"From the rich eisen show studio in Los Angeles. I'm not talking to you. I talk to anybody out there, haters. Rich eisen. I talked to the haters right now. And now sitting in for ridge. Here's Brian Weber. Welcome to the program. Great to have you with us on a jam packed Monday ton to get you, but as always, the goal is to be interactive. With the caveat, big word early on on the show, we take phone calls, selectively, 844-204-7424, but I am open to having the conversation with you because rich is always mindful of getting you fully involved. Candidly, your best bet's Twitter, if it's still operational. I just refreshed, yes. The infrastructure is working, BW Weber, Weber would be hopefully you know the name, yes, I'm just that egotistical, perhaps you know the voice because I've been so fortunate to sit in for rich on a variety of occasions. It's a real honor and I focus solely on not destroying the brand he's worked so hard to achieve. Got a lot to get you. Gonna go heavy on the NBA as you might expect. Let me reach over hit the button, countdown to the NBA Finals is underway, but remember it won't tip until next Thursday. That's locked in unless the league realizes probably not great to have a full week off for people to talk about. Oh, I don't know, John morant and other negative stories. So we're going to spend a good portion of this first hour of the program going through the wreckage of a Boston massacre last night on south beach. What has happened to the Celtics? Now, we should give Jimmy Butler, bam adebayo and the rest of the heat, some credit, but you know how it works in sports talk radio. We lean into the negativity and the Celtics have given us a lot of material to work with, just to guess along the way, meaning more opportunities for your voice to be heard, 844-204-7424, and start the tweets coming, BW Weber, Weber would you bees wide open here an hour number one? In fact, we will not bring in another outside voice unless you pick up the telephone until we get to the conclusion of the second hour of the program coming up at one 40 Eastern Time. We'll talk MBA, not only the fallout from that gruesome game for the Celtics, but now has the heat on the cusp of a sweep. We're also going to spend a lot of time coming up in the next hour of the program. Getting a fully lined up for the closeout possibility for the nuggets tonight here in Los Angeles as I come to you from our regal studios furnished by Granger in Southern California will the Lakers show up tonight we'll cover it all with Kurt healin lead NBA writer for NBC sports dot com and then because this is the rich eisen show. I listen every day when I'm in the car or I watch the tremendous visuals, I don't say TV anymore because as you know it's streaming, gloriously on the Roku channel, rich talks hockey, turn on the red light, so we'll spend a little bit of time. I'm not going to devote a huge portion of the final hour of the program, but at two 40 Eastern Time we'll bring in a man who I'm predicting, even though I try my best to come with 5 hours of material gramming into a three hour bag. I only need four questions to get the best out of Pierre Maguire the longtime hockey analyst you saw him ice level for years on NBC. You can see him currently as the postseason has been phenomenal on the ices part of an ensemble show called Stanley Cup central produced by the league on YouTube. 40 minutes from now, we're talking golf. I'm not breaking down stroke by stroke the winning equation that Brooks Koepka utilized to bounce back from his meltdown at the masters and win the PGA Championship as you heard on Westwood one phenomenal coverage as always over the weekend. Koepka taking the wanamaker trophy for the third time, I want to expand our focus. What does that victory mean for the live tour? 20 minutes from now, again, because I know rich wood devote a lot of time to, in my estimation, what was the biggest and most important story over the weekend from historical perspective, the passing of Jim Brown will talk about his life and legacy, and here's a preview, and I'm only 53, not 83, but my gimmick getting into the business a million years ago was I knew history, and yes, I've been replaced by a search engine, AI is coming for my job next, but since this is in my Wheelhouse, not only is Jim Brown the greatest football player of them all, he's in the conversation amongst the short list of the most talented versatile athletes we've ever seen. Brian Webber and for rich, where is rich you might wonder? Well, if you were listening, you heard last week and Susie Schuster, the better half of the eisen household was laying out the itinerary the other day, rich and the entire show are in New York not only a triumph of return to the Big Apple, where rich grew up, but this is a big day for the show, the whole gang in New York City for the sports Emmy Awards tonight, the program nominated again for best studio show making history for the Roku channel and rich because he's too modest to emphasize this also was up for an individual under nominated as best studio host. So that tells you I have a high threshold. I really got to step my game up and I've warning me answered for a couple minutes, but as a villain host, I want to establish we can have the conversation and who I am if you care at all.

"Look for me there, grieving my father finding myself Luke russert, the author is here on the rich eisen show studio set in person here in Los Angeles, California, good to see you again. Thank you so much. Choose love. I see your bills T-shirt. Yeah, they made these up after the terrible mass shooting last year and the team was so integral in the community so I can continue to wear it about a year out from that event and it worked very well with demar Hamlin and everything that happened to the bills, especially with those blizzards last year. So it was a difficult year, the bills did the best they could. I think this next season we're in a much more comfortable, less stressful position. Well, and the attention is on the jets. We'll put a pin in that for a second, because I appreciate you bringing that T-shirt here. I mean, you could have done whatever you wanted. 'cause I didn't see you on any of the rest of your book tour wearing a dress. Dress for the role here. So did you pack that sand? You're gonna come out here. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I appreciate that. Special garbage. So this book has been in the making since your father passed, or no, so I left NBC in 2016 and part of that was you've been gone that long. I have been gone that long. And I wanted to travel because I had felt unfulfilled there, something was amiss, and I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but the idea was, okay, let me just get out of this job for 6 months to a year. And figure things out. And as I traveled, I began to realize that there was two things that I was doing. I was simultaneously looking for something, which was ultimately the acceptance of my father to not necessarily be like him. And then I was running away from something, and that was processing the grief of losing my father. And I had never done that. He died in 2000 8. I went headstrong into the job at NBC covered Capitol Hill for 8 years, working very long hours, enjoyed a lot of it, but at some point I had this conversation with the house speaker John Boehner, completely organically and he goes, what are you doing here? People can be on Capitol Hill for 40, 50, 60 years and never know anything else. You might be well served to get out of the Washington bubble a little bit. And so I did that. But when I started to travel, I realized, wow, I had never processed the grief of losing dad because if I ever did that, I thought I would lose him. I would have to confront that and he would be gone. And through this journey, I took which I write about, I come to realize, no, that's always around, but it takes a long time to get there. What did you mean by what you just said that you would lose him? I think when you lose a father at 22, and you think about oh gosh, if I have to process that, my best friend, my guiding light, is truly, really gone. And I have to focus in on that. He might be gone forever in my mind. And Arrested Development to a degree, because if you think about, oh gosh, 22 year old Luke, if I move away from that kid, then dad is no longer around, literally. And it's an interesting because when I started to then process that in wrestle with that, I come to realize and I talk about this in the book. There's signs everywhere that your father is around. And then I would have conversations with people that said, you know, you can talk to your parents who are gone. You just have to put yourself into that meditative state and listen. And I started to do that. And I go, yeah, he is here. He's around, and it was, it was very heartwarming and moving, but it wasn't easy. And one of the most incredible things is, since this book has been out in the last few weeks, I've had a lot of people reach out to me. Some people in their 70s that have said, you know, Luke, I lost my father, my mom, 50 years ago, and I read this book and I'm now beginning to understand sort of why I was acting the way I was acting. I'm about psychologists or anything. I just sort of wrote my experience, but it's a common one. It's a common thread we have. Well, I lost my dad at age 50. And after he passed and I said something about it here from this chair into this microphone, I heard from everybody. And as you were just alluding to, there is a whole host of a community that I had no idea that existed, Suzy entered that community about a year and a half ago, lost her father. And. It was kind of like I got welcomed to a club that nobody wants to be a part of. It's a sad club. Yeah. But it is also a beautiful thing to hear from people that it's going to be okay. You wrestling with the way that you did. Do you think you would have ever come to grips in the manner in which you are currently coming to grips? Had you stayed in Washington? And I think the tweet you have pinned at the top of your profile about your dad. Is so heartwarming. And in that tweet, you go to a place of vulnerability. And you show emotion. And I had never done that for a long time. I had sort of stored and ignored for a very long time. And when I began to travel, I became comfortable and uncertainty. And those anxieties that I had pretending to losing my father to a heart attack. You sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night, pulsating, being like, I'm going to dive a heart attack just like that. This is awful, this is terrible. But once I started to travel when I became more comfortable, especially in my own skin, I began to be able to listen to the voice of my own head and process things I never had, which had I stayed in that job. I never would have done that because I would have done two things. I would have tried to live up to my father's legacy every single day, which is the duty that you have to do this for dad. And the other thing is I wouldn't have paid attention to my own self in my own health, my own needs, et cetera. So it was deeply impactful to do that. But it's not easy because I think you're a natural inclination is you want to be there for your family. You want to be there for others. And in my case, I realize that going on television that I brought a light for a lot of folks. People would turn it on and say, oh, we see Tim living on through Luke. And I like to do that. I want to make people feel comfortable, but at the end of the day, it was hard to hold on. Is there any part in your travels? Luke russert here. Look for me there, grieving my father finding myself a bestseller currently on The New York Times Best Seller list right here in the rich eisen show. Is there a place in your travel specifically where you first spotted the corner to turn? Yeah, there's two that are very important. So I'll tell you the story. My father passed away at the funeral service when people were processing out of the public memorial at the Kennedy Center. We played somewhere over the rainbow. That was one of his favorite songs. It's my dad to my dad. It's a beautiful song. So as people were processing out, there is this beautiful rainbow in D.C., and that was dad saying hi. And so I've always had an affinity for rainbows. I was going through a difficult time in New Zealand because it was Valentine's Day. And oddly enough, Valentine's Day was a big moment with my father and I, which sounds weird, I'll explain why. I was a chubby kid. And I was a chubby kid and my dad was worried that I wouldn't get any valentines from the girls because I was kind of big when I was younger. And he would send me a Britney spears poster with baby, I love you. Happy Valentine's Day. And some of my favorite Witcher Twix bars. And it was Valentine's Day in New Zealand.

"Live from the rich eisen show studio in Los Angeles. What is your sense of Rogers participation of the spring? He's present and when I say present, I mean he's fully engaged and it's really cool just to watch him operate from play to play and in the way he works. Earlier on the show.

They're either decisive as the Lakers at warriors and heat at Knicks, maybe later on this week, but tonight's games are pivotal because this series pivots on it. Somebody's going to go up three games to do and whoever does that has an 80% chance of winning their series. We'll talk about that with Kenny the jet Smith, who's got a new book out. On his life, that's coming up. 8 four four two O four rich is the number to dial here on the rich eisen show Chris brockman and Mike del tufo in their spots TJ Jefferson in his spot. Give us a call if you want this out. We've got some time for you. But joining us right now on our guest line is the general manager of the Atlanta Falcons, Terry fountain, how you doing, tell you? Rich, I'm great. Always appreciate you having me. Look, speaking of jet, I watched you run this year. Yes, sir. And first of all, it's really cool what you do for saint Jude. Thank you. The money you raise. Thank you. And with the kids that were on the video that really inspiring us so it's really awesome. Thanks. Appreciate that. Now, but as we get to the year, there is. You're getting slower. Because you were a couple of years ago you were subset and I don't know. I don't know if you have a running coach, but your form, there's no gate. It's like you're real tight in the hips and you don't really open up. So what are we doing to get better, man? Well, great question, Terry. Let me take this one at a time. First of all, thank you about the fundraising. Secondly, you seem like a very smart with it individual. So do you think I've got a running coach? Terry? You definitely have a run. You have to have a running coach. All right, let me write that down. No, I do not. And what am I going to do to get better? So you don't prepare, you just show up and run. Yeah, that's what I do. By the way, you sound like my wife right now, okay? That's literally what she's constantly Susie's constantly saying, you got to train, you got to do this. You got to do that. Next year is my 20th run, my 20th. I'm going to trust me. Next year, you're going to see me shooting up your draft board. Next year. Let's get you let's get you a running post. Let's get you in some yoga, some flexibility. Okay. Open up that gate. Let's try to improve. Let's get your best time this year. How about that? I like it. You know what? It needs to be done. Just get Arthur Smith on my case. He strikes me somebody's got some stick to it. You know what I mean? I'm going to do that. He'll get after you. He'll get you going. You know, I kind of felt like Peter schwarze had sometimes in my interviews with him. I feel like I'm boring him. Terry. You know? You're never boring, man. You never listen to a lot of your shows, you're never for. You and Arthur comes on. He gets those zingers in there every now and then on me. Yeah, he gets after you. Does get after me. Let's jump in about your draft. I love bijan Robinson. I thought you should take him. I'm glad that you did. Walk me through your process on taking a running back in this day and age in the top ten of an NFL Draft, Terry Fonda. And really the way we look at it rich is when you're we can have these rules or people can have these rules that you don't take a running back at a certain point or garter at a certain point. You have to take a premium position, but what we say is tell me the player. And who the particular running back to sit in there. And I wanted to be John Robinson who we don't even put in a running back box and when we talk about positionless football and he's an impact offensive player. And wherever he is, wherever you get him the ball, he's a playmaker. He's touched on maker. He's a home run hitter. And he's got the makeup. He's a better person than he is. A player. So we know he's going to reach the ceiling. So we believe he is one of the better players in the draft, one of the better people in his grasp. So we're really excited to pull that card off the board. Now, when did you decide this? When was this sealed? Like, hey, if bijan's there were taken him. When did that happen? What would happen is you go through it and there are 7 variables in front of us. And this was a more unpredictable draft in I can remember in that in that top ten. So we really didn't know if who was going to be there who were going to be staring at what we have to do is we have to stack 8 players and go through it and the questions we ask ourselves is our when we stack the players is, okay, if these three players are there, if these four players there, how do we stack them? So that's what we did. And once we got to our pick, he was the top guy for us and we're excited to take them. And the off the field demeanor as well for him. How does that factor into your equation? It's unbelievable. Have you met him? I have. We've had him on the show, and he's a delight. And I've heard nothing but just great things about him, quite frankly. Yes, and that's so important because our goal here is my job description offer smith's job prescription is to win championships and to have sustained success in order to do that. You have to have championship character. You have to have the right kind of players in the right kind of people. And so we're really excited about a lot of players on our offense as we go through it with Drake London and cow pits and Tyler Alger and CP and John knew and we can keep going through it. We have a lot of players who are really excited about it. But the thing we love about our team is their own selfish. And it's the only step that matters is when it's not about who gets the ball the most or who gets the most yards or who has the most touchdowns on this particular day, it's all about winning. So it is the character is always going to be paramount when we're making any type of player decision. You look at the theme of our off season and look at the free agents that we sign and then as we get into the draft, it we're always going to make a decision on the player character is going to be the most important thing. And so he is a hell of a player, but he's also an unbelievable person. Well, you mentioned Terry about this draft being someone predictable, one of the most unpredictable in recent memory and as somebody who's hosted this thing for a while, I'd agree with you on that front. One of the most unpredictable aspects about the draft that came out in the wash was two running backs chosen in the top 12, like it's a totally different century. I just had Tom telesco on the phone. Your colleague in Los Angeles, who's got one of the top touchdown makers this league has seen in the last couple of years wanting a new contract that the position and he has yet to receive that from the Chargers you've now chosen one of the draft choices in the top 12 on a running back. Are walk me through the way the running back position you think in this league is being evaluated right now. It just depends on it depends

"We're wondering what's going to happen tonight, who the heck knows, I get it, but there's no doubt whatever happened in the beginning of the season is still lingering, right? I mean, we can safely assume that? I think the situation has evolved over the season. I think whereas initially for a couple of months, draymond lost his ability to speak in that locker room. He had to prove himself all over again to that team. But I think as the season has played out, you know, I don't want to say the roles have reversed, but draymond has certainly regained his place as a leader inside that locker room. And Jordan Poole, you know, for whatever reason. So I think most of it's on court, like kind of his lack of production or lack of consistent production on court has diminished him somewhat in the eyes of his teammates. That can change tonight. He could have an efficient 7 for 11 type game and the words could run away with it. It's happened before, but as far as long term, that's definitely something I think will need to be addressed. All right, Chris mannix here on the rich eisen show studios, let's take a break and then we'll come back. We'll talk about the east and then obviously Canelo. You saw that in person what a festival that was over the weekend. We'll take a break at Chris Maddox is here on the rich eisen show studio, don't you dare move Kevin Pollack is also still to come. Back here on the Roku channel a couple minutes, our radio audience will return. You've got a Roberto Duran Panama. Yes, what do you got here? I support all former boxers. Roberto Duran, you know? Does he have his own wares? Is that what it is? It's a website that does a lot of boxing gear. So I buy a lot of boxing stuff from them. Okay. Hands of stone. What's the oldest boxing thing that you have? Oldest boxing thing? Whether it's an item, whether it's an article of clothing, I don't know, I buy older, it's newer clothing from old by a lot of like a lot of Muhammad Ali gear, but it's very recently woven or what's the first fight you covered? First fight I covered was hasim rockman versus James Tony at heavyweight. Now is an Atlantic City. Damn. That was so excited about that fight. I even got locker room access to both guys who I could write my story. And it was dreadful. It was a draw. And it wasn't even a good draw. It was just like one of those draws where it's like, let's all get past this and move on. I once covered, I forgot an aachen one day fight in New York. Henry akin one day. And it got canceled. He got hepatitis. Which also people were translating is there wasn't enough ticket sales so they canceled it. That happens a lot. It came up with hepatitis B. Remember basketball players used to be out with plantar fasciitis. That's the basketball version of the boxing. They were load managing. There wasn't enough of a load of tickets. That was for a version of the heavyweight title that he eventually didn't win because it was a draw. And James Tony was going for that heavyweight title as well. It wasn't good. Back in the day. Chris mannix is here, fresh back from Guadalajara. We're a radio audience is about to join us. We'll talk about Canelo Álvarez and of course the rest of the NBA playoffs. Back here on the rich eisen show radio network sitting at the rich eyes and show desk furnished by Granger with supplies and solutions for every industry Granger is the right product for you. Call click ranger dot com or just stop by. Chris Maddox of Sports Illustrated still here and we'll talk a little bit about boxing. And I know I said we want to talk about the east and we will, but I want to just jump in with what we talked about at the end of the first hour with Chris brockman and the rest giving voice to what so many NBA fans feel about Scott foster. Is the NBA front office aware that fans view Scott foster as not on the up and up in a way. And I'm not saying that he's on the take. I'm just saying that he does what the league wants to do to get the television audience having a 7 game series and stuff like that. Are they aware of this? They're aware of it. Whenever I speak to league officials about that perception, what often I'll get bombarded with are facts and figures. Statistics that show or at least a reference to statistics that show that Scott foster is one of the most accurate referees that they have. And look, whether it's this game 5 with Lakers warriors or the NBA Finals, he's involved in a lot of games. Now fans might say, well, he's involved because the league, he'll do what the league says. And that perception is because of two things, right? One, his previous association with Tim donaghy, you can't wash that away. They were friends. Before donaghy was bounced from the league because of the gambling scandal and the Chris Paul numbers. Like every time Scott foster has officiated at Chris Paul game over the last few years, it's been pointed out time and again, the Chris Paul can't win when Scott foch is out there. So I think this two very high profile connections that have enhanced this perception of Scott foster. I think it's a good referee. I would challenge people to kind of point to multiple specific moments where he gets the call wrong. I don't think he gets it wrong or stop not a word. But I only get it more wrong than other top referees do. Does that help you? Chris? No. But isn't that true though? Don't you always, when you think Scott foster, what do you point to with how he screws it up? Kind of like the NFL, right? You call holding on every play. It's about tone early. Like Anthony Davis is getting 2000 in the first quarter. Okay, but then if he does, then I'll come back here next time and say, you're right, but when you're saying that you're like, Scott foster makes too many bad calls. I need to hear which ones you're talking about. I'm not saying they're bad. You could call a foul on every drive to the hoop. You could call hand check on it. It's just tone. Tell me, tell me which you got to point

"The rich eisen show studio in Los Angeles. Aaron Rodgers was like pointing to everyone in the room was like, do you know who that is? And I think it was like a joke because the kid didn't know anybody. Earlier on the show. New York Jets head coach, Robert sala. Coming up. Senior writer for sports illustrated Chris mannix. From prime videos, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, actor Kevin pollak. And now it's rich eyes. Hour number two of the rich guys in show is on the air 8 four four two O four rich number to dial a great chat with Robert sala head coach of the New York Jets also coming up on this program. Kevin Pollock of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel will be in studio in our number three, by the way, also on the let me get this right. Don Rickles would have been today 97 years old, so obviously we'll go down the casino wormhole and a little bit of the usual suspects with Kevin pollak when he joins us in studio an hour number three, but joining us right here to kick off our number two fresh back from Guadalajara where he watched Canelo light up this guy, joining us here to talk about the association as well, which he also covers for Sports Illustrated as Chris Maddox. Good to see you. Good to see you, Richard. How are you, brother? Good. Getting by. Okay, so were you in flight when jokic? No, I was back. I got back early on Sunday, so I got to watch the Celtics and the sixers and then whatever happened in Denver with jokic niche video. Wild, I'm just waiting to see what the NBA rules on this. It's probably come later today, how they decide to adjudicate all this because there's a couple of different ways you can go. Number one, you have to look at jokic and put aside the fact that it was Matt ishbi. 99 times out of a hundred if you see a player interact with a fan in the way jokic did some kind of suspension is coming. Now, there were mitigating circumstances. You had Matt HBS seemed to make contact first. It was Matt ishbi, the owner of the sons, who kind of held onto the ball, a little bit too long. Not kind of. He flat out like, I was saying at the top of the show, if he was back on the Spartan bench, the possession arrow at him pointing in the direction of the suns. But I can tell you this. And this goes back, go back a little bit further to take it to zoom out a bit. When draymond green got suspended, most of it was because of the stop that he did to domas sabonis. But part of it was how he incited the crowd afterwards. That was taken into account when the NBA made his decision. Adam silver was sitting right there in Sacramento watching the whole thing and draymond was shouting at the crowd interacting with the crowd. The biggest fear in the league office is a repeat of the malice in the palace. Got it. Like that is on the mind of everyone over there when you have crowd interaction. So the fact that jokic, elbowed someone, putting aside their dispute. The fact that the elbow somewhere in the crowd, I think there's going to be a lot of conversation today in Olympic tower in New York about how to punish him. My gut is find something like nothing that takes yoga shot of the game, but this is going to be a tough call, rich. I'm telling you, it's going to be very tough one. And I understand that he even admitted it was a fan. He didn't know it was the son's owner governor. And so it doesn't matter, just the whole concept is that somebody in street clothes was there and received an elbow from him and you can't make contact with that. But his point is right. His right hand was on his small of his back and then he held on to the basketball, which is still not reasonable. But he's trying to get the game going again. He's situationally in the moment of the game where he's going to grab the ball from the fan, hand it to the official and see if he can get a 5 on four brake going. I get his argument. I understand what he's trying to say. Even if he had grabbed the ball, the referee still has to hold it and the referee is not restarting play until Joshua kogi is like functional and away from the crowd. So it wouldn't have been a 5 on four break. I thought it would have been more explainable if there was a nuggets player that had fallen to the crowd. If yoke is just going in there trying to protect his team, I think that would have worked more in his favor. But the fact that he just wanted to get the possession going again. And as part of that, he elbowed someone in the crowd. It's just not a good look. It's not a good look for Nikola Jokić, and I'm telling you, there are going to be, there are going to be people inside the league office that are pro suspension when they have this discussion. Suspension would be game 5 in a series where they've made it. Wow, I'll be honest. Suspension would be unacceptable. Frankly, I thought that I understand, and I totally understand, look, I've been an NFL employee for 20 years. So I understand the way a league and league management looks at things when it involves a fan or the NFL doesn't have fan contact issues pretty much because fans are in the stands. This is a sport where there are fans who are truly one step away from having somebody sitting in their lap. I totally understand the malice in the palace. I get it. You can not suspend yoga. And I understand that he made contact with a fan, fine him if you want, but the question is, what do they do about it? He can't hold onto the basketball like he owns it. Like, come on. And I know he's new to the league, but he's not new to basketball. Let me ask you this. Would a suspension for Nikola Jokić be more outrageous to you than the suspension to draymond green? A 1 million %. I'm not sure it would be that much more outrageous. Why? Because the elbowed to someone in the crowd. And let's say that wasn't mad ashby. Let's say that's a intoxicated fan of the Phoenix Suns who takes an elbow and comes back and throws a haymaker at Nikola Jokić. The fact that it didn't lead to a uglier incident. Yes. I don't think that that makes it any better. I actually think I actually would be less outraged by a jokic suspension than I was over draymond. I came out right away and said, a suspension is outrageous. Bonus grabbed his leg. Draymond stomped on him kinda like it wasn't, you know, I thought grant Williams got stomped on a lot worse by Joel embiid. But I think that a yoga suspension to me would be less outrageous than what happened to draymond. Really? Yes. Even though he touched jokic first,

"Can help you with that if you come here. I mean, fully banking that to know what their defense needs to be dialed up against that guy if they face him. It's not a bad thought it would have to come from a defensive minded coach. Yeah, like that, because you only get so many, right? Like you only get you can bring 30 players to your place. You can only do so many private visits. When you're at the combine and you have your little meeting room, you have a slotted number. You know, I will say every year there are times that quarterbacks that I train, they have a visit with a certain team and I'm like, that's kind of interesting that that team is bringing you in, you know? Like, I wonder why I wasn't assuming that they were going to pick a quarterback in that spot or whatnot. You know, so I do sometimes wonder what it is. The other thing that's surprising is the teams that you assume are picking quarterbacks that don't bring some quarterbacks into their meeting room. And you're like, that's kind of odd I thought for sure they would. So there is definitely a chess game going on. The bigger chess game that I think happens is when teams assume I think teams think we may take a quarterback, we know we're not gonna, but let's bring guys in to do the meetings. Portrayed because if a team assumes that we all the senator are going to take a quarterback, they may try to jump us. Another team might have tried to go get that guy so now we can position ourselves for a trade to add more value to get more picks. So like we know our plan, let's bring some guys in for that. I think sometimes when those meetings are called, sometimes it's just for draft to be able to potentially get more picks. I heard that Broncos didn't never even brought cutler in before the draft. I heard the same story, never talked to him, never did a meeting with him, didn't do a private workout. What the heck, Jim. Yeah. And then they picked him. I know. I tell guys all the time, like, look, like, don't just assume that because these three or four teams are showing you a lot of love that that's where you're gonna end up. Like you don't know what team, I won't without exposing certain teams because I've had this conversation. Yes. Some teams will purposefully not go to the pro day, purposefully not be around the quarterback after the draft because they know they like him and they don't want anybody else to know that they're interested. Well, the colts didn't even have a behalf available in this draft, apparently in their meeting rooms at the combat I heard. Sometimes they do that because they know we're going to bring them to our place. They have informal influence. Just look who we're running into at the hallway, you know? Or they'll set up the ones where they bring the whole group out. Like everybody knows this now, but the colts have been going around to Bryce, CJ, Jaron, those quarterbacks, you know, probably Anthony probably will, where they bring the entire brass, right? It's GM. It's like player personnel. It's offensive coaches. They bring the whole group and boom, boom boom, we're gonna go meet everybody. So why do we need to bring him in at the combine if we know we're gonna go do this? Yeah, it was tepper palooza with all the pro days. The whole Panthers from the tepper family all the way down. They had everybody. They did. If you don't mind, I'm gonna take a break and have one more segment. I appreciate it because you mentioned Zach Wilson and I need a little bit of runway for that. So I've got John Beck right here on the rich eisen show studio, the comedian Steven Wright now are number three. That's next.

"With supplies and solutions for every industry Granger is the right product for you call click ranger dot com or just stop by and look who has stopped by one of my favorites for a long time. I've been a fan of this man who's got his first book out on novel. I'm holding it up here just to prove it exists at Harold by the great Stephen right here in the rich eisen show studio. How are you Stephen? Good to see you. Good rich, how are you? I am doing very, very well. Thanks for having me. Thanks for being here. So I don't know where to just jump in with you. So you are a new englander, correct? That's where you're from originally. From Boston. Massachusetts, a suburb outside in Boston. Okay. So back in the day that would make you a Red Sox fan? Is that what you are? Bobby, you're a bruins day. Like all of that. Tony, can you learn? That's it. 60s, early 70s, early 70s. Jim rice era of the Boston Red Sox. What was your first time you were in February park? Steven. I don't know, my father took us probably it was probably 12 ish. You know, it was still laid back then. He would come home from work. It wasn't even a plan. It was like, oh, let's go to the game. You know, we get in the Volkswagen drive 45 minutes in, I mean, I sound like one of those guys, but it was like, you stood in the bleachers for like $2. Yeah. There's no one you have all this space. It was before they became, you know, even before 67. Sure. When did you try stand up for the first time? When did you realize, okay, were you always funny or you're understated and this was just your personality all the time? Well, this is just how I talk like this, but I was funny with my couple buddies and school. I wouldn't want the classes to make a class laugh. Yeah. But I was just funny with them. And I would watch The Tonight Show all the time with Johnny Carson. My brother was four years older than me. So we had to watch what he wanted. And so I was just watching him. And eventually, you know, everyone would be asleep and we'd be watching Johnny. And then I suddenly hooked in like, see a guy come out and talk about life and all this weird angles, funny reflection of what he experienced and I started to cook into that and then Johnny himself. I loved it. And it became like this magical thing. I really, that's when I was really drawn to it. And I thought, wow. Maybe I would like to do that maybe to be one of those guys, and then speaking of the bruins, so I would listen to the bruins on the radio in bed. In one night I was fooling around with a dial and I stumbled on this comedy show, a guy in Boston. He played two comedy albums every Sunday Night. Two whole albums. So then I hooked into that, so I'm tuning into that like three years and I'm like studying it without knowing it. I'm thinking, oh, I like that guy. Oh, I don't know. So then the tonight show and Carl and then it became like my dream like a kid wants to be a baseball player or an astronaut. And you wanted to be a comic. Yeah. So when did you, when was your first big break? Stephen Wright. When was that? Well, I started doing it when I was 23 and Boston and then the clubs and in Cambridge there was a Chinese restaurant comedy club called the ding Ho comedy club. It was just, you know, the front was like where the audience and everything in the bar and then the back was the Chinese restaurant and someone wrote an article about it because it was such a bizarre situation and for some reason it went in the LA times. I don't know why. And then peer to Sally, who was the producer of The Tonight Show? Sure. He saw the article. And then like 8 months later, he was going to Boston, his kids were going to get out of high school. So they had a stomach trip to look at colleges in New York and Boston and they remembered the club so he called up and he said he was going to go there and he went there and then he saw me and then three weeks later I was on The Tonight Show. On The Tonight Show. It was like a fairytale. So if you didn't do your comedy in a Chinese restaurant, do you think you'd have been discovered, Stephen? I mean, obviously, maybe not as quickly by not as quickly. What the hell was that like for you to be on The Tonight Show three weeks after being in a Chinese restaurant? Didn't what I just said? If that's false, if anything. It's just the way you would spend all day. Three weeks after. You could have said that to Neil Armstrong. Well, you're on the Chinese restaurant. Then you're on the moon. You from column a, one from column Johnny. I mean, my gosh. And back in the day. Yeah. It was real because they just explained how big that show was to me. For all those years. Sure. So then to be on there, it was just magical and I remained friends with Peter all these years, you know? I mean, a lot of my career is done a lot of flukes, a lot of accidents. I mean, I know that I do what I do, but there's other things involved just for something to happen somewhere. You know, like

"Out of here. And that's even after and Ryan has sat in this chair many times. Confirmed that he did, in fact, when the colts asked paint Manning and Ryan leaf the same question, like if we make you the first overall pick, what are you going to do? Peyton said, I'll get in the playbook. I'll do this. I'll do that. And Ryan said, I'm going to go to Vegas and hang with my buddies. After that sort of, if you will, red flag got raised. They still kicked tires all the way to the end. So I understand that the team's grind certainly when it's such an important position. But when you say it's a certain type, the type for Frank Reich is somebody who's over 6 feet. That's the idea. And when I say type, I think if you're going to take the number one pick and you're going to make them, you know, like you have the pick. So you're going to take a quarterback. You don't want to be picking a top ten pick again. Especially for a quarterback, you want to say, this is the guy that we pick at the top that we're going to roll with for a long time. Yes. So I think when you have that, it has to be not only does he fit the body type. And maybe he doesn't. Nowadays I think that more people are open to, it may not be the traditional body type, but a special player. Like if you're going to trade up trade away future first round picks and go pick number one, it's got to be this player that you feel like captivates all of the things that you want in a playmaker. Yes. Especially if you're a team picking at the top. Usually that means that there's some holes. There's a thing you got to shore up. So you got to find a guy that can almost make up for a little bit of that. And that's why to me, like I don't know, like I know a lot of people say that Frank likes the bigger body type, but you can't argue with the ability that Bryce young has to make plays when nothing's there to create. And most teams, most coaches nowadays say I want that guy. I want a guy that I know if things break down. If I don't call the perfect play, who's the guy that can find a way to make a play for me? And I'm not taking anything away from CJ 'cause he does a tremendous job at that as well, but I would say that's almost where a Bryce young thrives in that. Okay. And you made a great statement earlier when I was in the green room where I heard it. Yes, sir. Teams don't want to be picking top again. Like, I think you're a referencing the Seattle Seahawks. Saying, hey, we don't want to be picking this out again. Pete Carroll's literally said to us on the 2nd of March when he called into this. I've heard that from so many teams. So many coaches, not just this year, but in years past, where they say, look, we don't want to be picking top 5. We don't want to be picking top ten again. So we have to look at quarterbacks because if we can get a quarterback at this pick from a money value standpoint, look what we save by not having to go out and sign a high priced veteran. So then how would the concept as forwarded by my buddy longtime friend Adam Schefter who knows quite a bit that he's not sold on the idea that the Texans are going to take a quarterback second overall? How does that notion hit you as somebody who is close to the situation as you are? I would almost bet that they've gone down that path. They have to go down both paths. They have to go down the path that says, okay, what if Carolina chooses quarterback a and we have quarterback B sitting there? Is that the person that we want to pick right now? Or is there somebody else that we can pick? And then that, like you said, opens up the door for Arizona now saying, thank you. Now you just slid quarterback B into our lap, and now all of a sudden, we can send out trade. Now we can move out of that third pick. So, you know, to me, there's like these different notions of like, okay, do we need a quarterback that bad? Or do we need as an organization to take the best player available? And maybe the highest player on their board could be a defensive player, like who knows what it is. Some teams will say, if we're going to be the second pick and we have an opportunity to take a quarterback, let's get him. Because it could be right. And we don't have to overpay. It's not the old years where you got to pay 60 70 million guaranteed. It's not those years anymore, you know? But are we at a position as an organization where we just have to take the best overall player? But you're also talking to the Texans every now and then, obviously, and you were at the pro days. I believe you said Bryce young's pro day, you ran. And Taylor Kelly ran Bryce's from 3D QB. And so that would kind of, I know will Anderson is really special. That's the guy I'm thinking who would cause them to say choice B and a quarterback spot versus will Anderson, maybe we do one over the other. Teams like to talk to me about quarterbacks. And they like to ask about the quarterbacks. Tell me what he's like off the field. Tell me what he's like in the meeting room. Tell me what he was like training on the field. Talk about this, talk about that. Nobody's talking about, here's what we're thinking. Did you ever ask them? No, they always try to pin these things on me. They always try to pin like all right. You're the general manager. Which guy, you know, I'm like, no. I'm two guys at your coach. Happens all the time. Happens all the time. But they kind of do it with a laugh. Like, I know. I know. But they just want to hear something is split moment of clarity that they could or at least view his class. I know and it's funny. I'm like, guys, don't try to put that on me. But I mean, look, I love the conversations. Like when I get an opportunity to talk with teams, I love talking about I love talking quarterbacks. I love talking about both those guys. Yes. CGM Bryce love both those guys. They're special trades to both one of them. But the thing is, is no team ever, ever, ever says, here's what we're thinking. I mean, they are just tight lipped, they're not showing their cards. Of course. Well, I make mccown's not going to say no. Hey, I'll do you solid. I'll tell you. Tell one of your clients to what did he say to Stroud? What do you say to Stroud? No, I heard it was right. It was to Bryce, right? Is there something like that? Somebody said Mike caught something. I think it was to Stroud. He's like, you know, hey, when you come to Charlotte, is that what it was? I mean, look, here's the thing. Like, I'm sure Josh, Josh, is such a good dude, right? And he's just, you know, he's trying to like be cool, help the person feel comfortable. And he probably knows in his situation, right? Like he's not being the one that's going to make the pick. He's going to gather information. He's going to learn what he pound a table. He can pound a table, but if you've been in those situations, you know that like, I mean, I've heard of coaches pounding tables for guys, and that's not the guy that ends up getting picked because you have the upstairs guys, you have the downstairs football guys, you have everybody that's going in on it and you have the owner, right? And a lot of the times at the end of the day, the owner owns the team. The check scratcher has the last, I'm sure those picks when you're picking one and two, it's got to go through. Here's what we think. And they're going to turn over to the owner. And they're going to say, what do you want to do? 3D QB quarterback instructor, John Beck here, and the rich eisen show studio from the combine of the draft

And who's living his best life better than this meant? I mean, this town of Los Angeles, California, heard of it. All weekend long from franny all the way to Monday. Forget about the women's and men's final four for this guy. It was all about wrestling, which he loves. Yeah. And then his sixers beat the Celtics. As MB drops 52. On national television. And then last night. We're ready for the other shoe to drop. Clippers winning ten straight against the Lakers. And then it doesn't matter, right? If the Lakers finally go into the downtown hoops, dojo as the away team and wins that game, they did not. The clippers dropped it on them like it was hot last night. One 25 one 18 final and who's living his best life any better than TJ Jefferson. How's that for a setup? Say hello to you. You're really one of the greatest of all time. I love it in the road. Now I count to you. I count to you as a jet fan. Hey, I'm gonna go to my head. No, I was crowing Super Bowl week, big time. It was a Thursday night. We dominated NFL honors, which was great. I would rather dominate Super Bowl Sunday. That's the one I'd rather dominate. So the final Tuesday and Wednesday of the regular season is not how you need to dominate. But you did come up with a dub, your team came up with a big W last night. Happy in Los Angeles. Friday Saturday Sunday Monday now. It's starting to run. It's like the luck of the Irish only. I'm not Irish, so I can't explain it. It must you must be butter 'cause you're on a roll. Oh, shout out to the man. There you go. I like your Kawhi Leonard fat head. Did you get that at a game? Where'd you get that? I got that from fat. It's been sitting in the studio for like two years. I haven't seen it. Literally. Chris, is this the first time he's busted out? I don't remember this. It hasn't been a lot of clipper things to celebrate. In terms of championships, he's right. How about it? But like I tried to tell you how healthy Kawhi now did not think Kawhi in October. Come on. Oh my gosh. We'll get to this in a second. We'll get to this in a second. I want to talk about the game itself. And what it means. Western Conference standings are as the kids would say Litt. The clippers came up with a big win last night. I guess if you're looking at their equation, would you rather avoid the planned tournament or would you rather play in the play in tournament? That's obvious you want to avoid it. The issue is there conundrum is avoiding the play in tournament means you are the away team and he first round series against Kevin Durant. And the sons. Used to be Devin Booker and Chris Paul in the sun. Deandre ayton in the sun. Yeah, we now refer to it as Kevin Durant. That's the issue, and that's for another day. You don't want to play. And of course, you don't want to be in the play in tournament. But and that's what the Lakers were doing first, the Lakers went from just trying to get into the play and tournament, and then get into a home court game in the play in tournament or two, and then get the hell out of the plane tournament into the 6th seed, which is where darvin hammett pegged everything as a nice target to go hit for the Lakers and at the time a month ago everyone was like, okay, got it, darvin. Good idea. And last night had they won. Last night, they'd have been right there. Instead, they're currently 7th. They are the top team in the play in tournament with two games to go. Both home games against the sun's and the jazz, and the Lakers can still play out of the play in tournament if they go to an O in those games and the warriors in their remaining games go one and one there against the kings and the blazer blazers. The problem for them is it's on the road and that has been their issue all year long is winning on the road.

So with the draft is three weeks from tomorrow, teams are beginning to have press conferences with their local media about what their draft boards look like, what they're thinking about the draft looks like a little bit of a PR. I can't wait for the jets in the packers to have one? Because right now, as we're currently sitting there, Aaron Rodgers is still not a New York Jack. Radio silence. He is still not a New York jet, and it's all good. It's all good. Honestly, you know, my buddy, Mike Greenberg, who's hosting the draft. He is all agitated right now. I am, I am, look, look at my hand right here. For the radio audience, it's not moving. I'm cool. You're not gonna curse on the air, are you? No, okay. Why is Greenberg cursing on the air? Yeah, he's threatening to drop F bombs if it doesn't happen. On ESPN, I would pay to see that. I think he said it on a different show. Oh, okay. Well, it's very on dignified. That's what I meant. He's going to start, I don't know. I mean, because if you take the word up out and put the F word in there, that's a totally different name of the show. It might be a better chance. Oh, Mike tannenbaum has heard that language since his Rex Ryan does. At any rate. I'm cool. This is going to happen. It's going to happen because there's no way the packers are going to watch the jets. Use back to back second round picks, no chance. And if they do, let the jets go back to back in the second round that they sent Elijah Moore to Cleveland to get a second, second round pick. Clearly to send a Green Bay for Aaron Rodgers. Like, hey, Joe Douglas waving his hand from New Jersey. Hey, Brian Gouda kunst. See that trader just made with Cleveland. It's a second round pick. I got one. You want one? 'cause you're not getting the 13th overall. And I know that that's still has caused us apparently one would think to be in this sorry folks world right now. That Aaron Rodgers is still not on the New York Jets. Sorry folks. There you go. Mike is finally clued in with me. I was doing some stuff. Got it. Bottom line is. I'm cool. It's gonna happen. And if the packers, if the packers want to let the jets use all their draft choices, and then send us Aaron Rodgers 'cause they're gonna have to. All I know is Albert breer last week said, hey, it's gonna happen sooner rather than you think and I'm kind of like Albert. Take freaking talk with three weeks now for the draft. But jets in the packers are gonna eventually talk to the media, I guess. The ravens had one today. They sent a trio of gentlemen to the to the stage. They sent Eric dacosta the general manager, John Harbaugh, the head coach, and Joe hordes, who is their director of player personnel, has got a lot of his tires kicked by teams looking for a general manager. With the ravens organization. And the ravens said, hey, this is a draft press conference. Any questions about Lamar Jackson? We're going to pass. Take a pass. How do you think that one?

And I can't wait to chat with him. He knows, he didn't even accuse me of saying, you know, you're trying to get something out of me. Get your clicks. He accused me being a click baiter. You know? This is funny. He's got, you can tell he's got a really good sense of humor, but he's doesn't want to show it. You got to drill down on it. You got to really dig deep. He makes me work. It's in there. I don't like to work. Well, you know, he makes me work. Kevin Hart's an hour three. I know that's not worked for me. You know? Arthur Smith makes me work. And so I'm going to have to drill down. I mean, how does this team not even talk about Lamar Jackson? Because Lamar, the day that he got his franchise tag applied, the falcons answered a request from Peter schrager of good morning football NFL network Fox Sports. Are you interested in there like we're not going to be interested in him? And, you know, I would think they'd kick a tire on it, certainly since they were willing to give 230 million or they weren't. They're willing to give a remarkable amount of guaranteed dollars to deshaun Watson the year before. And then when Watson signed for 230 guaranteed $1 million to. Go to Cleveland, they just let it walk and totally reconfigured their strategy that now revolves Desmond Ritter in a whole bunch of free agents that they've signed. I mean, they just signed Calais Campbell to a one year deal, which is what you do when you think you need that veteran presence to get everybody rowing in the same direction and maybe be one of those key pieces that you see on a defensive line that can help you win a division, then you never know what's going to happen from there on out. You win a division, you get a home playoff game and off you go. So wide open. You know, Jesse Bates, that's the big one, is $64 million deal for a safety. 23 million in year one, when you see that, it's kind of like, okay, that takes up some cap space. They resigned a bunch of their own. Cliff lunch from Chris lindstrom on the offensive line and Caleb mcgarry on the offensive line. They hit that. They get Taylor heinecke in, and then those are the signs that you see. They're not calling them our Jackson. He's not getting an offer sheet from the Atlanta Falcons. Pre draft or post draft. That ship is sailed. Why? I'll do my best to get that answer from him. And also get an answer from him.

This is the rich eisen show. He is so good and he's so powerful to be around. With the guest host, Andrew siciliano. Earlier on the show. Host of the business of sports podcast, Andrew brand. BSI and tonight host Matt yeomans. Coming up. Packers writer for the athletic. Match schneidman. And now. Sitting in for rich. It's Andrew siciliano. As we like to say, hey, everybody. It is not yet the weekend, but we welcome you to another hour of the rich eisen show. As you heard, my name is Andrew. I do a show called NFL now on NFL network. Every day, 1 p.m. Eastern Time, it's something you should watch. It's kind of like a newsroom thing. Well, it is in the newsroom with all the reporters and it's a good watch. We recommend you tune in. The last couple of days, however, we've been doing a frenzied free agency show, free agency frenzy officially, 13 hours of that for yours truly the last three days. So that's everything that's in my head right now. Yes, there's college basketball going on. West Virginia leads Maryland. 51 48 with ten and a half remaining in the second half, Virginia leads Furman early second half 42 to 30 vermin. Thurman. And shout out to Chappelle. Missouri, Missouri. Leads Utah state 18 13. They are a bad eyes. 8 and a half minutes in and we are just tipping off the one seed without Bill so, build self not coaching KU today. Kansas a one seed against Howard from my hometown. Our nation's capital, no score, they are 18 seconds in, and now that we do have four games, we could officially do a red zone channel for college, basketball, which I did one many years ago. Kind of sort of. I was gonna say, why doesn't that exist? For wet well because CBS owns all the properties, obviously. And they kind of do one in studio, whether it's true TV, they have all these studios high at the same time. They're going to go back and forth between games. So they do something similar and they cover all the games. A Westwood one broadcast all the games as well. And so many years ago, flew to New York sat in a studio in New York, actually like three doors down, like legitimately down a hallway from the 60 minute set, which was really cool. In the CBS broadcast center in hell's kitchen and did that kind of thing on the radio, and that was a blast. But we'll keep you updated on the college basketball. Certainly, one of my favorite NFL writers, period Matt schneidman, from the athletic, who covers the Green Bay Packers. He is a fellow orange man, Syracuse, not the tournament, by the way. Big up to Adrian Autry. And he will join us from Green Bay to give a packers perspective here. We had a Nick mangold on yesterday on NFL network right after Aaron did his thing and a jets perspective from a jets perspective. I get it. You're all in. And like you owe it to your fan base, spend the money make it happen. What's your next best option? Lamar Jackson. We'll get to him in a second. Is that your best option? Maybe go get Aaron. I'm all for it. I just hope liking Aaron a lot, and I do truly. Despite the fact that there's a lot of passive aggressiveness there, despite the fact that I think he might be doing this for the wrong reasons. I just hope it works for him because if it doesn't, it can get ugly early. Now, it got ugly early this year, mid season, he played through the injury. And then they went on a run light than they lost week 18. But when you say you're going to retire, which is what he said yesterday, I think lost in all this, the fact that he said he went into the darkness retreat and he was 90% retired. I think out of everything he said yesterday and he spoke for almost an hour with pat. That was kind of the biggest headline for me. I was out. Out. And then they pulled me back in. Godfather three. He's back. In essence, spiting me by daring to suggest that we wanted to move on. By the way, that's Chris brockman, Jason feller, TJ Jefferson, is always gentlemen. Thank you for dragging me on your collective backs through these three hours as I have not done this for a long, long time. So I thank you. But that's what was the standout or the headline to me. Big time. All right. 90% done. So if you're 90% done, are you playing to prove them wrong? Maybe sure sounds like it. Okay? Now what are the reasons could there be? I wouldn't doubt you. 'cause he was pulling off $60 million. Right. Well, that's the other thing too. Is that I don't want to say baloney, but do you really think he'd walk away from 60 million? I personally don't, but, you know, Aaron's a different cat. Inflation's tough these days. What is good acoustic combo and interesting fella? He's an interesting fella. Which he is. So I don't know, maybe he would? I made a lot of money in his career. I think I love Aaron. I'll be honest with you. I don't know that. I'd always operate the way that he operates. I don't agree with him politically with a lot of things. I love watching him play football. I love watching him. Yes, play football. Have an interview to much over the years. But

I'm Andrew siciliano from NFL now and if the network 1 p.m. eastern every day, Monday through Friday, the red zone channel as well. Good to see you. Great to be here. As I mentioned before, I'm kind of rusty. Like I feel a little more comfortable now than I did last hour. I'll be honest with you. I didn't feel very comfortable last. I'll be very like, I kind of got into it like with each passing segment for those who don't know, I used to do radio every day for like 15 years. That was my job. I did a radio show like this is more than a radio show. Obviously, we have this beautiful studio here. It is a multimedia experience every day for rich and it's awesome. I used to do this every day without all the TV cameras and just on the radio side of it syndicated and everything and I'm a little rusty. So I thank you. And I thank you for listening and watching whatever it is you hopefully you're having a great Thursday, enjoying your college, basketball, the tournament is underweight. Maryland has pulled even with West Virginia. It is now 26 all. First half, I feel like they were getting smaller. We should do like a red zone, but there's only two games on right now. UVA is leading firm in 17 to 7, but right now there is some commercial on truTV, so we couldn't do that right now. We'd only have one game and I have to lay out for the CBS broadcasters doing now West Virginia leading 28 to 26. Coming up this hour, Matt Gilman's is here with some college basketball insight inside that candidly I simply don't have. I won't fake it. I hate people that fake it. I've been on plenty of screaming head shows in my time where they say, hey, hey, hey, can you give me an opinion on this? I'm like, I don't have an opinion. Well, we need one because we're going to talk about it. I'm like, I don't know anything about this topic whatsoever. Well, can you do some research? Because we've got to do this topic. All right, I'll come up with something. I'm not going to fake it and pretend to you that I know a lot about college basketball. I can name like three players that aren't un Syracuse. That is, so brockman and I are in this together like you, like the majority of you, like people that are looking at a bracket, be honest. Like this week for the first time, you hadn't looked at it. You hadn't really watched a lot. You just got a bracket because your neighbor, your office made said, let's do a bracket or your significant other. I'm kind of with you on that one. We are in this college basketball friend zone. We're not dating together. I used to be a far bigger fan. Brockman and I have gone to final fours together all ending far too early for the orange men. Once in Atlanta and another one in Houston. Once in Houston goodbye, don't need to go back there. At least not for a tournament. I used to go to the final four all that I'm very fortunate. Like on my bucket list, I've been to 8 final fours, awesome. Been there when my team in O three, the mighty orange med one in New Orleans, and I ran up and down bourbon street. Taking pictures with quest waning. It was amazing. Back in the day, I cried at the dome. When Hakeem work in the greatest single moment in college basketball history blocked Arthur Lee in the corner, it was my screen saver for years on my cell phone, not pictures of the family, not the dog. Not vacations. It was Hakeem work extending that arm. And bringing me the proudest moment of my sports life. I loved it, because I contributed so much to that team. But I've just kind of eased out of it as hello, Chris brockman. Jason fellow, TJ Jefferson. Great to have you all. Kind of like eased into the football world because that dominates our world. Great to have you regardless. Thanks for carrying me through this show. Maryland's winning 30, 28. Maryland is now taking the lead behind x-ray hip, 30. The 28 over West Virginia call us today at

"You could take him to dinner if you want. If you Mark Davis, you can take him to dinner. Obviously he's open for just open to the jets. I don't think it's everyone. Why wouldn't he be open to Las Vegas, Nevada? I don't know. And play with devonta Adams again. Why wouldn't you want to do that? You'd have devonta Adams. Fans when he's walking around the pro am there when pebbles come, he knows the fans are in on him. I don't know. It just seems weird to me that the jets were the only team that kind of went after it, and they were granted that opportunity. Because the packers still have to say, okay, you can we're willing to deal him to you. He's a cheaper in terms of draft compensation than Lamar. That's for sure. But the thing with lamare is he's 26. So I have a I can get ten years out of Lamar. So you could draft your next guy, 7th overall, right? And have him grow with Rogers while Aaron lives out his football days as a raider. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Nope, but he doesn't run the system. Jimmy G fits, really? We're going to go there. That's what we're going to go with. That's what I'm hearing. And McDaniels and patriots west we trust. That's what I'm hearing. I'm hearing. I'm here in the same thing, by the way. That's why it's like, I would love to have Aaron Rodgers, but when you hear the rumors and the different things that we heard at the combine, and just like Jimmy Garoppolo's a great fit for them, that's who they want. They want Jimmy's cheaper than car probably and Rogers. I'm sure. And they feel like they can build a better team around him. At the end of the day, I'll be honest with you. There's two parts to me that say you draft a quarterback every four years and then trade the one you get because it's cheaper that way. Yeah, sure. But then the problem is you may draft the wrong guy, which we've seen happen multiple times. And if you draft the wrong guy, we're all out of this thing. That's why the jets are in on Aaron Rodgers right now. Exactly right. You have to be careful in that draft process of what is drafting to the guy because we don't even know what Jordan love is for the packers. That's why the package are still sitting there waiting on Aaron Rodgers. I think we know what Jordan love is. Do we? Yes, he's the next first ballot Hall of Fame quarterback to the Green Bay Packers as that's where he goes. And my tongue firmly planted in cheek, but you saw a couple of times, man. I know and garbage time to use the Marv Albert phrase, but you could see he could spin it. And if your Green Bay, you also want him to grow old with these young guys that you've drafted, like a kind of makes sense. Right now, for them the part ways I just don't understand why the Raiders are not tripping all over themselves to take Aaron Rodgers to dinner. And if your answer to that question is, it's just not the way Josh McDaniels likes to do things, it is something that I have to sit here and question. Are they close though? Do you think the writers are close? To what? To winning a championship. Closer. I think the jets are closer. The Jets have just never made the playoffs in my son's lifetime. He's 12. They have seriously in the Raiders made it with car, you know, with the mayock drafted team two years ago and gave borrow scare at home. They don't have a top defense like the jets do, right? They have different players. They just doesn't work. So you're saying it's a better choice to go to New York for Rogers than to. Because if you're going to win now, you're going to need the team around you. Aaron Rodgers won with a top 5 defense. Just, right? So you're going to need a team there to be around you. I think there's a better team right now in place in New York than there is now. And Rogers would know it because that defense put the bang thing on him. Last year. Yeah, and they're a year better. Maurice Jones drew here in the rich eisen show studio. Okay, you mentioned moments ago, you were on a team where players weren't paid in the organization and others were brought in and that created a rift in the locker room. Do you want to identify which team this is? It was only one day with Jacksonville. The Raiders too. But I was out of a part of the fracturing. Who didn't get paid in Jacksonville? Well, we had kalief Barnes, who was a left tackle. And we had Mike Peterson, who was our starting middle linebacker. We were up for deals or coming close to being out for deals. And we had just made the playoffs way to run the Pittsburgh twice. We felt like we were a receiver away in another DB away. And so instead of taking care of the guys at home, we went in the fridge, we got Joey Porter and drayton Florence. Joey Porter gets hurt, doesn't play, but then drayton plays. He plays a lot, and he plays well, but the problem was, we have guys that have been in this locker room, right? That you see as leaders that you, the captain of your defense, are left tackle who at the time was blocking Dwight freeney by himself. And those guys are unhappy, right? Because they're not getting I think Khalifa was on his last year of his rookie deal. And Mike Peterson was like coming up on his second and third. So these guys were still on the team. Oh yeah, they're on the team. Not paid. Saw other guys come in and get paid. And now I can understand why that would be an issue in the locker room. That's the way I'm setting up something to trigger my friend Chris brockman over there because he thinks Daniel Jones should not have been paid what he got paid.
