00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:09.919
<v Speaker 1>It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:27.039
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now, here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:33.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get it started. Our number two here

4
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.799
<v Speaker 2>on a Friday afternoon. It is also day two of

5
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.840
<v Speaker 2>the NFL Draft, and obviously there's a lot that goes

6
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:44.359
<v Speaker 2>into the first round. It's its own event, and it's awesome.

7
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Last night was awesome, and I really don't think that

8
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:51.880
<v Speaker 2>there was any real big stunner. I mean, I guess

9
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>shad Or Sanders not being taken, that's probably the biggest

10
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.000
<v Speaker 2>talking point as far as I guess the surprise in

11
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 2>the eyes of a lot of people, And I don't

12
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:02.880
<v Speaker 2>really think it's that that shocking. And it's not even

13
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 2>necessarily just about him. It's just that if shad Or

14
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Sanders was shoud Or Coffee, and you know, he was

15
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.359
<v Speaker 2>in the mix as one of the top five quarterbacks

16
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 2>in this draft, just because you know that alone. It

17
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:21.519
<v Speaker 2>wasn't anything to do with the Dion and the Colorados,

18
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:24.560
<v Speaker 2>because people act like that hurts him without any realization

19
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Speaker 2>that he wouldn't even get the hype that he gets

20
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.159
<v Speaker 2>and the attention that he gets if he wasn't Dion

21
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 2>Sanders' son, Like that's I mean, he also was the

22
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.439
<v Speaker 2>starting quarterback for a team just a year ago, not

23
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:36.200
<v Speaker 2>this past year, but the year before it was awful.

24
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 2>And most guys who you know, have an awful team

25
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.480
<v Speaker 2>and you're the guy leading at quarterback like that would

26
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.680
<v Speaker 2>be held against him. So what I'm getting at is,

27
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.280
<v Speaker 2>take away the Sanders component of it, the prime component

28
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.319
<v Speaker 2>with the way everybody views this as a pretty weak

29
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:55.280
<v Speaker 2>quarterback crop if it was, you know, any regardless of

30
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 2>who it is, the fact that there was just two

31
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.480
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks taken that more so speaks to you, is that, Yeah,

32
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 2>the NFL is telling us that all the noise around

33
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 2>this just being not a great group of quarterbacks in

34
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 2>this twenty twenty five draft, they agree, meaning you know

35
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.759
<v Speaker 2>the NFL. So I think early on, I mean, I guess,

36
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 2>I guess maybe you know, it was a big shocker

37
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.879
<v Speaker 2>to see that the Jaguars traded up to get Travis Hunter.

38
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 2>And I give them credit for making a big move

39
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 2>because what do they have to lose? Oh, they get

40
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 2>it wrong, and maybe they continue to be irrelevant. They've

41
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 2>been irrelevant for ninety eight percent of their existence. It

42
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 2>seems like maybe that's an exaggeration. But like the Jaguars

43
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:37.919
<v Speaker 2>took a chance, they gave up a lot of future picks,

44
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.639
<v Speaker 2>but they also did it for a guy that Yes,

45
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.759
<v Speaker 2>there's still clearly some concern. Okay, he's a super gifted,

46
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 2>talented guy that is just special in that regard, just

47
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 2>some god given ability that a lot of people don't have.

48
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>And he's good at playing both the defensive back and receiver.

49
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 2>But maybe he's not elited either, Like if that's the concern,

50
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think the Jaguars have shown us that

51
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.319
<v Speaker 2>they believe in his ability and really the way he

52
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 2>carries himself, the way he I mean, I've been really

53
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 2>impressed with him.

54
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 3>I think he's a really likable guy.

55
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's saying something because I don't think

56
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Colorado in any way is really likable.

57
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 3>And not to say they don't have fans.

58
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>And yes, I've admitted I'm a hater, but let's not

59
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:20.080
<v Speaker 2>act like when Dion Sanders was losing games by you know,

60
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 2>three touchdowns. Even if he didn't say it out loud,

61
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.039
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of people enjoyed it because it's

62
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 2>just human nature. Somebody that is so arrogant that talks

63
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.080
<v Speaker 2>and is so cocky without really any results as a

64
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.840
<v Speaker 2>coach to show for it. Like when they whenever they,

65
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:36.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, get humbled, you feel like, okay, yeah, you

66
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.479
<v Speaker 2>deserve that. Now. I don't think it's possible to humble

67
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 2>Dion or shit or I just don't know if that's

68
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's something that could be done. Although

69
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 2>I will say I thought the video that Chad or

70
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 2>posted or the video that was that was that was

71
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>out there from him talking after his draft party where

72
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:52.919
<v Speaker 2>he didn't get taken. I mean I thought he handled

73
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 2>it about as good as you as good as you can. So,

74
00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, with all that said, Dion coaches as if

75
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 2>his accomplishments as a player, his accomplishments as a hype man,

76
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 2>his accomplishments as an entertainer, like he happens to think

77
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:13.280
<v Speaker 2>that that warrants him, like to be put up on

78
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.080
<v Speaker 2>a pedestal as a coach when it has nothing to

79
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>do with it. I mean, I remember last year when

80
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 2>he acted as if somebody needed to be thrown in

81
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:20.600
<v Speaker 2>prison because they didn't rank him as one of the

82
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.600
<v Speaker 2>best coaches in the Big Twelve, whenever he'd only coached

83
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 2>one season of Division one football and he went three

84
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 2>and nine or four and eight whatever. It was like

85
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 2>he thinks that everything he's done as a player, which,

86
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:31.600
<v Speaker 2>by the way, he was special.

87
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 3>He's a gifted, gifted guy in a lot of ways.

88
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 2>Again, when I say hype man, I'm not that's not

89
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 2>an insults. I mean he's gifted at that, he's got

90
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 2>the juice. But as a coach, you know, he did

91
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:49.160
<v Speaker 2>take a big step forward this past year. But it'd

92
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 2>be easier to acknowledge that and really prop that up

93
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.759
<v Speaker 2>if it wasn't for the fact that Colorado Dion specifically,

94
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.079
<v Speaker 2>they carry themselves as if they've got six rings and

95
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.240
<v Speaker 2>got they got to put two of them on one

96
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.319
<v Speaker 2>finger because there's just there's not enough fingers, too many rings,

97
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.360
<v Speaker 2>because all they do was win, when in fact they don't.

98
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.439
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it was a sight to behold.

99
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Whenever they would get they'd beat down big time in

100
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.040
<v Speaker 2>some games, and they'd still be chesty and yapping at

101
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the other team. Is if they're not getting their brains

102
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 2>beat in like it, it's fascinating to me. So anyways,

103
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 2>that's probably the biggest talking point. Travis Hunter ended up

104
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 2>getting taken second and he was the Jags traded up

105
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 2>to get him, as well as only two quarterbacks being

106
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.240
<v Speaker 2>taken shit or not being one of them, and Jackson Dart.

107
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they looked like everybody was well aware that

108
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>the Giants I guess didn't you know even before the

109
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:50.399
<v Speaker 2>GM's teenage son leaked the pick on social media. It

110
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.920
<v Speaker 2>seemed as if there was enough buzz out there that

111
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 2>they were going to make that move and take Jackson

112
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Dart and they did exactly that.

113
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 3>So look, maybe they're wrong, but can you think.

114
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Of a quarterback Austin, but you felt like, man, that guy,

115
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know what people see, that guy's

116
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.160
<v Speaker 2>going to be a bust and it ends up really

117
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.639
<v Speaker 2>really working out. And you were wrong because to me,

118
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I really felt like Jayden Daniels was gonna be was

119
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.120
<v Speaker 2>going to be, you know, not a bust, but like

120
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:19.519
<v Speaker 2>I had no clue he was going to be as

121
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.319
<v Speaker 2>good as he was in his first year. Yeah, he

122
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.519
<v Speaker 2>had the best rookie quarterback season in my lifetime.

123
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:25.120
<v Speaker 4>I liked, uh, yeah he did.

124
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.839
<v Speaker 5>I liked that Jayden Daniels also felt what you felt

125
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 5>about Jay Daniels about bo Nicks, and he totally made

126
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.120
<v Speaker 5>me prove it wrong. But it feels like everything that

127
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.720
<v Speaker 5>I watched, or the only thing that I cared about watching,

128
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.000
<v Speaker 5>because I didn't watch Oregon a whole lot, was his

129
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 5>biggest thing is it's just a lot of under stuff,

130
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.360
<v Speaker 5>a lot of quick passes, get it out, under slants.

131
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.560
<v Speaker 5>Everything's quick. There's not like a whole like developing. It's

132
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:52.879
<v Speaker 5>not like the West Coast spread pro style offense that

133
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 5>they run at Oregon that translates to the NCAA.

134
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.480
<v Speaker 4>But no, I was wrong, Bo Nicks. Bo Nicks is

135
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 4>actually yeah, I like the Broncos this year.

136
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.920
<v Speaker 2>You know somebody else who I thought was just to me,

137
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.879
<v Speaker 2>They did kind of scream bust. And maybe it was

138
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:09.639
<v Speaker 2>more so just because it was harder to really get

139
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.360
<v Speaker 2>a feel for guys who were wrapping up their college

140
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.040
<v Speaker 2>career during the pandemic in that twenty twenty one season.

141
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.959
<v Speaker 2>But I thought for sure that who's the quarterback of

142
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:19.560
<v Speaker 2>the Chargers?

143
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:21.560
<v Speaker 4>Who justin Herbert?

144
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:22.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like I thought.

145
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:24.879
<v Speaker 2>First of all, I thought he screamed bust and he

146
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.439
<v Speaker 2>had a good start. But I think at times now

147
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:29.240
<v Speaker 2>people are realizing I'm not here in trust me.

148
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:30.959
<v Speaker 3>This isn't me saying that I'm here for that.

149
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying that I was right all along that

150
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:34.959
<v Speaker 2>he was a bust, but I do think the early

151
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:37.399
<v Speaker 2>love that he got maybe it was warranted. But like

152
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>I think people are now realizing that he's fine, but

153
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:41.120
<v Speaker 2>like he's not really special, you know what I mean.

154
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm here for all the Justin Herbert slander. I

155
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.199
<v Speaker 5>think he's a fine player too, but like everybody has

156
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.279
<v Speaker 5>always carved him out as if there's one guy that

157
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.920
<v Speaker 5>you can start your franchise over with, obviously it's it's

158
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.720
<v Speaker 5>my homes Burrow and then they just always throwing it's

159
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.800
<v Speaker 5>justin Herbert's always in that conversation, and like he's just

160
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.759
<v Speaker 5>like this elite molded after quarterback. And I think he's fine,

161
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:07.319
<v Speaker 5>but I just don't see him as God's gift like

162
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.360
<v Speaker 5>a lot of other NFL fans seem to.

163
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.399
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's talented, he can make plays, he has shown that,

164
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 2>but here we are many years into his career. He's

165
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.199
<v Speaker 2>still young, but I mean he's been in the league

166
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.480
<v Speaker 2>for at least four years now, and yet he hasn't

167
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.079
<v Speaker 2>really done anything, you know what I mean, Like nobody's

168
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:21.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's not like all the guys thinks, but

169
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:23.079
<v Speaker 2>like he hasn't really done anything, and he's had some

170
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.199
<v Speaker 2>games where they were big games, and he's not only

171
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.439
<v Speaker 2>not done anything, he's in fact played poorly, like in

172
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Benefactor in some of their losses. So you know, you

173
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:32.879
<v Speaker 2>never really know. I mean, I'm trying to think of

174
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:36.360
<v Speaker 2>guys who everybody thought, there's no scenario they're not really

175
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:39.639
<v Speaker 2>good as because here's what happens. We tend to by

176
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.080
<v Speaker 2>the time a lot of these guys, not all of them,

177
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Like when Joe Burrow went number one, the reality is

178
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:46.360
<v Speaker 2>none of us knew how it was going to work out,

179
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.399
<v Speaker 2>but he was. He was getting all the love right,

180
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.919
<v Speaker 2>and it's worked out. He's been phenomenal. But a lot

181
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 2>of the a lot of the quarterbacks that aren't in

182
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:55.000
<v Speaker 2>that position, like the Cam.

183
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Words or the or the Joe Burrows.

184
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, you end up getting to draft night and

185
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.480
<v Speaker 2>realize they've kind of been like broken down, like everybody

186
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.000
<v Speaker 2>they they've decided. You know, it's a roller coaster, right,

187
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:10.879
<v Speaker 2>you love them, then we don't like them, then you

188
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:12.919
<v Speaker 2>love them again, and then yeah, I don't know, I

189
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:14.039
<v Speaker 2>don't know if I'd have taken it in there.

190
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:15.600
<v Speaker 3>So like, you never really know.

191
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.480
<v Speaker 2>But one thing that is evident is that NFL teams

192
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:21.720
<v Speaker 2>cannot help themselves in most instances as far as just knowing, hey,

193
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.159
<v Speaker 2>that's a really important piece to your franchise, your quarterback,

194
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:30.360
<v Speaker 2>and you know you'll fall in love with a quarterback

195
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.639
<v Speaker 2>as a GM or really maybe just your front office

196
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:35.360
<v Speaker 2>in general, maybe even a head coach, because those guys

197
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.480
<v Speaker 2>clearly have some maybe maybe not all of them, but

198
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.720
<v Speaker 2>there's some coaches that have a level of influence on

199
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.120
<v Speaker 2>what's what's what's done when it comes to the draft.

200
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 2>But like, you fall in love because you want to

201
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:45.919
<v Speaker 2>fall in love, not because it's genuine, you know what

202
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Like, you know, it would be really nice

203
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>to have this man, I really love to have a companion,

204
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:53.919
<v Speaker 2>a girlfriend, somebody to kind of share my life with.

205
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.480
<v Speaker 2>And who knows, maybe we date for a while and

206
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:58.879
<v Speaker 2>we become, you know, pretty serious, and we have a

207
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>real life together in a family.

208
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:01.759
<v Speaker 3>Like that's that's the dream for people.

209
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:04.279
<v Speaker 2>But like, sometimes you get to the point where you

210
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:08.879
<v Speaker 2>just want that relationship in that situation so much that

211
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:12.399
<v Speaker 2>you that you don't even really focus on the individual.

212
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Are they the right one to do that with? Or

213
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 2>are you just saying, hey, you know, I'll I'll ignore

214
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:20.159
<v Speaker 2>or maybe be in denial about some potential flaws, some

215
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:23.159
<v Speaker 2>potential issues that we could have together. But I just

216
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:25.480
<v Speaker 2>want someone so bad that like, I'm going to force

217
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.840
<v Speaker 2>it to work. And that's what happens. I think with

218
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.799
<v Speaker 2>some of these NFL teams when they drafted quarterback and

219
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.159
<v Speaker 2>I just turned the NFL draft quarterback conversation into the

220
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Philshaw feel.

221
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Like, but you know, I think people, I think people

222
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:36.720
<v Speaker 3>get what I'm saying.

223
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:37.240
<v Speaker 4>You know what I mean?

224
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So the Vikings on fire?

225
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:40.759
<v Speaker 4>How do you?

226
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:42.159
<v Speaker 2>How do you? How do you evaluate what they did

227
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:42.679
<v Speaker 2>last night?

228
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:49.600
<v Speaker 5>They they got the guard from Ohio State. I liked

229
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 5>it at first, and I think I still liked it

230
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:54.840
<v Speaker 5>because they've fully have addressed everything that I've wanted to

231
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:56.759
<v Speaker 5>the last couple of years, and especially after watching the

232
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.759
<v Speaker 5>Super Bowl, like, beef up your offensive line, dude, I'm sorry.

233
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:02.799
<v Speaker 5>They took a lot from the Colts. They took Wolf

234
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:08.639
<v Speaker 5>Fries and Brian Brian, Brian Kelly, Ryan Kelly for me, Yeah,

235
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:11.559
<v Speaker 5>it works for me. Ryan, I'm pretty sure it's Ryan Kelly.

236
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.159
<v Speaker 5>But and they beafed up. They beat up their their

237
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:19.360
<v Speaker 5>interior offensive line. They already have two stud tackles with

238
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:21.919
<v Speaker 5>Brian O'Neil and Christian Darisol got hurt last year, but

239
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.480
<v Speaker 5>as regarded as one of the best left tackles in

240
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.519
<v Speaker 5>the country or in in the NFL. But also since

241
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.360
<v Speaker 5>they talked about it, New York trading back into the

242
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:34.679
<v Speaker 5>first round literally right after their pick, and they gave

243
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:37.559
<v Speaker 5>up a first round for next year's so that makes

244
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.320
<v Speaker 5>me think that that offer was possibly on the table

245
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:42.360
<v Speaker 5>for the Vikings and they don't have another pick till

246
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:45.279
<v Speaker 5>the third round. They're pretty low one picks this year,

247
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.000
<v Speaker 5>so I thought you could have probably snagged him in

248
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:51.240
<v Speaker 5>the second round. But also reports come out that they

249
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.720
<v Speaker 5>were possibly He also blocked for CJ. Stroud a couple

250
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:57.080
<v Speaker 5>of years ago, so they were possibly afraid that the

251
00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:59.360
<v Speaker 5>Texans could go up and snag him.

252
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:01.799
<v Speaker 4>But at the end of the day, I'm fine with it.

253
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:03.960
<v Speaker 5>Uh, It just it just would have been It just

254
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:05.600
<v Speaker 5>would have been one hell of a package if you

255
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:08.480
<v Speaker 5>would have just taken what the Giants have given you.

256
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think when you trade up to get somebody,

257
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:13.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look drafting, I mean, anytime you spend a

258
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.600
<v Speaker 2>first round pick on somebody, you you you love that

259
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.960
<v Speaker 2>guy because because you've got to believe I mean, yes,

260
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.840
<v Speaker 2>you're not settling in the hurst times, you're not settling

261
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:23.799
<v Speaker 2>in the first round, like you know in your mind

262
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.039
<v Speaker 2>this is now. Maybe you end up not getting the

263
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.080
<v Speaker 2>guy you thought you you thought you would get at

264
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:31.879
<v Speaker 2>that spot because somebody took him. But the NFL, I

265
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:36.120
<v Speaker 2>would imagine there's rarely a scenario to where you're having

266
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:38.759
<v Speaker 2>to make a pick and you realize every single player

267
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:41.120
<v Speaker 2>that you had in the mix at that spot is gone.

268
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:42.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess it could happen, but like you

269
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:44.840
<v Speaker 2>should always be prepared to know where you're going if

270
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.159
<v Speaker 2>this guy's not available, if that guy's not available. But

271
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.600
<v Speaker 2>there is something that if you trade up, it is it.

272
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:52.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean there's no hiding it. You you are you

273
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:54.519
<v Speaker 2>love that player, you know what I mean, Like if

274
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.720
<v Speaker 2>you are a and that it's an obvious thing. But man,

275
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:02.120
<v Speaker 2>I really was impressed with with with night hearing Travis Hunter.

276
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was the interview kind of led to it,

277
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:07.240
<v Speaker 2>so it wasn't like he went out of his way

278
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.519
<v Speaker 2>to do it. But he's done multiple interviews as you

279
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:12.279
<v Speaker 2>could expect since being drafted with the second pick. But

280
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:17.039
<v Speaker 2>he keeps emphasizing that that team traded up to get him,

281
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:18.919
<v Speaker 2>and again, it's a no brainer. If they trade up,

282
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.360
<v Speaker 2>that means they're not going to risk you falling or

283
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:23.720
<v Speaker 2>not following them. They're not going to take that risk.

284
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they feel somewhat certain that you'll be there, but

285
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.039
<v Speaker 2>they're not going to take that chance because they want

286
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:29.559
<v Speaker 2>you so bad, they're going to give up other things

287
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:31.399
<v Speaker 2>to make sure they get it. But like he seems

288
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.159
<v Speaker 2>to really emphasize, like they didn't just want me, they

289
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.759
<v Speaker 2>traded up to get me, And again, like I just

290
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.679
<v Speaker 2>feel like he's mature to where he understands, like, you know,

291
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:41.879
<v Speaker 2>any team would be lucky to have me. But also like, man,

292
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:43.840
<v Speaker 2>this team really showed me they wanted me. They weren't

293
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:47.120
<v Speaker 2>going to risk me slipping, you know, to wherever the

294
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:49.320
<v Speaker 2>DAGs were picking. I don't remember what it was. So,

295
00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:52.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, trading up again. For some reason last night,

296
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:55.279
<v Speaker 2>it really stood out to me that you know, there's

297
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:58.519
<v Speaker 2>no like, there's no scenario where you could try to

298
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.840
<v Speaker 2>sell anybody that you know you weren't totally all in on,

299
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.240
<v Speaker 2>said player. If you've given up things in the future

300
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:06.120
<v Speaker 2>just because you're not willing to risk them not being

301
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:08.679
<v Speaker 2>there when you were taking your you know, your original pick.

302
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:12.039
<v Speaker 4>I would say, also just because I'm a sucker.

303
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:16.000
<v Speaker 5>And this this just goes back to my compulsive need

304
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.159
<v Speaker 5>for wanting me to be like, see they're talking about

305
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.240
<v Speaker 5>my team. See they're talking about my team because I

306
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.759
<v Speaker 5>like that. Who's not a fanatic if you don't like

307
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:25.440
<v Speaker 5>when your team is a center of attention on TV

308
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:27.519
<v Speaker 5>and a crowdfull of other KANDA teams like, all right,

309
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:29.120
<v Speaker 5>let's go ahead and hype me up a little bit.

310
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:31.159
<v Speaker 5>And this goes back to the problem yesterday that we

311
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.759
<v Speaker 5>were talking about most of all of ESPN and sports.

312
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.600
<v Speaker 5>So like when you're watching on the ESPN feed last night,

313
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:40.759
<v Speaker 5>you're seeing that the Vikings make this pick, they're hardly not.

314
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.120
<v Speaker 4>Talking about them whatsoever. They don't even.

315
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:47.200
<v Speaker 5>Show the the the picture of Donovan Jackson at home

316
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.600
<v Speaker 5>like with his family and getting the pick or anything

317
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:51.879
<v Speaker 5>like that. The Packers were a pick right before, and

318
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.600
<v Speaker 5>they were doing like this what felt like a forever

319
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:57.320
<v Speaker 5>ceremony that was going on, So like the Vikings were

320
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.879
<v Speaker 5>shoved them between that and then once they got done.

321
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:02.559
<v Speaker 5>That's when here comes to New York Team Trader back

322
00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:04.480
<v Speaker 5>into the first round. Let's talk about that. We're not

323
00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.320
<v Speaker 5>even screw what the Vikings just did. So I'm like, oh, well,

324
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.039
<v Speaker 5>you know that kind of sucks because that's at the

325
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:10.759
<v Speaker 5>point where the four letter network is at when it

326
00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.200
<v Speaker 5>comes to that coverage, because they didn't break, they didn't

327
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:15.440
<v Speaker 5>give like the guy turning around and tossing the football

328
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.200
<v Speaker 5>up slowly while they have mel Kiper just rave over.

329
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:18.639
<v Speaker 4>What's going on?

330
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.120
<v Speaker 5>No, mel Kiper is still there at ESPN, right, I

331
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:23.320
<v Speaker 5>can't think so and so like while they have him

332
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:23.759
<v Speaker 5>rave over.

333
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, there were so many different types of coverage for

334
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:27.399
<v Speaker 2>the draft too, Like you had the ABC, which was

335
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:30.279
<v Speaker 2>like the emotional family component. Yes, you had the college

336
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:32.960
<v Speaker 2>football talking heads for ESPN their coverage of it. Then

337
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:35.440
<v Speaker 2>you had the NFL people. But have you ever once considered,

338
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.000
<v Speaker 2>man that the reason, Like, when's the last time there

339
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.679
<v Speaker 2>was a whole lot of attention leading up to the draft,

340
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:44.759
<v Speaker 2>during the draft, or even after the draft. When it

341
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:48.679
<v Speaker 2>comes to the Chiefs or the Eagles, they're good. Any

342
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:53.159
<v Speaker 2>draft pick they get that works out. Just an extra topic, right,

343
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Like the Vikings had a phenomenal year last year. Yeah,

344
00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:59.080
<v Speaker 2>the biggest storyline for them is that they let they

345
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.440
<v Speaker 2>let him, they let's Donald go and they and they're

346
00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:04.320
<v Speaker 2>now embracing the guy they took it quarterback, So you know,

347
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.120
<v Speaker 2>but outside of that, like it's a good thing if

348
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:08.679
<v Speaker 2>you're not being like you're if you're not interesting on

349
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:12.360
<v Speaker 2>draft night as a franchise had a good thing ninety

350
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.440
<v Speaker 2>nine percent of the time, it's because you're not desperate

351
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.759
<v Speaker 2>to get players out of college to fix your broken franchise. Yeah,

352
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:21.559
<v Speaker 2>you're already good. And the Vikings are in a great spot.

353
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:21.799
<v Speaker 3>Again.

354
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:23.120
<v Speaker 2>It kind of fell apart late and I know the

355
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.720
<v Speaker 2>ending of the season was pretty sour, but like they

356
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.639
<v Speaker 2>got it. They got some good components to where like

357
00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:31.039
<v Speaker 2>they should. Like it's another thing about McCarthy. He didn't

358
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Speaker 2>have to be great. I mean, hopefully he is for

359
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:35.279
<v Speaker 2>the sake of the Vikings and he can't be terrible,

360
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Like he can't be a huge liability. But man, they've

361
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.080
<v Speaker 2>got a good play caller, they got a good defense.

362
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:40.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they're they're in a good spot.

363
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, when when they lost to what well, first of all,

364
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:47.120
<v Speaker 5>when they lost they got absolutely blitzed by the Lions

365
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:49.399
<v Speaker 5>and they lost and had to go to the wild

366
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:52.200
<v Speaker 5>card to go play the Rams. The week right afterwards,

367
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:54.320
<v Speaker 5>and I don't think either of those two they just

368
00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:56.879
<v Speaker 5>blitzed and they took over that offensive line. Sam Donald

369
00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.919
<v Speaker 5>got sacked like thirteen times in like two different games. Again,

370
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.759
<v Speaker 5>they think he got sacked nine times in that Rams game.

371
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:05.119
<v Speaker 5>So the Vikings game plan just going in there just

372
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.440
<v Speaker 5>like we're going to make sure that this doesn't happen

373
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.039
<v Speaker 5>with our new quarterback that we have a lot of

374
00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:10.319
<v Speaker 5>faith and so I'm I'm.

375
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:13.079
<v Speaker 4>Happy with that. So we'll see, We'll see what they do.

376
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:15.920
<v Speaker 5>And uh, you know, I'm always fine with them wanting

377
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:17.240
<v Speaker 5>to protect their investment.

378
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Look, I I'll admit I've been so out on my

379
00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Colts really just with the just just just the the

380
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:26.839
<v Speaker 2>overall it. I Mean, there's just not good energy within

381
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.720
<v Speaker 2>that organization right now because you've got Ballard and Hearsay

382
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.119
<v Speaker 2>acting like everything's all right. We don't know what everybody's

383
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:36.119
<v Speaker 2>upset about. Pat McAfee, who I actually at times kind

384
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.960
<v Speaker 2>of think is a clown, but but he is somebody

385
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:40.720
<v Speaker 2>that was a part of the winning culture that the

386
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Colts had, and he's somebody that I don't think he

387
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.359
<v Speaker 2>was doing this for attention. I think he's seeing these

388
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.000
<v Speaker 2>guys carrying themselves as if they were a part of

389
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.319
<v Speaker 2>a you know, as if they have the results that

390
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Peyton and the gang had when any pactlets were good. Yeah,

391
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:55.000
<v Speaker 2>he cares about the Colts, no doubt. So like, and

392
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.279
<v Speaker 2>then you've got players with the Colts like wanting to

393
00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:00.799
<v Speaker 2>fight McAfee like he's you know, he's he's created drama whenever.

394
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.519
<v Speaker 2>All he's doing is like acknowledging that things aren't great,

395
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:06.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, so much so that your franchise quarterback. I

396
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:10.079
<v Speaker 2>can't say that without laughing. You know, he's pulling himself

397
00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:12.000
<v Speaker 2>out of games in the fourth quarter because he's tired,

398
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:13.599
<v Speaker 2>and then he tells the media that in the press

399
00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:16.680
<v Speaker 2>conference like that really happened. So anyways, last night, I'm

400
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:18.680
<v Speaker 2>fine with their pick. You know, I think they got

401
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:20.680
<v Speaker 2>a really good tight end and Tyler Warren, and I

402
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.640
<v Speaker 2>think tight in positions clearly valuable. But you know, I

403
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:26.160
<v Speaker 2>thought to myself, Okay, buddy, get ready to catch eight

404
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:27.880
<v Speaker 2>yard passes that are going to be thrown at you

405
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.880
<v Speaker 2>at five hundred miles an hour coming from Anthony Richardson

406
00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:34.400
<v Speaker 2>mister AR fifteen. But then I thought, okay, actually no,

407
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:37.160
<v Speaker 2>he'll probably not be our starting quarterback. It'll probably be

408
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:40.119
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Jones, who we paid too much money to get.

409
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we're a joke, and you know, I it'd

410
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:47.119
<v Speaker 2>be one thing if I could if I mean, they're

411
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:49.319
<v Speaker 2>in such a bad division, although I don't know, maybe

412
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:52.519
<v Speaker 2>maybe the division improves, but let's be real, like they

413
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.319
<v Speaker 2>they could be a terrible team and finish good enough

414
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:58.400
<v Speaker 2>in their division and their conference to where they will back.

415
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:00.440
<v Speaker 2>They'll be back in the same spot right picking at

416
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:04.599
<v Speaker 2>number thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and that'll leave them continuously in

417
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:07.720
<v Speaker 2>this same existence, which yeah, it could be worse. But

418
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:10.920
<v Speaker 2>sometimes to get to the top or at least make

419
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:13.599
<v Speaker 2>a big push to grow, you have to be bad.

420
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:16.759
<v Speaker 2>And they won't commit, and they are bad, but they

421
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:20.200
<v Speaker 2>won't commit to being bad enough. They won't embrace letting

422
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:21.839
<v Speaker 2>it just kind of fall apart so that they can

423
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.359
<v Speaker 2>they can regroup. They'll be in that range of like

424
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:29.160
<v Speaker 2>barely making the playoffs or barely missing it and looking around, like,

425
00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:31.960
<v Speaker 2>what's everybody upset about? We weren't the worst team in

426
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.599
<v Speaker 2>the league. And it's like they didn't even like Peyton

427
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Manning and even Andrew Luck for a while, like the

428
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Colts had some respect about them, and they're not the

429
00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:43.519
<v Speaker 2>like they want to live in a world where like, hey,

430
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:45.839
<v Speaker 2>we're not the worst team, everybody should be happy. Like no,

431
00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:49.400
<v Speaker 2>like not at all. But again, I don't nobody cares

432
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:49.880
<v Speaker 2>about the Colts.

433
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:50.480
<v Speaker 3>Let's take a break.

434
00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:53.200
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk on the other side about the quarterbacks that

435
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:56.240
<v Speaker 2>are gonna probably be taken tomorrow or you know, tonight

436
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:00.799
<v Speaker 2>and certainly tomorrow. But the latest mock draft, I like

437
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.599
<v Speaker 2>this spot for Tyler Shuck if this is where he

438
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.079
<v Speaker 2>ends up. And again, if this mock draft I'm looking

439
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:10.519
<v Speaker 2>at is accurate, I mean kid should or Sanders fall

440
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:15.599
<v Speaker 2>to the third day, I mean possibly, I mean again,

441
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:18.039
<v Speaker 2>I think just because of all the hype around him

442
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:20.880
<v Speaker 2>and all the just just just always being talked about,

443
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:22.799
<v Speaker 2>that would be viewed as like a real surprise, and

444
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure he'll be painted as a victim if that happens.

445
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:28.319
<v Speaker 2>But but you know, overall, I don't think it's that

446
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:33.920
<v Speaker 2>surprising because one take away all the prime aspect of it,

447
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:36.599
<v Speaker 2>as far as just you know, the TMZ world that

448
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:40.400
<v Speaker 2>those guys are in. Dion and his whole crew should

449
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:43.519
<v Speaker 2>or was good, but like nothing that would warrant like

450
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:46.160
<v Speaker 2>you got to take him in the top five. And

451
00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:49.599
<v Speaker 2>again this is you know, as much as I keep

452
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:51.640
<v Speaker 2>gassing up Tyler Shuck and talking about how he could

453
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:53.720
<v Speaker 2>really have a chance to, you know, make it work

454
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:56.119
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL long term, I'm also willing to acknowledge

455
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:57.720
<v Speaker 2>one of the reasons why he's been able to really

456
00:20:57.720 --> 00:20:59.400
<v Speaker 2>emerge as one of the top five quarterbacks in this

457
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:01.839
<v Speaker 2>draft is because, you know, no, no offense to him,

458
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:03.799
<v Speaker 2>but this quarterback class sucks. I mean, that's that's the

459
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:05.039
<v Speaker 2>way a lot of people view it, outside of.

460
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:05.720
<v Speaker 3>Maybe cam Ward.

461
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:09.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, wouldn't be shocker if like there's one or

462
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:11.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe no quarterbacks that in the long run, you feel

463
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:13.799
<v Speaker 2>like we're guys that could change a franchise.

464
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:15.519
<v Speaker 3>All right, quick break, keep it locked right here.

465
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:17.359
<v Speaker 2>It's coffee and company. Feel about Thordon's On Sports Talk

466
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:23.519
<v Speaker 2>seven ninety Austin and I are going to draft fast

467
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:27.240
<v Speaker 2>food items could be, you know, a burrito at Taco

468
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:32.440
<v Speaker 2>bell a sandwich hit Rby's, a burger at McDonald's, fries

469
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:35.440
<v Speaker 2>at you know wherever. So looking forward to that, just

470
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:38.160
<v Speaker 2>our own, our own draft. You know, we're not we're

471
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:42.400
<v Speaker 2>not qualified to be making decisions drafting NFL players. But

472
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:44.839
<v Speaker 2>I feel pretty confident in my ability to put together

473
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:48.359
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good five round class of a fast food items.

474
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:50.480
<v Speaker 2>So we'll do that coming up here again about five

475
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:52.079
<v Speaker 2>twenty five. But it is Coffee and Company, and we're

476
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:53.799
<v Speaker 2>feel about Thortons. Don't forget. You could take us with

477
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:55.799
<v Speaker 2>you wherever you go. Listen live on the out Radio app.

478
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:59.359
<v Speaker 2>Also listen live at seven ninety Louisville dot com. So

479
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:03.160
<v Speaker 2>the the quarterback crop here obviously two quarterbacks taken, as

480
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:06.200
<v Speaker 2>we've discussed, and I'd say it'd be a real stunter

481
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:09.720
<v Speaker 2>if the next three quarterbacks, in no particular order are

482
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:14.359
<v Speaker 2>Tyler shuck Shit or Sanders and Jalen Milrow. So there's

483
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:19.279
<v Speaker 2>really not any specific analyst that puts together mock drafts

484
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:22.079
<v Speaker 2>that I follow more than anybody else. So, you know,

485
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:25.119
<v Speaker 2>the NFL dot Com, NFL network, this is the latest

486
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:26.960
<v Speaker 2>that they have. This was put together just a couple

487
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:28.480
<v Speaker 2>hours before the show started today.

488
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:29.720
<v Speaker 3>So again maybe it's.

489
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Just purely guessing, but you know, maybe there's also some

490
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:36.160
<v Speaker 2>intel that they have at the NFL network. But when

491
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:38.920
<v Speaker 2>it comes to when it comes to QBS, the first

492
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.559
<v Speaker 2>quarterback taken tonight, according to this mock draft won't be Shuck,

493
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:45.160
<v Speaker 2>won't be Sanders, It will in fact be Jalen Milrow.

494
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:50.640
<v Speaker 2>And they have him going at let's see where's he going.

495
00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:52.599
<v Speaker 2>I just saw it up here. Yeah, they have him

496
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:55.359
<v Speaker 2>going number forty, which is early in the second round

497
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:56.720
<v Speaker 2>to the Saints. Can hear that down?

498
00:22:58.920 --> 00:22:59.799
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know it's still on.

499
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:00.720
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, that's all good.

500
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I never even know if anybody can hear it

501
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:06.000
<v Speaker 2>other than me. But here's the thing. If I wore

502
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:07.799
<v Speaker 2>if I wore the big cans on my ears like

503
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:09.720
<v Speaker 2>you do, and I didn't wear earbuds, I probably wouldn't

504
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:10.920
<v Speaker 2>hear the can because you don't.

505
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:12.000
<v Speaker 3>You don't hear it, right.

506
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:14.799
<v Speaker 4>No, I don't. I think it got fat fingered.

507
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:15.079
<v Speaker 3>That Yeah it's.

508
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:17.119
<v Speaker 4>The button.

509
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:17.680
<v Speaker 3>No, no, it was.

510
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:20.960
<v Speaker 2>It was really really low, and you know, I think

511
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:22.880
<v Speaker 2>you can feel like the knob is all the way

512
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:24.880
<v Speaker 2>down and it just again, it's a me thing more

513
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:26.480
<v Speaker 2>than anything. Most people would notice it. And again I'm

514
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:28.400
<v Speaker 2>not even sure it comes across the air. But because

515
00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:31.680
<v Speaker 2>trust me, there's a difference in wearing earbuds and wearing

516
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:34.839
<v Speaker 2>headphones like you know, and everybody's got their own preference.

517
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:38.400
<v Speaker 2>But for me, like any little any little Uh. You know,

518
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:40.559
<v Speaker 2>I'd rather something be louder in my ear than just

519
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:43.359
<v Speaker 2>that little that little because the little faint sound makes

520
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:45.279
<v Speaker 2>me feel like, you know, I just makes me think

521
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:47.960
<v Speaker 2>it's something else, experience that something, so I feel it.

522
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:49.640
<v Speaker 2>You always go with the cans.

523
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:51.799
<v Speaker 4>Right, always thought this is radio to me?

524
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I uh, And and trust me, I think I'm

525
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:57.880
<v Speaker 2>one of maybe like three people that just has always

526
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:01.039
<v Speaker 2>gone to earbuds if I can. Although John Alden started

527
00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:03.880
<v Speaker 2>doing it once we started working together, and then Venetti

528
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:05.839
<v Speaker 2>now does it. But I think it's because he's going deaf,

529
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Like he he wears these and he can turn the

530
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:12.799
<v Speaker 2>volume down lower and still you know, because I think

531
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:16.759
<v Speaker 2>if he'd continue to have it full blast with standard headphones,

532
00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I think at this stage in his career, he might

533
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:20.079
<v Speaker 2>he might not be able to hear anything.

534
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:21.039
<v Speaker 3>It might be fully deaf.

535
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:22.759
<v Speaker 5>There are some people that don't even use the headphones,

536
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:24.400
<v Speaker 5>like you ever see Gus do it. Gus doesn't even

537
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:26.920
<v Speaker 5>use headphones. Just how do you strictly off the board.

538
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know about that.

539
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:31.519
<v Speaker 4>I mean he's uh, he's a pro. Yeah, I mean

540
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:32.319
<v Speaker 4>he knows what he's doing.

541
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:34.039
<v Speaker 2>And that is one thing though that anybody who's never

542
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:38.160
<v Speaker 2>been live on the radio before or it always it

543
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:40.680
<v Speaker 2>always stood out to me that they're not used to

544
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:44.400
<v Speaker 2>hearing themselves in their own ear while they're talking. Clearly,

545
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.000
<v Speaker 2>when you're speaking and you you could hear yourself talking,

546
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's that's a no brainer. But whenever it's

547
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:52.160
<v Speaker 2>in your headphones while you're talking, it'll trip you up.

548
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:54.279
<v Speaker 2>If you're not used to it, you clearly get used

549
00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:57.559
<v Speaker 2>to it. But anyways, Milroe going fortieth to the to

550
00:24:57.599 --> 00:25:00.680
<v Speaker 2>the Saints, which would be looks like the I guess

551
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:03.519
<v Speaker 2>the seventh eighth pick tonight in the second round.

552
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:04.880
<v Speaker 3>And look, maybe I'm a hater.

553
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'm just thinking, like, you know, Shuck's way better

554
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:08.960
<v Speaker 2>than this guy, shucks way better than Sanders.

555
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:11.119
<v Speaker 3>But like, I don't even I don't think I've heard.

556
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.359
<v Speaker 2>Anybody talk about Milroe being like a guy worthy of

557
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:15.759
<v Speaker 2>an early pick in the draft. I mean, and by

558
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:17.599
<v Speaker 2>the way, second round is still an early pick. Let's

559
00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:22.079
<v Speaker 2>be real. So to me, this screams, I mean, this

560
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:25.519
<v Speaker 2>to me screams the desperation that teams have to find

561
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:29.079
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback. I mean, he's talented as far as just

562
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:33.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, a big arm, big athlete and he's you know,

563
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:36.400
<v Speaker 2>he's not bad, but I just I don't know. Like

564
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:39.720
<v Speaker 2>if he got drafted in the sixth round, I would

565
00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:41.640
<v Speaker 2>have thought, Okay, yeah, that makes sense, but again, what

566
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:44.519
<v Speaker 2>do I know? And then the next quarterback to be

567
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:48.039
<v Speaker 2>taken after Milrow, according to the NFL Network's latest mock draft,

568
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.000
<v Speaker 2>is in fact, the one and only Tyler Shuck and

569
00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:54.160
<v Speaker 2>they have him going to pick number fifty two to

570
00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:55.279
<v Speaker 2>the Seattle Seahawks.

571
00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:56.519
<v Speaker 3>I don't love the fact that.

572
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:58.519
<v Speaker 2>He would be in Seattle because I don't think that

573
00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:00.920
<v Speaker 2>their current coach, like I hear, here's the thing, I

574
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:02.480
<v Speaker 2>don't think the coach they have is going to be

575
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:05.799
<v Speaker 2>very good. I don't know that for certain, but you know,

576
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:08.160
<v Speaker 2>to me, he's one of those guys that just you know,

577
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:09.960
<v Speaker 2>was an analytics guy. And there's a lot of those

578
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:11.880
<v Speaker 2>guys that have been hired and they've been successful. But

579
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:13.519
<v Speaker 2>it just doesn't and I don't know, I could see

580
00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:15.720
<v Speaker 2>that not working out well, especially because they're trading all

581
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:18.079
<v Speaker 2>their pieces, right, Like they got rid of Tyler Lockett

582
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.319
<v Speaker 2>and who's the big giant they had a receiver, the

583
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:25.960
<v Speaker 2>special athlete. Yeah, he's now in Pittsburgh. So like if

584
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Shuck's there and they do throw him out there early, like,

585
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't really know what he's got to work with,

586
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:31.359
<v Speaker 2>but he is from the West coast. Maybe he'd be comfortable.

587
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:33.480
<v Speaker 2>But you know, Seattle's a team that did a lot

588
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:36.599
<v Speaker 2>of folks think might take a quarterback. And then as

589
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:39.279
<v Speaker 2>it looks here, I mean, I'm trying to see where

590
00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:40.920
<v Speaker 2>they even have Sanders going in this one, and look,

591
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:42.599
<v Speaker 2>they could be wrong. Maybe Sanders is the first guy

592
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:45.839
<v Speaker 2>taken the night. Who knows, but it looks as if, yeah,

593
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:50.599
<v Speaker 2>they've got him going. Well, here we go, third round.

594
00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:52.039
<v Speaker 2>Let's see if he's in the third round. They had

595
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:54.319
<v Speaker 2>they had it on I thought they had both rounds.

596
00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:54.640
<v Speaker 3>On the same page.

597
00:26:54.680 --> 00:26:55.039
<v Speaker 2>They did not.

598
00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:55.920
<v Speaker 3>But SHADOORA.

599
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:00.319
<v Speaker 2>Sanders is taken at pick number sixty seven by the

600
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:03.119
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland Browns. That's the fourth pick in the third round.

601
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:06.279
<v Speaker 2>And maybe maybe that's right. But I thought when I

602
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:09.319
<v Speaker 2>was listening to Rich Eisen and Kyle Brandt earlier, they

603
00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:13.599
<v Speaker 2>made a good point that if the Browns liked Shadoor Sanders,

604
00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:16.000
<v Speaker 2>they would have taken him like he would have been

605
00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:19.519
<v Speaker 2>off the board. Maybe this here, this scenario would tell

606
00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:22.240
<v Speaker 2>you that they liked him, but not enough. And then

607
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:24.599
<v Speaker 2>they thought, okay, yeah, we wouldn't take him in the

608
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:27.640
<v Speaker 2>first to the second, but we need a quarterback, and

609
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:30.920
<v Speaker 2>you know what, like we'll take him the third because

610
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:33.599
<v Speaker 2>that's a different And again, it is a different world

611
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.160
<v Speaker 2>when you invest a first round pick compared to a

612
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:37.839
<v Speaker 2>third round pick. I mean it's just you know, two

613
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:39.839
<v Speaker 2>picks apart. You only draft. You know, if it's a

614
00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:42.039
<v Speaker 2>standard draft with no trades, then you only have seven

615
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:45.200
<v Speaker 2>of them, but seven picks meeting. But yeah, I mean,

616
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:48.119
<v Speaker 2>let me ask you this when it comes to because

617
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:50.359
<v Speaker 2>I was watching the draft with some buddies last night

618
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:55.480
<v Speaker 2>and the they're Bengals fans, so clearly they view the Browns,

619
00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:58.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, as bums, which you know, for good reason.

620
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:00.160
<v Speaker 2>The Browns for the most part have always he has

621
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:05.400
<v Speaker 2>been bums. But their initial reaction when the trade took

622
00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:08.480
<v Speaker 2>place and Travis Hunter thought he was going to Cleveland

623
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:10.440
<v Speaker 2>and then realized he was going to Jacksonville, that like

624
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:13.079
<v Speaker 2>he got so lucky, like, oh, he's going to avoid

625
00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland and he gets to go to Jacksonville. And I'm

626
00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:20.920
<v Speaker 2>thinking Cleveland as a city is not great in like weather, right,

627
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:25.480
<v Speaker 2>but like Cleveland is a humongous market. Jacksonville, outside of

628
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Green Bay is the most obscure market in pro sports,

629
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:31.720
<v Speaker 2>especially the NFL. Yeah, because Jacksonville doesn't have any other

630
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:32.200
<v Speaker 2>pro team.

631
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:35.160
<v Speaker 4>It's I mean, they honestly don't even care about the Jaguars.

632
00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:37.960
<v Speaker 2>No, they've been around long enough to where, like you know,

633
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:40.240
<v Speaker 2>they're not new by any means. But if you really

634
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:42.640
<v Speaker 2>give it some thought, it is crazy that Jacksonville, Florida

635
00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:44.519
<v Speaker 2>has an NFL team. Like, he doesn't make any sense.

636
00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:47.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if they're worthy of NFL team, we are,

637
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:48.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and we don't need one. I mean, I'd

638
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:50.720
<v Speaker 2>love to have one, but like that's not some people

639
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:54.240
<v Speaker 2>are talking about. So I actually think Travis Hunter. To me,

640
00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:57.640
<v Speaker 2>there's a little bit of like Zion and Zion got

641
00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:00.720
<v Speaker 2>hurt a lot and hadn't played, so it didn't really

642
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:04.359
<v Speaker 2>like it didn't really regis like it doesn't really add

643
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:06.799
<v Speaker 2>up now. But I was devastated for Zion when he

644
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:10.240
<v Speaker 2>went to the Pelicans because that's just an irrelevant market

645
00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:13.039
<v Speaker 2>that like, you know, he'll bring them attention, but nobody

646
00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:15.640
<v Speaker 2>cares about the Pelicans. Nobody cares about Jaguars, right, Like,

647
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:17.480
<v Speaker 2>and you know he is from Florida and he'll be

648
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:19.960
<v Speaker 2>in his home state. But like, I actually think if

649
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:22.359
<v Speaker 2>you're somebody that cares about and this is why, like

650
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:24.839
<v Speaker 2>Tavis Hunter, I don't think he cares about what market

651
00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:27.119
<v Speaker 2>he's in. I think he wants to win. I think

652
00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:29.519
<v Speaker 2>he's a competitor. I think he wants to you know,

653
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:32.960
<v Speaker 2>win football games and be successful. But you know, this

654
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:35.680
<v Speaker 2>is a business, this is your job. And even though

655
00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:38.039
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland is viewed as like a dump, to quote joke

656
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:40.559
<v Speaker 2>Im Noah years ago in the NBA playoffs, I mean,

657
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:42.799
<v Speaker 2>who goes to Cleveland? Like you ever heard anybody say

658
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:45.680
<v Speaker 2>we're going to Cleveland for vacation. No, that was Jokim

659
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:47.119
<v Speaker 2>Noa when he was on the Bulls making fun of

660
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:47.440
<v Speaker 2>the Calves.

661
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:47.920
<v Speaker 3>And he's right.

662
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:50.599
<v Speaker 2>But Cleveland's a big market and they have a humongous

663
00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:52.279
<v Speaker 2>fan base that cares. Like, yeah, they can say what

664
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:55.039
<v Speaker 2>you want about the Browns. They have a massive fan base.

665
00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:57.839
<v Speaker 2>And I learned this about them when I was listening

666
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:01.079
<v Speaker 2>to whenever I would as you know, before I could

667
00:30:01.119 --> 00:30:02.079
<v Speaker 2>make this my job my.

668
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:04.440
<v Speaker 3>Career, I listened to a lot of sports radio across.

669
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:05.920
<v Speaker 2>The country just because you know, I was obsessed with

670
00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:07.799
<v Speaker 2>it and there was a show in Cleveland. I became

671
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:10.480
<v Speaker 2>a really big fan of and I learned that Cleveland fans,

672
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:14.440
<v Speaker 2>I guess, to deal with their existence and to maybe

673
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:17.559
<v Speaker 2>numb the pain. Nobody makes fun of themselves better than

674
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:20.079
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland fans, you know what I mean. So, like, you know,

675
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:21.279
<v Speaker 2>I kind of found them to be a little bit

676
00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:23.799
<v Speaker 2>endearing because yeah, I mean the Browns, like we all know,

677
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Like that alone tells you. I mean, they're the Browns,

678
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:28.680
<v Speaker 2>but you know they know that and they care and

679
00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:33.720
<v Speaker 2>they're passionate. Like I think Jacksonville could be good, and like,

680
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:35.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm not even sure it'll really matter a whole lot

681
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:38.000
<v Speaker 2>to that city. I mean, maybe that's an exaggeration because

682
00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:40.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, clearly they have fans, but like, I don't know, Like,

683
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:43.319
<v Speaker 2>he'll be fine if he's good, because if you're good,

684
00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:45.480
<v Speaker 2>you make plays and your team wins. That's all that matters.

685
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.200
<v Speaker 2>But I do think some players would have really looked

686
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:51.359
<v Speaker 2>at it. Really, their agent probably more than anything, would

687
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:54.200
<v Speaker 2>have been like, man the value because again think about

688
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:55.759
<v Speaker 2>like again.

689
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:56.799
<v Speaker 3>If he's good, it'll all work out.

690
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:02.279
<v Speaker 2>But Dak Prescott, do you know how much money he

691
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:06.880
<v Speaker 2>makes just because he's the quarterback for the freaking Dallas Cowboys.

692
00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:10.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm just kidding. He's not good. I mean, like he's

693
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:13.480
<v Speaker 2>not that good. He's fine, but like he clearly has

694
00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:16.799
<v Speaker 2>a big contract. But like the Cowboys are the biggest

695
00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:20.200
<v Speaker 2>brand in pro sports, maybe of any in America. So

696
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:22.440
<v Speaker 2>just because you're the quarterback of the Cowboys, you're gonna

697
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:25.000
<v Speaker 2>get endorsements, you're gonna be like, you're gonna be highly

698
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:29.880
<v Speaker 2>highly publicized. The ceiling as far as marketability in Jacksonville

699
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.039
<v Speaker 2>is just a lot lower. I mean, yeah, you can,

700
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:35.599
<v Speaker 2>you can get you you can be all over the billboards.

701
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:38.720
<v Speaker 2>You can have deals with with big businesses, big big

702
00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:42.319
<v Speaker 2>money people in Jacksonville, and you know it'll it'll, you know,

703
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:43.240
<v Speaker 2>you'll you'll make money.

704
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:45.960
<v Speaker 4>But like they're like GM like look like he's eighteen.

705
00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like let's say, like, let's just say, you know,

706
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:53.559
<v Speaker 2>the biggest endorsement, advertising partnership deals for the for the

707
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:57.039
<v Speaker 2>best player for the Cowboys compared to the same thing

708
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:00.119
<v Speaker 2>for somebody with the Jaguars. We're talking about living in

709
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:03.480
<v Speaker 2>vastly different neighborhoods. I mean, and again we're talking about

710
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:04.279
<v Speaker 2>one extreme.

711
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:04.440
<v Speaker 3>To the other.

712
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:08.359
<v Speaker 2>But like Jacksonville, they're just irrelevant. Like nobody thinks of

713
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Jacksonville ever. The Browns, you know, like they're they're they're

714
00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:16.480
<v Speaker 2>relevant to an extent just because of like they're the joke,

715
00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:19.680
<v Speaker 2>but like they also like you can just tell brown

716
00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:21.440
<v Speaker 2>there's a ton of Browns fans right like, and they

717
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:23.599
<v Speaker 2>care even though they're you know, Tom's They've been pretty

718
00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:26.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, they've been pretty sad about, you know, everything

719
00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:27.599
<v Speaker 2>for good reason.

720
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:29.759
<v Speaker 3>But like if I was, if I.

721
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Was Travis Hunter, I would you know, I'd like to

722
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:34.079
<v Speaker 2>think I would have the maturity to embrace wherever I'm going.

723
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna give it my all and hopefully we win

724
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:37.599
<v Speaker 2>and they'll all work out, because I believe in myself.

725
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:41.799
<v Speaker 2>But like I actually don't actually thought Cleveland, Like there's

726
00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:44.119
<v Speaker 2>an aspect of the Browns that if he went there,

727
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:46.880
<v Speaker 2>there would be a lot of attention because of the

728
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:49.200
<v Speaker 2>two things. Right Like, man, the Brown's got Travis Hunter.

729
00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:51.279
<v Speaker 2>Let's see how they screw this up because they got

730
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:55.599
<v Speaker 2>a special player. But the Jaguars, like the Jacks could

731
00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:58.799
<v Speaker 2>suck and he could be elite and everybody will say, well, yeah,

732
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:00.559
<v Speaker 2>what did you expect? It's the do you know what

733
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:04.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying? I do Uh I do Liam Cohen, I

734
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:09.640
<v Speaker 2>mean like that he's weird, that awkward, like serial killer type.

735
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:15.759
<v Speaker 2>So as soon as they traded up, like everybody's sharing

736
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:17.839
<v Speaker 2>that video, and it reminded me how like I wanted

737
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:20.119
<v Speaker 2>to go crawl in a corner and cry, like that's

738
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:25.039
<v Speaker 2>it's a painful, awkward, self like secondhand embarrassment thing, right.

739
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:29.880
<v Speaker 4>Everyone from the coach him or Liam Cohen, the coach.

740
00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:32.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh, the GM, and the g GM's in second grade.

741
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:35.559
<v Speaker 5>He's he's like thirty years old. He's just he's like

742
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:37.160
<v Speaker 5>a couple of years older than the guy that they

743
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:40.400
<v Speaker 5>just drafted. And they're ran by well they're ran by

744
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:41.720
<v Speaker 5>Tony Kahan's dad.

745
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:43.880
<v Speaker 2>So and by the way that the spars money. Tony

746
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:45.599
<v Speaker 2>CON's got enough money to where maybe they'll all work out.

747
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:47.759
<v Speaker 2>But Javis, right, have you seen their boat? Dude?

748
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:48.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh dude, he's loaded.

749
00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:51.359
<v Speaker 2>But but anyways, like if you look at it again,

750
00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:54.279
<v Speaker 2>you shouldn't let looks tell the story, but like look

751
00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:56.279
<v Speaker 2>at the young GM who looks like he's still in

752
00:33:56.359 --> 00:33:58.839
<v Speaker 2>high school. And then you just just show the clip

753
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:02.079
<v Speaker 2>of of In doing the duval chant or the du

754
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:04.720
<v Speaker 2>duvall saying, and you would just say, like Yeah, there's

755
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:05.519
<v Speaker 2>no way this.

756
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:06.279
<v Speaker 3>Is gonna work out.

757
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:08.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean we could be wrong, like it looks for you,

758
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:10.239
<v Speaker 2>but still like I don't know the Jags or you

759

<v Speaker 2>there's many that have already started their weekend. There's some

770

<v Speaker 2>that'll get it started here soon. And you know, I

771
00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:45.039
<v Speaker 2>take I take pride in that being able to you know,

<v Speaker 2>for those of you that do choin the dude, join

774
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:52.199
<v Speaker 2>that is Coffee and Company. If we're getting into the weekend.

775
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:54.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's not something I take lightly. That's something

776
00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:57.079
<v Speaker 2>that's a that's a big responsibilities and not austin. I mean,

777
00:34:57.119 --> 00:34:58.719
<v Speaker 2>we've got a duty to get them off to a

778
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:00.000
<v Speaker 2>good start, to get the weekend going.

779
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:02.039
<v Speaker 4>We want to get them in everywhere, but the weekend's

780
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:02.920
<v Speaker 4>more important, no.

781
00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Doubt about it.

782
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:04.039
<v Speaker 4>Most important.

783
00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:06.199
<v Speaker 2>And we've had some pretty crappy weather the last couple

784
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:09.280
<v Speaker 2>of days, but I do believe tomorrow is expected to

785
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:11.960
<v Speaker 2>be uh pretty perfect. Actually, I mean, you never know

786
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:13.440
<v Speaker 2>what to expect. Last week, I believe we thought we

787
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:14.960
<v Speaker 2>were going to get a lot of rain. Yeah, and

788
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:17.320
<v Speaker 2>it and it worked out well. So maybe maybe we're

789
00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:20.000
<v Speaker 2>we're due for some some sloppy weekend weather. But with

790
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:23.039
<v Speaker 2>all that said, I would I would sacrifice some wet

791
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:25.239
<v Speaker 2>weather this weekend if it means we don't get wet

792
00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:25.639
<v Speaker 2>on Derby.

793
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:26.800
<v Speaker 4>That's what I was about to ask. Do we know

794
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:29.480
<v Speaker 4>the seven day forecast? Shit? Usually they're on it by now.

795
00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, let me ask you this. I just

796
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:34.760
<v Speaker 2>it's not because I'm pessimistic by nature. I mean I

797
00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:36.639
<v Speaker 2>am at times, although I'm getting better at that.

798
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:39.239
<v Speaker 4>I just don't know. It makes me very cynical towards

799
00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:39.559
<v Speaker 4>the weather.

800
00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:43.480
<v Speaker 2>But I actually just now expect that we're going to

801
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:46.639
<v Speaker 2>not get good weather on Derby. And I don't I

802
00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:50.480
<v Speaker 2>can't tell if that's my processing it so I can

803
00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:53.880
<v Speaker 2>prepare for the worst hope for the best, because I

804
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:55.320
<v Speaker 2>do think that's a good way to approach a lot

805
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:57.119
<v Speaker 2>of things. It helps you, it'll help you, you know,

806
00:35:57.159 --> 00:36:00.119
<v Speaker 2>avoid being super let down. And it also you know,

807
00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:03.000
<v Speaker 2>it can make it even more excitingly if you get

808
00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:05.039
<v Speaker 2>good weather, if you've just been assuming it was going

809
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:06.480
<v Speaker 2>to be terrible, then it'll feel you know, it's that

810
00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:08.599
<v Speaker 2>unexpected joy of because that's what last week was, to

811
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:10.079
<v Speaker 2>be honest with me, I thought it was gonna rain

812
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:12.440
<v Speaker 2>all weekend and it was going to impact the Easter

813
00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:14.760
<v Speaker 2>egg hunts for Easter, and it was gonna impact my

814
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:17.199
<v Speaker 2>daughter's baseball game, and it worked out well. So yeah,

815
00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:19.800
<v Speaker 2>it looks like next next Saturday of next year, next

816
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Saturday we are expected to have. Right now, it says

817
00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:29.559
<v Speaker 2>seventy five degrees and mostly sunny with a twenty three

818
00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:34.039
<v Speaker 2>percent chance of rain, but during the day, mostly sunny, skies,

819
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:38.519
<v Speaker 2>high neer seventy five. Somebody, somebody spank me, I mean

820
00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:42.360
<v Speaker 2>that's I mean, could that get better? Seventy five and

821
00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:43.599
<v Speaker 2>mostly sunny, and it.

822
00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:46.519
<v Speaker 5>Looks like it's literally gonna rain almost every day lead.

823
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:49.119
<v Speaker 3>And that's fine. Like again, Yeah, we'll sacrifice, is it?

824
00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:50.639
<v Speaker 2>Like? I know a lot of people go out to

825
00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:53.679
<v Speaker 2>the track and you know they find their day. I mean,

826
00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:55.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm still a big Oaks guy.

827
00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:57.519
<v Speaker 5>I haven't been to Oaks yet. That's the one I

828
00:36:57.599 --> 00:36:59.639
<v Speaker 5>haven't been to. Well, I'm going to five oh Tuesday

829
00:36:59.679 --> 00:36:59.960
<v Speaker 5>this year.

830
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:01.920
<v Speaker 2>So a lot of people say that Oaks, you know,

831
00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:03.920
<v Speaker 2>used to be the day for locals, and I'm sure

832
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:06.639
<v Speaker 2>it was. But even from from my earliest time thinking

833
00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:08.960
<v Speaker 2>of Oaks, when I would go because that's our day,

834
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:11.159
<v Speaker 2>like usually, I mean for years I've gone to Oaks

835
00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:14.280
<v Speaker 2>with my fan, with my wife and you know, we

836
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:17.159
<v Speaker 2>don't ever I mean, I work Derby, but she doesn't

837
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:18.920
<v Speaker 2>go to Derby. She's got Derby parties and I usually

838
00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:20.719
<v Speaker 2>end up joining her there. But Oaks has kind of

839
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:22.679
<v Speaker 2>been our day. But I feel like even since we've

840
00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:25.119
<v Speaker 2>been doing that well over ten years, I've just known that, yeah,

841
00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:26.599
<v Speaker 2>it's not going to be a super local day and

842
00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:28.559
<v Speaker 2>it's going to basically be just a light version of

843
00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Derby because it's still pretty crowded. And then you know,

844
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:35.119
<v Speaker 2>you had Therby, but now Therby apparently has become too

845
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:38.360
<v Speaker 2>corporate and to you know, to like does Louisville still

846
00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:40.960
<v Speaker 2>have a day they do five oh Tuesday, which I

847
00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:43.559
<v Speaker 2>think like a lot of folks are like now embracing

848
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:46.119
<v Speaker 2>that is the locals day. But if you really think

849
00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:51.480
<v Speaker 2>about it, I mean Tuesday on it's especially if there's

850
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:54.920
<v Speaker 2>good weather, it's really crowded and you may not realize it,

851
00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:57.800
<v Speaker 2>but there's people there all throughout the week that are

852
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.320
<v Speaker 2>that are not local because that's what that's what Churchill

853
00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Downs during Derby Week does. That's one of the things

854
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:04.920
<v Speaker 2>that I really I just felt dumb, and I feel

855
00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:07.400
<v Speaker 2>dumb a lot in life. You know, I have moments

856
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:10.400
<v Speaker 2>where I'm like, man, you really are a real special dumbass.

857
00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:12.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's not like, you know, not a daily thing,

858
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:14.239
<v Speaker 2>but trust me, I've had moments and this is one

859
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:16.840
<v Speaker 2>of those moments. Whenever I started doing the annual interviews

860
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:19.960
<v Speaker 2>at Churchill Downs, talking to folks you know that are

861
00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:22.719
<v Speaker 2>there and bringing interviews back and being a part of

862
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:25.320
<v Speaker 2>the Derby coverage that we have on eight forty whas

863
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:27.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'd say like nine out of ten people

864
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:30.400
<v Speaker 2>that I talked to are not only not local, they're

865
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:33.119
<v Speaker 2>not from anywhere around here. And I think just because

866
00:38:33.199 --> 00:38:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Churchill Downs has always been here.

867
00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:36.119
<v Speaker 3>It's home for us.

868
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:38.320
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of times when I would go to

869
00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Churchill Downs, you know as a kid, it wouldn't be

870
00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:43.440
<v Speaker 2>during Derby. It would be just you know, one of

871
00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:45.159
<v Speaker 2>the one of the days of the races. Like we

872
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:47.519
<v Speaker 2>still go, Like we love going a lot when it's

873
00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:50.239
<v Speaker 2>like it's just the fall meat or you know whatever,

874
00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Like Derby's great, everything that comes with it, it's awesome,

875
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:55.679
<v Speaker 2>but I actually enjoy going when it's not a big

876
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:57.800
<v Speaker 2>event and there's just not as much people and you know,

877
00:38:57.840 --> 00:38:59.159
<v Speaker 2>for me, I can take you know, my son is

878
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:01.199
<v Speaker 2>obsessed with horse rays, so like he gets a little

879
00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:04.199
<v Speaker 2>more access and he gets closer to stuff. So, you know,

880
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:06.480
<v Speaker 2>just because it's ours and it's been here forever. I

881
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:08.519
<v Speaker 2>never really had the awareness that when you look at

882
00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:11.159
<v Speaker 2>Churchill Downs on Derby Week, especially Oaks and Derby, the

883
00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:12.840
<v Speaker 2>vast majority of the folks that are there are not

884
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:14.960
<v Speaker 2>from here. They're there just because of that and that's special.

885
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Like we haven't and again I've known, I don't think

886
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:18.800
<v Speaker 2>you can be from here and not know how big

887
00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:21.599
<v Speaker 2>the Derby is. But whenever it just you kind of

888
00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:23.280
<v Speaker 2>get used to it and it's just you know, like,

889
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:24.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't see we take it for granted. I think

890
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:26.719
<v Speaker 2>we know it's special, but man, I mean we're talking.

891
00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:28.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean I remember I went three straight interviews a

892
00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:32.440
<v Speaker 2>few years ago, somebody from Amsterdam, somebody from Canada, somebody

893
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:35.360
<v Speaker 2>from Puerto Rico, and like two of them so coo.

894
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Like two of them they this was like the fifth

895
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:39.639
<v Speaker 2>or sixth time they'd come. Yeah, the others it was

896
00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:42.239
<v Speaker 2>the first time and we weren't even having good weather,

897
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:44.000
<v Speaker 2>and these people were like, this is so cool, and

898
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:46.800
<v Speaker 2>it just made me, you know, it made me appreciate that. Like,

899
00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:49.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't have any ownership of the Derby

900
00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:51.519
<v Speaker 2>or anything like that, but we do have, like, you know,

901
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:53.400
<v Speaker 2>we do have something that's pretty cool. I mean, the

902
00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Derby is one of the biggest events in sports every year,

903
00:39:57.480 --> 00:40:01.119
<v Speaker 2>and there is there's a moment where for two minutes,

904
00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:05.480
<v Speaker 2>there's there's an insane amount of people watching that watching

905
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:08.079
<v Speaker 2>a horse race that is taking place right here in

906
00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:10.440
<v Speaker 2>our in our city, and it's it's pretty cool.

907
00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:12.079
<v Speaker 4>I love the Derby. White.

908
00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:13.679
<v Speaker 5>When I first got here, I said the same thing

909
00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:16.679
<v Speaker 5>about Thunder too. I just kind of didn't get it,

910
00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:18.519
<v Speaker 5>and then I kind of got boogie on it. I

911
00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:20.920
<v Speaker 5>got with the w I I got with the the

912
00:40:20.920 --> 00:40:22.840
<v Speaker 5>big wigs tags, and I've got to go down there

913
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:23.360
<v Speaker 5>and cover it.

914
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:25.719
<v Speaker 4>And it is awesome. Yeah, I love being out there.

915
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:29.480
<v Speaker 5>It's I love dressing up, smoking a cigar with some

916
00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:32.360
<v Speaker 5>big wigs from all over the place where you say

917
00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:34.559
<v Speaker 5>Anstram someone from Atlanta.

918
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:35.400
<v Speaker 4>It's awesome.

919
00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:38.360
<v Speaker 2>The energy in this city during Derby season, not just

920
00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Derby Day or even Derby Week. It's it's special. But

921
00:40:41.079 --> 00:40:43.800
<v Speaker 2>I just kind of feel like we didn't. It snuck

922
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:44.920
<v Speaker 2>up on us this year. And I know a lot

923
00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:46.840
<v Speaker 2>of people keep saying, oh, it's because thunder over Louisville

924
00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:49.719
<v Speaker 2>was was boat was canceled, and maybe that was a factor.

925
00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:52.119
<v Speaker 2>But again I've said this and this is just me,

926
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Like I've never once looked, Okay, here we go thunders here.

927
00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:56.719
<v Speaker 2>Let's cause I've never I mean, I know that it's

928
00:40:56.719 --> 00:40:58.519
<v Speaker 2>a part of the Kentucky Derby Festival events, but like

929
00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I never even I never even the connection that like

930
00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:03.400
<v Speaker 2>we have thunder because of Derby, like you think it's.

931
00:41:03.320 --> 00:41:05.800
<v Speaker 5>Also because of weather related Usually we're kind of in

932
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:08.199
<v Speaker 5>springtime and like, all right, it's starting to feel like

933
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:10.800
<v Speaker 5>it's Derby time. But leading up to it was literally

934
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:14.119
<v Speaker 5>a hurricane and we're doing and it's early May. Yes,

935
00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:16.440
<v Speaker 5>you know what I mean, like it's it's Easter was

936
00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:18.480
<v Speaker 5>so late too. I think that had a lot to

937
00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:19.079
<v Speaker 5>do with it.

938
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:22.480
<v Speaker 2>And I kind of feel like we've mean, what was it?

939
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Was it the Christmas season? We got robbed of like

940
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:27.519
<v Speaker 2>a week of it just because of the way Thanksgiving

941
00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:30.559
<v Speaker 2>fell or something like, Yes, there was, there was something

942
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:31.960
<v Speaker 2>that we talked about on the show.

943
00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:33.519
<v Speaker 4>Because we still had to come in Wednesday.

944
00:41:33.639 --> 00:41:36.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we didn't have we didn't have as much time

945
00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:38.280
<v Speaker 2>leading up to. I don't know what it's gonna Oh yeah, no,

946
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:41.960
<v Speaker 2>it was. It was Thanksgiving, so Thanksgiving was later than

947
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:45.440
<v Speaker 2>it usually is, I believe, which meant once you once

948
00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:47.400
<v Speaker 2>you turned the page from Thanksgiving, like we were a

949
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:50.000
<v Speaker 2>lot closer to Christmas than we typically are because because

950
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:52.800
<v Speaker 2>obviously Thanksgivings not on the same day. Thanksgivings on the

951
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:55.039
<v Speaker 2>same day. It's just that Thursday. Yeah, so all right,

952
00:41:55.079 --> 00:41:56.320
<v Speaker 2>we got to get to a break. I'm sorry for

953
00:41:56.360 --> 00:41:58.320
<v Speaker 2>taking so long, but we've got our draft coming up

954
00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:00.519
<v Speaker 2>here before too long, and of course we'll reset some

955
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:02.159
<v Speaker 2>things and get you set for a round two and

956
00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:05.239
<v Speaker 2>Round three Friday. You know, it's not the first round,

957
00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:07.079
<v Speaker 2>which of course gets most the attention. But I feel

958
00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:09.480
<v Speaker 2>like Friday is a sneak Friday Night of the NFL drafts,

959
00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:13.119
<v Speaker 2>a sneaky undervalued sports day on the calendar. So looking

960
00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:15.320
<v Speaker 2>forward to it this evening, So stick around, don't go anywhere.

961
00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:17.320
<v Speaker 2>It's coffee and company. Feel about Thornton's on Sports Talk

962
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:17.920
<v Speaker 2>seven ninety
