So we got stuff there. The NFL Combine is when all the gms show up. They talk shop. A lot of stuff being talked about here. So we'll get to Justin Fields in a couple of minutes. He's on the move. It's going to be sooner than later. But it's really interesting. So, and I've said this for years. I've been on this to the point that it's irritating and I understand it. But three years now, I've been on this the last several Super Bowls. At the end of the year, look at the playoff coaches. They're offensive coaches and defensive coaches can be completely disconnected from offense. Belichick's allergic to offense. Tomlin can never get the offensive line right. It could be Mike Zimmer, Ron Rivera, Brian Flores, Sean McDermod i like, but they just it takes them forever to get that offense right behind Josh Allen. They just are are don't have a feel for it. They don't football, they don't get off So there's always been questions about Robert Salah. There's a young coach, the offense is a mess. They hire Nathaniel Hackett. He didn't have much of a market after the Denver disaster. And here is on the Pivot podcast McColl Hardman, who went to the Jets. They went and got him, couldn't figure out how to use him. Here he is talking about his experience, brief experience. Remember he was in the Super Bowl for the Chiefs game winning touchdown, his brief experience with the Jets.

It's not gonna happen again. The Chiefs the Golds and he reads the gold Standard, and then he went to the Jets. I don't want to hear. Who's Nicole Hardman. I don't know, game winning touchdown in the Super Bowl three catches one with the Jets. You don't have to be a great player to have great access, to have great perspective. A lot of people in my business aren't stars, but they know stuff. They say stuff doesn't invalidate it because you're not a superstar and a sport. I want access, I want raw, real relevant opinions. These are relevant. Micole Hardman can play. Not as good as some thought, but he was valuable to the Chiefs. They brought him back and a big game winning touchdown in the Super Bowl. He went on regarding the offense again, sla is a defensive coach. He talked about the Jets offense.

He's got a new coach as that came in, you know, and like it's no standard there. It's like everybody do what they want to do, and it's like what done. Granted, the defense have a more of a stabilized standard with that with the coach of staff on that side, so you could say the defense got a they got a standard, but the offense is like, all right, we'd've just figured out it's airshow, the airdu, airdu, you know what I mean. But then with Aeron go down, it's like we'll know what to do.

Not a good look for Aaron Rodgers, who I've always said is a great talent. I don't view him as a great leader. That's okay, Kevin Durant, great talent. Don't view m as a great leader. It's not what he does. He hit shots, Aaron makes passes. But you want me to take the Jets seriously in a division with Josh Allen and improved weapons to Mike McDaniel and great weapons, And you want me to take Natt Hackett Aaron off of surgery, arguably worse no line in the league. Seriously, can't, won't, No thanks, And I don't care if Mkole Hartman's not a superstar player. Touchdown in the Super Bowl was a game winner? Good enough for me. So your life will overwhelmingly be a result of your choices. And Aaron for several years, had a standard on offense. He had an offensive coach, two of them. He had a great O line every year PFF top ten packer. He had running backs, he had a standard. He had success. He had a front office that drafts and develops. In my opinion, and I've said this recently as well as any in the NFL last twenty five years, packers draft and develop at an incredibly high level. And he grumbled passive, aggressive shots. He went into the darkness, and he chose the Jets. Bad luck, bad look for Sala, bad look for Aaron smartest guy in the room made a really bad career choice. You can't take him seriously. I got Baltimore's organization and Lamar Buffalo was winning before Josh Allen. I got Joe Burrow coming back. I got two of Mike McDaniel. I look at all the CJ. Strouds, a baller, Trevor Lawrence will bounce back, and you want me to take the jet Seriously? That was damning stuff right there. That was not good. All right, this could be good. So a bunch of things converged at one time. First of all, an NBC reporter in Chicago said, the Falcons are the leader in the clubhouse. On the same day that Raheem Morris at the combine, the head coach of Atlanta went to the podium and said, I wouldn't be here if we got better quarterback play. So the Falcons are in line for a quarterback and made a call last night. My feeling is it's not going to take forever. It is not gonna take forever. Now. I don't think Atlanta is the best place for Justin Fields. I think he's better served because he's not a refined quarterback. Yet I think he's better served going to an offensive coach, but Denver has one they don't want him. The Giants have one they don't want him. So I think Atlanta is the best place for him beyond those two. And here's why. Raheem Morris actually spent four year ye in Atlanta previously as a pass game coordinator. Raheem Morris very good friends with Sean McVay as one of the rare defensive coaches that really understands offense. It's also a weaker division NFC South to the NFC North. I think the Lions and the Packers are stacked with excellent offensive talent for years to come, not even paying most of it. Yet it's Aid Dome over Chicago Weather and Atlanta. We said this multiple times during the season, probably as the most underrated offensive line in football. PFF has it for. It's not as good as the Lions, you can argue it's as good as anybody else in the league. So in my opinion, now you will get a better version of Justin Fields. He's also going home more comfortable. Probably helps the Falcons have the number eight pick, they could take a quarterback, but you're going to get the third or fourth bet quarterback at number eight, You're not in there? Do you want to give up all this draft capital? I think Atlanta has always been the leader in the clubhouse. I don't buy Pittsburgh for Justin Fields. They don't know how to refine young offensive talent. They've been trying for years to do it with their offensive line. They can't figure it out. And he's not a refined player. So send him down to a defensive coach that understands offense. A bunch of young weapons in a dome at home week Division. That's about as well as you're gonna do without getting an offensive coach. And by the way, it's easy to dump on Justin Fields, and I've been critical of him, but Justin Fields is just what happens to every young Bears quarterback. Kyle Orton, Rex Grossman, Lynch, Trubisky, Justin Fields, Cade McNown. You see glimpses, you have a good stretch, and eventually it doesn't work because it's the Bears. They have a poor owner, always an ify front office. They have a lame duck coach. But you know what, Atlanta is a better spot. It's a do over, it's better weather, it's a weaker division, and it's a defensive coach. He's got one in Chicago. But this defensive coach has a better feel for offense. So we will find out. You can blame Justin fields or you can blame the Bears. Will know by Thanksgiving. If he's a Falcon, we will know by Thanksgiving. Was it Justin who ends up being average in Atlanta? Maybe? Or is it the Bears if he flourishes in Atlanta, But it does feel like to me. Also should be noted if he goes to Atlanta. The offensive coordinator is one of mcvay's guys, Zach Robinson and mcvay's offensive guys are all good. There are no whiffs with mcvay's offensive guys. He may not love Brandon Staley, but Kevin O'Connell in Minnesota, outstanding guy in Cincinnati, got to a Super Bowl, pretty good. Zach Robinson super bright guy. So mcvey's offensive guys all hit. Sean's one of the smartest guys in the league. He doesn't miss on any of his offensive guys like none. And that's who Atlanta Raheem Morris brings him over. That's who Atlanta's got is the OC. So if Justin Fields has talent. You'll see it. If he doesn't work, it's on him, because Atlanta is about as good as you're gonna do. Having a defensive coach, weak division, nice weapons, defensive coach, spent four years, passing game coordinator, a McVeigh disciple, offensive coordinator, tremendous offensive line. That is about as good as you're gonna do if you're Justin Fields out of Chicago. So NBC reporting it's likely Atlanta. Raheem Morris saying I wouldn't have this job if quarterback play was better. Now, maybe they could also get Justin Fields and draft a quarterback. I wouldn't do that. I think that's that's too much for Fields. He needs to be refined, he needs to be supported. He's gotten beat up a little bit in the press. So very exciting times. J Mac and Caleb Williams is now talking very exciting times.

Not a good look for Aaron Rodgers, who I've always said is a great talent. I don't view him as a great leader. That's okay, Kevin Durant, great talent. Don't view m as a great leader. It's not what he does. He hit shots, Aaron makes passes.

Yeah, you know, I hear all this Justin Fields Atlanta, and I'm looking around and I'm like, you remember your boy Sam Darnold. Yeah, yeah, top five, pick a lot of prospects. Yeah, he ends up going to San Francisco after starting in multiple places and sitting and now you and a lot of.

Yeah, you know, I hear all this Justin Fields Atlanta, and I'm looking around and I'm like, you remember your boy Sam Darnold. Yeah, yeah, top five, pick a lot of prospects. Yeah, he ends up going to San Francisco after starting in multiple places and sitting and now you and a lot of.

People think he's one of the best backups in the league. Yeah, does it make.

People think he's one of the best backups in the league. Yeah, does it make.

Sense for Fields to go to a smart offensive coach on a good team behind a good quarterback and maybe be a backup as opposed to go to Atlanta where I remember, I don't know that he's.

Gonna be a slam dugge.

Gonna be a slam dugge.

I lived. Sam Darnald didn't go from the Jets to San Francisco. There were a couple of fit stops, yes, where he wanted to be a number one and struggled and struggled. So justin Fields, if we're going to do the Donald comp Donald went to Carolina to be the guy and wasn't the guy. So Justin Fields is saying, hey, I've shown flashes. I get one more shot now if he doesn't work as a starter, and they'll probably give him two full years, And I think I think it'll be a better version of him. I think Rahe Morris has a better field for offense. It's a weaker division that's better weather. By the way, we've got to be honest about this. The NFC North now green Bay stacked and young and has cap space. Detroit is stacked and young and Minnesota has a coach that I think we and some weapons. We think Minnesota is on the rise if they can get the quarterback right. So, by the way, that division, Justin, if they bring Kirk Cousins back for two years, Well, Fields is not goff. He doesn't look like he's Jordan Love. I watched Week eighteen. It doesn't look close and he's not Cousins. If he's healthy. You can't do anything in a division with a fourth best quarterback. If he goes to that division, now you have an argument. Is he as good as Baker Mayfield? Whether he is or not, He's in the argument for best quarterback talent in his division? If you have the fourth best quarterback?

If you have the fourth best quarterback?

Wait, is he more talented than Derek Carr?

Wait, is he more talented than Derek Carr?

I think he is significant. He's bigger, stronger, more athletic. Derek I thought this year became a little bit of a dink and dunk.

Guy, Dennis Allen.

Guy, Dennis Allen.

You know, in that all tense, I'm just saying, if you are in the discussion argument for best quarterback in your division, you have a shot to make the playoffs. Justin Fields is the fourth best quarterback. If Kirk Cousins stays he's a fourth best quarterback in the division. I watched Jordan Love play Justin Field. I watched them play final week of the year. The gap was noticeable. It was not close. Not close.

Let me float one quick team to you, genius offensive mind. Already have a starting quarterback who runs around and make plays the Indianapolis.

If Justin Fields goes there, back up to Anthony Richardson, who got hurt I think three times in like eight weeks.

If Justin Fields goes there, back up to Anthony Richardson, who got hurt I think three times in like eight weeks.

I don't think you want to put pressure on Anthony Richardson having a star in the building. I think it's Anthony's team. Gardner Minshew's a perfect backup. Let's let's support Anthony Richardson. Justin is a well known commodity, He's talented. Let's not Let's just go all in for one more year on Anthony Richardson, who, for the record, is wild fund to win.

Let me just throw this out. McVeigh. Many believe Raheem Morris is mcveigh's best friend in the sport. Mcveigh's one of the smartest guys. Smart guys don't hang out with dumb guys. So Raheem Morris, if, by the way, you ever watched him at the podium, you watch it is sharp, real sharp. McVeigh considers him one of his best friends in the business. Well, Sean hangs with pretty smart guys, so I don't worry. And else. Raheem is not a defensive He's not a relic. He's not Jurassic dude knows offense. Do you think McVeigh would be close friends with a dinosaur on offense? Like he and Raheem. That's why they connect. He's a defensive guy that gets offense. So I justin in Atlanta? Is a good story? Is it a good ending? It is a good story. You watched Desmond River last year? You watched that stuff?

All right, welcome back. So finally, Caleb will USC's talented quarterback is talking. I think he has ninety four touchdowns and thirteen interceptions in three years of college football. Yeah, I think he's kind of talented. I think he's going to be good, and the Bears are going to draft him and they should. So finally he's talking. Pete Tamill been covering college football forever, a great, great writer. He basically Caleb Williams said, if I get drafted by the Bears, I'll be excited. If they trade the pick and I get drafted by somebody else, I'm just as excited speaking about Chicago. Got a talented team, a talented offense and defense. I'm not pushing any agenda. I'm excited for whatever comes. So this is precisely what his camp told me three weeks ago. They're going to go where drafted. They're not going to do an Eli manning of John Elway. Privately, does Caleb's camp have concerns? Yeah, anybody with a functional brain wood to poorly run franchise. Go ask Aaron Rodgers what it's like to join a circus. They have the poorest owner, they have a tenuous front office, a lame duck head coach. They haven't had a top ten offense. In the decade, Sorry Chicago, there's concerns from his dad, from Caleb, from his agent if he gets one. They haven't won a playoff game in thirteen years. I mean, just think how gifted Trevor Lawrence was number one high school and college quarterback. Go look at his three years with the Jaguars. Been an absolute roller coaster. Justin Herbert, there's a reason Jim Harbaugh took the job in LA Justin Herbert's the reason four years no playoff wins. Why the culture of the Chargers has always been disappointment. You ever notice that many of the best quarterbacks joined really solid organizations. Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, by the way, Josh Allen, they made the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor before he got there. Jordan Love See how he's flourishing. See the support brought pretty out of college joined excellence. It matters. Caleb Williams is great. If you gave him a list of thirty two teams he would go to, Sorry Chicago, you would not be in the top five. But he's gonna make the best of it. I do think he is substantially more accurate and more talented than Justin Field's and you restart the clock, you would I mean, if you don't pick Caleb Williams number one. Drake May has been too inconsistent with his accuracy to take number one. Jaden Daniels and JJ McCarthy are smaller and thinner players. Bo Nicks has a much lower ceiling, and Michael Pennix has an injury history. It's a no brainer. Draft him, get out of the way, and figure out a way to protect him with your offensive line. Load up more draft capital and protection up front. But he is finally talking. He is saying what he said to his camp said to me three weeks ago, They're gonna play nice, They're gonna go for it excited. I want to be positive. His camp did tell me three weeks ago. The one thing they truly truly like about Chicago is that it's a city that's loud and cares about football. You go to Jacksonville, they can tarp off the upper deck. You go to some of these places, they just don't care as much. Chicago cares, San Francisco cares, Philadelphia cares. He wants to go to an organization that if he fails or he struggles, they care as much as he do. He does, and he feels like Chicago is a city that's loud, will hold people accountable. Michael Jordan. You know, go look at the history of Chicago. They've had some success and it's a city of passion, some legacy. And he's excited. But it wouldn't be. No reasonable person who's a quarterback would pick Chicago first, all things being equal. Jmack with the news.

All right, welcome back. So finally, Caleb will USC's talented quarterback is talking. I think he has ninety four touchdowns and thirteen interceptions in three years of college football. Yeah, I think he's kind of talented. I think he's going to be good, and the Bears are going to draft him and they should. So finally he's talking. Pete Tamill been covering college football forever, a great, great writer. He basically Caleb Williams said, if I get drafted by the Bears, I'll be excited. If they trade the pick and I get drafted by somebody else, I'm just as excited speaking about Chicago. Got a talented team, a talented offense and defense. I'm not pushing any agenda. I'm excited for whatever comes. So this is precisely what his camp told me three weeks ago. They're going to go where drafted. They're not going to do an Eli manning of John Elway. Privately, does Caleb's camp have concerns? Yeah, anybody with a functional brain wood to poorly run franchise. Go ask Aaron Rodgers what it's like to join a circus. They have the poorest owner, they have a tenuous front office, a lame duck head coach. They haven't had a top ten offense. In the decade, Sorry Chicago, there's concerns from his dad, from Caleb, from his agent if he gets one. They haven't won a playoff game in thirteen years. I mean, just think how gifted Trevor Lawrence was number one high school and college quarterback. Go look at his three years with the Jaguars. Been an absolute roller coaster. Justin Herbert, there's a reason Jim Harbaugh took the job in LA Justin Herbert's the reason four years no playoff wins. Why the culture of the Chargers has always been disappointment. You ever notice that many of the best quarterbacks joined really solid organizations. Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, by the way, Josh Allen, they made the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor before he got there. Jordan Love See how he's flourishing. See the support brought pretty out of college joined excellence. It matters. Caleb Williams is great. If you gave him a list of thirty two teams he would go to, Sorry Chicago, you would not be in the top five. But he's gonna make the best of it. I do think he is substantially more accurate and more talented than Justin Field's and you restart the clock, you would I mean, if you don't pick Caleb Williams number one. Drake May has been too inconsistent with his accuracy to take number one. Jaden Daniels and JJ McCarthy are smaller and thinner players. Bo Nicks has a much lower ceiling, and Michael Pennix has an injury history. It's a no brainer. Draft him, get out of the way, and figure out a way to protect him with your offensive line. Load up more draft capital and protection up front. But he is finally talking.

No, no, turn on the news. This is the herdline news.

No, no, turn on the news. This is the herdline news.

All right, let's stick with another quarterback, Russell Wilson Collin. Lot of drama swirling around the Denver Sean Payton stuff. Sean Payton made some comments according to uh broncos GM George Patton, a change in scenery for USS probably won't come via trade.

You know, I haven't heard anything from any teams, you know, so you know, we'll see. We had to get through our draft meetings, we had to get through our free agent meetings and evaluate with what we have, and and so we just want to get through the process. Sean needs to see all these quarterbacks. The coaches need to see all these quarterbacks until we make an informed decision.

Well, yeah, that's gonna be the sort of attaching a draft pick to them. If you if we could choose where the quarter I would choose Baker stays in Tampa, justin fields Atlanta, Russell Wilson to Pittsburgh.

I don't agree with Meryl Hodge. I don't think Kenny Pickets the answer in the AFC or that division, fourth best quarterback in that division. And then I think Kirk Cousins. I don't think Minnesota is going to be viable in that division as good as Green Band Detroit is with a rookie quarterback. So do you bring Kirk Cousins back and draft a quarterback later? Go get a Penix, but get him later. But if I could choose where Russell went, I think Pittsburgh's great.

But you keep saying if the Fields goes to Atlanta, he's probably the best quarterback in the division.

Or in the mix in the Why wouldn't Russell Wilson go there?

Or in the mix in the Why wouldn't Russell Wilson go there?

Well? I do, but I don't know if Raheem Morris. I think my takeaway is Russell is established. When you get Russell, you get all the good in the bad. Justin Fields is a young man that needs He's like a four dollars stock that can you turn him into a twelve dollars stock? And I think Raheem Morris thinks he can kind of mold justin fields to be with all these young guys, and these young guys grow together. Now. I could make an argument that bringing a veteran with this offensive line Atlanta's funny. You know, Atlanta is either really interesting or lousey. Like my whole life. It's like you've had these really good teams and they evaporated a year later. Is I could argue Russell Atlanta Russ Pittsburgh, and I can make an argument both, and they both feel fine with me. But my feeling is there's some immaturity with some of the Steelers offensive players. It feels like it's been like this for ten twelve years, and I think Russell brings in maturity, commitment. I don't feel immaturity with Atlanta. I just feel like they haven't had the right coach and the right quarterback. I don't think they need an injection of maturity in Atlanta. They just need a better quarterback. Pittsburgh needs to grow up. Tomlin has no feel for offense. Give Russell Wilson the offense. He's a grown up. He'll hold those young guys accountable. And Pittsburgh is stacked with talents.

That all things being equal, the health checks out for both. And you are the Atlanta Falcons, Russell, Wilson or Fields.

That all things being equal, the health checks out for both. And you are the Atlanta Falcons, Russell, Wilson or Fields.

Well, Russell's better, but he's expensive. Now if I get him, for if I get Denver pays the they have to.

I mean they're gonna have to, right, They're gonna Russell's better.

I mean they're gonna have to, right, They're gonna Russell's better.

So you take Russ that's where Fields gets in. Well, it's Raheem, Yeah, I mean Russell is better than Justin Field.

You're Morris, who gives you a better chance to win and maybe win.

That's a very good argument. It's a very good argument.

That's a very good argument. It's a very good argument.

I think.

Okay, I'll put it this way. Russell is more necessary in Pittsburgh. Justin Fields isn't refined defensive coach. He can go he could go man overboard.

You could also say the Atlanta guys are also young, but.

You could also say the Atlanta guys are also young, but.

B Jeon Robinson's a grown up Drake London. But I'm saying they're young players, but mature are It seems to me more mature. They just need a better quarterback, and Justin Fields and Russell are better than Desmond Ritter. Pittsburgh needs a grown up in the room. Because Raheem Morris does have a feel for offense. Tomlin doesn't. So give Mike a guy that can run the offense, a super Bowl quarterback and Deontay Johnson pickings. Those guys are complaining. They're it's like, bring down the heat, bring down the noise. You know.

I think he's Kirk Cousins. So they're gonna pay him sixty. No, that's what I'm not joking. That's the number. They're gonna pay him like six, No, yes they are. That's the sixty. Well, now with a salary cap going up, that's the number. And he's a he's a thirty seven to a forty two, and he's sixty. That's three players. That's three players I can get Brady was taking pay cuts when Breeze took a pay cut, when Peyton Manning wasn't the highest paid. Funny how the roster gets better.

So in Los Angeles we're on a bit of a roll. Chicago and New York. I don't have a real explanation. Maybe it's weather. I don't know, but Los Angeles is on a roll. Star after star after star keeps coming to our city. Even our coaches Lincoln Riley, Sean McVay, Jim Harbaugh are stars. And show Hey Otani from Orange County to Los Angeles County has moved up to be a Dodger. Here was his first at bat in spring training.

Hung on, hit high in the air to the left. Indeed, this bar carrying this bar is dun It is Dodger debut. Showy O time brings them to their feet.

Up to right home run all right, first game, not as first at bat, whatever, is pretty incredible. My prediction the Dodgers will draw over fifty thousand people per home game and will shatter all the Dodger attendance records. We've been told that the Dodger radio and TV sales they are now closing deals and getting interest from companies who never really spent money on baseball broadcasts. Shohei Otani is an absolute revenue machine. It feels a little bit like when a Rod went to the Yankees, where those Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday night games in the Bronx were had an additional ten to twelve thousand people. But Otani is global and handsome and large and productive. He's an event, and people in Los Angeles love an event, and he also joins a winning culture. So LA knows how to treat stars. This is not Lebron in Cleveland or Shaq in Orlando, where it always felt a little lobsided, too big of a star in a small town. But you know, it's interesting to watch because Yankees went out and they got Aaron Judge and Garrett Cole and they got Soto. So they got stars. But it is interesting that it felt like ten years ago kind of the Yankees were where stars went, and the even the Yankees now to me feel small by Dodger standards. The Dodgers out drawn significant, they out earn them, they outstar them, and I can't watch. I can't wait to watch Otani and the Dodgers. As I've said before, I'm a baseball casual. I'm not sitting down watching nine innings very much. But the Otawni thing is like notable, Like I get stuff on my email from the Dodgers, like stuff is selling out fast and yesterday on display. When people talk about spring training games on sports talk radio locally about a spring training at bat, you know something is significant and it's weird. In Los Angeles, the two things that feel big right now hard bought of the Chargers, Otani and the Dodgers. You can feel it. You can feel it before the season starts. All excite, excitement there for the Dodgers. Success is more than a destination. It's a path you take one step at a time. Fortitude, dedication, the hard work inside all of us that comes before the recognition. That's what Steve has been doing for over one hundred and thirty years.

All excite, excitement there for the Dodgers. Success is more than a destination. It's a path you take one step at a time. Fortitude, dedication, the hard work inside all of us that comes before the recognition. That's what Steve has been doing for over one hundred and thirty years. They're Midwest based Saint Louis, to be specific, stif E L. Stiefel one of the fastest growing wealth management firms in America.

By the way, Caitlyn Clark year one year, two year, three year, four her games are beating men's games significantly, in college basketball. Why because continuity. We can expect it like I can be. I can think two things at once. I can love player empowerment but not think mobility is good for a sport. College basketball now between the one and done and transfer portal is a mess. I can't keep track of anybody. Caitlin Clark, I know what I'm getting. It's one of the things we talk about this all the time. Remember when all those guys went to Brooklyn, I was like a k D and Kyrie Irving and James Harden. They had the lowest TV ratings of any local team in America, and that broadcast team with the Nets wins on a regular basis. The best broadcasting team Iron Eagle. Very funny. Really, one of the best local broadcasting teams could be a network team out there. It's not that it's that everybody loves player empowerment. Fans are creatures of habit, and Caitlin Clark, you know what you're getting. Sold out arenas kind of a Steph Curry vibe to it, and the ratings have been absolutely phenomenal. So ya you know. And again I'm for the transfer portal, But in college football, teams lose about six percent, seven percent around there of their roster. College basketball teams are losing half of it. You can't keep track of who's playing unless you're at Kansas Jayhawk fan. You probably know your roster in one or two of your rivals rosters, but go ask them who starts for ninety percent of the teams. You can say what you want about the NBA. I know who's starting for the Warriors tonight, and the Celtics tonight, and the Mavericks tonight. I can tell you who's starting for Minnesota and Oka. See that. Mobility sounds great and everybody's for it, but the truth is it's hard on sports. You want your stars to stay put for years and years and years. Speaking of stars, when Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole, action was predictable. Draymond Green, bad guy, get him at US the Bay Area, and Jordan Poole's a victim. But yet it was interesting that Steve Kerr was not as upset with Draymon as he was that the video leaked. You're seeing now why Jordan Poole signed with the Wizards. It's officially the worst contract in the league. He's a cocky goofball that has no idea how to play basketball. His highlights are embarrassing. The problem was Jordan Pool with the Warriors, and part of the solution was Draymond Green getting in his face. I know it's harsh, but have you seen the Warriors since Draymond Green came back in mid January? Have you seen the numbers? I've watched half of those games minimum. They're number one in points per game, number one in the sisper game, number two and three point shooting, and number seven in wins. I say this when I talk to my friends about basketball, I will judge your basketball knowledge in the NBA on one player, Draymond Green. If you don't think he's good, you don't get it. I'm not interested in your opinion. After Steph Curry, he is the soul and the heartbeat of the franchise and all these championships. Kevin Durant wandered into town, couldn't take the authentic and raw opinions of Draymond, Kirk Can, Klay Can, Steph Can. Kevin couldn't. He left and his career has been mediocre since. But Jordan Poole is a losing player who fanboys often love because he makes an occasionally good highlight, setting screens, defending IQ, getting the ball to the right players, demanding hard practices on the road. I was told a couple of years years ago by somebody close to Steve Kerr that the value of Draymond that fans didn't see about fifty percent of it, because when you are a team in professional basketball that scores easily, it's hard to maintain difficult practices. It's one thing if you're the bad boy Pistons, or you're a defensive minded team without great offense, where you got to really work your way to wins. Work ethic is vital. Those teams practice hard, but when you're gifted offensively, you can flip a switch. It's hard to get those teams on a Tuesday in Denver on an off day, to come to shoot around or come to practice and grind. Draymond Green demands the Warriors do that, and Steve Kerr has often said he holds us so accountable. Now at times the Warriors have had to hold him accountable. He is not perfect, he has made mistakes, but with Jordan Pool on the floor, the Wizards have been outscored by three hundred and seventy seven points. He is a losing player who had to get out of the organization. When Draymond's on the floor eighteen games since his suspension, they're the best offense in the league. And he's a defensive player. So if you don't get Draymond, you don't get basketball. You're just about You're a fanboy who just ah guy shoots and score. Jordan Pulls a losing player. Draymond Green is a winning player. There's only a handful of guys in this league. You're Kd's, you know Luca's, you know Yokich who can give you thirty two a night. I mean that you can't define everybody on the points they can get you. Very few guys can score twenty five points a night in the NBA. You gotta do other stuff, and Draymond does all the other stuff. Our lead story today was interesting former Jet briefly mccol hardman, who was with the Chiefs, went to the Jets back to the Chiefs, was on the Pivot podcast and laid out one of the many problems he saw when he was briefly with the Jets going.

So y'all keep telling me certain things. It's like, I'm not going for that, like because y'all are not doing it right. Like we got helmins on the dround. We don't got no discipline. People feel like it's too many individual egos in this locker room or whatever. And I'm telling nobody that's not gonna get try to win. It's not gonna happen.
