00:00All right, let's take a little break from the baseball talk.
00:02Paul, what do you got for us?
00:09Got a little Madden ratings here.
00:11The ratings for the Madden 27 video game have come out.
00:15So I figured I'd pick a few random guys' names out of here
00:18just to see if you and David can actually guess what they're being rated this year.
00:23Aaron Rodgers is 99.
00:25All right, Shabath, you're going to jump in here in this too
00:28so you can be embarrassed.
00:29That's strike one on David, by the way.
00:31Aaron Rodgers is not a 99?
00:34He maybe once.
00:36Ten years ago.
00:37Yeah, maybe 15, but yes.
00:39Okay.
00:40All right, so we're going to start off with tight end Trey McBride.
00:45Okay, I'm going to have to do the Evan Jenkins rule because I do know this.
00:49I think I know this one as well.
00:51All right, I'll be the only one because full honesty,
00:53I stopped playing Madden a while ago.
00:55No, I have too, but I've heard this one.
00:57Yeah, I don't really have a barometer.
00:59You having heard it makes me think it's probably higher than lower.
01:02I know Trey McBride's arguably their best player.
01:06I'm going to say 91.
01:08I'm going to go a little higher.
01:10I'm going to go 99.
01:11Yeah, he's 99.
01:12Oh, actually, wow.
01:12Yes, he's the number one tight end in the video game.
01:15Yeah.
01:15Holy.
01:1699 overall.
01:17That'll go down because he doesn't have Drew Petsing anymore, right?
01:20Or his quarterback.
01:21Yes.
01:22Or anybody else.
01:23It means Laporta's going to be 99.
01:24He's got Carson back-throwing passes.
01:26He's in a lot of trouble.
01:28All right, let's go.
01:29The one line I'm going to put on here, Jameer Gibbs.
01:33Ooh.
01:35Hmm.
01:36A B-john out there, Gibbs.
01:39I'm going to go Gibbs will be a 95.
01:45I think he's got all the measurables, but they'll discount him for something or another.
01:52I'm going to go 95.
01:54Okay.
01:55I'm going to go 97.
01:57If we're doing prices right, I guess I have to go 94.
02:03It's not quite Evan Jenkins.
02:04It's like half the Evan Jenkins role.
02:05I do know he's the number one back in the game.
02:07He is the number one running back on Madden, 27, with a 98 overall.
02:1298.
02:12Oh, wow.
02:13Okay.
02:14Whoa.
02:14Okay.
02:15That's high.
02:16No, no.
02:17I mean, I can kind of see that.
02:19I should have gone prices right the other way, 98 on David's 97.
02:21Right.
02:21You guys just wanted to sandwich me in.
02:23I got you.
02:24Okay.
02:24Let's go with a former Michigan State great, Kenneth Walker III, new running back for the
02:30Chiefs.
02:3150.
02:32Wow.
02:33No, no.
02:33I'm sorry.
02:34I'm sorry.
02:35I'll be serious.
02:37We said Kenneth Walker, not Le'Veon Bell.
02:38Still, Kenneth Walker, Super Bowl MVP.
02:43I'll go 89.
02:46Okay.
02:48I'm going to say they're going to reward him for his Super Bowl MVP, and I'm going to go
02:5391.
02:54Rico, you took my guess.
02:56I got to go lockstep with you.
02:57I was also going to say 91.
02:59Well, it's in between all of your guesses.
03:01It's 90 overall.
03:0290.
03:02Wow.
03:02You should have went prices right.
03:04That's two in a row now.
03:05I should have done that.
03:07Okay.
03:08Newly minted, very rich receiver, Chris Olave.
03:13Chris Olave just got paid.
03:17I mean, he had injuries early, but then he bounced back.
03:21Had 100 catches, over 1,000 yards, 9 TDs last year with Tyler Shuck throwing the ball.
03:26See, I don't think he's a top 10 receiver.
03:28But that doesn't matter for the Madden rating.
03:31No, it does not.
03:31So I'm going to go 94.
03:36I'm going to go close to David.
03:39I'm going to say low 90, so I'm going to say 92.
03:42Bryce is right, 95.
03:4687 overall.
03:47Okay.
03:47Whoa.
03:48Okay.
03:48All right.
03:49I guess I win now.
03:50They did the right thing.
03:52Yes.
03:53All right.
03:54Let's go to Rico's quarterback.
03:57Mike hates him, but Rico, that's his guy, Brock Purdy.
04:0098 and a half.
04:03Because Stafford got a 99.
04:05No.
04:05I'm going to say he probably will come in at a 90.
04:16Okay.
04:17I'm going to go 87.
04:20I'm more in line with David here.
04:21I was already going to go 86.
04:23I think the conversation and narrative around Brock Purdy is that he's maybe a little overrated
04:29now in the league.
04:30You know, Mr. Irrelevant.
04:31So I don't mean to price his right to you.
04:32I was going to go 86.
04:34Okay.
04:35It is 85.
04:36Whoa.
04:37I hate all.
04:38Just the disrespect.
04:39That's okay.
04:40Wow.
04:41That's okay.
04:41Just disrespect.
04:42Good for Matt.
04:42That's mean and hurtful, Paul.
04:44Matt is doing it right.
04:45Where's the Dolphins?
04:47They're cool.
04:47Yeah.
04:48A lot of low rankings.
04:50Malik Willis.
04:50They have it on his 60s.
04:52Yeah.
04:52Unfortunately.
04:54Let's go with a former Michigan tight end.
04:56Had a really good rookie year for the Bears.
04:58Colston Loveland.
05:00Can they do 101?
05:01Colston won.
05:02I don't think they're allowed to do that.
05:04Because McBride got 99.
05:06Yeah.
05:06He's the highest rated.
05:07So Colston Loveland, I'll go 84.
05:11Okay.
05:12I'm going to go 85 for Colston Loveland.
05:14I was going to go higher because I was just, I mean, I was so thrown off by McBride being
05:18a 99.
05:19I was going to put Colston Loveland at 90.
05:23David with the bingo.
05:24It is 84 overall.
05:26Woo.
05:26It's close.
05:28Should have been higher.
05:29Purdy's 85.
05:30Let's go with a former disgruntled Lions running back, David Montgomery.
05:35Ooh.
05:36Oh boy.
05:3663.
05:38Wow.
05:39You're going 63?
05:41No.
05:41I was about to say, it can't be your real guess.
05:47I'm going to say, I'm going to say 78.
05:54I was going to go 80.
05:5783 overall for David Montgomery.
06:00Okay.
06:01It's too high.
06:03That's not too high.
06:04You may end up missing him.
06:07The Lions will end up missing him.
06:09I like his Instagram.
06:10And he was like, you're going to miss me when I'm gone.
06:13So just for fun, I thought I'd throw in some rookies because those are like the hardest
06:16to sort of gauge what they're going to be.
06:18Yeah.
06:18So U of M great, Reuben Bain Jr.
06:23You can't say U of M.
06:25I'm going to say U of M.
06:26In this territory.
06:28Miami.
06:28Miami University, Hurricanes.
06:30The U.
06:31The U.
06:31Play for the national title.
06:32Remember seeing him block him?
06:35See, I'm really out of touch with my college football lately.
06:39Transfer portal is going out of control.
06:41See, I'm used to being in Florida where U of M means Miami.
06:43Nope.
06:44U of M means Michigan.
06:45It really doesn't.
06:49Shout out Montana.
06:50Reuben Bain, I'll go 76.
06:53Okay.
06:54Where did he end up?
06:55He went to the 15th overall to the Buccaneers.
06:58I'm going to say rookie 70.
07:02I was going to say 79.
07:04A little above David.
07:06Brendan's the closest.
07:07He's an 80 overall.
07:09One of the highest rookies in the game.
07:11Wow.
07:14So no Jeremiah Love.
07:17He's not higher.
07:18One more, one more, one more.
07:19One more?
07:19Okay.
07:20One of the guys that I think had a really good rookie year.
07:23He won defensive rookie of the year.
07:24I think he's only going to become better.
07:26Carson Swessinger.
07:28Linebacker for the Browns.
07:29Yeah, I'm going to go 90.
07:32Yeah, I'm going to say 92.
07:3691.
07:37I'm giving love to a Browns player.
07:38Well, you guys are all overshot of the bid.
07:40I think they're putting the kibosh.
07:42Okay, 83.
07:44Right on the money, Rico.
07:46He's 83 overall.
07:47Okay.
07:48Apparently, you don't want to give Browns players their props too much.
07:50Good for them.
07:51Good for them.
07:52Shadour?
07:53Nah, we'll get to that.
07:55Thanks, Paul.
07:56That's your Madden Ratings 97.1.
08:00Thanks, Paul.
