Nick Wright GOES OFF on Lakers "fake" NBA Bubble title, NFL Hall of Fame BOLD PREDICTIONS

we have a ton we're gonna get to. I have to help out my buddy Daryl Morey because he is being misaggregated and a bit, and so we will discuss. However, the comments he did make. The comments, he's not being misquoted, but they are being slightly misconstrued. We will get to that. Also, Hall of Fame game tonight, So who are the no doubt Hall of famers playing? When you got to keep in making the NFL Hall of Fame, it's the hardest Hall of Fame to make, and so it's fewer people

than you think. And that actually when we do that, that's one that you guys, if you're watching live on YouTube and like, rate, subscribe, review on YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, all that stuff. If you're watching live on YouTube, you can help along because we'll go team by team and if you think there is someone that I have overlooked, and we do this once a year, and there's always at least one guy who's a no doubter or that I just like, Forget exists or Forget is still playing

and not retired. So you guys can help us create our official list. So we're gonna do all of that. There's some other fun things we're going to do as well. Demand's a great to see you as always. It looks like a new hoodie mate possibly or just one I don't recognize either.

war and they want to stake out some ground. But they might be also I'm not gonna get to been out of shape over Front Office Sports is Exclusive, which was what we told you guys on Tuesday about that. What I said on TV on Monday and then on this show on Tuesday about the Maverick Lebron Jokers agents meeting, that it was not about Lebron playing for the Nuggets, it was about the league that Maverick is attempting to

put together. That's fine, you know what I mean. They got some details in it that I didn't not that I was not, you know, able to share. So there's no issue there. But that is a real thing, and that is something unequivocally to watch. Also, evidently cam Ward Demanse, your guy, called the Titans offense very mid. I've also decided cam Ward's your guy. I just feel like yeah, I just feel like, yeah, I think he's your guy. And evidently Tom Cruise not on a day armists or dating.

I love Tom Cruise, I'm not as familiar with on

a day armis. Uh. Good for them. I wish them nothing but happiness, all right, Before we get to Darryl Morey's actual comments, what he actually meant, and for the one million time relitigating the bubble, there was a story yesterday that was in the Sports World demonse that I don't want to give myself too much credit, but I think I might be the single best person in the world to discuss this topic, and that was Gilbert A Reenus along with five alleged Israeli gangsters, getting himmed up

by the FEDS for running any illegal Southern California poker game. So I am going to be and maybe even take demons off the screen for this because I want to be very careful with what I say here. But I also feel like I have real insight, some of which I can share, some of which I can't. And just people that watch and listen to the pod, you know, I owe you honesty, and I also try to educate

as best as I can. So I know Gilbert's already you know, made bail, and I think if you read that again, if you didn't read the story, it is the allegation is very simple that there was a high stakes poker game in southern California at a house Gilbert rented. They took a rake. If people don't know how you know private games work it, you know a rake is the house's cut out of every hand, so it is

it is totally legal. If me and everyone involved in this pod came over to our house in New York and we played poker for ten dollars a man, or for ten thousand or a million dollars a man. That's actually totally legal. There is nothing illegal about playing card game with friends or associates for any amount of stakes, as long as you don't take a rake. The moment the house starts taking a cut, it becomes by literal definition,

and illegal gambling operation. So that is what they are attempting in theory, to get Gilbert and these five Israeli again alleged gangsters for.

going on for real money. On any given night in southern California, there's at least thirty going on for real money, and they all fit this exact description. Catered food, a level of you know, for those who that's their thing, potential sex work, real money on the table, and the house taking a big cut. And these are they Also there are a couple app games that where people are raking tens of thousands of dollars a month. Okay, and

this is not new, and this is not news. And this also and this is where I would be a little anxious. And I know his latest post made it seem like he is not where I would be a little anxious if I were Gilbert. These are not things the FEDS tend to care about. Now, occasionally these games get shut down by the DEA because security or somebody there is dealing drugs. And occasionally these get shut down because the sex work component gets raises to the level

where people are worried about exploitation. But as far as the actual illegal gambling operation, it's not usually something that

the FEDS are interested in. So the fact that they were leads me to think there is somebody one of these other you know, alleged code conspirators, or somebody above one of them, that they are hoping to get some information on and so I am here to tell you my call it semi educated opinion is Gilbert's path out of this is going to be an uncomfortable one because I don't think the Feds really want Gilbert Arenas to go to jail for allegedly renting a house and part

of where a big card game was playing. I think the Feds probably want to know about the other people involved. That's a tricky spot. And so I saw Gilbert's post today, I'm glad he's out. I also think Gilbert has done a really cool job post career of building a new career and obviously his son who was dealt with some injuries, you know, and some scary stuff. But as a star basketball player, Gilbert seems to have a ton of great

stuff going for him. I I do not think this story is anywhere close to being over, and I don't think we can revisit it. They said trial set for September. Wonder if it ever gets to trial. I don't think that this is going to be a simple, oh, all right, slap on the wrist situation, and so I would be I'd be. I'm a little nervous talking about it. But again, there is there's some target from the federal government involved in this. And it ain't no Chill Gill for running

a card game allegedly, I promise you that. But they clearly think he can help not the spot you want to be in. So I I will say one other, one other thing, demanse and then all because this obviously was going around all of the you know, gambling groups, you know this story or whatever, and somebody somebody that you know what, I apologize. I'm not going to tell

this little anecdote. I'm not going to I'll tell I'll maybe tell you off the air, but it was there were if you were a if you're a well, put it like this. If you're a gambler and you read the people who got arrested, Gilbert wasn't the only name that you were like, oh wow, so they got him? Like there there was, It was there. So it's I just I think there and I also think there's probably some people other than Gilbert that are a little anxious

right now in that southern California home game scene. All right, now, let's get to act on more things I'm an expert in, which is Lebron James Championships go ahead.

their social team to post, you know, end quotes. Everyone I speak to around the league privately agrees that it doesn't truly hold up as a genuine championship, with the source being the Athletic So I'm going to read you. So I reached out to Daryl, and not surprisingly, he explained to me what I thought was going to be the case, which is, while he wasn't misquoted, it is being misinterpreted. So I'll read you the full quote and clarify, and but then I'll also give you my thoughts on

what everybody seems to think. All right, Daryl says, quote, had the Rockets won the title, I absolutely would have celebrated it as legit, jitimate, knowing the immense effort and resilience required. Yet everyone I speak to around the league privately agrees that it doesn't truly hold up as a genuine championship. Pause for a moment. The privately agrees is

what is tripping people up. He is saying everyone he talks to agrees amongst themselves, Like he is the outlier that says this was an amazing accomplishment, but everybody else says not so much. Where people are saying, and I actually understand why people are confused. They are reading it as everyone privately agrees with me. He's saying, everyone privately agrees with each other, and so just to and again, Darrel is my pal, But I also you know, he

deserves to have his actual opinion out there correctly. He then went on say, this lasting legacy the NBA bubble is that the NBA should be proud of its leadership at both the beginning and the end of pandemic, even though the champion will forever be marked by an asterisk. And he again is saying there because that's the way seemingly everyone else feels. And so here is I said to you guys a couple months ago that the vast majority of NBA myths fall into one of two categories.

Not all, but the vast majority. Category one is uplifting Michael Jordan, and category two is tearing down Lebron James. And there is no greater example of that than the revisionist history on the Goddog bubble. So here is the accurate timeline of the Los Angeles Lakers winning the twenty

twenty NBA Championship. Okay. In twenty eighteen, Lebron James was universally hailed as by a wide margin, the best player in the NBA, dragging a Cleveland Cavalier team to the NBA Finals with a playoff run that had an all time record eight forty point games, two true buzzer beaters, two game seven victories, one of which on the road, and what some consider the single greatest individual performance any players ever had fifty one to eight and eight in

game one of the twenty eighteen NBA Finals, where with no other because Kevin Love was not was had gotten banged up the end of the Celtics series with no one around him against Steph kd Clay Draymont. That's who

Lebron was in twenty eighteen. In twenty nineteen, he goes to the Los Angeles Lakers, who were in the midst of the worst half decade stretch in the history of their franchise, and is playing a game on Christmas Day when they are a top four as drug that team to a top four seed in the West and suffers the first major injury of his career. But at that moment, there was still no argument and no debate over who

the best player in the world was. That offseason, they acquire Anthony Davis and instantly become the best the best team in the league. That Lakers team, pre pandemic, pre bubble prey with ad started the year twenty four and three, was running rough shot over everyone. Lebron James was the leading NBA MVP candidate, and they were the favorite to win the championship pre pandemic. So what we had was the Lakers had the best record in basketball, The Lakers

had the best player in basketball. The Lakers had made the biggest trade an acquisition of any team that offseason with respect to what the Clippers had done, and they were the favorites to win the championship. The season then

shuts down post shutdown, or right before the shutdown. Yeahs had you know, really gone on an unbelievable run, And the NBA MVP debate came down to two guys, Giannis or Lebron with hardened kind of lurking because Harden had made the Key and Westbrook thing work and that team

seemed dangerous. And then we get to the bubble, and there is no home court which penalized two teams more than any which were the two teams that had earned home court advantage Lebron's team and Giannie's team, Lebron's team which won the West by four games, and Janice's team,

which won the East by four games. And then the bubble happens, and the playoff bracket is set, and every single potential pitfall or matchup that people are convinced is a bad matchup or the toughest possible path hits the Lakers. We can now pretend it did not happen, but Dame and Portland were the scary team that nobody wanted to face in Round one, and the Lakers drew them with no home court advantage, and after losing Game one, dispatched

of them in five. Then the Rockets with the one year Harden and Westbrook worked that Rockets team with James Harden being third and MVP voting that year and Russ the last actual really good season of his career on a at least that involved winning It's Round two. The Lakers get the Rockets and they lose Game one and

then dispatch of them in five. And then you get the Denver Nuggets with a healthy Jamal Murray, who would not lose another playoff series with a healthy Jamal Murray four years, and Anthony Davis plays the best basketball of his life, Lebron James in a closeout game goes thirty eight, sixteen, and ten, and they dispatch of the Nuggets in five.

And then in the NBA Finals, oh, they get a fluke of a team that definitely wouldn't have made the finals if not for the Bubble, the Miami Heat, who responded by the way to that finals trip by two years later making Game seven of the conference finals, and the year after that making the NBA Finals again, and in those finals, Lebron James plays close to perfect basketball, reminding people once again that he's still the best player in the world when he averaged thirty twelve and nine

on fifty nine to forty two splits to finish off a playoff run where again the best player in the world, Lebron James averaged for the postseason twenty eight eleven and nine on fifty six percent from the field. That team won the championship. And then how did they defend their title when the bubble was done? The next season they

started twenty one and six. Well they I mean they started actually eleven to three, and they had the best record in basketball or in the Western Conference was maybe the Western Conference or basketball the day Solomon Hill stumbled into Lebron's ankle and he got hurt. So before the pandemic, they were the best team in the league with the

best player in the league. During the pandemic, they had home their home court advantage they had earned taken from them and got what people were calling at the time a nightmare path. Damon one Harden and rust In round two, Joker and Jamal Murray in round three and dust them all in five in the finals. People think, oh, they got lucky, they don't have to face Yeah, honest, they don't have to face. I think Toronto was actually the

two seed that year. That would have been no problem, and they got this fluke of a team in Miami, except for the fact that Miami a couple of years later beat Milwaukee again and came within a jump shot of going back to the finals, and then the next year did go back to the finals and the best player in the world played peak basketball, and then the next season they start twenty one and six. The idea that the wrong champion was crowned, the idea that that

was an easy or fraud or lesser path win. The only basketball, tangible basketball thing that was altered was no one had home court, and so the only tangible damage that was done to any of the teams were the teams that would have had home court throughout, and that was the Los Angeles Lakers. And every single person watching knows that if the Milwaukee Bucks, who were the one seed and had the league MVP, it's like the Lakers, who were the one seed and had the second or

the runner up for League MVP. If the Bucks had won that title, there's not a person in the world that would be like fake title. If the I don't even know if the Warriors made the playoffs that year. I don't think they did. Certainly, though, if the Clippers with Kawhi and Paul George instead of absolutely mortifyingly folding against Denver, had won the title, no one be calling it a fake title, because ultimately that discussion is not

about how real or fake a title is. That discussion is about dis either dislike or jealousy of Lebron James. And now our chat says seventy nine percent say yes, the Bubble title is legit. Our chat probably skews a little Lebron and Laker fan heavy, but you cannot say that the team with the bat record and the best player in the world with a very difficult path, who again, the team they beat in the conference finals validated their appearance there by winning a championship a couple of years later.

The team they beat in the NBA Finals validated their appearance there by making the finals a couple of years later. You cannot argue. And then they validated it themselves by being an awesome team the next year before Bron got hurt. It's just such horseship and deep down everybody knows it.

Trey Lance. I can't. I'm not signing up for the Shreveport Bossier City Advocation. Listen. I do support local news, but I can't pay for the Shreveport Bossier Advocate just to get this Trey Lance info.

And again they are. I might be being a little harsh because the rankings are actually Danny's rankings go Mahomes, Alan Burrow, Lamar, Herbert, Stafford, Jaden Goff, Baker, Hurts. So here's the when I say they're an abomination, here's what I mean, Or here's here's what's unfair about that. If he's simply flipped Hurts and Herbert, they're totally legitimate ranking, And that's not I'm not saying that's how I would

have it one through ten. But if it went Mahomes, Alan Burrow, Lamar, Hurts, Stafford, Jaden Goff, Baker, Herbert, that's fine, Like there's nothing crazy about that. But having Justin Herbert ahead of Matt Stafford, Jaden Daniels, Jared Goff, Baker, Mayfield, and Jalen Hurts for nothing other than vibes it's just it's just ridiculous. And so now you demons, do you have an issue with people who put Burrow ahead of Lamar? No, I could.

So that is it's a weird because you can't argue as great as Burrow has been was in the regular season last year, a lot of the MVP voters, all pro voters, a lot of people thought Lamar was better. And then obviously the year before Lamar was better in the regular season. Is Burrow was hurt and wasn't that effective early and Lamar won league MVP, and so the knock on Lamar's postseason performances. But Burrow hasn't been in the postseason, So like that one I do think is a little.

it is still better than skipping the test. Like not showing up and so like you got you got more, you got some questions, right, and so like the and and so that's the so I listen, I don't think having Burrow ahead of Lamar is outrageous, but it's not what I would have And and then it starts getting you know, then we start figuring out where exactly do you have heard? And the Hurts ranking is really interesting.

And I tried to make this point on TV yesterday and I did it kind of ham handedly, which is Eagles fans right now. And I get it. They're feeling themselves. You won the chance Super Bowl, you should absolutely be thrilled, But they kind of want the best of both worlds. They want everyone to acknowledge how utterly stacked their roster is, how great, Howie Roseman's done, how good they are, you know,

in every way, shape and form. They want all of that, but they also don't want any of us to incorporate any of that into our evaluation of Jalen Hurts. Like they want everyone to bend the knee that they have the best overall roster in football by a mile, but also pretend like we think Jalen Hurts is carrying just a regular team. And so now I think Hurts has been clearly excellent in huge spots, and I think Hurts I think having Hurts ten like Danny did is too

you know, a bridge too far. But I also think that it is you view it differently than if Josh Allen had won the Super Bowl last year with the team he had, Jalen winning it last year with the team he had. I just think there is some nuance there. Eagles fans, on the other hand, won us all to be like, you have the greatest roster in the league. It's Sakwan's a Hall of famer. How he drafts better than everyone, the best wide receiver duo, the best offensive line.

And I'll also Jalen Hurts got no help, like, which is the you're not gonna You're not gonna get that? All right, let's keep going.

team and try to do this. The Buffalo Bills, the Bills have zero sure fire Hall of Famers on defense and one and one only sure fire Hall of Famer on offense, and that's Josh Allen. And Josh was not a sure fire Hall of Famer prior to last year, but the unbelievable stats that now go along with a regular season MVP that puts him their hands down. Hands downs maybe wrong, but he's a Hall of Famer. So

we're at one for the Buffalo Bills. The Miami Dolphins have one sure fire Hall of Famer and that's Tyreek Kill. There is I think that ooh, this is interesting. This is interesting toa No too is not in two is not even anywhere close. No. I was thinking Minca MinC, but Minca Fitzpatrick is definitely not sure fire. And the the and let me just do something because the Dusty, if you're watching the First Things First Production Room, just tell Brew I'll talk to him about the Maury Lebron's story.

We should do it. Even though Darryl's slightly misquoted there. I'm getting a thousand texts on this group thread about everybody arguing about this because I I can't chime in because I'm doing this. Minca is Minca has had a very nice career and he's a three time All Pro, so he has a chance, but he's not sure fire. Tyreek is sure fire, and there is no one else

on the Dolphins that is anywhere close to it. All right, the Patriots, the Patriots have no one right like definitely right now, there's certainly no one on their offense and there is certainly no one on their defense. Now. Part of that's because the team's so young, so like that's not as you know, that's not a not to say the team has no talent or anything. But again, the exercise we're doing right now, is if they were to retire, are they in the Hall of Fame? Basically? And the

Jets are in a similar spot. So in the AFC East, the shore Fire, active Hall of famers are Josh Allen and Tyreek Kill the AFC North right now, the Cincinnati Bengals have zero. Now, jamar Is and Joe are on Hall of Fame trajectories, but they are not anywhere close to having established it, you know what I mean? Does that make sense? Like if they Jamar's got to do this for another five years, Joe has to do this for at least another four years plus get some type of He either has.

I said Flacco. Flacco's not gonna make it. He won the Super Bowl and he won the Super Bowl MVP, and he does have big counting stats. He's not making it. Miles Garrett, six time All Pro, over one hundred career sacks, a Defensive Player of the Year. He's obviously in the Steelers amazingly, Demons, I think you have maybe four. So the Steelers have as sure fire Hall of famers A Rogers and TJ. Watt. Those guys are locked, right Jalen Ramsey, who is on the Steelers now, I believe he is locked.

And then Cam Hayward, five time All Pro, seven time Pro Bowler, A Walter Peyton Man of the Year. I think he's getting in. So that is four future Hall of Famers on the Steelers, which is kind of crazy. Yeah, and are we the I mean it. So he's getting in. And then the Ravens. The Ravens have right now they have two with a couple guys who could get there or no, I'm sorry, I apologize. The Ravens have three with a couple guys who could get there. Lamar is

locked Henry. Derrick Henry is locked and DeAndre Hopkins is going to get there. So and then the guys who could but have a long way to go, Kyle Hamilton and Roquan Smith, but those are they have three locks, and Lamar Henry and Hopkins. All right, the Titans have nobody the there's not like an old player on that team that I'm forgetting. The nine Jeffreys. Jeffrey Simmons has a chance, but you know he's got a ways to go. So the Titans where he were done with easily. The Colts,

I feel like Quinton Nelson is getting in. Let me check his accolades. Quenton Nelson, five time All Pro, seven time Pro bowler. He's in. So the Colts do have one. Shout out Quinton Nelson. Jonathan Stewart's not gonna make it. DeForest Buckner is an underdog to make it, but they've got one in Quinton Nelson. The Jags have none, right, there's no one on the Jags I'm forgetting. Nope. And then the Texans, as far as guys that are already, they've already done enough. No one on offense, Joe Mixon's

not made it. Nick Chubb's not making it, and their defensive players are too young. Chauncey Gardner, Johnson's not making it. Stingley and Will Anderson, you know you've got miles to go. Danell Hunter is not quite that caliber. All right, Now to the AFC West and then we'll do We'll see where we're at on the whole AFC. The Broncos again, I think that Pat s or Tan is building quite the resume, but it's too early, and certainly no one on their offense is has done anything close to enough yet.

So the Broncos are out. The Chargers have no one on the offense, and defensively, Khalil Mack, I think he's in. Khalil Mack. Let me look at the career five time All Pro, nine time Pro Bowl, all decades. Yeah, one hundred and eight sacks defensive player er Khalil Max in Derwin James. As much as I like him, I don't think he's in yet. Uh So, four time All Pro, four time Pro Bowler, he probably needs a little bit more. The Raiders are true. The Raiders no one on offense obviously,

and Max hasn't done enough yet. Max is creating a Hall of fame resume, but he hasn't done enough yet. And then the chiefs. Mahomes is locked, Kelsey is locked, and Chris Jones is locked. And that's the list. So in the AFC, the following players are in the Hall of Fame. Josh Allen, Tyreek Kill, Miles Garrett, TJ. Watt, Jalen Ramsey, Cam Hayward, Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, DeAndre Hopkins, Quenton Nelson, Khalil Mack, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelcey, Chris Jones.

How many guys is that five? Fiften? It's fifteen, I think, So we've got fifteen with again, you know, Morgan Minka is probably not making it. And then Burrow Chase I would imagine make it, but we can't call him locks yet. Kyle Hamilton, Roquant Smith, Patzer, Tanderwin, James, Max Crossby. But fifteen locks. And this speaks to why making the Hall of Fame is so difficult in this league. So these guys are going to retire the you know, a couple of year coming up, and the only let five in

and then guys who are waiting. It's not five new spots, it's like two new spots it's really hard. All right, Let's go to the NFC. The as Cowboys that are Lock Hall of famers. Right now, it's none. Dak is not gonna make it, and Micah is a great bet to make it, but is too young, you know what I mean. Like, there's nobody from MICA's same draft classes.

Jamar Chase, he's in the exact same boat where you think that he has a really good chance to do it, but is the you know, and oh and Zach Martin's you know, their offensive line hall of famers are gone now. The Giants, I I don't think Russell's gonna make it. Dexter Lawrence needs to do a lot more, as is Brian Burns. I think Russell Wilson right now is on the outside looking in. The Eagles are really interesting because right now, Demons, the Eagles only have one absolute Lock

Hall of Famer in Lane Johnson. Their right tackle, Sequon is on track now, but needs a little bit more, you know what I mean, Like just because he hasn't had enough great seasons. Aj Brown I think is on track, and Jalen Hurts is on track. He's at he has an all Pro season, he has been to two super Bowls, he's won one. But the only guy on the Eagles that could retire today and get and be certain they're getting in is Lane Johnson and the Commanders. We already

said von Miller, and that's the only guy. Von Miller is a Hall of Famer. Oh no, that's not the only guy. I almost screwed that up. Bobby Wagner's definitely making it. They're inside linebacker Bobby Wagner's there's no question he's making it. So they're older guys and they're on their defense. But the Commanders have two. So uh and

I again, I am I'm not. I'm only saying guys that so that the only guy that I've said is a lock that I actually think might not na he Walter Pittman of The europe Carrier and Cam Heyward again, you gotta be very choosy with the locks. Friend of the show and host of I hope he doesn't mind me quoting him on this. I think the best daily NFL podcast there is, NFL Daily. Greg Rosenthal chimes in, Russell Wilson makes the Hall of Fame eventually, but not a Lock. Maybe I think he might need one more

little push, all right, so let's keep going. I just, I just he was on a great Hall of Fame trajectory post Seattle, but it's gone so badly for him since then. All Right, the Chicago Bears, I think Joe Toney is now in. Joe Tooney, who has what does he have? Three super bowls.

This is tough. I would Justin Jefferson is going to make the Hall of Fame, but he has he probably needs to be a lock for it. He probably needs two more years. I mean, he's a he's four time All Pro, four time Pro bowler, and an Offensive Player of the Year. It's close, but if you were to walk today, he's not in yet. But he is as we can put him in heavy ink. But I'm not gonna include him on the list yet just because he hasn't played quite long enough. Jonathan Allen's not a Hall

of Famer, so the Vikings don't have anyone. It's interesting right now, it seems like how many more? Yeah, so much of it demonte is because good teams are young, you know what I mean, Like they're not the Falcons. Jake Matthews is not a Hall of He's been there forever, but he's not a Hall of Famer. And you know, quality player forever not a Hall of Famer, and they obviously have no one on defense, unless I'm forgetting Jesse Bates is building a resume, but he's not there yet.

So the Falcons have nobody. The Saints have one who's going to be a Hall of Famer in Cam Jordan, I mean Cam Jordan. His sack numbers are insane, like the It's really interesting because he's never had like a twenty sax season. In fact, I don't even know if he's ever had a sixteen sax season. But he's got one hundred and twenty one sacks. He's making the Hall of Fame, and do Mario Davis is not, and that's obviously nobody on that. Alvin Kamara, yeah, I don't think

he's I don't think he's there. I think he is in the same boat sadly that my guy Jamal Charles is gonna be in awesome, but not quite there. And Harrison Smith, who Paul mentions two time All Pro, six Pro Bowls, is nice. Don't think he gets in. It's too hard. It's too hard man, all right. For the Bucks, I the Bucks have one one guy who at this point is a lock in Mike Evans and no one else. Oh, Levante David Is he gonna three time All Pro? No,

it's a great player, can't call it. Mike. Mike Evans is the one lock the Bucks have and the Panthers without looking I feel confident in saying the Panthers have nobody. So I mean Adam feeling very nice career, obviously not a Hall of Famer, and yeah, the Panthers have nobody. All right, Ram, this is an interesting one. I don't think Stafford is a lock, which means the Rams don't have any luck. Oh, sorry, DeVante Adams is a lock.

Davante's getting in, but Stafford again Stafford. Stafford versus Russ is gonna end up being an interesting one that gets debated. But I don't think Stafford's a lock. I think he will get in, but I would not bet my net worth on it. The Cardinals do they have anybody the Oh Kalayas Campbell. Gosh, I can't believe he's still in the league. He was in the eight draft class. So kalay Is Campbell one hundred and ten sacks, two time All Pro, but six time Pro Bowl and All Decade

and a Walter Payton man of the Year. He's getting in. Clay Is Campbell call him a lock. And now we're down to two teams. The Seahawks Cooper Cups not a Hall of Famer. They DeMarcus Lawrence is not a Hall of Famer. The Seahawks have nobody. And the forty nine Ers, who you know, lost a lot of their kind of veteran guys. I think the forty nine ers only have two locks. Well, no, they know they probably have three. Trent Williams is a definitive lock, Fred Warner a definitive lock,

and George Kittle's a lock. George Kittle's five time All Pro. So Trent, Warner and Kittle are locks. Nick Bosa has a chance and that's the end of it. So oh, I'm sorry. Christian McCaffrey obviously has a chance, but he's not in yet. Two you know he had it's just doesn't have enough healthy seasons. So here's what we've got in the NFC, Lane Johnson, Von Miller, Bobby Wagner, Joe Tooney, cam Jordan Mike Evans, DeVante Adams, Kaleis Campbell, Trent Williams,

Fred Warner, George Kittle. In the AFC, Josh Allen, Tyree Hill, Miles Garrett, TJ. Watt, Jalen Ramsey, Cam Hayward, Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, DeAndre Hopkins, Quenton Nelson, Khalil mcpatrick, Holmes, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones. So that means we have right now, you know, twenty five to thirty lock Hall of Famers. Justin Jefferson who is going to make it, Jamar Chase who I would be shocked if he doesn't make it. You know, Micah, Saquon Burrow are all in Root, Piney Sewell is in Root.

C mc needs one more great year, but it is it's just hard to make. Man, if you're waiting and you see these guys retiring, like, it's just hard to make the Hall of Fame. I hope that was interesting for the audience. I find it interesting. I love doing that. But in might.

All right, the monse, Let's jump down to the Shadoor conversation quickly here, because we spent so much time on the uh, the Hall of Fame stuff, we're not gonna be able to get to every single thing.

they need to get him. I talked a lot about how I thought there was too much discussion about Shador's personality and not enough discussion about his lack of arm talent, and I just didn't look at him as like a blue chip prospect. So I was not a Shatore guy. And now the however, because of where he is and the quarterbacks that he is competing with, I find myself feeling like they've got to start him at some point. Because here's the deal. Kenny Pickett is injured and not

an NFL quarterback. There is there is a zero percent chance Kenny Pickett is the Steeler's answer at quarterback. Zero percent. The Steelers, pardon me, there is a zero percent chance he wasn't The Steelers answer that Kenny Pickett is the Browns answer at quarterback, so cross him out. Joe Flacco is forty years old. There is a zero percent chance Joe Flacco is their long term answer at quarterback, so cross him out. Dylan Gabriel, sorry, and you're not gonna

like this, demase, he's too small. There is a zero percent chance Dylan Gabriel can be a nice backup, maybe a spot starter. There is a zero percent chance Dylan Gabriel is the Browns franchise quarterback three years from now, Shadoor, there is a five percent chance Shador is the Browns franchise quarterback. Got more than one, less than ten somewhere in there, when the other three guys are a combined

zero percent, and you're gonna be a terrible team. The moment you know you can start Flacco to start the year, but the moment that the year has gotten away from you, you gotta play Shador. And that's the other weird thing. Haslam was like Andrew picks the players, Stefanski sets the rock, you know, decide two plays, but then also said in that same SoundBite, obviously, both young guys need to play this year. I mean, Haslm's not the greatest, Donar just just flat like.
