You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Greetings, Welcome inside final hour tonight the Jason Smith Show with my bes friend Mike Harmon. Uh And just as fast as you could say, hey, we got an NHL playoff game in overtime. Nope, not anymore at escalated quickly. Maybe Gabe Landsgog was the cooler for tonight's game for the Avalanche Stars win it and over time two to one. A big night in the NHL. Look, we talked about the Kings winning a game at home up over the Oilers. They went it's six to two. Big night in the NBA playoffs as well, which we'll get to more of the NBA coming up in a minute. But we are less than twenty four hours away from the draft, and I know I saw it a couple of times, maybe once earlier today. But I don't know. We have a big cable system here. It's not like we have, you know, cable town like they had a thirty rock. You know, we have pretty big cable system here with everything. We could not find Draft Day of the movie at any point in the last four hours. How is it not? How is it not on any station that has the rights to it as a marathon leading up to the draft, it should be twenty four hours of Draft Day. Oh, by the way, pat and pending for that, like it should be on Hey, twenty four hours up to the draft. We're gonna put Draft Day on. It goes all the way up to all after all they up to and they air it like you know what eight times and twenty four hours you get air because probably it's over two hour movies, so with commercials it's probably three. You know, you probably get eight times. Do you not have that?
Now? I know it's on streaming, No, but I don't mean streaming, I mean regular a I can flip around again, most people do flip around.
Oh draft days. I'm gonna leave it all while I'm doing whatever I can then flip back to a game if I want to see that because look, as much as you want to say streaming, streaming is something that still you go there saying I'm gonna watch this, and I'm gonna watch it. I'm gonna be an active watcher, right, which means I'm gonna watch something on stream because I'm gonna sit and watch it and that's my number one focus. Whereas when you turn on cable and movies on cable, generally it's a movie you've seen before. It's I'm more of a passive you where it's on while I'm making dinner, it's on while i'm doing it, playing a game on my iPad or something where oh hey, I love this part and I can stop and watch it. Then we need to a point where Ellen Burston comes on screen yelling, no, you have to bury your father's ashes today. Okay, I can focus on my crossword puzzle for a few minutes and then go back to it after.
Why you gotta do that to Elan Burston because that was stupid, That.
Was a stupid part of my No, it's gotta be today. For a woman who's whose entire life she understands what what Sunny Weaver's dad everything was about that she knows how important the day of the end, first day of the NFL.
To some degree, she didn't like it, and this was her way to fighting her kid is the GM And no, no, I gotta take time out of you looking at that, Vonte mac no matter what paper to say, Hey, you gotta say something.
We gotta spread your dad's ashes today. That was just stupid. It was stupid. Okay, there's other stupid parts of movie too, but that you know. But that's the charm of Draft Day is that even though parts of it is really dumb, and certainly you look at how the GMS acting, you're like going, okay, that that's not realistic. But then you watched the Giants.
Then you've watched years of the Cleveland Browns, You've watched the Jaguars, you've watched the Jets.
Watch and watch the Island go that GM and head coach would get fired if they did that. Scotty Carson would get fired and Jacksonville if heated that, all these guys would all get fired off. Terrible general manager, I'm on the mass. Terrible.
The barbarians are as the gable all right, So here you get you want you want better news, Yeah, give me better at six o'clock tomorrow Pacific Standard time in the morning. Yes, okay, e E is running draft day nine am tomorrow.
Okay, am okay, Well to hang on Harmon's Harmon's got his own marathon going here ocause, So six o'clock on a noon tomorrow on I f C. Okay, back to back so okay? So six am, Ony, yeah, nine am on and.
Twelve o'clock on City okay, and then six o'clock tomorrow night.
One. Okay. I would I would have run that a little bit earlier, because I get it that's gonna run into the drug.
But Cometo or one of those guys, Steve Comet, how you like that? Used to work with Steve Cometo. They go, oh man, and then and then Saturday morning he hasn't been at in twenty years, Steve Cometicos gonna give me an aj Benza line too?
There?
Games could could it give me a Florence Anthony. I'm Florence Anthony. You didn't know what was gonna. I don't even know. She was a gossip columnist and she would always end with looking at the camera going I'm Florence Anthony, and she would say it like that and he was really funny. No, it's good. I'm Roseanne, Roseanne and Dan. She was great. All right.
So, and then Saturday, if you didn't get enough draft coverage between our work here at Fox Sports Radio with Jay Glazer, Jennie Taft, LeVar Arrington and Joe Douglas, into us into Ben mallor uh, you can watch at two thirty in the morning on Saturday.
But the problem, what's that buddy that is not on the album is Jason's got a FEVA and he needs more draft day the night.
Tell me, I really do you want me to start it on my streaming? I want to explore the room. I want to explore the room with that. You know, you don't just randomly fire up one of the services and start looking around to what it's talking.
It's like, okay, then if I want to go back if a game gets closer, it's a pain in the ass to go back. It takes like forty five seconds to go back conversation. No, that's what I mean, Like, you know, well said, hey, look the Mets played earlier today and I sweep that Phillies. But no, but I'd want to go back. It's just more of a pain like it's it's still let me hit the button to go back. Sometimes it takes a few seconds. I want I want them. You don't have to get up off here out of your chair to go to But this is what you ask if you ask anybody that watches TV in a big way, and they would say, oh no, forty five seconds to get from something to something else, way too long. Did you see the latest innervation?
They're working on a service that I just killed off that I might have to bring back from this feature.
What's that?
Then I'll be able to watch sports and entertainment in a multi view system. Okay, it's part of the the YouTube TV expansion.
Okay, all right, so.
You'll be able to pick up to you know, make your own four box.
If I can watch Draft Day and then I can watch the draft of something at the same time, all right, why not? And I could do the volume on anyone. Yeah, there you go. See, but still no draft dates and you know what, I'll start it now.
That's just for us.
I mean really, it's just insane. You don't have it on.
Hey.
But that's the thing is that the charm of Draft Day, of the movie, it's like it's not it's not a great movie, but it's got a lot of forward propulsion, and the plot is good, the actors are enjoyable to watch, and it gives you just enough somewhat semblance of the chaos of the day, sure, and what the NFL does, because look, obviously it's a big it's it's it's kind of a set a little bit of satirical and going on that more sterial, but more over the top of what the NFL draft really is. But you get a great sense and sometimes and I understand, Hey, when you make something like this for TV, you gotta have plot lines in it that isn't just hey, it's all football. No, you need plotly, you need Ellen Burson in you need what's going on with Jennifer Garner, you need all of this to show everything going on with Sunny Weaver, the chaos he's dealing with, and over the top. And it says, okay, and if it's a little bit unrealistic, I'm okay with it. But there's enough fun and there's enough great line. I mean, this is movie. He's got great one liners in it, so many great one line of course, and that that okay, it makes it makes up well when you have Dennis Leary, is he singing I'm just a regular Joe or is.
He trying to catch Spider Man? Or is he this is the team Miken coach? Even I mean you got all of that.
He's not believable at all his head coach, by way, And I love Dennis Leary. I think the guys one of the funniest comedians in the last thirty years. I love Dennis Leary. And you're so not believable as a head coach like Kevin Costner. Believable as the GM he is. He's a fantastic job in this movie. He carries everything and he's the conduit. He does a great job. But even all the smaller ones. When you get to Brian Drew, the guy playing Brian Drew is really really good, right, and the and the Cleveland Royalty storyline with Terry Crews is so great and you get emotional at the end when his kid gets draped and then you started running White Chicks down? Do you want you want to be a Cleveland Brown? And he puts his hand over his head and you're like, oh my goodness, you know, and the bow Callahan falling and you know, Sam Shepherd, Not Sam Shepherd. Sam Elliott's not quite a Wisconsin had foot.
Oh come on, he was fantastic. Looks like the first time he's worn shorts in his life when they had him, they had him on TV. I don't wear shorts. I normally have chaps. Can I wear blue jeans and cowboy boots? Now the thing is there's practice going on. It's it's spring practice, all right.
Fine, Jennifer Garner, Jennifer Gardner's really good too, right, she's shin Mingbride. I mean salary cap no Chi McBride actually is terrible, and he's terrible, and at least the Seattle head coach is not believable, but he's fun because he's very frustrating. And Scotty Carson not believable as well, but he's so flustered that he's fun. Right, And Jonah from Deep.
Is fun, you know, But tell me Scottie Carson doesn't invoke images of several war rooms over the last decade.
Absolutely. Oh yeah, you can totally see this. I mean that's Joe Shandon. Yeah, that's completely Scotty car and it's so Joe Shane. They just need to recut it where Scotty Carson's got a young kid. That is the question we get to ask Joe Douglas tomorrow. You know all the football films out there, let's focus on one that really matters draft ding and you know the funny things. The funny thing is one of my friends become friends with in the last ten years. He's in the movie and he's in his big scene is he's in the war room scene for the Browns. Leilani Barrett. I went to his birthday party two weeks ago. His birthday party is great, way look at it?
Are you?
I went to his birthday party and great to big voiceover guy and does a lot of voiceovers, and he's one of the he's one of the crew or the you know, part of the staff that's in the scene. I said, what was it like shooting that. He goes, my goodness, you tell me, it's insane, everything going back and forth and Kevin Costner's saying this, and he goes, oh it was. It was just an absolute blast. He's in the entire scene. I don't think he has any lines, but he's he's in the scene. He throws the football at a girl. But head the more I look back as I go, that's Jonah from Veep is here and he's he's in this and I keep waiting for him to run a Jonah line, you know from it. I mean, it's so unrealistic, but it's just fun. It's it's the drama. What are the Browns gonna?
I mean?
And you tell me, I'm come on the end of the end of the draft where hey, it's not do we take bow Callahan or not, it's we pass on bow Callahan and we take Vonte Mack And oh boy, I'll tell you, you know, underrated performance by Chadwick Boser and and and the film stuff with that is fantastic. Oh Vonte was out of the game. Here, go back and watch the tape, like like, not only did they pass? I mean, just think about this first round for the Browns. The day starts, they trade up for the first overall pick in the draft, but at the end then they then they say, Okay, a guy we could get all these plays, We're gonna take him number one overall. Okay. Then I'm gonna trade away all of my second round picks, and then I'm gonna trade back with my second round picks to come back and I'm gonna walk away with a linebacker that gets to the quarterback. I'm gonna walk away with a running back whose Cleveland royalty? David putt because he felt like it. Ye, Brian Drew stays the quarterback like I kind of want a draft day too. To be well, Brian Drew got hurt in the preseason. I was screwed. Should have taken bo Callahan. Always wanted the sequel. I always wanted the revenge of Bo Callahan, right. I also wanted the brass knuckle phone case that enough I look for that. I was there.
You can buy it.
It's tough, but man, that's so good. That's so good. Man, that that just that. I would love to have that for my phone. The brass knuckles on the phone. Thirty dollars, Oh, thirty dollars. But is it real brass knuckles?
Like?
Is it? If it's plastic, it's gonna breaks like silver bucks. I mean that's great, But would my fat fingers fit through that? I don't know. I mean, did you lose I don't know. I don't know if I lost waiting in my finger, yeah, I lost wait around my wrist. I can now touch my my my middle finger to my Uh, when I touch around my wrist fingers, Yeah, I don't know. My fingers might not even fit through. I would just have like the fingers like when I try to put a ring on my middle finger and it just goes past the first knuckle. Like that would be it. Like I gotta hold my phone like this. It doesn't work.
Well.
The first thing you had to do is get off some of that sodium. Oh yeah, that is true. Yeah no, no, no, no no. So getting off the sodium.
Is a big thing. And distance yourself from the Knicks. Listen psychologically, that does help the Mets one today. So everything is fine.
It'll be distanced from the Knicks for quite a while soon enough.
What do you need distance from? I need distance from the Knicks in a big way. Exit. How about a Fresca exit? Swallen down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmen live from the tirec dot Com studios. But I mean, like there should be twenty four hours a draft day and interspersed with interviews.
Well, they give me that Christmas story for twenty four hours every year.
Why can't they give me draft day? I mean, cause it's going it's a very specific thing. And I don't you know, I don't know how and now how has there not been a companion Draft Day movie? Like we had Deep Impact and Armageddon? Like okay, how can we? How we not?
Like Draft Day is like got a monopoly on NFL Draft movie because it's nor the NFL Draft movies. Feel like it's time to sit down and write one. You me and chat gmt NFL chick.

Fox NFL insider Jay Glazer, former New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas, College Football Hall of Famer and former number two overall pick Clivar Aringtech and Fox Sports lead college football reporter Jenny Tech delivered the pick fine pick covering at the next Nightday Night, Fox Draft Night Live lives right here on Fox Sports Radio.
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon live from the tire rack dot Com Studios. Uh. First of all, happy fortieth anniversary to new Coke. Was forty years ago to new coke. The Coca Cola company decided, Hey, yeah, we've had Coca Cola popular for the last you know, like fifty five years. But uh hey, now we're gonna get rid of it and give you new coke, new formula, new taste, new soda. Old coke is out, New coke is in. And then that lasted seventy eight days. More people said, wait an it, new coke is bad. You gotta bring the old coke back. And just like the NBA did when they David Searn says, the new basketballs we have are gonna be great. No, the new basketball suck. Oh okay, they went back to the old basketballs. New Coke seventy eight days. Now we're back to the old Coke. Seventy eight days. That was it. Uh, seventy eight days. That was It's all we had. You know why Knew Coke with New Coke failed because it was bad? Was it? That's why it was. I don't remember it. New Coke was terrible. Uh it was. It was a much different take than a much different taste take, a much different taste than you were used to. It was a little bit kind of like pepsi. But bottom line, you look at the two sodas that everybody's loved their whole life. Pepsi's a little bit sweeter. Coke has a little bit more that that that boulder taste, that that that everybody loves. But you know, when when I go back and think about this, man, you can think about Coca Cola brand as one of the most recognizable brands in the world, is still incredibly successful as they find a way to you know, get I ask their sugary drinks which are so bad for you. But hey, they reinvent themselves with Coke zero and diet coke and all the other different kinds of soda they have. Like I feel like New Coke is the dictionary definition of someone trying to justify their job. Because this is where and everybody can everybody can can commiserate with. This is that when you go to a job and somebody new takes over and they go, Okay, I'm going to change something that's wildly successful because I got to put my stamp on this company and I have to justify my job. I can't continue to just make money and have things go well, because what did you bring me in for. I got to justify my job so I can change things now. Sometimes this works, not always and not often enough, but this is where, hey, we got to do something big. Let's shake it up and change the game and bring in Nuka. Old Coke is really really successful. No no, no, no, New Coca Cola. Oh okay, new Coca Cola seventy eight days and I can't remember forty years ago. I guarantee you everybody in charge of New Coke got fired looking.
At some old survey data that said, Coca Cola, the granddaddy of them all. That formula accounts for twenty six percent of corporate sales. Dian Coke is at seventeen percent, So you got that going for him. Coke zero Sprite barks yeah, barks h fourteen percent. And then you get into power Aid and all their other subsidiary, secondary, tertiary brands. But yeah, I'm always curious when you add another product line.
It's like it's one thing.
If it's running alongside, it's to say, no, we've got something wildly successful, but let's just change it.
We're not gonna offer that any And here's the thing. You know, they were worried about it that they replaced old coke with it because they're worried that if we put new coke out and it sucks and people don't buy it, we failed because people just say, what, I want new coke. They may try it in the beginning because it's new, but I don't like it. I like old coke better. So they cut off their nose despite their face. Let's get rid of the product that we that everybody loves, because it's embarrassing if that products still around and people like the new and people don't like the new product. Looks like the new product is an absolute failure. So I said, no, no, let's make it where it's the only choice and then people will still buy it.
The other thing is that I'd love to get back and get into the white papers, like taking myself back to business school now of the all right, what is the what is the incentive for a restaurant to carry pepsi products? Because I'm seeing that a lot more like they must be getting a little bit of a juice free product, the pre free syrup all that, because it's seeing seeing a lot more prevalence of that of late, you know, the cola wars are back and alive.
You know, I think about that when I you know about the you know, pepsi in the war. When like when I go to a restaurant and they say what would you like to drink? What are you gonna have? And I'm gonna say, okay, of this and a drink, I'll take a die coke and they'll go pepsi, die pepsi? Yeah?
Sure, Like is anybody really gonna say h And I'll have a die coke diapepsi?
Oh no, no, Just a lot of people. Really, I don't think anybody will. Well, I don't go to Costco just because of that. No, they're gonna give me a sample and make me drink. Apparently they switching over one day. I think in the near future. Pushing over is one they just like when you go to a restaurant, it's not really a war. That's like bringing a water gun to like a grenade fight. No, or bringing a knife to a gunfight, like it's the coup p Yeah, yeah, cokie sure, and it's and it's uh, but look, I'm not saying, oh, no, matter how much you're not gonna drink pepsi, I'm not gonna drink what I drink diet. So it's like I'm not gonna say, oh, die coke, we have diapepsi. Okay, no, don't bring me that. No, come on, can't bring me that crap.
No.
I was like, oh, diapepsi. That's fine. If I say I'll have a diet diapepsis die coke, Yeah great.
You know how I avoid the whole thing. How's that you have coffee?
Oh yeah, well, A lot of times now, a lot of times now that I'm over fifty sometimes I'll go to breakfast and I'll like, what would you like? I'll have a diet coke, yeah, oh, and a mocha really yes, die coc and amocha? All right? Great?
And then and then I'm a walking embodiment of the Chris Farley sketch. Did you know that that was decas sort of a.
So look, we're getting set for the NFL Draft tomorrow or less than twenty four hours away. So exciting. And there's no more polarizing figure who has taking up more attention, way more attention than we needed than Shador Sanders, who initially looked like he was gonna go no later than second overall than it was he's not coming out of the top five. Then it's he's not getting out of the top ten. Now is he going to get past the Steelers at twenty one? His draft stock has fallen? And then today there was this report that Albert Breer Monday morning quarterback put out there according to NFL Draft in NFL insider Tom pelisera who's been around for a long time with NFL Network, Tom Peliser reported that a current NFL assistant coach said this about Shadoor Sanders quote the worst formal interview I've ever been in my life. He's so entitled, he takes unnecessary sacks, he never plays on time, he has horrible body language, he blames teammates. But the biggest thing is he's not that good. Right now, that is a scathing report. And I have never heard that sort of criticism of a of a player ever that. I mean, usually it's a hey, you know this guy. Yeah he's good, but he has trouble, you know, getting through his reads or another thing. Yeah, we like him, but he's more of a developmental guy. This is out and out. We don't like this guy. And that's something I have not heard. And I've never seen a draft report like this. I don't think I've ever seen one.
But if legitimately, that's what the guy said, right, and that's quoting this this person in the room in the interview process. Most of that's got nothing to do with the damn interview, right, He's the worst interview. Okay, he's entitled. Well he says he's the word he didn't know, but then he gets deep into the But you got nothing to do with the interview. Give me more on the interview. Yeah, Well, I think the more specificity there. The rest of it has got nothing to do with it, taking sacks and whatever.
He's got nothing to do with your interview. No, no, no, But I think what he's doing is this is this is the whole part of why we don't like him. It's the interview party is entitled. But you want to get down to brass tacks with football, it's this as well. I think honestly, the coach is probably saving stories that he could have telled that might have been more damaging to Shador Sanders, Like you wouldn't believe what the guy said in this He I'm gonna I'm gonna just gonna cover it for you by saying worst interview I've ever sat in on, because you know their stories with the worst interview I've said, And if he says it, then they're gonna know what team it was. It's gonna get out and it's gonna be bad. So I'm just gonna I'm just gonna kind of broad brush this with a worst than ever I've been on. But you want to know about him on the field, unnecessary sacks, never plays on time, horrible body language, blames teammates, all these other I mean that's that's not at all we've said.
We talked about a lot of those things you and I on this show since that game against Nebraska, Right, A lot of that was on display in the moment, the stuff for the interview process. You know, we've heard the word entitled a few times. I'd love to flesh that out a bit more so. Is that confidence that you don't like, like, like, what is it? Because some of it comes back to it might be a you as the receiver problem.
Right, You've heard as how you're.
You're you're you're getting an answer, and your predisposition based on what you may have talked to other people that have interviewed him, or maybe you've seen clips on TV or whatever. Like, you know, you have conversations inside your family, and I know I do with my daughters and with other folks, and depending on my frame of mind, what I hear and how I interpret it may not be at all how they intend it.
Yeah. Likewise, here this might just be like he is who he is. You don't have to like it this, Yeah, and this is not a one off with what we've heard of you. He comes in very very arrogant, very full of himself. We've heard about that, but not a bad trait to having a quarterback. I can win, I'm gonna turn you right, I'm gonna do all this. That's what we always ask for, right, All that, all that is fine.
But the lesson to be learned, because this is the realistic part of this, is that do I think that this is being made up?
I don't think coaches make stuff up. Do I think you're a little bit more personal about it because Shador Sanders and Dion Sanders are both such big personality and maybe they turn you off so you're more harsher in your analysis. Absolutely, But the real lesson in this is that no matter who you are, you're Shador Sanders, you're cam Ward, you're Ashton Gentee, you're Jackson Dart, whoever you are, you have nothing. You have something in common with every other person whoever's gone on a job interview in their life. Someone wants to hire somebody to fill a position. There's lots of choices they could go with. It's not like you're the only one, right, Hey, they have their favorites. And here come the five people whose resumes we like the most that come in for the interview, and what you have to remember is you're always selling yourself? Are you always one hundred percent who you are? An interview? You know you want to put on your best You want to put on your best behavior. You want people on Okay, Yeah, there's gonna be times where I say this or do but I think people understand that. Okay, you're still an individual and you're gonna do your own things sometimes. But you want to sell yourself as a product. And it doesn't matter if you're interviewing at a bank, if you're interviewing to be a quarterback with the Browns or the Giants, whoever it is. You are selling yourself and you want to make sure you put your best foot forward, which means I want to show you how confident I am in my skills without coming off as you just unplug on me because you tune me out because you think I'm arrogant. I want to come through with who I am, but still have you understand about who I am because I don't look it did one. This is why I'm like, Okay, I really don't get you because I'm meeting you for the first time. Understand this is what job interviews are about, and that's where I can say for Shador Sanders, did you do your best? And that's why a month ago, what did I say? He's got to go on a month long victory tour of Hey, maybe you didn't get to know me, and you know, talk to me a little bit more. This is what I'm about. What has he done the last month? Albert Bier wrote about this. He's gone and talked to all the different teams to give them more depth. Who is about himself? I said this a month and a half ago. This is what he's got to do leading up to the draft because he is killing his draft status right now. Whether it's accurate or not. The the optic and and the the image is reality. So if this is what people think you are, then this is what this is what you are, so you gotta go change that. But the lesson here is that, okay, there, you can come in and be arrogant and be and be a little bit cocky, but be a little bit endearing, give the best, give your best traits at all times in a job interview. Because I get the philosophy of if they don't like me for who I am, then screw it about. Just tell you this, are you going out on a date with someone you really like, and you're just gonna sit around and you know, pick your teeth and and and and watch the game while you're kind of half listening to the other person.

So I'm I'm wearing oh boy, you know, I might. I might go with the logo before he became the GM just you know, hey, it's gonna keep I've been a lifelong Jets fan, a lifelong.
Jetting psychologically, that's gonna help him.
What are you doing? I stay in touch over the summer. Oh that's great, I see it right there? Do you like me? Check you? But I feel like if I wear one of my older hoodie, he's gonna say, Okay, this is the guy that's been through a lot in his years on this earth because he's been a Jet fan his whole life. I gotta give him a little bit of time. Okay, great, all right, that's fine. That's how it's gonna go. That's how it's good. It'll be now, and I'm just convincing myself it'll be fine. Oh I mean, maybe it'll be on the attack. By seeing the Jed slow all of a sud I go, I don't know.
You become the embodiment of all the fans he dealt with that were around the team facility.
We're gonna start the show when you're gonna say you, okay, what are you talking about? He goes, you just m f Joe Douglass up and down, and you picked him up and put him up against the wall. I go, I don't know. I blacked out that there might.
Be very well, real, real, fair, old school kind of moment when he's debating James Carrville.
Did I really do that? I kind of blacked out. I don't remember any of that. No, no, it's perfect. We have no response. But look, I'm excited to meet the guy, Bob, excited to have that show. Remember that time that you drafted Sauce hand Garrett and the other guy. That was awesome. That kind of reminds me because look, Phil Jackson ran the Knicks into the ground, like spiraling Doward into a play. He didn't. But when I when I met him really quickly at the time at Barnes and Noble, when he walked by Zoe and I going down the stairs, I said, hey, great job with Porzingis. Because he did. Because Porzingis was a great draft pick. I mean, it wasn't working out. The Nicks were terrible, but he was a great dress I Hey, nice job with pors. I focused on the positive with him, so I can say to Jody, hey, like Frostburd's good. Hey, thanks for Sauce, Thanks for Garrett Wilson, Thanks for Jermaine Johnson, Thanks for trying and signing a thousand offensive linemen and having none of them work until just last year. Thanks and thanks, I mean I said, no, it's good though. What was Phil Jackson's response? He laughed, Eli laughed as he was going We were going on the on the down up a blind squirrel. I mean, now the thing is we Zoe and I wine squirrel. You can smash you over the head with his zens there, no, no, no. We were at the back of Nobles and Zoe and I were going down the steps from the top on the second floor. And we used to do a thing when she was a kid. We would count the steps going down to see if we come up with the same number. So we come all the way down from the top and we get to the landing and we go down the rest of it. You sound like francessa. And we get to the bottom one, two, three, four, and we get all the way down to the bottom, and of course we're on both sides of the steps going down, and you know, this is a while, agoes, this is Barnes and Noble is open. So we go down to get to the bottom. It's fine. We get to the bottom and I go, I go thirty five. His dad had thirty six. I go thirty five. Did you count the landing? She guy counted the landing is one, but this step is one, and I go, but I had thirty five and I'm not even paying attention. And all of a sudden I hear from three feet away a guy laughing. He goes, okay, you two, And I look up, but I go, oh, sorry, hey Zoe, we gotta move. Phil Jackson's got to get up the steps. And she goes, oh, and she moves. I go, okay. He smiles and gains because he was he was kind of entertaining for him and going by and go, hey, nice job on, poor z ingis And he kind of looked back and smiled and kept going up the stairs. Because you know, he likes to buy books, Like, yeah, he likes books. He likes to buy books everybody. He was in there on a book tour, book buying expedition for something.
I used to see him at the pancake place down the road in Manhattan Beach.
But he didn't never said anything to him, he didn't insult him. I smiled and nodded. Let the guy read his newspaper. Oh nice, okay.
Oh.
He always says, oh, do you not go up to a guy and like disrupt everything he's doing. I don't say that. Do not steal his shoes off his feet, run away with him.
How do you not do that?
How do you not go with a knife shave his mustache? How do you not do that? How do you let people just have their lives? You always say that to me, Oh, what do you do with Phil Jackson?
No? Oh, I just let him have his life. I say that about guys. You going, I can't believe you. How did you not pick the hairs out of the top.
Of his head?
No?
I would have done that. That's what you do all the time, all the time when you say that all that. Yeah, No, that's it.
I want hair from the unipron, Phil Jackson?
What do you want from me? All right? So with the draft tomorrow, we've had our Big Bowl prediction. We told you that Marian Hampton's gonna go on the top fifteen. The Giants and Browns will both trade back into the end of the first round for quarterbacks between twenty five and thirty two. I think four quarterbacks will go in the first round when it's all said and done. But the big one we've talked about the Cowboys trading up to get Ashton genty. Yeah, they'll go at number four, number five with either the Patriots or the Jaguars to get Ashton genty. Odds are thirty to one the Cowboys end up with genty. And you are gonna put your money where am I mouth is?
Well, you know what it looks like? A show slush fund? Might be an order here.
Show slush fund? How much you're gonna put on that? And I don't make that much money? Like five bucks?
Five bucks gives us a pretty healthy return.
Ten bucks gets you a lot, ten bucks gets you three hundred bucks.
Fasos some uh some decent returns.
I like it. Now you can. You can order food tomorrow and buy it once he wins. Coming up next to my buddy Ben Mallen. Draft tomorrow
