4.25: Shedeur Sadness - Hour 3

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's time for Coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on
Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
So last night's first round of the NFL Draft got
started at eight o'clock. Tonight they'll start at seven, and
of course it'll go late into the evening. And you know,
I said it right before we went to break. I
really do believe it's one of the one of the
better values you'll get as far as you know, it's
not appointment viewing necessarily, but you still see a lot
of players that you recognize in the second and third

(00:35):
round of the NFL Draft, and obviously you still get
really good value in the second and third round. I mean,
I think being a second and third round pick, really
there's rare situations where you're like, wow, can you believe
that guy felled in number two? I mean, I think
we're hearing that now because of of Shador Sanders and

(00:58):
just the thought that like maybe everybody was believing the
hype and somebody's gonna take him in like the top ten.
Clearly that didn't happen, but I mean I would imagine
there's some guys. Look, there's guys who've never were never
drafted they ended up having great, impactful NFL careers that
really left the mark and changed a franchise in a
positive way. So but as far as just like best

(01:18):
players still available, I mean, I'm just looking here who's
expected to be taken tonight in round two and round three,
and I don't. I mean, maybe it's just because I'm
not as polished as I usually and when it comes
to just knowing who's out there and who's really good.
But you know, I don't feel like there's like names
that really pop, like Wow, that guy, he's going to

(01:39):
be special, And I feel like usually you say that
in the second round. Again, none of us really know
how any of this is going to work out. There
are countless examples of players at every position where you
thought it was going to be a can't mispick and
then didn't work out, or a guy that you couldn't
believe somebody drafted and wow it ended up being, you know, phenomenal.
Traveon Henderson is believed to be the first guy off

(02:01):
the board tonight. Obviously he's gonna be h the Nick
Chubb replacement for the Browns, at least that's probably what
they're envisioning. If in fact they take him and then
Luther Burden for Missouri receiver. He's a really talented guy
and I liked him too. Yeah, I like him a lot.
I feel like he didn't have I mean, again, he's
still had a lot of hype, and clearly, if he
goes in the second round, that's still a guy that clearly,

(02:21):
if he's a pick thirty five, that's still something that
tells you the NFL things a lot of him. But
I just got he came back, which surprised a lot
of people to Missouri last year, and he was still good,
but like he was one of those guys that had
so much momentum in twenty twenty three that like, I'm
not really sure what he could have done to kind
of exceed the momentum. So it's almost kind of like
he's kind of somebody that people not forget about necessarily,

(02:42):
but just you know, he's been he's been in the
same spot for quite a while. And again, not a
totally fair comparison, I suppose, but I think that's the
same way with Ashton Jilatte. He's not gonna be taken
in the second round or probably the third round, But
I mean he had so like he's somebody that really
I think he was at his peak as far as
buzz and real you know, love from the NFL right

(03:03):
after his junior season. But he decided to come back,
and I don't think he took a step back as
a senior. Maybe the numbers weren't quite as impressive, but
I think if you pay attention, it's because it's because
clearly he'd been established to a point where he was
going to get a lot of attention, including double and
triple team nearly every play. Looking out looking at at
some other names. He did talk about this earlier as

(03:24):
far as quarterbacks, Jylen Milroe, and I'm gonna look up
a different actually, Austin. You see if you can do
a quick little Google search, my man, and just see
she google second and third round mock draft and click
on the first one you see that's from a reputable
outlet that's not NFL dot Com. Because I just want
to see if there's a difference here, because what I
have here, and again I don't trust one mock draft

(03:44):
guy more than the other. I just grabbed the first
one that popped up here, and they have Milroe going
fortieth okay, I side pulled up. Okay, so Milroe's going
fortieth to the to the Saints here, meaning he would
be the third quarterback off the board, and then the
next quarterback would be Tyler Shuck if this accurate, because
they've got shut going at pick number fifty two to
the Seattle Seahawks, and then they have the Browns taking

(04:06):
shit Or Sanders in the third round tonight with one
of their first picks in the it's actually the third
pick in the third round, which again, maybe that happens,
but I think if the Browns really like shitt Or Sanders,
they would have taken him last night, because I just,
you know, I doubt that they didn't take him and
really liked him because they were they were well aware

(04:27):
he'd still be there in the third. So if they
take him in the third, maybe they like maybe they
think to themselves they like him. However, you know, they
didn't like him for a first or a second, but hey,
we'll take a shot on him as a third because
you know, why not. He's got that high upside to
where you know, maybe he does pop and he's really
really really good. I mean, somebody said this to me
the other day. And I'd never thought about it, but
every team in the NFL passed on Lamar Jackson. Hence

(04:49):
the reason actually who didn't have a pick in the
first round because they didn't pass on him. But like,
I don't think they would have taken him. Whoever it
was the Ravens actually passed on Lamar. I don't people
remember that or not. The Ravens first drafted in the
first round Hayden Hurst, who was a tight end who yeah,
came from playing baseball as a pro to then playing
like one or two years as a tight end at

(05:10):
South Carolina, and then of course he became a first
round pick and he's bounced around the NFL. But anyways,
like if the Ravens didn't take him at pick thirty two,
I mean, given that, really there didn't seem to be
many other teams that were interested in him. I mean
I shouldn't. I mean, we'll never know. And it's a
silly hypothetical because it's many years later, but I wonder

(05:30):
where Lamar would have gone because there's a lot of
guys I guarantee you that are off the board the
first round that had that team not really liked them,
they might have gone fourth or fifth round. I mean,
we'll never know, but you know, I just think with Sanders,
I mean, if he's with his position, you know, quarterback,

(05:50):
which is clearly really really important, and he goes past
the second round and nobody takes him, that's the full
on confirmation that the NFL does not believe any of
the hype. Really, he'll still get drafted, but it could
end up being one of those teams that doesn't need
a quarterback. But they're like, Okay, we didn't expect this
guy to be available because we thought some some you know,

(06:11):
some team would be too you know, too eager to
take a quarterback because they just can't resist the urge
to go get a new franchise quarterback. But we will know,
we know we're gonna need somebody before too long, so
why not take a chance here?

Speaker 3 (06:22):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
The Jaguar did you see did you see Travis Hunter?
Ad meant last night? I don't even know if the
Jags wanted to say, but he was just being honest.
Did you hear Travis Hunter last night? Austin say that
Jags were one of the teams that did not talk
to him at all, Like they didn't show any like
they they did not, like he had no clue he
was gonna they were going to trade up to get him,
because they didn't. They didn't, they didn't. Here's what I
would imagine. They probably just didn't expect him to be there,

(06:45):
so they just knew, like, the only scenario we need
to like think about him is if we want to
trade up. And then they got close to it and
they decided to do that. Also, I don't know if
people realize this or remember this. You probably don't and
it doesn't matter now, but the Jazz traded up to
get Donovan Mitchell. Yes, the Jazz never interviewed him. The
Jazz never talked to him.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
I don't remember that.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, the Jazz never. The Jazz were never a team
that that that had Like of all the NFL or
the NBA teams that were in on Donovan that like
he was talking to trying to get a feel him
and his agent as far as what the interest level was,
the Jazz were not one of them. And sure enough
they didn't just take him. They traded up to get him.
So there's got to be a strategy to that that.
I don't know what it is, but like you don't
on Draft day, fall in love with a guy that

(07:26):
you that you intentionally did not interview, and like, really
do your vetting as far as you know, one on one.
So it was what's your what's your mock draft looking like?

Speaker 3 (07:34):
On sioked?

Speaker 4 (07:36):
I looked at two of them because I went to
SI and then after that I just went straight to
athlon sports. But they're almost the same. So I'm gonna
start with the Athlon Sports since that's first one. I
have one here. First quarterback they have going as Jaln
Milroe to the Browns at thirty six, okay, and then
the very next pick being Shadoor to the Raiders, which
I could totally see that happening, and then a few

(07:56):
more picks after that the Saints snagging Tyler Tyler Shuck
at forty. SI also says the same thing about Shuck
at forty to the Saints, but they also have and
just they also had the Browns picking same thing they
outside the brown or they had the Browns picking Shadoor

(08:17):
at three and then at forty is when they have
Tyler Shook, and then they don't have Milroe going till
the Raiders until pick sixty eight.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah. I mean again, maybe this is just recency where
I'm just like, you know not, I kind of feel
like the NFL, like, no matter what year it is,
no matter what the draft looks like, everybody's just guessing
as far as what teams are actually gonna do. And
sometimes we don't even need to think about it. We
know what they're gonna do because it's pretty obvious just

(08:45):
with the way things align. But I kind of feel
like with this quarterback crop being one that like everybody
is aware of that it's not a great class. And yes,
everybody knows that there's certain NFL teams that just need
It's not like they're going to be greedy and overthink
it and try to envision a guy being somebody that

(09:06):
he's not. Like, put it this way, the Steelers, it
would be downright irresponsible for them not to draft a quarterback, right,
I mean they've got Mason Rudolph, that's it. And yeah,
they could go do something in free agency, but like,
if the Steelers don't take a quarterback, like, what are
they gonna do? There's no way. And again, the Steelers
are the kind of team that will do whatever they
want to do and not worry about what anybody thinks

(09:27):
and to their credit, they've also been a franchise that
many times people look like, how would you not pay
this guy? Why are you not taking care of your
offensive linemen? And why are you keeping Tomlin? And more
often than not, they've been able to get the last laugh,
and they make the right decisions that they don't put
any like, they don't factor in a motion or what
anybody else is going to say. They just make decisions
that they feel like are best for them. So you know,

(09:48):
maybe maybe they won't take a quarterback and somehow they'll
get something to work out and it'll be great. Maybe
they get Rogers to come to Pittsburgh. I don't think
he wants to come to Pittsburgh. So you know, the
Steelers like to me, they have at times, I think,
been really wise to not do what other NFL teams do,
and that is that just the scenario I used earlier

(10:09):
is just they've been able to see a guy for
who he is and not get you know, why not
get wide eyed and dreamy about a quarterback and envision
them being something that they're not. I mean, I think
last night that's what the freaking Giants did. Like I
don't I think the Giant, the New York Giants sees
something in Jackson Dart that nobody else sees. Again, he's
not bad, It's not like they drafted some dude who

(10:31):
couldn't start at all, miss but like, to me, that's
just a force. And like they they they last night. Again,
maybe maybe maybe it works out differently and we're all wrong,
but to me, that just screams busted. And sometimes you know,
there are guys who you can just tell from a
mile away that's gonna be a disaster, and it usually
ends up being a disaster. I mean, And that to me,
I think that's what's gonna happen with Jackson Dart. But

(10:52):
I would love for the Steelers to take to take
Shuck because you know, they're they're pretty good elsewhere. I
mean they've got I mean they've got DK Metcalf. Now
who's there, who's their top receiver who broke out recently
that's been I mean a really good weapon for him
for the Steelers. Yes, Picks, Yes, Pickens. And then obviously
they're they're always pretty set defensively and they're a well

(11:16):
run organization to where like they wouldn't need Schuck to
come in and and and you know they wouldn't demand him.
All right, look, you got to make something happen here.
You got to work your magic. We drafted you in
the second round, and you know it's on you.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Man.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
They would never do this, They would never position it
like this. But a lot of times you draft this,
this new quarterback that's going to change your franchise, and
and I think you know it's it's not realistic. But
the hope is that he's so good that he elevates
your team. But if your team is so bad like meeting,
you're the Titans and you're drafted number you're the number
one pick because you're the worst team, that quarterback could

(11:53):
be a billion times better than what you think he
is as the number one pick, and it still might
not result in you being much better because you know
you were terrible initially. And football is the one sport
where not one guy can do it. I mean, what
did you say, Alstin that they've already elevated the the
the win totals for for the Titans, like by six
games because of cam Ward.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Uh? Well, that that's what Jay Mack was talking about.
That's what Jackson.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
He says from three wins to nine wins just by
getting cam Ward.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, I mean him and what army and if and
if they do it's because the divisions lousy. But I
don't think that's real lost. They're not being the Texans,
They're not beating I mean, I mean, the Titans were
worse than the Jags. I mean the Titans were the
number one pick for a reason.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
You know what I'm saying, Like, well, wait a minute,
let's not spaage Jason McIntire's name. Remember he had that
great analysis on that one Auburn player that had the
good crossover.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Oh yeah, he's got this great crossover. Yeah, yeah, he's
he likes to shoot the three. Like just just just
filler words because he doesn't know how to talk about basketball.
And uh yeah, he's he's uh, he brings energy and
he does not shot away from sharing sharing opinions. But
he also at times, you know, is kind of right.
You know, he's j Max. So anyways, real quick, before

(13:07):
we get to a break and then we come back.
When we do, it's really important. And that is the
official draft, and that is our fast food item draft
five rounds. Austin and I I have no clue what
to expect because you know, you and I we've become
pretty close over the years. But I don't really know
a lot about your palette, you know what I'm saying.
I'm not I'm not sure what your go to is

(13:27):
when you're when you're hitting the drive through to get
some lunch. But all I know is, and I said
this Austin earlier, we're going to be hungry as hell
when this ends. Like I know that's going to happen.
But before we do that, real quick, just to kind
of reset something that I that I threw out there
earlier that I don't think anybody really is is acknowledging, or
maybe it's because I'm the only one that sees it
this way. But when it comes to Shador Sanders, you know,

(13:49):
it's now being positioned as if like he's a victim
here and like he was entitled and he earned a
first round draft pick, like he earned he earned a
spot in the first round. And you know, last night
you've got booger McFarland, and I mean even Rich Eisen
kind of said something along the lines of what what
what what others have been saying, which is that there's
certain things about shit or that people look at as

(14:11):
a red flag. They criticize it, whereas if it was
another quarterback, it would be viewed as like a strength
because he's got confidence, he's got belief in himself. And
he's not he's cool, he's he's not, you know, he's
never stressing out there. And like that may be true,
but like nobody's entitled to be drafted, Like you can't.
You don't earn a spot in the draft. You have

(14:32):
to like somebody has to want to pick you. And again,
the analogy that I use is like, well, hey, you know,
I've been working my ass off. I've been losing weight.
I've been you know, I've been. I've been working on myself.
I got a good tan going on, I've been in
the gym. I got the low te figured out thanks
to doctor Wood at the Louisville Men's Clinics. So listen up,
you know, Margo Roby, I need I need a date.

(14:52):
I earned it. Like that's not how it works, like you.
I mean, like that's again, if you have if you
are undefeated and you miss the tournament or missed the playoff,
like that's a different conversation. The draft is not about
earning anything. You have to sell yourself and somebody like
the draft is all about a decision, not about a result,
not about not about a victory or accomplishments. So like, yep,

(15:16):
maybe he is going to prove everybody wrong. But the
fact that some are already acting like he's a victim
and he's robbed, I mean, like nobody's entitled to be
drafted at all, because again, the people drafting have to
they have to pick you, and they might not be
picking him for a variety of reasons. But like he
could have been a billion times better than he actually
was and it would have not led to him actually

(15:37):
being entitled to be taken. It's just, you know, I
don't know why people can't understand that, Like, the draft
is not a game. The draft is not a competition
at all. I quick break will go back on the
other side and get to the real draft, the fast
food item draft right here on Sports Talk seven.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Ninety Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's
on Sports Talk seven nine day.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
So for those that were expecting to to go to
the Louis of Bats game today, they were supposed to
be playing I think as we speak. However, they game
got rained out, just like yesterday. So it turns out
they're gonna have a double header tomorrow and you will
hear the action right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
All right, so we got about thirty minutes left, and
I'm going to try not to make this as lengthy
as as I typically do when it comes to drafts,

(16:22):
because I just kind of get, you know, I just
get they're fun, they're fun to do, and I kind
of feel like we wouldn't It wouldn't be a mistake
to like make it'd be hard to come up with
good stuff consistently, but like there should be a day
every week where we do some kind of draft like this,
because I feel like Fridays are perfect for yah, because
I feel like a lot of people, you know, I
mean decompressing, Yeah, I mean I think about something else.

(16:45):
I don't know who wouldn't have opinions or interest in
like thinking of you know best. You know, we were
doing fast We're gonna do fast food menu items here,
but like you could do all kinds of stuff like
we did. We did rom coms on Valentine's Day, that
kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
So yeah, people could text that they want to see
what kind of stuff that they would like to hear
on them we would love to get.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, actually, that's that's a great idea because they could
give us some good suggestions that we would never think of.
You know that that might make perfect sense. So yeah,
if you have any any suggestions of things you think
would be an interesting draft, please be sure to let
us know. All right, So, uh, I'm going to give
you the first pick here all right and see what
you what you like to do, so so it can
be just so you know, it can be you know,

(17:25):
fast food. I think everybody kind of has a good
grasp of what is truly considered fast food. I think
when it comes to like a sit down restaurant fast
casual if you will, that that's where there's a little
bit of a gray area because like you know, for example, Chipotle,
they're putting up one near my home, and across the
street from that there's a Chili's. I think those are

(17:46):
different types of restaurants. I think I think Chipotle would
qualify more so as fast casual, whereas I think Chili's
is a sit down restaurant. So so, you know, I
think fast casual could could be included. But like a
menuided from like a Chili's or a you know.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
It's not accessible through like a drive through where you're
pulling up you need something, right.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
And honestly, this is this is a way that I
kind of separate. Do they serve booze? You know what
I mean? Like do they have a bar? That's true
because like the fast casuals usually don't. Some of them.
You can get a beer, but like it's in that
little it's just sitting an ice up there to where
it's like you know, and they probably don't sell a
whole lot of them, but they do have it available, right,
you can get one where the other day, Actually it's

(18:27):
been a while I was at get a beer Chili
can't you? Oh yeah, well Chilis has a bar, but
Chipotle you can't police, I don't think you can't. But
like it, but it mos they have like I could
get I could get one, but like you know, it's
I felt like I was looking like a real drunk
because nobody else seems to go there to drink, you
know what I mean. Yeah, So anyways, the floor is
yours first pick. You're on the clock. Who you got?

Speaker 3 (18:48):
All right?

Speaker 4 (18:49):
This one is a controversial one. And if you've never
had it before and you always like to rag on it,
I'm sorry, I'm gonna go with it.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
If I'm put.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
If there's a dream I could go right now and
get this thing through a drive in, I'm going with
the In and Out Burger double double animal style. Okay
it is, And I don't know where all the hate
comes from. And for some odd reason they've grown a
rivalry with water Burger, which I also do love Waterburger,
but both can be great, right, both are great, but

(19:18):
there's something about I remember when they first built the
In and Out Burger in Tucson when I was living there,
and the line we had to wait probably like a
month to go because the line was just absolutely bonkers.
I think it stretched around the shopping center that it
was at, like for at for weeks, over a month,
And I remember getting it, and man, my dad would
tell me about it because he got stationed in Vegas

(19:39):
a lot and it was straight out of the West Coast.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
So I don't know.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
Every time I bite into an In and Out Burger
a double double, and I get an animal style in
the fries animal style too, but so it takes me back.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
It's their traditional animal it's their traditional like burger double cheeseburger,
but animal style is just like a type of way
you can get it right.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
And it's secrets not on the menu. I'm pretty sure
if you've heard of the Lord or the secret menu
of In and Out Burger, haven't you? Oh yeah, so yeah,
when you ask for that, there's only like five or
six different things on the menu if you go to
an in and out Burger, but you you have to
know what to order.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
That's where the secret menu comes into play.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Good stuff, all right, I'm gonna go and look, my
my board has been has been pretty pretty consistent as
far as you know, who I really like, the prospects
that I really really trust. But there's there's there's been
a late move here, at least on my on my part,
to where I, you know, what I thought might be
worthy of a second maybe even a third rounder. Maybe

(20:35):
it's just because it sounds so delicious right now, I'm
moving it up to take it in the first Okay,
I'm taking the Taco Bell Chicken Caesadia ooh. I mean,
I I don't know how popular they are, but like
on my board, the sauce and like it's Taco Bell
has a lot of good menu items, but to me,
like I and it's why when I go to Taco Bell,
my menu, my meal is now typically like way more expensive,

(20:57):
triple quadrupleed amount that it was just year ago, because
I'll get other stuff that like I want to try
or something that I know that I like. But I
can't go to Taco Bell without adding a casadia, which
usually ends up in me eating enough, you know, by
myself to feed my whole family, because you know, Taco
Bell is just you know, it's that good. But I'm
going chicken caesadia, and I do get the extra the
extra creamy jalapeno sauce on it.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
That's that's the kicker. Yet I literally get it with
light sauce on the audio. I used sometimes they can
they can pour it on me.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
I used to do that too, and I just felt
like it's a little too zesty, like a little too
a little too bold. But now I've learned to know,
like I need that sauce. It's that good.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
Okay, Well, here's a question. Because I'm normally eating on
my lap while driving, I never that I'm a sex
a talent. I can't do that I am a psychopath,
so like to reduce the risk of things spilling all
over me and giving away the fact that I've eaten
out before dinner and my fiance not finding out.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
You got to learn what you gotta do.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
So now that you say like I don't pre dinner
case I I don't do.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
It because I don't do it because of you know,
I worry about getting messy. But I now realize, like
anything I get from Taco Bell, I'd have a tough
time eat, Like you would have to get that light
sauce because it's a messy eat. It's a messy meal.
And any talk, anything I get at Taco Bell, other
than maybe the nacho fries, I wouldn't be able to eat,

(22:16):
like in the car even if I'm not driving. And
there's also another one that's on my board that that like,
I gotta be sitting down and I might as well,
like you use one of my kids bibs, because it's
gonna be messy, but it's gonna be worth it. So
we got we got first round. In the books, Austin
went within an out burger animal style, I'm going Chicken
ca City at Taco Bell with the extra Kriaby Alipino.
Who's who you got in round two?

Speaker 4 (22:35):
I'm gonna stay with Taco Bell and I'm gonna move
over to It's It's like in the fantasy draft. Once
it's now start to feel panicked, right, you see someone
take a kick or a defense high, I gotta go
get it.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
You think it's coincidence. Why that you've seen some drafts
NBA or NFL where you see two guys from the
same college drafted back to back. It's because, oh, you're right,
team was pretty good.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
Yeah, so might as well. I'm in Taco Bell. Make
fun of it all you want, but it's always been
clutch to go with. I think, what is the single
greatest food item possibly ever produced?

Speaker 3 (23:05):
And that's a crunch trap? Supreme? Okay, I love the
crunch traps.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Those are really really popular. Are now? Are those the
items that they took away and then brought back and
everybody got all excited?

Speaker 4 (23:14):
No, no, those weren't the load of potato, I thought, No, No,
Mexican pizza went away.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
For a while.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yes, my wife it was a It was a tragic
experience for her when she realized the Mexican pizza was gone,
and then when they brought it back. I think she
ate it like eight times a day.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
I don't even think it was the same, just like
it never was.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Right, So crunch Trap Supreme from Taco Bell around number two,
good stuff. I'm going to go with a little plain Jane.
But man, you know, I like what I like. I
know what's gonna work with my organization. You know what
I'm saying, Like, it's not flashy, it's uh, you know
some some might not even say that it's that special,
But you know what, I know, I know what. I
know what it takes to be successful in our in

(23:53):
our own organization here. So in round two, I'm going
with the double cheeseburger at McDonald's.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Oh, always clutch.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
I mean, it's the double cheese. I get it plain
and uh, you know, it's never it's never bad, but
when it's good, like it's I mean, I just I
need to I need to take a moment and just
sit down and just and just take in the fact
that I just had a fast food burger that's probably
in no way in any I mean, it's not good
for me at all, but man, it's real. But it Yeah,
I don't know what it is, but it's good.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
I know that.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
So the double why do you get a plane? I
don't have I get everything plain.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Okay, well I'm the same thing, so there, so so
eat like a nine year old.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
So check this out. On the burger, all I need
is meat and cheese on any sandwich. I'm not getting
any lettuce, tomato, nothing. So well, so I thought I
was playing Jane. And I always used to say that
I have the palette of like of a toddler. But
then when John produced for me, did you know he
doesn't eat any sauce. He eats any sauce, salad, no dressing, pancakes,

(24:53):
no syrup.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (24:56):
No? He became a bit on the show because like
I said, man, like, you know, how do you do that?

Speaker 3 (25:00):
I said?

Speaker 2 (25:00):
People like what they like. But I'm like, I'm letting
you know because I care about you. If you tell
people that they are going to one thousand percent, assume
you are a great a psychopath. Psych that is psychotic behavior.
So you know here I we're exotic compared to him
as far as I'm paying. Yeah, I mean I don't.
I don't you know, ranch and ketchup for certain dipping.

(25:20):
But no, I'm playing. I'm mister. I'm a plain Jane guy.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
I like, Yeah, I hate onions, I hate tomatoes, I
hate lettuce. Well, I've actually found out I've grown a
palette for liking some like like I like healthy foods.
I've turned out I really like asparagus. I really do
love spinach, and like I like it in a salad.
I don't like it on anything. I also hate like

(25:44):
shredded lettuce and romain lettuce, Like I hate that kind
of salad. I don't know what it is, but like,
I don't mind a salad. I don't like that stuff.
I like salad, taco, my burger.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
So I've learned that I actually do like like green peppers,
bell peppers. I clearly like lettuce enough to have salad.
I don't like onions as far as the texture of them,
but certainly they do add flavored to things. But I
don't like I've enjoyed burgers and sandwiches for my whole
life without it, So yes, I've developed that I don't
I've learned that I can't eat it on its own

(26:15):
and it's not bad, but like, I don't need to
add it at this point in the game, the burger's
good to me without any of that stuff on it.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
Now, Now, do you hate like or do you have
to like regret when asking, Yeah, I'd like to get
this burger, but can I get it without the lettuce, tomato,
the onions?

Speaker 3 (26:30):
And then just watch the server's face go.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
So that's a great question because I went to lunch
with my wife and I got Buffalo Chicken mini's and huh,
it's a Buffalo chicken mini sandwich and it came with lettuce, tomato,
and pickle, and I said, I want it plain. And
I just never know if it didn't used to be

(26:53):
a thing, but now it's like a fifty to fifty
if I get it with no buffalo sauce. Well, I
didn't order many chicken and I you know, so I
just assume it's a given that I want the buffalo
sauce on there, you know what I mean. And if
I say cheeseburger, I now say just the cheese, because
at times I'll say plain. But I feel like if
you order a cheeseburger and you get it plain because
you said cheeseburger and not a hamburger, it's a given

(27:14):
that you want the cheese, right, absolutely, but sometimes there's
a little bit of a disconnect. So like what I
do now is just to not be passive aggressive or
like to make it seem like I'm being pushy. I'll
ben like, after everybody's taken an order, did I Ever'm
going to tell you that I wanted it? Just plain
just to kind of let them know, like just to
emphasize what I really want.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Round three?

Speaker 2 (27:31):
What do you got?

Speaker 3 (27:32):
We're doing four? Three?

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Is this this fourfeat?

Speaker 3 (27:35):
This is three?

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Three?

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah? Three?

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Okay, gotcha? So this is my last pick?

Speaker 2 (27:39):
We're doing four? Oh okay, that's why? Ok Okay, well
I get what you mean now. I thought you meant
was I asking? Was this the fourth round? Yeah, we're
gonna do four. We'll do four picks, and this is
your third one.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Since I since I've lived in Arizona all my life,
And it was the same way of me trying to
tell Arizona people what this was like back then as
I do to people that live here in Louisville what
it is to Arizona. I just love going through the
White Castle, dry through and.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Get that's a good that's a good third round value
right there, not bad, that's a good so just just
this classic white Castle and.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
Guess what, sometimes I'll tell them to scrape those onions off.
I just I just want that plane and that.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
I've learned that I can't eat them and be fine,
but yes, I prefer them without the onions. Now they
put a pick they put a pickle on it. When
I tell them, no pickle, I'm calling the cops. Oh
that's just that's just what.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
We go saucy to the dousel door sauce no, no, no,
I just I.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Just go straight, uh straight burger and cheese.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Useel door will change your life.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
So those standard white Castle burgers they don't come. Do
they come with cheese or do you have to like
you have thought, Yeah, to me, that's kind of weird.
But you know, white Castle is certainly unique. All right,
So white Castle sliders, right, that's that's your So my
third round, this is the one I mentioned that like
I probably need to be hosed down after I eat
it because it could be real messy. But it is.

(28:55):
It is an Arby's beef and sheddar and it's because
it does have, of course, that the delicious cheddar cheese.
It's got like a red onion ranch kind of sauce
on it, but I loaded up in Arby's sauce too,
So the beef and cheddar, I.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
Mean, Arby's gets way too much.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
I got to finance it to eat it, because you know,
even before everything became expensive, you know, it was. I mean,
it's a different planet in price. And I don't eat
there often because I don't eat a lot of fast food.
Not because like I'm a health snow, but I just
you know, I'm at a point now where if I
eat a lot of fast if I eat fast food,
certain items like I just feel like crap. So anyways,
beef and cheddar. I went on like a five year

(29:33):
hiatus from the beef and cheddar because I hate one.
In New Orleans the morning, it was late at night,
but it was the night Louisville and the Sugar Bowl,
and we were roaming around Bourbon Street needed food. I
went to the Arby's on Bourbon Street and I ended
up eating a sandwich and it was the beef and cheddar,
and I realized that the roast beef was crunchy like
and that wasn't good and I got food poisoning. So

(29:54):
I did not eat beef and cheddar for a long time,
but then I had one. I finally had the stone stack,
you know, tried it again and I fell back in
love with it, so Bee and shuddered. Delicious stuff. That's
my third pick. What about your last pick?

Speaker 3 (30:05):
My last one?

Speaker 4 (30:06):
I feel like I gotta go with something sweet right here,
and you're gonna hate who I'm bumping off the top
the topic for it. We can go to our undrafted
free agents, but I'm gonna go with something sweet.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
I'm gonna go with the uh blizzard from Dairy Queen.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Okay, blizzard from DQ.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
Yes, it's nothing better than a hot day getting and
they have all sorts. They got a Snickers Blizzard, Reces, Skittles,
eminem and and they just they had their they have
their flavors of the month and it's just and they
do the thing where they dump it upside down for
you and I get it's amazing stuff. DQ blizzard.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
Baby.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
So I am really torn here with what I what
I've got kind of on the radar, and I was
gonna go I mean, I'll just tell you what I
was gonna do. I was really close to uh to
taking taking rally spries. Oh yes, but I think I
gotta go. Chick fil a Icy chicken sandwich. Oh, yes,

(31:02):
really good, the spicy. I love the Chick fil A
spicy chicken sandwich. It's just the perfect amount of perfect
amount of spice and uh, Chick fil A delicious. Clearly,
it's popular for good reason. Chick fil A is and
you always seem to want it on Sunday when you
can't get it. It's it's it's the truth.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
It's evil magic, you know, you know the one that
I left off in which maybe I should have just
put it on here because I feel terrible.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
We could. Yeah, there's a lot, there's a lot of
great talent that doesn't get drafted.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
But the first one that comes to mind that I
had to just because everything else was there for me
when I was a kid. But the well just miss
a cut. Our friends at Thornton's a sausage and cheese.
But you can't beat it, goodness, you can't beat it.
It was but that should show you where they rank it.
But I love food, clearly.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
What what fast food restaurant is? I don't want to
say like it's super popular, but you know there's a
ton of them, like outside of outside of McDonald's and
subway and places that are just every on every corner
in America. Like, there's a lot of these, but you
just don't. It's not that you don't like it, you
just never eat it. I'll give you wine.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Probably for me. Culver's. I love Culver's.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
There's not that many, but Culver's isn't like I'm I
haven't had Wendy's in ten years.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
That's a good one too, Yes, Wendy's, I haven't had
it forever.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
And Wendy's is fine, but there was never an item
that like hooked me to where I made it at
the regular rotation for fast food to where like I'm
not anti Wendy's, that's just it's not. I don't go
there very often. In another place, I mean, I can't
tell you the last time I had KFC. But when
I do, it's good, you know. I mean, I just
never think to go there. The one in our area
is not it's it's it's not great. So maybe that's

(32:32):
why I just never never go. But yeah, now, was
I right? We're hungry, aren't we?

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Uh much? We're hungry? I need me, I need me
some in and out so bad.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Oh, I'm hungry all right quick break. We'll come back
and wrap it up on the other side right here
on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on
Sports Talk seven nine.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Day final segment before we get out of here for
the weekend. Thank you guys for hanging out with us
on a Friday afternoon. I didn't mention this earlier in
the show, and I meant to. There's not a whole
lot to really add to it, but former loulov A
quarterback Pierce Clarkson did not have a long stay in Oxford.
He has entered the portal once again. So he's one
of those guys that transferred in the spring and you know,

(33:12):
realized I guess after spring ball that he was not
in a situation that he felt like was good for him.
I don't. I mean, I would imagine it's just because
that that never really made sense to me, because I
feel like with Lane Kiffin, how he wants to run
an offense that you know, Pierce, even if he does
end up being really successful, I just don't think the
fit was there. And honestly, I think that was a
factor with Jeff as well, So you know, I don't know,
if this means like he's gonna have to take like

(33:33):
a big step down because he's had the realization that
he's not as good to play at the power for
as as he thought. That may be the case, but
I just think a freshman quarterback, like not even a freshman,
but just like a first year starter at quarterback is
gonna be rare because now coaches don't have to risk

(33:54):
it and throw a guy out there even that they
even if they think they're talented. Most coaches, who you know,
it's their livelihood. They're coaching because it's their job and
they want to win games. It's what they have to
do to keep their job. If you know, you don't
have to go with a quarterback that's never started and
won a game, you probably won't, right, So I don't know.
I just think just like in basketball, you know, there's
gonna be freshmen that really if they want to show

(34:16):
what they can do and then end up at some
point in their college career playing at a really, really
high level. If you're not one of those guys that
you know, a top ten, top fifteen player, like you
might be better off to go to a lower level
that you wouldn't have gone to ten years ago because
you want the opportunity to play and show what you
can do, and then that's your big that's your big jump.

(34:37):
So you know, I don't know where peer sins up.
But I mean if I was advising a quarterback, which
I wouldn't, they wouldn't ask me to advise them on
what to do. But I feel like this day at
age like you can have all the highlights, all the accolades,
all the writeups about how good you are as a prospect,
but if you've never started a game and there's no
proof that you have shown you can win at a
high level, at a high level of college football, are

(35:00):
going to go get go to the portal and get
a guy that they know has played against power for teams,
that they know has valuable experience. So it's not like
it's not an indictment that these guys aren't as good
as everybody thought they were. It's just I mean, it
makes sense for a coach to look at his options
and say, yeah, I think this guy could eventually be good,
but I don't know because he's never been out there. Well,

(35:20):
the only way you're going to know is if you
put him out there. But there could also be the
risk that they're not as good as you need him
to be. And yet you have guys in the portal
that are you know, juniors and seniors that have played
a lot of football. So you know, that's one of
those things with the new world about college athletics that
don't I don't hear a whole lot about meaning, I
don't hear other people realize that like getting your first
opportunity to play valuable minutes for a really good program

(35:43):
in any sport, it's just not going to be as
easy because coaches who you know, it's their job to win,
they can go build the roster in the portal and
get guys that it's not as big of a risk
because they've played, they've proven it, and really it's just
more than anything, getting that chance to prove it is
harder now than it's ever been in So hope the
best for pears are just I don't really have a
clue where he may end up now, And if he

(36:06):
goes to a low level, it doesn't mean that he
was a bust. It just might mean that's his best
chance to show somebody that he's that he that he
can play and get valuable experience. All right, we're out
of here. You guys have a good weekend. We're back
at it on Monday for Derby Week. It should be
a lot of fun, so looking forward to it. Take care,
