so mad. Why are they so mad?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
They don't like to be wrong. I mean Melck you

I think and the number five overall player. Like they
freak out when guys that they think are gonna be

I tell you, Matt, So what do you think that
Ronnie's gonna have to play by the spin doctors? Little
miss can't be wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
You know, I was thinking about Joe Clapp earlier today,
just walking the dog.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Should we go? Should we start the show and then
discuss them?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, let's start show.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
They just they popped Wait wait, wait, stopping again, stopping again.
They popped up on air. He's just look so mad. Yeah,
and it's supposed to be a celebratory occasion.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It's not about you. It's not about you and where
you have him ranked and where you want him to
go and team needs and dialing the pro this Mike
Tomlin is such a strong coach. He can deal with
the dion and he's going to be a great mentor
to Shador.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
And you know, I'm sitting there, I'm sitting in my
house like, look at this guy. Why is he's my friend?
Why is he acting like this? And you know, I'm
real judgmental, and I'm feeling like, you know, on my
high horse because nobody picks your door. And then I'm thinking, well, look,
he's on a suit, in a suit making a bunch
of money, and I'm sitting in my basement covered in
sores like a like, all angry and bitter, but still
(02:23):
I just don't. I don't. Look, the media can't get
a guy drafted. They're they're going to go through their process.
The media can't get you drafted. They can't. No, only
Magic Johnson is dumb enough to draft somebody because of
the media and the strawberry waffles.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Well, only magic when you recognize that's when you recognize
that this, this was going to be a special relationship
was when he made them strawberry pancakes.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
The media can't. The media can't. The NFL is a
pro league. The media can't get you drafted where they
want you draft.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, they they I think I think it's one of
the great things, not just because he's our friend, but
it's one of the great things that separates DJ from
all these others.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
He's not emotionally invested in all. He's not at all easy.
He's got a nice and easy way of delivery, and
he doesn't get You don't get the feeling that he's
preaching to you. You don't get. You're absolutely right, Matt,
And I'm not just saying this because he's our friend.
Like you said, you just don't get the I mean,
Joe Klat's our friend, for God's sakes, I mean, but
(03:24):
you just don't get the feeling that he's preaching to
you or talking down to you. He's sharing information in
a jovial way with a great attitude. And a lot
of people don't like Collinsworth, but that's kind of how
he is, you know, He's always seems like he's in
a kind of a good positive Yeah, putting out the
information shall rate the kids, man celebrate the people in
after How do you talk over? How do you talk
(03:45):
over the whole Jackson dark Highlight? Talking about start to show? Yeah,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I recognize that I'm
covered in sores and I'm angry, and you know, I'm
not jealous. It's not like I rather want to work
the draft.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Joke boy, just jell us, joke boy, choke boy.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
He who does not understand your silence will probably not
understand your words.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
A gong Ley Yukes, it's Petro some money and the
NFL Draft is going to resume in fifty four and
a half minutes, and we were here for it last night,
did the show live throughout that first round, got quite
a few picks in, got the slide.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
And everybody talking about though that we didn't have the
Raider pick live. What do you want from us? Blood?
The most important thing that we could do that Matt
and I's job is to get the freaking breaks in. Okay,
it's not over on the air. We got the breaks
in and then we got out for the Clipper game
and the Clippers won. But that's not our you know,
(05:01):
we handled it great. Everybody loved our draft coverage.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah. Look at hindsight, though, I will see I'll take
a little bit of responsibility on that one.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Oh, I say, you should have been able to time
it up. You don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I just I should have known that the Raiders were
going to make the statement of oh Ashton Genti's here,
We're going to turn the picking in five seconds. You
know that was obvious that And I should have recommended
what the other.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
One had to have the other one timed up before that,
and the one before that timed up. You can't be
that hard on yourself in this situation. Mat But I
don't know, are we doing the flapping and the sound
and the whole deal today? Are we blowing the wild?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Think? So? I don't. I feel like it's a first
round thing. I think we'll just kind of on the
check in mean yeah, I mean otherwise we're going to
be flapping every ninety seconds, and I don't think that's
nice what we're doing. I don't eve think Fox Sports
Radio is doing it today. Maybe they are, I don't know,
I don't know, I don't know. I was listening last
night on the way home, trying to get my UH
on the way over to the bolt to keep up
(05:59):
with the draft, and they had Oklahoma City Memphis basketball on.
I was like, oh, well, thanks, thanks for that, appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I was listening to Fox Sports Radio on a serious
XM because obviously said there.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Was a glitch in the system of some kind.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Map seemed like it. You know what I should have done.
I should have gone to the iHeartRadio app exactly Fox
Sports Radios button there. I screwed up. Man. Yesterday was
a disaster for me, almost as big of a disaster
as it was for Joel Klatt.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
What happened to you yesterday?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Well, just the fact I didn't realize I should have
gone to Fox Sports Radio, Douglas and all that. No otherwise,
it was great, was great day.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Find you were here. We had a good time. You know.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I had a nice long conversation with Joe Ortiz, the
general manager of the Chargers after the pick. A lot
of excitement around the Chargers facility. Didn't think Hampton was
going to be there. That's the big running back they drafted,
big running back. Let's join us in the next segment.
We don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I mean, young rookie guy moving all around Los Angeles,
but I'm sure we'll get him on at some point.
Big good looking back out of North Carolina that the
Chargers drafted. Rams traded out. So that's the only first
round print pick of the city. And he will join
us this hour. David Vase will join us in our
final hour as we cover all this stuff. And Okay,
(07:15):
so Matt had a good day, not as good of
a day as Joe Klatt, but he did screw up
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, but I think so we're started, right, we already
we already got into this. We're good now, Well not really,
it's a Frogman Friday. Oh there we go. Let's get
that prog Man.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Dance with the waves like Matt Smith, move with the sea.

do something.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
You want to listen to me for a minute.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
During the war, I was in New DT's that stranded
in these rafts before.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
All right, then tell us what to do.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Well, let's not sit here and wait, Let's do something.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Let's think first. Huh. That's the first law of survival.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
Check, I mean the water.

Kats is traveling home from the desert. And tomorrow we
got Clippers House Nuggets Game four and three on AM
eleven fifty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app for
your smartphone, and we'll have the NFL Draft, or at
(10:30):
least our coverage of the NFL Draft, along with the
other great sports talk accoutrement as great sports talk ours continue.
What were you saying there.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Matt As same as I was walking the dogs and
I was thinking about the shador thing and the Dion thing.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Uh huh, Well, how could you not, Matt? Yeah, I
mean I thought, really the only thing in your head
would be lebron Can balla.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Well, that was in my head while I was sitting
in the water, and I was very upset about that,
because normally it's a very peaceful existence. Instead, I was
singing that and trying to come up with some parody
lyrics that maybe we'll try to piece together over the weekend.
But I was thinking about Joel and Joe Sellers, Yeah,
been part of the Colorado program, and just how he
(11:15):
and I guess it's it's self explanatory because they've all
just bowed down to the altar of Dion and let
him run rough shot over their program. And I know
it was a mess, but if you're Joel, you were
there when it was.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Still Now you tell everybody close your eyes and think
of Matt walking on.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
The beach right walking the dog. And I was like,
why would you not take this opportunity to expose the
negatives surrounding Dion? The pomp, the fact that Shador had
randomly two Louis Baton trunks that are like thirty grand
(11:51):
a piece next to a chair like Hey, check this out.
Here's just two random Louis Baton drunks. That's what Louis
was oridge.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
That's the only thing Louis Baton himself actually ever made
was Yeah, that's that's how he became famous making trunks
for rich travelers because it was two and sad.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
And chador does not need a trunk, does not need
a steamer. This was two hundred years ago.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
But you know, you could use him as furniture.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
You know, I think about that, like, what what in
what world does that make any sense to have this
legendary theme that I'm getting drafted. Oh, by the way,
here's these two sweet Louis Baton trunks. It's about fifty
k just sitting right there, stacked on top of you.
They're not functional, they just.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Well, of course.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
When he goes to when he goes on a steam
cruise across the Atlantic to summer in Italy and Spain,
he's gonna need those trunks. Yes, you know, those are
beautiful things. Why would Oh, here's Matt. Listen, Matt say,
there there's the waves. There's his dog, Skeeter as Peter's
(13:00):
dead Willow excuse me, Well, you know, Skeeter's spirit, Skeeter
little jealous of Willow, Matt's walking along, thinking about Shador,
thinking about Joel, thinking about Louis Riddick all angry, thinking
about Kyper can't even control himself to do his job.
(13:20):
Just unbelievable draft night. And I gotta say, like, I
never watched, like I'm never you know me mad, I'm
never super engaged in the draft. I mean, sometimes the
later rounds, I'm interested. There's always players I know in
every round and it's interesting, but I don't like, oh God,
(13:41):
they're gonna trade up, They're gonna trade down, Like I'm
just not. I've never been that guy. And last night
I was engaged for the same reason everybody else was.
They were ruining the show. The last time I was
disengaged in the draft was the one that got Trey
Wingo fired. Tell everybody sad story, Yeah, because he acted
like such a story complete idiot, like just a complete fool.
(14:05):
Let's let him celebrate. And I recognize that I'm not
on the draft coverage. These are networks that I'm familiar with.
These are broadcasters, all of which that I know quite
well and have been on TV with Joel Klatt, Charles Davis,
YouTube Matt with Daniel Jeremiah and all the NFL network people,
And I realize that I'm covered in swords sores downstairs
(14:27):
in my house staring at the television and going, you know,
I get it. I see the irony there. I understand.
But at the same time, it's a shock to me
that they all were so personally offended that none of
the teams picked the guy they wanted them to pick
where they wanted him to get.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Picked, which has nothing to do with them.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
And distracted from the entire show.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Right, And it belittles the guy that is selected exactly,
like not to do the Trey Wingo here, but the
guy that was picked to the Steelers in place of
Shador where they all wanted Shador to go. Instead, they
take Derek Harmon. They left his mom on life support
until after he got picked in the first round, and
then they went and said goodbye to her that night.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Wingo would have had a field day.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Right, And like, that's the guy the Steelers took, and
that's how they treated that selection. Just think about that.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
The whole time that they were talking about him. Oh
they couldn't.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Instead of talking about Derek ut They talked about the
Shador and what a travesty it was that Shador wasn't
selected here, and it's like, holy crap, could you idiots
be any dummer because you feel as though it was
it was an attack on your analysis that these teams
(15:49):
who spend millions of dollars on this area of scouts,
regional scouts, director of college personnel, general manager, assistant general.
These are billion dollar positions to come up with the
right players, and none of them in the first round
thought that Shoudour was a first round quarterball.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
We were talking about it yesterday. And you know, with all
due respect to all these people, that we know the
draft really is a douche fest. And a great deal
of NFL coverage or professional sports coverage or any sports
coverage on a national level is a real douche fest
in twenty twenty five. And I mean it ain't be
no cook out there anymore. I mean it's a real
douche fest. And that's what pre half in post is
(16:30):
in NFL coverage too. You got to get through all
the douchary and is Rob Gronkowski a dog or a
dude and all that, and then eventually the game starts
and you're able to concentrate on the game. But the
NFL Draft is just hours and hours of the douchefest
with no payoff, with no payoff.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Unless they're right, then everybody high bies. But if they're wrong,
they tell you why these teams are idiots.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Well, and then last night it's like the douchefest revolted
on itself because they didn't get what they wanted, they
didn't get the story they wanted, and they ruined the
draft for everybody else who was watching. It was really
an amazing thing. And I don't know what's gonna happen tonight.
I don't know if he's gonna get picked. Wow, Wow,
I don't know. Stuck button there, Matt, But I don't
(17:15):
know if he's gonna get picked early here and everybody's
gonna calm down. And but the fact that he's not
going in the first round and all these guys start
talking about Tom Brady and Drew Breeze, and that was
a little ridiculous, A little ridiculous. I mean, it's just
slightly it just kept slightly ridiculous. It kept getting worse
and worse, and look, I got nothing against like I
(17:37):
was surprised that they had the success they had in
year two, but they still I mean it was they
had a lot of success, but it they didn't. They
didn't win the national championship, they didn't play in the
College Football Playoff. They were no. They got destroyed by
more purposed big twelve teams like BYU and all that.
(18:00):
Like I'm all for it, Like I watched a lot
of games and was like, wow, this guy looks really
accurate here, this guy looks really good here. But at
the same time, look, there's two quarterbacks in the NFL,
Lamar Jackson, right and Jayden Dane Hurts. Well, no, not him,
but Daniels, the guy Daniel, Yeah, DC. And those two
(18:24):
guys I have known since they were in college. You know,
because this is what I do for work, that they
have almost untenable mothers with them at all times, and
those stories have become bigger stories as the years have
gone on. You know, now that it's twenty twenty five
and Lamar Jackson all this, everybody knows Lamar Jackson's mom
is super involved. Everybody knows Jayden Daniel's mom is super
(18:47):
involved and ruined his connection with Juju at the USC
game right the day before she blew out her knee.
Like I've heard those stories for years, but I also
know how special those quarterbacks are and those coaches like
John Harbaugh pretty smart, dude. The people running the Commanders
seem like they know what they're doing, the people that
bought him from Snyder, and they do what they weigh
(19:08):
out how much of a problem is this guy's inner
circle or whatever relative to how good he is, And
it's like a scale with ballast on it, you know what,
I'm sallast and that scale is that scale whether you're
talking about Tim Tebow, Johnny Manziel, Colin Kaepernick, any of
(19:30):
these guys over the years where there's a lot of
media coverage, there's a scale to how good is this
guy and how much are we going to have to
deal with if we take him and Matt I don't
think that scale is really Insadure's favor because if you
pick him and it doesn't go well, and you end
up getting criticized by Dion or he's not playing well,
(19:52):
or he's not playing, or he is playing and he's
not playing well, your coordinator is getting criticized by Dion.
It becomes a national skill they're they're they're already making
it a race story about racism, saying, well, you don't
like him because he has gold chains. Every guy that
got drafted, even the white guy got chained. Like what
(20:12):
are we doing like stuff, trying to make a story.
He's not good enough for the headache of bringing that
family and that whole brand into the building in the
first round. It's pretty simple. The market just told you
what it was.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
They don't necessarily like I mean, you know this, The
NFL does not like bombastic individuals.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I don't want it.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
That's not what they want in their life.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Lest you bet, you better be superman, right, you bet?
And there are guys like that until until you don't
perform that well anymore, and then we're not gonna deal
with it. Like Yasiel Puigue for the Dodgers is a
great example, absolute circus. Couldn't get home at night, couldn't
get there on time, couldn't do anything. Once his performance
(20:53):
dropped off, they got rid of him because it wasn't
worth it anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I just you know that that. They'd already start the
leak out in in Indianapolis two months ago. At the combine,
it was already out there that a lot of these
combine meetings to go well, and yeah, people get upset.
It's like it's it's kind of hard to bring a
guy into a locker room whose dad was was out
(21:20):
clowning people on Twitter by saying, you're a joke. My
son's top five, my son's top five, and it's like,
that's not how this process works, man. You don't just
speak that. And it comes to fruition that unless his
number retired, unless that's different dean, unless ball right, And
I mean like.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
This wasn't an issue when he played for his dad. No,
because he played for his dad. But he's gonna have
to play for somebody else. But like the one dad's
gonna get asked about it every single day. Who wants
that in their building?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah. The one comment that I think probably made an
impact on a lot of teams was him saying, draft me.
If you want to turn your franchise around, I did
it at Jackson's State. I did it at Colorado. You
don't turn NFL franchises around. They're already pointing you. Dion
(22:06):
was on the Cowboys, the forty nine ers, and the Falcons.
They don't give a damn that Dion was on their team.
They are the Cowboys, the forty nine ers, and the Falcons.
While he was there, he was on the team. When
he was gone, they were still exactly the same. And
that is and you could say, when Shador was at
Jackson State, did he really do They didn't win the championship.
(22:29):
Nobody was really paying attention to Jackson State highlights other
than maybe thirty seconds at the back end of a
sports center.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
He was better at Colorado than I thought he would be. Yeah,
but what did they really doesn't make a first round pick.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
He went thirteen and twelve. He was one and eight
against ranked teams. They didn't win the conference, they didn't
win a bowl game, Like that's it's that turning a
franchise around. So to have a guy come in and say,
if you want me to do what I did for
these places and him not realize, well, you don't want
to say that if you didn't win a freaking title
or win your conference, like that's that's not how this works.
(23:02):
Your number can get retired because you turned around the
Colorado Buffalo program. Kart retired because your dad's there and
everybody's terrified he's gonna leave. So they just do everything
he says, and that's truly what it is. You know,
they got the Colorado program held hostage.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
And I heard Joel talking last night. And Joel, obviously,
I mean, he helped get Dion hired, and I know
that for a fact. He told me they were gonna
hire Dion and I was like early he was like,
this is what we believe in. And look what it's
become Colorado's talking point for everybody. It's obviously polarizing, but
you do look at what it's become. But at the
(23:37):
same time, it's like to say they haven't been they
haven't played good football Colorado in twenty years. Well that's
not true. Coach Mack had him in the PAC ten
twelfth championship, They played in the PAC twelve championship in
the last twenty years and they and Deon didn't play
for any championship. Sure he got the team, you know,
(23:59):
So I don't I just don't know what I mean,
like that that's gonna ring hollow. I don't understand. Yeah,
I do not understand trying to speak something into existence
and then it doesn't happen, and you sit there and
blame the entire market, right, it's like, Okay, well, look,
you came up with a product, you sold the crap
out of the product, no one bought it, and now
(24:20):
you're going to throw a tantrum. It's it's a very
interesting draft, maybe the most interesting of all time.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Well, Marion Hampton was drafted at number twenty two. The
Chargers took him. He was one of the He was
the last remaining unanimous pick, according to Joe Ortiz, on
their board. All others had already been selected. They didn't
think a Marian Hampton was going to be there. He was,
and so after fielding a number of trade calls just
(24:47):
to kind of see what was being offered, they rebuffed
all those and decided they would much rather take the
last remaining unanimous with all of their scouts first round
graded player on their list. He flew out to LA
early this morning, and I believe he's going to join
us next I hope.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
So, you know, it's a it's pretty interesting because the
entire NFL draft and what it what it is, media
wized this mutual masturbation of these guys. It really it
really feels like a gigantic overview of two entitled information
(25:28):
guys fighting at a Starbucks in a hotel lobby and
just bickering at each other.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
That actually happened.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Yeah, I mean that's that is what this is. And
we have no game to say, Hey, look, at least
there's a game. You know, we can suffer these self
important guys one upping each other about what they know
and what they don't know. We can suffer that because
there's going to be a game. But there's not going
to be a game. We just have to suffer these douches,
(25:59):
all right with Hampton, he knows about games.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Hum of the World Series champion Dodgers Big One tonight,
Cy Young Award level showdown Yoshinoba Yamamoto for the Dodgers
and his sub one era against last year's Rookie of
the Year and the Cy Young favorite going into the season,
Paul Skeins of the Pirates. We'll have first pitch at
seven ten, Dodgers on deck at six pm. We also
(26:28):
have Clippers Nuggets tomorrow. But all the action thus far
on the program p has been about the NFL Draft yesterday.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
North Carolina, come on and raise up, joining us right
now on your Southern California Toyota Dealers. Celebrity hotline. There's
nothing better than a team picking a running back, a
real g a big back. Three great years running the
ball in Chapel Hill for the Tar Heels, two straight
(26:57):
fifteen plus one hundred yard season, durable drafted in the
first round, take your shirt off and swinging around your
head like a helicopter for the Cleveland High ram O
Marion Hampton. So happy to have him in Los Angeles. Hey, congratulations, Omarian,
and welcome to Los Angeles. How are you.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
I'm doing good, I'm excited. How are you doing.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Oh, we're fabulous and we're very proud of you. Just
take us through the day and what it was like
for you waiting through the first round and waiting and
seeing that another running back got picked and that running
back was you.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Yes, I mean yeah, it's so really the feeling really,
it's just being there with my family, just taking it
all in, getting that phone call and realizing it's a
great program like the Charges. So it's just so really
fulfilling really, and then getting down here really the next
day and then me and all the coaches and everything's
(27:58):
like a big opportunity and I'm thankful for it.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Well, when you say meeting the coaches. A lot of
people here of a certain age when they think Chargers
running backs. You know, obviously Ladanian, Tomlinson one of the
all time greats after him, could run with with Ryan Matthews,
you got Michael Turner, you got Tolbert out there. But
Natron means business man. That was a special guy for
Charger fans. And that was your position coach out there
(28:24):
in Caroline. What a cool connection to have get drafted
by the Chargers. Kind of take us through what it
was like to get coached by Natron means and Natron
means business.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
Yeah, I mean it was good. I mean because when
you're when you got somebody like that as a coach
and they can just h they did in the league
for so long and you can just and me and
me and him got really close. He just always had
my back may him one on one just to go
over plays, go over dipp the things. He's all in
my game. That's like he helped me overall. So I
(28:56):
feel like I don't really think what Nate Saon are you?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Are you you kind of one of those I don't
want to I don't know if I want to call
it superstitious or what it may be, but you're you're
Cleveland High School. Uh, the Rams he mentioned they wear
Carolina blue. You go to Carolina, they wear Carolina blue.
Now it's not Carolina blue, it's powder blue, but it's
still on the lighter shade of blue. Do you see
that connection? There?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Do you see like the specialness of the fact that
you got drafted by the one team that wears that
lighter shade of blue, that that that powder blue in
the NFL?
Speaker 6 (29:25):
Yeah, definitely sound that crazy, but I mean I'm I
love the co as well. I'm fine with it.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Yeah, I mean, Matt, that would be a very insensitive
question if you're talking to a guy that's color blind.
Thank god he can see the color. Marian. It is
our guest. Uh. You know, we talked to a lot
of every time the Chargers pick anybody, or really anybody
around town. We talked to him Omarion and and most
guys are from out of town. And here you are
(29:53):
coming out to LA all the way from the Atlantic coast. Uh,
what do you feel like LA is going to be?
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Like?
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Do you have a lot of experience being out here
on the West coast. What are some of your early
impressions of the City of Angels.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Yeah, I think it's amazing. Really, I think that I've
been here one one other time, but I just enjoyed
it the whole time down here. It's beautiful weather. Uh,
people are amazing. So just I've just been enjoying it. Really.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
What do you make of the running back room that
that you're getting into. Just, I know, don't know exactly
how it's going to be constructed when you when you
show up to camp, but we know that Naji Harris
is going to be there. They just signed him. Did
you watch Naji when he was with the Steelers when
he was with Alabama? Just kind of how you feel
like you fit in with him as as a pair
of backs that are be expected to win a lot
of games for this team.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Yeah, yeah, sir, I definitely watched. So I feel like, Uh,
it's really good for me to get in with somebody
who did it before. I can learn off him. He's
gonna give me to she like how to go about
my business, how to like go on a day to
day basis, like what he does to get ready for
the games. So I can just learn of him. So
I think that would help me overall. On my career.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Last thing for me, amar In, and we certainly appreciate
you joining us. I know it's been a pretty crazy day.
You fly out here super early in the morning and
now you're on your media tour of sorts. But how
much do you know about your about your head coach
and I guess about your your offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
Of course, all those years with Lamar Jackson and Colin
Kaepernick with AT forty nine ers, and then Lamar with
(31:32):
the Ravens, and all the success they had running the
ball with Frank Gore and San Francisco, and of course
with the number of different backs they had in Baltimore.
And then on top of that, just kind of Jim
harbaughd and your impressions of what kind of coaching staff
you're walking into as a running back.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
Yeah, yeah, I think I'm he's belonging to a lot
of experience really, So like all these guys have been
done a long time. They know what they're doing. It's
like they're helping us learn everything under the committee to
run the ball. So that is low to see. I
feel like a supersase tay fum Me.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
All right, Marian, you keep your head on a swivel
in La. You know, there's certain places you can't wear
your chain out, you know, talk to your teammates and
get a lay of the land. It's very different out
here on the West coast. But we appreciate you. We
cannot wait to watch you run the ball. A beautiful
running back and a great young man. Hey, congratulations on
(32:28):
your success. Run on the ball and getting picked in
the first round. What a wonderful accomplishment. And welcome to
Los Angeles, and Marion, we'll talk to you.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
Soon, all rights you so sure?
Speaker 2 (32:39):
There he goes Marian Hampton. See whether or not he
can get that number twenty eight from Hassan Haskins.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
He's gonna have to ask for it. And they're gonna
have to understand we're saying, you're gonna have to exactly right.
It's gonna have to say I want it. He is,
I want it. I want it.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
He is the Teddy Roosevelt of running backs. Speak softly.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Yes, he can harry big stick, which is illegal. The
last boy scout and the guy pulled a gun out.
That's ille.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
He can't do that. But if you could warious stick,
that'd be our guy.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Great looking back and congratulations to him. Obviously a whirlwind
for the young man over night on the Red Eye.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah, hearing out from North Carolina not easy, come.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
On a raiz Ugh. I thought P. D. Poblo was
going to be with him, but he's not.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I know I thought so too, but I think he
just wants to take a nap.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
We'll be right back with the top story of the day.
Petro some money on AM five seventy l Exports.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Big thank you to a mari and Hampton first round
pick of the Chargers, number twenty two overall, entertained a
couple of trade down scenarios, but ultimately decided too good
to pass up. And they will make two more picks today,
as will the Raiders and the Rams, each of them
with a pick in each the second and third round,
(33:55):
which gets rolling p in about eight or nine minutes,
and we will cover all relevant picks and keep you
up to date there so you don't have to listen
to the well endless droning on and on about how
high I had this guy rated and I'd give this
team and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
And I'm not saying this, I mean he was on
a red eye and I love a big back, but
a possible one and done candidate Omari and Hampton possible
one and done. Yeah, the rookies. Yeah, I know, I know,
possible one and done.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Possible.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
I mean, look, I was a football player, but I
did learn quickly that in interviews the sleepy, cool guy
attitude does not get you very far.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
I think he's just very He did it on the
Zoom last night too, which is why Colin said he
was joining us today. I was like, oh, yes, that's
how I go. Now, if that's how.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I get, then he's going to be a one and done.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Are we doing this here?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Else?
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Will we do it? Matt? Let's go.
Speaker 7 (34:58):
I know I didn't know if it was your next hour.
Oh there we go, Look and there we go. Look
I could read some text. No want, I mean, I
I do want to acknowledge. Do you want to acknowledge
the other sports that exist beyond the NFL draft? Because
it is much more important to point out the Clippers
house the House Nuggets as you like to call them.
Last night looked like a buzzsaw. You can call them.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Klole thigh or Klaus or five did you die or whatever?
Looks like the best player could be a really really fun.
Keep the foot on the gas, uh and do it
again tomorrow postseason. So keep your eye on uh follow
Adam E.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
I can't do it, Matt on the not getting on
that boat.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
You're not gonna get on the Clippers so.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Many times I've seen.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
It's pretty fun though.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
That boat gets to the mouth of the breakwater and sinks.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
But you know what, not on it when it sinks.
When it sinks, you jump off. You have your own
and you say, I told you you were going to
sink it.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
I'm not getting on that shown because I watch it,
and I watch Adam a clean to the mast as
he closed down like week Quig. It's terrible. I'm tired
of watching it.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
He does. Kings are in Edmonton to and I at
least get on that. That's gonna be a fun one.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
They're up two. Oh, they've scored six in each game.
And then on top of that, you got, of course,
Yamamoto and skiing cy Young level implications. It is awesome
what's happening right now in town and here on your
home with the Dodgers, Clippers and the NFL am five
seventy LA sports best time of the year and uh,
I do not hide my love for the NFL Draft.
(36:31):
I always have. Stupidly, I understand it's ridiculous. I don't
know why I love it. I just always have. I've
been very lucky to be part of covering it for
over a decade while I was at the NFL Network
and now continuing on with the Chargers. So quickly on yesterday,
we already got through the shador thing as I'm looking
up at ESPN and Lewis Riddick is on his freaking
soapbox again about what a damn shame it is that
(36:53):
he wasn't taken.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
But terrible shit.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Yeah, it's a I don't think we need to rehash it.
That would take it would take over the entire segment.
The Raiders, though, according to Ian Rappaport, are the team
to keep an eye on in the second round. There
are people that threw out mock drafts, you know, the
guys that cover the draft and do all six hundred
players and try to figure out who's gonna go where
and what grade to give him that have him sliding
to the third round. So it Yeah, there are a
(37:17):
couple guys that say, if the Raiders don't take him.
That it doesn't seem like the Browns are interested. Now,
maybe they'll take him, and it's just a smoke screen,
so no one trades ahead of them or something, and
that's how they do these things. But that the Browns
aren't necessarily interested and the Steelers aren't necessarily interested.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
And second y, Tom Brady laid out like Clint Eastwood
and in the line of fire and taking a bullet
before he lets the Mark Davis guy pick Shador. But
then again, I.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
See it the opposite, right, I see Tom Brady huge ego.
Everyone's jealous. They always took shots at me because you
know what I mean, like I done. I don't know, man,
I do know. So maybe the Raiders gets your door
and genty, But I.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Mean everybody's like, well, Tom, we're any friends with the
ony so's Jerry Jones.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Yeah, and they took a guard, but they have Dak Prescott,
you know, sixty million dollar man. Whatever good luck to Shador,
May he land whereever he hopes to land and be
able to pack up those Louis Baton trunks, the Louis
Vitan trunks that are worth fifty grand that were sitting
in the corner of his legendary themed room.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
They're beautiful pieces, Matt.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Yes they are. Their acidine is what they are. That
they are. I have so much money, I can throw
fifty grand at these two boxes that are stacked on
top of one another in the corner of the room.
The Raiders, they they owe the Browns and assist for
Ashton genty falling to him at six and their post
pick press or The Jaguars detailed that they had a
(38:50):
unique system of grading players somehow the words changes the
math were involved and only two players qualified and the
changes the math category Ashton Gente and Travis Hunter. And
because of the unique nature of Hunter a true unicorn,
having played both ways for entire games. So by the way,
you can be bombastic, outwardly emotional, where your necklace, you know,
(39:14):
parade the amount of money you've made in nil around
and still seemingly be a great fit for an NFL team.
Look at Travis Hunter could not be more excited for
the fact he gets to stay in Florida, gets to
be around his family. Was beyond elated when he was drafted.
It looked like pure joy was coming out of him.
And yet Shador believes that maybe it's his presentation and
(39:35):
just the the outward display of men's wealth.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Not a comfortable league for black people, seems like. No, Nope,
the Browns. So the Jaguars end up getting the deal
done with the with the Browns because of that unique
nature of Hunter, played both ways, entire games over three seasons,
(40:00):
gave him the advantage over genty, injecting excitement into their
franchise down there in Duval County. And they moved a
hall of draft picks to jump up and secure the
services of a non quarterback, the most ever given up
to And that's a new GM, right, that new GM.
He'sa taking a big splash.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Very young man who worked under Less Snead with the Rams.
Gladwell I believe is his last name, something like her
Goodwin and thirty five exactly right. I like that guy
gave up, so do I.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Ten thousand hour.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
He's thirty five years old. And again understand also why
the Browns, who are getting cast to get it a
little bit, also did the deal. They have an owner
who just basically shackled them with the disaster that is
Deshaun Watson, a fully guaranteed deal worth three hundred million bucks,
he's not playing, he's never going to play again, and
(40:55):
that's one hundred and fifty million bucks in dead money.
Add to that, they had to make Miles Garrett the
highest paid non quarterback in the NFL. And then you've
got to try to figure out how to fill out
a roster and somehow be competitive in a division that has,
you know, a juggernaut on both sides of the ball
in Baltimore, an offensive juggernaut in Cincinnati, and a defensive
juggernaut in Pittsburgh. So get the extra second. Now you
(41:16):
got three in the top forty, Get the extra number
one next year for when the quarterback class is expected
to be considerably better than this one. Sorry Shador, sorry Riddick,
Sorry Kuiper, sorry Klatt. But what it did was allow
someone that a EAY buddy to dig into the draft
and evaluate players believe is the number one player in
this draft to slide to six. And I guess this
(41:39):
is the one part where I will fault the Browns.
I don't understand why they didn't take genty at five themselves.
They're there. Running back room consists currently of Jerome Ford,
Pierre Strong, and John Kelly, not necessarily household names, and
Kevin Stefanski runs an offense that is run heavy. You
could have added that stud into that black and Blue
division that plays half their season in incredibly inclement weather
(42:02):
on the banks of Lake Erie. When you're at home games,
you want to run the ball. But again, not about
the bronze of the Jaguars. It's about the benefit that
fell into the laps of the Raiders, who took all
of ten seconds, which is why we missed the pick.
They wanted to make a statement by turning the pick
in immediately, like hey, it wasn't all It wasn't pomp
and circumstance. It wasn't us puffing our chest out. We
(42:24):
wanted Ashton genty, which is why we're freaking putting this
pick in in eight seconds while Petro send Money are
in commercial trying to give them freaking eight minutes to
get to the damn commercial break so we could come
back and get a lot of supposed to be I
blew it. So congratulations to the Raiders. They have got
(42:45):
an elite player, a blue chip player. Could they have
taken a tackle, Yeah, probably, And would they have been
sitting suite to take one of those two Ohio State
running backs and Judkins or Henderson or maybe Scottaboo or r. J.
Harvey or one of those guys. But whatever they got,
argue the best player in the draft. And that's why
it's hard to give them anything. Is there anything higher
than an A A plus?
Speaker 3 (43:06):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Yeah? No?
Speaker 6 (43:09):
No?
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Is the Is there anything better than an A hey plus?
Yeah no? So we give them an A plus by
allowing and not freaking out and trading away extra draft
capital they desperately need because they have no secondary, no corners,
no safety. Will they have something? They don't have any linebackers,
they need some help on the offensive line, and they
still ended up getting who could end up perhaps being
(43:32):
the best player in this draft.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
Charger A plus.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
I guess no? Is it no? No? Or yeah?
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Is Cleveland on the board right now? Has it started?
Speaker 6 (43:45):
Lot?
Speaker 2 (43:46):
I go too long? I think I went too long.
Speaker 3 (43:47):
I don't care. Okay, I don't see Cleveland doing anything.
Speaker 2 (43:52):
What if they take door? We don't want to react
to it in the moment. Oh, Houston's on the clock.
So the Chargers interesting went down to the final seconds
before they called them the pick. I was at the
bolt when they made their pick. It felt like they
were trying to make a trade. They were pretty close
to a trade. The NFL network had the camera trained
on their war room, and I know ed Maguire's the
guy that calls the picks in. He was on the
(44:12):
phone multiple times, which leads me to believe that they
were fielding calls and trying to make a deal work. Reportedly,
according to some folks, it was the Eagles that were
trying to trade up from thirty to twenty two. That
they had reached out to the Browns to see if
they wanted to trade up from thirty five or thirty
four to thirty four. I think is what if they're
(44:33):
at to come up and there was a potential player
involved in that deal. And once all of that wasn't
to what they wanted the hall that they were seeking,
they hung up the phone and called in the pick
and you just heard of Mari and Hampton. Ultimately, they
decided the bird in the hand took them instead of
the two in the bush. He would have certainly been
gone by thirty two. Everything seemed to go pretty close
(44:55):
to script. With the hiring of Jim Harbugh Joe Ortiz
in their inaugural season, we expect about to turn it
around like he does everywhere, and he did. He went
from five to eleven wins. We expect Joe Ortiz to
do what the Ravens have done year and in year
out with the draft and free agency, and without question,
he did no huge contracts. Instead find guys on one
year deals that allow perform their contracts Puna Ford, Christian Fulton, JK. Dobbins,
(45:16):
and then have the draft producer stars. They did that
with Joe Alt, with Lad McConkey, the best rookie right tackle,
the best rookie slot receiver, and two of the best
players at their positions even in their first year in
the league. The one thing they didn't do was make
butt on all that preaching about a running game and
the physical brand of football that they intended to bring
to the Bolts. Injuries were a part of it. Gus
(45:37):
Edwards got injured in training camp, Dobbins was lost for
a month, was never the same after Week thirteen. So
they go out income a guy who hasn't missed a
game all career, Najie Harris in his four years, very big,
physical back, and incomes to Mario Hampton, a guy that
never missed a game despite his heavy workload at North
Carolina makes a lot of sense. And we kind of
already detailed all the Hampton stuff. Good looking back, it's
(46:01):
just I think it's just right and stuff.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
What waste energy with his words?
Speaker 2 (46:04):
No, very laconic one way to put it.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
Yes, a man a few words, but very impactful words.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Right, few, Yes, exactly right. I think it's the same
pick as Joel. To me, right, we knew they were
going to take Joel. It's like, yeah, that's what they
want to do. They want to be big and they
want to be physical, and they did the same thing
with the pick there Matthew Golden. A lot of people
thought that was going to be a sit there.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
If you sit there and say you're big and physical
and you and you draft one hundred and twenty five
pound player, then it doesn't, you know, raise a little hollow. Yeah.
But you say you're big and physical and you draft
a giant back who's terrible, you say, hey, maybe maybe
we really are who we thought.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
We weren't practice what we preach. Uh Right. The Rams
traded out of their pick and got a haul, including
a first for next year from the Falcons. They'll pick it.
I think forty six day or something like that, So
good luck to them. Maybe they'll take Jalen Milroe. That'd
be kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
I take him ahead of Shudar Shanders.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
If he if he doesn't go in to Sagon round ye,
I mean the English. The English Prime Minister might have
something to say about it. All right, turn it up,
we'll be right back. Cod h

so mad. Why are they so mad?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
They don't like to be wrong. I mean Melck you
know mel Kiper had him as the number one quarterback
I think and the number five overall player. Like they
freak out when guys that they think are gonna be
great don't get drafted, and it's like, I love mel
you know.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
Wow, freaked out.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
He obviously changed. You know what the draft means he's
mad too. Yeah, he's freaking out.

just walking the dog.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Should we go? Should we start the show and then
discuss them?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, let's start show.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
They just they popped Wait wait, wait, stopping again, stopping again.
They popped up on air. He's just look so mad. Yeah,
and it's supposed to be a celebratory occasion.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It's not about you. It's not about you and where
you have him ranked and where you want him to
go and team needs and dialing the pro this Mike
Tomlin is such a strong coach. He can deal with
the dion and he's going to be a great mentor
to Shador.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
And you know, I'm sitting there, I'm sitting in my
house like, look at this guy. Why is he's my friend?
Why is he acting like this? And you know, I'm
real judgmental, and I'm feeling like, you know, on my
high horse because nobody picks your door. And then I'm thinking, well, look,
he's on a suit, in a suit making a bunch
of money, and I'm sitting in my basement covered in
sores like a like, all angry and bitter, but still
(02:23):
I just don't. I don't. Look, the media can't get
a guy drafted. They're they're going to go through their process.
The media can't get you drafted. They can't. No, only
Magic Johnson is dumb enough to draft somebody because of
the media and the strawberry waffles.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Well, only magic when you recognize that's when you recognize
that this, this was going to be a special relationship
was when he made them strawberry pancakes.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
The media can't. The media can't. The NFL is a
pro league. The media can't get you drafted where they
want you draft.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, they they I think I think it's one of
the great things, not just because he's our friend, but
it's one of the great things that separates DJ from
all these others.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
He's not emotionally invested in all. He's not at all easy.
He's got a nice and easy way of delivery, and
he doesn't get You don't get the feeling that he's
preaching to you. You don't get. You're absolutely right, Matt,
And I'm not just saying this because he's our friend.
Like you said, you just don't get the I mean,
Joe Klat's our friend, for God's sakes, I mean, but
(03:24):
you just don't get the feeling that he's preaching to
you or talking down to you. He's sharing information in
a jovial way with a great attitude. And a lot
of people don't like Collinsworth, but that's kind of how
he is, you know, He's always seems like he's in
a kind of a good positive Yeah, putting out the
information shall rate the kids, man celebrate the people in
after How do you talk over? How do you talk
(03:45):
over the whole Jackson dark Highlight? Talking about start to show? Yeah,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I recognize that I'm
covered in sores and I'm angry, and you know, I'm
not jealous. It's not like I rather want to work
the draft.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Joke boy, just jell us, joke boy, choke boy.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
He who does not understand your silence will probably not
understand your words.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
A gong Ley Yukes, it's Petro some money and the
NFL Draft is going to resume in fifty four and
a half minutes, and we were here for it last night,
did the show live throughout that first round, got quite
a few picks in, got the slide.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
And everybody talking about though that we didn't have the
Raider pick live. What do you want from us? Blood?
The most important thing that we could do that Matt
and I's job is to get the freaking breaks in. Okay,
it's not over on the air. We got the breaks
in and then we got out for the Clipper game
and the Clippers won. But that's not our you know,
(05:01):
we handled it great. Everybody loved our draft coverage.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah. Look at hindsight, though, I will see I'll take
a little bit of responsibility on that one.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Oh, I say, you should have been able to time
it up. You don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I just I should have known that the Raiders were
going to make the statement of oh Ashton Genti's here,
We're going to turn the picking in five seconds. You
know that was obvious that And I should have recommended
what the other.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
One had to have the other one timed up before that,
and the one before that timed up. You can't be
that hard on yourself in this situation. Mat But I
don't know, are we doing the flapping and the sound
and the whole deal today? Are we blowing the wild?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Think? So? I don't. I feel like it's a first
round thing. I think we'll just kind of on the
check in mean yeah, I mean otherwise we're going to
be flapping every ninety seconds, and I don't think that's
nice what we're doing. I don't eve think Fox Sports
Radio is doing it today. Maybe they are, I don't know,
I don't know, I don't know. I was listening last
night on the way home, trying to get my UH
on the way over to the bolt to keep up
(05:59):
with the draft, and they had Oklahoma City Memphis basketball on.
I was like, oh, well, thanks, thanks for that, appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I was listening to Fox Sports Radio on a serious
XM because obviously said there.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Was a glitch in the system of some kind.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Map seemed like it. You know what I should have done.
I should have gone to the iHeartRadio app exactly Fox
Sports Radios button there. I screwed up. Man. Yesterday was
a disaster for me, almost as big of a disaster
as it was for Joel Klatt.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
What happened to you yesterday?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Well, just the fact I didn't realize I should have
gone to Fox Sports Radio, Douglas and all that. No otherwise,
it was great, was great day.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Find you were here. We had a good time. You know.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I had a nice long conversation with Joe Ortiz, the
general manager of the Chargers after the pick. A lot
of excitement around the Chargers facility. Didn't think Hampton was
going to be there. That's the big running back they drafted,
big running back. Let's join us in the next segment.
We don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I mean, young rookie guy moving all around Los Angeles,
but I'm sure we'll get him on at some point.
Big good looking back out of North Carolina that the
Chargers drafted. Rams traded out. So that's the only first
round print pick of the city. And he will join
us this hour. David Vase will join us in our
final hour as we cover all this stuff. And Okay,
(07:15):
so Matt had a good day, not as good of
a day as Joe Klatt, but he did screw up
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, but I think so we're started, right, we already
we already got into this. We're good now, Well not really,
it's a Frogman Friday. Oh there we go. Let's get
that prog Man.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Dance with the waves like Matt Smith, move with the sea.
Let the rhythms, Frogmen of the Water. Frogman, set your
soul free.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
You want to listen to me for a minute.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
During the war, I was in New DT's that stranded
in these rafts before.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
All right, then tell us what to do.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Well, let's not sit here and wait, Let's do something.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Let's think first. Huh. That's the first law of survival.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We gotta save our strength.

Only selad.

Kats is traveling home from the desert. And tomorrow we
got Clippers House Nuggets Game four and three on AM
eleven fifty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app for
your smartphone, and we'll have the NFL Draft, or at
(10:30):
least our coverage of the NFL Draft, along with the
other great sports talk accoutrement as great sports talk ours continue.
What were you saying there.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Matt As same as I was walking the dogs and
I was thinking about the shador thing and the Dion thing.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Uh huh, Well, how could you not, Matt? Yeah, I
mean I thought, really the only thing in your head
would be lebron Can balla.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Well, that was in my head while I was sitting
in the water, and I was very upset about that,
because normally it's a very peaceful existence. Instead, I was
singing that and trying to come up with some parody
lyrics that maybe we'll try to piece together over the weekend.
But I was thinking about Joel and Joe Sellers, Yeah,
been part of the Colorado program, and just how he
(11:15):
and I guess it's it's self explanatory because they've all
just bowed down to the altar of Dion and let
him run rough shot over their program. And I know
it was a mess, but if you're Joel, you were
there when it was.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Still Now you tell everybody close your eyes and think
of Matt walking on.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
The beach right walking the dog. And I was like,
why would you not take this opportunity to expose the
negatives surrounding Dion? The pomp, the fact that Shador had
randomly two Louis Baton trunks that are like thirty grand
(11:51):
a piece next to a chair like Hey, check this out.
Here's just two random Louis Baton drunks. That's what Louis
was oridge.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
That's the only thing Louis Baton himself actually ever made
was Yeah, that's that's how he became famous making trunks
for rich travelers because it was two and sad.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
And chador does not need a trunk, does not need
a steamer. This was two hundred years ago.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
But you know, you could use him as furniture.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
You know, I think about that, like, what what in
what world does that make any sense to have this
legendary theme that I'm getting drafted. Oh, by the way,
here's these two sweet Louis Baton trunks. It's about fifty
k just sitting right there, stacked on top of you.
They're not functional, they just.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Well, of course.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
When he goes to when he goes on a steam
cruise across the Atlantic to summer in Italy and Spain,
he's gonna need those trunks. Yes, you know, those are
beautiful things. Why would Oh, here's Matt. Listen, Matt say,
there there's the waves. There's his dog, Skeeter as Peter's
(13:00):
dead Willow excuse me, Well, you know, Skeeter's spirit, Skeeter
little jealous of Willow, Matt's walking along, thinking about Shador,
thinking about Joel, thinking about Louis Riddick all angry, thinking
about Kyper can't even control himself to do his job.
(13:20):
Just unbelievable draft night. And I gotta say, like, I
never watched, like I'm never you know me mad, I'm
never super engaged in the draft. I mean, sometimes the
later rounds, I'm interested. There's always players I know in
every round and it's interesting, but I don't like, oh God,
(13:41):
they're gonna trade up, They're gonna trade down, Like I'm
just not. I've never been that guy. And last night
I was engaged for the same reason everybody else was.
They were ruining the show. The last time I was
disengaged in the draft was the one that got Trey
Wingo fired. Tell everybody sad story, Yeah, because he acted
like such a story complete idiot, like just a complete fool.
(14:05):
Let's let him celebrate. And I recognize that I'm not
on the draft coverage. These are networks that I'm familiar with.
These are broadcasters, all of which that I know quite
well and have been on TV with Joel Klatt, Charles Davis,
YouTube Matt with Daniel Jeremiah and all the NFL network people,
And I realize that I'm covered in swords sores downstairs
(14:27):
in my house staring at the television and going, you know,
I get it. I see the irony there. I understand.
But at the same time, it's a shock to me
that they all were so personally offended that none of
the teams picked the guy they wanted them to pick
where they wanted him to get.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Picked, which has nothing to do with them.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
And distracted from the entire show.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Right, And it belittles the guy that is selected exactly,
like not to do the Trey Wingo here, but the
guy that was picked to the Steelers in place of
Shador where they all wanted Shador to go. Instead, they
take Derek Harmon. They left his mom on life support
until after he got picked in the first round, and
then they went and said goodbye to her that night.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Wingo would have had a field day.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Right, And like, that's the guy the Steelers took, and
that's how they treated that selection. Just think about that.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
The whole time that they were talking about him. Oh
they couldn't.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Instead of talking about Derek ut They talked about the
Shador and what a travesty it was that Shador wasn't
selected here, and it's like, holy crap, could you idiots
be any dummer because you feel as though it was
it was an attack on your analysis that these teams
(15:49):
who spend millions of dollars on this area of scouts,
regional scouts, director of college personnel, general manager, assistant general.
These are billion dollar positions to come up with the
right players, and none of them in the first round
thought that Shoudour was a first round quarterball.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
We were talking about it yesterday. And you know, with all
due respect to all these people, that we know the
draft really is a douche fest. And a great deal
of NFL coverage or professional sports coverage or any sports
coverage on a national level is a real douche fest
in twenty twenty five. And I mean it ain't be
no cook out there anymore. I mean it's a real
douche fest. And that's what pre half in post is
(16:30):
in NFL coverage too. You got to get through all
the douchary and is Rob Gronkowski a dog or a
dude and all that, and then eventually the game starts
and you're able to concentrate on the game. But the
NFL Draft is just hours and hours of the douchefest
with no payoff, with no payoff.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Unless they're right, then everybody high bies. But if they're wrong,
they tell you why these teams are idiots.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Well, and then last night it's like the douchefest revolted
on itself because they didn't get what they wanted, they
didn't get the story they wanted, and they ruined the
draft for everybody else who was watching. It was really
an amazing thing. And I don't know what's gonna happen tonight.
I don't know if he's gonna get picked. Wow, Wow,
I don't know. Stuck button there, Matt, But I don't
(17:15):
know if he's gonna get picked early here and everybody's
gonna calm down. And but the fact that he's not
going in the first round and all these guys start
talking about Tom Brady and Drew Breeze, and that was
a little ridiculous, A little ridiculous. I mean, it's just
slightly it just kept slightly ridiculous. It kept getting worse
and worse, and look, I got nothing against like I
(17:37):
was surprised that they had the success they had in
year two, but they still I mean it was they
had a lot of success, but it they didn't. They
didn't win the national championship, they didn't play in the
College Football Playoff. They were no. They got destroyed by
more purposed big twelve teams like BYU and all that.
(18:00):
Like I'm all for it, Like I watched a lot
of games and was like, wow, this guy looks really
accurate here, this guy looks really good here. But at
the same time, look, there's two quarterbacks in the NFL,
Lamar Jackson, right and Jayden Dane Hurts. Well, no, not him,
but Daniels, the guy Daniel, Yeah, DC. And those two
(18:24):
guys I have known since they were in college. You know,
because this is what I do for work, that they
have almost untenable mothers with them at all times, and
those stories have become bigger stories as the years have
gone on. You know, now that it's twenty twenty five
and Lamar Jackson all this, everybody knows Lamar Jackson's mom
is super involved. Everybody knows Jayden Daniel's mom is super
(18:47):
involved and ruined his connection with Juju at the USC
game right the day before she blew out her knee.
Like I've heard those stories for years, but I also
know how special those quarterbacks are and those coaches like
John Harbaugh pretty smart, dude. The people running the Commanders
seem like they know what they're doing, the people that
bought him from Snyder, and they do what they weigh
(19:08):
out how much of a problem is this guy's inner
circle or whatever relative to how good he is, And
it's like a scale with ballast on it, you know what,
I'm sallast and that scale is that scale whether you're
talking about Tim Tebow, Johnny Manziel, Colin Kaepernick, any of
(19:30):
these guys over the years where there's a lot of
media coverage, there's a scale to how good is this
guy and how much are we going to have to
deal with if we take him and Matt I don't
think that scale is really Insadure's favor because if you
pick him and it doesn't go well, and you end
up getting criticized by Dion or he's not playing well,
(19:52):
or he's not playing, or he is playing and he's
not playing well, your coordinator is getting criticized by Dion.
It becomes a national skill they're they're they're already making
it a race story about racism, saying, well, you don't
like him because he has gold chains. Every guy that
got drafted, even the white guy got chained. Like what
(20:12):
are we doing like stuff, trying to make a story.
He's not good enough for the headache of bringing that
family and that whole brand into the building in the
first round. It's pretty simple. The market just told you
what it was.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
They don't necessarily like I mean, you know this, The
NFL does not like bombastic individuals.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I don't want it.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
That's not what they want in their life.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Lest you bet, you better be superman, right, you bet?
And there are guys like that until until you don't
perform that well anymore, and then we're not gonna deal
with it. Like Yasiel Puigue for the Dodgers is a
great example, absolute circus. Couldn't get home at night, couldn't
get there on time, couldn't do anything. Once his performance
(20:53):
dropped off, they got rid of him because it wasn't
worth it anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I just you know that that. They'd already start the
leak out in in Indianapolis two months ago. At the combine,
it was already out there that a lot of these
combine meetings to go well, and yeah, people get upset.
It's like it's it's kind of hard to bring a
guy into a locker room whose dad was was out
(21:20):
clowning people on Twitter by saying, you're a joke. My
son's top five, my son's top five, and it's like,
that's not how this process works, man. You don't just
speak that. And it comes to fruition that unless his
number retired, unless that's different dean, unless ball right, And
I mean like.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
This wasn't an issue when he played for his dad. No,
because he played for his dad. But he's gonna have
to play for somebody else. But like the one dad's
gonna get asked about it every single day. Who wants
that in their building?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah. The one comment that I think probably made an
impact on a lot of teams was him saying, draft me.
If you want to turn your franchise around, I did
it at Jackson's State. I did it at Colorado. You
don't turn NFL franchises around. They're already pointing you. Dion
(22:06):
was on the Cowboys, the forty nine ers, and the Falcons.
They don't give a damn that Dion was on their team.
They are the Cowboys, the forty nine ers, and the Falcons.
While he was there, he was on the team. When
he was gone, they were still exactly the same. And
that is and you could say, when Shador was at
Jackson State, did he really do They didn't win the championship.
(22:29):
Nobody was really paying attention to Jackson State highlights other
than maybe thirty seconds at the back end of a
sports center.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
He was better at Colorado than I thought he would be. Yeah,
but what did they really doesn't make a first round pick.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
He went thirteen and twelve. He was one and eight
against ranked teams. They didn't win the conference, they didn't
win a bowl game, Like that's it's that turning a
franchise around. So to have a guy come in and say,
if you want me to do what I did for
these places and him not realize, well, you don't want
to say that if you didn't win a freaking title
or win your conference, like that's that's not how this works.
(23:02):
Your number can get retired because you turned around the
Colorado Buffalo program. Kart retired because your dad's there and
everybody's terrified he's gonna leave. So they just do everything
he says, and that's truly what it is. You know,
they got the Colorado program held hostage.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
And I heard Joel talking last night. And Joel, obviously,
I mean, he helped get Dion hired, and I know
that for a fact. He told me they were gonna
hire Dion and I was like early he was like,
this is what we believe in. And look what it's
become Colorado's talking point for everybody. It's obviously polarizing, but
you do look at what it's become. But at the
(23:37):
same time, it's like to say they haven't been they
haven't played good football Colorado in twenty years. Well that's
not true. Coach Mack had him in the PAC ten
twelfth championship, They played in the PAC twelve championship in
the last twenty years and they and Deon didn't play
for any championship. Sure he got the team, you know,
(23:59):
So I don't I just don't know what I mean,
like that that's gonna ring hollow. I don't understand. Yeah,
I do not understand trying to speak something into existence
and then it doesn't happen, and you sit there and
blame the entire market, right, it's like, Okay, well, look,
you came up with a product, you sold the crap
out of the product, no one bought it, and now
(24:20):
you're going to throw a tantrum. It's it's a very
interesting draft, maybe the most interesting of all time.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Well, Marion Hampton was drafted at number twenty two. The
Chargers took him. He was one of the He was
the last remaining unanimous pick, according to Joe Ortiz, on
their board. All others had already been selected. They didn't
think a Marian Hampton was going to be there. He was,
and so after fielding a number of trade calls just
(24:47):
to kind of see what was being offered, they rebuffed
all those and decided they would much rather take the
last remaining unanimous with all of their scouts first round
graded player on their list. He flew out to LA
early this morning, and I believe he's going to join
us next I hope.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
So, you know, it's a it's pretty interesting because the
entire NFL draft and what it what it is, media
wized this mutual masturbation of these guys. It really it
really feels like a gigantic overview of two entitled information
(25:28):
guys fighting at a Starbucks in a hotel lobby and
just bickering at each other.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
That actually happened.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Yeah, I mean that's that is what this is. And
we have no game to say, Hey, look, at least
there's a game. You know, we can suffer these self
important guys one upping each other about what they know
and what they don't know. We can suffer that because
there's going to be a game. But there's not going
to be a game. We just have to suffer these douches,
(25:59):
all right with Hampton, he knows about games.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Hum of the World Series champion Dodgers Big One tonight,
Cy Young Award level showdown Yoshinoba Yamamoto for the Dodgers
and his sub one era against last year's Rookie of
the Year and the Cy Young favorite going into the season,
Paul Skeins of the Pirates. We'll have first pitch at
seven ten, Dodgers on deck at six pm. We also
(26:28):
have Clippers Nuggets tomorrow. But all the action thus far
on the program p has been about the NFL Draft yesterday.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
North Carolina, come on and raise up, joining us right
now on your Southern California Toyota Dealers. Celebrity hotline. There's
nothing better than a team picking a running back, a
real g a big back. Three great years running the
ball in Chapel Hill for the Tar Heels, two straight
(26:57):
fifteen plus one hundred yard season, durable drafted in the
first round, take your shirt off and swinging around your
head like a helicopter for the Cleveland High ram O
Marion Hampton. So happy to have him in Los Angeles. Hey, congratulations, Omarian,
and welcome to Los Angeles. How are you.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
I'm doing good, I'm excited. How are you doing.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Oh, we're fabulous and we're very proud of you. Just
take us through the day and what it was like
for you waiting through the first round and waiting and
seeing that another running back got picked and that running
back was you.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Yes, I mean yeah, it's so really the feeling really,
it's just being there with my family, just taking it
all in, getting that phone call and realizing it's a
great program like the Charges. So it's just so really
fulfilling really, and then getting down here really the next
day and then me and all the coaches and everything's
(27:58):
like a big opportunity and I'm thankful for it.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Well, when you say meeting the coaches. A lot of
people here of a certain age when they think Chargers
running backs. You know, obviously Ladanian, Tomlinson one of the
all time greats after him, could run with with Ryan Matthews,
you got Michael Turner, you got Tolbert out there. But
Natron means business man. That was a special guy for
Charger fans. And that was your position coach out there
(28:24):
in Caroline. What a cool connection to have get drafted
by the Chargers. Kind of take us through what it
was like to get coached by Natron means and Natron
means business.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
Yeah, I mean it was good. I mean because when
you're when you got somebody like that as a coach
and they can just h they did in the league
for so long and you can just and me and
me and him got really close. He just always had
my back may him one on one just to go
over plays, go over dipp the things. He's all in
my game. That's like he helped me overall. So I
(28:56):
feel like I don't really think what Nate Saon are you?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Are you you kind of one of those I don't
want to I don't know if I want to call
it superstitious or what it may be, but you're you're
Cleveland High School. Uh, the Rams he mentioned they wear
Carolina blue. You go to Carolina, they wear Carolina blue.
Now it's not Carolina blue, it's powder blue, but it's
still on the lighter shade of blue. Do you see
that connection? There?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Do you see like the specialness of the fact that
you got drafted by the one team that wears that
lighter shade of blue, that that that powder blue in
the NFL?
Speaker 6 (29:25):
Yeah, definitely sound that crazy, but I mean I'm I
love the co as well. I'm fine with it.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Yeah, I mean, Matt, that would be a very insensitive
question if you're talking to a guy that's color blind.
Thank god he can see the color. Marian. It is
our guest. Uh. You know, we talked to a lot
of every time the Chargers pick anybody, or really anybody
around town. We talked to him Omarion and and most
guys are from out of town. And here you are
(29:53):
coming out to LA all the way from the Atlantic coast. Uh,
what do you feel like LA is going to be?
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Like?
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Do you have a lot of experience being out here
on the West coast. What are some of your early
impressions of the City of Angels.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Yeah, I think it's amazing. Really, I think that I've
been here one one other time, but I just enjoyed
it the whole time down here. It's beautiful weather. Uh,
people are amazing. So just I've just been enjoying it. Really.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
What do you make of the running back room that
that you're getting into. Just, I know, don't know exactly
how it's going to be constructed when you when you
show up to camp, but we know that Naji Harris
is going to be there. They just signed him. Did
you watch Naji when he was with the Steelers when
he was with Alabama? Just kind of how you feel
like you fit in with him as as a pair
of backs that are be expected to win a lot
of games for this team.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Yeah, yeah, sir, I definitely watched. So I feel like, Uh,
it's really good for me to get in with somebody
who did it before. I can learn off him. He's
gonna give me to she like how to go about
my business, how to like go on a day to
day basis, like what he does to get ready for
the games. So I can just learn of him. So
I think that would help me overall. On my career.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Last thing for me, amar In, and we certainly appreciate
you joining us. I know it's been a pretty crazy day.
You fly out here super early in the morning and
now you're on your media tour of sorts. But how
much do you know about your about your head coach
and I guess about your your offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
Of course, all those years with Lamar Jackson and Colin
Kaepernick with AT forty nine ers, and then Lamar with
(31:32):
the Ravens, and all the success they had running the
ball with Frank Gore and San Francisco, and of course
with the number of different backs they had in Baltimore.
And then on top of that, just kind of Jim
harbaughd and your impressions of what kind of coaching staff
you're walking into as a running back.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
Yeah, yeah, I think I'm he's belonging to a lot
of experience really, So like all these guys have been
done a long time. They know what they're doing. It's
like they're helping us learn everything under the committee to
run the ball. So that is low to see. I
feel like a supersase tay fum Me.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
All right, Marian, you keep your head on a swivel
in La. You know, there's certain places you can't wear
your chain out, you know, talk to your teammates and
get a lay of the land. It's very different out
here on the West coast. But we appreciate you. We
cannot wait to watch you run the ball. A beautiful
running back and a great young man. Hey, congratulations on
(32:28):
your success. Run on the ball and getting picked in
the first round. What a wonderful accomplishment. And welcome to
Los Angeles, and Marion, we'll talk to you.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
Soon, all rights you so sure?
Speaker 2 (32:39):
There he goes Marian Hampton. See whether or not he
can get that number twenty eight from Hassan Haskins.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
He's gonna have to ask for it. And they're gonna
have to understand we're saying, you're gonna have to exactly right.
It's gonna have to say I want it. He is,
I want it. I want it.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
He is the Teddy Roosevelt of running backs. Speak softly.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Yes, he can harry big stick, which is illegal. The
last boy scout and the guy pulled a gun out.
That's ille.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
He can't do that. But if you could warious stick,
that'd be our guy.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Great looking back and congratulations to him. Obviously a whirlwind
for the young man over night on the Red Eye.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah, hearing out from North Carolina not easy, come.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
On a raiz Ugh. I thought P. D. Poblo was
going to be with him, but he's not.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I know I thought so too, but I think he
just wants to take a nap.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
We'll be right back with the top story of the day.
Petro some money on AM five seventy l Exports.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Big thank you to a mari and Hampton first round
pick of the Chargers, number twenty two overall, entertained a
couple of trade down scenarios, but ultimately decided too good
to pass up. And they will make two more picks today,
as will the Raiders and the Rams, each of them
with a pick in each the second and third round,
(33:55):
which gets rolling p in about eight or nine minutes,
and we will cover all relevant picks and keep you
up to date there so you don't have to listen
to the well endless droning on and on about how
high I had this guy rated and I'd give this
team and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
And I'm not saying this, I mean he was on
a red eye and I love a big back, but
a possible one and done candidate Omari and Hampton possible
one and done. Yeah, the rookies. Yeah, I know, I know,
possible one and done.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Possible.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
I mean, look, I was a football player, but I
did learn quickly that in interviews the sleepy, cool guy
attitude does not get you very far.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
I think he's just very He did it on the
Zoom last night too, which is why Colin said he
was joining us today. I was like, oh, yes, that's
how I go. Now, if that's how.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I get, then he's going to be a one and done.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Are we doing this here?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Else?
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Will we do it? Matt? Let's go.
Speaker 7 (34:58):
I know I didn't know if it was your next hour.
Oh there we go, Look and there we go. Look
I could read some text. No want, I mean, I
I do want to acknowledge. Do you want to acknowledge
the other sports that exist beyond the NFL draft? Because
it is much more important to point out the Clippers
house the House Nuggets as you like to call them.
Last night looked like a buzzsaw. You can call them.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Klole thigh or Klaus or five did you die or whatever?
Looks like the best player could be a really really fun.
Keep the foot on the gas, uh and do it
again tomorrow postseason. So keep your eye on uh follow
Adam E.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
I can't do it, Matt on the not getting on
that boat.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
You're not gonna get on the Clippers so.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Many times I've seen.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
It's pretty fun though.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
That boat gets to the mouth of the breakwater and sinks.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
But you know what, not on it when it sinks.
When it sinks, you jump off. You have your own
and you say, I told you you were going to
sink it.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
I'm not getting on that shown because I watch it,
and I watch Adam a clean to the mast as
he closed down like week Quig. It's terrible. I'm tired
of watching it.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
He does. Kings are in Edmonton to and I at
least get on that. That's gonna be a fun one.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
They're up two. Oh, they've scored six in each game.
And then on top of that, you got, of course,
Yamamoto and skiing cy Young level implications. It is awesome
what's happening right now in town and here on your
home with the Dodgers, Clippers and the NFL am five
seventy LA sports best time of the year and uh,
I do not hide my love for the NFL Draft.
(36:31):
I always have. Stupidly, I understand it's ridiculous. I don't
know why I love it. I just always have. I've
been very lucky to be part of covering it for
over a decade while I was at the NFL Network
and now continuing on with the Chargers. So quickly on yesterday,
we already got through the shador thing as I'm looking
up at ESPN and Lewis Riddick is on his freaking
soapbox again about what a damn shame it is that
(36:53):
he wasn't taken.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
But terrible shit.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Yeah, it's a I don't think we need to rehash it.
That would take it would take over the entire segment.
The Raiders, though, according to Ian Rappaport, are the team
to keep an eye on in the second round. There
are people that threw out mock drafts, you know, the
guys that cover the draft and do all six hundred
players and try to figure out who's gonna go where
and what grade to give him that have him sliding
to the third round. So it Yeah, there are a
(37:17):
couple guys that say, if the Raiders don't take him.
That it doesn't seem like the Browns are interested. Now,
maybe they'll take him, and it's just a smoke screen,
so no one trades ahead of them or something, and
that's how they do these things. But that the Browns
aren't necessarily interested and the Steelers aren't necessarily interested.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
And second y, Tom Brady laid out like Clint Eastwood
and in the line of fire and taking a bullet
before he lets the Mark Davis guy pick Shador. But
then again, I.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
See it the opposite, right, I see Tom Brady huge ego.
Everyone's jealous. They always took shots at me because you
know what I mean, like I done. I don't know, man,
I do know. So maybe the Raiders gets your door
and genty, But I.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Mean everybody's like, well, Tom, we're any friends with the
ony so's Jerry Jones.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Yeah, and they took a guard, but they have Dak Prescott,
you know, sixty million dollar man. Whatever good luck to Shador,
May he land whereever he hopes to land and be
able to pack up those Louis Baton trunks, the Louis
Vitan trunks that are worth fifty grand that were sitting
in the corner of his legendary themed room.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
They're beautiful pieces, Matt.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Yes they are. Their acidine is what they are. That
they are. I have so much money, I can throw
fifty grand at these two boxes that are stacked on
top of one another in the corner of the room.
The Raiders, they they owe the Browns and assist for
Ashton genty falling to him at six and their post
pick press or The Jaguars detailed that they had a
(38:50):
unique system of grading players somehow the words changes the
math were involved and only two players qualified and the
changes the math category Ashton Gente and Travis Hunter. And
because of the unique nature of Hunter a true unicorn,
having played both ways for entire games. So by the way,
you can be bombastic, outwardly emotional, where your necklace, you know,
(39:14):
parade the amount of money you've made in nil around
and still seemingly be a great fit for an NFL team.
Look at Travis Hunter could not be more excited for
the fact he gets to stay in Florida, gets to
be around his family. Was beyond elated when he was drafted.
It looked like pure joy was coming out of him.
And yet Shador believes that maybe it's his presentation and
(39:35):
just the the outward display of men's wealth.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Not a comfortable league for black people, seems like. No, Nope,
the Browns. So the Jaguars end up getting the deal
done with the with the Browns because of that unique
nature of Hunter, played both ways, entire games over three seasons,
(40:00):
gave him the advantage over genty, injecting excitement into their
franchise down there in Duval County. And they moved a
hall of draft picks to jump up and secure the
services of a non quarterback, the most ever given up
to And that's a new GM, right, that new GM.
He'sa taking a big splash.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Very young man who worked under Less Snead with the Rams.
Gladwell I believe is his last name, something like her
Goodwin and thirty five exactly right. I like that guy
gave up, so do I.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Ten thousand hour.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
He's thirty five years old. And again understand also why
the Browns, who are getting cast to get it a
little bit, also did the deal. They have an owner
who just basically shackled them with the disaster that is
Deshaun Watson, a fully guaranteed deal worth three hundred million bucks,
he's not playing, he's never going to play again, and
(40:55):
that's one hundred and fifty million bucks in dead money.
Add to that, they had to make Miles Garrett the
highest paid non quarterback in the NFL. And then you've
got to try to figure out how to fill out
a roster and somehow be competitive in a division that has,
you know, a juggernaut on both sides of the ball
in Baltimore, an offensive juggernaut in Cincinnati, and a defensive
juggernaut in Pittsburgh. So get the extra second. Now you
(41:16):
got three in the top forty, Get the extra number
one next year for when the quarterback class is expected
to be considerably better than this one. Sorry Shador, sorry Riddick,
Sorry Kuiper, sorry Klatt. But what it did was allow
someone that a EAY buddy to dig into the draft
and evaluate players believe is the number one player in
this draft to slide to six. And I guess this
(41:39):
is the one part where I will fault the Browns.
I don't understand why they didn't take genty at five themselves.
They're there. Running back room consists currently of Jerome Ford,
Pierre Strong, and John Kelly, not necessarily household names, and
Kevin Stefanski runs an offense that is run heavy. You
could have added that stud into that black and Blue
division that plays half their season in incredibly inclement weather
(42:02):
on the banks of Lake Erie. When you're at home games,
you want to run the ball. But again, not about
the bronze of the Jaguars. It's about the benefit that
fell into the laps of the Raiders, who took all
of ten seconds, which is why we missed the pick.
They wanted to make a statement by turning the pick
in immediately, like hey, it wasn't all It wasn't pomp
and circumstance. It wasn't us puffing our chest out. We
(42:24):
wanted Ashton genty, which is why we're freaking putting this
pick in in eight seconds while Petro send Money are
in commercial trying to give them freaking eight minutes to
get to the damn commercial break so we could come
back and get a lot of supposed to be I
blew it. So congratulations to the Raiders. They have got
(42:45):
an elite player, a blue chip player. Could they have
taken a tackle, Yeah, probably, And would they have been
sitting suite to take one of those two Ohio State
running backs and Judkins or Henderson or maybe Scottaboo or r. J.
Harvey or one of those guys. But whatever they got,
argue the best player in the draft. And that's why
it's hard to give them anything. Is there anything higher
than an A A plus?
Speaker 3 (43:06):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Yeah? No?
Speaker 6 (43:09):
No?
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Is the Is there anything better than an A hey plus?
Yeah no? So we give them an A plus by
allowing and not freaking out and trading away extra draft
capital they desperately need because they have no secondary, no corners,
no safety. Will they have something? They don't have any linebackers,
they need some help on the offensive line, and they
still ended up getting who could end up perhaps being
(43:32):
the best player in this draft.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
Charger A plus.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
I guess no? Is it no? No? Or yeah?
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Is Cleveland on the board right now? Has it started?
Speaker 6 (43:45):
Lot?
Speaker 2 (43:46):
I go too long? I think I went too long.
Speaker 3 (43:47):
I don't care. Okay, I don't see Cleveland doing anything.
Speaker 2 (43:52):
What if they take door? We don't want to react
to it in the moment. Oh, Houston's on the clock.
So the Chargers interesting went down to the final seconds
before they called them the pick. I was at the
bolt when they made their pick. It felt like they
were trying to make a trade. They were pretty close
to a trade. The NFL network had the camera trained
on their war room, and I know ed Maguire's the
guy that calls the picks in. He was on the
(44:12):
phone multiple times, which leads me to believe that they
were fielding calls and trying to make a deal work. Reportedly,
according to some folks, it was the Eagles that were
trying to trade up from thirty to twenty two. That
they had reached out to the Browns to see if
they wanted to trade up from thirty five or thirty
four to thirty four. I think is what if they're
(44:33):
at to come up and there was a potential player
involved in that deal. And once all of that wasn't
to what they wanted the hall that they were seeking,
they hung up the phone and called in the pick
and you just heard of Mari and Hampton. Ultimately, they
decided the bird in the hand took them instead of
the two in the bush. He would have certainly been
gone by thirty two. Everything seemed to go pretty close
(44:55):
to script. With the hiring of Jim Harbugh Joe Ortiz
in their inaugural season, we expect about to turn it
around like he does everywhere, and he did. He went
from five to eleven wins. We expect Joe Ortiz to
do what the Ravens have done year and in year
out with the draft and free agency, and without question,
he did no huge contracts. Instead find guys on one
year deals that allow perform their contracts Puna Ford, Christian Fulton, JK. Dobbins,
(45:16):
and then have the draft producer stars. They did that
with Joe Alt, with Lad McConkey, the best rookie right tackle,
the best rookie slot receiver, and two of the best
players at their positions even in their first year in
the league. The one thing they didn't do was make
butt on all that preaching about a running game and
the physical brand of football that they intended to bring
to the Bolts. Injuries were a part of it. Gus
(45:37):
Edwards got injured in training camp, Dobbins was lost for
a month, was never the same after Week thirteen. So
they go out income a guy who hasn't missed a
game all career, Najie Harris in his four years, very big,
physical back, and incomes to Mario Hampton, a guy that
never missed a game despite his heavy workload at North
Carolina makes a lot of sense. And we kind of
already detailed all the Hampton stuff. Good looking back, it's
(46:01):
just I think it's just right and stuff.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
What waste energy with his words?
Speaker 2 (46:04):
No, very laconic one way to put it.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
Yes, a man a few words, but very impactful words.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Right, few, Yes, exactly right. I think it's the same
pick as Joel. To me, right, we knew they were
going to take Joel. It's like, yeah, that's what they
want to do. They want to be big and they
want to be physical, and they did the same thing
with the pick there Matthew Golden. A lot of people
thought that was going to be a sit there.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
If you sit there and say you're big and physical
and you and you draft one hundred and twenty five
pound player, then it doesn't, you know, raise a little hollow. Yeah.
But you say you're big and physical and you draft
a giant back who's terrible, you say, hey, maybe maybe
we really are who we thought.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
We weren't practice what we preach. Uh Right. The Rams
traded out of their pick and got a haul, including
a first for next year from the Falcons. They'll pick it.
I think forty six day or something like that, So
good luck to them. Maybe they'll take Jalen Milroe. That'd
be kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
I take him ahead of Shudar Shanders.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
If he if he doesn't go in to Sagon round ye,
I mean the English. The English Prime Minister might have
something to say about it. All right, turn it up,
we'll be right back. Cod h
