Ready? Whether you're fading with Drew or riding with Kam, this is the place to get your weekly NFL Picks.

[00:00:16]

Everything you got.

[00:00:17]

Let's go. Hello and welcome to the Drew and Steu podcast. I'm Drew Livingstone. That's Kam Steuert. Kam, we're back. It's been a month since the Super Bowl. A lot of stuff has happened. We've had some time off, had some vacationing, had some other stuff going on in our lives. But we're back, and we're back where we're supposed to be, Kam, twice a week on SDPN.

[00:00:33]

Hey, I'm going to tell you, first of all, shout out to the guys at Sdpn and everybody I work for. Been through a lot, Drew, but you know what? It's great to be back with you, and we're going to have a great time. We got hockey pics, we got basketball futures, we got golf, we got everything. If it moves, you can bet on it. We got you covered.

[00:00:47]

Let's rock. Except for pickleball, are you an American pickleball tour guy?

[00:00:51]

I'm going to be honest with you.

[00:00:52]

Apt is not good enough for you?

[00:00:53]

I used to mock pickleball and say it's for losers, but the older I get, pickleball looks like it's going to be a strong thing in my future if I could still Dude, it's like as soon as you hit 40, it's like, oh, I actually want to play this sport. It's like that's a- Have you tried playing tennis? I've tried playing tennis. I'm literally going to be turning 50 pretty soon. So it kills you.

[00:01:11]

Tennis is too much running.

[00:01:11]

Yeah, and your joints. You know what I mean? I'm just like, Oh, man. And I'm like, Drew, that's the thing. I'm going to join Wreck Hockey, but there's a lot of frustrating guys who just basically want to... They're having problems with their lives and children. I can't go to a Wreck Hockey game and get my teeth knocked out or some guy break my neck. That's the whole problem. There's a lot of angry people out there. I'm like, I'm not doing this anymore.

[00:01:31]

I had a teammate last week take a high stick on the first shift right to his face. Stitches all here. And the guy was like, I didn't even touch him. He didn't touch me as he's gushing blood.

[00:01:39]

Come back to the wife and kids. Hey, honey, I'm back from Wreck Hockey. Are you kidding me?

[00:01:44]

It's people chirping people that wear cages. It's like, no, man, I just want to protect my face. I'm too old for this shit. It's not worth it. All right, so we're going to go over the NFL offseason moves that we missed while we were gone. I'll give you some golf pics for the Valspar Championship, and then we're going to do a bracket NCAA March Madness Bracket Live on the show. We'll give you our sleeper pics, and we'll build the bracket live, and then I'm going to put a link in the description for the viewers to join our Bracket pool and compete with us. And maybe me and Cam will give something away once the Bracket's done to the winner. Maybe you can appear on the show. Maybe we'll give you a little gift card. We'll find out what that is at the end, Cam. We're going to be an extreme disadvantage because everyone's going to see our Bracket. They can just pick differently on purpose. Exactly. If we win this thing, the viewers should be embarrassed.

[00:02:23]

Dude, you came throwing at me. I just had futures and stuff. I didn't know we were doing the whole thing. That's the mystery of the show. By the way, Drew, maybe you can give them a meat certificate. I know your family runs probably the best meat I've ever had.

[00:02:34]

Well, yeah, but if they live in fucking Arizona, they're like, Hey, can't wait to go to Toronto.

[00:02:38]

Anyway, Drew, you and Dangle are the guys. You figure out the money part because my wallet's empty. Cobwebs.

[00:02:45]

What do you mean? You said you were going to give the winner 500 bucks of your money, you said, or something.

[00:02:48]

Quickly, before we get to anything, this is my luck. I have Wyndam Clark at 50 to want to win that golf tournament. That put on the 18th.

[00:02:55]

I told the story of the year. Hey, to be fair, he's a frigging cheater, Cam. Mr. Stompy McStomper. When he's dropping the ball.

[00:03:01]

The old Patrick Reid move, that's older than time.

[00:03:04]

He's like, Should I drop it here? No, I'm going to drop it maybe over here. Oh, maybe. I don't know. Rory does it, too.

[00:03:09]

I watched Rory. Like, these PGA guys, you need guys to follow them around. I'm looking at balls go over the water. I'm like, That ball is like 100 yards back where the water line was. What are you doing? They need better. You know what, Drew? They need tougher rules, and they need rules officials with Stones. These guys need to have nuts. I don't care who you are or if you're going to get bullied. They're changing tournaments with these outcomes and stuff. But anyway. A hundred %. That defied gravity, that hole there, Drew. But the good news is, I had a couple of... I told you, guys, if Shoffly is ever in contention, bait him. So I put some money on Scheffler and Harmon just to get out.

[00:03:41]

Shoffly was the only guy I had I bet on in the top five. I was like, Oh, I got Xander. And then bogey, bogey, 14, 15. I was like, this fucking guy.

[00:03:49]

He does it every time, bro. He never wins it. When he needs to call- And then on 18, Cam, he's got to put it close for a chance for Birdie.

[00:03:54]

And this guy plays it safe to the right side of the green. I was like, oh, so you just want your second place paycheck. You're not even going for first. He didn't want to put in the water and- I've learned my lesson.

[00:04:04]

You don't back him on Sundays. It's that simple. If he beats us, he beats us. I'm done.

[00:04:10]

I hate coward plays. Really, you're going to play it safe on 18 because you want that extra 200 grand or whatever.

[00:04:16]

He wouldn't have thought you'd have won that tournament. He went four away. His putter was awful during the final round. But anyway, we move on. Another second, Drew. I think you've witnessed me. Every time I bet, I have the second-place guy, but that's pretty good.

[00:04:28]

And you always got the guy leading on Saturday. You're like, Oh, I got the guy who's in first, and then they just fucking blow it.

[00:04:32]

That's the way it is. If golf was a two or three-round tournament, I'd be rich. But anyway, four rounds.

[00:04:36]

All right, let's get into the NFL offseason moves, Kam. We'll start with the biggest one, Kirek Cousins, the Minnesota Viking himself, going to Atlanta, signing a huge contract, the Falcons' Kam. I like what they're doing. Kirek Cousins is going to make this team a lot better. A lot of people hate on Kirek Cousins' Kam. I think it's undeserved. Sure, he screws up in primetime games. He hasn't been the payoff performer. But man, this Atlanta football team, I think they got the inside track to win division now.

[00:05:00]

Great call, Drew. I already liked him before, even if one of their bad quarterbacks. And I thought Justin Fields, when we were talking about him going to Atlanta, I love the Falcons. Great call by you. You know what, Drew? You're an astute person. A lot of people, the problem with the internet, it has full of morons and guys who don't understand the game. Kirek Cousins, you give him any bit of time, he will shred you and carve you up. He is one of the best accurate passers. He hits guys long ball. This team didn't have much of a running game. Dalvin Cook was hurt all the time. I know they have Jefferson. I know they have Dielen. But the problem was their offensive line was banged up, too. Kirek Cousins is great. Atlanta is a young team. If you protect this guy, you're going to go nuts. You got B. Jean Robinson now, a year into it. You got Wickenwide receiver, Drake London, all sorts of great young players.

[00:05:43]

I'll tell you, they'll use Kyle Pitz for once now with Kyle Cousins there.

[00:05:46]

That's for sure. Yes. And Kyle Pitz is like that currency that you have. We know how good he can be, Drew. We watched his kid in college. We thought he could be one of the best tight ends ever. This guy is now going to be great.

[00:05:56]

Picked him in the top 10, I didn't use him. Just don't use him.

[00:05:58]

It's insane to me. Hey, they fired the coach for a reason. Arthur Smith was a stooge. And I'm going to tell you, Atlanta is going to draft defense and offensive line help for Cousins because they got a lot of weapons, Drew. Watch out for the Falcons. In two years, I think they're going to be big time Super Bowl competitors.

[00:06:13]

I think they could win the division this year, Cam. I don't believe in Baker Mayfield and the Bucaneers despite his big contract extension. I don't believe in the Saints and Derek Carr. I know everyone loves the Saints. Carr is awful.

[00:06:22]

He's brutal. You're mocking Cousins. Have you watched Derek Carr play? We went out a couple of times this year.

[00:06:28]

I'm like- Carr is the biggest He's regressed. He's like the most overrated quarterback I've ever seen. Everyone's like, Oh, Carr is so good. Carr is so good. And you actually watch him and you're like,. He's not good. I don't know how he gets... He got that rep, though, that everyone thinks he's good. All right, well, Cam, what do you think of Sam Darnold to Minnesota? That's their Eric Cousins' replacement. There's rumors they might trade up to number four and draft JJ McCarthy, which I think would be a terrible mistake because you're going to waste your two first-round picks to move up and get a guy who's arguably shouldn't be a starter in the NFL. Do you think JJ has got what it takes to be a starter?

[00:06:58]

This is where we disagree. I think JJ McCarthy, a lot of people just, they look at him and go, wow, he doesn't have the flash. But Drew, take a look at the winning percentage of McCarthy, every big game with Michigan. And no, no, no. Like final drive. And he's also a very good athlete. People don't remember he played hockey. Hey, this is the whole problem again. People listen to reports and this and that. Mccarthy is a damn winner. And in football, you know how many games are decided within three points.

[00:07:22]

So you would mortgage two first-time No, I would not.

[00:07:23]

I would not do that. I'm not an idiot. But I would say, whatever, if McCarthy's around at Anything past eight and you need a quarterback, I would take him. I'm not mortgaging the future for him.

[00:07:35]

Daniel Jeremiah, who's the lead NFL Scout for NFL Network, he said today that he believes Minnesota is trading up to number four to get JJ McCarthy. And he thinks the first four picks in the draft are going to be all quarterbacks. Number five, the Jets are going to get Marvin Harrison Jr.

[00:07:48]

Interesting. Well, what about... Yeah, so Arizona, they would have had Marvin Harrison Jr, probably. And I've also heard... I'm going to tell you something, Drew, crazy on the show. That's why people, we should tune in. We don't have... Sometimes Sometimes we got freezer takes, but sometimes the takes are pretty hot. I'm going to tell you, Brock Bauer from Georgia is just, in my opinion, the most dynamic player in the draft. He did things and people were like, Oh, the Georgia Bulldogs. Yeah, they've done it with different quarterbacks. When this guy is on the field, he is absolutely amazing. I know Marvin Harrison. I love him, too. But I'm going to tell you, Brock Bowers, I think, might have a better career than Marvin Harrison. That's my take.

[00:08:24]

That's a hot take, Cam. It's a hot take. I think he could beat him for Rooky of the Year, maybe, depending where Harrison ends up, but I don't know about... Can you imagine Marvin Harrison, he ends up on the Jets with Garrett Wilson and Aaron Rodgers? Or sorry, Vice President Aaron Rodgers, who may not be playing quarterback because he might be running for Vice President. What the hell is going on with this guy, Cam?

[00:08:40]

Honestly, I feel sorry for the Jets. It's going to Can you imagine mortgaging your team around a player, and then you're like, Oh, actually, he may not play because he might be running for vice president.

[00:08:50]

What?

[00:08:50]

What world are we in? Rogers. He's doing mushrooms. He's doing this, doing that. He's doing everything but talking about football. And you know what? I told you this move was going to disaster from the start, and I was right on that take.

[00:09:03]

Yes, you were. They did get Tyrone Smith, though, to protect his left side, which is a good signing for the Jets because they couldn't protect him at all, as evidence in the first game of the season. All right, next move. Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, both to the Pittsburgh Stealers. Cam, you love this for the Stealers. I love this for the Stealers. Mike Tomlin is constantly above 500. Now he's got two quarterbacks to compete for the job. Tell me why you love this so much.

[00:09:25]

I love it so much. It's like me and you walking into a bank, robbing them. They We got everything there, and the cameras don't work that day. The emergency button to the cops, it's disconnected, and we're gone, and nobody knows who the hell we are. They stole. They got a quarterback for nothing. And Denver is paying for Russell. You pick up Russell Wilson on that price, I don't care. He still grinded a little bit with Denver. I know he's not the best.

[00:09:48]

Yeah, he wasn't bad at all last year for them.

[00:09:49]

But you got Justin Fields now, too. And the one thing about the Steelers is, I don't care. All they have to tell Justin Fields is no stupid mistakes. Our defense will get the ball back for you in in good positions, and we will take points. If I was a Steeler fan, I talked to one of them nightly on our show, Dave Shera Pan. He used to be a Las Vegas bookmaker. These guys are smiling ear to ear. He's still gitty. They didn't have to pay anything for these quarterbacks, Drew. The Pittsburgh Steelers, A plus plus for what they've done for nothing.

[00:10:17]

Kam, they got more in return for Kenny Picket from Philly than they had to give away for Justin Fields. It doesn't even make sense.

[00:10:22]

I rest your case.

[00:10:23]

Chicago really screwed this up, Kam.

[00:10:25]

Chicago screws up everything. They threw DJ more in a deal where they didn't even need to throw in a player. But that's the bears for you.

[00:10:32]

God, he's good. Well, no, they got DJ more. That was good.

[00:10:34]

No, no, no. I mean, oh, sorry. That was Carolina. Sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been a while. Anyway, the bear screw up a lot. Can we agree with that?

[00:10:40]

Yeah. I feel like if they traded him earlier, they could have got a lot more for him, and they waited until everybody else had their quarterback. They're like, You know what? Okay, let's take this nonsense from Pittsburgh. Cam, I was right. I told you they'd go for Caleb Williams. Well, it didn't make sense to keep Justin Fields. You were on the fields train, but what an offense they're going to have. Keenan Allen, DJ Moore, they signed- We'll see, The jury, this is the whole beautiful thing about the NFL.

[00:11:02]

Oh, this guy is going to be great. Next year, Mac Jones, what a steal by the Patriots. He sucks. And I'll tell you another thing, there's no guarantees. Caleb Williams is amazing. And the reason why teams like him, because he's a lot like Mahomes Jr. He has the moves, the sidearm passes and stuff. But the difference is Mahomes is an animal. He will break his leg and continue to play. I know Williams was hurt and he came back, but I get it. I would draft him first, too. I'm a big Daniels guy because I watch a lot of LSU Tiger football. I think he's amazing. In my opinion, I think he is the best quarterback, but that's just me. I'm on an island, but I think Williams would be good. But Drew, I'm really worried. There's one thing. His injuries in college were pretty... He got banged up a lot. Nfl is a tough game.

[00:11:46]

I'm seeing a lot of comparisons Cam to Andrew luck, the way he plays the style. And I think that's a good comparison better than Mahomes.

[00:11:51]

Luck's bigger. Luck's more thicker, but I agree with that.

[00:11:53]

No, but I mean, the way he throws it, he didn't have the strongest arm, and he was still mobile. He was more mobile. He's more mobile Patrick Mahomes, we can agree on that, right? Yeah.

[00:12:01]

You know what it is, though? When Mahomes is a third and 14 and he finds a thing, it's almost like he has a special switch or whatever. In an ordinary... He's just magical.

[00:12:12]

He's unstoppable. Yeah, he's the best courtback in football. It's different. You can't compare the guy to that. So who do you think has a better career then? Let's say right now, Caleb Williams or Trevor Lawrence, who's been a rough go in Jackson last year.

[00:12:22]

I think Trevor Lawrence will have a better career. Really? Yeah. I know that's an unpopular take right now. I don't know what happened to Lawrence. Drew, I really hope he can get hurt. I know you're a Clemson guy. And just the problems that he had, let's call it out for what is my opinion, I think he was playing with severe injuries, not just bad ones. I mean, he should have not been playing.

[00:12:42]

Well, I mean, he injured his leg and they made him walk back to the locker room.

[00:12:45]

I use this story a lot, but remember what happened with Robert Griffin III now on ESPN against the Seahawks? Shana and then the coaching staff ended his career. He literally had one leg. Seattle kept on like, they don't want to end his career, but they're hitting him. It's a playoff game. They're tackling him.

[00:12:58]

You're not going to not hit the quarterback.

[00:12:59]

He was never the same after that game. Never.

[00:13:03]

Yeah. All right, Cam. Well, who do you think starts to make a call right now? Russell Wilson or Justin Fields? Who takes Snap number one? I think Wilson takes it. I think Tomlin will trust Wilson more. That's correct. And I think they'll move to Fields if something goes wrong.

[00:13:14]

The thing is, actually, I'm going to... Drew, you bring up good points again. Wilson will get first and second. They're going to have so many damn packages for Fields. That's the thing. They're going to basically have a playbook for two quarterbacks, and that would make- It'll be like the Marriota nonsense in Philly.

[00:13:26]

Remember when he was there?

[00:13:27]

Yeah, but the difference is, Fields runs way faster Marriota, right? Yeah. Actually, Marriota makes more mistakes in fields. Can we agree on that?

[00:13:34]

Oh, way more. 100 %. Marriota sucks. There we go. The best play of his career was a pass to himself by actually... All right, Cam. Sam Howell, your Washington Commander's quarterback, who you think it's pretty good. I think he's trash, but he signs with the Seahawks. There we go. I don't know what's going on with the quarterback in the Seattle Seahawks camp. I don't even know why they did this move. What's going on in Seattle?

[00:13:54]

First of all, what's going on in Seattle is they're slowly and surely making very small moves that nobody's paying attention to on the offensive line inside. They had nothing to do, nothing to risk with Sam Howell, who's a young quarterback. Drew, I'm not going to tell you he's great, but when you give up, just switch draft picks and basically get a free quarterback who's young, they can see what they got in him. Okay, this is actually me and Gabe were talking about this, Ar'Shia. So some team's going to get May, that quarterback from North Carolina. Howell, quarterback from North Carolina. They're the same guy. They're both going to go the first round. I'm like, Yeah, okay, we'll see. I'm just going to tell you this, the guy is young.

[00:14:28]

Give him a much. Do you think Drake May is the same level as Sam Howell.

[00:14:31]

I think Sam Howell had actually... He's tougher and has more... May has more, I would say tools. I think Howell is a lot tougher, and I think Howell is more of a gamer. That's my opinion.

[00:14:42]

Well, whoever draughts Drake May is going to be pissed if that's the case, Cam, because you I'm going to take a guy second overall and have him, in comparison, be Sam Howell.

[00:14:48]

Sam Howell was a first-round draft pick, was he not?

[00:14:51]

No.

[00:14:51]

Where did he go?

[00:14:53]

I think he was a sixth-round camp. He definitely wasn't first-round.

[00:14:57]

Sam Howell is not a sixth-round quarterback.

[00:14:59]

You Where do you think he was picked? I'm bringing it up right now.

[00:15:02]

Maybe third?

[00:15:04]

Sam Howell, draft profile. He was picked. Round five, pick number one.

[00:15:09]

You win this argument again, Drew. I'm going to have to apologize to you. I thought he was a lot better than that. Sorry. I just don't think Dre, I know. I think May is the most overrated. Everyone thinks McCarthy.

[00:15:19]

Do you take McCarthy over May? If you had to pick one or the other? Kam, right, I would. Whoa. Okay, Kam. That's a bold statement. Kam likes Twitter.

[00:15:28]

Nfl guys are going to watch this show and go, You're an idiot. And I really don't care. Because the thing about this is you can go to all the combines and do all this stuff. You have to see, I almost want a grinder type of quarterback. I'm already worrying about Deion standard saying, Oh, my kids are going to play in the snow. It's very golden color. Well, have you gone to the NFL and played in Lambo field? You know what I mean?

[00:15:49]

I hate that. The only thing I agree with that is you want a guy with big hands. I know that when it comes to cold weather, because he can hang on to the ball more. All right, Cam, let's move on to the receiver Hollywood Brown to the Chiefs, Curtis Samuel to the Bills, Gabe Davis to the Jaguars, and Calvin Ridley surprising everybody. They were like, Oh, it's Jags or Patriots. And then bam, Titans come out of nowhere, give them a huge deal. They're building around Will Levis, Cam. They got Hopkins and Calvin Riddon now. Pretty good duo. What was your favorite signing of those four? I mean, Hollywood Brown to the Chiefs is probably no brainer, right?

[00:16:19]

Yeah, it is. And the rich just get richer. They pick up a receiver with speed. It just opens up- It wasn't an expensive for them. I know. The Chiefs are just honestly, they wake up in the room and they've almost had energy drinks. Well, it seems like the bears are walking in drunk off scotch the night before.

[00:16:36]

The Chiefs have run back-to-back Super Bowl with Valdes Scantling as the number one receiver, and now you're giving them a legit weapon. It's just like, Oh, man, here we go.

[00:16:43]

It's a problem, bro. You as a Bills fan, you might not see You're a young man with a family now. You might not see a Bill Super Bowl in your life. Kind of like the way I'm waiting for Leave Stanley Cup or Seahaw Super Bowl in my life again. It's a problem, man.

[00:16:53]

I feel like a charger fan in Phillip Rivers' Prime, you're like, Oh, we have such a good quarterback, and they never got to see it. I feel like that's going to be the story the bills with Josh Allen.

[00:17:01]

You're absolutely right, Drew. And the thing is, there were times the chargers, even when they were going to win, the receiver, instead of going down, decides to run and fumbles the ball. That's it. You can't have worse luck than that, like the Wyndham Clark put on 18.

[00:17:13]

Dude, the chargers were the one seed, like three different times and didn't even make the conference championship.

[00:17:16]

It was actually a shame. Talked to my boy Jeff Feinberg. He still rattled about it. That's why he probably drinks and smokes because he's a charger fan. He has a lot of issues. Great guy. But I'm going to tell you this, Drew, I hate to say it, but it almost seems like Buffalo, they're cursed. And I feel horrible for Buffalo Bill.

[00:17:34]

I do like the Curtis-Samuels signing, though, Ken. He's a sneaky good player. A lot of people were underrating that. I think he's really good. Gabe Davis, the Jags. Have him. That's okay.

[00:17:43]

You can have him. He'll drop balls. He'll He gets open. Lawrence will throw him a perfect ball. One day, he'll get three touch downs, then he won't get a touch down for five games, and then he'll make another- Yeah, he's a good boss guy. A miraculous catch and drop an easy one. That's what he does.

[00:17:55]

And then what do you think about the Titans with Will Levis, Calvin Ridley, Hopkins? Are they going to be the real deal competing for that division next year?

[00:18:00]

Or are they going to be- You're mocking me with Sam Howe. There's a lot of question marks still on Will Levis, too, don't you think?

[00:18:07]

Oh, yeah. Well, Levis is better than Howe, though. I'll fight that.

[00:18:09]

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Okay. We're not going down this road. But think about Levis, though, he has to develop. He has to develop. He's one of those quarterbacks. He can look really, really good and really, really bad. You know why?

[00:18:19]

He's a super arm thrower. He's got no body. His mechanics are terrible.

[00:18:22]

He's got a laser.

[00:18:23]

But it's all arm. It's like Josh Allen is a rookie. Remember, he was all arm, and then he fixed his mechanics in year three. He went to a Scientology You're right. He got a science guy to break down everything. He did, yeah.

[00:18:32]

He saw Tom Cruise. He went to a psychiatrist. You mean a psychologist or psychiatrist?

[00:18:41]

No, I mean someone... He went to... They got to a... A sports psychologist. No, it wasn't a psychologist, though. It was a legit breakdown of his body and mechanics.

[00:18:48]

I don't know. He's a scientist. He's amazing. Let's move on. Okay.

[00:18:52]

Yeah. Was it Xenon? Is that their Xenon in the space available? I don't know.

[00:18:55]

I don't care.

[00:18:57]

All right. The Running Backs came. Saquon Bark, he went from the Giants to the Eagles. Derrick Henry went from the Titans to the Ravens. Josh Jacobs went from Vegas to Green Bay. Aaron Jones, Green Bay to Minnesota. Joe Mixon, Cincinnati to Houston. Tony Pollard, Dallas to Tennessee. And DeAndre Swift, Philly to Chicago. All these starting runningbacks on the carousel moving everywhere. Which one is your favorite? Who are you picking? Round one of your fancy draft, which one of these guys is your target?

[00:19:20]

Can you repeat that again? You threw a lot at me there.

[00:19:24]

Okay. Saquon is in Philly. Derrick Henry is in Baltimore. Josh Jacobs is in Green Bay. Aaron Jones is Minnesota. Joe Mixon is in Houston. Pollard is in Tennessee, and Swift is in Chicago now. All these runningbacks switch places. Which one of those new faces and new places is your favorite?

[00:19:39]

I like Henry because I think they can just... With Baltimore, he'll be a bit of a shutdown heavy. They're not going to roll them out all the time.

[00:19:45]

If you like- All those three-yard carries that Gus and Eric Henry didn't get in. Gus and Eric. Eric Henry is getting in the end there.

[00:19:49]

Derrick Henry. So if you're in a league where it's touched down heavy for points, I would take that. What was the other one? Green Bay. I like that. Josh Jacobs of the packers to me is very... Josh Jacobs is a great running back, and that Raiders' line was nothing fantastic. So I think that's one of the best ones. Swift, that doesn't really move the needle. Pollard has a lot- Saquon and Philly could be pretty good. I'm going to tell you something, Drew, and I hate to say this. I think if you're a Philadelphia fan, This injury to Hertz, he's so lucky he went to Philadelphia. Let's put it that way. If he went to a lot of these other teams, I don't even think he would have been a great quarterback. Really? It's just right place, right time. I'd rather... I think Caleb Williams Williams has more... Who's got more of an upside than Hertz. Williams has way more of an upside than Hertz, don't you think?

[00:20:35]

I mean, Hertz has made a Super Bowl and almost won MVP.

[00:20:38]

He didn't win the Super Bowl, though. A lot of guys get to the Super Bowl. Drew, he got drafted by Philadelphia.

[00:20:42]

He got drafted by Philadelphia.

[00:20:43]

Maybe he's not as good. They had the best offensive line. They had weapons all over the place. Back then, they had a good defense before they got hurt. There's no excuses for it. This is the whole problem with football. You could be better than the other guy. If you get drafted by a shit team, you're maybe not that shit. Maybe you're just trying your best and your team is hanging you out to dry because you're on a horrible fucking team and you can't get to- That's my Bryce Young argument, Kim.

[00:21:03]

Everyone's shitting on Bryce Young saying how bad he is. I was like, Dude, Carolina sucks.

[00:21:07]

They suck. That's the thing. He's not great. But the thing is... You know what? I'd love to see Patrick Mahomes play for Carolina and see what would have happened. You know what I mean? But we'll never have this argument to see. There's no simulator that prove it. But the thing is, I can tell you one fucking thing. If Patrick Mahomes was the quarterback of the Carolina Panthers, they would not... I don't even think they make the playoffs.

[00:21:32]

Yeah, they'd win probably five more games.

[00:21:33]

They'd win four more games. Yes.

[00:21:35]

That's it. I agree with you, Cam. I love Pollard in Tennessee. I know everyone's mad, but I like that. He didn't have success in Dallas inside the red zone, but- You'll get him for cheaper, too.

[00:21:46]

People are down on Paul or Drew. He'll be a nice little take because people are like, whatever.

[00:21:50]

And Sneaky Cam, Joe Mixon in Houston could be really good in fantasy. They replaced Singletary with Mixon. Damian pierce, not so great. Mixon might be just fine. C. J. Stroud in those weapons.

[00:22:01]

I will say this about Mixon, though. He's taking a lot of wear and tear over. He's got a couple of good years left.

[00:22:05]

That's about it. Yeah, but Cincinnati replacing him with Zack Moss doesn't make sense. It's like Zack Moss.

[00:22:09]

That's your replacement for- That's actually Cincinnati's doing a lot of... They're reverting back to the old Bungles after the Joe Burrow stuff. They're doing weird stuff.

[00:22:17]

I am scared, though, because they're talking about since they franchise tag T. Higgins, that they might move T. Higgins and something else to get Justin Jefferson out of Minnesota.

[00:22:23]

If they get Justin Jefferson, your bills are... And Burrow goes back healthy.

[00:22:27]

Jj and Chase back with Burrow. The LSU The LSU national champs all back together, Cam. It'd be- You know what.

[00:22:33]

If I was that team, I would do anything to do it. You saw that National Championship.

[00:22:38]

You want two first-time Tee Higgins? It's done. Here you go.

[00:22:40]

You know what? We'll pull a Carolina ad. We'll give you whatever you want. You name it. Like empty check. Because I'll tell you, with that receiving core, it doesn't even matter. They won't be able to be stopped.Impossible.I.

[00:22:52]

Agree with you, Cam. All right. Well, that does it for our NFL conversation. We got Mike Evans resigning. We got a bunch of other stuff, restructured contracts, all this stuff. But those are the big moves, Cam. Outside chance, any sleeper pick for the Super Bowl right now? What are you feeling? I'm feeling probably Atlanta. I don't think they'll win it. But if I have a long shot to pick, I think it would go with Atlanta Falcons. I like that pick. Who's your long shot right now?

[00:23:12]

Jacksonville still because I was so bad You'll never get off the Jaguars, eh? I got a real problem, Drew. I just can't say it.

[00:23:20]

I just- Pam, secretly? What? Russell Wilson and the Stealers, secret League sleeper pick. You know what?

[00:23:25]

I'm going to be honest with you. The Stealers, with that defense, there's a lot of other I don't want instead of them. That's not me.

[00:23:31]

They're beating good teams with Mason Rudolf. You're right. Russell Wilson is a lot better.

[00:23:35]

Poor Mason Rudolf. The guy only comes in there and plays. It's like, okay, well, somebody will pick him up. What was he doing?

[00:23:40]

He's like Ryan Fitzpatrick 2.0. He'll be around for a long time, just middle of the pack starter.

[00:23:46]

Who's better, Fitzpatrick or Rudolf? Quickly. Fitzpatrick. Yeah, I would agree with that.

[00:23:51]

He's a seven-touch down game, Kam. Nfl record.

[00:23:53]

Remember at the end of his career, that one game where he got pummeled nine times? He threw the winning touch. You could say what you want about Ryan Fitzpatrick. That guy That guy's tough as fuck. He's literally fucking an animal. Like the hits that guy's taken. Wow.

[00:24:05]

Okay. All right, Cam, let's move on to NCAA March Madness. Teams that can pull off around one episode. You got any pics for this? I know a lot of people love the double-digit seeds beating the high seeds, the 14s beating the threes, the 15s beating the twos. We saw a 16 beat a one last year. That was absolutely insane. Busted everyone's bracket. I can start. I got three that I like. I like number 10, Drake beating Washington State. I mean, that's 10.

[00:24:29]

It's not that much of an upset, though. That's pretty crazy.

[00:24:31]

Yeah, it's not that crazy, September 7. But I like that one, Cam. I also like Dukesne to beat B-Y-U.

[00:24:37]

Dukesne. The team is called Dukesne. Dukesne. Dukesne. What am I?

[00:24:40]

It's like... I love you, buddy. It's like when people called... Oh, man.

[00:24:46]

Remember our old reporter when I worked at the SCOR? He was our update guy. He goes, Eucla, 70. Oh, my God. Dukesne, 64. In Marenci, we were here, we go, It's UCLA and Duquesne.

[00:24:58]

Oh, man. You know what? I'm going to leave it in. I'll own it. I'll own it.

[00:25:01]

Hey, I'm not mad at you because I love it. Hey, Dukesne is a good team. They won the 8-10. I like Dukesne a lot. The Dukesne-Dukes, good team.

[00:25:09]

They're not bad. Yeah. You like BIO? A lot of people like BIO to make it.

[00:25:13]

I actually like BIO a lot, but I'll give you one, Drew. I think it's in the opening round. Samford can win their game outright. And another team to look out for, James Madison. They're picking at the right time. James Madison.

[00:25:24]

A lot of people do like James Madison.

[00:25:25]

The problem with these trendy teams is everyone's going to pick one, and it's usually the wrong It's really hard. And the thing about basketball this year, though, even though Yukon is the cream of the crop, and Houston's very good, they're all beatable teams. It's not like before. North Carolina is amazing, but they could be flaky. I know people are talking about Iowa State should have been number one, but they're a wicked team, too. It's going to be fun. It's going to be a fun tournament. We're not going to see the Cinderella story. There'll be a Cinderella that wins, I think, two or three, maybe, but they're not going to be... When you go to the final four, none of those Cinderella teams are going to be there.

[00:25:57]

Sorry. What do you think about Charleston beating Alabama? Everyone loves Alabama because it's the highest scoring team. No.

[00:26:02]

The thing about Alabama is also another thing, Drew, it's a reset for these teams. Virginia had a horrible year. They're in a frigging play-in game. This is like time to go, Okay, Alabama is one of the more disappointing teams this year. They're very well coached. Nate Oates, your boy.

[00:26:16]

Well, they're still the highest scoring team in the nation.

[00:26:18]

Remember, he used to coach Buffalo, not the Bills, but the Bulls. Remember him? And he brought that program to prominence. So I will say Alabama will take care of Charleston. Samford is another team. Samford is the upset I'm looking at. Samford.

[00:26:29]

Samford One team I always pick is UAB, Cam. I love UAB. I'm a sucker for them.

[00:26:36]

Dude, UAB. I'll tell you a story, Andrew. When I was a kid, when we first started gambling, when I was at the casino, I had... Kentucky was a 19 and a half point favorite when they first crazy gambling came on the turn, UAB beat them out right. I had Money Line, everything. I was sitting there at the Branford Casino high five and my buddy, Vince. I'm like, This is amazing. And I've always loved UAB since. They're one of my favorite schools.

[00:26:55]

Always loved them. Okay, so I guess that'll be for sure one of our picks when we make our bracket in a second. Uab number 12 over the 5. All right, Cam, let's just build our bracket now for the viewers. That's good. I know we said we do it. Listen, everyone, as much as everyone wants to say they're an expert when building a bracket, it's all bullshit. No one ever gets a perfect bracket. I've seen perfect final fours. Perfect brackets are impossible. It's like 60 trillion different combinations. That's why Warren Buffet says, If you get a perfect bracket, he'll give you a billion dollars. It's never going to happen. So if you don't like our bracket, too bad, so sad. Join our bracket pool in the description and prove that you can beat the Drew and Sue live bracket. So we'll do this right now, Cam. Share, presentation, screen, bracket. You ready, Cam? It's the Druencew Bracket Live.

[00:27:40]

Just fire him on. Fire. Let's go. Let's go.

[00:27:42]

All right, Connecticut versus Stetson. We got to go one-seed Connecticut, right?

[00:27:45]

Yeah, Connecticut. Stetson is a really nice story. They won the Atlantic Sun Conference, and I had them actually, Futures on them, but Connecticut will win that game, yes.

[00:27:52]

All right. Florida Atlantic against Northwestern.

[00:27:55]

Florida Atlantic, the Owls.

[00:27:57]

Who's the favorite in this game, Cam? Oh, I think Florida Atlantic.

[00:28:00]

I think Florida Atlantic, yeah.

[00:28:01]

It's a close game, though. All right. Sdsu against UAB. We're going UAB, baby.

[00:28:06]

Uab. You know what? Sdsu is at the San Diego State University is one of the best defensive teams in the nation. I don't care. We're looking for an upset. Give me the UAB Blazers. And this is more of a heart pick because me and Drew love them.

[00:28:16]

No, UAB. I'm going to pick them again. I don't care. Auburn versus Yale, Cal. Auburn.

[00:28:20]

What is this? Mr. Burns? Mr. Burns went to Yale. Give me Auburn, the tigers, the SEC champs.

[00:28:27]

All right. Bio against Dukeesny.

[00:28:29]

I'll take B-Y-U over Duke-esny. Yeah, B-Y-U. All right.

[00:28:33]

I do like Dukesne to win that game, but I'll go with you here. Illinois versus Morehead State.

[00:28:37]

Illinois for fun. Morehead State is another one of those trendy pics that are going nowhere.

[00:28:42]

Washington State and Drake. I'm going Drake, Cam. I'm over here.

[00:28:45]

I like Washington State, and they're one of my favorite teams, Drew. It really hurt me when you said you were loving the Drake. On Seinfeld, the Drake is horrible. But anyway, actually, Drake had a good year. The Drake Bulldogs. But I know this team, Drew. They're always like a hype, like a hipster team, and they I never do anything. I used to ride Drake, and they'd always let me down. But I like Washington State, first of all.

[00:29:04]

Fair. Okay. Well, too bad. That's what I say. Iowa State camp. We're going them over South Dakota?

[00:29:08]

Yeah, like loans all day.

[00:29:10]

Okay. Let's go over here to the... Actually, let's finish. We'll finish each one first.

[00:29:14]

Yeah, go in order.

[00:29:15]

Yukon versus Florida Atlantic. Who are we going? One or eight.

[00:29:17]

Yukon. Okay.

[00:29:19]

Uab versus Auburn. Auburn. I'm feeling UAB.

[00:29:22]

Just stop, Drew. One win for UAB. We're going Auburn here. You don't like Cinarela. If UAB wins two games, you know what? You should make a bet because they have to make sweet 16 or whatever. Take UAB. It's 25 to one. I actually wrote it down. I was thinking about doing it. But Auburn is good, man.

[00:29:37]

Real good. All right. Bio versus Illinois. I'm leaning BIO. Where are you going?

[00:29:41]

Illinois.

[00:29:43]

Cam, picking all the favorites. I don't like this.

[00:29:45]

Don't worry. There'll be a couple of dogs.

[00:29:47]

All right. Drake against Iowa State. We're going Iowa. Look, one, two, three, four. Not very original here, Cam. Okay. Yukon or Auburn.

[00:29:55]

Yukon.

[00:29:56]

Okay. And if you pick Iowa State here, I'm ending the show now. Illinois Iowa State.

[00:30:00]

Illinois, then.

[00:30:01]

All right, good. One V three. All right. Moving on to the South camp, Houston versus Longwood.

[00:30:06]

Don't we have Morehead State in Longwood? What is this? The penthouse version of the NCAA program that we used to have. Anyway, that's fun. We're going to go with not Longwood, even though we always- Nebraska or Texas A&M? I'm going to go with... Oh, that's a tough game. I'm going to go with Texas A&M, actually.

[00:30:25]

Let's look at that. Yeah, they're both... Essentially, it's a one and a half point game.

[00:30:29]

I'll take Texas A&M.

[00:30:30]

They're both bad.

[00:30:31]

Nebraska camp. Don't think about Nebraska. It's a great home team, but take them on the road. No, thanks.

[00:30:36]

All right. Texas AM. Wisconsin versus your team, James Madison. We're going James Madison, baby. Sure.

[00:30:40]

Let's do it. All right.

[00:30:41]

Duke, we have to go Duke camp. That was my team growing up. That was the little bandwagon jumper kid while he was wearing the Duke hat.

[00:30:47]

I love you. You're like my brother. You can't like Duke and Clemson. It's liking the Bills and the Chiefs.

[00:30:53]

No, I know. I don't like them anymore. I'm saying when I was a stupid kid, I had to do that.

[00:30:56]

I hate Duke. I hate that team so much, but we'll take them. Of course, they're going to win their first game.

[00:31:00]

I hate Duke. Texas Tech versus NC State.

[00:31:03]

Texas Tech, one of my favorite plays of the week. Nc State is a team that won their conference tournament. They're a team, people are like, Oh, they're rolling now. That's the worst thing that happened is a break. Now they get down to reality and lose that game.

[00:31:15]

Fair. Kentucky against Oakland.

[00:31:17]

Kentucky. Even Oakland's a very interesting team. I like Kentucky.

[00:31:21]

We don't know who's going to be facing Florida here, BSU or Colorado.

[00:31:24]

Just give us actually... You know what? If Colorado wins their playing game, I like them to win two games. Do you want to take Colorado?

[00:31:33]

Yeah, I'm down.

[00:31:34]

Do it. You want to get stupid? Let's get stupid, friend. Colorado.

[00:31:37]

Let's do it. Marquette versus Western Kentucky.

[00:31:40]

Marquette. That is good. You know what? Marquette is a dangerous, dangerous team, in my opinion.

[00:31:45]

Houston versus Texas A&M. Houston.

[00:31:48]

Sorry, we're not going against- We're going Duke over James Madison came.

[00:31:51]

I'm sorry.

[00:31:52]

Yes, we are.

[00:31:53]

Texas Tech over Kentucky?

[00:31:57]

Yes.

[00:31:59]

All All right. And Colorado over Marquette is what you're saying? Marquette.

[00:32:02]

That's where Colorado ends it right there. Nice two wins, surprise is- Next two.

[00:32:05]

Houston versus Duke. I'm leaning in a little umbrella from Duke here, but I know Houston is a good- Please, Bob Drew, if Houston...

[00:32:11]

Okay, you know what? I'll make you a deal. I'm not sure if we have bets that are unpaid or whatever. If Duke beats Houston, I will take you out for beers and wings.

[00:32:18]

Houston. All right. Texas Tech or Marquette? Marquette. All right. We got a one, three, and a one, two. Not very original so far. This is fun.

[00:32:25]

Glad you came up with this idea. We got more to do.

[00:32:29]

Oh, yeah. We got the West and Midwest here. A lot of games. We got UNC against... Who's How and Wag? Let's see.

[00:32:35]

Okay. No, they're playing tonight. It's Howard versus Wagner. Howard will probably... No, just put UNC in and let's stop this discussion. Howard and Wagner will not win two games, guaranteed.

[00:32:44]

Mississippi State versus Michigan State.

[00:32:47]

You know what? I actually talked to Gabe about this one. Michigan State on the upset, but it's not much of one.

[00:32:52]

St. Mary's against Grand Canyon.

[00:32:54]

St. Mary's all day.

[00:32:56]

You don't like GCU, eh?

[00:32:57]

I'm going to tell you something about GCU. Another hipster team. They're great. They're They're fast. They want to score like 100 points. St. Mary's is the opposite. They're a boa constricter that get in your face with defense. Sorry, that's not a good recipe. St. Mary's, please.

[00:33:08]

Alabama against Charleston. You like Alabama, you said. In my bracket in my home pool, I'm going to have Charleston.

[00:33:14]

I'm going to take Charleston one, two just for shits and good.

[00:33:16]

Everyone loves Alabama, Kim. Clemson against New Mexico. Kim, this one kills me because I like New Mexico. Don't do this. You know what?

[00:33:22]

Don't do this. You know what? New Mexico. Sorry about Clemson. We'll take New Mexico. Take the Lobos. Sheriff Lobo. Dude, Clemson, you already got Trevor It's not going to work. This team's going nowhere. Just take New Mexico. Come on. That's an upset, too. You want an upset? Go to New Mexico. Lobos, please. They went two games.

[00:33:37]

I'm picking them, though. I'm picking them to go to the next round then before we can do anything. All right. Baylor or Colgate?

[00:33:41]

Baylor. Crest beats Colgate.

[00:33:44]

Baylor beats Colgate. Cincinnati. Dayton or Nevada?

[00:33:47]

Oh, God. What a game.

[00:33:50]

You know what? This is a straight up one and a half spread.

[00:33:52]

Nevada might win that game.

[00:33:54]

Who do you like? What's your first- Nevada, three and one versus top 25. Dayton's 0 and one. They've only played one team.

[00:33:59]

What You make this choice because I got a soft spot in my heart for Dayton, too. I love Dayton and Ohio. I'm going to go in Nevada. Okay, going Nevada.

[00:34:05]

All right. Arizona or Long Beach State.

[00:34:07]

Arizona. Even though Long Beach is a gangster school, I love those guys. I got to go with Arizona.

[00:34:12]

Cam, one of these 15 or 14 seasons is going to- That is not happening.

[00:34:15]

No, no, no, no.

[00:34:17]

We need to hit it. All right. Purdue? Yeah, I'm not even going to ask. Utah State versus TCU.

[00:34:24]

Oh, God. What a game.

[00:34:25]

I like TCU.

[00:34:25]

You know what? I like TCU as well. Give me TCU.

[00:34:28]

Okay. Gonzaga or McNeice?

[00:34:30]

I like McNeice. Mcneice is actually a wicked team, and know what? They got- Kam, we need to take 1-12.

[00:34:35]

We're taking McNeice.

[00:34:36]

Okay, do it. All right. I just want to tell you a quick story. Mcneice is one of the best teams, the smaller schools. They got the worst... They should be an 8 seat, not a 12. It's horrible for them. They murdered teams this year.

[00:34:49]

You know what? Gonzaga has been shit this year, though, Kam. They're not the same.

[00:34:51]

Actually, they've been way better down the stretch, and they beat St. Mary's down. St. Mary's had a perfect conference record before they met Gonzaga. You know what? Let's take McNeice. You said we have to do something dumb. Let's do it. Mcneez, please. All right.

[00:35:02]

Kansas or Sanford?

[00:35:03]

Kansas. Oh, God. You know what? Want to take Sanford? No, what? Let's do it. Sanford. All right. Through you, Cans.

[00:35:09]

You're out the first- See you later, Jayhawks. South Carolina, Oregon.

[00:35:15]

South Carolina.

[00:35:17]

All right. Fair enough. Creighton or Akron? Creighton. Creighton.

[00:35:21]

They're getting higher- Blue Jays are going to go deep in this tournament.

[00:35:24]

Texas or UVA or CSU?

[00:35:29]

Give me I'm going to go Texas.

[00:35:30]

Okay. I thought you were going to go the other way.

[00:35:32]

I know you said- Who do you want to go with?

[00:35:35]

We'll go Texas. I'm on Matthew McCona, you guys.

[00:35:37]

I can make a case for other teams, but we'll go with Texas.

[00:35:40]

Tennessee or St. Peter's. Tennessee. All right. Moving on. Unc versus Michigan State.

[00:35:45]

Unc.

[00:35:47]

Okay. St. Mary's or Alabama?

[00:35:48]

Alabama.

[00:35:49]

Okay. New Mexico or Baylor? I picked New Mexico already, so you don't get a choice. Nevada or Arizona.

[00:35:53]

I wanted to take Baylor and let the record show Baylor is one of my underdogs to win the tournament, but let's continue.

[00:36:00]

All right. Arizona or Nevada? Arizona. Okay. Moving on. Unc versus Alabama?

[00:36:06]

Unc.

[00:36:07]

All right. New Mexico against Arizona.

[00:36:11]

Arizona.

[00:36:12]

Okay. We got one, two again.

[00:36:14]

We got some crazy dogs. This bracket. We got to switch this up in the final- Our bracket, we're reeks.

[00:36:18]

We're going nowhere. Purdue or TCU?

[00:36:20]

We'll go with Purdue. Be grudging. You want TCU? If you want it, I'll accept it because Purdue always chokes.

[00:36:29]

Mcneice or Sanford?

[00:36:31]

Mcneice.

[00:36:32]

What a match. 12-9. South Carolina against Creighton.

[00:36:36]

Creighton.

[00:36:37]

Okay. And Texas against Tennessee.

[00:36:39]

Tennessee.

[00:36:40]

All right. Tcu versus McNeice.

[00:36:46]

If you want to go McNeice- I'm going TCU here, Cam.

[00:36:49]

I like it.

[00:36:49]

Okay, go TCU.

[00:36:51]

And then Tennessee or Creighton. I like the Blue Jays.

[00:36:53]

If McNeice goes to the final four or lead eight, I'm going to drive to Brampton and strangle you. What do we got next?

[00:36:58]

You want to pick McNeice, Cam?

[00:36:59]

I'll I'll do it. I don't. I'll do it. No, we're out of control with this team. They're probably going to lose their first game. Who else do we have? What do we need here?

[00:37:07]

Creighton or Tennessee.

[00:37:10]

I'm going to go with Creighton.

[00:37:11]

All right. Blue Jays. Okay, next.

[00:37:13]

That's an upset, right? Isn't Creighton? They're lower. What's your name?

[00:37:15]

Yeah, they're lower. So we got a three and a nine there. All right. Connecticut against Illinois.

[00:37:19]

Connecticut. And the elite eight. Connecticut.

[00:37:21]

Okay. Houston versus Marquette.

[00:37:23]

Houston.

[00:37:25]

Okay, we got one, one. All right, here we go. Unc against Arizona. Arizona. I I like it. And then TCU Creighton.

[00:37:32]

Creighton.

[00:37:33]

Okay, so our bracket has a one, two, one, three. Not very original final four.

[00:37:37]

That's actually a very original. A lot of people have like... The fact that we got Arizona going that deep is original enough.

[00:37:43]

All right. Yukon or Arizona?

[00:37:45]

Yukon.

[00:37:45]

And then Houston or Creighton? Houston.

[00:37:48]

You think so? Yeah, Houston's the... They're amazing, buddy.

[00:37:55]

I think Marquette is going to beat them already. But all right, we'll go Houston.

[00:37:59]

You know what? Do you really You know what? I can tell you one thing. If we take Marquette and this actually happens and beat Houston, we'd win the pool because no one has Marquette going this deep.

[00:38:08]

Nobody. All right, we're doing it. Marquette versus Creighton. Who are you picking?

[00:38:11]

Marquette? You mean Yukon? Marquette versus Yukon, right?

[00:38:15]

No, Marquette versus Creighton in the final four.

[00:38:16]

Oh, we have to go with Marquette.

[00:38:19]

All right. So Marquette versus Yukon in the finals.

[00:38:21]

That's insane. Those are two big East teams. That's never going to happen. We're idiots. Yukon to win it all. Anything for them, Kim. You're going to beat Marquette. Oh, God, this bracket has got major-Final score, let's go 85, 80. No, let's go 78, 69.

[00:38:42]

78, 69. All right. Nice This is the worst. So that is our bracket.

[00:38:47]

This is the worst bracket ever made.

[00:38:49]

Hey, did you guys want to join and try and beat our bracket, good luck, because this bracket is going to be perfect. We're going to get that billion dollars camp from Warren Buffett. Exactly.

[00:38:58]

Well, we did some pretty stupid... Like there, I'm going to tell you, though, Drew, in all seriousness, like, Yukon, I have them at 14 to one. I got them earlier on in the year. They're probably, I think, four or five to one now. Houston is a really, really good team, and it's probably going to be Houston and Yukon. And after that, I don't know who's going to win. But sometimes in this stuff, you got to take chances. And Marquette is still a very good basketball.

[00:39:18]

Cam, anytime you think the best team is going to win, they don't. I know. That's the thing. I think Houston is going to lose to Duke, personally.

[00:39:26]

That's crazy talk, but it could happen. Anything's possible in this tournament.

[00:39:29]

And TCU, Cam, I think TCU could make the final four. It's crazy that sounds.

[00:39:33]

A lot of people I respect have TCU going to be the elite eight or final four. So that's... Yeah, they're a good team.

[00:39:39]

All right. And then everyone, Clemson is going to make the final four.

[00:39:42]

Clemson won't win their first game.

[00:39:43]

Who are they playing? They'll probably lose the first game in New Mexico. I know.

[00:39:46]

Who's Clemson playing in for the first game, Drew?

[00:39:49]

New Mexico. Oh, yeah.

[00:39:50]

The Lobos will be Clemson. Okay, what do we got? Golf?

[00:39:53]

Yeah. So then we'll quickly we'll get out of here.

[00:39:55]

I'll rattle them off here.

[00:39:56]

Our Valspar Championship Picks for the golf. Everyone, once again, We'll see the March ninth brackets in the description. We'll figure out what the winner gets. If you can beat us, we'll probably be dead last with that bracket. Everyone knows what you pick, so you pick differently. We'll see. Kim, give us your... What do you want to do? Five golfers? Three? What do you want to do?

[00:40:13]

I'm going to give you six, and then you can do after that. But you can't do anything under 20 to one. That's the way it works. So I'm going to give you my six-pack right now.

[00:40:22]

I got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, six. I got seven. Okay, but I'll do six.

[00:40:30]

Really? You want me to... I'll add a guy if you want. He's seven. No, no, no. I like your style, Drew. I thought you were going to go, I have two, but you have seven. Okay.

[00:40:36]

Well, I got seven, but my biggest one is my long shot.

[00:40:39]

I'm going to start with Brian Harmon, who finished second last week at 25 to one.

[00:40:43]

That's one of my picks, Cam. There we go, 20 to one.

[00:40:46]

Actually, I got him at 25. He's been bet down. I'm going to tell you something about Brian Harmon. He loves this tournament. What do you need? Guys not to gag, guys who plot. I'm going to tell you, Drew, there is water on nine holes. There are 74 bunkers. And if the wind picks up in the snake pit, these guys are dead. I've seen guys take not just quadruple boggies. Guys have shot like 84, 85 on this course. It could be one of the hardest tournaments on tour. People don't know how hard the Innsbruck Copperhead course is.

[00:41:11]

He's probably playing better than anyone else in this tournament right now.

[00:41:13]

Harmon is amazing. I'm going to tell you, I bet him at... Like, literally, anything at 15, I'd still take him. I love Brian Harmon. I'm going to go with a Canadian, Adam Hadwin at 45 to one. I know he didn't play well this week, but I'm going to take him at 45 to one. Christian Buzet, now it has been trending in the right direction, the South African at 55 to one. Sep Stracka, Georgia Bulldog at 55 to one. Aaron Rai, R-A-I-N-Ginger, me at 60, and Adam, Don't Shank It at 75. That's what I got. And I was also looking at for bombs, Davis Thompson. And who's the other loser that I got? Maybe Troy Merritt or Matt Neesmith.

[00:41:54]

Hey, no, that's my guy.

[00:41:55]

Yeah, Matt Neesmith, too. Looks pretty good today.

[00:41:58]

All right, Cam. I like Brian Harmon as well. It's 20 to 1 is where I got him. Taylor Moore, Defending Champ. You can't not take the Defending Champ. It's 60 to 1. He plays well here. He T-31 last week, so he's not playing that bad. And he loves this course. Doug Gim, five straight top 20 finishes. The Gim reaper.

[00:42:11]

Here he comes.

[00:42:13]

I think He's not going to touch me much shorter. Kam, 41. That's too long for this guy.

[00:42:17]

Your pics are very strong. Continue.

[00:42:20]

Joel Damon, playing well recently.

[00:42:22]

I love Joel Damon. Joel Damon, my Washington Husky. A friend of the program. I like Joel Damon.

[00:42:27]

Neesmith, third best career average at this course, Kam, out of all PGA tour golfers, Neesmith, 125 to one.

[00:42:32]

I'm going to tell you about Neesmith. He played pretty good last week, too. He needs to be in your top 20 and 30 bets, whatever, at crazy prices. So he might not win, but I agree with that, Drew.

[00:42:40]

T3 in 2022, just two years ago, Cam. He used it. He used it. And then my favorite pick is Troy Merritt at 250 to one. He's the only player in the field to rank top eight overall in around the green play on this Bermuda-style grass. He's recorded multiple top 10 finishes at the Vallespar due to this comfortability on these greens cam. At least top 10. You can each weigh this guy. I like him as a top 10 finish cam. It's 20 to one for that. Troy Merritt, 250 to one. I think it's worth a sprinkle.

[00:43:06]

It is true. And another thing is for guys, you got to remember, Drew knows I've been doing this a long time. Golf betting is my thing, but I will say this, Drew, if you like Troy Merritt at that price, make sure you put a T20 or 30 on them, too, because it's still going to be plus money. Only one guy wins the tournament and crazy things happen on Saturday and Sunday. I've had guys with six shots. I had Zalatoros that week. He had a five-shot lead. I took the dog for a walk. He's down, too. He lost seven shots in five holes. Golf is crazy. It'll drive you nuts, But top 30, Drew, if you could still find plus money, and that'll be a great price for these guys. Excellent pick. Oh, yeah.

[00:43:35]

I love your pick. Troy Merritt, top 20 is.

[00:43:37]

I'm actually going to sprinkle on Troy Merritt and Mat and Lee Smith. Let's go.

[00:43:40]

Yeah, you have to. And you have a little Doug Gim action. That's why I'll have a nice Doug Gim Super.

[00:43:45]

Yeah, I love that guy.

[00:43:46]
