Enjoy! Alrighty, we are rocking and rolling here. Hour number three of our radio program. That's right, it is the Zach Gelb show on the Infinity Sports Network. We have breaking news. We have breaking news on the Zach Gelb show. So I'm gonna guess the breaking news. I don't know exactly which team involves the breaking news, but Stu got in my ear and he said, we have the Hard Knocks team for this year. Now the Giants are doing this off-season version of Hard Knocks, which starts in early July, which it will air, so I'm gonna say it's not the Giants.
Now, there are a few criteria here. For the pre-season Hard Knocks, team gets a pass. One, if they have a new head coach. Two, if they've done it within the past ten years. And three, they've been to the playoffs at any of the prior two seasons.
So Stu, I have compiled a quick list here. And I guess like a team like Indianapolis, they did the in-season Hard Knocks, so maybe they have the right to refuse. But the four teams that I've compiled here, the Colts in order, the Saints, the Bears, and the Denver Broncos. I'll give you my first guess. You tell me if it's accurate or not. Are the Denver Broncos the Hard Knocks team?
They are not. I would have actually liked to have seen them on Hard Knocks, because it's year two of Sean Payton. You just drafted Bo Nix.
I think that would have been a fun watch. Bears, Saints, or Colts. I want it to be the Bears, because you got Caleb Williams, and he will play it up for the cameras. They've had a positive offseason, so it's not like drama doom and gloom. Is it the Bears? It is the Bears.
Wow! That's a good job by the league. You put Caleb Williams in front of the cameras, right?
Mr. Hollywood. You have that Johnson clip, even though that got clarified, and he kind of then said, oh, I was misquoted, blah, blah, blah, which he actually said what you said. That's a good job by the league, because there's finally optimism with the Bears. You think they have their guy. He's already named the starter. You have DJ Moore. You got Roma Dunze. You got Keenan Allen.
That's a good one. I have not been a fan of hard knocks in a while. A lot of people love the Lions hard knocks. I thought it was good on social media.
In small clips, I did not think it was good watching the entire thing. The Cowboys one a few years ago was absolutely dreadful. The highlight of that was like Zeke or Dak wrapping a present, and then Jerry Jones putting too much salt on whatever McDonald's breakfast sandwich was. Who was the hard knock? Do we know? Who was the hard knocks team last year? It was the one and only. Who was it? I can't remember.
Iowaska Rogers. Oh, yeah, the Jets. That was disappointing, though. Yeah.
Because you're right. Hey, I totally forgot it. I thought there was going to be more fireworks. It was compelling to see Dalvin Cook go on a free agency tour, but there wasn't anything wild from that.
You had that Oz or Oz, whatever. He goes by the mentalist with the McColl-Hardman predicting the Super Bowl score, and McColl-Hardman ended up having the game-winning touchdown catch in the Super Bowl, except it was for the Chiefs and not the Jets. So the Bears on hard knocks. We in or we out?
You like that? I think it's going to be a fascinating watch for us, but I'm going to tell you this, man. Caleb Williams, there's very few questions about his skills as a quarterback on the field. All the questions this offseason have been about his mentality, is he too fragile?
Is he soft? All of these. Having cameras in his face in his first training camp is going to do nothing to help him get over that stuff. The stigma, sure.
But I think people are now more cognizant of this. The teams control everything that gets out. I had Hugh Jackson on this network years ago, if you recall, the whole scene with Todd Haley. And he openly told us on the air, he goes, you know, we control everything that gets out. And then I said, well, why did you let that get out then of that icy scene with him and Todd Haley? It's because the issue that they were debating, Todd Haley already asked about it three, four or five times. And if it was the first time, yes, Hugh Jackson, which we saw it made him look like a jerk. But when your OC is asking the head coach the same question over and over and over and over again, eventually you've got to play that power card of I'm the dude that's in charge. So I may have a different opinion on this.
Like, Santa, I think I'm not saying you're wrong because I do believe, like, that's a juicy storyline now. Everyone talks about Caleb Williams in the spotlight. How is he going to relate to Locker and all that stuff? Now you put more cameras on him.
It doesn't make him get away from that. But I, I don't think he'll look bad here on Hard Knocks. I'm not saying people dislike Caleb Williams now, but I think a lot of people are going to walk away.
Or maybe there's a few quirky things that Caleb Williams will do that will be a little bit weird. But I think a lot of people are going to walk away feeling excited about the future of the Bears. And the Bears, they're going to start to become a trendy pick. I already said they're nine and eight going to the playoffs this year. But I feel like every year the Hard Knocks team, it uplifts everyone and everyone's like, oh, this team's going to be wonderful. This team's going to be spectacular. I like the Bears on Hard Knocks this year. Is there a team now?
I'll go around the room here. Take the criteria out of it. I don't care if they have a new coach or not. I don't care if they've made the playoffs or not recently. I don't care if they've been on it recently. Who's the team taking the Bears out of it who are the Hard Knocks team as that's breaking a few moments ago? Who's the team that you most want to see on Hard Knocks? I got two, but I'm just going to give you one.
I'm just going to give you one. I'm going with the Justin Fields, Russell Wilson drama. That's going to be fun to see how George Pickens reacts, how the two of them interact.
TJ Watt back there. The Mike Tomlin cliches. Yeah, I feel like they would be very interesting. There's another team that I would love to see more because of their coach, but I'll let you guys discuss. Okay, the Steelers.
That's a good one. How about Stu? Who's the team? Give me the Falcons.
Give me the Falcons with Cousins making the comeback. Minjeri, Pennix, just all of it. I love it. Basically got the Hard Knocks version of Michael Pennix when he joins on the show two hours ago. If you missed any of that Odyssey rewind for the next 24 hours at 3.15 p.m. Eastern. You can also check it out on YouTube.
And I also put out the link on my Twitter page and it'll be coming up on Instagram soon as well. At Zach Geld, Z-A-C-H-G-E-L-B. Huh. This is a tough question. The team I would actually want to see.
I'm between two and now I sound like Santa. I want to see the Eagles. Sirianni last year down the stretch that was a cluster. The coordinators replaced them on both sides of the ball. You got Kellen Moore now on offense, Vic Fangio on defense. You got big personalities, Saquon, A.J.
Brown. You got big players there replacing Kelsey, replacing Fletcher Cox. You obviously have Devontae Smith, Jalen Hurts. Big passionate city too.
Like Philadelphia. I would want to see the Eagles on hard knocks. That would be my team. Now who was your other team? My other team has got to be the Jim Harbaughs. I mean just anything Jim Harbaugh would be fantastic. Watching the Chargers. I know there's not a lot of talent there.
Living in the RV. But you just know that anything that Jim Harbaugh does is just interesting. So yes and no. And I'm a Harbaugh honk. You obviously know that. Honk, honk.
I will ultimately, I will clearly admit that. Everyone knows that if you listen to this show. I love Harbaugh. I think some of the stuff that would come off very weird in hard knocks.
Which is why it would be so fun. I mean the dude used to climb trees and sleep in sleeping bags at recruits houses. He's a weird dude. He's funny and he's smart. He knows what he's doing and I would love to see the inside of what makes Jim Harbaugh tick.
And why he does so well when expectations are always so low when he starts with a new team. You know who's another team? The Bills. I think the Bills would be fun on hard knocks. You don't know what the heck Sean McDermott is going to say and what speech he's going to give. But you have a team that has been close but yet so far.
You take the fun digs out of the equation. Maybe we get a little honesty there and finally figure out what the heck happened. I think the Bills would be fun on hard knocks too. Have the Dolphins been on hard knocks? I know they were there with Joe Philbin. Remember you had the Ocho Cinco scene where they had to release him.
Now I think this guy's weird but he's also funny. Imagine Mike McDaniel. Were they on in-season hard knocks I want to say? They were the in-season this year. This year?
Yes. Like this past football season, not this upcoming. The Jets were the preseason and the Dolphins were the in-season.
And the Dolphins were also the preseason in 2012. The in-season one, I can't ever remember watching it outside of just social media clips. Hickey watched it with his culture on it. He said it was great.
He said he loved it. The Cardinals two years ago wasn't bad. That actually was an interesting watch. Oh, in-season and remember? Everything with Kyler Murray was really interesting.
I forget who it was. I had a team reporter on and he said he thought that was by design because the cameras would be there for checks and balances because that was a team. Remember they were building that narrative of starting strong and not being able to finish which was just a crazy kind of thing to me. So the Chicago Bears, the hard knocks team, that has juice. I just hope it lives up to the hype because the Jets had juice last year and I didn't think, I thought it was too like lovey-dovey. I didn't think it was anything that was must-watch TV. So I'm not saying we should go away with hard knocks. That quarterback show kind of failed.
It was good early and then no one else wants to do it now. They're doing it with wide receivers, I believe. I saw that was announced somewhere. So that's the latest the Bears are going to be the hard knocks team. Alrighty, let me get to the poll question today. You can find it at INF Sports Net and also at Zach Gelb on the Twitter.
Samter will retweet it from the Infinity Sports Network Twitter account. The Miami Dolphins this year will win the AFC East, be a wild card team, or miss the playoffs. I don't think the Dolphins will win the AFC East. I picked them to win the AFC East last year.
They were in the top dog spot for the majority of the season and they blew it towards the end. So I'm not doubling down on the Dolphins. So for me, the question becomes are they going to be a wild card team or are they going to miss the playoffs? I trust the Bills more than the Dolphins this year. I trust the Jets more than the Dolphins this year.
I think it's splitting hairs, by the way, to be clear. But I like those two teams over the Dolphins. I think the Ravens are better. I think the Bengals are better. I think the Texans are better. And I think Kansas City is better.
So that's six right there. So vying for that seventh spot, Jacksonville, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and then the Miami Dolphins. You know, you want to consider the Chargers to be my guess.
I'm going to say the Dolphins make the playoffs. I think you're going to get three teams from the AFC East in the playoffs. One is the division winner, two as wild card teams, and then the AFC North will send two as well. One is the division winner, one is the wild card team because he has seven. Now, it's going to be close because it could very easily switch where the AFC North sends three playoff teams. And then you're only getting two in from the AFC East.
And if the Chargers then go strong and you get two from the AFC West or the AFC South, you get two in, it's going to be tough. But I'll give the benefit of the doubt to Miami because this is what Miami is. Miami is a good team.
They're not great, though. And I don't trust that quarterback and Tua Tungavailoa to have them take the next step. But I still trust him to be good enough to get them to where they've been.
And that's been in the playoffs the last two years. Their defense, I love Phillips, but we'll see when he comes back. You got Chubb, you'll see when he comes back after those just two terrible injuries. You lose Wilkins, but on offense, you got Waddle. You obviously have Tyreek. You have Raheem Mostert, Davon Aichan.
Odell Beckham Jr. is now the third wide receiver. I think they're a 10-7 team right around there. They're the seventh seed they could easily miss, they could easily make. I'll go with them being a wild card team right now. How about you, Santa?
I voted for them to win the AFC East. Really? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. Wait a second.
Yeah. Stu, do me a favor because I know Santa's been gone for a while, so maybe he misremembers, like Roger Clemens, maybe he misremembers some of his takes. Wasn't there a certain guy that when I look at the other side of the glass, he sits right there out of the left corner of my eye that was on me for a month about how great the Jets are and the Jets having this, like maybe the second most talented roster in the AFC or something like that. That was some guy named Michael Santa, right?
I believe so, yes. Okay, now just because you have the most talent doesn't mean it always means you're going to have the most wins. But I'm curious here, I'm not saying it's a crazy take because as I said, you're splitting hairs from the AFC East winner. Bills could win it, Dolphins win it, Jets could win it, Patriots can't.
What a different world we're in than what it was for 20 years. But what makes you now say the Dolphins are the team that's going to have more wins than the team that used to, that you no longer root for in the Jets and also the Bills who have won the division for a bunch of years in a row? Firstly, having a highly talented roster doesn't make you a great team, right? The Eagles dream team of the early 2000s had a great roster, but they didn't win. I think the Jets have a great roster with the potential to be great, but I'm not ready to buy into them yet because we haven't seen anything from them yet. So, yes, they have a great roster, but I'm not buying into them yet. Now, would I be surprised if they won the division? If Rodgers stays healthy despite him hobbling yesterday and I don't know if you saw him taking off his sock and looking at his right foot.
They say it's blisters, but man, that was freaky for a second. So, if they stay healthy with all that talent, they could absolutely make a run for a Super Bowl. I'm not buying it yet. I'm so out on the Bills. The Bills are a team that are on the decline.
Makes me even want to be in on the Bills more. They just lost their two top wide receivers. I love Josh Allen. I agree. Josh Allen's a top three quarterback in the NFL.
Top four, right there among the best. But he has no one to throw to. James Cook was good, but like... He was very good last year. But at the end of the day, he's good partly because teams are so worried about them throwing the ball and Josh Allen running the ball.
Now that threat of them throwing the ball, who's he gonna throw to? Keon Coleman. He's a rookie second round pick. Yeah, should have been a first round pick. Should have been a very good player. He could be very good.
But how many... What about Dalton Kincaid? I loved him coming out of Utah. Came on strong at the end of last year. Sure. But again, I mean, second year guy.
Had a promising season but wasn't great. So let me ask you this. I'm just not convinced. The Dolphins to me are the best team.
Okay, that's fine. You're entitled to that opinion. And if you want to say the Dolphins are going to the AFCs, I can't really debate it. Let me just ask you this though. Just give me yes or no. Well actually, give me your four division winners first because it's easier to do it this way.
Because then it doesn't pigeonhole you. So yeah, the Dolphins win in the AFC East. Who wins the AFC North right now? I got the Ravens. Okay, who wins the South? Texans.
You don't have to ask. So you have the Chiefs, the Texans, the Ravens, and the Dolphins as a playoff team. Those are my four. Although the North is so hard to pick, I can see the Steelers or the Bengals.
Just give me the answer. Ravens. Are the Bengals a playoff team to you? Just yes or no? Yes.
Okay, I have a surprise and hesitation there. I'm down on the Bengals too. Are the Jets a playoff team to you this year? Will they be one of your playoff teams?
You only got two spots left. Yes. That's six. Buffalo, are they a playoff team to you? They're, I'm so down on the Bills. Probably, but I can see them absolutely not making the playoffs. Yes or no? Because this is going to be your seventh team then. You already gave me four, and then you put the Bengals in, and you put the Jets in. So yes or no? Is it the Bills?
I'm going to say no. I'm putting in the Steelers as my seventh team. Okay, so you put the Steelers in. Yes. No Jacksonville? No.
No Chargers? No. No Colts? No. No Browns? No.
Yeah. The Patriots? Raiders? Raiders! Raiders! Okay, so you're, so Santer's seven playoff teams, in no particular order, Dolphins, Ravens, you have the Texans, you have the Chiefs, and then your wildcard teams were the Bengals, the Jets, and the Steelers.
Stu, who are your seven right now? Give me your division winners real quickly. Division winners, I will go Bills, Bengals, Texans, Chiefs. Bills, Bengals, Texans, Chiefs, and who are your three wildcards? I'll go with the two AFC East teams, so Jets and Dolphins, and I will go with the Ravens. So I will leave out the Steelers.
Forget everything I just said in this segment, because now I'm going to try to pencil in the seven. Chiefs win the West, hot take. Texans win the South, I almost wanted to go to Jaguars, because everyone's going to take the Texans, but I think the Texans are that good. Bengals win the North, Bills win the East. Ravens are in, Dolphins are in.
So that leaves me with one spot left. Do I take the Jets? Do I take the Steelers? Do I take the Brownies? Do I take the Jags?
Do I take the Chargers? It would be very jet-like for them to go 10-7 and miss the playoffs. It would be. But I do think that three AFC East teams are going to be in.
Oh boy, this is tough. They're supposed to be killing you as a Pats fan. I mean, after like 20 years of dominance, you're looking at three AFC East teams and you guys looking at, you know, number two overall pick again.
You know what? I'm going to go to the Jaguars. Screw what I said about three AFC East teams going in.
I'm going to go to the Jaguars. Right now, just, those are the way that I feel that this is going to go on May 30th. Subject to change, obviously. And here's the thing. I don't think any of what the three of us said. It's crazy. None of us are crazy.
No. All of us could be right, and I would be fine with any of us, because there are so many good, especially in the preseason, it's really hard to know. And then injuries, you just never know. But there are a lot of really good teams in the AFC.
We'll put it this way. In the AFC, the only teams that I can't see making the playoffs this year are the Patriots and the Broncos. Patriots, Broncos, and let me throw in the Raiders, too. I think a lot of people are going to say Tennessee as well.
So you probably put them in. But like, if they're a wildcard, if they go like, if they like, is it crazy to say they go nine and eight? And I don't know if that's a playoff team and how crammed up it's going to be, but I'm not going to say that. The Raiders, the Patriots, and the Broncos are the only three teams in the AFC I just cannot see making the playoffs. And it's so funny because we thought the same thing about the Texans, that the Texans were going to be terrible. They're going to be a top five pick in the draft again. And when you have a rookie quarterback, you just never know. Now, I don't think any of us believe in Bo Nix, but what if he just ends up being a breakout player? He's just awesome, and no one expected it, and boom, here the Broncos are getting into the playoffs. And I also guess the Raiders, like Stu, can you see any way the Raiders make the playoffs this year? They made a nine last year, and McDaniels is out. You got Pearson, but like...
I don't like the schedule. You got Minshew, and you got... I'd be shocked. Do not knock Gardner Minshew. That is my boy. No, I had Gardner Minshew on this network when he was at Washington State.
I like Minshew. But like, come on. Last year he had a really good season, and they almost made the playoffs, but they didn't.
Anyway, this is Zach Gelb's show on the Infinity Sports Network. The poll question. The Miami Dolphins will win the AFC East, be a wildcard team, miss the playoffs. Right now, 16.7% are with Sampda that they'll win the AFC East. 36.4% say miss the playoffs.
47% say be a wildcard team. So let's get to Zach Gelb's show. PSI, PSI, PSI, PSI. It's a Thursday. What do you have to say?
It's the weekly Zach Gelb show, PSA. Who's with me? Let's go! Come on! Alrighty, Stu. I feel like you always go last. So I'll let you go first here.
What do you got cooking, Stu? Alright, so my PSA is, I guess in short, buildings need more bathrooms, especially the building that we are in. So this is my conundrum this morning. I had a situation where I definitely really had to go to the bathroom. It was not number one.
Well, it's pretty obvious that it wasn't number one. Did you have your coffee yet? I had my coffee in the morning, which is part of the issue. We're ready to go. This is a code red.
Alert, alert, alert. Stu has to go to the potty. Now, the bathrooms in our building, there are a few that we have, but each bathroom has like one or two stalls. It's not like a big building that has like six, seven, eight.
Put it this way. On this floor, the bathrooms I know of. Yes, there's two that I know of. There's two, and they have a combination of four stalls. Two of the stalls are very, very small.
Yes. So I try one bathroom, both stalls taken. I try another bathroom, both stalls taken. I go upstairs to the 11th floor in the bathroom. That's one that I sometimes frequent, both stalls taken. So look, it wound up working out.
I had to wait a few minutes. But oh, I wish we were in a building that had multiple places to, you know, relieve yourself. The poop is what Stu is saying. So Stu's PSA, if the bosses are listening, get more bathrooms. Yes. It's a pretty good PSA.
I wish we were only on series for a second because I could have a pretty good nickname for you, but I would get fined by the FCC if I said it here. And maybe I should save this for another PSA. Stu hits, let's just say that.
The PG version. Maybe I'll save this for another PSA, but not having enough bathrooms is one thing. The worst is when you really have to go, you get to the stall, and someone's peed all over the seats or something.
Yes. Especially here. Or they have left a tuxy roll in the toilet. Oh, it's like, dude, I don't have time for this. Nastiness.
I don't have time for that. What do you got, Santa? Alright, so mine is something that's actually happening and has happened to me over the past couple days and especially is happening now.
When you have, whether it's- Hold on. By the way, so Santa's been out for two and a half weeks, and he had a bleep storm come his way with a move, he had COVID, there was a tree that fell down in front of his new house. I have never been more excited. Like, don't be a team on Hard Knocks that has a lot of hype and has no juice or buzz to it when it actually plays out. I even said to Stu last week, I go, when Santa comes back and we do PSA, I feel like he's just gonna be mother bleeping so many people. But go ahead. Oh, I got a lot of mother bleepers out there, but I actually, you know, the people outside of me in this moving process have been fairly decent, except for a few situations.
And this is it. When you have like a technician or delivery or someone coming to your house, they always give you some crazy window. Noon to four, 8 a.m. to noon, whatever it is, they give you like some four or five hour window. You have a five hour damn window. Don't be late for the window.
You're not like giving you a 30 minute window, sorry I'm running a couple minutes late, an hour window, I'm running a little bit later. Hey, I'm supposed to be there at noon, I'm gonna be there at 12, 15. You have from 8 to noon and you can't get there in four hours? Today we had a couch being delivered from 3 to 7. My train gets in at 730, my wife's gonna pick me up from the train station for the first time and I'm excited about it to have my baby in the car and to get picked up from the train. Here we had delivery from 3 to 7, four hour window.
They just told us that the person delivering before us has 26 items being delivered. They're not gonna get to our house until 9 o'clock tonight. How are you two hours late to a four hour window? If you know that you're gonna be on the late side, then make it from 5 to 8. Don't make it from 3 to 7 and show two hours late to a four hour window.
How is that possible? So, I actually thought you were in a little trouble in your relationship because I came back from going outside during one of the breaks and I just hear your wife talking about a couch and I'm like, did Santa's wife just tell him to sleep on the couch tonight? Well, here's the one thing. This couch, I've actually slept on this couch before. My mother-in-law has it. Very comfortable, so if it ever does come to that point... Oh, it's not a new couch? No, it's a brand new couch. We just got the same one that my mother-in-law has. Oh, same model, okay. So, we know it's a great couch.
So, if it does ever come to a situation where I have to sleep on the couch, I'm excited that this is a comfortable one. Here is my appearance or part of my appearance on 560WQAM. It's Hochman Crowder.
The producer is Alejandro Solana. He's been texting me non-stop anytime the Rangers lose to the Panthers, which has been twice. The dude doesn't even like hockey and all he has been doing is blowing up my phone and I lost it on him when I did my guest appearance on QAM. The only one I'm really mad at is actually just Solana.
Like, when I saw those rats getting thrown on the ice last night, I thought they were throwing Solana on the ice because he resembles a rat these days. Oh, he's scared, punk-ass. What is going on here? You're a punk-ass. Wow!
What is happening here? What happened between you and Solana during this series? Solana touched me. Solana told me that you were going to be fired up about him. It was after game one.
That's what it was when they lost. And he starts firing me off like different text messages of Bobrovsky when the Heat lose every year. I don't send them messages of like Pat Riley and Eric Spulstra and Jimmy Butler and all those losers.
Like, I don't do that. So it's like one of those things where I know he doesn't actually care about hockey. This is my team.
This is the team I care about. And he starts just texting me over and over and over again. And then I don't hear anything from that cockroach after game two or three. And then he pops up again last night on my Twitter feed. He's a pain in the ass.
I love Solana, but he's a royal pain in the ass. You know what we should be throwing instead of rats? Those trash Katz's Deli sandwiches. All patient fans should just be throwing those trash Katz's Deli sandwiches, baby. Dude, you are a one-trick pony. You are a one-trick pony.
If it wasn't for Katz's Deli, you would have no material. Come up with something new. I stayed with Solana on this. I love getting underneath someone's skin.
Because this show is the blind leading the blind. He has obviously gotten under yours, man. I have never been more proud of Solana than I am right now. I'll admit it. I hear that he was peppering you with texts and gifs after game one. And to be quite honest, I love the fact that you called him a punk-ass. It was just annoying. It was like whack-a-mole. He popped up and I just wanted to smack him off my phone and block him. So I had no agenda going into that interview. And when they just brought it up, I lost it.
Like I didn't even know I had the word punk-ass in my vocabulary. So here's my PSA, because a lot of people have been texting me during this playoff run. And Solana's claiming he's a Panthers fan. He's not.
He doesn't have a dog in the fight. I have Flyers fans texting me. Devils fans texting me. Islanders fans texting me. Because those three fan bases are concerned that the Rangers are going to win the cup and then I'm going to throw it back in their face, which I'm not.
Hate to break it to you guys. If the Rangers win the cup, I don't care if you're a Flyers fan. I don't care if you're an Islanders fan. I don't care if you're a Devils fan. I'm just going to be happy. It's not in my thought process to text you and be like, nah nah nah nah nah, we won the cup, you didn't.
I'm going to celebrate it with fellow Rangers fans. So here is my PSA. If you don't have a dog in the fight in a playoff series, don't text me about the damn playoff series. I don't want to hear from Solana. I don't want to hear from my friends that are Devils fans, Islanders fans, Flyers. I don't want to hear from you. Stop texting me. I don't, like, I do not care about your hockey opinions.
I don't. I want to text my dad, my uncle, and maybe more Ash and then a little bit of Ak, too. Because Ak and I have had a little bit of a good correspondence during the playoffs. It's like a love-hate relationship when Ak and I text. But then sometimes Ak's not watching the game a lot, so like, fine, screw Ak.
He doesn't even want to be a part of this. Sorry, Ak, I don't mean that actually. But, like, that's it.
I actually prefer that. Yeah, just my dad and my uncle. And sometimes, you know, I share a few messages with Boomer Esiason. Outside of that, I don't want to hear from you.
And there will be one, I'll give one exception to one Devils fan because I trust his hockey opinions. That's my dear friend Kevin Kanesa. He can text me because he's not a pain in the ass. He's not a juvenile, petulant punk ass.
He's not. And that's, he's a good dude. So that's my PSA. All right, that's the Zach Gelb Show PSA.
Well, come on back. We will do a wide receiver duo draft. The best wide receiving duos in the NFL.
It's a tongue twister. Wide receiving duos. But first up with the latest Infinity Sports Network update, it's the Ackman Rich Ackerman.
All righty, this is the Zach Gelb Show on the Infinity Sports Network. Jalen Waddle, paid. Tyree Kill, already paid. We have five duos in the NFL that each receiver makes at least $20 million a year. So Stu, cue me up some NFL music por favor.
We will do a wide receiver duo draft right here. We will make nine selections total, three apiece. Stu, I give you heads. Sampter will get tails. Heads. Oh, I said I'm giving you heads. Oh. And Sampter will get tails.
It is tails. What pick you want? I'll go number one. Okay. Stu, I'm thinking of a number. Is it two or is it three? Three.
It is two. You have the second pick, so I'll take the third pick. All righty, Sampter, you are number one. I'm not giving you the Mike Dick of middle finger when I do this. But that was when he gave that photo, I once asked him, when he had that photo of him giving the middle finger to the fan, I go, Coach, I was at charity event.
What were you doing here? I was just telling that fan he was number one. Number one, just like me.
What do you got, Sampter? I think the number one is pretty easy. It's Tyree Kill, Jalen Waddle. Clearly the number one duo in the NFL. I'm taking them with the first overall pick.
Okay, Stu. Number two. I will go with Devante Smith and AJ Brown of the Eagles with my second pick. I will take. So I get two selections here. Two, two, two, two, two. I'm going to take. I think this will surprise some people. I'm going Cooper, Kup, and Puka Nakua.
And then on the snake around. I am going to take. Oh, wow. I'm between two duos. Would you guys have taken Kup or Nakua just wondering?
I already took them. By the time this gets back to me, they would have been off the board, right? I had them ranked number six on my book. I had them fifth. Okay, so they both would have been off the board. Yes.
Did I reach them? Oh, boy. I'm between the Bengals and the Niners here. I'm going to go Jamar Chase, T. Higgins. Yeah. So that was what I preferred.
I was kind of with you. Whoever you were going to take between the Bengals and the Niners, I was going to take. So give me Debo and Ayuk.
Samter, this is where it gets a little tricky. I mean, you guys just took two duos that clearly ranked behind my next pick. How you guys aren't going with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin? I know they're getting older. These guys have had like 5,000 yards. I mean, these guys are ridiculous.
And they won a Super Bowl. So Chris, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin. That is my guys. And then I, man, now for me, it gets a little bit interesting.
This is where it gets fun. There are a lot of duos left, right? And if we're picking three, I got one pick left. And there's a lot of duos here. Very good on the map.
Now let me reset it here real quick. Man, oh man. Samter has Tyree Killen, Jalen Waddle. Then Stu took A.J. Brown, Devante Smith. I then took Cooper Cupp and Puka Nakua. On the snake around, I took Jamar Chase and T. Higgins. Stu goes Debo Samuel, my BFF, and Brandon Ayuk. And Samter just took Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
I mean, I think I'm just going to have to stick with my big board. Number six on my big board was Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. So I'm going to take what I think is the best wide receiver in the NFL and a second year guy who had 900 yards last year.
I feel like maybe it's a little bit, because there's a lot of guys out there. But Justin Jefferson's just so good, it's hard not to put Jordan Addison, who was one of the, you know, former Bullet in a Cough winner there at Pitt. So I'm going to go with them as my final pick.
So Stu, still on the board. You got C.D. Lamb and Brandon Cooks. You got D.K. Metcalf, maybe Tyler Lockett or Jackson Smith and Jigba, depending on who you like there. You got D.J.
Moore, Eleanor Dunze. You got Stefan Diggs and Nikko Collins. You got Devontae Adams and Jacoby Myers.
You got DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley. What are you going to do? I'm between two.
It's very tough. I'm between two. I'll tell you the two I'm between. The Texans duo of Diggs and Collins and then the Bears of D.J. Moore and I'll put Keenan Allen in that list. Not the Cowboys? Cooks and Lamb is a top six or seven wide receiver, it feels like. OK.
I'm going to go with Stefan Diggs and Nikko Collins. Wow. I think we could have done four picks each, honestly. You want to do one more? Yeah. Let's do one more round. OK. So we're going to do four here.
All right. So that leaves me with Lamb and Cooks, D.K. and Lockett, Moore and Allen. I am going to take Lamb and Cooks and I will take D.K. I believe Jackson Smith and Jacob is going to be great, but just because of how much longer he's been around and how underrated he's been, I'll take Tyler Lockett. Stu?
OK. I will go Keenan Allen and D.J. Moore.
That's a good one. And I love Keenan Allen. He has problems staying healthy.
I actually I think a doonsay is going to have a monster year for them. I do, too. And honestly, when we had him at the Super Bowl, he was such a likable guy and bigger than I thought he'd be. Our boss, David Mayernik. And we like the only time I've ever seen David Mayernik get really excited out of all these events was when I took a picture for him with him and Eric Dickerson. That was the one time we're like Mayernik was just losing his mind. And for a good reason.
I'll keep it off the air. But we finished the interview with Rome a doonsay. And you know that meme of the guy that comes up and he goes, I want to shake your hand. I want to shake your hand.
That was Mayernik. He went up to a doonsay. He's like, I want to shake your hand. He goes, that was a great interview. I'm blown away by you.
You're going to be a stud. So David Mayernik, big fan of Rome a doonsay. But anyway, last duo, last pick. Sam Tor.
What do you got? So I'm between two. Either DeAndre Hopkins and Ridley or underrated. Now, granted, the second guy hasn't done much, but we know he's talented. I'm on Ross and Brown and Jameson Williams.
But I think I'm going to go. I mean, DeAndre Hopkins is so good. Calvin Ridley is a monster when he's playing.
So I'm going to go with D Hop and Calvin Ridley is my final pick with a little hair feeling some regret that I'm on Ross and Brown was not selected on this draft. Yeah, I just think Jameson Williams has to show you more. Yeah. I mean, we know the talent. We just have to see more. I agree with you.
That's that's why I leaned the other way. So the final results here. Wide receiver duo drafts. Sam Tor has Tyree Kill and Jalen Waddle, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley.
Stu has A.J. Brown and Devante Smith. Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, Stefan Diggs and Nico Collins, D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen.
And your boy got Cooper Cup Pukanakua, Jamar Chase, T. Higgins, C.D. Lamb, Brandon Cooks and DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett probably should swap the order with DK and Tyler Lamb and Cooks. But, you know, it is what it is.
You know, it's surprising to me. I thought you were crazy going with Lockett over JSN, but Lockett has I didn't realize his 4000 yard seasons, another year at 900 yards, another year at 960. And I think if JSN can stay healthy, he's going to be a stud.
No, I agree. In my head, when I'm looking at the teams with the three, I was looking at DK and JSN, not Lockett. But I didn't realize, I mean, Lockett is a lot better than you. 100 catches, 82 catches, 10 touchdowns, 8 touchdowns, 9 touchdowns. Tyler Lockett is kind of a, he hasn't made a Pro Bowl since his rookie year in 2015. This dude doing nothing but catching balls, making yards and scoring touchdowns and he hasn't made a Pro Bowl in nine years.
No, he's a consistent football player. There's no doubt about that. Alrighty, that's all the time we have today. Big thanks to Michael Penix Jr. for stopping by earlier. If you missed any of that conversation, use the rewind function on the Odyssey app, the free Odyssey app.
