Speaker 1 (04:12):
What's going on with that? I didn't do.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
We did not text each other before the show, and
we didn't say anything about wearing certain things.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
I guarantee that, No, I didn't know you were gonna
wear that rudy. But I guess great mindstick alike.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, great minds tend to think a light that, that
is for sure.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Man, Hey man.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
You know, normally I played like a funny clip or
something now when we start the show, but I didn't
really do that this time. The thing that I wanted
to talk to you about was last night we saw
the Nico, the Nico Harrison deal fall apart. Obviously, Luca
to the Lakers, Bron and the Lakers wasn't Shannon Sharp's thing.

(04:56):
You know, Lakers in five, they actually lost in five,
but you know, three straight games, Gill, back to back games.
Bron haad zero points in the fourth. He didn't score
his first points in the fourth until I believe with
like three minutes and thirty seconds left in the fourth quarter.
I don't know, if it's old age. I don't want

(05:19):
to be in a hole to Lebron. I mean, but
I don't know if it's old age. The whole Luca,
the whole Luca thing. You've got to not necessarily apologize
to Nico, but you can understand why, in a small
sense the deal was made. I mean, Luca is like
a cone out there, a traffic cone on defense, and

(05:42):
defense wins championship. According to with a lot of people say, man,
I mean, is there any type of apology for Nico
in some sort of way?

Speaker 1 (05:49):
O Rudy.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
According to Nico, he didn't know how important Luka was
so to the city of Dallas. Dude, how about you
just walk around anywhere in dall I'm pretty sure you'll
see a look of jersey. I mean, it's just bound
to happen, so for him to say that. But anyway,
ready back to that game, which I did catch most
of that game. You know, really they just ran out

(06:12):
of gas. Also, really they didn't basically don't have no
one coming off the bench, Like all five starters are
playing some pretty heavy minutes and Lebron's getting up there
in age, Lebron, can I carry a team it's just
not in the point of his career. I thought lu
could played well in this series where they just the

(06:33):
better team just won.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
I mean, is it more coaching? And a shout out
to Derek Gervy because Derek and I, you know, can
we talked to earlier this morning. He called me up.
He's like, was the Lakers lost more Reddick's fault or
was it more on the players?

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Probably both.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
I thought Reddy could have really you know this, in
playoffs sometimes there's unlikely heroes, right, there's guys that step in.
I could think of Steve Kerr two thousand and three, right, yeah,
Western Conference Finals playing the Mavericks that the man barely played.
He comes in and I mean shoots the hell out

(07:14):
of those threes. I mean, you never know, unlikely guys
step up all the time, and that's what the Lakers
really needed. Realdy was someone else to score. And Lebron
really he looked gas Man, I mean, and Rudy Gobert.
I mean the game he had of his life.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Reddy, that man had what twenty twenty and twenty it.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Was, didn't he have thirty points? Thirty plus points in
like twenty three rebounds? I don't have it offhand, but.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I think really, I mean, twenty seven rebounds for one
guys is pretty remarkable.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
And they didn't have anyone to really check him.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Well they did.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
It was on the bench.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Well, yeah, Jackson's where you go and get Jackson Hayes
coaching issue.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
I know, the guy from Charlotte, right, that trade didn't
go through Mark Williams.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah, the trick for Mark Wall.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
He could have worked out where they They didn't play
anyone on their bench really, and I'm like, dude, you
just throw him out there. You never know, someone gets
hot and the Timberwolves, and I told you I thought
the Lakers win this series, but after Game one I.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Didn't feel confident. I just did not like the Bay language.
And ready they're paying Lebron and look at how much.
I think it's over fifty of.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Well Lebron was at fifty. I think Lucas right at fifty.
It's like a hundred million for two guys.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
For two guys for he what's up with the benches?
I mean they paid Austin Reeves right, I believe last season?
Uh yeah, so really, how much money's gonna go around?

Speaker 1 (08:51):
I mean I get you know, That's the thing too,
is you.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Here's the thing. I was kind of like you when
when Derek asked me about Red and shout out to
Jacob Erica, let's get it again, grating the market coming
back very very soon here. I think Jacob Rick might
even be subbing tomorrow. He might be kicking me out
of Sweep the League TV tomorrow. I think he wants
to take over the keys of the castle. But we'll
see on that. And JC Special Leaf himself, man Special

(09:17):
Leaf guy here, j C. Welcome back on to Sweep
the League. Appreciate you joining us here tonight. We are
talking about the Laker collapse last night. Now, when Derek
asked me, was kind of you? It's a little bit
of both. Derek pretty much stated that it is pretty
much all on Reddick. You can't allow Rudy Gobert to
go crazy last night. Rudy Gobert was the difference in

(09:38):
the Lakers losing and the Timberwolves winning. Him and Julius Randall,
I mean, both guys really came really balled out. And
you have Jackson Hayes on the bench now. After the game,
a reporter did his job asked JJ Reddick about you
know talking to his assistant coaches making the adjustments. JJ

(10:00):
Reddick went full diva Lebron James gave a little smart
ass answer, got up and walked away. I mean, attitude
reflects leadership one hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
You know the guy.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
I understand you're frustrated you lost in five. I totally
understand that your season's done. Shit, your season was done
pretty early, in my opinion. I mean even when you
traded Anthony Davis, I knew it was done there. I
didn't like the Luca deal at all period. It wasn't
gonna make them any better. But you've got to attitude
reflex leadership. JJ Reddick with the smart ass remark at

(10:37):
the end walking away, But it's true.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Why you just said it?

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Why don't you use your bench? Jackson Hayes was riding
on the bench, who could have been a big body
for him.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
And then they played someone rude who hadn't played. I
forgot who it was had played, Like I'd say, hey,
you hadn't played much. I mean, dude, just play play
who you can.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
And figure it out. And you never know.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Right like someone gets hot, they start scoring. They had
a chance to win that game. Ready if someone comes
in his a couple of threes. Hey, it's game six
in Minnesota. Now you're gonna go somewhere in cancud and
some exotic island, right and your season's done?

Speaker 1 (11:21):
And Lebron didn' they go out in the first round
last year?

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Rudy, Yeah, back to back years, first round. The guy's done.
He's not even the second best player on his team.
Austin Reeves is better than Lebron James right now. He
makes he makes a bigger difference for the Lakers than
Lebron James does.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
It's no, yeah, I could definitely see that. Lebron's at
the age where look he's he's not carrying on one, Rudy,
this is really it? And does he want to play
another year or two?

Speaker 1 (11:57):
I just I.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Is it me or you two just kind of go away,
just retire. But now they're saying because Bryce James is
getting ready to come up in twenty twenty six, that
gives them the opportunity to play with his other son
in the NBA. It's an Effen's circus, dude, Like, stop already,
just let it go.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
They should have played Brinnan and James last night.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
I mean, I mean, by someone what does he do next?
Run the g I mean, that's what Jac's asking. And
he loved the Lebron James. You know, the collapse with
the Lakers. But I mean the Lakers were not gonna
be when they made that Luca deal. Everybody all Lakers,

(12:42):
this Laker, that Lakers are title contenders. They're gonna win
the title. They have what made you seem what made
you feel like we're gonna win the title? They got
worse defensively. That's why I said we didn't. We thought
they would probably drop more rooty than they did. They
did stay up the fourth seed, but I was never
really sold. I picked them to beat the tim Wolves

(13:05):
just off of having those two stars. But I mean
the Timberwolves looked very impressive in that series. And now
they move on and you see the Warriors. Is that
the second round would be the worst the winner of.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
The wait, no, the one, I'm sorry, I get a
few right now. I think the Timberwolves will play is
Oklahoma City, Rudy, No.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
No, no, because right now it's Timberwolves and whoever wins
between the Rockets and Warriors. So they got Game six tomorrow,
Rockets and Warriors. Now We'll get to that one a
little bit. The Thunder and the Cavaliers have just been
I mean they've been resting for like five months, it
seems right now they've got it on cruise control. Nugeting
and Clippers play tonight, Nicks and Pistons. Before the game

(13:56):
started tonight, hit up my ex I said, both games
are going to go into games seven. The way it
looks right now, Pistons are up by four with the
win at forty three left in the fourth, so they
could be a game seven there. I feel the Clippers
win to night they go.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
To game seven.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
But the thing with this, the whole lebron thing, the
whole look at thing. You and I we both said
they're probably gonna drop. They ended up winning fifty games
in the year. Totally get that. They got fifty wins.
I think they were the third seed if I'm not mistaken, Yes,
third seed, but they were a massive defensive liability. Do

(14:31):
they beat the Timberwolves of Anthony Davis as healthy and
the Laker stiff?

Speaker 2 (14:38):
I mean, if if Anthony's going for thirty and four,
I mean, this is a good possibility the series extent,
I think t Wolves could probably win, but no, I
think there's a better it's more well, I was he
more competitive, but they have a chance to win more games.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
I think fair enough. I think the same thing.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
That's the same thing.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
I think the same thing. But I mean Birth's not
doing that Dancy Davis. So that's the difference. That's the difference.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Man who thought though that Freddy Gobert was gonna do
what he did. I mean, it's pretty shocking. Like even
Shack was I don't know if he saw what he said.
He's like he never thought he would say the word dominating.
We're talking about Rudy Gobert and he's laughing and it
is a bit disrespectful, but I mean it is funny.

(15:28):
The man had a give of his life if that's
who beats Lebron and looking like, you.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Know what, dude, all right, you know whatever. I mean,
what he did was was out of his mind.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
So yeah, well, you know that's the thing with I
think JC put it very clear here a second a
second ago, he said they win more games, maybe this
series may. I think if Anthony Davis is still Alaker
and he's healthy playing with Lebron, definitely you don't see
Rudy Gobert. You actually probably see Rudy Gobert in foul trouble,

(16:04):
hard to guard Anthony. Yeah, so, I mean the Lakers
have a better chance. But everybody was on the Luca
High you know. Oh, I think I was one of
the few guys say that that trade is terrible. I mean, well,
I think long term, you have a star in La, Rudy,
you do.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
I'll give you that.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
You have a star in La and just maybe Lebron retires,
got more cap space potentially attract another star there.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Jo's already been oh, we we've got to get your honest.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Uh speaking of me honest, I'm not sure if you
talked about.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
On the court, but oh no, no, we talked about
it on Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
So absolutely absolutely ridiculous. And first of all, he should
not be literally on the court. I mean, the series
just edited, Rudy. And you know this, when you lose
a series, and the way they lost this series, right, like,
we know there's been dramatic ways of losing. You know,
you're trying to process everything, You're trying to give your

(17:08):
handshakes and do all that stuff, and the father is
literally right in this guy's face. If you honest would
have hit him. I would have no problem with that,
and I don't stand for violence. But we see this
Freddy in some of these sports where people are coming
up way, way too close.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
I mean, look at this guy.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
I mean, dude, you're not Tyrese, You're the father. It's
like this guy is like living his life Riddy through
his son, and it's embarrassing for the NBA needs to
do something about this and figure something out. I know
there's people who are you know, the parents sometimes sit
close or whoever the case me, but this cannot this

(17:50):
cannot happen.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
This cannot happen in the NBA. But yeah, you know what, Yannis,
maybe it's time to leave Milwaukee. But you know, we'll see.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
Yeah, you know I all week I've been talking about
Giannis and the Spurs, and every day it's been a
little bit different. I want to get your opinion on that.
I'd love to throw, you know, throw a couple of
a couple of things off your off your knocking up there,
g O, because you can always bring me back down
if I'm in the clouds and I'm you know, a
way up there making these absolutely ridiculous takes, which honestly

(18:23):
once I said yesterday's takes people kind of maybe agreed
a little bit there. But on the list, jdy Man
throw down some stuff in the friars people, Southern Fried Sports.
Check them out on YouTube. JD's got a great thing
going over there.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Again.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
We're trying to get We're gonna get JD on the
on the SUP the League, Big League Show here tonight,
not to night?

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Are they? Are they eating fried chicken mother the pod?

Speaker 3 (18:44):
I don't know, but it's Southern Fried Sports, that's all
I know. So but I mean the guy, the guy
cooks up a lot of good stuff on there, so
I'll tell you that much. It's a it's a great show.
Hopefully one day maybe part of sweep the league family.
Maybe we can work something out there. Uh yeah, JD
is in here. They needed to primp protector. Austin Reeves
take some pressure off by scoring. Lebron also can't go

(19:07):
two games and rows points, and that's what we're saying.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Lebron.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah, you know the donut, you know the dunkin donut.
There two games in a row. It just can't happen.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
He's not he he looked out his sink Rudy and
it just seemed he looked like crap. I mean, it's
a bit of disconnect.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Kind of remind me of some of the games Kobe
had where he was taking these shots and it's like
or he would take a bunch of shots and miss.
He didn't even engaged.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
You're gonna throw Kobe into Lebron.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
There were some games where Kobe wanted to make a state.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Well, look, I'm not comparing two. Still great play right away. Listen, Lebron,
it's time, man.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Don't worry about it.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Go to a podcast like everybody else is doing these days.
Just go out there and go to the Sun State.
I mean, listen, fifty mil again next season with California
taxes is not emil obviously, So I mean, already, what
they come back, maybe get a few role players, Ah,

(20:08):
but I just don't see them being a top two
seeds in the West next I mean, no top two,
top three. So for Lebron, why not try to could
he force his way out already?

Speaker 1 (20:21):
He can do whatever the hell he wants to do.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
I mean, let's be real now, let me let me
kind of throw this away, let me throw this your way,
and yeah, the honestes you can tell. I mean we'll
get to Giannis talking a minute. I've been talking basketball
all week. Man, it's been crazy.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Let me throw this at you.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
You is the is it the theft fact that maybe
guys just don't want to play with Lebron?

Speaker 1 (20:46):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
You had the Miami Heat where yeah, they didn't have
a whole lot of success, they didn't get a whole
lot of titles.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Well, I mean to two championships.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
I mean it's it's it's not three, it's not four,
it's not five.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Well, yeah, it's a running joke. And you know Ray
Allen man.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Well again, let's rewind it and shout out to Tim
Gondallas Blue Devils. What's good everyone? Let meet to these
comments jd JC I saw someone call them legne earlier
the lines went out. It's up by one right now,
business are up by two with forty nine seconds left
in that game saw as bald spot as the oh
and gone definitely Pistons. Yeah, and again in the James
has playeroffs. So let me get your thoughts. If not

(21:32):
for a Ray Allen three, and if not for a
Kyrie shot, fadeaway shot, or even a kiwie Kyrie Kyrie performance,
that's two less titles that Lebron has. So I actually
said last night, and I shout out to Derek Gervin Man.

(21:52):
I thought he was gonna slap the hell of me
for saying it, But I said, Derek, as of this morning,
as of last night, I don't even know if I
have Lebron in my top ten.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Of all time if.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
We're basing it, if we're basing it off of performances winning,
YadA ya, YadA yah. You mean to tell me that
you can put him above guys who show up in
big games and most importantly in fourth quarters, the guy disappears.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Well, look, he's had a lot of blunder star players. Hey,
I'm sure if we look back in time, Rady, we'll
see a fourth quarter where Shack didn't play well when
it mattered the most. I mean, we can probably go
through a lot of guys to see I think, what
is I think?

Speaker 1 (22:46):
What's happening? Though he's played so long? Right for you?

Speaker 3 (22:52):
No?

Speaker 1 (22:52):
No, But the thing is, think about it. The more
you play, the more you're going to lose. Like you're
going to lose more than you win, Ruddy. I mean,
this isn't Bill Russell, Like you're gonna lose more and
as times.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Tim duncan g o the guy hardly lost.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
But think about this, Tim played how many years Rudy
what nineteen? And how many championships did he win?

Speaker 1 (23:19):
He won?

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Five?

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Okay, so right, so you're gonna fail more than you succeed,
just in general, right, And Lebron's playing so much, he's
just gonna bound continue to fail and have flameounce and
have cords where he's not playing well. He's also getting up.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
There in age.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
I still think he's in still top ten in general.
I think people's eyes still But Reddy, I'm not gonna condemn.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
You, though I I will get all the hate for
saying that he's out of my top ten. Now Again,
everybody's top ten is different. I don't care who you are.
Everybody's top ten is different. But if I'm basing it
off of performances, off of guys and key moments, I'm
mean it's hard to put him. And honestly, Kobe was

(24:03):
kind of outside of the top ten for me in
some In some instances, Kobe would have been, but I
don't remember Kobe ever having a series where he goes
zero in the fourth very next game, zero in the fourth,
and then damn near go scoreless again in the fourth
when it matters the most.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
That's I mean, look, I I'm sure a lot of
people are shooting on Lebron today. I still think he's
still a great player. Obviously, defensively he leaves much to
be desired. He doesn't really play any defense these days.
It's more of you know, ol A, Right, but you Realdy. Hey,
he's still the all time leading scorer, as it it

(24:48):
points to his longevity. Right, It's still really impressive what
he's done. But the last few years, really it's it's
been flameouts, and not for the COVID Championship, I mean discounts.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
I've tried arguing with many people.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
I caused the COVID Championship because I also called the
Dodgers that world serious COVID Championship, and I've had.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
People argue with you.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
But look, I mean, look, they still won the championship.
Regardless if it was in a bubble or if it's
a Walt Disney World, they still won a championship. It
was still impressive. But I did feel like the Clippers,
the Clippers that you were supposed to be the team,
and unfortunately they they just kind of dissolved. But anyway, Lebron,

(25:34):
as I said Earlierdy, it's time I agree with you.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
I agree with Nick. Go ahead.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
What I'm actually watching this this is this is terrible.
This is a bad But you know, really it depends
to loose listen. Shout out to them because I what
they did this year, Rudy impressive. They should have in
game one.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, they seem to. There's still a young team. They
have a lot going for them. The Knicks pretty are
they playing so they're those.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
That were playing the Celtics. The winner of this game,
which now is the Knicks, will be playing the Celtics.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
The Knicks are gonna need a herculean effort.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Really, you know the Knicks have We can't don't sell
them so short.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
No, no, no, I'm just saying that that that grind
out type of mentality. I think it'll work against the Pistons,
But I just think I think Boston may be too much.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
But you can give the Knicks a chance knowing that
Jalen Brown's banged up, Porzingis is a little banged up,
Tatum's a little banged up. Now, I think the Knicks
have enough firepower to beat the Celtics. And remember beginning
of the season, Robert Forrestson started, I had Thunder and
Knicks in the in the NBA Finals, And of course

(27:00):
Cleveland right now is just dominating. But do you give
the Knicks. I'm just guarantee or guarantee what percentage you
give the Knicks like the Celtics, because to me, that
that's probably the most evenly matchup we're going to see
in the second round.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
You don't think the Pacers could could get real hot?

Speaker 3 (27:22):
And oh man, you know what I'm gonna say, no,
I know. Only reason why is because all season Cleveland
has been dominant all season, I know, I mean it's.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
It's been unreal one of the most impressive seasons for
a team that we knew we're going to be a
playoff team, right we like, we know that, but it
was how good they were they did as unbelievable. I
think you're right, it's something an interesting series of you know,
the Calves have been kind of it seemed like really

(27:53):
they played last year, right like it's it's been so
long ago, and I get the Knicks a shot. I mean, look,
I'm I'm from New York. I still have a little
place in my heart for the New York Knicks, but
I don't they're gonna have to steal a game at
least in Boston. Uh, that grind out style could work

(28:13):
obviously with some guys banged up.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
It's possible. I'm gonna get the next of a forty
chance ready, which is still pretty good.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
That's actually pretty good. I thought you would give him
maybe around thirty twenty five percent chance to win the series. Again,
I mean, Boston's kind of banged up a little bit,
so it it It would take probably. I'm gonna say this,
If Kat has a massive.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Second round, key Rudy, that's the key to me.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Then the Knicks win maybe in six.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Do you think thirty a game? Ready? I mean we're
talking a herculean How about twenty five thirty?

Speaker 3 (28:50):
I guess if he was to go for twenty five
and fourteen, because yeah, I think that's good enough. The
only issues I have is is you've only got Cat,
but you've got to deal with Horford and porzingis.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
So do you have enough to say that? We're still
talking about Al Horford still jacking up.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Threes, but I know, still making it work. Man Sith
Florida leis STL three sixteen. The Doctor of Style set
this in here, says Rudy and g O f Yi.
Lebron played seventy games this year, six round to the Olympics,
and then Timsy was giving us all the updates on
the next game. I'm missing the game. The weather killed

(29:33):
my direct TV. Well the next law the next one, sith,
So at least you can join us here tonight. You'll
get your updates here. So I appreciate everybody joining us tonight. Yeah,
you're right talking about a Horford dude. That's that's crazy
in itself. Geo, like all part of the league.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
He's still a player who can, you know, at times
get hot, right, He's he's not that that type of
player anymore, but it's still very impressive to see. Definitely
a feature, I say, a future Hall of Famer.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
What do you think?

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Oh god, that's a good question, man, I.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Think, yes, yeah, the NBA Hall of Fame is it's
it's it's.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Gonna make me look it up. You're gonna make me
look it up because I need to see the accomplishments.
Now out of title, five time NBA All Star, All
NBA Third.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Team, he's getting get ready.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
You know what, I'm gonna say, yes, because of the
back to back NCAA champions of Florida. Remember it's the
Basketball Hall of Fame. So I think with what he's
done in the NBA, his longevity, with what he's done
in college basketball. I mean you're talking about SEC Tournament, MVP,

(30:50):
Second Team, All the third Team as well All American.
I think he gets in based off of what he's
accomplished in the game of basketball.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
So yes, I give him that.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
He's the college basketball you definitely have to look him in.
I know someone made a comment about Chris Mullen. I said, well,
Chris Mullins a three time the Keys player there like that.
That was no scrub, that was an actual player. But anyway, Yeah,
I think from looking at his stats for re Ady,
he's it's good to think to say he's definitely gonna

(31:21):
get in.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
I find it hard.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
To see.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Plus his international right, he's it's it's that whole package.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Yeah, basketball, so I would say so, I mean he
was what a he also played PIBA basketball. I believe
got a bronze with a Argentina twenty eleven twenty twelve
was gold in the Central Basketball so, I mean, he's
got a lot of accomplishments. Kind of funny you mentioned
in the Basketball Hall of Fame before we go to
our quick commercial break, and when I say quick, we're

(31:52):
going to do one commercial only, but we're going to
get back to some NFL talk. But I looked up
Mark Price. He's a favorite of ours on sweep the league.
He's not a Hall of Famer. He's not in the
Hall of Fame I have. The guy has the same
accolades with the exception of stats like scoring as Reggie Miller.

(32:18):
I mean, it's it's damn near identicy. If I told
you both of them, you would either say both are
Hall of Famers or neither one is a Hall of Famer.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Rudy, I see why he doesn't get in. He's a
four time All Star. He's a four time All NBA.
I don't know if it's first or second or third,
but he doesn't really mad Okay, And I remember one
comment Isaiah Thomas made about Mark Price in the eighties
and obviously he played nineties two. He says, man, his

(32:50):
Mark play and listen, go look at those years, Rudy.
They just ran to the bulls man and obviously the
Knicks to as I went on, but Mark Price could
split the double team, one of the best ever to
do that. Can stop on a dime and shoot the shot.
Mark Price should be in the NBA Hall of Fame.

(33:11):
I just finded baffling.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
And Rudy.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
You know, he was in Cleveland, right, Like they kind
of lifted that franchise and they were good ready every
year for the most part, playoffs right, like playoffs, Right,
they were in there and they.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
Just playoffs and at playoffs you can playoffs.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Two riger ninety three them they made it to the
Eastern Conference finals and again ran into the bulls, right. So, look,
a lot of guys lost against Michael but Mark Price.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Look, I mean.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Fifteen and two had some years when he got close
to twenty points a game. I mean, in his air
of Rudy, he's going up against dogs. I mean, look
at the point guards, Magic Johnson, Hello, Isaiah Thomas, Isaiah Thomas,
John Stockton, Gary Payton, Kevin Johnson. I mean, I can

(34:12):
go on about these players that he played and unfortunately
he played in there where it's just so many of
these guys.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
But Burk Price, you got my vote, Bud.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
Yeah, we need to get votes here. Sith is in here,
same reason why these weirdo fans are calling Keldon a
Spurs legend already.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
So who's who? Wait, so listen. I don't live in Texans.
Pretty maybe one day I will. Who is calling this
guy a legend? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
I say he's the I What I've said lately is
that he fits the six man role perfectly for this team.
If that means he's a legend coming out of my mouth,
then I guess so. But I've never called him a legend.
I'd love to know what weirdos they're calling Keldon Johnson.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
There's probably somebody on Twitter that we probably know.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Probably all these people on Twitter, on X or whatever,
they do a whole lot. Man. Before we go to
we're gonna go to a qui commercial break again. We're
gonna do our quick commercial break, which is only gonna
be the sponsor ad, which is gonna be of course,
MCS General Contracting. I want you to think about a
couple of things here. I'm gonna come back second half
of the show. We're gonna knock out some NFL draft grades.
Give me your best NFL draft some scrubs on X not. Yeah, yeah,

(35:22):
we don't.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
I know, it's not us. We know what we say.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Oh, I don't even know if g O's on X anymore.
But the other thing I wanted to ask you is
the last couple of days I've been talking about the Spurs,
I mentioned, you know, the whole Giannis talk coming to
San Antonio. You saw what happened with Halliburn's dad. You
see the frustration in Gianni's face. They have no draft picks,
they have no cap space. Bobby Porters and Brook lob

(35:46):
Is are free agents. They're probably not gonna be able
to resign them. They don't have the cap space. Dame's
probably gonna miss the entire season, if not majority of
the season with his injury.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
So right now.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Milwaukee's in a world of heat. The only asset you
can move to get this franchise back in the right direction.
Is Giannis ant to do?

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Counpo?

Speaker 3 (36:08):
I asked Tuesday night, I said, what what is it
going to take?

Speaker 1 (36:12):
Draft picks?

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Draft picks, draft picks, Devin Harrison, Barnes, you know, Pobbi, Jeremy,
anything to get the numbers going. Then last night, yesterday,
Twitter was a buzzin Stefan Castle won Rookie of the Year.
Then it comes out, well, you've got to think Milwaukee
may want stefan Castle as part of the deal. So

(36:36):
I said, okay, we are against it. But for you, Geo,
I asked Spurs fans, does it make it easier to
trade stefan Castle for Giannis if the Spurs get a
top three pick in the lottery. Think about that when

(36:57):
we come back. I want your answer on that. Aready
giving us his grades and the Cowboys and guess what
he grated him a B plus to an A minus.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
We got the boys.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
I've actually got the boys at an A minus right now.
But let's see what Geo says right here. We'll we
come back here on Sweep the League. Coach here were

Speaker 3 (38:46):
All right, welcome back. See I promise they quick commercial
break here. So before we went, we were talking about,
you know, Spurs Giannis, the possibilities of adding Stefan Castle.
Now I'm gonna give you my reasons behind it, and
then you're gonna be You're gonna be the judge on this.
So you're gonna be a shout out to Jonathan matt
I saw a video Jonathan Mathis for those guys you
don't know sports judge out in California, old old, old

(39:09):
friend of ours here at Sweep the Lake I saw.
I got back on Instagram because I had to get
back on Instagram because I had to check a message
I got from somebody who was wanting to come on
the show, and they only said it on Instagram. I
didn't even know it was active, but I got on
there saw Johnathan Mathis. Anyway. Nonetheless, Joe, this is our
MCS General Contracting again, shout out to lay on the

(39:29):
boys graded business. They are backed by US one hundred percent.
They guarantee you their word. They guarantee their work, MCS
General Contracting. This is the building, the building, the roster
moment here. So I said, okay, here's the thing. Milwaukee
wants to Findcastle. People are like, no, no, no, Spurs
got a top three pick. Milwaukee wants the top three pick.

(39:50):
Hold up, let's let me, let me let me put
this here. Milwaukee's looking at why do I take the
gamble of a top three pick. I don't know if
Ace Bailey is going to be that good. I don't
know if Cooper Flag can be the man. We we
don't know that. But what I do know is Stefan
Castles Rookie of the Year and has tremendous upside.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
So I want him.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
So I asked Spurs fans last night and I got
some pushback. I'll love it, Edmund Ortiz, great show, great
follower of the show, always always always shouts out love him.
You know, said no, you don't do it well for me.
I said, is it easier to move Stefan Castle for
Yannas and you have a top three pick in this
year's draft, go for Jim?

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Well, look, I think it's very intriguing.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
Listen is fun Castle ready? I think we all can
agree has some have some good, good upside. I mean,
he could potentially be an NBA star in the league.
But Giannis is thirty, right, dy, So what do you think? Okay,
Twine thirty? He still got some stuff left in the.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
Tank, right, So it's prime Honis.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
I'll be ro It's it's prime.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Yiannis and maybe Sevan Castle is that that guy, not
the guy obviously, but a really good player in this league. Ruddy,
I'm gonna take the known for not necessarily unknown in Castle,
obviously Rookie of the Year Listen, I had a good year,

(41:26):
Rudy get better and better, But for prime Jannis Ruddy
with Victor and the kids from Sacramento.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
I would take that right now.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
So you would move Castle, knowing you have a top
three pick in this year's draft.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
Yep. I thought about it, and I thought, man, it's
it's it's prime. And that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
The more I think about it, the more I'm like,
you know what, yeah, because then I can plug an
As Bailey, I can plug a Cooper Flag. I mean
they you don't have to have these guys be the guy.
Why Because you've got Darren, You've got Giannis, you've got Victor,
You've got one of these guys.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
I mean, I mean that's a big three that obviously
you need to gel, you need an offseason, you need
all that good stuff.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
And obviously we need a coach. Rudy and I don't
know that's another thing, right, who's going to be the coach?
Well that was number one. That's what I said.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
It's it's the coach. It's ten feet of shit. And
then it's the roster and everything like that. They got
to nail the coach down that Yeah, so Castle Greek
Wemby and that works. Hopefully we can keep Fox of
not story. That's the thing they would rather get rid
of Darren Fox for Giannis.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
No, that's what I said.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Wait wait who said? Listen you Spurs fans. I don't
know what type of drugs are in San Antonio, but
there's no way. I'm like, it's close to border.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
I'm not letting Fox go. I trust me. I've seen
this guy. He's so talented. I just know.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
Listen, I like Castle ready, Rookie of the Year, I
get all that, But you have Prime Giannis. Someone's gotta go,
and it's not gonna be Darren Fox, definitely, and I
wil be it's gotta be Castle. And obviously whoever else
you want, you want so hand you put him on
there too.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
You want.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
Who's the another guy who just doesn't show up all
the time, Miselle, Hey, throw him in there too, right,
I just you gotta get Prime Yiannis Rudy he's still
twenty nine years old.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
Sorry, it's crazy Geo to think that. And Jac's in here. Yeah,
Jaycon's back in her says first play is a draft,
So imagine lottery happens they get a top three pick.
I mean, could could the potential be, hey, we want
Castle because we know who we get.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Then what do you do?

Speaker 3 (44:05):
I mean, look at that. Finally I'm firing coaches. You
know they're firing you out.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Oh listen, listen, I'm going off of the school of
Less Snead, which, by the way, really speaking of speaking
of less Snead, that man fleeced your Falcons for that
first round pick next season.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Yeah they did.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
I really, the Rams were picking what twenty six pretty
and y'all gave up next year first, I know, we
switched and you took our third. And speaking of the Falcons,
not to change subjects here ready, but what y'all did
to Shador Sanders was absolutely wrong. What y'all didn't No,

(44:48):
I know, what is it. I'm blaming you because you're
a Falcons fan.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Have to throw you in there. But that kid, what
he did was so first off, disrespectful and just just la.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Wait a minute, you're gonna come after me for what
they did Todor, But yet you're not going to bring
up the fact that other players Abdul Carter and other
players got prank called in the same draft in the
same night. But it's because the whole you know, all
holy thou Shador Sanders got prank called. That that is

(45:25):
the biggest story.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Okay, so that's your question. I'll do car the prank calling.
What pick did he go, Rudy you went to? I mean,
I mean, what did he get prank called with the
first pick? I mean, look, I.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Toway prank calls though videos, but Riddy the context Suder
is waiting around to what the fifth round and he
was gonna be waiting all draft anyway, because these NFL
gms are just absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Yeah, I get it.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Chador and Dion did some not so smart things during
these meetings and they're being essentially just not forthcoming and
their talks. I know, Brian da Ball or the Giants
had mentioned he wasn't prepared. YadA, YadA, YadA. If you're
gonna tell me that mister the quarterback from the Oregon

(46:24):
Ducks is better than Shad Door Sanders, Dylan Gabriel, you
gotta be kidding, or the kid, the kid from Louisville
is better than Sanders.

Speaker 3 (46:36):
I said Tyler Shaw would be one of the best QBS.
I know, I said Daniel Jones, I.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
Know, Tyler's an interesting I'll give you this, it's an
interesting prospect. Yeah, I think there's something there. He can
sling it and had that shootout against Miami, which everyone did,
but I just didn't love that. And I'm not blaming you,
but I'm just saying I know that the Shador Sanders thing,
I just kept seeing that. I was like, man, this

(47:03):
is this is pretty bad, and.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
You know it's bad.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
But Gill, the guy, the guy walks in doesn't really
give a damn about anything. That's his concern is what
are y'all gonna do for me? How are you gonna surround.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
Me with talent?

Speaker 3 (47:24):
What what NFL rookie walks in with that? I mean,
with that attitude.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
I come.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
I told you the kid, in my opinion, was undraftable.
He would have been a six or seventh round pick
at best, went in the fifth round. And even at that, Geal,
I'm gonna get pushback and probably you know, I don't care.
I think he got drafted by the Browns as a
favor because everybody was making a big deal about why

(47:57):
isn't shad Or Sanders drafted? He was a first round talent.
You should have been top of your time. I don't
give a damn with mel Kiper, says mel Kiper sucks.
I don't care about that. Everybody else who believed.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
It is wrong. What I don't understand is did Pittsburgh
draft the quarterback party.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
They end up getting Will Howard from Ohio State.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
Again, another organization that seems does not really care about quarterbacks.
And you keep doing this every year. Try something different.
I mean, just go out and let draft Chador. Give
him an opportunity. I mean, give an opportunity here. Yeah, listen,
I get it. He comes with some baggage and dion
and all this stuff. But when he's in training camp

(48:40):
that all that stuff's not going to matter because it's
going to be all about football and nothing else, especially
playing for the Steelers, somebody's franchise already. I hope sha
Door ends up being a baller, a gamer and all
these teams going.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
He's a damn And I was about to say something,
shout out to the Bears.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
I thought they had a good draft. Yeah, I'm pushing
to kill him. Train Cale has no damn excuse. Now
you got the best one of the best offensive minds
in football and Ben Johnson wh the Bears. The Bears
are who we thought they were and that's a thing
to a Danny Green back the day. But anyway, Bears, uh,

(49:24):
this is your time.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
It is I will you know what, we'll talk. Let's
talk some NFL draft here. I mean, because they've been
dying to talk NFL draft. We got another ten fifteen
minutes or so. Sanders kid is in there. Hunter was
the only one from the team worth of damn. I
believe on that coach Geo when I call no prank,
you're fired for that Greek trade proposal. I'm the one
that proposed it. I'm in his prime.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Are you gonna tell me? Is Castle ever gonna be
better than Giannis? Pretty? Okay?

Speaker 3 (49:56):
So before he was drafted, on my draft sheet, I
had Stefan Castle and again it was on our NBA
draft show that we did. I had Stefan Castle as
an SGA type of player. I had him at an
SGA ceiling. I really feel he could be a shake
yo Chris Alexander, which means he's an MVP candidate eventually.

(50:19):
But that's the high point. Will he ever get to
Yannis level?

Speaker 1 (50:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (50:25):
I even made a controversial thing last night. I said,
who's to say he's not better in the long run
than Wimby? We really don't know. I mean, Waby's putting
up great numbers, but do we really know how good
Stefan Castle can really be.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
Yeah, it's it's a slight unnice. And he won rook
of the Year. But Rudy, there's been some Rookiwers of
the Year who've won and I haven't done anything else, right,
So I mean possible.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
You never know.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
I'm perfect, and if he stays great, but if we
get honest in return. Listen, I'm from the less need
school of thinking. Uh, give me the star player, man,
honest prime, Okay, sign me up.

Speaker 3 (51:15):
But the only way that I take the deal is
if we have a top three pick. I mean, that's
the only way that I feel it makes sense, because
then you go and get you know, again, another potential
rookie of the Year. I mean, to me, that the
only way it makes sense.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Dude.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
You talked about the Bears NFL draft grades coming up,
so they're they're really right, dude, there's no reason why
the Bears shouldn't be more successful. Colston Lovelin their first
round pick and pick number ten. I love the Luther
Burden pick on the second round.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
I was really open that.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
I thought maybe the Rams would be interested and and
try to Those are rumblings about the Rams and they
end of beginning a receiver super late.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
But I don know. They got a tight end which
I like in Ferguson from Oregon.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
He tested well, he's kind of that Sean McVeigh kind
of rub me a pooka and away as that. But
Luther from Missouri, right, Rudy, if I'm not mistaken, Yeah,
uh he's he is.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Could be special. That's all I'm gonna say at this point.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
Yeah, Luther Burden can be very very special.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Man.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
That kid can be real special. What I did like
Gill was they had three they had three second round picks.
Chamar Turner defensive tackle. He can be a very interesting
pick for them on the defensive side of the ball.
I'm surprised they only got two offensive linemen and Ozzie

(52:50):
Trapilo and Luke Newman. I figured they would have put
a little bit more thought in the offensive lineman.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
In this draft.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Well, ruddy, they they got. They trade for the Rams guard. Yes,
who was from Detroit and then they also signed I
don't have the thing in front of me. I think
the offensive line will be fine. I know this is
an issue every year seems like kind of like the
Giants never seem to really fix your offensive line. But

(53:21):
the Bears did get I forgot the other two guys
that they picked up in the off seas. Oh no,
uh the guy from the Chiefs really Toney, righty? Yes,
they got Toney as well, So this is an offensive line.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
I mean, really, listen. I know I've been screaming for Caleb,
but this Bears team.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
If they're not good next year, Rudy, then you know what.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
I can't anymore. I just can't with this organization. There's
something in the water over there in Lake Michigan. If
if you can't win with the defense, that's going to
be good. And you know who they should call at
running back, Go call Nick Chubbo.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
That would be good for them. Go in there and
see them. I like what the Barris it.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
Overall office lineman obviously is a is an issue, but
they did get Tuney, who is one of the best guards.
It didn't look like that in the Super Bowl, but
they got something brewing in Chicago. I'm hoping. I used
to live there and they they got good fans.

Speaker 1 (54:20):
Man, It's just they can't just see got their own way.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
Well, can can I be honest and up run with
you about Kayler Williams. He's way better than should or Sanders.
I'm just gonna tell you that right now. That's that
takes a lot for me to say, because I'm not
a huge Kala fan, but Kayleb Williams shows a lot
more promise than should or for me period on the tape.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
But as far as Chicago goes, you say, you say
they've got to be good. I agree with you. But
johnsonsion Ben Johnson to me is the key. It's Ben.
Ben Johnson's the key. Riddy.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
Last year Shane Waldron that man was running a trick
plays in the red zone. I saw a play against
the Colts they did like a flat flip and like, dude,
the stuff they were running was idiotic. That's why shir
Wandra got fired. I think now he's in Jacksonville and
obviously their.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Head coach, Reddy. What did I tell you? I don't
like my head coaches in general, not always defensive mind
it's something off. It's just I don't like it pairing
that with a young quarterback. And know there's Talm. I
know there's a guy in with the Texans. I get
all that.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
Like, there's obviously, you know ways that you can definitely
kind of mask that. But Riddy, mister Iberflus, really that
was another disaster.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
Well, I'll tell you this, I really like the Bears,
and I did say, with the exception of a couple
of teams, I know the Bengals are one of them.
With the exception of a couple of teams, I think
every team nailed this draft. They all had really good drafts,
and the Bears a really good one. Thet I love.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
I mean, yeah, obviously Will Campbell is, but I like,
I like to running back from Ohio State last year
Stevenson had some fumbling issues. Isn't me interesting to see?
You know how they share the load there? You got
Kyle Wims from Washington State. You got Jared Wilson, you know,
a Georgia Bulldog, A.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
Big fan of him.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
I love.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
What New England did. I do feel bad that, you
know oj Mail is not here too to be a
part of this. Obviously they got a new coach Jared May.
You said, oj oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
Yeah, a former USC trojan. But yeah, a lot of
teams did pretty well. Cowboys. Really I got a question, Oh,
here we go.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
Can I say something about the Patriots? Sure, yeah, go ahead.
I love that Brandon Swinston pick and number the fifth
round from LSU. I think the kid can be really good.
I even liked her seventh round picking Kobe Minor out
of Memphis that cornerback position. I agree one hundred percent
with you. Patriots are one of the big winners in
this draft. Trayvon Henderson's going to be a beast for

(57:13):
the Patriots. Well, Campbell not exactly the first guy I
would have gone with as offensive tackle, but I mean
the kids a baller. He's going to be able to
protect Drake may there. I love what the Patriots did.
So those two guys that I mentioned a little while ago,
Kobe Minor and Brandon out of LSU, those are big guys.
What's your question on the Cowboys? We got some Cowboy fans,

(57:35):
is it true?

Speaker 2 (57:36):
And I saw this in a video that the Cowboys
drafted a guard that they said was going to be
the Jaalen Carter stopper or something like that. There was
a joke that I saw that he was going to
be the Jaalen Carter stopper, and I'm like, dude.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
I think it was more of a joke.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
Okay, I mean, because he didn't give up any sacks,
but apparently the last time he did give up sacks
was when Georgia played Oklahoma, which is has been quite
some time.

Speaker 3 (58:05):
So well, they ended up getting Tyler Booker as their
first round pick out of Alabama, offensive guard out of Alabama,
Tyler Booker. Booker was not the guy that I expected
there with you know, I probably would have gone maybe
Josh Simmons or maybe trade down and get on a

(58:27):
couple more picks and didn't go get a Josh Simmons
disable out of there's a North Dakota state.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
I believe it was another one.

Speaker 3 (58:36):
They had a lot of options there and as Tyler
Booker I felt was a reach.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
So outside of that, the Cowboys, I.

Speaker 3 (58:47):
Mean, they nailed the draft from the second round all
the way to the seventh. It almost seemed like Jimmy
Johnson was drafting and Jerry was asleep in the bedroom.
I mean, honestly, man, they got they got players a lore.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Jerry normally does do well with draft picks. He just
when it comes to signing players outside of the draft.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
Dready. I thought the Eagles. I thought the Eagles had
a good draft as well.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
And Campbell from Alabama, which I kind of wanted the
Rams to maybe get if they were sitting there and
they typical Rams traded out of that pick. They get
the safety from Texas, Ty Robinson from Nebraska that the
Eagles d Lion God, that the Eagles Dylon Rudy. Every

(59:33):
year they just get someone and then and then they
get the kid from linebacker from Georgia. Is like their
entire defense seems to be from Georgia these days. I like,
I hope that Kyle went somewhere else to quarterback from Syracuse.
I like him a lot, but you know he's gonna
be behind. Obviously, backing up.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
But I thought the Eagles had a good uh A
good draft I had. They they had a really good draft.

Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
I'm gonna make a quick note and I'm gonna move
on to another team here about the Cowboys from their
second round all the way to their sixth round. All
five of those guys, it was Donovan out of Boston
College Chavon Ravel. I mean, if not for the injury
that he had at East Carolina being out for the year,

(01:00:21):
would have easily been minimum a second round pick. But
that Jamean Blue pick in the fifth round. Holy snikes, man,
that kid is gonna turn a lot of heads for Dallas.
But you, being an SEC guy, I love the Cornelius
draft pick in the sixth round two for the offensive
tackle position, but you being an SEC guy, that's Shamar

(01:00:45):
James linebacker pick. That's a very sneaky good pick by
the Cowboys, very sneaky.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
Yeah, they listen. The Cowboys got some you know they
last season. I told you and Derek, you gotta listen.
I don't see this team making up playoffs. I just
y'all was saying ten, eleven, twelve, and it says I
don't see that. I just I find it hard to believe.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
Your biggest signing was Ego Ellen. But anyway, Ruddy, I
know that that was a good signing the Rams, and
I know I'm a Rams guy.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
They drafted uh Chris Paul senior rudy linebacker from Old Miss. Yeah,
and if not for his measurables, because he's not the
biggest guy, one of the best linebackers. I think he
believed finished second for the Nation's Best Linebacker award, So
that's a big, big pickup. And also the Rams got

(01:01:38):
the outside linebacker from Michigan, who again Rams are trying
to build that depth on that defensive line. And then
the Ferguson kid, Ruddy the tight end. They really love him.
I mean they they really. I'm stoked to see you
know the Rams last year, Rudy is we don't try
to trade up for Bowers, was for the freaking Jets

(01:02:00):
or somebody.

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
Screwed it up. Of course the Jets wit scress, but
I thought the Rams had a good one.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
And then really for the Rams to get a first
round draft pick next year, I thought that was very
impressive because I didn't think the Rams were going to
get a second round pick.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
I think the Falcons will be good next season, but
I do stop.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
Really, I'm gonna be rooting against you guys pretty heavily, Rudy,
because I would love a top five pick next season.

Speaker 3 (01:02:28):
Yeah, you definitely would, man, You definitely would won a
top five pick. So I mean we'll hit up the Falcons.
Not a very good draft in my opinion. I do
like the first three picks. I mean, I like Jalen
Walker definitely get out of Georgia. The James Pearce junior.
I had James Pierce on my mock drafts when I
was doing full team mock drafts, full first round. I

(01:02:51):
had James Pearce right around that fifteen to twenty area.
I think he did a lot of Tennessee to get
himself into that area. Obviously he dropped. Falcon see something
in him, kind of something that I saw. They were
able to trade back in get James Pearce. The Xavier
Watts out of Notre Dame. Again, a safety that was
highly recognized, was highly you know scouted. So definitely I

(01:03:13):
like the first three picks. Outside of that just really
didn't scream anything to me. So the Falcons draft was
kind of like blah. But one winner that I want
to get to GEO is a team that it always
seems like they have good drafts, but it never kind
of pans out. The Indianapolis Colts got massively good over

(01:03:40):
an entire weekend. I mean Tyler Warren in that first round.
Coming back, they got to get the defense side of
the ball. They get Justin Whaley in the third.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
I think J T.

Speaker 3 (01:03:52):
Tumiola from Ohio State in the second. The two guys
that I really liked was they got better on the
offensive line with Jalen Travis out of Iowa State. DJ
Giddens is not He's not He's no joke.

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
I said, I've I'm a bet I'm a betting man,
and he was in a lot of my slips last year.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
He's just productive. And Kansas City was a pretty good
team last season, and I thought they did We're really good, lady.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
The problem is, who's gonna be their quarterback?

Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
They did get He's not a he's not a QB.
That's gonna be all world. I'd never liked Anthony Richardson.

Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
I know you've been on the I've been a little
bit less lenient because he didn't play a lot at Florida,
But really, is this is probably his last year?

Speaker 4 (01:04:48):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
I think they Yeah, it's pretty pretty obvious, but really,
who who's the cults backup? I'm kind of interested to
see Treck here the Colt step chart because Reddy all
either success, it's gonna helm on their quarterback.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
Well that I mean, and that division is very winnable
outside of Houston.

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Oh my god, I mean, do you know who the
backup is?

Speaker 3 (01:05:14):
Daniel Jones. DJ You know what's funny, Jill is.

Speaker 1 (01:05:19):
Daniel Jones. That could be a good a good spot
for Daniel Jones.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
Ready, Jonathan Taylor, you got Pittman, you got Alec Pierce,
I love Josh Downs, you got Tyler One.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
This I think Daniel Jones, Oh, here we go. Here
we go.

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
From what I saw last year from the Colts and
there were a lot of games and Ruddy dare I say,
if he starts.

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
Week one, could be comeback player of the Year. I'm
just gonna throw it out there, Rudy, I'm just gonna
throw it out there.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
So do I get a reprieve on? No, Daniel Jones
is the best QB in that draft? Because oh if
Daniel Jones starts and gets the Colts past the first
round of the playoffs, do I get a reprieve?

Speaker 1 (01:06:09):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (01:06:10):
Does the door open? Does the door open?

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
Sure?

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
With that team, he also got Khalil Herbert, who is
pretty decent in Chicago. They got players, Reddy, it's just
the quarterback situation. Daniel Jones. Ready, this could be I'm
telling right now. Mark my words. Everyone, don't say and
tell you. If Daniel Jones starts from looking at this
roster at least right now, good be comeback player of

(01:06:37):
the Year and Riddy if he does want it, we
need to replay this clip for a whole week because.

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
I called it. Yeah, you called it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
And then I'm gonna expect you to go back on
X at least for a day or two give me.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
And then Daniel Jones throws four picks.

Speaker 3 (01:06:55):
In a playoff game and he goes for an eighty
yard and you know, fumbles it at the five yard
line or trips or something. Sith wants to know. Cowboys
will be back in the playoffs. Bookmark this fortune, tel Redy,
do me here repeat it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
So it can come true.

Speaker 3 (01:07:10):
I I will say this, Cowboys in the playoffs. I
love their draft. It's gonna help them. But Geo, can
you agree with me on one thing. If the Cowboys
sign Amari Cooper to come back and play, that's a

(01:07:34):
good step for them in the right direction to make
it to at least the playoffs. I think they're better
than the Giants. I'm not gonna I think they're better
than the giants. To me, they're.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
I don't know why.

Speaker 3 (01:07:49):
I'm kind of low on the on the Commanders right now.
I don't know why. I like what the Commanders are
doing and what they did. Is it maybe because I'm
scared of your two Jayden Daniels, like you expect the
sophomore slump.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
Well sometimes year two, but really you're the defense. Uh
should be continuing to improve?

Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
Me. I thought last year they made a lot of strides.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
Yeah, and they have a defensive minded coach, which in
this in this sense kind of helps because you got
Cliff former head coach. He's you see, kind of running
the offense doing really good. And then the defensive side,
I think Bobby Wagner I think still there. I mean
they really I like the Commanders. I don't love Dallas.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
If they can get.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
Amari Cooper, sure why not. But Amari comes and goes.
It's just he's a he's a bit triggy to me.
Has Dallas fixed all their defense? And then at the
other day Ruddy. No disrespect to the coach because I
think highly of his dad. But Riddy, we don't know

(01:08:53):
much about the Sun.

Speaker 1 (01:08:54):
I mean, he's been.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
Around, he was a ram, he was a Saint Louis
Rams offensive cord or what's up on it in Saint Louis.
That man's been around a long time, Rady, so he
does have a lot of knowledge. Wish him all the best,
But I can I ask you one question, why did
Dallas hire him?

Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
I'm not even gonna sit here and pretend I know.
I don't know, Jille, that was a questionable hire. I
hired that I would never have expected to happen.

Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
I mean, I don't know. I'm not even gonna say
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
He's been fired a few I mean, look, they could
they have lightning in a bottle. Sure, it's very possible.

Speaker 1 (01:09:38):
Uh. If he's anything like his dad, Hey, he's he's
gonna go a lot of places.

Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
But he's been around the league for a long time, Brady,
And it makes you wonder why didn't anyone else get
him a job? Because I heard his name floating around,
but like six seven years ago, right like it's it's
been a while for him to get a job.

Speaker 1 (01:09:57):
I thought.

Speaker 2 (01:09:58):
It does feel like Jerry is going to be control him.
That's what Jerry likes. Jerry wants to control his head coaches.
He wants to undermine them.

Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
Brudy.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
He says, Oh, don't worry about the coach, just come
to me and talk to me. This is what Jerry does.
Why would you want to be a head coach for
a team like that. It's the Cowboys, it's the Star, and.

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
It's all anyway. July rolls around and Bill takes over.

Speaker 2 (01:10:27):
First of all, Bill and his girlfriend are doing interviews
seemed like across the country these days.

Speaker 3 (01:10:32):
I don't even know why they're doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
With that Fred, this whole thing with Bill, I'm interested.
I really want to watch Carolina football next year.

Speaker 1 (01:10:43):
What what the heck is? What product? I know Bill
can coach, That's not the issue here.

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
This is he's coaching college players very different from NFL players. Also,
n i L is that it's not like the regular
college it's n i L football, And I know there's
money in Carolina, but I'm just curious what is that
going to look like.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
I'm very intrigued and also Dione with Colorado. I don't
talk about college football right now, but there are a
lot of storylines heading into next season.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
And my Georgia Bulldogs, it's time to come back. It's
time to put the big ten back in their place.
I'm getting tired of this. And also one last thing, Yeah,
what are the Indiana Hoosiers doing next year, Rudy, because
that was talk about a season to remember?

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
Do they? Man?

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
College football is I mean it's literally.

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
They could take us black. They do have the kid,
the Mendoza from Cal who had good year. I remember
he went on the road and beat Auburn, which is
not really saying much. But I can't wait for I
love college football is like, I just can't wait. But anyway, yeah,

(01:12:00):
Bill Belichick, gretty, I don't ah, Man, that's that could
be a flat out disaster or it could be successful.

Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
I mean, we'll see before we go.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
Does Bill Belichick finish the season at Carolina?

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
I gotta know this. I I want to say yeah,
because they put a lot of money. How much are
they paying him? I don't remember off hand.

Speaker 3 (01:12:26):
The one thing I do remember is come July he
has a million dollar buyout.

Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
So that's nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:12:36):
Any NFL team will pay a million dollars to buy
it out.

Speaker 1 (01:12:39):
So that's why I asked you. But is it too late?
Is it? I mean, Ruddy, you're it's July, I.

Speaker 3 (01:12:46):
Mean off seasons. You know you're you're in training camp.

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
The thing about Bill is he's he's rigged, he's rugged.
If he comes into that situation, he doesn't know his players.
I mean he still needs to watch film.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
I mean, I I don't know. And then the staff ruddy.
I'm sure he's gonna write.

Speaker 4 (01:13:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
Josh McDaniel, Josh mcdan, where is he at again? He went?
Any questions I have? I don't even know.

Speaker 3 (01:13:14):
I kind of I kind of quit paying attention to
Josh McDaniels after the Bronco fiasco.

Speaker 1 (01:13:22):
Josh McDaniels, he is, I'm gonna skeep my comments of myself.

Speaker 3 (01:13:30):
We'll find out if Bill Belichick last the entire season.

Speaker 1 (01:13:34):
Caroline, we should make a bet. Like the running joke
is how long is gonna last? Because Mac Brown? Remember
ready he was he was coaching, but then he wasn't coaching.
It was weird like he like disappeared. It's like because
you because you had that but uh, flat out that
loss against what's that small school? Ready, it was not

(01:13:54):
our Corna, it was not Appellation. It well you're almost
lost to them two years ago. Yeah, No, it's the
school that the coach of Indiana used to coach at
oh James Madison those six touchdowns. Yeah, it was James Madison.
I do remember.

Speaker 3 (01:14:14):
Well, we'll have to make a bet next week.

Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
I don't know if you will be back on tomorrow.
I think Jacob Eric's taking over tomorrow. We'll find out.
But again, we'll be back. Real quick announcement before we go.
