(01:06):
I am Duke or bust my Carman, which I guess
I was in the beginning of the tournament. I am
if Duke wins, yeah, Duke is out. There's no more
tournament tournaments. There's a lot of red ink after four days,
no question about it. I still have three of my
final four alive, including my title game and champions so
but a lot of red ink. Otherwise. They're the whole
(01:27):
right side of the bracket for me was you might
as well have had, uh, you know, Bick, your favorite
painter just come in and do one of those giant
blotches over the top of my bracket. That's how poor,
how poorly I picked that side of things. It's like
a Pollock painting. I'm just gonna send me here, paint
all over and then just draw it all, use my
hands and do all stuff. I did what I was doing,
(01:50):
hands on our right. I was a docent oftentimes for
Maddie's and Eleanor's classes as they were growing up, and
then they finally hit a point saying you've done enough,
let some of these other lazy people take over, which
got it funny because then when they beg for doze
and still see the emails or flyers, but like, please don't.
It was funny. Everybody loved me, but we did Pollock
at one point, and they they're like, here, here's the
(02:12):
video clip to use. And it was this cool jazz
behind it, right, so like you know, a little scatting
and the whole thing. But he's in a driveway and
he's got tarp out and he's painting, and he's smoking
like a damn chimney the entire time. Like he finishes one,
he couldn't like the next fast enough, and the whole
(02:33):
time said there going, this is the video you decided
we needed to bring into the school because a couple
of points it gets it closes. Uh, you get the
close up shot and there he's taking a nice long drag.
It's like in the background, like a guy with the
stand up base clearly here. And then he starts painting
again and it starts to speed up and he's bouncing
(02:54):
all over the start, but it's just I just remember
him the slow motion almost here he is gonna take
an long drag to admire what he's done and and
plan the next space. And so I had to sit
and filibuster and make jokes about it, you know. I
was like, well, you know, this is what you used
to do, and television didn't film when you're trying to contemplate,
(03:14):
you know, some long plan, whether you were the good
guy or the bad guy. Like I'm not saying, you
know this, this guy was a wreck. I'm trying to,
you know, because we do a little bit of the
biography and it always ended up going all right, so
what happened to it? It It was like, well, well, kids, um,
not not so good. Like let's just say he's not
with us anymore or she's not with us anymore, and like,
(03:36):
but how did they die? It's like we're not we're
not we're not doing that. We're not going into that.
Just let's appreciate the work they left us and move on. Now.
It's like the first time when you when your son
and daughter says, do your dad, what happened to Gaston? Uh?
Gaston fell? Yeah? But what happened now? He fell? No?
(03:57):
Come on, that didn't that? Boy? What a horrible line?
Do you in the beast? That would be because he
fell into the fog and you know gas on spoiler
but but it but sorry that happens No, I mean that, yeah,
that would happened to Gaston now? Yeah, or when when
we first watched gas Gone, he fell, you know, like
(04:20):
the first time we watched was an attack of the Clones.
And when uh sorry spoiler alert, Mace Windu kills Django Fette, right,
and you know, cutsu of off with a lightsaber, and
you know, because it's Star Wars, here's no blood, there's
no anything. And you just see his helmet, you know,
fall hit the ground. Yeah, his heads inside it. And
(04:42):
and when my daughter said, oh, what happened to what
happened to Django Fette? And I said, uh, because we
watched Stars when she was young and she loved runs
that loves Loves And I said, oh, well, you know,
Mace Windu one and knocked Boba Fett's helmet off and
not knocked Jango Fett's helmet off. Oh okay, I'm like,
what I skated by with that one, didn't I? All? Right? Then? Yeah,
(05:02):
let you want to see where he knocks his helmet off. Yeah,
we'll watch that scene again. It's okay, we'll watch that one. Yeah.
You ever sit down and actually tell her the truth
on that one? Now, well, eventually she was she knew
you know, oh, yeah, that happens. I go by Star Wars.
You don't see anything, you don't see anything. She's there
right now, my daughters. My daughter is like gonna be
Ciskel and Ebert Man, I mean all the movies in
the Pandemic, the the movie, the movie education that she
(05:25):
got in the Pandemic was just legendary. I mean she could,
she could, She could be better than Ciskel and Ebert
and Roper and and and and movie minute guys. And
she could be and she could be like the greatest
movie reviewer already. Yeah, what are you thirteen? Yes, the
cinematography in uh, Superman really doesn't compare to the early
wonder Woman. You know, all the movies we got to
(05:46):
see early wonder Woman, those two wonder Women, wonder Woman Women,
wonder Woman, wonder Woman, Wonder Women. Sorry, I was reading
a thing about the n FT world of the World
of Women. Wow, very high floor of ten plus ethereum
on that. I mean, that's that's a pretty healthy price
tag anyway. But yeah, Wonder Woman to uh extra viewings, No,
(06:11):
no watching a third time while you're slightly enubriated. There's
no way I'm watching that movie again. Wonder Woman too was.
I still remember this day when you said to me,
what do you think, And I said, I don't think
I'm gonna watch it again, and you laugh for like
five minutes. I remember, well, no, and here's you know.
It's it's terrible, it's trash. But what's funny about it
(06:32):
is generally you are a and I think I could
say this with all the years I've known you, you
will watch the same movies and television shows repeatedly. Oh sure, sure,
almost obsessively would be the the way I mean, because
look look what you did to your poor child with
all the Harry Potter films. Oh no, you kid, We've
been We've been a Harry Potter family for years now.
(06:53):
That's what mean though, And look what you did that
were a supernatural family. We are binging supernatur till I'm like,
this is fifteen seasons and we're in the middle of
season seven. I'm going, this isn't it just keeps going? Yeah, yeah,
we get years. I don't know. Yeah, we started going
back into the good place again. But we sat. We
(07:14):
watched Red Panda over the last two days. Oh, how
is Red Panda not okay? Mike Harmon reviews Red Panda
in two words, I'm not gonna get There's there's a
lot being written on it. There's a lot of videos
where I've just shaking my head of people really trying
to get deep on it. It's like, really, it's a
(07:36):
Bixar movie. People, we pay you one at eight hundred
words on this. Yeah, you just need to not good. No, no,
I I can get you the eight hundred words. And
the music is fine. It's it's Billie Eilish and Phineas
did the music. And then um, there's a boy band
that figures prominently, including the greatness that is Jordan Fisher.
(07:59):
Is it so we had fun with that, But beyond that,
is it bts? Beyond that, it's um, it's not good?
Coming up next, Mike Harmon, we use red Panda. Not good.
That's it. Good night and everybody, that's our shape. Hey on,
TikTok that when it killed because second intro and there's
(08:20):
your two seconds. I will see you next time, Mike
at the movies in a minute, that would have killed
on vine. It would have been so see that's what
I mean. You mock me. I saved you time. You
did you did not good? Okay? Great? Uh so today
speaking of not good, Matt Ryan, Matt Row, dare you dude?
This just trade You can't compare the two of those trades.
(08:43):
Go watch that trek and then tell me that you're compared.
You gotta be much higher on Matt Ryan. Jack, he
is just a guy. Look today, Matt Ryan gets traded
to the Colts for a third round pick, and this
is just Matt This is the Colts saying, hey, we're
just gonna bait and switch and go from Philip Rivers,
which didn't work to Carson Wenschwitz, didn't work to Matt Ryan,
(09:06):
who's a jag. If this was Matt Ryan of six
seven years ago, you got something because Matt Ryan was
a really good quarterback. But look at every single measurable
he has. Every measurable is down on a four year trend. Now,
you don't suddenly just get better. He's a game manager
and what he can do is throw short. That's what
(09:27):
he does. Matt Ryan, Nahem Hines and Jonathan Taylor out
of the back. Let's go. You are not gonna win
the games you need to win with Matt Ryan a quarterback. Right,
all you did was become the same team you were
last year. I could still win that division maybe and
maybe you squeak into the maybe maybe you do. This
is if Matt Ryan is okay. But Matt Ryan has
(09:49):
not been good. Mikey again, He's just a guy. Every
completion percentages down, His completions are down, his touchdowns are down,
his interceptions are still the same as quarterback ratings out,
his team's wins and loss. Everything is down. He's down down.
The completed his passes last year before that was throwing
to this. Last year he nearly got to four thousand yards,
(10:12):
and he was throwing to the equivalent of me. When
you complete, when you can throw the ball four yards Roethlisberger,
you're gonna complete some passes, but he's not. The Colts
needed to be bold, they needed dynamic, and they didn't
get it. I would have called the Cardinals for Kyler
Murray if I was, then, hey, you really hate him.
Let's They might have called him and they got laughed at.
Do you want that going into public? Sudden Steve even
(10:36):
he can't make that deal. You know you can throw
the football down the field, Jamis Winston, let's go get
Jamis went something bolder. And this is what the Colts
promised us, right they said, we're gonna go out, We're
gonna do something big. Matt Ryan Matt Ryan is just
a guy. Okay, he is just a guy. And to
think that he's gonna suddenly come in and you're gonna
be better, No, you'll be about the same. And for
(10:59):
a team that is gonna be about the same, that's
not good enough. You needed a guy to come in
that was gonna make the weapons you have better. Because
what the Colts have is that the best running back
in the NFL. They're a great offensive line, they have
a really good defense. They don't have the weapons at
wide receiver where Matt Ryan's gonna come in and make
everybody better. It's not who he is. That's why you
(11:20):
need a quarterback to come in. That's gonna be one
of those guys you needed to go boulder and you didn't.
And this is just a well we're gonna throw a
band aid move on here because we really don't have anybody.
We have nobody. We got Burt Jones is our next
guy up? How dare you for us? We got Mike
paygo up as the next guy to play quarterback for us.
That's it. They had nothing else, so let's go make
(11:43):
this And in the end, that's why it's mad. Is
it the worst move in the world. No, it's not
the worst. It's not like they went out and got
Baker Mayfield. This is not the worst move. But this
is just, Oh, you're kind of just spinning your wheels
with a really talented roster because if they have they
had great wide receivers and you're coming in your weapons
or hey, we got one of the top ten wide
receivers in the game. All right, then I kind of
(12:03):
get it. But Michael Pittman Jr. Is your best receiver
and he's he's okay, you don't have a lot. That's
why you need a bigger quarterback to come in, and
Matt Ryan is just gonna be a guy that kind
of does what Carson Wentz did last year, and that
wasn't good enough. You're not dynamic enough to get by
all these big quarterbacks in the NFL. But all kinds
of points on the board if it was Matt Ryan
(12:24):
the age of thirty, great move. Matt Ryan now on
a four year downward trend everywhere. No, it's just kind
of matt He's a jag. I'll take him for a
third round pick. I gotta think that ballard Ersay and
the Brass did their their deep dives. And look, when
we get down to it with the Browns and Deshaun Watson,
(12:45):
there's a there's a hundred other angles that sput off
of our discussion Friday that could take us all the
way through the to the preseason. Regarding Watson, is that
maybe the Colts weren't willing to bend over as much
as the Browns were, right, And and that's the thing, Right,
you take a swing, but you know sometimes you have
to check that swing because you're thinking better of of
(13:07):
the pitch selection that's coming through or what's on the
other end of it. Right, So that that's what we're
looking at in that And I wouldn't doubt that they
placed calls for some of these other quarterbacks because yeah,
you're right in the a f C. You know, you
need one of those guys to try to break through
or at least have a guy that has the guts
to put the ball up. That's gonna be the thing
(13:28):
with matt Ryan, So he's gonna be able to to
do what and and not turtle like Carson Wentzteon. I mean,
his name is Mattie Ice and he is on those
cold call things. He had to learn something from Stone Cold,
Steve Austin and Iced Tea hanging out on that set
about you know, going and making your breaks. So, yeah,
you've got Pittman, You've got Moali Cox the tight end.
We talked about the running backs. Good offensive line that's
(13:51):
getting tweaked. Maybe the honey Badger comes over the top.
But you did a great job picking up Quitty Pay
in the draft this past year. He and bucked. You
just traded for Yannicking gok Way. He was very well
traveled at this point, but the guy can play. And
then in at second level you got Darius Leonard, who's
one of the best guys to clean it up sideline
(14:12):
to sideline. Yeah, you're in position, you know, to to
go and make some plays. And I like Paris Campbell
if he can stay healthy, he's intriguing. So and then
t Y Hilton still there. Uh. He shows up every
third or fourth day. Uh in terms of a big effort.
But he's gonna be playing when the Mets get rid
of Bobby Benia day. T Y Hilton is still gonna
be in the NFL. He's gonna be fifty years old
(14:36):
still playing in the NFL. I'm just saying, I like
this and I think intend at least for the division,
if if not better. Right, So take down Tennessee and
move forward. I like it, Mattie Ice as a member
of your Indianapolis. Remember that, remember when Matt Ryan starts
out terrible after weeks you know you what happened? Well,
(14:56):
you know what that that has happened a bunch here
though the Colts have lost h trade openers. Would you
believe that that's absolutely amazing? Frank reich Uh in his
uh first five weeks, he's eight and twelve, and then
week six on once they actually get to know each
other sixteen for winning percentage, and there's one to go on.

two rounds of the tournament are over, be sure to

dot com for Fox Sports Radio's Million Dollar Bracket Challenge
powered by Indeed. We will re pick the final four
(16:02):
coming up later on in the show, probably about forty
five minutes from now. Well, you see after the Sweet
sixteen and just tell you, okay, now, now, what four
teams do we see playing for the natural championship? Because
you know, as Mike Carmen said a few minutes ago,
a lot of red ink on these brackets. There's no
question about it. Very painful, painful process. It is. It is.
But in the end, you know, the best part about
(16:24):
it is that even if you lose in the tournament,
how much have you really lost? Right? What was your
bracket at work? Five dollars ten? If you're gonna take money, bracket,
it's twenty bucks. Okay, it's twenty If you have money
to spend on a bracket, I think you're okay. It's
not like, oh man, my kid can't go to college.
I had was one of those twenty five thousand dollar
bracket pools. I really, I felt, really good. But look
(16:45):
at St. Peter's. They killed me. Oh my teens were
going and St. Peter's did it. Uh, that would be
the one thing I would say that, Yeah, maybe that
would have been better off something else, another decision made. Well,
that's just it, Joe, He's you gotta just go find
your ID, your wearri your discretionary income line is right.
One of the big stories out of the weekend was
everybody wringing their hands for the guy that bought the
(17:08):
last Brady ball at auction, right, the one Mike Evans
threw into the crowd. Paid five eighteen thousand dollars. Now
it's like, well, should he have to pay? It's like,
damn right, he should have to pay. As of right now,
it is the last touchdown ball. There's nothing wrong there,
and a lot can happen between now in September, and
you know what, I'm guessing the guy had five hundred
eighteen thousand dollars to burn, and congratulations to the guy
(17:30):
that consigned it. But the same thing here, if you
have five or ten bucks, yeah, right now, that's a
couple of gallons of gas. I get it. I know
it hurts and hurt in Los Angeles it's like a
half gallon of the gas. It's getting their buddy, it's
getting there. The gas station nearest to me, uh tipped
over the six dollar mark the other the other day.
So man, I'll tell you why the lines that that's
(17:51):
why the lines that Costco were like, you know, all
the way down around the block. Oh, I can get
it for four. Oh yeah, I'll be getting there. I
gotta get in the Costco. Yeah. But here's the question, ja, Yeah,
what's your time worth? Are you enjoying the time sitting
in line at Costco? Does it make you feel good
if at the end you save five or six bucks? Right?
Because when you average out like you're you know, a
(18:13):
basic car has what ten eleven gallons that you're going
and getting, So say you you save save fifty to
sixty cents per gallon. Isn't your time worth more than
what you're doing sitting there like an acid Costco? But
I just you and you have to drive to Costco.
Maybe you don't have a Costco right down the street
from you. Well, seeing as things I like going to Costco,
(18:36):
I I see Costco has replaced Target as my place
to go when I want to shop, and like get
out for a little while because like targets closed, I
just like I do, like you know, t shirts I buy,
but I go to Costco. Well, I I get pretty
good stuff at Costco. I like, I actually like going
to Costco. Right, But you're not buying gas in the
Costco was my point. If it's part of an all
around shopping excursion, yeah, I have at it. But I
(18:58):
know folks are like, yeah, gonna go drive to Costco
because I need gas. Like, well, you're driving fifteen miles
to get there and then you're gonna sit in line. Hey,
and I'm missing your time worth something. I'm not lying
to you. I shop at the busiest Costco in the
United States, the one I shop and documented it is
the busiest costco in the United States. I mean, I'm
(19:20):
not that's not hyperbole. That's what it is. It's the
busiest Costco. So this is why it works because my
wife is not nearly the shopper and browser that I
am because I I online brows all the time. Man,
it's great. So what she does is say is I
don't really want to go in and walk in and
go art, so drop me off at the front. I'll
go in you go in and get gas, and when
you're done, then you let me know. And she's like
(19:42):
great because she gets on her phone and plays games
while she's waiting in line. I go in, I get
to walk around and browse the books and the clothes.
Do I need a new T shirt? Here? Need a
pair of pants? Whatever it is? Oh, yes, you have
the samples out. I will try some of that again.
Oh you know what I need? I need that the
big three gallon thing of of mouth. Watch. Yes, let
me get that. And then I go through and I
(20:02):
do I need sunglasses? Do I wanted? And then everything works.
That's why it works out right, my anniversary the other
that's why it works out Hey, just drop me off
inside and then you will get gas and it was
really part of your anniversary. Oh no, no, that's just
that's just like Tuesday. Man, that's like us. That's like
I was gonna say, because if that was a big
event for the anniversary. No, no, no, our anniversary went
(20:24):
to the food court, went to the food court and
had lunch. That's what we did. We went to go
to Shephard places the meat in the middle. Uh no, no, no,
we both went to Sabarrow we went to Sabarrow. Okay,
that was that? What Hey, that's a ball or life, man,
that's what it is, you know, that's what her all
ball all life. What did you do? Went to the
food court? What do the food huh? Really? Yeah? What
(20:46):
did the food court? Man? It's great, you know, and
I can't tell you how awesome it is now that
I'm at the point now and obviously look here in
Los Angele with the reopening everything COVID and you know,
hopefully keeping your fingers cross this new O Macron variant
and everything. But like now at the point where I'm
just bringing my mask with me, and I'm judging by
what the inside of the store is like to see
(21:08):
if I, you know, need to put a mask on.
Like if if I go in there and the people
that are working or wearing masks, I'm like, okay, then
I'm gonna put a mask on, because obviously they want
to wear masks still, so I'm okay. But if I
go in there people are I'm like, okay, then i
won't wear it and and I'll leave it off. And
I'm like okay, but I always that now instead of
wearing it everywhere, but now bring it with me, and
I'll judge and go, Okay, how is everybody in here? Okay, well,
(21:29):
if there, if the people in the store are wearing
like the people that work there is what I mean,
not not the not the people shopping. If the people
that are working there are wearing them, okay, I will.
But if not, I'm like, Okay, that that's kind of
what that's kind of how I do it. Not it's
kind of fun. I think by the summer, hopefully knock
what we keep going, well, the the mask will all
be and you they'll just see people want to wear
them because they want to keep wearing them and all
(21:50):
the different um even like the unofficial mask mandates. Like
I'm saying, like if I go into a store and
everybody's wearing the look in the food industry, you're still
wearing masks, and in certain places still have to. But
I think by the time, you know, another couple of months,
it's gonna be hey, you know you're gonna think about
it anymore. Knock Wood, I mean I hope so knock Wood,
but exactly knock would bang on the table, banging, gong
(22:13):
whatever you need to do. That that is certainly though,
But be safe out there. People take care of each other. Uh.
And remember, uh, just because you haven't driven a lot
in the last couple of years doesn't mean you get
to get back out there. And the rules of the
road have been abolished upon a time. Remember maybe kind
of adhered to are still on the books. People are
(22:35):
people are driving like it's mad. Max Fury, right, it
really is some next level stuff, man. But I'll tell
you what I there are times where I'm convinced someone
didn't like a take from the night before. I have
enough close calls me and the dog out there. He's
on like his eighty seven life at this point, guy's
playing a flaming guitar on top of the truck that's
(22:56):
bearing down on you. Oh it's something, man, Let me
tell you. Let me give you a quote. And this
is ty Shirt is gonna fall over himself to try
to find something to play. Here's a quote from an
NFL hopeful today. The stretches work. It's the reason why
I've been doing then if it helped getting an eighth
of an inch, I'll take it. Direct quote from an
(23:18):
NFL hopeful today. Everybody knows that this is the stretches work.
It's the reason why I've been doing them. If it
helped getting an eighth of an inch, I'll take it.
You gotta get to at least eight nine inches then
it's gonna be good. No. Wow, Ty Shirt found that
one pretty fast. Um, he's a talented man. What can
I say? That is of course John Samons? Why is
(23:41):
it John Stamos? Now he's not going He was on
that dancing thing with Julianne Huff Las Vegas yesterday. Okay,
but that's not getting you to the NFL though nowadays.
You know what I like the way that guy danced. Hey,
let's make that guy our quarterback. What yeah, them take
a movie at Disney'll make a movie out of it soon.
(24:02):
Sean Payton will will play me because you know he
feels bad that Kevin James had to play him. No,
it'll be great, it'll work out. Uh. That is pit
quarterback Kenny pick It potential first round pick who of
course at the combine, one of the biggest stories was
he had the smallest, tiny, little baby hands. How's he
(24:23):
gonna hold that big football and throw it down the field.
It's a tiny little baby ins But now his hand
checked in an eighth of an inch bigger. He is
now at eight and five eights inches, up from eight
and a half inches. That sounds like some home cooking
for his pro day. Well maybe you know, you know
(24:45):
how you have like they call the friendly stop watch
for the you know, for the forty yard dash. Maybe
this was the friendly ruler. You know that rule of
giving an X. I mean, really it's an eighth of
an inch, right, You're getting an extra eighth of an inch.
But now his hand size has gone up to eight
five eighth inches, which still is the smallest hand in
National Football League. Taysoon Hill has the second smallest backup
(25:06):
quarterback for the Saints. Kenny Pickett would still be coming
in with the smallest hand. You know the stigma that
goes along with it. So you know he's been doing
work stretching out the distance between his thumb and his
pinky finger, because stretched out at its full extension is
how you measure, uh, somebody's hand. And you know, I
(25:26):
got these big panda hands, and I can stretch all
the way out as far and I can get to
at least eight and a half inches. Tighter's gonna save
that one forever. Like I can stretch out and and
so you know, we like, I don't know if he's
put like a baseball between his pinky finger and his
and and his and his uh ring finger and like
a baseball between his index finger and his and his
(25:49):
thumb just to to walk around and try to stretch
it out a little bit. But he's got to be
doing something like that for suddenly to say, hey, now
I can stretch my hand out a little bit. You guys,
it's okay to draft me. Don't worry about my real
tiny baby hands anymore. Now I got an extra eighth
of an inch. Oh well, now it's eight and five intes.
Now we'll take the guy first overall. We're gonna take
him completely off our draft board. Now we'll take him
(26:10):
first overall. Do you think he did any stretching exercise
as akin to the rehabilitation efforts of doctor Strange. I'll
take your answer off. Hang up and listen. Uh look, man,
what whatever if that's the measurable that's gonna get you over.
I saw some pretty good jokes of how he was attired,
(26:31):
you know, saying he looked like he was straight out
of yellow Stone season four, which I thought was pretty
good too. But yeah, it's I don't know. Some of
it's just nonsense. You know. I do the Sunday show, Uh,
Fox Sports Sunday with Bucky Brooks, right, NFL Scout, NFL
dot Com, Uh, the NFL Network, hanging out on FS one.
(26:53):
I mean, he's everywhere but and coaching high school. And
we were getting into it a bit about the stop Way,
which is and I told them how jaded I was
after those bogus pronouncements of the unofficial Times that got
to go viral and then three hours later, oh no, no,
we're gonna call those back. Like nobody ever loves the
retraction or or acknowledges the retraction, like, no, you got
(27:16):
all your juice except for us, because we had to
call it out because it was nonsense. And he goes
they like the hand Times, Like why if you can
put down a laser that is that actually does this
start to finish with no human error involved? Why would
we not likewise here if we're really quibbling over the
(27:36):
eighth of an inch of a guy's hand. Right, you
mentioned Taysom Hill. You've been arguing about Taysom Hill all day. Uh,
so you got that going for you, But just the
the idea that that's gonna be the thing that decides
if you're a first or a second round pick, not
your acumen on the white board or reading the defenses.
They throw random plays up. How would you run this?
(27:58):
What would you do differently from your own career in
these different situations? Nah? Did he did his hand stretch enough? Yet?
Get back to that doctor Strange. Go see Benjamin Bratt.
He'll tune you into what you need to be doing.
You know it's it's I I equate the the measuring
of someone's hand for instance of combine. It's a way
(28:20):
to get somebody to either say no or to feel
good about the guy you want to draft. Because if
you like Kenny Pickett and you heard that he had
a his hands were big, that's something that all right, great,
now I love the guy even more, right I want
if I'm looking for a way to say yes, If
you didn't like Kenny Pickett and you saw that his
hand as small, it's well, I can't draft him. Now.
(28:42):
It's another reason to not draft him. I was unsure
about Kenny Pickett. But his hand is tiny. Maybe he
doesn't throw the football, maybe he can't do it in
the elements it's a way for for for me to
say no. It's the same thing about when you want
to buy a car. You want to feel good about
buying a car. So today's news that an extra eighth
of a inches on Kenny Pickett's hand. This is like
(29:02):
you going in meeting with the dealer and they tell
you what they can do for you, and you go
home and you go, I don't know, I gotta talk
it over with my wife. And after a couple of
days a guy called you back and says, you know,
I can get you an extra five hundred dollars off
sticker price, Like in the primate price of a car.
You're talking about something that's twenty five thou dollars, but
I'll get you an extra five hundred dollars off. And
you go, oh, okay, maybe, oh answer five hundred dollars off.
(29:24):
And then you convinced what we were We were we
were kind of injured before, we weren't sure. Oh but
extra five hundred yet now we're in. Now we're in
on it because that's the difference. And extra eight it's
only the guy got an extra inch and a half.
The guy got an extra eighth of an inch. Okay,
So it's it's like the same thing is getting five
hunt dollars off a car. If you don't want to
be excited about it, you can be. If you don't
want to be excited about it, you're not. But the
(29:46):
eighth of an inchin is literally all right. You may
be mismeasured. Yeah, there's stuff in there. It's a rounding here.
Oh I'm sorry. I actually measured in centimeters rather than
I had the other side of the ruler up. That's
my fault. Let's let's measure again. Oh yes, sir, your
hand is six inches long. Sorry about that. Oh, good
(30:06):

Happy Monday, Happy Monday, celebrating Kenny Pickett's extra eighth of
an inch wait for wait for it, wait for it.
(31:13):
It's gonna be good on his hand, on his hand. Now,
the guy's gonna go number one overall. Got that? Actually? Uh,
quarterbacks have been the order of the day today. Matt
Ryan is now a cult. Marcus Mariotta is now taking
over for him as the Falcons tank. As the Falcons
try to move on from Matt Ryan, rebuild, reboot, reload,
(31:35):
and then with Matt Ryan, it's it's like, you know,
Matt Stafford and Alliance, you know where we're done here, right.
I gave you four days to to get something done.
I deferred my seven point five million dollars several days
to help you out. But if the quarterback match making
that's left really only involves Baker Mayfield, and Jimmy Garas below, right,
(32:00):
that's really the last two guys that are gonna need
to change teams at some point. And Garoppolo is gonna
be a little bit a little a while because of
his shoulder injury, which really just I think screwed up
the entire off season because had he been healthy, he
would have been the guy traded first and everything would
have gone from there. But because suddenly, oh I got
(32:21):
shoulder surgery, that screwed everything up. Right. Now, everything we
saw since then has been a byproduct of that. Then
suddenly teams decided to wait for Aaron Rodgers then jump
in for Russell Wilson. But if he and Mayfield are
the last two guys, we told you that that Seattle
might be the best destination for Baker Mayfield. His personality
might mesh with Pete Carroll, who preaches competition, and Baker's
(32:42):
got a chip on his shoulder. The fit for Garoppolo
is still the team that I said was gonna wind
up getting him at the end of the season. It's
still Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has said many times we're going to
camp with four quarterbacks, right, getting Mitchell Drabinsky or now
back to Mitch bringing him in. Not bad, right, He's
done nothing with Buffalo the last two years, so people
(33:04):
think he's good. Oh yes, it's done anything to show
us he sucked. He might be good now. This is
kind of how it works in the NFL. Do nothing
for a couple of years, people think you're still good,
but they need to add somebody else, and Garoppolo will
still wind up being the guy because the Steelers are
going to make some kind of of bold ish move
at quarterback, whether it's we're gonna wait till the draft
(33:25):
and get somebody in the draft, or make a move
right after the draft of somebody else drafts a quarterback
they like, somebody else might be free. The Steelers will
do something, and I still look at them as the
right destination because garoppolos a pro. He can rest and rehab,
Trubisky can get all the reps in camp and all right,
and when Garoppolo is ready, you have the battle and
(33:46):
he can take over. And that's kind of how the
Steelers are gonna wind up playing it. And so for
the place for Garoppolo to go where they can wait
and hope that he's healthy when the season starts. Look
the Steelers have said, all right, we're coming to camp
with these guys, and we got Rabinsky and if we
have to go to him, he's okay. But really, Garoppolo,
I think it's still their guy. That's still he's gonna
(34:08):
wind up ending up. No. I appreciate you trying to
add an extra year from Mitchell in Buffalo. He's only
there a year. Oh there here, so, but you haven't
there for three years, year and a half, two years,
three ye, I mean, I know we we kind of
get into a when did that really happen? Because of
the pandemic and trying to put things on timelines. That's tough.
(34:28):
I think Garoppolo stays right where he is, Like, because
you got Trey Lance and you're trying to figure out
what he is. Right shoulder surgery allows Lance to get
first team reps. Doesn't mean you're not bringing in somebody else,
uh in the interim taking throws and and running through
drills and all. But I think the timeline works that
(34:49):
Garoppolo is ready to go. Dollar cost averaging, you're in
for the norm of what the quarterback position cross costs
across the league, and in terms of free agents are
still available. Who's going to be better than him? Nobody
you know. But they're still there, but still the one.
They're still the one to run to Twitter and out

(01:06):
I am Duke or bust my Carman, which I guess
I was in the beginning of the tournament. I am
if Duke wins, yeah, Duke is out. There's no more
tournament tournaments. There's a lot of red ink after four days,
no question about it. I still have three of my
final four alive, including my title game and champions so
but a lot of red ink. Otherwise. They're the whole
(01:27):
right side of the bracket for me was you might
as well have had, uh, you know, Bick, your favorite
painter just come in and do one of those giant
blotches over the top of my bracket. That's how poor,
how poorly I picked that side of things. It's like
a Pollock painting. I'm just gonna send me here, paint
all over and then just draw it all, use my
hands and do all stuff. I did what I was doing,
(01:50):
hands on our right. I was a docent oftentimes for
Maddie's and Eleanor's classes as they were growing up, and
then they finally hit a point saying you've done enough,
let some of these other lazy people take over, which
got it funny because then when they beg for doze
and still see the emails or flyers, but like, please don't.
It was funny. Everybody loved me, but we did Pollock
at one point, and they they're like, here, here's the
(02:12):
video clip to use. And it was this cool jazz
behind it, right, so like you know, a little scatting
and the whole thing. But he's in a driveway and
he's got tarp out and he's painting, and he's smoking
like a damn chimney the entire time. Like he finishes one,
he couldn't like the next fast enough, and the whole
(02:33):
time said there going, this is the video you decided
we needed to bring into the school because a couple
of points it gets it closes. Uh, you get the
close up shot and there he's taking a nice long drag.
It's like in the background, like a guy with the
stand up base clearly here. And then he starts painting
again and it starts to speed up and he's bouncing
(02:54):
all over the start, but it's just I just remember
him the slow motion almost here he is gonna take
an long drag to admire what he's done and and
plan the next space. And so I had to sit
and filibuster and make jokes about it, you know. I
was like, well, you know, this is what you used
to do, and television didn't film when you're trying to contemplate,
(03:14):
you know, some long plan, whether you were the good
guy or the bad guy. Like I'm not saying, you
know this, this guy was a wreck. I'm trying to,
you know, because we do a little bit of the
biography and it always ended up going all right, so
what happened to it? It It was like, well, well, kids, um,
not not so good. Like let's just say he's not
with us anymore or she's not with us anymore, and like,
(03:36):
but how did they die? It's like we're not we're
not we're not doing that. We're not going into that.
Just let's appreciate the work they left us and move on. Now.
It's like the first time when you when your son
and daughter says, do your dad, what happened to Gaston? Uh?
Gaston fell? Yeah? But what happened now? He fell? No?
(03:57):
Come on, that didn't that? Boy? What a horrible line?
Do you in the beast? That would be because he
fell into the fog and you know gas on spoiler
but but it but sorry that happens No, I mean that, yeah,
that would happened to Gaston now? Yeah, or when when
we first watched gas Gone, he fell, you know, like
(04:20):
the first time we watched was an attack of the Clones.
And when uh sorry spoiler alert, Mace Windu kills Django Fette, right,
and you know, cutsu of off with a lightsaber, and
you know, because it's Star Wars, here's no blood, there's
no anything. And you just see his helmet, you know,
fall hit the ground. Yeah, his heads inside it. And
(04:42):
and when my daughter said, oh, what happened to what
happened to Django Fette? And I said, uh, because we
watched Stars when she was young and she loved runs
that loves Loves And I said, oh, well, you know,
Mace Windu one and knocked Boba Fett's helmet off and
not knocked Jango Fett's helmet off. Oh okay, I'm like,
what I skated by with that one, didn't I? All? Right? Then? Yeah,
(05:02):
let you want to see where he knocks his helmet off. Yeah,
we'll watch that scene again. It's okay, we'll watch that one. Yeah.
You ever sit down and actually tell her the truth
on that one? Now, well, eventually she was she knew
you know, oh, yeah, that happens. I go by Star Wars.
You don't see anything, you don't see anything. She's there
right now, my daughters. My daughter is like gonna be
Ciskel and Ebert Man, I mean all the movies in
the Pandemic, the the movie, the movie education that she
(05:25):
got in the Pandemic was just legendary. I mean she could,
she could, She could be better than Ciskel and Ebert
and Roper and and and and movie minute guys. And
she could be and she could be like the greatest
movie reviewer already. Yeah, what are you thirteen? Yes, the
cinematography in uh, Superman really doesn't compare to the early
wonder Woman. You know, all the movies we got to
(05:46):
see early wonder Woman, those two wonder Women, wonder Woman Women,
wonder Woman, wonder Woman, Wonder Women. Sorry, I was reading
a thing about the n FT world of the World
of Women. Wow, very high floor of ten plus ethereum
on that. I mean, that's that's a pretty healthy price
tag anyway. But yeah, Wonder Woman to uh extra viewings, No,
(06:11):
no watching a third time while you're slightly enubriated. There's
no way I'm watching that movie again. Wonder Woman too was.
I still remember this day when you said to me,
what do you think, And I said, I don't think
I'm gonna watch it again, and you laugh for like
five minutes. I remember, well, no, and here's you know.
It's it's terrible, it's trash. But what's funny about it
(06:32):
is generally you are a and I think I could
say this with all the years I've known you, you
will watch the same movies and television shows repeatedly. Oh sure, sure,
almost obsessively would be the the way I mean, because
look look what you did to your poor child with
all the Harry Potter films. Oh no, you kid, We've
been We've been a Harry Potter family for years now.
(06:53):
That's what mean though, And look what you did that
were a supernatural family. We are binging supernatur till I'm like,
this is fifteen seasons and we're in the middle of
season seven. I'm going, this isn't it just keeps going? Yeah, yeah,
we get years. I don't know. Yeah, we started going
back into the good place again. But we sat. We
(07:14):
watched Red Panda over the last two days. Oh, how
is Red Panda not okay? Mike Harmon reviews Red Panda
in two words, I'm not gonna get There's there's a
lot being written on it. There's a lot of videos
where I've just shaking my head of people really trying
to get deep on it. It's like, really, it's a
(07:36):
Bixar movie. People, we pay you one at eight hundred
words on this. Yeah, you just need to not good. No, no,
I I can get you the eight hundred words. And
the music is fine. It's it's Billie Eilish and Phineas
did the music. And then um, there's a boy band
that figures prominently, including the greatness that is Jordan Fisher.
(07:59):
Is it so we had fun with that, But beyond that,
is it bts? Beyond that, it's um, it's not good?
Coming up next, Mike Harmon, we use red Panda. Not good.
That's it. Good night and everybody, that's our shape. Hey on,
TikTok that when it killed because second intro and there's
(08:20):
your two seconds. I will see you next time, Mike
at the movies in a minute, that would have killed
on vine. It would have been so see that's what
I mean. You mock me. I saved you time. You
did you did not good? Okay? Great? Uh so today
speaking of not good, Matt Ryan, Matt Row, dare you dude?
This just trade You can't compare the two of those trades.
(08:43):
Go watch that trek and then tell me that you're compared.
You gotta be much higher on Matt Ryan. Jack, he
is just a guy. Look today, Matt Ryan gets traded
to the Colts for a third round pick, and this
is just Matt This is the Colts saying, hey, we're
just gonna bait and switch and go from Philip Rivers,
which didn't work to Carson Wenschwitz, didn't work to Matt Ryan,
(09:06):
who's a jag. If this was Matt Ryan of six
seven years ago, you got something because Matt Ryan was
a really good quarterback. But look at every single measurable
he has. Every measurable is down on a four year trend. Now,
you don't suddenly just get better. He's a game manager
and what he can do is throw short. That's what
(09:27):
he does. Matt Ryan, Nahem Hines and Jonathan Taylor out
of the back. Let's go. You are not gonna win
the games you need to win with Matt Ryan a quarterback. Right,
all you did was become the same team you were
last year. I could still win that division maybe and
maybe you squeak into the maybe maybe you do. This
is if Matt Ryan is okay. But Matt Ryan has
(09:49):
not been good. Mikey again, He's just a guy. Every
completion percentages down, His completions are down, his touchdowns are down,
his interceptions are still the same as quarterback ratings out,
his team's wins and loss. Everything is down. He's down down.
The completed his passes last year before that was throwing
to this. Last year he nearly got to four thousand yards,
(10:12):
and he was throwing to the equivalent of me. When
you complete, when you can throw the ball four yards Roethlisberger,
you're gonna complete some passes, but he's not. The Colts
needed to be bold, they needed dynamic, and they didn't
get it. I would have called the Cardinals for Kyler
Murray if I was, then, hey, you really hate him.
Let's They might have called him and they got laughed at.
Do you want that going into public? Sudden Steve even
(10:36):
he can't make that deal. You know you can throw
the football down the field, Jamis Winston, let's go get
Jamis went something bolder. And this is what the Colts
promised us, right they said, we're gonna go out, We're
gonna do something big. Matt Ryan Matt Ryan is just
a guy. Okay, he is just a guy. And to
think that he's gonna suddenly come in and you're gonna
be better, No, you'll be about the same. And for
(10:59):
a team that is gonna be about the same, that's
not good enough. You needed a guy to come in
that was gonna make the weapons you have better. Because
what the Colts have is that the best running back
in the NFL. They're a great offensive line, they have
a really good defense. They don't have the weapons at
wide receiver where Matt Ryan's gonna come in and make
everybody better. It's not who he is. That's why you
(11:20):
need a quarterback to come in. That's gonna be one
of those guys you needed to go boulder and you didn't.
And this is just a well we're gonna throw a
band aid move on here because we really don't have anybody.
We have nobody. We got Burt Jones is our next
guy up? How dare you for us? We got Mike
paygo up as the next guy to play quarterback for us.
That's it. They had nothing else, so let's go make
(11:43):
this And in the end, that's why it's mad. Is
it the worst move in the world. No, it's not
the worst. It's not like they went out and got
Baker Mayfield. This is not the worst move. But this
is just, Oh, you're kind of just spinning your wheels
with a really talented roster because if they have they
had great wide receivers and you're coming in your weapons
or hey, we got one of the top ten wide
receivers in the game. All right, then I kind of
(12:03):
get it. But Michael Pittman Jr. Is your best receiver
and he's he's okay, you don't have a lot. That's
why you need a bigger quarterback to come in, and
Matt Ryan is just gonna be a guy that kind
of does what Carson Wentz did last year, and that
wasn't good enough. You're not dynamic enough to get by
all these big quarterbacks in the NFL. But all kinds
of points on the board if it was Matt Ryan
(12:24):
the age of thirty, great move. Matt Ryan now on
a four year downward trend everywhere. No, it's just kind
of matt He's a jag. I'll take him for a
third round pick. I gotta think that ballard Ersay and
the Brass did their their deep dives. And look, when
we get down to it with the Browns and Deshaun Watson,
(12:45):
there's a there's a hundred other angles that sput off
of our discussion Friday that could take us all the
way through the to the preseason. Regarding Watson, is that
maybe the Colts weren't willing to bend over as much
as the Browns were, right, And and that's the thing, Right,
you take a swing, but you know sometimes you have
to check that swing because you're thinking better of of
(13:07):
the pitch selection that's coming through or what's on the
other end of it. Right, So that that's what we're
looking at in that And I wouldn't doubt that they
placed calls for some of these other quarterbacks because yeah,
you're right in the a f C. You know, you
need one of those guys to try to break through
or at least have a guy that has the guts
to put the ball up. That's gonna be the thing
(13:28):
with matt Ryan, So he's gonna be able to to
do what and and not turtle like Carson Wentzteon. I mean,
his name is Mattie Ice and he is on those
cold call things. He had to learn something from Stone Cold,
Steve Austin and Iced Tea hanging out on that set
about you know, going and making your breaks. So, yeah,
you've got Pittman, You've got Moali Cox the tight end.
We talked about the running backs. Good offensive line that's
(13:51):
getting tweaked. Maybe the honey Badger comes over the top.
But you did a great job picking up Quitty Pay
in the draft this past year. He and bucked. You
just traded for Yannicking gok Way. He was very well
traveled at this point, but the guy can play. And
then in at second level you got Darius Leonard, who's
one of the best guys to clean it up sideline
(14:12):
to sideline. Yeah, you're in position, you know, to to
go and make some plays. And I like Paris Campbell
if he can stay healthy, he's intriguing. So and then
t Y Hilton still there. Uh. He shows up every
third or fourth day. Uh in terms of a big effort.
But he's gonna be playing when the Mets get rid
of Bobby Benia day. T Y Hilton is still gonna
be in the NFL. He's gonna be fifty years old
(14:36):
still playing in the NFL. I'm just saying, I like
this and I think intend at least for the division,
if if not better. Right, So take down Tennessee and
move forward. I like it, Mattie Ice as a member
of your Indianapolis. Remember that, remember when Matt Ryan starts
out terrible after weeks you know you what happened? Well,
(14:56):
you know what that that has happened a bunch here
though the Colts have lost h trade openers. Would you
believe that that's absolutely amazing? Frank reich Uh in his
uh first five weeks, he's eight and twelve, and then
week six on once they actually get to know each
other sixteen for winning percentage, and there's one to go on.

Com slash credit and speaking of Indeed. Now the first
two rounds of the tournament are over, be sure to
check out the Bracket challenge standings at Fox sports radio
dot com for Fox Sports Radio's Million Dollar Bracket Challenge
powered by Indeed. We will re pick the final four
(16:02):
coming up later on in the show, probably about forty
five minutes from now. Well, you see after the Sweet
sixteen and just tell you, okay, now, now, what four
teams do we see playing for the natural championship? Because
you know, as Mike Carmen said a few minutes ago,
a lot of red ink on these brackets. There's no
question about it. Very painful, painful process. It is. It is.
But in the end, you know, the best part about
(16:24):
it is that even if you lose in the tournament,
how much have you really lost? Right? What was your
bracket at work? Five dollars ten? If you're gonna take money, bracket,
it's twenty bucks. Okay, it's twenty If you have money
to spend on a bracket, I think you're okay. It's
not like, oh man, my kid can't go to college.
I had was one of those twenty five thousand dollar
bracket pools. I really, I felt, really good. But look
(16:45):
at St. Peter's. They killed me. Oh my teens were
going and St. Peter's did it. Uh, that would be
the one thing I would say that, Yeah, maybe that
would have been better off something else, another decision made. Well,
that's just it, Joe, He's you gotta just go find
your ID, your wearri your discretionary income line is right.
One of the big stories out of the weekend was
everybody wringing their hands for the guy that bought the
(17:08):
last Brady ball at auction, right, the one Mike Evans
threw into the crowd. Paid five eighteen thousand dollars. Now
it's like, well, should he have to pay? It's like,
damn right, he should have to pay. As of right now,
it is the last touchdown ball. There's nothing wrong there,
and a lot can happen between now in September, and
you know what, I'm guessing the guy had five hundred
eighteen thousand dollars to burn, and congratulations to the guy
(17:30):
that consigned it. But the same thing here, if you
have five or ten bucks, yeah, right now, that's a
couple of gallons of gas. I get it. I know
it hurts and hurt in Los Angeles it's like a
half gallon of the gas. It's getting their buddy, it's
getting there. The gas station nearest to me, uh tipped
over the six dollar mark the other the other day.
So man, I'll tell you why the lines that that's
(17:51):
why the lines that Costco were like, you know, all
the way down around the block. Oh, I can get
it for four. Oh yeah, I'll be getting there. I
gotta get in the Costco. Yeah. But here's the question, ja, Yeah,
what's your time worth? Are you enjoying the time sitting
in line at Costco? Does it make you feel good
if at the end you save five or six bucks? Right?
Because when you average out like you're you know, a
(18:13):
basic car has what ten eleven gallons that you're going
and getting, So say you you save save fifty to
sixty cents per gallon. Isn't your time worth more than
what you're doing sitting there like an acid Costco? But
I just you and you have to drive to Costco.
Maybe you don't have a Costco right down the street
from you. Well, seeing as things I like going to Costco,
(18:36):
I I see Costco has replaced Target as my place
to go when I want to shop, and like get
out for a little while because like targets closed, I
just like I do, like you know, t shirts I buy,
but I go to Costco. Well, I I get pretty
good stuff at Costco. I like, I actually like going
to Costco. Right, But you're not buying gas in the
Costco was my point. If it's part of an all
around shopping excursion, yeah, I have at it. But I
(18:58):
know folks are like, yeah, gonna go drive to Costco
because I need gas. Like, well, you're driving fifteen miles
to get there and then you're gonna sit in line. Hey,
and I'm missing your time worth something. I'm not lying
to you. I shop at the busiest Costco in the
United States, the one I shop and documented it is
the busiest costco in the United States. I mean, I'm
(19:20):
not that's not hyperbole. That's what it is. It's the
busiest Costco. So this is why it works because my
wife is not nearly the shopper and browser that I
am because I I online brows all the time. Man,
it's great. So what she does is say is I
don't really want to go in and walk in and
go art, so drop me off at the front. I'll
go in you go in and get gas, and when
you're done, then you let me know. And she's like
(19:42):
great because she gets on her phone and plays games
while she's waiting in line. I go in, I get
to walk around and browse the books and the clothes.
Do I need a new T shirt? Here? Need a
pair of pants? Whatever it is? Oh, yes, you have
the samples out. I will try some of that again.
Oh you know what I need? I need that the
big three gallon thing of of mouth. Watch. Yes, let
me get that. And then I go through and I
(20:02):
do I need sunglasses? Do I wanted? And then everything works.
That's why it works out right, my anniversary the other
that's why it works out Hey, just drop me off
inside and then you will get gas and it was
really part of your anniversary. Oh no, no, that's just
that's just like Tuesday. Man, that's like us. That's like
I was gonna say, because if that was a big
event for the anniversary. No, no, no, our anniversary went
(20:24):
to the food court, went to the food court and
had lunch. That's what we did. We went to go
to Shephard places the meat in the middle. Uh no, no, no,
we both went to Sabarrow we went to Sabarrow. Okay,
that was that? What Hey, that's a ball or life, man,
that's what it is, you know, that's what her all
ball all life. What did you do? Went to the
food court? What do the food huh? Really? Yeah? What
(20:46):
did the food court? Man? It's great, you know, and
I can't tell you how awesome it is now that
I'm at the point now and obviously look here in
Los Angele with the reopening everything COVID and you know,
hopefully keeping your fingers cross this new O Macron variant
and everything. But like now at the point where I'm
just bringing my mask with me, and I'm judging by
what the inside of the store is like to see
(21:08):
if I, you know, need to put a mask on.
Like if if I go in there and the people
that are working or wearing masks, I'm like, okay, then
I'm gonna put a mask on, because obviously they want
to wear masks still, so I'm okay. But if I
go in there people are I'm like, okay, then i
won't wear it and and I'll leave it off. And
I'm like okay, but I always that now instead of
wearing it everywhere, but now bring it with me, and
I'll judge and go, Okay, how is everybody in here? Okay, well,
(21:29):
if there, if the people in the store are wearing
like the people that work there is what I mean,
not not the not the people shopping. If the people
that are working there are wearing them, okay, I will.
But if not, I'm like, Okay, that that's kind of
what that's kind of how I do it. Not it's
kind of fun. I think by the summer, hopefully knock
what we keep going, well, the the mask will all
be and you they'll just see people want to wear
them because they want to keep wearing them and all
(21:50):
the different um even like the unofficial mask mandates. Like
I'm saying, like if I go into a store and
everybody's wearing the look in the food industry, you're still
wearing masks, and in certain places still have to. But
I think by the time, you know, another couple of months,
it's gonna be hey, you know you're gonna think about
it anymore. Knock Wood, I mean I hope so knock Wood,
but exactly knock would bang on the table, banging, gong
(22:13):
whatever you need to do. That that is certainly though,
But be safe out there. People take care of each other. Uh.
And remember, uh, just because you haven't driven a lot
in the last couple of years doesn't mean you get
to get back out there. And the rules of the
road have been abolished upon a time. Remember maybe kind
of adhered to are still on the books. People are
(22:35):
people are driving like it's mad. Max Fury, right, it
really is some next level stuff, man. But I'll tell
you what I there are times where I'm convinced someone
didn't like a take from the night before. I have
enough close calls me and the dog out there. He's
on like his eighty seven life at this point, guy's
playing a flaming guitar on top of the truck that's
(22:56):
bearing down on you. Oh it's something, man, Let me
tell you. Let me give you a quote. And this
is ty Shirt is gonna fall over himself to try
to find something to play. Here's a quote from an
NFL hopeful today. The stretches work. It's the reason why
I've been doing then if it helped getting an eighth
of an inch, I'll take it. Direct quote from an
(23:18):
NFL hopeful today. Everybody knows that this is the stretches work.
It's the reason why I've been doing them. If it
helped getting an eighth of an inch, I'll take it.
You gotta get to at least eight nine inches then
it's gonna be good. No. Wow, Ty Shirt found that
one pretty fast. Um, he's a talented man. What can
I say? That is of course John Samons? Why is
(23:41):
it John Stamos? Now he's not going He was on
that dancing thing with Julianne Huff Las Vegas yesterday. Okay,
but that's not getting you to the NFL though nowadays.
You know what I like the way that guy danced. Hey,
let's make that guy our quarterback. What yeah, them take
a movie at Disney'll make a movie out of it soon.
(24:02):
Sean Payton will will play me because you know he
feels bad that Kevin James had to play him. No,
it'll be great, it'll work out. Uh. That is pit
quarterback Kenny pick It potential first round pick who of
course at the combine, one of the biggest stories was
he had the smallest, tiny, little baby hands. How's he
(24:23):
gonna hold that big football and throw it down the field.
It's a tiny little baby ins But now his hand
checked in an eighth of an inch bigger. He is
now at eight and five eights inches, up from eight
and a half inches. That sounds like some home cooking
for his pro day. Well maybe you know, you know
(24:45):
how you have like they call the friendly stop watch
for the you know, for the forty yard dash. Maybe
this was the friendly ruler. You know that rule of
giving an X. I mean, really it's an eighth of
an inch, right, You're getting an extra eighth of an inch.
But now his hand size has gone up to eight
five eighth inches, which still is the smallest hand in
National Football League. Taysoon Hill has the second smallest backup
(25:06):
quarterback for the Saints. Kenny Pickett would still be coming
in with the smallest hand. You know the stigma that
goes along with it. So you know he's been doing
work stretching out the distance between his thumb and his
pinky finger, because stretched out at its full extension is
how you measure, uh, somebody's hand. And you know, I
(25:26):
got these big panda hands, and I can stretch all
the way out as far and I can get to
at least eight and a half inches. Tighter's gonna save
that one forever. Like I can stretch out and and
so you know, we like, I don't know if he's
put like a baseball between his pinky finger and his
and and his and his uh ring finger and like
a baseball between his index finger and his and his
(25:49):
thumb just to to walk around and try to stretch
it out a little bit. But he's got to be
doing something like that for suddenly to say, hey, now
I can stretch my hand out a little bit. You guys,
it's okay to draft me. Don't worry about my real
tiny baby hands anymore. Now I got an extra eighth
of an inch. Oh well, now it's eight and five intes.
Now we'll take the guy first overall. We're gonna take
him completely off our draft board. Now we'll take him
(26:10):
first overall. Do you think he did any stretching exercise
as akin to the rehabilitation efforts of doctor Strange. I'll
take your answer off. Hang up and listen. Uh look, man,
what whatever if that's the measurable that's gonna get you over.
I saw some pretty good jokes of how he was attired,
(26:31):
you know, saying he looked like he was straight out
of yellow Stone season four, which I thought was pretty
good too. But yeah, it's I don't know. Some of
it's just nonsense. You know. I do the Sunday show, Uh,
Fox Sports Sunday with Bucky Brooks, right, NFL Scout, NFL
dot Com, Uh, the NFL Network, hanging out on FS one.
(26:53):
I mean, he's everywhere but and coaching high school. And
we were getting into it a bit about the stop Way,
which is and I told them how jaded I was
after those bogus pronouncements of the unofficial Times that got
to go viral and then three hours later, oh no, no,
we're gonna call those back. Like nobody ever loves the
retraction or or acknowledges the retraction, like, no, you got
(27:16):
all your juice except for us, because we had to
call it out because it was nonsense. And he goes
they like the hand Times, Like why if you can
put down a laser that is that actually does this
start to finish with no human error involved? Why would
we not likewise here if we're really quibbling over the
(27:36):
eighth of an inch of a guy's hand. Right, you
mentioned Taysom Hill. You've been arguing about Taysom Hill all day. Uh,
so you got that going for you, But just the
the idea that that's gonna be the thing that decides
if you're a first or a second round pick, not
your acumen on the white board or reading the defenses.
They throw random plays up. How would you run this?
(27:58):
What would you do differently from your own career in
these different situations? Nah? Did he did his hand stretch enough? Yet?
Get back to that doctor Strange. Go see Benjamin Bratt.
He'll tune you into what you need to be doing.
You know it's it's I I equate the the measuring
of someone's hand for instance of combine. It's a way
(28:20):
to get somebody to either say no or to feel
good about the guy you want to draft. Because if
you like Kenny Pickett and you heard that he had
a his hands were big, that's something that all right, great,
now I love the guy even more, right I want
if I'm looking for a way to say yes, If
you didn't like Kenny Pickett and you saw that his
hand as small, it's well, I can't draft him. Now.
(28:42):
It's another reason to not draft him. I was unsure
about Kenny Pickett. But his hand is tiny. Maybe he
doesn't throw the football, maybe he can't do it in
the elements it's a way for for for me to
say no. It's the same thing about when you want
to buy a car. You want to feel good about
buying a car. So today's news that an extra eighth
of a inches on Kenny Pickett's hand. This is like
(29:02):
you going in meeting with the dealer and they tell
you what they can do for you, and you go
home and you go, I don't know, I gotta talk
it over with my wife. And after a couple of
days a guy called you back and says, you know,
I can get you an extra five hundred dollars off
sticker price, Like in the primate price of a car.
You're talking about something that's twenty five thou dollars, but
I'll get you an extra five hundred dollars off. And
you go, oh, okay, maybe, oh answer five hundred dollars off.
(29:24):
And then you convinced what we were We were we
were kind of injured before, we weren't sure. Oh but
extra five hundred yet now we're in. Now we're in
on it because that's the difference. And extra eight it's
only the guy got an extra inch and a half.
The guy got an extra eighth of an inch. Okay,
So it's it's like the same thing is getting five
hunt dollars off a car. If you don't want to
be excited about it, you can be. If you don't
want to be excited about it, you're not. But the
(29:46):
eighth of an inchin is literally all right. You may
be mismeasured. Yeah, there's stuff in there. It's a rounding here.
Oh I'm sorry. I actually measured in centimeters rather than
I had the other side of the ruler up. That's
my fault. Let's let's measure again. Oh yes, sir, your
hand is six inches long. Sorry about that. Oh, good
(30:06):
luck trying to throw that duke football. Congratulations. Be sure

Happy Monday, Happy Monday, celebrating Kenny Pickett's extra eighth of
an inch wait for wait for it, wait for it.
(31:13):
It's gonna be good on his hand, on his hand. Now,
the guy's gonna go number one overall. Got that? Actually? Uh,
quarterbacks have been the order of the day today. Matt
Ryan is now a cult. Marcus Mariotta is now taking
over for him as the Falcons tank. As the Falcons
try to move on from Matt Ryan, rebuild, reboot, reload,
(31:35):
and then with Matt Ryan, it's it's like, you know,
Matt Stafford and Alliance, you know where we're done here, right.
I gave you four days to to get something done.
I deferred my seven point five million dollars several days
to help you out. But if the quarterback match making
that's left really only involves Baker Mayfield, and Jimmy Garas below, right,
(32:00):
that's really the last two guys that are gonna need
to change teams at some point. And Garoppolo is gonna
be a little bit a little a while because of
his shoulder injury, which really just I think screwed up
the entire off season because had he been healthy, he
would have been the guy traded first and everything would
have gone from there. But because suddenly, oh I got
(32:21):
shoulder surgery, that screwed everything up. Right. Now, everything we
saw since then has been a byproduct of that. Then
suddenly teams decided to wait for Aaron Rodgers then jump
in for Russell Wilson. But if he and Mayfield are
the last two guys, we told you that that Seattle
might be the best destination for Baker Mayfield. His personality
might mesh with Pete Carroll, who preaches competition, and Baker's
(32:42):
got a chip on his shoulder. The fit for Garoppolo
is still the team that I said was gonna wind
up getting him at the end of the season. It's
still Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has said many times we're going to
camp with four quarterbacks, right, getting Mitchell Drabinsky or now
back to Mitch bringing him in. Not bad, right, He's
done nothing with Buffalo the last two years, so people
(33:04):
think he's good. Oh yes, it's done anything to show
us he sucked. He might be good now. This is
kind of how it works in the NFL. Do nothing
for a couple of years, people think you're still good,
but they need to add somebody else, and Garoppolo will
still wind up being the guy because the Steelers are
going to make some kind of of bold ish move
at quarterback, whether it's we're gonna wait till the draft
(33:25):
and get somebody in the draft, or make a move
right after the draft of somebody else drafts a quarterback
they like, somebody else might be free. The Steelers will
do something, and I still look at them as the
right destination because garoppolos a pro. He can rest and rehab,
Trubisky can get all the reps in camp and all right,
and when Garoppolo is ready, you have the battle and
(33:46):
he can take over. And that's kind of how the
Steelers are gonna wind up playing it. And so for
the place for Garoppolo to go where they can wait
and hope that he's healthy when the season starts. Look
the Steelers have said, all right, we're coming to camp
with these guys, and we got Rabinsky and if we
have to go to him, he's okay. But really, Garoppolo,
I think it's still their guy. That's still he's gonna
(34:08):
wind up ending up. No. I appreciate you trying to
add an extra year from Mitchell in Buffalo. He's only
there a year. Oh there here, so, but you haven't
there for three years, year and a half, two years,
three ye, I mean, I know we we kind of
get into a when did that really happen? Because of
the pandemic and trying to put things on timelines. That's tough.
(34:28):
I think Garoppolo stays right where he is, Like, because
you got Trey Lance and you're trying to figure out
what he is. Right shoulder surgery allows Lance to get
first team reps. Doesn't mean you're not bringing in somebody else,
uh in the interim taking throws and and running through
drills and all. But I think the timeline works that
(34:49):
Garoppolo is ready to go. Dollar cost averaging, you're in
for the norm of what the quarterback position cross costs
across the league, and in terms of free agents are
still available. Who's going to be better than him? Nobody
you know. But they're still there, but still the one.
They're still the one to run to Twitter and out
(35:13):
about a fresca. Mike gets swollen down The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmen. Coming up next a story involving
Urban Meyer. Today, it was even hard to believe, but
