Welcome back to EVE Sports Radio. It is April to
twenty fifth, twenty twenty five. It's Friday, if you did
not know it in the Louisville area, and it's rainy,
so be safe outside. We've got a lot of things
to get to today, but first and foremost, let's get
the business done. Telephone number is five zero two five
(00:21):
seven one seventy nine hundred. That's five zero two five seven,
one seventy and nine hundred. It's Sports Talk seven ninety's KRD.
We have got Shannon the dude behind the glass, and
we're gonna bring on my co host, Anthony.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
How are you you.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Well? And I'm all good.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I sayed up all night last night, so I just
don't know what I'm going to crash and burn. I
stayed up and watched the games. I watched the draft,
I watched the ending of the Grizzlies game. I don't
know what I'm gonna crash, but I'm doing great right now.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
That's all. That's all. But I stayed up. I watched everything.
What about you?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Oh I was?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I think I watched the ending of the first game,
the okayc game. I don't think I may have passed
the first quarter.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
I was.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I was so tired and the golfer wore me out
eighteen holes. I haven't played eighteen holes all year.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I had neither.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I don't think I've only played eighteen holes Anthony in
my entire career. Maybe eight or nine times. I just
don't have the time. But yesterday was perfect, beautiful day.
Going and tell him to scores, Anthony, go on and
tell him get it out of the way.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
It wasn't that bad. It wasn't that bad.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
But on the front nd yes.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
From Frank shot of forty two. I shot a forty six.
Then you shot fifty one.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yep, fifty one. Couldn't put work for dang, Anthony, and
I couldn't put it all.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Gody worry he'll be He'll be at the PGA Superstar
trying on new parties today because the one he has
going in the trash.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's going to the trash, Anthony.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Maybe it should be the person holding the putter that
should go in the trash.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
But we're going to get some early year putt excuses
we're still blaming over exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
That's all. Yes, but I did I put it so
I put it.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
So I had what Anthony had ten foot birdie putt
and ended up three putting. I mean my second putt
was probably eight feet away. I was twelve feet away
in the beginning.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
It was awful.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I just was awful yesterday. But things happened. So anyway,
let's get into what we have first and foremost, I
want people to know that there's a young man that
I know really well. He's helped me with Simmons before
my Simmons players. Willing to milk. He is running and
the city is running a camp at Chicksaw Park, Okay,
(02:54):
and Monday and Wednesday and Tuesday and Thursday free to
the public. And Willi is a great trainer, Anthony. He
can train you for any sport, boxing to basketball, to volleyball.
I've seen Willy do it all. He does a tremendous job.
And I just wanted to make sure it's free. The
(03:15):
city is putting this on, so I want as many
people as possible to make sure that they get out.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
But it's Tuesday and.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Thursday from two pm to four pm, Monday and Wednesday
from two pm to five pm weekly at Chickasaw Park.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
One.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
That's twelve hundred Southwestern Parkway is where it's located.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
But make sure if you're that d's by the Louisville
Parks and Recreation.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
It is free to the public. Make sure that you
get out, get your younger kids out. He does footwork
things for basketball players. Willie can do it all. So
let's make sure that we support that. Now, after that,
let me tell you what, Anthony, one of my favorites.
I used to love to watch the balloons land at
(04:02):
our park here out and hear it's creek and I
would love they would come down and land and take off.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And I was in the tenth eleventh grade, really look
forward to it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
And I see that that has been canceled for tonight,
the balloon race because of the weather, of course, and
we have to be safe with those balloons, so that
has been canceled for tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
So that's a bummer. I just wanted people to know that.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
So that's one aspect that's going on that I didn't
like to hear. We know that Churchill Downs will open
tomorrow night. Saturday night is the first day. I think
it starts at five pm. So make sure you make
it out to Churchill Downs and we'll get into all
the news we've heard about the stopping of the construction
and all the things that are going on with Churchill Downs.
(04:45):
But tomorrow, Anthony, I want everybody to know if they
really want to compete against Jerry Eves, meet me at
the mini marathon.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
That's all. Meet me at Slugger Field. We'll see how
tough you are.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
We'll have a six seeing over mini marathon race. We'll
see who can finish that race. Anthony, I take on
all challengers. Why are you quiet?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
I didn't have anything to say on that park, and
I just knew that ain't gonna be much of a race.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Oh no, now I'm not showing up. That was a lie.
I just wanted to make sure I woke everybody up
this morning. It's not gonna happen. It did happen. And
April Eves beat me. Doctor Brooks beat me when she
was a runner at University of Kentucky, and I was
just still want to be jock, Anthony.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I thought it was tough.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I was an assistant coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers and
we ran in that mini marathon from my sister fundraiser
scholarship name and don Athuita's name at University Louisville. Any
that race almost killed me. I'm telling you that was
the mini. I didn't run the marathon, Anthony. That was
the mini. It almost killed me. And the conditions were
(05:56):
a lot like today, rainy and kind of cool, Anthony.
And it really got cool that day that Saturday morning.
I'm telling you, it was the hardest thing I've ever
trained for and ever done.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I will never I told him when I finished, I'll
never do it again. Never. Any that is very very hard.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
People that run those many marathons and marathons, they're just
a different personality. I'm telling you, they're a different personality.
But that is tomorrow seven am Sluggerfield. We started, Anthony,
I done forgot the year nineteen. I was with the Calves.
That must have been two thousand and one or two
(06:34):
or three, Yes, Anthony. We started a near Iroquois Park
and we went up into the park at the beginning.
Thank god that we went into the park at the beginning, Anthony,
because Iroquois Park, if you've never gone through, it is crazy.
It's beautiful, but it's super hilly, Anthony. But we started
there and then it was all downhill after that.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I don't. I have no idea of the course for tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
But I know if I had to we went to
the park at the end or the middle of the marathon,
it would not have happened.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I would not have finished, Anthony.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Anthony, Honestly, I think I'm still pretty athletic at the time.
I'm forty three, forty four years old. I think I'm
in shape. I've prepared. Women were going buy me up
the hill in Iroquois Park, Anthony. They were legitimately running
by me. I said, this is so bad, so bad.
So anyway, the way, that's what we have going on.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
We haven't heard.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
We still don't have our man George yet, do we, Shannon,
I don't think we do. I think George is a
no show, so we have to wait and see. So anyway,
no Georgiaeah, you know how Georgia is. Agents are talking
to agents. You just never know about that. George Williams,
especially this close to Derby, he has a lot of
his friend's colleagues photographers come in because they're all at
(07:54):
the track together. So George could be busy. But we'll
try to hit George during the break and see what
he's doing.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
But Anthony.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Before we go to break, let's talk a little bit
about what's transpired and all the national news. We're going
to get into the NFL Draft without a doubt, and
congratulations Maxwell Harrison did go to the Buffalo Bills. We're
gonna talk about that. But what's going on with this
NBA and the playoffs?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Anthony?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Yeah, the NBA, we got obviously a lo like of
them all. We got a huge comeback win last night
for the Grizzlies, I mean for the Thunder actually down
by thirty at one point, came back and won one, four, one, eight,
taking a three.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
To zero lead in that series.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
John Maraham did get hurt in the second quarter. I
didn't watch the game, so I got that update from you.
I didn't know he got hurt. But yes, Gridley going
to score thirty one points in the second.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Half without Morant, they had no chance. They were really
playing emotional basketball, Anthony, And okaysee was flat they were,
and Memphis was going to win the game big, they
really were. But when Moran went down and it was
not a dirty plant and it's a two on one
transition fast break and the gentleman is back, We've got
(09:09):
we got George. You mean, so Shannon, did he negotiate
with you? Who is George negotiating with? Who do you
negotiate with?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Not you? George? Ring? You ring? Who? Who? Who are you? Hey?
Speaker 5 (09:27):
J My agent will be calling you lady today.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Hey, George, I thought you know your cronies. You know
your cronies coming for Derby. You have them always on
the back side. You got any of your talking for
friends from all over the newspapers.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
All they are settling as we speak.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
They are assembly that I know they are George speak.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
You know what I mean? You know what I mean. I
always play the win jack. I mean, so I blame
my boys in so I got back up? What do
you guys? You throwing sad? You got and they're gonna
be back at this year. So you know you got
youth on your side. That that that always is an advantage.
That's always a good advantage.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
George, You and I we walked together, George, we walked slow.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
People just walked by. Oh man, there's no question. Well
good to George.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I'm glad to have you because I was just getting
ready to congratulate Maxwell Harriston University of Kentucky. But let's
say that, and he finished the National news, George, we're
gonna go to the We're gonna get into that NFL traft, George.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
So Anthony finished it up for us.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
But then the other two games that did play last night,
the Knicks did defeat the Pistons one eighteen to one
sixteen in Detroit, taking a two to one series. Later
we'll be playing game four and later on this week
in Detroit as well. And then the Clippers did blow
the Nuggets last night one seventeen to eighty three, taking
a two to one lead in that series as well.
We'll be playing Game four out in LA again as
well to see if they can take a three to
one lead in that series.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yes, I mean Nuggets are in trouble. They really are
in trouble. Something is just it's something not well. They
gave their bench up, they have nobody off the bench,
and they're just not good enough. Djoka is the best,
but they're just not good enough. That's all there is
to it. They need some more help. So now, George,
it's our seven seventeen and we're gonna go to break
(11:18):
keep this show on task. When we come back, we
want to talk about this NFL I want you and
Anthony and all our listeners driving in be safe to
think about the Shador Sanders situation. I'm gonna read to
you all a few quotes and comments and get you
all's opinion on what do you think happened? And last
night's draft for shedis Sanders. So this is Esports Radio.
(11:40):
We got Anthony, of course, we got the one and
only George Williams ring you Esports Radio. Be back after
the break. Welcome back to the Sports Radio seven one.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You should be.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Scurrying, not hurrying, but scurrying into work Friday. You still
have work to do. I got the Anthony Eves, I
got the one and only George Williams. George almost started
with you. We're going to get into Maxwell Harriston second.
I want to talk about the Shador Sanders and I
asked Mark Clayton.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
George probably Wednesday, Mark Clayton was on.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I asked him what he thought, and I asked him directly,
did he think the side show would affect Chador Sanders draft?
And he said no, he didn't think it would. He
thought the NFL team should be able to handle it.
But he did say something profound. He says people always
are getting in an uproar about where guys get drafted.
(12:35):
He says, don't forget. In his opinion, Dan Marino was
the best spinner of the ball ever, which means passer.
He went twenty seventh guys twenty seventeens passed, and Dan
Marino did tell them I will see you when my
NFL career starts. Tom Brady, who everyone knows Tom Brady
is the goat guys. When I say I don't like him,
(12:57):
I don't mean that personally. He's just so good. I
didn't like him no other reason. There's nothing he's ever done.
He was one hundred and ninety ninth draft pick, got
me sixth round. Then I said, let me go back
to our era Joe Joe Montana. If you watch water
Boy Joe maintainer again, George, he was an eighty second pick,
(13:18):
So why are we hung up on the position. But
do you think Booger McFarland, George said directly that you
door Sanders should have been a first round pick.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
What is your opinion of that?
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Well, first of all, like I want Boogey he should
be in the first round pick there because I like
I say the thing that I think he did. You
take a young man that went to two different programs
on two different levels. He's programming when he made him
a winner. You know, you look at nobody what Colorado
was doing, and his accuracy is and that's what you
(13:53):
judge a quarterback. How acquacy is, how he can lead
on both teams. He was an outstanding leader, you know
what I mean? And so I just think and he's
and the most important thing, Jay, he's accurate, you know,
I mean, he's never right there.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Tell people you're right, Just just hold on.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Shadors Sanders completion rate seventy four point seven, cam Ward's
completion rate sixty seven point two, Jackson Darts completion rate
sixty nine point three. So you're one hundred percent correct, George.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
He was the most.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Accurate by five percent points of the three quarterbacks, two
of them did get drafted in the first round.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Continue.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I just wanted people to know you're one hundred percent
correct with that. The numbers prove it out.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Yes, Yeah, I don't think he's a runabout. I think
he's a lousis. You know, I just think and I
think he's been playing in a plus set since he's
been a baby, because that's what his dad has always
had him in. So he's already prepared to come to
the NFL. He's already used to the news all the height.
There's nothing new. He gets pro money right now, even
(14:59):
if you don't get you know what I mean. So
I just think those are the things that just separate
him from most of the other players. So he's a
young man that's already NFL ready before he goes. So
I think you're really missing that on a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
But Georgia, you're not the only one there. And I'm
going to read some things. People are on both sides
of this fence, and you're one hundred percent correct.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
He was the.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Most accurate quarterback of the tame drafted. Anthony, what do
you think? Great points, George, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
I mean I thought a similar thing. I thought, is
he a first round caliber talent?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I thought so.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I just thought a lot of coaches wouldn't draft him
just because of the interviews that came out and said
his attitude and kind of how he went about certain
things could affect them, and it does. It's hurt a
lot of other players in the draft to the world
that are kind of not only need to say so
much overconfident. You know, some of them have a little
you know, they have a personality about for themselves. And
I think that's one of the things that might have
(15:55):
knocked him a little bit.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Honestly.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
I think if he would have went to his interviews
a little bit differently, he probably would have been drafted
in the first round because the statistics don't lie. He
is the best quarterback in the draft per numbers, even
though cam Ward. So you can't say there and be like, oh, well,
we don't know he can play NFL style play, or
if he's gonna be good enough. He did it all
a team that wasn't even as good as the other two. Technically,
(16:17):
Miami was better than Colorado. They had better players, they
had better coaches. So I mean, if you put him
in a system where he has even caliber twon, is
cam Ward is good? Is Jackson Dart is good?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
We don't know, right, No, I mean George made a
great point.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
He did Jackson State was very bad when he went
they won games. He goes to Colorado, Colorado was awful.
Everyone expected them to be awful. He improved the program
at a Power five conference. He did people did not
expect that. George was nine percent fine, George, this time,
I'm with you on accurate with his comments. I want
to read to you all some things I asked Mark
(16:55):
Clayton that, but I'm gonna read to you all that.
I'm gonna tell you all some of the things that
annoy me and some of the things that have been said.
And I would have said, and I would have put
my name behind it because I was a NBA coach
and we did make comments on players.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Especially after the draft.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
They would ask us and we would tell them SADAA
Sanders ripped by anonymous coach. I hate junk. I hate
this anonymous junk. Let me tell you all what Butch
Beard taught me a lot John Lucas coach crub. But
one thing Paul Silace taught me when it comes to
handling young men and grown men, everybody has a name.
(17:32):
I want to explain this to you, George, George, you
know this, Paul Silice, all that junk where coaches would
say I'm punishing the whole team be cause of Paul
Sillace said I'm punishing you, and God gave you a name.
That name could be Jerry Eves got me, and he
was going to talk directly to Jerry Eaves. He didn't
believe in that, he said, the Celtics didn't all that.
(17:54):
The team know it's a team setting with five personalities playing.
If one of those five personalities get out of line,
that personality has to be put back in place, so
the team's personality can have an identity.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
So he wasn't into the anonymous stuff. Guys.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
He was not, But let me read to you what
he says and our friends one longtime NFL assistant coach,
which really burns me up. That's even furthermore, he should
say his name because he's established helped the kid.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Don't be frightened.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
The kid is going to figure the kid, which is
what you want. Said his time with Sanders was the
worst formal interview I've ever been in in my life.
So when they continue to say longtime assistant, guys, I
did it seven years, and I would consider myself longtime coach.
Bear was a pro head or assistant coach fifteen years.
(18:48):
That's longtime, got me. Doc Rivers is longtime. Jerry's is
not longtime. So when they say long time, I'm saying
ten to twenty years. In the business. Okay, I've ever
been in his life. He's so entitled. He takes unnecessary sacks.
He never plays on time. He has horrible body language.
(19:08):
Now I have seen the body language. I have seen
him when he did not let his offensive lineman pick
him up after a sack.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I've seen that. I spoke about that. I have.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
He blames teammates. I haven't seen that, but I have
seen the body language. I'm not lying for anybody, but
the biggest thing, he's just not that good. So, George,
I'm gonna throw it back to you. No, let me
read to you his dad's comments. Then I'm gonna throw
it back to you.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
George.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Dion Sanders' response is to shann Shadoah's criticism, this is
silly to us, Dion told USA Today's Sports during an
extensive interview, most of this is laughable. I told him too, Son,
what I've learned in my life is when it doesn't
make sense, it's God. Let me read this to you
(19:59):
all again, son, what I've learned in my life is
when it doesn't make sense, as he in s e,
it's God. Because some of this stuff is so stupid,
it doesn't make sense. As again. Since so, George, I'm
throwing it back to you, and I'm gonna ask you
the question I asked Mark Clayton, and I think it
(20:22):
did damage the young man a little bit. I haven't
sent it to you, but it's posted online. Chador calls
himself legendary. I'm glad Shador has money. You're right, George,
He's made a lot of money, and I'm happy for it,
no question. But he has a room in his home
that he has put legendary everywhere.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
George got me speaking about himself.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Do you think that some of the sides show George
could have detracted NFL teams from drafting this kid.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Well, Jared, now that you've heard it, now.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
That you've heard everything.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Right right now, this is the way I look at that.
If that is going your job is on the line.
My job is to go in there and find a
young man that I think can play. I think he's mature.
I think right now that all of us when we
were twenty one was not the same person we were
we were twenty seven, twenty eight years old. I think
(21:21):
some of the antics that he did he just dow
them because he knows that everybody's looking at him and
he came up and that lifestyle. His dad would do
the same thing. But look look how the man played
when he got in the league. I mean, you know,
and when I listen to all the professionals I listened
to Hall of famers talk about a young man. You know,
(21:43):
in coaching, you know yourself. When the big dogs talk
about you, they know what they looking at. You know,
they know that you're going to be something special. And
everybody that you've heard that that knows din and knows
then's son knows that this young man can play. And
his leadership for found. So when you got a few
flaws and none of us is flawless, so you know,
(22:06):
I think he can correct it. I think he's the leader.
I think he's the leader of men. So when you're
a leader of men, because you don't win championships on
two different at two different programs, on two different levels,
because you you you can't do this and you can't
do that, who wins? Who gets credit for winning? Jerry?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Everybody in the coach, but most of the credit goes
to the quarterback.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Well, then why don't this boy get credit for being
a winner on different levels? Because most people can't do that.
Most people can't say that, you know, you get that
next level. You know what I mean. No, I'm not
saying that. I'm just saying that's why I think makes
some special young man because he does stuff that a
lot of other people have not, have not done, and
(22:50):
can't do.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Mel kiper is talking about it right now, and George,
I take it. He did do it at two different levels.
That is important. Jackson State is a different level than
Colorado and the level they compete.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
That's just now.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
In the old days, George, in the sixties, fifties and sixties,
in the early seventies, know you could get top top
type flight players out of HBCU universities when they could
not go to the white universities.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
But now, George, it's.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Very hard for someone to go to Jackson State and
do what he and Travis Hunter did, go to Cobrado
and do the exact same thing, the exact same thing
at a high So, Anthony, before we wrap up this segment,
second rounds here, we've already gone through. Lamar Jackson was
the last player in the first round. It's not a slap.
He still will have an opportunity. I liked what Nick
(23:40):
Saban said last night during the draft, guys, Nick Saban said,
and Nick knows has known him a long time. He
and Diana I've been doing these commercials, he said for
eight or nine years. He said, he's known your door
for a long time. The young man can play and
is going to play in this league. He said, he's
gonna be things. He's gonna be a star in the NFL.
He says he really does. But he says he wants
to be able to quit saying putting predictions on where
(24:03):
he should go, because he says, I know a lot
of great quarterbacks that were not drafted high that were
the best. And of course we all know Tom Brady
is new who know? Look at the young man and.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Pat? What about party? Though?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
The irrelevant pick and he's out at San Francisco. He
played in the Super Bowl. Guys, just let the young
men get picked. I think all the sides show will
he will be with grown men. The side show will end.
Because football, George, is the most serious sport. I want
people to know that they earn their money. Basketball is
still in money, guys, I did it for a living.
(24:41):
I used to tell players. I used to tell pro players,
you're still in money. Quit complaining. We're all coaches. We
fly on private jets, rich Carlton's food everywhere. You do
nothing to play, you're still in money. But at football, George,
it's real, it's contact. He'll get his chance and he'll
do well. So guys, we got to get to break Anthony.
(25:03):
You got anything you want to throw in before we
go at seven thirty four and we go to our
second break.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Now, I think you will y'all hit it on the head.
But this time I know that I fully agree with
what you all said, and I think he just needs
an opportunity at this point. I think he'll mature and
to mentally grow up once he's in the NFL, and
he'll kind of get out of the little kiddish games
and you know, all the building rooms with legendary.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
And stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
The older guys in the lost room itself, just cut
it out and just play football.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
He'll come around.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
And guys, just know this. I want everybody to understand it.
And they said it best of last night. Nick Sabas said,
most quarterbacks drafted our failures. So just remember that, right well,
quarterbacks our failures. Don't forget it's the hardest position in
the world. Don't forget that, he said, don't.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Get they like they say that. It's probably the most
exact science that is.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Thank you, Thank you guys.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
So anyway, when we come back, we're gonna congratulate Max
Maxwell Harriston for going in the first round for University Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
George, that boy's fast, like I was.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
I think I thought that.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I thought that I'm.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Gonna have to teach him how to pick him up
and put him down a little faster. George, He's got
some speed, but I'm we'll question that when we come
back after the break.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
This is eve Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
We'll talk about it in a minute and Phil Speed
Welcome back to Eves Sports Radio. Guys, it is seven
thirty nine. We got a caller, George. We gotta get on.
Of course he's gonna knock me and he's gonna love you.
But bring on Blanding to the show.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Please, my man, my main man, the guy that knows
it all. Blanded, come on, not my man, good morning,
not my main man. Good d do no good people, Jaed,
you don't know good people, Jah, you don't know good people.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Good morning, mister Eves and George and Channon and Good
morning to you too, Jerry. I'm hoping that you're having
a wonderful morning. And the main reason I wanted to
call in this morning and tell you all that the
only bonafide, definite first rounder I ever know is mister
George Williams.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Thank you, sir, thank you.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
I'm man and Jerry, I'm so thankful that he takes
time out of his busy schedule to come on here
and brighten up the ratings of this show and bring
you out of the basement and put you on the
top where you belong. And I created George's great wisdom
and broadcast journalism as assending this should to the top
of the charts.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Man, he knows something to this guy here, that man,
better words could have been said, Thank you, sir, May
thinks here.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I need a dump truck. I don't need a shovel.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I need a dump truck to start to move some
of this thrown out here. I need a dump truck,
not a shovel.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Your son, Kyle, Franky, Kyle Frank, you got something like
this you can use?
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yeah, just Junkie could come and haul you off, Jerry,
that would be no problem.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I told you this is good. I give. How are
you doing.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I'm great. I just wanted to make a comment. Guys.
You know, maybe you know a lot of the NFL
people last signing on Sanders. You know, I don't know, guys.
I was a little dumbfound his dad. I thought he
would go in the first round somewhere too, based on
a lot of that, of his athleticism and who his
dad was. That all that translates, you know, to and
he's a heck of a ball player. But I don't know, guys,
(28:30):
that legendary stuff. He better chill that down because he
gets in that league and he'll find out real quick
he's not very legendary.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Well well, well, you know, but think about this when
you were twenty one, nineteen and you've got that kind
of money, but you don't think about yourself. It wasn't
making now most millions of dollars and you nineteen twenty one,
and he won't the best players in the country. He's
still in college. He wasn't in the pros when he
was doing this. He was in college, and in college
(28:57):
he was probably wasn't the better players playing. I play well, so.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
But you know, George, I'll tell you what I've learned
in athletics a long time ago. It's it's better to
it's better to be a little bit on the meek
side and be humble and let your play. Dude, you're
talking because that next level, that next level, they got
defensive ends at that next level that can run down
h rundown running back.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Let me just give you all facts. Let me give
you some facts, so I'll let you all go back
to it.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Shu Sanders is twenty three years old at this time,
and he's excellent player, but he is twenty three.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Just want to go ahead, Yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
No, I'm just saying if if he wasn't who he was.
I mean, you think of what some of the other
players got in they house, the money they make it.
I mean, I just think sometime when you at that age,
you kind of immature, and you know Toson is speaking
and you think you i'mbelievable. Nobody can stop you, you
(30:00):
know what I mean. So a lot of people that
I think that, especially ball players think like especially la
Bager defensive man, I know they thinking like that.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Well I'm here, what about saying.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
He checked this out, blending, checked this out, blending, and
George I want you.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Try to think.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Okay, his dad was everything that was advertised he was.
He His dad was flamboyant, he wore all the chains,
he did all the talking, and he was able to
back it up.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Got me. He's a Hall of Famer his dad.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
But I'm thinking, George, his dad should know out of
all the players that came into that league, and he
did play two sports, he knows that he was phenomenal,
that a lot of his friends that were very good
were not successful. So I was kind of lean and
blame it on Dion a little bit because ever knocked
(30:57):
No one's ever knocked Dion's talent and what he can do.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
But George not, guys, he's.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Not that lovely times in the NFL. He I mean,
there were just so many things, so many skills that
kid had. I would have thought that Dion, George would
have told him, we're gonna be good and we're gonna
push this thing. But to have a little humility because
what Nick slave And said last night is a factual truth.
(31:23):
Most quarterbacks in the NFL do not survive four years.
They're in and out, fact period, point blank. And that's
the whole league. But still, when we talk about quarterbacks
and then going so high. You would think that the
NFL would know what they were drafting, but most do not.
They're in and out also, so I would have thought
Dion Sanders would have had the kid hold to humility.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Just a little bit to help him with this.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I think some of the side shows you only reason
his stats, George our first round, you're right landing his
doors Sanders' stats if if we're going on stats our
first round, but he wasn't. There is a reason why
he was not when all teams don't. Forget, the Giants
traded up to get Jackson Dark, so they could have
traded up to have gotten door Standers.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
He's a talent, but they I can't.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
I can't argue that.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
I have to say, yes, I can't argue that at
that but at that level you all you know that,
at that level, you guys, he to me, he's adding
a lot of bulletin board stuff and in the other
team's locker room, and at that level, them guys up
there will knock his block off, but.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
Bad finish up.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
No, No, I'm just I'm just saying, guys, to me,
it's better. I just think you you can't write checks
that you're behind can't cash. And I think I just
don't like the flamboy and and the talking and running
your mouth because at that level there, you know you
may play, you may play Cleveland Browns or some team
it's not very good. But all them guys, all them
(33:02):
guys are top world class athletes, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Defense their pay, they don't what do you think they
don't need?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
They don't need much motivation, And I think he's setting
himself up for failure by running his mouth like that,
and I don't like it. And answer, I'm just saying,
at that level, guys, you know got.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
You because I gotta get the break playing answer to
break here see you? But what do you think?
Speaker 5 (33:26):
I just think Jerry a lot of it. The team
draft for needs, you know what I'm saying. Once he
fell out a couple of categories that the needs wasn't
for a quarterback and the dot need to go get
a quarterback just because you are a quarterback. So I
think that's one of the problems of what they did.
And so you know, look at all the guy Male
(33:46):
Capital's boy, I don't see none of these playing. There
was on Male Capital Boy that was getting drafted. You
know what I'm saying, and so that's what I think.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
That I'm with you, guys. It's we're gonna go to break.
When we come back, I'm gonna throw it to Anthony
a little bit because, guys, we got to talk about
Kentucky is going to move their athletic programmer is going
to solicit the board to take it to an LLC
livited liability corporation.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
And that is the movement. That is the correct move
it is.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
But I'm just gonna ask Anthony about some of the
payments that they have.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Guys. There's one on social media. There's one article.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Saying that Kentucky's got a twenty million.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Dollar basketball budget.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Guys, I've told you all from word say go don't
believe the money. I don't believe the money, George, and
I'm going to prove it to you after the break.
Coming back to EVE Sports Radio, Guys, you should be
at work by now at it's eight o'clock. At seven
point fifty one, Anthony, George, this new LC University of
Kentucky and all schools will be looking at Anthony. I
want to go to though directly. I want to talk
(34:52):
about the amount of money that you sent to me,
I took allegedly, you all take away three point five million,
and Jade and Quincy three point five million. Anthony take
them through allegedly what people are saying Kentucky has spent on.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Their roster this year.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
So in total, the guy says that Kentucky has spent
twenty point six million dollars in the nil money throughout
the all season, signing players from transfer portals all the
way to high school recruits and some of the notable
names that they do have on the boards. Obviously, one
of the big returning starts that's still fifty to fifty
tests and the drafts is to take away. He's projected
at three and a half million dollars. Jayden Quintin' from
Arizona State, who originally signed to Kentucky is at three
(35:33):
and a half million. Jadan Lowe from Pittsburgh that's supposed
to be a lottery pick this next year's at three
million dollars as well. The transfer from Florida is at
two million, Mohammad did Abt from Alabama's at two million,
Brandon Garrison's at one point five, and then they also
have the overseas ad a million, and two others at
a million and a million and a half. So they
(35:54):
have nine people on their roster right now, all making
over a million.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Dollars APEA if George, if that's why I want people
to listen to me, if you believe it's numbers, the
NCAA is gonna give universities twenty million dollar budget. Now, yes,
they can go over that. They can, they can do
actual commercials and make more than that, but they're gonna
give them around twenty to twenty one million. George, I
tell you, these numbers are just crazy. What do you
(36:19):
think now that? Andys, what do you think George? Don't
take away if you can make three five in Kentucky,
I'm going to Kentucky and playing thirty two games.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Get out of here, right.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
I think the numbers are love inflated. I'll say that
first of all. I think the numbers inflated. But I
don't care if the eye inflated. Once you're going over
six figures to go play basketball in college, you don't
have to play thirty five games, you know what I mean,
maybe maybe forty to get that kind of money. Jared,
and you travel every three days. I'm like you, you
(36:53):
would I will be leave college, kick your and screaming.
Unless I knew I was number one, one through five.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
You could.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
You couldn't make me. I mean if they let me,
I work on a page till you talk about mother
being twenty six, twenty seven. Come on, man, yes I would.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Last night. I want people to think last night.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
They're shing the kids right now on his PN running
through the tunnel to go get the hat and meet
the commissioner. Okay, Adam Silver, and they're excited because they're
going to get amount of dollars. George, if you're making
three point five million dollars and you're a Otoka away
or you're a junior, are you ground that's coming to
Louisville as a freshman. I'd never leave college.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Guys. The money can't be great. You wouldn't. There's no
reason to go pro. There's no reason, George.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
So now less you unless you number one through five.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Day, unless you exactly unless you're gonna be top one, two, three, four,
fifth pick and you're gonna get a four year deal
and you're gonna make forty to fifty million. Okay, But
if you can make thirteen million, twelve million in college.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Over a three year period. Who's leaving get away, George.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
That's why I don't believe, well, me neither the crazy
boyd Tennessee. I want more. Before I ever got there
and showed you. Yeah, I thought you should go out there,
and I know why you need your money because I'm
gonna make your number one team. But you shouldn't do
it before you go out there on the field.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
A pay cut.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
When the USC George the taxes, he took a pay cut,
no if ends or buts about it. So, guys, I
just again don't believe these numbers. Now that's yes, they're
being paid, and that's why people are so I would
say they have anger about it because they believe these numbers.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Guys, There's just no way these numbers are accurate.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
There's just no way, no way. Now you're ain't that basis.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
They're gonna have to Endorge.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
When this agreement is passed the House against n double A,
we will know what they're being paid by the schools
and they will have to turn in their taxes. We
will know what they're receiving compensation wise, which it should be.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Listen to me, it should be.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
Are they going to lose their taxes, the status.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Oh, the universities, that'll be a great question. No, the athletes, George,
they're gonna have to pay taxes. They're not taxes.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
Yeah, I know, I know. And no, I'm talking about
the where the schools. Yeah, because they don't like they
you know, I mean they're working for the schools now
where they have taken a lot of.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
The bennies away from universities. The tax exemptions Congress has
taken a lot of way because they were they were
misusing them. But I would say no, they'll keep most
of their taxes and statuses, but the athletes will always
have to pay.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
And someone just should pay. Well, that should pay.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
I mean, you make it that kind of money.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Right now, think of this, Anthony. Someone just sent to
me saying that it's not for this year. It could
still be the wild wild West you all this year,
louisvo is not far behind. Two minutes we got to
bring on, we got to guess. I told you, I
promise you not give you one minute before we close.
But guys, Louis was not far behind, if you believe
the numbers. But we got the one and only Anthony,
(40:11):
only you. He talks to Anthony they're good friends. George, night,

Bye bye.
Welcome back to EVE Sports Radio. It is April to
twenty fifth, twenty twenty five. It's Friday, if you did
not know it in the Louisville area, and it's rainy,
so be safe outside. We've got a lot of things
to get to today, but first and foremost, let's get
the business done. Telephone number is five zero two five
(00:21):
seven one seventy nine hundred. That's five zero two five seven,
one seventy and nine hundred. It's Sports Talk seven ninety's KRD.
We have got Shannon the dude behind the glass, and
we're gonna bring on my co host, Anthony.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
How are you you.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Well? And I'm all good.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I sayed up all night last night, so I just
don't know what I'm going to crash and burn. I
stayed up and watched the games. I watched the draft,
I watched the ending of the Grizzlies game. I don't
know what I'm gonna crash, but I'm doing great right now.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
That's all. That's all. But I stayed up. I watched everything.
What about you?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Oh I was?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I think I watched the ending of the first game,
the okayc game. I don't think I may have passed
the first quarter.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
I was.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I was so tired and the golfer wore me out
eighteen holes. I haven't played eighteen holes all year.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I had neither.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I don't think I've only played eighteen holes Anthony in
my entire career. Maybe eight or nine times. I just
don't have the time. But yesterday was perfect, beautiful day.
Going and tell him to scores, Anthony, go on and
tell him get it out of the way.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
It wasn't that bad. It wasn't that bad.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
But on the front nd yes.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
From Frank shot of forty two. I shot a forty six.
Then you shot fifty one.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yep, fifty one. Couldn't put work for dang, Anthony, and
I couldn't put it all.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Gody worry he'll be He'll be at the PGA Superstar
trying on new parties today because the one he has
going in the trash.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's going to the trash, Anthony.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Maybe it should be the person holding the putter that
should go in the trash.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
But we're going to get some early year putt excuses
we're still blaming over exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
That's all. Yes, but I did I put it so
I put it.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
So I had what Anthony had ten foot birdie putt
and ended up three putting. I mean my second putt
was probably eight feet away. I was twelve feet away
in the beginning.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
It was awful.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I just was awful yesterday. But things happened. So anyway,
let's get into what we have first and foremost, I
want people to know that there's a young man that
I know really well. He's helped me with Simmons before
my Simmons players. Willing to milk. He is running and
the city is running a camp at Chicksaw Park, Okay,
(02:54):
and Monday and Wednesday and Tuesday and Thursday free to
the public. And Willi is a great trainer, Anthony. He
can train you for any sport, boxing to basketball, to volleyball.
I've seen Willy do it all. He does a tremendous job.
And I just wanted to make sure it's free. The
(03:15):
city is putting this on, so I want as many
people as possible to make sure that they get out.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
But it's Tuesday and.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Thursday from two pm to four pm, Monday and Wednesday
from two pm to five pm weekly at Chickasaw Park.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
One.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
That's twelve hundred Southwestern Parkway is where it's located.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
But make sure if you're that d's by the Louisville
Parks and Recreation.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
It is free to the public. Make sure that you
get out, get your younger kids out. He does footwork
things for basketball players. Willie can do it all. So
let's make sure that we support that. Now, after that,
let me tell you what, Anthony, one of my favorites.
I used to love to watch the balloons land at
(04:02):
our park here out and hear it's creek and I
would love they would come down and land and take off.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And I was in the tenth eleventh grade, really look
forward to it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
And I see that that has been canceled for tonight,
the balloon race because of the weather, of course, and
we have to be safe with those balloons, so that
has been canceled for tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
So that's a bummer. I just wanted people to know that.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
So that's one aspect that's going on that I didn't
like to hear. We know that Churchill Downs will open
tomorrow night. Saturday night is the first day. I think
it starts at five pm. So make sure you make
it out to Churchill Downs and we'll get into all
the news we've heard about the stopping of the construction
and all the things that are going on with Churchill Downs.
(04:45):
But tomorrow, Anthony, I want everybody to know if they
really want to compete against Jerry Eves, meet me at
the mini marathon.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
That's all. Meet me at Slugger Field. We'll see how
tough you are.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
We'll have a six seeing over mini marathon race. We'll
see who can finish that race. Anthony, I take on
all challengers. Why are you quiet?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
I didn't have anything to say on that park, and
I just knew that ain't gonna be much of a race.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Oh no, now I'm not showing up. That was a lie.
I just wanted to make sure I woke everybody up
this morning. It's not gonna happen. It did happen. And
April Eves beat me. Doctor Brooks beat me when she
was a runner at University of Kentucky, and I was
just still want to be jock, Anthony.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I thought it was tough.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I was an assistant coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers and
we ran in that mini marathon from my sister fundraiser
scholarship name and don Athuita's name at University Louisville. Any
that race almost killed me. I'm telling you that was
the mini. I didn't run the marathon, Anthony. That was
the mini. It almost killed me. And the conditions were
(05:56):
a lot like today, rainy and kind of cool, Anthony.
And it really got cool that day that Saturday morning.
I'm telling you, it was the hardest thing I've ever
trained for and ever done.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I will never I told him when I finished, I'll
never do it again. Never. Any that is very very hard.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
People that run those many marathons and marathons, they're just
a different personality. I'm telling you, they're a different personality.
But that is tomorrow seven am Sluggerfield. We started, Anthony,
I done forgot the year nineteen. I was with the Calves.
That must have been two thousand and one or two
(06:34):
or three, Yes, Anthony. We started a near Iroquois Park
and we went up into the park at the beginning.
Thank god that we went into the park at the beginning, Anthony,
because Iroquois Park, if you've never gone through, it is crazy.
It's beautiful, but it's super hilly, Anthony. But we started
there and then it was all downhill after that.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I don't. I have no idea of the course for tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
But I know if I had to we went to
the park at the end or the middle of the marathon,
it would not have happened.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I would not have finished, Anthony.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Anthony, Honestly, I think I'm still pretty athletic at the time.
I'm forty three, forty four years old. I think I'm
in shape. I've prepared. Women were going buy me up
the hill in Iroquois Park, Anthony. They were legitimately running
by me. I said, this is so bad, so bad.
So anyway, the way, that's what we have going on.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
We haven't heard.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
We still don't have our man George yet, do we, Shannon,
I don't think we do. I think George is a
no show, so we have to wait and see. So anyway,
no Georgiaeah, you know how Georgia is. Agents are talking
to agents. You just never know about that. George Williams,
especially this close to Derby, he has a lot of
his friend's colleagues photographers come in because they're all at
(07:54):
the track together. So George could be busy. But we'll
try to hit George during the break and see what
he's doing.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
But Anthony.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Before we go to break, let's talk a little bit
about what's transpired and all the national news. We're going
to get into the NFL Draft without a doubt, and
congratulations Maxwell Harrison did go to the Buffalo Bills. We're
gonna talk about that. But what's going on with this
NBA and the playoffs?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Anthony?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Yeah, the NBA, we got obviously a lo like of
them all. We got a huge comeback win last night
for the Grizzlies, I mean for the Thunder actually down
by thirty at one point, came back and won one, four, one, eight,
taking a three.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
To zero lead in that series.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
John Maraham did get hurt in the second quarter. I
didn't watch the game, so I got that update from you.
I didn't know he got hurt. But yes, Gridley going
to score thirty one points in the second.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Half without Morant, they had no chance. They were really
playing emotional basketball, Anthony, And okaysee was flat they were,
and Memphis was going to win the game big, they
really were. But when Moran went down and it was
not a dirty plant and it's a two on one
transition fast break and the gentleman is back, We've got
(09:09):
we got George. You mean, so Shannon, did he negotiate
with you? Who is George negotiating with? Who do you
negotiate with?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Not you? George? Ring? You ring? Who? Who? Who are you? Hey?
Speaker 5 (09:27):
J My agent will be calling you lady today.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Hey, George, I thought you know your cronies. You know
your cronies coming for Derby. You have them always on
the back side. You got any of your talking for
friends from all over the newspapers.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
All they are settling as we speak.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
They are assembly that I know they are George speak.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
You know what I mean? You know what I mean. I
always play the win jack. I mean, so I blame
my boys in so I got back up? What do
you guys? You throwing sad? You got and they're gonna
be back at this year. So you know you got
youth on your side. That that that always is an advantage.
That's always a good advantage.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
George, You and I we walked together, George, we walked slow.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
People just walked by. Oh man, there's no question. Well
good to George.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I'm glad to have you because I was just getting
ready to congratulate Maxwell Harriston University of Kentucky. But let's
say that, and he finished the National news, George, we're
gonna go to the We're gonna get into that NFL traft, George.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
So Anthony finished it up for us.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
But then the other two games that did play last night,
the Knicks did defeat the Pistons one eighteen to one
sixteen in Detroit, taking a two to one series. Later
we'll be playing game four and later on this week
in Detroit as well. And then the Clippers did blow
the Nuggets last night one seventeen to eighty three, taking
a two to one lead in that series as well.
We'll be playing Game four out in LA again as
well to see if they can take a three to
one lead in that series.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yes, I mean Nuggets are in trouble. They really are
in trouble. Something is just it's something not well. They
gave their bench up, they have nobody off the bench,
and they're just not good enough. Djoka is the best,
but they're just not good enough. That's all there is
to it. They need some more help. So now, George,
it's our seven seventeen and we're gonna go to break
(11:18):
keep this show on task. When we come back, we
want to talk about this NFL I want you and
Anthony and all our listeners driving in be safe to
think about the Shador Sanders situation. I'm gonna read to
you all a few quotes and comments and get you
all's opinion on what do you think happened? And last
night's draft for shedis Sanders. So this is Esports Radio.
(11:40):
We got Anthony, of course, we got the one and
only George Williams ring you Esports Radio. Be back after
the break. Welcome back to the Sports Radio seven one.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You should be.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Scurrying, not hurrying, but scurrying into work Friday. You still
have work to do. I got the Anthony Eves, I
got the one and only George Williams. George almost started
with you. We're going to get into Maxwell Harriston second.
I want to talk about the Shador Sanders and I
asked Mark Clayton.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
George probably Wednesday, Mark Clayton was on.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I asked him what he thought, and I asked him directly,
did he think the side show would affect Chador Sanders draft?
And he said no, he didn't think it would. He
thought the NFL team should be able to handle it.
But he did say something profound. He says people always
are getting in an uproar about where guys get drafted.
(12:35):
He says, don't forget. In his opinion, Dan Marino was
the best spinner of the ball ever, which means passer.
He went twenty seventh guys twenty seventeens passed, and Dan
Marino did tell them I will see you when my
NFL career starts. Tom Brady, who everyone knows Tom Brady
is the goat guys. When I say I don't like him,
(12:57):
I don't mean that personally. He's just so good. I
didn't like him no other reason. There's nothing he's ever done.
He was one hundred and ninety ninth draft pick, got
me sixth round. Then I said, let me go back
to our era Joe Joe Montana. If you watch water
Boy Joe maintainer again, George, he was an eighty second pick,
(13:18):
So why are we hung up on the position. But
do you think Booger McFarland, George said directly that you
door Sanders should have been a first round pick.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
What is your opinion of that?
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Well, first of all, like I want Boogey he should
be in the first round pick there because I like
I say the thing that I think he did. You
take a young man that went to two different programs
on two different levels. He's programming when he made him
a winner. You know, you look at nobody what Colorado
was doing, and his accuracy is and that's what you
(13:53):
judge a quarterback. How acquacy is, how he can lead
on both teams. He was an outstanding leader, you know
what I mean? And so I just think and he's
and the most important thing, Jay, he's accurate, you know,
I mean, he's never right there.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Tell people you're right, Just just hold on.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Shadors Sanders completion rate seventy four point seven, cam Ward's
completion rate sixty seven point two, Jackson Darts completion rate
sixty nine point three. So you're one hundred percent correct, George.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
He was the most.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Accurate by five percent points of the three quarterbacks, two
of them did get drafted in the first round.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Continue.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I just wanted people to know you're one hundred percent
correct with that. The numbers prove it out.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Yes, Yeah, I don't think he's a runabout. I think
he's a lousis. You know, I just think and I
think he's been playing in a plus set since he's
been a baby, because that's what his dad has always
had him in. So he's already prepared to come to
the NFL. He's already used to the news all the height.
There's nothing new. He gets pro money right now, even
(14:59):
if you don't get you know what I mean. So
I just think those are the things that just separate
him from most of the other players. So he's a
young man that's already NFL ready before he goes. So
I think you're really missing that on a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
But Georgia, you're not the only one there. And I'm
going to read some things. People are on both sides
of this fence, and you're one hundred percent correct.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
He was the.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Most accurate quarterback of the tame drafted. Anthony, what do
you think? Great points, George, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
I mean I thought a similar thing. I thought, is
he a first round caliber talent?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I thought so.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I just thought a lot of coaches wouldn't draft him
just because of the interviews that came out and said
his attitude and kind of how he went about certain
things could affect them, and it does. It's hurt a
lot of other players in the draft to the world
that are kind of not only need to say so
much overconfident. You know, some of them have a little
you know, they have a personality about for themselves. And
I think that's one of the things that might have
(15:55):
knocked him a little bit.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Honestly.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
I think if he would have went to his interviews
a little bit differently, he probably would have been drafted
in the first round because the statistics don't lie. He
is the best quarterback in the draft per numbers, even
though cam Ward. So you can't say there and be like, oh, well,
we don't know he can play NFL style play, or
if he's gonna be good enough. He did it all
a team that wasn't even as good as the other two. Technically,
(16:17):
Miami was better than Colorado. They had better players, they
had better coaches. So I mean, if you put him
in a system where he has even caliber twon, is
cam Ward is good? Is Jackson Dart is good?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
We don't know, right, No, I mean George made a
great point.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
He did Jackson State was very bad when he went
they won games. He goes to Colorado, Colorado was awful.
Everyone expected them to be awful. He improved the program
at a Power five conference. He did people did not
expect that. George was nine percent fine, George, this time,
I'm with you on accurate with his comments. I want
to read to you all some things I asked Mark
(16:55):
Clayton that, but I'm gonna read to you all that.
I'm gonna tell you all some of the things that
annoy me and some of the things that have been said.
And I would have said, and I would have put
my name behind it because I was a NBA coach
and we did make comments on players.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Especially after the draft.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
They would ask us and we would tell them SADAA
Sanders ripped by anonymous coach. I hate junk. I hate
this anonymous junk. Let me tell you all what Butch
Beard taught me a lot John Lucas coach crub. But
one thing Paul Silace taught me when it comes to
handling young men and grown men, everybody has a name.
(17:32):
I want to explain this to you, George, George, you
know this, Paul Silice, all that junk where coaches would
say I'm punishing the whole team be cause of Paul
Sillace said I'm punishing you, and God gave you a name.
That name could be Jerry Eves got me, and he
was going to talk directly to Jerry Eaves. He didn't
believe in that, he said, the Celtics didn't all that.
(17:54):
The team know it's a team setting with five personalities playing.
If one of those five personalities get out of line,
that personality has to be put back in place, so
the team's personality can have an identity.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
So he wasn't into the anonymous stuff. Guys.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
He was not, But let me read to you what
he says and our friends one longtime NFL assistant coach,
which really burns me up. That's even furthermore, he should
say his name because he's established helped the kid.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Don't be frightened.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
The kid is going to figure the kid, which is
what you want. Said his time with Sanders was the
worst formal interview I've ever been in in my life.
So when they continue to say longtime assistant, guys, I
did it seven years, and I would consider myself longtime coach.
Bear was a pro head or assistant coach fifteen years.
(18:48):
That's longtime, got me. Doc Rivers is longtime. Jerry's is
not longtime. So when they say long time, I'm saying
ten to twenty years. In the business. Okay, I've ever
been in his life. He's so entitled. He takes unnecessary sacks.
He never plays on time. He has horrible body language.
(19:08):
Now I have seen the body language. I have seen
him when he did not let his offensive lineman pick
him up after a sack.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I've seen that. I spoke about that. I have.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
He blames teammates. I haven't seen that, but I have
seen the body language. I'm not lying for anybody, but
the biggest thing, he's just not that good. So, George,
I'm gonna throw it back to you. No, let me
read to you his dad's comments. Then I'm gonna throw
it back to you.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
George.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Dion Sanders' response is to shann Shadoah's criticism, this is
silly to us, Dion told USA Today's Sports during an
extensive interview, most of this is laughable. I told him too, Son,
what I've learned in my life is when it doesn't
make sense, it's God. Let me read this to you
(19:59):
all again, son, what I've learned in my life is
when it doesn't make sense, as he in s e,
it's God. Because some of this stuff is so stupid,
it doesn't make sense. As again. Since so, George, I'm
throwing it back to you, and I'm gonna ask you
the question I asked Mark Clayton, and I think it
(20:22):
did damage the young man a little bit. I haven't
sent it to you, but it's posted online. Chador calls
himself legendary. I'm glad Shador has money. You're right, George,
He's made a lot of money, and I'm happy for it,
no question. But he has a room in his home
that he has put legendary everywhere.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
George got me speaking about himself.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Do you think that some of the sides show George
could have detracted NFL teams from drafting this kid.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Well, Jared, now that you've heard it, now.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
That you've heard everything.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Right right now, this is the way I look at that.
If that is going your job is on the line.
My job is to go in there and find a
young man that I think can play. I think he's mature.
I think right now that all of us when we
were twenty one was not the same person we were
we were twenty seven, twenty eight years old. I think
(21:21):
some of the antics that he did he just dow
them because he knows that everybody's looking at him and
he came up and that lifestyle. His dad would do
the same thing. But look look how the man played
when he got in the league. I mean, you know,
and when I listen to all the professionals I listened
to Hall of famers talk about a young man. You know,
(21:43):
in coaching, you know yourself. When the big dogs talk
about you, they know what they looking at. You know,
they know that you're going to be something special. And
everybody that you've heard that that knows din and knows
then's son knows that this young man can play. And
his leadership for found. So when you got a few
flaws and none of us is flawless, so you know,
(22:06):
I think he can correct it. I think he's the leader.
I think he's the leader of men. So when you're
a leader of men, because you don't win championships on
two different at two different programs, on two different levels,
because you you you can't do this and you can't
do that, who wins? Who gets credit for winning? Jerry?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Everybody in the coach, but most of the credit goes
to the quarterback.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Well, then why don't this boy get credit for being
a winner on different levels? Because most people can't do that.
Most people can't say that, you know, you get that
next level. You know what I mean. No, I'm not
saying that. I'm just saying that's why I think makes
some special young man because he does stuff that a
lot of other people have not, have not done, and
(22:50):
can't do.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Mel kiper is talking about it right now, and George,
I take it. He did do it at two different levels.
That is important. Jackson State is a different level than
Colorado and the level they compete.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
That's just now.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
In the old days, George, in the sixties, fifties and sixties,
in the early seventies, know you could get top top
type flight players out of HBCU universities when they could
not go to the white universities.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
But now, George, it's.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Very hard for someone to go to Jackson State and
do what he and Travis Hunter did, go to Cobrado
and do the exact same thing, the exact same thing
at a high So, Anthony, before we wrap up this segment,
second rounds here, we've already gone through. Lamar Jackson was
the last player in the first round. It's not a slap.
He still will have an opportunity. I liked what Nick
(23:40):
Saban said last night during the draft, guys, Nick Saban said,
and Nick knows has known him a long time. He
and Diana I've been doing these commercials, he said for
eight or nine years. He said, he's known your door
for a long time. The young man can play and
is going to play in this league. He said, he's
gonna be things. He's gonna be a star in the NFL.
He says he really does. But he says he wants
to be able to quit saying putting predictions on where
(24:03):
he should go, because he says, I know a lot
of great quarterbacks that were not drafted high that were
the best. And of course we all know Tom Brady
is new who know? Look at the young man and.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Pat? What about party? Though?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
The irrelevant pick and he's out at San Francisco. He
played in the Super Bowl. Guys, just let the young
men get picked. I think all the sides show will
he will be with grown men. The side show will end.
Because football, George, is the most serious sport. I want
people to know that they earn their money. Basketball is
still in money, guys, I did it for a living.
(24:41):
I used to tell players. I used to tell pro players,
you're still in money. Quit complaining. We're all coaches. We
fly on private jets, rich Carlton's food everywhere. You do
nothing to play, you're still in money. But at football, George,
it's real, it's contact. He'll get his chance and he'll
do well. So guys, we got to get to break Anthony.
(25:03):
You got anything you want to throw in before we
go at seven thirty four and we go to our
second break.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Now, I think you will y'all hit it on the head.
But this time I know that I fully agree with
what you all said, and I think he just needs
an opportunity at this point. I think he'll mature and
to mentally grow up once he's in the NFL, and
he'll kind of get out of the little kiddish games
and you know, all the building rooms with legendary.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
And stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
The older guys in the lost room itself, just cut
it out and just play football.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
He'll come around.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
And guys, just know this. I want everybody to understand it.
And they said it best of last night. Nick Sabas said,
most quarterbacks drafted our failures. So just remember that, right well,
quarterbacks our failures. Don't forget it's the hardest position in
the world. Don't forget that, he said, don't.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Get they like they say that. It's probably the most
exact science that is.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Thank you, Thank you guys.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
So anyway, when we come back, we're gonna congratulate Max
Maxwell Harriston for going in the first round for University Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
George, that boy's fast, like I was.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
I think I thought that.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I thought that I'm.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Gonna have to teach him how to pick him up
and put him down a little faster. George, He's got
some speed, but I'm we'll question that when we come
back after the break.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
This is eve Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
We'll talk about it in a minute and Phil Speed
Welcome back to Eves Sports Radio. Guys, it is seven
thirty nine. We got a caller, George. We gotta get on.
Of course he's gonna knock me and he's gonna love you.
But bring on Blanding to the show.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Please, my man, my main man, the guy that knows
it all. Blanded, come on, not my man, good morning,
not my main man. Good d do no good people, Jaed,
you don't know good people, Jah, you don't know good people.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Good morning, mister Eves and George and Channon and Good
morning to you too, Jerry. I'm hoping that you're having
a wonderful morning. And the main reason I wanted to
call in this morning and tell you all that the
only bonafide, definite first rounder I ever know is mister
George Williams.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Thank you, sir, thank you.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
I'm man and Jerry, I'm so thankful that he takes
time out of his busy schedule to come on here
and brighten up the ratings of this show and bring
you out of the basement and put you on the
top where you belong. And I created George's great wisdom
and broadcast journalism as assending this should to the top
of the charts.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Man, he knows something to this guy here, that man,
better words could have been said, Thank you, sir, May
thinks here.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I need a dump truck. I don't need a shovel.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I need a dump truck to start to move some
of this thrown out here. I need a dump truck,
not a shovel.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Your son, Kyle, Franky, Kyle Frank, you got something like
this you can use?
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yeah, just Junkie could come and haul you off, Jerry,
that would be no problem.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I told you this is good. I give. How are
you doing.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I'm great. I just wanted to make a comment. Guys.
You know, maybe you know a lot of the NFL
people last signing on Sanders. You know, I don't know, guys.
I was a little dumbfound his dad. I thought he
would go in the first round somewhere too, based on
a lot of that, of his athleticism and who his
dad was. That all that translates, you know, to and
he's a heck of a ball player. But I don't know, guys,
(28:30):
that legendary stuff. He better chill that down because he
gets in that league and he'll find out real quick
he's not very legendary.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Well well, well, you know, but think about this when
you were twenty one, nineteen and you've got that kind
of money, but you don't think about yourself. It wasn't
making now most millions of dollars and you nineteen twenty one,
and he won't the best players in the country. He's
still in college. He wasn't in the pros when he
was doing this. He was in college, and in college
(28:57):
he was probably wasn't the better players playing. I play well, so.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
But you know, George, I'll tell you what I've learned
in athletics a long time ago. It's it's better to
it's better to be a little bit on the meek
side and be humble and let your play. Dude, you're
talking because that next level, that next level, they got
defensive ends at that next level that can run down
h rundown running back.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Let me just give you all facts. Let me give
you some facts, so I'll let you all go back
to it.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Shu Sanders is twenty three years old at this time,
and he's excellent player, but he is twenty three.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Just want to go ahead, Yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
No, I'm just saying if if he wasn't who he was.
I mean, you think of what some of the other
players got in they house, the money they make it.
I mean, I just think sometime when you at that age,
you kind of immature, and you know Toson is speaking
and you think you i'mbelievable. Nobody can stop you, you
(30:00):
know what I mean. So a lot of people that
I think that, especially ball players think like especially la
Bager defensive man, I know they thinking like that.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Well I'm here, what about saying.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
He checked this out, blending, checked this out, blending, and
George I want you.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Try to think.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Okay, his dad was everything that was advertised he was.
He His dad was flamboyant, he wore all the chains,
he did all the talking, and he was able to
back it up.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Got me. He's a Hall of Famer his dad.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
But I'm thinking, George, his dad should know out of
all the players that came into that league, and he
did play two sports, he knows that he was phenomenal,
that a lot of his friends that were very good
were not successful. So I was kind of lean and
blame it on Dion a little bit because ever knocked
(30:57):
No one's ever knocked Dion's talent and what he can do.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
But George not, guys, he's.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Not that lovely times in the NFL. He I mean,
there were just so many things, so many skills that
kid had. I would have thought that Dion, George would
have told him, we're gonna be good and we're gonna
push this thing. But to have a little humility because
what Nick slave And said last night is a factual truth.
(31:23):
Most quarterbacks in the NFL do not survive four years.
They're in and out, fact period, point blank. And that's
the whole league. But still, when we talk about quarterbacks
and then going so high. You would think that the
NFL would know what they were drafting, but most do not.
They're in and out also, so I would have thought
Dion Sanders would have had the kid hold to humility.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Just a little bit to help him with this.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I think some of the side shows you only reason
his stats, George our first round, you're right landing his
doors Sanders' stats if if we're going on stats our
first round, but he wasn't. There is a reason why
he was not when all teams don't. Forget, the Giants
traded up to get Jackson Dark, so they could have
traded up to have gotten door Standers.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
He's a talent, but they I can't.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
I can't argue that.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
I have to say, yes, I can't argue that at
that but at that level you all you know that,
at that level, you guys, he to me, he's adding
a lot of bulletin board stuff and in the other
team's locker room, and at that level, them guys up
there will knock his block off, but.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
Bad finish up.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
No, No, I'm just I'm just saying, guys, to me,
it's better. I just think you you can't write checks
that you're behind can't cash. And I think I just
don't like the flamboy and and the talking and running
your mouth because at that level there, you know you
may play, you may play Cleveland Browns or some team
it's not very good. But all them guys, all them
(33:02):
guys are top world class athletes, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Defense their pay, they don't what do you think they
don't need?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
They don't need much motivation, And I think he's setting
himself up for failure by running his mouth like that,
and I don't like it. And answer, I'm just saying,
at that level, guys, you know got.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
You because I gotta get the break playing answer to
break here see you? But what do you think?
Speaker 5 (33:26):
I just think Jerry a lot of it. The team
draft for needs, you know what I'm saying. Once he
fell out a couple of categories that the needs wasn't
for a quarterback and the dot need to go get
a quarterback just because you are a quarterback. So I
think that's one of the problems of what they did.
And so you know, look at all the guy Male
(33:46):
Capital's boy, I don't see none of these playing. There
was on Male Capital Boy that was getting drafted. You
know what I'm saying, and so that's what I think.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
That I'm with you, guys. It's we're gonna go to break.
When we come back, I'm gonna throw it to Anthony
a little bit because, guys, we got to talk about
Kentucky is going to move their athletic programmer is going
to solicit the board to take it to an LLC
livited liability corporation.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
And that is the movement. That is the correct move
it is.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
But I'm just gonna ask Anthony about some of the
payments that they have.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Guys. There's one on social media. There's one article.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Saying that Kentucky's got a twenty million.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Dollar basketball budget.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Guys, I've told you all from word say go don't
believe the money. I don't believe the money, George, and
I'm going to prove it to you after the break.
Coming back to EVE Sports Radio, Guys, you should be
at work by now at it's eight o'clock. At seven
point fifty one, Anthony, George, this new LC University of
Kentucky and all schools will be looking at Anthony. I
want to go to though directly. I want to talk
(34:52):
about the amount of money that you sent to me,
I took allegedly, you all take away three point five million,
and Jade and Quincy three point five million. Anthony take
them through allegedly what people are saying Kentucky has spent on.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Their roster this year.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
So in total, the guy says that Kentucky has spent
twenty point six million dollars in the nil money throughout
the all season, signing players from transfer portals all the
way to high school recruits and some of the notable
names that they do have on the boards. Obviously, one
of the big returning starts that's still fifty to fifty
tests and the drafts is to take away. He's projected
at three and a half million dollars. Jayden Quintin' from
Arizona State, who originally signed to Kentucky is at three
(35:33):
and a half million. Jadan Lowe from Pittsburgh that's supposed
to be a lottery pick this next year's at three
million dollars as well. The transfer from Florida is at
two million, Mohammad did Abt from Alabama's at two million,
Brandon Garrison's at one point five, and then they also
have the overseas ad a million, and two others at
a million and a million and a half. So they
(35:54):
have nine people on their roster right now, all making
over a million.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Dollars APEA if George, if that's why I want people
to listen to me, if you believe it's numbers, the
NCAA is gonna give universities twenty million dollar budget. Now, yes,
they can go over that. They can, they can do
actual commercials and make more than that, but they're gonna
give them around twenty to twenty one million. George, I
tell you, these numbers are just crazy. What do you
(36:19):
think now that? Andys, what do you think George? Don't
take away if you can make three five in Kentucky,
I'm going to Kentucky and playing thirty two games.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Get out of here, right.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
I think the numbers are love inflated. I'll say that
first of all. I think the numbers inflated. But I
don't care if the eye inflated. Once you're going over
six figures to go play basketball in college, you don't
have to play thirty five games, you know what I mean,
maybe maybe forty to get that kind of money. Jared,
and you travel every three days. I'm like you, you
(36:53):
would I will be leave college, kick your and screaming.
Unless I knew I was number one, one through five.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
You could.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
You couldn't make me. I mean if they let me,
I work on a page till you talk about mother
being twenty six, twenty seven. Come on, man, yes I would.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Last night. I want people to think last night.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
They're shing the kids right now on his PN running
through the tunnel to go get the hat and meet
the commissioner. Okay, Adam Silver, and they're excited because they're
going to get amount of dollars. George, if you're making
three point five million dollars and you're a Otoka away
or you're a junior, are you ground that's coming to
Louisville as a freshman. I'd never leave college.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Guys. The money can't be great. You wouldn't. There's no
reason to go pro. There's no reason, George.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
So now less you unless you number one through five.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Day, unless you exactly unless you're gonna be top one, two, three, four,
fifth pick and you're gonna get a four year deal
and you're gonna make forty to fifty million. Okay, But
if you can make thirteen million, twelve million in college.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Over a three year period. Who's leaving get away, George.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
That's why I don't believe, well, me neither the crazy
boyd Tennessee. I want more. Before I ever got there
and showed you. Yeah, I thought you should go out there,
and I know why you need your money because I'm
gonna make your number one team. But you shouldn't do
it before you go out there on the field.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
A pay cut.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
When the USC George the taxes, he took a pay cut,
no if ends or buts about it. So, guys, I
just again don't believe these numbers. Now that's yes, they're
being paid, and that's why people are so I would
say they have anger about it because they believe these numbers.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Guys, There's just no way these numbers are accurate.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
There's just no way, no way. Now you're ain't that basis.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
They're gonna have to Endorge.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
When this agreement is passed the House against n double A,
we will know what they're being paid by the schools
and they will have to turn in their taxes. We
will know what they're receiving compensation wise, which it should be.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Listen to me, it should be.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
Are they going to lose their taxes, the status.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Oh, the universities, that'll be a great question. No, the athletes, George,
they're gonna have to pay taxes. They're not taxes.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
Yeah, I know, I know. And no, I'm talking about
the where the schools. Yeah, because they don't like they
you know, I mean they're working for the schools now
where they have taken a lot of.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
The bennies away from universities. The tax exemptions Congress has
taken a lot of way because they were they were
misusing them. But I would say no, they'll keep most
of their taxes and statuses, but the athletes will always
have to pay.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
And someone just should pay. Well, that should pay.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
I mean, you make it that kind of money.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Right now, think of this, Anthony. Someone just sent to
me saying that it's not for this year. It could
still be the wild wild West you all this year,
louisvo is not far behind. Two minutes we got to
bring on, we got to guess. I told you, I
promise you not give you one minute before we close.
But guys, Louis was not far behind, if you believe
the numbers. But we got the one and only Anthony,
(40:11):
only you. He talks to Anthony they're good friends. George, night,
you and I Ac welcome to the show.
