REShow: Hour 1

It's Suzy Schuster. Hey everybody, welcome to this throwdown version of the Rich Eisen Show.

Suzy Schuster in for Rich Eisen. He is in KC for the draft. In case you didn't know, there's a thing called the NFL Draft tomorrow night. Not sure if anybody's talking about it because the games were so great on TNT last night, but there is this little thing called the NFL Draft and Rich is there for all 750,000 hours of it over the next couple days. I'll be at Little League with Cage Brockman, but that's a whole different story. We will talk about that later because it was one of the highlights of my week. But TJ Jefferson, good to see you. Are you okay today?

Want to check in on your heart and your head? Yeah, there it is. It comes with being a Clippers fan, Suzy.

Oh, does it though? You get used to heartbreak, you get used to disappointment. But should you, Chris Brockman is the question. Obviously we know news of the day that Kawhi Leonard, that torn meniscus in the knee, that was operated on a couple years ago. I got two of them, my meniscuses. I will donate both of them.

That too. It's too late now, but I would have. We're going to talk about this, Chris Brockman. I mean, listen, I'm not, not for nothing, but I have torn my ACL. I have torn my meniscus twice.

Would Kobe have sat on the bench watching if he tore meniscus, TJ? Because I have to ask Chris Brockman as we needle in the morning on this throw down Wednesday. Usually we have fun and now it's, you know, it's, you know, I forgot the booze, but I did bring the sidecar donuts. So we got that going for us, too. I still think we have champagne in the refrigerator, but we do. What are you sitting there for then, Chris, to talk about the Celtics just at the last second shooting his ice tray on this series should be over. We should have swept them. And now it's probably going to go seven games because the Celtics are the dumbest great team I've ever seen in my life. Oh my God. I mean, as I sat there watching Bob Kraft and Danny Kraft in the background sitting in the front row on the court.

I saw Bob Kraft there and I'm like, oh jeez. Hey, there's AKK. Good morning. How are you? How are you?

How's your mother? But by the way, I mean, Trae Young, who are you, bro? I mean, we've seen him do that many times. That 24 year old has a, that's why they call him ice tray.

I mean, that was Brockman range right there. Oh, here he is. Okay. That's sad. And that's cute. And by the way, poor Chris comes in. I see him yesterday. He says, God, my shoulder's really sore. I threw a lot to Cooper the other day. I'm like, it was wiffle ball, bro.

Yeah. My man was iced himself down throwing wiffle ball. It was wiffle ball, bro. I literally iced my elbow and shoulder Sunday night after playing wiffle ball with Cooper.

Yeah, you did. You really might want to stay off the pickleball court then. I mean, there were a lot of rain delays. There were a lot of rain delays. Cooper's like the worst red ass.

Cool. Cage is going in front of the ball in front of the strike zone. And Taylor wanted an at bat. And Cooper has just a terrible attitude. So poor Chris is out there all night. Okay.

So, so basically we saw the Celtics. I mean, you got to close out, son. You got to finish this. I was going to say good morning to Mikey D, but you took me out of my flow. Susie saves the best for last. Who protects Mikey D like I do. As soon as I said that, I was like, why did you say that? Of course she knows.

Mikey got to take me out of my flow. Yeah, I'm the shut. I'm going to tell my mic, whatever. I'll tell you.

I mean, well, I'll have you raise your hand, you know, I mean, so let me explain to you how my life works. And yes, we will talk with the NFL draft. Tom Pellicero is going to call in in the second hour. Marshall Fulk calling in soon. Rich Eisen at the end of the show because it's his show.

He can do whatever he wants to do. And the great Amy Trask here for two segments where we're going to play a couple of games with her lying season or not. Everyone's lying. Everyone's lying about who they're taking. Everyone's lying about. Oh, we're not rebuilding.

Yeah, you are. So we'll call out some liars and some not so liars and what have you. But before we do that, we're going to finish NBA and then we're going to we're going to talk about just the absolute vomit of adulation for Aaron Rodgers as he shows up today.

He speaks at eleven PST, I think, eleven Pacific time. You know, we'll talk about it. Yeah, we'll talk about it here on the Roku channel.

Sirius XM radio to 18 XM two or two stream it for free in the Odyssey app or Odyssey dot com. Follow us on Twitter slash Instagram at Rich Eisen show. You know how to find this call in Adams in the back waiting for your calls. You know, I like to stir it up.

So please do call in eight four four two or four rich. But before we go to Aaron Rodgers, anything else want to wrap up in this game? We're going to talk a lot of NBA today. I went to go put Taylor down in the right at the end of the Devin Booker show.

And Devin Booker, I mean, outscored the sorry to outscored the clips in the third quarter. And I think the game's over. So I go to put her down.

I come back in. I'm like, what? And the Clippers had crawled back and just clipped in the in the scrappiest of ways with Paul George on the bench again and with Kawhi on the bench again watching.

And yes, T.J. would Kobe have played through a meniscus injury? I got a wonder. Twenty four free agency opening up.

Was this the clip's last dance? What's going to happen? There's a lot of stuff. But.

Also, can we also, as I just kind of say, have it like be a hot mess train of thought Wednesday? That was nice. The the turnover situation was like the Keystone Cops at the end of a couple of these games, right? It's like a turnover, turnover, turnover.

Aaron passes out of bounds, missed shots, missed layups. The last two minutes of these games were like bananas. It was really fun to watch the NBA last night.

Don't you think I had zero fun watching the games last night when you're up 13 with about six minutes to go? You're supposed to win by 20 championship team. You don't let a team who's on the road, who is without one of their superstars, you don't let them think they have a chance. You don't let them crawl back in. You don't let them hit a few shots.

You don't give them easy buckets. And that's that's what I mean when when I say the Celtics are a dumb team. They just they just make stupid, stupid moves. They do stupid things. They weren't wicked smart. They were not wicked smart.

They were the opposite of wicked smart. Marcus Smart should be on the bench, but they don't do things that championship teams do. And that's why, you know, it's a really the roller coaster of emotions watching the Celtics team and in the Clippers. All you handle a T.J., you know, Russell Westbrook has been playing his heart out the last few games with Kawhi and Paul George, you know, out with injury. But to go three of 18 in a game like that, it's kind of disappointing. Would have liked to have seen that series go on since they're pretty evenly matched. You know, the Clippers are such a deep team, T.J., whereas the Suns are so front loaded with superstars in their starting lineup. Thought they were going to do it.

And now we get we get Phoenix and Denver, which should be an awesome second round matchup. But and I have to say that on top of that, it looked like they were going to stay in there without these two guys. The fact that they held KD, that they were with KD and Booker and Booker having the night that he was in the fact that they stayed in the game. T.J., in itself, you know, people say, oh, it's a victory.

Well, they lose anyway, but it's still a mental victory for some of these guys. And every time I see Zubats play and I think about when the Lakers sent him across town, I think, what were they thinking? Just gave him to us?

Nothing. You know, I'll say this about Boston real quick. You guys got kind of boned on some of those foul calls on Smart near the end at the end of the game, which, you know, a lot of times I'd rather see the ref kind of swallow the whistle a little bit. So I get the benefit of the doubt there. It's actually tough as the reigning defensive player of the year that he doesn't get more exactly more benefit of the doubt on calls.

But but so, yeah, I feel your pain on that. But, you know, look, the Clippers, this clipper team almost sometimes plays better without a superstar because they were we scored 70 points going into the halftime and, you know, things look, OK, well, maybe we can win this game. And then the Suns come out with a 50 point third quarter. I can't remember the last time I've seen a team score 50 in the Clippers could have just wrapped it up, start, you know, calling the travel agent at the end of the third. But they didn't. This team hung in there. They cut the lead to two with two minutes left. There was a chance that they could have won this game. And, you know, you can sit back and say, yeah, if Kawhi and Paul were playing, I truly do believe that the Clippers win this series.

But they didn't play and we didn't win. And it's kind of like the same old song. You know, they say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. I'm not insane because I don't expect a different result because I kind of understand that something is going to happen with this team every year.

And, you know, it's just it's it's tough being a Clippers fan sometimes. But who was more insane than Devin Booker last night? I mean, you talk about the cliche about a shooter's touch.

I mean, it was like, get out of his way, get out of his way, just give him the ball, get out of his way, because everything he touched went to gold. Yeah, his shot was just it was pure yesterday. And he was, you know, 47 on 19 of 27 shooting.

He I mean, this kid. I don't know why I don't like Devin Booker, because he doesn't play for one of my teams, but he truly is. He is definitely one of the best players on the planet Earth, and he showed out last night, man. Props to Devin Booker, scoring forty seven points on twenty seven shots that only had four threes, Chris. So it wasn't like he was taking a bunch of threes.

That was all, you know, jumpers in that that is mid-range game, the model of efficiency. And then you when you hold Kevin Durant, the 31, you know that Kevin Durant may have had the most quiet 31 points of his entire career last night. Kevin Durant has had a relatively quiet series. He scored twenty five points in every single game. And for a guy who really only played a fraction of the season and only a handful of games with with the Suns and with these guys as teammates, you know, he's doing a great job of being a superstar, but really blending into the background almost. And, you know, if you want to call 31, and allowing Devin Booker to kind of have this and really, you know, kind of take over this playoffs. Kawhi was the best player in the playoffs for the first two games.

Well, through five games. But Devin Booker has been the star of the NBA playoffs and feeding the big dog. That's that's also what Durant was doing is he was dishing around him.

He was spreading the wealth out there last night. DeAndre and in the first half especially, he was you know, the lane was wide open for wide open dunks. And, you know, he finished with 21.

I swear to you, it seemed like he had like 42 at one point. It just the Suns team, though, like Chris said, they're not very deep. So I'm wondering if they can pull it off for two more two more series to win that championship. But man, if Devin Booker and Kevin Durant are doing that, it's going to be hard. You have to wonder how much longer they can keep up this hot shooting when you're playing 40 plus minutes a night. You know, at some point, the legs begin to go and you kind of saw it with the Lakers the other night. They were absolutely gassed in overtime. You know, LeBron kind of dig to the depths to find some energy to kind of will them to a victory, get it to overtime in the first place, and then kind of will them to a win.

And you just wonder how long they can do it. Especially Phoenix is kind of only playing six or seven guys right now. No doubt. But that is why we have the segment coming up about don't poke the bear. Because the other night, Dylan Brooks, I mean, what a mistake you made basically waking up LeBron, because what I thought at the end of that game, I know, which didn't talk about it much yesterday was LeBron and AD look like men out there. It looked like, OK, men and boys at the end of that game. It was men and boys because that Lakers overtime was just an angry LeBron. And obviously the whole bellowing at the camera thing afterwards, we saw him mugging a lot and a lot of emotional response. But he missed the free throw after that. He did. And by the way, like, you can't miss those points. But that said, it was high.

Don't take the bear. It was great. And Dylan Brooks just looked like that.

He and John didn't talk to the media afterwards. It's like, come on, you guys go out there. If you're if you're going to I'm all for talking a big game, put it out there. I like that side of sports.

Start chewing, but if you're going to chew, you got to stand out there and take your shots, too. Right through that, like for Dylan Brooks to kind of say the media is turning him into the villain. I find kind of funny because you're the one who were like nobody forced you to make those comments. And most of the things that he says and does during the season put them in the villain category. So for him to kind of flip it. And I do agree that sometimes the media obviously can determine, you know, the way people players are perceived. But in this case, I think Dylan Brooks did a pretty good job himself, kind of putting himself giving himself that black cloak, if you will, that villain's cloak and mask.

So I can't really rock with them on that one. But I tell you one thing. There was a point at the end of that game when John Moran, I think John Moran might be too athletic, if that makes sense, because this man thinks that he can just jump over every and anybody. And there was that play where he tried to jump over LeBron. And I'm going to be honest, I literally I saw him reach his precipice. He got to do it. I close my eyes because I saw him coming down and I was like, oh, man, this is going to be bad. I thought he was going to shoulder open. Yeah.

And it was just like he's man with all that athleticism. He's got to be a little bit just smarter because you want to see Joff for the long run. Right.

I don't see John Moran get hurt and have his career shortened. But I mean, I guess it's like when Chris, when you say don't die for the end zone, if you've got the ball, don't die for them. If that's your mentality, you can't just like turn that off. Yeah.

You have to be. That's why you can't turn it off to do it that way. And at the risk of sounding like rich, I tweeted out that exact same thing. I said, does John know that he doesn't have to play like this? Right. Like you don't have to try to dunk over everyone at the risk of sounding like rich. That's funny.

I don't have a blue checkmark. Right. Right. Like just go up strong and maybe like pull up and do a little kiss. You don't have to try to dunk over Lebron James. He looks like the nut balls who go out there at halftime with the trampolines and go flying through there. I literally thought to myself, what are you doing, kid? Get down. John has trampolines at the bottom of his shoes.

Yeah. I mean, his tops are out of this world. Can we pivot really quick before we get Marshall Folt? Because he's going to call in in the next segment from KC.

And I want to like move to football a little bit. Can we just please talk about just the ridiculous adulation to say adulation for Aaron Rodgers, of course, walks in today with yet another hairdo, walks into the Jets facility greeted at the door by their owner, Winnie Johnson, Robert Salas there. And RG three put out a great quote. He's like, find a guy to look at you the way Robert Sala looks at Aaron Rodgers. I mean, the unmitigated vomiting of ad of adoration and adulation for Aaron Rodgers right now. It is ridiculous. OK, you guys, you guys, T.J. and this.

I mean, it reminded me really quick, T.J., it reminded me of another great moment in time of sports over adulation. Ridiculousness. Mikey, what do you got? Nothing, really, right now.

Nothing, really. Right now, Mike. We prepped this. You're not paying attention to George's box. And Roger Clemens is coming back. Oh, my goodness. Goodness gracious. Of all the dramatic things.

Of all the dramatic things I've ever seen, Roger Clemens standing right in George Steinbrenner's box. Oh, my God. Mike, Mike, I always have your back. I always call it. And I tell you, what were you doing?

Sound wasn't working. No, you're you're. Oh, my God. I can't believe it. A hundred percent. I was going to look so like a camera on you.

No, but there's no ISO camera. I was so ready to look slick like Susie. Oh, that's such a great connection, like this absolute vomitorium of praise and ridiculousness. Mike, you killed me there.

I'm sorry. Oh, God. That's your number one.

She always has your number one fan. I'm so glad I was going to look so smart. Well, we can just edit it and like crop it. Now, are you saying this as an Emmy Award winning journalist that you are about? And Rogers, are you saying this as a diehard Patriots fan who doesn't like the Jets? Well, you know, I am a multifaceted person, T.J., but what I am saying is like it's ridiculous. I mean, it's so crazy. Like people are acting like it's like that. It's kind of like the waters are parting.

We should have them on a boat crossing the Hudson, like Washington crossing the Delaware. It's the trade that we knew was going to happen, but took forever to happen. People are sitting rich like, hey, high five, weird little memes and emojis and stuff like that. Calm down, everybody. We knew it was going on. And oh, by the way, the most heartfelt, weird, unheartfelt goodbye to Green Bay. Aaron Rogers saying my heart's always going to be in Green Bay. No, it's not. It's in New Jersey.

It's in New Jersey. So I just feel like a whole lot of nothing over the Aaron Rogers thing. And now, you know, sauce gardeners saying we're definitely going to be in the playoffs. Are you? Let me see. You probably think so.

Yeah, I do. Kind of over it already. I'm not going to lie.

And you get to live with it for the next year. He's going to be 40 in December. And I've been saying this all week. I'm just going to keep saying it in the history of the league. There's only been two players who had good seasons when they turned 40.

Tom Brady and Brett Favre. Right. Do you think Aaron Rogers can do it? Maybe. Can he be the third?

Maybe. Will he show up early? Will he get to know these guys? I mean, he's there today, but only because he's getting his jersey. So is he looking for an apartment? Is he going to be in New Jersey? Is he going to be in New York? These are inquiring minds want to know. Funny segment of Good Morning Football where they broke down the North Jersey real estate market at Jamie Udall.

Props. That was funny. Is he going to live in Manhattan? I don't know. Is he going to buy Kendall Roy's apartment?

We'll see. He's 1,000% living in Manhattan. Right? You don't want the commute going to Florham Park every day. Oh no, that's the old Pat Sumrall. Manhattan.

Do you want to talk about your day, Mike? He's going to live in the city. Dorman apartment. He's going to be with Jeter. They're going to probably have like they're going to share an elevator, like one of those apartments that he comes out and it's like only two apartments for a floor, maybe one. He'll have a helicopter and it'll take him to practice. There you go. No helicopter.

You have a helicopter in this studio. All right, we're going to go to break. When we come back, Marshall Faulk may or may not be on time. You know how it is with Marshall. I sit here. I hyperventilate.

I wait to see if he's going to call in on time and usually he doesn't let me down. So Marshall Faulk coming back after this. Take a quick little break here on The Rich Eisen Show.

I should have tested it before and then when I went to hit it and it didn't work I'm like. I get it. All right. As they say at HBO let's move on. Much more NBA talk ahead just because I felt last night was just so much fun and just so crazy and and again we'll talk more about the turnover clinic and about what's going to happen moving ahead. We're going to talk NFL draft coming up with Marshall Faulk obviously the NFL draft for any of you yacos out there who are sleeping and haven't paid attention to the NFL draft that starts tomorrow night 8 p.m eastern on NFL network with I don't know the guy whose desk this belongs to Rich Eisen sitting in the chair for 15,000 hours at a time and I don't know how you aren't sick by now Chris of so much of the prognostication and the mock draft this draft and like again it's another example of just men being nuts. TJ hates mock draft season. I love mock draft season.

I really do. I mean it starts for me in the fall you're just kind of getting a feel or a read on everything heading into the offseason and then bam the last three months has been crazy. I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow night. We think it's going to be Bryce Young first overall and then after that who the hell knows but is it going to be Bryce Young first overall. I don't know. Will Levis his friends are posting weird stuff on Reddit and now he's he's like five to one to be the number one pick and then Frank Reich said yesterday there's a consensus now on who they're going to take so they know who they're taking. I wonder if he told his wife who was that a couple years ago who was like I didn't even tell my wife who we were taking number one. Somebody who's divorced.

Somebody who's definitely divorced. And oh by the way yeah so the Panthers say that they said they've got the consensus pick we'll talk to Amy Trask about that in the uh the next hour that whenever we're playing that whenever we're gonna have Amy on the show today we will talk about that because I don't pay attention they just sit me here and I just talk but that said I mean we're talking about like the Panthers saying they know the draft does anybody really know the order and oh by the way when an anonymous post can change the flow of a draft or just change the betting odds change the betting odds you name it well ask Tom Pelissaro how it affects how he covers the draft because everything changes. Like TJ if I throw you out at the moment what's more likely Carolina we know is going to pick first right but what's is what's more likely that the order goes Houston, Arizona, Indy, Seattle the next four picks or that somebody trades up? Uh you'd have to think someone trades up right? Someone's got to trade up right? If you want one of these quarterbacks do you think you need to get to two do you think you need to get to three do you need to leapfrog Indy who's definitely taking one uh what what is Vegas going to do is Atlanta going to move up could could the Jets and Packers just swap picks right? So is Green what is Green Bay going to do at 13? This is going to be the most craziest first round tomorrow once it starts and then once it ends it's just going to be I need a drink I need to recap what just happened.

You need a drink there's champagne in the back and you're just sitting here so I'm just saying like if you really need a drink do something about it. I just think nobody has any idea I mean look we we can see all these mock drafts right nobody's got any idea until someone calls their name we just don't know unless you know for instance I don't know maybe a player's mom drops a little knowledge on something or I don't know some buddies go to Vegas and get a little two draft kings happy or what have you but nobody knows what's going to happen. So how many drafts TJ can you possibly look at?

I mean I was I'm driving down today I'm listening to Dan on the way down I have coffee in one hand I'm in the left knee on the wheel we know how you do I'm multitasking as we come down here today on this foggy morning here in Southern California. Susie Schuster in for Rich Eisen here on the Rich Eisen show by the way 844-204 Rich call because I love that stuff please and guys are already calling and I appreciate that but I mean the fact of the matter is is we can mock draft all we want when Roger gets up there on Thursday night mixing abs we'll know what happens and we know who wants what but I mean how many more mock drafts can you have people? You know Susie I'm kind of with you on this I know we're a football heavy show and this is how we you know we more or less get paid to do football but like Brockman said I I don't need four mock drafts from like you know the half hour after the Super Bowl ends until this week I mean it's just unnecessary because for one thing unlike the NBA where you kind of do have an idea of where these players are coming from there's 150 d1 schools not counting the d2s and maybe a d3 player that could come up you really don't know so people doing three four mock drafts two months ahead of the draft yeah I'm just me personally it doesn't it doesn't do anything for me but I know like there are I'm an anomaly I know there are millions more like Chris who like eat up every bit of it yeah TJ and I get to this point now like about a couple weeks ago I say about three weeks before the draft that's when I do get into it and I totally get your point on hey what's the point of doing a mock draft four months out I think for a lot of people if you are not a huge college football fan like say you don't want to spend both weekend days you know glued in front of your TV for 12 hours I totally understand that Saturdays you know you get stuff done day and then Sunday you sit at home and watch you know Sunday ticket and your favorite team and your fantasy and your gambling and all that the mock drafts are a great way to just get a early feel of oh these are the guys who we're gonna spend the next couple of months getting to know watching workouts hearing interviews oh the combine comes up now we're gonna watch pro days like these are just the guys to keep an eye on so I think I think the January mock draft you know even though it's still way down the line the real draft it's just kind of like oh who could be the 17th pick of the draft oh it's this guy oh who is Joey Porter Jr oh okay wait is that the guy who's dad play oh right and then you're just getting to know a lot of these kids now that part I do enjoy and I think that's kind of the cool part about the the mock drafts that come way way early but yeah now the mock drafts are like oh these are really where yeah these guys could go and and you're just kind of waiting for the show to start on Thursday they are but it's like how many yachts can you water ski behind you know what I mean it's a little gordon gecko with mock drafts can we really water ski behind how many how many mock drafts can we really water ski behind I can't read enough mock draft but Chris you also brought a point like getting to know the kids and that's why I love you know what we've been able to do to get some of these kids on the show and get to know them a little bit before because you know the people that we've had I'm predicting we're gonna have at least one if not two maybe gold jackets out of the guys that we've just had on the show so yeah I really do that is my favorite part getting to know these players off the football field getting to know what their families are like what they're like and that's the part because I love stories you know so that part I do enjoy yeah that's really fun you know you learn about a kid like Zay Flowers one of 13 kids who lost his mom when he was super young we get to talk to Bijan Robinson yesterday he's great huh he's probably going to be the first running back taken could be a top 10 pick Will Anderson could be the first defender the defender taken you know we get to talk to Bryce Young and all these kids and it's just really fun to get a chance to you kind of get a glimpse these guys do all the interviews with teams and you know we get our chance 10 minutes 15 minutes to talk to him get a little glimpse into their personality what kind of makes them tick I love it when we talk to the Alabama guys and you know you get the story of what's the maddest you made Nick Saban that's been a hilarious theme that we've been able to do over the last few years you know talking to these Bama kids so yeah I'm excited the draft is yeah I'm excited the draft is so fun it's it's literally paperwork it's literally something that used to be done in a hotel ballroom with old white guys on on hardline telephones right and and now it's this gigantic spectacle red carpet what the guys are wearing is such a cool thing to see each year you know the big families I love when the guys actually go to the draft and you see all their families together at the tables and the moment when they hear their name called and I don't love the bro hug with the commissioner I think it's a little weird but I do like that they're into it you know it's because this is their moment this is the moment that changes their lives and their family's lives forever now and now it's like all right the excitement that a team gets when you take a guy that you think could turn your franchise around if you're one of these teams that's just been terrible forever you know Houston and and and Jacksonville and the Jets and all these teams that haven't had much success and you think a day a day like the draft makes you think we could win the Lombardi next year we could be the Chiefs we could be the Patriots we could win the big one and it all starts tomorrow and I'm just so pumped and for all the algorithms for all the research these guys do because they do do research every team researchers to the nth degree I mean they find any last bit of dirt knowledge trash you name it the measurements just every single bit of deep dive into these players an injury you had in sixth grade flag football only to not even know how you're going to play out there because let's face it college is not the NFL maybe Alabama maybe Alabama but college is not the NFL and you take a gamble you trade up you leverage your team's future I still think what the Jets did was great in terms of like so I think it's gonna be a Super Bowl run of course not I'm a Patriots fan no but I think that what they did absolutely firing and that's all any fan base wants right now in this whole look if you think about it there's only football for five months there's all the football season is relatively short right so you got seven rest the football season never ends but that's what I'm saying you got the seven month off season to just speculate wonder debate with your friends you get on the text thread and you complain about ah we're not doing enough and free agency we overspent for this guy fans just want to be inspired so they can get excited about the upcoming year and a move like the Jets did getting Aaron Rodgers come on first ballot Hall of Famer that's just inspiring that just gets you so geeked up excited you see the the dap the dapping up with Robert Saleh today in the weight room oh my gosh that's that's like Thor like meeting yeah I don't watch the Marvel movies but it's just like all right let's go I'm ready for the season to start now they had to throw everything to get this trade this is it this is it this is it this is their patent march I mean they had to throw everything that they had can you believe that by the way Rich will find something to be unhappy about in three two and one but the fact of the matter is I think that what they did is great curious about who you think does the best mock draft who does the best mock draft I love Daniel Jeremiah not just because we're friends not just because he comes on here all the time but I think he is so plugged in and connected to general managers the guy used to be a scout he used to sit in draft rooms for the teams that he used to work for and so I just think he has a feel of what is going on across the league and what's going to happen tomorrow so I think his uh his mock draft he just does one uh I think it airs tonight on the network and I'm going to be tuned in because that's what I think is going to be the closest to what actually goes down tomorrow yeah T.G. will get his popcorn out here I know you're excited to watch that down oh yeah like I said once at this point now I am excited I don't and I don't I don't get excited in March about it because it's just like there's so much speculation but it's time now and now I'm hyped and you know two things to to kind of piggyback on what Chris said one thing is unlike you I thoroughly enjoy the hugs with the commissioner I don't know why I remember kind of the first year it really started when I used to be on that that thing called twitter before they booted me off I would literally I took a picture every time it was like the first year where it became a big thing and I posted out all these hugs with the commissioner I don't know I feel like that's a cool moment and it seems like the players like it and he loves it so it's fun but also like you said about giving hope people always like for me I'm a Cowboys fan as you know people always want to yell about the Cowboys like why do you think you're going to win the Super Bowl my thing is this he just told you football is 17 weeks if you don't believe that your team can win if you don't think your team is going to be good then why are you wasting your time are we doing in the fandom like you know what I mean you have to go into this with hope I honestly people who don't think their team is going to be any good I don't understand why you bother even watching them like you have to have some type of enjoyment even though like I said with the Clippers I know how this season is going to end every year but I'm a fan so I get excited and a masochist yeah that's true what do you think uh twice because I've got two teams what do you think the best team would be to sit in a room and watch like who do you want whose team not I mean like one side fandom aside fandom aside where do you want to sit and listen in I mean I like one team and I hate everybody else but if I can't pick the Cowboys in I might have to say your team just because Belichick obviously the greatest coach of all time I wouldn't mind sitting there me Bill Nike sitting at the kitchen table chilling having a drink seeing what goes through his mind what his process is on draft day I think you know that's so funny because I'm going to say your team it's so really it's so interesting yeah and I was going to say that before you look the Joneses are oh they're so they're so fascinating yeah you know we love succession I know TJ you're not watching but so many people out there are um man the Jerry the Jones family is kind of like the Royce right except that we know who is next in line Stephen Jones is kind of running the ship right now but I just would love to be in there to see how it all goes down uh and the way Mike the coach is involved because I make a lot of jokes at Mike McCarthy's expense I just want to see what's going on in there and I just think it'd be so fascinating Jerry made a joke the other day that he wanted to take Johnny Manziel and uh and Stephen kind of talked him out of it that was a genius move to talk him out of it although maybe Johnny would have played well who knows uh yeah I think I would pick the Cowboys yeah you um I think I'd be in the Jones Mahal I think I'd be there number one I have a feeling he'd have the best food absolutely I just I see this as being like a pretty I gotta say the Rams look like it'd be a pretty good time too yeah they post these did you see the video they posted yesterday with right Chris and Aaron Paul I did not uh they're hanging out with celebs they got houses in Malibu I think Kara Henderson had her had her fingers in this one this looks like a little bit too much fun she could go in there and hang out if she wanted to that's true you could literally make one call and get us there tomorrow night I could can we do it no tomorrow night what's tomorrow night thursday it's the draft oh to watch with them sure great you want to be with them Chris is at the window looking inside they're all eating prime rib that would be fun should we do it should we call Kara up and say I could be plus three Kara right now and say I'm plus three do it there will be tequila okay she's not expecting my face time she would expect yours I'm busy here I'm busy here what is with the Isons they just don't want to facetime anyone in the middle of the show two times ago I mean that happens that's why I turn my phone off you facetime them okay you guys got all these fabulous friends and you won't like I facetime some of my friends that would never ask me though hold on that means I have to turn my phone on I don't know no that's funny we mentioned we mentioned your famous friends all the time we never ask you to face them never remember that time I checked out whether you were really friends with them or not because they sat next to me in a restaurant yeah did you know this is Chris do you know the story no he doesn't you are not here no so I'm in Studio City I'm meeting my friend Colleen for a little four or five o'clock little you know a little a little so we're sitting in some place which I would just say some place in Studio City because I don't know the name of it of course not in walks Ashton and Mila and they go and they seat them next to us I'm like do I do it do I test out whether TJ's been you know coming correct she thought it was a maybe like her friendship is this like a stalker friendship it's like do you really know him turns out my friend Colleen and Ashton had worked together so they're having that uncomfortable like hey remember we had a production company together conversation and you know and it was a lovely conversation and you know I'm like I'm gonna I'm gonna send out a little reel I'm gonna just see if they can catch a bass in the river feeler I said to Mila we have a friend in common and she looks at me like oh god who's this wackadoo I said it's TJ Jefferson she goes what TJ Jefferson said yeah my husband is Rich Eisen she's like oh my god we love Rich we love TJ above I'm like well I guess he actually is friends with them so and and you texted me like should I say hi like I was gonna be like no I don't really know him don't say hi and it was really sweet and you weren't lying and so I gave you props for that okay we're gonna go to break I'm gonna facetime Kara and I'm gonna find out if I can find out where Marshall is because clearly he's

have six or seven seven you're down to six god that i'm still you i had forgotten about it because you know i have no memory and now i now i'm putting all the guys uh dane in tampa hi dane how are you hey how are you good to have you on i finally get to call in with a great suzy shuster i'm so happy that you did so how are you today what's on your mind i want to talk a little bit of buck football okay what do you got i just feel like they're trying a little too hard this year we had the perfect recipe for uh caleb williams next year and we're going out and we're signing baker and we're putting all this effort in and moving money around and i mean we have 75 million dollars in dead money this year because of all of them i think tom brady we had the most exciting three years in tampa that we've ever had no doubt but uh but that that phase is over and i think it was time for a rebuild and i heard you were talking earlier about teams that are oh we're not rebuilding well i i think that the bucks really are faking it a little too hard uh this is my theory on this when you say that you're not rebuilding it's like when you say no disrespect but of course you're rebuilding if you're not rebuilding then what's the point of having the job don't you think dana i mean every team is rebuilding and i heard carsten palmer talking about caleb and obviously these usd quarterbacks stick together but everybody who walks into an nfl building every day of their life is rebuilding there's no doubt right and i mean you're looking at the roster i mean i have the roster up in front of me right now we have mike evans who has been giving up money every single year he's i mean tampa's gonna love that man until the day he dies but i mean if you want to do right by him if he wants to leave tampa send him somewhere where he can win another championship right send to the jets you know please god oh god somewhere somebody's looking for a pass rusher we have shack barrett i mean he's coming off of injury i understand that's a little harder to sell but you know if you're if you're sitting in the bottom of the first round and you want a pass rusher and you don't want to give up your first rounder i'll take your third rounder for shack barrett you know so um i don't know that's just my opinion on on the whole situation with the bucks and i understand that everybody has jobs that they want to keep uh and how dare they try but um you know i hear you i hear you and uh just hold tight keep up hope you're gonna rebuild i promise i mean all these liars uh everyone's rebuilding i think you just lied to dane did i i said giving him hope giving him false by the way dane brought up i guess kind of a point i want to talk to you about earlier you know we obviously know we've got these top four quarterbacks in the draft but you think maybe you guys have their eye on next year maybe something we talk about next hour maybe they're looking ahead if you don't have your eye on next year you're not doing your job yeah so that maybe that might stop one of these teams from taking a quarterback this year but then you'd have to stink for a whole year oh god i mean that's what so that's why this is now fun because now you just don't know yeah i know but that's when you're like you're sitting here thinking like well what kind of job are you doing if you if you want we're going to take a quick break hour two ahead for us all of you on hold we're going to come to you in the next hour i promise i won't leave you conspiracy theories paranormal ufos in the 1960s the united states and the soviet union started developing directed energy microwave devices and even to this day the united states government is still continuing its research into high power microwaves it is nothing
