WEBVTT 1 00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:26.760 All Writy seven o'clock hour, exuson Bros and the Michigan Sports Network. Dennis 2 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:33.759 Fifthian in for Matt Shepherd's great to be here with you as we forge ahead 3 00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:38.240 on this Friday. Get you ready for this standing weekend in the state of 4 00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:44.600 Michigan. Yeah, we're talking about the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Lions, 5 00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.399 and I'll get you some questions on both of those teams. And if you 6 00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:53.479 know the numbers and you got the text, you could jump in on those 7 00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.960 right away. Also, Capan, you have to speak and we've got along 8 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:02.399 with the open line of for you, I'm saying open topics. If you're 9 00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:07.280 somebody that's interested in what's going on on the ice or the hard wood in 10 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.920 the NBA and NHL playoffs, you can jump in on that. Where last 11 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:19.319 night you had the Rangers winning in overtime again they won the other night and 12 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:25.040 double overtime last night. Just an ot penerin with the winner of the Rangers 13 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.840 have a three to zero lead over the Canes and the Blue Shirts are seven 14 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:34.840 to zero in the playoffs. In the nightcap, Dallas got out to a 15 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:42.400 four zip lead. They hang on to a five to three victory and they 16 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:48.200 tie up their series with the Avs. The Stars do at one game a 17 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:55.480 piece, and then in basketball, the Calves lose Game one against the Celtics 18 00:01:55.480 --> 00:02:00.640 by twenty five points. Cleveland comes back, turns the tables on Austin wins 19 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:06.439 by twenty four. Last night, Cleveland shoots well from downtown Boston does not, 20 00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:12.280 that series is tied at one. And then late night in Okac look 21 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:20.039 at Doncic limped around to a twenty nine to ten and seven stat line as 22 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.039 the MAVs were able to even up their series with Oka See by winning by 23 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:29.919 nine. So that's the way it goes in the playoffs right now. A 24 00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:35.199 lot of different things that you could jump on if you're so inclined on the 25 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.199 basketball and hockey side. Now at the first hour, I asked you what 26 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:44.560 the biggest question mark for the Detroit Lions is heading into the summer. And 27 00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:57.800 the answer Jared Goff and when and if and when the Lions signed him to 28 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.520 this gigantic extension. Brad Holme was the Lions GM yesterday, says he's earned 29 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:07.680 it, golf has. He also said it's a high priority and he said 30 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.960 he would like to have had it done a couple of weeks ago along with 31 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.719 Sewell and Saint Brown. Are you buying that? I think he's trying to 32 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.680 bide his time so they can look at their third round pick from a couple 33 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:24.240 of years ago, Hendon Hooker, and seeing if that can get involved with 34 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:32.840 the negotiations, and would they really play it out with a last year on 35 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.879 his deal, thinking that, oh, if it works well, great, 36 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:44.719 we could just always make that decision, or we could just put the franchise 37 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:52.759 tag on him. I don't like the idea of the franchise tag on Jared 38 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.319 Goff. It protects the Lions with some guaranteed money, but also it's the 39 00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.199 way that they have it going right now. I think that they'll find a 40 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:09.319 way to get this deal now a couple minutes. In a couple minutes, 41 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:17.439 I'll ask you and I'll tell you what I think where Jared Golf should be 42 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:24.079 ranked with other NFL quarterbacks. But I'm going to ask you what you think 43 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:30.920 an acceptable rating is for Golf and I'll give you that ranking myself at seven 44 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:35.040 nineteen as I went through that exercise. As I was driving around yesterday ranking 45 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:40.120 the NFL quarterbacks, it is that time of year, and I'll see if 46 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.079 you find it acceptable. That's an acceptable ranking, but I'll give you that 47 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.360 one. Coming up at seven nineteen, we talk about the Tigers and we 48 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:51.079 ask you how you feel about them? The number eight sixty six, eight 49 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:58.720 three eight forty eight forty three across Michigan on the Meyer Hotline with the open 50 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:03.759 topics for you eight eight three eight four eight four three. Also looking for 51 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:09.920 those techs you tech sports radio to twenty one thousand. You get that prompt 52 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:16.839 and then you shoot something out to talk about here on x'es and bros. 53 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:24.040 Now. I put a tweet out about the Tigers, and I said it 54 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.759 last hour home. It's not exciting when I ask somebody says, hey, 55 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:33.560 how are you feeling about the Tigers? Got those Detroit City connect jerseys at 56 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:40.240 the Astros coming in, they're above five hundred. How you feeling well? 57 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:48.879 After losing two of three to the Guardians, not so hot. I feel 58 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:55.160 lukewarm after getting swept by the Yankees in the Bronx at a one two, 59 00:05:55.399 --> 00:06:05.800 three run game. Lukewarm with this team. I put that tweet out and 60 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:13.519 Derek says he's seen nothing to suggest this team has improved at all. From 61 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.800 last season. If anything, the offense and their young core pieces have regressed, 62 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:27.519 save Riley Green. I got CW responding as I just put that tweet 63 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:32.120 out saying they could draft and develop a team full of superstars, it won't 64 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:40.519 matter. They'll all be Yankees or Dodgers when they become free agents. Baseball 65 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:53.079 needs a salary cap. H that's not happening. And I get the pessimism 66 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.519 about if you have a good player, they're all just going to end up 67 00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:02.639 a big market team. And man, if I was sitting over here, 68 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.879 I guess I gotta go back twenty when Mike Ilitch was alive, I would 69 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:15.000 say that's not happening. Mike Ilitch is not letting Riley Green, for instance, 70 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:23.920 leave town just for the big money of New York or LA. But 71 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.600 you could say, yeah, we're not dealing with Mike, We're dealing with 72 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:32.600 Chris. And the pessimism, as I went over in the first hour, 73 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:44.439 the overall trust and the Tigers owner Chris Ilitch is it's very low. He 74 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:48.360 had shown it's next to nothing. Might be a little bit harsh, but 75 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:54.240 you know, because he did he did get a J. Green, I 76 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:59.680 mean a J. Hinch. Nice to bring in aj Green in his prime 77 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.879 to a lineiss a wide receip but no, but Hinch, that's what he's 78 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:11.120 got. Anything else not really. So that's where it's at when it comes 79 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:15.560 down to it. Now, these uh, these Connect jerseys. When I 80 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:22.480 first saw them, I thought, well, there'll be a ton of Tiger 81 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:31.639 fans who will buy these up if the if the team comes limping home and 82 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.159 they're this is before the season, you know, I knew they were going 83 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.679 to be one of the teams that are gonna have these alternate jerseys, these 84 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.840 city Connect jerseys. Say well, you know they'll if the Tigers are doing 85 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.360 good and they look good, you know people will be snapping those up. 86 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:54.120 And that they're just a little bit above five hundred and one game. I 87 00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:05.279 have seen mixed reviews of these Connect jerseys, and the people will people will 88 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.120 be buying these things up. Now. You know, you get a hat 89 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:15.679 that says Detroit Me and you could have gone out there, the two of 90 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.919 us, and we could have put together our jerseys and people would say, 91 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.399 oh, we hate them, but then they would snap them up. That's 92 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.679 kind of what I look. I don't know they they put the creative minds 93 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:33.360 behind these, But they're a little bit like the tea. I'd give them 94 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.320 a little bit above lukewarm because people like new things. They get that, 95 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.000 and they are new and they had they don't look anything like what the Tigers 96 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.960 have going, So a little bit better than luke warm. Woul the city 97 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.480 connect Jerseys when it comes down to it, all right, so we get 98 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:54.600 some Tigers, we got some Lions. Where what'd you rank Jared Goff with 99 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.200 the other NFL quarterbacks. I've got that answer. We'll see if that is 100 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:05.279 acceptable to you. So as a Lion fan, straight ahead here on X's 101 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.639 and Bros. On the Michigan Sports Network.

Now, if I could bump it up 133 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.399 a little bit, high forties, high sixties, I would take that all 134 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:22.600 the time. Well in a groove right now, I'm loving it in terms 135 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:28.679 of the weather. Let's go now the playoffs. Last night, on the 136 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:33.600 basketball side, you had the Cavs evening up their series at one game piece, 137 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:39.679 beating the Celtics in Boston by twenty four points, and then you had 138 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:46.559 the MAVs taking down the Thunder in OKC by nine points and evening up that 139 00:13:46.759 --> 00:14:00.759 series at one game apiece, and hockey the stars like the MAVs and also 140 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:07.440 the Calves. They evened up their series with the Avs by downing the Colorado 141 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:13.200 Avalanche five to three. And it doesn't fit the tied up series or anything 142 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:20.320 else, but the Rangers they win in overtime again over the Hurricanes, three 143 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:26.799 to two. I've watched those last two games, and when you would look 144 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:31.080 at you'd say, well, what's been the best series in the Stanley Cup 145 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.399 playoffs so far? It's actually been the Rangers and the Canes. You wouldn't 146 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.240 think that if you're just looking at the numbers, but then you say, 147 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.279 oh yeah, two double over, two overtime games, one double overtime game, 148 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.600 and man, it's the great thing. And then also the frustrating thing 149 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:54.399 about hockey these last two games, the Canes have been the better team the 150 00:14:54.440 --> 00:15:03.039 majority of the time and they have just not been able to They've been shut 151 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:09.480 out on the power play. And then the great equalizer, as we all 152 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:16.159 know in goal Shasterkin, he's not gonna he's not losing four games in a 153 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:22.519 row. I'll guarantee that, oh boy, I'll guarantee that Igor Shasterkin isn't 154 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:28.360 losing four games in a row for the Rangers. But that's been a very 155 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:35.279 entertaining series, although that's only been a couple in the history of the NHL 156 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.919 where you've seen a team come back from three to zero. And I just 157 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.000 made that guarantee that it's not happening. What would I do if it happened. 158 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:48.320 Uh, I would have to I would have to take some recommendations on 159 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.600 that. I don't put out many guarantees, but I feel pretty safe in 160 00:15:52.240 --> 00:16:00.480 that one. Even though the Canes they've all been one goal games and two 161 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:04.200 of them have been in overtime, and Carolina looks pretty good. I just 162 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:11.960 I feel pretty good about the guarantee, all right, So an acceptable ranking 163 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:18.039 for Jared Goff. I ranked the first thing. It was just perusing yesterday 164 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:23.840 and I came upon a post draft quarterback power ranking and it was on CBS 165 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.759 and I had never heard of the author. Cody Benjamin is his name from 166 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.759 CBS Sports. But I'm like, well, let's see. I thought, 167 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:41.519 well, where's he going to have golf after the draft? And so I 168 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:44.480 went in there, and I said, mahomes at one, All right, 169 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:51.960 brock Party number two? What brock Party? It caught my attention. Now, 170 00:16:52.159 --> 00:17:00.080 you see a lot of rankings of quarterbacks pretty much by every service or 171 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:06.799 any person that's following the NFL. Covering the NFL, you're gonna do that, 172 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.079 just like a power rankings for the teams post draft, all of it. 173 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:14.599 But when I saw brock Party, I stopped and said, well, 174 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.799 this guy, this guy must be one's forty nine er guy too, trying 175 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:25.559 to just you know, create some controversy. And I just stopped at that. 176 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.599 And but as I was driving around yesterday I kept coming back to it. 177 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.640 I'm like, how could anybody in the right mind covering the NFL put 178 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:38.200 brock Party ranking quarterbacks as the number two quarterback heading into the twenty twenty four 179 00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:45.440 season, Just driving around mad at this writer. But then as I was 180 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.559 driving, I was thinking about then Jared Goff and where I would put him 181 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:56.119 in a ranking, and thinking about that cap number and if it gets close 182 00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:59.559 to fifty million, how that's going to hurt the Lions and the other areas 183 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.039 unless they draft really well, continue to draft really well. And then I 184 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:10.880 thought, well, maybe this guy is looking at the Brock pretty cap number, 185 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:17.279 and that's why he's putting Party number two, because that's a pretty nice 186 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:23.839 situation if you're looking at making fifty million dollars a year for these quarterbacks that 187 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:30.839 are up towards the top, or if you're Brock Party and your cap number 188 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:37.240 is one million dollars or two million dollars over the next two years, you've 189 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.359 got fifty million to play with if you're the forty nine ers, And you 190 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:44.519 could say, well, that's why you would rank him number two. And 191 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:51.839 I thought, maybe this guy that I completely dismissed looking at his rankings, 192 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:56.160 upon further review, I thought, maybe this guy's pretty sharp. Well, 193 00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:02.440 he was writing why he had the rankings of the of the quarterbacks. It 194 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:04.480 wasn't just I mean, you could just rank them, fine, but then 195 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.960 you can also put your reasoning under anyth sense. He had reasoning, and 196 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:11.839 I thought for sure he was going to say, well, with Rock Party, 197 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.680 me and mister irrelevant, and you're paying him peanuts for the next two 198 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:18.880 years. This is a great situation. That's why I've got him number two. 199 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:21.920 I thought that was going to be the reasoning, and I thought, 200 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.359 oh, excellent, but he didn't put that at all in there, so 201 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:29.000 then so I don't know. So I came back to my original thought, 202 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.960 where this guy doesn't know what he's doing, putting Brock party number two. 203 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:38.799 Now, all of that being said, as I was ranking the quarterbacks, 204 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:47.759 I said, I figured that with the realization or the thought that you must 205 00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:52.839 include how much you're paying this quarterback to put him in a ranking. And 206 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.680 then when I had Goff where I was going to fit him in, I 207 00:19:55.680 --> 00:20:03.119 would say, would I trade this quarterback right now with their contract for Jared 208 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.200 Goff? So those were my parameters as I went through it, and like 209 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:12.440 everyone, I put Mahomes two and then I think the next three Joe Burrow, 210 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:17.279 Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen two three four. That's the way I 211 00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:19.039 ranked him. If you wanted to say you thought Josh Allenen it would be 212 00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:22.880 two or Lamar would be two. You know, I'm not gonna kill anybody 213 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:27.039 for that. It's subjective. I put Joe Burrow too because he's had success 214 00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:33.759 the Bengals have against the Chiefs. That's why I did it. Lamar was 215 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.200 the MVP, Josh Allen's pretty good, and then so five six, I 216 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.599 went with Jalen Hurts. I think what we've seen from him and the team 217 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:44.599 that he has around him, how the offense is built for him. At 218 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:48.160 five, I've got Stroud after his outstanding year, plus he gets Steph Diggs 219 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.599 Stefan Diggs. I put him at six. So those are the top six. 220 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:57.680 So then i put Jordan Love at seven. And that's where I'm gonna 221 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:03.839 ask you. You're a Lions fan, can you admit or do you think 222 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:10.960 that this is not acceptable? Of having Jordan Love in front of Jared Goff 223 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:15.920 and a quarterback ranking. I got Justin Herbert at eight, also in front 224 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:22.359 of Jared Goff. I've got Matt Stafford in front of Jared Goff's I'll put 225 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.359 those three guys right there. Acceptable or not as a Lion fan, Love, 226 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.759 Herbert, and Stafford ranked above Jared Goff heading into the season. That's 227 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:36.799 out there for you. I'll give you the rest where Goff ended up landing 228 00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:40.279 on that list. We've got the Tigers. We're talking a little bit about 229 00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:47.440 the Lions and their quarterback situation and the NHL and NBA playoffs. That's what 230 00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:51.400 we have in the mix on x'es and Bros.

And thanks to Matt Shepherd for letting me pinch hit for him 250 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:06.960 this Friday. A couple of weeks ago, I was in for sheperone in 251 00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:10.759 the NFL Draft. But you know, being on on a Friday, it's 252 00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:12.440 always great, like I said, to be on. But then, let 253 00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:22.039 me just think about your regular sports fan in the state of Michigan, mondays, 254 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.079 you kind of understand. Hell, you gotta put that brave face on 255 00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:33.440 and get into work with Friday Staring at a weekend in the spring in Michigan 256 00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:38.480 at this time of year, it's, uh, you know, you feel 257 00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:41.960 pretty good. I gotta imagine we'll get you ready for that. Now. 258 00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:48.119 We've talked about some uh some baseball. Actually, we got all four food 259 00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:53.920 groups going for you. We've got the the playoffs in basketball and hockey, 260 00:24:55.039 --> 00:25:03.160 and what's going on there. Last night you had Cleveland and Dallas winning on 261 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.960 the hardwood, and then on the ice, Dallas and the New York Rangers 262 00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:15.960 getting the victories. And as always, I will dive into those anything that's 263 00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:18.319 you know, you're thinking about when it comes to the playoffs. So then 264 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:25.480 you know the Tigers, I'm going to get into your feels. I've asked 265 00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:30.119 for your feeling the Tigers, but we'll get back to the Tigers at eight 266 00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.799 oh one. I'll give you my feeling the Tigers, and we'll get your 267 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.880 feeling on the Tigers so far, and then how you feel for the rest 268 00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:42.039 of the year. Right now, we're talking about the Lions and their biggest 269 00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:48.880 question mark heading into the summer, Jared Goff and what they're going to do 270 00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:56.920 at the quarterback position with signing him to the extension if we can all agree 271 00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:00.160 that it's going to happen and that it should happen. And then I started 272 00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:10.160 ranking the qbs yesterday and I got Mahomes, Burrow, Lamar, and Josh 273 00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:14.000 Allen one through four. I think there's the tier Mahomes and a tier by 274 00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:17.839 himself, and then Burrow, Jackson and Allen and their tier, and then 275 00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:22.240 this next tier, I got Jalalen Hurts and CJ. Stroud thinking those through, 276 00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:26.279 and I think there's much controversy. You're a Lions fan in here, 277 00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.359 an NFL fan, maybe you want to put somebody in there in this top 278 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.319 six. I don't know. I don't know how you can. But now 279 00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:41.640 you get to where it's a lot more subjective and how you're just feeling about 280 00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:47.279 it when you watch these qbs and when you watch these teams, and your 281 00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:52.839 fandom probably gets into it a little bit. And that's where Jordan Love comes 282 00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:55.799 in to play. The quarterback from the Packers. I ranked them at seven 283 00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:00.799 heading into this season, and I ask you, as a Lion fan, 284 00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:06.680 do you think that's an acceptable ranking. I get say Jared Goff as a 285 00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:11.599 better quarterback than Jordan Love. You can say that he's more proven golf, 286 00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.839 went to a Super Bowl, he went to the NFC Championship Game last year. 287 00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:22.480 We know that. That could be your argument. My argument could be 288 00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:32.079 that Love coming on as this first time starter and what we have seen from 289 00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:36.200 him and how he was improving, and what we saw from him in the 290 00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:40.319 second half of last season. Now, if I put the fan card into 291 00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:45.200 play a little bit here, I don't want to see Jordan love have success. 292 00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:51.680 The Green Bay Packers. I've been the bane of my existence since I've 293 00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:59.440 been alive, and certainly with Rogers and farm over the last twenty years. 294 00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:06.880 I was looking forward to the Packers going through it and searching for the quarterback. 295 00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.519 But it appears that they. You know, when I watched Love Man, 296 00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:15.920 okay, what's the hell of a lot? Like Aaron Rodgers, and 297 00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:22.559 he had a nice postseason, and with his age, that's where I would 298 00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:27.279 put him. I would put him in front of golf. And I say, 299 00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:30.680 it's not like I'm really down on Jared Goff. Jared Goff, if 300 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:37.039 you have and what he has, which is an excellent offensive line, maybe 301 00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:45.200 the best offensive line in the NFL. You have a weapons of plenty, 302 00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:52.400 Laporta, a Mono, Saint Brown, You're like, just look at it. 303 00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:57.240 He's got that and oh yeah, a quarterback's best friend next to the 304 00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.920 offensive line, a potent running game and it won two punts. I mean, 305 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:06.480 this is great, What a great situation. If you're Jared Goff, 306 00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.960 you're about to just get married, or he's getting ready to get married, 307 00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:19.680 he's about to sign another gigantic deal and he's just got the perfect situation all 308 00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:29.240 around him, and oh yeah, the fans love him. But I asked 309 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:33.960 myself, would I take these qbs in my own rankings over golf? And 310 00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:37.880 I would take love. And I also would take Justin Herbert from the Chargers. 311 00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:48.279 Stafford who was traded for Jared Goff now Jared Goff head to head beat 312 00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:56.319 Matt Stafford last year in the most entertaining to me, the greatest Lions playoff 313 00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:03.160 game that I've ever seen, and it closed the victory over the Cowboys back 314 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:08.599 in the nineties. And I'm not going back to fifty seven. That's before 315 00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:12.519 my time, but that was the greatest game. And this does it matter? 316 00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:21.440 They had the head a little bit, but I would still at thirty 317 00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:29.599 six a little bit of a nod to the veteran Matt Stafford. I have 318 00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:37.400 him ranked at nine and Trevor Lawrence now Trevor Lawrence has has he been a 319 00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:44.359 disappointment since being selected number one overall? It certainly doesn't have the success in 320 00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:52.599 the playoffs that golf has had. But would you make that trade if you 321 00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:56.039 could, if it all worked out, what would you actually make that deal? 322 00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:02.599 I think I would would make that deal. You might not like that. 323 00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:07.839 That's where that question comes in. Is this acceptable as a Lion's fan? 324 00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:14.920 If you're taking a look at it of putting Trevor Lawrence in front of 325 00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:19.000 Jared Goff, does that make you mad? I know this one I think 326 00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:23.079 can make you mad because I put I ended up putting Golf at twelve, 327 00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:30.720 and so I put Dak Prescott in front of him. Dak also, you 328 00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:36.720 know, he has not had the the moments in the postseason. I look 329 00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:38.680 at his play. I think he's just I mean, they're right there. 330 00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:48.079 I think Dak's just a little bit and a little bit more mobile as a 331 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:55.319 QB. I Prescott's a smidge better than Jared Goff, So I put him 332 00:31:55.319 --> 00:32:00.440 at twelve. That's how I I've ranked them. Now, I put Aaron 333 00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:07.559 Rodgers behind Jared Goff. And could you make an argument that Aaron Rodgers at 334 00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:15.880 forty years old coming off a and achilles, No, I don't. You 335 00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:22.960 could try to make that now. I would say that if the Jets they 336 00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:25.119 got into the season, this is you know, it's always a fluid situation. 337 00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:30.400 If I if Rogers comes out and plays the first few games and looks 338 00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:32.839 like he did just a couple of years ago when he went back to back 339 00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:37.200 MVPs. Well, you could say, yeah, but we're talking about right 340 00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:44.079 here and right now and how we're ranking them. So that's where I have 341 00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:50.400 the ranking. Is that acceptable to you? How do you see that? 342 00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:54.960 When it comes down to the Lions and just the quarterbacks around the league. 343 00:32:55.559 --> 00:33:01.200 It's eight six six eight three eight forty eight three on the Meyer Hotline eight 344 00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:07.880 sixty six eight three eight four eight four three. We have open topics and 345 00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:13.599 you can also text in Tech Sports Radio to twenty one thousand. You can 346 00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:17.519 get your thoughts in that way as we have it set up for you on 347 00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.000 the Lions, and coming up at eight oh one, we get back to 348 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:30.880 your fields with the Tigers as they bring the Astros in and they've got their 349 00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:43.440 their city connect jerseys and all that. All right. When I look at 350 00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:49.880 the NHL and NBA playoffs, I wanted to ask this question across the state 351 00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:59.400 of Michigan. You have Anthony Edwards emerging through these playoffs as not only a 352 00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:05.359 superstar, are but potentially the next face of the league. A little bit 353 00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:09.960 premature, but they're up to to oh two games away from the Western Finals. 354 00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:19.480 Obviously he is you put him into a great category, superstar category, 355 00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:25.239 and it just happens. You knew that. I mean, the guy was 356 00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:31.679 the number one overall pick and you saw his talent. But it's even blossomed, 357 00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:36.840 even quicker than I think most people expected. So he's sitting there. 358 00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:45.719 But my question is for the state of Michigan or Piston fans, and when 359 00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:54.559 it comes down to the great players over the last thirty years, it's no 360 00:34:54.840 --> 00:35:00.639 argument. You've you've probably heard this argument. Is it Jordan or Lebron that 361 00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:07.760 particular argument, but those are the two. But for Piston fans, out 362 00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:14.039 of any fans in all of basketball, certly fans in the NBA, the 363 00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:21.679 least amount of credit goes to Jordan and Lebron because you know you're a Pistons 364 00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:28.840 fan and those were your biggest rivals. The bad Boys had to hold off 365 00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:36.519 Jordan and Piston fans rightfully so were ticked off. Pistons were playing a brand 366 00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:44.039 of basketball of swarming, suffocating defense, one of the best defensive teams ever, 367 00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:50.360 and man, you go back where they won back to back. But 368 00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:57.000 you could easily talk about not throwing the ball away to Berg. You could 369 00:35:57.039 --> 00:36:01.239 easily talk about a phantom foul against Lamb, another trip to the finals, 370 00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:05.679 maybe another championship, he'd be talking about one of the greatest teams. But 371 00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:10.920 holding off Jordan after that, and Jordan used to you know, he he's 372 00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:15.039 just everyone in the league was just, you know, smitting, Oh my 373 00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:17.760 god, this guy's the most he's the greatest. He's defying and all of 374 00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:21.480 that, except Piston fans were like, yeah, he's getting these a cry 375 00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:27.519 baby, he gets too many calls. Uh. And you understand that a 376 00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:30.760 little bit of the same thing with Lebron James. Guys in high school, 377 00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:36.760 he's the chosen one. Of course, he goes to his hometown close enough 378 00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:43.000 to his hometown from Akron to the Calves, and you know he's and he 379 00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:46.440 takes off, wins the championships and we know the story. But the Pistons 380 00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:51.519 had to deal with him again, just like they did with Jordan. I 381 00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:59.400 remember being in the building. What was it. It was the Eastern Conference 382 00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:07.159 finals, and I mean the turning point when it came down to the going 383 00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:13.639 to Pistons, going to work Pistons. Lebron scores did he did? He 384 00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:20.639 score twenty five straight, twenty nine of the thirty points in the fourth quarter. 385 00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:23.000 Everybody, even you know, even you know you're sitting there with the 386 00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:25.880 Piston fans in the crowd, and everybody's just like, not you can do. 387 00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:32.760 You're throwing up your hands. But you still like Jordan, not giving 388 00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:38.960 him like the credit. But now you have Edwards. He's not you know, 389 00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:45.239 an already goes Georgia, so in go to school from around here, 390 00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:54.480 he goes out to the Western Conference. There's no history with the Timberwolves. 391 00:37:54.480 --> 00:38:04.239 Timberwolves have did really no history. You can go back when they were there. 392 00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:08.000 They had some success where they had KG, they had a year maybe. 393 00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:17.440 But the point is now you've got to fairly look at without having the 394 00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:22.599 rival stuff with with Lebron and with MJ and you can say, hey, 395 00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:30.880 here's this uh, this great player. And I'm asking you when it comes 396 00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:38.679 down to it, how are you looking at Edwards and the chance for him 397 00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:46.039 to take over, grab the torch and be this uh the next one? 398 00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:52.039 I think it's good do is for the NBA myself, Nothing against Doncic, 399 00:38:55.719 --> 00:39:01.599 nothing against anybody else, the big Dancing Bay in Denver, great player, 400 00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:14.639 two MVPs championships and everything else. But you just don't as a American sports 401 00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:21.280 fan, you just don't gravitate to those guys like you do. An American 402 00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:30.199 just say that's the way it is, that's where the popularity is. It's 403 00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:37.000 a little bit like show Hey, if Shotan was you know, Show Smith 404 00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:45.199 from Indiana, we might spend every show every day talking about how great this 405 00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:51.400 guy, and it gets brought up how great he is, but most people 406 00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:53.000 are like, Okay, it's great. It's a great pitcher, he's great 407 00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:58.360 hitter, greatest players. It's Babe Ruth. And then it's kind of it 408 00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:04.960 we're witnessing in baseball. But if he was an American born out of Indiana, 409 00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:08.599 we would I don't know, it would be it would be talked about 410 00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:15.920 and the popular it would be exponentially more. But that's what we're getting with 411 00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:19.719 with Edwards. Get your thoughts in on that one as well. At eight 412 00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:24.440 six six eight three, eight forty eight forty three, as we take you 413 00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:32.239 through and get you to the weekend here across the state of Michigan, I 414 00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:39.559 got to tell you that something happened yesterday for me that it's just it was 415 00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:49.239 pure joy. I've been dealing with this shoulder injury and I've been doing some 416 00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:52.440 stretching with it. A couple of weeks ago, I was back in the 417 00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:57.239 gym and I was just gonna shoot some baskets. Nobody was in there, 418 00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:00.480 and I fired up and it'd been a while since I had thrown up some 419 00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:07.559 jumpers and I and I threw one up and the pain in my shoulder was 420 00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:09.679 there. And it just couldn't have if somebody would have had a camera on 421 00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:14.079 me. The body language and it just saw me with my head down, 422 00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:17.119 you know, hunched over. Just a huge disappointment. Tried it again, 423 00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:22.000 like it just I could barely even get a shot up. Total disappointment. 424 00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:28.840 But then yesterday the same thing, and you know, the shoulders just deal 425 00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:32.480 with it, trying to work with it. I fired one up and I 426 00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:36.840 was like, oh my gosh, no pain, and I fired a other 427 00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:40.440 one. Fifteen minutes went by of me shooting and it was just pure joy. 428 00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:45.519 And the shot wasn't going in as much as I would like, But 429 00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:51.960 then anytime, and to fire it up there and watch it just go through 430 00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:57.639 the hoop, it was. It was great. So a very good feeling 431 00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:06.719 of pure joy of sports that happened with me yesterday. Now that's me getting 432 00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:12.840 into my feelings. I want to get your feeling the Tigers so far as 433 00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:17.320 they come home limp home after their their series against the Guardians.
