00:03champ and jump brought to you by sarah chevrolet sterling heights it's karshen anderson 97 1 2 4
00:088 5 3 9 97 97 let's get to your phone calls matt is on 97 1 good morning matt
00:13hey good morning guys
00:15champ and chump champ is going to be red wings heisman for the move for them winning the game
00:20the way folk played was great chumps uh pistons i don't know what's going on with them but they
00:27need to get it together was like the fourth loss in a row and then the lions because you know
00:34i know
00:35they don't listen to me but uh receivers are a dime a dozen i feel like we could have got
00:40max crosby
00:41if we shipped out a receiver like jamo and a couple picks and we could have bolstered you know got
00:47another edge rush paired with aiden which would have made this team better so wait wait just just
00:53to be clear matt you would have sent jamo and two first round picks for max crosby i would have
00:59sent a first round pick and probably like another pick i don't know which one but i i feel like
01:05max crosby was attainable for this team but uh they don't want to spend to go get players you know
01:13brad holt thinks we're good well i understand it's not it's not that they it's not that they don't want
01:18to spend they're they have a salary cap to work with this isn't baseball you can't just go willy
01:23nilly with with how much you're going to spend they are constrained true so if you were and if
01:29your plan if you were to trade jameson williams with that then you would take on jameson williams
01:34dead cap money which makes it even more prohibitive okay so if you wanted to i mean your point about
01:41it
01:41look matt if you wanted to trade two first round picks and and add a little sweetener to the deal
01:45because you would have to be that's what you'd have to do because you got to get better than the
01:4814th overall pick and the lions have the 17th overall pick and that's why you know baltimore
01:52had the better package at this point but if you were to throw in a little sweetener hey we'll give
01:56you a fifth round pick or whatever or or something else could they have gotten it done yeah so what's
02:03interesting to me is does it feel like a potential missed opportunity and i would say i would have done
02:10it
02:10okay and here's why i would have done it the lions may take an edge rusher at 17 that edge
02:17rusher
02:17isn't going to be better than max crosby so the so the price to get max crosby in my view
02:21is one
02:22first round pick that's the way i would i would do the math in my head okay i'm cashing in
02:27my draft
02:28pick at 17 for max crosby now um there was the the spot track put out how it could be
02:33restructured to
02:34make max crosby cost less this year on the cap for the team that traded for him so i would
02:40have done
02:41it all right but i also find it interesting there's a bunch of teams that would have been motivated to
02:47get max crosby in the same ballpark chicago minnesota tampa all could have done this and added max crosby or
02:55something like this and they didn't either and i find it i find it curious that and i'm putting
03:04quotes he only went for two first round picks when the rumors were it was going to be two first
03:08round
03:08picks and a player those rumors don't mean that they're they're accurate but a lot of teams decided
03:13not to do this which i found i found interesting um that it was only two first round picks when
03:19i think
03:20i like the idea i mean i would have done if i were chicago too and i would have put
03:24in the sweetener
03:24to be better than baltimore's picks i i would have done it in tampa i would have done it in
03:29minnesota
03:30i would have done all those places and so i find it i do find it curious it was only
03:36two first round
03:37picks but to be to be clear i would have done it i would have added the sweetener now that's
03:41not the
03:42only way to win in this league okay and that's one of the things that that happens is is you
03:48get
03:48locked in on this and you're okay they're going to try and do it a different way and there's no
03:52requirement to have two elite edge rushers in fact look at the list of super bowl champions they're
03:56more balanced than they are being overloaded at that position so i would agree with you i would
04:02have made the trade to find a way to sweeten it up and and let's get max crosby here particularly
04:06after
04:07it was after you heard what spot track said about it that you could you know restructure that deal
04:12make it make sense so now my head is thinking this go get linderbott if it costs 22 million dollars
04:20a
04:20year and everybody's talking to this 19 20 million dollar number and whatever it costs to make him the
04:25highest paid center i don't care you can afford it because it's not good you're not paying him 30
04:29million a year but you're going to pay him incrementally higher than 20 so if your bid comes
04:33in at 22 and it's the most go ahead and do that because a it doesn't cost you draft capital
04:39two he's the best center available and one of the best centers in the nfl and lastly
04:47if you could structure the deal with with max cross we remember that you when you give somebody
04:53a free agent contract like this that first year isn't as painful against the cap as others are so
04:59it shouldn't really prohibit your cap spending too much in this off season even though you're going
05:06to give this guy over 20 million a year that's what i want to do now if they don't do
05:11it am i going
05:11to be disappointed i'll be disappointed they don't get a center period but i feel like maybe there's re
05:17i'm re-energized and thinking yeah they can't go get this guy so i will tell you uh justin rogers
05:23from the detroit football network did some really good reporting on how much money they can free up
05:28and he wrote uh quarterback jared goff has a 55 million dollar base salary in 2026 the lions could
05:35drop that all the way to the veterans minimum of 1.3 million giving goff the other 53.7 million
05:41up front as a bonus for cap purposes that bonus would then be divided evenly over the four remaining
05:47years on goff's deal freeing up 40.3 million dollars that means they can be a player if they get
05:55that done
05:56and now it's just we wait we wait to see what they're planning on doing i think linderbaum could
06:03be in play 248-539-9797 i like the way you think scott let's go to bill of madison heights
06:10you're next
06:11hi bill hi guys what's up um yeah i'm liking that idea about linderbaum yeah it's uh it's hopefully it's
06:22becoming a little more of a reality as time goes on but um my champion chump is uh the champ
06:32is um
06:34you know finally i'll give it to stevie just because he finally made a move and gave up a draft
06:41pick and
06:41got a player that should help him both offensively and defensively so good for him but um and my chump
06:49i'm sorry it's it's got to be tom iso and i i could say jeremy fears but i mean i'm
06:57going to
06:57really restrain myself right now and i'm just going to say that jeremy fears has got a problem
07:04there's a lot he's got he's got problems he's got an issue and and uh he should not be playing
07:11basketball right now he he should be getting suspended and i don't know what the ncaa is doing
07:18he's going to he's going to kick the wrong guy in the nads pretty soon to get blasted one and
07:24and
07:24this is going to be a big you know it yesterday was a really good game and you know it's
07:30just too
07:30bad that that idiot well i'll say this he's he's a young kid who i listened to some reporting from
07:39the
07:39field of 68 uh covers college basketball one of the reporters there covered the kid in high school
07:45and said he's a great kid but he does appear to have a problem i have never seen that happen
07:52once
07:52let alone twice in a season and importantly he's not you're going to hurt your team and you can hurt
07:58your team at the wrong time um and and so you know i'm going to trust the people that have
08:05covered the
08:05kid i haven't so i don't i'm a little hesitant to you know tag him with some of the names
08:11you did but
08:12people that cover him and around him have said some good things about him as a kid but you know
08:17it's i allow young people the opportunity to grow up and i you know he's he's no different than
08:22anybody else but yes it's it does appear to be a pattern yeah i don't like seeing that stuff we've
08:28talked about this before because it's happened before unfortunately and it continues to do it
08:32it you know it's not just against michigan um but it's both games against michigan he's done
08:39stupid stuff like that i hate it and i'll really despise it if it ends up costing michigan
08:45state something in the tournament you know if he gets kicked out of a game he could easily have been
08:49ejected for that um but if he gets kicked out of a game for it that's going to cost the
08:53team and then
08:54we're all going to be really pissed michigan state fans can be really pissed at jeremy fears
08:58um if it costs him another technical foul and those points end up being the difference in the game
09:02yeah it's all that um i don't i don't mind players playing with an edge but that's not the edge
09:09i
09:09want to i don't like the dirty stuff i really don't and when you start going to somebody's nuts and
09:14and
09:14it's been a consistent thing with him where we've seen at least two i think there's been at least three
09:20now things like that in games uh i don't i i don't condone it at all um and and i'm
09:27i'm not happy
09:28about it i'm not thrilled with it and he doesn't need the dumb thing is he doesn't need to do
09:32it
09:32there's absolutely no reason to do what he did when he did it 248-539-9797 let's go to colin
09:40you're
09:40next hi colin hey guys i just want to champ uh michael porter jr for having a nice game against
09:47the pistons this weekend and i want to chump the pistons front office for being so apathetic in going
09:54out at the deadline and getting kind of the lifeless body of kevin herter well the guy that
09:59i want him to get in michael porter jr helped that team one of the worst teams in the east
10:03beat the
10:04pistons and now we're kind of in free fall right now it's a question that i have whether or not
10:09it's legit crisis mode uh it feels like it to me and you know i've expressed my concerns about the
10:17direction things have been going uh of late and some of what has gotten exposed and i i want to
10:24be clear here about something this team came into this season and i i didn't think that they were going
10:29to be the best team in the east and they've gone out and they've they've blown my expectations out of
10:33the water which is awesome i'm not mad angry at them it's just disappointing that this has happened
10:41and there's a reason why a lot of people in the national media seemed hesitant to jump on board
10:48and i'll i'll say this to scott there's also a reason why i say all the time seasons are long
10:55there's a lot of ups and downs and ebbs and flows they could work their way through this they could
11:01be
11:01okay but this is a couple of weeks now where they don't look right no it's not just the four
11:07game
11:08losing streak it's the games they won and then the game they lost uh to begin all this it's been
11:13what seven or eight games now where this has not been a team that has looked like a world beating
11:19team
11:20but to your point every team goes through a stretch where they look like they're never going to win
11:26again uh and every team goes through a stretch like they're never going to lose yep and right now
11:31they're going through this stretch like are they ever going to win again but it's the way that they're
11:34losing when they get down by 20 points 26 points and then you have to have this furious comeback to
11:41even make it look good like they did yesterday okay great you won 30 to 18 in the fourth quarter
11:45but you still lost by 11 well that's how bad things were and then and it was all the bench
11:49guys yeah
11:50exactly and then you get saturday's game where you're up by 23 24 points or whatever it was and end
11:56up
11:56losing huh how did that happen well that's the nba and they need to figure out the rotation and
12:03you know you've got two guys you can count on every night they're going to give you like 50 points
12:07a
12:07game those two you got what else you got 248-539-9797-971
