Introduction and Personal Updates
00:00:02
Speaker
What's good, everybody? Welcome in to another episode of Land Grant Podcast Network's IED Football Show. As always, I'm your host, Jordan. I'm here with my co-host, Dante. Yes, sir. How's it going, man? You know, I'm all right.
00:00:16
Speaker
I'm I'm I'm little stressed out because I've had a it's been a crazy couple of weeks at work. I believe it. um I couldn't stop myself from opening the show this way. So ah I'm better than old boy who was trying to out Steve Smith senior.
00:00:34
Speaker
I'll tell you that. Wait, what? I said I'm better than old boy. I couldn't stop myself from opening the show that way. i am much better than him. I'll tell you that right now.
Social Media and Public Reactions
00:00:45
Speaker
um I forgot all about that. I can't complain. You're the reason I... Well, I mean, technically, I probably would have seen it no matter what. Oh, yeah, you would have saw about it. was like, what is this dude talking about?
00:00:56
Speaker
um I'm doing better than him so I can't complain. Although, ah my job is trying to stress me out these last couple of weeks. And I'm like, come on, bro. We're not doing this. We're not doing this.
00:01:07
Speaker
Yeah, he was going through it. I do find it funny that everybody was like, you going about this wrong. I was like, y'all ain't never had your wife cheat on you. There's no real white rate way of going about it. like A crash out is a crash out. I'm sorry. like my My thing is this, and this is where i leave it.
00:01:26
Speaker
I still think he went about it wrong because that entire situation seemed complimentary of the person that he was mad at.
00:01:37
Speaker
So it's just like, you give a him free promo and you are not doing nothing for yourself. You couldn't waterboard that out of me. Oh, no. It's just... you You're not wrong. The bad part is just like... Because the internet will never really take something like that, like a manga that you're going seriously. It's always going to be jokes, whether they come to the internet or not. Because like...
00:02:04
Speaker
it's not like we're going to come behind. like we if they Other people aren't going to come behind for a man and be like, yeah, no, he got wronged and stuff like for other people. So it's just it's always going to be jokes. I felt like he did go about it wrong, but like i can't I can't question or not why he did it. I mean, like,
00:02:24
Speaker
Who's in their right mind? Listen, I'm not questioning why he did it. I'm not saying he didn't have the right to respond however he wanted to. I'm not saying he shouldn't have went to Twitter.
00:02:36
Speaker
i'm just saying i'm not like I'm just saying it wasn't effective.
NFL Rule Changes and Innovations
00:02:40
Speaker
yeah no know When you were in that moment, I don't expect you to be thinking rationally. yeah like I'm not saying, oh, you should have did that. You should have did this. you like I don't care about none of that.
00:02:50
Speaker
I'm just saying, personally, you couldn't have waterboarded that out of me. That's all I'm saying. The one thing he said that scared me when he was like, I have nothing to lose. i was like, oh my God.
00:03:00
Speaker
yes brother Because that could be anything. That could be anything. He's don't care what y'all think. I have nothing to lose. It was like, you're not wrong. You already lost your wife. There's really nothing else to lose.
00:03:15
Speaker
Or there's people who's like, y'all expect a man to turn down coochie being thrown at him? I'm like, honestly, yes. it's It's really not that hard to say no.
00:03:28
Speaker
It's actually exhilarating. like It's just so sad.
00:03:32
Speaker
I'm not going to give my opinion on that on this podcast. I will tell you after. I know you're going to disagree with me, but i'm not we cannot go down that rabbit hole here. no. oh no Yeah, yeah. so He is married, too, so I wouldn't say that. Yeah, yeah. I just thought it was funny. I mean, poor him, right? I'm not laughing at his pain.
00:03:53
Speaker
I'm not laughing at the jokes. Yeah, I'm laughing at the jokes and the fact that just like, dog, that is that is that's more like, again, I don't expect him to be rational, but especially when he had him on the phone and he was like, you be on Fox News or whatever, you be on these, but like, you thought he was goingnna get fired?
00:04:11
Speaker
Yeah. He went into work and got dapped up. That's complimentary, personally. And that's that's the only thing. Like, again, you know, whatever. Which is crazy because it's like, i mean, Tiger Woods lost sponsorships for cheating. So, like, why shouldn't he lose his job? Why not? i see I see where he was going with it.
00:04:28
Speaker
But it was never going to work. Yeah, except the problem is... Never mind. I'm not going to say Tiger Woods shouldn't have lost sponsorship because there may be some other things that I don't remember to that story. But, yeah, I just... ah I'm doing better than him. That's all all I wanted to say.
00:04:42
Speaker
So far. So, yeah. We don't get into the show. we we We have a couple of things to talk about. Sort of. Sort of. Kind of. ah One thing that I thought was interesting, and this is one of the benefits to... um to recording on Thursdays as well to Wednesday, but Thursday is actually even better, but recording a little bit later is you start to get a little bit of news. And so I think today the NFL dropped some hints at some of the things that they are going to try to implement or are going to implement for the 2025 season. They always have like a rules sort of get together at the combine.
00:05:20
Speaker
And then they have official rule meeting like a little bit later where everything's like finalized, but essentially, So I'm going to try to get through this article. I was literally just telling Dante before we recorded, like, I really wish somebody would bullet point these things at some point in the article so you don't have to try to read it each time.
00:05:36
Speaker
But here are a couple of things that I thought were interesting. So they're going to six tracking cameras to every stadium to help with expedited line to gain measurement and another 12 fixed cameras along sidelines, inlines, and goal lines to bolster the amount of angles.
00:05:52
Speaker
that replay officials will have available to ensure correct calls and placements are made during games. um They're going to consider, which I think people already knew this, but they're going to consider expanding the number of plays that replay assist will cover in the forms of backup. So including like, I know a roughing the passer is one that they want to potentially add for replay assist. And that one needs to be there because I mean, replay assist doesn't mean going to get it right, but sometimes refs just see like,
00:06:20
Speaker
a big hit and they're like roughing the passer and it's like dog that was legal you're allowed to hit them hard you just can't hit them high or low or as you land on them right like but there is still a way to hit them there is still a legal way to hit them hard as long as you just don't do anything else yeah yeah um Let's see. What else? What else? What else? What else? Yeah.
00:06:45
Speaker
So, rough in the passer, unnecessary roughness on hits against runners out of bounds. Shout out to Patrick Mahomes. Intentional grounding in illegal men downfield are all going to be. He's not the only one.
00:06:55
Speaker
I know. i I said that as a joke because that doesn't bother me at all, but everyone's like mad at Mahomes. So, I mean, you've got to game the system. Some way he's not doing nothing illegal. Don't hit him. Yeah, because he's not. Or hit him. Right, because the thing is, is that I think he took that from Josh. don't Probably.
00:07:13
Speaker
Let's see when that's what else. ah There's a couple other things in here. ah Talk about the push push. don't care about that. That doesn't need to be changed. Stop adding rules to everything.
00:07:24
Speaker
ah They... The reason why... So the reason why they're probably going to be looking at that is because it is... they they find it to be dangerous to the defensive players because the offensive linemen and stuff are really just going at knees and stuff like that. And that's why it's being looked at.
00:07:49
Speaker
that's why I do find it funny that everybody thinks it's the Chiefs that brought it up when it was the Packers. It was the Packers. Did they get injured? I think two of their defensive players did. But like they just yeah just like a lot of teams, they don't like the tush push.
00:08:04
Speaker
Gotcha. Yeah. It's really an unstoppable play. Yeah. And I remember how ah Washington, that Washington player just kept jumping off sides. Cause that's really the only way to stop it is if I time it and jump over your line to get your quarterback.
00:08:20
Speaker
That's the only way I can stop it. Yeah. ah So yeah, they're doing the line, the game, they're going be testing the line, the game and with the UFL, cause the Michigan Panthers are the only team in the NFL stadium. So they're going to be testing it there. Hmm.
00:08:34
Speaker
the They're also going to test out 14.
00:08:41
Speaker
what the hell is this ah the ah They will test out implementation of another 14 incremental cameras for the use of Skeletrack system that is designed to assist with ball and player tracking, which would support officials, but it remains unknown if that system will be ready for use in the coming season.
00:08:57
Speaker
What does that even mean? I think it's just, oh I don't know. It's not like a bunch of gobbledygook. Yeah. All I'm saying is pretty soon it's going to be not fun to go watch these games in camp in person.
00:09:09
Speaker
I was going to say all those cameras. So like that is something to worry about. So got like one more season before I get annoyed going to cool. Basically. Basically. um Yeah, they're still going to have the chain gangs, of course. but the and so essentially, the initial ball placement will be will remain in the hand of the ref.
00:09:28
Speaker
The chain gang, which is always accurate because it's just 10 yards, it's still going to be there. But once the ball is spotted, there'll be quick replay assist to confirm the accuracy of placement. But and in most cases, the accuracy is right.
00:09:41
Speaker
So it's really just like having that time for those moments where it's not. Yeah. Because you're like, you're like wow, they really pushed that back or they really put that forward. Right. So, yeah, I feel like I feel like 80% of the time they won't do it. But when it's egregious, they'll have the ability.
00:09:56
Speaker
And honestly, it's probably one of those things that they won't do at all. It'll probably just be on like. I wonder if it's words it's like those. I wonder if you if you could ah you can really challenge placement already. So never mind. Yeah.
00:10:06
Speaker
Yeah. ah They're also going to supposedly make tweaks to the kickoff. So they're going to put it at the 30, I believe, it instead of the 35, which is what literally everybody wanted anyway, because yeah the kicker's legs are too strong. Like you put it the 35 and the coaches were basically. They're kicking field goals.
00:10:22
Speaker
Yeah, it's just like we're going to, you know, we're going to just kick it out the back of the end zone and we'll take the ball at the 35. I was going to say, i was going to say, it because it really, it pretty much took a kickoff and kick return out of the game. Like you, you, you almost took a whole part of special teams out of the game by putting it at the 35.
00:10:39
Speaker
Yeah. Okay, so actually they're trying to do two things. They're trying to put the ball at the 35. So it's currently, currently they kick from the 35 and the ball gets placed on the 30. Right.
00:10:51
Speaker
right It goes into the end zone. They're going to flip that, hopefully. Put it on the 30 and if it goes on the end zone, they put it on the 35. Good God, that's great ball. yeah which means you better not kick it out the end of zone yeah yeah okay in zone yeah um ah ah okay so we might see returns again i like that basically yep ah What else is that? it that's basically yeah that's That's basically it. So um we'll see which ones they actually approve. The camera thing is happening immediately because they don't need to approve that. But like the kickoff thing and some of the like rule assist, replay assist things they need to approve. So we'll talk about this again in like two months or whatever, whatever the meeting is. But that that That is one of the news items. The NFL is using some technology to try to get rid of some of the ah sort of annoying parts of the game.
00:11:42
Speaker
And honestly, I think that's what they should do. Like, you know, you may have convinced me with the tush push thing, but I feel like half the time the rules they change is all stupid. And like these these ones are you not for the first time in a while feel like they make sense.
00:11:56
Speaker
Replay is like, like it's, it's soccer can do it. Like, and soccer that they kicking that ball hard and fast as shit and they like hey you was offside you was whatever i don't know why the the nfl can't you know have that either so yeah no especially like especially with the kickoff they they're pretty much fixing a problem they created huh because especially because everyone recommended that they basically do what they're doing now and maybe maybe they didn't say the 35 for if it goes in the end zone but they definitely said you should you should kick off at the 30. and they're basically just like no
00:12:30
Speaker
They're being stupid, as they do. and i saw this Good, then. I'll take
Basketball Legends and Hall of Fame Discussions
00:12:36
Speaker
that. Next piece of news, the White Mamba, Diana Taurasi, is retiring.
00:12:41
Speaker
ah No, no. That is what we call her. Is it? i demands Yes, that's where it came from, specifically. You know what, finally, I'm glad. she'd been in the league too long. I've been saying that for at least two years.
00:12:54
Speaker
Yeah. I've been saying she should have been retiring. I'm not saying because, like, I don't like her because she's a great player. I'm not saying it. It's just, I i am a bit, when it comes to sports, I'm kind of ages at some point, let these kids have their turns, especially in the WNBA.
00:13:14
Speaker
You're really taking up a spot for somebody new yeah because there's not many spots to begin with. So like it it's, it's about time. It's okay. Go if you, if I don't know she has a family, cause I'm not that deep.
00:13:28
Speaker
into a lot of players' lives like that. I'm fairly positive she has kids, but I'm not going to tell you for sure she does. Yeah, like, I'm not sure, but it's okay to go be with your family. She's, like, 43. You're, 43, 44 years old. Yeah, because I think she's older than LeBron.
00:13:43
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, she was in a she she was drafted 2000? 1990-something? No, because he didn't play years. She played, like, two or twenty three so
00:13:58
Speaker
24? I don't know. But yeah, I mean, she's definitely a legend. She's one of the GOATs. um Oh, yeah. Yeah. First Ballot Hall of Famer, of course. Easily. Easily. ah She's 42 years old. Yep. And played 24, 23 years?
00:14:15
Speaker
I'm trying to find out. I'm going to through Wikipedia. Because LeBron was 03. Yeah.
00:14:22
Speaker
but I don't think she was in the 90s. Oh, was drafted in 2004. That don't even sound right. Oh, no, that doesn't make sense, though, because you have to do four years in college. You have to, yeah. this was a year, yeah. yeah i did I knew she hadn't done like that many more years, but so she's she's one year less than LeBron did.
00:14:39
Speaker
But she's older than him because and four years in college. Yeah. yeah And then, of course, he didn't even do a year in college. straight So, yeah, that makes sense.
00:14:50
Speaker
So shout out to DT. She's just retiring. Do you think she'll still play overseas or she's just done done? i think she's done done. Okay, that's that's good. Let those knees rest.
00:15:01
Speaker
Yeah, i don't I don't know how it's going to work because sometimes she gives good analysis and other times she gives... i've Drunk analysis? I think she has, a whether it be podcast or media or whatever, especially since women's... like the they um The viewing and the the infrastructure around women's sports is growing.
00:15:23
Speaker
They're hiring more of these... um I mean, I knew like when they do when they do those. the Pretty much demanding thing. with Yeah. of good Those are during the tournament. dar Yeah, she'll definitely be doing that again, of course. But I imagine she's going to get some sort of if she wants it, she's going to get some sort of media podcast.
00:15:44
Speaker
bro She's not doing a farewell. Terry, like she's not even. Yes, she's a season. OK, OK. Yeah. Yeah. yes And then the last one, i think maybe the whole class has been announced. Maybe it hasn't. I actually think this is going to be a good class, unlike like the last four.
00:15:59
Speaker
ah But Melo was announced as a Hall of Famer. Good. Good. There was no question, but still. I mean, national champion, I think four-time gold medalist.
00:16:11
Speaker
Yeah. ah you know scoring champ a few times. i think 14-time All-Star. Yeah. yeah yeah ah I mean, look, Tracy McGrady and made it. So...
00:16:30
Speaker
Okay. Yeah, I'm not going comment on Tracy McGrady because we both agree on that, and this is going to turn into a thing again that we don't need to have right now. But I can't believe so many. the There's so many people in the Hall of Fame. just so it speak i Oh, we already talked about it, but I'm so glad Eli wasn't the first ballot.
00:16:50
Speaker
Oh, my God. Did we talk about that on here? ah feel like we did, but I'm not sure. I know we talked before. Did we talk about it after it came out? I don't think so, no. Oh, boy. um I'm sick as hell that Reggie keeps not getting in. They're playing him, and that makes no sense.
00:17:06
Speaker
yeah And at a certain point, it's just like, dog, I get it. I get it that that Sterling Sharp was ah the legacy candidate or whatever. He was 25 years out, so he gets in. But when like Sterling Sharp gets in and Reggie doesn't,
00:17:18
Speaker
what saying? And then the year, like, I get it. Whatever, right? Calvin Johnson, Megatron, amazing. I never thought he was going to be first ballot, though. Like, I thought that was going to be his quote-unquote punishment for not playing long enough. Like, I knew he was going to get in. He was too good. And people had, like, oh, is he going to get in? Yes, he's going to get in. But I didn't he going to be first ballot as it's getting quote-unquote. But, like, all of us keep seeing these guys. might have been one of the few people. And it's like, what is going on?
00:17:42
Speaker
I might have been one of the few people that was like, I don't think Megatron should be.
00:17:48
Speaker
But that's just me. I knew he was going to get in, but I just didn't think he should be because he didn't play long enough in my eyes. But, you know. Yeah. i'm not made i'm not I don't have a vote, so don't know.
00:18:00
Speaker
I do not know. Wait, what is going on?
00:18:05
Speaker
Oh, this is...
00:18:10
Speaker
Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. okay Sorry. Sorry. This is a good ah finalist class for the for the Basketball Hall of Fame, but it's because of the people on the women's side.
00:18:21
Speaker
I was reading the men's side, and I was like, ew, ugh, what is going on? I thought this was good. And then I went to the women. I was like, ah, Sue Bird. Like, okay, there's good people there. Oh, Sue's finally up. Okay.
00:18:33
Speaker
So the men's side is Carmelo, duh, right? And then it's Danny Crawford, who's a ref, whatever. Billy Donovan, Who's also a ref. He's a coach. No, he's a coach. He's a coach. He's a coach. Yeah, he's a coach. but like Billy. No, no. Billy Donovan is a really, really good coach. I'm actually I'll take that.
00:18:50
Speaker
I'll take that. Yeah, fine. Mark Few. Who? He's a coach in college somewhere. Okay. He has seven of junior five wins.
00:19:02
Speaker
Two time Naysomist coach of the year. Oof. ah Okay. ah they Were they pressing the straws for men? No, no, no. don't know how you're going to feel about this one because this could go either way for you.
00:19:15
Speaker
Dwight Howard? hu Okay. All right. I thought so, but yeah you never know. so Marcus Johnson? Don't know that. How? Five-time NBA All-Star, three-time NBA champ. I'm feeling He was a 1975 NCAA champion.
00:19:30
Speaker
But he's only a five-time All-Star and three-time All-Star. Whatever. Jerry Welsh, another D3 basketball coach at SUNY Potsdam. All right.
00:19:42
Speaker
Okay. Buck Williams. Is that another coach? No, he's a player. He was the 1982 Rookie of the Year. 82? Oh, my. Dante, bro.
00:19:53
Speaker
They're grasping at us. They didn't have anybody this year. Dante, he averaged 12 points per game and 10 rebounds. Is this in the NBA? Yeah. And you said in the 80s. Is this in the 80s? He was the 1982 Rookie of the Year, so and He for 17 seasons, so 82 to 99 or 2000.
00:20:09
Speaker
he played for seventeen seasons so he played eighty two to ninety nine or two thousand And he averaged 12 points and 10 rebounds. And that is has him as as a final. And he's three-time All-Star, one-time All-NBA.
00:20:25
Speaker
why a rookie of the year, and he has two finals appearances, no champion. How is that a final? You could have easily just said Dwight Holler, Carl Miller, Anthony, Billy Donovan, and I guess the ref and called it a day. Yeah, what are we doing? If you can't get anybody that makes any sense, we don't have to fill out the whole thing.
00:20:44
Speaker
Yeah, and then, hold on. This is, is this the Fighting Hall of Fame? What is going on? The 2008 U.S. Olympics men's basketball team? The whole team?
00:20:56
Speaker
How do you? The whole team? Okay, but how do you do that? So what is this like? What is this like wrestling? Like Triple H is going to be a two-time Hall of Famer because of DX and then himself?
00:21:07
Speaker
That's what I'm saying, right? and like And then like at UFC, you can be like an individual Hall of Famer, but then like a fight could go into the Hall of Fame? but how does How does... So is the 92 Dream Team in the Hall of Fame as just the 92 Dream Team?
00:21:21
Speaker
They've got to be, right? If you're doing this... I've never heard of nothing like that. me Never heard nothing like that. So that means...
00:21:33
Speaker
LeBron James is going to be a two-time Hall of Famer. Kobe Bryant is going to be a two-time Hall of Famer. Mello? Mello and Dwight Howard. Hold on. Mello is going to be two-time in the same year. year Yeah, and Dwight Howard. And Dwight Howard. No, Dwight Howard. do i have on Oh, yeah, yeah. Dwight Howard. Dwight Howard. I heard Dwayne Wade.
00:21:51
Speaker
Dwayne Wade. Yeah. and way Well, Dwayne Wade is two-time now. ah Well, will be because I don't think he's eligible until next year. No, he's not yet. He was in last year. He was already cut. Yeah, he was last year's class, yeah.
00:22:05
Speaker
How is he already eligible? There's no way he's been... are Yes, yes, yes, yes. He retired... i mean, he yeah, yeah. five He retired six years ago. yes Yeah.
00:22:17
Speaker
Get the fuck out here. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So then on the women's side. It was seven years ago. Yeah. And then on the women's side, it was Jennifer Aziz. Okay. Again, she does it. 1990 Naismith Kyle the year. 1990 NCAA champion. 1996 Olympic medals. That's it.
00:22:33
Speaker
ahc like champion ninety to ninety six olympic gold medals that's it This is annoying. that's This is annoying. And then and then immediately, because this is alphabetical, right? So I just read her stats. And then immediately after, you go to Sue Bird. 11 points, 5 assists per game in 20 seasons, 13-time All-Star, first in WNBA games played, first in assists, first in minutes played, eight-time All-WNBA, the 2022 Nathemith College Player of the Year, four-time WNBA champion, and two-time NCAA champion. Somebody typed out
00:23:06
Speaker
those resumes back to back and said that person's a finalist. you know what You know what's also blowing my mind is that Sue Bird is eligible. Yes. I swear she only retired two years ago. I don't know how ah how she has it. The next person is Sylvia Fowles, 15 points, nine nine rebounds in 15 seasons, 2017 WNBA MVP, eight-time All-Star, eight-time All-NBA, four-time All-Defensive, four-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, two-time WNBA Champ. The player after that is Maya Moore, 18 points per game, five rebounds per game, 2014...
00:23:42
Speaker
twenty three twenty fourteen WNBA MVP, six-time All-Star, seven-time WNBA, four-time champion in the WNBA, two-time NCAA champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist.
00:23:56
Speaker
I don't know how you read Melo, Dwight, Sue, Sylvia, and Maya and have anyone else on this finalist list. This is the problem with the... Why did it take so long for Maya? Because she's been retired for a while.
00:24:11
Speaker
No. it's so So she didn't retire. She retired 2019, right?
00:24:17
Speaker
I think she didn't she because that's when she started talking like the pandemic. So it's like 2020. But she didn't officially retire. Oh, I thought she did. Okay. No, she just wasn't playing because she was trying to get that man out of jail.
00:24:30
Speaker
Yeah. How you bag Maya Moore in jail, bro? She was trying to get that man out of jail. And then he got out of jail. Or Riz. Riz is what the kids is calling it. and And then he got out of jail and then she retired. But she hadn't played for like five or six years.
00:24:45
Speaker
But she had and we she didn yeah she she didn't play for like a season or two before she retired. That's why where the numbers are. Okay. Okay. But yeah, dog, so if this class is anything other than Melo, Dwight, Sylvia, Maya, and ah who that means? Sue Bird.
00:25:01
Speaker
If anybody else gets in, I'm done with this. I was going to say, I'll give Billy Donovan. Because again, Billy Donovan really is on is a really good coach. That's fine. If you want to put a coach in there, I don't know their rules about how many coaches and contributors got to get in there. But players-wise, that's it.
00:25:16
Speaker
and nobody else should even have made the finalists. um All right. Any last thoughts on that before we take our break? Nah.
00:25:25
Speaker
The basketball game is always going to fucked, bro. Bro, tell us the NFL. What do you mean? Yeah, but this is much worse. This is, like, significantly worse. You're not wrong. You're not wrong. All right. We'll be right back.
00:25:37
Speaker
Welcome back, everybody, to Langer Podcast Network's IED Football Show.
00:25:43
Speaker
We should maybe talk about football. um to So yeah, I wanted to talk about two things. I want talk about two things. one just like a quick look at what Big Ten players are on the consensus draft big board because it is draft season.
00:25:57
Speaker
And then i also wrote an article about about the NFL combine, the underwear Olympics, um, about the five players in the big 10 that I think have the most to gain by good combine performances, which is harder than it looks because the combine is
NFL Draft Prospects and Evaluations
00:26:16
Speaker
stupid. It actually doesn't matter for a lot of people, especially, ah you know what i mean? When like,
00:26:22
Speaker
Shador Sanders is trying to go number one first overall and isn't throwing. Aston Gentry isn't right. Aston Gentry is not performing, which I care a little bit less about running backs because you run that 40 and pull something.
00:26:36
Speaker
But as a quarterback, you're not going injured throwing the ball. so I'm okay with Aston Gentry because I feel like Aston Gizdi legit proves himself also. Yes. like he yes a He had a I'm a first round back. Stop playing with me. Shador, my thing is that if you weren't throwing a what's-her-name
00:26:57
Speaker
You wasn't really looking that hot unless you was throwing the – like, you he he looked good. He looked good. He was a good quarterback. But a lot of his stuff, a lot of his plays was detracted. Yeah.
00:27:10
Speaker
A lot of his plays was detracted. I wouldn't take Shidua first round, personally. But, you know, we'll have time to talk about that. Well, but what are all the other quarterbacks? i Listen, I wouldn't take a quarterback at all first round.
00:27:23
Speaker
Oh, okay. Fair enough. All right. Personally. And I know like you're going to think that this is like an Ohio State take. But unfortunately, there's like six teams that need a quarterback. Yeah, the first quarterback that I would take, and again, this is in the second round, the first quarterback that I would take is Will Howard because bare minimum, he's going to be a long-term backup. He's 6'4", 2", whatever. And if you listen to how the coaches talk about him, he was given two, three plays. He's a good processor. He he can he can run enough. like he's not like and that He can run like Josh Allen can run and that
00:27:59
Speaker
He's big, so he's hard to tackle. And he's like, he's like, He's faster than he looks, but he's not really fast. yeah And um so, like, always would take him as a project and say, like, you have a lot of NFL traits.
00:28:12
Speaker
If you don't need to start immediately, at worst, you're going to be a long-term backup. Because you can throw the ball. You can process. You can make quick decisions at worst. you Anybody else?
00:28:23
Speaker
I'm not taking Cam. I'm not taking Shador. I'm sure as hell not taking – actually, okay.
00:28:31
Speaker
Would I take Quinn first round? Not top 10, but I pick 20. Would I take Quinn? The reason why um I get why Shador would be a first round is because I think of quarter but well yeah but a lot of people are coming around with the coming around to the idea of the dual threat black quarterback.
00:28:51
Speaker
He's not dual threat. He don't run. You're right. He should. He's too little. Well, so was Lamar Jackson for a second. Yeah, but Lamar don't ever get hit.
00:29:03
Speaker
Yeah, because he's fast as hell. Yeah, and he knows how to slide. and like Lamar is different. Lamar is different. um Okay, so so the the the people, and I i want to know your opinion on this, the people that I picked as who has the most potentially to gain, the first person I picked was Abdul Carter, defensive well edge from Penn State.
00:29:25
Speaker
And the reason why i picked him is like he's guaranteed to go in the top five. But I think he has a chance to go number one overall, which means more money for him. Who has a number one pick?
00:29:36
Speaker
I don't know. ah But he has a chance to go number one. of I think it's the New York Giants. I think it, no. No. No, I think they won a game that took them out of it. They did.
00:29:49
Speaker
they did Who is it is it? It's not the Raiders. It's not the Broncos. It's not the Jets. Who else is back? Oh, it's the Tennessee Titans. Is it the Titans? Yes, it's the Tennessee Titans.
00:30:00
Speaker
They need a quarterback. Yes, but they have a new coach and everything, so maybe not. so But my point my thing is, right, so if he if the quarterbacks don't look good and or don't interview good, he has a great – he has a great um a great combine, he could put himself into the number one pick place because they're going to look at like these quarterbacks may bust, but he's essentially going to be guaranteed.
00:30:27
Speaker
So maybe not, maybe he's, he's not categorized correctly as in the most a game, but I think even going from three to number one, it's huge. That is huge. So it's, it's definitely more money. It's not. Yeah. all And it's the bragging rights. Yeah.
00:30:43
Speaker
Oh, okay. So top three, yeah.
00:30:46
Speaker
Ooh, you know what's crazy? What? So it goes Tennessee, Cleveland, New York, right? Yep. ah was Cleveland. I'm taking up dual Carter and trading.
00:30:58
Speaker
Yeah. Which is why I don't know why they like, yeah. trade gar And then you could probably get, this is literally the perfect draft for miles Garrett to want to trade, which means that kind of the the Browns going to do it. You could trade them to a Dallas.
00:31:12
Speaker
Now you get the 12th pick in the draft. Because if I'm if i'm trading Myles Garrett, I'm getting a first-round pick this draft. he's So he's 30.
00:31:23
Speaker
I'm still doing it. But two-time defensive player of the year. time. Do you get two... He won this year. Did he? No, didn't. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. no he didn did That was the corner.
00:31:34
Speaker
So one time defensive player of the year. Yeah. A perennial tennis guy. Miami, Indiana, Atlanta, Arizona. You got two first for him still.
00:31:46
Speaker
Because you get two first? Yes. This year on next year or like some other year? Yeah. I thought so too. Yeah. he's He's literally top three best defensive players in the league right now.
00:31:59
Speaker
I'm trading him and i'm drafting milesuse gate but i'm draft Abdul Carter. Okay. um okay So the second person I sort of talked on him, Will Howard. I don't think Will Howard is going to be a first round pick, but that doesn't matter.
00:32:12
Speaker
i think if he has a... Oh, actually, you know what? I just looked at this draft order. He might. Yeah. I mean, yeah, he easily could. I mean, we get surprised every year. Nobody up my dad alone yeah no one thought Michael Pinchino was going be a first round pick.
00:32:25
Speaker
So, but my well yeah, but my my thing with Will Howard is he was like going to be like a sixth round pick. And then after this year, he's like third or fourth. It's going to be us.
00:32:37
Speaker
Oh, yeah, it's definitely going to be Just hope it's you in the second round. ah and But he's going to be, what is it? He was going to be like a fourth or fifth round pick. Now they're talking about third or fourth.
00:32:48
Speaker
But if he interviews well, which he's going to interview well, it's go and then you listen to how Ohio State and Chip Kelly and then talk about him, and then you listen, and then you watch the film and stuff like that, he I think he can make himself a second round pick.
00:33:01
Speaker
And then if a team like hit hit the Raiders, who just coached him, fallen you know want to trade back? I think their pick may be a little too high for him. They want to trade back or something. Raiders are a lover. Sixth pick is crazy. Oh, there's six?
00:33:18
Speaker
Yeah, there's six. They went 4-13. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So the Raiders either trade back or they trade up. They say Zach's ability to quarterback. Do they trade? Actually, no.
00:33:30
Speaker
No, no, no. Yeah, no, no, no. it wasn't it The Raiders is perfect because a six pick in the second round is where I would like that. Like that would be perfect. Yeah. Well, that waits who that wouldn't be six. It would be because remember, it goes, it flips when the second round starts. So like the last pick is the first pick.
00:33:48
Speaker
No, it's not. Yeah, it's when the second round starts. Yeah, it always flips. No, it's not. It's not a steak snake draft. If you have the first pick in the first, you have the first pick in every draft unless you trade it.
00:34:01
Speaker
already hit first round. I didn't look at everything.
00:34:06
Speaker
Yeah, unless you trade it. it's the you get like They'll do it early then. They'll get him right then and there. That's what I'm saying. In the first round, though, it's not going to be the second.
00:34:16
Speaker
They're not going to pick him pick number six.
00:34:20
Speaker
They just might. That would be insane. They just might. I mean, if that happens, I'm 100% sure he is going to the biggest riser. i I could see them getting him with their first pick in the second round, which is like pick 38 or something. They might do something silly like that, too. They have a quarterback.
00:34:36
Speaker
Who? Drake May. ah Okay. He's a rookie. They like him. They're not going draft another one. Okay. ah Oh, my goodness. You know what?
00:34:48
Speaker
What? All those first three teams could really do a quarterback to start the draft. Yeah, so there's all three first teams are idiots. Where are the Giants at? Giants are number three.
00:34:59
Speaker
Yeah, so supposedly the Giants are trying to trade for Matthew Stafford. Oh. I don't know why the Rams are getting rid of him, but they're trying to trade for Matthew Stafford. So if they trade for Matthew Stafford. I'm sorry.
00:35:11
Speaker
I'm not going to New York. I'm not leaving LA to go to New York. I'm sorry. I Matthew Stafford, I would have retired after I won the championship, but nobody does that anymore. i Just re-aaring down on me and him. I'm out. The third player that I have on this list is Josh Simmons, offensive tackle for Ohio State.
00:35:28
Speaker
I mean, it doesn't matter where he gets drafted. If he gets drafted in the first round, that's a huge win for him. Because when he... when he um When he transferred to Ohio State, he was like the most penalized offensive lineman in the country.
00:35:41
Speaker
And all the Ohio State fans were like, who the hell is this guy? And then in two years, he literally, like, if he wouldn't have gotten injured, he was being projected as the first tackle off the board, which means the NFL is not going to draft him first because he got injured and he's going to fall to, say, you know, like the Steelers.
00:35:56
Speaker
And he's still going to be the best tackle as a rookie or something like that. Yeah, he might fall. If he was, the he won't be. What pick do you have? We have 21. Yeah, nope. That's not happening. Arizona, Cincinnati, Seattle. Yeah, Arizona. Actually, yeah i don't think I don't think you realize how right on how spot on you are with and Arizona. Yeah, I know.
00:36:17
Speaker
Arizona got Ohio State's offensive line coach. Yeah, oh, I know. So they they take Paris Johnson. If y'all don't do it at 14. If the Colts could take him at right tackle, too. Miami doesn't do it at 13. Yeah.
00:36:33
Speaker
it'll be oh yeah I don't think he gets out of yeah i don't think he gets out of fifteen top 15 Chicago might even do it at 10 Chicago still needs a tackle I feel like they've drafted a tackle in three drafts and it just hasn't worked out Carolina needs a tackle Carolina needs everything so does the Jets need a tackle he ain't making it to us now this is why i want us to be trash sorry yeah it's okay ah The next guy have on this is Jordan Burch. He's the defensive end from Oregon.
00:37:06
Speaker
He missed. He played 10 games. Oregon played 13? 14 games. Oregon played 14 games. He missed four games. He still had eight and a half sacks.
00:37:17
Speaker
Oh, I bet. He's 6'6", 290. Oh, my God. Yeah. And so that he's... If he his hips, he could cover, too.
00:37:29
Speaker
Exactly. That's exactly what's going to happen. They're going to see 6'6", 290. If he runs a sub 4'8", and he does some good in some mobility drills, he's going to get... like I mean, literally... um ah Trayvon something, Trevin, whatever. I don't know that dude's name.
00:37:43
Speaker
The dude that the the dude, Trayvon Walker, I think is his name. The dude that the Jags picked number one a couple of years ago who had like 10 total sacks in three years or something crazy. And they like, but he's big, strong and fast. And he's, he sucks. He's not good.
00:37:56
Speaker
But this is a dude that they're going to see 6'6", 290. If he runs under 4'7", he's going to get picked high. And, I mean, he wasn't good his first three years, but then he had eight and a half sacks this year. That's more production than some people get. He's going to get drafted high if he has a good combine, if he comes out healthy. Because, again, he did miss some games.
00:38:15
Speaker
If he tests healthy and he sells some speed, um he's going to get taken yeah. yeah yeah special A lot of people, teams love projects when it comes to defensive ends and things like that, too. Yes. They just want that. They just want the size and the skill. And he has that because what's the name ah from South Carolina or not South Carolina?
00:38:42
Speaker
It was a South Carolina. I can't think of his name. ah He had that big hit against Michigan. years ago. He could have been. Yeah, that's his name. He could have been something too because you could see it. You could see it. at He had spurts, especially when he played. Jaday McClowney didn't have the the work ethic.
00:38:59
Speaker
Yeah, that's really what it was. Yeah. So, and then the the last person on my list is Will Johnson, corner from Michigan. um I'm going to try to get through this without hating on him.
00:39:10
Speaker
was going to say, did he play the full season? Nope. Yeah. Yeah. You're going to have to go more by my guy. Yeah. So here's my thing. Every preseason, they were talking about him like he was.
00:39:23
Speaker
Yeah. the Preseason, they were talking about him like he was God's gift to earth. People were saying he was the best player in this draft. My problem that I've had with him outside the fact that he went to Michigan is I've never watched him play and felt like he shut down the entire field.
00:39:40
Speaker
Like I've seen that happen in college. Now, that does not always mean that they're good in the NFL, right? Like Jeff Okuda, you could not throw at him in college. He didn't work out in the NFL.
00:39:51
Speaker
But in college, I've seen corners that I'm just like, you can't throw over there. I haven't seen that with Will Johnson ever. I never thought he was that locked down. He's much more of a zone corner for me. But he makes some flashy plays, with which is also important. He has some pick sixes, things like that. But because of his injuries and because of some of that thing, it like opened this space where people were able to like look a little bit more critical.
00:40:12
Speaker
And they would they weren't just seeing that he was 6'2", which is what like his biggest feature, is that he has height and everyone loves tall corners now. And so the hype on him has died down a little bit. like five five nine corners ain't working anymore no more. So the hype on him has died down a little bit because the injuries and because of some of the other things.
00:40:30
Speaker
But again, he's 6'2". And the other problem that they have with him is they think he's slow. Oh, so they're concerned that he's not going to run the 40. But if he runs the 40 and runs a good time, it could put him back up in time in the top 10 height. If if you know that people's concern is that you're slow and you decide to set out the 40, I'm just going to assume you're slow.
00:40:53
Speaker
They do that all the time, though. You're good. And i I that's fine. I get it. But you told me you're slow. You yourself. You agree. You agree that you're slow. Yeah. I'm sorry. they You tell me you're not running to 40 and I already think you slow.
00:41:08
Speaker
I'm going to think you're slower than what I already thought. Basically. Yeah. And then it's like, yeah, you definitely play zone. Yeah, yeah. I mean, and he does. So he would be great if the Legion of Boom was – no, he wouldn't – he doesn't hit.
00:41:19
Speaker
He doesn't hit like that. We better not – we're not going to take him. If he doesn't hit, that that's the one thing about Steelers that – You got to hit. You got to hit there. You got to talk about it. That's why Joey was good.
00:41:30
Speaker
He holds too much, but he'll hit. Jesus Christ, he holds too much. He'll hit. For sure. For sure. For sure. All right. So then to to wrap up the draft conversation, I just wanted to go through – um Maybe we'll go to top 50, but I just wanted to go through the players in the Big Ten and the top 50 of the consensus draft board and see if you have any problems with any of their rankings.
00:41:53
Speaker
So the number one player on the draft board, which again does not mean he's going to be the number one pick, but the number one player on the draft board is Abdul Carter. I'm not mad at it Mason Graham, defensive tackle from Michigan is number four.
00:42:06
Speaker
The dude at... All right. hu Tyler Warren, tight end from Penn State is five. oh Will Johnson. Really? Yes. Okay.
00:42:16
Speaker
Okay. That feels a little high, doesn't it? A little bit, but okay. I get it. I get why. He had he had a good season, especially towards certain especially in those like certain games, big games. i give Okay. Okay.
00:42:28
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:31
Speaker
Will Johnson corner Michigan is number six. Yeah, no. Agreed. And then we have a slight gap. Colston Loveland, tight end. Michigan is number 15.
00:42:43
Speaker
Don't like that at all. Don't like that at all. This is very much like a... like He's good. He's all right. He's cool. But this is very much like a traits thing. Yeah, like I can see, like depending on the team he goes to, he could probably be really, really good for them and stuff. But currently, if we're ranking him that They can do it.
00:43:01
Speaker
Not from Michigan. Not no offensive player from Michigan. Right? Yeah. But he's there. Especially since know they wasn't throwing the ball like that. Yeah. Doesn't make any sense to me.
00:43:12
Speaker
um Josh Simmons is 21. Way too low. way too low especially since he had, what's the name of 15? Yeah. A Mecca is 22. That's a little low. I think that's low.
00:43:23
Speaker
So here's the thing that happens with the Mecca and it's the same thing that happened with Jason and all these other kinds of things. The NFL wants their wide receivers to be six, four and run a four, two.
00:43:35
Speaker
The problem with that is they forget that you have to be able to catch the ball. and And so not to not to shit on your guy, but your guy, that the Steelers, who fits that mold, they draft these players high, and then they never turn out to be good wide receivers.
00:43:50
Speaker
And then the players who may be six foot six one but are like legitimate wide receivers, they don't draft, and then they turn out to be the best wide receivers in the Which is so silly to this day because Julian Edelman, ah Rex Burkhead, Antonio Brown, ah ah who's the dude in Miami? Tyreek Hill.
00:44:10
Speaker
and the And the thing is, Emek is bigger than all of them. Like, if it's a size thing, he's not six four but he's 6'1", 200. Like, he blocks, he catches, he's a great route runner, good teammate, but ah they see they don't. I'm told it's Devontae Adams.
00:44:27
Speaker
Not at all. Because said a great route runner, and that's the reason why i want to look this Devontae Adams, I think, is 6'2", maybe? He might be taller. don't know.
00:44:40
Speaker
No, no, no, no, no. He's 20. Oh, he's 32? Yeah, he's up there. o You better not follow that man. I don't know why you followed him this last time. he's 6'1"? Yeah, he's Devontae. I don't want to say that. i don't want to say he's Devontae Adams. That's a crazy...
00:44:58
Speaker
competitive it like That's a high bar. That's that's too high, but like he he's in the mode. He's in the he's he's off the tree. um I think he's going to be the best wide receiver in this draft. 33 towards the end of the season.
00:45:16
Speaker
Kenneth Grant, defensive tackle from Michigan, is 23. Derek Harmon, defensive tackle Oregon, is 26. de harman defensive tackle from oregon is twenty six <unk> Josh Connelly Jr., offensive tackle from Oregon, is 29. I'm sorry. um I'm taking any offensive linemen over those two Michigan defensive linemen.
00:45:38
Speaker
ah Donovan Jackson, guard slash offensive tackle from Ohio State, is 32. He also could have made my list because a good combine with him, he'll secure himself as a first round pick after essentially saving Ohio State's season.
00:45:55
Speaker
Tyleek Williams, defensive tackle, Ohio State's 35. I think that's too low. Yeah. And it's not even just like the Ohio State thing. Like he was OK, I'll just say this. I won't give my opinion.
00:46:05
Speaker
He was previously number 19. What happened? That's what I'm saying. How do you go from 19 to 35? So how was he? um Okay. So he was 19 without the combine.
00:46:16
Speaker
And then two players from Michigan who didn't play most of the season, not because they were hurt just because are hired. Okay. Okay. hi Yeah, yep. okay Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's right.
00:46:30
Speaker
Jack Sawyer, 38. What? What?
00:46:36
Speaker
I didn't even know Jack was in the combine or in the draft, but what? I'm not going to. You said it, not me. You said it, not me. Trevion Henderson, 42. What?
00:46:47
Speaker
You said it, not me. Quenchaun Junkins, 45. forty five What? You said it, not me.
00:46:58
Speaker
JT Tua Malahu, 49. forty nine All right, bro. so Okay. We're just giving out numbers. but not even came We're not even caring. 49, bro. forty nine 49. Middle of the second round?
00:47:15
Speaker
like Like, if they got picked in this order, middle of the second round? That's a great steal. Honestly, I hope he is 49 because that means the Colts can get him in the middle of the second round. I'm like that, yeah.
00:47:26
Speaker
yeah Go ahead, fall. Go ahead, fall. Sure. We can get him on an accident. well You know what I'm saying? like oh i say Especially like that. good You know what? You tell me what? Look, I know we need a quarterback, and I know we need offensive linemen.
00:47:39
Speaker
If it comes up to 21 and Jack Sawyer or any of them is it still there, go get him. Go get him. You know what's going to happen, though?
00:47:51
Speaker
One of Emeka Egbuka, Travion Henderson, or ah Jack Sawyer is going to go. Actually, no, hold on.
00:48:03
Speaker
I'll tell you exactly what's going to happen. we need Where are the Ravens picking? ah Deep. They're deep. ah They're like probably 38, 29, something that. They're deep. they're deep And you know who they're going to draft?
00:48:16
Speaker
One of them niggas? Yep. They're going to get Jack. They're going get Jack Sawyer. They're going to get Jack. That's what I'm saying. Look, I get it. I know we need Lyman. But I say go after Mbuke because we need more weapons.
00:48:30
Speaker
We need more weapons. that They're 27. They're going to get Jack Sawyer. and okay, the Ravens are 27. the ravens are twenty seven The Lions are they're going one of them is taking Jack Sawyer. And you're literally, you're literally, you're literally there in two years, they're going like, how did we let the Ravens get JT? How did we let the lions get Jack Sawyer? Cause you had them ranked 45. Oh my oh so that So the two teams who always draft good players, it's literally the lions are going to have the first all white defensive line in 20 years. It's going to be the best in the country. Because Aiden Hutchinson's a dog. They have Aiden Hutchinson and Jack Jordan. And the crazy part is, i of course, look it like no one wants to hurt, but Aiden Hutchinson got hurt early in the season.
00:49:19
Speaker
Yeah. So he's coming back. yeah He's going to be back for the season. was like game one or two. if Yeah, it might have been deeper, like game four or five, but like he's going to be fine.
00:49:31
Speaker
Yeah, it was like, yeah. yeah and they're going to get freaking – it's going to be Aiden Hudson and Jack Sawyer, and they're going to terrorize the league for freaking – Sorry, Chicago.
00:49:42
Speaker
Jack Sawyer is that literally – Detroit is salivating at the mouth to get Jack Sawyer. if Yeah, because everybody else, because like I'm telling you, every those first three draft, the first three people in the draft, the first three teams are all morons.
00:49:57
Speaker
I don't know if Sammy's here. I'm sorry, but you know your team is stupid when it comes to drafting sometimes. So like they'll end up doing something stupid. And then the freaking Chiefs are going to get Travion Henderson.
00:50:12
Speaker
And it's just going to be like, why do you keep letting this happen? They'll get Ibuka because we'll do something stupid. i was I just didn't want to say that. I just want to say that. But that's who I was initially thinking. That's who we should really go for. But you want to know what the funniest part about if the Chiefs get Ibuka?
00:50:28
Speaker
You know who needs a wide receiver? the bills. Do you know how many drafts in a row the bills have passed up on a player or traded their, their pick yeah that, that pick to the chiefs and the chiefs drafted a player that they needed?
00:50:41
Speaker
The bill egg book is going to be on the board. The bills aren't going to draft him. The chiefs are going to draft them. And then the chiefs are going to continue to beat the bills for the next 10 years. I swear if we don't get him, cause we it's, it's obvious. It's obvious. We need another weapon.
00:50:56
Speaker
to it compliment um um George Pickens and in Austin, because I think Austin's a good slot receiver. he he He's fast. he He's sneaky. I think another year his route running would be good.
00:51:10
Speaker
He'd be someone else. um ah backade likey what thats mess Yeah, he'll be – since he's young, Austin's young, George Pickett's young, you keep fields.
00:51:21
Speaker
yeah Now you're young and get to grow together. Yeah, and they didn't play a lot together, but he has some he has some chemistry with Ibuka. They play together a little bit. Yeah. Oh, that would be – That would be perfect. We're not going to do it. no Nope. We're dumb, too. He's going to be a Kansas City Chief. Yeah.
00:51:37
Speaker
I mean, people are talking about the coach. Or a goddamn eagle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. People are talking about the coach drafting a tight end. And it's like, hey, dog, we don't need that. Not really. Y'all need linemen.
00:51:48
Speaker
We need corners. That, too. could play corner for the coach right now. I'd at least make the practice squad. Go, birds. You're not a fan of football. like it Come on, bro.

Speaker
Oh, God. All right. Let's wrap this up. um My pit stop this week, as you all know, pit stops where we take a break. We get to talk about something other than football. on My pit stop this week is I went to Boston this weekend.
00:55:21
Speaker
Um... never thought something that I thought that I was going to do, but one of my good friends lives in Boston. And I also, ah I went out there for like a, to like um give a presentation. So was cool.
00:55:35
Speaker
Trying get paid for either on this podcast or in other areas, I'm trying to get paid to speak by 40. So it was, it was, a you know, nice little speaking engagement, put it on my resume, but I went out to Boston and it was decent and that's all I'll give it.
00:55:50
Speaker
Yeah. It was better than I thought it was going to be. And as you can tell, I didn't really have a pit stop, so I needed something. It was better than I thought it was going to be. But at the same time, it was still Boston. But when you're, but like, you know say Like when your thoughts, like when your expectations are in hell and and and it's two feet off the ground, that was solid. It was cool. I'll go back. well I mean, one of my good friends is there, so I will go back. I hear they got good food out there in Boston. I'm not sure, but it's what I've heard.
00:56:15
Speaker
Yeah, I haven't eaten much. out I mean, I was only out there for a couple of days, but what I was pretty solid and there was black people in Boston. but what up but ill say But what I'll say about the black people in Boston and I literally i put on my little sociologist hat and I started doing some field research.
00:56:30
Speaker
ah Every black person that I talked to, which it wasn't all of them, but every black person I talked to, was like, so how did you end up in Boston? Every single one of them went there for school or work. so i'm not like like and i'm like all right you you came with the money and the education i get that i was i'm just trying to figure out how you ended up out here didn't know we was out here uh but yeah that's it uh my pit stop because it just because you had boston out there so it just hit me calves legit might be the best team in the nba ah All around.
00:57:00
Speaker
um I
Cleveland Cavaliers' Performance and Key Players
00:57:01
Speaker
know... Wayne Wade Jr., baby. um will I know Boston is the reigning champs and everybody keeps talking about OKC and stuff like that, but all around, Cavs is best team. They got the... I think right now they're on the...
00:57:17
Speaker
third longest winning streak in the NBA and they've had three or four eight game winning streaks this season yeah they they've been going crazy they've been balling they've been balling I still hate that I don't get games all the time out here because I'm in Columbus and it's so silly but they've been putting them thank goodness the NBA's doing the thing where they're like we don't really need Phoenix in Washington on TV let's put Cavs on television so yeah yeah i um So, you know, I don't really be in the NBA like that.
00:57:47
Speaker
so i have to So maybe I'm just not seeing it. Does it feel like... Nobody gives a fuck about Boston. like Like, I haven't heard anything. Raining champs. I just, like, they're literally... Yes. It's hilarious how much everyone hates so Jason Tatum. So, like, when they talk about other teams, everybody, they go, we you you know, you still got to worry about Boston and the Raining champs are still one of the best teams. Like, people recognize them, but it's pretty much been the same thing for Boston for the past three years. It's just like...
00:58:18
Speaker
you're good, but you know. Yeah. it's cut It's because of Jason Tatum. did Did you see that video where they're like the 10 times Jason Tatum bit like off of other people? No. Like his whole personality. 10 times? Yes, his whole personality. only know of like two. His whole personality is just doing what other people did.
00:58:36
Speaker
Because I know he tried to do the Kobe picture after winning his 10 years. He did four. He did three Kobe things. Oh. I don't remember the list, but it was three Kobe things. I think one them like the... I know he tried to do the Kevin Garnett thing of anything's possible.
00:58:48
Speaker
Oh, the second the second Kobe thing is Jobs Not Finished. Oh, yeah. I remember that. remember that. The second Kobe thing was Jobs Not Finished. may have been the third. I think he did the Cleveland This Is For You. Did he try to do a Boston business for you? Like, hey, never won nothing? I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he did that. That's stupid. He's grasping at straws at this point. Yeah, it's crazy. It's like, come on, dog. And you're cool, bro. You're cool.
00:59:15
Speaker
You're a good basketball player. You seem you seem to be a good guy. I really wish he would that you got sure would just be the Yeah, just just yeah i in In this day and age, corny is it's cool. like people yes People like corny. Especially if you're genuinely just you.

00:59:51
Speaker
I'm not a Cavs fan, but always root for him just being from Ohio. you know Yeah, now they they've been doing really well. I want to go to a game. I probably won't make it, but you know. Yeah. I will just say... ah and people always think I'm lying, but Dwayne Wade's my favorite play player of all time, and I instantly was like, I like Donovan Mitchell. He's the first player, and there's a couple of them. He might have a quicker first step than Dwayne Wade. Yeah, he's the first player that like reminded me of Dwayne Wade. He really like hoops like that, except he has a quicker first step.
01:00:20
Speaker
And i he got a better jumper. He has a better, yeah. was just about to say he has a better jumper, but like style, like yeah. like he yeah you on so um ah I was happy when he went to the Cavs because I can't remember. The ah vi there and of they' thing is, it's funny that you bring up... like um Oh my goodness. Evan Mobley is starting to remind me of like ah Minnesota KG.
