Final Four Face-Off, Cooper Flags Place in Duke History, LeBron vs Steph

Final Four Face-Off, Cooper Flags Place in Duke History, LeBron vs Steph

Cooper Flagg's place in Duke basketball history hangs in the balance as the Blue Devils march toward a potential championship. Could he already rank as the third greatest Duke player ever with just one title? The Pick'em Pros debate his legacy against icons like Grant Hill and Christian Laettner while considering how his future NBA career might retroactively elevate his college standing – much like Michael Jordan's Carolina legacy grew exponentially after his NBA dominance.

This year's NCAA Tournament presents a fascinating anomaly with all four #1 seeds reaching the men's Final Four. Has NIL money fundamentally changed March Madness by eliminating Cinderella stories? Mid-major programs face unprecedented challenges when veteran players who show promise can simply transfer to powerhouse programs for life-changing money. Meanwhile, the women's tournament features incredible star power with Paige Bueckers' UConn standing as the only non-#1 seed across both Final Fours yet possibly the most feared team remaining.

NBA conversations heat up around the brewing Lakers-Warriors 4-5 seed first-round matchup. The Warriors' recent victory at Crypto.com Arena – complete with Steph Curry receiving MVP chants in LeBron's house – signals serious trouble for a Lakers team struggling with late-game execution. Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons have recaptured their Bad Boys identity, presenting as perhaps the most compelling storyline in the NBA today.

NFL draft talk centers on the Carolina Panthers' critical decision with the #8 pick – should they prioritize a playmaking receiver like Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan or strengthen their defense? The quarterback carousel continues spinning with Aaron Rodgers' future uncertain after the Jets surprisingly moved on despite their all-in approach just months ago. Could the Patriots emerge as playoff contenders after adding Stefon Diggs to support young quarterback Drake Maye?

• Cooper Flagg's place in Duke history compared to legends like Christian Laettner, Grant Hill, and JJ Redick
• All number one seeds in the Men's Final Four and the impact of NIL on mid-major schools' tournament chances
• Women's Final Four breakdown with South Carolina vs Texas and UConn vs UCLA matchups

• Detroit Pistons' resurgence with Bad Boys-style defensive identity under coach JB Bickerstaff
• Carolina Panthers' NFL Draft strategy with the 8th pick – receiver or defensive line priority
• Aaron Rodgers' uncertain future after being released by Jets despite their all-in approach
• Patriots' playoff potential after adding Stefon Diggs and strengthening their offense around Drake Maye

Okay, well, let's go ahead and get into it.

00:01:58.968 --> 00:02:00.527
We got a fire show today.

00:02:00.527 --> 00:02:03.346
We are going to talk about, of course, final Four, final four, right.

So we got the men's final four, women's final four.

00:02:05.941 --> 00:02:07.906
We're going to talk about cooper flag.

00:02:07.906 --> 00:02:11.264
Since you know we are here coming at you from cary, north carolina.

00:02:11.264 --> 00:02:18.145
We uh have to talk about cooper flag and duke his place in duke history if they win this championship.

00:02:18.145 --> 00:02:20.110
Where does he rank amongst the greats?

00:02:20.110 --> 00:02:21.052
We'll talk about that.

00:02:21.052 --> 00:02:22.764
Uh, we'll go into the nba.

00:02:22.764 --> 00:02:23.605
Oh man, we had.

00:02:23.605 --> 00:02:24.306
We had a.

00:02:24.306 --> 00:02:29.830
There was a game between the LA Lakers and the Golden State Warriors last night.

00:02:29.830 --> 00:02:31.645
Did you guys happen to see that game?

00:02:31.664 --> 00:02:32.227
I definitely did.

00:02:32.388 --> 00:02:32.709
I did.

00:02:33.539 --> 00:02:34.828
Yeah, it was a little rough.

00:02:35.602 --> 00:02:41.651
A little rough, ok, and anybody Laker fans or LeBron fans, ok, all right.

00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.477
I'm a LeBron fan, but fortunately there's a guy we traded for that decided to foul bait instead of passing the ball to the two guys that were hot on the team.

00:02:50.600 --> 00:02:56.730
So you know, we'll see how that one goes there's a guy named Anthony Davis who's playing well for the Mavericks right now.

00:02:57.603 --> 00:03:00.740
Yeah, he is he's playing very well.

00:03:00.740 --> 00:03:02.346
Too bad they don't have Kyrie.

00:03:02.346 --> 00:03:04.709
It would be very interesting they.

00:03:04.889 --> 00:03:08.844
They have a five-game win streak, I think, oh my goodness, yeah, they're heating up a little bit.

00:03:08.865 --> 00:03:09.407
Yeah, they are.

00:03:09.407 --> 00:03:13.948
It would be very interesting, but this should be in the play-in, so who knows what noise they make?

00:03:13.948 --> 00:03:15.812
That would be hilarious, kyrie Blackham.

00:03:18.201 --> 00:03:19.567
Yeah, let's not be too deep into it.

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:26.879
It.

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:27.883
Duke hospital is not that good.

00:03:27.883 --> 00:03:29.950
So we also will go into the NFL.

00:03:29.950 --> 00:03:31.586
We're excited about that.

00:03:31.586 --> 00:03:33.447
We'll talk about the Carolina Panthers.

00:03:33.447 --> 00:03:35.948
They are who they should take with the number eight pick.

00:03:35.948 --> 00:03:39.289
We will end the show with all of our NFL topics.

00:03:39.289 --> 00:03:48.991
You guys are both sporting the Panther theme Diego, army T, so check out the pick them proscom to get your latest Pick'em Pro merch.

00:03:48.991 --> 00:03:52.889
We got that representing the Panthers from our two Panther fans here.

00:03:52.889 --> 00:03:55.429
So y'all look good, rocking that, rocking that.

00:03:55.429 --> 00:03:58.546
We'll talk about Aaron Rodgers and a whole lot of other stuff.

00:03:58.546 --> 00:04:00.210
So super excited, all right.

00:04:00.210 --> 00:04:01.312
Well, let's get into it.

00:04:01.312 --> 00:04:03.521
Let's get into our first topic here.

00:04:03.521 --> 00:04:06.563
All right, cooper Flagg, get into it.

00:04:06.563 --> 00:04:07.844
Let's get into our first topic here.

00:04:07.844 --> 00:04:08.645
All right, cooper flag and Duke.

00:04:08.645 --> 00:04:11.167
So, fellas, where will Cooper fly?

00:04:11.167 --> 00:04:14.408
Let's go ahead and assume Duke wins the championship.

00:04:14.408 --> 00:04:17.411
All right, diego, duke wins the championship.

00:04:17.411 --> 00:04:19.572
Where do you put Cooper flag?

00:04:19.572 --> 00:04:21.053
Is it no brainer?

00:04:21.053 --> 00:04:23.995
Top five, just go ahead and take this one man.

00:04:24.355 --> 00:04:26.718
Obviously top five Duke players.

00:04:26.718 --> 00:04:31.742
If they win the championship he might be the best ever.

00:04:31.742 --> 00:04:42.336
It's hard to put him over guys like Grant Hill, christian Laettner and Bobby Hurley, because they're some of the main guys on a team with two championships.

00:04:42.336 --> 00:04:46.076
He's going to leave after this year, so he'd just have one.

00:04:46.076 --> 00:04:51.685
I'm going to say number three after Leitner and Grant Hill, but ahead of Bobby Hurley, if they win.

00:04:51.685 --> 00:05:03.310
Okay, if he becomes one of the top NBA players, face-to-face the league, that could get him higher, but just right after this year I'd have to put him at three.

00:05:04.701 --> 00:05:12.848
I would say it would be three as well, but it would be a 3A and 3B between him and JJ, because again what he meant to.

00:05:12.908 --> 00:05:17.829
Duke and also I'm not putting him over Grant Hill or Christian Leighton.

00:05:17.829 --> 00:05:20.468
I'm sorry, that's a little too much, a little too rich for my blood.

00:05:20.468 --> 00:05:33.302
You feel me, but again, what JJ did did as, again, one of the better players in the acc and again, with our reputation of having players who are a bit not liked is the most friendly word to say that.

00:05:33.302 --> 00:05:43.853
But yeah, I did love his rashness and how he played, so I would definitely say that would be how I rank it okay, okay, yeah, and brand, I did see your comment there about, uh, j williams.

00:05:43.872 --> 00:05:44.762
you can't forget him.

00:05:44.762 --> 00:05:57.086
J williams is one of the one of the greats, for sure, jj Redick, that was good for you to mention him, jay didn't win one, though, so I think that's that's what I'd say yeah, yeah, but then a lot.

00:05:57.166 --> 00:06:01.706
And you alluded to this, diego, what you do after Duke also says a lot.

00:06:01.706 --> 00:06:11.586
So if, if Cooper Flagg goes on to become the face of the NBA, that gives him a whole lot of credit coming back and that can then elevate.

00:06:11.586 --> 00:06:13.601
You know, hey, let's put okay.

00:06:13.601 --> 00:06:22.562
So let's put Coach K in this, all right, because, would you guys say, maybe silly question, would you say, coach K is number one just as far as aura legacy.

00:06:22.663 --> 00:06:23.483
Yes, Okay, that's for sure.

00:06:23.483 --> 00:06:24.365
Number one just as far as aura legacy?

00:06:24.384 --> 00:06:24.745
Yes, for sure.

00:06:24.745 --> 00:06:25.586
Okay, so Coach K is this?

00:06:25.586 --> 00:06:30.173
So maybe a better question might be all right, 10 years from now?

00:06:30.173 --> 00:06:37.362
Okay, I don't know Coach K.

00:06:37.362 --> 00:06:39.475
You know still, you know here and everything still has his aura.

00:06:39.475 --> 00:06:42.125
But Cooper Flagg is the face of the NBA, unquestioned face of the NBA.

00:06:42.125 --> 00:06:44.507
Who has the most aura on campus?

00:06:45.966 --> 00:06:49.600
On unquestioned face of the NBA who has the most aura on campus.

00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:51.562
It's still OK because for me.

00:06:51.562 --> 00:06:53.629
I'm always a lineage person Like it's the house that the place has been built.

00:06:53.689 --> 00:06:53.889
Yeah.

00:06:54.399 --> 00:07:00.853
So, as much as I love Cooper, coach K is the reason why, like Cooper, would even want to go to Duke and want to even play for the team.

00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:03.341
Yeah, that's what I would say OK so yeah, I'm sorry.

00:07:03.382 --> 00:07:05.266
Mike Chizanski is always going to be good money with me.

00:07:05.266 --> 00:07:06.088
I'm sorry, I agree.

00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.569
It will be closer than a lot of people would think, with him doing that.

00:07:13.569 --> 00:07:22.084
Actually, a lot of people from Duke of Cone's NBA have been bust Marvin Bagley and some other guys.

00:07:22.084 --> 00:07:29.545
Cooper, if he ends up becoming that guy, it will be very close, maybe even tied.

00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.303
Now, okay, you know what this just hit me.

00:07:33.303 --> 00:07:37.170
But this is where, again, my age and experience comes into play.

00:07:37.170 --> 00:07:39.264
It would be Cooper flagging.

00:07:39.264 --> 00:07:40.168
It wouldn't even be close.

00:07:40.168 --> 00:07:43.244
All right, I have a great example for you.

00:07:43.244 --> 00:07:47.225
Michael Jordan, okay, you, michael Jordan.

00:07:47.225 --> 00:07:58.879
Okay, when Michael Jordan left Carolina, he wasn't Michael Jordan, dean Smith was everything to Carolina and Dean Smith continued to have crazy org.

00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:00.447
It was called the Dean Dome.

00:08:00.447 --> 00:08:03.160
Was it the Dean Dome when he was still coaching?

00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:04.963
Like it was crazy.

00:08:04.963 --> 00:08:10.653
Dean Smith just had all the org, but Michael Jordan Dean Dome Was it the Dean Dome when he was still coaching?

00:08:10.653 --> 00:08:10.954
It was crazy.

00:08:10.954 --> 00:08:18.285
Dean Smith just had all the aura, but Michael Jordan becoming Michael Jordan after the fact he had so much to where there was no bigger figure than Jordan.

00:08:18.285 --> 00:08:20.672
So we are a very recency-biased society and whatnot.

00:08:20.672 --> 00:08:31.668
So, as great as his aura will always be, if Flagg goes on to do the things that some of us think, you won't even be able to touch it, jordan became the greatest player ever.

00:08:32.361 --> 00:08:35.304
If Cooper ends up becoming the greatest player ever, sure.

00:08:35.304 --> 00:08:45.466
But if he's just a face of the NBA, but still really good, it's tied, but if everyone knows he's going to be the greatest player ever, then sure yeah, it's not a debate.

00:08:45.740 --> 00:08:48.972
We just said that Cooper Flagg might be the greatest player ever.

00:08:49.981 --> 00:08:51.889
I mean, I wouldn't put it past him.

00:08:54.020 --> 00:09:00.432
Okay, all righty, got like maybe 20 or 30 people before.

00:09:00.721 --> 00:09:04.119
Let him get in the league first, man let's not Let him get in the league first.

00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:04.845
That's fair.

00:09:04.845 --> 00:09:05.557
I see the lead, that's fair.

00:09:05.557 --> 00:09:08.404
I see flashes.

00:09:08.404 --> 00:09:10.349
That's fair, you see flashes.

00:09:10.448 --> 00:09:15.121
Okay, as a lebron fan on here, I feel like that's just last one's for mj.

00:09:15.142 --> 00:09:23.385
Like guys put the brakes you know what, though, and we'll we'll get to the men's final four in a second, but to stay on.

00:09:23.385 --> 00:09:35.306
It's going to be so fun for me, as I get older, to watch all the LeBron people hate on the next generation of who comes up.

00:09:35.306 --> 00:09:39.428
It's going to be so funny to hear the LeBron, whoever debate.

00:09:39.428 --> 00:09:43.168
It's going to be very similar to the Jordan-LeBron debate now.

00:09:43.168 --> 00:09:58.374
It's going to be so fun to hear all the people that are delusional about LeBron, and this is the thing that's going to really make you mad, because what's going to happen is like you have to have lived through errors to really know who people are right.

00:09:58.374 --> 00:10:09.254
So, like Jordan, you can go to YouTube and stuff like that, but it doesn't really do it justice, because you had to have lived through the magnitude of a huge game, six and all that to really get what he did.

00:10:14.179 --> 00:10:17.320
Yeah, it's going to be the same thing with LeBron, because we all know LeBron is great, right, there's no as much as you know me and Diego troll and whatnot.

00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:19.505
We know LeBron is great, greatest.

00:10:19.505 --> 00:10:21.049
You know, one of the greatest of all times.

00:10:21.049 --> 00:10:36.760
But when you look at like skill wise, right, just imagine is, especially with how long he plays, could you imagine the next generation going back and looking at youtube highlights of lebron and going, okay, well he, he just played for 25 years, but was he really all that?

00:10:36.780 --> 00:10:40.072
yeah, he passed it he really he wasn't a great shooter.

00:10:40.072 --> 00:10:40.552
He wasn't.

00:10:40.552 --> 00:11:01.245
It's like I can all I can already hear all the arguments and then you'll be losing your mind because you'll be like, no, you can't just go to youtube, you had to have lived through it and it's gonna be the same thing a lot of people discredit like jordan because he played so far back a lot of a lot of people now are like oh well, people back then were trash, yeah, like yeah that's gonna be fun to see I

00:11:01.284 --> 00:11:04.130
already resigned to Wemmy and Jokic killing the game.

00:11:04.130 --> 00:11:05.573
Oh you know Wemmy's going to listen.

00:11:05.573 --> 00:11:09.409
I'm already like hey, it's going to happen with one of those two.

00:11:09.409 --> 00:11:13.527
I'm just waiting for everything to fully develop between those two careers.

00:11:13.547 --> 00:11:14.649
Yeah for sure.

00:11:14.649 --> 00:11:16.734
All right, well, that was fun, man.

00:11:16.734 --> 00:11:26.850
Well, let's move on to men's Final Four here and let's talk about, within this year, nil.

00:11:26.850 --> 00:11:28.522
Alright, so NIL, we've got four number one seeds here for the men.

00:11:28.522 --> 00:11:30.864
We've got Florida and Auburn playing.

00:11:30.864 --> 00:11:32.702
So the men play tomorrow, women play tonight.

00:11:32.702 --> 00:11:33.888
Can't wait for that Matter of fact.

00:11:33.888 --> 00:11:37.447
They just tipped off First game, just tipped off at 7 pm Eastern here.

00:11:37.899 --> 00:11:39.706
So, yes, yep, so can't wait for that.

00:11:39.706 --> 00:11:49.190
But we've got Florida and Auburn playing first, and then we have Duke and Houston, oh man, and we're going to bring Breon in a second and we're going to talk about those games.

00:11:49.190 --> 00:11:51.288
But, diego, what's your take on NIL?

00:11:51.288 --> 00:11:55.951
Has it eliminated mid-majors from competing anymore in college?

00:11:56.581 --> 00:12:00.471
I think mid-majors will still be able to compete in the tournament and get a few wins.

00:12:00.471 --> 00:12:15.865
But as far as Final Four making deep runs, like like some teams in the past that might be over, like that might not be as common they will be able to win a game or two but not go as far as they have in years past.

00:12:16.287 --> 00:12:29.735
I think okay I would say, like for mid-majors, you're gonna need veteran squads who are, like you know, at least proven at this point, because, again, you're not going to be able to attract, like all these like high profile, like high school players.

00:12:29.735 --> 00:12:32.004
So that's going to be, you know, the difficult thing.

00:12:32.004 --> 00:12:39.681
But if you're a team, that's you know, then like gone through a bunch of stuff and you're still like are going to keep pushing, that's what I think is going to happen.

00:12:39.681 --> 00:12:40.682
But I, uh, it's.

00:12:40.682 --> 00:12:45.010
I'm looking at all these onesies, I'm like this is crazy.

00:12:45.051 --> 00:12:54.730
Yes, yes, and everybody who picked the brackets are like oh well, you know we went against our conventions, you know we were trying to pick upsets and it's like you know it felt feels inevitable at this point is.

00:12:54.730 --> 00:13:00.942
That's kind of what's alarming about the change in basketball and football as well yeah, and it has happened before.

00:13:01.001 --> 00:13:06.345
you know, we've had four number one seeds make it to the Final Four, so not the first time.

00:13:06.345 --> 00:13:09.690
So is it more of a fluke or is this how it's going to be?

00:13:09.690 --> 00:13:20.519
But yeah, the mid-majors will definitely have to have players that are more seasoned, but the thing is, once they then show out, they can enter the portal and then they're losing those guys.

00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:32.274
So that's kind of the argument the experienced guys are going to want to go where they get the most money because they know they're not going to nba right away, so they're trying to get as much money in college as possible.

00:13:32.274 --> 00:13:36.470
Yeah, yeah, so that that's definitely going to be tough for the uh, the mid-majors to keep these guys for sure.

00:13:36.710 --> 00:13:39.921
So, with all the money being there, yeah, definitely, definitely.

00:13:39.921 --> 00:13:46.553
Okay, brandon, and said brandon says might be unpopular, unpopular, take, but you root for the big programs in Kansas.

00:13:46.553 --> 00:13:53.309
Ok, better for college, ok, all right, brandon, yeah, you have to expound on that a little more when we have you on at the end.

00:13:53.309 --> 00:14:05.533
So, yeah, curious to hear a little more about that, all right, well, let's bring Brie on and let's actually dive into who we've got for these final four picks here.

00:14:05.533 --> 00:14:06.475
What's going on, brie?

00:14:07.019 --> 00:14:07.884
Hi, not much.

00:14:08.379 --> 00:14:11.167
All right, all right, well, good to see you, as always.

00:14:11.167 --> 00:14:14.821
So yeah, we're here with the men's final four.

00:14:14.821 --> 00:14:16.024
They're in San Antonio.

00:14:16.024 --> 00:14:26.639
We had all number one seeds here and, man, I believe, I believe somebody actually picked all the number one seeds, that was me.

00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:29.288
Man that was definitely me.

00:14:29.880 --> 00:14:30.971
So I know I did.

00:14:30.971 --> 00:14:31.860
Now did you as well.

00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:34.990
I said on the King show I changed it to Michigan State.

00:14:34.990 --> 00:14:37.869
On my bracket I have all one seeds.

00:14:39.222 --> 00:14:40.086
Oh, that's questionable.

00:14:40.086 --> 00:14:41.028
You can check it.

00:14:41.028 --> 00:14:41.811
So you got one.

00:14:41.811 --> 00:14:44.729
So that sounds like you hedged your bet there.

00:14:45.460 --> 00:14:46.522
I did, but like what?

00:14:46.522 --> 00:14:52.631
But what's written on my bracket, that's the one that matters, that's the moneymaker.

00:14:52.631 --> 00:14:53.232
I don't know.

00:14:53.913 --> 00:14:54.695
Yeah, I don't know.

00:14:54.695 --> 00:14:57.249
I think I would go by what you said at Kings.

00:14:57.249 --> 00:14:58.644
Yeah, I think so.

00:14:58.644 --> 00:14:59.267
You think so?

00:14:59.640 --> 00:14:59.942
Watch when.

00:14:59.981 --> 00:15:00.686
I win the bracket.

00:15:00.686 --> 00:15:03.264
What do you think, Bree?

00:15:03.264 --> 00:15:05.038
Do we need to go about what he said at kings?

00:15:05.038 --> 00:15:07.668
Yeah yeah, I think so.

00:15:07.668 --> 00:15:12.345
I think we need to go about that, all right.

00:15:12.345 --> 00:15:16.211
So, brie, uh, let's go with these uh matchups here.

00:15:16.211 --> 00:15:18.695
So we've got florida auburn.

00:15:18.695 --> 00:15:20.683
Does auburn have any chance against florida?

00:15:21.404 --> 00:15:23.249
uh, yeah, they're gonna to beat Florida.

00:15:24.311 --> 00:15:24.611
What.

00:15:24.831 --> 00:15:25.153
What?

00:15:25.153 --> 00:15:27.793
Yes, I have Auburn winning it all.

00:15:28.620 --> 00:15:32.765
Oh man, all right, okay, you got them winning it all.

00:15:33.327 --> 00:15:37.227
Yeah, I feel a little risky, but I like this.

00:15:37.809 --> 00:15:41.972
Yes, yes, now you know they have to be probably the most.

00:15:41.972 --> 00:15:44.788
I don't know if I should say disrespected, they are seasoned, but they have to be the most.

00:15:44.788 --> 00:15:45.433
I don't know if I should say disrespected, they are seasoned.

00:15:45.433 --> 00:15:47.365
They have to be the most.

00:15:47.365 --> 00:15:52.908
I'll say underrated, they have to be the most underrated number one overall seed ever.

00:15:52.908 --> 00:15:58.047
They're the number one overall seed as far as for the tournament goes.

00:15:58.047 --> 00:16:09.166
There's not many people that are like, if you did a poll of people right now, I'd say maybe 10% of people right now, I I'd say maybe maybe 10 percent of people would say auburn at this point.

00:16:09.166 --> 00:16:13.542
Yeah, because it's gonna be duke and duke and um, florida heavily right.

00:16:13.542 --> 00:16:16.572
Then houston would be that next tier and then auburn.

00:16:16.572 --> 00:16:18.219
So we'll, we'll see there.

00:16:18.219 --> 00:16:20.865
All right, okay, so you got auburn winning it all.

00:16:20.865 --> 00:16:22.508
And then what about the, the Duke?

00:16:22.508 --> 00:16:24.412
And well, you know what?

00:16:24.412 --> 00:16:27.984
Let's stay with that Diego who you got with Auburn.

00:16:28.765 --> 00:16:29.447
Auburn, florida.

00:16:29.447 --> 00:16:31.549
I'm going with all no Florida.

00:16:31.549 --> 00:16:33.192
Okay, you got Florida.

00:16:33.192 --> 00:16:35.764
Florida, okay, I'm sure you have the pick right now.

00:16:35.785 --> 00:16:36.467
That's a good job.

00:16:36.467 --> 00:16:38.921
Yeah, okay, was it different somewhere?

00:16:39.020 --> 00:16:41.042
else, it's Florida, it's Florida.

00:16:41.042 --> 00:16:43.062
It's Florida, man, all right, it's Florida, all right.

00:16:43.062 --> 00:16:44.364
So we're staying with Florida.

00:16:44.364 --> 00:16:44.884
What about you, chris?

00:16:44.903 --> 00:16:46.825
I would stay with Florida as well.

00:16:46.825 --> 00:16:58.432
That Texas Tech game and how they came back in the fourth quarter really moved me, just seeing how, again, during all the adversity and they just locked in on defense, even when their shots weren't falling, they still had faith in it.

00:16:58.432 --> 00:17:02.073
And, yeah man, they got one of the most clutch players I've ever seen.

00:17:02.073 --> 00:17:03.094
So yeah, walter.

00:17:03.114 --> 00:17:03.394
Clayton.

00:17:03.394 --> 00:17:04.654
Yes, yes, walter Clayton.

00:17:04.654 --> 00:17:08.998
Speaking of Walter Clayton, he went to a mid-major and then transferred.

00:17:08.998 --> 00:17:10.038
Yes, he went to Iona.

00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:14.251
Yes, yes, great point, Great point, yeah, absolutely Okay.

00:17:14.251 --> 00:17:17.788
So yeah, I have Florida as well, for sure.

00:17:17.788 --> 00:17:33.757
Okay, so yeah, bre, bre, oh man, you're're gonna have some big time bragging rights, if I just, if they beat florida, but if they win the whole thing oh yeah, you're gonna be looking good on that, okay.

00:17:33.652 --> 00:17:34.796
So what about duke houston?

00:17:34.796 --> 00:17:35.026
Who do you have on that brie?

00:17:35.026 --> 00:17:45.734
Well, duke, because, just because super flag is really good I don't know, I uh yeah okay, you don't seem too excited about that, so yeah well, because if they do and if auburn wins, then I don't know if Auburn would beat Duke.

00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:46.720
Okay.

00:17:47.682 --> 00:17:48.425
I got that.

00:17:49.248 --> 00:17:51.564
All right, diego.

00:17:51.564 --> 00:17:53.750
Silly question, duke Houston.

00:17:55.561 --> 00:17:57.885
We all know it's going to be Duke?

00:17:57.905 --> 00:17:59.367
I don't even have to say anything.

00:17:59.570 --> 00:18:02.406
It's just about how much are we going to win by?

00:18:02.406 --> 00:18:03.529
That's really the thing.

00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:05.348
I don't think, duke, but I pray that this is another Detroit Lions.

00:18:05.348 --> 00:18:06.434
It's just about how much are we going to win by?

00:18:06.434 --> 00:18:07.118
That's really the thing.

00:18:07.118 --> 00:18:10.380
Okay, I don't think, duke, but I pray that this is another Detroit Lions thing that we have happened again.

00:18:10.619 --> 00:18:13.164
It's like oh, it's right, how much are we going to win?

00:18:13.164 --> 00:18:14.709
And then we get you know.

00:18:14.709 --> 00:18:16.633
That's all I'm saying, that's all.

00:18:16.673 --> 00:18:22.163
I'm saying I just don't want to have a repeat of that.

00:18:22.203 --> 00:18:27.087
That's why I'm like Duke man, that was bad, that was bad, yeah.

00:18:27.087 --> 00:18:33.133
Well, hey, you know I'm going Houston, okay, so I picked Houston to win this.

00:18:33.133 --> 00:18:37.236
I picked Houston to win it all, okay, so I'm still looking good here.

00:18:37.236 --> 00:18:40.902
Houston has that defense, oh my goodness.

00:18:40.902 --> 00:18:55.790
And what I worry about, if you're pulling for Duke, what you need to be concerned about is how Carolina and how some other teams put some really tight defense on Duke and came back strong in the second halves.

00:18:55.790 --> 00:19:03.327
So if those teams put defense on them and had them throwing the ball all over the place, what in the world are they going to do against that Duke?

00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:05.945
I got a question for you, I mean against Houston.

00:19:05.945 --> 00:19:07.727
How many times do we beat Carolina?

00:19:07.727 --> 00:19:11.075
This year, you beat them at least three times.

00:19:11.096 --> 00:19:12.785
You beat them three times, we beat them three times.

00:19:14.023 --> 00:19:15.829
So I don't think that should be your example here.

00:19:15.829 --> 00:19:18.097
Okay, all right, okay.

00:19:18.218 --> 00:19:18.680
Good point.

00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:28.000
But again, I've seen but I'd use that as a good example because that is a much lesser team and you struggle with their defense.

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:36.575
So if you struggle with Carolina's pressure, just wait until that Houston football squad shows up and puts their defense on you.

00:19:36.575 --> 00:19:38.948
Oh man, they're going to be all up in your chest.

00:19:39.299 --> 00:19:39.962
We got the D.

00:19:39.962 --> 00:19:41.268
We got the D and the O.

00:19:42.682 --> 00:19:47.880
OK, you got bailed out because she had that injury last year, but you're not getting bailed out this year.

00:19:47.900 --> 00:19:49.246
We are much better this year.

00:19:50.269 --> 00:19:52.625
We didn't have Cooper last year, and so are we.

00:19:52.625 --> 00:19:54.145
We've got offense.

00:19:54.145 --> 00:19:55.223
Now we can shoot threes.

00:19:55.284 --> 00:19:58.387
Now we can shoot threes too, All right.

00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:00.625
We are going to see.

00:20:00.625 --> 00:20:07.957
It's going to be a showdown tomorrow night, oh man, about 11 o'clock y'all, we're going to have to call the authorities.

00:20:07.957 --> 00:20:08.765
We're going to have to do a wellness check.

00:20:08.765 --> 00:20:10.963
You may have to do a wellness check on Diego.

00:20:10.963 --> 00:20:15.055
So our dog Kirby, our support dog Kirby, might be making an appearance.

00:20:15.075 --> 00:20:15.460
I'll be right here.

00:20:15.460 --> 00:20:16.905
I might come to the studio.

00:20:20.040 --> 00:20:21.768
The support dog may be making an appearance.

00:20:21.768 --> 00:20:26.751
So, bree, we have a lot to be proud of you for.

00:20:26.751 --> 00:20:34.788
For one, you have done a great job interviewing and tracking down a lot of athletes, and we're going to take a moment to highlight that.

00:20:34.788 --> 00:20:42.773
So, but before we do that, we want to congratulate you on being accepted into Grand Canyon University.

00:20:42.773 --> 00:20:48.461
So congratulations to you, thank you, yes, yes, we're very, very proud of you for that.

00:20:48.461 --> 00:20:54.383
Uh, they have got a gym and we know you're going to continue to go on and do many great things.

00:20:54.383 --> 00:20:56.588
So we're proud of you for that, first and foremost.

00:20:57.049 --> 00:21:00.448
Second of all, you've already done several interviews.

00:21:00.448 --> 00:21:02.114
Some are being edited right now.

00:21:02.114 --> 00:21:05.346
We have one that is out right now with Eric Priest.

00:21:05.346 --> 00:21:07.224
He's 15 and 0 boxer.

00:21:07.224 --> 00:21:07.807
I tell you what.

00:21:07.807 --> 00:21:15.708
We're going to play a three minute clip from that interview so everyone can get familiar with your interviews and what's to come.

00:21:15.708 --> 00:21:18.903
So we're going to play a three minute clip from that.

00:21:18.903 --> 00:21:24.347
But why don't you maybe just tell us a little bit about Eric and who he is, to kind of lead us into this?

00:21:24.347 --> 00:21:27.945
This clip of my sports journey with Eric yeah, of course.

00:21:27.987 --> 00:21:31.500
So, eric, he's really inspirational just the way he talks.

00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:34.769
If you listen to him, you you would just get inspired by that.

00:21:34.769 --> 00:21:36.352
And he's a really good boxer.

00:21:36.352 --> 00:21:38.443
I mean, he's 15 and 0.

00:21:38.443 --> 00:21:41.169
He fights under Oscar De La Hoya.

00:21:41.169 --> 00:21:44.275
Yeah, I mean, he's a really good guy in the interview.

00:21:44.275 --> 00:21:47.761
I think shows for itself all right, fantastic.

00:21:47.883 --> 00:21:50.067
Well, let's go ahead and go into it.

00:21:50.067 --> 00:21:52.654
I'm gonna fire up this clip, enjoy.

00:21:52.654 --> 00:21:55.384
You can see the full interview on our youtube channel.

00:21:55.384 --> 00:21:58.251
Just go into my sports journey and watch the full interview.

00:21:58.271 --> 00:22:07.972
But we're gonna go ahead and play this three minute clip and we'll be right back hey guys, it's brown with pick and pros and you're watching Episode 3 of my Incredible Sports Journey.

00:22:07.972 --> 00:22:12.310
I had the pleasure of sitting down with 15-0 boxing champion Eric Priest.

00:22:12.310 --> 00:22:51.757
I hope you enjoy.

00:22:51.757 --> 00:22:59.125
We'll be right back so when you stepped into the ring for your first main event in January, that must have been a huge milestone for you.

00:22:59.125 --> 00:23:04.000
How did it feel to carry the weight of the attention and that pressure on your first main event?

00:23:04.401 --> 00:23:07.145
You know I've always said pressure is a privilege.

00:23:07.145 --> 00:23:17.781
Um, so, to carry that weight and to be able to have the opportunity to be my first main event, um, I would say, you know it's like an honor.

00:23:17.781 --> 00:23:18.284
You know what I mean.

00:23:18.284 --> 00:23:22.320
I feel like a lot of people would, um, like kill for that opportunity.

00:23:22.320 --> 00:23:22.863
You know what I mean.

00:23:22.903 --> 00:23:28.566
Like I mean a lot of people want to view pressure and things as like a bad thing, but to me it's like what an opportunity.

00:23:28.566 --> 00:23:31.304
You know, it's like what you know, like this is what you asked for.

00:23:31.304 --> 00:23:48.750
And so, um, to have the opportunity to have high expectations of myself or have other people have high expectations of what I can do, and I knew, going into it, it was going to be a hard fight and the guy, um, you know, with a 20 and 2 record, that's, it's pretty good and, uh, I was all right.

00:23:48.750 --> 00:23:52.402
Well, you know, I think I don't know, like I said, what a privilege.

00:23:52.402 --> 00:24:00.690
So I don't know, fresh pressure is a pressure can either make you or break you, and I prefer to let it make me what are your ultimate goals in boxing?

00:24:00.730 --> 00:24:05.480
do you see yourself going for world titles or do you have other aspirations for the career?

00:24:05.579 --> 00:24:10.236
sport right now, like my goal, my mindset, everything that I'm doing.

00:24:10.236 --> 00:24:14.127
You know, I'm about to go to practice right after this interview, like for absolutely no reason at all.

00:24:14.127 --> 00:24:15.411
I just fought, like three weeks ago.

00:24:15.411 --> 00:24:20.839
I don't have to, you know, and it's just like just because, uh, yeah, like I want to win a world title.

00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:21.922
That's just always been the goal.

00:24:21.922 --> 00:24:23.787
I want to at one point say I was the best in the world.

00:24:23.787 --> 00:24:26.553
That's something, not something boxing.

00:24:26.553 --> 00:24:34.884
If I can impact thousands, not millions, on the way up doing that, that would be pretty cool too.

00:24:37.644 --> 00:24:45.382
I would like to utilize winning a world title to become the face of Korean-American sports in a sport where it's very saturated with Latinos and African-Americans.

00:24:45.382 --> 00:25:04.865
Winning a world title to become kind of the face of Korean American sports, uh, in a sport where it's very saturated with, like, latinos and African Americans it's like there's not too many Korean people in there so, to be able to represent my culture and, um, kind of act as a front runner for a lot of kids that may be wanting to take the same path as me, um, and kind of trailblaze, that that'd be pretty cool.

00:25:04.865 --> 00:25:08.019
So, yeah, wanting to take the same path as me, um, and kind of trailblaze, that that'd be pretty cool.

00:25:08.019 --> 00:25:08.647
So yeah, first step win world title.

00:25:08.647 --> 00:25:12.750
Everything else, I guess, will kind of fall in place afterwards all right.

00:25:13.109 --> 00:25:14.491
Yes, yes, all right.

00:25:14.491 --> 00:25:19.801
So great job, brie, great job, and there's many more that you're working on.

00:25:19.801 --> 00:25:23.371
I believe you had an interview yesterday with the nfl player.

00:25:23.371 --> 00:25:24.442
You want to tell us about that one.

00:25:24.865 --> 00:25:26.141
Yes, I do so.

00:25:26.141 --> 00:25:28.910
Yesterday I had the pleasure of interviewing Will Hernandez.

00:25:28.910 --> 00:25:35.786
He's a defensive lineman for the Cardinals and that interview was really really good, so I'm excited for that one to come out.

00:25:35.786 --> 00:25:44.041
He's super, super nice and everyone's so welcoming there, so he has some pretty good answers for some things and I think you guys will be really impressed with it.

00:25:44.061 --> 00:25:48.847
Had some pretty good answers for some things and I think you guys will be really impressed with it.

00:25:48.847 --> 00:25:50.690
All right, good, good, we can't wait to.

00:25:50.690 --> 00:25:51.250
Can't wait to see that one.

00:25:51.250 --> 00:25:52.412
So great job, thank you, all right.

00:25:52.412 --> 00:25:54.974
Well, let's move on to our next topic.

00:25:54.974 --> 00:26:04.406
We've got the women's final four OK, so that is actually going on right now.

00:26:04.406 --> 00:26:05.977
We've got South Carolinaolina playing texas right now right, okay, all right.

00:26:05.977 --> 00:26:11.391
So feel free, brandon, or anyone, to kind of keep us updated on what's going on with that throughout the show here.

00:26:11.391 --> 00:26:14.852
So I'm hoping, because I got south carolina going.

00:26:14.852 --> 00:26:17.721
I'm nervous because they they've been looking shaky, they've barely been winning.

00:26:17.721 --> 00:26:22.152
But uh, brie, who do you have in the south carolina texas game?

00:26:22.571 --> 00:26:25.881
um, I have texas mainly because I feel like they have more drive, because it's their first time in the South Carolina-Texas game.

00:26:25.881 --> 00:26:29.268
I have Texas mainly because I feel like they have more drive, because it's their first time in the Final Four since 2003.

00:26:29.268 --> 00:26:33.230
That's like 22 years ago, which is kind of crazy.

00:26:33.230 --> 00:26:41.707
So I feel like they have more drive and, like you said, I mean South Carolina kind of like been iffy a little bit lately, but yeah, I chose Texas.

00:26:43.261 --> 00:26:44.406
Okay, all right.

00:26:44.406 --> 00:26:46.145
What about you, diego?

00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:47.945
Yeah, I'm going with South Carolina.

00:26:47.945 --> 00:26:55.971
I mean they got a ton of experience, good coaching, and yeah, I just think they're going to have what it takes to just win in the big games.

00:26:55.971 --> 00:26:57.183
They got the experience.

00:26:57.203 --> 00:27:07.086
I think they'll pull it out, and I know they're in the SEC so they've played, they've already played, they're familiar with each other they've played, they've already played, they're familiar with each other.

00:27:07.086 --> 00:27:07.666
How about you, chris, uh us.

00:27:07.686 --> 00:27:16.532
Oh well, south carolina, as well, south carolina sorry okay, folks, but like yeah I'm still, um, yeah, so rocking with don staley and all the talented people that they have down there.

00:27:16.532 --> 00:27:27.425
I'm just really scared because they get matchups that they have played they're like one and one on the season to like it was like a coin flip to decide who was like the SEC championship, so that was like the whole thing.

00:27:27.425 --> 00:27:30.088
So that's why I'm a little bit more nervous.

00:27:30.088 --> 00:27:33.990
So I'm picking South Carolina because of the experience, but I don't know.

00:27:34.220 --> 00:27:37.777
Yeah, we're all just pulling for Don Staley, I think to be honest.

00:27:37.777 --> 00:27:40.188
So we were very nervous about it.

00:27:40.188 --> 00:27:47.842
Brandon said, yeah, texas is up 15-11 right now, so yeah it.

00:27:47.882 --> 00:27:49.285
Brandon said, yeah, texas is up 15, 11 right now.

00:27:49.285 --> 00:27:49.724
So yeah.

00:27:49.744 --> 00:27:51.107
So, brie, we need the, we need the island.

00:27:51.107 --> 00:27:54.054
Uh hat in the island shop on the island for like two games, so we need to bring that back.

00:27:54.054 --> 00:27:57.123
All right, so what about the next one?

00:27:57.123 --> 00:28:00.946
We've got um UCLA and, uh, who's UConn?

00:28:00.946 --> 00:28:03.490
Yes, yes, uconn, uconn, yes, yes, ucla, uconn.

00:28:03.490 --> 00:28:04.790
Who do you have in that Bri?

00:28:06.132 --> 00:28:08.454
Okay, dawn was a tough one.

00:28:08.454 --> 00:28:12.104
I don't want to be on the island again, I'm just kidding.

00:28:12.104 --> 00:28:23.756
I chose UConn just because Paige, she's like dominating right now, um, but also lauren, bets on ucla is also dominating for both their teams right now.

00:28:23.756 --> 00:28:24.377
So it's really.

00:28:24.377 --> 00:28:31.921
It was a close call for me, but I chose uconn yeah, okay, yeah, I think smart money's probably on uconn.

00:28:31.941 --> 00:28:33.866
A lot of people have them winning at all.

00:28:33.866 --> 00:28:34.689
How about you, diego?

00:28:35.191 --> 00:28:36.557
yeah, I'm gonna go with uconn.

00:28:36.557 --> 00:28:39.001
Um ucla, they're a good team.

00:28:39.001 --> 00:28:40.625
They got their 6-7 center.

00:28:40.625 --> 00:28:43.622
That's going to be tough for them to guard.

00:28:43.622 --> 00:28:51.963
But UConn, they got Paige, they got good coaching over there, so I think they have the edge in this one.

00:28:52.535 --> 00:28:53.358
I hear UConn as well.

00:28:53.358 --> 00:28:55.630
Paige has been losing her mind recently.

00:28:55.630 --> 00:28:57.461
I just want to see her.

00:28:57.461 --> 00:29:05.364
As much as I have been rude for Don, I do want to see page go out with a bag, just just because yeah yeah, I'm.

00:29:06.046 --> 00:29:08.029
I'm pulling for though I picked uconn.

00:29:08.029 --> 00:29:10.154
I had uconn south carolina.

00:29:10.154 --> 00:29:13.487
Like a lot of people in the championship, I'm pulling for ucla.

00:29:13.487 --> 00:29:17.578
I hope ucla can get the update because I don't want to see uconn.

00:29:17.578 --> 00:29:21.606
I'm hoping, hoping UCLA can knock them out.

00:29:21.606 --> 00:29:31.161
And isn't it funny that UConn is the only non-number one seed to make the Final Four across both Everyone else is the number one seed.

00:29:31.161 --> 00:29:32.895
Uconn's the number two seed.

00:29:32.895 --> 00:29:33.859
It's still UConn.

00:29:35.615 --> 00:29:36.661
It's not even like an upset?

00:29:36.661 --> 00:29:37.818
No, not at all.

00:29:37.818 --> 00:29:41.479
Uconn's the team everyone's the most scared of.

00:29:41.479 --> 00:29:43.362
That's pretty funny, all right.

00:29:43.362 --> 00:29:46.686
Well, bree, always a pleasure to have you.

00:29:46.686 --> 00:29:53.898
We will bring you back on a little later as we talk Aaron Rodgers specifically, as well as maybe a few more NFL topics.

00:29:55.021 --> 00:29:56.586
Yep, all right, see you in a bit.

00:30:06.075 --> 00:30:06.536
Okay, see in a bit.

00:30:06.536 --> 00:30:06.997
Okay, see you in a bit.

00:30:06.997 --> 00:30:08.520
Thank you all right, cool, cool, uh hi, josh boo, yeah, josh, yeah, josh.

00:30:08.520 --> 00:30:16.446
Yukon needs to get knocked out because so, josh, yeah, one of our very, very loyal subscribers and supporters he has a chance because we have the bracket challenge right, pick them pros.

00:30:16.446 --> 00:30:22.115
We've got a hundred dollar nike gift card for the men's bracket and the women's bracket.

00:30:22.115 --> 00:30:28.066
Josh has a chance, as well as I do a few people to win both, depending on how it falls.

00:30:28.066 --> 00:30:32.819
If if yukon and duke wins, he has a very good chance.

00:30:32.819 --> 00:30:36.606
If yukon wins, I think he automatically wins the women.

00:30:36.606 --> 00:30:43.421
If duke wins, you and uh, josh and die will be tied and it's going to come down to tiebreaker.

00:30:43.421 --> 00:30:45.118
So that'll be very interesting.

00:30:45.118 --> 00:30:51.058
So, yeah, yeah, can't wait to see that, all right, well, hey, let's go to the NBA.

00:30:51.520 --> 00:30:51.942
All right.

00:30:52.154 --> 00:30:56.303
Yes, Can't wait to talk about this here with our guy, Christopher Davis.

00:30:56.303 --> 00:31:01.152
So Lakers and Warriors so they are currently the 4-5 seed.

00:31:01.152 --> 00:31:01.946
So Lakers and Warriors so they are currently the four and five seed.

00:31:01.946 --> 00:31:07.047
So if the playoffs started today they would match up in the first round.

00:31:07.047 --> 00:31:10.894
A lot of people are saying they don't want to see that first round, they want to see that later.

00:31:10.894 --> 00:31:13.241
I personally want to go ahead and get it over with.

00:31:13.723 --> 00:31:16.395
I want to see that, please, yeah, let's please see that first round.

00:31:16.395 --> 00:31:16.955
I don't want that to wait.

00:31:16.976 --> 00:31:18.356
Yeah let's please see that first round.

00:31:18.356 --> 00:31:19.417
I don't want that to wait.

00:31:19.417 --> 00:31:25.383
So, Diego, first, do you think they will face off first round?

00:31:25.383 --> 00:31:27.924
And whenever they face off, who's going to win?

00:31:29.086 --> 00:31:30.646
I think they'll face off first round.

00:31:30.646 --> 00:31:34.369
With the way it's going, I think the seeding is going to flip.

00:31:34.369 --> 00:31:36.791
I think the Warriors will be four, lakers will be five.

00:31:36.791 --> 00:31:49.503
Either way, I'm still going to have the Warriors, of course, because I'm a Warriors fan, of course, and then, with the way they beat them yesterday and we got playoff Jimmy, he's going to come in and play at another level.

00:31:49.503 --> 00:31:50.526
That's going to be big.

00:31:50.526 --> 00:31:53.843
They beat them yesterday, yes, definitely.

00:31:53.843 --> 00:31:57.701
How much Beat them by about seven.

00:31:58.202 --> 00:31:59.747
Oh my goodness, they beat them by seven.

00:31:59.747 --> 00:32:02.535
That had to have been in the Bay right.

00:32:03.078 --> 00:32:03.526
It was in LA.

00:32:03.526 --> 00:32:08.161
Yeah, in LA, in LeBron's house, and Steph was getting MVP chance.

00:32:08.415 --> 00:32:08.837
What?

00:32:08.837 --> 00:32:11.660
No, not in Cryptocom.

00:32:11.660 --> 00:32:13.859
That did not happen.

00:32:14.214 --> 00:32:19.898
There's no, listen, I already said what's going to happen when we pop out in LA.

00:32:19.898 --> 00:32:21.255
We're going to happen when we pop out, let us pop out in LA.

00:32:21.255 --> 00:32:26.300
We're going to have to deal with some people in a different color because we called it the crib.

00:32:26.300 --> 00:32:29.454
Now let me get my take off with the Lakers.00:32:29.454 --> 00:32:33.666


Listen, luka, I have no idea what he was doing at the end of that game.00:32:34.255 --> 00:32:42.342


And him going 0 for 6 from 3, him choosing the worst game for him not to show up, especially knowing that we're going to have to play these guys in the playoffs.00:32:42.342 --> 00:32:45.984


You chose the one and again, even LeBron's absence.00:32:45.984 --> 00:32:49.627


There's been moments where he's been hooping, but also guess who else has been hooping?00:32:49.627 --> 00:32:54.051


Austin Reeves, and guess who, at the end of the game, hit two really big threes?00:32:54.051 --> 00:32:55.316


Austin Reeves.00:32:55.316 --> 00:32:57.865


So why did he not get the ball in the last few seconds?00:32:57.865 --> 00:33:02.259


And again, I not get the ball in the last few seconds?00:33:02.259 --> 00:33:05.733


And again, I understand it is crazy the fact that we did trade anthony davis for a player and I am saying that when austin reeves to get the ball.00:33:05.733 --> 00:33:11.895


But again, I was thinking let's go with a player who just hit three big like, three big shots, like what's what's going on?00:33:11.915 --> 00:33:19.922


y'all, maybe y'all should have kept 80, perhaps perhaps perhaps perhaps and look, we can talk about, like, listen.00:33:19.922 --> 00:33:20.994


We could talk about, like, listen.00:33:20.994 --> 00:33:28.227


We could talk about our team defense improving and us seeming to get better, but we don't have that big man.00:33:28.227 --> 00:33:36.962


And again, with the Warriors it is a favorable matchup, but every single time we play them, lebron and Steph decide to be like oh, this is our legacy to fighting series.00:33:36.962 --> 00:33:39.042


So I have to have a heart attack every time.00:33:39.042 --> 00:33:41.340


So I am very worried.00:33:41.340 --> 00:33:53.204


So I think that we, as lakers head, are you know, I'm so rooting for them, but I am terrified having to play them first our concern, okay, yeah if I'm terrified, we're terrified.00:33:53.224 --> 00:33:54.386


We might go out the first round.00:33:54.467 --> 00:33:56.958


I'm not I'm not joking about that.00:33:56.958 --> 00:34:10.025


So yeah, if, if somebody offers you a Lamborghini for half off, you know you might want to kick the tires a little bit and just don't purchase it right off the bat.00:34:10.025 --> 00:34:13.865


You may just want to take your time a little bit, ask a few questions.00:34:13.865 --> 00:34:16.315


You know you just may want to do that.00:34:16.315 --> 00:34:18.760


There might be a reason why.00:34:19.001 --> 00:34:38.001


You know you just woke up one day and had a Lambo following you, because when the Tigers are pushing 270 and they just automatically decide not to show up, but when you need them to show up, but a random Tuesday shoot no, I'm sorry, the Bulls losses in this really got me messed up y'all, I am stressing Josh Giddy, josh Giddy getting us for game.00:34:38.295 --> 00:34:40.668


And then LeBron having that stupid in-barrels pass Josh Giddy getting us for game and then LeBron having that stupid inbarrows pass.00:34:40.668 --> 00:34:44.737


Listen, I don't want to take off too much more of the show man.00:34:44.737 --> 00:34:45.983


I'm going through it.00:34:46.197 --> 00:34:54.764


I'm so scared man, yeah, that half court heave by Josh Giddy to meet them just took all the momentum for game.00:34:54.764 --> 00:34:56.416


Yeah, Josh Giddy for game.00:34:56.416 --> 00:35:00.164


And then, right after that, didn't they go to OKC, Wasn't it the Josh Giddey return?00:35:00.184 --> 00:35:01.588


Yeah, it was the Josh Giddey return.00:35:01.588 --> 00:35:03.059


I don't know if he got a tribute video or not.00:35:03.099 --> 00:35:05.762


Yeah, I was about to ask that's kind of the question.00:35:05.762 --> 00:35:07.005


Did he get a tribute video?00:35:07.005 --> 00:35:07.510


I don't know.00:35:07.510 --> 00:35:09.179


I'm out to do some research.00:35:09.179 --> 00:35:10.282


We'll leave that alone.00:35:10.804 --> 00:35:11.186


All right.00:35:14.697 --> 00:35:20.628


So let's move on to all right, bad Boy Pistons.00:35:20.628 --> 00:35:25.420


So, man, shout out to all family in Detroit Love you guys.00:35:25.420 --> 00:35:31.934


And yeah, shout out to my mom, everybody repping Detroit, we know you are excited that the Pistons.00:35:31.934 --> 00:35:49.804


The Pistons are doing some big things, playing some ball, but not only are they playing well and will be in the playoffs, but they are playing with a tough, hard-nosed, bad-boy style that represents the city of Detroit.00:35:49.804 --> 00:35:50.967


So that is so great.00:35:50.967 --> 00:35:54.443


So, diego man, what's your take on these bad boys?00:35:54.443 --> 00:35:54.724


Man?00:35:54.724 --> 00:35:57.461


Are they, for real, someone to be concerned about?00:35:57.461 --> 00:35:59.242


Just go ahead and take this away.00:35:59.775 --> 00:36:03.706


I think they could win a series, depending on who they face up against.00:36:03.706 --> 00:36:11.481


But I'm not surprised that they got the bad boy mentality, because whenever they've been good throughout their history they kind of had that edge.00:36:11.481 --> 00:36:14.663


So I'm not surprised for sure.00:36:14.663 --> 00:36:17.485


But they have a chance to win a series.00:36:17.485 --> 00:36:18.840


They're a solid team.00:36:19.021 --> 00:36:22.324


Okay, they can get a series, make the city of Detroit proud.00:36:22.324 --> 00:36:31.974


What would you say they need to add, just in general, to maybe get over the hump, maybe to get to a second round, get to a third round?00:36:31.974 --> 00:36:33.039


Are they lacking anything?00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:34.099


Anything stand out to you.00:36:35.777 --> 00:36:37.342


I think they just need one more guy.00:36:37.342 --> 00:36:40.101


One more guy, okay, because Cade's playing really well.00:36:40.101 --> 00:36:42.416


Yeah, they have that edge.00:36:42.416 --> 00:36:50.251


I think if they just have one more guy to take the pressure off kade, okay, then they could really compete with, like the calves and you know, all the top teams brand.00:36:50.271 --> 00:36:56.224


You see what brandon put in the uh comments devin booker interesting, interesting.00:36:56.224 --> 00:37:06.356


We gotta bring hold on brie, you it?00:37:06.356 --> 00:37:07.902


We got to bring hold on brie you.00:37:07.961 --> 00:37:09.327


I'm looking at brie backstage.00:37:09.367 --> 00:37:13.965


He's like no don't, don't take it might be good for both sides.00:37:13.965 --> 00:37:14.507


She's gonna lose.00:37:14.547 --> 00:37:20.864


It might be time for a rebound, but he would be his game though, man.00:37:20.884 --> 00:37:21.811


Yeah, that's a good, brandon, you snapped on that.00:37:21.811 --> 00:37:22.273


Yeah, he did game wise.00:37:22.273 --> 00:37:23.878


That that's a great, that's a great fit.00:37:23.878 --> 00:37:24.719


Was leaving at that.00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:27.565


All right, what do you think, chris?00:37:27.846 --> 00:37:32.222


well, um, yeah, I think that they are a very great defensive team.00:37:32.222 --> 00:37:33.125


Again, you have jaylen.00:37:33.125 --> 00:37:33.947


During, you have a star.00:37:33.947 --> 00:37:42.896


You have, you know, the main enforcer, isaiah stewart, who is, ah, you know, our nose brings the, brings back the feelings that you know, that's the one we.00:37:42.896 --> 00:37:48.389


You were, you were watching it, yeah, man so uh yeah, I really think that they are.00:37:49.056 --> 00:37:50.380


They are the best story in the nba.00:37:50.380 --> 00:37:51.663


They're seeing their improvement.00:37:51.663 --> 00:38:02.947


After all the turmoil, all the crazy stuff, you know, everybody like saying like, oh, they ruined monty williams and it turned out that monty williams might have just you know, I ain't going to go too much on that.00:38:03.255 --> 00:38:06.005


But I will say that Kenny Cunningham's improvement has been good.00:38:06.005 --> 00:38:11.302


I do want to see what the team looks like with Jaden Ivey fully healthy, like next season.00:38:11.302 --> 00:38:19.900


And yeah, I do think that they could get a series because again we've seen teams, you know, with a certain energy and a certain like type of you know.00:38:19.900 --> 00:38:24.204


It's more of like okay, we're starting to get established.00:38:24.204 --> 00:38:27.327


We're like so young, we don't know what's happening right now.00:38:27.327 --> 00:38:30.231


So I think that that could be a key thing for them in the playoffs.00:38:30.972 --> 00:38:40.626


Yeah, and you know it's also interesting with the whole two things can be true factor with the Pistons the coach, right Bickerstaff, got ran out of Cleveland.00:38:40.626 --> 00:38:46.882


Okay, and you know a lot of people thought it was terrible, some people thought it was a good move, including Josh.00:38:46.882 --> 00:38:53.068


But it was a good move for Cleveland because you can't argue what the new coach, Kenny Atkinson, has done.00:38:53.737 --> 00:38:56.085


He is probably coach of the year.00:38:56.085 --> 00:39:02.068


But then you can say Bickerstaff, who got ran out of Cleveland, is coach of the year for what he's done in Detroit.00:39:02.068 --> 00:39:03.420


So that is amazing.00:39:03.514 --> 00:39:14.181


I don't know if we've quite seen that happen, because Cleveland was just close, they just needed a little boost and Atkinson's giving them the boost and Detroit was just so bad.00:39:14.181 --> 00:39:18.425


They just needed somebody to get them to a playoff team and he was that.00:39:18.576 --> 00:39:21.331


And he was that because they tried many, many people.00:39:21.331 --> 00:39:23.882


So many have tried and failed in Detroit.00:39:23.882 --> 00:39:31.684


So for Bickerstaff to be the one to come in and get them going, that says a whole lot, so shout out to him for sure.00:39:31.684 --> 00:39:35.103


Yeah, love to see the Pistons doing their thing here.00:39:35.103 --> 00:39:37.418


So excited about that.00:39:37.418 --> 00:39:40.021


And then, yeah, brandon's putting some other oh, there you go Bree.00:39:40.021 --> 00:39:44.202


Yeah, excited excited about that.00:39:44.202 --> 00:39:47.710


And then, yeah, brandon's putting some other oh there you go, bree, yeah, bree, read up on those.00:39:47.710 --> 00:39:48.793


That's funny, those comments there.00:39:48.813 --> 00:39:49.494


I don't like that.00:39:49.494 --> 00:39:52.097


Oh man, I know, I know.00:39:52.097 --> 00:39:52.659


No, we got to.00:39:52.659 --> 00:39:56.646


You know we will have to talk about Phoenix, though we might save that one.00:39:56.646 --> 00:40:00.588


We'll have to talk about that with Bree We'll bring Bree on.00:40:00.588 --> 00:40:00.637


And one.00:40:00.637 --> 00:40:01.106


We'll have to talk about that with Bree, we'll bring Bree on.00:40:01.106 --> 00:40:01.938


And something We'll have to talk Suns.00:40:01.938 --> 00:40:05.320


We'll do that in the offseason, when it's time to go into that.00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:06.865


We'll definitely talk about that with you, bree.00:40:06.865 --> 00:40:17.621


Let's move on to our final NBA topic before we go NFL here today, our segment of Fact or Cap.00:40:17.621 --> 00:40:20.516


We've got a lot of teams here that are in the running.00:40:20.516 --> 00:40:24.206


Are they, you know, contenders or pretenders?00:40:24.206 --> 00:40:27.686


So let's start with the Houston Rockets.00:40:27.686 --> 00:40:31.204


Diego, how far can the Rockets go?00:40:32.617 --> 00:40:34.420


I mean, I just think it depends on matchups.00:40:34.420 --> 00:40:46.978


If they face a team like the Clippers, which they easily could, I think they win that series and then go on to face, maybe like a Warriors team or Lakers team, which they'll probably lose to.00:40:46.978 --> 00:40:53.079


But if they face a Timberwolves team which has Ant on it, then I think the Timberwolves get that.00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:54.603


So I think it just depends on the matchups.00:40:56.574 --> 00:41:00.927


Now I think and I think Chris and I are looking at each other I think we both think the Clippers would beat the Rockets?00:41:00.967 --> 00:41:14.806


Yes, because again, the way Kawhi's all of a sudden seeming to turn back the clock, which I'm very concerned with because I'm like, hold on, wait, wait, it's the fourth leg surgery and now it seems like the claw's moving back to what we've seen before.00:41:14.806 --> 00:41:20.146


I'm like, okay, this is a little concerning that this is like the 7th, 8th seed in this conference.00:41:20.206 --> 00:41:32.235


So, yeah, very, very worried about the I don't know if we want to rely on Kawhi I know we don't want to rely on Kawhi at injuries, but the way he's been looking I'm almost close to buying that fool's goal again.00:41:32.235 --> 00:41:33.199


I'm almost you got.00:41:33.815 --> 00:41:35.923


Harden, that would be his kind of homecoming.00:41:35.923 --> 00:41:42.088


I guess you like, but I think the Rockets would try to, would try to prove themselves.00:41:42.476 --> 00:41:47.063


I truly don't need him anymore to like that would be very entertaining, very fun to watch.00:41:47.063 --> 00:41:57.719


I don't think Houston has enough offense and after seeing them struggle to score in some of these games, I don't feel when it gets into playoff basketball they certainly have the defense.00:41:57.719 --> 00:41:58.583


They've got the grit.00:41:58.583 --> 00:42:01.503


Love their point guard.00:42:01.503 --> 00:42:03.440


Love, of course, udoka, the way he coaches.00:42:04.536 --> 00:42:05.882


They got a little experience too.00:42:05.882 --> 00:42:08.878


They got Van Vliet who's won.00:42:08.878 --> 00:42:10.498


Udoka's coach in the finals.00:42:10.498 --> 00:42:12.938


Then they got Dylan Brooks, who's played in playoffs.00:42:13.038 --> 00:42:16.416


It's just when they have to get a bucket in the fourth quarter.00:42:16.416 --> 00:42:18.543


They don't have that go-to guy.00:42:18.543 --> 00:42:21.472


I saw that in the game when they played the Lakers this past week.00:42:21.472 --> 00:42:24.083


They could not get a bucket when they had to.00:42:24.576 --> 00:42:31.400


I think Jalen Green will step up and get the bucket when it's time he can get some buckets.00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:33.481


I think when it's time he'll do it.00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:46.775


As far as the Clippers go, I say yeah, depending on matchup, I'd give them first round maybe, but beyond that I do not trust Kawhi beyond the first round.00:42:47.077 --> 00:42:50.208


Yeah, definitely matchups.00:42:50.208 --> 00:42:53.822


That Clippers Rocket Series would be tough to see.00:42:53.842 --> 00:42:54.282


For sure.00:42:54.282 --> 00:42:56.039


Yeah, that definitely would Okay.00:42:56.039 --> 00:42:57.458


How about the Knicks?00:42:57.458 --> 00:42:58.623


What do you think about the Knicks?00:42:59.054 --> 00:43:01.222


Knicks, I'd say they're real.00:43:01.222 --> 00:43:02.164


I'd say they're real.00:43:02.164 --> 00:43:12.266


But the only thing is that they've been playing so many minutes and it's just like a matter of if they're just going to run out of gas.00:43:12.266 --> 00:43:16.686


But pure talent-based, I think they have what it takes Okay.00:43:17.918 --> 00:43:18.981


And they have a home.00:43:18.981 --> 00:43:20.661


Their home crowd is amazing.00:43:20.661 --> 00:43:21.900


Yeah for sure.00:43:22.315 --> 00:43:29.039


MSG is crazy, but they are going to have to play either the Celtics or the Cavs in that next round.00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:32.876


I'm so sorry, Listen.00:43:32.876 --> 00:43:37.306


I think the Cavs is a much better matchup, but if they end up playing the Celtics, it's not going to be good.00:43:37.306 --> 00:43:47.221


And I also think that, when it comes to Tibbs and again, when your own players are coming out being like hey, get the guys of the bench, the bird.00:43:47.242 --> 00:43:48.143


Yeah, that's, that's a problem.00:43:48.143 --> 00:43:49.327


That is a serious problem.00:43:49.327 --> 00:44:05.489


Yeah, so if you'll be like we saw last year, when everybody was getting run to the ground and then every single person dropping and then like we didn't even know who was playing on the court on the last in that game, seven versus the pacers yeah so I'm like, until they figure that out, I don't know what's gonna happen I.00:44:07.231 --> 00:44:12.501


I like the fact that brunson has been able to get rest.00:44:12.501 --> 00:44:15.807


Yes, I think that injury was the best thing that could have happened.00:44:16.315 --> 00:44:23.429


Yeah because, he's not able to be running to the ground, so that gives me some kind of hope for the Knicks.00:44:23.429 --> 00:44:35.378


So it's going to be funny, especially with the Knicks fans and whatnot, because of course a lot of the diehard Knicks fans even just Stephen A Smiths and all those people they're like, oh no, no, they don't have enough, they don't have enough, they don't have enough.00:44:35.378 --> 00:44:38.601


But again they're just like our guys C-Pain here.00:44:38.601 --> 00:44:45.208


They say that but when they get in the thick of it they're not going to be able to help themselves and they're going to keep picking the Knicks.00:44:45.208 --> 00:44:45.869


Yeah.00:44:45.909 --> 00:44:46.128


Shoot.00:44:46.128 --> 00:44:48.891


If we down two overs of the Warriors, I'm saying it's over y'all.00:44:48.891 --> 00:44:52.422


I'm not Listen, I'm not about to be dishonest right now.00:44:52.422 --> 00:44:53.585


That game terrified me.00:44:53.585 --> 00:44:55.028


I am so worried Okay.00:45:06.835 --> 00:45:07.838


Girl guys see pain coming around.00:45:07.838 --> 00:45:08.559


All right, what about the nuggets?00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:11.226


That's a tough one, yeah, uh, you know what I'm gonna say cap, cap, no, they don't have enough.00:45:11.226 --> 00:45:12.530


Well, I mean, they have.00:45:12.530 --> 00:45:21.280


They have some experience, of course, from winning the championship two years ago, but I just don't think yokich is gonna be able to go all the way.00:45:21.280 --> 00:45:27.481


You know, know, beat the top teams like the Thunder, you know, maybe the Warriors or even some of these other teams.00:45:27.655 --> 00:45:29.088


They do have a 10-time MVP?00:45:29.393 --> 00:45:37.382


Yeah, I just I don't believe that they have the role players, like they did in that championship run out of Bruce Brown or KCP.00:45:37.382 --> 00:45:49.398


Just like you know, you can't just rely on Joe Kutcher-Murray because, again, the one thing with Jamal Murray it's like, oh, he'll show up versus certain teams and then all of a sudden versus others.00:45:49.398 --> 00:45:54.969


It's like, oh, it goes back down the drain, so we're going to see they're tough.00:45:56.434 --> 00:46:06.755


Everyone's concerned about their supporting cast, although a lot of their supporting cast I mean like the people that we're talking about aren't there are like the fourth, fifth guy, you know, sixth guy.00:46:06.755 --> 00:46:10.786


So their top three, really their top four, are still there.00:46:10.786 --> 00:46:11.757


Top four Jokic.00:46:11.797 --> 00:46:13.525


Murray, Porter and Gordon.00:46:13.525 --> 00:46:15.521


They're still there, so the top four are still there.00:46:15.594 --> 00:46:27.403


So when we're saying they don't have help, it's like okay, we're talking like six, seven guys, yeah, yeah, so you know, but but their bench was very strong for that run.00:46:27.403 --> 00:46:30.898


So you know, there's a little bit of truth to both of those.00:46:30.898 --> 00:46:32.802


I think we can all agree.00:46:32.802 --> 00:46:36.208


The nuggets are a team nobody wants to face, true?00:46:36.208 --> 00:46:39.059


I don't think you want to face them.00:46:39.340 --> 00:46:41.405


We will face them Okay.00:46:41.405 --> 00:46:42.288


We'll face them.00:46:43.275 --> 00:46:44.199


I just better use it.00:46:46.177 --> 00:46:47.201


Who's going to guard Joker?00:46:47.201 --> 00:46:49.101


We got Looney.00:46:49.101 --> 00:46:52.103


We got Quentin Post.00:46:52.103 --> 00:46:53.481


He's in the center.00:46:53.481 --> 00:46:55.481


We got some guys that can play some.00:46:55.481 --> 00:46:59.675


We even got Kaminga can even come in there, draymond.00:46:59.675 --> 00:47:00.836


They're smaller but they can.00:47:00.836 --> 00:47:01.478


We even got Kaminga.00:47:01.478 --> 00:47:02.298


Can even come in there, draymond.00:47:02.298 --> 00:47:03.159


They're smaller but they can.00:47:03.159 --> 00:47:07.443


You know, if Looney and Post are on the bench, we have those guys that can get aggressive.00:47:07.864 --> 00:47:13.371


We're calling this the closest MVP race we've seen for a reason and again, I'm not close.00:47:13.371 --> 00:47:16.036


No, all right, listen.00:47:16.036 --> 00:47:19.998


Obviously that man had a 60-point triple-double Like.00:47:19.998 --> 00:47:21.976


That's not okay as a center.00:47:21.976 --> 00:47:23.380


That's not.00:47:23.380 --> 00:47:25.246


He's putting up wilt numbers.00:47:25.246 --> 00:47:26.077


This is not.00:47:26.077 --> 00:47:27.641


He's becoming mythical.00:47:27.641 --> 00:47:28.565


This is not okay.00:47:28.565 --> 00:47:33.800


So I would say you always got to worry about what he can do, and this is as a Lakers fan.00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:37.144


Trust me, I am traumatized by this man for the past two years.00:47:37.594 --> 00:47:46.782


I know exactly what it is like when he hits the most ridiculous three-point shot you've ever seen at the end of a clock, at the key part of the game.00:47:46.782 --> 00:47:48.199


So that's why I'm like.00:47:50.704 --> 00:47:55.300


We beat the Nuggets on the road to winning the NBA championship three years ago.00:47:56.175 --> 00:47:57.239


That was a long time ago.00:47:57.239 --> 00:47:58.585


That was a long time ago.00:47:58.585 --> 00:48:00.077


Speaking of the Warriors, jokic was.00:48:00.197 --> 00:48:01.101


MVP that year.00:48:01.536 --> 00:48:03.914


Speaking of Warriors, shout out to my wife, your mom.00:48:03.914 --> 00:48:09.143


She just put a comment on there upping you about the Warriors, so she's the biggest Warriors fan.00:48:09.143 --> 00:48:17.835


So shout out to you, baby, and a shout out to Meshika Trey, everybody, and also Professor Lou Thompson.00:48:17.835 --> 00:48:21.905


We're going to see you in a couple weeks, so we can't wait to talk about Dallas with you.00:48:21.905 --> 00:48:27.876


Okay, how?00:48:27.896 --> 00:48:28.615


about we got one more.00:48:28.615 --> 00:48:29.936


One more before we move on to NFL Cavs.00:48:29.936 --> 00:48:36.601


Yep, you know, I might shock some people when it comes to winning the MGA championship Cap, because like.00:48:36.601 --> 00:48:42.746


I got to see more from Garland, from Garland and all their supporting cast.00:48:42.746 --> 00:48:44.067


I know Mitchell's going to show up.00:48:44.067 --> 00:48:48.590


It's just like I don't know if Garland's going to show up in the playoffs, like Eastern Conference Finals.00:48:48.590 --> 00:48:50.351


They're playing the Celtics in Boston.00:48:50.351 --> 00:48:53.052


I don't know if he's going to step up like honestly.00:48:53.893 --> 00:48:56.956


All right, okay, all right, that's the same thing.00:48:56.956 --> 00:49:07.525


Because, again, boston's experience is the looming thing here, and I know that you want to talk about like well, boston shoots too many threes, but there's some games where they're like, hey, it's not working.00:49:07.525 --> 00:49:09.146


Jalen Brown, jason Tatum, go to work.00:49:09.146 --> 00:49:20.443


And when you have the option, you have those players who've been in those big high leverage moments time and time and time again, especially because they feel disrespected off of the you know, especially the Olympics.00:49:20.443 --> 00:49:22.347


I was like, oh, the Celtics won the championship.00:49:22.347 --> 00:49:26.300


We didn't even know like that that's that, that's a chip on your shoulder, I feel.00:49:26.514 --> 00:49:39.907


So we're going to see you know, commissioner Adam Silver needs to put a rule in and let DiVincenzo, once the once the Timberwolves are eliminated, they need to let him go back to the Knicks.00:49:39.907 --> 00:49:40.916


Yes, so they can.00:49:40.916 --> 00:49:42.739


Once the Timberwolves are eliminated, they need to let him go back to the Knicks.00:49:42.739 --> 00:49:45.947


Yes, please, so they can face off against the Celtics, because I would love to see that.00:49:45.947 --> 00:49:47.851


Oh my goodness, oh man.00:49:49.376 --> 00:49:50.179


I would love to see that.00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:51.019


He's clearly not happy about that.00:49:51.019 --> 00:49:51.981


Oh man, I know, I know.00:49:51.981 --> 00:49:53.987


Oh man, that's rough, that's rough.00:49:53.987 --> 00:49:58.659


So actually so crazy, Actually so okay.00:49:58.659 --> 00:50:03.385


One last one Timberwolves Are they dangerous at all?00:50:03.967 --> 00:50:05.068


Nah, really not.00:50:05.068 --> 00:50:06.190


You're not concerned about Timberwolves.00:50:06.210 --> 00:50:11.985


No cat, they're not the same, they literally took away the only thing that was able to beat Jokic.00:50:11.985 --> 00:50:13.902


That's the most irritating thing.00:50:13.902 --> 00:50:19.590


I'm just mad with the Timberwolves in general this week, so we're going to leave it at that.00:50:19.610 --> 00:50:22.402


All right, okay, all right, sounds good.00:50:22.402 --> 00:50:24.882


Well, let's move on to NFL.00:50:24.882 --> 00:50:32.594


Okay, so with the NFL, you guys again rocking the Diego army, carolina Panther theme shirts.00:50:32.594 --> 00:50:35.581


You can get those at the pick them proscom.00:50:35.581 --> 00:50:36.925


Check that out.00:50:36.925 --> 00:50:41.271


Matter of fact, I'm sure y'all I'm going to show y'all I'm saying check out this, check out that there.00:50:41.271 --> 00:50:44.257


Oh yeah yeah, look at us rocking the Pick'em Pro gear.00:50:44.257 --> 00:50:45.983


Get your merch right now.00:50:45.983 --> 00:50:51.943


We got the retro hoodies, tees, all of that, so you can go classic or retro.00:50:51.943 --> 00:50:57.797


We now have it in all different colors so you can get your favorite colorway and rep any team that you want.00:50:57.797 --> 00:51:02.081


So go to vpick'emproscom and get your merch All right.00:51:02.081 --> 00:51:03.862


So just wanted to plug that Now.00:51:03.862 --> 00:51:12.911


With that said, carolina Panthers, they have the number eight pick in the draft in a couple of weeks, diego, what should the Panthers do?00:51:15.795 --> 00:51:17.608


I think the Panthers should take Teterula McMillan with the eighth overall pick.00:51:17.608 --> 00:51:18.574


The receiver from Arizona.00:51:18.574 --> 00:51:19.179


He had a monster year there.00:51:19.179 --> 00:51:20.469


Looking like the best receiver pick the receiver from Arizona.00:51:20.469 --> 00:51:21.195


He had a monster year there, okay.00:51:21.195 --> 00:51:27.436


Looking like the best receiver prospect in the draft Okay, yeah, he's got that.00:51:27.436 --> 00:51:32.063


Mike Evans build about 6'4", like 220 or something.00:51:32.063 --> 00:51:35.228


Okay, I think we should draft him.00:51:35.228 --> 00:51:36.831


Okay, get a weapon Okay.00:51:38.099 --> 00:51:39.603


So he's got that Leggett build.00:51:39.603 --> 00:51:42.844


I think I'd rather say Leggett than yeah.00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:46.605


He can catch the ball, oh, okay.00:51:48.858 --> 00:51:50.335


And run, but Leggett had a wrist.00:51:50.335 --> 00:51:51.862


His wrist, yeah, he had a wrist injury.00:51:51.862 --> 00:51:53.900


It's okay, he'll be back.00:51:55.336 --> 00:51:58.838


I would just let Diego think about the Eagles game.00:51:58.838 --> 00:52:00.003


Man, I don't want him to.00:52:00.003 --> 00:52:05.101


We might have to take him off camera, because that's just the wound's still fresh.00:52:05.456 --> 00:52:08.922


Yeah, I can't even talk about Luget, yeah that's a little rough.00:52:09.242 --> 00:52:27.411


Okay, I would say I would want either Jalen Walker or Tet, because I think that we still need that star player on defense, because again, losing Shaq Thompson and we still have derrick brown and jc, but we need another guy on defense to really, like you know, set the tone.00:52:27.411 --> 00:52:33.065


And I would just say, get a wide receiver early, like second, would be the better move.00:52:33.065 --> 00:52:46.025


Okay, if we don't, if we're not able to get that, because we just need, like again, a young, a good, another younger I'd receive, because again, legatee hands were a disaster and plus, with Jalen Coker coming on, adam Thielen is getting older.00:52:46.025 --> 00:52:49.686


So that's why I'm like I don't think we should keep relying on Adam Thielen.00:52:49.686 --> 00:52:53.221


And again, there were some games where I was like, okay, he turned back the clock all of a sudden.00:52:53.275 --> 00:52:54.822


I don't know, what got into him.00:52:54.822 --> 00:52:57.896


But I don't know if we can consistently trust that.00:52:57.896 --> 00:52:59.097


I don't know if we can consistently trust that you feel me.00:52:59.097 --> 00:53:06.063


So that's why I would say if we're not able to get Ted, take Jalen Walker and then get a wide receiver in the second round, okay.00:53:06.583 --> 00:53:07.704


Yeah, Me personally.00:53:07.704 --> 00:53:16.072


I'm like if we draft a receiver early second round, we're getting another Leggett and another Xavier Leggett is not going to make a difference for us, I'm sorry.00:53:16.072 --> 00:53:22.644


So if we're going to get a receiver, I want to either get one with the eighth overall pick or just trade for somebody.00:53:22.644 --> 00:53:23.807


Just trade for somebody.00:53:24.235 --> 00:53:26.063


Hey, I have a great idea, guys.00:53:26.063 --> 00:53:28.221


This will help you a whole lot.00:53:28.221 --> 00:53:30.981


I think you should draft Travis Hunter.00:53:31.842 --> 00:53:33.126


I don't think we can how.00:53:33.715 --> 00:53:34.599


Where is he going to be?00:53:34.599 --> 00:53:35.623


He's going to be gone.00:53:38.458 --> 00:53:42.106


Like the man is literally like he can play two positions at the highest level.00:53:42.106 --> 00:53:43.516


You know what I forgot?00:53:43.516 --> 00:53:45.764


Y'all won a bunch of meaningless games at the end.00:53:45.985 --> 00:53:47.438


Yes, those were worth it.00:53:47.438 --> 00:53:48.722


My bad, my bad, I totally.00:53:48.722 --> 00:53:49.813


We don't need Travis Hunter.00:53:49.813 --> 00:53:51.481


We don't even want Travis Hunter.00:53:51.681 --> 00:53:54.563


Okay, shoot it was good for him around, that he scored five touchdowns.00:53:54.563 --> 00:53:56.500


But then I remembered oh, now we're picking eight.00:54:02.315 --> 00:54:02.561


It was like oh, we got a quarterback down the day.00:54:02.431 --> 00:54:03.813


I would rather Bryce Young have those big games than us get Travis Hunter.00:54:03.813 --> 00:54:05.427


We don't want or need Travis Hunter.00:54:05.568 --> 00:54:05.929


We're good.00:54:05.929 --> 00:54:07.384


Alright, we're good.00:54:07.384 --> 00:54:08.010


Who don't want?00:54:08.052 --> 00:54:10.112


or need Travis Hunter he don't speak for me.00:54:10.112 --> 00:54:11.552


We don't need Bryce Young he don't speak for me.00:54:11.795 --> 00:54:12.898


We don't need Travis Hunter.00:54:12.898 --> 00:54:14.514


We're going to get the guy what's his name?00:54:14.514 --> 00:54:14.835


From.00:54:14.896 --> 00:54:15.757


Arizona.00:54:15.757 --> 00:54:18.681


If you watch the college football you would know.00:54:18.681 --> 00:54:23.230


You don't even know the top, but I didn't go quite that deep in college football.00:54:23.355 --> 00:54:26.438


So you know I like my college football at the.00:54:26.438 --> 00:54:33.349


You know Texas, you know Ohio State, you know Michigan, colorado.00:54:33.349 --> 00:54:35.420


That level I didn't really go to.00:54:35.420 --> 00:54:36.954


Yeah, you went a little, you.00:54:36.954 --> 00:54:39.815


You went division four on me on that I didn't.00:54:39.856 --> 00:54:42.103


He beat Colorado, he did.00:54:42.123 --> 00:54:45.139


He beat Colorado he mocked Travis Hunter in the end zone?00:54:45.139 --> 00:54:46.704


No way, yeah, he did.00:54:46.704 --> 00:54:47.606


There's a clip.00:54:47.606 --> 00:54:49.302


We're going to have to pull the clip over that.00:54:49.322 --> 00:54:50.347


We're going to have to pull the clip.00:54:50.347 --> 00:54:51.514


We're going to have to see that.00:54:52.155 --> 00:54:53.681


Then Travis might have even fell to the ground.00:54:53.681 --> 00:54:54.262


Now you know what.00:55:01.974 --> 00:55:03.813


I don't want to maybe spill the tea here, but in our new studio we may be able to show that.00:55:03.813 --> 00:55:08.335


So just a little tease of what may be coming in a couple of months.00:55:08.335 --> 00:55:11.521


So yeah, we're going to have, if you like, this.00:55:11.521 --> 00:55:14.295


Just wait until you see us in a couple months.00:55:14.295 --> 00:55:16.440


Man, this thing's going to be looking like NFL Network.00:55:16.440 --> 00:55:18.677


Oh, my goodness, you are not ready for that.00:55:18.677 --> 00:55:20.336


All right, let's bring Br.00:55:20.336 --> 00:55:20.579


All right?00:55:20.579 --> 00:55:26.001


Well, let's let's uh bring brie back and let's uh talk a little more nfl.00:55:26.001 --> 00:55:26.942


What's going on, brie?00:55:27.443 --> 00:55:29.525


hi all right, hey, hey.00:55:29.525 --> 00:55:38.219


So, uh, you know, uh, your boy, we like to say this when we're talking about someone that's clearly not your boy, your boy, aaron rogers.00:55:38.219 --> 00:55:41.246


Um, a lot of drama going on.00:55:41.246 --> 00:55:50.878


Seemed like about two months ago the Steelers and Rodgers had some mutual interest, but they haven't signed anything, at least last I checked.00:55:50.878 --> 00:55:53.824


Unless there's something on the ticker, what's going on?00:55:54.548 --> 00:55:56.882


Yeah, he just needs to retire.00:55:56.882 --> 00:55:59.981


He's taking too long.00:55:59.981 --> 00:56:06.373


I don't know what he's doing, but he needs to retire because I mean he's not good anymore.00:56:06.373 --> 00:56:08.413


I mean last season with the Jets really proved it.00:56:08.413 --> 00:56:11.893


I mean he looked like he was out of it all the time.00:56:11.893 --> 00:56:12.735


So it's just weird.00:56:12.735 --> 00:56:16.775


He needs to say goodbye to the career.00:56:16.775 --> 00:56:19.731


He probably wants to go out with a bang, though, but he hasn't even signed with anyone.00:56:19.731 --> 00:56:20.574


So it's weird.00:56:20.574 --> 00:56:30.177


I don't know what they're doing, but he was seen throwing with DK's cap, so maybe, but I don't know, yep yep with DK's cap, so maybe, but I don't know.00:56:30.197 --> 00:56:31.780


Yep, that is true.00:56:31.780 --> 00:56:36.286


Yeah, it's kind of like what we were saying before something too good to be true.00:56:36.286 --> 00:56:38.012


It is, and here it is.00:56:38.012 --> 00:56:45.353


If the Jets cut you, I don't know if.00:56:46.813 --> 00:56:47.764


Ooh, let's go get that guy.00:56:47.764 --> 00:56:49.612


Yeah, I've never seen that before.00:56:50.728 --> 00:56:52.969


They thought they were going to the Super Bowl with him.00:56:52.969 --> 00:57:03.173


Even after the Achilles tear they were like, oh, we just needed him back and we're going to the Super Bowl, traded Devontae Adams, his best buddy, to that team.00:57:03.173 --> 00:57:09.271


They still were like we're going to trade Devontae and we're going to cut you.00:57:09.954 --> 00:57:12.693


Yep, that's crazy Brought in Justin Fields.00:57:13.465 --> 00:57:14.590


Brought in Justin Fields.00:57:16.489 --> 00:57:17.413


This is an indicator.00:57:17.413 --> 00:57:19.690


You got to go, man.00:57:20.445 --> 00:57:21.871


That's when stuff starts to get bad.00:57:21.871 --> 00:57:24.813


The backup for the Steelers yeah, we're not even going, yeah.00:57:26.304 --> 00:57:27.668


Drop the mic on that.00:57:27.668 --> 00:57:34.239


Yeah, the Jets said, no, that's all right, we'll go with Justin, we'll get the backup for the Steelers yeah.00:57:34.239 --> 00:57:35.628


But you have to steal.00:57:35.648 --> 00:57:39.730


We're basically going to get your backup Right, someone that's not even as good as your backup.00:57:39.730 --> 00:57:42.577


Yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense yeah.00:57:51.824 --> 00:57:53.594


I think, the Steelers would be better off with Trubisky at this point.00:57:53.635 --> 00:57:54.077


I don't know.00:57:54.077 --> 00:57:55.483


I mean, all the quarterbacks never throw a pick six.00:57:55.483 --> 00:57:56.271


Really, yes, weirdest stat ever.00:57:56.271 --> 00:57:58.288


He's the only quarterback playing actively who's never thrown a pick six.00:57:58.288 --> 00:58:00.492


Mitchell Trubisky Wow, that's crazy.00:58:00.492 --> 00:58:04.014


He throws every other interception in the world but not a pick six.00:58:04.505 --> 00:58:06.072


That is a wild stat, Bree.00:58:06.072 --> 00:58:08.353


Did we miss you?00:58:09.144 --> 00:58:11.552


Oh, I just said Kyler Murray would be good on the Steelers.00:58:12.755 --> 00:58:17.594


Oh man, yeah, now he would be phenomenal, because I still believe in Kyler Murray.00:58:17.594 --> 00:58:18.518


Yeah, yes.00:58:19.186 --> 00:58:21.273


I believe in Kyler Murray no steps.00:58:21.867 --> 00:58:28.311


I am a Kyler Murray fan, for sure, so I'm surprised, bree, you've given up on Kyler.00:58:28.664 --> 00:58:34.452


Right, he's been on the team for years and he hasn't done anything but it's not him.00:58:34.532 --> 00:58:41.413


He doesn't he, he doesn't have enough help then he would do something it's not him now.00:58:41.413 --> 00:58:43.177


Now, okay, he's got now will.00:58:43.177 --> 00:58:46.007


Hernandez, of course, is great, so he's got help there.00:58:46.007 --> 00:58:50.498


All right that that's our guy, but besides that, he needs more help.00:58:52.065 --> 00:58:54.554


Maybe if he got more help, then I'd be persuaded.00:58:54.554 --> 00:58:57.612


We'll see how this season goes.00:58:58.125 --> 00:59:01.112


Okay, all right, yes, yes, definitely, definitely.00:59:01.112 --> 00:59:03.965


So, hey man, arch Manning.00:59:03.965 --> 00:59:06.869


Yeah, arch Manning would be great, would be great yeah.00:59:06.869 --> 00:59:09.190


Anywhere would definitely take him.00:59:09.190 --> 00:59:18.259


So all right Now, Bree, you had mentioned, as we're preparing for the show you were talking about, I think it was DK, DK, Metcalf.00:59:18.259 --> 00:59:20.570


Yeah, what did you find out about him?00:59:21.144 --> 00:59:23.373


Yeah, he didn't even want to go to the Sears the first time.00:59:23.373 --> 00:59:28.215


Wow, yeah, which I read about that, but you never know.00:59:28.215 --> 00:59:31.268


I mean sometimes fake news out there, but pretty sure.00:59:31.268 --> 00:59:49.581


And then, um, the panthers, they showed interest in him too, wanted him, but they were never going to get him.00:59:49.581 --> 00:59:50.581


It's the Panthers.00:59:51.606 --> 00:59:54.215


We could have just traded one of the young guys.00:59:54.746 --> 00:59:55.730


That shot wasn't necessary.00:59:55.750 --> 00:59:56.713


We could have done it.00:59:56.713 --> 01:00:03.791


I mean, I know we, I don't know they didn't decide to go to the Steelers, but it happened.01:00:05.606 --> 01:00:07.590


If we didn't pay JC he should have come to Carolina.01:00:07.590 --> 01:00:09.003


We would have had the money to get it.01:00:09.085 --> 01:00:14.583


We've got great weather we have Bojangles we have Bojangles.01:00:14.827 --> 01:00:18.945


There's no Bojangles in Pittsburgh oh, bri, you didn't get Bojangles.01:00:18.945 --> 01:00:21.465


You know, next time you gotta get Bojangles when you're here next time.01:00:21.525 --> 01:00:28.831


I think I've had it when I lived in the south when I was little, but I don't remember if you were in ATL, you definitely had Bojangles.01:00:28.831 --> 01:00:33.586


Yeah, I don't remember, though I was like that's all right, okay, all right, we'll have to.01:00:33.606 --> 01:00:35.112


We'll have to, yeah get that back.01:00:35.164 --> 01:00:39.188


Yeah, but it's weird about DK because there's so many other teams that he could have went to.01:00:39.188 --> 01:00:50.461


Yeah, so I'm actually isn't going to be their quarterback, maybe I don't know, we'll see, because I don't want to play with him.01:00:52.309 --> 01:00:58.074


Hopefully, once the draft takes place in a couple of weeks, then we'll get a little more clarity on what's going to happen.01:00:58.885 --> 01:00:59.648


Keeps me up at night.01:00:59.648 --> 01:01:00.208


I need to know.01:01:00.469 --> 01:01:02.153


Yeah, we'll see.01:01:02.153 --> 01:01:04.827


All right, bree Well.01:01:04.827 --> 01:01:31.358


Again appreciate you, and we'll be looking out for the next set of interviews, including the one that you just did with Will Hernandez thank you for having me we'll see you soon alright alright, yeah, man could have had DK could have had DK man of all the free agency signings of01:01:31.458 --> 01:01:36.405


all the free agency signings, right, knowing we needed a wide receiver, we didn't get one.01:01:36.405 --> 01:01:39.581


Alright, listen, we better get tat now, now.01:01:39.581 --> 01:01:40.204


Now it's serious.01:01:42.016 --> 01:01:45.012


That's what I was saying you guys were trying to defend jc.01:01:45.012 --> 01:01:46.289


This is all because of that.01:01:46.289 --> 01:01:47.253


We don't have enough money.01:01:47.253 --> 01:01:48.788


So let's, uh, we got, uh we're almost to defend.01:01:49.208 --> 01:01:49.429


JC.01:01:49.429 --> 01:01:51.132


This is all because of that.01:01:51.132 --> 01:01:52.012


We don't have enough money.01:01:52.012 --> 01:01:52.634


So let's we got.01:01:52.634 --> 01:01:54.317


We're almost out of time here, hey, brandon.01:01:54.317 --> 01:01:58.713


When you get it well, actually, you know what, when we bring you on, you can tell us about the.01:01:58.713 --> 01:01:59.400


You can update us on the game.01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:01.251


So we'll get an update when you come on in a second, brandon.01:02:01.251 --> 01:02:08.534


But let's just finish up with Shador, Sanders and the Cowboys drama, and then also the Patriots.01:02:08.534 --> 01:02:10.039


So let's start with Shador.01:02:10.039 --> 01:02:12.231


Where do you think Shador is going, diego?01:02:17.690 --> 01:02:21.291


I think the Browns I guess I mean the Browns need someone.01:02:21.291 --> 01:02:26.909


I'd say that's who they should take, but he might slide.01:02:26.909 --> 01:02:27.692


You'll never know.01:02:28.807 --> 01:02:35.117


Maybe Giants, maybe to the giants, okay one of those two teams you think so there, you don't see him going past the third pick.01:02:35.117 --> 01:02:39.400


I think he'll be, I can see it okay I can, I can really.01:02:39.519 --> 01:02:41.365


I'm really wouldn't be shocked with anything.01:02:41.365 --> 01:02:45.697


Okay, the giants, but I wouldn't be shocked to him sliding either what about you?01:02:45.905 --> 01:02:46.646


is there any chance?01:02:46.646 --> 01:02:49.413


Your door slides past three I think so.01:02:49.572 --> 01:02:52.059


But I would say the giants quarterback room.01:02:52.059 --> 01:02:54.724


I feel like they're like trying to get again.01:02:54.724 --> 01:02:57.351


It's very messy with jamis and russell wilson.01:02:57.351 --> 01:03:07.570


I would say they're trying to do the hey, let's have you sit, watch these two guys really do their thing and then bring in because I think that would be the better way to operate.01:03:07.570 --> 01:03:15.445


Yeah, because again, jamis win, Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson in the big 2025 as your quarterbacks, especially in that division.01:03:15.445 --> 01:03:18.755


And you know, this is Brian Dable's like last shot with the Giants.01:03:18.755 --> 01:03:21.153


He definitely wants to, you know, go out on top.01:03:21.153 --> 01:03:24.534


So I would say, if the Browns don't get him, it would definitely be the Giants.01:03:24.534 --> 01:03:32.755


Okay, and yeah, I just I don't know If be the Giants, I don't know If he somehow by some miracle winds up on the Raiders, that would be cool.01:03:32.755 --> 01:03:35.893


That would be really cool because, again, Tom Brady's his mentor and all that stuff.01:03:37.094 --> 01:03:43.492


I have a feeling, I definitely have a feeling he ends up on the Raiders, for whatever reason.01:03:43.492 --> 01:03:48.715


That's part of the reason why I picked them to be a Gino just signed a two-year extension, though.01:03:49.784 --> 01:03:50.628


Oh, gino, did he, did.01:03:50.628 --> 01:03:51.934


He just signed a two-year extension.01:03:52.791 --> 01:03:53.844


Ah yeah, they might not do that.01:03:53.844 --> 01:03:54.748


Yeah, I don't know.01:03:54.748 --> 01:03:56.166


Depending on the terms of the contract.01:03:56.206 --> 01:03:59.331


Pete Carroll really likes Gino he does.01:03:59.371 --> 01:03:59.813


That's right.01:03:59.813 --> 01:04:01.130


That's right.01:04:01.130 --> 01:04:03.391


They have Carroll Also if he goes to the Giants.01:04:04.547 --> 01:04:09.338


I don't think he should start right away, because they don't have a good O-line, it would be, like Bryce Young on the Panthers.01:04:09.338 --> 01:04:11.572


The type of rookie year.01:04:12.447 --> 01:04:13.369


Yeah, that's a great point.01:04:13.369 --> 01:04:16.614


What about Cowboys?01:04:16.614 --> 01:04:19.773


Your boy, jerry Jones, and Michael Parsons?01:04:19.773 --> 01:04:26.166


Do they sign them right before the season starts, as they always do?01:04:26.166 --> 01:04:31.155


Yeah, yes, okay, typical Jerry negotiations.01:04:31.646 --> 01:04:32.347


On this defense.01:04:32.347 --> 01:04:34.393


There isn't another Michael Parsons walking through that door.01:04:34.393 --> 01:04:37.972


I'm so serious, jerry, like forgetting the age is safe.01:04:37.972 --> 01:04:43.617


And again, the most annoying thing about the Cowboys is they have all the makings of a great team.01:04:43.617 --> 01:04:50.097


You have a solid quarterback and again, dak, you know whatever you can say about him, he is solid, right.01:04:50.097 --> 01:04:57.329


You have the star wide receiver, you have a good offensive line, you had a good running game and now that's kind of iffy.01:04:57.329 --> 01:05:01.235


But again, with your defense, a bunch of your players were injured.01:05:01.235 --> 01:05:02.630


So that was the excuse last year.01:05:02.630 --> 01:05:10.079


So why wouldn't you pay the guy who is literally like a game-changing defensive player of the year candidate?01:05:10.079 --> 01:05:11.510


That just doesn't make sense to me.01:05:11.510 --> 01:05:14.956


And again, jerry, trying to lowball or just try to see what the market brings.01:05:14.956 --> 01:05:17.833


Listen, mike already said that he wants to go to the Chiefs.01:05:17.833 --> 01:05:19.451


You know if he doesn't get a ring anyway?01:05:19.451 --> 01:05:22.552


So I mean, let's just see it happen earlier.01:05:22.552 --> 01:05:23.737


I guess that would be hilarious.01:05:25.228 --> 01:05:26.753


Yeah, they'll do it at the last minute.01:05:26.753 --> 01:05:27.954


That Chiefs yeah, they'll do it at the last minute.01:05:27.954 --> 01:05:31.539


That's just how the Cowboys and Jerry does business, and they want to be in the headlines.01:05:31.539 --> 01:05:36.847


So this is a perfect way to stay in the headlines all the way through until the season starts.01:05:36.847 --> 01:05:41.871


So it'll be just like all the other negotiations, so it'll be the same thing.01:05:41.871 --> 01:05:43.690


Now, how about?01:05:43.690 --> 01:05:55.961


Last thing here Diggs, stephon Diggs, going to the Patriots, and they also got my guy Holland from the Bills.01:05:55.961 --> 01:06:02.215


Very underrated yes, very underrated Talk about that receiving duo that the Patriots are going to have.01:06:02.215 --> 01:06:05.835


And Coach Rabel, are the Patriots a team to watch out for?01:06:05.855 --> 01:06:13.605


Patriots a team to watch out for man.01:06:13.605 --> 01:06:16.737


If the Patriots draft Ashton Gentry in the draft to get that running back because they don't really have a guy, you got that to go.01:06:16.737 --> 01:06:20.731


With Diggs Holland, the receivers, drake May, he can throw, he can throw.01:06:20.731 --> 01:06:22.733


They got added pieces to their defense.01:06:22.733 --> 01:06:24.471


I think they're a playoff team.01:06:24.471 --> 01:06:28.873


Actually, I think they're my sleeper pick to make the playoffs because I love what they've done in the offseason.01:06:28.873 --> 01:06:29.012


Sp playoff team.01:06:29.012 --> 01:06:30.340


Actually I think they're my sleeper pick for make the playoffs because they I love what they've done in the offseason.01:06:30.559 --> 01:06:52.925


Yeah, spent, spent a lot of money, got the coaching and I like what they're doing there okay, I do think ravel is a very good coach and I really think that these moves are definitely good for you know the flashes that we saw from drake may I just again in a division with the bills, I've really and again, this is like a very sweet division like it ain't it ain't it ain't like nobody else is a world beater in that division.01:06:52.925 --> 01:06:54.411


We're really worried about the jets or dolphins.01:06:54.411 --> 01:06:55.934


They could at least get a wild card spot.01:06:55.934 --> 01:07:06.833


And again, with the afc, you feel me it's not as and again like, because last year it was the first time I've seen that the conferences flipped with how competitive the nfc was compared to AFC.01:07:07.394 --> 01:07:12.574


But like you feel me, this isn't like an awe-inspiring division.01:07:12.574 --> 01:07:18.815


So I really could see the Patriots sneaking out as a wild card team because, again, variable teams, they compete really well.01:07:18.815 --> 01:07:23.135


It's going to be a hard-nosed, smash-mouth team with again having a quarterback.01:07:23.135 --> 01:07:27.052


I don't want him to be in the Tannehill world because I think Drake May could be better than that.01:07:27.052 --> 01:07:31.659


So just have Drake May, just hit the key throws and you know we could definitely see them make a run.01:07:32.284 --> 01:07:35.036


Okay, yeah, I can definitely see them making a run.01:07:35.036 --> 01:07:38.226


The Steelers always do with their talent level.01:07:38.226 --> 01:07:44.606


I think the Patriots can easily take that slot that the Steelers always seem to take every year.01:07:44.686 --> 01:07:46.329


I'm not even a Drake May fan.01:07:46.329 --> 01:07:48.012


I'm not even a Drake May like fan.01:07:48.012 --> 01:07:49.775


Right, I think they can do it.01:07:49.856 --> 01:07:50.737


Yeah, but yeah.01:07:50.737 --> 01:07:51.699


But I love Holland.01:07:51.699 --> 01:07:56.411


He is such an underrated receiver I don't know why the bills let him go.01:07:56.411 --> 01:07:57.876


Yeah, he is so clutch.01:07:58.005 --> 01:07:59.806


Make a lot of big play yeah.01:07:59.827 --> 01:08:01.429


Great block.01:08:01.429 --> 01:08:02.751


Yes, yes, he's tough.01:08:02.831 --> 01:08:06.056


Walking in bare it and freezing temperatures.01:08:06.076 --> 01:08:08.518


You got to have a crazy person like that.01:08:08.518 --> 01:08:09.420


That's a necessity.01:08:11.769 --> 01:08:13.885


Definitely Alright.01:08:13.885 --> 01:08:15.030


Well, it's almost time to get out of here.01:08:15.030 --> 01:08:17.140


Thank you for rocking with us once again.01:08:17.140 --> 01:08:22.126


Before we go, we've got a fan favorite, brandon Bean, joining us.01:08:22.126 --> 01:08:28.550


To recap what's going on, brandon what's going on?01:08:29.305 --> 01:08:31.148


Hey, alright, man, good to see you.01:08:31.148 --> 01:08:35.234


As always, we've got the Brandon recap here.01:08:35.234 --> 01:08:37.493


We got our three-minute countdown.01:08:37.493 --> 01:08:42.356


So, brandon man, why don't you go ahead and take it away?01:08:42.356 --> 01:08:54.528


First, maybe, give us an update on the South Carolina-Texas game, give us your take on both Final Fours and then just whatever else you want to cover as far as what we talked about from NBA and NFL.01:08:55.390 --> 01:09:00.835


Okay, so South Carolina obviously is up 38-35 at the half.01:09:00.835 --> 01:09:06.530


It's tight, but it's a tight game.01:09:08.045 --> 01:09:20.604


Yeah, but it depends on how Madison Booker does in the second half for this game to go, I felt like Duke would be Houston.01:09:20.604 --> 01:09:22.503


It's probably about double digits.01:09:22.503 --> 01:09:26.792


I think the more tighter game would be Florida and Auburn.01:09:26.792 --> 01:09:36.261


That would be a more tighter game, walter Clay florida and auburn like that would be a more tight game uh walter clayton jr kind of, he's the reason why I'm picking florida to win it all.01:09:36.261 --> 01:09:49.940


Uh-huh yeah, because, like, whatever reason it's like, oh, they're down, we need a bucket yeah, he just raises his hands like I'm here, man like, man Like, and just go crazy, yep.01:09:50.442 --> 01:09:56.775


So there's that, but I think it's time for the Suns to blow it up.01:09:56.775 --> 01:10:01.953


Yeah, maybe, send you know, kd.01:10:01.953 --> 01:10:05.965


I've heard KD could go to Miami, mm-hmm, yep.01:10:05.965 --> 01:10:08.069


Or KD could go to Miami.01:10:08.069 --> 01:10:19.095


Me personally and people might not like this, but I could see KD's best chance would be come full circle and go back to OKC.01:10:19.095 --> 01:10:20.604


Oh for sure, oh yeah.01:10:21.106 --> 01:10:22.212


So there's that.01:10:22.212 --> 01:10:32.711


If they could somehow not include Jalen Williams in the trade to pull it off, they can do it.01:10:32.711 --> 01:10:42.472


That's going to be the only thing, of course, devin Booker, there's only like two teams that could.01:10:42.472 --> 01:10:43.503


I could, legit.01:10:43.503 --> 01:10:49.087


I don't know if the Rockets going to do it because they trust their young core oh yeah, the Rockets, but I don't know if the Rockets are going to do it because they trust their young core.01:10:49.087 --> 01:10:55.837


Oh yeah, the Rockets, but I don't see the Rockets to do it.01:10:55.837 --> 01:11:02.695


So I could see them moving, devin Booker, to the East.01:11:02.824 --> 01:11:10.234


So the only two teams out there would be like either the Pistons, or like the pistons, or like the new york knicks.01:11:10.234 --> 01:11:15.591


Oh, those are the two teams I could see them trying.01:11:15.591 --> 01:11:20.347


Now, pistons probably have the better trade package, because they got a younger core for sure.01:11:20.347 --> 01:11:28.913


So they probably gonna ship them out there, because with new york, yes, you can offer players, but I don't know about their draft picks, yeah.01:11:28.913 --> 01:11:30.117


So that's the thing.01:11:30.117 --> 01:11:35.311


That's why I kind of lean towards the pistons right.01:11:35.311 --> 01:11:40.279


So for is like nil, nil is kind of like.01:11:40.279 --> 01:11:53.164


I think nil helps college sports, because we never had this much contenders on men's and women's and, of course, college football ever.01:11:53.164 --> 01:12:01.262


So I think it, I think parity is good for college sports yeah, okay, okay, no.01:12:01.304 --> 01:12:04.529


Great great takes and great great way to wrap it up.01:12:04.529 --> 01:12:07.667


One thing I will add, though, is we're talking about pick packages.01:12:07.667 --> 01:12:08.271


Who has more picks than OKC?01:12:08.271 --> 01:12:08.554


To wrap it up.01:12:08.554 --> 01:12:12.318


One thing I will add, though, is we're talking about pick packages, who has more picks than OKC?01:12:12.318 --> 01:12:15.311


Yeah, I'm so scared.01:12:15.886 --> 01:12:16.811


Could you imagine?01:12:16.811 --> 01:12:20.346


We got enough problems in the West.01:12:20.346 --> 01:12:22.475


I don't want that added issue.01:12:23.225 --> 01:12:28.666


He's messed up too, many teams so move Kevin Durant aside.01:12:28.666 --> 01:12:32.310


Could they put enough together in OKC to get Booker?01:12:32.310 --> 01:12:36.074


Oh my goodness, Could you imagine that they could get both?01:12:36.095 --> 01:12:38.078


They're good enough to get both.01:12:38.078 --> 01:12:39.158


Oh my.01:12:39.198 --> 01:12:40.261


God, that's greedy.01:12:42.425 --> 01:12:43.954


That's biblical levels of greed, they could get both.01:12:43.954 --> 01:12:44.578


That is a sin.01:12:44.578 --> 01:12:47.636


That is against Kevin.01:12:47.657 --> 01:12:48.319


Durant, I am so sick.01:12:48.319 --> 01:12:49.587


Listen.01:12:49.587 --> 01:12:55.372


That is against so many ethics codes Out of all the trades that need to be nixed.01:12:55.372 --> 01:12:57.974


I understand how crazy the Luka AD one was.01:12:57.974 --> 01:13:00.373


I completely understand why people wanted to nix that.01:13:00.373 --> 01:13:03.414


That one should never be on the table, please no.01:13:04.346 --> 01:13:05.364


Okay, seeing the Warriors.01:13:06.250 --> 01:13:08.563


They already are at 60 with well gonna.01:13:08.582 --> 01:13:16.634


Probably they're right there they could get 70 just like the dynasty years that is too funny.01:13:16.913 --> 01:13:21.914


That's too funny, not at all all right not at all well, we, uh, we're gonna get on out of here.01:13:21.914 --> 01:13:24.404


But uh, hey, brandon man, always a pleasure.01:13:24.404 --> 01:13:27.411


We will see you again soon, my friend, thank you.01:13:27.411 --> 01:13:28.472

Well, yeah, we're going to get ready to get on out of here.01:13:36.476 --> 01:13:38.248
