Kentucky Derby every day. Right. He goes over there. You just have to pack anything different in my suitcase. Oh, there. I was like, I don't know what I'm going to wear. I got Jordan. Yeah, black and gray. New York City in Kentucky.

1:07.0

Yeah, no, it does not. And Connor Rogers is talking about NBC sports as we can NBC peacock. We have the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. That's right. It's the first Saturday in May. That's means it's Kentucky Derby time Sims family be tuned in. And Connor Rogers. Yeah, he's becoming a big star here. So he goes to the Derby now. And him and Matthew Barry, who already was a star. Okay. They're going to do some do their fantasy show there. Have a little fun over the next few days. You're going to actually be there the Derby day too.

1:36.0

This is a quick one. I am flying tonight Thursday. We do the show. I fly back middle of the night. Wham bam. Thank you. Yeah, that's right. It's one night in one night out. Okay. I kind of like traveling like that. It's weird. I hear you. I mean, I know we're done. The Derby never have. I never have. Should have tried to ride it out. Well, you work at NBC now. And I haven't done it either. So maybe we should try to do that together. I think we can we can make that. We can heckle on a Saturday. Make on a berry. Right. Jail join us. J definitely in the trip.

2:06.0

Make fun of them. Right. Yes. I think I think we're making that happen. I thought it's a post-strap special at the Derby. I'm I'm I'm a shame that I don't go or I have never been because like my dad grew up like right by there.

2:18.0

Oh, okay. And my family. I mean, you know, they're all in that area, but I've never been to the race. It's on the bucket list. Definitely for me too. Yeah, absolutely. I I know nothing about it, but I like horse racing. Yeah, right. So yes, no, no doubt. And we're animal lovers regardless. My daughter rides horses. So she'll we'll all we'll be all in on an outside.

2:35.9

Saturday afternoon watching that. Hopefully you guys will be too. All right. But today we have a little fun. My man here, the draft expert, Connor Rogers.

2:43.9

All right. We're going to go through some of the, you know, the rookies ever drafted more draft digesting here. Some rookie predictions. I also want to just before we get into that a little bit.

2:52.9

Because I didn't discuss this with you the last time. And I'm a little disappointed. I didn't.

2:57.9

You're last names Rogers. Your favorite teams, the jets. There's a new guy in town. I didn't even ask you like how excited I haven't even asked you off the air here. And he's been maybe my favorite.

3:08.9

He's like, think about how bad the jets were for how long you got to latch on to other things. Yeah. I mean, watching Aaron Rogers play. Well, we had a common back in our bleach report. 100% 100%

3:18.9

when I was singing the song exactly Aaron Rogers. The best I ever see. It is the best. I mean, what's better than this? Yeah. Right. And just like his energy right now. Right. At the next game with sauce gardener. Yeah. Um, I mean, there's just he seems way happier and raise all in. He is. I mean, I'm not going to get my hope up for two years. But I gladly take two years. Aaron Rogers. And just the fact of knowing what that defense was able to do last year. Right.

3:46.9

You got to be excited, especially I do pre and post game for the jets. So, you know, you're in the media. You're not rooting when they win. It's a lot more fun to discuss a win than a loss. You're allowed to root. Yeah. Don't be too media guy. I'm the media. I try to be partial. Whatever. I'm a giant. Exactly. You have your biases. Exactly. That's human element. Anybody that says that they have no feelings towards any of it. They're insane. No, exactly. So it man. It's awesome. I mean, this was the any know what I like this Chris that they didn't do.

4:16.9

The one foot in one foot out. Like I understand why people liked their car and quarterbacks of that stature. This is the move in the AFC where you're dealing with Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, Joe burrow. Exactly. I've been telling people like Justin Herbert and Trevor Lawrence are only getting better. Exactly.

4:29.9

We look at them at the what they were last year. Who knows what they're going to be this year. It's only going up. You've got to have a dude like this. Yeah. So I'd rather actually go up and swing for a home run and be like, yeah, you know, we'll take the safe. This will work for three or four years. So we don't get fired. We're relevant. 100% yeah. Well, maybe win nine games.

4:46.6

Maybe get a wild card and then we'll get bounce. I'm with you. I think they put the chips in the middle of the table. That's where they they look at themselves. I had this kind of conversation slash argument with, you know,

4:55.9

four real little on Monday that yeah, I think this is the Jets. They look at themselves and go, hey, we're real. And this guy can get us over the top. Yeah, Derrick car would have been good.

5:05.3

But I agree with what you just said there at the end. You need something drastic here. This is just the more I think about it.

5:11.8
