Speaker 4 (00:57):
All right, Mike Carmon, before we get into lebron, I
got a question for you.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Hit me gut reaction right now? Yeap worse playoffs so far?
The Lakers or Connor Hellibuk worse playoffs so far to this.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Point, Lakers or Helli Buck. I will say this since
most folks have no idea, No, no, they know we had.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
That Nations, We had that whole big We had the
whole big thing earlier this year is a very big deal.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
We had that USA cat And everybody knows Connor Hellibuck. Everybody. Yeah,
there's there's a bit of a flashy thing that goes on. Hey,
that was great, all right, back to back to whatever
the shiny object is.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
No.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I mean, look, there's a lot of excuses now for
the Lakers. Seemingly everybody had a torn this, that or
the other in Game five, so you got that going.
But so so the Lakers win because they take up
more oxygen. But your your reality check is probably correct.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
He's giving up twenty goals in the last four games
of this He got and he got old tonight, he
got got, he got figured out. He's the best American
goalie in the history of hockey. He is the best American.
He's probably gonna win MVP this year. And he's giving
up twenty goals in the.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Least forty seven to twelve and three, with a two
point oh one goals against average and a ninety three
percent save percentage. For the year, he had eight shutouts. Yeah,
that's more than all of Major League Baseball the last
three years. Come out, Okay, I'm just kidding. The White
Sox got shut out at least that many times. But
uh yeah, all of that to say, we talk about
(02:35):
second seasons and regular seasons not mattering. It's only appropriate
that we talk about him and the Lakers in the
same sentence.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
You know, and you know, I have two words that
could just you know that that could sum this all
up for you. Oh you're gonna go degeneration X I
could I can two words gonna sum this whole thing up.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Okay, what are those two words? Jets yo? Oh wow, Isaac?
Do you thought it was slo punched my ass? You
just had it dangling out there.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I'm like, come on, come on, bam. Yeah, Saar Thompson.
You thought I was going left. Instead, I dead legged.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
You and came back and hit that three, and good
night everybody. You thought I slide to the left, my
leg was broken to the left. Slide to the left.
Uh so again.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Halftime fifty three, forty eight lead for the Rockets over
the Warriors. Will have more on this game coming up
in a few minutes, but big news today. If the
Lakers had continued to go on in the playoffs instead
of getting eliminated by the t Wolves, they would likely
be without Lebron James, maybe for the rest of the playoffs,
as it was reported today that he suffered a Grade
(03:44):
two MCL sprain in his left knee during the fourth
quarter of Game five, the big play where everybody said, oh,
Lebron is flopping when Dante DiVincenzo ran into him. That
was the play he gets called for an offensive foul.
Lebron James goes down, and of course all the flopping memes.
Look this, this is what happens when you flop and
you're Lebron and you're you know, Yokitchen, you start flopping.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
This is how it goes.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
But a pretty serious injury for Lebron. At the end
of Game five, he would have been out for at
least the next few weeks. It's a three to five
week recommended recovery timeline. Now, Lebron is somewhat of a
good healer, so he probably would have come back a
little bit sooner. But let's say comes back three weeks,
like are the Lakers even playing?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
They're not.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And you know, when I saw this today, the first
thing I did was say, Okay, it's it's legit.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
We're not saying, hey Lebron, we're deflecting the blame of
the Lakers losing. Oh look but Lebron was hurt. Can't
blame him.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
No. That's the sad, sad reality of it, though, Jason,
is that that's everybody's first first reaction because did you
think anything about his knee when that play happened. No,
it was oh wow, he ran into this guy. And
now because none of his teammates even looked at him,
it's like, get.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Up, Yeah, they're gonna have a little something something for
Devincenzo next year. You know, the big axe ham on
Luca and now this on Lebron. But I mean that's
a for Okay, is this legit? I mean, look, I
know there's gonna be a lot of conspiracy theories. You
would say, well, it was a source close to ESPN
the telling them okay, it's an MRI. I really think
if people need to see it, they'd see the MRI.
(05:15):
This is a doctor thing. This is where people lose
their jobs and doctors lose their jobs. So I'm i'm
I'm okay that it's a legitimate injury for Lebron James
and he would have been I'm okay with that.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Were you were you trying to say, has mcmenimon replace
Brian Windhorse as the Lebron guyte So why would why
would why would Dave mcmanimon report this with my fingers
in the air like Windhorse?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Now, like if this was a middle of the season,
it's a sprain and the Lakers were coming up on
you know, eight games and uh in six days like
they were earlier this year, you know, the other games
Lebron missed, I would say, okay, maybe a little bit,
but I'm out.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I'll go legit.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Hey, here's Lebron mcl sprain and he would have been
out for the rest of the playoffs. I can't shake
the feeling and this is a big deal. I can't
shake the feeling that he is in a next year
or bust in Los Angeles that unless the Lakers have
a really big playoff run next year is his last
(06:14):
year in LA. Now, not his last year in the league,
because you see the level he is still playing at.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
He's playing.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I mean, look, with the guy, the level he's playing
at at forty, he could play another five years. You know,
he still wants to keep playing now Cleveland is really good,
So one more year, saying, hey, what if the King
comes home and maybe I win a championship or one
more and I finish. I finished, just an acrond kid
finishing in Cleveland, right like. I could see him doing that.
I could see him saying, hey, wait a minute, I
always wanted to play in Madison Square Garden. The finally,
(06:41):
itch want itch, I want to scratch. What do you
guys think I'll take less money whatever. Lebron's not gonna
just play again, and he's gonna play after it. But
I just can't shake the sense that next year could
be the final one for him with the Lakers because
he's losing his influence in the organization.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
You could see it.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
He ran the team for so long, right him and
Rich Paul and Ad and Clutch Sports. We got the
guys we wanted, We drafted the guys we wanted, we
signed the free agenc we wanted, and now the Lakers
in making that Luka Doncic move have retaken the organization. Right,
Ad is gone, who is Lebron's best friend, which on
the team at the time, which was gonna, you know,
stop them from making decisions.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
They were so powerful.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Now Lebron seems kind of isolated as the team retools
around Luka Doncic. Right, they're probably gonna go get a
big in the offseason because Luca needs that guy that
he can run and throw alley oops to that rim runner,
Like that's what they're gonna do.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
But he's done the LA thing. Now, he's been to LA.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
He's he's built his whatever empire he's going to build
in Los Angeles. Right, His kids are gonna be gone.
They're all going to be in college and out of
the house. Outside of a big run next year and
maybe another NBA Finals, Like next year is it for Lebron?
Because if you had the Lakers are saying right now, Okay,
what did we see was this season of failure? Yeah
(07:59):
it was absolutely was a failure. But Luke and Lebron
played together for three months. They played really well together.
They really got there in such a short time. Their
chemistry was undeniable. So do we blow it up?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Do we move away from Lebron now, No, it doesn't
make sense. It seems like a panic move. So let's
adjust around them for next season. And if next season
doesn't work, then we have a big decision to make.
Then it's to say, Okay, thank you, Lebron, you've been great,
we won, we'll retire your jersey, we'll do it, you know,
we'll do all these things. But we are moving on
(08:34):
now because we're building around Luca, and Luca needs somebody
else or another sort of roster configuration that works best
to build around him. Luca is the Lakers now, and
Lebron sees that even in him talking, he sounds like
a guy that is no longer talking about me as
the focal point of the organization and more like, hey,
(08:54):
I'm at arms length, man, I'm on the outside just
like you.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
You're to say stuff like hey, I told Luca, when
it comes your next contract, you do you.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I'm not gonna be around much longer.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Like it seems like he's sort of pulling back a
little bit from where he was because he knows this
is how it's going, that the Lakers are retaking the organization.
So I unless it's a big run for the Lakers
next year. That's it because Lakers can go. Okay, so
we had two years of Lebron and Luca didn't work. Okay,
Lebron is forty one, Lucas twenty six. This is where
we have to go, like unless it's a big run, Like,
(09:23):
that's it for Lebron with the Lakers next season.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Yeah. I mean, he's got the one year player option
fifty two million bucks we've talked about, and you know,
some speculation he comes back either to the Lakers or
should he decide to go elsewhere for lesser money, whether
it's you know, your dream scenario of Cleveland or whatever else.
But it is a curiosity, right his pos postgame commentary
(09:47):
where he was being glib and snarky and throwing out right,
I can't answer a thing about the roster because hey,
that got ad shipped out after he talked ha ha.
But just showing that his response to the Luca questions
about you know, recruiting and getting him to sign long
term whatever, saying, hey, that's not my job, that's not
(10:09):
what I'm here for. No, no, well, I mean that's
the guy's kind of readily admitting it's like, hey, I
maybe here a year or two or three years longer.
But you're looking at the larger picture and that will
not include me, you know, even throwing up very very openly,
I'm forty years old, man, I'm forty. He wants him mad,
(10:31):
he's forty, right, yeah, no, he wants that love. Now.
You know, he's at that age in the sports continuum
where we have to say and forty year old Lebron James,
like we did that with Tom Brady forty year old
Tom Brady now forty year old Aaron Rodgers. But for
the Lakers, obviously they've got a lot of roster decisions
to make. They can joke all they want about conditioning,
(10:51):
and Reddy can do that. I mean, you could you
believe that there was even the need to put out
that report the athletic did that JJ Reddick's job was safe.
You're talking about all sorts of noise and chaos, et cetera,
and Lebron's future. I'm sorry, it's not the top, top
thing on that board. Yeah right, he's important to things
(11:12):
for the next year. Obviously, if he opts in fifty
two million dollars is a lot of scratch that precludes
you from really being too active in the marketplace. Now
they do retain the trade pieces that didn't go from
the one that got rescinded, but that those are trade
pieces that need to be done. And did they break
(11:32):
Dalton connect in the process, right? So well, yeah, shoot,
and he can't play defense. How do you fix him?
Oh no, don't stay on your roster or if he's
gonna get sold off though now he's a damaged product
and he's a bag of balls.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I don't know that these damage I think he was Hey,
he was teams are gonna see him as boy. He
was a pretty good rookie when he got a chance
to play. Then he got traded. The Lakers didn't know
what to do with him after when the trade got rescinded. No,
he'll be the guy that goes into trade.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
The other end knows that. I mean, this is really
another test run for the negative column, at least short
term of Lebron the GM because that was his guy.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, now we're training the guy you
wanted to pay like, I mean, like the the like
Lebron and the Lakers are moving away from it. It's
it's one of those like a marriage where you don't
realize you're moving the part, but you sort of do
and you're not actively doing it, but you're sort of,
you know, subconsciously doing it and making decisions that maybe
(12:28):
you don't realize.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
But that's when they're moving towards.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
So next off season, if it happens, it will be
a hey, well we're thinking that maybe, and Lebron's saying,
I'm thinking maybe I should. Okay, great, great, we no
it needs to say anything. Okay, great, thanks, We shake
hands and we part. That's how it's gonna go.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
See. I would love if he just opted out and
then randomly signed somewhere else. Yeah. Easy. I think it
would be the greatest move ever. Turned out less money.
He doesn't turn down less, no, no, fifty two million dollars.
He's hey, man, I did that thing in Miami years ago.
It's like, yeah, you didn't. You didn't really make a
ton less that was made up off the court, uh
in in other products and endorsements, et cetera. But the
(13:05):
other curious thing was the amount of legs and attention
the Lebron statement on his future, Like, who the hell
ever thought he would retire after this season?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
No, I mean it's not me.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
He's still it's gotta be asked, but I mean, come on,
but now he's got a real Okay, we're not gonna win.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Oh hey boy, the calves are looking really good. Cas Hey,
maybe one more time? What do you guys think? Or
the Knicks?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Right, Kasa, the two places, look at you, those are
the only places he would go.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Right.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
But if he went to the Knicks, would he suddenly
stink in the garden? Would it not be as special anymore?
Look at Lebron, still looking for his first bucket at MSG.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
We're in game number seventeen. He's got some free throws,
but he just can't hit any there's another miss buy
Lebron and it's only warm ups.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
He seems distracted by the arrival of Timothy Chalomey again. Well,
then I think you realize it.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Okay, if he did go to the Knicks, that would
be when it's over, okay, because they aren't going to
work out what the Knicks too will be wrong.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
And that's where.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Lebron all of a sudden scores twelve a game that
would he be the guy to break the curse?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Though exit out, bout of Fresco, Exit swollen Dome. I
hope that.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Hey Brunson broke the curse with that three last night. Baby,
I'll tell you man that dead light down and bad buddy, Buddy,
you've gone to the second round before. Now you're on
eleven percent chance by the implied odds to win against
the Celtics.

That might be.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
That might be my new favorite drop at right, and
that might be my new favorite one.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Yeah yeah, Look at the.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Rockets time out on the floor, Fred van Vliet, the
most underrated player in the NBA, another Big Three. It
is now a twelve point lead for Houston.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
One oh one p. Eighty nine in the.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Fourth quarter, Steve Kerr getting a time out. Hey, you know,
eventually it's gonna end for the Warriors with two older players,
Maybe it comes to a screeching haul tonight in Game
seven's a walkover, but still some time left, some time left.
But speaking of time, every day you can mark time
by the negative headline surrounding Shador Sanders and today was
(15:42):
no different. Another report that hey, guess what, Chador Sanders
now feuding with Cleveland radio host because a guy that
works for his team posted a video of him at
a hospital in Cleveland and now at Chador every single
day at Shador Sanders is the worst.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
My goodness, can we stop joining us now in the
hot line? Nobody better to break down all the big
news in the NFL and.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Tell us just how good the twenty six quarterback class
is going to be the longtime front of the show.
Pete feu Tech. He is on Twitter at Pete few Tech.
The website is college Footballnews dot com. You're one stop
shopping for everything college football. Pete is the owner, editor,
proprietor Grand Pooba Pete. What's happening Man? Happy Friday?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Every last several football seasons, I go on I believe
Thursday afternoons on Cleveland Radio to do my little thing
that I do there. And I was telling you if
Dave's lot, good, god fearing lives, then you know they
you know, they put their castes in on time, help
the neighbor lady take out their garbage. They will be
(16:44):
blessed enough to get Shduur Sanders for the content that
they are going to have on their sports radio show.
Through help this whole thing that is the dream of
like camp Ward. There's nothing to do with that. Maybe
he's maybe he said he likes football.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
That's all it is, Pete, Yeah, that's boring.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Is I think that that was like there was like
a like a ten minute span where there was like
twenty million hits that Google searches for shoulder. First of all,
the spell at right is amazing, and beyond that, just
just the sheer volume that this guy produces. He is
a gift that keeps on giving to the media.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
When are the headlines going to stop beat every day?
It's like, oh, hey, no, no, no, here's a story
about what he did to us in the pre draft beating,
showing he really is immature.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
He doesn't get it.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Like I think we understand that the headlines by now,
I think that the personnel guys that are worried that
we think it's being made up about chador standers.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I think we all kind of know everything by now.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Yeah, you kind of get the how this is all
going to work, and just it's can he play or not?
You know, and if he is really really awesome, and
you know, I've said this a million times, you know,
Dion is probably my favorite player of all time. I
remember at eighty nine. I remember, you know, because Deon
Sanders is the most obnoxious player ever. He's going to
break apart of locker room. Well, you know, your Hall
(18:06):
of Fame talent, you're really good and it's quirky, it's fun,
it's look at him being you know it just one
of the best most charismatic figures ever. And if Shadura
Sanders becomes really really good, then this is all just
start of a you know, a side note here, and
we everyone puts up with it. So again is this chance.
If he can play, everything will be just fine. But
you're right, if he can't, then they're gonna say that
(18:29):
that's the beauty that fits round pick. Then if he
can't play, then again you flush him and you just
go get another quarterback.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yeah. It's really just been a NonStop barrage of headlines
and everybody's got to have their piece and saying it
and that, and that's fine because coming out of the
draft to at the end of the NFL being his
monster says, it is Pete. I mean, you've got to
have storyline, so, you know, without Arch Manning, I got
to assume he sticks around like all his family did
before him. So who do we get to pick apart
(18:56):
next year?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Oh gosh, yeah, I mean it's who's that guy?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Not even the class?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Yeah, I am a believer. I kind of like the
Bill Parcell's line where he always had a problem with
players who didn't come out, like, look, if you're if
you want to be an NFL player, go be an
NFL player. What are you doing? You know, why are
you playing with the college kids? If you want to
play in the NFL, go there. And it's a different
era than it was for Peyton and Eli and you
know back then it was you know, it truly was
(19:24):
the development. They really loved the college life and the
whole thing. I kind of think it's a little different
for Arch. I'm I'm second guessing the whole Manning family
is only the greatest quarterbacking family in existence. I don't
get kind of why that they thought Texas and Steve
Sarkisian and this offense is going to be best for him.
But okay, you know, I kind of think you get
(19:46):
out of there as fast as possible, especially if it
looked like you're going to like what's coming up in
the first or second pick in the draft. If he's
that good, he's still not proven yet, by the way,
so he's still got to show that he can't actually
play at that high level.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Can the class be that good? Pete like, you know, well,
we hears all the twenty six classes protected me. But yeah,
Jo Rowler's getting a lot of pob Obviously he pulled
his name back and stayed for next year. But is
the guys you see, the guys are gonna be the
top of the list for in twenty six for the Heisman,
top of the draft.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Is it that much better than this year?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
It's about the same. If is Carson beck is going
to be good at Miami. I got the talent, it's
all there. But that's a reality show into itself.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
And you're right.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
As Aller's pretty good. And obviously it's Archer busts for
a lot of places, so it's a bit and it's
gonna be guys through rise up, Garrett Enuffmeyer. I don't
know how much people know him or believe in him,
but he's certainly, you know, kind of one of those
guys who's got all the tools should be there, so
it'll be just busing. But the problem is, look, we again,
we're measuring us all by what just happened. Where we
(20:50):
did have Caleb Williams, who's going to be good, and
Jayden Daniels who's obviously amazing, and bow Nicks who was terrific,
and Drake May and Michael Pennocks juniors, they go round
to Jaji McCarthy. You're knocking. That's just such a blip
in history to have a quarterback class that's as good
as the one of two years ago. It's just so
hard to find that again. And I don't think next
(21:11):
years is going to be that either.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Pete taking the thirty thousand foot view, we watched the
fewer number of entry early entries to the NBA draft
process this year. Obviously college football had different animal where
you got to stay the three plus years. But now
that we're going to the courts to try to see
if we can stay there forever and the COVID years
are behind us, Like, what do we anticipate if the
(21:36):
game continues to evolve this coming year.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
It's really hard and look it we're so far past
the idea of these guys being college kids. And it's
it gets lost that, you know, why did the transfer
portal an where it did well? If anybody who has
a kid of high school age knows that yesterday May
Day that was that was National signing Day. Further that
that's when you commit, you know, and that's why you
(22:00):
have to commit. You have to get in there, and
that's what a lot of these players do. And people
forget that transfer it's fine, but you still allegedly have
to sign up for classes and go to school. It's
supposedly to learn stuff. Aha, that's not really how it is.
So now it's it's the idea that you know, you
have diego Pavilla, who's you know, forty four years old,
(22:20):
who's you know still hanging around you? And I can't.
I would do the Tommy Boy line of you know what,
there are people who go to college for seven years.
They're called doctors. But I don't know a lot. I
wanted to forgive me, but it's it's like at some point,
you know, yeah, you got to actually go get a job,
but if you're going to get paid that much money,
is the nil money is kicking in for these old guys.
(22:42):
You are going to have more twenty five year old
grown men playing with the you know, the seventeen and
eighteen year old kids who are coming into this thing,
and it's just going to feel weird.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Ptutech College Footballnews dot Com with us right now, Jason Smith,
Mike Harmon, all right, so beete. If you're looking ahead
at next year, then okay, now we knew coming in, hey,
trap us Hunter was going to be a stud all
that you know obviously here we talk about a couple
of quarterbacks you mentioned. Is Carson bec going to be
that good arch manning coming out? If I said to you, hey,
who are the best players that you talk on top
(23:11):
of the draft? Give me one or two guys that
you're going to see their name, you have no doubt
going to hear their name called in the top five
of the draft next year.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Caleb Downs, He's the one. And that's going to be
the argument where uh you want to get in on
early on this debate how valuable are safeties? I have
never understood it. I've had a coaches and scouts over
my tho these many years of like, why don't you
value safeties more because you get an elite one and
(23:39):
all of a sudden it changes your entire defense. I mean,
just you know, we have to go back aways. Even now,
obviously they're good, but obviously the classics, you know, the
greatest like Keed reid de Troy Polamalu's and Brian Dawkins
and the other guys who can just completely change games.
Safetyes are that they are the game wreckers and game changers.
And here is this guy, Caleb down who is with
(24:00):
the smartest guy from day one. He's just at Alabama
and he was starting for that defense and last year
he was the best, you know, football player in Ohio.
He was probably the best football player in the country.
But he just doesn't have the flashy stats that he
played safety. So the argument becomes, is he like a
number two overall pick? Do you spend that on a
(24:21):
safety when he's just that good? And that's going to
be the big argument coming out next year.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Uh pete, does the Bill Belichick ever coach a game
for North Carolina?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Okay, I'm just gonna say this, and you know, we're
just we're just talking among us, you know, just no, yeah,
when I'm that age, but you know I'm I'm not
Te Belichick on this. You know, who cares if I
can get a woman like that and his book like
him at his age, good for him, but he is
(24:58):
just just like should do Sanders though, if you're good,
all this is just quirky fun. So like, yes, it's
not a good look and they needs a representative University
of North Carolina all that, But North Carolina's schedule is
not that bad. That's like a built in nine wins
season even before you you really start pushing it here,
(25:21):
even for a team that's just gonna be okay. So
for all the stuff we're talking about now in the
off season, way till he gets on the field, way
he gets that team out there, and that team should
be good enough where it's probably gonna be one of
the better teams in recent North Carolina history, only because
the schedule is gonna work out on me.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
So what are you saying ten win team? Ten wins
for North Carolina?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
It's possible, and the ATC is not that great. It's
just miss it, don't I don't have it right in
front of me, But I think they miss like Clemsoner,
so whoever matters, I think they miss and every other
game is pretty pretty doable. So again, yeah, yeah, it
should be an eight or nine win team. It should
(26:04):
be good. As we saw last year with that SMU.
If you catch fire in the right schedule at the
right time, he could be in the mixture, big thing.
So yes, everyone kind of also forgets it. Beyond all this,
he's still an excellent football coach and let's see what
he can do at a collegiate level, because he seems
to really want to do this still.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
So he's on Twitter at Pete feu Tech. That is,
at Pete few Tech. Check out college Footballnews dot com again,
you're one stop shopping for everything college football. Pete is
always buddy, appreciate it, man, enjoy Yeah, the rest of
your weekend.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
We'll talk to you next week. Everyone, guys, there goes
Pete feud Tech.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Caleb Downs. Now think about that for a second. As
great a players, Look, you've heard about Caleb Downs. I've
gotten to see him for the last couple The guy's tremendous, right,
he's smart, he makes all the plays. He got to
know where he is at all times, right, But he's
a safety, number two, number three pick in the draft,
maybe number one pick in the draft.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Do you take a guy? Can you take a safety?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Position for the last you know, twenty years has always
been yeah, good, safeties are great, but they're kind of
get by positions, right, You're you're drafting the edge rusher,
you're drafting the shutdown corner, you're drafting the big defensive tackle,
Like these are the positions like safeties, Yeah, we'll get
we'll find a guy.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Middle linebacker. Yeah, we'll find a smart guy. We'll find
a guy.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Like safety has always been a ah, yeah, we'll get
a guy. We'll get a guy in the second round,
third round. But like Caleb Downs, is he going to
be that Guy's he gonna be taking as high as
Travis Hunter next year. He's just that good. I'm telling
you it's fantastic. But that would really be something to
see a safety. A pure safety doesn't play anywhere else,
doesn't play quarterback, do play wide receiver, doesn't do what
(27:41):
anything else?
Speaker 4 (27:42):
A safety going as high as number two overall in
the draft, just go disrupt games and win a Heisman. No,
that's all you need to do. It's a very short,
very small benchmark to work against.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
The Jason Smiths are with Mike Harmon. Things getting a
little late for the Golden State Warriors and their closeout game.
It is the Rockets up by fourteen with three and
a half left to go. We'll have more on this

seven between the Rockets and the Warriors.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Two minutes left to go. Rockets lead at one twelve.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Ninety nine, still some time left a little bit of time,
but getting real short for the Warriors. We'll have more
in this game coming up in a little bit less
than fifteen minutes, but thanks to Petefutech for stopping by.
College Footballnews dot Com. Says, Yeah, the twenty twenty six
quarterback class, it's kind of about.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Like this one.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
But wait, everybody said all week, Oh, the twenty twenty
six class is supposed to be so good.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Yeah, uh, maybe not so much. But I like your
half assed Beano cook there. You didn't go full Bino,
but you kind of invoked his memory for me there.
I appreciate you. It's a farce, Jason, listen to me.
It's not that good.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I can't even name half of the guys they're talking about.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
I don't know how good. Uh, But because it's Friday,
we throw this out there. Here's a big hot take
for college football for this year.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Right. Obviously, the Bill Belichick Jordan Hudson drama has been
everywhere this week, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
I can see multiple stories, you know.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Petefeutech said a few minutes go that, Yeah, you know, listen,
winning will cure everything. If North Carolina wins ten games,
everything will be fine. People are gonna forget all of this.
But I always kind of go back to what my
dad said to me a few years ago, and we
were gonna have plans for his seventy fifth birthday, and
I said, Dad, you're gonna be seventy five.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
What do you want to do?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And and you know it's coming up in a few
months to goes, uh, gotta get there first. I'm like, okay,
I know that, I know that, but let's you know,
let's plan for your seventy We can plan because I
gotta get there. So I'm like, Okay, you don't want
to jinx anything till you get right there. Okay, that's fine,
And yeah, I hear you that. You know, hey, if
North Carolina has a big year, that'll save Bill Belichick.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
But got to get there first.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
And it is April and already there's all kinds of
questions about Belichick and Jordan Hudson and North Carolina to
the point where you saw TMZ had the story this
week that North Carolina is really concerned about this situation
with Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson because here it's bad
publicity for North Carolina wherever they turn. And the fact
(31:02):
that Belichick is okay with the bad publicity.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
For North Carolina he's alright with it.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
He is all right with the fact that this whole
thing has been a train wreck and it's been nothing
but embarrassing. Yeah, he might not care. We talked about
him last night. He's in the IDGF part of his
life and career. He does not care, does not care.
If he cared, he would be very, very concerned about
his public image because he's got to worry about recruits.
He's got to worry about playings. They worry about getting
players to buy in. These are not players. Oh, Bill Belichick,
(31:30):
he's got to and he's not. And North Carolina sees that, boy,
is he really looking out for us here at North Carolina.
I can see a couple of scenarios where he never
coaches a game for North Carolina and they're gonna run
out some interim head coach before the season begins. Right
if this thing gets out of control, this is like
I said, this Belichick Jordan Hudson thing is a freight
(31:52):
train right now. If he has to choose, if North
Carolina says, hey, we can't have this, and he's basically
got to choose North Carolina or her, what's Bill.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Belichick gonna choose?
Speaker 1 (32:05):
If North Carolinia. You gotta make a choice right now.
You gotta choose. You gotta choose your girlfriend or us.
What's he gonna choose. He's gould be the greatest insertion. Uh,
and you got appropriate insertion of power.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Ever we release the press David, you know we're having
this big press conference. What what's what's it all about?
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Just wait, Yeah, it's like, I mean, Jackie check one
of these boxes, like giving him a poll question.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I mean, we've already seen the stories that that it's
not been fun at North Carolina. There's a lot of
people in and around the program. It's not been a
fun program to be around.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
North Carolina could also just say, you know what, this
has been a big mistake and it's not working. And
once you get close enough to the season to where
you know players aren't going to back out and they're
gonna go play this year, they make a change. Admittedly,
it would take a lot or a line in the
sand the Belichick crosses, but you can't say the chance
is close to zero, like there's this is the end
(32:59):
of ape or you're talking May, June, July, almost all
of August.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
This is something that's gotten to be such a.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Big deal in a week a week for this, and
you know with both of them, you know, Jordan Hudson,
she wants the fast lane.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
This is what she's Lady Macbeth the entire way. She
wants this.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
There's no slowing down with this Belichick freight train, right,
there's no slowing this down. Either North Carolina can ask
him to make a decision, or North Carolina could just say,
you know what this is. We told you last night.
Bill Belichick is not the same guy he was. This
is not the same guy from the last thirty five
forty years in the NFL. He is really in an
IDGAF part of his life and he's not the same guy.
(33:42):
He's letting things go that he would never let go before,
but he's letting them go now because again, he's seventy three.
He's did a twenty four year old every day whatever,
I don'tay, I'm wearing ripped T shirts and television interviews
like I'm in a rock bander, I'm twenty one years old,
went from to.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Wear vision streetwear stuff next day, I'm really cool.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
North Carolina could say this is just not what we thought.
We have to make a move and we know it stinks,
but we're gonna do it now so we can at
least go through this year. The new coaching staff can
get in and be in and make decisions and do things,
and we don't lose recruits or a big recruiting cycle
like I can see that happening with Belichick at North Carolina.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Again, Chances not zero, buddy. I was trying to find
odds because I figured they had you out there somewhere.
One of the first headlines spit back at me was
from CBS Sports. I have no idea who the writer is.
I'm not gonna click in and shaming or her quote
why North Carolina interviewing Bill Belichick is just a giant
publicity stunt parenthetical that got the desired results in rewind,
(34:45):
I gotta imagine, yeah, you know, good publicity. Maybe you
got a little uptick in applications, early notifications, whatever the
case may be. People backtracking now and what's the feeling
around the facilities, Like that's the curiosity for me, Like
what's the infrastructure folks working under Belichick, how are they
(35:06):
feeling about all of this? And what is his girlfriend's
true involvement to it? All? Right, because we get the headlines,
and obviously she's copied on stuff, but that you might
copy someone who's your right hand person, like we were
talking about the other day. So yeah, curiosity. These next
couple of months, it's just very long couple of months
(35:27):
again long Way until September.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Long Way chances are zero exit out by to Fresco
exit Swalling Dome. Coming up next, we break down the
biggest story of the night in the NBA. Keep it

Speaker 4 (00:57):
All right, Mike Carmon, before we get into lebron, I
got a question for you.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Hit me gut reaction right now? Yeap worse playoffs so far?
The Lakers or Connor Hellibuk worse playoffs so far to this.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Point, Lakers or Helli Buck. I will say this since
most folks have no idea, No, no, they know we had.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
That Nations, We had that whole big We had the
whole big thing earlier this year is a very big deal.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
We had that USA cat And everybody knows Connor Hellibuck. Everybody. Yeah,
there's there's a bit of a flashy thing that goes on. Hey,
that was great, all right, back to back to whatever
the shiny object is.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
No.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I mean, look, there's a lot of excuses now for
the Lakers. Seemingly everybody had a torn this, that or
the other in Game five, so you got that going.
But so so the Lakers win because they take up
more oxygen. But your your reality check is probably correct.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
He's giving up twenty goals in the last four games
of this He got and he got old tonight, he
got got, he got figured out. He's the best American
goalie in the history of hockey. He is the best American.
He's probably gonna win MVP this year. And he's giving
up twenty goals in the.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Least forty seven to twelve and three, with a two
point oh one goals against average and a ninety three
percent save percentage. For the year, he had eight shutouts. Yeah,
that's more than all of Major League Baseball the last
three years. Come out, Okay, I'm just kidding. The White
Sox got shut out at least that many times. But
uh yeah, all of that to say, we talk about
(02:35):
second seasons and regular seasons not mattering. It's only appropriate
that we talk about him and the Lakers in the
same sentence.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
You know, and you know, I have two words that
could just you know that that could sum this all
up for you. Oh you're gonna go degeneration X I
could I can two words gonna sum this whole thing up.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Okay, what are those two words? Jets yo? Oh wow, Isaac?
Do you thought it was slo punched my ass? You
just had it dangling out there.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I'm like, come on, come on, bam. Yeah, Saar Thompson.
You thought I was going left. Instead, I dead legged.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
You and came back and hit that three, and good
night everybody. You thought I slide to the left, my
leg was broken to the left. Slide to the left.
Uh so again.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Halftime fifty three, forty eight lead for the Rockets over
the Warriors. Will have more on this game coming up
in a few minutes, but big news today. If the
Lakers had continued to go on in the playoffs instead
of getting eliminated by the t Wolves, they would likely
be without Lebron James, maybe for the rest of the playoffs,
as it was reported today that he suffered a Grade
(03:44):
two MCL sprain in his left knee during the fourth
quarter of Game five, the big play where everybody said, oh,
Lebron is flopping when Dante DiVincenzo ran into him. That
was the play he gets called for an offensive foul.
Lebron James goes down, and of course all the flopping memes.
Look this, this is what happens when you flop and
you're Lebron and you're you know, Yokitchen, you start flopping.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
This is how it goes.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
But a pretty serious injury for Lebron. At the end
of Game five, he would have been out for at
least the next few weeks. It's a three to five
week recommended recovery timeline. Now, Lebron is somewhat of a
good healer, so he probably would have come back a
little bit sooner. But let's say comes back three weeks,
like are the Lakers even playing?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
They're not.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And you know, when I saw this today, the first
thing I did was say, Okay, it's it's legit.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
We're not saying, hey Lebron, we're deflecting the blame of
the Lakers losing. Oh look but Lebron was hurt. Can't
blame him.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
No. That's the sad, sad reality of it, though, Jason,
is that that's everybody's first first reaction because did you
think anything about his knee when that play happened. No,
it was oh wow, he ran into this guy. And
now because none of his teammates even looked at him,
it's like, get.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Up, Yeah, they're gonna have a little something something for
Devincenzo next year. You know, the big axe ham on
Luca and now this on Lebron. But I mean that's
a for Okay, is this legit? I mean, look, I
know there's gonna be a lot of conspiracy theories. You
would say, well, it was a source close to ESPN
the telling them okay, it's an MRI. I really think
if people need to see it, they'd see the MRI.
(05:15):
This is a doctor thing. This is where people lose
their jobs and doctors lose their jobs. So I'm i'm
I'm okay that it's a legitimate injury for Lebron James
and he would have been I'm okay with that.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Were you were you trying to say, has mcmenimon replace
Brian Windhorse as the Lebron guyte So why would why
would why would Dave mcmanimon report this with my fingers
in the air like Windhorse?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Now, like if this was a middle of the season,
it's a sprain and the Lakers were coming up on
you know, eight games and uh in six days like
they were earlier this year, you know, the other games
Lebron missed, I would say, okay, maybe a little bit,
but I'm out.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I'll go legit.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Hey, here's Lebron mcl sprain and he would have been
out for the rest of the playoffs. I can't shake
the feeling and this is a big deal. I can't
shake the feeling that he is in a next year
or bust in Los Angeles that unless the Lakers have
a really big playoff run next year is his last
(06:14):
year in LA. Now, not his last year in the league,
because you see the level he is still playing at.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
He's playing.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I mean, look, with the guy, the level he's playing
at at forty, he could play another five years. You know,
he still wants to keep playing now Cleveland is really good,
So one more year, saying, hey, what if the King
comes home and maybe I win a championship or one
more and I finish. I finished, just an acrond kid
finishing in Cleveland, right like. I could see him doing that.
I could see him saying, hey, wait a minute, I
always wanted to play in Madison Square Garden. The finally,
(06:41):
itch want itch, I want to scratch. What do you
guys think I'll take less money whatever. Lebron's not gonna
just play again, and he's gonna play after it. But
I just can't shake the sense that next year could
be the final one for him with the Lakers because
he's losing his influence in the organization.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
You could see it.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
He ran the team for so long, right him and
Rich Paul and Ad and Clutch Sports. We got the
guys we wanted, We drafted the guys we wanted, we
signed the free agenc we wanted, and now the Lakers
in making that Luka Doncic move have retaken the organization. Right,
Ad is gone, who is Lebron's best friend, which on
the team at the time, which was gonna, you know,
stop them from making decisions.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
They were so powerful.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Now Lebron seems kind of isolated as the team retools
around Luka Doncic. Right, they're probably gonna go get a
big in the offseason because Luca needs that guy that
he can run and throw alley oops to that rim runner,
Like that's what they're gonna do.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
But he's done the LA thing. Now, he's been to LA.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
He's he's built his whatever empire he's going to build
in Los Angeles. Right, His kids are gonna be gone.
They're all going to be in college and out of
the house. Outside of a big run next year and
maybe another NBA Finals, Like next year is it for Lebron?
Because if you had the Lakers are saying right now, Okay,
what did we see was this season of failure? Yeah
(07:59):
it was absolutely was a failure. But Luke and Lebron
played together for three months. They played really well together.
They really got there in such a short time. Their
chemistry was undeniable. So do we blow it up?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Do we move away from Lebron now, No, it doesn't
make sense. It seems like a panic move. So let's
adjust around them for next season. And if next season
doesn't work, then we have a big decision to make.
Then it's to say, Okay, thank you, Lebron, you've been great,
we won, we'll retire your jersey, we'll do it, you know,
we'll do all these things. But we are moving on
(08:34):
now because we're building around Luca, and Luca needs somebody
else or another sort of roster configuration that works best
to build around him. Luca is the Lakers now, and
Lebron sees that even in him talking, he sounds like
a guy that is no longer talking about me as
the focal point of the organization and more like, hey,
(08:54):
I'm at arms length, man, I'm on the outside just
like you.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
You're to say stuff like hey, I told Luca, when
it comes your next contract, you do you.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I'm not gonna be around much longer.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Like it seems like he's sort of pulling back a
little bit from where he was because he knows this
is how it's going, that the Lakers are retaking the organization.
So I unless it's a big run for the Lakers
next year. That's it because Lakers can go. Okay, so
we had two years of Lebron and Luca didn't work. Okay,
Lebron is forty one, Lucas twenty six. This is where
we have to go, like unless it's a big run, Like,
(09:23):
that's it for Lebron with the Lakers next season.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Yeah. I mean, he's got the one year player option
fifty two million bucks we've talked about, and you know,
some speculation he comes back either to the Lakers or
should he decide to go elsewhere for lesser money, whether
it's you know, your dream scenario of Cleveland or whatever else.
But it is a curiosity, right his pos postgame commentary
(09:47):
where he was being glib and snarky and throwing out right,
I can't answer a thing about the roster because hey,
that got ad shipped out after he talked ha ha.
But just showing that his response to the Luca questions
about you know, recruiting and getting him to sign long
term whatever, saying, hey, that's not my job, that's not
(10:09):
what I'm here for. No, no, well, I mean that's
the guy's kind of readily admitting it's like, hey, I
maybe here a year or two or three years longer.
But you're looking at the larger picture and that will
not include me, you know, even throwing up very very openly,
I'm forty years old, man, I'm forty. He wants him mad,
(10:31):
he's forty, right, yeah, no, he wants that love. Now.
You know, he's at that age in the sports continuum
where we have to say and forty year old Lebron James,
like we did that with Tom Brady forty year old
Tom Brady now forty year old Aaron Rodgers. But for
the Lakers, obviously they've got a lot of roster decisions
to make. They can joke all they want about conditioning,
(10:51):
and Reddy can do that. I mean, you could you
believe that there was even the need to put out
that report the athletic did that JJ Reddick's job was safe.
You're talking about all sorts of noise and chaos, et cetera,
and Lebron's future. I'm sorry, it's not the top, top
thing on that board. Yeah right, he's important to things
(11:12):
for the next year. Obviously, if he opts in fifty
two million dollars is a lot of scratch that precludes
you from really being too active in the marketplace. Now
they do retain the trade pieces that didn't go from
the one that got rescinded, but that those are trade
pieces that need to be done. And did they break
(11:32):
Dalton connect in the process, right? So well, yeah, shoot,
and he can't play defense. How do you fix him?
Oh no, don't stay on your roster or if he's
gonna get sold off though now he's a damaged product
and he's a bag of balls.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I don't know that these damage I think he was Hey,
he was teams are gonna see him as boy. He
was a pretty good rookie when he got a chance
to play. Then he got traded. The Lakers didn't know
what to do with him after when the trade got rescinded. No,
he'll be the guy that goes into trade.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
The other end knows that. I mean, this is really
another test run for the negative column, at least short
term of Lebron the GM because that was his guy.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, now we're training the guy you
wanted to pay like, I mean, like the the like
Lebron and the Lakers are moving away from it. It's
it's one of those like a marriage where you don't
realize you're moving the part, but you sort of do
and you're not actively doing it, but you're sort of,
you know, subconsciously doing it and making decisions that maybe
(12:28):
you don't realize.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
But that's when they're moving towards.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
So next off season, if it happens, it will be
a hey, well we're thinking that maybe, and Lebron's saying,
I'm thinking maybe I should. Okay, great, great, we no
it needs to say anything. Okay, great, thanks, We shake
hands and we part. That's how it's gonna go.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
See. I would love if he just opted out and
then randomly signed somewhere else. Yeah. Easy. I think it
would be the greatest move ever. Turned out less money.
He doesn't turn down less, no, no, fifty two million dollars.
He's hey, man, I did that thing in Miami years ago.
It's like, yeah, you didn't. You didn't really make a
ton less that was made up off the court, uh
in in other products and endorsements, et cetera. But the
(13:05):
other curious thing was the amount of legs and attention
the Lebron statement on his future, Like, who the hell
ever thought he would retire after this season?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
No, I mean it's not me.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
He's still it's gotta be asked, but I mean, come on,
but now he's got a real Okay, we're not gonna win.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Oh hey boy, the calves are looking really good. Cas Hey,
maybe one more time? What do you guys think? Or
the Knicks?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Right, Kasa, the two places, look at you, those are
the only places he would go.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Right.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
But if he went to the Knicks, would he suddenly
stink in the garden? Would it not be as special anymore?
Look at Lebron, still looking for his first bucket at MSG.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
We're in game number seventeen. He's got some free throws,
but he just can't hit any there's another miss buy
Lebron and it's only warm ups.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
He seems distracted by the arrival of Timothy Chalomey again. Well,
then I think you realize it.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Okay, if he did go to the Knicks, that would
be when it's over, okay, because they aren't going to
work out what the Knicks too will be wrong.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
And that's where.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Lebron all of a sudden scores twelve a game that
would he be the guy to break the curse?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Though exit out, bout of Fresco, Exit swollen Dome. I
hope that.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Hey Brunson broke the curse with that three last night. Baby,
I'll tell you man that dead light down and bad buddy, Buddy,
you've gone to the second round before. Now you're on
eleven percent chance by the implied odds to win against
the Celtics.
Speaker 4 (14:28):

That might be.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
That might be my new favorite drop at right, and
that might be my new favorite one.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Yeah yeah, Look at the.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Rockets time out on the floor, Fred van Vliet, the
most underrated player in the NBA, another Big Three. It
is now a twelve point lead for Houston.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
One oh one p. Eighty nine in the.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Fourth quarter, Steve Kerr getting a time out. Hey, you know,
eventually it's gonna end for the Warriors with two older players,
Maybe it comes to a screeching haul tonight in Game
seven's a walkover, but still some time left, some time left.
But speaking of time, every day you can mark time
by the negative headline surrounding Shador Sanders and today was
(15:42):
no different. Another report that hey, guess what, Chador Sanders
now feuding with Cleveland radio host because a guy that
works for his team posted a video of him at
a hospital in Cleveland and now at Chador every single
day at Shador Sanders is the worst.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
My goodness, can we stop joining us now in the
hot line? Nobody better to break down all the big
news in the NFL and.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Tell us just how good the twenty six quarterback class
is going to be the longtime front of the show.
Pete feu Tech. He is on Twitter at Pete few Tech.
The website is college Footballnews dot com. You're one stop
shopping for everything college football. Pete is the owner, editor,
proprietor Grand Pooba Pete. What's happening Man? Happy Friday?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Every last several football seasons, I go on I believe
Thursday afternoons on Cleveland Radio to do my little thing
that I do there. And I was telling you if
Dave's lot, good, god fearing lives, then you know they
you know, they put their castes in on time, help
the neighbor lady take out their garbage. They will be
(16:44):
blessed enough to get Shduur Sanders for the content that
they are going to have on their sports radio show.
Through help this whole thing that is the dream of
like camp Ward. There's nothing to do with that. Maybe
he's maybe he said he likes football.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
That's all it is, Pete, Yeah, that's boring.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Is I think that that was like there was like
a like a ten minute span where there was like
twenty million hits that Google searches for shoulder. First of all,
the spell at right is amazing, and beyond that, just
just the sheer volume that this guy produces. He is
a gift that keeps on giving to the media.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
When are the headlines going to stop beat every day?
It's like, oh, hey, no, no, no, here's a story
about what he did to us in the pre draft beating,
showing he really is immature.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
He doesn't get it.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Like I think we understand that the headlines by now,
I think that the personnel guys that are worried that
we think it's being made up about chador standers.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I think we all kind of know everything by now.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Yeah, you kind of get the how this is all
going to work, and just it's can he play or not?
You know, and if he is really really awesome, and
you know, I've said this a million times, you know,
Dion is probably my favorite player of all time. I
remember at eighty nine. I remember, you know, because Deon
Sanders is the most obnoxious player ever. He's going to
break apart of locker room. Well, you know, your Hall
(18:06):
of Fame talent, you're really good and it's quirky, it's fun,
it's look at him being you know it just one
of the best most charismatic figures ever. And if Shadura
Sanders becomes really really good, then this is all just
start of a you know, a side note here, and
we everyone puts up with it. So again is this chance.
If he can play, everything will be just fine. But
you're right, if he can't, then they're gonna say that
(18:29):
that's the beauty that fits round pick. Then if he
can't play, then again you flush him and you just
go get another quarterback.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yeah. It's really just been a NonStop barrage of headlines
and everybody's got to have their piece and saying it
and that, and that's fine because coming out of the
draft to at the end of the NFL being his
monster says, it is Pete. I mean, you've got to
have storyline, so, you know, without Arch Manning, I got
to assume he sticks around like all his family did
before him. So who do we get to pick apart
(18:56):
next year?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Oh gosh, yeah, I mean it's who's that guy?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Not even the class?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Yeah, I am a believer. I kind of like the
Bill Parcell's line where he always had a problem with
players who didn't come out, like, look, if you're if
you want to be an NFL player, go be an
NFL player. What are you doing? You know, why are
you playing with the college kids? If you want to
play in the NFL, go there. And it's a different
era than it was for Peyton and Eli and you
know back then it was you know, it truly was
(19:24):
the development. They really loved the college life and the
whole thing. I kind of think it's a little different
for Arch. I'm I'm second guessing the whole Manning family
is only the greatest quarterbacking family in existence. I don't
get kind of why that they thought Texas and Steve
Sarkisian and this offense is going to be best for him.
But okay, you know, I kind of think you get
(19:46):
out of there as fast as possible, especially if it
looked like you're going to like what's coming up in
the first or second pick in the draft. If he's
that good, he's still not proven yet, by the way,
so he's still got to show that he can't actually
play at that high level.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Can the class be that good? Pete like, you know, well,
we hears all the twenty six classes protected me. But yeah,
Jo Rowler's getting a lot of pob Obviously he pulled
his name back and stayed for next year. But is
the guys you see, the guys are gonna be the
top of the list for in twenty six for the Heisman,
top of the draft.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Is it that much better than this year?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
It's about the same. If is Carson beck is going
to be good at Miami. I got the talent, it's
all there. But that's a reality show into itself.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
And you're right.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
As Aller's pretty good. And obviously it's Archer busts for
a lot of places, so it's a bit and it's
gonna be guys through rise up, Garrett Enuffmeyer. I don't
know how much people know him or believe in him,
but he's certainly, you know, kind of one of those
guys who's got all the tools should be there, so
it'll be just busing. But the problem is, look, we again,
we're measuring us all by what just happened. Where we
(20:50):
did have Caleb Williams, who's going to be good, and
Jayden Daniels who's obviously amazing, and bow Nicks who was terrific,
and Drake May and Michael Pennocks juniors, they go round
to Jaji McCarthy. You're knocking. That's just such a blip
in history to have a quarterback class that's as good
as the one of two years ago. It's just so
hard to find that again. And I don't think next
(21:11):
years is going to be that either.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Pete taking the thirty thousand foot view, we watched the
fewer number of entry early entries to the NBA draft
process this year. Obviously college football had different animal where
you got to stay the three plus years. But now
that we're going to the courts to try to see
if we can stay there forever and the COVID years
are behind us, Like, what do we anticipate if the
(21:36):
game continues to evolve this coming year.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
It's really hard and look it we're so far past
the idea of these guys being college kids. And it's
it gets lost that, you know, why did the transfer
portal an where it did well? If anybody who has
a kid of high school age knows that yesterday May
Day that was that was National signing Day. Further that
that's when you commit, you know, and that's why you
(22:00):
have to commit. You have to get in there, and
that's what a lot of these players do. And people
forget that transfer it's fine, but you still allegedly have
to sign up for classes and go to school. It's
supposedly to learn stuff. Aha, that's not really how it is.
So now it's it's the idea that you know, you
have diego Pavilla, who's you know, forty four years old,
(22:20):
who's you know still hanging around you? And I can't.
I would do the Tommy Boy line of you know what,
there are people who go to college for seven years.
They're called doctors. But I don't know a lot. I
wanted to forgive me, but it's it's like at some point,
you know, yeah, you got to actually go get a job,
but if you're going to get paid that much money,
is the nil money is kicking in for these old guys.
(22:42):
You are going to have more twenty five year old
grown men playing with the you know, the seventeen and
eighteen year old kids who are coming into this thing,
and it's just going to feel weird.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Ptutech College Footballnews dot Com with us right now, Jason Smith,
Mike Harmon, all right, so beete. If you're looking ahead
at next year, then okay, now we knew coming in, hey,
trap us Hunter was going to be a stud all
that you know obviously here we talk about a couple
of quarterbacks you mentioned. Is Carson bec going to be
that good arch manning coming out? If I said to you, hey,
who are the best players that you talk on top
(23:11):
of the draft? Give me one or two guys that
you're going to see their name, you have no doubt
going to hear their name called in the top five
of the draft next year.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Caleb Downs, He's the one. And that's going to be
the argument where uh you want to get in on
early on this debate how valuable are safeties? I have
never understood it. I've had a coaches and scouts over
my tho these many years of like, why don't you
value safeties more because you get an elite one and
(23:39):
all of a sudden it changes your entire defense. I mean,
just you know, we have to go back aways. Even now,
obviously they're good, but obviously the classics, you know, the
greatest like Keed reid de Troy Polamalu's and Brian Dawkins
and the other guys who can just completely change games.
Safetyes are that they are the game wreckers and game changers.
And here is this guy, Caleb down who is with
(24:00):
the smartest guy from day one. He's just at Alabama
and he was starting for that defense and last year
he was the best, you know, football player in Ohio.
He was probably the best football player in the country.
But he just doesn't have the flashy stats that he
played safety. So the argument becomes, is he like a
number two overall pick? Do you spend that on a
(24:21):
safety when he's just that good? And that's going to
be the big argument coming out next year.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Uh pete, does the Bill Belichick ever coach a game
for North Carolina?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Okay, I'm just gonna say this, and you know, we're
just we're just talking among us, you know, just no, yeah,
when I'm that age, but you know I'm I'm not
Te Belichick on this. You know, who cares if I
can get a woman like that and his book like
him at his age, good for him, but he is
(24:58):
just just like should do Sanders though, if you're good,
all this is just quirky fun. So like, yes, it's
not a good look and they needs a representative University
of North Carolina all that, But North Carolina's schedule is
not that bad. That's like a built in nine wins
season even before you you really start pushing it here,
(25:21):
even for a team that's just gonna be okay. So
for all the stuff we're talking about now in the
off season, way till he gets on the field, way
he gets that team out there, and that team should
be good enough where it's probably gonna be one of
the better teams in recent North Carolina history, only because
the schedule is gonna work out on me.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
So what are you saying ten win team? Ten wins
for North Carolina?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
It's possible, and the ATC is not that great. It's
just miss it, don't I don't have it right in
front of me, But I think they miss like Clemsoner,
so whoever matters, I think they miss and every other
game is pretty pretty doable. So again, yeah, yeah, it
should be an eight or nine win team. It should
(26:04):
be good. As we saw last year with that SMU.
If you catch fire in the right schedule at the
right time, he could be in the mixture, big thing.
So yes, everyone kind of also forgets it. Beyond all this,
he's still an excellent football coach and let's see what
he can do at a collegiate level, because he seems
to really want to do this still.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
So he's on Twitter at Pete feu Tech. That is,
at Pete few Tech. Check out college Footballnews dot com again,
you're one stop shopping for everything college football. Pete is
always buddy, appreciate it, man, enjoy Yeah, the rest of
your weekend.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
We'll talk to you next week. Everyone, guys, there goes
Pete feud Tech.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Caleb Downs. Now think about that for a second. As
great a players, Look, you've heard about Caleb Downs. I've
gotten to see him for the last couple The guy's tremendous, right,
he's smart, he makes all the plays. He got to
know where he is at all times, right, But he's
a safety, number two, number three pick in the draft,
maybe number one pick in the draft.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Do you take a guy? Can you take a safety?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Position for the last you know, twenty years has always
been yeah, good, safeties are great, but they're kind of
get by positions, right, You're you're drafting the edge rusher,
you're drafting the shutdown corner, you're drafting the big defensive tackle,
Like these are the positions like safeties, Yeah, we'll get
we'll find a guy.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Middle linebacker. Yeah, we'll find a smart guy. We'll find
a guy.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Like safety has always been a ah, yeah, we'll get
a guy. We'll get a guy in the second round,
third round. But like Caleb Downs, is he going to
be that Guy's he gonna be taking as high as
Travis Hunter next year. He's just that good. I'm telling
you it's fantastic. But that would really be something to
see a safety. A pure safety doesn't play anywhere else,
doesn't play quarterback, do play wide receiver, doesn't do what
(27:41):
anything else?
Speaker 4 (27:42):
A safety going as high as number two overall in
the draft, just go disrupt games and win a Heisman. No,
that's all you need to do. It's a very short,
very small benchmark to work against.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
The Jason Smiths are with Mike Harmon. Things getting a
little late for the Golden State Warriors and their closeout game.
It is the Rockets up by fourteen with three and
a half left to go. We'll have more on this

College Footballnews dot Com. Says, Yeah, the twenty twenty six
quarterback class, it's kind of about.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Like this one.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
But wait, everybody said all week, Oh, the twenty twenty
six class is supposed to be so good.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Yeah, uh, maybe not so much. But I like your
half assed Beano cook there. You didn't go full Bino,
but you kind of invoked his memory for me there.
I appreciate you. It's a farce, Jason, listen to me.
It's not that good.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I can't even name half of the guys they're talking about.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
I don't know how good. Uh, But because it's Friday,
we throw this out there. Here's a big hot take
for college football for this year.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Right. Obviously, the Bill Belichick Jordan Hudson drama has been
everywhere this week, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
I can see multiple stories, you know.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Petefeutech said a few minutes go that, Yeah, you know, listen,
winning will cure everything. If North Carolina wins ten games,
everything will be fine. People are gonna forget all of this.
But I always kind of go back to what my
dad said to me a few years ago, and we
were gonna have plans for his seventy fifth birthday, and
I said, Dad, you're gonna be seventy five.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
What do you want to do?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And and you know it's coming up in a few
months to goes, uh, gotta get there first. I'm like, okay,
I know that, I know that, but let's you know,
let's plan for your seventy We can plan because I
gotta get there. So I'm like, Okay, you don't want
to jinx anything till you get right there. Okay, that's fine,
And yeah, I hear you that. You know, hey, if
North Carolina has a big year, that'll save Bill Belichick.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
But got to get there first.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
And it is April and already there's all kinds of
questions about Belichick and Jordan Hudson and North Carolina to
the point where you saw TMZ had the story this
week that North Carolina is really concerned about this situation
with Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson because here it's bad
publicity for North Carolina wherever they turn. And the fact
(31:02):
that Belichick is okay with the bad publicity.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
For North Carolina he's alright with it.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
He is all right with the fact that this whole
thing has been a train wreck and it's been nothing
but embarrassing. Yeah, he might not care. We talked about
him last night. He's in the IDGF part of his
life and career. He does not care, does not care.
If he cared, he would be very, very concerned about
his public image because he's got to worry about recruits.
He's got to worry about playings. They worry about getting
players to buy in. These are not players. Oh, Bill Belichick,
(31:30):
he's got to and he's not. And North Carolina sees that, boy,
is he really looking out for us here at North Carolina.
I can see a couple of scenarios where he never
coaches a game for North Carolina and they're gonna run
out some interim head coach before the season begins. Right
if this thing gets out of control, this is like
I said, this Belichick Jordan Hudson thing is a freight
(31:52):
train right now. If he has to choose, if North
Carolina says, hey, we can't have this, and he's basically
got to choose North Carolina or her, what's Bill.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Belichick gonna choose?
Speaker 1 (32:05):
If North Carolinia. You gotta make a choice right now.
You gotta choose. You gotta choose your girlfriend or us.
What's he gonna choose. He's gould be the greatest insertion. Uh,
and you got appropriate insertion of power.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Ever we release the press David, you know we're having
this big press conference. What what's what's it all about?
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Just wait, Yeah, it's like, I mean, Jackie check one
of these boxes, like giving him a poll question.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I mean, we've already seen the stories that that it's
not been fun at North Carolina. There's a lot of
people in and around the program. It's not been a
fun program to be around.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
North Carolina could also just say, you know what, this
has been a big mistake and it's not working. And
once you get close enough to the season to where
you know players aren't going to back out and they're
gonna go play this year, they make a change. Admittedly,
it would take a lot or a line in the
sand the Belichick crosses, but you can't say the chance
is close to zero, like there's this is the end
(32:59):
of ape or you're talking May, June, July, almost all
of August.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
This is something that's gotten to be such a.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Big deal in a week a week for this, and
you know with both of them, you know, Jordan Hudson,
she wants the fast lane.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
This is what she's Lady Macbeth the entire way. She
wants this.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
There's no slowing down with this Belichick freight train, right,
there's no slowing this down. Either North Carolina can ask
him to make a decision, or North Carolina could just say,
you know what this is. We told you last night.
Bill Belichick is not the same guy he was. This
is not the same guy from the last thirty five
forty years in the NFL. He is really in an
IDGAF part of his life and he's not the same guy.
(33:42):
He's letting things go that he would never let go before,
but he's letting them go now because again, he's seventy three.
He's did a twenty four year old every day whatever,
I don'tay, I'm wearing ripped T shirts and television interviews
like I'm in a rock bander, I'm twenty one years old,
went from to.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Wear vision streetwear stuff next day, I'm really cool.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
North Carolina could say this is just not what we thought.
We have to make a move and we know it stinks,
but we're gonna do it now so we can at
least go through this year. The new coaching staff can
get in and be in and make decisions and do things,
and we don't lose recruits or a big recruiting cycle
like I can see that happening with Belichick at North Carolina.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Again, Chances not zero, buddy. I was trying to find
odds because I figured they had you out there somewhere.
One of the first headlines spit back at me was
from CBS Sports. I have no idea who the writer is.
I'm not gonna click in and shaming or her quote
why North Carolina interviewing Bill Belichick is just a giant
publicity stunt parenthetical that got the desired results in rewind,
(34:45):
I gotta imagine, yeah, you know, good publicity. Maybe you
got a little uptick in applications, early notifications, whatever the
case may be. People backtracking now and what's the feeling
around the facilities, Like that's the curiosity for me, Like
what's the infrastructure folks working under Belichick, how are they
(35:06):
feeling about all of this? And what is his girlfriend's
true involvement to it? All? Right, because we get the headlines,
and obviously she's copied on stuff, but that you might
copy someone who's your right hand person, like we were
talking about the other day. So yeah, curiosity. These next
couple of months, it's just very long couple of months
(35:27):
again long Way until September.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Long Way chances are zero exit out by to Fresco
exit Swalling Dome. Coming up next, we break down the
biggest story of the night in the NBA. Keep it
right here, Fox
