Speaker 2 (01:12):
You know, if you've ever been in a car accident
or motorcycle accident, or maybe you've been bitten by a dog,
it's very hard to trust the insurance company. That's why
you need legal representation. That's why you need Sweet James.
So give him a call at eight hundred and nine million.
That's eight hundred nine zero zeros hero zero zero zero.
So you're a guy that likes to collect action figures
(01:34):
things like that, well, I know where this is going.
And uh yeah, I mean to a certain degree. Yes,
I do enjoy some figurines. I'm with you, by the way,
some are still in the box as you know. But
I do not have any interest in the Lebron James
Barbie Doll. Why not, don't want it. I don't own
(01:58):
any Barbies. And if I was, that was not That's
not gonna be the first the Lebron James Barbie Doll
Can Ambassador Ken Bassador, not a god Canbassador. They made
a Venus Williams a long time ago. And I think
a soccer player Mary Fowler, if that's strikes, I don't
(02:19):
know who that is. Australian soccer player. Those are the
only two athletes that they've done other than now. Lebron
James has a and he's wearing a hound's tooth pair
of pants like Bear Bryant right, got a pair of
blue shoes on. He's wearing a letterman's jacket. It says
(02:44):
just a kid from Akron on the back of the
letterman jacket.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
What is he doing? Man?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
He has a merse, a man purse on, you know,
like over the shoulder merse, which a lot of men
are wearing these days, Like.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Is that gallifanakison hangover immrse.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And then he's got a hat with a crown on it,
just to make sure you know that he is the
king of basketball. And he's got a full head of hair,
which is a damn lie. And he's got like a
bushy feyroh beard and from far away, when you first
(03:21):
look at it, it kind of looks like the sheen
on the beard makes it salt and pepper, But that
is just the sheen on the plastic like beard oil
it is it is. He does not have a gray
speckled beard. And he's oh, he's got a pair of
sunglasses that you can put on him as an accessory
(03:45):
that he's holding in his hands.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Who would buy this? Who would buy this?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Well, there's a total market. There's even a name for them.
Lebron sexuals would buy this.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Wow, I didn't realize that was a thing. Well, yeah,
it's a total thing, aren't you ever? On X the
Lebron sectional not not that section.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
In fact, there are some very out in the open,
out uncloseted Lebron sexuals right in the media. That Nick Right,
guy that looks like squid word Nick Right from CNN. No,
the one on uh you know the one on FS
one or whatever. Oh yeah, yeah that guy. Yeah, yeah,
nice guy like ironed hair. He looks not pimp.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Who is the guy that used to do with the
show on CNN? Not Nick Right?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
What the hell was his name way back in the day,
like the old sports show on CNN, John Fricky? No,
but Nick Right? I know you're talking to.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Barry Lebron formerly known as Barry Diamond.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
What the hell was the name of that damn show?
God darn it, he used to air all the CNN.
It was Fred Hickman and somebody else who did the
show with Fred Hickman.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
I have no idea, Softy, Come on.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I'm sorry, go ahead, continue, Well, I just it's uh,
Nick Charles, Nick Charles, there you go.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Doesn't do anything for me, there either nothing.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
But I'm sure that many of your listeners it's seventy
five dollars for the Lebron thing, and it's it's three
hundred right now in.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Some eBay world.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Wow, So you two can get a Lebron action figure
and have a great time. I mean I have action figures, yeah,
and Lebron's got a lot of fans, you know. I
have action figures of some you know, people would consider
relatively obscure things, and Lebron James is not obscure in
the least. So maybe there's a market for this. I
(05:35):
don't think it's little girls. And of course, you know,
the first thing you do when you get an action figure,
you know that has real pants like a Barbie, is
you pull the pants down and see what's popping. But
I'm sure the action figures it's normally the same thing.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yeah. I think that he's got, you know, just in
the same factory spandex on or something. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, Well, I'm just disappointed to know that you're not
going to be adding the uh what do they call
it Kenbassador Lebron, Well, you know that I barbie all
to your collection and it looks like the flood's coming
in on his on his legs. You know those real
high riding pants. What would what would Fletcher do if
you bought one of these for his birthday? Or he
probably well he laughed. I mean he he likes Lebron
(06:19):
or likes some more than I do. So he was
not the Lebron shoes because no one wanted him and
they were on sale. He's not taken after his pop
stands where you're telling me, no, he's more of a
Laker fan. He doesn't really care. He just wants some
play video games. Yeah, well, I thought that was hilarious
when I saw that come out today, I figured you
would ask me about it. I talked about it yesterday.
(06:39):
That's how on top of the Lebron sexual game, I am. Well,
I was talking to your buddy Hu Millan about this
and he made a great point. He's like, and you've
already got you know, hundreds of millions. I mean, is
he a billionaire? He's not a billionaire, is he Lebron?
I probably is he a billionaire? Million company lost a
lot of money but you know that they put this
behind the Lebron James Foundation. So they said that a
(07:01):
lot of the money of this is going to go
to his school in Akron, where the test scores are
incredibly low?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Are they really? Yes? I believe so. Kids don't do
well at his school.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I don't think that it is a school for kids
that read good. As they said in Sulander, what is
this a.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
School for ants? Come on, man? But once they leave
the school they read good?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh of course, yeah, right, without a doubt. I just
have low they have notoriously low test scores. It's not
a story I'm making up.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Look it up. Yeah, well, I'm.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Sure when they show up there, no, no, no, just
look it up. Well, I gotta tell you, how were
kids supposed to learn to read? I can't even get
through the door.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I don't don't.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I didn't retain anything from high school at all, nothing whatsoever.
I've learned more on Twitter and social media than I
ever didn't not even like to kill a mockingbird or
piece with finny or red assphalt. I noticed that I
I realized after I graduated high school that I have
a severe case of attention deficit disorder. Yes, whether I
(08:14):
didn't learn a damn thing because I wasn't paying attention. Well,
don't you wish that we grew up in a different
time so they would diagnose us and drug us up
like zombies?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Absolutely? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I would have loved to have what the hell was
rowing me? Everyone just called me a spaz. Now I
know there was something really going on there. I'm sure
you had the same problem. Yes, Softy, I had the
same problem. But do you really need to walk down
memory lane? Is that what we're really here for?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Well? What else are we here for?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
The Mariners stink we got You're the one that's at
a bar cracking seasons over?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Spring football is going on.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We're gonna be out at you dubb tomorrow, by the way,
with Demid Williams, who's going to be in New York
City for the Heisman Trophy. You can book that baby,
best quarterback in the Big Ten. You ever see this
guy play? Do you watch your sons year? Forgive me
if I don't book that baby here in April for
your unproven quarterback to.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Go to the Heisman ceremony.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Tore up Louisville's ass and the sun ball. So did
Miller Moss and Miller Moss tore up Louisville's ass in
the Holiday Bowl last year. And what happened to Miller
Moss about halfway through the season at USC, Well, he transferred, right,
He's gone exactly right. They found another guy, Jade in
my ava, Well maybe Miller, maybe Demando transfer when Jed
(09:34):
Fish is the next head coach at South Carolina. Tearing
up I'm just saying, tearing up the the Louisville Cardinals,
which is a mascot that has teeth, a bird with teeth,
which I've always appreciated, predator, But tearing up the Louisville
Cardinals does not necessarily mean you know you're going to
the Heisman in New York. But people said the same
(09:56):
thing about Miller Moss last year, and they talked about
how Team Martin won the championship after Peyton Manning was
gone and all that. But I don't think that's gonna
happen with your guy. But you know, I hope he
has a great year, and I hope Fish has a
great time coaching.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
The I think he's think I think he's legit. Though,
this kid man I got, I got to feel about it.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I thought the kid from Morregon State and went to
Michigan State was legit. And I know they had some
serious offensive line problems, but maturity level, he wasn't ready,
you know Chiles Aiden Chiles right, And and that kid
ran dj On of Oregon State. He he was the
top transfer quarterback and Michigan State landed him. And it
(10:43):
might have created some unrealistic expectations for Jonathan Smith and
East Lansing in his first year with a lot of
coaches that you and I know and respect. But yeah,
I mean I thought that guy was going to be awesome,
you know, and he regressed as the year went on.
I always wonder, Petros, if Jonathan Smith had waited until
after Calen de Boor left to go to Alabama, he'd
(11:04):
be your coach?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Would he be the Husky coach right now? You know?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
He absolutely would be. Yeah, he absolutely would be. But
you have to give Michigan State credit. You know, they
they were on it early. They knew they were gonna
have a new coach because their coach was caught on
the you know, on the phone.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
So y'all are giving me a lot of edits right now.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
That's nothing, not even an ad dude, you guys are
such weedies.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Way, don't blame me, man, I just work here. I'd
let it all go if it were up to me.
Are you kidding me? Isn't that what happened? Brother? That
dumb ass mel Tucker?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Dude, if you're gonna do that, and look, do whatever
you gotta do. I'm not one to pass judgment on anybody,
as I'm sure you agree. You want you want to
do that type of thing, than do that type of
thing whatever makes whatever gets you going. But you're gonna
do it with the most high profile rape survivor that
the sports world.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Maybe has ever seen, in Brenda Tracy. I don't I
just mean, what the hell, dude?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Whatever had happened, it opened the door for Michigan State
to go find it, find his nature.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Did they ever pay him off? Do we know?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Do they have to pay him the seventy five because
don't they have like a rich alumber. I'm sure it's
still in the guy or whatever. I'm sure it's still
it's still in the cards or in the courts or
or whatever, just like everything else. But well, yes, I
think Jonathan Smith would have been the coach at Washington,
and I think that he would probably be better off,
as staff would probably be better off, and I think
(12:46):
you guys would probably be better off.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
I don't know about that. I don't know either.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
We'll see you at the High I don't know yet
in New York City.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Hell yeah you will, baby, you take.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
The next stop to Columbia, South Carolina. How about uh,
we you know we got we got all these mock drafts.
I know you're a big mock draft guy. We have
our annual mock draft two weeks from today. Well, you
got a new draft every day. I mean, so many
people downloaded.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
How could I not you got you got two weeks
from today.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
You'll have the day off because we're gonna have our
annual Mother Millen mock Draft twenty six years in a row,
where we invite listeners to come down and make picks
and we award prizes. And this year's prize is one
thousand dollars voucher to Delta Airlines.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
That's pretty cool. That's not the most tedious show of
the year at all. Why would you say that. I
don't know. I'm just saying it's not.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
But you're you're yeah, I can it's you're dripping with
sarcasts I don't know. You can't tell if I'm being sarcastic,
totally tells. Look, I can hear you breathe it. I
don't know, you cannot and I can. I don't think
it's tedious at all. You know what up yours man?
We put a lot of effort and you get a
day off. Thanks, you get the You know I'm gonna
(13:58):
make you do the show on Tuesday that.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I'd be happy to. How's that? Ask me who I
would pick taking shots at our mock draft?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Oh wow, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Hurt my feelings many Well, why don't you call mel
Tucker with that dirty mount? A lot of people are wondering, though,
if Schador's there at eighteen.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
I mean you know Chador, right, you covered Schador a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I know Jeff frankcoor uh the pitcher, he's an outfielder.
Would you be nervous would you? Yeah, the baseball player?
Would you be nervous about draftings Shador Sanders?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Yeah, for a few reasons. Why because of Dion?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Well yeah, you're gonna have to deal with that and
then the whole media thing around it. But I mean
he's a football player. What's a big deal. A lot
of football players are coffee.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I don't really.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Know what kind of leadership he displayed or lack thereof.
You seem like a pretty good quarterback to me. I
don't think he's as athletic as far as running around
and getting away from people as as you might need
to be as that style of quarterback in the modern NFL.
I mean, he's a drop back guy. They had a
terrible old line, so he was off his spot a lot.
(15:13):
That might have something to do with with some of
that evaluation. Millan said, his sack tape is the worst
sack tape has ever seen, like ever. That's running into
sacks and spitting around and doing all kinds of wacky stuff.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
And yeah, and you see that line for that, right,
I Mean we saw that, uh.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
When uh with Caleb Williams a lot too, right, especially
when things started to go bad at USC and every
once in a while he'd make a spectacular play. But
as we all know, it's nothing really to build your
offense around. But I mean, if you draft Shador, you're
not going to build your offense around him running around, right,
I mean you're going to build your offense in around
(15:59):
timing and the way most offenses are built. So he's
the gross style quarterback is nah? Yeah, And I think
he is a pro quarterback. I mean, there's no doubt
that he proved that he should be drafted. But as
far as being the best quarterback in the draft, or
one of the best quarterbacks we've seen in the draft
in a long time, I don't think he's that.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Well.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I don't think anybody in this draft is that. The
funny thing is is that Cougar fan? Why are you
trying to make me talk about it? Then? I just
want to get your analysis. Sorry, I want to get
your analysis of the guy. I mean, you're a you
know how many people bitch at me about this segment, like, God,
you got a college football guy on all you do
is play grab as well, what's the problem? That's all
(16:38):
I really want to do. You really want to talk
about college football? I mean no, I would love to
talk about who really sucks?
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Is that Shiloh? He's probably not even going to get drafted. Now,
what's he up to? Now? Has he done at Colorado?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah, Shiloh's in the draft. Oh, but he's not going
to be drafted.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
You don't think so?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
And he's bankrupt and they're trying to reap is Mercedes.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
You like that, don't you?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
No, I don't care. I'm just reporting the news, just
like the Lebron thing. I don't love the Lebron Barney doll.
But I had all the information for you, didn't I.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
You did, You did, and I knew that you would.
I knew that you would.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
It's like a it's like a Stockholm syndrome thing with
you man and Lebron. James, Well, it really is.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
If he wasn't in LA, I wouldn't care.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I think I think secretly you actually have a strong
affinity for Lebron, but you put on this ruse for
so long that you just cannot give it up.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
You could not be more wrong. I think you respect
the man privately, absolutely not as an athlete.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Sure, all right, you gotta go, all right, softy, Well,
have a great night. Come back next week and then
take take the take mock Draft day. I sure will,
and tell mal I said, hello, be here to download
the mock draft as well. When it's over. You might
learn something, Pal, I will. I'll go over in a

Speaker 2 (05:04):
But I'm sure that many of your listeners it's seventy
five dollars for the Lebron thing, and it's it's three
hundred right now in.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Some eBay world.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Wow, So you two can get a Lebron action figure
and have a great time. I mean I have action figures, yeah,
and Lebron's got a lot of fans, you know. I
have action figures of some you know, people would consider
relatively obscure things, and Lebron James is not obscure in
the least. So maybe there's a market for this. I
(05:35):
don't think it's little girls. And of course, you know,
the first thing you do when you get an action figure,
you know that has real pants like a Barbie, is
you pull the pants down and see what's popping. But
I'm sure the action figures it's normally the same thing.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yeah. I think that he's got, you know, just in
the same factory spandex on or something. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, Well, I'm just disappointed to know that you're not
going to be adding the uh what do they call
it Kenbassador Lebron, Well, you know that I barbie all
to your collection and it looks like the flood's coming
in on his on his legs. You know those real
high riding pants. What would what would Fletcher do if
you bought one of these for his birthday? Or he
probably well he laughed. I mean he he likes Lebron
(06:19):
or likes some more than I do. So he was
not the Lebron shoes because no one wanted him and
they were on sale. He's not taken after his pop
stands where you're telling me, no, he's more of a
Laker fan. He doesn't really care. He just wants some
play video games. Yeah, well, I thought that was hilarious
when I saw that come out today, I figured you
would ask me about it. I talked about it yesterday.
(06:39):
That's how on top of the Lebron sexual game, I am. Well,
I was talking to your buddy Hu Millan about this
and he made a great point. He's like, and you've
already got you know, hundreds of millions. I mean, is
he a billionaire? He's not a billionaire, is he Lebron?
I probably is he a billionaire? Million company lost a
lot of money but you know that they put this
behind the Lebron James Foundation. So they said that a
(07:01):
lot of the money of this is going to go
to his school in Akron, where the test scores are
incredibly low?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Are they really? Yes? I believe so. Kids don't do
well at his school.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I don't think that it is a school for kids
that read good. As they said in Sulander, what is
this a.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
School for ants? Come on, man? But once they leave
the school they read good?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh of course, yeah, right, without a doubt. I just
have low they have notoriously low test scores. It's not
a story I'm making up.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Look it up. Yeah, well, I'm.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Sure when they show up there, no, no, no, just
look it up. Well, I gotta tell you, how were
kids supposed to learn to read? I can't even get
through the door.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I don't don't.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I didn't retain anything from high school at all, nothing whatsoever.
I've learned more on Twitter and social media than I
ever didn't not even like to kill a mockingbird or
piece with finny or red assphalt. I noticed that I
I realized after I graduated high school that I have
a severe case of attention deficit disorder. Yes, whether I
(08:14):
didn't learn a damn thing because I wasn't paying attention. Well,
don't you wish that we grew up in a different
time so they would diagnose us and drug us up
like zombies?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Absolutely? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I would have loved to have what the hell was
rowing me? Everyone just called me a spaz. Now I
know there was something really going on there. I'm sure
you had the same problem. Yes, Softy, I had the
same problem. But do you really need to walk down
memory lane? Is that what we're really here for?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Well? What else are we here for?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
The Mariners stink we got You're the one that's at
a bar cracking seasons over?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Spring football is going on.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We're gonna be out at you dubb tomorrow, by the way,
with Demid Williams, who's going to be in New York
City for the Heisman Trophy. You can book that baby,
best quarterback in the Big Ten. You ever see this
guy play? Do you watch your sons year? Forgive me
if I don't book that baby here in April for
your unproven quarterback to.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Go to the Heisman ceremony.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Tore up Louisville's ass and the sun ball. So did
Miller Moss and Miller Moss tore up Louisville's ass in
the Holiday Bowl last year. And what happened to Miller
Moss about halfway through the season at USC, Well, he transferred, right,
He's gone exactly right. They found another guy, Jade in
my ava, Well maybe Miller, maybe Demando transfer when Jed
(09:34):
Fish is the next head coach at South Carolina. Tearing
up I'm just saying, tearing up the the Louisville Cardinals,
which is a mascot that has teeth, a bird with teeth,
which I've always appreciated, predator, But tearing up the Louisville
Cardinals does not necessarily mean you know you're going to
the Heisman in New York. But people said the same
(09:56):
thing about Miller Moss last year, and they talked about
how Team Martin won the championship after Peyton Manning was
gone and all that. But I don't think that's gonna
happen with your guy. But you know, I hope he
has a great year, and I hope Fish has a
great time coaching.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
The I think he's think I think he's legit. Though,
this kid man I got, I got to feel about it.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I thought the kid from Morregon State and went to
Michigan State was legit. And I know they had some
serious offensive line problems, but maturity level, he wasn't ready,
you know Chiles Aiden Chiles right, And and that kid
ran dj On of Oregon State. He he was the
top transfer quarterback and Michigan State landed him. And it
(10:43):
might have created some unrealistic expectations for Jonathan Smith and
East Lansing in his first year with a lot of
coaches that you and I know and respect. But yeah,
I mean I thought that guy was going to be awesome,
you know, and he regressed as the year went on.
I always wonder, Petros, if Jonathan Smith had waited until
after Calen de Boor left to go to Alabama, he'd
(11:04):
be your coach?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Would he be the Husky coach right now? You know?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
He absolutely would be. Yeah, he absolutely would be. But
you have to give Michigan State credit. You know, they
they were on it early. They knew they were gonna
have a new coach because their coach was caught on
the you know, on the phone.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
So y'all are giving me a lot of edits right now.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
That's nothing, not even an ad dude, you guys are
such weedies.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Way, don't blame me, man, I just work here. I'd
let it all go if it were up to me.
Are you kidding me? Isn't that what happened? Brother? That
dumb ass mel Tucker?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Dude, if you're gonna do that, and look, do whatever
you gotta do. I'm not one to pass judgment on anybody,
as I'm sure you agree. You want you want to
do that type of thing, than do that type of
thing whatever makes whatever gets you going. But you're gonna
do it with the most high profile rape survivor that
the sports world.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Maybe has ever seen, in Brenda Tracy. I don't I
just mean, what the hell, dude?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Whatever had happened, it opened the door for Michigan State
to go find it, find his nature.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Did they ever pay him off? Do we know?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Do they have to pay him the seventy five because
don't they have like a rich alumber. I'm sure it's
still in the guy or whatever. I'm sure it's still
it's still in the cards or in the courts or
or whatever, just like everything else. But well, yes, I
think Jonathan Smith would have been the coach at Washington,
and I think that he would probably be better off,
as staff would probably be better off, and I think
(12:46):
you guys would probably be better off.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
I don't know about that. I don't know either.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
We'll see you at the High I don't know yet
in New York City.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Hell yeah you will, baby, you take.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
The next stop to Columbia, South Carolina. How about uh,
we you know we got we got all these mock drafts.
I know you're a big mock draft guy. We have
our annual mock draft two weeks from today. Well, you
got a new draft every day. I mean, so many
people downloaded.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
How could I not you got you got two weeks
from today.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
You'll have the day off because we're gonna have our
annual Mother Millen mock Draft twenty six years in a row,
where we invite listeners to come down and make picks
and we award prizes. And this year's prize is one
thousand dollars voucher to Delta Airlines.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
That's pretty cool. That's not the most tedious show of
the year at all. Why would you say that. I
don't know. I'm just saying it's not.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
But you're you're yeah, I can it's you're dripping with
sarcasts I don't know. You can't tell if I'm being sarcastic,
totally tells. Look, I can hear you breathe it. I
don't know, you cannot and I can. I don't think
it's tedious at all. You know what up yours man?
We put a lot of effort and you get a
day off. Thanks, you get the You know I'm gonna
(13:58):
make you do the show on Tuesday that.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I'd be happy to. How's that? Ask me who I
would pick taking shots at our mock draft?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Oh wow, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Hurt my feelings many Well, why don't you call mel
Tucker with that dirty mount? A lot of people are wondering, though,
if Schador's there at eighteen.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
I mean you know Chador, right, you covered Schador a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I know Jeff frankcoor uh the pitcher, he's an outfielder.
Would you be nervous would you? Yeah, the baseball player?
Would you be nervous about draftings Shador Sanders?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Yeah, for a few reasons. Why because of Dion?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Well yeah, you're gonna have to deal with that and
then the whole media thing around it. But I mean
he's a football player. What's a big deal. A lot
of football players are coffee.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I don't really.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Know what kind of leadership he displayed or lack thereof.
You seem like a pretty good quarterback to me. I
don't think he's as athletic as far as running around
and getting away from people as as you might need
to be as that style of quarterback in the modern NFL.
I mean, he's a drop back guy. They had a
terrible old line, so he was off his spot a lot.
(15:13):
That might have something to do with with some of
that evaluation. Millan said, his sack tape is the worst
sack tape has ever seen, like ever. That's running into
sacks and spitting around and doing all kinds of wacky stuff.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
And yeah, and you see that line for that, right,
I Mean we saw that, uh.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
When uh with Caleb Williams a lot too, right, especially
when things started to go bad at USC and every
once in a while he'd make a spectacular play. But
as we all know, it's nothing really to build your
offense around. But I mean, if you draft Shador, you're
not going to build your offense around him running around, right,
I mean you're going to build your offense in around
(15:59):
timing and the way most offenses are built. So he's
the gross style quarterback is nah? Yeah, And I think
he is a pro quarterback. I mean, there's no doubt
that he proved that he should be drafted. But as
far as being the best quarterback in the draft, or
one of the best quarterbacks we've seen in the draft
in a long time, I don't think he's that.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Well.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I don't think anybody in this draft is that. The
funny thing is is that Cougar fan? Why are you
trying to make me talk about it? Then? I just
want to get your analysis. Sorry, I want to get
your analysis of the guy. I mean, you're a you
know how many people bitch at me about this segment, like, God,
you got a college football guy on all you do
is play grab as well, what's the problem? That's all
(16:38):
I really want to do. You really want to talk
about college football? I mean no, I would love to
talk about who really sucks?
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Is that Shiloh? He's probably not even going to get drafted. Now,
what's he up to? Now? Has he done at Colorado?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah, Shiloh's in the draft. Oh, but he's not going
to be drafted.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
You don't think so?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
And he's bankrupt and they're trying to reap is Mercedes.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
You like that, don't you?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
No, I don't care. I'm just reporting the news, just
like the Lebron thing. I don't love the Lebron Barney doll.
But I had all the information for you, didn't I.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
You did, You did, and I knew that you would.
I knew that you would.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
It's like a it's like a Stockholm syndrome thing with
you man and Lebron. James, Well, it really is.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
If he wasn't in LA, I wouldn't care.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I think I think secretly you actually have a strong
affinity for Lebron, but you put on this ruse for
so long that you just cannot give it up.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
You could not be more wrong. I think you respect
the man privately, absolutely not as an athlete.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Sure, all right, you gotta go, all right, softy, Well,
have a great night. Come back next week and then
take take the take mock Draft day. I sure will,
and tell mal I said, hello, be here to download
the mock draft as well. When it's over. You might
learn something, Pal, I will. I'll go over in a
couple of times.
Speaker 4 (17:54):

got a lot more to get to, including Gary Kubiak.
