1:08

Shine, is he in process when it

1:10

comes to getting the ninth caller?

1:12

He sure is, Greg. I'm gonna

1:14

do that all week, because I have a

1:16

pair of tickets I could give away every single

1:18

day. So just a heads up, if

1:20

you listen to the show on the reg, whenever

1:23

you hear Shine...

1:25

come back from a commercial, rejoin

1:27

with an ACDC song this week.

1:29

Just be the ninth caller, and

1:32

I will get you tickets for Gillette

1:34

Stadium. That's pretty big right there. ACDC. Seems

1:36

like Gillette, I don't know, maybe it's

1:38

just my interest. They have, they have a

1:40

lot of good concerts this summer. Fenway

1:43

Park, not really that exciting to me.

1:45

Fenway Park's got Chris Brown. That's a good

1:47

one. What I just said, not that

1:49

exciting. Forever by Chris Brown is an all

1:51

-time banger. Is the Post Malone show, is that

1:53

it? Fenway or is that Gillette? Oh, OK. Yeah, I want

1:55

to go to that one. Kendrick Lamar is at

1:57

Gillette too, right? Yeah, so

1:59

not too many that are

2:01

of interest to me. This

2:04

is Mike from Florida.

2:06

Hello, Mike. Hey

2:09

guys, how are we doing? Happy Monday. Yeah, what's

2:11

up? What are you calling about? I

2:14

know it was something that you guys

2:16

were talking about a little earlier with

2:18

Shador, but I wanted to kind of

2:20

throw my my thoughts in again, you

2:23

know, just when Wiggy was talking about,

2:25

you know, maybe the NFL doesn't understand

2:27

the culture and then, you know, the

2:29

people that are obviously the people that

2:31

are hating on him, like and having

2:33

like enjoying it and enjoying the prank

2:35

phone call. Those are just, you know,

2:37

the typical troll type, you know morons

2:39

that exist in the society we live

2:42

in. You know, he's going

2:44

to have to deal with that for the rest of his life, no matter

2:46

what. But in regards to the

2:48

culture thing, you make a,

2:50

you know, a good argument because

2:52

obviously the NHL is run by, you

2:54

know, mostly old white dudes, and

2:56

they don't understand it. And that's normal.

2:58

It's okay. They don't understand it because it's

3:00

not their culture. But, you

3:03

know, that culture argument gets made. And

3:05

I don't always like it in

3:07

other scenarios where you've got somebody

3:09

that's from the South. and

3:11

maybe they've got a picture on their

3:13

instagram and they've got a confederate

3:16

flag in the background and the people

3:18

from the south will say well

3:20

that's our culture and other people say

3:22

well that's racist well then they'll

3:24

say well no it's not it's it's

3:26

our heritage and we're just proud

3:28

of our heritage and it's our culture

3:30

so regardless of whether it's culture

3:32

or whatever it is it's the way that

3:34

the league perceives things like that and

3:36

that's not going to change. It has nothing

3:38

to do with hatred. It just has

3:40

to do with, okay, we're picking all the

3:42

variables from Shendor Sanders and saying, okay, here's

3:45

the talent. Here's all these

3:47

other things. Are all these other things?

3:49

is the talent worth all these other things

3:51

that you have to deal with, you know, and

3:53

they're not gonna, they're not gonna side with

3:55

a guy that has all the other things that

3:57

you guys talked about earlier in the show. Yeah,

4:00

I think Wiggy, you know, hit

4:02

the nail on the head this morning

4:04

when it comes to talent. I

4:06

think that they didn't see the talent

4:08

there. And then you have to,

4:10

all this other stuff comes along. And

4:12

it would go the other way

4:14

too. Like, let's say for example, Uh,

4:17

who was that they believe

4:19

was Quinn yours, right? He dropped

4:21

precipitously, right, right? But let's

4:23

say Quinn yours was in a

4:26

similar situation as should or

4:28

Sanders and had Confederate flags draped

4:30

all through his crib next

4:32

to bore heads and dead heads

4:34

and moose heads like there

4:36

would be owners that would and

4:39

people in the football world

4:41

That would look at that and

4:43

go In a second there's

4:45

a little This is a

4:47

little, this is different, even though he

4:49

might believe it's his culture. And

4:52

granted, the two cultures are different.

4:54

One's hip -hop music and rap culture

4:56

that is just music based on people's

4:58

environment and how they grew up.

5:00

I would really hope that nobody now

5:02

with the age of 20 has

5:05

a Confederate flag. Right, where the Confederate

5:07

flag needs something completely different. Yeah,

5:09

so it's like the culture of what,

5:12

when I say that, because I've

5:14

been around and I know how

5:16

like, coaches and GM's and Courtney

5:18

and I were talking about it.

5:20

Like they did it with Cam

5:22

Newton. Cam Newton's pre draft interview

5:24

with the owner at the time,

5:26

Jerry Richardson asked them, you got

5:28

any tattoos of persons and Cam

5:30

was like, no. And he said,

5:32

keep it that way. So it's

5:34

like even people with tattoos, like

5:36

they're, they're, if you don't understand

5:39

that culture of where that person's

5:41

from, you can kind of start

5:43

relating the negative part of it

5:45

with the person who just enjoys

5:47

the music or might be from

5:49

there. But can't you just, if

5:51

you're an NFL executive, can't you

5:53

look at Shador Sanders and say, the

5:56

talent, I don't believe the talent is

5:58

going to translate. Right. And

6:00

he's kind of a dink.

6:02

Like, and it can have

6:04

nothing to do with his

6:06

culture. It has to do

6:08

with his character. But yeah, but you can

6:10

say that to a certain extent, which

6:12

would, like Shyam said, drop him out of

6:15

the first round and maybe into the

6:17

second round or the top of the third

6:19

round. But when you have guys going

6:21

in the second and third round like Dylan

6:23

Gabriel or the kid from Louisville. I

6:25

mean Ryan Leaf was as big of an

6:27

a -hole as could ever exist and he

6:29

went second. Right. But he didn't have

6:31

like he didn't have the the baggage of

6:33

his father like I think that that.

6:36

No he had a baggage of drug abuse.

6:38

Yeah but what's the doubt? The way

6:40

they knew that Curtis. Well but I mean

6:42

he didn't interview well because he was

6:44

I mean he was a total disaster in

6:46

that process. Yeah but but they like.

6:48

What's the baggage of Dion? So he just

6:50

put his he just retired his kids

6:52

number when he was 500 as a quarterback

6:54

less than 500. All right. Like I

6:57

like you know that he's going to be

6:59

involved in the whole entire process when

7:01

it comes to the whatever team his kid

7:03

is on full -time employee of Colorado. He's

7:05

catching his own team. You don't think

7:07

he's going to start interfering and saying things

7:09

if If he doesn't feel like the

7:11

team is treating his son right what he's

7:13

gonna be talking about it publicly the

7:15

whole entire time The fan base the fan

7:18

base of whatever team he's drafted is

7:20

not gonna side with Dion. They're gonna call

7:22

him an a -hole What's what's the mannings

7:24

were drafted Arch Manning disappears like that's

7:26

kind of how it works Manning is nowhere

7:28

near the same as neon Dion Sanders

7:30

They put their kids in a position where

7:32

they get drafted high because that's what

7:34

they want to do They want to help

7:36

their kids succeed and then what's the

7:39

NFL? It's up to them whether they Float

7:41

or drown along the way of making

7:43

sure that your son succeeds You need to

7:45

teach him how to how to be

7:47

humble to an extent like that's the issue

7:49

that I have It's it's the way

7:51

in which he talks about who he is,

7:53

right? And I think that there is

7:55

a difference between being confident and cocky and

7:57

he's coming off extremely cocky there are

8:00

other people like Baker Mayfield was one of

8:02

the cockiest players out there. So is

8:04

how that played out Johnny man. a success

8:06

And if you want to like five

8:08

different code If you want a new character,

8:10

what about Eli's older brother Peyton? Look

8:12

at what he did with the freaking trainer

8:14

in Tennessee And Johnny Manziel is another

8:16

one who had a bunch of characteristics and

8:18

he went first round And it was

8:21

an absolute failure, but but we're not talking

8:23

about whether or not it was a

8:25

success or a failure We're talking about those

8:27

guys still went first round like there

8:29

Yeah, and now it's years later and these

8:31

teams are looking and saying we've had

8:33

headaches in the past. Some people have not

8:35

panned out. So maybe we need to

8:37

take a better look at who this person

8:39

is and the way they conduct themselves. They

8:43

went Zach Wilson number two overall

8:46

a couple years ago. So

8:48

he had issues. What did he do? All he

8:50

did was smash one of his mother's friends. Like what's

8:52

wrong with that? But like Shadr doesn't even have

8:54

any off -field issues. He just cocked

8:56

it. That's literally it. But we're not saying

8:58

he has any off -field issues. We're saying that

9:00

the way in which he conducts himself is

9:02

off -putting, I'm sure, to an owner who

9:04

wants, who is going to spend millions and

9:06

millions of dollars on this person being their

9:08

future. If he's going into interviews with his

9:10

headphones in, if he's not showing up to

9:12

inter - views. If he's telling teens he's better

9:14

than them. Bring it like,

9:17

Shym, how would you feel about

9:19

somebody applying for a producer role

9:21

here who has an entourage of

9:23

15 people with him? Well, has

9:25

he spent four years in college

9:27

radio kicking ass or having tape

9:29

to prove it? But I really

9:31

think Baker Mayfield is the best

9:33

example of this because he was

9:35

a total dink right and he

9:37

didn't drop it all right you

9:39

had higher picking the draft they

9:41

thought he was going to go

9:43

like tenth he went number one

9:45

right and the patriots were picking

9:47

up the phone calling to see

9:49

if they could trade up to

9:51

number two johnny manzell the same

9:53

way all i'm saying is shidore

9:55

has done enough on the football

9:57

field he's he's a career average

9:59

of 71 percent and completion percent

10:01

on the football field whether you

10:03

think that maybe his talent is

10:05

not great, OK, we can dispute

10:07

that. But there's no way you

10:09

go from being a projected top

10:11

five, top 10, top 20 pick

10:13

a fifth round There way. You

10:15

just saw it this week. But

10:17

there's some shenanigans involved. shenanigans. Okay.

10:20

All right, we have got to take a break. I'm

10:22

sorry. We're just a little bit behind. We'll be

10:24

right back.
