00:00My mindset is to come into the league and take it over.
00:03I'm not trying to ease my way in.
00:04I'm not trying to, you know, I'm going to take some time to learn from the vets.
00:08No, I'm trying to come in, learn from the vets as well.
00:10Right, right.
00:11But I'm trying to take it over.
00:16The NFL draft is just weeks away.
00:19Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is pretty much a lot to go number one
00:23to the Raiders at this point.
00:25But everybody has had their take on where Notre Dame running back
00:31Jeremiah Love gets drafted.
00:33Who do you think is the best player in the draft?
00:36Jeremiah Love, the running back from Notre Dame.
00:38I believe he solidified himself as a top 10 pick.
00:41The NFL better not let him land in Kansas City with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes.
00:45Jeremiah Love, like the obvious plan is we're going to get him touches
00:48both as a receiver and as a runner.
00:50And so if you have a system and a coordinator who's in lockstep
00:54with the value that you see in this individual, now you've got something.
00:59Should Jeremiah Love just go top five because of the impact he makes
01:01on an entire offense single-handedly?
01:03That's my argument.
01:04That's the argument I've been trying to make.
01:06You heard these people.
01:07Hands down, he's one of the best players in this draft.
01:10He's NFL ready.
01:11He's a home run hitter coming out of the backfield.
01:14This kid can do it all.
01:16Jeremiah Love is the best player in this draft, and it really ain't close.
01:19He was the best player in college football, too.
01:22It was actually underutilization at Notre Dame that probably cost him the Heisman.
01:27John Harbaugh loves his running backs, but do the Giants really want to revisit
01:32the 2018 draft and take Love within the top five?
01:37Some of the fans still have a little Saquon PTSD.
01:41There's a lot of reports out there saying that they might take a guy like Jeremiah Love
01:44at number five.
01:45I'm not taking him that high.
01:47I'm not taking a running back in the top 10.
01:48He may not get past the Giants at five.
01:52Look, they saw what they gave up, and I understand why they thought they maybe needed to give
01:57this up, meaning let Saquon go, but they saw the difference that he can make.
02:02If Jeremiah Love is there at five, I do not see John Harbaugh passing up on this guy or
02:07his featured back that can do absolutely everything.
02:11This is a coach that loves his premier running backs.
02:15Ray Rice, Justin Forsett, Mark Ingram, Derek Henry, they all made it to the Pro Bowl while
02:22playing for John Harbaugh.
02:24The Giants' offensive line never ranked in the first half of the league in run blocking
02:30when Saquon Barkley was here.
02:32So the PTSD isn't from Saquon.
02:35It's from not having the O-line or the infrastructure to set him up for success.
02:41When was the last time we talked about the Ravens' offensive line being a liability?
02:46I'll wait, because we have it.
02:48Draft love to be your Bijon Robinson.
02:50My mindset is to come into the league and take it over.
02:54I'm not trying to ease my way in.
02:55I'm not trying to, you know, I'm going to take some time to learn from the vets.
02:59No, I'm trying to come in, learn from the vets as well.
03:01Right, right.
03:02But I'm trying to take it over.
03:02Is there trouble in Hollywood?
03:05First former Lakers great, Byron Scott, said that he wanted it to be LeBron's last year in L.A.
03:12Are you ready to see him go from the Lakers?
03:15Yeah.
03:18You know, I mean, like I said, I'm a fan, but, you know, I don't mince words either.
03:23I mean, I think this should be his last year here.
03:27Not in the NBA, just here.
03:28No, just here.
03:28And now, Luka Doncic and head coach J.J. Riddick had themselves a little public spat, and Vando had to
03:36break it up.
03:50I think those things happen, you know, not every game, but they happen very frequently, and I don't know why
03:57it went by.
03:57And it felt very normal to me.
03:59Forget the spat.
04:00You need a guy like Vando.
04:02You see this man in the video.
04:04He is a glue guy.
04:05He is a wingman.
04:06He is the definition of team player.
04:09If let me save you from yourself was a person, in that video, it's Vando.
04:19Is J.J. McCarthy the franchise quarterback that the Minnesota Vikings drafted him to be?
04:25The Vikings are actually reportedly interested in trading for Kyler Murray or even Tua to either take J.J.'s job
04:34or to compete with him.
04:35So, I ask again, is J.J.'s time in the Twin Cities coming to an end?
04:40They know privately, yeah, the J.J. McCarthy thing, it's not working.
04:46You're not interested in Tua and reportedly Kyler Murray if you're 45 million over the cap?
04:51Is the J.J. train leaving the station in Minnesota already?
04:55I'm not going to write him off.
04:57You bring in somebody for sure.
04:58Hopefully a veteran that's going to come in and compete with him.
05:01But, I mean, he's still young.
05:02He's still talented.
05:04J.J. McCarthy never throws the ball away.
05:07He threw the ball away four times last year.
05:10And Caleb Williams threw it away 40 times.
05:12And he's got to learn how to live to play another day.
05:15If I'm Minnesota, I still am of the thought process.
05:17I need a starting quarterback.
05:19I don't want somebody to come in and maybe compete with J.J.
05:22You can't waste two years in a row of Hall of Fame wide receivers.
05:24I'm not going to sit here and wait for J.J. McCarthy to get better.
05:27With all due respect, 2-5, either you have it or you don't.
05:30He didn't have it like that in college.
05:32He doesn't have it like that in the league.
05:34And if Kevin O'Connell cannot save you, don't save him.
05:38Yeah, writing's pretty much on the wall for this one.
05:41If they're checking in on the quarterback that plays a little bit too much Call of Duty
05:45and the one who's going to star in Will Smith's concussion movie sequel to compete with you,
05:51then, yeah, it's time to put your house on the market.
05:54Your time, sir, is coming to an end.
05:56The pressure coming.
05:57McCarthy steps up the road.
05:59And it's intercepted by Bayard.
06:01I got to be better.
06:02I got to do a lot of things better.
06:04All right, no time to waste.
06:05Let's get straight into today's quick takes.
06:08Trey Young got ejected from a game.
06:10He hasn't even stepped on the floor for the Wizards just yet.
06:14Getting it out the mud on the defensive end.
06:16Running the other way.
06:18John Muir's on the deck as the Wizards want something called.
06:22We have a technical foul on Trey Young for running on the court and he's been ejected.
06:27Oh, wow.
06:29Trey Young hasn't even played a game yet for the Wizards.
06:32Technically, he did step on the floor, which is why he got ejected.
06:36But what I'm tripping on is, in the words of Smokey from the movie Friday, how the hell
06:42are you going to get fired on your day off?
06:44God, you got to be a stupid to get fired on your day off.
06:49Legendary college basketball coach Rick Pitino, future Hall of Famer.
06:55Great guy to play for.
06:56But according to Villanova head coach Kevin Willard, he's a horrible dude to coach for
07:02and to work for.
07:04Don't you know what adversity is all about?
07:06That's the f***ing game of life.
07:08Not the game of basketball.
07:10You don't f***ing get down when things go wrong.
07:13You dig it and get tougher.
07:14I'm not f***ing dick.
07:16I don't have hair in this way.
07:18I had a false set of hair when I started working for him.
07:21Like, it's the most miserable experience in life.
07:25And everyone laughs when I say that, but you know, you think you're going to get fired.
07:30It's miserable.
07:31As he's gotten older, he's probably become more of a cranky old f*** than he was when I
07:36grew up.
07:37Like, you literally fear for your life.
07:39He's that intense.
07:40He always has been.
07:41Why are you bringing all this up now?
07:43If you're that hurt, you should have just channeled your inner John Cheney and gone after Patino
07:49like Cheney did John Calipari.
08:02LSU women's basketball head coach Kim Mulkey has been in Louisiana for too long, and you
08:10can tell by the way she daps and handshakes.
08:21You know, they say real comedy has some sort of truth to it.
08:26That was a real life key and peel skit.
08:29Nice to meet you, John.
08:30Mr. Ian Roberts.
08:31Nice to meet you.
08:32Peter Tensio.
08:33All right.
08:33Nice to meet you.
08:34Jerome Smith.
08:36Come on.
08:36Well, what's up, fam?
08:39Kim Mulkey will always be invited to the barbecue, but just not if she's wearing whatever the
08:45hell she had on in that video.
08:50Takers.
08:50This new generation of pro athletes is just absolutely wild.
08:54They've just let it be known that they're going to do things how they want to do it.
08:58One of Detroit Tigers' top prospects, left fielder Max Clark, was absolutely iced out during
09:04a spring training game.
09:05Derek Scoble, who made $32 million, which for $32 million, you can get half of what
09:11Max Clark's currently wearing on his neck.
09:13My goodness.
09:13In the words of that Future and Drake song, them diamonds are dancing.
09:18And you know what?
09:18There's nothing wrong with a little ice or jewelry, right?
09:21Justin Jefferson rocks an iced out grill.
09:24Rafael Nadal, where he rocks specialize in some extremely expensive Richard Milley watches
09:30during his matches.
09:31And Simone Biles.
09:32She's competed while wearing diamond stud earrings.
09:35But the difference between them, the old school, and the new school of Max Clark,
09:40they don't suck while they're rocking the bling.
09:44Into the bright blue sky.
09:46Shallow left center.
09:47Oh!
09:49Clark dropped it.
09:57I'm all about this new generation playing the game how they want to play it and leaving
10:02their own mark.
10:03Just don't disrespect it and make some sort of mockery out of it.
10:07But, if this man gets cut, I want the coach or the manager to rip those chains off like
10:13T.I. did to Nunu in the movie ATL.
10:16Real ones know what I'm talking about.
10:18Bet you had a nice little laugh about this, huh?
10:22Give me back my Netflix!
10:24Alright, that's it for What The Take.
10:26Check us out again next week.
10:28Same time, different takes.
