Welcome to GM Street part of the Ringer podcast network. It is Wednesday. It is August 15th and joining me in the studio for the first time in a very very long time

Mr. Michael Lombardi. Lombardi how you doing? I'm good. Take Frazier. It's good to see you guys. Hi. I'd be back. I'm happy to have you back.

I know that you're going to miss Jersey a lot of being back on the West Coast but I miss you a lot in studio because it's not as fun to talk to you on the phone. I love

You know listen and and senior react to all the Hugh Jackson antics that come out of Hard Knocks in person. So I'm happy that we can do that today. We should say we'll do some clean up duty at the top here. We apologize. Our schedule seems to fluctuate every single week with these shows and when they come out. But moving forward we believe that we will be recording shows Mondays and Wednesdays. That is the plan. We're going to have a show Monday. And we're going to have a show next Monday. Right. We're going to eat a lot of topics.

Over the weekend. All the big games. All the big hat things of the preseason. Of course. And the Wednesdays we're going to do like we're going to do today, which is review Hard Knocks and then just talk about you know some some random stories around the league.

And that bell is a little disappointed because by her not by me being here she can't get bark on the phone. And then you know she doesn't get a voice heard. So because she has a lot of commentary about Hugh Jackson as well. Of course a lot of people out there.

He's in Cleveland too at one time. So you know you got to get to get that out of there. Yeah. You got to have a lot of thoughts. And obviously we know it's too good isn't it. It's the best. It is HBO and HBO understands how to make good TV. And luckily we have some some real stars this season. And and Hugh Jackson is the biggest star. Right. I mean he is coming back to his world. Of course.

It's an interesting thing. I think for fans it's interesting to look into the world of what actually goes on behind closed doors. You know that's one of the things I tried to do in my book.

Great. I am genius. I tried to take the reader behind the 27 days until what it is. Yeah. I count those days. Boy, I'm counting them. And so the

I like a peek into it. And you it's a little bit of a little bit of insight into how it is but don't always think remember this opening line. The key here is is bill wall's told me in 1984 we're only compete against eight.

So not all teams look like this. That's what I'll say good, better and different not all teams look like this. So but I think it's fun to analyze it and see it from a different perspective.

And you talk about seeing it perspective. We got to talk about the opening of this episode. This is episode two. This is the second week that we get an inside look into the Cleveland Browns camp.

And we opened up with Corey Coleman a first-round pick. Hughes first first-round pick in 2016 a guy that a lot of people believe could be a franchise caliber receiver alongside Josh Gorgas.

So we get this straight. Okay. So I believe this and you can check this in your notes. And I should have had this prepared for the show. But Corey Coleman was the guy they traded away from in the Carson Wentz deal that essentially gave them Carson Wentz.

So they traded back down. Yeah. They traded back down because there was no real quarterback in that draft. They felt like worthy of the first pick in the draft.

And that's what Corey Coleman was to the Cleveland Browns at the time. And that's what he was valued at. So we talk about value all the time, especially with draft picks. And that was one of the big storylines headed in this draft with Baker Mayfield.

We're going to talk about Baker a little bit later in this episode because he comes and you know kind of clarifies the fact that he does want to be a guy that gets up early and works hard.

So Hughes words of advice do pay, you know, pay out this time with Baker Mayfield. But first let's get back to Corey Coleman. Corey Coleman opens this episode.
