Best gift I've ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like, it was so, it was all wrapped up,

it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing's shaped like a bike and I had a little ribbon on it and I was so

a guest. For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling around my area now so, for that one change me a little.

Enjoy in every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks.

Welcome back to the Cover 3 podcast with your host Chip Patterson, Tom Furnnelli, Danny Canal and Bud Elliott.

It's your call for the best college football coverage from National Signing Day to the National Championship and everything in between.

CBS Sports presents the Cover 3 podcast.

Hello, it is Monday, May 2nd, 2022. It's finally May. Thank God April so it like it was never going to end.

If you aren't in the transfer portal by now though, buddy, you are stuck.

I think we're going to get news for the next couple of days because school compliance departments aren't required to enter the names into the portal officially for at least 48 hours.

These transfer partners are not quite done yet, but if you have not in the papers and yet, sorry, if you if you're stuck, don't worry.

You've still got the cover 3 podcast to listen to and we are Danny you might eat all this over the weekend. We are the only college football podcast out there that is an official sponsor of a 12 and under softball team.

So ghost slammers. I'm Tom Furnnelli. He's Danny can now, but Elliott is either still on a plane heading towards Nashville or he's landed from a plane in Nashville.

Either way, he's going to meetings. Maybe those meetings are with high power attorneys that we've hired to help us free chip Patterson from prison. Maybe not we're not really at liberty to say, but chip if you're listening during your one hour of free time in the yard, I suppose.

We love you and we are trying our hardest on today's show. We are going to discuss the Jordan Madison situation, speaking of transfers and all that stuff, but not so much Jordan Madison in particular, but we're going to use that story as an impetus to discuss what's going on with NIL and basically pay for play at large.

What's happening, what worries us, what do we think the future of all this is going to look like, what would we like to see change all that kind of fun stuff will also go over the NFL draft, but not from like that this team gets an A or this was a, you know, a reach kind of perspective, just more from the college football perspective of things because this is a college football podcast.

Before we do any of that, Danny, I know you were in Vegas all weekend covering the draft, but I just have one question for you, do you really think chip killed that drifter and do you think the drifter at least deserved it?

Probably I'll go yes and yes, those are my answers.

And hopefully we'll get him back on here soon once all those charges clear and everything gets back to I have a feeling we'll get it done sooner rather than later, but it's good to be back it's going to be back home in one piece. I will say this.

I am I'm going to take every bet of the teams against the Las Vegas Golden Knights because you know there's the South Beach flu in the NBA.

There's definitely a so I have a little bit of the Las Vegas flu coming in today after way too many nights of fun, but I know it was four nights I was in Las Vegas.
