00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.359
Get some facts and come back and
Seebee. Get some facts and come back

2
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:20.679
and Seebee. Don't throw up salaries
or other things. Get some facts and

3
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.960
come back and Seebee. You can't
handle the true I told our players you

4
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:27.760
need a bit more like a dog. We don't need a bunch of cats

5
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.399
in here looking in the mirror.
But I look good. I got my

6
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.280
extra bands on, I got my
other shoes. Be a doll. We

7
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.920
don't need no meals. We don't
need no cats. We need more dolls.

8
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:44.119
Why you're not a detain Oh you're
not. At the day we weren't

9
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:46.600
good. There's no sense of asking
me things about the game. I'm telling

10
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.079
you we laid an egg. So
I'm not gonna break it down for you.

11
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:54.039
He sucks. He sucked. He
laid an egg. That's all I

12
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.280
have to say. Guys, I'm
sorry. I'm not gonna break it down

13
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.320
for you. Nothing went well for
us. It's on us. We have

14
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.560
to figure it out every way,
Yo, Dad, All right, things

15
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:10.040
went well for the Tigers yesterday and
their win over Cleveland. Offensively, it

16
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:14.079
went well. You see, sometimes
in baseball, sometimes the offense is good

17
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:18.560
and the pitching not so good.
Sometimes the pitching's really good, the offense

18
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.879
not so good. The beauty of
baseball for teams that play well on a

19
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:30.640
regular basis is they get both.
We want that. It's not always easy

20
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.640
to achieve, but that's what you
strive for. Welcome to the Final Hour

21
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.159
of ex'es and Bros. Monday through
Friday, six till nine throughout the great

22
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.040
State of Michigan. I'm Matt Shepard. Ben is our producer. You can

23
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.400
call him on the Meyer hotline eight
sixty six eight three, eight forty eight

24
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:51.480
forty three. You can text US
Sports Radio to twenty one thousand. Tigers

25
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:56.879
do win eleven to seven over Cleveland
yesterday. Andy Abanye is the offensive hero

26
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.599
four for four, a walk,
four runs or drives in for two home

27
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:07.879
runs and he was on base five
times. The concern has to be Kent

28
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:14.479
Tomieta two innings, seven runs allowed, the era just under seven in seven

29
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.599
starts. And we said this in
the six o'clock hour in case you missed

30
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:22.120
it. This is a guy who, you know, the most starts since

31
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.800
his rookie year, most starts he's
had his twenty six, he's at seven

32
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:31.319
right now. If you get twenty
two like he got a year ago.

33
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:36.719
You're almost at thirty three percent of
your starts. When are you going to

34
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:44.560
judge Slash recognize who he is and
what he is capable of. That's up

35
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:50.520
to you. I'm not going to
necessarily do that right now, but I'm

36
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:57.520
going to tell you that this is
a growing concern. Guy makes fourteen million

37
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.240
bucks. He's not a two year
deal. He's got to get right.

38
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:06.680
It's important. Rangers beat the Hurricanes
in double overtime, four to three.

39
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.520
Vincent Trocheck with the game winner.
Colorado comes from three goals down, uses

40
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:15.639
overtime to beat Dallas for three.
Miles Wood the hero san ose the worst

41
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:19.840
team in the NHL rewarded for it, they are. They're gonna get the

42
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:22.919
number one pick in the draft.
The three finals for the Hard Trophy Nathan

43
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:30.639
McKinnon Colorado, Connor McDavid Edmonton,
and Tampa's Nikita kuchirov No Austin Matthews.

44
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:38.400
Despite scoring a league high sixty nine
goals in the NBA Boston beats up Cleveland

45
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:44.319
won twenty to ninety five. Derek
White is such an interesting story. A

46
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:51.560
late round draft pick. Twenty eight
triples over a six game playoff span,

47
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:57.960
which is the most in Boston Celtics
playoff history. I would have guessed Paul

48
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.439
Piercer, Larry Bird. I wouldn't
have gone so far as to say Chris

49
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.360
Ford. I would have said the
other two. But the answer is Derek

50
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:11.240
White. He is the franchise leader
in that category. And Shay gilgis Alexander,

51
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.199
who's a better player than most of
it. If he didn't play in

52
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.199
OKC, dot dot dot. We
hear that all the time, don't we

53
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.399
If he didn't if he played in
Boston or New York or Los Angeles,

54
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:24.839
Well, he plays in Oka.
See this, dude is awesome. Twenty

55
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.519
nine points, nine boards, nine
dimes. He and OKC handled Dallas one

56
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:34.079
seventeen ninety five. Would not be
surprised if that series is a sweep because

57
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:39.839
OKC plays both ends of the floor
and they're deep. Dallas is more of

58
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:45.319
an offensive minded team and they're not
deep. And Rudy Gobert wins a Defensive

59
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.399
Player of the Year award. That's
the fourth time that's happened in his career,

60
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.480
the other three with Utah, this
one with Minnesota. There's only two

61
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.680
other players in the history of the
NBA who have won the Defensive Player of

62
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.279
the Year award four time times.
And one of them's a piston and it's

63
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:06.720
Ben Wallace. The other guy,
by the way, is to Kenny mcdumbo,

64
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.680
let's get to some techs because Ben's
been waiting and chomping at the bit

65
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.920
to give it to us. Yeah, and then we got some great players

66
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:20.519
that were texted in Charlie Ward,
Tony Gwynn, JJ Evans, and Carl

67
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:30.000
Weathers. Carl Weather's the actor a
little bit of a cup of coffee.

68
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:40.040
Tony Gwynn good point. But Tony
Gwynn is baseball and basketball, not football

69
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.639
and basketball. Otherwise you can go
Kenny Lofton. Kenny Lofton was point guard

70
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:48.920
at Arizona, so we weren't necessarily
focused on dual athletes. There's plenty of

71
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:56.920
those. We were focused on football
and basketball. Because Austin Rivers told Pat

72
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:01.240
McAfee in a podcast or on his
TV show, I should say that he

73
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.600
could name thirty players right now in
the NBA who could play in the NFL.

74
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:08.759
I'd love to know who those thirty
players are. So if he were

75
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:13.319
on my show and he said that, I would say go right away,

76
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.839
I'd say, all right, go, who are they? I know who

77
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.759
the first name is going to be. It's going to be Lebron James.

78
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.839
I'd love to know who else?
Who else is it going to be?

79
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.519
Now, keep in mind, this
is not a knock on Lebron James.

80
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:34.920
He's an amazing athlete, arguably the
best you've ever seen, because what he

81
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:44.079
did in high school and the recruiting. The letters he got for football speak

82
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:50.639
for themselves. His numbers in high
school amazing, one hundred rocks, you

83
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:58.000
know, two thousand yards, getting
letters from Miami and Alabama and Auburn and

84
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.319
Georgian places like that. I've told
you this story Byron Buxton, who plays

85
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:06.560
in Major League Baseball from the Minnesota
Twins. He was a highly recruited wide

86
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:12.399
receiver for Georgia but chose to focus
on baseball. The point is, I'd

87
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.439
love to know from Austin Rivers,
who, besides Lebron James, who else.

88
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.040
Don't just give me a guy who's
well, he was athletic. A

89
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:27.040
lot of NBA guys are athletic,
super athletic. I don't think Luka Doncic

90
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:30.680
could play in the NBA or in
the NFL. He's a hell of a

91
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:36.959
player in the NBA, and he's
really athletic. Now Anthony Edwards, Yeah,

92
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:40.199
I could buy that. I don't
know what his background is. I

93
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.839
don't know if Anthony Edwards played high
school football, and if he did,

94
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.959
I don't care. Did Kirby Smart? Do you think there's ever a time

95
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:51.040
when Anthony Edwards was at Georgia that
Kirby Smart thought, let's see if this

96
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:56.560
kid can play football? I don't
know that, but I doubt you can

97
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:01.480
name thirty and JJ Watt pushback.
That's the reason for the text. What

98
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.959
else we got, Ben? Yeah, it says I want to see rag

99
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.120
Now on the Pistons. They need
a player who can lead and play every

100
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:15.720
game through tough times. Yeah.
I'd love to see Frank Ragnow too,

101
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:20.759
because he'd clear space. Now,
here's the smart alec in me. He

102
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.360
didn't play every game. He got
hurt too. Might might not be the

103
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.839
best example. Penney School. Maybe
how about that? Can we do that

104
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:35.679
instead? Jack Campbell? I mean, big tough, strong guys. Here's

105
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.759
the problem, though, we're not
being too serious about this. What the

106
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.200
Pistons needs a shooter. They don't
need they don't need a space cleaner.

107
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.840
They need a shooter more than anything
else. But that's funny. That's a

108
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.039
good one. Anybody else on a
text Yeah, it says for multi sports.

109
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.720
I think of three guys, Gibby, Dave Winfield, and probably the

110
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:03.120
best Bo Jackson. Yeah. Bo
Jackson was just an amazing Dean Sanders was

111
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.679
really good too then, and that's
why I brought up Brian Jordan too.

112
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.320
I mean, he's the forgotten guy. Brian Jordan played for the Braves and

113
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:15.120
played for the Falcons. He's the
forgotten guy he was. He's a safety

114
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.279
and he was an outfielder and he
was pretty damn good man. He didn't

115
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:26.159
have the highlight reel plays in football
that Dion Sanders had or Bo Jackson had,

116
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.960
and Bo Jackson had him in football
and in baseball because Bo Jackson possessed

117
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.519
a howitzer like you would not believe, one of the best arms you've ever

126
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.600
of those following the Tigers feel Lefty
Tek schoobl is an ace. You know,

a guy who gives your team a

can stop a long losing streak in addition

129
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.440
to his electrifying stuff. His numbers
so far this year proved that well.

130
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.799
On this date in twenty eleven,
another Tigers ace, Justin Verlander, threw

131
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.279
his second no hitter. He did
it against the Blue Jays in Toronto in

132
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:33.120
a nine to nothing blow out win. Only an eighth inning walk to JP

133
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.159
R and Sibia kept Verlander from a
perfect game. He has three no hitters

134
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:45.080
in his career, just the sixth
pitcher to ever have that many. April

141
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.000
I've said this for a long time, and the reason I've said it is

142
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:46.879
because it is It's true, and
that's the NFL is better at marketing themselves,

143
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.559
their product, and their athletes than
any other league. It's not even

144
00:11:52.600 --> 00:12:01.480
close. Why leagues don't copy them
more, I don't know, but they

145
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:09.240
keep themselves in the news on a
regular basis, and writers write about them

146
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.559
all the time, right about the
league, and I mean update it.

147
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.159
You'll go to some websites and you'll
look at the other leagues and it'll be

148
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.080
kind of the same headlines from the
day before. The NFL is fresh.

149
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:31.440
There's always an opinion on something.
It's captivating. They're still breaking down the

150
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:39.399
best drafts. They are still breaking
down who people feel will have the best

151
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:50.399
rookie year. A recent article I
read seven rookies were selected to the NFL

152
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:56.080
Pro Bowl a year ago, who
has that chance this year? And then

153
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:01.399
they break down various categories who had
the most success during the draft. A

154
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.000
lot of people feel like it's Chicago. When you can put together a Dunzee

155
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:11.799
in Williams, that's pretty impressive.
I would argue, and I think others

156
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:20.799
have said the same, that the
Pittsburgh Steelers probably had the best draft.

157
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:28.559
Troy Fatano, Zach Frasier, Roman
Wilson, Peyton Wilson, Mason McCormick.

158
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.840
Primarily the trenches front seven if you
want to include a linebacker. So of

159
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:41.960
their what one, two, three, four, five, five first picks,

160
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:46.879
I think it's fair to say four
were in the trenches, and actually

161
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.720
five of their first six were in
the trenches, So I would argue that.

162
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.200
But if people want to say the
Bears, that's cool. Some people

163
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.360
feel like Washington, Jayden Daniel,
Johnny Newton, Mike Sanders still out of

164
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:09.600
Michigan, Luke McCaffrey wide receiver.
They break down who had the worst Who

165
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.559
do they think is going to be
offensive rookie of the Year. I would

166
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:20.000
side a little bit toward Malik neighbors
personally. But that's because I really like

167
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:24.200
neighbors. I have to remember,
somebody's got to be able to get them

168
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.679
the ball. How confident do you
feel that Daniel Jones would be able to

169
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:35.320
do that? I don't know.
When they wrote Defensive Rookie of the Year,

170
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:45.799
Terry On Arnold's name was the first
mentioned. And here's what Josh Edwards

171
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:50.360
of CBS Sports wrote about Terry On
Arnold. The decision boiled down to either

172
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:58.279
the Colts pass Rusher out to Lafu
lat too rather and Arnold, and he

173
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.799
said, I want to provide this
perspective when it comes to Rookie of the

174
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.799
Year on ours. You're looking for
an impact performer who's ready to contribute from

175
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:11.519
week one. I'm sure a lot
two will be ready to contribute week one

176
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.000
for the Colts too. But whatever, he says, Arnold plays for a

177
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.120
Detroit team that should make a run
in the playoffs. Okay, that's a

178
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.759
wasted sentence. I mean, what's
your first reaction to that? No,

179
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:30.279
blank, no kidding. He said, it also has an attacking front,

180
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:35.039
which should allow him to capitalize on
the back end. Not great insight,

181
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.200
but the thought that of all the
defensive players taken, and this takes everybody

182
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:45.679
into account, not just first rounders, of all the defensive players taken,

183
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.960
he did think highly enough of Detroit's
Terry on Arnold to do that. That's

184
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.519
cool, we like that. I'm
sure you expect the same. Not necessary

185
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.840
a rookie of the year, but
from week one he'll be a starter.

186
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.360
I don't think there's any question about
that. I think it's a pretty valid

187
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:06.000
point. When you're talking about an
attacking front, find me a defense who's

188
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:11.039
front four doesn't attack. If you've
got a defense who's front four doesn't attack,

189
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.440
you're not playing football, or you're
sure as hell not playing successful football.

190
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:22.159
Right. Those are words just to
take up some space. As far

191
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:27.399
as I'm concerned, Detroit should make
a run in the playoffs, No kidding.

192
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.039
They made the NFC Championship Game a
year ago. They got better in

193
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:40.320
the offseason. Yes, there's no
question they should make a run in the

194
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:45.360
playoffs. And if they don't,
and many would argue in Detroit, if

195
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:49.720
you don't make the super Bowl,
it's not a successful season. Now you

196
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:52.360
may shake your head, some may
shake their head and say, come on,

197
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.200
man, I mean a lot of
things have to go right, so

198
00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:00.519
on and so hey, when your
franchise has never been there, when you've

199
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:06.519
got that window of opportunity, when
you have an architect like Brad Holmes as

200
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:11.319
a coach who demands respect and appreciation
in Dan Campbell, and you've got the

201
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:17.599
talent Detroit has, and it's relatively
young, and there's a perfect mix,

202
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.519
we think, a perfect mix,
and they're going to do whatever they can,

203
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.960
especially at the trade deadline, to
fill in the holes. You're damn

204
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:32.880
right, you have high expectations.
That's a good thing. It's a really

205
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:34.920
good thing to say. You know
what, we're on the right track now.

206
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:38.799
We've reached what we think will be
the pinnacle. It's not the Orlando

207
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:45.480
Magic basketball team. We talked about
it on Monday, Paula Ben Carl What

208
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.720
did he say. There's a lot
of reasons to be optimistic. They were

209
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:55.319
okay, not that they wanted this, but they understand the situation. So

210
00:17:55.480 --> 00:18:00.960
they were okay reaching the postseason and
losing in Game seven to Cleveland. They're

211
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:06.960
dealing with it because they feel like
it's the footprint, it's the start of

212
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:11.119
what they consider to be something big
Lions fans have already gone through that.

213
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:14.920
They went through that two years ago, not this past year, but two

214
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:23.119
years ago. Last year was the
next step. This year needs to be

215
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:29.039
the final voyage and what they hope
will be the start of something big.

216
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:34.559
A nice little run here, not
saying a Kansas City Chiefs run where you're

217
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:40.160
winning super Bowls, you know,
and playing super Bowls and four out of

218
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:48.359
five or three out of four whatever
we're talking about getting there and then you

219
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.000
feel like, yeah, got a
chance to win it. Other teams have

220
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.680
had that opportunity San Francisco under Kyle
Shanahan and not been able to kick in

221
00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.960
the door. But don't give me
this is a team that should make a

222
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:07.039
run in the playoffs. No,
this is a team that expects to make

223
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:14.759
the Super Bowl. What a refreshing
feeling that is going into training camp this

224
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:22.160
year. A team that other teams
want to be like, a team a

225
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:30.319
fan base that other fans wish they
could be, or even better or just

226
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.759
as good, I should say,
a fan base where others would go,

227
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.680
yeah, I want to see them
do well. Now. Some of that,

228
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:47.400
unfortunately has to do with the past
ineptitude of this franchise, but they

229
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:51.319
still feel I think a lot of
people around the NFL. If my team

230
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:59.440
can't win, I wouldn't mind seeing
this team do just that. And I

231
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:04.880
think that's that's a pretty cool feeling
that Lions fans can embrace, and I

232
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:11.559
think they will. And it starts, you know, with the established veterans

233
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.200
that they have, but some of
this new blood that they have in camp

234
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:19.519
soon and it starts with Terry on
Arnold. Now there's a really cool story,

235
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:26.720
a special story about another Lions draft
pick. I don't know if you've

236
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.720
heard this one yet, but we'll
get to that when we come back.

Boston started the game on a twelve to

259
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.559
two run. Jalen Brad what I
still have it ahead of the answer defensive

260
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.240
one for you. I'm not shooting
that. He's kind of pushing that that

261
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:37.559
jump book there, there's got to
be a little more committed to it.

262
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:45.400
Jalen Brown snaps another through the men
to kind of just settle the nerve for

263
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.559
this young Chad's group. So it's
an eleven point Game seven three of the

264
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:55.720
Niger Garland. Jalen blown. I'll
call hit three to six from beef in

265
00:22:55.839 --> 00:23:00.160
first half. Jalen Brown knife sin
trying to challenge mold late master for his

266
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:07.640
team in tight good driving kick into
the quarter. Three point at that time,

267
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:12.480
I'll go from old corrals. Jalen
Brown stops on a dime and he

268
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:29.000
burries another triple. It was amazing
last night. Jalen Brown got to see

269
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:33.599
a TNT by the way. Jalen
Brown taking control leading the Celtics of the

270
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:37.880
Caws one twenty to ninety five.
Brown out of the University of California last

271
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:45.880
night, thirty four minutes twelve for
eighteen four from six from deep thirty two

272
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:51.599
points to lead all scorers, and
Boston takes Game one Welcome back, Exes

273
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:56.839
and Burros Monday through Friday six till
nine. Brown the third overall pick in

274
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:04.240
the NBA draft back in two thousand
sixteen. Would you take Jaylen Brown over

275
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:11.440
Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram. This
is what we do all the time.

276
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:18.440
I do it constantly. Looking back, I remember that draft and thinking,

277
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:22.440
man, buddy healed can shoot,
he can flat out get it done.

278
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.799
And I liked the kid by the
name of Tarian Prince out of Baylor.

279
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.799
Now with the top five pick,
I'm just saying I really liked him.

280
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.640
Jaylen Brown has been the best player. Well, Jamal Murray was in that

281
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:40.880
draft too. Jamal Murray was pretty
damn good. Would take any of those

282
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:45.519
guys. I talked about this the
other day. That's the year the Pistons

283
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:51.359
wisely took Henry Ellenson, who played
one year at Marquette. Needed a shooter,

284
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:55.640
got to take him. Karris LeVert
was there for them, but so

285
00:24:55.960 --> 00:25:04.920
was Pascal Siakam. Hostal Siakam has
been damn good. You'd take him in

286
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:11.599
a minute. Guys drop for whatever
reason they fall. Jalen Brown didn't,

287
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.880
but he's been the better of the
top three picks. And you could argue

288
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:19.240
the best player in that draft,
Murray would probably be right behind him.

289
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:23.400
Welcome back, Exus and Bros.
The Meyer Hotline eight six six eight three

290
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:32.880
eight forty eight forty three. Let
we said this regarding the NFL Draft and

291
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:38.480
the Lions in the last segment,
and how a website predicted Terryan Allen Arnold

292
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:45.599
rather being a Rookie of the Year
candidate defensive Rookie of the Year candidate.

293
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:49.079
I don't know if Ennis Rakestraw will
be I don't even know if he's going

294
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:55.440
to start. The scouting report on
him is that he's got really good length.

295
00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:00.240
He's got a really good start and
stopability, which is kind of an

296
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.799
deraded trait for corners because guys,
do you know, double moves all the

297
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:10.799
time, does a really good job
of mirroring receivers. He's got great instincts,

298
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:18.039
good he reads things really well.
He's really tough as a run defender,

299
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:22.119
fights off blocks really well, tackles
well, all things that you definitely

300
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:26.240
want. And it's a reason he
was taken, you know, in the

301
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:33.160
second round, twenty ninth in the
second round. Here's another cool thing about

302
00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:40.720
Ausrakestraw, who was born in Texas, but grew up just outside of Dallas.

303
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:45.400
When he was selected, he fulfilled. Every kid's dream is to do

304
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:47.839
this, right. I mean,
if you play football is a little leager

305
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:51.680
and you have some type of success, you're probably thinking of yourself, Man,

306
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:52.839
I want to do this for the
rest of my life. Who doesn't

307
00:26:52.839 --> 00:27:00.319
want to be a professional athlete.
All these kids playing in playgrounds, I

308
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:07.240
mean, they they got dreams.
Not all of them are realistic, and

309
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:10.880
maybe not all of them are for
quote unquote the sport that they're playing.

310
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:18.480
But there's a fleeting moment there where
you envision yourself doing that. I know

311
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:23.720
me and my friends did well.
We were playing baseball. We wanted to

312
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:26.839
be a Tiger. When we go
to a baseball game, we wanted to

313
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:33.519
be a Tiger when we went to
a football game. We wanted to play

314
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:40.599
for the Detroit Lions. At some
point, realism kicks in and you're like,

315
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:44.559
this is never going to happen.
But it's still fun to dream,

316
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:48.480
right, Who in the backyard doesn't
feel like I want to make the winning

317
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:52.640
play. I want to direct the
winning drive. All that stuff, right,

318
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.559
all the stuff that Joe Burrow has
lived and Josh Allen has lived,

319
00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:00.960
and Pat Mahomes has lived all that
stuff well. When Rakestraw was in fourth

320
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:10.079
grade, he wrote a letter to
one of his teachers because Rakestraw had some

321
00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:18.640
tough times growing up. I don't
know if you saw this, but it's

322
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.599
pretty awesome that he's chasing a dream. I get kind of choked up thinking

323
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:26.359
about it and reading about it.
But he wrote a letter to his teacher

324
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:30.640
that he still hans, and this
is what he wrote. You're the best

325
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:36.839
teacher ever. Her name is or
the name is mister Gammont. Teacher is,

326
00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:41.279
mister Gammont. You always had my
back. You gave me confidence.

327
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:45.119
When my little brother had a seizure, you gave me food and snacks.

328
00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:52.240
I wish I didn't want to leave
you, but I have to. I

329
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:56.839
hope you come and see me.
Please come see me, I hope because

330
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:00.880
I miss you. You know again. He's in fourth grade, so he's

331
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:04.039
writing. It's a little awkward and
not exactly perfect, but who cares,

332
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:08.440
He says. He wrote, I
hope you're alive because if I make it

333
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:12.720
to a professional football player, I
will talk about you. Please give me

334
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:22.000
your phone number, And he's doing
that. His former elementary school teacher caught

335
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:30.960
wind of this because he posted it
on social media and responding talking about the

336
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:36.279
great pride that he has. You
put it out there ten years old and

337
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:41.359
made it happen. I have no
words how proud I am of you telling

338
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:45.680
everyone I played with you and against
you through multiple touchdowns. You and you.

339
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:48.400
Yes it was recess, but it
was technically true. You know.

340
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:56.480
It's kind of a funny aspect of
it. The impact, you know,

341
00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:02.119
what you get out of this dream? For sure, this is one of

342
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:07.319
the many things I love about sports. The dream is there, Absolutely the

343
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:14.640
encouragement, the impact you have,
in this case a grade school teacher,

344
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:25.240
a grade school teacher in Dallas by
the name of mister Gammon for inness,

345
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:30.559
Rakestraw, or a coach. If
you are a coach and you impact a

346
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:34.759
player, whether that player makes it
to the highest level or not, really

347
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:41.839
is not as significant as the impact
you're having on that person. Whether it

348
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:47.079
be tough love. Some guys don't
mind being coach tough Terry on Arnold,

349
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:52.039
That's a big reason I loved that
draft pick. Sure he's really talented.

350
00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.599
Sure he's one of the best cover
corners in the draft. Mitchell for Toledo,

351
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:07.559
Quinion Mitchell or terry On Arnold take
your pick, but Arnold apparently was

352
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:14.640
number one on the Lions board.
Yeah. I love that about him.

353
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:18.680
But I love the fact that he
doesn't mind being coached hard. While he

354
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:30.599
was at Alabama, Rekestraw has had
to fight for everything he's gotten, like

355
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:37.680
many players in many sports. But
the appreciation that he has from way back

356
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:44.599
when he was ten years old,
and then the impact that that teacher had,

357
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:49.920
it's a beautiful story. I'm sure
there's a lot of people who are

358
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:55.680
listening who are coaches themselves, little
league coaches, and I hope we all

359
00:31:55.799 --> 00:32:02.119
keep it in perspective. I hope
you recognize that you're not winning the Vince

360
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:07.519
Lombardi Trophy in football. Okay,
it'd be great to lead your team,

361
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:10.519
your little league team, your travel
team, or your house league or your

362
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:19.400
whatever league team to a championship,
But how do you lead them number one

363
00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:27.119
and number two? Who gets an
opportunity to be part of it? I

364
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:35.200
sure hope it's everybody. I sure
hope that you take the approach of playing

365
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:39.759
all your players. I've always said
this, once you get divarsity in high

366
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:44.680
school, all bets are off.
You're playing the best players, there's no

367
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:50.599
doubt about that. But while you're
coaching kids early on in life, what

368
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:57.160
is the coach's job. You're there
as a volunteer. Kudos. Your job

369
00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:02.799
isn't first and foremost to make your
son or daughter better. Your job,

370
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:08.720
I think, is to make all
players better. But all players enjoy the

371
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:14.839
sport they're playing, so they want
to keep playing it and hopefully one day

372
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:22.119
they give back as long as you're
not putting them in harm's way. I

373
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:27.200
coached all my kids in football and
baseball to a certain point. At some

374
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:30.960
point you've got to let them go, right. But the impact you can

375
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:37.240
have, I think is everlasting because
you make those relationships with young men who

376
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:43.200
then go on and play high school. One of the better compliments friends of

377
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:50.279
mine and I ever received while coaching
kids in grade school football is those kids

378
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:54.839
went to high school and we didn't
win a championship in grade school. It's

379
00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:59.480
not like we were out there celebrating. Hey, here we go. Now,

380
00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:01.680
this is what it's all about.
We get to put a trophy in

381
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:05.480
the school's trophy case. That'd be
great, it would be it'd be a

382
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:07.800
lot of fun. And that was
part of the reason you're out there competing.

383
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:13.519
You want to compete, you want
to win. Not a big believer

384
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:22.119
in the runners up trophies and all
that other stuff. But when the kids

385
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:27.480
get to high school. At a
high school coach says you've been well coached,

386
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:32.400
That to me meant more than anything
else. And the fact that every

387
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:42.280
kid played and participated, knowing that
the week's worth of practices were worth it

388
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:52.800
to him or her, that was
most important. Being fair with all your

389
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:59.760
kids and wanting them or hoping that
they want to play. Hey, you're

390
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:02.480
going to playing high school. Absolutely, that tells you something. They don't

391
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:07.079
just love the sport, but they
loved being coached by you. That's awesome.

392
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:12.639
It's not about the parents, it's
about the kids, you know.

393
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:16.480
At some point, I mean,
you've had your time as a parent to

394
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:22.239
be who you are. Now you
get a chance to dive into your kid's

395
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:30.079
life and let them be who they're
going to be. I coach my daughter

396
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:37.519
too in the off season in lacrosse, and some of those girls, I

397
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:43.559
coached a lot of them, just
like I coached the boys. Strict,

398
00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:49.039
tough at times, have some fun. Absolutely, but this was high school.

399
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:52.920
Now, in the off season when
coaches can't be part of them.

400
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:59.079
I remember bringing the girls together and
saying, listen, if it's too much,

401
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:01.800
if you do I don't like how
I'm pushing you, if you don't

402
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:07.280
like how I'm coaching, let's talk
about it. Let's make sure that you're

403
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:13.880
all right with the direction we're taking
these practices, because the last thing I

404
00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:19.320
want you to do is come in
on a Sunday morning indoors in the winter

405
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:22.920
time, when it's chilly, You're
getting up early and dreading coming to practice.

406
00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:27.199
Now, we love it, We
want to be pushed, so on

407
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:31.880
and so forth. That's the beauty
of it. That's the impact you have.

408
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:36.480
And then when you have kids come
up to you later on in life

409
00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:39.480
and saying you're one of my favorite
coaches, or when you have a parent

410
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:45.079
come up to you and say,
you know, little Ben said still talks

411
00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:50.199
about you as one of your best
coaches. Doesn't that make it more worth

412
00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:53.880
it than having some trophy that's in
the school showcase when they're in seventh grade.

413
00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:59.400
To me, it does. The
impact this school teacher made on Inness

414
00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:09.039
Rakestraw is immense and pretty cool.
Love that story. Hope we get more

415
00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:14.320
of those, not just for the
Lions, but for sports in general.

416
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:19.360
The impact people make on others and
then the give back. So my hope

417
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:27.039
from that would be Rakestraw's benefited from
it and at some point, and he

418
00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:30.079
sure seems like the kind of kid
who would do this. Kid's probably unfair.

419
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:35.159
The young man who's going to do
this. He's going to use the

420
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:39.400
experience he had with that teacher and
try to make an impact with another young

421
00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:45.480
player or a young fan. At
some point he's going to be a deciding

422
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:51.360
factor in that child's life. Doesn't
have to be his child, just like

423
00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:54.280
it wasn't in his situation. I
mean, you've got a grade school teacher

424
00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:59.280
making that type of impact and it's
a little thing, but it's a big

425
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:05.320
thing to him at the time time. Such a cool story, such a

426
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:10.360
feel good story. And there's so
many of them in sports, so many.

427
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:15.159
I remember when I was a coach, I used to in baseball.

428
00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:21.800
I used if I were trying to
describe or tell a young boy what he

429
00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:27.400
should be doing in the type of
form he should have in pitching or hitting,

430
00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:32.320
or fielding or catching a fly ball, I would find one of my

431
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:37.159
many baseball cards because I still have
them. I still have a ton of

432
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:43.920
them. I would find one of
my baseball cards that kind of explains through

433
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:51.880
picture what I mean, and I
would give them that baseball card. This

434
00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:55.519
is what I'm talking about. It
gives them a visual reference. I mean,

435
00:38:55.599 --> 00:39:00.880
kids today are more in a visual
medium, right. They're constantly on

436
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:06.159
their phones, They're on their iPads, they're on their laptops, they're looking.

437
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:12.719
They're thirsting for information, but visual
information. So trying to describe how

438
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:15.119
you're supposed to hit the ball,
how you're supposed to swivel your hips as

439
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:19.840
a cornerback, how you're supposed to
have a swim move as a football player,

440
00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:27.119
sometimes doesn't necessarily work. But if
you show them, this is the

441
00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:30.960
way Reggie White clubbed his offensive lineman
to get to the quarterback. This is

442
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:37.199
the way Dion Sanders would swivel his
hips when he was guarding a wide receiver.

443
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:43.320
This is how Alan Trammel fielded a
ground ball. And you show them

444
00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:47.280
and they can reference that, it
makes a little bit more of a difference.
