clear water revival it's wednesday morning five 25 nice to have you with us we had a nice day

0:36.6

for the two baseball teams yesterday we've got football football, well, not starting, but yeah, we're a few weeks away from the draft. We've got a lot going on right now. NBA playoffs starting next week. Oh, yeah. Lots happening. Speaking of the draft, this Fernando Mendoza, who everyone loves and he's a Jesus guy, he's who's better than him? He seems nicest. Who's better than him? Man on the planet, he'll go. He would even have, he would have even come to the Jets if the Jets were drafting him. Like, this seems like a nice man overall. But he is not attending the draft. I don't like that. He's doing him. I don't like that. He's going to stay home with his family. But the whole point of the draft is so that you get called up to the stage. You take, you get the hug. You get the hug. Yeah. Roger Goodell. You get the ill-fitting hat. They hold, you hold a jersey up. Mm- up. That's part of the process.

1:28.5

Like, you're going to be the number one pick.

1:31.5

You're not getting snubbed.

1:33.4

You're the number one guy.

1:34.9

Get your ass to the draft and let's go.

1:36.9

Now, this is leverage.

1:40.1

What you mean?

1:40.9

This is, I'm not going to have to go to draft.

2:01.0

I'm being picked number one. Yeah, you don't have to, but it's just, it's a bad look. I don't disagree. And if he doesn't play well, that's going to be part one of him, like the PR stain, if you will. Yeah. It will start with, well, he thought he was too good to go to the draft. That having been said, I think it's hilarious that Roger Goodell is going to go up there, announce him, that's that. He should tell the Raiders, you're not allowed to pick him. No one can pick him on the first day. Then he goes to the Jets. No, no one's allowed to pick him. Oh, no one can pick him. Yeah, well, that's not going to happen. They'll teach him a lesson. They don't have a camera in his house. I know. I just say, I don't know.

2:20.2

I don't like that.

2:21.1

It is different. But he's a lovely kid. He was a lovely kid. He's now all of a sudden, it seems like a little bit of a douche. Maybe he's, maybe he's a shy kid and doesn't want all the pomp and circumstance i don't know i've no he wants he wants it now they did in the article i was reading in

2:36.6

2021 Trevor law kid and doesn't want all the pomp and circumstance. I don't know. I had no idea. He wants it.

3:08.5

Now, they did in the article I was reading in 2021, Trevor Lawrence was the number one pick and did not go to the draft either. How's his career worked out? Not great. Not great. Not terrible. He was better last year. He had a down year in 20. What year is this? This is 26. 2024 was a bad year for him. He was better this year. Yeah. For sure. But yes, there was a point there over the last couple of years where I'm not going to use the word bust. I wouldn't say that, but not living up to the hype. He seemed like average. Yes, I would agree. Not a bad quarterback, but it certainly wasn't a great quarterback. This year was pretty damn good.

3:09.0

Okay.

3:13.9

You know, I think, too, I'd have to go back and look.

3:18.1

Wasn't that also somewhat still COVID-related in 2021?
