AJ Pierzynski
Now let's get this punch.
- [02:26]
Colin Cowherd
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. All right, welcome in hour two. It is Wednesday. JMAC and I are off tomorrow and Friday we're going to let everybody watch the NCAA tournament games. March Madness. A lot of fun. We go. We are going bracket for bracket. He's got Duke flying through. Keep your eye, I say on Rick Patino and more experienced teams. The SEC was however, unbelievable this year. And 14 teams in. I have Tennessee and Auburn getting in. Not that anybody cares. You're going with traditional Duke, which very young. Remember we've seen these great young Duke teams with young star players and they don't win the tournament.
- [03:04]
AJ Pierzynski
Keep doubting. My man Cooper flag.
- [03:06]
Colin Cowherd
He's good. I like.
- [03:07]
AJ Pierzynski
Who you got tonight, Xavier or Texas? That's going to be a good game.
- [03:10]
Colin Cowherd
Texas.
- [03:11]
AJ Pierzynski
Okay, I got, I got Xavier. We'll go head to head again because we love going toe to toe.
- [03:15]
Colin Cowherd
Here we go. So I, I will say this before I get to our guest. What a start to the baseball season for the Dodgers and Shohei. I'll get to that in a couple minutes. But I saw a story this morning. If the New York Giants don't land Aaron Rodgers, then what? Well, then nothing. They'll be drafting at the top of next year's draft too. Is something is happening in the NFL? I do not think it's a good thing. It feels very much like the NBA and I don't think it's a good thing. Is that because the league is so quarterback reliant? The rules are now all to protect the quarterback that if you don't have a great one, you're not viable. Like by mid October you're unwatchable. Last year we had 10 teams. That's a third of the league. This is very NBA. 10 teams with five or fewer wins. Last year that's tied for the most since they expanded to 16 plus games. So. And we talked about this last year is I found myself by, by mid to late October last year there were seven or eight teams. I would have rather, you know, called a friend than have watched them. You gave me, you gave me Tennessee and Carolina last year. Not interested. So. And that I, I don't remember ever being a year like that. So we are a month away from the draft. I could tell you right now who's going to be at the top of the following draft. It's going to be the Giants and the Jets. It's going to be New Orleans. It's going to be Cleveland. Keep your eye on Jacksonville. So I don't think it's a great thing. That's why I say I root for Shador Sanders and Cam Ward and Jalen Melro and I root for all these kids to hit. First of all, it's, it's, you know, you don't want to root against people in life. I want all these young quarterbacks to hit because the quality of the game is better. Just, it's more fun to watch great teams. Cubs are a good team. Dodgers are a great team. That's why I set my alarm for 3:45 in the morning. And with that, A.J. persinski, 19 years in major League Baseball, Fox baseball analyst, is joining us. Listen, you know, it's funny I said this last year. There you go, baby.
- [05:15]
Unnamed Guest
Before you get started, wait, you picked the wrong team, Colin. You picked the wrong team in that bracket.
- [05:20]
Colin Cowherd
That's what I hear. That's what I hear. You know, I noticed this in the World Series last year when Garrett Cole wasn't pitching for the Yankees. AJ The Dodgers looked so much better and deeper and more athletic. The Cubs are a good team, but I mean, we don't have Betts planned, we don't have Freddy planned, we don't have Shohei pitching. When you're calling these games, I mean even the relievers for the Dodgers, these are big men, hundred mile an hour. Does it feel like when you're watching it As a former 19 year veteran, we're just watching an all time great Dodger lineup?
- [06:02]
Unnamed Guest
It could be. It could be. Listen, forget the lineup. Let's talk about their pitching staff. We saw their 3 and 4 pitch in. Sasaki and Yamamoto would be 1 and 2 on any other team. We didn't see Snell and Glass. Now we forgot about them. They were on vacation in Tokyo for the last week. Right. I mean we saw basically their threes and fours with the stuff they had. And they went out and got Tanner Scott, the best reliever on the market, Kirby Yates, who was unbelievable all star last year for Texas. And they still have Blake Trine and Evan Phillips, Michael Kopeck, Vessia Bonda, all these guys that helped them win a World Series last year. This team is ridiculously loaded. They have the deepest team in baseball. I don't want to hear about, oh, the Yankees just. And the Cubs are a good team. They're not a great team. They're flawed. They have some holes that we that were exposed. Their bullpen, their back end is what the Dodgers do. But this is what Dodgers do to everybody. They pitch, count them, they worry you down until they get into your bullpen and you make a mistake and they score runs.
- [06:54]
Colin Cowherd
Yep.
- [06:55]
Unnamed Guest
Yes. Freddie and Mookie weren't there, but there's lineup is still ridiculous.
- [06:58]
Colin Cowherd
Yeah, no, that, that's what they do. They, they wear you down, they get to your bullpen and then you, you throw up a middle reliever against, you know, that lineup in your Game one. So. Oh, here, listen. We know Ohtani's great. That, that goes without saying. I think an underrated part of him is his speed. You know, I mean, I mean, the guy is, there's a lot of guys you played with guys that could run. It doesn't mean they were great base stealers. There's an art to it. And that AJ that tells me that beyond being talented, he's a grinder, he's watching film. I mean, I, I, that's what impresses me. Beyond just that all you guys are great talent. What, what blows you away with Ohtani?
- [07:38]
Unnamed Guest
Well, first of all, size. I don't think people realize how big Shohei is until you stand next to him. I'm 64250 and he's way larger than I am in person. That's what I think people don't realize. And then it's like five steps. Count the steps. I know it's like more than five, but it seems like he takes five steps. He's a second base sliding. His speed is because he's quick, he's big, and it takes him less steps than the average human to get there. But he also gets great jumps. And don't forget Dave Roberts is his manager. Dave Roberts stole a pretty large bag in his day against the Yankees in a 2004 playoff game where they went on to win the World Series. So Dave Robertson's what he's doing. This coaching staff knows how to maximize everything he does. And he's just an unbelievable talent, something that we'll probably, I don't know if we'll ever see what he can do again.
- [08:23]
Colin Cowherd
You know, I was thinking about this. You know, you look at the, I mean, because since the Dodgers started, they got new ownership, they got a lot of money. But in that time, the Nationals, the Royals have won a World Series. So it's very possible. Like, this doesn't guarantee anything in baseball. There's injuries. If there's anything about the Dodgers that would worry me. And this is for all athletes. All athletes now make so much money, social media, salary shoes, whatever. And that can sometimes, you know, grow some ego. Is that the, I look at the Dodgers starting staff and there are guys that would get 25 starts for every other team. They might get 17. And, and there's also guys that could bat third on teams that may bat sixth. Do you worry a little bit about having to kind of Dave Roberts kind of walk on eggshells a little bit on a nightly basis with the order and the staff?
- [09:16]
Unnamed Guest
No. I was in their camp last week, and they are the most selfless team I've ever been around. I played with Freddie, I played with Mookie. I played with a lot of these guys. Some of these guys, not a lot of them, but I played with them, the superstars, and they just want to win. That's the biggest thing. You talk to Max Muncie, you talk to Freddie, you talk to Mookie, you talk to Will Smith, you talk to these guys. All they want to do is win. TE Oscar Hernandez is all about winning. He came back to the Dodgers again, took less money because he wants to win. The starters, they just want to be ready for October, whether it's Blake Snell, whether it's Tyler Glass now, whether whoever it is, Yamamoto Sasaki, they just want to be ready for the postseason because they want to do what we're showing right now, which is jump up and down and celebrate another World Series. Can another team win it?
- [09:58]
Colin Cowherd
Absolutely.
- [09:58]
Unnamed Guest
Listen, their division, Arizona is a really good team. I don't think people talk about them enough. And they're the last team to beat the Dodgers in the postseason. Yeah, the Phillies are really good. The Mets reloaded. Right. The Braves, if they have Strider and Sale, that's a pretty good one, two punch. You can shut down anybody. The National League, I believe, is way better than the American League as we saw last year. If you get through the National League postseason, you have a great shot to win the World Series if you can get through it.
- [10:21]
Colin Cowherd
Well, Adam Wainwright brought up this point yesterday, and I thought it was a good one. He said, listen, if I was Soto, I would just stayed on the American League side. Yes. What's the point of going facing the Braves and the Dodgers? And I listen, I'm never going to tell an athlete to take less. Were you surprised that he goes to the much tougher? It's like going. It's like choosing, trying to get out of the SEC compared to the Big 12. Were you surprised by it?
- [10:45]
Unnamed Guest
No, because they gave. Well, he said they didn't give him the most money, but it seemed like it's where he wanted to go. Even last year heard Aaron Judge said, oh, he ended up where he wanted to. Well, guess what? He's where he wants to be. And now he can kind of form a new legacy because the Yankees have their players, they have their Guys that are set in situations. Aaron Judge is the captain. Well, now he goes to New York, the other side of town, into the Mets in Citi Field. And he can be the guy. He can be the man. Yes. Lynn Dorser. Yes. Alonzo's there. But Juan Soto's there for 15 years and $765 million. So he's going to have to be the man. And that's what he wanted. Now he gets to prove it. Will he? We'll see. But boy, I would like to have 765 million reasons why.
- [11:24]
Colin Cowherd
Yeah. A.J. persinski, he is like a good dad. He's leaving our show in two minutes to go watch his kid. You're coaching him is what you told me.
- [11:36]
Unnamed Guest
No, no, gosh, no. I used to coach. I had to quit because. Listen, Colin, as a dad and a coach, it doesn't work very well because sometimes I love my kid to death. But we just, we disagree a little bit on certain things and understandable. It's been a much better relationship since I walked away.
- [11:50]
Colin Cowherd
Hey, man, we always appreciate you having you on the show. It's going to be a great year of baseball. I've been getting up in the morning and they've been wildly entertaining. I appreciate you stopping by.
- [12:00]
Unnamed Guest
No problem. And by the way, Go Gators.
- [12:02]
Colin Cowherd
There you go. Gainesville's best. Go Gator. A.J. brzezinski, Fox Sports. Yeah, those games are entertaining. It is crazy though, that you, you have. I was reading this today. There are four starters for the Dodgers that could be aces on about half the teams in baseball. Three MVP caliber players. Like we're watching history. How about that? When that Shohei came out of the outfield and the cameras on that stuff. Every time I watch that Tokyo Dome, it looks like the stadium I went to as a kid, which was the Kingdome. So I can literally see it in my head. A guy named Bill Leisure picked me up at my house. We got lost on the way there. We showed up and the game was starting in like 10 minutes. It was the first game ever at the Kingdome. And I sat in right field and Joe Rudy hit a home run basically in my seat in the left field for the Angels. But what was remarkable about this, all the pressure on Ohtani and he was both games money.
- [13:01]
AJ Pierzynski
The only guy I can think of with your greatest athlete ever rant earlier is like the Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders guys who played two sports like Michael Jordan traded pride baseball. He just couldn't do it. Ohtani is doing pitching, hitting Deion Sanders did football, baseball, Bo Jackson, you know, both. I think Ohtani's in that class. Like, he's that dominant man.
- [13:20]
Colin Cowherd
Well, again, Babe Ruth was a power pitcher and a power hitter. Ohtani can hit for average, and Ohtani will steal 50 bases.
- [13:28]
AJ Pierzynski
How many steals for Babe Ruth in his career?
- [13:31]
Colin Cowherd
Come on. Yeah, it's. I mean, I know I'm talking a lot about baseball and colony. Well, why baseball? We're watching history. We are watching a team when you're as deep as the Dodgers, you know, and, and you, you can just rest, guys. You can. Guy has a little tweak in his shoulder, we'll see in three weeks. That's, that's.
- [13:51]
AJ Pierzynski
What do you feel more confident about, the Dodgers in the World Series or the Lakers in the NBA Finals?
- [13:57]
Colin Cowherd
Oh, Dodgers in the World Series. The Lakers have something though, now. And I never said LeBron didn't tweak his groin against Boston. He did, but it was very clear. I'm going back to LA. Like, I think LeBron win a state.
- [14:11]
AJ Pierzynski
Championship, which is understandable. I do the same.
- [14:13]
Colin Cowherd
Yeah, LeBron knows his body. But what the Lakers have, and that's why it was encouraging last night, how the warriors won, is the Lakers now have three elite initiators of offense. And what you're seeing now, Lucas said it last night, like, you guys are not paying attention to Austin reeves. This guy's dropping 30 in the NBA. So, you know, maybe I was a little hard on him.
- [14:35]
AJ Pierzynski
Yeah, Coming around that old Austin Reeves, maybe you can get him on the show. You know, I don't think he's emerging as like a kind of a. He's got a cult following in LA out here. I'll be serious. Well, people love Austin Reeves.
- [14:46]
Colin Cowherd
It's never been a question whether he can initiate offense and be a score. I mean, I've said if he's your fourth best player, like Derrick White is the Celtics fourth best player, that's a championship team. I think Austin's. They're clearly their third, Ruiz their four. But what you're seeing now is it. It really frees up Luca and LeBron to take a night off, take a position, take a possession off it. Austin gives them. And you know, this is. These. LeBron's got a lot of wear on those tires. And for LeBron to know I can hit the bench. And we still have Luka and Austin initiating offense. If you don't think about this so much of this league, this is why Jimmy Butler, so valuable, is getting to the free throw line. Giannis gets there, but can't hit the free throws. Austin can. So much of playoff basketball is getting the whistle, getting to the line, getting people in foul trouble. Austin, Luke and LeBron are all great at that.
- [15:39]
AJ Pierzynski
It's a tough comp for Austin Reeves, like, historically, like, who is he? Like, I mean, I keep coming back to Larry Bird, but that might be a little rich for Austin Reeves. It's tough. Like, he's six, seven, great handle, gets to the line. Like you said, he's not an amazing defender, but he's a good defender. He's solid.
- [15:54]
Colin Cowherd
I don't think. I don't know what his comp is. I, you know, I don't know what his comp is. I. Not off the top of my head, but I, But I know this. He is good with contact. Winning player, you know, the winning player. And you know, there's the old saying about. They'll talk about wide receivers. Anquan Bolden was the first receiver. People talked about this. He could catch in traffic. You know, just. Anquan was just like, box you out. If you threw the ball up to Anquan Bolden, he just catches the ball. D hopped us some of this. They can just catch it. Puka's got some of this. And that's Austin Reeves. He's very good in conflict. He's very good when he's hit. A lot of guys hit their shot. Discombined. SGA is very good at this. Can get a really quality shot off balance after contact. That's Austin.
- [16:41]
AJ Pierzynski
I'll never forget, he was in the NCAA tournament in Oklahoma. And they played a loaded Gonzaga team. And you can look it up on YouTube. He was the best player on the court. And that Gonzaga team was stacked. And Austin Reeves went for like 28. Nobody could guard him. And I was like, that guy's a. That's a first round pick. He's really good. And, and since then, Austin. What a fine by Rob Polinka and the Lakers, man, he is. He's a joy to watch.
- [17:03]
Colin Cowherd
Well, Rob takes swings. The Westbrook thing didn't work. The Luca thing obviously did, but I mean, it. It's. It's unlike the Cowboy because I've said the Lakers and the Cowboys can be a bit insular. They can be a bit like family business. The difference is the Cowboys haven't drafted very well outside of their first pick. The Lakers have found some guys, they've done a pretty good job on trades. Again, the Westbrook thing was a swing. It didn't work a lot.
- [17:33]
AJ Pierzynski
A lot of that was on Lebron let's be real. LeBron pushed for Westbrook. We get that. You know, you're not gonna bat a thousand picking up free agents. I mean, he hit on Kevin Love, you know, like, he's done a really good job. This one did that didn't work out, but they're fine.

Ed Helms
Prohibition. It's no secret that banning alcohol didn't stop people from living it up in the 1920s.
- [19:42]
Colin Cowherd
When we're five years into prohibition, the government is starting to go, okay, this isn't working.
- [19:48]
Ed Helms
In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast, SNAFU, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula Six. Because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers due to poisoned liquor and all along, an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it.
- [20:14]
AJ Pierzynski
They were like superhero crusaders turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't fair, and was corrupt.
- [20:22]
Ed Helms
So how did prohibition's war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people? To find out, listen and subscribe to snafu on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
- [20:40]
Colin Cowherd
Jaylen Milro. I think that's the fastest 40 time ever for a quarterback. I'm just, you know, throwing that out there. 4, 3, 7 at the Alabama Pro day. And, and, but I, we. You and I got into this discussion. One of the things I didn't like about Will Levis was he was ripped. Brady Quinn came out, he was jacked. I want fluidity with my quarterback. Tom Brady talks about this plyometrics. I don't want. I want some pudding. You're going to get hit. I don't want some guy that's on the Internet showing me his abs. That's not what quarterback is.
- [21:15]
AJ Pierzynski
Is 437. Isn't that mobile and pliable?
- [21:18]
Colin Cowherd
Like, that's fast. Yeah, that's fast.
- [21:21]
AJ Pierzynski
So you're putting Milro in the Will Levis territory or.
- [21:24]
Colin Cowherd
No, no, no. What I. Well, a little bit where like athlete, gun show, big arm, wildly inconsistent. Like, like Kalyn DeBoer is a good offensive coach. Like, they were really frustrated. Alabama's got really good O lines and wide receivers and tight ends.
- [21:42]
AJ Pierzynski
Look at the traps on this guy. Come on.
- [21:44]
Colin Cowherd
I'm not denying it. But quarterback, again, I, I'm not saying that he can't play some, but Anthony Richardson blew everybody away. Will Levis blew everybody away. Let's go to the best body the last 10 years at quarterback. Did Peyton Manning have one? Did Mahomes have one? Did Josh Allen have one? Did Lamar. Lamar came into the league. He was so skinny. And so. I'm not saying it. I'm just saying it's a quality that it doesn't matter. I am looking for fluidity, movement.
- [22:15]
AJ Pierzynski
That looks fluid in the pocket there, Colin.
- [22:17]
Colin Cowherd
No, I watched him play 10 times. He's mechanical now again. Jaden Daniels, by the way, fluid thin. I mean, Caleb Williams is strong. He's not ripped.
- [22:31]
AJ Pierzynski
You know, you said Lamar Jackson and it just clicked. That's probably his comp coming out. Not current Lamar, because remember, coming out, Lamar fell to the end of the first round. He didn't go until the very. I think the Ravens had to trade into the back of the first round to get him. That's probably the best comp for Milroe. Then the question is, Colin, do you build an offense around his skill set? And that's what Baltimore did. They said, hey, we're going to run the pistol.
- [22:54]
Colin Cowherd
Yeah.
- [22:54]
AJ Pierzynski
But it worked.
- [22:56]
Colin Cowherd
Lamar is one of the greatest now.
- [23:00]
AJ Pierzynski
He is. But he wasn't coming out well.
- [23:03]
Colin Cowherd
He was. He started week 11 his rookie year. He was excellent day one. By year two, he was better in the pocket. By year three, he was great in the pocket.
- [23:10]
AJ Pierzynski
Why couldn't Milro be that with the right offensive?
- [23:13]
Colin Cowherd
Because Lamar was never mechanical. Will Levis is mechanical. Jalen's mechanical. It doesn't look in fact, one of my knocks on Bo Nicks is that he's so jacked up. I wish Bo was a little more fluid. He when I seen Bo Nix up close on the sideline in Oregon, when you can see the gun show like he's ripped and I, I think what, you know, they always talk about this with cornerbacks. You need hips. It's all about the hips. I just think being ripped, I would take much less of that. I mean, I remember when Brady Quinn came out. I mean Brady is still, you know, kind of a jacked up guy, but he wasn't a. It wasn't real fluid and pliable.
- [23:54]
AJ Pierzynski
Interesting. I by the way, Lamar last two.
- [23:58]
Colin Cowherd
Years in college had almost 60 touchdown passes with Louisville talent. Milroe had 39 with Bama Town.
- [24:05]
AJ Pierzynski
Wait a minute, Milro said they had the change of coaches. Sabin to your guy.
- [24:09]
Colin Cowherd
Couple of stiffs and you're in the.
- [24:10]
AJ Pierzynski
SEC as opposed to the acc. Let's drill down on those numbers and see who Lamar was torching the Georgia.
- [24:16]
Colin Cowherd
Lamar wasn't playing with five star players and Lamar almost averaged 30 touchdown passes a year and he was unbelievable running.
- [24:24]
AJ Pierzynski
Do we have Lamar's 40 time at the combine or I don't remember. I bet you it's similar to this. I bet you it's in the well.
- [24:30]
Colin Cowherd
Steve Keim, who was an NFL GM for 10 years, is now the GM of clutch sports football a couple of weeks ago. He likes Melro a lot. Here's what he sees. I haven't seen many guys that can throw the football like him that have that kind of speed and explosiveness for a quarter back. At 225 pounds, he's probably a sub 44 guy. He's a tremendous runner with the football in his hands and he's got the size and explosiveness that's rare and off the charts. I think he's going to be a guy that under the right tutelage and the right coaching, I think he's going to develop into a great pro. Okay. So again, that's my take. He needs the fit. He's. He's not a natural. He's a great athlete and a great kid. Great parents. Like, everybody loves him. But I watched him play a ton and I think Bama fan would tell you this. It doesn't look natural.
- [25:14]
AJ Pierzynski
It's just not. Yeah.
- [25:14]
Colin Cowherd
Okay. It just, it's kind of. It's like I always say with Will Levis. Even now, Will Levis, it just looks clunky.
- [25:20]
AJ Pierzynski
Right. So a couple things. So Brear said the Pittsburgh Steelers would be a fit, and I totally disagree.
- [25:25]
Colin Cowherd
You and I are on the same way.
- [25:27]
AJ Pierzynski
You're my guy. But that's not. I don't believe that. Regarding fit. Remember Patrick Mahomes came out of like the Air Raid System, the Big 12, no defense. I'm just curious what the world looks like if he doesn't get Andy Reid as his head coach. Well, again, goes to, you know, Tennessee Jackson, whatever. Without, like an offensive mind.
- [25:45]
Colin Cowherd
Remember, there's about, there's. There's a half a dozen GMs in the league that thought Mahomes was the next farve. Like, it was a. They kept him quiet and he fell.
- [25:55]
AJ Pierzynski
To what, 11, 10. 11 overall. Yeah.
- [25:57]
Colin Cowherd
So I don't. This is not the same situation. I know everybody I talk to in the league and I've asked everybody, they're like the first thing they say. Great kid, unbelievable athlete. I'm not sure. And so it's different. By the way, now these are unofficial times. Michael Vick ran a 43 3, Lamar 434, Jalen a 437. Now Jalen is more ripped than Michael or Lamar.
- [26:20]
AJ Pierzynski
He's big.
- [26:21]
Colin Cowherd
Oh, I mean, he is. He is. And again, there's so many things to like. But Kalyn DeBoer had Michael Penix and I mean, just, I mean, it was so consistent. Every Saturday was beautiful. I mean, he struggled. I mean, I mean, remember that Vandy game? Like there were halves that they couldn't move the ball.
- [26:39]
AJ Pierzynski
Wasn't Pennix Like a fifth year guy? He was like 23, 24 years old. Milrose a little younger than that he sat for.
- [26:45]
Colin Cowherd
But he's super mature. He's supposed to be a super mature.
- [26:48]
AJ Pierzynski
I don't know. Based on this discussion, I'm planting my flag. I'm a Jayla Mill robot. I hope he goes to the right Spot.
- [26:54]
Colin Cowherd
I want him to succeed. I'm with you. I would love to see, you know, I would love to see a team. I don't know.
- [27:02]
AJ Pierzynski
If he goes to the Cowboys, forget it. It's over. It's not happening. His career's. It's dead on arrival. I'm just telling you, if he goes to the Brown second round early, Giant, second round early. That's. Those are home runs day, Bullet.
- [27:14]
Colin Cowherd
It's not going top five or six.
- [27:15]
AJ Pierzynski
No, no, I said second round, second round. I don't know that they do it, but would Minnesota draft Another quarterback second round, Kevin Oconnell like you? You could be McVeigh or Kevin Oconnell. This guy's going to the moon.
- [27:29]
Colin Cowherd
Seriously, I can't figure out. I can't figure out the Rams in.
- [27:32]
AJ Pierzynski
The market for drafting a quarterback. They are, they have to be, right. Stafford's got one or two years left.
- [27:38]
Colin Cowherd
I think when you get to like the 20th pick on, you just take the best player available because that's no man's land. You kind of have second round picks. So when I've talked to the Rams, it's like, hey, man, when you get. When you're a really good team, like Kansas City, Philadelphia, every year. But the time you, if, you know, like the Rams thought about moving up for Brock Bowers and they couldn't get there right. But if, if the bad teams mostly drop in the top 14, and that's where the really, the getting's good. When you're into first round, there's a couple wide receivers. There's Loveland, the tight end from Michigan. If he fell to 23, you just take him. Milroe's one of those guys. If he's there at 23 or 24, Andy Reid may be like, I'm just going to take him because, you know, there's also. Josh Connerly is an offensive tackle for Oregon Young, really good. If he's available at 25, I think you just have to take him. Although he may be a year away from starting in the NFL. So you just don't get too clever late first. You just take what's available. Whatever need, forget need. Just take the best player available, Jay McLean. No, no, no. Turn on the news. This is the Herd line news.
- [28:52]
AJ Pierzynski
All right, let's start in the Pacific Northwest with the Seahawks. And your guy Cooper cup had his introductory press conference yesterday. I know you're disappointed to know he's wearing a hat backwards. Yeah, he's wearing flannel. Pearl Jam. A little nod to the Pacific Northwest there. Perhaps. It's a bit of a homecoming for cup played college football at Eastern Washington. That factored into his decision to join the Seahawks. I really do like the Pearl Jam T shirt. Here he is talking about playing against the Rams twice a year next season.
- [29:19]
Unnamed Guest
Yeah, I am. I am looking forward to it. I wasn't playing to the, you know, decision to come here, but it's a nice little thing on the side to be able to go against those guys. And know a lot of those guys have so much respect for the coaching staff, the way that they handle things down there, the players down there. I am excited about though it's going to be. It's going to be a really cool thing. And you know, at the. When that time comes, you know, it will be. It'll just be football at that point, you know, but. But I am looking forward to it.
- [29:46]
Colin Cowherd
I would be very happy if I was Cooper cup, his family and his agent because I thought there were a couple of players I thought were overpaid. Milton Williams for New England. Got about twice what I think I would be comfortable paying. Cooper cup got a really good deal for somebody that no longer separates. Got a really good room leader. Nice guy.
- [30:10]
AJ Pierzynski
I think he could slide right into the slot. You move JSN outside. I think he's got the fast feet. He gets to eat right. You know, slow feet don't eat. You love that last week, so I thought I'd bring it back.
- [30:19]
Colin Cowherd
I'm a Cup guy, you know, he's a character guy. He went to Eastern Washington University. That place produces character.
- [30:26]
AJ Pierzynski
All right, let's move on. Eastern Washington. Is that the Smurf turf or whatever? Anyways, let's go to the next one. Oh, man. This was a heartbreaker for St. Francis. My guys. Alabama State through a literal Hail Mary pass, bing, bang, boom, right into the guy's breadbasket knee. Lays it in with 1 second left. Alabama State gets the win. Heartbreak city for St. Francis and the Hornets. They advance to face number one seed Alabama tomorrow where they are probably like a 30 point underdog. Did you watch any of that game?
- [31:01]
Colin Cowherd
No, but. And I didn't watch the North Carolina game. I just kept checking my phone as I was watching something else and laughing that North Carolina was leading by 4, 40.
- [31:09]
AJ Pierzynski
How'd they get in the tournament?
- [31:10]
Colin Cowherd
It's outrageous. They lead by 40. They had like 14 threes.
- [31:16]
AJ Pierzynski
Final story. And I want to give this some room to breathe. It's your boy. Joel Clack has a new mock draft. Oh, I'm not going to Say anything. I'm just going to tee you up because I already have thoughts. I don't want to impact yours. He has Cam Ward going one like everybody. He has Travis Hunter going two to the Browns, followed by Shador to the Giants. Abdul Carter, Will Johnson rising up his charts, the Michigan corner, Mason Graham, Will Campbell the offensive tackle to my Jets. I disagree. Jalen Walker, a couple of Georgia guys and then Banks to Chicago, another offensive lineman for the Bears. Let's drill down on two. What do you got?
- [31:53]
Colin Cowherd
Yeah, I mean Travis Hunter is a great athlete, so I'm not going to say bad pick. I mean, I think Travis Hunter will be the most dynamic player in the draft.
- [32:02]
AJ Pierzynski
Okay.
- [32:02]
Colin Cowherd
And I also think Kevin Stefanski is an excellent coach, so he'll figure out a way to use him. So I don't think that's bad at all. I mean, I, I mean it's not a good enough draft to argue like I love Mason Graham and Will Johnson from Michigan. I would have no problem. The guy that's sliding is that wide receiver, T. Mac from Arizona. He is sliding.
- [32:22]
AJ Pierzynski
Mistake. But whatever.
- [32:23]
Colin Cowherd
You and I both like him.
- [32:24]
AJ Pierzynski
Yeah. Where's Tyler Warren? Anyways, you have said, and I know some of your takes now because I've been on the show, what, two, two and a half years? I don't even know. Time flies when you're having fun.
- [32:33]
Colin Cowherd
Yeah.
- [32:34]
AJ Pierzynski
You said wide receivers are accessories. On what planet do you take an accessory ahead of a quarterback when you don't have one?
- [32:43]
Colin Cowherd
Well, I think generationally, as Urban Meyer said, Travis Hunter is so unique. He is. He has an ability that Urban touched on that you don't see much. So when Michael Jordan was in his prime, Michael would go play 36 holes of golf, come back, go to the arena and drop 45. And we've all had a friend like this in our life, that they're just built different, like just genetically, they've got more energy. Travis Hunter literally can play 80 snaps and on the 80th one he has snap seven energy. That's what Urban said. Like he is literally blocking downfield on the 73rd snap of a game. He's such a unique all time athlete in a weakness draft. Maybe if it's a great draft, he's 8 12. But I. You're Cleveland. The idea that he could be a number two corner and your number one receiver with an clever offensive coach, I'm here for it.
- [33:40]
AJ Pierzynski
So you, you're okay with taking Travis Hunter, a receiver over a quarterback when you don't have one?
- [33:45]
Colin Cowherd
Well, they do have who? Deshaun Watson.
- [33:48]
AJ Pierzynski
Quiet. He's not their quarterback. They. They're done with this guy. They don't want him. Well, he's on his Achilles twice.
- [33:54]
Colin Cowherd
Isn't he on the roster?
- [33:55]
AJ Pierzynski
He's technically on the roster, but they don't want him. They don't like him. He's the major reason that everybody in the organization is depressed. He's gonna cost Stefanski his job if he's your starting quarterback.
- [34:07]
Colin Cowherd
No, I think Stefanski said, I think next year's the quarterback class. And my take is you can get that quarterback in the second round. Young man out of Syracuse, Kyle McCord with the.
- [34:21]
AJ Pierzynski
Kyle McCord.
- [34:22]
Colin Cowherd
Kyle McCord, second round. Don't be shocked. To peace.
- [34:25]
AJ Pierzynski
Mean Girls, the movie where that one girl's trying to make fetch happen and she Stop. Stop trying to make fetch happen. Stop trying to make Calord happen. I know you like him and you have guys telling you stuff.
- [34:35]
Colin Cowherd
Hey, let.
- [34:36]
AJ Pierzynski
Let's just.
- [34:36]
Colin Cowherd
I'm doing my own homework on this. You're breaking down film.
- [34:39]
AJ Pierzynski
Joe Rogan do my own research. Guy on quarterbacks, by the way, at some point, and people have asked me this on the staff, when are you going to say to Colin, next year? We keep hearing about all these quarterbacks. Who is it besides Arch Manning, who we don't even know?
- [34:52]
Colin Cowherd
Kid at Penn State's very good. Kid at Penn State.
- [34:56]
AJ Pierzynski
You want to roll the Notre Dame tape of Penn State quarterback? I know he's got some tweets. Toolsy. Yeah, I. I don't know. We don't. We always say this next year's quarterback next year. Hey, next year I'll get around to cleaning the garage. College. So I tell the wife all the time.
- [35:13]
Colin Cowherd
J. Mack with the news. Well, that's the news. And thanks for stopping by the herd lie news here was. Was Albert Brer came on about 50 minutes ago on the decision. Now the Vikings have said to Aaron Rodgers, no, thanks. Now it's down to the Steelers, it's down to the Giants, and here's Albert Brer.
- [35:35]
Albert Breer
The Giants are sort of analogous to what the jets were when he went there two years ago, where you've got a promising young core and you're asking Aaron Rodgers to come in and lift all those guys up, right? So Malik, neighbors, Andrew Thomas, you know, Dexter Lawrence, Kayvon Thibodeau, Brian Burns. They're asking him to come in and take a franchise that's been down for a while and lift it up. Whereas with the Steelers, it's different. He's jumping on a Moving train. He'd be kind of syncing up with some more of his peers and it'd be a different deal in Pittsburgh where he's more the final piece than somebody who's going to lift all boats.
- [36:09]
Colin Cowherd
Yeah, that's what it's been reduced to. All this stuff is fun these days. Clack comes out with his, you know, I will say this is that, you know, there's been a lot of talk about, oh, the NBA's ratings. Nobody likes it. The ratings for the NBA are on par with last year. And I think the playoffs will beat last year's playoff numbers significantly because Steph's going to be it, LeBron's going to be it. And the Lakers and Warriors have a chance to get to the NBA Finals. I think the Lakers chance is better than the warriors, but they both have a chance. But right now what's interesting is basketball as a whole. Women's basketball's up. WNBA is up. Men's March Madness is up. These conference championships are up. We love basketball in this country. We love basketball. We don't always love this load management nonsense, which I think Adam Silver, the one thing the late David Stern attacked very quickly was load management. When the spurs started doing it, I think Adam has been a little too easy on players. I would levy heavy fines. Even Magic Johnson this week was talking about that he didn't watch the All Star Weekend. It was so bad. And that he a couple, you know, a couple weeks ago to watch a game and both stars are out. He didn't want to watch the game. So. But the idea that we don't love basketball, we love it. The NBA just needs like baseball, the right guys playing in the right markets.

Prohibition. It's no secret that banning alcohol didn't stop people from living it up in the 1920s.
- [41:01]
Colin Cowherd
When we're five years into prohibition, the government is starting to go, OK, this isn't working.
- [41:07]
Ed Helms
In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast, Snafu, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula 6. Because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers due to poisoned liquor. And all along, an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it.
- [41:33]
AJ Pierzynski
They were like superhero crusaders turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't fair, and was corrupt.
- [41:41]
Ed Helms
So how did Prohibition's war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people? To find out, listen and subscribe to snafu on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Colin Cowherd
So you know this is the time of the year that NFL teams could submit rule changes to the NFL. Belich would do that every year. He'd come up with clever stuff. So the packers have made it official an anti tush push rule. And basically what the packers are selling to the NFL is you cannot push a quarterback from behind. I agree with that. You don't want to eliminate quarterback sneaks and you know, everybody uses them. Brady used him to perfection. So do the Eagles and Jalen hurts, but you can't to prohibit an offensive player from pushing a teammate who was lined up directly behind the snapper and receives the snap immediately at the snap. So just get the guy behind pushing. I totally agree. It's bad aesthetically. You get somebody hurt and it just. It just feels like one of those things. It doesn't help the game. Also, this is an interesting one. The Lions proposed a bylaw. I don't like this at all. That would allow wild card teams to be seated higher than division winners based on record. That would have actually helped the Vikings last year. Bottom line is it can't just be record because there are easier and harder Divisions, win your division. You know, divisions are never going to be equal. College football, the SEC has been better than everybody by a mile except the Big Ten for the last 20 years. And last year was one of the first years I remember that the Big Ten was better, was the best conference in college football. And I think they will again next year. A lot of that's nil and money and you know, Washington, Oregon, USC moving in. So, so I like the packers tush push proposal, you know, win your division. This idea when people get upset, well, they won their division. They're 9 and 7, but they're not very good. You know, life's not fair. Some people grow up, you know, money, some don't. Life's not fair. You got to make the most of it. Oh, and, and by the way, the story of the day at the pro day is that Jalen Milroe ran like a Michael Vic. Lamar Jackson, 40. I don't think Pittsburgh is a good fit. If you go look at Russell Wilson's last five games, including the playoffs, he was.05 and I mean six passing touchdowns, four giveaways. The offensive culture in Pittsburgh is broken. And after the rah rah stuff melts away by December and January, Pittsburgh's bad at the end of years offensively, how many straight years? I just don't think they're a sophisticated offensive culture. And, and so I think Jalen Milroe needs like, maybe like Bo Nix needs the right fit to flourish at least early in his career. Here's Albert Brer earlier on. Jalen Milroe and his, you know, dynamic pro day.
- [45:05]
Albert Breer
He does have freakish athletic ability. And like the easy comp is to another guy who played at Bama, which is Jalen Hurts. A couple of guys who evaluated both have, have told me is to be Jalen Millere or to be Jalen Hurts, you're walking a very narrow path. He was special as a competitor. Special from a work ethic standpoint, special football character. Look at the distance he's got to go as a passer to be an effective NFL quarterback and then try to determine whether or not he's got, you know, upstairs and in his gut, what Jalen Hurts had to make himself into what he is today.
- [45:44]
Colin Cowherd
So I was thinking about this when I looked at Russell Wilson's last five games. J Mac who are the two quarterbacks that we still think can play at a decent level? A B2B plus level. Some Sundays that couldn't find a team? It's Aaron and Russell both, both seen as high Maintenance. Well, it's, I'm telling you, I've. I've had so many times I have talked to NFL people in the building and they will reference. Hey man, that's, that's what the NBA does. We're not a player driven league. That's not what we're going to do. The minute you'll tolerate a little bit of it when OBJ is in his prime, the minute a player gets out of his prime and there's maintenance, I want this coordinator and I want this player. I mean, don't forget, before he went to the Jets, Aaron did not have a big market. Russell did not have a big market.
- [46:42]
AJ Pierzynski
Well, Russ flamed out Seattle and Denver because of that stuff. But I don't recall too much chatter in Pittsburgh about demands I made.
- [46:50]
Colin Cowherd
But that's his brand. Now Russell is seen as a little cringy, hopelessly optimistic, not necessarily great locker room guy. Fair or not, why is Russell go to Aaron's last 10 games last year go to Russell's season. It flamed out, but Russell wasn't bad early in the year.
- [47:10]
AJ Pierzynski
So do you remember where Aaron Glenn dropped the hammer on Rodgers and said, hey man, you know, if you want to come back, none of this podcast every week getting paid and throwing the flamethrower on people. And some people said, oh that's so stupid. Let him do his thing. No, it was creating drama. Right. So I don't know, are the Giants and the Browns trying to draw Atlanta?
- [47:29]
Colin Cowherd
Well, I think the Giants are so desperate they would take whatever they could get. Yeah, I just.
- [47:35]
AJ Pierzynski
It's not a good place to be.
- [47:37]
Colin Cowherd
No.
- [47:37]
AJ Pierzynski
Desperate for Aaron Rodgers.
- [47:39]
Colin Cowherd
Whatever. Mercedes Lewis, former Packer, been in the NFL?
- [47:42]

Colin Cowherd

- [47:44]
AJ Pierzynski
He knows Rogers a little bit. Right.
- [47:45]
Colin Cowherd
Did you. You know what? I didn't watch college basketball last night. I watched some Warriors Bucks. It is interesting.
- [47:53]
AJ Pierzynski
How do you watch that with no Curry?
- [47:55]
Colin Cowherd
It was a good game. Giannis played. I mean, I'm watching the war. I want. By the way, Curry can miss him a playoff game.
- [48:02]
AJ Pierzynski
Okay, so you watch NBA last night. Next four nights it's all college hoops.
- [48:06]
Colin Cowherd
Right, right, right, right. So it.
- [48:07]
AJ Pierzynski
I don't know what's. It's crazy stuff could happen in NBA and it's like it goes under the radar but because of college basketball.
- [48:12]
Colin Cowherd
But isn't it crazy how sports changes so quickly? Is that Jokic and Wimby Wemby enters the league after Jokic and you're like, well there are seven footers who can shoot jumpers and pass and dribble. Giannis looks like outdated. He has no jumper, no mid. No mid range jumper. Forget the three point, can't shoot free throws like in my. Take it. It's very Tim Duncan. Tim Duncan today would not age nearly as well as Larry bird would. Like LeBron, Michael Jordan, they'll work anywhere but Tim Duncan in today's game. He doesn't shoot no mid range, no long. Rain doesn't handle the ball in his era like Shaq today. In his era, the power stuff worked. What would Shaq be today?
- [49:06]
AJ Pierzynski
Well, we know he couldn't guard the pick and roll. Sorry, Shaq. He couldn't just put him in a blender on the pick and roll. That's right.
- [49:11]
Colin Cowherd
I mean, I mean, that's.
- [49:13]
AJ Pierzynski
You want to guess how old Giannis is?
- [49:17]
Colin Cowherd
30.
- [49:18]
AJ Pierzynski
30? He turned 30 in December. You're saying he's outdated already? That's a little theory.
- [49:23]
Colin Cowherd
I'm not saying. I'm saying his style of. Watch Jokic and Wemby, he's a limited player. It'd be different if he shot 78% from the line. He's missed more than a hundred free throws last night. Draymond, who is 5 inches shorter, shut him down. Go ask Draymond about Jokic. He laughs. He's like, yeah, white flag. Surrender nobody and nobody can stop Wimby. Nobody can stop Jokic. They have so many demand. I'm saying with Giannis's, it's not. He doesn't have a ton of dimensions. Foul him. Get it now. If he has a physical mismatch, he will take you to the basket and score. Nobody's saying he's not great, but man, basketball, these bigs now are so talented that it just like, all right, foul him. Get him to the line. That was the knock on for Duncan for years. Just foul, Tim. Get him to the line. He got better as he got older, but this is Nikki Glaser from the Nikki Glaser podcast. Have you guys seen this new commercial from Stand up to All Hate? It's basically Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady going back and forth with reasons that they hate each other. But then when you really listen to them, the reasons for the hate are just so stupid. I don't know. This. This commercial really got me. It's a strong reminder that hate in our country continues to be out of control. So join us at iHeart in standing up to it. If you see hate, speak up. Call it out. Your voice is a powerful tool in this fight. You can learn more by following up with hate.
