(01:09):
about Shannon Sharp sex life.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Wow, that's it good. I know Paul Hayman has some thoughts.
Come I'll Trestlemania weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I know I know way more about Shannon sharp sex
life than I ever wanted to over the last time.
When is the docu series? I mean, I mean, there's
there's evid, there's videos, there's there's there's all kinds of
everything is out there. Everything we know.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
It might be the only Hollywood production still going on
here over here in the valley. They might have a
film in the works.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I feel like this is this is this is one
of those scandals that both sides are racing to release
the stuff so people can hear it like this is insane.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Well that's it. Just keep feeding more and more information.
Here's your overla, parse it out and try to figure out.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Usual where you land. Usually it's hey, nobody wants the details.
I know everybody. Let's get the detail. Let's get them
all out. Let's get let's everybody. One side gets back. No,
the other side wants to get.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
It out more.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
We're gonna get out. We're gonna get now. We're this
this I mean, I I look at the Shannon Sharp
story and I go, this is the decline and fall
of Western civilization, part three. This is the decline. We
had the TV, we had the movie in the eighties
with the heavy metal, and now this is part three?
Wasn't there part three? Didn't they already do one? No,
we take that. I don't think anybody saw it. Wow,
that's a whole other question. I mean it's it's like,
(02:21):
you know, did they really did they do Hangover four?
There was u was there a Hangover four?
Speaker 4 (02:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Okay, you should wash your mouth out for just saying,
are they still doing like this? It's up to Descendants five?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Now?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Is that what it is? Descendants five? Descendence? They just
had what is it the Red Queen or something like
that Red Hulk that was a new event. No, no, no,
it's a different person. That wasn't That wasn't as terrible
as I thought. I thought the Red Hulk and the
Red Queen together, maybe that's the next movie.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Would have been a good my end Listen. Nineteen ninety
eight was a decline of Western civilization. This is part
this is this is already this is more five. No, no,
this is already this, This supersedes that.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I mean, this just comes.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Back to the age of all right, until there are
criminal you know, charges, to the point where you're convicted,
just let it play out, okay, right, I mean that
that's kind of where we're at. You want to put
him on TV, put him on TV. I mean, it
was gonna be the one hundred million dollars man, wasn't
He wasn't that the last Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, one hundred million dollar guy. Now it's a hundred
million going the other way. So, getting set for the
Lakers Game two against the Tea Wolves, all of a sudden,
maybe now this is the year they should run with
the Hey, you know, the Anthony Edwards Michael Jordan storyline
might actually be better now than it was a year ago.
We really forced it so much, but uh, Michael Jordan
never get fined that much. But that game coming up
(03:41):
will of course keep you updated throughout the night tonight.
The Lakers need to tie this series up going back
to Minnesota. Meanwhile, earlier we saw the thunderbeat the Grizzlies
one eighteen ninety nine. No surprise there. And uh, but
here I am all ready to make a coaching change
for next season. I'm all ready to make one because
I know what's gonna happen. Didn't we already kill this
(04:02):
guy off? I'm year, I know it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
The Pacers lead the Bucks two games to none. Yep,
they win it one twenty three one point fifteen. Uh,
Siakam and Trent get into a little bit of a
scuffle back and forth during this one, and the Bucks
and Doc Rivers now down twos. It like I throw
Duck Radock Rivers in there. The Bucks and Doc Rivers
down Two's it been this series? Number one? It's gonna
(04:25):
be tough because Doc can't say, oh well, not gonna
blame me for blowing the three to one series. Lya
this time? Can't do it? What are all my critic's
gonna say? Now, I can't blow it three? Oh he
doesn't blow three to one series? We're down oh two?
What do you think about that? You have nothing to
say to you? We're down oh two?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Keep quiet, Yeah, I'm winning. Winning how many times it's
been a sweat? We're gonna get to that pretty damn
quick to where this is going. Uh but yeah, I mean,
look that's where we're at. Look, Damian Lillard makes his
return to I clearly not the same Damian Lillard coming
back from from the blood clot.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Great to see him back. I mean that's the number
one thing. Great to see him back that because what
he's suffering through and Wemby, it's not these aren't injuries.
These are these are serious medical conditions. And to see
Damian Lillard come back as fast as he has is
a great, great story, and you know, but clearly not
the not the same player yet. He's gonna need to
ramp back up into basketball shape. But I'll tell you
(05:20):
what I'm already not only am I gonna make a
coaching change, I'll tell you who's gonna get the job. Okay,
So who's doc Rivers lead doc Rivers? So I realized
that did I spoil it? Might just leave. I might
just leave. I don't know, I like to I might
do the George Costanza. You can't fire him if you
can't find me. So maybe I just go on vacation,
(05:41):
believe it or not do using at home doc rivers
because this is just I mean, look, it's not getting
any better for this thought though. It's not. Yeah, yeah,
first half was it? And they literally like it was, yes, yeah,
literally did.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
But it was another one of those situations like they're
gonna play some defense, aren't they.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
They're gonna play a little bit of defense. And then
they fought back.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
They end up Blue using by eighth, but they at
least put up a fight.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I mean they lost by eight, and Bobby Porters went
for twenty eight and twelve off the bench tonight. I
mean twenty eight and twelve and you lost. He's still playing, Oh, yes,
he is. He's gonna be ten years, He'll still be playing.
He'll still be coming off the bench. Bobby still still
say Bobby Portter's former Bull and Knicks still Bobby ports.
(06:24):
I mean, look, is there anything that's gonna happen. I'll
give you this lead pipe. Certain I'll give you this
this NBA playoff guarantee. The head coach of the Milwaukee
Bucks next year is Mike Malone. Oh sorry, Michael Malone.
Oh you got it right, Michael, Yeah, I mean you
got Mike. You know he's the job right now. He's
the head coach of the Bucks next season, right because
it clearly look you're you're continuing to waste the prime
(06:47):
of Giannis. Look, they get to the mountaintop and they win,
but they've not been able to keep it going since
and you have a lot of issues. Obviously, it's not
been anything close to what you envision when you got
Damian Lillard and you thought we're gonna run rough shot
over the Eastern Conference. Instead you have watched at least
three teams pass you by in the Eastern, maybe four
teams have passed you by in the East.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Overall.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
That's not good man. So you know what change is coming.
But who's got the experience of coaching a big superstar,
a big in the middle, had to respect won a championship. Yeah,
Michael Malone's gonna come in and get this job over Doc.
Because someone's gonna come in. You need a little bit
of a hard ass now, right, You got to follow
a player's coach, kinda with a hard ass coach, and
not that Doc isn't always the most players of coaches,
(07:30):
but still you need a couple of different philosophies. And
Malone coming in, that's the guy. Who else you're gonna
get guy won a championship two years ago and he's out. Okay,
maybe he's humbled a little bit and I got to
come in. But they need someone to grab a hold
of this of this program and say, okay, this is
what we need to be because right now the Bucks
it's like they just go out there and play. You
had Kyle Kuzma, who was a really dynamic player. And
(07:54):
at least he scored in this game. At least he
scored twelve in this game. He didn't go zero zero
zero zero zero zero zero zero.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You have kind of feel bad for him in that game, though,
hoof just a little bit like twenty two minutes and
nary at stat to be found. That's almost impossible. It's
only ten guys on the damn court. The ball had
to hit you in the hands at some point on accident.
Is that count? As an assistant bounced off his head
to a teammate, does that count?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
The favorite earlier in this season, when it looked like
Doc might have been on the hot seat was Terry Stotts.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Okay, so you've got him.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
You you go over and look at some of the
other would be wizards on benches elsewhere. I mean, then
Mark d'antoni's still up there, Manti Williams. So there's there's guys.
How excitable you are about any of them? I don't know,
but certainly.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Sure not yet, not yet soon though maybe well we
called that one about six weeks ago time ago.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I did like there was a thing going around though,
where there was a great camera angle on TIBs where
it looked like.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
He'd had a hair restoration.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Okay, all of a sudden it looked like he was
walking with a full head of lettuce and it was
just the way it blended in the background of him.
But you know, he might need that, he could show
a renewed, youthful appearance to give him that shot at
that next gig.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Look, and I'll say this because we were both off
last night. We had, you know, night with all our
families at California Adventure with iHeart. Was a great night
last night. You and I were there, Justin was there,
Alex Tischert was there. Thanks ninety eight seven.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
And.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
You know the Nicks lose and you know all the
how are you? How are Jason? Oh my god, how
do you have? And I'm honest with I'm honest with
you right now. I am absolutely fine because because you
had a turo because well, no, because I did have.
I did have Shwarma last night saved the world. Then
swarma is because I have zero expectations for this next team.
(10:04):
I told you I had zero and that this is
not their year. The roster did not come together. And
I'll tell you this much. The guy following TIBs out
the door if they lose this round of the Pistons
is mcal Bridges, and it's going to be this is
how we revamp the team for next year is taking
one of the stars because it's starting five is in credity.
Put together an incredible starting five. It's not gelling like
(10:24):
you would expect. And mcal Bridges is not someone that's
seen the basketball enough. He's had a tough time getting hot.
He has games where he absolutely disappears, and he is
your most marketable asset that will bring back what you
need to complete this team, because it's just how they
have it now. It's this iron man basketball of Hey,
we're going to have the five stars out there as
(10:45):
much as possible. There's still not enough flow and sometimes
there's not enough touches for Karl Anthony Towns, and trying
to get too many people involved is really difficult. And
when Brunson's has the ball most of the time and
it's he and Kat all right, you're trying to bring
another scorer in here that's not working and Unobe with
his three and D is great. Josh Hart finds his
spots right that's but the Bridges thing is a really
(11:07):
difficult thing. And they traded five number one picks for him.
So so following TIBs out the door, if the Knicks
lose to the Pistons, is gonna is gonna be Michal
Bridges because that's the only way they get a couple
of pieces that can either supplement or work better with
what they have, because you just have a collection of
talent right now with the Knicks. And I thought, oh,
this is gonna come to It's gonna be unbelievably awesome.
And now it's like, oh, you know, they'll win. They'll
(11:28):
beat the teams that are about as good as them
and not quite as good, but the team's better than them,
forget it, right, Like I mean, and again, I have
no expect and I'm not saying no, no, no. The
Mets I have big time expectations for and I'm like, okay,
now I'm I'm gripping my ass off this year because
this is now, this is We're we have the best
record in baseball. We're not even hitting yet, and this
is it. But the Knicks, I'm like, yeah, whatever, man,
(11:50):
what they have. I have zero expectation whatever happened to
the If they win the series, great, it's a bonus, right,
That's how I look at a bonus. Now, what's gonna
likely happen is I'm sure they're gonna they're gonna win,
are gonna lose this series? And then somehow the Celtics
will get upset and the Caves will get upset and
it'll be oh, it's there for us. That's climply how
it works for the mix. But like, if they get
out of here, great, If not, okay, I I zero
(12:12):
expectations for the.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Jason Tatum doubtful for the next game, the Celtics with
that wrist injury where they said, let him get up himself.
He's really hurt, get up, rub it off. So it's
that curiosity will watch you and continue to monitor your
heart rate, uh and your your angst akstiness. Then the
Mets helping you quite a bit because yesterday, I mean
(12:36):
as Justin is wont to do to poke the bear,
as as the Knicks go down and defeat.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, but the Mets one jerk. I gonna look at
the positives, right, I gonna, if I line.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
For a ride, have its one.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
The Philly is all good. Man, all good, it's.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Like, but it comes back to the ability of a
squad because you got health for the most part.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
For your ex is seventeen. Hell great, if you get sixty.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Five in this day and age in the NBA, yeah,
that means you had a healthy year, right. But when
you're playing with such a short rotation, those guys are
on heavy minutes and now you try to extend that
into play. It's a lot easier to shrink it down
and just say, hey you you got used to your
twelve minutes in the regular season. You got nothing now,
versus hey, you ready to come off the bench.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
What's my role? Don't know? Remember, because when Brunson suddenly
was out, everybody's standing around. Look at who's taking it,
who's getting the ball on the inbound don't know? Zero?
Expect that's it. Expect nothing. You'll never be disappointed. See
that's not expecting nothing. I'm expecting nothing. It's all good.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Expect lifetime of your sports, your sports life, and my
sports life.

Speaking of Yeah, we had some big talk today that
maybe the Browns and the Giants looking a trade out
of the second and third selections of the draft. The
(17:25):
Titans and know that we're good. We're staying at number one.
We took them phone call for good. We're feeling okay?
Is twenty thousand? Looks when when Kem Warden said the
best running backs in the NFL were the guys on
our team, we figured we need to draft the guy.
But could we see some move right now? Every team
has their first round pick? Will that change? Joining us
now on the hotline, longtime NFL insider. You can see
(17:47):
him on Odyssey, read them on the Washington Post. Listen
to him one of five seven the Fan Baltimore. That's
like every single way you can get to somebody TV
watching listening reading it's about all right. We got all
the senses engaged. It is Jason locking for it. Jay,
what's happening?
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Man?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I'll be happy when this thing's over. I gotta be
honest with you.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, but that yeah, But here's the thing, though, I
know the Orioles aren't playing well, so you're gonna be
focused more on the Orioles on your radio show.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I don't know, man, it's it's low IQ bad baseball, man,
I don't know. It's not great to talk about. But
they'll be mediocre enough, like the problem is that they
won't be just truly horrific, Like they're going to be
mediocre enough that it's kind of like it's interesting and
(18:40):
people won't get fired like they should, and changes won't
be made like they should because you know, they've expanded
the playoffs and you can keep convincing the new owner
that we're still in it. I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Well, let's get to some more certainty easier. Let's let's
look at Thursday, then the door, the week, the week
we're gonna get by. H do you believe the Browns
and the Giants can move from two to three or
is this.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Just most this is just what we do two days
before the draft. I mean people are calling each other.
I don't think that qualifies as news. It's it's what happens.
People set their boards over the weekend and then they start,
you know, talking to other teams and exchanging ideas, and
it goes from kind of being everybody in their silo
too much more of a sort of ongoing dialogue. And
(19:29):
that's part of why you see betting markets crystallized, and
you start to see the kite. The kind of value,
a potential value that was there a week ago, two
weeks ago, a month ago, disappeared for a lot of
these picks, and it basically becomes you put up a
whole bunch of money to win your money back, because
that's that's all you're that's all you're doing, because these
(19:51):
these things are kind of they kind of are what
they are. And I think the first really, for me,
really the first five picks are pretty well set now
and I don't think there's going to be a trade
that changes that. I don't think we're going to see
nearly as many trades as we normally do. Certainly the
pace of the conversations have been slower. There's less of
(20:15):
a consensus on who really the top players are, and
it's harder to think that you know your guy Kenner
can't be there because a lot of these opinions are
more all over the place. I don't think it's as
deep and blue chip players at most key positions. There's
a lot of other drafts, but it has boodles of depth,
which is another reason why people are not that inclined
(20:38):
to trade picks to give away, you know, or a
part with some of these Day two and early Day
three picks where they think they can really do some damage.
So I do think somebody will trade into the back
end of the first round for a quarterback, and it
stands the reason there'll be another trade or two where
people flop spots and unless there deals. But I don't
(20:58):
think we're going to have blockbuster players, but you'll get
dealt But even a Trey Hendrickson, I don't think you're
getting a one straight up for him. So a lot
of those trades might not happen until Day two because
they're probably only gonna involve Day two picks at Thursday night. No,
I don't anticipate much trade action, certainly not in the
top three.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
All right, so let's do this. Then I'll go through
the I'll start with pick one and then we'll stop
and you go from where you think the picks are
gonna go when you disagree. Ready, okay, all right? So
number one cam Ward Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Keep going, okay.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Number two Travis Hunter, Cleveland, ramblelong, okay. Number three the
Giants Abdul Carter proceed. Okay. Number four the Patriots, Oh boy, yeah,
they break the Jets heart and they go with Membu
out of Missouri.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I think it's probably can Well. I think it's probably
the other offensive lineman.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yeah, okay. And then five Jacksonville, Oh boy, five, make
some Graham Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I think it's shiny, it's Genty or Graham, but I
would I believe it's.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Sent Oh okay, I like that him seeking in the
top five go out of their work to make that happen.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Do you.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
The Raiders don't try to do something to get up
to get Genty?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I don't think so. I mean, it's not out of
the Roman possibility, but like, I don't know, Like I
think I just have a hunch that they take McMillan,
and that they make their offense better that way, and
that they think they can get a pretty good back
at the top of the second round. But this receiver class,
(22:47):
you know, and there's not even uniformity about the top
three and how how high those ceilings may be. But
I've just had this theory, and I've run it by
some people who are on other teams, and they don't
think I'm crazy. That this is tom Brady's pick, and
tom Brady sees the game through the eyes of a quarterback.
And tom Brady, you know, for the better part of
his first twenty years in the league, was under a
(23:09):
guy's thump who didn't want to do anything for his offense,
who wanted Tom Brady to do more with less, and
who was you know, would never give tom Brady this
kind of capital in the first round on a pass catcher,
you know, even Gronk, you got him lower than you
probably should have because of you know, concerns about his
body even then. And so yeah, I just think Tom
(23:32):
Brady and they've already got a bruck Bowers. You know,
if they didn't have a Bowers, then I would say
that they jump all over one. But I just have
a theory that he's trying to build a monster there
for Gino and that's his call way more than it's
Pete Carroll's, and that that McMillan kid he thinks is
the best wide receiver in this in.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
This draft interesting because I would have doubled up and
gone back to what he had and you know, the
human must not be named in Aaron Hernandez alongide, So
you'd have the dual tight ends to go out there
and dominate.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I mean, that would that would be something. I just
think that they feel like those parts of the field
are already pretty well covered and we need people to
you know, to compliment that we're looking for a little
different skill set. Yeah, woe. We'll see.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Does Kirk Cousins get traded day one or day two?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
I mean he gets traded in the next like he
gets traded his offseason. I don't believe it has to
happen this weekend. It's complicated. He's got a full note trade,
you know, the how willing are the Falcons to negotiate
the sort of rework the contract they're going to have
to do facilitated trade. But are those conversations that are
going to be going on, you know, while all this
(24:46):
activities going on during the draft. I mean, you can
walk and treat come at the same time. But I
don't think that trade is I don't think it's it's
sort of incumbent on them getting this year's draft picks
for him. If that's what it was all about, this
should have already been done. They should have, you know,
stopped being fools about not wanting to eat any of
(25:08):
the money to get a real pick in return, and
it should have already been done. So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Jason Locking for NFL inside of our guest Jason Smith,
Mike Carmon Lot from the tirec dot Com studios. All right,
fill in the blank here for me. Well, that's what
it would take to get it. When it's all said
and done. Shador Sanders is on what team? And what
round does he go in?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Oh, come on round tomorrow night. I right now would
say twenty one to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, yeah, I'm with you. I'm completely with you. And
they walk in. Mike Toma gets to walk around like
he's the smartest guy in the room. See, look at
what I did, Look at what I did. I did.
There's a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Well, look, I don't think he gets past my Tomlin.
I'll put it that way. I think Mike Tomlin's very
comfortable with him. I think that some of the brashness
and boldness and whatever that other people could talk themselves
out of, I think Mike tom would have no problem
sort of harnessing and using to his advantage. They obviously
(26:14):
have an overt needt at quarterback. And I started picking
up over the weekend talking to coaches and gms and
and you know, you know, doubts evaluators. So I mean,
too many people being convinced that Tellen Moore really does
have a fixation on Jackson Die and that the Saints
(26:37):
are in fact inclined to go that way. No one knows, right,
I mean, like you, no, very few people actually know
inside that building. And sometimes these things are completely right,
and sometimes there are smoke that's done out there that
people believe, and sometimes it was right until an owner
or somebody else stepped in and said, no, that's not
(26:58):
what we're going to do. So no one would sit there,
you know, rival gms and say we absolutely know that pick.
But there are people who you know, to the best
of their determination for their internal draft boards and mock drafts.
They think Jackson Dark is the pick at nine. So
I'm who am I to say? No?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Does Jerry Jones upset the apple cart to prove and
shut everybody up and to prove to himself that he's
still the smartest.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Guy in the room by doing what would he make it?
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Make it a giant trade? You know, one of those picks.
Let's go for Broke.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
For who who is this draft would like for Travis Haunk.
I mean, I mean that would be the only person
that I think you could really make the case he
doesn't need a quarterback. He just gave a guy sixty
million dollars a year, sure but grudgingly, but he did it. No,
(27:57):
I would be really surprised if he. I just think
he still is where he is and he probably takes
a wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
He's on Twitter at Jason lock and four that is
at Jason Locke and four. Check him out on Odyssey
one oh five seven the fan in Baltimore, Washington Post.
Jay has always buddy appreciated man, enjoyed the draft on Thursday.
We'll talk to you always, my pleasure, Thank you, jason Ny.
There he goes now I'm telling you, man, it's gonna
wind up. It's like I put it out in the
universe that that somehow Shador Sanders is gonna fall to
(28:24):
the Steelers and Mike Tomlin's gonna get to walk around
like see all he doubted me, think I didn't know
what I was doing, which they don't. Oh, we're gonna win.
I'm telling you it's gonna wind up happening, and Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh is like that kid that doesn't study for a
test in your class and winds up getting a higher
grade than you did when you go. I studied until
two in the morning, and I didn't eat, and I
(28:46):
even go to sleep. I just kept drinking Red Bull
to stay up because my test is an eight, and
I wound hup getting to sixty seven. You don't even
look at a book and you got a ninety eight. Yeah,
I should have got that last one, right, that's a
little careless at the end. I just I should have
got one hundred. Yeah, that's all me. That's that's who
the Steelers are always works out from. This is gonna
work out for them too well.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
But it's the perfect narrative too, because the what's The
one thing you can't question about Shudor Sanders his toughness. Right,
we watched that time and again, and where else can
that be sold.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
It's a great fit, and it's a great and the
thing is, it's a great fit on an allion great periods.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Right.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
They got Jalen Warren to come back cheap, so they've
got a bunch of They made the trades, the splashy
moves to upgrade the receiving corps this offseason. So yeah,
it would be a perfect fall to opportunity. Probably not
gonna be so thrilled that he goes twenty first psychologically.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
But they're gonna start, They're gonna start pushing the fit.
This is where he's on. This is the best fit
for him, This is the best place for him to go,
and it is. The thing is it is it's the
perfect place for him to go. And they're gonna luck
into it. They're just gonna back into it and fall
over and find a briefcase full of money, because that's
what happens.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
They're not in your division yet, I know, but still
it just tied up set.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Tomlin's just starting to irk me the last couple of
years with the whole. Yeah, I'm smarter than you, and
look what I do at quarterback. It's not working. Doesn't matter.
I'm still smarter than you. It's not working. It's not working.
It's not working. Smarter, No, he's not, he is not.
Stop he is if something else.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Look, man, he may have a lucky rabbit's foot or
whatever the hell he's got going on, and he still
has that streak going.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
How is it even with the quarterback position being what
it's been. I told him, I told everybody that would
listen last year, Russell Wilson stinks he's done. No, no, no,
I'm smarter. I'm smart as how goes? So what it is? Sorry, buddy,
that goes?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Uh, it's time to find out what's trending in the
wide world of sports. And the guy who is the
smartest guy in the world, it's Steve to say, hi,
Steve Therap smart enough not to say that sat like
fifteen twenty, fifteen thirty. What'd you get?
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Let's see one thousand thut No, I know it was
nothing close to that, Thank you. Really, although I'm smart
enough to know fourteen the max is and it's yeah,
it's like sixteen hundred.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
The Max, you get four hundred for writing your name correctly.
You have to write it correct you can't. Maybe he's
having to get four points write in your name. You
got to write your name correctly.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
You screw that still, Yeah, el some recruits were prop
forty eighty eve. And so by the way, Tomlin with
his William and Mary education, so you got to add
that into the conversation, mister smart guy.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Well we're talking. He needed kill people. He needed kill
people to teach side William and Mary. I coulda got
by with like a half day full of Mary.
Speaker 5 (31:29):

Speaker 1 (32:06):

but he him and Joe Thisman and Paul McGuire were
from almost seven until the mid two, about.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
Twenty years ago. Yeah, exactly, and a lot of other sports.
I mean, I'd see him on college basketball a lot
over the years. He had a long and great career
at play by play in the NBA Playoffs, the first
quarter is over in LA and the Lakers lead Minnesota

the first from Tommy Edmund. Cubs answered with five in
the bottom of the first against starter Dustin May. Eventually
the Dodgers with five in the seventh to take the lead.
Freddie Freeman with a two run double. Kyle Tucker though

it right here now. Listen ass Fox NFL insider Jay Glazer,
former New York Jets general manager Joe Douglass, college Football
Hall of Famer and former number two overall pick Clive
Barnering Tech and Fox Sports lead college football reporter Jenny
(36:16):
Tax delivered them pick fine pick covering get to the
next Nightday Night Fox Draft Knight Live lives right here
on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
So far tonight, reports of the Lakers' demise has been
greatly exaggerated. Already half of the Timberwolves rosters in foul trouble. Yeah,
we just started the second quarter. Devincenzo already has three
and the Lakers lead the Tea Wolves forty to twenty one.
(36:46):
Lucas hitting threes, not even looking to see if the
ball goes in the net. And this has been a
much different Laker team than Game one. Will have more
on this game coming up in a few minutes. Again,
eight and a half before halftime. And it kind of
looks like a thunder Grizzlies a one right now, forty
to twenty one. It is everything Lakers and the Lakers
need this to tie the series up a one game
of PA.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
I just want more of those hard picks like nas
Reed just set like he was bron breaker taking someone
out with a spear. Yeah, we need more of that
because then we'll get some volatility. Sure, he's you know,
some excitement in a blowout scenario.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Eventually you're gonna you're you're gonna come down from your
big wrestling Udia weekend. Eventually you're gonna come down from that. No,
I mean, I'm doing crossovers here.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
We're trying to grab the entire Okay, everybody, I give
you the sports, we get some wrestling in. I give
you some hot takes because I could speak better on
the microphone than ninety five percent of the guys that
are that are doing the wrestling business right now.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
So maybe they can make me a manager. It's also
an audition. And don't forget Nico Harrison. A lot of
people speak better than Nico hes as soon as he
opens his mouth, he loses. That's trouble. But I'll give
you this hot take, bold prediction for the NFL Draft.
You think I'm crazy, Okay, but that's okay. So me
the first time I don't. I it's very hard to
believe Jerry Jones when he says anything. It's very hard.
(38:04):
Right here, I'm gonna do it. No, nope, just gonna
go just gonna wait a few months and go against it.
That's all it's gonna happen. I'm gonna do it. Ma
Way and ma Way is terrible. Okay, So this is
the deal, he says today. He's working on a couple
of big moves, right. The team is working on some
big trades to make in the NFL Draft. Couple of
(38:25):
big things they could be going on now. Normally you
would say, yeah, whatever, Jerry Jones, Yeah whatever. Yeah, we're
all in too, right Jerry Okay, right, no, no, no, But
this I believe him because this is what he likes
to do. He likes to make that big draft day trade.
Now he hasn't made the biggest one. You gotta go
back to a Mauri Cooper a few years ago. But
he likes you gotta look down just thirty five years
of Jerry Jones when he can. He likes to make
(38:47):
those moves. He likes to get up and do something really,
really bold, and he needs to do that. Right, So
what's the big, bold move to make in the draft.
The Cowboys sit right now and for the first round
of the draft we're talking about they're picking twelve. Who
is the new apple of the eye of NFL teams?
(39:09):
What's the one position that is crying out for Cowboy need?
Because if you add this guy, you can say, well,
maybe we're back to the team we were and we
drafted Dak and he was a rookie, and watch Dak
and Ezekiel Elliott run nuts up and down the field. Hey,
I just watched Saquon Barkley go from one team in
the division to another team in the division and the
(39:30):
Eagles won the bleep in Super Bowl. Jerry Jones is
gonna go up to four or five. He will make
a deal with the Patriots or the Jaguars and they
will draft Ashton Genty Like that is your big surprise move.
Because at four and five the Patriots really want to
take Ashton Genty. Well, they gave him Andre Stevenson some money.
(39:52):
They're kind of Drake made driven. Ashton Genty would be
nice there. But when you're starting over, Jerry Jones, I'm
sure we'll overpay because it's what he does in trades.
Same thing for the Jaguars. Right, you have a couple
of guys you like, not great, but okay. Is Ashton
Genty gonna be the guy? Or will you be able
since you're starting over as well? Hey, if I overpay
for you with picks there one of those teams he
will move up for and take Ashton Genty who doesn't
(40:14):
get out of the top five. And that's the big
shiny move of the NFL draft. And Ashton Genty's got
a star in the side of his head, and he goes,
I'm gonna be Barkley. I'm gonna be Charles Barkley and
Saquon Barkley. I'm gonna even be I Ran Barkley, that
boxer from the eighties. In fact, I'm gonna be Barkley,
who was the butler and soap. I'm gonna be all
these Barkley's is one. Yeah, I'll even went so I'll
(40:37):
even be Elizabeth Berkley, which is close to Barkley. That's
what he's gonna say, and it's gonna be the story.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
So excited that's gonna be I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Oh I'm sorry too far. That's everything. That is everything.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
No, I did that I mean, we just had Jason
locking for on a little earlier in the hour, and
I asked about Jerry Jones because I know the the
hot buttons.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
When we want to get.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
A visceral response to something from Jason Locamora, you got
the Shed or Sanders questions. I didn't really care to
ask anything about Aaron Rodgers, so I went Jerry Jones're like,
come on, what's he gonna go do? This is exactly
what Jerry Jones would do. It's the reverse hochhal Walker.
I'll give you a bunch of stuff to go up there,
because right the Patriots, right now they need to go
(41:19):
and build the interior. Well, you can get the other
offensive linemany right if you don't get the one on
the board. We know that's one of the areas of depth,
and that's not sexy, that's not moving the needle. It's
good for long term success. We're talking about this a
little bit with the draft. There's a lot of depth,
there's a lot of greatness to be had in teams
to be built, but it's not sexy and headline grabbing,
(41:42):
which is why Jerry Jones can cut through the mess
and go get it. If the Jaguars are so far
from being a contender to anything, no matter how bad
the AFC South is. Yeah, yeah, agenty coming there is
not solving anything.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
No.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
No, It's like we said with sa Quar Barkley, if
he'd stayed with the Giants, where do they go?
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Five over or under? Five a half week?
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Look at the right decide it's not a difference maker.
You have to have everything else in place.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
No, And and the Cowboys feel like we have everything
in place. We get a big star player, and I
not only do I win the draft, I win making
my team even better for the fall. And suddenly Micah
Parsons is doing a podcast saying, oh, let's go, let's go,
pay me, let's go.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
It's guy.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
I want money, I want money, I want to stay.
All of a sudden, Ashton the Cowboys trade up for
Ashton Gent. There you go. There's your big bold prediction
for the top five of the NFL. T See, I
gotta go and rework my mock draft, and I'm getting ready,
get ready. Oh I lock what that? Jason Kidd said
on the radio Steven, make that happen Debt Okay, powerhouses listen,
(42:40):
all right? Fine, coming up next, something from the world
of sports that I can't believe is true, but it
absolutely is.

Wow, that's it good. I know Paul Hayman has some thoughts.

there's evid, there's videos, there's there's there's all kinds of
everything is out there. Everything we know.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
It might be the only Hollywood production still going on
here over here in the valley. They might have a
film in the works.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I feel like this is this is this is one
of those scandals that both sides are racing to release
the stuff so people can hear it like this is insane.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Well that's it. Just keep feeding more and more information.
Here's your overla, parse it out and try to figure out.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Usual where you land. Usually it's hey, nobody wants the details.
I know everybody. Let's get the detail. Let's get them
all out. Let's get let's everybody. One side gets back. No,
the other side wants to get.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
It out more.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
We're gonna get out. We're gonna get now. We're this
this I mean, I I look at the Shannon Sharp
story and I go, this is the decline and fall
of Western civilization, part three. This is the decline. We
had the TV, we had the movie in the eighties
with the heavy metal, and now this is part three?
Wasn't there part three? Didn't they already do one? No,
we take that. I don't think anybody saw it. Wow,
that's a whole other question. I mean it's it's like,
(02:21):
you know, did they really did they do Hangover four?
There was u was there a Hangover four?
Speaker 4 (02:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Okay, you should wash your mouth out for just saying,
are they still doing like this? It's up to Descendants five?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Now?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Is that what it is? Descendants five? Descendence? They just
had what is it the Red Queen or something like
that Red Hulk that was a new event. No, no, no,
it's a different person. That wasn't That wasn't as terrible
as I thought. I thought the Red Hulk and the
Red Queen together, maybe that's the next movie.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Would have been a good my end Listen. Nineteen ninety
eight was a decline of Western civilization. This is part
this is this is already this is more five. No, no,
this is already this, This supersedes that.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I mean, this just comes.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Back to the age of all right, until there are
criminal you know, charges, to the point where you're convicted,
just let it play out, okay, right, I mean that
that's kind of where we're at. You want to put
him on TV, put him on TV. I mean, it
was gonna be the one hundred million dollars man, wasn't
He wasn't that the last Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, one hundred million dollar guy. Now it's a hundred
million going the other way. So, getting set for the
Lakers Game two against the Tea Wolves, all of a sudden,
maybe now this is the year they should run with
the Hey, you know, the Anthony Edwards Michael Jordan storyline
might actually be better now than it was a year ago.
We really forced it so much, but uh, Michael Jordan
never get fined that much. But that game coming up
(03:41):
will of course keep you updated throughout the night tonight.
The Lakers need to tie this series up going back
to Minnesota. Meanwhile, earlier we saw the thunderbeat the Grizzlies
one eighteen ninety nine. No surprise there. And uh, but
here I am all ready to make a coaching change
for next season. I'm all ready to make one because
I know what's gonna happen. Didn't we already kill this
(04:02):
guy off? I'm year, I know it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
The Pacers lead the Bucks two games to none. Yep,
they win it one twenty three one point fifteen. Uh,
Siakam and Trent get into a little bit of a
scuffle back and forth during this one, and the Bucks
and Doc Rivers now down twos. It like I throw
Duck Radock Rivers in there. The Bucks and Doc Rivers
down Two's it been this series? Number one? It's gonna
(04:25):
be tough because Doc can't say, oh well, not gonna
blame me for blowing the three to one series. Lya
this time? Can't do it? What are all my critic's
gonna say? Now, I can't blow it three? Oh he
doesn't blow three to one series? We're down oh two?
What do you think about that? You have nothing to
say to you? We're down oh two?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Keep quiet, Yeah, I'm winning. Winning how many times it's
been a sweat? We're gonna get to that pretty damn
quick to where this is going. Uh but yeah, I mean,
look that's where we're at. Look, Damian Lillard makes his
return to I clearly not the same Damian Lillard coming
back from from the blood clot.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Great to see him back. I mean that's the number
one thing. Great to see him back that because what
he's suffering through and Wemby, it's not these aren't injuries.
These are these are serious medical conditions. And to see
Damian Lillard come back as fast as he has is
a great, great story, and you know, but clearly not
the not the same player yet. He's gonna need to
ramp back up into basketball shape. But I'll tell you
(05:20):
what I'm already not only am I gonna make a
coaching change, I'll tell you who's gonna get the job. Okay,
So who's doc Rivers lead doc Rivers? So I realized
that did I spoil it? Might just leave. I might
just leave. I don't know, I like to I might
do the George Costanza. You can't fire him if you
can't find me. So maybe I just go on vacation,
(05:41):
believe it or not do using at home doc rivers
because this is just I mean, look, it's not getting
any better for this thought though. It's not. Yeah, yeah,
first half was it? And they literally like it was, yes, yeah,
literally did.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
But it was another one of those situations like they're
gonna play some defense, aren't they.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
They're gonna play a little bit of defense. And then
they fought back.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
They end up Blue using by eighth, but they at
least put up a fight.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I mean they lost by eight, and Bobby Porters went
for twenty eight and twelve off the bench tonight. I
mean twenty eight and twelve and you lost. He's still playing, Oh, yes,
he is. He's gonna be ten years, He'll still be playing.
He'll still be coming off the bench. Bobby still still
say Bobby Portter's former Bull and Knicks still Bobby ports.
(06:24):
I mean, look, is there anything that's gonna happen. I'll
give you this lead pipe. Certain I'll give you this
this NBA playoff guarantee. The head coach of the Milwaukee
Bucks next year is Mike Malone. Oh sorry, Michael Malone.
Oh you got it right, Michael, Yeah, I mean you
got Mike. You know he's the job right now. He's
the head coach of the Bucks next season, right because
it clearly look you're you're continuing to waste the prime
(06:47):
of Giannis. Look, they get to the mountaintop and they win,
but they've not been able to keep it going since
and you have a lot of issues. Obviously, it's not
been anything close to what you envision when you got
Damian Lillard and you thought we're gonna run rough shot
over the Eastern Conference. Instead you have watched at least
three teams pass you by in the Eastern, maybe four
teams have passed you by in the East.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Overall.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
That's not good man. So you know what change is coming.
But who's got the experience of coaching a big superstar,
a big in the middle, had to respect won a championship. Yeah,
Michael Malone's gonna come in and get this job over Doc.
Because someone's gonna come in. You need a little bit
of a hard ass now, right, You got to follow
a player's coach, kinda with a hard ass coach, and
not that Doc isn't always the most players of coaches,
(07:30):
but still you need a couple of different philosophies. And
Malone coming in, that's the guy. Who else you're gonna
get guy won a championship two years ago and he's out. Okay,
maybe he's humbled a little bit and I got to
come in. But they need someone to grab a hold
of this of this program and say, okay, this is
what we need to be because right now the Bucks
it's like they just go out there and play. You
had Kyle Kuzma, who was a really dynamic player. And
(07:54):
at least he scored in this game. At least he
scored twelve in this game. He didn't go zero zero
zero zero zero zero zero zero.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You have kind of feel bad for him in that game, though,
hoof just a little bit like twenty two minutes and
nary at stat to be found. That's almost impossible. It's
only ten guys on the damn court. The ball had
to hit you in the hands at some point on accident.
Is that count? As an assistant bounced off his head
to a teammate, does that count?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
The favorite earlier in this season, when it looked like
Doc might have been on the hot seat was Terry Stotts.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Okay, so you've got him.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
You you go over and look at some of the
other would be wizards on benches elsewhere. I mean, then
Mark d'antoni's still up there, Manti Williams. So there's there's guys.
How excitable you are about any of them? I don't know,
but certainly.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Sure not yet, not yet soon though maybe well we
called that one about six weeks ago time ago.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I did like there was a thing going around though,
where there was a great camera angle on TIBs where
it looked like.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
He'd had a hair restoration.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Okay, all of a sudden it looked like he was
walking with a full head of lettuce and it was
just the way it blended in the background of him.
But you know, he might need that, he could show
a renewed, youthful appearance to give him that shot at
that next gig.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Look, and I'll say this because we were both off
last night. We had, you know, night with all our
families at California Adventure with iHeart. Was a great night
last night. You and I were there, Justin was there,
Alex Tischert was there. Thanks ninety eight seven.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
And.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
You know the Nicks lose and you know all the
how are you? How are Jason? Oh my god, how
do you have? And I'm honest with I'm honest with
you right now. I am absolutely fine because because you
had a turo because well, no, because I did have.
I did have Shwarma last night saved the world. Then
swarma is because I have zero expectations for this next team.
(10:04):
I told you I had zero and that this is
not their year. The roster did not come together. And
I'll tell you this much. The guy following TIBs out
the door if they lose this round of the Pistons
is mcal Bridges, and it's going to be this is
how we revamp the team for next year is taking
one of the stars because it's starting five is in credity.
Put together an incredible starting five. It's not gelling like
(10:24):
you would expect. And mcal Bridges is not someone that's
seen the basketball enough. He's had a tough time getting hot.
He has games where he absolutely disappears, and he is
your most marketable asset that will bring back what you
need to complete this team, because it's just how they
have it now. It's this iron man basketball of Hey,
we're going to have the five stars out there as
(10:45):
much as possible. There's still not enough flow and sometimes
there's not enough touches for Karl Anthony Towns, and trying
to get too many people involved is really difficult. And
when Brunson's has the ball most of the time and
it's he and Kat all right, you're trying to bring
another scorer in here that's not working and Unobe with
his three and D is great. Josh Hart finds his
spots right that's but the Bridges thing is a really
(11:07):
difficult thing. And they traded five number one picks for him.
So so following TIBs out the door, if the Knicks
lose to the Pistons, is gonna is gonna be Michal
Bridges because that's the only way they get a couple
of pieces that can either supplement or work better with
what they have, because you just have a collection of
talent right now with the Knicks. And I thought, oh,
this is gonna come to It's gonna be unbelievably awesome.
And now it's like, oh, you know, they'll win. They'll
(11:28):
beat the teams that are about as good as them
and not quite as good, but the team's better than them,
forget it, right, Like I mean, and again, I have
no expect and I'm not saying no, no, no. The
Mets I have big time expectations for and I'm like, okay,
now I'm I'm gripping my ass off this year because
this is now, this is We're we have the best
record in baseball. We're not even hitting yet, and this
is it. But the Knicks, I'm like, yeah, whatever, man,
(11:50):
what they have. I have zero expectation whatever happened to
the If they win the series, great, it's a bonus, right,
That's how I look at a bonus. Now, what's gonna
likely happen is I'm sure they're gonna they're gonna win,
are gonna lose this series? And then somehow the Celtics
will get upset and the Caves will get upset and
it'll be oh, it's there for us. That's climply how
it works for the mix. But like, if they get
out of here, great, If not, okay, I I zero
(12:12):
expectations for the.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Jason Tatum doubtful for the next game, the Celtics with
that wrist injury where they said, let him get up himself.
He's really hurt, get up, rub it off. So it's
that curiosity will watch you and continue to monitor your
heart rate, uh and your your angst akstiness. Then the
Mets helping you quite a bit because yesterday, I mean
(12:36):
as Justin is wont to do to poke the bear,
as as the Knicks go down and defeat.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, but the Mets one jerk. I gonna look at
the positives, right, I gonna, if I line.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
For a ride, have its one.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
The Philly is all good. Man, all good, it's.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Like, but it comes back to the ability of a
squad because you got health for the most part.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
For your ex is seventeen. Hell great, if you get sixty.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Five in this day and age in the NBA, yeah,
that means you had a healthy year, right. But when
you're playing with such a short rotation, those guys are
on heavy minutes and now you try to extend that
into play. It's a lot easier to shrink it down
and just say, hey you you got used to your
twelve minutes in the regular season. You got nothing now,
versus hey, you ready to come off the bench.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
What's my role? Don't know? Remember, because when Brunson suddenly
was out, everybody's standing around. Look at who's taking it,
who's getting the ball on the inbound don't know? Zero?
Expect that's it. Expect nothing. You'll never be disappointed. See
that's not expecting nothing. I'm expecting nothing. It's all good.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Expect lifetime of your sports, your sports life, and my
sports life.

Speaking of Yeah, we had some big talk today that
maybe the Browns and the Giants looking a trade out
of the second and third selections of the draft. The
(17:25):
Titans and know that we're good. We're staying at number one.
We took them phone call for good. We're feeling okay?
Is twenty thousand? Looks when when Kem Warden said the
best running backs in the NFL were the guys on
our team, we figured we need to draft the guy.
But could we see some move right now? Every team
has their first round pick? Will that change? Joining us
now on the hotline, longtime NFL insider. You can see

what's happening?
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Man?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I'll be happy when this thing's over. I gotta be
honest with you.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, but that yeah, But here's the thing, though, I
know the Orioles aren't playing well, so you're gonna be
focused more on the Orioles on your radio show.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I don't know, man, it's it's low IQ bad baseball, man,
I don't know. It's not great to talk about. But
they'll be mediocre enough, like the problem is that they
won't be just truly horrific, Like they're going to be
mediocre enough that it's kind of like it's interesting and
(18:40):
people won't get fired like they should, and changes won't
be made like they should because you know, they've expanded
the playoffs and you can keep convincing the new owner
that we're still in it. I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Well, let's get to some more certainty easier. Let's let's
look at Thursday, then the door, the week, the week
we're gonna get by. H do you believe the Browns
and the Giants can move from two to three or
is this.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Just most this is just what we do two days
before the draft. I mean people are calling each other.
I don't think that qualifies as news. It's it's what happens.
People set their boards over the weekend and then they start,
you know, talking to other teams and exchanging ideas, and
it goes from kind of being everybody in their silo
too much more of a sort of ongoing dialogue. And
(19:29):
that's part of why you see betting markets crystallized, and
you start to see the kite. The kind of value,
a potential value that was there a week ago, two
weeks ago, a month ago, disappeared for a lot of
these picks, and it basically becomes you put up a
whole bunch of money to win your money back, because
that's that's all you're that's all you're doing, because these
(19:51):
these things are kind of they kind of are what
they are. And I think the first really, for me,
really the first five picks are pretty well set now
and I don't think there's going to be a trade
that changes that. I don't think we're going to see
nearly as many trades as we normally do. Certainly the
pace of the conversations have been slower. There's less of
(20:15):
a consensus on who really the top players are, and
it's harder to think that you know your guy Kenner
can't be there because a lot of these opinions are
more all over the place. I don't think it's as
deep and blue chip players at most key positions. There's
a lot of other drafts, but it has boodles of depth,
which is another reason why people are not that inclined
(20:38):
to trade picks to give away, you know, or a
part with some of these Day two and early Day
three picks where they think they can really do some damage.
So I do think somebody will trade into the back
end of the first round for a quarterback, and it
stands the reason there'll be another trade or two where
people flop spots and unless there deals. But I don't
(20:58):
think we're going to have blockbuster players, but you'll get
dealt But even a Trey Hendrickson, I don't think you're
getting a one straight up for him. So a lot
of those trades might not happen until Day two because
they're probably only gonna involve Day two picks at Thursday night. No,
I don't anticipate much trade action, certainly not in the
top three.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
All right, so let's do this. Then I'll go through
the I'll start with pick one and then we'll stop
and you go from where you think the picks are
gonna go when you disagree. Ready, okay, all right? So
number one cam Ward Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Keep going, okay.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Number two Travis Hunter, Cleveland, ramblelong, okay. Number three the
Giants Abdul Carter proceed. Okay. Number four the Patriots, Oh boy, yeah,
they break the Jets heart and they go with Membu
out of Missouri.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I think it's probably can Well. I think it's probably
the other offensive lineman.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yeah, okay. And then five Jacksonville, Oh boy, five, make
some Graham Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I think it's shiny, it's Genty or Graham, but I
would I believe it's.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Sent Oh okay, I like that him seeking in the
top five go out of their work to make that happen.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Do you.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
The Raiders don't try to do something to get up
to get Genty?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I don't think so. I mean, it's not out of
the Roman possibility, but like, I don't know, Like I
think I just have a hunch that they take McMillan,
and that they make their offense better that way, and
that they think they can get a pretty good back
at the top of the second round. But this receiver class,
(22:47):
you know, and there's not even uniformity about the top
three and how how high those ceilings may be. But
I've just had this theory, and I've run it by
some people who are on other teams, and they don't
think I'm crazy. That this is tom Brady's pick, and
tom Brady sees the game through the eyes of a quarterback.
And tom Brady, you know, for the better part of
his first twenty years in the league, was under a
(23:09):
guy's thump who didn't want to do anything for his offense,
who wanted Tom Brady to do more with less, and
who was you know, would never give tom Brady this
kind of capital in the first round on a pass catcher,
you know, even Gronk, you got him lower than you
probably should have because of you know, concerns about his
body even then. And so yeah, I just think Tom
(23:32):
Brady and they've already got a bruck Bowers. You know,
if they didn't have a Bowers, then I would say
that they jump all over one. But I just have
a theory that he's trying to build a monster there
for Gino and that's his call way more than it's
Pete Carroll's, and that that McMillan kid he thinks is
the best wide receiver in this in.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
This draft interesting because I would have doubled up and
gone back to what he had and you know, the
human must not be named in Aaron Hernandez alongide, So
you'd have the dual tight ends to go out there
and dominate.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I mean, that would that would be something. I just
think that they feel like those parts of the field
are already pretty well covered and we need people to
you know, to compliment that we're looking for a little
different skill set. Yeah, woe. We'll see.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Does Kirk Cousins get traded day one or day two?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
I mean he gets traded in the next like he
gets traded his offseason. I don't believe it has to
happen this weekend. It's complicated. He's got a full note trade,
you know, the how willing are the Falcons to negotiate
the sort of rework the contract they're going to have
to do facilitated trade. But are those conversations that are
going to be going on, you know, while all this
(24:46):
activities going on during the draft. I mean, you can
walk and treat come at the same time. But I
don't think that trade is I don't think it's it's
sort of incumbent on them getting this year's draft picks
for him. If that's what it was all about, this
should have already been done. They should have, you know,
stopped being fools about not wanting to eat any of
(25:08):
the money to get a real pick in return, and
it should have already been done. So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Jason Locking for NFL inside of our guest Jason Smith,
Mike Carmon Lot from the tirec dot Com studios. All right,
fill in the blank here for me. Well, that's what
it would take to get it. When it's all said
and done. Shador Sanders is on what team? And what
round does he go in?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Oh, come on round tomorrow night. I right now would
say twenty one to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, yeah, I'm with you. I'm completely with you. And
they walk in. Mike Toma gets to walk around like
he's the smartest guy in the room. See, look at
what I did, Look at what I did. I did.
There's a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Well, look, I don't think he gets past my Tomlin.
I'll put it that way. I think Mike Tomlin's very
comfortable with him. I think that some of the brashness
and boldness and whatever that other people could talk themselves
out of, I think Mike tom would have no problem
sort of harnessing and using to his advantage. They obviously
(26:14):
have an overt needt at quarterback. And I started picking
up over the weekend talking to coaches and gms and
and you know, you know, doubts evaluators. So I mean,
too many people being convinced that Tellen Moore really does
have a fixation on Jackson Die and that the Saints
(26:37):
are in fact inclined to go that way. No one knows, right,
I mean, like you, no, very few people actually know
inside that building. And sometimes these things are completely right,
and sometimes there are smoke that's done out there that
people believe, and sometimes it was right until an owner
or somebody else stepped in and said, no, that's not
(26:58):
what we're going to do. So no one would sit there,
you know, rival gms and say we absolutely know that pick.
But there are people who you know, to the best
of their determination for their internal draft boards and mock drafts.
They think Jackson Dark is the pick at nine. So
I'm who am I to say? No?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Does Jerry Jones upset the apple cart to prove and
shut everybody up and to prove to himself that he's
still the smartest.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Guy in the room by doing what would he make it?
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Make it a giant trade? You know, one of those picks.
Let's go for Broke.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
For who who is this draft would like for Travis Haunk.
I mean, I mean that would be the only person
that I think you could really make the case he
doesn't need a quarterback. He just gave a guy sixty
million dollars a year, sure but grudgingly, but he did it. No,
(27:57):
I would be really surprised if he. I just think
he still is where he is and he probably takes
a wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
He's on Twitter at Jason lock and four that is
at Jason Locke and four. Check him out on Odyssey
one oh five seven the fan in Baltimore, Washington Post.
Jay has always buddy appreciated man, enjoyed the draft on Thursday.
We'll talk to you always, my pleasure, Thank you, jason Ny.
There he goes now I'm telling you, man, it's gonna
wind up. It's like I put it out in the
universe that that somehow Shador Sanders is gonna fall to
(28:24):
the Steelers and Mike Tomlin's gonna get to walk around
like see all he doubted me, think I didn't know
what I was doing, which they don't. Oh, we're gonna win.
I'm telling you it's gonna wind up happening, and Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh is like that kid that doesn't study for a
test in your class and winds up getting a higher
grade than you did when you go. I studied until
two in the morning, and I didn't eat, and I
(28:46):
even go to sleep. I just kept drinking Red Bull
to stay up because my test is an eight, and
I wound hup getting to sixty seven. You don't even
look at a book and you got a ninety eight. Yeah,
I should have got that last one, right, that's a
little careless at the end. I just I should have
got one hundred. Yeah, that's all me. That's that's who
the Steelers are always works out from. This is gonna
work out for them too well.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
But it's the perfect narrative too, because the what's The
one thing you can't question about Shudor Sanders his toughness. Right,
we watched that time and again, and where else can
that be sold.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
It's a great fit, and it's a great and the
thing is, it's a great fit on an allion great periods.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Right.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
They got Jalen Warren to come back cheap, so they've
got a bunch of They made the trades, the splashy
moves to upgrade the receiving corps this offseason. So yeah,
it would be a perfect fall to opportunity. Probably not
gonna be so thrilled that he goes twenty first psychologically.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
But they're gonna start, They're gonna start pushing the fit.
This is where he's on. This is the best fit
for him, This is the best place for him to go,
and it is. The thing is it is it's the
perfect place for him to go. And they're gonna luck
into it. They're just gonna back into it and fall
over and find a briefcase full of money, because that's
what happens.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
They're not in your division yet, I know, but still
it just tied up set.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Tomlin's just starting to irk me the last couple of
years with the whole. Yeah, I'm smarter than you, and
look what I do at quarterback. It's not working. Doesn't matter.
I'm still smarter than you. It's not working. It's not working.
It's not working. Smarter, No, he's not, he is not.
Stop he is if something else.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Look, man, he may have a lucky rabbit's foot or
whatever the hell he's got going on, and he still
has that streak going.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
How is it even with the quarterback position being what
it's been. I told him, I told everybody that would
listen last year, Russell Wilson stinks he's done. No, no, no,
I'm smarter. I'm smart as how goes? So what it is? Sorry, buddy,

enough to know fourteen the max is and it's yeah,

but he him and Joe Thisman and Paul McGuire were

Speaker 5 (32:16):
Twenty years ago. Yeah, exactly, and a lot of other sports.

former New York Jets general manager Joe Douglass, college Football

Barnering Tech and Fox Sports lead college football reporter Jenny
(36:16):
Tax delivered them pick fine pick covering get to the
next Nightday Night Fox Draft Knight Live lives right here
on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
So far tonight, reports of the Lakers' demise has been
greatly exaggerated. Already half of the Timberwolves rosters in foul trouble. Yeah,
we just started the second quarter. Devincenzo already has three
and the Lakers lead the Tea Wolves forty to twenty one.
(36:46):
Lucas hitting threes, not even looking to see if the
ball goes in the net. And this has been a
much different Laker team than Game one. Will have more
on this game coming up in a few minutes. Again,
eight and a half before halftime. And it kind of
looks like a thunder Grizzlies a one right now, forty
to twenty one. It is everything Lakers and the Lakers
need this to tie the series up a one game
of PA.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
I just want more of those hard picks like nas
Reed just set like he was bron breaker taking someone
out with a spear. Yeah, we need more of that
because then we'll get some volatility. Sure, he's you know,
some excitement in a blowout scenario.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Eventually you're gonna you're you're gonna come down from your
big wrestling Udia weekend. Eventually you're gonna come down from that. No,
I mean, I'm doing crossovers here.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
We're trying to grab the entire Okay, everybody, I give
you the sports, we get some wrestling in. I give
you some hot takes because I could speak better on
the microphone than ninety five percent of the guys that
are that are doing the wrestling business right now.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
So maybe they can make me a manager. It's also
an audition. And don't forget Nico Harrison. A lot of
people speak better than Nico hes as soon as he
opens his mouth, he loses. That's trouble. But I'll give
you this hot take, bold prediction for the NFL Draft.
You think I'm crazy, Okay, but that's okay. So me
the first time I don't. I it's very hard to
believe Jerry Jones when he says anything. It's very hard.
(38:04):
Right here, I'm gonna do it. No, nope, just gonna
go just gonna wait a few months and go against it.
That's all it's gonna happen. I'm gonna do it. Ma
Way and ma Way is terrible. Okay, So this is
the deal, he says today. He's working on a couple
of big moves, right. The team is working on some
big trades to make in the NFL Draft. Couple of
(38:25):
big things they could be going on now. Normally you
would say, yeah, whatever, Jerry Jones, Yeah whatever. Yeah, we're
all in too, right Jerry Okay, right, no, no, no, But
this I believe him because this is what he likes
to do. He likes to make that big draft day trade.
Now he hasn't made the biggest one. You gotta go
back to a Mauri Cooper a few years ago. But
he likes you gotta look down just thirty five years
of Jerry Jones when he can. He likes to make
(38:47):
those moves. He likes to get up and do something really,
really bold, and he needs to do that. Right, So
what's the big, bold move to make in the draft.
The Cowboys sit right now and for the first round
of the draft we're talking about they're picking twelve. Who
is the new apple of the eye of NFL teams?
(39:09):
What's the one position that is crying out for Cowboy need?
Because if you add this guy, you can say, well,
maybe we're back to the team we were and we
drafted Dak and he was a rookie, and watch Dak
and Ezekiel Elliott run nuts up and down the field. Hey,
I just watched Saquon Barkley go from one team in
the division to another team in the division and the
(39:30):
Eagles won the bleep in Super Bowl. Jerry Jones is
gonna go up to four or five. He will make
a deal with the Patriots or the Jaguars and they
will draft Ashton Genty Like that is your big surprise move.
Because at four and five the Patriots really want to
take Ashton Genty. Well, they gave him Andre Stevenson some money.
(39:52):
They're kind of Drake made driven. Ashton Genty would be
nice there. But when you're starting over, Jerry Jones, I'm
sure we'll overpay because it's what he does in trades.
Same thing for the Jaguars. Right, you have a couple
of guys you like, not great, but okay. Is Ashton
Genty gonna be the guy? Or will you be able
since you're starting over as well? Hey, if I overpay
for you with picks there one of those teams he
will move up for and take Ashton Genty who doesn't
(40:14):
get out of the top five. And that's the big
shiny move of the NFL draft. And Ashton Genty's got
a star in the side of his head, and he goes,
I'm gonna be Barkley. I'm gonna be Charles Barkley and
Saquon Barkley. I'm gonna even be I Ran Barkley, that
boxer from the eighties. In fact, I'm gonna be Barkley,
who was the butler and soap. I'm gonna be all
these Barkley's is one. Yeah, I'll even went so I'll
(40:37):
even be Elizabeth Berkley, which is close to Barkley. That's
what he's gonna say, and it's gonna be the story.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
So excited that's gonna be I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Oh I'm sorry too far. That's everything. That is everything.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
No, I did that I mean, we just had Jason
locking for on a little earlier in the hour, and
I asked about Jerry Jones because I know the the
hot buttons.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
When we want to get.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
A visceral response to something from Jason Locamora, you got
the Shed or Sanders questions. I didn't really care to
ask anything about Aaron Rodgers, so I went Jerry Jones're like,
come on, what's he gonna go do? This is exactly
what Jerry Jones would do. It's the reverse hochhal Walker.
I'll give you a bunch of stuff to go up there,
because right the Patriots, right now they need to go
(41:19):
and build the interior. Well, you can get the other
offensive linemany right if you don't get the one on
the board. We know that's one of the areas of depth,
and that's not sexy, that's not moving the needle. It's
good for long term success. We're talking about this a
little bit with the draft. There's a lot of depth,
there's a lot of greatness to be had in teams
to be built, but it's not sexy and headline grabbing,
(41:42):
which is why Jerry Jones can cut through the mess
and go get it. If the Jaguars are so far
from being a contender to anything, no matter how bad
the AFC South is. Yeah, yeah, agenty coming there is
not solving anything.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
No.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
No, It's like we said with sa Quar Barkley, if
he'd stayed with the Giants, where do they go?
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Five over or under? Five a half week?
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Look at the right decide it's not a difference maker.
You have to have everything else in place.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
No, And and the Cowboys feel like we have everything
in place. We get a big star player, and I
not only do I win the draft, I win making
my team even better for the fall. And suddenly Micah
Parsons is doing a podcast saying, oh, let's go, let's go,
pay me, let's go.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
It's guy.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
I want money, I want money, I want to stay.
All of a sudden, Ashton the Cowboys trade up for
Ashton Gent. There you go. There's your big bold prediction
for the top five of the NFL. T See, I
gotta go and rework my mock draft, and I'm getting ready,
get ready. Oh I lock what that? Jason Kidd said
on the radio Steven, make that happen Debt Okay, powerhouses listen,
(42:40):
all right? Fine, coming up next, something from the world
of sports that I can't believe is true, but it
absolutely is.
