00:00It is Monday, and it's definitely an action-packed one with the Miles Garrett trade, but we still will mix
00:06in.
00:07Can we say that? David.
00:19Exciting times, people.
00:21It is, Michael, because you know what? Late additions got added.
00:25So I'm going to give you one right now, right off the bat.
00:28Gentlemen, can we say the Rams are now clearly the team to beat in the NFL?
00:36I will only answer this question if you say it like Stephen A. Smith.
00:40Clearly the team to beat.
00:42Spelled C-U-H-L-E-A-R-L-Y.
00:45Clearly.
00:47Yeah, I mean, they got to be approaching, what, plus 250 to win the whole damn thing.
00:53I think there is, again, health is everything.
00:56But yes, they were a Super Bowl favorite before the trade.
01:01You've just acquired a guy who could very easily have an 18-20 sack season next year.
01:08So yes, there's no other way for me to answer it.
01:12Yeah, Mike said everything.
01:14They were already up there at the top to be one of the favorites in the NFC.
01:17Now they're probably the favorites.
01:19So yeah.
01:20Denny?
01:21I think clearly they are.
01:24By the way, the preseason Super Bowl favorite stuff, I don't really bet a hill of beans on any of
01:28it.
01:29But as it stands right here as currently constituted, yeah, I'd say so.
01:35Can we say, sticking with the NFL, that it's a two-parter, Mike?
01:41Odell Beckham Jr. just re-signed to the Giants?
01:44Whatever.
01:45Part one that he will get.
01:47Your team does stuff over the weekend, so that's why I keep including the Giants.
01:50It's not to troll you.
01:51They just keep doing stupid things.
01:53It's fine.
01:54What do you want me to say?
01:55He's going to get a lot of run with the G-man because you kind of need him.
01:58I still, listen, if Malik Neighbors is running like he ran at that softball game this weekend, my answer might
02:05change.
02:06Right.
02:06But I'm going to say no because he hasn't gotten run in his last two stops, really.
02:12I think he's a depth piece.
02:13I think he's a body.
02:15But I think if Odell is playing, I think it means you've lost two to three receivers.
02:19And maybe I'm being unfair to him.
02:21No, you're not.
02:22But wait, there's more, Mike.
02:24Oh, goody.
02:25Because it appears that you guys signed yet another wide receiver, a former Giant, Juju Smith-Schuster.
02:34Oh, God.
02:36Okay.
02:36What I just said about Odell, if Juju plays, it means all your receivers died in like a courtroom scene
02:45from the boys.
02:46Like heads started exploding.
02:48No, there's just no world Juju Smith-Schuster plays.
02:51But I will tell you, I am terrified that these signings mean that Malik Neighbors is Lieutenant Dan.
02:57Yeah, that would be the concern.
03:00Maybe I'm wrong here.
03:01I've been wrong before.
03:03These two may not make the roster.
03:06So they may not even make it through to September.
03:08That would be an epic.
03:09You've reached warm bodies phase of a receiver room.
03:12That's not a great look.
03:14Kenny, we've won seven games in two years.
03:16Leave me be.
03:16I just thought it was funny in the same day that the Miles Garrett deal happens.
03:21Lost in that was, oh, and Juju.
03:26I thought he was retired.
03:29Awesome.
03:29We've just signed Alvin Harper to attend day.
03:32All right.
03:33On a more serious note, guys, can we say that Stefan Castle is what Detroit thought Ron Holler would be?
03:45I think it's what they thought Jaden Ivey would be, considering, look.
03:50I mean, only because he's two years in.
03:53Fair draft.
03:54I just stylistically, he can be a primary, tough as nails, two-way player.
04:00There's an intensity, a grit about him.
04:01But, yeah, you can say that, too.
04:03Look, this is the problem.
04:05Not all development is linear.
04:07Not everyone's the same.
04:08But the idea that Holland was DNPCD and Castle is a heavy with a team in the finals.
04:15Yeah.
04:16I'll say yes.
04:19I'll also say yes.
04:21And I loved, I loved.
04:22It was just a regular playoff.
04:25Our father, Caruso, had on him.
04:26But I love the dog that he had down there on that floor.
04:30They had to pull him away.
04:32Yeah.
04:33But he's exactly what we wanted.
04:35Yes.
04:37Guys, can we say that the Major League lockout is inevitable?
04:42The owners came out and said, hey, we're coming out with a hard cap.
04:45Lockout?
04:46Yes.
04:47It's 110%.
04:48I have zero belief there would be a deal that would avoid the lockout.
04:53Now, when they come to a deal, you know my belief.
04:56I still think we're in deep duty for 27.
04:59But the lockout December 1st, that's like death and taxes.
05:03Yeah.
05:04Yeah.
05:05For the next, let's say, year and a half, people in Detroit are going to need something
05:09else to do because there will be no baseball, none whatsoever.
05:15And can we say that Bobby Witt Jr. may be the American League MVP?
05:23He's on a bad team, but he's putting up some really good numbers.
05:28His war is not like the wars here in this town.
05:32If you totaled the war of the Tigers lineup, does it equate to Witt Jr.?
05:38Unfortunately, that's a serious question.
05:40Yes, you can say that.
05:41And he's arguably the best player in the sport.
05:45I mean, him, Otani, it's a very short list.
05:47If Bobby Witt Jr. played in a bigger market, his rep would be different.
05:51He's fabulous.
05:53Yeah, he probably is right now.
05:54It would have been interesting to see what the White Sox player would have done.
05:59He's now gone.
06:00Yeah, he's now gone for six weeks.
06:02I don't think he can get back in that race.
06:04But yeah, it's Bobby Witt Jr.'s now.
06:06See, I thought he was more so for just rookie of the year.
06:09He was going up against McGonagall.
06:10But it would have been nice to see what else he can do and maybe push towards it.
06:14And I only say that because I know a lot of people don't watch Royals baseball, but he's really good.
06:19You should probably watch.
06:20They don't win a lot of games.
06:21I've heard that.
06:22But he's really good.
06:24A lot of losing.
06:26That's can we say that.
06:27We'll have part two of this a little bit later on in the show.
06:3097-1.
