Summary

In Hour 2… (00:50) We’re officially in mock draft season, and the Cam Ward to go #1 discourse is starting to gain some steam. ESPN’s Louis Riddick gave glowing support of Ward, however other personnel executives say he’s more similar to Bo Nix - the 12th overall pick in last year’s draft. The guys discuss what they think of Ward’s draft stock, as well as players whose stock could rise as the draft nears, such as Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart. (15:22) “Missin’ Curfew” host Shane O’Brien stopped by to talk hockey ahead of Thursday’s Four Nations Face-Off Final between the United States and Canada. Shane and the guys get into the hype of this year’s tournament, as well as the notable injuries the United States is facing as they head into the final. They also discuss how important the international tournament has been to the league this year, as well as the possibility of expanding the tournament in the coming years. Finally, they give their preview and picks for the final, and to quote Senior “Get your popcorn ready.” (30:32) There’s been one 12-team College Football Playoff, and we’re already talking about changing the seeding format. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey stated "I'm prepared to vote for seeding change, but it has to be unanimous” and the guys break everything down. They analyze what the potential seeding changes could look like, if they like the current format or are in favor of changes as the playoff moves forward, and how automatic qualifiers are designated to certain schools and conferences. (40:52) This, That and The Third THIS: A.J. Brown buys mannequin THAT: Shohei Ohtani: Good at Baseball, Bad at Parallel Parking THE THIRD: The worst robbers of All-Time?

1:55.7	draft in the spring, the number one pick is a fascinating, fascinating exercise where I have seen more and more people comfortable in recent weeks and mock drafts and the conversations around this talking about taking non-quarterbacks at number one, something that we've seen before, but generally is not the way the NFL wants to operate, considering how quarterback thirsty this league is.
2:14.9	But with two-way stars like Travis Hunter or incredible pass rushers
