has all those pads. One,
I feel like that would be what Henry Winkler for
a Russell Development would say, it's kind of hard. The
guys have all the pads. I've got. I've got pads.
I've got pads. I really I got pads. I can
bulk up. I won't wear the Joey boasts a little
(19:16):
baby shoulder pads. I'll put like big time shoulder pads on. Yeah.
It looks like those the Pop Warner kids. When I
first put on pads. Just get a full Yeah, I look,
this is a real deal. This is a real thing,
and people need to understand it's a real thing because
(19:39):
you have to be able to take hits in this
league and this so this matters. And it's not the height,
it's the it's your your body strength. Because it's like
Russell Wilson's not very big guy, but he's you know,
he's a well built guy, which is why he's last
year is long now last season aside for Russell Wilson,
he obviously had a terrific first nine years through his career,
(20:01):
right and part of that that was, you know, he's
a strong guy. Drew Brees. If you've ever stood next
to Drew Brees, he's not He's a muscular, well built guy,
but pretty put together, which he had to become in
his career after the shoulder injuries. But people worry about
like Ta Tacka looks like mister Universe next to Bryce Young,
(20:26):
right like, and Tua gets ragdalled on a regular basis.
So Bryce Young has some real work ahead of him
to make sure he puts on some proper weight. Now,
there have been guys who are skinning quarterbacks. Jared Goff
is you know, not the biggest guy in the world.
Joe Montana was not a particularly big guy. But you know, ay,
(20:46):
Jared Goff is not exactly mister I'm going to hold
the ball and take a shot here. You know, that's
one of one of his biggest problems is he don't
like to get hit right. He plays tackle football for living.
I don't want to get in right. And you're like,
no quarterback likes to get hit. But there are some
guys who are Phil Sims. And then there's the other
end of the spectrum, and that would be Jared gosh right,
(21:09):
and so like that's a problem. And then you know,
Joe Montana was not a very big guy, and he
got rag dolls a lot in his career. And there's
a reason why he's missed a lot of tears of
his career, like he missed I think, if you put
it together, like four full seasons of action overall in
(21:31):
his career because of all the injuries that he suffered.
So as great as he was, even he had his problems.
I mean, Kurt Warner as tough to guy as there's
ever been. This guys missed a lot of time. So yes,
this is a real concern with Bryce yea. And the
question is not so much what does he weigh today? Okay,
it's it's obviously concern, but can he put on weight?
(21:55):
Can he gets strong enough? And I think, unfortunately an
answer is probably. Know that if you take this guy,
you're gonna have to live with the fact that he's
gonna struggle to get to two hundred pounds or you know,
two hundred and five pounds, and you're gonna have to
find a way to really protect him and have a
great line which you have to take into consideration when
(22:15):
you're building a team around him. So how desperate to
teams get at the top? You know, he's the head. No, no,
he goes he goes first, but then the other three
three guys, I mean how quickly they come off. I
don't know if he goes first. Yeah, I don't know
about you. A Richardson guy. Now, because Jason Smith Adams
(22:38):
the Cole, is gonna be the guy to say if
Geordan Love was coming out of this draft, he'd be
the number one overall pick um well, based on the
fact that Jordan was actually played. Yeah, probably, but um no,
I mean what I would say is, if all things
are equal, you take the bigger guy. Now, Anthony Richardson
(23:00):
is the extreme the other direction, because like where Bryce
Young played in a in a pro style offense at
Alabama and had a lot of throws the last couple
of years, right, and played in a similar kind of
offense in high school and through the ball, you know,
a couple of thousand times basically, you know, in all
(23:22):
those drills, Anthony Richardson hasn't even thrown four hundred passes
since the beginning of his senior year. And I so
it's a Trey Land situation. No, no, no, I have
an exact match. No, no, no no, I have the exact
match for this. Anthony Richardson should go to the Cowboys
(23:43):
because Mike McCarthy doesn't want to throw the football, so
they would be perfect. He doesn't have to throw the football.
He's it's a bray. It's a match made in Heaven,
right there, Anthony Richardson. I think Anthony Richardson's best off
going to the Jets. Can you really say anybody is
best off going to the Jets? I mean, really, is
that a real sentence? No? Okay, we tried to make
(24:06):
that happen. I appreciate, like I was thinking about some
snarky remark in a response. But no, I can't justify
saying to anyone that they should go to the Jets.
That's just, that's just it's not a healthy thing for
any player. No, because I know if if the Packers
come to Aaron Rodgers, who I want to continue my career?
(24:26):
You're sure, yes I do? Okay, So what is it, Well,
it's the Jets or nobody, Well, get my retirement papers ready,
I'm walking away. I've done the Jets or nobody if
it's ready. If it's the Jets or nobody, He'll choose nobody,
because that's how it goes for the Jets now. Jake Cole, Yeah,
we've always had the Ravens as one of those exemplary
(24:49):
kind of organizations. But it seems like the building's burning
right now. A lot a lot of insight margin. Well, look,
i mean they you know, we've been talking about this
for what the last year, Like if they wanted to
sign them, they would have signed him, right. Oh, I'm
talking about the whole thing between that the players survey,
(25:11):
the wide receiver fight with Dakasta. It's really uh quickly yeah,
But I mean, look, the other stuff is small potatoes
when your quarterback, when you don't know if you have
a quarterback or not, that's a much more essential problem.
And but how many teams, how many teams really took
it on the chin and that that survey. I mean
(25:33):
there's there's what a dozen teams that just got hammered
in that survey, basically a third of the league. And
they deserve it, right, like Arizona Cardinals. Like charging for meals? Really,
is that worse than the rats? That's like in that's
like in college when you go in for your meal,
I'm sorry, your your meals are up for the week.
You can't you can't get a meal here? You can
(25:54):
all have to pay for it? Oh man, I mean
I mean the Wells, Bidwell's gonna bid Well. I'm just
gonna say that that's what they got, you know, like
Charlie's been dead for a long time. Build Bidwell's you know,
been dead for a while here. But Michael Bidwell, Yeah,
let's charge the players for food. We want them to
(26:16):
eat well, but let's charge them for their meals when
they come in. I like the ruin where the weight
rooms not you know, you know, like the day that
you're supposed to work out the weight rooms locked part
of the day and then oh, come on, man, like
teams just don't get it, Like they just don't get it.
You want your guys to train in your facility, don't
(26:36):
give them reasons not to train, Like here's the one
they like, Oh, you've got to show up for all
these offseason programs, but I can't give you a ham sandwich.
I really need you to train. I need you to
show up all the time. Oh no tuna for you, No, no, no,
(26:58):
no vitamins in Cincinnati, right, these are professional athletes, you
morov what doing? You see them in peak cynical condition
and you want to keep track of them, but you
find reasons to drive them away. You guys are idiots.
(27:21):
You're chest idiots over stuff that is nickel, the most
nickel and dime crap of all time, like the ham sandwich. Yeah,
I'm you know, like, oh, we can't have a guy
come in to you know, make up some hot food
or something like for that. No, we can't afford the
couple one hundred bucks a day it might cost to actually,
you know, have the cafeteria working. That was my favorite one.
(27:44):
Forget about the rats in the in the Hamper and
Jacksonville because you just bring in the cocaine bear to
take care of that. My favorite was the Bengals. Their
cafeteria is not open for dinner. Wait, so like, hey,
I'm still hungry. Nope, no, no, we said, everybody home.
We're not paying anybody more than eight hours. We're done.
You're going, well yeah, and here and and by the way,
if you've ever been to like you know, like their
(28:06):
train facility is in downtown Cincinnati, right, Like the closest
food to that is like Skyline Chili, which is just
direct Like that's that's awful. Yeah, I mean Skyline Chili.
Come on, just stop just u but um, like, like
(28:27):
there's not like food, easy access food. So now you're
your coaching staff can't even have dinner. Like you're expecting
those guys to eat late to stay late in the work,
but we can't get them any food either. It's just
mind boggling the kind of stupid stuff that teams do,
um where they just don't take care of the people
(28:48):
who are supposed to take care of And I mean Washington,
I mean the Washington story about ESPN this week was
it was a classic but the fact that They've like that.
The fact that Dan Snyder's paying himself four and a
half million dollars a year to put the Washington logo
on his private jet and call that advertising is one
(29:12):
of the greatest things ever because like that money actually
doesn't go to the Saffary cap as a result of that.
It's just classic. All the stuff that they call. Follow
them on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. That is,
at Jason Cole sixty two. He's the guy saying ikey, Icky, ikey.
Jordan loves Zoezy Skyline. My review of Skyline Chili coming
(29:42):
up next. Do you like the Larry King of sports
and ling the Cincinnati audience very quickly? Yeah, yeah, No,
they'll never give you dinner in Cincinnati again. That's okay,
I'm never going Buddy Bike oh Man, there goes Jesus. One.

I have a babe live drop Friday. I have a
big Bowl prediction for you coming out of the biggest
drama filled part of the combine today. You're ready. So
we found out a bunch of different things today. The
(30:47):
quarterbacks all spoke today. A lot of players spoke today
the combine. Bryce Young, addressing his size, I've always been
this size. C J. Strout says I can run the football.
I just didn't get a chance to do it a
lot in college. But the bas don't take me. That's
justin fields team you had. Will Levis saying I can't
wait to show off Mike Cannon. I'm throwing it the
combine so I can do it. First things first. With Levis,
(31:11):
I think it's a great decision because if nobody else
is doing it, and you're going to do it, as
long as you have a big arm, that's gonna help you.
Like if everybody else was throwing it was that, but
you have a chance to be the one person throwing
at the top of the draft where you could maybe
move up to maybe where you're a toss up with c. J. Strout,
you're going even higher in the draft. I think it's
a great move for Levis. But Stetson Bennett, two time
(31:34):
national champion winning quarterback at Georgia, spoke today and addressed
the off the field issues that he's had since Georgia
won their second straight championship. Had a lot of criticism
on social media for hey, you're on your phone during
the parade, and then he had the big issue where
he was knocking on people's doors and you know, when
you know, it's kind of shouldn't have been doing that,
(31:55):
a pretty big, high profile incident, and he apologized today.
He said, listen, when you're last name, I'm Stetson Bennet
the fourth. When your last name is Bennett, you can't
do stuff like that. And the first thing I have
to say is my piece of advice for him is
that he's learning right now that the knuckle headed stuff
is knuckleheaded stuff because being on your phone at the parade,
(32:17):
what does it matter? What do you care if people
are upset that you're on your phone, don't look at
I guess say, dude, you're twenty five years old. Man.
Social media should not run your life as a quarterback.
Can't do it. Let people say whatever the hell they
want to about you at at the parade. What does
it matter? But he's gonna learn pretty quickly that the
knuckle headed stuff blows up and it happens, and you
(32:37):
have to be able to deal with it and not
be an elitist and not inflame things. So this is
what happens. Now you're a pretty big deal, and now
you're seeing what it's like when you do something, even
if it's pretty innocuous or if it's something that, hey,
it's a mistake I made, I won't do it again.
I'm not gonna be knocking on people's tours, drying again
in places I shouldn't be do. You have to understand
that's gonna be a big deal and you have to
(32:58):
handle it professionally, and you can't blow it off and
you can't see like you're above it, because this is
where things get really bad on you. This is going
to drag you down. That's the biggest thing he needs
to know going into the draft. Yeah, I mean bottom
line is you got you got two things working on you.
You're old, or some would say mature. Yet the biggest
question about you is not your age necessarily, it's how
(33:20):
mature are you? If you're doing that right, That's where
we're going through. As with a quarterback position. Are you
a leader? Are you? Can you keep your composure or
do you have the maturity to go and be a
leader of a team. Those are questions you have to
answer coming out of those. Whether you're on your phone
during a parade, the hell cares about a parade on
(33:43):
the grand scale? Great you had? Can I see the playlist? No?
I disagree with it. These are not great songs. So
not only did you ignore your fans, but you have
bad taste in music. No nobody cares. It's about the
other stuff and how that can change perception because you're
also still have to win over a fan base. All right,
(34:05):
you might win over the guy interview and yet yeah, okay,
nothing huge came out of it, blah blah blah. But
you have to go into a city and if you're
getting drafted early and he's not a guy that we're
talking about in the top ten, but it's still you're
expected to be above Why why do we see months
of coverage anytime a quarterback does anything out of sort?
(34:28):
It's because it comes with the position. Now, let me
throw this at you. Hit me. Doesn't he just have
Patriots written all over him? Doesn't he? Doesn't he just
have Patriots big leader one a couple of times. Yeah,
you know, the whole knocking on the door side. But
doesn't he have Patriots written all over him? Come in?
(34:48):
That guy? Is he older than mac Joe? I think
I think he's older than Belichick actually, So that is
gonna be a tough one. Coming up next, weally got
more big stuff out of the NBA and a big
hot takeout of the NFL. This is Fox Sports Radio.

Knits suck. Okay, well right now, right now, because I'm
always about the next generation of people coming up, and
who's gonna do they are like twenty one twenty two
year old kids right now, listen to the show going. Man,
this is a big show. It's on nationally. It's on
more five hundred stations from coast to coast, which is
(01:27):
like an unheard of number for a big deal. Yeah yeah,
but not on in New York. And they're sitting there
and they're going and the guy who is who is
the heartbeat of the show that is at the nerve
ventrical system thinks the Knicks are the knits. Okay, alright?
That that well, but I mean that's the level of respect.
He's gay. He knows damn well what they are. He's
(01:47):
a bright man. Do you think tyshit just saw something
about Syracuse in the n I t and he's just
missing it up. Could be been a lot of talk about,
you know, all those secondary tournaments because of the scoring
record and all of those things going on. Right so,
and maybe you know, he's been thinking of nice barbs
(02:10):
for your Syracuse Orange and maybe he wrote those down
and now he's having fun with your knicks. Then, not
not the knits, the knicks. Well, I said knicks, because
I'm not stealing his bit. I mean he said that's
n suck, and nitz do suck. They're light's eggs. I
know exactly those That's what I was saying. Listen, listen,
(02:33):
not that, because because off the top of my head,
I will tell you that that you know, nitz are
light's eggs that are laid by the adult female headlouse
at the base of the hair shaft nearest the scalp. Uh.
They're firmly attached to the hair shaft, oval shaped, very small,
about the size of a knot and thread, and they're
pretty hard to see. That's the fact of my head.
You know, you really did that, and you emphasized a
couple of the words specifically. That's so we're just gonna
(02:56):
let that go that I didn't know. I didn't see
that off the official Sea DC website. No, no no, no,
I knew that top of my head. And oh, by
the way, hey shout out CDC that we can talk
about them in a fun way. And it's not. Well,
the CDC has ruined everything during the zombie Apocalypse, right,
so we got to get to the CDs. How do
they not have a cure of the zombies the CDC.
Every time to get to the CDC, CDC prec turns
(03:17):
sign and says, hey, man, we're just we got bit
by the Lakers. Zombies too. The Lakers are back, We're closed,
We're closed. Don't come here. One point lead, two minutes,
we're hitting in the first quarter, Lakers. Let's get to
the CDC. That's where everybody goes in the zombie Apocalypse,
the CDC. What let's go to the mountains because let's
(03:37):
just let's just be there. Why am I going to
the CDC? Why am I doing that? The mountains right now?
It's traffic. I did see some cool videos about the
mountains and and our guy Tim Conway Junior talking about
the rainfall and and what it's done to where you
really don't have a drought in California anyway. About Jason said,
there's too much traffic, zero traffic rain for like fourteen days.
(04:01):
And yeah, guy over at y U K I so
you got that going for you too. So yeah, a
lot lots going on, a lot of sports, a lot
of knowledge being passed around. I mean we are we
are a show that leaves no stone unturned. Man, we
are getting after Heah, some guy hit a big lucky shot.
I did. Yeah, speaking of what I got going for me,
(04:22):
let's hear that Julius Randall final call of that three. Wait,
wait a minute, Wait, we don't have it. How do
we It's the biggest play trip, biggest play in the
history of sports. How do we not have it? That
didn't happen in the Laker game? Oh? How do we not? Oh?
We got it, we got it. Wait, I'll just have
to do it for everybody. Here. You set it up right. Here,
(04:44):
I'll say here, you just didn't set up right. Julius
Randall was falling all over himself. Here's here's here's the
correct final call of the Knicks game. All right, here
we go. This. This is what it would be if
I was calling it. Knicks down too with the ball.
This has to be Jalen Brunson. He's the best player
in the league. He needs to be able to make
the shot. Look at this, there's three defenders. They're not
(05:04):
letting him by. He's gonna pass the ball to Julius Randall.
This is not gonna end well, because Julius Randall can
hit shots. In the final minute of agad. They just
he just lost it near mid court. This is not
gonna end. He just lost the ball again. It almost
went out of bounce. What the hell? Oh he made it? Oh,
Julius Randall. Julius Randall, you forgot one main thing, Jason Bombs.
(05:27):
The travel Uh not a travel wasn't called a number
and number two. It wasn't. Just because you say things
like that doesn't mean like, oh, it was a missed call.
All right. People are thinking, oh, it's like the super
Bowl and they grabbed was Mike Julius Randy was No,
there was no travel. Have you seen the highlight there's it. Yes,
I've seen it. I've seen it like five thousand times
(05:48):
that I keep watching. I can't not watch it. Julius
Randall travel, I'm looking. No one's saying about talking. No. No.
The last time Julius Randall travel is trending is from
March of twenty twenty one. No wait a minute, from
thirty four minutes ago. Nick's MSG N Julius Randall is clutch.
(06:13):
Here you go, buddy. Although I will say this the
second thing that if you google Julius Randall travel, the
second thing that comes up to someone who said players
with the most travel since January first, Julius Randall is third.
There is Westbrook for travel. Well that's good. But since
the All Star Game, as we talked about last hour
(06:34):
twenty eight for fifty seven from bad after his kid
my needed that, Hey, maybe his kid is the real MVP.
Well like Draymond kid was last year. Now we have
the transference to Julius Randall's kid that teammate at at
his game right, because that was making the rounds last week.
(06:55):
And Julius Randall travels and I can ship ball Louis
Randol get sit back three seconds straight away for three,
don't sit down right on the quarter tight to seven Ago?
Wait are you up? The next game? Jason ran the
Knicks half believe? What's twenty two? I'm twenty seen in Miami,
(07:18):
so let us rado Let's just fly a broken play
and the next sleep by two with poy seven Ago, Jason,
what are you doing there? That's me? I was the
analyst on that call. I was, yet he was getting
pretty close to Caesar Romero's joker. What do you have
for us? I got nothing, but WHOA, I got nothing?
But who who knew? Rick Flair was up on the call?
(07:41):
Ronnie Jo out of the old Cubs guy. Clearly t J.
Julius Randall has the rolls Royce's baby, He's got him,
and there it is with a three. I mean that
now that you don't get that kind of basketball analysis
just anywhere. I mean that is you could talk about
Tony Jim Jim Chip and just see that plate. I
mean you get talk but that, but just you know,
(08:02):
the analysts just going whoa. I mean for like thirty seconds.
I'm now going to next year, next football season, every fumble,
recovery or interception by the mayor's defense, we will have
the radio call p Yeah, sometimes that's the best call.
Play it again. I mean really that that's the kind
(08:22):
of analysis that is sorely lacking, and we can only
play it again if you set it up right. Though.
Let's say, Okay, Nicks with the ball, they're down to
I don't know how they're gonna give the ball to
Julius Randall, but they gotta get it to him here
at the end, maybe for some kind of off balance
three tom more than an Indian play here and then
(08:43):
Changes gets hit the ball it's alive. They got up
with the travel. But there's also things never said before
by Smith. Can't get the ball to Randall in the
final minute when end, and he just set it up
like you gotta get them. Yeah, no, no, you've got to.
I will admit my take of that of a week
and a half ago did not age. Well, it did not.
(09:04):
But that's okay. I'm okay with it. Because Cold takes here.
It is the Knicks down by two again with time
running out. Listen to the expert color analyst being able
to tell you exactly what's going on with the game,
Tom more than an indianapolish people out enough of us
play here and then man Changes gets hit. The ball
(09:24):
is loose and it's a lie. Yeah, now just set
it up correctly. Now what do you mean set it
up correctly? What the hell are you talking about? I'll
help you out what Julius Rynold travels and this is
what happened. Randall gets fumbled five seconds, ship ball loose,
Randall get shot back three seconds straight away for three.
Yn't sit down right on the quarter with play seven
(09:47):
ago and the Knicks half the league's twenty two ON'T
twenty seen in Miami show let Us Rando, Let's fight
a broken play? And the next sleep by two Can
You Travel without Legs? Lieutenant Diane? People are like, what
(10:09):
the hell is that? We gotta listen to the Who show? Yeah,
this a little show, but you don't get you don't
get an analysis like that just anywhere. Man. I mean,
that's special stuff that specially encapsulates the moment in the
grandest way possible. Look at that, Julius Randall. Now outside
of that, look that is clearly that's the big highlight
of that. We the Lakers playing the nineteenth biggest game
in the history of sports is going on right now?
(10:30):
Are Julius Randalls three? And I hate to say I
told you so, but I really don't. When the Sun's
got KD I told you watch how fast he's going
to assimilate. Here the promo here on Fox Sports Radio
all the time, and they're gonna start blowing teams out
by big time double digits in every game. And they
won their first game last night by fourteen. And I said,
(10:51):
we're gonna get to a point where the Sun's winning
by fourteen's gonna seem like a close game, playing the
second night of back to backs. Yes, the Bulls aren't great.
The Sun's going to Chicago and win by twenty one one,
twenty five, one oh four. KD with twenty and nine
and six and Devin Booker were thirty five to lead
the way for the Suns. This is kind of how
it's going to go. KD just needs to be Kadie
(11:14):
doesn't have to lead, doesn't have to be anything more
than I'm a really terrific player that's gonna get all
the credit when we win because you needed to add
me to win. So mentally, I'm in a good place.
And he's going to open up the floor as he
already has been for Devin Booker, who's had two incredibly
hot shooting nights in a row, shooting over fifty percent
from the floor in both games. Durant does everything for
(11:36):
this team, and you're gonna see Feena. I'm telling you.
They won their first game by fourteen, this game by
twenty one, next game by twenty eight, tens me thirty
five forty two. You see how the progressions I mean,
you watch this happen most football seasons. Yeah, that's how
it got to win back pretty sack. In a couple
of weeks, we're winning games by eighty eighty four, ninety one,
ninety eight. This is gonna be a nightly drubbing of
(11:57):
the Suns by their opponents because we have seeing Katie
joined teams before and see the result be immediate. Even
though the few times he was on the floor with
Kyrie Irving, they wound up beating the crap out of
teams and beating him by big time double digits. That's
what's going to happen right now. Make room for the
Suns at the top of the NBA, and for the
rest of the season, one of the top three storylines
(12:18):
every single night is going to be will the Suns lose?
How do you slow the Sun's down? Can you slow
the Suns down? Are they the best team in the NBA? Now?
I know the Bucks have won seventy five games in
a row. Are they better? Who's better the Suns of
the Knicks. That'll be a huge debate, But that's where
we're at right now, because I'm telling you every night
is going to be like this for Katie and the
Sun's gonna be fun. I mean, they've got one of
(12:39):
the toughest schedules remaining on the board, so they will
be tested. Tonight was not one of those nights. But
it's a good ramp up to yeah, no, they're not good. Well,
clearly Patrick Beverley was not really intent on keeping the
Suns out of the playoffs because he only had two
points tonight, So I mean, yeah, I don't know that
he's motivated for this game. He's way for the Lakes. Well,
(13:00):
you got those two games against the Lakers, and legitimately
those could be important game. Apps this is not this
is a seating issue. You know, we talked a little
bit about Golden State. I've been bullish all along that eventually,
you know, because it is the regular season, if Steph's
ready to play, they'll be dangerous. They go out and
(13:21):
they get a big win yesterday and you start to
hear folks rejoining the bandwagon construction, and then with the Suns,
it's just a matter of how many games together do
these guys play regular season and are they available for
the playoffs. Don't have a lot of debt, but we
know that that shrinks at once playoff rotations are set,
(13:43):
so that's not as huge an issue once we get there. Again,
assuming those four guys are available to play Twitter at
how about a fresca? Mike gets swollen down The Jason

Keep it right here Jason and Mike on Julius Random
Night here on Fox Sports Radio. Be sure to catch
live editions of The Jason Smith Show with Mike harmon
weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven pm Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. Don't worry, we'll have

live drop Friday, Jason Smith, Mike Harman live from the
Tirerack dot Com, Julius Randall Studios. Oh yeah, I don't
know if we'll have enough time. Tell Allen, Uh, we
have more on the NBA coming up in a bit.
But Bryce Young is not tall, Stetson Bennett has issues.
C J. Strout is the best. Well Levis can't wait
(15:12):
to show off his canon of an arm and oh,
by the way, everybody's still waiting for Aaron Rodgers to
make his decision joining us now on the hotline. He
is a longtime NFL inside to check out his latest
on out Kick. You can follow him on Twitter at
Jason Cole sixty two studs. All right. He is also
a long time Hall of Very Good voter. Jake Hole.
(15:34):
What's happening, Buddy Levey's beautiful? What's going on? Guys? Tell
him good evening? Talking nothing. He's blowing by the Hall
of Very Good thing because you're gonna have to own
that for a while. Just keep his pleasant, Okay, I
mean I didn't put up a really cool picture of
Zach Thomas earlier that was really cool. I mean he
is a two Hall of Tame. Okay, and he was
(15:58):
in a Cowboys that was Look, I understand that to
let in a guy that that was a Hall of Famer,
you gotta let it like five guys were not Hall
of famers, hall of very good. There you go. Yeah,
but I like that now that he's going into the
Hall of Fame, he's a chirping about quarterbacks and what
should shouldn't be done. I don't think we ever really
(16:19):
heard him talk about what the management should do. Now
he's like, hey, I'm jesty, I'm GM. Now I'm taking over, baby,
he is, this is taking over the Yankees, and I
could be making trades, Cherry, I could be making trades.
This is why the Yankees haven't won in twenty five years.
(16:41):
I'm gonna feel like this is how it goes. Rogers
get me, Carson went Yes, you know, I wants he
wants a tough guy who's trying to overcome things that
that's that's why, that's that's why defensive lineman not good GMS. No,
But but what about it this? But what if this happens?
I just think about this for a second. At the combine,
(17:03):
Carson Wentz tries to do an Eli Manning Chad Powers
and convince people he's coming out of the draft, and
he puts on a disguise and he throws for James
as a fifth round pick. A person like Carson, our
seven quarterback, just says, I'll go back in. He said,
like Derek Carr goes back in. They're like, yeah, third
(17:27):
round tops, man, really, third round tops. Listen, you're a
Day three guy. But you never know, right, you never
know a quarterbacks position of need for a lot of teams,
you never know. I remember when Maurice Coirette we call it,
when when he went to the combine failed to do
the bench press. I was like, day he's a Day
four guy. And when he when he didn't he run that?
(17:48):
Didn't he run the forty yard dash in like nine
seconds or something insane like that? He had at times
nine five or something like that. He like actually rich
rich eyes and beat him on the forties. I remember that.
I remember the early gifts of that of like photoshop
of of of a guy like in his walker, like
passing him like at he running like like through there,
(18:11):
oh man, hey, when it's the third a mile with
Garrett Blunt, Like Garrett Blunt ran that like five point
one seconds a running back, which tells you, like how
meaningless it is because he actually had a really kind
of decent career. Back looked like he was carrying an
Ellison on his back. Hey, so apparently people are just
(18:35):
finding out Bryce Young is not tall. I mean, I
don't know. I made my big pretty much is. People
are just finding that out right now and entirely it
might be a big deal. He's skinny. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
like he's not a big man. You didn't see all
those six foot five offensive linemen in the surrounding him
(18:55):
as he looked like he was five foot eight in
the huddle. Um. Yeah, but he has all those pads. One,
I feel like that would be what Henry Winkler for
a Russell Development would say, it's kind of hard. The
guys have all the pads. I've got. I've got pads.
I've got pads. I really I got pads. I can
bulk up. I won't wear the Joey boasts a little
(19:16):
baby shoulder pads. I'll put like big time shoulder pads on. Yeah.
It looks like those the Pop Warner kids. When I
first put on pads. Just get a full Yeah, I look,
this is a real deal. This is a real thing,
and people need to understand it's a real thing because
(19:39):
you have to be able to take hits in this
league and this so this matters. And it's not the height,
it's the it's your your body strength. Because it's like
Russell Wilson's not very big guy, but he's you know,
he's a well built guy, which is why he's last
year is long now last season aside for Russell Wilson,
he obviously had a terrific first nine years through his career,
(20:01):
right and part of that that was, you know, he's
a strong guy. Drew Brees. If you've ever stood next
to Drew Brees, he's not He's a muscular, well built guy,
but pretty put together, which he had to become in
his career after the shoulder injuries. But people worry about
like Ta Tacka looks like mister Universe next to Bryce Young,
(20:26):
right like, and Tua gets ragdalled on a regular basis.
So Bryce Young has some real work ahead of him
to make sure he puts on some proper weight. Now,
there have been guys who are skinning quarterbacks. Jared Goff
is you know, not the biggest guy in the world.
Joe Montana was not a particularly big guy. But you know, ay,
(20:46):
Jared Goff is not exactly mister I'm going to hold
the ball and take a shot here. You know, that's
one of one of his biggest problems is he don't
like to get hit right. He plays tackle football for living.
I don't want to get in right. And you're like,
no quarterback likes to get hit. But there are some
guys who are Phil Sims. And then there's the other
end of the spectrum, and that would be Jared gosh right,
(21:09):
and so like that's a problem. And then you know,
Joe Montana was not a very big guy, and he
got rag dolls a lot in his career. And there's
a reason why he's missed a lot of tears of
his career, like he missed I think, if you put
it together, like four full seasons of action overall in
(21:31):
his career because of all the injuries that he suffered.
So as great as he was, even he had his problems.
I mean, Kurt Warner as tough to guy as there's
ever been. This guys missed a lot of time. So yes,
this is a real concern with Bryce yea. And the
question is not so much what does he weigh today? Okay,
it's it's obviously concern, but can he put on weight?
(21:55):
Can he gets strong enough? And I think, unfortunately an
answer is probably. Know that if you take this guy,
you're gonna have to live with the fact that he's
gonna struggle to get to two hundred pounds or you know,
two hundred and five pounds, and you're gonna have to
find a way to really protect him and have a
great line which you have to take into consideration when
(22:15):
you're building a team around him. So how desperate to
teams get at the top? You know, he's the head. No, no,
he goes he goes first, but then the other three
three guys, I mean how quickly they come off. I
don't know if he goes first. Yeah, I don't know
about you. A Richardson guy. Now, because Jason Smith Adams
(22:38):
the Cole, is gonna be the guy to say if
Geordan Love was coming out of this draft, he'd be
the number one overall pick um well, based on the
fact that Jordan was actually played. Yeah, probably, but um no,
I mean what I would say is, if all things
are equal, you take the bigger guy. Now, Anthony Richardson
(23:00):
is the extreme the other direction, because like where Bryce
Young played in a in a pro style offense at
Alabama and had a lot of throws the last couple
of years, right, and played in a similar kind of
offense in high school and through the ball, you know,
a couple of thousand times basically, you know, in all
(23:22):
those drills, Anthony Richardson hasn't even thrown four hundred passes
since the beginning of his senior year. And I so
it's a Trey Land situation. No, no, no, I have
an exact match. No, no, no no, I have the exact
match for this. Anthony Richardson should go to the Cowboys
(23:43):
because Mike McCarthy doesn't want to throw the football, so
they would be perfect. He doesn't have to throw the football.
He's it's a bray. It's a match made in Heaven,
right there, Anthony Richardson. I think Anthony Richardson's best off
going to the Jets. Can you really say anybody is
best off going to the Jets? I mean, really, is
that a real sentence? No? Okay, we tried to make
(24:06):
that happen. I appreciate, like I was thinking about some
snarky remark in a response. But no, I can't justify
saying to anyone that they should go to the Jets.
That's just, that's just it's not a healthy thing for
any player. No, because I know if if the Packers
come to Aaron Rodgers, who I want to continue my career?
(24:26):
You're sure, yes I do? Okay, So what is it, Well,
it's the Jets or nobody, Well, get my retirement papers ready,
I'm walking away. I've done the Jets or nobody if
it's ready. If it's the Jets or nobody, He'll choose nobody,
because that's how it goes for the Jets now. Jake Cole, Yeah,
we've always had the Ravens as one of those exemplary
(24:49):
kind of organizations. But it seems like the building's burning
right now. A lot a lot of insight margin. Well, look,
i mean they you know, we've been talking about this
for what the last year, Like if they wanted to
sign them, they would have signed him, right. Oh, I'm
talking about the whole thing between that the players survey,
(25:11):
the wide receiver fight with Dakasta. It's really uh quickly yeah,
But I mean, look, the other stuff is small potatoes
when your quarterback, when you don't know if you have
a quarterback or not, that's a much more essential problem.
And but how many teams, how many teams really took
it on the chin and that that survey. I mean
(25:33):
there's there's what a dozen teams that just got hammered
in that survey, basically a third of the league. And
they deserve it, right, like Arizona Cardinals. Like charging for meals? Really,
is that worse than the rats? That's like in that's
like in college when you go in for your meal,
I'm sorry, your your meals are up for the week.
You can't you can't get a meal here? You can
(25:54):
all have to pay for it? Oh man, I mean
I mean the Wells, Bidwell's gonna bid Well. I'm just
gonna say that that's what they got, you know, like
Charlie's been dead for a long time. Build Bidwell's you know,
been dead for a while here. But Michael Bidwell, Yeah,
let's charge the players for food. We want them to
(26:16):
eat well, but let's charge them for their meals when
they come in. I like the ruin where the weight
rooms not you know, you know, like the day that
you're supposed to work out the weight rooms locked part
of the day and then oh, come on, man, like
teams just don't get it, Like they just don't get it.
You want your guys to train in your facility, don't
(26:36):
give them reasons not to train, Like here's the one
they like, Oh, you've got to show up for all
these offseason programs, but I can't give you a ham sandwich.
I really need you to train. I need you to
show up all the time. Oh no tuna for you, No, no, no,
(26:58):
no vitamins in Cincinnati, right, these are professional athletes, you
morov what doing? You see them in peak cynical condition
and you want to keep track of them, but you
find reasons to drive them away. You guys are idiots.
(27:21):
You're chest idiots over stuff that is nickel, the most
nickel and dime crap of all time, like the ham sandwich. Yeah,
I'm you know, like, oh, we can't have a guy
come in to you know, make up some hot food
or something like for that. No, we can't afford the
couple one hundred bucks a day it might cost to actually,
you know, have the cafeteria working. That was my favorite one.
(27:44):
Forget about the rats in the in the Hamper and
Jacksonville because you just bring in the cocaine bear to
take care of that. My favorite was the Bengals. Their
cafeteria is not open for dinner. Wait, so like, hey,
I'm still hungry. Nope, no, no, we said, everybody home.
We're not paying anybody more than eight hours. We're done.
You're going, well yeah, and here and and by the way,
if you've ever been to like you know, like their
(28:06):
train facility is in downtown Cincinnati, right, Like the closest
food to that is like Skyline Chili, which is just
direct Like that's that's awful. Yeah, I mean Skyline Chili.
Come on, just stop just u but um, like, like
(28:27):
there's not like food, easy access food. So now you're
your coaching staff can't even have dinner. Like you're expecting
those guys to eat late to stay late in the work,
but we can't get them any food either. It's just
mind boggling the kind of stupid stuff that teams do,
um where they just don't take care of the people
(28:48):
who are supposed to take care of And I mean Washington,
I mean the Washington story about ESPN this week was
it was a classic but the fact that They've like that.
The fact that Dan Snyder's paying himself four and a
half million dollars a year to put the Washington logo
on his private jet and call that advertising is one
(29:12):
of the greatest things ever because like that money actually
doesn't go to the Saffary cap as a result of that.
It's just classic. All the stuff that they call. Follow
them on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. That is,
at Jason Cole sixty two. He's the guy saying ikey, Icky, ikey.
Jordan loves Zoezy Skyline. My review of Skyline Chili coming
(29:42):
up next. Do you like the Larry King of sports
and ling the Cincinnati audience very quickly? Yeah, yeah, No,
they'll never give you dinner in Cincinnati again. That's okay,
I'm never going Buddy Bike oh Man, there goes Jesus. One.

I have a babe live drop Friday. I have a
big Bowl prediction for you coming out of the biggest
drama filled part of the combine today. You're ready. So
we found out a bunch of different things today. The
(30:47):
quarterbacks all spoke today. A lot of players spoke today
the combine. Bryce Young, addressing his size, I've always been
this size. C J. Strout says I can run the football.
I just didn't get a chance to do it a
lot in college. But the bas don't take me. That's
justin fields team you had. Will Levis saying I can't
wait to show off Mike Cannon. I'm throwing it the
combine so I can do it. First things first. With Levis,
(31:11):
I think it's a great decision because if nobody else
is doing it, and you're going to do it, as
long as you have a big arm, that's gonna help you.
Like if everybody else was throwing it was that, but
you have a chance to be the one person throwing
at the top of the draft where you could maybe
move up to maybe where you're a toss up with c. J. Strout,
you're going even higher in the draft. I think it's
a great move for Levis. But Stetson Bennett, two time
(31:34):
national champion winning quarterback at Georgia, spoke today and addressed
the off the field issues that he's had since Georgia
won their second straight championship. Had a lot of criticism
on social media for hey, you're on your phone during
the parade, and then he had the big issue where
he was knocking on people's doors and you know, when
you know, it's kind of shouldn't have been doing that,
(31:55):
a pretty big, high profile incident, and he apologized today.
He said, listen, when you're last name, I'm Stetson Bennet
the fourth. When your last name is Bennett, you can't
do stuff like that. And the first thing I have
to say is my piece of advice for him is
that he's learning right now that the knuckle headed stuff
is knuckleheaded stuff because being on your phone at the parade,
(32:17):
what does it matter? What do you care if people
are upset that you're on your phone, don't look at
I guess say, dude, you're twenty five years old. Man.
Social media should not run your life as a quarterback.
Can't do it. Let people say whatever the hell they
want to about you at at the parade. What does
it matter? But he's gonna learn pretty quickly that the
knuckle headed stuff blows up and it happens, and you
(32:37):
have to be able to deal with it and not
be an elitist and not inflame things. So this is
what happens. Now you're a pretty big deal, and now
you're seeing what it's like when you do something, even
if it's pretty innocuous or if it's something that, hey,
it's a mistake I made, I won't do it again.
I'm not gonna be knocking on people's tours, drying again
in places I shouldn't be do. You have to understand
that's gonna be a big deal and you have to
(32:58):
handle it professionally, and you can't blow it off and
you can't see like you're above it, because this is
where things get really bad on you. This is going
to drag you down. That's the biggest thing he needs
to know going into the draft. Yeah, I mean bottom
line is you got you got two things working on you.
You're old, or some would say mature. Yet the biggest
question about you is not your age necessarily, it's how
(33:20):
mature are you? If you're doing that right, That's where
we're going through. As with a quarterback position. Are you
a leader? Are you? Can you keep your composure or
do you have the maturity to go and be a
leader of a team. Those are questions you have to
answer coming out of those. Whether you're on your phone
during a parade, the hell cares about a parade on
(33:43):
the grand scale? Great you had? Can I see the playlist? No?
I disagree with it. These are not great songs. So
not only did you ignore your fans, but you have
bad taste in music. No nobody cares. It's about the
other stuff and how that can change perception because you're
also still have to win over a fan base. All right,
(34:05):
you might win over the guy interview and yet yeah, okay,
nothing huge came out of it, blah blah blah. But
you have to go into a city and if you're
getting drafted early and he's not a guy that we're
talking about in the top ten, but it's still you're
expected to be above Why why do we see months
of coverage anytime a quarterback does anything out of sort?
(34:28):
It's because it comes with the position. Now, let me
throw this at you. Hit me. Doesn't he just have
Patriots written all over him? Doesn't he? Doesn't he just
have Patriots big leader one a couple of times. Yeah,
you know, the whole knocking on the door side. But
doesn't he have Patriots written all over him? Come in?
(34:48):
That guy? Is he older than mac Joe? I think
I think he's older than Belichick actually, So that is
gonna be a tough one. Coming up next, weally got
more big stuff out of the NBA and a big
hot takeout of the NFL. This is Fox Sports Radio.
