But here, the Dallas Cowboys have traded the twenty fourth pick to the Detroit
Lions. With the twenty fourth pick and the twenty twenty four NFL Draft,
the Detroit Lions select Terry and Arnold's defensive bagumb I love it. Oh.
People were going crazy with that. People in Detroit were going crazy with that
because they get one of the best cover corners. Some would argue the top
corner prospect in this class, who he gets compared to? Nate Wiggins drafted
a little bit later and the kid out of Clemson, Blions could have had
him. He's not going to be compared to Quinnon Mitchell. You can't not
from a Lion's perspective, because Mitchell was taken ahead of him. You didn't
have an opportunity to draft him. So that's that's not in the cards.
But he will be compared to somebody taken after Mitchell, by the way,
taken by the Philadelphia Eagles. I don't know if you saw Micah Parsons reaction.
I can't believe how lucky Philadelphia gets. They get a top ten talent
at their pick, and I'm thinking to myself, I'm thinking to myself,
I do wonder how often how often you watched Quinnon Mitchell at Toledo anyway.
Rob Rubick from the Detroit Lions broadcasts and at Ford Field and from Ballet Sports
in Eastern Michigan and former NFL tight end for seven years is with us here
at a send and the Soaring Eagle Casino resort where we were last night as
well before we get back to Rubes. Just a quick thought on that you
may have a regarding the draft. Also, the Nuggets over the Lakers last
night, in case you missed it, Jokic, Gordon and Quarter all with
double doubles, twenty point double doubles. Orlando blows out Cleveland, worst loss
in playoff history for the Cavs last night. That one blew my mind,
just because Orlando hadn't led against Cleveland in the first two games. Sixers get
a playoff career high from Joel Embiid with fifty points and they beat the Knicks.
They're within one win of tying that series. And then in the NHL
Florida over Tampa three to Carolina over the Islanders, same score, both teams
up three games to non Stanley Cup playoffs have been so damn good. I
mean, really impressive. And the Tigers will play the Royals tonight, the
first of a three game weekend series. This is what I wondered. There's
you know, there's two hundred and seventy five thousand people downtown last night for
the Draft. I'm not saying there's gonna be that many over the weekend.
It's got to be a nightmare to be around there. He would have thought
that the Tigers scheduling would have avoided a home series during the weekend of the
draft, just saying. So, it's Ries Olsen against Seth Lugo, who
is three and one, and Kansas City was a two one winner last night.
Salvador Perez had a first inning, two run homer. He's thirty three
years old and he leads the American League in RBIs. Dude's a Hall of
Fame catcher, really good player, and a really good dude. Uh So,
we're here at Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort across the Great State of Michigan.
On Exus and Bros eighty six six eight three eight forty eight forty three.
You can text Sports Radio to twenty one thousand. Roobs. I know
you've gotten really caught up in the Stanley Cup playoffs and in the NBA playoffs,
So tell me what you do. Yeah, before we get at that
would make one comment on the all the people being down there to Tigers.
Yes, and I can speak of this because my buddies today they took school
off former teachers or our teachers. I'm a former teacher, and they're going
down of the draft and they're gonna take a Tiger game when they're there,
so they're gonna double dip. So I think some of these people, all
those people went down in there. You know, first of all, you
gotta play the cit that's a good boy. Watch the game. It's gonna
get beautyl sixty five degree day in the city, so they'll double dip a
little bit. But yeah, NHL love it. It's just and my son,
who was a college football player and seem to be a doc. He
loved hockey. It's his favorite thing. He just he never played like you.
You know your son's played. Did you skate when you're young? No,
Yeah, I skated. I played until about nine or ten, and
then back then. You know, the skates are like socks with blades ont
them, so your ankles are like they were very they didn't support you.
Well, uh, but I loved it. And it's just there's so much
value in every Russian hockey. Every time they come down the ice pea.
Oh they don't score, no, no, but they almost score a lot.
Yeah, and that's what's exciting. So when you do get a goal,
it has great value. So I just in the overtime in NHL,
there's I mean, you can do an overtime football and NFL. I like
it. But if they get the ball and we get the ball, hockey
is like, stop me, we're going home. You're golfing especially. Yeah.
The only thing I wish hockey would do is if you're going to do
something during the regular season in overtime, I wish you would do that in
the postseason. So I would love to see three on three in the postseason,
just like they do during the regular season. If you don't want to
know that, Yeah, I hate I think the shootout. The shootout to
me is kind of pass. I think it's I think it's run its course.
Instead of playing five minutes of three on three and then go and shootout,
play another five minutes of three on three. Yeah, someone's gonna do
it for sure, and speaking of that, Rangers play at Washington today,
Vancouver's at Nashville. That's a really good series. Vancouver's a lot of fun
to watch, man. I mean, Quinn Hughes could have been a red
wing uh let all defense in points incredible. Winnipeg at Colorado, to me,
is the best series. I was looking forward to that more than any
I think either team can reach the Stanley Cup. They are so flipping fast,
they are so good. I love mccarr, I love McKinnon, I
love what Colorado has built. But I tell you Winnipeg, led by Kyle
Connor and Mark Schifleet, they can they can play, man, they are
so fast. And then Edmonton at Los Angeles that series tied at a win
apiece. I love watching Connor McDavid at five assists in game one, one
assist in game two. Zach Hyman had a hat trick in game one,
had a goal in Game two. It's it's phenomenal. So get a chance
if you can to check out some of that too, because you really don't
want to miss it. And look the NBA Playoffs it's been really good too.
I've enjoyed that more than I have probably in the past. The stunning
thing to me was, first of all, the Bucks look terrible even in
their win. I think that the year I thought, yeah, they struggled.
They have not responded to Doc Rivers like I thought they would. And
then the other thing was, yeah, it's it's kind of crazy. But
the Boston Series, I mean, for some for some reason, I mean,
who would have thought, no Jimmy Butler, no Rosier, and yet
Miami drains twenty three triples, a franchise playoff high and wins in Boston even
though Jaylen Brown had thirty three. Okay, you just mentioned Doc Rivers.
Is Doc Is he won NBA Championship? No, Okay, we talked about
I'm gonna throw this out there. You said he didn't respond when they brought
Doctor Riverson. I mean, but if I'm on thinking, why would he
hasn't been this legendary coach. Then you look at Miami. You're talking about
Eric Spolstra. All he does is win, and don't matter who he rolls
out there. He's a tremendous coach. He's a he's a Hall of Fame
coach. He's run up your favorite coach from San Antonio, I mean Greg
Popovich. Yeah, but you look at you, look at Sposter. He
just all he does is win him as you said, two of the top
players, and he's still with Jimmy Buckets the rules here. It's amazing.
I just don't know what he does differently, what his is which allows him
to be so good with so many different types of players. But how come
I guess they keep paying him, keeps him there. Thank you. I
think Pat pat Riley recognized it. I think Pat Ridley is one of the
few guys in the history of the NBA. Jerry West is another who has
been successful as a player. Now Riley wasn't Jerry West, but he was
still a decent enough player to play on a championship team, a coach and
a general manager. Wow, good point. I mean, he's just he's
just not really he's just really really good. All right. I want to
get back to the NFL because that's what this time of the year is all
about. What impresses you most about how the league operates? Before you joined
us, I said, all the different things that they do, what's the
thing that impresses you most about your league in general? Okay, as part
of the league and Rober Goodell from the top down is they keep you engaged,
as you're talking earlier match, from the pre season till the next pre
season. There's always something. You have the season, then you have the
playoffs, and you have the super Bowl. Then they work you right into
the combine. After the combine, then they go, you mock drafts one
point oh, one point whatever, all the way up to the draft right
now and now when the drafts thing. Guess what also the free agent time
they make. All the movement in the offseason they cover and that's covered.
Well, you creat your own network, I mean, and then the other
one stalled, the NBA network and MLB and so forth, NHL, but
there's nothing like the NFL network. So they keep you engaged all the time
they're marketing there there. Whoever, their strategic planners are of how to create
a company of professional football and to keep everyone engage. You run because it
is seasonal. Yeah that's a great and they don't make it. Yeah,
it's a great point. You got to take a quick time out back with
more. Rob Rubick here at a cent a sortie who casino and resort gets
your thoughts on the Lions draft pick. Terry on Arnold is the newest line,
who do you Want Next? In Day two, they with in the
Den with Dan Dickerson. Hey, Tiger's fans, A new baseball season means
a new season on Michigan's favorite island destination, mckinaw Island, Baseball Spring and
mckinaw Island things that return every year, reminding us what a great state we
live in. Shake off the winter blause, taking a game and playing your
trip to America's top summer destination, mckinaw Island dot Org. Buddy Kennedy has
come up from Toledo and already made a big impact on this Tiger scene.
His background is fascinating. When he was in middle school in Millville, New
Jersey, because his trainer also trained Mike Trout, he began working out with
him just as Trout was beginning his major league career. Kennedy says, even
though Trout was six years older, he always treated him like an equal.
He pushed him to work out as hard as he was, never let him
miss a workout. Trout isn't the only reason Kennedy reached the major leagues,
but it never hurts to have a superstar tell you you belong. Twelve years
later, The two are good friends and continue to work out now with trout

a start? Man? Hey, Hey, I'm o man, I'm eight.
These fans gonna be crazy, man, God, Lee, the Lions
have announced themselves as Super Bowl contenders. What are you going to help this
franchise get there? You already said it. I'm gonna have him win a
Super Bowl. Liesn't matter what are Hey, it's amazing, man, We're
gonna go crazy. What a moment for Terry on Arnold. Soak it all
in. Rob Rubik is with us yere at Soaring I see it on a
resort. Actually should get paid because he's helped host most of the show with
me and it's interesting. You've always told me how corners have to be different
than others. They have to be borderline cocky, they have to be incredibly
confident. He sure fits that mold. It sounds like it. He's getting
a taste of the Detroit crowd. Preseason, pre preseason. Yeah, you
know, during the draft, because you know, two hundred and seventy five
thousand, and I can imagine that to be leavest, two hundred and twenty
five thousand of those were Lion fans down there. I mean obvious teams,
people coming fro around the country. But you know, Matt, I was
lucky enough to have a chance to be the playoff games last year that I
do a show prior called Talk Talks. Will feel free to stop by the
but light don't. There's a shameless plug for rober Rick. Before the games.
I always bringing alumni. You know, we talked about last week's game
and upcoming games. I had a chance to be down there. That was
crazy environment. I mean, I said, it's like the guy who was
a job that walked in the desert for forty years looking for water. I
don't know. That's what the Lions fans are right now. They're looking for
anything. And last year, you know, they were being delivered by Brad
Holmes and Dan Campbell put a great product out there, and the product lived
up to all the hype and they had a great season. Now can they
follow it up. It's gonna be tough. It's gonna be a really difficult
conference. We saw a Green Bay with a young quarterback who looks like,
now you're gonna be pretty good. They're gonna be good. And the Bears
are just you know, that's a seven win team that got to be get
the first pick of the draft. So they got a couple guys. You
know, their receiving course just gonna be stupid, crazy good. So yeah,
I immediately think of the Stros commercial. You know when the guy going
through the desert. I was really hoping I got I got some nice cold
water, he says, I was really hoping for a strows. Remember that
it was a great commercial. Great Ben, you got you got a text
for us. Yeah. One draft observation. John All and Latham are men
among men, big old boys who block out the sun, pure muscle.
Yeah. Uh, I love the guys up front, folks. We talk
about the quarterbacks and the fact that there are six quarterbacks, a record six
quarterback taken in the first round. That is tied with the nineteen eighty three
class. But let's remember this. Eight offensive tackles went round one too,
that was a record. And there were also five trades. One of those
trades, of course, the Lions moving up to get you know, Terry
on Arnold. That was the olweight to Marino, wasn't it was? That
was the great the greatest quarterback drafted class ever. Yes, far, I
mean, I mean that's I don't think that's because they were taking Can you
name the six quarterbacks? Well, obviously lweight to Marino, there's two.
It was Jim Kelly in that one. Yes, who were Todd Black No
that time correct black legs. Yeah, that's four. There were two more
that were One was really good Ken O'Brien. Ken. He was not the
one. He was pretty good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Bright, He was a jet correct. He was actually pretty good. It
actually played really well when he went head to head with Marino because everybody was
upset. I thought he's a pretty good quarterback. I would call him,
I'd call him a good court The other's Tony Eason, right, Yes,
for the Patriots. Yeah, and got him to a Super Bowl in eighty
five against the Bears where they were simply truck when they played the best defense
and the best scheme ever. Not great, not great. So when you
look at the Lions now and look, it's not a finished product. Terry
on Arnold is one of the corners. How do you view their strengths for
this team knowing that they still have a couple of depth maybe another starter that
they're going to grab. My belief is always this or is I think if
you when you're drafting your first round pick, your second round pick should be
starters outside of maybe two positions because you've always said quarterback and cornerback are the
two most difficult transit positions to transition from the come college football to the NFL.
But I would say those two two rounds have to be starters, maybe
in the third round, and then you build depth. So how do you
look at them and their strengths right now as you see the line? Well,
okay, and that's a great question, Matt. I look at their
strength as their offensive line. And to the people who I've talked football with
as much as any of my life, was my college coach Jim Mark and
you and Jim Hark. When I went to training camp, I said,
coach I was starting camp. I comment, I'm having a hard time blocking
these guys. He said, well, what do you do well? Roops?
I said, well, I get open, I catch them ball.
He goes, Yep, you do that. He said, work in your
block, but don't worry about you keep catching the ball and getting open.
He says, they will overlook your you know what you don't do well.
So he would highlight my strength as I'm getting to here and you, and
this strength is offensive line. So I have no problem building more depth,
creating more because you lose your receiver that's maybe not not your one, but
you lose your two through five. Here Diamond does, and I'm sorry I
don't. I'm not the greated receiver. There's a lot of good receivers out
there, So you're okay with Josh Reynolds being gone. You feel absolutely there's
there's fifty other Josh Reynolds in the NFL. And that's not a knock on
Joss. He's one of fifty. There are good backups and stuff. There's
fewer Amon Rods, all right, but you can plug that in but offensive
line. Now you get a really good offensive linement and he goes down.
Man, it's nice. You don't want that huge drop off because it's such
a butterfly of flat fact. When all of a sudden, you there's a
guard, you put a guy that it's a pylon, an orange cone,
and all of a sudden, your quarterback is getting pressured. We can't get
the ball off, we're punting all the time, we're getting sack, we're
turning it over. You can't do that. So that is so important.
So build depth there, create some depth so you can handle adversity in the
seat with injuries, and I have no problem with that. And then also
you always want to go after your knee areas. That's your sin. Cornerback.
We knew that he signed in the off season, but they still draft
creating that depth, getting better where you already think you're going to be okay.
And that's what the later routes do and the good team. We looked
at the Patriots for years. They were the benchmark what we all wanted to
be, like, that's all they did. They stockpiled draft picks. They
didn't care about first and second round as much, but they wanted ten picks
from the second or late second through the seventh round. They want ten eleven
picks every year, and that's how they built their team. Jep, we
talked about this too. There's twenty two guys, I'll say twenty five guys
that play in the game most of the time. Maybe it's you more of
those twenty five guys. Twentiam's job is not to lose the game. When
I didn't have to win a game, Billy Simms was gonna win the game,
or Gary Danis and Ery Ship was going to make a pass a Londred
times. What I had to do is do my job. Don't get a
holding call. They throw the ball, catch it, get what you can
get. Don't let your guys beat you clean. Just do your job.
Don't lose a game. And they have the guys to win games on the
rock can win the game, right, they had Jamior Digs out of the
bath field Monte. They can win games for here defensively, Now Hutch,
he can make it. That can help you win a game. But you
need guys that are solid, guys that aren't going to be a gaping hole.
And I have no idea what your question was right now. I'm no,
I'm just I was asking what your thought was on their roster makeup to
this point now, so you answered it. Yeah, you answered it for
sure. People talk about Dan Campbell type players. Terry On Arnold appears to
be a Dan Campbell type player. How would you describe a Dan Campbell type
player without getting into the kneecaps and stuff like that stuff. Yeah, I
would. I would like to think I was a Dan Campbell type player.
I would have thrived under him from the fact that I played with intelligence,
I played with urgency, and I played to my limit. In other words,
I got everything out of my body and out of my talent as I
could. I didn't. It wasn't like seven years later after I played I
looked back and think, yeah, man, I could have been better at
this or but no, I pretty much maxed out my potential and that's what
he wants. And I remember Dan made a quote from his first year.
He said, we had the same type of guys that Brad and I assembled
that first year. The differences are more talented, he said. We've gotten
more talented guys that are going to play hard to the whistle, are gonna
work in the off season, are going to play at appliches, but play
for the guy next to you, And I get what that means. You're
playing for something bigger than yourself. I kind of say, you know,
you look at religion. Everyone has different views on religion. But it's my
thing is if you just got to know that you're not the center of the
universe, that there's something bigger and better out there for you. And that's
what football is. There's something bigger and better for you. You're not it
now. I was never Calvin Johnson, you know, Kelvin was kind of
in a lot. But you need guys like that, but you need a
coreship and that's what they have that offensive line. They don't care who gets
written up in the paper. You know, they don't need the camera in
their face. And you're going to death. And those are Dan Campbell guys,
guys who are great. They're not gonna quit, They're gonna we'ren ever,
We're gonna keep grinding away. And that's what he wants. He doesn't
want a bunch of divas, yep. And he's he's got a good one
in tearing on its. Hey, thanks, Ribs. I appreciate it very
much Matt. It's great to be with you last night, great to be
with you all morning long. We're back with more Onoxes and Bros. After

a send here this morning. Bill Simons in The Huge Show will stay in
Detroit and do his broadcast from there later on this afternoon. And don't forget
middle of June thirteenth through the sixteenth, the LPGA Meyer Classic, the tenth
annual at Bliffield Country Club. We'll be out there, hopefully broadcasting live from
there as well. I know we got a phone call. Let's get to
a text real quick and then to the phones. Ben. How about the
text for us? Yeah, it says this is going back to Lebron.
It says Lebron is a baby, he ruined the NBA for his years.
New guys are sort of bringing it back. But I'm not a fan.
Michael Jordan is the go. Yeah. I think Michael Jordan's the best player
I've ever seen. I never saw Bill Russell, Will Chamberlain in his aday,
Elgiin Baylor, Jerry West, Bob Coozy all day for me, and
it's tough to say, but Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time.
I don't want to look. I'm not a huge Lebron James fan.
I don't think he ruined the NBA. I mean, the NBA's is popular
now as it's ever been. Lebron James is an absolute freak. He's a
twenty time All Star. He's an NBA champion four times, he's a four
time MVP, six time All Defensive Player, four time Finals MVP, nineteen
times All NBA. The dude is he does stuff. I'm sorry. He's
thirty nine years old and he is still this good. It's simply incredible.
Who at thirty nine, Who at thirty nine is averaging twenty six points a
game. That said, it gets a little old when he whinds as much
as he does. So maybe that's what the texter is referring to, and
that's possible. I don't know if i'd say he ruined the NBA, but
I do believe he's He's put on a bad karma slash face of the NBA
when he goes to those extremes, and he does it more often times than
not, and it gets a little ridiculous for me. All Right, to
the phone lines, we go the Meyer hotline if you will, and you
can join the conversation. Eight sixty six eight three, eight forty forty three.
Freddy's been standing by Freddie. Good morning to you. How are you
on this Friday? Good morning, chef. How you doing, sir?
I'm doing great. Thanks for the call. What's going on? If anything's
ruined the NBA, it's the money, in my opinion, But I guess
you could say that about all sports, but I think more especially in the
NBA. The money's just four years, four hundred million. That's a lot
of money. But I want to talk to you about the draft and a
couple of things as well. Ruberg goes on, I wanted to touch on
before because I want to ask you about the six quarterbacks they with the draft
in the first run. Excuse me, Roope said something. I'm glad he
said it because I mean, honestly, if a fan said it, you
know it'd be it'd be coming from a different direction. But when he said,
hey, Golf, think about taking maybe less money, more guaranteed money.
Stay here. You got a great situation here, I thought that was
I thought that was refreshing to hear that from an athlete. And it's almost
like the Lions are created this when you when you got the whole new home
subdivision, right, they got the model home. It's like almost Homes has
created this model home. And Golf is sitting in the foyer. He's like,
listen, Jared, this is what we're this is what we're building.
Uh. I get you. I get your house at a difference. I
get your house a really good picture right there. I like that a lot.
Did we lose Freddy? Oh there you are? Okay, all right,
I'm sorry. So it's almost like he's like I get your house at
discal just sit in the floor and watch what I can do with all the
additions that and maybe if you take a little bit less money, we can
create something here and you'll be this iconic figure for the next one hundred years
in Detroit. It's something to consider if you're going to take less money.
And I like I like the Anthony said that because it's coming from a fan,
it would be different, and so I thought that was refreshing. Yeah,
I think you're right about I think you're right about that. If it
comes from a fan, it is different. I have a hard time asking
athletes to take less money. When I'm me myself, I would ask anybody
in any job they do, any job, I don't care if you're an
athlete, a quarterback, whatever. How many times are are you saying to
your boss, I'll take less money if it means more reward for the company.
You would if it meant losing your job. But Jared Goff would be
able to get a job somewhere. I think it's very convenient for us.
We want How many times have we heard take a hometown discount. I used
to laugh at that. How many people do that? You do it.
Maybe later in your career if you want to ring, But when you got
a chance to make the money, most people would say take the money.
I mean, look, Joe Burrow didn't take less money. Patrick Mahomes didn't
take less money. Justin Herbert didn't take less money. Lamar Jackson didn't take
less money. Jalen Hurts didn't take less money. Why is Jared Goff the
guy who's got to take less money? How much is not enough? How
much is too much? I guess that all depends on the point of view,
the perspective, right. Yeah. And by the way, I asked
my boss for more money all the time. He never listens today. So
you you you brought the six quarterbacks, and that was a fair point,
you said you you said this morning, Hey, all of them are not
going to pan out, right, Chef, Is it fair to say?
Is it fair to say, hey, maybe it's not the quarterback didn't pan
out. Maybe it was the organization didn't pan out. You know, we
can go back to a lot of examples post where I suppose that is Possiblely,
Look, I suppose it's possible. It's just so hard to hit on
that many players. That's all I mean we were talking about the eighty three
draft that we reason. Thanks for the phone call, Freddie, It's always
good to talk to you. Have a great weekend. The reason we bring
up the eighty three draft is because that's the last time six quarterbacks were taken
in the in the first round, and it's the most ever. Well,
how many of those guys really panned out? Todd Black legend didn't plan out.
Tony Easton for the most part, did not pan out. Ken O'Brien
I think was pretty damn good. Okay, they're not all going to work
out. You think they will when you first get them, but it's it's
just not realistic. Who would be the guy who doesn't work out? I
think Jaden Daniels is pretty damn good. I love Drake May's power, and
I love that he's the youngest son. That means he got the crap kicked
out of him quite a bit as a kid, and he's one of those
guys who shucks it off and says, you know what, let's go.
I'm okay with that. Caleb Williams is really gifted athletically. You know,
you could talk about each one of those guys. Michael Pennixt's a really good
ball downfield. JJ McCarthy's a winner. Which of those translates? It's really
hard to pinpoint. But let me just get back to the Jared Goff discussion.
If you're Jared Goff and his agent, I might add, and you
and I probably this is such a hard conversation because I just can't relate.
How do you relate to fifty million dollars? It's just incredible. But if
you're Jared Goff and you see that Deshaun Watson gets a guaranteed deal of two
hundred and thirty million dollars, should you not at least start there considering what
you've accomplished? And he hasn't. Herbert Burrell they correcked the two hundred million
dollar threshold with total guarantees during the twenty twenty three offseason. So Deshaun Watson's
two hundred and thirty million dollars, Joe Burrow's two nineteen, Herbert's two nineteen.
Patrick Mahomes is two hundred and eleven or two hundred and ten and a
half if you're Patrick Mahomes, and that's a lot of money, don't get
me wrong. And he's getting paid for what he's been able to do.
He's one of the best, if not the best quarterback in the league.
For crying out loud, If I'm Patrick Mahomes, I'm like, I'm underpaid
at my position. Justin Herbertson never gone to a Super Bowl, Joe Burrow
has never won one. On Watson's never healthy and gets in trouble off the
field. What's the knock against Patrick Mahomes his wife's voice. Seriously, if
you're Jared Goff, how do you look at what some of these guys are
making and say, yeah, yeah, I'll take less. Sure other teams
found a way to do it. Look, I would love if he did
it. Here's my question to you. Has a player taken less for the
betterment of the team? Tom Brady had done that in the past, right,
Yes, a little bit less. He was still making a ton of
money, but he could have made more. It's a fair point. I
don't know. It's not like a lot of people remember a guy and say,
if you're at Ford Field next year and Jared Goff loses a game even
though he took less money, how many people are going way to go Jared.
I know it's a tough loss, But I'm really glad you took less
money for the team. Way to go, proud of you. Nobody's saying
that, man, they want you to win. If he makes a lot
of money or takes you know, puts the team in a little bit of
a challenging situation. For more money, you're going to go. You better
win. Even if he makes less money, you better win. How many
people do you talk to and they say the expectation for the Lions is to
get to the super Bowl or to win the Super Bowl. Did Penney Sewell
take less money? I'm on ros Saint brownsher didn't. He's I was paid
receiver in the league. Anybody think about asking him to take less money?
Why? I mean, he's not on the field on every single play.
Jared Goff is, Penney sewele is, and I like Saint Brown a lot.
It's not a knock on him. I'm just asking we want Jared Goff
to take less money because he's got a good thing going. So did Saint
Brown got a pretty damn good thing going, and he was a fourth round
draft pick. He's got a damn good thing going. Didn't ask him to
take less money. It's an interesting situation, you know, and I think
we we pick certain situations to use as our examples. Maybe a little off
base here eight six six eight three eight forty eight forty three. You can
text us Sports Radio to twenty one thousand. I'm just I think of like
today's economy, and I think of business owners. Freddy called in and and
and kind of parley that after what Rob Rubik, who joined us here at
Sorting Casino and Resort, was discussing. So I'll use I mean, Freddie's
got a very successful restaurant where he sells pizza and pasta and all that other
stuff, and it's really good food. I think of today's economy. How
many people are working for you? Did you ask them to take less money?
Are you taking less money? It's if you are, you're probably working
twice as hard though it's hard to deal with this stuff. Are you willing
to do it? Are you willing to do in your business which you're asking
another person to do in theirs. That's why sometimes I have a hard time
discussing it, or at least suggesting it. Not discussing it, but hard
time suggesting it because I don't know if I could. I don't know if
I could do that now, if it's an offer, if somebody comes to
me with a job offer and says, I want you to do this,
and this is our budget, this is what we can do, that's completely
different. The Lions chose to sign Saint Brown and Sewel, they gave Taylor
Decker a big contract a couple of years ago. They've made certain choices.
They still have a creative way where they can probably sign Jared Goff, give
them what is justified and not be in salary cap hell, that's my guess.
It's up to them to figure that out. But I don't care what
anybody says. Anytime you're in a business, or anytime you're a worker and
you see somebody else doing your job, if you have the proof that you're
as good, if not better than they are, and they're making almost twice
as much as you are, or GOB's amount of money more than you are,
it's going to sting a little bit. And I don't know if you
can necessarily blame them. What do you want today? What are you hoping
for today? In the NFL Draft for the Detroit Lions. The hope here
is you get one of two things. This is based on need. Now
this is based on need. So I don't know what their draft board looks
like. I don't know where they have. You know, they don't need
Cooper Dejene. Of course, I'd love a guy like Jershon Newton from Illinois,
but he won't be there. Right. If you wanted a receiver,
Donas Mitchell would be a nice pick. He's the kid out of Texas.
Would love something like that. I think you need something UPNT either offensively or
defensively, or you need a receiver. If the Jackson Powers Johnson kid fell
and he's the center. He's six y three, three hundred and thirty pounds.
First Oregon player PAC twelve player to win the Riminton Trophy that's given annually
to the most outstanding center, really powerful run blocker. It's got great size,
can get to the next level. This is what they say about him,
right, good pass protector. If that guy's around, I don't anticipate
him being there, but maybe another trade is doable to trade up. I
would strongly consider that. There's a guy by the name of Chris Braswell out
of Alabama. He's a little slight at two hundred and fifty pounds, but
he can get off the edge. Didn't start a lot. I think he
was. He was a rotational guy along their defensive line, but he had
eight and a half sacks. He had as many sacks as the defensive end
out of Missouri who was drafted in the first round, Darius Robinson, who's
by the way from Campton, Michigan. Those are a couple of names.
I'd love the I'd love the j Jackson Powers kid. Love that. That
would be fantastic. I just don't think he's going to be there. And
if you're looking for a possible wide receiver, you know I'm I'm not keen
on the Jalen Polk is a kid out of Washington. He's six' one,
two oh three. I don't know about that. The de tackle out
of Ohio State who was a Michael Hall. He might be there by the
time Detroit picks in the second round. And the Zach Frasier out of West
Virginia. Any of those names, if they happen to be there, or
if they're close to it and I had to give up a fourth or something
like that, I'd strongly consider it. But you want to have picks.
Remember, Detroit feels like they're just a couple of picks away and they got
a big part of it with Terry on Arnold. Hey, I want to
thank everybody involved in the show here today, especially Rob Rubick for joining us,
