1:29

Pussy, good! At GNC, nutrition,

1:31

nutrition. to the Big Sui! presented by Draft Kings. Why are you

1:33

listening to this show? The podcast that

1:35

seems very similar to the other Dan

1:38

Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going

1:40

to apologize for that. In fact, the

1:42

only difference seems to be this imaging.

1:45

I have been tempted in restaurants just

1:47

walking past tables to grab somebody's fries

1:49

if they're just there. That hasn't happened

1:52

to you guys. I've done it. And

1:54

now, here's the marching man to nowhere,

1:56

fat face and the habitual liar. This

1:58

episode is presented by draft kings.

2:01

The crown is yours. Diana Roosini

2:03

is going to join us here

2:05

in moments to talk draft. I

2:08

think and I don't want to

2:10

sound. too terrible about this because

2:12

I don't think this is a

2:15

very popular opinion. But I think

2:17

we have to end Bring Your

2:19

Kids to Work Day, at least

2:21

in part, because I don't want

2:24

to walk into our studio anymore

2:26

and hear from the son of

2:28

Carl, our metal arcs head of

2:31

audio. Hey, are you paying my

2:33

dad minimum wage? I just had,

2:35

I just had what I believe,

2:38

an 11 year old or a

2:40

12 year old, 9, 10, somebody

2:42

just, yes, just, the answers, the

2:45

answers, but are you? No, no,

2:47

no. More or less? We're paying,

2:49

well, it can't be less. Well,

2:52

it can't be less, Jeremy. No,

2:54

no, no, it can't be. So

2:56

if you ban kids from coming

2:59

to work, does that mean Christopher

3:01

can no longer work here? I'm

3:04

considering a whole lot of sweeping

3:07

changes. I do like having the

3:09

kitties here. Chris's daughter walked in

3:11

with a makeup brush to, you

3:13

know, help touch everyone up and

3:16

I said, you should hit Mike

3:18

Ryan really hard in the face

3:20

with that and she actually did

3:23

it. Yeah, that's one of the

3:25

many reasons kids shouldn't be around

3:27

here. I mean work, not Earth.

3:30

Okay. Well... Thank you for that

3:32

clarity. I think Diana might agree

3:34

with me too as somebody whose

3:36

job would be made a lot

3:39

easier. She didn't have a couple

3:41

of kids throwing her cell phone

3:43

in the microwave. Diana, thank you

3:46

for joining us. I was made

3:48

angry on behalf of Shador Sanders

3:50

that the anonymous quotes have begun

3:53

like they do every year on

3:55

these quarterbacks. If I give you

3:57

the shocking prediction of Jackson, goes

3:59

ahead of Shadore Sanders, what are

4:02

the percentages of chance you think

4:04

that is? Yeah, I think they're

4:06

high. I think there's an 80%

4:08

chance that that happens. And look,

4:10

those those comments went out there

4:12

and it's part of the draft

4:14

process. It happens every year. There's

4:16

always a few players there that

4:18

get snagged and you know, I'm

4:20

sure you guys have had conversations

4:22

about whether or not to. It's

4:24

fair. There's anonymous stuff flying around.

4:26

And look, I do it as

4:28

well. I put out a column

4:30

yesterday. Basically, all the Intel I

4:32

could possibly collect over the

4:34

last three weeks as of

4:36

yesterday, you know, it was

4:38

draft Eve. And most of

4:40

that info still stands today.

4:42

But look. Sometimes you just

4:45

need to sort of get through

4:47

the fat of the conversation and

4:49

get to what people really believe

4:51

and feel about these quarterbacks specifically

4:53

just knowing it is a weak

4:55

class. Unfortunately, I believe some of

4:57

this is really unfair. And I

4:59

think it makes it really hard

5:01

for Theodore here who at one

5:03

point, I can tell you, he

5:05

was there the number one quarterback

5:07

for the New York Giants. They had

5:10

him graded. Number one, and that changed

5:12

over the last few months, not because

5:14

of the anonymous quotes, because of their

5:16

own research, their own conversations that they

5:18

had internally about whether or not he's

5:20

a good fit. But yeah, it is

5:22

that time of year where things are

5:25

flying around. The quote that I had,

5:27

that was my favorite, was essentially about

5:29

all of this as a whole, which

5:31

is. For fans specifically just when you

5:33

think that your team is smart

5:35

That you think that your team

5:37

knows exactly what they need You

5:39

can never rule out that there

5:41

are dumb-ass teams out there. Whether

5:43

you believe it or not. They're

5:46

just there And and owners have

5:48

a big say on tonight's decision-making

5:51

put it on the poll. Joo. Are

5:53

there dumbass teams out there at Lebitard

5:55

show? I would say that we have

5:57

some dumbass around here We are at

5:59

the draft Sort of tonight in Tennessee,

6:01

which isn't at the draft. I've

6:03

seen these crazy people in Green

6:05

Bay outdoors doing shows about transactions

6:07

on ESPN. I've seen Mike Greenberg

6:09

try to order an almond milk

6:11

latte in Green Bay and have

6:13

everyone laugh at him. The thing

6:15

that we're doing tonight is going

6:17

to be Billy Gill and Walter

6:19

Hawkins. tonight at the draft in

6:21

Tennessee where it'll be cam ward

6:23

right you're you're reporting that two

6:25

through four they've all received offers

6:27

browns giants patriots two through four

6:29

teams are interested in moving up

6:31

to a specific player but number

6:33

one's decided correct yeah they're not

6:35

taking calls anymore they made a

6:37

decision as an organization Pretty much

6:39

weeks ago, but officially we'll just

6:42

say this past week that They're

6:44

gonna go quarterback here So cam

6:46

ward has been graded as the

6:48

number one quarterback for a lot

6:50

of different teams outside of Tennessee

6:52

as well Although I will tell

6:54

you I did speak to one

6:56

head coach who has Tyler Shuck

6:58

at a Louisville ranked as the

7:00

number one quarterback above cam ward

7:02

Wow This was the same head

7:04

coach who told me last year

7:06

that Jayden Daniels was better than

7:08

Caleb Williams that they had him

7:10

graded above. Look, I remember him

7:12

telling me that last year and

7:14

understanding why he was saying that,

7:16

but if you remember, the push

7:18

for Kayla being number one overall,

7:20

it was absurd how many people

7:22

were in on that and not

7:24

saying anything else, not pointing to

7:26

any other quarterback. So look to

7:28

this coach's defense, he was right

7:30

on that for now. But yeah,

7:32

I do think that's interesting that

7:34

most teams do have cam ward.

7:36

But Dan, to me, the story

7:38

isn't one, who cares, we kind

7:40

of know it. It's who's two.

7:42

Right? Because it's been all over

7:44

the place as we're trying to

7:46

figure out what the New York

7:48

Giants are going to be doing.

7:50

We know they're in that quarterback.

7:52

What are they going to do

7:54

with... At this point, I'm sensing

7:56

that they're just going best player

7:58

available, which I assume it to

8:00

be Abdu Carter when they're on

8:02

the clock. Oh, I'm Mike Greenberg

8:04

and I'm in Wisconsin around all

8:06

these hillbillies. They've never heard of

8:08

alternative milks before. Ooh. It is

8:10

known for their dairy. Disrespecting the

8:12

local culture. I do think that

8:14

you offend Green Bay if you

8:16

go cheese that's not dairy. Diane,

8:18

the Giants, Cleveland, Saints, and Steelers

8:20

are the four teams that could

8:22

draft a quarterback. Is there a

8:24

mystery fifth team that you think

8:26

could draft a quarterback in the

8:28

first round? No, no, I don't

8:30

believe so. And even if there

8:32

was a team that, let's just

8:34

say, wanted to do it, I

8:36

don't think this is the class

8:38

for it, just because it is

8:40

a weak quarterback class as a

8:42

whole. And that's pretty much known.

8:44

So where did Dart and Sanders

8:46

land? If the New York Giants

8:48

are able to either move up

8:50

to go get him or maybe

8:52

perhaps they can just sit there

8:54

in the second round and get

8:56

him, I think there's enough smoke

8:58

now in terms of who the

9:00

Giants want as Jackson Dark being

9:02

the guy. I do think Tyler

9:04

Shuck is going to go in

9:06

the top. 40 here. I just

9:08

I'm not sure which team is

9:10

going to go with him. I

9:12

just have heard enough from different

9:14

coaches about how NFL ready he

9:16

is. Yes, he's older. So I

9:18

know he's 26. Yes, I know

9:20

I can't believe we're the same

9:22

age. It's wild to think that

9:24

that's a situation there. But that

9:26

doesn't that's not bad because I've

9:28

had this combo too with a

9:30

lot of different teams of, well,

9:32

what is the big deal that

9:34

he's 26 years old? If he

9:36

can play, you don't need to

9:38

worry about that right now, especially

9:40

if you're a team that's looking

9:42

to win now. And there's coaches

9:45

out there that like older quarterbacks,

9:47

as we've seen over the years.

9:49

So I just want to see

9:51

which team it is. that's gonna

9:53

be in on him. The Shador

9:55

Sanders. He's past his prime as

9:57

soon as his rookie contract is

9:59

over. Possibly, but you know, Bo

10:01

Nix is pretty old. And he

10:03

had a good season, I think.

10:05

I think we could all agree

10:07

Denver probably nailed that. And he's

10:09

gonna contain, look, he's not 26,

10:11

but look, it is funny to

10:13

think like he could be the

10:15

oldest quarterback in the quarterback room

10:17

if he's taken and he's the

10:19

rookie. depending on where he goes.

10:21

But look, the overarching story over

10:23

the quarterbacks, forget the rookies, it's

10:25

Kirk cousins. I'm watching that. I

10:27

wanna see if this happens, if

10:29

they're gonna trade them. Because look,

10:31

I've heard a couple different versions

10:33

of what Atlanta wants to do

10:35

here. They don't wanna take on

10:37

his salary, but they're willing to

10:39

give a little because they know

10:41

they probably gotta move them. Kirk

10:43

has to remember he has no

10:45

trade clause. So if he. If

10:47

a team is interested in training

10:49

with Atlanta, Kirk is going to

10:51

want to get involved here. So

10:53

I do think if something happens,

10:55

it's going to be later in

10:57

the weekend. But that's definitely in

10:59

play here. You've got the Cleveland

11:01

Browns, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and perhaps

11:03

the Minnesota Vikings, Vikings, and perhaps

11:05

the Vikings Vikings poking, and perhaps

11:07

the Minnesota Vikings poking, poking, poking,

11:09

poking, poking, poking, and perhaps the

11:11

Vikings poking, you're probably right? You're

11:13

probably right. You know, Aaron take

11:15

the time he needs because it's

11:17

obvious that he's got some personal

11:19

stuff he's got to deal with.

11:21

He shared that in his interview

11:23

with Pat McAfee. So I think

11:25

the Steelers are willing to give

11:27

him. to give him that space.

11:29

So, I mean, unless that personal

11:31

stuff, whatever he's going through, was

11:33

addressed and fixed and he feels

11:35

ready. But yeah, I don't, I

11:37

don't, I don't see it happening.

11:39

It's just, it's Aaron Rogers and

11:41

he does have a way of

11:43

making news. I think the story

11:45

then I could end up being

11:47

Shador Sanders if he tumb- and

11:49

keeps tumbling partly because the fireworks

11:51

from Dion Sanders are guaranteed. Where

11:53

do you see Sanders going? Shador.

11:55

I don't know. I really don't

11:57

know at this point because I

11:59

don't see a team. I haven't

12:01

spoken to a team who has

12:03

Shador Sanders as their top quarterback

12:05

right now headed into tonight. You

12:07

rule him out for 15 though

12:09

for Pittsburgh? If he's still there?

12:11

I think... Pittsburgh is trying to

12:13

move out, but let's say that

12:15

they can't. I don't know if

12:17

he's their guy. I don't feel

12:19

comfortable right now saying that he's

12:21

their number one quarterback on their

12:23

board and that they're going to

12:25

grab them at that spot. They

12:27

could do it, but... I think

12:29

there may be other quarterbacks that

12:31

Pittsburgh's interested in. Chances he is

12:33

not a first round draft pick

12:35

tonight. You're just mining for your

12:37

own mock draft here. You're not

12:39

just trying to collect information to

12:41

form your own draft. He's got

12:43

nine exactos last year. Who's your

12:46

number two pick today? What do

12:48

you have? One, two, three, because

12:50

it's clear that you're just totally

12:52

delving into your own narcissism with

12:54

your questions. days ago and I

12:56

don't change it so I am

12:58

not doing this related to my

13:00

mock draft I'm doing this out

13:02

of curiosity and because I respect

13:04

Diana's opinion I'm wondering what the

13:06

chances you think are that Shidore

13:08

Sanders is going to not be

13:10

a first-round pick tonight yeah I

13:12

think it's a bold statement but

13:14

but I also I would not

13:16

be surprised if he falls to

13:18

the second round That would not

13:20

surprise me. Nate Tice said Shador

13:22

is more of a day two

13:24

guy, a round two at best

13:26

guy. Yeah, that's fair. Look, this

13:28

is one of these drafts where

13:30

I feel like you say, we

13:32

can say two things of this

13:34

and be like, yeah, that would

13:36

make sense. I could see a

13:38

team possibly grabbing him at the

13:40

bottom of the first. I don't

13:42

see him going in the top

13:44

ten, no. But I could also

13:46

see him fall in there. somewhere

13:48

at the top of the second

13:50

round, you know, 14 looking to

13:52

add for sure. Ted McMillan, according

13:54

to Meena Kime, she says the

13:56

cowboys should take him if he's

13:58

there at 12, but he says

14:00

he doesn't watch football and doesn't

14:02

like to study film. Yeah. What

14:04

do you do with that? Yeah,

14:06

I mean, he's least being very

14:08

honest. I don't have the cowboys

14:10

taking him there. I do believe

14:12

from just having conversations. that they

14:14

are going to go offense. That

14:16

is the position of need for

14:18

them too, obviously, when you take

14:20

a look at their roster. Look,

14:22

I think. The one part of

14:24

this process that I enjoy is

14:26

how hard these teams work to

14:28

uncover as much Intel as possible

14:30

on these guys. And I love

14:32

that he's just putting it out

14:34

there like, yeah, I don't really

14:36

love football that much. Yeah, that's

14:38

a red flag. That's probably not

14:40

going to help your stock. I

14:42

don't think that that's a type

14:44

of turn that certain types of

14:46

coaches are going to embrace. You

14:48

can go around the league and

14:50

we can rip through some if

14:52

you want of teams that are

14:54

in on wide receiver and that's

14:56

probably not going to match up

14:58

very well. What do you make

15:00

of it? I'm looking up as

15:02

you talk that Greg Cody has

15:04

Shadore Sanders going nine to the

15:06

Saints and that doesn't feel like

15:08

an exacto to me. Yeah, that

15:10

pick is not aging. Well, like

15:12

I say... uh... i once i

15:14

make my mock draft and i

15:16

don't do nine mock drafts like

15:18

kiper and some of these guys

15:20

throwing darts at the board for

15:22

months so that you can say

15:24

you were right even though in

15:26

your latest mock drafted he has

15:28

dart at twenty one by the

15:30

way Darted 21. I don't like

15:32

I like that. Um, I think

15:34

that that's fair. I think your

15:36

saints predictions bad. Yeah, the scenes

15:38

aren't going quarterback. I'm not defending

15:40

it. Why don't you change it?

15:42

Oh, yeah. No, I didn't actually

15:44

break your rule. I appreciate that

15:46

you mocked. Um, so Greg, just

15:49

so you know, coaches and jams,

15:51

even owners, they read all the

15:53

mocks. Um, I haven't asked them.

15:55

if it was you like when

15:57

I when they tell me they

15:59

read the mocks I always just

16:01

assumed it's the mache is it's

16:03

the kipers is the field Yates

16:05

Daniel Jeremiah but I'm realizing that

16:07

they may not know of your

16:09

so I'm just gonna probably circle

16:11

back with the few of them

16:13

who's the most respected mock though

16:15

like if by consensus if you

16:17

had to do mock off who's

16:19

the mom the king of the

16:21

mokoffs yeah outside Greg probably Daniel

16:23

Jeremiah um I think he's considered

16:25

to be one of the the

16:27

best ones. Todd McShay does a

16:29

really good job too. I did

16:31

speak to a team who tracks

16:33

the accuracy of the mockers. Greg

16:35

got nine exactos last year he

16:37

beat Mel Kiper yeah nine right

16:39

pick to right so you guys

16:41

track two yeah well I do

16:43

for me he does just for

16:45

him yeah yeah he is pretty

16:47

consistently maximum me I'm curious Dana

16:49

why you don't do a mock

16:51

draft because everybody and his brother

16:53

and sister do and you know

16:55

more than 99% of people out

16:57

there why don't you do a

16:59

mock draft because I feel like

17:01

if I say that this is

17:03

what I believe a team is

17:05

doing The lunatics out there that

17:07

don't understand that I'm just collecting

17:09

information and making that prediction. They

17:11

can't separate prediction with when I'm

17:13

reporting truth. And I don't want

17:15

to deal with that hassle because

17:17

I deal with it every day.

17:19

There is an audience out there

17:21

of sports consumers who don't understand

17:23

that agents lie, players lie, teams

17:25

lie. Reporters are just trying to

17:27

get the information and they're trying

17:29

to be accurate about it. And

17:31

it's just it's such a hard

17:33

place to navigate. So I made

17:35

the decision to just step out

17:37

of the mock game and just

17:39

try to provide as much Intel

17:41

and allow you guys and you

17:43

specifically Greg to take that information

17:45

and form your own thoughts and

17:47

opinions and guesses. what these teams

17:49

should do. Fair. I'm wondering if

17:51

you could gather Intel for us

17:53

and reach out to some of

17:55

your sources in the NFL and

17:57

see how many of them have

17:59

read Greg's mock draft and see

18:01

what his influence really is like.

18:03

It seems like information that you'd

18:05

probably be able to. Peter Schrager

18:07

had more exactos than anyone last

18:09

year. He had 12 exactos. He

18:11

was the winner. Wow. Oh, that's

18:13

great. Good for Peter. how good

18:15

his was, because he'll tell you,

18:17

who he spoke to too. No,

18:19

I will. Peter will celebrate like

18:21

Greg. I will celebrate if I

18:23

have a good mock draft. If

18:25

I have a terrible mock draft,

18:27

it'll be a little quiet in

18:29

the aftermath. Quietly slink off with

18:31

no mention of it. Look, I

18:33

think that's kind of what's fun

18:35

about this time of year, because,

18:37

first of all, all the head

18:39

coaches and general managers right now

18:41

are so thirsty for information. So

18:43

this is like the one time

18:45

of year where they call them.

18:47

and you guys will appreciate this

18:49

like you'll be on the phone

18:52

with a coach let's just say

18:54

that's picky at the bottom of

18:56

the first round and a GM

18:58

from the top five will give

19:00

you a call and you're trying

19:02

to wrap that call up and

19:04

be respectful to the fact that

19:06

this person is taking time to

19:08

talk to you about what their

19:10

team is doing but I don't

19:12

really care what you're doing at

19:14

26 I need to know what

19:16

you're doing at three you know

19:18

so you have to do this

19:20

like polite of like hey I

19:22

got to go like hey I

19:24

got to go Someone more important

19:26

than you is calling. This is

19:28

the time where everyone is just,

19:30

they love to talk, and especially

19:32

today on actual draft night, they're

19:34

all really bored right now. So

19:36

the phones and the texts are

19:38

all flying around because everyone's just

19:40

got the nervous energy headed into

19:42

tonight, but they've all made their

19:44

decisions on what they're doing. They

19:46

know, the boards are set. So

19:48

this is. kind of the time

19:50

of year. I probably like the

19:52

best and also I think there

19:54

is a little bit of understanding

19:56

that it's very very difficult to

19:58

nail down every single pick because

20:00

teams do do a really good

20:02

job of setting out those. folks

20:04

grains. Hey folks, it's Mike Ryan

20:06

and if you're watching our show,

20:08

a body transformation and I gotta

tell you, Peloton has helped me

20:16

on my fitness journey. It got

20:18

the ball rolling for me because

20:20

I watched my wife on the

20:22

20:24

classes, she has her favorite instructors,

20:26

and I listen to the music,

20:28

20:30

me fired up, makes me want

20:32

to take part in this fitness

23:42

You're an idiot for dismissing how much

23:44

I've helped you. This is the Dunebatar

23:46

show with these two guards. Last year,

23:49

one of the big surprises was Michael

23:51

Pennix, I think. That was sort of

23:53

the story that resonated past the first

23:56

round. I'm like, wow, what are the

23:58

Falcons doing? That was so unexpected, do

24:00

you? have any like unexpected things that

24:02

you think could happen or predictions of

24:05

something that could be a little crazy

24:07

tonight? Yeah, no, it's a good question

24:09

because it is weird. This feels like

24:12

a weird draft and I say that

24:14

because you're right, like there's not. That

24:16

one coach said there's no Robert De

24:19

Niroz. He told me there's no Robert

24:21

De Niroz in this. There's no Shalomase.

24:23

I think we could probably update the

24:26

reference. Such an old coach. Such an

24:28

old coach that gave you that. I'm

24:30

so glad you said this because I

24:32

was on with Maggie Gray this morning

24:35

and she was like, hey I don't

24:37

want to do the source off thing

24:39

but I'm just I'm so interested in

24:42

who told you that. Her guest was

24:44

Nick Siriani, because, and I loved her

24:46

mindset on it. She's like, I can

24:49

see him and big dumb, and they're

24:51

talking good fellows, and like, oh yeah,

24:53

yeah, it's definitely a Robert DeNiro, MIA

24:56

class. Wow, I'm going older coach. It's

24:58

got to be like Sean Payton or,

25:00

you know, Pete Carroll, somebody who, like,

25:02

because Robert DeNiro hadn't been the thing

25:05

in Hollywood for 30 years. It's a

25:07

great observation by you because I thought

25:09

the same thing when I wrote it

25:12

down and when the coach was saying

25:14

it over the phone I'm like like,

25:16

I almost was like, wait, what do

25:19

you mean? Like, what do you mean?

25:21

Like, are we talking politics here? You

25:23

know, like, where are we going with

25:26

this? So yeah, we need to probably

25:28

get a little bit of an update

25:30

to some of these coaches and jams

25:32

on maybe the latest Oscar winners. That's

25:35

what they should be doing. So they

25:37

can make these comparisons better. So yeah,

25:39

I'm not expecting some wild thing in

25:42

comparison to what, Michael Panics to me

25:44

is, it'll go down for me as

25:46

one of my more memorable drafts. I

25:49

think it was that big of a

25:51

story. I am interested in the Jaguars.

25:53

They are a team, I just keep

25:56

hearing, are going to be electric is

25:58

what someone there told me. So I

26:00

don't. No, I can't define electric to

26:02

you right now. Put it on the

26:05

pole. Have the jags ever been electric

26:07

at Lebitard show? Diana, are there any

26:09

Adrian Brodies in this draft? And by

26:12

that, I mean, guy who's just gonna

26:14

get up there and piss us off.

26:16

Maybe, maybe I could see that happening

26:19

just to keep it interesting. This is

26:21

one of these, these nights where as

26:23

much homework as we're doing, as much

26:25

and as prepared as teams can be.

26:28

There's always something bizarre. Remember the COVID

26:30

draft. Don't know how weird that was?

26:32

It was great. Yeah. Trey Wingo did

26:35

one of the best hosting jobs I've

26:37

ever seen. It was actually refreshing how

26:39

good a piece of content that was

26:42

during that time. That was hard to

26:44

pull off. It was like very depressing.

26:46

That's all I remember. That was Gaddell

26:49

and his basement in that chair, right?

26:51

And then they brought the chair to

26:53

the draft the next year. I thought

26:55

it was a nice little departure from

26:58

that. Like it wasn't trying to remind

27:00

you too much even though the situation.

27:02

I thought it was like masterful television.

27:05

I remember them going through test runs

27:07

on it. Like they were nervous. Like

27:09

they did rehearsals. Like can we nail

27:12

Zoom. Remember that was like such a

27:14

concern like can we get the shot?

27:16

Fan's on Zoom was the thing I

27:19

remember is terribly sad. Like a hundred

27:21

screens of yes, Vrablechik's dog. Yeah, Velichik's

27:23

dog. That was a very memorable one.

27:25

What a time. Diana, you mentioned on

27:28

Scoop City last week about owners kind

27:30

of making a mess of things on

27:32

draft night kind of taking control and

27:35

meddling. Do you have like a great

27:37

example of that? They pay her cousins

27:39

all this money, and then they make

27:42

this random decision to just pick a

27:44

quarterback. That felt weird to me. That

27:46

doesn't seem like a Rahim Morris type

27:49

of move. Who's the owner most, I

27:51

mean, Jerry Jones most would suspect, but

27:53

who's the owner most likely to interfere

27:55

tonight and just topple all of his

27:58

people? Hmm, going through, gosh, I missed

28:00

Dan Snyder for this. That was, that

28:02

was, that's a layup answer. Um, you

28:05

know, just going through this with the

28:07

head coach recently, because I had a

28:09

broader conversation of how many owners you

28:12

think are involved in the pet, directly

28:14

involved, and his coach said, mm, 13

28:16

of 14. We actually went through every

28:19

team in football, and that that was

28:21

the number he came to, because I

28:23

would just name the team, he'd say,

28:25

yep, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope,

28:28

nope. So if I say 13 of

28:30

14 owners are involved in tonight's, your

28:32

reaction to that is what? It's a

28:35

lot. What about the one that's sitting

28:37

it out? What's his problem? His or

28:39

her problem? Deadbeat owner. Seriously. If I

28:42

own a team, I want my hands

28:44

on it. I would think that all

28:46

of them treated as a toy and

28:49

all of them love the idea of

28:51

overseeing a war room, of generals and

28:53

soldiers. you have the, you know, this

28:55

is what I think we need to

28:58

do. This is what I suggest. Or

29:00

I'm hearing the owner that will just

29:02

sit there and you can read his

29:05

body language. You know, you know, you

29:07

know what your boss wants, right? You

29:09

can tell just based on how they're

29:12

reacting to things. You have those types.

29:14

Then you have the, you know, this

29:16

is what I think we need to

29:18

do. This is what I suggest. Or

29:21

I'm hearing all of you. information you've

29:23

collected, recommendations, I think we need to

29:25

do this. To me, I want to

29:28

know, if there could be a camera

29:30

filming all of it tonight, I would

29:32

love to see, I hate to put

29:35

it back on them because they just

29:37

exposed themselves last year, I would love

29:39

the New York Giants. I want to

29:42

see if John Mera is going, are

29:44

you guys making a decision to throw

29:46

a hell Mary to save yourselves? Or

29:48

are you actually doing what's good for

29:51

the future of the New York Giants?

29:53

My vote would have been Woody Johnson's

29:55

kids would have been my vote. So,

29:58

Diana, I want to start at the

30:00

top of this. because we all know

30:02

Cam Wars going first, but we don't

30:05

know beyond that. And what I mean

30:07

is... Great college career set records in

30:09

one year in Miami, but luckiest man

30:12

on earth tonight because one year ago

30:14

he might have been the fourth or

30:16

fifth best quarterback. So he's gonna reap

30:18

their reward. But Mike Ryan's gonna get

30:21

emotional tonight. Mike Ryan, do you even

30:23

remember seeing a... Mike Ryan, do you

30:25

even remember seeing a University of Miami

30:28

player with the number one pick? But

30:30

Mike Ryan's gonna get emotional tonight. Mike

30:32

Ryan, do you even remember seeing a

30:35

montage? I'm gonna do the monty guy,

30:37

which is a... pretty prestigious program go

30:39

number one especially not a quarterback it's

30:42

gonna be pretty cool it's a big

30:44

deal but my question for Diana is

30:46

how good is camward really what do

30:48

you see the ceiling and floor on

30:51

his career she's very busy multitasking very

30:53

busy gathering information and giving information fighting

30:55

with George Kittle The Giants just traded

30:58

out of the first run. I got

31:00

you there, Diana. I used to be

31:02

a George Kittle guy until I saw

31:05

him go at you and now I'm

31:07

very confused. Thank you, Mike Ryan. Yes,

31:09

I reported yesterday that George Kittle wants

31:12

to be the highest paid tight end

31:14

in football, which. I think that's fair.

31:16

I think I get it. I think

31:18

we all get that right. No, I

31:21

understand. Diana, how good is now. She's

31:23

talking, you were being talked to privately

31:25

there, Greg. She was, Mike Ryan wasn't

31:28

talking on air. All that happened was

31:30

you cut her off in the air

31:32

room. That's all that happened in the

31:35

middle of the answer. You're confused by

31:37

the show that we're doing. Wait, so

31:39

Mike, Mike, would you like, Mike, Mike,

31:41

would you like to hear your answer?

31:44

You're George Kittle, your contract's up, you

31:46

want a new deal, you're going, hey,

31:48

I should probably be paying more than

31:51

Trey McBride. So, OTA started, and it's

31:53

important to note that George usually doesn't

31:55

attend OTA's, but from the teen's perspective,

31:58

from what I can gather, they didn't

32:00

know what he was going to do,

32:02

and when he didn't show up, they

32:05

realized that that that happened. has to

32:07

do with the negotiations. That has to

32:09

do with the contract. So when Kittle

32:11

responded, which by the way, I love

32:14

George Kittle, we get along great, I've

32:16

covered him for years, we have a

32:18

good reporter player relationship, when he tweeted

32:21

at me that my sources were wrong,

32:23

I'm like, oh boy, here we go.

32:25

Because I think sometimes what happens in

32:28

these negotiations, once you publicly say you

32:30

want to be the highest paid, or

32:32

at least it's reported that that that's

32:35

what you're looking for. that conversation was

32:37

already had with the team. And then

32:39

you don't get it. It's kind of

32:41

hard to recover from that. So I

32:44

think I think players, they don't like

32:46

to have that out there. Because then

32:48

if they cave, they don't want to

32:51

cave publicly. They kind of want to

32:53

just cave privately. I remember a few

32:55

years ago when I reported Aaron Rogers

32:58

wanted to make $50 million a year.

33:00

And he went on Pat McAfee and

33:02

he's like, this girl doesn't know what

33:05

she's talking about. That is not true.

33:07

This is all lies. Journalists are terrible.

33:09

She's dumb. Whatever, he said. Guess who

33:11

signed for $50 million two weeks later,

33:14

right? So some of it, it's just

33:16

not a good locker room look. How

33:18

often do you get shaky on that

33:21

stuff, Diana? Because I've seen your confidence

33:23

grow over the years. I would imagine

33:25

credibility stuff is wildly important to you.

33:28

When did you get confident enough that

33:30

a firm, loud, angry denial in public

33:32

didn't shake you on your information? Because

33:35

it doesn't matter if it's someone loud

33:37

or someone quiet, you know, saying I'm

33:39

wrong to me. I've consistently proven that

33:41

my information is right and it always

33:44

goes back to where you're getting your

33:46

information from. The firmer you can be,

33:48

I have found over the years, the

33:51

stronger the sources, right? Like if I

33:53

was getting it from an agent who's,

33:55

you know, they're known to lie or,

33:58

you know, a friend, like, you know,

34:00

those, I'm not going hard with that.

34:02

As you build your network of people

34:05

over the years and you know the

34:07

reliable ones, you can have... hard and

34:09

that's why I'm able to go and

34:11

say hey Aaron no no that's what

34:14

you want and that's what he got

34:16

because that's the truth right George kiddle

34:18

wants to be the highest paid tight

34:21

end I'm not saying it and going

34:23

against him even after he tweeted me

34:25

if I didn't have this very very

34:28

you know but very well-informed people but

34:30

it does stink because I do think

34:32

fans want to believe the players all

34:34

the time and it's I get it

34:37

so it's okay like I'm I'm not

34:39

trying to cause the drama it's just

34:41

the truth is the truth is the

34:44

truth is Ashton Gente the best running

34:46

back prospect since Saekwan Barkley and where

34:48

do you and Greg Cody have him

34:51

going for right now I I think

34:53

he's gonna wind up with the jags

34:55

and I do think he's the best

34:58

running back we've seen since Saekwan Barkley

35:00

I don't think he's better than Saekwan

35:02

Barkley I think he's the best running

35:04

back in this class for sure. I

35:07

did have a talent evaluator share with

35:09

me that you just have to always

35:11

keep in mind the weaknesses of these

35:14

classes, right? So sometimes these players are

35:16

going higher than they would in any

35:18

other class. As we've been talking, I

35:21

feel like pretty much this whole conversation

35:23

of this just is not a strong

35:25

talented class. So I think Gente is

35:28

a team to keep an eye on.

35:30

I think the Raiders. our team to

35:32

keep an eye on for him. That's

35:34

what Cody has. Cody has him going

35:37

number six to the Raiders. Yeah, I

35:39

also think if he falls to 12,

35:41

I think Dallas would love him. I

35:44

like the Raiders prediction there. If the

35:46

Raiders don't go running back, I could

35:48

see them going offensive line. I know

35:51

they've had some pretty serious conversations there

35:53

about what they want to do. And

35:55

there's been a lot of back and

35:58

forth on if they're going to go

36:00

running back or O line. So I

36:02

think if Genty's there. the chances of

36:04

them probably going with him are probably

36:07

pretty good. I did have a teen

36:09

text me this morning and I thought

36:11

it was a joke at first but

36:14

They asked me, have you heard if

36:16

the Giants were taking Gentsey at three?

36:18

Wow. I just, that's not happening. That

36:21

I just, the fact that someone even

36:23

questioned, like asked about it, I thought

36:25

was bizarre. Why would the Panthers text

36:28

you that? I've got a couple of

36:30

questions here before we get you out.

36:32

Did you see the movie draft day?

36:34

2014. I have not. Okay, so I

36:37

will now quiz Zazlow and Mike Ryan

36:39

who have seen the movie, uh, draft

36:41

day to see how good their memory

36:44

is from 10 years ago. Yes or

36:46

no, gentlemen. Mel Kiper was in that

36:48

movie. Yes or no? Yes, or no?

36:51

Yes. Bill Belichick, yes or no? No.

36:53

He is in the movie. Zaz is

36:55

taking that ass, by the way. Jerry

36:58

Jones, yes or no? Yes. He is

37:00

not in the movie. Uh, John Grudin,

37:02

yes or no? Yes. No. He is

37:04

in the movie. Roger Caddell, yes or

37:07

no? Yes. Dion Sanders, yes or no?

37:09

No. Yeah, no. He is in the

37:11

movie. I wasn't sure. Did you guys

37:14

watch the movie? I wasn't sure. Yeah.

37:16

Did he? Like 15 years ago. Yes.

37:18

Was did he in the movie? No.

37:21

Did he? Did he or didn't he?

37:23

He was? Not did he. He's the

37:25

agent to the quarterback. He did. Did

37:27

he was in the movie? That's regrettable.

37:30

I have not seen Diana, your mother's

37:32

character in a while around here. Your

37:34

mother was hassling you a lot when

37:37

you would impersonate her about being single

37:39

and dating. Has she stopped all of

37:41

that now that you are a happily

37:44

married mother with children? I have not

37:46

seen or heard from your mother in

37:48

a while or the impersonation of your

37:51

mother. Yeah, I actually did it recently

37:53

because they took a trip to Florida.

37:55

My parents don't like to leave their

37:57

house ever, unless it's to help me

38:00

out with the kids and my siblings

38:02

with their kids. They're just home bodies,

38:04

but yet they wonder why they're depressed

38:07

and are cold all the time because

38:09

it's freezing in New Jersey and the

38:11

winter's been long. they finally were able

38:14

to get to Florida. And I thought

38:16

it would be nice to upgrade my

38:18

mom and dad, just like a gift.

38:21

They've never flown first class. They're 70

38:23

years old. And just the text my

38:25

mom was sending from when she got

38:27

on the plane, you just can't make

38:30

this up. I mean, she's like, you

38:32

know, going through it all, because again,

38:34

the experience is very different. If you've

38:37

never done it, it is, it's a

38:39

wonderful experience if you don't know. So

38:41

she's like, Diana, they're giving me champagne.

38:44

I think they think I'm the queen.

38:46

They gave me a blanket. Your father

38:48

gave me his too. It's cold, but

38:51

this is really wonderful. Just the whole

38:53

thing. And by the way, she got

38:55

to Florida. and all they did was

38:57

complain about Florida the whole time anyway

39:00

so she's the same so the latest

39:02

issue she has with me Dan is

39:04

I'm not doing a good enough job

39:07

mothering because of the draft So she's

39:09

been at the house a lot and

39:11

she sees me on the phone. And

39:14

so, you know, just the Italian Catholic

39:16

guilt is on full throttle right now

39:18

that I'm missing Mikey and Joey up

39:21

because when I'm on the, when I'm

39:23

pushing the swing, I have the phone

39:25

in my left hand, I'm using the

39:27

speaker phone or I'm texting and she

39:30

thinks that that's going to affect them

39:32

later in life because they're always going

39:34

to remember. I only had one hand

39:37

on the swing. Instead of two like

39:39

all the other mothers that went to

39:41

school with Diana is your mother Marissa

39:44

to me sounds a lot like her

39:46

can you give us the impersonation of

39:48

hearing her while you're doing your job?

39:50

Can we hear what your soundtrack is

39:53

you're swinging the swing set you're clearly

39:55

talking to Doug Peterson and you are

39:57

not mothering the way you should I

40:00

hope I'm not talking to Doug Peterson,

40:02

but Doug's not going to help me

40:04

right now. All right, you're talking to

40:07

Ken Wisen hut So this is, she's

40:09

queen of this, she unders, there's like

40:11

a very universal language in my house,

40:14

the phones on my ear, it's probably

40:16

business. Like I'm not just on the

40:18

phone with, with Cassidy Hubbard, right? Like,

40:20

we're busy. So, she'll go, Diana, the

40:23

boys are hungry. Does Joey want a

40:25

hot dog? Oh yeah, you're on the

40:27

phone. Who are you on the phone

40:30

with? Who are you talking? Are you

40:32

done? Do you want me to do

40:34

the hot dog? Mom, just give me,

40:37

this breaking news, breaking news, what happened?

40:39

What happened? Should I tell your father?

40:41

Are you on the fan? Are you

40:44

on the fan right now? Did Mike

40:46

Greenberg call you yet? All those years?

40:48

And now you write? Who reads that?

40:50

Why did he take a job at

40:53

the Atlantic? Mom, I work at the

40:55

athletic? What? You on YouTube? Daddy, Daddy

40:57

says you're doing a live show on

41:00

the draft. Wick, is it channel 7?

41:02

You know those those girls on eyewitness

41:04

news? They look good. Their mothers, they

41:07

look good though. It's nice seeing you,

41:09

Diana. It's a crazy day for you.

41:11

Is this the craziest day? Like number

41:14

one, Diana Rusini crazy day and football

41:16

is blank. Free agency. This is fun.

41:18

This is great. You can't do anything

41:20

here. We're just collecting information, talking about

41:23

it, gossiping all day. Free agency is

41:25

way harder and crazier. Nice to see

41:27
