Get some facts and come back and
seebe. Get some facts and come back

2
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:21.320
and seebe. Don't fill out salaries
or other things. Get some facts and

3
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:25.679
come back and Seebee. You can't
handle the true now told our players you

4
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.440
need a bit more like a dog. We don't need a bunch of cats

5
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:32.079
in here. Looking in the mirror, I look good. I got my

6
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.960
extra bands on, I got my
other shoes. Be a doll. We

7
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.600
don't need no mouns. We don't
need no cats. We need more dogs.

8
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.000
W a detain. Oh you're not
a deday. We weren't good.

9
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.439
There's no sense of asking me things
about the game. I'm telling you.

10
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:49.759
We laid an egg. So I'm
not gonna break it down for you.

11
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:54.840
He sucks. He sucked. He
laid an egg. That's all I have

12
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.000
to say. Guys, I'm sorry. I'm not going to break it down

13
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.920
for you. Nothing went well for
us. It's on us. We have

14
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.079
to figure it out. And we
went eight yodad, Yes it is.

15
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:08.400
It is showtime, the final hour
of X's and Ros on this Tuesday again,

16
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:14.480
our thanks to Day Riquette of the
Detroit Free Press, Fucking Lions draft

17
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:19.200
the NFL in general, he joined
us at seven thirty five. Really good

18
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:25.920
stuff. Welcome back. I'm Matt
Shepherd, that is our producer. If

19
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.200
you want to give us a phone
call on the Meyer hotline eighty six six

sixty six eight three eight forty eight forty

21
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:40.159
three, and you could text us
text the program at sports Radio to twenty

22
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.760
one thousand, and then you can
jump into the conversation. Wherever it is.

23
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.519
You may be listening in Flint and
Cadillac and Grand Rapids and Grayling and

24
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:52.280
Gaylord. You could be in Potoski, Charlevoid, Traverse City, Midland,

25
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.840
Saginaw, Bay City. Wherever it
is you are, We're glad you're with

26
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.000
us here on a Tuesday morning.
If you missed what took place over the

27
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:05.120
Tigers and Cardinals will play a double
dip today because ring got in the way

28
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.960
yesterday. Florida blow out Tampas six
one. Dallas over Vegas four to two.

29
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:15.840
Florida moves on. The Stars and
Knights are deadlocked at two wins a

30
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.840
piece. Boston beat Miami. They're
up three games to one. Denver over

31
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:29.360
the Lakers. The Lakers are done. OKC brooms New Orleans second sweep of

32
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:35.800
the NBA playoffs. The other was
Minnesota over Phoenix, and then you saw

33
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:42.360
what happened with Phoenix right another disappointing
season for them. Kevin Durant upset.

34
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:49.719
Here's a report. Sources briefed on
the matter told The Athletic that Durant never

35
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.759
felt comfortable with his role in Phoenix's
offense alongside Booker and Beale this year.

36
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.039
Those sources said Durant had persistent issues
with the offense, feeling that he was

37
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:07.680
being relegated to the corner far too
often and not having the proper designs to

38
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:14.840
play his strengths as an offense built
around pick and rolls. Here's my question,

39
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:20.080
why does it take this long for
something like this to come out?

40
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.840
The reason these things come out,
folks, is because certain people want them

41
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:30.520
out. In this case, it
might be the player, or it might

42
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:35.000
be the organization trying to distance themselves
from the player. But either way,

43
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:39.719
somebody makes it known that the reason
that they were swept, the reason they

44
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:46.960
had another disappointing season. Kevin Durant
is not happy. Here we go again.

45
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:53.039
It's always something, isn't it refreshing? Once in a while when you

46
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.840
finally hear an athlete or an organization
say, hey, man, it's on

47
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:03.479
me like a hero. Vetchkin,
the Washington Capitol Star, was really good.

48
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:08.240
He was terrible in the playoffs,
but he was really good afterwards.

49
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.439
He didn't have a point in the
playoffs. And when people said what happened

50
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:18.079
against the Rangers, what did he
say? I wasn't good enough. I've

51
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:25.519
got to be better, instead of
pointing fingers, instead of making the excuses,

52
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:30.839
you don't want to hear it.
One of the best lines I ever

53
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.480
heard from one of the bosses I
worked for. He said, own your

54
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:45.600
own blank. Reminds what kind of
sounds like pitts. Own your own blank.

55
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:56.639
Don't make excuses. It's on you. Kevin Durant, it's on him.

56
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:05.319
Hey, think of this before something
like that gets out. He did

57
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:12.360
take the most corner threes in his
career. He took sixty eight of them.

58
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:18.480
Does that seem like a lot to
you? Before this year he averaged

59
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:25.240
about twenty three. Remember he is
older, he does have different weapons around

60
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:31.600
him. You do have to play
to more than one player's strength. Would

61
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:38.199
you suggest that he's the best player
on their team. I wouldn't. I

62
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:45.160
think it's Devin Booker. Kevin Durant's
a Hall of Fame player, but just

63
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:49.360
because he's a Hall of Fame player
doesn't mean he's right at everything. I

64
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:55.160
think Phoenix he really got hurt on
the Grayson Allen injury. But it just

65
00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:01.160
gets so old when you hear stuff
like this disgruntled blame game, same stuff.

66
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:12.279
It's crazy. It really is our
phone number on the Meyer hotline eight

67
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.879
sixty six eight three, eight forty
eight forty three. You could text us

68
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.879
at sports Radio to twenty one thousand
the worst and best grade, just coming

69
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.800
off of what we were talking about
with Dave brikettit the Free Press who joined

70
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.519
us here on Ex's and Bros.
A little bit ago, some of the

71
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.160
best and worst grades. You know, you go through. This is what

72
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.120
football brings you, and it's pretty
cool. You get as soon as the

73
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.360
super Bowl is over, and maybe
even in some cases before the super Bowl

74
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:40.920
is over, you're getting mock draft
after mock draft after mock draft, which

75
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:46.720
look, sports Radio is lives on
that stuff. To me, it gets

76
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.480
a little old. It's constantly changing. You're getting a mock draft, and

77
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:54.000
then you go to the combine and
then you get in another mock draft,

78
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.000
and then you're noticing some signings and
then you're getting another mock draft. I

79
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.480
mean, it's it's constant, but
you got to fill space. Sports radio's

80
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.600
gotta fill time, and people like
it, so it's okay, it's cool.

81
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.319
But right after the draft you get
all the breakdowns. I mean you

82
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:13.680
get breakdowns for every pick, you
get breakdowns for every round, and you

83
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:18.519
get breakdowns for every team great,
giving teams great. It's really hard to

84
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:23.839
do. It's almost it's it's borderline
ridiculous because you don't know what these players

85
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.560
are going to do. You don't
know how good they're going to be.

86
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.160
So, for example, one writer
gave the Falcons a C minus. Why

87
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:36.079
do you think what Dave and I
were just talking about it's Michael Pennix.

88
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:41.879
How do you know? Like they
said that was the worst pick? It

89
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:46.040
was a surprise pick? Was it
the worst pick? What if he turns

90
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:50.800
out to be a Pro Bowl quarterback? A multi I'm not saying he is,

91
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:56.319
I'm just saying what if? How
do you know? You don't So

92
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:58.839
you read this stuff and you're like, Okay, this is what this guy

93
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:03.439
thinks. Great, so on and
so fourth for what it's worth. That's

94
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:11.399
key for what it's worth. CBS
Sports gave the Lions a B. They

95
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:18.680
thought the best pick was Si Vaki. Why because this writer had him,

96
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.120
as you know, before the draft, on his better than team. This

97
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.759
guy's better than his team. He's
better than you think he is. He's

98
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:35.799
better than most people have him projected. So in order to support what I

99
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:41.279
originally thought, I've got to at
least bring that up. You think that

100
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.679
was their best pick, that's when
you should stop reading. You should stop

101
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.519
reading the or I should have stopped
reading the article as soon as this guy

102
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:54.039
wrote. The best pick the Lions
had was their fourth round pick, safety

103
00:08:54.120 --> 00:09:01.799
running back Vaki No. No.
The best pick was Terry on Arnold.

104
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:09.440
He's going to be an immediate starter
and is expected to make a massive impact

105
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:15.720
because of all the things that Daybreak
had just brought up, his strength,

106
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.399
his filling of a need, and
his desire to wear a Hall of Fame

107
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:28.399
gold jacket. Someday. That's the
best pick, not the pick that you

108
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:35.320
originally thought was a guy who was
on your better than team before you started

109
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:46.120
writing the weekend drafts an analysis eight
eight three eight forty forty three. That's

Tigers are entertaining the Saint Louis Cardinals,

118
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.120
and every time these two teams clash, I think in the World Series.

119
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.639
They first clashed in nineteen thirty four, with the Cardinals winning in seven games

120
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.039
despite a three to seventy nine average
from Charlie Garringer during the series. They

121
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.519
would meet again in the famous nineteen
sixty eight Fall Classic, with the Tigers

122
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.559
coming from behind to win it in
seven games Mickey Lulich with an epic series

123
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.879
winning three complete games allowing just five
earned runs. They met again in two

124
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.919
thousand and six, with the Tigers
heavily favorite only to fumble away this series

125
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.600
in five games. The Cards that
season won it all despite winning just eighty

126
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:54.639
three regular season games and being thirteen
games under five hundred on the road.

127

138
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:07.480
We were just talking before the break
about the various draft grades. I

139
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:13.879
don't know how you could give the
Lions anything less than ab Here's the reason

140
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.919
I say that, neither you nor
I. Now I know lot A lot

141
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:24.639
of these people have great experience in
watching a lot of film. I don't

142
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:31.840
know many people who had anything on
Giovanni Manu. He's that mountain of a

143
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:39.720
man from British Columbia. You take
a running back slash safety in the fourth

144
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:45.960
round, one hundred and thirty second
pick overall, Sioni Vaki. This isn't

145
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.240
baseball, man. I mean,
I don't want a guy who's versatile and

146
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.120
it's not alignment. Guy's either a
running back or a safety. My hope

147
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.279
is that he's safety. I don't
think they need a running back. I

148
00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:03.240
do like the Wingo pick from the
inside. I'm not going to have claimed

149
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.879
it to have watched Christian Mahogany.
I haven't. So there's three guys on

150
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:13.440
the draft, three of the six
half the draft I truly know, and

151
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:22.840
I think can be contributors this coming
season. That works for me. So

152
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.720
giving them anything less than to be
would be a little surprising. I think

153
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.080
I think there are certain teams and
said I said this after day one.

154
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.960
This is not me talking armchair quarterback
Day one. I liked what the Pittsburgh

155
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:45.799
Steelers did, Absolutely love it.
Fatano was one of my favorite players.

156
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.159
Zach Frazier one of my favorite players. And yes, I'm not afraid to

157
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.639
admit it. I've said it for
as long as I've done this show.

158
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.200
For two decades. I've said you
build from the inside out in football.

159
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.080
I like Liman. I think they're
so important. Doesn't mean i'd take them

160
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.519
at the top five pick. I'm
just telling you I think they're really really

161
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.679
important, and I think too many
times we just watch where the ball goes.

162
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.840
We just want the skill guys.
Offensive lineman is a skill too.

163
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:18.240
So I love Fatanu, I love
Zach Frasier, love Peyton Wilson. He's

164
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.600
the linebacker at NC State. The
problem there is he gets injured quite a

165
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:28.600
bit. He was a third round
pick after they chose Roman Wilson. I

166
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:33.799
think they hit four home runs.
And if you're afraid of Wilson Peyton Wilson

167
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:39.720
being injured, okay, then call
it a triple. Even if it's a

168
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.600
double. I think you got three
home runs at a double. If you

169
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.840
want to look at it from that
standpoint. That's why I would give them

170
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.200
an a phone numbers eight six six, eight three, eight forty eight forty

171
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.159
three. Let's go to the phone
lines, the Meyer hot Line. Who's

172
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.960
up next, Ben? Yeah,
we got Robin Rockford? Nice, the

173
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.600
Rockford Rams? Hi Rob, How
you doing good? Matt? How you

174
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.120
doing good? Thanks for the call? Good good and joining the show.

175
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:09.799
Yeah, I heard someone complain.
You know, the draft. I've been

176
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.240
well, I'm sixty six years old, so I've been following the draft since

177
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:18.799
the late seventies. And when the
draft first came on nineteen eighty with ESPN,

178
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:22.159
I thought I'd died and gone to
heaven. I couldn't believe my You

179
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.200
know, that was a year they
drafted Billy Simms. But one thing with

180
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:30.320
the draft is you I mean,
it has become so over blown and so

181
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.279
big. It's all it's it's you
know, it's just a life form of

182
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.279
itself. But one thing I did
like with the lines, I don't mind

183
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:43.480
them double dipping at cornerback. You
can't have too many defensive backs. You

184
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:50.080
know, we were in a division
where there's nothing but weapons that were going

185
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.080
up against Green Bay is full of
them. Minnesota, Chicago now is full

186
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:56.879
of them. We got to have
defensive backs. And also it's a position

187
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:02.480
that has a lot of attrition.
A lot of defensive defensive backs and offensive

188
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:06.000
linemen always seemed to get hurt,
so you can't have too many of them.

189
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:10.120
So I agree one hundred percent with
you. I mean, you remember

190
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:14.879
last year in the playoff game against
Dallas, what was everybody complaining about ceed

191
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.679
lamb over two hundred yards receiving?
Right? Yeah, so it was absolutely

192
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.440
a Yeah, it was a position
of need. You're one hundred percent right

193
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.960
about that. I likened it to
pitching in baseball. You can't have enough

194
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:30.919
of it, right, Yeah,
you can't have too much pitching. You

195
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:36.840
can't have too many defensive acts.
Right, Amen, appreciate the phone call.

196
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:41.000
Great stuff. Look, here's the
deal. Do you believe the NFL

197
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:47.120
is a passing league? He said. The first draft he watched was Billy

198
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:52.039
Simms, when the Lions took the
Heisman Trophy winner out of Oklahoma. It's

199
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.480
great stuff. Think about how many
heismand Trophy winners they've had, Billy Simms,

200
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:02.080
Steve Owens also from Oklahoma, right, Andre Ware, Oh god,

201
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.359
Barry Sanders. Then they ended up
having a guy like Ty Detmer. They

202
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:10.279
didn't draft him, but they had
him on their team. They've had a

203
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:15.680
lot of Heisman Trophy winners on their
team. Billy Simms was unbelievable, folks.

204
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:19.640
I promise him, man. I
mean, if it were today and

205
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:23.119
he injured his knee, that way
you could get by it because of today's

206
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:27.119
technology. Back in the early eighties, he didn't couldn't overcome it. He

207
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:33.279
was just an He was so much
fun to watch. It's different than Barry

208
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.160
God. He could catch out of
the backfield. He was big, he

209
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:41.160
was strong, he was fast,
he was awesome. I loved watching Billy

210
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:44.880
Simms. Here's a good little story
for you real quick. A few years

211
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:47.319
back, more than a few years, probably about six years or so,

212
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.400
saw him at Ford Field, had
a chance to visit with him in one

213
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.240
of the offices. Just sit down, talk with him for a long time.

214
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:02.319
You know why he wore number twenty. He's a big baseball fan and

215
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:07.559
he loved lou Brock, and lou
Brock was number twenty. It's an interesting

216
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:14.480
story anyway, Yeah, one hundred
percent regarding the cornerbacks. And the other

217
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:18.240
interesting comment he just made was how
it's how the draft has gotten overblown.

218
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:25.640
It's gotten so big. I think
everything in sports, but especially the NFL,

219
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:30.279
and it's not necessarily a negative thing, has gotten so big, has

220
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:37.000
gotten overblown. It has become it's
not just the games that are big any

221
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.839
longer. It's the discussion. It's
the commentary, it's the film breakdown,

222
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:47.880
it's the play breakdown, it's the
press conferences, it's the off season,

223
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:56.680
it's everything associated with it. And
here's the real kicker. We don't get

224
00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:03.839
tired of it. Think of another
sport. Hell, think of another topic.

225
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.680
Think of something that you just roll
your eyes and say enough is enough.

226
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:15.400
Not in football, you don't.
You don't do that with football.

227
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:19.359
You don't, at least in this
country. We can't get enough of it.

228
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:23.400
I'm not saying the UFL. I
think that's a little different because you

229
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.039
don't recognize as many players. I
mean, maybe you do with Adrian Martinez.

230
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:32.440
I think he plays for Birmingham and
they're off to think they're four and

231
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:36.240
one or they're five and ohther' At
the midway point of the UFL, you

232
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:41.200
might recognize a name or two.
But I'm talking about the NFL. Things

233
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:47.400
that are associated with a National Football
League you can't get enough of and I

234
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:49.759
don't know what the endgame is with
it. That's the weird thing. Like

235
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:52.640
you're gonna go play in Mexico,
You're playing in London, You're playing all

236
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.319
over the place. Are you creating
You might be creating more football fans?

237
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.359
Are you creating more football players?
Do you? You never envisioned a time

238
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:08.160
when the National Football League and whoever
the next commissioner is, stands at the

239
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:15.960
podium in whatever city and says,
with the first pick of the second round,

240
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:22.039
the Detroit Lyons select so and so
out of London. No, folks,

241
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:26.160
I called NFL Europe for three consecutive
years. I went over to Germany

242
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.079
and it was mandated where you had
to have at least a couple of nationals

243
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:36.440
on their team. Those guys are
so far behind, and people just don't

244
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:41.559
gravitate to it over there as much
as obviously we do here. We can't

245
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.359
get enough of sports here. They
can't get enough of their sport over there.

246
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:52.039
I'm not sure how much they want
our sport, but it's great stuff,

247
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:55.039
and that was a really good call. We got some texts and we'll

248
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:57.000
get to that on the other side
when we get ready to wrap things up

249
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.640
here on exis and bros across the
great state of miss to get right after

Sports Radio to twenty one thousand. Then

273
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:18.200
I know somebody has recently texted and
what do you get right? It's about

274
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:23.480
the question from earlier about franchise players. It says, uh, it was

275
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:29.279
meant to be only between Osgood or
Joe Dumars. Oh, I'm sorry,

276
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:33.440
Yeah, who meant the most to
their franchise. Oh okay, I would

277
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:36.839
say Joe Dumars. Chris Osgood was
a third round pick. Not that that's

278
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:38.680
a bad thing. I think he
should be in the Hall of Fame.

279
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:45.599
He's got four hundred and one wins. He's he was a third round pick.

280
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:53.319
Mark think about that draft. Marten
LaPoint was drafted the first round for

281
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:59.279
the Red Wings that year. That
was nineteen ninety one. That was the

282
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:02.640
year Eric Lynn us as number one. That was a really good draft.

283
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:07.000
Scott Niedermeyer was in that draft.
Aaron Ward, Peter Forsburg was in that

284
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:11.000
draft. Not to compare Aaron Ward
with Scott Niedermeyer and Eric lind Russ and

285
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:17.319
Peter Forsburg, but it's just a
name. Brian Ralston was part of it.

286
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:25.240
To Pat Peak was drafted by Washington. But people forget that martenella Point

287
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:30.079
was the first round pick for Detroit. Their second round pick was Jamie Pusher,

288
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:34.640
he was a big defenseman. Then
Chris Osgood and then Mike Knuble out

289
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:41.319
of the University of Michigan was drafted. All those guys played in the NHL

290
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:45.000
and had find careers. I think
Chris Od's good to Hall of Famer,

291
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.599
but he was drafted in the third
round. What did he mean to their

292
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.960
franchise? You know they they went
out and felt like they needed to get

293
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:57.440
Mike Vernon for their first Cup.
Dominic kashik as well. Again, you

294
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:04.640
know how I feel about about Chris
Osgod. I think he belongs in the

295
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:07.079
Hall of Fame. Joe Dumars already
is in the Hall of Fame. Joe

296
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:15.000
Dumars was a first round pick of
the Pistons in a draft that back then

297
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:19.079
nineteen eighty five had seven rounds,
had one hundred and sixty two players taken.

298
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:29.599
Now you have sixty four players taken. Joe Dumar's draft was Patrick Ewing

299
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:36.279
and Wayman Tisdale and Ben wib Benjamin
Xavier McDaniel, Detla shremp Charles Oakley,

300
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:41.960
guys like that. John Konkak and
Joe Klein were taken ahead and Chris Mullen

301
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:48.160
taken ahead of Joe Dumars. Blair
Rasmussen was taken ahead of Joe Dumars.

302
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:56.279
Keith Lee, Ed Pinkney Kenny Green
were taken ahead of Karl Malone and Joe

303
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:02.680
Dumars, who a blob and Bill
Wennington were taking the head of Joe Dumars.

304
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:07.440
What were we just talking about with
Dave Briquette. You need a little

305
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:12.319
luck, don't you? Yes?
A. C. Green was a really

306
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:15.799
good player. Terry Porter helped his
team get to an NBA title. Both

307
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:19.240
those men were taken after Joe Dumars. But after all the names that we

308
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:25.400
just brought up, Karl Malone was
the thirteenth overall pick. Who takes ben

309
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:29.720
Wa Benjamin out of Creighton over Karl
Malone? Sometimes you just don't know.

310
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:36.599
You know who else the Pistons drafted
that year who turned out to be a

311
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:44.160
hell of a player? Spud Web? Yeah, they drafted spud Web in

312
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:48.240
the fourth round. Spud Webb went
on to have twelve solid years, mostly

313
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:52.960
with Atlanta. Never played for the
Pistons, but he was a fourth round

314
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.279
pick by Detroit. You know who
else was really good from that draft,

315
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:59.720
and I mean really good, played
eleven years, won some championships. Mario

316
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:03.880
l Do you remember him? Won
some championships in Houston, played at American

317
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:14.839
International College. What. Yeah,
those are good names. And sometimes I

318
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.359
look at a sports talk show and
I think, what am I learning today?

319
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:22.880
Besides a host opinion. What else
can you share with me? What

320
00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:26.720
do you I picture people? This
is kind of strange, probably, but

321
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:34.319
I picture people at an outdoor barbecue
or in a sports conversation and they're they're

322
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:38.119
talking with their friends, and the
friends bring up the same names all the

323
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:42.920
time of players who are taken later
in drafts who ended up being really good

324
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:52.799
players, surprise picks. Did you
know this where a guy finished his career?

325
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.559
For example, when you're thinking what
Mark Fidrick finished his career in Boston?

326
00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:02.039
Yes, but what do you always
Tom Brady was a six round draft

327
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:08.359
pick? You know Mario Elli,
Not that he comes front and center as

328
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:11.839
a Hall of Famer, because he's
not a Hall of Famer. He was

329
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:14.920
a seventh round draft pick, but
he played eleven years in the NBA and

330
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:25.279
won championships with Houston. And did
you know that Spladweb was a Pistons draft

331
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:29.960
pick. That's kind of how I
look at it. But yeah, I

332
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:33.400
think a long winded answer, I
think Joe Dumarsy's a Hall of Famer right,

333
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:38.680
five time on the all time defensive
Team, one of the greatest Pistons

334
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:45.920
in the history of the franchise,
Steady Long career, what was it,

335
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:52.599
fourteen years? Fifteen years or so, all with one team, as well

336
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:57.079
as a pretty damn good general manager. I know he made some mistakes,

337
00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:04.079
for sure, absolutely, making certain
draft Find me a general manager who's bat

338
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:15.799
in a thousand, You can't Jerry
West was a great general manager? Is

339
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:17.920
that fair to say? I mean, this guy's in the Hall of Fame

340
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:22.319
as a player, as a general
manager and as a contributor. Right.

341
00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:27.480
Absolutely, you don't think he made
mistakes, You better believe he did.

342
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:45.559
He absolutely did. Some people believe
that he was opposed to drafting certain really

343
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:56.160
good players like Magic Johnson, for
example. Some people believe that, remember

344
00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:06.640
he passed on Zion Williamson two.
So there are there are certain things that

345
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:12.160
even the best of who's ever done
it, have made mistakes with. There

346
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:21.480
are certain franchises. I think there
are certain franchise franchises I can say it

347
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:29.759
that we view as mistake free almost
all. Right, Seriously, there are

348
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:33.039
certain we look at them. They
are the they are the white they are

349
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:41.799
the blueprint, they are the ultimate. There are plenty of teams, plenty

350
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:53.119
of teams who have achieved great success
but missed made big mistakes. I say

351
00:30:53.119 --> 00:31:03.240
this all the time that the New
England Patriots have been incredible in their success,

352
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:08.480
most people, most franchises, and
most fan bases would at one point

353
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:14.200
say, you know what, I
really think it's important we kind of model

354
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:23.839
ourselves after that. Well, they
made mistakes. They used a first round

355
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:27.119
draft pick. I'm a kid by
the name of Nikhil Harry played just three

356
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:33.119
seasons in New England, had just
fifty seven picks. So just it's going

357
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:37.039
to happen. But I think Joe
Dumars is the answer to it, and

358
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:40.039
I think he's I think he did
a hell of a job for the most

359
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:51.559
part. Hey, there's a there's
a new contract for mister Travis Kelce out

360
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:57.839
there. The Kansas City Chiefs come
to an agreement on a two year extension

361
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:04.200
with him, and rightfully so,
one of the best tight ends in the

362
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:08.279
history of the sport. It got
me thinking last night when I was reading

363
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:13.519
this, and there's a lot of
really good tight end. George Kittle's a

364
00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:16.079
hell of a tight end, right
Is he as good as Mark Bavarro or

365
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:23.400
Dallas Clark or Jy novichk Riley odoms
with the Denver Broncos way back in the

366
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:29.079
day, Greg Olsen was a hell
of a player. Ben Coates was good.

367
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:32.680
Keith Jackson, I'm telling you,
man, Keith Jackson with Philadelphia back

368
00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:37.720
in the day, hell of a
player. Todd Christensen hell of a player.

369
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:44.200
Right? Is Kelsey a top ten
tight end of all time? Yeah?

370
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:49.039
I think he probably is. Whether
you think he's we can always have

371
00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:52.640
the debate if he's better than Nasie
Newsom or Charlie Sanders or Dave Casper.

372
00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:55.920
I really like Dave Casper. Shannon
Sharp, right, he's probably involved there.

373
00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:00.119
Who else would be involved there?
Detroit's own Toyo Gates. I would

374
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:07.839
guess Jason Witten, Kellen Winslow,
Rob Grinkowski, guys like that. They

375
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:13.400
named a trophy after John Mackie.
So he's got to be involved in the

376
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:17.839
conversation somewhere. Tony Gonzalez, for
sure, he could be the best for

377
00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:24.039
our Bears. Head coach Mike Dick
is probably involved in that too. But

378
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:31.000
when reading this article, I'm thinking
to myself, did he change people's perception

379
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:38.880
of the value of that position.
I've always felt tight end is really important.

380
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:45.279
I think it's a really big position. There are some people who have

381
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:50.720
said in the past it's a luxury
position. No, it's not. If

382
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:55.279
you think it's a luxury position,
you don't follow the follow the sport of

383
00:33:55.279 --> 00:34:02.799
football. It's really important. It's
mismatches. Get downfield, underneath coverages,

384
00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:08.639
create mismatches, Like I said,
with either safeties for size or speed with

385
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:17.480
linebackers. Don't tell me that a
guy who has three one thousand yard seasons

386
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:22.199
is a luxury position. That's Shannon
Sharp. Don't tell me that a guy

387
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:28.480
for a six year span who averaged
eighty catches per year and nine hundred yards

388
00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:30.639
per season is a luxury pick.
That's Jason Witten, because he's not.

389
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:40.480
Don't tell me a guy who had
three straight All Pro seasons in Antonio Gates

390
00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:45.239
and had nine hundred plus yards in
each of those seasons is luxury. He's

391
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:52.559
not. Kellen Winslow had eighty five
rocks in over one thousand yards in three

392
00:34:52.559 --> 00:35:00.679
straight seasons. You think that's luxury. Rob Gronkowski had four to one yard

393
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:05.440
seasons in a five year span with
at least ten touchdowns. Luxury, No

394
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:12.880
way, bull crap. Really important. But I do wonder at one point,

395
00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:24.000
at what point did a player change
his position? Definition slash importance and

396
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:30.199
who was it. I love Charlie
Sanders, God rest his soul. I

397
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:37.360
was really fortunate I had a chance
to work with him for years. He

398
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:42.360
was a third round pick out of
Wyoming, never caught more than fifty passes,

399
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:45.440
never reached more than seven hundred yards. That you can't say he changed

400
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:50.960
the position because the numbers weren't there
to support it in the sport. Doesn't

401
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:54.679
make him any less than anybody else. It just tells you that back then

402
00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:59.960
they didn't throw the ball that much. They didn't have guys who could throw

403
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:04.239
as much, and defenses were different, and so on and so for rules

404
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:14.960
were completely different. They didn't throw
that much with Ozzie Knewsome either. Even

405
00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:17.760
Dave casper As I brought up at
some point, like John Elway used Channon

406
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:25.440
Sharp a lot in the mid nineties
and late nineties, Jason Whitten in the

407
00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:39.840
early two thousands. Kelsey probably made
it even cooler than it was with Gonzales

408
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:46.920
and probably Grinkowski. It wasn't John
Mackie phenomenal player, but sorry, in

409
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:52.559
the late sixties, they just weren't. And Johnny I a suspending it actually,

410
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:58.719
so he actually was thrown quite a
bit, but not like today today.

411
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:00.880
I mean, I think there's there
are young kids now playing football who

412
00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:04.800
don't mind saying, yeah, I'll
be the tight end because you know why,

413
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:09.199
because they flexed the tight end a
lot. It's not always just staying

414
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:12.559
in and blocking and then oh,
by the way, on third down,

415
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:15.280
we might look your way. You're
our third or fourth option. A lot

416
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:22.320
of times they're the first option.
Kelsey could be the first. You don't

417
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:27.280
think Sam Laporta change people's minds,
absolutely, but it's not like Sam Laporta

418
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:30.159
is going to change the position.
Kelsey did it before him. Gonzalez did

419
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:38.199
it before Kelsey, Winslow did it
before Gonzales. Somehow, it just,

420
00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:45.000
you know, kind of evolves a
little bit. So the extension for Kelsey

421
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:50.880
warranted for sure. Patrick Mahomes is
thrilled with it. Who wouldn't be.

422
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:55.840
But he did change something. I
think. I think he was part of

423
00:37:55.880 --> 00:38:00.079
a changing movement. Maybe it's just
football that changed the position. But you

424
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:05.920
do have to get when you're in
this situation, when you're playing that position

425
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:12.719
in today's football, you do have
to be a lot more athletic. There's

426
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:15.519
a lot of guys who've played that
position who are a lot more athletic than

427
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:21.280
you give them credit for, including
a guy like Mike Ditka. Remember Antonio

428
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:24.199
Gates was a hell of a basketball
player. That's what I'd be doing.

429
00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:30.920
If I were coaching kids at certain
positions and they really liked those positions,

430
00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:35.199
they felt like, yeah, you
know what I mean. I want to

431
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:38.639
be the next Jimmy Graham is another
good tight end. Right, If you

432
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:45.320
want to be some have them play
certain sports. That's going to allow them

433
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:50.639
to excel in their favorite sport.
So when you're not playing football, play

434
00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:57.119
some basketball. Be a rebounder,
forces you to use your footwork box guys

435
00:38:57.119 --> 00:38:59.800
out. You're gonna have to box
guys out when you're going down catching passes,

436
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:05.239
right, I say that in lacrosse
all the time. Be a wide

437
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:09.280
receiver because you got to get off
the line with foot movement, shoulder shaking,

438
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:17.039
head movement, swim moves exactly what
you do in lacrosse or hockey,

439
00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:24.400
hockey lacrosse two My boys did those
two sports. They played hockey and lacrosse.

440
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:30.119
It's very similar movements. You're trying
to get around, trying to outdeek

441
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:37.039
a certain defender by using the same
type of motion. Ones on skates,

442
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:44.039
ones on feet, tight ends.
I bet you most of them are really

443
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:46.440
good basketball players at some point,
not saying in college, but in the

444
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:54.440
high school level, because you're using
