00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:22.839
Noah and said, giving us some
breaking news. Girl says, I on

6
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:30.399
the ball breaking news on Fox Sports
fourteen fifty. We've mentioned Lamar Jackson yet,

7
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.439
said yeah, we did, we
did earlier. Yeah, yeah,

8
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:34.960
yeah, Okay, that's just like
one of many things. First of all,

9
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:42.280
Arizona newsu Arizona man tennis player Jonas
Everts won the Men's Scholar Athlete of

10
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.039
the Year Men's Tennis Scholar Athlete of
the ABI. Very cool award for him.

11
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:50.119
Um, you know he's our top
player but also a scholar. Which

12
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.640
are there's four of us in here, any of us scholars? Are you

13
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:56.200
a scholar? I think no,
is he's maybe he's like he isn't he

14
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.560
in the brain people area? I
would say so if you listen to the

15
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.359
honors program, Oh that's right,
during the honors ye, your parents?

16
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.239
What about you said? Would we
call you a scholar. Yes, oh

17
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.439
he's a four. Oh man,
Steve, we're the dumbest guys in the

18
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.920
room. As Charles Barkley said,
I have a four point zero one point

19
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:19.920
zero one point one point one point
for four years. Okay, John blue

20
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.480
Tarski, all right, Um,
yes, Lamar's deal is the richest like

21
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.599
in NFL history in terms of you
know, yearly salary two sixty for five

22
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:36.519
years. So it was um Jalen
Hurts just a few weeks ago. And

23
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:42.879
it's guaranteed as what again, if
you had one hundred eighty five would you

24
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:48.439
do? I put it on rede
I'll need to advest. But like you,

25
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:49.480
I don't know. I don't know
how much you keep. You need

26
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:56.400
a financial advisors. I disappear,
you wouldn't find me. It's where where

27
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.959
did you go? Where would you
go? Well I'm disappeared? Would you

28
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:01.680
like, okay serious? Would you
stay here? But yeah, of course

29
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.680
yeah, I would stay here,
but not tell anybody. You don't want

30
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:07.000
to go like Hawaii or something,
Well take a trip, but I'm not.

31
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:10.680
Yeah, I'm not going well living
like no, no, no,

32
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.800
no, this is good enough.
The thing about Lamar Jackson's contract, too,

33
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.120
is he didn't have an agent.
Yeah, yeah, it's all his

34
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.680
yeah, crazy crazy yeah. And
then you know the situation with like Anthony

35
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.319
Edwards in the chair, Yeah,
like hit two people. So his his

36
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:30.400
um the lawyer says that his his
assault charges were baseless. So I mean

37
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:35.000
it's just like, is there any
video of it, any video, but

38
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.199
it barely shows anything. It's like
he doesn't even look like it hits them,

39
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:38.479
but like gets near them, the
kind of act like they got hit.

40
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:43.120
Did they flop? Yeah, they
like I don't even know if they

41
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.479
were touched. Like it's it's bad. They did like a nicole. It

42
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:52.120
is what it is. Um,
the Commanders have you don't declined the Chase

43
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.199
Young's player option, so he might
get traded. There's a chance he might

44
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:59.639
get traded for the season starts.
Well, you know that guy, he

45
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.240
was really good. I still think
he can't be really good. He hasn't

46
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.680
really had like a chance to kind
of show his potentially got hurt. But

47
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.520
I play for the Commanders. It's
just it's just an awful place to He's

48
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:09.879
like a freaking nature. I think
he has a good chance to be one

49
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.639
of the best defense players in the
NFL. For like for years like he

50
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.080
is. I just feel like he's
a generational guy. So that's that the

51
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:22.400
Arizona Cardinals might trade down from number
three in the drafts. And there's also

52
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:28.840
a buzz around DeAndre Hopkins getting traded. I've heard Um Ravens well the Pro

53
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.639
Football Talk just tweeted out that they're
there, says hearing the Cardinals are trying

54
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:38.400
to send number three overall and DeAndre
Hopkins to the Titans for the number eleven

55
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:43.000
pick and some more other stuff.
It's just as a lot they're trying to

56
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.080
package DeAndre Hopkins with that number three, so weird. I wonder how Arizona's

57
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.639
coach is feeling. What do you
just why are you getting rid of a

58
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.400
guy like that? I mean,
Kyler Murray's becomes a much worse quarterback without

59
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.919
DeAndre hop without Deandrew Hopkins, unless
they're playing on going and getting some receivers

60
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.000
or know where they can get receive
I mean, that's gotta be I just

61
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.759
I guess they think it's more worth
it's to kind of go for some younger

62
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:08.039
guys with him rather than I think
it's kind of smart if you think about

63
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:12.159
there. They're taking advantage of trade
stock at a time early in Kyler's career

64
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.560
still but like at the same time, we don't know what's gonna happen.

65
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.199
I guess part of it would depend
on what they get for him, all

66
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:23.800
right, And then the college football
playoffs schedule has been like the expanded schedule

67
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.279
format. We can actually sort of
the format is what they've done. So

68
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:31.000
let me run through this because it's
it's kind of important. So they've they've

69
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:36.399
released what a twelve team bracket would
look like, and they're saying that the

70
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.839
first round games, which are almost
like playing game because the first through four

71
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:46.319
seeds get buys, so you got
the five through twelve, I'll have to

72
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.040
play first round games. So those
games will be at the site of the

73
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:54.959
higher seed. Now they're talking about
those games taking place in the third week

74
00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:00.560
of December, and then they're talking
quarterfinal quarter final games where then the top

75
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.079
seeds come in. They're gonna be
played at the Sugar Bowl, the Festive

76
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.839
Bowl, the Peach Bowl, and
the Rose Bowl. And those would be

77
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:15.560
on New Year's Even, New Year's
Day or New Year's Day, New Year's

78
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.519
Even, the day before New Year's
Eve or New Year's Day, and the

79
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:25.720
day after. But they're trying to
avoid with the quarterfinals. With the quarterfinal

80
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:30.720
games is to not go up against
the NFL at all play him during the

81
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.759
week, and then the semi final
games are definitely going to be during the

82
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:40.199
week, probably Thursday in a Friday, because NFL playoffs are running on that

83
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.759
weekend wild card games. So the
two semifinal games will be the Orange Bowl

84
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.839
and the Cotton Bowl, and then
the championship game. They say it's gonna

85
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:55.160
be January twentieth in Atlanta that year. So college football season now it's going

86
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:59.360
to extend to January twenty. That's
a long way, man. That's a

87
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.399
long sea season for somebody. Of
course, if you're winning games and you're

88
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.879
in the championship, I guess you're
okay with that. Um, that's that's

89
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:10.439
kind of like major So okay,
Well, the big news will be later

90
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.560
today or later tonight. The draft
starts here in an hour. I saw

91
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.199
Javier did a pretty good story with
the logan was really good being right,

92
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.360
and you would know this because you
know the history of the football local football.

93
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:26.000
So Mike Dawson, Mike Dawson,
um, some of the other guys,

94
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:32.279
um um, Mike Dawson and um
John Fina, we had him two

95
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:36.240
days ago. Come on, uh
you know yeah, Mike, Yeah,

96
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:40.879
Mike Dawson. Uh, you know, great player at Arizona. Um played

97
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.079
you know a lot of years with
the Cardinals. Um. You know a

98
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.560
guy, a guy who was,
you know, a great player out of

99
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.480
Arizona, Mark Arnison. He wasn't
from here, but he played with the

100
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.319
Cardinals for a bunch of years.
One of the one of Arizona's first top

101
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:57.279
draft picks back in the seventies.
He just passed away at seventy nine.

102
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:01.319
You know, Paul Robinson, Cleo
and Clear. Beijean's great uncle was a

103
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.680
was a high draft pick in a
Rookie of the Year with the Cincinnati Bengals.

104
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:08.839
Um, so, you know,
but first round picks. Man,

105
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.439
he could be the third one,
and he could possibly be the highest.

106
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.519
People have n't going anywhere. From
from about seven to twenty seven, we

107
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:19.439
had John and John's great a couple
of smart, clever and all that stuff.

108
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:26.079
He he overachieved, right because he
was a skinny dude. Ye and

109
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:30.680
he must he had made himself into
that place self, I don't want to

110
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.199
say self made, because he had
a lot of people around him, but

111
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:36.759
he had that drive. Yeah,
Bijean was just is just naturally given.

112
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:42.600
He was born to be this sure
sure right, and I think John Feena

113
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.839
made himself into what he became a
long time NFL player, first round draft

114
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.560
pick. Bijean was going to be
a first round NFL pick when he was

115
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:54.279
six. We could I remember what
it's five six years ago now I was.

116
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.439
Since it's been a while now for
Cadeen it's been almost ten, probably

117
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.920
eight years at least he was twenty
three. Team was his last year.

118
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.800
Yeah, so thirteen ten years ago. God, it's himself long. So

119
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.160
yesterday where he was sixth round,
I think it was in you're thinking he's

120
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.279
better than that, right, Well, he led the league and rushing,

121
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.360
uh, and he was fantastic and
he's still obviously very good, very in

122
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.560
shape. Uh. We try to
get him on the show today. But

123
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:20.920
do you think how good you have
to be? Right to be? Bejean

124
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.959
Robins, Yeah, right right to
be? You know, I mean likely

125
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.800
the first running back taken in the
NFL draft. I mean you know who

126
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:31.480
you're growing up who thinks that.
Let me say this to you, Jay,

127
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.600
because we get an arguments every no
that argument. This is not an

128
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.279
argument. We talk about local kids, right, how how the previous coaching

129
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:45.759
staff ignored or overlooked or whatever word
you want to use, the Ransons and

130
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.440
the the guys that left. Right, he was never gonna say. He

131
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.240
was never gonna say. Well,
and and you know some people, some

132
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:56.919
people make the argument, you know
that you know those guys you know,

133
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:00.519
uh Beijean Robinson, those they weren't
going to Arizona and waste So why you

134
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.440
waste your time recruiting? No,
but you have to. You have to

135
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.360
for this reason. Right, You
can't say you can't. You can't.

136
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.159
You can't just give in, Right, you have to go after him.

137
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.960
And if you don't get him,
you don't get him. But to not

138
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:16.879
go after him like you know,
like you know, like Fiena's kid.

139
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.279
Right. Um, you know I
once asked Ali Farhang, who was a

140
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.720
coach at South Point at the time. He said, why did all these

141
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.799
south Point kids go somewhere else?
He said, because Arizona wasn't first on

142
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:28.799
any of them. Yeah, which
makes no sense, It makes zero sense.

143
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:33.679
You know, you see these guys
in junior high. They should be

144
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.320
on your radar. We talk to
the kid yesterday, the Brian the Carter

145
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.720
writing guys. Arizona was first on
him. Right, that's a last team

146
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:43.960
impression exactly, whether whether he comes
here or not or whatever. That's why

147
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.919
Fiena's kid is that Ucla because Ucla
was first, right, you know,

148
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.879
Ohio State was first on on Lathan
Ransom. You know, I mean that's

149
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.399
you know, you make that impression
and you know that whether you bid deal,

150
00:09:58.279 --> 00:09:58.919
you get him or not, have
to do you know, I mean,

151
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.720
Dick Tomy had to recruit Michael Bates
had to recruit him. He ended

152
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:07.639
up getting him. But if he
hadn't in Bates had gone somewhere else,

153
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.399
people would have been all over deck. You know, you have to go

154
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.360
after these guys. If they're you
know, if they're five stars or whatever,

155
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.320
and they're in your backyard and you're
and you're not on their list,

156
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.600
you know, then people, you
know, then people think things about it.

157
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.600
They think you're not a good recruiter. Whoever. Yeah, so so

158
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.120
a day later, uh, like
I said that the noise out in the

159
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.480
real world of Twitter and or non
real world of Twitter and Facebook. Now,

160
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.240
Tommy Lloyd, things have settled.
He's still the same coach. He's

161
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.200
going after the players. I think
Arizona is going to be fine. And

162
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.440
he's got two commits for twenty twenty
four that you know, can you know,

163
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.080
be the you know, the complexion
of his team, you know that

164
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.519
year. I think once the dust
settles, it's still a while before the

165
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.759
dust settles, things will be okay. And we keep seeing, we keep

166
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:58.200
seeing timelines that the twenty twenty two
TI or the twenty twenty three two the

167
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.919
team that just finished, that team
get wasn't put together till the end of

168
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.879
till the end of the summer.
You know, when when Kylin Boswell reclassified,

169
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.759
you know, uh Henderson and and
uh and Ramy got it. You

170
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.320
know, he got him in July. I mean, I just gotta think

171
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.559
he knows what he's doing. He's
got a sightset on some guys and he's

172
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.720
just gonna get the best guys that
he thinks fit what he does. Because

173
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:24.399
my father would say, you know
what that means, said, yep,

174
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.840
I got from Mexican house. So
I hear that all time. Yeah,

175
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.559
yeah, just calmed down, but
a lot louder. I'm guessing most of

176
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.840
all times will be okay. Don't
worry about it. Yeah, just calmed

177
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.840
down, man, Just calm down. So no, I I agree with

178
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.799
you, Steve. I think you
know, uh, I you know the

179
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.159
only I just didn't want to hear
the fans of Carter Bryant decided he's going

180
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.679
to love that. I remember the
question I post me, is it worse

181
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:54.240
if they don't get him? Then
it is good that they do get him.

182
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.600
They need Tommy needed to get him, just to just shut people up

183
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.799
too, so that so that he
could just go on and stop hearing the

184
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:05.879
barking from the from the peanut gallery, right right, or at least a

185
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.320
sent a silent science a little exactly, okay, exactly. So I'm looking

186
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.320
forward to talking to Justin's we should
you know, you know Justin Spears who

187
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.879
we've sort of been competitors. He's
had his afternoon radio show over on ESPN

188
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:20.200
Radio. Now he does it in
the morning. Let me so we're kind

189
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.080
of like, I'm gonna ask you
a question. You feel weird about this

190
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.000
and we're having him. Note at
all, I was in astrets because we

191
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.759
all we both love Justin. He's
a good kid. Did you see his

192
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.039
Twitter poststory, which one I didn't
you see it. He didn't, must

193
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.440
not you would know what it go
out to break read it. It's a

194
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:41.320
long one, oh about the layoffs. And I kind of wrote him a

195
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:45.279
note apple, I'm happy he's still
working today. He has to get up

196
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.080
to They paid for the trip,
so exactly. Well the point I sent

197
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.639
him a letter through Twitter because you've
been through it. I've been through it.

198
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.519
To the paper closed, you've been
through a few jobs transitions. It's

199
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.399
called life. Man. It sucks. It sucks, it does, but

200
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.320
it happens in the industry. The
newspaper industry is in a bad spot.

201
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.000
And you know, the Star just
keeps laying people off. And people are

202
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:11.840
hurt by that. I mean they
are and and and they can't and look,

203
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.440
I you know one of the businesses
that I worked and I had to

204
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.799
do some layoffs. It's hard,
you know, it's just really hard to

205
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:20.600
walk in and tell somebody, you
know what, you don't have a job

206
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.000
anymore, and there's nothing about you, right, let's just have to and

207
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.840
yeah, it just has to happen. But yes, I did read that

208
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.360
the whole thing. I said.
You know, you got to enjoy what

209
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.039
you do until you can't do it. Anymore, right, And I tell

210
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:33.879
him this all the time because you
know, just for a father of the

211
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.240
advice or whatever. But we've all
been there. We've all been there because

212
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.679
we see it. Yeah, it's
like I use all these ten commandment things,

213
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:46.519
but the cloud that comes to get
the first born you have, you

214
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:48.799
can't do. What can't about it? Right to become and creepy, You

like the barbecue out here in Kansas City

273
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.240
as much as like snort hot dogs
in Mexican food. This this barbecue,

274
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:26.200
I here's no joke. So coming
back to Tucson, guys, I think

275
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:27.920
I'm staying out here in Casey.
Good. So there you go. So

276
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:32.319
you so you've been there a few
days, You've you've been you hung a

277
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:36.400
little bit with Beijean Robinson. Obviously
the interest here is that what happens to

278
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:38.279
be Jean? So first of all, you know, just you know,

279
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:41.839
and you look. I loved your
column that you did on him the other

280
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.160
day. But just tell us a
little bit about your relationship with him and

281
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:52.000
just how you know your thoughts on
him and the guy he's become Bijan man.

282
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.440
He's he's stayed the same. Um. You know, when I had

283
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:59.319
a chance to, you know,
talk to him at Raising Keynes in Kansas

284
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.720
City. We know he's doing a
promotional event. You know, it was

285
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:06.400
almost like I was still talking to
that that fourteen year old that I met

286
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:11.359
at South Point Catholic and you know, Bijean. I first got word of

287
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:15.839
Beijean after this freshman year at South
Point and I just kept hearing about you

288
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.759
know, this guy's got the ID
factor. And then sure enough him and

289
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:25.279
I got to know know each other. And he wasn't really active on social

290
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:29.160
media in the early part of his
recruitment, and when you know, he

291
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:33.039
started to get all of these college
offers, you know, I kind of

292
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:36.920
turned into like the Bijean reporter um. You know I was, you know,

293
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:40.640
I was standing right next to him
when he got offered by Alabama.

294
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:44.519
You know, we were about to
get lunch at EGS, and just minutes

295
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:48.079
before we're getting lunch at EGS,
Jeff Banks from Alabama calls and gives him

296
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.880
an offer. And you know,
he had offered from USC and all these

297
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.720
great programs. Obviously Texas was the
one that he wanted to go to.

298
00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:02.240
And every one thing I've noticed about
a Beijean and his career up to this

299
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:07.079
point is that every decision that he
has made has been calculated, and he's

300
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.119
got such a great support system,
a great foundation with his family. I

301
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.960
mean, his grandparents are just amazing. Cleo and Jerry Robinson are just two

302
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.920
world class people. And then also
his parents Lamore and Lamont's falls. I

303
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.119
mean, they've done such a great
job of raising these young men. And

304
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:27.880
his aunt Clarissa Robinson, who is
Cleo's daughter, she's done such a great

305
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:30.920
job of managing him. And that's
the thing about Beijan is that, yeah,

306
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.640
he signed with Clutch Sports, and
you know, he's gotten help from

307
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:37.400
a lot of other people, but
when you look at the foundation and where

308
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.359
he's at right now, it's all
his inner circle, it's all his family,

309
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.240
and honestly, that's the way it
should be. And even with all

310
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.160
of the success with Nil, with
on the field success you know, about

311
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:51.799
to get ready for the draft,
Jon Robinson has always been one of the

312
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:56.759
most humble human beings I've ever met. And when you talk to people about

313
00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.880
Beijon, they mentioned, you know, briefly, his football prowess, but

314
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:04.640
they also talk about how great of
a human being he is, and that's

315
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:08.119
why I said, you know,
people kind of view him as a Hall

316
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:11.519
of fame type of player, but
I see him more as a as a

317
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.240
gold jacket human being. He's he's
one of a kind and I can't wait

318
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.240
to see his career. Yeah,
isn't that the special thing? It takes

319
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.440
a village. Obviously he has it
with his family. But if you're a

320
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:25.200
pain in the neck and you have
a good family, it doesn't mean anything.

321
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:29.440
But him being a great kid or
a great young man that makes it

322
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:33.519
just even more that, you know, make it more successful. Yes,

323
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.880
And he's very grounded in his faith, and he loves two sons. And

324
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.759
you know, we've seen a lot
of you know people, they try to

325
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:44.599
get out of Tucson as quickly as
possible, and then when they get out

326
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:47.920
of Tucson, they never look back. The thing about Bijan is that he's

327
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.839
always found a way to come back
and impact his community, whether it's to

328
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:53.640
help out of camps, whether it's
to help out of practices. It was

329
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:57.799
the last couple of years of his
life had just been so crazy. You

330
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:00.880
know, it's really tough for him
to you know, stick around a Tucson

331
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.480
for a while, Like leading up
to the NFL Draft. He came back

332
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.880
to Tucson to film part of his
documentary on Overtime and he was only here

333
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:15.240
for like not even a day.
But Bijean loves Tucson. He represents us

334
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.240
everywhere that he goes, and it's
just amazing to know that. You know,

335
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:21.640
you know, kids can look at
that. You know, people will

336
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:25.799
always say that two songs a trap, and it's so hard to be successful

337
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:29.759
at whatever it is that you do
coming out of Tucson, and you know,

338
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:33.599
Bijean is a classic example of you
can be born or raised in the

339
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.680
five to be in the old Publow
and you can make it out. And

340
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:42.839
I don't know where he's gonna go
and the NFL Draft, I'm hoping selfishly

341
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:45.720
he falls somehow to twenty one so
my Chargers can pick him up. But

342
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:51.920
I think that, uh, I
think he's gonna be somewhere either at number

343
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:56.119
ten to Philadelphia or somewhere in the
teams. I don't imagine Bijean falling past

344
00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.559
twenty. So you know, you
got to see him at that, at

345
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.079
that promo and stuff. You know, is he is he nervous? Is

346
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.720
he having fun? A little of
both? Uh, He's been on a

347
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:10.839
lot of you know a lot of
talk shows and podcasts. I saw him

348
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:15.160
on Dan Patrick. Uh yeah,
what's his what's his kind of not not

349
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.559
his mood, but just how you
know, how's how's he handling all this.

350
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.079
He's having the time of his life
right now. He's having such a

351
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:27.519
ball and I think it's because with
his family and you know, signing the

352
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:33.359
Clutch Sports, which is obviously founded
by Rich Paul, who is the agent

353
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:38.039
of Lebron James and you know Clutch
Sports and his family, they've kind of

354
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:44.519
taken all the pressure off of of
this the media circus that comes with the

355
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:48.839
NFL Draft and all the pressure.
Um. Yeah, He's going to these

356
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:53.000
different you know, promotional events with
Old Spice, with Verizon, with raising

357
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:59.000
canes, like he's doing all of
the pr stuff that professional athletes normally do.

358
00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:03.200
Um, but he's just having fun
while doing it. His aunt,

359
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:06.519
Clarissa has done such a great job
of managing him and is you know,

360
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:10.960
quarterbacking all of the different events and
is you know, really attached to him

361
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.359
and is directing him in the right
direction, and you know he was It

362
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:17.359
was kind of funny. Um,
you know, I was talking with Beijean

363
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:21.559
after his little raising Canes events and
UM, and Bijean looked at me.

364
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:22.759
He was like, hey, by
the way, did you want to do

365
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:25.000
like a like an interview or something
like off to the side, like Bijean

366
00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:29.359
was the one who wanted to do
the interview. UM, and then Clarissa

367
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:32.160
kind of looked at both of us
and kind of gave us that that that

368
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:36.119
the evil eyes like we gotta go, we gotta take this show on the

369
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:37.599
row. We got, we gotta
get out of here. And so Jean

370
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:40.720
and I we hugged and said,
all right, man, I'll see at

371
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:44.519
the draft. Good luck, and
uh yeah, she's she's Clarissa. I

372
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:51.119
think she's just an amazing job of
shielding off all the drama that goes into

373
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.359
the NFL Draft. So justin I'm
hoping that he goes to San Diego because

374
00:24:53.359 --> 00:25:02.279
I'm tired of those crying memes of
your just enough Los Angeles. These Los

375
00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:08.240
Angeles not much. I can always
will always be San Diego. So so

376
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.480
are you are you talking to some
people out there who are you'll give you

377
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.440
an idea of you know, where
where Beijean might go. You know,

378
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:18.960
this is the fun part of it, right of covering this stuff that everybody

379
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:25.279
gets to speculate and make guesses and
whatever. So what's the uh, you

380
00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:29.519
know, what's the buzz out there
about him? So I'm gonna put on

381
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:33.759
my tinfoil hat on here for a
second. Okay, Um, I got

382
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:36.920
my tinfoil hat on, and I'm
starting to think, I know a lot

383
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:41.119
of mocks drafts have him going number
ten to Philadelphia. And I looked at

384
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:48.400
his his mother, mother's wearing a
kelly green dress. Okay, so you'd

385
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.359
like to think maybe she knows something, maybe the family knows something, and

386
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:57.160
maybe Beijean goes number ten to the
Philadelphia Eagles. That seems to be kind

387
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.599
of the buzz right now out here
in Kansas City is Bijean going number ten?

388
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:03.960
But man, you know a running
back at number ten, and you

389
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.799
think about all the holes that Philadelphia
has on their defense after their running the

390
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.400
Super Bowl because a lot of guys
were free agents, a lot of guys

391
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:14.440
left on the defensive side of the
ball. So you know, you would

392
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:18.319
think, you know, you know, a safe pick would be all right,

393
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:21.599
let's go after a Christian Gazalas from
Oregon, or let's go after a

394
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:26.240
defensive player. But you think about
this man, you put Bijeon with that

395
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:29.920
offense. I mean, they lost
Miles Sanders, so you put Bijean paired

396
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.920
up with Jalen Hurts, you got
a j Brown at wide receiver, you

397
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.640
have a great offensive line. Eagles
have one of the best offensive lines in

398
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:42.759
football right now, and Bijean doesn't
really have to do everything in that offense.

399
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:47.119
And he's going to be the perfect
weapon for them because he can pass

400
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:48.480
catch, he's a great runner,
he can get out of the space,

401
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:53.440
and you put him and drop him
right into that offense. Philadelphia is going

402
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.720
to be so fun to watch next
year. I mean they already had one

403
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.759
of the highest powered offenses in football. Imagine when what they can do with

404
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:03.480
a guy like Bijean. So I
think Jean is a perfect fit for the

405
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:08.200
Philadelphia Eagles. Um. I've also
heard that the Detroit Lions, I believe

406
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:14.480
they have the eighteenth overall pick um
they're looking at possibly getting Jean Um.

407
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.480
But you know, running backs are
so weird. You know it's a position

408
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:21.039
that you know, hey, it's
five years ago. If Beijean was coming

409
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:23.240
out of the NFL Draft or eight
years ago, Bijean will be a surefire

410
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:27.599
top five pick, but running backs
have have changed in the NFL draft,

411
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:32.240
and you know it, Bijean's in
a weird spot because he can go from

412
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:34.720
number ten to Philadelphia, or he
can you know, fall all the way

413
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:37.759
to number twenty seven to Buffalo.
I don't think that's the case. I

414
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:44.839
just I really have a hard time
believing that a lot of teams in this

415
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:48.319
draft are gonna let Bijean fall past
twenty. I just I just don't see

416
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:51.519
it right now. Or he can
go to thirty to Philadelphia. It's just

417
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:55.200
you never know. Like you said, let me talk about are you real

418
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:56.759
quick justin you've been able to do
some stuff. You're a young man.

419
00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:02.599
You were both your your US your
us just many years later. Um,

420
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:07.559
the experiences that you're getting this is
one of them. Uh, you must

421
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.359
be very happy that you're being able
to do this stuff, no doubt.

422
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:17.920
You know. I grew up watching
the NFL Draft, And one thing about

423
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:22.000
my going back to my relationship will
be Jean is when when we first really

424
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:26.960
starting started to you know, become
personal with each other and started to build

425
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:30.240
a relationship. I always told Bijean, I'm like you know what, man,

426
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.240
you are so talented, You're gonna
go on to big things. I'm

427
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:38.000
gonna be there when you're when you
get drafted. And we've we've manifested this,

428
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.880
you know. I told him,
like, I'm gonna be there when

429
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.519
you get drafted. I don't know
who who's gonna draft you, but I'm

430
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.960
gonna be there regardless. And a
few years later, I'm out here in

431
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:53.039
Kansas City covering Bijean Robinson going to
the NFL um But you know, for

432
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:56.200
me personally, you know, like
I said, I grew up watching the

433
00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:00.759
NFL Draft, and I love the
the NFL. You know, it's uh

434
00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:03.960
something that's very near and dear to
my heart, as you guys know,

435
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:08.000
and to me, this is such
a great experience, you know, And

436
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:11.000
this is my first NFL draft,
so I got to enjoy it while I

437
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:14.359
can, you know. I mean, I'm in a place where it has

438
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:17.839
great bar barbecue and the NFL Draft. Like I said earlier, guys,

439
00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:19.359
i don't know if I'm gonna come
back to Tucson. I'm in heaven right

440
00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:23.279
now. But this is this is
a dream come true, honestly, and

441
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:26.640
I hope that it's one of many. Just bringing some of that sauce back

442
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.920
and you will create serious man,
Just bring some of the sauce back.

443
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.599
Seriously. So you know, well, tell us a little bit about the

444
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.759
spectacle that that it's become, you
know, because you know when we you

445
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:38.720
know, we were you know,
coming up with it, it was that

446
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:41.799
you know, it was in New
York. It was in a hotel,

447
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:45.079
uh, you know, exhibition hall, or it was at uh at the

448
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:48.799
you know, the theater and stuff
like. And now it's been moved on

449
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:51.880
and it's basically a festival. H
It's an outdoor thing. It's like a

450
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:55.880
big giant carnival. Describe some of
the the picture of it right now.

451
00:29:55.920 --> 00:30:00.160
For us, it is a circus
right now. I got here four hours

452
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:07.200
before draft start and it was nuts
then, and I'm inside the media center

453
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.720
right now. They have this you
know kind of uh set up for us

454
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:14.759
to watch the TVs and monitor the
draft and all that. So I'm not

455
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:19.960
actually at the main stage right now. But it's a madhouse. And plus

456
00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:23.640
it's in a football city, you
know, Kansas City. These guys freaking

457
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:26.480
love their Chiefs. I don't know, It's it's easy to root for the

458
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.200
Chiefs. Right now because they're winning
and you know, getting Super Bowls.

459
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:34.480
But everywhere I go someone's got a
Kansas City jersey shirt, hat whatever.

460
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:38.759
I haven't seen a single Royals shirts
or hat as i've been here, but

461
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:41.079
man, these the city loves or
chiefs, I'll tell you that. And

462
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:45.119
it's it's an absolutely madhouse right now. You've got people coming in from all

463
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:49.680
different parts of the country and it's
it's a circus. And you know,

464
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:55.799
like you guys said, it all
started in a hotel and then it went

465
00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:59.200
to the radio city and music hall, and you know, once upon a

466
00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:02.359
time there was a guy questioning,
you know, who the hell was mel

467
00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:07.400
Kiper I think it was the GM
for the Indianapolis Cold And decades later,

468
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:10.960
mel Kiper Jr. Is you know, the biggest voice when it comes to

469
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:15.359
the NFL Draft. And the scene
has just evolved from you know, a

470
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:21.079
little hotel ballroom to now a full
fledged stage with it's it's pretty much like

471
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:23.880
a stadium and it's a traveling circus. Last year it was in Las Vegas,

472
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:27.839
this year is in Kansas City,
and it's really become just a giant

473
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:32.440
monster and it's it's pretty cool.
Yeah, But Will you go out into

474
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:34.240
like the audience or whatever and just
check it out to see, you know,

475
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:37.440
to see the stage and you know, see a couple of draft picks

476
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:41.480
or anything like that. Yeah,
I'll probably go out there and see the

477
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:48.519
first pick. Um. It's the
media center and the actual main stage is

478
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:52.799
kind of like like a five to
ten minute walk, and so I'll be

479
00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:56.920
sure to check out the you know, the first couple of picks. But

480
00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:00.400
then once we get into you know, be Jean Robinson range kind of have

481
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:05.279
to be available to post my story
for the airs on Daily Star and Tucson

482
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:07.720
dot Com. But no, the
scenes out here, the scene how here

483
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.680
is great. I mean a lot
of fans from all over. I mean

484
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:14.799
I've seen a lot of Raider fans
just stepped out, you know, with

485
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:19.000
their faces painted silver and black and
they have the whole costume on. And

486
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:22.920
these these fans many they're they're showing
out. It's pretty cool. They are

487
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:25.759
always those raiders and kooky crazy.
I just hope they don't kill somebody tonight.

488
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:34.000
See Jay's always thinking of the negatives. I watch it, don't listen

489
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:37.160
to Jay. I watched a lot
of Dayline j Justin and that that's just

490
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:39.519

498
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:07.240

Don, I'd really want to be
a Raiders fan because there, you know,

582
00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:00.079
you would give me a reason to
go to Vegas more than once or

583
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:04.559
twice a year. So I'm trying, Okay, I'm trying. I'll try

584
00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:08.000
and stop saying bad things about Raider
fans. You don't have to be a

585
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:12.159
Raiders fan, but if you keep
saying bad things, people are gonna know

586
00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:15.199
who you are. So so,
John, that's how he tries. Look

587
00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:19.320
if he didn't try, at least, I'm talking about him, right,

588
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:23.679
Hey, who are they gonna take
or who do you hope they take?

589
00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:31.800
I hope they take me, John
Robinson. No, No, we have

591
00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:39.599
lot of there's a lot of chatter
about us trying to pick up a quarterback

592
00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:44.199
I think, but the quarterback I
don't think C J. Strout is gonna

593
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:49.599
be there when we get to pick
Bryce Young is too small. I mean

594
00:39:49.639 --> 00:39:53.400
he's he's really good, but he's
just he's too small to play NFL.

595
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:58.960
It's like you're you're rolling the dice, just like the Cardinals have have been.

596
00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:05.719
Or we'll continue to be right right, all right, Hey, man,

597
00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:07.760
appreciate it. I'll I'll try and
ease up. I'll try and ease

598
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:16.719
up on your boys. Keep the
raider's name out of your mind, all

599
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:22.000
right. I thought he left his
keys here or something. Yeah, yeah,

600
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:27.239
no kidding, all right, So
I'm starting to get some photos and

601
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:30.960
videos and things like that. Bijon
was sort of a I thought it was

602
00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:35.039
black, but it's more like a
charcoal gray, shiny double breasted suit that

603
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:37.320
he's wearing looks really good. The
black turtleneck, although I don't know he

604
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:40.440
got that turtleneck over his neck.
It just I mean, he looked like

605
00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:45.519
he just got this. He's got
this big giant block of concrete, didn't

606
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:50.679
You'll always remember as a as an
adult, is this day? This day?

607
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:52.079
Oh? Yeah, this day?
Yeah? You know, it's kind

608
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:57.599
of it's kind of funny. Um
uh. You know the movie Draft Day,

609
00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:00.360
really good movie. Have you ever
seen it? Ye? Love the

610
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:02.559
one line in there that I love
that Kevin Costner said that a bunch of

611
00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:07.760
things you only get drafted once.
Enjoy the day, you know, enjoy

612
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:12.559
the day, right because after who
had Remember John Pena He remember John?

613
00:41:12.679 --> 00:41:15.199
He talked about he didn't have his
family, that they were in Spain,

614
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:17.519
so he made the call. But
you have your here. He has his

615
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:22.159
people that are right obviously, and
you get to celebrate with everybody. Yeah,

616
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:27.280
and because the day starting tomorrow.
Man, it's real life. It's

617
00:41:27.360 --> 00:41:30.239
it's life. You're you know,
you're you've got you've got a job with

618
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:34.320
a company basically, and and you're
you know, a very important job.

619
00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:37.079
Businessman. It becomes a business really
fast. Yeah, yeah, no,

620
00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:43.639
it's no doubt, but that you
really do hope that And that's why I

621
00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:45.920
kind of asked the question, you
know, are people are you know,

622
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:50.559
are they nervous? You know who's
more nervous? You want, like you

623
00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:52.400
think of the Aaron Rodgers experience,
right, we just started dropping in.

624
00:41:53.239 --> 00:41:58.000
He probably thinks remember his draft day
has been a horrible day for him in

625
00:41:58.119 --> 00:42:00.679
terrible kay for him. Right,
you got to the packers really well.

626
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:02.360
But sure you know, if you
if you think you're gonna get drafted hind

627
00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:07.400
then you don't what what becomes the
memory of the draft? Yeah? No,

628
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:13.320
everybody has a different memory, right, Um, I remember Becky ninety's

629
00:42:13.320 --> 00:42:16.920
sat baby went went and then Michael
Dickerson and Miles was waiting, yeah wait

630
00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:21.360
waiting and waiting and went in the
second round. Yeah, everybody has a

631
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:23.400
different memory. Yeah, yeah,
no doubt, no doubt. So you

632
00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:25.360
know, I hope it's a hope
it's a good time for all of these

633
00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:29.239
guys and currently be jown again.
You want to go. You want a

634
00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:31.400
guy who's been a good guy,
a good soldier, good kid, to

635
00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:35.559
end up in a good place.
You know, you hope somebody like you

636
00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:39.800
know, the Commanders don't take him, or you don't said, I'm not

637
00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:43.679
gonna say the Raiders. You know, I think I bet you'd love to

638
00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:46.039
be with the Raiders. You'll be
just a few hours from home or the

639
00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:50.920
or the Chargers or the Rams.
You know, you know one of those

640
00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:52.679
places, you know where you know
where's close to home. You know,

641
00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:55.840
if he's a Philingelphia man, that's
a long way Phoenix. Who who they

642
00:42:55.960 --> 00:42:59.000
was running back? I don't even
know. That's why I care about that.

643
00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:02.239
Jody Ailer out there is out there
is out there campaigning for the for

644
00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:08.480
the for the UH, the Cardinals
to trade down, but only far enough

645
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:13.679
where they can still get Bijan.
You know, yeah, but I don't

646
00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:17.519
know, you know, I don't
know what um. I'm a listener Bill

647
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:21.519
over here saying he does hope the
Commanders taken because they need him. Bill,

648
00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:24.760
the Commanders need everything, So Bijean
is only a little bit of what

649
00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:29.480
you guys need a new start though, they get a new owners Yeah help,

650
00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:31.400
Yeah, that should help. Yeah, just just get clean in house

651
00:43:31.400 --> 00:43:36.119
and then you can start taking players
and ruining their careers. So anyways,

652
00:43:36.199 --> 00:43:38.920
but uh, this should be fun. Uh if he if he gets taken

653
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:43.840
about let's say, if he eight
is about the earliest people are saying he'll

654
00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:46.159
go. He's probably you know,
he'll be in the second hour of the

655
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:50.400
draft before he gets taken, So
that gives gives you a night time to

656
00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:52.199
get home and uh, you know, pick up the draft and see where

657
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:55.079
he goes. How crazy would it
be though, if you went to the

658
00:43:55.119 --> 00:44:00.000
Eagles. Typically when you get drafted
in the first round and you're the best

659
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:02.840
to your position, you typically go
to a team that is very good.

660
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:08.199
Right, Eagles might be the NFC
favorite, right that playing in the super

661
00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:13.920
Bowl, arguably in his first year
out totally, and I think Jason Jason

662
00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:16.440
said the best. They don't need
to overwork him, right, kids didn't

663
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:19.559
have to do every since he'd be
a piece in the big piece. Right.

664
00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:21.960
But yeah, I mean, how
ya, how fortunate would it be

665
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:27.480
if you're drafted tenth, so drafted
high, but then you go to one

666
00:44:27.519 --> 00:44:30.400
of the two or three best teams
in the league. Double bonus right there.

667
00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:35.000
For sure, that would be perfect
for him. A lot of Valley

668
00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:37.639
kids now because you have Rock Party
over in the forty nine ers from Gilbert

669
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:42.760
and then now having Bijean Star,
we might see some more, some more

670
00:44:42.840 --> 00:44:46.280
kids show many year. How old
are you twenty one and he's nineteen,

671
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:50.880
right, I think. So there's
the quarterback situation out of Phoenix just kind

672
00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:53.119
of Comecca a little a little Mecca
because they're all over the place. None

673
00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:58.239
of them are going to Nope.
But there's another thing. You know,

674
00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:00.800
you're already growing up there. You
kind of have this ambition of going somewhere

675
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:05.599
else, you know what I'm saying. And there's so many who was the

676
00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:09.639
kid that went to Dikloma didn't transferred
And there's more than that, right,

677
00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:15.239
So you know we'll see some teams
are already looking for next year. They're

678
00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:19.159
already looking at Williams. So teams
like the Texans that are looking to get

679
00:45:19.159 --> 00:45:22.320
a defensive player think next year they're
better off taking one of those Drake may

680
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:27.039
or Williams. Yeah, Caleb Williams. Yeah, now that well and that

681
00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:30.719
and that's kind of what what uh
uh? Pat Finley told us that that

682
00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:35.320
the Bears they treat you know,
they're gonna have a high pick next year.

683
00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:37.920
There's you know, there's even some
people saying that the Texans shouldn't take

684
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:42.760
one of the quarterbacks because if they, you know, can get a decent

685
00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:45.920
draft pick next year, they can
get a better quarterback next year, then

686
00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:47.559
they're going to get this year with
the number two pick. And there's probably

687
00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:51.639
so strange that you want to count
not take that you're gonna give up a

688
00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:54.199
season for next season, but you
know, something they might do that.

689
00:45:54.840 --> 00:46:00.639
It's also funny to see there's a
video of how the Texans the last game

690
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:07.559
of the season ended with them winning
in over time. I believe to one

691
00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:16.079
this is a where did we got
another call? Hire on there and I

692
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:20.519
in the ball. Hey, good
afternoon, guys, Tommy Lane, how

693
00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:24.159
are you doing good? What's up? Hey? So, since you know

694
00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:29.360
we have to do this the NFL
Draft, and you guys have at least

695
00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:35.679
a couple of months you know,
combined of journalism, why do you think

696
00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:40.039
the media work going into the Super
Bowl last year, the media just kind

697
00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:46.480
of all together got together in a
wave and decided that Jalen Hurts was going

698
00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:50.960
to win the Super Bowl. I
mean, my question is, I'm not

699
00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:52.760
I don't have it. I didn't
have a dog in the fight. But

700
00:46:53.679 --> 00:47:00.239
the media did. They not.
The vast majority said that the Eagles would

701
00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:05.519
win because and I'm sorry, I
just go back to, well, how

702
00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:09.920
about experience in the Super Bowl?
Right right now? Well, I think

703
00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:14.199
they were all the odds on a
favorite, won't they fit? Yeh?

704
00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:16.519
And Kansas City had been kind of
up and down, an inconsistent, and

705
00:47:16.519 --> 00:47:21.199
Philly kind of just steady. Yeah. Remember Ken say had a stretch in

706
00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:22.840
the middle of the year where they
just lost some games that they just were

707
00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:25.760
puzzling. But you know, you're
right, you know, when it came

708
00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:30.800
down to it, they were you
know, they were the chiefs. They

709
00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:32.679
were the chiefs that we all all
know. And let's let's fix facts.

710
00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:37.119
They were a player away from winning
it. Remember that the late drive,

711
00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:43.039
late drive that didn't Cincinnati. Yeah, the year before the late driving the

712
00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:45.840
game, Yeah, it was that
player guess a bad call that they think

713
00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:49.360
it was a bad call. You
never you never know. But next year

714
00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:52.599
I think this is Tommy, isn't
it this Tommy? Yeah? Yeah,

715
00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:54.360
yeah, Tommy that I think next
year, How could you not think that

716
00:47:54.360 --> 00:47:59.199
they're gonna win it or be or
be there again? Right? Oh yeah,

717
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:01.960
absolutely absolutely. I mean, you
know, like, like I said,

718
00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:05.320
neither team was neither. I didn't
have a dog in the fight.

719
00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:07.800
We went to the game, but
my bets were also on the tief,

720
00:48:07.920 --> 00:48:10.519
So I guess that makes it feel
a little more pumps, like, oh

721
00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:13.599
yeah, I had it figured out. I mean, right, you had

722
00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:16.679
a dog in the fight. Hey, can I throw one more thing in?

723
00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:21.679
You know, I come from the
Midwest, you know, and people

724
00:48:21.719 --> 00:48:27.719
in Arizona are really staunch about if
you live in Arizona you have to follow

725
00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:30.079
the Arizona teams. Well, I
gotta tell you, I get a lot

726
00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:37.679
of joy about watching and watching the
Warriors every year and watching the sun collapsed.

727
00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:42.320
And I think we're on the doorstep
of that again. Yeah, yeah,

728
00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:45.039
no doubt. Well. Well,
and you know, you spent some

729
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:49.159
time in Tucsons, so there's just
not a lot of love for the Phoenix

730
00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:52.760
Suns here anymore than there's for the
Cardinals as well. Fans in Tucson are

731
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:58.719
fans of whoever their parents loved or
whatever. So yeah, no, I

732
00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:01.239
hear you, hey, and real
quick, you guys, remember you remember

733
00:49:01.239 --> 00:49:07.360
when, you know, when we
first had a team in the Diamondbacks about

734
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:09.599
what we call bank On Ballpark.
We all got into that, right,

735
00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:13.079
we get a team, we're in
the playoffs. Three years later and what

736
00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:15.920
was it four or five years we
had bought and won a Super Bowl,

737
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:21.400
I mean our world, which was
great. Well, you got the Cardinals

738
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:23.159
put in your lap. There were
not a ya, They're not a homegrown

739
00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:25.639
team like the Diamondbacks. And then
the Diamondbacks came here, they did the

740
00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:28.920
spring training here, did all the
right things early, and then they threw

741
00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:30.840
us the finger and left, and
you know, so yeah, I just

742
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:34.719
don't think you see a lot of
Diamondbacks fans down here. There's some leftover,

743
00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:37.079
but not a ton. Hey,
Tommy, thanks a whole bunch,

744
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:38.880
man. We do appreciate it.
Thanks for the call. Thank you,

745
00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:42.360
guys. I always loved the show
and the gap, Thank you, thank

746
00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:45.079
you very much. We got about
two and a half. We just came

747
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:50.159
across a little bit ago. Arizona
Beach Volleyball Advances again. They beat Asuda

748
00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:54.840
Okay, we also have moving one
point one point yeah, so we'll have

749
00:49:54.880 --> 00:50:00.199
those guests back, those coaches back. Um, so we'll see what EPs

750
00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:02.360
in the future of the next shows. Tomorrow, We're gonna have Jake Fisher

751
00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:06.639
obviously a Friday guy, and then
we'll figure out on you, yeah,

752
00:50:06.679 --> 00:50:09.519
on you guests in the internet.
I'm you know, I'm you know,

753
00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:15.280
I pay attention to the draft.
I rarely sit down and watch the draft.

754
00:50:15.400 --> 00:50:17.280
I think I'm actually gonna do that. Partly my wife's and at home.

755
00:50:17.320 --> 00:50:22.039
Still is you got another another day
to go solo? You know it's

756
00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:24.039
so long. It's so long to
me, Well, and you know I

757
00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:28.760
do. I Here's what I do, is I see the draft pick.

758
00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:31.559
I don't need to hear the you
know, the analysis and stuff like that.

759
00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:35.239
I'll flip channels and then I'll come
back for the next draft pick and

760
00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:37.960
the next is it how many minutes
between ten minutes? Ten minutes? Because

761
00:50:38.440 --> 00:50:42.440
for the first round, to get
ten minutes between picks, That's what I'm

762
00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:45.000
saying. If you if you're in
the if you're you know, the number

763
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:47.360
eight pick, you know you're gonna
get drafted in the second hour basically,

764
00:50:47.400 --> 00:50:52.079
So um, so you know,
you you don't have to start watching it.

765
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:54.280
Probably don't have to start watching it
for b John Robinson until about six

766
00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:58.480
o'clock, which, like I said, gives me plenty of time to at

767
00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:00.320
home, get something to eat,
cook a little, and then sit on

768
00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:02.440
and watch the draft. So I'm
looking forward to that. It'll be a

769
00:51:02.440 --> 00:51:07.079
lot of fun. Okay, well, guys, we had about a minute

770
00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:09.000
and a half. Thanks everybody for
calling. Yeah, so the kids didn't

771
00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:12.159
push up the buttons. Man,
