Speaker 4 (00:51):
Do you want to blame me one on one big night?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
In the NFL Draft, we are closing in on the
end of the third round.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Meanwhile, in the NBA, the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Have just tipped off in front of Jack Nicholson and
and Fanos and everybody.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
But I just saw the greatest gantage. Buddy.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
You did, buddy? Yeah? What did you say? Update? What?
Speaker 5 (01:16):
What?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
What you got?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Because you added Thanos Stanos actually there.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Well, if Jack Nicholson's there, you know, Thanos is probably
because I just saw Will Arnett so some version of
Batman the Will.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Why do you got to bring Marvel into everything?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Man?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Wow, you really you gotta do it, like you gotta
sell that, man.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That was low key though, like he was just playing
the bass.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah, dude, now you did that, Like I really didn't
feel like doing that.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
That sounded just like normally you should be very excited
about that, Like I said, nickelback.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Oh my god, look at this phoneto grab.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
That wasn't half bad. Actually, see that was better than
just you're half hearted.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
No, don't encourage it, Mike, That's how he sounds though.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Time out on the floor at the Crypt, Lakers lead
the Grizzlies fourteen to nine. Lakers looking for the closeout,
which would put them into the NBA Finals against the Knicks.
So if the Lakers win this game, we go right
to Nick Lakers for the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I think many NBA executives over there in New York
would love to pass some sort of resolution as if
they were members of Congress to be able to pull
that off.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Who says, no, right, but we lose allgain No, no, no,
you make it like a best eleven out of twenty one.
It's out fine, We're gonna play this series for the
next month and a half.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Knicks Lakers every single.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
We can't be doing make goods to advertisers.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
That's get back.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
But if they did best to eleven of twenty one,
that becomes a all right, which is the load management game.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Oh, lots of games are load man. If you're up,
like if you're up like four to one, you got
load manager with the next home. Yeah, they took couple
of nights. We're really we're tired. So Lakers again. Lead
there in front of Jack Nicholson, who is at the
game for the first I'm in almost two years. Uh,
Nicholson's at the game, just turned eighty six. He's got
purple pants on, kind of awesome. He's taking pictures with people,
(03:08):
he did a picture, He's doing all these things. Man,
it's it's it's a big Jack Nicholson knight.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
That's like an homage to me.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
It would be purple shorts though.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, yeah, we hear purple pants. You know, I've never
seen you wear purple pants. Just purple shorts.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Oh, I'll wear them next week.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You have purple pants, really, of course, and you've not.
I've known you for nine years. You've not worn purple
pants wear pants. Okay, that's true, But there are it
does get cold in the winter, there is sometimes, you know,
the last are usually some some nice sweatpants or yeah,
but or maybe but I would think that would be
they that would be the top of your pants rotation.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
You're purple would be right at the top.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It would be yeah, yeah, we'll make sure to add
that back in. Rather, it's gonna be ninety five degrees here.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
And sure, I've never seen a pair with an ass
in them.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
You know what. I didn't say there was an ass
in them. They're a pant like product.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Meanwhile, the other big game tonight, well, a really entertaining
first round series, and after the way Game five went,
I'm sure many bules at all this is now gonna end.
The Warriors are going home. I told you when the
Kings are up to zip. The series is going seven,
and it's gonna wind up being can the Kings win
a game with the pressure of the entire basketball world
(04:24):
on them? And can the Warriors win a game on
the road when they're terrible, and this is where we are.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
No Kings are gonna go oh no, now the Warriors
got no.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Now the King's now the Warriors have We are going
to Game seven after the Kings beat the Warriors one
eighteen ninety nine. De Aaron Fox, who is becoming an
absolute superstar. Look, he's the breakout player of the NBA
playoffs right now. Look, Jalen Brunson, we knew how great
he was, great what he's doing with the Knicks, But
Jalen Brunson's had a little bit of run. He does
play for the Knicks, after all. But d' aaron Fox
(04:54):
is a guy who came out Remember the big We
thought there would be a big Darren Fox le h
Lonzo ball rivalry, and he has become an absolute stud.
Twenty six eleven and four rebounds a night to lead
the Kings to victory over Golden State. And honestly, in
this game, I mean, look, doing the show and watching it,
but you know, what do I know about basketball? But
(05:15):
I saw one team that had a lot more jump
and looked a lot fresher, and the other team that
looked like they were stuck a little bit, we're hoping
to hit some threes and get back in this. The
Warriors just didn't look like they had the life that
the Kings had in this game. And the Kings ran
all over the floor around him. You know, they shot
forty percent from the floor. They were better at every
(05:35):
aspect of the game than Golden State was. And the
fact that we got to the fourth quarter in Golden State,
the Kings pulled away.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
For this one.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
They didn't just survive and go, oh, you know, he
went a nail bier by three. They pulled away to
win by twenty and send this thing to game seven.
I mean, the longer series go on for veteran players
and veteran teams, the harder it gets to win. And
that's what the Warriors are fighting out right now.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Well, it goes one way or the other, either the
championship medal. Right, the history informs it, which is what
has been the I guess tagline for the way this
series was anticipated was that the Kings would eventually shrink away.
And as we go to Game seven, Warriors were seven
and a half point favorites tonight to close it out
(06:21):
and got absolutely boat raced at home. They missed him exactly.
They missed ten free throws, including a couple from Steph Curry.
He went six of nine from the fall line. Stop
the presses that may have never happened and may never
happened again, But he had some struggles. I'm sure every
(06:43):
one of the players will need to write a check
to the league because I'm sure they're going to complain
about officiating. There were a number of instances that left
me scratching my head, going, that's not a foul. What
are we doing? I know playoff rules are a little
bit different, but hey, here we go ninety nine in
your final. They get absolutely pasted nineteen turnovers. Yes, Sacramento
(07:06):
matched them in that column, but not all turnovers in
sequencing are created equal. So just a pretty dismal effort
all around. A lot of shots coming up short on
the rim or just some bad possessions. Although for a
while look like the t Wolves were gonna do everything
they could to give it back. They had that idiotic
(07:27):
play at the end of the third quarter where they
rolled the ball into play and the Warriors got down
and stole it.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Oh, how about we just let's not worry about the
clock so much, right, Let's make sure that doesn't mark right.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It was like thirty eight seconds left. You know we
could get that. It's like, no play basketball. That's what
built you the lead. Don't do anything dumb to open
the door.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
You know.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Slash match, is it the losing in the second?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Come on, the Knicks are great? Is that after every game?
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Right?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Because we're in the hot take society that we've been in,
and look, I like a hot take as much as
anybody else. I'm digging that. But this series, specifically this
King's Warriors series.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
This is gone.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Depending on who wins the game. The overwhelming narrative is
here come the Kings and they're being disrespected. But then
the Warriors win the next game, and it's the Warriors
save their season. Look at the champs like they're going
to the Western Conference Finals. It's two to two, it's
three two. Now it's three three, and they're gone. But
every game it's like, oh, what can I say? How
(08:48):
can I go completely opposite of what the take was,
what the overwhelming consensus was following the last game, and
do it here?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Oh the war Look at the Warriors.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Look at them. They're champions. Everybody's underestimating them. Guess what
they can say, I'll go home in the first round.
It's not like they've won three rounds of playoffs. We're
getting ready for the conference finals, and it's oh, look
at Golden State, look what they did. Yeah, if the
Warriors get to the conference finals, I can look back
and all right, look at what they did. We th
had them buried, and look at what they were able
to do. They couldn't win a game at home away
(09:18):
from home most of the year. They won a couple
at the end of the year, and look at what
they did in the playoffs. Things that bounced their way
and they got through and they galvanized themselves behind Draymond
Green suspension, and here they are in the Western Conference Finals.
But everything I just said, people are saying after game
five of the first round of the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Are you knew here?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Look at what they're dumb like, you got it? Come on, man,
you gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You really save all your you know, save your big
hot take, you know, exclamation points when a team actually
wins a series and at least you have a couple
of days of being able to pat yourself on the back, right, like, look,
I had to wait. I knew the Knicks were great.
I knew the Knicks were gonna beat the crap out
of the caves. I told you before the series Nixon four,
(10:00):
one and five.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Okay, big deal.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
But when did I start honking it up about the
Knicks after they after they closed them out?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Because every game, every game is not its own book.
In a a in a series, you can't just say, oh,
they're up to one, it looks like this series is over.
They'll win the next one. They'll be in the finals. Yes,
let's talk about how they're back to being the champions.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
The Warriors can still go out in the first round,
and then the storyline is the end of the Warriors dynasty.
With everybody back and everybody healthy, and here's everybody and
they can't get out of the first round of the
playoffs against Sacramento, a series that everybody wanted to hand
to them at to be a oh Golden state. Look
at that. They're the champs. They won some they won
four titles. Sacramento is really good, but they're new to
(10:43):
the playoffs. They're gonna wilt under pressure. The Warriors will
be able to use that champions mentality and take a
game away from home and win everything at home. Well, yeah,
they won a game away from home and they gave
it back tonight, and the Kings were the best team
out there when the Warriors are going for a closer.
So get me stop a little bit with the all.
Look at the Warriors. I know that people want to
say great things about them all the time. They always
(11:03):
want to say great things about Steph and Clay and
what a great leader Draymond is, even when he's being
a knucklehead and deserves a suspension. But I really want
to say good things about No, say accurate things. The
accurate thing is the era of the Warriors could be
over in one more game. It could continue, but it
could be over in one more game. So let's realize
that's kind of where things are.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Boy, it's like you just started in sports talk radio.
I know this wild pendulum has been there for have
you not paid attention when it's the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But it's only in the NBA playoffs where every game
it's I need to say something really intelligent and and
and cut through about the NBA about these two games
last night.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
And what can I possibly say? Right?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Like, it's easy to do it during the NFL. C
is easy to do because teams play once a week, right,
teams play once a week. Right, It's hard to do
in the NBA players when it's every other game and
it's such a deal for one game, And how do
I find what to say? I'm gonna give a team
a championship after they're up to one in the first round.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
You just take whoever's playing.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
The juts Now, I will say, that's the one thing
that the help's going back to your analogy is that
in the NBA, and it makes the work a little
harder unless they have the Arian Foster script. Is that
it's not like a certain book series where it was always,
oh again, it was the professor that was supposed to
help us against the dark arts. Oh that guy, Oh,
(12:31):
I didn't see that coming.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
How come they can't that guy can't keep that job?
Why can't they keep it? The evil future?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
The hell's wrong?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Why are they so easily tricked if they're supposed to
be the guys that are supposed to be helping us
to defend this house.

It makes things easier, things go faster when you're right
with AI. Okay, it's natural. Yeah, right, Yeah, there has
been a very good draft. It's a very very good draft.
Good for you, Jason Smith. This is the greatest draft
(14:19):
of Jets history. I will say that, right. Sure, we
got a draft week.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yes, we got Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
We got a guy named McDonald because I love McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
It doesn't get any better than this.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Is that did you draft Norm McDonald's kid or something
like that?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
We we did, we we we drafted to McDonald again.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Uh you know, thirty five years after he played, We
drafted to McDonalds. Yes, dude, how much of my loving
life Rogers is all saying all the best things New York.
He's working out and Jets gear already I wanted to
be a Jet. It was the Jets and nobody.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
You're great, You're you're that, You're that guy who was
basically who was that crazy looking dude with the hair
who wore the belt in the first insurance adds with
him you're that guy. Hey, Rock, that's who you are
right now, That's exactly who you are. Rogers and they
(15:20):
got the belt on the whole thing. Now every week
you're going to scream at least once Rock.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Gosh, he's been doing it all week. J Cole and
I got to say, going into the draft, I was
a bit disappointed that both the Rogers and Lamar Jackson's
situations were resolved before the commissioner came out to get booed.
I was really hoping we'd have some more drama.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Well, actually the NFL was quite happy with it since
they didn't have to talk about tampering. But yeah, that's
a whole different thing now.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
They wouldn't talk about it anyway.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Nothing to see here, Yeah, just everybody walk away Rogers
contra everybody walking Antonio Brown crazy. Well that's normal, we
do that every week. I thought, Look, the Rogers thing,
we all knew that was going to happen. The Lamar
Jackson thing, I'm not surprised at because he eventually had
to get something done and they needed you know, they
(16:17):
needed to get it done too, because they had to
make a decision. Okay, are we doing the one year
deal with him, or are we going to this draft
where we have to think about taking one of these
quarterbacks in the second or third round, or maybe even
the first depending on how things look. They have a
really important decision to make, and so you know, ultimately
he's gotta get done. As we all found out, Lamar
(16:38):
had no leverage to get anything better than what he's
basically been offered for the last year and a half,
which you know, there's nothing that needs at Like it's
one hundred and eighty six million dollars. You know, that's
the heck of a contract and has paid quarterback for now.
You know, I mean in about two weeks, Patrick Mahome,
you're going to redo his deal and you know he'll
(16:59):
be at fifty three or whatever the number has to be.
But you know, fifty plus million and one hundred and
eighty six eight. You know, he's got generational wealth. Now
everything's taken care of. He can even you know, afford
to put Antonio Brown on the contract, on the payroll himself.
You know, you know, it made me.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
And that was my big thing today J Cole is
that like this is where like the new Twitter has
really upset me because it took me five minutes to
try to figure out is Antonio Brown a Raven or not?
Like I don't know, like he tweets out in a
Jersey Okay, he obviously signed there, But then I got
to try to find it and seems to and it
takes me five minutes to find out.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Because new Twitter is is is to all? And what
the jokes hadn't started fast enough for you?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I like the he just liked his blue check marks.
Now that that has become a wild West in that regard,
he feels a bit lost.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Now I got to look and see it. Who has it?
Is this?
Speaker 5 (17:54):
You know?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Does somebody have it? Does are the Ravens tweet?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
They have it?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
All?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Right? What about Blazer? What about chef sir? You know?
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Nope? Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. He ab is all
alone on this one, as much as he is on
pretty much everything that's going on in his.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Life right now.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Hey, now, I know one big thing you were hot
on on the draft. You were not hot on Will
Levis leaving the draft, and you even you even said
you would wait till you would have waited till a
third round of draft him.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
At this point, Oh absolutely, I mean, look, things are
going to get really ugly here during your career, right,
You're going to have bad days. If you think this
is such a bad day that you can't show up
for the next round, I got a problem with your
mental forty two to answer this scheme, Like, you know,
(18:45):
I remember Dan Marino. You know the story is about
Marino from his rookie year. Not that I covered that year,
but you know from his rookie year where he threw
like three interceptions in a game or it was it
was eighty four. Don Strock was his backup and Marina
is coming off the field. He thinks he sucks. It's awful.
He's thrown three yard ficks. You know something's gone wrong here.
(19:07):
His confidence is lost and he walks in and Strock
looks at him and goes, man, that really sucked. This
is a teammate telling him like, hey, welcome to the NFL,
Like the other guys are really good. Okay, So if
you're not ready for that, and again, if you're not
(19:29):
ready for the fact that, oh poor baby, you didn't
go in the first round and you can't show up
for the second day, I got a problem with you.
I really do. And I think there's plenty of talent
there and all these other things, and you know, for
whatever reason he felt, you know, I've heard no legitimate reason,
(19:50):
and the toad thing just sounds silly to me. That
would have come out weeks ago. Sorry, you know, like
people would have floated that a long time ago. But
you know, like, hang in there, dude. I mean, I
will say this, I don't understand, Tennessee, if you're going
to trade up for him on day two, why didn't
(20:11):
you do that at the end of day one, where
you know, you moved up a couple of more spots
and you would have had control of the kid for
the fifth year. Yeah, like that was a that's a
bad strategic move. You should have done that. I mean,
you're not going Kansas is not going to help you,
clearly with the last pick. But there were a couple
(20:31):
of the teams at the end of the end of
the first round where you could have snuck up and
taken you know, you could have taken Levis there. If
you're going to take him at where they take him
at thirty four, you should take him at you know,
thirty or thirty one or twenty nine. Whatever you got
to do.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
See, we talked about it from the Lewis side of
why this was good for him, and now we get
the you know, the balance put out here Jason Cole
with us here Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
Oh, I think it's great. Yeah, I will say this.
I think it's a good location for Levis, you know, like,
oh yeah, as long as they keep Derrick Henry and
don't do something stupid and trade him. I mean that's
a terrific place to be.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
That would have been done already, right right, no, uh,
never know. Well, speaking of doing something stupid and out
of the order job last night, I you know, we
the world stopped as it looked like Houston actually worked
with some competency. Yeah, you might not like the compensation
going back to go go get Anderson, but it looked
(21:29):
like they actually had some football acumen in the room
and some direction in purpose for the first time in
a while. Jacob.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Yeah, it also looks like to me, an argument where
the head coach was sitting here saying I want Anderson
no matter what, that's my guy, that's the guy I
want to build around, which is a perfectly legitimate thing
to do if you're to Meeka ryants right and why
are we You know, like he probably stood on a
table and said, I want this guy more than I
(21:58):
want the quarterback, and everybody else there said, hey, look,
we got to get a quarterback to build around for
the next ten years. So to satisfy the coach, to
make him happy and make it feel everything is on board,
he did have to overpay to go go ahead and
get Anderson, So you just go ahead and do it right.
Otherwise you can wait in the draft a little bit
(22:20):
and not have to pay as much of a premium.
But to me, it's this smacked of make your head
coach happy while also getting a guy that you think
can be a franchise quarterback, and you certainly hope that
he's going to be a franchise quarterback. Certainly if you
don't believe in the other two guys.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Did you confirm that he had a yellow sticky note
like Kevin Coosterer that said Anderson no matter what.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
No, I can't confirm that, but I do believe that
he was watching draft day earlier in the day and
came up with all the strategies for what he wanted
to do.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
You am surprised that you I'm surprised. I really is that?
Speaker 5 (22:59):
You know? I was in Draft A by the way,
you're in Draft day. Yeah, for like maybe a three miloseconds.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Okay, who are you?
Speaker 5 (23:08):
If you if you blink no, I'm gone. And I
might have gotten edited out on the on whatever the
whatever turner station it's on where it plays. I'm probably
edited out. That's my guess, Mike.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You see Draft A eight billion times. Where's Jason colling it?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Well, there's a billion gaggle of reporter scenes.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Yeah, trust me, I'm I'm in the background scenes and
in uh in uh in the theater in New York.
That's that's where I am. That's like I said, you
blink no, he's gone, or you cut, you know, cut
even two seconds of the film. I'm gone. So that's it.
(23:53):
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
You know what I always if you know, every every
Christmas Eve, someone puts on Twitter, Hey, Terrorists of Season
Knockotomy Plaza and downtown LA and people fall for it
and think it's real and it is something we hear
that it's Hans Gruber, this Big ten. They show a picture.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Alan Rickman and everything else.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I can't believe on Draft Day that people don't fall
for Hey.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
The the the.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
The Browns have just traded three second round picks to
the Jaguars and their rookie GM makes a big move
down there, and people don't go crazy.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Ever, why do we make this trade? I can't believe that.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I can't believe we don't get more people with draft
day plotline.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Weird. That would really that would be pretty awesome if
we did that. I'm thinking, well, maybe let's try and
pull that one off next year. That would be that
would be entertaining. I will say what to transition a
little bit. The most entertaining moment of this entire draft
was with a key On White, the kid who was
taking number forty six by by the Patriots, who had
(24:55):
the look on his face like, you know, like his
entire family, you know, like I just you know, didn't
killed like it was it was awful, Like he was
like it was like it was the most uncomfortable reaction
I've ever seen. He was just absolutely nonplus by the
whole moment. I was like, I was thinking, Belichick's probably
(25:17):
looking at that going. Kid looks fired up. Love it.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
He nods, he extends his hand for a handshake. It's like, Yep,
this is where I need to be. It's my kind
of guy. Understated, just nods and maybe mumbles a couple
of words.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
It works.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
He was channeling his inner Belichick more than any human being.
That was such a pure Belichick moment. It really was
like everybody'shooting the Hollierys, They're giving him high fives, everybody's
starting to cry. He's just like, yeah, yep, I was
the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Look, you know, you know Belichick was mad because what
he wanted to do was trade all the picks to
get eleven seventh round picks and draft all players from
the Patriot League.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Like that's all he wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I'm gonna draft people from from the IVY League and
the Patriot legue.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
This is what I want.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I want guys to play D three last year. This
is what we're gonna take all seventh.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Rounds because he's gonna take his team, which right now
looks like it's gonna finish last place in that division
this year does not look promising, and say, let's develop
an excuse for why this happened.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, but they'll still beat the Jets twice. They'll finish last,
They'll still find a way to beat the Jets.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
They'll intercept Rogers like six times in the two games combined,
or six times in each game Rogers.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
What are you doing? Rogers game? We brought you into?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Oh boy, So what did you like most out of
day one? What was the thing that move that said, ah,
this is shrewd.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
He liked Rogers, That's what he liked Rogers.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Rogers. Trude certainly taken Jahn Carter there is really is
a great pick, because I mean, I don't know if
there's other stuff in Jayn Carr's past which is the
reason why he's fallen like this. And I'm not trying
to say that this incident that you know, the speeding
incident is not a significant thing to people that are
(27:16):
dead right, and this is this is very serious, okay,
But I've seen other things where it was longer term
habitual behavior by players that you know, like didn't get
discussed as much as this one. Right, It's and I
(27:37):
was I was sort of wondering myself to myself, there
has to be again, not that this is not a
significant incident in and of itself, but I thought for
him to fall this far with all of his talent,
there has to be something else. But he's a truly
great player, and they put him with the other kid,
(27:59):
Jordan Davis, Like this is their defensive line. They lost
Hardgrave and like they don't take a step back at all.
In fact, they might be better today defensive line wise
than they were a year ago. And that's saying quite
a bit. I didn't like. I will say this, I
didn't quite get Detroit's decision to go and take running
(28:24):
back without having a deal in place for Swift already. Like,
if you're going to do that and you're making that declaration,
you've got to trade Swift, like either right before you
do that or right after, because now Swift has much
less value, right, So that one I do. I'm really
fascinated by Atlanta and trying to build around a running
(28:45):
back and saying if they can, Yeah, if Arthur Smith
can build around or running back the same way he
built around Derrick Henry that offense in Tennessee. I'm that
those were the ones that really intrigued me, those kinds
of close moves.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Check him out on out Kick on Twitter at Jason
Cole sixty two. That's at Jason Cole sixty two.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Rogers.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Thanks Cole as always, buddy appreciated we'll talk.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
About remember your Yeah, shut up, Your Kid's not that Great?
Available on Amazon, and Tom Brady Sr. Said it's a
must read for every parent.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
There you go, your kid's not that great, unless you're
Aaron Rodgers, in which case your kid you're his parents,
in which it is that great.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
That's out.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
Yeah, but you don't talk. You don't talk to him
anymore because he doesn't talk to his parents anymore.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
He's still great stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Yeah, parents still with me. He's a great quarterback. I mean,
you can't. You might not.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
They might look to any playoff failures. Be sure to

Speaker 4 (30:26):
I don't know? Since Jackson audience went on, Wait, since
who's an audience, Jack Nicholson, Ryan.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Is an audience?
Speaker 4 (30:33):
So you run the Yeah, hello, Clarry, it's one of
his greatest roles.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
You know what it was? Yes, it was, it was.
He was so good in that.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I believe it.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Arry, I ate his liver with fava beans and talk

Speaker 1 (30:49):

Speaker 4 (30:55):
Just the fact that I go from a hannibal to

Speaker 5 (30:58):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
It is really all right?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Which ones of you twos is gonna tell him that
Anthony Hopkins that way?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I was about to, and then I realized, no, no, wait, no,
there's no way. Let me stop and not do it, dude,
Anthony Hopkins, Jack Nicholson, two different people.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
No, there's no way, No, yeah, what do you mean?
Speaker 5 (31:14):
There's no way?
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Guy, He's an actor, two completely different people. He just
plays different people.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
He undergoes that's what actors do, reconstruction, each face off.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
I get him.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like Robert Dowdy Chu and you're in
Tropic Thunder, Yes, yes, right, yes, yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Two.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
That's what actors do, is they play other people. However,
Jack Nicholson and Anthony Hopkins's person are too completely different,
which you just described. Yeah, it makes sense neither of them.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Played each other in the story of their lives that that.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Didn't well, not yet yet.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
No, No, I mean yeah, well I think that I
think the ship has sailed on both of those.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
I think it'll come out.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I think it is.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
What if I were to tell you that's actually Anthony
Hopkinson in couragainnight, you just blew.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
My mind and you know how to tie it all
to Yeah, I saw a great mashup that somebody did
of the song good Goodbye Horses and that as the
music plays its scenes from the nineteen sixty six Batman Show,
including the bat two scene and Batman Truly.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Uh So we have what's happening right now in the
NBA Playoffs for about two minutes from halftime, and the
Lakers on top of Memphis by fifteen fifty five forty
Grizzly is trying to claw their way back in this
a little bit to get it probably as well, hopefully there,
hopefully getting it to ten by halftime, but thank just
(32:41):
trip shock.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah, yeah, they're gonna need to have the fire of
the cocaine bear in the second half to make this run.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
So that's where we sit right now with this. But look,
a big night for the NFL Draft. Obviously we saw
the second and third round and we saw Will Levis
get picked. We'll have more on him coming up in
a few minutes. But well, the last couple of days,
you know, a lot we've seen the big wide receivers
being taken and not so much, not so much even
from a fantasy perspective, but just on a on the
(33:10):
field perspective, the the big receivers Jay Flowers, and and
and Quentin Johnson and UH Smith and Jigma and and
UH Jordan Addison, none of them went to a place
where they're gonna be ones. It's kind of weird that
they've all gone to situations where, hey, you're now part
(33:30):
of a big stable of wide receivers, right because you
have Smith, the Jigma now with with Lockett and and
DK Metcalf, you have Quentin Johnson. A very crowded wide
receiver room with the Chargers Zay Flowers. Maybe you could
say he's got the closest path to success, Yes, because
of Odell not being Odell, but Jordan Addison.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
He's great, But how many passes is he really gonna catch?
Speaker 1 (33:52):
I mean, you Knowseph Jefferson's gonna catch a thousand passes
a year.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
So it's really tough because all these teams.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Ye, yeah, it's it's really tough because all these teams
kind of just got richer at the wide receiver position.
If you're asking me which one I like the most
long term, I would say Quinton Johnson just because he
seems like he has the the biggest path to long
term dominant bolts where it's gonna be the end for
Keenan Allen. Mike Williams has always been a really good
(34:20):
number two complimentary receiver.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
But Johnson's that guy.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
He's big, he's a big targets kind of like got
a little bit of Calvin Johnson him a little bit,
And I would say long term, he's gotta be the
guy with the with the biggest big play, big game potential.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Yeah, just make sure you put the T in when
you put it on Twitter He's the guy that you're
gonna see a lot of him. Ellen and Williams can't
stay healthy and maybe changing out the trainer will help.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Sorry, watch your mouth, I got I gotta call it
like it is. I don't spout lies here and hyperberly.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
I'm just calling it what it is. Those guys have
missed a lot of time.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
You're leading receiver last year was Austin Eckler by a
mile in terms of targets, so you might see more
of him. I like the guys like Tank Dell and
Jalen highly going to Houston and to the Giants, respectively.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
They can play big roles immediately.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
We'll have more of the draft coming up next.

Do you want to blame me one on one big night?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
In the NFL Draft, we are closing in on the
end of the third round.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Meanwhile, in the NBA, the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Have just tipped off in front of Jack Nicholson and
and Fanos and everybody.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
But I just saw the greatest gantage. Buddy.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
You did, buddy? Yeah? What did you say? Update? What?
Speaker 5 (01:16):
What?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
What you got?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Because you added Thanos Stanos actually there.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Well, if Jack Nicholson's there, you know, Thanos is probably
because I just saw Will Arnett so some version of
Batman the Will.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Why do you got to bring Marvel into everything?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Man?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Wow, you really you gotta do it, like you gotta
sell that, man.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That was low key though, like he was just playing
the bass.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah, dude, now you did that, Like I really didn't
feel like doing that.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
That sounded just like normally you should be very excited
about that, Like I said, nickelback.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Oh my god, look at this phoneto grab.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
That wasn't half bad. Actually, see that was better than
just you're half hearted.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
No, don't encourage it, Mike, That's how he sounds though.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Time out on the floor at the Crypt, Lakers lead
the Grizzlies fourteen to nine. Lakers looking for the closeout,
which would put them into the NBA Finals against the Knicks.
So if the Lakers win this game, we go right
to Nick Lakers for the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I think many NBA executives over there in New York
would love to pass some sort of resolution as if
they were members of Congress to be able to pull
that off.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Who says, no, right, but we lose allgain No, no, no,
you make it like a best eleven out of twenty one.
It's out fine, We're gonna play this series for the
next month and a half.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Knicks Lakers every single.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
We can't be doing make goods to advertisers.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
That's get back.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
But if they did best to eleven of twenty one,
that becomes a all right, which is the load management game.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Oh, lots of games are load man. If you're up,
like if you're up like four to one, you got
load manager with the next home. Yeah, they took couple
of nights. We're really we're tired. So Lakers again. Lead
there in front of Jack Nicholson, who is at the
game for the first I'm in almost two years. Uh,
Nicholson's at the game, just turned eighty six. He's got
purple pants on, kind of awesome. He's taking pictures with people,
(03:08):
he did a picture, He's doing all these things. Man,
it's it's it's a big Jack Nicholson knight.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
That's like an homage to me.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
It would be purple shorts though.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, yeah, we hear purple pants. You know, I've never
seen you wear purple pants. Just purple shorts.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Oh, I'll wear them next week.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You have purple pants, really, of course, and you've not.
I've known you for nine years. You've not worn purple
pants wear pants. Okay, that's true, But there are it
does get cold in the winter, there is sometimes, you know,
the last are usually some some nice sweatpants or yeah,
but or maybe but I would think that would be
they that would be the top of your pants rotation.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
You're purple would be right at the top.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It would be yeah, yeah, we'll make sure to add
that back in. Rather, it's gonna be ninety five degrees here.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
And sure, I've never seen a pair with an ass
in them.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
You know what. I didn't say there was an ass
in them. They're a pant like product.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Meanwhile, the other big game tonight, well, a really entertaining
first round series, and after the way Game five went,
I'm sure many bules at all this is now gonna end.
The Warriors are going home. I told you when the
Kings are up to zip. The series is going seven,
and it's gonna wind up being can the Kings win
a game with the pressure of the entire basketball world
(04:24):
on them? And can the Warriors win a game on
the road when they're terrible, and this is where we are.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
No Kings are gonna go oh no, now the Warriors
got no.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Now the King's now the Warriors have We are going
to Game seven after the Kings beat the Warriors one
eighteen ninety nine. De Aaron Fox, who is becoming an
absolute superstar. Look, he's the breakout player of the NBA
playoffs right now. Look, Jalen Brunson, we knew how great
he was, great what he's doing with the Knicks, But
Jalen Brunson's had a little bit of run. He does
play for the Knicks, after all. But d' aaron Fox
(04:54):
is a guy who came out Remember the big We
thought there would be a big Darren Fox le h
Lonzo ball rivalry, and he has become an absolute stud.
Twenty six eleven and four rebounds a night to lead
the Kings to victory over Golden State. And honestly, in
this game, I mean, look, doing the show and watching it,
but you know, what do I know about basketball? But
(05:15):
I saw one team that had a lot more jump
and looked a lot fresher, and the other team that
looked like they were stuck a little bit, we're hoping
to hit some threes and get back in this. The
Warriors just didn't look like they had the life that
the Kings had in this game. And the Kings ran
all over the floor around him. You know, they shot
forty percent from the floor. They were better at every
(05:35):
aspect of the game than Golden State was. And the
fact that we got to the fourth quarter in Golden State,
the Kings pulled away.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
For this one.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
They didn't just survive and go, oh, you know, he
went a nail bier by three. They pulled away to
win by twenty and send this thing to game seven.
I mean, the longer series go on for veteran players
and veteran teams, the harder it gets to win. And
that's what the Warriors are fighting out right now.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Well, it goes one way or the other, either the
championship medal. Right, the history informs it, which is what
has been the I guess tagline for the way this
series was anticipated was that the Kings would eventually shrink away.
And as we go to Game seven, Warriors were seven
and a half point favorites tonight to close it out
(06:21):
and got absolutely boat raced at home. They missed him exactly.
They missed ten free throws, including a couple from Steph Curry.
He went six of nine from the fall line. Stop
the presses that may have never happened and may never
happened again, But he had some struggles. I'm sure every
(06:43):
one of the players will need to write a check
to the league because I'm sure they're going to complain
about officiating. There were a number of instances that left
me scratching my head, going, that's not a foul. What
are we doing? I know playoff rules are a little
bit different, but hey, here we go ninety nine in
your final. They get absolutely pasted nineteen turnovers. Yes, Sacramento
(07:06):
matched them in that column, but not all turnovers in
sequencing are created equal. So just a pretty dismal effort
all around. A lot of shots coming up short on
the rim or just some bad possessions. Although for a
while look like the t Wolves were gonna do everything
they could to give it back. They had that idiotic
(07:27):
play at the end of the third quarter where they
rolled the ball into play and the Warriors got down
and stole it.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Oh, how about we just let's not worry about the
clock so much, right, Let's make sure that doesn't mark right.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It was like thirty eight seconds left. You know we
could get that. It's like, no play basketball. That's what
built you the lead. Don't do anything dumb to open
the door.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
You know.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Slash match, is it the losing in the second?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Come on, the Knicks are great? Is that after every game?
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Right?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Because we're in the hot take society that we've been in,
and look, I like a hot take as much as
anybody else. I'm digging that. But this series, specifically this
King's Warriors series.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
This is gone.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Depending on who wins the game. The overwhelming narrative is
here come the Kings and they're being disrespected. But then
the Warriors win the next game, and it's the Warriors
save their season. Look at the champs like they're going
to the Western Conference Finals. It's two to two, it's
three two. Now it's three three, and they're gone. But
every game it's like, oh, what can I say? How
(08:48):
can I go completely opposite of what the take was,
what the overwhelming consensus was following the last game, and
do it here?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Oh the war Look at the Warriors.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Look at them. They're champions. Everybody's underestimating them. Guess what
they can say, I'll go home in the first round.
It's not like they've won three rounds of playoffs. We're
getting ready for the conference finals, and it's oh, look
at Golden State, look what they did. Yeah, if the
Warriors get to the conference finals, I can look back
and all right, look at what they did. We th
had them buried, and look at what they were able
to do. They couldn't win a game at home away
(09:18):
from home most of the year. They won a couple
at the end of the year, and look at what
they did in the playoffs. Things that bounced their way
and they got through and they galvanized themselves behind Draymond
Green suspension, and here they are in the Western Conference Finals.
But everything I just said, people are saying after game
five of the first round of the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Are you knew here?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Look at what they're dumb like, you got it? Come on, man,
you gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You really save all your you know, save your big
hot take, you know, exclamation points when a team actually
wins a series and at least you have a couple
of days of being able to pat yourself on the back, right, like, look,
I had to wait. I knew the Knicks were great.
I knew the Knicks were gonna beat the crap out
of the caves. I told you before the series Nixon four,
(10:00):
one and five.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Okay, big deal.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
But when did I start honking it up about the
Knicks after they after they closed them out?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Because every game, every game is not its own book.
In a a in a series, you can't just say, oh,
they're up to one, it looks like this series is over.
They'll win the next one. They'll be in the finals. Yes,
let's talk about how they're back to being the champions.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
The Warriors can still go out in the first round,
and then the storyline is the end of the Warriors dynasty.
With everybody back and everybody healthy, and here's everybody and
they can't get out of the first round of the
playoffs against Sacramento, a series that everybody wanted to hand
to them at to be a oh Golden state. Look
at that. They're the champs. They won some they won
four titles. Sacramento is really good, but they're new to
(10:43):
the playoffs. They're gonna wilt under pressure. The Warriors will
be able to use that champions mentality and take a
game away from home and win everything at home. Well, yeah,
they won a game away from home and they gave
it back tonight, and the Kings were the best team
out there when the Warriors are going for a closer.
So get me stop a little bit with the all.
Look at the Warriors. I know that people want to
say great things about them all the time. They always
(11:03):
want to say great things about Steph and Clay and
what a great leader Draymond is, even when he's being
a knucklehead and deserves a suspension. But I really want
to say good things about No, say accurate things. The
accurate thing is the era of the Warriors could be
over in one more game. It could continue, but it
could be over in one more game. So let's realize
that's kind of where things are.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Boy, it's like you just started in sports talk radio.
I know this wild pendulum has been there for have
you not paid attention when it's the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But it's only in the NBA playoffs where every game
it's I need to say something really intelligent and and
and cut through about the NBA about these two games
last night.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
And what can I possibly say? Right?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Like, it's easy to do it during the NFL. C
is easy to do because teams play once a week, right,
teams play once a week. Right, It's hard to do
in the NBA players when it's every other game and
it's such a deal for one game, And how do
I find what to say? I'm gonna give a team
a championship after they're up to one in the first round.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
You just take whoever's playing.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
The juts Now, I will say, that's the one thing
that the help's going back to your analogy is that
in the NBA, and it makes the work a little
harder unless they have the Arian Foster script. Is that
it's not like a certain book series where it was always,
oh again, it was the professor that was supposed to
help us against the dark arts. Oh that guy, Oh,
(12:31):
I didn't see that coming.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
How come they can't that guy can't keep that job?
Why can't they keep it? The evil future?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
The hell's wrong?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Why are they so easily tricked if they're supposed to
be the guys that are supposed to be helping us
to defend this house.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Out on OutKick with his latest and of course he
is a haul of very good voter.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Most of his books now been written by AI. We
found that out as well, but he joined us now
on the hot line.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
It makes things easier, things go faster when you're right
with AI. Okay, it's natural. Yeah, right, Yeah, there has
been a very good draft. It's a very very good draft.
Good for you, Jason Smith. This is the greatest draft
(14:19):
of Jets history. I will say that, right. Sure, we
got a draft week.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yes, we got Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
We got a guy named McDonald because I love McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
It doesn't get any better than this.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Is that did you draft Norm McDonald's kid or something
like that?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
We we did, we we we drafted to McDonald again.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Uh you know, thirty five years after he played, We
drafted to McDonalds. Yes, dude, how much of my loving
life Rogers is all saying all the best things New York.
He's working out and Jets gear already I wanted to
be a Jet. It was the Jets and nobody.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
You're great, You're you're that, You're that guy who was
basically who was that crazy looking dude with the hair
who wore the belt in the first insurance adds with
him you're that guy. Hey, Rock, that's who you are
right now, That's exactly who you are. Rogers and they
(15:20):
got the belt on the whole thing. Now every week
you're going to scream at least once Rock.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Gosh, he's been doing it all week. J Cole and
I got to say, going into the draft, I was
a bit disappointed that both the Rogers and Lamar Jackson's
situations were resolved before the commissioner came out to get booed.
I was really hoping we'd have some more drama.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Well, actually the NFL was quite happy with it since
they didn't have to talk about tampering. But yeah, that's
a whole different thing now.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
They wouldn't talk about it anyway.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Nothing to see here, Yeah, just everybody walk away Rogers
contra everybody walking Antonio Brown crazy. Well that's normal, we
do that every week. I thought, Look, the Rogers thing,
we all knew that was going to happen. The Lamar
Jackson thing, I'm not surprised at because he eventually had
to get something done and they needed you know, they
(16:17):
needed to get it done too, because they had to
make a decision. Okay, are we doing the one year
deal with him, or are we going to this draft
where we have to think about taking one of these
quarterbacks in the second or third round, or maybe even
the first depending on how things look. They have a
really important decision to make, and so you know, ultimately
he's gotta get done. As we all found out, Lamar
(16:38):
had no leverage to get anything better than what he's
basically been offered for the last year and a half,
which you know, there's nothing that needs at Like it's
one hundred and eighty six million dollars. You know, that's
the heck of a contract and has paid quarterback for now.
You know, I mean in about two weeks, Patrick Mahome,
you're going to redo his deal and you know he'll
(16:59):
be at fifty three or whatever the number has to be.
But you know, fifty plus million and one hundred and
eighty six eight. You know, he's got generational wealth. Now
everything's taken care of. He can even you know, afford
to put Antonio Brown on the contract, on the payroll himself.
You know, you know, it made me.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
And that was my big thing today J Cole is
that like this is where like the new Twitter has
really upset me because it took me five minutes to
try to figure out is Antonio Brown a Raven or not?
Like I don't know, like he tweets out in a
Jersey Okay, he obviously signed there, But then I got
to try to find it and seems to and it
takes me five minutes to find out.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Because new Twitter is is is to all? And what
the jokes hadn't started fast enough for you?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I like the he just liked his blue check marks.
Now that that has become a wild West in that regard,
he feels a bit lost.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Now I got to look and see it. Who has it?
Is this?
Speaker 5 (17:54):
You know?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Does somebody have it? Does are the Ravens tweet?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
They have it?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
All?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Right? What about Blazer? What about chef sir? You know?
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Nope? Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. He ab is all
alone on this one, as much as he is on
pretty much everything that's going on in his.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Life right now.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Hey, now, I know one big thing you were hot
on on the draft. You were not hot on Will
Levis leaving the draft, and you even you even said
you would wait till you would have waited till a
third round of draft him.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
At this point, Oh absolutely, I mean, look, things are
going to get really ugly here during your career, right,
You're going to have bad days. If you think this
is such a bad day that you can't show up
for the next round, I got a problem with your
mental forty two to answer this scheme, Like, you know,
(18:45):
I remember Dan Marino. You know the story is about
Marino from his rookie year. Not that I covered that year,
but you know from his rookie year where he threw
like three interceptions in a game or it was it
was eighty four. Don Strock was his backup and Marina
is coming off the field. He thinks he sucks. It's awful.
He's thrown three yard ficks. You know something's gone wrong here.
(19:07):
His confidence is lost and he walks in and Strock
looks at him and goes, man, that really sucked. This
is a teammate telling him like, hey, welcome to the NFL,
Like the other guys are really good. Okay, So if
you're not ready for that, and again, if you're not
(19:29):
ready for the fact that, oh poor baby, you didn't
go in the first round and you can't show up
for the second day, I got a problem with you.
I really do. And I think there's plenty of talent
there and all these other things, and you know, for
whatever reason he felt, you know, I've heard no legitimate reason,
(19:50):
and the toad thing just sounds silly to me. That
would have come out weeks ago. Sorry, you know, like
people would have floated that a long time ago. But
you know, like, hang in there, dude. I mean, I
will say this, I don't understand, Tennessee, if you're going
to trade up for him on day two, why didn't
(20:11):
you do that at the end of day one, where
you know, you moved up a couple of more spots
and you would have had control of the kid for
the fifth year. Yeah, like that was a that's a
bad strategic move. You should have done that. I mean,
you're not going Kansas is not going to help you,
clearly with the last pick. But there were a couple
(20:31):
of the teams at the end of the end of
the first round where you could have snuck up and
taken you know, you could have taken Levis there. If
you're going to take him at where they take him
at thirty four, you should take him at you know,
thirty or thirty one or twenty nine. Whatever you got
to do.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
See, we talked about it from the Lewis side of
why this was good for him, and now we get
the you know, the balance put out here Jason Cole
with us here Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
Oh, I think it's great. Yeah, I will say this.
I think it's a good location for Levis, you know, like,
oh yeah, as long as they keep Derrick Henry and
don't do something stupid and trade him. I mean that's
a terrific place to be.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
That would have been done already, right right, no, uh,
never know. Well, speaking of doing something stupid and out
of the order job last night, I you know, we
the world stopped as it looked like Houston actually worked
with some competency. Yeah, you might not like the compensation
going back to go go get Anderson, but it looked
(21:29):
like they actually had some football acumen in the room
and some direction in purpose for the first time in
a while. Jacob.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Yeah, it also looks like to me, an argument where
the head coach was sitting here saying I want Anderson
no matter what, that's my guy, that's the guy I
want to build around, which is a perfectly legitimate thing
to do if you're to Meeka ryants right and why
are we You know, like he probably stood on a
table and said, I want this guy more than I
(21:58):
want the quarterback, and everybody else there said, hey, look,
we got to get a quarterback to build around for
the next ten years. So to satisfy the coach, to
make him happy and make it feel everything is on board,
he did have to overpay to go go ahead and
get Anderson, So you just go ahead and do it right.
Otherwise you can wait in the draft a little bit
(22:20):
and not have to pay as much of a premium.
But to me, it's this smacked of make your head
coach happy while also getting a guy that you think
can be a franchise quarterback, and you certainly hope that
he's going to be a franchise quarterback. Certainly if you
don't believe in the other two guys.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Did you confirm that he had a yellow sticky note
like Kevin Coosterer that said Anderson no matter what.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
No, I can't confirm that, but I do believe that
he was watching draft day earlier in the day and
came up with all the strategies for what he wanted
to do.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
You am surprised that you I'm surprised. I really is that?
Speaker 5 (22:59):
You know? I was in Draft A by the way,
you're in Draft day. Yeah, for like maybe a three miloseconds.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Okay, who are you?
Speaker 5 (23:08):
If you if you blink no, I'm gone. And I
might have gotten edited out on the on whatever the
whatever turner station it's on where it plays. I'm probably
edited out. That's my guess, Mike.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You see Draft A eight billion times. Where's Jason colling it?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Well, there's a billion gaggle of reporter scenes.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Yeah, trust me, I'm I'm in the background scenes and
in uh in uh in the theater in New York.
That's that's where I am. That's like I said, you
blink no, he's gone, or you cut, you know, cut
even two seconds of the film. I'm gone. So that's it.
(23:53):
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
You know what I always if you know, every every
Christmas Eve, someone puts on Twitter, Hey, Terrorists of Season
Knockotomy Plaza and downtown LA and people fall for it
and think it's real and it is something we hear
that it's Hans Gruber, this Big ten. They show a picture.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Alan Rickman and everything else.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I can't believe on Draft Day that people don't fall
for Hey.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
The the the.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
The Browns have just traded three second round picks to
the Jaguars and their rookie GM makes a big move
down there, and people don't go crazy.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Ever, why do we make this trade? I can't believe that.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I can't believe we don't get more people with draft
day plotline.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Weird. That would really that would be pretty awesome if
we did that. I'm thinking, well, maybe let's try and
pull that one off next year. That would be that
would be entertaining. I will say what to transition a
little bit. The most entertaining moment of this entire draft
was with a key On White, the kid who was
taking number forty six by by the Patriots, who had
(24:55):
the look on his face like, you know, like his
entire family, you know, like I just you know, didn't
killed like it was it was awful, Like he was
like it was like it was the most uncomfortable reaction
I've ever seen. He was just absolutely nonplus by the
whole moment. I was like, I was thinking, Belichick's probably
(25:17):
looking at that going. Kid looks fired up. Love it.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
He nods, he extends his hand for a handshake. It's like, Yep,
this is where I need to be. It's my kind
of guy. Understated, just nods and maybe mumbles a couple
of words.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
It works.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
He was channeling his inner Belichick more than any human being.
That was such a pure Belichick moment. It really was
like everybody'shooting the Hollierys, They're giving him high fives, everybody's
starting to cry. He's just like, yeah, yep, I was
the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Look, you know, you know Belichick was mad because what
he wanted to do was trade all the picks to
get eleven seventh round picks and draft all players from
the Patriot League.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Like that's all he wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I'm gonna draft people from from the IVY League and
the Patriot legue.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
This is what I want.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I want guys to play D three last year. This
is what we're gonna take all seventh.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Rounds because he's gonna take his team, which right now
looks like it's gonna finish last place in that division
this year does not look promising, and say, let's develop
an excuse for why this happened.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, but they'll still beat the Jets twice. They'll finish last,
They'll still find a way to beat the Jets.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
They'll intercept Rogers like six times in the two games combined,
or six times in each game Rogers.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
What are you doing? Rogers game? We brought you into?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Oh boy, So what did you like most out of
day one? What was the thing that move that said, ah,
this is shrewd.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
He liked Rogers, That's what he liked Rogers.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Rogers. Trude certainly taken Jahn Carter there is really is
a great pick, because I mean, I don't know if
there's other stuff in Jayn Carr's past which is the
reason why he's fallen like this. And I'm not trying
to say that this incident that you know, the speeding
incident is not a significant thing to people that are
(27:16):
dead right, and this is this is very serious, okay,
But I've seen other things where it was longer term
habitual behavior by players that you know, like didn't get
discussed as much as this one. Right, It's and I
(27:37):
was I was sort of wondering myself to myself, there
has to be again, not that this is not a
significant incident in and of itself, but I thought for
him to fall this far with all of his talent,
there has to be something else. But he's a truly
great player, and they put him with the other kid,
(27:59):
Jordan Davis, Like this is their defensive line. They lost
Hardgrave and like they don't take a step back at all.
In fact, they might be better today defensive line wise
than they were a year ago. And that's saying quite
a bit. I didn't like. I will say this, I
didn't quite get Detroit's decision to go and take running
(28:24):
back without having a deal in place for Swift already. Like,
if you're going to do that and you're making that declaration,
you've got to trade Swift, like either right before you
do that or right after, because now Swift has much
less value, right, So that one I do. I'm really
fascinated by Atlanta and trying to build around a running
(28:45):
back and saying if they can, Yeah, if Arthur Smith
can build around or running back the same way he
built around Derrick Henry that offense in Tennessee. I'm that
those were the ones that really intrigued me, those kinds
of close moves.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Check him out on out Kick on Twitter at Jason
Cole sixty two. That's at Jason Cole sixty two.
Speaker 2 (29:08):

Aaron Rodgers, in which case your kid you're his parents,
in which it is that great.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
That's out.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
Yeah, but you don't talk. You don't talk to him
anymore because he doesn't talk to his parents anymore.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
He's still great stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Yeah, parents still with me. He's a great quarterback. I mean,
you can't. You might not.

I don't know? Since Jackson audience went on, Wait, since
who's an audience, Jack Nicholson, Ryan.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Is an audience?
Speaker 4 (30:33):
So you run the Yeah, hello, Clarry, it's one of
his greatest roles.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
You know what it was? Yes, it was, it was.
He was so good in that.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I believe it.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Arry, I ate his liver with fava beans and talk
about these rests.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
You want to investigate me, You investigate.
Speaker 3 (30:52):

Speaker 4 (30:55):
Just the fact that I go from a hannibal to

Speaker 5 (30:58):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
It is really all right?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Which ones of you twos is gonna tell him that
Anthony Hopkins that way?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I was about to, and then I realized, no, no, wait, no,
there's no way. Let me stop and not do it, dude,
Anthony Hopkins, Jack Nicholson, two different people.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
No, there's no way, No, yeah, what do you mean?
Speaker 5 (31:14):
There's no way?
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Guy, He's an actor, two completely different people. He just
plays different people.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
He undergoes that's what actors do, reconstruction, each face off.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
I get him.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like Robert Dowdy Chu and you're in
Tropic Thunder, Yes, yes, right, yes, yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Two.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
That's what actors do, is they play other people. However,
Jack Nicholson and Anthony Hopkins's person are too completely different,
which you just described. Yeah, it makes sense neither of them.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Played each other in the story of their lives that that.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Didn't well, not yet yet.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
No, No, I mean yeah, well I think that I
think the ship has sailed on both of those.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
I think it'll come out.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I think it is.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
What if I were to tell you that's actually Anthony
Hopkinson in couragainnight, you just blew.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
My mind and you know how to tie it all
to Yeah, I saw a great mashup that somebody did
of the song good Goodbye Horses and that as the
music plays its scenes from the nineteen sixty six Batman Show,
including the bat two scene and Batman Truly.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Uh So we have what's happening right now in the
NBA Playoffs for about two minutes from halftime, and the
Lakers on top of Memphis by fifteen fifty five forty
Grizzly is trying to claw their way back in this
a little bit to get it probably as well, hopefully there,
hopefully getting it to ten by halftime, but thank just
(32:41):
trip shock.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah, yeah, they're gonna need to have the fire of
the cocaine bear in the second half to make this run.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
So that's where we sit right now with this. But look,
a big night for the NFL Draft. Obviously we saw
the second and third round and we saw Will Levis
get picked. We'll have more on him coming up in
a few minutes. But well, the last couple of days,
you know, a lot we've seen the big wide receivers
being taken and not so much, not so much even
from a fantasy perspective, but just on a on the
(33:10):
field perspective, the the big receivers Jay Flowers, and and
and Quentin Johnson and UH Smith and Jigma and and
UH Jordan Addison, none of them went to a place
where they're gonna be ones. It's kind of weird that
they've all gone to situations where, hey, you're now part
(33:30):
of a big stable of wide receivers, right because you
have Smith, the Jigma now with with Lockett and and
DK Metcalf, you have Quentin Johnson. A very crowded wide
receiver room with the Chargers Zay Flowers. Maybe you could
say he's got the closest path to success, Yes, because
of Odell not being Odell, but Jordan Addison.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
He's great, But how many passes is he really gonna catch?
Speaker 1 (33:52):
I mean, you Knowseph Jefferson's gonna catch a thousand passes
a year.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
So it's really tough because all these teams.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Ye, yeah, it's it's really tough because all these teams
kind of just got richer at the wide receiver position.
If you're asking me which one I like the most
long term, I would say Quinton Johnson just because he
seems like he has the the biggest path to long
term dominant bolts where it's gonna be the end for
Keenan Allen. Mike Williams has always been a really good
(34:20):
number two complimentary receiver.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
But Johnson's that guy.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
He's big, he's a big targets kind of like got
a little bit of Calvin Johnson him a little bit,
And I would say long term, he's gotta be the
guy with the with the biggest big play, big game potential.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Yeah, just make sure you put the T in when
you put it on Twitter He's the guy that you're
gonna see a lot of him. Ellen and Williams can't
stay healthy and maybe changing out the trainer will help.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Sorry, watch your mouth, I got I gotta call it
like it is. I don't spout lies here and hyperberly.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
I'm just calling it what it is. Those guys have
missed a lot of time.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
You're leading receiver last year was Austin Eckler by a
mile in terms of targets, so you might see more
of him. I like the guys like Tank Dell and
Jalen highly going to Houston and to the Giants, respectively.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
They can play big roles immediately.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
We'll have more of the draft coming up next.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Keep it right here, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon live from
