Click does. yeah Yeah, at this point, that's about the le that the next thing I have to do is just start talking about myself in a third person. ah What's going on, Johnny Bongs?
00:06:10
Speaker
How you doing, brother? All right, so real quick, I've got a wrestling question for you before we get too much into football. Shoot, because I want to cover some hockey basketball just real quick before we get into football. Okay, so do we think that they're going to let Randy Orton win the belt again and take it from John Cena with this sudden new last couple of week feud that those two have developed again?
00:06:34
Speaker
do we think that's going to happen? Because the way he stood in the ring holding the belt up, he's planning to go for it from John Cena. Yeah, so they're setting it they're going to definitely 100% set up a – because, okay, so this is we all know this is John's last year.
00:06:48
Speaker
Yep. Like, you know, he said he was starting in January. He's going to go through, and this will be his last year. plate But even Randy's not far off from being in that same boat now.
00:06:59
Speaker
He's got to be creeping on that 40 mark, too. i think I think Randy – I think he's – I think he's – honestly, I think he might be – well – No, he was he was really young when he when he came in. Yeah, i think he was only like 20 when he came in. But um but he I think Randy has said that he's got he's still got a good five years left in him, if not more.
00:07:18
Speaker
um he's He's still kicking. In all honesty, I think Randy looks the best he's ever looked. but To be honest with you, maybe maybe not physique-wise, but he's finessed his his ring presence so well.
00:07:33
Speaker
And he's... He still has those heel tendencies about him, and but he's turned out to be a good guy. Like what he did with ah but that dude from NXT, where he held him up and told him, hey, man, this is your moment.
00:07:46
Speaker
And then he turned around and he RKO'd him at the end of WrestleMania. and believe But I mean, if you listen to the audio in the camera, he gave the dude the props, told him, you know, well drink it in real quick.
00:07:59
Speaker
But no, i'm about to fuck you up. And then he RKO'd him. But at the same time, he basically introduced a new, what I believe the WWE wwe is going to try and make a top 10 talent in the industry.
00:08:10
Speaker
ah Joe Hendry is amazing. and and and And the greatest thing that's happened in recent years is WWE partnering up with TNA and sharing rosters on the NXT.
00:08:24
Speaker
Yes. There are some super talented guys and and and women in TNA, and we're getting to see them on the WWE screens. um And ah Joe Hendry will absolutely make that make that move.
00:08:36
Speaker
at some point into the WWE wwe world full time. And he will be a superstar. The dude is ah super talented. He's great on the money. He gave him his good introduction. I mean, the dude isn't even on the WWE wwe roster and he got probably one of the top five WrestleMania moments of this year's WrestleMania.
00:08:53
Speaker
Yeah, dude, he's current reigning TNA World Heavyweight Champion on WrestleMania, which is unheard of. You would have never heard of another company's champion. Yeah, he's got a fucking belt on nonetheless.
00:09:06
Speaker
Yeah, all right. I think they're setting it up for Randy Orton to take the belt from Cena, and then they're going to set it up for maybe that guy to come in and start off with ah with a belt reign, come in and beat Randy Orton, kind of like a revenge tour almost.
00:09:22
Speaker
Well, I think, like I was saying with the John Cena situation, there's there's certain feuds that you want to see again with John Cena. Obviously, you want to see the Randy Orton, John Cena.
00:09:32
Speaker
It was fun when they did it a few years ago. Yeah, you want to see CM Punk and John Cena again. Plus, there's a lot of young guys that want to... I wouldn't be mad about a CM Punk-Seth Rollins feud continuing because I think that one's a lot of fun.
00:09:47
Speaker
They're both very good on the screen. Seth Rollins is good. Anywhere you put Seth Rollins in wrestling, he's going to be successful. He has that aura and that presence about him that allows him to control the crowd and everything like that. So...
00:10:02
Speaker
um But him and CM Punk feuding, ah and maybe even bringing back a Seth ah Roman Reigns feud again. Well, with the development of the Paul Heyman situation with Ron Breaker now joining up with. Yeah, I saw that too.
00:10:22
Speaker
I think we're going to see, we're going to see Roman Reigns and CM Punk team up and, and there's going to be, a rivalry there. um But yeah, you know, I, I would love to see the setup where, where Randy gets the belt and then lead that into passing the torch almost.
00:10:41
Speaker
Yeah. Well, I want to see, i want to see because there was so much buildup and, and, and quote unquote anticipation, Randy and Cody having ah have a, having a, a feud, you know, because,
00:10:53
Speaker
right Randy told him basically after you beat Cena at WrestleMania, yeah it's my turn. you know And they're friends. They're obviously really good friends, him and Cody, and they go way way back. So I would love to see those two work together against each other. so um But I don't know. I'm curious to see how long Cena holds on to the title.
00:11:13
Speaker
again I didn't hear you if you were talking to me live. I don't want to get too much into it because I know it's you and Cash's thing a lot. yeah so I'll let you guys keep your stuff. I've been catching little bits here and there, mostly what I catch for reels on Facebook and stuff. but yeah I'd seen that and I was like, oh, that would be a fun one to have come back again.
00:11:32
Speaker
The John Cena, Randy Orton deal again would be a lot of fun because those two were. And Randy Orton is what makes him so much fun to watch is the fact that when they say RKO out of nowhere, he just appears and fucks you up and disappears again.
00:11:46
Speaker
And I think that's probably the most fun about him. o He doesn't need all that buildup Because his RKO Literally comes out of fucking You've seen it He's been nowhere and all of a sudden poof There's Randy Orton there's a guy laid on the ground and he's gone again Where'd he go?
00:12:02
Speaker
yeah yeah where hell he go he's he's He's the Viper man Or even in them in in matches i mean because There was Wrestlemania a couple years ago Where Seth Rollins went for the stomp And he threw him straight up in the air And caught him in arcaoe and RKO'd him yeahp He's RKO'd AJ Styles when he goes for the phenomenal forearm. yep He's RKO'd guys out of midair constantly.
00:12:24
Speaker
um you know it's It's one of those moves and he's perfect. i mean it's It's a cutter. It's a diamond cutter. He's perfected it so well that literally RKO out of nowhere. At any point in time.
00:12:39
Speaker
At anywhere too. And like you said, there's a lot of times where he slides into that ring. Well, just this past Monday, son bitch came out from underneath the ring and dropped Cena where he stood.
00:12:49
Speaker
Yep. Cena didn't know what the hell happened. Yeah, it's it's wild. so But I follow Randy on ah on Instagram.
00:13:01
Speaker
And he's he's a big family guy. Like, he loves his family. Well, he even told Sini, you need to have kids. It'll change your opinion on everything. Yeah. But, like, his nieces and nephews and shit, they're they're always at his house. And there's a video out there. I think it was, like, his nephew or something.
00:13:17
Speaker
They were by the pool, and his nephew came running out of nowhere and RKO'd Randy. Yeah, i saw that one. saw that one.
00:13:24
Speaker
How does it make you feel, Uncle Randy? Yeah. Yeah. so But anywho, yeah, tune in next Saturday. Cash and I will be back with Cash's Corner. What a shot.
00:13:37
Speaker
We'll actually be recapping WrestleMania and talking about what's happened the last couple weeks since WrestleMania. so What a shot. All right, let's move on real quick.
NFL Draft Surprises and Strategies
00:13:47
Speaker
Did you see the NFL is looking into the crank call to Shador Sanders acting like the New Orleans GM? I didn't even hear about that. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The NFL is looking into the prank call made to Shadur Sanders as the acting like the New Orleans GM.
00:14:04
Speaker
That's fucking awesome. I didn't even hear anything about that. So somebody prank called him and was like, hey, dude, that's wild. I got the article right here.
00:14:15
Speaker
The NFL is looking into how Shadur Sanders' private phone number was leaked and used for a prank call during day two of the draft. As Sanders continued to go undrafted through Friday, a video surfaced on social media. The quarterback receiving a call from someone impersonating New Orleans HGM Mickey Loomis.
00:14:33
Speaker
It's been a long wait, man, the person said. We're going to take you with our next pick, man, but you're going to have to wait a little bit longer. Sorry about that. The person hung up the phone and con confused Sanders, told the crowd, gathered for his draft. What does that mean?
00:14:50
Speaker
Yeah, it's, yeah. Wow. That is fucking insane, bro. I didn't even hear anything about that. But then they turned around.
00:15:00
Speaker
So he got that call and then they turned around and drafted that Tyler show kid. Yeah. yeah that I see the clip. They said, they said, Tyler show was drafted over Sadir Sanders. He must be really good. Let's see the tape.
00:15:15
Speaker
and it And it's just one play that I don't know who they were playing against, but he dropped back and the offensive line just fell apart. And Tyler's like running around looks like a chicken with his head cut off. And he does like this weird, like underhanded lob up in the air.
00:15:31
Speaker
And it's an interception. It's just an ugly fucking play all the way around. it Like, yeah, that's the guy who went before. but man, let's talk about the Shador Sanders thing just for a second.
00:15:43
Speaker
Ah, ah projected to go potentially number one. In the top five. We can just say the top five. Yeah, projected all the hype around him, all the buildup was going to go into the top five.
00:15:55
Speaker
Yep. And look at look at the quarterback set went over. And again, we've been saying it. I've been saying it. The kid is is a lot of... What's up, Wyatt?
00:16:09
Speaker
A lot of... There's a lot of hype behind him. there's a lot of hype behind him But there's no substance because did he look good at Colorado? Absolutely.
00:16:22
Speaker
But did he look good at Colorado because of the level of... Because of that conference is a joke now. Yeah. or I mean, you look at you look at that. They lost... This year was what? The first year.
00:16:34
Speaker
They lost four teams in that conference.
00:16:38
Speaker
I mean... but um you lost You lost Oklahoma and Texas, which are huge, tough teams to play against. They were just dominating the Big 12.
00:16:51
Speaker
and Yeah. and just i think I think his skill looked better than what it actually is because of the level of competition that he was playing against. Plus, there's just so much fucking hype. And I think a lot of people, and I think the other thing I kind of factored into it when these teams were, because look at some of the other quarterbacks that were drafted over him.
00:17:09
Speaker
um This year. i think a lot of it probably boiled down to the fact that teams out there don't want to deal with his damn dad. Yep. You know, which is, you know, the um was it Lamar ball ah basketball player, the the ball, the ball family.
00:17:27
Speaker
A lot of teams were um the kids were the kids were good, but they had this fucking ego and their dad was a twat. So a lot of teams were trying to avoid him like the plague.
00:17:38
Speaker
Well, we kind of ran into the same thing with Caleb Williams last year, too. If you remember, he was being a bitch and saying, you know, certain teams drafted him. He'd just stay in college. Yeah. So it's... Yeah, I just...
00:17:52
Speaker
there there was a lot going on with the Sanders situation. We were having fun Thursday watching him fall and laughing, and it was good. I mean, it was funny. and and it it he I can't believe it was fifth round when he was fine I can't believe he fell as far as he did. I expected second or third when he didn't go when he didn't go in the top ten. I knew for sure he was going to go to the second.
00:18:12
Speaker
Third at the latest, but to go all the way to the fifth round at the 144th pick, like, that's unbelievable. um and and that's And that goes back on to what I said about his love his skill level.
00:18:23
Speaker
He might not, and we're not experts. You know what i mean? We're just armchair quarterbacking it. yeah Yeah, we're armchair quarterbacking it here on this show. You've got guys that this is their job to watch tapes, to scout players, to to know.
00:18:41
Speaker
There's something about the kid that the NFL teams were like, Oh, we're going pass on We're going to take this kid's show. you know We're going to take so-and-so.
00:18:52
Speaker
Teams that needed quarterbacks were taking defensive players over a quarterback. I mean, even Pittsburgh. Yeah, and they they really didn't know what the fuck was going on in their quarter. They still don't know what fuck's going on in their quarterback situation. They they did grab Will Howard, I saw.
00:19:08
Speaker
Yeah, they got Will, I think, in the fifth round or something like that. I think that's a good pickup for Pittsburgh. I think Will Howard, if given a year to sit, even behind a Mason Rudolph or something like that, I think Will Howard could be ah could be a good quarterback for Pittsburgh to get started, to start his career at least.
00:19:24
Speaker
Yeah, I think the way he he plays, he could be molded into that Pittsburgh-style quarterback.
00:19:32
Speaker
um just Just throw the ball You don't need to run around, do anything crazy Just hit your targets And he's accurate He's got an arm on him And Pittsburgh, can they can they have an O-line that can protect him Yeah did So yeah really real quick And they got some weapons Wide receiver now I just pulled up the draft grade draft grades for the teams And I just want you to know That your Cleveland Browns Got an A-plus in the draft I've seen that, and i'm actually i want to I want to get to our teams.
00:20:08
Speaker
I want to start with Buffalo. um but how do How do you feel the draft went for you guys? I think Buffalo addressed every single one of the needs that they had. um they needed They needed a lot of defensive help.
00:20:22
Speaker
And I believe that they they they focused very, very highly on their... And it's not... The D-line needed some serious help. um But they definitely needed that edge...
00:20:36
Speaker
edge rush. They weren't pressuring the quarterbacks enough. they With guys like Lamar Jackson in the AFC, Pat Mahomes in the AFC, CJ Stroud in the AFC, you have to have guys that can get off those outside edges and push and and just pressure that quarterback to not said if he makes If he tries to make a play with his legs, they've got to be there to stop it.
00:20:59
Speaker
If he tries to drop back and throw deep, they've got to be there to be in his face and make sure that deep ball doesn't go because we have so much youth and uncertainty in our in our secondary, our cornerbacks, and our safety.
00:21:12
Speaker
um I think that that's ah that's a big deal right there for them. They definitely address the D-line. They definitely address their edge rush needs. I was a little surprised to see they took tight end and a wide receiver.
00:21:24
Speaker
But yeah i was i was going to say like six of your guys' is that nine picks or something like that were all defensive players. So they ultimately got a B-minus draft grade, which I'm not. i i I trust the grading as much as I trust the mock draft scenarios. Yeah, exactly right.
00:21:44
Speaker
Yeah. there What do you think they said about Brock Purdy when he came in? Oh, he was an F. Well, look at Brock Purdy now. Brock Purdy's actually not as bad as everybody thought he was going to be. Yeah. and and you and And for you, fortunately for you, your team is already in a pretty good position.
00:22:00
Speaker
You know, there they're a solid team. So now you're just adding depth. You're getting some younger faces because you're going to have older guys that are going to start missing a step or a little bit, yep and you need that next generation.
00:22:12
Speaker
and i Yeah, I think that's – I mean, I'm with you on the grading. I think it's kind of – because you don't know how these players are going to pan out until they hit the field at the end of the day. reading up on this, here's something that the Bills had in their favor for as good a team as they've been the last five seasons.
00:22:29
Speaker
They had 10 picks going into this draft. They had 10 picks. They had 10 chances to get what they needed. they ah they They ended up be using nine. They traded one away.
00:22:40
Speaker
Whatever, that's fine. So it says right here, one spot they had to address, which i already mentioned, was the cornerback. Opponents completed 68.5% of passes against Buffalo and converted 43.8% third downs.
00:22:58
Speaker
Wow. Yeah, they were they gave up the fourth highest third down conversion rate in the NFL. And fortunately for you guys, so with those defense with the defense lacking like that a little bit, your offense was putting up a fuck ton of points against people.
00:23:11
Speaker
That's what saved us. if Yeah, that's what saved the club wasn't putting up 30-plus points a game, they wouldn't have won what they want. yeah So we lost we lost Russell Douglas as an unsigned free agent.
00:23:22
Speaker
We traded away Kair Elam. But we did sign back Dane Jackson, and we got Maxwell Hairston in the first round. um He's a 4-2 is what he writes.
00:23:38
Speaker
Dude is fast. um We needed defensive tackles and a receiver. We got TJ Sanders. um
00:23:49
Speaker
And let's see. Uh...
00:23:56
Speaker
he should fit in with It says he should fit in with Ed Oliver, and oliver and then we got Landon Jackson and Deion Walker. Both of them bring a pass rush on the on the inside.
00:24:10
Speaker
Nice. Let's see. Jackson sets a hard edge, and Walker fills a gap at 6'7", 331 pounds.
00:24:23
Speaker
that's a big They did take Caden Prather as their receiver.
00:24:31
Speaker
um Let's see here. So they they got ah they got a defensive tackle, Deion Walker from Kentucky, who took two guys out of Kentucky yesterday. They did get Jordan Hancock, the cornerback from Ohio State.
00:24:46
Speaker
And then we got some, and we got that Maxwell Harrison guy. So like I said, we got a B minus on our draft. I don't think it's a bad draft. We do still have cap space to play for, to pick up any free agents if we want.
00:24:57
Speaker
So they do still have some room to get some stuff accomplished.
00:25:04
Speaker
And then they added back Trey White in the quarterback, which brings veteran president presence in the secondary. Because Trenadius White, as you know he is a he's a veteran in the NFL. He played for Baltimore. He played for Buffalo.
00:25:16
Speaker
So, I mean, that's a big deal for him.
00:25:21
Speaker
Yeah. no um Yeah, like I said, you guys are in a fortunate position where you didn't need a lot of help. Nope. But they did they definitely addressed...
00:25:33
Speaker
the issues that needed to be addressed. Correct. and And I think that's what, I think that's what Cleveland did. I'll tell you what. ah I think Cleveland did a I was a little nervous when they traded away to Jacksonville. I don't know why they traded. I mean, other than the fact that now we have two first round picks next year.
00:25:51
Speaker
That's probably a pretty good reason. um But picking up Mason Graham might've been the best defensive pickup of the night, of of the weekend. And, um,
00:26:04
Speaker
Not just saying that because I'm a Michigan fan or because I'm a Cleveland Browns fan. um A lot of the quote unquote experts would agree with with what I said. The kid is an absolute monster. That grandkid?
00:26:16
Speaker
Yeah. and yeah partner come up He's a beast. and Partner him up on that defensive line with Miles Garrett. You know Miles Garrett's happy as fuck. Actually, there was there's video of Mason Graham after he was drafted, and he said, man, his phone was blowing up.
00:26:32
Speaker
The only person he responded to, because it was one of the first people to text him, welcome him to Cleveland, was Miles Garrett. i And he said, the only one only person I've responded to so far has been Miles.
00:26:43
Speaker
I said, outside of that, I can't keep up. So he's like, I didn't even know Miles had my phone number. That's funny. Yeah. so But yeah, Cleveland did a really good job.
00:26:53
Speaker
yeah We needed help offensively. They picked up Carson Swechinger, linebacker out of UCLA, on <unk> which will add depth and and youth to our secondary, which is already pretty stacked. I mean, our defense at Cleveland is it's pretty stacked.
00:27:13
Speaker
it's It's definitely a solid defense. It did address the running back situation because we don't know What's going on with Nick Chubb, unfortunately.
00:27:24
Speaker
So we needed that addressed. They picked up Judkins out of OSU. I was excited for that because I do like him. I like him a lot. he's I think he'll fit into the AFC North style running back.
00:27:36
Speaker
Yes, I can agree with that. Hit the line. You're Judkins, right? That's what you're talking about? yeah Sorry why I busted up for a second. um Yeah. yeah he's go Well, he comes from that that Northern Smash Mouth football.
00:27:49
Speaker
Yeah. You know, that's the big thing is that's one thing that I've always said. You know, the SEC is known for fast paced, high scoring, deep ball but highlight plays. The Big Ten is known for smash mouth defense, run game, fucking just just bury the rock down their throat kind of football.
00:28:06
Speaker
So picking up a a Big Ten running back is going to be a huge help for them. Yeah. Yeah. Picked up a tight end out of Bowling Green, Harold Fannin Jr. Not sure why we picked up a tight end.
00:28:19
Speaker
um Our tight end room is we got David Njoku leading the way as long as he's healthy. um But, you know, a little extra depth. We'll see what happens. Addressing the running back situation again, they picked up Dylan Sampson out of out of Tennessee, um which he was pretty solid.
00:28:40
Speaker
um he's a He's not a very big guy. He's only about five a about 200 pounds. Um, but, um, he's, uh, he's, he's another guy that'll hit the, hit the line and kind of fight for yards and stuff like that. So I'll tell you, uh, who's that Kansas city, the biggest offensive position they needed to address. And they never touched anybody on it.
00:29:08
Speaker
Wow. The tight end position. And then, uh, I didn't even. Kelsey's 35 years old. Yeah. They need a new tight end.
00:29:20
Speaker
And last year you seen that he was kind of. He was already contemplating and he was ah he was he was a touch off. He was a little slower, a little less sure with his hands, a little less willing to pass block, you know, and they needed to address that. And they did not address it at all in the draft. So you have the Chiefs did not get a tight end.
00:29:40
Speaker
And I don't know if there's any super good ones on the free agency market right now. Uh, probably the best two were the kid out of pen Penn state and then Colston Loveland out of Michigan.
00:29:50
Speaker
And they, and they went, they went early. Yep. Um, and then Cleveland addressed their quarterback situation. Uh, drafted, uh, Dylan Gabriel in the third round out of Oregon.
00:30:01
Speaker
We were talking about that a little bit before the show. I liked that pick. I liked Dylan Gabriel. Um, you know, he played out in the Pac-12. Obviously, not an easy place to play. And then he joined the Big Ten this year when Oregon joined.
00:30:14
Speaker
And he played. He looked great, man. I'm excited for that pick. And then their very last pick, literally Cleveland's very last pick, after five long rounds, our boy Sanders came off the board. Our boy. He's not my boy.
00:30:30
Speaker
He could have gone undrafted and not have laughed even harder than I did the fact that he went in the fifth round. And and and and and you were you you you were busting my balls. Derek was busting my balls. Cam was busting my balls. And I'm like, look, we had a great draft.
00:30:43
Speaker
We addressed the needs we needed to address. You know quarterback taking care of with Dylan. We got a couple running backs to see how that, you know, because we don't know what's going to happen with Chubb. And even if Chubb's around, there's nothing wrong with having a couple guys in the backfield to help out.
00:31:01
Speaker
That's right. And then and And it was the last pick that Cleveland had, and they they took Sanders. And I seen Stefanski came out, and he didn't even mention Sanders, but he did say that Dylan Gabriel will have a chance to compete ah for starting quarterback position against Flacco and Pickett.
00:31:22
Speaker
But I'm happy. I know you said that they were given an A, what, an A-plus or an A-minus or something? A-plus. They're drafting. Yeah, I'm happy with Dylan's draft. they were the they were They were deemed the best drafted team this season.
00:31:34
Speaker
They were the first team listed on the on the grading. Nice. so and that And that is something that, as a Cleveland Browns fan, I have not got to say very often in my life when it comes to the NFL draft.
00:31:46
Speaker
but are you proud and are you Are you proud and impressed with your draft this year? Yeah, I like it. I like it. you're not like You're not trying to bang your fucking head off the wall? Mm-hmm. You know, there's a lot of players in here that I like with Mason Graham, Judkins, house and Gabriel.
00:32:03
Speaker
um I've only seen Samson from Tennessee play a couple, a handful of times. um So I don't really know much about him, but obviously being in Ohio, I got to see Judkins play quite a bit. so yeah And I thought, and I honestly thought, and I've had this discussion with a few of my friends that are Ohio State fans.
00:32:20
Speaker
I honestly feel that Judkins is the better of the two running backs that came out of Ohio State this year. Yeah. The versus Trayvon Henderson. Yeah, Travion Henderson, nothing against him. He's good, but he's more of that flashy guy. He's going to run out. He's going to run out of outside to the corner and just make, you know, make a big play. He's going to try to avoid contact and whatever.
00:32:39
Speaker
But in the NFL, that doesn't always fly because, yeah its you know, it's the next level of next level of competition. Yeah. but i was I was happy with Buffalo's draft. I was very impressed that Cleveland didn't fuck theirs up so badly. um You know, it was just, I thought the draft, oh, fuck.
00:33:06
Speaker
Excuse me, I'm sorry. I thought the draft went very well for the teams that I care about. um So that was that was a good thing. And I'm glad to see that ah Kansas City did screw the pooch on it.
00:33:18
Speaker
Yeah. I'm not addressing one of their biggest offensive concerns. um What did Tennessee get grade-wise? Oh, let's take a look at that. Out curiosity, I know Derek's not here, but.
00:33:31
Speaker
Yeah, hold on one second. We pull that back up right fast. Because they did address right off the rip their quarterback situation. They picked up Cam Ward. Mel Kiper gave out one A-plus, and it was to Cleveland.
00:33:47
Speaker
Oh, wow. Yep.
00:33:51
Speaker
Tennessee got a B plus. They needed quarterback, edge rusher, and a wide receiver. They grabbed the running back from North Carolina, the wide receiver from Ole Miss. They did not draft the quarterback.
00:34:04
Speaker
Yeah, they drafted Cam Ward. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm looking at the wrong one. It went up and not down. So I'm sorry. They did. They grabbed Cam Ward. They grabbed an edge from UCLA. Kevin Winston, the safety from Penn State.
00:34:17
Speaker
Shamir Dyke from Florida. Tight end Gunnar Helm from Texas. um Running back Khalil Mullins from Michigan. That's a good pickup, and especially... as our last ah yeah I'm surprised that he went that long in the draft.
00:34:37
Speaker
Yeah. Mullins didn't get a lot of playing time in Michigan because he was behind Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards, and then he was behind Donovan Edwards. um But Mullins, he's a solid running back. he's He's a solid runner. He's strong.
00:34:57
Speaker
He's fast. So we'll see how he pans out in the NFL. um Gunnar Helm, the tight end out of Texas, big, big fucking target. in the road. kids like 6'5", 6'6", something like that.
00:35:11
Speaker
he's ah He's a big fucking target. So they definitely, I think, I wish i wish Derek was here to give his opinion. But Tennessee, they addressed their issues, man. Spot on. You know, you know court e or needed him.
00:35:23
Speaker
Yeah, couple wide receivers. Yeah. A couple wide receivers and it and a tight end. So hopefully hopefully Tennessee will be a little bit better next season.
00:35:34
Speaker
Yeah, they can't be much worse, to be honest with you. Well, this is true. i mean When you get the number one pick because you finish dead last in the NFL. The only place to go. Yeah, the only place to go is up.
00:35:47
Speaker
Yep, that's a fact. so That's kind of how I feel about Cleveland. You know you come in second, worst team in the league. so That is a damn fact. You dress your issues, man. That's what the draft is for. you know nobody That's exactly what it's for.
00:36:02
Speaker
And a lot of teams fail to do that. Yeah.
00:36:08
Speaker
so Nobody expects, at least me as a fan, I'm not expecting fucking Dylan Gabriel to come out and start week one and be slinging rocks. and Just be a dominant force in the NFL. yeah Nobody expects Dylan Gabriel to come out and pull a C.J. Stroud or something like that.
00:36:26
Speaker
so yeah I don't even expect junkin Judkins to come in and be the number one running back in the league this year. Yep. you i mean? if If we get good production out of him and he shows growth and stuff like that, hell yeah. That's, this is year one, man.
00:36:40
Speaker
This is year one. Don't, don't kill yourself. That's right. You got five on a rookie. So come on. Yeah. Let's get it together. Get your marks, do what you need to do. But no, overall um I thought the draft was, was, was, was pretty cool.
00:36:58
Speaker
And I still have the same issue I have every year with the draft. Yeah. Come on. Why does it take so long? Oh my God, dude. Like it makes such a show out of it because the first night took four goddamn hours, but yeah rounds three through seven were done in like six.
00:37:19
Speaker
Yeah. They were just you combined at all. Yeah. Just, just flowing right, right. Fucking through Like, I don't need all the buildup and the hype and the dumb bullshit. Just give me your fucking a picks so we can discuss it.
00:37:31
Speaker
Mm hmm. I don't need all the stats and analysis and all that crap. Just tell me who the fuck you're... When they say the pick is in, they should be announcing it within 30 seconds. Not six minutes later.
00:37:42
Speaker
Waiting and waiting and waiting. The pick is We're going to show four different players. Oh wait, we still got to interview the last player. Oh, now we're going to show footage of him coming down the hallway and looking in the mirror. So dumb, bro.
00:37:56
Speaker
Get out there. make the day Actually, Roger Goodell, you don't even leave stage. You stay on the stage the entire time. Yeah, fuck yeah. but a fuck good Put a fucking earbud in your ear so they can tell you. Let's do this. if you want other people to show up, man, fuck.
00:38:11
Speaker
Let them come out on stage with you. Yeah. You know, when that when that team is on the board, they can come out. And then they can do their stupid speech then. Whatever they got to say while they're while they're waiting for the pick to come in, don't wait until the pick's in and then come out and do a 10-minute long speech about the fucking Indianapolis call. Fucking terrible. It is so damn boring.
00:38:33
Speaker
Had it not been for the fact that we were doing the show Thursday night live while the draft was happening. don't know that I would have watched it. Yeah, I probably would have turned it off. I'll be 100% honest with you. I have seen have seen Cleveland's pick, and I'd be like, okay, I'm good.
00:38:49
Speaker
You know? Oh, But the fact that we were able to conversate and do our bullshit in between picks, I kept it on up there. Hell, towards the end, towards the end i I kept missing picks because we were announcing the picks as they were made.
00:39:03
Speaker
I kept missing picks because we were just chit-chatting and talking, you know, different things about the football and whatnot. so Yep. But, yeah. But overall, you know, I think um I'm happy as as a Browns fan. I'm happy for my team. I think they did a good job. Now I'm excited to but i' excited to see. any money um I know a lot of people don't care about NFL preseason, but the thing I like about the NFL preseason is you get to see the young guys in action. You get that first sample. You got one year behind you with a sniper.
00:39:35
Speaker
so I'm trying to make call-offs for Wyatt. I shouldn't be. should be letting him die on his own accord. So, but I like that. I like that. So I'm excited for that. But overall, I think we're both pretty happy with our teams, with our picks. Yeah, I'm not mad.
00:39:51
Speaker
um So do you think we've we've covered enough of the NFL right now? you want to move on to the hockey, the world of hockey? Because like Matt, like Matt Pacafe says.
00:40:03
Speaker
Hockey is awesome. Hockey is awesome. And we are in the playoffs, ladies and gentlemen. first round. We are four games deep for the most teams in the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.
00:40:17
Speaker
It's like big sports. It's in the game. couple of those those games, you got the Stars and the Avalanche are knotted up at two apiece. The Golden Knights who come in number one with a wild card The Wild are knotted up at two games apiece.
00:40:38
Speaker
Yeah. Toronto came in number one and they're leading their series three games to one against Ottawa. Yeah, they're smashing them. Tampa's down to Florida. ah It's so wild to me that Florida has two NHL hockey teams, and they're fucking good because everybody says. They've always been good.
00:40:58
Speaker
Yeah, hockey won't do good in Florida. I shouldn't say always. The Panthers historically have been a trash team. yeah like They've been good the last few seasons. The Lightning have been fucking second to nothing for a long time. Yeah.
Stanley Cup and Player Critiques
00:41:13
Speaker
You know, they've got, they've got, since Steve Stamkos and all those guys, I mean, they've always had a ah stellar fucking, Tampa Bay's always been able to produce a playoff team. They've got what, three cups down in Tampa? I think so.
00:41:26
Speaker
In the last 10 years. Yeah, in the last, yeah. they've I think they've got three in 10 years. So. Yeah, you got, the Capitals are two one over the Canadians.
00:41:39
Speaker
Yep. OV. Yeah. Let's go South Carolina representing the Hurricanes. So here's my thing. Here's my jam. Here's my jam. My Stanley Cup prediction. My Stanley Cup prediction.
00:41:51
Speaker
Carolina. Carolina. um Plays the Avs for the Stanley Cup championship. stan like that could be aninterest interested That could be an I think that's how it's going to go. If that's not how it goes, um I think Carolina plays the Oilers.
00:42:06
Speaker
Oh, so you're locked in on Carolina. care I think Carolina is by far, for probably the third season in a row, the best team in the NHL. Okay, nice. um i think they I think they couldn't pull it together the last time when they really needed to, but I think that Carolina is by far the best team in the NHL right now.
00:42:25
Speaker
Oh, yeah. So... um down I think that's what you're looking at. i think you're looking at a Hurricanes-Avalanche Stanley Cup or a Hurricanes-Oilers Stanley Cup.
00:42:40
Speaker
The Oilers are currently down 2-1 against the Kings. so yeah yeah Well, that's okay, though. Those are seven-game series, man. Yeah, they're seven-game series. They got a game tonight at 9.30. There's currently a game on right now, in case you didn't know.
00:42:55
Speaker
Yeah, Winnipeg and St. Louis are dotted up at the end of the first period. Yep. Formerly the Atlanta Thrashers, now the Winnipeg Jets. Well, they were the Winnipeg Jets. Then they were the Atlanta Thrashers.
00:43:07
Speaker
Now they're the Winnipeg Jets again. yeah the The Hurricanes and Devils play at 3.30 today. The Caps and Canadians play at 6.30 today.
00:43:18
Speaker
so So they've definitely got some hockey games on today. Yep. Good ones, too. Yeah, you definitely want to – a couple series you might want to keep an eye on, especially especially you the Oilers are already down 2-1.
00:43:34
Speaker
You can't, dude. You cannot count count Connor McDavid out. and And then you've got the series knotted up between the abs and the star or the avalanche and the stars. Yep, which I still think the avalanche are going to take that.
00:43:49
Speaker
Yeah, but hockey is awesome. according It is that time of year, man, where it is super excited. The Jets-Blues game is currently tied at one at the end of the first period. so but So there's your your NHL playoff bracket.
00:44:07
Speaker
It's just ah that's is that... that ah for if you're into sports this is that uh time of year where everything is kind of on a collision course happening at the same time hot yes basketball baseball's kicking off yeah you know um for those college fans you got softball college softball's big you know there's some teams that were expected to be dominating have lost number one team in the nation in softball for umpteen million games is not number one anymore all day yeah
00:44:39
Speaker
So NBA playoffs are happening. Let's go Cleveland. ah um I said it earlier in the season. i think ultimately it's going to come down to the the finals between Oklahoma and Cleveland for the championship.
00:44:57
Speaker
Just based off the fact that they they are the two strongest goddamn teams in the league. And they are smashing everybody. um Now, you know, Cleveland does have to be careful in the East because they're going to come across Boston.
00:45:09
Speaker
Who has been a dominant team all season long, to my knowledge. Yeah, they have been. Cleveland was, I think Cleveland finished with the best.
00:45:31
Speaker
Yeah. Cleveland and Oklahoma finished with the best records in the and NBA, and Boston was just three games behind Cleveland.
00:45:40
Speaker
So that'll be their competition in the East, in my in my opinion, going through the playoffs. It will be Boston, but it always is. Cleveland and Boston, historically, and even most recently, have developed a pretty interesting rivalry.
00:45:55
Speaker
There's some usually some good games between them. Yep. some um But Cleveland currently leads their series against Miami three to three And they play tomorrow for the potential sweep.
00:46:08
Speaker
Oh, they do five games. Or seven games, sorry. Where are you going? There's a wasp house. Oh, my God. This kid is such a baby when it comes to bees and wasps. He's up and he will hide across the fucking room from him.
00:46:21
Speaker
I'm going to purposefully fight for you, too. Nope, you're not. we stop making There we go. That's better. My internet. Did it go away? Okay.
00:46:32
Speaker
o What's going on King Eddie? Liberty Twitcher says, just left a Twitch stream where they concluded Shador Sanders not getting picked early was racism by white owners. True? Not true.
00:46:44
Speaker
Not true. You can't say it was true because Cam Ward's black and he was the first pick overall. What the fuck? like that You can't even say that. that is That is the dumbest. I've heard that argument three or four times.
00:46:54
Speaker
That is the absolute dumbest argument there is. The first two players picked in the draft were black guys. that is play Oh, yeah, yeah. First two picks. Two picks.
00:47:11
Speaker
Still black, they're almost purple.
00:47:16
Speaker
Actually, your first three picks.
00:47:19
Speaker
know Well, that panel of eight guys are a bunch of idiots. And I would argue that with them my hand over fist. All of a sudden it was white owners putting racism. Yeah, they're idiots because that's just not true.
00:47:36
Speaker
ah we we come to the We come to the conclusion, and again, we're not experts by no means. We're armchair quarterbacking it. We come to the decision that it's He's all hype and no substance. What it boils down to he brings, i think he's i think I think he's a lot, he's this year's Tim Tebow.
00:47:53
Speaker
He brings too much of a media circus with him. I mean, come on, dude, you're in college and you've got an entourage and you've got your dad. Your dad has stayed in the spotlight since he took the job in Colorado.
00:48:06
Speaker
yeah like You're talking about retiring your jersey number from college because why? What did you do that was so great? Nothing. Did Colorado win a championship that I didn't see? I might have missed that.
00:48:21
Speaker
and Was I sleeping? Because I'm pretty sure Ohio State won. I've been wrong before, but you would think that me being an Ohio State fan, I would know.
00:48:32
Speaker
a ah Colorado. Where is Colorado? Did they win their bowl game? Is Colorado in the Big 12 or what conference are in? No, they got smoked but they got smoked by BYU in the Alamo.
00:48:51
Speaker
They got beat by a bunch of fucking Mormons? They got smoked 36-14. Yeah, okay. So Shadur Sanders is how good? You lost to BYU, bro.
00:49:03
Speaker
They are now. They finished that the season 9-4. They were 7-2 in the Big 12 Conference. How did Cam Ward finish, might I ask? How did Miami do in their conference?
00:49:16
Speaker
And what was their record? Let's
00:49:21
Speaker
my let's also address the fact that Cam Ward set a record for most touchdowns in the ACC history. Miami lost yeah otta was staying to Iowa State. ah Was it 42 to 40? Yeah. 42 to 41. Whoa.
00:49:37
Speaker
Oh, that was a close game. Yeah. What did they finish in the conference? Miami finished the season with, uh, with two losses on the on the regular season. They lost to Syracuse by three points or four points. I'm sorry.
00:49:52
Speaker
And they lost to Georgia tech by five points. Oh man. But Kim word is not as good a quarterback as Shadur Sanders. Yeah. That's a bullshit. So the stats don't lie.
00:50:04
Speaker
The stats are what the stats are. I'm glad that Google AI was wrong about round two because I'd hated to have to quit watching the NFL and like it at the WWE wrestling.
00:50:15
Speaker
Although they weren't too far off from how the picks went because you did end up with an Ohio State running back and you did end up with Shadour Sanders. Yeah.
00:50:27
Speaker
Yeah. Well, yeah, they were just they were just ah they were just a day or two off. They were off with the wrong running back. Yeah, which I'm glad. we i Cleveland got the right running back, in my opinion, from ass. Google AI got it wrong when they tried to pre-predict it at 1030 on Friday morning the second round at 7 o'clock.
00:50:49
Speaker
I'm going to tell you right now. the The stats between Cam Ward and and Shador Sanders, are pretty fucking close.
00:51:01
Speaker
And Sanders does hedge him out a little bit. And again, i will I will say that that has a lot to do with level of competition. Ward threw for 4,313 yards, and Sanders threw for yards.
00:51:17
Speaker
so came weed through for more yards and more touchdowns i and it's actually yeah can word get Completion rate is... had the best the NCAA 74%.
00:51:27
Speaker
Yeah. They both threw seven interceptions apiece. Okay. Cam Ward 39 touchdowns. Sanders had 37. QB rating was 172.2 and Sanders was 168.2.
00:51:38
Speaker
okay um they both cawarded kiward had thirty nine touchdowns sanders had thirty seven oughtt you be raiding q b rating ward was one seventy two point two and sanders was one sixty eight point two ah So Cam Ward statistically was the better quarterback.
00:51:57
Speaker
Yeah, but they were they were pretty they were pretty close. But he also, Cam Ward doesn't have a daddy named Deion Sanders. Well, there's that. And they also, I think that the ACC is a higher level of play than the Big 12. Oh, 1,000%.
00:52:11
Speaker
1,000%, especially after the teams left. They were left. so Yeah, after after after the shakeup last season, um ah you're looking at the The Big 12 has Ohio University.
00:52:27
Speaker
um That's down in Athens, yeah Ohio. They have Miami of Ohio. Oh, no, wait. I'm sorry. I'm looking at the Mid-America. I'm stupid. um So they got BYU, Arizona, Iowa State, Colorado, TCU, Baylor, Texas Tech, Kansas State, West Virginia, Kansas, Cincinnati, Houston, Utah, Arizona, UCF, and OSU.
00:52:48
Speaker
Wait, Cincinnati left the ACC and went to the Big 12? Mm-hmm. So I would say Oklahoma State, texas Texas Tech, TCU, Kansas State, Baylor, probably your your your biggest, stronger.
00:53:04
Speaker
Yeah, your tough team. Cincinnati tends to put together a decent team. so They got Luke Fickle, right? Cincinnati got Fickle as their coach.
00:53:15
Speaker
Didn't he leave Ohio State and go there? Yeah, I think i think you say. I could be wrong, but I think. Trader went to Kentucky. well Another Kentucky college.
00:53:26
Speaker
Yeah, i think that's where he is. But yeah, no, I don't think, I don't think, and I think it's silly to throw that out there and to have that conversation. one thousand Because first, but a first and foremost, if you come to the conclusion that it is racist, that he got didn't get drafted, you know nothing about sports, first and foremost.
00:53:45
Speaker
Nothing. uh so go ahead and tell us you know nothing about football without telling us you know nothing about football second race fading yeah second of all if you think the nfl is racist just go look at the nfl draft because if the nfl was racist how about the nfl period yeah if the nfl was racist and the draft was racist you wouldn't have had any people of color be in check.
00:54:13
Speaker
didn't Didn't we deal with the same bullshit? They said avo the higher-ups in the NFL were racist because there weren't enough black coaches, and then you had guys like Mike Tomlin stepping going up and going, that's the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my life.
00:54:24
Speaker
And then you've got Nico Collins, not Nico Collins, the coach for Texas. Pierce, or what's his name, Pierce? He's a former player. um No, Antonio Pierce is for the Raiders. This is...
00:54:41
Speaker
Ryan? Miko Ryan. Isn't that his name? Miko Ryan? Either way, coach for Houston, black guy.
00:54:52
Speaker
Lovey Smith was ah one of the all-time great coaches in the NFL, black guy. Tony Dungy? to Yeah, Tony Dungy, yep. man Man. What a bunch of racist pricks, not letting any of the black guys play with the ball. Yeah, D'Amico Ryan's Houston.
00:55:09
Speaker
Bunch of racist pricks not letting the black guys play with their ball. It's just a dumb argument at the end of the day. It's just too it's just just a dumb argument. it's it's It's people that don't know what they're talking about but want to be in the conversation at the end of the day.
00:55:27
Speaker
And like I said, who knows? We don't know. Sanders could come into the league and go down as one of the greatest of all time. We don't Sanders could come into the league and go down as Deshaun Watson, too.
00:55:40
Speaker
He could. you know he could he can very he could very likely be the next Johnny Manziel. Because look at Johnny Manziel. All the hype behind Johnny Manziel. And as a Cleveland Browns fan, I watched that firsthand.
00:55:52
Speaker
That was a complete implore. That guy was ass. But he had all the hype in the world around him. He had his entourage. Money, fucking Money Manziel. You know, all this dumb shit. And he was ass.
00:56:04
Speaker
What's he doing now? The dude got kicked out of the Canadian Football League. Yep. For being a drunk. Yeah. Wasn't that one for being a drunk?
00:56:18
Speaker
I think might have been part of the reason, but he was also just fucking trash.
00:56:25
Speaker
Let's see. what's What he doing now these days?
00:56:31
Speaker
Johnny Manziel, what are you up to these days?
00:56:38
Speaker
Hmm.
00:56:43
Speaker
As of 2022, he was playing for the FCF Zappers. Well, that was his last season with the FCF Zappers. What fuck is that? Fan-controlled football. It's an indoor football team founded in December of 2020. They are member the Fan-Controlled Football League. I've never even heard of that. me But they are currently owned by Trevor May, Dalvin. What's that?
00:57:10
Speaker
Does that mean the fans make the next call for the play? Yeah, I don't know, man. I've i've never heard of him. He played there. Yeah, he only played to one season there. he's not even and It doesn't say what he's... What? is Can I go to the run for me? Yeah.
00:57:32
Speaker
It doesn't say what he's doing now. But he's not playing football, it looks like. so and they would He went all the way down to the FCS. whatever that is, whatever the fan-controlled football league is, whatever that is. so Like I said, we and that's with every player that comes out. You've got to play the wait-and-see game. You just don't know.
00:57:54
Speaker
But, yeah again, like we said earlier, it boils down to these guys are professionals, and they get paid a lot of money to make decisions on players based off of their playing, their skill level, what they see out of them, and, you know, whatever.
00:58:12
Speaker
We are not those guys. We just throw our opinion down. But no, I hate that. I hate that fucking argument. I hate it i hated that Dion came out and said that. And then certain people in the in the in the NFL world jumped behind it and and got on the hype train with him
00:58:37
Speaker
and whatnot. So I just stopped it. You're promoting something that doesn't need to be promoted for no reason other than the fact that this is your, I'm going to stomp my feet and pout and throw a temper tantrum because I didn't get my way.
00:58:54
Speaker
In my opinion, that's what it boils down to.
Fighting Announcements and NFL Off-Season
00:58:57
Speaker
Yeah. So. Man, oh, man, we've talked pro, we've talked to NFL, or we've talked pro, we've talked NHL. How about we talk a little UFC real quick? Dustin Diamond Poirier announces his last fight against Max Hollowell.
00:59:13
Speaker
Oh, I know that name. 318 is retirement fight. Dustin Poirier. Oh, wow. yeah Nice. Dustin Poirier was Max's first fight in UFC.
00:59:23
Speaker
Was he really? So apparently, information just handed to me from my kid that I'm sure came through his ear hole by a guy named Chris. um Dustin Poirier's first ever fight the UFC was against Max Holloway.
00:59:37
Speaker
And now his last fight in the UFC. Max Holloway's fight was Dustin Poirier. What? Max Holloway's first fight was Dustin Poirier? Oh, okay. I had it backwards. oh Dustin Poirier's last fight will be Max Holloway.
00:59:51
Speaker
Nice. So there's there's that. That's kind of neat if you think about it. knee little factoid. A little factoid for your ears. Yeah, man. That's cool. I do know Poirier. I know that name. yeah You should know Max Holloway, too.
01:00:05
Speaker
This is also a BMF belt fight, I believe. It's for the BMF belt, which, if you don't know, that's a new belt. They created the bad motherfucker belt. No one has ever defended the BMF belt.
01:00:16
Speaker
Is that what they're doing for that fight? No one has ever defended it. But is that a belt? Is that a title match?
01:00:25
Speaker
Yeah. vmf but So the BMF belts have never been defended. So this will be the first time it's ever been defended. And yeah. And that's a way for that's 318. That's an actual sanctioned belt that they'll yes they'll defend. And yeah is it in a weight class? That is an actual sanctioned belt.
01:00:44
Speaker
I'm not sure how the weight class works on that one. Huh. forheld the belt has never won a fight to defend it.
01:00:54
Speaker
He's never won a fight to defend it? So he hasn't been in a fight since he got the belt? say If you're losing all your fights after you won the belt, then that doesn't make you a bad motherfucker.
01:01:06
Speaker
True story. ah True fucking story. I'm the baddest motherfucker on the planet. What's your fight record? 0-27. Wait a minute.
01:01:17
Speaker
wait But you still hold the belt. but so So hold hold on a second. Is this like golf? The one with the lowest score actually? Right, right. or So you've got that you've got that currently going on too.
01:01:34
Speaker
Nice. I used to say Matt Holliday sounds familiar. That does sound like a familiar name. But I definitely know Fortier. Yep. Both of them been around a minute too. Yeah.
01:01:45
Speaker
i've been out I've been out of the UFC game for so damn long, man. I remember. I say I'm going to get back into it, but then I always forget that it's on on Saturday nights and I can literally just throw it up on the screen because the TV's in front of me.
01:01:59
Speaker
thinking about um i'm thinking about i think I'm thinking about reimagining my my bedroom and rearranging it. um And I might set up my... my computer situation where, cause my TV kind of sits at an angle.
01:02:13
Speaker
I can see it, but it kind of sits at an angle, but set my TV more where it's in like directly in front of me. So when I'm doing shows and stuff, I can just throw shit up there and watch it.
01:02:25
Speaker
It makes sense. So, so, but, um, yeah, man, I don't know uh,
01:02:35
Speaker
any, uh, any other major, like I said, the NBA playoffs are going on. Um, Oklahoma Thunder, they they swept their their opponents in the first round already. um Who did they play? Let me see.
01:02:50
Speaker
They swept the Grizzlies. Cleveland has potential to sweep the heat tomorrow night. Dude, they're smashing the fucking heat. um Well, we can we can move into um how about your Guardians are sitting in second in the Central Division behind Detroit.
01:03:09
Speaker
but How about my reds are sitting pretty nicely to you? they I think the other second behind the Cubs. Mm-hmm.
01:03:21
Speaker
The Falcons finally may have earned a thought because the Braves finally started to win a couple of games. They still have a losing record. They're 12 14. But they're actually winning some games.
01:03:32
Speaker
Well, it's a good thing they still have 175 more games to play. I was going to say, there's like 312 more days of baseball left this season. I mean, we've barely even got to the ice cream. I mean, they're still basically in preseason for them, guys.
01:03:48
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. You know, they've they've played – Cleveland's played – or Cincinnati's played 27 games, and they're and yeah um they started out They started out a little bit sluggish. we Cleveland, not Cleveland, Cincinnati, they've got to figure out their pitching situation because offensively, dude, they're a fucking scoring machine down in Cincinnati. so But yeah, like I said, lots and lots and lots and lots of baseball left. I mean, the Atlanta Braves being 12 and 14, they're still in third place behind the Mets in Philly. So it's not like they're
01:04:24
Speaker
Dumpster divers by no means. No. That actually, that actually, in the National League, that actually belongs to the Colorado Rockies, who have won four games. Oh, boy. They are 4-22.
01:04:36
Speaker
And then in the American League, you have the Chicago White Sox that are Oh, boy. So. Got little bit of that here.
01:04:48
Speaker
So so yeah you got a little you got a little bit of space between being at the bottom of the barrel there for Atlanta. Things are looking up for them.
01:04:59
Speaker
The Falcons, the Giants, and the Eagles killed it, huh? How the hell does Philly do? I can't disagree with the Giants drafting. They did really, really good. and i think the Dude, I think the Giants were super smart and in the first round.
01:05:15
Speaker
I think they played it very well, and they accomplished exactly what they needed to get through the draft. The Falcons, I know everybody that I know that's a Falcons fan, is not at any way, shape, or form pissed off about how the draft went for them um because Atlanta's notorious for fucking draft picks up.
01:05:32
Speaker
And they apparently i mean did not this season. A lot of people are very, very happy with that. ah The Giants snatching up Abdul Carter with their third pick was great.
01:05:45
Speaker
And then moving back into the first round and snatching up Jackson Dart. Yep. Great job because the Giants have Russ on a one-year. And now Dart gets one year to learn.
01:05:58
Speaker
And they got Jameis Winston for one year. So Dart can learn from Russ and Jameis. And then and the fourth round, they picked our boy up, Scatterboom.
01:06:09
Speaker
Oh, did they? Is that who got him? Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, shout out to the Giants. And overall, I think they had a pretty good draft looking at their draft picks.
01:06:20
Speaker
I agree with you. I don't know how the Eagles picked up Jihad Campbell. I don't know how he was at 31 still, but good on the Eagles and good on that kid.
01:06:33
Speaker
I'm glad he he I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did, because ah he was a monster down in Alabama. Outside of that, Philly just kind of Philly's another one of those teams like you guys, like the Bills, man.
01:06:46
Speaker
they We didn't have a lot to address, but they did address what they needed to. Yeah, and that's Philly just kind of filled. They did pick up ah they they drafted a quarterback. They drafted um the kid Kyle McCord.
01:07:03
Speaker
out of He was in Ohio, then he went to secure Syracuse. They got Kyle McCord in the sixth round. Where did Queen Ewers end up going? I know I saw it earlier. I don't remember, though. I don't know where you're at. The Eagles have the best GM in sports.
01:07:16
Speaker
I got it. You know, I don't like the Eagles at all, but I got to give the Eagles credit, man. ah yeah Yeah, they didn they didn't play it they well. They do play the draft very well. um He works his angles on a lot of players. It works out in their favor for sure.
01:07:35
Speaker
what the hell is What's your first name? ah Quinn. That's right. Yes. Quinn.
01:07:46
Speaker
Oh, shit. God damn it.
01:07:51
Speaker
Too many buttons buttoning.
01:07:57
Speaker
Quinn. I don't remember. It was late. he went Yeah. Quinn. Yours went in the seventh round to to Miami. I'm not.
01:08:09
Speaker
I have plan that's probably going to go horrible when it's fine. don't know how to feel about that. Miami went very offensive, defensive line heavy. They drafted.
01:08:21
Speaker
They needed to. defensive Defensive tackle in the first round, an offensive guard in the second round, a defensive tackle in the fifth round, a DB in the fifth round, another DB in the fifth round.
01:08:34
Speaker
a running back in the sixth round, Ewers in seventh, and then a defensive lineman in the seventh round. So they definitely addressed. You need somebody to protect Tua because Tua's getting his fucking... Bellrong regularly, religiously.
01:08:47
Speaker
He's getting his eggs scrambled. He needs you a cluster strike, bro. What the fuck? He needs you a cluster strike, bro. you So... yeah yeah Yeah, the draft, I think, was pretty good.
01:09:04
Speaker
Like I said, I wish they would, like you and I both agree, I wish they would shorten it up because it's fucking retarded. I mean, I understand it's a spectacle and it's an event, but not four hours.
01:09:17
Speaker
No, doesn't need to be. second time hes It does not need to be four hour. know so No rhyme or reason for it. No. When they can move through the next fucking six rounds in six hours.
01:09:32
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. They make this big hype about round one and why. So either way, the draft is over. Now we wait.
01:09:42
Speaker
What do we got? We got May, June, July. So we got three and a half months before we start some preseason ball. Yeah, buddy. ota OTAs have already started. ah OTAs have already started in the NFL. That was cool. Like I said, being a Cleveland fan, obviously I'm not following all 32 teams on social media.
01:10:00
Speaker
But I do follow the Browns. um You've seen some veterans showing up at the OTAs. I like see that. I don't like to see guys trying to play like they don't need to be at the OTAs.
01:10:11
Speaker
Yeah, showing up. I think they're setting a good example for the young guys. yeah ah There's a culture and a standard in locker rooms, and I think that your veterans showing up and showing and and being there is huge.
01:10:23
Speaker
Not only that, but getting to see some of the the the defensive guys practice with the younger guys. the defensive veterans, you're building that chemistry and that connection to where God forbid there's an injury or something like that.
01:10:38
Speaker
And that kid has to step up for, you know, the guy he's backing up. He's already familiar with the, with the play style and all that stuff. So I like it. I dig it, man. I like these teams that have a good culture in the locker room and and a standard that the the the veterans keep on lock.
01:10:57
Speaker
So I'm curious to see the new guys come in that were drafted. So definitely ready. We are definitely ready for some more foosball around here. ah i keep I keep meaning to keep up on the UFL, but, man, I cannot i cannot remember. um how Real quick. and games are One thing i'm I'm impressed to see – and I hate to constantly reference Bills, but much like you, you follow Cleveland, I follow Buffalo.
01:11:27
Speaker
um Josh Allen's ability to disconnect from football for a few months and kind of clear his mind, when he showed up to OTAs in the building, he had to grab one of the managers and go, hey, man, is that Trey White?
01:11:42
Speaker
And he's like, yeah. didn't even know that picked Trey White back up from, you know, as ah as a free agent or whatever. So that really... what um wall was that Josh was able to disconnect from football for a little while. Focus on his fiance. Congratulations, Josh getting engaged in everything with a $70,000 rock to Haley Steinbilt, whatever like that. But he totally did. He totally disconnected from football for a few months, and that's great because I think he needs to. I think it helps him.
01:12:10
Speaker
I think all the players should be able to do that a little bit, you know, not make it their sole focus all the time.
01:12:17
Speaker
So...
01:12:20
Speaker
Rick the dick. Didn't get my dick picked this morning.
01:12:29
Speaker
um Yeah, no, I like that when players can. Because it's kind of like what I do on Sundays. I kind of unplug from everything and reset for the week.
01:12:40
Speaker
You got to have that. You got to have that reset. Yep. Yep.
01:12:48
Speaker
Yep, that's ah that's a big, big deal.
01:12:52
Speaker
i don't I don't want the schedule. I want to know. Schedule hasn't released yet, by the way. The NFL schedule drops May 14th. The schedule's out.
01:13:03
Speaker
it's are the The teams have been announced. hes not announced Yeah. So that's what we found out Thursday night that this year, which is really cool for our show, because this year the Cleveland Browns host...
01:13:16
Speaker
both Buffalo and Tennessee in Cleveland. So that's cool for our show because I'm a Browns fan. Rick is a... That could be a fun game for us to broadcast through.
01:13:28
Speaker
Yeah, and Derek is is a Tennessee Titans fan. so um and and And Rick and I being honorary members of each other's fan club. Yeah. I mean, ultimately, I want the Bills to win, but as long as it's a really good game, I'm not going to be upset.
01:13:45
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. Like, we're going to talk shit, of course, but it's not going to be like if we both hated each other's teams. And you can't help can't hate the Titans because what have they done to anybody lately? Correct.
01:13:59
Speaker
You just got to kind of feel sorry for Correct. what ah so But they could have a turnaround year this year. they they you know They drafted, in my mind, halfway decent, so they could have turnaround year. they drafted pretty well.
01:14:12
Speaker
They, uh, They definitely drafted pretty well. they they they i think I think what I'm taking away from the draft this year, the teams that you look at is you don't see it every year. But I think this year, man, they really hit home. You Chris are going opposite directions.
01:14:32
Speaker
They really hit home drafting and hitting their needs. Those spots that needed to be filled and those voids in teams. They really hit them, man. Spot on. So...
01:14:44
Speaker
But other than that, ah we don't have to beat the draft horse ah to death. I mean, it's – I think everybody here on the show is pretty happy with their with their team's draft.
01:14:58
Speaker
Lord knows I am. Shout out to Cleveland Browns getting the only A-plus but Mel Kiper. Yeah. Even though yeah he's a fucking retard. That's like getting a gold medal from the Special Olympics winner because his draft analysis or mock drafts were an absolute joke right off the bat.
01:15:17
Speaker
He was busted by the sixth pick overall. i i was I had screenshotted a couple like couple of the professionals mock draft top ten and dude, they were blown up after the first pick.
01:15:35
Speaker
They were just, yeah just blown to hell. Um, so, yeah but I mean, you could, you could have all the knowledge in the world, but, uh, you don't know what's happening now in the, uh, in the, uh, what, I don't know what they call it anymore. The, the, I used to be called the war room, but apparently you can't call it that no more.
01:15:55
Speaker
So when they're drafting, so, but, anywho while you got your you got your ears on out there wally um appreciate y'all listening appreciate y'all hanging out uh need get all the money you can yeah get all the money i can't uh well why i got in a situation where him and one other guy on their team are still alive and that's it they play on plunder No, they're playing regular Warzone Casuals.
01:16:24
Speaker
And ah he needs to go and buy back some teammates, which he has the money to go and buy back the whole fucking team right now. yeah But he can't go to that buy station, so. He just fucked off at me, so I'm going to put my cigarette out on his nose. so
01:16:39
Speaker
um But I appreciate y'all listening. appreciate y'all hanging out. Hopefully you enjoyed the show. Hopefully you enjoyed our coverage of the draft Thursday night. We had a lot of fun doing it.

01:16:53
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, definitely. Definitely a lot longer. I didn't plan on covering the full draft, but we got a lot. It was almost 1130 when Buffalo made their pick and they were third from last. So what the fuck, bro? Yeah, exactly. so um definitely Definitely shorten that
