Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dave temperson in here.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Bill honored, sir, you shouldn't I say what a tremendous
boss that you are.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
And in no way am I buttering you up for anything.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Of the sort we were talking about, because time I
get you a big break, I get you a big break.
And I told the story about how I broke the
Sam Bradford Nick Foles trade that sort of put me
on the map as a newsbreaker. But my big break
in terms of coming here or coming into getting into
the radio business, actually started with your predecessor. We're down
at uh, we're down at the Senior Bowl, and Ryan
Edwards had been talking me up, like trying to get me,

(00:30):
you know, guest spots and all that kind of stuff.
And so Ryan and Steve saw me down there and
said Hi, I did the thing, and your predecessor came
up and he thought, Ryan was I'm trying to use
the exact quote here. I think bsing was the word
that he used about me, like this guy's not connect,
he's just some nerd, you know whatever.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
And right after he said that, because he came to
talk to me or whatever.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Right after he said that, in walked a prominent NFL
head coach who like kind of eyeballed your predecessor. And
then like he's like are we having din he or what?
And so we went and sat over there and that
was the moment where he was like, Okay, he's not
you know right? You know it was I think most
people know the story was John Rudin came in and
like we wouldn't sat down had dinner, and that was

(01:09):
everybody in the restaurant's like looking around, you know whatever,
and he just felt like an idiot because he was
calling me out.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
And then and then that happened was yeah, anyway, So
that's what got me.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
But we wanted to have you in to talk about
your big break moment. What what was your big break moment?

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Man?

Speaker 3 (01:21):
I mean I think it, uh, I mean it was
a real I got really fortunate because I moved from
LA to Austin to UH to get into sports radio.
Because you hear those stories about being in too big
of a market, So go out to a smaller market
and see what you can do.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
And so.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
I moved out.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
There based on another program director who had promised me
some work, you know, and and I move out there.
Long story short, and this fella doesn't answer a phone
call just pretty much go I mean totally ghosts me. Right,
I'm sitting there in Austin, like I got nothing, So
so I knew I had about a year to figure

(02:01):
it out before I went back to California. And I
was like working for this Christmas ornament company in Buttea, Texas.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
I mean, just like, what have I done with my life?
You know? My parents, Like I told you, I have
to go out the big dope. And we end up.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Finding this this little ad for an internship at a
news talk station, and I go in for the interview
and unpaid internship for the morning show, and the program
director is like, what are you doing out here from La,
like like working at a warehouse and and I and
I told him I was supposed to be out here
for a sports radio station. Hasn't worked out, And he

(02:36):
says to me, he goes, well, I'm literally here to
turn this radio station into a sports station in two weeks.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
I got no sports people here at all. So so
he got me in the door and he gave me
every opportunity possible. Next thing I know, I'm doing afternoons.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
And then he ends up in Houston and he hires
me on Houston, and he also gave me my first
PD gig as well, there you go.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
So yeah, John and Danny who now works for ESPN Radio.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
He comes out here and produces a bunch of the
big you know, nuggets and games. It'll that'll happen here
by far that that that guy would have been that
person for me. And I was down and out out
there in Austin, Man. I was highly depressed, wondering what
the hell I'd do with my life. But but he
gave me the opportunity indo this day that would be it. Well,
you said you're working at a Christmas ornament factory. I

(03:22):
did ornament snow. It was like it was uh it was.
It was called the Christmas Corner and and they would
bring in the Christmas ornaments and they would leave them
in this warehouse and then all the local stores for
the holidays would go and get their run is from there. Okay,
So you want to you want to know when your
life is just in shape. You're sitting there at four

(03:46):
o'clock in the morning and you're unloading eighteen wheelers of
Sanna's and Missus clauses and.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Snowmen, and you're sweating I mean you're sweating.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Your balls out, I mean literally in Beauty Texas of
just heat and you're just I mean that was a
wake up call. I mean it was just truly what
if I delling myself? You know, it was now listen
this person to promised me an opportunity, right and then
just yeah and just completely And that's why I would
make contact with that person again.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Never again. Wow, never never again that person. Are they
still in the industry or no they're not.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
No.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Last i'd heard they went out to h to Florida.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
But it couldn't have gone better because I end up
with this guy John who has nothing but opportunity as
opposed to the station that I was intended to go
to that was the home of the Longhorns, and they
had they were just stacked up with with with a
lot of staff. But it actually turned out where the
path couldn't have been more more open, and with a
guy who was who truly bet on me a couple

(04:46):
of times on air as and as a manager.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
See that was I'm a religious man, so I'm going
to look at that is God working his magic, because
I always look at it this way that sometimes we
aspired to a tearing certain things and we want them
like a micro waste society. We want it right now,
and sometimes things don't really happen that way. But to
be put in that position or or yea, let me

(05:10):
back up. If you're not putting in that position, you
don't meet that guy, and then everything else that happened
in your life never happens.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
There's no doubt. I mean, that's the thing.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Was that at times when I tell that story, people go,
I can't believe you moved to Texas and there was
no job, And I said, I wouldn't change a thing.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Though, I wouldn't change a thing.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Because because it literally had to have these paths just
kind of just I mean truly my wife now at
the time, she was my girlfriend then and she was
from Austin. She got me going out to that city
to check it out. A thought this would be a good
place to start my career. If he hadn't found back
in you know what they call Grant the newspaper where
they had like literally he's like he doesn't know what

(05:50):
that is like classified out and an internship for a
news talk station.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
I might have been back in California by the time
my year was up. So it's pretty amazing how that
stuff aligned that I wouldn't change it for anything. And
this guy John has been absolutely like you said, man,
there's sometimes I truly, I'm sitting there in Austin like, what.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Have I absolutely done with my life? Will?

Speaker 3 (06:13):
What a horrible move this ended up being And it
turned out to be the absolute best. And yeah, it
got me lined up with this guy who truly then
he bet on me a second time in the biggest
market I worked in out in Houston. Gave me a
chance to be a manager, which I love to do.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Now.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
As Grant said, you know, now in this position you
have an opportunity to give some.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Other folks a shot, which is pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
You can kind of pay that back, of course, keep
you know people around that continually mess up, but somehow
find a way to.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Ingres Yeah that's right.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, yeah, some people who damn near maybe deserve to
be fired, you know, and yet they Yet there's something
that David tells.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Me, these that will be I've been editable as a manager.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
You might feel should have been.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Fired, But then the manager's come around and say no,
give this guy another shot.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
You say, fine, that's a great thing about it. And
for those who are listening to us, the reason I
think that this is a great conversation to have because
they're individuals out there right now who are where you were,
who were where or who currently or where I was,
where I was in that same situation where I was thinking,

(07:23):
you know what, this is not going to happen for me,
My dream of being an NFL player is not going
to happen. So just selling for the CFL and working
at some gem that was in and then I was
just like to help with that. I get one life
to live in this body, and I might as well
just try as much as I can and someone hopefully, well,

(07:43):
see here's this kid from the inner city who's working
his tail off. Let's give him an opportunity.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
See the value you bring. That's right.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
And for me, once again, you know, big shout out
to Wade Phillips, because it doesn't happen if he doesn't
much hands and bill parcels. Because the idea is that
someone's got to believe in you. But the other part
is of it is that you yourself have to put yourself
in the position where they can find you.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
So you have to do something productive.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
So you know, kudos to you man for kind of
getting that out, because I've been there before where you.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Like, man, what am I doing on life? And then
all of a sudden light goes on, Yeah, you just
got you just kind of go with with the flow.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
But to your point with it.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Is that you know that that was one of those
things where you realize this stuff isn't going to come
to me. Right, You've got to go and put yourself
into a spot. You got to believe in yourself and
whatever that is that you want to do, you want
to put yourself in the position for that opportunity because
if you're under the impression it's just going to come
find you, that is a very unlikely situation. So I

(08:53):
think if you're going about taking the right steps, you're
betting on yourself, as they say in a variety of things,
that is just trust in your gut, like I believe
I should be doing this, And when you hit that adversity,
at least you've put yourself in that spot for some
things to break your way, as opposed to just sitting
there with your hand out wait for somebody to come
and rescue you.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
And I can test I can be a testament to
that because when I first like with this sort of thing,
that was the way I approached it. Everything I'd had
in life I gotten through a connection, you know, at
that point in time, and so for me, I kind
of walked into this thing like hey, you know, I'm
you know, give me you know, And and there was
a rude awakening when it came to that early on
that like dude, emn, nobody handing this stuff out to you,

(09:36):
Like everybody wants these jobs. What do you bring to
the table. You got to go show it? And so
you know, I can I can certainly be a testament
to that portion of it when it came to this
this particular career, because I've had several I guess that.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
That, yeah, I mean, you gotta, you gotta.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
I mean, I make jokes all the time about a
lazy I'm and all this kind of stuff into a degree,
I guess I am. But on the other wad I
am I will outwork people to do the things I
have to do, you know. And that's the part of
it I make jokes about or don't mention is because
I don't want other people to come along and nott
work me. So I tell them I'm.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Not doing it. You know, keep them, keep them. But
that's how it is, you know.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
I mean, you got how many people want to play
professional football.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
Everyone in their mother right wants to play, but they
won't get that that chance.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
But I mean even this industry people you know, someone
people want to talk about sports for a living. It
takes an inherent arrogance to believe that you can do it,
first of all, but it also takes out working people
you know, and show them, showcasing value it is.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
And there's for me. I hope someone out there listening
to this and this conversation and they take something away
from it where if you ever dream, don't give up
on it, keep chasing it. Because surviving the dip is important.
And that was a book that Jerry Madelon, who at
one point worked at ESPN. He gave me that book

(10:50):
at one point and it was Surviving And it's so
important because so many things come at you in your
life where you think, well, you're not going to be
able to reach the pinnacle that you desire, but it
may come in a different form, but you just got
to continue to get up, vest yourself off, and continue
to work towards something and it may not always hit
the way you want to, but at least on that

(11:13):
journey you're going to find some level of success.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, And thinking of failure as a learning opportunity too,
not the end point.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Failure is the beginning, not the end. Like I think
that's the biggest thing that I learned.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Not all this kind of stuff is like when you
mess up or if that's a larning opportunity to get better,
it's not the end. You know, the most successful people
in the world are people that failed at starting businesses.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Doesn't need whatever, Yeah, Jeff Bezels, I.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Mean that's a failed starting failed businesses all over the place.
They learn from all those to refine the process until
they got better at it.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
I tell folks, young folks or not even young folks
that are just in this thing because I've been ready
about twenty five years. And an adversity is a priceless thing, man,
It's a priceless thing.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Like I would not change.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
It's part of why when you look at the NFL,
there's a bunch of guys like yourself who are low
or no draft pick guys, right, because they just you're
on yourself. You just want that shot and you need
somebody to give you some sort of an opportunity. But
you're you know, you can constantly reflect back on those
moments of like, oh man, this day just isn't for me,
or this challenge just seems so large, But then you

(12:15):
can remind yourself being in some of those real dark
moments that you did you put yourself in a position
to dig yourself out of it. And then when it
comes along and goes, hey, I see you hustling, let
me give you, let me give you a.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Little shot here.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
That I truly tell folks like I would rather have
a staff of people that have grinded and have had
to build their way through, as opposed to folks where
they just somebody goes, hey, you want to be in
the radio business, and off you go. Not that there
aren't some people that are are good that way, but
it's but there's something about that having that adversity and

(12:50):
having to test your will to want to really keep
going that it's just.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
A priceless thing. Man. And again I truly mean it.
I wouldn't I would not, I would not change a thing.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I yeah, because I and I can appreciate that you're
saying that because I come from it from the other angle, right,
I didn't have to grind my way through small markets
or any of that kind of stuff like this was
my my first gig was in Denver, in Kwa, you know,
and I did take that for granted, you know, for
a long time. And it took it took a couple
of week of calls to sort of get that, you know,
sort of get that to to resonate, and so I

(13:21):
can I can appreciate the people in a way that
I didn't when I started.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Good that way what you do, but there's an appreciation
for that about if your path isn't like that, then
you have a different grind to make. In many ways,
you're like, I got to prove I got to be
here because I got something ahead of some folks a
job of people who didn't.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
I cut the line, right, So like there's there's that
that in the back of your mind. It's like, well,
these people are looking at me, like, who's this guy
who got to cut the wine?

Speaker 3 (13:46):
When I like you, I didn't people like you, and I.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Improved myself again, Daggers grants mustache is staring Daggers at
me right now. But no, I mean, but that's the thing,
like every day I do have that there is a
from my end, there's sort of an imposter syndrome that
sets in sometimes like do I belong here? Do I
really belong here? And then you've got to reprove yourself,
you know, every day. If you don't, then you'll start

(14:12):
taking it for granted and risk getting run off for
somebody who's younger, hungrier and better mustached.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
You can, but you can also, you know, And it's
everyone has their own ways of you know, making their path.
And the other side of that is, yeah, when it
gets to be those real paint in the ass days
of plenty of adversity, there is something really nice to
tap into that well of like, man, as bad as

(14:38):
this is, trust me, man, I I was in my
little war.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
I'm like it was four am.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
I'm unloaded Santa claus in buta Texas and uh, you
know what, man, this is, Uh this is gonna be
all right. I know I've got what it takes to
get this thing figured out as well. And there's really
no wrong way to do it to your point, Ben,
or certainly are ways. I'm not saying it's you know,
it's it's necessarily the better way, but there's just absolute

(15:05):
you know, there's there's absolute confidence in knowing that you've
battled yourself through some things.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Yeah right, Yeah, that's how it was for me, sitting
in a cold winter hotel in December in saskatchw Regina,
Saskatchwe looking at the window looking at uh what what
j R. Hortons or whatever it was Donut Place Horton's
Tim Hortons, Like, what what the hell am I doing? Yes,

(15:32):
this is one of those moments, man. Yeah, so yeah,
we're gonna hit a break.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
We come back. It's the NFL six pack. Appreciate you
sitting in Dave Tepper there, thanks for saying that.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah, thank you. We're with the UNFO six pack. We
come back Bronkos Country tonight. Thanks to Dave Tepper joining
us in the last segment. What was your big break moment?

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Still waiting on it. You only get what was your
eminem mom spaghetti?

Speaker 5 (15:53):
No, but I do have to give a shout out
to uh Mandy Connell who gave me my first internship
in radio and really made the most of it. I
feel like and hopefully bigger and better things to come.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Let's just say you get Tay You Regret podcast. You're
prominently on this show obviously Kbco doing all the work
over there. You are the definition of the grinder that
that he was just.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
Talking about is just shaking my head agreeing with him, like, yep,
he's telling the truth. And Dave Tepper, you know, giving
me the opportunity to fill in on Bronco's Country Night
when you were out of the combine, because you know,
he could easily went out and got someone else to
do that for the week, but he gave me the
opportunity and I got to, you know, spread my wings
a little bit.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Big things coming. And with that, it's time for the
NFL six pack bags, time for the NFL six pad.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
I'm gonna take a lot of beer.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Insight and insight information you can't find anywhere else, I know,
six the top six NFL headlines. What say if You're worthy?

Speaker 2 (16:47):
He accuses his ex fiance of stealing, among other things,
thirty thousand dollars in cash, among other things. He claims
that he was released from police custody and response to
allegations made by his ex fiancee of Jones earlier this month,
He says thirty thousand dollars in cash was missing from
the game room clause at his home. Also allegedly missing
was a jewelry box with its content, three bracelets, and more.

(17:10):
The complaint filed by Ty Jones claims that a neighbor
witnessed Jones, her USA track team coach Tanya Buford Bailey,
and USA tracked teammate Essca Wright vacuum this Bailey's car.
The claims in the complaint include civil assaults so a battery,
violation of the Texas Theft Liability Act, inversion, and trespass
to chattels.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
How to look that one up. The civil complaint contains
no specific count for extortion.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
However, the lawsuit accuses her of scheming to extort a home, money, cars,
and their valuables from Xavior Worthy by concocting false stories
of domestic violence and leaking the same to the press
to professionally and personally assassinate the planter's character and reputation
in the public eye for a subjective financial windfall. Jones
will have the ability to respond to the complaint and

(17:53):
defend herself against the charges. Sheould also fire counterclaim against
Worthy accusing him of conduct if she chooses it, which
support and go civil liability?

Speaker 1 (18:01):
A lot of he said, She said, going on here,
what do you think, Nick.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
Oh Man, that's a lot. That's too much drama for
anyone to have, let alone a young player like Xavier Worthy.
And you know what, most people are aspired to be
celebrities of any sort. And I can understand the reason
why a lot of fame comes along with it, but
there's drama that can come along with it as well.

(18:28):
You have individuals who are seeking out you to put
you in a tough situation by claiming that you did
something to them that you did not do. So this
is a tough situation and I'm sure it's difficult on
both sides of the family.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
But I'll tell you.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
No matter who you are, celebrity, regular, average Joe, just
be careful who you call your mate or your girlfriend.
That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yeah, make sure partner's a partner and not although your
partners were good.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Definitely.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah, So never mind, I'm really talking to myself, right,
here's what we're all saying. Two, really talking to myself
speaking of it too. Maybe second quarterback, I don't know.
The Jets made Zach Wilson, the number two.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Overall pick in twenty twenty one, the their franchise quarterback.
After three seasons, they shipped into the Broncos.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
In the fifth NFL season, Wilson is with his third team,
having signed with Miami as a free agent. You'll back
up to a Tagery lay in Miami, but he isn't
ready to embrace the journeyman label just yet. Wilson, via
Joe Shadd of the Palm Beach Posts, says, I'd like
to view it differently. Obviously, there's nothing wrong with being
a jerneyman, but I still believe I could be a
starter in this league whenever.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
The opportunity comes. So just trying to put myself in the.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Best situation with the best team and coaches and do
the best I can. You know, hopefully at some point
you get that opportunity to show what you can do.
Wilson did not play last season with the Broncos, serving
instead as bo Nix's back up. Wilson said Denver was
a good opportunity for me to kind of alley the
stresses of being an NFL quarterback and just try to
be perfect every day, spending more time if the guys
in the locker room, growing that pond. I think that

(20:02):
is always important, and just enjoying every single day of
being there. So I think that's always an important aspect
carries out of the field of you just being more comfortable.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Wilson has started thirty three.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Games with the Jets, completed fifty seven percent of his passes,
twenty three touchdowns twenty five interceptions, and said his understanding
of the game is night and day different from his
rookie season, can serve him well. Behind talking about oh
those missed fourteen games in the last four seasons, what
do we think of the Zach Wilson.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Possibly getting a starting shot down there in Miami.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
Well, here's what we know, and I'm sure Zach knew
this before signing with the Miami Dolphins. Tua's gonna get hurt.
We've seen that happen before, right, So he's gonna get
his opportunity. But then for me, I'll look at it
this way. I mean, no one's going to say what
was me for Zach Wilson because he came out of BYU.
You were drafted in the first round, you lived in
New York City, you had a chance to come here

(20:50):
to the Denver Broncos. God had an opportunity to learn
under guy like you know, Sean Payton. Now you go
to Miami and you're backing up Tua on the MCD.
Who I'm gonna tell you, Mike is a smart guy.
I mean I learned that really quickly working with him
in San Francisco. And just think about it, Sam donal,
Where did Sam donag go to San Francisco? Then he

(21:12):
went to Minnesota and that changed his career. Now he's
back with a familiar offense with Clint Kubiak. The same
thing can happen for Zach Wilson. So I'm ruining for
Zag and I hope he gets his opportunity in Miami.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Mike be Daniel, who's quite smart. He did his college
at Yale.

Speaker 5 (21:28):
Yeah, and I mean, what better coach he coaching could
you ask for? When in his last two stops, you know,
and like you said, Tua is gonna get hurt. So
this is the perfect opportunity for him to showcase what
he's learned these past couple of years and be able
to hopefully have that Sam Donald experience.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Sorry, one month ago until Round one of the NFL
Draft and the preference of quarterback Shador Sanders is becoming clear.
Maybe last Wednesday, Dion Sanders serves as the keynote speaker
at pro Bat twenty twenty five in Chicago, and during
the appearance, Dion supposedly expressed hope that Shudeur will be
drafted by quote New York. Not entirely clear who heard

(22:06):
it or who reported it, but it traces back to
a Twitter account belonging to a user named John Sokol
who attended the conference. Claim that Dion and Schaduur are
hoping for New York has been amplified by the usual
online agrobot suspects who operate under the ready fire aim
without confirming it.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
So there's no way to confirm that Dion said it.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
There's no video that he said it, only a claim
from someone who attended the conference and claimed he.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Heard Dion say it. Maybe he did. It's just kind
of odd that went unnoticed for five days.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
Maybe Dion will get asked about it the next time
he meets with reporters. Then we'll get clarification on that
Colorado PRODAE coming up April fourth, byself Nick Ferguson will
both be attending that it will be and then fal
network will be on and Espen twenty four hour sports
network that will never work. Do we believe this? Do
we believe that this guy said this thing? John Sokol

(23:01):
who's on Twitter at John Sokol fourteen. Do we believe
that Dion put that out at at a conference?

Speaker 4 (23:08):
Well, I mean there's a strong possibility. And Dion is
the king of marketing, right he is the marketeer. Sometimes
you have to speak certain things into existence, so this
could be something where Prime is speaking into existence hoping
the Giants make a move, but also pushing other teams

(23:29):
who are in need a quarterback for them to make
a move as well. If it comes to pass that
Shador ends up with the Giants, then once again Dion
strikes again. That's all I can say.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
I saw a mock draft today that had Shador not
in the top ten picks. Is there any realistic way
that that happens that he's not a top ten pick?

Speaker 1 (23:53):
It's possible. I think he's going to go to New
York Giants. They kind of do you know, there's been
some speculation by Cleveland. I think they're going to go
abdul Carter. They might go Travis Hunter, but I think
they're gonna go Abdul Carter put.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Hi opposite Miles Garrett and then possibly signed Russell Wilson
er trade for Kirk Cousins to show up their quarterback things.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
So it'll be interesting New York.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
The Giants had We're out at every CU game and
all that kind of stuff, basically follow him around. Ryan
Davel did not even go to cam Ward's pro day today.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
He didn't. Well, that's something worth noting. Who's to say
that because everyone's talking about sodor falling, of which I
don't think it's a bad thing, and I don't subscribed
to his idea falling. Well, who's to say that the
Giants don't pick two Colorado players Travis Hunter and then
come back in the second row and pick up Sudor Sanders.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Well, I'm not sure he'd be there, but that's you know,
that's certainly an interesting concept for Speaking of cam Wold,
he made a prediction before Miami's pro dae today saying, quote,
I'm solidifying being the number one overall pick today. Said
that via Tim Reynolds the Associated Press, Titans have the
number one overall pick.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
On April twenty four, they sent President.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Of Football Operations Chad Brinker, General Manager, Mike Porganzi, Assistant
GM Dave Ziegler, VP Football Advisor Reggie McKinzie, head coach
Brian Callahan, offensive coordinator Nick Holts, and quarterbacks coach Bo
Hartigree the Tennessee Continent took Ward to dinner Sunday night
ahead of the forty five minute throwing session today. Ward,
of course, did not throw at the combine last month,

(25:22):
so quote.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
They finally got to see me throw in person.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
That should be all they need to see at the
end of the day, if they want to give me
the pick or not, I'm going to be happy with
whatever team I go to.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
I just want to play football.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Ard is currently the betting favorite to be the number
one overall pick quarterback Vinnie Testaverdi defensive lineman Russell Maryland
to the Miami Miami number one overall picks. Prior to this,
Ward chattam with a Titan staff between throws and following
the workout, I said, I'm just excited to see where
I'm going to end up so I can finally learn
for playbook. What do you think about cam Ward possibly

(25:51):
being the number one overall pick to the Tennessee Titans.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
I'm okay with that, and I'm okay with the Titans
going down to take a look at cam Boy kicking
the ties and bringing everyone in the organization. Now, does
that mean that the Titans are you can kind of
rite in and pin that they're going to stay at
number one. That may not necessarily be the Giant because
you go down, you see if he's what you expect

(26:14):
him to be, and if he jumps off the pages.
Now of the teams like a Giants or the Cleveland
Browns might want to move up, So you just use
that as a way to entice them to make a
move that they want to.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah, the Giants were trying to trade up to number
one back to Comma, and they felt like they had
a pretty strong offer, But that seems to have cooled
off of late, so we'll see.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
We'll see what ultimately ends up happening.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
As of right now, if I had to guest today,
I would guess cam Moore goes number.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
One to the Titans. Five.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Real quick note here, Eric Salbert has signed with the
Seattle Seahawks, former Bronco, joining another former Bronco. No offense
in that room, Sobert spent last season with the Niners.
Played all seventeen games, three starts, called eleven passes, ninety
seven yards a touchdown, saw action on three hundred and
seventy seven offensive snaps three hundred special team snaps. The
Falcons made Sobert a fifth round pick back in twenty seventeen.

(27:04):
Spent two seasons Atlanta one in Chicago, wanted Jacksonville too
in Denver, before playing games for Houston Dallas in twenty
three and forty nine ers in twenty four. His career,
Soroberts appeared one hundred and one games, nineteen starts, forty
seven receptions, three hundred and eighty nine yards, three touchdowns,
and a core special teams player with seventeen hundred and
fifty three snaps obviously mentioned. He joins a tight end
room that includes Noah Fan A. J. Barner, Brady Russell.

(27:26):
But we care about X Salbert. I just you know,
I think it's cool. Anytime a former Bronco gets a
new gig, that's always.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
A good thing for me.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
It looks it's familiarity. You spent time in San Francisco,
Clint Kubik was there. He's going out getting guys who's
familiar with the system, a guy who can, I guess,
help me fant understand what Clint Kulbick wants to do offensively.
So I always love it when guys get second opportunities.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Six. Yeah, I agree with you. This is the I
want to get to this one because it's the big
story here.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Former Ravens and Michigan assistant Matt Weiss has pleaded not
guilty to four accounts relating to cyber fraud via Dan
Wessel of ESPN. Weiss was released on ten thousand dollars bond.
Was required to surrender his passport and to allow officials
to play software as computer to monitor his Internet use.
Prosecutors alleged that Weiss's misconduct dates back to twenty fifteen,
where he allegedly accessed personal accounts of thousands of NCAA

(28:20):
student athletes. He allegedly targeted specific female athletes, successing personal
and intimate photos and videos. He allegedly exploited the Keffer
Development Services system that keeps medical data for student athletes
at roughly one hundred schools after he cracked their code
for obtaining and guessing passwords.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Weiss faces up to five years in prison.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
The two hundred and fifty thousand dollars fine on fourteen
different charges, along with two years behind bars on ten
additional charges. Weiss has worked for both of the Harball brothers.
That relationship began with Jim at Stanford in seven. He
then worked for John and the Ravens for nine through
twenty twenty, rejoined Jim at Michigan for twenty twenty one
and twenty twenty two. His story, frankly, is bizarre. What

(29:00):
do you guys think about this? Matt Weiss's story, This is.

Speaker 4 (29:03):
Crazy, just the fact that he was calling through people's
information using photos and images that he didn't have the
license to use, and he was just kind of secretly
like watching people in a weird way. You know, It's
not like someone is sitting, you know, in the rafters

(29:24):
watching you, but someone's watching every single move that you're making,
and they know all the intricate details of certain posts
that you have that are not readily available with the people.
This was kind of when you talk about krans Worthy,
This was definitely krans Worthy for sure.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Basically, he cracked keffers and cryptive password protections, use that
information using open source records to ascertain personal information on athletes,
like their mother's maiden name, pats, places of Earth, things
like that that allowed him to obtain access to social media, email,
and cloud storage accounts of more than two thousand athletes
by guessing or he's setting their passwords. And then once

(30:02):
he got access, he searched for and downloaded personal intimate
photographs that were not publicly shared. He is charged with
obtaining similar access for thirteen hundred students or alumni from
schools across the country.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
What a creep.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
That's wild.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Allegedly, what a creep.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Weiss prosecutors alleged did extensive research, kept detailed notes on
athletes he was targeting, basing it on their school affiliation,
athletic history, of physical characteristics. After viewing photos and video,
he kept notes on whose materials he had seen, including
comments on their bodies and sexual preferences. That's why Ice,
a former punter from Vanderbilt, just absolutely bizarre, bizarre story.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
What is it with the Harbaughs hiring like the weirdest people? Yeah,
the Connors Staali thing, see the Connors Dialet thing. Now
you've got this stuff. What is it with I mean,
like Jim Marvel is a weird dude? But not like
this kind of weird.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
You have to be careful of the wolves hiding his clothing.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
This was uh, I mean, it's just bizarre.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
We'll keep tracks on this on this story as it goes,
But one thing I will tell you guys is change
your passwords and look to see where you're logged into
certain things, because if you're logged in somewhere that you
didn't log in, unlog that account out and change password,
and then change your your question your security questions too.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Don't don't just change past.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Don't make it one two three either.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah, change your security.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Questions because if you don't do that, they can just
go back and reset them.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Broco's country like, you can't work if it's.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
Like a duck and it looks like a duck, It
is quite like a duck. Hell is the belt and
I'm the pig.
